Speaker 1 (00:00):
Howdy, it's our barn Tay. Our number two is ready
for you as the caretaker of the Ben Maler Show podcast.

of August, and we have a Mallard meet and greet
coming up in August a week from Saturday, August twenty third.
(00:21):
August twenty third Malard Meet and Greet. If you are
only a podcast listener and you somehow fast forward through
the pod, maybe you don't know about this, but we'd
love to meet you if you're able to make it

(00:43):
k E and then Out Bar and Grill right there
on Maryland Parkway in Vegas. Will be there from three
till five. Would love to have you hang out with us.
But here in hour number two, how did Jerry Jones
comment about The Cowboys being a soap opera three hundred
and sixty five days a year sound to you. Also,
let's play the fill in the blank game the Cowboys
hitting the pause button in the Micaeh Parsons negotiation is
(01:07):
blank and why did the picture of Nico Harrison and
Aaron Rogers create such a visceral reaction from Steelers camp.
Talk about that as well. All of it's coming your
way right now here. It is our number two three,
one hundred and sixty five. That is the number. Remember
that number. Welcome in the beginning another another hour of
(01:32):
the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere,
talk mates, as we are not a filtered voice, not
a focus group voice. We're real, baby, we are real.
Coast to coast, port to border and beyond. On the
mast and scorchingly powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from
(01:55):
the Express as we ride the Express Train uptown in
your ear drum from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by YAFIMI in Chicago, promoting the Ben Maler Show
YouTube page, where you can watch these Mallard monologues when
the sun's up or whenever you want. Classic moments on
(02:18):
this show and this portion of the Ben Maler Show

