Speaker 1 (00:01):
We go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, It's our number on hour one, the Original Recipe Podcast.
We thank you for supporting the show. We love you.
That's July thirtieth, Yes, very exciting, the day before baseball's
trade deadline, the day before the start of NFL exhibition football,
and we begin with the Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons
(00:22):
said to be further away from a deal with the
Cowboys Jerry Jones now than in late March. Give me
your reaction. Also, Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh says that running
back Najee Harris, the guy that was playing with fireworks
and messed up his eye, still does not have a
timeline for returning to practice. Your thoughts on that. Cardinals
(00:43):
quarterback Kyler Alligator Arms Murray says his knee is as
close as it's going to get to being full strength
after he shredded his ACL. Is this a big deal,
a little deal or no deal? Talk about all that
and more right now now here. It is our number one,
(01:05):
Just another day at the rodeo. Welcome in the beginning
of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
We are in the air everywhere eyeball to eyeball, as
we are swinging and bringing coast to coast.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Border to border and beyond on the vast and emphatically
powerful microphones of fsre ammundating live live from the classroom.
As we are always learning new things. I was learning
about Tsunamis earlier from the Fox Sports Radio studios as
approved by the Green Bay Gobbler doesn't have to worry about that,
(01:48):
of course, not really worried either. And this portion of
the Ben Malor Show made possible in part by our
friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
(02:10):
mobile tire installation. That's the thumbs up over there you
see in the background from alf and Fergnog tire rack
dot com the way tire binds should be. So our
lead this hour is yet again from a contract stalemate
in Auxnard, California's The Obligatory Mallard Monologue about the tense
(02:32):
negotiation between Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons. More chatter from
Jerry's world. So if you've not heard the latest, maybe not.
We're hearing things are going the wrong direction. The plot
thickens now, the gap is widening. Gotta watched the gap.
Also the spawn of Jerry, that would be Stephen Jones,
(02:56):
keeping up with the Joneses. So Stephen Jones, he's the
guy that won the Genek lottery and was born into
great wealth and has not had to earn any job.
He's gotten because he has the right last name and
the right DNA, much like Bronnie James. So Stephen Jones
claims the Cowboys the NEPO baby. Stephen Jones claims the
Cowboys don't drag their feet on contract negotiations as he snickered.
(03:22):
So let us discuss the question for the esteem panels.
So edge rusher Micah Parson said to me, further away
from a deal, further away from a deal with the
Cowboys today, further away from a deal with the Cowboys
right now. Then he was back in late March, So
(03:43):
give me your reaction. So I've got Frankenstein, Austin powers
and underlying issue, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to say Cowabunga, dude,
all right, when you're riding the tsunami, you gotta say calabungado.
So my reaction, A my reaction is, you know what
(04:07):
this is. This is old man engagement farming. That's it.
That's my hypothesis. It's old man engagement farming. This is
a billionaire owner who's been around since the nineteen eighties
as an NFL owner. He's not doing the TikTok. He
doesn't know TikTok from a toaster. Jerry Jones. He doesn't
(04:30):
use Instagram, and he's too old even for Facebook. You're
not on there. He doesn't give a damn about X.
He's still reading those old newspapers and he's using a
flip phone and all that, and that's how he lives
his life. But he does know how to stir the pot.
He loves to stir the pot right vague references and
(04:51):
press conferences, BS flowing a soliloquy of BS there, and
he knows how to keep people engaged and the attention
starved Dallas faithful, foaming at the mouth and reacting even
though Jerry's been doing this for two generations now, two generations,
(05:13):
and people still react. It's wild. Now, Why is that?
Because Jerry Jones, after a minutes long mall or investigation.
We determine Jerry Jones does not run the Cowboys like
a football team. He runs it like he's doing a
Vegas residency. He might as well be carat top. But
in this case, Jerry is Frankenstein when it comes to owners.
(05:36):
He's equal parts P. T. Barnum and Vince McMahon. If
you combine them together. They had a baby, which is
very odd because Jerry's older than them, but still just
go with it. Well, not P. T. Barnum but Vince McMahon.
So Jerry wakes up I'm convinced in very expensive sheets
every morning, and he asks himself, how can I Jerry
(05:59):
Jones hijack the NFL news cycle today? What can I
Jerry Jones do to get everyone running around? And so
today's story is further away from a deal than back
in March. Now, Police, that is not a negotiation problem.
That is a script line. Is what that is. That's
(06:20):
in the script is what it is. And Jerry's sitting
in his yacht somewhere off the coast auction gard there,
and he's got his bottle of Johnny Walker blue and
he's whispering sweet nothings into the night. Right now, and saying,
you know, y'all, uh well, really fire up the social
media there. I'm gonna fire him up right now, here's
(06:40):
what I'm gonna do. You just wait and see. He's
not worried. Even Michael Parsons said I'm never playing again
and retiring, Jerry wouldn't be concerned. And we know that
these negotiations, whether it's the Cowboys or everybody else, it
doesn't get serious until there's a countdown clock t because
what happens tick tick tick eventually boom. Right, gotta see
(07:04):
all the cowboy fanboys in the media, the people that
freak out Steven A. Smith, those those guys having veins
bursting from their neck. And that's when Jerry's happy. And
so Jerry didn't forget to pay anybody. And as far
as the calari the Salary cap space or Calgary Space,
the Salary cap space, you know, it's about staying relevant.
(07:27):
That's really what this is about. And Jerry Jones knows
the only thing worse than bad press is no press
and no internet coverage and all that stuff. And secondly,
the Cowboy fans right stop chanting pay Micah. Jerry's got
them to chant that louder there the second though, they
(07:47):
stopped calling into sports radio and posting things online, and Jerry,
you go on the YouTube there and then the moment
that you don't see Jerry Jones boattox face on the YouTube,
you know that that's when he panics. That's when the
panic sets and he's oh man, oh whoa. In the meantime,
(08:07):
he's just tossing logs on the fire. You know, you
got to keep the logs on the fire and keep
the fire burning. And that's what you do. And you
know some of you don't like it, and you send me,
what do you always talk about the Cowboys? I don't know,
because people seem to engage it. We have the data.
If you stop listening when I talk about the Cowboys,
you stop downloading the podcast and listening to the streams
on iHeart and all that. I'll move on. But it's
(08:30):
a good format. So Jerry's directing the choreography on the
drama O Rama. The script does not end until Jerry
Jones says cut. And I maintain my long standing position
that all of this will come down to right before
the kickoff of the NFL season, and on those NFL
pregame shows, which are archaic at this point with the
(08:53):
age of the Internet. It's just a chuckle fest. It's
like going to the improv no less, and I love
going to the improv, don't get me wrong. I just
don't need to see a munch of ex jocks in
their sixties chanting and laughing on television anyway. Nonetheless, they'll
get done at the very last second. Jay Glazer just didn't.
