the podcast on this Monday, July twenty eighth. Got the
first exhibition game in football this week at the trade
deadline in baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So there's a lot of cool stuff going on.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But here in hour number one, Stephen Jones, the Cowboys
executive VP, the spawn of Jerry. He said of Micah Parsons,
we want to pay Micah. He has to want to
be paid. What does that even mean? Also, a New
York Giants insider says quarterback Jamis Winston would only be
traded for a quote godfather offer. Does that pass the
(00:46):
smell test? And cam Ward has reportedly already won over
the Tennessee Titans. The rookie number one pick is at
the facility at five thirty every morning. How much stalk
do you put into that one? We'll get to all
of that and more right now, give it up for
our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Ratcheting up the tension, all the drama orama. Welcome, in
the beginning of another week of the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
We are in the air everywhere, You there me here
as we are off the grid, covered by the darkness
coast to coast, border.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
The border and beyond on the vast and humongously powerful
microphones of fs are ammating live. Do it live from
the position. We are in the pole position, kicking off
the brand new week here at the Fox Sports Radio
Studios as approved by the ostrich Ant and this portion
(01:53):
of the Ben Malor Show made possible in part by
our friends.
Speaker 1 (01:56):

Speaker 1 (02:18):
So we're back at it after the weekend and.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Later this week they'll be practice football, not real football,
but practice football, and our lead.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Is from the NFL.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
As the tensions get ratcheted up in Dallas, Cowboy Camp
in beautiful Auxnard, California, and more news out on Michah Parsons.
Very concerned about Michaeh Parsons in his four oh one
k very worried about He's already making a lot of money,
But you want to make more money? More, more and
more and more more money? Or does he want to
make more money? Possibly not? The jabbing continues here. The
(02:52):
latest salvo tossed out at Cowboy camp this following following
a group of fans that were yelling pay Micah, pay
Micah as the chance rained down on Jerry Jones, the
Cowboy owners during training camp over the weekend. So following that,
(03:14):
we discussed the commentary of the kid that would be
Stephen Jones and Stephen Jones, the Cowboys executive vice president.
He got the job because he happens to have the
right DNA, he said, of the situation involving the Cowboy
defensive player, he said, quote, we want to pay Micah too.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He has to want to be paid.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Close quote all right, So again Stephen Jones, the Dallas
Cowboys executive vice president, the son of Jerry, he got
the job because of DNA. Stephen Jones saying of the
contract squabble, he said, we want to pay Micah too.
He has to want to be paid. So what does
(03:59):
that even mean? That's the question. So I've got Expressway,
Garage Sale, and Macy's and we will combine all of
these things together and we are gonna make a biscuit
with some mashed potatoes and some gravy on the side.
So a using all of the top technology, and some
(04:21):
of you people use like advanced.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
AI and all.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
No, no, no, I have a decoder ring that works
for me. I have a decoder ring. That's all I
need and it's priceless. Got it years ago, my decoder ring.
So Stephen Jones is sending a message, a very public
message about Michael Parsons. Kind of obviously needed to decoder
ring to figure that part out. But this is, according
(04:44):
to the Dakota Ring corporate speak. All right, this is
corporate speak for we low balled Michael Parsons. We did
not offer him the contract that everyone thought we were
gonna offer Michael Parsons, and he did not bite at
the offer that we may and now we are shocked
that he didn't sign and say thank you, Can I
have another?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And so it's like they think that they're.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Entitled some kind of cowboy discount or something like that. Right, Oh,
there's gotta be some kind of discount or.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
No, no, so, but I like the positioning. Like the
positioning is, Hey, it's not our fault. It's Micah Parsons.
He's the bad guy here and they're playing hardball. Remember
that show you used to be on TV Hardball. They're
playing hardball here and the Cowboys. This is not so
much of a leak. There's other stuff that was leaked
over the weekend. This is more of a direct. It's
(05:34):
actually audio of Stephen Jones. Of course we don't have
it here, but the audio of Stephen Jones saying that.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
To the media.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But there's other stuff that was leaked as well, using
useful idiots in the media to make it look like
Parsons is the difficult one and all that stuff. So
it does not change my position. I have maintained I
have been locked in Benny's bunker. I am in Benny's
bucking when it comes to the Micah Parsons story. We
are on the expressway. There's no off ramps. We are
(06:06):
on the expressway. We are headed towards Critical Mass that
is where we are headed towards. And it's gonna come
down to the eleventh hour that first regular season weekend,
right before the Cowboys first game, and they're gonna melk
every single headline, right, just milk every single headline. Here,
classic Jerry Jones playbook technique there, the Cowboys, the glitz,
(06:30):
the glamour, the dysfunction, all of that, trying to run
out the clock and hope that Micah Parsons blinks. And
the Cowboys is pretty much just kind of going around
talking in circles and all that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That's what they do, which is good for.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Us because we get to break it all down scientifically
there and that they want to pay Michaeh Parsons, but
only on their terms. And the kicker of all kickers
on this and the part of it which is so
great is every man, woman and child knows that the fan,
the Cowboy fan, they talk a good game, but they'll
(07:08):
show up no matter what. It doesn't matter. They're there
for the star on the side of the helmet. They're
there for the aura. It's a captive audience. Jerry knows this.
Everyone knows this, and they're still gonna buy the jerseys.
They're still gonna go out there every year and we
believe this is the year and this is gonna be
everything's gonna go great. And why because the Cowboys, the
(07:28):
cowboy fan is in a toxic relationship with the front office.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's been that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Way for thirty years. And the great thing is a
lot of them don't even realize it. I was like,
I don't understand, no idea what this is all about. Anyway,
Now page two, here we go to Jersey. We head
to the swampland of New Jersey where a Giants insider,
a New York Giants insider says quarterback Jameis Winston would
(07:57):
only be traded for a quote godfather offer. So does
that one pass the smell test? A Godfather offer? So
this has got to be the dumbest thing I saw
all weekend. I don't know what the dumbest thing you
saw all weekend, it was in sports. But this is
the dumbest thing I saw all weekend in sports. A
godfather offer for Jameis Winston. So does that pass the
(08:21):
smell test? Not my sniffer, maybe yours. My schnaz test
is a no. Here, this is ridiculous. Here you talked
about a babbling, bumbling band of buffoons here that are
out there. Why would you even say that? But in
what world is that reality? Seriously, Jameis Winston. If my
(08:43):
math is right on this, Jameis Winston is the backup
to the backup. He's behind Russell Wilson, who should be
a backup, is not very good. He sucks and he's cooked,
and he's out there masquerading as the QB one for
the Giants, which you want.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Let me get straight. So you won a first round
pick for that would be the godfather.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Offer a first round pick for a guy who has
been bouncing around the NFL like a pinball and a
pinball machine in recent years.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So that is what you're going for here.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's not a Godfather off that This garage sale situation is.
What this is is a garage sale situation's absolute poppy cock, malarkey,
any of those big words if you want to use
now again, we love the player, Jamis Winston, famous, Jamis
the story. He's a great SoundBite, don't get me wrong.
He's he's got the charisma, he's entertaining, he's electric, much
(09:43):
of that for the wrong reasons, much of that.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
For the wrong for the wrong reasons. And he's one
man band.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
He'll throw four touchdowns and four interceptions and not even
work up a sweat not even a sweat as a starter.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
He's a loose cannon. He's not a star. He's a backup.
