Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding Dong.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Here it is our numb ber too, our number two.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's the hour of Wemby. At least at the start.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Are we getting the whole story on Wemby's blood clots
heard around the world, his situation with the Spurs, and
what does this mean for Victor Wimbanyama's future.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The Spurs are very optimistic. They think everything's gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
And I remember when Chris Bosh had this happen, people
were optimistic he'll be back, and he never really was
the same. Also, did the Lakers have alternative motives invoiding
the Mark Williams trade with the Hornets? We will discuss
that as well, and who knows what else? Right now
here it is our number two and another one out
(00:48):
out out.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
That's all that happens in this sport. They're all getting hurt.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere as
we talk continuously, and we keep on talking all night long,
coast to coast, border to mood and beyond. On the
(01:17):
mast and flavorfully powerful microphones of fs are am monating
live from the eye the eye of the audio hurricane.
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrackt
dot com will help you get there an unmatched selection,
(01:38):
fast tree shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended in stars tyract dot com the way tire
buying should be. I know random Ryan in Carolina loves
the number ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So our lead this.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Hour is from the Injury Tent and pro Bouncy. But
we'll get back to the hockey stuff later. I did
do a top of the hour Mallon monologue, the rare
and appropriate hockey monologue. As Connor McDavid spoiled the party.
Everyone was all dressed up, ready to celebrate, and it's
kind of like a presidential election and you're at the
(02:13):
headquarters of the candidate and you think they're going to win,
and then they don't win, and so it's that awkward thing.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's that awkward thing. But again went to overtime.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Connor McDavid wo wins at Canada, wins the Four Nations,
but are they? This hour is from the Alamo. That
didn't turn out too well either in the Alamo. So
if you haven't heard this basketball story, I assume you
know by now, but maybe not. The man that has
been anointed the face of the NBA, even though he's
not quite face of the NBA yet.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Team blows and they're gonna suck some more.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The San Antonio Spurs have lost star player Victor Wembanyama
for the rest of the season. Turnout the last the
parties over he's doing. Now, this is not your standard
NBA injury. No, no, this is like next level what
(03:07):
happened here? As we are told that Wembanyama, who we
last saw cheating in the All Star weekend, is out
because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
What does that mean? In layman's terms, it.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Means the Parisian prodigy has a blood clot which was
discovered after Wembanyama attempted to cheat and skills competition didn't
get away with it the NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Now, the condition.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Is supposedly the way you treated with blood thinners. And
as I've learned over the years from athletes that have
had similar situations, if you are on blood thinners, you're
not allowed to participate in contact sports because.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
If you start bleeding, you are screwed.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So when you're on the blood thinners, now the Spurs
are very optimistic.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
They think this is nothing.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
They're like, Oh, when Banyama will recover, he'll be ready
to go for next season. They're not worried about any
kind of long term health ramifications.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
The acting coach.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Of the Spurs, a guy named Mitch Johnson, whoever that is,
said that the medical staff there in San Antonio said
that the Parisian prodigy long term outlook is not impacted
at all by what they just called the setback. Okay,
so let us discuss are we getting the whole story
(04:37):
on Wemby's situation with the Spurs? Are we getting the
full story here with what's going on with Wemby? So
I've got music, factory, creepy pasta, and wool socks, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
(05:00):
are going to kick some tail, is what we're going
to do. So na burn I said, nam.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We're getting a version.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Of the truth from the San Antonio Spurs. I do
not believe we're getting the whole truth. Definitely, nothing but
the truth. It feels a little bit like the classic
scene from an old movie in Hollywood called the Naked Gun.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Nothing to see here, Please disperse? Are you sure that
everything's sunshine, rainbows and lollipops. The man that is the
franchise has blood clots. Like I get that being optimistic
is nice, and you're supposed to be optimistic. However, we
know that every situation is different, and Wemby has already
(05:47):
been propped up.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
He's been put on.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
A pedestal on a dog Food Spurs team as the
future of the NBA, the heir to the throne and
all that E's gonna genuflect to Wemby for years to come.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But he's got blood clots.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
This is a condition that is most common among those
over the age of sixty. And if you look at
the factors, and I did a minutes long mallor investigation here,
it's a condition that generally.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Happens we get older.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And among the factors that increase your risk are let's
check these here, obesity, pregnancy, having a surgery, blood clotting disorders,
and a lot of sitting around not being active at all.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
So this is where you cue the CNC Music Factory.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
There things that make you go hmm, things that make
you go So, unless I checked, Wemby isn't fat. We
don't think he's pregnant, although maybe he needs a test,
and I don't believe there's any kind of recent surgery.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
So what are you gonna do? All right now? Page two.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So the Spurs think everything's wonderful, rainbow lollipops, all that,
But what does this mean for Victor Wimbanyama in the future.
This our perspective, So I would say, unlike the optimism,
this is TBD TBD. It's a case by case basis.
Brandon ingram is I believe in Toronto now. But he
(07:19):
had this happen. I think it was with the Lakers
when it happened and he was able to come back.
Chris Bosh his career was absolutely derailed because of the
blood clots and the blood thinners and underlying conditions that
they didn't know about, and then they knew about it
and all that. So again, based on a couple of
clicks here and there, everyone I know is different, right,
(07:41):
You're different than me, even though we're all kind of
the same crap. You know the same space does Everyone's
wired different? And so deep vein thrombosis can be deadly,
can actually be deadly. A blood clot goes to your lungs,
or your heart and its lights out. We lost one
of my colleagues at Fox Sports Radio who had blood
(08:01):
clots and it led to a heart attack and unfortunately
crossed over the pearly gates, and so it can be
a deadly thing. It's a very serious thing. And we
don't know everything. I don't even spurs know everything. How
could they possibly know everything. I'm just trying to be
optimistic and speak that into the reality here. But you
(08:22):
don't know if there's some other underlying situation that could
affect him long term. And you cannot predict what's gonna
happen with a case like this based on the fact
everyone's different. And it's not like a broken leg. You
know everyone you break, You break your leg, you kind
of know what to do with You got that pretty
down pat You break.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Your hand, they know how to handle it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But when by Yama, you look at him from Afar
and it's like creepy pasta the internet meme there, Slenderman
Wenby is needle thin, he's unnaturally tall, and I think
he's a humanoid.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
He might be a lizard person. Now, meanwhile, there's a
lot of that.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Is going to change hands because of this, because had
Wemby continued to play, he would have been would have
been the Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
He is not going to qualify.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He's not going to get to sixty five games required
for that to happen, So he's not going to be
the Defensive Player of the Year, and that means that
money will be shifting around the NBA, either to Memphis
or to Cleveland most likely.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You know what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
So Jaren Jackson, junior of the grizz and he is
he's in the running right now to get that trophy
Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
He would become eligible to.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Sign a three hundred and forty five million dollars Supermax
contract based on winning that award this year.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And then Evan Mobley, who.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Is on I believe he's on the rookie extension with
Cleveland he signed last offseason. That would go from two
hundred and twenty four million to two hundred and sixty
nine million.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So if you do the math on.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That, that's a lot, right, that's over forty five million
dollars more because Wemby got blood clots, So somebody's either
gonna get forty five million extra or three hundred and
forty five million money money, money, money, money, money. All right,
final point drama, O rama, drama, O rama, dateline, North Carolina.
(10:22):
But actually the NBA Road Hornet Center. Mark Williams, the
man that was never a Laker but almost was. Mark Williams,
does not believe that the trade that was vetoed to
the Lakers should have been voided.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Based on his physical condition.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
He said, quote, I don't think it was solely because
of my physical now. Williams also posted a collage a
collage of photos on the social with the caption There's
always peace when you know the truth.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You also had the agent Slightly, the agent.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
For the Hornet Center, who issued a statement disputing disputing
the Lakers decision to fail the physical leading to the
trade that was rescinded a couple weeks back. All right,
So question did the Lakers have ulterior motives invoiding the
Mark Williams trade with the Lakers?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
So I'm nodding my head. Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I don't know how you can answer it any other way.