Show'd be so our lead. This hour is from Jerry's world.
The Gift that keeps on giving baby every day he
cooks off a Smorgasborg. He does if you haven't the
(03:01):
latest on this man, wonderful, good stuff, good stuff yet again,
So the Cowboy owner Jerry Jones has yet again poked
the fan. He's annoyed the fan. A percentage of the
fan base appears to be annoyed. Here now, what did
Jerry do?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
He admitted the team is a quote soap opera three
hundred and sixty five days a year by design. Jerry,
commenting during a recent red carpet interview. Might remember we
mentioned in a previous episode of the show there is
a Netflix documentary on the Cowboys which is dropping in
(03:39):
a few days. The Cowboys. There is a quote from
Jerry Jones, the Cowboys are a soap opera three hundred
and sixty five days a year, and he said, when
it gets slow, I stir it up. Quote continues, and
so it's wonderful. Joanes said, to have the great athletes,
have the great players. But there's something more there. There's emotion,
(04:02):
and if you will, there's controversy. That controversy is good
stuff in terms of keeping and having people's attention. All right,
so let us discuss the question how did Jerry Jones
comment I just gave you the comment how did Jerry
Jones commentary here about the Cowboys being a soap opera
(04:23):
three hundred and sixty five days a year sound to you?
So I've got triple Baconator, the Wolf of Wall Street,
and secret Handshake, and we will combine all of these
things together, put them. We get boom just like boom,
just like that, and we'll see what happens. So a,
the first thought I had was self absorbed, which is
(04:46):
rather obvious. You don't need me to tell you that
Jerry has made himself the story. Say what you want. However,
Jerry Jones is a maestro of business. He's also transparent
on this one. Wouldn't be great if more of our
politicians were transparent like the Cowboys are a soap up
and of course there. I talk about it more than anybody.
(05:07):
They suck the Cowboys three hundred and sixty five days
a year. And as he said, when it gets slow,
he stirs it up. He said that before. This is
not new, and you know again it's not me paraphrasing.
That was the quote. When it gets slow, he I
stir it up. And three hundred and sixty five days
a year. He just flat out admits it. Like if
you don't like it, you can't handle the truth. That
(05:29):
famous line from Jack Nichols, you can't handle the truth.
Few good men. So Jerry is proud of turning his
team into the young and the restless. And it's all
by design, you know. Jerry Jones cracked the code. He
got the it's like figuring out DNA. He figured out
the code. And he slow walks contract extensions. Whether it
(05:52):
was Dak and Ceedee Lamb in years past or what's
going on right now, it doesn't matter. He drags him out.
Bunch of media dopes complain, Oh, Jerry's costing the Cowboys
millions of dollars. What's he doing? Well? Why do they
do it? Because it creates tension? What does tension lead to?
(06:13):
It leads to engagement, It creates talking points. It's a
self fulfilling prophecies. The vortex, the Cowboys vortex. It creates content.
Content is what it's all about. Content is king. The
Cowboys are never quiet. It's like if Vince McMahon owned
an NFL team back in his heyday and professional wrestling
basic man of the NFL, only Jerry does not have
(06:35):
the muscles, and he doesn't take chairs to the head
and there's no die there. Jerry's had some work done,
but that's fine. And a little Pt Barnum in there too,
you know. Step right up, Step ride up, Come one
and all fun for all ages. The amazing Cowboys under
the Big Top. You can watch them collapse in the
playoffs if we make it. Tickets on sale now. Every
(07:00):
news conference with Jerry Jones reminds me of being a
kid watching the Macho Man Randy Savage and Hal Cogan
and I'm waiting for me and gene Oakerland to pop
in there. It's like a wrestling promo. Come see the
Dallas Cowboys appearing at your local arena on this Saturday morning.
Every delay on a contract is a storyline. It is
(07:21):
and when there's no story, Jerry, just make one up.
It's make it up. I don't figure it out. And
you know what, it's free marketing. It is whatever it costs. Right,
there's actual money because they they don't sign the players
right away. You save money if you send them. Right.
But he figures listen, I'm gonna make that back on
(07:43):
media coverage and spoiler alert, he is franchise value. Cowboys
are number one. They're right. Yeah. You know how many
NFL teams get wall to wall television and radio coverage
year round? One one team that's the Dallas Cowboys. The
Eagles won the Super Bowl, and is anyone yapping about
(08:05):
the Eagles? They get mentioned now and again. They won,
They had the winning recipe. The Cowboys have the formula
to get attention. Jerry has basically turned the NFL's most
valuable franchise into his own reality show. It's very primal.
The other thing I've noticed about this, talking about it
three or four times a week, is how primal it is.
(08:26):
The cowboy fan, the cowboy fan hardwired to eat this up.
They are. It's like fast food for the brain. It's
like going to Windy's and you get that triple bacon
eater back in the day, and the frosty and high drama.
In this case, there's a lot of salt. It's actually
terrible for you in the long run, but you keep
(08:48):
going back for more. Now unpopular opinion. Other teams should
be copying what the Cowboys are doing. And Jerry's getting
up there. He's not gonna be around that much longer.
And if you want to be relevant and you want
to increase value and all that, you want attention, you
can copy the Ravens. Or Ravens have good teams every year.
The Bills have been really good for the last six
(09:10):
seven years or so. Maybe more like the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Though.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You create the drama, you stir the pot. It's a
little messy, it's a little sticky, little human. In Jerry's world,
the ratings and the franchise value, that is much more
important than the Super Bowl trophy. It just is. Now
page two, staying with this theme, if you will. Staying
with this theme. So, MICHAEH. Parsons was spotted this week
(09:33):
watching Cowboy practice, not taking part watching, and he was
only a couple of feet away from Jerry Jones. The
afore mentioned Jerry Jones, who liked the Cowboys so much
he bought the team and then became the GM, and
he's been the gym longest tenured GM in the NFL.
So Jerry Jones and Michael Parsons are standing just feet
away from each other on the sidelines, but nothing has
(09:55):
changed regarding the long contract negotiation between the two sides. Oh,
Jerry Jones was asked what is preventing the sides from talking?
And Jerry Jones said really. He then paused and said nothing.
Nothing again, he said nothing would be that, Jones said,
(10:17):
and we might or we might not talk, and the
rest of that gets into what we do every day.
All right, little confusing there, but close quote Parsons declining
to comment as he sashaded his way off the practice field.
There for the Cowboys. So let's do a fill in
(10:37):
the blank question. Fill in the blank. I'm gonna go first.
Then you can go if you want and call in
or send a message in Cowboys hitting the pause button,
hitting the pause button on the remote control, just like
that hitting the pause button in Micah Parson's negotiation is blank.
Filling the blank. So my word on this is premeditated.
(11:01):
That is my word, premeditated. Again, my position is that
Jerry Jones is going to take this to the buzzer,
right to the buzzer, like every good Bond movie where
there's the diet sticks of dynamite wrapped in tape. There's
there's weird wires, and you gotta figure out how you
cut the blue wire the red wire, and you gotta
do it right before the clock strikes, you know, zero
(11:21):
zero and all that stuff. And so that's what's gonna
happen here. Choreograph choreographed chaos. As I learned from the
Wolf of Wall Street, it's all for Gayzy or for Gazi.
Uh you know, for Gayzy is though, Uh it's fake,
That's what it is. So it's all it's that's what
it is, all right. Now, last word, we move from
Jerry's world and we go to the land of the
(11:44):
insert u Petsburg Steelers. Well that is where, of all people,
Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison. Yes, that Nik, Yes, that's
the same guy, Nico Harrison. So the Maverick Nico Harrison
was spotted meeting at Steeler training camp with Aaron Rodgers,
(12:07):
among others. Now, how do I know this? How am
I aware of this? Because the picture that they took
sitting at a table has gone viral. Now, maybe you
saw it, maybe you heard about it. Maybe you didn't
hear about it. Maybe you didn't see it. I don't know.
That's your your life. But I saw it, and if
I hadn't seen it, I had people sending to me,
(12:28):
did you see this? Oh my god, you gotta talk
about this. Oh my god. Okay, I don't know that
I have to talk about this, but I am talking
about it. I am talking about So I did a
little investigating and I was like, well, how does Nico
Harrison end up at a table with Aaron Rodgers. It
seems very bizarre to me. So it turns out that
one of the good friends of Nico Harrison, one of
(12:50):
the good friends of Nico Harrison is Steeler's coach Mike Tomlin.
Their besties. Their besties. That's an odd tearing, isn't it.
How did they become buddies? That seems odd? There must
be some story there. I don't know what the story
is anyway, So Tomlin and Nico Harrison are buddies, and
apparently Nico Harrison was at training camp the last couple
(13:13):
of years. Of course, nobody knew who he was. Nobody
cared about Nico Harrison. Now, of course that story has
changed dramatically. So question on this one, question on this one.
Why why do you think the picture of Nico Harrison
and Aaron Rodgers created such a visceral reaction. So I'll
(13:34):
give my psychobabble and then you can chime in and
just my reaction seeing the photo of the Mavericks GM
and then the NFL's resident evangelist of the Ayahuasca, Aaron Rodgers,
it felt like you were ease dropping in on something
(13:54):
that you weren't supposed to see. It looked like there
was some kind of secret handshake that was going on.
You know, they were like shaking hands, like a couple
of Bond villains. To use the Bond reference there, a
couple of Bond villains. It was a snapshot so surreal
that you were like, whoa, I mean, what's going on?
I mean, there they were. Harrison, the man who traded
(14:16):
Luka Doncik. Not really a trade. He just gave Luka
Doncik to the Lakers for a bag of Orville Reddenbacker popcorn,
a stale bag of Orville Reddenbacker popcorn. And I think
he got invited to like a Laker chat, like an
online chat, not in person online. And then you've got
Aaron Rodgers best. He's with Joe Rogan right, the quarterback
(14:38):
treats every conversation like he's doing a Ted talk about
quantum consciousness and all that stuff. And together side by
side at a table with others, with others at Steelers'
training camp, looking like they were plotting some kind of
cross sport coup a coup d'ta. And you had Harrison
there was he trying to recruit ros Hey, Aaron, how
(15:01):
would you like to be the offensive coordinator of the Mavericks? Well, Nico,
whether you guys don't have an offensive for I don't care,
We'll make you one. And as Rogers probably I'm imagining
he's like, oh, listen, Nico, I know there's there's a
way now you can break down teams based on the
holistic abilities. Forget analytics, go with holistic analytics, which is
(15:23):
a different thing, and it's it's we'll bring in Andrea
from Berkeley. We'll bring Andrew in, the astrology insider, and
she'll base what moves we make on the cycle of
the moon. You know, is it. Is it going to
be a wolf moon? What is it going to be? Uh?
You know, we'll look at the Farmer's Almanac, will figure
(15:45):
it out and we'll just do things on gut feelings
and uh. And then Nico's like, well, I don't know
if we should do that. I don't I don't know
about that. Or maybe they were just bonding Rogers and
Nico over the shared love they have for alienation sports
fans and redefining dysfunction dysfunction. But whatever it is that
(16:08):
the photo, it was like this rogue asteroid seeing these
two figures that you know, again, I don't know about you,
but for me, I'm a little too into the weeds
here in this job. And I've talked a lot about
Nico Harrison over the last year, and I've talked for
years about Aaron Rodgers. I mean, we I go so
far back that here at Fox Sports Radio. I did
a show with this guy named Chris Landry on the
(16:29):
weekends in the early days of Fox Sports Radio, and
we used to have Aaron Rodgers on after games he
played at Cal and I always thought, well, he must
not that be be that good because he's coming on
our show and you know, if he's a big star,
he's not gonna come on a radio show half an
hour after Cal played Arizona State or whatever back in
the day. But he did. He came on. It is fine,
(16:51):
it was nice, and that was it. And then he's
gone on and had this amazing, polarizing run in the
NFL with all these different teams. But if Nico Harrison
and Aaron Rogers are the architects of chaos, then that
means that you and I those of us that either
know about the photo if you're blind, or saw the
(17:12):
photo if you're not blind, we are all just spectators.
And this is like the Demolition Derby. That's what it is.

