  Speaker 2: This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So I was told by one of my friends in
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the state of Ohio that if I did not start
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: with this story, I would be a total fraud. Now,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: normally I ignore this because who the hell cares some
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: random dude I don't know. However, I do find this
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a compelling story and worthy of a few good minutes
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: of talk into the very powerful bully pulpit we have
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: here the microphones of Fox Sports Radio. So the trade
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: hurt round the NBA, which happened not that long ago,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Well it hasn't actually happened. If you didn't see this,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: perhaps not. Why are you being so vague, malor why
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: are you being vague? Penny boy? All right, so we've
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: learned now that Kawhi Leonard the man that made me
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: hate the NBA, Kawhi Leonard his trade from the Clippers
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to the Raptors. They hit the pause button on it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: It's in a holding pattern right now, pending the NBA's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: never ending investigation into potentially potential salary cap shenanigans, the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: circumvention of the salary cap. Now, the deal was agreed
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to at the end of last month. Toronto would get
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard so he can sit on their bench and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: get hemorrhoids in exchange for Brandon Ingram, who will likely
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: be traded by the Clippers to somebody else, and Grady Dick.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Also a bunch of unprotected first round draft picks and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the pick swaps and you can wipe your tuckus with
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that second round picks. Who the hell cares? Whooped damn do?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: The deal cannot be finalized until the NBA concludes its probe,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: which has been going on and on and on. Now.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: The Raptors already announced it, they promoted it. It's all
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: over the place. From what we understand, the Toronto media
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: having a field day like this is some kind of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: chicken soup for the soul story and the Raptors do
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: not want to inherit any penalties like a fine or
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: suspension or draft pick forfeiture or anything like that which
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: would be tied to Kawhi from his time with the Clippers.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And so the NBA has essentially said, listen, if you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: trade for Kawhi Leonard and we punished him, whoever has
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: him on the roster has to pay the piper. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Toronto's like, we're not We're absent minded, but we're not
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that absent minded, all right, So that is a good
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question the Raptors
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: playing a Eventually the Elvis song returned to sender, putting
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard back. It's weird because the Clipper said return
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to senator to Toronto, and now it's like they're going
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: back and forth like a tennis match and they're volleying
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: back and forth. So it's the Elvis song right, return
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to center on Kawhi Leonard for now. Are the Clippers
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: going to be stuck with the claw?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So my thoughts, I've got replay Center, the Bachelor and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Chick fil A, and we will combine all of these
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to be on pins
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and needles, pins and needles, all right, So a the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Kawhi saga is it's like if you my friends that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: live in Florida and know this, if you've ever been
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to Florida, most people have. It's like the humidity in Florida.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It's sticky, it's uncomfortable, and you're not sure when you're
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: gonna get a break. It is, I believe the math.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Last I checked, it had been ten months. Ten months
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the league has been investigating this no show job for Kawhi.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Now the Clippers are claiming they were victims of Aspiration,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that's the business that went out of business. But they're
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: saying they were the victims of fraud. I don't believe that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I doubt that's the case. Despite some podcast clown barking
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and winning awards for this, there does not appear to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be any smoking gun. Now, why is there no smoking gun?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Thinking it like going to the NBA's replay center. The
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: call is either upheld, overturned, or stands. This Kawhi investigation
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: has gone on for ten months. That tells you it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: more likely than not the call stands, meaning there's nothing
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: there there and I expect at most a mosquito bite penalty,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: not a great white shark biting off your leg and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the association, and I said this several months ago. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: have some people that still talk to me that work
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: around those worlds, and the theory that has been passed
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: on is that they are simply too paranoid at the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: League office that if they really do give the hammer
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of God to the Clippers and ding them, that that
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: will trigger an avalanche. Is also complicated because Clippers have
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: traded away pretty much all their draft picks. Still I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: don't have many draft picks, which I don't mind because
