Speaker 1: the bunch, here, you lucky devil. In our number two,
0:10
Speaker 1: we talk about a basketball scandal involving point shaving. The
0:16
Speaker 1: FEDS are investigating heat guard Terry Roseier for conspiring with
0:19
Speaker 1: gamblers to do just that. How does that picture look? Also,
0:25
Speaker 1: the Clippers Kawhi Leonard says the booze from Spurs fans
0:29
Speaker 1: are because of a little pain in the heart. Does
0:33
Speaker 1: that work for you? And Zion Zion Williamson of the
0:36
Speaker 1: New Orleans basketball team says he'd like to play back
0:38
Speaker 1: to back games, but the team has told him it's
0:41
Speaker 1: not smart and he's merely an employee and they will
0:45
Speaker 1: not allow him to play back to back games in
0:47
Speaker 1: the Bayou. What do you make of that? We'll go
0:50
Speaker 1: there and we'll go everywhere. Right now in our number two,
0:57
Speaker 1: a close shave, close shave. Wel come, In the beginning
1:05
Speaker 1: of another hour of the Benmahl Show. We are in
1:09
Speaker 1: the air everywhere as we huddle up and provide roaring
1:16
Speaker 1: fun unless we don't coast the coast, sport of the
1:20
Speaker 1: border and beyond. On the mast and noisily powerful microphones
1:27
Speaker 1: of fsre amminating live from the pictures. You know, radio,
1:33
Speaker 1: it's just like television, but the pictures are just a
1:37
Speaker 1: little bit better. Here. That's it, Yes, that's right. We're
1:40
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
1:44
Speaker 1: com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast

2:00
Speaker 1: I know JJ in Renton, Washington, a big fan of
2:05
Speaker 1: the number ten thousand. He occasionally calls the show. Used
2:09
Speaker 1: to be a regular caller, but now he's an occasional
2:12
Speaker 1: caller to the show. So our lead this hour scandal
2:18
Speaker 1: the scandal machine continues. A good night for scandal talk
2:24
Speaker 1: radio solid Now. Last hour, we did a Mallard monologue
2:30
Speaker 1: about a kicker, not a player, not a player. We're
2:33
Speaker 1: talking about a kicker. Justin Tucker, the Ravens kicker has
2:37
Speaker 1: been accused of being the creepy kicker. So now we
2:42
Speaker 1: have an NBA scandal. This is not a touchy feely
2:46
Speaker 1: scandal NBA style. This is a old fashioned close shave,
2:52
Speaker 1: a drama or rama involving gambling. Say what so if
3:00
Speaker 1: you have not heard, maybe not. We have learned that
3:03
Speaker 1: longtime NBA player guard Terry Rosier, most known as a Celtic.
3:10
Speaker 1: He's on the Miami Heat these days, but Terry Rosier
3:13
Speaker 1: is being investigated for alleged point shaving, fixing the outcome
3:21
Speaker 1: of a sporting event. Now, the Wall Street Journal not
3:25
Speaker 1: your normal sports publication right when they have it, They've
3:29
Speaker 1: got close ties to the government. And so the Wall
3:33
Speaker 1: Street Journal telling us that the player that goes by
3:36
Speaker 1: the moniker, scary Terry, is under federal investigation. Say what, Yes,
3:43
Speaker 1: the investigation in Terry Rozier is part of a much larger,
3:49
Speaker 1: all encompassing investigation, and that's the one that led to
3:53
Speaker 1: the lifetime ban for a former Toronto Raptor forward John
3:58
Speaker 1: Dave Porter. Yes, back in April of last year. Now,
4:02
Speaker 1: as far as this story, the Feds believe that the
4:07
Speaker 1: same people that conspired with Jhontay Porter to manipulate his
4:12
Speaker 1: performance during a couple of games last NBA season, they
4:16
Speaker 1: also bet large amounts of money against Terry Rozier a
4:23
Speaker 1: year earlier when he was playing for the Charlotte Hornets.
4:27
Speaker 1: Of course, nobody knew about that because nobody watches the Hornets.
4:31
Speaker 1: Now investigators are looking There's a date in March, March
4:35
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three, there was a game when Scary
4:39
Speaker 1: Terry checked out of the game he had a foot
4:43
Speaker 1: injury after just ten minutes of game time. Now, the
4:47
Speaker 1: the government is investigating this ring of guys that are
4:54
Speaker 1: betting on sports. I guess there's some poker people involved
4:57
Speaker 1: in there as well. But they're looking at the for
5:00
Speaker 1: for our purposes, the sports things the most important here.
