Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb Bird two talking pro
bouncy ball in our number two here original recipe podcast,
and we talk about the rumor of the day out
of Philadelphia. Would the Miami Heat boss pat Riley be
willing to trade Jimmy Butler to the Sixers? Jimmy Buckets
(00:24):
used to play in Philadelphia. Also, what is the word
for Bronnie James limiting his workouts before the draft to
just the Lakers and the Suns? And is lebron James
seriously interested in a job transfer to Phoenix and what
will be required in that. We'll discuss all of those things. Also,
(00:45):
we blow up the international line. We have great motivational
wisdom as well this hour. You'll have to hear it
all right now here. It is our number two the
Game of Musical Chairs. It has not started yet, but
it's this close. Wel come in the beginning of another
(01:06):
hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the
air everywhere making life interesting unless we're not, as we
make good sports takes even better. Take that Eddie coast,
the coast, border, the border and beyond on the beast
and impressively powerful microphones of fs are emmating live from
(01:33):
the experience, the learning experience. We are broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in starars.
Andre from the Commonwealth has had about ten thousand students
(01:56):
over there, ten thousand in stars. Tyraq dot com. The
way tire buying should be our lead. This hour from
the Chatterbox. That's what we do it. We're a big chatterbox.
Now it's working over time pro bouncy ball. We're not
going to revisit the Minnesota basketball team winning and staving
(02:16):
off elimination in Game four, Dallas still up three to one,
they go back to Minnesota. Back to Minnesota for an
opportunity to rise up one more time and force than
the game six. You see, that works there and with
every win things get ratcheted up for the Dallas basketball team.
But this is not about that. The on court drama
(02:38):
has been not very good. There's been a drought. We're
in a drought for on court drama. We need El Nino,
who used to be a call of the show El Nino,
to save the day. Now the speculation chatterbox is where
the drama orama is in. It's filling the void. A
lot of noise coming out of Philadelphia every single day.
(02:58):
There's a different story. There was a room a couple
of days ago that Paul George of the People's Team
is going to leave la his homeland, to go to
the city of brother in Love. Then there was Lebron James,
and we spin the wheel round and round round. The
wheel goes around and we stop at another name for
the Sixers. If you have not been following, this one
(03:22):
is pretty good. It is more realistic than Lebron James.
As we pointed out, Lebron James, he don't play a
town like Philadelphi. He wouldn't play in a place like Philly,
New York, Boston. He just can't handle it. He's soft.
That's the reality of the situation when it comes to criticism.
He's not someone wired for a town like that, and
that's why he hasn't gone to a team like the
(03:43):
Knicks or the Celtics. He's had opportunities during the course
of his career. But this is about the Sixers, So
the seventy six Ers. If you didn't see this they
are interested in Jimmy Buckets, Jimmy Butler a reunion. He
played there, He played there six years ago. He played there.
A little birdie has been chirping, trip trip trip, just
(04:04):
like that. That's what it sounds like, drip trip trip.
Little Birdie's been chirping that. The Sixers are prepared to
offer Jimmy Buckets the max extension Max max max. If
the Heat end up beating a plan ball, he'd have
to trade. They have to be willing to trade Jimmy
Butler to an Eastern Conference rival and send him back
(04:27):
to the Delaware Valley. So let us discuss the question,
would Miami Boss pat Riley trade Jimmy Butler to the
seventy six ers. We'll keep it simple, So I've got
magic eight ball, jerry mandering, and puppeteering, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a walk off celebration. That's what we're gonna do,
(04:51):
walk off and celebrate good times. So number woman, all right,
this one is a little more complicated than most, a
little more complicated than most. But to answer the question,
would pat Riley actually do it? Would he pulled the
trigger on a deal that would send Jimmy buckets to Philadelphia.
(05:15):
It's complicated because we love Butler. He's got gut Skyle,
he's got moxie, all that stuff, all those big words,
he's got all that love. The way he plays. The
Sixers would first of all have to admit that they
screwed up not keeping Jimmy Butler. If you bring him back,
you're admitting U fed up, which is hard to do.
But there were different people in charge back when Jimmy
(05:37):
Butler left the Sixers to go on his merry way
around the NBA. But Butler's approach is necessary in Philadelphia
because they need what the old Coastal Carolina coach said
years ago, right, be a dog. They need dogs. They
need They not cast me outs, they don't need know me.
(06:00):
They need dogs. And he's a dog, all right, and
not the kind of dog with fleas. He's got all
his shots. Jimmy Butler, he's he's got the dog in him.
He does. That's I think that's d A W G.
That's spelling, not the dog spelling of dog. But the
question was asked to pat Riley and Ryle's publicly shot
(06:23):
down the premise of the question the idea that Jimmy
Butler would leave and be sent out of Miami to Philadelphia.
But later on he left the door open. So you're
saying there's a chance. And now asking my friend the
magic gate ball. We asked the magic gate ball, should you,
(06:45):
pat Riley, trade Jimmy Butler to Philadelphia? The magic gate
ball says, signs point to yes, Signs point to yes.
Is the now we do have a believer. Do not
let a falling star fall on you. Right, Jimmy Butler
(07:08):
is a human cannonball the way that he plays, But
he's also in his mid thirties and outside of Lebron
James and a few other athletes that have been able
to find certain enhancers, that is a tough combo. That
is a tough combo dish in terms of longevity. All right, Now,
(07:30):
page two, we go to the draft, which is coming.
I know you're excited about. No, you're not excited about. Okay,
bout job, but America's favorite projected second round pick is
yet again in the headlines. For a guy that's not
very good at basketball, this cat is great at content engagement.
(07:52):
Bronnie James, what is he doing now? I remember Bronnie
James talked earlier about how tough his life was being
the son of a bill Here and Bronnie James is
attempting to hand pick hand pick his landing spot during
the upcoming draft. It's less than a month away. Now
we are told that Bronnie James was originally going to
(08:15):
work out for ten franchises in the Cartela Basketball Ten.
It's a lot. There's only thirty teams in the NBA.
He was gonna work out for ten of them. But
since has had a change of heart, Bronnie James has
decided that he is going to reject eight of the
ten that he had previously agreed to work out for. Now,
(08:37):
Shams Sharania Sharania says that the remaining two teams on
the big board are the Purple and Gold team and
the Purple and Orange team. That's it. So what is
the word? What is the word for Bronnie James limiting
(08:58):
his NBA draft workout to the Lakers and the Suns.
So the word is actually two words. It's political bull
crap is the words I have political bull crap, and
it is jerry mandering, which everyone does in politics. The
team read the team Blue, everyone does it. Scroannie Brownie
(09:19):
is attempting here to read district where he plays basketball,
and he's using the muscle of the family business to
limit his options here. And that, as they said in
that movie back of the that's a bull move, Cotton,
that is a bull move. It'd be one thing if
you were good. Now, I've always had a problem with this.
(09:40):
I called Eli Manning the punk his entire career because
he punked out. I'm playing for the old San Diego Chargers,
and I stand by that he's a punk. Eli Manning, Elijah,
there's that. But it's one thing if you actually have ability.
