This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
You gotta have a little Nefo Peppo in your steppo?
Well come, what does it mean?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Mean?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well? Come in not beginning, I'll explain of another night
of the Benmahler Show. We are in the air everywhere
United as we know, looks can be deceiving COASTU coast border,
the border in beyond. All the mass and hypnotically powerful

(01:04):
microphones of fs are am monating live from the paper
the paper confetti coming down from the rafters as we
are broadcasting live from the Tirak dot Com studios. Tyraq
dot com will help you get there at unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten

(01:26):
thousand recommended installers. James Lepool Guy and the Bourbon Badger
agree that's pretty cool tireraq dot com the way tire
buying should be in our lead this out. There are
a couple of ways that could go. Am I going
to zig? Or am I going to zag? I've decided

(01:47):
to zag and that's where I'm going. So our lead
this hour is from La La Land. It is not often,
not often that you have an introductory news conference for
a second round pick who was the fifty fifth selection overall,

(02:07):
especially one that averaged less than five points, less than
five points per game in college undersized usually try to
run from that. You don't have to celebrate it in
your a little embarrassed. He drafted the guy because his
dad plays for the teams running the team. He's the
GM by proxy. But it happened. So if you didn't

(02:30):
see this, and perhaps you missed it, Bronni Lenneppo James
was introduced. Now. He grumbled. He grumbled. He complained a
little bit about the negativity that people like yours truly
and others who practiced the ancient art of gas baggery
have taken towards him. He said, though this is great,

(02:54):
I've been dealing with I've been dealing with it my
entire life. Such a sob story. He says, there's more
pressure that comes with having the background that he has. Okay,
but that was not the high We'll get more of
that in a minute. But the highlight to me was
the podcaster and the foe coach JJ Reddick, King of

(03:18):
the schmucks. JJ Reddick. There who will talk down to you.
He's a genius. Just to ask him, he'll tell you.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
So.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
JJ Reddick dismissed the popular opinion by popular people that
the only reason Bronnie James was drafted is because of nepotism. Yeah,
Reddick wants you to know that's not true. He wants
you to no, no, no, no, no, no no no no,
that's wrong. That's wrong. A quote from Reddick. He said,

(03:49):
Bronni has earned it. He's earned this. Bronnie talks about
his hard work. Bronnie has earned this through hard, hard work,
bubbled talking about the nepo kid. So let's start with that.
That's the money quote. You always start with the money
quote when you get one. So let us discuss the question.

(04:10):
Podcaster slash coach JJ Reddick, the podcaster in chief, says
lebron jameson Bronnie quote, and I say this in air
quotes earned a spot with the Lakers through hard work.
What is your calculation on this one? So I've got bounty,
skid row, and whalers, and we will combine all of

(04:35):
these things together and we will go on quite the
adventure is what we're going to go on. So a
JJ Reddick, we know from previous conversations he's a big
math guy. He's a big math guy. Talk about that.
I'm told on his podcast. I didn't actually hear it firsthand.
I would have to listen to it. I don't listen
to people are a holes, So I didn't hear it.

(04:58):
But second hand people, Oh yeah, you talked about MA
and all this stuff. So he likes to spit at
the little peeper. That's what Reddick does. He spits at
the little people. But I tell you how smart he
is on this quote. Though. You don't have to be
some MENSA member. You can be one of the great
unwashed like you and I are, and understand that on

(05:20):
this one it is a de way deg way that
JJ Reddick is a toady. He's a tony. That's what
you're doing. We knew that when he got the job
that he had no business getting so of course he's
going to defend a player that has no business being
drafted into the NBA. Lebron James is the master puppeteer

(05:44):
in this story. That is what Lebron is. The great
puppeteers of our time, Jim Henson the greatest of them
all back in the day. But Lebron James a is
a puppeteer. He's got the JJ Reddick sock puppets. He
likes that a lot. He's always had figurehead coaches over
the years, but this is his masterpiece with his cat,

(06:06):
and every man, woman and child understands what the heck's
going on here with JJ Reddick. And I would like
to see I'm I'm not gonna be all negative here.
I'll be Benny bright Side. I would like to see
JJ Reddick get an endorsement deal with Bounty. Now why
Bounty because they're known as the long lasting picker upper.

(06:29):
And my guy JJ Reddick needs a really good paper
towel because he's got to wipe off his schnaz because
it's it's got a little brown stuff on there. He's
a brown noser, is what he is. My God, the
hard work thing I always laugh at that one because
I was doing this job during the heyday of the
steroid era in baseball, and I recall when the walls

(06:51):
started crumbling in that era for guys like Balco, Berry
Bonds and Mark McGuire and Sammy Sells. All these guys
you phy don't even know who they are, were big
stars back in those days, and they started getting outed
by people for doing steroids, and when confronted, they would say, Hey,
I remember Mark McGuire, who was a big slugger back

(07:14):
in there. I spend so much time in the gym
working out. I can't believe you would say these things
about me. But on this one, it's not even about
how much time you spend in the gym. Like literally
and figuratively, the only reason that Bronnie James is in
the NBA is because of the fact that he has
good DNA. He got in the right DNA line there
and it's the family business. Now let's circle back though

(07:37):
to the Lenepo. All right, the nepotism kid Lenepo quote
there from Bronnie about hardship, Bronnie James saying that the
pressure will be amplified after being drafted by his daddy's team.
Do you agree with him on that? Do you agree
that the pressure will be amplified on Scrownie Brownny? So

(08:01):
I'm shaking my head no on this one. You can't
see me. If you can, you're a stalker. This is farcical,
as al Michaels would say, even Ai al Michaels would say,
it's farcical. If you want to know what pressure is,
we have people that have pressure that listen to the
show Real legitimate pressure, right, real legitimate pressure. Pressure is

(08:22):
if you are homeless, go down to skid row if
you want to. You're a homeless person and you don't
know exactly where your meet next meal is gonna come from,
and you may or may not have kids. See, that's
that's pressure. Bronnie is the poster boy of privilege and entitlement.

(08:43):
He's the modern trust fund kid. Right in this case,
forget the trust one, you get that later, but now
you get every you get the NBA contract and all
that and the net bo baby man alive a dime
a dozen. I realize everyone's doing it, okay, So that
doesn't matter. We're picking on Bronnie James right now. Diame

(09:04):
a dozen In sports and entertainment child of a celebrity
who is not that good but gets a career because
they go into the family business. And that's how it
works here. And he's only getting the opportunity Bronnie James
and most knowledgeable people know this. He's only getting the
opportunity because of his daddy's connections in this case, the

(09:24):
hostile takeover of the ones proud now embarrassing Laker franchise,
not because of his own talent, his own ability, certainly
not because of merit. That's not what's going on here.
Le Netpo James, the Nepo James. They're signing a contract
with multiple guaranteed seasons. Normally a second round pick gets

(09:45):
a two way contract. It's not fully guaranteed. But the contract,
from what we're told, is fully guaranteed for the Nepo
baby Lee Neppo and a good luck on that. Good
luck okay here. So no major transactions, no boom Shaka
Laka trades in the NBA or free agent signings in

(10:09):
the last twenty four hours. So we started with this,
But there are some rumblings out there. The streets are
talking and they're saying that the Lakers are in full
on panic mode at this point. You hate to see it,
don't you, oh man, But they're now pivoting and they're

(10:30):
trying to get their hands on Blazers forward Jeremy Grant.
I'm not kidding, by the way, I'm not punking you.
This is not some kind of performance art. Jeremy Grant
of the Trailblazers. Would he make a noticeable difference. So

