Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name Bird two with the
round mound of gas baggery here in our number two
and Charles Barkley filling up the content machine yet again.
Barkley is saying that Ernie Johnson EJ is going to retire,
that he's not going to leave Turner Sports to join NBC.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That had been the rumor. Your thoughts on that?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Also, did the heat star Bam out of Bio get
a raw deal?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
He was not named as one of the All NBA.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Players by the voters, and thunder Guard shay Gyiogas Alexander was,
which means he's in line to become the first player
to earn at least eighty million dollars in one season.
Can you help me understand this? Eighty million over eighty
million one season. We'll talk about that. Who knows what else?
Right now here it is our number two. Well, I
(00:56):
don't know what kind of duck you like, but the
NBA apparently likes lame duck.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Welmeme.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
In the beginning of another hour of The Ben Mahler Show,
we are in the air everywhere, denizens, as we press
all the right buttons coast to coast, border the border
and beyond on the mast and tremendously powerful microphones of
(01:24):
fs are ammating live from the fest, the Yakfest as
we are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
We had like ten.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Thousand members of the Malard Militia that we're listening to
the members of the Malard Militia that we're listening to.
The afternoon show that I filled in on Yafemi g Man,
Alf Crank, Shuttle Frank, all those guys, ti Raq dot Com,
The Way Tire Buying Show B and our lead this
hour coming from pro bouncy Ball Broadcast World, the broadcast World.
(02:10):
We will get back to the Dallas Mavericks winning Game
one of the Western Finals in the final minutes. Say
we're down a back and forth game, but down about
three minutes to go in the game, they make a
little run, they win the game and so Dallas gets
home court advantage for the moment away from Minnesota. But
(02:30):
interesting story here in the trade papers. It's been reported
for a couple of weeks now, but it appears it's
going to be announced the NBA, possibly as soon as
later today, but likely by the weekend. The NBA is
moving on from Turner Sports. We are told that it
is going to be announced, likely this week this week
(02:53):
that the games will be a broadcast going forward on ESPN,
Amazon and b Now what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
That means no, da da da da da da da.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Goodbye to Inside the NBA, the pre eminent studio show
in American sports.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Let's be honest, all these shows blow.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
They're terrible. The only one that was any good was
on Turner and now that show is on life support.
One more season. They're not done yet. They got the
playoffs here, a couple more games in the Western Conference Finals,
and then one last lame dark season. So Charles Barkley
chimed in on all of this. He's not a couple
(03:37):
of interviews, not if he saw the latest one he did.
Maybe not so, sir, Charles. A subdued Charles Barkley. He
talked about all the people at Turner who are going
to lose their jobs. Of course, the yin to the
yang is there'll be a bunch of people that'll get
jobs at NBC. But he also mentioned that Ernie Johnson,
(04:00):
the host of Inside the NBA, that he will hang.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Up the IFB.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
He will be retiring soon. Now, Ernie didn't announce his retirement,
Barkley made it seem like that is going to happen
rather soon. He's not going to go hang out with
the peacock. So let us discuss the question. Charles Barkley
commenting about Ernie Johnson saying he will retire, He's not
going to leave the Joe to bring the Band of
Merry Men over to NBC. What are your thoughts on this?
(04:29):
So I've got the Staypuff, marshmallow Man, Butcher Shop, and
the Spider Verse, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a hard
o pregame show, which is what every other pregame show is.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Hard Oh hardo. Who wants that?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't want that? Maybe you want that. I don't
want that. Maybe you're the problem you want it. I
don't want that all right now? Number wh My first thought, bahumbug,
it does blow right, it does. If there's one thing,
(05:08):
this salvage, there's one thing the salvage and the big
money world of sports television, it would be that show
in a wide ocean as big as the mighty Pacific
of Manure. You've got this north star inside the NBA
and Ernie Johnson, I get it. He's setting his ways.
(05:30):
He's going to turn sixty eight years old later this year.
He's in the twilight of his broadcasting career. But EJ's
NIDO stat of a knight.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
How about this.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Ernie Johnson has been at Turner Sports since nineteen eighty nine.
My computer like brain tells me that's like thirty five
years or so.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That's a good run. And inside the NBA, I've got.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Again one year left At that point though, I was
thinking about this as I was walking into the studio
here inside the NBA, which is not as good with
Draymond Green, he sucks, but the other guys are good.
He's been on for some reason. I guess they gotta
get a current player on. Anyway, he should stick to
his little dumb podcast. But inside the NBA, one year left,
(06:15):
and when they go away, I will gare wrong to
you that inside the NBA becomes the stay Puff marshmallow Man.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It will be ghostly.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It is going to be that punchstone that will haunt
all other studio shows. It will become a broadcasting Poulter
guys that everything is judged against. Anytime you see a
pregame show in any sport that is good, to say, well,
it's good, but it's not as good. It's not as
good as what Barkley and those guys had at inside
(06:49):
the NBA. Now page two, we pivot from television to
the bag to the bag and we go bam on
a Bio basketball player for the Miami basketball team, and
they're not in the playoffs anymore. But bam out of
Baio was among the handful of name brand players who
got the shaft, or did he get the shaft? He
(07:10):
missed out on a chance at a much bigger paid
a Why Because the NBA announced the twenty twenty four
All NBA teams. I know it's always a big day
for you. They were revealed on social media.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Back on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And because bam out of Baio did not make even
the third team, he is.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Not eligible for the Supermax.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
So did bam out of Baio get a raw deal
from the all NBA voters as he was a key
figure in Miami's season this year?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So I'm gonna go no on this.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I saw some I don't want to say it was
a hullaballoo, but I saw some noise, some chatter about this,
and I'm gonna go know, I'm gonna go to the
butcher shop, Benny's butcher Shop.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And out of Bio.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
While he is a good player, he is a cut
below either the cut below the All NBA status. He
had a solid year. He averaged the double double. It
was around twenty points a game and ten rebounds a
game and shot the ball well, but not an All
NBA player. Not on my big board now speaking of
(08:19):
the All NBA and Bam out of Bio missing out.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Also Dearon Fox of the Sacramento Kings also did not
get voted to the All NBA. Now.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Luka Doncik and Shay Gilgas Alexander are the big winners
of the All NBA honors. Talking about having a good day,
Luca leads Dallas in the fourth quarter, outplays Kyrie Irving
and everyone else in the fourth quarter, leading the Mavericks
to the playoff win.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And earlier in the.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Day, Luka Doncik and Shay Yoga Gillos Alexander finding out
they were on the All NBA team, which means for Luca,
he is in line to get a super Max extension
that will pay him in the neighborhood in the neighborhood
of three hundred and forty six million dollars over five
(09:07):
years to dribble a basketball and shoot the basketball and
play eighty one dates a year and some extra games
in the playoffs. Now, Gylgas Alexander, though, that's where the
story is. Don't bury the lead, my man, all right,
we won't. So shay Yogas Alexander will make history if
he goes through. He has an opportunity to sign a
(09:30):
max extension super Max extension because of his All NBA status.
