Is the eleventh day of August and here in hour
number one, we start out with Dallas where coach Brian
Schottenheimer temporary coach Brian Schottenheimer is up selling backup quarterback
(00:25):
Joe Milton, saying he throws quote piss missiles, compared him
to Brett Farv Is this something or nothing? Also, what
is your reaction to the viral clip of Cowboy wide
receiver Ceede Lamb, who didn't even play, getting trunked in
the game by the referee. Wow, he didn't play in
(00:45):
the game, but he was in a non game uniform
and got trucked. Also, what is your verdict on Brown's
quarterback Shuder Sanders confronting a Cleveland sports radio gas bag
over some negative commentary about out Shadur will go there

It is our number one call him Joe cool Well
(01:11):
here on that good Welcome in the beginning of another
week of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We are in the air everywhere like teammates as we
provide a psychedelic brew coast the coast, border, the order
and beyond on the mast and hypnotically powerful microphones of
FSR amminating live front live.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The break as we break the huddle from the Fox
Sports Radio Studios as approved by mister Irrigation and his
new biggest fan, which will be can't close the deal
neal more than that later as we are broadcasting live
from the Fox Sports Video Studio's made possible in part
(02:02):
by our friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years,
tyre Raq has been helping customers find the right tires

freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation tire iraq dot com the way
(02:24):
tire bond should be. So I lead this hour, and
we survived the weekend and all that. Our lead this
hour from the Cowboys. Oh yeah, well why not? So
now Dallas played the Rams. I can't get into these
exhibition games. I can't. I know there are some people
that are better people than me that can talk about
these exhibition games. I can't do it. I just I can't.
(02:45):
I try to watch two seconds of them. I want
to puke in my mouth watching this crap. That being said,
that being said, I do have a talk show to
do right now. And there are some stories that came
out of these exhibition football games. One of them losing
to the Rams over the weekend in a practice game,
not real game, not real game, a practice game. We
(03:07):
Rams won, all right. So quarterback Joe Milton, quarterback Joe Milton,
who played for the Patriots last year now with the
Dallas Cowboys, and he played in that game, played a
lot in that game, did not do anything all that
memorable as the QB two for the Cowboys. It was
at meh, meh performance for Joe Milton, and that was
(03:32):
that left bruising his shoulder in the third quarter, so
he left the game early although he was likely going
to come out of the game anyway. Around that time.
He gave himself a D minus. He gave himself the
D the D minus grade on that. However, that's not
what I want to chat with you about. It will
lead up to that exhibition game. Coaches say the darnedest things.
(03:55):
We got a hum dinger, humdinger of a quote from
the coach, I say that loosely. Coach in Dallas. If
you did not hear what he said, perhaps not. Coach
Brian Schottenheimer shotze Brian Schottenheimer describing Joe Milton's passes as
quote piss missiles. That's what he said. That's a quote
(04:19):
from the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. When speaking
to reporters prior to that Cowboy exhibition game with the Rams,
he compared his throwing to that of Brett farre the
Hall of Fame former Green Bay Packer quarterback. So you
know what that means. Let's parse the words. Let's parse
the words here of the Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer as
(04:44):
we discuss so Brian Schottenheimer up selling obviously upselling backup
quarterback Joe Milton, saying that he throws quote piss missiles,
compared him to Brett Farv. Is this something or is
this nothing? All right? So I've got twister, hot tub,
(05:06):
and cinnabun. Cinnabun is so good, And we'll combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
the Gabba Ghoul. We're gonna make the Gabba gol. So a,
where's the beef? The first question is where is the beef.
This is a burger. It's not an in and out
(05:26):
Burger's not a McDonald's burger's not a whopper from Burger King.
It is a nothing burger, is what it is. It's
your typical coach hype Garbai garbais Listen, how many let
me ask a questions, how many quarterbacks have great arm
talent in the month of August? How many? The answer
(05:52):
all of them? Physically right, They're all listen, they're there,
They're in the NFL. They all can make all the
throws and all that stuff. So listen, Joe Milton, if
you look at the raw ingredients, he's a specimen. He's
got the prototypical cannon arm and mobilities, the whole deal,
(06:13):
and then some and then some, and the kind of
stuff that coaches and scouts get all horny for. They're,
oh man, the problem is it's all unprocessed. It is
all unprocessed. And you can throw a fastball and just
zing it downfield, and it can also go into the
fifteenth throw, and that's great. Can you consistently read the
(06:37):
defense and find the open receiver and all that? Can
you hit the open player more importantly underneath, when it's
third down and four or are you one of those
checked down Charlie guys, when it is I say third
and seven, and you complete a pass at the line
of scrimmage and then it gets five yards, so you
come up short, but your completion percentage is good. Milton
(06:59):
was least out of New England in part because Drake May,
who was the chosen one, the chosen one there with
the Patriots. Drake May was uncomfortable, so those around the
Patriots said, with Joe Milton. Which is odd because if
you look at the resume of the new Cowboy backup
(07:20):
quarterback here, Joe Milton, his biggest NFL moment, the thing
that stands out on his resume was a believe it
was Week eighteen last year, last year when he beat
the Buffalo bill backups backups in the final game of
the regular season, a meaningless game. That's it. That's the resume.
(07:43):
That's all. Now, regardless of that, you can't just overlook
the fact. And this is why I'm intrigued by this
to a point, not just the great quote from Schottenheimer
piss missile describing the throws, but the fact that you've
got the incompetent Dakota Prescott has QB won there in Dallas.
The man is made of toilet paper. And I'm not
(08:05):
talking about Scharman. I'm talking about one plied toilet paper
that you see at a truck stop on the side
of the Jersey Turnpike. That's what I'm talking about, that
one plied toilet paper. He's always hurt. And Jerry Jones
knows this. He's aware of this because it happens every
year where Dakota Prescott gets hurt. So Jerry Jones is
out there playing twister. Now nobody wants to see Jerry
(08:27):
Jones play twister. But Joe Milton is one twisted ankle
or twisted knee or you know, tweaked elbow away from
playing in the regular season for the Dallas Cowboys. And
while again piss missile, great quote, really good quote, wonderful. However,
Joe Milton, if you look at the comparison, it's like, well,
(08:51):
he certainly more of a JaMarcus Russell, although Russell was
the number one over of the old Oakland Raiders. I'm
old I remember the played in Oakland, and Brett Farv
certainly nowhere near Brett farrv Joe Milton in that category. Now,
we would enjoy, we would absolutely enjoy watching him play
(09:12):
in real game. Now. Why is that, I'll tell you
because of chaos with a capital C. Chaos with a
capital C here it could be awesome, right, real games.
So there's a little bit of intrigue there. Why not
see what he can do? But for now, we're doing
(09:32):
the show right now. For now, this is just a
nice puffy pastry in August, a nice delicious pastry served
up in August, and Brian Schottenheimer trying to build up
the player and give him some false confidence and all that,
and that's really what he's going for here. Now we
will revisit this. We're gonna file this one away. We're
(09:53):
gonna revisit this around week three when Dak Prescott feels
a twinge in his hamstring, and then we'll revisit all
this now. Page two, staying though, staying in Jerry's world
because we had a wonderful mall mate, a wonderful moment.
