2:23
Speaker 1: That is going to happen, absolutely, But our leave this
2:26
Speaker 1: hour from the Kingdom of Braun, the Kingdom of Lebroun,
2:33
Speaker 1: and some of you have the hebgb's when you hear
2:35
Speaker 1: his name, which is good, we get more downloads, and
2:38
Speaker 1: when that stops happening, I'll toss Lebron in the ditch
2:41
Speaker 1: and we will ignore him and we will move on
2:44
Speaker 1: and talk about other things until that happens, though, the
2:48
Speaker 1: life and times of Lebron as we dance around in
2:51
Speaker 1: the Magic Audio Box with Lame Jokes of the Week
2:54
Speaker 1: coming up later this hour. So we're hearing now that
2:57
Speaker 1: Lebron James. You might have heard about this as well,
3:00
Speaker 1: and a fledgling cable network that is not doing well.
3:04
Speaker 1: They laying awful lot of people there in Bristol, Connecticut.
3:07
Speaker 1: They're in advanced talks described as being at the one
3:11
Speaker 1: yard line, the one yard line for a behind the scenes,
3:16
Speaker 1: behind the scenes documentary series similar to Michael Jordan's The
3:22
Speaker 1: Last Dance, which was a viral sensation of Pandemic Nation
3:28
Speaker 1: a few years back. Now, if you've not been following this,
3:32
Speaker 1: perhaps not. It reports indicay that a gaggle of camera
3:38
Speaker 1: people and sound technicians would follow Lebron James with the
3:43
Speaker 1: seventy six ers and what may be his final season
3:48
Speaker 1: in the National Basketball Association. Now, that report came out
3:52
Speaker 1: and then the plot thickened as one of Lebron's underlings,
3:58
Speaker 1: a guy that's been writing Lebron's co tales for his
4:01
Speaker 1: entire adult life. Maverick Carter not a real Maverick by
4:04
Speaker 1: the way. He quickly denied the report. He spat a
4:08
Speaker 1: lugie on it, like a what's that WNBA team in Seattle?
4:11
Speaker 1: He spit lugis their fans up there? I don't know
4:12
Speaker 1: the name of that team is. I saw the clip.
4:14
Speaker 1: You guys kept sending it to me. I don't need
4:15
Speaker 1: to see a middle aged man spitting a lugi. I'm
4:18
Speaker 1: good on that anyway. That's a sidebar. So report said
4:23
Speaker 1: that this camera group would be following Lebron around, you know,
4:26
Speaker 1: last season. Then Maverick Carter came in denied it on
4:29
Speaker 1: social media, wrote writing, we are not all caps, not
4:34
Speaker 1: doing anything like the Last Dance. Lebron doesn't even know
4:39
Speaker 1: when his last season is close.
4:41
Speaker 2: Quote.
4:43
Speaker 1: So you have the athletic one of the top insider
4:46
Speaker 1: guys buried behind a payroll paywall, claiming a Last Dance
4:50
Speaker 1: style doc, and then you've got Lebron's cabatible Maverick Carter
4:56
Speaker 1: directly contradicting that report. So that is a good jumping
5:01
Speaker 1: off point. Let's get into it right now. The question,
5:04
Speaker 1: all right, we have a he said, He said, situation.
5:07
Speaker 1: You are now the judge, you are now on the jury.
5:13
Speaker 1: Where do you fall on this? He said? He said
5:16
Speaker 1: Lebron James Last Dance Style Documentary report. So my views
5:23
Speaker 1: on this, I've got Svengali, Jersey, Mike's and Malotov cocktail,
5:30
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
5:34
Speaker 1: we're gonna make some corn dogs, delicious fair corn dogs.
5:39
Speaker 1: Have you been to your local fair yet this summer?
5:41
Speaker 1: It's bouncing around dan Yeah, good good lines, good food life.
