Speaker 1 (00:00):
Playball. It's our number two, our number two. How do
you do and how did Bryce Harper's comments about the
World Baseball Classic not being the Olympics up to that
standard land with you? Harper taking a lot of crap
for that. Also, if you're a Dodger fan, are you
(00:20):
annoyed that Keith k Hernandez, who's not even playing in
the Baseball Classic although he's supposed to be part of
Puerto Rico's team, is saying that the WBC is more
meaningful than the Fall Classic. Also, does Derek scoobl the
ace in Motown actually want to be in Detroit or
is he halfway out the door already? You are the
(00:41):
Tigers willing to send him to the airport. We'll talk
about that as well. Settle in for some hot baseball
talk to lead off our number two. You didn't follow
the talking points memo, bad job by you. Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
(01:06):
We are in the air of Rewares. We take a
quantum leap and do a polar plunge coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the mast and you're
catching me. Powerful microphones of FSR ammating live from the

So our lead this hour is from baseball and I
got a couple of emails over the weekend I understand
why you're not into the whole World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I don't hate it, It's.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Just not something I'm all joned up for. I did
watch what a great game. I watched the Mexico game
on Fox Sports one. I think it was FS one.
Mexico played Brazil. I believe it was sixteen to nothing,
very competitive game, outstanding, good competition. There love athletic competition,
(03:16):
but I believe it is from the World Baseball Classic,
where Philly star Bryce Harper was a trending topic over
the weekend. What did he do? Did Bryce Harper end
up getting hurt? Did he No, he didn't get hurt.
Did he hit three home run? No, he didn't hit
three homer Did he demand a trade did the Yankees?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
No, he didn't do that. None of the above, None
of the above. One of the stars of USA's World
Cup World Baseball team, the WBC, Bryce Harper, came out
and he gave a less than ringing endorsement of the
World Baseball Classic. Harper had a lot to say. I
(03:56):
think we have some audio on this. I believe, let's
say we do or not. All right, here we go,
here's a Bryce Harper and his thoughts on the World
Baseball Classic in comparison to that other event that happens
every few years. Let's go to the audio tape take
a listen.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Obviously, the WC has been great, but it's not the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That's no disrespect to the WC or anything, but everybody
knows that when the Olympics are on, everybody's watching, no
matter what sport it is. It could be the most
random sport and it's got, you know, all the fans
watching it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So I'm hoping, you know, like twenty eight happens.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
All right, so again I've been the WBC has been great,
it's not the Olympics, but it's not the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So this was met with condemnation, damnation and vilification. How
dare you? How dare you Bryce Harper not go with
the orthodox and say how great the World Baseball Classic
is because that's what you're supposed to do, and he
didn't do it so good. Jumping off point, let us
discuss the question how did Bryce Harper's comments about the
(04:58):
WBC the World Baseball Classic not being the Olympics up
to the standard of the Olympics land with you. So
I've got five guys combo meal, cookie cutter, stucco house,
and burger king, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to play nice in
(05:18):
the sandbox unless we don't. So number one, I said,
Number y'all right, all right, stop it, please trying to
do a show you So, Bryce Harper says, the World
Baseball Classic is great, but it's not the Olympics. And
as you know from being a loyal minion in the
(05:39):
mal Ord Militia, whether you're sworn it or not, you
know that that word but but but but but but
but but but butt is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Every man, woman and child that has paid any attention
to the Overnight Show knows that anything before the word
butt is a lie. It's a lie. It's the classic
(06:02):
political weasel move, no disrespect, but here comes the disrespect
now truth bomb, truth bomb. But but butt, but that
is the universal lie detector word. It's like when your
buddy says, you know, I'm not trying to start a fight,
but yeah, suddenly you know, you guys are squaring up,
(06:26):
there's chairs flying.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What you're doing? Dude?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Harper nailed it, Like save the faux outrage. The Olympics
are the super Bowl of global sports. Now I'm not
a big Olympic guy either, but I am fair enough
to point out that the Olympics are If you're into
that kind of thing, the global sporting scene, that's where
it's at.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
The WBC.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It might as well be a preseason Bowl game in Shreeport, Okay.
And you know who secretly agrees with Bryce Harper but
will never admit it. We'll never admit it major League based. Well,
the whole thing exists because Major League Baseball got kicked
out of the Olympics in the first place. They were
not deemed cool enough for the Olympics. Have you seen
(07:10):
some of the fugaese sports in the Olympics, And they
kicked baseball out. They got tossed out like a scam
artist caught counting cards in Vegas. Technically not illegal, but
you're not welcome here anymore. And Bud Selick, who was
the commission at the time, and his evil henchman.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Who's been proven to be a worse commissioner.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Than Bud rob manfraud cooked this thing up in a panic.
And look all you need to know about how unpopular
it is the ticket prices. Did you know that the
USA Opener, Now they played a couple of games, but
I think it was on Friday. They buy in price
on the secondary market for the USA Opener, the World
(07:50):
Baseball Classic. It was actually cheaper to buy a ticket
to the World Baseball Classic than to go to five
Guys and get a combo or just even a cheeseburger.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That tells you everything.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
It also tells you the five Guys is overpriced, but
that's a different conversation. Listen again, we'll watch. I did watch.
I've been watching. I've been checking it out.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know I watch it. Why not?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Am I excited?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You know?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
We'll talk about it. I have a talk show to
do every day, so I'll talk about it. Let's not
kidd ourselves though. The Olympics are like the bacon cheeseburger
would be the Olympics very popular burger the WBC.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
That would be a.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Plant based meat burger, no toppings on, just wrapped in
plain paper, wrapped in plane paper. That's it now, Page two.
So on the other side of the aisle, this is
not a bipartisan issue. On the other side of the aisle,
we had a not a star but a guy that's
(08:49):
been in some big games because he happened to be
riding the coat tails of the team in LA.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But we're talking.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
About Keith k Hernandez, so very popular with the Dodger fans.
