- 0:23Speaker 1: listens to. Yeah, we actually have you listening, which means
- 0:26Speaker 1: a lot. So here in hour number one, what's the
- 0:28Speaker 1: big takeaway from former NBA owner Mark Cuban saying that
- 0:32Speaker 1: the association should endorse and embrace tanking. Mark Cuban, seemingly
- 0:39Speaker 1: with a straight face, believes that the league should welcome
- 0:43Speaker 1: having teams that are openly not trying to win, like
- 0:47Speaker 1: the Washington Generals. What sticks out also about Adam Silver
- 0:52Speaker 1: supposedly being motivated to contain tanking because of gambling. And
- 0:58Speaker 1: do you believe that Jalen Brown had pure intentions with
- 1:01Speaker 1: his recent post about the Celtic success this season without
- 1:07Speaker 1: Jason Tatum will go there as well. It's all coming
- 1:09Speaker 1: away right now here. It is. Buckle up, it's our

- 2:40Speaker 1: it here on early early Wednesday for most still late
- 2:45Speaker 1: Tuesday night in the West, and we begin this hour
- 2:49Speaker 1: from Dallas. Yes, we begin from Dustin. Now, the NBA players,
- 2:55Speaker 1: with all those nights off for load management, they needed
- 2:58Speaker 1: more time off. Do you think the NBA players when
- 3:00Speaker 1: they're on their sabbatical they like, say, I can't go
- 3:03Speaker 1: to the beach today. I got to rest up so
- 3:05Speaker 1: I can go to the beach tomorrow. Does it just
- 3:09Speaker 1: is like that that disease is in their mind. They're like, Oh,
- 3:11Speaker 1: you know what, I was out drinking and I was
- 3:15Speaker 1: in the sun for four hours yesterday, so I'm gonna
- 3:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of sit back a little bit in
- 3:21Speaker 1: the in the hammock thing, and I don't want to
- 3:24Speaker 1: be out on sun too much the follow day. Well, anyway,
- 3:26Speaker 1: that's not the story. The story here is Mark Cuban,
- 3:30Speaker 1: who owned an NBA team, sold an NBA team, and
- 3:35Speaker 1: has been leaking stories to his buddies the useful idiots
- 3:38Speaker 1: in the media that he wants to buy an NBA
- 3:41Speaker 1: team again, which is rather interesting when you consider the
- 3:44Speaker 1: former majority owner of the Mavericks says that the fan experience,
- 3:50Speaker 1: the experience you have if you attend an NBA game,
- 3:55Speaker 1: is the main reason that the NBA should embrace should
- 4:02Speaker 1: embrace teams trying to lose better known by its colloquial
- 4:08Speaker 1: term tanking. Do you see this?
- 4:12Speaker 2: No?
- 4:12Speaker 1: Maybe not all right? Well, Mark Cuban with a bunch
- 4:15Speaker 1: of errors because he did it on X and I
- 4:18Speaker 1: guess he decided not to spell check it. Maybe he
- 4:20Speaker 1: fired the person that was supposed to spell check him.
- 4:22Speaker 1: And he said, I'm gonna clean this up because if
- 4:24Speaker 1: I read all the typos, it would really work. But
- 4:27Speaker 1: Cuban said that the NBA has been misguided this quote
- 4:31Speaker 1: misguided in thinking that fans want to see their teams
- 4:35Speaker 1: compete every night with a chance to win. It's never
- 4:38Speaker 1: ever been that way, Cuban went. Honestly, when I got
- 4:42Speaker 1: into the NBA, I thought Cuban said that they were
- 4:44Speaker 1: in the basketball business. We aren't. Cuban said, okay, we
- 4:49Speaker 1: are in the business of creating experiences for fans.
- 4:53Speaker 2: A god so good.
- 4:59Speaker 1: He went on say, seemingly with a straight face, that
- 5:01Speaker 1: few can remember the score from the last game they
- 5:04Speaker 1: saw or went to. They can't remember the dunks or
- 5:07Speaker 1: the shots. What they remember is who they were with
- 5:11Speaker 1: their family, their friends, a date. Cuban said, that's what
- 5:16Speaker 1: makes the experience special. Close quote so good. I can't
- 5:23Speaker 1: believe this is real. All right, so that is a
- 5:26Speaker 1: good jumping out point. Let us discuss the question for
- 5:30Speaker 1: the class. What is the big takeaway from Mark Cuban,
- 5:34Speaker 1: who owned an NBA team for years, saying that the
- 5:38Speaker 1: NBA should just indorse tanking. They should indorse tanking. Now
- 5:45Speaker 1: my thoughts on this, I've got Chuck E Cheese, Lone Ranger,
- 5:50Speaker 1: and Lazy Susan and we will combine all of these
- 5:55Speaker 1: things together and put them all together, and we're going
- 5:59Speaker 1: to have a delicious dish of spaghetti and meatballs is
- 6:03Speaker 1: what we're going to have. So a congratulations to Mark Cuban.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I would like to congratulate mister Cuban. There he wins
- 6:12Speaker 1: the gold jacket. This goes down as a first ballot
- 6:16Speaker 1: haul of bad take winner. Congratulations Mark, What a great
- 6:21Speaker 1: business strategy. Let's have some of our imagine, you know,
- 6:25Speaker 1: pick any restaurant here, just pick a random, random restaurant.