5:02
Speaker 1: They're looking at fixing outcomes of sporting events across the way. Now,
5:08
Speaker 1: it is important to note that the basketball player that
5:13
Speaker 1: is known as Scary Terry Terry Rosier has not been
5:17
Speaker 1: charged with a crime or punished by the NBA. In fact,
5:20
Speaker 1: the NBA said that they looked into the claims and
5:23
Speaker 1: found no evidence of any kind of funny business. So
5:27
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question the federal government. The Feds
5:32
Speaker 1: investigating longtime NBA guard now with the Miami Heat, a
5:38
Speaker 1: man by the name of Terry Rosier, for conspiring against gamblers.
5:45
Speaker 1: How does this picture look? How does this picture look?
5:51
Speaker 1: Little snapshot, little polaride polaroid, if you will, of this?
5:55
Speaker 1: So my observations, I've got pipe place, diplomat and crusty,
6:02
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of those things together and
6:07
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to avoid a rainout. We're gonna try
6:09
Speaker 1: to avoid a reinout.
6:10
Speaker 2: So n burn.
6:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, we asked the Magic eight ball. When I need guidance,
6:20
Speaker 1: when I need clairvoyance, I asked the magic eight ball.
6:23
Speaker 1: I say, magic eight ball, how concerned? How concerned should
6:28
Speaker 1: Terry Rozier be with this story? The magic eight ball
6:33
Speaker 1: responded out, look not so good, said the magic eight ball.
6:40
Speaker 1: So the way I look at this, it's like visiting
6:44
Speaker 1: the iconic Pike Place fish market in Seattle. That's the
6:48
Speaker 1: place where if you watch a Seahawk game, they toss
6:50
Speaker 1: the fish back and forth. Something smells a little fishy,
6:56
Speaker 1: and generally speaking, if there is smoke, there is going
7:02
Speaker 1: to be some heat somewhere there. The fact that this
7:05
Speaker 1: story was leaked to the Wall Street Journal is a
7:10
Speaker 1: pretty strong indicator of future trouble coming down the line.
7:16
Speaker 1: The FEDS identified unusual patterns on bets involving scary Terry Rosier,
7:24
Speaker 1: and not every federal investigation leads to churchs. Right, that's
7:28
Speaker 1: the way it goes. But I've been told that federal
7:33
Speaker 1: prosecutors will bring charges if they have an all but
7:36
Speaker 1: guaranteed stone cold lock. The winning percentage of the federal
7:42
Speaker 1: government in the United States is better than any of
7:46
Speaker 1: the great coaches, any of the great teams of all time.
7:50
Speaker 1: They are unreal, they're not unbeaten, but they have an
7:53
Speaker 1: unbelievable winning percentage. And as the famous quote goes, every
7:58
Speaker 1: time the federal government goes to court, they are favored,
8:02
Speaker 1: and they have home field advantage in every single matchup, favored,
8:06
Speaker 1: home field advantage. The weather's always just what they want.
8:10
Speaker 1: So the thing that makes this different and the reason
8:13
Speaker 1: that this one's even more interesting than the last gambling
8:17
Speaker 1: scandal involving Jhontay Porter, he's money, money, money. It's all
8:23
Speaker 1: about that money, money, money. Jane Porter was roster spam,
8:26
Speaker 1: he was a nobody. He was a fringe NBA player,
8:29
Speaker 1: He was playing in the g League. Terry Rozier has
8:33
Speaker 1: a ten year career in the NBA. He's a rotation
8:37
Speaker 1: player in the NBA, and he has made over one
8:41
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million dollars in salary. And the theory had
8:45
Speaker 1: always been that the money is so great it's not
8:49
Speaker 1: worth risking that if you're a top line NBA player. Now,
8:52
Speaker 1: Terry Rozier is not a top line NBA player, But
8:54
Speaker 1: imagine a guy like that. He's just a rotation guy,
8:58
Speaker 1: and he's made one hundred and thirty million, and since
9:00
Speaker 1: he left the Celtics, a lot of people didn't even
9:02
Speaker 1: know he was in the NBA. Right, So you got
9:05
Speaker 1: that kind of dough, that kind of Mickey Mouse money,
9:10
Speaker 1: and you're futzing around with some bad actors there. If
9:14
Speaker 1: this is true, it an't been charged with anything. It's
9:16
Speaker 1: just an accusation that was printed by the Wall Street
9:19
Speaker 1: Journal at this particular point. But it does make your
9:22
Speaker 1: mind wonder, like, how did he end up in that situation?
9:26
Speaker 1: Did he get in trouble doing something else and then
9:28
Speaker 1: he had to do him make good? And that's always
9:30
Speaker 1: the argument, right, you start messing around, you get in
9:33
Speaker 1: the hole. Maybe you're you're not involved in sports betting,
9:36
Speaker 1: but you get in the hole with some guys that gamble,
9:39
Speaker 1: you gamble on some other things, and then you don't
9:41
Speaker 1: want to have to pay them the money, so you're like,
9:43
Speaker 1: I'll just you know, I'll pick a random game. No
9:45
Speaker 1: one will be paying attention. I played for that at
9:48
Speaker 1: the time he was playing for the Charlotte Hornets. They're
9:50
Speaker 1: playing out the schedule. It's March of twenty twenty three.
