Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our Nu bir one hour
one of the original Recipe podcast. A Happy Tuesday to you,
this the eleventh day of the month of Juni. You
probably already knew that by looking at your phone or
hearing it from a friend. But here in our number one,
it's all about the big stories. Play the hits, my man,
(00:20):
play the hits. Coaching carousel spinning out of control in
the NBA. Why did Dan Hurley say now to the
Lakers after all that public courtship over the weekend? And
now embarrassing is the rejection of Dan Hurley in Lakerland
as he decides to stay in college rather than coach
(00:42):
of the NBA. And where do the Lakers turn now
for their next head coach? The job is still open.
The blank spot on the bingo card continues. All of
that coming your way right now, and some surprises along
the way as well. Here it is our number one.
Call it a case of purple and punked. Welcome, in
(01:08):
the beginning of another night of the Benmahlor Show. We
are in the air everywhere, waddling along as we give
you the express written consent to listen to this show.
Coast to coast, border to border, in beyond all the maast,
indefinitely powerful microphones of fs are emmundating live from the
(01:34):
bakery as we sell these takes literally by the dozen.
As we are broadcasting live from the Tiraq dot com
studios tyraq dot com. We'll help you get there and
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers. DJ Infamous has played that
(01:56):
many records. As we are hanging out with you here
tyraq dot com. The way tire buying should be. Play
the head small man play this will play the hits
so ely this hour coming from skid Row that is
where the Lakers play their basketball games on skid Row
and the highly publicized coaching search, we have a conclusion.
(02:18):
We have closure, and I assume you've heard by now,
but maybe you're a little slow. You have things going on,
you're not paying attention. But after a highly publicized weekend fling,
Dan Hurley has said no. He has rejected a massive
(02:40):
amount of money to coach the Lakers, instead continue on
as the coach at Yukon. He will not be going
to the NBA, at least not now. As Dan Hurley
given the VIP trip to La La Land over the weekend.
He was whined and dined by the Laker front office,
Laker ownership, and then the moment of truth and he
(03:03):
swiped left, not right, he swiped left. He said, I
am uninterested. You suck, get out of here. Your team blows.
That's essentially what he said. Hurley declining seventy million dollars.
Of course, with California taxes, that's about seventeen dollars, but
still seventy million in average of almost twelve million a year,
(03:26):
little less than twelve million a year. He turned down
cowhard Money's what he turned down. Who turns down cowhard money?
He did, all right? So Dan Hurley turning down all
that money. The discussion. Let's have a little conversation here
talk radio. We'll have a conversation. So the question is
why why did Dan Hurley reject the very public courtship
(03:48):
from the Lakers. So I've got TikTok, Banana, cream pie,
and army, and we will connect all of these things
together and we are going to make a nice celebratory party,
which I'm guessing Dan Hurley had a nice party on Monday.
Everyone kissed his ascid in Connecticut and said, oh, we
love you Dan. Thanks for strewing the Lakers over, Thanks
(04:11):
for making them look like a bunch of losers. Thank
you all right. So a my first observation on this
story is that Dan Hurley did the right thing. He
did the thing you have to do with the time
you have to do it. Good job by him, and
it was pretty much telegraphed. I think you'd agree on this.
Dan Hurley would have been a fool. The village would
(04:34):
have been without its idiot if Dan Hurley had taken
this job. He's sitting right now at the summit. Granted
it's college basketball, but he's at the summit of college basketball.
And with all these old codgers getting out of the
college game in recent years, the old guard like Jim
Beeheim and coach k and that realm of coaches, you've
(04:56):
got John Calipari who's now at Arkansas. But out side
of that, and really Kyl Pars in terms of wins
and losses championships, is already behind the success of Hurley.
So Hurley's at the summit, and why would you leave
that to go to a Laker franchise that is crumbling?
(05:18):
Everyone knows that every man, woman and child knows what's
going on with the Lakers. It's a dead end job.
And when the decision comes, you're at pork chop Island?
Right do you go to the Lakers dead end job
franchise that has bad ownership, bad GM skinny jeans? The
general manager there Lebron James agent rapidly and who knows
(05:39):
if he'll even be back. Although it seems like this
is all being orchestrated by Lebron. You've got Anthony Davis,
the unibrow who is built out of toilet paper, but
not the good Kirkling brand toilet paper. The one ply,
you know, that terrible one ply when you go to
the store and you have to go to the bathroom
in the back and they get the cheapest toilet paper,
that's Anthony Davis. The rest of the roster, though, is
(06:00):
a hodgepodge of nothingness. That's the Laker. Why would you
want that job? The money? The only reason to take
the job is the way, And it's not that that's
a terrible reason. That's like a horrible reason to take
the money. But you just have this emptiness there. And
for all the bragging about being a multi billion dollar
(06:23):
international mega brand, which the Lakers love to tell you about.
They love to pump their chest out and strut around
like a peacock. Where are the Lakers? They can get
anybody they want, haha. Not a college coach who chose
to stay in stores, Connecticut with a population of about
sixteen thousand, turning down Tinseltown, said go pound sand I
(06:44):
don't want to coach the Lakers, and the Lakers continue
to be all sizzle and no steak. That's the problem there,
and I love it. I hope it continues for years
to come. But Dan Hurley, we know what he did.
I tell you exactly what did. He hummed some bars
of Panoman because that's where he went. He flew out
to La interviewed with the Lakers, then flew back to
(07:05):
the East Coast in time to make it to a
concert at Madison Square Garden at MSG right there. And
the payoff on this for Hurley it would appear the
media dopes providing him with TikTok influencer level clout. Can
(07:27):
you imagine Dan Hurley? And this is my head. I
don't know about yours, but in my head, that cartoon
bubble I've got Dan Hurley doing a pirouette as he
gives the bird to Genie Buss and the Lakers because
Yukon will pay him a little more money. They're already
talking about redoing his contract. They just redid his contract,
(07:47):
so he'll payhim more money. He can then brag to
all the players that are only going to Connecticut because
of the nil deals anyway, but he'll bragg to them
nonetheless about how he's the guy that turned down the Lakers.
He said, screw you, that Connecticut is so special that
I couldn't go coach Lebron James. I turn him down.
(08:08):
It's a pretty good feather in the cap. I would
say I had pretty good feather in the cap here
in terms of braggadociousness. Now page two here, how embarrassing
is Dan Hurley's rejection in Lakerland. The historians who love
to talk about all their success, but it's gonna be
devastating with the Celtics, who already are ahead of the
(08:29):
Lakers and championships at another one. They're two wins away
from that happening. But on the Malard scale of humiliation
for Dan Hurley sticking it to the Lakers, rejecting them.
A Malord scale of humiliation one to ten, with ten
being sending a text message to the wrong person and
some graphic photographs in that text message. The Lakers get
(08:50):
a nine point oh on the Malor scale of humiliation.
This is I'll tell you what. This is what the
Lakers did by even contact Dan Hurley and not doing
their due diligence. What they did is a kin to
being called on in class by the teacher and you
were daydreaming and you were not paying attention. It's rather embarrassing, right,
(09:11):
he's hey, can you tell me about what's on page
thirty two? We just covered it. Well. Actually, I was
thinking about the turkey sandwich I was going to have
for lunch, and I'm sorry, professor, I did not pay attention.
It's a banana cream pie, not a good one, A
cheap banana cream pie, right to the face, right, what
kind of mama Lukes with the Lakers are so delusional
(09:36):
that they thought Dan Hurley, who turned down Kentucky and
other big time jobs, that he was going to leave
Connecticut for a mid NBA job, a second rate NBA job.
Genie Buss who's not a great owner. I mean look
at a resumeation not very good as an owner. It's
being honest and Rob Polinka tweedled the and tweedled dumb.
