Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb Bert. Two.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Report out of the Delaware Valley says the sixers or
windows shopping and eyeing Lebron James, but would he actually
play in Philadelphia? Would Lebron actually play in Philadelphia? And
why is Hawk star Trey Young taking shrapnel on the
NBA rumor mill.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
The trade market of the NBA. We'll talk about that.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Also, a report over the weekend saying that teams have
been warned that Bronni James, Gronnie Bronni, the spawn of
Lebron won't.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Do the Gilie not interested in that.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
We'll talk about that and more right now, give it
up for our number two looking for the King or
any king. Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mallor Show. We are in the air everywhere

Speaker 1 (01:51):
This hour from the grape Line.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
NBA not all that great conversation points far as the
games are concerned. Conference finals have been a dud. They
sell competition. We have not gotten that, at least in
terms of each team winning games Indiana and Minnesota or
on life support. Pacers facing their last supper in the
Eastern Conference Finals on Monday.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Night and the.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Western Conference Finals that should be over on Tuesday, unless
unless Mavericks start futzing around playing with their food. We'll
see what happens with that. But as the NBA playoffs
ramp up, although it doesn't seem like it, the ac
of cool gossip is starting to crank up as well.
The speculation room working overtime. For example, the latest on

(02:39):
the self titled.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
King James Lebron.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Lebron James, I know you're very concerned about where a
forty year old, almost forty year old athlete is going
to end up.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
That's the most pressing concern you have in your life. Well,
you've come to the right place.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
So Lebron James was revealed by his agent is going
to opt out of his contract with the Lakekers later
this summer and will enter the transfer portal.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
He will be a free agent.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Now keep in mind, from a financial standpoint, it makes
sense for Lebron to opt out, even if he's planning
on staying in La La Land, because he can get
more money. But we're hearing that the Sixers are one
of the latest teams that has entered the chat and
are said to be considering a run at Lebron James.
Of course, there are multiple teams that are lining up

(03:27):
to take a flyer on that stiff Bronni James to
try to convince Lebron to come to their team. So
the Sixers, though, are considering several impact players. They're trying
to find someone, anyone that can be a number two
to Joel eNB They tried James Harden, that didn't work.
They had Ben Simmons, He's the Aussie muffet. He can't play,

(03:51):
he's a weak sauce. So they're trying to find somebody
who could be that number two option and Philadelphia can
go on a run in the playoffs. So let us
discuss the question the Sixers ports over the weekend, saying
that the Sixers are window shopping Lebron James. Would he
play in Philadelphia? Would Lebron play in Philadelphia? So I
am shaking my head. You can't see me, but I'm

(04:13):
shaking my head.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
No.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And if I keep shaking my head, no, I'm gonna
get a headache and I'm gonna get dizzy. So I'm
not gonna keep shaking my head.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
No.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
But I've got miniature horses down range and French and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make the Baba Ganoosh, We're gonna make the
baba ganous.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
So number wa.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
So if you look at the track record of Lebron,
because typically the track record tells you what's going to happen,
I don't guarantee it's gonna happen, but it gives you
a pretty good indicator of what's going to happen. So
Lebron has played in Cleveland, He's from Akron, so that's
geographically desirable. Played in my Lavina Loca and La La Land.

(05:05):
Those are what's known in basketball parlance as safe spaces
on the professional sports map.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Lebron is used to being swooned all over.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yes, right, this massage Lebron, that's what's happened. Everywhere's gone.
Absolutely that does not happen in Philly.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
It will not happen so known as the of course
the city of brother of Love.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
We have great listeners in Philadelphia, but that's a place
for their athletes does not always go so well. And
when riddled me this batman, when has Lebron been willing
to take a back seat to anybody? The idea that
Lebron would go to Philadelphia and be a number two
option to Joel Embiid is farcical.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's poppycock.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's not gonna happen, right, And Lebron spends much of
his time ver klemt. He's hypercent, even though he's in
places where they kisses dairy air like Miami La, you know,
Cleveland back in the day. But he would need around
the clock access Lebron if he played in Philadelphia to

