It's all coming your way.

But right now, our number four, the Real Luck of the Irish. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere, hand in glove as the audio storm has passed.

We think it's been a zany night.

Coast to coast, border to order and beyond into the wee hours of the morning on the mast and ludicrously powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from the griddle as we have been flipping burgers all night long. We're broadcasting live from the tay Raq dot com studios.

Tyraq dot com will help you get.

There in unmatched selections, re shipping free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers tyro raq dot com the way tire buying should be. I know, the Nature boy who's doing the day night doubleheaders, did a little rare and appropriate daylighting as we call it those of us that are night people daylighting yesterday and Nature White was able to hear hear that he's back with us today as well.

And college basketball.

Yeah, doing this thing here, another full day of collegiate basketball. We will talk about that as we work our way through the rest of this hour, but I'm not going to lead with that. There's a story that I don't don't bear the lead. I find this story fascinating and I think you'll agree that it's out of pro bouncy ball.

So bear with me. Oh pro bouncy ball, what do you doing?

But we have a new owner coming to the NBA, and oh who cares whatever? It's some aristocrat, another rich guy. Most of these owners end up buying the teams when they're in their sixties because they're like, I'm in like the not the final chapter of my life, but I've made enough money, I've worked long enough. I just want the ultimate status symbol. When I go to the Hamptons or South Beach or Beverly Hills, I want everyone to come up to me because I own Team X. So if you didn't hear about this, perhaps not the Boston Celtics, the winningest franchise in the NBA. The Boston Celtics, their ownership group, has agreed to sell the team to someone named.

William Chisholm, who goofed. I don't let me check my big board of oligarchs.

So this guy is the managing director and co founder of something called Symphony Technology Group. The price tag on the Celtics six point one bill dollars with a big so the deal was announced in the last twenty four hours. A group of investors buying the Celtics, led by William Chisholm. The franchise being sold by Irving, who actually owns the team and is his kid, Wick Grossbeck, who's been really the face of the Celtics ownership group. And so it is the largest sale of a North American sports franchise, believed to be the largest sale in the world.

For any sports franchise.

From what I was reading, the previous record was held by the NFL's Washington Redskins slash Commanders last year. So the sale, here's the thing, though it does not include the garden.

It is owned.

That arena is owned by the Boston Bruins, and the Celtics have a lease that runs through twenty thirty five, so they got another ten ten years on that lease to play at the arena. There's been a lot of chatter that they're going to leave that arena and build a arena somewhere out in the suburbs, which will likely not go over very well. Not a lot of available land in Boston proper, all right, So let us discuss the question can you put the record breaking six point one billion dollars sale price of the Celtics into the context.

Of this conversation.

So I've got good housekeeping, cockpit and chess, and we will combine all of these things together and we are gonna make the Gabba goool. We're gonna make the Gaba goool. All right, So to lead off, this is a great day if you're rich, if you're Richie rich, you're now Richie Richie rich, if you know what I mean. The NBA owners, the one percenters who own these NBA teams, are strutting around like peacocks.

All right. This always happens.

Right, anytime a team is sold for a record amount. But this is next level, right And by the way, Peacock is also going to be a TV partner of the NBA next season. It is a massive overpay, massive overpay considering that no arena or ownership of a team network is included. You're not, as we said, you're not getting the arena of the Celtics plan.

They don't own it. They lease it.

And they own part of NBC Sports Boston, which is my favorite TV station in Boston because it is the home of the TV show Benny Versus the Penny. But Wick Grossbeck and the family think about the investment here. They they invested three hundred and sixty million dollars to purchase the Celtics. The team has now been sold for six point one billion.

That is a.

One thousand, five hundred and ninety four per sent profit. Of course you gotta pay taxes and all that, but this is a ginormous financial bonanza.

Is the word I will use for the.

For the owners, as everyone in the NBA is going to see their franchise values go up. I said, well, it's it's it's a unique situation because the Celtics are at the very top of the food chain in the NBA.

But for the green team fan, it's complicated.

So like if you're a rich person, it's easy, but if you're a fan, it's complicated.

Here's why. After a minutes.

Long Mallard deliberation, good housekeeping, as we understand it, the Celtics were sold. The plan was made a couple of years ago to sell the team. They they talked about it about a year ago.

But the team was.

Sold because the Grosspec family simply does not want to pay the bill, the luxury tax bill. The small market I say that in air quotes all market NBA teams. We're able to get together and change the by laws of the NBA to try to screw over the teams like the Celtics, the Clippers, the Lakers, the Knicks, who spend a lot of money and so they have this like like aprins, you know, and who can't get into too much of that because my eyeballs will start bleeding. But the Celtics are expected to have a four hundred and forty five million dollars salary and tax penalties next season.

