Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome. It's our number one as we
are hanging out with you on a Monday, the seventeenth
day of the month of June, coasting through the overnight
hours to provide you with fresh, piping hot audio content.
Don't forget this past weekend we had three new episodes
(00:21):
of the Fifth Hour Podcast, three of them, and you
can go back and here. I told some stories that
never before told, never before told, including one about the
shopping cart revenge, the buggy revenge that was I believe
on the Saturday podcast. But all kinds of fun. You
can check that out Fifth Hour Podcasts. It is imperative
if you're a P one super fan of the show
(00:42):
that you have to listen to that podcast as well
the Fifth Hour Podcast. But here on the original Recipe pod,
hour one, the rare and appropriate Mallard monologue about golf.
Did Bryson d. Chambeau win the US Open or did
Rory McElroy give it away? We'll talk about that. Also,
re irving set over the weekend that Luk at Dancik
(01:03):
made a few people eat their words after that Game
four Maverick blowout win over Boston. Is that how you
see it? And Why did Klay Thompson unfollow the Golden
State Warriors on social media? What's the endgame on that?
We'll go there as well. All of it coming your
way right now, big way for our number one. Oh
(01:30):
you got you gotta make the pot. You gotta even
I know that you gotta make the putt. Welcome in
the beginning of a brand new week of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, cranking up
the boombox as we start with a bang or maybe
(01:50):
a miss I don't know, Coast to coast, border the
motor and beyond on the vast and zestfully powerful microphones
of fs ammundating live from the seat higher top. We're
in the catbird seat here broadcasting live from the Tirak
dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help you get
(02:12):
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended in stars, a many almost
as many as I get comments from Eugene in Chicago
throughout the day. Tiraq dot com the way tire buying
should be. And we're back at it. Another week of
(02:35):
for volid here behind the microphones and we do something
we don't often do on this show. We go somewhere
that is a foreign land that we don't visit very often,
roughly four times a year unless there's a scandal. And
that would be the links. The rare and appropriate, rare
and appropriate Malard monologue about golf not a game, not
(02:57):
a game. We in here talking about golf. I know
it's shocking, but this is allowed by the sports talk
radio gods. It is June, and in June you're allowed
to talk about golf. So we had a major over
the weekend. I don't know if you watched any of this,
if you were consuming the content that took place, perhaps
perhaps not. But Bryson D. Chambeau gets the win. WHOA,
(03:22):
you're excited? No? He won the US Open wrapped up
on Sunday in North Carolina, second time, the second time
with the best shot of his life for the way
up Mike eighteenth old Pinehurst number two. And if you're
a golf and there you know what I'm talking about.
And people will reminisce about this and so oh can
(03:44):
you believe the shot that he made out but a dagger,
an absolute dack. De Roy McElroy in the final hour
or so as the crow flies d Chambeau wrapping up
the bowl on the package. They're up and down all around,
and from fifty five yards out of a bunker, a
(04:09):
four foot part putt ends up at one over seventy
one ends up winning the championship, as Roy McElroy had
been in position as the final day of the Major
went along. There in Pinehurst, North Carolina. There the golfer
that made headlines and the tabloids recently, Roy McElroy because
(04:32):
of a divorce. And then he said, Sike, just kidding,
not getting divorced. And now he said, Pyke, I'm going
to win the US Open. No I am not, No,
I am not. So let us discuss the question did
Bryson d Chambeau win the US Open or did Roy
McElroy gag it away? So I've got eat your veggies, Froggy,
(04:57):
and scrub a dub dub, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
a migraine headache, which I pretty sure, pretty sure that
Roy McElroy had a migraine headache here. So the question
did Bryce and d Chambeau win the Open or did
(05:18):
Roy McElroy lose the Open? That is what's known as
a rhetorical question. It's rather obvious here. While it was
a roller coaster ride, and d Chambeau did have the
lead at the start of the tournament final round at Pinehurst,
even with that, as someone who is a casual observer
of the product, I am not a regular customer of
(05:39):
the product. I am not, but as someone who's a
casual observer, make no mistake about it. Okay, we know
you and I both know a pratfall when we see
a pratfall. And Roy McElroy got a first class ticket,
first class ticket on the Vomit comet. As the day
(06:02):
progressed there on Sunday, you got off to a good start,
but you gotta finish what you start. You gotta finish
what you start. And he did not finish what he started.
And the entire thing was like a PSA. And I
know a thing or two about PSAs doing the Overnight show.
A lot of PSAs, right, a lot of PSAs. And
this was a PSA saying, hey, eat your veggies. Now,
(06:24):
what do I mean by that? Pretty simple? Right, pretty
simple here when you think of the family of vegetables,
Roy McElroy, he ate his vegetables Unfortunately, he ate the
art of choke. That's his favorite vegetable, the art butt
a choke. How bad was it? McElroy? He had a
two shot lead with five holes to play and then
(06:46):
he missed not one, but two putts within four yards
a putt. Yeah, I know, but you're not a professional golfer.
And here's the thing. What do I always say it?
There's no such thing as momentum, right those this thing
is momentum. No, this thing is momentum. Stat's tell you
what has happened, not what's going to happen. This is
a textbook example. If you watched the events at Pinehurst,
(07:09):
you know exactly the number I'm about to give you,
because it tells you what has happened, not what's going
to happen. Prior to Roy McElroy clanking the first of
the two failed punts, he was four hundred and ninety
six out of four hundred and ninety six putting inside
three feet this season on the PGA Tour. And then
(07:34):
he did the thing you can't do at the time,
you can't do it now. Near the end, McElroy watched
d Chambeau winning the tournament, watched it on a monitor
look like they were taping an episode of that prankster
show where to watch the monitor and tell tell the
people doing the prank what to do next and all that.
(07:55):
But he watched in the scorers room and then sped up.
More on that coming up, as the streak continues now
for Roy McElroy, as he ends now almost a ten year,
closing in on a decade since a major championship. And
as you know, in golf, nobody pays attention to the
waste management open. It's all about the majors. There's four
(08:17):
of those a year, and that's it all right now
page two, we crossover dribble now to the ENBA. Now,
when we last spoke in a previous episode of the show,
we were anticipating that we were going to have the
season end. By the time we got back, there'd be
no more finals games. That was it. But expect the
(08:40):
unexpected in pro bouncy ball. It did not end on
Friday night. It did not. Scott Foster was brought in.
He worked his magic there, Scott Foster the Extender. Of course,
it really wasn't the case of Scott Foster having anything
to do with the outcome of that game. But you
saw any part of that game, and I did. While
I was eating Fetichini alfredo on Friday, was watching the
game and the way the game played out on Friday,
(09:04):
there was an absolute Dallas mollywopping of Boston. Now, the
conspiratorial side of me would say, well, wait a minute. Here,
did somebody from Big Basketball called the Celtics and say, boys,
take the night off here, We'll have you win on
Monday night back home? We need an extra game on
Monday night. But sure enough, whether that happen or not,
there will be a Game five on a Monday night
(09:24):
at the Garden there the park in Boston. Now, following
the one is what I want to get you. So,
following the win, Kyrie Irving said, Luca Donzchik made a
few people eat their words with his performance in Game four,
the MAVs get to blowout win. They're a historical win
for the basketball team from Texas and a historical loss
(09:47):
for the Celtics. So is that how you see it?
Though the part where Kyrie Irving said that Luca made
a few people eat their words, so there was no
word eating that took place. I talked to several people
who are critics and not a single one of them
made any words. Bad job, yet another failed take by Kyrie.