And obviously Williams is biased, the agent is biased. Everyone's
got their own skin in the game in this. I
don't but the implication by Williams is there's other stuff
going on, and I'm going yes, And really what's needed
here is wolf socks because the Lakers got cold feet.
(11:45):
When you get cold feet, you need wolf socks to
warm you up. They were worried about Williams going snap,
crackle pop. That is part of it, but they were
also worried that they were giving way too much up
for a guy who's damaged.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Goods and that will would liked to have had him.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
They're like, oh, we can't really give all this stuff
up because we got anet other stuff. And then so
they cooked up some kind of PaperWorks in that food.
And as I have learned over my years on this
planet doing marginal overnight sports talk radio, in the big
business of professional sports, the industrial complex of professional sports
(12:21):
in North America, if you want a player that has
some issues, shall we say, with their body, you got
to go shopping. It's called doctor shopping. You get the
guy that finished last in medical school. And if you
have to, you go to another country and you find
some doctor that got his medical degree on a website
(12:43):
and you have that doctor signed the hippocratic oath that
your player is ready to go.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And all of a sudden they passed the physical now
vs V.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
If you don't want a player, it's very easy to
find a red flag and veto a trade and say, wow,
we don't know about that precede that direction.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
So again it comes down to what your agenda is.
What is your agenda? This isn't the Lakers. They made
the trade.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
At the time they made the Trailery're like, oh, man,
even though this guy gets hurt all the time, this
Mark Williams guy, he's perfect. I mean, you told me
we had a guy call up. Who's I think he
was a Hornets fan. Oh, this is this guy's gonna dominate.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Mark Williams is so good.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
By the time we got done with that phone call,
I thought that the Lakers had acquired Jokic from the Nuggets,
that Williams was that good, and then they veto the trade.
So something else going on there. Did Lebron make a
phone call? Did Lebron say, wait a minute, you can't
do this. Well, sorry, Lebron, it's Luca's team. Now we
can do whatever we want. We'll keep an eye on that.
(13:46):
That story is not done. That story is not done
by a long shot. There will be more on that story.
I will guarantee that the dirt's gonna come out. I
can also guarantee you that the stories will come out
about Lua being depressed and overeating when he got to
the Lakers. I envisioned that I was flipping around after
the hockey game and I turned on the Lakers were
(14:08):
playing Portland and Luca now they were up.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
They were wearing the road unifors. Luca didn't play in
the game.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You know, when you're in your mid twenties, you can't
be expected to play back to back games. So Luca
sat out out of an abundance of caution. And he
even looked fat in his street clothes, but he looks
fatter when he wears that yellow Home Laker uniform.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's not good. It's not good.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It is the Ben Maler Show, which we hope is good.
If you'd like to be part, you can join us
right now. We'll open up the lines for this hour,
hour two, a big hour with Mallard of the Third
Degree coming up a little bit later on eight seven,

you in the court of sports talk radio. So remember
that when you send your he lines in that whatever
you say may be read on the air. So buckle
up for that. Now straight ahead. It is very rare
that one of the most famous athletes in North American
(15:18):
and I don't think I'm exaggerating this just randomly admits
that they tested positive for cocaine, one of the most
beloved athletes.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And this is not some guy.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Back in the eighties, everyone was snorting coke, all right,
I say that metaphorically obviously, but a lot of the
star athletes were doing the coke back in the eighties.
But it's that's forty years ago. And this is a
guy that was not even around in the in the
eighties as a professional athlete. But as admitted, they failed
a they tested positive for cocaine. We've got the audio
(15:52):

that man. We will do it.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Night drug tester says, blood clots sound pretty far fetched.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I think the.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Spurs are in the tank for Cooper flag mode. Or
if the blood clots are real, then Wemby got them
from load management. Right, there's a late night drug tester
checking in. Well, it is the formula the Spurs used.
They had a player named David Robinson, the Admiral as
he was nicknamed, who was a very good player, and
(18:22):
then he had this back injury and he couldn't play,
and then all of a sudden, the Spurs ended up
winning the draft lottery and they got this guy named
Tim Duncan, and then they dominated the NBA for a
number of years.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
They did.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, let's see Jeremy in Minnesota says welcome back. Anthony
Antman Edwards to being the face of the NBA. Yeah,
he just said the other.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Day he's not the face of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Surprise, surprise, Yeah, Shane in de Moin rites In says Ben.
The Dodgers versus Cubs and the new ABS moved the
needle for me like a phone call from Gunner A
plus plus on the opening monologue. Now that was entertained. Well,
(19:06):
I'm glad you approved Shane and des Moines. And our
friend Kelly used to be Donut Kelly, now des Moines Kelly.
So we appreciate that. And I did watch a little
of a Dodger Cup game.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Check that out for a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And the guy that the Dodgers signed to a minor
league contract, the guy that looked like a child of
like Willie Mays, Pete Rose, Tony Gwinn, they hit a
home run. The Dodgers lost that game, and I think
there are season's over I think Dave Roberts should be fired.
They lost the Cactus League game to the Cubs. Clearly
this team is overrated. They're full of themselves, They're they're
(19:41):
not taking these games seriously. They're lack of daisical the Dodgers,
and this is just a preview of coming attractions, and
it makes me want to puke in my mouth. It
makes me want to puke in my mouth that the
Dodgers can't go out there and play a complete spring
training game. It's a bad job by them, any meanie,
miney Moe. Let's say hello to Mojo Rising. He's rising
(20:05):
up in the Bay Area. Hello, Mojo Rising.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I love Mojo's Doraina is a twenty Yes and Jery
Fox on the Mojo Rising for the Ben Mallor show.
How you doing, my friend? This is the one and
only Mojo Rising, just like the real Jim Morrison himself.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
The one and only.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Now Lorena actually thought when she first heard your name,
she thought you were for Mojo Potatoes because she loves
Moco potatoes. As she thought, right, who doesn't like Mojo potatoes?
Does anyone not like those potatoes?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Just come on, They're wonderful.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, that's for sure. Hey, So I had to call
in because I agree with the caller earlier about Lorena.
She definitely has one of the most beautiful voices that
you can ever imagine. She's such a kind hearted soul
and scene so, but it was funny last night that
she got She was like a spitfire. I love that
in her when she was defending the basketball players that
(20:57):
she do, and she does have some sports knowledge. We
got to give her some credit. So she's an all
right overall catch.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Anybody, let's not get let's not get carried.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Rna is the girlfriend keeper and the marrying type.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I'm starting to lean towards Kooper Loop on this now. Cooper,
I think we need to have an intervention here. That's
a little much, okay, I mean I feel like I
need to take a shower.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
My god, what are you guys doing?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
That's that's just me the mojo. Rizen has always been
a big flirt man. I come on, who as a
man doesn't love women, beautiful women. Come on, It's the
greatest thing in life, man, besides sports. That's men.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We love sports, besides we love women. Well, some would
put women ahead of that, but I don't know. I'm
an other. You know, I guess that's some people are
into it. But it's all good. I don't know what
do you want me to say? I'm fine, Okay, you
said it? What else?
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Anyway, mister Ben that isn't what I really call that.
I just want to call in and say that I
agree with almost everything you say. I agree about to
take with the guy from the Lakers. They they for
whatever reason, I think they figured out that the connect
kid might be really good and they wanted to keep them.
