• 1:13

• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I think he needs a therapy dog right now. He's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: having a tough time. Things are not going well for
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Rick Oh.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: More than that in a minute.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: But this portion of the Ben Mallory Show made possible
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in part by our friends at ti Iraq.
• 1:52

• 2:09
  Speaker 1: dot Com, thew Waytire Buying Show be so our lead
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: this hour is from Pro boundcy Ball. We have some
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: movement on the High Speed Sports Wire. NBA player on
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the Move sharpshooter Bradley Beal.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: We talked about this in a previous episode of the show.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It had been a rumor. Well it is now fact.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beal and the Phoenix basketball team agreed to a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: massive buyout the two years two years remaining on his
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Contractveal giving back thirteen point nine million. He will still
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: walk away with about ninety six million dollars give or
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: take prior to taxes, so he's got a lot of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: dough on his way. But he gives up thirteen point
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: nine million that the Phoenix basketball team owed him, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that allows the Suns financial flexibility, which of course is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: code for you.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: We think you blow and we want someone else there
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: on our roster.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Now he's already found a new employer. Bradley Beal has
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: already found a new employer.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Did you see this? Maybe not? Maybe you tuned out.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Now we are told that Bradley Beal who everybody wanted.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: For some reason, everybody wanted Bradley Beal, and he has
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: signed a two year, eleven million dollars deal with.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: The Clippers.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Wheez going to the Clippers that includes a player option
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: after he clears waivers. So let us discuss the question,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: does this Bradley Beal signing does it move the needle
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: for the Clippers. So I've got Spanish Vegas, lounge at
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and Tropicana, and we will combine all of these things
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a peanut butter
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and jelly sandwich of PB and J is what we're
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: gonna make.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: So my first point here.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Number wa, I said, Number WA. Yeah, Femi loves when
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: we do that. So Bradley Beal is a Clipper. Does
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that move the needle? Was the question, And listen, I'm
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna talk in hyperbole. It moves the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: needle absolutely about an inch. It moves it about an
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: inch the Clippers. Maybe you draw a little bit of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: blood there, like the same thing applies, right. There is
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: enough talent there, there's a championship roster. Until Kawhi Leonard
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Strain's a nostril, then what happens. But we are pragmatic
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: on this one, Like I don't.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Love the player.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: He's got to prove that he's not just a stat
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: bandito and a guy that put up numbers in DC
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: on morbidly bad Washington teams. And he's got to prove
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he can actually put up some numbers on.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: A good team. He hasn't done it yet. Had a
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: couple of opportunities the Suns were supposed to be good.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: He didn't do it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And I use the word pragmatic. I think that's the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: proper word. Let's be clear, this is a low risk,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: high reward move. If Bradley Beal is just half the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: player he had been with the old Washington Bullets or Wizards. Uh,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that's fine. He's not the savior. I mean, he is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a risk. He's made out of glass and he's like
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a glass cannon, and you know he's got all kinds
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of issues going into TSA right, sets off soft tissue
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: alarms and all that. But Bradley Beal is owed more
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: cash than the GDP of many small island nations out there.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It's insane, ninety plus million dollars. But that's the Sun's problem.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: That ain't my problem, it's not your problem. And for
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the Clippers, he chose the Clippers, right. Bradley Beal had options.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: You believe the chatter there were double digit playoff worthy
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: teams that all flirted played foot see with Bradley Beal,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: double digit teams and he picked in the and he
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: picked the people's team. And so let that marinate. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: know Rick Oh is having a tough time dealing with
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of other people that are. I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: don't understand why would anyone would pick the Clippers. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beal saw something and with Steve Balmers essentially running
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a rehab clinic or down trodden basketball players, and sometimes
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it works. Sometimes it doesn't, but they've They've had a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: whole host of players come through. Ben Simmons was on
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the team at the end of last year.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Russell west Brick was there.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: And the difference here and maybe it's your delusion and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: all that, but Balmer has so much money he was
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: able to use a laser printer and chat GPT and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: quietly bring back the famous Spanish explorer Ponstelyon as the trainer.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So if anyone can unlock Bradley Beal, it is Ponstellione,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the new lead trainer of the Clippers, and Bill he's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: still trying to find that fountain of youth. He's not
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that old, but his body looks old and all that stuff.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And so the Clippers have this really good cryo chamber,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: And it's just another former All star mercenary who goes
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to the Clippers.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Now, page two, let's get into the nitty gritty here.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: What do you say, why did Bradley Beal reject the Lakers?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: The Lakers they were all horny to get Bradley Beal
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: over there in Lakerland and he said no. He joined
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the Clips. So why would you go to the people's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: team when Lebron is out to get you. So this
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: is more direct evidence that the Lakers, who people at
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: one time described as the jewel of basketball royalty. That's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: why they wear parpole, the arrogance of the Lakers. But
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: they are a team right now of not a lot
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of status, right, players mostly politely decline.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It's like when you're kind of weird uncle invites you
