0:36

1:21
Speaker 1: microphones of FSR amminating live from the walk as we

Speaker 1: walk the chalk from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios.
1:32
Speaker 1: Now Lawson he tapped me on the shoulder, says he,
1:37
Speaker 1: can you tell me about those times? Yes, we can.
1:41
Speaker 1: Tire Rack remember that name. For over forty years, it's
1:45
Speaker 1: a long time. Over forty years, tire Rack has been
1:48
Speaker 1: helping customers like truck or Joe find the right tires
1:51
Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive. Spaccoli loves the
1:54
Speaker 1: factor ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard
1:58
Speaker 1: protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire
2:03
Speaker 1: rack dot Com the way tire buying should be. And
2:08
Speaker 1: Stevie Meatball says, you know, I like that a spicy meatball.
2:11
Speaker 1: He says, that's great, Stevie Meatballs. But sometimes when you
2:14
Speaker 1: eat too many spicy meatballs, well you end up sitting
2:18
Speaker 1: in the powder room. And then if you have the
2:20
Speaker 1: wrong kind of toilet paper, it's a problem. Right, you
2:23
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about? You feel me on that? Yeah,
2:25
Speaker 1: that dry toilet paper, that one ply, it's like sandpaper.
2:29
Speaker 1: Who wants to rub sandpaper in that area? It's a
2:31
Speaker 1: very important area. A lot of good stuff happens there.
2:34
Speaker 1: It's the the exit. So anyway, there's something better. Switched
2:37
Speaker 1: to life changing wet extra large flushable dude wipes because
2:42
Speaker 1: weather just cleans better. Available Amazon and at major retailers nationwide.
2:48
Speaker 1: Dude Wipes best clean and the pants down. You see
2:56
Speaker 1: how that works there. Yeah, and Miguel on Fire wanted
2:59
Speaker 1: to know about Draft Well. This show is sponsored in
3:02
Speaker 1: part by DraftKings sportsbook, unofficial sports betting partner of the NFL,
3:07
Speaker 1: and and me a right now, use the promo code
3:11
Speaker 1: Mallord to claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's
3:14
Speaker 1: promo code Malord. At DraftKings, the crown is yours. So
3:20
Speaker 1: I lead this hour from the NBA and we are
3:25
Speaker 1: closing in on the trade deadline. I know you're excited.
3:29
Speaker 1: Try to control your emotion. It's a very emotional time
3:32
Speaker 1: you've everclemped. So a shooting star leaving town. I think
3:37
Speaker 1: you know where I'm going. I gave the the cool
3:40
Speaker 1: way at the start here, but perhaps you were not
3:42
Speaker 1: paying attention. Bad job by you. So we have learned
3:47
Speaker 1: that Giannis at Entekombo is ready for a new home. Yes,
3:53
Speaker 1: this is the classic NBA drama o rama here. The
3:56
Speaker 1: trade deadline is February fifth, that would be next week,
4:00
Speaker 1: And there are several teams that are racing, jockeying for
4:05
Speaker 1: position aggressively. I love the dramatic thespian reporting here. They're
4:12
Speaker 1: jocking for a position, making offers, trying to woo woo
4:17
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. Who are I like this too? Aggressively listening?
4:22
Speaker 1: How does one aggressively listen? You turn the volume all
4:26
Speaker 1: the way up. You're aggressively listening? Is alf aggressively listening? Fergnog?
4:30
Speaker 1: Are you aggressively listening? So let's pull back the curtain
4:33
Speaker 1: on the NBA's soap opera. This soap opera good jumping
4:38
Speaker 1: off point. Let us discuss the question who is calling
4:42
Speaker 1: the shots? Who do you think is calling the shots
4:45
Speaker 1: in this Bucks? Giannis adent to combo trade thriller. So
4:51
Speaker 1: my observations, I've got boarding pass b oh and itchy
4:57
Speaker 1: and scratchy, and we'll put these things together. One two three,
5:01
Speaker 1: We're gonna play connect three. Connect three is what we're
5:04
Speaker 1: gonna do. So number number one, Okay, after a minutes
5:13
Speaker 1: long Mallard deliberation on the available evidence, we have determined
5:17
Speaker 1: that Yannis, who has a full note trade clause period stop,
5:24
Speaker 1: is the one who's wearing the pants. End of discussion.
5:28
Speaker 1: He is the Halsee Kern of this production. You know
5:32
Speaker 1: who that is Gone with the Wind, the guy that
5:35
Speaker 1: edited Gone with the Wind, Hollywood legend, Holseee kern oscar
5:39
Speaker 1: winning editor. And Yannis is in the cutting room and
5:44
Speaker 1: he's splicing the scenes. He's tossing reels in the trash
5:48
Speaker 1: right now, deciding where he wants to go and then
5:50
Speaker 1: roll the credits. And it's not the Buck's decision. It
5:53
Speaker 1: is not the Greek freak. He can hold a relocation
5:57
Speaker 1: webinar at a cheesy airport hotel. He's got the final edit.
