Speaker 1 (00:09):
We stay up all night to give you the Ben
Malor Show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
And here in hour number one on this August twenty eighth,
this Thursday, the last Thursday without NFL football. How do
you read the Micah Parsons trade speculation to the Packers
and others? Also some social media Sherlock claiming that Micah
Parsons was seen in a rush at the Dallas Fort
Worth Airport. There's something there or is there nothing there?

(00:34):
And Terrence Parsons Junior, that's the brother of the Cowboys star.
He's entered the chat, posting on social media that it's
going to get ugly. Put your gloves on twelve rounds?
Can you explain what that means? And forty nine ers
DM John Lynch confirming that wide receiver Juwan Jennings did
did request a trade earlier this offseason, but that a

(00:56):
trade will not be happening.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Your thoughts on that right now?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
It is our number one.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Adding a little extra cheese, a cheesy twist if you
will wel come in the beginning of another night of
the Ben Mahlor show. We are in the air everywhere
with fresh thoughts as we upgrade the chatter.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Unless we don't coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and massively powerful microphones of FSRS,
the music dies early, emanating live from the Big A,
the A block of the show from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Matt the Bears Fan.

That's his name, Matt de Bears Fan, and this portion.

mister nice guy smile. Tire rac dot Com the way
tire buying show Beeace We're back at it again has
some really good feedback from Newby Knight yesterday.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
It is not Newbey Knight tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
People are saying we should do Nuby Night every night,
and I I did right back to one of those people.
Have a few people emailed me about Newby Knight saying, oh,
the show was a lot of energy, there was a
lot of buzz to it.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
You know, it wasn't the same characters, And sure it was,
but we did newby Night every night.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Then people would be asking for old timers night and
we don't want that. But I don't know what I
can do to get people to call new people to
call other than Nubie Night. I'm stuck in this rut.
If you have any ideas, like, do I have to
bribe people?

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Like what? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
But we'll talk more about that later. Our lead this
hour from our never ending drama. Oh rama, that's right,
we go to Big d I know, I know you're excited.
Come on, no, I know Charlie and Dallas is excited.
Another chapter in the Endless Endless soap opera involving Jerry's

(03:30):
world and the Edge. Jerry and the Edge. Now, if
you have not heard the latest on this, perhaps not,
no worries. We got youa So the speculation is bubbling
up bubble It's brewing that the Cantankerous Cowboys star Micah
Parsons could be traded Oh my god. And one of

(03:55):
the rumors that's been bouncing around the echo chamber of
the last couple of days is that not only will
Parsons be traded, but he will go to one of the.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Old school if you're really old rivals of the Dallas
Cowboys from a million years ago, the Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Now, there were three teams that have been tossed at.
I'm sure there's more than that, but the three teams
that are on my radar that have been mentioned as
trade possibilities for Michael Parsons are the Packers, the Cardinals,
and the Poets otherwise known as the Ravens. They have
been mentioned as teams that are considering a run at

(04:34):
Michah Parsons. So the squabbling between Parsons and Jerry Jones
has gone on for a couple of months. Now, we
love it. We have a talk show to do every day.
The Cold war situation is good for our business now.
In a related note, there was a social media sleuth
that went viral at the airport, posting a photo which
he claims shows Micah Parsons leaving the Dallas Fort Worth

(04:58):
International Airport. They have some great restaurants and a nice shuttle.
It takes you from terminal to terminal, and said he
appeared to be in no rush. In rush, rather not
no rush, he was in a rush. He was in
a rush, Michah Parsons. So let us discuss the question
as we unpack all this. How do you read how
do you read the Micah Parsons trade speculation. We'll start

(05:19):
with that to the packers and other teams. So my
thoughts on this. I've got Jimmy John's rocket launcher and
tire rack.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I don't know how they got in.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
There, but we'll we'll throw all these things together and
put the biscuit in the basket. That's what we're gonna
put the biscuit in the basket. So a, the speculation
circus is alive and well, and I'm here for it.
I got my big bucket of popcorn. I've got my snacks,
my cotton candy. Let's let's talk about Green Bay specifically,
because that's been bouncing around the old echo chamber, so

