Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dilly Dilly, here we go. Welcome. It's our numbber whatd
our one of the original Recipe podcast, Happy Tuesday to you.
It's the twenty second day of July, and here in
our number one, Jerry Jones. It's all about Jerry Jerry's world.
Jerry Jones says he thought about stepping away as the
(00:21):
Cowboys gm Is that a big deal, a little deal
or no deal? Also, Micah Parsons is stuck in a
standoff with Jerry Jones. He reposted negative comments about Jerry,
claiming the Cowboys owner took a shot at both Parsons
and Dak Prescott for getting hurt where you at on
(00:43):
this one? And also, former Bills running back Nahim Hines
reached agreement on a contract with the Chargers. What stands
out about that addition? We'll get to that and more
right now here. It is our number one. That's Cowboy up,
Cowboy down, Cowboy everywhere. Welcome in the beginning of another
(01:10):
night of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
We are in the air everywhere in partnership as we
feel the rush coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
On the mast and zestfully powerful microphones of fsre ammating
live from the Army, as we are just foot soldiers
in the audio army that does not shut down, open
all night long. Here from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
as approved by our friend Timmy in Vegas, who we
(01:48):
met at the Mallard meeting we did last year Tammy,
Big Cheesehead Fan, and this portion of the Ben Malor
Show made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, IRAQ has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back by free Road has a
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire Installation tire
(02:12):
iraq dot Com the way tirebind should be. So we
are in the afterglow of the twenty twenty five Mallardpalooza.
I waited until just before the show and we posted it.
You can vote for the final four. There are four
acts that reached the pinnacle of the Malorpalooza. You can
(02:33):
vote for your favorite there that will be the People's champ,
the voice of the people, and you can chime in
on that. If you listen to the Mallarpolusa either live
or on the podcast. We had a bunch of acts,
some of them good, some of them will try to
pretend didn't happen. And we met through the night, we survived.
We hope for better in the future. But we did it,
(02:53):
and we thank you for participating, those of you that did.
And we'd like to have less comedy and more impersonations
and some other stuff. So nonetheless, our lead this out
not from me, mallapalooza, No, no, no, it is all
about Jerry's world. It's all about Jerry's world. So the
Dallas Cowboys are back. You'd expect daily Cowboy updates? Why
(03:18):
why not? What the hell? Right? So if you have
not been following the football news of the day, as
we are in the training camp portion of the schedule
with a cadrey of teams with rookies, some veterans with
certain teams have arrived. So if you haven't been following
all this, perhaps not. The Dallas Cowboys always good at
(03:38):
feeding the content machine in these parts, and they have
done it yet again, so Jerry Jones admitted recently. In fact,
in a gaggle with reporters, he admitted that there have
been moments that he thought about stepping away. He has
been the Dallas Cowboys GM entire life, well close to it.
(04:02):
But Jerry Jones said there were moments he thought about
stepping away as the general manager of the Cowboy's but
not very long, he said, not very long. Small fractions
of seconds, Jerry said. Jerry says he remains committed to
winning a Super Bowl, all right, very exciting and he
(04:23):
knows that now these of course older, it's in his
eighties now, he says, I'm living for now, Jerry Jones said,
So let us discuss the question. Jerry Jones going on
the record, Jerry Jones saying that he thought about stepping
away from the cowboy GM duties. Is this a big deal,
a little deal or no deal? Now? That is the question.
(04:47):
What is the answers? I've got Johnny Walker, Blue Pontoon, boat,
and casting call, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a delicious
banana cream pie, homemade banana cream pie, Chef's kiss. So
a to answer the question, this is no deal, right,
(05:11):
this is no deal now, Jerry said, small fractions of
seconds when claiming that he did contemplate stepping away as
the GM of the Dallas Cowboys that is not a reflection, Okay.
That that's like indigestion, is what it's like. I ate
a little too fast, you know, and I eat frozen food,
(05:32):
I eat ice cream or something like that. Sometimes I'll
that's sometimes it happens all the time. I'll eat it
too fast and then I get that ice cream headache.
You know, you got it. It's just terrible. And then it
goes away in like thirty seconds and you go right
back to doing what you were doing. And so Jerry
Jones saying, well, you know, it was small fractions of
(05:53):
a second, the seconds that I thought about no longer
being the Cowboys GM. That is the It's like the
moment but between eating taking a bite of a pastrami
sandwich and realizing you didn't take the napkin and there's
some mustard coming off the pastrami sandwich and it's gonna
get all over you and it's a problem. It is, right,
(06:14):
But Jerry Jones has been the Cowboys general manager since
Ronald Reagan was the president. He's not stepping down. He's
not He's just doubling down, is what he is. And
he's picking the groceries. And I don't blame man. People
goof on Jerry Jones and all that's fine to goof
on him, because the Cowboys have been an embarrassment for
over a generation. If I bought an NFL team and
(06:38):
I was in charge of the NFL, that's the fun part.
Who doesn't want to do the fun part. I don't
want to sit there and just hang out of cocktail parties.
I want to pick the players. And Jerry gets to
do that. He gets to pick the groceries the famous
old line by Bill Parcells years ago. And he gets
to rearrange the pantry and all that and then gives
(06:59):
a chef's kiss. Things go well, and when things don't
go well, he points at is his other people in
the kitchen and blames them Jerry Jones. The idea that
he would give up the general manager duties a non starter, right,
It's a non starter. That is his identity. It is
you know it, and I know it. He is the owner,
(07:19):
he's the GM. I'm pretty sure he takes care of
the catering. They have a catering business there, And I
would imagine that Jerry goes into the locker room and
decides what ply toilet paper, what ply toilet paper do
we give the cowboy players in the locker room, because really,
any think about it, that's an expense that you could
(07:40):
use that cheap one ply toilet paper where you end
up having to use an entire role for one flush,
and then you can use like the really high end
product you can get a costco which will cost you
a little bit more, and it adds up.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Jerry Jones also said, as we told, he's committed to
winning the Super Bowl and says he's living for now.
So what does that mean? So let's try to decipher
that part of the rhetoric from Jerry Jones. So it's
an encryptied message. Jerry saying I'm eighty two. He's saying
(08:15):
I'm eighty two and I think I can out scout
half of the NFL is essentially what Jerry is saying.
And he's not gonna use AI. He's not gonna use
the NERD numbers. He's gonna go with binoculars and gut feeling.
That is what's going He's not done need AI, no
point dexter, no analytics. Jerry's got his binoculars and he's
(08:38):
looking around and he's got he's probably got a clipboard
in a whistle and a number two pencil. And that's
how he does it. Because Jerry Jones is from the
old country. Jerry's from the old country. He's the kind
of guy who watches a college football game. I He'll
watch an SEC game on a Saturday afternoon and says,
(08:58):
you know, I think that kid at number fifty six
has got brass balls. I like the way that guy plays,
and I'm gonna draft that guy, even though he's not
projected to be drafted anywhere near the top of the job.
