Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nub two, our two of
the radio show, and we are talking pro bouncy ball.
The owner of the mav Rex, Mark Cuban reality TV
show Guy has come out defending Kyrie. Irving says, it's
all the fact that he's misunderstood. Why is Mark Cuban
(00:22):
passionately defending ky Roy's nonsense on and off the court?
Did Zion Williamson win votes with his talks about dieting
to the media? And how are James Harden's trade demands
looking right now? For the sixers? How are those things going?
We'll talk about that and more right now here. It
is our number two stand by your overpaid star. That's
(00:50):
the ticket. Yeah, sure, why not? Welcome. In the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show, we are
in the air every you wear at Jason as you
put our toes in the sand, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the bast and forcefully powerful
(01:11):
microphones of fsre amminating live from the bump things that
go bumping, he bump in the middle of the night,
like people playing the nose trumpet. The Malard Palooza continues.
We'll get to those acts in a little bit. We
are broadcasting live from the tire rack dot Com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
(01:33):
free shipping, free road hazard protection over ten thousand. That's

tire buying chew.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Me.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And if you were with us last hour, you heard
our friend Matt from Nashville. He did the nose trumpet.
How was our opening act in Malle plus will have
much much more of that, many more acts here this hour,
but a good opening to the talent show. But our
lead this hour, actually I have to talk sports. Don't
trouble with boss. The boss gets upset, so they'll be
asleep soon. So our lead this hour coming from the
(02:06):
NBA Pro Bouncy Ball Talk in July, and we start
in Dallas, where Mark Cuban has loose lips. Now, if
you didn't hear what he said, possibly not. The mavrec
owner Mark Cuban did an interview with state sponsored NBA
Radio and he explained why he is a believer in
(02:27):
Kyrie Irving even though Kyrie went to Dallas and the
Mavericks literally pooped at mid court with Kyrie on the team,
didn't even make the playoffs, tried not to make the playoffs,
didn't want to be in the play in tournament, even
though Miami was in the playing tournament, got to the
NBA Finals. Dallas has such a losing mentality there, that's
mavreck culture. That they didn't even want that, they didn't
(02:48):
want to shot at going on a run in the
playing tournament, and they tanked at the end and got
caught tanking. Anyway, get to the point, please, So Mark Cuban,
appearing on this state sponsored NBA radio says it's going
to be different. He explain why he believes that Kyrie
Irving is a good person and is just quote misunderstood
by many people. Quote. I think Kyrie is just misunderstood,
(03:11):
Cuban opined. Everyone sees all the noise and everything around him,
but when you actually talk to him, I like him.
He's open, he's smart, he's always looking to learn things.
To me, he's an interesting guy. That's just misunderstood. Close quote.
So let us discuss the question here, all right, Why
is Mark Cuban defending Kyrie Irving's nonsense. It's not just
(03:35):
his basketball. I understand defending the basketball part of it,
but the other stuff, to me, that sounded like a
full defense of the entire Kyrie experience. So I've got
Sister Sledge, empty caries, and comic book super Villain, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make an amazing night in the Mallard Palooza,
(03:58):
which this night is than all other Knights. So number WA,
Mark Cuban has to protect his investment. I get that
part of it. The MAVs absolutely bungled this situation. Can
we all agree on that? Everyone nod your head yet,
all right? So they traded a bunch of goodies, if
(04:20):
you will, random draft picks players to get Uncle Drew
from Brooklyn, and they then boxed themselves into a corner.
Because of Kyrie's contractual obligations and his free agency, they
had to keep the player. They had to keep the player.
So no matter how big a whack a doodle Kyrie is,
and by NBA standards, he's pretty high up on the
(04:42):
whack of doodle scoreboard, the Mavericks had to keep him.
So Mark Cuban cut the big cartoon sized check three years,
one hundred and twenty six million, dead presidents and now
now he's singing a Sister Sledge classic we Are Family,
We Are Family, and smoking the peace pipe. He's also
(05:04):
doing some gas lighting here, and we talk about gas lighting.
It's psychological manipulation. It's a form of psychological manipulation when
you tried to confuse right. Misunderstood is a buzzword, planting
the seed of doubt, like maybe everything you've come to
know about Kyrie and all the things that he's promoted
(05:28):
and just misunderstand. It's the media. You know, he's the
guy keep it away, he's the guy that sends stuff
out on social media. It's not like his account. He
has caused friction everywhere he's been on and off the court.
Cleveland didn't want to play with Lebron anymore, wanted to leave.
Cleveland went to Boston, didn't like Boston, said he wanted
(05:50):
to play. He wanted to initially he actually liked Boston,
and then he didn't want it. Went to Brooklyn, talked
about how you want to play there. He was a
fan of the Nets as a kid and all that crap,
and then that was at Loggerheads with Durant. By the
time he got done in Brooklyn, and the one common
denominator in all of these situations is Kiray Irving. It's
(06:15):
gonna happen in Big d Kyrie also agreed to a
new shoe deal with a sneaker company from communist China,
So remember that next time he attacks America and things
that are going on in the culture in America. Kyrie
is now fully in bed with China. So all right now,
page two. Here Zion Williamson, the big Tabagou from the Bayou.
(06:37):
Zion Williamson has popped back up on our radar, and
during an appearance on the Gilbert Arenas podcast Everyone's Got
a Podcast, Zion admitted the difficulties of maintaining a diet,
having problems with his day. He said, there are times
where I will say, man, that blank sword, it is hard.
(07:00):
It's hard, man. He talked about twenty twenty two, it's
a lot of money, and he went on and on
talked about how hard is Did Zion Williamson win votes
with his talk about dieting being hard? Did that resonate
with the electorate. I'm gonna go now. I'm gonna go
(07:23):
now because unlike Joe Blow or your favorite gas bag,
that would be me. Well, maybe I'm not your favorite
gas bag, but I have had the battle of the
bulge my entire life, right and to me this rant
by Zion. He also said he was gonna copy lebron
James training blueprint. Doesn't Lebron spend like a million dollars
(07:44):
a year on training or something like that. You like
to talk about that good luck, good luck. This is chips, fries, donuts,
ice cream. It's empty calories. There's no substance to it.
And I think most people most I've had friends that
could eat an entire cow and they wouldn't gain a pound.
(08:05):
But for most of us, men and women, we eat,
we get fat and it becomes a problem. And the
older you get, the worst it gets, and all that stuff.
But here's the difference. Like, my job is to come
here and bark like a dog or howl like a
wolf at the moon in the middle of the night,
and you don't necessarily have to be in shape. But
(08:27):
you know, if I'm an athlete, you're you're no different
than a prostitute. You're selling your body. Prostitutes sell their body,
Athletes sell their body. That is your product, and so
Zion Williamson is selling his athletic talents on the court,
and so that's his job, and they paid him the max.
