Speaker 1 (00:00):
Knock, knock, who's there?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
That's our numb bertwo, our number two. As we divide
and rule here in hour number two, it's all about
a dispute in trademark court. Lamar Jackson, the multi time
MVP of the Ravens, filing opposition to Dale Earnhardt Juniors
(00:22):
registration of the number eight trademark, claim saying he's well
known by his number. How do you adjudicate the great
eight debate between Lamar and Earnhardt and former Steelers quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger thinks Aaron Rodgers secretly is still holding out
for Minnesota's Vikings, which is why he hasn't signed with
(00:42):
the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
How do you assess this one?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And coach Dan Campbell says of the Lions' new offensive
and defensive.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Coordinators will be fine.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
What's your perspective on Detroit with all the changes to
the coaching staff. Will go there as well and have
a time. As we foam at the mouth in our
number two, an NFL start taking on the good old boys?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
How's that gonna work out?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Welcome In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
We are in the air everywhere, just ordinary people who
are smoking and joking coast to coast, border the border
and beyond on the mast and Brashley powerful microphones of fsr.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
M mondating live from the box.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Deep inside the magic radio box. We're broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios tyract dot com. We'll help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installars. That's
almost as many miles as our friend Inca Terror has
(02:02):
traveled around and our buddy Salsa now Inca Terror's in Dallas.
That's where Salsa lives. Ty iraq dot com the way
tire bonding should be. We've not heard from Salsa in
a while. I hope he's all right. He's a buddy
of ours, he's traveled all over he works for the airlines,
and hope he's doing okay. So our lead this hour
is from the courtroom, a legal thriller. So we have
(02:24):
a judicial collision between a couple of sports icons and
it's a great story. We mentioned it last hour, but
maybe you were not listening. Perhaps you were doing something
and futson around or whatever you were had going on.
I don't know what you got. So We've learned recently
(02:45):
that Ravens quarterback and multi time Most Valuable Player winner
in the National Football League, Lamar Jackson, has taken legal
action to block NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt June and his
attempt to trademark the number eight. Yes, we have an
(03:06):
NFL quarterback and a NASCAR dude fighting over a number,
not a game.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Not a game. We in here talking about a number.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
So the paperwork was filed with the US Patent and
Trademark Office. I always go to that department for content
doing overnight talk radio, and I'll give you the thumbnail
on this. I'm not going to give you the whole thing.
There's a lot of legal ease anytime you involve lawyers,
there's a lot of full crap involved. But Lamar Jackson's
(03:38):
lawyers are arguing that Dale Earnhardt Junior's trademark application for
a stylized version of the number eight used on his
race cars conflicts with Lamar Jackson. There's a conflict of
interest on Lamar Jackson and his trademark rights. Now in
the court filing, Lamar Jackson and his lawyers contend that
(04:01):
he is widely associated with the number eight due to
his prominence in the NFL and the branding of his merchandise.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Now I know I'm not in the demo anymore. I'm
getting too old for that.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I haven't seen any number eight Lamar Jackson merch other
than the obvious stuff from the NFL.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I missing something.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Is everyone all the kids wearing number eight Lamar Jackson stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Anyway, Dale Earnhardt Junior's registration could false affly the imply
The implication is that the registration could falsely there's the
word falsely imply a connection between the two athletes there
and infringe on Lamar's established rights. And so that's what
(04:53):
the debate is about. And there's a lot of legal
words in here, and they're my favorite part is the
prospective purchasers are likely, according to lawsuit, are likely to
be mistakenly or mistakenly believe that the products that Dale
Earnhardt Jr. Is going to offer are related to the
(05:15):
products or services provided by Lamar Jackson. So let us
discuss the question. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson filing the opposition.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
In court to Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And the registration or the number eight trademark, claiming he's
well known by the number eight. How do you adjudicate
the Great eight debate? The Great eight debate.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
So my observation, I've got.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Crest, flower, power, and oracle, and we will combine.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
All of these things.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Together and we are going to make some deliberation because
we are going to deliberate right now now numb I said,
numb burn?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Can I get the numb burn?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We are the judge, we are the jury, and we
are the executioner of all great sports debate. And after
a seconds long Mallard deliberation, the jury has now reached
a verdict. The Mallord jury of one has ruled. We
have given the checkered flag to Dale Earnhardt Jr. And
(06:33):
as Daryl Waltrip, who used to be a regular guest
on Fox Sports Radio many years ago, back when he
was a NASCAR broadcaster at Fox, would say, bugge, bug bugging,
let's go racing. Yeah, now, this is very simple. I
call it a Crest deal. But I'm not talking about toothpaste.
