Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our dub bird too. You should never believe the media.
They're all smoking magic mushrooms. Do you see the story
on LA How surprised are you that Dan Hurley has
emerged as a front runner for the Laker coaching job.
What the heck happened to JJ Reddick's status as the
front runner? And reports also say Lebron James hasn't talked
(00:24):
to Laker brass about Dan Hurley or JJ Reddick? Do
you believe that report? All of it and more come
in your way right now here. It is our number.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Two, the old Switcher room.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Wel come, in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
We are in the air everywhere ear plug play, fellas
as we are high falutin coast to coast, porter to
border and beyond, and on the mast and uncommonly powerful
microphones of fsre emmating live.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
From the carousel, the coaching carousel. We're broadcasting live from

That's not ten thousand calories. Robbie the Mariner fan ten
(01:29):
thousand recommended installers tyre ract dot com the way tire
buying should be my kid because I care. As my
old buddy Chris Myers would say.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Our lead this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball, but
not Game one of the Celtics that not much of
a talker. Boston came out, kicked the snot out of
the Mavericks in the first quarter and just played keep
away the rest of the game, and so the Celtics
have first blood. They're up, won nothing over the Mavericks.
We'll have to wait another two weeks before Game two
(02:03):
of the finals. But I leave this hour from Los Angeles.
We have a traumatic plot twist in Lakerland. And if
you did not hear, maybe not. This came down just
after we ended our show. Of course, I'd like to
thank all the people that put these stories out within
an hour of when I leave the radio station, So
(02:23):
thank you for that. But we learned that the team
from Minneapolis that relocated to Los Angeles and calls themselves
the Lakers, good luck finding a decent lake in Los
Angeles anyway. The Lakers have called an audible Omaha omaha, olmah, No,
they're going Connecticut, Connecticut, Connecticut, as they have pivoted away
(02:45):
from JJ Reddick and are now burn dogging, burn dogging
Yukon hoops coach Dan Hurley, who goofed.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I've got to know now.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
The word on the street is that Hurley is flying
to the People's Republic of California for a meet and
greet with Lakers GM Rob Skinny Jeans, Polinka and owner
Jennie Buss about taking over as the head coach. That'll
be today by the end of the night. By the
(03:18):
end of the night here on Friday, this is possibly
a done deal. Hurley has been offered a massive long
term contract the coach in Los Angeles. The Lakers are
trying to get the deal wrapped up with Dan Hurley,
certainly by the end of the weekend. But let us
discuss the question, how surprised are you that Dan Hurley,
(03:42):
the man that wanted nothing to do with Kentucky and
talk time and again about how he was happy.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
At Connecticut, he didn't want to go anywhere, that he.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Has emerged as a Laker candidate and a serious threat
to take overs that coach.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So I've got Dragons, Sinatra.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And the Pony Express, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make pastrami fries. Now,
if you haven't had pastrami fries, you're really missing out.
I'm gonna get some. I'm gonna get some this weekend.
At some point, I'm gonna get my pastrami fries.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Not number to answer the question, how surprised.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Are you that Dan Hurley has emerged as the Lakers
coaching candidate. We certainly did not have this on our
bingo card, And yes I did. I did question the
people that have been feeding me jj Reddick, telling me
jj Reddick the talk was barring a snaffo and was
going to be jj Reddick. Well, welcome into the chat snaffo.
(04:55):
How do you do now? Hurley came out of thin air.
I came out of there and thin air. Now the question,
there's a lot of questions I have, but a question
I would like to throw out to the classes. Is
he the one that contacted the Lakers first? Is he
the one that had interest in the Laker job. It's
very sorry, and why would you want that job? The
(05:16):
brons old Anthony Davis is undependable they don't have a
lot of draft capital. As the kids like to say,
it's not a great job. They fire coaches every two years.
You have a fan base which is just terrible to
deal with. They're like the Dallas Cowboy fans, except worse.
So why would you want that job? And the Lakers
(05:40):
have spent the last couple of weeks hand crafting tall
tales about the greatness of JJ Reddick, leaking stories to
their useful idiots in the media about him being the
next great coach, the next pat Riley. How do you
not hire the next pat Riley? And then all the sudden,
(06:01):
here be dragons. Where did the dragons come from? How
did they get there? I don't know, but Dan Hurley
and I don't like this story because I actually like
Dan Hurley. I think he's really good. He's a proven
college coach. Now there's always the wild card. It's the
NBA that's a wild card. And we have talked to
(06:22):
people about the situation and they're like, well, yeah, maybe
his wife changed her mind, or you know, this is
the powerball situation, and that's really to me what this
is about. We often mentioned people being stuck between the
devil and the deep Blue Sea. Right, you're stuck between
two really bad, tough decisions. But Dan Hurley is stuck
(06:43):
between being a tycoon and an aristocrat. He's in the
high rank district. He's already well paid, and either way
he's going to be richer than Scrooge mcduc Hurley. Dan
Hurley has yukon'rowing more money. The word on the street
is that Yukon is desperately putting their booster team together
(07:06):
trying to come up with some more shekels to pay
Dan Hurley here and keep him away from the Lakers.
The Lakers would then have to up their offer. Now
another question I have is this trickeration. Could Dan Hurley
be bluffing? Is this a play to squeeze even more
money out of Yukon. And at this point, now that
(07:27):
the Lakers have put this in the public square, if
Dan Hurley comes to LA and sees all the.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Ridiculousness of Los Angeles, what's going on in LA?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
What a humiliation that would be for the Purple and
Gold if they get rejected that Hurley flies all the
way out, meets with Genie Boss and Rob Skinny Jeans
Polink of the GM and then says yeah, I'm out
and high tails it back to Connecticut. Hurley would be
an even bigger folk hero if he turned the Laker
job down to stay they had a college job, even
(08:02):
a good college job. The fact that this is out there, though,
that this is being publicized, makes me think the Lakers
believe he's wants the job, and he's going to take
the job and it'll be done by the end of today.
College basketball is in a deep dark place. Now are
these end times for college basketball? No, but they ain't
(08:24):
going well, right, It ain't going well. And this is
another example. If Dan Hurley takes the job, even if
he doesn't chake the job, every man, woman and child
has a price. Everyone's got a price. And if the
Lakers meet that price, then he's out of here.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He's gone. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And now page two, what the heck happened to JJ Reddick?
Let's address the Komodo dragon in the room? What the
heck happened to JJ Reddick? And he was the front runner,
He was in the pole position to be Laker coach.
And the people that I trust they said, listen, they
can't hire him right now. They have to wait till
after he's done with ABC for the NBA Finals, And
(09:02):
so you're gonna get a bunch of stories leaked about
how great JJ Redick is and nothing will happen until
after the finals. As Frank Sinatra saying, back in his day,
you're riding high in April, you're shot down in May.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
In this case, you're riding high in May and shot
down in June. That's life.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Is it true that JJ Redick's big mouth got him
in hot water with Laker brass? Could they have finally
heard his fledgling podcast and stupid comments on ABC and said,
we don't want to hire this guy. The guy's a bum.