(08:48):
I'm upset with that because I pull for the fat athlete.
There is fit fat. We have had fit fat athletes
over the years. He's not fit fat. He's not. He's not.
I need fit fat. I need zion to be fit fat.
He's not fitfed, he's not. He's six to six, he's
listed at two eighty four. He looks over three hundred
pounds to me. And he's been a spectator. He was
limited to twenty nine games last season, twenty nine. He
(09:11):
missed the entire twenty twenty one to twenty two season
while recovering from foot surgery. And he has practiced load management.
And I could make a joke not only on the court,
but off it shout out OnlyFans. But that's a different conversation.
All right, final point, We are told that James Harden
has reiterated as we go to Philadelphia, he has reiterated
(09:32):
that the seventy six ers must get rid of him.
He does not want to play there anymore, even though
he opted in for thirty five point six million. He
has told his buddy Darryl Morey, who he's chumming with
that I would like to get out of the Delaware Valley.
I don't want to be there anymore, even though he
opted in. How are James Harden's trade demands going for
(09:54):
the Sixers? How's this going?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Harden at this point is like a comic book super villain. Okay,
he's mister Freeze as in Cairogenic's Gone Bad. He's frozen
in Philadelphia, even though it's the summertime. He's in a
holding pattern. He's gonna turn thirty four years old, which
is not old in the real world, but in sports
it's old if you're a basketball player. He's facing gloominess
(10:21):
is what he's facing. Nobody is going to trade much
for James Harden at this particular point in time. That's
a fact, Jack, and it's a game of chicken. The
seventy six er is trying to get something for this guy.
The rest of the league is like, E you know,
we'll call you, don't call us. It is the Ben
Malor Show, the Mallor Poalooza. The Malor Palooza continues. I
(10:44):
see a couple of Actually, this is very exciting. We've
got two acts lined up. We'll get Jay Scoop back

Will when we live night.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Of the start. Listen every one of them a night me.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, no, no, no, wait wait a minute, that's not
a full that's not a full gong. That's just because
you went a little long. Yeah, it's just that it's act.
Was not acting yet you're not. You didn't get knocked off.
The show was how long ago?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I understand, I understand. I remember when I was a DJ,
there was a Branford Marsalis song that was like twenty
minutes and I need to go to the bathroom. I
would put that on because it was great, but but no,
you were you were great. Let's go to the judges'
scorecards here in the Mallard Palooza. We'll start with Eddie. Eddie,
how did your great Mitchell here? An original song? He
performed the guitar and he's saying at the same time,
(15:29):
so he was doing two things there factor that in.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Absolutely, it was a little bit hard to hear the lyrics.
But he's in if he's talking, he's playing into a phone.
So I mean, this is not a professional setup. We understand, we.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Have to be You don't think this is professional, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Uh to move on? Uh so Uh, it sounded like
he had a good voice. I like this voice, sounded
like he was playing the guitar. Well, he's definitely got
some talent. Again, couldn't really hear the lyrics. I don't
think it was a Mallor show song necessarily, maybe just
an original song and he was singing about don't know
what he was saying about, but I thought it sounded good,
good voice, pretty good guitar playing. I'm gonna give him
(16:04):
a seven, a seven.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Wait, you gave him a seven the other guy you
gave him five. Yeah, okay, all right, I don't Understandlo's
going to his judge, and right, we go to one
to ten.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
By the way, the judges point total, we add up
the point. I feel like Eddie and I have a
similar ear for talent. No, it's a great EARN.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Give him twelve.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Apparently.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I pretty much agree with everything that Eddie said. I mean,
the only thing, like, you know, it's speakerphone, so the
quality is not great, but I mean there's nothing we
can do about that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
That's you know what.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
I can tell that if it was like a perfect
quality connection, if we were over like ISDN doing that,
I think I use anymore. That's true. Uh anyway, I
think it would have sounded great. But from the like
small amount of lyrics I could hear, I don't think
it was about about the show necessarily. Just yeah, just
(17:00):
a random lyrics. So I'm gonna give it seven and
a half.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Seven. You guys are so bad at this, Chris, how
do you shore it? Chris? All right?
Speaker 8 (17:10):
So yeah, I'm gonna agree with them. And that it
was over the phone. This is probably something you should
have probably been recorded to send in. It was very
hard to understand it. I would have liked to at
least be able to hear it, but there is a
more inherent problem in that he sounds like not just
he's playing the guitar, but he's a guitar guy.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
That guitar guy. Yes, the dreddit guitar.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
I mean if you're using a soft voice with a
guitar like yeah, yeah, I've seen Collins.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Women love that kind of stuff. Yeah, that's the problem.
It works for John Mayer. Yeah, man, Well, I'm sorry.
Was that John Mayer? No, it might have been John Mayer.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Well, John Mayer's got a step of his act. Then
four and a half? Wow, okay is unbelievably low. Jay Scoop,
a man that has won this Talent Show more than
any anyone else. How'd you score at Jay School? Four
and a half? That's pretty low.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
I definitely was down the same lane that Eddie and
Coop was lane. No, No, it was. It was great,
even with not being able to hear all the nuances.
It was definitely quality quality playing, quality singing, but unfortunately
without hearing some of those nuances, definitely can't go too high.
(18:25):
I was kind of right there. Seven eight, So I
think I'm gonna have to follow what Coop said. Seven
point five, seven point five. All right, you guys are
all terrible other than Chris, so listen. It was hard
to understand the lyrics. It wasn't about the show.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So I'm gonna downgrade you some points on that you
play the guitar better than me, which is annoying. I
have no musical ability. My mom tried to teach me
the piano when I was a kid, and all I
did was I'd run across the keys with my finger around.
Oh dog you two. Yeah, I did that when I
was a kid. My mom was so annoyed. She spent
so many hours. So I am listen. It was it
was original, it was hard to hear, and it wasn't
(18:57):
about the show. I'm gonna give you a five. I'm
gonna give you a five.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
But he gave the news trumping guy.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Because that was listen. That was entertaining. I laughed at that. Mitchell,
keep listening, Mitchell, thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Probably is practiced for years and nights on guitar. Some
guy got board talent.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Much better for the show, Eddie, much better for the show.
All right, let's go to Pam. She's our next act.
She's in Seattle. Hello Pam, Welcome, Hey, how you doing, Pam.
