0:40
Speaker 1: a smart move. That's the headline, but is it really
0:43
Speaker 1: a smart move? Welcome in the beginning of another hour
0:48
Speaker 1: of the Ben Mallor Show. It is a malar Paloosa
0:52
Speaker 1: kind of night. We are in the air everywhere, as
0:55
Speaker 1: you are alongside as we unlock the magic. This is
0:59
Speaker 1: gonna be the hour that we unlock the magic. Absolutely
1:04
Speaker 1: correct here coast to coast, border to border and beyond
1:08
Speaker 1: on the mast and unrealistically powerful microphones of FSR AMMA
1:15
Speaker 1: nating live from the pit, the Pit of curiosities, that
1:20
Speaker 1: is the Malard Palooza from the Fox Sports Radio Studios
1:23
Speaker 1: as approved. They're listening on the other side, Calligan Tim
1:28
Speaker 1: in Michigan and our friend Rachel Amontibello. You know they're
1:32
Speaker 1: tuning into this on the other you can get to
1:33
Speaker 1: these stage because radio goes out forever. It probably goes
1:36
Speaker 1: to the other side. Anyway, our lead this hour and
1:39
Speaker 1: we will get back to the malaplus. If you're just
1:41
Speaker 1: joining us, We've been on the Red Eye flight all night.
1:45
Speaker 1: It's a Vaudvillian type flight, a lot of entertainment. I
1:49
Speaker 1: say that we're lacking the entertainment. We're trying. We're trying
1:51
Speaker 1: the efforts. This is gonna be the hour. This is
1:53
Speaker 1: like the turning point. This is where it gets good.
1:56
Speaker 1: The Malard Palooza biggest event of the year and overnight
1:59
Speaker 1: sports rate. These are real people, men and women and
2:01
Speaker 1: children that are just like you, and they've stayed up
2:05
Speaker 1: and they've provided us with jokes and comedy, some not
2:09
Speaker 1: funny impersonations, rap. We've had some freestyle we have not had.
2:14
Speaker 1: We did have the beginning act was Milkman, who did
2:17
Speaker 1: some impersonations. We normally get a lot of impersonations. We
2:21
Speaker 1: haven't had any animal impersonations. We've not had that. So
2:25
Speaker 1: there's some things that we've had in the past that
2:27
Speaker 1: we have not had yet. Will that change? Stay tuned
2:29
Speaker 1: developing hot dot dot. So our lead this hour though
2:32
Speaker 1: mini male monologu or lead this hour is from pro
2:35
Speaker 1: Bouncy Ball. And while we were away from the watchtower
2:41
Speaker 1: guarding the overnight, the graveyard shift, there was a move
2:44
Speaker 1: of note. I am told the managers say.
2:47
Speaker 2: You better mention this. You're not gonna mention it. It's
2:50
Speaker 2: a good move. You won't bring it up. You're a hater, okay.
2:54
Speaker 1: So while we were away from guiding you through the overnight,
2:59
Speaker 1: the rare and appropriate night off and then a couple
3:01
Speaker 1: of nights off, so several of you reached out. So see,
3:04
Speaker 1: this is another smart move, savvy move. But let's get
3:08
Speaker 1: to if you missed it, and maybe you did. The Lakers.
3:12
Speaker 1: That's a basketball team, not a good one. So the
3:14
Speaker 1: Lakers added journeyman garden Marcus Smart. They added him over
3:19
Speaker 1: the weekend. You might remember Marcus Smart played with the
3:21
Speaker 1: Celtics and was on some good Celtic teams and won
3:25
Speaker 1: some awards there while he played in Boston. He was
3:28
Speaker 1: just bought out by the Wizards. The Washington Wizards said
3:32
Speaker 1: bye bye, to Marcus Smart because apparently they even have standards.
