Speaker 1 (00:01):
We go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number two, our number two, talking Bay's ball,
the all time home run king, the steroid slugger Barry
Bond says it's best for sho Hao Tani to give
up pitching. Thumbs up or thumbs down on that being
a good idea. Also, how would you describe the sho
(00:22):
Heo Tani Dodgers traveling circus as they get ready to
open the season in Japan? And the proposed Major League
Baseball expansion team, the Nashville Stars showed off a logo
and their hat on the internet. They're not actually an
expansion team yet and they haven't been approved. What is
the word for this? We'll get to that and more
(00:45):
right now here. It is our number two. It is
all about the stocks and the bonds, or just the bonds.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Well gom.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
We are in the.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Air everywhere right next door, as we are connecting the
dots coast to coast, sport of the border and beyond
on the mast and blisteringly powerful microphones of fsre ammating
live from the central. We are Chatter Central over here.
(01:24):
We're broadcasting live at tiraq dot com. Studios tyraq dot com.
We'll help you get Darin unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in
stallars tyro raq dot com. The way tire buying should
be an okathy and Madison loves the number ten thousand.
(01:49):
She sent me an email she said, Ben, that's my
favorite number, the number ten thousand.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's just a quinkydink, but I love the number ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So our lead this hour is from baseball. We'll get
back to Aaron Rodgers. Watch our breathless around the clock
coverage of airon Rogers in the waiting game, which is
reminiscent if you remember a couple of years back when
Rogers was debating where he was going to play and
(02:17):
leaving the Green Bay Packers. There was a pretty lengthy
delay in that period of time. So it's not that unusual.
It's just that everyone seemed to indicate things we're going
to move along at an expedited fashion, and they did not.
And we're going back to Sunday. We're now into Thursday,
and Sunday night there there were people whispering, well, Rogers
(02:40):
is going to agree to a deal on Monday and
then it was well Tuesday, and then it's Wednesday, and
now here we are on Thursday and bupkus. But I
wanted to talk some baseball a big star. I have
not done a Mallard monologue, a full mall of monologue.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
About this guy in years. Why would I.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
He's not playing anymore, but a big league star from
Baseball pass.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He's still dishing out hot takes. You get a hot take,
you get a hot take, you get a hot take.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
We're talking about Barry Bonds, Balco Barry who recently.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Touched on several topics.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Now, if you didn't hear what he had to say,
maybe not on analytics.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Bond said, I believe I'll give a little taste of this.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Bond said, I believe Major League Baseball has already recognized
analytics works in some aspects of the game, Bond said,
but not in the core of the game. He said,
there's one aspect of analytics. It's not fun. He said,
to me, it's boring.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Bond said. He talked about Cooperstown.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
He was asked about being ostracized from the Hall of
Fame because he's the face of steroids. Other steroid guys
are in the Hall of Fame, but Bond's not allowed in.
He said, why not kill that bird and let it go?
Why do you want to keep beating the drum? Bonds lamented,
there's no need to keep beating that drum. Okay, Now,
(04:00):
Barry Bonds gave the money quote and that was about
the biggest star in baseball today, the Dwyers stars sho
Hee Otani. Barry Bonds said, Shoeotani should not pitch again.
He said, quote, if you're daching and doing what you're doing,
why fix something that ain't broken.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Bond said, there's a de thought.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
He said, pitching again, question Mark, that's a lot of concentration.
He might get hurt again. They're asking a lot, Bond said,
indicating that he did not support Otani returning to the
mound now. Bond's also said that if Otani does pitch,
he should come out of the bullpen, if he comes back,
(04:46):
if he pitches at all, and then people pointed out, well,
he can't.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Only do that because he'd be in the game.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You might have to bat. You can't be out in
the bullpen warming up. And Otani did not pitch for
the Dodgers last season. He was recovering from Tommy John surgery,
his second Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, and.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
He still picked up the MVP.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Was the American League MVP in Anaheim National League MVP
with the Doyers, but last year is a designated hitter,
first member of the fifty to fifty club fifty home runs,
fifty stolen bases in one season with fifty four and
fifty nine respectively. So let us discuss Barry Bond says
it's best for Showy Otani to give up pitching. Thumbs
(05:29):
up or thumbs down on Barry Bond saying it's best
for Otani to give up pitching.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
So I've got bubble wrap, Pilgrimage.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And yellow and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make some cracker jacks
and soft pretzels, is what we're going to make. So
number I said numb burn. So I'm gonna go thumbs
down on this. I'm going thumbs down on Barry Bond
(06:00):
saying that Otani should not pitch again. In fact, I
fundamentally disagree Bury the Bozo on this one.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Otani shouldn't pitch. The logic is because he could get hurt.