And everyone kind of knows that.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And so you're not exactly trading if you're the Giants,
you're not trading a Jameis Winston for anything more than
just a late round traffic.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
The idea that you're going.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
To get a boatload of unbelievable assets in return for
Jamis Winston when he often needs some kind of tracking
device on the football because he's gonna throw it to
the other team. Nobody's gonna make a godfather offer for
a backup quarterback. That's not gonna happen. And it sounds like,
after several minutes of analyzing this, it sounds like the
(10:37):
Giants are just trying to puff their chest out like
a rooster, and they're like, height, we have such a
great quarterback room.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
O MG, we are loaded.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
My god, look at us, How great are we? We
picked up the rotting carcass of Russell Wilson and we thought, well,
we have him. Let's draft a kid from college who
can't play, and then we'll get a guy, a veteran
as a backup who has been bouncing around because all
he does is throw it interception. Those are our three quarterbacks, right,
(11:08):
of course we all know if you have three quarterbacks,
we know what that means.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yes, of course none.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's kind of like the idea that the Giants would
even throw it out there, and this unless the inside
had just made it up this person that covers the giants.
But the idea that that would be the case. It's
like it's like going to the used car lot in saying,
all right, let me tell you something. I got this
twenty fifteen Mitsubishi Mirage. It's got three hundred thousand miles
on it. Okay, but I'm not leaving here unless I
(11:36):
get that blue Rolls Royce.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I am.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I'm willing to give up the Mitsubishi Mirage with three
hundred thousand miles from twenty fifteen, but I have to
get that blue Rolls Royce. Yeah, good luck on that, right,
Just like, come on, let's be real here, you're lucky
if somebody takes it off your hands and scraps it
at that particular point, that's the.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Way it is. And so add on that jamis is
an acquired It's kind of like oysters, who the hell
likes oysters. Weird people like oysters, right, or or liver
who likes eating liver? Weird people.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It's like that, And so nobody's giving you the old
Godfather offer for a stringy, slimy.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Type of mucus that is oysters.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
So good luck on that the Giants could trade Winston
and get some late round conditional draft pick and a
nice handshake and an autograph photo of somebody.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Sure they get that. Say thank you, ast say thank you?
All right now the last word.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
We now pivot to a story that was as predictable
as the sun rising and the sun setting.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Right. The story out of the Music City Dayline.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Nashville glowing reports, glowing reports from Titans camp about quarterback
cam Ward having already one reports that already won over
the room. Cam Ward no games played yet, cam Ward
has already won over the organization. He's at the facility
(13:08):
at five thirty every morning, every single morning.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Question. So cam Ward, according to these reports recently.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Has already already won over the Tennessee Titans, is at
the facility five thirty in the morning every morning. How
much stock do you put in to this one? So
how about zero? There's a penny stock not even that.
Not even a penny stock on this one. This is
(13:38):
the old eye roll, is what it's like. Here we
go again, Here we go again. You know, stop me
if you've heard this every quarterback draft at the top
of the draft, and pretty much that's exclusively quarterbacks that
go number one overall in the draft. It's almost always.
And so stop me if you've you've heard that. We
hear it every year. All that rookie quarterback, first guy
(14:01):
in the building, he's the last guy out. Of course
he is. He's he's that's what you're supposed to do.
You're a rookie quarterback. You better be there early. That's
how the job goes. That's the bare minimum. It's another
one of the story. He's talk about doing the bare minimum.
It's like saying the guy put pants on and and
(14:24):
then he came to work. Well he put pants on
before he came to Well, that's impressive. He put pants
on and then showed up to work. Are we gonna
get a parade for him brushing his teeth, flossing? Does
he get a parade for flossing? Is there a parade
for that? So this is the old boiler plate training
camp story, right, They roll these things out every single year.
(14:44):
They roll these stories out every single year, New rookie,
clean slate, extra film work.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
They love him in the building, he's got the trust
of the locker room, all of that.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Uh and uh, of course I always my default, always, well,
let me know when we actually see this person go
out there and do good things in a game, right,
and doesn't look like deer in the headlights when they're
out there running around. It's like, Okay, let's see if
this guy can do. It's the classic NFL.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Media pablum, is what it is. It's a classic.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
NFL media pablum where they're pumping the kid up like
he's the Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon and just pumping them
with air and it's all hot air. There's no substance there,
there can't be any substance. I saw one reporter say
that he's got command of the huddle already. We mentioned
that command of the huddle already, which I love that.
I think that's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
In training camp.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
He's been in the huddle for what a week? Are
we going to count rookie mini camp? Is that what
we're counting on this?
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Where are we going on this?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's the preseason exhibition echo chamber, and no one ever
wants to say, well, we don't really know where this
guy blows. We don't know if this guy's thinks or not.
He hasn't played yet. We don't want to say that.
So we are in the hype business. We have to
hype this guy up. So instead it's he's the first
one in the building and everyone loves him and he's
(16:09):
a great cam Ward number one picking the draft.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
That's not leadership. Again, I've said this, I've preached from
the bully pulpit for years.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's not leadership. Just showing up on time. Showing up
to your job on time. That's what you're supposed to do.
That's like, that's the again bare minimum. You don't get
a medal for punching in on the alarm clock. You
get the metal when you actually perform. Well, that's how
(16:37):
that works. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd

go listen to that when we're done with the show.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Just Josh in Cincinnati says, I don't know about a
Godfather offer for Jameis Winston, but a Chucky Cheese offer
seems more than adequate for a Hide and Jeckyll quarterback
mikey Cano. Don't you know checking in? He said, O Jerry,
who I met at the World Series years ago. She's
a big Red Sox fan in Rhode Island.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
There she's in.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
She's hanging out with us late and she was at
the twenty eighteen World Series. She says, Mallard, no Dodger
lead to begin the show. Even the Red Sox beat
them two out of three, why not talking about them?
There you go, it says, just kidding, having they lost
like thirteen of the last twenty. Yeah, well that's that
Dodger arrogance pisses me off man. They don't care. And
(20:25):
then Dodger fans in the same way as Oh, we're
gonna win the World Series. It doesn't matter. We're just
gonna flip the switch. And it's like, Okay, you're playing
like absolute dog poo poo right now, and you just suck.
It's terrible and you let that cheating a hole Alex Bregman,
the cheating astro. I don't care if he's wearing a
Red Sox uniform or not. Forever tainted.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
They are cheating of the Houston Strosan.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, Supermarcus Steve writs and says, if being first in
the building got you any credit with the company that
you work for, you guys be making cowhard money. You
guys are definitely first in the building. Unfortunately, credit pay
is based on quality.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
No, it's usually based on who you know. That's usually
how that works.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Brock writes and says, Hey, hey, Ben, a great show,
my man, great start listen, mister positive, this guy Brock,
It's gonna be a great week. Love listening late night

writes and says, get to the real top story of
the day, Ben, What did you think of Happy Gilmour too?
(21:34):
I watched it just so I was ready for your
in depth review. Was it everything you thought it would
be and more? Were you let down? Please tell us? Well,
I'm I'm gonna save the full review till later. I
might save that for the podcast. I did watch it.
It was not nothing memorable. It felt a lot like
(21:55):
Adam Sandler just wanted to get all his friends cameos.
That's pretty much why they made it, and get his
aughts some acting gigs there. And yeah, it's like, how
did they get how did they get Netflix to sign
off on that?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Seriously?
