  Speaker 2: You have a problem with Piston star Cade cutting ember.

  Speaker 2: Would you have a problem with him sneaking away with
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the MVP Award by actually staying healthy? A number of
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the top candidates are going to miss too many games
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: and be ineligible. Also, will the Golden State Warriors be
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: haunted by the Christops Porzingis trade? Are they already being
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: haunted by that trade? Perzingis is hurt again? And do
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you believe Kansas star Darren Peterson will be downgraded in
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the NBA draft because of all the games that he
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: has missed with his various injuries for the Jayhawks. We'll
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: talk about all that and more right now here. It
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: is our number one. There are all kinds of ways
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to win awards. Sometimes you're better than everyone else, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: sometimes everyone else sucks and you end up winning. Welcome
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Another night of the Ben Malor Show. As we are
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: side by side in the air and rewear chiseling away
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the overnight hours and serving up goodness in every single
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: take here coast to coast, border to border and beyond,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: blizzard or no blizzard from the robustly powerful microphones of
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: FSR AM monating live from the roller as we are
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: driving a steamroller right over the radio dial here from
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios. As we begin
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: anew now legally blind, Christopher reminds us that this hour
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: made possible by our friends at ti Iraq. For over
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers like Malard
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: prop Guy, ferg Dog and and so many others including
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: alfiellion O Pinter find find out what they how, what
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and where they drive fast and freeback by free road
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that makes moving Man Matt very happy as he drives
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: around the highways and byways of North America out of Boston.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And even Spacoli loves that you go over to tiraq
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: dot com and he knows that's the way tire buying
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: should be tireraq dot com. So our lead this hour
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: is from the wacky world of pro Bouncy Ball a
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: light card, Buy design, Buy design. As they spread out
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the NBA schedule, you don't want too many games on
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a random Monday night, So we didn't get that we
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: had a light card in the NBA. One of the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: games that was highlighted by in me showcase game, you
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: had the Spurs and the Pistons who met in the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: NBA finals many many years ago before we were all alive, and.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: That was a dud.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Wo Man, that was a dud of an NBA finals,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: But nonetheless the current vintage of these two teams, you've
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: got two teams on the come. As they say, Victor
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Wemba Nyama got the best of this matchup there twenty
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: one points, seventeen rebounds and six assists. San Antonio ends
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: up winning comfortably. Kid Cunningham, who we're going to talk
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: about here, he struggled in this game. He got sixteen
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: points on twenty six shots. That's Alan Iverson like from
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: back in his day. There just five of twenty six
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: for Kid Cuttingham in the law. However, despite that, popular
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: opinion by popular people has Cad Cuttingham where do you
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: know where he is? At the very top of MVP mountain? Say,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: why are you kidding? Me, Holy Joe Dumar's batman. What
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: are you talking about? That's like Rasheed Wallace craziness is
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: what that is? Well, yeah, he's supposedly right there, neck
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and neck as we go down the stretch. In the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: NBA regular season, the NBA has a sixty five game rule,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: very controversial to the writers that lick the toes of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the players.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: They're very upset by that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Not fair, all right, you actually have to show up
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and play.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Woo woo who.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: They can plain.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So the rules introduced not that long ago because the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: players in the NBA don't like actually playing.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It's a problem.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And the integrity of the awards on the line, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: so you put all this together that they put this
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: rule in, and so this is the season where things
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: are getting really really.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Crazy in many ways.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So the MVP race under the guidelines, as we mentioned,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: player must appear in sixty five games to qualify for
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the honors, and they have about a quarter of the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: NBA season to go, about a quarter remaining in the NBA,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and several of the front runners are dropping like a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: trash over garbage and they're just falling down, and a
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: couple others are walking a tight rope to be eligible,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and so by default, Kid Cunningham is looking more and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: more if you look at the prediction market and the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: gambling market and all that stuff, looking more and more
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: like the MVP. This season in the NBA, he's played
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: forty nine now, I guess fifty fifty of fifty six
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: games now and he's only missed six games, Kid Cunningham,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: So that gives him, if my man is correct, eleven
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: game cushion. He's got an eleven game cushion before this
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: becomes an issue, so he's.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Got a lot of leeway.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Whereas players like Sga, Lukeka Wemby and the Joker do
