Hello and welcome. It's our numb Bird two, our two
Ready to go, the Original Recipe podcast, and we stick
with the hits. Play the hit, small Man, Play the
hits right, well, play the hits. Calm down, Everything's fine here.
So we start out with the New York Knickerbockers as
(00:21):
they absolutely undressed the Pacers at Madison Square Garden. Where
did things go wrong for the Indiana basketball team? We
will discuss that. Also, our reports that mavstar Luka Doncik
is hiding an injury something or nothing. And is there
(00:42):
anything to the Suns considering a Kevin Durant to the
heat trade that has been tossed about. We'll go there
as well. All of what's coming your way right now here.
It is our number three, the brick that clicks. Wel guy.
In the beginning of another hour the Benmlor Show.

this hour coming from the Empire State, the Empire City
in the Empire State. From above Penn Station in the
middle of the concrete jungle, the belly of the beast.
There in Manhattan, the visiting Pacers as they were in
(02:12):
town for a playdate Game number five, Big Game five.
They're trying to take a bite out of the big
Apple against the Knickerbockers. Were you watching, Well, you definitely
didn't miss anything. If you missed this, you didn't know
in terms of competition, in terms of the gag factor.
Somebody missing a shot late, No, that didn't happen. There
(02:34):
was no need to worry about missing a shot late.
The game was over way way earlier than that. So,
as we like to say, don't worry. We watched so
you would not have to. It's our good Mitzvah of
the day. And Jalen Brunson, he didn't put up double Nichols.
He put double four's up forty four points for Jalen Brunson,
(02:55):
and the Knicks dismembered the Pacers one one to ninety one.
That is a thirty point win. How often in the
NBA playoffs is a team lost by thirty plus and
then come back and one by thirty or more. Well,
it's just happened in the back to back games in
this series. Eastern Conference semi Finals, Game five goes to
New York, so they have a three to two lead
(03:18):
in the second round playoff series. Let us discuss the
question where did things go wrong for the Pacers. So
I've got stage name, Harry Potter and travel agent, and
we'll combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a pratfall, which is what the Pacers had.
(03:40):
They had a big pratfall for everyone to see. Actually
thought this game would be somewhat close. Bad job by me,
But anyway, Number one where things went wrong for the
Pacers the moment they went through TSA. The moment they
(04:02):
said can you raise their hands in the air and
stand there so we can take an X ray scan
of your junk? That is where things went wrong for
the Indiana basketball team. They were apparently staying at a
hostel in Manhattan. There they had cockroaches and vermin all
over the place of that wowsers. Now, if you're going
to single out one particular person, it has to be
(04:24):
Tyrese Halliburton. That's the person, because halle Burton was not
part of the plan for Indiana. He was terrible. His
stage name, if he was a professional wrestler would be
el Stinko, as he played like El Stinko. Finished with
a lethargic thirteen points, five assists, two rebounds, to turnovers,
(04:47):
a non factor. He was there, but wasn't helpful in
any way. Not a dynamic playmerker. He has been that guy,
We've seen him be that guy, but he wasn't in
this game. And that's a trend that we saw on
this night because Anthony Edwards also was a non factor
for Minnesota in their game against Denver. But Tyre's Haliburton
(05:10):
is not as good as Anthony Edwards. But he was
just kind of dragging along. Did he have some bad
street food before the game. Maybe he went to one
of those carts and they gave him a hot dog
that was all nasty. I don't know, but unable to
push the pace. And zombie like is the way I
would describe the way Tyreese Haliburton was playing most of
(05:30):
that game. In general, there was just a fog over
the Indiana basketball team. And how is this series looking now?
After five games? Five games? We know New York has
the lead, But after five games the series is looking
the word is I will use the word blurry. It's
looking a little blurry because we do head back to
(05:51):
the Hoosier State in Indiana. We know they like home cooking,
we know that. And these teams are carbon copies of
each other. So far in this series, they've been carbon copies.
They played very well at home, and they stink when
they go on the road. And the New York players.