I'm gonna take him in the third round because he's
got a handshake like a linebacker supposed to have. And
that's what I want for the Dallas Cowboys. It is
(09:21):
ceremonial cosplay, is what it is. And know he's doubling
down on all this, which is fine for my job here.
I have to fill four hours of airtime every night,
so thank God for that. But Jerry is the last
of the Mohicans. You think about Jerry Jones, his place
in the football world, Jerry Jones, the last owner GM.
(09:43):
All right with the Cowboy. This is a throwback to
an era when it was a mom and pop business
and teams did not have world class gymnasiums and training
equipment and all that stuff. No, No, there was a
time I remember we used to have Fred Dryer in here,
was an NFL player for the Rams and was a
TV star, and Fred would tell stories about when he
(10:05):
was practicing with the La Rams back in the old days,
and before practice, the players on the team would have
to go pick up trash on the field so the
field was usable at some local high school in LA
they were practicing it. Do you imagine going to an
NFL locker room and saying, all right, buys, you gotta
clean up the rubbish on the field. We got some
(10:27):
debris out there so we can practice. Are you kidding me?
Do you know who I am? I can't be bothered?
What's wrong with you? So it's obviously the world. But
Jerry Jones a throwback to when the NFL is a
mom and pop business, and he'll be riding off into
the sunset someday with the draft board in one hand
(10:47):
and a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue in the other.
And he loves it. We all know he loves it.
The chaos, the drama, O rama, which is what he's
all about and in many ways, Jerry's not just the
the last of the mom and pop NFL ownership GM groups,
but he's also the last of the football romantics. He is, right,
(11:09):
I think Jerry Jones, we think about retirement for Jerry Jones, right,
that is a dirty word. That is like you might
as well say delegation that is you know, No, I
think Jerry thinks delegation is like a French pastry or
something like that. Now, page two. So Micah Parsons, he's
also out there the Cowboys waiting to the very end
(11:29):
there will they pay Michaeh. Parsons or not? Now my
belief is they'll wait till the eleventh hour and then
they'll sign Michah Parsons. But the standoff is continuing, and
it's good for business for the Dallas Cowboys. So the
standoff Jerry Jones on one side, Michah Parsons on the other,
and it's a urinating match right now. So Michah Parsons
(11:50):
reposted on the Socials some criticism by Jane Jay Wantt
that's a terrible broadcaster ex jock, claiming the Cowboys owner
took a shot at both Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott
for getting hurt. So where are you at on this one?
(12:12):
All right? So this is the give me a break?
All right? This is that, Please give me a break?
What is wrong with you, Michaeh Parsons is he's out
there acting If I'm reading the room the right way,
Michael Parson's out there acting like Jerry Jones just insulted
his mother, his siblings, his dog. I'm sure he's got
some anime. He loves all of that, just taking shots
(12:34):
at all of those things that are very important to
Michaeh Parsons. And really all the guy did say was
what he said, Hey, we paid Dak he got hurt.
We might pay Micah and he also got hurt last year.
So where I come from, that's not a personal attack.
(12:56):
Now maybe for you it's a personal thing. For me,
it's not a personal attack. That's Jerry Jones is doing
what Jerry Jones does better than anyone when it comes
to running your mouth. He is usane Bolt when it
comes to running running his mouth. And uh. And then
of course Micah can't help it, and he's got to
get in on this, so he clicks the repost and
then it's like he's filing a grievance with hr Are
(13:19):
you kidding me? Like, sirih, are you kidding me here?
Like this is the NFL. It's not some group therapy session.
You sit around the campfire and roast marshmallows and sing
Kumbaya and all that. You're supposed to be a pass
rushing beast. Micah Parsons right, defensive freak of nature. I
remember after two games a couple of years ago in
(13:40):
the Cowboys season when they played the Jets and the Giants,
the media had decided that Micah Parsons was the second Coming,
the reincarnation of Lawrence Taylor, and then they had to
play the rest of the games. So we got this
guy who's a freak on the field, and you're gonna
let your feelings get bent out of shape because an
(14:02):
eighty two year old owner say, hey, you missed some games, which,
by the way, you did, so I would advise you
to try to grow a spine. I think you can
probably take a pill or a supplement that will grow
a spine. That would be the way to go. I
might want to get some thicker skin and all that stuff.
We know that Jerry Jones is not buddy buddy. He's buddy,
(14:25):
but he's not buddy buddy with the players. He's buddy,
but he's the boss. There's that separation between management and
the players and all that. I mean, Jerry's always just
fishing for headlines, anyone, That's what this is all about.
And I am right there. Jerry's on a pontoon boat
and he's got a cooler full of cores light and
(14:46):
he is just loving this. He is loving it, all
of it. He can't get enough of it. And so
on this one mission accomplished, Mission accomplished. Michael Parsons weaponizing, Like,
we know what he's doing. He's weaponizing. This is what
he's do right, because he's stirring the pot, and he's
all this is so offensive to me. This is not right.
He's stirring the pot because he's going to use the
(15:10):
cowboy fanboys. He's going to use them to start screaming
pay Micah, you must pay Micah. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And of course Jerry will eventually eventually pay Mike Parsons.
We know that's going to happen. It's just gonna grab
more headlines. It's it's like stacking hotcakes on top of
each other. There's gonna be a headline. It's gonna be
a headline. And I said this in the past and
I will repeat it for those that are new to
the store and welcome into our store. We're open all night.
(15:43):
We don't close. There are no locks on the door.
But here's the thing. So Jerry must have been a
huge Bond fan. James Bond and Goldfinger. James Bond, remember
the scenes. The classic scene wasn't the first. I think
it was forget who there was somebody else that they
came up with this scene, but it's been copied a
(16:04):
million times in Hollywood. Where in this one James Bond
and Goldfingers handcuffed to the death and Destruction machine and
the clock is ticking down until kaboom and then of course, shockingly,
the machine of death, the Death and Destruction machine stops
(16:27):
with only seconds left on the clock and there we go.
We stopped. Fade to black Well that Michael Parsons is like,
that's what's gonna be. The Cowboys gonna wait till the
very end is gonna come down? Is it gonna be
right before the first game. It'll be one of those
Jay Glazers stories. On the NFL on Fox pregame where
it's like, oh, the Cowboys have announced they will announced
(16:48):
today that Michael Parsons has agreed to a new contract
and there you go. All right, last word quickly. So
former Bill's running back Nahem Hinz is back in the
NF Now he became infamous for doing the wrong thing
at the wrong time. So Nahemames Heines running back play
with the Cooles. Also, he has reached agreement on a
(17:09):
contract with the Chargers. Show me your lightning bolt, and
so what stands out about this one? So this is
the classic interchangeable parts because it's not just a depth
move by the Chargers. It's not that this is a
neon lit billboard flashing the neon. Woooooo, that's what neon
(17:34):
sounds like. Wooo. Just like that, the neon is flashing
and it's Naji Harris. Naji Harris's injury is really bad. Bad,
bad to the eyeball, bad to the eyeball. Now, remember
that was the big offseason edition running back one was
Naji Harris from Pittsburgh. He has already damaged. You don't
(17:56):
go fishing for a guy like Hines, na Heem hies
you don't go fishing for a guy like that. He's
been out of the NFL for not one, but two
two years, because you're like, well, you know, listen, we
just thought we'd add another extra running. This guy went
full Evil Knievel when he was in Buffalo on a
(18:19):
jet ski. This is a panic move by the Chargers.
