Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number one hour, one of the original
Recipe podcasts. As we are hanging out to the show
from Vegas on the overnight, it's repackage here. We're here
for the Big Malor Meet and greet, which is tomorrow.
If you're listening to this podcast here on this Friday,
the twenty second day of August, so hopefully you can
come out. All the details are on social media. It's

(00:24):
scheduled for two hours, it'll probably there longer than two hours,
and there's some surprises along the way, So come on
out say hello. If you're in Vegas, you're able to
make it to Vegas tomorrow on Saturday, the twenty third
there at the Steakeout Bar and Grill, and also all
weekend long. Not only do you have this podcast, you
have the Fifth Hour podcast. In today's episode of the

(00:45):
fifth Hour of the Plan, we're doing it. We'll do
it here from Vegas. The plan is to have the
answering of the sports god what's that about? And a
never before told story of being caught on camera wrestling
with a giant hunk of metal. You hear about that
only on the Fifth Hour podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Here an hour number one.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Jerry Jones claims that the agent told him that would
be Michaeh Parson's agent told him to stick the offer
that he gave Michael Parsons up his tushy. The agent claimed,
its all eyes. We have a he said, he said situation.
So where does the truth live? Will examine that also
with Jerry Jones and Michah Parson's sparring the agent anyway,

(01:28):
does Jerry Jones have ulterior motives with dropping his Michaeh
Parson's agent update. And how do you react to Jerry
Jones saying the Cowboys approach doesn't need to change, does
not need to change. We'll go there as well. All
of it coming your way right now here. It is
our number one ratcheting up tensions. Wel come, in the

(01:52):
beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show. We
are in the air everywhere. That's right, fellow Commoners, coast
to coast, border, the border, and beyond on the vast
in tantalizingly powerful microphones of fsre amminnating live from the Craze,

(02:17):
your sports craze. You can join the audio maze here
from the Fox Sports Radio studios in Viva Las Vegas,
as approved by Mouthwash Mike, who's probably somewhere wandering around
Fremont Street at this point, right now, just down the
road from us here at.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
The Big iHeart Building in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
And this portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible
part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot Com The Way

(02:57):
Tire Buying Show being we're back at it a couple
of days away from the Big Malord meet and greet.
We have not promoted that enough. We have not promoted
that enough. I'd be coming up on Saturday. We hanging
out here in Vegas, so hopefully come down if you're
in the area, and if you can make it, that'd
be great, be wonderful. But our lead this hour to
begin the festivities. We start out in Dallas. There's a

(03:20):
theme here and if you're tired of hearing about the cowboys,
well you're in for dismay all night long, all night long,
because another day, another basketful of goodies delivered room service
style from Jerry's world, the Gift that keeps giving. So
Jerry Jones was schmoozing. There's a lot to this, there's
a lot of moving parts to this story. So Jerry

(03:42):
Jones was schmoozing with his pal Michael Irvin. And Michael
Irvi has now got a podcast because everyone loves audio content.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Everyone wants to do audio content.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
And so Michael Irvin, who I think has lost every
TV job, kind of like me, and so he's doing
a podcast and he dropped Jerry Jones dropped a golden
nugget on that podcast. Now, if you have not heard
the commentary, maybe not so Jerry said the big money
quote here, Jerry.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Said that they had an agreement.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
In place with disgruntled edge rusher Micah Parsons that would
have made Mikeah Parsons the highest paid defensive play highest
paid non quarterback in the NFL. So in terms of
guaranteed money, according to Jerry Jones, he would have made
more money than anyone outside of a quarterback. At least

(04:33):
that's what Jerry said. And then, according to Jerry Jones,
the Cowboys general management owner, the agent David Mulligeta tells
him to quote, stick it up your blanketing. I don't
even even say that. I don't even know what you
can say it you stick it up here, you know what.
So anyway later exactly, yeah, So I mean we are

(04:56):
in the safe harbor. I mean, come on, we're doing overnights.
We can say that, I think. But anyway, later a
reporter contacted the agent, David Mullaghetta and said, hey, what's
going on, what's up with this? What's your side of
the story, And the agent for Micah Parsons laughed allegedly
and he said, I have never used that phrase in

