- 0:23Speaker 1: my presidential fun fact of the hour. But here an
- 0:26Speaker 1: hour number one. It's all about the All Star brew Haha.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Draymond Green says the All Star Game format on a
- 0:33Speaker 1: scale of one to ten is a zero. He did
- 0:35Speaker 1: this while broadcasting the All Star Game. Well, Charles Barkley says,
- 0:40Speaker 1: they're doing this because of Draymond's generation. You make the call.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Whose side are you on? Will Adam Silver recently shot
- 0:49Speaker 1: down conspiracy theories around the Mavericks decision to give away
- 0:54Speaker 1: Luka Doncik in order to relocate the franchise to Vegas.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Does that end the storyline? And seventy six er star
- 1:02Speaker 1: Paul George went viral as his wife posted photos from
- 1:06Speaker 1: PG thirteen's tropical All Start Break vacation. That is blank,
- 1:12Speaker 1: We'll fill in the blank. That and more. Buckle up,
- 1:16Speaker 1: it's our number one. A starry night kind of welcome
- 1:26Speaker 1: in the beginning of another week of the Ben Mathers Show.
- 1:31Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere, birds of a feather
- 1:37Speaker 2: as we are a whole different animal coast coast, border to.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Border and beyond on the mast and sisingly powerful microphones
- 1:46Speaker 1: of fsr AMM neating live from the buster, the filibuster

- 2:19Speaker 1: number ten thousand, big support of the number ten thousand
- 2:22Speaker 1: and the fact that we did something for him so
- 2:24Speaker 1: he would not have to and our lead this hours
- 2:26Speaker 1: from San Francisco. That was the scene of a starry night.
- 2:30Speaker 1: The NBA's mid It's not Midsummer Midwinter Classic, the All
- 2:37Speaker 1: Star Game or whatever that was this round robin. It
- 2:40Speaker 1: was like an AAU tournament, but it was all Stars.
- 2:46Speaker 1: We do you watch any of this? Were you captivated
- 2:50Speaker 1: by the All Star Game? They played a mini tournament
- 2:54Speaker 1: between four teams. This is to avoid anyone scoring two
- 2:57Speaker 1: hundred points in the All Star Game. Just cap each
- 3:00Speaker 1: team at forty points first to forty and that's it.
- 3:04Speaker 1: But if you did not watch, and you probably didn't,
- 3:08Speaker 1: perhaps you missed it. They had comedian Kevin Hart was
- 3:11Speaker 1: the MC of the event. And you know, you need
- 3:15Speaker 1: a stand up comedian to host your All Star Game
- 3:18Speaker 1: because you don't have big enough stars to carry the event.
- 3:21Speaker 1: And we found out a few hours before the game
- 3:24Speaker 1: that the event was not worthy of Lebron James Lebron
- 3:28Speaker 1: deciding to tap out of the All Star Game, ending
- 3:32Speaker 1: a twenty year streak of All Star performances. Coop has arrived.
- 3:38Speaker 1: By the way, Steph Curry. Steph Curry took home the
- 3:43Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant All Star NVP honors. Who yes, he had
- 3:50Speaker 1: a way listen. It was in the Bay Area. You
- 3:52Speaker 1: got to give the local guy the All Star Game MVP.
- 3:55Speaker 1: A twenty year streak of an All Star Game. Steph Grez,
- 4:01Speaker 1: I've been twenty years, but he's been there a lot
- 4:03Speaker 1: most of the last twenty years. And Steph Curry was
- 4:06Speaker 1: a Team Shack, the ogs of Team Shack. They called
- 4:10Speaker 1: me a team shack O G's beat Team Chuck. That
- 4:14Speaker 1: would be Charles Barkley in the final of the first
- 4:19Speaker 1: of forty first of forty point tournament in the All
- 4:23Speaker 1: Star Game. Now for me and I watched this, I
- 4:26Speaker 1: was not captivated. This is not really for me. I'm
- 4:29Speaker 1: not sure who this was for. I don't really know.
- 4:33Speaker 1: It certainly wasn't for me, But I did enjoy the
- 4:37Speaker 1: back and forth with Draymond Green, who was not playing
- 4:41Speaker 1: in the All Star Game, was not selected to the
- 4:43Speaker 1: All Star Team. But Draymond Green was working the studio
- 4:46Speaker 1: set for TNT and he was asked on a scale
- 4:51Speaker 1: of one to ten how much he liked the new
- 4:55Speaker 1: format of the All Star Game, and he responded with
- 4:59Speaker 1: a zero as his response. He had thought it was
- 5:03Speaker 1: a zero. That was it. Now Charles Barkley, who was coaching,
- 5:07Speaker 1: as we mentioned, and also commentating the game that he
- 5:10Speaker 1: did not coach in. Charles Barkley responding to Raymond Green,
- 5:15Speaker 1: and he said, the reason the NBA is doing what
- 5:18Speaker 1: they're doing to the All Star Game is because of
- 5:22Speaker 1: Raymond Green's generation of players in the NBA that have
- 5:29Speaker 1: destroyed the All Star Game. So that was Barkley's response.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Some saucy commentary. The commentary more worthy of conversation than
- 5:36Speaker 1: the game itself. That is the NBA All Star experience
- 5:40Speaker 1: in a nutshell. So let us discuss the question. We'll
- 5:44Speaker 1: go back and forth here. Draymond Green again. Draymond Green
- 5:47Speaker 1: was asked on a scale of one to ten what
- 5:49Speaker 1: he thought of the new All Star format while plausibly
- 5:51Speaker 1: being paid to commentate on the All Star Game, and
- 5:55Speaker 1: Draymond said it was a zero, while Charles Barkley, who
- 5:58Speaker 1: was being paid to participate as a sham coach in
- 6:01Speaker 1: said All Star Game, says that the reason they're doing
- 6:05Speaker 1: this is because of Draymond Green's generation. You make the call,
- 6:10Speaker 1: whose side are you on? Whose side are you on?
