Speaker 2: and rule here in hour number two, it's all about
0:12
Speaker 2: a dispute in trademark court. Lamar Jackson, the multi time
0:17
Speaker 2: MVP of the Ravens, filing opposition to Dale Earnhardt Juniors
0:22
Speaker 2: registration of the number eight trademark, claim saying he's well
0:26
Speaker 2: known by his number. How do you adjudicate the great
0:30
Speaker 2: eight debate between Lamar and Earnhardt and former Steelers quarterback
0:35
Speaker 2: Ben Roethlisberger thinks Aaron Rodgers secretly is still holding out
0:39
Speaker 2: for Minnesota's Vikings, which is why he hasn't signed with
0:42
Speaker 2: the Steelers.
0:43
Speaker 1: How do you assess this one?
0:44

0:49

Speaker 2: a time. As we foam at the mouth in our
1:03
Speaker 2: number two, an NFL start taking on the good old boys?
1:08
Speaker 1: How's that gonna work out?
1:09
Speaker 2: Welcome In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
1:15
Speaker 2: Malor Show.
1:16
Speaker 3: We are in the air everywhere, just ordinary people who
1:22
Speaker 3: are smoking and joking coast to coast, border the border
1:26
Speaker 3: and beyond on the mast and Brashley powerful microphones of fsr.
1:34
Speaker 1: M mondating live from the box.
1:39
Speaker 2: Deep inside the magic radio box. We're broadcasting live from
1:44
Speaker 2: the tyraq dot com studios tyract dot com. We'll help
1:47
Speaker 2: you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
1:52
Speaker 2: road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installars. That's
1:57
Speaker 2: almost as many miles as our friend Inca Terror has
2:02
Speaker 2: traveled around and our buddy Salsa now Inca Terror's in Dallas.
2:06
Speaker 2: That's where Salsa lives. Ty iraq dot com the way
2:08
Speaker 2: tire bonding should be. We've not heard from Salsa in
2:10
Speaker 2: a while. I hope he's all right. He's a buddy
2:12
Speaker 2: of ours, he's traveled all over he works for the airlines,
2:14
Speaker 2: and hope he's doing okay. So our lead this hour
2:18
Speaker 2: is from the courtroom, a legal thriller. So we have
2:24
Speaker 2: a judicial collision between a couple of sports icons and
2:31
Speaker 2: it's a great story. We mentioned it last hour, but
2:34
Speaker 2: maybe you were not listening. Perhaps you were doing something
2:37
Speaker 2: and futson around or whatever you were had going on.
2:40
Speaker 2: I don't know what you got. So We've learned recently
2:45
Speaker 2: that Ravens quarterback and multi time Most Valuable Player winner
2:49
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, Lamar Jackson, has taken legal
2:53
Speaker 2: action to block NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt June and his
3:01
Speaker 2: attempt to trademark the number eight. Yes, we have an
3:06
Speaker 2: NFL quarterback and a NASCAR dude fighting over a number,
3:13
Speaker 2: not a game.
3:14
Speaker 1: Not a game. We in here talking about a number.
3:17
Speaker 2: So the paperwork was filed with the US Patent and
3:20
Speaker 2: Trademark Office. I always go to that department for content
3:23
Speaker 2: doing overnight talk radio, and I'll give you the thumbnail
3:28
Speaker 2: on this. I'm not going to give you the whole thing.
3:30
Speaker 2: There's a lot of legal ease anytime you involve lawyers,
3:33
Speaker 2: there's a lot of full crap involved. But Lamar Jackson's
3:38
Speaker 2: lawyers are arguing that Dale Earnhardt Junior's trademark application for
3:43
Speaker 2: a stylized version of the number eight used on his
3:48
Speaker 2: race cars conflicts with Lamar Jackson. There's a conflict of
3:53
Speaker 2: interest on Lamar Jackson and his trademark rights. Now in
3:57
Speaker 2: the court filing, Lamar Jackson and his lawyers contend that
4:01
Speaker 2: he is widely associated with the number eight due to
4:06
Speaker 2: his prominence in the NFL and the branding of his merchandise.
4:12
Speaker 1: Now I know I'm not in the demo anymore. I'm
4:15
Speaker 1: getting too old for that.
4:17
Speaker 2: I haven't seen any number eight Lamar Jackson merch other
4:22
Speaker 2: than the obvious stuff from the NFL.
