Hello and welcome.

It's our number two.

That's right.

The hour, that's the power hour, the Greek freak.

Now, he's making excuses.

His Milwaukee Bucks eliminated from the playoffs.

We examine his excuse.

If we buy his excuse, also, you cannot dismiss the activism that that played a role with the

bucks being bounced in the playoffs.

We take a look at that.

And some wild trade scenarios on how the Greek freak can exit the state of Wisconsin.

All of it coming your way here in hour number two.

Enjoy.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Get out of here.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour.

It's the Ben Baller Show.

We are in the air everywhere, coast to coast, border to border and beyond.

But we are live and local inside your head, in your eardrums.

It's the power of radio, theater of the mind.