5:46
Speaker 1: If you love fried foods, it's the way, the way
5:49
Speaker 1: to go. Now, what the biggest I guess is it's
5:52
Speaker 1: either Iowa or Minnesota. I always hear Iowa's got like
5:54
Speaker 1: the biggest. I gotta get to Iowa one of these
5:56
Speaker 1: years for the state Fair. I gotta I gotta do that. Anyway,
5:59
Speaker 1: So my first thought on this Lebron James Last Dance
6:02
Speaker 1: Style Documentary story, which his guy said, well, it's not
6:06
Speaker 1: it's not that it has We're not doing anything like
6:10
Speaker 1: the Last Dance. So the arrow is pointing to the
6:16
Speaker 1: word semantics. That's the word semantics. That's the word I
6:21
Speaker 1: highlighted semantics. Now, Maverick Carter did not say there is
6:25
Speaker 1: no documentary in the works. He merely said that they're
6:28
Speaker 1: not doing a Last Dance style documentary, of course, but
6:33
Speaker 1: he did not deny the collaboration on a behind the
6:37
Speaker 1: scenes project, which we assume will be produced by Lebron,
6:41
Speaker 1: which means it will be you know what, Lebron is
6:44
Speaker 1: acting like a little easel, A little easel Lebron, you know,
6:49
Speaker 1: doing the whole ay. I don't want to be like Jordan.
6:52
Speaker 1: And yet while prepping to mimic Michael Jordan now since
6:58
Speaker 1: he's publicly rejected multiple times a traditional farewell tour, remember
7:01
Speaker 1: he said, I don't want a farewell tour. I don't
7:03
Speaker 1: need a farewell tour. So it sounds like he's building
7:06
Speaker 1: a theme park, a farewell theme park instead. Every man,
7:12
Speaker 1: woman and child knows that this won't be the last dance.
7:17
Speaker 1: It can't be the last dance. We're gonna call that
7:19
Speaker 1: the last chance, the last chance, not the last dance,
7:24
Speaker 1: the last chance for Lebron to use the Bengali effect
7:29
Speaker 1: to try to convince you that he is Jordan. Now,
7:33
Speaker 1: we had a call the other day from a gentleman
7:35
Speaker 1: in an app It was Asheville, North Carolina, who seems
7:37
Speaker 1: like a big Lebron fan. That guy, and he's like, listen,
7:41
Speaker 1: Lebron is. He's given all kinds of Lebron numbers and
7:45
Speaker 1: this that and the other thing, and the watcher mccalllett,
7:48
Speaker 1: how great Lebron is and all that. A Lebron documentary
7:51
Speaker 1: produced by Lebron will obviously not be the last dance.
7:55
Speaker 1: It'll be the cha Cha slide forever, two steps behind
8:00
Speaker 1: the cha cha slide. Now, Jordan, let the cameras watch him.
8:06
Speaker 1: Lebron wants the cameras to worship him. There's a bit
8:09
Speaker 1: of a difference there. And despite all the awards, the
8:12
Speaker 1: biggie sized basketball reference page with all those accolades, no
8:18
Speaker 1: matter what Lebron does, he's just not a likable guy.
8:21
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't like. He won't be much
8:25
Speaker 1: more likable because of this documentary. And it's not really
8:29
Speaker 1: even gonna be a documentary. It's going to be a
8:30
Speaker 1: full blown legacy infomercial. That's what it's going to be.
8:35
Speaker 3: Now.
8:35
Speaker 1: I used to be a huge fan of documentaries. I
8:37
Speaker 1: still like them, I don't like them as much because
8:39
Speaker 1: I've realized as I've gotten older, the bull crap based
8:44
Speaker 1: on who's producing said documentary, and you don't play it
8:49
Speaker 1: down the middle, and it's just it's really bad, bad, bad, bad,
8:54
Speaker 1: bad bad. The Last Dance was a lockdown revelation, right,
8:59
Speaker 1: and it was our political overlords would not allow us
9:05
Speaker 1: to leave our homes, go to work, live our lives
9:09
Speaker 1: for Depending where you're well, I guessai in Florida you
9:12
Speaker 1: were free, but in California it was like two years
9:15
Speaker 1: of house arrest and that was the political class giving us.