They love this guy. So he was asked about what
the World Baseball Classic means a Dodger utility guy's a
backup on the Dodgers. Key k A Hernandez, who is
part of Puerto Rico's team. Kind of more than that
in a minute, and he opened up about the tournament
(09:16):
and it's important to said quote, I've played in five
World Series and I don't know if it's because of
what's across my chest.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Which would be Puerto Rico, but the.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Classic feels above that. Hernandez said close quote all right, question,
if you're a Dodgers fan, are you annoyed that Keith
k Hernandez is saying that the World Baseball Classic is
more meaningful than the Fall Classic, where the Dodgers are
one of the last two World Series. So I know
(09:48):
some people out there trying to work Dodger fans into
a ladder. I don't think this as much. I'm not
worked up into anything here. I'm not annoyed, not even
a little bit. If you dep code the messaging here,
Key ky Hernandez is playing to the crowd.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
He's playing the crowd.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
He knows the international audience eats this stuff up. Romanticizing
what is a relatively new shiny toy, the World Baseball Classic.
It's shorter, it's louder at times, and it's certainly fresher.
It's kind of like summer camp. You show up, you
wave the flag, everybody sings Kumbaya, you rowse some marshmallows,
(10:27):
and then you go home. Now that's it. Let's not
get too carried away here, comparing the World Baseball Classic
to the World Series. Right side by side, have the
World Series on one side, you have the World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
On the other.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
It's like comparing the ancient Pyramids to a cookie cutter stucko.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Home at the end of a cul de sac.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
No one would say, well, that's stuck go home in
the cul de sac.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's where it's at.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
No one has history carved in stone, literally, and the
other has a very expensive hoa and some really annoying
people that force you to change the outside of your house.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Because there are a bunch of schmucks.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Now, my favorite part is that keyk who's braggadocious about
how great the World Baseball Classic is in comparison to
the World Series. He's not even playing. He had snap
crackle Poppy tore elbow ligaments and tendons and all that
elbow got all torn up. He had surgeries out till
mid season for the Dodgers. So he's sitting there watching
(11:33):
the World Baseball Classic the same way that you and
I would be watching. And it is also fun to
point out that while Key k Hernandez has the reputation
of being mister October, mister October, the modern day clutch player,
this is more and more a man who shot liberty
valance situation, when the legend becomes the fact, you print
(11:56):
the legend because the reality is that in the World Series,
Key ky Hernandez last year batted under two hundred in
his career in five World Series. Kei k hern Andz
in the Fall Classic is a career two to two hitter.
He's right at the Mendoza ligne in the World Series. Now,
he has had some big hits in other rounds of
(12:17):
the playoffs, and he's even had a few in the
World Series, but overall his full body of work. Kei
ky Hernandez is batting two to two in the World Series.
Put that in your pipe and smoking now. Final point elsewhere,
Cy Young winner Terry scougl who pitched over the weekend,
more on that pitching the World Baseball Classic. More than
that in a minute, But he also revealed the ace
(12:40):
of Motown. The ace of Motown, Terrek schoub Will revealed
the Tigers never ever made him a long term offer
in the offseason. There were stories about would there be
a deal done, would schoolbl sign an extension to stay
in Detroit? And they never made an offer.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
That's what he said over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And then there won't be an offer until the end
of the season, the Cy Young pitcher said when he
could potentially become a free agent, he said, quote, there
is no offer and there won't be an offer, schoobl
said until the end of the season. My focus is
on playing baseball and winning this year. Schooble grumbled to
a gaggle of reporters there. He says, I'll deal with
(13:20):
the contract stuff at the end of the year and
then we'll kind of see and that's fine.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's their decision.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
All right, question, does Trek Schooble actually want to be
in Detroit and does Detroit want him? Or is he
halfway out.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The door already?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Is this just a FATA complee that when we get
to the Midsummer trade deadline he's gone? All right, so
spare me the violin music?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Is schoopbl not emotional? Not emotional about Detroit?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Now?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
My word for this, and I would say it's on
both sides, is indifference. In difference, the Tigers are owned
by old family money. The pizza pizza, pizza guys long gone.
The family runs the Tigers, and that money, if they
don't spend it on Schooble, they can spend it on
private jets and third and fourth homes, vacation homes and
(14:15):
things like that. And so they're in an interesting situation
to trade because they're supposed to be one of the
better teams.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
In the American League this year than Tigers.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
They were in the playoffs last year.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
We saw what they did a year ago.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
So if you're in contention, you cannot trade schoob then
you end up like the Angels with Otani, although they
were not really in contention that year.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
They were like a.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Faux contender, and the Angels had offers for Otani and
didn't trade him.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
What happened to him?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I guess he signed with the Dodgers. I don't know
if they've had any success or not. I have to
go check on that. But that's the problem. So if
Detroit's good, you got to keep Schooble. If he's bad,
you get rid of him. But the chances are pretty
good that they'll be good. And I think he's indifference.
If the Tigers are the highest bidder, which it doesn't
seem like they're interested in being. Suddenly then Schoobol comes out.
(15:06):
I love mochad. Oh my god, Detroit Stall Pizza is
the greatest doll pizza in the world. Those coney dogs
to die for the whole thing, right Greek Town, come
on and right now though he's at the twenty six
mile mark of the marathon, the twenty six mile mark
of the marathon, two tenths of a mile left until
he runs straight in to a giant pit of money
(15:30):
like think Fort Knox, the vault at Fort Knox, And
when he gets there, he's going burger king baby and
have it your way and Schoobl's ordering the whopper with
extra zeros because he's gonna get a whopper now, believe
just starting pitching wise, the Philadelphia Phillies Zach Wheeler, of
(15:52):
all people, has the highest average annual value of their
contract at forty two million a year.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
For Zach A.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Wheeler, Oh my god, SCHOOLBL is gonna get at least
forty five million a year. He's looking at something like
five years, two hundred and twenty five million.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
That's like the starting point for a school BL.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Now, as far as the I'm focusing on baseball, that
is humbuggery. Yeah, just like me, I'm focusing on the
talk show. If management wants to give me a new
contract and pay me a lot more money and give
me a helicopter, I'm good. I'm in okay. I can
multi task. I can do the talk show and I
(16:34):
can sign the docu sign and get the contract.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'm good to go.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I'm good to go. Right, that's it, good to go.