Speaker 5 (22:09):
I saw a list of just the names had in it,
and it was like this person's daughter this person's son, uncle,
all of Adam Sandler's kids, wife, uncle, nephew, niece, cousin.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, no, it was a lot of his family. But
then it was just like weird, Like, I don't did
we really need Travis Kelcey to.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Play the waiter? I mean, do we need that bad bunny?
I mean, is that concently?
Speaker 10 (22:31):
Don't need any of those?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, So that's where I am on that. Shane in
the Morning says, happy birthday, weed Man. Is his birthday?
He didn't called in other than on his day to
call in, which is Thursday and Friday. Truck Stop Fungus, right,
since says I'm starting to think that Joe Biden could
run the Cowboys better than Jerry Jones, the Great truck
(22:52):
Stop Fungus.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All right, Glory Hill.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, there you go, the Great Jerry Jones. It is
the Ben Malor Show. Let's see here, let's go to
the phones. We'll start out, well, here's a guy that
hasn't called the show in a long time, Ed in Arlington.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
A baseball savant. Ed and Arlington. I didn't know what happened?
Where's Ed? Ben? I had no idea? Hello Ed and Arlington,
Welcome Ben you mean to.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
Talk to you, to hear your voice live the phone
for change.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Welcome back. Where have you been at? It's been many,
many months since we spoke.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
I've been working my rear end off and trying to
shake my destraught feelings over the play of the Rangers
for the first half of the season. They've been a disgrace.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, they're playing better now. They're playing with better now.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Though, absolutely, Yeah, that's why I call it. They look
like they're starting to turn things around.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Oh that's not fair, though. You only call when they're
playing better. So if they continue to play like crap,
you wouldn't have called up. Come on, man's with that?
Speaker 11 (23:51):
Yeah, well I just didn't. Made for very entertained radio.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
No, no, no, that's a bad take. The greatest radio
is angry radio. Your team stink, that's great radio. That's
not when your team's going well. Who cares about that?
But the Rangers now have they've tied the Mariners, as
you know.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Because you're ed in Arlington.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
But the Rangers and Mariners are tied for the final
wildcard spot in the American League.
Speaker 11 (24:16):
Now, yeah, as bad as the Rangers have been playing,
you got to think they've got nowhere to go but
up from here because they've had solid starting pitching. Their
they're starting pitching has been second to none off season
on that's a pathetic, wet noodle core on the hitters
at the plate, and it looks like they're starting to
(24:39):
get a feel for it. And they've got Jack Peterson.
Thanks for sending him to us.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, he went to like he went to like seven
other teams before he got to you, So I don't
know he's.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Played for how many teams?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Jack Peterson all over the place, they got changes teams
every year, Cobbs, Braves, Giants, Diamondbacks, he's all over the place.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Didn't he suck all so by the way, at the
beginning of the year, wasn't he terrible? And he got
hurt years that suck?
Speaker 11 (25:04):
Yeah, he was choy pathetic. Yeah, it's time for him
to go find another sport. But we'll get our figures crossed.
He may be a little sparks that the ranger Hitterson used,
but they got some of their rookies why at Langford
Evan Carter that seemed to be playing up to their potential.
(25:27):
And then of course Cory Seger is Cory Sieger. He's
he's fantastic as Theoways and he can stay healthy, then
they got a shot.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Well that's always the problem with see her.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
He gets hurt all the time though, so that's as.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It should be an NBA player. He misses so much
times it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Well listen, Ed, I'm happy that they took the Rangers
to get on a little bit of a burner for
you to call back up. And then now that the
trade deadline is just a few days away. It's coming
up this week. The trade deadline's on Thursday, so there'll
be some crazy transactions to yap about, which will be
fun so that they.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Can some reinforcements. But we'll see they may have to
show with her they've got.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But that's that's.
Speaker 11 (26:07):
Still the reason for for hope optimism there.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, there there have been a fair amount of trades
over the weekend, but nobody that really moves the needle, like,
nobody that really gets you all excited. Yeah, all right, well,
thank you, Ed. All right, I'm going I'm hanging up
on you, the great Edit Arlington. Thank you baseball guy,
old school baseball guy.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Edit Arlington.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
We go way back Hot Ranger talk with Edit Arlington
and is that are we not on the pulse of
what the average overnight sports radio listener wants to hear it.
Come on, absolutely, more Texas Ranger baseball. That's what we need.
And if we talk more Texas Ranger baseball, like guy Charlie,
a kid, call her Charlie from Dallas.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
We'll call back up.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, we miss him.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Let's see. I know what happened.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
He's having a great summer vacation.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You think he took the summer off, because that's why
stop calling.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
He's got to be right clearly.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, okay, homeschool or.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
He got grounded from his radio because he was staying
up all night.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
But he did homeschool. You can do that whenever you
don't have to. It's a home school. It's easy.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
King Rory says was been in the Happy Gilmore. No,
I was one of the few people that didn't make
a cameo and Happy Gilmore too. I'm upset. I mean
I saw it. He blew me off. I saw Steven
A in there. I saw Dan Patrick a couple of
times in there were some podcast people. Have no idea
who they were. Apparently they're famous.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't know. They just threw them in there like anybody.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Like if you met Adam Sandler years ago at Statement
it was called Staple Center.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
He was going to a Clipper game against the.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Knicks, and he walked in through the regular entrance, not
the Hollywood celebrity ff you know, screw you entrance, to
the Hollywood lead entrance. He walked in Sandler through the
regular entrance. How do I know this because I was
walking to my seat and he bumped into me because
he had his head down, thinking that no one would
recognize him if he just walked in through the main
(27:59):
entrance and at it head down, and I would not
have recognized him if he had not walked headfirst into me.
And then I immediately realized, wait, I think that's Adam Sambler.
And then they showed him on on the jumbo tron
later and was indeed Adam sam Let's go to Jay Scoop,
who's hanging out in northern California. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Jay Scoop?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Welcome a congratulations by the way, the winner of the
Mallard Palooza twenty twenty five, Jay Scoop and just Josh.
Speaker 11 (28:32):
Yeah, baby.
Speaker 12 (28:35):
Brought it home again. But thanks for putting that on,
you know, just doing my due diligence. I wanted to
do the Hull Cogan entry music, but I missed out
when I tried to call him that day, so all
the other WHOLEK maniacs were calling in. But that was
(28:56):
a great show, by the way. I loved hearing all
stories that everybody. It just seemed like so many people
had good, good stories of growing up and you know,
Hull Hogan touching their lives. And anybody who didn't catch
that show, I highly recommend you check out the podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, a classic for hul Cogan. Man, if you're of
a certain age, Haul Hogan was one of your child
but whether whether he was a hero or not, just
somebody that influenced you growing up.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I just I don't if you're around my age or
your age, Jay Scoop, I just think that's just the
way it is.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
Man.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You get to a certain age as a kid, you
watch professional wrestling.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Even today. I still think I still think today it's
the same. That hasn't changed. It's there's other distractions, but
you're still watching.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
Like I'll never forget when he lifted Andre the Giant.
I mean, I was like as a kid, I was
just like what the And you know, as an adult
now I'd be thinking like, how is the spine not
like this snap?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
You know? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, well all all that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Like I love the promos, just the over the top
nonsense where it's come out screaming and yelling at me
and g and Oakerland for some crappy wrestling card getting
kids to show up.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
And like, oh, the whole the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I have fond memories of that, but probably because you
know it was our youth, right, I mean, you look
back fondly, right, Jay Scoop, you don't look back at it.