4:24
Speaker 1: I missing something.
4:26
Speaker 2: Is everyone all the kids wearing number eight Lamar Jackson stuff.
4:29
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it.
4:30
Speaker 2: Anyway, Dale Earnhardt Junior's registration could false affly the imply
4:37
Speaker 2: The implication is that the registration could falsely there's the
4:41
Speaker 2: word falsely imply a connection between the two athletes there
4:48
Speaker 2: and infringe on Lamar's established rights. And so that's what
4:53
Speaker 2: the debate is about. And there's a lot of legal
4:56
Speaker 2: words in here, and they're my favorite part is the
5:01
Speaker 2: prospective purchasers are likely, according to lawsuit, are likely to
5:06
Speaker 2: be mistakenly or mistakenly believe that the products that Dale
5:11
Speaker 2: Earnhardt Jr. Is going to offer are related to the
5:15
Speaker 2: products or services provided by Lamar Jackson. So let us
5:20
Speaker 2: discuss the question. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson filing the opposition.
5:28
Speaker 1: In court to Dale Earnhardt Jr.
5:30
Speaker 2: And the registration or the number eight trademark, claiming he's
5:33
Speaker 2: well known by the number eight. How do you adjudicate
5:38
Speaker 2: the Great eight debate? The Great eight debate.
5:42
Speaker 1: So my observation, I've got.
5:45
Speaker 2: Crest, flower, power, and oracle, and we will combine.
5:51
Speaker 1: All of these things.
5:53
Speaker 2: Together and we are going to make some deliberation because
5:58
Speaker 2: we are going to deliberate right now now numb I said,
6:03
Speaker 2: numb burn?
6:05
Speaker 1: Can I get the numb burn?
6:09
Speaker 2: We are the judge, we are the jury, and we
6:13
Speaker 2: are the executioner of all great sports debate. And after
6:18
Speaker 2: a seconds long Mallard deliberation, the jury has now reached
6:23
Speaker 2: a verdict. The Mallord jury of one has ruled. We
6:28
Speaker 2: have given the checkered flag to Dale Earnhardt Jr. And
6:33
Speaker 2: as Daryl Waltrip, who used to be a regular guest
6:37
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio many years ago, back when he
6:40
Speaker 2: was a NASCAR broadcaster at Fox, would say, bugge, bug bugging,
6:44
Speaker 2: let's go racing. Yeah, now, this is very simple. I
6:50
Speaker 2: call it a Crest deal. But I'm not talking about toothpaste.
6:54
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the number eight, as in the Earnhardt
6:58
Speaker 2: family crest that number.
7:01
Speaker 1: And I'm not a NASCAR guy.
7:02
Speaker 2: I covered NASCAR for a little bit when I did
7:04
Speaker 2: the website back in the day, and I've been to
7:06
Speaker 2: a few NASCAR races, but the numbers started with the grandfathers,
7:12
Speaker 2: I understand it.
7:14
Speaker 1: Dale Junior's grandfather, Ralph, was the original number.
7:17
Speaker 2: Eight, and then his dad, who was the legend of legends,
7:22
Speaker 2: used the number early in his career as well. So
7:25
Speaker 2: using the malor math on this, Lamar was a toddler.
7:31
Speaker 1: I think he was like.
7:31
Speaker 2: Three years old when Dale Earnhardt Junior won a Cup
7:35
Speaker 2: race with the number eight car, and Dale Earnhardt Senior.
7:40
Speaker 1: Ran that number eight car.
7:42
Speaker 2: Twenty years before Lamar Jackson was even a twinkle in
7:50
Speaker 2: his parents' eyes. He wasn't even conceived yet, So I'm
7:53
Speaker 2: pretty sure Lamar Jackson had nothing to do with the
7:57
Speaker 2: actual court filing. I would find it hard to that
8:00
Speaker 2: Lamar is looking through the trademark filings that people that
8:05
Speaker 2: are on his payroll or his mom's payroll, and he's
8:08
Speaker 2: out working out or playing video games, doing whatever he's doing,
8:12
Speaker 2: and his team of advisors is leading him down the
8:15
Speaker 2: garden path, Like does anyone think that, Like, you're buying
8:21
Speaker 2: number eight merch and if you're buying something that is
8:24
Speaker 2: a Dale Earnhardt junior product.
8:26
Speaker 1: Let's say number eight.
