Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka Laca. It's our number one, our one, and
know what fun under the cover of darkness, empowered by moonlight.
We stayed up all night recording this podcast, Happy Thursday,
the fourth day of December, and we start out with
the big story everyone's yapping about here and that would
(00:22):
be Chris Paul Bye bye. How do you read the
room around Chris Paul and his hasty departure from the Clippers? Also,
what do you make of the outrage regarding Chris Paul
not getting a full blown farewell tour from the Clippers
and Yannis Adenta Coombo meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks about
(00:43):
his future. How do you see that one working out
in the cream city. We'll talk about that as well.
A heavy pro bouncy ball start to our one here
it is enjoy. You can see the Netflix document series
(01:03):
right now from lob City to sob City. Welcome in
the beginning of another night of the Ben Mal Show.
We are in the air everywhere, chilling in the audio
world as we serve your chow combo style coast stuck
(01:24):
cooast boarded the border and beyond on the vast and
funkally powerful microphones of FS are amminating live good, live

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Be.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
So we're back at it again and a story that
broke overnight last night is our lead this hour. As
we knew when the sun came up there'd be more
information out and now it's like a jigsaw puzzle. You
got to kind of figure out which pieces fit wear
and that doesn't fit there, but that one does fit,
but it kind of maybe doesn't. Maybe it should go
(02:42):
to the top of the upper upper right hand side,
but maybe the left hand side. I don't know. So
from the hood in Inglewood, the people's team, the Clippers
making big headlines. Everyone's talking about the Clippers. It's hip
the clip. Yet again, they decided to fire the point God.
You can't fire a god. They fired a god. They
(03:03):
did it. They said bye bye to the point God
in the middle of the night. Oh my god. Now
I assume you're heard by now if you care about this,
it's a good story. Even if we're not a basketball fans,
it's still a good story. So it is a doozy,
an apslute doozy. So the Clippers, this guy's got a
(03:25):
big time GM. Lawrence Frank, who used to be a
coach in the NBA, has been an executive for a
number of years. Lawrence Frank decided to remove Chris Paul
from the roster. The Clippers had some flight problems. These
are first world problems. They fly on chartered planes. Every
once in a while, the engine breaks in a chartered plane,
you have to sit around for a while, and then
(03:46):
these guys bitch and complain NonStop. My god, what a nightmare.
Try try flying Spirit Airlines sometime, you losers. Anyway, Anyway,
here's Lawrence Frank commenting on the to my about Chris Paul.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Listen, they're trying to say, we're not trying to blame anyone.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Take a listen, I take full responsibility for our record.
We are not scapegoating Chris Paul. We have many issues
and we're going to address each issue.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
For our underperformance.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
We have great respect for Chris for the career that
he's had and for his impact on the organization, what
he did to help transform the franchise, and we're not
blaming him for underperforming.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
But yeah, so they did say, honest said, it's not
one isolated incident. That have been multiple issues behind the
scenes that have been going on. And they were supposed
to meet in Atlanta, but the flight got delayed, so
they just said, all right, let's go Lane Kiffin and
fiery ass on the tarmac at the airport in Miami.
(04:49):
So that's it. It happened, and the overnight hours Paul
clashing with Tylu the Clippers coach there. So those reports
came out today claiming that CP three was very vocal
saying that the Clippers sucked and held the management responsible,
(05:11):
the coaching staff for their Malfeasans and his teammates accountable,
and all of this led to of course pandemonium among
the NBA officionados unloading. It was a bombing run on
the Clippers. So that is a good jumping off point.
We'll work our way to that. But let us discuss
(05:33):
the question how do you read the room? How do
you read the room? Regarding Chris Paul's hasty departure from
the good ship Clip which is sinking to the bottom
of the Pacific Division standing. So my thoughts on this,
I've got Dancing with the Stars, Vermont and Locksmith and
(05:54):
we will combine all of these things together and everything
will go according to plan unless it doesn't. So a
the whole Chris Paul Clipper fiasco. It is a battle
of messages right now. And so you knew this was coming,
and it really just depends on who you want to
believe who you want to believe. There's a pr cage match,
(06:16):
a steel cage death match in the cage where both
sides are launching spin moves. These are new dance moves.
They're trying to audition for Dancing with the Stars. You
talk about reading the room, this one's rather easy. It
reeks of narrative warfare, hand to hand, mouth to mouth,
(06:37):
narrative warfare you've got CP three's camp with his useful idiots,
many of them former jocks who he played with, who
are out there trying to sell you the gospel of accountability.
Jesus that CP three is accountability, Jesus, he is. He
was holding everyone accountable. He's the good guy, the player's staff, coaches,
the janitor, the person that charges you too much parking.
(07:00):
All that, right, police, This is the same ultimate winner.
He's the ultimate winner who never won a damn thing
besides State Farm spokesman of the decade. That's about it.
When he played for the Clippers and then he sent
out this Instagram story which went around to facetiming Blake