- 6:13Speaker 1: So I've got bastardized hotel, Pitchman and Wizard of Oz
- 6:20Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
- 6:24Speaker 1: we are going to make a nice night taking a nap.
- 6:29Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna make because there's not much going on.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Let's you like college basketball, not much going on. Like
- 6:33Speaker 1: it's a little hockey. Get a little hockey, all right.
- 6:36Speaker 1: So again, I've got bastardized hotel, Pitchman and Wizard of
- 6:41Speaker 1: Oz and we'll combine all these things together. So num burn,
- 6:46Speaker 1: I said, Na Burn, My answer is, am I gonna
- 6:51Speaker 1: go a Draymond Green or B Charles Barkley. My answers
- 6:56Speaker 1: actually see all the above. I'm gonna go see all
- 7:00Speaker 1: no lies detected. The All Star Game round robin tournament
- 7:06Speaker 1: was capitol l lame, capital l lame. It just was right.
- 7:13Speaker 1: And when your customers, the most passionate people for your business,
- 7:18Speaker 1: your product, have to google the rules on what the
- 7:23Speaker 1: f is going on, you've done something wrong. And Draymond
- 7:27Speaker 1: was complaining about the fact that the team from the
- 7:30Speaker 1: Saturday Rookie or Young Stars of the Amba, whatever they're
- 7:35Speaker 1: calling it, got to participate because they needed a fourth team.
- 7:38Speaker 1: They had to get a fourth team in there. So
- 7:39Speaker 1: like Dalton Connect of the Lakers who was traded to
- 7:43Speaker 1: the Hornets and then he came back to the Lakers,
- 7:45Speaker 1: he's kind of a nomad's he was on one of
- 7:47Speaker 1: the teams of the Future Stars that was playing in
- 7:50Speaker 1: the All Stars Saturday or also Sunday tournament from Saturday.
- 7:55Speaker 1: So I would have chosen to go with the kiss method,
- 7:58Speaker 1: keep it simple, stupid, The NBA chose to crank it
- 8:02Speaker 1: up a couple of notches and they decided to bastardize
- 8:05Speaker 1: the All Star Game. It's lower in quality now. It's
- 8:09Speaker 1: been unwatchable for years, so it's just a different kind
- 8:12Speaker 1: of unwatchable. But Draymond is correct, Now, how did we
- 8:16Speaker 1: end up here? Well, that's the part where Charles Barkley
- 8:19Speaker 1: enters the chat. Charles Barkley is also spot on. No
- 8:22Speaker 1: lies detected from Sir Charles, because it's Draymond Green's generation
- 8:27Speaker 1: of grab Ass and Huggy Huggy during the All Star
- 8:31Speaker 1: Game that created the mess that we have today now.
- 8:35Speaker 1: To be fair in all sports, the All Star Game sucks.
- 8:37Speaker 1: One thing's changed in my lifetime. Used to be a
- 8:40Speaker 1: highlight of the year to see all the great players
- 8:42Speaker 1: united together, and it was wonderful. Now it blows. But
- 8:46Speaker 1: in the NBA game in particular, and there's different theories
- 8:50Speaker 1: the AAU tournament. All these guys know each other from
- 8:53Speaker 1: the time they're first tag for greatness, and they all
- 8:56Speaker 1: hang out together at the same tournaments and travel the
- 8:58Speaker 1: same circuit and so they all know each other. So
- 9:00Speaker 1: they don't really have any competition with any of these
- 9:02Speaker 1: people because they're all buddy buddy and they're all filthy
- 9:04Speaker 1: rich in the NBA. But what has happened to the
- 9:08Speaker 1: bug ridden NBA All Star Game? It has affected all
- 9:13Speaker 1: of the All Stars right. The contaminations is widespread contamination.
- 9:18Speaker 1: It's highly infectious. And the headliners, they make so much
- 9:23Speaker 1: money in the professional ranks that they cannot be troubled
- 9:27Speaker 1: to provide a proper night of effort and focus and
- 9:31Speaker 1: have that competitive spirit. They just can't. And this is
- 9:35Speaker 1: a result. You play stupid games and win stupid prizes.