do we have here. We have Rob Goatman, Rob Goatman right.
(21:34):
Sin says, as much as Jerry Jones may try. He
will never be able to out circus the Ben Mahler
Show and the Mallard Militia Number one. Then we had
blind on Blind Crime as a blind Scott, a very upset,
very upset, says that Jerry from Rhode Island is she's
(21:56):
fake blonde of a fake blind according to blind Scott,
he says, I remember you meeting her? I did. I
met her at a Red Sox Dodger game. She won
a contest Jerry when the Red Sox and Dodgers played
in the twenty eighteen World Series where they flew her
from Rhode Island out to la And she was at
(22:19):
one of the World Series games there and I had
a chance to meet her and a very nice, big
fan of the show and all that, and Scott's of
course taking shots at her. There you go. So he's upset.
He is so upset with all the other blind people,
it's very odd to me. Anyway's go ahead, let's go
with the phones and let's say hello now to Andre,
(22:41):
who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre and his dog Willis
Hello Andre, going once, going twice, going three times. There
he is there, he is he woke up? Andre, I
am here. Ben okay, all right, I'm here too.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Yeah, my apologies for being late to the call. Unusual
and it and certainly won't happen again.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You can hear.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Willis, who's been not reprimanded but kindly told you maybe
need to turn it down a little bit, which he's
gonna do. He's not gonna be as so much involved
and said takee but he's around to motivate if needed.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Then.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
But we started the show talking about the okidoki, which
I'm not for, Okay, I'm for the hockey poking, which
can help things get turned around. So we've got situations
going on in Major League Baseball, folks doing some things
they shouldn't be doing, their agents, uh, subscribing to deals
that aren't beneficial for the player, the development company, or
(23:42):
anybody in particular. But that's because it is the okie doke,
all right, get yourself back to the hokey poking, all right,
so you can get turned around. I'm talking about show
hail timey right when we want shame on you. This
is the second time show Hey, seems that you're you know,
you're running the foul of the law. First time your
interpreter had to take the run of the fall. Now
next time it's your agent.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Really, I.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
Think that we're looking at a situation where, uh, you're
living a little bit too much in the fastling with
these get rich quick schemes, which are gambling. As you know, Ben,
you're right, everybody you have this, you know, superior insight.
But if we've seen Martin Scorsese's classics on casino based
on the book by Nicholas Peleggi, that the casino is
the only win you get sold a dream, that's all
(24:25):
you get. But we're the only winners, all right. So
sometimes if you're a sohoe Otani, you're a you're a
phenom generational talent, you think it's going to be different
with you, but of course it's not. We can literally
lessen from Charles Barkley and his four hundred thousand dollars
debt when the All Star Game was in New Orleans.
So back to the central point. Well, let's this come
right now. The next call, you might be fired up again,
all right, but we're trying to work with you here, Ben,
(24:46):
get rid of the Oki dokiing. Let's get back to
the hokey pokey. Mister Sohn focused on baseball focus on pitching,
focus on hitting and getting the dollars back to the
world city.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's what we need.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
That that's what this call. I'm not it's all good.
It's all good. Mentioned the Oki Doky with the Minnesota Twins,
not the Dodge and I was more ripping Dave Roberts earlier.
And if you missed it, the Dodgers got swept by
the Angels, and Dave Roberts his quote following the game
was he liked the way they played. They got swept.
(25:18):
He thought, across the board, we did good job competing
in a vacuum. We played well. Now the way they play,
they should play in a vacuum. It'd be expensive vacuum
and it'll it'll only work part of the time. That's
that's it. Russell checks in he's a fan of the
(25:38):
show The Real Martin says, I hope there are not
resort parking fees for the Vegas Meet and greet. No,
it's at a restaurant. It's not a hotel or resort
or anything like that. There's a kind of a like
a as I remember, it's like a strip mall right
near UNLV. It's a two story bar. Cool place, Fergdall, complaining, says,
(26:01):
please bring Willis back, Bring Willis back. Martin also said
I failed to mention this part the real Martin from
the airport in Denver, unless he's changed jobs and didn't
tell me about that. He says, Hey, Mallard, I just
realized that Mark the full name guy could be a
great Bond villain with his sarcastic, creepy laugh that he has. Yeah,
(26:29):
there's a lot going on with Mark the full name guy,
A lot a lot going on. Let's go back to
the phones. The Black Irishman is up next. Hello, Black Irishman.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Hey, yes, sir, you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Come hang out with us, Black Irishman, take your take
the family man. We'll hang out in Vegas. We'll have
a great time. Let me let me tell you something,
Black Irishman, if you show up to Vegas, let me
tell you I'm gonna do for you. You know what
I do for you? You want to know what I'm gonna
do for you? What do you think I'm gonna do
for you? What do you What do you think I'm
gonna do? If you show up to Vegas, I am
(27:07):
going to wear the Creighton Blue Jay hat that you
got me. No, twenty twenty, we had a bet. I
am gonna I am gonna wear that Creighton Blue Jay
hat every every minute.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
They have a hat.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
They didn't have a hat. Okay, I can't believe that
they couldn't have a hat, but I did not have
a hat. It's Walmart. They have everything at Walmart. They
have something you don't need it Walmart. I'm serious, man,
I mean real, all right, what's going on now? You
you've called this? Your daughter's up late playing video games?
Speaker 5 (27:37):