Jim Harbaughs looking at the depth chart, He's like, man,
I want to run the ball. I want to run first.
I'm a running coach, and our running backs I don't
trust him. I don't trust him. And so he's panicking.
He's got a smile on his face. He's hiding behind
a curtain looking out on the practice field and he's
(18:40):
looking at the depth chart and it's like it's like
a receipt from CBS. Right. He keeps going and going
and going. Not all of quality. There's a lot of
stuff in there. The Chargers, by my count, have seven
running backs. Now that is not running back by committee.
Seven running backs. That is a casting call for dancing
(19:03):
with the depth chart is what Jim Harbaugh is doing
on this. And again I go back to Naji Harris
because that's really what this is, is a dad giveaway
that Naji Harris. We'd heard reports it was as I
was all messed up sucks, messing around with fireworks on
the fourth of July and the thing went wrong, ended
up in the hospital in northern California at Stanford, and
(19:23):
the agent's all, he'll be all, he'll be okay, he'll
be ready to go. Well, if it's a superficial eye injury,
and you already have a bunch of running six running backs,
now five, you're gonna add another running back? Come on, superficial,
my fat ass, that's superficial. So that is a PR
spin job. Spin spin, Spin is PR spin. It is
(19:43):
PR spin for we are not ready to admit how
bad it is. And so enter to the chat. Nahem Hines,
who has not played in the NFL since twenty twenty two.
So it's been a minute. That again jet ski accident
where he collided and it did not go well there.
(20:04):
He shredded his knee. We are told his knee looked
like pulled pork by the time they put that thing
back together. And so now he's trying to try to
come back with the Chargers. He did try to come
back with the Cleveland Browns and never saw the field
never saw the field, so this is again reached of desperation.
Himes was a pretty good ball player with the Colts
back in the day and showed a few flashes with Buffalo,
(20:27):
but that was before the pulled pork knee popped up.
It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you want to
react to that or anything else going on right now,
you are more than welcome your thoughts on the Mallard Plus.
I got some very interesting email reaction from the Mallard pluses.
Some people that liked it, Some people said we should
never do it again, that I should be fired for
doing that, that it was I went a wall on
(20:48):
the charter of the company. I didn't realize I went
that far by putting people on doing comedy and singing.
But either way, you can join us right now at

(24:11):
the court of sports radio. So act accordingly and now
back to it. Right back to it we go. Who's
your Bill Wrights and says he have been. David Vesa
works forty seven minutes a night. He's living the dream.
You are in Philly one hundred and seven degrees ten
(24:31):
day road trip, Ben, you are a genius. Well, thank you. Yes, Bill,
doing four hours of overnight talk radio as clearly not
doing one hour of Dodger propaganda, which is what he
often does. Late night drug tester says, I have no
experience as an NFL scout. But h wouldn't a player
(24:52):
with brass balls have a slower forty time? Well, it's possible.
You wouldn't want a guy with brass balls to play
wide receiver back. That's a great point, late night drug tester,
How old I see your balls? Sir? No, seriously. Now,
if we're gonna break this down, because that's what we
do in sports rare, let's talk about brass balls. So
if somebody's got brass balls, you put them at linebacker,
you put them at safety, you put them at defensive
(25:14):
tackle because they got brass balls. How about how about
a left tackle. You're gonna try to get to the quarterback?
My left tackle's got brass balls. Good luck, Good luck.
Ferg Dog writes and says, can I vote for Tony
in the Bay Area as a right in candidate? His
David Vassi joke still has me chuckling. Tom writes in
(25:39):
Tom a longtime supporter of the show, He says he's
just a regular, hardworking American trying to get along with everybody.
You're in the wrong place on social media, he says,
I don't really like him, but in the spirit of
the contest, keg drinking Steve gets my vote. Spock's Weed
writes in on the Oregon Trail. He says, so Jerry
(25:59):
Jones with his ego super ego, he's like the Freudian
analysis and all that pretends for a micro second he
can let go. Instead, he wants to keep running his
team like mean girls and get his players to play
all the roles. Yes, a little bit, absolutely circumcising a mosquito.
(26:23):
Eileen Wright Sin says, a congratulatory enchanted tiki room dole
whip to all contestants. Only problem with a doll whip
it's got it should be a lot bigger, right? Can
we all agree on that that they short change you?
Did you get one when you went by? I did
get which flavor? Did you get? Traditional? Pineapple? I'm a
traditionalist pineapple. They just dropped the peach flavor, and I
(26:44):
really want to try it. I love peach flavored things.
You do? Do you like peaches?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Though? I?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Do you do? Okay?
Speaker 6 (26:51):
How fuzzy are.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You like to pet them? Like to see your cat
or something like that? I got you? All right, super
Marcus Steve, says, al Davis. To this day is still
considered a great football mind because he used to draft
the biggest and fastest players. No crap, Jerry Jones is
just looking for the same kind of courtesy, he says. Now,
Supermarket Steve, he said a manifesto. He says, I'm really
(27:15):
starting to think it's malicious now that Vassay covers up
your show. He is still talking about a six to
two Dodgers win over the blank Twins in a game
that ended two hours ago, and he says on Friday
and Saturday nights, Vess is out the door before the
show begins. He says, well, I will have to check
(27:37):
with the management. But the great thing about this show is,
you know, Supermarkets Steve, is whether we're covered up on
one station, we're still on over six hundred other stations.
So for the internet, and you can always listen on
the iHeart Radio app, so we don't have to worry
about that. Back in the old days, you'd have some issues.
We'll get to the number one sports collective, number one
(27:59):
of twenty twenty five, and Mallard Palooza took a vote
on that. That's pretty funny. That's that's not it. But
I wish they sold that we could we could have
that for sure. All right, it is the Ben Maler.
So let's go to the phones right now, and who
do we have? Eeny meanie mighty molls. Move this over here,
and he's here. Let's say hello do we e dog
(28:22):
who shockingly was not part of the mallor paloza, but
he's he's in New York. Hello e dog, Welcome, hey
Ben went out?
Speaker 6 (28:29):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (28:30):

Kop doesn't even know who Jeene Stallings is. Eh, yeah,
the old football coach back in the day. All right,

Speaker 6 (31:37):
They're both ex cardinals who know nothing about football.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Do you have any jokes that aren't forty years old? No?
Speaker 6 (31:49):
I got a I got a funny story to tell
you about my dad, who has some.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I will I will promise you it's not funny.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
We'll see. Okay, here it is. My dad took me
to the bank, right, and he said to the teller,
I want.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
To give you.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
I want to give my son Eric a gift. So

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, I gotta I gotta go, thank you, Okay, Yes,
Scrooge rights and says it will be nice Scrooges in
Northern California. He hides behind his smartphone, does not have
the brass balls to call the show. He says, it'll
be nice listening to the same seven callers tonight. I
(32:53):
need to recover from all the trauma I heard from
yesterday's show. Can we get him a miniature horse, like
a recovery little horse seed to recover a blank? Ye?
