Can you explain what signal? The St. Louis Cardinals are sending their fans by adding the all-you-can-eat section

We have other things playing but I wanted to start with basketball. I thought this was interesting story out of the Bay area as the golden state warriors are morphing back to the adonial foil warriors. Mike Montgomery bring him back as the coach my god horrific horrific warriors were leading the clippers at one point by 17 they ended up getting out to work by 27 points in the second half on a random random Monday night got smoked by the people's team and the clippers end up winning that game going away. Now Steph Curry is some chatter he's going to be shut down for another couple of days and there's a talk that he's not going to play again this year. What's the point by the time he gets back the warriors are going to be char broiled. It's a mess. It's a mess. So if you haven't heard the latest though on
6:09how to fix the mess in San Francisco and the adjacent area there. So if you have not as the world turns in pro bouncy ball who are Steph Curry and Dremon green expected to put a full court press on to try to recruit ding ding ding ding. Yes, LeBron James LeBron James. Come on down LeBron. Come on down. Yes. There you go as much sourdough bread as you want. Come on down. You need any fentanyl. Just go to anywhere you want. Well, you're an L.A. You can get fentanyl there too. But there come to San Francisco LeBron. Come on, man. What's not what's not the like about that? So as LeBron most think is done with the Lakers, he'll be leaving at the end of the year. And he enters the free agent marketplace. The rumblings are that Steph Curry and Dremon green who's already buddies. Dremons buddy buddy with LeBron, right? They love each other. Yeah, best friends. And so they're they're going to put the pressure on LeBron to come play in northern California. So that is
7:11a good jumping off point. Let's play some make believe sports talk radio. What do you say? That's fun, right? All right. So let's discuss the question. What would LeBron James going to Golden State look like with Steph Curry and Dremon green? So I've got Gira Deli, peekaboo and Marie Antoinette. And we will combine all of these things together. And we are going to go ABC and one, two, three, but you always have to start with number one. Number one. I said number one. Number one. So it would look like a remake of a film that's already been remade at least once, if not twice. You remember this came out about 10 years ago. There was a film called Going in Style. Do you remember that was a bank heist movie? You don't remember that? Yeah. So it had Morgan Freeman and Michael Cain were the headliners in that movie. And some other old dude. But you know, it was that they went around the rob banks, you know, a bunch of legends. In this case, instead of
8:16going in style, it would be let me bring my AARP card in terms of at least basketball. And you'd have LeBron, Steph and Dremon green rolling down Lombard Street in a rented convertible yelling, we still got it. We still got it. No, you don't. We still got it. No, you know, in football, if you're an old timer, there was a team called the Washington Redskins that had a big fan base, one super balls. And then the wokesters said, you can't be called that. So they changed the name. Now nobody knows who's on the team. Nobody knows who the team is. But they used to call the Redskins and his coach who loved old time plays. He brought all his old players from the ramps, your Jalen to the Redskins. And they were nicknamed the over the hill gang. So this would be the basketball version of the over the hill gang meets the Silicon Valley venture capitalist, be the way to go. And you have three either completely washed up or close to washed up players, trying
9:16to chase one last giant bag of Giridelli chocolate down near Fisherman's Wharf in Giridelli Square, just trying to get that one last big bag of chocolate. Sounds great. Sounds wonderful until someone has a hammy, go whammy. And then it's a problem in the fog. Their hammy goes whammy right in the fog. It's not good. This, for my purposes, would be a great mitzvah. I think about it. These guys get together. These knuckleheads, a highly combustible situation, highly combustible situation. If these guys get together, one bad loss. And then a dream on goes on that podcast and all of a sudden, he starts ranting and it's like a hostage situation. It's not right. It's just a mess basketball from a basketball standpoint. It's about as bad as it could possibly get. Right. Three guys trying to outthink
10:17father time in the NBA, in the shadow of the Bay Bridge right there. Okay. So we have the opening scene. I will take a drone shot down the Bay Bridge down and then round where the arena is. That's the opening shot. We do know that LeBron, I don't know if you heard about this, kind of has a big ego. You didn't know that. Oh my God. You did not know that. Yeah. So LeBron, and to be fair, I think most people like to be recruited. LeBron in particular to be courted. LeBron James being courted by Steph and Dremont Green putting the razzle dazzle on these guys and recruiting them to a Cupertino startup, you know, fundraising thing. Hey, LeBron, come out. There's some tech people. Okay. I'll go out. Why not? What the hell? There you go. Now, when the dust settles though, I am not changing my position. I am locked in and I am not changing my position that all roads