- 6:29Speaker 1: We'll say, well, I'll back out Back, guy, I will
- 6:32Speaker 1: pick Outback. We know our friend Louisiana, when he wants
- 6:34Speaker 1: to impress a woman, he goes to Anthony, goes down back.
- 6:37Speaker 1: So let's say Outback, and I know they haven't done that.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Great the last couple of years because of the price
- 6:42Speaker 1: points and all that. But let's say Outback said, why
- 6:44Speaker 1: don't we have like, we'll have ten or fifteen of
- 6:47Speaker 1: our franchises serve blooming onion, and we'll put cockroaches in there,
- 6:53Speaker 1: and we'll just and then we'll work on some other menu.
- 6:56Speaker 1: We'll just try to put a bad product out and
- 6:58Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. People go to Outback for the
- 7:01Speaker 1: experience to say, oh, I went out. You know Anthony
- 7:04Speaker 1: and Louisiana wants to impress a woman, he takes takes
- 7:07Speaker 1: her the Outback. So we'll just have certain franchises that
- 7:11Speaker 1: work for the company. We'll try to serve disgusting, cockroach
- 7:14Speaker 1: filled blooming onions. Okay, why not, Well they don't do that.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Why don't they do that because it's stupid. It's dumb, dumb,
- 7:23Speaker 1: du dum dumb dumb. So Cuban, if I understand right,
- 7:28Speaker 1: he thinks the paying customer is a complete moron, and
- 7:35Speaker 1: maybe you are. I mean, he could be right. You
- 7:37Speaker 1: know what, do I just sue the overnation. Maybe he's
- 7:39Speaker 1: absolutely right. Uh, And you don't know anything about basketball.
- 7:44Speaker 1: You couldn't tell a basketball from a grapefruit. That's what
- 7:48Speaker 1: Cuban thinks. You're so stupid that you just go out there.
- 7:53Speaker 1: It's a show.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Ah, right.
- 7:55Speaker 1: You know, he's essentially saying that the NBA not a sport.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Not a sport. It's it's like an adults chuck e
- 8:02Speaker 1: cheese and it get some tokens, go play the ski ball,
- 8:06Speaker 1: knock yourself out right, say chuck E cheese for adults.
- 8:09Speaker 1: That's what the NBA is at this point. You don't
- 8:11Speaker 1: remember the dunks, you don't remember the shots. You just
- 8:14Speaker 1: remember that you were there. Ah. The memories, Oh, the memory.
- 8:19Speaker 1: My god. Now the Mallard diagnosis, the Mallard diagnosis that
- 8:23Speaker 1: Cuban is suffering from what I call matrix level brain rot.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Matrix level brain rot. Now, this happens when you spend
- 8:33Speaker 1: way too much time on social media in a climate
- 8:37Speaker 1: controlled environment. You don't get out in the real world.
- 8:41Speaker 1: This is what happens. And we do these Mallard meet
- 8:44Speaker 1: and greets, and I've been very lucky to meet some
- 8:46Speaker 1: of you in all parts of the United States, and
- 8:48Speaker 1: it's been great, it's been fun. And I learn every
- 8:51Speaker 1: time I do one of those things, the people that
- 8:53Speaker 1: I come across are nothing like whatever that thing is
- 8:57Speaker 1: on social media. It's much different world. The real world
- 8:59Speaker 1: is much different than that world. And Cubans got this
- 9:02Speaker 1: warped sense of reality. It would appear if he thinks
- 9:05Speaker 1: that's it. He's defending the man's defending grade a low
- 9:09Speaker 1: grade product by calling it an experience. So why would
- 9:15Speaker 1: any business attempt to put quality in terms of entertainment.