That is his second consecutive appearance on the first team
All NBA. So that means if he signs on the
dot line, he will become the first ballplayer to earn
at least eighty million dollars in one season. Yeah, now,
(09:56):
the year will be twenty thirty thirty one, so we've
got a few more years to go before that. But
when we get there, shay Gyogas Alexander, assuming he signs
this contract, his salary that year will be eighty one
point four million pesos. That's a lot of pasos. Let
me repeat that for those of you in the back
(10:17):
of the room. Thunder Guard shay Ylgas Alexander in line
in a very nice line with velvet ropes to become
the first player to earn at least eighty million dollars
in one season. Can you help me understand this? I
will help you understand this. I will get out my
audio telestrator.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
This is a. It is a. It's the g It's
the Golden Kanuck is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
And if you've seen that meme from the Spider verse,
the character from a Spider Man movie a few years
ago named Kingpin, you've probably seen it if you're on
social media and it's captioned the quote is booming or
business is booming. I think it's the quote on that
that mean that Spider versus meme Kingpin and life is good,
life is very good in the NBA. You mix in
(11:05):
though the devaluing of the dollar inflation, and you have
the perfect storm. Because shay Gilgas Alexander, he's not a
guy that moves in the am I wrong on this?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Does anyone say I gotta watch that.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Game tonight because I want to see what this guy
does I don't have. Even though he's been on the
All NBA team, I don't put him in that category.
I don't, and I don't think people are buying tickets
and looking at their the schedule on their phone is
that when is Oklahoma City coming in? I got to
see this Gilgas Alexander guy play. But all that doesn't matter.
(11:44):
He's not musty TV, but he's going to be the
Richie Rich of basketball. And I don't know about you.
If I had a chance to make eighty one million
dollars in an eighty two game season, you figure he's
going to miss at least one game. So eighty eighty
basically a million dollars plus a game after taxes, it's
about ten bucks. But nonetheless I would get whiplash trying
(12:07):
to run over to sign the deal. I mean, like,
where do I sign? Put me in, coach, I'm ready
to play. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd
like to comment on any of that, you can join us.
Also the NBA playoff game, which went to the Timberwolves
opponent the Mavericks Dallas getting it done in Minnesota, ruining
the party at the Target Center as the Mavericks get
(12:31):
home Court for the moment, whatever that's worth. It seems
travel by luxury chartered flights and they have police escorts.

music in. We have one song for every one of them.
Is one song?
Speaker 9 (15:24):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You're in one song? I think, yes, besides my intro.
Well that's just count but accounts to me not so much,
not so much.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
But if you want to send a song in, what
we'd love to have, and we have the Mallard Palooza.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I got to get a date on that.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I'll give you a date once I have a couple
of dates I'm looking at for the Mallet Palooza. It
is likely going to be in late July, most likely
late July this year. The Mallard Palooza, we might do
it earlier, but I'm thinking late July would be good.
Possibly late June, possibly late June. I'll get you a
date once I know the date. Late Night Drug tester says,
(16:02):
I am sure that Okase would be appointment viewing, But
who has the time with all the Oklahoma content coming

Who else do we have? Page down? We'll skip over
that one. Uh well, boy, do you guys think I
can read things on the air?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I cannot. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, I'll say a little blind Scott, Hello Blind Scott
in Boston.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Hey, Hey, Hey, what's up? Then I could probably make
it in late July. I have a girlfriend that works
for United Airlines, and you know she could take me
there for free.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You got you got to hook up?
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Yeah she yeah, yeah, I got I met her on Twitter. Actually,
I have a couple of girlfriends, like Medicare. I had
this fall like a few weeks ago, maybe like a
month ago. Medicare sent me this home health aide and
she came like three times and she was complaining about
her partner, and I offered to give her a massage.
And now when she shows up, me and her just
hook up and no home healthcare is happening whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Wow, this is a this is a big revelation line.
Scott would say, that's good. Heal a good home healthcare
that could be very home healthcare.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
I've been telling people if they that's how I'm doing,
and I say, you know, I'm actually on the top
of this is like the best I've ever done in
my life right now, Like I've never done better than
I've been doing, like in the past forty eight hours. Unbelievably. Yeah,
I'm unbelieva.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
We have.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I can't believe all these things are coming together. But
I'm going to talk about this Pacers series Indiana Pasage.
Who cares if Sean the hood guy is a Pacers
and he's like the only one he's not even from Indiana.
He should just take a seat because the Celtics own
the series. They're better than the Showtime Lakers, the Magic
Johnson Lakers, any NBA team that ever came. They take
on so much criticism from everybody in the media because
(17:47):
they're the best team to ever do it. You didn't
see the same criticism when Steph Curry when that team
made a run, because you know out there on the
West Coast people are his hardcore about sports. It's us
here in Boston. We have hard hitting takes here. Jason Tatum,
this guy's a joke. He sucks at basketball. Anybody that
comes out of Duke, they don't know how to play basketball.
He might as well play for the Indiana fever Man
(18:08):
because he plays like a girl. And that's how he's
been playing in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You know what, Haymakers, Blind Scott, I know what you're
trying to do here.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
You're trying You're trying to smoke out a Pacer fan
because you want to get into the octagon.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That's yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
You even have a pre style rat that I'm ready
to do with maybe Lorrain. I wanted to play me
some background music, but I want to bring up this guy.