I kept reading stories about how injured the Knicks are
(06:14):
and how messed up they are, and Tom Thibodeau is
the devil incarnate and he's running the players like a
drill sergeant, like he's some kind of despotic leader into
the ground. And then I watched the Knicks go out
at home against the Pacers. They look fine. Jaylen Brunson, boys,
he's got one leg. He didn't look like it looked fine,
played very well, but now I promise you this. I
(06:37):
don't know a lot, but I do know we will
get a game seven back at the Mecca, the world's
most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. There will be a
game seven. So I'm marking down right now in Penn.
Not in Pen's in Penn. I am writing down. I mean,
get my pen, right, my pen somewhere here, all right
there it is, here's I found my pain. I'm writing
(06:58):
down in Penn that the win will go to Indiana
in game six. And I'm never wrong about these, never
wrong about these. All right now, turning the page on that,
we go to another series tied up at two too.
There's a trend. It's almost like this is all planned.
It's preordained. Dallas and Oklahoma City tied up to two
(07:18):
Western semi finals. The mainstream basketball media I took some
of their content. They've been debating whether or not the
Luca Donzik is healthy. They're biting their fingernails, oh no,
balancing hope and fear and the nagging knee injury as
a source of much conjecture from the basketball media. The
(07:38):
implication rather obvious that Luka is covering up and the
Mavericks are covering something up even though he wouldn't admit
to it. There's something going on, So question are the reports?
Are the reports the MAVs star Luka Doncik is hiding
an injury? Is this something or nothing? Is this something
(08:02):
or nothing that he's hiding an injury? So it is something.
It is something that is tremendously annoying. Makes me want
to puke in my mouth. That's what that is. Okay,
It just Luca has sucked at a time you cannot
suck in a couple of these games, mainly the last
(08:22):
game in particular, where he had amazing stats filling up categories,
but not in terms of helping the Mavericks win the
final five and a half minutes. But rather than just
say hey, he took up a side hustle as a freemason,
rather than just say that that you again sucked at
a time you cannot suck. Instead they go the NBA media.
(08:44):
They go to their Harry Potter Book of Spells, paid
seventy seven. How to candy coat any crap bag performance
in the playoffs? Have you noticed am I the only one?
I'm really in saying I must be the only one
that notices the NBA media. Anytime a star player throws
out a dud, it's never that they just played bad. Well,
it's because they're hurt. That's why they put shut up,
(09:08):
shut up, stop. I mean, what's going on with that?
And as we have known over the years, there there
is a difference, right, there's a difference between playing hurt
and when you're actually injured and you're supposed to in
playoff games. You're playoffs, you're supposed to play when you're hurt.
That that happens quite often. If you're injured, you're not
(09:31):
supposed to play. So if Luca's injured, that's fine, he
shouldn't be playing if he's hurt, you know, suck it up, Buttercup,
rub some dirt on it there and what are we
gonna give this guy a purple heart for playing with
a with a sore knee. Bravery in action, Luca Dontrich
My god, what a dumbbo Anyway, final point, We now
(09:53):
turn to the gossip wheel, always a fun thing to
talk about. This is what will fuel the conversation once
these playoff games. A trade rumor started by a washed
up former NFL player, of all people, bouncing around the
echo chamber. It's come to my attention that it involves
the Phoenix basketball team, Kevin Durant telling a fledgling podcaster
(10:17):
that he would have a have no problem, coote, have
no problem coming down to Miami, Miami, Miami, if it
made sense, not the end of that. That's weasel terminology.
If it made sense, what makes sense to you might
not make sense to me. So that, of course was
the kerosene on top of the barbecue that ignited this story.
(10:40):
KD wants to play in South Beach. That chatter, chatter, chatter,
chatter went everywhere. So let's discuss the question thumbs up
or thumbs down. Is there anything to the Suns being
a legitimate possibility for Kevin Durant to send him to
the Heat. That the Sons would send Durant to the
Heat is thumbs up for thumbs down. So I'm gonna
(11:02):
go thumbs up that there's something to this, So I'm
gonna go thumbs up on this. It is on brand
for Durant, whether it's the Heat or a mystery team
that happens to have a lot of wins and a
lot of glamor to them. You have to say that
Durant is more likely than not if he has the
opportunity to finagle his way out of Arizona, he will
(11:25):
do it. So it's on brand. This is in his
DNA as a player. We've watched it over the years.
