Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our numb bird too as we attempt to kick
some butt. And here in hour two, we dissect the
popular take by popular people Draymond Green Joel Embiid who
believe that the Bucks trading Drew Holliday, who eventually landed
with the Celtics, gifted Boston the championship.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Which way are you leaning on this one?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We'll actually explain why it's a superstar player, but not
on the Celtics that helped orchestrate Boston's championship run. JJ
Reddick is going to spend this weekend interviewing for the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Head coaching job. How do you expect that to go?
And Dan Hurley denying.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
That his Laker interest was a leverage play, saying it's
one of the dumbest takes, although he didn't say what.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
A good take was. Is that how you see it?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We'll get to all of that and much more right
now here. It is our number two.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Got it all figured out, all of it welco. In
the beginning of another hour of The Ben Mahlor Show, we.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Using pitchforks as we have all the fixings coast, border.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
The border and beyond on the.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Mast and forcefully powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Ten thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's been about ten thousand days since JJ in Renton
called the show tire raq dot com the way tire
buying should should be. So I leave this hour from
pro Bouncy Ball and this is the part of the
show where we would break down the excitement of game
number four of the NBA Finals, But that would be
(02:03):
wrong because there is none. The finals are a dud.
The basketball Finals suck. Dallas is a fraudulent franchise. They're
a weak number five seed. They're playing like it. But
there is a story bubbling up around the games, the
story within the story, which is much more compelling, much
more interesting than talking more about a series which is lopsided. Now,
(02:25):
this involves a popular opinion by popular people on who
is responsible for the Celtics knocking on the door. They're
knocking right there for a banner so you might have
seen this, but maybe not, Maybe you missed it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You think it's you think it's Jalen Brown, you think
it's Jason Tatum. Who do you think it is?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well, the question was post by Sixer center Joel Eenbiid,
and then the question was answered by Warriors big mouth
Draymond Green the podcaster, and they are in who's here
believing that the Milwaukee Bucks are responsible for Boston being
on the brink of winning a title, getting rid of
(03:09):
guard Drew Holliday who ended up in the Dame Lillard
trade and then eventually ends up in the Commonwealth in
Massachusetts there and he was the missing link. Of course,
before the finals started, we were told Chris tops Porzingis
was the missing.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Link, but now it's Drue Holiday. Now Embiid posed the question.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Green took the bait, took a bite out of it,
started chewing on it and said that of Milwaukee, they
did give the Celtics the championship.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Joel Embiid knew the answer.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Draymond the podcaster said, and absolutely correct, it did give
them a championship. He stayed in Boston, has done the
job of putting it together. Got to give those guys
credit blah blah blah blah blah. Right, so let us
discuss the question. Draymond Green, it certainly seems like they
agree that the Bucks, they're in kahoots here, the Bucks
(04:04):
trading away Drew Holliday and him ending up eventually with
the Celtics gifted in air quotes, gifted Boston the championship,
which they have yet to officially officially wrap up and
put the lock on that.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
But which way are you leaning on this one? Which
way are you leaning on this?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Are you in agreement with Raymond Green and in agreement
with Joel embiid or not? So I've got Manifesto, Truffles
and Wrestling Superstar and we will combine all of these
things together.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And we are going to reach an understanding. Is what
we're going to reach now.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
First of all, Draymond Green and Joel and bed are
player Hayton is what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And I don't agree with their take. And I'll tell
you why.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
A Holiday who has been marvelous, he's been a chef's
kiss for the Celtics in these NBA finals. But I'm
going to quote a guy that used to call this
show them was banned for life.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Real talk. I'm gonna give you some real talk. Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
These guys, Draymond and Joelle emb just generically generically gave
credit to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
But it's a misguided take. And these are amateurs.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
They're not tex expert, all right, and they're not they're
not experts at the hot take and all that. So
they just didn't have the basket balls to.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Direct the missile at the right location. Right.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The Bucks would make the Dame Liverard Drew holiday trade
one hundred out of one hundred times.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Now, why would they do that? They helped the Celtics
win the championship. They explained this to.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I'm gonna explain it to you like you're five years old, okay.
In their inbox, the Milwaukee Bucks ownership in front office
received a passive aggressive manifesto from Yannis Adenta Koba.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You remember, because I remember we talked about it. It
was a had some note.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
He was starting to squirm, just like every other star
that's not in La or Miami's starting to squirm a
little bit, demanding reinforcements, sending signals that he was gonna
leave Milwaukee, needed a second star, and so the Milwaukee
front office said, okay, let's get a partnership, consummated, and
(06:25):
they made the trade. And Dame Lillard is a better
player than Drew Holliday. He was a better player when
the trade happened.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
He's still a better player.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's the Blazers, though, who ultimately flipped Drew Holiday to Boston.