Griffin and DeAndre Jordan like they were re enacting the Notebook,
(07:24):
and it was all smiles, all kumbai yah, all designed
of course to make you feel like he's this lovable
old hoops hero being wronged by the evil empire and
all this stuff. Now, meanwhile, the Clippers, they were leaking
their own information out, their own talking points as blunt
as a sledgehammer. That essentially through the useful idiots the
(07:48):
Clippers were talking to. CP three is washed up. He
was insubordinate. He was the pebble inside the Nike sneaker,
a nuisance, the squeaky wheel, the nat You never go
to the barbie in the summer and there's a gnat
flying around, You're like, boy, that's really annoying. I don't
need that. Why is that there? He's more than one? Now,
(08:08):
of course, we all know. If Chris Paul was actually good,
he sucks. If he was good. Right now, I was
playing as an All Star and playing big minutes and
all that. You swallow it, you just you handle it.
But the guy left that. That guy left the building
years ago, and now Chris Paul is essentially a flip phone.
The good news is he's got twelve ring tones, which
(08:28):
is exciting good nostalgia, however, utterly useless in the modern era.
You know, I was like, well, it's got the Ringtones.
But I know it's a flip point. I don't need
a flip phone. I want a smartphone. But it's got
the twelve Ringtones. I know, but I got a thousand
on my regular phone anyway. So and this did not
just sour like this thing is beyond that. It was spoiled, curdled.
(08:51):
I think I see some fuzz growing. He's really bad.
It's so bad. I mean, this is a messy divorce
where both sides are swearing they're the victim. You know,
I'm the you know I'm not the bad guy, they're
the bad guy. And of course the truth is somewhere
in the middle, all right, the truth is somewhere in
the middle. Unlucky there everyone's guilty. Chris Paul's bad at
(09:11):
basketball now he's washed up, and the Clippers there's no accountability.
I don't know what ty Law is doing, or tylo
ty Law would be better. I don't know what ty
Lou is doing because he said, you know, he's coaching March.
They didn't win against Atlanta, and Atlanta sucks also, all right,
now turning the page, page two. So the question on this,
(09:33):
this next part of it, is what do you make
of the outrage? Oh my god, the outrage. It's not
fair because Chris Paul is going to well, he's been fired.
He's not going to get the full blown farewell tour
from the Clippers, although likely will latch on like a
(09:55):
vermin somewhere else. So what do I make of the
outrage machine be cranked up? Chris Chris Paul was let
go during his final season, I say, stop, if you're
bad at spelling, that's stop. Police. Even mouthwashed Mike roaming
around the Bellagio in Vegas knows that enough with the
(10:16):
what I call the Vermont maple syrup, it's gotten really
sappy and sticky and extra syrupy. At this point in fact,
there are people who are at risk of diabetic danger.
Chris Paul is not Kobe, he's not Michael Jordan, and
I go down to the long big board, not a list,
the big board. Chris Paul is not getting a rocking
(10:39):
chair gift at half court every city he goes to.
He's just not. And there's the reasons why that is
because during the Lob City now this is the SOB
city here, but the Lob City ere of Clipper basketball.
When the bright's when the light lights got the brightest,
right bright lights, big city, big playoff games, big moments
for Chris Paul, the lights flickered and CP three I heard, Oh,
(11:02):
I got he's so good. He's so great, he's so amazing.
And he's also like Copperfield or Penn and Teller or
Houdini in the fourth quarter disappeared. Whether it was because
he couldn't play well, or he just got hurt. He
wasn't there when the Clippers needed him most to make
plays down the stretch. And you fast forward from that
(11:23):
era to where we are now here in twenty twenty five,
and the man's absolutely cooked. It's like a rotisserie chicken
that's been spinning for several days. And you got to
throw that bad boy away. And if you take the
name out, you do the call the challenge. If you
take the name off the back of the jersey of
(11:44):
Chris Paul, right, you take it out, and you just
look at the skill set. He would not sniff. He
would not sniff an NBA roster. The way he's played.
He's basically a hood ornament at this point. Who can
I guess, sit on his backside for forty five minutes
a night and enjoy the view from the bench and
(12:06):
then come in in garbage time and get a old
cardio in and the crowd will cheer them on. And
that's it. And now, of course people want a league
wide tear filled goodbye journey, a tour, which I'm nauseating.
When even the players that deserve those get those things,
I think it's ridiculous. All those things are sickening, This
is nauseating. I don't need the schmaltzy overload. I realize
(12:29):
I'm in the minority on that, and that so many
fanboys I don't. I don't need it, I don't tune
in for it. I don't really care about it. And ultimately,
though a lot of this, a lot of what's gone
on the last twenty four hours or so, the dog
pile is because of what I call CJ. Clipper jealousy.
(12:52):
It is, and most of it's being driven by bot
farms being run by Laker historians. You know, these people losers,
these absolute losers, like Rick and Fresno and some of
these other guys, the ones who whine that the basketball gods,
the basketball gods, they they're they're they're being there. They
(13:15):
they're in denial that they're being given all this stuff,
you know, like you's always get the shiny toys, you know,
being fed. It's like a funnel. They're fed the top player.
Every five or seven years. They get the top guy,
whoever that might be. It's just a coincience. Of course,
there's no grand conspiracy by the league office. But I digress.
But these people are bathing and shot in freude, shot
(13:36):
in freuda. Yes, they're taking joy out of other people's misery.