(06:14):
an emotional support.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Miniature horse.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Gotta get one of those miniature horses for Lebron because
he does have faulty wiring. Things would get very chippy,
very fast. As a talk show host, I would love it.
I fully rubber stamp Lebron going to a place like Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
No more, mister.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Nice guy in Philly, man man. Would that be a
bad fit, But I would love to see it. It's
much more realistic to see Lebron go to a place
like Arizona, the Valley of the Sun. There's certain places. Now,
you go to Florida because you got Ponce delyone. But
if you're in the West and you want to retire,
a lot of people go to Arizona.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You go hang out and hang out in the area
of the Great Golfing. If Bron's a golfer there, it's
close enough to La you can get back.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
It's a short flight. Until they have a team in Vegas.
That's a good option. Now page two to the swap
meet we go again. This a by pride, this mal
monologue a byproduct by the conference finals being a total dud.
Another day and another report on the trade speculation machine

(07:19):
about Trey Young and his absolute lack of popularity.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Now, Trey Young has a lot of accolades.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
If you go to his basketball reference page, he's had
a lot of accomplishments in his career, all Star appearances,
things like that, but Atlanta sucked at a time you
cannot suck, and they're said to be looking to shake
it up, and it's said that.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
The Hawks are looking to unload either Trey Young and
or and or Dejonte Murray.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
But the speculation is that among rival NBA teams looking
to acquire a player from Atlanta, Dejentte Murray is more
of a palatable option for those teams looking to make
a move. So the question why is a bona fide
All star like Trey Young getting shrapnel on the NBA

(08:11):
trade market speculation, So some of this is likely false,
but Trey Young does have diva personified. He's the epitome
of a diva and that does end up boomeranging back
in your face. He's been known as a coach killer
in Atlanta, that the Hawks have changed coaches quite often,

(08:32):
and Trey believes he doesn't need to listen to any
of them. And people also have just loose lips and
Trey Young getting caught down range.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
You don't want to get caught down range. He's been
caught down range.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
He's catching some strays, and it appears that many people
have those vendettas. They have a vendetta against this guy. Right,
Trey Young's reputation precedes him excess baggage, making him an
acquired taste.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Now that's it. If the Hawks continue to fish, someone.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Is going to buy.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Right, Trey Young scores too many points. He's too dynamic
and offensive play. He's like a designated hitter in baseball.
He doesn't play much defense, but he's a very good
offensive player.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
All right, final point.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
I want to circle back, circle back now, I want
to circle back to the spawn of Lebron as we
like to call him on this show, Scrownie Bronni, so
Scroannie Bronney. We are thirty days away from the collegiate slash.
I didn't go to college, or I went to the
G League, or I went to europe Selection show and

(09:36):
Bronnie James making some headlines over the holiday weekend. Bronnie
james reputation is one of you know, I'm the son
of lebron, but I'm not a great I'm not getting
this attention because of Lebron. Right, I'm not here, I'm
not being talked about for the draft because.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Of lron which we know is is complete.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
All Right, So Bronnie James.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Wants you to know, and me to know, and every
team in the association to know that the former USC
guard will not be signing one of those two way
contracts should he be selected, say in the second.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Round of the upcoming draft.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Now, the guy involved in this clutch sports kingpin lebron James,
tody Rich Paul, has confirmed that he would not would
not agree to terms on a two way deal if
Bronnie were to be offered such by a select team
in the NBA. Now, it's essentially a warning shot. It's

(10:40):
a warning shot from the teams of the for the
teams in the NBA, It's like, hey, don't even mess around.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Bronnie James is not going to the G League. He's not.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Now the question this warning that Bronnie James will not
go to the G league? What does this tell you?
What does this tell you? So I will psychoanalyze this.
It tells you that Bronni James is high maintenance, is
a high maintenance ballplayer. He has been empowered by the
luxury lifestyle of his daddy, right, and you would expect

(11:12):
that right. He grew up in the lap of luxury
as the spawn of lebron and he wants special treatment.
And I would say, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
This is a six to one guard who was a
backup on a sub five hundred college team, averaged less
than five points a game, and now you're telling the
world you're too good to go to the G League.