So I was always say, oh, I'm focused on baseball.
If Detroit right now put an offer of six years
two hundred and sixty million or six years three hundred
million on the table, he would sign faster, faster than
a guy slapping that, you know, the buy it Now
button on eBay. He'd be all about it, man, he'd
(16:59):
be all about it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):

(19:40):
Bryce Harper pointing out that the Olympics are cooler than
the World Baseball Classic. Didn't get the talking points memo

she's still single. I'm asking for a gold digger friend
(20:26):
of mine.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Boso.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, let's see if she's available. She's a lovely lady
in my apologies to her. Truck stop Fungus writes, and
he says, the Jets may as well bring in Jeff
George out of retirement. At this point, we can bring
in Ken O'Brien. Go back in Jet's history. I don't
know how far back you want to go in Jet's
history and see who can come out.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
There and play.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Jill, the Yankee fan in Minnesota, very upset with Bryce
Harper said terrible what Bryce Harper said embarrassing, says our friend,
our friend, Jill. Does that mean, Jill that you do
not want Bryce Harper on the Yankees? Now rumors Bryce
upset with Dombrowski. Phillies get off to a bad start maybe,
(21:09):
although Bryce has been branded with the Philly fanatic tattoos.
So I don't know how you go play for the
Yankees you got the Philly fanatic tattoo. It's a little bit,
a little bit out there. Neil writes, in says I
like Mike Trout, but World Baseball Classic a bit more exciting.
Probably the marketing. Who's your bill rights in and says
(21:31):
I'm gonna bust your ass.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And then he says, you do nine.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Fifteen minute segments, and iHeart coming out of my ears.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
See this is you have a.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Snoring guy, a blind guy. Yeah, so, Bill, I'm glad
that you like the show.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Number one. That means a lot.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
It's very kind of you to listen to the entire show.
And yeah, so what we do here we do four
monologues and then that's each day, and then that's time five,
so that's twenty monologues a week. We then do the podcast,
which is three episodes, and so usually a couple of
(22:14):
monologues in there.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So then we're up to you. We're to give.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Or take twenty three roughly monologues. Then we have other
bits throughout the show that are worked in there throughout
and unlike Key k Hernandez and the baseball players who
get three months off from work, we're here every night.
(22:40):
Like we're not just here during football season. We're here
during basketball season and baseball season and hockey season. We're everywhere.
It's wild. Anyway, let's let's go back.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
To the holds and we'll say hello.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
To hollering James in Minneapolis, MINASLT. Hello, Hollering James.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Oh bet I made the show I made the show,
your show.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Never morning. Congratulations, I'm being awake.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
It's a big.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
You know why I'm awake because of them says you
came back, change, you come back again.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Oh okay, So that's why you stayed awake.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
That's why I had a return.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
So did you see shut up? Did you see the
end of the LA Marathon. Did you see this?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
No? I was listening to media baseball talk.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh man, I didn't watch this live. However, this is
my life. I guess the fake, the faker Rosie Ruiz
or whatever her name was. It the Boston Marathon where
she took the subway to finish the marathon. That's the
greatest moment in marathon history. However, this dude from Jackson,
Michigan who sprinted at the end of the LA Marathon,
(23:57):
Nathan Martin generic name guy. He won the LA Marathon
by a split second. Hell yeah, this was wow, James,
This was amazing, James, James. This guy. There's a forty
second clip online the guy from I think it was
from Kenya, who was way out in front like he
(24:18):
just like he had it in the bag. The game
was over, it was his and the race was over,
he is gonna win it, and this guy Martin came
from way behind. It was one of the great finishes
because the guy from Kenya, I.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Don't bet I'm dating myself, but he had the shrie
fight Ronaldo Nea Maya.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Okay, you're adding to my story. Thank you, James. You know,
just stay there, don't hang out. But what what I'm
trying to finish the story. This guy's a substitute teacher
at a high school in Michigan and he ends up winning.
You know, I know it's not the Boston or LA Marathon,
but the Boston and New York Marathon, but the LA
Marathon and this guy at the very new think you'd
(24:57):
be so tired at the end of a marathon. And
what's the line that we always here, It's a marathon,
not a sprint. With this guy, it was a marathon
and a sprint. Way to go, Nathan Martin. I don't
know who you are now. I couldn't pick out of
a lineup, and I don't I know much about you,
but that was awesome. What a great finish.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I mean, that is amazing that he.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Pulled that off. James. You think you could beat him?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
No, I could never beat him over a way. Yeah, okay,
fair enough.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
You know what? You know what I get you. There
was a team out there that had a wide receiver.
Who was that team that had a Renaldo to Amaya?
Speaker 2 (25:45):
You want to do?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Are you doing old football trivia? Is that what you're doing?
Speaker 3 (25:49):

Speaker 8 (28:36):
Research basketball games, you know, and uh, anyway, the Lakers

to the Lakers, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Hey, I I didn't watch the game and be its
regular season NBA?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Who cares?
Speaker 8 (28:59):
M Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I left you. You were literally thunderstruck there. You had
nothing to say?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah? Would you? Would you?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Guys like some fun facts?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
What's the I'm reborning your content?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Okay, who's your bill? Says there are zero attorneys in Korea?
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Time there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
It all it's all nuts, and then he.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Said some derogatory things, but yeah, that's it.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
So.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
The longest running show on radio is The Grand Ole Opry,
which has been airing continuously since nineteen twenty five.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Nineteen twenty five, Yes.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
And the longest running overnight show on Coast to coast, Yes, ye,
coast to coast, but.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
That's at a couple of different hosts like George Nore's
been there since early two thousand.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
There he did the weekends.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I think Norrid because when I started here at Fox
and part of the Premiere Networks, we had big Christmas
parties and Art Bell was still working there, and they
brought Art out to the King of Overnight Radio, and
Art showed up to those things a couple of times.