(10:02):
A couple of Dingleberry's there with the Lakers. Read the room,
do some opposition research. Dan Hurley is in his early fifties.
He's in his early fifties. He has worked as a
coach since he finished playing college basketball, and he started
as a high school assistant coach in nineteen ninety six.
Every gig that he has had, all of those years,
(10:25):
way back in nineteen ninety six to all the way
till now, every one of those jobs has been in
the I ninety five corridor. He's a New Jersey guy,
he married a New Jersey girl. He's never left that
I ninety five quarter, within a short drive of the
motherland in New Jersey. Our last word, so, where do
(10:45):
the Lakers turn now that they have been pants in
their head coaching search that everyone knows whoever they hire,
whoever they hire will not be the guy that they
wanted originally. That's the issue here. So at this point,
the immediate thing is you circle the wagons and you
(11:06):
enter the spin zone. Spin spin, spin, not the spin cycle.
Because that's a caller that used to call the show,
but she doesn't call anymore in Colorado. But you enter
the spin zone, all right, and you attempt at this
point you would dust yourself off, I would think, right,
put an ice pack, maybe some ibuprofen, pharmacy, great ibuprofen,
because you got a headache. And whoever the Lakers get though,
(11:29):
and there's no way to spin this in any other direction,
has stank on them. You know that, and I know that,
and everyone knows that they are not the preferred choice.
So the Lakers are gonna have to go go army,
if you will. Now what does that mean? Go army here?
Not the US Army. No, no, no, the Lakers are going
to have to go Salvation army. And they're gonna have
(11:50):
to jump into that red kettle. You know the Cowboys
when they play on Thanksgiving, they always of that red
kettle in the end zone and sometimes players jump into
it and the NFL gets very upset and finds them
and say, oh, are you you'll cut up?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
They got to jump into the red kettle and get
some like a handy down, hand me down coach, you
know some some pre used coach, and the former Hornets
coach has been mentioned. James Barrego has been tossed out
as a possibility, and I still think it's going to
(12:23):
be jj Reddick, And I can't wait to laugh when
you hire Lebron's podcast buddy as your coach. And I
just think that's going to be wonderful and I will
have a wonderful guffaw when that that happens. I hope
that happens. Let's speak that into existence. It is the
Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to comment on any

Speaker 5 (14:27):
The great silent majority of listeners to the Ben Maler
Show sit on the sidelines, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Mahler Show. Just follow your host
on x He's at Ben Mahler and you can post
at and follow me. Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick, the
voice of reason, your news guy. You're announcer guy. I'm
(14:48):
at Eddie on Fox and I'm live from the tyrack
dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
We roll on through the overnight. Tony Wright Sin says
Dan Hurley played the Lakers to get more money out
of Yukon. Right out of the Malard playbook. Oh yeah,
when my contract's up, I always have a seven offers
And I go to Don Martin and I say, Don,
I've got seven offers, and he says, don't let the
(15:16):
door hit you where the good Lord split you and laughs,
He laughs his ass off every time, every single time. Absolutely.
Steve says that I am next in line for the
Laker job. Well, I would consider it. You know, our
former guy, our colleague, Jay Moore is owning, he owns
the Lakers now. Jay used to work here as a
(15:37):
talk show host and he's the owner of the Lakers now,
So I can work for Jay. We got along when
Jay worked here. Nothing bad to say about Jay. King
Roy writes and says, we all know the real reason
why Hurley turned down the Laker job is because he
didn't want to deal with the gang warfare. He says
around Crypto Arena. Hurley would rather stay in the Northeast
(16:00):
in his luxury mansion and pompous confidants who are civilized
and obedient, he says. Shane in Des Moines says, Bronni
needs to work out for the Mercury and the Sparks.
I don't know what that is if he's attempting to
be drafted and played pro bouncy ball, Okay Milkman. Mike
in Colorado says, gigantic first hour, opening mile of monologue,
(16:24):
it is no coincidence that the Lakers are becoming more
and more of a joke. With a former comedian being
part of the ownership, maybe they could become a sitcom
and start tgif again there you go, all right, g
Manage in Chicago is encouraging me. He thought I did
(16:46):
not go hard enough on the Lakers. I thought I
was fair and balanced in that malad prop Guy says
been very nice and the mal of monologue regarding the
Lakers opening coaching position. However, I think we are expecting
more shot in freude. That's what mal prop Guy knows.
I didn't go full guns of blazing here. So there's
any chance that behind door number three Moneyball Mallord will
(17:09):
be mentioned as a coaching option. Well, I love my
job here. Now if that TV show doesn't get picked up,
and Poppy did say the show is going to be
picked up, so maybe I'll have to I'll have to
consider that at that point, you know. Matt the Warrior
Raider Tom Brady rose Fan says that entire opening monologue
(17:30):
felt like an opportunity for you to troll Laker historians,
and for some reason, that monologue felt like you twisted
the knife a couple of extra turns.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Seven.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
No, I would never do that. You've been with the
show a long time. Matt, You're win my loyal foot soldiers,
even though you're often wrong about your takes and you
cheat at the trivia games that I play. But I
still put up with your bull crap. And maybe someday
I'll meet you at the Kingfish there in Oakland, and
hopefully our cars won't get stolen when we're at that
that establishment there in Oakland. But that monologue was more
than a seven and out of ten, Art Puffin, you
(18:01):
know it's big. If Art Puffin's listening, he says, a plus.
And some pastrami tacos. I've never had a pastrami talk.
You ever had a pastrami taco? No, Mark shaking his head.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
No, I have not, but I would.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, I've had pastrami pizza yet pastrami pizza. No, that's
really good. Yeah, it's hard to screw up pastrami. Now,
do you like? Here's the other course about straying pastrami?
Do you like the there's two different styles. There's the
kind there's Johnny's Pastrami here in La Eddie. Don't know
if you've been there that has like the kind of
the wet I guess it's called the wet pastrami. It's
(18:34):
in the sandwich, and then they have the traditional deli pastrami,
which you would get at your traditional New York style deli.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
No, I've only had the traditional so I can't.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Say I'm used to that like my favorite deli. And
this pisses people off in New York. But the greatest
deli I've ever been to is in la actually, right
across from MacArthur Park. We can get shanked anytime you
want twenty four hours. Yes, Slanger's Deli is by far.
And I've been to all the big delis in New York,
and I've been to delhis in other city, Chicago and
other places, and nothing has matched Lanker. And that's why
(19:08):
they charged eighty seven dollars a sandwich. Hey, that's why
they can do that. That's an expensive sandwich. I don't
go to the very offense any Let's take a call
or call it to Let's say hello to Tuna in Laguna,
one of the great nicknames. Hello Tuna in Laguna.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
What's up? Ben Lankers is great, by the way, But
as a longtime Laker fan, I'm disgusted that I have
to call in and bow down to you. This was
just it's a shame. It pains me to say this.
The Clippers are in a way better position as the Lakers.
And here's why.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Laker fans for Clippers, Laker fans for Clippers. All Right,
I like you going, keep going.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Just hear me out.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
I've written down a few points.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Okay, Clippers, don't worry, I'll hear you out.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You talk slowly. I want to enjoy this talk slowly.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
The Clippers owner has billions of dollars and billion toilets.
The Lakers owner has daddy's cash dwindling and a pot
to piss in.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
The other thing.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Rob Plinka leaked all of this thinking it was a
done deal. He's peacockings. I'm not bound down to Lebron.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
It's a great deal. I don't think Hurley played the Lakers.
I think it went out there expecting one hundred million
dollars and the Lakers cheap shot of them five years,
seventy million, like Manti Williams is making fifteen million already.