11:18for LeBron lead back to Cleveland. That he's going to complete the circle and you complete the circle by going back there and forcing the calves to take Brony James on because that's the only way Brony will stay in the NBA. Otherwise, he'll be never playing the game in the NBA without LeBron. So bring him in there. And the reason you go to Cleveland is even now they got James Hardin. He'll be gone after this year, but you bring you bringing LeBron in there because they got spite of Mitchell. I got some younger guys and they're more in the prime ability athletically. So that would be the way to go. Fresh your legs generally works out pretty well in that business. The whole warrior thing, the thing I'm a jig with the Golden State Warriors. You toss LeBron in there. And again, it would be wonderful for my job because these guys would be at each other's next. They'd be complete chaos and chaos is good talk radio. Terrible idea in terms of actually trying to win, but if you're just trying to get headlines, boy, that would be the way to go. Now, page two, Talala land,
12:23follow up, follow up story the other night. There's LeBron's buddy there who got, they're not really friends. In fact, it looks like they don't like each other at all. But Luca, Luca, who can Luca? Who can Luca? Not having a lot of fun right now in Lakerland. Remember those stories that were planted by Lucas people before the year. He's in the greatest shape of his life. Oh my God, Luca, Luca. Yeah. It was in like the health magazines. He went to a Yankee game, went in the booth with Michael Kaye and they were all bragging and all that. And while the stats are pretty good for Luca, he's not in any of the conversations for the MVP award. And it appears he's not having much fun. He's not having much fun. So we didn't get too much into it in a previous episode of the show. But during a recent Laker game, Luca, Don Chick and J.J. Reddick appeared to get into a dust up as Luca was not having any of what J.J. Reddick was serving. You had to have somebody step in as a peacemaker between those two.
13:27Now, immediately the basketball community rallied around and most of the talk was, it's not that big a deal. What are you doing? I was wrong with you. Now, others were concerned about this argument. Right? This does not, this is not a great look. This is not a great look. Luca, the star player and J.J. Reddick. So agent Rich Paul, LeBron's toady, the guy that's ridden LeBron's coattails and made a fortune from the LeBron to train. Yes. So Rich Paul claimed that the interaction between Luca and J.J. Reddick, he claimed was part of a healthy relationship. That's what I'm not making this up. All right. So question. You've got Luca, Don Chick and J.J. Reddick clearly beefing during a Laker game, during a Laker game and the agent for LeBron's like, Oh, no, this is all
14:36healthy here. Is this something or is this nothing? Is it something or nothing? So the arrow on this one is pointed at something. It was the Rich Paul quote, it was profound respect. He said it was profound respect. That was one of the quotes he gave there. So this becomes a peek-a-boo special. All right. It's a peek-a-boo special as in a peek behind the curtain, peek-a-boo behind the curtain. And what I saw from years and years of watching similar situations in basketball and other sports, I saw two dudes who cannot stand each other and this was a flashpoint. This was a flashpoint. Didn't like each other. And for a few seconds, I don't know, it was six, 10, 12 seconds, whatever it was, these two guys forgot that the red light is always on the camera. They're always on camera. And what you saw there was reality. Luca looked like he
15:44had just had enough. He wanted no more of podcast coach guy. The guy that got the job, because he suck up to LeBron more than anybody. JJ Reddick, who should not be an NBA coach. I mean, he's proven. He shouldn't be an NBA coach by the job that he's done with the Lakers. So Luca, I don't want to deal with this guy. And Reddick also had, he just gives the punch me in the face five. He's like the entitled Trust Fund baby rich guy, punch him in the face guy. That's JJ Reddick. That's how he comes across. And Reddick is pouring gas on the fire. Yeah, the other people it's like a, you know, a vaudevilleian thing when they get to come in and interrupt these guys. So my theory is you don't publicly snap like that knowing your on camera. You're during it's in a game. Unless the wires were already frayed. The wires were already frayed. Right. And so a healthy relationship. My fat ass healthy relationship. Come on. That's what you say
16:47when you go out there, you punch a hole in the drywall. And so I just remodeling, you know, I'm just, well, no, you were angry. You punched the drywall. There's a hole in the drywall. I got to get that fix. Well, no, no, no, I was just remodeling. It was, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, but I just want to remodeling. Well, no, that's what you're doing. So if it's so healthy, if this is so healthy between these two guys, all right. Why did they go public with it? Right. Why did they go public? I mean, it's not, they're not whispering. It's, it's snarling, right? Now normally you do this stuff behind closed doors. I mean, people that hate each other all the time in sports, you got to live together for six, seven months, depending on the sport there. You travel together, plane trains and onmobiles. And you don't like people normally you put up with eventually you get fed up and you have a point where you snap or you're like one sodo of the meds and you just have everyone you don't like traded. And Francis golden door because you don't like their politics or whatever. So you haven't traded other teams. That's what the meds did. But the Lakers, they just had a, they said a meltdown