Good to have you on here. Welcome to the show, Pam.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
Well, I just want to say, as a woman, I
totally dig that last act because I think that women
really love hearing the guitar so exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
That's what I'm saying. Man, these guys are ripping that guy,
and you ladies love that. You talking about Chris, Chris
lower than I gave him a five seven and a
half average. No, but Chris was ripping guitar guy.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That's what.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I didn't rip guitar guys. You did. You said you
played guitar better than me. Five No, I said, listen,
I said, women like guys that played the guitar. That's
all I said. And I disagree with Chris. Chris was
annoyed because in college you said there was the guitar
guy and all that. And there's a bunch of the
guitar guys in LA where we were, and I've been
a Seattle there's a bunch of guitar guys in Seattle too.
All right, Sorry, I've heard Wonderwall too many times. All right,
(20:13):
turn your mic off, Pam. Welcome. We get no women
call this show ever, So it's a very well, we
have like three that's it and mostly dudes. But welcome Pam.
And what are you going to be performing here? Pam?
What do we need to do?
Speaker 10 (20:26):
So you know, I was originally going to try to
earn some brown points with our illustrious panel. Shout out
to Jay Swoops, who I heard has moved away from
the PNW, But unfortunately all about the Benjamins just doesn't
translate very well to the viola. So I have another
song for you guys in honor of All Star Week
(20:50):
for the Seattle Mariners. Are you guys ready?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Absolutely, the floor is yours and here we are our
next act, Pam from Seattle. Yeahbelievable, damn in Seattle. Wow,
(21:40):
that was great, unreal. Okay, let's go to the judges
scorecards and Eddie, how did you score it? I love that.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I was not sure exactly if she was going to
sing or what she was gonna do, but busting out
the violin there, it was very nice.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
At the violin. What do you what do you call it? Pam, viola?
Get it right, Edie, it's embarrassing it come on, I
loved it.
Speaker 10 (22:04):
It was.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I love how it was topical because of the All
Star Game and all that. That was very cool, performed
very well. I'm gonna give her my highest score so far.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I'm gonna give her eight in eight from Eddie unbelievable
and ate uh Ja Cooper, how do you score it?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Cool?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I loved it. It sounded, it sounded really good. The quality.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
I don't know if it's just she just has a
better phone, but it translated well to the radio. Uh
tying it in, you know, making its sports It was great.
I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna give it. I'm
gonna go I'm gonna go nine.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No by our first nine. Pam, you got her first nine.
She got the first nine. Chris, I love the Beola
as someone who studied a little bit of classical music
and opera well in in college.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
I'm not humble about being here in sports song radio
after doing over night sports radio.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, I know, I know, I'm down to the gutter
with you.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
I know, I know. Don't need to rub it in.
But excellent choice in the viola clear over the air
on her phone, which is impressive. There the tune was
clearly identifiable. We were all kind of rocking out to
it in here. I'm I'm with Coop nine nine solid,
back to back dines.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Right now we go to the musician, Jay Scoop. Now,
she did suck up to you a little bit because
she mentioned the Pacific Northwest year old. It's not because
you don't know her, right, she's just I don't, I don't, okay.
But first yeah, first off, hey, Pam, alright, you're going
to Ukraine Ja school, come dock, okay.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
You're Second of all, did any of you feel like
transported into like a Ken Burns documentary, right.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yes, yes, yes, that's how it's great?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Man.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It was really like baseball and Civil War crossing.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Exactly, amazing, heartwarming, solid nine nine.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
All right, listen, Yola, it sounds foreign to me. The viola, yeah,
I know violin, the viola. But and she we could
hear it. It was sports related. It wasn't about our show,
but it was you hear that song. I love baseball?
You hear that song? And she did it wonderfully. We
could hear everything. She nailed it nine point five point five,
(24:24):
not Pam, you got a nine point five, Pam.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
It's gonna be tough to beat.
Speaker 1 (24:27):

It's a hard act to follow, Chris, because Pam really
knocked it out of the park there with her Viola.
She did a tremendous job. But you you're going next
and you're gonna do something a little different. Is that right, Chris.
I'm told you're doing something a little different than these
other acts.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
I'm kind of from the same university that you graduated
up cynicism, so I'm a stand up comedian. So we'll
see if we can turn this dulgrum of a summer
loan down, you know, starting with the the All Star
Game last night. I mean, talk about snooth the Paloza.
I'd rather watch Late in Seattle with with Eddie and
(27:01):
Netflix until.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
What do you say, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I'm good, thank you though.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Okay, Well, yeah, so I'm here in Tulsa, so we
getting not only all your small and misfits that you
don't want, We got the Tulsa Drillers, which is your
minor league team. Woo woo for that. But let me
say that baseball is really trying to jazz it up
a little bit with the with the new rules and whatnot.
But in Oakland, I gotta say, if if a wooden
(27:29):
back fellon Oakland Forest Stadium and nobody heard it, did
it really happen?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Ben yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't think it did.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Yeah, hey, are you like giving out a for effort?
How about a for awful? But I just don't like
what baseball is going. I think they're reverting back to
the racist roots. I mean, really, they're just making up
rules as they go.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I mean, all right, all right, thank you, Chris. Let's
go to the judge of scorecards. Eddie had your grade?
Chris is comedy routine. Here, we'll see what that was. Yes,
he was doing stand up comedy, Eddie. That was his act.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
There.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He's the top stand up comedian in so Oklaholma. By
the way, Yeah, he's the number one stand up comedian until.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Well again again, anyone that calls in and does the
act have my respect for.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You're stealing by I used that line the last several years.
You hate all these people.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Well, listening to Chris in Oklahoma with his I didn't
know if he was like delivering some sort of monologue.
I didn't I mean, if he was trying for commentary
or or a comedy act. I have to be honest,
I didn't even crack a smile with anything he had
to say. Yeah, I was I was actually longing for
the nose.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Trumpet guy to come back entertain.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
So, I'm gonna go to two.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
All right.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
You know, I see what he was trying to do,
trying to tie his act into current sports events, and
you know, this is a sports talk radio show.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
So I appreciate that. I'm gonna give it a four.
A four. Wow, that is a high score from group Chris.
How did you grade the comedy routine from Chris in
TULSL sit down comedy?
Speaker 8 (29:15):
So I caught him saying it was a stand up
comedy act at the start, and I'm glad I did
just so I knew where he was going because I
probably couldn't tell from the act itself. I will give
him this, and I believe I believe some you know,
critique should be fair and balanced. He did in spite
of us all just kind of sitting there in silence.
