• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Ding Dong.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Here it is our numb ber too, our number two.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: It's the hour of Wemby. At least at the start.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Are we getting the whole story on Wemby's blood clots
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: heard around the world, his situation with the Spurs, and
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: what does this mean for Victor Wimbanyama's future.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: The Spurs are very optimistic. They think everything's gonna be fine.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: And I remember when Chris Bosh had this happen, people
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: were optimistic he'll be back, and he never really was
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the same. Also, did the Lakers have alternative motives invoiding
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the Mark Williams trade with the Hornets? We will discuss
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: that as well, and who knows what else? Right now
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: here it is our number two and another one out
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: out out.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: That's all that happens in this sport. They're all getting hurt.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Well, come in the beginning of another hour of the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere as
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: we talk continuously, and we keep on talking all night long,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: coast to coast, border to mood and beyond. On the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: mast and flavorfully powerful microphones of fs are am monating
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: live from the eye the eye of the audio hurricane.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrackt
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: dot com will help you get there an unmatched selection,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: fast tree shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: thousand recommended in stars tyract dot com the way tire
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: buying should be. I know random Ryan in Carolina loves
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the number ten thousand.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So our lead this.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Hour is from the Injury Tent and pro Bouncy. But
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: we'll get back to the hockey stuff later. I did
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: do a top of the hour Mallon monologue, the rare
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and appropriate hockey monologue. As Connor McDavid spoiled the party.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Everyone was all dressed up, ready to celebrate, and it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: kind of like a presidential election and you're at the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: headquarters of the candidate and you think they're going to win,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and then they don't win, and so it's that awkward thing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It's that awkward thing. But again went to overtime.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Connor McDavid wo wins at Canada, wins the Four Nations,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: but are they? This hour is from the Alamo. That
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: didn't turn out too well either in the Alamo. So
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: if you haven't heard this basketball story, I assume you
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: know by now, but maybe not. The man that has
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: been anointed the face of the NBA, even though he's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: not quite face of the NBA yet.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Team blows and they're gonna suck some more.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: The San Antonio Spurs have lost star player Victor Wembanyama
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the season. Turnout the last the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: parties over he's doing. Now, this is not your standard
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: NBA injury. No, no, this is like next level what
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: happened here? As we are told that Wembanyama, who we
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: last saw cheating in the All Star weekend, is out
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? In layman's terms, it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Means the Parisian prodigy has a blood clot which was
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: discovered after Wembanyama attempted to cheat and skills competition didn't
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: get away with it the NBA All Star Game.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Now, the condition.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Is supposedly the way you treated with blood thinners. And
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: as I've learned over the years from athletes that have
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: had similar situations, if you are on blood thinners, you're
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: not allowed to participate in contact sports because.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: If you start bleeding, you are screwed.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So when you're on the blood thinners, now the Spurs
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: are very optimistic.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: They think this is nothing.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: They're like, Oh, when Banyama will recover, he'll be ready
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to go for next season. They're not worried about any
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: kind of long term health ramifications.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: The acting coach.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Of the Spurs, a guy named Mitch Johnson, whoever that is,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: said that the medical staff there in San Antonio said
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: that the Parisian prodigy long term outlook is not impacted
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: at all by what they just called the setback. Okay,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: so let us discuss are we getting the whole story
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: on Wemby's situation with the Spurs? Are we getting the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: full story here with what's going on with Wemby? So
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I've got music, factory, creepy pasta, and wool socks, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: are going to kick some tail, is what we're going
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to do. So na burn I said, nam.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: We're getting a version.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Of the truth from the San Antonio Spurs. I do
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: not believe we're getting the whole truth. Definitely, nothing but
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the truth. It feels a little bit like the classic
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: scene from an old movie in Hollywood called the Naked Gun.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Move on.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Nothing to see here, Please disperse? Are you sure that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: everything's sunshine, rainbows and lollipops. The man that is the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: franchise has blood clots. Like I get that being optimistic
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: is nice, and you're supposed to be optimistic. However, we
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: know that every situation is different, and Wemby has already