(11:34):
Excuse my French, but that is chicken feathers, that is horse.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
But dunky dunk, all right, come on right.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Most second round picks, most find themselves like a human
yo yo up and.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Down, spin it all around in between.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
The NBA and the G League. That's just the way
life is when you're a second round pick. And then eventually,
if you stick around long enough and you show something
that you're able to find your.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Way to use a crowbar to open.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Up the door and get a spot on a roster,
but you're not given one. And from the sound of it,
it's all chatter. But it's from Rich Paul that Bronnie
James is not going to settle for a two way contrary.
So if you believe Rich Paul, Scrownie Brownie is way.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Too good for that.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
And of course, if all things were equal, this would
eliminate any chance of Brownie James being drafted. But since
teams think that they can get Lebron, it's a brilliant
move by Lebron to opt out of his Laker contract
because he can then lead these teams on and wait
until after the draft to make sure his kid is drafted.

(12:48):
The whole thing is an oivay situation. It's a I'm
already seriously, what's going.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
On with this? Anyway? It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 2 (12:57):

Speaker 1 (13:08):

Speaker 2 (13:10):

price and those that came out of it. We have
a lot of the fellows that were in the military

good in the service, but they find some some joy
at least have admitted to it off the record.

What to follow your bosses instruction?

Speaker 1 (15:53):
No, I don't. I don't. That's why I do the
overnight show. I make so much more money.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Serious, I make so much more money during the day,
but they micro manage here at night, they're all sleeping.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
I can do whatever I want, Eddie. Whatever I can
see your.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Wiki Peelia about it.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I'll never find out. No one listens overnight.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Who wants to do the overnight show, Eddie.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Everyone's sleeping, Eddie. That's why I'm here. That's why I'm here, Eddie.
I have freedom.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
I have Justin in Cincinnati, who has not watched a
Reds game in twenty years, says, how's how's your ass
feeling after that red series?

Speaker 1 (16:26):
That's from Justin inhow Yeah, that's what he said.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
What, Eddie, why do you go, Wow, what's your ass feeling?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Well, that's that's a wrestling line. But here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
I don't know. I think it's something else.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
No, No, it's a it's a wrestling quote. But here's
the thing, Eddie.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
All Right, I know for a fact Justin has not
watched the Cincinnati Reds game in twenty years because he
listens around the clock.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
The Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
He has no time to watch the Reds because he's
consuming Fox Sports Radio's lineup all day and all night.
So you, while claiming excitement over the red sweeping the Dodgers,
not really a Reds fan, fake Reds fan, not a
real Red fan.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Art Puffin writes.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
In and says, very transparent and reasonable take on lebron
going to Philly. I one hundred percent agree with you
that the Philadelphia fans will chew him up and spit
him out.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
But I did wager an extra.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Twenty dollars I had to lose loose in my change
box on Bronny going number one in the draft two
hundred to one odds. Well, Art, what you should have done,
Art Puffin, as a senior member the Mala Militcher is
you should have taken that twenty dollars bill and grabbed
a cigarette lighter and burned it up and recorded it.

(17:43):
You would have gotten more clout online. Bronni James is
not going to be taken number one overall on the draft.
There are a couple of players, granted we don't really
know who they are, but there's a couple of players
from European countries that are actually good at basketball that
are going to be drafted at the top of the draft.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
I don't know who they are.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I've just seen clips of some of them, and I'm
not going to really pay that close attention until we
get closer to the draft.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
We still have a month ago before the draft.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
But yeah, there's some European players, a guy from Yukon,
Kentucky player that are all in the mix to.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Be drafted in the top three or four picks. But
Bronnie James is not going to be picked number one.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
That said, if he is, yeah, you'll cash your ticket
and you can call up and say, mall, you're such
a schmuck.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
You got that wrong, bad job by you all. Let's
go to the phones.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
We'll say hello to Mark the full name guy who
is hanging out in Medford, Oregon. I just had a
conversation over the weekend with somewhat about Medford, Oregon.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Hello, Mark the full name guy.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
His best call in quite a while.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, I don't know, is are you there?