3:37
Speaker 1: Now the Washington Wizards have standards. What is going on
3:41
Speaker 1: in the world? The Celtics cast off Since leaving Boston,
3:45
Speaker 1: he played in Memphis and in Washington. Now he's headed
3:48
Speaker 1: to La La Land to play for the other team
3:51
Speaker 1: in la And yet again my inbox. When it wasn't
3:55
Speaker 1: Blind Scott filling up my inbox, it was Laker historians
4:00
Speaker 1: convinced yet again that Rob Polenka skinny jeans. Rob Polenka
4:05
Speaker 1: has solved the Rubik's Cube of basketball. And he did
4:09
Speaker 1: it with his eyes closed. What a savvy move, a
4:13
Speaker 1: one historian. I forget the gentleman's name. Maybe I intentionally
4:18
Speaker 1: forget his name, but he wrote.
4:20
Speaker 2: The Clipper's got Bradley Beale and he stinks because he
4:23
Speaker 2: can't shoot anymore. But Marcus Smart he never could shoot,
4:27
Speaker 2: but he'll always be able to play defense. You know
4:29
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. That was the vibe.
4:30
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question is this what grade?
4:36
Speaker 1: What grade do you give the Lakers for adding Marcus Smart?
4:40
Speaker 1: So Remetter, it's a mini mall of monologue. So I've
4:42
Speaker 1: got Lionel Richie and smoke detector and we will combine
4:46
Speaker 1: all these things together and hopefully we'll get an entertaining
4:49
Speaker 1: act in the Mallard Palooza. But first of all, let's
4:52
Speaker 1: start with this Marcus Smart. He's one of those guys
4:56
Speaker 1: that has the name. Does he have the game? And
5:02
Speaker 1: I would argue at this point he doesn't let me
5:04
Speaker 1: translate that in modern tech terms so you can relate
5:09
Speaker 1: to it. The Lakers just added a flip phone. Now,
5:15
Speaker 1: there was a time if you had a flip phone,
5:17
Speaker 1: you were pretty cool, like, oh man, you got a
5:20
Speaker 1: flip phone. But they're adding that, and they're using that
5:24
Speaker 1: in a world with like chat, GPT and all that
5:27
Speaker 1: stuff and folding screens on phones and all that. It's
5:31
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart is a cracked screen type defender in a
5:36
Speaker 1: league that now uses face ID technology. Is what he
5:41
Speaker 1: is is still using the passcodes and all that rotaryfon
5:46
Speaker 1: I can go on a rotary phone and a FaceTime
5:49
Speaker 1: world and all this stuff. Now, listen, Marcus Smart. Are
5:51
Speaker 1: there going to be times where Marcus Smart is a
5:53
Speaker 1: lunatic jumping for loose balls? Absolutely? Is he going to
5:58
Speaker 1: clap his hands like an absolute maniac after making a
6:02
Speaker 1: defensive play forcing a jump ball or something like that.
6:05
Speaker 1: Of course he will. He'll pick up full court defense
6:09
Speaker 1: in in game number forty nine of the regular season,
6:14
Speaker 1: he will play that game like it's Game seven of
6:16
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. He will, all right, And when you
6:20
Speaker 1: give him the ball, though, right, here's the problem. When
6:23
Speaker 1: you give Marcus Smart the ball and the defense, it's
6:26
Speaker 1: like Russell Westbrook, like where the defenses all right, shoot Marcus,
6:32
Speaker 1: shoot Marcus and then que the lionel Ritchie Commodore's tune
6:40
Speaker 1: brick house. Yet one brick after another, right clankny clank
6:45
Speaker 1: clank from Marcus Smart. And so all those hustle plays,
6:52
Speaker 1: all of them go away, because Marcus Smart will absolutely
6:55
Speaker 1: kill you on the offensive side. You are literally playing
6:58
Speaker 1: shorthanded with Marcus Smart. On offense. The man treats the
7:03
Speaker 1: three point line like it's a personal dare, which it
7:06
Speaker 1: often is from the defense, and he keeps shooting. Now,
7:11
Speaker 1: he is one of those glue guys, heart and soul guys.