- 9:38Speaker 1: So in a perfect world for me, it will never
- 9:43Speaker 1: likely happen this way. But you go back old school
- 9:45Speaker 1: style where I first when I love watching basketball, when
- 9:48Speaker 1: I was younger, back in my day, it was East
- 9:50Speaker 1: versus West. It's going to shock you. What I'm about
- 9:52Speaker 1: to say is a boomer take East versus West teams
- 9:56Speaker 1: wearing their home uniforms, meaning that if you weigh wear
- 10:00Speaker 1: a Celtic uniform, you're wearing your Celtic uniform during the
- 10:02Speaker 1: All Star Game or a Sixers or Bowls or Sons
- 10:06Speaker 1: or whoever you got your home uniform on. And that's it.
- 10:11Speaker 1: And then the Shenanigans and you actually put some effort
- 10:14Speaker 1: into that, and that's too much to ask. It's way
- 10:16Speaker 1: too much asking, all right now, Page two to the
- 10:19Speaker 1: trade that still has legs. The trade that still have legs.
- 10:23Speaker 1: A few weeks after the Dallas Mavericks landed Luca and
- 10:30Speaker 1: traded him, they said, we're gonna trade Luca. We're gonna
- 10:32Speaker 1: land him in La They traded him to the Lakers
- 10:35Speaker 1: on a silver platter. The Commissioner over the weekend addressed
- 10:39Speaker 1: the chatter. Adam Silver over the weekend, shooting down the
- 10:45Speaker 1: widespread conspiracy theories that the Mavericks decision to give away
- 10:51Speaker 1: Luca hold on a Signey put, this decision to give
- 10:54Speaker 1: away Luka to the to the Lakers is to move
- 11:01Speaker 1: the franchise to Las Vegas. Right. The people that own
- 11:03Speaker 1: the Mavericks now are gambling people. They thought they were
- 11:06Speaker 1: going to get a law passed in Texas to allow
- 11:11Speaker 1: sports wagering and casinos, and they wanted to build an
- 11:14Speaker 1: areno at the casino and all that stuff. But Adam
- 11:16Speaker 1: Silver's shooting down that conspiracy theory that the Luca trade
- 11:21Speaker 1: was to upset the fan base so much so they
- 11:23Speaker 1: could relocate the franchise to Vegas. Does this end the storyline?
- 11:29Speaker 1: So I'm shaking my head. No, not by a long shot.
- 11:33Speaker 1: And my response is the hotel pitchman. My response is
- 11:37Speaker 1: the hotel pitchman here, Captain obvious. Remember those commercials from
- 11:41Speaker 1: years ago, Captain Obvious, what did you expect, Adam Silver? Si?
- 11:45Speaker 1: Can you imagine if the commissioner had gotten up there
- 11:46Speaker 1: and said, but by the way, yeah, we absolutely, we
- 11:49Speaker 1: hope the franchise will move to Las Vegas. We want
- 11:51Speaker 1: to leave Dallas and we want to go to Vegas
- 11:54Speaker 1: because of the gambling money in Vegas. Of course, he's
- 11:56Speaker 1: not going to say that. You can't admit that. He
- 11:58Speaker 1: would never admit that there's something that just doesn't smell
- 12:02Speaker 1: right about the whole situation, no matter what Adam Silver says.
- 12:07Speaker 1: And the fact that Adam Silver gave his blessing here
- 12:11Speaker 1: on the trade, which makes you believe that Adam Silver,
- 12:15Speaker 1: the commissioner of the NBA, either orchestrated that Luca ends
- 12:18Speaker 1: up with the Lakers. The heist is allowed, or either
- 12:23Speaker 1: orchestrated or allowed it to happen. But either way, he's
- 12:26Speaker 1: the commissioner of the NBA, and this is a conspiracy theory.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Unlike the NFL's fixing games for the Chiefs. This is
- 12:33Speaker 1: one I can get behind. Either Adam Silver, the NBA
- 12:37Speaker 1: is like, well, listen, we got to get a bigger
- 12:38Speaker 1: start Lebron's hold. We need the Lakers to have a
- 12:41Speaker 1: star at all times. That's the way we've done business
- 12:43Speaker 1: for the past fifty years in the NBA. So we've
- 12:46Speaker 1: got to keep that streak going. And we've got to
- 12:48Speaker 1: make sure we get a star with the Lakers. And
- 12:50Speaker 1: so we'll have Luca go there and TV you'll be happy.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Either that or the Mavericks want to relocate to Las Vegas.
- 12:57Speaker 1: But back when the NBA had a commission with hair
- 12:59Speaker 1: on his chain, and back when they had a man
- 13:02Speaker 1: that wasn't from somewhere else out in the cosmos in
- 13:04Speaker 1: the Milky Way as commissioner, a real commissioner in the
- 13:07Speaker 1: late David Stern. That was when Commissioner Stern stepped in
- 13:12Speaker 1: and vetoed lopsided trades, at least one in particular, that
- 13:15Speaker 1: Chris Paul trade. He put his foot down, said, no, Moss,
- 13:19Speaker 1: Chris Paul, you're not getting traded. That's a giveaway trade.
- 13:22Speaker 1: You're not going to the Lakers now. Silver never, it
- 13:25Speaker 1: says he never considered such a move claim that they
- 13:28Speaker 1: they have the power to do that, even though it
- 13:30Speaker 1: has happened in the past. Now, as far as the
- 13:32Speaker 1: idea that the Mavericks would would never be allowed to
- 13:37Speaker 1: relocate to Nevada, of course, the Maps have admitted they've
- 13:42Speaker 1: They've never or at least they say they never shopped
- 13:45Speaker 1: Luke around. They only wanted to give him the Lakers.