17:50right there. And just Luca had that, he didn't look inspired. Let's put it that way. He looked irritated. He looked irritated to me. And sometimes you say it's passion. I didn't get the vibe. This was passion. I, I did not. I was contempt of podcast coach guy, contempt of podcast coach guy. And so there you go. And the good news is Reddicle be fired. LeBron will be gone. Reddicle be back on television. And then some other Gibroni will be coaching the Lakers next year. All right. Now, final point. One of them mentioned this. Several people have sent me emails on this. We did not talk about it in the previous episode of the show. But we'll talk about it here because I just so you stop sending me messages about it because I, I'll address. So we go to baseball, St. Louis, Missouri, where the Cardinals, the Redbirds announced over the weekend a new ticket option that offers bottomless soft drinks and various ballpark foods. Yeah. Yeah. Including in the
18:52price, which I believe is $29, you get a seat in Big Macland. Yeah, they give you a wristband. Now, this has happened. I just used to do this back in the day. And it allows the, the fan to return to a specific concession state as many times as they want at no additional charge. Now, they have a variety of food items that are available. However, you have to limit it to three items. So if $29, you get three items and you get your standard hot dog popcorn, you've got soft drinks, got, got all this stuff on there, chicken fingers, all that. But you can only choose three per game. So that's it. Three items. That's a odd question. Can you explain what signal the St. Louis Cardinals are sending their fans by adding this all you can eat section? Yeah. So this is the signals of flare gun from the Cardinals right in the night sky. It's a dog whistle is what it is. It's not
19:55just for the canines on the field because I'm old enough to remember when the Cardinals used to win a lot and they had good teams and they don't anymore. They suck. They're bad. You know, that, that roster does not look like a playoff roster. They might want to give fans as they leave the stadium a flea bath when you leave the stadium because you're likely covered in fleas watching that cardinal team out there playing baseball. But this is the baseball version. When you announce an all you can eat section, it's the baseball version of a white flag in March. It is. The Dodgers used to have this when they weren't winning. They got rid of it and they started winning the World Series. Of course, they bought all the good players, but they got rid of it. When your team, this is a malarism when your team starts pushing bottomless, brought worst and ice cream cups. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Yeah. It's a long standing belief of mine. When team suck, you lean into this kind of stuff. You cannot put a competitive team on the field. So you lean into ring of honor.
21:00You retire numbers from the glory days. You have more bobblehead nights like the angels do because the moms in Orange County don't care if they win or not. They just want to take their kids to a ball game and they don't really care who wins because it's in a high. It's Orange County. And then I toss in that same family. The all you can eat, but the all you can eat ticket. Which is it's like the Marie Antoinette of Major League Baseball. Let them eat winners. Let them eat nacho cheese from a pump. It's probably older than your kids and your grandkids and all that that's cardinal baseball, baby. There you go. You show up the size of a small pony and by the time you're done with the all you can eat, you leave as big as one of those bite Budweiser Clydesdales. You're just massive. They have to roll you in a wheelbarrow out of the stadium. You're that big, right? And they're still going to make money. I'm not going to do the rant here. I've done it on my podcast. The fifth hour like how buffets make money and what's the business model and all that.
22:03It's mostly cheap filler food. It's mostly cheap filler food. High calorie low cost. And they know that you really only have a finite time. Like buffets used to have endless. There was no time limit and then they added a time limit. So you go to like these buffets and it's like you got two hours or two and a half, three hours to eat. Well, it's about the time of a baseball game and it could be even less than that. Baseball now has a clock and sometimes these games end in less than two hours. You better go there and you got to starve yourself for a day or so do that intermittent fasting and then go for it. It is the Ben Mallor Show. So the Redbirds, they may not be contending here in 2026. However, your cholesterol will set new records if you take part in that. It is the Ben Mallor Show 877 99 on Fox 877 996 6369.