6:03
Speaker 1: He's got the final edit. Milwaukee's just the travel agent.
6:05
Speaker 1: They're stamping the passport wherever he wants to go, and
6:08
Speaker 1: they smile politely and say go on your way. So
6:11
Speaker 1: it's not gone with the Wind, per se. It's more
6:13
Speaker 1: like gone with the Wind, The Great Escape from the
6:16
Speaker 1: Bad Doc. What's up? Doc? Doc Rivers? Has anyone screwed
6:22
Speaker 1: things up more than Doc Rivers? My goodness, he is
6:25
Speaker 1: the common denominator. He is anyway, Joe Giannis, as everyone
6:30
Speaker 1: kind of predicted, this is so simple to telegraph. He
6:33
Speaker 1: wanted to get away and get out of basketball purgatory,
6:37
Speaker 1: so the Bucks can listen all they want. Listening does
6:40
Speaker 1: not mean deciding. And this is the auction where the
6:44
Speaker 1: seller does not actually own the merch. You do not
6:48
Speaker 1: own the merch. Here the Greek freak is basically standing
6:51
Speaker 1: at the airport gate. He's looking at all the planes
6:55
Speaker 1: out there on the tarmac and all that, and he's
6:57
Speaker 1: got his boarding pass in hand, he's got his luggage
6:59
Speaker 1: tagged Legacy upgrade, Legacy upgrade, and the roll call. You
7:05
Speaker 1: have the usual suspects, New York, Miami, Golden State to LA.
7:10
Speaker 1: Of course LA is not really that realistic, the Lakers
7:12
Speaker 1: or the Clippers. But then you got some wildcard teams there,
7:16
Speaker 1: but the top teams are the bright lights, the big stage,
7:19
Speaker 1: the extra sauce, extra butter on your popcorn. And then
7:22
Speaker 1: you got others that are lurking around, like would you
7:25
Speaker 1: want to go to Minnesota? That seems like a pretty
7:27
Speaker 1: lateral move there. And then you got to have annoying
7:30
Speaker 1: fans like that guy that works at the Walmart, that
7:33
Speaker 1: guy bustering your you know what, so I don't know
7:36
Speaker 1: if you want that, And some are saying that Giannis,
7:40
Speaker 1: he's not from the States. You know, he'd be willing
7:43
Speaker 1: to go to Toronto and play. Most people don't want to
7:46
Speaker 1: play in Toronto, but he'd be like, oh, yeah, I
7:47
Speaker 1: go there. That's a wild card. He saw the Raptors
7:50
Speaker 1: nixt game last night. Chances are he would not want
7:52
Speaker 1: to go there. But it's only one game. So Toronto
7:54
Speaker 1: said to be lurking in the shadows like a poker
7:57
Speaker 1: player with a straight flush. So this is a cosmic tail,
8:01
Speaker 1: as Andrea the astrology insider would say, it's a cosmic tiale.
8:06
Speaker 1: Yannis in this little play, it's an elementary school play.
8:10
Speaker 1: Is the Sun and all of these other teams are
8:14
Speaker 1: adjusting their orbit. They're all adjusting their orbit around the Sun,
8:18
Speaker 1: and the leagues waiting the dramas building expect seven or
8:22
Speaker 1: eight more daily plot twist on. Yannis is really liking
8:28
Speaker 1: what he's hearing from Team X. However, Team Y and
8:33
Speaker 1: Z are also interested the plot. Dickens. Yeah, so again,
8:38
Speaker 1: it's not a trading block. It's an auction house paddle
8:41
Speaker 1: up billionaire owners. Giannis is like a fine piece of art,
8:45
Speaker 1: and these owners are going to try to get their
8:46
Speaker 1: hands on it, and sois. It's not exactly like being moved.
8:50
Speaker 1: It's like, let me choose, I can live anywhere I want,
8:53
Speaker 1: assuming it's one of the members of the cartel, and
8:55
Speaker 1: I'm gonna handpick where I want to go. Yeah, that's
8:59
Speaker 1: the ticket, and pick where I want to go. Now,
9:02
Speaker 1: as for the value of the Greek freek, is this
9:06
Speaker 1: value shopping? The question is Yannis Adendakoombo a safe bet
9:12
Speaker 1: to acquire prior to the trade deadline. So if you
9:17
Speaker 1: look at this like the weather, you know, I say,
9:19
Speaker 1: clear skies, partly cloudy, overcast, completely cloudy, You're screwed. Stay inside,
9:27
Speaker 1: don't go outside. It's foggy. The forecast for Giannis is foggy.