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: not do not have the cushion. They don't have the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: cushion there. They are missing the bare necessities if you will,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: all right, so good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the question do you have a problem or would you
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: have a problem with Piston Star Kade Cunningham sneaking away
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: with an MVP award just because he happened to play
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the required number of games, unlike these other bozos who
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't look clow be able to even get to sixty
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: five games. So just by staying healthy you can win
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the MVP award. So I've got day Spa my thoughts here,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: day Spa, Kentucky Derby, and DNA embedded, and we will
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: combine all of these things together. We're gonna make biscuits
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and gravy is what We're gonna make, delicious biscuits and gravy.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: So to begin here, though, A, I have no problem,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: zero problem with this. If Kate cutting him tiptoes through
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the tulips and ends up going past the velvet ropes
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and takes home the MVP title because SGA, Luca Wemby,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the Alien Guy, the Parisian Prodigy Guy, and the Joker
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: were busy flirting with the attendance office.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: So be it. I'm fine. Good for him.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Availability is valuable, and it's not like Kate Cunningham stings.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: He's had good He's had very good season. Pistons have
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: been they were the top team. I don't have that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: lost to the Spurs. They're still the top team, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: they they have been one of the top teams in
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the NBA most of the year. So you have a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: player who's their top player and he happens to be
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: in position to win the MVP. It's not outrageous, right,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and he has been dependable. The others playing buck chicken
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: with the calendar, but buck chicken with the calendar. They
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: are like the way I look at it, You know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I'm someone to prize myself in showing up the work
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and being here. And I think part of this job
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: is that it becomes part of the routine. Right, If
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: you listen to something, you want to hear that person there,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and if they're not there, then you'll find something else
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to do. And I think it's a big part of it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And I also think if you're on a team and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: you've got people depending on you, you kind of not
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: you kind of need to be there, that kind of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you need to be there.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It's a big deal.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And so if you're you're absent, if you can't reach
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: sixty five games out of eighty two, you're not getting
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: robbed out of anything.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You're absent.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And I would say even at sixty five games, if
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: my math is correct, you're still missing. You're missing twenty percent,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: about twenty percent of the schedule the grind. So do
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: your job. When the league installed the sixty five game threshold,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it wasn't performance art, it wasn't it was like, listen,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: we've got a problem here. This was a direct response
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to load management theater, load management theater, which is going
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: on here starring the biggest names in the association. They're
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: all doing it, you know, they're all doing cosplay as
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Street Close Anthony Davis. They're like, hey, I like that
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Street Close guy, Anthony Davis. Let's be more like him.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Let's miss a bunch of games. So if you want
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the MVP, it's not that hard. Will be the adults.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: You show up and you play, You punch the clock,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you lace them up. You play the games against the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Wizards when no one's there. You play the games against
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Sacramento when nobody wants to see that game because it's Sacramento.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You show up to those games, right, And if Kate
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: cutting him ends up cashing in because he stayed vertical
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: while the others were in a lazy boy chair, then
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: so be it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: The NVP award in.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: The NBA should not stand for a most vacation Player.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: And if you give it to someone who plays less
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: than sixty five games, and you're giving it to someone
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: who did not do their job, so why would you
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: reward them? But I do know we live in the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: age where you do reward this kind of thing. There's
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of soft people that like this. They may
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: want players to miss more games. And I always chuckle
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: because those people are called losers. All right now, page
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: to the Bay Area we go. When I was seeing
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the fallout of a trade at the deadline, here the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors. They wanted Jannis Identa Coombo wanted the
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Greek freak. They couldn't get the Greek free Where's the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: could get him? Where's the great freak? Couldn't get him?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So they had to settle for their backup plan. You
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: might remember Christops Porzingis, and already alarm bells have been sounded.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Just like that. Porzingis.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: He missed Golden State's last game, and he is expected
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to miss the next two games because of an illness.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And the word is Porzingis. When he was with the Celtics,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: he was diagnosed with pots. Look it up, not pot
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: but pots. It's an illness and it's affected him. Going
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: back a couple of years to at least of the