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of various trades, mostly the fallout from the Paul George transaction.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: So the problem is they're concerned about this tsunami of
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: similar ghost jobs or other similar setups for superstar players
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: from the Pacific to the Atlantic. And that's the problem.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: As a distant relative of Nostradamus and a friend of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: noster Denis he lives in Seattle, I know the Claw
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: will not be in the Twilight Zone very long. He'll
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: be eating that great Canadian poutine before you know it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Now I have boots on the ground because you gotta know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I said this on the podcast they do in the weekend.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: You gotta have a guy, whatever the case, you gotta
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: have a guy. Right, have a car guy. You gotta
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: have a home improvement guy. You just have a guy.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So I got my guy, My Canadian guy, Nico. It's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Canadian sports insider Nico. He tells me Toronto they want
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: that Kawhi two point zero storyline. I might be embellishing this.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: They want it so badly. How badly they want it
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: so badly that they would trade the CN Tower if
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it had a player option for Kawhi. That's how bad
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: they want this. That temporary return de sender from the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Elvis song that's gonna fade away. They'll work it out,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: they'll figure it out. They will likely be a massive fine.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Steve Balmer goes to bed, takes a bowel movement and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: he can cover the fine, and the Clippers will end
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: up sending Kawhi to Toronto, and Toronto will send the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Clippers Dick. They will get Grady Dick, that's what they're
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: gonna get, and some scratcher tickets and that'll be that,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and everyone who loves jokes can make their jokes. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: know I'm gonna get a bunch of photos of Grady
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Dick in a Clipper jersey with Dick on the back.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I know because that's his name, all right now. Meanwhile
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to Lebron, watch at a golf course near you, Lebron James,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: what is he? Forty one? Now in the middle of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: another drawn out everyone look at me, everyone look at me.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Recruiting process. Not as much juice to this one as
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the ones previous one. He was actually good. Multiple NBA
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: teams said to be aggressively pursuing rather than casually pursuing.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Aggressively pursuing like he's the hottest cougar at the bar.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: The cougars are coming. The cougars are coming. And the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: part of the story now where it's gone off the hinges,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: is there. There's a story bouncing around that some teams
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: have been sending personalized voice memos to agent Rich Paul,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the guy riding Lebron's coattails. So let me beat that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: for those who in the back of the room, if
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you're not paying that close attention because it's late at
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: night and all that. So NBA executives, general managers, owners,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: presidents all out of these big, multi billion dollar basketball
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: franchises are recording sales pitches outlining their vision of Lebron
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: joining their team, and then they're being relayed through the middleman,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Rich Paul. Now this is happening supposedly with several of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the leading suitors, and you know who they are, Cleveland, Miami,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a couple of former teams at Lebron, And so that's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: where we are. Lebron has been on vacation. I know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: we're very concerned about other people's vacations. It's doing a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: lot of golfing with family and friends, and big story
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: there out with Draymond Green, Oh my god. And Lebron
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: has set no timetable for a decision. I think we're
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: in week two or three at this point. All right,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: So the question what do you read in to these
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: NBA teams leaving Lebron James voice memos, But they're leaving
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: them with Rich Paul in order to recruit Lebron in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: free agency. So the league, if you didn't believe this before,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: has definitely turned into a very dramatic middle school hallway.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: At this point, it's junior high school. Lebron is the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: only player in I can recall in history recruited like
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he's choosing between private islands It just strikes me as pathetic.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I get the business element of it. I understand that Lebron,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: even though he's slowing down a bit, the basketball side
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: is one thing, and the nostalgia and the romanticizing of Lebron.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: You can sell some tickets. Low information fans will buy tickets.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The casuals will buy tickets. No. The league, though, used
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to have some pride. Now it's a bunch of I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: assume grown dudes in suits recording audio love notes to Lebron,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Like the old days when you'd call up Delilah, I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: guess she's still around. A night on the radio, Delilah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: can you make a love request for my so and so? Yeah?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: All right, So the gms are sending memos. It in