And so it's the Portland Trailblazers who aren't relevant at all,
but they're the team that screwed over the Miami Heat
because remember, Dame Lillard wanted to go to Miami, the
Dame train. And then they gave the double whammy because
(06:56):
Drew Holliday wanted to play for the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
He's from LA. He's an LA guy.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
He's from Studio City, went to high school in Studio City,
went to the same high school as the the Olsen
Twins back in the day.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
But anyway, that's aside the point. So Drew Holliday is a.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Guy wanted to play for the Clipping or the Lakers,
you know, the evil Lakers. But the Blazer's like, we
don't want to send him to a team in the West,
so they traded him to Boston and then the Celtics
paid him, and that's how it went down. But it
was because Giannis wanted Dame Lillard. That's why the trade happened.
And the ownership would not trade Dame Lillard too in Portland,
(07:32):
would not trade him down Miami Way. They kept him
on the Oregon Trail and send him out to Wisconsin.
All right, now, secondly to Tinseltown, it's happening. It is
happening this weekend, Father's Day week at JJ Reddick. JJ
Redick is going to officially interview for the Laker head
coaching job this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
How do you expect this to go? That's also a
sign that the.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
ABC executives are convinced that the Celtics are going to
win that game tonight. Otherwise Reddick would have to be
preparing for Game five of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Finals, But instead it's gonna be a sweep and Reddick.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Will be free to roam around the country and interview
for the Laker job.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So how do you expect this Laker interview to go?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
So?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
JJ Reddick was and continues to be driving the pace car.
He's in the pace car. He is Lebron's audio alter ego.
He's the one when Lebron needs his toes licked. He
turns to JJ Reddick and so Genie Buss and skinny jeans,
Rob Polenka and JJ will sit together at some high
(08:38):
end restaurant, eating lobster cavir and enjoying many plates of truffles,
and they'll polish off some expensive wine. They'll finish the
night with a nice, rich chocolate cake and then they'll
consummate the relationship. But from a show I saw this,
I thought it was a good one. From from showtime
to woe time in Lakerland, JJ red and so many
(09:01):
ways is perfect for the Lakers. He's got no experience,
he's unqualified, and yet he's the perfect guy because he's
a narcissist and nepotism. He's getting preferred treatment because he's
the chosen one by Lebron James and the Lakers are
down wind from a purple and gold toxic vapor named
(09:25):
JJ Reddick. That's that's what's going on there all right now.
Final thought, staying with the theme, because why not, We'll
stay with the theme. So Dan Hurley did an interview
with a podcaster on Thursday and said that his decision
to reject a six.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Year seventy million dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Offer to coach the Lakers was not a quote leverage play,
he said, because he already agreed the.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Terms on a new contract with you.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Kahn also said that the people who are peddling that
hot take, he said, it's one of the worst takes
he's heard.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Is what he said.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Okay, so he doesn't like to take. He's anti take.
So Dan Hurley denying the Lakers interest was just a
leverage play. That was the money quote, saying one of
the dumbest takes. Okay, is that how you see this one? No, no,
I don't think of the scenarios here. Scenarios are if
(10:32):
Dan Hurley wanted the Laker job, he knew what the
offer was before he got on the birdie and flew
to the.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
West Coast, So why didn't he take the job? Explain
that to me.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And if he didn't want the job, why did he
waste the most valuable resource he has, his time?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Why did he bother flying out there?
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Unless unless he was actually channeling an old school wrestler
from back in the day, a wrestling superstar, you might
have to google him because he's been dead for a while.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Big boss Man and Dan Hurley is like the Big
boss Man.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
He rejected a duffel bag, a literal duffel bag filled
with cash like the Mob, and he had could live
in Hollywood, which sounds better than it is, and get
extra clout from Yukon.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
He turned that job down to get extra.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Clout from Yukon. They looked more bougie. That more bougie.
And he has another recruiting advantage because he can say, Hey,
I'm the guy that told the Lakers to go pound Sam.
I'm the guy I said I don't want to coach
Lebron James. That's me, and I'm a college coach, when
really he said no because it is a dysfunctional franchise
(11:45):
with poor ownership and a prima donna who's really coaching
the Lakers even though he's not got the title in
Lebron James. All right is the Ben Mahler Show of

the NFL's first sixty million dollars a year player is
going to be? Do we have that answer?

