Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one of the
original Recipe podcast. Happy Wednesday to you. We will get
through this hump day. On the twenty third day of
July and today on the podcast, we begin with the
drama in Dallas. Do you feel bad for Micah Parsons
being discouraged with the Cowboys contract talks? Also, Pete Carroll

(00:24):
says the Raiders are going to win a bunch. What
are your impressions on this one? What does that even mean?
And Bucks wide receiver Chris Godwin reportedly had to have
a second ankle surgery during the offseason as he was
rehabbing from the first operation. Can you unscramble what that
one means? We'll turn to medical man Mallor right now

(00:47):
in our number one, The Yenn to the Yang. Welcome.
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air ywhere bellied a belly as
we provide all night vibes coast, the coast, border, the

(01:08):
border and beyond. On the vast and satisfyingly powerful microphones
of fs are ammnating live good live from the Court
the Kangaroo Court of the Overnight from the Fox Sports

(01:30):
one Month Wonder in Dallas, The Royal Flusher and this
portion of The Ben Malley Show and Fox made possible
in part by our friends at tire Rack. For over
forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers like Ferg

protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, Tier
raq O Wait Tire Buying Show B. So our lead
this hour is the end to the ag Now. In
a previous episode of this show, we were ranting about

(02:14):
the stylings of Jerry Jones, good Old Jared Jerry's World.
So that is where we're going to pick up here
the end of the Yang. I mentioned that, and so
we had Jerry Jones give the State of the Cowboy
address at the beginning of training camp in the Nard
Aux nerd Well Now Cowboy all pro edge rusher extraordinaire,

(02:36):
or at least ask him. He'll tell you that. Michael
Parsons pushing back, Push it back now, Push you back
pushing back against Jerry Joe's Now Michael publicly acknowledged that
he is the D word discourage, Oh my god, uh
discourage that a long term deal has not been reached

(02:57):
with the organization. So I don't know if you saw this.
I heard about. We have some audio we're gonna play
for you. We've got the receipts. So rather than me
give you the transket ripped of what MICHAEH. Parsons said,
here's MIKEAH Parsons in his own words at Cowboy Camp
discussing why he's not all that please honestly.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, when you go around the league and you see
these other teams taking care of their best guys, I
see TJ got taken care of you know, Max got
taken care of, Miles got taken care of him. He
got two years left on his jill, So it's hard
to Yeah, you see a lot of people around league
and taking care of you during So I wish you
had something like that, you know, that same type of energy,

(03:36):
you know.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
All right, so let us discuss you mentioned Miles Garrett, TJ. Watt,
Max Crosby in his rant. So as we discussed do
you feel bad do you feel bad for Michah Parsons
being discouraged by his cowboy contract talks? So on this one,
I've got Kardashian's alphabet soup and Russian roulette, and we

(04:02):
will combine all of these things together and we're gonna
make one of those elbow long state fair style corn
dogs that you can get in the summer. You know,
everything's deep fried at those state fairs, and man are
they good. So hey, my favorite part is, and I
don't know if you could pick up on it, A
lot of people have other things going on. We're pretty
much background noise. You're working, you're driving, you're trying to

(04:24):
sleep whatever. If we can play that again, though, if
you listen in the background, you can hear one of
Micah parsons teammates there who was like his hype man,
who was throwing out names. If you can listen, turn
up the audio because I heard this. You can hear
the teammate who was shouting out like the next line
for Micah Parsons, kind of like a good hype man.