9:54
Speaker 1: You know, I'll just just hurt my I'll hurt my foot,
9:58
Speaker 1: you know, in the second quarter or whatever, and I
10:00
Speaker 1: won't be able to reach the total. You'll win your money,
10:03
Speaker 1: you know, why not? No harm in that. He'll never
10:06
Speaker 1: catch us ever. Well, we'll see all right now. Page two,
10:12
Speaker 1: we go down to Clippers star part time star Kawhi Leonard,
10:18
Speaker 1: who recently returned to San Antonio yet again and was
10:21
Speaker 1: boom boom boo for Kawhi Leonards. So, Kawhi said he
10:26
Speaker 1: understands there's not a lot of love remaining for him
10:31
Speaker 1: in San Antonio among the fan base there. He was
10:33
Speaker 1: asked about the fans booing him on his latest return,
10:38
Speaker 1: and Kawhi Leonard said, it's just because of the player
10:43
Speaker 1: I am, he stated, and what I've done here, meaning
10:47
Speaker 1: with the Spurs. So it's a little pain in the
10:50
Speaker 1: heart still, he said. He says he still has love
10:54
Speaker 1: for the city, YadA YadA, YadA. And obviously he says,
10:57
Speaker 1: when I put on the different jersey. They have a
11:00
Speaker 1: great fan base, so they're gonna stick to the Spurs,
11:02
Speaker 1: and he says he's okay with that. So Kawhi Leonard
11:05
Speaker 1: saying the booze from the Spurs fans are because of
11:10
Speaker 1: a little pain in the heart. Does that explanation work
11:15
Speaker 1: for you? So it's it's I will say, it's better
11:18
Speaker 1: than what Paul George said when he had the other day.
11:22
Speaker 1: I need a video from the Pacers. Why have they
11:25
Speaker 1: not given me a video? That's stupid? Like this is
11:27
Speaker 1: more of a diplomat type approach from Kawhi, But like
11:32
Speaker 1: all politicians, he's giving you a version of the truth
11:37
Speaker 1: and just not the whole truth, and definitely nothing but
11:41
Speaker 1: the truth. Deliberately withholding pertinent information. He's not telling you
11:46
Speaker 1: the whole story. The Kawhi Leonard had been at loggerheads
11:50
Speaker 1: with the San Antonio Spurs. Privately, he spent a year,
11:53
Speaker 1: at least probably two years trying to get out of
11:56
Speaker 1: the Alamo. He then goes to Canada and he puts
12:00
Speaker 1: the raptors on his back for the magic carpet ride
12:03
Speaker 1: to the Bling Bling and the San Antonio fan they
12:07
Speaker 1: have a right to be scoring, and that's what you're fan.
12:10
Speaker 1: You're a fanatic. That's how it's supposed to go, right,
12:13
Speaker 1: I think so. Now. Meanwhile, the final point, Zion Williamson.
12:22
Speaker 1: Good old Zion Williamson. He's large and in charge, well
12:27
Speaker 1: not really in charge, but he is large. So Zion
12:31
Speaker 1: revealed this guy was gonna be the prodigy when he
12:32
Speaker 1: came to the NBA. Remember, a game changer will never
12:35
Speaker 1: be another player like Zion Williamson. There might not be,
12:39
Speaker 1: but he never plays. So Zion revealed that the New
12:41
Speaker 1: Orleans basketball team is holding him back. They're holding the
12:45
Speaker 1: man back. That he would like to play physically he
12:49
Speaker 1: can play in back to back games, but they are
12:52
Speaker 1: not allowing him to play in back to back games.
12:55
Speaker 1: Williamson saying that if he could play in back to
12:59
Speaker 1: back he would, but Zion pointed out that he is
13:04
Speaker 1: merely an employee who works for the Pelicans, and they,
13:09
Speaker 1: the employer, have decided that based on the numbers, it's
13:14
Speaker 1: not smart to do that, meaning back to back games
13:18
Speaker 1: right now, he says, if they allowed him to, he'd
13:22
Speaker 1: be rocking with them. So Zion Williamson letting you know
13:27
Speaker 1: and I know, and letting the world know that the
13:31
Speaker 1: Pelicans decided it's quote not smart for him to play
13:35
Speaker 1: back to back. What do you make of this? So
13:39
Speaker 1: this is a crusty the clown situation. You're not supposed
13:45
Speaker 1: to say the quiet part out loud. That line actually
13:49
Speaker 1: came from The Simpsons in the mid nineties. You know
13:52
Speaker 1: that you're not supposed to say the quiet part out lote.