9:32
Speaker 1: In terms of his long term outlooks, we're talking about
9:35
Speaker 1: a man whose entire existence he's I think he's listed
9:39
Speaker 1: at two forty. He probably plays a lot bigger than that,
9:41
Speaker 1: to sixty to fifty two sixty bigger than that. He's
9:44
Speaker 1: got the Greek god Mantra. That's his whole existence, and
9:49
Speaker 1: the way he plays is explosive. He's like a runaway
9:54
Speaker 1: freight train when he's at his peak, and that freight
9:57
Speaker 1: train has a radiator leak. Now it is our belief
10:00
Speaker 1: and the belief of many that Giannis is embellishing the
10:02
Speaker 1: injury because he does not want to get hurt legitimately
10:06
Speaker 1: before he is traded. And so what Giannis is doing
10:09
Speaker 1: is the old Oh my aching back, you know, it'll
10:13
Speaker 1: fix my back, a nice new jersey, new uniform that'll
10:18
Speaker 1: really make my back feel better, and my leg and
10:20
Speaker 1: my calf and all that stuff. The reason despite the risk,
10:24
Speaker 1: when you look at the COMPS players his age, with
10:26
Speaker 1: the injuries that he's had over recent years, the comp
10:31
Speaker 1: the difference between the others, I should say, is the bo.
10:36
Speaker 1: But this is not your normal bo. Yeah, I'm not
10:38
Speaker 1: talking about body odor. I'm talking about box Office, the
10:42
Speaker 1: sweet smelling bo box Office. It's a sold out theater
10:47
Speaker 1: with a line around the block at Broadway in Times
10:51
Speaker 1: Square there and going over to Times Square. And then
10:54
Speaker 1: the lead actor's knees are made of uncooked fetacini and
10:58
Speaker 1: it's not real, real good, long term that feted chene's
11:01
Speaker 1: gonna you know, snap and all that stuff. But the
11:03
Speaker 1: NBA is really dealing with a shortage of people that
11:09
Speaker 1: move the needle, and there are many reasons for that,
11:11
Speaker 1: Like the players decide over the last ten years or
11:14
Speaker 1: so that they don't give a crap about the regular season,
11:17
Speaker 1: so why should the fans care? And they just kind
11:21
Speaker 1: of load manage and so you load managing people as fans,
11:24
Speaker 1: we load manage and so. And I have noticed, I
11:27
Speaker 1: wonder if you agree with me on this. Like I
11:29
Speaker 1: do watch the NBA, I don't. I'm not fully involved,
11:32
Speaker 1: Like I have this whole process of getting ready for
11:35
Speaker 1: the show, and I usually have games on the background.
11:36
Speaker 1: I watch with half a half an eye open, and
11:41
Speaker 1: I'm kind of not really listening to it. Per Sae.
11:43
Speaker 1: Most of the broadcasters annoying, mean, But I have noticed,
11:45
Speaker 1: like the the young generation of stars who are doing
11:50
Speaker 1: things that are statistically wonderful, just don't move the needle.
11:56
Speaker 1: The new kids on the block in the NBA, they
11:59
Speaker 1: have the charisma of a dial tone. A shade. Jogis
12:04
Speaker 1: Alexander is setting records for Oklahoma City. He's been around
12:08
Speaker 1: for a few years, former Clipper by the way, of course,
12:10
Speaker 1: that's where he learned how to play ball. And SGA
12:13
Speaker 1: is doing these amazing things. He's challenging Wilton Chamberlain's records
12:17
Speaker 1: and whatnot, and no one cares, even Wemby the Parisian prodigy.
12:23
Speaker 1: Most people, they don't really care. That's the vibe game.
12:27
Speaker 1: Am I wrong? I don't think I'm wrong. Giannis he's
12:31
Speaker 1: not the greatest sound bite. He still moves the needle
12:34
Speaker 1: more than those guys. How much longer until the needle snaps?
12:38
Speaker 1: That's the question on this, and the bill always comes
12:42
Speaker 1: to it. I believe he's thirty one, I think. And
12:44
Speaker 1: his superpower is that he's an athletic freak and he's
12:50
Speaker 1: able to as we said, he's like a freight train
12:51
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And the body's starting to whisper
12:54
Speaker 1: a little bit in recent years, and it's whispering no,
12:57
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't want to hear that. And
12:58
Speaker 1: then on the front off offices around the NBA are
13:01
Speaker 1: screaming yes. And again it's like a Broadway star who
13:03
Speaker 1: conveniently gets laryngitis before that big matinee performance on the weekend.
13:08
Speaker 1: You're like, what are you doing? Giannis is not a guarantee, however,
13:12
Speaker 1: it is a risk wrapped around the headliner, and you're
13:16
Speaker 1: willing to make that risk. You know at some point
13:19
Speaker 1: the lights are going to flicker, flicker, flicker, flick. You
13:22
Speaker 1: know that's gonna happen all right? Now, final point to
13:24
Speaker 1: the Book of King James. The Book of King James.
