Boom, Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three, our number three, some hot pro
bouncy ball talk, and we go where the story of
the day takes us. A lot of drama. We make
a b line for Gotham, a lot of drama around
Karl Anthony towns. He's being called out for the Knickerbockers
struggles against better teams.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Does he deserve the noise?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Also, an NBA executive says, Kevin Durant's sons look like
they can't stand being around each other. How does that
one hit you? And we'll go to baseball where John
Carlos Stanton took a leave from Yankee camp. Some says
for personal reasons, others say for medical tests in New York.
Where is this thing headed? It's headed, of course, for disarray.
(00:47):
We'll get into the details on that. All of it's
coming your way right now here. It is our number three.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's all about the kitty cat.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Welcome in the beginning of another.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Malar Riddle of to Day Mountain of Money as well
coming up later in the hour, and your phone calls.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But we begin with the top of the hour Mallar monologue.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
In the Mallard Monologue, here is all about pro bouncy ball,
Well not all about it.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
There's some other stuff going on, but we go where
the news of the day takes us.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
We're going to start out in New York City, Midtown Manhattan,
right over Penn Station where Madison Square Garden. The Mecca
is in Manhattan, called the Mecca, though team's there don't
win very often, but nonetheless that is our lead pro
bouncy ball style. For this monologue, the sky is falling.
(02:46):
It is raining down sulfur for the Manhattan based NBA franchise,
whose arena is just a couple of blocks away from
the NBA league headquarters. So if you've not been, I
get it. Most people don't watch the NBA until the playoffs,
if then at all.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But we are.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We're paying attention. And the Knicks not only a basketball team.
They have been miserable failures against the Kremdala Krem, the
top three teams in the league so far. In fact,
how bad are they the Knickerbockers against the top three
teams the Celtics, Cavs and Thunder are er and seven. Now,
I never played in the NBA, and I just toasted
(03:28):
an overnight show. But methinks that's not good, says the
guy with the microphone in front of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Me thinks that's not good.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Now. The Knicks recently lost back to back and belly
to belly to the Celtics and the Cadavers.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So you're probably saying, wee they're owen seven, but most
of those games have been closed.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
There's nothing to see here. You'd be wrong. You'd be wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
We have the number seven losses by an aggregate of
one hundred and forty one points. My computer, like brand
using malar math, tells me that the one hundred and
forty one point differential divided by seven, they have lost
by an average the Knicks of twenty points per game.
(04:15):
So the game's adn't even close. Gamesaturry even close. Now
that is a major problem. A bigger problem is the
finger pointing as to the blame game.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Who's getting the blame? Who do you think is getting
to blame?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's right, much of the blame game directed at Carl
Anthony Towns, the center who came over from the meanness salt,
the basketball team there has not been able to get
her done, and the games against the NBA's upper crust.
So let us discuss the question Carl Anthony Towns being
(04:52):
called out for the Knickerbockers struggles here against the better
teams in the NBA. Does he deserve the noise that
he is getting. So I've got rose, Hello Kitty, and
buttered popcorn, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to put the biscuit in the
(05:13):
basket is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Put the biscuit in the basket.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So, first of all, to answer the question, does Carl
Anthony Towns deserve the noise?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And I don't want to beat.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Around the bush here and I don't want to be
a shock jock or anything like that, the answer is
one hundred percent, not ninety one hundred and ten percent.
It's one hundred percent. Absolutely, Karl Anthony Towns deserves the noise.
This is like the Carnival cruise lines, all inclusive package.
The raspberries are part of the package. The raspberries are
(05:43):
part of the package. If you play well in New York,
they genuflect to you, they canonize you. If you play well.
It's really not just New York. It's pretty much anywhere
these days. Right, you play well, you're on top of
the world. Everyone loves you and all that wonderful stuff.
And if you blow there is a dog pile. It
(06:05):
is gang tackling, is what it is. The Knickerbockers they
went all in on what they thought was the cat's
me outright. They oh my god, Karl Anthony Towns, no
Nona's cat. They traded away a gaggle of players, most
of them backups. Julius Randall part of that trade as well,
with the timber puffs and flip the roster over. And
(06:30):
in the eyes of the Knickerbockers, they thought this was
like wine tasting. Now, I'm not a wine person. I
have friends of mine that invite me to go wine tasting.