- 13:48Speaker 1: It's not trade. A trade is when you see what
- 13:50Speaker 1: the item is worth, you put it up forbid at
- 13:53Speaker 1: an auction, even if it's a silent auction, and see
- 13:55Speaker 1: what you can get, and then you give the item
- 13:56Speaker 1: to the highest bidder. That was not what happened. But
- 13:58Speaker 1: the idea that the NBA would not ever allow a
- 14:02Speaker 1: team leaving a bigger market for a smaller market is fugazi.
- 14:08Speaker 1: And here's why. It has happened in other sports multiple
- 14:12Speaker 1: times in recent years and over the last like thirty
- 14:16Speaker 1: five years, it's happened many times. There were teams that
- 14:19Speaker 1: left Los Angeles in the NFL for smaller markets, mainly
- 14:23Speaker 1: the Rams who left for Saint Louis years ago, and
- 14:26Speaker 1: then they came back to LA. The Raiders left LA
- 14:29Speaker 1: went to Oakland. They then left Oakland a bigger market,
- 14:33Speaker 1: the San Francisco Bay Area for Las Vegas, a smaller market.
- 14:36Speaker 1: The Athletics and Major League Baseball have also done that
- 14:40Speaker 1: as they went to a smaller TV market. The San
- 14:42Speaker 1: Francisco Bay Area market number six in the United States
- 14:46Speaker 1: and the city of Las Vegas market number believe it's
- 14:49Speaker 1: number forty two now Dallas is the fifth biggest media
- 14:53Speaker 1: market in the United States. So you'd move from number
- 14:56Speaker 1: five to number forty two, but you'd make for that
- 15:00Speaker 1: in gambling revenue. And don't be naive to think that
- 15:04Speaker 1: that will not be allowed to happen right now. Final point,
- 15:06Speaker 1: as the All Star festivities continue to fill at Delphia,
- 15:10Speaker 1: we go some social media posts going viral. Several of
- 15:14Speaker 1: you sent me this over the weekend as the All
- 15:17Speaker 1: Star Game played out in San Francisco. A non All
- 15:21Speaker 1: Star star, A fledgling podcaster, Paul George, Bye George, Bye
- 15:27Speaker 1: Bye George, Paul George of your Philadelphia seventy six ers.
- 15:32Speaker 1: When viral, his wife did posting photos on the social
- 15:37Speaker 1: media of a nice tropical All Star break vacation. So
- 15:42Speaker 1: Paul George's wife posting photos of the All Star tropical
- 15:46Speaker 1: beachside vacation is blank. So my word is obtuse. My
- 15:54Speaker 1: word is ubtuse. The look it up bt usc up too.
- 16:01Speaker 1: I look at this. I'm so glad he's not a clipper.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Thank god I get rid of that guy. But it's
- 16:06Speaker 1: like the Wizard of Owz, like Paul George the Scarecrow.
- 16:09Speaker 1: If I only had a brain, If I only had
- 16:12Speaker 1: a brain, that's the amazing thing. Like I would be
- 16:15Speaker 1: so embarrassed if I was Paul George, the guy scored
- 16:17Speaker 1: two points in a game for Philly before the All
- 16:20Speaker 1: Star Break against a dog food team, the Brooklyn Nets,
- 16:24Speaker 1: I would be posting photos of anything. I'd be posting
- 16:27Speaker 1: photos of me taking jump shots in an empty gymnasium
- 16:30Speaker 1: somewhere in the Delaware Valley. But no, Paul George is
- 16:34Speaker 1: out there with his beautiful stripper wife there, I believe,
- 16:38Speaker 1: on the beach there, somewhere in a tropical location. You'd
- 16:41Speaker 1: think he would be cognizant of how bad that looks.
- 16:47Speaker 1: And even if his wife's posting photos, maybe not be
- 16:49Speaker 1: in the photos. Say hey, let's do me a solid
- 16:52Speaker 1: on that. I don't need to be in those those photos.
- 16:54Speaker 1: But instead instead of putting up jump shots. He was
- 16:57Speaker 1: putting on suntan lotion at the each and then did
- 17:01Speaker 1: not lock himself in the gym. Instead of holding a basketball,
- 17:04Speaker 1: he was holding a margarita and it would appear in
- 17:07Speaker 1: his hands. And so there you go. All right, it
- 17:09Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to
- 17:12Speaker 1: be part of you can, Jeorge, what did you think?
- 17:13Speaker 1: Did you like the new All Star format? Did you watch?
- 17:16Speaker 1: Did you consume any of it? Or did you stare
- 17:18Speaker 1: at a wall, a blank wall and just not worry
- 17:21Speaker 1: at all about any of that? Eight seven seven ninety
- 17:24Speaker 1: nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six sixty

- 17:41Speaker 1: which upset many people, full beast mode at the All
- 17:45Speaker 1: Star Game. We'll explain it with that's all about, we'll
- 17:47Speaker 1: get to it.