I did not see this live, but let me set
(10:14):
the scene here for you. So again, Cowboys preseason Cowboys
playing a nothing game against the Rams in the hood
in Inglewood on Saturday and Ceedee Lamb. That's a high
paid wide receiver, not an actual Lamb, a football player
named Lamb, Ceedee Lamb. So Ceedee Lamb doesn't even play
(10:36):
in the game. Why would he. He's a star, he's
a diva. Divas don't play. Stars don't play in these
first exhibition games. So fine, he didn't play in the game,
but he's there. He doesn't take a snap in the game.
He's not wearing a uniform. You're not able to take
a snap. And so somehow, some way, this player, Ceedee Lamb,
(10:58):
somehow manages to get the biggest hit of the game.
He was involved in the biggest end of the game.
Well how did he do that? I don't understand, all right,
So without even being in uniform again, we'll go back
to Joe Milton, the backup quarterback who played a lot
because this was an exhibition game. So Joe Milton is
in there, and he unquirks a deep pass down the
(11:19):
sideline to someone named Jonathan Mingo to the Mingo down
the sidelines, and Lamb who is standing there right on
that white painted area and that stripe on the sidelines
where you're not allowed to be that literally is the
get out of the way zone in football. And so
he's in the lane where the officials are running down
(11:41):
the field, and sure enough he starts celebrating like this
is the super Bowl. Of course, playing for the Cowboys,
they don't actually get to the Super Bowl, so you
have to celebrate these kind of things. And so he
was so engaged, so caught up into the moment. How
caught up was he, Ceede Limb. He was so caught
up he did not notice in his peripheral vision in
a bad situational awareness, did not notice the side judge
(12:04):
barely down the sideline in full sprint and ca boom
a cup boom. It was great, obliterated the side a
sideline judge there obliterated Ceedee Lamb from behind blind side
hit pancake in Madden on the blind side. Fifteen yard
(12:29):
penalty for the Cowboys for unsportsmanlike conduct. And it's good
to know that the coaches have changed, that the calendar
has changed, all of this has changed, all of this
has changed, and yet here we are. So my reaction
to that particular place, well, yes it was entertaining. It
(12:52):
was entertaining. I'll give you that but my reaction to
the cowboy wide receiver ceed Lamb being trucked in a
exit bishing game that he didn't even play in. I
loved it. This was exactly exactly the kind of dopey
stuff that the preseason is four. That was my first thought. Here,
(13:14):
what a bonehead move. And you can't keep your third
or fourth or fifth string this guy and that guy
and these battles. You know, some people into that kind
of stuff, the analytical crowds into that. Give me an
all pro level player in street close getting bulldozed by
(13:39):
a referee any day. NFL films, you know what they
need to do. They need to go in the hot
tub time machine. Go into the hot tub time machine
and bring back the classic, old school NFL's Greatest follies.
Bring that back and you can just stream it. You
don't have to do the DVD. You don't have to
(13:59):
do obviously the VHS that's old tech. But you can
bring back NFL's Greatest follies and slap Ceedee Lamb in
there right in between the mascot falling off the ATV
always a classic, always very entertaining. The quarterback who lines
up behind the guard not realizing where they are on
(14:21):
the field. That's also very entertaining. Put the Dunce cap
on him, and CD seemed to appreciate the fact that
he was the butt of the joke. After the game,
and I'm push you can have all the follies, the
usual follies, the fumbles, the ball bouncing off a player's helmet,
all that stuff just bobbled passes here, there and everywhere.
(14:45):
You know, guys slipping on the logo. And now you
can add ceedee lamb the Cowboy player not in uniform
and taking a shoulder from the side judge there like
he's running the Oklahoma drill. And it was very very
inut attending so instant classic and the rookie sock puppet
(15:06):
coach Brian Schottenheimer out there saying that CD knows better,
he knows better, and that is the Dallas Cowboys in
a nutshell. As we said, things change, the calendar changes,
the names change, the coaches changed, and all that. But
even in August, even in August, they're still drawing thumb
penalties for nothing, for nothing at all, preseason or regular season.
(15:32):
You can count on Dallas for one thing, entertainment at
their own expense, and they did it yet again. Now
turn the page on that last word. We go to Cleveland,
the Mistake by the Lake, That is where Shadur Sanders,
rookie quarterback Brownies out there over the weekend they played
(15:53):
the Panthers. Also, of course, all these games meaningless exhibition
games and all that stuff, and he apparently it was
very good. The numbers were good by all accounts, So
should ear Sanders went out there and looked like he
was back in Colorado and he was playing Colorado State
or Texas Tech and lighting up the stat sheet, except
he was wearing an NFL uniform and lighting up the
(16:15):
stat sheet in this game. That was not the story here. No, no, no, no,
that's not the story. The story here happened after the game,
not during the game, but after the game. And if
you saw this or heard about it, you know where
I'm going with this. Maybe not, he meaning Shuldar Sanders confronted,
(16:36):
confronted a long time Cleveland sports radio gas bag. And
I guess this guy works on the Browns broadcasts as well.
During the exhibition season in the tunnel, Tony GROSSI longtime
Cleveland media guy, and the Sanders was recorded there the
message to the sports radio gas bag. The message was
(17:00):
you always say negative stuff about me, never seen you
say anything positive. That was the gist of the quote.
So then you had Dion Sanders come out and he
made his comment. He was of course, he's the patriarch
of the family. And Dion Sanders insisting that Shudur Sanders
tunes out all the media rhetoric, all the noise from
(17:23):
the media, does not hear anything, all right, that's what
Dion was selling. He's oh no, no, he does not
know the narrative, does not know any of that stuff.
So what is your verdict? What is your verdict on
the Browns rookie quarterback Shoulder Sanders confronting a Cleveland sports
radio host over negative commentary about his play. So on
(17:48):
this one, as as Big Red would say, quoting Andy Reid,
film don't lie, Film don't lie. So if you watch
the film or hear the audio from the film, should
it was preseason game number one, number one number you
shredded guys. Congratulations. Who will be selling insurance or maybe
(18:11):
they'll be trying their hand at door dash next one
and try to deliver some sandwiches. But it's not the
super Bowl is not. I know, based on the prepondence
of the evidence, you might think it's the Super Bowl,
but it's not, and it is indisputable. It is indisputable.
Shoulder is a consumer of sports talk radio, So for that, Bravo,
(18:36):
he's listening. And to be perfectly clear, these guys are
always listening. And if they're not listening, they have relatives
who do listen and monitor everything that is said twenty
four hours a day, and they read every word about them.