7:14
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart. That's the kind of player, which is we
7:16
Speaker 1: all know his code for can't shoot. Does other things,
7:20
Speaker 1: but can't shoot, And you don't want to say those
7:23
Speaker 1: other things he can't do out loud, so you just
7:25
Speaker 1: say hustle hert and soul guy, glue guy. But I
7:28
Speaker 1: will give this on the MALA report card. I give
7:31
Speaker 1: this a C a C move impact minimal capital m minimal,
7:39
Speaker 1: minimal impact from Marcus Smart and like all moves that
7:43
Speaker 1: the historians make, like way too much hype, way too
7:49
Speaker 1: much hype. And this is the guy that chut thirty
7:51
Speaker 1: nine percent last season on a bad team. You should
7:56
Speaker 1: always play better on a bad team because somebody's got
8:00
Speaker 1: to score points, and they usually the games are blowouts
8:04
Speaker 1: and they just leave you open. And he still shot
8:07
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent from the field. And yet he's being
8:10
Speaker 1: treated like he maked every three point shot. But yet
8:14
Speaker 1: I when I watched him, even going back to his
8:17
Speaker 1: salad days with the Celtics, and he's a guy when
8:20
Speaker 1: he makes a three pointer, he's like, wow, that's amazing.
8:23
Speaker 1: He doesn't usually do that. You know, he makes one
8:26
Speaker 1: about as often as a birthday candle stays lit when
8:29
Speaker 1: it's in a wind tunnel. Doesn't happen. Now. Secondly, does
8:33
Speaker 1: this addition of Marcus Smart phil a void for the Lakers?
8:40
Speaker 1: Phill the foid? Well, A lot of people are saying yes,
8:42
Speaker 1: this is what they needed. Obviously, I don't believe that.
8:45
Speaker 1: I'm on the other side here. They do need shooting.
8:49
Speaker 1: They need to get a little bit younger, I would
8:52
Speaker 1: say being fair here, got to improve the second unit.
8:55
Speaker 1: There are people saying Marcus Smart's going to be a
8:56
Speaker 1: starting player for the Lakers. I mean, that does not
9:01
Speaker 1: seem like a wise move if he's in your starting lineup,
9:06
Speaker 1: and I mean the second unit. Now you look at
9:09
Speaker 1: the Lakers, they have no depth. JJ Reddick, the podcast guy,
9:14
Speaker 1: remember that playoff game against Minnesota where he just played
9:17
Speaker 1: all of his starters like pretty much the entire second
9:20
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, these guys on the bench blow
9:23
Speaker 1: And I look at the Lakers right now, in that
9:25
Speaker 1: second unit, it still looks like a bad YMCA team
9:30
Speaker 1: on a Thursday night rec matchup. Keep part of that wreck.
9:35
Speaker 1: And so what is Marcus Martin? He is a guy
9:38
Speaker 1: that can't shoot. He is an aging one trick guy.
9:42
Speaker 1: He's a defensive specialist. And that's what you've had it.
9:49
Speaker 1: If he's so vital, so vital, why did Boston ship
9:54
Speaker 1: him out and instantly win a championship without him? When
9:58
Speaker 1: they added Drew Holliday, they got I rid of this guy,
10:00
Speaker 1: and then they went out to Celtics and won a championship.
10:04
Speaker 1: Even though Marcus Smartt was part of the fabric of
10:07
Speaker 1: the Celtics, he had his own Cereal. I remember doing
10:11
Speaker 1: a bit on the show about Wicked Smots, Wicked Smots
10:14
Speaker 1: the Cereal. This guy loved the Celtics so much he
10:18
Speaker 1: dyed his hair green while he played for the Boston Celtics.
10:21
Speaker 1: And yet they got rid of him and they improved
10:24
Speaker 1: so and now he's older, so good luck on that.
10:26
Speaker 1: He went to Memphis, went to Washington and the only
10:31
Speaker 1: other team like Washington, like they're desperate for anyone that
10:35
Speaker 1: knows how to play. At this point, our buddy Rick
10:37
Speaker 1: and Maryland morning time. He's going to be on the Wizards.