(04:45):
Take a listen again, listen.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
To this well, honestly, yeah, when you go around the
league and you see these other teams taking care of
their best guys. I see TJ got taken care of,
you know, Max got taken care of, Miles got taken
care of, and he got two years left or so.
It's hard to hear you see I pay you around
league taking care of you during you.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Know. All right, all right, you can hear it in
the background if you've turned the audio all the way up.
And yeah, your ear drums are blown when I started talking.
So this whole thing makes me want to puke in
my mouth, is what it makes me. Michael Parsons is discouraged.
Give me a break, all right, give me a break
on this one. He's gonna get paid eventually. This is

(05:30):
all part of the process. It's all part of the show. Uh.
And he's that the freaky freak of defense, right, all
pro all this face of the defense of America's team
and all these fine things here, and he's out there
playing sad boy with the media, right because Jerry Jones
has not handed him a cartoon sized blank check and

(05:52):
say just sign on the dot line. It's like a
pity party a training camp. We're gonna start training camp,
but we're gonna have a pity party. Just whine to
the media. I'll get my teammate over alongside here. We're
gonna whine and complain. And then of course you got
a sub tweet. He's already done that. He's already done that,
post some kind of cryptic social media message. And you

(06:15):
do that. It's right out of the middle school playbook.
Right out of the middle school playbook. So you do that,
and I want the same energy as TJ. Watt, God
and Max Crosby money and all that stuff. Boo freaking
who right are you kidding me here? Seriously? I was like,
this just sounds terrible. It's classic cowboys dysfunction, is what

(06:40):
it is, Classic cowboys dysfunction. They are the Kardashians of
the NFL, and they've been the Kardashians before the Kardashians,
and they'll be the Kardashians when the Kardashians are gone.
It's the soap opera in cleats, not spandex in cleats.
And they've got the glitz, the glamour of the big headlines.
And God bless them because they provide content, a lot

(07:01):
of great content right here, and man, is that good?
That is really really important here. But the drama it
goes on and on and on and on. You've got
the star of the drama, the soap opera, the senile
old oil tycoon, old oil family money. And Jerry Jones,
good old Jerry out there. He's doing his news conferences,

(07:24):
and he's got his sunglasses on, he's got his water
burger cup, he's got his nineteen ninety eight flip phone,
and he's got these ridiculous, as I said, glasses on
and the whole thing. And then you got Micah Parson's
who if you great him objectively as an NFL player,
he's got to get paid. He's also fools. Go Does
anyone think he's not fools?

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Go?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Anyone raising their hand? I don't see any hands raise.
Mike has got all these gaudy stats, and people get
all horny because they see the stats. And yet, despite
being a fantasy football superstar, when the games are the biggest,
when the pressure is cranked up, where's mikeh Not where's Waldough,

(08:09):
It's where's Mike? Like where I don't know. He is
the defensive equivalent of what Dak Prescott is on offense.
He just is. And you know that's the proper way
to approach this because that's the reality. You can kid
yourself and put on your cowboy fanboy year and all

(08:31):
that stuff, but that's the way that ian. There's a
lot of empty calories there, a lot of empty calories
when you look at the performance of one Micah Parson
there and do not be fooled by the junk stats.
Do not be fooled by the junk stats when the
games don't matter. The moping over the payday, which is

(08:55):
standard fair, and we'll have many more malle monologues about this.
It's a popular topic this time of the sporting calendar there.
But every player now thinks that they need to be
the highest paid guy at their position the moment the second,
the second they see someone else's sign. It's the Ponzi

(09:20):
scheme situation involving ego is what it is here, and
it's rather exhausting, maybe not for you, but I got
no life. They pay me to pay attention to this crap,
and so every day it's none of these stories here.
It's the nbification, if you will, NBA official vacation of
the NFL. So something used to happen only in the NBA,

(09:40):
and now it's it's spilled over to the NFL now
page two to Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas, we go.
That is where Pete Carroll, good old Pete, giving us
the money quote. He set the tone for the start
of Raiders training camp in Sin City saying, quote, We're
going to win a bunch and I don't care who

(10:03):
hears that close quote. So that is what we call kids,
the money quote. So let's parse the words. What do
he said? It's fun game, let's parse the words. So
Pete Carroll saying the Raiders are going to quote win
a bunch, those are his words, and he doesn't care
who hears that. What are your impressions on this one?