But we've seen no evidence that Bronnie James, other than
getting in the right genetic lottery his father is a billionaire,
(10:03):
that he can actually play at a high level. I
did see him in college basketball average less than five
points a game as a backup on a sub five
hundred team at the University of Southern California. So the
Whispering Tree does hint that the Sons are legitimately considering
drafting Bronnie James for no other reason than to convince
(10:27):
his papa to come to Arizona. That that is it
like they admit that they know behind closed doors Bron
James can't play, but they also know his father can
sell a lot of tickets and create a little buzz
and hype and all that stuff. And so that is
actually the final part of this puzzle as we wind
(10:49):
our way through the NBA conversation. So with Bronni limiting
his options to La La Land and the land of
the that's it. The question must be asked, thumbs up
or thumbs down? Is Lebron James interested in a job
(11:09):
transfer to Phoenix? And there's only one way to answer
this giant thumbs up. Giant thumbs up on this one.
That's it. That's the only way to answer this giant
thumbs up. For years, this goes back at least four years,
probably longer, probably longer, but at least four years. I
(11:33):
have heard from people who know more than I and
like to tell me they know more than I that
this has always been the plan, that Lebron it's an
open secret that Lebron would like to be teammates with Bronni.
And why wouldn't he be? Right, father's son, two man
show coming to an arena near you? So how would
(11:54):
this work? I'll tell you this would be like a
master card commercial. I can see it right now. Flight
from Lax to Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, one way
ticket eighty two dollars. Signing a veteran minimum contract, which
(12:15):
Lebron would have to do, would cost him fifty plus
million dollars in salary that Lebron would leave on the table.
But playing in the NBA as a father son combo priceless, right,
can't you see the commercial? I could see the commercial.
There are some things that money can buy. I can't
buy him. But for everything else, there's that credit card, right, yeah, exactly. Anyway,
(12:40):
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like
to be part you can join us here. Speakeasy rules
are in effect. We're also on ex at Ben Mahlor.
That is at Ben Mahlor if you'd like to be
part of the program. That fashion accessory story. Micah Parsons,
who during the day plays for the Dallas Cowboys, but
(13:01):
he showed up at the Mavericks game last night and
he had a Mavericks jersey, had a Luka Doncic Jersey said, okay, good,
he's a Maverick fan. He's supporting the Dallas team. He
plays in Dallas, but there are photos of him in
a Sixers jersey he played and he's from that area,
which is said, okay, that's fine. But then he's also
(13:22):
got photos of him in Celtic memorabile. He's he reminds
me of Justin Bieber, Remember when years ago Bieber would
wear all these different hockey jerseys and just show up.
Or Snoop Dogg does the same thing. If you give
Snoop Dogg a check, he will wear any laundry you
give him. He does not have any There's no shame
in his game. No shame in his game. So Micah
(13:43):
parsons being ripped apart for wearing a Maverick jersey after
wearing a Sixer jersey and a Celtic jersey. Maybe he
just likes jerseys. He doesn't like any of those teams.
He just happens to like wearing jersey. That's a possibility.
So we mentioned the Bronnie g story Iscronnie BROWNI and
that being a political bull crab. Well there is more
(14:06):
more of that to playing politics. Well we'll get to
that end. We can further update a malord follow up
on a gossip story that took a wild turn involving
a high rank NFL official. We'll go there as well,
and we will do it next.

Andy the comic book, guys all fired up. You gotta wait, Andy,
(15:54):
We'll get to the store. It's mocking your team. We'll
do that again. Chipping the Ques rights in and says
a plus on the Malond monologue, it must be nice
for Lebron to be able to piss away fifty million
dollars in order to satisfy a silly whim. Well, that
would be what would be required for Lebron to join
(16:15):
Kevin Durant and the Suns. It would be better for
Lebron if the Lakers end up drafting Bronni James. That
would oh my god, that would be so good for
the financially for the Brown But if you look at
the the draft. The Lakers generally don't keep many of
their picks. They usually end up trading their picks. That's
(16:35):
normally how they do they operate there. The Lakers in
this draft do not have a first round pick, and
I think they have you can always buy a second
round pick. I don't think they have a second round pick.
I have one. They picked fifty six. That's it. That's all.
(16:55):
Very excited. Go to the phones international line, We go
to Australia and we sallo to the caller known as

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
It's been in such a while being around traveling.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
But where have you been traveling? Where have you been going?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
My I've been to knowing different countries in the last
nine months, but.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Just just with my work.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Well, thanks for thanks for coming by and visiting. It
was nice to see you.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I was actually in the date of Iniquity. I ended
up in Houston.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh man, you're your Your company must hate you. If
they sent you to Houston, they must they wanted to
punish you.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, Now it must have been a good barbecue. That
Texas barbecue better than that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Uh. Well, what do you like barbecue kangaroo or something
like that? What do you guys barbecue?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Yeah, we we barbecue kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
How do How does it taste like? What's it taste like?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
It's a big game. It's like deer, Like, have you
ever had deer?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
We call it?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
No, you like it?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Do you? You?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
What if you put sauce on it? Does it taste fine?
If you put sauce on.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Kangaroo, a Maronite Maronite in like a barbecue type sauce thing.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
That's what That's how I usually have it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Anyway, Well, you might be shaking your head, but this
is the kind of content we need on the show,
is that we need to know how to properly make
a kangaroo. Very strong animals of the kangaroo naturally, they're
born naturally. I don't think they work out right, Osie momentum.
They're just naturally strong.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Yeah, did I have a question and they will beat
the piece out of you.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Sorry, yep.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
What does a kangaroo sound like?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
What is it sandlo like?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Great question, great question.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Tackling the big issues.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Like you can't. They don't really make much of a
noise other than a chewing sort of a noise.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Now I've heard We've had several listeners over the years.
They pointed out in fact, Ozzie was one of your
rivals who lives in Western Australia, says he's had his
car attacked while listening to the show driving at night
because kangaroos run at cars that have their lights on.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
My kangaroos are idiots. They look cute and I ah,
and I will bake the piece out of you if
I get change get a wrong one. But I'm telling
you that that he did rot.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Okay, all right, we've confirmed tweet that out who We
have confirmed via our international line that kangaroos are moras.
So usually what I do, Ozzie momentum is if I
want to goof on someone to make fun of them
and say they're stupid. I ca him a donkey, But
should I call him a kangaroo instead? Would that be
more appropriate?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, you call him a bloody ruth, Your bloody ruth.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Your bloody, bloody rouse. Okay, Bo's got a sound to it.
Eddie liked that. Eddie approved, He thought that was good.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Well, that's the my thing. He's the voice of raising.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Stop you stop that down under him. He doesn't even
know who you are, Ozzie. Momentum, you are nothing to happen.
It's true. In fact, he tells me he hates you.
He doesn't like your accent. That's what he told you.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
He wouldn't be the first person to hate me, So
that's not true.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now he's trying, he's trying to suck up. We know
the truth. That we know the truth.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Yes, Pin, Well, look, I wanted.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
To call you a couple of weeks a guy. Actually
I've got This is more of a question for the
rest of the crew, if that's okay, particularly keeping Eddie goy.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
What do you prefer?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Do you prefer the clippers of old when they were
like it just trash and they couldn't win games at all?