13:54
Speaker 1: You said the quiet part outline. That's from the Simpsons.
13:57
Speaker 1: So Zion is saying that he he physically is able
14:02
Speaker 1: to play back to back games. But the team in
14:05
Speaker 1: question here, they're the ones that are driving their Sherman.
14:08
Speaker 3: Tank tank tank tank tank tank tank, tank tank tank.
14:12
Speaker 3: If they were a cartoon strip, they'd be Tank McNamara.
14:15
Speaker 3: They're all about the tank tank here, tank their tank everywhere.
14:20
Speaker 3: It is so hilarious because you've got Adam Silver who's like, oh,
14:25
Speaker 3: we should just play ten minute quarters back to bank.
14:28
Speaker 1: For years, Adam Silver, no back to backs. Adam Silver
14:30
Speaker 1: for years preached from his pulpit about load management is
14:36
Speaker 1: the way to go. I understand why we're doing it.
14:38
Speaker 1: And then about a year ago when all the TV
14:40
Speaker 1: people said, this is the dumbest thing in the world.
14:42
Speaker 1: It's killing our product and your product, and so he's like, wow,
14:45
Speaker 1: we have new data, follow the science, much like the
14:48
Speaker 1: idiots in the US government a couple years ago. Follow
14:50
Speaker 1: the science right and all that. And so now they're like, well, no,
14:55
Speaker 1: load management doesn't work. But for five or six years
14:58
Speaker 1: they were like, oh yeah, asked the way to go.
15:00
Speaker 1: But here you have a team, according to Zion unless
15:02
Speaker 1: he's lying, blatantly tanking right, blatantly tanking, and they're trying
15:08
Speaker 1: to capture the flag. They're hoping to land Duke star
15:13
Speaker 1: Cooper flag, who is projected to be the number one
15:17
Speaker 1: over in the twenty twenty five NBA draft, leaving the
15:23
Speaker 1: Blue Devils behind. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

17:29
Speaker 1: This is slightly you know, coming up in a little
17:31
Speaker 1: bit A very expensive pitch, A very expensive pitch. We'll
17:37
Speaker 1: go there. And also at some point we'll get to
17:40
Speaker 1: this story where a player in the Super Bowl says
17:43
Speaker 1: they have to win the game for financial reasons. Say what, right?
17:50
Speaker 1: All these people rich? Yeah, somebody in the Super Bowl
17:53
Speaker 1: says they have to win the game for financial reasons?
17:57
Speaker 1: What is that all about? We'll go there, but first
18:01
Speaker 1: your witty commentary and who do we have? Chip and
18:04
Speaker 1: the QS?
18:05
Speaker 5: Right?
18:05
Speaker 1: Since says a plus on the melon monologue. The trouble
18:08
Speaker 1: with Kawhi is that it seems that once he won
18:11
Speaker 1: an NBA title, he stopped caring about basketball. It would
18:15
Speaker 1: appear that the only reason he doesn't quit playing altogether
18:19
Speaker 1: is he wants to continue to cash those big checks. Well,
18:23
Speaker 1: I would argue after the Toronto title, the moment he
18:26
Speaker 1: got to LA and to play for the Clippers is
18:29
Speaker 1: the moment that suddenly it wasn't all that big a deal,
18:33
Speaker 1: although he didn't miss some time with the Toronto Raptors
18:36
Speaker 1: late night drug testers. Is I hope these gambling scandals
18:39
Speaker 1: stay in the NBA. Would hate to hear the Penguins
18:41
Speaker 1: don't actually suck. They are actually shaving goals, is what
18:46
Speaker 1: he says. All right, let's go to the phones. We'll
18:48
Speaker 1: say hello to Brandon in Cans City. Hello, Brandon, welcome.
18:57
Speaker 1: Get what buddy, it's not a newbie night. You're calling again?
19:03
Speaker 5: Man, No, no, no, no, because we're going to get
19:06
Speaker 5: to the bottom of this. I'm not a newbie. I
19:08
Speaker 5: want to be part of the militia.
19:10
Speaker 1: Then you violated the code yesterday by calling up on

Speaker 1: Ben, you got me on you want to go back
23:37
Speaker 1: on hold? I got other callerst you on hold if.
23:40
Speaker 5: You want the thing that I want to talk to
23:42
Speaker 5: you about. And I don't know why I haven't pushed
23:45
Speaker 5: it sooner. Is you're Scott Boris's friend. Okay, your agent
23:49
Speaker 5: for the met player Alonso. He should have known. Okay,
23:56
Speaker 5: one Soto got signed and all the money left. Okay,
24:01
Speaker 5: there wasn't enough of left for Alonzo. A lot of
24:04
Speaker 5: the money.