8:29
Speaker 2: I would I would think that would be the last
8:31
Speaker 2: thing you think about, would be Lamar Jackson and vice versa.
8:36
Speaker 2: And if you think that, then you're saying that Lamar
8:38
Speaker 2: Jackson's fans are idiots and that they would not know
8:42
Speaker 2: the difference between NASCAR or racing merch and football Lamar
8:49
Speaker 2: Jackson merch. Like you're you're if you if that's your argument,
8:52
Speaker 2: and if you want to make that, it's fine. I
8:54
Speaker 2: mean you can make the argument, but you're you're saying
8:55
Speaker 2: that you have knuckle dragging morons.
8:58
Speaker 1: Who are the fans of Lamar.
8:59
Speaker 2: Jacks and that they would not be able to tell
9:02
Speaker 2: the difference because they're dumb dumbs.
9:04
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you doing? All right?
9:06
Speaker 2: Page two, Time for the obligatory Mallard monologue about America's
9:12
Speaker 2: favorite unemployed quarterback.
9:14
Speaker 1: That would be Aaron Rodgers.
9:15
Speaker 2: So former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has entered the chat.
9:20
Speaker 2: Roethlisberger gave his take on why Aaron Rodgers has been
9:25
Speaker 2: persona non grata and has not been signed, and Roethlisberger
9:32
Speaker 2: says that Rogers, secretly he still has a crush if
9:37
Speaker 2: you will. On the Vikings, he's holding out for Minnesota,
9:40
Speaker 2: and that is why he hasn't signed with the Steelers.
9:44
Speaker 2: From Aaron Rodgers. From Roethlisberger. On Rodgers, he said that
9:48
Speaker 2: he's all not from Minnesota. That's why Rogers hasn't signed.
9:51
Speaker 1: With the Steelers. So how do you assess this one?
9:55
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna I'm gonna stretch, stretch out because it's
9:58
Speaker 2: a giant stretch.
9:59
Speaker 1: Okay, it's stretch.
10:00
Speaker 2: Now, we do not see Minnesota as a realistic possibility.
10:05
Speaker 1: On the horizon, right Rogers.
10:08
Speaker 2: I am going with the Andrea in Berkeley mantra that
10:13
Speaker 2: Rogers is into astrology. He's buying into it. He's got
10:17
Speaker 2: that flower power. He's waiting for mercury to go out
10:20
Speaker 2: of retrograde, and that we are.
10:23
Speaker 1: Five days away.
10:26
Speaker 2: Five days away, April ninth is the date that Rogers
10:30
Speaker 2: will announce that he's going to Pittsburgh. Now we get
10:32
Speaker 2: past April ninth and Rogers hasn't announced it, and then
10:36
Speaker 2: we can revisit this. But he's given that hippie vibe,
10:39
Speaker 2: you know, peace, love, low carbs. He's a barefoot wanderer,
10:43
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, and he's trying to reject the football establishment
10:47
Speaker 2: norms of signing right away and all that. But the
10:50
Speaker 2: fact that he worked out with DK Metcalf not far
10:54
Speaker 2: away from where we broadcast from over on the UCLA campus,
10:57
Speaker 2: that is a dead baby that he took the he
11:00
Speaker 2: came Metcalf out for a test drive to see how
11:02
Speaker 2: it was throwing the football to him. I'd imagine somewhere
11:05
Speaker 2: in Malibu, Rogers is sitting doing some yoga. He's got
11:11
Speaker 2: a tight ie shirt on, he's got a glass of ayahuasca,
11:16
Speaker 2: and he's got a peace pipe that he's smoking. That's
11:19
Speaker 2: all going on, all going on at the same time,
11:22
Speaker 2: all right now. Final point to Motown. We go Motown
11:26
Speaker 2: and the winds of change are.
11:28
Speaker 1: Blowing for the Detroit Lions.
11:30
Speaker 2: Is they got mollywopped by the Washington formerly known as
11:36
Speaker 2: Redskins football team in the playoffs last year.
11:38
Speaker 1: So coach Dan Campbell shockingly.
11:41
Speaker 2: Has come out and said that the Lions, despite having
11:45
Speaker 2: new coaches here, there and everywhere, the new offensive and
11:48
Speaker 2: defensive coordinators, Dan Campbell said.
11:50
Speaker 1: We'll be fine. He said, will be.
