This is the best of the Ben Mallor show on Fox Sports Radio.

A lot of broken takes, many of them, people jumping off the ship and now trying to swim back on the good ship clipper.

Welcome in the beginning of another week of the Ben Mallor show.

We are in the air everywhere as we hit the ground running coast to coast, border to border,

and beyond on the vast and powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the flight deck as we soar on the red eye all night long here at the very comfortable Fox Sports Radio Studios.

Hope all is well with you.

I think we know what we're going to lead with on this show.

Kupaloup was really hoping for this monologue.

I know Eddie wanted to see the Clippers win on Friday to get this monologue.

Roberto was nodding his head in agreement.

So here we are.

I'm going to give the staff on the show what they want.

They demanded it.

They said, Ben, give me a Clipper monologue on Sunday night into Monday morning.

I need that.

Well, you ask for it?