We're gonna throw the yellow laundry on the field here
(10:10):
on this particular take as a false start penalty, premature
bad job by you, and we'll mark off the five yards,
will replay the down. Shame on you, Kyrie. That is
a foolish overreaction. Last I checked, the Boston Celtics are
still up three games to one. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe
that win was worth like three or four games. I
thought it was only worth one. And just keeping it
(10:33):
real here because why not? What else can we do?
Looking at this year? Over reaction? Overreaction? Luka Doncik is
the headliner? Is that right? Am I doing good? So
he's the headliner. He's the big baffo Soaco star who
has often had a froggy in his throat in the
(10:53):
NBA Finals? Am I wrong on that? Disappearing for stretches
in the second half, failing to get it done in
the fourth quarter the first three games, horrific numbers in
the fourth quarter. No defense, he's a designated hitter. He
does not play defense, does not believe in that foul
trouble and complaining non stop, thinking the world's out to
(11:16):
get him, because we all know in that business of basketball,
they always screw over the star players in the NBA.
They never give him a fair shake. Never ever does
a star player get the benefit of the doubt. Doesn't happen.
So Game five Celtics will wrap it up on a
Monday night, and then we can have their little parade,
the little duck pot parade will be what Wednesday or
Thursday of this week ourd last word, we go to
(11:38):
the Bay Area. Another story bubbling up recently in pro
bouncy ball, Why on God's green Earth did Clay Thompson?
Why did Clay Thompson unfollow the Warriors? On social media,
people over reacting to this story as well, We're here
were a measured response. So why did Clay Thompson decide
(11:59):
to unf We know he's going to be a free
agent and he is going to roam around the NBA
and he'll flirt with a bunch of different teams and
see what happened. So it's fair to say though this
was a act of hostility by Clay Thompson, it was
an active hostility by Clay Thompson. He sees the graffiti
on the wall. He would like to stay riding his
(12:21):
boat to work in San Francisco. He would like to
continue that, but he realizes the odds of that are
not particularly good. That the end is near. And so
when I say this is an active hostility the Warriors.
From what I've been told, they have offered him a contract,
but it's not what he wanted. You call it a
(12:45):
low ball offer. Although for me, I would think I
won the lottery, and you likely would think you won
the lottery. But if you're Klay Thompson, a player of
that's statue, this was an offensive offer. How dare you?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
He is doing the old scrubb a dub dub and
getting rid of all references to the Warriors on social media.
Good luck on that. Now, we have read the book
years ago. We read the book Idiot's Guide to Athletes
unfollowing teams on social media. I recommend it's good reading.
So based on that and just living life here and
(13:15):
seeing what's going on, you edit, you erase, and you disassociate,
but you do that with a hostile edge, because really
what Klay Thompson wants is he's deputizing the fan base
to raise a hullabaloo. He wants the Warrior fans to
do his bidding that if enough noise goes on social
(13:37):
media and radio shows and all all forms of media,
that you weaponize the fan base, you put pressure on
the Warriors front office to pay you more money to
keep you around, keep the band together even though the
band hasn't worked the last few years. And that's the
way it goes. It is the Ben Maler Show. If

you're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox and I'll
(15:28):
i from the tyraq dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Does he get a mulligan? We'll get to that coming
up in a couple We began here ranting and raving
about a hodgepodge, including golf Us Open at Pinehurst done.
Roy McElroy not happy, Ink of Terror, writes and says,
I've never done this before, but I have to give
(15:56):
your opening Mallard monologue a failing grade. I've been waiting
all weekend for your hockey take greeting from Seattle, well Incup.
As you know, I was gonna lead with hockey, and
as I thought, maybe that'll be too much. I don't
want to rub it in. You know, Eddie's supposed the
hockey guy got it completely wrong. Uh. The Edmonton Orders
won by seventeen goals in the game over the weekend. UH.
(16:18):
Ferg Dog says the only performance and more embarrassing than
Rory over the weekend was the Florida Panthers. PA America's
team is in control of this series now, and the
only thing Eddie can do is sit there and watch.
That's it, Garcia. You're forced to watch our Edmonton just
like the Dallas Mavericks. It's easier to hockey. It's easier
(16:39):
to come back in hockey than basketball. No, it's not.
I'll explain the difference between a puck and a basketball, Eddie.
I'll teach you about a net in basketball and hockey.
The zamboni. There's no zamboni in basketball.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
The Panthers are in trouble. The Florida Panthers are in trouble.
The Edmonton Oilers. Edmonton Oilers are on their way back.
The Celtics are gonna win by twenty points game. Yes,
that is wrong. No, you're wrong, Eddy. It's a bad
job by you. I know you're coming off the weekend,
you had some time off, but that's a bad take. No, No,
(17:13):
I'm not. I never shut down, Eddie. My tics machine
does not shut down, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
I wish if you really believe that, you should be
talking about how much the Dallas Mavericks are going to
win the NBA fund.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
No, that's wrong because there's momentum aty for the Mavericks.
But with the with the Edmondon, there is momentum. As
that's the one example. There is momentum right there. You
know what percent Scrooge rights and says starting the show
with golf, there you go, Yes, because a guy choked
(17:42):
a well known there's only like five golfers, we know
who they are, and one of them coughed up along.
He choked so much. You understand if you do not
grasp the level of suckage that took place in North Carolina,
I can't help. That's where the story is. We go
where the story takes. Jordan says, the NBA needs the
(18:06):
Mavericks to win Game five to extend the series as
long as possible. Unfortunately for all of us who wants
sports talk radio to resume talking about real sports again?
What does that even mean? Jordan? Can you explain what
that even means real sports? I don't quite grasp what
(18:27):
you're going for there. I don't quite get that. But
that's fine. Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
to let's see here Eenie Meanie, mighty Mo. And we'll
say hello to Tony from the bay. Hello. What a
great way to start the week, ton Yeah, Tony's our
leadoff guy and a solid leadoff hitter. He never says
a bad word, never ends up getting dumped. Hello, Tony.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Hey man, how long does it take a paranoid to
read the Bible?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Well, lame jokes are actually on Friday, so you're doing
the lame jokes things on Friday. This is our Monday show.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So thanks for helping out.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Okay, thank you? All right, hanging up on you. See,
he was confused. He thought it was.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Great decision by you to put him on as the
leadof man.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well, no, I mean he's a little confused. He thought
it was the Friday show. We do lame jokes on Friday.
We do not do lame jokes on money. It's a
very serious show. It's a very serious show. So it's
been his great debate and that might that might be
going too far. Great debate mentioned Roy McElroy and he
had a hissy fit. He had a hissy fit. He
(19:33):
was watching the end of events in North Carolina there
from the clubhouse on a television and Roy McElroy trying
to win that first major championship in almost a decade.
So he missed not one but two three foot putts
late in the final round. We talked about that in
the malamnolog We did not get to the issue at hand, though,
(19:55):
and he missed one of the eighteen that would have
forced a playoff. But the man from Ireland, the Irish golfer,
did not have the luck of the Irish on his hands.
He was very upset. How upset was he, He stormed
on a rampage out of the golf locker room there
into the parking lot and was driven away. Just minutes
(20:16):
after Bryce and d Chambeau sunk the winning putt to
wrap up the major championship. But wait, there's more. McElroy
refused to meet with the media. He also declined an
interview from NBC, and this is created they were broadcasting
the terms. Now this is created quite the ruckus because
(20:41):
people are ripping. Some people are ripping McElroy saying what
are you doing? And then other people said, well, it's understandable.