Those cringeworthy loose lips and that arrogance. Did it turn
(09:41):
off someone some click in the Laker building? Is JJ
Reddick going to spin this that he turned the job down?
Is that what he's going to do? Or are the
Lakers merely opportunists suffering from something that a lot of
people have in the dating game, the always something better indrome,
the ASBs always something better syndrome. You're always looking for
(10:04):
the next best thing.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And we will see.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Where the road, the winding road takes us on this story.
But that is nuts when I when I woke up
and I saw what I did.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
A double thing? Eh, hey, what I mean? That is
a crazy ivan, as they used to say back in
the day.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
A right final point, there are reports that indicate Lebron James,
through his buddies, is telling handpicked reporters that Lebron had
not talk to Laker management about Dan Hurley or JJ Reddick.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Do you believe it?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Do you believe that Lebron has nothing to do with
who the Lakers are going to hire?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
So Lebron, I'm agnostic on this.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Lebron is like the CIA, admit nothing, deny everything. Laker
brass are so paranoid that Lebron is going to They
think like no one wants to play for the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Apparently they can't replace them with another star.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That they're at his mercy because Lebron's gonna opt out
of his contract and get the Lakers to pay him
more money. But he won't go there if they don't
draft his kid. It's like a hostage negotiation. You gotta
hire the coach he wants. He got a draft the kid.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
One of the people that I converse with, I text with,
and communicate digitally with was like, well, maybe Lebron he
was just spitball. He's like, well, maybe Lebron just wants
Dan Hurley to coach his kid because he knows the
Lakers are going to draft his kid.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And he thinks that.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Since this is the top college coach, that Dan Hurley
would be able to help the development of Bronnie James,
who averaged less than five points a game on a
sub five hundred USC team in the.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Old Pac twelve.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I'm old enough to remember when that was a viable
conference in college basketball.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And if let's go back to Reddick.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
If Reddick doesn't get the job and Coach K is consulting,
what an atomic elbow to JJ Reddick from Coach K,
that's his guy, that's his boy, right, that's Coach K's guy.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
All right, So Lebron, here's the way I look at this.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Lebron does not directly contact Rob Polenka or Genie Buss.
He could, but he doesn't. What he does is use middleman,
uses intermediaries, and he sends messages via the Pony Express
and message your pigeons to get the word out. He
does that passive aggressive thing on social media where he
(12:31):
sends commentary out. Now he has another platform with his
fledgling podcast. It gives Lebron plausible deniability, which every person
that makes statements, like politicians and people in the public
puplic guy. They want, they want that plausible deniability is
what they would like. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
(12:51):
We would like is for you to be part of
the show. If you want, you don't have to call in.
We got a whole stack of content. But if you

Big bands, Lame jokes of the week, Lame jokes.

A week that'll be coming up for you in a bit.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Several of the brigadier generals in the Malin Militia believe
that we should change lame jokes for the week.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
For years, we used to goof on this.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Picture named Bartolo Cologne back in the day Bartolo Cologne,
a longtime baseball player. Then he retired and we pivoted
to Lizzo and and several of the boys say we
must honor Miss Alabama and she must be the focus
of the jokes.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Did you have you seen this, Eddie?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Yeah, miss it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yes, Miss Alabama, who does not miss a meal. She's
enjoying her live. I mean she looks like I used
to look at it. You knew me when I looked
like that. I never want a beauty contest, but she
won some contest in Alabama apparently, and it's breaking the internet.
I mean, she's bigger on the Internet than everybody, more
(16:34):
ways than one.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
But yeah, so if you.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Want to it's up to the joke writer. I don't
write the jokes. The boys write the jokes, So it's
up to the joke writers. Jordan writes in says that
Joe Burrow has been hacked.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
That is Twitter ex account has been hacked.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Do some recount here, hold on, sick to me see
what's going on with this Joe Burrow account.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
He's known as Joey b on X.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I believe that is his account. The Bengals quarterback. Let's
take a look here and let's see what kind of
hacking is going on for the Bengals quarterback. And uh no,
it looks like I don't see it. Maybe it was
earlier and he deleted it or something like that. I
don't see it right here, So maybe he got some
(17:22):
bogus stuff, bogus information there. Who else to have page down?
Let's see he can't and won't read that one on
the air. There's some bills propaganda from Andy the comic
book guy super Marcus Steve says Dan Hurley didn't want
to coach Bronnie James in college. Why do you think
he would want to coach Bronnie James and the pros? Well,
I could think of eight or nine million dollars a
(17:44):
year as to why he would want to coach Bronnie
James and the pros. Remember the rant that this guy
went on all coaches lie.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We know they're all liars. That's why we're here, and
you idiots, dumb fans like, oh he said it. He
Sunny was never gonna leave. Okay, Remember remember when Kentucky wanted.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
To hire Dan Hurley And what did Dan Hurley do is?
Oh my wife is from New Jersey. She does not
want to live too far from New Jersey. She's not
got no way. Okay, they do have a lot of
flights from LA to the greater metropolitan area of New
York City and the northern New Jersey if you want
to go. What part of New Jersey she's from, maybe
(18:20):
southern New Jersey, which they can also get there as well.
Supermarket Steve says, maybe they heard Reddick's podcast where he
interviewed Dan Hurley Hurley diagram to play and exactly how
they run it. Reddick sounded utterly confused and dumbfounded, it,
says Supermarket ste Well, you're a better man than me.
Supermarket Steve, I have not heard a second of that
(18:42):
podcast other than the clips. I haven't heard a whole
podcast the clips. I didn't see that clip, so I
did not did not see it. Andy the comic book
Guy says, Ben, this is a lot of basketball for
almost two straight hours.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I'm trying to stay awake here. Wow, taking a shot.
That's a cheap shot. Shame on you. We'll take some calls.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
My board is being reset right now as we work
our way through that. The Whammy, the Kiss of Death,
has been put on not only the Edmonton Oilers, but
also the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Who won Game one. Why because Drake.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Drake has bet one dollars combined on the Mavericks to
beat the Celtics and the Oilers to beat the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
In the NBA NHL file. So that's actually the Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That have had the whammy put on them. But he's
spending on the Mavericks and the Oilers. And most of
the time when Drake goes out and makes a prediction
like that, makes a bet, he's like Poppy picking with Poppy,
it does not go that well. I also mentioned this
last hour. I gotta pay this off. So a number
of NBA punt it's the latest. Was Steven A. Smith,
(19:54):
our former morning guy. I don't know what happened if
I'm always working now, but Steven A. Smith is urging
the people that consume his content to ignore this is a quote,
ignore past mistakes of Kyrie Irving, ignore them, Ignore the
past mistakes of Kyrie Irving, says Stephen A. And this
(20:18):
is what I don't get. I don't understand this. I
don't why it feels like this is all orchestrated from
somebody at the NBA, or maybe it's Kyrie Irving's people
around him that we need all these media people that
are all buddy buddies with the players to try to
convince the low information fan. You should forgive Kyrie for
being an anti semi right, you should. You should forgive
(20:39):
Kyrie for all the all the stuff that he's done.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Just forgive him. He's fine. Just tell you have no
problem with it? Really? Okay, that's that seems good? Yeah, Like,
what world are you living in? Like that's not usually
how it works? Am I wrong? Maybe I am wrong?