10:40
Speaker 1: They're so bad. And they decided here's a guy that
10:43
Speaker 1: was a Defensive Player of the Year in the NBA,
10:46
Speaker 1: one of the highest honors you can get, the MVP
10:49
Speaker 1: of defense, and the Wizards all like you, listen, we
10:51
Speaker 1: don't even want you around here to mentor our g
10:54
Speaker 1: league lottery pick roster. You know all these lottery picks. Oh,
10:57
Speaker 1: I can't miss it until he get the Washington and
11:00
Speaker 1: then most of them suck. So Marcus is thirty one,
11:02
Speaker 1: which is not old turn it's thirty two during the season,
11:05
Speaker 1: but by sports lingo, you're getting up there, and so
11:08
Speaker 1: that's what you do. Well. He brings leadership, okay, so
11:12
Speaker 1: Byron Scott you can bring him back, Magic Johnson, Derek Fisher,
11:15
Speaker 1: they would all bring leadership as well. But this is
11:18
Speaker 1: a desperate move by the Lakers. They the guys they
11:21
Speaker 1: wanted didn't want to play for them, and so they're
11:23
Speaker 1: stuck picking through the discount rack and they're still embarrassed
11:28
Speaker 1: that they wanted Bradley Beal. Everyone wanted him, and he
11:31
Speaker 1: chose the Clippers. He didn't choose the Lakers, he chose
11:33
Speaker 1: the Clippers. So picking Marcus smart up. It's one of
11:38
Speaker 1: those things it feels like you're replacing batteries in the
11:43
Speaker 1: smoke detector and the house is already a blaze, while
11:47
Speaker 1: you're like, maybe I should change the batteries and the
11:49
Speaker 1: smell the houses aren't in fire. I noway, I just
11:53
Speaker 1: want to He will get the crowd hype. There'll be
11:55
Speaker 1: some moments where he looks really good and flashback and
11:57
Speaker 1: all that and wonderful, and you say, you know, hell yeah,
12:00
Speaker 1: let's go. We got Marcus Smart, and I will just
12:03
Speaker 1: sit back and wait. I will sit back and wait
12:05
Speaker 1: because I know Neville, you'll have to if you get
12:07
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Playoffs, you get to the playoffs, that
12:11
Speaker 1: is when he will kill you. He'll break your heart.
12:13
Speaker 1: The offense will stall. Teams will dare Marcus Smart to
12:17
Speaker 1: shoot from pre point range, and he will and he'll miss,
12:21
Speaker 1: and then the Nuggets will go on a fourteen to
12:23
Speaker 1: two run because he keeps missing. And Marcus Smart will
12:28
Speaker 1: jump for loose balls and he might get some of them,
12:32
Speaker 1: but he won't get all of them, and he'll keep
12:35
Speaker 1: shooting rather than past the ball to luc Will. He
12:39
Speaker 1: will take over the game and clank atty clank just
12:44
Speaker 1: all over the place. So good luck with that. It
12:47
Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahlor Show. It is the Mallor Palooser
12:51
Speaker 1: all right, for the Malor Palooza. We will continue on.

20:25
Speaker 1: I thought he was charming. I thought he was polite,
20:27
Speaker 1: he was nice. He's a super fan of the show,
20:30
Speaker 1: and he kind of this guy stays up every night
20:32

21:11
Speaker 9: know for a fact he was not playing the instruments
21:13
Speaker 9: in the song. As far as I'm concerned. Yeah, he's

25:09
Speaker 1: enjoy that. The Reverend Ray has been a big support
25:12
Speaker 1: of the show for many, many years, and I was
25:14
Speaker 1: going to give him a zero, but I did like
25:18
Speaker 1: the fact the dog was so upset. The dog kept
25:20
Speaker 1: barking to try to get him to shut up. So
25:22
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a three. I'm gonna I'm gonna
25:24
Speaker 1: give him three. Lorena, Oh my gosh, the dog.