So when he took over, it's been been a minute
or two. All right, tremendous calls. My god, what an
(30:22):
amazing segment of radio. And it gets even better. Jet
who Fled? Hello, Jed who Fled? Welcome Ben?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
You ever wond you watched? You watched Indiana Jones? And
you know, sometimes in life, the trail in front of
you is players that is laid out, and sometimes in
life you have to be you have to jump out
onto the open space and nowhere to land and able
to survive. That's how tough it is to follow those
callers that just were.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Bench.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
I don't even I get cheat code.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
How do I come up to that level of quality?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Undertaker?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Undertaker? I wonder what you guys name. But I'm sitting
here in my part car. I tried to drive into
a concrete embankment. I only live in the city undertakers
are well desertained.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
That guy just now, I'm man, it makes me wonder
about the level.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Of my mental capability because everybody, you know, it's like
these calls, just call this call and I'm like, well,
let me let me set the done here with this intelligence.
Close it above one hundred, and then I might be
I might be forced dumping it. Man, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Stupid is that stupid Dutch?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
That kind of life? Eat those Albus definitely will ever
take a break, because then I might have to reflect
on we'll eating his oranges in with the Beastie Boys.
Another dimension, another dimension. Ste Just because the oranges doesn't
mean they can't count as breakfast, clutch or dinner. Okay,
if you eat them their food.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Fair that's a fair point. That's a fair point. Yeah,
But just think in James's head, he's out there tearing
up the dance floor because he's only eating a couple
of oranges, So in his head he's beating the system.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
I don't know what to say. I was like, do
you think that the claiming claiming up there in the Northwest?
Speaker 7 (32:03):
Do you think that she likes hollering James.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Or snoring James? Because I'm fifty fifty and I'm saying,
if I've been to the bar a little bit, I
kind of got a little you know, a little little
little Randy.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
When when hollering James is awake, he's very much like
many other people when he's sleeping. That's where he really
bends time.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
When you're trying to present yourself as credible. Would you
ever put your office in Koreatown?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I I don't know that people got the joke on that.
Bill's been to jail many times. My man Bill in
Koreatown and uh, he used to live in Venice.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
It was Bill and Venice.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
Nobody's got the joke Ben, because he's let he let
off with like, oh man, you suck so bad.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Well, that's obviously a lie. It's in probably Pinocchio's son.
And he's like, no, no, you're the best. I don't
want to do in the create accident, he takes me,
I didn't do that, but you're not the best, Ben,
you are better?
Speaker 7 (32:59):
Is he using wiggle work weael words.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Weasel words. You are better dest than George Nor How
many time you see a conservative.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
Person that believes in the coast to coast material?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
I thought, you know the entire show's sake. Man, at
least you're real information. Is you know a lot of enough?
Course aen aliens they want to home deep? Is that
not real? One much alet have?
Speaker 7 (33:22):
Going?
Speaker 9 (33:23):
All?
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Go away?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
There you go, Douglas and Mississippi right, since says it
chaps my backside that people can't even have an opinion
anymore because it doesn't fit the narrative of others.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Well, that's the way of the world.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Well, I don't have the way that people have varying opinions.
And then again, the online stuff's all most of it's
fake anyway, It's contrived manipulation, and that's how that works.
So how about Dak Prescott all over the tabloids here,
Dak was supposed to get married next month, no big
celebrity breakup, Tabloids having a field day with this as
(33:55):
his fiances Sarah Jane Ramos and Dak Prescott say x
nay on the wedding a and they broke it off
and there's all kinds of tabloid fodder here they had.
This was a dead giveaway. There was something not right.
They had joint bachelor and bachelorette parties in the Bahamas,
(34:16):
and then right after that.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Wonder what happened.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
What do you think took place at the joint bachelor
and bachelorette party in the Bahamas. We don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I'm guess that. I'm guessing that will come out in
the coming days.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
At the big call off at the last.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Minute, Dak Prescott his woman.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
He's got two kids with his woman, so she's gonna
be cutting her checks for a long time. But she
shared a cryptic Instagram post and just a couple days
before calling off the wedding talking about how they were like,
you know, as long as I have my friends, that's
all I need and all that. So you think Dak
(34:54):
did something or you think she did something, or both,
maybe they both did something. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I'm looking forward to seeing it when it hits the
tabloids in the in the coming days, We'll see what
that's all about. I'm sure they'll be all over that.
And I'm gonna go there. I think she probably did
something because Dak's the meal ticket, all right, Dak's got
all the money and all that, so you want to
I would think you would want to stay with Dak
as long as you could get that money. And so
(35:24):
maybe she had done something, but who knows.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
We'll see in the in the.
Speaker 1 (35:29):

First Marlin home run, first hit by Marlin, the great
Brett Barbary. There you go, Here we go, Here we go,
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
It's maller.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (39:48):
To the third degree, This is one big Ben gets grilled?
Speaker 2 (39:54):
All right? Cool.
Speaker 9 (39:55):
Been a couple of days ago President Trump held a
saving college Sports table at the White House.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yes, and he.
Speaker 9 (40:02):
Said that he's going to write an executive order within
a week that will quote solve all of the problems
brought forth at that meeting to save college sports. Ben
do you think what do you think is gonna come
with this?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Anything?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Nothing, he's not gonna fix college sports because there'll be
a bunch of lawsuits and they'll take it all the
way to the Supreme Court. And there's a lot of
people making a lot of money off college athletes because
they have nil deal. So it's gonna take.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
The Supreme Court to do something.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
And those those presidential things are nice, but it's not
going to solve the problem.
Speaker 9 (40:32):
Next, Nikola Jokicic was asked about potentially playing for another
team in an interview over the weekend. He said, I
wouldn't like to imagine that, and he went on to
say that he found his life here, his kids were
born here, so on and so forth. Do you think
he's the type of guy that's gonna stick with one
team his whole career.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Well, I'm surprised. I would be surprised if be as
a long career coup. He seems like the kind of guy.
He doesn't seem to really enjoy playing in the NBA.
He'd rather be sitting back home and with his horses
and all that and futzing around at the bar and
all that. But you know, you get me play long enough,
you're gonna eventually play on another team and There's very
few people to stay on one team, so chances are
he'll go somewhere else.