I might have been like, oh I want to watch
this crap, and my in my head, I loved all
of it.
Speaker 12 (30:30):
I loved everything exactly exactly. And how many of us
went off the top rope at home simply because of
Whulk Hogan making it so popular popular?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I did the whole thing. I
did the whole like I can't hear you. You know
my brothers were talking trash with my hand. I do that,
you know, the whole thing, So absolutely, Jay Scoop, All right, buddy.
Speaker 12 (30:52):
Well thanks, before I before I cut out was Bill
Miller pissed off that he didn't get to do any
voting in.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Student for the Yeah, but Bill Is filed the complaint
with HR so it was a formal complaint there that
Bill was not allowed to vote, which is not not right.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
But Nkatara did a good job. I thought, I think
it was solid.
Speaker 12 (31:11):
As a judge and hell yeah yeah, and we got
we gotta.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
We got to broaden horizon. I think we got promoted more.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Next year, we've got to start earlier, have a firm date,
and we'll get some less comedy. As I ranted on
the Fifth Hour podcast over the weekend, just a little
less comedy.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I don't people aren't funny. You're not.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
And even if you are funny, it's almost impossible to
be funny. Well no, it's it's almost impossible. If you
just you could bring any famous comedian whoever you think
the funniest person is, and you put them with no
nobody laughing. It's it's impossible.
Speaker 12 (31:45):
Yeah, so yeah, yeah, that's that's pretty crazy. That's like
some of those shows on TV, like during COVID when
there was no audiences and they're trying to perform, Well.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
We would the Three of us would be laughing if
it was funny.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, it was just now all right, thank you, Jay Scoop,
All right, go away. There's a Jay Scoop checking in
big winner at the mallow Paloozer. I should have kept
him on for this, but I guess I hung up
too soon. So I would like to rip the Hall
of Fame now, not the Baseball Hall of Fame. I
would like to take a shot at the mascot Hall
of Fame. I was watching the Sunday night game and
(32:21):
they had a big to do that The newest inductee
in the Mascot Hall of Fame, lou Seal not right,
not two thumbs down on lo now. Louciale is the
San Francisco Giants mascot who and was inducted. They had
a Gallas ceremony at the Giants ballpark last night on
(32:43):
Sunday Night baseball. They had the Mets mascot, Mister Met.
They had the Philly fanatic. I saw the Shark's mascot.
Was there some of those other mascots.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I don't even know who they were.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
They were kind of hanging out there. But lou Seal
not not on the same line. Not it should not
be even mentioned in the same breath with mister met
and the Philly Fanatic, And it's a great injustice to
all the real mascots that matter that moved the needle,
like the aforementioned mister Mett, Philly Fanatic, Chuck the Condor
(33:15):
with the clippers, those are the real mascots that moved
the needle. The Rocky, the mascot of the Denver Nuggets
that died famously at the top of the arena, passed
out and they took his body down from the rafters,
one of the great video clips of all time. Those
are the mascots that should be the gorilla in Phoenix.
That's a Hall of Fame mascot. Lose Seal, my fat ass.
(33:37):
I do not want to live in a world where
lou Seal is a Hall of Fame mascot. That is
bull crap. I want to know the names of everyone
who voted on that. Lou Seal not a Hall of
Fame mascot. Bad job by the mascot Hall of Fame,
which I think is in Indiana.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
Wait wait, Ben, yes, is it really a seal?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
It's moving.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I didn't hear talk of you, but that's the seal. Right,
that's a that's the great Luigi Francisco seal.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
That no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
I just know it's not a Hall of Fame mascot.
It's simply not a Hall of Fame mascot. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
And they have little pregame ceremony the parents out there,
and it was like tug at the mascot heartstrings and
all that, and I think it was it was crap.
All right, time now for the Well, let's get to
the play of the day. Why not. We have to
get to the player today. We'll go.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It was selected by Coop. I would not have picked this,
but here it is Mike Trout the player today. Deglaus
the center field Roderiga's Rockchi down. That's it right bat there.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Wow, half way up to batters eye in center field.
Mike Trout joins the foundsand RBI club they style two
run bombed center all right.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
That was from Roku TV, as Major League Baseball gets
you to pay for seventeen different streaming services. It was
the tire play of the Day. For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation tyre raq dot com. The
(35:16):
way tire buying should be. Angels ended up beating the
Mariners in that game.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Mike trout the two run homer. As you heard. That
is the tire i Raq play of the day. Time
Now for the who am I? Game? And this is
where we go to the sports trivia basket.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Here it is Pirates pitcher Paul Skeens has completed twenty
two straight first innings without allowing a run this season.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Twenty two consecutive.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
That is tied for the longest streak to begin any
Major League Baseball campaign the past fifty years. Alongside me
and someone named Rhys Olsen. Again, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul
Skeens has completed twenty two straight first innings without allowing
a run this season, and it's tied for the longest
(36:03):
streak to begin any Major League Baseball season in the
last fifty years, along with me and someone named Rhys Olsen.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Who am I? That is the question? The answer will
get to it and we will do it next.

Paul Skins The Pirates Paul Skins has completed twenty two
straight first innings without allowing a run so far this season.
Here we are in late July. That is tied for
(37:39):
the longest streak to begin any Major League Baseball campaign
in the last fifty years.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Along with me and Rhys Olsen. Who am I? That
is the question? What is the answer? Let's see does
anyone know the answer? Random?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Ryan in Carolina says the Marlborough Man and Sam Donald's
dick hammer is the answer. Bobby in Florida going with
Punky Brewster. Who else we have? Stuck in Sacramento says Dwight.
I have a coke and a smile. Gooden, who is
the way to go?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Funhouse? Is up with us? He says. Chris Zorwich is
the answer? Notre Dame legend.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Remember that there was an era in football where all
the linebackers had the shirt the jersey tucked up and
they wanted to show off the chest.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I don't see that as much anymore. What do we have?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
I forty Ian's going with Dodger Brooklyn Dodger legend, Van
Lingle Mungo as his answer, Pat Tabler Royal's legend and
Indians legend from mister nice guy. That's his answer. Mala
prop guy said, Justin Cooper is the answer when Coops
gained some weight in that photo. Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Page down? King Royce is just King Royce, says future
mascot Hall of Famer Bernie Brewer is the answer. Bernie Brewer,
who still gives nightmares to our mortal enemy.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Veass say, alf the alien Olpiner says the Hoaster brother
that that's the answer.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
The Real Giants Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Mascot the Crazy Crab, Yeah, the crab. Jay Scoop wrote
that yes, the Crab belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Lou Seal, no way, And like I said, it's embarrassment.
It is an absolute embarrassment to the mascot Hall of
Fame that Luciale got in there. Lou Seal does not belong.
(39:33):
Tell me something great Lucial's done. Seriously, tell me something,
tell me a great big I can tell you. Mister
Matt flipping off the camera getting on the New York Post.
That's hilarious. The Philly fanatic back in the day with Tommy,
those are great bits.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
What is lou Seal done? The answer is nothing? All right, Lorenda,
do you have an answer? Loraada to the who am
I game? Question?