24:04
Speaker 1: The money didn't the money didn't let salary cap in baseball,
24:07
Speaker 1: the money didn't leave.
24:08
Speaker 5: I know, there's no solid cap. But the Mets just said, Okay,
24:10
Speaker 5: well we signed Soda. We don't have to, you know,
24:12
Speaker 5: go given out another seven hundred million he got he
24:16
Speaker 5: got left on the sidelines. And that's just the way
24:18
Speaker 5: it worked. That's part of business.
24:20
Speaker 1: And you know, but I understand that. But you're you're
24:23
Speaker 1: supporting a guy who I think is worth like twenty
24:26
Speaker 1: billion dollars or something like that, Steve Cohen. You think
24:29
Speaker 1: that that's the proper way to do it.
24:31
Speaker 5: I mean, I understand, but why haven't they given Alonzo
24:36
Speaker 5: a good contract? I don't think I think he's.
24:38
Speaker 1: On They have be give him a good contract because
24:40
Speaker 1: they don't think he's that good anymore. They think he's
24:41
Speaker 1: a diminishing asset. It's not I mean in terms of
24:44
Speaker 1: like for the Mets fans from what I've heard.
24:46
Speaker 5: I don't know.
24:46
Speaker 1: I'm not in New York, but the Mets fans I
24:48
Speaker 1: know are like, we love Pete Alonso, but the nerd type,
24:51
Speaker 1: so like he's getting kind of washed up at this point,
24:53
Speaker 1: he's at two years where he is. All he does
24:55
Speaker 1: is hit home runs. He doesn't do anything else. He's
24:57
Speaker 1: not a good defensive player. And that now you can
25:01
Speaker 1: tell that nobody else is really interested in them because
25:04
Speaker 1: he's It seems to me they're planning stories in the
25:07
Speaker 1: tabloids in New York about trying to get other teams
25:09
Speaker 1: interested in Alonzo because nobody wants them at this point,
25:11
Speaker 1: not not. They don't want to pay him what he wants.
25:14
Speaker 5: I agree with all that. I agree he's on the downside,
25:16
Speaker 5: and I agree, but he should have. Alonzo should have
25:18
Speaker 5: when he first got a crack at the bigger money,
25:20
Speaker 5: he should have taken it and shut his mouth way better.
25:23
Speaker 1: Well that was a year ago, though, what is it
25:24
Speaker 1: supposed to do? He turned on a seven year contract
25:27
Speaker 1: a year ago, and now he's like, well he bet
25:30
Speaker 1: on himself. How'd that work out?
25:33
Speaker 5: He's a puts for what he was thinking. But Scott Boris,
25:37
Speaker 5: I think Gounda left some money on a table for
25:39
Speaker 5: him if he signed him first.
25:40
Speaker 1: Well, this is this has happened. This has happened a
25:42
Speaker 1: lot though. You know that the last couple of years,
25:44
Speaker 1: Scott Boars he hits a lot, and when he misses,
25:47
Speaker 1: guys have to sign short term contracts like uh, that
25:51
Speaker 1: was it. The cheating astro was Carlos Korea went to Minnesota, remember,
25:54
Speaker 1: because he signed with the Giants and then they failed
25:57
Speaker 1: the physical one of the mats failed the physical whatever,
26:00
Speaker 1: and then he goes to the Twins. He want to
26:02
Speaker 1: play for the Twins, but he had to go somewhere,
26:04
Speaker 1: and so they paid him decent, not what he really wanted.
26:08
Speaker 1: There was a third basement for the Giants last year too.
26:11
Speaker 1: I think was a boros guy. But it's happened a
26:13
Speaker 1: few times.
26:14
Speaker 5: Well, if somebody told these people that spring training is
26:17
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks away.
26:19
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter me. The last couple of years, guys
26:21
Speaker 1: have signed after spring training has started. Blake Snell last year,
26:25
Speaker 1: I hate the guy, but he signed after the spring training.
26:28
Speaker 1: A couple years ago.
26:29
Speaker 5: JD.
26:29
Speaker 1: Martinez signed after spring training started. It doesn't These guys
26:33
Speaker 1: they don't even need spring training, you know that angry bill.
26:35
Speaker 1: They don't need spring training. They're ready to go. It's
26:37
Speaker 1: all it's all for extra money for the owners.
26:40
Speaker 5: Well, well, let's get on to this. The money grabs.
26:44
Speaker 5: What tell me in your opinion, because I love your opinion.
26:46
Speaker 1: Done, I know you value my opinion, Yes, you do.
26:49
Speaker 5: What what is left out there besides maybe the baseball,
26:57
Speaker 5: the football, big games, what's left out there? It's not
27:00
Speaker 5: a money grab anymore, these NBA guys. It's all money grabbed,
27:04
Speaker 5: Pobo suff money grabs. It's all a bunch of garbage.