And the whole thing was like I've seen that on
the sports thing earlier, and I was like, we're in
the heck did this come from out of nowhere? Limby's
(22:06):
got blood clot and he's going to be out for
the rest of the season, Like he just played in
the in the Allstar weekend, right, So it's like, holy mackerel.
So I agree with you on that. And then the
Canada thing, right with hockey and all this kind of stuff.
I'm not the biggest hockey fan of the world. I'm
out here in the area, so I love the Sharks,
but right now they're crappy, so it's hard to like
a winning team. But those people are in Canada, that's
(22:27):
their number one sport and they love hockey. They're dedicated
to hockey. Hey, and you know the United States, Well,
what can you say? It was a great game. I
did watch it most of it, Like you said, I
was kind of like to you, I maybe flipping back
and forth to the basketball, but the games was blowout
selfings were blowing out the sixers and all this kind
of stuff. But overall then you are the greatest. And
(22:50):
the other thing when when they introduce you guys and
they have all this stuff, you're way too far down
on the list. You should be way ahead when they
started announcing all the guys from as one.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Let's can you call Imagery and Coop and make sure
they put me ahead of Cowhard and Dan Patrick and
those idiots. I should be at the very front there.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
All right, thank you? All right, be good. There's the
great Modro rise. We're gonna meet Mojo. We're gonna do
a Bay area.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Meet and greet at some point here at the bar
in Oakland, assuming Alameda Lou comes back to the show.
I know he calls in and he gets depressed and
he stops calling for a while, but assuming Alameda Lou
still has that standing offer, at some point here in
twenty twenty five, usually spring, we start doing Mallard meet
and greets through the summer, and then typically don't do
(23:35):
much during football season. So we've got a few months
to play with to do Mallard meet and greets this year.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So we'll figure that out as we go forward.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But we got an amazing audio here, amazing audio.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Do we have this? Cueuede up? Is this thing ready
to go?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Here?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Cooper loop? Do we have this audio? Good to go?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
It is?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Man?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Lorena says, we do all right.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So this goes back to the nineteen ninety six Olympics
Team USA.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
I remember that one.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, and there was a player by the name of
Shaquille O'Neill who had a big revelation. Randomly, unexpectedly, Shaquille
O'Neal spilled the tea on TNT.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Take a listen.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Olympics ninety sixth Atlanta. They told us not to eat
before you take the drug tests. I take the poppy
seed you know, you remember chugging that you got to
stand alive for three far hours. I see them poppy
seed muffins. I Horace Boma come to the room and
said that I'm disappointing. I tested positive for cocaine, and
I was like, oh, hello, hello, hello. First of all,
(24:42):
the sergry kill me. My mother killed. I've never done
notthing like that. Then they did the research on the
poppy seed muffins had the same derivatives as cocaine. So
that's the only problem I have with Like, you know,
the NBA said, they tell you not to take this,
this and that, but something and that not on the
list can be a derivative of something that you're not
put to take it, and you can messle that.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
One, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Shaquille O'Neal admitting I failed a cocaine test, but it
was because of poppy seed muffins.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So I have a question.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Shaquille O'Neal is one of the five biggest human beings
I've ever been in the room with.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Back when I covered the NBA.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
The biggest people I've ever been around in my life
were Shaquille O'Neal, Yao Ming, George mirrasan minute Bowl although.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
He was skinny, but he looked like it was like
a spider man.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
These are all old NBA players because I'm old, But
Shack one of the biggest people. So how many poppy
seed muffins would Shack have to eat to trigger a
cocaine test?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Seriously, what he's thinking?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
You'd have to have like a whole dozen.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Right, like a box right, like a whole.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
He was a big man. He might eat that many muffins.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I believe him. Though we've all heard the poppy seed
I know.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
But don't you think Shack's the kind of person that
would be like, I don't know if he did it,
he would say it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Oh, oh yeah, I don't think Shack did cocaine. Yeah, no, no,
I don't mean that. But I'm just like the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Well, did you see the other story about Shaq that's
going around? Oh, this is good.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
So Jason Richardson, I gotta see if I can say
this on the air. I don't know if I can
say this, So I'm gonna clean this up for the radio,
because you know, there's a lot of kids listening this
time in the night.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I am in the safe harbor.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You know, I just did my my iHeart training and
I'm in the safe harbor, so I think we're allowed
to talk about this. So Jason Richardson was playing with
Shaquille O'Neil and said Shack at one point took a
teammate's mouthpiece and decided the mouthpiece needed a resting place.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
In his tushy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
He then took a he took a toothbrush, and he
also kind of stirreted around his Badonka donk and according
to Jason Richardson, he he pulls a mouthpiece out of
the tukis he put it in lou Emonton's locker and he.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Then grabbed the toothbrush into the same thing.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
But but the teammate anditson unknowingly used the mouthpiece in
a game. He used the mouthpiece that had been sullied
by Shaquielle's dairy air in a game, and he said
the entire team was dying laughing during the game. He's
got the cleanest ash, I would hope so. But the
(27:23):
then Matt Barnes informed the teammate there that anything in
your locker you should probably throw away because it's been
in Jack's tuckas you think they still do pranks like that.
I know somebody did that to me. I don't want
(27:45):
to punch him, but I know in the old days,
they used to put like the popcorn or the packing
those packing peanuts and cars.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
They'd fill them all the way up.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And I know for a fact because when I was
around those guys back in the day. If you put
those giant bags of buttered popcorn in a car. It
totally destroys the leather interior in the car.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Gosh, as you might have met someone to do that.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
You'd have to use the unbuttered popcorn.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Like that's well, let's just say some of these guys
aren't the brightest guy's cool and they just got massive
amounts of popcorn and they put it in there. And
but even if you I think, even if you use
the unbuttered there's still oil in it, right, so the
oil would probably mess it up anyway. And I don't
care how good a car do you tell her you
are if the entire car is filled.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You get a BMW.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Or Mercedes or something like that and it's filled all
the way up with popcorn, Like, what do you do?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You know, you just rip everything out and put new
stuff in? Is that Is that the move on?
Speaker 8 (28:41):
No?
Speaker 7 (28:41):
I think you go to a drive in movie and
you watch like five in a row and eat.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
All the popcorn?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Is that the move I think that's the only option.
You have to know what I'm saying, Like the cars covered,
it's damage at that point, enjoy the car has been These.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Are expensive automobiles, these cars, I mean, this is not
it's not.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
The insurance would cover that, right, popcorn damage?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh yeah, because insurance companies never fight you on any
claim at all. They never they we greatything about insurance
is when you need it, they really want to give
it to you. And they never try to give you
you know, low ball stuff. You know, they never try
to do that at all. Anyways, go back to the calls,
and uh, you know, everyone needs an expert.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Everyone needs a guy.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
You know, you need a pizza guy, you need a
taco guy, you need a burger guy. And for us,
if we have a question about cocaine, we go to
our drug guy. So the drugs are on the Ben
Malor Show. Is Jed who fled? Hello, Jed who fled?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Oh yeah, very concerning in Florida. I'm getting arrested for
the first time. It's just turns that means you're going.
Of course, I can't say, you know, I know it's
not gonna turn blue because heroin you Neal says that
(29:58):
I can't tell the copy by hey, buddy, terror, I
have to take the totain charge, you know what I'm saying.
And Uncle Sam won't shoes to go quietly into the
night and I did, dude, I did, I did. I was.
I was a school teacher that time, and let me
tell you I was total, wasn't. It's a big time,
big time in high school, the freshman calids take a
period of outside and pe and I coached because I
was out there some agility as to come back in.
(30:19):
My buddy's r O T. C r GT dressed out
his dress, shoes have been pooped in, Man, they're pooped in.