(05:52):
eating up a lot of bandwidth, a lot of bandwidth,
a lot of gigabytes on the on the package.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
So here here's what we we know about this, right, Well,
what do we know about this.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
The Packers are what. They're prim and proper. They're buttoned up,
their conservative. They're a community owned friend ruse the only
one in North American sport you may own a certificate
that has a piece of you know, has some writing
on this is you own ex percentage of the green

(06:23):
Bay Packers. They are in terms of the big move,
the big kahuna, the big ragoul, they are the Packers
vanilla ice cream. They're not Rocky Roll. They're not strawberry.
They're not some exotic mint chip. No, no, no, they
are vanilla. They're not even French vanilla. They're not slow

(06:45):
churn vanilla. They're just don't make the splitch splash move.
They've never done it the my entire life, I'm getting
old now, my entire life. The only time I remember
the Packers making a big move was when God told
them Minister of Defense to go to Green Bay because
God apparently was a Packer fan, when Reggie White went
to green Bay.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Other than that, I.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Don't recall any big moves. They don't trade for the
headline guy. They don't sign the big free agent. The
Packers they just slowly methodically draft players. They sign b
level free agents. They acquire sea level players, and they
certainly do not pick up players that are sitting on
a gold mine about to cash a windfall contract.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
They don't do that. MICHAEH.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Parsons is going to get several Brinks trucks now, whether
it's from the Cowboys or not, someone's gonna back those
bad boys up and drop the gold bouyon right on
his doorsteps. And that's not a Wisconsin tradition. Now, if
Michael Parsons wants to eat cheese.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Kurts, they're really good, he.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Can go over to Kenosha and he can go to
Kenosha the Cheese Castle. There they get all that good
stuff and eat Kolber's all the time. He can have
some brats and maybe a conservative signing bonus, But one
hundred million dollar pass Rusher, no way, green Bay, No way, Greeny.

(08:11):
You're better off, and the chances are better that green
Bay would have a ninety seven degree day in December.
Then Micah Parsons getting that mega contract is to break
the bank with the packers. So this is a classic case.
It's Jimmy John's free smells. You walk by, you smell

(08:32):
the bread. Yeah, and there's no sandwich to chew on.
It's all sizzle, no steak, all that stuff. It's the
secret menu item, the smoke sandwich. You know what, the
smoke sandwiches. It's a couple of pieces of bread and
you wish there was some meat in there somewhere else.
But now, as for the squabbling with Jerry Jones, this
is what I'm in for.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
I'm in for this. I signed up for this. We've
got both factions, both camps.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
They're shadow boxing, they're leaking thing strategically, they're playing tug.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Of war with the narrative.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
And then I'm just sitting in here and like I'm
watching a tennis match or a ping pong match and
a ping pong match, and they're.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Going back and forth. They're just going back and forth.
Now page two. So now the subplot has twisted a
little bit.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
That Let's get to the alleged airport sighting. So some
social media Sherlock claimed that they were just happened to
be at the airport and they said, I saw Michael
Parsons and he seemed to be in a rush at
the Dallas Fort Worth airport there and was this something
or was this nothing? So It is a reminder if

(09:39):
you're a public figure. Fortunately, I'm not a public figure.
I do overnight talk radio. I'm not a public figure.
But if you are a public figure, we are living
in the surveillance selfie society. If you didn't already know that,
I remember a couple of years back when Lebron James
set the scoring record in the NBA pass Kareem abdul
Jabbar by guess it last year he said the whenever

(10:00):
was he set the scoring record? And there was that
still photography, that photograph behind the basket looking at down
the court and here's one of the You know, I'm
not a big Lebron fan, but it's one of the
great moments in basketball.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
The all time leading score Lebron James. And what do
you see?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
You see ten thousand people all standing up doing the
statue of liberty. They're holding we grab my my phone
is I'll grab my I'm gonna pay so I'll do
the statue of this. So they grab it phone and
they're like this. They're not even watching it. They're just
holding their phone up and they're and they're trying to
record it with their phone.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's the surveillance selfie society.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
The smartphone is not really a communications device as much
as it is a rumor.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Rocket launcher, is what it is.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Right, every fan is a pocket paparazzo, and the Internet
sluice are.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
In the air everywhere, literally in the airrea. So what gives?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
So the company line, this was leaked to state sponsored NFL.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Media, so take it for what it's worth.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
They say that Michael Parsons was at the airport rushing.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
To get an MRI on his ailing back I'm my
aching back or plot twist.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Maybe he was racing to get on the plane to
go to Cabo to have some cocktails and taketos before
Happy Hour. Either way, we've certainly got more questions than answers,
and so there's that. Now, I will tell you what
will fix Michaeh Parson's back. Now, I am not a doctor,
but I can't play one on overnight radio. I will