And all that Terry in England, says Keg drinking Steve
represents the Mala militia and it's true spirit. As talented
as Jay Scoop in Ohio, al are. They are the
(33:15):
Hamptons of us. We need the raw, drunken, drug addicted lunatics.
That'd be Terry in England. That said that, and there
is a surprise in the early polling, and it is
a bit of a surprise in fact, it's right now,
it's tied up. We are very early. We have a
whole day to go on this thing, so we'll have
(33:37):
hundreds of votes, hundreds and hundreds of votes that'll come in.
But it's early on and I am genuinely surprised that
one of the acts is in the lead tied for
the lead here because that would not be my vote.
And I'm also a little disappointed with the act that
is bringing up the rear, that is the caboose. He
sot'll disappoint you want to vote on that? On Axe,
(33:58):
it's pinned to the top of the ben male profile.
On X, who gets the vote as the winner of
the twenty twenty five mallor Palooza, the vote of the people,
pulse of the people. You can vote right here, go
to X one per account unless you can figure out
the analytics on that and riggitt. Remember one year we
(34:19):
did the vote on the Benny Awards and a guy,
oh no, it wasn't. It wasn't even the Beny, it
was the name the team contest. When the Rams were
in Saint Louis. Every year I would pick a new
NFL team, and for a while people loved me and
they were getting me, like the Patriots when they were good,
when they had Brady, and so I'd follow that team
(34:40):
for the year, and then somebody figured out how to
screw up the vote, and so then I became like
a fan of the Browns and the Jets and the Jaguars.
That was terrible. And the Raiders when they were just
got awful, sucked out loud, not right, not right? Well,
you know it is right. The play of the day
(35:01):
and the play of the day brought to you by
tire i Raq and who else but the phenom the

Air Force at the Air Force Academy there, has a
one point nine to seven earn run average in his

the live ball era, breaking my record. Who am I?
The answer? We'll get to it. We will do it next.
Speaker 3 (36:54):

You have to please when you tease. So the hottest
(38:02):
sports collectible of twenty twenty five, that would be the
five hundred dollars Happy Gilmore Putter. Yeah, Callaway's five hundred
dollars Happy Gilmore Putter. This is a partnership deal as
the new Happy Gilmore coming out on Netflix and this
(38:25):
thing blowing up, blowing up, I believe, I guess I'm Friday.
I think they drop it. The New Happy Gilmore movie
and Adam Silver and all that. They in an effort
to promote it. They tossed this out first Happy Gilmore
since nineteen ninety six, and these things are all gone.
(38:48):
And the hottest item you can get now, how do
I notice? The hottest item you get? The secondary market,
the resale market of the limited edition hockey stick putter booming.
It sold out and on the secondary market they sold
this online also, I guess like Dick's Sporting Goods places
(39:10):
like that, you could get it. Give me a little
taste of that day. Lasted forty eight hours, forty eight hours,
and on the resale market, this thing, I'm blowing up listings.
As of a few hours ago. Most of the listings
were added around one thousand dollars. There was one listed
(39:34):
for three thousand dollars shortly after these things became available.
So that is it. Everyone wants their hands on that
nice putter, Putt putt. I didn't notice though the putter
no Boston Bruin logo on it, because I guess they
did not get a deal with the NHL. But it's
got the Bruins colors, but it does not have the logo.

Dilly Dilly, here we go. Welcome. It's our numbber whatd
our one of the original Recipe podcast, Happy Tuesday to you.
It's the twenty second day of July, and here in
our number one, Jerry Jones. It's all about Jerry Jerry's world.
Jerry Jones says he thought about stepping away as the
(00:21):
Cowboys gm Is that a big deal, a little deal
or no deal? Also, Micah Parsons is stuck in a
standoff with Jerry Jones. He reposted negative comments about Jerry,
claiming the Cowboys owner took a shot at both Parsons
and Dak Prescott for getting hurt where you at on
(00:43):
this one? And also, former Bills running back Nahim Hines
reached agreement on a contract with the Chargers. What stands
out about that addition? We'll get to that and more
right now here. It is our number one. That's Cowboy up,
Cowboy down, Cowboy everywhere. Welcome in the beginning of another
(01:10):
night of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
We are in the air everywhere in partnership as we
feel the rush coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
On the mast and zestfully powerful microphones of fsre ammating
live from the Army, as we are just foot soldiers
in the audio army that does not shut down, open
all night long. Here from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
as approved by our friend Timmy in Vegas, who we
(01:48):
met at the Mallard meeting we did last year Tammy,
Big Cheesehead Fan, and this portion of the Ben Malor
Show made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, IRAQ has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back by free Road has a
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire Installation tire
(02:12):
iraq dot Com the way tirebind should be. So we
are in the afterglow of the twenty twenty five Mallardpalooza.
I waited until just before the show and we posted it.
You can vote for the final four. There are four
acts that reached the pinnacle of the Malorpalooza. You can
(02:33):
vote for your favorite there that will be the People's champ,
the voice of the people, and you can chime in
on that. If you listen to the Mallarpolusa either live
or on the podcast. We had a bunch of acts,
some of them good, some of them will try to
pretend didn't happen. And we met through the night, we survived.
We hope for better in the future. But we did it,
(02:53):
and we thank you for participating, those of you that did.
And we'd like to have less comedy and more impersonations
and some other stuff. So nonetheless, our lead this out
not from me, mallapalooza, No, no, no, it is all
about Jerry's world. It's all about Jerry's world. So the
Dallas Cowboys are back. You'd expect daily Cowboy updates? Why
(03:18):
why not? What the hell? Right? So if you have
not been following the football news of the day, as
we are in the training camp portion of the schedule
with a cadrey of teams with rookies, some veterans with
certain teams have arrived. So if you haven't been following
all this, perhaps not. The Dallas Cowboys always good at
(03:38):
feeding the content machine in these parts, and they have
done it yet again, so Jerry Jones admitted recently. In fact,
in a gaggle with reporters, he admitted that there have
been moments that he thought about stepping away. He has
been the Dallas Cowboys GM entire life, well close to it.
(04:02):
But Jerry Jones said there were moments he thought about
stepping away as the general manager of the Cowboy's but
not very long, he said, not very long. Small fractions
of seconds, Jerry said. Jerry says he remains committed to
winning a Super Bowl, all right, very exciting and he
(04:23):
knows that now these of course older, it's in his
eighties now, he says, I'm living for now, Jerry Jones said,
So let us discuss the question. Jerry Jones going on
the record, Jerry Jones saying that he thought about stepping
away from the cowboy GM duties. Is this a big deal,
a little deal or no deal? Now? That is the question.