13:27
Speaker 1: Am I going to sit here and rant about Lebron
13:29
Speaker 1: James crying? Lebron played terribly. Lakers lost by thirty. They
13:35
Speaker 1: got a thirty burger shoved down their throat by the cadavers.
13:39
Speaker 1: How about that one? So Lebron returned to Cleveland his
13:42
Speaker 1: yearly trip there his native land, and the Lakers were
13:46
Speaker 1: vaporized by the calves. Now this comes amid chatter that
13:51
Speaker 1: Lebron James, Lebron James will return to the Mistake by
13:56
Speaker 1: the Lake to hold a victory lap next season. I
13:58
Speaker 1: know that our friend Strip Club to like be very
14:00
Speaker 1: excited about that. So when asked about the chatter in general,
14:06
Speaker 1: the Lebron media clan says Lebron does not necessarily want
14:14
Speaker 1: a retirement tour. The reporting indicating that Lebron is said
14:18
Speaker 1: to be concerned. I love this. This is so good.
14:21
Speaker 1: I pay attention to this next line. Then you can
14:23
Speaker 1: go back to not paying attention. So Lebron is supposedly
14:26
Speaker 1: concerned that a retirement tour could bring some negative energy
14:32
Speaker 1: if his body doesn't cooperate. I see he goes to
14:36
Speaker 1: a city and there's one trip and everyone buys tickets
14:40
Speaker 1: and he can't play, and he doesn't want to disappoint
14:43
Speaker 1: his fans, you know, he doesn't want that, all right.
14:46
Speaker 1: So the question this is so good are you vibing
14:50
Speaker 1: with Lebron James supposedly being worried about a retirement tour
14:55
Speaker 1: disappointing his fans? All right? So this is obviously not humility.
15:01
Speaker 1: This is premium grade nin income poopery, is what this is,
15:05
Speaker 1: premium grade nincome poopery. It's the itchy and scratchy show. Yeah,
15:10
Speaker 1: it's the itchy and scratchy show. Lebron's got an itch
15:12
Speaker 1: to scratch. It's called attention. That's the itch he wants
15:15
Speaker 1: to scratch. He is the all time greatest attention whore.
15:19
Speaker 1: He suffers from chronic attention horse syndrome wrapped in fake empathy.
15:23
Speaker 1: That's it. And we've talked about it for years and
15:26
Speaker 1: years and years and years. Everyone knows it. And it's
15:29
Speaker 1: the same guy who once sprayed his arm. He sprained
15:32
Speaker 1: his arm Lebron years ago, patting himself on the back.
15:36
Speaker 1: He was out for a couple of games, it was said.
15:38
Speaker 1: And now we're supposed to believe that he has had
15:40
Speaker 1: this spiritual awakening and suddenly cares about the working stiff
15:44
Speaker 1: who bought a ticket. So if you believe this, you're
15:47
Speaker 1: a clod hopper, is what you are? Did you know
15:50
Speaker 1: over the last seven seasons? I went and looked it
15:53
Speaker 1: up because I'm a loser and I have no life.
15:55
Speaker 1: Over the last seven seasons, Lebron James has missed how
15:59
Speaker 1: many games on averages Lebron missed per year? I want
16:02
Speaker 1: to take a guess on that matter. Lebron spends one
16:04
Speaker 1: He brags about spending one point five million dollars on
16:08
Speaker 1: his body. How many people are cashing in on that, right,
16:13
Speaker 1: Like Lebron, W'll just pay these people and they don't
16:15
Speaker 1: really have to do much. And what a great hustle,
16:18
Speaker 1: What a great hustle that must be. Anyway, Lebron has
16:21
Speaker 1: missed eighteen games a year. That's twenty two percent per season.
16:27
Speaker 1: Lebron has missed a lot of those games that he
16:30
Speaker 1: has missed are with very sketchy injuries, and yet he
16:33
Speaker 1: still brags about spending you know, one point five million
16:36
Speaker 1: on his body. And now the Lebron stands, the Lebron
16:41
Speaker 1: sick of fans will say, well, Mall, you're just a hater.
16:44
Speaker 1: Is an old player? You can't be. It can't be
16:48
Speaker 1: a hordle Lebron. Old players play that many games? All right, Well,
16:53
Speaker 1: that would be true other than the fact that in
16:55
Speaker 1: my lifetime doing talk radio, I covered a guy named
16:57
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan who played for the Washington win or it's
17:00
Speaker 1: his final season and played all eighty two games. Did
17:03
Speaker 1: you know that Jordan's last year in the NBA played
17:06
Speaker 1: all eighty two games Michael Jordan played. I think it's
17:09
Speaker 1: like fifteen years, I want to say, and I know
17:12
Speaker 1: that he played every single game nine of those years,
17:16
Speaker 1: every single game nine of the fifteen years. Now, let's
17:19
Speaker 1: play a little game here. How many times Lebron's I
17:24
Speaker 1: think he's in your twenty three Now, how many times
17:26
Speaker 1: has Lebron James played every game the eighty two game season,
17:30
Speaker 1: every game out of twenty some of those years there
17:34
Speaker 1: were not eighty two games because of the pandemic or whatever.