I have no I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Let's go to Soordia. Who's in the Commonwealth? Hello, SWORDI,
you're welcome.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Mister Ben Maller. How are we doing today, Eddie Garcia,
Lorena cool? How's the crew doing tonight?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I would say Lorain is doing better than any of
us because she's not here.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
But if we were any better, we'd be Luca.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But not Luka Daancik because he did nothing while the
Mavericks were falling behind by twenty nine points, and then
after that, then after that, I started playing.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Okay, the game was over at that point.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Listen, as a Celtics fan, got to love that W.
I mean, we didn't play our greatest, but we'll take
the W. And if Drake's bet on the Mavericks, you'll
love to see it. But Mala, the reason I called
today is, you know, I just don't know why anyone
in their right mind would want to take this Lakers job.
(21:51):
I mean, as we know, and I know you're a
stock guru ballot, but as we know, past performance does
not indicate Huger results. But like, why anyone would take
this job is beyond me.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I mean, listen, soldier, though, listen, I mean, you know,
there's two reasons to take the job two weeks. One
is money, right, a lot of money. The Lakers are
gonna have to pay a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And it's it's ego.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
It's feeding your They're the most popular team in the world.
Come on, I think there's I think there's no stop.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I think there's a soccer there's some soccer teams that
might have an argument.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
I'm talking about in the NBA Bencheese. Yeah, the most
popular team in the world.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Obviously, anybody that takes the job as a giant ego
and their ego maniacs and they're you.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Know, it's like they can it's a flex and early.
I don't know Hurley.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I've only seen him a few interviews over the last
couple years because Connetic has been really good and it
doesn't seem like that kind of.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Guy, so it must be his time.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You're not gonna you're not gonna keep this going at Connectic, right,
They're not going to keep winning championships at that at
the rate they've been winning at And so you cash
your chips in.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You strike while.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
You're at the very top, and you're the hottest coach
out there, right, You're the prettiest person at the bar
and all that stuff, and so there you go.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Yeah, it's just weird to me how this kind of
came out of nowhere. And listen, if I'm any coach,
I wouldn't take this job because you know, Lebron's leaving
in one to two years. He wants to draft his
sun And listen, Lebron and Ad came in as a
package deal. They're gonna leave as a package deal. Right
as soon as Lebron leaves, you know Ad is gonna
(23:34):
leave as well. And we talked about money. I was
telling cool this. You know, I only signed a six year,
thirty two dollar contract last year. And I mean, I
know Connecticut, there's not much going on over there, but
you could buy a great house in Connecticut. I mean
the tax isn't California.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I mean yeah, But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Here's the thing, Sojia, like, you know, there's a lot
of issues in California.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Axes are a problem.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
But if you have a good account and you can,
you can futch around, much like the salary cap in
the NFL, and get out of pay. Rich people don't
pay a lot of taxes, a lot of they don't mean.
There's the ways you get out of it. And you
can have property in other places and get out of it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And you know, if you're you're.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Wealthy, you live in a bubble and you don't see
a lot of the things. You don't have to worry
about the price of gas. If you're making eight nine
million dollars a year, there's nothing to worry about. You're
in a whole different world. It's it's you don't worry
when the price of food goes up.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Who cares?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Listen, Malard, I'm a solid expand and of course I
can't stand the Lakers, but listen, I'm no person. I'm
not a genius, right, But like, if the Lakers actually
want to be a relevant franchise in five to ten years,
they need to start thinking about their future instead of
cow telling to Lebron James. Because listen, history has a
(24:51):
chance of repeating itself after Kobe, the Lakers were irrelevant
for years, and if they want to do the same
thing after Lebron, be my guest, I'll take more joy
in it.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
But again, so you think hiring Dan Hurley is not
the move to stay relevant?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
I mean, if you want another eight seed plan first round?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Oh, look at that Sorgia. Sorgia, that's a hot takes.
I like this guy, Soordia, this guy's good.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Keep going, so you're upsetting Coop.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
Keep going from the plane to the first one. An
could be my good as a Celtics fan, I love it,
you know. So I'm just trying to give you some
unbiased advice. But I guess you know we want to
stay irrelevant for the next ten years.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Be my guest, how old are you, Sogia?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
I am ten twenty seven in March.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
There you go, twenty seven. He's in the prime of
his life here so long.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Yeah, we are in prime time, man, Mallow, we are
in Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Well, I guys, I'm becoming an old geezer. But yes,
all right, well listen, Sorgie, you've upset Coops.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I give you. I'm gonna give you a golden ticket
for that because you annoyed Coop.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
So he was he was eleven the last time the
Celtics won anything.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Oh my god, real, Oh man, I don't like hearing
that either. Yeah, come on cool, I'm just saying, oh no, eleven, God,
you know what I was doing when the Celtics won
the championship.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
You're working here?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yes with me? Oh mercy? Alright.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
A lot of people have been sending this on social media.
Did you see the story of former All Pro Dolphins
corner Xavian Howard. He is apparently in some trouble. He
is alleged to have sent a minor sexually explicit images,
but it's not what you might think. Apparently there were
videos of this boy's mother because he was seeking revenge
(26:55):
on her. Apparently she had refused to get an abortion
when she formed Howard that she was carrying his child. Uh,
this is he's done this before. Apparently there was also
a relationship with a woman in twenty twenty two as well.
Uh so, yeah, he's he's looking for a job former
all pro I'm guessing this isn't gonna help that.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
They say any any publicity is good for this, but
I have.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Never agreed with that, to be honest with you. So yeah,
Xaving Howard is saying that revenge revenge porn. How old
was the kid and they said he was a minor.
I don't know, they didn't say his exact age. I
guess it doesn't you know, not.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Really, I don't really matter. I mean that's kind of
a like people talk about doing that but actually do it.
Like that's uh, you know, I'll get back at that.
But he did it. He did the thing you can't do.
He did it.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Like, yeah, that's a problem. It's a yeah, I mean,
he's not very smart clearly to think that way.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You saying that he's a meathead? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
In more ways than yeah, Okay, well that's that's not fun.