(10:52):
put two letters together and put on one side. I'll
add on the O and I'll put those together and
you get your answer right there. That would be no. Now,
Grant put up some good stats. He's what's known as
a classical stat bandito for a dog food Portland basketball
team garden variety. And I know because back in the day,

(11:15):
I spent a lot of my time covering horrific basketball teams,
and there were always there's always a guy every year
that had averaged twenty points, sometimes twenty three, twenty four
points a game, got a bunch of rebounds, blah blah
blah blah blah. But they were meaningless stats, just filling
up the box score, but nothing that contributes to winning.
And so the Lakers. What this tells you at this
point is the Lakers have missed out on all the

(11:38):
good players, all the impact players, all the players they wanted,
best laid plans of mice men and lead gm moron
and so now they're turning into whalers, not Hartford whalers.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Imagine in your head here there is a beached whale
in Santa Monica, a big beach whaler in Santa Monica.
And the Lakers have decided we're gonna put some deck
chairs on that beached well, we're gonna move them around
and wait for the inevitable explosion when blubber goes in
the air everywhere. And now it's not all bad. Every

(12:15):
show needs a court jester, and for the Lakers, this
is the clown show, so it's it's kind of cool.
It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you would like
to comment on any of that, anything we should have
said but did not say, anything we might say later on,
you are more than welcome to check in if you want.
All the lines that are open speak easy rules are

(12:37):
in effect, but we will have on I think the
next couple of shows because it's a holiday coming up,

all that stuff. Also on X at Ben Mahlor. If
you would like to be part that's at Ben Mahlor.

do it next.

(14:21):
on the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
As we are in the air everywhere, cheek to cheek
as we take a sharp turn coast, the coast, port
of the border and beyond.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
On the mast and funkily powerful microphones of fs are
emminating live from the breath as in a breath of
fresh hot air. We are broadcasting live from the tire

is a holiday weekend, and so the next couple of days,
most people aren't working. Most people that have the normal

(15:19):
jobs aren't working. They don't shut the radio station down.
We're open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
They don't close the doors. There's no locks on the
doors at the radio station. But I have campaign to
management at Fox, and I believe I have won the battle.
We will have limited commercial interruption all night long, limited

(15:43):
live reads. I think we might just do one an
hour at the top. That's it, maybe right? So Yeah,
and this is our gift. This is our our fourth
of July gift to you, the consumer of live audio. Contract. Yeah,
I'm gonna wrap myself in eighties is what I'm going. Anyway,

(16:04):
our lead this hour from pro Bouncy Ball. That's just
the content you want to hear. Am I doubt on
the pulse of the people here on the fourth is July.
The patriotic silly season continues to unfold or unravel, depending
how you look at it. Dateline lialand not sure if

(16:24):
you heard, maybe not. Lebron James has done the unthinkable,
the unimaginable. He has shocked the basketball world by going nowhere.
Labron has agreed to a not one but two year contract,
which is really a one year contract. We'll explain in
a second. One hundred and four million dollars. The max,

(16:48):
the max contract to stay with the once proud, now
tarnished basketball team, the second team in LA, the number
two team that we call it the jv the junior varsity,
the Lakers. Now, the new deal reportedly includes a no
trade clause and a player option, making it a one
year contract where Lebron can opt out again and then

(17:13):
bamboozle more money out of the fragile Laker ownership. Now,
my favorite part of this story is Lebron James. I
say this in air quest agent Rich Paul, who said
that the negotiation between him and the Lakers, you know,
the deal has been agreed to. They're still discussing the

(17:34):
possibility that Lebron James could take about a million blow
of the max. The number of people, the nerds, the
financial people, they get a little chubby. They get all
excited over the second apron. You want to stay under

(17:55):
the second apron or it rains down sulfur and fire,
and so you have more flexibility if you're under the
second apron. And that's a big deal. I always try
to avoid all aprons. Now, Rich Paul said that this
is great, oh so good. He said, Lebron is quote
prior to prioritizing a roster improvement, that that's the priority

(18:18):
while working on his new contracts. So let us discuss
what does Lebron James deal to stay with the Lakers.
Tell us, so, I've got soup kitchen, Jiminy cricket, and
case study, and we'll put all of these things together
and we will walk down the aisle to the refrigerator

(18:39):
and grab a late night snack. Is what we're going
to do.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
So a.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Lebron James is embracing the suck. That's what you're doing, right.
This is his show. He's the boss, and he is
able to somehow to put the the WAMMI on the
Laker franchise.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Here.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
He's been able to commander that's the word I was
looking for, commander the Lakers away from Jeanie Buss, who's
a zombie. At this point. Lebron's fingerprints are all over
this hot pile of pooh. He's not prioritizing wins, as
Rich Paul said, He's embracing corruption. This is what happens

(19:23):
in corrupt countries. It happens to be a basketball team.
You take care of your friends, right, political favors, Yeah,
hire your buddy that's a podcaster who has no business
coaching your team. Make sure that the company hires your kid,
Lee Neppo, and you take care of him as well, right,
little nepotism there, and make sure he gets a guaranteed contract.

(19:45):
And Lebron, by his actions, not his words. By his actions,
Lebron is announcing to every man, woman and child that
he is perfectly fine at this stage, the twilight of
his career, hanging out in the soup kitchen of the
NBA poverty franchise. Media dopes. Now they'll embrace, as we

(20:09):
know how the media dopes are. They've got their purple
and gold knee pads out, they do the old purple
and gold hoctua. But they will embrace the chicken soup
for the soul story of the father son combo, the
dynamic duo, and they'll they'll get all corny about that,
and they'll getting all excited, well, making excuses or ignoring

(20:30):
the Komodo dragon in the room, the HeLa monster of
a middling roster. Now, speaking of all that, page two,
here we read that Scrannie Bronni and Lebron they have
it all planned out, the best laid plans of mice
men and people that have had hostile takeovers of NBA teams.
So Lebron and Scrownie Bronni the Nepo Kid, They are

(20:55):
expected to be out together on the court to start
the season the first week of the NBA Sea, with
the games more likely than not to pop up on
national TVs. Rownnie Browni and Lebron will share the court
there the upcoming season. But then there will be a
crazy ivan a plot twist. Lee Nepo All right, Len

(21:18):
Nepo will be demoted to the South Bay Lakers. What
are the South Bay Lakers? They play west of the
four H five in the G League. So why is
Brownie James expected to start this season with the Lakers
but quickly go to the G League. Well, the first
thought I have is because he can't play. That's the

(21:39):
first thought. The second thought is it's all about the
photo op. It's all about this is marketing one oh one.
It's warm and fuzzy, is what it is. You got
Nike on one side, Disney on the other. They can
each get their commercial. You bring in Jimminy Cricket, he
can humbars of when you wish upon a star?

Speaker 5 (21:57):
Right?