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: my head, in the cartoon bubble of my head, it's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: like contestants on the Bachelor. It's like, Hey, Lebron, if
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you could give us this rose and thirty five points
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a night, that would be pretty good. Imagine the Cavaliers
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: voicemail probably started, Hey, hey Lebron, you up, you up Laura.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: The greatest, though, has to be the venerable pat Riley,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: at age eighty one, recording his sales pitch for the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Miami heat Hey, Lebron, it's Pat. You know. I know
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I said some things in the past about you, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I've changed, man, I've changed, Lebron. Give me a call. Thanks, Pat. Bye.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And then he's hitting the buttons because you know, you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we don't know how to old guys don't know how
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to do the voicemail thing and all that. Now, meanwhile,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Lebron is pulling out his putter. I imagine Lebron listening
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to all these voice memos on like one and a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: half speed just to get through them, all the begging
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and all that. And I don't know what he's doing
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: with all the packages, the care packages, the edible arrangements,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the apology balloons that he's getting. I have no idea. Meanwhile,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: we now go to the last word scandal. Scandal in
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: broadcasting so involves the Alamo, the runner up the silver
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: medal winners of the NBA, the San Antonio Spurs, and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Jacob Toby. Who the F is this guy? Apparently he
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: was the lead play by play announcer for the San
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs. We say that in past tense, following a
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: viral accusation which appears to be accurate. Considering what happened
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: next that he had a Tawdrey affair. Although he wasn't married,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: he had a girlfriend. And this is a hum dinger
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of a story if you somehow missed this one. This
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: guy Toby, who's a young upstart broadcaster not anymore, joined
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the Spurs a couple of years ago. They have a
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: dream job, right, NBA play by play guy. Those are
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the kind of jobs you can have for thirty years, right,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: somehow I've ended up at this job for almost thirty years.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: But that's a job you can have for like thirty years.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And so he joined the Spurs a couple of years ago.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: He'd worked in Denver and done some regional stuff, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: he has been kicked out of San Antonio after his
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: now former girlfriend accused him of cheating on him on
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: her with the sister of a Spurs player. I remember
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the famous quote hell has no for like a woman scorned.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Well here we go. So the girlfriend, I don't know
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: whether she hacked his Instagram or she he just found this,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe he left his phone on. I don't know how
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: this went, but we'll get to the bottom of it,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure at some point, because we care about
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: these things unless we don't. So this chick was all offended,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you know, because this guy was stooping around, and she
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: then posted on his social media and it within a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: few hours, this guy was given the walking papers and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: said get out of here. You're done. Girlfriend said that's it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: They were together like six years and what a way
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to go out. This is the nuclear option, boys, nuclear option.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Some are questioning why San Antonio ended up firing the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: broadcaster instead of some other punishment, suspension, fine, things like that,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: all right. Question. Some have even said, I think our
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: homeboy Cowherd said that there should be a lawsuit here.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Question does broadcaster now former Spurs broadcaster Jacob top we
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: have a lawsuit over getting whacked by the San Antonio
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: basketball team for an affair. So, as you know, I
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: am not a lawyer. I do practice law every night
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: for four hours on the radio. So I am shaking
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: my head. No, I'm shaking my head. Nope, nope, nope, no, no,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: no no no. Here's why the legal gobbledegook. That's why
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: every contract I've signed with Fox Sports Radio, Slash, iHeart
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and other places I've worked, NBC, a bunch of other
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: radio stations over the years has had what they called
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the bad boy clause. Bad boys, bad boys, what you're
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: gonna do when they come for you? Now that clause
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: is standard. It is a boilerplate clause. And I believe
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: pretty much every contract of a public figure, and I
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: assume other people that have to sign contracts, but it
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: allows the Spurs to excommunicate you or whatever business you
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: work for, for embarrassing the business or in this case,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the organization. The legal simple, don't be stupid. I think
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the line was don't fish off the company pier. Now