He just lost a major championship. And so which side
do you fall on? Do you give Roy McElroy a
mulligan for being emotional and storming off in a rampage
and leaving and not talking to anyone, or do you
call him up? So I'll go first here and there's
(21:03):
only one answer you. This is a douche canoe move
by Roy McElroy. What a dumb ass, because I will
garon effin to you. Had he won that tournament and
it had been vice versa, he would have stayed there,
put makeup on, smiling from ear to ear interview. May
talk to me. I won. Everyone loves me. I'm a winner.
(21:27):
But instead he's a choke artist. He's a gutless loser
and he's a coward. Roy McElroy and he stormed off
with his powdy face. He had a conniption fit. Classless right,
Because this is nick we always talk about better story, losing,
locker room. That's why, that's what that is an example
of what I'm talking about. Roy McElroy is a band wagner.
(21:49):
He's a front runner. He's a show pony. That's what
the guy is. And tough loss, hard luck loss, and
get me out of here. I can't persian in front
of the Hams. What a joke, what an absolute bear.
I hope he never wins another major. Roy McElroy, screw
him running away like that? What a coward jerk as
(22:11):
How hard is it to go to sportscliche dot com
and come up with three or four cliches, repeat them
and then get the hell out of there? Not that hard?
Not that this job is not that difficult, and he
made it difficult. Shame on it.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Now I know you were glued to the UFL Championship
game on Fox as the Birmingham Stallions shut out the
Houston Brahmas, coached by Wade Wilson, who looked old back
when I remember him in the NFL. He really old now.
But anyway, twenty five to Nothing was the final for
the Birmingham Stallions, the former USFL team. They've won three
titles in a row. Howlf, But that's not the story.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Berry, the lead mo man, don't see Tom Brady on
the mic making his debut.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Game along with this is a bad sign.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
This is a bad sign for Tom Brady is a broadcaster?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Ready? Is that right?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Why?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Why?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Because they don't you know how much their Fox is
paying Tom Brady and his debut is a soft launch
when seven people are watching because they don't think he's
that good apparently, and he doesn't think he's that good
Brady either, Otherwise they would have had much fanfare. Tom
Brady makes his debut. There was no promotion, no none,
because Brady knows he's gonna suck as a broadcaster and
(23:30):
this was a way for him to try to work
out as a broadcaster. So's Romo came on like game Busters.
When Romo started, people love Tony Romo. Don't change history.
Do not change history. People love Tony Romo. They worshiped.
They were all Romo sexuals like me when and I
like Romo when he played for the Cowboys. But they
loved people loved Tony Romo and they couldn't get enough
(23:53):
of Romo and all that.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
He had a lot of enthusiasm. He still does. But
then then after a while you're like, yeah, he kind
of he kind of doesn't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, I don't know that he doesn't know what he's
talking about. I think it's just a case where he
people people, people, people have people. Yeah, yeah, I agree
that people doesn't know. But a lot of these guys
don't do their homework. They just show up because they
think I play all the people like Tom. You think
Tom Brady's gonna put the work in. Come on, do
you think he's gonna leave his Brentwood estate and uh,
(24:25):
you go out and do some market reaches? Come on,
he's not.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
I used to do his watch games. He watched watch
stuff on video.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
It takes time as time consuming. He put his work player.
He's hanging out with these the wokesters. That's what he does.
He's Tom Brady. He rolls in those circles. Come on.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Anyway, he was in the he was on the UFL
Championship broadcast and.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yes, and some people liked him and some people rip them.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Find that on the just google it.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Just google it. Just just google this. All you gona do.
It is the Ben Mahler's Joe. Let's have some fun.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
What do you.

here it is. There are no NBA Most Valuable Players
(25:24):
left in the twenty twenty four NBA Finals. You probably
knew about that, but this is something that has not
occurred in over thirty years, and only twice since the
nineteen fifties, that Dallas and that Boston are playing and
there's no finals for no MVPs in the finals. Now,
(25:45):
last year you had Nicola jokicch of the Nuggets. Steph
kurry Giannis was an MVP in twenty twenty one. Lebron's
been at a bunch of over the years. You gotta
go way way back since two thousand. This is the
first time and the modern era that it has happened.
And if you look at the all time record, the
(26:08):
last time it happened now nineteen fifty six. It's careed
twice since the nineteen fifty six NBA Finals, during the
nineteen ninety NBA Finals that was the Pistons and the
Portland Trailblazers, and now here in twenty twenty four. So
that's it. That's the fun fact. We'll get back to
the calls. I got Patrick in here tonight. Let's see
what we have. I can see the system's not really working,
(26:31):
so I have to click this over here because God
forbid the equipment work did a professional radio operation. Now,
let's say hello to Let's say hello to Jed who fled.
Hello Jed, he's my number two hitter. Hello Jed, welcome.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Man. You're either you're either hot or code. You're either

You know we wait so just for you complain when
I keep you on hold. Now you can plain. I'm
not keeping you on hold.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
I can't win you advance. What's what you're complaining about?
Other people complaining?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yes, I'm complaining by you complaining making me complain because
you're called up and you're not ready to go bat
job by you.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Shame on you at least at least your most forced
off radio. You're being Denny, dude, bit you. I love it.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Shame what shame is that? What are you doing? Why
you're not ready? Why would you call up not ready?
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Shame daddy?
Speaker 6 (27:31):
No, dude, I'm not here. I'm not breathing hard enough.
I don't I don't have the you know, I don't
have my blood pressure.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
I barely got high pretension. I'm not. I'm out here
in the swamp, the darkness. I haven't scared anybody yet.
I haven't min scared.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
All right, I'll put you on there. You want me
on hold for an hour?
Speaker 5 (27:45):
What do you want it?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Two hours? How long would you.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Like to be on hold?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Whatever our opinion is, Okay, all right, we'll put you
on and then we'll check back in an hour. And
I think he needs like an hour and a half.
I think we'll do an hour and a half. I'm
gonna put him in the Who's Goal Sports Talk Radio,
Who's Goal? Send him there. You're going to the Who's Gow.
That's it. You're done, dun Skis. That's it. It's over.
(28:14):
The great Unwashed on X have much to say. And
let's see here. King Roy says, I am around to
be one of the seven people who watched the UFL Championship.
I can't wait for next year because it will be
Saint Louis Battlehawk's year. Okay, Art Puffin says, existential take
(28:35):
on Roy McElroy. But it's not all his fault. You see,
he was born in Hollywood, Ireland.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
What do you expect?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Ferg Dog writes and says, the coach of the San
Antonio what do they call Eddie the bram Brahmas is
Wade Phillips not Wade Wilson, As Eddie says that true, Edie,
did you say Wade Wade?
Speaker 5 (28:57):
I said Wade Phillips, but I may have said said
Way Wilson. If I do I apologize to Wade Wilson.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Fergie said, well he's dead. Fergie says, is he is
he testing us? Or is he just wrong?
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Well I've always been I would tell you I was
testing you like he.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Is about the Edmonton Oilers. Yeah, people very upset with
your lack of knowledge when it comes to the Edmonton Orders.
I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
And like what what what?
Speaker 5 (29:19):
What on here? Why would that be probably confused as
to why you would say the oilers are coming back,
but because I knows aren't coming back.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
It's again, it's a different It's not different. It's apples
versus tangerines, different sports, but the situations of this there
are different things. Yeah, Wade Wilson, by the way, he's
been dead since twenty nineteen, so.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
You're you're way off on that. I've bet Wade Phillips
because I even said.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I've met him for coach, and you know, people heard
Wade Wilson.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
No I might I might have said that. I wouldn't
you know, that wouldn't put it past me. Things happen.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Well, hey, this is a professional operation here, we said,
since this is a this is a major network. So
we're on six hundred radio stations right nowady, come on,
I realized, I don't know when we started. We were
on like five, so I don't know what happened. It
is clearly a mistake. Somebody the company screwed up and
put us on all these radio stations. I don't know,
all right, Puffin says a plus on the Rundown Slash
(30:13):
Mallard monologue. Y'all know, let's see Alta Vila and MOOKI
were born only thirty days apart. Okay, we'll talk about Mookie.