There's a deal done, all right now. Meanwhile, we go
to Los Angeles. Follow up, follow up alert, follow up alert.
(09:17):
You might remember in a previous episode of the show,
we told you about a fireworks extravaganza that went back. Well,
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh has given us a status update
on the running back who did not play with safe
insane fireworks. Well, it's not good running back, Naji Harris.
(09:38):
Naji Harris of the Chargers. Now, I used to be
with the Steelers running back Naji Harris. He's got a
really messed up by like some of the stuff I've heard,
if it's true, really bad. He still does not have
a timeline, Naji Harris on when he will actually practice.
(09:59):
Not not a guy we talked about practice, So he
hadn't practiced yet cuz you can't see. And it's not
blind football. I bet your Stevie Meatballs could run the football,
or blind Scott or blind Emmitt the Seahawks fan, or
Inka Terror. The Chargers want a running back, they can
bring those guys in. All right, So what are your
thoughts on this development? Jim Harbaugh saying that Najehi still
(10:23):
does not have any timeline to practice. All right. So
first off, this is exactly why you should have listened
to our public service announcement. Never ever trust anything agents say,
or for that matter, coaches. We know not to trust politicians,
but this, this is different. This is sports. So Frostburg,
(10:47):
who works on the Jason Smith Show with the Great
Mike Harmon Harmon in here in the big chair, and
I saw Frosburg in the hallway. He's like, I'm going
off to Canton because he travels with the Chargers and
they're gonna be playing in the Hall of Fame game,
and so that game's coming up on Thursday. So it's
we're just like, I believe it's on Thursday. So it's
(11:08):
a couple of days away the Hall of Fame game,
I believe. Uh, And anyway, So they're going there and uh,
and so they're about to begin exhibition games the Chargers
and Najie Harris hasn't practiced yet, right, but these ages
I got, they'll tell you all that my guy runs
a four three forty. Yeah, and he can actually levitate
like in the Bible. Uh yeah, and he can turn
(11:29):
water to wine. You can do all those things, yeah, absolutely, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
And then in this case, well it's just you know
a little scratch or anything like the minor incident. Yeah,
just like a little flick or fleck of debris that
got in the eye. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Then if that's the case, why is Jim Harball of
all people not exactly mister transparency if you follow him
with the Niners in Michigan over the years, telling reporters
there is still no timeline. There is no timeline. Now,
if a player misses this much time, there's a good
amount of time. Can we still say it's a superficial injury?
(12:09):
Because that's what they said, right, It ain't superficient. Obviously,
it's not superficial. You don't have to be a doctor
to know it's not superficial. You don't miss multiple weeks
of training camp, unless your eyeball or in this case
Naji Harris eyeball most likely looks like he lost a
(12:30):
street fight to a bottle rocket at this particular point. Unfortunately,
and let's not ignore the larger picture here, because we
take a couple steps back, Nase is already on thin ice.
He didn't get a long term contract with the Chargers.
He did not. He was underwhelming, certainly underwhelming with the Steelers.
(12:50):
That the tenure there was not good. So change the scenery, guy,
fresh start. And if you look at his body of work,
Najie Harris, you watch the e clips of what kind
of runner is he? So if you like the three
yard dive play checks that box force touches, just awkward,
(13:10):
no separation, no long runs, that's your guy. So now
he's in LA with the Chargers. It's probably his last
best opportunity to be a running back one. If he
screws this up, you can get another job somewhere. It's
not going to really be legit like a legit opportunity.
And so now if this is accurate, that the the
(13:32):
eye is completely messed up. And so now he's like
one of doctor Evils henchmen. I think it was number
two from the Austin Powers trilogy there, and he's gonna
have to wear an eyepatch or something like that, And
which is I guess the case. This is going the
way it's going, it sounds that way is really mis
messed up. Either way, even if he comes back in plays.
(13:54):
This is going to be a public service announcement right
around the fourth or July from NFL Productions NFL Films. Hi,
my name is Andre Harris. You might remember me. I
used to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers and they went
out to the Chargers there and I blew my eye out.
My career with the Chargers literally ended by playing with fireworks.
(14:16):
Don't be like me. The PSA right light sparkler safe, insane.
Do not light your retina on fire. Do not light
your retina. I know, I hopefully NA. She's all right.
It does not sound like it's going very well. And
lesson I learned working in radio is that we're all replaceable,
(14:37):
very replaceable. So it's certainly running backs in football are
easily replaced. Right now. Last word to the Valley of
the Sun, a long standing nemesis. We have been victorious
in our battle with alligator arms Murray. The quarterback there,
the pint size quarterback of the fledgling Arizona football team. So,
(14:57):
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray announced recently that his knee is
as close as it's going to get to full strength.
His little knee there. He had acl surgery. He's recovered
from that. So is this a big deal, a little deal,
or you know, no deal? All right, So you're probably thinking,
(15:20):
I'm gonna say it's a little deal because he's a
little quarterback. I'm not gonna say that. That's too easy,
that's too easy. I'm gonna go on my scorecard. I
wrote down a meh deal because Kyler Murray is a
meh quarterback. That's the kind of quarterback games. Good old
alligator arms Murray, Good old alligator arms Murray. Right, and listen,
(15:40):
we know training camp is not like real football. It's
gone softer and softer and softer over the years, so
it's not real. It's not real football. You know, nobody's
trying to rip your head off. And if you're playing
quarterback like Kyler Murray, you don't have to worry about
looking down at Jared Verse of the Rams trying to
rip your head down, off and jump jump down your throat.
(16:03):
So it's essentially summer school in pads. That's what this is.
And so let's see how the knee holds up the
little knee and when the real Wolves are out there
in week one of the regular season in September. Now,
the underlying issue here, the underlying issue is not the ACL.
It's the a cl What a crumbling legacy, that's the ACL.
(16:26):
A crumbling legacy for Kyler Murray. Now we have been
on top of this story for some time. Right, we've
seen this. Now you got paid, so good for him.
He got the money. But in terms of just pure football,
Kyler Murray every year, I'll tell you he comes out
every year like a bottle rocket. Right. I I don't
(16:47):
want to if nag he's upsetting listening. I don't want
to upset. But he comes out like a Kyler Murray,
like a bottle rocket. And then what happens. He fizzles out.
He fizzles out. He's not Mighty Mouse, he's not Mighty mount.