Eddie that's no, it's this. This is fun, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
This is fun. This next thing is very fun. It's
a fun fact. In fact, it is.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Now we are planning a Malor meet and greet in
Lost Wages, Nevada, and several of my homies in Vegas
have let me know that on Thursday, Las Vegas had
the hottest day they've ever seen in the month of June,
one hundred and eleven degrees.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
In Lost Wages, Nevada, one hundred and eleven.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
So, and we're gonna be there when it's the hottest
of the hot like it's usually.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Not that bad in the month of June. Now it's
conceivable they'll get the really hot weather out of the
way and then it'll be nice, like eighty five degrees
when we're doing the Malor Meet and greet in Vegas,
unless it is not. This the Ben Malord Show.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
And just like in basketball, all a successful game plan
starts with the actually, that's incorrect.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I was reading the wrong cut. I was given the
wrong copy. Any bad job who goofed I've got to know.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Wow, we'll edit that in post production. Well, Third Bet Racing,
that's what I wanted to throw out. Third Bet Racing
has a new independent regulator, Haisa Haisa that is in
implementing comprehensive reforms, and the sport is combining hands on
care with cutting edge technology to help keep its athletes safe.
To learn more of VI, is it Safety Runs First
dot Com at Safety Runs First dot Com. I was
fussing around because we are down. We are down to
(29:32):
the final six in Utah.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Do you see this, Eddie? Do you see this?
Speaker 6 (29:38):
I did, and I'm a little annoyed.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I'm not annoyed, Eddie, I'm not annoyed. Let's get Do
you have any music for this? We don't need any
music for this. The NHL team to be named later
we'll find out in a second way.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Eddie's annoyed.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
But they're down to six finalists for the name the
NHL team in Utah down.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
To the final six.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
The group that owns the Utah Utah ja As and
they bought the hockey team from Arizona. Smith Entertainment Group
announced the choices have been narrowed down the thinning of
the herd. The final six are in no particular order,
Utah Hockey Club or Utah HC. Blizzard, which is like
(30:20):
something you'd get at a fast food restaurant Mammoth which
is I think in California Mammoth Mountain, not in Utah Outlaws.
When you think criminals, I think the biggest thugs live
in Utah. Venom of course, also a lot of venom
there and the last one.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
YETI YETI here we go. Just give me a Y,
give me an E, give me a T, give me
an eye? What is that spell? YY? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Ms Cleman would be so happy, my teacher that I
know how to spell YETI, she'd be very happy. Who Well,
it was my teacher back in the day that taught
me how to spell and other things.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
But I should be very happy that I know how
to spell the word YETI, thank God, thank God. It's
got to be YETI. Why would it not be?
Speaker 8 (31:16):
YETI?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Chris Paul has chimed in on the show clipped, which
is what channels? I even know what channels on?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Is it FX? What channels this on? I think?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
So?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Okay, there's a big billboard outside our studios here at
Fox Sports Radio, the iHeartMedia Building, the premiere network's home,
that has a eclipped billboard, and Chris Paul was interviewed recently.
Was asked about it, and he pointed out that it
was not exactly what actually happened. He said he and
(31:49):
his wife watched the first episode. He said it was
kind of cringey, is.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
What what he said.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
My buddy's been trying to get me to watch this.
It is so cringe, but he thinks it's like one
of those so bad it's it's great kind of things. Yeah,
I just.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, I know, I'm not I didn't watch the Laker thing.
I'm not going to watch this. I just I'm not.
I'm not interested. I am acutely aware of what happened.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
Have you seen the pictures or any like clips?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Al Bundy's playing Donald Sterling.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Have you seen the Laurence Fishburn's doc Rivers.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Oh Man.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
He also he Chris Paul said that in the first
episode he watched with his wife, they had a white
party that Donald Sterling used to have, but he stopped
having that by the time the Lobb.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
City Clippers were around. But they wanted to tell the story.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
And it's not a documentary, so I get it. You know,
you're writing the story, you're trying to trying to get
people to watch, and you want to make it more dramatic,
and so you're going to to go down that road.
I understand it, just it's a little tough. And I
did see somebody. I think it was the Great Mike
Harmon sent me a video clip of my guy, Clipper Daryl,
(33:12):
who apparently was in one of the I guess the
first episode they showed a shot of Clipper Dale.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I think he's in the open to the show, Clipper Darrell.
It's kind of exciting.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Did you see who NBC has hired to promote the Olympics?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You see this Eddie who NBC is hired? No, you
have not, all right? You see this Coop? Oh he
hasn't seen Okay, Yeah, NBC has hired.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
The Muppets to promote the upcoming summer Olympics.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
Relevant.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Well, if you're a child.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
That's relevant. But you will see a cookie monster Elmo.
It looks like Grover. And then I don't know whose Tango.
I don't know who Tango is. I guess Tango came
after I was out of childhood. And is it Abby
could Abby? I don't remember at Abby Kadabby? What the
(34:05):
f is Abbey Cadabby? And why is snuff a luffing?
It's not part of this.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
They should have gotten snuff a luff igus.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
That's a bad job by the people over there that
put this thing together.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Shame on them.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
Oh wow, Yeah, I didn't even know there were new muppets.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
That's Abby Kadabby. I just looked up Hell was Abbey Cadad.
I just looked up Tango. It's Tango, it's a It's
a puppy. Debuted in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Oh wow, did somebody assessame suit? Weren't new muppets therese?
Muppets are dated. They're all muppets, And why not Oscar
the Grouch could add Oscar the Grouch? Part of this
is he still part of the Muppets.
Speaker 8 (34:42):
No, Abby Kadaby debuted in twenty oh six.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I was working here, so I do after me, Abby Kadabby.
That's a lot of promotion for Abbie Cadebby. How do
you think Burton Ernie feel about this? They're probably upset?
Speaker 6 (34:56):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
What about us? How come we didn't get picked? What's
up with that?
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Where someone somewhere is gonna have a problem with that?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Do they ever kill muppets like on other shows where
they remember when was it Ned Flanders was killed in
Do they ever know his life?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
His wife?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Was an episode where Big Bird dies, Yes.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Big Bird. His wing broke and he fell and died,
and it was tragic.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
We all experienced death.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
That would be a good parody. If I haven't watched
Saturday Night Live, that'd be a pretty good one. Right
the day the Muppets died, you know, all right?
Speaker 2 (35:43):
It is the Ben Maller Show. Time Now for the
Insta trivia. Chris stops porzingis that's a basketball player had
a good game in Game one. He is one of
only four players and the first since me, first since
Blank to score at least twenty points in twenty minutes

Well by request, Eddie Garcia has said we need to
let Mallard of.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
The third degree breathe.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
So since Eddie took twenty minutes giving WNBA scores and
wasted all of our time, well.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
You talked as much as I did during that update.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
We'll never get back. I mean people complaining here, Eddie.
It's an FCC violation giving these WNBA scores, So we'll pushback.
We will push back Mallor.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
To the third degree. How come I don't hear these
on other other shows, Eddie, I don't understand.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Do you listen to other shows?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
No? I don't, but I don't.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
Hear that, and that's why you don't hear them.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
That's probably why I don't hear them. Anyway. Here is
the Insta trivia.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Christaps porzingis he a basketball players plays for the Celtics.