11:53
Speaker 2: Fine regarding the changes at offensive and defensive coordinator. So
11:57
Speaker 2: what is your perspective on all the moving parts for
12:02
Speaker 2: the Detroit football team. So my reaction to Dan Campbell,
12:07
Speaker 2: I call him now the oracle of the obvious.
12:10
Speaker 1: He is the oracle of the obviously. Like, what else
12:12
Speaker 1: are you supposed to say?
12:14
Speaker 2: Like, oh, man, we can't win a game that we
12:16
Speaker 2: do not have our offensive coordinator, we don't have our
12:19
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator.
12:20
Speaker 1: We might as well just get in.
12:21
Speaker 2: The fetal position and start sucking our thumb, is what
12:25
Speaker 2: we should do. Like what else? What else are you
12:28
Speaker 2: gonna do? This is this is a welcome dilemma. And
12:32
Speaker 2: then we got fans of the show that are in
12:34
Speaker 2: Michigan or in Detroit specifically, who like the Lions, and
12:38
Speaker 2: it's a favorable thing for you. It's a wonderful Mitch
12:43
Speaker 2: fun the Rams. I'll give an exam when the Rams
12:45
Speaker 2: under Sean McK for years, the Rams were a joke
12:48
Speaker 2: when they were in Saint Louis, the last few years
12:50
Speaker 2: there and the first few years in LA and then
12:52
Speaker 2: they hired Sean McVay and ever since then it's been
12:55
Speaker 2: a turnstile of coordinators and assistant coaches. And for years
13:00
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions never had to worry about this. They
13:03
Speaker 2: never because they had coaches nobody wanted like for a
13:06
Speaker 2: long time, like Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, who both
13:10
Speaker 2: left to become head coaches in the NFL this offseason.
13:14
Speaker 2: Do you realize it had been three generations since a
13:17
Speaker 2: coordinator had.
13:19
Speaker 1: Left the Lions to become a head coach. Think about
13:24
Speaker 1: how long that is. John F. Kennedy was the president.
13:29
Speaker 2: It was sixty plus years ago the last time the
13:33
Speaker 2: Lions lost a coordinator become a head coach.
13:35
Speaker 1: Now, that worked out pretty well.
13:36
Speaker 2: Guy named Don Shuloh went to the Baltimore Colts and
13:39
Speaker 2: that turned out pretty good.
13:40
Speaker 1: But as for the messaging.
13:43
Speaker 2: If you will, the messaging from Dan Campbell, it's pretty simple, like, ultimately,
13:49
Speaker 2: it's the man in the arena that matters most, and talent,
13:56
Speaker 2: Trump's any kind of ex's and o's. And I learned
13:58
Speaker 2: that lesson. I was reminded of it in New England
14:03
Speaker 2: and I was on team Belichick, and I was like, well,
14:05
Speaker 2: Belichick will figure it out.
14:06
Speaker 1: They'll have a few bumps on the road, but he'll stick.
14:09
Speaker 2: Around and he's such a great coach that they'll figure
14:13
Speaker 2: it out. And then he coached Mac Jones and that
14:16
Speaker 2: was a disaster. And it didn't matter how great the
14:19
Speaker 2: coaching was. If you have a stiff like Mac Jones,
14:22
Speaker 2: the boat's gonna sink and turns out. Once Belichick was
14:27
Speaker 2: coaching a crap cast role, it didn't matter. And then
14:32
Speaker 2: Tom Brady left and it all fell apart. And there's
14:36
Speaker 2: really nothing to quibble about. So long as the Lions
14:39
Speaker 2: have halfway decent players, they're fine. A bigger concern is
14:44
Speaker 2: the glitch in the Lions den, and that is Jared Goff.
14:49
Speaker 2: And if you need him to make a play for you.
14:54
Speaker 1: You're done. And that's the gospel truth. You're just you're done.
14:57
Speaker 1: It's not going to work out can get you to
15:00
Speaker 1: a super Bowl.
15:01
Speaker 2: He got the rams of the super Bowl, but at
15:02
Speaker 2: some point he's gonna have to step it up. And
15:06
Speaker 2: it's it doesn't work. It just falls apart. It just
15:10
Speaker 2: it's like a piece of wet, wet paper. It just
15:13
Speaker 2: doesn't work. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we
15:17
Speaker 2: were working away through the overnight, You'd like to be

Speaker 2: As we work our way through the over nine hours.