Coaches the Pistons.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
The gd Pistons like, if you're not offering a five year,
one hundred million dollar contract, then what do we what
are we even doing here? And Bomber like I wish
Bomber was. I called a few weeks ago wishing.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
The Dodgers would buy the Lakers. It's just absolutely you
think this guy's going to uproot his family?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Well, the Dodgers, yeah, I mean, the Dodgers do have
the If Genie Buss ever sells the Lakers, the Dodgers
owners have the first right to buy the Lakers.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
And so yeah, yeah, he needs to sell what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Why would she sell? I mean, there was just no
reason to sell. She loves owning the Lakers. She loves it.
It's just here's somebody. This is just a follow up
and make you look even smarter. Tuna in Laguna. You're
the smartest tuna in Laguna. But they did the numbers.
The sports tax man, who I've had him all I
think I had on my podcast a while back. But
he breaks down how much the money is, how much
(21:23):
is real money and how much is fake money? And
so after you pay the ridiculous California taxes, right, and
and you factor that in, the Laker deal would have
paid about six millionaire, which nobody's gonna sneeze the six millionaire.
But it's only a one point four million more than
the Yukon deal. And it's much cheaper to live and
it's much cheaper to live in the sticks of Connecticut
(21:45):
than it is in Los Angeles.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
That's my whole point. It's like the rock point.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
I thought he was offered like some gem of the deals,
like I'm gonna give them two million more. It's like, dude,
he's got to uproot his whole family move out. So
he's like gutter bombs in la and he's got a
you have.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
A year, ye, well, and you know this in Tune
and Laguna that even Cooper Loop is devastated. He's in
morning right now, he's sitting shiva for the Laker franchise
at this particular pony's devastation.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
You have to know that our ownership is trashed, dude.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Once Doctor Buzz died, it's been done.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, that's all that the timeline is accurate. That you're
not wrong on that since doctor but I really really
even when he got sick.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Near the end there Manchester and Prairie, and I see
that beautiful stadium being built, and I realized the Lakers
are renters. That's right, And the Lakers are renters.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
The palace. That's a great ready, you know what, I'm
giving you a golden tea. That was such a great
bashing of the laker. You gotta go the tag. You
gotta go that deck get.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
No, No, you're good luck getting that golden No.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
It's it's amazing what some calls will do just to
get praised by the host.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
No, No, I'm fair and balanced, as you know. Was disgusting. No,
that was great, man, that was wonderful. He had the
full meat pads on. That was outstanding. You got to
brush your teeth. I need a cigarette, cook, can you
have any cigarettes in there? I need a shower. I
need a nice cold shower, Coop. I'm a little worked up,
a little worked up over here. My good my goodness.
(23:15):
All right, it is the Banemailer show. We will press on.
I see some other big name callers there in the
queue feeding the monsters. We've got that. And perks for days,
perks for days. We'll go there as well. But right now,
let's get you cut about everything going on in the overnight.
A man not wearing a pirate hat tonight. No, the Doyers, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Garcia, Well, it's a black dodger hat. I consider it
my LA hat. It's not really a Dodger hat.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
My niece who grew up in New York, and she
says that the fashion accessory if you grow up in
New York is if you don't if you're having a
bad hair day, you just put on a Yankee cap.
That's the move there in La. Is it a Dodger
hat is just if you're having a bad hair day.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I haven't had a hair day in a while. Well
is my hair vanished? Every That's one way to look
at it.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
By the way, we will we will have an in
depth discussion on this later. But I did notice that
one of the members of the staff is paying homage
to you with the old guy hat on.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
That's cool, that's it. That's an educated man should talk
more about that, all right. I did notice, all right,
that's a knowledgeable man's hat right there. Great homage to
Benny versus the penny.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yeah, that goes right along with your walker.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Back to the NHL, we did have some controversy in
game number two, as Edmondon star Leon Drysdle hit Florida
captain Alexander Barkoff in the head with an elbow in
the third period. Dry Sidle give it a two minute penalty,
but could face a suspension. Barkoff, one of the key
players for the Panthers, also did not return to the game.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So we'll see what both of us. That's advantage edmund
And we're huge advantage for Edmonton because Edmonton has offensive depth, Eddie.
The Panthers do not, and bark Barkoff's going to be
out now. I'm the hockey guy, Eddie. Just work with Medie,
work with me. The Oilers are coming back, Eddie. The
Oilers are coming back Thursday night it begins.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
They might win Game three.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
They might have to use they might have to use
food poisoning, but they're gonna come back, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Oh gosh, they might have to.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
They'll come back. Maybe a fire alarm goes off at
the hotel there in Edmonton for they Panthers. Something that
happens all the time, don't it Where there was.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
A fire alarm they got pold Was it in the
playhouse or something the basketball It was one that did
happen recently. I can't remember who it was that was
in Boston.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
A lot like go around pulling fire alarms at three
in the morning. Yeah, that's all we're gonna sink.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
We saw a fire with a dog.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Well there's a joke there, Eddie, but I'll leave that
alone anyway. It is the Bay Mailers Show as we
continue on through these overnight hours, and glad to have
you hanging out with us. Wanted to mention though, the
feeding the monsters. There is a saying when you're in
the public spear that you should never engage the monsters
(26:14):
because if you feed the monsters, you give them reaction.
They then will create new monsters. And guess who's done that,
Lebron James. Lebron James reacting to a post on rumors
that he does not want to win anymore. How do
you think Lebron handled that? Of course, he played the victim.
(26:37):
Le Bron loves playing the victim. He says, do they
ever know what they're talking about? And he used the
question mark emoji there, and of course that led to
a bunch of Lebron fanboys, who we love you, Lebron.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
You want to win.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
You signed with the Lakers not to win. You sign
with the Lakers because of Hollywood, but we love you Lebron.
So Lebron playing the victim card, feeding the monsters and
that'll encourage more trolls. But he also had his army
of sycophans that were kissing his ass, so he got
that as well and perks for days. It pays to
(27:21):
be Dan Hurley in more ways than one. He's gonna
get a new contract at Connecticut. He turned down the
Laker job, and as a result of staying at Yukon,
Dan Hurley has procured free wings and hot dogs for
the rest of his life. For the rest of the
man's life, whenever he wants wings, he's got him. When
(27:45):
he wants a wiener, somebody's gonna give him a wiener
for free. Whatever he needs. Right there, a local establishment
in Connecticut when these college restaurants has they say, hey,
you stay, we're good. Martin's, Rosal's meets a Butcher has
(28:09):
offered him a part of that deal. And there's a
couple other restaurants you've never heard of because they're local restaurants,
but trust me, they're doing Remember Otani, if he had
signed with the Giants, he was offered like free.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Food, and he didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
He didn't do it because you know, he didn't bet
on that. Let's say hello too, I'm kidding. Let's go
to Anthony in Anaheim. Here's a blast in the past.
Anthony now has more kids than Antonio Kramarti. Hello, Anthony
in Anaheim.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Whoa beny, I'm on work for the next four weeks.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Aren't you excited? Well?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
What's what's the occasion? Another kid? What are we looking
at here? Four weeks? That's a long time.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
I'm I'm scamming the state. You know, I'm using my
baby bonding time.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
But my kids like seven months old.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Okay, So you're just gonna sit around and eat donuts
and the call overnight sports radio.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Oh, I got to stay up weight again. I'm not
working my early shift anymore. I get to get back
in the flow of things.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Now, will you make it, Anthony, We're having a Malard
meet and great in early August. Will Antony and Anaheim
bring the family? There's nothing better than a young family
going to Sin City. I mean, I can't think of
anything better there.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Would it be the.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
First time that I drug my family to a random.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Place to me too, that would definitely not be the
first time. Now you got the right of passage if
you grow up in California, least in southern California. Back
in the day was you've got to take the kids
to uh Circus Circus. That's the move there. And the
great thing. The great thing about Circus Circus is it
looks exactly the same as when I was a child,
and they haven't up they haven't updated that thing at all.