(04:47):
What is the answers? I've got Johnny Walker, Blue Pontoon, boat,
and casting call, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a delicious
banana cream pie, homemade banana cream pie, Chef's kiss. So
a to answer the question, this is no deal, right,
(05:11):
this is no deal now, Jerry said, small fractions of
seconds when claiming that he did contemplate stepping away as
the GM of the Dallas Cowboys that is not a reflection, Okay.
That that's like indigestion, is what it's like. I ate
a little too fast, you know, and I eat frozen food,
(05:32):
I eat ice cream or something like that. Sometimes I'll
that's sometimes it happens all the time. I'll eat it
too fast and then I get that ice cream headache.
You know, you got it. It's just terrible. And then it
goes away in like thirty seconds and you go right
back to doing what you were doing. And so Jerry
Jones saying, well, you know, it was small fractions of
(05:53):
a second, the seconds that I thought about no longer
being the Cowboys GM. That is the It's like the
moment but between eating taking a bite of a pastrami
sandwich and realizing you didn't take the napkin and there's
some mustard coming off the pastrami sandwich and it's gonna
get all over you and it's a problem. It is, right,
(06:14):
But Jerry Jones has been the Cowboys general manager since
Ronald Reagan was the president. He's not stepping down. He's
not He's just doubling down, is what he is. And
he's picking the groceries. And I don't blame man. People
goof on Jerry Jones and all that's fine to goof
on him, because the Cowboys have been an embarrassment for
over a generation. If I bought an NFL team and
(06:38):
I was in charge of the NFL, that's the fun part.
Who doesn't want to do the fun part. I don't
want to sit there and just hang out of cocktail parties.
I want to pick the players. And Jerry gets to
do that. He gets to pick the groceries the famous
old line by Bill Parcells years ago. And he gets
to rearrange the pantry and all that and then gives
(06:59):
a chef's kiss. Things go well, and when things don't
go well, he points at is his other people in
the kitchen and blames them Jerry Jones. The idea that
he would give up the general manager duties a non starter, right,
It's a non starter. That is his identity. It is
you know it, and I know it. He is the owner,
(07:19):
he's the GM. I'm pretty sure he takes care of
the catering. They have a catering business there, And I
would imagine that Jerry goes into the locker room and
decides what ply toilet paper, what ply toilet paper do
we give the cowboy players in the locker room, because really,
any think about it, that's an expense that you could
(07:40):
use that cheap one ply toilet paper where you end
up having to use an entire role for one flush,
and then you can use like the really high end
product you can get a costco which will cost you
a little bit more, and it adds up.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Jerry Jones also said, as we told, he's committed to
winning the Super Bowl and says he's living for now.
So what does that mean? So let's try to decipher
that part of the rhetoric from Jerry Jones. So it's
an encryptied message. Jerry saying I'm eighty two. He's saying
(08:15):
I'm eighty two and I think I can out scout
half of the NFL is essentially what Jerry is saying.
And he's not gonna use AI. He's not gonna use
the NERD numbers. He's gonna go with binoculars and gut feeling.
That is what's going He's not done need AI, no
point dexter, no analytics. Jerry's got his binoculars and he's
(08:38):
looking around and he's got he's probably got a clipboard
in a whistle and a number two pencil. And that's
how he does it. Because Jerry Jones is from the
old country. Jerry's from the old country. He's the kind
of guy who watches a college football game. I He'll
watch an SEC game on a Saturday afternoon and says,
(08:58):
you know, I think that kid at number fifty six
has got brass balls. I like the way that guy plays,
and I'm gonna draft that guy, even though he's not
projected to be drafted anywhere near the top of the job.
I'm gonna take him in the third round because he's
got a handshake like a linebacker supposed to have. And
that's what I want for the Dallas Cowboys. It is
(09:21):
ceremonial cosplay, is what it is. And know he's doubling
down on all this, which is fine for my job here.
I have to fill four hours of airtime every night,
so thank God for that. But Jerry is the last
of the Mohicans. You think about Jerry Jones, his place
in the football world, Jerry Jones, the last owner GM.
(09:43):
All right with the Cowboy. This is a throwback to
an era when it was a mom and pop business
and teams did not have world class gymnasiums and training
equipment and all that stuff. No, No, there was a
time I remember we used to have Fred Dryer in here,
was an NFL player for the Rams and was a
TV star, and Fred would tell stories about when he
(10:05):
was practicing with the La Rams back in the old days,
and before practice, the players on the team would have
to go pick up trash on the field so the
field was usable at some local high school in LA
they were practicing it. Do you imagine going to an
NFL locker room and saying, all right, buys, you gotta
clean up the rubbish on the field. We got some
(10:27):
debris out there so we can practice. Are you kidding me?
Do you know who I am? I can't be bothered?
What's wrong with you? So it's obviously the world. But
Jerry Jones a throwback to when the NFL is a
mom and pop business, and he'll be riding off into
the sunset someday with the draft board in one hand
(10:47):
and a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue in the other.
And he loves it. We all know he loves it.
The chaos, the drama, O rama, which is what he's
all about and in many ways, Jerry's not just the
the last of the mom and pop NFL ownership GM groups,
but he's also the last of the football romantics. He is, right,
(11:09):
I think Jerry Jones, we think about retirement for Jerry Jones, right,
that is a dirty word. That is like you might
as well say delegation that is you know, No, I
think Jerry thinks delegation is like a French pastry or
something like that. Now, page two. So Micah Parsons, he's
also out there the Cowboys waiting to the very end
(11:29):
there will they pay Michaeh. Parsons or not? Now my
belief is they'll wait till the eleventh hour and then
they'll sign Michah Parsons. But the standoff is continuing, and
it's good for business for the Dallas Cowboys. So the
standoff Jerry Jones on one side, Michah Parsons on the other,
and it's a urinating match right now. So Michah Parsons
(11:50):
reposted on the Socials some criticism by Jane Jay Wantt
that's a terrible broadcaster ex jock, claiming the Cowboys owner
took a shot at both Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott
for getting hurt. So where are you at on this one?
(12:12):
All right? So this is the give me a break?
All right? This is that, Please give me a break?
What is wrong with you, Michaeh Parsons is he's out
there acting If I'm reading the room the right way,
Michael Parson's out there acting like Jerry Jones just insulted
his mother, his siblings, his dog. I'm sure he's got
some anime. He loves all of that, just taking shots
(12:34):
at all of those things that are very important to
Michaeh Parsons. And really all the guy did say was
what he said, Hey, we paid Dak he got hurt.
We might pay Micah and he also got hurt last year.
So where I come from, that's not a personal attack.
(12:56):
Now maybe for you it's a personal thing. For me,
it's not a personal attack. That's Jerry Jones is doing
what Jerry Jones does better than anyone when it comes
to running your mouth. He is usane Bolt when it
comes to running running his mouth. And uh. And then
of course Micah can't help it, and he's got to
get in on this, so he clicks the repost and
then it's like he's filing a grievance with hr Are
(13:19):
you kidding me? Like, sirih, are you kidding me here?
Like this is the NFL. It's not some group therapy session.