They love seeing the Clippers trip over their own shoelaces
and all that. But farewell tour for Chris Paul. Uh yeah,
save the marching band for the Rose Parade or whatever.
I mean, just I don't need it. I don't need it.
I don't need it. I don't need it. I Meanwhile,
(13:58):
we head from Ingle. What in the hood up nugget?
By the way, Chris Paul's gonna end up on the
bench somewhere he can. He's never won anything. Maybe he
can like latch on to the be the Kaboos for
Oklahoma City, go win a championship and there'll be seven
people watching all right now other than Kyrie and Okay,
see so the last word here to Milwaukee we go
(14:18):
where a Milwaukee Bucks star Yannis dent to Kumbo. He
felt down, goes Yannis down, Goesianis He fell to the
floor non contact injury early in the first quarter, was
ruled out. After that, we'll see if there's anything major
that comes out of that or not. That sound at
this hour like there is, but who knows. It's the NBA,
(14:41):
the bigger story for our purposes right now. Subplot subplot,
Yannis dent To Cumbo and his agent are said to
be in deep negotiations and conversations with the brass of
the Milwaukee Bucks while they're eating cheese curds. It's all
about the future of the multi time most valuable player,
(15:04):
the greatest player in Milwaukee Bucks history, all right, and
discussing whether or not he should stay in Wisconsin or
go somewhere else and play pro bouncy ball in the way.
Resolution to these talks is expected in the coming weeks. Oh,
the plot thickens. Trade deadline is February fifth, which might
(15:26):
seem like it's a long time from now, but when
you factor in the holidays and it'll be here before
you know it. So the question can you unravel? Can
you unravel what this Jannis Adenti Kumbo meeting with the
Buck big shots means? All right, yeah, so we'll do this.
(15:47):
It's not that hard. So the Yannis Bucks meet and greet.
This is not some warm and fuzzy coffee chat over
a Starbucks. This is not that is no, this is
the NBA's version of a Godfather sit down or the
Walkie talkie. You know, the mob would do the walkie
talkie because they figured nobody could bug them if they
(16:09):
were doing the walkie talkie, meaning spy in their conversations.
But it's business. It's not personal. It's business. And we've
seen this move and this movie before, right, It's a
paint by number situation. If you pay attention to this stuff,
the exact script is followed verbatim. Every superstar who becomes
(16:29):
disgruntled follows this script right before they call the locksmith
and say, Hey, i need a locksmith because I'm moving
and I've got a change of address slip I've got
to fill out. I get do it online, I'll do
it on my phone. But remember Giannis already flirted with
the Knickerbockers this offseason, so that wasn't an accident. It
(16:51):
was not like it was an accident. This was a
trial balloon, a little test run to see how the
basketball world would react if the Greek freak started browsing
penthouses on the Upper East side of Manhattan and he
returned to Milwaukee, came back's been playing and the Bucks
(17:12):
are under five hundred and so now he also this
week the other paint by numbers move is Gianni's scrubbed
his socials of any reference to the hometown team, right
the Bucks under five hundred. He scrubbed the Socials like
he was cleaning the casino floor at three in the morning.
And that's the modern superstar version of a smoke signal.
(17:35):
It's like when they name a new pope at the Vatican.
You've got the white smoke. That's the white smoke from
the star player when they start deleting any reference to
their employer, and it's Yanni's telling the box, hey, it's
been fun, but I gotta run. I gotta run, and
the vultures are out now the nix of the favorite
on the gambling market. The Knickerbockers are the favorite because
(17:56):
that's where he wants to play. However, don't discount teams
like the Warriors, the Rockheads, the Celtics. Big game hunters,
polishing their rifles right now and they're going out to
try to get that big one. Big game hunting, big
game hunting. And in today's NBA, the way it works,
(18:16):
it's been this way for a while. The star player,
the star headliner can hand pick hands select their next home.
It's kind of like ordering off a tasting menu. I
don't know if I want that. It's a little too tart.
I don't know if I want tart. I'm not sure
about that. And so Giannis is the one setting the
chessboard and Milwaukee is the one who's in a position
(18:41):
where they're one wrong move away and they're gonna hear
checkmate is what they're gonna get. And I heard that
from William Shatner years ago. Checkmate. That was what Chatner
gave me in our spats with Shats so many years ago.
How fun was that? So anyway, it is the Bean
Malord Show. If you would like to be part, we
(19:01):
will take your calls here. And to Chris Paul the
big headline on that you want to react here you
wanna hide behind your phone like most of you losers
do and send comments out on social media with fake avatars.
But you can call it in eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox if you want to send those messages
from your burner accounts like Ferg Dog and Alf at
(19:22):
Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Malor. And it is fascinating
that so many people think, like if you play pro sports,
it's got to be like the nineteen fifties, and you
spent thirty years working at the factory, and then you're
done at the factory, and then all of a sudden
they hook you up with what do they give you,
like a bowling ball and a bowling shirt or some
(19:43):
watch and give you a watch, the Golden Watch. Yeah,
they get you the watch and all that shirt. Why not?
Good luck? Good luck. It's not like that anymore. I
hate to be the bear of bad news. Oh my god,
that's like telling kids Santa's not real. Yeah, okay, anyway,
it is the Ben Mahlord Show. I'll take your calls
the whole thing as we press on here through the