(10:24):
So let me start by saying, I love Pollyanna Pete.
I'm a big fan of Pollyanna Pete. Pete Carroll parachutes
into town because the Raiders couldn't hire the coach they
wanted and Tom Brady got pinched by the NFL, and
so he had to hire somebody, had to hire somebody,
so he hired this guy. And you know, Pete Carroll

(10:45):
comes in there, parachutes in like he's Zeus at a
pep rally. And that's the beauty of Pete Carroll. He's
spraying fairy dust around the Raider facility, making bold proclamations,
bold decrees from good old Pete Carroll. It really is
wonderful when you put it under the Mallard microscope. We
like to put these things under the Malord microscope. When

(11:06):
you put it under the Mallard microscope. A bunch, peekerro said,
the Raiders are gonna win a bunch of games. So
a bunch is it's gotta be the most non committal,
watered down, buzzword based catchphrase you could possibly cook up

(11:29):
and coach speak, it's gotta be it's NFL alphabet soup.
We essentially are saying, hey, Peekero's like, well, we hope
to compete and not completely suck, and so we're gonna
win a bunch. Because I try to find out what
does a bunch mean? Does a bunch mean five? Does
a bunch mean ten? Does a bunch mean twelve? Fifteen?

(11:49):
What's a bunch? The Brady bunch that's an old sheol.
But that was more. That was more than just a few.
That was there was a lot of six kids. As
a lot is that a bunch? Is it six? So
the Raiders's gonna win six because a bunch that's I
don't know, that's the only thing I could come up with.
I tried to find it by google it and I
had said, what is a bunch? What is the number

(12:09):
of bunch? And it's like, well, there's nothing, really, it's
not a defined definition of what a bunch is. So
I'm gonna go with six. So really, Pete Carroll's saying,
the Raiders are gonna win six games. More of the same,
more of the same from the Raiders. And I hate
to be the spoiler. The Legion of Boom is not
walking through that door in Vegas. And if they do

(12:31):
walk through that door, they're old men now, so forget
about that. And in Vegas, the Raiders do have an
old Seahawk trash player, Geno Smith, and the Seahawks when
they traded Gino Smith, they went on about cake and
they got balloons to celebrate. They got rid of that
dead weight. So now you've got a quarterback who's the
equivalent of DCAF coffee, Like, what's the point of drinking

(12:53):
DCAF coffee? I don't get I don't drink coffee, but
what's the point of drinking DCAF coffee? Anyway, Gino Smith
is the guy that you call when your QB one
has decided to go on a vacation or has been
abducted by some kind of lizard people species taken to
the sub earth at the end of the flat earth,

(13:15):
underneath the hollow Earth. That's where you get Gino Smith
and he comes in there. Now, Gino is not bad.
People think I believe Geno Smith is bad. I don't
believe Geno Smith is bad. Now, we've had our beef
going back those days at West Virginia. You don't let
Gino cook, you know, let him cook. No one ever

(13:35):
says let Geno Smith cook. You let Geno Smith simmer
because his temperature is lukewarm. That is what he is. Now.
The Raiders have had such crappy quarterback play that's actually
an upgrade. That's actually an upgrade. That's how bad the
Raiders offense has been. But it's essentially built around a

(13:55):
bubble screen and a wish. That's the Raider offense. So
unless a bunch, unless a bunch means more than six
like the Brady bunch, and you're just getting a participation
trophy at this particular point. You know, the Bravado. I know,
you're supposed to be the hype man. Everyone's got to

(14:16):
hype up their team this time of the year, and
I am cognizant of that. I realized that's part of
the game. You're in the hype business, as show business.
You got to get people excited, excite the fan base,
excite the elector. It's like political rallies here, these training
camp situations. But in reality, when you look at the
Raiders here, this franchise has not had any kind of
real identity since Al Davis was dominating trades using a

(14:40):
rotary phone. That's the last time the Raiders. I mean,
when I was a kid, the Raiders used to always
brag about how they had the top winning percentage in
all the sports. There used to be these things called
pocket schedules. I remember when the Raiders were in LA
and I was a young lad, and we used to
get those pocket schedules, and I was a little kid,
and I was like, oh man, these are cool. And
Raiders always in the back of the pocket schedule they had,

(15:02):
you know, commitment to excellence Al's quote there, and they
had the top winning percentages over however many years, and
the Raiders are always like number one, and if you
go back to last twenty five years generation, the Raiders
are in the bottom five in all of North American sport.
It's just wild how much they blow. They are so bad.