He's just a mouse. That's it. He's a little pint sized,
jittery shoulder pad wearing, video game obsessed rodent. That's what
(17:10):
he is right there, right and in the alligator arms.
You look at his career arc at this point, and
the same thing. He'll come out in November like game Busters,
or in September and October like game Busters. Then we
get to it about November. Sometime in November, usually about
mid November, that could fall, weather settles in and all
(17:32):
that stuff. And at that point, at that point, Kyler
needs a juice box and a nap. Somebody get him
a juice box. Can we hook him up? We don't
have any all right, fortunate listen, Arizona, they're idiots. They
gave this guy a quarter of a billion dollars. Nobody
told him to do that, they did, so hey, enjoy this.
(17:52):
They immediately had buyer's remorse when they signed him to
the contract. They immediately wanted to go a different direction.
And so they have a quarterback who cannot handle the riggers.
Much like the scouting report before he came into the NFL,
not going to be able to put up with the
violence of the NFL over a full season. And that
has been proven correct, right, so, and also it's not great.
(18:15):
The locker room doesn't believe in him. They know what
they got middling results from Alligator arms Murray, right, and
you know, tell me that's my franchise quarterback, not my
franchise quarterback. So the only franchise that Kyler Murray at
this point after years in the NFL, the only franchise
I believe he could carry is a Chick fil A. Now,
(18:37):
the reason I believe that he could carry a Chick
fil A is because they're not open on Sunday, So
I think he'd be in good ship. All Right. It
is the It's too easy, It is the Ben Mallor Show.
If you want to comment on any of that, open
lines Release the Hounds at eight seven, seven ninety nine

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Bill Miller and you it is the Band Mather Show.
We thank you for joining us. The Red Eye Flight
has taken off. We're here all night long into the
wee hours of the morning, whatever that means. In fact,
we're gonna be here so long. By the time we
get done, people will be getting up to go to
work trying to beat the traffic. That's how long we're
gonna be here. It's a long time. There's people sleeping
(21:50):
right now. They have no idea we're here, we're talking.
They're sleeping. They're snoozy, and they're gonna get off, and
then they're gonna get dressed and they gonna take hopefully
they take showers before they get dressed. We're gonna brush
their teeth, and then you're gonna get cars and drive
to work. We'll still be here. It's amazing. Anyway, you
can enact with the show if you want send an
advantage working the third shift. Say hello on X at
(22:14):
Ben Mahler and say hello to Lorena walked in with
a pie. That's FSR Tech Queen and Kupe loop at
a Bronco van. Or you can call in. Just call
in if you want. I know you can do that too. Yes,
(22:34):
and the number eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
and back to it. We go all right, back to it,
and we'll get to that zero worry story coming up
in a little bit. Zero worry, that's right, nothing to
worry about at all, zero zero worry. Absolutely absolutely. Ferg
(22:57):
Dog says, do not look now, Ben, but the angel
are back to being only two games under five hundred.
Ask any team in the American League who they don't
want to face in the playoffs, and they'll say the Angels. Wow,
we're coming. Of course, the reason they don't want to
face the Angels because the Angels aren't in the playoffs.
So that's why if they're in the outfield, Ben, Yes,
that's right, yes, right there in the outfield. There some
(23:23):
fishy about that group that wears the halo is in
the outfield there. I don't know, there's something odd about that.
I'm not sure what it is. Anyway, Late night Drug
Tester says, I like the analogy of Kyler Murray going
flat by mid season. But little guys like Dad shouldn't
play with matches, let alone fireworks. Maybe he goes flat
(23:43):
like a soda pop, which he can have as long
as he brushes his teeth. So, courtesy of the Late
Night Drug Tester, barbecuing Len, he gives a melancholy update
says with a heavy heart, our buddy barbecuing in reporting
in saying that he had to put the put to
(24:05):
peace his beloved ride or die dog. Yeah, Doug Prince
fifteen years Oh, I'm so sorry. Was a bummer. That's
one thing I didn't know as an adult. Like when
I was a kid, I thought, well, dogs just grow
old and die. Uh No, they grow old, their bodies
fall apart, and then you, as the grown up, have
(24:26):
to take them to the to the grim reaper because
usually their bodies don't last as long as their lives do.
It's pretty pretty messed up.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Man.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well that sucks. I knew that would. Like Bella, my
dog bell I had a similar situation. Bella got attacked
by a coyote and survived. Yeah, yeah, all bloody got
Bella fixed and you know, recovered from the injury, and
then of course didn't last much longer than that. But
there you go. There you go, Barbecuing in long time listen,
(24:59):
there you go, all right. Mark from Queens via Arlington says,
truly one of the most hilarious opening Mallard monologues ever.
Some of the word choices absolutely epic. Got uh there
you go, how you bury the cowgirls, Kardashians, lebron and
alligator arms. Murray, there you go. Enjoy it every night? Well,
thank you. Other people bitch about it every night, so
I'm glad that you enjoy it. Mark. There are people
(25:21):
suck complaining. They don't want us to do broadcasting. They
want us to do narrow casting. I say, can you
do some narrow casting? Please? Good spox Weed, you know
it's a big night of spocks. Weed is listing from
the Oregon Trail. He says, Ben, the barbs and slights
you've thrown at Jerry Jones are quite numerous and delicious.
(25:42):
Us shot in Freuda eaters are quite happy nine out
of ten on the Malard monologue, only because I could
have eaten more. Yell more, more and more and more
and more and more and more and more and more.
There you go. Let's see what else do we have here?
Supermarket Steve's make king some kind of religious comment he's
(26:03):
I think he's on the spectrum. I think Supermarcus Steve's
on the spectrum. Some of the stuff he sends in.
Brock writes and says, I'm trying to be optimistic about
the twenty twenty five Dallas Cowboys going to climb back
aboard drive the bandwagon. But in the first few camp
days we've lost, at least for a few regular season games,
two O line starters Geiton and Rod Jones. I saw that.
(26:27):
I guess Guiden is going to be back, but he's
gonna be out for like a month and a temporary
starter at cornerback and somewhere. So he's going he's going,
oh no, yeah, Well that's what happens the training. Can
you get hurt? That's how goes super Marcus Steve says,
I was unprepared for the Cowboy Jerry Jones monologue because
you refuse to post a rundown tonight, is what he says.
(26:51):
All right, I guess you might want to click refresh
your big dummy. It's right there, you moron. I mean,
what do I have to come show? You have to
let me take your phone. I'll show you with a
rundown as right at the top, right there. It says,
right there, what's on the shout? What's wrong with you? Loser?
Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
(27:13):
Too late. All right, we'll take some calls It is
a call in show at eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. Will start out see here Andrew, Andrew is
in beautiful Baker's Field there where it's one hundred and
seventy during the summer.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Hello Andrew, Freddy Freddy Show. Hey David Beth, say, let's
go Dodgers. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah? I think that Tyler Glass now move is really
working out well for the Dodgers. He's been very smooth there.
What a great addition he's been and another outstanding performance
by Glass. Now, what's not to like? You ready for
the playoffs?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yes, he wasn't horrible. Ye, he's stuck in there.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Do you actually watch it? Well, you don't watch the game.
You're blind, so I can't. I mean, I can't say
you watch the game. You don't watch the games?
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Right, Yeah, I listened to Rick.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Mo Monday, The Great mo Monday.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Tim Neverritt, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's Tim Neverritt. Actually, you know he lives in New Hampshire,
Tim Never you know I know that. Yeah, he used
to do the Red Sox games. Yeah, listen to Hampshire.
He calls Dodgers. That is a that's right. That is
a fun fact. And so you don't think Tyler glass
now was wrong or was bad in his performance. You know,
you thought he thought he sucked, but you think he
(28:27):
was all right. You think he was okay. So you
think better. You think he was better than he thinks
he was. So you think the fact that he allowed
four runs in four innings and was given a lead
early in the game and could not find the strike zone.
I think he he only had. I saw the stat
of like forty six of the eighty four pitches went
(28:48):
for strikes. But you think that's good. Do you work
for the Dodgers. By the way, you sound like ves? No,
I don't you know what, because he sounded like you
sound like a houseman for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
What you sound like, Well, I'm a big fan, so
I'll well.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Can't you a real fan? Is I don't know. I
guess my definition of fan is different because to me,
a real fan is critical. You're a kool Aid drinker.
You're more not just a fan, You're a kool Aid drink.
Like I'm like, well, I have high expectations, like the
Dodgers have a good record. I don't think they're very
good this year. Well, they have a good record. I
(29:23):
don't They're not to me very good. Even though they've
got a great record, I don't think they're that good.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Okay, I have a quick shout on nause Harris. I'm
wondering if superficial might mean that the skin is injured
around the eye, but the eyeball and the vision is
still there.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Possibly that's your medical diagnosis there.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
I'm just wondering because that they say superficial.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Or could it be they lied about that and that
it's actually really bad because the stories that were coming
out that weren't from some of that works for Najie
Harris was that he really messed up. He was at
a hospital. Yeah, I think it was at Stanford and
it was like really bad and they didn't know how
to handle it. And he's he went to two hospitals
because the first one didn't know how to handle.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
The eye and it was a he blew his eye out,
like completely no, you could be a pirate.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
They have like, well, yeah, you wear as I said,
the eye patch. You didn't get the eye patch out.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
You could do that from all right, I'm get in.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Oh thank god, yes, all right, go go look at
your dodger, fat head on the wall laship line, but
just a massage your bobble head doll and have a
fine times having grand old time there with your bobble
head doll. That is the way to go. That is
the way to go. All right, we are on X
at Ben mallor if you'd like to be part, that's
(30:41):
at Ben Mallard time now though for the tire Iraq
play Oh the Night, and we go now to Major
League Baseball's top team and Anne rue Vaughan the Brew
Crew take a listen.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
Please, sir, the legend of everyone keep scrolling on Grand Slam.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
You have got to be kiddy Lee. No, we're not kidding.
Number twenty eight in your program, but number one in
your heart, and move on the Grand Slam. And that
is the ti Iraq Play of the Night. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
fast end freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient
(31:32):
installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot Com,
the Wait Tire Buying Show be and the Milwaukee Brewers
The Brew Crew Wake Up the Echoes, The legend behind
the Pearly Gates, Bob Buker smiling down from the heavens
as the Brewers sit atop the major league standings sixty
(31:53):
four and forty three, twenty one games above five hundred.
That's a five ninety eight winning percentage for the Milwaukee
Brewers and they are the top team. The call on Brewers,
I believe that was Brewers Radio, but the call there
on Andrew Vaughan, who hit the Grand Slam, had six
runs batted in, and he was picked up from the
(32:14):
Chicago White Sox and hit that home run against the
Chicago Cubs, and he went to the minor leagues when
the Brewers got him, didn't go right to the major leagues.
But Vaughn now has twenty one RBIs since the Brewers
called him up for the Miners on July seventh. The
only here's the fun.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
If you want to fun fight, I got fun.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Fact, the only player in Major League Baseball with more
runs batted in during that stretch is Kyle Schwarber. Kyle
Schwarber of the Fighting Phills. So there, Andrew vaugh Wow.
It means we all know extreme outcomes are followed by
more mild outcomes, and so that will be a case
(32:54):
of see you later. He will regression to the mean,
regression to the mean. Paul and says, I'm a doctor.
That SoundBite always cracks me up. Oh you like that,
you enjoy that drop. I'm a doctor. That's a classic
from the late great Genie in Medford. Genie, well, the
all time greatest caller to sports radio since I've been here.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Anyway, you want to hang out with me, she's been
giving me that good stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Legend of Genie. She's immortal, she lives on. She's been
gone for years, but we still honor the legacy of
Genie and Medford with these dopey sound bites that we
got turned on in Scarin. Yeah, I know she had
quite the imagination. How much of that was true that
she would say? And one time she got into a
battle with this guy Pete and Pittsburgh was one of
(33:41):
Howard Stern's callers, and she started talking gangster on the air. Yeah,
like she was talking gangster. She says, she used to
live in LA and she lived in the wrong part
of LA and she talked gangster. Okay, thank you Genie. Okay, anyway,
it is the ban mallor show time now and then
we'll pay off the zero worry. We'll push that back.
But let's get on time. I'm on time, Mallard by
(34:03):

two stolen bases in the same game, since me, who

Let's go to David, who's in San Jose. He knows
the way to San Jose because he's there. Hello, David, Welcome.
Speaker 8 (39:58):
What's going on with going on? Man? I just want
to come out here and celebrate with you the eve
of the football season looking forward to us.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Can you smell that game? You smell that? That's grass,
fresh cut grass.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah, anything's better than what the stinkers smell in the
Bay Bay Area right now.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
But what the Warriors and the.
Speaker 8 (40:19):
Mass what's coming? The Giants can't seem to put it together.
We've already lost the Raiders in the A's.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah. This is not This is not the golden era
for Bay Area sports. This is not the biggest.