You sit around the campfire and roast marshmallows and sing
Kumbaya and all that. You're supposed to be a pass
rushing beast. Micah Parsons right, defensive freak of nature. I
remember after two games a couple of years ago in
(13:40):
the Cowboys season when they played the Jets and the Giants,
the media had decided that Micah Parsons was the second Coming,
the reincarnation of Lawrence Taylor, and then they had to
play the rest of the games. So we got this
guy who's a freak on the field, and you're gonna
let your feelings get bent out of shape because an
(14:02):
eighty two year old owner say, hey, you missed some games, which,
by the way, you did, so I would advise you
to try to grow a spine. I think you can
probably take a pill or a supplement that will grow
a spine. That would be the way to go. I
might want to get some thicker skin and all that stuff.
We know that Jerry Jones is not buddy buddy. He's buddy,
(14:25):
but he's not buddy buddy with the players. He's buddy,
but he's the boss. There's that separation between management and
the players and all that. I mean, Jerry's always just
fishing for headlines, anyone, That's what this is all about.
And I am right there. Jerry's on a pontoon boat
and he's got a cooler full of cores light and
(14:46):
he is just loving this. He is loving it, all
of it. He can't get enough of it. And so
on this one mission accomplished, Mission accomplished. Michael Parsons weaponizing, Like,
we know what he's doing. He's weaponizing. This is what
he's do right, because he's stirring the pot, and he's
all this is so offensive to me. This is not right.
He's stirring the pot because he's going to use the
(15:10):
cowboy fanboys. He's going to use them to start screaming
pay Micah, you must pay Micah. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And of course Jerry will eventually eventually pay Mike Parsons.
We know that's going to happen. It's just gonna grab
more headlines. It's it's like stacking hotcakes on top of
each other. There's gonna be a headline. It's gonna be
a headline. And I said this in the past and
I will repeat it for those that are new to
the store and welcome into our store. We're open all night.
(15:43):
We don't close. There are no locks on the door.
But here's the thing. So Jerry must have been a
huge Bond fan. James Bond and Goldfinger. James Bond, remember
the scenes. The classic scene wasn't the first. I think
it was forget who there was somebody else that they
came up with this scene, but it's been copied a
(16:04):
million times in Hollywood. Where in this one James Bond
and Goldfingers handcuffed to the death and Destruction machine and
the clock is ticking down until kaboom and then of course, shockingly,
the machine of death, the Death and Destruction machine stops
(16:27):
with only seconds left on the clock and there we go.
We stopped. Fade to black Well that Michael Parsons is like,
that's what's gonna be. The Cowboys gonna wait till the
very end is gonna come down? Is it gonna be
right before the first game. It'll be one of those
Jay Glazers stories. On the NFL on Fox pregame where
it's like, oh, the Cowboys have announced they will announced
(16:48):
today that Michael Parsons has agreed to a new contract
and there you go. All right, last word quickly. So
former Bill's running back Nahem Hinz is back in the
NF Now he became infamous for doing the wrong thing
at the wrong time. So Nahemames Heines running back play
with the Cooles. Also, he has reached agreement on a
(17:09):
contract with the Chargers. Show me your lightning bolt, and
so what stands out about this one? So this is
the classic interchangeable parts because it's not just a depth
move by the Chargers. It's not that this is a
neon lit billboard flashing the neon. Woooooo, that's what neon
(17:34):
sounds like. Wooo. Just like that, the neon is flashing
and it's Naji Harris. Naji Harris's injury is really bad. Bad,
bad to the eyeball, bad to the eyeball. Now, remember
that was the big offseason edition running back one was
Naji Harris from Pittsburgh. He has already damaged. You don't
(17:56):
go fishing for a guy like Hines, na Heem hies
you don't go fishing for a guy like that. He's
been out of the NFL for not one, but two
two years, because you're like, well, you know, listen, we
just thought we'd add another extra running. This guy went
full Evil Knievel when he was in Buffalo on a
(18:19):
jet ski. This is a panic move by the Chargers.
Jim Harbaughs looking at the depth chart, He's like, man,
I want to run the ball. I want to run first.
I'm a running coach, and our running backs I don't
trust him. I don't trust him. And so he's panicking.
He's got a smile on his face. He's hiding behind
a curtain looking out on the practice field and he's
(18:40):
looking at the depth chart and it's like it's like
a receipt from CBS. Right. He keeps going and going
and going. Not all of quality. There's a lot of
stuff in there. The Chargers, by my count, have seven
running backs. Now that is not running back by committee.
Seven running backs. That is a casting call for dancing
(19:03):
with the depth chart is what Jim Harbaugh is doing
on this. And again I go back to Naji Harris
because that's really what this is, is a dad giveaway
that Naji Harris. We'd heard reports it was as I
was all messed up sucks, messing around with fireworks on
the fourth of July and the thing went wrong, ended
up in the hospital in northern California at Stanford, and
(19:23):
the agent's all, he'll be all, he'll be okay, he'll
be ready to go. Well, if it's a superficial eye injury,
and you already have a bunch of running six running backs,
now five, you're gonna add another running back? Come on, superficial,
my fat ass, that's superficial. So that is a PR
spin job. Spin spin, Spin is PR spin. It is
(19:43):
PR spin for we are not ready to admit how
bad it is. And so enter to the chat. Nahem Hines,
who has not played in the NFL since twenty twenty two.
So it's been a minute. That again jet ski accident
where he collided and it did not go well there.
(20:04):
He shredded his knee. We are told his knee looked
like pulled pork by the time they put that thing
back together. And so now he's trying to try to
come back with the Chargers. He did try to come
back with the Cleveland Browns and never saw the field
never saw the field, so this is again reached of desperation.
Himes was a pretty good ball player with the Colts
back in the day and showed a few flashes with Buffalo,
(20:27):
but that was before the pulled pork knee popped up.
It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you want to
react to that or anything else going on right now,
you are more than welcome your thoughts on the Mallard Plus.
I got some very interesting email reaction from the Mallard pluses.
Some people that liked it, Some people said we should
never do it again, that I should be fired for
doing that, that it was I went a wall on
(20:48):
the charter of the company. I didn't realize I went
that far by putting people on doing comedy and singing.
But either way, you can join us right now at

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Bill Miller, here it is the Ben Maler Show, up
all night, every single night. Did you take part in
the Mallard Palooza, the twenty twenty five vintage of the
Mallard Pollosa? Were you listening? Were you consuming the acts?
Do you want your voice heard? Go on social media
right now. It's pinned to the very top of the
Ben Mahler x page. One vote, one vote only per customer.
(23:03):
The pulling just opened up. We're gonna leave it open
for those people working the dreaded day shift. And the
question is who gets your vote as the winner of
the twenty twenty five Malar Palooza. Who the pulse of
the people? The final four? Now we voted on this
show for Jay Scoop and Just Josh. They are there.
(23:25):
They won the vote in studio with our friend Inka
terror Ohio Al is also in the running. Key Drinking
Steve is there as well, and the comedy duo, the
kid comedy duo of Bennett and his younger sister Valerie,
who vote for them as well. Good luck to all
(23:49):
who we crowned the people's champ of the Malor Palooza.