Now that's four hundred and forty.

Five million for a basketball team that has roughly fifteen players on it, and the number likely will go above five hundred million when they fill out the roster. So the ownership changing of the guard here is not gonna happen till twenty twenty eight. So my theory on this, let me give you my hypothesis is that in the transitional period, the gross Back family will be the bad cop and they're gonna have to clean house a little bit. Now, they're not gonna get rid of Jason Tatum, but Jalen Brown bye bye, he's in danger. Average Al Horford. They're gonna trim some of the excess, some of the really unique features of this Celtic team, and those guys will enter the transfer portal, and I would expect a reshuffling of resources in Boston because he either get rid of some of the big contracts now or you do it later.

And I would.

Assume the new owner wants to come in as like the conquering hero, and he's from.

The Boston area.

And so if you have the outgoing ownership group rip the team apart, then the new owner comes in there, it's like, Okay, we'll all clean it up.

I'll clean up the mess. Good cop, bad cop? All right now.

Furthermore, so, what happens next in the NBA after the Celtic sale.

So I've figured this out.

I've looked at the timeline, I've looked at the map, and there is a message coming out of the cockpit. The message is flight attendants.

Prepare for takeoff. Prepare for takeoff, and this clears the runway for takeoff. I'm talking about expansion. Can we say SuperSonics? Can we say SuperSonics?

There have been blueprints under lock and key for a while now. The tentative plan has been to bring back the Seattle NBA franchise and Las Vegas.

Now.

I talked to somebody a while back that is connected who believes that when Seattle does get the team back, they will call it the SuperSonics that they're working out. They've kind of worked out the tentative agreement between the owners of the Thunder and they'll.

They'll work all that out or it has been tentatively worked out.

We'll see if that happens or not Las Vegas, but that will be the next phase. Now that the Celtics sale is done. They've set this ungodly amount for the Celtics at six point one billion, so now they can add teams thirty one, team thirty two. We're talking about three or four billion to get a seat at the table to buy an NBA expansion team, and that's straight cash. That money is divided to all the poverty franchises in the NBA. Everyone gets a slice of the pie because when you're an expansion team, they're gonna have to cut up the league ride league wide revenue from media deals in merch and those expansion teams will get a giant check every year from being part of the paternal order of the.

Cartel of Basketball.

It is also interesting to note that another one of my guys who I text with pointed out that this will set Lebron up because expansion is still going to be several years away. So Lebron can play a couple more years, and then he's got a piece of that Finway Sports group and they want their tentacles in the Vegas franchise, and so Lebron can be the point man for that team.

And Seattle's a little more disjointed.

There's a lot of rich people, the costco groups in Seattle. There's a lot of internet companies in Seattle. So we'll see what happens with that. Now, last thing, speaking of Lebron, A number of you idiots did you see Bronni did?

Were you? Did you see what Bronni did? Ranting?

And so there's no one was watching this because college basketball is going on.

But the Lakers played the Bucks and.

Bronnie James had seventeen points on seven of ten shooting, his greatest night in the NBA. Bronnie James seventeen points and people celebrating this. Bronni's arrived, right, Brownie's arrived. Yeah, I point this out. Bronnie James commented prior to the game. He said, of all the criticism that he's gotten, he said that you know, scrutiny and all that he gave the money quote, he says, I see everything that people are saying, and people think I'm an effing robot, like I don't have any feelings or emotions.

So Bronnie James ranting.

About not being a robot amid all the criticism, Do you have any empathy for Bronnie James after he scored seventeen points in a regular season NBA game.

So I'll go first here, and I'm shaking my head. No.

My eyes are closed and I'm shaking my head no. And I'm gonna get a headache if I keep doing this. But this is one of the great shakedowns in the history of the NBA. You can't rip Bronnie jamesy at seventeen points. Do you want to bet Bronnie James played twenty nine minutes fifty three seconds. You want to take a guess what his plus minus was? He must have had a good plus minus ready. He had seventeen points, seven of ten shooting. He had five assists and a few rebounds. Okay, reveal answers. Bronnie James playing twenty nine minutes and fifty three seconds while he was on the court.

The Lakers were outscored.

By thirty six points in his greatest night in the NBA, the team was outscored by almost forty points while he was on the court. And dumb dumbs, these schmanders, Well, Bronny was so good.

Come on, Bronni is the trophy.

Of Lebron, Lebron it's his masterpiece, right playing three D chess.

Bronnie James, He's just a pawn. He's just a pawn.

And Lebron strong arm, Genie Buss and Rob Polinka, and they gave Bronnie James a four year contract for almost.