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: technically this the girlfriend or the other woman was not
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: employed by the Spurs, but her brother was told me,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you apparently skipped that part of the contract. Who reads
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the minutia in those contracts? So nobody does? Nobody reads
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that stuff anyway. Now, there's always wiggle room. I will
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: tell you there's always wiggle room. I've seen it from
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: my years in broadcasting. If you're really good and you
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: do something like this, and you know, you sleep with
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboy cheerleading squad, if you're good, they'll look
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the other way. Didn't happen here, right, The Spurs they
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: got rid of this guy. They they sent him away
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and he was decommissioned with the efficiency of a Chick
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: fil a drive throw like this happened sometime at night
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: or overnight. And this this cat clearly not the second
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: coming of the great Bill Shooning, longtime Spurs guy. He
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: retired a couple of years ago. And this Toby character
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: was allegedly again canoodling somebody named what was it was
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the sister of the Spurs backup. So you got Waters
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the third and then you've got Lauren Waters and all that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So this is the real theory I have on why
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: this happened. If you've been around for a few years,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you think, I think you know where I'm going with
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: this this story in that town, it's kosher salt in
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: an open wound. Kosher salt in an open wound. For
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: San Antonio. Here's why the Parisian Torpedo, not the Parisian Prodigy,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the Parisian Torpedo. The Spurs franchise still has PTSD from
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Tony Parker cheating with a teammate's wife. This goes back.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's been seventeen something like that, close to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: twenty years, but I think it's been like sixteen seventeen
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: years since this all went down. If you don't believe me,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: google it so. I know it's a little different because
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: it's a sister of a player, but it's still tamboo.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: How new you new in the Alamo.
• 17:05

• 17:50
  Speaker 1: it's not kind of with baseball. It is a baseball store.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good story. It's not that unusual. We go
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to San Francisco where the Higantes beat the Giants, but
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: This is not about that game. They beat the Rockies.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: That would be odd if they beat themselves. Anyway, Logan Webb,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: who I'm told is a pretty good pitcher for the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: San Francisco baseball team, an All Star, he had a
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: bit of a bad day. I don't know if you
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: saw this or not. Maybe not. The other day the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: baseball team by the Bay there near McCovey Cove played
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays and they somehow lost ten to nothing
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and were getting no hit until the ninth inning. And
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that led to an interaction which ended up with Logan Web,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: who started that game, deleting his ex slash Twitter account
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: in this exchange with a local reporter in the Bay Area. Now,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Web was tattooed early in that game. He allowed five runs,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: including a grand Salami great out, the rime red and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the Mayo Grahama on the mustard and all that's a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: grand Salami tip. So a Bay Area radio guy, I
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: don't know who this guy has posted a video criticizing
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the Giants' performance. You imagine still posting videos about the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Giants at this point in the season. They suck. What
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: are you doing, dude? Anyway? So this guy posted the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: video said, hey, you know, the team's not very good,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and he criticized Logan Web, noting that as the ace,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the fan base expects more consistency. Web was very good
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in the month of June. He has not been very
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: good here. Early on this month, Web responded to the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: fan on social media, saying, you know what's sad is
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: they allow people like you in the locker room now.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Web also replied to other fans and comments were getting
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: screenshotted left and right, and then he decided, I'm going
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to hit the kill switch on this and go kill
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Tony and I'm going to deactivate this account. And so
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: that's what he did. That is a good jumping off point.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question what is your impression of
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the Giants all star Logan Web snapping at a radio
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: guy in the bay and then gleating his ex account.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: So I've got celebrity TV chef, Sprinkles, cupcakes, and theme park,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: all right, and then we get all that and we
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: will put those together and play connect three, not Connect four.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Connect three. But if you're gonna connect three, you always
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: have to start with number one, number one, number Oh
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: what fine? Giving me down low up pot to the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: right to the left. That's so logan Web has gone