of the Day. We have asked ban that'll be coming

as we were just getting the party started here, Ay
(22:59):
Chris Paul Heavy opening Malar monologue to begin the festivities
late and also Yiannis was mentioned late night. Drug tester says,
why would Yannis leave? If he goes to New York
then he is stuck with terrible baseball in the off season,
Stay with the brew crew. What if Janni says, I'll
(23:20):
stay with the Brewer. I'll stay with the Bucks. But
the Brewers have to have and they have to add
a racing Giannis to the sausage race. They have to
add the Greek freak or some kind of in in
game entertainment. Look at that, the voice of Karen k
making you return to Fox Sports Radio. Ferg Dog writes,
(23:40):
and he says, everybody can stop talking about the Clippers.
There is so much demand for Clipper content that people
are even making stories up like that phony Maloney Kawhi
aspiration scandal. Love them or hate them? The Clippers or
the straw that stirs the drink in the NBA could
not have said that better. Ferg Dog, just outstanding. A
(24:01):
tremendous job by you. You really nailed me.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
I want to give him a golden ticket.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You know what he doesn't call. I'll give my golden ticket.
You get a goal, the ticket, you get a you
get all the ticket. Milkman Mike calls in, and he
calls in from snowy Colorado. He says, a great opening
monologue and commentary regarding the fall of Paul. It's making
(24:26):
me introducing these moose to your show even more gratifying. Yeah,
she sent me a photo. He's he's on the road.
There's the milkman, and he came across a pair of
moose and the one they're not they're not taking part
in me? Is that what? I don't know? I don't
know what or two moose call? Is that? Why do
(24:48):
we call it?
Speaker 8 (24:50):
Are you sure it's not MEAs?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I don't think it's I've never heard that before. I
feel like you're just talking out of something. I don't
don't know. Well, how can we call chocolate? Why do
we call it moose? Who decided that? I'd love? Who
decides that we name that moose? You know?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
It's like what's but it is spelled differently.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
They are not, by the way, the the move the
moose are not making love. One appears to be sleeping.
The other ones like looking around, like why are you
on this road, this snowy road. We're just trying. They
don't have a they don't have a sweater on. By
the way, they're out there in the snow. Did they
get cold? I don't know. They just they're laying down
in the snow. It's very odd that they would do that.
I would try to find a nice heater. They don't
(25:33):
have to not a burner right since itys ben, I
feel like once the Clippers get rid of mister Leonard,
they will be able to write the good ship clip
Kawhi feels like a major festering mess, have failed expectations
and lack of integrity. Listen, it's a mess. I don't
know what's going on over there, but they'll they'll figure
(25:53):
it out one way or another. I do like the
fact that people have been complaining, oh my god, they
don't have any first round picks. I don't care. I
I'm glad they traded all their first round picks. I
lived through about twenty years of them just sucking every
year to try to win the lottery, and then even
when they won the lottery, they won the Booby Prize
like Michael Olowakandy. It got stiffs like that. So I'm
(26:15):
happy they don't have any first round picks because they're
gonna have to figure out It's everyone thinks there's only
one way to win in pro sports. Everyone is so dumb.
They oh, we just have to suck and get first
round your top ten picks, and the only way to win,
god forbid, you actually develop players. They're hidden gems out there.
Find them, you losers now. Andrea writes, and she's the
(26:35):
astrology Insider from the Bay area, and she says, happy
full super cold moon from the astrology Insider as it
is December fourth at three fourteen Pacific, so that would
be six fourteen on the East coast, so you have
that to look forward to. It's a cold one. It's
(26:57):
a humdinger of a cold one.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
On moos is French for foam.