He kept thundering through so clearly, even though he knew
(29:37):
he was bombing the set. I hope he knew he
was bombing the set, he still managed to get some
more jokes out. Nevertheless, Uh, two and a.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Two and a half, all right, two and a half,
Jay Scoop, how did you grade the comedy routine here,
Jay scoop, Oh man, that was so painful.
Speaker 9 (29:53):
Like that reminded me of being on stage and you're
getting ready to start and then you see your guitarist
and his amp isn't working, and then you got to
like say something to the audience to try to make
it work. And I mean and then he was out
of breath for a moment there. I thought it was
going to be a cardiac Stanley moment.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I don't bring that up. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
So he was definitely giving it the effort. I'm going
two point five.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Two point five, all right, So here's the way I
saw it. Now, he's a fan of the show, so
I got to put some points in for that. Comedy
is very difficult to do, and I really appreciate the
great stand up comedy people. It's so hard, especially without
a live audience, to get reaction. And not a single
person here laughed, nobody played along. Yours truly included in that.
(30:40):
But the fact that he's a fan of the show,
he did not stop. He continued on. I'm going to
give him a minus three. That's on my scorecards. So congratulations, Chris,
you get a minus three on that. But thank you.
Thank you for participating in that. You'll get a little
ribbon right near your name. The Malarpalooza continues. We will
(31:03):
have many more acts to come throughout the overnight. Here

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Malapaluza continues, but here's the insta trivia. Blank is the
only MLB All Star ever whose name has contained the
letters that spell the word all Star. That's the question.
What's the answer? Cowboy Killer going with Charlie Chaplin as
his answer. Who else you have? Malaprop Guy goes with
(32:41):
Lars Tals as his answer. H Page Down La t
La Cruz from Jordan in Ohio. Corey Korndog Snyder guests

have Don Zimmer from Robin Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
R A.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Dickey from Bubbsy that's his answer. Page Dan here. I
think that's enough. Do you have an answer, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Yes, it has to be dan Ugler.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Dan Uggla. It's a fine answer. Second basement for the
Marlins back in the day. That is incorrect. The correct answer.
William greis William Contracity. He was with the Braves last
year as an All Star, but he his name includes
all the letters that spell the word all star, William Contreras.
And he is now a catcher for the Milwaukee Brewers.
(34:13):
So Cooper had a pivot point here. We can do
Mallard of the third degree, or we can do another act.
What would you rather? Do you want to do in
their act? It's totally up to you. I find either way.
We have some pre recorded acts that we can do
right here, play on one of our our acts that
were submitted early, or we can do Mallard of the
third degree. Uh degree, All right, let's do it. Here
we go, it'smallar. How about that?
Speaker 3 (34:35):
To the third degree. This is one big gets grail.

Speaker 7 (34:56):
At When asked by the media about the Live Golf
PG situation, Adam Silver said the idea of a sovereign
wealth fund purchasing an NBA team is not gonna happen
on his watch. Quote for the foreseeable future, Ben, do
you think a sovereign wealth fund could infiltrate some of
our team sports?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yes. In fact, Adam Silver, he says, my majority owner.
But they call them governors because they're stupid. But it's
already happened. The Sovereign Wealth Fund, i believe, has purchased
five percent of the parent company of the Washington Wizards
and the Washington Capitals, so that they've already started the
(35:34):
process or process, and all these teams talk about, oh,
we're not gonna do this, We're not gonna do that.
Trust me. If the most money comes from the Saudi wealth,
they could buy every team. It's it's inevitable, it's going
to happen. If they want it to happen, they'll buy
the NFL. They can buy any team they want. They've
got seven hundred billion dollars to play with next.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Last season, the NFC South was the worst division in
the NFL, as the Bucks made the player with a
sub five hundred record. All four teams made changes to
their quarterback position in the offseason. Which team do you
think has the best shot of turning it around?
Speaker 3 (36:07):
All right?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
So the answer is none of the above. That is
a fertilizer division if you look at the NFC South.
But if you put a gun to my head, I
would call the police and I would say the New
Orleans Saints with Derek Carr, because typically Derek Carr is
fined for like seven or eight games, and then he
hits a wall and he falls in. There's like a
(36:29):
demon sinkhole that opens up and he falls into it.
But I can't go with Baker Mayfield. He's a hot mess. Tampa,
that's a disaster. Carolina is starting a rookie quarterback and
Atlanta's starting somebody I've never heard of, So that is
an outhouse division.
Speaker 7 (36:42):
Next, an unnamed NFL coordinator said that he believes Micah
Parsons will be the best edge rusher in the league
by next season. Oh, Ben, who do you think is
the best pass rusher in the league right now?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Edge rusher? Well, you think the usual suspect is that
Joey Bosa usually kills the ram as a guy on
the on the edge from time to time. Miles Garrett, TJ. Watt,
those are like the big three guys on that list,
making impact plays and whatnot. But Michaeh Parsons a good player,
and more importantly, he is a interesting cat the way
(37:16):
that he deals with the media and whatnot. So he's
good for our show playing for the Cowboys. He's young guy,
he'll be around a long time and being part of
the Cowboys means that you get your tires pumped up
a little bit more from the Dallas media and all that.
But the answer to her question is Joey Bosa, TJ. Watt,
and Miles Garrett. There it is Mallard of the third degree.
(37:37):
How did we do Koopa loop? Then you pass this edition.
That is a winner. You can put it on the bar. Yes,
and we say hello to Paul in Rhode Island, better
known as Red Breast. Paul, Hello, Paul, Hi ben Ma.
I'm not as good as you.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
You know why I call tonight?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
You want to be part of the mallor palooza.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
No, you know why I called the night because these
grunch uniforms were so disgusting that an old man from Brookline,
eighty seven year old man.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Okay, his name is.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Sashi Cats He said, Paully, who's that playing?
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Who's that?
Speaker 6 (38:29):
It's like, what the hell? What kind of grunch uniforms
of this?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
This is not the first time you did in my area?
You know, Yeah, all right, you're you're complaining. You're you're
complaining about the uniforms in the All Star Game. You
didn't you didn't like.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Yeah, the poor guy, I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I don't know what to tell.
Speaker 6 (38:48):
Him, Like he plays in my area all the time,
and it's like.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah, well that's I mean, that's a tough one, Paul.
I don't know what he's upset about, you know, I mean,
I don't care. I didn't like him either, But what
do you want me.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
To do with it.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
Atlantic, Yeah, I mean it's the Atlantic.
Speaker 5 (39:05):
It's the falcons.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
That's the falcons. That's right, all right,
Hello and welcome. It's our nub two, our two of
the radio show, and we are talking pro bouncy ball.