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: been propped up.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He's been put on.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: A pedestal on a dog Food Spurs team as the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: future of the NBA, the heir to the throne and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: all that E's gonna genuflect to Wemby for years to come.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: But he's got blood clots.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: This is a condition that is most common among those
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: over the age of sixty. And if you look at
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the factors, and I did a minutes long mallor investigation here,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: it's a condition that generally.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Happens we get older.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And among the factors that increase your risk are let's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: check these here, obesity, pregnancy, having a surgery, blood clotting disorders,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and a lot of sitting around not being active at all.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: So this is where you cue the CNC Music Factory.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: There things that make you go hmm, things that make
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you go So, unless I checked, Wemby isn't fat. We
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: don't think he's pregnant, although maybe he needs a test,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and I don't believe there's any kind of recent surgery.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? All right now? Page two.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: So the Spurs think everything's wonderful, rainbow lollipops, all that,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: But what does this mean for Victor Wimbanyama in the future.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: This our perspective, So I would say, unlike the optimism,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: this is TBD TBD. It's a case by case basis.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Brandon ingram is I believe in Toronto now. But he
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: had this happen. I think it was with the Lakers
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: when it happened and he was able to come back.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Chris Bosh his career was absolutely derailed because of the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: blood clots and the blood thinners and underlying conditions that
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: they didn't know about, and then they knew about it
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and all that. So again, based on a couple of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: clicks here and there, everyone I know is different, right,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: You're different than me, even though we're all kind of
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the same crap. You know the same space does Everyone's
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: wired different? And so deep vein thrombosis can be deadly,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: can actually be deadly. A blood clot goes to your lungs,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: or your heart and its lights out. We lost one
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: of my colleagues at Fox Sports Radio who had blood
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: clots and it led to a heart attack and unfortunately
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: crossed over the pearly gates, and so it can be
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: a deadly thing. It's a very serious thing. And we
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: don't know everything. I don't even spurs know everything. How
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: could they possibly know everything. I'm just trying to be
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: optimistic and speak that into the reality here. But you
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: don't know if there's some other underlying situation that could
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: affect him long term. And you cannot predict what's gonna
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: happen with a case like this based on the fact
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: everyone's different. And it's not like a broken leg. You
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: know everyone you break, You break your leg, you kind
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: of know what to do with You got that pretty
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: down pat You break.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Your hand, they know how to handle it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: But when by Yama, you look at him from Afar
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and it's like creepy pasta the internet meme there, Slenderman
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Wenby is needle thin, he's unnaturally tall, and I think
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: he's a humanoid.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: He might be a lizard person. Now, meanwhile, there's a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: lot of that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Is going to change hands because of this, because had
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Wemby continued to play, he would have been would have
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: been the Defensive Player of the Year.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: He is not going to qualify.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: He's not going to get to sixty five games required
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: for that to happen, So he's not going to be
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the Defensive Player of the Year, and that means that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: money will be shifting around the NBA, either to Memphis
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: or to Cleveland most likely.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: You know what does that mean?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: So Jaren Jackson, junior of the grizz and he is
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: he's in the running right now to get that trophy
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: He would become eligible to.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Sign a three hundred and forty five million dollars Supermax
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: contract based on winning that award this year.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: And then Evan Mobley, who.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Is on I believe he's on the rookie extension with
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Cleveland he signed last offseason. That would go from two
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty four million to two hundred and sixty
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: nine million.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: So if you do the math on.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: That, that's a lot, right, that's over forty five million
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: dollars more because Wemby got blood clots, So somebody's either
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: gonna get forty five million extra or three hundred and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: forty five million money money, money, money, money, money. All right,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: final point drama, O rama, drama, O rama, dateline, North Carolina.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: But actually the NBA Road Hornet Center. Mark Williams, the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: man that was never a Laker but almost was. Mark Williams,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: does not believe that the trade that was vetoed to
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the Lakers should have been voided.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Based on his physical condition.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: He said, quote, I don't think it was solely because