17:37
Speaker 1: Let's just let's say twenty of those years were full season.
17:41
Speaker 1: So out of those twenty, how many did Lebron play
17:44
Speaker 1: all eighty two? You have seven times? That's option a
17:50
Speaker 1: option B would be five times, Option C would be
17:56
Speaker 1: one time, and option D would be no times. ABC
18:01
Speaker 1: or D. You got your answer, all right, reveal answers.
18:05
Speaker 1: The answer would be option C. The option would be
18:08
Speaker 1: Lebron one time, played all eighty two games. That's it.
18:11
Speaker 1: Wake up, people, wake up, come on, snap out of it.
18:15
Speaker 1: So it's not like it's not about disappointing fans. It
18:18
Speaker 1: would be one of the great stunners if Lebron did
18:20
Speaker 1: not have a retirement tour. In my head, he goes
18:24
Speaker 1: back to Cleveland next year. The Cavs are a better team.
18:27
Speaker 1: Lakers aren't winning anything. It's just they're just worried about
18:29
Speaker 1: Luca getting stats. And he'll get his stats. He'll lead
18:31
Speaker 1: the NBA in scoring, and Laker fans go whoo, get
18:35
Speaker 1: all excited about that. Whoopee damn doo, and they we're
18:37
Speaker 1: not gonna win anything, just like the Mavericks didn't win anything.
18:40
Speaker 1: But Luke w get his numbers and that's all that matters,
18:41
Speaker 1: and so people will be happy about that. I'll hit
18:43
Speaker 1: some circa shots and then Lebron can go to Cleveland
18:46

21:32
Speaker 1: began here this hour with Giannis and the updated story
21:37
Speaker 1: that he is looking to get out, looking for a trade.
21:40
Speaker 1: Oh my, oh my, let's see here, what do we have?
21:45
Speaker 1: Late night drug tester says there is a farewell tour
21:48
Speaker 1: in the NBA, but mostly at the Crypto Arena. The
21:53
Speaker 1: Lakers are saying farewell to millions of dollars spent on
21:56
Speaker 1: lebron and Bronni's contract. Howard, at the end of that
22:01
Speaker 1: the Calves Lakers game, I saw a clip where Bronny
22:04
Speaker 1: came in and he's like the mascot. It's like he
22:07
Speaker 1: won a contest to play and he got to play
22:09
Speaker 1: because the Lakers were losing by thirty and it's like, dude,
22:13
Speaker 1: what's going on? Like that's a little embarrassing. I say
22:17
Speaker 1: a little bit, yeah, And I'm just saying, what else
22:20
Speaker 1: we have? King Rory, who's in Wisconsin, says, trading Giannis
22:24
Speaker 1: mid season? We be a big mistake. If Joannis gets traded,
22:28
Speaker 1: he should just wait until the offseason. Besides, if Jannis
22:31
Speaker 1: waits long enough, he could be part of the inaugural
22:34
Speaker 1: NBA Europe League. When that starts up, he can be
22:38
Speaker 1: closer to home. Let me tell you something, King Roy
22:42
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four, David Stern, who was the old commissioner.
22:48
Speaker 1: He's dead now, but David Stern had this whole vision
22:53
Speaker 1: for NBA Europe. That is a long time ago. That's
22:57
Speaker 1: we're going back a lot of lot of years there.
23:02
Speaker 1: We're going back thirty plus years and this has been
23:05
Speaker 1: something that's been talked about. I'll believe it when I
23:08
Speaker 1: see it. Jill Yankee fan Jill from the Twin City says,
23:13
Speaker 1: I love Lebron, but again, you're right, these players are
23:17
Speaker 1: mostly dullards, says Jill. Generally the way that it is.
23:26
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Paige dan Fergduck says, did Loraina retire?
23:33
Speaker 1: I haven't heard from her in a while. No, she's
23:37
Speaker 1: all obvious. That's her story to tell. I'm not gonna
23:39
Speaker 1: that's her business. But she's getting taken care of something.
23:41
Speaker 1: But she'll be back at some point. Here, I'm not
23:43
Speaker 1: sure when not a Burner writes in he says, what
23:46
Speaker 1: days next week are you going to be doing the
23:48
Speaker 1: show from Radio Row? Are you going to be on
23:51
Speaker 1: any shows or doing something of your own? There you go, says,
23:55
Speaker 1: make sure to watch out for the electromagnetic frequencies in
23:58
Speaker 1: the air everywhere. Yeah. So I will be there a
24:02
Speaker 1: few days at the end of the week next week
24:04
Speaker 1: at Radio Row there in San Francisco. But I actually
24:07
Speaker 1: will not be doing the show from that. I'll be
24:09
Speaker 1: at Radio Road during the day. It pretty much shuts
24:11
Speaker 1: down at night, so I will be doing the show
24:13
Speaker 1: from a remote studio in the San Francisco area, but
24:16
Speaker 1: not from actual Radio Row. But I will be there
24:20
Speaker 1: right Thursday and Friday holding down the fourth That's the plan,
24:25
Speaker 1: any that's the plan. So I will be making my
24:28
Speaker 1: way around and I get the whole the whole plan.