- 18:50Speaker 1: now back to the nonsense. Well's actually it's back to
- 18:54Speaker 1: the to the Ben. My show were talking about the
- 18:56Speaker 1: NBA All Star Game, which was not an All Star game.
- 18:58Speaker 1: It was a round robin tournament. The NBAL Star Game
- 19:00Speaker 1: bastardized as they desperately attempt to keep people watching and
- 19:05Speaker 1: try to save it. You know, it's not good. I
- 19:07Speaker 1: mentioned this on my podcast The Fifth Hour, which Bill
- 19:09Speaker 1: Miller just mentioned over the weekend. The story that happened,
- 19:13Speaker 1: I think it was on Friday that Adam Silver and
- 19:17Speaker 1: then the head of the NBA's players Association had to
- 19:21Speaker 1: have a come to Jesus meeting with the star players
- 19:25Speaker 1: to say, hey, we kind of need you to try
- 19:27Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 19:28Speaker 4: Thank you Jesus.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you kind of embarrassed us. It's really
- 19:33Speaker 1: not good. Nobody wants to watch this direct that you've
- 19:35Speaker 1: been putting out in the court the last couple of years.
- 19:37Speaker 1: So signs your business is not going that well when
- 19:42Speaker 1: you have to convince your employees to actually take your
- 19:46Speaker 1: event seriously. But that's where the NBA finds itself at
- 19:50Speaker 1: the All Star Game here in twenty twenty five, begging
- 19:53Speaker 1: the employees to put an effort out on the court,
- 19:56Speaker 1: which does not seem like a great way to do business.

- 20:24Speaker 1: about the owners of the Mavericks. He's worried about that
- 20:27Speaker 1: his assistant Darryl Armstrong, who assaulted someone with a gun. Well,
- 20:32Speaker 1: it was accused of assaulting someone with the gun. Whether
- 20:34Speaker 1: or not the charges hole will find out. But he
- 20:37Speaker 1: spent his All Star weekend in jail. Fergdog says, do
- 20:41Speaker 1: not be ridiculous.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Man.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Nobody would rather stare at a wall than watch the
- 20:46Speaker 1: NBA All Star Game. If you had said watch paint
- 20:50Speaker 1: try or a pot boil, now that I would believe that.
- 20:54Speaker 1: I would believe. There you go. Shanon Mooy says, if
- 20:59Speaker 1: Kelly and I fly to l A, the three of
- 21:01Speaker 1: you and the two of us would be an all
- 21:04Speaker 1: wedding party. All the wedding party we need about that.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Kelly wants Coop to be her witness made of honor,
- 21:11Speaker 1: and I want Loraina to be my witness best man
- 21:14Speaker 1: with Big Man as our officiant. There you go, Iowa,

- 21:24Speaker 1: the best, You're the best man, witness, well, witness best man.

- 21:31Speaker 1: the dress.
- 21:31Speaker 4: Coop.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sure. Why not where we get married at?
- 21:36Speaker 1: What are we looking at? Like? We can't go to
- 21:38Speaker 1: the palace? Is anywhere? That burned up? The La Fire Department,
- 21:41Speaker 1: the city of La could not keep the fire down.
- 21:43Speaker 1: I can't go there. I have to find a spot
- 21:46Speaker 1: to go to. Well, that's an interesting idea. I like
- 21:49Speaker 1: the the Malord show them wedding though, where we have
- 21:52Speaker 1: all the listeners meet in des Moine and we have
- 21:55Speaker 1: the blind table, we have the drunk table. I think
- 21:59Speaker 1: that would be dinner table, right, that would be a fun,
- 22:02Speaker 1: fun event. Well, I beat the head table, you know,
- 22:06Speaker 1: I'd writing I would be near the briden groom. I
- 22:08Speaker 1: would be near the cake.
- 22:09Speaker 5: I think you should be right in the middle of
- 22:10Speaker 5: the bride and groom because you brought them together.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Are they blue in the middle cheese? No, No, not
- 22:17Speaker 1: at all. I would I would feel awkward in between
- 22:19Speaker 1: these two lovebirds. But maybe change on your lap. No, no,
- 22:23Speaker 1: not at all. Know how dare you? But we'll bring now.
- 22:26Speaker 1: I have done a wedding before. We in Minnesota. We
- 22:29Speaker 1: did a full wedding between Doc Mike and Regina, and
- 22:33Speaker 1: that was quite the event there at the Mermaid in Minnesota.
- 22:36Speaker 1: So this is not this is although I don't think
- 22:38Speaker 1: they actually got married. This would be more of a
- 22:40Speaker 1: legitimate marriage situation. Terry in England rights and he says,
- 22:45Speaker 1: I don't have any interest in the no ball action
- 22:47Speaker 1: children's game band any football going on. Maybe a J
- 22:50Speaker 1: Brown bouncy ball is coma inducing terry in England, says
- 22:56Speaker 1: g Man. In Chicago, rights and says, I can't believe
- 22:59Speaker 1: the NBA allows players to sit out an All Star game.