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires
will come to you as long as your daddy took
control of a basketball team. Feel good moment really a
rags to riches story. You think about the hardship of
Bronnie James growing up the son of a billionaire must
have been difficult, Bronnie really pulling himself up from the
designer bootstraps to make it in the NBA, and then

(22:19):
you fade to black. That's it, game over right, last
word here. So we go to a gambling scandal a
follow up the unmitigated gall of someone named John day Porter.
We didn't even know who that was until the scandal broke.
He's a former Raptors player. He's been suspended for life. Yeah,

(22:44):
he's done in the NBA because he was fixing games.
So not games, but fixing his own, his own individual games,
his own props, because he got himself in a whole
lot of trouble with some bookmakers and needed to get
out of the hole. So the former Raptors player, John
day Porter, who's got another brother who's a big star

(23:04):
for the Denver Nuggets. But John day Porter is expected
to plead guilty, not to miss demeanor charges to fell
and eat charges in the big NBA Baffosaco betting scandal
which Adam Silver from outside the Milky Way and everyone
else would like you to ignore. He has been banned,

(23:26):
as we said, for life. John day Porter, How big
a deal is this? The fact that he's expected to
plead guilty, So actually, don't think it's that big a deal.
There is a digital paper trail. There's really no getting
out of this in the digital world. In the old days,
when you bet with your neighborhood bookie, there were ways

(23:47):
to avoid these situations. But now with everything digitally and
the tentacles that go all over it, you can't get
out of it right and for educational purposes though, here's
what I see in my crystal ball, and I'm never
wrong about these things. So John day Porter will more
likely than not get a plea deal. He will not

(24:09):
actually have to do any real jail time. He'll be
sentenced to probation, He'll have to walk the line, keep
his nose clean, go to gambling rehab, which I believe
he's already done. Gambler's anonymous and done that cowboy Dan
who calls the show during football season has been there
and been through that. Although on this one, is it
really a gambling addiction or is it just he got

(24:31):
caught and this is the way to a lighter sentence.
And so that's what I'm going to do, because any
good legal counsel would say, Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna send you out to like Malobo and put
you in some rehab clinic, and then I'm gonna fall
at the mercy of the court. The mercy of the
court is where he that's the where he goes. But

(24:54):
on this one, it is a case study, and it's
a case study on what not to do when you're
trying to fix games. They used to talk in the
old days before they sold out sports about the integrity
of the game. They don't care about that anymore. You
who cares about the integrity of the game the sports
gambling companies because they don't mind. And listen, I'm a

(25:14):
gambling myself. I did a TV show last year about
gambling on the NFL. But they don't mind when you
lose your money. But if you win your money, they're
gonna make sure that everything's kosher, is what they're gonna do.
And on this one. You have to appreciate the dumb
leading the dumber because these cats, and he was involved
with like four or five other people that were all

(25:35):
involved in this Jontay Porter. But these guys placed one
of them placed an eighty thousand dollars player prop wager
on Jontay Porter, an eighty thousand dollars wager on a
guy who's a fringe nobody roster spam. And so these
geniuses figured, no, no one's gonna think anything smells funny

(26:01):
about this. There's nothing suspicious about betting eighty grand on
a player prop on the under. And if you think
about this, this was duable, right if they had used
some decorum and not use the criminal mind. If they
do some decorum and say, bet five thousand dollars and

(26:21):
done it every third or fourth game and change up
the cadence. If they had done that, and maybe even
up to like ten grand, they would have likely gotten
away with it at least a lot longer than they did.
But instead they got greedy, and we know what happens.
They got slaughtered. And it's fair to say whoever was

(26:42):
behind this, the elevator does not go to the top.
It does not if you would like to be part,
speakeasy rules are not in effect. It's a holiday, so hey,
all the lines are open. If you like to be part,
you can join us here eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three

(27:05):
sixty nine. Also on the X Machine if you would
like at Ben Mallor. That's happened. A lot of people
getting out of Dodge for the holiday. But if you're
listening now, you probably haven't gotten out of Dodge. You're
hanging out on the homestead, and so we're here hanging
out with you as well, all night long. And if

(27:26):
you want your comment read on X follow me on there.
That helps us out, don't forget. We also have the
Mallard Meet and Greek coming up early August in Vegas.
We're taking the roadshow to Vegas, not actually doing the
show because that costs a lot of money for the
company and we're not doing that, but we will be
in Lost Wages Nevada coming up here in less actually

(27:46):
a month, I think a month, a little less a
month now, a little less month than a month from today.
So an NHL broadcaster has gone viral. What possibly could
this NHL broadcaster have done to go viral. We'll get
to that, and we will do it.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
Next.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Not exactly cutting down the nets. Well, come in the
beginning of another hour of the Benmahler Show. We are
in the air everywhere jointly as we are bored silly
unless we're not coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and rhythmically powerful microphones of fsre

(28:38):
am monating live from the stars and stripes as we
wrap ourselves in old glory. It's a big birthday party.
We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq
dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection at over ten thousand

(29:01):
recommended installers. Calligan Tim is going to watch ten thousand
fireworks and weed Man Hippie in Miami's probably been arrested
ten thousand times. Tire rack dot com the way tire
buying should be. So our lead this hour from the
Echo Chamber pro bouncy Ball one last time on this

(29:22):
fourth of July dateline, the Brooklyn bridge. It's falling down, down, down,
down down metaphorically. Of course, I don't know if you've
heard the latest on this. Maybe not. We definitely do
not spend enough time talking about the Brooklyn basketball team.
But the Nets, we are told they're looking to hold

(29:42):
a liquidation sale. They already got rid of one of
their big pillars, sending him across the way to the
Knickerbockers in a big trade NBA draft time. So the
Nets are trying to find a partner to do the
dosey dough and say bye bye to Ben Simmons. The

(30:02):
Aussie muffed it, get him off their hands. Now. Simmons
is the poster boy for the modern athlete. He is
an enigma. He's got the perfect mix. If you were
a bartender, you'd say, all, what's the drink here? So
let me mix together hypochondriac tendencies and low self esteem. Presto,
there you go. So for now, teams are said to

(30:26):
be ice cold. Why wouldn't they be on a deal
for Ben Simmons who doesn't want to play and when
he does play, doesn't play that well. However, here's why
I brought this up. There has been a growing drum
beat that Golden State has some interest in the services

(30:46):
of Ben Simmons. And there are said to be some
other mid level NBA teams that aren't terrible but aren't good,
like Golden State, that are considering the forbidden fruit of
pro bouncy ball, the Trojan hornes of hoops, Ben Simmons.
So let us discuss why why would NBA teams be
interested in Ben Simmons? Why would you want to go

(31:08):
down this road? So I've got paper collar, Joe, illusionists,
and back to the future, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
burgers and dogs, is what we're gonna make. Because I'm

(31:29):
doing that. Yeah, I usually don't eat during the week.
I ate like one meal during the week, but it's
the fourth is a librare inappropriate. So I'll be at
the griddle. I don't barbecue. I'm a real American. I
use the griddle. That's how you really do it. Youk
the griddle, all right? So number one, in the multiverse,
we always start out in the multiverse, it is possible

(31:51):
that Ben Simmons can be traded. And here's why. Where
there's a will, there's a way. And if one like
the nets. Really really he wants to get spicy and
do something they can't. But I would like to use
the immortal words of someone named paper Caller Joe. Not
our president currently taking a nap, but paper Caller Joe.