Speaker 9 (41:08):
Next Ben, the Colts traded Zaire Franklin to the Green
Bay Packers. He's only a couple of years removed from
an All Pro season. You think this is a big
move for the Packers.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I wouldn't say it's a big move. It's it's a
name we've heard of, which is rare on defense. How
do we do Kobolo put at the bar? I what
the game
Playball. It's our number two, our number two. How do
you do and how did Bryce Harper's comments about the
World Baseball Classic not being the Olympics up to that
standard land with you? Harper taking a lot of crap
for that. Also, if you're a Dodger fan, are you
(00:20):
annoyed that Keith k Hernandez, who's not even playing in
the Baseball Classic although he's supposed to be part of
Puerto Rico's team, is saying that the WBC is more
meaningful than the Fall Classic. Also, does Derek scoobl the
ace in Motown actually want to be in Detroit or
is he halfway out the door already? You are the
(00:41):
Tigers willing to send him to the airport. We'll talk
about that as well. Settle in for some hot baseball
talk to lead off our number two. You didn't follow
the talking points memo, bad job by you. Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
(01:06):
We are in the air of Rewares. We take a
quantum leap and do a polar plunge coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the mast and you're
catching me. Powerful microphones of FSR ammating live from the
(01:31):
shop the sweatshop as we are slaving away over these
hot microphones. The world famous Fox Sports radio studios as
Jola in Dallas reminds us that this hour made possible

So our lead this hour is from baseball and I
got a couple of emails over the weekend I understand
why you're not into the whole World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I don't hate it, It's.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Just not something I'm all joned up for. I did
watch what a great game. I watched the Mexico game
on Fox Sports one. I think it was FS one.
Mexico played Brazil. I believe it was sixteen to nothing,
very competitive game, outstanding, good competition. There love athletic competition,
(03:16):
but I believe it is from the World Baseball Classic,
where Philly star Bryce Harper was a trending topic over
the weekend. What did he do? Did Bryce Harper end
up getting hurt? Did he No, he didn't get hurt.
Did he hit three home run? No, he didn't hit
three homer Did he demand a trade did the Yankees?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
No, he didn't do that. None of the above, None
of the above. One of the stars of USA's World
Cup World Baseball team, the WBC, Bryce Harper, came out
and he gave a less than ringing endorsement of the
World Baseball Classic. Harper had a lot to say. I
(03:56):
think we have some audio on this. I believe, let's
say we do or not. All right, here we go,
here's a Bryce Harper and his thoughts on the World
Baseball Classic in comparison to that other event that happens
every few years. Let's go to the audio tape take
a listen.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Obviously, the WC has been great, but it's not the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That's no disrespect to the WC or anything, but everybody
knows that when the Olympics are on, everybody's watching, no
matter what sport it is. It could be the most
random sport and it's got, you know, all the fans
watching it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So I'm hoping, you know, like twenty eight happens.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
All right, so again I've been the WBC has been great,
it's not the Olympics, but it's not the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So this was met with condemnation, damnation and vilification. How
dare you? How dare you Bryce Harper not go with
the orthodox and say how great the World Baseball Classic
is because that's what you're supposed to do, and he
didn't do it so good. Jumping off point, let us
discuss the question how did Bryce Harper's comments about the
(04:58):
WBC the World Baseball Classic not being the Olympics up
to the standard of the Olympics land with you. So
I've got five guys combo meal, cookie cutter, stucco house,
and burger king, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to play nice in
(05:18):
the sandbox unless we don't. So number one, I said,
Number y'all right, all right, stop it, please trying to
do a show you So, Bryce Harper says, the World
Baseball Classic is great, but it's not the Olympics. And
as you know from being a loyal minion in the
(05:39):
mal Ord Militia, whether you're sworn it or not, you
know that that word but but but but but but
but but but butt is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Every man, woman and child that has paid any attention
to the Overnight Show knows that anything before the word
butt is a lie. It's a lie. It's the classic
(06:02):
political weasel move, no disrespect, but here comes the disrespect
now truth bomb, truth bomb. But but butt, but that
is the universal lie detector word. It's like when your
buddy says, you know, I'm not trying to start a fight,
but yeah, suddenly you know, you guys are squaring up,
(06:26):
there's chairs flying.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What you're doing? Dude?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Harper nailed it, Like save the faux outrage. The Olympics
are the super Bowl of global sports. Now I'm not
a big Olympic guy either, but I am fair enough
to point out that the Olympics are If you're into
that kind of thing, the global sporting scene, that's where
it's at.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
The WBC.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It might as well be a preseason Bowl game in Shreeport, Okay.
And you know who secretly agrees with Bryce Harper but
will never admit it. We'll never admit it major League based. Well,
the whole thing exists because Major League Baseball got kicked
out of the Olympics in the first place. They were
not deemed cool enough for the Olympics. Have you seen
(07:10):
some of the fugaese sports in the Olympics, And they
kicked baseball out. They got tossed out like a scam
artist caught counting cards in Vegas. Technically not illegal, but
you're not welcome here anymore. And Bud Selick, who was
the commission at the time, and his evil henchman.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Who's been proven to be a worse commissioner.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Than Bud rob manfraud cooked this thing up in a panic.
And look all you need to know about how unpopular
it is the ticket prices. Did you know that the
USA Opener, Now they played a couple of games, but
I think it was on Friday. They buy in price
on the secondary market for the USA Opener, the World
(07:50):
Baseball Classic. It was actually cheaper to buy a ticket
to the World Baseball Classic than to go to five
Guys and get a combo or just even a cheeseburger.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That tells you everything.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
It also tells you the five Guys is overpriced, but
that's a different conversation. Listen again, we'll watch. I did watch.
I've been watching. I've been checking it out.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know I watch it. Why not?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Am I excited?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You know?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
We'll talk about it. I have a talk show to
do every day, so I'll talk about it. Let's not
kidd ourselves though. The Olympics are like the bacon cheeseburger
would be the Olympics very popular burger the WBC.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
That would be a.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Plant based meat burger, no toppings on, just wrapped in
plain paper, wrapped in plane paper. That's it now, Page two.