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: from cy Young candidate I believe he finished second a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago in the Cy Young race to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: cy log off. Is what he has has transitioned into. Here,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: logan Web went from a guy that had again one
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of accolades in baseball, not a Cy Young winner.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: He was a runner up. Still now he's rage quitting
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the internet like a teenager losing Fortnite or something like that.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Now the rule, the first rule of modern sport, if
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: you cannot take the heat, what do you do? Stay
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: off the social media, Stay away from the social media.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Now it appears that Brandon or branded logan Web logan
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Web has accepted that fate. However, logan Web, the mistake
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: he made was he fired off some parting shots like
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: he ended up deleting his account. However he did that
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: after the fact, after the fact. So the way you
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: do it, it's easier said than done, apparently, is you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: let everyone else scream into the void. The only way
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to be offended by social media is to be on
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: social media. Skip the manufactured outrage, control your impulses, and
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: don't get caught in the echo chamber. And he ignored
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: all that, and logan Web went celebrity TV chef style
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and said, let's kick it up a notch, turning a
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: routine media dusttop into a full blown, tangled web of chaos.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And he really didn't like. Media beefs are nothing new.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: They happen all the time. It's just part of the deal.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I've been in a bunch over the years. It's it's
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: just the way it is. And deleting the account entirely
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: after you've engaged, well, what's the point of that? Right?
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That is a notable escalation of the said situation. When
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: an athlete snaps in a media guy, they lose one
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time right by bickering with a
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: gas bag or blow hard or digital scrap vibe. When
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they do that and then vanishing, you accidentally turn some
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: no name media person into thanos you did. Deleting the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: account becomes a badge of honor. It does or blocking,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And I guess I can't really block people anymore. You can,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: but they can still see your stuff. I haven't blocked
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: by a couple starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Who cares?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: It's funny to me? I think it's great it's empowering
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: in this case logan web empowered this radio Jabbroni. And
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: now listen, he's left caught in that again, that web
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of chaos. And so that's that's the situation. That's the situation,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: all right now Page two to Sundayego we go. That's right,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Sundaye go. And with less than a month ago before
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline is August third, some big names are
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: popping up, popping up like pop tarts on the trade deadline.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of chatter that the Podreys are considering saying
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: bye bye to Mason Miller. They're done with Miller. Tme. Now,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Miller has a era of under one. According to the nerds,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: he's the hardest throwing pitcher in baseball at one hundred
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and one point three miles per hour on average. Sorry, miz,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: so that's going to the baseball stats. He's also arbitration
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: eligible through twenty twenty nine, meaning he's under relatively it's
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: all things relative team control. So the question for the
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: esteem panel, how do you handicap the Podreys, Mason Miller
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and this trade chatter that is circling around here. So
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I got the mallor odds on San Diego dealing their
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: star closer at minus seven hundred. Now, that implies a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: massive over eighty five percent chance that Mason Miller gets
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: shipped out of southern California. And here's why. Now, here's why.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Because the gravy train has officially stopped in America's finest city.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: This is not complicated, even though Poppy's gonna have to
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: cover his ears here in San Diego and our buddy
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: DJ spin because the reason that this is not complicated
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: is the gravy train has stopped, as we said, and
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: it's not really that subtle. The podres are just another
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: item in a private equity portfolio. And that means when
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: you get involved here, you make a deal with the devil,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and that's private equity. Here's what happens, all right. Everything
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: is for sale except the stapler. That's the way this works.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: The new owner, jose E Feliciano, is a private equity guy.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: That's how he made his money. And you can look
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: it up. That word strategy is just a fancy way
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: to say, hey, we're gonna cut costs and we're gonna
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: flip assets, and that's just how we're gonna do it.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: And so if Feliciano, the new owner there in San Diego.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: We're gonna assume, based on his background, he did not