(29:44):
It looks like my God anyway, Yes, no.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
They just attached the dome to the end.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Because I can tell you as a.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Degenerate gambling parent, I have taken my kids to Circus Circus.
And remember I got married in Vegas, so you know,
I'm I'm all, did you get married.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
At the Elvis room or which room?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
The Sinatra Room?
Speaker 8 (30:06):
I got married off Strip, you know, but I was.
I was down to get married by a fake Elvis.
It wasn't a big deal to me.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
I was.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I was with it, all right, I got you, I
got you, all right, very good? All right, Well you'll
be calling for the next four weeks. So that's that's wonderful.
That's great.
Speaker 8 (30:21):
Are you excited then?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
I'm so new Mecca you.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Drove by my, Oh the beautiful studio here in Sherman.
It's beautiful.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
List I couldn't believe, not bad, and I did.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Come on, get real, you're uh the new Clipper Stadium
that's being built.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh oh yeah, that's Maha. We called the taj mall
us Clipper people, that's what we called the Maha.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
It's just like something can actually get some hardware that
It's not just going to be a.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Fair listen, it's the fact they run l A. Now
that's all that matters. They own the town. And you know,
I'll tell you this much. If ste anyway, wait, if Steve,
if Steve Balmer Anthony wanted Dan Hurley, he would have
all offered him twenty million dollars a year. And Dan
Hourley be coaching the Clippers right now, singing the praises
of Benoy, Benjamin and Danny Manning and all them back.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
I think I think if Steve Bomber gave a speech.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
To anybody, he can get them.
Speaker 8 (31:12):
That guy would he would do those Microsoft pitches and
how he talks all crazy.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
You know, he could get me to do anything.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Man, I would.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Buy in, no problem.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, all right, well thank you Anthony and Steve Bamer.
I mean, that's a great testimony. You don't always have.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
To be right.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He's the guy when he worked for Microsoft, got on
stage Steve Bamber and said, who the hell's going to
spend four hundred dollars on an iPhone? No one's gonna
buy these phones. Yeah, Now he's worth one hundred and
twenty five billion dollars, Steve. But I'd be really upset
if I was worth a hundred and twenty five billion,
(31:47):
because you can't live long enough to spend it. You know,
you're gonna leave a big pile of money behind when
you're gone. You just can't. There's no way you can
live long enough to enjoy all that money. Time. Now
for the who am I, We'll go to baseball sports
with Coleman's Orioles a good regular season team, but not
a good postseason team, at least not recently. So they've
made a big move in the offseason. They added Corbin
(32:10):
Burns Mister Burns from the Brew Crew. Corbin Burns is
the eleventh pitcher in Orioles history with at least nine
straight quality starts.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
The most recent person to do that with Baltimore, was
me again. Corbyn Burns just became the eleventh pitcher an
Oriole franchise history with at least nine straight quality starts.
The most recent player to do so was me. Who
am I? That is the question? The answer. We'll get
to it. We will do it next.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Maller, Baltimore Media Mogul Sports with Coleman taking shots at
my West Coast bias. He says, I have West Coast bias,
and when it comes to delis, he says, the best
are here on the East Coast. Whether it's New Jersey, Baltimore,
New York. Well, well it's just across the way there.
(33:36):
It's like it might as well be part of New York.
But yeah, you're wrong, and I would say quantity wise, clearly,
there are a higher quality from top to bottom. In
terms of depth, it's kind of like this in the
NBA Finals. The Celtics have the most depth. So that
would be like the Delis in New York, New Jersey
(33:56):
and the I ninety five quarter there. But in terms
of star power, that'd be like the Mavericks with Luca.
That's Langer's Deli, And so that's the advantage. They're toned
out for the who Am I? Game? Mister Burns Corbyn
Burns has become the eleventh pitcher in Oriole's history with
at least nine straight quality starts. The most recent player
(34:19):
to do so was me Who am I? Ozzie was
in Western Australia going with Beavis and butt Head. Robin
Minnesota says Mike Bodiker is the answer. Stuck in Sacramento
is Steve Baumer's anti perspirant is the way to go?
Who else do we have? Page down Robbie The Mariner
fans going with the Big Dumper obviously, he says. Who
(34:40):
else do we have? Page Down? Eke in Roseville, Minnesota
says Moe Drabowski, Just say mo. Who else do we have?
Alf the Goat Opiner guests by Shane in Des Moines,
Angel Hernandez from The King, Rory Sidney pon Son, the
most obscure Oriole I could think of from Jordan That
(35:02):
is more obscure guys than that. I forty Ian's going
with Craig Swan as his answer, ferg Dog with Genie Boss.
That's a good photo of Genie. She's looking good. Thinks
you going very well. Robin Vegas going with George the
Animal Steele, who I actually did a wrestling promotion with
many many years back. Who else do we have? Page down?
(35:25):
Al Bundy guessed by Chris and des Moines, Pascal Perez
from Alf the Alien, Opineter, Jim Bob Cooter from Trucker
Joe Got to have a Fall, Guy Fed Bosley from
Mister Nice Guy. Who else do we have? El Presidente
Dennis Martinez from the Midnight Walker in Syracuse. Andrew says
(35:48):
the answer is Scott Erickson, who was once married to
Lisa Guerrero. That is correct, and yeah, Scott Erickson was
involved in a very interesting try recently. Mike Mussina guess
by Matthew Warrior Raider, Tom Brady roast fan Eddie, do
you have an answer?
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Please? This is the Malard who am I game? Corbin
Burns the eleventh pitcher in Oriol's history with at least
nine straight quality starts. The most recent to do so was.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
Me, I'm gonna go with former Orioles legend big Ben McDonald.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Big Ben. That is incorrect. The correct answer. I think
this guy more as a Seattle Mariner. But Eric Badard
remember Eric Badard started a pitcher, Yes, a big white
guy twenty oh seven. Now, Jim Palmer does hold the
all time record, and that was back in nineteen seventy nine,
so he does have that. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to Let's say hello to blind Emmett
(36:44):
the Seahawk fan. Hello blind EMMITTT.
Speaker 9 (36:47):
Big Ben Malor, how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
If I was any better, I'd be a Seahawk, but
not a Seattle Seahawk because they're not going to be.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Very good next year.
Speaker 9 (36:57):
Come on, man, you know we got a new future.
I want to talk about this Danny Hurley stuff.
Speaker 7 (37:02):
Ben.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
I mean, this is such a good move for Dan
because like the Lakers, it's such a dumpster fire for
coaching job. Like, yeah, like Lebron he's going to be
thirty nine, and a lot of it is due to
his you know, like Lebron's you know, antic sifty will.
I mean, who knows what's gonna happen with his son, Brony.
So it's just a very like iffy thing for me.
I'm glad for like Dan Hurley didn't take it because now,
(37:23):
like a lot of the times, the coaches, they're like
the scapegoat. So Dan Hurley would have taken every blame
for that and it will just mess up his career.
And shout out Tiger Man in Utah because I was
talking to him the other day.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
He brought up a good point like all the.
Speaker 9 (37:35):
Og like good college coaches are leaving, but now that
Dan Hurley, he's walking in his spot because you know,
you call they're going back to back baby. So I
mean it's a great move for Dan Hurley. I mean,
I'm a laugh at the Lakers get JJ Reddick because like,
what's he doing. He's pulling a gott Lead like doing
the Houston podcast. Wow, the Lakers with Lebron, Like.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Come on, yeah, all right, look at that. You're rather
a tat tat the hot tape. Blind Seahawks man em Emmett,
the blind Seahawk fan just rat a tat tat this guy.
