Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. As we begin
anew here on this Friday and we go to the
justice system in America, what is your reaction to the
NFL losing a four billion dollar plus judgment over Sunday ticket? Also,
(00:20):
where does the NFL go after this loss in court?
Will this case cause the NFL to change their ways?
We'll talk about all that cover all the bases and
a whole lot more. So wild Start could be as
much as almost fifteen billion by the time it's all done.
The NFL would have to pay. Here it is our
number two. Sometimes the shield does not work. The rare
(00:45):
June NFL story that is a hum nigger well gum.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show, we.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Tell a friend, and we're just adjacent and we have
plenty of elbowroom coast to coast, border the border and
beyond on the vast and brashly powerful microphones of fsre
amminating live from the disco as we do the hustle
all night long. We're broadcasting live from the ti Raq
(01:20):
dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help you get
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Jerome and Charleston's complained
about ten thousand times, calling the show tire ract dot
Com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
We'll get back to the.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Bronnie James Kerfluffel in pro bouncy Ball a little bit
later in the hour, But there are other things to discuss,
other things that are relevant, other things that caught my
attention and our lead this hour coming from federal court.
Say what Yeah, this is an unreal story and you
(02:03):
might have missed it because it's not totally an NFL story,
And the NFL really doesn't want you to hear about this.
They really don't want you to hear too much about this.
A lot of a lot of testimony. We talked about
this story a couple times over the last week, just
a follow up to a previous Mallard monologue. High profile
(02:26):
figures like Roger Goodell and Jerry Jones visiting Los Angeles
to be part of this federal trial, and they were
character witnesses whatnot. But the decision has arrived and it
is an ab solute you know what, it is, A
mofo of a decision. So if you didn't see this
(02:49):
and perhaps not, a jury in US District Court ordered
the NFL to pay nearly four point eight billion in
damages b like ben b like billions. All of this
after the ruling came down that the league had violated
(03:10):
anti trust laws in the United States in distributing out
of market after noon games on Sunday. Holy Andrews Ceciliano Batman.
They turned this into a premium subscription service. And let
me repeat that for those of you that are in
the back of the room and have spent too much
(03:30):
time with your bong. So the jury awarded four point
seven billion in damages. That's to the residential class, the
regular folk ninety six million in damages to the commercial class.
But that doesn't tell the whole story. You dig a
little bit deeper below the surface. And as I understand it,
(03:52):
since the damages can be tripled under federal anti trust laws,
that means.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
That the NFL could That's a.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Reason word could end up being libel for fourteen point
three billion they would have to pay out if this
thing gets triple fourteen point three nine billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
We'll stay with the four point eight billion But what
is your reaction to the NFL losing this over four
billion dollar judgment because of their finagling with the Sunday tickets.
So I've got medieval hero, Dean Dome, and jell O,
and we will combine all of these random things together
(04:38):
and we will be rubbernecking as we are sitting here
and looking at the accident, the sixteen car pile up
on the side of.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The interstate, because oh what a story this is.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
So number cop don, This is a doozy of a story.
The lawsuit that amount of money two point four million.
Eddie Garcia is going to get a check. Cooper Loop,
(05:11):
who's not here, is going to get a check. And
every man, woman and child that is on the record
of paying for Sunday ticket is going to get a check.
Forty eight thousand businesses. Also, this goes over an eleven
year period from twenty eleven to twenty twenty two and
involves DirecTV The NFL was found guilty of breaking the
(05:34):
anti trust laws.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But here's what they did.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
They sold the Sunday ticket at an inflated price, okay,
and that restricted They also restricted the competition from offering
Sunday ticket. It was only available on DirecTV exclusiveivity. So
when I saw the headline on this, I was half awake,
half asleep. You know, one of those deals when you
do the overnight show during the day, but you're not
(05:59):
quite totally await. So I saw the headline on my
phone and I looked at another story, and then I
looked back.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And I said, wait, what wait, what is that?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I was drinking some water and I sprayed it
out of my mouth like I was in a bad comedy,
like a sitcom. I was like, whoa, even for the
eight hundred pound gorilla. This is a massive amount of cash,
the jury of men and women acting like medieval heroes,
the timeless narrative of Robin Hood, stealing from the rich
(06:34):
and giving to the poor, unwashed fan base.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Now the NFL, And do we think the NFL has
been doing this for years? Of course they have.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The NFL has been exploiting their poor, middle class fan base,
and they've amassed a great amount of power and wealth
by price gouging.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
That's what they do.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They price gouging the food at stadiums, the ticket prices,
the merchandise. It's all price gouging. They don't have to call,
they don't have to charge that much. But they say, well,
the market will pay it. Okay, Well, here's an example
of you thought the market would pay it, and the
market did pay it. But now you're getting screwed because
you didn't read the anti trust laws at.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Least for now.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So page two, where does the NFL go after this
loss in court? So I'm gonna tell you where they go.
They go to the Dean Dome. That's an outdated reference.
Let me explain you. So the NFL is going to
play the long game, and as Yogi Barra said, it
(07:31):
ain't over till it's over. Well, you're gonna run off
to the Dean Dome in North Carolina. Dean Smith, he's
an old college basketball and she's dead. But he at
North Carolina the Tar Hills. He ran the four corners
offense from time to time. Now we are told the
NFL already announce they're going to appeal to Verdi. So
the appeal would go up to the Ninth Circuit Court
(07:53):
of Appeals that's in San Francisco that covers the western
part of the United States. The Ninth Circuit of Appeals,
you know the NFL's bummed out. They wanted to take
this thing to New York because they know all the
judges in New York. They all hang out in the Hamptons.
They couldn't do that, so fine, they have to go
to San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
They'll likely lose that.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
When that fails, the next step would be the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Of the United States. That they will go to Tascotis.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
They'll go to the Supreme Court and expect, in my
crystal ball, here's what I SCT. I expect some political
donations to pop up from Park Avenue to help pay
for certain people, maybe their kids want to go to
a certain college or whatever, and give them a little money.
They will play pinball and they'll just bounce around until
they get a sympathetic court that will overturn this. Now,
(08:40):
maybe it will be the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
but they'll just keep going the oll peeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal,
and the Supreme Court does not move that fast. I
don't if you know about that. The wheels of justice
turned slowly, we've heard, so that would mean that this
will get dragged out and the good luck, good.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Luck, it's gonna take years.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So we played a long game and wait long enough
and a lot of the people that paid for the
Sunday ticket that were price gouge will be dead before
they see any money.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
All right, final point.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Will this case cause the NFL to change its ways?
So the easy answer is no, because the NFL is appealing.
They haven't had to pay the money out. It changes
check back with us if the NFL does end up
paying the money out.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Here's why. If it's just the.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Four point eight billion, should the NFL end up having
to pay damages, it would cost each member of the cartel.
It's like a drug cartel, but in this case football cartel.
It would cost each member of the cartel approximately four
hundred and forty nine million dollars. Every team would have
to pay every single thing. Now, my gut feeling says,
(09:49):
if you do the math, and that's actually I think
for the fourteen billion, But my gut feeling says, no way, Jose, Okay,
And here's why.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
For forty years now, this NFL really took off.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
In the eighties, it wasn't as popular as the seventies,
and the eighties it started taking off, and now we're
almost forty five years into this thing where the NFL
has continually gotten bigger and more powerful, they've grown into
this mythical monster. At this point, they are like a
classic sci fi horror film from early Hollywood, the Blob,
a jello.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Like monster that eats everything in its path.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And NFL people and I've communicated with a few people
that work in that world, and they've indicated to me
that A they're not worried because they know the appeals
process takes years and years and years, and.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
B if it's only the four billion, they.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Could afford to pay that, so it's not like they
got the money and the revenues keep going up. But
this will be tied up. The main point is this
will be tied up in bureaucracy for years, and eventually
they think they're going to be able to a buddy
buddy judge who's a big fan of the NFL, and
maybe they can. I don't know. I'm not saying they
would bribe the judge, but hey, you want some tickets
(11:09):
at the fifty yard line to the Super Bowl. You
want a luxury box. You know your kid wants to
have a all inclusive experience with the quarterback Okay, you
want to hang out with Patrick Mahomes for a day,
You want to suit up for the Chiefs and have
Andy Reid coach.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
We can make that happen.
Speaker 1 (11:23):