He's one of only four players and the first one
since Blank to score at least twenty points in twenty
minutes or less in a finals game.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
That is the Insta trivia.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
What is the answer and let's see does anyone know
the answer? Page down? Zelmo Beatie Laker Legend from Art Puffin.
That's his answer. Weed Man Ben Maler Show Muppet weed
Man from Double Low, Mexican. That looks about right. Michael
Scott guessed by the Cowboy Killer Jordan's going with Carl
(37:56):
Malone is his answer. Greg de Hammer Valentine could be
the answer from Andy Lino Lakes in Minnesota. Jeff Horniseck
Horny from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Kurt Angle from Baker
the Tallest Mawler of all, Big Bird from Trucker Joe.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
That's his answer.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Kelly says, I hope you guys and the rest of
the militia are ready to celebrate. It's National Donut Day,
so make sure to eat it. I'm gonna have to
eat a donut today. I wasn't gonna eat a donut,
but it's National Donut Day, and damn it, we want
to eat donuts. I'll go get you a couple of
cinnamon rolls to celebrate natal Then mister Hooper from King Roy,
King Roy, that's his answer. Ernie the Great O'piner from
(38:38):
Matt the Warrior Raider fan.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
That's pretty funny. Who else, Dick.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Pole the Great basketball Player from Robbie the Mariner fan,
Vinnie the microwave Johnson from our friend Wally in Florida, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
I need in answers.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Not Gary Templeton of the Padres guests by Patrick and Sandy.
Speaker 6 (38:53):
That's a silly guess. It's former Indiana pacer Travis Best
who Doug will dark Doug, who Ben will tell you
is as good as all the rest?
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Because no, it is actually Leon Powell of the Celtics
in eight sixteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Leon, you don't remember him, No,
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our dub bird too. You should never believe the media.
They're all smoking magic mushrooms. Do you see the story
on LA How surprised are you that Dan Hurley has
emerged as a front runner for the Laker coaching job.
What the heck happened to JJ Reddick's status as the
front runner? And reports also say Lebron James hasn't talked
(00:24):
to Laker brass about Dan Hurley or JJ Reddick? Do
you believe that report? All of it and more come
in your way right now here. It is our number.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Two, the old Switcher room.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Wel come, in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
We are in the air everywhere ear plug play, fellas
as we are high falutin coast to coast, porter to
border and beyond, and on the mast and uncommonly powerful
microphones of fsre emmating live.

(01:29):
thousand recommended installers tyre ract dot com the way tire
buying should be my kid because I care. As my
old buddy Chris Myers would say.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Our lead this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball, but
not Game one of the Celtics that not much of
a talker. Boston came out, kicked the snot out of
the Mavericks in the first quarter and just played keep
away the rest of the game, and so the Celtics
have first blood. They're up, won nothing over the Mavericks.
We'll have to wait another two weeks before Game two
(02:03):
of the finals. But I leave this hour from Los Angeles.
We have a traumatic plot twist in Lakerland. And if
you did not hear, maybe not. This came down just
after we ended our show. Of course, I'd like to
thank all the people that put these stories out within
an hour of when I leave the radio station, So
(02:23):
thank you for that. But we learned that the team
from Minneapolis that relocated to Los Angeles and calls themselves
the Lakers, good luck finding a decent lake in Los
Angeles anyway. The Lakers have called an audible Omaha omaha, olmah, No,
they're going Connecticut, Connecticut, Connecticut, as they have pivoted away
(02:45):
from JJ Reddick and are now burn dogging, burn dogging
Yukon hoops coach Dan Hurley, who goofed.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I've got to know now.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
The word on the street is that Hurley is flying
to the People's Republic of California for a meet and
greet with Lakers GM Rob Skinny Jeans, Polinka and owner
Jennie Buss about taking over as the head coach. That'll
be today by the end of the night. By the
(03:18):
end of the night here on Friday, this is possibly
a done deal. Hurley has been offered a massive long
term contract the coach in Los Angeles. The Lakers are
trying to get the deal wrapped up with Dan Hurley,
certainly by the end of the weekend. But let us
discuss the question, how surprised are you that Dan Hurley,
(03:42):
the man that wanted nothing to do with Kentucky and
talk time and again about how he was happy.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
At Connecticut, he didn't want to go anywhere, that he.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Has emerged as a Laker candidate and a serious threat
to take overs that coach.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So I've got Dragons, Sinatra.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And the Pony Express, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make pastrami fries. Now,
if you haven't had pastrami fries, you're really missing out.
I'm gonna get some. I'm gonna get some this weekend.
At some point, I'm gonna get my pastrami fries.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Not number to answer the question, how surprised.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Are you that Dan Hurley has emerged as the Lakers
coaching candidate. We certainly did not have this on our
bingo card, And yes I did. I did question the
people that have been feeding me jj Reddick, telling me
jj Reddick the talk was barring a snaffo and was
going to be jj Reddick. Well, welcome into the chat snaffo.
(04:55):
How do you do now? Hurley came out of thin air.
I came out of there and thin air. Now the question,
there's a lot of questions I have, but a question
I would like to throw out to the classes. Is
he the one that contacted the Lakers first? Is he
the one that had interest in the Laker job. It's
very sorry, and why would you want that job? The
(05:16):
brons old Anthony Davis is undependable they don't have a
lot of draft capital. As the kids like to say,
it's not a great job. They fire coaches every two years.
You have a fan base which is just terrible to
deal with. They're like the Dallas Cowboy fans, except worse.
So why would you want that job? And the Lakers
(05:40):
have spent the last couple of weeks hand crafting tall
tales about the greatness of JJ Reddick, leaking stories to
their useful idiots in the media about him being the
next great coach, the next pat Riley. How do you
not hire the next pat Riley? And then all the sudden,
(06:01):
here be dragons. Where did the dragons come from? How
did they get there? I don't know, but Dan Hurley
and I don't like this story because I actually like
Dan Hurley. I think he's really good. He's a proven
college coach. Now there's always the wild card. It's the
NBA that's a wild card. And we have talked to
(06:22):
people about the situation and they're like, well, yeah, maybe
his wife changed her mind, or you know, this is
the powerball situation, and that's really to me what this
is about. We often mentioned people being stuck between the
devil and the deep Blue Sea. Right, you're stuck between
two really bad, tough decisions. But Dan Hurley is stuck
(06:43):
between being a tycoon and an aristocrat. He's in the
high rank district. He's already well paid, and either way
he's going to be richer than Scrooge mcduc Hurley. Dan
Hurley has yukon'rowing more money. The word on the street
is that Yukon is desperately putting their booster team together
(07:06):
trying to come up with some more shekels to pay
Dan Hurley here and keep him away from the Lakers.