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: of my physical now. Williams also posted a collage a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: collage of photos on the social with the caption There's
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: always peace when you know the truth.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You also had the agent Slightly, the agent.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: For the Hornet Center, who issued a statement disputing disputing
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the Lakers decision to fail the physical leading to the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: trade that was rescinded a couple weeks back. All right,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: So question did the Lakers have ulterior motives invoiding the
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Mark Williams trade with the Lakers?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: So I'm nodding my head. Yes.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you can answer it any other way.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: And obviously Williams is biased, the agent is biased. Everyone's
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: got their own skin in the game in this. I
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: don't but the implication by Williams is there's other stuff
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: going on, and I'm going yes, And really what's needed
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: here is wolf socks because the Lakers got cold feet.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: When you get cold feet, you need wolf socks to
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: warm you up. They were worried about Williams going snap,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: crackle pop. That is part of it, but they were
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: also worried that they were giving way too much up
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: for a guy who's damaged.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Goods and that will would liked to have had him.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: They're like, oh, we can't really give all this stuff
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: up because we got anet other stuff. And then so
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: they cooked up some kind of PaperWorks in that food.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: And as I have learned over my years on this
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: planet doing marginal overnight sports talk radio, in the big
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: business of professional sports, the industrial complex of professional sports
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: in North America, if you want a player that has
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: some issues, shall we say, with their body, you got
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: to go shopping. It's called doctor shopping. You get the
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: guy that finished last in medical school. And if you
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: have to, you go to another country and you find
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: some doctor that got his medical degree on a website
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and you have that doctor signed the hippocratic oath that
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: your player is ready to go.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden they passed the physical now
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: vs V.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: If you don't want a player, it's very easy to
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: find a red flag and veto a trade and say, wow,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: we don't know about that precede that direction.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So again it comes down to what your agenda is.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: What is your agenda? This isn't the Lakers. They made
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the trade.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: At the time they made the Trailery're like, oh, man,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: even though this guy gets hurt all the time, this
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Mark Williams guy, he's perfect. I mean, you told me
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: we had a guy call up. Who's I think he
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: was a Hornets fan. Oh, this is this guy's gonna dominate.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Mark Williams is so good.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: By the time we got done with that phone call,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I thought that the Lakers had acquired Jokic from the Nuggets,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: that Williams was that good, and then they veto the trade.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: So something else going on there. Did Lebron make a
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: phone call? Did Lebron say, wait a minute, you can't
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: do this. Well, sorry, Lebron, it's Luca's team. Now we
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: can do whatever we want. We'll keep an eye on that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: That story is not done. That story is not done
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: by a long shot. There will be more on that story.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I will guarantee that the dirt's gonna come out. I
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: can also guarantee you that the stories will come out
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: about Lua being depressed and overeating when he got to
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the Lakers. I envisioned that I was flipping around after
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the hockey game and I turned on the Lakers were
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: playing Portland and Luca now they were up.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: They were wearing the road unifors. Luca didn't play in
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: You know, when you're in your mid twenties, you can't
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: be expected to play back to back games. So Luca
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: sat out out of an abundance of caution. And he
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: even looked fat in his street clothes, but he looks
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: fatter when he wears that yellow Home Laker uniform.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's not good. It's not good.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: It is the Ben Maler Show, which we hope is good.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: If you'd like to be part, you can join us
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: right now. We'll open up the lines for this hour,

  Speaker 2: up for that. Now straight ahead. It is very rare
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: that one of the most famous athletes in North American
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: and I don't think I'm exaggerating this just randomly admits
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that they tested positive for cocaine, one of the most
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: beloved athletes.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: And this is not some guy.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Back in the eighties, everyone was snorting coke, all right,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I say that metaphorically obviously, but a lot of the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: star athletes were doing the coke back in the eighties.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: But it's that's forty years ago. And this is a
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: guy that was not even around in the in the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: eighties as a professional athlete. But as admitted, they failed
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: a they tested positive for cocaine. We've got the audio

• 17:48
  Speaker 2: new edition of Mallor to.