24:32
Speaker 1: I actually have no plan. I actually have no plan.
24:36
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play it by year. We will give
24:38
Speaker 1: me recording some podcasts during the day for the fifth
24:40
Speaker 1: hour podcast that I do on the weekends. I will
24:43
Speaker 1: also be doing Benny Versus the Penny, the super Bowl edition.
24:46
Speaker 1: The plans anyway to do it from somewhere on radio
24:49
Speaker 1: row for YouTube, and we'll see what else. I'm sure
24:53
Speaker 1: pop up on some other shows and whatnot. From there,
24:57
Speaker 1: we'll take your calls. Eight seven seven ninety on Fox
25:01
Speaker 1: is the number if you'd like to be part. And
25:04
Speaker 1: let's go to the phone. Let's say hello in beautiful
25:07
Speaker 1: Ocean Side and we'll say hello to Pasha. Pasha, Pasha, Hello, welcome,
25:12
Speaker 1: You're on the Ben Malo Show on Fox.
25:13
Speaker 3: Hello, Pasha, good evening, mister Miller, how are you doing tonight?
25:19
Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a Laker, but
25:22
Speaker 1: not an LA Laker because they lost by thirty points.
25:25
Speaker 1: That's not good.
25:25
Speaker 3: I know I hate Lebron, so we all hate Lebron. Yeah, anyway,
25:32
Speaker 3: miterm Meller, I was listening to another I listened to
25:36
Speaker 3: Fox Sports all day. So one of your callers was
25:39
Speaker 3: cheating on you. His name is Helmet Man. He was
25:44
Speaker 3: on another show, and I just want to know your
25:47
Speaker 3: thoughts on that.
25:50
Speaker 1: Well, as you know, these are all paid actors. These
25:53
Speaker 1: are not real people. And some other shows they sign
25:57
Speaker 1: they signed contracts to calling. No one could actually call
26:00
Speaker 1: into an overnight radio show, so without being paid. And
26:04
Speaker 1: so yeah, we have a lot of characters. Blind Scott
26:06
Speaker 1: is not real? Who else? Mark the full name guy?
26:10
Speaker 1: We stopped paying him because his hourly rate. Weed Man
26:13
Speaker 1: is definitely not real. You think there'd be somebody named
26:15
Speaker 1: weed Man? Come on that please? Uh ferg Dog made
26:19
Speaker 1: up character? Alf is a I that is not real?
26:23
Speaker 1: Late night drug tester total yeah, Alfiona Pinter bogus like
26:29
Speaker 1: these are. It's all fake, Pasha, there's nobody real. So
26:32
Speaker 1: I like if some other show has a budget, and
26:34
Speaker 1: you know the other shows that take calls, and if
26:36
Speaker 1: they pay for helmet Man to call in, they pay
26:39
Speaker 1: a higher rate. There's nothing I can do.
26:41
Speaker 4: Genie is actually alive, living in the Bahamas. We just
26:44
Speaker 4: thought it would be better for the the show's storyline
26:47
Speaker 4: to you know exactly well.
26:49
Speaker 1: You know, it's like the Simpsons. Remember they killed the
26:51
Speaker 1: neighbor I forget. Yeah, Ned Flanner killed Ned Flanders. Ned
26:57
Speaker 1: Flanders is still alive. Ned's doing some anime cartoons right now.
27:01
Speaker 1: But it's okay, it's all good.
27:03
Speaker 3: You know, neighbor Rogan gave you a credit. He said,
27:08
Speaker 3: he said a call for the Malard Militia.
27:10
Speaker 5: So at least Rogan, I.
27:14
Speaker 1: Thank I thank Fred for doing that. I I used
27:16
Speaker 1: to fill in on that show from time to time,
27:18
Speaker 1: and I have fred I read.
27:21
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, I'll look at that. He can't hold
27:28
Speaker 3: your water.
27:29
Speaker 1: Ben, Okay, well, thanks for taking a shot at my colleague.