27:08
Speaker 5: Everything is a bunch of garbage. It's a bunch of bologney. Okay.
27:13
Speaker 1: They have a great outlook on life, Angry Bill. Everywhere
27:16
Speaker 1: do you make by that account though? Anything that is
27:19
Speaker 1: for sale is a money grab, right, if you look
27:22
Speaker 1: at life through that prism, anything, any business that is
27:25
Speaker 1: selling a product, it is a money grab. They're in
27:28
Speaker 1: it to make money, right, Like to me the great
27:31
Speaker 1: and we're gonna mention this, I think on the TV
27:33
Speaker 1: show this weekend. Is the Philadelphia Eagles. I think we
27:36
Speaker 1: brought this up on the radio show. They were selling
27:38
Speaker 1: pints of snow from their game with the Rams for
27:42
Speaker 1: fifty dollars, Angry Bill. You could buy a pint of
27:44
Speaker 1: snow from.
27:46
Speaker 5: From the from they sold.
27:50
Speaker 1: They sold out, Angry Bill. They saw that how many
27:52
Speaker 1: dumb people are in the Eagle fan base.
27:54
Speaker 5: My god, they're all dumbies in Philadelphia. They crew snowballs
27:59
Speaker 5: at Santa Oh, then I want to go ahead, and
28:02
Speaker 5: then they want to buy the snow Give me a break.
28:04
Speaker 1: It was like sixty years It was like sixty years
28:06
Speaker 1: ago they did that.
28:07
Speaker 5: My god, I remember now. I'd love to go on
28:10
Speaker 5: just for a little bit onto this kicker. Okay, I'm
28:14
Speaker 5: gonna mention to you what a joker is. I know
28:15
Speaker 5: you might not believe this. I've had hundreds of massages
28:18
Speaker 5: in my life. You don't have to go ahead. Did
28:24
Speaker 5: you hang up on me?
28:25
Speaker 1: Yes?
28:26
Speaker 5: Tell you didn't.
28:27
Speaker 1: I didn't I hung out. I Actually, well, I'm about
28:30
Speaker 1: to because Loraina's got her finger on the dumb button.
28:32
Speaker 1: Because I know you're about to say.
28:33
Speaker 5: Lorena, you're a good girl, be a good girl. Why
28:37
Speaker 5: you don't have to go ahead, okay and do something
28:41
Speaker 5: bad or derogatory to these women. Okay, there's enough of
28:46
Speaker 5: them out there that want to give you a massage
28:48
Speaker 5: for seventy five. Make an extra buck for seventy five,
28:51
Speaker 5: and they shut up and go home.
28:53
Speaker 2: That's what I was saying that Lorena at the beginning
28:55
Speaker 2: of the show.
28:57
Speaker 5: You don't have Yeah, you don't have to. Is there
28:58
Speaker 5: enough woman? After the night, he's still going to give
29:00
Speaker 5: you a good massage. They're going to make their little
29:02
Speaker 5: lecture and then they go home. You don't have to go.
29:05
Speaker 5: What do you do? You're laying under a sheet and
29:06
Speaker 5: you jump up out of the table and you're starting jump.
29:09
Speaker 1: I don't know how I wasn't there.
29:12
Speaker 5: It's a bunch of baloney.
29:13
Speaker 1: So you're a great question. Hold on, are you Are
29:16
Speaker 1: you saying it's bad etiquette by Tucker? Are you saying
29:17
Speaker 1: these women are just trying to get money because they're
29:19
Speaker 1: gonna sue Tucker? Is that what you're saying?
29:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, not all of them, Not all of them are
29:24
Speaker 5: something that don't want to do that. And you know
29:26
Speaker 5: that right away getting into the massage. So you just
29:28
Speaker 5: get your massage. You can go home. You don't have
29:30
Speaker 5: to get yourself in trouble by doing what do you know?
29:35
Speaker 5: I don't know. I can't think of what I could
29:36
Speaker 5: have done to get these women mad, other than.
29:40
Speaker 1: Nobody know with Aull due respect, nobody knows who are
29:43
Speaker 1: people know who Justin Tucker is. I guess in Baltimore
29:46
Speaker 1: is a big star.
29:46
Speaker 7: So you know, Ben, I like to have faith that
29:50
Speaker 7: he didn't do it with ill intent. Like he's like,
29:52
Speaker 7: you know what, because you can go to massage parlors
29:54
Speaker 7: that have these special features at the end, right, they're
29:56
Speaker 7: all over the.
29:56
Speaker 1: Place added bonus, big ending.
29:59
Speaker 7: What if he doesn't have that intent, What if he
30:01
Speaker 7: goes in with a clean mind, like, you know what,
30:03
Speaker 7: I'm really just going to get a massage today, and
30:06
Speaker 7: then by the end he's like, you know what, I
30:07
Speaker 7: can't do it.