I say no, I don't drink the wine, but I
do know a little bit about it. Right. It's a
very bougie thing. You go out there to some vineyard
and they've got wine, these little small sample the things
of wine there. And in wine tasting, it's all about combining.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Like you do in sports. You combined.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
In this case, Jalen Hurts is the rose and then
you put the cheese out the charcuterie board and that
would be Karl Anthony Towns. So you thought you combined
the wine and the cheese and it's supposed to be
a perfect pairing and all that, and surprise, surprise, surprise.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It has not.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
There's been a glitch in the thing of a jig
the watch McCall.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's not quite working for the Knickerbockers against the better teams,
and they've been exposed much like your favorite vampire when
given garlic.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Now, what is my supporting evidence?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I will tell you my supporting evidence when Karl Anthony
Towns is on the court against any of the top
ten offenses. Forget just the top three teams in the NBA,
any of the top ten offenses in the league, Karl
Anthony Towns. This season, the knixt defensive rating is one
hundred and twenty seven. Now what does that mean? Without
(07:49):
using pig latin here one hundred and twenty seven defensive rating.
So to put that in some layman's terms for you,
the worst defensive rating in the league we are is
one hundred and eighteen. So the Knicks are nine points
higher than the worst team in the NBA when they
play a good offensive team. You know what that smells like?
(08:12):
A fraud. It smells like a fraud. That's what it
smells like. Now, speaking of frauds, we go across the country.
We fly from Manhattan all the way out to the
Valley of the Sun Sky Harbor Airport with I believe,
the highest tax on rental cars of any airport in
(08:33):
the country because they have to pay for all those
spring training ballparks in the Greater Phoenix area, and they
make sure the out of towners pay for those those
spring training ballparks in the stadiums and whatnot. Anyway, so
no bigger underachiever in the Western Conference than the Phoenix
Suns team that used to pride themselves on the playing
(08:54):
on the Madhouse on McDowell back in the day and
the thunder Dan and exciting teams and now wow, man
they think all right. So anyway, one nameless NBA executive,
they never want to put their name on it. An
anonymous NBA executive recently said that Kevin Durant's sons look
like they can't stand being around each other.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
So how does that? How does that hit you?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
So I'm gonna answer it this way. While that is true,
perhaps it is irrelevant. Let me explain why the fact
that they like each other or don't like each other.
You'd obviously rather have everyone sit around the campfire and
sing kumbai Ya. But this is something that I relate to,
and I actually have some experience in this from my
(09:42):
early days in radio, when I was a radio stringer
and I was around the sports teams all the time
and was friendly with a lot of the people in
the team. In the locker room area. And I recall
back in my younger days covered some morbid La Clipper
teams in the late night in the early two thousands,
So we're going back a generation. And those guys could
(10:05):
not have been more friendly with each other. They loved
each other. On the road, they all hung out together,
they went to the same restaurants, they went to the
same bars, they picked up the same women, flirted with them.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
All that.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
They loved each other, right, probably drank the same alcohol,
did the same drugs, all that stuff, and could not
have sucked more together.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But yet if you go by the mantra they like
each other, well they should have been great.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They loved each other, hung out all the time, played
video games the whole thing. Now's in the days before
social media, so you had to find things to do
to kill the time on a video game plan back then.
And so that's my argument there, right, I mean, they
all got together, they partied together, they did.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
The whole thing.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
From thirty thousand here's my diagnosis on the Phoenix basketball team,
and from thirty thousand feet up watching the Suns. Here
they are it's like you went to the store, toy store,
you went online bought some toys, and you bought a
Hello Kitty puzzle, and you bought a g I Joe puzzle,
(11:08):
and you put all the pieces together, and you took
a few pieces out, but you put them all on
the floor and said, all right, build the puzzle. And
you say it's one puzzle. It's not two puzzles. Build
the puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle pieces don't fit together. But
it's not because they don't like each other. There have
been teams that have won they didn't like each other.
In fact, I was around one of those teams too.
Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neil hated each other. Kobe thought
(11:29):
Shaq was a fat ass, and Kobe was annoyed by
how little Shaq worked out and didn't take basketball seriously.
And Shaq was annoyed by Kobe because Kobe got under
Shack's skin. And yet they won a bunch of championships together.