I want to tell the Rain of this story. There
was this guy don Gold. He used to come to
the studio. His name was Donut don Gold. He was donuts.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yes, I remember that guy.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Yeah, you what you eat donuts? Nobody should be eating donuts,
so it is the worst thing you can eat.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
You know.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Coops already had three.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, Coops going through a dozen on the show.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
You better have some metabuse l after those donuts. Man,
you're gonna be like having some issues.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You know, we have some. I want to hear the rap,
That's what I want to hear the rap.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I did some background. But my
name is blind Scott. I'm from Boston. I like the
Boston Celtics without a doubt. We're going to the Garden
to win the championship. If you want to start with Boston,
you gotta get through the Celtics bloom and to get
down to the town.
Speaker 10 (19:19):
You gotta play against the Boston Celtics. And you need
to come to Boston because we got the fruit in
the garden and I'm gonna eat your mother of fruit
after the Celtics win the championship.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay, thank you, Scott, very interesting.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Phone call.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Stick to your day job. Yikes, let's say hello to boy. Uh,
let's go to Andrea. She'll class up the show a
little bit in the in the Bay area there in Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Hello Andrea, Yes you got the star charts Ash, She's
ready to go.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Hello, Hello, Ben? How are you?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
If I was any better, i'd be Scott, but not
blind Scott, not after that last phone call.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
No, no, no, Well let's blame it on the full moon,
my friend.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh is that right? Do we have any full moon situation?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I don't have a window. I'm not looking outside. There's
a full moon right now?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Wow?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
Yeah, yep, No, that's my job. I call in. I'm
the astrology ladies sports sorceress. And there is a full
moon three degrees Gemini Sagittarius waiting in the wings six
fifty four a m so six fifty four, so early
in the morning coming up is the full moon. And
(20:42):
it's known as a full flower moon because at the
end of May flowers start to be blooming. And you
know how we like the Farmer's Almonac.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yes, we love that book.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Yes, so it talks all about that. So there's a
lot of planets in Gemini. For your Gemini listeners out there,
we have the Sun in gem and I Jupiter and Gemini.
That's happening really soon. So uh yeah, basically, well, you know,
full moons are more intense and more emotional, little more zany.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, for sure, No, definitely. You have the lunar calendar
memorized at this point.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Yeah, that's a good thing to kind of memorize because
every month there's a full moon. So it's just really
good to know. But I liked when it talks about
the names of the moon, like the full flower moon,
and you know, so on, because we're inching closer towards summer.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, yeah, we're getting there before.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
You, so the full flower moon is nice to see that.
And again it's called the flower moon because that's when
a lot of the arrival of spring and a lot
of the flowers start blooming.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And you know, very good, So that's the that's where
we're at.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Accorder to the FUM Farmers Almanac, it also says the
Native Americans called it the budding moon, the egg laying moon,
and planting.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Moon, so they called it that as well. All right, well,
very good.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Oh yeah that's nice. Yeah, yeah, I have flower moon
and all the other ones as well, and it's good
for mind, body and spirit. Expanding your horizons, pursuing new adventures,
Sagittarius Gemini, curious, new ideas, new perspectives. So just good
(22:33):
to work with some new energy for the full moon.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
All right, well, very good, thank you, Andrew, I have
a wonderful night the rest of the night.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Enjoy the full moon. Their friend Andrea from the.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Bay Area virgo in service you Ben, all right there,
she goes, well, bring sexy back. That would be what
TV executives want.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So interesting story.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Here the people that small cable channel in Bristol, Connecticut,
I forget the name of it, but they haven't talked
a lot about the Indiana Pacers, mostly about the Celtics,
or just ignore the Pacers. So Tim Legler, who I'm
told is a broadcaster over there, he says that the
executives at his company told him the Indiana Pacers were
(23:20):
quote not sexy enough to cover intensely.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Let me repeat that.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
So Tim Legler, who works at ESPN, says the executives
at ESPN told him the Pacers were not sexy enough
to cover intensely.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
That's his quote.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Now I would challenge that with a different quote as
someone that has done monologues on the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I just mentioned the Oklahoma City thunder in a Malard monologue.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
There's a famous quote from an old TV chef that
pointed out, if done right, even a pancake everything has drama.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Even a pancake has drama. So if you really want.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
To guss up the Pacers and make them seem interesting,
you could do it. But the lazy way to do
it is to just talk about the Celtics and the
Lakers and the Cowboys and those teams and ignore everyone else. Now,
to be fair, we talk a lot about the Cowboys
and the glamour teams, but we also mix in the
other team.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
So I have to apologize to I forty, Ian Eke,
and Dave Hag on the X Machine there they all
we were talking about Royce White and they're all like, oh, yeah,
he's the Republican nominee for Senate in Minnesota. I'm like, no, no,
it's a different guy. Might be the same name, but
it's not the same guy. It turns out it's the
same guy.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Ce, Eddie.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
You see, you gotta believe the prop that guy Royce
white boy. Okay, interesting, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
What are his chances of winning any well, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
But the fact that he's the nominee for the Republican
Party there, I guess is pretty surprising for me.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
I'm not having been following his career. Maybe he's maybe
he's turned things around there, but he was quite the character,
so to speak when he was a basketball player.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, you know what I miss, Eddie?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Since Eddie's or since the Cooper is eating all these
donuts here? Remember the famous donuts SoundBite from hockey back
in the in the eighties.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Oh yeah, Donkharski eat another donut?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You fed pig?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, I wish we could find that that would be
that would be appropriate.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Drop here.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
I think it was a Jim Schanfeld, I think was
the coach of the Capitols. He was yelling at Don Koharski,
who was a referee. Was a little bit chubby, not
too bad.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But yeah, he said he I found the quote here, Eddie.
He says they were going back and forth. He says,
you won't coach another Sean Feld shot back, you fell
and you know it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
You know you fell. I didn't touch you.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You're gone, You're gone, Koharski said, And I hope it's
on tape. Schanfeldt says, good because you fell, you fat pig.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Have another donut. I don't.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
I don't know what the result of that was. I
know the incident, I've seen the video of it, but
I don't know like what happened as a result.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It was the eighties. They probably went and got donuts,
probably Jelly Donuts or something like that, and they called
it to day. That's fun, Eddie. But that's that's not
the fun fact, Eddie. Not the fun fact. This is
the fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Oh yeah, it's the fun fact time. And our fun
fact comes from baseball. Baseball been very good to me.