Speaker 8 (40:30):
The biggest headline of the night was the Valkyrie is
winning that game out there the thing, but it wasn't
even the big story was the sex toy that was
thrown in the game.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
The game.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, well, you know, things happened. Man, what are you
gonna do? It's like going to It's like going to
a Bills game, you know. Aything's the Valkyrie seemed.
Speaker 8 (40:47):
The Valkyries fan base seems to party harder than the
Golden State Warriors fan base. I'll say that right now.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Though, Yeah, well don't they. I guess that wouldn't set
off a metal detector unless it was h I mean
there's different on you guys have all right, Yeah, I
mean there's different layers to it. I guess I saw
this cool. You know what, Never mind, you're not because
you know whatever you say will be used against you
(41:12):
and will be immortalized by certain members of the Mallad militia.
So it's probably a wise choice there.
We go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, It's our number on hour one, the Original Recipe Podcast.
We thank you for supporting the show. We love you.
That's July thirtieth, Yes, very exciting, the day before baseball's
trade deadline, the day before the start of NFL exhibition football,
and we begin with the Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons
(00:22):
said to be further away from a deal with the
Cowboys Jerry Jones now than in late March. Give me
your reaction. Also, Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh says that running
back Najee Harris, the guy that was playing with fireworks
and messed up his eye, still does not have a
timeline for returning to practice. Your thoughts on that. Cardinals
(00:43):
quarterback Kyler Alligator Arms Murray says his knee is as
close as it's going to get to being full strength
after he shredded his ACL. Is this a big deal,
a little deal or no deal? Talk about all that
and more right now now here. It is our number one,
(01:05):
Just another day at the rodeo. Welcome in the beginning
of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
We are in the air everywhere eyeball to eyeball, as
we are swinging and bringing coast to coast.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Border to border and beyond on the vast and emphatically
powerful microphones of fsre ammundating live live from the classroom.
As we are always learning new things. I was learning
about Tsunamis earlier from the Fox Sports Radio studios as
approved by the Green Bay Gobbler doesn't have to worry about that,
(01:48):
of course, not really worried either. And this portion of
the Ben Malor Show made possible in part by our
friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
(02:10):
mobile tire installation. That's the thumbs up over there you
see in the background from alf and Fergnog tire rack
dot com the way tire binds should be. So our
lead this hour is yet again from a contract stalemate
in Auxnard, California's The Obligatory Mallard Monologue about the tense
(02:32):
negotiation between Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons. More chatter from
Jerry's world. So if you've not heard the latest, maybe not.
We're hearing things are going the wrong direction. The plot
thickens now, the gap is widening. Gotta watched the gap.
Also the spawn of Jerry, that would be Stephen Jones,
(02:56):
keeping up with the Joneses. So Stephen Jones, he's the
guy that won the Genek lottery and was born into
great wealth and has not had to earn any job.
He's gotten because he has the right last name and
the right DNA, much like Bronnie James. So Stephen Jones
claims the Cowboys the NEPO baby. Stephen Jones claims the
Cowboys don't drag their feet on contract negotiations as he snickered.
(03:22):
So let us discuss the question for the esteem panels.
So edge rusher Micah Parson said to me, further away
from a deal, further away from a deal with the
Cowboys today, further away from a deal with the Cowboys
right now. Then he was back in late March, So
(03:43):
give me your reaction. So I've got Frankenstein, Austin powers
and underlying issue, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to say Cowabunga, dude,
all right, when you're riding the tsunami, you gotta say calabungado.
So my reaction, A my reaction is, you know what
(04:07):
this is. This is old man engagement farming. That's it.
That's my hypothesis. It's old man engagement farming. This is
a billionaire owner who's been around since the nineteen eighties
as an NFL owner. He's not doing the TikTok. He
doesn't know TikTok from a toaster. Jerry Jones. He doesn't
(04:30):
use Instagram, and he's too old even for Facebook. You're
not on there. He doesn't give a damn about X.
He's still reading those old newspapers and he's using a
flip phone and all that, and that's how he lives
his life. But he does know how to stir the pot.
He loves to stir the pot right vague references and
(04:51):
press conferences, BS flowing a soliloquy of BS there, and
he knows how to keep people engaged and the attention
starved Dallas faithful, foaming at the mouth and reacting even
though Jerry's been doing this for two generations now, two generations,
(05:13):
and people still react. It's wild. Now, Why is that?
Because Jerry Jones, after a minutes long mall or investigation.
We determine Jerry Jones does not run the Cowboys like
a football team. He runs it like he's doing a
Vegas residency. He might as well be carat top. But
in this case, Jerry is Frankenstein when it comes to owners.
(05:36):
He's equal parts P. T. Barnum and Vince McMahon. If
you combine them together. They had a baby, which is
very odd because Jerry's older than them, but still just
go with it. Well, not P. T. Barnum but Vince McMahon.
So Jerry wakes up I'm convinced in very expensive sheets
every morning, and he asks himself, how can I Jerry
(05:59):
Jones hijack the NFL news cycle today? What can I
Jerry Jones do to get everyone running around? And so
today's story is further away from a deal than back
in March. Now, Police, that is not a negotiation problem.
That is a script line. Is what that is. That's
(06:20):
in the script is what it is. And Jerry's sitting
in his yacht somewhere off the coast auction gard there,
and he's got his bottle of Johnny Walker blue and
he's whispering sweet nothings into the night. Right now, and saying,
you know, y'all, uh well, really fire up the social
media there. I'm gonna fire him up right now, here's
(06:40):
what I'm gonna do. You just wait and see. He's
not worried. Even Michael Parsons said I'm never playing again
and retiring, Jerry wouldn't be concerned. And we know that
these negotiations, whether it's the Cowboys or everybody else, it
doesn't get serious until there's a countdown clock t because
what happens tick tick tick eventually boom. Right, gotta see
(07:04):
all the cowboy fanboys in the media, the people that
freak out Steven A. Smith, those those guys having veins
bursting from their neck. And that's when Jerry's happy. And
so Jerry didn't forget to pay anybody. And as far
as the calari the Salary cap space or Calgary Space,
the Salary cap space, you know, it's about staying relevant.
(07:27):
That's really what this is about. And Jerry Jones knows
the only thing worse than bad press is no press
and no internet coverage and all that stuff. And secondly,
the Cowboy fans right stop chanting pay Micah. Jerry's got
them to chant that louder there the second though, they
(07:47):
stopped calling into sports radio and posting things online, and Jerry,
you go on the YouTube there and then the moment
that you don't see Jerry Jones boattox face on the YouTube,
you know that that's when he panics. That's when the
panic sets and he's oh man, oh whoa. In the meantime,
(08:07):
he's just tossing logs on the fire. You know, you
got to keep the logs on the fire and keep
the fire burning. And that's what you do. And you
know some of you don't like it, and you send me,
what do you always talk about the Cowboys? I don't know,
because people seem to engage it. We have the data.