the NFL goes to your courtroom, just kind of remember
where we're at.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Also.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
You have come down with a diagnosis. You have Jerry
Jones itis. Jerry Jones itis. What is that all about?
We began this hour with a wild story the NFL
losing in court for now, and it's about five billion
dollars could go up to about fifteen billion dollars that
they would have to pay out.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
But it's going to be years and years of appeals.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And if they don't win in the next court, they
go keep going up the ladder, they go all the
way to the Supreme Court. For dog says what what's
more likely the NFL paying off the Sunday ticket lawsuit
or Bronnie James being.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
MVP of the G League. I don't think Brian's going
to play in the G League.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Because the James family is going to force him to
be on the on the Lakers. I would think, let's
see here, Late Night drug tester says, slow appeals process
and bribing judges.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I am shocked that wealthy people get this sort of treatment.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I'm sure the American people will revolt after your overnight
civics lesson, I don't hold your breath, Do not hold
your breath. Absolutely, what do we have here? Let's see
page down. What's a song any style that if you
saw a street performer play on a trumpet, play that
(16:24):
would make you stop listing?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And tip?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That's from John in Boston, who says we are still
loved in Boston. Yeah, I gotta be in the mood
to tip. I normally feel invaded when I'm out just
walking and you see somebody performing on the street and
all that. But my thing would be John. I normally
(16:49):
like a nice musical instrument, like a trumpet or a
guitar or something like that. Then I'm more inclined rather
than just like singing. I don't really need that, but
you know there's people out there just get a little
speaker and they're singing their thing and all that knocking
themselves out. Boogie writes and says, now all Lebron needs
(17:10):
to do is bribe the NBA scriptwriters and win a
chip or forget about winning a championship.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
With his son.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
He says, the only way that can happen is for
some money to exchange hands. Gotcha, got you on that?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
All right, let's go to the phones. It is a
calling show, and we'll say hello to Enie Meenie, Miny Moe.
We say hi to.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Andrea in Berkeley. She is sitting by right now, the
sports Sorceress. We're going service on X and we will
look into the mind of Bronnie James, or at least
not the mind.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But what are the stars? Tell us? Hello? Andrea?
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Hello, man, how are you?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
If I was any better, I would be a politician.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
But no I wouldn't. But what's on your mind here? Andrew?
You want to talk about Bronnie James?
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yes, but first thing. First, man, it was perfect timing.
I was watching the Mets Yankees' pregame show and mister
and Missus Mett made a guest appearance, and they asked
them how they felt about the Grimace, and they said
they're fine with the Grimmace, and missus Met gave a
thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Oh the old thumbs up there. Yeah. Now are they
thinking about having a kid.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Do you think they can have a little like baby
mister Met or Missus Mett and have a child?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Oh interesting, I didn't explore that. Actually posted the video
of them giving the thumbs up to the Ben Mallor
Show facebook page. I was concentrating primarily on that.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, that's very that's very cool.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Now, is there a chance that mister and missus met
could add like as a roommate the Hamburgler or Ronald McDonald,
y're one of the other characters, because and Grimace would
have somebody to hang out with other than where of
his old friends there he can bring you?
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Right, Yeah, well it seemed pretty philanthropic. I think that
would be a nice idea. I think the more the merrier.
And it was what the Gary Keith and ron they
were on the w fa N they're talking about the
best booths in baseball. You touched that into that last night.
So that was an interesting show.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
But well we talked on that because Michael k the
Yankee broadcaster, had a head a hissy fit. Right, what
were you expecting on you think SNY was going to
say we have the worst broadcast to come on?
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Exactly, especially in New York. Then they're pretty competitive.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So exactly, you don't a lot of where are you
what are you doing with that?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Come on?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Right?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
So speaking a competitive Bronnie James he's a young in
October sixth, two thousand and four, and I just checked.
He's a Libra and Jupiters and Gemini right now, making
a harmonious aspect to his son in Libra, which is expansion,
opportunity and success. So that was a nice little window there, Lebron.
(20:08):
I'll tell you he is one ambitious Capricorn December thirtieth,
nineteen eighty four. But he can also be controlling and
calculating and what's the word like, very opportunistic. So that said,
he definitely got his son's drafted in the NBA draft,
so that should be interesting to see what ends up
(20:30):
taking place with the future career. And he had, you know,
Brownie had some health issues, so it's kind of nice
to see him on the rebound and have this opportunity.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
All right, well we'll see what happens. To have a
great weekend. Andrea, thank you, appreciate, Yes, thank you, all right,
take care. There she goes, Virgo in service on X.
You want to say hello to our friend Andrea. There
she goes. She's going to her spaceship. She'll be going
outside the Milky Way this weekend. Weekend getaway to another galaxy,
far far away Anthony, and Anaheim says, please, Ben, I
(21:05):
beg you do not give my daughter CALLI, a birthday
shout out. Well, Anthony, I want you to know I
am not, by any means going to give a shout
out to your daughter. Not gonna happen, not gonna have it.
So piggybacking on Andre from the Commonwealth who called up
(21:26):
last hour, it turns out that he's not alone, and
many have come to the same realization that these sports
leagues have crossed over. That the Los Angeles Lakers have
been diagnosed they've been infected.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
With Jerry jones itis.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It comes from a former NBAGM talking about the Lakers said,
the worst thing that's happened to that franchise is they've
figured out that they will still be all the talk
around the NBA and make a ton of money even
with a very average product.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Jerry Jones ois.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
That's the Dallas Calories said, Oh, cowboys have won twelve
games the last three years, okay, one playoff win the
last three years, and players that choke in big games
and all that.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It's about right.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That's the Lakers have Jerry Jones Itis and they have
a very mediocre product, and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
The draft is a great example.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
But the end of the first round, what pick got
broken down and sliced up and analyzed, put onto the microscope, however.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You want to say it more than any other pick.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It was Dalton Connect Connect, the pick the Lakers had
in the the middle of the first round. They was, oh,
this is a great pick. This guy's oh my god,
amazing and all that stuff. And then the second round
pick was their pick of you know, the nepotism pick, Kidnapp.
Is that a good nicknamed kid kid nepotism or kidnap.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Or something like that. The brown I love that Kidnap.
That's kidnapp.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Sounds kind of cool to me.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I think we should go with that Kidnap. Does anyone
say no, any objections? No objections? All right, that's in law.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
What if you did like Nepopolitan, like neopolitan ice cream?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Hmmm, it's an interesting doesn't quite flow like?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It doesn't quite I still like Scrownie Brownie. I'm still
gonna call him Scrownie Bronni from time to time. But Kidnap,
I think we got to add that it could be
like his his name if he was a musician, Kidnap.
It could be on stage there performing and you could
perform with kid Rock.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
You could do a duet.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh yeah, wonderful. Just amazing content, Just amazing content. Let's
say hello to Aeny Meenie Miney Mo. Let's say hello
to Poppy in San Diego.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Hello, Hello, guys.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
It's a beautiful day. You know, you know, I mean,