27:31
Speaker 1: I'll let Jonas know you hate him. Thank you. I'm well,
27:37
Speaker 1: thank you, all right, all right, but wonderful. All right,
27:41
Speaker 1: thank you. I appreciate that. Go away. There's a Pasha
27:43
Speaker 1: big fan. Yeah. I don't know if we're supposed to
27:47
Speaker 1: talk about that, and I'll probably get a cease and
27:49
Speaker 1: desist from the company talking about the reality that the
27:52
Speaker 1: people that call the show like hollering James. You know
27:55
Speaker 1: how much we had to spend on the computer to
28:00
Speaker 1: out the snores the way they do for James. There's
28:03
Speaker 1: no human being that would sound like that. Like, there's
28:07
Speaker 1: just absolutely no way that would be real. And most
28:10
Speaker 1: people understand that that like no Stradinas, that's the classic
28:16
Speaker 1: fanboy Seahawks person, you know, fanboy Seahawks person, No Stradinas,
28:21
Speaker 1: you know, classic Seahawk twelfth man, annoying character for the
28:25
Speaker 1: show we needed. In fact, have you noticed we pumped
28:29
Speaker 1: up the amount of attention forer Dog was or not
28:32
Speaker 1: Ferg dog, but no stre Deenas was getting leading into
28:35
Speaker 1: the super Bowl because we got the script from the
28:37
Speaker 1: NFL that the Seahawks were going to be in the
28:40
Speaker 1: super Bowl. So we we reacted to that and we said,
28:43
Speaker 1: let's make No Stredinas a bigger character on the show.
28:46
Speaker 1: And so that's what we've done. And yeah, it's it's
28:50
Speaker 1: all part of a master plan. It's it's all. It's
28:53
Speaker 1: all part of a master plan. And that's how these
28:55
Speaker 1: guys come in. We should have and we screwed this up.
28:58
Speaker 1: We should have paid Sean the Hood more money because
29:00
Speaker 1: Sean we could have really used him in Spacoli to
29:03
Speaker 1: break down the Steeler thing. But we didn't end up
29:05
Speaker 1: spending the money on that. That's a bad job by us,
29:08
Speaker 1: So it's not perfect. Now. Meanwhile, I had I mentioned
29:13
Speaker 1: I had the NBA on. I was flipping around and
29:15
Speaker 1: I actually settled in because they had inside the NBA.
29:18
Speaker 1: It was actually back. I thought they had retired. I
29:20
Speaker 1: thought they had been fired. Charles Barkley, Ernie and Kenny
29:24
Speaker 1: and Shaq and all those guys, Well those guys aren't
29:26
Speaker 1: working anymore. They worked four times the first half of
29:29
Speaker 1: the NBA season, but they were on and it was.
29:33
Speaker 1: It was wonderful. So I mentioned pick a winner. They
29:36
Speaker 1: showed during one of the commercial breaks that Charles Barkley,
29:42
Speaker 1: he claimed he had some kind of allergies, and they
29:44
Speaker 1: showed him like right there on set. He had his
29:46
Speaker 1: glasses there, and he had the papers, and he had
29:50
Speaker 1: a tissue and he became a picker. He was picked
29:54
Speaker 1: a big snot rocket, big bugger right there. Was awesome,
29:59
Speaker 1: It was great. I never enjoyed watching a man pick
30:02
Speaker 1: a booger out of his nose more than I enjoyed
30:04
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley picking a booger out of his nose. I said,
30:07
Speaker 1: that is so good. How entertaining is that? I could
30:10
Speaker 1: literally watch Charles Barkley pick mucus flem out of his
30:16
Speaker 1: mouth and nose and all that, and right there, I'm in.
30:20
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely in on that, clearly. All right, let's see
30:26
Speaker 1: what else do we have here? Super hustle rights and says,
30:31
Speaker 1: why would you lie to the general public about our
30:33
Speaker 1: beloved genies whereabouts? Like that? Slanderous? Well, we weren't able
30:37
Speaker 1: to say anything. If you really are a super fan
30:40
Speaker 1: of the Ben Mather Show, if you ever make it
30:41
Speaker 1: to Southern California. There is a park bench which is
30:46
Speaker 1: right near Dodger Stadium is his famous Swan Boat park
30:50
Speaker 1: in la And if you go near the playground, which
30:54
Speaker 1: is kind of on the it's the side furthest away
30:58
Speaker 1: from the one oh one Freeway. Now, I don't recommend
31:01
Speaker 1: going there at night because you might get shanked, but
31:03
Speaker 1: if you go there during the day, it's not that bad.
31:05
Speaker 1: So you go over there and there's a park bench
31:07
Speaker 1: which is dedicated the Genie in Medford. How about that? Yeah,
31:13
Speaker 1: pretty cool, the legendary Genie in Medford. There's a little
31:16
Speaker 1: bench there. You can check that out and great for
31:19
Speaker 1: photos and super fans of the show have been there.
31:23
Speaker 1: They have absolutely been there. A Doug in South Korea says,
31:26
Speaker 1: I want to get some coin as well. Well, Doug,
31:27
Speaker 1: you have to check. You have to apply and see
31:30
Speaker 1: if you're qualified to become a character on the show.