(06:54):
I'm talking about the number eight, as in the Earnhardt
family crest that number.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And I'm not a NASCAR guy.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I covered NASCAR for a little bit when I did
the website back in the day, and I've been to
a few NASCAR races, but the numbers started with the grandfathers,
I understand it.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Dale Junior's grandfather, Ralph, was the original number.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Eight, and then his dad, who was the legend of legends,
used the number early in his career as well. So
using the malor math on this, Lamar was a toddler.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I think he was like.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Three years old when Dale Earnhardt Junior won a Cup
race with the number eight car, and Dale Earnhardt Senior.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Ran that number eight car.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Twenty years before Lamar Jackson was even a twinkle in
his parents' eyes. He wasn't even conceived yet, So I'm
pretty sure Lamar Jackson had nothing to do with the
actual court filing. I would find it hard to that
Lamar is looking through the trademark filings that people that
(08:05):
are on his payroll or his mom's payroll, and he's
out working out or playing video games, doing whatever he's doing,
and his team of advisors is leading him down the
garden path, Like does anyone think that, Like, you're buying
number eight merch and if you're buying something that is
a Dale Earnhardt junior product.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Let's say number eight.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I would I would think that would be the last
thing you think about, would be Lamar Jackson and vice versa.
And if you think that, then you're saying that Lamar
Jackson's fans are idiots and that they would not know
the difference between NASCAR or racing merch and football Lamar
Jackson merch. Like you're you're if you if that's your argument,
(08:52):
and if you want to make that, it's fine. I
mean you can make the argument, but you're you're saying
that you have knuckle dragging morons.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Who are the fans of Lamar.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Jacks and that they would not be able to tell
the difference because they're dumb dumbs.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I mean, what are you doing? All right?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Page two, Time for the obligatory Mallard monologue about America's
favorite unemployed quarterback.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
That would be Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
So former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has entered the chat.
Roethlisberger gave his take on why Aaron Rodgers has been
persona non grata and has not been signed, and Roethlisberger
says that Rogers, secretly he still has a crush if
(09:37):
you will. On the Vikings, he's holding out for Minnesota,
and that is why he hasn't signed with the Steelers.
From Aaron Rodgers. From Roethlisberger. On Rodgers, he said that
he's all not from Minnesota. That's why Rogers hasn't signed.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
With the Steelers. So how do you assess this one?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
So I'm gonna I'm gonna stretch, stretch out because it's
a giant stretch.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Okay, it's stretch.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Now, we do not see Minnesota as a realistic possibility.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
On the horizon, right Rogers.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I am going with the Andrea in Berkeley mantra that
Rogers is into astrology. He's buying into it. He's got
that flower power. He's waiting for mercury to go out
of retrograde, and that we are.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Five days away.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Five days away, April ninth is the date that Rogers
will announce that he's going to Pittsburgh. Now we get
past April ninth and Rogers hasn't announced it, and then
we can revisit this. But he's given that hippie vibe,
you know, peace, love, low carbs. He's a barefoot wanderer,
Aaron Rodgers, and he's trying to reject the football establishment
(10:47):
norms of signing right away and all that. But the
fact that he worked out with DK Metcalf not far
away from where we broadcast from over on the UCLA campus,
that is a dead baby that he took the he
came Metcalf out for a test drive to see how
it was throwing the football to him. I'd imagine somewhere
in Malibu, Rogers is sitting doing some yoga. He's got
(11:11):
a tight ie shirt on, he's got a glass of ayahuasca,
and he's got a peace pipe that he's smoking. That's
all going on, all going on at the same time,
all right now. Final point to Motown. We go Motown
and the winds of change are.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Blowing for the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Is they got mollywopped by the Washington formerly known as
Redskins football team in the playoffs last year.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
So coach Dan Campbell shockingly.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Has come out and said that the Lions, despite having
new coaches here, there and everywhere, the new offensive and
defensive coordinators, Dan Campbell said.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
We'll be fine. He said, will be.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Fine regarding the changes at offensive and defensive coordinator. So
what is your perspective on all the moving parts for
the Detroit football team. So my reaction to Dan Campbell,
I call him now the oracle of the obvious.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
He is the oracle of the obviously. Like, what else
are you supposed to say?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Like, oh, man, we can't win a game that we
do not have our offensive coordinator, we don't have our
defensive coordinator.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
We might as well just get in.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
The fetal position and start sucking our thumb, is what
we should do. Like what else? What else are you
gonna do? This is this is a welcome dilemma. And
then we got fans of the show that are in
Michigan or in Detroit specifically, who like the Lions, and
it's a favorable thing for you. It's a wonderful Mitch
(12:43):
fun the Rams. I'll give an exam when the Rams
under Sean McK for years, the Rams were a joke
when they were in Saint Louis, the last few years
there and the first few years in LA and then
they hired Sean McVay and ever since then it's been
a turnstile of coordinators and assistant coaches. And for years
the Detroit Lions never had to worry about this. They
never because they had coaches nobody wanted like for a
(13:06):
long time, like Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, who both
left to become head coaches in the NFL this offseason.