So the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers again. Congratulations to them.
It's like their little World Series here. But to tell
Marte of Arizona has a twenty one game hitting streak.
(26:56):
But it is interesting to note, and this is our
fun fact, that even though that is the longest hitting
streak in baseball this season, twenty one games in a row,
his batting average has actually gone down during the hitting streak.
Because most of the games he only gets one hit
and so his batting average has gone down by eighteen points.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Kateel Marte during the streak. He's betting only two.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Seventy for the Arizona baseball team during the streak, and
it's a career best for him. But he his batting
average has gone down from three h nine to two
ninety one. That is the fun fact of the hour.
And hey, are you ready for.

Speaker 12 (27:58):
Man, I wanted to touch up my story. When I
think of this chick, I imagine making a video with
her with me singing don't worry baby by the beach
boys watching washing white walls while she's in a red
summer dress. Now, who's the guy who took a cheap,
cheap shot at you?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yes, this guy David Bassay. He's a Dodger. He hosts
the Dodger postgame show in l a And he took
a shot at me. He unloaded on me, and I
did not request this cheap shot. That was that was
uncalled for. And so I I responded, what do you
have to say to him?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Tony?
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Fuck that guy?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Can we send that?
Speaker 8 (28:46):
Can we can we edit that and send that?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Well?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I asked the question, Eddie answer, he did not beat around,
did not.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Tony's one of the great college But nobody hears who
listens to the live show? I said, nobody.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Most people do not hear the greatness of Tony in
the Bay. They just do not get the greatness of
Tony in the Bay. Man Alive, all right is the
Ben Malors show. So we have this is very exciting
real estate fodder, real estate fodder as moving on up show. Hey,
(29:29):
oh tonnay of the Dwyer's ending up in the real
estate section of your favorite website. As Otani has purchased
a new LA area home. The only reason I'm bringing
this up is to highlight my immense failure as a broadcaster.
My immense failure as a broadcaster. When I started in
(29:53):
LA radio, within the same we were part of like
the same rookie class, give or take, I mean the
same era. There was a guy named Ryan Seacrest who
was doing afternoons at ninety eight seven.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I don't know what happened to him.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
There was a guy doing sports at k Rock named
Jimmy Kimmel. And then there was another guy on that
old Kevin and Bean morning show that no longer exists
named Adam Carolla. Right, so, and then then you had
me and so I bring this up because sho Heel
Tani just purchased a home where seven point eight million
(30:34):
dollars from Adam Carolla, he's.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Gonna be living. If you're familiar with La the up
in the hills there La Kanada, Flintridge, So that's where Otani.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Is going to be living in the home. I know
you're concerned about Otani's home. It says highlights include a kitchen,
custom tabentry, indoor.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Outdoor living amenities. They have a movie theater, a sauna,
a gymnasium.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You don't say, a basketball court so Otani can practice
to join the Clippers. Seven thousand, three hundred and twenty
seven square foot home.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
What a pain in the ass that must be to clean.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
It's spread throughout five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms.
They have a balcony and of course a hot tub.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
So pretty big.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Now they say it's a twenty minute drive away from
Dodger Stadium, but that's only at one o'clock in the morning.
Is it a twenty minute drive to Dodgers Tam, It's
about thirteen miles, which will take as the crow.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Flies, I don't know, two hours depending on the traffic. Yeah,
I guess so Tani has said bye bye to the OC.
He was living in Irvine back in the day.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
But I guess he's It's a long drive from there
to get to Rodger stadiums say is going to live
in in La, the Greater LA area.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Now we have Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Speaking of show, hey Otani, that is our insta trivia
shoe Ootani.
Speaker 2 (32:11):

Speaker 1 (33:30):
That's a baseball player for the Dodgers batting three point
fifty four to thirteen home runs and thirteen stolen bases
this season. The only other players with those numbers in
their first fifty games of a season since nineteen ninety
are Mookie Betts, Larry Walker and Blank? That is the question?
(33:54):
And what is the answer the sea? Does anyone in
the Mallard militia know the answer? The great Unwashed?
Speaker 2 (34:01):
You can answer by the way that people say, well,
how do I answer?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
It's kind of obbous on x at Ben Mallard's.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Voices sound like that when they say that.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah, they sound just I went in my head when
I read them. That's what it sounds like, just like that.
I me it's kind of obboust. I'm reading answers off

Speaker 8 (35:56):
I'm gonna go with former Boston Red Sox legendary outfielder
Ellis Burks.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Is it Ellis Burks? No big brick answer?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Otani is in a class with Mookie Bets, Larry Walker
and the answer. Brian Roberts of OH five Orioles, Brian
Roberts sliver him.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
To the third.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Degree exrightly about that.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
This is one big vent gets grilled goopball.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
I think he went to North Carolina. Don't know why.
I know that he did.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
He went to South Carolina and North Carolina, as I
did a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Go ahead there, Cooplelo, thank you. Ben.
Speaker 11 (36:39):
Justin Field said in an interview on Tuesday that he
isn't just going to hand over the starting job to
Russell Wilson, saying I definitely don't have the mindset of
sitting all year.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Ben. Do you think Field starts any games for the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Well, the good news is he's not at a crossroads.
He'll be able to walk up and down the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
While he holds the clipboard.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
But of course, at some point Justin Fields is going
to play either A Russell Wilson plays the way he
has in Denver recently, and then he gets benched or
B Russell Wilson ends up getting hurt. I don't see
a scenario where Russell Wilson is amazing from beginning it.
He might have a couple of games at Pittsburgh, but
not all year. So yeah, Fields will get an opportunity,
(37:17):
unless he's so bad they release him in training camp.
Speaker 11 (37:19):
Next Ben, the Phillies have the best record in baseball,
having won thirty six games already and have a six
or seven game lead over the Braves in the NL East. Ben,
Are they really this good or have they benefited from
an easy schedule?
Speaker 1 (37:31):
So it has yet to be determined. They've not crossed
the rubicon yet. We are not at that point yet
where we can say for sure the Phillies are good.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
They're a very talented team. They have some big name players.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
They're starting to play some better teams now, so we'll
have a better read on the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Inconclusive is the answer right now.