Speaker 10 (39:55):
Yes, I'm gonna go with Will Ferrell Bett.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I think you might cut off there at the end. Know,
it's a one Guzman back in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
So Paul schemes twenty two straight first things without a
long and run tied for.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
The longest week with one Guzman back in nineteen ninety
two and Reese Olsen last year. Let's say hello to Travis,
who's in southern California. Hello Travis in the South Bay,

hours a night. I want to talk about sports. Come

He we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number one hour one and we begin
a brand new week of the Ben Mathers Show here
on Fox Sports Radio. We thank you for listening to
the podcast on this Monday, July twenty eighth. Got the
first exhibition game in football this week at the trade
deadline in baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So there's a lot of cool stuff going on.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But here in hour number one, Stephen Jones, the Cowboys
executive VP, the spawn of Jerry. He said of Micah Parsons,
we want to pay Micah. He has to want to
be paid. What does that even mean? Also, a New
York Giants insider says quarterback Jamis Winston would only be
traded for a quote godfather offer. Does that pass the
(00:46):
smell test? And cam Ward has reportedly already won over
the Tennessee Titans. The rookie number one pick is at
the facility at five thirty every morning. How much stalk
do you put into that one? We'll get to all
of that and more right now, give it up for
our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Ratcheting up the tension, all the drama orama. Welcome, in
the beginning of another week of the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
We are in the air everywhere, You there me here
as we are off the grid, covered by the darkness
coast to coast, border.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
The border and beyond on the vast and humongously powerful
microphones of fs are ammating live. Do it live from
the position. We are in the pole position, kicking off
the brand new week here at the Fox Sports Radio
Studios as approved by the ostrich Ant and this portion
(01:53):
of the Ben Malor Show made possible in part by
our friends.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
At ti Iraq. For over forty years.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Tyraq been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship fast and free, backed
by free road hazard protection as approved by ferg Dog
and Alf the Alien Opiner, with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com the way tire
buying show'd be.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So we're back at it after the weekend and.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Later this week they'll be practice football, not real football,
but practice football, and our lead.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Is from the NFL.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
As the tensions get ratcheted up in Dallas, Cowboy Camp
in beautiful Auxnard, California, and more news out on Michah Parsons.
Very concerned about Michaeh Parsons in his four oh one
k very worried about He's already making a lot of money,
But you want to make more money? More, more and
more and more more money? Or does he want to
make more money? Possibly not? The jabbing continues here. The
(02:52):
latest salvo tossed out at Cowboy camp this following following
a group of fans that were yelling pay Micah, pay
Micah as the chance rained down on Jerry Jones, the
Cowboy owners during training camp over the weekend. So following that,
(03:14):
we discussed the commentary of the kid that would be
Stephen Jones and Stephen Jones, the Cowboys executive vice president.
He got the job because he happens to have the
right DNA, he said, of the situation involving the Cowboy
defensive player, he said, quote, we want to pay Micah too.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He has to want to be paid.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Close quote all right, So again Stephen Jones, the Dallas
Cowboys executive vice president, the son of Jerry, he got
the job because of DNA. Stephen Jones saying of the
contract squabble, he said, we want to pay Micah too.
He has to want to be paid. So what does
(03:59):
that even mean? That's the question. So I've got Expressway,
Garage Sale, and Macy's and we will combine all of
these things together and we are gonna make a biscuit
with some mashed potatoes and some gravy on the side.
So a using all of the top technology, and some
(04:21):
of you people use like advanced.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
AI and all.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
No, no, no, I have a decoder ring that works
for me. I have a decoder ring. That's all I
need and it's priceless. Got it years ago, my decoder ring.
So Stephen Jones is sending a message, a very public
message about Michael Parsons. Kind of obviously needed to decoder
ring to figure that part out. But this is, according
(04:44):
to the Dakota Ring corporate speak. All right, this is
corporate speak for we low balled Michael Parsons. We did
not offer him the contract that everyone thought we were
gonna offer Michael Parsons, and he did not bite at
the offer that we may and now we are shocked
that he didn't sign and say thank you, Can I
have another?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And so it's like they think that they're.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Entitled some kind of cowboy discount or something like that. Right, Oh,
there's gotta be some kind of discount or.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
No, no, so, but I like the positioning. Like the
positioning is, Hey, it's not our fault. It's Micah Parsons.
He's the bad guy here and they're playing hardball. Remember
that show you used to be on TV Hardball. They're
playing hardball here and the Cowboys. This is not so
much of a leak. There's other stuff that was leaked
over the weekend. This is more of a direct. It's
(05:34):
actually audio of Stephen Jones. Of course we don't have
it here, but the audio of Stephen Jones saying that.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
To the media.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But there's other stuff that was leaked as well, using
useful idiots in the media to make it look like
Parsons is the difficult one and all that stuff. So
it does not change my position. I have maintained I
have been locked in Benny's bunker. I am in Benny's
bucking when it comes to the Micah Parsons story. We
are on the expressway. There's no off ramps. We are
(06:06):
on the expressway. We are headed towards Critical Mass that
is where we are headed towards. And it's gonna come
down to the eleventh hour that first regular season weekend,
right before the Cowboys first game, and they're gonna melk
every single headline, right, just milk every single headline. Here,
classic Jerry Jones playbook technique there, the Cowboys, the glitz,
(06:30):
the glamour, the dysfunction, all of that, trying to run
out the clock and hope that Micah Parsons blinks. And
the Cowboys is pretty much just kind of going around
talking in circles and all that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That's what they do, which is good for.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Us because we get to break it all down scientifically
there and that they want to pay Michaeh Parsons, but
only on their terms. And the kicker of all kickers
on this and the part of it which is so
great is every man, woman and child knows that the fan,
the Cowboy fan, they talk a good game, but they'll
(07:08):
show up no matter what. It doesn't matter. They're there
for the star on the side of the helmet. They're
there for the aura. It's a captive audience. Jerry knows this.
Everyone knows this, and they're still gonna buy the jerseys.
They're still gonna go out there every year and we
believe this is the year and this is gonna be
everything's gonna go great. And why because the Cowboys, the
(07:28):
cowboy fan is in a toxic relationship with the front office.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's been that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Way for thirty years. And the great thing is a
lot of them don't even realize it. I was like,
I don't understand, no idea what this is all about. Anyway,
Now page two, here we go to Jersey. We head
to the swampland of New Jersey where a Giants insider,
a New York Giants insider says quarterback Jameis Winston would
(07:57):
only be traded for a quote godfather offer. So does
that one pass the smell test? A Godfather offer? So
this has got to be the dumbest thing I saw
all weekend. I don't know what the dumbest thing you
saw all weekend, it was in sports. But this is
the dumbest thing I saw all weekend in sports. A
godfather offer for Jameis Winston. So does that pass the
(08:21):
smell test? Not my sniffer, maybe yours. My schnaz test
is a no. Here, this is ridiculous. Here you talked
about a babbling, bumbling band of buffoons here that are
out there. Why would you even say that? But in
what world is that reality? Seriously, Jameis Winston. If my
(08:43):
math is right on this, Jameis Winston is the backup
to the backup. He's behind Russell Wilson, who should be
a backup, is not very good. He sucks and he's cooked,
and he's out there masquerading as the QB one for
the Giants, which you want.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Let me get straight. So you won a first round
pick for that would be the godfather.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Offer a first round pick for a guy who has
been bouncing around the NFL like a pinball and a
pinball machine in recent years.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So that is what you're going for here.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's not a Godfather off that This garage sale situation is.
What this is is a garage sale situation's absolute poppy cock, malarkey,
any of those big words if you want to use
now again, we love the player, Jamis Winston, famous, Jamis
the story. He's a great SoundBite, don't get me wrong.