If you stop listening when I talk about the Cowboys,
you stop downloading the podcast and listening to the streams
on iHeart and all that. I'll move on. But it's
(08:30):
a good format. So Jerry's directing the choreography on the
drama O Rama. The script does not end until Jerry
Jones says cut. And I maintain my long standing position
that all of this will come down to right before
the kickoff of the NFL season, and on those NFL
pregame shows, which are archaic at this point with the
(08:53):
age of the Internet. It's just a chuckle fest. It's
like going to the improv no less, and I love
going to the improv, don't get me wrong. I just
don't need to see a munch of ex jocks in
their sixties chanting and laughing on television anyway. Nonetheless, they'll
get done at the very last second. Jay Glazer just didn't.
There's a deal done, all right now. Meanwhile, we go
to Los Angeles. Follow up, follow up alert, follow up alert.
(09:17):
You might remember in a previous episode of the show,
we told you about a fireworks extravaganza that went back. Well,
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh has given us a status update
on the running back who did not play with safe
insane fireworks. Well, it's not good running back, Naji Harris.
(09:38):
Naji Harris of the Chargers. Now, I used to be
with the Steelers running back Naji Harris. He's got a
really messed up by like some of the stuff I've heard,
if it's true, really bad. He still does not have
a timeline, Naji Harris on when he will actually practice.
(09:59):
Not not a guy we talked about practice, So he
hadn't practiced yet cuz you can't see. And it's not
blind football. I bet your Stevie Meatballs could run the football,
or blind Scott or blind Emmitt the Seahawks fan, or
Inka Terror. The Chargers want a running back, they can
bring those guys in. All right, So what are your
thoughts on this development? Jim Harbaugh saying that Najehi still
(10:23):
does not have any timeline to practice. All right. So
first off, this is exactly why you should have listened
to our public service announcement. Never ever trust anything agents say,
or for that matter, coaches. We know not to trust politicians,
but this, this is different. This is sports. So Frostburg,
(10:47):
who works on the Jason Smith Show with the Great
Mike Harmon Harmon in here in the big chair, and
I saw Frosburg in the hallway. He's like, I'm going
off to Canton because he travels with the Chargers and
they're gonna be playing in the Hall of Fame game,
and so that game's coming up on Thursday. So it's
we're just like, I believe it's on Thursday. So it's
(11:08):
a couple of days away the Hall of Fame game,
I believe. Uh, And anyway, So they're going there and uh,
and so they're about to begin exhibition games the Chargers
and Najie Harris hasn't practiced yet, right, but these ages
I got, they'll tell you all that my guy runs
a four three forty. Yeah, and he can actually levitate
like in the Bible. Uh yeah, and he can turn
(11:29):
water to wine. You can do all those things, yeah, absolutely, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
And then in this case, well it's just you know
a little scratch or anything like the minor incident. Yeah,
just like a little flick or fleck of debris that
got in the eye. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Then if that's the case, why is Jim Harball of
all people not exactly mister transparency if you follow him
with the Niners in Michigan over the years, telling reporters
there is still no timeline. There is no timeline. Now,
if a player misses this much time, there's a good
amount of time. Can we still say it's a superficial injury?
(12:09):
Because that's what they said, right, It ain't superficient. Obviously,
it's not superficial. You don't have to be a doctor
to know it's not superficial. You don't miss multiple weeks
of training camp, unless your eyeball or in this case
Naji Harris eyeball most likely looks like he lost a
(12:30):
street fight to a bottle rocket at this particular point. Unfortunately,
and let's not ignore the larger picture here, because we
take a couple steps back, Nase is already on thin ice.
He didn't get a long term contract with the Chargers.
He did not. He was underwhelming, certainly underwhelming with the Steelers.
(12:50):
That the tenure there was not good. So change the scenery, guy,
fresh start. And if you look at his body of work,
Najie Harris, you watch the e clips of what kind
of runner is he? So if you like the three
yard dive play checks that box force touches, just awkward,
(13:10):
no separation, no long runs, that's your guy. So now
he's in LA with the Chargers. It's probably his last
best opportunity to be a running back one. If he
screws this up, you can get another job somewhere. It's
not going to really be legit like a legit opportunity.
And so now if this is accurate, that the the
(13:32):
eye is completely messed up. And so now he's like
one of doctor Evils henchmen. I think it was number
two from the Austin Powers trilogy there, and he's gonna
have to wear an eyepatch or something like that, And
which is I guess the case. This is going the
way it's going, it sounds that way is really mis
messed up. Either way, even if he comes back in plays.
(13:54):
This is going to be a public service announcement right
around the fourth or July from NFL Productions NFL Films. Hi,
my name is Andre Harris. You might remember me. I
used to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers and they went
out to the Chargers there and I blew my eye out.
My career with the Chargers literally ended by playing with fireworks.
(14:16):
Don't be like me. The PSA right light sparkler safe, insane.
Do not light your retina on fire. Do not light
your retina. I know, I hopefully NA. She's all right.
It does not sound like it's going very well. And
lesson I learned working in radio is that we're all replaceable,
(14:37):
very replaceable. So it's certainly running backs in football are
easily replaced. Right now. Last word to the Valley of
the Sun, a long standing nemesis. We have been victorious
in our battle with alligator arms Murray. The quarterback there,
the pint size quarterback of the fledgling Arizona football team. So,
(14:57):
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray announced recently that his knee is
as close as it's going to get to full strength.
His little knee there. He had acl surgery. He's recovered
from that. So is this a big deal, a little deal,
or you know, no deal? All right, So you're probably thinking,
(15:20):
I'm gonna say it's a little deal because he's a
little quarterback. I'm not gonna say that. That's too easy,
that's too easy. I'm gonna go on my scorecard. I
wrote down a meh deal because Kyler Murray is a
meh quarterback. That's the kind of quarterback games. Good old
alligator arms Murray, Good old alligator arms Murray. Right, and listen,
(15:40):
we know training camp is not like real football. It's
gone softer and softer and softer over the years, so
it's not real. It's not real football. You know, nobody's
trying to rip your head off. And if you're playing
quarterback like Kyler Murray, you don't have to worry about
looking down at Jared Verse of the Rams trying to
rip your head down, off and jump jump down your throat.
(16:03):
So it's essentially summer school in pads. That's what this is.