Eight million dollars.

And if you look at all the numbers across the board, Bronnie James is in the bottom percentile in every category. But he's got a guaranteed contract for four years because his dad pulled up.

Doesn't I know.

It's not you know, other dads do the same thing and all. It's just it wasn't supposed to be like that.

In the NBA, and it is. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Yeah, I'm good, you know, I'm good.

Remember my goal of the rain when we when I first met you, Remember I told you my goal every day is to do the show and not get a phone call when I wake up, Hey, call me. When you get that text, Hey, when you wake up, call me. I don't want that text.

I hate those texts.

Yeah, Mike the Leprechaun says, Blobfish named fish of the Year in twenty twenty five.

Your Mom's a blobfish chaun.

Okay, come come there, there's a battle, there's a there's a little bit of tension.

Definitely a little tension there.

Tom says, what about that classic Wally Bachman Ryan, Yeah, that's solid.

I didn't have it on my big board, Tom all time, like top ten big board. I don't do lists, but I didn't have that. I know Terry's goes. Who you do days in a row? I don't. I don't understand stop burg Dogs has been.

It's a bad job. It's a bad job of me. Let's go the phones again. It is a call in show. And who do we have any meany miny Moe pick a caller by their name. Well, let's say hello to uh who do we have here? How about we go to Mark on the North End. Hello, Mark on the North End, Welcome.

Good morning, Benny.

Uh.

So, before I make my comments on Bronie James, I would like to stay on hold for the game show after. If that's possible, I'll put you.

I can't, I can't guarantee it, but I'll put you on hold, and it's possible.

How about that, Foster.

I appreciate it. So, yeah, Ronnie James, you know I have no empathy. I have no sympathy. I don't feel bad for the kid because if it wasn't for him being Lebron's kid, he wouldn't be a blip on the raid on screen.

Well, he wouldn't be in the NBA right now. He was. He was terrible in college and it would have had to go to the minor leagues, to go to Europe or something like that.

But what did he as seven points per game? In college?

Well, I think it was even worse than that. His last year. He was a backup. His last year in college he wasn't even a starter.

And he is a perfect case of getting what you got because of somebody else.

Yeah, it is, And I know what happens in every business and all that, but we were always taught, at least I was that it was supposedly a meritocracy and it was different and you earn it, you're not giving it in basketball, and it also well that's all I was.

Brought up then, and you don't get it unless you wear it.

Yeah, exactly exactly. But to be fair, I mean it is a case. You see this all the time.

Mark, how many of these coaches and gms are the sons of guys that coached or played in Like in football, you got Kyle Shanahan his dad, Mike Shannan, you got Sean McVay his grandfather was like some big shot for the forty nine ers.

So it's like it happens whole the time. But this was just like Blake but Blaye.

Mike Shanningan, Mike Shannahan was a good coach. And you know what I think, so is Kyle.

Yeah he's done all right. Not in big games though that had got so well for you.

Yeah all right, hold on a second, Mark, We'll see if we can figure out how to get you on there. Let's go to Andrea that we've had a crazy night. There have been a lot of weird things. We thought there might be some kind of cosmic event that we.

Don't know about.

Uh, I'm not sure, but let's check in with the astrology lady of this.

We smoked her out, We got she was.

Gonna take a bath, and we we made sure she called in here to give us the inside information. Is there a cosmic event that we don't know about that has paused the loony tones to call in here?

Yes, you know, Virgo and Service. When I heard that, it's like, you know, I'm really there for my clients and for you and your show, and it's like I'll call in I'll put your mind at ease. And basically, the full moon lunar eclipse, we feel it several days before and several days after. So that said, we're still feeling the energies of the full moon lunar eclipse. Just it was March fourteenth, and that was Steph Curry's birthday. He had the lunar eclipse on his son and Pisces on his birthday. He just got injured. I don't know if you heard that.

Oh yeah, I did see it.

Well, they said he had fatigued or he was tired or something like that.

So we're still seven days.

Later, correct, We're still feeling it. And yesterday was the well basically spring equinox, which is sun and aries, so that gets a little impatient and things speed up. And we have mercury retrograde, remember that, the little fly in the ointment March fourteen to April seventh, And we also have venus retrograde, which is a lot more rare, but venus is how you relate to people and relationships and finances, and that will be retrograde till the twelfth of April, so we have about another month of that. So it's been really tricky with a lot of planets retrograde, the full moon lunar eclipse, so we have to give ourselves kind of patients. We're still feeling the intense energies and you know, it's just normal to kind of act out and not quite know, you know, exactly what's going on.

Well, we have been, We've been feeling it.

Man, this is like a cosmic accident on this on this show tonight.