The owner of the mav Rex, Mark Cuban reality TV
show Guy has come out defending Kyrie. Irving says, it's
all the fact that he's misunderstood. Why is Mark Cuban
(00:22):
passionately defending ky Roy's nonsense on and off the court?
Did Zion Williamson win votes with his talks about dieting
to the media? And how are James Harden's trade demands
looking right now? For the sixers? How are those things going?
We'll talk about that and more right now here. It
is our number two stand by your overpaid star. That's
(00:50):
the ticket. Yeah, sure, why not? Welcome. In the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show, we are
in the air every you wear at Jason as you
put our toes in the sand, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the bast and forcefully powerful
(01:11):
microphones of fsre amminating live from the bump things that
go bumping, he bump in the middle of the night,
like people playing the nose trumpet. The Malard Palooza continues.
We'll get to those acts in a little bit. We
are broadcasting live from the tire rack dot Com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
(01:33):
free shipping, free road hazard protection over ten thousand. That's
a lot recommended installers. Tire rack dot com the way
tire buying chew.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Me.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And if you were with us last hour, you heard
our friend Matt from Nashville. He did the nose trumpet.
How was our opening act in Malle plus will have
much much more of that, many more acts here this hour,
but a good opening to the talent show. But our
lead this hour, actually I have to talk sports. Don't
trouble with boss. The boss gets upset, so they'll be
asleep soon. So our lead this hour coming from the
(02:06):
NBA Pro Bouncy Ball Talk in July, and we start
in Dallas, where Mark Cuban has loose lips. Now, if
you didn't hear what he said, possibly not. The mavrec
owner Mark Cuban did an interview with state sponsored NBA
Radio and he explained why he is a believer in
(02:27):
Kyrie Irving even though Kyrie went to Dallas and the
Mavericks literally pooped at mid court with Kyrie on the team,
didn't even make the playoffs, tried not to make the playoffs,
didn't want to be in the play in tournament, even
though Miami was in the playing tournament, got to the
NBA Finals. Dallas has such a losing mentality there, that's
mavreck culture. That they didn't even want that, they didn't
(02:48):
want to shot at going on a run in the
playing tournament, and they tanked at the end and got
caught tanking. Anyway, get to the point, please, So Mark Cuban,
appearing on this state sponsored NBA radio says it's going
to be different. He explain why he believes that Kyrie
Irving is a good person and is just quote misunderstood
by many people. Quote. I think Kyrie is just misunderstood,
(03:11):
Cuban opined. Everyone sees all the noise and everything around him,
but when you actually talk to him, I like him.
He's open, he's smart, he's always looking to learn things.
To me, he's an interesting guy. That's just misunderstood. Close quote.
So let us discuss the question here, all right, Why
is Mark Cuban defending Kyrie Irving's nonsense. It's not just
(03:35):
his basketball. I understand defending the basketball part of it,
but the other stuff, to me, that sounded like a
full defense of the entire Kyrie experience. So I've got
Sister Sledge, empty caries, and comic book super Villain, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make an amazing night in the Mallard Palooza,
(03:58):
which this night is than all other Knights. So number WA,
Mark Cuban has to protect his investment. I get that
part of it. The MAVs absolutely bungled this situation. Can
we all agree on that? Everyone nod your head yet,
all right? So they traded a bunch of goodies, if
(04:20):
you will, random draft picks players to get Uncle Drew
from Brooklyn, and they then boxed themselves into a corner.
Because of Kyrie's contractual obligations and his free agency, they
had to keep the player. They had to keep the player.
So no matter how big a whack a doodle Kyrie is,
and by NBA standards, he's pretty high up on the
(04:42):
whack of doodle scoreboard, the Mavericks had to keep him.
So Mark Cuban cut the big cartoon sized check three years,
one hundred and twenty six million, dead presidents and now
now he's singing a Sister Sledge classic we Are Family,
We Are Family, and smoking the peace pipe. He's also
(05:04):
doing some gas lighting here, and we talk about gas lighting.
It's psychological manipulation. It's a form of psychological manipulation when
you tried to confuse right. Misunderstood is a buzzword, planting
the seed of doubt, like maybe everything you've come to
know about Kyrie and all the things that he's promoted
(05:28):
and just misunderstand. It's the media. You know, he's the
guy keep it away, he's the guy that sends stuff
out on social media. It's not like his account. He
has caused friction everywhere he's been on and off the court.
Cleveland didn't want to play with Lebron anymore, wanted to leave.
Cleveland went to Boston, didn't like Boston, said he wanted
(05:50):
to play. He wanted to initially he actually liked Boston,
and then he didn't want it. Went to Brooklyn, talked
about how you want to play there. He was a
fan of the Nets as a kid and all that crap,
and then that was at Loggerheads with Durant. By the
time he got done in Brooklyn, and the one common
denominator in all of these situations is Kiray Irving. It's
(06:15):
gonna happen in Big d Kyrie also agreed to a
new shoe deal with a sneaker company from communist China,
So remember that next time he attacks America and things
that are going on in the culture in America. Kyrie
is now fully in bed with China. So all right now,
page two. Here Zion Williamson, the big Tabagou from the Bayou.
(06:37):
Zion Williamson has popped back up on our radar, and
during an appearance on the Gilbert Arenas podcast Everyone's Got
a Podcast, Zion admitted the difficulties of maintaining a diet,
having problems with his day. He said, there are times
where I will say, man, that blank sword, it is hard.
(07:00):
It's hard, man. He talked about twenty twenty two, it's
a lot of money, and he went on and on
talked about how hard is Did Zion Williamson win votes
with his talk about dieting being hard? Did that resonate
with the electorate. I'm gonna go now. I'm gonna go
(07:23):
now because unlike Joe Blow or your favorite gas bag,
that would be me. Well, maybe I'm not your favorite
gas bag, but I have had the battle of the
bulge my entire life, right and to me this rant
by Zion. He also said he was gonna copy lebron
James training blueprint. Doesn't Lebron spend like a million dollars
(07:44):
a year on training or something like that. You like
to talk about that good luck, good luck. This is chips, fries, donuts,
ice cream. It's empty calories. There's no substance to it.
And I think most people most I've had friends that
could eat an entire cow and they wouldn't gain a pound.
(08:05):
But for most of us, men and women, we eat,
we get fat and it becomes a problem. And the
older you get, the worst it gets, and all that stuff.
But here's the difference. Like, my job is to come
here and bark like a dog or howl like a
wolf at the moon in the middle of the night,
and you don't necessarily have to be in shape. But
(08:27):
you know, if I'm an athlete, you're you're no different
than a prostitute. You're selling your body. Prostitutes sell their body,
Athletes sell their body. That is your product, and so
Zion Williamson is selling his athletic talents on the court,
and so that's his job, and they paid him the max.
