Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our number one of the
original Recipe podcast. Happy Wednesday. It's hump Day today, but
you already knew that, So here's the rub in our one.
Paul George by George says playing for the Clippers felt
like the B team compared to the Lakers. How did

(00:21):
this statement sound to you? Also, George, Paul George says
he wants to be a late game performer to take
the pressure off his new teammates both Joel Embiid and
Tyrese Maxi Do you see that one happening? And Lebron
James on a candid microphone says it was effing good
that Team USA faced all kinds of adversity against the

(00:43):
Germans in an exhibition game? Is that how you see it?
On that one? As well? We'll go there and a
whole lot more right now here, it is our number one,
a better talker than a player. Well come, in the

(01:04):
beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show, we
are in the air everywhere homeboys with big boots to
fill coast to coast, border the border in beyond, on
the vast and massively powerful microphones of fsre emmating live

(01:26):
from under the light. As the on air light flickers,
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrack

free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stars. Tyer rack dot com. The way tire

(01:48):
mind should be. Rod the ambassador of Vegas Field. Over
the years, I think he's brought down like ten thousand ribs,
a lot of ribs over the years, even brought down
a frame that we had to kick out because he
was a little on the spectrum. But our lead this hour,
playing the hand, small man play this, And I did

(02:09):
not wake up anticipating that we were going to go
to the Delaware Valley and not talk about football or baseball.
But that's where we find ourselves. The seventy six ers,
I'm told that's a basketball team, not a good one.
The seventy six ers have rolled out the red carpet.
He saw any of this or not. They welcomed basketball
hobo Paul George. By George, they welcomed him in and

(02:35):
so Paul George there, he was welcomed, the heroes welcome.
I say that at least the media and he joins.
Now the well traveled PG thirteen, his fourth team, his
fourth different team. Now, as he said hi to Philadelphia,
he tossed a haymaker at one of his former teams.

(02:59):
He did Austin, Hey, mack. Uh and so my phone
was blown. I woke up and just shoot this. And
everyone that sent me this story, every single person that
sent me this, and there were multiple people, all had
one thing in common. Right, they're there. They were supporters
of a pathetic, disgraceful, embarrassing franchise. And so they were

(03:21):
getting joy out of this. Uh. And so if you
didn't hear it, perhaps not Paul George, we have the other. Well,
rather than me tell you what he said, here's Paul
George in his own words. Paul George. Here he is
listening back to La.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
He was home when I first came back to LA.
But it ain't it's not the same love. Because when
I was in La, they like, man, you should have
been a Laker. I here it wasn't no like, oh,
welcome to the cliffer.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
We happy you had in LA, but you should have
been a Laker. I'm on the bets.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's how, that's how the vibe and the love felt.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, uh was you heard right there? And and maybe
I should say what you smelled right there? Bull crap,
Absolute bull crap, right, absolute bullcrap. So let us discuss
the question. Paul George just already said he said the
Clippers felt like the B team compared to the Lakers
in LA. And so the question is, how did that

(04:18):
statement sound to you? Well, I already mentioned it sounded
like bull crap. But I've got History, Channel, Xbox and hikup,
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to make a billboard lawyer, which there's
a lot of those around here. Every city I go to,
there's a lot of billboard lawyers. They must get a
lot of calls, a lot of calls. Right, pay me,

(04:40):
show me the money. So a Paul George taking a
shot at the Clippers was predictable. I didn't have on
my Bengo card he was going to say the B team,
which is what he did. But Paul George, to me,
sounds like he's suffering from psychosis. And I get it.
I understand if I was Paul George, I would be

(05:02):
hurt also, right, he's gone from podcast p to pandering
p and he's pandering, is what he's doing here, sucking
up to the Philly fans. Well, because the full SoundBite
there he's I don't know b team and we were
in LA, but now in Philadelphia, everyone's going to appreciate
me and all this stuff bull crap, absolute bull. So
the theory on this is rather simple. That's not that hard.