Speaker 8 (27:38):

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah? And how old is your daughter? Again?

the night playing video game? When does she is it still?

Absolutely, I never. My My biggest problem was I hated
getting up early for school. I've never been a morning person.
Oh yeah, And it took me until about lunchtime to
wake up. Even when I went to school, it was
just a nightmare. I just and I think now though,
there's a lot of places they start school a little later. Yeah,
and they let The other thing I've noticed when the
(31:06):
kid was in school, they have we're pajamas. If I
showed up to school on pajamas, they would have sent
me home. And now like these days you can just
show up and wear pajamas. Coades.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
These days are crazy, Like I got sent home for
wearing a skirt that was like down to my fingertips.
My nieces be wearing booty shorts up in these schools
now with like tops and they're mid drift showing.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Man, are we missed out on that? I didn't. I
don't know, but I did. They just give up on
enforcing any kind of dress code. They're like, just do
whatever you want.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Why don't hear something crazy?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
What's it?
Speaker 9 (31:45):
One of my family members who was younger, she wore
regular clothes to school and then went to the locker
room and switched into the.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Houchi mama cloth.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
The switch a room and the school.
Speaker 9 (31:57):
Well did not call for five periods.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Wow, it's incompetence, systemic incompetence.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
I got in trouble for my Halloween costume. What did
you wear? I dressed up as a tampon.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
That's a we've had. That's a drop, that's noodlet, but
that is a drop. There is a drop in there,
Coop said, atalliance with the tampon has been but you
could have said, you could have said you were something
else that It looks kind of like a I did.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I drawed when like teachers asked me what I was
dressed as. I said, no, I said, I set a
body pillow.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Well, it is a body pillow for very in an area,
it is a body pillow.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
Yes, curious what this looked like like? Did you have
a string coming out of your.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I was.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
I was literally in a full body pillow.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
And then it had it was a it was a
shoelace attached to the bottom and then at the time.
My my mom had Rottweiler's so there was also uh,
you know, a little black black.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Well, they were they were worried Coop because they as
you know, good hygiene you no, no, no, I think
what they were doing. They were okay with the costume,
but they worried because you know, you can't leave that
on for too long, Coop, it becomes a problem. They
want to they want to take the costume toxic socks
and yeah, exactly couple hours. Yeah, change. You should have
(33:35):
about two or three costumes coop with different all right. Anyway,
it is the the Ben Mallor Show. So the Humble
Brag department. Has anyone watched this, uh this Taylor Swift
podcast thing as anyone.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
Watched the highlights?
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, I haven't watched it, and I don't think I'm
gonna watch it. I don't think I'm gonna watch it.
I don't really care that much to watch it. I
I've seen I have seen some clips and and all that,
but I saw now this is Travis Kelcey and Jason
Kelsey with Taylor Swift, and they dropped this thing. And
then Jason Kelsey, not Travis, not Travis, but Jason Kelsey,
(34:14):
they got you to play for the Eagles. He said,
oh my god, there's already nine hundred and seventy six
thousand people watching this live. What is the what the
actual f he said, that's the the humble break.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Like did he did?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
He not think that people going to watch? And I
don't even know how real those numbers are.
Speaker 9 (34:34):
No, I'm sure they broke the internet with it, to
be honest.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
My internet's working, so I don't know. I didn't have
any podcast.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
I bet they broke like the podcast by having did
you hear them scream like little Girls? When she pulled
the album out of the bag though.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Well, yeah, the the new album was it show Girl?
Speaker 7 (34:51):
Is that the Yeah, the Tales of a show Girl
or something.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Tales of a Showgirl? Because Taylor Swift before she became famous,
was her show the showgirl? Yeah, another life. She was
a floozy back in the day.
Speaker 9 (35:02):
And then now she's I hope I'll go find it
for us hopefully, and yeah, and there's Jason and Travis
going it was I'm like, are you serious, Oh my god,
you're going too hard?
Speaker 1 (35:14):
A little a little much, a little much. Do you
think she got paid for that or or I mean,
I know they're in a relationship, but does she do
anything without getting paid? I mean, she's the biggest star
in the in the in the United States, if not
the world, Taylor Swift, So I mean, does she do
anything unless she's getting some money out of it? I
guess he's making money. Travis Kelcey, I guess out of that.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
So if they get married, what's his is hers?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Right, Well, it depends what kind of prenup. She's the
She's the one that's got the money. So I'm gonna
take the position she's gonna have a prenup. Right, If
you're Taylor Swift, you got to protect your money.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, So anyway, it is the Ben Malors Show. If