The Lakers would then have to up their offer. Now
another question I have is this trickeration. Could Dan Hurley
be bluffing? Is this a play to squeeze even more
money out of Yukon. And at this point, now that
(07:27):
the Lakers have put this in the public square, if
Dan Hurley comes to LA and sees all the.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Ridiculousness of Los Angeles, what's going on in LA?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
What a humiliation that would be for the Purple and
Gold if they get rejected that Hurley flies all the
way out, meets with Genie Boss and Rob Skinny Jeans
Polink of the GM and then says yeah, I'm out
and high tails it back to Connecticut. Hurley would be
an even bigger folk hero if he turned the Laker
job down to stay they had a college job, even
(08:02):
a good college job. The fact that this is out there, though,
that this is being publicized, makes me think the Lakers
believe he's wants the job, and he's going to take
the job and it'll be done by the end of today.
College basketball is in a deep dark place. Now are
these end times for college basketball? No, but they ain't
(08:24):
going well, right, It ain't going well. And this is
another example. If Dan Hurley takes the job, even if
he doesn't chake the job, every man, woman and child
has a price. Everyone's got a price. And if the
Lakers meet that price, then he's out of here.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He's gone. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And now page two, what the heck happened to JJ Reddick?
Let's address the Komodo dragon in the room? What the
heck happened to JJ Reddick? And he was the front runner,
He was in the pole position to be Laker coach.
And the people that I trust they said, listen, they
can't hire him right now. They have to wait till
after he's done with ABC for the NBA Finals, And
(09:02):
so you're gonna get a bunch of stories leaked about
how great JJ Redick is and nothing will happen until
after the finals. As Frank Sinatra saying, back in his day,
you're riding high in April, you're shot down in May.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
In this case, you're riding high in May and shot
down in June. That's life.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Is it true that JJ Redick's big mouth got him
in hot water with Laker brass? Could they have finally
heard his fledgling podcast and stupid comments on ABC and said,
we don't want to hire this guy. The guy's a bum.
Those cringeworthy loose lips and that arrogance. Did it turn
(09:41):
off someone some click in the Laker building? Is JJ
Reddick going to spin this that he turned the job down?
Is that what he's going to do? Or are the
Lakers merely opportunists suffering from something that a lot of
people have in the dating game, the always something better indrome,
the ASBs always something better syndrome. You're always looking for
(10:04):
the next best thing.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And we will see.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Where the road, the winding road takes us on this story.
But that is nuts when I when I woke up
and I saw what I did.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
A double thing? Eh, hey, what I mean? That is
a crazy ivan, as they used to say back in
the day.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
A right final point, there are reports that indicate Lebron James,
through his buddies, is telling handpicked reporters that Lebron had
not talk to Laker management about Dan Hurley or JJ Reddick.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Do you believe it?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Do you believe that Lebron has nothing to do with
who the Lakers are going to hire?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
So Lebron, I'm agnostic on this.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Lebron is like the CIA, admit nothing, deny everything. Laker
brass are so paranoid that Lebron is going to They
think like no one wants to play for the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Apparently they can't replace them with another star.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That they're at his mercy because Lebron's gonna opt out
of his contract and get the Lakers to pay him
more money. But he won't go there if they don't
draft his kid. It's like a hostage negotiation. You gotta
hire the coach he wants. He got a draft the kid.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
One of the people that I converse with, I text with,
and communicate digitally with was like, well, maybe Lebron he
was just spitball. He's like, well, maybe Lebron just wants
Dan Hurley to coach his kid because he knows the
Lakers are going to draft his kid.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And he thinks that.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Since this is the top college coach, that Dan Hurley
would be able to help the development of Bronnie James,
who averaged less than five points a game on a
sub five hundred USC team in the.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Old Pac twelve.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I'm old enough to remember when that was a viable
conference in college basketball.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And if let's go back to Reddick.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
If Reddick doesn't get the job and Coach K is consulting,
what an atomic elbow to JJ Reddick from Coach K,
that's his guy, that's his boy, right, that's Coach K's guy.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
All right, So Lebron, here's the way I look at this.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Lebron does not directly contact Rob Polenka or Genie Buss.
He could, but he doesn't. What he does is use middleman,
uses intermediaries, and he sends messages via the Pony Express
and message your pigeons to get the word out. He
does that passive aggressive thing on social media where he
(12:31):
sends commentary out. Now he has another platform with his
fledgling podcast. It gives Lebron plausible deniability, which every person
that makes statements, like politicians and people in the public
puplic guy. They want, they want that plausible deniability is
what they would like. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
(12:51):
We would like is for you to be part of
the show. If you want, you don't have to call in.
We got a whole stack of content. But if you
feel inclined to do that, you're more than welcome. You're

we'll press on here straight ahead. Has the kiss of
(13:35):
Death been given to not only a hockey team but
also a basketball team? We'll get to that will also
go clipped as well and have some muppet madness, a
lot to get to and your calls.

Several of the brigadier generals in the Malin Militia believe
that we should change lame jokes for the week.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
For years, we used to goof on this.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Picture named Bartolo Cologne back in the day Bartolo Cologne,
a longtime baseball player. Then he retired and we pivoted
to Lizzo and and several of the boys say we
must honor Miss Alabama and she must be the focus
of the jokes.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Did you have you seen this, Eddie?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Yeah, miss it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yes, Miss Alabama, who does not miss a meal. She's
enjoying her live. I mean she looks like I used
to look at it. You knew me when I looked
like that. I never want a beauty contest, but she
won some contest in Alabama apparently, and it's breaking the internet.
I mean, she's bigger on the Internet than everybody, more
(16:34):
ways than one.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
But yeah, so if you.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Want to it's up to the joke writer. I don't
write the jokes. The boys write the jokes, So it's
up to the joke writers. Jordan writes in says that
Joe Burrow has been hacked.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
That is Twitter ex account has been hacked.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Do some recount here, hold on, sick to me see
what's going on with this Joe Burrow account.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
He's known as Joey b on X.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I believe that is his account. The Bengals quarterback. Let's
take a look here and let's see what kind of
hacking is going on for the Bengals quarterback. And uh no,
it looks like I don't see it. Maybe it was
earlier and he deleted it or something like that. I
don't see it right here, So maybe he got some
(17:22):
bogus stuff, bogus information there. Who else to have page down?
Let's see he can't and won't read that one on
the air. There's some bills propaganda from Andy the comic
book guy super Marcus Steve says Dan Hurley didn't want
to coach Bronnie James in college. Why do you think
he would want to coach Bronnie James and the pros? Well,
I could think of eight or nine million dollars a
(17:44):
year as to why he would want to coach Bronnie
James and the pros. Remember the rant that this guy
went on all coaches lie.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We know they're all liars. That's why we're here, and
you idiots, dumb fans like, oh he said it. He
Sunny was never gonna leave. Okay, Remember remember when Kentucky wanted.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
To hire Dan Hurley And what did Dan Hurley do is?