Stay tuned. You can interact with the show on x
at Ben Mahler. That's at Ben Mahler. Also FSR Tech
Queen and Koop. A little bet Uh Bronco fan in
your comments can and will be used against you in
(24:11):
the court of sports radio. So act accordingly and now
back to it. Right back to it we go. Who's
your Bill Wrights and says he have been. David Vesa
works forty seven minutes a night. He's living the dream.
You are in Philly one hundred and seven degrees ten
(24:31):
day road trip, Ben, you are a genius. Well, thank you. Yes, Bill,
doing four hours of overnight talk radio as clearly not
doing one hour of Dodger propaganda, which is what he
often does. Late night drug tester says, I have no
experience as an NFL scout. But h wouldn't a player
(24:52):
with brass balls have a slower forty time? Well, it's possible.
You wouldn't want a guy with brass balls to play
wide receiver back. That's a great point, late night drug tester,
How old I see your balls? Sir? No, seriously. Now,
if we're gonna break this down, because that's what we
do in sports rare, let's talk about brass balls. So
if somebody's got brass balls, you put them at linebacker,
you put them at safety, you put them at defensive
(25:14):
tackle because they got brass balls. How about how about
a left tackle. You're gonna try to get to the quarterback?
My left tackle's got brass balls. Good luck, Good luck.
Ferg Dog writes and says, can I vote for Tony
in the Bay Area as a right in candidate? His
David Vassi joke still has me chuckling. Tom writes in
(25:39):
Tom a longtime supporter of the show, He says he's
just a regular, hardworking American trying to get along with everybody.
You're in the wrong place on social media, he says,
I don't really like him, but in the spirit of
the contest, keg drinking Steve gets my vote. Spock's Weed
writes in on the Oregon Trail. He says, so Jerry
(25:59):
Jones with his ego super ego, he's like the Freudian
analysis and all that pretends for a micro second he
can let go. Instead, he wants to keep running his
team like mean girls and get his players to play
all the roles. Yes, a little bit, absolutely circumcising a mosquito.
(26:23):
Eileen Wright Sin says, a congratulatory enchanted tiki room dole
whip to all contestants. Only problem with a doll whip
it's got it should be a lot bigger, right? Can
we all agree on that that they short change you?
Did you get one when you went by? I did
get which flavor? Did you get? Traditional? Pineapple? I'm a
traditionalist pineapple. They just dropped the peach flavor, and I
(26:44):
really want to try it. I love peach flavored things.
You do? Do you like peaches?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Though? I?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Do you do? Okay?
Speaker 6 (26:51):
How fuzzy are.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You like to pet them? Like to see your cat
or something like that? I got you? All right, super
Marcus Steve, says, al Davis. To this day is still
considered a great football mind because he used to draft
the biggest and fastest players. No crap, Jerry Jones is
just looking for the same kind of courtesy, he says. Now,
Supermarket Steve, he said a manifesto. He says, I'm really
(27:15):
starting to think it's malicious now that Vassay covers up
your show. He is still talking about a six to
two Dodgers win over the blank Twins in a game
that ended two hours ago, and he says on Friday
and Saturday nights, Vess is out the door before the
show begins. He says, well, I will have to check
(27:37):
with the management. But the great thing about this show is,
you know, Supermarkets Steve, is whether we're covered up on
one station, we're still on over six hundred other stations.
So for the internet, and you can always listen on
the iHeart Radio app, so we don't have to worry
about that. Back in the old days, you'd have some issues.
We'll get to the number one sports collective, number one
(27:59):
of twenty twenty five, and Mallard Palooza took a vote
on that. That's pretty funny. That's that's not it. But
I wish they sold that we could we could have
that for sure. All right, it is the Ben Maler.
So let's go to the phones right now, and who
do we have? Eeny meanie mighty molls. Move this over here,
and he's here. Let's say hello do we e dog
(28:22):
who shockingly was not part of the mallor paloza, but
he's he's in New York. Hello e dog, Welcome, hey
Ben went out?
Speaker 6 (28:29):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Where have you been? He dog? Yeah? I like that
you call every day for like a month, and then
you vanished for a month and then you come back. Like,
what is going on with that?
Speaker 6 (28:39):
I don't know. I was trying to block your clause
for melitsa, so to speak. But listening to this, I
just I want to tell you something about my cousin Steven,
who went to Yale.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yeah, hold on a sec, Hold on sec before you
tell me about your cousin Steven then went to Yale.
I have a cousin. I have a cousin Steven. He
lives over in Santa Monica. Didn't he didn't go to Yale? Yeah?
But how come you didn't enter the mallet paloose. I
thought you would have done something original, something unique. Yeah,
you didn't enter that blew my mind. You you love
calling talk radio. You didn't call up with a bit?
(29:10):
What's up with that?
Speaker 6 (29:12):
I know in the future I'll get to it.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, I don't believe I don't believe you. We expect
better from you. I think there's a better chance that
you married. You marry Melissa before you you do that.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Definitely not. I've never took it to her again.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
You will, You'll, you'll get lonely some night on a Friday,
and Melissa will text you and then I have.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
A statin nightdown on next thing.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You know, you'll you'll be hanging out with Melissa.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Never again, never again? All right, I talk about my
cousin Stephen.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, that's just what you. Yet again are on the
pulse with the overnight sports talk radio wants to hear
dog Is he older or younger than you? Eat? Dog? Older?
Does he keep kosher?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Sometimes? Let's know that you can't do that. Sometimes you
have to do it all the time. You can't be selective.
That does either you do it or you don't do it.
So he doesn't do it? Okay, he doesn't do that?
All right?
Speaker 6 (30:10):
All right? So listen, I want to visit him and
Neale and his interra real team. Never want to go.
Let's score when the game is in dire career there
and I scored the goal. We won one?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Nothing, he Doug? Why do we care about that?
Speaker 6 (30:26):
All right? Now I have a joke for you.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You have a joke. Okay, this is it. You know
you don't need the mall of palooza be because what
you do is a one man variety show. You do
a one man variety act.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Is what you do, and you got it. Now you
want to hear my joke?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Does anyone want to hear his joke? Does anyone.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Don't want to? Night?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Why does? Why does everyone? I don't understand, Like everyone
wants to do jokes and they're almost never funny.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
I don't understand it's funny. And then then I want
to talk about my dad.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Are you now? So we started with your cousin Steve.
We're going to do a joke. Then we'll do a transition.
We'll fade over to a story about your dad. Any
stories about your mom, anything about your mom, anything you
want to share about your mom.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
He's a beautiful lady and.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Her Okay, all right, well, then here you go.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
What is the pope and Jeans Stallings have in common
the pope.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
And do you think Lorraina knows who Gene Stallings is? Right,
Kop doesn't even know who Jeene Stallings is. Eh, yeah,
the old football coach back in the day. All right,
did you give the punchline? Did I not listen to
the punchline? Did you give the punch line? Up?