Dick Trickle. Guests by Mister Irrigation, Patrick Starr from alf
the Illini Piter, Mister Unlimited from Andy and Lino Lakes,
(38:49):
George the Animal Steel from Robin Vegas. So I got

Speaker 8 (39:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Ah?
Speaker 7 (39:17):
Yes, since Woodstock Woodstock.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
No, that is a terrible answer. The last person to
do it would be Hunter Renfro, Hunter Renfro with the Padres.
Here we go, It's Mallard.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
How about here we go?
Speaker 1 (39:33):
He degree? This is when Big Ben gets grilled cooler?
All right.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
The Atlanta Falcons have the second longest playoff drought in
the NFL, and they are actually a popular bet to
end that drought this season.
Speaker 7 (39:48):
Ben, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, I'm not on board. Raheem Morris a good coordinator.
I know he's a very good coach. And I'm not
completely sold on Michael Pennix junior. And you gotta have
the quarterback. I'm not you know, he can prove me
wrong here. I'm not buying it. The reason people were
picking the Falcons. It's a wide open division, right Carolina sucks.
The Saints are gonna be the worst team in the NFL,
so it's really between Atlanta and Tampa Bay.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Next, Jose Ramirez and the Cleveland Guardians are heating up
at the right time last night, notwithstanding, they have gone
twenty two to nine over the last thirty one games,
put themselves into position for a wild card spot. Ben,
do you think they could ride this way two a
division title?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Well?
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Whould they? Yes? I mean, listen, the Tigers are a
better team. The problem with the team, like the Guardians,
is they just don't hold up in a playoff environment.
They don't give you nightmares. They don't give you a
sleep panic. There's no boogeyman there. It's just like a
regular season team. The playoffs are going to be a debacle. Next.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
When the Cruiz Beeck family sold the Celtics in March,
it was reported that wit grus Beck would stay on
as the Celtics CEO and governor through the twenty seven
twenty eighth season. Now that's no longer the case, and
new owner Bill Chisham will take over once the sales final.
Same thing happened to Mark Key when he stole the MAVs.
You think Genie Buss could be pushed out early as well?
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Yeah so I the Grossbeck thing because he didn't own
fifteen percent. He can't be the you know, the person
at the table. But yeah, Genie Bus should They shouldn't
be out. How do we go? Ass?
Speaker 7 (41:14):
I guess
Howdy, it's our barn Tay. Our number two is ready

But here in hour number two, how did Jerry Jones
comment about The Cowboys being a soap opera three hundred
and sixty five days a year sound to you. Also,
let's play the fill in the blank game the Cowboys
hitting the pause button in the Micaeh Parsons negotiation is
(01:07):
blank and why did the picture of Nico Harrison and
Aaron Rogers create such a visceral reaction from Steelers camp.
Talk about that as well. All of it's coming your
way right now here. It is our number two three,
one hundred and sixty five. That is the number. Remember
that number. Welcome in the beginning another another hour of
(01:32):
the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere,