He's he's got the charisma, he's entertaining, he's electric, much
(09:43):
of that for the wrong reasons, much of that.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
For the wrong for the wrong reasons. And he's one
man band.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
He'll throw four touchdowns and four interceptions and not even
work up a sweat not even a sweat as a starter.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
He's a loose cannon. He's not a star. He's a backup.
And everyone kind of knows that.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And so you're not exactly trading if you're the Giants,
you're not trading a Jameis Winston for anything more than
just a late round traffic.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
The idea that you're going.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
To get a boatload of unbelievable assets in return for
Jamis Winston when he often needs some kind of tracking
device on the football because he's gonna throw it to
the other team. Nobody's gonna make a godfather offer for
a backup quarterback. That's not gonna happen. And it sounds like,
after several minutes of analyzing this, it sounds like the
(10:37):
Giants are just trying to puff their chest out like
a rooster, and they're like, height, we have such a
great quarterback room.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
O MG, we are loaded.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
My god, look at us, How great are we? We
picked up the rotting carcass of Russell Wilson and we thought, well,
we have him. Let's draft a kid from college who
can't play, and then we'll get a guy, a veteran
as a backup who has been bouncing around because all
he does is throw it interception. Those are our three quarterbacks, right,
(11:08):
of course we all know if you have three quarterbacks,
we know what that means.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yes, of course none.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's kind of like the idea that the Giants would
even throw it out there, and this unless the inside
had just made it up this person that covers the giants.
But the idea that that would be the case. It's
like it's like going to the used car lot in saying,
all right, let me tell you something. I got this
twenty fifteen Mitsubishi Mirage. It's got three hundred thousand miles
on it. Okay, but I'm not leaving here unless I
(11:36):
get that blue Rolls Royce.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I am.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I'm willing to give up the Mitsubishi Mirage with three
hundred thousand miles from twenty fifteen, but I have to
get that blue Rolls Royce. Yeah, good luck on that, right,
Just like, come on, let's be real here, you're lucky
if somebody takes it off your hands and scraps it
at that particular point, that's the.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Way it is. And so add on that jamis is
an acquired It's kind of like oysters, who the hell
likes oysters. Weird people like oysters, right, or or liver
who likes eating liver? Weird people.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It's like that, And so nobody's giving you the old
Godfather offer for a stringy, slimy.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Type of mucus that is oysters.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
So good luck on that the Giants could trade Winston
and get some late round conditional draft pick and a
nice handshake and an autograph photo of somebody.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Sure they get that. Say thank you, ast say thank you?
All right now the last word.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
We now pivot to a story that was as predictable
as the sun rising and the sun setting.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Right. The story out of the Music City Dayline.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Nashville glowing reports, glowing reports from Titans camp about quarterback
cam Ward having already one reports that already won over
the room. Cam Ward no games played yet, cam Ward
has already won over the organization. He's at the facility
(13:08):
at five thirty every morning, every single morning.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Question. So cam Ward, according to these reports recently.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Has already already won over the Tennessee Titans, is at
the facility five thirty in the morning every morning. How
much stock do you put in to this one? So
how about zero? There's a penny stock not even that.
Not even a penny stock on this one. This is
(13:38):
the old eye roll, is what it's like. Here we
go again, Here we go again. You know, stop me
if you've heard this every quarterback draft at the top
of the draft, and pretty much that's exclusively quarterbacks that
go number one overall in the draft. It's almost always.
And so stop me if you've you've heard that. We
hear it every year. All that rookie quarterback, first guy
(14:01):
in the building, he's the last guy out. Of course
he is. He's he's that's what you're supposed to do.
You're a rookie quarterback. You better be there early. That's
how the job goes. That's the bare minimum. It's another
one of the story. He's talk about doing the bare minimum.
It's like saying the guy put pants on and and
(14:24):
then he came to work. Well he put pants on
before he came to Well, that's impressive. He put pants
on and then showed up to work. Are we gonna
get a parade for him brushing his teeth, flossing? Does
he get a parade for flossing? Is there a parade
for that? So this is the old boiler plate training
camp story, right, They roll these things out every single year.
(14:44):
They roll these stories out every single year, New rookie,
clean slate, extra film work.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
They love him in the building, he's got the trust
of the locker room, all of that.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Uh and uh, of course I always my default, always, well,
let me know when we actually see this person go
out there and do good things in a game, right,
and doesn't look like deer in the headlights when they're
out there running around. It's like, Okay, let's see if
this guy can do. It's the classic NFL.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Media pablum, is what it is. It's a classic.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
NFL media pablum where they're pumping the kid up like
he's the Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon and just pumping them
with air and it's all hot air. There's no substance there,
there can't be any substance. I saw one reporter say
that he's got command of the huddle already. We mentioned
that command of the huddle already, which I love that.
I think that's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
In training camp.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
He's been in the huddle for what a week? Are
we going to count rookie mini camp? Is that what
we're counting on this?
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Where are we going on this?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's the preseason exhibition echo chamber, and no one ever
wants to say, well, we don't really know where this
guy blows. We don't know if this guy's thinks or not.
He hasn't played yet. We don't want to say that.
So we are in the hype business. We have to
hype this guy up. So instead it's he's the first
one in the building and everyone loves him and he's
(16:09):
a great cam Ward number one picking the draft.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
That's not leadership. Again, I've said this, I've preached from
the bully pulpit for years.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's not leadership. Just showing up on time. Showing up
to your job on time. That's what you're supposed to do.
That's like, that's the again bare minimum. You don't get
a medal for punching in on the alarm clock. You
get the metal when you actually perform. Well, that's how
(16:37):
that works. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd

one Ben Maler show. Berner Account says, meet Paul mallor

monologue as usual. Then he said, shout out to the
Fifth Hour podcast, which.
Speaker 1 (19:36):

go listen to that when we're done with the show.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Just Josh in Cincinnati says, I don't know about a
Godfather offer for Jameis Winston, but a Chucky Cheese offer
seems more than adequate for a Hide and Jeckyll quarterback
mikey Cano. Don't you know checking in? He said, O Jerry,
who I met at the World Series years ago. She's
a big Red Sox fan in Rhode Island.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
There she's in.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
She's hanging out with us late and she was at
the twenty eighteen World Series. She says, Mallard, no Dodger
lead to begin the show. Even the Red Sox beat
them two out of three, why not talking about them?
There you go, it says, just kidding, having they lost
like thirteen of the last twenty. Yeah, well that's that
Dodger arrogance pisses me off man. They don't care. And
(20:25):
then Dodger fans in the same way as Oh, we're
gonna win the World Series. It doesn't matter. We're just
gonna flip the switch. And it's like, Okay, you're playing
like absolute dog poo poo right now, and you just suck.
It's terrible and you let that cheating a hole Alex Bregman,
the cheating astro. I don't care if he's wearing a
Red Sox uniform or not. Forever tainted.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
They are cheating of the Houston Strosan.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, Supermarcus Steve writs and says, if being first in
the building got you any credit with the company that
you work for, you guys be making cowhard money. You
guys are definitely first in the building. Unfortunately, credit pay
is based on quality.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
No, it's usually based on who you know. That's usually
how that works.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Brock writes and says, Hey, hey, Ben, a great show,
my man, great start listen, mister positive, this guy Brock,
It's gonna be a great week. Love listening late night
to the show. Cannot wait to see what's coming up.