(05:26):
Paul George is a disgruntled employee now former employee of
the Clippers. All right, he's frustrated. He didn't want to
live in Pennsylvania. Guys from southern California, You think he
wants to live in Pennsylvania, doesn't He doesn't. In fact,
I know he doesn't. Right. The Clippers didn't want him,
They rejected him. They said we don't want you. And

(05:49):
not only that, as it has been passed on to me,
the Clippers told Kawhi Leonard and James Harden and Tylu
that they weren't going to bring back Paul George, and
all of them signed up. So what kind of a
terrible teammate is Paul George?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Right?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Think about that, Kawhi Leonard, who wouldn't even go to
the Clippers unless they got Paul George, Right, so Oklahoma
City got got a gazillion draftis so okay?

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Fine?

Speaker 1 (06:17):
So Kawhi is like, that's my demand. I want to
play with Paul George. He played with Paul George not
much because he got hurt a lot, and then all
of a sudden, s like a you know, I'm good.
Let him go to Philadelphia and choke on a cheese steak.
Get him out of here.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Right?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
What does that say about Paul George? Seriously, what does
it say about him? The biggest start to the Hall
of Famers, Kawhi, Leonard and James ar I don't want
to play with him. I don't want to play with them.
They're like, we'll find with them leaving, we'll stay. We
don't care if he leaves. He's not that good. The
B team passed on him, all right. Furthermore, I'd like
to turn now to Exhibit A, which is the history channel.

(06:52):
Let's go to the history channel here now. Paul George
is using what we like to call revisionist history. Is
what he's using. Okay, he chose remember, let's go back
a few years ago in the hot tub time machine.
If I'm not mistaken, Paul George chose to re sign
with OKAC and at that point he turned down the

(07:13):
chance to play for the historians the Lakers. Right, he
had the chance, right, he chose to go and stay
in the dust Bowl. And not only that, Paul George
was welcomed. The dopey small town mayor of Oklahoma City
tell me you're not a big league city. Without telling
me you're not a big league city. They had a

(07:34):
Paul George Day, a ceremonial Paul George Day in Oklahoma City.
And then a year later he wanted out. He demanded
a trade to the Clippers. Right, so the guy, the
guy from southern California, had a chance to go to
the Lakers, he chose to not go there and chose
to go to the Clippers. And now because they didn't

(07:55):
want him anymore, they're the b team with the richest
owner in North American sport. The greatest arena of the
taj Have you seen this arena? The taj Mah has
to be packed every night with Clipper fans, and the
Lakers play on skid row. They literally skid row is
where the arena is now. It's during covid skid row spread.
It's now all over there and so good luck to

(08:17):
Paul George. Right, he's a basketball mercenary the Clippers sitting.
Oh so now he's gonna have to uproot his entire family.
You talk about screwing over your kids. Twenty seven hundred
miles away from where he's from, and he did it.
He went for the bag. He got the bag of money,
couldn't get it from the Clippers, and so he's gone
all right now. Speaking of that news conference, Paul George
also says he wants to be the late game performer.

(08:40):
He wants to take the pressure off both Joel Embiid
and Tyrese Maxi in Philadelphia. Do you see that happening? Now?
This is one of those ridiculous questions, Right, you see
it happen? Do I see it happen? I wouldn't happen there.
It didn't happen anywhere. He had a few good games,
a few good moment it's in Indiana, few of them.

(09:02):
But he's played for multiple teams since then. He's much
older now and he has been poo, not pooh, Richardson,
he's been poo. The only way that happens for Paul
George and Philadelphia is you dust off the xbox and
you play NBA two K. That's it, right, Zebras, do
not change the stripes and all that. Paul George is

(09:24):
an injury prone player who's now long in the tooth.
That's why the Clippers don't want him anymore. He's a
falling star. Don't let a falling star on you. Follow
you in Philadelphia. They'll learn this. And I can't wait.
I got a bucket of popcorn, wait with my name
on at the watch when Paul George continues to erode,
and the fans in Philadelphia, oh yeah, oh yeah, that'll

(09:46):
go well, right, that'll go well. As a distant relative
of Nostre Damas and occasional friend of Nostradinas, although not
his wife, who's a vegan, Philadelphia will be Dante's in Ferno,
or in this case PG Thirteen's Inferno. He's now in
his mid thirties. Now you look at the math on this,

(10:07):
the production, the efficiency between the regular season and the postseason.
There's a dramatic free fall, dramatic drop between those things.
And then when PG thirteen leaves the seventy six ers
and he's not gonna be there more than a couple years,
he'll leave the seventy six ers and when that happens,
he will then trash Philadelphia. He was Wow, they really