Speaker 11 (37:50):
Next, Lamar Jackson is intentionally down to two hundred and
five pounds a season, shedding ten pounds off his weight
from last year. The thought is that Jackson will be
even faster, more agile. Do you think this weight loss
will have an impact?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
This is one of those stories every year I ranted
about this the other night. Coop athlete doesn't play as
well as they think they should, even tho Lamar seemed
to play pretty well last year, then they have to
lose weight or gain weight.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
It's the yo yo, the yo yo. You go up,
you go down. I don't think it's going to impact
him at all. How did we do, Kobe? He passed
this edition. That is a win, just like a Bear
Claude bonut, a win
Hello and welcome. It's our name Bird two with the
round mound of gas baggery here in our number two
and Charles Barkley filling up the content machine yet again.
Barkley is saying that Ernie Johnson EJ is going to retire,
that he's not going to leave Turner Sports to join NBC.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That had been the rumor. Your thoughts on that?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Also, did the heat star Bam out of Bio get
a raw deal?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
He was not named as one of the All NBA.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Players by the voters, and thunder Guard shay Gyiogas Alexander was,
which means he's in line to become the first player
to earn at least eighty million dollars in one season.
Can you help me understand this? Eighty million over eighty
million one season. We'll talk about that. Who knows what else?
Right now here it is our number two. Well, I
(00:56):
don't know what kind of duck you like, but the
NBA apparently likes lame duck.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Welmeme.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
In the beginning of another hour of The Ben Mahler Show,
we are in the air everywhere, denizens, as we press

the members of the Malard Militia that we're listening to.
The afternoon show that I filled in on Yafemi g Man,
Alf Crank, Shuttle Frank, all those guys, ti Raq dot Com,
The Way Tire Buying Show B and our lead this
hour coming from pro bouncy Ball Broadcast World, the broadcast World.
(02:10):
We will get back to the Dallas Mavericks winning Game
one of the Western Finals in the final minutes. Say
we're down a back and forth game, but down about
three minutes to go in the game, they make a
little run, they win the game and so Dallas gets
home court advantage for the moment away from Minnesota. But
(02:30):
interesting story here in the trade papers. It's been reported
for a couple of weeks now, but it appears it's
going to be announced the NBA, possibly as soon as
later today, but likely by the weekend. The NBA is
moving on from Turner Sports. We are told that it
is going to be announced, likely this week this week
(02:53):
that the games will be a broadcast going forward on ESPN,
Amazon and b Now what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
That means no, da da da da da da da.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Goodbye to Inside the NBA, the pre eminent studio show
in American sports.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Let's be honest, all these shows blow.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
They're terrible. The only one that was any good was
on Turner and now that show is on life support.
One more season. They're not done yet. They got the
playoffs here, a couple more games in the Western Conference Finals,
and then one last lame dark season. So Charles Barkley
chimed in on all of this. He's not a couple
(03:37):
of interviews, not if he saw the latest one he did.
Maybe not so, sir, Charles. A subdued Charles Barkley. He
talked about all the people at Turner who are going
to lose their jobs. Of course, the yin to the
yang is there'll be a bunch of people that'll get
jobs at NBC. But he also mentioned that Ernie Johnson,
(04:00):
the host of Inside the NBA, that he will hang.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Up the IFB.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
He will be retiring soon. Now, Ernie didn't announce his retirement,
Barkley made it seem like that is going to happen
rather soon. He's not going to go hang out with
the peacock. So let us discuss the question. Charles Barkley
commenting about Ernie Johnson saying he will retire, He's not
going to leave the Joe to bring the Band of
Merry Men over to NBC. What are your thoughts on this?
(04:29):
So I've got the Staypuff, marshmallow Man, Butcher Shop, and
the Spider Verse, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a hard
o pregame show, which is what every other pregame show is.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Hard Oh hardo. Who wants that?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't want that? Maybe you want that. I don't
want that. Maybe you're the problem you want it. I
don't want that all right now? Number wh My first thought, bahumbug,
it does blow right, it does. If there's one thing,
(05:08):
this salvage, there's one thing the salvage and the big
money world of sports television, it would be that show
in a wide ocean as big as the mighty Pacific
of Manure. You've got this north star inside the NBA
and Ernie Johnson, I get it. He's setting his ways.
(05:30):
He's going to turn sixty eight years old later this year.
He's in the twilight of his broadcasting career. But EJ's
NIDO stat of a knight.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
How about this.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Ernie Johnson has been at Turner Sports since nineteen eighty nine.
My computer like brain tells me that's like thirty five
years or so.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That's a good run. And inside the NBA, I've got.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Again one year left At that point though, I was
thinking about this as I was walking into the studio
here inside the NBA, which is not as good with
Draymond Green, he sucks, but the other guys are good.
He's been on for some reason. I guess they gotta
get a current player on. Anyway, he should stick to
his little dumb podcast. But inside the NBA, one year left,
(06:15):
and when they go away, I will gare wrong to
you that inside the NBA becomes the stay Puff marshmallow Man.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It will be ghostly.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It is going to be that punchstone that will haunt
all other studio shows. It will become a broadcasting Poulter
guys that everything is judged against. Anytime you see a
pregame show in any sport that is good, to say, well,
it's good, but it's not as good. It's not as
good as what Barkley and those guys had at inside
(06:49):
the NBA. Now page two, we pivot from television to
the bag to the bag and we go bam on
a Bio basketball player for the Miami basketball team, and
they're not in the playoffs anymore. But bam out of
Baio was among the handful of name brand players who
got the shaft, or did he get the shaft? He
(07:10):
missed out on a chance at a much bigger paid
a Why Because the NBA announced the twenty twenty four
All NBA teams. I know it's always a big day
for you. They were revealed on social media.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Back on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And because bam out of Baio did not make even
the third team, he is.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Not eligible for the Supermax.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
So did bam out of Baio get a raw deal
from the all NBA voters as he was a key
figure in Miami's season this year?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So I'm gonna go no on this.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I saw some I don't want to say it was
a hullaballoo, but I saw some noise, some chatter about this,
and I'm gonna go know, I'm gonna go to the
butcher shop, Benny's butcher Shop.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And out of Bio.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
While he is a good player, he is a cut
below either the cut below the All NBA status. He
had a solid year. He averaged the double double. It
was around twenty points a game and ten rebounds a
game and shot the ball well, but not an All
NBA player. Not on my big board now speaking of
(08:19):
the All NBA and Bam out of Bio missing out.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Also Dearon Fox of the Sacramento Kings also did not
get voted to the All NBA. Now.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Luka Doncik and Shay Gilgas Alexander are the big winners
of the All NBA honors. Talking about having a good day,
Luca leads Dallas in the fourth quarter, outplays Kyrie Irving
and everyone else in the fourth quarter, leading the Mavericks
to the playoff win.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And earlier in the.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Day, Luka Doncik and Shay Yoga Gillos Alexander finding out
they were on the All NBA team, which means for Luca,
he is in line to get a super Max extension
that will pay him in the neighborhood in the neighborhood
of three hundred and forty six million dollars over five
(09:07):
years to dribble a basketball and shoot the basketball and
play eighty one dates a year and some extra games
in the playoffs. Now, Gylgas Alexander, though, that's where the
story is. Don't bury the lead, my man, all right,
we won't. So shay Yogas Alexander will make history if
he goes through. He has an opportunity to sign a
(09:30):
max extension super Max extension because of his All NBA status.