He's out for probably a couple of months at least
for the Dodgers as he broke his hand, although they
say no surgery, and then if it doesn't heal, then
(30:33):
they'll have surgery and that'll delay things even longer. That's
usually how these things tend to work. And let's get
back to the calls. We're off to such a good
start on the phones, and we'll see here. Eeny meenie,
miney mail. Let's say hello to tiger Man in Utah. Now,
Patrick did not put a number in near his name,
so I'm gonna guess it's line three and we'll see here.
(30:53):
Hello tiger Man.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Hey, Ben, Hey, I just wanted to say you're Antonio
CROMARTI joke on the podcast today and Tyreek Hill joke
was unbelievable. I was slapping for about five minutes straight.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
So thank you. I appreciate that. I think I should
do stand up like Rob Parker I hung out with
over the weekend. We should go do stand up and
go to different comedy clubs, open Mike Knights and give
it a shot.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Hey, maybe this is kind of a dumb question, but
do you think that the Giants in the NFL should
try to go after Darren Waller for kind of, you know,
violating the contract? And I mean obviously you know Malik
Neighbors is the best things of slice Spread and he'll
do great in the Giants uniform.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Well, you know, people did not actually like slic Spread
when it debuted. Do you know that people actually like
to cut the bread themselves and were annoyed that the
corporations were trying to cut the bread for them. So
people did not like sl spread when it started. Yeah,
fun fact.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You know people like get today though, so do they
like it?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Though?
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Can you?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Can you even buy a It's hard to buy a loaf.
I was at the bakery a couple of weeks ago,
and I wanted to buy a loaf of bread without
it being pre cut. Hard to get. Not easy to
find a loaf of bread. They're all cut for you.
It's not fair big bread limiting our ability as individuals
to cut the bread. Maybe I want to really thick
slice of bread and I could cut it myself. I
(32:24):
have a bread knife. Can't do it though? It's hard
to get that. Do you see the problem that we
have here, tiger Man, do you understand? Yeah, it's hard.
I think the giant what the giants should do to
answer your question, what the giants ought to do is
get a bunch of balloons and a cake and celebrate
that Waller is leaving because a little Looney Tunes you're
(32:46):
better off without him. You're better off without him, tiger Man.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, but then anybody could kind of leave and then
that went.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
That's usually how it works, though. You can leave at anytime,
like you're not you're not forced to work somewhere. You
can if you if you don't want to work, you
can quit, call the quitter.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I have a contract. Then then you're just you know.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Well, they don't have to they don't have to pay
the contract though. If you're not going to work, it's
service is not rendered, and then you're not going to
get paid. If you're supposed to show up somewhere. I
can baseball. All these contracts are guaranteed. But if you
don't show up, there's ways you can get out of it. Whatnot?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh all right, bet, I see your point. Keep doing
well on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Oh well, thank you. The radio, the radio show blows,
but the podcast is great, so we'll keep that going.
All right, All be well tied. There's a great tiger
man not checking it. Oh yeah, yeah, so not a
dimeback real quickly. A new lawsuit which we've been following this,
but there's some new details here. According to court papers
(33:49):
that were just filed that the NFL that payout. We
talked about this in the previous episode show the NFL
being sued over how much the Sunday ticket costs, and
and there's a story out now according to legal papers
that the NFL will have to pay if they lose
this up to that's weasel terminology, twenty one billion dollars
(34:12):
in damages. And this goes back to the direct TV
Sunday ticket. Now it's on YouTube TV. And according to
the legal papers, there were opportunities for the NFL to
have a non exclusive deal for Sunday ticket. But according
to the court papers, Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots,
(34:34):
he gave the insight into this here that they were
considering a non exclusive deal for the Sunday ticket that
would have lowered the price and decreased unfortunately, the overall
value of the television rights deal, and Robert Craft argued convinced,
I should say the other NFL owners that the major
(34:56):
broadcast partners would lower their payment if Sunday ticket were
more affordable. So they have they claim in this lawsuit.
You can say anything you want in legal papers, but
they're claiming they have the smoking gun that Robert Kraft
in this lawsuit. There were opportunities to make it more
(35:17):
accessible at a lower cost, and Robert Kraft was leading
the charge to make sure that did not happen. To
stick it to the NFL customer. That's your NFL, Robert Kraft,
all right, it is. Now just go to that day SPA.
That's all you do. Ton out for the who Ami game.
Dodger first baseman Freddy Freeman just became the seventy ninth
player to hit at least two homers against all thirty
(35:41):
MLB franchises. Hit a dinger against Kansas City on Sunday.
He joins Gian Carlos Stanton of the Yankees and me
as the other players to accomplish defeat here in twenty
twenty four. That's the who am I Game? The answer?
The answer is next.

Tyrack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Ay time Now for the who am I Game? A
blatant attempt to get you to listen a little bit longer,
Thus the who MI game? Here it is is Dodgers
have a first basement just played for the Braves. Freddy
Freeman wish he was still in it. I bet you
Freddy wishes he was still with the Braves. Remember a
breakdown last year? Anyway, Freddy Freeman became the seventy ninth
player to hit at least one homer against all thirty
(36:52):
MLV franchises. The last one left standing was Kansas City
hit home run on Sunday against the Royals. He joins
Gian Carlos Stanton of the Yankees and me as the
players to accomplish defeat here in twenty twenty four, So
it's already happened a couple of other times. That is
the question. What is the answer this? See? Does anyone
(37:12):
know the answer? We go to the Mallard Militia to
see who else do we have? A Cowboy Killer says
it has to be Wade Wilson aka Deadpool? Who else?
Rube Waddell from I forty Ian who they used to
have to stop the game for because he would leave
the stadium to see a passing fire truck going to
(37:33):
I forty Ian? Who do we have? Matt the Warrior
Raider Tom Brady roast Fans says, Douche Canoe Manny Machado
is the answer? Mark the full name guy says, I
truly believe Jet whu fled must have spilled his meth
and had to go get some more drugs. All right, well,
thank you for that. Mark very detailed there. Who else
do we have? Page dam the King Rory says Eastern
(37:54):
Michigan's three star recruit. Wow, that's got to be fake.
That can't be real. Okay, I don't think that really,
that's real. Who else we have page down, We'll skip
over that. Andrew in the Bay Area. He got it right, obviously,
back to his cheating ways. Bad job by Andrew. Alf
the alien ol Piner says, Benny the buggy bandit putting
(38:17):
on the brakes or the Costco cart crook. Yes, I
did tell the story over the weekend as I was
victimized by a shopping cart that shut off in the
middle of the street and I just left it there.
I said, screw you, that's it. I'm done. Enjoy little
shopping cart, you losers. Mighty Casey gets by the Casey
car haller. I want to hear that sorts on the
(38:38):
Fifth Hour podcast I think I was on Saturday. We
talked about that, Eddie. Do you have an answer, Eddie,
I need an answer.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
I'm gonna say former Dodger legendary first baseman Greg Brock.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Greg Brock, the man that replaced Steve Garvey unless he
did not, that is incorrect, Eddie. As if Freddie Freeman
became a seventy ninth player to home run again hit
a homer against every team he joined, John Carlos Stanton
and Marcelo's guys that did it. This year Marcel Ozuna.