I've never laughed harder. I've never felt bad for a
person boy laughing at right in front of him. And
we coached streating to heads will roll when we find out.
And of course we were not gonna tell a long thing. Well,
we don't want that dollar a kid to give us
a red belly either. Figure the laker, big Santa Claust
(30:41):
is not working with that big difference. Santacaust the rain
and kids want to sell on Santa Claust the lamp
and these dudes want Loraine is selling their laugh And
so I'd be very very worried about that.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah, my lamp.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Ye, if you don't do a Red Nick impersonation, make
sure you got to dip in and make sure you're
you know I do it.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, you got proper read that you got to go
to like you got to go to a waffle house
while you're doing that, Loraina, So.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You gotta means some chicken waffles?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Man does sound like I said, Okay, there's not rost
though you don't make chicken with bread your food getting together?
Speaker 5 (31:17):
All right?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Hey, I made a big problem. I made a problem
part of your show or something. What does it deal with? That?
Is that Alan Iverson? Who needs practice? How does they
all don't make mistakes? And as you're over over the lord,
he's not happy that you were conveying that to the public.
The public. You can't hit it then, no matter what
you know this, you can't hit a woman if she's
screwing your best friends. Please you can do it briefly.
(31:40):
I'll beat then the carrot out of SANTAO. Share does
stuff like that again, I'll slam Justin Trudeau left left
left left let right left. That's that's DJ drama. Five
five left for Trudeau, right across for Chantel. How How
old was you here?
Speaker 5 (31:53):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Part I got I got nothing, I got little mumble
this and that mumble this.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
That I'm not really sure, all right, all right, mumble away.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I don't understand. I couldn't understand a lot of that.
I don't know what he said. I hope I didn't
get in trouble there. I don't know what he said.
I couldn't make it out. He was mumble, and he
he does not believe in pauses. He does not believe
in periods. Definitely, Yeah, absolutely, let's see here, page down,
page down. Truck Or Joe writes and says, I call
(32:23):
bs on Shack because poppy seeds are in the opium family,
not cocaine leaves two different drugs.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
No, I've heard. I don't know if it's.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
True, but I know it's urban legend that if you
eat poppy seeds. My dad used to joke poppy seed bagels.
I'm doing my coke, mister irrigation, says Ben. Those damn
poppy seeds made me test positive too. Signed Actually was
a Lane that sent that in?
Speaker 7 (32:49):
Wait, do you think Shack maybe started that rumor? Then
that conspiracy theory like theory that I think that uh
whoever tweeted that, they're I think they're right about that.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Actually, really, yeah, you would test positive for opiates?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Oh all right, interesting.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh, the plot thickens, big grig Rob Wright Sin says, Ben,
you can't test positive for cocaine from poppy seeds. You
can't test positive for opium from poppy seeds, but you
can test positive for cocaine from cocaine. Oh interesting, Right,
maybe somebody gave Shack, maybe he met opium. Oh, maybe
(33:33):
he screwed up.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Well, yeah, now I'm not too sure.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Oh what woa it is Atlanta?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
They liked to party in Atlanta? Was that place? Rob
likes Magic City or whatever?
Speaker 6 (33:43):
I mean, look that and actually that was a long
time ago. And maybe he just misremembered what they said
he tested positive for because he didn't actually do any drugs.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Jeremy in Minnesota says, now I know I eat six
of these a day. And he's talking about the the
poppy seed muffins. Yeah, late night drug tester says, eating
poppyseed muffins before drug test.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Could give you elevated levels of morphine.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
But properly executed drug tests shouldn't, he says, And this
guy's in the drug business should not give you a
positive result for cocaine.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
So he's really my drug guy. I just said Jed,
who fled because he's on the radio.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
He calls in, but this late night drug tester stays
up all night testing drugs. Thus the name, he says,
probably executed. Drug test shouldn't give you a positive result
for cocaine. That is why there is usually a secondary
testing from a different lab to confirm the original test. Okay,
all right, it's opening up a whole Pandora's box. One
(34:42):
thing boys love to talk about cocaine. It is the
Ben Mallard Show, and we are going to press on here.
Straight ahead, we will have Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (34:52):

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Insta trivia, and we'll get to Mallard of the third degree.
But here's the instant trivia. Lebron James in the Game
on Thursday night joined Blank as the only.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
NBA players since the start.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Of the twenty twenties to have a thirty five or
more point game, along with ten or more turnovers in
the game that the question what is the answer a
donkey sausage went with Carlos Boozer as his answer. Rick
Roadin from Mister Lego Guy Page down, Marcus Camby from
Alf the Alien Opliner, Julius Randall from Jeremy and Minnesota.
(36:56):
Sophie Turner, who is twenty nine today from the Late
Night Drug Tester Reggie Theus tossed out by Eke It's
just like him in Roseville, Minnesota. Ron Washington, the skipper
of Ferd Dog's Angels. Who else do we have? Doctor
j A is the answer? Moses Guthrie from Steve the
Misplaced San Diegan page down. Bronni the NEPO Baby James
(37:21):
from Benuel and Guardina. James Naismith guessed by Mister Irrigation,
Robin Lopez from Dante. That's his answer, Joe and Okinawa
from shanean de moy. Do you have an answer, Lorraine?
Speaker 7 (37:33):
Yes, I believe it is Missus Robinson.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Ben is it Missus Robinson?
Speaker 2 (37:37):
No, It's also not Caitlin Clark guessed by JT the Wingman.
The correct answer would be none other than Lebron's teammate
Looke god Don.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Sick with the Mavericks a couple of years back. Here
we go, Here we go, here we go, Here we
go to.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
The third degree. This is one big Ben gets qrilled.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Kupulu.
Speaker 6 (38:02):
It was reported this week that the NFL is concerned
that criticism of current NFL officials will cause potential future
NFL officials to never choose to become officials. Ben, is
this a legitimate concern?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
No, it's stupid.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Listen, if you pay somebody enough money, you imagine if
that's your full time job, all you have to do
is officiate twenty games a year. Eventually they'll start playing
twenty games a year. But right now, even if you
say a couple exhibition games, that can play eighteen games,
so it is twenty and then you're gonna have playoff games.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
But sign me up for that.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Come on, you get to be in the stadium, on
the field with our gladiators.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Come on, it's ridiculous. I know the criticism. Who cares
about it? For that? They pay him a decent amount
of money. Of course they'll do it next Olympia.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Noah Lyles told NBC News that he hopes this race
with Tyreek Hill will help keep track relevant outside of
the Olympics. From a marketing standpoint, Ben, do you think
it'll accomplish that?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, well, I hate to be Debbie Downer here, but
that is what's known as a one off. Yeah, for
that night, that day, people will be excited Noel Lyles
versus Tyreek Hill. And as soon as that event ends,
people will forget about track and field until the next Olympics,
and then they'll pay attention because it's only relevant during
the Olympics in America.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I don't know about the rest of the country. I
don't know rest the world. Rather, I don't live in
the rest of the world, but I know in America.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
We care about our track and field for a couple
of weeks during the Summer Olympics, and then that's about it.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
Next, it was reported yesterday that LeVar Ball had to
get his foot amputation.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
You saw that, Yeah, yeh, LeVar Ball.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
Yeah, medical issues. Now, Ben, if you if you had to,
if you got to choose, would you amputate a hand
or a foot?