(05:18):
my life. And for Jerry Jones saying that this is false.
This never happened. According to the report, it's just another
public way to make this situation, which was already ugly,
even uglier now. Ryan Clark, a jock sniffing, very woke analyst,

(05:39):
claimed that David Mullaghetta, the agent, in no way has
ever told Jerry Jones or any other general manager or
owner that phrase. It's all bull crap, it's all lies,
that is the report. So let's discuss. That's a good
jumping off point. So the question Jerry Jones claims, the

(06:00):
cowboy owner claims that the agent told him to stick
the Micah Parsons offer up his tushy, and the agent exactly.
The agent claims it's all lies. He said, he said situation.
So where does the truth lie on this one? Does
it lie with Jerry Jones or does it lie with

(06:20):
Micah Parson's agent. So my thoughts on this one, I've
got three be kind of a player, Page seventeen and
Christmas Tree, and we'll combine all of these things together
and we are going to make a spicy stew is
what we're going to make. So my first thought is

(06:41):
the plot thickens on this one. This is going to
be a great story right in to the start of
the regular season. That's already been wonderful. We've gotten at
least three monologues a week out of the Micah Parsons
soap opera, and I don't see that ending anytime soon.
You know, we had another couple of weeks before the
season begins, and it's gonna go right down to the

(07:01):
eleventh hour, and that's how this is going to play
out here. And so in terms of the latest chapter
in this there are three sides to every story. In
this case, you've got Jerry Jones side, You've got Micah
Parsons side, and then somewhere else you have the truth.
And so we are going with the owner for a
couple of reasons. On this one. I'm gonna go with
Jerry Jones on this one.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Explain why let you go with Jerry? You always suck
up to older.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Let me explain. All right, So, having been around a
couple of years or so, I don't know, it's been
a few years now, the sports media world, but also
just being around the media world, being around agents. In fact,
I was just having a conversation prior to the to
the show here in Vegas with the woman who's helping
us out here, and she's she's I don't.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Have an agent.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I was gonna get an agent. Where we were having
we were telling stories about agents. But agents are like politicians.
You should never believe a politician and you should never
believe an agent. And so you know, and listen, Jerry,
it's not like Jerry Jones is much better.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
I get it right. Jerry Jones is what we call
a three B player. Do you know what a three
B player is? Now? A three B kind of a player.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Braggadocious, bombastic, blowhard. So that's a three B player. Now,
Regardless of that, the malor hypothesis, which is the hypothesis
of record, is that a version, right, A version of
this happened. A version of this happened, and Jerry just
kind of added some flowery language. The agent said something

(08:31):
to the effect of, we need to negotiate this, and
Jerry just added on some of.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
His own perfume or cologne or whatever. Right that for embellishment.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
So the agent and Muwigeda claiming that he's never used
that phrase in his life. Now, that to me is
you know what? That is dead giveaway. That is a
dead giveaway. You lost me, liar, liar, Right. Everyone has
said that either on the playground when you were an
elementary school or junior high or high school, or as

(09:02):
an adult, and likely all of those things. So I
don't buy it now Page two. Does Jerry Jones have
ulterior motives? Is there some kind of ulterior motive here? Randomly,
on a random Thursday, before the final exhibition games are
played this weekend in the NFL, Jerry Jones goes on

(09:22):
with his bff, his buddy the playmaker Michael Irvin and
then goes, oh, yeah, you know, I'm just going to
drop this casually, this update on Micaeh Parson's agent. So
the answer, of course, one thousand percent. There are alternative
or ulterior motives here, and it's not insane. It's negotiation

(09:45):
with the capitol end here and that's how it works.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
And whether it's.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Twenty twenty five or any the last you know, five
ten years, this is kind of how the game is played,
you know how how to play the game. The agents
want every last penny, every ounce of leverage they can get.
And this guy, David Mullagatta, the agent, is like this,
I get the guys. He's been around for a couple
of years. He had a big situation with t Higgins
that blew up. I think it was last year. It