And so let's see how the knee holds up the
little knee and when the real Wolves are out there
in week one of the regular season in September. Now,
the underlying issue here, the underlying issue is not the ACL.
It's the a cl What a crumbling legacy, that's the ACL.
(16:26):
A crumbling legacy for Kyler Murray. Now we have been
on top of this story for some time. Right, we've
seen this. Now you got paid, so good for him.
He got the money. But in terms of just pure football,
Kyler Murray every year, I'll tell you he comes out
every year like a bottle rocket. Right. I I don't
(16:47):
want to if nag he's upsetting listening. I don't want
to upset. But he comes out like a Kyler Murray,
like a bottle rocket. And then what happens. He fizzles out.
He fizzles out. He's not Mighty Mouse, he's not Mighty mount.
He's just a mouse. That's it. He's a little pint sized,
jittery shoulder pad wearing, video game obsessed rodent. That's what
(17:10):
he is right there, right and in the alligator arms.
You look at his career arc at this point, and
the same thing. He'll come out in November like game Busters,
or in September and October like game Busters. Then we
get to it about November. Sometime in November, usually about
mid November, that could fall, weather settles in and all
(17:32):
that stuff. And at that point, at that point, Kyler
needs a juice box and a nap. Somebody get him
a juice box. Can we hook him up? We don't
have any all right, fortunate listen, Arizona, they're idiots. They
gave this guy a quarter of a billion dollars. Nobody
told him to do that, they did, so hey, enjoy this.
(17:52):
They immediately had buyer's remorse when they signed him to
the contract. They immediately wanted to go a different direction.
And so they have a quarterback who cannot handle the riggers.
Much like the scouting report before he came into the NFL,
not going to be able to put up with the
violence of the NFL over a full season. And that
has been proven correct, right, so, and also it's not great.
(18:15):
The locker room doesn't believe in him. They know what
they got middling results from Alligator arms Murray, right, and
you know, tell me that's my franchise quarterback, not my
franchise quarterback. So the only franchise that Kyler Murray at
this point after years in the NFL, the only franchise
I believe he could carry is a Chick fil A. Now,
(18:37):
the reason I believe that he could carry a Chick
fil A is because they're not open on Sunday, So
I think he'd be in good ship. All Right. It
is the It's too easy, It is the Ben Mallor Show.
If you want to comment on any of that, open
lines Release the Hounds at eight seven, seven ninety nine

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Bill Miller and you it is the Band Mather Show.
We thank you for joining us. The Red Eye Flight
has taken off. We're here all night long into the
wee hours of the morning, whatever that means. In fact,
we're gonna be here so long. By the time we
get done, people will be getting up to go to
work trying to beat the traffic. That's how long we're
gonna be here. It's a long time. There's people sleeping
(21:50):
right now. They have no idea we're here, we're talking.
They're sleeping. They're snoozy, and they're gonna get off, and
then they're gonna get dressed and they gonna take hopefully
they take showers before they get dressed. We're gonna brush
their teeth, and then you're gonna get cars and drive
to work. We'll still be here. It's amazing. Anyway, you
can enact with the show if you want send an
advantage working the third shift. Say hello on X at
(22:14):
Ben Mahler and say hello to Lorena walked in with
a pie. That's FSR Tech Queen and Kupe loop at
a Bronco van. Or you can call in. Just call
in if you want. I know you can do that too. Yes,
(22:34):
and the number eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
and back to it. We go all right, back to it,
and we'll get to that zero worry story coming up
in a little bit. Zero worry, that's right, nothing to
worry about at all, zero zero worry. Absolutely absolutely. Ferg
(22:57):
Dog says, do not look now, Ben, but the angel
are back to being only two games under five hundred.
Ask any team in the American League who they don't
want to face in the playoffs, and they'll say the Angels. Wow,
we're coming. Of course, the reason they don't want to
face the Angels because the Angels aren't in the playoffs.
So that's why if they're in the outfield, Ben, Yes,
that's right, yes, right there in the outfield. There some
(23:23):
fishy about that group that wears the halo is in
the outfield there. I don't know, there's something odd about that.
I'm not sure what it is. Anyway, Late night Drug
Tester says, I like the analogy of Kyler Murray going
flat by mid season. But little guys like Dad shouldn't
play with matches, let alone fireworks. Maybe he goes flat
(23:43):
like a soda pop, which he can have as long
as he brushes his teeth. So, courtesy of the Late
Night Drug Tester, barbecuing Len, he gives a melancholy update
says with a heavy heart, our buddy barbecuing in reporting
in saying that he had to put the put to
(24:05):
peace his beloved ride or die dog. Yeah, Doug Prince
fifteen years Oh, I'm so sorry. Was a bummer. That's
one thing I didn't know as an adult. Like when
I was a kid, I thought, well, dogs just grow
old and die. Uh No, they grow old, their bodies
fall apart, and then you, as the grown up, have
(24:26):
to take them to the to the grim reaper because
usually their bodies don't last as long as their lives do.
It's pretty pretty messed up.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Man.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well that sucks. I knew that would. Like Bella, my
dog bell I had a similar situation. Bella got attacked
by a coyote and survived. Yeah, yeah, all bloody got
Bella fixed and you know, recovered from the injury, and
then of course didn't last much longer than that. But
there you go. There you go, Barbecuing in long time listen,
(24:59):
there you go, all right. Mark from Queens via Arlington says,
truly one of the most hilarious opening Mallard monologues ever.
Some of the word choices absolutely epic. Got uh there
you go, how you bury the cowgirls, Kardashians, lebron and
alligator arms. Murray, there you go. Enjoy it every night? Well,
thank you. Other people bitch about it every night, so
I'm glad that you enjoy it. Mark. There are people
(25:21):
suck complaining. They don't want us to do broadcasting. They
want us to do narrow casting. I say, can you
do some narrow casting? Please? Good spox Weed, you know
it's a big night of spocks. Weed is listing from
the Oregon Trail. He says, Ben, the barbs and slights
you've thrown at Jerry Jones are quite numerous and delicious.
(25:42):
Us shot in Freuda eaters are quite happy nine out
of ten on the Malard monologue, only because I could
have eaten more. Yell more, more and more and more
and more and more and more and more and more.
There you go. Let's see what else do we have here?
Supermarket Steve's make king some kind of religious comment he's
(26:03):
I think he's on the spectrum. I think Supermarcus Steve's
on the spectrum. Some of the stuff he sends in.
Brock writes and says, I'm trying to be optimistic about
the twenty twenty five Dallas Cowboys going to climb back
aboard drive the bandwagon. But in the first few camp
days we've lost, at least for a few regular season games,
two O line starters Geiton and Rod Jones. I saw that.