It's the soundtrack is the Johnny Cash Classic. I've been
everywhere man since he was born in DC, and maybe
I missed a couple of cities here, But as a
basketball player, Kevin Durant has played high school or above DC, Maryland, Virginia, Austin, Texas, Seattle,
(11:55):
Oklahoma City, Oakland, Brooklyn, and Phoenix. And he ain't done yet.
He's still got a couple of years left in the tank.
And so when times get tough for Kevin Durant, he
gets going in terms of leaving wherever he is going
to another team. And Katie loves to hit the panic button.
(12:15):
He knows how to contact via text his travel agent
and enter the transfer portal. And you know he'd love
to do it. I love to do it again because
that Sun's team's a little broken. Didn't work out. They
fired their coach already, Frank Vogel paying him for the
next four years to do nothing. It is the Ben
Mahler Show. If you're like to be part, you can
(12:36):
join us. Speak easy rules are in effect. We are
also available on X at Ben Mahler and we'd like
to remind you doing a job here at Fox Sports Radio,
you are in the running for D one coaching jobs.
If Doug Gottlieb can get a D one coaching job
(13:00):
at Wisconsin Green Bay, then I think any of us
here an the entire lineup. I loved what Boso, the
district Attorney, has said, though he said Doug Gottley's hire
will be great for Fox Sports Radio. Boso said, I
cannot wait until he hires blind Emmett and weed Man
Hippie as his assistant. What he should do is hire
Andrea because she's got all the star charts and all that,
(13:21):
and she can keep track everything and tell him when
the times will be tough and when the times will
be better. It's got all that information. All the presidents,
men and women, all the presidents men and women will
get to that, and we will do it next.

Why would you do that? Oh? Now you hung up?
There you go like coward?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Not there? What the hell was that?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I used to think he was a good callerade.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Yeah, past tense, Lorraine.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Would you like to explain what that was? Do you
have any well?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
I thought he was trying to show off his singing skills.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And then they have it in the system there before
you were here, he's saying for he's a jolly good fellow.
For he's a jolly good fellow, which no one can
and that was him. It's in the system. What he
did there, what he just did is terrible. Let's go
to Mason Millennial, who is in northern California. Hello, Mason
(18:13):
the Millennial.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Hey Man, Tony there sounded like he was high on fentanyl,
like the thousands of bums I see here every day.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
But I don't know what drug he was on. I
don't know that I would go fentanyl, but possibly, who knows.
I don't think he lives in the Tenderloin district. But
he was driving around, so that's a positive.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Okay, Well, you better be careful man. But I heard
he had a good trip over there in the Carolina.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yes, I thought maybe Mason the Millennial would make the
trip to hang at the South Carolina Meeting. Yeah, why not? Beautiful.
You see the whole country, man, it's a big, giant country.
You gotta go out and see the country.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
I know, I know, I do it.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
For me to see those parts of the country that
you would never really consider like glossy or whatever, and
check it out. But I heard you mentioned in the
Bay Area, so you and Eddie to have.
Speaker 8 (19:12):
All y'all need to make the pilgrimage up here.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Well, I don't know about that. I mean then Eddie
my I don't think Coop's gonna do it. I think
Eddie wild were in northern California, he said, the Bay area.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
But if we do the pilgrimage journey, we must go
by horseback.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
It's good idea. If you have any horses, you have
a horse power.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
I don't have any horses, but I'm sure we can
find some.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Someone can give us a horse. I will take a horse.
I'll that be a good bit. I'll take a horse
from La to San Francisco and our friend Alam to Lou.
It sounds like Mason Millennial alam to Lou might host
us at his bar.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
Oh yeah, that would be cool. I definitely call upo that.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
Actually, I'm planning a Bay Area trip before the end
of the year.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You are, yes, there you go if to line up
with your schedule there, Coop, you have to figure out
it's gonna work out for the rest of us to
show up.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Yeah, and his house they're in a long beach or wherever.