It's been pretty crazy. So well, thank you for the update and appreciate that. Get back to the bathtub. Okay, oh yeah, go.

All on the journey together.

So's right care, All right there she is phenomenal.

Yet again, she never disappoints our friend Andrea, the astrology lady from Berkeley. Let's let's say the Blind Scott emailed me and said, I'm not calling. I spent thirty five hours on hold this week and Fred Touchers off the morning show today in Boston, so I'm not calling your show.

Okay, all put him on.

I don't want to hear I mean, as much as I want to hear Fred, I don't want to hear Fred Toucher. So let's go to Whoopy Pie Blair. Now that's a legend. Whoopee Pie Blair in the State of Man. He actually put down.

Figure Blair's on long enough. Eventually he's gonna slip up. That's why people will be paying twenty five dollars for his podcast. If Blair gets people to pay twenty five dollars for his podcast, I am going to jump into the abyss, is what I'm going to do. Okay, do you understand that I am going to jump into the Grand Canyon. If he's getting twenty five dollars for people to listen to his podcast, well, let's get over to a man that doesn't need to get paid right now. Let's say hello to the Kooper Loop, the Coop Scoop on Entertainment, Horebra, Holly.

Horebra, Holly Cooper.

Thank you, Ben.

I feel a little bit thrown off because I don't have my normal U bos Sell. Yeah, yeah, but that's okay. I don't know what happened to him.

Miselle must be over in New Jersey with the famly.

So I'm going to very briefly talk about a couple new movies that are out this weekend. And the reason I'm going to say briefly is because I believe that both of these movies are.

Going to be very bad.

Gosh.

Yeah. So the first one is, of course, Disney snow White.

There's been lots of controversy surrounding this movie and the main character that plays snow White.

Uh.

The early reviews are not good, and I just I don't I don't see people, uh people going to see this, but who knows. I could be wrong. I'm interested to see how it does. I won't be seeing it, well, isn't Uh this is like the woke snow White.

It seems to me like even they are embarrassed by it. Now. I guess they're trying to I heard, Yeah, they like complaining. They're not promoting it.

They didn't do like a big red carpet, the kind of thing that like they were going to do, And I guess.

They didn't get the pulse of the people in America. Yeah, looking for a woke snow White bad job by Mickey Mouse.

Huh.

Yeah, it should should be interesting to see how fame.

Will that be worse than when they remember the the all female Ghostbusters was remember that?

Yeah?

That wasn't was that? I don't think that was Disney though, but no, it wasn't.

But it was still a disaster.

Yeah.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how much money they lose on this. Another movie that is out this weekend, and it's it's because I just saw the trailer for this for the very first time, like last week, and then it's already it's already out in theaters. It's the latest Robert de Niro Mafia movie. It's called The Alto Knights, and he plays two separate characters in this movie with the use of prosthetics and whatnot, so he has a lot of scenes with himself. The reviews are not good early on. It's got a thirty eight percent right now on Rotten Tomatoes. And one of my best friends already saw the movie and he said, and I quote, that was the most boring mob movie ever.

That's okay, Yes, I mean they've been I feel like they stopped making good mob movies a while ago.

What was the last good mob show? The Sopranos.

That's not a movie that was just it yeah, I mean last night.

That's a long time. That's like twenty years probably at least.

I don't know the last good mob movie was.

It's been been a while.

Uh, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna go and I'm gonna say that Departed, I.

Mean, where was that? This has been a while.

Yeah, that has been a long time.

Scorre Ses He came out with that one on Netflix, but I just I couldn't even get through it.

Two thousand and six was The Departed.

Yeah, it's almost twenty years ago. Yeah, yeah, right, it's funny graduated price years ago.

All right.

Moving on to television now, there's a couple shows out this weekend and they're all available right now that I well, most of them. First one that I want to bring up is a new series called Happy Face and this is on Paramount Plus and it stars Dennis Quaid as the real life serial killer Keith Hunter Jessperson, aka the Happy Face Killer. It is an eight episode Paramount Plus original and the first two episodes are available right now, and then the rest will come weekly. And then we also have a new show on Netflix called The Residents. Now they're saying what they're calling this is a screwball who done it? Kind of like like if it was Knives Out the White House edition? Okay, yes, and this one has got Uzzo Aduba from Orange's New Black starring in it as the lead detective. Gean Carlo Esposito also stars in this one, and Al Franken also.

Oh he's still around. Yeah, okay, So.

All eight episodes of that are available on Netflix right now. That is called The Residents. And then last but not least, if you want to wait till Wednesday, there is a new comedy premiering on Apple TV Plus. It is called The Studio and it stars Seth Rogan.

Where is that?