Show'd be so our lead. This hour is from Jerry's world.
The Gift that keeps on giving baby every day he
cooks off a Smorgasborg. He does if you haven't the
(03:01):
latest on this man, wonderful, good stuff, good stuff yet again,
So the Cowboy owner Jerry Jones has yet again poked
the fan. He's annoyed the fan. A percentage of the
fan base appears to be annoyed. Here now, what did
Jerry do?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
He admitted the team is a quote soap opera three
hundred and sixty five days a year by design. Jerry,
commenting during a recent red carpet interview. Might remember we
mentioned in a previous episode of the show there is
a Netflix documentary on the Cowboys which is dropping in
(03:39):
a few days. The Cowboys. There is a quote from
Jerry Jones, the Cowboys are a soap opera three hundred
and sixty five days a year, and he said, when
it gets slow, I stir it up. Quote continues, and
so it's wonderful. Joanes said, to have the great athletes,
have the great players. But there's something more there. There's emotion,
(04:02):
and if you will, there's controversy. That controversy is good
stuff in terms of keeping and having people's attention. All right,
so let us discuss the question how did Jerry Jones
comment I just gave you the comment how did Jerry
Jones commentary here about the Cowboys being a soap opera
(04:23):
three hundred and sixty five days a year sound to you?
So I've got triple Baconator, the Wolf of Wall Street,
and secret Handshake, and we will combine all of these
things together, put them. We get boom just like boom,
just like that, and we'll see what happens. So a,
the first thought I had was self absorbed, which is
(04:46):
rather obvious. You don't need me to tell you that
Jerry has made himself the story. Say what you want. However,
Jerry Jones is a maestro of business. He's also transparent
on this one. Wouldn't be great if more of our
politicians were transparent like the Cowboys are a soap up
and of course there. I talk about it more than anybody.
(05:07):
They suck the Cowboys three hundred and sixty five days
a year. And as he said, when it gets slow,
he stirs it up. He said that before. This is
not new, and you know again it's not me paraphrasing.
That was the quote. When it gets slow, he I
stir it up. And three hundred and sixty five days
a year. He just flat out admits it. Like if
you don't like it, you can't handle the truth. That
(05:29):
famous line from Jack Nichols, you can't handle the truth.
Few good men. So Jerry is proud of turning his
team into the young and the restless. And it's all
by design, you know. Jerry Jones cracked the code. He
got the it's like figuring out DNA. He figured out
the code. And he slow walks contract extensions. Whether it
(05:52):
was Dak and Ceedee Lamb in years past or what's
going on right now, it doesn't matter. He drags him out.
Bunch of media dopes complain, Oh, Jerry's costing the Cowboys
millions of dollars. What's he doing? Well? Why do they
do it? Because it creates tension? What does tension lead to?
(06:13):
It leads to engagement, It creates talking points. It's a
self fulfilling prophecies. The vortex, the Cowboys vortex. It creates content.
Content is what it's all about. Content is king. The
Cowboys are never quiet. It's like if Vince McMahon owned
an NFL team back in his heyday and professional wrestling
basic man of the NFL, only Jerry does not have
(06:35):
the muscles, and he doesn't take chairs to the head
and there's no die there. Jerry's had some work done,
but that's fine. And a little Pt Barnum in there too,
you know. Step right up, Step ride up, Come one
and all fun for all ages. The amazing Cowboys under
the Big Top. You can watch them collapse in the
playoffs if we make it. Tickets on sale now. Every
(07:00):
news conference with Jerry Jones reminds me of being a
kid watching the Macho Man Randy Savage and Hal Cogan
and I'm waiting for me and gene Oakerland to pop
in there. It's like a wrestling promo. Come see the
Dallas Cowboys appearing at your local arena on this Saturday morning.
Every delay on a contract is a storyline. It is
(07:21):
and when there's no story, Jerry, just make one up.
It's make it up. I don't figure it out. And
you know what, it's free marketing. It is whatever it costs. Right,
there's actual money because they they don't sign the players
right away. You save money if you send them. Right.
But he figures listen, I'm gonna make that back on
(07:43):
media coverage and spoiler alert, he is franchise value. Cowboys
are number one. They're right. Yeah. You know how many
NFL teams get wall to wall television and radio coverage
year round? One one team that's the Dallas Cowboys. The
Eagles won the Super Bowl, and is anyone yapping about
(08:05):
the Eagles? They get mentioned now and again. They won,
They had the winning recipe. The Cowboys have the formula
to get attention. Jerry has basically turned the NFL's most
valuable franchise into his own reality show. It's very primal.
The other thing I've noticed about this, talking about it
three or four times a week, is how primal it is.
(08:26):
The cowboy fan, the cowboy fan hardwired to eat this up.
They are. It's like fast food for the brain. It's
like going to Windy's and you get that triple bacon
eater back in the day, and the frosty and high drama.
In this case, there's a lot of salt. It's actually
terrible for you in the long run, but you keep
(08:48):
going back for more. Now unpopular opinion. Other teams should
be copying what the Cowboys are doing. And Jerry's getting
up there. He's not gonna be around that much longer.
And if you want to be relevant and you want
to increase value and all that, you want attention, you
can copy the Ravens. Or Ravens have good teams every year.
The Bills have been really good for the last six
(09:10):
seven years or so. Maybe more like the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Though.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You create the drama, you stir the pot. It's a
little messy, it's a little sticky, little human. In Jerry's world,
the ratings and the franchise value, that is much more
important than the Super Bowl trophy. It just is. Now
page two, staying with this theme, if you will. Staying
with this theme. So, MICHAEH. Parsons was spotted this week
(09:33):
watching Cowboy practice, not taking part watching, and he was
only a couple of feet away from Jerry Jones. The
afore mentioned Jerry Jones, who liked the Cowboys so much
he bought the team and then became the GM, and
he's been the gym longest tenured GM in the NFL.
So Jerry Jones and Michael Parsons are standing just feet
away from each other on the sidelines, but nothing has
(09:55):
changed regarding the long contract negotiation between the two sides. Oh,