And they and nobody sort of looked at them or anything.
Or do you prefer them now where they make the
playoffs and absolutely embarrass themselves every single time and make
everybody dumb.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm offended by your question.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know what you are.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
You're a kangaroo, is what you are? Bloody bloody roue.
You're a bloody ruse. What you are, bloody rue.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
But I'm serious.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I want to know the answer, which do you prefer?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I would I personally prefer the playoff choking clippers. That's
a dumb question. It's obviously better that they think they
can win every year and they eat. That's an e.
That's a that's an easy question. That's a moronic ques.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
It's not it's not necessarily an easy question. It's an
easy question, no, if you if you think about it.
And and I don't know this for a fact, because
when I started working here was kind of when the Clippers,
you know.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
They're sent to They're in La, sent to a playoffs,
foking team. They got the greatest taj mahal of Steve Ber.
When I started working here is when lob City started.
So great memories.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
It's more hilarious to see the like crushing pain of
the choking in the playoffs. Uh, the fact that they're
good most of the season makes Ben very annoying most
of the season. But I wasn't here before when they
were just utter garbage, so I don't know how Ben
acted back then.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It was the famous show when they they lost the
Cleveland and Cleveland had set they were like one loss
away from setting the North American record for losses for
a team. And I did the whole show with a
paper bag in my head and I'm so stupid. There
were no cameras and I still wore the paper bag
(22:50):
of He's a moron. I'm a bloody rue. Ozzie momentum
is what I am, a bloody rue.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I think great though we can all agree that even
eats that block of the year you are unbearable to listen,
you know, to work with and to listen to that,
you know, the playoff agony.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
That you go through, the agony. Yeah, you're right, you're right.
I wish Doc Rivers are still coaching.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
It's my favorite night was when they lost and then
played that clip of Dock and then he cursed on
the air.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
That's the last thing I did not say the one
one thousand and two one thousand. He just said that.
Believe that's the last time I cursed on the air.
It was Doc Rivers. Yeah, all right, you've wasted the
entire segment momentum. Congratulations. It's only cost you like seven
hundred dollars to call us, but.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Think completely worth it.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Thanks God. Yeah, go go away. By the way, great phone. Yes,
I'm man. That's better than some people that call us
from La fantastic hollering James, he's like to eat the
I'm man holler and James. It is the Ben Maler Show.
We'll talk to more of these jamokes. I gotta add
that bloody roo you ever heard that before? We better
(24:07):
check it might mean something really bad. Kangaroo about that.
Let's check that the Urban Dictionary of Australia to see
if it means something else. You know, it might mean
something else. You know. You just got to make sure
you say it with the accent.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
You have to.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You go ahead, say it your bloody roue. That's good, good,
that's pretty good. Yeah, bloody rue about that? I do
a good Australian, right, I bet you could find a kangaroo.
I'm getting up early tomorrow ready because I got called
out of the bullpen. I'll be on the radio and
New Zealand tomorrow. Oh wow, ye Darcy. No, no, Darcy
(24:45):
is doing like news talk. My old buddy Darcy is
doing news talk. So I'm And he was actually in
the States, but he didn't didn't visit La. He was
in San Francisco. His former girlfriend lives in San Francisco,
so they rekindled. I don't know. I don't know all
the details. I probably shouldn't any but they hung out
together at least. And yeah, I'm going on with Scotty
(25:06):
and Izzy, the Scotty and Izzy Show, Eddie, Oh, the
world famous Scotti and Izzy Show. It's Scotty and Easy
for breakfast. I'll be honest. I do regret when I
took my trip to Australia that we did not go
to New Zealand. Yeah, it was right there, although it's
a several hour flight. Yeah, on the map it's right there,
but it's still a decent sized flight to get from
what It depends what part you're going to obviously, anyway,
(25:27):
it is the ben Malos Scholzics. Some more of these
amazing phone calls and all of that wonderful, wonderful stuff
that's all mixed into the sauce. All of it's in
the sauce. But right now, let's get you caught about
everything going on in the overnight. We say lo to
games of note, Garcia Ya.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
All right, thank you, Ben. We start in the NBA
Game four Western Conference Finals. The Timberwolves stay alive with
a one oh five, one hundred victory in Dallas over
the Mavericks Anthony Edwards twenty nine points and ten rebounds,
Karl Anthony Town's twenty five points and the win from
Minnesota for Dallas their big two Luka Dancic twenty eight points,
fifteen bounds. Kyrie, you are being just sixteen points in
that loss. Derek Leipley, by the way, did not play
for Dallas. Remember he took that knee of the head
(26:06):
in game number three. Dallas still has the three one series.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
My head, Eddy, oh, my head. You already play the SoundBite,
don't you? No, it's well you can't. It is a
good sound Back Friday Friday, we will have a game.
Do you see that? No? No, I need to check
it out, just that scene. It's wonderful. Game five Thursday
in Minneapolis. I think the they filmed that in one
(26:31):
street in La right, and don't like one of the houses.
It's like a cult following the movie Friday. But I
saw something online that one of the people that live
in the house is like charges people to take photos
of their house. How do they? I don't know how
they pull that off. I mean, just well, it's the
same concept as I can. You go to Vegas and
they have the person dressed as Mickey Mouse and they
(26:51):
if you don't pay them, they come out and punch you.
And you know, I don't that doesn't seem probably in
that street performers that attack. It happens here in Hollywood too.
I bet they have op stuff too. Yeah, every once
in a while the attack. It's hilarious because they're wearing
their costumes. I saw that in Times Square when I
went to Yeah, same thing in Time and I didn't
see any of them attacking anymore. Is the naked cowboy

fun fact, maler fun fact. This was sent in by Mike.
I don't know why Mike sentis in. It is not
a sports fun fact, but he says, if you get
a pimple, just pour alcohol on it and'll dry up
and fade away real quick. Well that is very Isn't
(28:01):
that a fun fact? If you ever got a people, So,
we had the caller last hour, what would you say?
I don't know. We had the cal last listening to Eddie.
I don't know. Not this one.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
We had the caller last hour talking about Josh Gibson. Yes, uh,
he only had one hundred and sixty six career home runs.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You're a hater, Eddie. No, I thought it was a
lot more than that. It's like Hack Wilson, who hit
had the most RBIs in one season, but other than that,
was an alcoholic and didn't do you have a bunch
of doubles to Hack Wilson. Wilson double doubles too. Oh
RBIs that's an unbreakable right, one hundred and ninety RBIs
for the Chicago Cups, little small fat guy, Hack Wilson. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(28:37):
stocky little dude. Yeah. Anyway, it is the Ben Malas.
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Yenie Meenie miney mo. Let's say hello to Fallon, who
is in in Fremont. Hello, Fallon, Welcome, Welcome, Hi. Then
how are you? If I was any better, I would
(28:58):
be andy, But not any comic book guy because he's
a dope and he's sending me a lot of evil
messages on social media.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
So okay, well that sounds pretty good. I just wanted
to say a couple of things that are a little
bit motivational, just to along the lines of trusting your instincts.