Oh my wife is from New Jersey. She does not
want to live too far from New Jersey. She's not
got no way. Okay, they do have a lot of
flights from LA to the greater metropolitan area of New
York City and the northern New Jersey if you want
to go. What part of New Jersey she's from, maybe
(18:20):
southern New Jersey, which they can also get there as well.
Supermarket Steve says, maybe they heard Reddick's podcast where he
interviewed Dan Hurley Hurley diagram to play and exactly how
they run it. Reddick sounded utterly confused and dumbfounded, it,
says Supermarket ste Well, you're a better man than me.
Supermarket Steve, I have not heard a second of that
(18:42):
podcast other than the clips. I haven't heard a whole
podcast the clips. I didn't see that clip, so I
did not did not see it. Andy the comic book
Guy says, Ben, this is a lot of basketball for
almost two straight hours.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I'm trying to stay awake here. Wow, taking a shot.
That's a cheap shot. Shame on you. We'll take some calls.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
My board is being reset right now as we work
our way through that. The Whammy, the Kiss of Death,
has been put on not only the Edmonton Oilers, but
also the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Who won Game one. Why because Drake.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Drake has bet one dollars combined on the Mavericks to
beat the Celtics and the Oilers to beat the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
In the NBA NHL file. So that's actually the Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That have had the whammy put on them. But he's
spending on the Mavericks and the Oilers. And most of
the time when Drake goes out and makes a prediction
like that, makes a bet, he's like Poppy picking with Poppy,
it does not go that well. I also mentioned this
last hour. I gotta pay this off. So a number
of NBA punt it's the latest. Was Steven A. Smith,
(19:54):
our former morning guy. I don't know what happened if
I'm always working now, but Steven A. Smith is urging
the people that consume his content to ignore this is a quote,
ignore past mistakes of Kyrie Irving, ignore them, Ignore the
past mistakes of Kyrie Irving, says Stephen A. And this
(20:18):
is what I don't get. I don't understand this. I
don't why it feels like this is all orchestrated from
somebody at the NBA, or maybe it's Kyrie Irving's people
around him that we need all these media people that
are all buddy buddies with the players to try to
convince the low information fan. You should forgive Kyrie for
being an anti semi right, you should. You should forgive
(20:39):
Kyrie for all the all the stuff that he's done.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Just forgive him. He's fine. Just tell you have no
problem with it? Really? Okay, that's that seems good? Yeah, Like,
what world are you living in? Like that's not usually
how it works? Am I wrong? Maybe I am wrong?
I have no I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Let's go to Soordia. Who's in the Commonwealth? Hello, SWORDI,
you're welcome.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Mister Ben Maller. How are we doing today, Eddie Garcia,
Lorena cool? How's the crew doing tonight?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I would say Lorain is doing better than any of
us because she's not here.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
But if we were any better, we'd be Luca.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But not Luka Daancik because he did nothing while the
Mavericks were falling behind by twenty nine points, and then
after that, then after that, I started playing.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Okay, the game was over at that point.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Listen, as a Celtics fan, got to love that W.
I mean, we didn't play our greatest, but we'll take
the W. And if Drake's bet on the Mavericks, you'll
love to see it. But Mala, the reason I called
today is, you know, I just don't know why anyone
in their right mind would want to take this Lakers job.
(21:51):
I mean, as we know, and I know you're a
stock guru ballot, but as we know, past performance does
not indicate Huger results. But like, why anyone would take
this job is beyond me.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I mean, listen, soldier, though, listen, I mean, you know,
there's two reasons to take the job two weeks. One
is money, right, a lot of money. The Lakers are
gonna have to pay a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And it's it's ego.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
It's feeding your They're the most popular team in the world.
Come on, I think there's I think there's no stop.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I think there's a soccer there's some soccer teams that
might have an argument.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
I'm talking about in the NBA Bencheese. Yeah, the most
popular team in the world.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Obviously, anybody that takes the job as a giant ego
and their ego maniacs and they're you.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Know, it's like they can it's a flex and early.
I don't know Hurley.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I've only seen him a few interviews over the last
couple years because Connetic has been really good and it
doesn't seem like that kind of.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Guy, so it must be his time.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You're not gonna you're not gonna keep this going at Connectic, right,
They're not going to keep winning championships at that at
the rate they've been winning at And so you cash
your chips in.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You strike while.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
You're at the very top, and you're the hottest coach
out there, right, You're the prettiest person at the bar
and all that stuff, and so there you go.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Yeah, it's just weird to me how this kind of
came out of nowhere. And listen, if I'm any coach,
I wouldn't take this job because you know, Lebron's leaving
in one to two years. He wants to draft his
sun And listen, Lebron and Ad came in as a
package deal. They're gonna leave as a package deal. Right
as soon as Lebron leaves, you know Ad is gonna
(23:34):
leave as well. And we talked about money. I was
telling cool this. You know, I only signed a six year,
thirty two dollar contract last year. And I mean, I
know Connecticut, there's not much going on over there, but
you could buy a great house in Connecticut. I mean
the tax isn't California.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I mean yeah, But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Here's the thing, Sojia, like, you know, there's a lot
of issues in California.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Axes are a problem.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
But if you have a good account and you can,
you can futch around, much like the salary cap in
the NFL, and get out of pay. Rich people don't
pay a lot of taxes, a lot of they don't mean.
There's the ways you get out of it. And you
can have property in other places and get out of it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And you know, if you're you're.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Wealthy, you live in a bubble and you don't see
a lot of the things. You don't have to worry
about the price of gas. If you're making eight nine
million dollars a year, there's nothing to worry about. You're
in a whole different world. It's it's you don't worry
when the price of food goes up.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Who cares?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Listen, Malard, I'm a solid expand and of course I
can't stand the Lakers, but listen, I'm no person. I'm
not a genius, right, But like, if the Lakers actually
want to be a relevant franchise in five to ten years,
they need to start thinking about their future instead of
cow telling to Lebron James. Because listen, history has a
(24:51):
chance of repeating itself after Kobe, the Lakers were irrelevant
for years, and if they want to do the same
thing after Lebron, be my guest, I'll take more joy
in it.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
But again, so you think hiring Dan Hurley is not
the move to stay relevant?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
I mean, if you want another eight seed plan first round?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Oh, look at that Sorgia. Sorgia, that's a hot takes.