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to dinner and I don't really want to see my uncle.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go to dinner with my uncle. Like,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: guy's a loser.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beal had again ten twelve playoff teams that were
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: texting him and calling him, and then the dust settles
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and he picked Kawhi Leonard and the Beard, James Harden.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: He took the clips. Now, meanwhile, Acrosstown at the Church
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: of Lebron, right, the Church of Lebron, the.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Pews are getting pretty empty over there in terms of
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the new players added, the Lakers are now the equivalent
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of that fading Vegas lounge act.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny when I'm driving around on the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: weekends with the wife and we drive by the Indian
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: casinos and we see the bands that are performing and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the comedians.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I always say, well, you're at that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Point in your career where you're now doing you're doing
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the casinos circuit at the Indian casinos. You've now reached
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that point, right, It's like a Vegas residency. In this case,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: it's more like a Vegas lounge.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Act where you're.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Running out of encores and all that and oxygen and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: just a bad Vegas lounge act. But even the Hookah Luca,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: even his fat ass, can't save the Lakers on this one.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Luka Doncik could not close the deal with Lebron all right.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beal rejected Luca, and Lebron didn't even hesitate.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: He could have taken the exit right there at figure Row,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: gotten down a skid row where the Lakers.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Play waring that purple and gold, and rubbed elbows with
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Lebron and Luca. Ever, he didn't do it. Why did
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he do it? Well, the Lakers aren't cool, they don't matter.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: They're mostly hospice for fading fading stars and all that's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: like a retirement villa, nice retirement.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Villa and all that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: The Lakers, they're kind of becoming like the Knicks haven't
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: won a championship since Kobe. They are all about the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: marketing and that's about it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Good marketing.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I'll give him credit on that. They talk to talk,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they don't walk to walk. And Bradley Beal, he was
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: at a fork in the road.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: At a fork in the road, which direction am I
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: going to go?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beal saw the future and he had two la
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: options and he said, I want to.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Go in the hood in Inglewood.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Where the Clippers play, and I don't want to go
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to skid Row, And so he chose Top, the team
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that has a pulse.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Now, a lot of things have to go right.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: For the Clippers to win the championship, but for any
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: team to win the championship, a lot of things have
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to go right. I believe in the multiverse, the Mallard multiverse,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and in the Mallard multiverse, there is a dimension where
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard stays healthy and James Harden doesn't take two
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: games off in the playoffs, and Bradley Beal turns out
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to be the player that he had been.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: In Washington and can do it on a good team.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you got the ras Mataz right,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you got the Razzle Dazzle. Now final point. So we
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: turn the page now to gambling. Now, as you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed, I enjoy gambling. I'm not a degenerate. I
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: enjoy gamb as the FEDS continue to poke and prod
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: at this particular point with the prop bet shenanigans going on. Now,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: this is a baseball story. It's a basketball stories. It
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: affects pretty much everything, everything in professional sports and in
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: college sports.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: But we're gonna talk about the basketball part of it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Because Commissioner Adam Silver, the half man, half alien. What
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: planet does the lizard person Adam Silver come from? So
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver broke his silence about the NBA and the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: betting scandal, saying that the league is not not shutting
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: down gambling.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: They're not getting out of the gambling.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Business because they have a few bad actors, is essentially
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: what he implied. So where is your brain wave on
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: this one, Adam Silver, who did address the issue, And
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, that's pretty much said, just a couple
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: bad actors. So I turned to the mall Rosetta Stone
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: for guidance. The Mallow Rosetta Stone never wrong, and it
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: translated what Adam Silver said. It said, yes, we know
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: gambling is somewhat compromising the underbelly of our business, the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: credibility of our sport, and for some eroding the trust
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of a percentage of fans and those our customer and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it may even be influencing many more bets.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Than we would like to admit.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: However, as they say at Tropicana, the juice, my.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Friends, is worth the squeeze. And here's why.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Because the gambling money is a pot of gold, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the house always wins.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: The house does not lose.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Right now, you say, well, sometimes the house loses, but
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: in the end they always win.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: And if you're just getting money.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: From gambling and you're not the ones either taking the money,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you're putting the bets down, you always So let's be
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: very clear. The NBA isn't just tolerating gambling. It's now
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: intertwined in the business of basketball. Gambling companies sponsor the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: broadcast and I don't have an issue with it, but
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it's just the way it is.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: It's not going away.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: They own ad space on the court and some of
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: these gymnasiums. They even have official partnerships with the league.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Now the referees. They don't have any gambling logos on
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the shirts. I know Tim Dominiy probably wishes he did
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: have one, but you know it, just don't worry about that, right,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the algorithm is somehow working on that. And
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: by the way, the implication that it's just a few
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: bad actors, that is a phrase that you always use
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: when you're in the soup.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: You always use it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Remember I mentioned Tim Donnie when Tim Donnie he was