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: playoffs in twenty twenty four with Boston, and this season,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the unicorn has appeared in not one, not two, not three,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: not four, how about eighteen games. That's it, eighteen games,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: not much, not much. So the question will the Warriors
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: be haunted by the Christops Porzingis trade, as there are
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: some reports out saying that is the case. The word
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: is already afraid that they have made a terrible mistake
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: in acquiring Porzingis. So to answer the question, I am
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: nodding my head. Yes, I'm nodding my head. Yes that
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: this is is bad mojo for the Golden State Warriors.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Here the Warriors who are already and we're a couple
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: weeks into this, they're already sleeping with the lights on
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: because of the Porzingis trade, Like, what have we done
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the Boogeyman.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: We've acquired the Boogeyman. Bad job by us.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: You can hear the floorboards creaking at the Chase Center
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: there in downtown San Francisco. Right, buyer's remorse. Oh yeah, absolutely,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a case of buyer's re moarse here and it's alive
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: and well.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: By the bay.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: They traded away Jonathan Kuminga, who is not Kaminga is
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: not like the greatest thing in the world or anything
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: like that. However, that was their last shiny asset. That
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: was their last piece of the pie that they could
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: get something somebody that wasn't washed up.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: In a million years old who can't play anymore like
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Draymond Green.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: They could have gotten something of value for Kuminga, who
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: was in Steve kurs doghouse, and they got an expiring
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: contract in bubble wrap is what they got. That's that's
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: what they got from Atlanta. Porzingis is a seven footer.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: He should wear that costume with the question marks on
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it from Batman, right, the Joker and all this because.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: It's it's insane or the Riddler.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Rather, it's it's not a corner stone. He's not a
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: cornerstone guy. And they knew going in he wasn't gonna
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: be a cornerstone player, but they were hoping he would
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: not be just another Jenga piece. And that's that's where
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: he's at at this particular point. It's kind of like
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the Warriors went to the auction, the thoroughbred auction. They
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: bought a thoroughbred at the auction, and they were all
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: excited about They started texting everybody they knew. They said,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: oh man, we're going to the Kentucky Derby. We just
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: went to the horse auction. We just got a thoroughbread.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Oh you did right. They left out the part that
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the horse they bought was on discount because it had
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: three legs. It was missing a leg. So good luck
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: with that, pal, good luck. I'm sure you'll do very well.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Churchill downs here. And also, I don't want to hear
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the well when healthy speech. I've heard enough of that.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I don't need to hear that one more time. When healthy,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: if only you stay healthy. This just into Fox Sports Radio.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Injury prone players get injured video at eleven Injury prone
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: players get injured. Shocking, a shocking revelation here, So come
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: on and porzingis now, it's.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Not all bad.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: He does have a seat, granted it's a booster seat.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Porzingis Christops Worzingis at the kiddie table with street clothes,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, joellenb Ben Simmons, who's think I think he's
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: fishing now he's not even in the NBA and Kawhi
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Leonard and Paul George isn't even invited and he should
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: be invited. But Paul George, he's not invited. So it's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: feast or famine, mostly famine, mostly famin at this particular
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: restaurant and it's a bridge to nowhere, this Jonathan Kuming
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: trade other than salary cap relief. I don't know anyone
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: that gets excited about salary cap relief. And if you do,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you might want to question your decision making if you're
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: like that. So one minute, the Warriors are hanging championships.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: It's the dynasty by the bay alam to lose all excited, right,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: oh man, this is the greatest thing in the world.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: And now, inch by inch, the Warriors are going backwards
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: back to a time when a Donald Foyle was the star, right,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: and where have you gone? Baron Davis and those monte
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Ellis and those guys. Bring back Mike Montgomery as the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: coach that era of the Golden State Warriors. There and
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: good luck the fog rolling in on what had been
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a great run of the Golden State Warriors and everyone's like.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: What is going on? What have they done? My god?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: They might want to contact Joe the ghost Hunter, who
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: will try to push back on the ghosts there that
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: have already moved in to the Warriors office says all right, now,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: last word, we're gonna pivot to college basketball. But it's
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a crossover because it does relate to the NBA world
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: in many ways. Here the Star and many of these
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: teams in the NBA that are not trying to win
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and are just going out there trying to lose, and
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: they don't want any want any part of that, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: they want the lottery and they're the top player. There's
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: a debate who the top guys. Like three players at