What in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Didn't he get hurt with the Angels and then went
out and hit fifty home runs while not being able
to pitch. So if he gets hurt, he'll just go
back to being a designated hitter. I don't see what
the problem is. They tell me you're a loser without
telling me you're a loser. And then Bonds he said, well,
I can be a relief fisher, and we was pointed
out that he can't. And but the whole he could
get hurt. Thing that that is one of my pet pees, right.
(06:42):
It sounds like Bonds is the prince of paranoia and
the crap we dealt with five years ago out of
an abundance of caution.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Just don't do anything.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Don't leave your homes, you know, hide in the corner
and suck your thumb and the fetal position.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You can't play scared now, you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And what are you gonna wrap Otani in bubble wrap
and put him in a box with foam peanuts because
he might get injured.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Otani could get hurt. Maybe his elbows snap.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
When he's brushing his teeth, he reaches for the mouth
wash and all of a sudden he feels a snap,
or his ankle could get sprayed walking to make a
cup of coffee in the morning, which so many people do,
or maybe that the scrambled eggs will will fall into
his lap and burn his groin and he won't.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Be able to play. Go on. If some butts were
candy and nuts, you'd get hurt every day.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Otani is a value added as a pitcher until provenoas now,
he's had two major operations on his arm, and the comps.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Are not great. If you look at the people that
have had multiple.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Tommy John ligament replacement operations, it does not go well.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Generally speaking. If you have two reconstructive surgeries, you're cooked.
It's over as far as pitching.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So we'll say, and it's conceivable that Otani is done
as a pitcher. That's why the Dodgers added eighteen starting pitchers,
because half of them will have Tommy John surgery by
the All Star break. Now page two, Major League Baseball's
regular season has what we call here in.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
The United States a soft launch, and this is going
to become the new normal. Back in the old days.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The baseball season would always start in Cincinnati. The first
professional sports.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Team, the parade.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It was a big deal. But over the years baseball
has a sold a sold games to countries around the world.
And the soft launch is early next week in Japan,
and it's great for us because the games will start
at six am Eastern. Our show ends at six am
Eastern three am in the West. And the Cubbies and
(08:50):
the Dodgers will be playing two real games in Tokyo.
So how would you describe the sho Heo Tani Dodgers
see an opening trip to Japan. So Dodgers have made
their way to Japan, they flew on Wednesday. Cubs are
there as well, So this is like a religious pilgrimage
(09:13):
to the mecca of baseball. From everything we're hearing, Joey Otani,
just imagine if you will, Otani is like Robin Hood
and the rest of the Dodgers are his band of
Mary Mett. Now, there are some other players from Japan
that are on the Dodgers and the Cubs, but from
what we are hearing, Otani is the baseball deity. He
(09:34):
is omnipresent. There is a sense of awe and mystery
in his mere presence in his native Japan, like some
kind of divine power from another world and Major League Baseball.
I gotta give him credit, right because there's like there's
a barnstorming tour and all that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
But they are laughing all the way to the bank.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
They're presenting this as an act of goodwill, a trip
of goodwill to give baseball.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
To the people of Japan.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Real they have baseball there, but there are roughly I
did some math on this, so there's roughly one hundred
and twenty five million men, women.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And children that live in Japan.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It is estimated that roughly thirty million of those Japanese
residents are hardcore baseball fans.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So if you do the math on that.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
From accounts at souvenir shops around Tokyo, the Otani two
hundred and fifteen dollars Jersey is selling out the standing
room only tickets for Cubs Dodgers next week in Tokyo
two thousand dollars for standing room a surge in new
balance sales because Otani's endorsed them.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
But wait, there's more. We're told that over one hundred
and fifty movie theaters will be streaming the Dodgers opening
series in Tokyo.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
On March eighteenth and March nineteenth, so five days away
from now, they'll have one hundred and fifteen movies. Can
they do this sometimes with concerts or they'll have some
big event here in the States where you go, all right,
you can go and check it out.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
But for a baseball game, just a regular season game.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Dodgers and Cubs, one hundred and fifty movie theaters, people
will be going.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I assume you're eating the popcorn there.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I don't know, maybe they're eating something else and then
hanging out watching the game.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
All right, now, last word? Last word?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
So I saw this going around if I died a
listener I think his name was Steve in the Greater
Nashville area who sent this and he was all excited.
It's the proposed Major League Baseball expansion team, the Nashville Stars,
which was the name of the old Triple A team there.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
They showed off a logo and a hat.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
On the Internet of what the whole thing would look
like if they did get the expansion team in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
So what is the word? What is the word for
these things being leaked on the internet.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
The hypothetical Nashville expansion team hat, the logo, So my
word is yellow My word is yellow as in yellow flag.