9:19
Speaker 1: Let them eat cake to watch that documentary. If you remember,
9:23
Speaker 1: and some of you guys still listen, I get some
9:24
Speaker 1: nice messages from some of you who were listening. During
9:26
Speaker 1: the pandemic. We were on the air, had the highest
9:28
Speaker 1: ratings in the history of Fox Sports Radio. Not just
9:30
Speaker 1: this show, every show during the pandemic says we're not
9:33
Speaker 1: really good at talking sports, We're just good at talking
9:36
Speaker 1: And during that we did Marvel Racing, but the Last
9:39
Speaker 1: Dance came out every Sunday and we would do Malard
9:44
Speaker 1: monologues breaking down the Last Dance because we were looking
9:47
Speaker 1: for crap to talk about, and so we literally I
9:50
Speaker 1: would watch these episodes and then break them down Zubruder
9:54
Speaker 1: film style. That'll never happen. We hope. We think the
9:58
Speaker 1: world's wised up to the lockdown situation that will not
10:01
Speaker 1: happen again in our lifetimes. But Lebron is yet again,
10:06
Speaker 1: you know, just gonna be in second place. And that's it.
10:08
Speaker 1: And as my friend William Shatner used to say, checkmate, checkmate.
10:12
Speaker 1: All right. Now, secondly, from a team standpoint, from a
10:16
Speaker 1: team standpoint, take a few steps back and put this
10:20
Speaker 1: under the Mallard microscope. Put it under the Mallard microscope. Question,
10:24
Speaker 1: would a Lebron James documentary be a problem capital p
10:28
Speaker 1: problem for the Sixers?
10:32
Speaker 4: All right?
10:32
Speaker 1: So the answer on this is one hundred percent. One
10:38
Speaker 1: hundred percent is the answer. We're talking Kardashian level circus
10:43
Speaker 1: with better lighting, the kind of textbook distraction that makes
10:50
Speaker 1: old hardened head coaches age in dog years, arf in
10:57
Speaker 1: dog years, and the roster gets harvested for content and
11:03
Speaker 1: it's good luck. Now, Fortunately Philadelphia is coached by a nurse.
11:07
Speaker 1: They actually have a nurse as their head coach, because
11:10
Speaker 1: with Lebron inbound, they don't need a film crew. They're
11:16
Speaker 1: going to need a therapist is what they're gonna need.
11:19
Speaker 1: And sure pro athletes live in the spotlight, but they
11:22
Speaker 1: still get private sanctuary. Time, planes, trains, automobiles, and locker
11:29
Speaker 1: rooms are often off limits to certain media types. So
11:33
Speaker 1: Lebron he's got he's gonna give these people VIP camera access.
11:40
Speaker 1: It'll strip all that away. And I learned about this
11:43
Speaker 1: years ago. It's called the Hawthorne effect. You ever heard
11:46
Speaker 1: about the Hawthorne effect? You know, you don't know what
11:48
Speaker 1: it is, Okay, just look it up. It's it's very interesting.
11:52
Speaker 1: And the Hawthorne effect is well, I'll give an example
11:56
Speaker 1: Joe l Embiid and the Fellas performing for close ups,
12:00
Speaker 1: acting out for viewers and obsessing over their you know,
12:05
Speaker 1: personal brand growth and all that stuff, rather than behaving naturally.
12:08
Speaker 1: Because it's been proven when you're on camera and you
12:10
Speaker 1: know you're being recorded, you act differently. It's called playing
12:13
Speaker 1: to the camera. It's called playing the camera. It's like
12:18
Speaker 1: you here on the Radar Show. Before we had cameras,
12:22
Speaker 1: I didn't often put the paper I have in front
12:25
Speaker 1: of me and then wrap it up into a baseball
12:28
Speaker 1: and throw it like I'm the misz. I didn't do
12:30
Speaker 1: that before, but the camera's in here. It's the hawthorn effect.