  Speaker 1: Degree that'll be coming up a little bit later. Wow,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and they are late.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Night drug tester says, blood clots sound pretty far fetched.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I think the.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Spurs are in the tank for Cooper flag mode. Or
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: if the blood clots are real, then Wemby got them
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: from load management. Right, there's a late night drug tester
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: checking in. Well, it is the formula the Spurs used.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: They had a player named David Robinson, the Admiral as
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: he was nicknamed, who was a very good player, and
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: then he had this back injury and he couldn't play,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, the Spurs ended up
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: winning the draft lottery and they got this guy named
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Tim Duncan, and then they dominated the NBA for a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: number of years.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: They did.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see Jeremy in Minnesota says welcome back. Anthony
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Antman Edwards to being the face of the NBA. Yeah,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: he just said the other.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Day he's not the face of the NBA.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Surprise, surprise, Yeah, Shane in de Moin rites In says Ben.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers versus Cubs and the new ABS moved the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: needle for me like a phone call from Gunner A
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: plus plus on the opening monologue. Now that was entertained. Well,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you approved Shane and des Moines. And our
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: friend Kelly used to be Donut Kelly, now des Moines Kelly.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: So we appreciate that. And I did watch a little
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of a Dodger Cup game.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Check that out for a little bit.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And the guy that the Dodgers signed to a minor
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: league contract, the guy that looked like a child of
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: like Willie Mays, Pete Rose, Tony Gwinn, they hit a
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: home run. The Dodgers lost that game, and I think
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: there are season's over I think Dave Roberts should be fired.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: They lost the Cactus League game to the Cubs. Clearly
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: this team is overrated. They're full of themselves, They're they're
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: not taking these games seriously. They're lack of daisical the Dodgers,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: and this is just a preview of coming attractions, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: it makes me want to puke in my mouth. It
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: makes me want to puke in my mouth that the
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Dodgers can't go out there and play a complete spring
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: training game. It's a bad job by them, any meanie,
• 20:00

• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's for sure. Hey, So I had to call

• 20:43
  Speaker 5: She definitely has one of the most beautiful voices that
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: you can ever imagine. She's such a kind hearted soul
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: and scene so, but it was funny last night that
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: she got She was like a spitfire. I love that
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: in her when she was defending the basketball players that
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: she do, and she does have some sports knowledge. We
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: got to give her some credit. So she's an all
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: right overall catch.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Anybody, let's not get let's not get carried.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Rna is the girlfriend keeper and the marrying type.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I'm starting to lean towards Kooper Loop on this now. Cooper,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I think we need to have an intervention here. That's
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: a little much, okay, I mean I feel like I
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: need to take a shower.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: My god, what are you guys doing?
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: That's that's just me the mojo. Rizen has always been
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: a big flirt man. I come on, who as a
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: man doesn't love women, beautiful women. Come on, It's the
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: greatest thing in life, man, besides sports. That's men.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: We love sports, besides we love women. Well, some would
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: put women ahead of that, but I don't know. I'm
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: an other. You know, I guess that's some people are
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: into it. But it's all good. I don't know what
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: do you want me to say? I'm fine, Okay, you
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: said it? What else?