- 9:19Speaker 1: It's just an experience. It doesn't matter who cares because
- 9:24Speaker 1: the other issue here, and this is why I think
- 9:26Speaker 1: Cuban's either a moron or he's doing some kind of
- 9:30Speaker 1: trick here. The downstream liability of what the NBA is
- 9:36Speaker 1: doing is insane to the membrane. Right, you serve up
- 9:40Speaker 1: lukewarm bowls of competitive apathy. The deadliest word in all
- 9:45Speaker 1: of sport is apathy. And you do that year after year,
- 9:50Speaker 1: and what happens is fans stop making memories, they stop
- 9:55Speaker 1: even knowing you exist. You become irrelevant. You're an afterthought,
- 10:01Speaker 1: is what you are. Right and consistent, It's been proven.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Consistency losing year after year. It isn't just a strategy.
- 10:10Speaker 1: If you will, it is anthrax for your business. It is.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And you can just knowice that it drives away. People
- 10:21Speaker 1: don't watch bad teams on television. While you said, well,
- 10:24Speaker 1: the arena experience, the NBA is a TV show, Uh,
- 10:30Speaker 1: it just it. It's a TV show people watch on television.
- 10:34Speaker 1: That's how they make their money. They're all actors in
- 10:36Speaker 1: the TV show. It's been that way and as long
- 10:39Speaker 1: as they can find people to pay them money, and
- 10:41Speaker 1: they just got a new TV contract, that's what's about.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And you look at the ratings of teams that have
- 10:46Speaker 1: tanked and are not trying to win and have terrible
- 10:48Speaker 1: or no one's watching. You think anyone's watching a Washington
- 10:50Speaker 1: Wizard's Game. Why would you you should go to a
- 10:54Speaker 1: looney bin. They're not trying to win. Why would you
- 10:57Speaker 1: bother watching. You'd be better off staring at the blank
- 11:01Speaker 1: wall over here to my left, you'd be better off.
- 11:05Speaker 1: So people don't watch losers and you are a TV shows,
- 11:10Speaker 1: you're driving away your audience. You know how hard it
- 11:12Speaker 1: is to get people back. I do a radios show.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I know how hard it is when people stop listening.
- 11:16Speaker 1: You got eight new people listen. It's not the easiest
- 11:18Speaker 1: thing in the world. It's not. And if the outcome
- 11:21Speaker 1: of these games does not matter. If that doesn't matter,
- 11:26Speaker 1: then the NBA is just what is it? A light
- 11:28Speaker 1: show with girls shaking their ass cheerleading? I guess that's it.
- 11:33Speaker 1: What if the cheerleaders are bad, Well, it's an experience. Okay,
- 11:36Speaker 1: thank you appreciate that. Now, keeping the theme of the
- 11:40Speaker 1: hour going here on the Ben Mahler Show. So we
- 11:44Speaker 1: are hearing that the main reason Commissioner Adam Silver recently
- 11:48Speaker 1: has attempted to unring the bell cracking down on late
- 11:54Speaker 1: game tanking by the Utah Jazz and the Indiana Pacers.
- 11:58Speaker 1: And there are supposedly more fines coming. They will announce
- 12:01Speaker 1: those once they get back after the long hiatus. That said,
- 12:06Speaker 1: the NBA, the theory is the reason, all of a sudden,
- 12:09Speaker 1: out of the will Adam Silver has sat there and
- 12:11Speaker 1: twiddled his thumb. Well, this has been going on under
- 12:13Speaker 1: his entire watch, and even before he was there. It's
- 12:17Speaker 1: because of the g man gamblers. That's why. So question
- 12:25Speaker 1: what sticks out about the chatter that Adam Silver is
- 12:29Speaker 1: motivated to contain tanking because of gambling? All right? So
- 12:38Speaker 1: the cartoon image in my head on this one, Yeah,
- 12:41Speaker 1: the bubble. Just imagine they're like a cartoon bubble to
- 12:43Speaker 1: the right side of my head. And the Images Commissioner
- 12:47Speaker 1: Adam Silver suddenly riding in into town and he's got
- 12:53Speaker 1: a cowboy outfit on. He's the lone Ranger, got silver
- 12:57Speaker 1: spurs and they're jingling along there. He's the lone Ranger
- 13:01Speaker 1: and he's got his lasso and he's gonna lasso tanking
- 13:06Speaker 1: and he says Hi ho Silver. And because he's Adam Silver,
- 13:10Speaker 1: you know, he says high ho Silver, just like the
- 13:12Speaker 1: lone Ranger. Keeping it real. Now, Adam is not protecting
- 13:16Speaker 1: the integrity of the game. We know that is not
- 13:19Speaker 1: the case. It's not about the integrity of the game.
