Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb berth three, our three,
piping hot out of the oven on this Monday back
to work day in the summer. And Steve Kerr, you
know who he is, right, coach with the Warriors. Well,
Steve Kerr says that Team USA's narrow escape over the

(00:20):
weekend against South Sudan is on him. Is that how
you see it? Also, Joel Embiid of the Sixers, who's
playing for the US, he took some blame for the
seventy six ers struggles. How much of that is actually
on him? And the Clippers owner Steve Balmer, the richest
owner of North American sports thanks to Microsoft Microsoft. He said,

(00:44):
you never really own a pro sports team. You just
take care of it. Your thoughts on that will go
all of those directions and more. Right now here it
is our number three. It is a bit of patriotic panic,
is it pre mature? The welome In the beginning of

(01:04):
another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in
the air everywhere, amigos. As we say, quality is job one.
Coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On the
vast and prestigiously powerful microphones of fsre ammundating live from

(01:25):
the shelves as these hot takes are flying off the
shelves right now. We are broadcasting live from the tier
rac dot com studios tyraq dot com. Well help you
get there, an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stallers. Mister

(01:45):
nice guy has put ten thousand cans of tomato soup
on aisle three tire raq dot com the way tirebind
should be in our lead this hour from I say
pro bouncy Ball, but it's really from the Olympics. Although
the Olympics haven't started in Perie coming up here soon,

(02:06):
so they haven't actually started the Olympics. But there is
Olympic related news. The latest incarnation of what some have
the goal the Hutzba to call the Dream Team was
in a dicey situation over the weekend. Now I'm not
gonna sit here and tell you that I watched this.
I did not, but I watched the reaction and the
reaction was over the top. And chances are you did

(02:29):
not watch this either, but you probably heard about it,
and I'll give you the condensed recap. So Team USA
filled with big names like Lebron James and Steph Curry
and all these guys. Team USA narrowly won a pre
Olympic exhibition game against South Sudan over the weekend. They

(02:49):
won by one point. They won by what a team
filled with NBA players and they won by one point. Now,
the South team gained their independence thirteen years ago, so
thirteen years ago, and they put together and out of bodies.
This is the kind of game. If they had won

(03:12):
the game, they would have made some kind of Disney
movie about it, that this team of misfits ended up
beating a team of NBA Hall of famers and legends
and all that. Well, get to the point, please, So
I'll give you the key part is the red meat
in the lions den. So US coach Steve Kerr. He
took the blame. Blame me. I'm the guy, blame me.

(03:36):
So he took the blame. Steve Kerr says Team USA's
victory by one point is on him, is what he said.
He said, I didn't do a great job preparing our team.
We did not focus enough and of what they're capable of.
And that's on me. Is that how you see it?
That quote from Steve Kerr. So I've got Typhoon Lagoon,

(03:58):
Kangaroo Court, a and temp agency, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make the Malard Palooza. The big Talent Show's coming up
our variety show a week from today, So get in
early if you'd like to participate in that. Now, the
first thought though, as far as Steve Kerr's quote, this

(04:20):
is a boiler plate response by a coach. It's a
nice gesture. It's also an empty gesture. It is Steve Kerr.
If you look at the dynamic there, Steve Kerr is
along for the right. He's getting a nice vacation in France,
and it's a working vacation. But he's along for the ride.

(04:41):
He's not the steam engine, he's not the locomotive. Steve
Kerr in this dynamic is the caboose. He's bringing up
the rear. And that rinky dink performance is on the players.
If you want to crown them, you can crown the ass,
but that's on the play. Right, they were over forty

(05:02):
point Usamusa was over forty point favored, and yet they
visited the typhoon lagoon. They floated on the lazy river
of mediocrity. And there's no other way to say it.
It doesn't matter coaching, it's not x's and o's its effort,
it's purely running from the grind, if you will. And

(05:25):
the fact that this game came down to the final
seconds and needed heroics for the Team USA squad to win,
there's no other way to say. It's utter madness, sheer
and utter madness that it came down to that, it's ridiculous.
Rather than roll up your sleeps, get the word and
blow everyone out by gazillion points like the original Dream
Team did back in the day, Lebron's team and Lebron

(05:48):
didn't have bad stats, but the team in general went
on a siesta. The little snooze all right now. Secondly,
speaking of Team USA, Joel Embiide, who plays in Philadelphia
but he's also part of the USA squad, he took
some blame, did a wide ranging interview, and he took
some blame for the seventy six ers being unable to