Should there certainly is doing that, which is fine if
you're a fan. If you're the quarterback, that's bad news
(18:59):
brown is what that is? Bad news Browns here. Now
I get the fact. Listen, he's twenty three years old
and he grew up in a generation where everyone's got
a platform and you got to speak your mind, keep
it real, all that stuff right. However, the fact that
a rookie, a rookie quarterback, got time to in the
(19:19):
bowels of the stadium hunt down the sixty eight year
old radio guy in the tunnel not a great look.
It screams insecurity, is what. It screams insecurity. And you
gotta know time and place, time and place like there's
always a camera there and the radio guy. I don't
(19:41):
know this guy. I mean, we've talked about it a
few times over the years because he's gotten involved in
these type of situations. But he's been doing this job
for many, many decades. He's old school, he's got a
little bit of bite. And younger talk radio hosts they
do a lot of lists. They're lazy, they do a
lot of lists, and they don't have strong opinions. That's
the modern sports talk radio host The old school guys
(20:03):
though they would throw fire right, they would have a
flamethrow and all that. So I get there's a lot
of the social media fanboys out there that are, oh man,
should there's the goat because he had good numbers and
looked pretty good against a Carolina team backups for Carolina
in the first exhibition game, and you know, all excited
(20:24):
you completed a slant against a guy who will be
working the counter at the cinnabon at the airport in
Charlotte in a couple of weeks. And as far as
the critic, that's his job. And I go back a
refresher course, if you will, a reminder, a reminder, the
critic is the unleaded gasoline of sports that you need
(20:45):
that fuel, You need that fuel. Without it, the whole
thing is just vanilla ice cream. And it's unlistenable. If
you've ever heard a boring sports radio host, my god,
is there anything worse in the world than someone that's
just dull and boar has no opinion. It's horrible. But
every athlete, I mean, as long as I've been doing this,
every athlete, when they reach a peak, they reach the
(21:07):
top of the mountain there, it's always the hater that
is brought up. It's the they didn't think we could
do it. They didn't believe in us. This person didn't
believe in us. And yet they also say, well, I
don't listen to the noise and all that stuff. And
so Michael Jordan, the greatest ever to play basketball by
our country mile over every other stiff out there. Michael
(21:29):
Jordan had the slights right. The people have slighted him.
Tom Brady had that late round six round draft pick
thing that he wore on his shoulder there. And so
I guess sder now apparently has the chip with a
sports radio guy in Cleveland. So my advice, it's late
(21:50):
night radio advice here. Stop acting like a thin skinned
Instagram influencer and try to act the part, at least
pretend to act a part as an NFL quarterback. And
if you want sports radio gas bags, old school guys
that still have critique to say something positive about you,
(22:11):
then win actual games. Not against Carolina in week one
of the exhibition season. We're talking about December. We're talking
about dot down the line beating Baltimore in Baltimore out
playing Lamar Jackson. Do that and then everyone will be
shutting up quicker and faster than you can possibly imagine
until then. Until then, these guys will continue to stay
(22:34):
in business, and you know, you Shoder can stay mad
and angry and all that stuff. And so that's where

That's a Saturday. Look forward to that and hopefully you'll
be able to attend and be part of the fun
and we'll have a grand old time there. As the
next Malor Meet and greet in Las Vegas. King Rory
writes and says, I agree. The NFL preseason is a tough,
(25:59):
tough one. Instead of watching the Packers, I was watching
the hottest team, the majors, the Milwaukee Brewers. The sports
and the national media seemed to be ignoring them. But
they will have all of October to talk about them,
says King Rory. The brew crew. And I remember the
(26:20):
Brewers started. I think they're one to four to start
the year, King Rory, and they got smoked by the Yankees.
And the Yankees were using the turbo bat. Remember the
turbo bat. There were a lot of dumb people that
were like, oh my god, every home run record's gonna
be broken. Is that because of the size of the
differences the turbo bat, the thickness of the turbo bat.
(26:41):
They were very upset about that, and then turned out
to be a total zero. We don't even talk about
that anymore. It was it was a good story for
about ten days. It was a good story, and that
was it. But the Brewers, who looked like they had
never played baseball before, they just got some guys off
the streets, said hey, how would you like to play
in the major leagues? And then now they can't be stopped.
Now they cannot be stopped, and it's amusing, and I'm
(27:04):
guessing King Rory Achie said, you appreciate this. Then now
I was watching like the Cardinal Cub game on Sunday
night because there was nothing else on. So I'm watching
the Cardinals and the Cubs. In John Mozillak, the longtime
Saint Louis empty suit for the Cardinals, who's watched the
demise of the Cardinal franchise, the once proud Cardinal franchise
under his executive leadership, and he's like, well, you know,
(27:26):
we kind of model herself after the Milwaukee Brewers. The
Cardinals what to model themselves after the Milwaukee Boys Shane
and de Moyes says, welcome back, Ben. The seat filler
left the end of the bench, stepped up to the plate,
got walked a C minus and this is welcome back.
Blah blah blah blah blah. Robbie the Mariner fan says,
Brian Schottenheim are using my favorite phrase is disheartening to
(27:50):
say the least. The piss missile should be used to
describe cal Raleigh home runs and Josh Allen passes. Not
some crap back cowboy, backup, Brian Schottenheimer better not ruined
my favorite phrase, so he says. Nature Boy writes in
answering the call to the while he says that the
(28:12):
term piss missile is better than rectile dysfunction missile, but
that'll be coming later. Uncle Mark writes in, and didn't
know I did not have an uncle Mark, but I
guess I do now. Uncle Mark writes in says teams
are walking Otani to get to Mooky. Mookie isn't done,
am I in denial? Well, MOOKI, if you haven't watched,
(28:34):
has been stealing money for the first one hundred games
of the baseball season. I think he's this week He's
played better for the Doyers play a little bit better.
But you talk about a thief in the night, Mookie Betts,
who has been heading the wrong direction. You can look
at his three year numbers from twenty twenty three, twenty
twenty four to twenty twenty five, all the numbers across
(28:57):
the board, down, across the board down. You look at hits,
you look at extra base hits, home runs, runs batted in,
all the key numbers, batting average, your old school stats.
Mookie Bets's numbers have gone down. And you're right. The
Blue Jays didn't even worry about Mookie Bets. They intentionally
walked ough Tani to get to Mookie Bets, and it
(29:19):
worked out in the blue jays favor. In that random
game on Sunday, there you go, uh Brock right, since
it's too bad the Cowboys couldn't have taken Shadur, who
grew up in the Dallas area in the fourth round.
Oh yeah, they traded that pick for Jonathan Mingo. He says,
there you go, great, Jonathan Mingo. All right, it is
(29:42):
the Ben Maler Show. Let's go to the phones. We'll
say hello to Jackson, who's in Seattle. What's going on Jackson.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Oh, Ben Maller, So we talked about two months ago,
and it was rhether U, right around when cal Rawly
had thirty home runs.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
You remember, yes, I remember everyone that I ever talked to.