(10:12):
didn't go so well. And so this guy the agent's
trying to make a name for himself. He wants to
become the Scott Boris of NFL agents. That's the way
I read the room, Like this guy wants to be
the biggest, baddest sob when it comes to agents.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
And how do you do that?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
You take on Jerry Jones and you go sparring with
Jerry Jones. That's how you become a massive name, and
everyone will gravitate to you, and there'll be in all
of you because Jerry Jones is the most powerful man
in the NFL, and not Roger Goodell or Patrick Mahomes.
It's Jerry Jones. And so for Mova Getta, you know,

(10:48):
he's trying to make his mark here and say, hey,
I'm not just a sleazy agent. I'm the king of
sleazy agents. I'm the king of sleazy agents. But here's
the thing, right, Jerry's not He's not talking to the
agent anymore. And really, what he's doing in this one,
it's kind of obvious. I give you some psycho babble.
He's talking directly or indirectly to Micah Michah Parsons through

(11:11):
the media, because Michael Parsons, like all these other guys,
is obsessed with social media more on that later and
is all about that action boss and is consuming all
this stuff. And so Jerry's essentially saying, hey, Mike, it's
a it's a guy who's screw screwing this up, all right,
So he just is I mean, it's it's a bad, bad, bad,

(11:33):
bad bad bad.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Situation for you, Micah because of the agent.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
And if you want this money, if you want to
play for the Dallas Cowboys, well hey, you know, you
gotta do it. You gotta you gotta help us out here,
and you gotta, you know, talk to your agent, firey agent,
do whatever you have to do.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Uh. So that being said, it's all theater, right, he
knows what he's doing. Uh, Jerry Jones, you know, he's
just an old all. No, Jerry just reframed the entire negotiation.
And it's not cowboys versus Parsons. It's Parsons versus the agent.

(12:12):
He's putting the story out, so the fans turn on
the agent. So Parsons starts sweating a little bit, and
it's a it's kind of a rewrite, if you will,
you know, it's a little bit of a rewrite where, uh,
you know.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
From the previous story.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
The previous storyline was well, Jerry's Jerry's cheap, and now
we're pivoting to well, why is the agent torpedoing a
record setting deal? So this is on page if you
look at the handbook, it's page seventeen of Jerry Jones handbook,
The Cowboy screw job. He did this years ago with
Emmett Smith and to some degree with Dez Bryant, and

(12:47):
now he's attempting to do it with Micah Parsons. And
so he's negotiating in public, he's making it personal and
then tries to cut the agent out of the equation.
So the impass continues, which is great if you have
four hours of talk radio that you have to worry about.
It's really good. Unless the agent's gonna VENMO Michael Parsons.

(13:12):
That was at twenty four million this year. Michael Parsons
is playing like this is not Leveon Bell two point zero,
Like that's that's reality. You're not gonna leave I think
I read somewhere's like a million and a half dollars
a game that Michael Parson's gonna get paid.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
You're not gonna leave that money out there, No way,
no how.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Now, meanwhile, Jerry comes out smelling like a nice rose. Right,
you're smelling like because it is really a brilliant pr
strategy because he's the guy.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Jerry's like, hey, listen, I'm the guy.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
I wanted to make Parsons the richest defensive player in
the NFL at least, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
And it's the agent. It's the agent.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
He's the bad guy. And I mean it's the bad
I'm pointing in Heavy's the bad guy, classic Jerry Jones.
All right, now, last word. So earlier then this is
the Hour of Jerry Jones. So earlier, Jerry Jones did
a separate interview in which he talked about the situation
where he's been running the Dallas Cowboys forever and ever

(14:12):
and they haven't won anything in a generation, been twenty
nine years going on thirty now for the Cowboys, the
Super Bowl drought and the NFC Title Game drought, and
so Jerry Jones I thought it was interesting. Jerry Jones
said that, Yeah, I get it. I'm the common denominator,
he said, the rough out. However, however, Jerry defended the