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Mark?

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Hello? Mark?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Okay, thank you. I don't know if that's is that
the right line we punched up?

Speaker 4 (18:58):

Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's the life say to weed man hippie. Hello, weed Man, hippie.

Speaker 8 (19:04):
I love you.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
There he is weed Man hippie from Lincoln Road in Miami,
where you can charge your phone if you're living on
the streets.

Speaker 9 (19:15):
I can't believe man got beat tonight. I was hoping
to win the series.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, so was I. But is that looking so good
right now?

Speaker 4 (19:28):
It?

Speaker 8 (19:29):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah, it's terrible.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
More poorly, weed man. I I did send you some
information over the weekend off the air. Have you contacted
the proper people to make sure that you still have
some government assistant food coming your way?

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I will no you. You didn't do it. I told
you that you didn't do it. I showed you how
to do it, and you didn't do it.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
We man, it was not but on Friday, you could
have done it before the holiday weekend.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
What a surprise. He doesn't follow instructions.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
I know.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
No, Hey, I talked to him off the air. We met,
We had a conversation off the air, right. I called
you after the show and I and we talked, and
you were looking for some information and you don't know
how to use your phone. So I got the information.
I sent it to you, and I'm going to do
it on Tuesday. Okay, all right, all right, okay, all right,

(20:23):
anything I understand, I understand, weed man. And then, of course,
if you want, we can get your job. You want
to get a job.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
That is funny, holding down a job the.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Funniest joke I've ever told that.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
He'd all those lame jokes for twenty years, but this
is the funniest joke, weed Man, hippie getting a job.

Speaker 9 (20:44):
I want my Social Security money.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I understand, weed man.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
You you clearly earned it from all those all those
TV shows on public Access in New York back in
the day, which are still on YouTube, many of them.

Speaker 9 (20:58):
You know what would have been great then werecoin like you?

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Shut up with that, Okay, I don't need to be
I don't need to be reminded that I laughed at
a cousin of mine that wanted me to buy bitcoin
early on.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
I don't need you to remind me of that bad
job by you.

Speaker 9 (21:12):
Do you know seventy five thousand dollars?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:17):
But this way, weed man, we're more relatable people because
if we had purchased bitcoin early on, we'd be so
rich right now. We wouldn't even know what to do
with ourselves. So rich, I know, or if we had
done Benny and the weed Man. Only if we had

(21:37):
done Benny and the weed Man the Vegas Show, we can't.
We can still do it, Yeah, we can still make
it happen, make magic, make magic in Vegas. I get
they're getting rid of Bally's though. Bally's in Vegas is
going away, so we'll have to find somewhere else to go. Yeah,
they're closing. They're building a baseball stadium for the A's.
You know.

Speaker 9 (21:56):
And I can't believe I used to go to Trump
Pause Trump, pasmah, Donald Trump. I can't believe this was present.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, and he might be president again. And they have
in Vegas. They have.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
I don't think there's gambling though at his hotel in Vegas.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
I don't think they have.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
I might be wrong.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Somebody told gambling.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
What's that Vegas have gambling?

Speaker 2 (22:21):
No, not all the not all the places have gamb
believe it or not. There's some hotels that don't have
a gamble. Yeah, I know, right, I mean you can
gamble at the airport in Vegas. You can play the
slots at the airport there.

Speaker 9 (22:33):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 9 (22:35):
That's why I can't believe it the hotel.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Would would you, weed man? Would you move to Vegas?

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Weed Man?

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yes, you would, so Vegas is a place you would go. Okay,
but you would be that's very hot there in the summer.
I mean it's it's it's a dry heat. But but
what do you it's like one hundred and twenty degrees
there during the day, weed man.