(32:14):
He made this comment about PT. Barnum and the success
that Barnum was having doing freak shows and America years
and years ago, the Circus World and whatnot. P T.
Barnum the greatest show on Earth, and Paper Caller Joe
was a rival of P. T. Barnum. He said, there's
a sucker born every minute, and some have remained suckers

(32:37):
all their lives. And that's my belief on this. Many
of these suckers run professional sports teams, and especially in
the NBA. And the phrase, which is an NFL phrase
but it applies to all sports, is you never give
up on talent. You never ever give up on talent.
Cannot do it. You can have a rap sheet a

(33:00):
mile long, all kinds of felonies and all kinds in
polite society has dismissed you. But if you can hit
a fallaway three point shot and throw down a hammer dunk,
there's a job for you. And Ben Simmons. Here's the
main selling point. Not only does Ben Simmons benefit from
the the Father Flanagan syndrome, trying to help out troubled

(33:20):
athletes that are down on the lock, they jump at
that opportunity, certain executives. But Simmons is on a forty
million dollar expiring contract. Can you believe the amount of
money that he is embezzled out of the Brooklyn basketball team.
So he's got another year left, he's expiring contract. So
teams like that, they get all turned on by that.
But Simmons, the Ozzie who muffed it, has appeared in

(33:43):
fifty seven total games since wearing that uniform, the Brooklyn
Nets uniform for the first time, and in those fifty
seven games, he has earned seventy eight million pesos. That
is a bunch of baloney, is what that is. That
is a whole lot of baloney, all right. Now, page two,

(34:07):
we go from one dog food team to another that
would be down I ninety five to DC where the
Wizards don't worry, No sorcery is used. The Wizards are
also looking to unload more dead wood from their sinking
wizardry shop. The whispers say the Wizards are knocking on

(34:29):
the door in La, La Land, and that the Lakers, Lebrons,
Lakers are showing interest in acquiring Kyle Kuzma. That's right,
the same Kyle Kuzma who they kicked out of La
They traded his ass to Washington in one of the
great disastrous trades from Sea to Shining Sea that sent

(34:51):
Russell Westbrook to the Lakers. So how do you rate
the reported interest of the Lakers and Kyle Kuzma of
the Wizards. So the Lakers here, now, the Lakers on
this one, they are the no, not Wizards. They're illusionists,
is what they are. They're creating the illusion of busyness.

(35:16):
Now this is very important. Now, it is very important.
If you have a boring job, a job that you
don't like, you have to figure out ways to look busy.
I have friends that I went to high school with
that have these jobs and we talk and they'll say, well, yeah,
you know, I get my work done real quick, but
I got to sit at that cubicle. So it really
comes down to performance art. And so you stay at

(35:38):
your workstation. This is what they tell me, Right, my
friends that have these steps, So you stay at your
workstation longer. You have to have focus. You got to
give the illusion that you're actually doing something very important.
You create the impression that you're very busy at work,
you're deep in thought, you're constantly in meetings, taking notes,

(35:58):
that kind of stuff, and year you're always you've got
a bag or a briefcase with important documents and all
that stuff. That's essentially what the Lakers are doing. They're
creating the illusion of busyness because when in reality, the Lakers,
the once proud now tarnished Lakers, missed out on the
Kobe beef. They didn't get the lobster, the filet minon.

(36:22):
They don't have that. And so right now, if you
look out at the landscape across the horizon, they're fighting
over spam and baked beans. That is what's left, that
is what is reasonably attainable at this point. And we're
only a few days into the NBA Silly Season, and
everything that was of value has flown off the shelves.

(36:46):
It's gone, and anyone left pials by comparison to what
has already been moved around. I mean, there's some guys
that have good numbers, that are high maintenance players that
it's unrealistic. We'll end up with the Lakers, all right,
final point, I'm gonna go back up I five to

(37:08):
the Bay Area, where Draymond Green continues to have an
axe to grind with the people's team, the Clippers. I
think he wants to play for the Clippers. Draymond, You're
not welcome with the people's team. So Draymond Green, pointing
the finger raising a ruck, is with the treatment by

(37:30):
the Clippers of their franchise, franchise legend, Paul George. I
would rather have Eric Patkowski, Banoit, Benjamin, Danny Manning, Pooh Richardson,
go down the list, Derek Martin. I'd rather any of
those guys than Paul George. By George podcast be anyway, Draymond,

(37:51):
fellow podcaster. All podcasters have to stand together. There's the
Fraternal Order of Podcasters. So Draymond calling out the Clippers
for properly failing, failing to sign and trade PG. Thirteen
to his preferred destination. And Draymond said that quote most

(38:12):
of these organizations ain't loyal. Close quote. Okay, they ain't loyal.
Let's address that. We speak from experience, years and years
of analyzing, breaking down, slicing, up these type of situations.
So where are you at on Draymond Green calling out
not just the Clippers but NBA loyalty. So I jotted down,

(38:36):
I had a little chicken scratch here, so I jotted
down a new nickname for Draymond Green. Not only is
he the nutcracker because he used to kick guys in
the nuts back in the day, but he's he still does.
He's the big O, not Oscar Robertson. He's the big Oh,
Draymond is obtuse. He's the big obtuse is what he is.

(38:56):
And this part of the story. And I know I'm
flowing a dead horse. I get it. And mister nice
Guy's not gonna like this and all our guys in
the Bay Area, but this is back to the future.
Don't be so gullible McFly right. Golden State did not
They did not take care of Klay Thompson. I believe

(39:18):
that's the team that cuts the checks to Draymond Green.
The Clippers didn't play ball with PG thirteen. But this
is a story as old as time. It is a
story as old as time, and it doesn't matter whether
you're in pro sports or in overnight talk radio. Right,
to quote my guy who at one point worked in
the studio. This show originates from Steve Harvey who said,

(39:41):
loyalty has an expiration date. And it's true. And if
you don't get that and don't grasp that, you're the fool. Right,
you're the fool. When you become a diminishing asset in
any line of work, you are then shipped off to
Siberia or the equivalent. Listen, my number is gonna come
up at some point. The company's making a lot of

(40:03):
money off the show, believe it or not. But if
they stop making money and the show's not doing well
and they can find somebody cheaper that will get them
the same audience or a bigger audience, I'm out of here.
I know that I know how this works, right, But
in the NBA it's the same thing. Paul George is
past his expiration date. He has been a malingering player.

(40:25):
He did not want to work with the Clippers, so
they said, we're not gonna help you out. You don't
work with us, We're not gonna now. If Golden State
had traded Kaminga to the Clippers, then Paul George would
be a Golden State warrior. Right now. But so it
didn't work out and he's now gonna be eating tasty
cakes in Philadelphia, and Klay Thompson is a whole different
can of worms and a whole different Pandora's Box. All right,

(40:47):
is the Ben Malors Show. If you'd like to comment
on any of that, as we carve up all the
big issues of the day in the sporting world, you
can join us here a scream, shout, yell all that stuff,
and we are here for you, and no speakeasy rules
because it is a holiday weekend. Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six

(41:10):
six three sixty nine, if you'd like to be part
of the program, and also on X at Ben Mahlor.
That is at Ben Mahlor. If you'd like to be
part of the program, you can join a scream, shout,
yell all that good stuff. I did not pay off
the teas from last dar, much to the dismay of
Eddie Garcia, so I still have to get to that story.
We got carried away with some other nonsense, but NHL

(41:31):
broadcaster has gone viral. We'll get to that. Also, a
football icon is now being used as a political pawn.
We're not sure if he's okay with that. We're not
even sure if he realizes he's being used as a
political pawn. But we'll get to that and we will
do it next Mallard the third Degree coming up on

(41:56):
this fourth of July. Time now for the install trivia,
And here it is Christian Walker, the Dodger Assassin of Arizona.
He became the fifth visiting player to hit five home
runs in a single four game span at Dodger Stadium.
Blank was the first visiting player to do it. That
is the question. What is the answer. Let's see does

(42:17):
anyone in the Mala Militia know the answer? And Alf
the Alien Opiner says, Smokey Bear is the answer. The
master of his own zip code. Caesar Geronimo from Art
Puffin That's a good name. Toby Stoner from Mister Nice Guy,
Dora the Explorer guess by Cowboy Killer Jay Johnstone. May

(42:42):
he rest in peace from mal prop Guy. Who else
do you have? Kevin McReynolds from I forty I and
Doug Mnkaevich from James World b Free Guests by Shane
in des Moines. I thought you don't like the NBA Shane,
what do you give me? Old NBA guys? Mark Bellinger
from Robin, Minnesota. Who else do we have? Fat Dad?
He says Jason Stathum beekeeper is the answer? The late

(43:04):
Ken Caminetti from DJ Spin in San Diego, Mo Vaughn,
Maurice Vaughan from Slim tim Ron Santo guests by Sean
in Portland. That's enough, Eddie.