This is a false start penalty five yards and replay
the down, get the team, and then give out the
(12:25):
logo you're doing things out of order. Bad job by you.
You don't have the team. Everyone assumes you're gonna get
the team. There is a world, though, where the Tampa
Bay Rays leave Florida and end up going to Nashville,
and then you already have a name. I guess you
could change the name anyway. But the other thing about
this I'm saying about Nashville Stars, I don't approve. I
(12:46):
don't approve the mixplain. We already have a team called
the Stars. Now, maybe you're not a hockey fan, and
they should be the old It should be the North Stars,
which is what they were known as when they were
in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
But they moved years ago to Dallas and the Stars.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And you say, well, that's dumb and stupid and all that,
but that's what they're known as.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
They're known as the Stars.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
And I am now the commissioner of Overnight Sports Radio,
and in my.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
World, we do not share names.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
For example, I believe that the New York Giants or
the San Francisco Giants, they should flip a coin and
one of them should change their name. There should only
be one Giants team. We shouldn't have a Saint Louis
Cardinals and Arizona Cardinals. One of them should have to
change their name. We should not be sharing names in
twenty twenty five in different sports. I know why they
(13:36):
did it because the teams were in the same city
back in the day. It's stupid, right, and the star
nickname is dumb. Do something original. Think outside the box.
When I think in Nashville, I think of a hipster town.
I think of the Music City country music. How about
the Music City mashers that the original right music's would
(14:00):
that be? Imagine that home pinstriped uniform with Music City
across the chest plate and the road uniforms with Masher
be great. And if you don't want to offend anyone
because of violence with Masher, just put mashed potatoes on there.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Be wonderful. How about the Nashville banjo bashers.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
You put a banjo, have your logo a banjo right there,
celebrate country music and they have that there's that famous
I don't know famous, it's my friends from Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Uh wax poetic about it's like this goo goog cluster thing.
You can do something with that.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But there's there's other things that you can come up with,
other ideas that would be local in flavor, that would
be original.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Don't dude, if.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
You do get an expansion team, Nashville's Stars is stupid.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
It's dumb.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
The only way I would allow a stars nickname back,
and I don't support it, is if And I actually
told some people with the Clippers years ago to do
this and they didn't do it because they didn't listen
to me.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
But they should. I said, the Clipper should have changed
their name to the Hollywood Stars.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
That would have been outstanding. That would have been a
great name. Hollywood Star. That works, right Tinseltown and lie
like Dallas Stars doesn't really work.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
You don't think of a.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Star when you think of the Dallas hockey scene. Nashville Stars,
you already have the start. The only one that would
be acceptab would be the Hollywood Stars and the interlocking
and as logo for Nashville Stars is Dollsville is what
it is.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
It's dull. It just is. There's just no wow. Fact.
I need some wow fact.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
There's no wow. I need a wow there's no wow.

bit of the stock exchange and a wag war, a wag.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
War, and we'll get to that coming up in a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I did want to send my condolences to a player
that I covered in the NBA who died way too soon,
the big O Oliver Miller. If you're a basketball fan,
you remember part of some really fun teams at Arkansas.
It was like the forty Minutes of Hell or whatever
it was back in the day.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
And Oliver Miller played in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Was the round mound of basketball, a massive human being.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
And he did die only.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
His fifties, fifty four years old, retired NBA player, and
apparently he hit some obviously some medical problems and whatnot.
I don't know exactly exactly what did I mean, but
it's not important. But Oliver Miller rest in piece. There
kind of a fun, fun player to yap about on.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
The radio and to deal with.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
He played for the Suns and was a journeyman center
in the NBA. He was draft in the first round,
played for a bunch of different teams. He even played
with the Harlem Globetrotters. He played in Europe and Oliver Miller.
I wanted to share this story, and I'm not doing
this to Poke Fund and him. I think it's one
of the funniest stories I've ever heard. So when I
was covering the NBA regularly, I became friends with a
(19:37):
couple of European reporters from overseas. One of the guys
I was friends with was this this German reporter who
was eventually that's not the funny way, no, but the
German guy became an agent. So I don't know what
happened to him. He came, but he was a reporter
for a while and he would update me on some
of the players that would go overseas from the NBA
to play, and he told me one of the funny
(20:00):
stories about Oliver Miller.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
God loved him. So Oliver Miller went.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Over to Europe to play, and I think he was
like in Poland or something. I don't remember exactly where
he was, but he wasn't He was in a country
where he didn't like the food. So the team he
played for in Europe put him up at a hotel,
and so he lived at the hotel while he.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Was playing in Europe.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And my friend, the German reporter said, it was the
talk of European basketball because Oliver Miller, who was a
very large man hated the food so much where he
was staying, like the local delicacy at all the restaurants.