Speaker 9 (22:55):
You know, Oh, don't pull my mind. It tries.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
All right.

Speaker 7 (23:02):

these comps and sometimes she like gives me and my
my wife comps to go stay at these hotels, at

where reigning National League MVP Ronaldacune Junior toward the ACL

in the American League at thirty six and seventeen. Yankees

(26:02):
repeat champion at the Indy five Veterans two.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
She's on an Indy five hundred. Pick him.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
I blame you. I blame you, as you know.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
I blame Lorrainer because she's not here, or Kooper Loop
he's not here either, Well, so I blame that's odd.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
I can blame shy Chase here, I can blame Shay Well, I.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Guess you could. I don't know why you would. You're
the host of the show. We do what you want
us to do.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
No, No, I'm just I'm just a cog in the
in the machine. That's all. I am, cogging the wheel.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
That's it, just a cog, just following my orders like
Eddie Garcia.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
That's what I do.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Absolutely, we got a fun fact that you're ready for
a fun fact.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
We got a fun fact that he fun fact.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
We don't have the sounder, but here's we found it.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
We got this one playing again. I want to hear
it again.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
I want to hear it again, playing again, play maler
fun fact all right. Through three games of the Western
Conference Final, lukea Luka Dancik Kyrie Irving have one hundred
and eighty one points. They're shooting almost fifty percent from
the floor, forty one percent from three point range. Anthony
Edwards and Karl Anthony Towns one hundred and eleven points.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
They've been outscored. The dynamic duo from Minnesota has been
outscored by seventy points by the twosome for the Dallas
basketball team, and the Minnesota guys are shooting thirty three
point six percent from the floor. I believe we could
get together. Holler and James and Eke in Rosevild, Minnesota.

(27:25):
Put them together, they could shoot thirty three percent and
ten of forty three twenty three percent from three point range,
just dreadful.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
So there's your difference. That's a fun fact.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
As Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony Towns outscored by seventy
points mono a mono against the Luka Doncik and Kyrie
Irving so far in the Western Conference Finals. Let's go
to the phones and we'll say hello to Let's hello
to Roger.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Who's up next? Hello Roger in the Commonwealth, Hello Roger.

Speaker 8 (27:59):
Welcome, Hey Ben, how why are you happy? Memorial Day?

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Form a marine but always be one?

Speaker 2 (28:04):
All right, thank you for your serf. How long were
you in the Marines there back in the day, Roger?

Speaker 4 (28:10):
Eight years?

Speaker 1 (28:10):
What was the craziest place you went while you were
in the Marines.

Speaker 8 (28:15):
Let's see, Irack, that.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Would be pretty crazy, that would be that would be
that would take the cake?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
I would say, that would take Yeah, I got you.

Speaker 8 (28:23):
Well, I didn't take the cake. I took a bullet,
but cake at the.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
End of wow, that's wold.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Where did you get hit if you want me. You
got hit in the leg, man, that's craziest wild man.
And when you got what was it like? When you're
at tell me the story. I want to know what
it's like from you. You're in the service, you get hit.
You knew this could happen, right, You knew there's a possibility,
But when it happens.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
You're like, what's going through what's going through your head?

Speaker 8 (28:47):
When you when it happened, Well, what happened was is
that when I did get shot, the bullet was sticking
out of my leg.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
So what I did is I pulled it out, and
then I grabbed some dirt with some one, put some
one from a canteen, put some water in the dirt
and made a little mudball. And then I packed it
with the mud and went often handled my business.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Rub some dirt on it.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
That's a boss move, man, That is a boss move.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Roger.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
And what do you think seeing all these these ballplayers
that don't believe in rubbing dirt?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Are you literally rubbed dirt on it? Roger? You lived
back to the idiom.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
My god, you've got more hair on your chest than
anyone I know, Roger, unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Amaze.

Speaker 8 (29:27):
Well, listen to two issues I want to talk about
real quick and also a prediction. Uh one, of course,
you know Lebron's not taking a back see you know
damn Well, it's obvious wherever Browny goes, he's gonna go
and play with his kid for one year.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Well, he's been hinting about it for years, and I
wouldn't see.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Why unless the Lakers draft and then they'll stay with
the Lakers.