12:32
Speaker 1: So I acted different. I played to the camera as
12:35
Speaker 1: far as I know. Unless you're a name Kardashian, you
12:38
Speaker 1: don't want to be filmed constantly. You just don't. What
12:43
Speaker 1: a bloody nightmare that would be. Imagine having to I
12:46
Speaker 1: mean film NonStop. My god, what a nightmare. All right now,
12:50
Speaker 1: final thought to Big ten media days, that's right, cottage football.
12:57
Speaker 1: That's a college football for you. And love the trash talk,
13:01
Speaker 1: love the bull crap that's coming out right about now,
13:05
Speaker 1: cranking up the hype machine, trying to get you to
13:07
Speaker 1: watch the college grid iron. So the reigning champions, which
13:13
Speaker 1: if I had said twenty years ago, thirty years ago
13:15
Speaker 1: that Indiana Hoosier Football would be sitting in the catbird seat,
13:21
Speaker 1: you'd say, are you out of your freaking you know what? No,
13:24
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Indiana or Ohio State or Alabama, the
13:29
Speaker 1: usual suspect. No, No, So Indiana coach Kurt Signetti was
13:35
Speaker 1: the star of the show as he put on the
13:39
Speaker 1: razzle dazzle. Now the highlight of highlights, the quote that
13:43
Speaker 1: went the most viral. Let's just play the hits. Mom
13:45
Speaker 1: man play the hits. This is Kurt Signetti, the head
13:47
Speaker 1: coach at Indiana Ranny Champions of College Football. He had
13:50
Speaker 1: a couple of things to say about the Southeastern Conference,
13:53
Speaker 1: A little sec, Big Ten, back and forth. Here's the
13:56
Speaker 1: Indiana football coach. Take a listen.
13:59
Speaker 5: The Big Ten is the best league in football and
14:02
Speaker 5: a lot of really good football teams. It's hard to
14:04
Speaker 5: win on the road, very physical football teams, very well coached.
14:08
Speaker 5: It definitely prepares you for the playoffs. There's no doubt
14:11
Speaker 5: about the numbers speak for themselves. I mean, we don't
14:13
Speaker 5: run a hype machine up here in the Midwest. We
14:16
Speaker 5: believe everything's earned, not given. And when we fall short,
14:19
Speaker 5: we say we fell short. We don't cry a river,
14:22
Speaker 5: wine and complain, all right, and that's why we're the best.
14:26
Speaker 1: Okay Now, of course, the best means as good as
14:28
Speaker 1: all the rest. And so that last part, cry a
14:32
Speaker 1: river and wine and complain. He also took a shot
14:36
Speaker 1: at UCLA USC Oregon, Washington and what are the East
14:42
Speaker 1: Coast teams Rutgers, Maryland in the Big Ten? Right, take
14:47
Speaker 1: a shot at them because he talked about the Midwest. Well,
14:50
Speaker 1: the Big Ten is a national conference. It goes from
14:53
Speaker 1: the Pacific to the Atlantic and through all the Great Lakes.
14:56
Speaker 1: That's the Big Ten. It's no longer just a Midwestern conference.