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Anyway, mister Ben that isn't what I really call that.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: I just want to call in and say that I
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: agree with almost everything you say. I agree about to
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: take with the guy from the Lakers. They they for
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: whatever reason, I think they figured out that the connect
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: kid might be really good and they wanted to keep them.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: And the whole thing was like I've seen that on
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: the sports thing earlier, and I was like, we're in
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: the heck did this come from out of nowhere? Limby's
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: got blood clot and he's going to be out for
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: the rest of the season, Like he just played in
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: the in the Allstar weekend, right, So it's like, holy mackerel.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: So I agree with you on that. And then the
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Canada thing, right with hockey and all this kind of stuff.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: I'm not the biggest hockey fan of the world. I'm
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: out here in the area, so I love the Sharks,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: but right now they're crappy, so it's hard to like
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: a winning team. But those people are in Canada, that's
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: their number one sport and they love hockey. They're dedicated
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: to hockey. Hey, and you know the United States, Well,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: what can you say? It was a great game. I
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: did watch it most of it, Like you said, I
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: was kind of like to you, I maybe flipping back
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: and forth to the basketball, but the games was blowout
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: selfings were blowing out the sixers and all this kind
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: of stuff. But overall then you are the greatest. And
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: the other thing when when they introduce you guys and
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: they have all this stuff, you're way too far down
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: on the list. You should be way ahead when they
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: started announcing all the guys from as one.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Let's can you call Imagery and Coop and make sure
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: they put me ahead of Cowhard and Dan Patrick and
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: those idiots. I should be at the very front there.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you? All right, be good. There's the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: great Modro rise. We're gonna meet Mojo. We're gonna do
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a Bay area.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Meet and greet at some point here at the bar
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: in Oakland, assuming Alameda Lou comes back to the show.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: I know he calls in and he gets depressed and
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: he stops calling for a while, but assuming Alameda Lou
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: still has that standing offer, at some point here in
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, usually spring, we start doing Mallard meet
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and greets through the summer, and then typically don't do
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: much during football season. So we've got a few months
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: to play with to do Mallard meet and greets this year.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: So we'll figure that out as we go forward.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: But we got an amazing audio here, amazing audio.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Do we have this? Cueuede up? Is this thing ready
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: to go?
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Here?
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Cooper loop? Do we have this audio? Good to go?
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: It is?
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Lorena says, we do all right.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: So this goes back to the nineteen ninety six Olympics
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Team USA.
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: I remember that one.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there was a player by the name of
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Shaquille O'Neill who had a big revelation. Randomly, unexpectedly, Shaquille
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: O'Neal spilled the tea on TNT.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Take a listen.
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: Olympics ninety sixth Atlanta. They told us not to eat
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: before you take the drug tests. I take the poppy
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: seed you know, you remember chugging that you got to
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: stand alive for three far hours. I see them poppy
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: seed muffins. I Horace Boma come to the room and
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: said that I'm disappointing. I tested positive for cocaine, and
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: I was like, oh, hello, hello, hello. First of all,
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: the sergry kill me. My mother killed. I've never done
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: notthing like that. Then they did the research on the
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: poppy seed muffins had the same derivatives as cocaine. So
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: that's the only problem I have with Like, you know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: the NBA said, they tell you not to take this,
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: this and that, but something and that not on the
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: list can be a derivative of something that you're not
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: put to take it, and you can messle that.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: One, all right.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Shaquille O'Neal admitting I failed a cocaine test, but it
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: was because of poppy seed muffins.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: So I have a question.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Shaquille O'Neal is one of the five biggest human beings
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I've ever been in the room with.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Back when I covered the NBA.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: The biggest people I've ever been around in my life
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: were Shaquille O'Neal, Yao Ming, George mirrasan minute Bowl although.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: He was skinny, but he looked like it was like
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a spider man.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: These are all old NBA players because I'm old, But
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Shack one of the biggest people. So how many poppy
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: seed muffins would Shack have to eat to trigger a
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: cocaine test?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Seriously, what he's thinking?
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: You'd have to have like a whole dozen.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Right, like a box right, like a whole.