Speaker 1 (15:23):
In wrestling history.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Nostradinas, who we learned his wife is an evil vegan.
Nostradina says, JJ Reddick will join the Lakers, slick his
air back and become the next Randy Fund.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Wow, that's a good reference. I had not heard the
name Randy Fund in a long long time, many many,
many many years.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Fergdog says, Hey, Ben, how devastated is Eddie going to
be when America's team, the Edmonton Oilers, come back from
down three to stun the Panthers. I bet he won't
have the balls to show up to work for a week.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Is that true? Eddie?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Are you gonna bail out when Edmond comes back here
and windsory?
Speaker 9 (16:02):
Yes, America's teamed, Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
America stars and they have the star you know, David.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
Three games?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
We'll show up, will They're just making it more dramatic, Eddie.
That the late night drug tester, says JJ Reddick to
the Lakers looks like he couldn't follow the example of
coach k and stay away from that dumpster fire. Sean
rights In and several other people have sent me this
year is serious, Sean who hung up? There was a
(16:33):
flight that passengers were on the plane for nine hours.
They flew four thy, eight hundred and thirty three miles
and went nowhere. That literally was the flight to nowhere,
But we didn't pay for that. That was not our
flight to nowhere. Let's go to the phones and we'll
say hello to the tuna in Laguna. Who's cashing a
golden ticket? Hello Tuna in lagunas.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
Well.
Speaker 11 (17:01):
It's a big man.
Speaker 12 (17:02):
I'm calling on behalf of the renters, the Lakers. Dan Hurley,
You're absolutely correct. He's an East Coast scumbag. He absolutely
used them, manipulated them, no creativity whatsoever. The Lakers are cheap,
We've all known that for years. Why are you flying
out here? It's all the known fact. The East Coasters
(17:24):
are set in their ways. My dad's from New Hampshire.
All the house has been paid off for one hundred
million years. Also real quick now, blind Scott guy who
said Boston is the center of the sports sports world
last night, that's disgusting.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
I haven't watched one game in the finals because nobody cares.
It's an absolute embarrassment of basketball. I'd rather go to
my twenty four hour fitness and watch a more competitive
game than the finals.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Also, hold on, now, Tuna in Laguna, is your twenty
four hour fitness actually opened twenty four hours?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Because some of them are not. I don't know if
you're las.
Speaker 12 (18:00):
Actually I don't know.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
I don't say I don't.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
I don't divulge myself. And there's also an equinox we
don't we don't know. I was using a macro, you know,
analogy for you want.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
To be more relatable, to be washed. I understand.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
Also, you know, I live about the forty eight feet
from the beach, so I have better things to do
than deal with watching an irrelevant basketball You.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Sound like JJ Reddick. You sound like JJ Reddick to
be At this.
Speaker 10 (18:28):
Point, I say he's the West coast, you know. But
here's the thing, real quick, JJ Reddick is an East
Coast tampon. We cannot deal with this guy out here.
He's got the duke bag mentality. We cannot have him.
Speaker 12 (18:41):
The owners have Tyron Lou and the Lakers are going
to have a duke back, and I am disgusted.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
The Lakers have no money, they have nothing. The Dodgers
can write a two million dollar check for a hitter
named Kevin Vigio patting what one and they like a
scratch off ticket, it's no problem. The Lakers can't pay
the coach an extra thirty million. It's disgusting, all right,
(19:09):
the new Frank McCord.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Wow, that's about as low as he goes for a
La owner.
Speaker 10 (19:18):
I'm sorry, Coop, I'm a Laker fan. But Jeannie McCourt
that's her new name for me. She's a branter, not
an owner.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
All right, there he goes.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
The Tuna from Laguna guy's becoming a great caller, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Right in front of our eyes. We're seeing him blossom
as a caller. Tuna from Laguna.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Oh, he's really good and unlike the we lost both.
Remember the guys from Rhode Island. We had for like
three months they called every night Joe and Rhode Island.
The guy's a bum and Red Breast Paul. Red Breast
Paul retired and he stopped calling the show.
Speaker 13 (19:54):
And then he actually called the other day, but it
was Newbie night.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Oh let him on like he's brand fathered in.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
He's a grandfather.
Speaker 13 (20:03):
He's no, he is not even to be brand followed
in on.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yes, put on, he's so bad. He's good. He's such
a terrible caller.