Jerry Jones was asked what is preventing the sides from talking?
And Jerry Jones said really. He then paused and said nothing.
Nothing again, he said nothing would be that, Jones said,
(10:17):
and we might or we might not talk, and the
rest of that gets into what we do every day.
All right, little confusing there, but close quote Parsons declining
to comment as he sashaded his way off the practice field.
There for the Cowboys. So let's do a fill in
(10:37):
the blank question. Fill in the blank. I'm gonna go first.
Then you can go if you want and call in
or send a message in Cowboys hitting the pause button,
hitting the pause button on the remote control, just like
that hitting the pause button in Micah Parson's negotiation is blank.
Filling the blank. So my word on this is premeditated.
(11:01):
That is my word, premeditated. Again, my position is that
Jerry Jones is going to take this to the buzzer,
right to the buzzer, like every good Bond movie where
there's the diet sticks of dynamite wrapped in tape. There's
there's weird wires, and you gotta figure out how you
cut the blue wire the red wire, and you gotta
do it right before the clock strikes, you know, zero
(11:21):
zero and all that stuff. And so that's what's gonna
happen here. Choreograph choreographed chaos. As I learned from the
Wolf of Wall Street, it's all for Gayzy or for Gazi.
Uh you know, for Gayzy is though, Uh it's fake,
That's what it is. So it's all it's that's what
it is, all right. Now, last word, we move from
Jerry's world and we go to the land of the
(11:44):
insert u Petsburg Steelers. Well that is where, of all people,
Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison. Yes, that Nik, Yes, that's
the same guy, Nico Harrison. So the Maverick Nico Harrison
was spotted meeting at Steeler training camp with Aaron Rodgers,
(12:07):
among others. Now, how do I know this? How am
I aware of this? Because the picture that they took
sitting at a table has gone viral. Now, maybe you
saw it, maybe you heard about it. Maybe you didn't
hear about it. Maybe you didn't see it. I don't know.
That's your your life. But I saw it, and if
I hadn't seen it, I had people sending to me,
(12:28):
did you see this? Oh my god, you gotta talk
about this. Oh my god. Okay, I don't know that
I have to talk about this, but I am talking
about it. I am talking about So I did a
little investigating and I was like, well, how does Nico
Harrison end up at a table with Aaron Rodgers. It
seems very bizarre to me. So it turns out that
one of the good friends of Nico Harrison, one of
(12:50):
the good friends of Nico Harrison is Steeler's coach Mike Tomlin.
Their besties. Their besties. That's an odd tearing, isn't it.
How did they become buddies? That seems odd? There must
be some story there. I don't know what the story
is anyway, So Tomlin and Nico Harrison are buddies, and
apparently Nico Harrison was at training camp the last couple
(13:13):
of years. Of course, nobody knew who he was. Nobody
cared about Nico Harrison. Now, of course that story has
changed dramatically. So question on this one, question on this one.
Why why do you think the picture of Nico Harrison
and Aaron Rodgers created such a visceral reaction. So I'll
(13:34):
give my psychobabble and then you can chime in and
just my reaction seeing the photo of the Mavericks GM
and then the NFL's resident evangelist of the Ayahuasca, Aaron Rodgers,
it felt like you were ease dropping in on something
(13:54):
that you weren't supposed to see. It looked like there
was some kind of secret handshake that was going on.
You know, they were like shaking hands, like a couple
of Bond villains. To use the Bond reference there, a
couple of Bond villains. It was a snapshot so surreal
that you were like, whoa, I mean, what's going on?
I mean, there they were. Harrison, the man who traded
(14:16):
Luka Doncik. Not really a trade. He just gave Luka
Doncik to the Lakers for a bag of Orville Reddenbacker popcorn,
a stale bag of Orville Reddenbacker popcorn. And I think
he got invited to like a Laker chat, like an
online chat, not in person online. And then you've got
Aaron Rodgers best. He's with Joe Rogan right, the quarterback
(14:38):
treats every conversation like he's doing a Ted talk about
quantum consciousness and all that stuff. And together side by
side at a table with others, with others at Steelers'
training camp, looking like they were plotting some kind of
cross sport coup a coup d'ta. And you had Harrison
there was he trying to recruit ros Hey, Aaron, how
(15:01):
would you like to be the offensive coordinator of the Mavericks? Well, Nico,
whether you guys don't have an offensive for I don't care,
We'll make you one. And as Rogers probably I'm imagining
he's like, oh, listen, Nico, I know there's there's a
way now you can break down teams based on the
holistic abilities. Forget analytics, go with holistic analytics, which is
(15:23):
a different thing, and it's it's we'll bring in Andrea
from Berkeley. We'll bring Andrew in, the astrology insider, and
she'll base what moves we make on the cycle of
the moon. You know, is it. Is it going to
be a wolf moon? What is it going to be? Uh?
You know, we'll look at the Farmer's Almanac, will figure
(15:45):
it out and we'll just do things on gut feelings
and uh. And then Nico's like, well, I don't know
if we should do that. I don't I don't know
about that. Or maybe they were just bonding Rogers and
Nico over the shared love they have for alienation sports
fans and redefining dysfunction dysfunction. But whatever it is that
(16:08):
the photo, it was like this rogue asteroid seeing these
two figures that you know, again, I don't know about you,
but for me, I'm a little too into the weeds
here in this job. And I've talked a lot about
Nico Harrison over the last year, and I've talked for
years about Aaron Rodgers. I mean, we I go so
far back that here at Fox Sports Radio. I did
a show with this guy named Chris Landry on the
(16:29):
weekends in the early days of Fox Sports Radio, and
we used to have Aaron Rodgers on after games he
played at Cal and I always thought, well, he must
not that be be that good because he's coming on
our show and you know, if he's a big star,
he's not gonna come on a radio show half an
hour after Cal played Arizona State or whatever back in
the day. But he did. He came on. It is fine,
(16:51):
it was nice, and that was it. And then he's
gone on and had this amazing, polarizing run in the
NFL with all these different teams. But if Nico Harrison
and Aaron Rogers are the architects of chaos, then that
means that you and I those of us that either
know about the photo if you're blind, or saw the
(17:12):
photo if you're not blind, we are all just spectators.
And this is like the Demolition Derby. That's what it is.