It worked out fine. They didn't really like each other
at all. They didn't hang out together. In fact, Shaq
famously saying about Kobe Bryant, you know how's Mike took
(11:51):
his taste famously back in the day. All right, So
what happened here. It's like styles make fight, styles make teams.
You had the nerd department, the analyt, the department who
got together with the owner and they're like, well, we
need this, this and this and put this together.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
This is gonna win and uh and.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
The jigsaw puzzle pieces do not fit together. Okay, that's
the issue. And some nerd cooked up the roster and
I'm sure the online model they played out the season
ten thousand times and the models.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Said, are you gonna win the X number of games
and all this if.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
This guy stays healthy and that guy stays healthy and
the blend is bitter despite what the tablet showed, the
reality the human.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Element doesn't work, doesn't work. They suck.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
They're terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible. A right now, final fun
to baseball we go the New York Yankees. Another story
about John Carlos Stanton. Conflicting reports, conflicting reports. Now gihn
Carlo Stanton left spring training on Monday, left Florida. He
returned to New York. They say for personal reason. That
(12:59):
was the initial report, for personal reasons from Aaron Boone.
There are other reports saying, well he was actually going
to get a second medical exam on his arthritic shoulders,
and I guess elbows. You got arthritick tennis elbow got
the main problem to elbow problems. You only have two elbows,
so you can really only have two elbow problems. And
(13:20):
so what's going on here, Gihn Carlos Stanton. We know
he left the Yankee spring training clan camp one says,
one report said personal reasons. Others say for medical testing.
So where is all this headed? So spring training is
about optimism. Spring training is about the hope of a
new baseball season, and you're gonna defy.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
The odds, you're gonna win.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
The Yankees never really defy the odds because they're always
one of the favorites to win the World Series. But
in this case, after a several minute long Mallar deliberation
on the Gian Carlos Stanton story, this is headed to
Buttered Popcorn Land, the snack bar Buttered Popcorn.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You see, this is a trailer.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And just like when you go to the movie theater,
they say coming attractions to a theater near you, available
for all audiences. And yeah, in many ways, John Carlo
is hitting the ground running. In this case, it's really
the sleeping bag. He's hitting the sleeping bag and he's
getting the top spot in the injury tent, is what
(14:21):
he's doing. He's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna be injured.
I'm gonna miss anywhere from fifty to seventy games this year,
maybe more, maybe more, not less, maybe more not less.
And so it's the old line like Parcels had back
in the day when he coached in the NFL GIHN.
Carlos Stanton is so dinged up all the time that
the training room is his social club, like that's that's
(14:44):
where he goes to get all the gossip and all
that because he's there so often. It is the Ben

Sid that video that some don't put up on YouTube,
he snuck in, Well he didn't sneak in. A couple
of his buddies snuck in to the super Bowl in
New Orleans. You know they talked about no one's going
to get in here and all that stuff. But yeah,
a couple of weeks after the super Bowl, these guys
put a video up revealing how now the guy he
(24:22):
didn't do it, but his two buddies managed to sneak
in to the most secure event in America, an event
where the President of the United States was in attendance.
And this guy gave a blow by blow tutorial of
how to sneak in to the World's not the world.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
So it's the Super Bowl, right, Do you think you
could do it?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
You watch the video.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
No, but I couldn't because I stand out like a
sore thumb. I'm kind of a tall, weird looking dude.
But if you look if you look normal, you could
do it. I had somebody that I know in radio
who did not have a field pass but stood on
the field during the Super Bowl years ago in Atlanta,
and because he just looked like he belonged there, and
(25:10):
he kind of like waved the security guards.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
There's all these checkpoints you have to go through, like
tons of checkpoints.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And so this guy was just like on a wave
at them and give them the nod, and he looked
like he belonged and people just allowed him to stand
on the field during the entire Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Wild you can you can't pull it off.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Fake it till you make it.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, they said, that's a lot of life. That's a
lot of life. Just act like you belong there, and
people will assume you belong there. Now that's a little
scary when they're security people and they're supposed to check
and all that.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But the rules change, you know, the rules. The rules
changed quite a bit. It happens. It is the Ben
Malors Show. As we are rolling on.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Steve writes in and says, I saw on Instagram the
three dirtiest fast food restaurant are he says, here do
you know? And this is according to Steve, I don't know.