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Okay, So this is a gooulish question, Cooper Loop And
as LeVar would.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Say, stay in your lighting. But I would obviously.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Pick a foot because you know, you usually you can
move around a little bit, get a fake foot.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
The hand you use, all the hand, hand, hand, coop hand,
he passes.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
I won.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
There you go. Another win for me.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
Never
Ding Dong.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Here it is our numb ber too, our number two.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's the hour of Wemby. At least at the start.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Are we getting the whole story on Wemby's blood clots
heard around the world, his situation with the Spurs, and
what does this mean for Victor Wimbanyama's future.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The Spurs are very optimistic. They think everything's gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
And I remember when Chris Bosh had this happen, people
were optimistic he'll be back, and he never really was
the same. Also, did the Lakers have alternative motives invoiding
the Mark Williams trade with the Hornets? We will discuss
that as well, and who knows what else? Right now
here it is our number two and another one out
(00:48):
out out.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
That's all that happens in this sport. They're all getting hurt.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere as
we talk continuously, and we keep on talking all night long,
coast to coast, border to mood and beyond. On the
(01:17):
mast and flavorfully powerful microphones of fs are am monating
live from the eye the eye of the audio hurricane.
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrackt
dot com will help you get there an unmatched selection,
(01:38):
fast tree shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended in stars tyract dot com the way tire
buying should be. I know random Ryan in Carolina loves
the number ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So our lead this.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Hour is from the Injury Tent and pro Bouncy. But
we'll get back to the hockey stuff later. I did
do a top of the hour Mallon monologue, the rare
and appropriate hockey monologue. As Connor McDavid spoiled the party.
Everyone was all dressed up, ready to celebrate, and it's
kind of like a presidential election and you're at the
(02:13):
headquarters of the candidate and you think they're going to win,
and then they don't win, and so it's that awkward thing.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's that awkward thing. But again went to overtime.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Connor McDavid wo wins at Canada, wins the Four Nations,
but are they? This hour is from the Alamo. That
didn't turn out too well either in the Alamo. So
if you haven't heard this basketball story, I assume you
know by now, but maybe not. The man that has
been anointed the face of the NBA, even though he's
not quite face of the NBA yet.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Team blows and they're gonna suck some more.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The San Antonio Spurs have lost star player Victor Wembanyama
for the rest of the season. Turnout the last the
parties over he's doing. Now, this is not your standard
NBA injury. No, no, this is like next level what
(03:07):
happened here? As we are told that Wembanyama, who we
last saw cheating in the All Star weekend, is out
because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
What does that mean? In layman's terms, it.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Means the Parisian prodigy has a blood clot which was
discovered after Wembanyama attempted to cheat and skills competition didn't
get away with it the NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Now, the condition.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Is supposedly the way you treated with blood thinners. And
as I've learned over the years from athletes that have
had similar situations, if you are on blood thinners, you're
not allowed to participate in contact sports because.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
If you start bleeding, you are screwed.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So when you're on the blood thinners, now the Spurs
are very optimistic.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
They think this is nothing.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
They're like, Oh, when Banyama will recover, he'll be ready
to go for next season. They're not worried about any
kind of long term health ramifications.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
The acting coach.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Of the Spurs, a guy named Mitch Johnson, whoever that is,
said that the medical staff there in San Antonio said
that the Parisian prodigy long term outlook is not impacted
at all by what they just called the setback. Okay,
so let us discuss are we getting the whole story
(04:37):
on Wemby's situation with the Spurs? Are we getting the
full story here with what's going on with Wemby? So
I've got music, factory, creepy pasta, and wool socks, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
(05:00):
are going to kick some tail, is what we're going
to do. So na burn I said, nam.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We're getting a version.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Of the truth from the San Antonio Spurs. I do
not believe we're getting the whole truth. Definitely, nothing but
the truth. It feels a little bit like the classic
scene from an old movie in Hollywood called the Naked Gun.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Nothing to see here, Please disperse? Are you sure that
everything's sunshine, rainbows and lollipops. The man that is the
franchise has blood clots. Like I get that being optimistic
is nice, and you're supposed to be optimistic. However, we
know that every situation is different, and Wemby has already
(05:47):
been propped up.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
He's been put on.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
A pedestal on a dog Food Spurs team as the
future of the NBA, the heir to the throne and
all that E's gonna genuflect to Wemby for years to come.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But he's got blood clots.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
This is a condition that is most common among those
over the age of sixty. And if you look at
the factors, and I did a minutes long mallor investigation here,
it's a condition that generally.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Happens we get older.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And among the factors that increase your risk are let's
check these here, obesity, pregnancy, having a surgery, blood clotting disorders,
and a lot of sitting around not being active at all.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
So this is where you cue the CNC Music Factory.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
There things that make you go hmm, things that make
you go So, unless I checked, Wemby isn't fat. We
don't think he's pregnant, although maybe he needs a test,
and I don't believe there's any kind of recent surgery.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
So what are you gonna do? All right now? Page two.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So the Spurs think everything's wonderful, rainbow lollipops, all that,
But what does this mean for Victor Wimbanyama in the future.
This our perspective, So I would say, unlike the optimism,
this is TBD TBD. It's a case by case basis.
Brandon ingram is I believe in Toronto now. But he
(07:19):
had this happen. I think it was with the Lakers
when it happened and he was able to come back.
Chris Bosh his career was absolutely derailed because of the
blood clots and the blood thinners and underlying conditions that
they didn't know about, and then they knew about it
and all that. So again, based on a couple of
clicks here and there, everyone I know is different, right,
(07:41):
You're different than me, even though we're all kind of
the same crap. You know the same space does Everyone's
wired different? And so deep vein thrombosis can be deadly,
can actually be deadly. A blood clot goes to your lungs,
or your heart and its lights out. We lost one
of my colleagues at Fox Sports Radio who had blood
(08:01):
clots and it led to a heart attack and unfortunately
crossed over the pearly gates, and so it can be
a deadly thing. It's a very serious thing. And we
don't know everything. I don't even spurs know everything. How
could they possibly know everything. I'm just trying to be
optimistic and speak that into the reality here. But you
(08:22):
don't know if there's some other underlying situation that could
affect him long term. And you cannot predict what's gonna
happen with a case like this based on the fact
everyone's different. And it's not like a broken leg. You
know everyone you break, You break your leg, you kind
of know what to do with You got that pretty
down pat You break.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Your hand, they know how to handle it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But when by Yama, you look at him from Afar
and it's like creepy pasta the internet meme there, Slenderman
Wenby is needle thin, he's unnaturally tall, and I think
he's a humanoid.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
He might be a lizard person. Now, meanwhile, there's a
lot of that.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Is going to change hands because of this, because had
Wemby continued to play, he would have been would have
been the Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
He is not going to qualify.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He's not going to get to sixty five games required
for that to happen, So he's not going to be
the Defensive Player of the Year, and that means that
money will be shifting around the NBA, either to Memphis
or to Cleveland most likely.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You know what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
So Jaren Jackson, junior of the grizz and he is
he's in the running right now to get that trophy
Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
He would become eligible to.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Sign a three hundred and forty five million dollars Supermax
contract based on winning that award this year.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And then Evan Mobley, who.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Is on I believe he's on the rookie extension with
Cleveland he signed last offseason. That would go from two
hundred and twenty four million to two hundred and sixty
nine million.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So if you do the math on.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That, that's a lot, right, that's over forty five million
dollars more because Wemby got blood clots, So somebody's either
gonna get forty five million extra or three hundred and
forty five million money money, money, money, money, money. All right,
final point drama, O rama, drama, O rama, dateline, North Carolina.