25:27

25:29
Speaker 9: like it added so much more, especially since the whole
25:32
Speaker 9: thing was about weed, Like I imagine the dog just
25:35
Speaker 9: stoned out of its mind.
25:37
Speaker 1: Right secondhand smoke. Yeah.
25:39
Speaker 9: Yeah, so due to their duo and we weren't expecting
25:42
Speaker 9: another animal in the tonight dog, Yeah, I'm gonna go
25:46
Speaker 9: for a six.
25:47
Speaker 1: I loved it.
25:49
Speaker 11: I loved it.
25:49
Speaker 1: Oh my Cooper Loop, Please are your thoughts here, Coop?
25:53
Speaker 1: On the Reverend Ray.
25:54
Speaker 15: Green, I liked the Little the Little Prelude. I felt
25:59
Speaker 15: like that actually had kind of better flow and rhyme
26:02
Speaker 15: than the song itself. But then ever since Inkatara said
26:06
Speaker 15: the Bob Dylan, I'm kind of I hear that. I
26:10
Speaker 15: hear the folks see in the lyrics, and his voice
26:16
Speaker 15: is just about as good as Bob Dylan's. So wow,
26:21
Speaker 15: I enjoyed it. And you know what, come on, don't
26:24
Speaker 15: do it my fellow Stoner brother. I'm gonna give him
26:27

Speaker 1: of score cards and we go back to Inka terror
28:32
Speaker 1: and she had some music in the buggers you're singing.
28:35
Speaker 1: I thought it was actually compared to what's happened recently,
28:38
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty good.
28:39
Speaker 6: I agree, I agree. You know, my my only my
28:43
Speaker 6: only problem. Is. I mean, she was, well, she's intentionally
28:46
Speaker 6: referencing America's team there, and I don't know what that was,
28:50
Speaker 6: but that's a great song. I'm going to give her
28:52
Speaker 6: a six and a half.
28:54
Speaker 1: Six and a half from Inka Terror. Well, boy, what

29:19
Speaker 1: three by me, but it was not I was not great.
29:23
Speaker 1: I'll give it a five. I'll give it a five. Arena.
29:25
Speaker 9: You know, I love my cowboys, Ben. Maybe that was

29:32
Speaker 9: pushed from your diaphragm. Get that force in there.
29:35
Speaker 1: I want you to feel it down your feeling bo
29:38
Speaker 1: saying yeah, but.

30:06
Speaker 1: it's a tough night. Yeah, but where are the animal impersonations?

30:12
Speaker 1: you need the Boston Burper?
30:14
Speaker 4: You know?
30:15
Speaker 15: Like like the acts that we've had comparatively Voice of
30:18
Speaker 15: an Angel. But you know, I'm partial to parodies and
30:24
Speaker 15: I would have liked to hear like a bon Jovi
30:27
Speaker 15: parody with Ben Maller lyrics.
30:30
Speaker 1: That's right, original lyrics that would have helped absolutely.
30:33
Speaker 15: So yeah, I would have given more points if it
30:35
Speaker 15: was something like that.
30:36
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with six six all right, very good? Well,
30:40
Speaker 1: thank you Kelly in de Moine. I appreciate you taking
30:43
Speaker 1: part in it. It's not easy to get up here
30:44
Speaker 1: on stage and perform, and you're doing that. It's the
30:47
Speaker 1: Malad Paloser twenty twenty five. As we continue our next
30:49
Speaker 1: act up, a last minute addition to the show, and
30:53
Speaker 1: he's in Camsuh City. You're welcome in man that loves
31:01
Speaker 1: alcohol and loves to tell you about his love of alcohol.
31:04
Speaker 1: Our next act up, a guy that never misses a
31:07
Speaker 1: chance to rip the Patriots and Tom Brady because he
31:10
Speaker 1: loves Patrick Mahomes and the chiefs keg drinking Steve is.