You might be making this up here. The three dirtiest
fast food restaurants?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
What do you think me to guess? Go ahead?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Can't be McDonald's. They are two widespreads.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So let's go with Jack in the Box. Jack in
the Boxes a regional changes, not all over the country,
and it is not on the top three. Okay, Popeyes,
No you had dirty Popeyes?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Well no, but didn't they used to make rats out
of their chicken?
Speaker 5 (26:29):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
No, I don't think they did. No, you're making that
that was just like that's an internet room.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Oh I'm so gullible.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yes you are.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yes. I would like to say if anyone who's legigious
is listing. I have never heard anything about them serving rats.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, it's there, so I bet you do. I bet
you do. Now, the dirtiest restaurants a corner, Steve, here
are Taco Bell. Congratulations. I knew it was going to
be on there. Screw this list. Chipotle also on cancer.
But the one I agree with is the Burger King.
I've never been to a clean Burger King.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yeah, I don't know they even bothered to buy cleaning
supplies at Burger King.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I've never seen a clean berger.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Have you been in the back of a Burger King?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
No, If the front's diurdy, I can't imagine the back
clean if they're not bothering to clean the part where
the customers are sitting the places I've been doing. I
don't go to Burger King much anymore, but back in
the day, I was a regular at the King King
Burger's got my whoppers back in the day, and it
was always filthy.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's disgusting. So I can only imagine what was.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Supposed to be the best because it's grilled beef. You know,
blame grill char broiled, I believe is the flame grilled flame.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I think you're thinking of No, I think you are
I think you are confused.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I am not confused.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I feel like you are confusing.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I feel like no go looking up looking at it
right now, it is as the flame grilled patties.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Oh, you're right, it's burger king. But I mean but
as Junior does it. Also, it's changed they it used
to be flame flame broiled, but now they say flame grilled.
Didn't they change that? Years ago? Charm broiled was one
of them.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
That's what you're thinking, just like you thought it was
built Toyota tough. Now it's for and tough.

It's our number three, our number three, some hot pro
bouncy ball talk, and we go where the story of
the day takes us. A lot of drama. We make
a b line for Gotham, a lot of drama around
Karl Anthony towns. He's being called out for the Knickerbockers
struggles against better teams.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Does he deserve the noise?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Also, an NBA executive says, Kevin Durant's sons look like
they can't stand being around each other. How does that
one hit you? And we'll go to baseball where John
Carlos Stanton took a leave from Yankee camp. Some says
for personal reasons, others say for medical tests in New York.
Where is this thing headed? It's headed, of course, for disarray.
(00:47):
We'll get into the details on that. All of it's
coming your way right now here. It is our number three.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's all about the kitty cat.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Welcome in the beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Hour of the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
We are in the air evwhere as we break rocks,
make big rocks, small rocks, and we are your neighborhood
sports talk market absolutely coast to coast, border to border,
and beyond on the mast and appentizingly powerful microphones of
(01:30):

the warpath, there is no stopping us at all, no
matter what econ Roseville, Minnesota tries to do.

Me coming up later this hour. We'll have the.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Malar Riddle of to Day Mountain of Money as well
coming up later in the hour, and your phone calls.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But we begin with the top of the hour Mallar monologue.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
In the Mallard Monologue, here is all about pro bouncy ball,
Well not all about it.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
There's some other stuff going on, but we go where
the news of the day takes us.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
We're going to start out in New York City, Midtown Manhattan,
right over Penn Station where Madison Square Garden. The Mecca
is in Manhattan, called the Mecca, though team's there don't
win very often, but nonetheless that is our lead pro
bouncy ball style. For this monologue, the sky is falling.
(02:46):
It is raining down sulfur for the Manhattan based NBA franchise,
whose arena is just a couple of blocks away from
the NBA league headquarters. So if you've not been, I
get it. Most people don't watch the NBA until the playoffs,
if then at all.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But we are.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We're paying attention. And the Knicks not only a basketball team.
They have been miserable failures against the Kremdala Krem, the
top three teams in the league so far. In fact,
how bad are they the Knickerbockers against the top three
teams the Celtics, Cavs and Thunder are er and seven. Now,
I never played in the NBA, and I just toasted
(03:28):
an overnight show. But methinks that's not good, says the
guy with the microphone in front of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Me thinks that's not good.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Now. The Knicks recently lost back to back and belly
to belly to the Celtics and the Cadavers.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So you're probably saying, wee they're owen seven, but most
of those games have been closed.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
There's nothing to see here. You'd be wrong. You'd be wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
We have the number seven losses by an aggregate of
one hundred and forty one points. My computer, like brand
using malar math, tells me that the one hundred and
forty one point differential divided by seven, they have lost
by an average the Knicks of twenty points per game.