(10:22):
But actually the NBA Road Hornet Center. Mark Williams, the
man that was never a Laker but almost was. Mark Williams,
does not believe that the trade that was vetoed to
the Lakers should have been voided.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Based on his physical condition.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
He said, quote, I don't think it was solely because
of my physical now. Williams also posted a collage a
collage of photos on the social with the caption There's
always peace when you know the truth.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You also had the agent Slightly, the agent.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
For the Hornet Center, who issued a statement disputing disputing
the Lakers decision to fail the physical leading to the
trade that was rescinded a couple weeks back. All right,
So question did the Lakers have ulterior motives invoiding the
Mark Williams trade with the Lakers?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
So I'm nodding my head. Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I don't know how you can answer it any other way.
And obviously Williams is biased, the agent is biased. Everyone's
got their own skin in the game in this. I
don't but the implication by Williams is there's other stuff
going on, and I'm going yes, And really what's needed
here is wolf socks because the Lakers got cold feet.
(11:45):
When you get cold feet, you need wolf socks to
warm you up. They were worried about Williams going snap,
crackle pop. That is part of it, but they were
also worried that they were giving way too much up
for a guy who's damaged.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Goods and that will would liked to have had him.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
They're like, oh, we can't really give all this stuff
up because we got anet other stuff. And then so
they cooked up some kind of PaperWorks in that food.
And as I have learned over my years on this
planet doing marginal overnight sports talk radio, in the big
business of professional sports, the industrial complex of professional sports
(12:21):
in North America, if you want a player that has
some issues, shall we say, with their body, you got
to go shopping. It's called doctor shopping. You get the
guy that finished last in medical school. And if you
have to, you go to another country and you find
some doctor that got his medical degree on a website
(12:43):
and you have that doctor signed the hippocratic oath that
your player is ready to go.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And all of a sudden they passed the physical now
vs V.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
If you don't want a player, it's very easy to
find a red flag and veto a trade and say, wow,
we don't know about that precede that direction.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
So again it comes down to what your agenda is.
What is your agenda? This isn't the Lakers. They made
the trade.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
At the time they made the Trailery're like, oh, man,
even though this guy gets hurt all the time, this
Mark Williams guy, he's perfect. I mean, you told me
we had a guy call up. Who's I think he
was a Hornets fan. Oh, this is this guy's gonna dominate.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Mark Williams is so good.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
By the time we got done with that phone call,
I thought that the Lakers had acquired Jokic from the Nuggets,
that Williams was that good, and then they veto the trade.
So something else going on there. Did Lebron make a
phone call? Did Lebron say, wait a minute, you can't
do this. Well, sorry, Lebron, it's Luca's team. Now we
can do whatever we want. We'll keep an eye on that.
(13:46):
That story is not done. That story is not done
by a long shot. There will be more on that story.
I will guarantee that the dirt's gonna come out. I
can also guarantee you that the stories will come out
about Lua being depressed and overeating when he got to
the Lakers. I envisioned that I was flipping around after
the hockey game and I turned on the Lakers were
(14:08):
playing Portland and Luca now they were up.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
They were wearing the road unifors. Luca didn't play in
the game.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You know, when you're in your mid twenties, you can't
be expected to play back to back games. So Luca
sat out out of an abundance of caution. And he
even looked fat in his street clothes, but he looks
fatter when he wears that yellow Home Laker uniform.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's not good. It's not good.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It is the Ben Maler Show, which we hope is good.
If you'd like to be part, you can join us
right now. We'll open up the lines for this hour,
hour two, a big hour with Mallard of the Third
Degree coming up a little bit later on eight seven,

you in the court of sports talk radio. So remember
that when you send your he lines in that whatever
you say may be read on the air. So buckle
up for that. Now straight ahead. It is very rare
that one of the most famous athletes in North American
(15:18):
and I don't think I'm exaggerating this just randomly admits
that they tested positive for cocaine, one of the most
beloved athletes.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And this is not some guy.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Back in the eighties, everyone was snorting coke, all right,
I say that metaphorically obviously, but a lot of the
star athletes were doing the coke back in the eighties.
But it's that's forty years ago. And this is a
guy that was not even around in the in the
eighties as a professional athlete. But as admitted, they failed
a they tested positive for cocaine. We've got the audio
(15:52):
on this, We'll play it for you. We'll get to
that man. We will do it.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Night drug tester says, blood clots sound pretty far fetched.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I think the.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Spurs are in the tank for Cooper flag mode. Or
if the blood clots are real, then Wemby got them
from load management. Right, there's a late night drug tester
checking in. Well, it is the formula the Spurs used.
They had a player named David Robinson, the Admiral as
he was nicknamed, who was a very good player, and
(18:22):
then he had this back injury and he couldn't play,
and then all of a sudden, the Spurs ended up
winning the draft lottery and they got this guy named
Tim Duncan, and then they dominated the NBA for a
number of years.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
They did.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, let's see Jeremy in Minnesota says welcome back. Anthony
Antman Edwards to being the face of the NBA. Yeah,
he just said the other.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Day he's not the face of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Surprise, surprise, Yeah, Shane in de Moin rites In says Ben.
The Dodgers versus Cubs and the new ABS moved the
needle for me like a phone call from Gunner A
plus plus on the opening monologue. Now that was entertained. Well,
(19:06):
I'm glad you approved Shane and des Moines. And our
friend Kelly used to be Donut Kelly, now des Moines Kelly.
So we appreciate that. And I did watch a little
of a Dodger Cup game.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Check that out for a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And the guy that the Dodgers signed to a minor
league contract, the guy that looked like a child of
like Willie Mays, Pete Rose, Tony Gwinn, they hit a
home run. The Dodgers lost that game, and I think
there are season's over I think Dave Roberts should be fired.
They lost the Cactus League game to the Cubs. Clearly
this team is overrated. They're full of themselves, They're they're
(19:41):
not taking these games seriously. They're lack of daisical the Dodgers,
and this is just a preview of coming attractions, and
it makes me want to puke in my mouth. It
makes me want to puke in my mouth that the
Dodgers can't go out there and play a complete spring
training game. It's a bad job by them, any meanie,
miney Moe. Let's say hello to Mojo Rising. He's rising
(20:05):
up in the Bay Area. Hello, Mojo Rising.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I love Mojo's Doraina is a twenty Yes and Jery
Fox on the Mojo Rising for the Ben Mallor show.
How you doing, my friend? This is the one and
only Mojo Rising, just like the real Jim Morrison himself.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
The one and only.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Now Lorena actually thought when she first heard your name,
she thought you were for Mojo Potatoes because she loves
Moco potatoes. As she thought, right, who doesn't like Mojo potatoes?
Does anyone not like those potatoes?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Just come on, They're wonderful.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, that's for sure. Hey, So I had to call
in because I agree with the caller earlier about Lorena.
She definitely has one of the most beautiful voices that
you can ever imagine. She's such a kind hearted soul
and scene so, but it was funny last night that
she got She was like a spitfire. I love that
in her when she was defending the basketball players that
(20:57):
she do, and she does have some sports knowledge. We
got to give her some credit. So she's an all
right overall catch.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Anybody, let's not get let's not get carried.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Rna is the girlfriend keeper and the marrying type.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I'm starting to lean towards Kooper Loop on this now. Cooper,
I think we need to have an intervention here. That's
a little much, okay, I mean I feel like I
need to take a shower.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
My god, what are you guys doing?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
That's that's just me the mojo. Rizen has always been
a big flirt man. I come on, who as a
man doesn't love women, beautiful women. Come on, It's the
greatest thing in life, man, besides sports. That's men.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We love sports, besides we love women. Well, some would
put women ahead of that, but I don't know. I'm
an other. You know, I guess that's some people are
into it. But it's all good. I don't know what
do you want me to say? I'm fine, Okay, you
said it? What else?
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Anyway, mister Ben that isn't what I really call that.
I just want to call in and say that I
agree with almost everything you say. I agree about to
take with the guy from the Lakers. They they for
whatever reason, I think they figured out that the connect
kid might be really good and they wanted to keep them.