I like this guy, Soordia, this guy's good.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Keep going, so you're upsetting Coop.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
Keep going from the plane to the first one. An
could be my good as a Celtics fan, I love it,
you know. So I'm just trying to give you some
unbiased advice. But I guess you know we want to
stay irrelevant for the next ten years.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Be my guest, how old are you, Sogia?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
I am ten twenty seven in March.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
There you go, twenty seven. He's in the prime of
his life here so long.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Yeah, we are in prime time, man, Mallow, we are
in Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Well, I guys, I'm becoming an old geezer. But yes,
all right, well listen, Sorgie, you've upset Coops.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I give you. I'm gonna give you a golden ticket
for that because you annoyed Coop.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
So he was he was eleven the last time the
Celtics won anything.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Oh my god, real, Oh man, I don't like hearing
that either. Yeah, come on cool, I'm just saying, oh no, eleven, God,
you know what I was doing when the Celtics won
the championship.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
You're working here?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yes with me? Oh mercy? Alright.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
A lot of people have been sending this on social media.
Did you see the story of former All Pro Dolphins
corner Xavian Howard. He is apparently in some trouble. He
is alleged to have sent a minor sexually explicit images,
but it's not what you might think. Apparently there were
videos of this boy's mother because he was seeking revenge
(26:55):
on her. Apparently she had refused to get an abortion
when she formed Howard that she was carrying his child. Uh,
this is he's done this before. Apparently there was also
a relationship with a woman in twenty twenty two as well.
Uh so, yeah, he's he's looking for a job former
all pro I'm guessing this isn't gonna help that.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
They say any any publicity is good for this, but
I have.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Never agreed with that, to be honest with you. So yeah,
Xaving Howard is saying that revenge revenge porn. How old
was the kid and they said he was a minor.
I don't know, they didn't say his exact age. I
guess it doesn't you know, not.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Really, I don't really matter. I mean that's kind of
a like people talk about doing that but actually do it.
Like that's uh, you know, I'll get back at that.
But he did it. He did the thing you can't do.
He did it.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Like, yeah, that's a problem. It's a yeah, I mean,
he's not very smart clearly to think that way.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You saying that he's a meathead? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
In more ways than yeah, Okay, well that's that's not fun.
Eddie that's no, it's this. This is fun, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
This is fun. This next thing is very fun. It's
a fun fact. In fact, it is.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Now we are planning a Malor meet and greet in
Lost Wages, Nevada, and several of my homies in Vegas
have let me know that on Thursday, Las Vegas had
the hottest day they've ever seen in the month of June,
one hundred and eleven degrees.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
In Lost Wages, Nevada, one hundred and eleven.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
So, and we're gonna be there when it's the hottest
of the hot like it's usually.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Not that bad in the month of June. Now it's
conceivable they'll get the really hot weather out of the
way and then it'll be nice, like eighty five degrees
when we're doing the Malor Meet and greet in Vegas,
unless it is not. This the Ben Malord Show.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
And just like in basketball, all a successful game plan
starts with the actually, that's incorrect.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I was reading the wrong cut. I was given the
wrong copy. Any bad job who goofed I've got to know.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Wow, we'll edit that in post production. Well, Third Bet Racing,
that's what I wanted to throw out. Third Bet Racing
has a new independent regulator, Haisa Haisa that is in
implementing comprehensive reforms, and the sport is combining hands on
care with cutting edge technology to help keep its athletes safe.
To learn more of VI, is it Safety Runs First
dot Com at Safety Runs First dot Com. I was
fussing around because we are down. We are down to
(29:32):
the final six in Utah.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Do you see this, Eddie? Do you see this?
Speaker 6 (29:38):
I did, and I'm a little annoyed.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I'm not annoyed, Eddie, I'm not annoyed. Let's get Do
you have any music for this? We don't need any
music for this. The NHL team to be named later
we'll find out in a second way.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Eddie's annoyed.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
But they're down to six finalists for the name the
NHL team in Utah down.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
To the final six.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
The group that owns the Utah Utah ja As and
they bought the hockey team from Arizona. Smith Entertainment Group
announced the choices have been narrowed down the thinning of
the herd. The final six are in no particular order,
Utah Hockey Club or Utah HC. Blizzard, which is like
(30:20):
something you'd get at a fast food restaurant Mammoth which
is I think in California Mammoth Mountain, not in Utah Outlaws.
When you think criminals, I think the biggest thugs live
in Utah. Venom of course, also a lot of venom
there and the last one.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
YETI YETI here we go. Just give me a Y,
give me an E, give me a T, give me
an eye? What is that spell? YY? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Ms Cleman would be so happy, my teacher that I
know how to spell YETI, she'd be very happy. Who Well,
it was my teacher back in the day that taught
me how to spell and other things.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
But I should be very happy that I know how
to spell the word YETI, thank God, thank God. It's
got to be YETI. Why would it not be?
Speaker 8 (31:16):
YETI?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Chris Paul has chimed in on the show clipped, which
is what channels? I even know what channels on?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Is it FX? What channels this on? I think?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
So?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Okay, there's a big billboard outside our studios here at
Fox Sports Radio, the iHeartMedia Building, the premiere network's home,
that has a eclipped billboard, and Chris Paul was interviewed recently.
Was asked about it, and he pointed out that it
was not exactly what actually happened. He said he and
(31:49):
his wife watched the first episode. He said it was
kind of cringey, is.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
What what he said.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
My buddy's been trying to get me to watch this.
It is so cringe, but he thinks it's like one
of those so bad it's it's great kind of things. Yeah,
I just.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, I know, I'm not I didn't watch the Laker thing.
I'm not going to watch this. I just I'm not.
I'm not interested. I am acutely aware of what happened.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
Have you seen the pictures or any like clips?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Al Bundy's playing Donald Sterling.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Have you seen the Laurence Fishburn's doc Rivers.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Oh Man.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
He also he Chris Paul said that in the first
episode he watched with his wife, they had a white
party that Donald Sterling used to have, but he stopped
having that by the time the Lobb.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
City Clippers were around. But they wanted to tell the story.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
And it's not a documentary, so I get it. You know,
you're writing the story, you're trying to trying to get
people to watch, and you want to make it more dramatic,
and so you're going to to go down that road.
I understand it, just it's a little tough. And I
did see somebody. I think it was the Great Mike
Harmon sent me a video clip of my guy, Clipper Daryl,
(33:12):
who apparently was in one of the I guess the
first episode they showed a shot of Clipper Dale.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I think he's in the open to the show, Clipper Darrell.
It's kind of exciting.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Did you see who NBC has hired to promote the Olympics?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You see this Eddie who NBC is hired? No, you
have not, all right? You see this Coop? Oh he
hasn't seen Okay, Yeah, NBC has hired.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
The Muppets to promote the upcoming summer Olympics.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
Relevant.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Well, if you're a child.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
That's relevant. But you will see a cookie monster Elmo.
It looks like Grover. And then I don't know whose Tango.
I don't know who Tango is. I guess Tango came
after I was out of childhood. And is it Abby
could Abby? I don't remember at Abby Kadabby? What the
(34:05):
f is Abbey Cadabby? And why is snuff a luffing?
It's not part of this.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
They should have gotten snuff a luff igus.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
That's a bad job by the people over there that
put this thing together.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Shame on them.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
Oh wow, Yeah, I didn't even know there were new muppets.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