- 13:21Speaker 1: That ship sailed many many years ago and it actually
- 13:25Speaker 1: hit an iceberg and it is currently sitting at the
- 13:27Speaker 1: bottom of the Atlantic Division where that is. But so
- 13:32Speaker 1: Silver is looking to pacify his business partners, better known
- 13:38Speaker 1: as the Bookmakers, who have started to cry foul here,
- 13:42Speaker 1: like what are you doing to us, dude? I mean,
- 13:44Speaker 1: come on, now, that's not right. So the NBA is
- 13:47Speaker 1: so deep and I like gambling, but they're so deeply
- 13:51Speaker 1: they're so deeply in bed with the Bookmakers the NBA
- 13:53Speaker 1: that they're practically sharing the same pillow. They're cuddling and
- 13:57Speaker 1: canoodling and spooning with the gambling houses. So Silver isn't worried. Now,
- 14:02Speaker 1: he's not worried about the fan. Of course, we know
- 14:05Speaker 1: Mark Cuban thinks you're all a bunch of idiots anyway.
- 14:07Speaker 1: You love teams losing. So Silver isn't worried about the fans.
- 14:12Speaker 1: He's worried about the disgruntled whales. And there are some
- 14:17Speaker 1: big blue whales out there that are angry. The suits
- 14:20Speaker 1: that are at the gambling houses, they're the ones that
- 14:22Speaker 1: are upset. And when you see a random coach not
- 14:26Speaker 1: even hide the fact that, like the Utah Jazz coach,
- 14:30Speaker 1: Hey dude, dank come on haphazardly taking star players out
- 14:35Speaker 1: of the lineup and then not even hiding it. The
- 14:39Speaker 1: people that run the books, they start getting a little upset.
- 14:43Speaker 1: They start sweating a little bit. And the phone, they
- 14:45Speaker 1: have the special bat phone, and they contact the lizard
- 14:49Speaker 1: person and they say, can we get ahold of Adam Silver? Sure,
- 14:51Speaker 1: no problem, we'll put you on without him, And then
- 14:53Speaker 1: his phone starts ringing. He gets starts getting those late
- 14:56Speaker 1: night text messages. Hey, what happened to that? Sacramento Kings
- 14:58Speaker 1: game here, and so again these narrow minded owners, the
- 15:03Speaker 1: narrow minded owners who are out there, who have all
- 15:09Speaker 1: gone to the same chat. I may eve we're on
- 15:12Speaker 1: the same webinar or something like that, where they're all
- 15:14Speaker 1: indoctrinated into this cult of trust the process. Even though
- 15:18Speaker 1: sam Hinkey got decommissioned from the NBA, excommunicated from the NBA,
- 15:24Speaker 1: And so you're selling this snake oil of tanking. I
- 15:29Speaker 1: would get rid of the draft. We said this in
- 15:31Speaker 1: a previous episode. Just get rid of it. They don't
- 15:33Speaker 1: deserve it. Let them tank. How great would it be
- 15:36Speaker 1: if the NBA teams start tanking and there's no prize,
- 15:40Speaker 1: they just intentionally lose for no reason. How amazing would
- 15:44Speaker 1: that be? My God, would that be great? That would
- 15:47Speaker 1: be so good. So my advice to Adam Silver, the
- 15:51Speaker 1: mal think tank was activated. We like to activate it
- 15:54Speaker 1: from time to time. So the advice to Adam Silver here,
- 15:58Speaker 1: the NBA needs to get a deal with Procter and Gamble.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Now why do they need to deal with Procter and
- 16:04Speaker 1: Gamble so they can hire mister Clean. They need to
- 16:08Speaker 1: bring in mister Clean here as a brand ambassador for
- 16:11Speaker 1: the NBA, bring mister clean in. There's a lot to
- 16:13Speaker 1: tidy up here and there's a big grease fire. So
- 16:18Speaker 1: I don't know that mister clean can help with that,
- 16:19Speaker 1: but it's a big problem. Now the last word, We
- 16:22Speaker 1: now head to Boston. A bubbling controversy, bubbling controversy, pro
- 16:30Speaker 1: bouncy ball, pro bouncy ball, bubbling controversy. So despite Jason
- 16:33Speaker 1: Tatum being persona non grata, although I guess he's coming
- 16:36Speaker 1: back here soon, they have to have the final episode
- 16:39Speaker 1: of the docu series that he's putting together about his comeback.
- 16:43Speaker 1: But Jason Tatum has been out. Jalen Brown has been
- 16:46Speaker 1: the big man on campus for the Celtics and they
- 16:48Speaker 1: have positioned themselves as one of the better teams in
- 16:51Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, which appears to be pretty wide open.