Look at that, mister positive over there. Brock ferg Dog
writes and says, get to the real top story of
the day, Ben, What did you think of Happy Gilmour too?
(21:34):
I watched it just so I was ready for your
in depth review. Was it everything you thought it would
be and more? Were you let down? Please tell us? Well,
I'm I'm gonna save the full review till later. I
might save that for the podcast. I did watch it.
It was not nothing memorable. It felt a lot like
(21:55):
Adam Sandler just wanted to get all his friends cameos.
That's pretty much why they made it, and get his
aughts some acting gigs there. And yeah, it's like, how
did they get how did they get Netflix to sign
off on that?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Seriously?
Speaker 5 (22:09):
I saw a list of just the names had in it,
and it was like this person's daughter this person's son, uncle,
all of Adam Sandler's kids, wife, uncle, nephew, niece, cousin.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, no, it was a lot of his family. But
then it was just like weird, Like, I don't did
we really need Travis Kelcey to.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Play the waiter? I mean, do we need that bad bunny?
I mean, is that concently?
Speaker 10 (22:31):
Don't need any of those?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, So that's where I am on that. Shane in
the Morning says, happy birthday, weed Man. Is his birthday?
He didn't called in other than on his day to
call in, which is Thursday and Friday. Truck Stop Fungus, right,
since says I'm starting to think that Joe Biden could
run the Cowboys better than Jerry Jones, the Great truck
(22:52):
Stop Fungus.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All right, Glory Hill.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, there you go, the Great Jerry Jones. It is
the Ben Malor Show. Let's see here, let's go to
the phones. We'll start out, well, here's a guy that
hasn't called the show in a long time, Ed in Arlington.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
A baseball savant. Ed and Arlington. I didn't know what happened?
Where's Ed? Ben? I had no idea? Hello Ed and Arlington,
Welcome Ben you mean to.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
Talk to you, to hear your voice live the phone
for change.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Welcome back. Where have you been at? It's been many,
many months since we spoke.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
I've been working my rear end off and trying to
shake my destraught feelings over the play of the Rangers
for the first half of the season. They've been a disgrace.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, they're playing better now. They're playing with better now.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Though, absolutely, Yeah, that's why I call it. They look
like they're starting to turn things around.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Oh that's not fair, though. You only call when they're
playing better. So if they continue to play like crap,
you wouldn't have called up. Come on, man's with that?
Speaker 11 (23:51):
Yeah, well I just didn't. Made for very entertained radio.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
No, no, no, that's a bad take. The greatest radio
is angry radio. Your team stink, that's great radio. That's
not when your team's going well. Who cares about that?
But the Rangers now have they've tied the Mariners, as
you know.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Because you're ed in Arlington.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
But the Rangers and Mariners are tied for the final
wildcard spot in the American League.
Speaker 11 (24:16):
Now, yeah, as bad as the Rangers have been playing,
you got to think they've got nowhere to go but
up from here because they've had solid starting pitching. Their
they're starting pitching has been second to none off season
on that's a pathetic, wet noodle core on the hitters
at the plate, and it looks like they're starting to
(24:39):
get a feel for it. And they've got Jack Peterson.
Thanks for sending him to us.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, he went to like he went to like seven
other teams before he got to you, So I don't
know he's.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Played for how many teams?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Jack Peterson all over the place, they got changes teams
every year, Cobbs, Braves, Giants, Diamondbacks, he's all over the place.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Didn't he suck all so by the way, at the
beginning of the year, wasn't he terrible? And he got
hurt years that suck?
Speaker 11 (25:04):
Yeah, he was choy pathetic. Yeah, it's time for him
to go find another sport. But we'll get our figures crossed.
He may be a little sparks that the ranger Hitterson used,
but they got some of their rookies why at Langford
Evan Carter that seemed to be playing up to their potential.
(25:27):
And then of course Cory Seger is Cory Sieger. He's
he's fantastic as Theoways and he can stay healthy, then
they got a shot.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Well that's always the problem with see her.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
He gets hurt all the time though, so that's as.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It should be an NBA player. He misses so much
times it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Well listen, Ed, I'm happy that they took the Rangers
to get on a little bit of a burner for
you to call back up. And then now that the
trade deadline is just a few days away. It's coming
up this week. The trade deadline's on Thursday, so there'll
be some crazy transactions to yap about, which will be
fun so that they.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
Can some reinforcements. But we'll see they may have to
show with her they've got.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But that's that's.
Speaker 11 (26:07):
Still the reason for for hope optimism there.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, there there have been a fair amount of trades
over the weekend, but nobody that really moves the needle, like,
nobody that really gets you all excited. Yeah, all right, well,
thank you, Ed. All right, I'm going I'm hanging up
on you, the great Edit Arlington. Thank you baseball guy,
old school baseball guy.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Edit Arlington.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
We go way back Hot Ranger talk with Edit Arlington
and is that are we not on the pulse of
what the average overnight sports radio listener wants to hear it.
Come on, absolutely, more Texas Ranger baseball. That's what we need.
And if we talk more Texas Ranger baseball, like guy Charlie,
a kid, call her Charlie from Dallas.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
We'll call back up.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, we miss him.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Let's see. I know what happened.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
He's having a great summer vacation.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You think he took the summer off, because that's why
stop calling.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
He's got to be right clearly.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, okay, homeschool or.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
He got grounded from his radio because he was staying
up all night.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
But he did homeschool. You can do that whenever you
don't have to. It's a home school. It's easy.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
King Rory says was been in the Happy Gilmore. No,
I was one of the few people that didn't make
a cameo and Happy Gilmore too. I'm upset. I mean
I saw it. He blew me off. I saw Steven
A in there. I saw Dan Patrick a couple of
times in there were some podcast people. Have no idea
who they were. Apparently they're famous.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't know. They just threw them in there like anybody.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Like if you met Adam Sandler years ago at Statement
it was called Staple Center.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
He was going to a Clipper game against the.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Knicks, and he walked in through the regular entrance, not
the Hollywood celebrity ff you know, screw you entrance, to
the Hollywood lead entrance. He walked in Sandler through the
regular entrance. How do I know this because I was
walking to my seat and he bumped into me because
he had his head down, thinking that no one would
recognize him if he just walked in through the main
(27:59):
entrance and at it head down, and I would not
have recognized him if he had not walked headfirst into me.
And then I immediately realized, wait, I think that's Adam Sambler.
And then they showed him on on the jumbo tron
later and was indeed Adam sam Let's go to Jay Scoop,
who's hanging out in northern California. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Jay Scoop?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Welcome a congratulations by the way, the winner of the
Mallard Palooza twenty twenty five, Jay Scoop and just Josh.
Speaker 11 (28:32):
Yeah, baby.
Speaker 12 (28:35):
Brought it home again. But thanks for putting that on,
you know, just doing my due diligence. I wanted to
do the Hull Cogan entry music, but I missed out
when I tried to call him that day, so all
the other WHOLEK maniacs were calling in. But that was
(28:56):
a great show, by the way. I loved hearing all
stories that everybody. It just seemed like so many people
had good, good stories of growing up and you know,
Hull Hogan touching their lives. And anybody who didn't catch
that show, I highly recommend you check out the podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, a classic for hul Cogan. Man, if you're of
a certain age, Haul Hogan was one of your child
but whether whether he was a hero or not, just
somebody that influenced you growing up.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I just I don't if you're around my age or
your age, Jay Scoop, I just think that's just the
way it is.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
Man.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You get to a certain age as a kid, you
watch professional wrestling.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Even today. I still think I still think today it's
the same. That hasn't changed. It's there's other distractions, but
you're still watching.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
Like I'll never forget when he lifted Andre the Giant.