17:04
Speaker 2: Coming up later this hour it will be Mallor to

Speaker 2: the third degree. I know it's exciting, Try to stay calm.
17:14
Speaker 2: That'll be coming up a little bit later in the hour,
17:17
Speaker 2: but right now, let's get back to the talk, well,
17:21
Speaker 2: and back to me Bill as I been.
17:24
Speaker 1: And the Man in the middle.
17:26
Speaker 2: Now, we started this hour ranting about the story involving
17:30
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and his legal department going after Dale Earnhardt Jr.
17:36
Speaker 1: And it's all about the number eight.
17:39
Speaker 2: They're worried about confusion between the fans of Lamar Jackson
17:44
Speaker 2: and the fans of Dale Are and our junior, which
17:47
Speaker 2: I'm guessing those worlds don't really cross very much, but
17:50
Speaker 2: they're worried about that. Now we also have the man
17:52
Speaker 2: in the middle. The man in the middle that would
17:55
Speaker 2: be Geno Smith. We mentioned in a previous Mallard monologue
17:59
Speaker 2: that Geno Smith was mediocre, that he is just merely
18:05
Speaker 2: a temporary solution to a long term underlying condition. And
18:12
Speaker 2: it turns out that we absolutely hit the bullseye in
18:15
Speaker 2: that mallet model, Like, now, what is my supporting evidence
18:17
Speaker 2: that we hit the bullseye? The Raiders did announce a
18:21
Speaker 2: contract extension for Geno Smith that makes him the seventeenth
18:27
Speaker 2: highest paid player.
18:29
Speaker 1: In the NFL.
18:31
Speaker 2: And he's right in that Sam Donald area, ran that
18:37
Speaker 2: Sam Donald area. So that's about where he should be.
18:41
Speaker 2: He's average and he's not going to win anything, and
18:46
Speaker 2: it's just merely a holding pattern. What a failure Tom
18:48
Speaker 2: Brady has been. Now, I know the media loves Tom
18:51
Speaker 2: Brady and they don't want to say anything bad about Brady,
18:53
Speaker 2: but as an executive, this is Michael Jordan like bad
18:58
Speaker 2: what Tom Brady has done with the Raiders. He has
19:01
Speaker 2: gotten the coach he didn't want. He's gotten the quarterback
19:05
Speaker 2: that he didn't want, Paul Fetic chipping the Ques rites
19:09
Speaker 2: In says a Plus on the Mall monologue. Talking heads
19:14
Speaker 2: like Ben Roethlisberger are overthinking the Rogers situation.
19:18
Speaker 1: The plain truth is that Rogers is simply washed up.
19:23
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all. Who else do we have? Tom
19:26
Speaker 1: writes since says is Lamar going to sue Alex Ovechkin?
19:31

22:41
Speaker 7: I'm in Cincinnati right now. I want to ask you
22:44
Speaker 7: a question. You know, what the best thing to do
22:46
Speaker 7: in Ohio is?
22:48
Speaker 2: You know, what is the best thing it It's to leave.
22:52
Speaker 7: That's the best thing to do in Ohio is to leave.
22:55
Speaker 2: So you're saying you're not going to be at the
22:57
Speaker 2: mallor meet and greet that we do in Ohio.
23:00
Speaker 1: I'm this summer. You're not going to show up there.
23:02
Speaker 7: No, I'll show up there if you do it.
23:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will.
23:06
Speaker 7: I heard you and Loraina talking about macaroni and cheese,
23:11
Speaker 7: so I wanted to comment on that. Have you ever
23:14
Speaker 7: had a macaroni and cheese pizza?
23:16
Speaker 4: Ben?
23:17
Speaker 1: I have not had a macaroni and cheese. Yeah.
23:21
Speaker 7: They make a macaroni and cheese pizza and they put
23:24
Speaker 7: bacon all over the top of it, and it's the
23:26
Speaker 7: best thing you ever ate.
23:28
Speaker 6: Ben, I did not have bacon on it.
23:33
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy the pizza?
23:34
Speaker 2: Actually?
23:35
Speaker 1: Disney and Goofy's Kitchen.
23:40
Speaker 7: So my question is, Ben, what do you think is
23:44
Speaker 7: going to happen now to mister John Moran? Are they
23:48
Speaker 7: going to is he going to be suspended the rest
23:50
Speaker 7: of the season or I mean he's They played Detroit
23:53
Speaker 7: next and I'm hoping that they suspend him before that
23:56
Speaker 7: game because I'm a Piston fan.