Speaker 11 (20:16):
He's great.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
He talks about cows in California. He talks about the lions,
uh randomly his lions and uh like a bunch of
random non sequitors.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Oh yeah, you got to put him on even on
on Newbie Night. He gets a pass, I get him

Paul Goldsman, Oh, he was.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Good in Arizona's had some good years in Saint Louis,
but that home run he hit against the Buckos on
Thursday vaulted him into the top one hundred. He is

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Normally I just show up. That's it. I mean I
usually show up and that's all. It'd be amazing you.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Hopefully you'll be able if you're able to make it.
Will it be like a raider game where people plan
their vacation for the mouth of meeting?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Great, much like a raider game.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
I'm sure that's true.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, let me see. Hold, I se is it what
other events?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Is there anything going on that day? That's early August?
It's around the time the Hall of Fame game gets going, right,
isn't it around early August?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
There? Is it mid August? I think it's early August? Right? No,
everyone's giving me weird looks here.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
Not sure?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It seems like it's early August. I've done that. The
Hall of Fame game, Okay, I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I was worried the Raiders might be The raiders first
exhibition game is August tenth, and they're in on the
road anyway, so the Raiders will not have have an
exhibition game.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
So I guess we're week ahead.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
Hall of Fame game August first.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Oh, okay, so it is okay. So but that's I
think a standalone thing.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I don't think there's anything else that weekend because it's
Hall of Fame weekend.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
But anyway, that's it, Malard, meet and greet. Can't wait.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Gonna be an absolute blast. Have a great three pm, Eddie.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
So you'll be there till five?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Well, I'll be there and then we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I mean, I'm at least at least five o'clock, Eddie,
and possibly longer.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
You gotta sneak out the back door like in Boston.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Well only if they are our guy who what was
his name? I forget his name, the guy that showed
up and was uh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the guy
from Southee.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
What was the guy's name, Wayne? Wayne? Yeah, Wayne from Southee. Yeah.
If Wayne's there, I'll sneak out.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
The back door and I'll take some listeners and we'll
run around the streets of Vegas and all that. But
as long as Wayne's not there, I think we're pretty good.
I think we're okay. And you can gamble, So this
is different. Like usually I didn't have an opportunity to gamble.
But now if I get bored or I am annoyed
with people, I can just go gamble. I can play.
What kind of gambling machines do you think they have
at the steakhouse? Wonder at the or the steak out
(31:01):
rather steak out bar and grill figure that out. Anyway,
it is the bean Mausejaw. I was gonna take a call,
but we need to save time because we have Mallard
of the third degree. And I also must give you
the Insta trivia. And here is the Insta Trivia. We'll
go to Basketball Pro Bouncy Ball, the mav Rex, the
Dallas Mavericks Derek Lively. He had a game high thirteen
(31:25):
rebounds back in Game three.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He became the.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
First rookie to have double digit rebounds in a finals
game since Blank Again. Derek Lively of Dallas he had
thirteen rebounds back in Game three, he became the first
rookie to have double digit rebounds in a Finals game
since Blank. That is the Insta trivia the answer, and
(31:48):
we'll have Mallard of the third degree and we will.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Do it next.

And here is the Insta Trevia. We'll get to Mallard
of the third degree. But here's the question. The Mavericks
Derek Lively at a game high thirteen rebounds the other
night in Game three in a loss.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
He became, though the.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
First rookie to record double digit rebounds in a Finals
game since Blank.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Fill in the blank. That is the question. What is
the answer.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Cowboy Killer says it has to be Eddie, No show
Garcia If that's the answer. Joe the bull Dog, Tatino,
Wow Patrick in San Diego going old school.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
There a mighty six.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Ninety Dennis Rodman guess by Wally in Florida. Alf the
Alien Opiner says Herb Tarlik is the answer, the great
sports guy at that. My favorite radio station when I
was going up was WKRP in Cincinnati. I love that
radio station. Great radio station. Mister Sonic Nate McMillan guests
by Shane from Des Moines. That's his answer. Who else
(33:27):
do we have a late night drug? Tester says you
are Lucy Hale, who is thirty five today? Britney Griner
guests by Ike and Roseuo Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Looking pretty good?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
There the yetti from King Rory, Elite rebounder Genie in
Medford from euro Jack.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
That's his answer. Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Art Puffin says steakout bar and Grill has a private
upstairs three pm. Who knows all show up with the
hookers and the cocaine? Art Puffins says in Magic Johnson
from Matt the Warrior Raider fan. And we've got random
photos from Dad Gummett, Who's who's sending us random photos
of him and people around Arkansas, which is always always wonderful.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Who else do we have page down?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Jason Tatum guessed by Masshole Mickey, that's his answer. Boso,
the District attorney says when Eddie said, probably, what that
means is he has to ask his wife if he's
allowed to go to vegasar is that true?