Just overwhelming the airways with hot takes, one after another
Here we go. Welcome, It's our Nu bir one hour
one of the original Recipe podcast. A Happy Tuesday to you,
this the eleventh day of the month of Juni. You
probably already knew that by looking at your phone or
hearing it from a friend. But here in our number one,
it's all about the big stories. Play the hits, my man,
(00:20):
play the hits. Coaching carousel spinning out of control in
the NBA. Why did Dan Hurley say now to the
Lakers after all that public courtship over the weekend? And
now embarrassing is the rejection of Dan Hurley in Lakerland
as he decides to stay in college rather than coach
(00:42):
of the NBA. And where do the Lakers turn now
for their next head coach? The job is still open.
The blank spot on the bingo card continues. All of
that coming your way right now, and some surprises along
the way as well. Here it is our number one.
Call it a case of purple and punked. Welcome, in
(01:08):
the beginning of another night of the Benmahlor Show. We
are in the air everywhere, waddling along as we give
you the express written consent to listen to this show.
Coast to coast, border to border, in beyond all the maast,
indefinitely powerful microphones of fs are emmundating live from the
(01:34):
bakery as we sell these takes literally by the dozen.
As we are broadcasting live from the Tiraq dot com
studios tyraq dot com. We'll help you get there and
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers. DJ Infamous has played that
(01:56):
many records. As we are hanging out with you here
tyraq dot com. The way tire buying should be. Play
the head small man play this will play the hits
so ely this hour coming from skid Row that is
where the Lakers play their basketball games on skid Row
and the highly publicized coaching search, we have a conclusion.
(02:18):
We have closure, and I assume you've heard by now,
but maybe you're a little slow. You have things going on,
you're not paying attention. But after a highly publicized weekend fling,
Dan Hurley has said no. He has rejected a massive
(02:40):
amount of money to coach the Lakers, instead continue on
as the coach at Yukon. He will not be going
to the NBA, at least not now. As Dan Hurley
given the VIP trip to La La Land over the weekend.
He was whined and dined by the Laker front office,
Laker ownership, and then the moment of truth and he
(03:03):
swiped left, not right, he swiped left. He said, I
am uninterested. You suck, get out of here. Your team blows.
That's essentially what he said. Hurley declining seventy million dollars.
Of course, with California taxes, that's about seventeen dollars, but
still seventy million in average of almost twelve million a year,
(03:26):
little less than twelve million a year. He turned down
cowhard Money's what he turned down. Who turns down cowhard money?
He did, all right? So Dan Hurley turning down all
that money. The discussion. Let's have a little conversation here
talk radio. We'll have a conversation. So the question is
why why did Dan Hurley reject the very public courtship
(03:48):
from the Lakers. So I've got TikTok, Banana, cream pie,
and army, and we will connect all of these things
together and we are going to make a nice celebratory party,
which I'm guessing Dan Hurley had a nice party on Monday.
Everyone kissed his ascid in Connecticut and said, oh, we
love you Dan. Thanks for strewing the Lakers over, Thanks
(04:11):
for making them look like a bunch of losers. Thank
you all right. So a my first observation on this
story is that Dan Hurley did the right thing. He
did the thing you have to do with the time
you have to do it. Good job by him, and
it was pretty much telegraphed. I think you'd agree on this.
Dan Hurley would have been a fool. The village would
(04:34):
have been without its idiot if Dan Hurley had taken
this job. He's sitting right now at the summit. Granted
it's college basketball, but he's at the summit of college basketball.
And with all these old codgers getting out of the
college game in recent years, the old guard like Jim
Beeheim and coach k and that realm of coaches, you've
(04:56):
got John Calipari who's now at Arkansas. But out side
of that, and really Kyl Pars in terms of wins
and losses championships, is already behind the success of Hurley.
So Hurley's at the summit, and why would you leave
that to go to a Laker franchise that is crumbling?
(05:18):
Everyone knows that every man, woman and child knows what's
going on with the Lakers. It's a dead end job.
And when the decision comes, you're at pork chop Island?
Right do you go to the Lakers dead end job
franchise that has bad ownership, bad GM skinny jeans? The
general manager there Lebron James agent rapidly and who knows
(05:39):
if he'll even be back. Although it seems like this
is all being orchestrated by Lebron. You've got Anthony Davis,
the unibrow who is built out of toilet paper, but
not the good Kirkling brand toilet paper. The one ply,
you know, that terrible one ply when you go to
the store and you have to go to the bathroom
in the back and they get the cheapest toilet paper,
that's Anthony Davis. The rest of the roster, though, is
(06:00):
a hodgepodge of nothingness. That's the Laker. Why would you
want that job? The money? The only reason to take
the job is the way, And it's not that that's
a terrible reason. That's like a horrible reason to take
the money. But you just have this emptiness there. And
for all the bragging about being a multi billion dollar
(06:23):
international mega brand, which the Lakers love to tell you about.
They love to pump their chest out and strut around
like a peacock. Where are the Lakers? They can get
anybody they want, haha. Not a college coach who chose
to stay in stores, Connecticut with a population of about
sixteen thousand, turning down Tinseltown, said go pound sand I
(06:44):
don't want to coach the Lakers, and the Lakers continue
to be all sizzle and no steak. That's the problem there,
and I love it. I hope it continues for years
to come. But Dan Hurley, we know what he did.
I tell you exactly what did. He hummed some bars
of Panoman because that's where he went. He flew out
to La interviewed with the Lakers, then flew back to
(07:05):
the East Coast in time to make it to a
concert at Madison Square Garden at MSG right there. And
the payoff on this for Hurley it would appear the
media dopes providing him with TikTok influencer level clout. Can
(07:27):
you imagine Dan Hurley? And this is my head. I
don't know about yours, but in my head, that cartoon
bubble I've got Dan Hurley doing a pirouette as he
gives the bird to Genie Buss and the Lakers because
Yukon will pay him a little more money. They're already
talking about redoing his contract. They just redid his contract,
(07:47):
so he'll payhim more money. He can then brag to
all the players that are only going to Connecticut because
of the nil deals anyway, but he'll bragg to them
nonetheless about how he's the guy that turned down the Lakers.
He said, screw you, that Connecticut is so special that
I couldn't go coach Lebron James. I turn him down.
(08:08):
It's a pretty good feather in the cap. I would
say I had pretty good feather in the cap here
in terms of braggadociousness. Now page two here, how embarrassing
is Dan Hurley's rejection in Lakerland. The historians who love
to talk about all their success, but it's gonna be
devastating with the Celtics, who already are ahead of the
(08:29):
Lakers and championships at another one. They're two wins away
from that happening. But on the Malard scale of humiliation
for Dan Hurley sticking it to the Lakers, rejecting them.
A Malord scale of humiliation one to ten, with ten
being sending a text message to the wrong person and
some graphic photographs in that text message. The Lakers get
(08:50):
a nine point oh on the Malor scale of humiliation.
This is I'll tell you what. This is what the
Lakers did by even contact Dan Hurley and not doing
their due diligence. What they did is a kin to
being called on in class by the teacher and you
were daydreaming and you were not paying attention. It's rather embarrassing, right,
(09:11):
he's hey, can you tell me about what's on page
thirty two? We just covered it. Well. Actually, I was
thinking about the turkey sandwich I was going to have
for lunch, and I'm sorry, professor, I did not pay attention.
It's a banana cream pie, not a good one, A
cheap banana cream pie, right to the face, right, what
kind of mama Lukes with the Lakers are so delusional
(09:36):
that they thought Dan Hurley, who turned down Kentucky and
other big time jobs, that he was going to leave
Connecticut for a mid NBA job, a second rate NBA job.