(11:35):
guarantee if you want to fix Michaeh Parson's back, you
give him the contract his heart desires, and suddenly that
back pain will vanish abra cadabra, hokus pocus. He'll be
out there running around like he's twenty years old again,
boom all over the place.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
All right.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
So, as far as the other side of this Michael
Parsons trade chatter mentioned right now, it's a phantom menace.
I don't know if I use that term, but it's
a phantom menace. And so there is no there there.
It's not Jerry Jones' normal activity to trade a player,
but the tensions did get ratcheted up courtesy of a player.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Entering the chat.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Now, this is not Jerry Jones, it is not Michael Parsons.
It's Terrence Parsons Junior. Do you know that name? Does
that name? That name does not ring a bell? You
do not know the Parsons family tree, bad job by you.
Kind of fraud of you. You don't know the siblings
of Michael Parsons.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
You're a fraud.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
So Terrence Parsons Junior, we are told that is the
brother of the Dallas Cowboys defensive player, and he has
now entered the chat, posting on social media quote, it's
gonna get ugly.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Put your gloves on. This is going twelve rounds. Can
you explain what that means? So this is brotherly bluster?
Is what? This is?

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Not brotherly love? It's brotherly bluster. Does Terrence Parsons Junior
have a life? Does he have a job?

Speaker 1 (13:12):
I have two.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
I have an older brother and I have a younger brother.
I have never posted anything on social media about their
jobs ever, nor have they posted anything about my job.
I live my own life. They live their life. I
can't imagine having meddling siblings. What a nightmare. Dude, live
your own life. Don't live through your brother because he
happens to play for the Dallas Cowboys. That's embarrassing anyway.

(13:37):
Michael Parson's brother is the self appointed apparently hype man,
the cornerman, the social media sparring coach.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
All of that, and he just rang the bell ding
ding ding ding ding for the next round of this
heavyweight heavyweight match up between family loyalty on one side
of the ring and then on the other side of
the ring. Franchised Dallas politics.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
So the brother Terrence, Michael Parson's brother Terrence, isn't just
forecasting turbulence.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
He's announcing a pay per view war of attrition. Oh
the drama, the emotion. Every single social media post is
a jab. It's a every.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Rumor, body blow, body blow, body blow, and every moment
of silence from Jerry Jones.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
You know what that is? Rope a dope. That's the
rope of dope. Shout out to Muhammad Ali.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
If Dallas wants to punish Michael Parsons, if they really
want to punish him, then Jerry Jones would have to
trade him to the Sonoran Desert. That would be the
cardinal sin. Just trade him to the Cardinals. See you later.
You're not really in the NFL when you're with the
Arizona Cardinals. You got that little Alligator Arms video game

(14:58):
playing quarterback out there.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
One cares about your good luck? All right now?

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Last word to San Francisco we Go, where a general
manager confirmed that one of his key players would like out.
That would be John Lynch. John Lynch, the forty nine
Ers GM who said that wide receiver Juwan Jennings did
did request a trade.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Earlier this offseason.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
However, that a trade will not will not be happening
according to the Niners executive.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Your thoughts on this one, so the way I read
the room on this particular story, John Lynch, the GM there,
I used to work for his dad. His dad was
a radio executive in San Diego back in the day anyway,
John Lynch stuck the post it note right there on
the Niners fridge and it says, we acknowledge your feelings,