Speaker 8 (29:47):
But otherwise, I imagine if he does go to the Lakers,
But the way Browne has been acting, I think he
should be drafted to the w NBA.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
You know.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, then Eddie would have to give it updates if
that would have happened, that would be you have to
mention the updates there, I got you.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
In the second issue, with Trey Young, I think they
should kick his ass out of the you know, out
of the USA and put him in Toronto.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Oh that'd be.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
I'd be punished by sending him to oh Cod and
all the great poutine there in Toronto and all that
that would that would be all right. Listen, Kevin, thank
you man, and have a good date today. I appreciate
your service and all that.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
That's quite the story. That's Roger. Rather, that's quite the story.
I called him Kevin.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Bat job by me, but Roger, a good job by you.
That's a good story, Eddie. I mean, that's that's right
up there. That's probably is that better than the guy from.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
No No, it's not all due respect, No.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Okay, So our friend from Alabama man and the one
like Abama man. Yeah, that he had his leg bitten
off by an alligator and then he and a relative
went and killed the gator and then ate it.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, and that.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
That that's number one.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
I mean, but I mean you're out battlefield.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
The guy gets shot, I mean Roger got shot, and
then he ends up just like.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
It was a very good story.

Speaker 7 (31:09):
I was not get your leg bitten off by an
alligator and then eating that alligator.

Speaker 10 (31:13):
It's not I got a question about that story real quick.
Did he killed the alligator that same day or did
he was it like a month after?

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Well, Van can call back. I forget exactly the specifics.
I think they they went back and tracked it down.
I don't think it was the same day. I think
he needed medical attention because his leg was bitten off
by an alligator. But it was within a short period
of time that they went back and they ate it.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
So yeah, pretty well, man.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
I had never been around alligators out in the wild,
because why would I.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
I live in California and other than the zoo, you know,
which is not the wild.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
But I visited my my relatives in North Carolina, my
wife's family, and my father in law has a house there.
Right across the street there are gators in a retention pond.
Like three gators live across the streets. While it's like yeah, yeah,
you just don't bother them.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
They won't. They don't care about you.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
They don't you know, just just don't don't approach them
going fast, and don't bother them, and you can just
like stare at them.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
They don't care, you know, they don't give a crap.
That's pretty wild.

Speaker 7 (32:13):
When I was in Australia, no, no, when I was
in Australia, we went to a zoo and they had
a crocodile, a huge crocodile.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
I mean it was like eight feet long.

Speaker 7 (32:25):
Yeah, and it was laying there and they had the
enclosure was glass, so you could go right up if
it was next to the glass, which it was, you
can go right up next to it and be inches
away from it, and I was looking at this thing.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
I'm like, that can't be real because it didn't move.
It was just like frozen.

Speaker 7 (32:44):
And I got down close next to its face and
was looking at it like face to face, and then
I could tell it.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Was actually breathing and it was alive. And I was like,
oh my god, this thing is insane.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
I saw the zoo in North Carolina saw an all
binyl alligator.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
That's pretty wild. Yeah, and you think he gets picked
on by the other alligators. Do you think they gave
it like you know, you know, you're just kind of
goofy looking, you know. It had weird like yellow eyes,
like whitish yellow eyes.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
It was pretty wild. Man.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
I was like, I've never seen that one before, but
they had one at the zoo there, Like, wow, it's
pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
All right?

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Is the Ben Marshall So Lebron. People very upset with Lebron.
He was caught red handed. Some video went viral over
the weekend. Turns out Lebron is very relatable to Eddie.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Who likes to do this. I of course would never
do this, It would be wrong to you to this.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
But Lebron James was caught illegally streaming NBA games. Say what, Yes,
Lebron was using a site that so many many people
used to get around the eight million streaming services, which
and I'm told by my bosses, you should not use

(33:50):
these illegal streaming services, Eddie, you should not do that.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
But Lebron James was somebody was.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Behind Lebron and they had their cell phone camera out
and they were recording. Lebron was watching one of the
final games. And uh and and by the way, I
know the name of it, but I people are worried
that this play, this site's.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Going to be taken down. We don't need that. We
don't need. Yeah, we don't need I mean, I I
mean it's not that we care, but no, we don't.