it's a great you know. Basketball news you were talking about,
was I wasn't the first one on the matter. Militia
Brownie James shout out to Amazon the actually Sam in
Stafford against Oregon, and he said he wasn't so good.
I'm quoting quoting Mason, but he could tell you. But
I'm excited for the Summer League as I always go
(24:10):
there every year. Ronnie James will be playing on July
the twelve, that's going to be a Friday, and excited
to see it. Not too much hype as you, but
I can tell you. I can tell you this, Ben
mallor Lebron James will be there in attendance, and he
won't be surprised that he'd be telling the coaches what
(24:31):
to do. But anyways, I was gonna tell you guys. Anyways,
there's ten weeks away going on from football Sunday, and
you know what that means, picking with Poppy versus a chick,
not a chicken for versus a cat.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Right, we've not hurt back from We've not hurt back
from the kitty cat, so we can't confirm Poppy. The
guy who sent that to us, it's not his cat.
It's the family cat. So he has to get permission
for the pussy cat to pick the games.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
So well, we we'll make.
Speaker 10 (25:06):
Something happy, whether we get the pussy cat or not,
we'll make something happen. Ben, And you know, it's a
couple a couple of weeks for football students, but people
want to hear this. They want to hear picks. Ben
matter us three or three. I'm really excited for this.
UFC is going to be in Vegas, but my hometown
Cubs Swanson is going to be fighting, and I think
he has to win this match. You know, are you just.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
You're just picking him because you know who he is,
because he's from your hometown.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
That's pathetic.
Speaker 10 (25:33):
Well, I actually went with them to high school. Actually no,
all right, let's say another Well.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's even more pathetic. All right, I'm good, thank you, up,
I go go away.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
All right, he is gone, Ben.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Shay.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
When I say let's get rid of, we got to
get rid of. There can't be a delay. It's a
bad job by you.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, come on, you'll be quick.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Quick.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Kind of mind that I thought he still had more
to say, Ben, Well, he does have more to say,
but we is in his lungs.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
He was still ready to go.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, well, he's got a lot to say. And I
get a judge. It's a judgment call. Do people want
to hear what he has to say?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Normally? No, normally know the answers normally know. I will
have coming up.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Let us our mallard of the third degree will take
some more of these calls up until then. Also, what
if I told you that someone who retired from an
institution didn't totally retire.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
That's a false narrative. We'll get to that story.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
But right now, let's get you caught up on everything
going on in the overnight, and we say hello too.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
The merman Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
All right, thanks Ben. We will start with the second
round of the NBA Draft, and the only real drama
was would Bronnie James the son of mbing legend Lebron
James get drafted. The answer was yes. He was the
fifty fifth overall selection by his father's team, the Los
Angeles Lakers. Bronnie, if he does make the ross would
be the first father son duo to play together in
(27:03):
league history, with his dad Lebron. A couple other minor
stories you mentioned the Kyle Philipowski situation in the first
hour of The Duke Star along with Kansas's Johnny Furfey.
We're both invited to be in the green room for
day one, but they were not selected, but they did
go in around number two. Philipowski went to the jazz
at number thirty two.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
The conspiracy theory is that Philipowski, because he's dating an
older woman who's brainwashed him, NBA teams kept their distance.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They he don't know.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
That makes a lot of sense to me. But Furfey
with number thirty five.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Because of how does that not make sense?
Speaker 6 (27:39):
What do they care in his personal life?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Oh, you don't think they care any Come on, they
would like him if he was like out with strippers
all the time. They'd like him more than that controlling
lady friend there. Cut You do you think.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
There aren't women that are controlling men in sports.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Wives that you're a little goal of both. But that's
all right, you can be going.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
I know, really, I don't understand why they would care
about that.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Okay, all right, we'll just agree to disagree.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Okay. Major League Baseball, the Orioles roll over the Rangers
eleven to two, Baltimore hitting four home runs in the win,
and they had moved into a tie with the Yankees
with the top spot in the Al East. As the
Blue Jays beat the Yankees nine to two. George Springer
a couple of homer six rbi for Toronto. Phillies fall
to the Marlins seven to four. They lose the game.
They may have lost Bryce Harper for a little while,
their all star injured his hamstring running out of grounder
(28:29):
on the final out of the game. They'll have an
MRI On Friday. Guardians lose to the Royals two to one.
Braves were shut up by the White Sox one nothing.
Chicago used the five Different Pictures a bullpen game. They
limited Atlanta to no runs on five hits. Only run
of the game came in the first inning on a
Luis Robert solo homer. For Chicago, Angels blank the Tigers
five nothing behind rookie pitcher Davis Daniels his first major
(28:49):
league start. Not bad eight shutout endings, four hits, eight strikeouts,
no walks In the win twins over the Diamondbacks thirteen
to six. Four different Minnesota players drove in two runs.
Are More, Bryce and buck Ston with a three run
homer comes over the Giants five three and ten. The
Reds beat up on the Cardinals eleven to four. Soccer
Copa America US embarrassed by Panama losing two to one,
(29:10):
and the US now in jeopardy of missing out and
advancing into the knockout round in this tournament, being she.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Just hosted playing soccer. More saw, I say, America stops
fielding a soccer team. That's what I say.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
That's a hot takeank you Shay tweets that out. Yeah.
Fox Sports Radios Ben Maller says USA.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Stopped trying to play soccer. It's embarrassed.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
News from the NHL, where Color Avalanche star Nathan McKinnon
won the Heart Trophy. IS League MVP won the Ted
Lindsay Award as well. That's voted on by the players.
IS League MVP, and Ben was very upset with me
and called me out in a private conversation. Did not
give a w NBA score in the first hour, So
I will not let you know that the fever you.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Were going to notice, Eddie, we were doing so well,
Eddie going to yell giving this RATA, told me employee
of the month.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
She told me off there any employee the month?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Ben, You'll not what are you doing not giving?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
That's a lie.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Caitlyn Clark had fifteen points, which is as why we
have to mention that score? Really?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah, oh all right? Anything else is that?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah, we're good.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
We're good on that. Okay, that's if she's high, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I don't know if I mean you're you're accusing her
of being high. I don't know that that's the case.
But I do have you know what I have, Eddie,
I have.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Fun fun fact, fun fat fun fact. Bottom of the hour.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
They just had the second round of the NBA Draft
on Thursday, and the Orlando Magic traded the forty seventh
thick of the draft of the New Orleans Pelicans for
someone uh named Antonio Reeves. The Pelican is a pick
Antonio Reeves. That means every single second round pick in
the twenty twenty four draft was traded at least on
(31:01):
every pick in the second round. This is unprecedented in
the history of the NBA. It's never happened before. You've
had a lot of trades, but never every single pick.
Orlando that that trade the forty seventh pick to New Orleans.
No second rounders had not been traded before that pick
was used.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
That so only twenty eight picks out of thirty. The
Phoenix and.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Philadelphia basketball teams forfeited their picks for free agent tampering,
so twenty eight total picks.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Every one of them was traded, every single bleep in
one of them. Let's go to the fall. Now that's fun.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We sail out to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Hello, bed, strawmat, you're in jail.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Oh you're in the hospital. Why are you in the hospital?