(08:48):
I'm upset with that because I pull for the fat athlete.
There is fit fat. We have had fit fat athletes
over the years. He's not fit fat. He's not. He's not.
I need fit fat. I need zion to be fit fat.
He's not fitfed, he's not. He's six to six, he's
listed at two eighty four. He looks over three hundred
pounds to me. And he's been a spectator. He was
limited to twenty nine games last season, twenty nine. He
(09:11):
missed the entire twenty twenty one to twenty two season
while recovering from foot surgery. And he has practiced load management.
And I could make a joke not only on the court,
but off it shout out OnlyFans. But that's a different conversation.
All right, final point, We are told that James Harden
has reiterated as we go to Philadelphia, he has reiterated
(09:32):
that the seventy six ers must get rid of him.
He does not want to play there anymore, even though
he opted in for thirty five point six million. He
has told his buddy Darryl Morey, who he's chumming with
that I would like to get out of the Delaware Valley.
I don't want to be there anymore, even though he
opted in. How are James Harden's trade demands going for
(09:54):
the Sixers? How's this going?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Harden at this point is like a comic book super villain. Okay,
he's mister Freeze as in Cairogenic's Gone Bad. He's frozen
in Philadelphia, even though it's the summertime. He's in a
holding pattern. He's gonna turn thirty four years old, which
is not old in the real world, but in sports
it's old if you're a basketball player. He's facing gloominess
(10:21):
is what he's facing. Nobody is going to trade much
for James Harden at this particular point in time. That's
a fact, Jack, and it's a game of chicken. The
seventy six er is trying to get something for this guy.
The rest of the league is like, E you know,
we'll call you, don't call us. It is the Ben
Malor Show, the Mallor Poalooza. The Malor Palooza continues. I
(10:44):

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Of the start. Listen every one of them a night me.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, no, no, no, wait wait a minute, that's not
a full that's not a full gong. That's just because
you went a little long. Yeah, it's just that it's act.
Was not acting yet you're not. You didn't get knocked off.
The show was how long ago?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I understand, I understand. I remember when I was a DJ,
there was a Branford Marsalis song that was like twenty
minutes and I need to go to the bathroom. I
would put that on because it was great, but but no,
you were you were great. Let's go to the judges'
scorecards here in the Mallard Palooza. We'll start with Eddie. Eddie,
how did your great Mitchell here? An original song? He
performed the guitar and he's saying at the same time,
(15:29):
so he was doing two things there factor that in.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Absolutely, it was a little bit hard to hear the lyrics.
But he's in if he's talking, he's playing into a phone.
So I mean, this is not a professional setup. We understand, we.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Have to be You don't think this is professional, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Uh to move on? Uh so Uh, it sounded like
he had a good voice. I like this voice, sounded
like he was playing the guitar. Well, he's definitely got
some talent. Again, couldn't really hear the lyrics. I don't
think it was a Mallor show song necessarily, maybe just
an original song and he was singing about don't know
what he was saying about, but I thought it sounded good,
good voice, pretty good guitar playing. I'm gonna give him
(16:04):
a seven, a seven.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Wait, you gave him a seven the other guy you
gave him five. Yeah, okay, all right, I don't Understandlo's
going to his judge, and right, we go to one
to ten.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
By the way, the judges point total, we add up
the point. I feel like Eddie and I have a
similar ear for talent. No, it's a great EARN.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Give him twelve.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Apparently.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I pretty much agree with everything that Eddie said. I mean,
the only thing, like, you know, it's speakerphone, so the
quality is not great, but I mean there's nothing we
can do about that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
That's you know what.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
I can tell that if it was like a perfect
quality connection, if we were over like ISDN doing that,
I think I use anymore. That's true. Uh anyway, I
think it would have sounded great. But from the like
small amount of lyrics I could hear, I don't think
it was about about the show necessarily. Just yeah, just
(17:00):
a random lyrics. So I'm gonna give it seven and
a half.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Seven. You guys are so bad at this, Chris, how
do you shore it? Chris? All right?
Speaker 8 (17:10):
So yeah, I'm gonna agree with them. And that it
was over the phone. This is probably something you should
have probably been recorded to send in. It was very
hard to understand it. I would have liked to at
least be able to hear it, but there is a
more inherent problem in that he sounds like not just
he's playing the guitar, but he's a guitar guy.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
That guitar guy. Yes, the dreddit guitar.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
I mean if you're using a soft voice with a
guitar like yeah, yeah, I've seen Collins.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Women love that kind of stuff. Yeah, that's the problem.
It works for John Mayer. Yeah, man, Well, I'm sorry.
Was that John Mayer? No, it might have been John Mayer.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Well, John Mayer's got a step of his act. Then
four and a half? Wow, okay is unbelievably low. Jay Scoop,
a man that has won this Talent Show more than
any anyone else. How'd you score at Jay School? Four
and a half? That's pretty low.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
I definitely was down the same lane that Eddie and
Coop was lane. No, No, it was. It was great,
even with not being able to hear all the nuances.
It was definitely quality quality playing, quality singing, but unfortunately
without hearing some of those nuances, definitely can't go too high.
(18:25):
I was kind of right there. Seven eight, So I
think I'm gonna have to follow what Coop said. Seven
point five, seven point five. All right, you guys are
all terrible other than Chris, so listen. It was hard
to understand the lyrics. It wasn't about the show.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So I'm gonna downgrade you some points on that you
play the guitar better than me, which is annoying. I
have no musical ability. My mom tried to teach me
the piano when I was a kid, and all I
did was I'd run across the keys with my finger around.
Oh dog you two. Yeah, I did that when I
was a kid. My mom was so annoyed. She spent
so many hours. So I am listen. It was it
was original, it was hard to hear, and it wasn't
(18:57):
about the show. I'm gonna give you a five. I'm
gonna give you a five.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
But he gave the news trumping guy.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Because that was listen. That was entertaining. I laughed at that. Mitchell,
keep listening, Mitchell, thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Probably is practiced for years and nights on guitar. Some
guy got board talent.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Much better for the show, Eddie, much better for the show.
All right, let's go to Pam. She's our next act.
She's in Seattle. Hello Pam, Welcome, Hey, how you doing, Pam.