Do you realize it had been three generations since a
coordinator had.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Left the Lions to become a head coach. Think about
how long that is. John F. Kennedy was the president.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
It was sixty plus years ago the last time the
Lions lost a coordinator become a head coach.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Now, that worked out pretty well.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Guy named Don Shuloh went to the Baltimore Colts and
that turned out pretty good.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
But as for the messaging.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
If you will, the messaging from Dan Campbell, it's pretty simple, like, ultimately,
it's the man in the arena that matters most, and talent,
Trump's any kind of ex's and o's. And I learned
that lesson. I was reminded of it in New England
and I was on team Belichick, and I was like, well,
(14:05):
Belichick will figure it out.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
They'll have a few bumps on the road, but he'll stick.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Around and he's such a great coach that they'll figure
it out. And then he coached Mac Jones and that
was a disaster. And it didn't matter how great the
coaching was. If you have a stiff like Mac Jones,
the boat's gonna sink and turns out. Once Belichick was
coaching a crap cast role, it didn't matter. And then
(14:32):
Tom Brady left and it all fell apart. And there's
really nothing to quibble about. So long as the Lions
have halfway decent players, they're fine. A bigger concern is
the glitch in the Lions den, and that is Jared Goff.
And if you need him to make a play for you.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
You're done. And that's the gospel truth. You're just you're done.
It's not going to work out can get you to
a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
He got the rams of the super Bowl, but at
some point he's gonna have to step it up. And
it's it doesn't work. It just falls apart. It just
it's like a piece of wet, wet paper. It just
doesn't work. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we
were working away through the overnight, You'd like to be

Speaker 2 (16:25):

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Remember you're sick and dealing with.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The creeping crud. Well you just have classic insomnia.
Speaker 1 (16:41):

du loup at a Bronco fan. That's ah Bronco fan.
As we work our way through the over nine hours.
(17:04):
Coming up later this hour it will be Mallor to
the third degree. I know it's exciting, Try to stay calm.
That'll be coming up a little bit later in the hour,
but right now, let's get back to the talk, well,
and back to me Bill as I been.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And the Man in the middle.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Now, we started this hour ranting about the story involving
Lamar Jackson and his legal department going after Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And it's all about the number eight.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
They're worried about confusion between the fans of Lamar Jackson
and the fans of Dale Are and our junior, which
I'm guessing those worlds don't really cross very much, but
they're worried about that. Now we also have the man
in the middle. The man in the middle that would
be Geno Smith. We mentioned in a previous Mallard monologue
that Geno Smith was mediocre, that he is just merely
(18:05):
a temporary solution to a long term underlying condition. And
it turns out that we absolutely hit the bullseye in
that mallet model, Like, now, what is my supporting evidence
that we hit the bullseye? The Raiders did announce a
contract extension for Geno Smith that makes him the seventeenth
(18:27):
highest paid player.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
In the NFL.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And he's right in that Sam Donald area, ran that
Sam Donald area. So that's about where he should be.