(15:54):
but we're not doing Jack squat about it.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
And he put that right there, that old post we'll
post it note right there, put that on the fridge.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Now, this is the.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
NFL equivalent of locking your kid in his bedroom or
her bedroom and telling them you're not leaving the house
until you.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Eat the broccoli. But I don't want broccoli. You gotta
eat the broccoli, but I don't really want it. I
don't care.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
You've got to eat it. You can't leave your room, Well, okay,
I'll stay in my room. I'll just play on my phone,
play video game all I'm gonna take your phone.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Well, no, you can't do that. That's a war crime,
all right, it's front office hardball.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Now, Juwan Jennings thinks he's more valuable than the contract
that he's signed, which is probably true based on the
modern economics of the NFL. Regardless of that, let's not
pretend that this.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Is Jerry Rice or t O. This is Juwan Jennings.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
He is the extra tire rack tire in the trunk
now we love tire Rack. They're a fine sponsor and
all that stuff. I'm talking about the spare tire. I'm
not talking about the four on the car. I'm talking
about the spare tire that will get you down the
road when you're in trouble.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Is it useful, Yes, it is useful. Absolutely. Do you
ever brag about your spait tire? No, you don't. You
don't brag about that. You don't walk into a bar.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
On a Friday night and say, man, you boys should
see my spirit tire. Unless you happen to have it
around your gut, then everyone can see your spirit tire.
But I'm talking about the one on the car. I'm
not talking about the hollering James Spait tire. I'm talking
about the one on the car. Would be what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Anyway, It is the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
And if you want to comment on any of the
things we just talked about, anything we should have talked about,
anything that we may talk about later.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Will open up the phone. Ands again, you do not
have to wait for newby Night.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
We love the vibe. The new callers were great. We'd
love more new callers be part of the show. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. Although I did get an
email from Blind Scott saying he was very happy. He
said newby Night sucked and that he's happy about that
and because there's no pressure. And I was thinking, as
a reading this, I say, I mean, you must not
have been listening, because what I heard was pretty good

(18:04):
and it was critically acclaimed. People thought it was was
pretty neat.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Anyway, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven

I thought newby Night was number one radio content. I

But just know me too will defend the Malor show.

Speaker 8 (22:41):
Well, well that's the delay you expect, Ben, Yeah, we
are on a delay, much like when Janet Jackson showed
her boobies years ago in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
We had Yeah, that was a big delay and just
in time. Davis is the perfect person to hide.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Behind social media.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
He's got some weird app Vatar and a fake name
that's perfect. King Roy says if Michael Parsons becomes a
green Bay Packer, it won't happen until after Week four
of the NFL season because Dallas hosts Green Bay and
Jerry doesn't want to get embarrassed by Parsons.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
But Jerry's also a promoter and he knows Jerry Jones.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
That if Parsons goes to green Bay and they play Dallas,
that's a great night of ratings for the NFL. That's
a big time night of ratings in the NFL for sure.
Nature Boy says, I kind.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Of like newbie nights.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Alami to Lou. At some point we're gonna hang out
with alam to Lou. We're gonna go to his bar

cars will be broken into, but we'll enjoy the night
with alam To Lou and have a fine time with
all our friends in the Bay Area in Oakland there now,
Lou says, have you ever forced vegetables on someone? Oh,
God know, Lou, I have not. Although my mom, may

(23:56):
she rest in peace, she did forced me to eat
my peace and we had many If I love my mom,
I was a mama's boy, but my mom could not
have been more wrong about that, trying to force me.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
To eat vegetables. They had a lot of seafood, and
now as an adult, I don't eat vegetables or seafood.
I'm on an anti seafood, anti vegetable diet. Marked the
full name. Guy from somewhere in Oregon says, you got
that right, and amazing Rogers even won a Super Bowl
all the way at all the way Green Bay Packers

(24:29):

Speaker 7 (26:45):
Of the hot dog capital.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
There are more diners in New Jersey in the morning,
there are more.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Let me tell you there are there are more, many
more diners in Jersey than anywhere else per cap. They
just are Anyways, the benmos Let's go to any meaning mind.
Let's go to Steve in Manhattan. We go from Jersey
up to Manhattan. What's going on Steve in Manhattan? Go Buchanan,
Go Buchanan, Go Buchan and go Buchanan.