(10:29):
didn't really appreciate the Sixers. They like the Eagles more
the Phillies or the Flyers or whatever. All right, last word,
we go to Peri to basketball. Now, the Olympics haven't
even started yet, and people still freaking out basketball. People
are freaking out what's going on with Team USA. They're winning,
but they're not winning by enough. And there is a

(10:49):
pretty good indicator in terms of how you're performing. Are
you living up to expectations? And that is the gambling market.
Are you living up to the point sprint? Are you
covering the line? The Team USA squad is not. They
have not been, and they've played some nail biders. Now
I bring this up because that is where Lebron enters

(11:09):
the chat. Lebron James was caught on a hot mic
during the Team USA win against Germany saying it was
efing good. It was effing good. The Team USA faced
all kinds of adversity nearly lost to the Germans. Is
that how you see it? Yeah? On this one, I'm
gonna shake my head. No, I saw the clip. But

(11:33):
Lebron I get what he's he's given like a he
knew he was on camera and people change. I'm on
camera right now. I'm changing things here. I'm in radio,
but I have a camera in from But here's the
thing Lebron James was giving, as a Victor Brick would say,
my former colleague back in that he was giving a
high coup. It was iku. It was a pep talk.

(11:53):
It was eyewash, is what it was. The Komodo dragon
in the room. I'm gonna go there. You're not supposed
to go. I'll go there, Kmodo dragon room. The United
States basketball team is an embarrassment. So far. They're winning,
but they're not winning impressively. And you're not supposed to
face adversity, all right, You're not. You're filled with NBA

(12:13):
legends and you're facing adversity. It's like, oh those other
NBA player, Yes, sir, they're not as good as Team USA.
And it was supposed to be calm, poopy waters around
Paris and instead Team USA. The basketball team, so far,
they haven't gotten the actual Olympics Olympics, but these exhibition
games leading into it, they've been swimming against the tide

(12:37):
and the feces is backing up in the Seine. It
is a one clunker after another. Now they should still
win even with this. But we have seen in past
Olympics over the years, not that I am an Olympic person,
but i have paid attention to the basketball and I've
seen over the years that when you consistently look choppy,

(12:58):
you open the door or to make a hasty retreat.
And good luck, good luck on that.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
It's Ben Mallor. A fantastic night. I hope you're doing
exceptional as we are kicking things off here with the
commentary of the seventy six ers. Paul George by George
laid it all out for you in the opening Mallet monologue.
Is the Coper doesn't want him? They said we don't

(15:46):
want you. I would feel the same way if I
was Paul George. He he chose to come to the Clippers.
He didn't want He could have played for the Lakers.
He chose to come to the Clippers, and he was
an abject failure in big moments. For the most part,
there were a few good ones, but the most party overall,
to a then diagram, he sucked. And so then he
has to go across the country and move his family.
And so yeah, I understand why he is upset. But

(16:09):
anybody knows basketball, and those are the Clippers run La.
Steve Balmer is the richest owner in all of North
American sports. The newest arena in the NBA is opening up.
It's the Clipper only arena. It's gonna be marvelous. Mark
the full name. Guy's losing his lunch there. He's too
afraid to call in, so he's sending out manifesto. Monologue
was so sad and then wonderful. Your explanation right now
is also so sad.

Speaker 7 (16:30):
Everybody knows the Clippers running the Let me talk about
how much money the owner has and the building that
we play in, as if that means anything to the fans.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
You're not a real fan. Fans go out there, you've
got to take away. Is it a Clipper game? You
got your own toilet right in front of you.

Speaker 7 (16:44):
Can I say, got your own, your own cake, You
have your own toilet right in front of you.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
It's called the court and the team that's the toilet.
I know you're jealous that they should when they can
bring the wrecking ball to that thing they used to
call stapleson. What a dump that is? My god, No,
no time soon. They just they just renovated. It's horrible.
What are you saying. Do you see the new shirt
guns that you're stating there? It is so cool the stadium.
You know what gunstop Lorena, we're talking about sports here.