I just want to say that if you guys have
a weird feeling that you should leave somewhere.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
You should leave.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
And if you have an inkling that you should bet
on something, you should bet. And if you if someone
is making you feel uneasy, don't trust them. Just basically
trust what you were born with. It is inside you.
For a reason. You are not overthinking.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You were just fell did you?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Did you send me the message about the pimple? Are
you the one that sent that to me? No, you
didn't send that to me. But that was that was
not you, Okay.
Speaker 8 (29:47):
I was just trying to tell you you're you're.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Spreading positivity and that I'm trust yourself. That's all. Now.
Have you ever bet and won a lot of money
because you try yourself? Have you done that?
Speaker 8 (30:01):
Well, I've not listened to myself. When I had a
good one time, I went to Vegas for my first
time and I was going to bet all of my
money on in uh, what's that thond called roulette? Yes,
twenty two And I was going to bet like I think,
forty dollars on it, and it landed on that. But
right before it landed on that, my boyfriend had said
(30:22):
to spread it around because that's not how you play that.
You should move it around and like share it.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Basically, I'm sure you probably dumped him after that, right,
because that's no I did it. You did, not that one.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
I did shuck.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Okay, yeah. I usually when I play Roulette, I'm just
usually written like betting, like red or black, and that's it,
you know, otter even that's yeah, I play.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
I had a good feeling about Black twenty two.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
What can I say?
Speaker 8 (30:47):
But all I'm saying is it like in like social
situations and just like anywhere, sometimes you get a weird feeling.
You should leave if you feel that.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Can I ask you a question? Yes, why are you
calling the show.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
Just because I think it's cool?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I was just wondering. I mean, I'm very kind of
you to do that. I was. Nobody put you up
to this, right, No one forced you to make this.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Phone call to join on in everyone. There's all these
different personalities.

to come up with if you call that one call.
You don't get a nickname, you know that, right, You
can't get a nickname after one.
Speaker 8 (31:21):

I'm from starts with the F. So that's kind of.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Has a ring to it okay, which says, what's this?
A Fallon is Falon? We could name her after a
boat like s S. Fallon. Well, she's got to calls
Frank Fallen, I said, Fallon, would you be s S

with it? I'm confused? You agree, right, Fallon? Eddie's a cheater? Yes, yes,

If you call more often, we'll get you a nickname. Right,
thank you, hanging up on you go away? All right?
It is the Ben Mahler Show. So the gossip pages.
Remember the story we talked about the other day. There
was a rumor about a month ago that Mark Davis
had impregnated some influencer that we didn't really know who
she was or whatever, because she sat next to him
at a Raiders game. Well, it turns out the woman
(32:32):
is pregnant. That was not It was not a fake
like baby bump or anything like that. But it turns
out that the Raiders owner, who is almost seventy, was
not the one that impregnated the influencer. It turns out
that she was hanging out with Here. Here's a random
name that we did not anticipate that would pop up
(32:54):
on the show in this story. Joey Gallo. Good name
is Joey Not a good player? Joey Gallop played briefly
with the Dodgers, but I think he's on the Nationals
this year. But that's apparently was all planned. So Nozletov, congratulations.
Wonder how Joey Gallo felt when the entire internet was
(33:15):
convinced that his lady friend was having the child of
Mark Davis. Wow, all right, it is the Ben Mahler Show.

Page down Home Run King Big Al from ferg Dog Forever,
Little League Legend Big Al Steve Carlton guessed by Alf
the alien O Punter, and I apologize Al because I
did not read his fun fact. I read someone that
sent me a pimple fun fact at the bottom of

it's a bad job, but you did not get it right.
The correct answer to the Insta trivia would be none
other than Julio Turan eight years ago, years ago, and
prior to that it was twenty oh seven, which almost
twenty years.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we got degree,
Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Is one gets great? The coop oh loop? Justin Cook?
Well then last night.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
Notwithstanding the it is being suggested that a lot of
the credit for the success of the Mavericks this season
is the maturation of Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
And how he has a new mindset and approach to
the game. Do you agree with that? No, I don't.
In the ultimate test, if Dallas does get to the
finals and Kyrie has asked about geo global politics and
in neverly the fans in Boston are going to boo
him and then he's going to play the race card
(37:32):
from the bottom of the deck. And so yeah, I'm
not convinced. No, it's possible. I mean, he's on some
he's got some therapy and some meds or whatever. I
don't know, but I don't believe it. I don't bite it.
He's done, okay, but it ain't over yet.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Next Giants defensive end Keevon Thibodeau, has had four sacks
as a rookie in twenty twenty two and then jumped
up an to eleven and a half in twenty twenty three,
the last season. He began a recent press conference by
saying that he going for Michael Strahan's record this season.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Ben, do you think he has that potential? Oh, that's
so wonderful for him to do that. It's great that
he wants to set straight hands record, which is a
bogus record. I remember I was doing sports radio when
Brett Farv took a dive for Michael Strahan. I remember that.
But yeah, if he gets a quarterback to take a
dive for him and Hey, he plays an extra game.
The Giant straighthan did it in sixteen games, and Keban
(38:25):
Thibodeau is going to play seventeen games assuming he stays healthy,
So why not. I don't think that's only a record.
The Sack's only been around since nineteen eighty two, so
it's not like it's a record that goes back and
that was set probably twenty years ago. It's a record
that's not that old. Next.
Speaker 6 (38:39):
Baseball is known for its wacky injuries off the field,
and the one of the latest comes from Miguel sone
of the Angels. Snow suffered an injury set back this
week by keeping a heating pad on his knee too
long and causing burns. Yeah, I've ben, what's your favorite
wacky baseball injury?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Well I could. Me and the Segur used to go
back and forth with stupid baseball, And my favorite right
now at the top of my head is there was
a player for the Brewers years ago named Richie Sexon
in spring training. He shows up, he's working out with
a team and he has these horrible headaches. They're thinking,
oh my god, he might have brain cancer. It turned
out that he just wore a hat that was too small.
(39:16):
He's so stupid. Anyway, there it is, Malind thirty gree
How do we know you pass all time wins King,
The wins King Garcia whoo
Hello and welcome. It's our numb Bird two talking pro
bouncy ball in our number two here original recipe podcast,
and we talk about the rumor of the day out
of Philadelphia. Would the Miami Heat boss pat Riley be
willing to trade Jimmy Butler to the Sixers? Jimmy Buckets
(00:24):
used to play in Philadelphia. Also, what is the word
for Bronnie James limiting his workouts before the draft to
just the Lakers and the Suns? And is lebron James
seriously interested in a job transfer to Phoenix and what
will be required in that. We'll discuss all of those things. Also,
(00:45):
we blow up the international line. We have great motivational
wisdom as well this hour. You'll have to hear it
all right now here. It is our number two the
Game of Musical Chairs. It has not started yet, but
it's this close. Wel come in the beginning of another
(01:06):
hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the
air everywhere making life interesting unless we're not, as we
make good sports takes even better. Take that Eddie coast,
the coast, border, the border and beyond on the beast
and impressively powerful microphones of fs are emmating live from
(01:33):
the experience, the learning experience. We are broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in starars.