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: involved in that.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I think it was not just a few bad actors.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I think it was a lone wolf. That was the
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: one they used, the lone wolf. But we hear that
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: phrase a.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Few bad actors in Wall Street, politics, big pharma, all
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of those things. And it's never they never say it's systemic.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: They never want to say it's systemic. It's never the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: structure of the foundation. It's just some cosmetic things. It's
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: just a rogue ref over here, it's a crooked coach
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: over there, or it's some player that you had some
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: kind of weird thing on his phone. He's got a
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: got a code and he started a gambling account.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: It's never ever the leagues, Faul, have you noticed that?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Have you noticed it's never leaves the sports leagues, they
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: love to brag about how they monitor these these gambling places,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and they do.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of checks and balances.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And the main reason there's a lot of checking balances
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: is not because of the leagues. It's because the people
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that run the gambling houses have skin in the game,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: right they as I've been told, I got some friends
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: that have listened to the show who are in that
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: business in the gambling world, work at sports books and whatnot.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: They've told me kind of how it works and what
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they look for and what things set off alarm bells.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And of course now everything's it's a lot easier.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Now with AI and monitoring things and Big Brother watching
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and everything being done on the phones and all that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: But as I understand it, you know, what do I know?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: But as I understand it, the main reason these guys
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: get caught is because of two things. Loose lips and
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: they can't control themselves if they stop chatting, because they
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: love to brag. Gamblers love to brag.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: We need more.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: If you're an introvert, you don't brag, right, you just
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: kind of keep to yourself.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: It's extroverts who are like.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Hey, I got this guy in the Cleveland Guardians and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: he's in the tank, all right, So they love the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: brag about how I got this guy he's gonna throw
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: a ball on a prop bet and then we're gonna
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: win the prop bet. Or I got this basketball player
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat and he's gonna miss this many
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: shots and all that stuff, So.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: They love the brat. That's the first problem.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: The second problem is they simply bet too much, and
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: because they try to get the.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Quick score, right, they want that quick score.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: If you just bet a nominal amount, it does not
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: raise red flax. Like there was a guy, the most
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: famous example recently this Jibebroni on the He was on
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the Toronto Raptors, right, so he's playing for the Toronto
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Raptors and he ends up getting caught. But the main
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: reason he got caught he talked about it. Right, The
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: loose lips sank gambling ships. The other problem was people
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: were betting ridiculous amounts of money because he.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Was telling people and they were telling other people. They
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: were betting massive amounts of money.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Like it's an obvious reflect You don't need AI, you
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: don't need some kind of supercomputer to know if.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Nobody on the.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Toronto Raptors is getting more action than Lebron James on
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: a prop. Chances are there's some funny business going on.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, right, And so.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: These guys are always looking for the big payday. But
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: there is a world where you don't tell anybody and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: you kind of keep it on the down low, and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: you bet a nomenal amount and you win every single
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: time that person takes the court.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: You don't win a lot, but you win a little
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and it adds up. It's study gains. But these losers,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: they won't even do that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: They have to go for the big score, and that's
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: how they end up getting caught, and they will continue
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to get caught because of human nature and they people
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: can't help themselves.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: They want that big pay day. They want. We all
• 18:04

• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to the next level. Head you are the people that
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: take the show to the next level. I want to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: hear Willis bark out the alphabet. Yeah, No, I agree
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: with Jay Scoop.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I love Jay Scoop. He's been a loyal minion for
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: this show many many years. He's the guy that put
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: together the Mallard meet and greet we did in Seattle
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and wait, right before COVID in twenty nineteen, we had
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: a big get together there in Seattle, which was awesome,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and he put that together.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: And he's been a big supporter. But he's right.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, the things that stand out are the Boston Belcher,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the Boston Belcher, the guy from Iowa who would would
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: talk as a pig, you know, and sing.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: That was great.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Late Night Drug tester says, no surprise, the Clippers are
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: getting the latest free agents. They have stable ownership, a
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: great arena, not like the Lakers with a building in
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: a dangerous neighborhood and constantly changing ownership exactly. Let's see Bill,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: who's your Bill says he's in the mouth. Is he
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: in there by the way go?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: He says he's in.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Who's your Bill says he's in the mall oft palooza.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he has a slot or not,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: no idea. Tony says, you're absolutely right, Ben, the Clippers
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: are locked and loaded. Look at Tony locked and loaded.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Normally don't expect those kind of compliments from Tony. He's
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a Laker lapdog. But there is Bill Whosia. Bill also says,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: been you're a little young. Do you remember the nineties
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: NBA ref scandal they were selling their first class tickets?