Speaker 10 (34:20):
It's a you know, we don't don't ever want to.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Wish that exactly.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
We don't want And there's some people would be that,
but I will point out, and I haven't heard a
lot of people talk about this, that Lebron was caught
using this streaming site. But there's a pay tire and
it appears not only was Lebron using it, either he
or one of his henchmen was paying for it. There's
like a free to but you can pay and watch
multiple games at the same time on the illegal streams

(34:45):
and Lebron, it appeared when I looked at the clip
that several of you sent me over the weekend, it
appeared that Lebron did Actually he's either he or somebody
in his little group. They're paid for the paid for
the service, so at least he was paid for it.
But uh yeah, and uh pretty pretty I wonder how many.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
People actually use that real quick on that bend. So
so it would like to chime in that red.

Speaker 10 (35:10):
Handed, not that I know too much about it from
personal experience.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Yeah, of course not that would be wrong. You can
watch up to four for free. Really, hell, I wouldn't know,
you would know.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
I wouldn't have a friend that uses that, so let
me know so I can tell my friend.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
I of course, do not need to know how to
do that.

Speaker 10 (35:28):
It's it's you just got to click the top thing,
I think, I think.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
But if you do that, it's like a pay tier.

Speaker 10 (35:35):
So there's a paid tier where you can watch more
than four games at one time, and then there's a
free tier where you can watch four games at one time.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Really, yeah, this is mind blowing. Oh yeah, I mean
not for me, of course, because I would never I
would never use that site that Lebron is accused of using,
because that would be wrong.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Never, it would be a moral you couldn't it would
be inappropriate. As well, we're in sports, yes, exactly, exactly.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
All right, Well there you go, so brought people furious
they think the site's going to be taken out, I
promise you. Having talked to people on who work in
that television world and people that work in the sports.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
World, everyone knows that site.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Everyone knows about it, and trust me, they've been trying
to shut it down for a long time.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
So it's not like Lebron. It's not like Lebron is
going to push it over the top or anything like that.
They've been working.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
But I believe the servers that site uses are in
a very difficult place for the US government to get
access to to shut down. But if they can, they will.
If they can, they absolutely will shut that down. But
it doesn't matter. I mean, there'll be seven other places
that pop up if that place goes around. From what
I've heard, of course, I do not know firsthand that's
the case. Alf the alien pinter says, how come Eddie

Hurry up, by eh, Let's go with Phoenix Sun Legend,
Marcine Gortat.

Speaker 1 (39:06):

It's Chris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks back in twenty
twenty one.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
In Shay, say Shay.

Speaker 10 (39:21):
Joe Shire, Bengals of defensive coordinator Dan Pitcher says QB.
Joe Burrow isn't on pitch counter amid his injury rehab, Ben,
do you expect one hundred percent Joe Burrow from week one?

Speaker 2 (39:29):
All right, so he isn't on a pitch counter, meaning
they're not limiting how many throws he has during practice
and all that. Yes, listen, Joe Burrow is the number
two quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
He's phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
He's way behind Patrick Maholmes. But he is the wonder
kid of Cincinnati. He is the virtuoso. I do expect
him to be ready to go in the Bengals back
in the playoffs this year.

see what happens next.

Speaker 10 (40:22):
Yankee star Juan Soto says he ain't closing any doors
before MLB free agency. Ben, how do you interpret his quote?

Speaker 1 (40:28):
So this one's rather easy, Shay.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
This is a rebuttal to the rumors the Steinberanner family
is going to offer one Soto a contract during the season.
He's announcing he's not closing any doors. If you take
the contract, you're closing doors to other teams.