Speaker 6 (33:40):
What's his name? Come out of college? Gonna be a hell?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Never heard of them?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
You're a big college basketball fan, hollering James, I'm not bad.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
You know. I don't study. I don't got a chance to, man,
I just heard, you're too busy.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
They brought me too busy. You take the side.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I said, you're too busy taking all the pills you
have to take in the morning and at night, right right.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Bennett, How they want to add more to my regimen
and regiment reads? I found out this big work. We
said that, then seduce me with some more medication.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
They're going to seduce you. I don't think that's the
use of seducing. I don't think they have to seduce you.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
There we go, there we go. There's the dammy reference. There,
it is there, it is.
Speaker 11 (34:28):
Name.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I'm proud of you, though, James.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
You waited at least three minutes to get Tammy and
Montana's name into the call.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
So good job by.
Speaker 9 (34:37):
You waiting for her to ring my life, to ring
my belly all right than anyone.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
You're in the pole position right now, James.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
I remember the position.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
I I did get several emails when hollering James, your
competition is said to be Jerome from Charleston.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Oh, Jerome can go home because I'm all alone and
number one number one.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Number one?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Okay, Jis, how's the fame?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Not that I had a rock question, what question?
Speaker 9 (35:22):
What Larry?
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Question? Is my birthday's coming up on July twenty third?
And a no nerd.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
But if you take a turn, you can send me
Larry Bird and the Bust and something all the way?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Baby?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Is he on like rhyming gas? Is there a thing
that you take that will make you rhyme?
Speaker 9 (35:41):
I do some happy peals along the way?
Speaker 3 (35:44):