Speaker 7 (43:16):
What's the answer at a former Oakland a's legend?

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Matt stares, it's good name. That's wrong, though, Eddie. The
correct answer Michael jack Schmidt in n died for the
fighting fails. Here we go, he how about that? To
the third degree?

Speaker 5 (43:38):
This is one big Ben gets grilled.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
It's not Roddy Piper, it's Ian Roddy in the producing chick. Hello,
hey Ben, All right, let's get into it.

Speaker 8 (43:49):
So U Mookie Betts said he's open to playing second base,
the outfield, or shortstop when he returns from the injured list.
So that's three new positions he doesn't normally play. Ben,
Is Mookie Bett done as the Dodgers shortstop?

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Yeah? So the writing is on the wall on this
in and he did play the outfield obviously a lot
in Boston when he got to the Dodgers, He's fetched
around at second base, but he was statistically the worst
shortstop in baseball defensively. And the Dodgers claim to be
trying to win World Series, So if you have a
bad defensive shortstop, that is problematic. And they've all but

(44:25):
admitted that this is it, that Mookie's not going to
be a shortstop again. They might even trade for somebody
here before the deadline later this month. So yeah, he
is done as a shortstop. I'd be very surprised. He
might play there occasionally, but not as an everyday shortstop.

Speaker 8 (44:39):
Next the Raiders, Max Crosby says he's quote exhausting every
single resource to have a career year in twenty twenty four, Ben,
can you decode what this means?

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Yes, first of all, this is propaganda in this is
Raider propaganda. Two, shouldn't you be doing that every single right?
Shouldn't you be exhausting every single I do this show.
I come in here every night. I try to make it,
as John Wooden would say, my masterpiece. Now usually I
fail miserably, but the effort is there. So why are

(45:11):
you even bothering saying that you're just looking for compliments.
You're fishing for compliments. That's what Max Crosby is doing.
Bad job by you.

Speaker 8 (45:20):
Next, a major fan group has called for the US
men's national soccer team to fire coach Greg Bernhaltz after
playing like garbage in the Copo America. Ben, does this
request carry any weight?

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Yeah? I saw this. Now, we don't talk soccer much
in the show other than the World Cup, but I
love this story because my friends of their soccer fans
are losing their mind. When I was a kiddy, and
I'm much older than you. When I was a kid,
they said ten years from now, fifteen years from now,
America is going to nominate soccer. I'm a middle aged
man and the US blows at soccer. They're terrible, And

(45:54):
who cares about a fan group. They're not running USA soccer.
They're just doing it for attention. But the whole thing
is a cluster f and I love it. How did
we do it?

Speaker 4 (46:05):
That is a wind? I won another wind for me.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
If Mama ain't happy, nobody's happy. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show. As we
are in the air, everywhere beside one another, as we
don't leave home without this show. Coast to coast, border

(46:34):
the order and beyond on the mast and jazzily powerful
microphones of fs are ammating live from the grill as
we are grilling all night, griddling all night and all
day and all that. We're broadcasting live from the tire
raq dot com studios. Tyraqt dot com will help you

(46:56):
get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in starars. Double
Mexican in San Diego sent about ten thousand comments into
the show tire rack dot com the way tire buying
shoe be So I lead this hour from motherhood. Now

(47:20):
you're probably thinking, why on God's green Earth would a gasbag,
blow hard, know it all talk show host talk about motherhood?
What could he possibly know about it? And the answer
is not anything about motherhood. But let me explain. So,
Patrick Mahomes, we are told that he has a mother.
Believe it or not, He wasn't born in some kind

(47:41):
of lab somewhere. No, he's not some kind of weird
science experiment. He actually was born from a woman, I
believe it or not. Yeah, And Mahomes mamita has gone viral.
And if you didn't see this, he probably didn't. You
might think it's a waste of time. But we'll do
the limbo and we'll go down there. So Randy Maomes
is the lady's name that is the mother of Patty Mahomes,

(48:06):
the quarterback. You might have heard of him. He's kind
of a big deal and he's the guy that is
hanging out there winning Super Bowls. Now. His brother is
also from Randy Mahomes. Abey Jackson Mahomes, who is writing
Patrick Mahomes coat tails pretending to be some kind of
foe social media influencer. Aren't we all social media influencers?

(48:28):
And so anyway, the mom stay with me. There'll be
a test on this later. So Randy Mahomes announced that
she is envious of people who live regular lives. So
Randy Mahomes, the mother of Patrick Mahomes, is jealous of
you and me because we live regular lives. Now, how

(48:51):
do we know this?

Speaker 5 (48:52):
We know this.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Because she said it. During a recent podcast appearance, she
announced that she wishes she had a quote normal situation
and that her life is quote super difficult, having to
deal with her son being a quarterback in Kansas City
Now the mother of Mahomes. Mahomes Mama said that this

(49:19):
is the hardest seven years of her adult life since
Mahomes became Mahomes in the NFL, said the hardest seven
years of her adult life. But wait, there's more. She
also said that she has cried a lot and struggled
with it. Oh Man Class, House of Emotion. So let

(49:44):
us discuss the question chief star Patrick Mahomes, his mother
recently complaining about her son's fame affecting her situation, claiming
that she wouldn't wish this on her worst enemy. What
is your position on this commentary by the mom of

(50:06):
Patrick Mahomes. So I've got mushroom, sea otters, and cigars
and rum. We'll combine all of these things together and
we're gonna bring the house down, is what we're gonna do.
So first of all, I saw these quotes and I
was like, I don't know. I was interested. I was like,

(50:27):
I really want to talk about a mother podcast interview,
and I was like, okay, And then I read them
again and I saw what she said and it made
me want to puke in my mouth. This is the
walking talking embodiment. Of wallowing in victimhood and also trying
to get some clout out of being the victim, when oh,

(50:47):
your child happens to be one of the most famous
athletes in the world and is making hundreds of millions
of dollars. So Patrick Holmes, and maybe I'm wrong on this,
but I would say he's at the peak of his superpowers.
Just won a Super Bowl without having any wide receivers.
Pretty hard to do. And yet here you are, as
the mom, and you're making it all about you. All right,

(51:08):
You've hopped down to the train depot. You've jumped on
the pity train, which just derailed at the intercession of
suck it up and move on, all right. Nobody ever
heard a peep about tom Brady's mom other than when
she had an illness. But I don't Maybe she did,
I don't recall. Maybe somebody who's a tom Brady's stand

(51:29):
he'll let me know. I don't ever recall tom Brady's
mom doing interviews. I know his dad called into local
talk radio in Boston quite a bit, but his mom
did not. So how was tom Brady's mom able to
make it and navigate his entire career and not end
up becoming a thing. She lives a quiet life in

(51:51):
northern California, far removed from the drama O rama. But
yet you have Randy Mahomes, who, in her own words,
crying herself to bed. And the more the people around
Mahomes talk, Yeah, I mean, look at where he came from,
Jackson Mahome. Mahomes is a cocker doodle. I wanted to