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: the very top there. One of them is the Kansas
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: star Darren Peterson, who has fired back at the many
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: critics who have been burying him for his malfeasance.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: We talked about load management.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Well, here's a guy that is doing load management in
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: college basketball and he's claiming, well, I don't want to
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: miss games is what he says. So quote basketball is
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: my life. If I could have, he says, if I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: could have been out there every game this year, Peterson said,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I would have. If you would have asked me last
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: year what were my goals for this year? I would
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: have never mentioned missing games. Close quote all right, question,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: do you believe Kansas star and projected top pick in
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: the NBA draft Darren Peterson that when he says I
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: don't want to miss gaps? But do you think he
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: will be downgraded. Do you think he will be downgraded
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: in the eyes of the NBA because of all the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: time that he's missed this season for the Jayhawks. So
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the whole story smells, like the whole thing smells. And
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I was asked about this a couple of weeks ago.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I go on on the radio every Thursday with my guy,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Bob Fesco and Dusty and those guys in their morning
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: show in Kansas City, and they were we talked about
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Peterson at that particular time, and I was like, you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: he's still gonna get the opportunity.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I was gonna get the opportunity.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: This thing is continued though, It's continued the spiral, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at it now and this whole season he plays,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: he plays well. It's like it's it's like an NBA
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: type storyline, but it's about college basketball.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And it smells really bad.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: It's like if you've ever left out a tuna fish
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: sandwich on the dashboard in the summertime. You know, it's
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: really nasty. You know, the smell and you can't get
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: it out of your car and it's just horrific and
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. But NBA teams have to take note
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: they have to take note here, you're not doing your job.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: We are witnessing a full blown infestation in the NBA.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: The asbestis of apathy among those that are the workers
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: of the NBA. It is seeped into the fabric of everything.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: It's literally in the floor there, all over the but
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: the spores are in the air everywhere from the asbestos.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: It's not good. And so you look at that, and
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: we have seen the damage this has done. We've seen
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: this before. We've seen this movie in the NBA. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: now you're talking about the Jayhawks and Bill Self and
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Kansas and all that. They had a guy who knows
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: a thing or two about this lifestyle. Joel Embiid just
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: mentioned him right, his teammates with the Invisible Man, Ben
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Simmons for the Sixers. And Peterson's got a grocery list
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: of excuses.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: He's got a hamstring here.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: The quad, the ankle that he had, the flu, the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: thing of a jig. My personal favorite though, chronic cramping,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: not crapping. Chronic cramping. I love that, which tells you
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: that he's not drinking enough water. I think you can't
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: make it up. You cannot make this up. And so
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: it is a it is a medical mystery, or it's
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: load management, the virus of load management mutating into its
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: final form at this moment here. And either he's faking
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: it Peterson of Kansas. He's either faking it or he's
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: damaged goods. Neither outcome is ideal. Either the guy is
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: is aged. People around him are telling them, hey, you
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: gotta not play this many minutes. You got to save
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: yourself for the NBA paycheck, and he's like, okay, why not.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Or he actually does have all these ailments, they're all
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: legit and he is just soft, and that's not good. Right,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: But looking at this objectively, once that did not play
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: rest pops up in the box score over and over,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: that DNA gets embedded into your system nineteen years old,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: something like that. Eighteen nineteen, he's nineteen. You're cooked by
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the time he gets twenty seven. Forget about thirty. You
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: don't magically become an iron man if that's how you play.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, if you're Zion Williamson two point zero
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: your first NBA paycheck, you're you're just a red flag
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: for the NBA. And so he's he's getting paid in
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: college too. That's the other time, he's getting paid. It's
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: not like back in the day he'd say, you got
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: to rest up for the NBA check, and guys, we're
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: getting paid that anyway. He's getting checked, he's getting paid,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: and he's sitting on a throne of ice packs is
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: what he's doing at this point. So the skills are there, clearly,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the skill set is there. You gotta ding the mentality,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: you gotta ding it ding ding ding ding ding. You
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: gotta do it. You know, you gotta be out there
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: and play. He's the ghost of the fall Arena. It
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: is the Bang Mallor Show. If you'd like to comment

• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Let off your shows with USA Hockey winning the gold
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and then he says, first things first, let off with
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the Celtics and the Lakers. Did they actually need a