23:58
Speaker 1: So of course, of course, Well, Here's here's what I
24:01
Speaker 1: will will tell you.
24:02
Speaker 2: I would have already suspended him for a game because
24:04
Speaker 2: if what happened in the past, you understand Adam Silver,
24:10
Speaker 2: half man, half alien.
24:11
Speaker 1: Adam Silver, he is a mister softy.
24:17
Speaker 2: So the problem is a lot of NBA players end
24:22
Speaker 2: up using the finger gun. So if you start punishing
24:24
Speaker 2: guys for the finger gun, what's gonna happen.
24:26
Speaker 1: There's gonna be.
24:27
Speaker 2: Clips of every other star player with the finger gun.
24:29
Speaker 2: But to me, John Moran's different. I think you gotta
24:33
Speaker 2: punish him now because he's That was just that was
24:36
Speaker 2: just mocking the NBA and being like, you guys have
24:39
Speaker 2: no balls.
24:40
Speaker 1: You are absolutely ballless at the end of.
24:46
Speaker 2: The first quarter, even way to the second of the
24:50
Speaker 2: first quarters, Like, hey.
24:51
Speaker 1: I thought it was hilarious. I thought it was like,
24:53
Speaker 1: you guys aren't gonna punish me? I double dog daria,
24:55
Speaker 1: I double dog Dare you to punish me? Double dog dahia.
25:00
Speaker 7: I was laughing and I did too. I thought it
25:03
Speaker 7: was the funniest thing I've ever seen. And to that,
25:06
Speaker 7: to that spineless Silver, it was funny.
25:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, you're back on the Piston bandwagon now.
25:13
Speaker 2: See they sucked for fifteen years, but now you're back.
25:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.
25:18
Speaker 7: So, and then do you think one last question?
25:21
Speaker 1: Uh, you said that, you said you had done. Now
25:24
Speaker 1: you get another question.
25:25
Speaker 7: How dare you just a quick one? Do you think
25:27
Speaker 7: the Pistons are going to do anything in the playoffs?
25:30
Speaker 1: The win at most around? That's it? How about that
25:33
Speaker 1: at most around?
25:34
Speaker 7: I think they got a first round knockout in them.
25:37
Speaker 7: I do, so, we'll we'll see.
25:39
Speaker 2: It's all about massive, all right, be saying there you go,
25:42
Speaker 2: All right, there's a blast in the past. Every once
25:44
Speaker 2: in a while, he calls in the real Steele Brian
25:47
Speaker 2: who obviously lives in in Michigan, and then works his
25:50
Speaker 2: way around.
25:52
Speaker 1: All right, what usually goes to Ohio?
25:53
Speaker 2: He's got the same same route or root as he
25:57
Speaker 2: works his way through and makes me.
26:00
Speaker 1: It makes Appsolute magic is what he does. It's absolute magic.
26:06

26:19
Speaker 2: Visit expresspros dot com today, that's expresspros dot com.
26:23
Speaker 1: So this sounds to.
26:24
Speaker 2: Me like a great Netflix docu series or someone else
26:28
Speaker 2: should pick it up. But it involves Georgia man who
26:33
Speaker 2: was able to swindle Dwight Howard and not just Dwight.
26:38
Speaker 2: I mean there were others involved. Others involved, I think
26:43
Speaker 2: I remember correctly, Chandler Parsons, former NBA players now like
26:49
Speaker 2: everyone else, a podcaster as as well. But the guy
26:55
Speaker 2: was going around and he was claiming that he was
26:59
Speaker 2: selling a w NBA franchise for seven million dollars and
27:07
Speaker 2: he got money from Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons and
27:11
Speaker 2: a bunch of other people.
27:13
Speaker 1: They paid him.
27:13
Speaker 2: The guy was he claimed to be a businessman in
27:16
Speaker 2: Georgia and he scammed a bunch of these dudes out
27:21
Speaker 2: of a ton of money. And he was now he
27:25
Speaker 2: was convicted. This the conviction was a while agoes back
27:28
Speaker 2: in October federal court. It's a federal charge and it
27:34
Speaker 2: was in Manhattan. Calvin Darden Jr. He cheated Dwight Howard.