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I like that you think I'm a little young.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: That's good. I'd like to be continued to think that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: You to think that I'm a little young.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I may in another life have been on radio talking
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: about that. If you remember, the umpires in baseball were also.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Part of that.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Wasn't just the NBA referees, because all those referees talk
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: to each other. They were making bank man, so they
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: had deals. As I remembered. As I understand the story,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: it was years ago, the thirty years ago. But the
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: referees in basketball and the umpires and baseball and all that,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and I think it was football too.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: It was across the board.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: So they had in their union contracts they were given
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: first class tickets. So what they would do is they
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: would sell the first class tickets and take a coach
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: ticket and then and save the extra money. Natron writes
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: in says, hey, Ben, I guess he wants to touch
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: up my work. He says Kobe was not on the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty Laker team. Well, that's true, Kobe was not.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: On the twenty twenty Laker team.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: But that's that team didn't didn't win, that doesn't count.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: That's that's why the last.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Legitimate championship was the Kobe team. And that's not my opinion,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: that's Alex Caruso's opinion, who pointed out when the Thunder
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: won the championship this summer, he said, now I got
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: a real one, because he knew that was a Mickey
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Mouse ring. And then everyone got upset, so we had
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: to try to correct it and walk it back.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: As the people were hurt because he said the truth.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: And let's say hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Hello hollering James, Hello James, I am sleeping.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I don't hear him sleeping though. All right, we'll hang
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: up on him. Let's go to Tony in the Bay Area.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: If he's not going to sleep with's no point Hello
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Tony the Bay Area.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: Hey man, I got two things. One is is when
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: you say the Bears King Kong and got s on you.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: And also, because of Chris Farley, George Went and Joel Montagna,
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: when people run into me when I'm wearing my Bears
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: gear and they acknowledge it, I can only say one thing, Bears.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Tony. What do you think Tony looks like?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I've tried to play this game with other people,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and it's really hard to guess what people look like.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I think Tony's either kind of a tall, skinny guy
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: or a shorter, fat guy.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's like a middle ground there with Tony.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll meet him that our buddy there Alameda. Lou
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: is trying to get us to go to the Bay

  Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, let's say hello Andre in the Commonwealth.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Hello Andre, welcome.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: And could be with you?
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do is dog Willis Andre? And is dog? Willis
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: right there.
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: Willis is up.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: He was resting. Uh you had a caller who was resting,
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: and then they got back up. But Willis was resting.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: But he was just as inspired as I was by
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: the recitation, uh you know, of swearing.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: Allegiance to the Malan Militia.
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: Willis is up. We'll see for how how fired up
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: he gets. We gotta we gotta get him some snacker ruse.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: Uh you know, but he he's up and he's he's engaged.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: Ben Bett. But that was some powerful stuff. And I
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: think we're going to be hearing from Willis who prepares
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: himself for the Palosa. You got some some headliners lined up.
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: So Willis is not going to disappoint. Not to say
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: that he is going to steal the show, but he wants.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: To hold his well hold on now.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Uh Andre, Willis does have an advantage because people love pets.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: People love pets.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: And Willis, to my knowledge, is the only only animal
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: act in the show. So that there was a huge
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: advantage that Willis has. If Willis does not get stage fright,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: that's the concern.