(14:36):
way that he's doing it, saying that our cowboy approaches
from Jerry Jones to try to win the Super Bowl
doesn't need the change. Jerry Jones said, that's why Jerry
said he's so defensive. I was shopped that up a
little bit, but that's the quote. So how do you
react to Jerry Jones saying that the Cowboys approach which

(15:00):
does not need to change. So as a businessman, he's
absolutely right. He's absolutely right. And if I bought an
NFL team, and that's a great job. You're the GM
of an NFL team, You own the team. Why would
you give that up? And from a business standpoint, if
it's not broken, the old line goes, why you're gonna
fix it? You don't need to fix this, it's not broken.

(15:21):
Why would you fix this not broken? You know what
Jerry Jones is. Jerry Jones is a Christmas tree farmer.
Let me explain it, all right, because to me, this
is the perfect analogy for Jerry Jones, and no one
else has it. I don't think anyone will know this
is original take. Nobody else has this take. It's my take,
and no one else has it because it's a ridiculous take.

(15:44):
But let me explain. Let me, let me give you
my elevator pitch. Why Jerry Jones is really just a
Christmas tree farmer? Because Christmas trees. It's just perfect for
the cowboys as I understand it. Now, I've never been
in the Christmas tree business, but as I understand it,
as a farmer, you would plant those things and you
have to wait a number of years to get any
real payoff on that. I think I saw years ago

(16:06):
it was like at least seven years longer than that
to get any real kind of payoff on that. So
it's a little bit longer. But in the ballpark of
the NFL rebuild. Now, I believe rebuild is a poisonous word,
but just go with it for the purposes of the take.
So it's an NFL rebuild seven years right there, boom.
But Jerry, Jerry doesn't have to wait that Christmas tree

(16:28):
farmer has to wait seven years or longer. But Jerry
doesn't even need to pick up a chainsaw, and he's
figured out how to sell people the very idea of
the tree.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Every single day of the year.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
And most farmers your sales window, if you're in that world,
you got to sell Christmas trees. What from November, November
and December, right, That's pretty much it. And then for
the Cowboys in the NFL, it's January and February, it's playoffs.
Super Bowl, which they're never in, is in February. But
Jerry's got fans, not you, of course, but some other people,

(17:06):
the dumb ones in the back he's got them buying
Christmas trees in the middle of June, in the middle
of August, preseason football. He turned a seasonal crop into
a daily cash cow. And all Jerry Jones did was
throw a star on top of the tree. That's it,

(17:27):
pressed down, Abra cadabra, hocus pocus. That's the Cowboy brand.
And again the math on this, the math, not Mallard math.
This is the actual math. So the Cowboys, Jerry paid
one hundred and fifty million for the team. That's back
in the eighties. That's back in the nineteen eighty a
long time ago. And now Forbes says they just came
out with us. The other day, Forbes said the Cowboys

(17:49):
are worth twelve point eight billion, So one hundred and
fifty million, Whi's a lot of money, but twelve point
eight billion, which is a lot more money.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
And he's the most powerful owner around.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
And the Dallas Cowboys are not they're not even a
football team.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
We mentioned.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
They're more like they're about the dynasty, but in this
one they're like an evergreen farm. Of course, the key
part of that the ever green the type that never dies,
it never ever dies. It is the ben Mahlor Show,

YEAH i know with my with my Dog. Moxie See
moxie does is too bougie for like real dog. Food
so what we do is we give we do a little.
Trickeration have you ever done? This willis where you put
the dog food down and then you put a layer
of cheese on top of the dog, food and the
dog is so. Stupid they eat the cheese and the dog.