That is his second consecutive appearance on the first team
All NBA. So that means if he signs on the
dot line, he will become the first ballplayer to earn
at least eighty million dollars in one season. Yeah, now,
(09:56):
the year will be twenty thirty thirty one, so we've
got a few more years to go before that. But
when we get there, shay Gyogas Alexander, assuming he signs
this contract, his salary that year will be eighty one
point four million pesos. That's a lot of pasos. Let
me repeat that for those of you in the back
(10:17):
of the room. Thunder Guard shay Ylgas Alexander in line
in a very nice line with velvet ropes to become
the first player to earn at least eighty million dollars
in one season. Can you help me understand this? I
will help you understand this. I will get out my
audio telestrator.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
This is a. It is a. It's the g It's
the Golden Kanuck is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
And if you've seen that meme from the Spider verse,
the character from a Spider Man movie a few years
ago named Kingpin, you've probably seen it if you're on
social media and it's captioned the quote is booming or
business is booming. I think it's the quote on that
that mean that Spider versus meme Kingpin and life is good,
life is very good in the NBA. You mix in
(11:05):
though the devaluing of the dollar inflation, and you have
the perfect storm. Because shay Gilgas Alexander, he's not a
guy that moves in the am I wrong on this?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Does anyone say I gotta watch that.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Game tonight because I want to see what this guy
does I don't have. Even though he's been on the
All NBA team, I don't put him in that category.
I don't, and I don't think people are buying tickets
and looking at their the schedule on their phone is
that when is Oklahoma City coming in? I got to
see this Gilgas Alexander guy play. But all that doesn't matter.
(11:44):
He's not musty TV, but he's going to be the
Richie Rich of basketball. And I don't know about you.
If I had a chance to make eighty one million
dollars in an eighty two game season, you figure he's
going to miss at least one game. So eighty eighty
basically a million dollars plus a game after taxes, it's
about ten bucks. But nonetheless I would get whiplash trying
(12:07):
to run over to sign the deal. I mean, like,
where do I sign? Put me in, coach, I'm ready
to play. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd
like to comment on any of that, you can join us.
Also the NBA playoff game, which went to the Timberwolves
opponent the Mavericks Dallas getting it done in Minnesota, ruining
the party at the Target Center as the Mavericks get
(12:31):
home Court for the moment, whatever that's worth. It seems

say classic Mallard tune.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
If you want to send a song in, we'd love
new music. We have many talented people that have sent
music in. We have one song for every one of them.
Is one song?
Speaker 9 (15:24):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You're in one song? I think, yes, besides my intro.
Well that's just count but accounts to me not so much,
not so much.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
But if you want to send a song in, what
we'd love to have, and we have the Mallard Palooza.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I got to get a date on that.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I'll give you a date once I have a couple
of dates I'm looking at for the Mallet Palooza. It
is likely going to be in late July, most likely
late July this year. The Mallard Palooza, we might do
it earlier, but I'm thinking late July would be good.
Possibly late June, possibly late June. I'll get you a
date once I know the date. Late Night Drug tester says,
(16:02):
I am sure that Okase would be appointment viewing, But
who has the time with all the Oklahoma content coming
from the Plank Show. Chris Plain, That's that's what he says.
Who else do we have? Page down? We'll skip over
that one. Uh well, boy, do you guys think I
can read things on the air?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I cannot. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, I'll say a little blind Scott, Hello Blind Scott
in Boston.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Hey, Hey, Hey, what's up? Then I could probably make
it in late July. I have a girlfriend that works
for United Airlines, and you know she could take me
there for free.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You got you got to hook up?
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Yeah she yeah, yeah, I got I met her on Twitter. Actually,
I have a couple of girlfriends, like Medicare. I had
this fall like a few weeks ago, maybe like a
month ago. Medicare sent me this home health aide and
she came like three times and she was complaining about
her partner, and I offered to give her a massage.
And now when she shows up, me and her just
hook up and no home healthcare is happening whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Wow, this is a this is a big revelation line.
Scott would say, that's good. Heal a good home healthcare
that could be very home healthcare.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
I've been telling people if they that's how I'm doing,
and I say, you know, I'm actually on the top
of this is like the best I've ever done in
my life right now, Like I've never done better than
I've been doing, like in the past forty eight hours. Unbelievably. Yeah,
I'm unbelieva.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
We have.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I can't believe all these things are coming together. But
I'm going to talk about this Pacers series Indiana Pasage.
Who cares if Sean the hood guy is a Pacers
and he's like the only one he's not even from Indiana.
He should just take a seat because the Celtics own
the series. They're better than the Showtime Lakers, the Magic
Johnson Lakers, any NBA team that ever came. They take
on so much criticism from everybody in the media because
(17:47):
they're the best team to ever do it. You didn't
see the same criticism when Steph Curry when that team
made a run, because you know out there on the
West Coast people are his hardcore about sports. It's us
here in Boston. We have hard hitting takes here. Jason Tatum,
this guy's a joke. He sucks at basketball. Anybody that
comes out of Duke, they don't know how to play basketball.