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Okay, right, I gotta go.

Speaker 8 (36:35):
No, just a hamburger and a strawberry monk shake.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yeah, there's no ham in that burger. Why do they
call it a hamburger? Is the weirdest thing.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
It should be a cow burger.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah, they don't. They don't call it that.
Speaker 11 (36:47):
I like beef burger a little bit more.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
The ferger, the beef.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Where's the beef? It is the Ben Maller Show. We
will press on. Nick Saban retired Alabama. Just see you this.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Alabama will be paying Nick Saban. He's got a new job.
He went from head coach to professional in the athletic department.
He will be making every month forty one thousand, six
hundred and sixty six dollars and sixty seven cents per month.
It works out that is eight times the average American
(37:21):
annual salary.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
According to the US Bureau of Labor.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Saving's going to make over five hundred thousand dollars a
year as a lifetime thank you. So how let me
ask you this. He's gonna be on ESPN. How neutral
is he going to be?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Of course he's not gonna be.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Dude's getting five hundred thousand dollars a year to do
nothing at Alabama.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
It is the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
That's a good name. But no, it is Rong Chin
Ming Wong back in twenty.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Oh nine and twenty oh nine he.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Stud it from Taiwan. Here we go, it's Mallard. How
about that?
Speaker 4 (40:17):
To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
By the way that guy Wong actually won nineteen games
back to back years for the Yankees and was out
out of New York in a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
All right, all right, real quick, shay, what do we got?
Speaker 11 (40:30):
The Miami heater bound to get a lot of calls
about Jimmy Butler, but at least one insider says they're
unwilling to part ways with him. Ben, do you think
Balby will get moved?
Speaker 4 (40:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (40:39):
I don't at this point. I think he'll be back
in Miami and they'll just they'll.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Play it out.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
If he was gonna be moved, it made sense to
trade him this week, and he didn't get traded, So
you know that story will bounce back around. But at
this point, based on the information I have, I'm gonna
say no next.
Speaker 11 (40:54):
With Dalton Next falling to the Lakers, many think this
will allow the team to move on from Austin Reeves.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Ben, Do you see this happen? That's Dalton Connect.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
I'm told it looks like it's not pronounced like that.
It should be spelled differently. Do I see them moving
on from Austin Reeves?
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yes? Why not?
Speaker 3 (41:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Because Connect is supposed to be a better player than
Austin Reeves. They could trade Austin Reeves and get someone
else who's going to help them conceivably more. But it
really depends who Lebront was. Maybe Lebron likes Austin Reeves,
maybe he wants to keep them on the team. Lebron's
GM by proxy.
Speaker 11 (41:27):
Next Eagles Lane Johnson said in a recent interview that
Jalen Hurts has gone out of his way to connect
with his teammates this offseason. Do you think this will
translate on the field?
Speaker 1 (41:36):
So this is a typical puffery offseason story here, Shay,
it doesn't matter. All that matters is what you do
from the start of the season in September till January.
This is a nothing burger type story, and Jalen Hurts
has shown a fatal flaw throwing the ball, so it
will not translate.
Speaker 9 (41:55):
How did I do?
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Past? Is a past ass?
Speaker 3 (42:00):
I gotta win.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
I got a degree.
Speaker 8 (42:03):
Who
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. As we begin
anew here on this Friday and we go to the
justice system in America, what is your reaction to the
NFL losing a four billion dollar plus judgment over Sunday ticket? Also,
(00:20):
where does the NFL go after this loss in court?
Will this case cause the NFL to change their ways?
We'll talk about all that cover all the bases and
a whole lot more. So wild Start could be as
much as almost fifteen billion by the time it's all done.
The NFL would have to pay. Here it is our
number two. Sometimes the shield does not work. The rare
(00:45):
June NFL story that is a hum nigger well gum.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show, we.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Tell a friend, and we're just adjacent and we have
plenty of elbowroom coast to coast, border the border and
beyond on the vast and brashly powerful microphones of fsre
amminating live from the disco as we do the hustle
all night long. We're broadcasting live from the ti Raq
(01:20):
dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help you get
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Jerome and Charleston's complained
about ten thousand times, calling the show tire ract dot
Com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
We'll get back to the.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Bronnie James Kerfluffel in pro bouncy Ball a little bit
later in the hour, But there are other things to discuss,
other things that are relevant, other things that caught my
attention and our lead this hour coming from federal court.
Say what Yeah, this is an unreal story and you
(02:03):
might have missed it because it's not totally an NFL story,
And the NFL really doesn't want you to hear about this.
They really don't want you to hear too much about this.
A lot of a lot of testimony. We talked about
this story a couple times over the last week, just
a follow up to a previous Mallard monologue. High profile
(02:26):
figures like Roger Goodell and Jerry Jones visiting Los Angeles
to be part of this federal trial, and they were
character witnesses whatnot. But the decision has arrived and it
is an ab solute you know what, it is, A
mofo of a decision. So if you didn't see this
(02:49):
and perhaps not, a jury in US District Court ordered
the NFL to pay nearly four point eight billion in
damages b like ben b like billions. All of this
after the ruling came down that the league had violated
(03:10):
anti trust laws in the United States in distributing out
of market after noon games on Sunday. Holy Andrews Ceciliano Batman.
They turned this into a premium subscription service. And let
me repeat that for those of you that are in
the back of the room and have spent too much
(03:30):
time with your bong. So the jury awarded four point
seven billion in damages. That's to the residential class, the
regular folk ninety six million in damages to the commercial class.
But that doesn't tell the whole story. You dig a
little bit deeper below the surface. And as I understand it,
(03:52):
since the damages can be tripled under federal anti trust laws,
that means.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
That the NFL could That's a.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Reason word could end up being libel for fourteen point
three billion they would have to pay out if this
thing gets triple fourteen point three nine billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
We'll stay with the four point eight billion But what
is your reaction to the NFL losing this over four
billion dollar judgment because of their finagling with the Sunday tickets.
So I've got medieval hero, Dean Dome, and jell O,
and we will combine all of these random things together
(04:38):
and we will be rubbernecking as we are sitting here
and looking at the accident, the sixteen car pile up
on the side of.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The interstate, because oh what a story this is.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
So number cop don, This is a doozy of a story.
The lawsuit that amount of money two point four million.
Eddie Garcia is going to get a check. Cooper Loop,
(05:11):
who's not here, is going to get a check. And
every man, woman and child that is on the record
of paying for Sunday ticket is going to get a check.
Forty eight thousand businesses. Also, this goes over an eleven
year period from twenty eleven to twenty twenty two and
involves DirecTV The NFL was found guilty of breaking the
(05:34):
anti trust laws.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But here's what they did.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
They sold the Sunday ticket at an inflated price, okay,
and that restricted They also restricted the competition from offering
Sunday ticket. It was only available on DirecTV exclusiveivity. So
when I saw the headline on this, I was half awake,
half asleep. You know, one of those deals when you
do the overnight show during the day, but you're not
(05:59):
quite totally await. So I saw the headline on my
phone and I looked at another story, and then I
looked back.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And I said, wait, what wait, what is that?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I was drinking some water and I sprayed it
out of my mouth like I was in a bad comedy,
like a sitcom. I was like, whoa, even for the
eight hundred pound gorilla. This is a massive amount of cash,
the jury of men and women acting like medieval heroes,
the timeless narrative of Robin Hood, stealing from the rich
(06:34):
and giving to the poor, unwashed fan base.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Now the NFL, And do we think the NFL has
been doing this for years? Of course they have.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The NFL has been exploiting their poor, middle class fan base,
and they've amassed a great amount of power and wealth
by price gouging.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
That's what they do.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They price gouging the food at stadiums, the ticket prices,
the merchandise. It's all price gouging. They don't have to call,
they don't have to charge that much. But they say, well,
the market will pay it. Okay, Well, here's an example
of you thought the market would pay it, and the
market did pay it. But now you're getting screwed because
you didn't read the anti trust laws at.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Least for now.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So page two, where does the NFL go after this
loss in court? So I'm gonna tell you where they go.
They go to the Dean Dome. That's an outdated reference.
Let me explain you. So the NFL is going to
play the long game, and as Yogi Barra said, it
(07:31):
ain't over till it's over. Well, you're gonna run off
to the Dean Dome in North Carolina. Dean Smith, he's
an old college basketball and she's dead. But he at
North Carolina the Tar Hills. He ran the four corners
offense from time to time. Now we are told the
NFL already announce they're going to appeal to Verdi. So
the appeal would go up to the Ninth Circuit Court
(07:53):
of Appeals that's in San Francisco that covers the western
part of the United States. The Ninth Circuit of Appeals,
you know the NFL's bummed out. They wanted to take
this thing to New York because they know all the
judges in New York. They all hang out in the Hamptons.
They couldn't do that, so fine, they have to go
to San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
They'll likely lose that.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
When that fails, the next step would be the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Of the United States. That they will go to Tascotis.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
They'll go to the Supreme Court and expect, in my
crystal ball, here's what I SCT. I expect some political
donations to pop up from Park Avenue to help pay
for certain people, maybe their kids want to go to
a certain college or whatever, and give them a little money.
They will play pinball and they'll just bounce around until
they get a sympathetic court that will overturn this. Now,
(08:40):
maybe it will be the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
but they'll just keep going the oll peeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal,
and the Supreme Court does not move that fast. I
don't if you know about that. The wheels of justice
turned slowly, we've heard, so that would mean that this
will get dragged out and the good luck, good.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Luck, it's gonna take years.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So we played a long game and wait long enough
and a lot of the people that paid for the
Sunday ticket that were price gouge will be dead before
they see any money.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
All right, final point.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Will this case cause the NFL to change its ways?
So the easy answer is no, because the NFL is appealing.
They haven't had to pay the money out. It changes
check back with us if the NFL does end up
paying the money out.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Here's why. If it's just the.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Four point eight billion, should the NFL end up having
to pay damages, it would cost each member of the cartel.
It's like a drug cartel, but in this case football cartel.
It would cost each member of the cartel approximately four
hundred and forty nine million dollars. Every team would have
to pay every single thing. Now, my gut feeling says,
(09:49):
if you do the math, and that's actually I think
for the fourteen billion, But my gut feeling says, no way, Jose, Okay,
And here's why.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
For forty years now, this NFL really took off.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
In the eighties, it wasn't as popular as the seventies,
and the eighties it started taking off, and now we're
almost forty five years into this thing where the NFL
has continually gotten bigger and more powerful, they've grown into
this mythical monster. At this point, they are like a
classic sci fi horror film from early Hollywood, the Blob,
a jello.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Like monster that eats everything in its path.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And NFL people and I've communicated with a few people
that work in that world, and they've indicated to me
that A they're not worried because they know the appeals
process takes years and years and years, and.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
B if it's only the four billion, they.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Could afford to pay that, so it's not like they
got the money and the revenues keep going up. But
this will be tied up. The main point is this
will be tied up in bureaucracy for years, and eventually
they think they're going to be able to a buddy
buddy judge who's a big fan of the NFL, and
maybe they can. I don't know. I'm not saying they
would bribe the judge, but hey, you want some tickets
(11:09):
at the fifty yard line to the Super Bowl. You
want a luxury box. You know your kid wants to
have a all inclusive experience with the quarterback Okay, you
want to hang out with Patrick Mahomes for a day,
You want to suit up for the Chiefs and have
Andy Reid coach.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
We can make that happen.