He should just live in a recreational vehicle like Harbach.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
If he wants. My brother's got a basement and he
lives in Appleton, which is just adjacent to Green Bay.
So and I'm willing My brother hasn't given the green
light on this, but I'll give it a yellow light
if gott leaves interested good neighborhood. There's like a school
across the street where my brother lives, and you can
move right in there. And then you got to pay rent.
(20:35):
It's not free. You gotta pay rent. But it's a
nice little neighborhood. And there's a there's a culver Is
not that far away, which is a great restaurant.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Hey, it sounds a great deal. I'm going to see
the Evil Empire, Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
The Doyers, the Doyers who owned the Bay. I didn't
know there were that many Dodger fans in northern California.
I had no idea. Shock.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
Yeah, well, I'm gonna be sitting right behind the Dodgers.
Hopefully I'll be heckling Otani with some gambling propaganda. Hopefully
I don't get my skull battered in those sun Dogs
are fans?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Oh like that?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yere five. That's such an old take. That was like
a fifteen year old take. Not only the Dodger fans
have beat anyone up, but at least ten years, right,
maybe five years, five.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Years, maybe not an opponent stadium.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
But I'm happens now?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Did you see I was? I was seeing the interpreter
for Otani who said he was going to plead guilty.
Pled not guilty to bank and tax fraud because I'm.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Going to have to learn to say not guilty in Japanese.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah yeah, but Otani's the interpreter. I guess that former
interpreter he pled not guilty. And now the reason he
pled not guilty is because his attorney likely told him
how much jail time he was going to get without
a plea deal. So if they work out a plea deal,
he'll get hardly any jail time. But if he just
said I did it, I'm guilty, which he kind of
did anyway through people, it's a lot different situation. I
(22:06):
thank you Mason, But before I forget, I was thinking
a bunch of people. I'm very bad with names. Ken Listener,
Ken who I met. He's from Columbia, South Carolina, and
he had some funny shirts, had a Gamecock shirt, he
had a stepbrother shirt. He gave us a bunch of stuff.
And I wanted to thank Ken because he said, you
didn't say my name, and I didn't, you know, he
(22:29):
wasn't an intentional but the hat I had on last
night was actually from the hoodie and the Blowfish minor
league team that he had to hook me up with.
So so thank you Ken. He listens he's like Dick
and Dayton. He said he's kind of like semi retired.
I guess he is retired and he just listened to
the podcast, but he used to listen to the live
(22:50):
show and now, but he showed up. He drove all
the way across South Carolina to come hang out with us.
And I was very polite, very kind of him to do.
He did not have to do that. All right again,
next our Queen of Hearts will have that. You can
send your questions in. I see a bunch of questions
coming in for that. You see me in Chicago, says
my guy Tony in the Bay Area. Great song? What
(23:12):
are you smoking? You see me? If you think that
was a great song? The hell was that? Anyway, we'll
press on all the presidents, men and women will go
down that road well backed up as well. Kids say
the darness things. But right now, let's get you caught
up on everything going on in Lely overnight and not
jo Daddy Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
By the way, have we mentioned a possible Malor meet
up in Vegas? We talked about that at all.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I've been asked by listeners to do a mal Of
meet and greet in Vegas. We do not have an
establishment though. We have to fight an establishment though, and
I will go to Vegas at any.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
Odd I've been told that our friend in Vegas can
can make that happen.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Anybody. Yeah, all right, well, let's let's try to get
a date.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
And then then I tried to push it a bit further,
and I was like, we, like, we should do a
remote out there, because if there's any place where it
makes sense for our show to do remote, because the argument,
you know, for management noise is like, oh, we can't
send you there because it's the middle of the night
and there's nobody around, and what would be the point. Yeah,
but Vegas never sleeps. There would be people walking around
(24:22):
when we're on the air. Is there a more depressing
place though than a casino at like.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Four in the morning.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Well, we're only on until three.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
That's a good point, Vegas time. We're only on soil three.