(52:14):
say something else. The dad has clearly a substance abuse problem,
and the mom is an attention wore. So Mahomes, the
people he was around growing up, I think he's a mushroom.
Because mushrooms, we know they can grow in darkness, surrounded
by cow dung. And that appears to me where Mahomes

(52:36):
came from. Patrick Mahomes. All right, now, turning the page,
we have a obligatory mallar monologue update on the wants
and needs of a certain NFL disgruntled wide receiver. Stateon run.
NFL media tells us that Niners wide receiver Brandon i

(53:00):
Uugh not anywhere close to a deal with the team,
which leads to the obvious question, how come the forty
nine Ers and Brandon Ayuck are no closer to a
contract agreement. So what we have here is an old
fashioned impast. It is a staring contest. It is rush

(53:23):
hour gridlock is what it is, whatever adjective you want
to use to describe it. Brandon Ayuck was sending out
cryptic messages about wanting to play for the commanders. How
embarrassing is that he was trying to rally the troops
in Pittsburgh to bring him to Pittsburgh despite that at
this moment in time where we are right now, at

(53:47):
this moment of time, he's basically acting like a sea
otter from morro Bay that he's content for now. This's
kind of treadwater near more all rock there, just do
his thing, waiting for his payday. La la la la
la la la la la la la.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
All right.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Final and is he making like fifteen million or whatever
it is this year? So let's not start a go
fundme or have a bake sale to help him out?
Final thought? We pivot away from football talking bays ball problems.
Not all quite on the Western front dateline, Seattle, it

(54:30):
got a little smoky in the Mariner clubhouse. Now, those
hippies weren't smoking weed in the Mariner Clubhouse, but on
Wednesday afternoon, we are told by breathless media coverage straight
from the horse's mouth that a baseball player named JP
Crawford another baseball player named Ty France went into the

(54:51):
Mariner locker room and lit not one, but two two
bundles of sage and performed a in every corner of
the room, trying to get rid of the demons which
have attacked the Seattle baseball team. If you have not
been paying attention, the Mariners have gone on holiday here

(55:15):
mid season, decided to stop hitting the baseball, which I'm
told you need to do in order to win games.
It's been an absolute embarrassment for the Mariners. Now keep
in mind that this is a temporary situation. The Texas
Rangers last year had a miserable stretch and they ended
up winning the World Series. But the question is did

(55:36):
did this help right? Because not only did the Mariner
players Ty Franz and JP Crawford go around burning sage
after they cleansed their teammates lockers, we are told that
Crawford went into the manager, Scott Service's office and filled
it with smoke as well. So the Mariners have turned

(55:57):
to burning sage around the clubhouse to end this, Are
you impressed? Are you impressed with this move? So, I
don't know that impressed is the right word. I'm I'm
I found it amusing. I always get a kick out
of these stories. It's a baseball thing. It doesn't typically
happen in football. It doesn't happen in basketball. In other sports,

(56:20):
they just smoke weed in the locker room. But it's
like a baseball thing, right, You go around the locker room,
you do this, that and the other thing and all that.
So it didn't work. The Baltimore Orioles added to the
misery of the ms the Tridents, the Orioles jumped out
to a three to nothing lead. They won four to one.
Just a basic run of the mill major League baseball

(56:41):
game on a random Wednesday night during a holiday week.
So it didn't work for now, But I am bemused
by this. This is like a starter kit. The way
I would describe it. It's like a starter kit. Like
when I was a kid, I wanted to be a magician.
My mom got me some magic sets and I was like, oh,
that's a starter kit. But I'm not a real magician.
I'm not working at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. It's

(57:03):
a starter kit. Now to go next level, you've got
to bring in Joe Bo. Okay, you got to bring
in Joe Bu. And you've got to take the fear
from the batch, just like Joe Bo. Right, you could
hit the fastball, could hit the curveball. Mariners can't hit
the curveball, can'd it? Fastball candidate, the slider, can't break
the ball, none of those things. They can't hit it.

(57:23):
They can't hit it. All right. I think JJ from
Renton would do a better job hitting than the manners.
So what you need to do here is not just
burn the Saints. You burn more sage. But then you
offer to the baseball gods Joebo, you offer cigars and
rum is what you offer. And then you clap your
hands if you believe. You got to clap your hands

(57:45):
if you believe the power of positive thinking aka the
tinker Bell effect. Like the New York Mets. Some of
those those guys think they are winning because of Grimace.
They think that winning because of a fat purple block
and so okay, they think it and they can market
it and do across promotions with Mickey Days. Okay, fine,

(58:09):
knock yourself out. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. As
we continue on, if you would like to be part
of this, you can join us here speak easy, rules
are in effect, but you can be part of the fun.
Actually or not if I did I say speak, he's
a rules. No, it's a holiday. So fourth, there's a lot.
What am I doing eight seven seven ninety nine on

(58:31):
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine,
If you'd like to be part also on ex at
Ben Mahlor. We're a little backed up. I mean some
garlic here, clear out the system. We are little backed up.
We will get to the story that we had teased
earlier about a well known figure in football who is

(58:51):
being used as a pawn, a political pawn. We're not
sure if he realizes it or not. He might not.
We'll get to that coming up in a little bit.
But time now for the mallor riddle of the day.
And here is the mallor riddle of the day. We
go to baseball. We're a big star former MVP Jose Canseko,
well baseball player. Many years ago Jose Canseco accidentally posted

(59:17):
photographs of his blank on social media. Now keep it clean.
It is a family show. Jose Canseko, former MVP back
when the Oakland A's were popular and they had fans
and they loved the team. Jose canseco accidentally posted photos
of his blank on the social media. That is the

(59:39):
mallor riddle of the day. The answer, We'll get to
it and we will do it next.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
It's now time for.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
How Twitter. Send us your questions on Twitter now and
the way we go is ask Ben. Your questions are
in for the rest of the hour. The reading of
the questions in the big chair is one of our
old morning guys used to stay back in the day.
That would be a producer, roddy Ian is his first name. Ian.

(01:00:12):
The reading of the questions and what do we have here?

Speaker 8 (01:00:16):
All right, Well, we'll start off with a question from
Inca Terror at Inca Terror on the X machine.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
U Ia Terror.

Speaker 5 (01:00:25):
If there were.

Speaker 8 (01:00:25):
An international mallor meet and greet, where would you like
it to be?

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Ben? Yeah, so I squeal We're gonna do one of
these at some point. I'm gonna get dragged Europe. I
think that's where we're gonna end up, somewhere in Europe.
So I'd love to meet Terry in England. He's been
a big support of the show for a long time.
Butch Autobon, butch in Germany, and I could see somewhere

(01:00:48):
in Italy like a villa, some villa in Italy or
something like that. I can see that happen.

Speaker 8 (01:00:53):
So part of what's based around where the listeners are.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Well, no, where my wife wants to go. But the
way this works in it is, I, I like, the
only reason we didn't want in Charleston's because my niece
was graduating from from college, so I had to go
for that.

Speaker 8 (01:01:05):
So you go to college to Charleston. Yes, I have
a few friends that went there.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
Oh cool, Yes, a really really cool place. So yeah,
so where we end up traveling. My wife's gonna want
to go to Europe at some point, so you know London.
Everyone flies into London and then you go to wherever
we end up, So one of those places next.

Speaker 8 (01:01:22):
All right, from JT the wingman at may Sell Scars
on Twitter, Ben, since it's so hot in many areas
of the country, what is your favorite cold treat to enjoy?

oatmelk cookies, but I do like the Coula Coos quite
a bit.