(04:15):
So the game's adn't even close. Gamesaturry even close. Now
that is a major problem. A bigger problem is the
finger pointing as to the blame game.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Who's getting the blame? Who do you think is getting
to blame?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's right, much of the blame game directed at Carl
Anthony Towns, the center who came over from the meanness salt,
the basketball team there has not been able to get
her done, and the games against the NBA's upper crust.
So let us discuss the question Carl Anthony Towns being
(04:52):
called out for the Knickerbockers struggles here against the better
teams in the NBA. Does he deserve the noise that
he is getting. So I've got rose, Hello Kitty, and
buttered popcorn, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to put the biscuit in the
(05:13):
basket is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Put the biscuit in the basket.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So, first of all, to answer the question, does Carl
Anthony Towns deserve the noise?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And I don't want to beat.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Around the bush here and I don't want to be
a shock jock or anything like that, the answer is
one hundred percent, not ninety one hundred and ten percent.
It's one hundred percent. Absolutely, Karl Anthony Towns deserves the noise.
This is like the Carnival cruise lines, all inclusive package.
The raspberries are part of the package. The raspberries are
(05:43):
part of the package. If you play well in New York,
they genuflect to you, they canonize you. If you play well.
It's really not just New York. It's pretty much anywhere
these days. Right, you play well, you're on top of
the world. Everyone loves you and all that wonderful stuff.
And if you blow there is a dog pile. It
(06:05):
is gang tackling, is what it is. The Knickerbockers they
went all in on what they thought was the cat's
me outright. They oh my god, Karl Anthony Towns, no
Nona's cat. They traded away a gaggle of players, most
of them backups. Julius Randall part of that trade as well,
with the timber puffs and flip the roster over. And
(06:30):
in the eyes of the Knickerbockers, they thought this was
like wine tasting. Now, I'm not a wine person. I
have friends of mine that invite me to go wine tasting.
I say no, I don't drink the wine, but I
do know a little bit about it. Right. It's a
very bougie thing. You go out there to some vineyard
and they've got wine, these little small sample the things
of wine there. And in wine tasting, it's all about combining.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Like you do in sports. You combined.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
In this case, Jalen Hurts is the rose and then
you put the cheese out the charcuterie board and that
would be Karl Anthony Towns. So you thought you combined
the wine and the cheese and it's supposed to be
a perfect pairing and all that, and surprise, surprise, surprise.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It has not.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
There's been a glitch in the thing of a jig
the watch McCall.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's not quite working for the Knickerbockers against the better teams,
and they've been exposed much like your favorite vampire when
given garlic.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Now, what is my supporting evidence?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I will tell you my supporting evidence when Karl Anthony
Towns is on the court against any of the top
ten offenses. Forget just the top three teams in the NBA,
any of the top ten offenses in the league, Karl
Anthony Towns. This season, the knixt defensive rating is one
hundred and twenty seven. Now what does that mean? Without
(07:49):
using pig latin here one hundred and twenty seven defensive rating.
So to put that in some layman's terms for you,
the worst defensive rating in the league we are is
one hundred and eighteen. So the Knicks are nine points
higher than the worst team in the NBA when they
play a good offensive team. You know what that smells like?
(08:12):
A fraud. It smells like a fraud. That's what it
smells like. Now, speaking of frauds, we go across the country.
We fly from Manhattan all the way out to the
Valley of the Sun Sky Harbor Airport with I believe,
the highest tax on rental cars of any airport in
(08:33):
the country because they have to pay for all those
spring training ballparks in the Greater Phoenix area, and they
make sure the out of towners pay for those those
spring training ballparks in the stadiums and whatnot. Anyway, so
no bigger underachiever in the Western Conference than the Phoenix
Suns team that used to pride themselves on the playing
(08:54):
on the Madhouse on McDowell back in the day and
the thunder Dan and exciting teams and now wow, man
they think all right. So anyway, one nameless NBA executive,
they never want to put their name on it. An
anonymous NBA executive recently said that Kevin Durant's sons look
like they can't stand being around each other.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
So how does that? How does that hit you?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
So I'm gonna answer it this way. While that is true,
perhaps it is irrelevant. Let me explain why the fact
that they like each other or don't like each other.