He plays to the braves, beas women up
Here we go. Welcome. It's our number one as we
are hanging out with you on a Monday, the seventeenth
day of the month of June, coasting through the overnight
hours to provide you with fresh, piping hot audio content.
Don't forget this past weekend we had three new episodes
(00:21):
of the Fifth Hour Podcast, three of them, and you
can go back and here. I told some stories that
never before told, never before told, including one about the
shopping cart revenge, the buggy revenge that was I believe
on the Saturday podcast. But all kinds of fun. You
can check that out Fifth Hour Podcasts. It is imperative
if you're a P one super fan of the show
(00:42):
that you have to listen to that podcast as well
the Fifth Hour Podcast. But here on the original Recipe pod,
hour one, the rare and appropriate Mallard monologue about golf.
Did Bryson d. Chambeau win the US Open or did
Rory McElroy give it away? We'll talk about that. Also,
re irving set over the weekend that Luk at Dancik
(01:03):
made a few people eat their words after that Game
four Maverick blowout win over Boston. Is that how you
see it? And Why did Klay Thompson unfollow the Golden
State Warriors on social media? What's the endgame on that?
We'll go there as well. All of it coming your
way right now, big way for our number one. Oh
(01:30):
you got you gotta make the pot. You gotta even
I know that you gotta make the putt. Welcome in
the beginning of a brand new week of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, cranking up
the boombox as we start with a bang or maybe
(01:50):
a miss I don't know, Coast to coast, border the
motor and beyond on the vast and zestfully powerful microphones
of fs ammundating live from the seat higher top. We're
in the catbird seat here broadcasting live from the Tirak
dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help you get
(02:12):
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended in stars, a many almost
as many as I get comments from Eugene in Chicago
throughout the day. Tiraq dot com the way tire buying
should be. And we're back at it. Another week of
(02:35):
for volid here behind the microphones and we do something
we don't often do on this show. We go somewhere
that is a foreign land that we don't visit very often,
roughly four times a year unless there's a scandal. And
that would be the links. The rare and appropriate, rare
and appropriate Malard monologue about golf not a game, not
(02:57):
a game. We in here talking about golf. I know
it's shocking, but this is allowed by the sports talk
radio gods. It is June, and in June you're allowed
to talk about golf. So we had a major over
the weekend. I don't know if you watched any of this,
if you were consuming the content that took place, perhaps
perhaps not. But Bryson D. Chambeau gets the win. WHOA,
(03:22):
you're excited? No? He won the US Open wrapped up
on Sunday in North Carolina, second time, the second time
with the best shot of his life for the way
up Mike eighteenth old Pinehurst number two. And if you're
a golf and there you know what I'm talking about.
And people will reminisce about this and so oh can
(03:44):
you believe the shot that he made out but a dagger,
an absolute dack. De Roy McElroy in the final hour
or so as the crow flies d Chambeau wrapping up
the bowl on the package. They're up and down all around,
and from fifty five yards out of a bunker, a
(04:09):
four foot part putt ends up at one over seventy
one ends up winning the championship, as Roy McElroy had
been in position as the final day of the Major
went along. There in Pinehurst, North Carolina. There the golfer
that made headlines and the tabloids recently, Roy McElroy because
(04:32):
of a divorce. And then he said, Sike, just kidding,
not getting divorced. And now he said, Pyke, I'm going
to win the US Open. No I am not, No,
I am not. So let us discuss the question did
Bryson d Chambeau win the US Open or did Roy
McElroy gag it away? So I've got eat your veggies, Froggy,
(04:57):
and scrub a dub dub, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
a migraine headache, which I pretty sure, pretty sure that
Roy McElroy had a migraine headache here. So the question
did Bryce and d Chambeau win the Open or did
(05:18):
Roy McElroy lose the Open? That is what's known as
a rhetorical question. It's rather obvious here. While it was
a roller coaster ride, and d Chambeau did have the
lead at the start of the tournament final round at Pinehurst,
even with that, as someone who is a casual observer
of the product, I am not a regular customer of
(05:39):
the product. I am not, but as someone who's a
casual observer, make no mistake about it. Okay, we know
you and I both know a pratfall when we see
a pratfall. And Roy McElroy got a first class ticket,
first class ticket on the Vomit comet. As the day
(06:02):
progressed there on Sunday, you got off to a good start,
but you gotta finish what you start. You gotta finish
what you start. And he did not finish what he started.
And the entire thing was like a PSA. And I
know a thing or two about PSAs doing the Overnight show.
A lot of PSAs, right, a lot of PSAs. And
this was a PSA saying, hey, eat your veggies. Now,
(06:24):
what do I mean by that? Pretty simple? Right, pretty
simple here when you think of the family of vegetables,
Roy McElroy, he ate his vegetables Unfortunately, he ate the
art of choke. That's his favorite vegetable, the art butt
a choke. How bad was it? McElroy? He had a
two shot lead with five holes to play and then
(06:46):
he missed not one, but two putts within four yards
a putt. Yeah, I know, but you're not a professional golfer.
And here's the thing. What do I always say it?
There's no such thing as momentum, right those this thing
is momentum. No, this thing is momentum. Stat's tell you
what has happened, not what's going to happen. This is
a textbook example. If you watched the events at Pinehurst,
(07:09):
you know exactly the number I'm about to give you,
because it tells you what has happened, not what's going
to happen. Prior to Roy McElroy clanking the first of
the two failed punts, he was four hundred and ninety
six out of four hundred and ninety six putting inside
three feet this season on the PGA Tour. And then
(07:34):
he did the thing you can't do at the time,
you can't do it now. Near the end, McElroy watched
d Chambeau winning the tournament, watched it on a monitor
look like they were taping an episode of that prankster
show where to watch the monitor and tell tell the
people doing the prank what to do next and all that.
(07:55):
But he watched in the scorers room and then sped up.
More on that coming up, as the streak continues now
for Roy McElroy, as he ends now almost a ten year,
closing in on a decade since a major championship. And
as you know, in golf, nobody pays attention to the
waste management open. It's all about the majors. There's four
(08:17):
of those a year, and that's it all right now
page two, we crossover dribble now to the ENBA. Now,
when we last spoke in a previous episode of the show,
we were anticipating that we were going to have the
season end. By the time we got back, there'd be
no more finals games. That was it. But expect the
(08:40):
unexpected in pro bouncy ball. It did not end on
Friday night. It did not. Scott Foster was brought in.
He worked his magic there, Scott Foster the Extender. Of course,
it really wasn't the case of Scott Foster having anything
to do with the outcome of that game. But you
saw any part of that game, and I did. While
I was eating Fetichini alfredo on Friday, was watching the
game and the way the game played out on Friday,
(09:04):
there was an absolute Dallas mollywopping of Boston. Now, the
conspiratorial side of me would say, well, wait a minute. Here,
did somebody from Big Basketball called the Celtics and say, boys,
take the night off here, We'll have you win on
Monday night back home? We need an extra game on
Monday night. But sure enough, whether that happen or not,
there will be a Game five on a Monday night
(09:24):
at the Garden there the park in Boston. Now, following
the one is what I want to get you. So,
following the win, Kyrie Irving said, Luca Donzchik made a
few people eat their words with his performance in Game four,
the MAVs get to blowout win. They're a historical win
for the basketball team from Texas and a historical loss
(09:47):
for the Celtics. So is that how you see it?
Though the part where Kyrie Irving said that Luca made
a few people eat their words, so there was no
word eating that took place. I talked to several people
who are critics and not a single one of them
made any words. Bad job, yet another failed take by Kyrie.