Genie Buss who's not a great owner. I mean look
at a resumeation not very good as an owner. It's
being honest and Rob Polinka tweedled the and tweedled dumb.
(10:02):
A couple of Dingleberry's there with the Lakers. Read the room,
do some opposition research. Dan Hurley is in his early fifties.
He's in his early fifties. He has worked as a
coach since he finished playing college basketball, and he started
as a high school assistant coach in nineteen ninety six.
Every gig that he has had, all of those years,
(10:25):
way back in nineteen ninety six to all the way
till now, every one of those jobs has been in
the I ninety five corridor. He's a New Jersey guy,
he married a New Jersey girl. He's never left that
I ninety five quarter, within a short drive of the
motherland in New Jersey. Our last word, so, where do
(10:45):
the Lakers turn now that they have been pants in
their head coaching search that everyone knows whoever they hire,
whoever they hire will not be the guy that they
wanted originally. That's the issue here. So at this point,
the immediate thing is you circle the wagons and you
(11:06):
enter the spin zone. Spin spin, spin, not the spin cycle.
Because that's a caller that used to call the show,
but she doesn't call anymore in Colorado. But you enter
the spin zone, all right, and you attempt at this
point you would dust yourself off, I would think, right,
put an ice pack, maybe some ibuprofen, pharmacy, great ibuprofen,
because you got a headache. And whoever the Lakers get though,
(11:29):
and there's no way to spin this in any other direction,
has stank on them. You know that, and I know that,
and everyone knows that they are not the preferred choice.
So the Lakers are gonna have to go go army,
if you will. Now what does that mean? Go army here?
Not the US Army. No, no, no, the Lakers are going
to have to go Salvation army. And they're gonna have
(11:50):
to jump into that red kettle. You know the Cowboys
when they play on Thanksgiving, they always of that red
kettle in the end zone and sometimes players jump into
it and the NFL gets very upset and finds them
and say, oh, are you you'll cut up?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
They got to jump into the red kettle and get
some like a handy down, hand me down coach, you
know some some pre used coach, and the former Hornets
coach has been mentioned. James Barrego has been tossed out
as a possibility, and I still think it's going to
(12:23):
be jj Reddick, And I can't wait to laugh when
you hire Lebron's podcast buddy as your coach. And I
just think that's going to be wonderful and I will
have a wonderful guffaw when that that happens. I hope
that happens. Let's speak that into existence. It is the
Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to comment on any

(14:48):
at Eddie on Fox and I'm live from the tyrack
dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
We roll on through the overnight. Tony Wright Sin says
Dan Hurley played the Lakers to get more money out
of Yukon. Right out of the Malard playbook. Oh yeah,
when my contract's up, I always have a seven offers
And I go to Don Martin and I say, Don,
I've got seven offers, and he says, don't let the
(15:16):
door hit you where the good Lord split you and laughs,
He laughs his ass off every time, every single time. Absolutely.
Steve says that I am next in line for the
Laker job. Well, I would consider it. You know, our
former guy, our colleague, Jay Moore is owning, he owns
the Lakers now. Jay used to work here as a
(15:37):
talk show host and he's the owner of the Lakers now,
So I can work for Jay. We got along when
Jay worked here. Nothing bad to say about Jay. King
Roy writes and says, we all know the real reason
why Hurley turned down the Laker job is because he
didn't want to deal with the gang warfare. He says
around Crypto Arena. Hurley would rather stay in the Northeast
(16:00):
in his luxury mansion and pompous confidants who are civilized
and obedient, he says. Shane in Des Moines says, Bronni
needs to work out for the Mercury and the Sparks.
I don't know what that is if he's attempting to
be drafted and played pro bouncy ball, Okay Milkman. Mike
in Colorado says, gigantic first hour, opening mile of monologue,
(16:24):
it is no coincidence that the Lakers are becoming more
and more of a joke. With a former comedian being
part of the ownership, maybe they could become a sitcom
and start tgif again there you go, all right, g
Manage in Chicago is encouraging me. He thought I did
(16:46):
not go hard enough on the Lakers. I thought I
was fair and balanced in that malad prop Guy says
been very nice and the mal of monologue regarding the
Lakers opening coaching position. However, I think we are expecting
more shot in freude. That's what mal prop Guy knows.
I didn't go full guns of blazing here. So there's
any chance that behind door number three Moneyball Mallord will
(17:09):
be mentioned as a coaching option. Well, I love my
job here. Now if that TV show doesn't get picked up,
and Poppy did say the show is going to be
picked up, so maybe I'll have to I'll have to
consider that at that point, you know. Matt the Warrior
Raider Tom Brady rose Fan says that entire opening monologue
(17:30):
felt like an opportunity for you to troll Laker historians,
and for some reason, that monologue felt like you twisted
the knife a couple of extra turns.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Seven.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
No, I would never do that. You've been with the
show a long time. Matt, You're win my loyal foot soldiers,
even though you're often wrong about your takes and you
cheat at the trivia games that I play. But I
still put up with your bull crap. And maybe someday
I'll meet you at the Kingfish there in Oakland, and
hopefully our cars won't get stolen when we're at that
that establishment there in Oakland. But that monologue was more
than a seven and out of ten, Art Puffin, you
(18:01):
know it's big. If Art Puffin's listening, he says, a plus.
And some pastrami tacos. I've never had a pastrami talk.
You ever had a pastrami taco? No, Mark shaking his head.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
No, I have not, but I would.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, I've had pastrami pizza yet pastrami pizza. No, that's
really good. Yeah, it's hard to screw up pastrami. Now,
do you like? Here's the other course about straying pastrami?
Do you like the there's two different styles. There's the
kind there's Johnny's Pastrami here in La Eddie. Don't know
if you've been there that has like the kind of
the wet I guess it's called the wet pastrami. It's
(18:34):
in the sandwich, and then they have the traditional deli pastrami,
which you would get at your traditional New York style deli.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
No, I've only had the traditional so I can't.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Say I'm used to that like my favorite deli. And
this pisses people off in New York. But the greatest
deli I've ever been to is in la actually, right
across from MacArthur Park. We can get shanked anytime you
want twenty four hours. Yes, Slanger's Deli is by far.
And I've been to all the big delis in New York,
and I've been to delhis in other city, Chicago and
other places, and nothing has matched Lanker. And that's why
(19:08):
they charged eighty seven dollars a sandwich. Hey, that's why
they can do that. That's an expensive sandwich. I don't
go to the very offense any Let's take a call
or call it to Let's say hello to Tuna in Laguna,
one of the great nicknames. Hello Tuna in Laguna.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
What's up? Ben Lankers is great, by the way, But
as a longtime Laker fan, I'm disgusted that I have
to call in and bow down to you. This was
just it's a shame. It pains me to say this.
The Clippers are in a way better position as the Lakers.
And here's why.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Laker fans for Clippers, Laker fans for Clippers. All Right,
I like you going, keep going.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Just hear me out.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
I've written down a few points.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Okay, Clippers, don't worry, I'll hear you out.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You talk slowly. I want to enjoy this talk slowly.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
The Clippers owner has billions of dollars and billion toilets.
The Lakers owner has daddy's cash dwindling and a pot
to piss in.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
The other thing.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Rob Plinka leaked all of this thinking it was a
done deal. He's peacockings. I'm not bound down to Lebron.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
It's a great deal. I don't think Hurley played the Lakers.
I think it went out there expecting one hundred million
dollars and the Lakers cheap shot of them five years,
seventy million, like Manti Williams is making fifteen million already.