You'd obviously rather have everyone sit around the campfire and
sing kumbai Ya. But this is something that I relate to,
and I actually have some experience in this from my
(09:42):
early days in radio, when I was a radio stringer
and I was around the sports teams all the time
and was friendly with a lot of the people in
the team. In the locker room area. And I recall
back in my younger days covered some morbid La Clipper
teams in the late night in the early two thousands,
So we're going back a generation. And those guys could
(10:05):
not have been more friendly with each other. They loved
each other. On the road, they all hung out together,
they went to the same restaurants, they went to the
same bars, they picked up the same women, flirted with them.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
All that.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
They loved each other, right, probably drank the same alcohol,
did the same drugs, all that stuff, and could not
have sucked more together.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But yet if you go by the mantra they like
each other, well they should have been great.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They loved each other, hung out all the time, played
video games the whole thing. Now's in the days before
social media, so you had to find things to do
to kill the time on a video game plan back then.
And so that's my argument there, right, I mean, they
all got together, they partied together, they did.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
The whole thing.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
From thirty thousand here's my diagnosis on the Phoenix basketball team,
and from thirty thousand feet up watching the Suns. Here
they are it's like you went to the store, toy store,
you went online bought some toys, and you bought a
Hello Kitty puzzle, and you bought a g I Joe puzzle,
(11:08):
and you put all the pieces together, and you took
a few pieces out, but you put them all on
the floor and said, all right, build the puzzle. And
you say it's one puzzle. It's not two puzzles. Build
the puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle pieces don't fit together. But
it's not because they don't like each other. There have
been teams that have won they didn't like each other.
In fact, I was around one of those teams too.
Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neil hated each other. Kobe thought
(11:29):
Shaq was a fat ass, and Kobe was annoyed by
how little Shaq worked out and didn't take basketball seriously.
And Shaq was annoyed by Kobe because Kobe got under
Shack's skin. And yet they won a bunch of championships together.
It worked out fine. They didn't really like each other
at all. They didn't hang out together. In fact, Shaq
famously saying about Kobe Bryant, you know how's Mike took
(11:51):
his taste famously back in the day. All right, So
what happened here. It's like styles make fight, styles make teams.
You had the nerd department, the analyt, the department who
got together with the owner and they're like, well, we
need this, this and this and put this together.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
This is gonna win and uh and.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
The jigsaw puzzle pieces do not fit together. Okay, that's
the issue. And some nerd cooked up the roster and
I'm sure the online model they played out the season
ten thousand times and the models.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Said, are you gonna win the X number of games
and all this if.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
This guy stays healthy and that guy stays healthy and
the blend is bitter despite what the tablet showed, the
reality the human.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Element doesn't work, doesn't work. They suck.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
They're terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible. A right now, final fun
to baseball we go the New York Yankees. Another story
about John Carlos Stanton. Conflicting reports, conflicting reports. Now gihn
Carlo Stanton left spring training on Monday, left Florida. He
returned to New York. They say for personal reason. That
(12:59):
was the initial report, for personal reasons from Aaron Boone.
There are other reports saying, well he was actually going
to get a second medical exam on his arthritic shoulders,
and I guess elbows. You got arthritick tennis elbow got
the main problem to elbow problems. You only have two elbows,
so you can really only have two elbow problems. And
(13:20):
so what's going on here, Gihn Carlos Stanton. We know
he left the Yankee spring training clan camp one says,
one report said personal reasons. Others say for medical testing.
So where is all this headed? So spring training is
about optimism. Spring training is about the hope of a
new baseball season, and you're gonna defy.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
The odds, you're gonna win.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
The Yankees never really defy the odds because they're always
one of the favorites to win the World Series. But
in this case, after a several minute long Mallar deliberation
on the Gian Carlos Stanton story, this is headed to
Buttered Popcorn Land, the snack bar Buttered Popcorn.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You see, this is a trailer.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And just like when you go to the movie theater,
they say coming attractions to a theater near you, available
for all audiences. And yeah, in many ways, John Carlo
is hitting the ground running. In this case, it's really
the sleeping bag. He's hitting the sleeping bag and he's
getting the top spot in the injury tent, is what
(14:21):
he's doing. He's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna be injured.