- 23:02Speaker 1: A slap in the face to their fans again on
- 23:05Speaker 1: the court and make me money clowns. Benito, long stuffering
- 23:10Speaker 1: cowboy fan says the All Star Game was, in one word,
- 23:14Speaker 1: ass is. When Benito says of the All Star Game,
- 23:18Speaker 1: all right, random Ryan in Carolina says, Bill, I was
- 23:22Speaker 1: tied to my television watching cars driving in Central Florida.
- 23:26Speaker 1: I'm unaware of basketball happenings. Did the NBA do a
- 23:30Speaker 1: flag football version of the All Star Game this evening? Yeah,
- 23:35Speaker 1: well in a flag football thing, but it was it
- 23:38Speaker 1: was not great. Now a bunch of people upset with
- 23:40Speaker 1: the NBA because they you know, things are not going well,
- 23:44Speaker 1: when you have to beg your players to participate. They
- 23:46Speaker 1: also went to mister Beast. They turned to mister Beast's
- 23:51Speaker 1: beast at the All Star Game, the All Star Mister
- 23:54Speaker 1: Beast Challenge. Did you see this? Yeah, a lot of
- 23:57Speaker 1: people were up in arms over this. What was the challenge?
- 24:00Speaker 1: They had to eat as many chocolate bars of his
- 24:02Speaker 1: that they could No, no, no, no no. But the
- 24:04Speaker 1: NBA marketing people trying to get those influencers out, you know,
- 24:08Speaker 1: because they the NBA is convinced that social media is
- 24:13Speaker 1: real and it's not. I'm of the mindset. Maybe I'm wrong,
- 24:16Speaker 1: maybe they're right, but I'm of the mindset it's more
- 24:18Speaker 1: like the matrix. You take the blue pill, you take
- 24:21Speaker 1: the red pill. Which one do you take? I don't.
- 24:23Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is manipulation and whatnot.
- 24:25Speaker 1: But nonetheless, the NBA is all in on their social media.
- 24:30Speaker 1: So they had the YouTuber Mister Beast hosted in on
- 24:34Speaker 1: court shooting contest in between the round robin All Star games.
- 24:41Speaker 1: And this is after Team Chuck beat Team Smith at
- 24:44Speaker 1: be Kenny Smith in the first game of the four
- 24:46Speaker 1: team round robin All Star tournament. There, mister Beast came
- 24:50Speaker 1: out and one fan and Dame Lillard side by side.
- 24:55Speaker 1: There it was the Mister Beast Challenge, one hundred thousand
- 24:58Speaker 1: dollars challenge for the fan to make a three point
- 25:00Speaker 1: shot from the logo before Lillard made three shots from
- 25:05Speaker 1: the same spot and this went on. Now the fan
- 25:08Speaker 1: actually did hit a shot and he won one hundred
- 25:11Speaker 1: thousand dollars. It took about it was a little over
- 25:16Speaker 1: six minutes by the time. Yeah, so one hundred thousand
- 25:20Speaker 1: and many people were like what are they doing here? Like,
- 25:24Speaker 1: what is what is going on here watching Mister Beast
- 25:28Speaker 1: at the All Star Game. I'm not I guess he's
- 25:31Speaker 1: very popular. I don't know. Are you a big Mister
- 25:32Speaker 1: Beast fan there, Lorena? Do you love the Mister best?
- 25:35Speaker 5: I wouldn't say I love him.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I don't know him, but I do like what he
- 25:38Speaker 1: does with his money, do you. I think he's very
- 25:40Speaker 1: generous and does okay. So he promotes his charity, which
- 25:43Speaker 1: I think right off the top. If that's the case,
- 25:45Speaker 1: I do not like that because charity should not be promoted.
- 25:47Speaker 1: You should do charity without promoting it. But he does
- 25:49Speaker 1: do charity with his own money. But if you promote it.
- 25:51Speaker 1: You're doing it for promotion, so people like you will say, hey,
- 25:55Speaker 1: I like, what did you see it as like spreading kindness?
- 25:57Speaker 1: And no, I see it. I see this aritable marketing.
- 26:01Speaker 1: As This is one of Ben's worst takes. Now that's
- 26:03Speaker 1: one of my all time great takes because I was
- 26:05Speaker 1: raised properly. If you do charity, you do charity for
- 26:08Speaker 1: the charity, not to promote yourself doing the charity.
- 26:10Speaker 5: Yes, if there's someone that promotes charity to give more
- 26:13Speaker 5: to charity, balter, he doesn't present himself and then he
- 26:16Speaker 5: doesn't make more money.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Could not be more wrong. Coop Listen, It's like when
- 26:19Speaker 1: you go to a grocery store. You don't need to
- 26:21Speaker 1: check out this. Would you like to donate two dollars
- 26:23Speaker 1: to charity or around up?
- 26:24Speaker 2: No?
- 26:25Speaker 1: No, of course not, because you do it on your own.
- 26:27Speaker 1: You don't need to give them the money to donate
- 26:30Speaker 1: your money for them to charity. If you want to
- 26:33Speaker 1: donate money to charity, do it yourself. But you don't
- 26:36Speaker 1: do it for promotion. If you do it for promotion,
- 26:38Speaker 1: you're a bad person. So mister Beast is a bad person.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Boom awful take. Agree, But I hear you. No, no, listen.