Coaches the Pistons.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
The gd Pistons like, if you're not offering a five year,
one hundred million dollar contract, then what do we what
are we even doing here? And Bomber like I wish
Bomber was. I called a few weeks ago wishing.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
The Dodgers would buy the Lakers. It's just absolutely you
think this guy's going to uproot his family?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Well, the Dodgers, yeah, I mean, the Dodgers do have
the If Genie Buss ever sells the Lakers, the Dodgers
owners have the first right to buy the Lakers.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
And so yeah, yeah, he needs to sell what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Why would she sell? I mean, there was just no
reason to sell. She loves owning the Lakers. She loves it.
It's just here's somebody. This is just a follow up
and make you look even smarter. Tuna in Laguna. You're
the smartest tuna in Laguna. But they did the numbers.
The sports tax man, who I've had him all I
think I had on my podcast a while back. But
he breaks down how much the money is, how much
(21:23):
is real money and how much is fake money? And
so after you pay the ridiculous California taxes, right, and
and you factor that in, the Laker deal would have
paid about six millionaire, which nobody's gonna sneeze the six millionaire.
But it's only a one point four million more than
the Yukon deal. And it's much cheaper to live and
it's much cheaper to live in the sticks of Connecticut
(21:45):
than it is in Los Angeles.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
That's my whole point. It's like the rock point.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
I thought he was offered like some gem of the deals,
like I'm gonna give them two million more. It's like, dude,
he's got to uproot his whole family move out. So
he's like gutter bombs in la and he's got a
you have.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
A year, ye, well, and you know this in Tune
and Laguna that even Cooper Loop is devastated. He's in
morning right now, he's sitting shiva for the Laker franchise
at this particular pony's devastation.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
You have to know that our ownership is trashed, dude.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Once Doctor Buzz died, it's been done.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, that's all that the timeline is accurate. That you're
not wrong on that since doctor but I really really
even when he got sick.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Near the end there Manchester and Prairie, and I see
that beautiful stadium being built, and I realized the Lakers
are renters. That's right, And the Lakers are renters.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
The palace. That's a great ready, you know what, I'm
giving you a golden tea. That was such a great
bashing of the laker. You gotta go the tag. You
gotta go that deck get.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
No, No, you're good luck getting that golden No.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
It's it's amazing what some calls will do just to
get praised by the host.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
No, No, I'm fair and balanced, as you know. Was disgusting. No,
that was great, man, that was wonderful. He had the
full meat pads on. That was outstanding. You got to
brush your teeth. I need a cigarette, cook, can you
have any cigarettes in there? I need a shower. I
need a nice cold shower, Coop. I'm a little worked up,
a little worked up over here. My good my goodness.
(23:15):
All right, it is the Banemailer show. We will press on.
I see some other big name callers there in the
queue feeding the monsters. We've got that. And perks for days,
perks for days. We'll go there as well. But right now,
let's get you cut about everything going on in the overnight.
A man not wearing a pirate hat tonight. No, the Doyers, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Garcia, Well, it's a black dodger hat. I consider it
my LA hat. It's not really a Dodger hat.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
My niece who grew up in New York, and she
says that the fashion accessory if you grow up in
New York is if you don't if you're having a
bad hair day, you just put on a Yankee cap.
That's the move there in La. Is it a Dodger
hat is just if you're having a bad hair day.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I haven't had a hair day in a while. Well
is my hair vanished? Every That's one way to look
at it.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
By the way, we will we will have an in
depth discussion on this later. But I did notice that
one of the members of the staff is paying homage
to you with the old guy hat on.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
That's cool, that's it. That's an educated man should talk
more about that, all right. I did notice, all right,
that's a knowledgeable man's hat right there. Great homage to
Benny versus the penny.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yeah, that goes right along with your walker.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Back to the NHL, we did have some controversy in
game number two, as Edmondon star Leon Drysdle hit Florida
captain Alexander Barkoff in the head with an elbow in
the third period. Dry Sidle give it a two minute penalty,
but could face a suspension. Barkoff, one of the key
players for the Panthers, also did not return to the game.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So we'll see what both of us. That's advantage edmund
And we're huge advantage for Edmonton because Edmonton has offensive depth, Eddie.
The Panthers do not, and bark Barkoff's going to be
out now. I'm the hockey guy, Eddie. Just work with Medie,
work with me. The Oilers are coming back, Eddie. The
Oilers are coming back Thursday night it begins.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
They might win Game three.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
They might have to use they might have to use
food poisoning, but they're gonna come back, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Oh gosh, they might have to.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
They'll come back. Maybe a fire alarm goes off at
the hotel there in Edmonton for they Panthers. Something that
happens all the time, don't it Where there was.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
A fire alarm they got pold Was it in the
playhouse or something the basketball It was one that did
happen recently. I can't remember who it was that was
in Boston.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
A lot like go around pulling fire alarms at three
in the morning. Yeah, that's all we're gonna sink.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
We saw a fire with a dog.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Well there's a joke there, Eddie, but I'll leave that
alone anyway. It is the Bay Mailers Show as we
continue on through these overnight hours, and glad to have
you hanging out with us. Wanted to mention though, the
feeding the monsters. There is a saying when you're in
the public spear that you should never engage the monsters
(26:14):
because if you feed the monsters, you give them reaction.
They then will create new monsters. And guess who's done that,
Lebron James. Lebron James reacting to a post on rumors
that he does not want to win anymore. How do
you think Lebron handled that? Of course, he played the victim.
(26:37):
Le Bron loves playing the victim. He says, do they
ever know what they're talking about? And he used the
question mark emoji there, and of course that led to
a bunch of Lebron fanboys, who we love you, Lebron.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
You want to win.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
You signed with the Lakers not to win. You sign
with the Lakers because of Hollywood, but we love you Lebron.
So Lebron playing the victim card, feeding the monsters and
that'll encourage more trolls. But he also had his army
of sycophans that were kissing his ass, so he got
that as well and perks for days. It pays to
(27:21):
be Dan Hurley in more ways than one. He's gonna
get a new contract at Connecticut. He turned down the
Laker job, and as a result of staying at Yukon,
Dan Hurley has procured free wings and hot dogs for
the rest of his life. For the rest of the
man's life, whenever he wants wings, he's got him. When
(27:45):
he wants a wiener, somebody's gonna give him a wiener
for free. Whatever he needs. Right there, a local establishment
in Connecticut when these college restaurants has they say, hey,
you stay, we're good. Martin's, Rosal's meets a Butcher has
(28:09):
offered him a part of that deal. And there's a
couple other restaurants you've never heard of because they're local restaurants,
but trust me, they're doing Remember Otani, if he had
signed with the Giants, he was offered like free.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Food, and he didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
He didn't do it because you know, he didn't bet
on that. Let's say hello too, I'm kidding. Let's go
to Anthony in Anaheim. Here's a blast in the past.
Anthony now has more kids than Antonio Kramarti. Hello, Anthony
in Anaheim.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Whoa beny, I'm on work for the next four weeks.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Aren't you excited? Well?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
What's what's the occasion? Another kid? What are we looking
at here? Four weeks? That's a long time.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
I'm I'm scamming the state. You know, I'm using my
baby bonding time.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
But my kids like seven months old.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Okay, So you're just gonna sit around and eat donuts
and the call overnight sports radio.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Oh, I got to stay up weight again. I'm not
working my early shift anymore. I get to get back
in the flow of things.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Now, will you make it, Anthony, We're having a Malard
meet and great in early August. Will Antony and Anaheim
bring the family? There's nothing better than a young family
going to Sin City. I mean, I can't think of
anything better there.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Would it be the.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
First time that I drug my family to a random.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Place to me too, that would definitely not be the
first time. Now you got the right of passage if
you grow up in California, least in southern California. Back
in the day was you've got to take the kids
to uh Circus Circus. That's the move there. And the
great thing. The great thing about Circus Circus is it
looks exactly the same as when I was a child,
and they haven't up they haven't updated that thing at all.