- 16:54Speaker 1: I only anyone at the top is like unbeatable in
- 16:56Speaker 1: Eastern Guns. It's pretty wide open. The Celtics are right
- 16:59Speaker 1: in the mix. And Brown recently posted a graphic. I
- 17:03Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this or not, if you're blind,
- 17:04Speaker 1: you heard about it. He posted this thing on social
- 17:07Speaker 1: media and it highlighted how essentially this Celtic team this
- 17:13Speaker 1: year is a carbon copy. The Boston team is a
- 17:15Speaker 1: carbon copy performance wise of what they were last season,
- 17:20Speaker 1: which is rather shocking when you consider the fact that
- 17:22Speaker 1: Celtics not only to get rid of Jason Tatum, Porzingi's average,
- 17:27Speaker 1: Al Horford, some other guys, A bunch of guys were
- 17:29Speaker 1: gone from that team last year, Drew Holliday, It's unloaded
- 17:34Speaker 1: a lot of the depth, and then Jason Tatum got hurt.
- 17:37Speaker 1: So Brown his intentions were, Wow, listen, I'm celebrating the team.
- 17:43Speaker 1: He got tremendous backlash. Tremendous backlash is what he got
- 17:50Speaker 1: on social media, and he attempted to explain himself in
- 17:54Speaker 1: a recent interview. He said, quote, this is Jalen Brown
- 17:56Speaker 1: and the Celtics. He said, the thing I posted that
- 17:59Speaker 1: was about celebrating our group. Jalen Brown said, people make
- 18:04Speaker 1: it seem like it was about me because that's what
- 18:07Speaker 1: people wanted it to be about. But in reality, I'm
- 18:11Speaker 1: just so proud, he said, of our group. I'm extremely proud. Question,
- 18:16Speaker 1: I'll frame it this way. Do you believe that Jason
- 18:19Speaker 1: Tatum had pure intentions with that graphic posting the Celtics
- 18:26Speaker 1: being almost identical to what they were with Jason Tatum,
- 18:30Speaker 1: the success they're having this season. So do you think
- 18:32Speaker 1: his intentions you believe they were pure? So after a
- 18:37Speaker 1: minutes long deliberation of the available evidence, we have determined
- 18:41Speaker 1: absolutely not. Zero point zero point zero point zero. Uh yeah,
- 18:51Speaker 1: I imagine Jason, you know, Jason Tatum's looking at this
- 18:54Speaker 1: and oh, I'm offended. And then Jalen Brown, He's sitting
- 18:57Speaker 1: there at a greasy diner in easty spinning a lazy
- 19:01Speaker 1: Susan and saying that he's just admiring the craftsmanship of
- 19:05Speaker 1: the lazy Susan. That's it, right, He really actually wanted
- 19:08Speaker 1: all the dishes, he wanted everything and all that. And
- 19:11Speaker 1: last I checked the NBA, when the players actually show
- 19:14Speaker 1: up and want to compete and they're not tanking or
- 19:16Speaker 1: doing load management, it's the star system? Am I wrong
- 19:19Speaker 1: on that? Does anyone disagree? It's the star system in
- 19:22Speaker 1: the NBA. This is not a group project. It's not
- 19:26Speaker 1: and not everyone gets a participation ribbon in the NBA.
- 19:31Speaker 1: So Brown said he was celebrating the team. That's what
- 19:34Speaker 1: he said. The Celtics were supposed to fall through a
- 19:39Speaker 1: trapdoor into a pit of angry vipers without Jason Tatum.
- 19:45Speaker 1: That was the narrative, and that has not happened. They're winning. Still.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Brown is playing very well and he wants every man,
- 19:53Speaker 1: woman and child to know in the world that he
- 19:55Speaker 1: is strutting around right now like a disco ball at
- 19:59Speaker 1: Studio fifteen. He is. He's letting everyone see he's like
- 20:02Speaker 1: the keynote speaker Jalen Brown, the keynote speaker at the

- 23:17Speaker 1: with Mark Cuban, who put out on social media that
- 23:22Speaker 1: the NBA as an organization should embrace a number of
- 23:26Speaker 1: teams not trying to win. No. Cuban has been fined
- 23:30Speaker 1: more than anyone in NBA history for tanking, so he
- 23:34Speaker 1: knows a thing or two about tanking. He no longer
- 23:38Speaker 1: owns the Dallas Mavericks. He's like a bit owner in it.
- 23:42Speaker 1: He's like the number one fanboy for the Dallas Mavericks.