When I got into radio, they still had jingles. I
love jingles, and then they got rid of them. And
I remember telling program, why did you get rid of jingles?
They're so great? Well, we know jingles are old. We
(28:55):
want to be hip and cool, you know, And I
was no, But people remember jingles for decades and stays
in the exactly. Like if I was a marketing guy,
we kind of do marketing here, but I would be
all about the jingles, like you want people to be
humming the name of your stupid business all day, so
you put the jingle in there.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Keys Keys, Keys Keys, that's a selkw one.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
But yeah, no, no, I'm all about the jingles, man.

a title? Are they losers?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
That's not the point they Charles Barkley didn't get I
don't remember Barkley getting a tour around the NBA and
have everyone kiss his ass when his last year in
the NBA. That's the point. I don't care. Listen if
you want to you obviously are you're wired that way? James?
You think these guys are like superheroes like cartoon superheroes,
and I look at them as just mere mortals that
just are good at basketball. That's it. And when they're done,
(31:37):
they're done. That's it. You know, I don't need everyone
has to. Don't give them a rocking chair and and
all the other craft that's going to end up in landfill.

years pays Now he's upgrades to the footphone. I'm excited
for that.

the facts of the day and I got to radio,
we did the facts of the day. That was big and.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
It wasn't like just news facts. It was like the
literal facts machine.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was a fact man. We had
the actual facts as it was wild man. We had
even Fox Sports Radio. When Fox Sports Radio started, we
had a fax machine. And then I remember we had
because we started before social media, we had this text.
It was text message. He was still kind of new
at the time, but we had this text thing with
some company from like New Zealand made a deal with
us and we had text messages. Well, James, what's the
(32:42):
strangest thing that you found someone tried to take into
the stadium there at a sporting event in Takoma. That's
my bat.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
I thought you were done with him.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Okay, he's gone.
Speaker 12 (32:51):
We'll never know you were done with him. Ben I

of people work security to listen to the show that
have been at stadiums and and you never know.

wondering what the context was on that, but but but yeah,
I know it's it's more of a recent thing thanks
to the w NBA, actually the Bill's Mafia. They were
the ones that really brought that damn to the forefront there.

He is our guy, Jed who fled American Hero. So
James Harden, the Beard, he went with the the top move.
If you ever asked kind of an awkward question in
line of questioning, and I it's whether you're a politician
(36:54):
or an athlete. The get out of jail free card.
Whenever you're asked a really crazy, difficult question is the answers.
I didn't know about it. I was unaware of it.
You know that kind of thing. So James Harden was
asked about the Clippers firing Chris Paul and you know
(37:17):
everyone's surprised by it, and he said, hey, I was
surprised too. I woke up and saw the news on
social media. He said, I'm confused and shocked, just like
you guys. What are the chances that James Harden didn't
know about that. I'm not saying that he was actively
involved in it, but normally what happens the protocol is
if you're Kawhi Leonard or James Harden, one of the
(37:39):
stars of the franchise, they say, hey, this is what
we're doing and this or this is what we did,
and you don't you know, you're not going to find
out like on the social I think that's bull crap.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Saying he didn't know about Luca.

favorite part of the Godfather.