There was one restaurant in the hotel that served like cheeseburgers,
like American food, and he ate that. He ate at
that restaurant breakfast, lunch, and you know, as much as
(20:42):
he could dinner at games.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
It was like the funniest thing.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
They were like because he only liked what he liked
and he wouldn't eat anything else.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Exactly like his palette was, I want to eat American
food strips. Well, yeah, but I'll dabble with some other stuff,
but I love the Ben Maller chicken fingers.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Thank you. That's at the Landing.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Liberty, Missouri. We had a Malard meet and greet last
November there. It was a lot of fun, met some
great listeners of the show and had a fun time.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
So it was great to be in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Got to go to a Chiefs game by that Chiefs
Broncos game where the Chiefs won on a blocked field
goal and the final play of the game one of
the craziest games I've ever been to in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
So I was off anyway, rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oliver Miller, I thought that was obviously sad, way too
soon to check out for sure, for sure, all right,
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we are working
our way through the overnight and reading your amazing comments.
Only the best and the brightest take part in this
show and send witty comments.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
In at Ben mallor on X. That's at Ben Maller X.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Mister Luciano writes, since it is nine point four out
of ten on the mall of monologue, I agree with Bond,
so Tani should not pitch. If he does, he's going
to risk on getting an injury. By the way, Barry
Bonds is the best hitter of all time. And I
think mister Luciana's wearing his giants under rus right now
as he's sending that, and he's a massaging.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
He's massaging his Barry Bonds bobblehead from back in the
day or something else.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Barbecuing land rights in a retired caller of barbecuing land
at one point was the worst call in the show.
Now he just tides out on social media and we
love barbecuing land. He says, how about the Nashville pickin
or the Grinners the Nashville Grinners.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, okay, Joe the ghost Hunter.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Says, amazing Mallard monologue, this is why you should be
the commission of Major League Baseball, not.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Man fraud damn right.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, mister Irrigation says, the Dallas loan Stars.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It's simple like weed man, all right.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
He says, also Nashville rebels from mister Irrigation.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Is but he does say they should be the loan sir,
that would make sense. The Lone Stars.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I know, the North Stars, I brought that up, but
the Loan Stars would be would pretty pretty good. Mister
Irrigation in Houston also says, if show he wants to
stay in baseball, he must hire people that don't bet
on baseball and make him look like Pete Rose back
in the back in the day. All Right, it is
the ben Maushaw. We'll go back to the calls, and
who do we have here? Enye meenie, miney moe.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Let's say hello to Jed who fled? Hello, Jed who fled?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
As in as industy call of the year. You know,
I am somewhat intuscated some of the time, so I
should have mentioned this when you first mentioned it. Yourself
right after the benches. However, I just get carried away
by George straight you know. I mean, I'm not in
love with you, but I get carried white sometimes. All right,
I'm thinking a nightly, nightly predicted, embarrassingly predictable stick could
(23:42):
return me to my prestigious coke Caller of the year's status,
because I don't want to go to Steve McNair route
after he and Peyton Manning you had the Cove MVP
situations and so I got I gotta do something to
get back. So I'm thinking nightly narcotic speaks or something
like that, or I randomly called in like when's the
last time get Fred got sleep? Something like that maybe
pushes me over the edge. What do you think I mean?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
But yeah, we didn't want you to end up in
a gutter somewhere unless you're calling the show. And this
is a good idea, So we could do a not
I don't think we should do it every day, but
like once a week we could do a bit with
with Jed who fled, Like how many hours has Jed
slept this week?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
To think with the bit, that'd be a good.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, for those that don't know Jed who Fled had
a different name on the show. You found the show
when you were in jail, is that correct?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You were in the.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Back of the show found me the show, the.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Show found you.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But you were incarcerated when you found the show, and
you've continued to listen to the show all these years.
Even when you've been incarcerated, you still listen to the show.
So what what angle I think?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
How many hours do you slept?
Speaker 5 (24:48):
I'm rocked up by the incredible talent you possess to
your show, up to your shif.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
That's not corny at all.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
There's no cornball, nothing corny. I keep going, yeah, no, no,
so you don't sleeping in his long time?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I give up? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:06):
I can you talk over me? I tell my family, Well,
I'm as a comment. Don't react to that. Just keep
through it, push through it.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Don't act like I are you coaching me? Am? I
getting coached by Jed who Fled? Is that? Is that?
What's going on right now? You're coaching me?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
How dare you right that that bar play on it? Right?