Speaker 9 (27:14):
Man. I can hear you do that all night long? Listen.
I dare anybody right now to go around the dial,
go to the satellite and try to find something better
than this. You're gonna come right back to Ben distinguished
panel expanse. Yeah, welcome to he Haw. Now Oakland you
go to go to they surrendered? Oh, Oakland was surrendered
years ago. If they won those three championships, it was

(27:37):
all downhill after that in the seventies. Now, I don't
know why you want to go. You gotta be crazy
to go. You have first gotta have Trump sending the
National Guard before you go there, or drop one hundred
and first airborn in there. Now, I'm not kidding either.
I mean, you guys just trugg.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
You're you're you're embellrassing a little bit. I mean, you know,
it's uh.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
I think we'll be fine if we go during the
day and we have a police s I think we'll
be fine.

Speaker 9 (28:01):
The baseball team, matter of vack where they're playing like
in a little league du stadium right now, come on, man,
you guys.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
They lost.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
They lost every they lost every single professional sports team,
right the Raiders left, the Warriors left, the A's left.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
They're all gone. Everyone's gone. There's no one left professional
sports wise in Oakland. They're all they're all gone. Craziness.

Speaker 9 (28:20):
But the Raiders did come back and then they ran again.
I mean, what are you gonna do. They're gonna build
them a big stadium and they got to bring out
what do you do.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
All you need to know is Steve.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
All you need to know about Oakland is in the
history of In and Out Burger, which is this amazingly
successful fast food place that started on the West coast.
They have only closed one store in the history.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Every store they.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Opened still open. Only one they closed, and that was
in Oakland. The only one they closed Inkland because there
was so much crime there so that the lunatics were
running running around, they had to close it.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
So it's wild.

Speaker 9 (28:56):
I mean years ago, there had some high school baseball team.
It wasn't Frank Robbins in Vada Pinson and there was
some other guy.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Well, now you're deading yourself, Steven Manna, and so this
is your call.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Then you're gonna vanish for another three months and then
you'll call up again. Correct.

Speaker 9 (29:10):
I listen, listen. I like the show. I can't call it.
No listen. I'm gonna tell the people out there you
got to listen to Ben Malley show. Because there's only
two shows I can call and tell the screen it
is Steve from Manhattan, It's Ben Mallet and how we
call up in Boston talk about another mess up there
in Massachusetts. But those are the only two shows I
could actually call in and say it's Steve from Mahatna

(29:31):
without everybody jumping out the window.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
And uh hold on, say doesn't that doesn't that make me?
And how we car look bad that we put you
on no matter what? And these other shows have banned you.
You have been outlawed. You're like a radio outlaw, Steven Manhattan.

Speaker 9 (29:46):
No, no, no, you guys become folk heroes because of that.
I'm telling you, you guys are folk heroes because a
lot of people out there, a lot of people out
there that love these calls. They love me talking sports,
and they're pissed thought that I can't get on some
of these shows that you have. Some of these chickenheads
calling in, will make no sense, have no personality, and

(30:07):
they get big air time. And then the host starts
interviewing the chickenhead calling in. It's horrible radio, it's not airworthy.
So that's not tell people really.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Okay, wait, fine, what do you want me to say
to that? What else you got? Come on, what do
you bring it?

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Bring it? Bring it all?

Speaker 9 (30:25):
Right? Here we come to New York Yankees out o sap.
You guys are walking around like peacocks because you beat
us in the World Series.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
Lation.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Listen, no, no, no, no, that's not Steven Manhattan.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
That is not The Dodgers did not beat the Yankees.
The Yankees beat themselves with one of the great defensive
performances in World Series history, Aaron Judge misplaying a ball
in the outfield, Anthony Volpi with a shortstop error at shortstop,
misplayed the ball. And how about the great hustle play
by the highest paid pitcher in baseball history, Garrit Cole

(30:58):
failing to cover first place first base. All that happened
in the fifth inning of Game five of the World
Series in the Bronx one of the great defensive performances
in my lifetime. Tip of the cap to the New
York Yankees. That's Yankee baseball.

Speaker 9 (31:12):
Baby Judge took his eye off the ball. To me,
it looked like Hope spiked the baseball when he tried
to throw at the third base. But get throw full
to the Dodger runners, they were more aggressive. The Yankees
were sleepball. Right, But that player, he's blaming Cole to
that player. But I say it was Anthony Rizzo didn't
charge that ball. I played some first base in some
centate field.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
That's a bad.