15:00
Speaker 1: But anyway, let's just play off the money quote. He
15:03
Speaker 1: also boasted about Signetti. Did the Hoosiers or I believe
15:06
Speaker 1: twenty seven and two the last couple of seasons, the
15:09
Speaker 1: reigning champions, they spanked Alabama, gave him a big beat
15:14
Speaker 1: down there, and they have the nation's longest overall and
15:17
Speaker 1: home winning streak. So the question question for the class,
15:21
Speaker 1: and you're in the class. Is Indiana coach Kirk Signetti
15:25
Speaker 1: playing with hot oil by calling Southern Fried football a
15:29
Speaker 1: bunch of cry babies. Yeah, so I love it. I
15:34
Speaker 1: love the goofing. I enjoyed the goofing. I'm a talk
15:38
Speaker 1: show host. I just think it's great. And I didn't
15:42
Speaker 1: watch too much of Ted Lassa. My wife forced me
15:44
Speaker 1: to watch a few of those episodes. And he's got
15:47
Speaker 1: a little of that vibe going. Signetti does a little
15:50
Speaker 1: bit of that. He's walked the walk and now he's
15:54
Speaker 1: got the receipts and he's able to talk to talk
15:57
Speaker 1: and as a talk show host, I like it. Signetti
15:59
Speaker 1: didn't just poke the Southeastern Conference. He lit a match
16:04
Speaker 1: on a Malotov cocktail and he tossed it into a
16:09
Speaker 1: hay barn in Tuscaloosa, is what he did. That's great,
16:13
Speaker 1: But crybabies, that's essentially what when you say, hey, cry
16:16
Speaker 1: a river, whine and complain, that's you're doing. As far
16:19
Speaker 1: as the hype, I'm gonna push back on that. The
16:22
Speaker 1: Big Ten does a lot of hype. There's a lot
16:23
Speaker 1: of hype in the Big Ten. Everyone's in the hype
16:26
Speaker 1: business because of the bane on society that is social media.
16:32
Speaker 1: You all have to do the hype. Do the hype now. Now,
16:35
Speaker 1: For years, the Southeastern Conference was the big bad Wolf
16:40
Speaker 1: of college football. They were the Roman Empire, the Juggernaut.
16:43
Speaker 1: And now the analogy, here's the perfect analogy for the
16:47
Speaker 1: difference between the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten. The
16:52
Speaker 1: SEC was Blockbuster Video in nineteen ninety six. The Big
16:59
Speaker 1: Ten is Netflix now, and now the SEC is Blockbuster
17:06
Speaker 1: Video now. And Kurt Signetti is controlling the algorithm. He's
17:11
Speaker 1: the puppet master controlling the algorithm. So they have been harpooned.
17:16
Speaker 1: In the nil era, the Southeastern Conference is getting absolutely mollywopped.
17:22
Speaker 1: They're on the ropes right now, while the Big Ten
17:26
Speaker 1: has stacked not one, not two, but three straight college
17:29
Speaker 1: football playoff championships like pancakes. In the NIL era, there's
17:35
Speaker 1: a domination situation. And the Great Mike Tyson famously said
17:39
Speaker 1: everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
17:42
Speaker 1: And the Southeastern Conference has been getting punched in the
17:45
Speaker 1: face lately in these matchups in the playoffs, and Signetti
17:48
Speaker 1: didn't disrespect them. He told the truth, and that hurts more.
17:52
Speaker 1: That hurts more. So this is again in the NIL era.
17:56
Speaker 1: This is an nWo situation, the new world order of
18:00
Speaker 1: college football. There's a new chief, a new king, and
18:04
Speaker 1: that is the Big Ten Conference in general, in the
18:08
Speaker 1: Southeastern Conference right now. While they're still good and there's
18:10
Speaker 1: some spectacle at Southeastern Conference games, it's not the same
18:15
Speaker 1: and unless they change the playground rules, it will not
18:19
Speaker 1: be the same in our lifetimes. Maybe down the line,
18:22
Speaker 1: but not in our lifetimes. That's it. It is the
18:25
Speaker 1: Ben Mahlor Show, as we make a mad dash, not
18:28
Speaker 1: it for the Ben Maler Show. If you'd like to
18:30
Speaker 1: be part, you can join us. The lines are open
18:33
Speaker 1: and say hello. At eight seven, seven ninety nine on
18:37
Speaker 1: Fox that's eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six six three six.