But you got the job?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Good job? Wow?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
No, grab ass, you're not playing grab We're not playing
grab ass.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
We're not we're no, no grab ass.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
No dude, No, I was coaching. Clearly, you don't let
the handstick on the kids buttalks for more than a
point two seconds, or you got problems. You got big
time problems with parents. But an encouraging slamp is actually
probably getting a old of the question with today. So
I said, do you thank god I got resk for drugs?
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Probably?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
That was a better all.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Midcake sister's rookie.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
All right, thank you, Jed.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I'm going to hang up on you, and we accomplished nothing.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Should we guess what he's on? Well, he's in Florida,
he's up all night. There's only a certain kind.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Of narcotics that keep you up all night, right, there's
not some stuff wears you out and you got to
go to bed, But there's some stuff that you can
can snort or inject that will keep you up all night.
It's probably one of those two things, right, Am I wrong?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
As you're probably right?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Then yeah, And he's hinted over the years at what
he's what he's into, what his drug of choice is
and all that. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show,
So the stock exchange, if you will, How about this
if you're an old time NFL fan. Back in forty
years ago, the New York Jets had a defense. They
(26:38):
actually had a competitive team occasionally, and they defense that
they nicknamed the Stock or actually it was the Sack Exchange,
but play on the Stock Exchange. And one of those players,
one of the two players that were part of that,
was Mark Gastineau. And Mark Gastineau is not very happy.
He's upset. He feels like he was attacked in a
(27:01):
documentary that was made.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
It was a year or two ago.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I think it might have been a year ago, and
it was one of these thirty for thirty documentaries. It
was called the New York Sack Exchange, and the defensive player,
Mark Gastineau blindsided Brett Farve, accusing him of helping Michael
Strahan break his single season sack record, which most people
think did happen. That there was a dive by Brett Farv,
(27:28):
so Gastineau appeared. If you didn't see the clip, he
appeared disheveled during a confrontation which took place at a
sports member of Billia show, and he told Brett Favre
over and over and over.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Again, you're hurting me.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Right, you're hurting me, and now he has a price
to make himself feel better. Mark Gastineau is suing the
entertainment and sports network, that small cable champ out of Bristol, Connecticut,
the Wokesters, for over twenty five million dollars for putting
that moment in the film. Yeah, this actually goes back
(28:13):
several years. This is not just like a year or
so ago. This goes back several years. And Brett Favre
in response to that, he posted a message on x
and explain what happened, and.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
He was very kind to Mark Gastineau.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
But Gasono is so upset that he's claiming in his
lawsuit this is on TMZ, that the entertainment and sports
network the Wokesters, intentionally and maliciously did not publish him
and Brett shaking hands. Because of that, he claims he
has been attacked on social.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Media with ridicule, scorn, and contempt. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Now, I'm not a lawyer. I can play one on
the radio, and I'm going to say this as zero
chance of winning, that this has zero chance of winning.
Gastino also claiming that he was supposed to have final
edit over.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Scenes such as the one he was with.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
With Farbre and that he never gave them permission to
record the scene in the first place. So it'll be
decided by the lawyers, as it often is, right, but
someone will go through the legalise and see if there's
any fine print that Mark Gastineau did not properly read
that he docu signed.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
And I have signed some of those contracts.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I've been fortunate enough to be in some documentary stuff
over the years, and you sign.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
A lot of stuff, and a lot of it it's.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Just boilerplate legal crap that is standard that protects the
company that is paying you to do the documentary. So
I would be stunned if there's any chance that that
goes more than a couple of couple of weeks once
the judge looks at it and reads it over and
kicks it out and says that's it. But you know,
(30:05):
maybe somebody fed up and didn't put the right legal
language in there. But outside of that, the that's the
only way that has a shot, the only way, trust me. Anyway,
It is the Ben Mahler Show. We were hanging out
with you all night long. Get to the wag War,
the wag War coming up in a minute. Let'say hello
(30:25):
to Tony in the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, Welcome, Hey Ben.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Earlier you were talking about teams with the same name
Danford Broncos gets your own fucking colors.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Man.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Such a colorful character, Ben, I'm.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
A big fan. He helps you know what he does.
Tony in the Bay Area is all about the pod.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
He wants us to be number one.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I actually got an email that I don't know, maybe
I'll talk about this weekend on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I got to examine the more.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
So I get an email from some someplace I'd never
heard of that rates podcasts, and they claimed that our show,
our podcast, out of a million podcasts, is in the
top one hundred, which I find hard to believe. I
think that must be wrong, but that's what they clear.