I am like rain Man. I remember every conversation I
have ever had on the radio.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Well, we talked about the husbands of sports fans getting
mad at you.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
You remember, yes.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Anyways, anyways, Ben Maller, out here you said, you said
that the cal Rawly had a chance in hell at
winning the MVP when he had twenty nine home runs
out here in Seattle. You sent me back to the
old McDonald how the.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Farm, remember, yes, of course? And so you you now
are have you decided? When did they Loraina? When did
they vote on the MVP? Did that happen? Was it
on Friday? Or was it Thursday? Yeah? When was that?
Because this is a victory call from Jackson, And see
who's about? Is he about to put the whammy on
the big dumpster? Is cal Rawley about to get hurt
(31:06):
because Jackson is prematurely celebrating an MVP award? Is he
about to jinx the big dumper?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
My god, Bow, you know what.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
What I'm just I'm just throwing that out there. I mean,
it seems like you're taking a bow.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
No, it's about take a bow for Eachiroo. Man, he's
getting he's getting indoctorated this weekend fifty one, We've got.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Guy saw, I saw. This is what you do when
you don't have a good team. You you celebrate your
old legends of the game. I got you, I know
you know what?
Speaker 5 (31:40):
What what? What? What?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
What do you want me to do? You're calling up
to take a victory lap for a guy to win
the MVP who hasn't won the MVP yet. And and oh,
by the way, at that time, Aaron Judge hadn't gotten
hurt and hadn't gone away for for a couple of
weeks or whatever. It was so uh so yes, at
the time, yes, all the everything that happened at that
time was absolutely spot on. And now things have changed
(32:06):
a little bit. However, it's not it's not over by
any means. It's not over. And the Seattle Mariners, last
I checked, there's still not a playoff team. The Yankees
are barely a playoff team at this point.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Shum runs ago and you told me that there was
a chance in hell that out here, And.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Are you repeating you? Are you repeating yourself? Are you
not repeating? Retire you been hunting him? Ben? Am I
in your head? What part of am I in the
front of your head or the back of your head?
What part of the head mine the middle? Am I
in the middle of your head? And what kind of
alcohol are we drinking tonight?
Speaker 5 (32:40):
Uh? We're on the IPA is but we're talking. We're talking. Uh,
southern Seattle. You know, southern Alaska?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Remember that's right. Well, Jimmy Johnson famously said, southern southern Alaska.
I do one of the great lines in television history. There.
They were so upset they had to go to Seattle
for the Fox pregame show. They were devastating. Yeah, congratulations Jackson,
what a what a great MVP. All right, all right,
(33:09):
I'm going to hang up on you. Thank you, Jackson.
Enjoy your IPAs there. Do not drive anywhere. There's a
Jackson completely sauced in Seattle. He doesn't sound as sauce
as that person who said he was driving last week.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Well.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, well, here's the thing. He's at home. He's a
professional Jackson. He's he's had a lot of alcohol, a
lot of nights drinking, so I hope he's got some
snacksh well, if or not, he'll have some delivery, So
filling up the tip jar. That would be one billionaire
athlete who just won three hundred and eighty nine thousand
(33:45):
dollars in prize money finishing in second place at something
called the White Marlin Open. That sounds racist, the White
Marlin Open. That would be none other than a guy
that used to be pretty good at basketball, Michael Jordan.
You see this, His airan is Michael Jordan. Over the weekend,
the long retired basketball player and bulls legend on an
(34:08):
eighty foot yacht named what else but Catch twenty three,
took home second place at the White Marlin Open in
Ocean City, Maryland this recent recent days here, earning three
hundred eighty nine thousand, three hundred and seventy seven dollars
in prize money. Now Trey Cricket McMillan from Charleston, South
(34:31):
Carolina was the angler for Jordan's boat, called a seventy
one pound White Marlin on Saturday over the weekend, so
Jordan getting an extra three hundred and eighty nine thousand.
The winning boat, Bill Fisher won three point nine to
one million in prize money. And that after a seventy
(34:54):
two pound marlin. That's a huge, not a not a
Florida Marlin or Miami marlond just a regular Maryland Marlon.
They're in Ocean City. So that Bill the Bill Fisher boat.
They now can say claim, hey we beat six time
NBA champion Michael Jordan. And so Jordan, who's got a
(35:15):
lot of money and a lot of free time, how
about this? Jordan is worth an estimated three point five
billion with a B three point five billion, and he's
out there futzing around. He gets three hundred and eighty nine.
Thus does he just give all of that to the
person on the boat who actually caught the fish? Does
he keep any of that? I don't know. But there's
(35:35):
Jordan there winning second place, getting the silver medal at
the Big White Marlin Open. How do you even pick
up a fish that big? It's so slippery, very carefully.
You have to work out a lot to pick up
the fish, and you don't want to drop it. Spock's
Weed writes in he's on the Oregon Trail and he says,
(35:56):
ipa beer rules there we go for me Ferg Dog says,
cal Rawly hasn't locked up anything. Last I checked, Mike
Trout is still the American in the American League, and
you can never leave him out of the MVP conversation,
says Ferg Dog, who's also hitting the IPA. Robbie the
Mariner fan says, is that Ed and Spokane's brother or something?
(36:18):
And they talked about Jackson. I promise not all big
Dumper enthusiasts are that dumb Mariners are currently a wild
card team, though, though he says so that is from
from the aforementioned Robbie the Mariner fan.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Ma.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
There's four teams all within a few games three games
of each other. The Guardians, which is a dumb name,
should be the Indians, the Yankees, the Red Sox, and
the Mariners are all separated by three games in the
loss column. Seattle currently is in lead in the lead
in that anyway. All right, it is the Ben Mather show.
(36:59):
Time now for the who am I game? And a
blatant attempt to suck up to King Rory and all
the other cheese heads in Wisconsin and beyond. Pat Murphy.
Now he became the first Brewers manager to win manager
of the Year last season. He's now the leading candidate
to join me as the only manager to win consecutive
(37:22):
NL Manager of the Year awards. Pat Murphy or the
Brew Crew is the leader to win Manager of the
Year this season. He would become the back to back winner,
and he would join me as the only manager to
win consecutive NL Manager of the Year awards. Who am
I the answer? Next?

Schottenheimer temporary coach Brian Schottenheimer is up selling backup quarterback
(00:25):
Joe Milton, saying he throws quote piss missiles, compared him
to Brett Farv Is this something or nothing? Also, what
is your reaction to the viral clip of Cowboy wide
receiver Ceede Lamb, who didn't even play, getting trunked in
the game by the referee. Wow, he didn't play in
(00:45):
the game, but he was in a non game uniform
and got trucked. Also, what is your verdict on Brown's
quarterback Shuder Sanders confronting a Cleveland sports radio gas bag
over some negative commentary about out Shadur will go there
as well. All of it coming your way right now here.