We're gonna throw the yellow laundry on the field here
(10:10):
on this particular take as a false start penalty, premature
bad job by you, and we'll mark off the five yards,
will replay the down. Shame on you, Kyrie. That is
a foolish overreaction. Last I checked, the Boston Celtics are
still up three games to one. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe
that win was worth like three or four games. I
thought it was only worth one. And just keeping it
(10:33):
real here because why not? What else can we do?
Looking at this year? Over reaction? Overreaction? Luka Doncik is
the headliner? Is that right? Am I doing good? So
he's the headliner. He's the big baffo Soaco star who
has often had a froggy in his throat in the
(10:53):
NBA Finals? Am I wrong on that? Disappearing for stretches
in the second half, failing to get it done in
the fourth quarter the first three games, horrific numbers in
the fourth quarter. No defense, he's a designated hitter. He
does not play defense, does not believe in that foul
trouble and complaining non stop, thinking the world's out to
(11:16):
get him, because we all know in that business of basketball,
they always screw over the star players in the NBA.
They never give him a fair shake. Never ever does
a star player get the benefit of the doubt. Doesn't happen.
So Game five Celtics will wrap it up on a
Monday night, and then we can have their little parade,
the little duck pot parade will be what Wednesday or
Thursday of this week ourd last word, we go to
(11:38):
the Bay Area. Another story bubbling up recently in pro
bouncy ball, Why on God's green Earth did Clay Thompson?
Why did Clay Thompson unfollow the Warriors? On social media,
people over reacting to this story as well, We're here
were a measured response. So why did Clay Thompson decide
(11:59):
to unf We know he's going to be a free
agent and he is going to roam around the NBA
and he'll flirt with a bunch of different teams and
see what happened. So it's fair to say though this
was a act of hostility by Clay Thompson, it was
an active hostility by Clay Thompson. He sees the graffiti
on the wall. He would like to stay riding his
(12:21):
boat to work in San Francisco. He would like to
continue that, but he realizes the odds of that are
not particularly good. That the end is near. And so
when I say this is an active hostility the Warriors.
From what I've been told, they have offered him a contract,
but it's not what he wanted. You call it a
(12:45):
low ball offer. Although for me, I would think I
won the lottery, and you likely would think you won
the lottery. But if you're Klay Thompson, a player of
that's statue, this was an offensive offer. How dare you?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
He is doing the old scrubb a dub dub and
getting rid of all references to the Warriors on social media.
Good luck on that. Now, we have read the book
years ago. We read the book Idiot's Guide to Athletes
unfollowing teams on social media. I recommend it's good reading.
So based on that and just living life here and
(13:15):
seeing what's going on, you edit, you erase, and you disassociate,
but you do that with a hostile edge, because really
what Klay Thompson wants is he's deputizing the fan base
to raise a hullabaloo. He wants the Warrior fans to
do his bidding that if enough noise goes on social
(13:37):
media and radio shows and all all forms of media,
that you weaponize the fan base, you put pressure on
the Warriors front office to pay you more money to
keep you around, keep the band together even though the
band hasn't worked the last few years. And that's the
way it goes. It is the Ben Maler Show. If
you would like to be part, you can join us.

Roy McElroy not happy, Ink of Terror, writes and says,
I've never done this before, but I have to give
(15:56):
your opening Mallard monologue a failing grade. I've been waiting
all weekend for your hockey take greeting from Seattle, well Incup.
As you know, I was gonna lead with hockey, and
as I thought, maybe that'll be too much. I don't
want to rub it in. You know, Eddie's supposed the
hockey guy got it completely wrong. Uh. The Edmonton Orders
won by seventeen goals in the game over the weekend. UH.
(16:18):
Ferg Dog says the only performance and more embarrassing than
Rory over the weekend was the Florida Panthers. PA America's

only thing Eddie can do is sit there and watch.
That's it, Garcia. You're forced to watch our Edmonton just
like the Dallas Mavericks. It's easier to hockey. It's easier
(16:39):
to come back in hockey than basketball. No, it's not.
I'll explain the difference between a puck and a basketball, Eddie.
I'll teach you about a net in basketball and hockey.
The zamboni. There's no zamboni in basketball.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
The Panthers are in trouble. The Florida Panthers are in trouble.
The Edmonton Oilers. Edmonton Oilers are on their way back.
The Celtics are gonna win by twenty points game. Yes,
that is wrong. No, you're wrong, Eddy. It's a bad
job by you. I know you're coming off the weekend,
you had some time off, but that's a bad take. No, No,
(17:13):
I'm not. I never shut down, Eddie. My tics machine
does not shut down, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
I wish if you really believe that, you should be
talking about how much the Dallas Mavericks are going to
win the NBA fund.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
No, that's wrong because there's momentum aty for the Mavericks.
But with the with the Edmondon, there is momentum. As
that's the one example. There is momentum right there. You
know what percent Scrooge rights and says starting the show
with golf, there you go, Yes, because a guy choked
(17:42):
a well known there's only like five golfers, we know
who they are, and one of them coughed up along.
He choked so much. You understand if you do not
grasp the level of suckage that took place in North Carolina,
I can't help. That's where the story is. We go
where the story takes. Jordan says, the NBA needs the
(18:06):
Mavericks to win Game five to extend the series as
long as possible. Unfortunately for all of us who wants
sports talk radio to resume talking about real sports again?
What does that even mean? Jordan? Can you explain what
that even means real sports? I don't quite grasp what
(18:27):
you're going for there. I don't quite get that. But
that's fine. Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
to let's see here Eenie Meanie, mighty Mo. And we'll
say hello to Tony from the bay. Hello. What a
great way to start the week, ton Yeah, Tony's our
leadoff guy and a solid leadoff hitter. He never says
a bad word, never ends up getting dumped. Hello, Tony.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Hey man, how long does it take a paranoid to
read the Bible?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Well, lame jokes are actually on Friday, so you're doing
the lame jokes things on Friday. This is our Monday show.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So thanks for helping out.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Okay, thank you? All right, hanging up on you. See,
he was confused. He thought it was.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Great decision by you to put him on as the
leadof man.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well, no, I mean he's a little confused. He thought
it was the Friday show. We do lame jokes on Friday.
We do not do lame jokes on money. It's a
very serious show. It's a very serious show. So it's
been his great debate and that might that might be
going too far. Great debate mentioned Roy McElroy and he
had a hissy fit. He had a hissy fit. He
(19:33):
was watching the end of events in North Carolina there
from the clubhouse on a television and Roy McElroy trying
to win that first major championship in almost a decade.
So he missed not one but two three foot putts
late in the final round. We talked about that in
the malamnolog We did not get to the issue at hand, though,
(19:55):
and he missed one of the eighteen that would have
forced a playoff. But the man from Ireland, the Irish golfer,
did not have the luck of the Irish on his hands.
He was very upset. How upset was he, He stormed
on a rampage out of the golf locker room there
into the parking lot and was driven away. Just minutes
(20:16):
after Bryce and d Chambeau sunk the winning putt to
wrap up the major championship. But wait, there's more. McElroy
refused to meet with the media. He also declined an
interview from NBC, and this is created they were broadcasting
the terms. Now this is created quite the ruckus because
(20:41):
people are ripping. Some people are ripping McElroy saying what
are you doing? And then other people said, well, it's understandable.
He just lost a major championship. And so which side
do you fall on? Do you give Roy McElroy a
mulligan for being emotional and storming off in a rampage
and leaving and not talking to anyone, or do you
call him up? So I'll go first here and there's
(21:03):
only one answer you. This is a douche canoe move
by Roy McElroy. What a dumb ass, because I will
garon effin to you. Had he won that tournament and
it had been vice versa, he would have stayed there,
put makeup on, smiling from ear to ear interview. May
talk to me. I won. Everyone loves me. I'm a winner.