(06:09):
get even to the Final four like the Clippers got
to a couple of years ago. So how much of
the actual blame is on Joel andb I know he
took the blame, but how much of the blame is
actually on him? So embiide is being the D word diplomatic.
I see, that's the way I say, he's being a diplomat.
He's been hurt often, which is a problem. It is

(06:29):
an issue, although in recent years it hasn't been as
big an issue. He won an MVP a couple of
years back, so's he's had success and he's been healthy,
and yet they still haven't don anything. The bigger problem
and this is my diagnosis here. I went to the
lab and I made my diagnosis is that the Sixers

(06:49):
their problem was the Kangaroo Court. They lost in Kangaroo Court.
The Sixers tanked for years. They went to the very
bottom of the sewer and then dug a hole and
went even deeper, all of it to work around the
lottery and to win first picks. Overall they got Ben

(07:11):
Simmons and Markel Fults back to back years the Sixers did.
And you could say the Ozzie muffedd Ben Simmons, even
Ozzie was and our guys listening to Australia, they all,
this guy's embarrassing. He's embarrassing to the people of Australia.
He went out there was the number one overall pick
in twenty sixteen, right top of the draft, and he

(07:34):
was all right for a couple of years, never great,
couldn't shoot from the outside, and then all of a
sudden he vanished completely, went away like a deformity in
his game. He's still getting paid nine on the sixers anymore.
And Markel Fults was the number one overall pick from
the twenty seventeen draft and he's been nothing special. Last
I checked, he was in Orlando, although I heard he's

(07:55):
not long for there. So Joel NB who does have
soft spots in his game, but yet side by side,
if you're being fair, he's the magnum opus compared to
these other guys. And now Philly is turning to another
flawed player in Paul George by George, who has his
own glitch in key moments. They never seem to learn.

(08:17):
They never seem to learn all right. Final thought, speaking
of PG thirteen's old squad, they showed off over the weekend.
We were away the new Palace in Inglewood, the Clippers
opening up the into It Dome and they had all
the bells and whistles out They've got like the coolest

(08:38):
T shirt cannon in all of North American sport, the
industrial complex of sports. They've got the most urinals. If
you want to urinate, that's the place to go. It's
just amazing. It's like heaven for people to like to
have urination. Just a great arena. So they showed off
their palace and Steve Balmer, he gave an interesting quote

(08:58):
which was sent to me by some Clipper hanks, two
of them. So I wanted to spend a couple of
minutes on this. So Steve Balmer, the richest man in
North America that owns the sports team. Balmber pointed out
that he doesn't really own the Clippers, not because the
NBA dopely calls them governors and their owners. But Balmber
says he didn't own the Clippers. He said somebody once

(09:20):
told him that you never really own a basketball team.
You just take care of it for the fans until
the next person comes along and takes care of it
for them. Essentially, you're just the gatekeeper. You're the person,
the custodian, if you will, says this, Hopefully we have
an asset that the community can value for decades to come.

(09:41):
Close quote. So Steve Balmer, the owner of the Clippers
people's team, says, you never really own a pro sports franchise,
you just take care of it. Your thoughts on that,
so it is a noble thought, I'll start with, that
is a noble thought to say that it's technically not wrong.
Why you're not going to own the team forever. You

(10:02):
don't live forever. But really, what the bigger thought is this.
You look at a team like the job like this,
You'll do a radio show, somebody at some point will
replace me, and there'll be a radio show and they'll
do it. It'll be their show, and then somebody after them,
and it's a life is a temp agency. That's really
the point, right, whether you own a sports team or
anything in life, everything is temporary, everything, right, The only

(10:25):
thing permitting is that everything is temporary. That's it. And
regardless now some perspective, owning a professional sports team, the
closest comparison the comp if you if you look at
like real estate for a comp the comp would be
like buying a rare painting, right, getting your hands on

(10:45):
a on a painting that has tremendous value, and you
know it's like wow, it's a status symbol. It's a picasso, right,
It's it's a status symbol. It's a toy for the
the oligarch, the robber baron, and you can't take it
within And while having the team is cool, making money

(11:06):
hand over fist is also pretty cool. But it's not
like you're trying to keep prices down. To me, if
you were to own a team and you wanted to
make sure the community could enjoy it, you'd make sure
to keep the prices down. You wouldn't gouge people at
the stack bar, you wouldn't overcharge for the tickets. But
it's not like anybody in professional sports is operating like Costco.
We talked about this earlier. They have the dollar fifty