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: He was a big man. He might eat that many muffins.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I believe him. Though we've all heard the poppy seed
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: But don't you think Shack's the kind of person that
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: would be like, I don't know if he did it,
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: he would say it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh yeah, I don't think Shack did cocaine. Yeah, no, no,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I don't mean that. But I'm just like the whole thing.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Well, did you see the other story about Shaq that's
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: going around? Oh, this is good.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: So Jason Richardson, I gotta see if I can say
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: this on the air. I don't know if I can
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: say this, So I'm gonna clean this up for the radio,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: because you know, there's a lot of kids listening this
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: time in the night.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I am in the safe harbor.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I just did my my iHeart training and
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I'm in the safe harbor, so I think we're allowed
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: to talk about this. So Jason Richardson was playing with
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Shaquille O'Neil and said Shack at one point took a
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: teammate's mouthpiece and decided the mouthpiece needed a resting place.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: In his tushy. Yeah.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: He then took a he took a toothbrush, and he
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: also kind of stirreted around his Badonka donk and according
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: to Jason Richardson, he he pulls a mouthpiece out of
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: the tukis he put it in lou Emonton's locker and he.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Then grabbed the toothbrush into the same thing.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: But but the teammate anditson unknowingly used the mouthpiece in
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: a game. He used the mouthpiece that had been sullied
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: by Shaquielle's dairy air in a game, and he said
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the entire team was dying laughing during the game. He's
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: got the cleanest ash, I would hope so. But the
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: then Matt Barnes informed the teammate there that anything in
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: your locker you should probably throw away because it's been
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: in Jack's tuckas you think they still do pranks like that.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I know somebody did that to me. I don't want
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: to punch him, but I know in the old days,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: they used to put like the popcorn or the packing
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: those packing peanuts and cars.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: They'd fill them all the way up.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: And I know for a fact because when I was
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: around those guys back in the day. If you put
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: those giant bags of buttered popcorn in a car. It
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: totally destroys the leather interior in the car.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Gosh, as you might have met someone to do that.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: You'd have to use the unbuttered popcorn.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Like that's well, let's just say some of these guys
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: aren't the brightest guy's cool and they just got massive
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: amounts of popcorn and they put it in there. And
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: but even if you I think, even if you use
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: the unbuttered there's still oil in it, right, so the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: oil would probably mess it up anyway. And I don't
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: care how good a car do you tell her you
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: are if the entire car is filled.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You get a BMW.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Or Mercedes or something like that and it's filled all
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the way up with popcorn, Like, what do you do?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You know, you just rip everything out and put new
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: stuff in? Is that Is that the move on?
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: No?
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: I think you go to a drive in movie and
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: you watch like five in a row and eat.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: All the popcorn?
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Is that the move I think that's the only option.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: You have to know what I'm saying, Like the cars covered,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: it's damage at that point, enjoy the car has been These.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Are expensive automobiles, these cars, I mean, this is not
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: it's not.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: The insurance would cover that, right, popcorn damage?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because insurance companies never fight you on any
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: claim at all. They never they we greatything about insurance
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: is when you need it, they really want to give
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: it to you. And they never try to give you
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: you know, low ball stuff. You know, they never try
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: to do that at all. Anyways, go back to the calls,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, everyone needs an expert.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Everyone needs a guy.

• 29:25
  Speaker 2: taco guy, you need a burger guy. And for us,
• 29:29

• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he said. I hope I didn't

• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I couldn't make it out. He was mumble, and he
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: he does not believe in pauses. He does not believe
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: in periods. Definitely, Yeah, absolutely, let's see here, page down,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: page down. Truck Or Joe writes and says, I call
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: bs on Shack because poppy seeds are in the opium family,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: not cocaine leaves two different drugs.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: No, I've heard. I don't know if it's.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: True, but I know it's urban legend that if you
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: eat poppy seeds. My dad used to joke poppy seed bagels.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I'm doing my coke, mister irrigation, says Ben. Those damn
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: poppy seeds made me test positive too. Signed Actually was
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: a Lane that sent that in?