31:15
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, it's about to get a lot for man here.
31:20
Speaker 12: You ain't seen nothing yet.
31:22
Speaker 6: You put the.
31:23
Speaker 14: APV call out like Bruce Wayne Batman's here to save
31:27
Speaker 14: you with the with the animal calls. We're gonna do uh,
31:31
Speaker 14: We're gonna do hog calling tonight, the annual hog call,
31:35
Speaker 14: the annual Ben Maller hog Call. All right, the greatest
31:40
Speaker 14: show on Earth, the Malapalooza twenty twenty five.
31:44
Speaker 12: Okay, here we go. When it's whole calling time on
31:51
Speaker 12: Ben Meller, When it's whole calling time on the Mailler,
32:04
Speaker 12: when it calling time y? Is it time calling Dome?
32:12
Speaker 12: Now it's Tall calling dime on Ben ballor o Lona?
32:22
Speaker 8: Is the decree.
32:25
Speaker 12: Bronco Ben entering the calls from the militia wa Ben
32:33
Speaker 12: cheating at game shows where he goes no one knows.
32:41
Speaker 12: Then it's Tall calling dime on Ben Ballard twenty five.
32:49
Speaker 18: On Colora is cake drinking Steeve there from Kansas City?
33:02
Speaker 1: Ain't good? Terror your thoughts on our next? I knew
33:05
Speaker 1: that good?
33:09
Speaker 16: Yeah?
33:12
Speaker 6: Last factor.
33:13
Speaker 3: I'm giving it a seven seven.
33:15
Speaker 1: All right, listen, here's a deal. He did not sign
33:18
Speaker 1: up Key Drinking Steve. He was not supposed to be
33:20
Speaker 1: part of this. He's a last minute substitution. He's on
33:22
Speaker 1: he was on standby, and so he didn't plan this out.
33:26
Speaker 1: He had said he might do it, and we didn't
33:28
Speaker 1: put him on the list and all that stuff. So
33:31
Speaker 1: I thought it was much more in line with what
33:33
Speaker 1: we want from the talent show. I thought the malapalooza,
33:36
Speaker 1: this is more about it. You know, we want animal sounds,
33:38
Speaker 1: we want original kind of lyrics and all that. So
33:41
Speaker 1: I am going to give it an eight point five,
33:43
Speaker 1: eight point five Larina.
33:46
Speaker 9: Great score there, benh Yeah, No, I thought that was
33:48
Speaker 9: absolutely fantastic. I was laughing the whole time. His pig
33:52
Speaker 9: it almost sounded like a holler in James snort.
33:55
Speaker 1: It was pretty good.
33:55
Speaker 9: I was like, are you going to choke? Are you
33:57
Speaker 9: going to choke? And then he kept going, yes, kept
34:00
Speaker 9: on going. The squeal was amazing.
34:02
Speaker 1: So let's let's give him.
34:04
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm right up with you.
34:05
Speaker 1: Let's go for an eight and eight. All right, eight,
34:09
Speaker 1: what about you, Coop.
34:13
Speaker 15: I'm also I was also impressed with the fact that
34:15
Speaker 15: this was like a spur of the moment thing.
34:18
Speaker 1: It was pretty funny.
34:19
Speaker 15: I was laughing, much to my chagrin, because I do
34:23
Speaker 15: think ket drinking Steve is one of the most annoying callers.
34:26
Speaker 1: That we have.
34:26
Speaker 15: He's pretty bad. Yeah, can't can't stand him. So I
34:32
Speaker 15: might be a little bit biased. I maybe would have
34:34
Speaker 15: given a higher score if not for those things. I
34:36
Speaker 15: know I should be judging just on the you know,
34:39
Speaker 15: performance itself. I'm gonna give a seven. A seven, all right.
34:42
Speaker 1: My wife suffers from missophony, as she said it was
34:44
Speaker 1: a five because she was annoyed by the sound. All right,
34:47
Speaker 1: very nice. We'll hold on there, incertear. We have I
34:51