Speaker 8 (01:02:30):
I love chocolate covered bananas and I also love Snickers

Yeah, that's not a great answer. Those are great ice
that's a terrible answer, terrible answerer. Ice cream bar is
not that good. What's your favorite cold cold treat on
a warm day.

Gotta be just a classic strawberry milkshake.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
That's not bad. I like that's my go to it
in and out when I when I get the strawberry too.
Take it. All right, what's next? Let's ask Ben? Your
questions are answers for the rest of the hour.

Speaker 8 (01:03:01):
All right. From Art Puffing at k one x tartar
Ti on on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
I hope I get it at f up A name
you don't have to say, but Art Puffing you.

Speaker 8 (01:03:11):
Can say anyway. Any famous radio personality impressions, bless you, Loreno,
any famous radio personality impressions that you're proud enough to
do for.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
Us, Well, you have to pay me on cameo and
I will do them.

Speaker 7 (01:03:26):
But come on, Ben, it's ridiculous that Rob Parker.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Did you have to come on? Yeah? I could do
like all the guys I can do. The radio people
are all dead. So it's like, you know, Larry King, uh,
Paul Harvey, they're all dead age exactly what about you? Eddie?
Did he did? Rob Lorena? No, I'm Delilah. You can't

(01:03:55):
do it. You don't even know who Delilah is, do yeh,
she's some girl on the radio something like that. What
about you in any radio personality? I can't.

Speaker 8 (01:04:04):
I wish I could help you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 8 (01:04:07):
Come on, actually I like I like Covino and Riches,
Colin Cowherd. They did the star attract other stars.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
What's next? Next? Next?

Speaker 8 (01:04:20):
How many illegal fireworks have you stockpiled for today?

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Ben?

Speaker 8 (01:04:24):
That comes from Ferg doc.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Well, Fergie, as you know, it's all about the fireworks.
It's not about that laser light show bull craft. It's
out there and I cannot. I live in a city
where fireworks are not illegal. So the answer publicly, my public
answer is nun Privately it might be different. What about
you any fires?

Speaker 7 (01:04:40):
I don't have any, but my neighbors I guarantee you
have tons of them?

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
All right? The right out? No, Ben, all right, and
you're out. You're cut out of the show. In it's
all over.

Speaker 5 (01:04:50):
Step into a world of tomfoolery. The Ben Mellor Show
has zero marketing budget, so we need your assistance is
to grow the congregation of malar militia. How do you
do it? Just tag Big Ben related on all of
his content, whether it's on social media. This social media
that you are the missing jigsaw puzzle piece to unlock

(01:05:12):
the Ben Mallor showed to new compatriots. Now, let's get
back to a man who's worring a replica San Diego
Chargers helmet with cleats on as he's doing the show.
It's Big Ben.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
Lightning Bolt, San Diego, Cardiff by the Sea.

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Yeah. My theory was always when I I interned for
this old radio guy, Lee Hacksaw Hamilton, and my theory
was when he moved to LA because he'd worked in Cleveland,
he'd worked in New York, he worked in Phoenix, he
worked around the country. So he flew to LA, drove
down to San Diego and just wrote notes on every
single city in North County San Diego and then just

(01:05:54):
repeated them on the show. I'm pretty sure he did that.

Speaker 5 (01:05:57):
I heard that his show. If there were no callers,
he got a little nervous. Really, didn't you hear that?

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
Nah? I mean he had, but yeah, because he well,
you would do a rant at the beginning, like the
first fifteen minute for fifteen minutes, greatest fifteen minutes in
radio until Twitter came around, and then after that, uh
he yeah, he didn't usually take Yeah, he took calls
and then he'd do like an interview. It was. It
was pretty planned out. Everything was, Hey, let's get to

(01:06:27):
the calls because people are on hold. Why not? And
let's say hello? Is it it? Says Kovica in Maui? Hellokvika?

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
Am I saying that? Right? Hello? Kovica?

Speaker 8 (01:06:38):
We literally just lost him.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Okay, come on, it's early in Maui. What are you doing? Man?
Let's say a little hollering James. Is he sleeping? I
don't hear him. Snow. He's definitely not sleeping. He's not snoring.
He's not he's probably running to the phone. Round figure

(01:07:00):
it out. Oh wait, I heard there. It is that
it's are you playing the drop?

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
Really, that's him. Oh this is good. What a holiday
treat from hollering James quality radio.

Speaker 5 (01:07:19):
I think he needs to see.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
No, he's fine. I met him at the sounded great. Yeah,
good shape. It looks it looks like a butterball turkey.
That's all right, it is. Remember what I said earlier
in the show that everyone's got a superpower. This is
his power right here, this is his sweet spot.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
What's yours?

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
I'm still trying to find it. Hey, Loreena, can you
imagine if somebody was genary to this guy and had
to sleep next to him.

Speaker 8 (01:07:57):
But night he's sleep in the outhouse.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
Ben.

Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Now, I would argue the greatest moment in the history
of game shows on this show involved hollering James when
he sounded like this. We played Mallard's Mountain Money and
oh no, we played too much or not it was
too much or not enough. We played I know I'm
top down, James, tom Da, No, you're exciting. But he

(01:08:24):
played the game, and we based it on if he snored,
it was too much, if he didn't store, it was
not enough or something like that, and he won the game. Yeah,
he won the game.

Speaker 5 (01:08:36):
What if he's actually awake? What if he's just pulling
our leg right now?

Speaker 4 (01:08:40):
Oh no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
He loves this show. I'm as thirty personal lady, I
am his superman, which he's very sad for me, and.

Speaker 8 (01:08:48):
I'm I'm good to just sit here and listen to
him snore for the rest of the show.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
It's it's rhythmic, isn't it something about therapeutic?

Speaker 5 (01:08:56):
Yes, it's beautiful white noise.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Yeah, all right, don't hang up on him, put him
on hold, Do not hang up on him. I demand you.
You're not hanging up on him? Okay, don't hang out.
Let's go to Marcel in Brooklyn. Boy, the hits just

curse at you.

Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
He went like that, Oh my gosh, it's that right?
And is that true?

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
You want me to ask him?

Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
Oh, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
So, Okay, I won't ask him. Then, as a matter

Speaker 8 (01:12:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
Really? Is that right? What do you think of the
Vikings chances this year? Okay, no, no comment on that. Silent?

Speaker 3 (01:12:33):
Interesting?

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
What about the twins? Anything on the twins? Yeah, you're twins.
I always knew you were more of a twins guy.
I always knew that. All right, put him on hold.
Let's go back to Marcel. Marcel, he did not seem
too upset by your threat. He did not seem to upset, I.

Speaker 4 (01:12:51):
Understood, well said. The fact is why if Hallward James
tried to snoiling and gning and snoring all over the place.
This is a free radio in this free world. I
guarantee it, my friend, snoring is not the worst of

(01:13:12):
its own. But it's snoring. It's not men's best friends.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
Well, well said Marcel. Unbelievable. Put this on someday that
I've just done five minutes of radio with a guy
snoring in Marcel and Brooklyn. Unbelievable, Marcel. Would you like
to toss to the news update? Marcel? You want to
do that? Marcel?

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
Well, absolutely all right.

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
The fun fact about the fourth of July is coming
up to funny Marcel, what all things consider about Major
League Baseball, the NBA, the.

Speaker 4 (01:13:45):
Nc double A, NHL, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (01:13:50):
Well, this guy is always on top. Oh yeah, Marcel.
We are thick into the NBA season, so it is
good that you mentioned that. Oh and you forgot to
mention that there is tennis going on as well. Wimbledon action,
and let's go right there to start, if you guys
don't mind. We've got Novak Djokovic. He won a second
round match that was in four sets. He got that done.