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: Wait, do you think Shack maybe started that rumor? Then
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: that conspiracy theory like theory that I think that uh
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: whoever tweeted that, they're I think they're right about that.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: Actually, really, yeah, you would test positive for opiates?
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Oh all right, interesting.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, the plot thickens, big grig Rob Wright Sin says, Ben,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: you can't test positive for cocaine from poppy seeds. You
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: can't test positive for opium from poppy seeds, but you
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: can test positive for cocaine from cocaine. Oh interesting, Right,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: maybe somebody gave Shack, maybe he met opium. Oh, maybe
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: he screwed up.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, now I'm not too sure.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Oh what woa it is Atlanta?
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: They liked to party in Atlanta? Was that place? Rob
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: likes Magic City or whatever?
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: I mean, look that and actually that was a long
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: time ago. And maybe he just misremembered what they said
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: he tested positive for because he didn't actually do any drugs.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Jeremy in Minnesota says, now I know I eat six
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: of these a day. And he's talking about the the
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: poppy seed muffins. Yeah, late night drug tester says, eating
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: poppyseed muffins before drug test.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Could give you elevated levels of morphine.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: But properly executed drug tests shouldn't, he says, And this
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: guy's in the drug business should not give you a
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: positive result for cocaine.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: So he's really my drug guy. I just said Jed,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: who fled because he's on the radio.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: He calls in, but this late night drug tester stays
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: up all night testing drugs. Thus the name, he says,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: probably executed. Drug test shouldn't give you a positive result
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: for cocaine. That is why there is usually a secondary
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: testing from a different lab to confirm the original test. Okay,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: all right, it's opening up a whole Pandora's box. One
• 34:42

• 37:54
  Speaker 4: The third degree. This is one big Ben gets qrilled.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Kupulu.
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: It was reported this week that the NFL is concerned
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: that criticism of current NFL officials will cause potential future
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: NFL officials to never choose to become officials. Ben, is
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: this a legitimate concern?
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: No, it's stupid.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Listen, if you pay somebody enough money, you imagine if
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: that's your full time job, all you have to do
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: is officiate twenty games a year. Eventually they'll start playing
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: twenty games a year. But right now, even if you
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: say a couple exhibition games, that can play eighteen games,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: so it is twenty and then you're gonna have playoff games.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: But sign me up for that.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Come on, you get to be in the stadium, on
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: the field with our gladiators.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Come on, it's ridiculous. I know the criticism. Who cares
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: about it? For that? They pay him a decent amount
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: of money. Of course they'll do it next Olympia.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: Noah Lyles told NBC News that he hopes this race
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: with Tyreek Hill will help keep track relevant outside of
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: the Olympics. From a marketing standpoint, Ben, do you think
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: it'll accomplish that?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I hate to be Debbie Downer here, but
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: that is what's known as a one off. Yeah, for
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: that night, that day, people will be excited Noel Lyles
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: versus Tyreek Hill. And as soon as that event ends,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: people will forget about track and field until the next Olympics,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: and then they'll pay attention because it's only relevant during
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: the Olympics in America.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know about the rest of the country. I
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: don't know rest the world. Rather, I don't live in
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: the rest of the world, but I know in America.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: We care about our track and field for a couple
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: of weeks during the Summer Olympics, and then that's about it.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: Next, it was reported yesterday that LeVar Ball had to
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: get his foot amputation.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: You saw that, Yeah, yeh, LeVar Ball.
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, medical issues. Now, Ben, if you if you had to,
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: if you got to choose, would you amputate a hand
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: or a foot?
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, So this is a gooulish question, Cooper Loop And
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: as LeVar would.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Say, stay in your lighting. But I would obviously.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Pick a foot because you know, you usually you can
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: move around a little bit, get a fake foot.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: The hand you use, all the hand, hand, hand, coop hand,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: he passes.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: I won.
• 39:58

• 40:01
  Speaker 5: Never