30:09
Speaker 1: No.
30:09
Speaker 6: But then even even so, if that's if that's even
30:13
Speaker 6: apparently it's six different uh massage therapists that.
30:18
Speaker 2: I know, But if you know, if you know it's.
30:21
Speaker 6: A possibility, then you're going to get aroused during the
30:23
Speaker 6: massage and ask for extras. You don't keep going back
30:27
Speaker 6: to massage Elements or you know, massage Envy or whatever
30:32
Speaker 6: the place is called. These these actual legit massage places,
30:35
Speaker 6: because there's plenty of non legit ones that are hoping
30:38
Speaker 6: that you are going to pay for the extras. And
30:41
Speaker 6: that being said, he's a football player, so like I
30:45
Speaker 6: doubt there's a shortage of.
30:48
Speaker 1: He's a kicker, not real football true, but.
30:50
Speaker 6: He's he's on an NFL team and he's the most
30:54
Speaker 6: he's the most famous kicker out of all of them.
30:57
Speaker 1: I hear you, hear It's it's a odds.
31:01
Speaker 2: I'm sure even kickers you know the difference between.
31:05
Speaker 1: That and Deshaun. Well, there were more so far. I mean,
31:07
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe there'll be like ten other women this
31:09
Speaker 1: weekend they're like, I was also massage by Justin Tucker
31:13
Speaker 1: or whatever. They'll all line up to get their money
31:14
Speaker 1: from Tony Busby but or whoever the lawyer is that aside?
31:19
Speaker 1: If you think he wasn't like Deshaun Watson was going
31:22
Speaker 1: like picking up these women on was like Instagram or whatever.
31:25
Speaker 1: But I guess they were claiming to be massage therapist
31:27
Speaker 1: on like finding them and bringing them to the hotel
31:31
Speaker 1: or whatever. So right, yeah, right, but.
31:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seemed like Deshaun Watson had a thing for.
31:39
Speaker 1: I don't know, yes, regular I don't know, yah.
31:45
Speaker 2: Seeking out people that weren't expecting that. That's what it
31:48
Speaker 2: seemed like to me with Deshaun Watson.
31:50
Speaker 1: But now Deshaun liked the happy Baby yoga post. What
31:52
Speaker 1: do you think the pose was for Tucker? What do
31:55
Speaker 1: you think his yoga pose was? We don't know. We'll
31:57
Speaker 1: find out though, if this story continues, we'll get some details. Well,
32:01
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I got my boots on the
32:02
Speaker 1: ground there in Baltimore. That will cover this story. And
32:05
Speaker 1: I cannot wait. All Right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show,
32:10
Speaker 1: and we don't really talk soccer on the show other
32:12
Speaker 1: than the occasional, occasional, rare and appropriate World Cup Mallard monologue.
32:19
Speaker 1: But the people over at Sportico released the franchise values
32:24
Speaker 1: of the MLS and completely bananas. I can't believe how
32:31
Speaker 1: much these teams are worth. I guess because of inflation,
32:34
Speaker 1: the value of everything is. The value of the dollar
32:37
Speaker 1: is not that great. But the average MLS team is
32:40
Speaker 1: worth seven hundred and twenty one million, seven hundred and
32:46
Speaker 1: twenty one million. Now, the most valuable team in the MLS,
32:49
Speaker 1: you know who it is? That would be the Well,
32:53
Speaker 1: who do you think? You know any MLS teams?
32:55
Speaker 5: Lorien?
32:55
Speaker 8: Yeah, and know a couple of them. We got the
32:57
Speaker 8: LA one.
32:58
Speaker 2: I feel like this is a very easy question.
33:01
Speaker 1: You know who the most valuable team is?
33:02
Speaker 2: Cool, it's got to be Messy's team right in the
33:05
Speaker 2: Miami whatever they're called, No, no, no, they're number.
33:10
Speaker 1: Two, number two Inner Miami. They're number two.
33:14
Speaker 2: Is it the Galaxy?
33:15
Speaker 1: No, the Galaxy are number three? Oh man, oh for two.
33:21
Speaker 1: I don't know MLS.
33:23
Speaker 2: That would be Chicago.
33:25
Speaker 1: What are they called fire, you're asking me. I have
33:29
Speaker 1: no idea. No, the team is in number one, number one.
33:34
Speaker 1: My old buddy, my old radio buddies, the play by
33:37
Speaker 1: play guy for this team, the great Dave dan Holme.
33:39
Speaker 1: The l A f C.
33:41
Speaker 8: That's what I said, isn't it the LA Soccer Club.
33:44
Speaker 1: No, there's two teams in La. Is a Galaxy and
33:47
Speaker 1: there's LA f C.