He's average and he's not going to win anything, and
it's just merely a holding pattern. What a failure Tom
Brady has been. Now, I know the media loves Tom
Brady and they don't want to say anything bad about Brady,
(18:53):
but as an executive, this is Michael Jordan like bad
what Tom Brady has done with the Raiders. He has
gotten the coach he didn't want. He's gotten the quarterback
that he didn't want, Paul Fetic chipping the Ques rites
In says a Plus on the Mall monologue. Talking heads
(19:14):
like Ben Roethlisberger are overthinking the Rogers situation.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
The plain truth is that Rogers is simply washed up.
That's it. That's all. Who else do we have? Tom
writes since says is Lamar going to sue Alex Ovechkin?
Also over the number eight.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yes, although I guess in Russia you don't have to
worry about it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
They have different laws in Russia.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
So you're in You're in good shape now, Milkman Mike
says a surprising second hour Mallard monologue involving Nascar Dale
Junior in dumb Jackson. I have not followed NASCAR much
since my dad passed. Milkman Mike says, but from what
I've heard, Dale Junior is trademarking the eighth because of
(20:00):
Dale Senior and the widow.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
All right, well they're duking it out in court, duking
it out in court? What else do we have a
page down? I don't know if I want to read
that on the air. All right, let's take a call.

that's it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
When you're fourteen years old and you hear ten minutes

Speaker 1 (21:43):
My grandpa loves Nascar. Yeah, he's in the demo. Yeah. No, snoring.
I'm not hearing any story.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
When he's young, he probably doesn't snore yet.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, let's two bad because this guy Chip and Maine,
who's a prolific joke writer, one of the great joke
writers we have, he said he loves Charlie's calls, said
that Charlie is a breath of fresh air.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And he said we should nickname him chit Chat Charlie.
That's a cute nickname your name, right, chit Chat Charlie.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
But he's not here, so all right, well, thank you, Charlie.
Get some sleep, you have school.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
In the morning.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
I'm sure he'll be back Monday.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
You think he'll be back on Monday to hang out
with us and dazzle us with amazing random factors.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Let's go to real steal, Brian, the real Steal. What's
going on? Brian? Welcome?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Hello? Ben?
Speaker 7 (22:32):
It's been a while. How are you.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, where you've been You've been in hiding? What's going
on with you?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (22:37):
I've been up here, you know, hauling that steal in Ohio. Ben,
I'm in Cincinnati right now. I want to ask you
a question. You know, what the best thing to do
in Ohio is?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You know, what is the best thing it It's to leave.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
That's the best thing to do in Ohio is to leave.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
So you're saying you're not going to be at the
mallor meet and greet that we do in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I'm this summer. You're not going to show up there.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
No, I'll show up there if you do it.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, I will.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
I heard you and Loraina talking about macaroni and cheese,
so I wanted to comment on that. Have you ever
had a macaroni and cheese pizza?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I have not had a macaroni and cheese. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
They make a macaroni and cheese pizza and they put
bacon all over the top of it, and it's the
best thing you ever ate.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Ben, I did not have bacon on it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Did you enjoy the pizza?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Actually?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Disney and Goofy's Kitchen.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
So my question is, Ben, what do you think is
going to happen now to mister John Moran? Are they
going to is he going to be suspended the rest
of the season or I mean he's They played Detroit
next and I'm hoping that they suspend him before that
game because I'm a Piston fan.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
So of course, of course, Well, Here's here's what I
will will tell you.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I would have already suspended him for a game because
if what happened in the past, you understand Adam Silver,
half man, half alien.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Adam Silver, he is a mister softy.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
So the problem is a lot of NBA players end
up using the finger gun. So if you start punishing
guys for the finger gun, what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
There's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Clips of every other star player with the finger gun.
But to me, John Moran's different. I think you gotta
punish him now because he's That was just that was
just mocking the NBA and being like, you guys have
no balls.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You are absolutely ballless at the end of.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
The first quarter, even way to the second of the
first quarters, Like, hey.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I thought it was hilarious. I thought it was like,
you guys aren't gonna punish me? I double dog daria,
I double dog Dare you to punish me? Double dog dahia.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
I was laughing and I did too. I thought it
was the funniest thing I've ever seen. And to that,
to that spineless Silver, it was funny.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, all right, you're back on the Piston bandwagon now.