Speaker 6 (31:37):
They're both ex cardinals who know nothing about football.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Do you have any jokes that aren't forty years old? No?
Speaker 6 (31:49):
I got a I got a funny story to tell
you about my dad, who has some.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I will I will promise you it's not funny.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
We'll see. Okay, here it is. My dad took me
to the bank, right, and he said to the teller,
I want.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
To give you.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
I want to give my son Eric a gift. So
there was a bond to the left that I was
looking at the bond, and you know my dad did
what's that? He shook his head. No, oh, that isn't funny.
All right?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Can you can you? Can you go on hiatus for
another month? Can we can you leave for like another
month or two and then call back? How about that? Yes?
Speaker 6 (32:27):
No, definitely not. And I'm doing good over here. On
the Ben Miller Show.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, I gotta I gotta go, thank you, Okay, Yes,
Scrooge rights and says it will be nice Scrooges in
Northern California. He hides behind his smartphone, does not have
the brass balls to call the show. He says, it'll
be nice listening to the same seven callers tonight. I
(32:53):
need to recover from all the trauma I heard from
yesterday's show. Can we get him a miniature horse, like
a recovery little horse seed to recover a blank? Ye?
And all that Terry in England, says Keg drinking Steve
represents the Mala militia and it's true spirit. As talented
as Jay Scoop in Ohio, al are. They are the
(33:15):
Hamptons of us. We need the raw, drunken, drug addicted lunatics.
That'd be Terry in England. That said that, and there
is a surprise in the early polling, and it is
a bit of a surprise in fact, it's right now,
it's tied up. We are very early. We have a
whole day to go on this thing, so we'll have
(33:37):
hundreds of votes, hundreds and hundreds of votes that'll come in.
But it's early on and I am genuinely surprised that
one of the acts is in the lead tied for
the lead here because that would not be my vote.
And I'm also a little disappointed with the act that
is bringing up the rear, that is the caboose. He
sot'll disappoint you want to vote on that? On Axe,
(33:58):
it's pinned to the top of the ben male profile.
On X, who gets the vote as the winner of
the twenty twenty five mallor Palooza, the vote of the people,
pulse of the people. You can vote right here, go
to X one per account unless you can figure out
the analytics on that and riggitt. Remember one year we
(34:19):
did the vote on the Benny Awards and a guy,
oh no, it wasn't. It wasn't even the Beny, it
was the name the team contest. When the Rams were
in Saint Louis. Every year I would pick a new
NFL team, and for a while people loved me and
they were getting me, like the Patriots when they were good,
when they had Brady, and so I'd follow that team
(34:40):
for the year, and then somebody figured out how to
screw up the vote, and so then I became like
a fan of the Browns and the Jets and the Jaguars.
That was terrible. And the Raiders when they were just
got awful, sucked out loud, not right, not right? Well,
you know it is right. The play of the day
(35:01):
and the play of the day brought to you by
tire i Raq and who else but the phenom the
super nova of Major League Baseball. He goes by one name.
You know you're a pretty big deal. When you go
by one name and people know who you are. Just
have to say, Oh, Toney the two to one and
Tony bless it tosses the bad that ball is wak
(35:23):
on to the batter side. We got a Unicorns sunning
in Los Angeles. Two strikeouts in the top of the
first and they go ahead blast in the bottom of
the first, two one Dodgers. It sounds to me like
Steven Nelson there on the Dodgers radio M five seventy
in Los Angeles. And that is the tire Iraq Play
(35:46):
of the Day. For over forty years, tyre Raq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive. Ship fast and freeback by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
tire rack dot Com the way the tire Buying show
b as we press on and time now for the
(36:09):
who am I? Game? This is where we pretend to
be somebody else. Let's we call it the who am I? Game?
And here it is pirates A's Paul Skins from El
Toro High School in Orange County. Paul Skins has a
one point nine to seven earn run average in his
first forty four career starts for the Buckos. That is
the lowest in the live ball era, breaking my previous record. Again,
(36:34):
pirates A's Paul Skins, who spent some time in the
Air Force at the Air Force Academy there, has a
one point nine to seven earn run average in his
first forty four career starts that is the lowest in
the live ball era, breaking my record. Who am I?
The answer? We'll get to it. We will do it next.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Bond kind of a night on the Ben Maler Show.
Bill Miller. Here it is the Bean Malor Show, up
all night every night, flying the red eye flight. It's radio.
It's so simple. So why is there a camera in here?
In bright lights and bunch of cameras? Cause of YouTube.
(37:22):
Be sure to check out the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel.
Just search Fox Sports Radio on YouTube. See a whole
bunch of video highlights from the various know it alls,
blowhards and gas bags that share these microphones. You can
watch global exclusive Mallard monologues nobody else has, so be
(37:42):
sure to subscribe. You'll never miss the very best Mallard
monologues in Fox Sports Radio videos on the YouTube. All right,
back to it we go, and we will pay off
the who am I game in a minute. But we tease.
You have to please when you tease. So the hottest
(38:02):
sports collectible of twenty twenty five, that would be the
five hundred dollars Happy Gilmore Putter. Yeah, Callaway's five hundred
dollars Happy Gilmore Putter. This is a partnership deal as
the new Happy Gilmore coming out on Netflix and this
(38:25):
thing blowing up, blowing up, I believe, I guess I'm Friday.
I think they drop it. The New Happy Gilmore movie
and Adam Silver and all that. They in an effort
to promote it. They tossed this out first Happy Gilmore
since nineteen ninety six, and these things are all gone.
(38:48):
And the hottest item you can get now, how do
I notice? The hottest item you get? The secondary market,
the resale market of the limited edition hockey stick putter booming.
It sold out and on the secondary market they sold
this online also, I guess like Dick's Sporting Goods places
(39:10):
like that, you could get it. Give me a little
taste of that day. Lasted forty eight hours, forty eight hours,
and on the resale market, this thing, I'm blowing up listings.
As of a few hours ago. Most of the listings
were added around one thousand dollars. There was one listed
(39:34):
for three thousand dollars shortly after these things became available.
So that is it. Everyone wants their hands on that
nice putter, Putt putt. I didn't notice though the putter
no Boston Bruin logo on it, because I guess they
did not get a deal with the NHL. But it's
got the Bruins colors, but it does not have the logo.
(39:56):
Time now for the who am I game? And who
am I game? This postion of the Ben Maler show

lowest and the Live Ball era breaking my previous record.
Who am I? That is the question. What is the answer?
(40:37):
Eugene in Chicago said Trey Hendrickson. That is incorrect. Benny
the Bopper guest by malaprop Guy, I have look a
little weird in that photo, though I don't know about that.
My arms a little sideways on that. Kelly Tripuka from
the Great Stevie Meatballs, who also disappointed me. Why do
you not enter Stevie Meatballs legend on the show Malapalooza
(40:58):

Steve from ferg Dog, Nick the Wendy's Guy's going with
Steve Rogers as his answer. Don Lemon from mister nice
guy Selena Gomez, who's thirty three today. Lorena, what say