And the whole thing was like I've seen that on
the sports thing earlier, and I was like, we're in
the heck did this come from out of nowhere? Limby's
(22:06):
got blood clot and he's going to be out for
the rest of the season, Like he just played in
the in the Allstar weekend, right, So it's like, holy mackerel.
So I agree with you on that. And then the
Canada thing, right with hockey and all this kind of stuff.
I'm not the biggest hockey fan of the world. I'm
out here in the area, so I love the Sharks,
but right now they're crappy, so it's hard to like
a winning team. But those people are in Canada, that's
(22:27):
their number one sport and they love hockey. They're dedicated
to hockey. Hey, and you know the United States, Well,
what can you say? It was a great game. I
did watch it most of it, Like you said, I
was kind of like to you, I maybe flipping back
and forth to the basketball, but the games was blowout
selfings were blowing out the sixers and all this kind
of stuff. But overall then you are the greatest. And
(22:50):
the other thing when when they introduce you guys and
they have all this stuff, you're way too far down
on the list. You should be way ahead when they
started announcing all the guys from as one.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Let's can you call Imagery and Coop and make sure
they put me ahead of Cowhard and Dan Patrick and
those idiots. I should be at the very front there.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
All right, thank you? All right, be good. There's the
great Modro rise. We're gonna meet Mojo. We're gonna do
a Bay area.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Meet and greet at some point here at the bar
in Oakland, assuming Alameda Lou comes back to the show.
I know he calls in and he gets depressed and
he stops calling for a while, but assuming Alameda Lou
still has that standing offer, at some point here in
twenty twenty five, usually spring, we start doing Mallard meet
and greets through the summer, and then typically don't do
(23:35):
much during football season. So we've got a few months
to play with to do Mallard meet and greets this year.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
So we'll figure that out as we go forward.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But we got an amazing audio here, amazing audio.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Do we have this? Cueuede up? Is this thing ready
to go?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Here?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Cooper loop? Do we have this audio? Good to go?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
It is?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Man?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Lorena says, we do all right.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So this goes back to the nineteen ninety six Olympics
Team USA.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
I remember that one.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, and there was a player by the name of
Shaquille O'Neill who had a big revelation. Randomly, unexpectedly, Shaquille
O'Neal spilled the tea on TNT.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Take a listen.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Olympics ninety sixth Atlanta. They told us not to eat
before you take the drug tests. I take the poppy
seed you know, you remember chugging that you got to
stand alive for three far hours. I see them poppy
seed muffins. I Horace Boma come to the room and
said that I'm disappointing. I tested positive for cocaine, and
I was like, oh, hello, hello, hello. First of all,
(24:42):
the sergry kill me. My mother killed. I've never done
notthing like that. Then they did the research on the
poppy seed muffins had the same derivatives as cocaine. So
that's the only problem I have with Like, you know,
the NBA said, they tell you not to take this,
this and that, but something and that not on the
list can be a derivative of something that you're not
put to take it, and you can messle that.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
One, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Shaquille O'Neal admitting I failed a cocaine test, but it
was because of poppy seed muffins.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So I have a question.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Shaquille O'Neal is one of the five biggest human beings
I've ever been in the room with.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Back when I covered the NBA.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
The biggest people I've ever been around in my life
were Shaquille O'Neal, Yao Ming, George mirrasan minute Bowl although.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
He was skinny, but he looked like it was like
a spider man.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
These are all old NBA players because I'm old, But
Shack one of the biggest people. So how many poppy
seed muffins would Shack have to eat to trigger a
cocaine test?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Seriously, what he's thinking?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
You'd have to have like a whole dozen.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Right, like a box right, like a whole.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
He was a big man. He might eat that many muffins.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I believe him. Though we've all heard the poppy seed
I know.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
But don't you think Shack's the kind of person that
would be like, I don't know if he did it,
he would say it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Oh, oh yeah, I don't think Shack did cocaine. Yeah, no, no,
I don't mean that. But I'm just like the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Well, did you see the other story about Shaq that's
going around? Oh, this is good.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
So Jason Richardson, I gotta see if I can say
this on the air. I don't know if I can
say this, So I'm gonna clean this up for the radio,
because you know, there's a lot of kids listening this
time in the night.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I am in the safe harbor.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You know, I just did my my iHeart training and
I'm in the safe harbor, so I think we're allowed
to talk about this. So Jason Richardson was playing with
Shaquille O'Neil and said Shack at one point took a
teammate's mouthpiece and decided the mouthpiece needed a resting place.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
In his tushy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
He then took a he took a toothbrush, and he
also kind of stirreted around his Badonka donk and according
to Jason Richardson, he he pulls a mouthpiece out of
the tukis he put it in lou Emonton's locker and he.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Then grabbed the toothbrush into the same thing.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
But but the teammate anditson unknowingly used the mouthpiece in
a game. He used the mouthpiece that had been sullied
by Shaquielle's dairy air in a game, and he said
the entire team was dying laughing during the game. He's
got the cleanest ash, I would hope so. But the
(27:23):
then Matt Barnes informed the teammate there that anything in
your locker you should probably throw away because it's been
in Jack's tuckas you think they still do pranks like that.
I know somebody did that to me. I don't want
(27:45):
to punch him, but I know in the old days,
they used to put like the popcorn or the packing
those packing peanuts and cars.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
They'd fill them all the way up.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And I know for a fact because when I was
around those guys back in the day. If you put
those giant bags of buttered popcorn in a car. It
totally destroys the leather interior in the car.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Gosh, as you might have met someone to do that.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
You'd have to use the unbuttered popcorn.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Like that's well, let's just say some of these guys
aren't the brightest guy's cool and they just got massive
amounts of popcorn and they put it in there. And
but even if you I think, even if you use
the unbuttered there's still oil in it, right, so the
oil would probably mess it up anyway. And I don't
care how good a car do you tell her you
are if the entire car is filled.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You get a BMW.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Or Mercedes or something like that and it's filled all
the way up with popcorn, Like, what do you do?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You know, you just rip everything out and put new
stuff in? Is that Is that the move on?
Speaker 8 (28:41):
No?
Speaker 7 (28:41):
I think you go to a drive in movie and
you watch like five in a row and eat.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
All the popcorn?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Is that the move I think that's the only option.
You have to know what I'm saying, Like the cars covered,
it's damage at that point, enjoy the car has been These.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Are expensive automobiles, these cars, I mean, this is not
it's not.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
The insurance would cover that, right, popcorn damage?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh yeah, because insurance companies never fight you on any
claim at all. They never they we greatything about insurance
is when you need it, they really want to give
it to you. And they never try to give you
you know, low ball stuff. You know, they never try
to do that at all. Anyways, go back to the calls,
and uh, you know, everyone needs an expert.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Everyone needs a guy.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
You know, you need a pizza guy, you need a
taco guy, you need a burger guy. And for us,
if we have a question about cocaine, we go to
our drug guy. So the drugs are on the Ben
Malor Show. Is Jed who fled? Hello, Jed who fled?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Oh yeah, very concerning in Florida. I'm getting arrested for
the first time. It's just turns that means you're going.
Of course, I can't say, you know, I know it's
not gonna turn blue because heroin you Neal says that
(29:58):
I can't tell the copy by hey, buddy, terror, I
have to take the totain charge, you know what I'm saying.
And Uncle Sam won't shoes to go quietly into the
night and I did, dude, I did, I did. I was.
I was a school teacher that time, and let me
tell you I was total, wasn't. It's a big time,
big time in high school, the freshman calids take a
period of outside and pe and I coached because I
was out there some agility as to come back in.