A reminder, a few minutes away. From a weekly staple. It's become a weekly staple. We'll see how long this last but our Fred Billy from Hollywood, Florida, better known by his stage name, Weed Man Hippie, a fan favorite, solving all of life's issues, unless he doesn't. But he'll be here hanging out. Ask a Weed Man, hashtag Ask A Weed Man, you can call up. We want to talk to him. The man, the myth, the legend. And say hello. And how do you do that? 877-99 on Fox, on X, at Ben Mallor. That's at Ben Mallor. He blew me off. And say hello to Lorraine, the FSR Tech Queen. Hi Bill. No talking, please. And Coupaloup at a Bronco fan, your comments can.
28:13And we'll be used against you in the kangaroo court of the Mallor militia. So please. Act accordingly. All right, back to what we go. As we continue on and on and on further and further into the night, we will have coming up here in a moment. Our friend Billy will be checking in. I see there are some questions coming in and mark the full name guy still fired up. Says you may be right about the St. Louis Cardinals. A once proud franchise, best in the National League Dodgers of Flores, since free agency printing money, rating Fort Knox, mutilating little old ladies, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, werewolves of London. Says mark the full name guy. Now, a lot of people understand the finances of the Dodgers. The Dodgers are fine financially. The problem will be in like 20, 30, eight or something like that. That's going to be the problem. Because at some point they got to pay Otani,
29:15almost all of his money when he's no longer playing and he's back in Japan, and they're going to have to pay him all the money. And then that becomes a mess. And then all these other guys that have deferred money, by then the Guggenheim group, you would think would sell the team. And someone else would have to take that on. Yeah, that's a problem for later. Yeah, it's not a now problem. You enjoy now. And then later on, you're the Miami Marlins or the Sacramento A's or something like that. The way that he goes for now though, it's really good. For now, it's really, really good. Fergdog says, great job referencing the movie Going in Style. Come to the Ben Mallor Show for the hot sports tags, but you stay for the pop culture references. And nobody knows more pop culture than Big Ben. Yeah, of course, let me tell you something. I mean, how many other people could mention a movie that nobody saw 10 years ago? And, right, not many. That's why you're so impressive. I mean, you think you put Morgan Freeman's name in there. The people would watch it.
30:15Don't think it won any awards or anything like that. And not that that matters. But M writes in. Lister M, he's a judge, unless he's not. It says first time listener, long time caller. Well, that is true. There are a lot of people that call the show that do not listen. There are many people that call the show that do not listen. With that being said, though, here we go. Let's strike up the band. We have no imaging for this. But the weed man, hippie. Hello, weed man. Hi, hippie. Welcome in, weed man. Hey, there. I love you. Florida. There he is right there. Any opening statement, weed man? Hey, was it Bobby Bonilla? Was going to get a million dollars a year to like 20, 40 or something? Yeah, July 1st is Bobby Bonilla Day. He gets a check every, yeah. How about that, right? Yeah, Bobby Bonilla Day is one of the great things in Met's history right there. And that's till 2035. He gets a check for 1.19 million dollars
31:15every July 1st. I'm going to use that. Yeah, that's wonderful. The deal that he got, he originally was like five. I think he bought out the Met's bottom out of like six million dollars. And so this is the agreement that he agreed to. So instead of six million, he gets a million dollars a year. And he's been getting it since 2011. Wow. Yeah. What? Why don't you get that kind of deal, weed man? I know, that would be great. I want that. All right, very good there. And so, weed man, we right off the bat here, we're doing Bobby Bonilla talk, which is always great. Not a burner. Oh, he has something about hauling. Oh, it's, I don't know, he's a fun fact there. Fergdog says, what is your go-to pickup line when hitting on a woman, weed man? Very important question of weed man. No, it's your, you have a certain line there that you use that always works. I'm married. No, that's right.
32:16Look at you, weed man. Oh, he's so faithful. Look at that, weed man. Quality gentleman. Hi, weed man. I'm so good. All right, let's see. You're shaning the morning right since Ask a weed man. Hashtag Ask a weed man says, weed man, do you, here's another polarizing question. Do you prefer blond sprunettes or redheads? Interesting. All of them. All of the above. There you go, weed man. All of the above. There's no bad answer. There's no bad answer there at all. There you go. Andy and Lionel Lake's Minnesota right since his, hey, Billy, have you ever considered being a greeter at Walmart? Traffic could meet, uh, what's that, weed man? Me, but you'd have to, like, apply and you'd have to go down there and the whole thing. You'd be, yeah, nothing's doing it in that. No, no, no. All right, let's take some calls for you here.