the NFL goes to your courtroom, just kind of remember

(14:47):
La and Alive from the tyrack dot Com, Fox Sports

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Coming up later this hour. We will have Mallor to

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Also.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
You have come down with a diagnosis. You have Jerry
Jones itis. Jerry Jones itis. What is that all about?
We began this hour with a wild story the NFL
losing in court for now, and it's about five billion
dollars could go up to about fifteen billion dollars that
they would have to pay out.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
But it's going to be years and years of appeals.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And if they don't win in the next court, they
go keep going up the ladder, they go all the
way to the Supreme Court. For dog says what what's
more likely the NFL paying off the Sunday ticket lawsuit
or Bronnie James being.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
MVP of the G League. I don't think Brian's going
to play in the G League.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Because the James family is going to force him to
be on the on the Lakers. I would think, let's
see here, Late Night drug tester says, slow appeals process
and bribing judges.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I am shocked that wealthy people get this sort of treatment.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I'm sure the American people will revolt after your overnight
civics lesson, I don't hold your breath, Do not hold
your breath. Absolutely, what do we have here? Let's see
page down. What's a song any style that if you
saw a street performer play on a trumpet, play that
(16:24):
would make you stop listing?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And tip?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That's from John in Boston, who says we are still
loved in Boston. Yeah, I gotta be in the mood
to tip. I normally feel invaded when I'm out just
walking and you see somebody performing on the street and
all that. But my thing would be John. I normally
(16:49):
like a nice musical instrument, like a trumpet or a
guitar or something like that. Then I'm more inclined rather
than just like singing. I don't really need that, but
you know there's people out there just get a little
speaker and they're singing their thing and all that knocking
themselves out. Boogie writes and says, now all Lebron needs
(17:10):
to do is bribe the NBA scriptwriters and win a
chip or forget about winning a championship.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
With his son.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
He says, the only way that can happen is for
some money to exchange hands. Gotcha, got you on that?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
All right, let's go to the phones. It is a
calling show, and we'll say hello to Enie Meenie, Miny Moe.
We say hi to.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Andrea in Berkeley. She is sitting by right now, the
sports Sorceress. We're going service on X and we will
look into the mind of Bronnie James, or at least
not the mind.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But what are the stars? Tell us? Hello? Andrea?
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Hello, man, how are you?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
If I was any better, I would be a politician.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
But no I wouldn't. But what's on your mind here? Andrew?
You want to talk about Bronnie James?
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yes, but first thing. First, man, it was perfect timing.
I was watching the Mets Yankees' pregame show and mister
and Missus Mett made a guest appearance, and they asked
them how they felt about the Grimace, and they said
they're fine with the Grimmace, and missus Met gave a
thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Oh the old thumbs up there. Yeah. Now are they
thinking about having a kid.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Do you think they can have a little like baby
mister Met or Missus Mett and have a child?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Oh interesting, I didn't explore that. Actually posted the video
of them giving the thumbs up to the Ben Mallor
Show facebook page. I was concentrating primarily on that.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, that's very that's very cool.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Now, is there a chance that mister and missus met
could add like as a roommate the Hamburgler or Ronald McDonald,
y're one of the other characters, because and Grimace would
have somebody to hang out with other than where of
his old friends there he can bring you?
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Right, Yeah, well it seemed pretty philanthropic. I think that
would be a nice idea. I think the more the merrier.
And it was what the Gary Keith and ron they
were on the w fa N they're talking about the
best booths in baseball. You touched that into that last night.
So that was an interesting show.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
But well we talked on that because Michael k the
Yankee broadcaster, had a head a hissy fit. Right, what
were you expecting on you think SNY was going to
say we have the worst broadcast to come on?
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Exactly, especially in New York. Then they're pretty competitive.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So exactly, you don't a lot of where are you
what are you doing with that?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Come on?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Right?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
So speaking a competitive Bronnie James he's a young in
October sixth, two thousand and four, and I just checked.
He's a Libra and Jupiters and Gemini right now, making
a harmonious aspect to his son in Libra, which is expansion,
opportunity and success. So that was a nice little window there, Lebron.
(20:08):
I'll tell you he is one ambitious Capricorn December thirtieth,
nineteen eighty four. But he can also be controlling and
calculating and what's the word like, very opportunistic. So that said,
he definitely got his son's drafted in the NBA draft,
so that should be interesting to see what ends up
(20:30):
taking place with the future career. And he had, you know,
Brownie had some health issues, so it's kind of nice
to see him on the rebound and have this opportunity.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
All right, well we'll see what happens. To have a
great weekend. Andrea, thank you, appreciate, Yes, thank you, all right,
take care. There she goes, Virgo in service on X.
You want to say hello to our friend Andrea. There
she goes. She's going to her spaceship. She'll be going
outside the Milky Way this weekend. Weekend getaway to another galaxy,
far far away Anthony, and Anaheim says, please, Ben, I
(21:05):
beg you do not give my daughter CALLI, a birthday
shout out. Well, Anthony, I want you to know I
am not, by any means going to give a shout
out to your daughter. Not gonna happen, not gonna have it.
So piggybacking on Andre from the Commonwealth who called up
(21:26):
last hour, it turns out that he's not alone, and
many have come to the same realization that these sports
leagues have crossed over. That the Los Angeles Lakers have
been diagnosed they've been infected.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
With Jerry jones itis.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It comes from a former NBAGM talking about the Lakers said,
the worst thing that's happened to that franchise is they've
figured out that they will still be all the talk
around the NBA and make a ton of money even
with a very average product.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Jerry Jones ois.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
That's the Dallas Calories said, Oh, cowboys have won twelve
games the last three years, okay, one playoff win the
last three years, and players that choke in big games
and all that.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It's about right.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That's the Lakers have Jerry Jones Itis and they have
a very mediocre product, and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
The draft is a great example.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
But the end of the first round, what pick got
broken down and sliced up and analyzed, put onto the microscope, however.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You want to say it more than any other pick.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It was Dalton Connect Connect, the pick the Lakers had
in the the middle of the first round. They was, oh,
this is a great pick. This guy's oh my god,
amazing and all that stuff. And then the second round
pick was their pick of you know, the nepotism pick, Kidnapp.
Is that a good nicknamed kid kid nepotism or kidnap.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Or something like that. The brown I love that Kidnap.
That's kidnapp.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Sounds kind of cool to me.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I think we should go with that Kidnap. Does anyone
say no, any objections? No objections? All right, that's in law.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
What if you did like Nepopolitan, like neopolitan ice cream?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Hmmm, it's an interesting doesn't quite flow like?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It doesn't quite I still like Scrownie Brownie. I'm still
gonna call him Scrownie Bronni from time to time. But Kidnap,
I think we got to add that it could be
like his his name if he was a musician, Kidnap.
It could be on stage there performing and you could
perform with kid Rock.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
You could do a duet.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh yeah, wonderful. Just amazing content, Just amazing content. Let's
say hello to Aeny Meenie Miney Mo. Let's say hello
to Poppy in San Diego.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Hello, Hello, guys.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