- 23:44Speaker 1: But he does believe that you, the consumer of pro
- 23:49Speaker 1: bouncy ball, do not care about who wins, and you
- 23:53Speaker 1: don't mind tanking, and you just want to go see
- 23:56Speaker 1: the hot cheerleaders and the mascot dunk and the woman
- 24:00Speaker 1: on the tricycle of balancing plates at halftime. That's all
- 24:03Speaker 1: you care about. And you don't really care, and that's it,
- 24:05Speaker 1: and that's you've never cared. According to Mark Cuban, this
- 24:09Speaker 1: is a man that owned an NBA team. He speaks
- 24:12Speaker 1: for the owners and that's what he believes. Eight seven
- 24:15Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox Later on this hour, we
- 24:18Speaker 1: will do the Dougie if you will. Late Night drug
- 24:21Speaker 1: Tester writs and says, if Mark Cuban wants to be
- 24:24Speaker 1: once the fans rather to embrace an experience, they should
- 24:27Speaker 1: forget the NBA and invest their time in Bennie Versus
- 24:30Speaker 1: the Penny. Only two hundred and one days until new
- 24:33Speaker 1: episodes of Bennie Versus the Penny? And where will those
- 24:38Speaker 1: new episodes be developing? Hot dot dot dot. We'll see
- 24:41Speaker 1: where they end up. Ya feeme in shit, Cogo writes,
- 24:44Speaker 1: and he says, Hey, Mallard, a plus and a glazon
- 24:49Speaker 1: raisin anti Ann's pretzel. On the Mallard monologue, I applaud
- 24:54Speaker 1: ripping pro bouncy ball and the Nordic Alien Commissioner. All right,
- 24:59Speaker 1: very good. And Joe the ghost Hunter says, can I
- 25:02Speaker 1: get a birthday shout out from my favorite gas bag? No, Joe,
- 25:07Speaker 1: I cannot cannot wish you a happy birthday. If you
- 25:10Speaker 1: want to contact me on cameo, I will be more
- 25:13Speaker 1: than happy to do that. But we do not do shadows.
- 25:15Speaker 1: We are not a morning zoom show. We are an
- 25:18Speaker 1: overnight show, and as an overnight show, we can't He
- 25:21Speaker 1: doesn't work anywhere, so we can't do We can't do
- 25:24Speaker 1: birthday shoutous. We're unable to do that. I hope you
- 25:28Speaker 1: understand it's nothing personal. If we were a morning show,
- 25:32Speaker 1: we would have a little segment where we'd have all
- 25:34Speaker 1: the sound effects and we'd wish you a happy birthday.
- 25:36Speaker 1: And I think you have a better chance to Joe
- 25:38Speaker 1: the ghost Hunter, of having an actual Poultergeist wish you
- 25:40Speaker 1: a happy birthday. I think the Poultergeist crowd would wish
- 25:43Speaker 1: you a happy birthday. We just cannot do it. We
- 25:45Speaker 1: cannot do it, and I certainly will not wish you
- 25:47Speaker 1: a happy birthday. If I ever meet you at the
- 25:49Speaker 1: Ohio mallor meet and greet, which will be coming up
- 25:51Speaker 1: later this year, we will not We will not have
- 25:54Speaker 1: any kind of celebration. It will not happen. Supermarket. Steve
- 25:58Speaker 1: writes in from so Cow. He says, Hey, Mallard, I'm
- 26:02Speaker 1: wondering why none of those reporters felt like asking Jalen Brown,
- 26:06Speaker 1: if you thought you didn't need a permit for your
- 26:10Speaker 1: function in Beverly Hills, why did you apply for one
- 26:15Speaker 1: in the first place. Yes, Steve, I listen, he's not
- 26:21Speaker 1: from here, Jalen Brown. They do things much differently in
- 26:23Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. It's a little bubble. They keep it a bubble.
- 26:26Speaker 1: They keep the riff raft out of Beverly Hills because
- 26:28Speaker 1: you actually have to follow the rules. Most of southern California,
- 26:31Speaker 1: you can poop on the street and pee wherever you want.
- 26:33Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. They don't care. In fact, the mayor
- 26:37Speaker 1: of La embraces it, and the whole city burns down.
- 26:40Speaker 1: She goes to Africa or whatever. But in Beverly Hills,
- 26:43Speaker 1: it's a little different. It's just a little bit different.
- 26:45Speaker 1: They actually have rules. They follow the rules, and that's amazing.
- 26:47Speaker 1: The streets are nice and all that. And so Jaylen
- 26:50Speaker 1: Brown felt like he was the victim. I guess, I
- 26:52Speaker 1: guess that's what he felt like. And so he played
- 26:54Speaker 1: the victim card from the bottom of the deck and
- 26:56Speaker 1: that works well. It works well on social media to
- 26:58Speaker 1: play the victim. Didn't He actually say that too, like
- 27:01Speaker 1: he felt like La was attacking him because he was
- 27:03Speaker 1: on a rival team. Yeah, I'm sure the cops in
- 27:06Speaker 1: Beverly Hills care. Yeah, I'm sure Bobby and Florida says
- 27:12Speaker 1: the new NBA slogan embraced last place. He says, that's
- 27:15Speaker 1: key lin Pie, Bobby in Florida and Josh as those
- 27:20Speaker 1: teams tanking need to get the Willy Wonka notice rest
- 27:23Speaker 1: in peace. Gene Wilder JJ from Renton writes, and he
- 27:26Speaker 1: said the NBA is garbage. Bring back the SuperSonics and
- 27:31Speaker 1: Mariah Carey. Well, I'm hearing for years that the Sonics
- 27:36Speaker 1: are going to come back. The SuperSonics will be back.