(26:27):
I guess Guiden is going to be back, but he's
gonna be out for like a month and a temporary
starter at cornerback and somewhere. So he's going he's going,
oh no, yeah, Well that's what happens the training. Can
you get hurt? That's how goes super Marcus Steve says,
I was unprepared for the Cowboy Jerry Jones monologue because
you refuse to post a rundown tonight, is what he says.
(26:51):
All right, I guess you might want to click refresh
your big dummy. It's right there, you moron. I mean,
what do I have to come show? You have to
let me take your phone. I'll show you with a
rundown as right at the top, right there. It says,
right there, what's on the shout? What's wrong with you? Loser?
Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
(27:13):
Too late. All right, we'll take some calls It is
a call in show at eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. Will start out see here Andrew, Andrew is
in beautiful Baker's Field there where it's one hundred and
seventy during the summer.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Hello Andrew, Freddy Freddy Show. Hey David Beth, say, let's
go Dodgers. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah? I think that Tyler Glass now move is really
working out well for the Dodgers. He's been very smooth there.
What a great addition he's been and another outstanding performance
by Glass. Now, what's not to like? You ready for
the playoffs?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yes, he wasn't horrible. Ye, he's stuck in there.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Do you actually watch it? Well, you don't watch the game.
You're blind, so I can't. I mean, I can't say
you watch the game. You don't watch the games?
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Right, Yeah, I listened to Rick.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Mo Monday, The Great mo Monday.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Tim Neverritt, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's Tim Neverritt. Actually, you know he lives in New Hampshire,
Tim Never you know I know that. Yeah, he used
to do the Red Sox games. Yeah, listen to Hampshire.
He calls Dodgers. That is a that's right. That is
a fun fact. And so you don't think Tyler glass
now was wrong or was bad in his performance. You know,
you thought he thought he sucked, but you think he
(28:27):
was all right. You think he was okay. So you
think better. You think he was better than he thinks
he was. So you think the fact that he allowed
four runs in four innings and was given a lead
early in the game and could not find the strike zone.
I think he he only had. I saw the stat
of like forty six of the eighty four pitches went
(28:48):
for strikes. But you think that's good. Do you work
for the Dodgers. By the way, you sound like ves? No,
I don't you know what, because he sounded like you
sound like a houseman for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
What you sound like, Well, I'm a big fan, so
I'll well.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Can't you a real fan? Is I don't know. I
guess my definition of fan is different because to me,
a real fan is critical. You're a kool Aid drinker.
You're more not just a fan, You're a kool Aid drink.
Like I'm like, well, I have high expectations, like the
Dodgers have a good record. I don't think they're very
good this year. Well, they have a good record. I
(29:23):
don't They're not to me very good. Even though they've
got a great record, I don't think they're that good.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Okay, I have a quick shout on nause Harris. I'm
wondering if superficial might mean that the skin is injured
around the eye, but the eyeball and the vision is
still there.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Possibly that's your medical diagnosis there.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
I'm just wondering because that they say superficial.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Or could it be they lied about that and that
it's actually really bad because the stories that were coming
out that weren't from some of that works for Najie
Harris was that he really messed up. He was at
a hospital. Yeah, I think it was at Stanford and
it was like really bad and they didn't know how
to handle it. And he's he went to two hospitals
because the first one didn't know how to handle.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
The eye and it was a he blew his eye out,
like completely no, you could be a pirate.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
They have like, well, yeah, you wear as I said,
the eye patch. You didn't get the eye patch out.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
You could do that from all right, I'm get in.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Oh thank god, yes, all right, go go look at
your dodger, fat head on the wall laship line, but
just a massage your bobble head doll and have a
fine times having grand old time there with your bobble
head doll. That is the way to go. That is
the way to go. All right, we are on X
at Ben mallor if you'd like to be part, that's
(30:41):
at Ben Mallard time now though for the tire Iraq
play Oh the Night, and we go now to Major
League Baseball's top team and Anne rue Vaughan the Brew
Crew take a listen.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
Please, sir, the legend of everyone keep scrolling on Grand Slam.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
You have got to be kiddy Lee. No, we're not kidding.
Number twenty eight in your program, but number one in
your heart, and move on the Grand Slam. And that
is the ti Iraq Play of the Night. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
fast end freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient
(31:32):
installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot Com,
the Wait Tire Buying Show be and the Milwaukee Brewers
The Brew Crew Wake Up the Echoes, The legend behind
the Pearly Gates, Bob Buker smiling down from the heavens
as the Brewers sit atop the major league standings sixty
(31:53):
four and forty three, twenty one games above five hundred.
That's a five ninety eight winning percentage for the Milwaukee
Brewers and they are the top team. The call on Brewers,
I believe that was Brewers Radio, but the call there
on Andrew Vaughan, who hit the Grand Slam, had six
runs batted in, and he was picked up from the
(32:14):
Chicago White Sox and hit that home run against the
Chicago Cubs, and he went to the minor leagues when
the Brewers got him, didn't go right to the major leagues.
But Vaughn now has twenty one RBIs since the Brewers
called him up for the Miners on July seventh. The
only here's the fun.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
If you want to fun fight, I got fun.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Fact, the only player in Major League Baseball with more
runs batted in during that stretch is Kyle Schwarber. Kyle
Schwarber of the Fighting Phills. So there, Andrew vaugh Wow.
It means we all know extreme outcomes are followed by
more mild outcomes, and so that will be a case
(32:54):
of see you later. He will regression to the mean,
regression to the mean. Paul and says, I'm a doctor.
That SoundBite always cracks me up. Oh you like that,
you enjoy that drop. I'm a doctor. That's a classic
from the late great Genie in Medford. Genie, well, the
all time greatest caller to sports radio since I've been here.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Anyway, you want to hang out with me, she's been
giving me that good stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Legend of Genie. She's immortal, she lives on. She's been
gone for years, but we still honor the legacy of
Genie and Medford with these dopey sound bites that we
got turned on in Scarin. Yeah, I know she had
quite the imagination. How much of that was true that
she would say? And one time she got into a
battle with this guy Pete and Pittsburgh was one of
(33:41):
Howard Stern's callers, and she started talking gangster on the air. Yeah,
like she was talking gangster. She says, she used to
live in LA and she lived in the wrong part
of LA and she talked gangster. Okay, thank you Genie. Okay, anyway,
it is the ban mallor show time now and then
we'll pay off the zero worry. We'll push that back.
But let's get on time. I'm on time, Mallard by
(34:03):