27:41
Speaker 2: Dwight Howard out of seven million in this plan to
27:46
Speaker 2: buy the Atlanta Dream.
27:49
Speaker 1: What that? Yeah?
27:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a million dollars out of my out
27:53
Speaker 2: of Chandler Parsons.
27:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that great. A well, it's not great that
28:01
Speaker 1: he I mean, you shouldn't do that and all that
28:03
Speaker 1: about a mean man.
28:04
Speaker 2: So the judge, the federal judge this came down yesterday
28:08
Speaker 2: ordered this guy to forfeit eight million dollars. So we
28:10
Speaker 2: still have the money as well as a bunch of
28:13
Speaker 2: luxury items from.
28:15
Speaker 1: His ill gotten gains.
28:17
Speaker 2: His ill begotten gains there including a three point seven
28:20
Speaker 2: million dollar Atlanta mansion. But dad, the guy was living
28:23
Speaker 2: in a three point seven million dollars Atlanta mansion.
28:25
Speaker 1: Had artwork where six hundred thousand dollars there was a Lamborghini,
28:29
Speaker 1: a Rolls Royce this guy had.
28:32
Speaker 2: And he has been sentenced now to more than twelve
28:36
Speaker 2: years in federal prison.
28:39
Speaker 1: So he's he's going away for a while. I remember
28:41
Speaker 1: the Feds, as you boys in prison have.
28:44
Speaker 2: Let me know that when you get charged with the Feds,
28:48
Speaker 2: you got to serve I think.
28:48
Speaker 1: It's eighty five percent of your saying.
28:53
Speaker 2: So if you do the math on that, and he
28:55
Speaker 2: got to serve eighty five percent that modulation, he's gone
28:59
Speaker 2: for at least a day decade my math at no, yeah,
29:04
Speaker 2: I know, so he's.
29:05
Speaker 1: Fifty I think right now. So that means he'll be
29:07
Speaker 1: out when he's like in his early sixties, he'll be he'll.
29:11
Speaker 2: Be out of there. But yeah, how do you do that?
29:14
Speaker 2: You don't actually own the team. And they have this
29:17
Speaker 2: thing called the Internet where you can easily look up
29:19
Speaker 2: who owns these teams. And you got seven million dollars
29:24
Speaker 2: out of Dwight Howard and a million dollars out of
29:26
Speaker 2: this other.
29:26
Speaker 1: It's insane.
29:28
Speaker 2: It reminds me a little bit, although it's this seems
29:32
Speaker 2: more dramatic. There was a group, there was a documentary
29:34
Speaker 2: you made about this too, a group trying to buy
29:37
Speaker 2: the New York Islanders and they had no money.
29:39
Speaker 1: They were pretending like they had money.
29:42
Speaker 2: And these these cats got involved in the aristocrat circuit,
29:47
Speaker 2: Long Island, Beverly Hills, South Beach where all the rich
29:53
Speaker 2: West Palm Beach while the rich a holes hang out.
29:56
Speaker 2: And once you got in that world, like people just
30:00
Speaker 2: assumed you had the money.
30:02
Speaker 1: They said, well, you're in our world, so you must
30:03
Speaker 1: have the money.
30:04
Speaker 2: And this guy almost got the New York Islanders and
30:09
Speaker 2: then at the very last minute the thing went sideways.
30:11
Speaker 2: But he was real close to getting the team, and
30:13
Speaker 2: then they figured out he didn't have any money wild.
30:17
Speaker 1: This would be a good docu series, though, How do you.
30:19
Speaker 2: Convince multiple NBA players to get millions and millions of
30:23
Speaker 2: dollars saying you own a team that you don't actually own.
30:25
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to the sleepy Lama. Who's next?
30:28
Speaker 2: Hello, sleepy? Oh, he's got the Lama's gone to bed.
30:32
Speaker 2: The lama said, I'm done. I've decided to go to bed.
30:36
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk to you anymore. And where
30:41
Speaker 2: he goes. But he's going to sleep.
30:45
Speaker 1: He's getting out of here. All right? Is the Ben

Speaker 1: Maler Show. Have some time for Mallard of the third

Speaker 1: Now you're ready to hit and that's good. You're ready
31:16
Speaker 1: to go.