It is our number one call him Joe cool Well
(01:11):
here on that good Welcome in the beginning of another
week of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We are in the air everywhere like teammates as we
provide a psychedelic brew coast the coast, border, the order
and beyond on the mast and hypnotically powerful microphones of

Speaker 1 (01:40):
The break as we break the huddle from the Fox
Sports Radio Studios as approved by mister Irrigation and his
new biggest fan, which will be can't close the deal
neal more than that later as we are broadcasting live

like mobile tire installation tire iraq dot com the way
(02:24):
tire bond should be. So I lead this hour, and
we survived the weekend and all that. Our lead this
hour from the Cowboys. Oh yeah, well why not? So
now Dallas played the Rams. I can't get into these
exhibition games. I can't. I know there are some people
that are better people than me that can talk about
these exhibition games. I can't do it. I just I can't.
(02:45):
I try to watch two seconds of them. I want
to puke in my mouth watching this crap. That being said,
that being said, I do have a talk show to
do right now. And there are some stories that came
out of these exhibition football games. One of them losing
to the Rams over the weekend in a practice game,
not real game, not real game, a practice game. We
(03:07):
Rams won, all right. So quarterback Joe Milton, quarterback Joe Milton,
who played for the Patriots last year now with the
Dallas Cowboys, and he played in that game, played a
lot in that game, did not do anything all that
memorable as the QB two for the Cowboys. It was
at meh, meh performance for Joe Milton, and that was
(03:32):
that left bruising his shoulder in the third quarter, so
he left the game early although he was likely going
to come out of the game anyway. Around that time.
He gave himself a D minus. He gave himself the
D the D minus grade on that. However, that's not
what I want to chat with you about. It will
lead up to that exhibition game. Coaches say the darnedest things.
(03:55):
We got a hum dinger, humdinger of a quote from
the coach, I say that loosely. Coach in Dallas. If
you did not hear what he said, perhaps not. Coach
Brian Schottenheimer shotze Brian Schottenheimer describing Joe Milton's passes as
quote piss missiles. That's what he said. That's a quote
(04:19):
from the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. When speaking
to reporters prior to that Cowboy exhibition game with the Rams,
he compared his throwing to that of Brett farre the
Hall of Fame former Green Bay Packer quarterback. So you
know what that means. Let's parse the words. Let's parse
the words here of the Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer as
(04:44):
we discuss so Brian Schottenheimer up selling obviously upselling backup
quarterback Joe Milton, saying that he throws quote piss missiles,
compared him to Brett Farv. Is this something or is
this nothing? All right? So I've got twister, hot tub,
(05:06):
and cinnabun. Cinnabun is so good, And we'll combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
the Gabba Ghoul. We're gonna make the Gabba gol. So a,
where's the beef? The first question is where is the beef.
This is a burger. It's not an in and out
(05:26):
Burger's not a McDonald's burger's not a whopper from Burger King.
It is a nothing burger, is what it is. It's
your typical coach hype Garbai garbais Listen, how many let
me ask a questions, how many quarterbacks have great arm
talent in the month of August? How many? The answer
(05:52):
all of them? Physically right, They're all listen, they're there,
They're in the NFL. They all can make all the
throws and all that stuff. So listen, Joe Milton, if
you look at the raw ingredients, he's a specimen. He's
got the prototypical cannon arm and mobilities, the whole deal,
(06:13):
and then some and then some, and the kind of
stuff that coaches and scouts get all horny for. They're,
oh man, the problem is it's all unprocessed. It is
all unprocessed. And you can throw a fastball and just
zing it downfield, and it can also go into the
fifteenth throw, and that's great. Can you consistently read the
(06:37):
defense and find the open receiver and all that? Can
you hit the open player more importantly underneath, when it's
third down and four or are you one of those
checked down Charlie guys, when it is I say third
and seven, and you complete a pass at the line
of scrimmage and then it gets five yards, so you
come up short, but your completion percentage is good. Milton
(06:59):
was least out of New England in part because Drake May,
who was the chosen one, the chosen one there with
the Patriots. Drake May was uncomfortable, so those around the
Patriots said, with Joe Milton. Which is odd because if
you look at the resume of the new Cowboy backup
(07:20):
quarterback here, Joe Milton, his biggest NFL moment, the thing
that stands out on his resume was a believe it
was Week eighteen last year, last year when he beat
the Buffalo bill backups backups in the final game of
the regular season, a meaningless game. That's it. That's the resume.
(07:43):
That's all. Now, regardless of that, you can't just overlook
the fact. And this is why I'm intrigued by this
to a point, not just the great quote from Schottenheimer
piss missile describing the throws, but the fact that you've
got the incompetent Dakota Prescott has QB won there in Dallas.
The man is made of toilet paper. And I'm not
(08:05):
talking about Scharman. I'm talking about one plied toilet paper
that you see at a truck stop on the side
of the Jersey Turnpike. That's what I'm talking about, that
one plied toilet paper. He's always hurt. And Jerry Jones
knows this. He's aware of this because it happens every
year where Dakota Prescott gets hurt. So Jerry Jones is
out there playing twister. Now nobody wants to see Jerry
(08:27):
Jones play twister. But Joe Milton is one twisted ankle
or twisted knee or you know, tweaked elbow away from
playing in the regular season for the Dallas Cowboys. And
while again piss missile, great quote, really good quote, wonderful. However,
Joe Milton, if you look at the comparison, it's like, well,
(08:51):
he certainly more of a JaMarcus Russell, although Russell was
the number one over of the old Oakland Raiders. I'm
old I remember the played in Oakland, and Brett Farv
certainly nowhere near Brett farrv Joe Milton in that category. Now,
we would enjoy, we would absolutely enjoy watching him play
(09:12):
in real game. Now. Why is that, I'll tell you
because of chaos with a capital C. Chaos with a
capital C here it could be awesome, right, real games.
So there's a little bit of intrigue there. Why not
see what he can do? But for now, we're doing
(09:32):
the show right now. For now, this is just a
nice puffy pastry in August, a nice delicious pastry served
up in August, and Brian Schottenheimer trying to build up
the player and give him some false confidence and all that,
and that's really what he's going for here. Now we
will revisit this. We're gonna file this one away. We're
(09:53):
gonna revisit this around week three when Dak Prescott feels
a twinge in his hamstring, and then we'll revisit all
this now. Page two, staying though, staying in Jerry's world
because we had a wonderful mall mate, a wonderful moment.
I did not see this live, but let me set
(10:14):
the scene here for you. So again, Cowboys preseason Cowboys
playing a nothing game against the Rams in the hood
in Inglewood on Saturday and Ceedee Lamb. That's a high
paid wide receiver, not an actual Lamb, a football player
named Lamb, Ceedee Lamb. So Ceedee Lamb doesn't even play
(10:36):
in the game. Why would he. He's a star, he's
a diva. Divas don't play. Stars don't play in these
first exhibition games. So fine, he didn't play in the game,
but he's there. He doesn't take a snap in the game.
He's not wearing a uniform. You're not able to take
a snap. And so somehow, some way, this player, Ceedee Lamb,
(10:58):
somehow manages to get the biggest hit of the game.
He was involved in the biggest end of the game.