18:41
Speaker 1: Now we do have a line open, first time in
18:43
Speaker 1: a while, so let's make sure we fill that up
18:45
Speaker 1: there and we'll get you on as soon as we can.
18:49
Speaker 1: We've got lame jokes, as I said later this week time.
18:51
Speaker 1: Now for the Mallard Riddle today, you can answer this
18:53
Speaker 1: on AX at Bean Mahlor. That's right at Ben Malor.
18:58
Speaker 1: If you'd like to answer the Mallard Riddle of the day.
19:01
Speaker 1: It has been revealed that NBA star Kawhi Leonard has
19:08
Speaker 1: been a long hidden investor in a controversial blank. You
19:14
Speaker 1: think he'll be playing for the Toronto Raptors next year
19:16
Speaker 1: if he's playing in the NBA. It has been revealed
19:18
Speaker 1: that NBA star Kawhi Leonard has been a long hidden
19:22

29:38
Speaker 1: likely make no trades or nothing major that I have already.
29:41
Speaker 1: I know they made one minor trade and the guy
29:42
Speaker 1: got hurt right away. They're not gonna make a They're
29:44
Speaker 1: not gonna make a major trade, so then the players
29:46
Speaker 1: will be upset, and then I'm just saying the mega
29:51
Speaker 1: trade to make a trade.
29:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they have made a feel. I don't know

30:07
Speaker 2: They they're doing great. Yeah, I believe that.
30:10
Speaker 1: All right. The Red Sox are still seven what are
30:16
Speaker 1: they seven games back of the Yankees? Still, but they
30:18
Speaker 1: are the top wild card team. I believe the second
30:22
Speaker 1: their number. Wait, no, they're number two, right because the
30:24
Speaker 1: Yankees are Technically I believe the Yankees are the wild
30:27
Speaker 1: card team because Tampa Bay is leading the division. So yeah,
30:30
Speaker 1: they're the number two wild card team. There you go,
30:32
Speaker 1: all right, there you go?
30:33
Speaker 5: All right?
30:33
Speaker 1: Fine, good. You're so happy. I'm not listen listen to
30:38
Speaker 1: You're time the Terrible. I'm not used to you being happy.
30:40
Speaker 1: You're time the Terrible.

30:47
Speaker 1: All right.
30:47
Speaker 2: Listen.
30:48
Speaker 1: I love hearing your voice. I love that you're so happy.
30:50
Speaker 1: That's great. Enjoy it. The Red Sox are winning all
30:52
Speaker 1: these games, fattening up their record, and they are six
30:56
Speaker 1: games over five hundred. That means now they have to
30:59
Speaker 1: keep my my old buddy, Jim Tracy's son is the manager.
31:02
Speaker 1: I was around Jim a lot when he managed the Dodgers.
31:04
Speaker 1: I love Jim Tracy good Man. His kid is the
31:06
Speaker 1: Red Sox interim manager. They got to keep him, right,
31:09
Speaker 1: those are the rules, you gotta do it. The Red
31:13
Speaker 1: Sox were terrible, boring, bad. I think the turning point
31:17
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox, and I haven't gotten this confirmed,
31:19
Speaker 1: but I believe was when the entire Mallor Show went
31:23
Speaker 1: to Finway to watch them play Tampa Bay. Because they
31:25
Speaker 1: won that game and we planted the seed that you're
31:28
Speaker 1: not a bunch of sad sack losers, that you're winners
31:32
Speaker 1: and you can succeed. And because of that, because of
31:35
Speaker 1: the Ben Malor Show visiting the Holy land there at Finway,
31:40
Speaker 1: the tabernacle of baseball. We inspired this Red Sox team
31:44
Speaker 1: to turn things around. That's kind of true in many ways,
31:47
Speaker 1: right Coopy, you were wandering around there, you saw, we
31:50
Speaker 1: saw Wally the green Monster. We went to the cask
31:53
Speaker 1: and flagging. We had a full Boston experience, a full