(21:27):
But instead he's a choke artist. He's a gutless loser
and he's a coward. Roy McElroy and he stormed off
with his powdy face. He had a conniption fit. Classless right,
Because this is nick we always talk about better story, losing,
locker room. That's why, that's what that is an example
of what I'm talking about. Roy McElroy is a band wagner.
(21:49):
He's a front runner. He's a show pony. That's what
the guy is. And tough loss, hard luck loss, and
get me out of here. I can't persian in front
of the Hams. What a joke, what an absolute bear.
I hope he never wins another major. Roy McElroy, screw
him running away like that? What a coward jerk as
(22:11):
How hard is it to go to sportscliche dot com
and come up with three or four cliches, repeat them
and then get the hell out of there? Not that hard?
Not that this job is not that difficult, and he
made it difficult. Shame on it.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Now I know you were glued to the UFL Championship
game on Fox as the Birmingham Stallions shut out the
Houston Brahmas, coached by Wade Wilson, who looked old back
when I remember him in the NFL. He really old now.
But anyway, twenty five to Nothing was the final for
the Birmingham Stallions, the former USFL team. They've won three
titles in a row. Howlf, But that's not the story.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Berry, the lead mo man, don't see Tom Brady on
the mic making his debut.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Game along with this is a bad sign.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
This is a bad sign for Tom Brady is a broadcaster?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Ready? Is that right?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Why?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Why?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Because they don't you know how much their Fox is
paying Tom Brady and his debut is a soft launch
when seven people are watching because they don't think he's
that good apparently, and he doesn't think he's that good
Brady either, Otherwise they would have had much fanfare. Tom
Brady makes his debut. There was no promotion, no none,
because Brady knows he's gonna suck as a broadcaster and
(23:30):
this was a way for him to try to work
out as a broadcaster. So's Romo came on like game Busters.
When Romo started, people love Tony Romo. Don't change history.
Do not change history. People love Tony Romo. They worshiped.
They were all Romo sexuals like me when and I
like Romo when he played for the Cowboys. But they
loved people loved Tony Romo and they couldn't get enough
(23:53):
of Romo and all that.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
He had a lot of enthusiasm. He still does. But
then then after a while you're like, yeah, he kind
of he kind of doesn't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, I don't know that he doesn't know what he's
talking about. I think it's just a case where he
people people, people, people have people. Yeah, yeah, I agree
that people doesn't know. But a lot of these guys
don't do their homework. They just show up because they
think I play all the people like Tom. You think
Tom Brady's gonna put the work in. Come on, do
you think he's gonna leave his Brentwood estate and uh,
(24:25):
you go out and do some market reaches? Come on,
he's not.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
I used to do his watch games. He watched watch
stuff on video.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
It takes time as time consuming. He put his work player.
He's hanging out with these the wokesters. That's what he does.
He's Tom Brady. He rolls in those circles. Come on.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Anyway, he was in the he was on the UFL
Championship broadcast and.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yes, and some people liked him and some people rip them.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Find that on the just google it.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Just google it. Just just google this. All you gona do.
It is the Ben Mahler's Joe. Let's have some fun.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
What do you.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Fun fact?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
All right?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
First fun fact made possible? Buy Express Pros. Ready for

here it is. There are no NBA Most Valuable Players
(25:24):
left in the twenty twenty four NBA Finals. You probably
knew about that, but this is something that has not
occurred in over thirty years, and only twice since the
nineteen fifties, that Dallas and that Boston are playing and
there's no finals for no MVPs in the finals. Now,
(25:45):
last year you had Nicola jokicch of the Nuggets. Steph
kurry Giannis was an MVP in twenty twenty one. Lebron's
been at a bunch of over the years. You gotta
go way way back since two thousand. This is the
first time and the modern era that it has happened.
And if you look at the all time record, the
(26:08):
last time it happened now nineteen fifty six. It's careed
twice since the nineteen fifty six NBA Finals, during the
nineteen ninety NBA Finals that was the Pistons and the
Portland Trailblazers, and now here in twenty twenty four. So
that's it. That's the fun fact. We'll get back to
the calls. I got Patrick in here tonight. Let's see
what we have. I can see the system's not really working,
(26:31):
so I have to click this over here because God
forbid the equipment work did a professional radio operation. Now,
let's say hello to Let's say hello to Jed who fled.
Hello Jed, he's my number two hitter. Hello Jed, welcome.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Man. You're either you're either hot or code. You're either
you're either like I'm premature.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
You know we wait so just for you complain when
I keep you on hold. Now you can plain. I'm
not keeping you on hold.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
I can't win you advance. What's what you're complaining about?
Other people complaining?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yes, I'm complaining by you complaining making me complain because
you're called up and you're not ready to go bat
job by you.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Shame on you at least at least your most forced
off radio. You're being Denny, dude, bit you. I love it.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Shame what shame is that? What are you doing? Why
you're not ready? Why would you call up not ready?
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Shame daddy?
Speaker 6 (27:31):
No, dude, I'm not here. I'm not breathing hard enough.
I don't I don't have the you know, I don't
have my blood pressure.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
I barely got high pretension. I'm not. I'm out here
in the swamp, the darkness. I haven't scared anybody yet.
I haven't min scared.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
All right, I'll put you on there. You want me
on hold for an hour?
Speaker 5 (27:45):
What do you want it?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Two hours? How long would you.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Like to be on hold?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Whatever our opinion is, Okay, all right, we'll put you
on and then we'll check back in an hour. And
I think he needs like an hour and a half.
I think we'll do an hour and a half. I'm
gonna put him in the Who's Goal Sports Talk Radio,
Who's Goal? Send him there. You're going to the Who's Gow.
That's it. You're done, dun Skis. That's it. It's over.
(28:14):
The great Unwashed on X have much to say. And
let's see here. King Roy says, I am around to
be one of the seven people who watched the UFL Championship.
I can't wait for next year because it will be
Saint Louis Battlehawk's year. Okay, Art Puffin says, existential take
(28:35):
on Roy McElroy. But it's not all his fault. You see,
he was born in Hollywood, Ireland.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
What do you expect?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Ferg Dog writes and says, the coach of the San
Antonio what do they call Eddie the bram Brahmas is
Wade Phillips not Wade Wilson, As Eddie says that true, Edie,
did you say Wade Wade?
Speaker 5 (28:57):
I said Wade Phillips, but I may have said said
Way Wilson. If I do I apologize to Wade Wilson.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Fergie said, well he's dead. Fergie says, is he is
he testing us? Or is he just wrong?
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Well I've always been I would tell you I was
testing you like he.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Is about the Edmonton Oilers. Yeah, people very upset with
your lack of knowledge when it comes to the Edmonton Orders.
I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
And like what what what?
Speaker 5 (29:19):
What on here? Why would that be probably confused as
to why you would say the oilers are coming back,
but because I knows aren't coming back.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
It's again, it's a different It's not different. It's apples
versus tangerines, different sports, but the situations of this there
are different things. Yeah, Wade Wilson, by the way, he's
been dead since twenty nineteen, so.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
You're you're way off on that. I've bet Wade Phillips
because I even said.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I've met him for coach, and you know, people heard
Wade Wilson.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
No I might I might have said that. I wouldn't
you know, that wouldn't put it past me. Things happen.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Well, hey, this is a professional operation here, we said,
since this is a this is a major network. So
we're on six hundred radio stations right nowady, come on,
I realized, I don't know when we started. We were
on like five, so I don't know what happened. It
is clearly a mistake. Somebody the company screwed up and
put us on all these radio stations. I don't know,
all right, Puffin says a plus on the Rundown Slash
(30:13):
Mallard monologue. Y'all know, let's see Alta Vila and MOOKI
were born only thirty days apart. Okay, we'll talk about Mookie.