(29:44):
It looks like my God anyway, Yes, no.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
They just attached the dome to the end.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Because I can tell you as a.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Degenerate gambling parent, I have taken my kids to Circus Circus.
And remember I got married in Vegas, so you know,
I'm I'm all, did you get married.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
At the Elvis room or which room?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
The Sinatra Room?
Speaker 8 (30:06):
I got married off Strip, you know, but I was.
I was down to get married by a fake Elvis.
It wasn't a big deal to me.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
I was.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I was with it, all right, I got you, I
got you, all right, very good? All right, Well you'll
be calling for the next four weeks. So that's that's wonderful.
That's great.
Speaker 8 (30:21):
Are you excited then?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
I'm so new Mecca you.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Drove by my, Oh the beautiful studio here in Sherman.
It's beautiful.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
List I couldn't believe, not bad, and I did.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Come on, get real, you're uh the new Clipper Stadium
that's being built.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh oh yeah, that's Maha. We called the taj mall
us Clipper people, that's what we called the Maha.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
It's just like something can actually get some hardware that
It's not just going to be a.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Fair listen, it's the fact they run l A. Now
that's all that matters. They own the town. And you know,
I'll tell you this much. If ste anyway, wait, if Steve,
if Steve Balmer Anthony wanted Dan Hurley, he would have
all offered him twenty million dollars a year. And Dan
Hourley be coaching the Clippers right now, singing the praises
of Benoy, Benjamin and Danny Manning and all them back.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
I think I think if Steve Bomber gave a speech.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
To anybody, he can get them.
Speaker 8 (31:12):
That guy would he would do those Microsoft pitches and
how he talks all crazy.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
You know, he could get me to do anything.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Man, I would.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Buy in, no problem.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, all right, well thank you Anthony and Steve Bamer.
I mean, that's a great testimony. You don't always have.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
To be right.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He's the guy when he worked for Microsoft, got on
stage Steve Bamber and said, who the hell's going to
spend four hundred dollars on an iPhone? No one's gonna
buy these phones. Yeah, Now he's worth one hundred and
twenty five billion dollars, Steve. But I'd be really upset
if I was worth a hundred and twenty five billion,
(31:47):
because you can't live long enough to spend it. You know,
you're gonna leave a big pile of money behind when
you're gone. You just can't. There's no way you can
live long enough to enjoy all that money. Time. Now
for the who am I, We'll go to baseball sports
with Coleman's Orioles a good regular season team, but not
a good postseason team, at least not recently. So they've
made a big move in the offseason. They added Corbin
(32:10):
Burns Mister Burns from the Brew Crew. Corbin Burns is
the eleventh pitcher in Orioles history with at least nine
straight quality starts.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
The most recent person to do that with Baltimore, was
me again. Corbyn Burns just became the eleventh pitcher an
Oriole franchise history with at least nine straight quality starts.
The most recent player to do so was me. Who
am I? That is the question? The answer. We'll get
to it. We will do it next.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Maller, Baltimore Media Mogul Sports with Coleman taking shots at
my West Coast bias. He says, I have West Coast bias,
and when it comes to delis, he says, the best
are here on the East Coast. Whether it's New Jersey, Baltimore,
New York. Well, well it's just across the way there.
(33:36):
It's like it might as well be part of New York.
But yeah, you're wrong, and I would say quantity wise, clearly,
there are a higher quality from top to bottom. In
terms of depth, it's kind of like this in the
NBA Finals. The Celtics have the most depth. So that
would be like the Delis in New York, New Jersey
(33:56):
and the I ninety five quarter there. But in terms
of star power, that'd be like the Mavericks with Luca.
That's Langer's Deli, And so that's the advantage. They're toned
out for the who Am I? Game? Mister Burns Corbyn
Burns has become the eleventh pitcher in Oriole's history with
at least nine straight quality starts. The most recent player
(34:19):
to do so was me Who am I? Ozzie was
in Western Australia going with Beavis and butt Head. Robin
Minnesota says Mike Bodiker is the answer. Stuck in Sacramento
is Steve Baumer's anti perspirant is the way to go?
Who else do we have? Page down Robbie The Mariner
fans going with the Big Dumper obviously, he says. Who
(34:40):
else do we have? Page Down? Eke in Roseville, Minnesota
says Moe Drabowski, Just say mo. Who else do we have?
Alf the Goat Opiner guests by Shane in Des Moines,
Angel Hernandez from The King, Rory Sidney pon Son, the
most obscure Oriole I could think of from Jordan That
(35:02):
is more obscure guys than that. I forty Ian's going
with Craig Swan as his answer, ferg Dog with Genie Boss.
That's a good photo of Genie. She's looking good. Thinks
you going very well. Robin Vegas going with George the
Animal Steele, who I actually did a wrestling promotion with
many many years back. Who else do we have? Page down?
(35:25):
Al Bundy guessed by Chris and des Moines, Pascal Perez
from Alf the Alien, Opineter, Jim Bob Cooter from Trucker
Joe Got to have a Fall, Guy Fed Bosley from
Mister Nice Guy. Who else do we have? El Presidente
Dennis Martinez from the Midnight Walker in Syracuse. Andrew says
(35:48):
the answer is Scott Erickson, who was once married to
Lisa Guerrero. That is correct, and yeah, Scott Erickson was
involved in a very interesting try recently. Mike Mussina guess
by Matthew Warrior Raider, Tom Brady roast fan Eddie, do
you have an answer?
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Please? This is the Malard who am I game? Corbin
Burns the eleventh pitcher in Oriol's history with at least
nine straight quality starts. The most recent to do so was.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
Me, I'm gonna go with former Orioles legend big Ben McDonald.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Big Ben. That is incorrect. The correct answer. I think
this guy more as a Seattle Mariner. But Eric Badard
remember Eric Badard started a pitcher, Yes, a big white
guy twenty oh seven. Now, Jim Palmer does hold the
all time record, and that was back in nineteen seventy nine,
so he does have that. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to Let's say hello to blind Emmett
(36:44):
the Seahawk fan. Hello blind EMMITTT.
Speaker 9 (36:47):
Big Ben Malor, how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
If I was any better, I'd be a Seahawk, but
not a Seattle Seahawk because they're not going to be.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Very good next year.
Speaker 9 (36:57):
Come on, man, you know we got a new future.
I want to talk about this Danny Hurley stuff.
Speaker 7 (37:02):
Ben.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
I mean, this is such a good move for Dan
because like the Lakers, it's such a dumpster fire for
coaching job. Like, yeah, like Lebron he's going to be
thirty nine, and a lot of it is due to
his you know, like Lebron's you know, antic sifty will.
I mean, who knows what's gonna happen with his son, Brony.
So it's just a very like iffy thing for me.
I'm glad for like Dan Hurley didn't take it because now,
(37:23):
like a lot of the times, the coaches, they're like
the scapegoat. So Dan Hurley would have taken every blame
for that and it will just mess up his career.
And shout out Tiger Man in Utah because I was
talking to him the other day.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
He brought up a good point like all the.
Speaker 9 (37:35):
Og like good college coaches are leaving, but now that
Dan Hurley, he's walking in his spot because you know,
you call they're going back to back baby. So I
mean it's a great move for Dan Hurley. I mean,
I'm a laugh at the Lakers get JJ Reddick because like,
what's he doing. He's pulling a gott Lead like doing
the Houston podcast. Wow, the Lakers with Lebron, Like.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Come on, yeah, all right, look at that. You're rather
a tat tat the hot tape. Blind Seahawks man em Emmett,
the blind Seahawk fan just rat a tat tat this guy.
Just overwhelming the airways with hot takes, one after another