31:33
Speaker 1: Not everyone is able to be a character on the show.
31:34
Speaker 1: There's only certain people. We have a limited budget and
31:38
Speaker 1: we can't go over the budget or people freak out,
31:42
Speaker 1: and so we've spent a lot of money on fer
31:44
Speaker 1: Dog and these other characters. Alf and we in fact,
31:50
Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed that we cut back
31:52
Speaker 1: on our friend from the Commonwealth and his dog Willis
31:56
Speaker 1: because we just we ran out of money and so
31:59
Speaker 1: we had to limit that. We also stopped paying truck
32:03
Speaker 1: Stop Fungus as much, so he has not been as
32:05
Speaker 1: active because we just didn't have the money for it.
32:08
Speaker 1: And these are decisions. They are business decisions. It's not personal.
32:12
Speaker 1: These are all characters that we like and we just
32:15
Speaker 1: can't afford everyone, and we have to limit certain people
32:18
Speaker 1: when they call them. We had remember that period, we
32:22
Speaker 1: decided to get a little younger. So we had characters
32:25
Speaker 1: named Charlie. We had a Charlie from Dallas that was
32:27
Speaker 1: like did A. He was actually forty five years old,
32:30
Speaker 1: but he pretended to be a kid. And then we
32:32
Speaker 1: had a Charlie from Wisconsin. Charlie from Wisconsin was actually
32:36
Speaker 1: sixty years old. He sounded like a college kid. And
32:39
Speaker 1: so we were trying to get a younger demo and
32:42
Speaker 1: we went back and forth between those two and it
32:44
Speaker 1: was great. People loved it. They oh, man, we're getting
32:46
Speaker 1: younger people. No, it was just younger actors, younger voice actors. Yeah. Absolutely,
32:52
Speaker 1: JJ from Rent And says, where's my damn money been?
32:55
Speaker 1: I told you that my Hawks were going to the
32:57
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Yeah, but that's like it's like it's like
33:01
Speaker 1: the Leprechaun in Boston, JJ. The leprechaun picks the Patriots
33:04
Speaker 1: to win every game. You're a Seahawks fan, JJ, You're
33:07
Speaker 1: gonna pick the Seahawks every game. Okay, Well, I'm told

38:40
Speaker 5: Here we go?
38:40
Speaker 1: Cooplelo what we got here? Cool?
38:42
Speaker 4: Matt Naggie has been the Chiefs offensive coordinator for the
38:44
Speaker 4: last three years, but his contract is up in case
38:46
Speaker 4: he's bringing back.
38:47
Speaker 5: Eric b.
38:48
Speaker 4: Enemy Reid said in an interview this week that he
38:50
Speaker 4: basically let Naggie walk so that he can find a
38:52
Speaker 4: new opportunity, and that that opportunity should be as a
38:54
Speaker 4: head coach.
38:55
Speaker 1: Ben, Do you think he'll get that opportunity. No, there's
38:58
Speaker 1: only two jobs open, the Raiders and the Arizona Cardinals.
39:01
Speaker 1: He's not getting those jobs. Everyone thought he was getting
39:04
Speaker 1: the Titans job. They went with Robert Sala. He's cooked.
39:08
Speaker 1: He was quietly let go by the Chiefs because they
39:11
Speaker 1: wanted somebody else. They were hoping he would get a
39:13
Speaker 1: head coaching job. He'll land up somewhere, but not a
39:15
Speaker 1: head coach.
39:15
Speaker 4: Next Baker, Mayfield will be playing for his fifth offensive
39:18
Speaker 4: coordinator in the last five seasons, with Zach Robinson being
39:20
Speaker 4: the latest Robinson dead. Baker gives you a chance to
39:23
Speaker 4: win every Sunday. Ben Baker was playing some of his
39:26
Speaker 4: best football and then things went downhill fast. How much
39:29
Speaker 4: were injuries to blame and how much was Baker to blame?
39:32
Speaker 1: Now? Baker played like he did in Cleveland the end
39:34
Speaker 1: of the year. He was terrible. It's on him. He's
39:37
Speaker 1: got to own it. He's got to be consistent. That's
39:39
Speaker 1: one of the reasons he's been bounced around the NFL.
39:42
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can trust him the way
39:44
Speaker 1: he played.
39:44
Speaker 4: Next, Duke and quarterback Darien Mensa came to an agreement
39:47
Speaker 4: Tuesday allowing Mensa to leave the program despite his two
39:50
Speaker 4: year contract. He's expected to head to Miami. What do
39:52
Speaker 4: you think the chances are they running back to the
39:54
Speaker 4: championship game.
39:55
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go less than ten percent. Less than ten percent,
39:59
Speaker 1: Kooper Loop. I know this is what you do now
40:01
Speaker 1: in college football. Just bringing the shiny new free agent.
40:03
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna work. How did we do mast?