He might as well play for the Indiana fever Man
(18:08):
because he plays like a girl. And that's how he's
been playing in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You know what, Haymakers, Blind Scott, I know what you're
trying to do here.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
You're trying You're trying to smoke out a Pacer fan
because you want to get into the octagon.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That's yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
You even have a pre style rat that I'm ready
to do with maybe Lorrain. I wanted to play me
some background music, but I want to bring up this guy.
I want to tell the Rain of this story. There
was this guy don Gold. He used to come to
the studio. His name was Donut don Gold. He was donuts.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yes, I remember that guy.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Yeah, you what you eat donuts? Nobody should be eating donuts,
so it is the worst thing you can eat.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
You know.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Coops already had three.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, Coops going through a dozen on the show.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
You better have some metabuse l after those donuts. Man,
you're gonna be like having some issues.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You know, we have some. I want to hear the rap,
That's what I want to hear the rap.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I did some background. But my
name is blind Scott. I'm from Boston. I like the
Boston Celtics without a doubt. We're going to the Garden
to win the championship. If you want to start with Boston,
you gotta get through the Celtics bloom and to get
down to the town.
Speaker 10 (19:19):
You gotta play against the Boston Celtics. And you need
to come to Boston because we got the fruit in
the garden and I'm gonna eat your mother of fruit
after the Celtics win the championship.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay, thank you, Scott, very interesting.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Phone call.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Stick to your day job. Yikes, let's say hello to boy. Uh,
let's go to Andrea. She'll class up the show a
little bit in the in the Bay area there in Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Hello Andrea, Yes you got the star charts Ash, She's
ready to go.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Hello, Hello, Ben? How are you?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
If I was any better, i'd be Scott, but not
blind Scott, not after that last phone call.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
No, no, no, Well let's blame it on the full moon,
my friend.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh is that right? Do we have any full moon situation?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I don't have a window. I'm not looking outside. There's
a full moon right now?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Wow?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
Yeah, yep, No, that's my job. I call in. I'm
the astrology ladies sports sorceress. And there is a full
moon three degrees Gemini Sagittarius waiting in the wings six
fifty four a m so six fifty four, so early
in the morning coming up is the full moon. And
(20:42):
it's known as a full flower moon because at the
end of May flowers start to be blooming. And you
know how we like the Farmer's Almonac.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yes, we love that book.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Yes, so it talks all about that. So there's a
lot of planets in Gemini. For your Gemini listeners out there,
we have the Sun in gem and I Jupiter and Gemini.
That's happening really soon. So uh yeah, basically, well, you know,
full moons are more intense and more emotional, little more zany.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, for sure, No, definitely. You have the lunar calendar
memorized at this point.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Yeah, that's a good thing to kind of memorize because
every month there's a full moon. So it's just really
good to know. But I liked when it talks about
the names of the moon, like the full flower moon,
and you know, so on, because we're inching closer towards summer.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, yeah, we're getting there before.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
You, so the full flower moon is nice to see that.
And again it's called the flower moon because that's when
a lot of the arrival of spring and a lot
of the flowers start blooming.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And you know, very good, So that's the that's where
we're at.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Accorder to the FUM Farmers Almanac, it also says the
Native Americans called it the budding moon, the egg laying moon,
and planting.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Moon, so they called it that as well. All right, well,
very good.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Oh yeah that's nice. Yeah, yeah, I have flower moon
and all the other ones as well, and it's good
for mind, body and spirit. Expanding your horizons, pursuing new adventures,
Sagittarius Gemini, curious, new ideas, new perspectives. So just good
(22:33):
to work with some new energy for the full moon.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
All right, well, very good, thank you, Andrew, I have
a wonderful night the rest of the night.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Enjoy the full moon. Their friend Andrea from the.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Bay Area virgo in service you Ben, all right there,
she goes, well, bring sexy back. That would be what
TV executives want.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So interesting story.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Here the people that small cable channel in Bristol, Connecticut,
I forget the name of it, but they haven't talked
a lot about the Indiana Pacers, mostly about the Celtics,
or just ignore the Pacers. So Tim Legler, who I'm
told is a broadcaster over there, he says that the
executives at his company told him the Indiana Pacers were
(23:20):
quote not sexy enough to cover intensely.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Let me repeat that.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
So Tim Legler, who works at ESPN, says the executives
at ESPN told him the Pacers were not sexy enough
to cover intensely.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
That's his quote.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Now I would challenge that with a different quote as
someone that has done monologues on the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I just mentioned the Oklahoma City thunder in a Malard monologue.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
There's a famous quote from an old TV chef that
pointed out, if done right, even a pancake everything has drama.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Even a pancake has drama. So if you really want.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
To guss up the Pacers and make them seem interesting,
you could do it. But the lazy way to do
it is to just talk about the Celtics and the
Lakers and the Cowboys and those teams and ignore everyone else. Now,
to be fair, we talk a lot about the Cowboys
and the glamour teams, but we also mix in the
other team.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
So I have to apologize to I forty, Ian Eke,
and Dave Hag on the X Machine there they all
we were talking about Royce White and they're all like, oh, yeah,
he's the Republican nominee for Senate in Minnesota. I'm like, no, no,
it's a different guy. Might be the same name, but
it's not the same guy. It turns out it's the
same guy.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Ce, Eddie.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
You see, you gotta believe the prop that guy Royce
white boy. Okay, interesting, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
What are his chances of winning any well, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
But the fact that he's the nominee for the Republican
Party there, I guess is pretty surprising for me.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
I'm not having been following his career. Maybe he's maybe
he's turned things around there, but he was quite the character,
so to speak when he was a basketball player.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, you know what I miss, Eddie?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Since Eddie's or since the Cooper is eating all these
donuts here? Remember the famous donuts SoundBite from hockey back
in the in the eighties.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Oh yeah, Donkharski eat another donut?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You fed pig?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, I wish we could find that that would be
that would be appropriate.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Drop here.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
I think it was a Jim Schanfeld, I think was
the coach of the Capitols. He was yelling at Don Koharski,
who was a referee. Was a little bit chubby, not
too bad.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But yeah, he said he I found the quote here, Eddie.