(01:14:10):
Ben Shelton of the United States is onto the third
round at the All England Club with his five set
extravaganza and has win over Lloyd Harris. When it comes
to what else is going on, Yeah, you talked about
Major League Baseball a little bit, and we had some
notable games, including the Dodgers losing nine to three to
the Diamondbacks, Christian Walker Belting.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
You know, there's a whole big country out there, and
there's a lot of games, a lot of teams. I
feel like you're you're too local. I feel like you're
too local.

Speaker 5 (01:14:38):
I'm too local. Yeah, how so because I'm giving the
Dodgers score yeah too frequently.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
You know, I feel like you're not focusing. The Yankees
have lost fourteen of the last nineteen. I feel like
that's a bigger storage.

Speaker 5 (01:14:52):
Well it is.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
I don't think you're leading with that. Your West Coast
bias is showing up.

Speaker 5 (01:14:57):
Well, let me tell you something. So when I went
to sports updates, it's kind of like University of Phoenix.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
It's actually Clown College.

Speaker 5 (01:15:05):
Well that's exactly. Well, that was it, because that's where
I learned how to take a class from you. I
know you were pret.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
Well you actually I remember you were in that class.
You got an a and spitting in the wind and
and you only got to see in plowing the ocean,
which I'm surprised by.

Speaker 5 (01:15:20):
It's funny because you spent the weekends as a guy
who would show up at kids birthday parties as your
just dad living and you came with the balloons and
you'd blow all the animal balloons for the kids.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
What are you talking about? Your imaginary friend when you
were a kid was a clown. I don't know what
you're talking about. Please, I remember that day your mom.
I actually talked to your mom about this when I
met your mom. Your mom was so proud when you
got that certificate that you you were in that class
that you nailed Jello to the wall.

Speaker 5 (01:15:48):
She was so proud of you. And that's my little
boy right there. Goodness that it better myself. But I
will say, been in sports radio school. You want to
lead with the stuff that happened most recently. So the
game that ended later in the night, especially if they're
of importance with good teams. That's kind of why stacked
the up.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
Okay, so that's why you led the first hour with
competitive eating in tennis.

Speaker 5 (01:16:11):
I didn't touch tennis, but yes, competitive eating is very important.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
Same thing.

Speaker 5 (01:16:16):
Yeah, and soccer is important because you've got argent It
is important.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Just not where we live. It is important, just not
in America. No, not in LA where there are two
MLS teams Argentine, Argentina. And your point, it's pretty decent
as far as people wanting to watch and follow it.
But Argentina tops Ecuador four to two on penalty kicks,

(01:16:40):
this after a one to one score. That was the
Copa America quarterfinals. Okay, what to one more baseball scorer
since we went around the country and talking going back
to baseball that yeah, well Royals they face planned ten
to eight.

Speaker 5 (01:16:51):
They lose to to the Rays. And then lastly, major
league eating dominated the sporting landscape. On fourth of July,
Patrick Bertolletti winning the Nathan's Tatok eating contests. And he
did it with fifty eight dogs that he was able
to munch on.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
And he didn't actually eat dogs. He ate hot dogs
as a sausage. He did not kill the animals and
eat them.

Speaker 5 (01:17:12):
Well you heathen, Yeah, but you mentioned earlier. It's also
the buns. The question is when does he have a
reversal of fortune? How long does that They have to
hold it in for like ten minutes afterwards? Yes, there
is a shot clock subsort, there's a cert.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
Well in the hot dog contest that Nathan's one. I
believe you have to do some interviews and if you
have a reversal of fortune before your first interview, that's it.
There's a period, not a grace period. You have to
keep it in now. I have heard stories in Philadelphia,
great radio man Angelo Cataldi in Philadelphia. I was a

(01:17:51):
guest on the show one time, but Angela hosted the
morning show in Philly and it was the King of Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (01:17:55):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
He's retired now, But they had this thing called the
Wing Bowl in Philadelphia and a wing eating contest, and
I heard stories that after that thing was over, it
was like Sodom and Gomorra in the parking lot where
people were just puking all over. It was it was
like a global pandemic had had struck wild. He was

(01:18:20):
he was the ringleader, he was the mastermind. It was
kind of like when you do a news update, people
were puking everywhere.

Speaker 5 (01:18:24):
Well, I was gonna say when I actually walked into
work tonight, it almost felt like puking because it smelled
like somebody had just smoked a bowl in the update
room and really multiple people in before you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
It can't be that hard to figure out, right.

Speaker 5 (01:18:43):
I don't know the name, but I think it rhymes
with like Schneven Schneider.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
Oh interesting, wow.

Speaker 5 (01:18:51):
Yeah, And I had building there that's play. I mean
I heard multiple people. I said, come on over here,
is it just me and it Lily?

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
She's I worked at a radio station. I'm not saying
it's the one I work at now. But somebody left
coke in the bathroom. How about that years ago at
a radio station I worked at.

Speaker 5 (01:19:09):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):
You know what they call puke? You know what they
call puke at Disneyland. You know they call it a
protein spill. Oh wow, Lorena knows that. She's she's a
seasoned pass holder at Disneyland. Yeah, right, they call it
protein spill. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:19:28):
I've never heard that one, but I'm sure it's true.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
True. No, I promise you look it up. I'm not
making it up. Well, are you done?

Speaker 5 (01:19:35):
I was going to say, yeah, back to you, man,
I'm looking forward to you and I just you and
I going to Disneyland sometime.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
I'm busy.

Speaker 8 (01:19:42):
You know you can get matching ears.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
Wow, I'm good. Although I will say at California Adventure.
My favorite ice cream dessert is at California Adventure, at
the Garri Deli. They have a Gared Deli, which is
northern California place, and they got one of Disneyland. Awesome.
Mister nice guy says, it's obvious Fox Sports Radio is

(01:20:06):
using AI technology on their shows. I just heard Maller
do a positive take on the Warriors. Yeah, Mallard would
never be caught dead in front of a microphone on
a holiday weekend. You know how, I think I'm at
my house in Rhode Island, or maybe I don't know.
Maybe I'm at my house in Portland or Vegas. I
don't know. I lose track of all my homes. I

(01:20:28):
have no idea where I am. Unbelievable, kirk Duck says.
Ferk Ducks says, I don't blame Roberto for hitting the bottle.
I would too if I was a Laker historian. All
the Lakers with on free agent after free agent, the
Clippers and the Intuit Dome are taking over La. So

(01:20:48):
he says. Yeah. Keith says, I once asked Ben if
I were the only one who enjoyed James snoring calls,
and he said yes. Now it's a pointment radio for listeners.

There's Iowa Tiger. Didn't met your name, Finley or Ian.

Speaker 5 (01:26:08):
He's one of the few guys that you've met that
wasn't from a truck stop.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
If you're gonna write the lines, you've got to work
on the delivery. It just doesn't work. It sounds like
you're reading. But Lorena, was I not just having this
conversation the other day off the air?

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
You did?

Speaker 4 (01:26:25):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
Yeah, Like there's an art to it. You can't sound
like you're reading, and with you we can hear the
anxiety in your voice, the heart palpitations, the shivering as
you're delivering the line. It's not great.

Speaker 5 (01:26:38):
It's like he was ordering to punch it, you know.

Speaker 8 (01:26:40):
Yeah, put your foot on the gas next time.

Speaker 5 (01:26:42):