- 27:38Speaker 1: We've been waiting. We're not getting any younger. Fat Daddy
- 27:42Speaker 1: rites and who's your daddy? Fat Daddy writes in he
- 27:45Speaker 1: says Big Ben a great opening monologue as always. Mark Cuban,
- 27:49Speaker 1: I think he's on too many sharp tranquilizers. If they
- 27:53Speaker 1: are going to encourage tanking, they are going to have
- 27:56Speaker 1: to make the ticket prices tank. Well Cuban did make,
- 28:00Speaker 1: and he said the Mavericks had some really cheap ticket prices.
- 28:02Speaker 1: He said, like under five dollars. And he said they
- 28:05Speaker 1: stopped doing that because people were scalping him. God forbid,
- 28:09Speaker 1: somebody try to make a buck on the Dallas Mavericks.
- 28:12Speaker 1: They do. They don't want that, They don't want that
- 28:14Speaker 1: at all. Yaphimi says Adam Silver in true form. Who
- 28:18Speaker 1: else do we have? Ian says, thank god you got
- 28:21Speaker 1: the phones working again for the callers. I didn't want
- 28:23Speaker 1: to miss ask a weed man, Well, that was yesterday.
- 28:27Speaker 1: I feel like that's twenty four hours late. We did
- 28:29Speaker 1: ask a weed man yesterday, and then he misspelled the
- 28:31Speaker 1: hollering James name and says, hollering James is in the
- 28:34Speaker 1: lead for Caller of the Year. Now, that would be
- 28:38Speaker 1: a massive upset of hollering. James is the caller of
- 28:41Speaker 1: the year, the most coveted prize in all of overnight
- 28:44Speaker 1: talk radio, and James hollering James wins Caller of the Year.
- 28:50Speaker 1: That would make him an enemy of Marcel. Should be
- 28:53Speaker 1: a shocking, shocking development, is what it would be. Doc
- 28:56Speaker 1: Dan says, one of these days I may have to
- 28:58Speaker 1: pick up the hand set here and dial the show. Well,
- 29:02Speaker 1: don't get crazy now, Clint writes in from Parts Unknown,
- 29:07Speaker 1: and he is thirty years a got a mechanical. He's
- 29:11Speaker 1: a mechanic, professional mechanic. So that's you need your something fixed,
- 29:15Speaker 1: you'll fix it. Clint says, tanking is like going to
- 29:17Speaker 1: chuck e cheese thinking you're the lone ranger, then realizing
- 29:21Speaker 1: you're the tupperware on the lazy Susan that never gets used. Well,
- 29:24Speaker 1: that's a great tribute to the Malard modelogue. We thank you,
- 29:28Speaker 1: thank you, for that not a burner, says Anthony and
- 29:30Speaker 1: Louisiana could not wait for Lorena. He has too much
- 29:35Speaker 1: love to give and just sit idly and wait. So
- 29:37Speaker 1: I guess he's moved on there. Anthony, Andy in Line Lakes, Minnesota, says,
- 29:43Speaker 1: a good opening model like his grade. He says, the
- 29:45Speaker 1: Timberwolves did this for the first twenty five years. This
- 29:49Speaker 1: is nothing new, mister Cuban. All right, to the phones
- 29:52Speaker 1: we go, and in the leadoff chair we go now
- 29:56Speaker 1: to Arizona, and we go to Tucson, Arizona for Mike
- 30:02Speaker 1: in Tucson. Hello, Mike in Tucson.
- 30:05Speaker 2: Welcome, heyde man, how'd you do it?
- 30:09Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a wildcat, but
- 30:13Speaker 1: not an Arizona Wildcat. Well, actually they're not bad this year,
- 30:16Speaker 1: they're pretty good. So maybe I would be an Arizona Wildcat.
- 30:20Speaker 2: But a man.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Doesn't matter until the tournament another month ago here, then
- 30:28Speaker 1: it matters.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Well, Ben, I just want to thank you. Ben. I
- 30:34Speaker 2: should have a care practice. I hope the.