I'm gonna miss anywhere from fifty to seventy games this year,
maybe more, maybe more, not less, maybe more not less.
And so it's the old line like Parcels had back
in the day when he coached in the NFL GIHN.
Carlos Stanton is so dinged up all the time that
the training room is his social club, like that's that's
(14:44):
where he goes to get all the gossip and all
that because he's there so often. It is the Ben

But it is time now for the Mallard Riddle of
the Day. And Denver Nuggets star and former multi time

I don't need to take a call. You just sit
here and nap the whole night away? All right?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I go?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
That's that? Go away? What's wrong with you? Nonsense?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Sid that video that some don't put up on YouTube,
he snuck in, Well he didn't sneak in. A couple
of his buddies snuck in to the super Bowl in
New Orleans. You know they talked about no one's going
to get in here and all that stuff. But yeah,
a couple of weeks after the super Bowl, these guys
put a video up revealing how now the guy he
(24:22):
didn't do it, but his two buddies managed to sneak
in to the most secure event in America, an event
where the President of the United States was in attendance.
And this guy gave a blow by blow tutorial of
how to sneak in to the World's not the world.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
So it's the Super Bowl, right, Do you think you
could do it?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
You watch the video.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
No, but I couldn't because I stand out like a
sore thumb. I'm kind of a tall, weird looking dude.
But if you look if you look normal, you could
do it. I had somebody that I know in radio
who did not have a field pass but stood on
the field during the Super Bowl years ago in Atlanta,
and because he just looked like he belonged there, and
(25:10):
he kind of like waved the security guards.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
There's all these checkpoints you have to go through, like
tons of checkpoints.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And so this guy was just like on a wave
at them and give them the nod, and he looked
like he belonged and people just allowed him to stand
on the field during the entire Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Wild you can you can't pull it off.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Fake it till you make it.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, they said, that's a lot of life. That's a
lot of life. Just act like you belong there, and
people will assume you belong there. Now that's a little
scary when they're security people and they're supposed to check
and all that.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But the rules change, you know, the rules. The rules
changed quite a bit. It happens. It is the Ben
Malors Show. As we are rolling on.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Steve writes in and says, I saw on Instagram the
three dirtiest fast food restaurant are he says, here do
you know? And this is according to Steve, I don't know.
You might be making this up here. The three dirtiest
fast food restaurants?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
What do you think me to guess? Go ahead?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Can't be McDonald's. They are two widespreads.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So let's go with Jack in the Box. Jack in
the Boxes a regional changes, not all over the country,
and it is not on the top three. Okay, Popeyes,
No you had dirty Popeyes?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Well no, but didn't they used to make rats out
of their chicken?
Speaker 5 (26:29):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
No, I don't think they did. No, you're making that
that was just like that's an internet room.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Oh I'm so gullible.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yes you are.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yes. I would like to say if anyone who's legigious
is listing. I have never heard anything about them serving rats.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, it's there, so I bet you do. I bet
you do. Now, the dirtiest restaurants a corner, Steve, here
are Taco Bell. Congratulations. I knew it was going to
be on there. Screw this list. Chipotle also on cancer.
But the one I agree with is the Burger King.
I've never been to a clean Burger King.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yeah, I don't know they even bothered to buy cleaning
supplies at Burger King.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I've never seen a clean berger.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Have you been in the back of a Burger King?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
No, If the front's diurdy, I can't imagine the back
clean if they're not bothering to clean the part where
the customers are sitting the places I've been doing. I
don't go to Burger King much anymore, but back in
the day, I was a regular at the King King
Burger's got my whoppers back in the day, and it
was always filthy.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's disgusting. So I can only imagine what was.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Supposed to be the best because it's grilled beef. You know,
blame grill char broiled, I believe is the flame grilled flame.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I think you're thinking of No, I think you are
I think you are confused.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I am not confused.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I feel like you are confusing.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I feel like no go looking up looking at it
right now, it is as the flame grilled patties.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Oh, you're right, it's burger king. But I mean but
as Junior does it. Also, it's changed they it used
to be flame flame broiled, but now they say flame grilled.
Didn't they change that? Years ago? Charm broiled was one
of them.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
That's what you're thinking, just like you thought it was
built Toyota tough. Now it's for and tough.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