It's a beautiful day. You know, you know, I mean,
it's a great you know. Basketball news you were talking about,
was I wasn't the first one on the matter. Militia
Brownie James shout out to Amazon the actually Sam in
Stafford against Oregon, and he said he wasn't so good.
I'm quoting quoting Mason, but he could tell you. But
I'm excited for the Summer League as I always go
(24:10):
there every year. Ronnie James will be playing on July
the twelve, that's going to be a Friday, and excited
to see it. Not too much hype as you, but
I can tell you. I can tell you this, Ben
mallor Lebron James will be there in attendance, and he
won't be surprised that he'd be telling the coaches what
(24:31):
to do. But anyways, I was gonna tell you guys. Anyways,
there's ten weeks away going on from football Sunday, and
you know what that means, picking with Poppy versus a chick,
not a chicken for versus a cat.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Right, we've not hurt back from We've not hurt back
from the kitty cat, so we can't confirm Poppy. The
guy who sent that to us, it's not his cat.
It's the family cat. So he has to get permission
for the pussy cat to pick the games.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
So well, we we'll make.
Speaker 10 (25:06):
Something happy, whether we get the pussy cat or not,
we'll make something happen. Ben, And you know, it's a
couple a couple of weeks for football students, but people
want to hear this. They want to hear picks. Ben
matter us three or three. I'm really excited for this.
UFC is going to be in Vegas, but my hometown
Cubs Swanson is going to be fighting, and I think
he has to win this match. You know, are you just.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
You're just picking him because you know who he is,
because he's from your hometown.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
That's pathetic.
Speaker 10 (25:33):
Well, I actually went with them to high school. Actually no,
all right, let's say another Well.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's even more pathetic. All right, I'm good, thank you, up,
I go go away.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
All right, he is gone, Ben.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Shay.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
When I say let's get rid of, we got to
get rid of. There can't be a delay. It's a
bad job by you.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, come on, you'll be quick.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Quick.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Kind of mind that I thought he still had more
to say, Ben, Well, he does have more to say,
but we is in his lungs.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
He was still ready to go.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, well, he's got a lot to say. And I
get a judge. It's a judgment call. Do people want
to hear what he has to say?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Normally? No, normally know the answers normally know. I will
have coming up.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Let us our mallard of the third degree will take
some more of these calls up until then. Also, what
if I told you that someone who retired from an
institution didn't totally retire.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
That's a false narrative. We'll get to that story.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
But right now, let's get you caught up on everything
going on in the overnight, and we say hello too.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
The merman Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
All right, thanks Ben. We will start with the second
round of the NBA Draft, and the only real drama
was would Bronnie James the son of mbing legend Lebron
James get drafted. The answer was yes. He was the
fifty fifth overall selection by his father's team, the Los
Angeles Lakers. Bronnie, if he does make the ross would
be the first father son duo to play together in
(27:03):
league history, with his dad Lebron. A couple other minor
stories you mentioned the Kyle Philipowski situation in the first
hour of The Duke Star along with Kansas's Johnny Furfey.
We're both invited to be in the green room for
day one, but they were not selected, but they did
go in around number two. Philipowski went to the jazz
at number thirty two.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
The conspiracy theory is that Philipowski, because he's dating an
older woman who's brainwashed him, NBA teams kept their distance.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They he don't know.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
That makes a lot of sense to me. But Furfey
with number thirty five.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Because of how does that not make sense?
Speaker 6 (27:39):
What do they care in his personal life?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Oh, you don't think they care any Come on, they
would like him if he was like out with strippers
all the time. They'd like him more than that controlling
lady friend there. Cut You do you think.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
There aren't women that are controlling men in sports.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Wives that you're a little goal of both. But that's
all right, you can be going.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
I know, really, I don't understand why they would care
about that.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Okay, all right, we'll just agree to disagree.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Okay. Major League Baseball, the Orioles roll over the Rangers
eleven to two, Baltimore hitting four home runs in the win,
and they had moved into a tie with the Yankees
with the top spot in the Al East. As the
Blue Jays beat the Yankees nine to two. George Springer
a couple of homer six rbi for Toronto. Phillies fall
to the Marlins seven to four. They lose the game.
They may have lost Bryce Harper for a little while,
their all star injured his hamstring running out of grounder
(28:29):
on the final out of the game. They'll have an
MRI On Friday. Guardians lose to the Royals two to one.
Braves were shut up by the White Sox one nothing.
Chicago used the five Different Pictures a bullpen game. They
limited Atlanta to no runs on five hits. Only run
of the game came in the first inning on a
Luis Robert solo homer. For Chicago, Angels blank the Tigers
five nothing behind rookie pitcher Davis Daniels his first major
(28:49):
league start. Not bad eight shutout endings, four hits, eight strikeouts,
no walks In the win twins over the Diamondbacks thirteen
to six. Four different Minnesota players drove in two runs.
Are More, Bryce and buck Ston with a three run
homer comes over the Giants five three and ten. The
Reds beat up on the Cardinals eleven to four. Soccer
Copa America US embarrassed by Panama losing two to one,
(29:10):
and the US now in jeopardy of missing out and
advancing into the knockout round in this tournament, being she.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Just hosted playing soccer. More saw, I say, America stops
fielding a soccer team. That's what I say.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
That's a hot takeank you Shay tweets that out. Yeah.
Fox Sports Radios Ben Maller says USA.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Stopped trying to play soccer. It's embarrassed.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
News from the NHL, where Color Avalanche star Nathan McKinnon
won the Heart Trophy. IS League MVP won the Ted
Lindsay Award as well. That's voted on by the players.
IS League MVP, and Ben was very upset with me
and called me out in a private conversation. Did not
give a w NBA score in the first hour, So
I will not let you know that the fever you.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Were going to notice, Eddie, we were doing so well,
Eddie going to yell giving this RATA, told me employee
of the month.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
She told me off there any employee the month?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Ben, You'll not what are you doing not giving?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
That's a lie.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Caitlyn Clark had fifteen points, which is as why we
have to mention that score? Really?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah, oh all right? Anything else is that?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah, we're good.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
We're good on that. Okay, that's if she's high, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I don't know if I mean you're you're accusing her
of being high. I don't know that that's the case.
But I do have you know what I have, Eddie,
I have.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Fun fun fact, fun fat fun fact. Bottom of the hour.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
They just had the second round of the NBA Draft
on Thursday, and the Orlando Magic traded the forty seventh
thick of the draft of the New Orleans Pelicans for
someone uh named Antonio Reeves. The Pelican is a pick
Antonio Reeves. That means every single second round pick in
the twenty twenty four draft was traded at least on
(31:01):
every pick in the second round. This is unprecedented in
the history of the NBA. It's never happened before. You've
had a lot of trades, but never every single pick.
Orlando that that trade the forty seventh pick to New Orleans.
No second rounders had not been traded before that pick
was used.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
That so only twenty eight picks out of thirty. The
Phoenix and.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Philadelphia basketball teams forfeited their picks for free agent tampering,
so twenty eight total picks.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Every one of them was traded, every single bleep in
one of them. Let's go to the fall. Now that's fun.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We sail out to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Hello, bed, strawmat, you're in jail.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Oh you're in the hospital. Why are you in the hospital?