- 33:44Speaker 1: I want to do old guy radio. Give me a
- 33:45Speaker 1: couple of minutes old guy radio. Doug Mo is dead.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Doug mo was an NBA coach. I got into the
- 33:52Speaker 1: NBA as a young lad. Doug actually had just stopped
- 33:57Speaker 1: becoming he was He was a head coach of the
- 33:58Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets When I started was the first year after
- 34:01Speaker 1: Doug Moo stopped coaching in the NBA. He then came
- 34:04Speaker 1: back to the NBA as an assistant coach. He was
- 34:09Speaker 1: lived a great life, checked out at age eighty seven
- 34:12Speaker 1: there and he was a pretty good player I heard.
- 34:15Speaker 1: I was way before my time. Played at North Carolina
- 34:18Speaker 1: under Dean Smith, the legendary Dean Smith. There was an
- 34:21Speaker 1: All American in college. But what I remember about Doug
- 34:26Speaker 1: moh and this was really that generation of mom and
- 34:28Speaker 1: pop ownership. In the NBA. You had a bunch of
- 34:31Speaker 1: disheveled coaches that looked like they should be driving a
- 34:37Speaker 1: taxi somewhere back when they had taxis, right. You had
- 34:39Speaker 1: Doug mo in Denver. Frank Layden was the coach of
- 34:43Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz. Don Nelson coached a bunch of NBA
- 34:46Speaker 1: teams and these guys were all bedraggled. Like these NBA
- 34:50Speaker 1: teams have twenty coaches now. They had one coach and
- 34:54Speaker 1: maybe two assistant coaches when those guys were were coaching.
- 34:57Speaker 1: But these were great characters. We don't really do you
- 35:00Speaker 1: have much of that anymore because everything's so corporate in sports.
- 35:04Speaker 1: The great characters. I'm very happy that I got to
- 35:06Speaker 1: experience that. And a lot of it was baseball, mostly
- 35:09Speaker 1: baseball managers like Tommy Lis Sorda and Earl Weaver and
- 35:13Speaker 1: Loop Panela and people Billy Martin, people like that that
- 35:15Speaker 1: were characters. But basketball coaches were also cares of Football
- 35:18Speaker 1: coaches were great characters. Everyone's so robotic these days, it's
- 35:22Speaker 1: it's quite disappointing. But Doug Moll was a great character.
- 35:25Speaker 1: There's a famous story about Doug Mo. He hated flying, like,
- 35:31Speaker 1: couldn't stand. Now he had to fly because the job
- 35:33Speaker 1: required you to fly. Yeah, yeah, you could not stand flying,
- 35:38Speaker 1: but you flew a lot as and you flew commercial
- 35:40Speaker 1: flights back before the everyone got spoiled in pro sports.
- 35:43Speaker 1: They still complained, but they'd fly commercial flights. And the
- 35:47Speaker 1: legendary story and I don't know if this is true
- 35:49Speaker 1: or not, but the story was told to me and
- 35:51Speaker 1: then was repeated and all that stuff. So he was flying,
- 35:56Speaker 1: did not Doug Mo, former old time Nuggets coach. And
- 35:59Speaker 1: there was an incident on a plane where he was
- 36:01Speaker 1: introduced to someone on a plane and the person joked
- 36:07Speaker 1: that Doug Mo must be the student in the group.
- 36:11Speaker 1: And Mo shot back to this person and said, what
- 36:13Speaker 1: are you a wise guy? That person turned out to me. Now,
- 36:18Speaker 1: this was before he became who he became. But Richard Nixon,
- 36:21Speaker 1: the provincial president of the United States, and Doug bows
- 36:25Speaker 1: what are you a wise guy? And well, the way
- 36:29Speaker 1: that went, some would say he was a wise pretty
- 36:33Speaker 1: good and Denver great with Doug Moe's coach at home,
- 36:36Speaker 1: that incredible home record, and he always would call people
- 36:40Speaker 1: he'd compete against stiffs, but that was a sign of respect.
- 36:44Speaker 1: He said that the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan Jordan,
- 36:48Speaker 1: and he'd say, a bunch of stiffs and all that.
- 36:51Speaker 1: But again, just a great character. And so rest in peace.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Doug mo a life well lived, longtime coach of the
- 36:58Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets, and passes away at the age of eighty seven.
- 37:01Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahler Show. Time now for the
- 37:06Speaker 1: who am I? Game? And we'll go to football for
- 37:09Speaker 1: the who am I?
- 37:09Speaker 2: Game?
- 37:10Speaker 1: And here it is. I was nicknamed back back in
- 37:14Speaker 1: the day. I was nicknamed the most patient back in
- 37:17Speaker 1: NFL history. I became the first player in NFL history
- 37:20Speaker 1: to rush for one hundred and fifty or more yards