All right, Well, listen, I'd love to do it. Let's
make Vegas happen.
Speaker 10 (24:37):
Then it's perfect because you know at three o'clock that's
when everybody's all nice and uh.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
They're sauced. Yes, now, I do know this happened a
few times where I've sat in the casino waiting for
somebody to come down from the room around one o'clock
in the morning. You know who's on the prowl at
one o'clock in the morning, coop at the casinos working ladies, Yes,
professional women. I was like, when I was on my eve,
when I was younger, and I had women like flirting
(25:04):
with I. Wow, I must be attractive all of a
sudden start coming. They had other ulterior motives. Yeah, in fact,
then you told him I working radio, and they ran off.
I sat in a coffee shop in Vegas one time
in the casino working on my website back when I
had my website, my gossip site, and I had like
(25:25):
five women approached me while I was working. It was
a wild Be.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I'm not sure if you're going to bring this up
or not, but did you see Tom Brady apparently as
having second thoughts about the roast that he did. I
was talking on some podcast about the roast, and he
said that in hindsight, although he had a good time
and he liked being made fun of, I'm sure he
liked the millions of dollars he was paid as well,
though he didn't bring that up. He said that he
was disappointed when he thought about it. As far as
(25:56):
the effect it would have on his children, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
So he says it's a learning moment for him as
a parent. Ben, and he would not do it again. Though,
he would not do it again. I've done it once though,
did he really do it again? No, it's a one
and done situation.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I will address this later on Eddie, because that was
outrageous commentary by Tom Brady, and he's appealing to stupid people.
I know when people love some fame issue statements, you
know that certain statements are directed to idiots, and Brady
was talking to the idiots amongst us. So anybody half
a brain would be like, oh, that's a load of crap.
(26:33):
That's a complete nonsense. Anyway, it is the Ben Malor Show.
As we continue on through these overnight hours. Coming up
later on, we will have Malor to the third degree.
We look forward to that. Let's say hello to Sean
the Hood Guy. Hello, Sean the Hood Guy. By the way,

Safety runs First dot Com. A fan favorite, a man
that we've met, he's been in studio here, Sean the
(27:16):
hood guy.
Speaker 11 (27:16):
Hello, Sean, Hey, what's going on, hommie. I don't have
any bet on horses. I'm rather bet on the dog
racers at the fair.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
The dog dog that's an out dadn't take there. The
dog racist that dog dog. Well, I think the only
say is dog races is West Virginia.
Speaker 11 (27:30):
I think I had one of the county fair in
the in the Pomona area a couple of years ago,
but a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I bet that's been thirty years about that a couple
of years ago. No, I'm telling you that the dog
racing has been out like we used to have out
lowed ever we had Jack the judge from Bradenton, Florida,
used to go to the dog track and that stopped
years ago. Also, I think it's West Virginia, that's it.
I don't think there's any active dog tracks in the country.
(27:56):
That's a that's a crying shame. It's not right.
Speaker 11 (28:00):
They think they took it away from him. But hey, man,
I see you back in the hood because you kind
of disappeared on us after the Clippers disappeared.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
You know, now, I was here. I didn't hide. I
was here, I know, but you wasn't.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
It wasn't no parade down Prairie or King Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well we'll wait, and we want to go to Inglewood's
where we want to go to the hood in Inglewood
is where we want to go. That's this is the
city of Champions. That's where the Rams won the Super
Bowl a couple of years ago. So why not.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
Yeah, the stadium was right there on Prairie, wasn't. No,
wasn't no parade down Prairie. So hey, we we ain't
gonna talk about that though.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But you know the Pacers, man, oh that's right, you're
a pacer guy. Hey, of course you probably showed more
effort watching the game than they did on the court.
In the in the fourth quart of that.
Speaker 11 (28:38):
Kid, whoa man? Because you know what, though, man, I
tell you, like this a bitch is playing more better
than the start. It seemed like because they come in
the game with more energy and it's like the starters
they're they're just a good lead. But then they just
take their foot off the gas and just let one
guy from the Knicks take over the game.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So I don't know that one guy is pretty pretty
good Jalen Brunson. He's been amazing. He's putting up Walt
Frazier numbers.