I mean, I was like as a kid, I was
just like what the And you know, as an adult
now I'd be thinking like, how is the spine not
like this snap?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
You know? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, well all all that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Like I love the promos, just the over the top
nonsense where it's come out screaming and yelling at me
and g and Oakerland for some crappy wrestling card getting
kids to show up.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
And like, oh, the whole the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I have fond memories of that, but probably because you
know it was our youth, right, I mean, you look
back fondly, right, Jay Scoop, you don't look back at it.
I might have been like, oh I want to watch
this crap, and my in my head, I loved all
of it.
Speaker 12 (30:30):
I loved everything exactly exactly. And how many of us
went off the top rope at home simply because of
Whulk Hogan making it so popular popular?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I did the whole thing. I
did the whole like I can't hear you. You know
my brothers were talking trash with my hand. I do that,
you know, the whole thing, So absolutely, Jay Scoop, All right, buddy.
Speaker 12 (30:52):
Well thanks, before I before I cut out was Bill
Miller pissed off that he didn't get to do any
voting in.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Student for the Yeah, but Bill Is filed the complaint
with HR so it was a formal complaint there that
Bill was not allowed to vote, which is not not right.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
But Nkatara did a good job. I thought, I think
it was solid.
Speaker 12 (31:11):
As a judge and hell yeah yeah, and we got
we gotta.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
We got to broaden horizon. I think we got promoted more.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Next year, we've got to start earlier, have a firm date,
and we'll get some less comedy. As I ranted on
the Fifth Hour podcast over the weekend, just a little
less comedy.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I don't people aren't funny. You're not.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
And even if you are funny, it's almost impossible to
be funny. Well no, it's it's almost impossible. If you
just you could bring any famous comedian whoever you think
the funniest person is, and you put them with no
nobody laughing. It's it's impossible.
Speaker 12 (31:45):
Yeah, so yeah, yeah, that's that's pretty crazy. That's like
some of those shows on TV, like during COVID when
there was no audiences and they're trying to perform, Well.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
We would the Three of us would be laughing if
it was funny.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, it was just now all right, thank you, Jay Scoop,
All right, go away. There's a Jay Scoop checking in
big winner at the mallow Paloozer. I should have kept
him on for this, but I guess I hung up
too soon. So I would like to rip the Hall
of Fame now, not the Baseball Hall of Fame. I
would like to take a shot at the mascot Hall
of Fame. I was watching the Sunday night game and
(32:21):
they had a big to do that The newest inductee
in the Mascot Hall of Fame, lou Seal not right,
not two thumbs down on lo now. Louciale is the
San Francisco Giants mascot who and was inducted. They had
a Gallas ceremony at the Giants ballpark last night on
(32:43):
Sunday Night baseball. They had the Mets mascot, Mister Met.
They had the Philly fanatic. I saw the Shark's mascot.
Was there some of those other mascots.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I don't even know who they were.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
They were kind of hanging out there. But lou Seal
not not on the same line. Not it should not
be even mentioned in the same breath with mister met
and the Philly Fanatic, And it's a great injustice to
all the real mascots that matter that moved the needle,
like the aforementioned mister Mett, Philly Fanatic, Chuck the Condor
(33:15):
with the clippers, those are the real mascots that moved
the needle. The Rocky, the mascot of the Denver Nuggets
that died famously at the top of the arena, passed
out and they took his body down from the rafters,
one of the great video clips of all time. Those
are the mascots that should be the gorilla in Phoenix.
That's a Hall of Fame mascot. Lose Seal, my fat ass.
(33:37):
I do not want to live in a world where
lou Seal is a Hall of Fame mascot. That is
bull crap. I want to know the names of everyone
who voted on that. Lou Seal not a Hall of
Fame mascot. Bad job by the mascot Hall of Fame,
which I think is in Indiana.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
Wait wait, Ben, yes, is it really a seal?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
It's moving.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I didn't hear talk of you, but that's the seal. Right,
that's a that's the great Luigi Francisco seal.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
That no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
I just know it's not a Hall of Fame mascot.
It's simply not a Hall of Fame mascot. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
And they have little pregame ceremony the parents out there,
and it was like tug at the mascot heartstrings and
all that, and I think it was it was crap.
All right, time now for the Well, let's get to
the play of the day. Why not. We have to
get to the player today. We'll go.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It was selected by Coop. I would not have picked this,
but here it is Mike Trout the player today. Deglaus
the center field Roderiga's Rockchi down. That's it right bat there.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Wow, half way up to batters eye in center field.
Mike Trout joins the foundsand RBI club they style two
run bombed center all right.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
That was from Roku TV, as Major League Baseball gets
you to pay for seventeen different streaming services. It was
the tire play of the Day. For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation tyre raq dot com. The
(35:16):
way tire buying should be. Angels ended up beating the
Mariners in that game.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Mike trout the two run homer. As you heard. That
is the tire i Raq play of the day. Time
Now for the who am I? Game? And this is
where we go to the sports trivia basket.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Here it is Pirates pitcher Paul Skeens has completed twenty
two straight first innings without allowing a run this season.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Twenty two consecutive.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
That is tied for the longest streak to begin any
Major League Baseball campaign the past fifty years. Alongside me
and someone named Rhys Olsen. Again, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul
Skeens has completed twenty two straight first innings without allowing
a run this season, and it's tied for the longest
(36:03):
streak to begin any Major League Baseball season in the
last fifty years, along with me and someone named Rhys Olsen.

(37:39):
the longest streak to begin any Major League Baseball campaign

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Along with me and Rhys Olsen. Who am I? That
is the question? What is the answer? Let's see does
anyone know the answer? Random?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Ryan in Carolina says the Marlborough Man and Sam Donald's
dick hammer is the answer. Bobby in Florida going with
Punky Brewster. Who else we have? Stuck in Sacramento says Dwight.

the way to go?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Funhouse? Is up with us? He says. Chris Zorwich is
the answer? Notre Dame legend.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Remember that there was an era in football where all
the linebackers had the shirt the jersey tucked up and
they wanted to show off the chest.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I don't see that as much anymore. What do we have?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
I forty Ian's going with Dodger Brooklyn Dodger legend, Van
Lingle Mungo as his answer, Pat Tabler Royal's legend and
Indians legend from mister nice guy. That's his answer. Mala
prop guy said, Justin Cooper is the answer when Coops
gained some weight in that photo. Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Page down? King Royce is just King Royce, says future
mascot Hall of Famer Bernie Brewer is the answer. Bernie Brewer,
who still gives nightmares to our mortal enemy.

The Real Giants Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Mascot the Crazy Crab, Yeah, the crab. Jay Scoop wrote
that yes, the Crab belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Lou Seal, no way, And like I said, it's embarrassment.
It is an absolute embarrassment to the mascot Hall of
Fame that Luciale got in there. Lou Seal does not belong.
(39:33):
Tell me something great Lucial's done. Seriously, tell me something,
tell me a great big I can tell you. Mister
Matt flipping off the camera getting on the New York Post.
That's hilarious. The Philly fanatic back in the day with Tommy,
those are great bits.
Speaker 1 (39:47):

I game? Question?