(31:22):
They claim that it's one of these companies that rates
podcasts like sports.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Very hefty claim, Ben, I know, right, I need to
examine that more.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
But they send me. They sent me a.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Link that they say they rank the various podcasts by
genre and makes it. I mean, there are a million podcasts,
but most of them no one listens to, right, and
a lot of them are unlistenable because they're like jocks,
and who wants to hear that crap?
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I mean, that's got to mean just horrible anyway, So
there you go.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
He's Tony's. You gotta download the podcast to hear what
Tony said. And Tony's very protective of his Chicago bears.
Let's go to a man who promised us the show
would be good. I thought he wasn't going to call,
but here he is.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Oh no, no.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
The timber Puffs must have won. That's why he's calling.
If they had lost, he wouldn't call. He would have
hidden out in the breakroom meeting his turkey sandwich.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Let's say hello to a man that was in the
running for the.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Worst caller on the show, Gunner from Northern Minnesota.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
I'm a good sports federal. Okay, I went a lot
on that.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
You sure about that?
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Tell you?
Speaker 6 (33:17):
I'm not lying?
Speaker 3 (33:19):
How much?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
How much you make? Do you have to pay taxes
on your winnings? Are you you got an illegal bookie?
Speaker 3 (33:25):
What do you got? No?
Speaker 6 (33:27):
I don't pay that.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
No, So you have a bookie, if you have if

In the break room at Walmart?

No, it's lots of manto.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
I've never had any had mac and cheese pezazas Loraina,

couldn't be. It's it's cheese on pizza. It's cards on

Speaker 2 (35:04):
You can actually feel your you can feel your guts
stuffing up, Gunner.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
You're eating that right with all the cheese. You can
feel your inside stuffing up?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, no, you can feel something.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
All right, all right, Gunner, go go look at your
Minnesota Timberwolves Pendent.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
All right, good believe Bliger.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
McFarlane took to X on Tuesday to say that he
helps Tiger Woods retires after this latest injury of his
and he implored Tiger to enjoy your kids. Ben, do
you think Tiger hangs it up?
Speaker 2 (38:09):
But most people that golf enjoy their kids. I mean,
golf something you do when you retire. So how do
you retire from golf? I don't I mean you can.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Couldn't he drive around on a golf cart? I don't know.
Why would you retire from golf?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I know he'll never win anything again, but no, all
these people all you should retire. He sucked at golf
for how many years?
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Who cares? People love Tiger, He's a legend. He wants
to keep playing. Let him show up and play next.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Rit Patino is about to lead his sixth program to
the NZ.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Double A Tournament. What did I say? Just handheld? All right?
All right, that's happened.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, He's about to lead his sixth program to the
NCAA Tournament more than any coach in history. Ben, do
you think it's time we start talking about Patino as
the best coach in the history of college basketball?
Speaker 2 (38:54):
No, he's He's in that upper class of coaches because
he's done it everywhere. And hey, Patino's like the last
of the Mohegans in terms.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Of the bigger than life college basketball coach.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
There's hardly any of these guys left when he leaves,
like the next generation. No, he's not the greatest of
all time, but he's in the discussion of the top
ten fifteen all time coaches.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Next.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Ben, an NBA senior writer, said on Tuesday, we're witnessing
one of the great MVP races in modern history between
Jokic and SGA.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
Do you agree? No, I don't. There's no buzz nationally.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Maybe in Denver and Oklahoma City, but no, I'd say
Magic and Bird back in the day a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
How did we do you pass this edition? That is
a win?
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Your microphone did not pass though, too, unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Get him a new microphone right now. Wake up the
engineering department
We go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number two, our number two, talking Bay's ball,
the all time home run king, the steroid slugger Barry
Bond says it's best for sho Hao Tani to give
up pitching. Thumbs up or thumbs down on that being
a good idea. Also, how would you describe the sho
(00:22):
Heo Tani Dodgers traveling circus as they get ready to
open the season in Japan? And the proposed Major League
Baseball expansion team, the Nashville Stars showed off a logo
and their hat on the internet. They're not actually an
expansion team yet and they haven't been approved. What is
the word for this? We'll get to that and more
(00:45):
right now here. It is our number two. It is
all about the stocks and the bonds, or just the bonds.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Well gom.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
We are in the.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Air everywhere right next door, as we are connecting the
dots coast to coast, sport of the border and beyond
on the mast and blisteringly powerful microphones of fsre ammating
live from the central. We are Chatter Central over here.
(01:24):
We're broadcasting live at tiraq dot com. Studios tyraq dot com.
We'll help you get Darin unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,

be an okathy and Madison loves the number ten thousand.