Andre from the Commonwealth has had about ten thousand students
(01:56):
over there, ten thousand in stars. Tyraq dot com. The
way tire buying should be our lead. This hour from
the Chatterbox. That's what we do it. We're a big chatterbox.
Now it's working over time pro bouncy ball. We're not
going to revisit the Minnesota basketball team winning and staving
(02:16):
off elimination in Game four, Dallas still up three to one,
they go back to Minnesota. Back to Minnesota for an
opportunity to rise up one more time and force than
the game six. You see, that works there and with
every win things get ratcheted up for the Dallas basketball team.
But this is not about that. The on court drama
(02:38):
has been not very good. There's been a drought. We're
in a drought for on court drama. We need El Nino,
who used to be a call of the show El Nino,
to save the day. Now the speculation chatterbox is where
the drama orama is in. It's filling the void. A
lot of noise coming out of Philadelphia every single day.
(02:58):
There's a different story. There was a room a couple
of days ago that Paul George of the People's Team
is going to leave la his homeland, to go to
the city of brother in Love. Then there was Lebron James,
and we spin the wheel round and round round. The
wheel goes around and we stop at another name for
the Sixers. If you have not been following, this one
(03:22):
is pretty good. It is more realistic than Lebron James.
As we pointed out, Lebron James, he don't play a
town like Philadelphi. He wouldn't play in a place like Philly,
New York, Boston. He just can't handle it. He's soft.
That's the reality of the situation when it comes to criticism.
He's not someone wired for a town like that, and
that's why he hasn't gone to a team like the
(03:43):
Knicks or the Celtics. He's had opportunities during the course
of his career. But this is about the Sixers, So
the seventy six Ers. If you didn't see this they
are interested in Jimmy Buckets, Jimmy Butler a reunion. He
played there, He played there six years ago. He played there.
A little birdie has been chirping, trip trip trip, just
(04:04):
like that. That's what it sounds like, drip trip trip.
Little Birdie's been chirping that. The Sixers are prepared to
offer Jimmy Buckets the max extension Max max max. If
the Heat end up beating a plan ball, he'd have
to trade. They have to be willing to trade Jimmy
Butler to an Eastern Conference rival and send him back
(04:27):
to the Delaware Valley. So let us discuss the question,
would Miami Boss pat Riley trade Jimmy Butler to the
seventy six ers. We'll keep it simple, So I've got
magic eight ball, jerry mandering, and puppeteering, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a walk off celebration. That's what we're gonna do,
(04:51):
walk off and celebrate good times. So number woman, all right,
this one is a little more complicated than most, a
little more complicated than most. But to answer the question,
would pat Riley actually do it? Would he pulled the
trigger on a deal that would send Jimmy buckets to Philadelphia.
(05:15):
It's complicated because we love Butler. He's got gut Skyle,
he's got moxie, all that stuff, all those big words,
he's got all that love. The way he plays. The
Sixers would first of all have to admit that they
screwed up not keeping Jimmy Butler. If you bring him back,
you're admitting U fed up, which is hard to do.
But there were different people in charge back when Jimmy
(05:37):
Butler left the Sixers to go on his merry way
around the NBA. But Butler's approach is necessary in Philadelphia
because they need what the old Coastal Carolina coach said
years ago, right, be a dog. They need dogs. They
need They not cast me outs, they don't need know me.
(06:00):
They need dogs. And he's a dog, all right, and
not the kind of dog with fleas. He's got all
his shots. Jimmy Butler, he's he's got the dog in him.
He does. That's I think that's d A W G.
That's spelling, not the dog spelling of dog. But the
question was asked to pat Riley and Ryle's publicly shot
(06:23):
down the premise of the question the idea that Jimmy
Butler would leave and be sent out of Miami to Philadelphia.
But later on he left the door open. So you're
saying there's a chance. And now asking my friend the
magic gate ball. We asked the magic gate ball, should you,
(06:45):
pat Riley, trade Jimmy Butler to Philadelphia? The magic gate
ball says, signs point to yes, Signs point to yes.
Is the now we do have a believer. Do not
let a falling star fall on you. Right, Jimmy Butler
(07:08):
is a human cannonball the way that he plays, But
he's also in his mid thirties and outside of Lebron
James and a few other athletes that have been able
to find certain enhancers, that is a tough combo. That
is a tough combo dish in terms of longevity. All right, Now,
(07:30):
page two, we go to the draft, which is coming.
I know you're excited about. No, you're not excited about. Okay,
bout job, but America's favorite projected second round pick is
yet again in the headlines. For a guy that's not
very good at basketball, this cat is great at content engagement.
(07:52):
Bronnie James, what is he doing now? I remember Bronnie
James talked earlier about how tough his life was being
the son of a bill Here and Bronnie James is
attempting to hand pick hand pick his landing spot during
the upcoming draft. It's less than a month away. Now
we are told that Bronnie James was originally going to
(08:15):
work out for ten franchises in the Cartela Basketball Ten.
It's a lot. There's only thirty teams in the NBA.
He was gonna work out for ten of them. But
since has had a change of heart, Bronnie James has
decided that he is going to reject eight of the
ten that he had previously agreed to work out for. Now,
(08:37):
Shams Sharania Sharania says that the remaining two teams on
the big board are the Purple and Gold team and
the Purple and Orange team. That's it. So what is
the word? What is the word for Bronnie James limiting
(08:58):
his NBA draft workout to the Lakers and the Suns.
So the word is actually two words. It's political bull
crap is the words I have political bull crap, and
it is jerry mandering, which everyone does in politics. The
team read the team Blue, everyone does it. Scroannie Brownie
(09:19):
is attempting here to read district where he plays basketball,
and he's using the muscle of the family business to
limit his options here. And that, as they said in
that movie back of the that's a bull move, Cotton,
that is a bull move. It'd be one thing if
you were good. Now, I've always had a problem with this.
(09:40):
I called Eli Manning the punk his entire career because
he punked out. I'm playing for the old San Diego Chargers,
and I stand by that he's a punk. Eli Manning, Elijah,
there's that. But it's one thing if you actually have ability.
But we've seen no evidence that Bronnie James, other than
getting in the right genetic lottery his father is a billionaire,
(10:03):
that he can actually play at a high level. I
did see him in college basketball average less than five
points a game as a backup on a sub five
hundred team at the University of Southern California. So the
Whispering Tree does hint that the Sons are legitimately considering
drafting Bronnie James for no other reason than to convince
(10:27):
his papa to come to Arizona. That that is it
like they admit that they know behind closed doors Bron
James can't play, but they also know his father can
sell a lot of tickets and create a little buzz
and hype and all that stuff. And so that is
actually the final part of this puzzle as we wind
(10:49):
our way through the NBA conversation. So with Bronni limiting
his options to La La Land and the land of
the that's it. The question must be asked, thumbs up
or thumbs down? Is Lebron James interested in a job
(11:09):
transfer to Phoenix? And there's only one way to answer
this giant thumbs up. Giant thumbs up on this one.