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: I'll get stage fright. Willis is the dog of the people. Okay,
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: he loves folks. You know he's coming from uh.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, there he is.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I just love how Willis is like. It's like Willis
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: went through dog puberty. Willis used to be the quietest
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: dog around. Now all of a sudden, every time you talk,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Willis is making noise. He's like your hype man. And
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: there's Willis again. Look at that unbelievable.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: You know, he's all about heeling again. He loved the people.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: He loves the people again. His roots he was, you know,
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: a rescue dog from down in Georgia, you know, so
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: he's got the good hunting root malin all and h
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: and shepherd mixed. So when we go for our walks,
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: you know, he so inspiring was the reaffirmation of allegiance
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: to the Mala militia.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: I do believe we.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: Are going to have to be going for a walk.
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: I was on the fence, but we're definitely getting out
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: there and going to move and groove. But he's always
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: sniffing things, making sure things are safe in the neighborhood.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think Willis.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for Willis, but I believe
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Willis is upset with me because I feel like I'm
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: delaying the walk, and Willis is upset with me because
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Willis knows it's walk, it's go time, and you're doing
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: a talk radio call and the dog would like to walk.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Do you speak dog, Ben? And that seems very accurate.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I do hang out with the dog most hours
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of the day. My dog Moxie. I have a great
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Moxie story. I'm gonna save it for the podcast those weekend.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I has a wonderful story about my dog Moxie.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: But yeah, so bet we walked during the show. You know,
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: I got the phone in my pocket. I'm listening. I'm
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: gaining inspiration and motivation and insight from the other callers.
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: And then sometimes, you know, while I'm on the walk,
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: you know, I get on the other time, I had
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: to put my flash light down, you know, so I
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: could so I could take the call. And we went
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: back and got the flash flight and we kept it moving.
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: So it's a beautiful thing to the specifics in terms
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: of what's going on in La, you know, and Daddy
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: warp Bucks, that's mister Steve Bomber swooping in and stealing
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: Bradley Beale from the Lakers if they didn't have their
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: own soap proper, the unnecessary soap opera going on with
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: Lebron and all this conjecture about him leaving. He's going nowhere. Okay,
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: this side shows spin that keeps him keeps some trending,
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: but it's not good for business, frankly, because he ain't leaving.
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: He's not leaving the warm weather. He's not leaving being
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: a media mogul. He's not leaving playing with a generational player.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: So we can stop it. But it prevented them from
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: getting Bradley Beal. Now look the Clippers good leadership. We
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: talked about Daddy Warbucks, who spends built into a dome,
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: which the state of the art in terms of how
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: it's constructed. And then you got great people on that staff,
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: but they're all about the reclamation project spin. So that's
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: why I think, you know, Bradley Beal, he's kind of
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: on the fritz, but he goes to the Clippers. I
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: think they'll get him trending in the right direction. And
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: they're starting five is kind of dangerous. Now we never
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: know with Kawhi, but you got my man at Vodka. Okay,
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: the center at Vodka, Kawhi at the four deal at
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: the three. Uh, they got to the leaper Jones and
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: then Harden at the one. You know.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: So the start, it looks no, you wonder what it
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: looks like though by the time they get to the playoffs. Yeah,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, no one says healthy,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I gotta let you go. But enjoy the walk to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the walk and talk with your dog.
• 37:03

  Speaker 9: So it seems that Randy Moss is making the rounds
• 39:38
  Speaker 9: this time. In a radio interview, Moss was asked where
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: he'd ranked Tyreek Hill in the Pantheon of receivers. Moss said,
• 39:44
  Speaker 9: He's nowhere all time, but top five in today's game.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Ben, is that harsh. No, that's reality. Listen, that's the
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: way it is.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, it has been amazing wide receivers in NFL history,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and Tyreek kills a good player in this generation. He's
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: got some really solid numbers and all that, but he's
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: not as good as Isaac Bruce or Marvin Harrison or
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I mean there's a bunch of them from the old
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: school days, Calvin Johnson, Chris Carter, I.
• 40:09

  Speaker 9: in the mix for the College football playoff.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Ben.
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: Auburn has an eleven and fourteen record in two years
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: under Freeze. How long of a leash do you think
• 40:29
  Speaker 9: he has?
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Well, Auburn has very passionate boosters and they have a
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: lot of money. And if Nick Saban wants to come back,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: not that he would go to Auburn, right, he would
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: never go to Auburn. But no, he's not long, And
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I like you Freeze, I think he knows what he's doing.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: But you know, they're not a contender, and I don't
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: buy it. You got to show me something, and they

  Speaker 1: in San Antonio.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I don't.