(01:49):
She sent me an email she said, Ben, that's my
favorite number, the number ten thousand.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's just a quinkydink, but I love the number ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So our lead this hour is from baseball. We'll get
back to Aaron Rodgers. Watch our breathless around the clock
coverage of airon Rogers in the waiting game, which is
reminiscent if you remember a couple of years back when
Rogers was debating where he was going to play and
(02:17):
leaving the Green Bay Packers. There was a pretty lengthy
delay in that period of time. So it's not that unusual.
It's just that everyone seemed to indicate things we're going
to move along at an expedited fashion, and they did not.
And we're going back to Sunday. We're now into Thursday,
and Sunday night there there were people whispering, well, Rogers
(02:40):
is going to agree to a deal on Monday and
then it was well Tuesday, and then it's Wednesday, and
now here we are on Thursday and bupkus. But I
wanted to talk some baseball a big star. I have
not done a Mallard monologue, a full mall of monologue.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
About this guy in years. Why would I.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
He's not playing anymore, but a big league star from
Baseball pass.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He's still dishing out hot takes. You get a hot take,
you get a hot take, you get a hot take.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
We're talking about Barry Bonds, Balco Barry who recently.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Touched on several topics.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Now, if you didn't hear what he had to say,
maybe not on analytics.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Bond said, I believe I'll give a little taste of this.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Bond said, I believe Major League Baseball has already recognized
analytics works in some aspects of the game, Bond said,
but not in the core of the game. He said,
there's one aspect of analytics. It's not fun. He said,
to me, it's boring.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Bond said. He talked about Cooperstown.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
He was asked about being ostracized from the Hall of
Fame because he's the face of steroids. Other steroid guys
are in the Hall of Fame, but Bond's not allowed in.
He said, why not kill that bird and let it go?
Why do you want to keep beating the drum? Bonds lamented,
there's no need to keep beating that drum. Okay, Now,
(04:00):
Barry Bonds gave the money quote and that was about
the biggest star in baseball today, the Dwyers stars sho
Hee Otani. Barry Bonds said, Shoeotani should not pitch again.
He said, quote, if you're daching and doing what you're doing,
why fix something that ain't broken.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Bond said, there's a de thought.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
He said, pitching again, question Mark, that's a lot of concentration.
He might get hurt again. They're asking a lot, Bond said,
indicating that he did not support Otani returning to the
mound now. Bond's also said that if Otani does pitch,
he should come out of the bullpen, if he comes back,
(04:46):
if he pitches at all, and then people pointed out, well,
he can't.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Only do that because he'd be in the game.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You might have to bat. You can't be out in
the bullpen warming up. And Otani did not pitch for
the Dodgers last season. He was recovering from Tommy John surgery,
his second Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, and.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
He still picked up the MVP.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Was the American League MVP in Anaheim National League MVP
with the Doyers, but last year is a designated hitter,
first member of the fifty to fifty club fifty home runs,
fifty stolen bases in one season with fifty four and
fifty nine respectively. So let us discuss Barry Bond says
it's best for Showy Otani to give up pitching. Thumbs
(05:29):
up or thumbs down on Barry Bond saying it's best
for Otani to give up pitching.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
So I've got bubble wrap, Pilgrimage.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And yellow and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make some cracker jacks
and soft pretzels, is what we're going to make. So
number I said numb burn. So I'm gonna go thumbs
down on this. I'm going thumbs down on Barry Bond
(06:00):
saying that Otani should not pitch again. In fact, I
fundamentally disagree Bury the Bozo on this one.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Otani shouldn't pitch. The logic is because he could get hurt.
What in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Didn't he get hurt with the Angels and then went
out and hit fifty home runs while not being able
to pitch. So if he gets hurt, he'll just go
back to being a designated hitter. I don't see what
the problem is. They tell me you're a loser without
telling me you're a loser. And then Bonds he said, well,
I can be a relief fisher, and we was pointed
out that he can't. And but the whole he could
get hurt. Thing that that is one of my pet pees, right.
(06:42):
It sounds like Bonds is the prince of paranoia and
the crap we dealt with five years ago out of
an abundance of caution.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Just don't do anything.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Don't leave your homes, you know, hide in the corner
and suck your thumb and the fetal position.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You can't play scared now, you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And what are you gonna wrap Otani in bubble wrap
and put him in a box with foam peanuts because
he might get injured.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Otani could get hurt. Maybe his elbows snap.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
When he's brushing his teeth, he reaches for the mouth
wash and all of a sudden he feels a snap,
or his ankle could get sprayed walking to make a
cup of coffee in the morning, which so many people do,
or maybe that the scrambled eggs will will fall into
his lap and burn his groin and he won't.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Be able to play. Go on. If some butts were
candy and nuts, you'd get hurt every day.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Otani is a value added as a pitcher until provenoas now,
he's had two major operations on his arm, and the comps.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Are not great. If you look at the people that
have had multiple.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Tommy John ligament replacement operations, it does not go well.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Generally speaking. If you have two reconstructive surgeries, you're cooked.