- 26:47Speaker 1: If you do charity, do it, that's fine, that's great,
- 26:49Speaker 1: but don't do it for promotion. The moment you do
- 26:52Speaker 1: it for promotion, you're cheapening the act of charity. It
- 26:55Speaker 1: is ridiculous. It is tough. You shouldn't know about it. Listen,
- 26:59Speaker 1: not get there now. Ben would rather the people not
- 27:03Speaker 1: get there.
- 27:04Speaker 5: You know their blindness, you know corrected, and he would
- 27:08Speaker 5: just rather than not get the money at all.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Here's why listen, listen. I look at guys like Russell.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Give example, Russell Wilson shows up to Children's hospital like
- 27:16Speaker 1: every month with a makeup person, a camera crew, a
- 27:20Speaker 1: sound guy, and idiots are like, oh, it's so great.
- 27:23Speaker 1: He shows up with a full team of people to
- 27:26Speaker 1: record everything because it's social media, is trying to get
- 27:29Speaker 1: attention to make himself look good. If you show up
- 27:32Speaker 1: without all those people, I respect you. If you just
- 27:34Speaker 1: do it. We found out, ill give an example. We
- 27:36Speaker 1: found out when Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash
- 27:39Speaker 1: right next to our studio, crash into a mountain. Dead.
- 27:42Speaker 1: We found out that he'd go to Children's hospital all
- 27:45Speaker 1: the time. Guess what without a camera crew, didn't announce it,
- 27:48Speaker 1: didn't post it on social media. We found out after
- 27:51Speaker 1: he was dead. We couldn't join him. No, no, no,
- 27:54Speaker 1: it was the better way to do Agree, that's the
- 27:57Speaker 1: better way to do it. But it's better than not
- 28:00Speaker 1: doing it at all. Well, why do you have to
- 28:03Speaker 1: get publicity for it? That's the whole point, because some
- 28:06Speaker 1: people are very look at me, That's why. That's what
- 28:08Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's ridiculous as I don't support that. I
- 28:11Speaker 1: agree with you, but I don't think it negates the charity.
- 28:15Speaker 1: It does. If you're doing it for attention, it negates
- 28:17Speaker 1: the charity. It absolutely does. You're making it all about you.
- 28:21Speaker 1: It's not about it. If you're if you're willing to
- 28:23Speaker 1: give back and donate money, that's fine, that's great, But
- 28:26Speaker 1: you shouldn't do it for publicity. And according to you,
- 28:29Speaker 1: lean mister beast does it for publicity because you know
- 28:31Speaker 1: about it. But he is an influencer though, so I
- 28:33Speaker 1: expect it exactly. Its influencing. Well, he has a lot
- 28:36Speaker 1: of followers. Are they real? How many of them are real?
- 28:39Speaker 1: Let me go look up his follower How many of
- 28:41Speaker 1: them they are actually legitimate?
- 28:42Speaker 3: Probably a lot?
- 28:43Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he's the most followed person on YouTube
- 28:46Speaker 5: besides Gomez.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Ok. But how much of that is like, how does
- 28:50Speaker 1: that transit? You think the All Star Game ratings went
- 28:52Speaker 1: up because mister Beast was there? Does that he has
- 28:54Speaker 1: sixty six point one million? Okay? And ayea, but do
- 28:57Speaker 1: you think that that audience, if that's real, then people
- 29:00Speaker 1: should have tuned in to watch the All Star Game
- 29:02Speaker 1: because he was going to be there.
- 29:04Speaker 5: You think, I don't think there's a lot of crossover
- 29:06Speaker 5: between NBA fans and mister Beast fans.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's my point.
- 29:11Speaker 4: Now.
- 29:12Speaker 1: The other thing about this, and I've had many talks
- 29:14Speaker 1: with friends of mine in the radio business and people
- 29:16Speaker 1: in television over the years, like the whole the social
- 29:18Speaker 1: media thing is a fascinating a dynamic. I've been very
- 29:21Speaker 1: fortunate over the years. I've gone out met listeners at
- 29:23Speaker 1: different events in different states, around the country and all
- 29:26Speaker 1: over the place, and what I see is totally different
- 29:29Speaker 1: than social media. And now maybe that's just this show
- 29:31Speaker 1: and the audience for this show, and it's not a
- 29:34Speaker 1: great reference point, but I look at it like the
- 29:38Speaker 1: NBA was bragging about how much social media interaction they had,
- 29:43Speaker 1: They claimed All Stars Saturday night, they were bragging about
- 29:46Speaker 1: their engagement. They were flexing over the weekend, said Friday
- 29:49Speaker 1: and Saturday night, they had one billion views up seventeen
- 29:54Speaker 1: percent according to the NBA, across all platforms on all accounts.