Speaker 11 (29:03):
And I bet the Mavericks kicking themself in the butt
for letting him go too, So you know how that goes.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
So you know, they wanted to see him prove it,
and he has proven it, right, Remember he played well
when Luca was hurt for the Mavericks, and even I
was like, you know, I'm never wrong about these things.
Sean the hood gad, but I was skeptical.
Speaker 11 (29:19):
Yeah, he proved it, but they still got rid of
him though. That wasn't right.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
But I don't think he proved it like he did
it one year. You got to do it more than
just a you know, half a season, which is I remember.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember Brunson for about half
the year, and he had some big playoff games where
he played well. You know, those guys usually burn out,
they don't, they don't continue to go higher and hire
and Brunton's gone way pass. I mentioned this in a
(29:43):
monologue maybe a couple of weeks ago, but Jalen Brunst
is better as a nick than Carmelo Anthony. And they
had a ticker tape parade in New York for Carmelo
when he came over from the Nuggets years ago.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
Yeah, I think he is playing better than Mellow because
Melo he wasn't. He wasn't consistent every game anyway. So
I just see the series going seven games, man, But.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (30:03):
They got to take it. They got to get at
least one game.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
It's going. It's going seven games. I guaranteed it. I
put the Mallord rubber stamp on it. Shawn the hood guy.
That's a seven game series, Pacers and Knicks. And when
I come in here, I think game seven on Sunday.
Am I right on that? Game seven will be on Sunday.
I believe I'm correct on that. So I'll come in
here and break it down.
Speaker 11 (30:21):
If we lose, I'll be calling up taking my medicine
because I know you're gonna rub it in.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
So they know a lot of us love to bash
the Pacers.
Speaker 11 (30:28):
You know, I'm the only Pacer fan in the world
in the LA.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Same like, So you know you see that guy it
was I think it was Game three in Indianapolis and
they had some fan behind the Knicks bench had a
sign up. He said, the Hicks versus the Knicks. Isn't
that a throwback that's in the nineties, That that term
goes back to the nineties, right, I think it does.
Speaker 11 (30:46):
That is that's that is the nineties. So you know,
but you got to you gotta get some of those
guys that irritate you behind the bench. By do you
think when we was playing Milwaukee, your boy threw that
ball and hit that fan in the face with the ball.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Oh, Patrick Bell, he's a glue guy. He needed he
needed to glue the ball to his hand. Though he
kept throwing the ball at that the fans there.
Speaker 11 (31:05):
And now you suspend it before games. But next seed,
well you kind of watch what you do sometimes, but I.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Have to call it in you and man, you better
keep throwing the football with your your wife and your
kids there because the Steelers might need a quarterback. I
think they will by week seven, they'll need a quarterback.
Speaker 11 (31:21):
Coming back to the studio. So even saying all right.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
All right, all right, I will I thank you. There
you go, Sean the hood guy checking did he just
invite himself back to the studio. I think I think
he did. What It's fine? I mean, sorry, we're in
the neighborhood, come hang out with us. So yeah, what's
the price of admission? That is it food? What is
it something? Uh?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
No, food?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
You have usually food, but it can't be opened. It
has to be Eddie and Coop do not like their
their food that's already been opened. They don't want that. Lorena,
I think it's okay with She's no, that is the
I don't care. Yeah Cooper, Yeah, Coop's the one who
doesn't care. Okay, all right, very good. So the President's
(32:06):
men and women. This is an interesting tale. So there's
a trial going on. It seems like every week there's
a trial for a former President Trump. And the big
revelation that came out of the latest story that I
read on this trial is that while president in the
(32:27):
White House, President Trump had a close contact list that
included while he was in the White House, Bill Belichick,
Tom Brady, and Serena Williams, who goofed I've got how
about that? This came out in the Stormy Daniels trial,
which is going on this week. But it was revealed
(32:51):
that while he was there, and everyone tries to downplay
it because the certain media types freak out anytime Trump's
name comes up. But they they said in the trial
that he had a relationship that continue did not stop
with Brady and and even though Brady, if I remember correctly,
(33:13):
Brady who said, well, I was speaking with Trump and
then I didn't. And Belichick, I think he declined the
Presidential Medal of Freedom, which Trump was going to have. Anyway,
these guys all publicly were like, we're not into it,
but according to this trial, they were all hanging you know,
not hanging out, but they were in close, close proximity.