Speaker 9 (31:39):
Chasing the runner with the baseball, all.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Right, Rizzo is he is as fast as a koala bear.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Anthony Rizzo.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Okay, So you know, if you're the pitcher, you gotta
know just if pitching one on one, you gotta cover
first base.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
There was no effort. It was a lack of effort
by Gartt Cole. Bottom line, black effort.

Speaker 9 (31:56):
Well, Cole was watching the play. You know, get that
guy a hotey in a program anytime a major league
player is supposed to be involved in the play and
they're standing there watching it. They should have someone walk
out there and give the guy a hot old in
a program the Yankees were discussing. But people, you don't remember,
I called your show after every World Series game that
was on during the week when you were on.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
I remember, so I remember, I remember.

Speaker 9 (32:18):
And the people going crazy with that, and you let
me take vocals. That's why I want the people in
this audience to tell at least one hundred people that
your show is on and they should listen to.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
It like I do.

Speaker 9 (32:28):
I have a lot of my friends listening to your show.
You have no idea who you walk now, guys a
favorite guys in Babrige, brooklet listening.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
That's wonderful. Everyone should listen. My god, everyone in Brooklyn.
We have Marcel and Brooklyn. We should have every person
in Brooklyn. All Right, I gotta go, But thank you,
Steve the great Steven Manhattan there checking in and mark
the full name guy says, you can tell Steven Manhattan
the Reds third outfield third outfielder was Frank Robinson, right fielder.
Now we're doing old Now we're doing old guy. Radio,

(32:59):
Mark the full name guy is getting us full old
guy radio. He says Frank Robinson was in right field
of Veda Pinson the centerfield, Tommy Harper left field and
still lost.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
To the Yankees in nineteen sixty one.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Terry in England points out we are doing morning drive
in England and Mark in Queens slash Arlington, Texas says,
I hate vegetables.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
All vegetables too.

Speaker 7 (33:25):
Wow, not even Brussels sprouts.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Those are disgusting.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Now, technically I don't hate all vegetables. I believe garlic
is part of the vegetable fans.

Speaker 7 (33:36):
Of vegetables from your ben.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Is garlic part of the vegetable family? Okay, so there
you go. I eat a lot of vegetables. Number I
eat a lot of gar onions. Is onion a vegetable.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Vegetables? I would say onion.

Speaker 7 (33:53):
I mean they're both technically vegetables, but I'd say onions
count more than garlic.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Why would garlic not?

Speaker 7 (33:58):
Is garlic a fruit? Because no, it's technically a vegetable,
but it's a it's a flavor enhancer. Like you don't
just you don't just a seasoning. Eat a chunk of garlic.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, you can't.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
To me, the whole the holy Trinity of vegetables for
me is and all you to pizza with onion, garlic
and belt.

Speaker 8 (34:15):
Oh yeah, I like roasted garlic.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
And garlic is the I would say it's the most important.
You have roasted garlics to where you go, and it's
easy to roast gard but it's the most important.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Vegetable of all. If you go back and I've studied
this all right, if you go back to the ancient times,
he's a doctor with garlic. I'm not a doctor.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
But if people make a big deal because vampires and garlic, this,
oh my god, garlic could cure vampire. Isn't but but
garlic in the old country, it was like one of
the original medicines, like seriously, like early you know, humanity
and all that stuff. The garlic was a massive thing.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
It was huge. People used garlic to treat all kinds
of illnesses. They thought it had amazing you know, healing
powers and all. And I believe it does. I believe
it does.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
And occasion you'll keep the vampires away and all that stuff,
and that's great. But it was nature's antibiotic. They called
it nature's antibiotic garlic in the early days, and it
gave strength. In fact, you think of the the history
of the Olympics, the Greek athletes back in the day
and the Warriors, not the Golden State Warriors, but the
warriors back in the day.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Garlic.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
They gave garlic to these people because they they thought it.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Was It was amazing. There you go. Of course, everyone
that ate garlic in those days is dead, but that's fine. Anyway.
It is the Ben Mallor show. I know, well, you know,
what are you gonna do?