So on the other side of the aisle, this is
not a bipartisan issue. On the other side of the aisle,
we had a not a star but a guy that's
(08:49):
been in some big games because he happened to be
riding the coat tails of the team in LA.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But we're talking.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
About Keith k Hernandez, so very popular with the Dodger fans.
They love this guy. So he was asked about what
the World Baseball Classic means a Dodger utility guy's a
backup on the Dodgers. Key k A Hernandez, who is
part of Puerto Rico's team. Kind of more than that
in a minute, and he opened up about the tournament
(09:16):
and it's important to said quote, I've played in five
World Series and I don't know if it's because of
what's across my chest.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Which would be Puerto Rico, but the.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Classic feels above that. Hernandez said close quote all right, question,
if you're a Dodgers fan, are you annoyed that Keith
k Hernandez is saying that the World Baseball Classic is
more meaningful than the Fall Classic, where the Dodgers are
one of the last two World Series. So I know
(09:48):
some people out there trying to work Dodger fans into
a ladder. I don't think this as much. I'm not
worked up into anything here. I'm not annoyed, not even
a little bit. If you dep code the messaging here,
Key ky Hernandez is playing to the crowd.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
He's playing the crowd.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
He knows the international audience eats this stuff up. Romanticizing
what is a relatively new shiny toy, the World Baseball Classic.
It's shorter, it's louder at times, and it's certainly fresher.
It's kind of like summer camp. You show up, you
wave the flag, everybody sings Kumbaya, you rowse some marshmallows,
(10:27):
and then you go home. Now that's it. Let's not
get too carried away here, comparing the World Baseball Classic
to the World Series. Right side by side, have the
World Series on one side, you have the World Baseball Classic.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
On the other.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
It's like comparing the ancient Pyramids to a cookie cutter stucko.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Home at the end of a cul de sac.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
No one would say, well, that's stuck go home in
the cul de sac.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's where it's at.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
No one has history carved in stone, literally, and the
other has a very expensive hoa and some really annoying
people that force you to change the outside of your house.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Because there are a bunch of schmucks.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Now, my favorite part is that keyk who's braggadocious about
how great the World Baseball Classic is in comparison to
the World Series. He's not even playing. He had snap
crackle Poppy tore elbow ligaments and tendons and all that
elbow got all torn up. He had surgeries out till
mid season for the Dodgers. So he's sitting there watching
(11:33):
the World Baseball Classic the same way that you and
I would be watching. And it is also fun to
point out that while Key k Hernandez has the reputation
of being mister October, mister October, the modern day clutch player,
this is more and more a man who shot liberty
valance situation, when the legend becomes the fact, you print
(11:56):
the legend because the reality is that in the World Series,
Key ky Hernandez last year batted under two hundred in
his career in five World Series. Kei k hern Andz
in the Fall Classic is a career two to two hitter.
He's right at the Mendoza ligne in the World Series. Now,
he has had some big hits in other rounds of
(12:17):
the playoffs, and he's even had a few in the
World Series, but overall his full body of work. Kei
ky Hernandez is batting two to two in the World Series.
Put that in your pipe and smoking now. Final point elsewhere,
Cy Young winner Terry scougl who pitched over the weekend,
more on that pitching the World Baseball Classic. More than
that in a minute, But he also revealed the ace
(12:40):
of Motown. The ace of Motown, Terrek schoub Will revealed
the Tigers never ever made him a long term offer
in the offseason. There were stories about would there be
a deal done, would schoolbl sign an extension to stay
in Detroit? And they never made an offer.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
That's what he said over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And then there won't be an offer until the end
of the season, the Cy Young pitcher said when he
could potentially become a free agent, he said, quote, there
is no offer and there won't be an offer, schoobl
said until the end of the season. My focus is
on playing baseball and winning this year. Schooble grumbled to
a gaggle of reporters there. He says, I'll deal with
(13:20):
the contract stuff at the end of the year and
then we'll kind of see and that's fine.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's their decision.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
All right, question, does Trek Schooble actually want to be
in Detroit and does Detroit want him? Or is he
halfway out.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The door already?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Is this just a FATA complee that when we get
to the Midsummer trade deadline he's gone? All right, so
spare me the violin music?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Is schoopbl not emotional? Not emotional about Detroit?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Now?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
My word for this, and I would say it's on
both sides, is indifference. In difference, the Tigers are owned
by old family money. The pizza pizza, pizza guys long gone.
The family runs the Tigers, and that money, if they
don't spend it on Schooble, they can spend it on
private jets and third and fourth homes, vacation homes and
(14:15):
things like that. And so they're in an interesting situation
to trade because they're supposed to be one of the
better teams.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
In the American League this year than Tigers.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
They were in the playoffs last year.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
We saw what they did a year ago.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
So if you're in contention, you cannot trade schoob then
you end up like the Angels with Otani, although they
were not really in contention that year.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
They were like a.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Faux contender, and the Angels had offers for Otani and
didn't trade him.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
What happened to him?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I guess he signed with the Dodgers. I don't know
if they've had any success or not. I have to
go check on that. But that's the problem. So if
Detroit's good, you got to keep Schooble. If he's bad,
you get rid of him. But the chances are pretty
good that they'll be good. And I think he's indifference.
If the Tigers are the highest bidder, which it doesn't
seem like they're interested in being. Suddenly then Schoobol comes out.