33:49
Speaker 8: That's what I was talking about.
33:50
Speaker 2: I've never been for LA Football Club.
33:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it stands for. But you said you
33:55
Speaker 1: said galaxy.
33:56
Speaker 8: No, he said gallaxy.
33:57
Speaker 2: I said galaxy.
33:58
Speaker 1: Oh I thought you made galaxy because he said galaxy,
34:00
Speaker 1: So I thought you said galaxy. But anyway, LAFC, I've
34:03
Speaker 1: been by.
34:06
Speaker 2: You're playing myself on the back.
34:07
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, Well I haven't been to any of these games.
34:11
Speaker 1: I've driven by because I used to go where the
34:14
Speaker 1: sports arena used to be in LA Downtown. He's ripping
34:16
Speaker 1: that one to ten.
34:17
Speaker 2: I saw a concert at their at home venue.
34:19
Speaker 1: It looks very nice from the Highway from the freeway.
34:22
Speaker 1: Look it is nice. Yeah, looks like they really and
34:25
Speaker 1: then the Colisseum I know they renovated it, but side
34:28
Speaker 1: by side that's much better. The LAFC stead one point two.
34:32
Speaker 1: But the team worth the least. Shout out to our
34:36
Speaker 1: friend in Montreal as a CF Montreal worth only four
34:42
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million. All right, it is the Ben
34:46

Speaker 1: Blank was the first NAH quarterback, the first non quarterback
35:02

37:52
Speaker 1: Red Grange from Rod the Ambassador of Vegersfield. Eminem from
37:57
Speaker 1: alf in his keen sense of style, Walter Payton Sweetness
38:01

Speaker 1: Dog Lorena. What's the answer of Lorena.
38:10
Speaker 8: It's gotta be musical youth, Ben Past.
38:16
Speaker 1: It's either that or Frank Gifford. Frank Gifford is the
38:21
Speaker 1: Monday Night football team and he's dead now, but he
38:24
Speaker 1: was a big deal in his day. Here we go,
38:26
Speaker 1: Here we go, Smeller, how about that.
38:28
Speaker 4: To the third degree, This is one big Ben gets grall.
38:35
Speaker 6: Bengals Director of player Personnel Duke Tobin spoke, Yeah, that's
38:41
Speaker 6: what a name. Spoke about some of the Bengals offseason
38:43
Speaker 6: priorities and mentioned working on extensions for Jamar Chase and
38:47
Speaker 6: Trey Hendrickson earning a new deal. Now asked about t Higgins,
38:50
Speaker 6: Tobin said, the Bengals want Higgins back, but at the
38:53
Speaker 6: right number. Ben, do you think Higgins stays in Cincy?
38:56
Speaker 1: Yes, the right number is in New England. The right
39:00
Speaker 1: number is with the Chargers. No, he's gone. The Chargers
39:04
Speaker 1: list and the Bengals are gonna talk to talk, but
39:06
Speaker 1: in the end he's gone because they can only keep one.
39:10
Speaker 1: They're not gonna spend the money that is required to
39:12
Speaker 1: keep Jamar Chase and you know all these guys. So
39:15
Speaker 1: Higgins's toast.
39:16
Speaker 6: Next we'll take him in Denver. One of the consequences
39:20
Speaker 6: of success is turnover in the coaching room. The Lions
39:22
Speaker 6: lost both their coordinators and a number of coaches that
39:25
Speaker 6: went along with them. I'm and Ross Saint Brown said
39:27
Speaker 6: the team will be okay because players make plays now, Ben,
39:30
Speaker 6: this may be true, but do you think this much
39:33
Speaker 6: turnover will have an impact?
39:35
Speaker 1: Well, if you it depends Dan Campbell obviously gotta hire
39:38
Speaker 1: good coaches. But you know he's got to be positive.
39:40
Speaker 1: This is like a positive affirmation by Aman Ross Saint Brown.
39:43
Speaker 1: What else is he gonna say? You know, they're options.
39:46
Speaker 6: Next, the Yankees are reportedly working on a contract extension
39:50
Speaker 6: for manager Aaron Boone.
39:51
Speaker 2: Do you think that's the right move?
39:53
Speaker 1: Yes, because this is the pattern of the Yankees under
39:56
Speaker 1: Steinbrenner's kid, Aaron Boons. That was a poorly fundamental That
40:02
Speaker 1: was a bad fundamental team. We saw it in the
40:04
Speaker 1: World Series. They melted down and a lot of that
40:06
Speaker 1: is on the manager, but they don't care. Boone's a
40:09
Speaker 1: good guy with the media. How did we do? That
40:12
Speaker 1: is a win? A good winning for Senate? Oh this
40:18
Speaker 1: is bad I do