That's it. That's the only way to answer this giant
thumbs up. For years, this goes back at least four years,
probably longer, probably longer, but at least four years. I
(11:33):
have heard from people who know more than I and
like to tell me they know more than I that
this has always been the plan, that Lebron it's an
open secret that Lebron would like to be teammates with Bronni.
And why wouldn't he be? Right, father's son, two man
show coming to an arena near you? So how would
(11:54):
this work? I'll tell you this would be like a
master card commercial. I can see it right now. Flight
from Lax to Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, one way
ticket eighty two dollars. Signing a veteran minimum contract, which
(12:15):
Lebron would have to do, would cost him fifty plus
million dollars in salary that Lebron would leave on the table.
But playing in the NBA as a father son combo priceless, right,
can't you see the commercial? I could see the commercial.
There are some things that money can buy. I can't
buy him. But for everything else, there's that credit card, right, yeah, exactly. Anyway,
(12:40):
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like
to be part you can join us here. Speakeasy rules
are in effect. We're also on ex at Ben Mahlor.
That is at Ben Mahlor if you'd like to be
part of the program. That fashion accessory story. Micah Parsons,
who during the day plays for the Dallas Cowboys, but
(13:01):
he showed up at the Mavericks game last night and
he had a Mavericks jersey, had a Luka Doncic Jersey said, okay, good,
he's a Maverick fan. He's supporting the Dallas team. He
plays in Dallas, but there are photos of him in
a Sixers jersey he played and he's from that area,
which is said, okay, that's fine. But then he's also
(13:22):
got photos of him in Celtic memorabile. He's he reminds
me of Justin Bieber, Remember when years ago Bieber would
wear all these different hockey jerseys and just show up.
Or Snoop Dogg does the same thing. If you give
Snoop Dogg a check, he will wear any laundry you
give him. He does not have any There's no shame
in his game. No shame in his game. So Micah
(13:43):
parsons being ripped apart for wearing a Maverick jersey after
wearing a Sixer jersey and a Celtic jersey. Maybe he
just likes jerseys. He doesn't like any of those teams.
He just happens to like wearing jersey. That's a possibility.
So we mentioned the Bronnie g story Iscronnie BROWNI and
that being a political bull crab. Well there is more
(14:06):
more of that to playing politics. Well we'll get to
that end. We can further update a malord follow up
on a gossip story that took a wild turn involving
a high rank NFL official. We'll go there as well,
and we will do it next.

Kevin Durant and the Suns. It would be better for
Lebron if the Lakers end up drafting Bronni James. That
would oh my god, that would be so good for
the financially for the Brown But if you look at
the the draft. The Lakers generally don't keep many of
their picks. They usually end up trading their picks. That's
(16:35):
normally how they do they operate there. The Lakers in
this draft do not have a first round pick, and
I think they have you can always buy a second
round pick. I don't think they have a second round pick.
I have one. They picked fifty six. That's it. That's all.
(16:55):
Very excited. Go to the phones international line, We go
to Australia and we sallo to the caller known as
Ozzie Momentum. Even though there is no momentum in sports,
there is Ozzie momentum. Hello, Ozzie Momentum. Hold on, make
sure I pushed the Ryan LB. Hello, Ozzie momentum. Are
you there, Ozzie Momentum?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Good I day and hey, galling night. Just pay a minute.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
It has been Oh I was any better. I would
be a pacer, but not an Indiana pacer because they've
been eliminated.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
It's been in such a while being around traveling.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
But where have you been traveling? Where have you been going?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
My I've been to knowing different countries in the last
nine months, but.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Just just with my work.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Well, thanks for thanks for coming by and visiting. It
was nice to see you.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I was actually in the date of Iniquity. I ended
up in Houston.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh man, you're your Your company must hate you. If
they sent you to Houston, they must they wanted to
punish you.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, Now it must have been a good barbecue. That
Texas barbecue better than that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Uh. Well, what do you like barbecue kangaroo or something
like that? What do you guys barbecue?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Yeah, we we barbecue kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
How do How does it taste like? What's it taste like?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
It's a big game. It's like deer, Like, have you
ever had deer?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
We call it?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
No, you like it?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Do you? You?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
What if you put sauce on it? Does it taste fine?
If you put sauce on.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Kangaroo, a Maronite Maronite in like a barbecue type sauce thing.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
That's what That's how I usually have it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Anyway, Well, you might be shaking your head, but this
is the kind of content we need on the show,
is that we need to know how to properly make
a kangaroo. Very strong animals of the kangaroo naturally, they're
born naturally. I don't think they work out right, Osie momentum.
They're just naturally strong.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Yeah, did I have a question and they will beat
the piece out of you.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Sorry, yep.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
What does a kangaroo sound like?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
What is it sandlo like?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Great question, great question.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Tackling the big issues.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Like you can't. They don't really make much of a
noise other than a chewing sort of a noise.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Now I've heard We've had several listeners over the years.
They pointed out in fact, Ozzie was one of your
rivals who lives in Western Australia, says he's had his
car attacked while listening to the show driving at night
because kangaroos run at cars that have their lights on.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
My kangaroos are idiots. They look cute and I ah,
and I will bake the piece out of you if
I get change get a wrong one. But I'm telling
you that that he did rot.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Okay, all right, we've confirmed tweet that out who We
have confirmed via our international line that kangaroos are moras.
So usually what I do, Ozzie momentum is if I
want to goof on someone to make fun of them
and say they're stupid. I ca him a donkey, But
should I call him a kangaroo instead? Would that be
more appropriate?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, you call him a bloody ruth, Your bloody ruth.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Your bloody, bloody rouse. Okay, Bo's got a sound to it.
Eddie liked that. Eddie approved, He thought that was good.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Well, that's the my thing. He's the voice of raising.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Stop you stop that down under him. He doesn't even
know who you are, Ozzie. Momentum, you are nothing to happen.
It's true. In fact, he tells me he hates you.
He doesn't like your accent. That's what he told you.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
He wouldn't be the first person to hate me, So
that's not true.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now he's trying, he's trying to suck up. We know
the truth. That we know the truth.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Yes, Pin, Well, look, I wanted.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
To call you a couple of weeks a guy. Actually
I've got This is more of a question for the
rest of the crew, if that's okay, particularly keeping Eddie goy.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
What do you prefer?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Do you prefer the clippers of old when they were
like it just trash and they couldn't win games at all?
And they and nobody sort of looked at them or anything.
Or do you prefer them now where they make the
playoffs and absolutely embarrass themselves every single time and make
everybody dumb.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm offended by your question.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know what you are.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
You're a kangaroo, is what you are? Bloody bloody roue.
You're a bloody ruse. What you are, bloody rue.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
But I'm serious.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I want to know the answer, which do you prefer?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I would I personally prefer the playoff choking clippers. That's
a dumb question. It's obviously better that they think they
can win every year and they eat. That's an e.