He says they were going back and forth. He says,
you won't coach another Sean Feld shot back, you fell
and you know it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
You know you fell. I didn't touch you.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You're gone, You're gone, Koharski said, And I hope it's
on tape. Schanfeldt says, good because you fell, you fat pig.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Have another donut. I don't.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
I don't know what the result of that was. I
know the incident, I've seen the video of it, but
I don't know like what happened as a result.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It was the eighties. They probably went and got donuts,
probably Jelly Donuts or something like that, and they called
it to day. That's fun, Eddie. But that's that's not
the fun fact, Eddie. Not the fun fact. This is
the fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Oh yeah, it's the fun fact time. And our fun
fact comes from baseball. Baseball been very good to me.
So the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers again. Congratulations to them.
It's like their little World Series here. But to tell
Marte of Arizona has a twenty one game hitting streak.
(26:56):
But it is interesting to note, and this is our
fun fact, that even though that is the longest hitting
streak in baseball this season, twenty one games in a row,
his batting average has actually gone down during the hitting streak.
Because most of the games he only gets one hit
and so his batting average has gone down by eighteen points.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Kateel Marte during the streak. He's betting only two.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Seventy for the Arizona baseball team during the streak, and
it's a career best for him. But he his batting
average has gone down from three h nine to two
ninety one. That is the fun fact of the hour.
And hey, are you ready for.

Speaker 12 (27:58):
Man, I wanted to touch up my story. When I
think of this chick, I imagine making a video with
her with me singing don't worry baby by the beach
boys watching washing white walls while she's in a red
summer dress. Now, who's the guy who took a cheap,
cheap shot at you?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yes, this guy David Bassay. He's a Dodger. He hosts
the Dodger postgame show in l a And he took
a shot at me. He unloaded on me, and I
did not request this cheap shot. That was that was
uncalled for. And so I I responded, what do you
have to say to him?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Tony?
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Fuck that guy?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Can we send that?
Speaker 8 (28:46):
Can we can we edit that and send that?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Well?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I asked the question, Eddie answer, he did not beat around,
did not.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Tony's one of the great college But nobody hears who
listens to the live show? I said, nobody.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Most people do not hear the greatness of Tony in
the Bay. They just do not get the greatness of
Tony in the Bay. Man Alive, all right is the
Ben Malors show. So we have this is very exciting
real estate fodder, real estate fodder as moving on up show. Hey,
(29:29):
oh tonnay of the Dwyer's ending up in the real
estate section of your favorite website. As Otani has purchased
a new LA area home. The only reason I'm bringing
this up is to highlight my immense failure as a broadcaster.
My immense failure as a broadcaster. When I started in
(29:53):
LA radio, within the same we were part of like
the same rookie class, give or take, I mean the
same era. There was a guy named Ryan Seacrest who
was doing afternoons at ninety eight seven.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I don't know what happened to him.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
There was a guy doing sports at k Rock named
Jimmy Kimmel. And then there was another guy on that
old Kevin and Bean morning show that no longer exists
named Adam Carolla. Right, so, and then then you had
me and so I bring this up because sho Heel
Tani just purchased a home where seven point eight million
(30:34):
dollars from Adam Carolla, he's.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Gonna be living. If you're familiar with La the up
in the hills there La Kanada, Flintridge, So that's where Otani.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Is going to be living in the home. I know
you're concerned about Otani's home. It says highlights include a kitchen,
custom tabentry, indoor.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Outdoor living amenities. They have a movie theater, a sauna,
a gymnasium.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You don't say, a basketball court so Otani can practice
to join the Clippers. Seven thousand, three hundred and twenty
seven square foot home.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
What a pain in the ass that must be to clean.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
It's spread throughout five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms.
They have a balcony and of course a hot tub.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
So pretty big.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Now they say it's a twenty minute drive away from
Dodger Stadium, but that's only at one o'clock in the morning.
Is it a twenty minute drive to Dodgers Tam, It's
about thirteen miles, which will take as the crow.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Flies, I don't know, two hours depending on the traffic. Yeah,
I guess so Tani has said bye bye to the OC.
He was living in Irvine back in the day.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
But I guess he's It's a long drive from there
to get to Rodger stadiums say is going to live
in in La, the Greater LA area.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Now we have Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (32:06):

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Degree exrightly about that.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
This is one big vent gets grilled goopball.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
I think he went to North Carolina. Don't know why.
I know that he did.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
He went to South Carolina and North Carolina, as I
did a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Go ahead there, Cooplelo, thank you. Ben.
Speaker 11 (36:39):
Justin Field said in an interview on Tuesday that he
isn't just going to hand over the starting job to
Russell Wilson, saying I definitely don't have the mindset of
sitting all year.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Ben. Do you think Field starts any games for the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Well, the good news is he's not at a crossroads.
He'll be able to walk up and down the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
While he holds the clipboard.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
But of course, at some point Justin Fields is going
to play either A Russell Wilson plays the way he
has in Denver recently, and then he gets benched or
B Russell Wilson ends up getting hurt. I don't see
a scenario where Russell Wilson is amazing from beginning it.
He might have a couple of games at Pittsburgh, but
not all year. So yeah, Fields will get an opportunity,
(37:17):
unless he's so bad they release him in training camp.
Speaker 11 (37:19):
Next Ben, the Phillies have the best record in baseball,
having won thirty six games already and have a six
or seven game lead over the Braves in the NL East. Ben,
Are they really this good or have they benefited from
an easy schedule?
Speaker 1 (37:31):
So it has yet to be determined. They've not crossed
the rubicon yet. We are not at that point yet
where we can say for sure the Phillies are good.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
They're a very talented team. They have some big name players.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
They're starting to play some better teams now, so we'll
have a better read on the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Inconclusive is the answer right now.
Speaker 11 (37:50):
Next, Lamar Jackson is intentionally down to two hundred and
five pounds a season, shedding ten pounds off his weight
from last year. The thought is that Jackson will be
even faster, more agile. Do you think this weight loss
will have an impact?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
This is one of those stories every year I ranted
about this the other night. Coop athlete doesn't play as
well as they think they should, even tho Lamar seemed
to play pretty well last year, then they have to
lose weight or gain weight.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
It's the yo yo, the yo yo. You go up,
you go down. I don't think it's going to impact
him at all. How did we do, Kobe? He passed
this edition. That is a win, just like a Bear
Claude bonut, a win