(15:06):
I love mochad. Oh my god, Detroit Stall Pizza is
the greatest doll pizza in the world. Those coney dogs
to die for the whole thing, right Greek Town, come
on and right now though he's at the twenty six
mile mark of the marathon, the twenty six mile mark
of the marathon, two tenths of a mile left until
he runs straight in to a giant pit of money
(15:30):
like think Fort Knox, the vault at Fort Knox, And
when he gets there, he's going burger king baby and
have it your way and Schoobl's ordering the whopper with
extra zeros because he's gonna get a whopper now, believe
just starting pitching wise, the Philadelphia Phillies Zach Wheeler, of
(15:52):
all people, has the highest average annual value of their
contract at forty two million a year.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
For Zach A.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Wheeler, Oh my god, SCHOOLBL is gonna get at least
forty five million a year. He's looking at something like
five years, two hundred and twenty five million.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
That's like the starting point for a school BL.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Now, as far as the I'm focusing on baseball, that
is humbuggery. Yeah, just like me, I'm focusing on the
talk show. If management wants to give me a new
contract and pay me a lot more money and give
me a helicopter, I'm good. I'm in okay. I can
multi task. I can do the talk show and I
(16:34):
can sign the docu sign and get the contract.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'm good to go.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I'm good to go. Right, that's it, good to go.
So I was always say, oh, I'm focused on baseball.
If Detroit right now put an offer of six years
two hundred and sixty million or six years three hundred
million on the table, he would sign faster, faster than
a guy slapping that, you know, the buy it Now
button on eBay. He'd be all about it, man, he'd
(16:59):
be all about it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
All right.

us and spend part of your late night hours with
us listening live or if you're one of those delayed
listeners on the podcast, we welcome you in anyway, but
we're back at it here if you want to be
part of the show. The live show calls the idiots
coming in at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
(19:40):
Bryce Harper pointing out that the Olympics are cooler than
the World Baseball Classic. Didn't get the talking points memo
on that one. Kiky Hernandez did though. And if you
want to say hello on X at Ben Mahler, that's
at Ben Mahler, Lorena FSR, Tech Queen and Cooper Loop
(20:02):
at up Brocco Fan, your comments can and we'll be
used against you in the court of sports radio, so
please act accordingly. Back to it, Boso, the district attorney
says Ben. I'm sorry to hear last I love Boso,
He says, sorry to hear Dona Kelsey's divorced. Any chance
she's still single. I'm asking for a gold digger friend
(20:26):
of mine.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Boso.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, let's see if she's available. She's a lovely lady
in my apologies to her. Truck stop Fungus writes, and
he says, the Jets may as well bring in Jeff
George out of retirement. At this point, we can bring
in Ken O'Brien. Go back in Jet's history. I don't
know how far back you want to go in Jet's
history and see who can come out.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
There and play.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Jill, the Yankee fan in Minnesota, very upset with Bryce
Harper said terrible what Bryce Harper said embarrassing, says our friend,
our friend, Jill. Does that mean, Jill that you do
not want Bryce Harper on the Yankees? Now rumors Bryce
upset with Dombrowski. Phillies get off to a bad start maybe,
(21:09):
although Bryce has been branded with the Philly fanatic tattoos.
So I don't know how you go play for the
Yankees you got the Philly fanatic tattoo. It's a little bit,
a little bit out there. Neil writes, in says I
like Mike Trout, but World Baseball Classic a bit more exciting.
Probably the marketing. Who's your bill rights in and says
(21:31):
I'm gonna bust your ass.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And then he says, you do nine.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Fifteen minute segments, and iHeart coming out of my ears.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
See this is you have a.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Snoring guy, a blind guy. Yeah, so, Bill, I'm glad
that you like the show.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Number one. That means a lot.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
It's very kind of you to listen to the entire show.
And yeah, so what we do here we do four
monologues and then that's each day, and then that's time five,
so that's twenty monologues a week. We then do the podcast,
which is three episodes, and so usually a couple of
(22:14):
monologues in there.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So then we're up to you. We're to give.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Or take twenty three roughly monologues. Then we have other
bits throughout the show that are worked in there throughout
and unlike Key k Hernandez and the baseball players who
get three months off from work, we're here every night.
(22:40):
Like we're not just here during football season. We're here
during basketball season and baseball season and hockey season. We're everywhere.
It's wild. Anyway, let's let's go back.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
To the holds and we'll say hello.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
So did you see shut up? Did you see the
end of the LA Marathon. Did you see this?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
No? I was listening to media baseball talk.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh man, I didn't watch this live. However, this is
my life. I guess the fake, the faker Rosie Ruiz
or whatever her name was. It the Boston Marathon where
she took the subway to finish the marathon. That's the
greatest moment in marathon history. However, this dude from Jackson,
Michigan who sprinted at the end of the LA Marathon,
(23:57):
Nathan Martin generic name guy. He won the LA Marathon
by a split second. Hell yeah, this was wow, James,
This was amazing, James, James. This guy. There's a forty
second clip online the guy from I think it was
from Kenya, who was way out in front like he
(24:18):
just like he had it in the bag. The game
was over, it was his and the race was over,
he is gonna win it, and this guy Martin came
from way behind. It was one of the great finishes
because the guy from Kenya, I.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Don't bet I'm dating myself, but he had the shrie
fight Ronaldo Nea Maya.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Okay, you're adding to my story. Thank you, James. You know,
just stay there, don't hang out. But what what I'm
trying to finish the story. This guy's a substitute teacher
at a high school in Michigan and he ends up winning.
You know, I know it's not the Boston or LA Marathon,
but the Boston and New York Marathon, but the LA
Marathon and this guy at the very new think you'd
(24:57):
be so tired at the end of a marathon. And
what's the line that we always here, It's a marathon,
not a sprint. With this guy, it was a marathon
and a sprint. Way to go, Nathan Martin. I don't
know who you are now. I couldn't pick out of
a lineup, and I don't I know much about you,
but that was awesome. What a great finish.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I mean, that is amazing that he.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Pulled that off. James. You think you could beat him?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
No, I could never beat him over a way. Yeah, okay,
fair enough.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
You know what? You know what I get you. There
was a team out there that had a wide receiver.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Okay, who's your bill? Says there are zero attorneys in Korea?
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Time there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
It all it's all nuts, and then he.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Said some derogatory things, but yeah, that's it.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
So.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
The longest running show on radio is The Grand Ole Opry,
which has been airing continuously since nineteen twenty five.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Nineteen twenty five, Yes.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
And the longest running overnight show on Coast to coast, Yes, ye,
coast to coast, but.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
That's at a couple of different hosts like George Nore's
been there since early two thousand.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
There he did the weekends.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I think Norrid because when I started here at Fox
and part of the Premiere Networks, we had big Christmas
parties and Art Bell was still working there, and they
brought Art out to the King of Overnight Radio, and
Art showed up to those things a couple of times.