(15:24):
But hey, we love Pete Carroll, Me and Pete Carroll.
Of course lifetime friends that when he was coaching at
USC he used the malorphone to do a phoner the
Fox Sports radio, the malarphone. Pete Carroll used the malorphone.
So there was that. And unfortunately, though you cannot bluff
your way. You might win a couple extra games because
you got good coach, but you're not gonna win enough

(15:45):
to really move the needle in a division with Kansas City.
And then you've got the Chargers and the Broncos are
kind of flip flip flop. There. Now the last word
to Tampa. We go to Tampa, we go where the
Bucks star wide receiver man that was up for grabs
in the off season, Chris Godwin, Well, he's not up

(16:07):
for grabs anymore. He stayed in Tampa. Chris Godwin reportedly
had to have a not first a second, a second
ankle surger. You see this, He had a second ankle
surgery during the off season that wasn't talked about until
like this week. Say what, he was already rehabbing from
the first operation and then they said, surprise, we're going

(16:31):
back in. So can you unscramble what this means? So
I will be medicine man mallor on this one. I
will unscramble, unscramble what it means using my medical knowledge.
I'll put on my medical hat here doing overnight talk radio.
So my first thought was the natural question that I
think you probably had, and I'm just like, we all

(16:52):
have this just out of curiosity. What exactly did the
first operation fix?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
It?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Is one of these things where I goof on these
stories the surgery was successful. They almost always say the
surgery was successful. An athlete has an operation and it's
only successful because they didn't die in the operating room.
But it does happen. Often these operations do not fix
the problem. They don't. And it's kind of like I
don't know, rotating your tires. When you go in and

(17:22):
have your ankle operating, it's like, well, that didn't work,
Let's try this again. Maybe this will fix the tires, right,
I mean, it's what are you doing it's an ankle.
It's not as tires, it's his ankle. And I think
maybe I'm wrong on this. I just do the overnight shore,
but I think it's attached to the ground when he
makes cuts as a wide receiver to try to zip

(17:42):
past wide receivers. And I don't think it belongs in
a petri dish at a lab somewhere for medical experiments.
But that appears to be what's happening. So in the
age of the robotic arm, the three D printed ligaments
and all the other gadgets and thing of the jigs
they have in medicine and all this cutting edge rehab

(18:06):
that they love to brag about and all this stuff,
this appears to be just my understanding of it. Maybe
I'm wrong. It appears to be medical Russian roulette. We
spun the chamber in the operating room and we took
a shot click any click, nothing, So we're gonna try
to get it'll probably work. Kind of reminds me, and

(18:28):
you probably do the same thing. Like when my WiFi
goes out at the Malord mansion. What I do is
a savvy tech move. I go and unplug the Wi
Fi the router and then I wait ten to twenty seconds,
and I plug it back in, and then I expect
it to be fixed. And sometimes it's not fixed, and
you know what I do. Then I do it again.

(18:49):
You do the same thing, but you do it again,
and then you wait and you plug it back in
and it doesn't work, and you do it again, and
why not? You know what the hell? All go for it.
So the Bucks even some playoff team, not a great team,
a middling team, kind of in the middle of the
NFC Tampa Bay and it's like, well, we'll just turn

(19:12):
Chris Godwin on and off again. We'll put him back
in the operating room and all this stuff. But he
going into the year, the expectation was he's going to
be a reliable, dependable, lunch pale guy. He's been that player.
You don't really talk a lot about him. He just
goes out and gets you eighty catches or so a
year and a bunch of touchdowns and big blaze and
that's it. And you don't really make a fuss about
Chris Godwin. And so now he's rehabbing his second ankle operation.