Good to have you on here. Welcome to the show, Pam.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
Well, I just want to say, as a woman, I
totally dig that last act because I think that women
really love hearing the guitar so exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
That's what I'm saying. Man, these guys are ripping that guy,
and you ladies love that. You talking about Chris, Chris
lower than I gave him a five seven and a
half average. No, but Chris was ripping guitar guy.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That's what.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I didn't rip guitar guys. You did. You said you
played guitar better than me. Five No, I said, listen,
I said, women like guys that played the guitar. That's
all I said. And I disagree with Chris. Chris was
annoyed because in college you said there was the guitar
guy and all that. And there's a bunch of the
guitar guys in LA where we were, and I've been
a Seattle there's a bunch of guitar guys in Seattle too.
All right, Sorry, I've heard Wonderwall too many times. All right,
(20:13):
turn your mic off, Pam. Welcome. We get no women
call this show ever, So it's a very well, we
have like three that's it and mostly dudes. But welcome Pam.
And what are you going to be performing here? Pam?
What do we need to do?
Speaker 10 (20:26):
So you know, I was originally going to try to
earn some brown points with our illustrious panel. Shout out
to Jay Swoops, who I heard has moved away from
the PNW, But unfortunately all about the Benjamins just doesn't
translate very well to the viola. So I have another
song for you guys in honor of All Star Week
(20:50):
for the Seattle Mariners. Are you guys ready?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Absolutely, the floor is yours and here we are our
next act, Pam from Seattle. Yeahbelievable, damn in Seattle. Wow,
(21:40):
that was great, unreal. Okay, let's go to the judges
scorecards and Eddie, how did you score it? I love that.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I was not sure exactly if she was going to
sing or what she was gonna do, but busting out
the violin there, it was very nice.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
At the violin. What do you what do you call it? Pam, viola?
Get it right, Edie, it's embarrassing it come on, I
loved it.
Speaker 10 (22:04):
It was.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I love how it was topical because of the All
Star Game and all that. That was very cool, performed
very well. I'm gonna give her my highest score so far.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I'm gonna give her eight in eight from Eddie unbelievable
and ate uh Ja Cooper, how do you score it?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Cool?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I loved it. It sounded, it sounded really good. The quality.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
I don't know if it's just she just has a
better phone, but it translated well to the radio. Uh
tying it in, you know, making its sports It was great.
I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna give it. I'm
gonna go I'm gonna go nine.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No by our first nine. Pam, you got her first nine.
She got the first nine. Chris, I love the Beola
as someone who studied a little bit of classical music
and opera well in in college.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
I'm not humble about being here in sports song radio
after doing over night sports radio.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, I know, I know, I'm down to the gutter
with you.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
I know, I know. Don't need to rub it in.
But excellent choice in the viola clear over the air
on her phone, which is impressive. There the tune was
clearly identifiable. We were all kind of rocking out to
it in here. I'm I'm with Coop nine nine solid,
back to back dines.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Right now we go to the musician, Jay Scoop. Now,
she did suck up to you a little bit because
she mentioned the Pacific Northwest year old. It's not because
you don't know her, right, she's just I don't, I don't, okay.
But first yeah, first off, hey, Pam, alright, you're going
to Ukraine Ja school, come dock, okay.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
You're Second of all, did any of you feel like
transported into like a Ken Burns documentary, right.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yes, yes, yes, that's how it's great?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Man.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It was really like baseball and Civil War crossing.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Exactly, amazing, heartwarming, solid nine nine.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
All right, listen, Yola, it sounds foreign to me. The viola, yeah,
I know violin, the viola. But and she we could
hear it. It was sports related. It wasn't about our show,
but it was you hear that song. I love baseball?
You hear that song? And she did it wonderfully. We
could hear everything. She nailed it nine point five point five,
(24:24):
not Pam, you got a nine point five, Pam.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
It's gonna be tough to beat.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
All right, thank you, Pam.
Speaker 3 (24:29):

we've had some great acts so far. We're three acts in.
(25:26):
We've got some pre recorded acts that we'll get to
at some point, including a fan favorite, the Hey Mona

act right now, and we say hello to our friend
Chris who's listening to us in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hello Chris, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Hey man, how you doing. I just want to say
you've officially made it. That's a page turner of a
show tonight. I don't want to slow it down. It
reads about like Warren Peace. No no no no, no, no,
no, no no.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
No, this is I'm excited. Here you are, next actor.
It's a hard act to follow, Chris, because Pam really
knocked it out of the park there with her Viola.
She did a tremendous job. But you you're going next
and you're gonna do something a little different. Is that right, Chris.
I'm told you're doing something a little different than these
other acts.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
I'm kind of from the same university that you graduated
up cynicism, so I'm a stand up comedian. So we'll
see if we can turn this dulgrum of a summer
loan down, you know, starting with the the All Star
Game last night. I mean, talk about snooth the Paloza.
I'd rather watch Late in Seattle with with Eddie and
(27:01):
Netflix until.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
What do you say, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I'm good, thank you though.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Okay, Well, yeah, so I'm here in Tulsa, so we
getting not only all your small and misfits that you
don't want, We got the Tulsa Drillers, which is your
minor league team. Woo woo for that. But let me
say that baseball is really trying to jazz it up
a little bit with the with the new rules and whatnot.
But in Oakland, I gotta say, if if a wooden
(27:29):
back fellon Oakland Forest Stadium and nobody heard it, did
it really happen?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Ben yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't think it did.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Yeah, hey, are you like giving out a for effort?
How about a for awful? But I just don't like
what baseball is going. I think they're reverting back to
the racist roots. I mean, really, they're just making up
rules as they go.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I mean, all right, all right, thank you, Chris. Let's
go to the judge of scorecards. Eddie had your grade?
Chris is comedy routine. Here, we'll see what that was. Yes,
he was doing stand up comedy, Eddie. That was his act.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
There.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He's the top stand up comedian in so Oklaholma. By
the way, Yeah, he's the number one stand up comedian until.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Well again again, anyone that calls in and does the
act have my respect for.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You're stealing by I used that line the last several years.
You hate all these people.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Well, listening to Chris in Oklahoma with his I didn't
know if he was like delivering some sort of monologue.
I didn't I mean, if he was trying for commentary
or or a comedy act. I have to be honest,
I didn't even crack a smile with anything he had
to say. Yeah, I was I was actually longing for
the nose.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Trumpet guy to come back entertain.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
So, I'm gonna go to two.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
All right.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
You know, I see what he was trying to do,
trying to tie his act into current sports events, and
you know, this is a sports talk radio show.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
So I appreciate that. I'm gonna give it a four.
A four. Wow, that is a high score from group Chris.
How did you grade the comedy routine from Chris in
TULSL sit down comedy?
Speaker 8 (29:15):
So I caught him saying it was a stand up
comedy act at the start, and I'm glad I did
just so I knew where he was going because I
probably couldn't tell from the act itself. I will give
him this, and I believe I believe some you know,
critique should be fair and balanced. He did in spite
of us all just kind of sitting there in silence.