(33:34):
So and he also President Trump close friends with Randy Levine,
the president of the Yankees, was in his inner circle
of sporting people. Anyway, is the Ben Mahler Show. We
are going to have mallor to the third degree. We'll
get to that time. Now for the instant trivia, we'll
go to baseball. The Atlanta Braves Matt Olson has played
(33:54):
four hundred and ninety seven consecutive games. That streak pretty long,
but Blank has the longest streak of games played since
the year two thousand. Again, the Braves, Matt Olsen has
played four hundred ninety seven consecutive games. Blank has the
longest streak of games played since two thousand. That's the
insta tribuat the answer.

Time now for the install trivia the Atlanta Braves. Matt
Olson has played four hundred and ninety seven consecutive games.
That goes back to May of twenty twenty one. Blank
has the longest streak of games games played since the
year two thousand. That is the question, what is the answer.
Let's see does anyone know the answer? With Mallard of
the third degree warming up in mere seconds here Barry
(35:10):
Bonds guests by mister Luciano, Mooky Wilson the Miracle Mookie
Wilson from Art Puffin Fat sal Guess by Rod the
Ambassador of Bakersfield. He says, it's about time. Who else
do we have? Ray Lewis, who is forty nine today
from the Late Night Drug Tester Mike Fetters, although I
forty ian called them Mark Fetters. Who else do we have?
(35:33):
Page Down Vagabond backstop, Junior Ortiz from Bay City Tony
bad News, Barrett from the King Rory Eddie, What say you?
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Eddie Odd's former Angels red Ass outfielder Darren Erstad.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Darren Erstadd's a good name. No, that's incorrect. It's also
that Prince Fielder. Guess by Matt the Warrior Raider Fan
the correct answer Miguel Tahana back in eight seven. Now
here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here
we go here we how about that? To the third degree?
This is one big gets great? All right, Coop the loop?
(36:12):
All right, Ben.
Speaker 10 (36:13):
There are only a couple of teams in the Al
with a worse record than the Houston Astros. We discussed
this earlier. Only a few teams in all of baseball
with the worst record. Despite this, the GM says he
can't predict any scenario where the Astros sell it the deadline.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Ben, are you buying that? I am buying it. And
here's why nobody wants that trash out of Houston, right.
Altuve and Bregman are tainted. They're dirty, they're dirty, rotten cheeters, Coop.
Nobody wants them, and the other guys are stiffs on
that team. So in this case, I actually believe him.
Speaker 10 (36:43):
Next, Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton continues to work out
away from his team facility as he looks to get
a reworked contract with a pay raise. He's requested to trade,
but the Broncos don't plan on doing so. Ben, how
do you think this turns out?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
I think they'll trade him because they have the salary.
They'll say they have no money. You know, they can
come up with money, and they'll end up trading him
for like a fifth round draft now, and then you'll
complain and you'll whine and all that. And next recent.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
Report made claims that the Jets made legitimate attempts to
hire someone who would run the show on offense over
Nathaniel Hackett. Hackett would still have had the offensive coording
to their title, but would essentially have been replaced.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Ben, Where do you think this report came from?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
So? I think this came from someone on the Robert
Sala coaching somebody close to Robert Sala because they wanted
to listen. We wanted somebody else, but Aaron Rodgers wanted
Nathaniel Hackett the boob to continue. How did we do
kop you fail this? It is it's a win for me.
That is a win for me, Lorena said, I want
(37:42):
and that's a win. Thank you, Loraina for the win.
I appreciate that. Very kind of you to