That's a that's an easy question. That's a moronic ques.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
It's not it's not necessarily an easy question. It's an
easy question, no, if you if you think about it.
And and I don't know this for a fact, because
when I started working here was kind of when the Clippers,
you know.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
They're sent to They're in La, sent to a playoffs,
foking team. They got the greatest taj mahal of Steve Ber.
When I started working here is when lob City started.
So great memories.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
It's more hilarious to see the like crushing pain of
the choking in the playoffs. Uh, the fact that they're
good most of the season makes Ben very annoying most
of the season. But I wasn't here before when they
were just utter garbage, so I don't know how Ben
acted back then.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It was the famous show when they they lost the
Cleveland and Cleveland had set they were like one loss
away from setting the North American record for losses for
a team. And I did the whole show with a
paper bag in my head and I'm so stupid. There
were no cameras and I still wore the paper bag
(22:50):
of He's a moron. I'm a bloody rue. Ozzie momentum
is what I am, a bloody rue.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I think great though we can all agree that even
eats that block of the year you are unbearable to listen,
you know, to work with and to listen to that,
you know, the playoff agony.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
That you go through, the agony. Yeah, you're right, you're right.
I wish Doc Rivers are still coaching.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
It's my favorite night was when they lost and then
played that clip of Dock and then he cursed on
the air.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
That's the last thing I did not say the one
one thousand and two one thousand. He just said that.
Believe that's the last time I cursed on the air.
It was Doc Rivers. Yeah, all right, you've wasted the
entire segment momentum. Congratulations. It's only cost you like seven
hundred dollars to call us, but.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Think completely worth it.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Thanks God. Yeah, go go away. By the way, great phone. Yes,
I'm man. That's better than some people that call us
from La fantastic hollering James, he's like to eat the
I'm man holler and James. It is the Ben Maler Show.
We'll talk to more of these jamokes. I gotta add
that bloody roo you ever heard that before? We better
(24:07):
check it might mean something really bad. Kangaroo about that.
Let's check that the Urban Dictionary of Australia to see
if it means something else. You know, it might mean
something else. You know. You just got to make sure
you say it with the accent.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
You have to.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You go ahead, say it your bloody roue. That's good, good,
that's pretty good. Yeah, bloody rue about that? I do
a good Australian, right, I bet you could find a kangaroo.
I'm getting up early tomorrow ready because I got called
out of the bullpen. I'll be on the radio and
New Zealand tomorrow. Oh wow, ye Darcy. No, no, Darcy
(24:45):
is doing like news talk. My old buddy Darcy is
doing news talk. So I'm And he was actually in
the States, but he didn't didn't visit La. He was
in San Francisco. His former girlfriend lives in San Francisco,
so they rekindled. I don't know. I don't know all
the details. I probably shouldn't any but they hung out
together at least. And yeah, I'm going on with Scotty
(25:06):
and Izzy, the Scotty and Izzy Show, Eddie, Oh, the
world famous Scotti and Izzy Show. It's Scotty and Easy
for breakfast. I'll be honest. I do regret when I
took my trip to Australia that we did not go
to New Zealand. Yeah, it was right there, although it's
a several hour flight. Yeah, on the map it's right there,
but it's still a decent sized flight to get from
what It depends what part you're going to obviously, anyway,
(25:27):
it is the ben Malos Scholzics. Some more of these
amazing phone calls and all of that wonderful, wonderful stuff
that's all mixed into the sauce. All of it's in
the sauce. But right now, let's get you caught about
everything going on in the overnight. We say lo to
games of note, Garcia Ya.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
All right, thank you, Ben. We start in the NBA
Game four Western Conference Finals. The Timberwolves stay alive with
a one oh five, one hundred victory in Dallas over
the Mavericks Anthony Edwards twenty nine points and ten rebounds,
Karl Anthony Town's twenty five points and the win from
Minnesota for Dallas their big two Luka Dancic twenty eight points,
fifteen bounds. Kyrie, you are being just sixteen points in
that loss. Derek Leipley, by the way, did not play
for Dallas. Remember he took that knee of the head
(26:06):
in game number three. Dallas still has the three one series.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
My head, Eddy, oh, my head. You already play the SoundBite,
don't you? No, it's well you can't. It is a
good sound Back Friday Friday, we will have a game.
Do you see that? No? No, I need to check
it out, just that scene. It's wonderful. Game five Thursday
in Minneapolis. I think the they filmed that in one
(26:31):
street in La right, and don't like one of the houses.
It's like a cult following the movie Friday. But I
saw something online that one of the people that live
in the house is like charges people to take photos
of their house. How do they? I don't know how
they pull that off. I mean, just well, it's the
same concept as I can. You go to Vegas and
they have the person dressed as Mickey Mouse and they
(26:51):
if you don't pay them, they come out and punch you.
And you know, I don't that doesn't seem probably in
that street performers that attack. It happens here in Hollywood too.
I bet they have op stuff too. Yeah, every once
in a while the attack. It's hilarious because they're wearing
their costumes. I saw that in Times Square when I
went to Yeah, same thing in Time and I didn't
see any of them attacking anymore. Is the naked cowboy
still in Times Square? He was not there. He's got
(27:12):
to be like sixty at this point, seventy naked cowboy man.
We have our own cowboy and he's not naked as
far as we know. No, we need cowboy John brad
to bless us with a phone call.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific One.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Not from the NFL, the Houston Texans and wide receiver
Nico Collins agreed to terms on a three year extension
worth seventy two points seventy five million, slightly less than
what we make here a fifty two million guaranteed for
Nico Collins.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
All right, thank you for that, Eddie. And here's a
fun fact, maler fun fact. This was sent in by Mike.
I don't know why Mike sentis in. It is not
a sports fun fact, but he says, if you get
a pimple, just pour alcohol on it and'll dry up
and fade away real quick. Well that is very Isn't
(28:01):
that a fun fact? If you ever got a people, So,
we had the caller last hour, what would you say?
I don't know. We had the cal last listening to Eddie.
I don't know. Not this one.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
We had the caller last hour talking about Josh Gibson. Yes, uh,
he only had one hundred and sixty six career home runs.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You're a hater, Eddie. No, I thought it was a
lot more than that. It's like Hack Wilson, who hit
had the most RBIs in one season, but other than that,
was an alcoholic and didn't do you have a bunch
of doubles to Hack Wilson. Wilson double doubles too. Oh
RBIs that's an unbreakable right, one hundred and ninety RBIs
for the Chicago Cups, little small fat guy, Hack Wilson. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(28:37):
stocky little dude. Yeah. Anyway, it is the Ben Malas.
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Yenie Meenie miney mo. Let's say hello to Fallon, who
is in in Fremont. Hello, Fallon, Welcome, Welcome, Hi. Then
how are you? If I was any better, I would
(28:58):
be andy, But not any comic book guy because he's
a dope and he's sending me a lot of evil
messages on social media.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
So okay, well that sounds pretty good. I just wanted
to say a couple of things that are a little
bit motivational, just to along the lines of trusting your instincts.