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: buy the team to win baseball games. He bought them
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: because he can make a profit on them. And you
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: can make more money and more money just by reloading
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: and getting rid of certain guys. And even though Mason
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Miller is not making the big money right now, it's
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: still a guy you can get rid of and say, well,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: we're building for the future, and you turn Mason Miller
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: into a line item called realized gains. And private equity
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: has gutted countless businesses, whether it's Red Lobster, Party City,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: TGI Fridays, Sprinkles, Cupcakes, all of them either damaged or
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: destroyed by these weasels and the podres. And there's other
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: teams owned by private equity, the podres of the team
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: we're talking about right now. These businesses eat people like mushrooms.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Mushrooms behind an outdoor urinal uh and in the dark,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and that's it. And they don't do loyalty. They do liquidation.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: That's how they operate. Here and with Miller under Team
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: control through twenty twenty nine, and I would think there'd
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: be a massive bidding war Brewing, the Phillies, the Cubs,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the Yankees, the Brewers, all those teams. We've got Philly
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: on our big board, not a list Terry and England
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: our big board. We have Philadelphia leading the pack. Their
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: bullpen era has been an I soar north of five
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: since the start of last month, June first, And they
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: have Dave the dealer. That's right, wink wink, not not
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski from the old Country. He's a wheeler and dealer.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: He'll trade away those minor league players. Don't give a
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: crap about that. He wants to win right now. I
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: would also think the Cubs and even the Brewers, because
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: of Mason Miller being under team control for a few years,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: would app be circling like vultures. The cub bullpen hadn't
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: been all that great either, all right, now, final point,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: we pivot away from baseball and we go to MSG.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Not the thing you put on food, MSG, the arena,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: and it turns out not very welcoming to everyone at
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the wedding heard round America and around the world a
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago, actually not lesson a week ago. So
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: we are told five confirmed guests of Taylor Swift and
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey at Madison Square Garden July third, So I
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: guess it was a week ago at that wedding. We're
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: actually listed on James Doldin's secret internal talent database. All
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: of these people will mark low risk. However, they were
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: listed on the MSG database where they track anyone and everyone.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Apparently the website called The Wired behind a paywall, they
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: had the story here revealing that Madison Square and Entertainment
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: maintains a secret internal talent database with almost forty thousand
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: entries on celebrities, media figures, politicians, business leaders and their guests,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: and they assign a risk score that influence It kind
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: of influences things in terms of whether the next will
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: give you comp tickets, whether or not they'll even allow
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: you in the building give you access. Now, the names
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that have been mentioned that we're on the list here
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: for James Dolan's MSG Ice Spice, Selena Gomez, what the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: hell did Selena Gomez do? Michael Strahan, Mister Sunshine and
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Lollipops on Morning TV. Michael Strand among others were named
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: now low risk. Well, it's not high risk, it's low risk.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: It still flags whoever the person is that they have
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: done something in public or on social media to draw
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: attention which they deem to be negative attention. Now the question,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: and here it is, what is your perspective on James
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Dolan's Celebrity Naughty List at MSG getting out? So my
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: first thought is, I wonder if I'm on there. I've
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: taken shots at Dolan over the years, and I do
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: go to New York every couple of years. My brother
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: lives in the city, So I wonder if I'm on there.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: They got forty thousand names. I gotta be on there, right,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: that'd be pretty cool. You imagine I buy a ticket
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: to a Knicks game and I can't get in because
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: they did a facial recognition. You're not allowed what really? Okay?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I did a monologue about Dolan three years ago, ripped
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: of Okay, not allowed in. I kind of want to
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: go to a Knicks game now just to see if
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I'm on there. That would be great. This is one
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: of those signs that you know you're rich when your
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: basketball arena has its own version of the CIA. Like
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Dolan didn't just build his MSG. People did not just
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: build a blacklist. He built a surveillance theme park. That's
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: what this is. It's a surveillance theme park turned MSG