(11:27):
hot dog and drink and it's been a dollar fifty
since they started it, and it's continued to be. It's
a lost leader for them, but they get people in
and people buy it, and then they buy other stuff
that costs a lot of money and they make more money.
And the same with those rotisserie chickens at Costco. But
people in sports don't operate that way. They're like, well,
we're gonna keep the prices down. We want to make
sure the community can enjoy this. That's not how they

(11:48):
do things. No, they go into your wallet and every
chance they can get It is the Ban Malor Show.
If you would like to be part of this. If
you'd like to be part of the show, you can
join us here speak easy rules are in effect. We're
also available on x at Ben Maul The mal of
Palooza coming up in a week and then the following

(12:09):
weekend after that we will have well it's gonna be
big Malard Meet and Greet Lost Vegas. If you have
not made plans yet, there is still time. We're gonna
show up there at the steakout right. We're gonna bet
the steakout is that correct that it would be the
Steak Vegas Baby right near the right near unlv our
buddy Slug is the hostess with the Moses. He's putting

(12:31):
this thing together. We're gonna show up there. They This
is the first one we've done where you can gamble
and and just have a fine time. You can gam
now that the Minnesota meet and greet we did a
couple of years ago at the Mermaid. They did have
a bowling alley which was kind of cool and they
had a bar, which was great and stuff like that.
But this is like you can gamble, lose your money
or maybe win money. Wouldn't be great if somebody want

(12:53):
like a million bucks? That would Can somebody please win
like a million dollars at one of the machines they
have at the steakout? That'd be really great publicity for
the show. That would be amazing publicity. Coop, can you
be that guy? That would be wonderful. We'll get promotion
to be wonderful.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
I feel like the probably they probably don't have a
jackpot that big.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
No, are aren't all the machines like I thought they
were all tied at those little bars and whatnot. I thought,
I don't know, Maybe I'm wrong on I don't know,
because if you have like a small restaurant, how can
you really have any large jackpot. You would never have
a large jackpot, right it.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Would I imagine it would be like progressive, right, you
started a certain amount and well.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
I know that, but is regulated by the Nevada Gaming Commission, right,
so don't Maybe maybe you're right. I don't know. Now
now I'm not kind of interested in this. I'm going
to do some research. Well because I remember at the airport.
Mark Davis won a bunch of money at the airport
one time. People have won big jackpots at the airport
in Vegas on their way out of town. So we'll see.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelsey recently went on a wild

Malor riddle of the day. That is the question. What
is the answer? Art Puffin says he went hunting for

(17:27):
the elusive Lizasaurus Rex upon Taylor's request, who else we have?
Page down? Mallard prop guy, He's not a P one,
he's a P two, So I don't know what his
P one is, he says, promoted by Alf. Travis and
Taylor went on supermarket sweep in hopes of winning some money,

(17:49):
money for a third wheel, hunting moon for Brian and
Ferd Dog be a lot of fun. Who else we have? Donkey,
Sausage and Parts Unknown says they went chasing the dream.
That that's the answer. I forty in says they went
wild the Tracy Lord's movie marathon. Now that's what you

(18:09):
do I forty and not what they do. Ferg Dog
in the OC says a wild goose chase, which is
also my phrase of the Week nominee. All right, well
you have to send that in off to work on that.
I'm not worried about next week's podcast. I'm worried about
today's show. You do the show today. You have to
do the show today. Alf the Alien Opiner says that

(18:32):
he went on a wild coffee run for Taylor after
she spent the weekend listening to conspiracy podcasts. That's about right.
Who else do you have? Page down? Page down? Justin
in Cincinnati is sending out bad juju on the Malard
Meet and greet there in Vegas. Thank you for that, Justin,

(18:53):
much appreciated. The King, Roy says, search for the Fountain
of Youth is the answer. Jt the Wingman says, Travis
Kelsey went on a wild trip to the test track
at tire raq dot com and Indiana. I've heard crazy
things about that. We met with the tire rack people
a while back, and there's a guy that works there.
I forget the guy's name. He said that they know

(19:15):
the brand of tires based on the smell. Like how
masculine is that you can go into a store and
just on this, like sniffing the tire, you know, like
that's Yokohama.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Now that is a skill. Right, Oh my gosh, where
America's got talent.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
That's a skill. That's a tremendous talent. They know based
on the wold. Yeah, all right, Uh, I can't close
the deal, Meal says Travis. And Taylor went on a
wild vacation to Hawaii beer binge with brother Jason from
mad Jack. Douglas says, wild goose Chase as well. Who else?
We have Paige down page? All right, Eddie, do you

(19:51):
have an answer ready?