(30:19):
My buddy's r O T. C r GT dressed out
his dress, shoes have been pooped in, Man, they're pooped in.
I've never laughed harder. I've never felt bad for a
person boy laughing at right in front of him. And
we coached streating to heads will roll when we find out.
And of course we were not gonna tell a long thing. Well,
we don't want that dollar a kid to give us
a red belly either. Figure the laker, big Santa Claust
(30:41):
is not working with that big difference. Santacaust the rain
and kids want to sell on Santa Claust the lamp
and these dudes want Loraine is selling their laugh And
so I'd be very very worried about that.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah, my lamp.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Ye, if you don't do a Red Nick impersonation, make
sure you got to dip in and make sure you're
you know I do it.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, you got proper read that you got to go
to like you got to go to a waffle house
while you're doing that, Loraina, So.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You gotta means some chicken waffles?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Man does sound like I said, Okay, there's not rost
though you don't make chicken with bread your food getting together?
Speaker 5 (31:17):
All right?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Hey, I made a big problem. I made a problem
part of your show or something. What does it deal with? That?
Is that Alan Iverson? Who needs practice? How does they
all don't make mistakes? And as you're over over the lord,
he's not happy that you were conveying that to the public.
The public. You can't hit it then, no matter what
you know this, you can't hit a woman if she's
screwing your best friends. Please you can do it briefly.
(31:40):
I'll beat then the carrot out of SANTAO. Share does
stuff like that again, I'll slam Justin Trudeau left left
left left let right left. That's that's DJ drama. Five
five left for Trudeau, right across for Chantel. How How
old was you here?
Speaker 5 (31:53):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Part I got I got nothing, I got little mumble
this and that mumble this.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
That I'm not really sure, all right, all right, mumble away.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I don't understand. I couldn't understand a lot of that.
I don't know what he said. I hope I didn't
get in trouble there. I don't know what he said.
I couldn't make it out. He was mumble, and he
he does not believe in pauses. He does not believe
in periods. Definitely, Yeah, absolutely, let's see here, page down,
page down. Truck Or Joe writes and says, I call
(32:23):
bs on Shack because poppy seeds are in the opium family,
not cocaine leaves two different drugs.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
No, I've heard. I don't know if it's.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
True, but I know it's urban legend that if you
eat poppy seeds. My dad used to joke poppy seed bagels.
I'm doing my coke, mister irrigation, says Ben. Those damn
poppy seeds made me test positive too. Signed Actually was
a Lane that sent that in?
Speaker 7 (32:49):
Wait, do you think Shack maybe started that rumor? Then
that conspiracy theory like theory that I think that uh
whoever tweeted that, they're I think they're right about that.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Actually, really, yeah, you would test positive for opiates?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Oh all right, interesting.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh, the plot thickens, big grig Rob Wright Sin says, Ben,
you can't test positive for cocaine from poppy seeds. You
can't test positive for opium from poppy seeds, but you
can test positive for cocaine from cocaine. Oh interesting, Right,
maybe somebody gave Shack, maybe he met opium. Oh, maybe
(33:33):
he screwed up.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Well, yeah, now I'm not too sure.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Oh what woa it is Atlanta?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
They liked to party in Atlanta? Was that place? Rob
likes Magic City or whatever?
Speaker 6 (33:43):
I mean, look that and actually that was a long
time ago. And maybe he just misremembered what they said
he tested positive for because he didn't actually do any drugs.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Jeremy in Minnesota says, now I know I eat six
of these a day. And he's talking about the the
poppy seed muffins. Yeah, late night drug tester says, eating
poppyseed muffins before drug test.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Could give you elevated levels of morphine.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
But properly executed drug tests shouldn't, he says, And this
guy's in the drug business should not give you a
positive result for cocaine.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
So he's really my drug guy. I just said Jed,
who fled because he's on the radio.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
He calls in, but this late night drug tester stays
up all night testing drugs. Thus the name, he says,
probably executed. Drug test shouldn't give you a positive result
for cocaine. That is why there is usually a secondary
testing from a different lab to confirm the original test. Okay,
all right, it's opening up a whole Pandora's box. One
(34:42):
thing boys love to talk about cocaine. It is the
Ben Mallard Show, and we are going to press on here.
Straight ahead, we will have Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (34:52):

Insta trivia, and we'll get to Mallard of the third degree.
But here's the instant trivia. Lebron James in the Game
on Thursday night joined Blank as the only.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
NBA players since the start.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Of the twenty twenties to have a thirty five or
more point game, along with ten or more turnovers in
the game that the question what is the answer a
donkey sausage went with Carlos Boozer as his answer. Rick
Roadin from Mister Lego Guy Page down, Marcus Camby from
Alf the Alien Opliner, Julius Randall from Jeremy and Minnesota.
(36:56):
Sophie Turner, who is twenty nine today from the Late
Night Drug Tester Reggie Theus tossed out by Eke It's
just like him in Roseville, Minnesota. Ron Washington, the skipper
of Ferd Dog's Angels. Who else do we have? Doctor
j A is the answer? Moses Guthrie from Steve the
Misplaced San Diegan page down. Bronni the NEPO Baby James
(37:21):
from Benuel and Guardina. James Naismith guessed by Mister Irrigation,
Robin Lopez from Dante. That's his answer, Joe and Okinawa

Speaker 7 (37:33):

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Ben is it Missus Robinson?
Speaker 2 (37:37):
No, It's also not Caitlin Clark guessed by JT the Wingman.
The correct answer would be none other than Lebron's teammate
Looke god Don.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Sick with the Mavericks a couple of years back. Here
we go, Here we go, here we go, Here we
go to.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
The third degree. This is one big Ben gets qrilled.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Kupulu.
Speaker 6 (38:02):
It was reported this week that the NFL is concerned
that criticism of current NFL officials will cause potential future
NFL officials to never choose to become officials. Ben, is
this a legitimate concern?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
No, it's stupid.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Listen, if you pay somebody enough money, you imagine if
that's your full time job, all you have to do
is officiate twenty games a year. Eventually they'll start playing
twenty games a year. But right now, even if you
say a couple exhibition games, that can play eighteen games,
so it is twenty and then you're gonna have playoff games.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
But sign me up for that.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Come on, you get to be in the stadium, on
the field with our gladiators.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Come on, it's ridiculous. I know the criticism. Who cares
about it? For that? They pay him a decent amount
of money. Of course they'll do it next Olympia.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Noah Lyles told NBC News that he hopes this race
with Tyreek Hill will help keep track relevant outside of
the Olympics. From a marketing standpoint, Ben, do you think
it'll accomplish that?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, well, I hate to be Debbie Downer here, but
that is what's known as a one off. Yeah, for
that night, that day, people will be excited Noel Lyles
versus Tyreek Hill. And as soon as that event ends,
people will forget about track and field until the next Olympics,
and then they'll pay attention because it's only relevant during
the Olympics in America.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I don't know about the rest of the country. I
don't know rest the world. Rather, I don't live in
the rest of the world, but I know in America.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
We care about our track and field for a couple
of weeks during the Summer Olympics, and then that's about it.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
Next, it was reported yesterday that LeVar Ball had to
get his foot amputation.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
You saw that, Yeah, yeh, LeVar Ball.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
Yeah, medical issues. Now, Ben, if you if you had to,
if you got to choose, would you amputate a hand
or a foot?
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Okay, So this is a gooulish question, Cooper Loop And
as LeVar would.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Say, stay in your lighting. But I would obviously.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Pick a foot because you know, you usually you can
move around a little bit, get a fake foot.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
The hand you use, all the hand, hand, hand, coop hand,
he passes.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
I won.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
There you go. Another win for me.