(19:36):
So if you're Baker Mayfield, good luck Baker, good luck
Baker Mayfield as the Bucks already just at the start
of training camp, tiptoeing their way into the season and
literally hanging on by an ankle. It is the Ben

show on X at Ben Mahlor that is at Ben
malor if you want to have your voice heard yet

(23:25):
hide behind your smartphone or whatever device you're using. You
can also say alo to Loraina FSR Tech Queen. She's
sitting the buttons and Cooper loops over there at uh
Bronco fan that's a Bronco.

Speaker 6 (23:41):
Fang is justin Cooper.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
And remember your comments, Cannon, We'll be used against you
in the court of sports radio. And now back to
the nonsense, back to where we go. Ferg Dog writes
and says, I give your Express pros live read a
perfect ten out of ten that was more entertaining and
then every Mallard Palooza act combined. I am declaring you

(24:05):
the winner of this year's Mallard Paloosa. I thank you
on behalf of all the copy that I have to
read throughout the year. I would like to thank the
people that write the copy, who often put words in
that don't belong there and try to squeeze about two
minutes of copy into sixty seconds. I thank them for that,

(24:26):
for their kindness. There late night drug tester says Chris
Godwin will need multiple surgeries on his ankle or needing
multiple surgeries on his ankle as normal, each deductible will
lighten the wallet, thus less pressure on his feet. So so,
he says, I remember there was a catcher for the

(24:46):
Mets that hit a lot of home runs in his era,
a guy named Todd Huntley, and they operated on his
I think it was his elbow, and they said that
it was a success, and then he had to go
to the outfield because he couldn't throw anymore. He sucked
in the outfield. They kept having operations. Scrooge rides in

(25:09):
from northern California. He says, as a Raider fan, there's
no point in watching the team this year. Gino Smith
is a garbage quarterback. Pete Carroll is an outdated coach
with outdated schemes. This team will win seven games at
best this season, and as long as Gino is the quarterback,
the franchise is dead. In the water. Buy your Raider

(25:33):
tickets right now. Scrooge is going to be hired by
the Raiders' marketing department there to sell the upcoming season. Now,
so the Raiders goal here, I know what the goal is.
The goal is to go from garbage and then go
to average. The goal is to be mediocre, and they
will be mediocre. With Gino Smith, the Raiders will win

(25:54):
somewhere in the seven, eight or nine games. Now. I
got a couple of Raider Nation people who are my circle.
I do a podcast on the weekends with Danny g
who's a big, big Raider homer and all that. But
even Danny does not reach the next level. One of
my other friends already who used to work here back
in the day and he works at another radio outfit,

(26:18):
but already sends me comments when he's drinking Medellos and
he said, I predict the Raiders will go thirteen and
four this year, easy schedule. And then I wrote back,
I said, put the put the beer down, and he said, no,
I'm not not doing that. And then he's sending me

(26:39):
like quotes from Geno Smith trying to fire up the
Raider Nation and all that stuff. Femi the number one
uber each driver in Minnesota, right, since says great monologue. Men,
you think the Bucks are a middling team. Everyone else
seems to be tipping them or predicting that they will
go to the NFC Championship. Really, yes, I've been not

(27:01):
kept up on my previews. I used to read those
preview magazines every year, but I don't really do that anymore.
I know, I form my own opinion nature born. I
want to, yes, who's wearing a look? I can't see
because there's glass here and it can barely make out
you wear. You're wearing a Is that a cowboy? Wearing
a cowboy?

Speaker 7 (27:22):
Perfect day for it with your monologue.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
But I'm not wearing a cowboy hat.

Speaker 7 (27:24):
You make musing we're both wearing hat.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
The hat, the hat of the day is my hat.
You know what hat I'm wearing? You what logo that is?

Speaker 7 (27:31):
It looks like a falcon.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
No, it's not a falcon.

Speaker 7 (27:34):
Okay, let me guess one more.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (27:36):
The cockatoo.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
You think I'm wearing a hat? This is the cockatoo?
So you think the University of Iowa is the cockatoo
that the Iowa football team takes the field, and they say,
let's go Cockatoos.

Speaker 7 (27:47):
If there isn't a Cockatoo team, there needs to be.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
There's no team that I know of in the major
industrial complex Colorado Cockatoo that would work. That's great and