See they sucked for fifteen years, but now you're back.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
So, and then do you think one last question?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Uh, you said that, you said you had done. Now
you get another question.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
How dare you just a quick one? Do you think
the Pistons are going to do anything in the playoffs?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
The win at most around? That's it? How about that
at most around?
Speaker 7 (25:34):
I think they got a first round knockout in them.
I do, so, we'll we'll see.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
It's all about massive, all right, be saying there you go,
All right, there's a blast in the past. Every once
in a while, he calls in the real Steele Brian
who obviously lives in in Michigan, and then works his
way around.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All right, what usually goes to Ohio?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
He's got the same same route or root as he
works his way through and makes me.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
It makes Appsolute magic is what he does. It's absolute magic.

Speaker 2 (26:19):

Speaker 1 (26:23):
So this sounds to.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Me like a great Netflix docu series or someone else
should pick it up. But it involves Georgia man who
was able to swindle Dwight Howard and not just Dwight.
I mean there were others involved. Others involved, I think
I remember correctly, Chandler Parsons, former NBA players now like
(26:49):
everyone else, a podcaster as as well. But the guy
was going around and he was claiming that he was
selling a w NBA franchise for seven million dollars and
he got money from Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons and
(27:11):
a bunch of other people.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
They paid him.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
The guy was he claimed to be a businessman in
Georgia and he scammed a bunch of these dudes out
of a ton of money. And he was now he
was convicted. This the conviction was a while agoes back
in October federal court. It's a federal charge and it
(27:34):
was in Manhattan. Calvin Darden Jr. He cheated Dwight Howard.
Dwight Howard out of seven million in this plan to
buy the Atlanta Dream.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
What that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, I got a million dollars out of my out
of Chandler Parsons.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah, isn't that great. A well, it's not great that
he I mean, you shouldn't do that and all that
about a mean man.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
So the judge, the federal judge this came down yesterday
ordered this guy to forfeit eight million dollars. So we
still have the money as well as a bunch of
luxury items from.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
His ill gotten gains.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
His ill begotten gains there including a three point seven
million dollar Atlanta mansion. But dad, the guy was living
in a three point seven million dollars Atlanta mansion.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Had artwork where six hundred thousand dollars there was a Lamborghini,
a Rolls Royce this guy had.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
And he has been sentenced now to more than twelve
years in federal prison.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So he's he's going away for a while. I remember
the Feds, as you boys in prison have.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Let me know that when you get charged with the Feds,
you got to serve I think.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It's eighty five percent of your saying.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
So if you do the math on that, and he
got to serve eighty five percent that modulation, he's gone
for at least a day decade my math at no, yeah,
I know, so he's.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Fifty I think right now. So that means he'll be
out when he's like in his early sixties, he'll be he'll.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Be out of there. But yeah, how do you do that?
You don't actually own the team. And they have this
thing called the Internet where you can easily look up
who owns these teams. And you got seven million dollars
out of Dwight Howard and a million dollars out of
this other.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
It's insane.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
It reminds me a little bit, although it's this seems
more dramatic. There was a group, there was a documentary
you made about this too, a group trying to buy
the New York Islanders and they had no money.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
They were pretending like they had money.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
And these these cats got involved in the aristocrat circuit,
Long Island, Beverly Hills, South Beach where all the rich
West Palm Beach while the rich a holes hang out.
And once you got in that world, like people just
assumed you had the money.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
They said, well, you're in our world, so you must
have the money.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
And this guy almost got the New York Islanders and
then at the very last minute the thing went sideways.
But he was real close to getting the team, and
then they figured out he didn't have any money wild.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
This would be a good docu series, though, How do you.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Convince multiple NBA players to get millions and millions of
dollars saying you own a team that you don't actually own.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Let's say hello to the sleepy Lama. Who's next?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Hello, sleepy? Oh, he's got the Lama's gone to bed.
The lama said, I'm done. I've decided to go to bed.
I don't want to talk to you anymore. And where
he goes. But he's going to sleep.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
He's getting out of here. All right? Is the Ben
Maler Show. Have some time for Mallard of the third
Degree that'll be coming up here in a moment.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Ben, You to have an opher, you know, had your
offer and now you're ready to go.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Now you're ready to hit and that's good. You're ready
to go.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Uh timeed out for the instant tribuam and we go
to baseball, where Colorado's Antonio Senzateella has allowed I don't
even know who that is, but he's allowed nineteen hits
this season and no earn runs. That is the most
hits allowed by a pitcher in his first two outings
of a season without allowing an earn run since the
(31:40):
urn run became an official stat over one hundred years ago.