Well how did he do that? I don't understand, all right,
So without even being in uniform again, we'll go back
to Joe Milton, the backup quarterback who played a lot
because this was an exhibition game. So Joe Milton is
in there, and he unquirks a deep pass down the
(11:19):
sideline to someone named Jonathan Mingo to the Mingo down
the sidelines, and Lamb who is standing there right on
that white painted area and that stripe on the sidelines
where you're not allowed to be that literally is the
get out of the way zone in football. And so
he's in the lane where the officials are running down
(11:41):
the field, and sure enough he starts celebrating like this
is the super Bowl. Of course, playing for the Cowboys,
they don't actually get to the Super Bowl, so you
have to celebrate these kind of things. And so he
was so engaged, so caught up into the moment. How
caught up was he, Ceede Limb. He was so caught
up he did not notice in his peripheral vision in
a bad situational awareness, did not notice the side judge
(12:04):
barely down the sideline in full sprint and ca boom
a cup boom. It was great, obliterated the side a
sideline judge there obliterated Ceedee Lamb from behind blind side
hit pancake in Madden on the blind side. Fifteen yard
(12:29):
penalty for the Cowboys for unsportsmanlike conduct. And it's good
to know that the coaches have changed, that the calendar
has changed, all of this has changed, all of this
has changed, and yet here we are. So my reaction
to that particular place, well, yes it was entertaining. It
(12:52):
was entertaining. I'll give you that but my reaction to
the cowboy wide receiver ceed Lamb being trucked in a
exit bishing game that he didn't even play in. I
loved it. This was exactly exactly the kind of dopey
stuff that the preseason is four. That was my first thought. Here,
(13:14):
what a bonehead move. And you can't keep your third
or fourth or fifth string this guy and that guy
and these battles. You know, some people into that kind
of stuff, the analytical crowds into that. Give me an
all pro level player in street close getting bulldozed by
(13:39):
a referee any day. NFL films, you know what they
need to do. They need to go in the hot
tub time machine. Go into the hot tub time machine
and bring back the classic, old school NFL's Greatest follies.
Bring that back and you can just stream it. You
don't have to do the DVD. You don't have to
(13:59):
do obviously the VHS that's old tech. But you can
bring back NFL's Greatest follies and slap Ceedee Lamb in
there right in between the mascot falling off the ATV
always a classic, always very entertaining. The quarterback who lines
up behind the guard not realizing where they are on
(14:21):
the field. That's also very entertaining. Put the Dunce cap
on him, and CD seemed to appreciate the fact that
he was the butt of the joke. After the game,
and I'm push you can have all the follies, the
usual follies, the fumbles, the ball bouncing off a player's helmet,
all that stuff just bobbled passes here, there and everywhere.
(14:45):
You know, guys slipping on the logo. And now you
can add ceedee lamb the Cowboy player not in uniform
and taking a shoulder from the side judge there like
he's running the Oklahoma drill. And it was very very
inut attending so instant classic and the rookie sock puppet
(15:06):
coach Brian Schottenheimer out there saying that CD knows better,
he knows better, and that is the Dallas Cowboys in
a nutshell. As we said, things change, the calendar changes,
the names change, the coaches changed, and all that. But
even in August, even in August, they're still drawing thumb
penalties for nothing, for nothing at all, preseason or regular season.
(15:32):
You can count on Dallas for one thing, entertainment at
their own expense, and they did it yet again. Now
turn the page on that last word. We go to Cleveland,
the Mistake by the Lake, That is where Shadur Sanders,
rookie quarterback Brownies out there over the weekend they played
(15:53):
the Panthers. Also, of course, all these games meaningless exhibition
games and all that stuff, and he apparently it was
very good. The numbers were good by all accounts, So
should ear Sanders went out there and looked like he
was back in Colorado and he was playing Colorado State
or Texas Tech and lighting up the stat sheet, except
he was wearing an NFL uniform and lighting up the
(16:15):
stat sheet in this game. That was not the story here. No, no, no, no,
that's not the story. The story here happened after the game,
not during the game, but after the game. And if
you saw this or heard about it, you know where
I'm going with this. Maybe not, he meaning Shuldar Sanders confronted,
(16:36):
confronted a long time Cleveland sports radio gas bag. And
I guess this guy works on the Browns broadcasts as well.
During the exhibition season in the tunnel, Tony GROSSI longtime
Cleveland media guy, and the Sanders was recorded there the
message to the sports radio gas bag. The message was
(17:00):
you always say negative stuff about me, never seen you
say anything positive. That was the gist of the quote.
So then you had Dion Sanders come out and he
made his comment. He was of course, he's the patriarch
of the family. And Dion Sanders insisting that Shudur Sanders
tunes out all the media rhetoric, all the noise from
(17:23):
the media, does not hear anything, all right, that's what
Dion was selling. He's oh no, no, he does not
know the narrative, does not know any of that stuff.
So what is your verdict? What is your verdict on
the Browns rookie quarterback Shoulder Sanders confronting a Cleveland sports
radio host over negative commentary about his play. So on
(17:48):
this one, as as Big Red would say, quoting Andy Reid,
film don't lie, Film don't lie. So if you watch
the film or hear the audio from the film, should
it was preseason game number one, number one number you
shredded guys. Congratulations. Who will be selling insurance or maybe
(18:11):
they'll be trying their hand at door dash next one
and try to deliver some sandwiches. But it's not the
super Bowl is not. I know, based on the prepondence
of the evidence, you might think it's the Super Bowl,
but it's not, and it is indisputable. It is indisputable.
Shoulder is a consumer of sports talk radio, So for that, Bravo,
(18:36):
he's listening. And to be perfectly clear, these guys are
always listening. And if they're not listening, they have relatives
who do listen and monitor everything that is said twenty
four hours a day, and they read every word about them.
Should there certainly is doing that, which is fine if
you're a fan. If you're the quarterback, that's bad news
(18:59):
brown is what that is? Bad news Browns here. Now
I get the fact. Listen, he's twenty three years old
and he grew up in a generation where everyone's got
a platform and you got to speak your mind, keep
it real, all that stuff right. However, the fact that
a rookie, a rookie quarterback, got time to in the
(19:19):
bowels of the stadium hunt down the sixty eight year
old radio guy in the tunnel not a great look.