So when he took over, it's been been a minute
or two. All right, tremendous calls. My god, what an
(30:22):
amazing segment of radio. And it gets even better. Jet
who Fled? Hello, Jed who Fled? Welcome Ben?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
You ever wond you watched? You watched Indiana Jones? And
you know, sometimes in life, the trail in front of
you is players that is laid out, and sometimes in
life you have to be you have to jump out
onto the open space and nowhere to land and able
to survive. That's how tough it is to follow those
callers that just were.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Bench.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
I don't even I get cheat code.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
How do I come up to that level of quality?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Undertaker?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Undertaker? I wonder what you guys name. But I'm sitting
here in my part car. I tried to drive into
a concrete embankment. I only live in the city undertakers
are well desertained.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
That guy just now, I'm man, it makes me wonder
about the level.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Of my mental capability because everybody, you know, it's like
these calls, just call this call and I'm like, well,
let me let me set the done here with this intelligence.
Close it above one hundred, and then I might be
I might be forced dumping it. Man, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Stupid is that stupid Dutch?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
That kind of life? Eat those Albus definitely will ever
take a break, because then I might have to reflect
on we'll eating his oranges in with the Beastie Boys.
Another dimension, another dimension. Ste Just because the oranges doesn't
mean they can't count as breakfast, clutch or dinner. Okay,
if you eat them their food.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Fair that's a fair point. That's a fair point. Yeah,
But just think in James's head, he's out there tearing
up the dance floor because he's only eating a couple
of oranges, So in his head he's beating the system.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
I don't know what to say. I was like, do
you think that the claiming claiming up there in the Northwest?
Speaker 7 (32:03):
Do you think that she likes hollering James.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Or snoring James? Because I'm fifty fifty and I'm saying,
if I've been to the bar a little bit, I
kind of got a little you know, a little little
little Randy.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
When when hollering James is awake, he's very much like
many other people when he's sleeping. That's where he really
bends time.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
When you're trying to present yourself as credible. Would you
ever put your office in Koreatown?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I I don't know that people got the joke on that.
Bill's been to jail many times. My man Bill in
Koreatown and uh, he used to live in Venice.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
It was Bill and Venice.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
Nobody's got the joke Ben, because he's let he let
off with like, oh man, you suck so bad.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Well, that's obviously a lie. It's in probably Pinocchio's son.
And he's like, no, no, you're the best. I don't
want to do in the create accident, he takes me,
I didn't do that, but you're not the best, Ben,

Speaker 7 (32:59):

All?
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Go away?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
There you go, Douglas and Mississippi right, since says it
chaps my backside that people can't even have an opinion
anymore because it doesn't fit the narrative of others.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Well, that's the way of the world.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Well, I don't have the way that people have varying opinions.
And then again, the online stuff's all most of it's
fake anyway, It's contrived manipulation, and that's how that works.
So how about Dak Prescott all over the tabloids here,
Dak was supposed to get married next month, no big
celebrity breakup, Tabloids having a field day with this as
(33:55):
his fiances Sarah Jane Ramos and Dak Prescott say x
nay on the wedding a and they broke it off
and there's all kinds of tabloid fodder here they had.
This was a dead giveaway. There was something not right.
They had joint bachelor and bachelorette parties in the Bahamas,
(34:16):
and then right after that.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Wonder what happened.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
What do you think took place at the joint bachelor
and bachelorette party in the Bahamas. We don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I'm guess that. I'm guessing that will come out in
the coming days.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
At the big call off at the last.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Minute, Dak Prescott his woman.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
He's got two kids with his woman, so she's gonna
be cutting her checks for a long time. But she
shared a cryptic Instagram post and just a couple days
before calling off the wedding talking about how they were like,
you know, as long as I have my friends, that's
all I need and all that. So you think Dak
(34:54):
did something or you think she did something, or both,
maybe they both did something. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I'm looking forward to seeing it when it hits the
tabloids in the in the coming days, We'll see what
that's all about. I'm sure they'll be all over that.
And I'm gonna go there. I think she probably did
something because Dak's the meal ticket, all right, Dak's got
all the money and all that, so you want to
I would think you would want to stay with Dak
as long as you could get that money. And so
(35:24):
maybe she had done something, but who knows.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
We'll see in the in the.

Been a couple of days ago President Trump held a
saving college Sports table at the White House.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yes, and he.
Speaker 9 (40:02):
Said that he's going to write an executive order within
a week that will quote solve all of the problems
brought forth at that meeting to save college sports. Ben
do you think what do you think is gonna come
with this?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Anything?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Nothing, he's not gonna fix college sports because there'll be
a bunch of lawsuits and they'll take it all the
way to the Supreme Court. And there's a lot of
people making a lot of money off college athletes because
they have nil deal. So it's gonna take.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
The Supreme Court to do something.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
And those those presidential things are nice, but it's not
going to solve the problem.
Speaker 9 (40:32):
Next, Nikola Jokicic was asked about potentially playing for another
team in an interview over the weekend. He said, I
wouldn't like to imagine that, and he went on to
say that he found his life here, his kids were
born here, so on and so forth. Do you think
he's the type of guy that's gonna stick with one
team his whole career.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Well, I'm surprised. I would be surprised if be as
a long career coup. He seems like the kind of guy.
He doesn't seem to really enjoy playing in the NBA.
He'd rather be sitting back home and with his horses
and all that and futzing around at the bar and
all that. But you know, you get me play long enough,
you're gonna eventually play on another team and There's very
few people to stay on one team, so chances are
he'll go somewhere else.
Speaker 9 (41:08):
Next Ben, the Colts traded Zaire Franklin to the Green
Bay Packers. He's only a couple of years removed from
an All Pro season. You think this is a big
move for the Packers.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I wouldn't say it's a big move. It's it's a
name we've heard of, which is rare on defense. How
do we do Kobolo put at the bar? I what

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