31:17
Speaker 2: Uh timeed out for the instant tribuam and we go
31:19
Speaker 2: to baseball, where Colorado's Antonio Senzateella has allowed I don't
31:25
Speaker 2: even know who that is, but he's allowed nineteen hits
31:27
Speaker 2: this season and no earn runs. That is the most
31:32
Speaker 2: hits allowed by a pitcher in his first two outings
31:36
Speaker 2: of a season without allowing an earn run since the
31:40
Speaker 2: urn run became an official stat over one hundred years ago.
31:43
Speaker 2: But Blank is the last pitcher to do that over
31:48
Speaker 2: any two games span in professional baseball. So again, the
31:53
Speaker 2: Rockies pitcher Antonio sends it. Tella has allowed nineteen hits
31:59
Speaker 2: this season and no earn runs. That is the most
32:02
Speaker 2: hits versus a picture in his first two addings of
32:07
Speaker 2: a season without allowing an earn run since it became
32:10
Speaker 2: an official stat back in nineteen thirteen. Blank is the
32:13
Speaker 2: last picture to allow that many hits over a two
32:17
Speaker 2: game span and no earn runs.
32:19
Speaker 1: That is the insta trivia the answer. We'll get to it,
32:24

Speaker 1: Ninety three, Alreddy American League from the Waukee Brewers. Here
36:35
Speaker 1: we are it's Mallard. How about that?
36:37
Speaker 5: To the third degree?
36:40
Speaker 1: This is one big Ben gets grilled cool, and.
36:46
Speaker 6: The Baltimore Ravens owner recently admitted that he knows they
36:50
Speaker 6: have a window with Lamar Jackson and he wants to win. Now,
36:54
Speaker 6: then how long do you think that window is open
36:56
Speaker 6: for the Ravens.
36:58
Speaker 1: Well, it's actually not open because he sucks in the playoffs.
37:01
Speaker 2: So you know, Steve Vascatti or the owner of the
37:05
Speaker 2: Ravens there, I mean, Lamar has not been as good
37:07
Speaker 2: a player in the playoffs as he has been in
37:10
Speaker 2: the regular season, and so you.
37:12
Speaker 1: Say the windows open.
37:13
Speaker 2: They're a playoff team every year for the next three
37:16
Speaker 2: or four years, but winning. He has not shown the
37:20
Speaker 2: ability to step his game up in the playoffs he
37:23
Speaker 2: does in the regular season without the players. Next reminds
37:25
Speaker 2: me of Peyton Manning a little bit back in the next.
37:28
Speaker 6: We know an eighteen game season in the NFL is inevitable,
37:30
Speaker 6: and we are now hearing reports that talks between the
37:33
Speaker 6: league and the players union could start soon. Ben, what
37:36
Speaker 6: do you when do you think the eighteen game season
37:38
Speaker 6: makes its debut?
37:40
Speaker 1: So whenever the NFL needs more TV money, they'll just.
37:42
Speaker 2: Add an eighteenth game and all the rates will go
37:45
Speaker 2: up within the next five years.
37:47
Speaker 1: I'm all for it.
37:48
Speaker 2: You know, I have a seasonal TV show based on
37:50
Speaker 2: the NFL, so that means I'll get more work. So
37:53
Speaker 2: I want him to start like in twenty twenty six
37:55
Speaker 2: because that's more money in my pocket.
37:57
Speaker 1: So why not man eighteen games over twenty weeks, that's
38:00
Speaker 1: the way to go.
38:01
Speaker 6: Next, he may have Doka has led the Rockets back
38:03
Speaker 6: to the postseason for the first time in five years,
38:05
Speaker 6: and the young up and coming team currently sits at
38:07
Speaker 6: the number two seed. Then do you think they can
38:09
Speaker 6: make any noise in the postseason?
38:11
Speaker 2: Well, if they have like drums, they could bang on
38:13
Speaker 2: the drums and make noise and things like that. Now
38:15
Speaker 2: I'm not I would not invest a lot in the
38:18
Speaker 2: Houston Rockets going on this amazing run.
38:22
Speaker 1: The conferences are all messed up, so who knows who
38:24
Speaker 1: they're gonna play their number two?
38:25
Speaker 3: Right now?
38:26
Speaker 1: They won't finish the second. I'm going no, how did
38:28
Speaker 1: we do? He passes ci? That is a ring you
38:31
Speaker 1: can come a on the board. I won the game.
38:34
Speaker 1: I won, Lorrainer, I'm a winner. Good John Ben, Thank you, Loraine.
38:37
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. By tires