It screams insecurity, is what. It screams insecurity. And you
gotta know time and place, time and place like there's
always a camera there and the radio guy. I don't
(19:41):
know this guy. I mean, we've talked about it a
few times over the years because he's gotten involved in
these type of situations. But he's been doing this job
for many, many decades. He's old school, he's got a
little bit of bite. And younger talk radio hosts they
do a lot of lists. They're lazy, they do a
lot of lists, and they don't have strong opinions. That's
the modern sports talk radio host The old school guys
(20:03):
though they would throw fire right, they would have a
flamethrow and all that. So I get there's a lot
of the social media fanboys out there that are, oh man,
should there's the goat because he had good numbers and
looked pretty good against a Carolina team backups for Carolina
in the first exhibition game, and you know, all excited
(20:24):
you completed a slant against a guy who will be
working the counter at the cinnabon at the airport in
Charlotte in a couple of weeks. And as far as
the critic, that's his job. And I go back a
refresher course, if you will, a reminder, a reminder, the
critic is the unleaded gasoline of sports that you need
(20:45):
that fuel, You need that fuel. Without it, the whole
thing is just vanilla ice cream. And it's unlistenable. If
you've ever heard a boring sports radio host, my god,
is there anything worse in the world than someone that's
just dull and boar has no opinion. It's horrible. But
every athlete, I mean, as long as I've been doing this,
every athlete, when they reach a peak, they reach the
(21:07):
top of the mountain there, it's always the hater that
is brought up. It's the they didn't think we could
do it. They didn't believe in us. This person didn't
believe in us. And yet they also say, well, I
don't listen to the noise and all that stuff. And
so Michael Jordan, the greatest ever to play basketball by
our country mile over every other stiff out there. Michael
(21:29):
Jordan had the slights right. The people have slighted him.
Tom Brady had that late round six round draft pick
thing that he wore on his shoulder there. And so
I guess sder now apparently has the chip with a
sports radio guy in Cleveland. So my advice, it's late
(21:50):
night radio advice here. Stop acting like a thin skinned
Instagram influencer and try to act the part, at least
pretend to act a part as an NFL quarterback. And
if you want sports radio gas bags, old school guys
that still have critique to say something positive about you,
(22:11):
then win actual games. Not against Carolina in week one
of the exhibition season. We're talking about December. We're talking
about dot down the line beating Baltimore in Baltimore out
playing Lamar Jackson. Do that and then everyone will be
shutting up quicker and faster than you can possibly imagine
until then. Until then, these guys will continue to stay
(22:34):
in business, and you know, you Shoder can stay mad
and angry and all that stuff. And so that's where
we are. It is the Ben Maeler Show. If you
want to be part, the lines are open here. It's
a brand new week. I had the rare and appropriate
couple of days away last week, so we are back.
If you'd like to be part eight seven seven ninety
(22:55):

If you'd want to be part of the show, you

Filling up the tip jar. We'll get to that, and
we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (23:17):

Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Hi, this is Jay.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I'm the producer of the Paul and Tony Fusco Show.
Usually in these promos they ask you to listen to
the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen
to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who
have the dumbest takes on sports imaginable. Don't listen to
the show so it can get cancels.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Thet get him pullynore that fool. Listen to the Tony
Fusco Show on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get
your podcast. He's still Moving, Bill Miller and you. It
is the Ben Maler Show on FU as we begin
the red Eye flight all night long, four hours as
(24:06):
we fly the friendly audio skies. And if you'd like
to be part of this show, you can interact. If
you're living the nocturnal life, working the third shift, settling in,
say hello on ex at Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahlor.
If you'd like to be part solo to Loraina FSR
Tech Queen and also cool at a Bronco fan, your
(24:30):
comments can and we'll be used against you in the
court of sports radio, so act accordingly. You can also
call in at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
and now back back to it, all right, well, and
back to it we go. We don't forget Big Malor
meet and Greek coming up, and we are closing in
(24:52):
on that. We'll be in Las Vegas, Lost Wages, Nevada
that's coming up on the twenty third of August, Vegas
hanging out and a location I have not been told
of at a time I have not been told of.
We believe it'll be from three till five at a
location to be officially announced in the next couple of days.
(25:15):
So just plan on if you're going to Vegas or
you're going to be there and you want to know
exactly where, we will let you know the venue, even
if we have to just meet somewhere on the street.
If we have to, we have to channel our buddy
Mouthwash Mike and just meet in front of the fountains
of the Blaggie or something like that. Oh my gosh,
we can do listine shooters. We could have a lot
of fun with Mouthwash Mike. Assuming he's not in jail
(25:36):
or in the hospital, we'll have a great time with him.
So that'll be coming up August twenty third in Vegas.
That's a Saturday. Look forward to that and hopefully you'll
be able to attend and be part of the fun
and we'll have a grand old time there. As the
next Malor Meet and greet in Las Vegas. King Rory
writes and says, I agree. The NFL preseason is a tough,
(25:59):
tough one. Instead of watching the Packers, I was watching
the hottest team, the majors, the Milwaukee Brewers. The sports
and the national media seemed to be ignoring them. But
they will have all of October to talk about them,
says King Rory. The brew crew. And I remember the
(26:20):
Brewers started. I think they're one to four to start
the year, King Rory, and they got smoked by the Yankees.
And the Yankees were using the turbo bat. Remember the
turbo bat. There were a lot of dumb people that
were like, oh my god, every home run record's gonna
be broken. Is that because of the size of the
differences the turbo bat, the thickness of the turbo bat.
(26:41):
They were very upset about that, and then turned out
to be a total zero. We don't even talk about
that anymore. It was it was a good story for
about ten days. It was a good story, and that
was it. But the Brewers, who looked like they had
never played baseball before, they just got some guys off
the streets, said hey, how would you like to play
in the major leagues? And then now they can't be stopped.
Now they cannot be stopped, and it's amusing, and I'm
(27:04):
guessing King Rory Achie said, you appreciate this. Then now
I was watching like the Cardinal Cub game on Sunday
night because there was nothing else on. So I'm watching
the Cardinals and the Cubs. In John Mozillak, the longtime
Saint Louis empty suit for the Cardinals, who's watched the
demise of the Cardinal franchise, the once proud Cardinal franchise
under his executive leadership, and he's like, well, you know,
(27:26):
we kind of model herself after the Milwaukee Brewers. The
Cardinals what to model themselves after the Milwaukee Boys Shane
and de Moyes says, welcome back, Ben. The seat filler
left the end of the bench, stepped up to the plate,
got walked a C minus and this is welcome back.
Blah blah blah blah blah. Robbie the Mariner fan says,
Brian Schottenheim are using my favorite phrase is disheartening to
(27:50):
say the least. The piss missile should be used to
describe cal Raleigh home runs and Josh Allen passes. Not
some crap back cowboy, backup, Brian Schottenheimer better not ruined
my favorite phrase, so he says. Nature Boy writes in
answering the call to the while he says that the
(28:12):
term piss missile is better than rectile dysfunction missile, but
that'll be coming later. Uncle Mark writes in, and didn't
know I did not have an uncle Mark, but I
guess I do now. Uncle Mark writes in says teams
are walking Otani to get to Mooky. Mookie isn't done,
am I in denial? Well, MOOKI, if you haven't watched,
(28:34):
has been stealing money for the first one hundred games
of the baseball season. I think he's this week He's
played better for the Doyers play a little bit better.
But you talk about a thief in the night, Mookie Betts,
who has been heading the wrong direction. You can look
at his three year numbers from twenty twenty three, twenty
twenty four to twenty twenty five, all the numbers across
(28:57):
the board, down, across the board down. You look at hits,
you look at extra base hits, home runs, runs batted in,
all the key numbers, batting average, your old school stats.