(29:06):
Food they don't they don't realize that they're actually still
eating the dog. Food they just think they're eating. Cheese they.
Don't they haven't figured that.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
Out they haven't got. It but they're getting their, nutrients
they getting what they're. Needing they're needing and it's all
good from. There but the, situation as previous people have,
said with The Dallas cowboys as, plays you, Know, pa
you know they're going To it's just shot across the
bat that people are forgetting not just that this is
the most profitable sports team on its the, planet but

(29:34):
they play in the football crezed state Of, texas where
they spend seventy millions of dollars and don't think twice
to build high school. Stadiums and how is this going
to help them in a very COMPETITIVE Nfc east against
The eagles and against The. Commanders they even try to
make the playoffs even though THE nfc is the weaker,
division there's no doubt about that versus THE. Afc but

(29:54):
there's all for, it you. Know but that's what really
concerned or perplected me is a better. TERM i just
don't understand how the fandom In dallas continue to go for,
this because what it's going to amount to is when we're,
say in THE nba playing on, three they're not going
to make the, playoffs or if they, do they're gonna
be a first round sack official lamb to the tougher
teams in the. Division but, again you know you want

(30:17):
to it Just Michael, parsons he's fundamental to the cow
but they're not like an incredibly, deep overwhelmingly talented, team
like you need your start. Players AND i UNDERSTAND nfl
not the long and owners always want to push, back
but it doesn't Make.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Muny, well he's gonna Be he's gonna be.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
There.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Listen this is all just part of the.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Act it's all for.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Show and then they'll get a deal done right before
the opening of THE nfl. Season they'll figure the last
minute to be very. Dramatic it'll be Like Michaeh parsons
will be painters of the hero because he stepped in
and he, intervened or someone else will step in and.
Intervened they'll get a deal, done.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
All, right and Then michael can go immediately to his
podcast and talk about, it you, know and they have.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
You, know the of, course because as you know and you,
too everyone loves audio. Content everyone wants audio. Content that's
it's the way of the. World it's people's. ALL i
remember WHEN i got into radio, radio wh wants to
do Radi everyone podcasting's, radios tape the late.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Radio that's what podcasting.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Is, anyway all, Right, andre thank, you then go go.
Away there's A andre from The. Commonwealth SO i get
a couple of, messages AND i was, LIKE i wasn't
watching this, game SO i was, like what is this all.
ABOUT i was, like you, know.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Did you see? That oh this guy is gonna be a?

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Star, yeah that kind of, thing and SO I i was,
Like i'll check this.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Out so throwing.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Darts The New York giants played their final exhibition game
against The New England, patriots and at least The patriots
rolled out their. UNIFORMS i don't know that they actually
put any of their starters in the. Game based on
WHAT i. Saw they were all third string guys that'll
be saying what Can brown do for you next week
when they're picking packages up at. Ups but, Anyway Jackson

(32:03):
dart got in there AND i had a nice opening
drive when he got, in had a touchdown pass and
and it was all, Excited oh my, God Jackson dart
and this is the future and uh watch. Out AND
i just rolled my eyes at. THAT i give, IT
i give it stinky because it's the final exhibition game

(32:25):
of the, season and, yeah, okay he HAD i saw
a couple of highlights And Jackson dart had a couple
of good. Throws, overall the numbers weren't amazing or anything like.
That even if they were, amazed even If Jackson dart
had gone out and had a perfect, performance it to,
me it doesn't, Change it doesn't change. It it was,
Like i'm, NOT i just. Nothing it's like he's a

(32:48):
first round or. Not at first round he. Was he
was drafted. High, yeah first, round and then, yeah he's
gonna play at some. Point because even If Russell wilson,
starts he's gonna and he'll be the. Starter he'll get
hurt or he'll, suck and she And dart eventually we'll
get in. There but the overreaction, MACHINE i always wait
for week one for. Overreaction but here it's the final
week of the exhibition. Game really nice performance though By

(33:10):
Mike Rabel's. Patriots wait to go out, there AND i
know it's an exhibition. Game you're not supposed to try
and all that. Stuff who was the quarterback Was it
was the old LATE nba, Player Orlando. Wolridge and it
was Not Orlando. Warridge somebody Named woolridge was the quarterback
for The. PATRIOTS i have no idea who that, is
but he was out there playing quarterback for The patriots
and the final exhibition, game WHICH i guess if you
bet on The, giants you were. HAPPY i bet on The.

(33:32):

is that's a good win when you win by thirty two.
Points i'm told that's a good one to go To Big,