Speaker 7 (19:52):
Do you? Yeah? They went on a wild water adventure.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Wild Is it a wild water? Is it a water slide?
Now it turns out Travis Kelsey reportedly went on a
wild shopping spree at Taylor Swift in Italy. They were
in Italy. How do I know this? The Sun The
tabloid reported that Kelsey spent nearly seventy five thousand dollars

(20:19):
on fourteen high end on seventy five grad on fourteen items.
The items included, Yeah, isn't she the one that wears
the pants in the relationship. I mean, she's the one
that's got all the money. Kelsey's got foot I don't
understand what are you going to take her to buy exactly?

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Doesn't she she wants?

Speaker 1 (20:37):
And Plus, isn't it like those like the princes or
whatever from the Middle East, where like they bring the
high end stores come to them, right, they don't have
to go like late, right, they don't anyway, it says
the tabloid said he bought dresses, shoes, and other accessories
for Taylor Swift, including a three thousand dollars bag, a

(20:58):
nine thousand dollars sleepless dress, nine grand for a dress,
a four thousand, four hundred dollars mini dress.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Wow, you know I bought a shirt this weekend that
costed me one hundred and eighty before taxes, and I
thought that was ridiculous, right, could you imagine?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
No, I can't. I don't. I don't want any part
of that. I spent a lot on I go. I'm
very I'm a tight one. You know that. I hate
spend a lot of money. When I go out and
my cousin's in here. You can think when we go
out to eat, like and there's the bill, I don't
even look at the bill because I know how much
the food costs. I don't want to eat.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
I never look at it, right, I just hand the car.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, I just here we go. That's it. I don't
want to know. I don't know how much money wasting.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
I feel like that's a that's amateur tight wandism, though,
because shot fire. Well, listen, a lot of the times
they charge you incorrectly, you got to you gotta check that.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
I make sure I let my wife do it.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
I don't want to play oh okay, well as long
as somebody's doing it, because I plenty of times I've
looked down and meet charges for stuff I didn't order.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
I've self taught myself. I've taught myself how to cook,
so I can, like, I feel like I can make
pretty much anything of ripoff knockoff versions much cheaper and better, so.

Speaker 9 (22:13):
There's no need for well, you know what, you can't
get a home, Ben, what's that Hooters? I went to
Hooters tonight, Ben, he did, and I did not look
at my check, okay, because I was afraid to see
what it was going to be.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
It wasn't.

Speaker 9 (22:36):
I think it was a little overpriced, Okay. I got
a beer, okay, six wings and some curly fries.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
No, let's take it. Let's take a guess. I've not
been to Hooter. I used to go to the one
that there was one in Santa Monica. I used to
go to this close now it's not there anymore.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
And I did the original breaded crispy ones.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Six you said, six piece fries, curly.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
And a beer. I'm gonna go a man size one,
by the way, not a Hooter girl.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
So I'm gonna go thirty five dollars eddie.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
Okay, let's see, I'll say twenty five.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
All right, Coop, you're not you're doing the mask for
a side.

Speaker 7 (23:17):
It's not that big of a deal.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Just pick a number, hurry twenty nine, all right, and
reveal answer.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Coop is the winner. It was thirty two.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I was close, you were you at split between me
and he.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Was down below, and then Coop was yeah, yeah, but
I just it scared me. I was like, why it
seems like a lot.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
I know. I can't believe how expissive fast food is.
That blows me. I used to go that, that's what.
If I lived my lifestyle the way I am back
in my old days, my big eating disk, I wouldn't have.
I'm able to afford it.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
I'm broke, Ben No, but i I'll let you was eat.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
You used to go to fast food, It didn't matter.
You can eat whatever you wanted, as much as you wanted.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
It's like you kneel at Chick fil a is like
twenty bucks now.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
So same? Hell's going on with that?

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 8 (24:07):
Xander Shifley won the one hundred and fifty second Open
Championship by two strokes. He's now won two majors both
this year, and it becomes just the sixth player to
win both.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
He remember the Championship Championshire last week. Colin Montgomery like
Tiger should retire. People got very upset with Colin Montomery. Yeah,
it's right. I mean in terms of like, I don't
know tigering play as long as he wants. He's a lot,
but he's commentary criticizing Tiger. And then Tiger went out
and wrote the vomit comment in the Open. So I

(24:37):
called the British Open. You just called the Open.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Why I'm under orders to call it that, but or
else I would call it the British Open.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
Hog and the corporate machine. I mean, that's why I've
been here for twenty something years. I guess I follow orders, but.