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: memo or are they not patriotic journalists? Well, you most
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: likely should send that message to them. I don't make
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: my own editorial decisions. I don't know what they've got
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: going on. Not a burner. I would rather bang my
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: head against the wall for forty five minutes than open
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: up with the Lakers Celtic regular season game in February.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if we mentioned it. I think
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: you might have come up once. In the Overnight Show
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: last night, Shane in des Moines writes in he says
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: he's excited about the MMA fight on Netflix, Ron de
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Rousi and Gina. He says, it's at the Intuit Dome
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: in the hood in Inglewood. Will you be in attendance? No,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I have no plans of being at that event. I
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: don't know when the event is. Somebody gave me free tickets,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I'd consider going. They'd have to cover my parking. If
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: they covered my parking, I would think about possibly doing that.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: That whole thing.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Parking is sometimes more than the ticket.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: So anyway, you feme, it is down there for sure.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Your Femi says, Hey, Malard a plus on the Mallard
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: monologue and all you can eat salad and breadstiaks because
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: when you're here your family, he says, pro bouncy ball
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: will never recover. It's pooh load management and Lebron killed it. Well,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: never is a long time, and you might want to
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: adjust your AI. You Feemi, you might want to get
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: better ai I. Now you're trying to be like some
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: of these other dudes. May a little image of me
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: with the AI. You might want to update that a
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: little bit. That's bad job by you. It's a bad
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: job by you. Shame on you. Ferg Dog says, I
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: don't know about you, Ben, but I still haven't come
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: down from the high of that gold medal hockey game yet.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I just had freedom toast and freedom fries for dinner.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: What did you eat for dinner? Well, I had the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: traditional traditional American meal. I had fahetas is what I had.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: So my gosh, I also had Really is that right?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: We're not good?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Why were they not?
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: There's no flavor and usually if you if you get
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: a fajita plate from a Mexican restaurant. It should come
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: with sour cream and guacamole and all the works, because
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: it's one of the most.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Expensive items on the menu, faitas.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: But it only came with the grilled onions and peppers, four.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Strips of steak, four strips.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: That's not good.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: And did you see that viral photo of the Chipotle
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: burrito which was the less than the size of your fists.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Paid twelve or fourteen dollars for this burrito and it
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: was like the smallest thing. It was like a kid size.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: That the thing.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to Chipotle make better life choices.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: That's not good now.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: But I'm what I usually do is I make a
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: bunch of food, like on Saturday or Sunday, and then
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I just eat it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: So I made some homemade for jitas. So I had
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that's the key.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I had the chili pepper, I had the different spices
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: on there.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I had the bell.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Pepper, the onion, it all mixed up there. Little hallopenia
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: sauce that in there, and uh yeah, so that.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Was that was my move.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: But that's the had the traditional American meal fahitas I did.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Let's see what else we Let's see page DN. Shane's
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: also ripping me Shane in the wine for beginning with
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: I think basketball. He's upset by that. What else do
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: we have, Jason says, Darren doing his best Mallor impression
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: after getting your huge radio extension bag coasting. Well, you,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: first of all, you tag the wrong Darren Peterson. That's
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: the first thing. So that's a bad job by you. Secondly,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: I would like to be paid a massive amount of
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: money so I can be called lazy. I would love that.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I would love to be overpaid. And some people say
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I'm overpaid right now. Maybe I am for what I do.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I do an overnight show, but I want to be
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: legitimately overpaid. I've worked with people who were legitimately overpaid.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: There there have been people I've worked with, some of
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the most famous sportscasters in the world at the time
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I work with them, and also some of the laziest people.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Now I still have to see these people. I'm not
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: gonna name.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: It'd be my book someday, but let's just say there
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: was one person who was world renowned as a sportscaster
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: and then right before the show said to me and
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: we did a two man show and said, listen, Ben,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I haven't really been watching sports the last couple of days.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Just talk what talk about whatever you want. I'll I'll
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: just play off you.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, thank you for that, appreciate that very much.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And how much are you.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Getting paid for this?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: And how much am I getting.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Paid for this?