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: into Langley, except instead of Langley they have nachos and
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: a team shop, so you've got that as well. And
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: they officially call it the Talent Database is what they
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: call it, which is really adorable branding. It's like Yelp
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: for human beings. It's great, right where the algorithm grades
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: you before you can watch Billy Joel perform for the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: ninety eighth time at MSG. Now, meanwhile, here's the kicker, Dolan,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: who has this list and five of the invitees to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: that wedding. We're on the list. Dolan? Is he attended
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the Swift Kelsey wedding. I wonder if that was part
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: of the deal. Hey, we want to rent out Madison
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Square Garden. This is a Taylor Swift. Oh hi, this
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: is James Dolan. Okay, so you want to rent it out?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: You haveing the wedding. Yeah, we're gonna have the wedding there. Okay,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: So here's how much it costs. Oh, by the way,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I need a ticket. What do you need? We don't
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: know you. Why do you need a ticket? Well, you
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: know JEMI Arena and I need to be there, but
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: you're I don't know you. Okay, all right, we'll invite
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: you and then we'll invite Deano. Okay, sounds good, see
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you here, bye bye, something like that, something like that.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: But that's hypocrisy, right, that's hypocrisy. I believe that is
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: correct there that you only get in the billionaire world,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: especially for a guy who treats privacy like garnish. The
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: real punchline though, you're saying, well, how did this get out?
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: You mentioned wired Mallard, how did this get out? And
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: mix money? So the elite came from a this is great,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: a hacker group called Shiny Hunters that struck after MSG
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: refused to pay a ransom. So they were given an
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: option to listen, we're not gonna we're not gonna embarrass
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: you and put all these names out, and they said, okay,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: we want money, and then MSG said, well, we don't
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: really care, we're not gonna pay you, and so they
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: ended up exposing the celebrity list and also a bunch
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: of ordinary ticket buyers emails and all that stuff. So
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: imagine running though high tech corporate operation like this that
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: just got absolutely panted by a group that sounds like
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: a some kind of Pokemon client or something like that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good. It's pretty good, pretty pretty funny. So
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: that's where we are on that.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Here we go, It's Maller. How about that? To the
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: third degree?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: This is one big bent gets grilled koulou Ben.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: It was reported this week that the quarterback situation in
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Cleveland with Shador Sanders and Deshaun Watson is a problem
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: because it's hard to envision the one who finds himself
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: on the bench being content with the outcome of their competition. Now, Ben,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: do you think whoever finds himself on the bench is
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: going to be a distraction for the Browns?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, of course, But that's the way it always is.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: These guys want to play and is not. If you're
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: not gonna play, it's gonna be a problem, and they'll
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: be DeShawn will be less of a problem. I feel
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: like the Shawn will be less of a problem than
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: should Sanders is gonna be, and they're still a shot.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: They end up trading Shouldar Sanders. It's not like he's
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: all that good anyway. It doesn't matter whether their problems
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: or not, because the Browns are gonna suck, whether these
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: guys are boy scouts or whether they're a holes.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Next, Ben, This year was the first time that the
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: World Cup expanded from thirty two teams to forty eight teams,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: and by most accounts, it was a huge success. Now
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: people are pointing to this, saying that the college football
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Playoffs expanding to more teams will be a success, just
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: like the World Cup. Do you think you can compare
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: those two?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: No, you water It's it in the World Cups every
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: few years. It's not the same as it's just different.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: You're watering down the product is what you're doing in
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the other sports.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Next, I agree with you, Zach Allen. The Broncos. The
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Broncos came close to breaking the sack record, they fell
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: five short. He said, they all expect to do it
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: this year. Would you bet on it? Ben?
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I want to pass Mallard to the third degree coup.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: So in order to pass I think they're gonna double
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: the all time record for sack. Yeah, yeah, you know what.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: You pass Mondays too, all right?
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I passed a Sunday way to go. Yeah, magically delicious.