three o'clock till five, will beat the Stakeout Bar and

We'll have a good time slug putting all that together.
And I cannot wait to get to Vegas. And we'll
(21:12):

go all right, back to it and back to it.
Later this hour we will have Mallor to the third degree.
Mallard to the third Degree. That'll be coming up a
little bit later in the hour. And let's see what
do we have here. We have Rob Goatman, Rob Goatman right.
(21:34):
Sin says, as much as Jerry Jones may try. He
will never be able to out circus the Ben Mahler
Show and the Mallard Militia Number one. Then we had
blind on Blind Crime as a blind Scott, a very upset,
very upset, says that Jerry from Rhode Island is she's
(21:56):
fake blonde of a fake blind according to blind Scott,
he says, I remember you meeting her? I did. I
met her at a Red Sox Dodger game. She won
a contest Jerry when the Red Sox and Dodgers played
in the twenty eighteen World Series where they flew her
from Rhode Island out to la And she was at
(22:19):
one of the World Series games there and I had
a chance to meet her and a very nice, big
fan of the show and all that, and Scott's of
course taking shots at her. There you go. So he's upset.
He is so upset with all the other blind people,
it's very odd to me. Anyway's go ahead, let's go
with the phones and let's say hello now to Andre,
(22:41):
who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre and his dog Willis
Hello Andre, going once, going twice, going three times. There
he is there, he is he woke up? Andre, I
am here. Ben okay, all right, I'm here too.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Yeah, my apologies for being late to the call. Unusual
and it and certainly won't happen again.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You can hear.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Willis, who's been not reprimanded but kindly told you maybe
need to turn it down a little bit, which he's
gonna do. He's not gonna be as so much involved
and said takee but he's around to motivate if needed.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Then.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
But we started the show talking about the okidoki, which
I'm not for, Okay, I'm for the hockey poking, which
can help things get turned around. So we've got situations
going on in Major League Baseball, folks doing some things
they shouldn't be doing, their agents, uh, subscribing to deals
that aren't beneficial for the player, the development company, or
(23:42):
anybody in particular. But that's because it is the okie doke,
all right, get yourself back to the hokey poking, all right,
so you can get turned around. I'm talking about show
hail timey right when we want shame on you. This
is the second time show Hey, seems that you're you know,
you're running the foul of the law. First time your
interpreter had to take the run of the fall. Now
next time it's your agent.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Really, I.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
Think that we're looking at a situation where, uh, you're
living a little bit too much in the fastling with
these get rich quick schemes, which are gambling. As you know, Ben,
you're right, everybody you have this, you know, superior insight.
But if we've seen Martin Scorsese's classics on casino based
on the book by Nicholas Peleggi, that the casino is
the only win you get sold a dream, that's all
(24:25):
you get. But we're the only winners, all right. So
sometimes if you're a sohoe Otani, you're a you're a
phenom generational talent, you think it's going to be different
with you, but of course it's not. We can literally
lessen from Charles Barkley and his four hundred thousand dollars
debt when the All Star Game was in New Orleans.
So back to the central point. Well, let's this come
right now. The next call, you might be fired up again,
all right, but we're trying to work with you here, Ben,
(24:46):
get rid of the Oki dokiing. Let's get back to
the hokey pokey. Mister Sohn focused on baseball focus on pitching,
focus on hitting and getting the dollars back to the
world city.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's what we need.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
That that's what this call. I'm not it's all good.
It's all good. Mentioned the Oki Doky with the Minnesota Twins,
not the Dodge and I was more ripping Dave Roberts earlier.
And if you missed it, the Dodgers got swept by
the Angels, and Dave Roberts his quote following the game
was he liked the way they played. They got swept.
(25:18):
He thought, across the board, we did good job competing
in a vacuum. We played well. Now the way they play,
they should play in a vacuum. It'd be expensive vacuum
and it'll it'll only work part of the time. That's
that's it. Russell checks in he's a fan of the
(25:38):
show The Real Martin says, I hope there are not
resort parking fees for the Vegas Meet and greet. No,
it's at a restaurant. It's not a hotel or resort
or anything like that. There's a kind of a like
a as I remember, it's like a strip mall right
near UNLV. It's a two story bar. Cool place, Fergdall, complaining, says,
(26:01):
please bring Willis back, Bring Willis back. Martin also said
I failed to mention this part the real Martin from
the airport in Denver, unless he's changed jobs and didn't
tell me about that. He says, Hey, Mallard, I just
realized that Mark the full name guy could be a
great Bond villain with his sarcastic, creepy laugh that he has. Yeah,
(26:29):
there's a lot going on with Mark the full name guy,
A lot a lot going on. Let's go back to
the phones. The Black Irishman is up next. Hello, Black Irishman.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Hey, yes, sir, you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Come hang out with us, Black Irishman, take your take
the family man. We'll hang out in Vegas. We'll have

they couldn't have a hat, but I did not have

be honest.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
My internet's working, so I don't know. I didn't have

anything without getting paid? I mean, she's the biggest star
in the in the in the United States, if not
the world, Taylor Swift, So I mean, does she do
anything unless she's getting some money out of it? I
guess he's making money. Travis Kelcey, I guess out of that.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
So if they get married, what's his is hers?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Right, Well, it depends what kind of prenup. She's the
She's the one that's got the money. So I'm gonna
take the position she's gonna have a prenup. Right, If
you're Taylor Swift, you got to protect your money.

The Atlanta Falcons have the second longest playoff drought in
the NFL, and they are actually a popular bet to
end that drought this season.
Speaker 7 (39:48):
Ben, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, I'm not on board. Raheem Morris a good coordinator.
I know he's a very good coach. And I'm not
completely sold on Michael Pennix junior. And you gotta have
the quarterback. I'm not you know, he can prove me
wrong here. I'm not buying it. The reason people were

The Saints are gonna be the worst team in the NFL,
so it's really between Atlanta and Tampa Bay.

regular season team. The playoffs are going to be a debacle. Next.