- 29:59Speaker 1: What does that mean? Just not the engage exactly one
- 30:04Speaker 1: billion views they say does not include engagement on non
- 30:07Speaker 1: league accounts. But my point is, like people get upset
- 30:11Speaker 1: with me a lot. I'm not on social media much
- 30:13Speaker 1: during the day. I use it during the show. It's
- 30:15Speaker 1: a tool for the show because I don't get paid
- 30:17Speaker 1: to do social media. Like I don't make any money
- 30:20Speaker 1: off social media. I'm not an influence or anything like that.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Like I get paid to do a show at Fox
- 30:25Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I got paid by NBC to do a
- 30:27Speaker 1: TV show for NBC. I that's that's Those are my employers.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Like to me, there's no correlation. Like people even people
- 30:34Speaker 1: will look at clips online. I to me, they're not
- 30:38Speaker 1: supporting your business because the NBA doesn't make money. They
- 30:41Speaker 1: don't make any real money off social media. The revenue
- 30:44Speaker 1: streams for the NBA are television advertising and in arena advertising,
- 30:50Speaker 1: and those are the agreements of the deals they have
- 30:52Speaker 1: with Nike and other businesses, and so to me, there's
- 30:55Speaker 1: no correlation between that and social media. I don't think
- 30:59Speaker 1: there is. The NBA loves to brag about it, but
- 31:02Speaker 1: they ultimately get paid based on how many people are
- 31:04Speaker 1: watching their product on TV and all these other leagues
- 31:06Speaker 1: as well. It's like, you know, it's great to have
- 31:08Speaker 1: a bunch of people watch clips on TikTok or whatever,
- 31:11Speaker 1: but that those aren't going to pay your bills. That's
- 31:14Speaker 1: my argument. So anyway, well that was a long range.
- 31:18Speaker 1: That was a very long rate. Let's go to the
- 31:20Speaker 1: phones and we'll say hello to eeny meenie miney mo.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Let's go to real talk. Who's in New York? Get
- 31:25Speaker 1: that dump button ready, it's President's Day. Hello, Real Talk.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom m
- 31:36Speaker 1: did Real Talk fall asleep? I don't hear Real Talk.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Oh you know, I think line too might be broken.
- 31:41Speaker 1: It's line too. Hold, there he is there, I think
- 31:44Speaker 1: I hear about Well, there he is line two. I
- 31:54Speaker 1: I panicked there for a second. Real Talk now I
- 31:57Speaker 1: think it was faint.
- 31:59Speaker 4: Yeah, what's up? How you doing? Ben Man? What's up?
- 32:02Speaker 1: I'm celebrating our great presidency here. What a wonderful day,
- 32:06Speaker 1: and you got the crew all with you.
- 32:08Speaker 3: Ben.
- 32:08Speaker 4: What's something? That's what's something?
- 32:09Speaker 3: You know?
- 32:09Speaker 4: Ben? I feel like I owe you an apology because
- 32:13Speaker 4: like last week on the podcast, you seem like you
- 32:16Speaker 4: were upset with me because you know, I get dumped,
- 32:18Speaker 4: not knaughty words, but like, dude, you know, if that
- 32:22Speaker 4: makes you upset, I can always stop doing that. You
- 32:24Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.
- 32:25Speaker 1: If you get well, I'd like you to change it up.
- 32:27Speaker 1: How about like every once in a while you mix
- 32:29Speaker 1: in because I have figured out real talk your formula.
- 32:34Speaker 1: I have figured out your Your formula is you call
- 32:37Speaker 1: up and you do a bit. And I do like
- 32:39Speaker 1: the fact that you're prepared. I like the fact that
- 32:41Speaker 1: you prepare for the call. You have material, you have shtick.
- 32:44Speaker 1: That's a good thing, right, But it's always you do
- 32:46Speaker 1: the bit and then at some point you run out
- 32:48Speaker 1: of material and then you drop an F word or
- 32:50Speaker 1: a C word or f FM word. It's like.
- 32:57Speaker 4: No, no, you know everything. You know, Like I like
- 33:01Speaker 4: to kind of use bad words because I think it's funny,
- 33:04Speaker 4: and it's funny right here on the podcast. But Ben
- 33:06Speaker 4: I can always push up my style. But you may
- 33:08Speaker 4: not know this, but I am an educated, collegiate gentleman,
- 33:11Speaker 4: and I can always adapt to the situation.
- 33:15Speaker 1: I understand. You're like you're like a chameleon. You can
- 33:18Speaker 1: adapt to your environment.
- 33:19Speaker 4: Yes, something like that, you know. But Ben, like, I
- 33:21Speaker 4: got to get into something. I really got to talk
- 33:22Speaker 4: about something because I don't know what it is. But
- 33:25Speaker 4: Lorena has got all my bells and whistles buzzing and popping.
- 33:29Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what it is. I was
- 33:30Speaker 4: looking at pictures of Lorena on the website, and like,
- 33:34Speaker 4: Loraina gives this like I think there's two sides of Lorraine.
- 33:36Speaker 4: Like one minute, she gives off this like cute and
- 33:38Speaker 4: it's in ninive side. But like when I look at her,
- 33:41Speaker 4: there's something super sexy and sensual about Lorraine. I just
- 33:45Speaker 4: can't put my finger on that. And you know, I
- 33:48Speaker 4: could be right, I could be wrong. But then there's
- 33:51Speaker 4: only one real way to find out what Lorraine is
- 33:53Speaker 4: all about, Okay, and that's with a quick round of ben.
- 33:58Speaker 1: Okay, all right, people, President's Day addition, All right, here

- 34:16Speaker 4: not have to do it. If you don't want to
- 34:18Speaker 4: do it, it won't be too nassy. But I'm just