He's out for probably a couple of months at least
for the Dodgers as he broke his hand, although they
say no surgery, and then if it doesn't heal, then
(30:33):
they'll have surgery and that'll delay things even longer. That's
usually how these things tend to work. And let's get
back to the calls. We're off to such a good
start on the phones, and we'll see here. Eeny meenie,
miney mail. Let's say hello to tiger Man in Utah. Now,
Patrick did not put a number in near his name,
so I'm gonna guess it's line three and we'll see here.
(30:53):
Hello tiger Man.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Hey, Ben, Hey, I just wanted to say you're Antonio
CROMARTI joke on the podcast today and Tyreek Hill joke
was unbelievable. I was slapping for about five minutes straight.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
So thank you. I appreciate that. I think I should
do stand up like Rob Parker I hung out with
over the weekend. We should go do stand up and
go to different comedy clubs, open Mike Knights and give
it a shot.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Hey, maybe this is kind of a dumb question, but
do you think that the Giants in the NFL should
try to go after Darren Waller for kind of, you know,
violating the contract? And I mean obviously you know Malik
Neighbors is the best things of slice Spread and he'll
do great in the Giants uniform.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Well, you know, people did not actually like slic Spread
when it debuted. Do you know that people actually like
to cut the bread themselves and were annoyed that the
corporations were trying to cut the bread for them. So
people did not like sl spread when it started. Yeah,
fun fact.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You know people like get today though, so do they
like it?
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Though?
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Can you?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Can you even buy a It's hard to buy a loaf.
I was at the bakery a couple of weeks ago,
and I wanted to buy a loaf of bread without
it being pre cut. Hard to get. Not easy to
find a loaf of bread. They're all cut for you.
It's not fair big bread limiting our ability as individuals
to cut the bread. Maybe I want to really thick
slice of bread and I could cut it myself. I
(32:24):
have a bread knife. Can't do it though? It's hard
to get that. Do you see the problem that we
have here, tiger Man, do you understand? Yeah, it's hard.
I think the giant what the giants should do to
answer your question, what the giants ought to do is
get a bunch of balloons and a cake and celebrate
that Waller is leaving because a little Looney Tunes you're
(32:46):
better off without him. You're better off without him, tiger Man.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, but then anybody could kind of leave and then
that went.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
That's usually how it works, though. You can leave at anytime,
like you're not you're not forced to work somewhere. You
can if you if you don't want to work, you
can quit, call the quitter.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I have a contract. Then then you're just you know.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Well, they don't have to they don't have to pay
the contract though. If you're not going to work, it's
service is not rendered, and then you're not going to
get paid. If you're supposed to show up somewhere. I
can baseball. All these contracts are guaranteed. But if you
don't show up, there's ways you can get out of it. Whatnot?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh all right, bet, I see your point. Keep doing
well on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Oh well, thank you. The radio, the radio show blows,
but the podcast is great, so we'll keep that going.
All right, All be well tied. There's a great tiger
man not checking it. Oh yeah, yeah, so not a
dimeback real quickly. A new lawsuit which we've been following this,
but there's some new details here. According to court papers
(33:49):
that were just filed that the NFL that payout. We
talked about this in the previous episode show the NFL
being sued over how much the Sunday ticket costs, and
and there's a story out now according to legal papers
that the NFL will have to pay if they lose
this up to that's weasel terminology, twenty one billion dollars
(34:12):
in damages. And this goes back to the direct TV
Sunday ticket. Now it's on YouTube TV. And according to
the legal papers, there were opportunities for the NFL to
have a non exclusive deal for Sunday ticket. But according
to the court papers, Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots,
(34:34):
he gave the insight into this here that they were
considering a non exclusive deal for the Sunday ticket that
would have lowered the price and decreased unfortunately, the overall
value of the television rights deal, and Robert Craft argued convinced,
I should say the other NFL owners that the major
(34:56):
broadcast partners would lower their payment if Sunday ticket were
more affordable. So they have they claim in this lawsuit.
You can say anything you want in legal papers, but
they're claiming they have the smoking gun that Robert Kraft
in this lawsuit. There were opportunities to make it more
(35:17):
accessible at a lower cost, and Robert Kraft was leading
the charge to make sure that did not happen. To
stick it to the NFL customer. That's your NFL, Robert Kraft,
all right, it is. Now just go to that day SPA.
That's all you do. Ton out for the who Ami game.
Dodger first baseman Freddy Freeman just became the seventy ninth
player to hit at least two homers against all thirty
(35:41):
MLB franchises. Hit a dinger against Kansas City on Sunday.
He joins Gian Carlos Stanton of the Yankees and me
as the other players to accomplish defeat here in twenty
twenty four. That's the who am I Game? The answer?
The answer is next.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Ay time Now for the who am I Game? A
blatant attempt to get you to listen a little bit longer,
Thus the who MI game? Here it is is Dodgers
have a first basement just played for the Braves. Freddy
Freeman wish he was still in it. I bet you
Freddy wishes he was still with the Braves. Remember a
breakdown last year? Anyway, Freddy Freeman became the seventy ninth
player to hit at least one homer against all thirty
(36:52):
MLV franchises. The last one left standing was Kansas City
hit home run on Sunday against the Royals. He joins
Gian Carlos Stanton of the Yankees and me as the
players to accomplish defeat here in twenty twenty four, So
it's already happened a couple of other times. That is
the question. What is the answer this? See? Does anyone
(37:12):
know the answer? We go to the Mallard Militia to
see who else do we have? A Cowboy Killer says
it has to be Wade Wilson aka Deadpool? Who else?
Rube Waddell from I forty Ian who they used to
have to stop the game for because he would leave
the stadium to see a passing fire truck going to
(37:33):
I forty Ian? Who do we have? Matt the Warrior
Raider Tom Brady roast Fans says, Douche Canoe Manny Machado
is the answer? Mark the full name guy says, I
truly believe Jet whu fled must have spilled his meth
and had to go get some more drugs. All right, well,
thank you for that. Mark very detailed there. Who else
do we have? Page dam the King Rory says Eastern
(37:54):
Michigan's three star recruit. Wow, that's got to be fake.
That can't be real. Okay, I don't think that really,
that's real. Who else we have page down, We'll skip
over that. Andrew in the Bay Area. He got it right, obviously,
back to his cheating ways. Bad job by Andrew. Alf
the alien ol Piner says, Benny the buggy bandit putting
(38:17):
on the brakes or the Costco cart crook. Yes, I
did tell the story over the weekend as I was
victimized by a shopping cart that shut off in the
middle of the street and I just left it there.
I said, screw you, that's it. I'm done. Enjoy little
shopping cart, you losers. Mighty Casey gets by the Casey
car haller. I want to hear that sorts on the
(38:38):
Fifth Hour podcast I think I was on Saturday. We
talked about that, Eddie. Do you have an answer, Eddie,
I need an answer.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
I'm gonna say former Dodger legendary first baseman Greg Brock.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Greg Brock, the man that replaced Steve Garvey unless he
did not, that is incorrect, Eddie. As if Freddie Freeman
became a seventy ninth player to home run again hit
a homer against every team he joined, John Carlos Stanton
and Marcelo's guys that did it. This year Marcel Ozuna.
He plays to the braves, beas women up