He kept thundering through so clearly, even though he knew
(29:37):
he was bombing the set. I hope he knew he
was bombing the set, he still managed to get some
more jokes out. Nevertheless, Uh, two and a.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Two and a half, all right, two and a half,
Jay Scoop, how did you grade the comedy routine here,
Jay scoop, Oh man, that was so painful.
Speaker 9 (29:53):
Like that reminded me of being on stage and you're
getting ready to start and then you see your guitarist
and his amp isn't working, and then you got to
like say something to the audience to try to make
it work. And I mean and then he was out
of breath for a moment there. I thought it was
going to be a cardiac Stanley moment.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I don't bring that up. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
So he was definitely giving it the effort. I'm going
two point five.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Two point five, all right, So here's the way I
saw it. Now, he's a fan of the show, so
I got to put some points in for that. Comedy
is very difficult to do, and I really appreciate the
great stand up comedy people. It's so hard, especially without
a live audience, to get reaction. And not a single
person here laughed, nobody played along. Yours truly included in that.
(30:40):
But the fact that he's a fan of the show,
he did not stop. He continued on. I'm going to
give him a minus three. That's on my scorecards. So congratulations, Chris,
you get a minus three on that. But thank you.
Thank you for participating in that. You'll get a little
ribbon right near your name. The Malarpalooza continues. We will
(31:03):
have many more acts to come throughout the overnight. Here
we are excited about that. Time. Now for the Insta
trivia and here we go. Can answer this on the
Twitter machine at Ben Mahler and we'll have more of
these ribvening acts here on the Talent Show. But here

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Malapaluza continues, but here's the insta trivia. Blank is the
only MLB All Star ever whose name has contained the
letters that spell the word all Star. That's the question.
What's the answer? Cowboy Killer going with Charlie Chaplin as
his answer. Who else you have? Malaprop Guy goes with
(32:41):
Lars Tals as his answer. H Page Down La t
La Cruz from Jordan in Ohio. Corey Korndog Snyder guests

Minnesota going with Ali Staire Altuve. That's his answer. Something
(33:29):
mccallis Starr from Rumors of the Ville, Rick Rude tossed
out by Calligan Tim that's his answer. Who else? We
have Don Zimmer from Robin Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
R A.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Dickey from Bubbsy that's his answer. Page Dan here. I
think that's enough. Do you have an answer, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Yes, it has to be dan Ugler.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Dan Uggla. It's a fine answer. Second basement for the
Marlins back in the day. That is incorrect. The correct answer.
William greis William Contracity. He was with the Braves last
year as an All Star, but he his name includes
all the letters that spell the word all star, William Contreras.
And he is now a catcher for the Milwaukee Brewers.
(34:13):
So Cooper had a pivot point here. We can do
Mallard of the third degree, or we can do another act.
What would you rather? Do you want to do in
their act? It's totally up to you. I find either way.
We have some pre recorded acts that we can do
right here, play on one of our our acts that
were submitted early, or we can do Mallard of the
third degree. Uh degree, All right, let's do it. Here
we go, it'smallar. How about that?
Speaker 3 (34:35):
To the third degree. This is one big gets grail.

Speaker 7 (34:56):
At When asked by the media about the Live Golf
PG situation, Adam Silver said the idea of a sovereign
wealth fund purchasing an NBA team is not gonna happen
on his watch. Quote for the foreseeable future, Ben, do
you think a sovereign wealth fund could infiltrate some of
our team sports?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yes. In fact, Adam Silver, he says, my majority owner.
But they call them governors because they're stupid. But it's
already happened. The Sovereign Wealth Fund, i believe, has purchased
five percent of the parent company of the Washington Wizards
and the Washington Capitals, so that they've already started the
(35:34):
process or process, and all these teams talk about, oh,
we're not gonna do this, We're not gonna do that.
Trust me. If the most money comes from the Saudi wealth,
they could buy every team. It's it's inevitable, it's going
to happen. If they want it to happen, they'll buy
the NFL. They can buy any team they want. They've
got seven hundred billion dollars to play with next.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Last season, the NFC South was the worst division in
the NFL, as the Bucks made the player with a
sub five hundred record. All four teams made changes to
their quarterback position in the offseason. Which team do you
think has the best shot of turning it around?
Speaker 3 (36:07):
All right?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
So the answer is none of the above. That is
a fertilizer division if you look at the NFC South.
But if you put a gun to my head, I
would call the police and I would say the New
Orleans Saints with Derek Carr, because typically Derek Carr is
fined for like seven or eight games, and then he
hits a wall and he falls in. There's like a
(36:29):
demon sinkhole that opens up and he falls into it.
But I can't go with Baker Mayfield. He's a hot mess. Tampa,
that's a disaster. Carolina is starting a rookie quarterback and
Atlanta's starting somebody I've never heard of, So that is
an outhouse division.
Speaker 7 (36:42):
Next, an unnamed NFL coordinator said that he believes Micah
Parsons will be the best edge rusher in the league
by next season. Oh, Ben, who do you think is
the best pass rusher in the league right now?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Edge rusher? Well, you think the usual suspect is that
Joey Bosa usually kills the ram as a guy on
the on the edge from time to time. Miles Garrett, TJ. Watt,
those are like the big three guys on that list,
making impact plays and whatnot. But Michaeh Parsons a good player,
and more importantly, he is a interesting cat the way
(37:16):
that he deals with the media and whatnot. So he's
good for our show playing for the Cowboys. He's young guy,
he'll be around a long time and being part of
the Cowboys means that you get your tires pumped up
a little bit more from the Dallas media and all that.
But the answer to her question is Joey Bosa, TJ. Watt,
and Miles Garrett. There it is Mallard of the third degree.
(37:37):
How did we do Koopa loop? Then you pass this edition.
That is a winner. You can put it on the bar. Yes,
and we say hello to Paul in Rhode Island, better
known as Red Breast. Paul, Hello, Paul, Hi ben Ma.
I'm not as good as you.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
You know why I call tonight?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
You want to be part of the mallor palooza.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
No, you know why I called the night because these
grunch uniforms were so disgusting that an old man from Brookline,
eighty seven year old man.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Okay, his name is.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Sashi Cats He said, Paully, who's that playing?
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Who's that?
Speaker 6 (38:29):
It's like, what the hell? What kind of grunch uniforms
of this?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
This is not the first time you did in my area?
You know, Yeah, all right, you're you're complaining. You're you're
complaining about the uniforms in the All Star Game. You