Speaker 6 (32:40):

Speaker 3 (32:41):
That's so real good? No pain the brain? Tell what's
his name? Poppy? A little in Saint and I'll take
you to the God along with Lareda. I would take
Poppy and Lreeda.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Are you on more a scene?
Speaker 6 (33:00):

Speaker 3 (33:02):

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah? Who did they draft?
Speaker 4 (33:37):

Speaker 3 (33:37):
You a kid? What's his name? Well? Coming out of college?
Speaker 6 (33:40):
What's his name? Come out of college? Gonna be a hell?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Never heard of them?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
You're a big college basketball fan, hollering James, I'm not bad.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
You know. I don't study. I don't got a chance to, man,
I just heard, you're too busy.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
They brought me too busy. You take the side.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I said, you're too busy taking all the pills you
have to take in the morning and at night, right right.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Bennett, How they want to add more to my regimen
and regiment reads? I found out this big work. We
said that, then seduce me with some more medication.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
They're going to seduce you. I don't think that's the
use of seducing. I don't think they have to seduce you.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
There we go, there we go. There's the dammy reference. There,
it is there, it is.
Speaker 11 (34:28):
Name.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I'm proud of you, though, James.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
You waited at least three minutes to get Tammy and
Montana's name into the call.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
So good job by.
Speaker 9 (34:37):
You waiting for her to ring my life, to ring
my belly all right than anyone.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
You're in the pole position right now, James.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
I remember the position.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
I I did get several emails when hollering James, your
competition is said to be Jerome from Charleston.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Oh, Jerome can go home because I'm all alone and
number one number one.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Number one?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Okay, Jis, how's the fame?
Speaker 3 (35:19):

Speaker 9 (35:22):

Speaker 3 (35:23):

And a no nerd.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
But if you take a turn, you can send me
Larry Bird and the Bust and something all the way?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Baby?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Is he on like rhyming gas? Is there a thing
that you take that will make you rhyme?
Speaker 9 (35:41):
I do some happy peals along the way?
Speaker 3 (35:44):

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Okay, right, I gotta go.

what what you get? Double double?
Speaker 8 (36:35):
No, just a hamburger and a strawberry monk shake.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yeah, there's no ham in that burger. Why do they
call it a hamburger? Is the weirdest thing.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
It should be a cow burger.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah, they don't. They don't call it that.
Speaker 11 (36:47):
I like beef burger a little bit more.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
The ferger, the beef.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Where's the beef? It is the Ben Maller Show. We
will press on. Nick Saban retired Alabama. Just see you this.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Alabama will be paying Nick Saban. He's got a new job.
He went from head coach to professional in the athletic department.
He will be making every month forty one thousand, six
hundred and sixty six dollars and sixty seven cents per month.
It works out that is eight times the average American
(37:21):
annual salary.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
According to the US Bureau of Labor.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Saving's going to make over five hundred thousand dollars a
year as a lifetime thank you. So how let me
ask you this. He's gonna be on ESPN. How neutral
is he going to be?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Of course he's not gonna be.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Dude's getting five hundred thousand dollars a year to do
nothing at Alabama.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
It is the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Time Now for the instant trivia, a blatant attempt to
get you to listen a little bit longer.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
We go to.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Baseball, where Carlos redone became the first Yankee to allow
twenty plus earned runs and over over a.

Alien of Pineter, Ed Figueroa from Bay City Tony, that's

Speaker 2 (40:01):
That's a good name. But no, it is Rong Chin
Ming Wong back in twenty.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Oh nine and twenty oh nine he.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Stud it from Taiwan. Here we go, it's Mallard. How
about that?
Speaker 4 (40:17):
To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
By the way that guy Wong actually won nineteen games
back to back years for the Yankees and was out
out of New York in a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
All right, all right, real quick, shay, what do we got?
Speaker 11 (40:30):
The Miami heater bound to get a lot of calls
about Jimmy Butler, but at least one insider says they're
unwilling to part ways with him. Ben, do you think
Balby will get moved?
Speaker 4 (40:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (40:39):
I don't at this point. I think he'll be back
in Miami and they'll just they'll.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Play it out.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
If he was gonna be moved, it made sense to
trade him this week, and he didn't get traded, So
you know that story will bounce back around. But at
this point, based on the information I have, I'm gonna
say no next.
Speaker 11 (40:54):
With Dalton Next falling to the Lakers, many think this
will allow the team to move on from Austin Reeves.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Ben, Do you see this happen? That's Dalton Connect.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
I'm told it looks like it's not pronounced like that.
It should be spelled differently. Do I see them moving
on from Austin Reeves?
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yes? Why not?
Speaker 3 (41:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Because Connect is supposed to be a better player than
Austin Reeves. They could trade Austin Reeves and get someone
else who's going to help them conceivably more. But it
really depends who Lebront was. Maybe Lebron likes Austin Reeves,
maybe he wants to keep them on the team. Lebron's
GM by proxy.
Speaker 11 (41:27):
Next Eagles Lane Johnson said in a recent interview that
Jalen Hurts has gone out of his way to connect
with his teammates this offseason. Do you think this will
translate on the field?
Speaker 1 (41:36):
So this is a typical puffery offseason story here, Shay,
it doesn't matter. All that matters is what you do
from the start of the season in September till January.
This is a nothing burger type story, and Jalen Hurts
has shown a fatal flaw throwing the ball, so it
will not translate.
Speaker 9 (41:55):
How did I do?
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Past? Is a past ass?
Speaker 3 (42:00):
I gotta win.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
I got a degree.