But Blank is the last pitcher to do that over
any two games span in professional baseball. So again, the
Rockies pitcher Antonio sends it. Tella has allowed nineteen hits
this season and no earn runs. That is the most
(32:02):
hits versus a picture in his first two addings of
a season without allowing an earn run since it became
an official stat back in nineteen thirteen. Blank is the
last picture to allow that many hits over a two
game span and no earn runs.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That is the insta trivia the answer. We'll get to it,
and we will do it next.

And then and then we will have Mallard of the
third degree. Here is the Insta trivia question of the hour.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Colorado's Antonio sends a tella. Has allowed nineteen hits so
far this season, but.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
No earned runs. That's wild.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
In fact, he's allowed the most hits by any picture
the first two outings in the season without a lot runs.
Since it became an official stat. Blank is the last
pitcher to do it over any two game span.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
That is the question. What is the answer? Let's see
does anyone that know the answer?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Derek and Buffalo says, please no more Nascar monologus.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I thought that was a Lamar Jackson monologue.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Scrooge is going with Tiger Woods is his answer. Sonny
Siebert from Charman Harmon.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Mario Soto guest by Alf the alien O Piner says
Miguel on fire, Malo's favorite Dodger pitcher Kevin Brown. Oh yeah,
I do like Kevin Malone is in that photo though
he was a friend of mine, old gem of the
Dodgers back.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Shannon and Moyne going with Timu Solani Winnipeg Jets legend,
Jamie Moyer.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
From Robbie the Mariner fan. Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Page Dan can't read that Rick honeycut from EG I
own Rick Honeycut as he knows.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I got to hit off him.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Mike the Leprechaw from Malor property. How did you find
that photo? That is a great photo of Mike the
Leprechaun back when he's playing baseball. Wow, Blake Snell, bro
I'm risking my live brawl from Andy and Lionel Lakes Lorena,
do you have an answer? It's not irritated Jerome guessed
by Perito.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
No, it is a fellow NASCAR driver Frankie Munios.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Oh, yes, but yeah, we're close.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Correct answer is Jamie Navarro of the Brewers back in nineteen.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Ninety three, Alreddy American League from the Waukee Brewers. Here
we are it's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 5 (36:37):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
This is one big Ben gets grilled cool, and.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
The Baltimore Ravens owner recently admitted that he knows they
have a window with Lamar Jackson and he wants to win. Now,
then how long do you think that window is open
for the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Well, it's actually not open because he sucks in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
So you know, Steve Vascatti or the owner of the
Ravens there, I mean, Lamar has not been as good
a player in the playoffs as he has been in
the regular season, and so you.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Say the windows open.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
They're a playoff team every year for the next three
or four years, but winning. He has not shown the
ability to step his game up in the playoffs he
does in the regular season without the players. Next reminds
me of Peyton Manning a little bit back in the next.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
We know an eighteen game season in the NFL is inevitable,
and we are now hearing reports that talks between the
league and the players union could start soon. Ben, what
do you when do you think the eighteen game season
makes its debut?
Speaker 1 (37:40):
So whenever the NFL needs more TV money, they'll just.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Add an eighteenth game and all the rates will go
up within the next five years.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
You know, I have a seasonal TV show based on
the NFL, so that means I'll get more work. So
I want him to start like in twenty twenty six
because that's more money in my pocket.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
So why not man eighteen games over twenty weeks, that's
the way to go.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
Next, he may have Doka has led the Rockets back
to the postseason for the first time in five years,
and the young up and coming team currently sits at
the number two seed. Then do you think they can
make any noise in the postseason?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Well, if they have like drums, they could bang on
the drums and make noise and things like that. Now
I'm not I would not invest a lot in the
Houston Rockets going on this amazing run.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
The conferences are all messed up, so who knows who
they're gonna play their number two?
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
They won't finish the second. I'm going no, how did
we do? He passes ci? That is a ring you
can come a on the board. I won the game.
I won, Lorrainer, I'm a winner. Good John Ben, Thank you, Loraine.
I appreciate that. By tires