Mookie Bets's numbers have gone down. And you're right. The
Blue Jays didn't even worry about Mookie Bets. They intentionally
walked ough Tani to get to Mookie Bets, and it
(29:19):
worked out in the blue jays favor. In that random
game on Sunday, there you go, uh Brock right, since
it's too bad the Cowboys couldn't have taken Shadur, who
grew up in the Dallas area in the fourth round.
Oh yeah, they traded that pick for Jonathan Mingo. He says,
there you go, great, Jonathan Mingo. All right, it is
(29:42):
the Ben Maler Show. Let's go to the phones. We'll
say hello to Jackson, who's in Seattle. What's going on Jackson.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Oh, Ben Maller, So we talked about two months ago,
and it was rhether U, right around when cal Rawly
had thirty home runs.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
You remember, yes, I remember everyone that I ever talked to.
I am like rain Man. I remember every conversation I
have ever had on the radio.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Well, we talked about the husbands of sports fans getting
mad at you.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
You remember, yes.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Anyways, anyways, Ben Maller, out here you said, you said
that the cal Rawly had a chance in hell at
winning the MVP when he had twenty nine home runs
out here in Seattle. You sent me back to the
old McDonald how the.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Farm, remember, yes, of course? And so you you now
are have you decided? When did they Loraina? When did
they vote on the MVP? Did that happen? Was it
on Friday? Or was it Thursday? Yeah? When was that?
Because this is a victory call from Jackson, And see
who's about? Is he about to put the whammy on
the big dumpster? Is cal Rawley about to get hurt
(31:06):
because Jackson is prematurely celebrating an MVP award? Is he
about to jinx the big dumper?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
My god, Bow, you know what.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
What I'm just I'm just throwing that out there. I mean,
it seems like you're taking a bow.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
No, it's about take a bow for Eachiroo. Man, he's
getting he's getting indoctorated this weekend fifty one, We've got.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Guy saw, I saw. This is what you do when
you don't have a good team. You you celebrate your
old legends of the game. I got you, I know
you know what?
Speaker 5 (31:40):
What what? What? What?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
What do you want me to do? You're calling up
to take a victory lap for a guy to win
the MVP who hasn't won the MVP yet. And and oh,
by the way, at that time, Aaron Judge hadn't gotten
hurt and hadn't gone away for for a couple of
weeks or whatever. It was so uh so yes, at
the time, yes, all the everything that happened at that
time was absolutely spot on. And now things have changed
(32:06):
a little bit. However, it's not it's not over by
any means. It's not over. And the Seattle Mariners, last
I checked, there's still not a playoff team. The Yankees
are barely a playoff team at this point.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Shum runs ago and you told me that there was
a chance in hell that out here, And.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Are you repeating you? Are you repeating yourself? Are you
not repeating? Retire you been hunting him? Ben? Am I
in your head? What part of am I in the
front of your head or the back of your head?
What part of the head mine the middle? Am I
in the middle of your head? And what kind of
alcohol are we drinking tonight?
Speaker 5 (32:40):
Uh? We're on the IPA is but we're talking. We're talking. Uh,
southern Seattle. You know, southern Alaska?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Remember that's right. Well, Jimmy Johnson famously said, southern southern Alaska.
I do one of the great lines in television history. There.
They were so upset they had to go to Seattle
for the Fox pregame show. They were devastating. Yeah, congratulations Jackson,
what a what a great MVP. All right, all right,
(33:09):
I'm going to hang up on you. Thank you, Jackson.
Enjoy your IPAs there. Do not drive anywhere. There's a
Jackson completely sauced in Seattle. He doesn't sound as sauce
as that person who said he was driving last week.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Well.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, well, here's the thing. He's at home. He's a
professional Jackson. He's he's had a lot of alcohol, a
lot of nights drinking, so I hope he's got some
snacksh well, if or not, he'll have some delivery, So
filling up the tip jar. That would be one billionaire
athlete who just won three hundred and eighty nine thousand
(33:45):
dollars in prize money finishing in second place at something
called the White Marlin Open. That sounds racist, the White
Marlin Open. That would be none other than a guy
that used to be pretty good at basketball, Michael Jordan.
You see this, His airan is Michael Jordan. Over the weekend,
the long retired basketball player and bulls legend on an
(34:08):
eighty foot yacht named what else but Catch twenty three,
took home second place at the White Marlin Open in
Ocean City, Maryland this recent recent days here, earning three
hundred eighty nine thousand, three hundred and seventy seven dollars
in prize money. Now Trey Cricket McMillan from Charleston, South
(34:31):
Carolina was the angler for Jordan's boat, called a seventy
one pound White Marlin on Saturday over the weekend, so
Jordan getting an extra three hundred and eighty nine thousand.
The winning boat, Bill Fisher won three point nine to
one million in prize money. And that after a seventy
(34:54):
two pound marlin. That's a huge, not a not a
Florida Marlin or Miami marlond just a regular Maryland Marlon.
They're in Ocean City. So that Bill the Bill Fisher boat.
They now can say claim, hey we beat six time
NBA champion Michael Jordan. And so Jordan, who's got a
(35:15):
lot of money and a lot of free time, how
about this? Jordan is worth an estimated three point five
billion with a B three point five billion, and he's
out there futzing around. He gets three hundred and eighty nine.
Thus does he just give all of that to the
person on the boat who actually caught the fish? Does
he keep any of that? I don't know. But there's
(35:35):
Jordan there winning second place, getting the silver medal at
the Big White Marlin Open. How do you even pick
up a fish that big? It's so slippery, very carefully.
You have to work out a lot to pick up
the fish, and you don't want to drop it. Spock's
Weed writes in he's on the Oregon Trail and he says,
(35:56):
ipa beer rules there we go for me Ferg Dog says,
cal Rawly hasn't locked up anything. Last I checked, Mike
Trout is still the American in the American League, and
you can never leave him out of the MVP conversation,
says Ferg Dog, who's also hitting the IPA. Robbie the
Mariner fan says, is that Ed and Spokane's brother or something?
(36:18):
And they talked about Jackson. I promise not all big
Dumper enthusiasts are that dumb Mariners are currently a wild
card team, though, though he says so that is from
from the aforementioned Robbie the Mariner fan.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Ma.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
There's four teams all within a few games three games
of each other. The Guardians, which is a dumb name,
should be the Indians, the Yankees, the Red Sox, and
the Mariners are all separated by three games in the
loss column. Seattle currently is in lead in the lead
in that anyway. All right, it is the Ben Mather show.
(36:59):
Time now for the who am I game? And a
blatant attempt to suck up to King Rory and all
the other cheese heads in Wisconsin and beyond. Pat Murphy.
Now he became the first Brewers manager to win manager
of the Year last season. He's now the leading candidate
to join me as the only manager to win consecutive
(37:22):
NL Manager of the Year awards. Pat Murphy or the
Brew Crew is the leader to win Manager of the
Year this season. He would become the back to back winner,
and he would join me as the only manager to
win consecutive NL Manager of the Year awards. Who am
I the answer? Next?