I just want to say that if you guys have
a weird feeling that you should leave somewhere.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
You should leave.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
And if you have an inkling that you should bet
on something, you should bet. And if you if someone
is making you feel uneasy, don't trust them. Just basically
trust what you were born with. It is inside you.
For a reason. You are not overthinking.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You were just fell did you?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Did you send me the message about the pimple? Are
you the one that sent that to me? No, you
didn't send that to me. But that was that was
not you, Okay.
Speaker 8 (29:47):
I was just trying to tell you you're you're.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Spreading positivity and that I'm trust yourself. That's all. Now.
Have you ever bet and won a lot of money
because you try yourself? Have you done that?
Speaker 8 (30:01):
Well, I've not listened to myself. When I had a
good one time, I went to Vegas for my first
time and I was going to bet all of my
money on in uh, what's that thond called roulette? Yes,
twenty two And I was going to bet like I think,
forty dollars on it, and it landed on that. But
right before it landed on that, my boyfriend had said
(30:22):
to spread it around because that's not how you play that.
You should move it around and like share it.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Basically, I'm sure you probably dumped him after that, right,
because that's no I did it. You did, not that one.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
I did shuck.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Okay, yeah. I usually when I play Roulette, I'm just
usually written like betting, like red or black, and that's it,
you know, otter even that's yeah, I play.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
I had a good feeling about Black twenty two.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
What can I say?
Speaker 8 (30:47):
But all I'm saying is it like in like social
situations and just like anywhere, sometimes you get a weird feeling.
You should leave if you feel that.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Can I ask you a question? Yes, why are you
calling the show.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
Just because I think it's cool?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I was just wondering. I mean, I'm very kind of
you to do that. I was. Nobody put you up
to this, right, No one forced you to make this.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Phone call to join on in everyone. There's all these
different personalities.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
That's right, Look at that you can be We'll have
to come up with if you call that one call.
You don't get a nickname, you know that, right, You
can't get a nickname after one.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
But my name starts with the S, and the sitting
I'm from starts with the F. So that's kind of.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Has a ring to it okay, which says, what's this?
A Fallon is Falon? We could name her after a
boat like s S. Fallon. Well, she's got to calls
Frank Fallen, I said, Fallon, would you be s S
because it's a boat. What does that have to do
with it? I'm confused? You agree, right, Fallon? Eddie's a cheater? Yes, yes,
(31:48):
all right, you know what. I'm giving her a golden ticket, Eddie,
she gets a gold bring home your points. She didn't
you said, she doesn't know who you are, Dye, but

she's not why she doesn't know who I am? You
just were yeah? No, all right, well fell all right, motivational.
(32:11):
If you call more often, we'll get you a nickname. Right,
thank you, hanging up on you go away? All right?
It is the Ben Mahler Show. So the gossip pages.
Remember the story we talked about the other day. There
was a rumor about a month ago that Mark Davis
had impregnated some influencer that we didn't really know who
she was or whatever, because she sat next to him
at a Raiders game. Well, it turns out the woman
(32:32):
is pregnant. That was not It was not a fake
like baby bump or anything like that. But it turns
out that the Raiders owner, who is almost seventy, was
not the one that impregnated the influencer. It turns out
that she was hanging out with Here. Here's a random
name that we did not anticipate that would pop up
(32:54):
on the show in this story. Joey Gallo. Good name
is Joey Not a good player? Joey Gallop played briefly
with the Dodgers, but I think he's on the Nationals
this year. But that's apparently was all planned. So Nozletov, congratulations.
Wonder how Joey Gallo felt when the entire internet was
(33:15):
convinced that his lady friend was having the child of
Mark Davis. Wow, all right, it is the Ben Mahler Show.

(35:13):
Abernathy from a Reek in Minnesota who hates me and
likes Eddie and Mike Harmon. Who else do we have?
Page down, page down? The Sawman in Mississippi says the
answer is no one has ever done it. Don't you
know their arm would fall off if they tried such
a thing, says the Sawman. Milkman Mike in Colorado says
(35:36):
it's Joey Callo, not Gallo, that that is the answer.
Page down Home Run King Big Al from ferg Dog Forever,
Little League Legend Big Al Steve Carlton guessed by Alf
the alien O Punter, and I apologize Al because I
did not read his fun fact. I read someone that
sent me a pimple fun fact at the bottom of
(35:57):
this hour Bad job by Me Brooklyn Brawler guests by
in Vegas Late Night Drug Tester says a scary spice
who's forty nine today. Oh my god, it dinosaur. Who

Oh, I'm gonna go with former Atlanta Brave legend Paul
austen Macher.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Austin Macher had the beard, the whole thing. That is incorrect, though, Ron,
it's a bad job, but you did not get it right.
The correct answer to the Insta trivia would be none
other than Julio Turan eight years ago, years ago, and
prior to that it was twenty oh seven, which almost
twenty years.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we got degree,
Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Is one gets great? The coop oh loop? Justin Cook?
Well then last night.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
Notwithstanding the it is being suggested that a lot of
the credit for the success of the Mavericks this season
is the maturation of Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
And how he has a new mindset and approach to
the game. Do you agree with that? No, I don't.
In the ultimate test, if Dallas does get to the
finals and Kyrie has asked about geo global politics and
in neverly the fans in Boston are going to boo
him and then he's going to play the race card
(37:32):
from the bottom of the deck. And so yeah, I'm
not convinced. No, it's possible. I mean, he's on some
he's got some therapy and some meds or whatever. I
don't know, but I don't believe it. I don't bite it.
He's done, okay, but it ain't over yet.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Next Giants defensive end Keevon Thibodeau, has had four sacks
as a rookie in twenty twenty two and then jumped
up an to eleven and a half in twenty twenty three,
the last season. He began a recent press conference by
saying that he going for Michael Strahan's record this season.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Ben, do you think he has that potential? Oh, that's
so wonderful for him to do that. It's great that
he wants to set straight hands record, which is a
bogus record. I remember I was doing sports radio when
Brett Farv took a dive for Michael Strahan. I remember that.
But yeah, if he gets a quarterback to take a
dive for him and Hey, he plays an extra game.
The Giant straighthan did it in sixteen games, and Keban
(38:25):
Thibodeau is going to play seventeen games assuming he stays healthy,
So why not. I don't think that's only a record.
The Sack's only been around since nineteen eighty two, so
it's not like it's a record that goes back and
that was set probably twenty years ago. It's a record
that's not that old. Next.
Speaker 6 (38:39):
Baseball is known for its wacky injuries off the field,
and the one of the latest comes from Miguel sone
of the Angels. Snow suffered an injury set back this
week by keeping a heating pad on his knee too
long and causing burns. Yeah, I've ben, what's your favorite
wacky baseball injury?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Well I could. Me and the Segur used to go
back and forth with stupid baseball, And my favorite right
now at the top of my head is there was
a player for the Brewers years ago named Richie Sexon
in spring training. He shows up, he's working out with
a team and he has these horrible headaches. They're thinking,
oh my god, he might have brain cancer. It turned
out that he just wore a hat that was too small.
(39:16):
He's so stupid. Anyway, there it is, Malind thirty gree