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's great, thank you very much.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: King Roy writes and says, I highly disagree with the
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: that the NBA imposed a minimum games played for the
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: regular season award. I truly believe Giannis should be the
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: MVP because when he is on the court, the Bucks
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: are nearly unstoppable. But when he isn't the bucks or roadkill.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: That's from King Rory, who happens to live in Wisconsin.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: In Wisconsin, Bagel Boy writes in says I'm glad that
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: we the Celtics dumped Porzengis when we did. He's ain't
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: the same big al and the unicorn, and he enjoyed
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the model.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: There you go. What else do you have to see?
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Page down?
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Michael writes in he says, can you can you tell
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: us more about tire rack? Can I tell you what?
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you?
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: So?
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I I love tire Rack. I've met some of the
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: big the big shots at tire They've come out here
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: to La, We've hung out with them. They're based in Indianapolis,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: tire Rack, and they these guys, Okay, let me tell
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: you something, Michael. These guys are such tire heads. They
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: can tell the brand of the tire by the smell
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: of the rubber.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: That is it. That is so masculine. That's impressive, That
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: is so masculine.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I just I'm so jealous. I am so impressed. Think
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: about that going into a massive wear This is how
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: on the ball or on the tire, tire RACKI is.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: They go in there and they just they know right
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: away what the tire is. It's wild, wild and they
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: can do it absolutely all right. It is the Ben
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Mahlor Show. And the Purito is still upset. He's a
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Raider fan. He's upset that I have taken some shots
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: at the Raiders. I guess a whole generation of sucking.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: You're not allowed to criticize the Raiders. How many more years, Parito,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: do the Raiders have to suck before we're allowed to
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: point out that everything they do is wrong? How many
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: give me the give me the number of years. I
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: love you, Parrita, but give me the number of years.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Come on now, Nature Boy says, these sandwiches at Subway
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: look like a finger food and they are ten dollars
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: or or more.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: Subway is just not the way to go anymore. You
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: have to go Jersey Mikes. If you're not going to
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: Jersey Mikes, you're not getting a good.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Sub I like Jersey Mikes. I haven't been a subway
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: in a long time, so I don't know. I stopped
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: going when they raised their prices because they hooked me
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: on the five dollars foot long right love all time ago,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I love the generation. Once you tell people it's five
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: dollars for a foot long, it better be five dollars
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: for a foot long.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: And then now it's like sixteen dollars.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: For a foot long.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Right' score on the phones and we'll say hello, let's
• 31:39

• 31:49
  Speaker 2: thanks for asking Anthony. I appreciate it. I made it
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: in here in a timely manner. I avoided several possible
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: accidents on the highway to get into the studio. I
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: then went to the back of the studio, my private room,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: and Floyd that I sat back there, finished up getting
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: ready for the show, and then walked back down.

• 32:06
  Speaker 1: lights were on.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: It was great, wonderful, and then I started talking, thanks for.