Speaker 7 (34:28):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Do you okay? That seems fair?
Speaker 10 (34:30):
C J.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Said, Redbreast Paul is the answer, and then he says
he heard Paul cheat on the show somewhere else, which
I guess is okay. I think Paul's living a non
nocturnal life, so it's understandable that he would not be
able to call the show anymore. Geezer Butler from from
mister Puffin. Who else do we have page down?
Speaker 1 (34:55):
All right?
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Eddie?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
It is not Tanya Harding, the Oilers enforcer guests by
mil Man Mike. Do you have an answer, Eddie? I
need an answer.
Speaker 8 (35:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with former LA Laker legend Vladimir Rodmanovich.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Oh, I actually thought he was a good player man.
He was with the Sonics also. I thought he was
pretty good. Is it Vladimir rod Monovitch? Is that the no, Eddie,
You're wrong again. Bad job by you, Shame on you.
The correct answer Phoenix Sun's legend Richard Dumas.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
You remember Richard, another.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
One of these guys Eddie that was supposed to be
amazing and yeah, not quite. Didn't quite work out his
way have a dominating grip. But I still remember who
he is, and I guarantee you they don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Who I am. Here we go, Here we go, Here
we go. It was nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
By the third degree, Guns and Bulls is one gets grilled.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
And the hoop a loop with the reading of the questions,
but without actually reading.
Speaker 13 (35:59):
We hope Derrick Henry recently told reporters that he is
happy that he doesn't have to be the center of
attention anymore because Lamar Jackson is so dangerous in the
run game. Ben Jackson has led the team the Ravens
and rushing for the past five seasons. Will that change
this year?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
I don't think it will change because the way the
Ravens play and Henry is an older player now, he
started showing signs of cracking in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Last year.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
He still had a good volume of statistics, but there
were some signs that he's starting to have the slow
decline there. He's still built like a Donnis Derrick Henry,
but the way the Ravens play, even though Lamar Jackson
is doing his own thing and he's willing to leave
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars in bonus money on
the table, if you gave me one thousand dollars of
(36:47):
funny money, I would bet on Lamar Jackson leading the
Ravens in rushing yet again, because it is more likely
than not that Derrick Henry, who's in unfamiliar territory in Baltimore,
will end up getting hurt at some point, because that's
what Raven running backs do next.
Speaker 13 (37:03):
Fernando Tattis Junior was a budding superstar before a lengthy
suspension and an injury put that all on hold, like
I'm gonna put this phone call. After a down year
last season, Tatusa seemed to regain his form.
Speaker 9 (37:16):
It's on a.
Speaker 13 (37:16):
He had a bit of a hitt mystry going on.
Uh Ben, do you think he will return to superstar status.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
I do not, because he has this thing called dragon
breath whop. He's got the cooties from the suspension that
he got caught cheating, and I don't. I think he'll
be okay, but I don't think he's gonna ever get
the stature he was.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
At one point, the rising star was him and Aaron Judge.
Remember I remember that, And now it's Aaron.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Judge, and you know, you pick your other player, but
it's not Fernando Tatis Juni. And plus the Potters are
pretty much a middling team at this point. So to
sum this up, I think he'll be fine. His numbers
will be okay, but he got the bag anyway, he
got paid, and if he ends up being a second
Banana or whatever in San Diego, a tertiary figure with
(38:05):
the Padres, whatever, he got paid forever, like fifteen years
or fourteen years, whatever is next.
Speaker 13 (38:11):
Anthony Richardson, quarterback for the Colts, recently told a reporter
that playing in the NFL is easier than college because
your teammates aren't as confident in college. Ben, can he
make sense of Anthony Richardson's comments.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yes, this will come back to haunt him every incomplete pass.
Every bad game he has, it'll be splashed on the
social media pages and peoples.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
You see, it's not that easy. We're gonna burst your bubble.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
You're gonna of course, the way Richardson's going, he says
he's not gonna change the way that.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
He plays Coop.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
That was his big statement here, which is fine, But
the way he plays means he's going to be hurt
by week seven or eight. And if he gets hurt
in week seven or eight for the Colts, he's actually
making progress. He's a physically gifted player, but he's not
long for the NFL the way things are going. And
then people say, no, here's a guy that son who
is easier. It's not easier right there.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
It is Mallor to the third degree. How did we do? Ben?
Speaker 13 (39:08):
You pass this edition?
Speaker 10 (39:09):
That is a win, just like.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
The Mallord beat Brick Coming to Vegas, Baby, you're playing Vegas.
Speaker 10 (39:15):
W