(17:14):
Back off, the fan experienced Coopolo's shirts toilets and they
have they have cannons, they have T shirt cannons. And
he's trying to constie that they're not the B team.
They're not. Listen, Paul George, you don't want to play
for the Lakers. You wanted to play for the Clippers. Well,
you know what they show is for best Ben that's

(17:37):
rights as good as all the rest. That's right, Yes,
h l rights and says your monologue is right on.
Great news for the Celtics. Take the pressure off Joel
and Tyrese. MAXI not gonna happen. Spots Weed, it's another
big night with spocks Weed contributing says, Paul George is
a malcontent and has a bigger ego than he deserves.

(17:58):
You rightfully called him out for his bull shoy. He said,
I predict the he will not integrate into the Sixers
and a no show if they make the playoffs, so
he says Josh. He writes in he claims the Laker
fans are going to invade the into a dome and

(18:21):
take a thousand dumps. That means there's only gonna be
a thousand fans. That won't be that many right there.
And he said there'll be the Lakers stench. Well, anywhere
the Lakers go there's stench. The franchise has been an embarrassment.
They haven't want anything since Kobe Bryant was around, and
obviously Kobe's not coming back, so they got problems. What
a bust Lebron's been as a Laker. More ranting by

(18:45):
Mark the full name Guy Fat Daddy says, Big Ben,
great monologue. What a big time sniffer that Paul George
never did like that guy. Don't care if he's homegrown
or not. He's a big douche, and he says, Kawhi
Leonard is next Chris the bartender from Dues. He's still
a bartender. He used to be a bartender. I met

(19:06):
him the Minnesota meingrey. He says, I cannot wait for
Ben to tell us how Mobamba is going to be
the reason the Clippers win it all this year. I
will not be doing a Mobamba Mala monologue. I do
like the name though. It's a good name, mo Bamba.
It's a solid name, better name than a player. There's
a lot of guys that have a better name than

(19:27):
their performance. But Mobamba he's been around. I played for
the Lakers unfortunately a couple of years ago. Bad job
by him. But I'm not going to spend any more
time talking about that guy because he until he averages
like five points a game. Chip in the ques right,
since says, hey plus and the Mala monologue riddle, what
do you call these swimmers who are willing to swim

(19:48):
in the poopy French river? You call them insane? Is
what you call them? He said, He I don't get
it a week in Minnesota. We've met him as well.
He says, my first monologue in a month or so.
Where you've been? Where have you been Arica? This is
great start to the show. I remember a few years
ago when Paul George signed with the Clippers. He never

(20:12):
signed with the Clippers. Of the Clippers traded for him,
and that was the price to get Kawhi Leonard. And
of course you would make that I'd still make that
track even though Paul George was a bust and Kawhi
Land has been hurt. You've got to make those moves.
You have to make those moves. Ferg Dog says, as
a proud Clipper fan, have you burned all of your
Paul George jerseys? Yet? I did screw that bump? He said, no,

(20:37):
I never had any of that. Jason in Cansas City
says nine out of ten in the Mallon monologue playoff,
t misspoke. He meant to say that both LA teams
are B teams. Now he is with the similar underachieving
seventy six is good luck to him. So he says,
I'll take some calls here. It is a call and show.
We'll say hello to let's see. I'd reached at the phones.

(21:01):
I came in here. The phones were not working again.
But do I get extra pay, like engineering pay that
I had to read. I had to unplug this thing,
the phone thing here. I unplug it and I took
a chance it would plug back, and it did, and
now everything's fine. And that means I can punch up
the calls, which is good news or bad news, depending
on what you think of Red Breast Paul. I believe

(21:21):
this is red breast Paul in Rhode Island. Hello, there,
he is right there, Paul. Everyone's grandpa, everybody. I got
a month old, a monthly child. Unbelievable, not his kid, grandchild.

Speaker 8 (21:40):

back and there was a team offered him a job
and he said no. It was a West Coast team,
but he said no. Yeah.

the West Coast. I know Jerry's got the money. I

in that week. Man, you know you're popular boy can't get.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
In at something apologically, I'll try to do a bad
I'll try to do a bad show so nobody calls. Okay,
that's my goal. I'll try to suck. That is my name, Michael,
Oh really okay?

Speaker 3 (31:18):
All right, well yeah, that's my first name.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Well, Big daddy's you sound you do sound like? Are you?

Speaker 5 (31:25):

Speaker 1 (31:25):
No, no, no, oh, you're only ones are? But okay,
but you like the on the radio theater of the mind.
You can be as big as you want, right, you
can be as tall as you want exactly, all right,
all right, well, thank you, all right, go ahead, there's
the great Big Daddy checking in. So the gambling market
has odds out on who the vice president is going

(31:47):
to be for the Democratic Party. They need one now
as Biden has stepped aside. The only reason I'm bringing
this up is because a football coach popped up on
the odds. I know that's breathtaking, but let me let
me explain it to you, and it's not that hard.
The name of the football coach? Did you see this? Eddie?
You know which football? Are you gonna ruin this one? Too?

(32:07):
You don't know which football coach. What do you think
as a vice president price presidential not candidate. Now this
is not the nominae, but this is a candidate, accord
to the Gamby market, that would be Nick Saban. Nick
Saban listed it two hundred and fifty to one, same
odds as Oprah Winfrey. Okay to be Yeah, George Clooney

(32:28):
is one hundred to one. There's a bunch of other people.
I don't even know who these people are to be
the one hundred to one George Clooney hundred to one.

Speaker 7 (32:35):
I feel like the odds should be like Nick lower, Yeah,
you should get like a thousand to one two.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
But he just cuts she just cuts checks. He doesn't
I don't think he really wants to do anything other
than that, right, He just raises money for them and
then that's it. I don't think he wants to actually
be there in like the White you know, not the
White Hospital.

Speaker 7 (32:54):
That's what That's what I'm saying. There's no chance that
George Clooney is the vice president. You should be getting
way better than one hundred to one.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, but this is a great trick. And I've talked
to some of the book makers over the years. It's
a wonderful trick and I fall. I just fell for it.
But the sports books to get attention. You know, if
you just have the regular names, like you know, Pete
Bootajgg and people like that, then nobody pays attention, right,
But if you put a couple of odd ball names
in there, idiots like me fall for that trick every time,
every single time. How bad is Nick Saban going to

(33:23):
be on game day? Oh my god, is he going
to be terrible? Oh? Wow? Is that going to suck? Anyway,
it is the Benett Mahler Show. Time now for the
who am I? Game? And here's the who am I? Game?
I am a Major League Baseball star player who took
a full at bat in a recent game with a
stick of double bubble gum stuck to my helmet. The

(33:46):
actual stick of gum. Again, I'm an MLB star player
who took a full at bat with a stick of
double bubble gum stuck to my helmet. Who am I?

Speaker 1 (36:49):
See that That's how it's done. Eddie, You see that's
how it's done. It's Rafael Devers, the Red Sox in
the game against the Rock as double bubble gum stuck
to the side of his helmet, clearly had no idea,
no idea, and just walked in there and said, hey,

(37:10):
here I am. Look at me now. Now, speaking of
look at me now, how about this one Joe Burrow.
You see Joe Burrow walking into Bengals training camp. I
did be very concerned if I was the Cincinnati Bengals.
Here the guy goes to fashion Week in Paris, and
where's that funky outfit? Now he shows up looking like
eminem to Bengals training camp. These are not good signs

(37:33):
for the Bengals, right. This is the sign that Joe
Burrow is buying into the hype. Right, he's becoming I
didn't know you could become Hollywood when you play in Cincinnati.
I remember Chad Johnson, Chad o Jo Sinko was he
was a little out there, but doesn't it not appear?
And I'm a big Joe Burrow fan. I support Joe Burrow.

(37:54):
He's the second greatest quarterback in the NFL right now,
behind Patty Mahomes. Joe Burrow's number two. Nevertheless, I'd be concerned.
Is something to keep an eye on. How you file
this away? You got the whole fashion Week thing and
now you got this. It's like, what are you doing?
What is going on with this? You lose a bet?
Is that what happened here? You say you gotta show up,

(38:15):
you gotta walk in like your eminem Is that what happened?
I'm an idiot. All of a sudden you become a
fashion easta No shame on you. We'll see. The Bengals
are one of those teams to go either way, right
There's a lot of teams like that in the NFL.
Bengals could win twelve games and they could also win
like eight and bro gets hurt again. Who knows. We'll
find out.