It's over as far as pitching.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
So we'll say, and it's conceivable that Otani is done
as a pitcher. That's why the Dodgers added eighteen starting pitchers,
because half of them will have Tommy John surgery by
the All Star break. Now page two, Major League Baseball's
regular season has what we call here in.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
The United States a soft launch, and this is going
to become the new normal. Back in the old days.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The baseball season would always start in Cincinnati. The first
professional sports.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Team, the parade.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It was a big deal. But over the years baseball
has a sold a sold games to countries around the world.
And the soft launch is early next week in Japan,
and it's great for us because the games will start
at six am Eastern. Our show ends at six am
Eastern three am in the West. And the Cubbies and
(08:50):
the Dodgers will be playing two real games in Tokyo.
So how would you describe the sho Heo Tani Dodgers
see an opening trip to Japan. So Dodgers have made
their way to Japan, they flew on Wednesday. Cubs are
there as well, So this is like a religious pilgrimage
(09:13):
to the mecca of baseball. From everything we're hearing, Joey Otani,
just imagine if you will, Otani is like Robin Hood
and the rest of the Dodgers are his band of
Mary Mett. Now, there are some other players from Japan
that are on the Dodgers and the Cubs, but from
what we are hearing, Otani is the baseball deity. He
(09:34):
is omnipresent. There is a sense of awe and mystery
in his mere presence in his native Japan, like some
kind of divine power from another world and Major League Baseball.
I gotta give him credit, right because there's like there's
a barnstorming tour and all that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
But they are laughing all the way to the bank.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
They're presenting this as an act of goodwill, a trip
of goodwill to give baseball.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
To the people of Japan.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Real they have baseball there, but there are roughly I
did some math on this, so there's roughly one hundred
and twenty five million men, women.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And children that live in Japan.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It is estimated that roughly thirty million of those Japanese
residents are hardcore baseball fans.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So if you do the math on that.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
From accounts at souvenir shops around Tokyo, the Otani two
hundred and fifteen dollars Jersey is selling out the standing
room only tickets for Cubs Dodgers next week in Tokyo
two thousand dollars for standing room a surge in new
balance sales because Otani's endorsed them.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
But wait, there's more. We're told that over one hundred
and fifty movie theaters will be streaming the Dodgers opening
series in Tokyo.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
On March eighteenth and March nineteenth, so five days away
from now, they'll have one hundred and fifteen movies. Can
they do this sometimes with concerts or they'll have some
big event here in the States where you go, all right,
you can go and check it out.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
But for a baseball game, just a regular season game.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Dodgers and Cubs, one hundred and fifty movie theaters, people
will be going.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I assume you're eating the popcorn there.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I don't know, maybe they're eating something else and then
hanging out watching the game.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
All right, now, last word? Last word?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
So I saw this going around if I died a
listener I think his name was Steve in the Greater
Nashville area who sent this and he was all excited.
It's the proposed Major League Baseball expansion team, the Nashville Stars,
which was the name of the old Triple A team there.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
They showed off a logo and a hat.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
On the Internet of what the whole thing would look
like if they did get the expansion team in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
So what is the word? What is the word for
these things being leaked on the internet.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
The hypothetical Nashville expansion team hat, the logo, So my
word is yellow My word is yellow as in yellow flag.
This is a false start penalty five yards and replay
the down, get the team, and then give out the
(12:25):
logo you're doing things out of order. Bad job by you.
You don't have the team. Everyone assumes you're gonna get
the team. There is a world, though, where the Tampa
Bay Rays leave Florida and end up going to Nashville,
and then you already have a name. I guess you
could change the name anyway. But the other thing about
this I'm saying about Nashville Stars, I don't approve. I
(12:46):
don't approve the mixplain. We already have a team called
the Stars. Now, maybe you're not a hockey fan, and
they should be the old It should be the North Stars,
which is what they were known as when they were
in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
But they moved years ago to Dallas and the Stars.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And you say, well, that's dumb and stupid and all that,
but that's what they're known as.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
They're known as the Stars.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
And I am now the commissioner of Overnight Sports Radio,
and in my.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
World, we do not share names.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
For example, I believe that the New York Giants or
the San Francisco Giants, they should flip a coin and
one of them should change their name. There should only
be one Giants team. We shouldn't have a Saint Louis
Cardinals and Arizona Cardinals. One of them should have to
change their name. We should not be sharing names in
twenty twenty five in different sports. I know why they
(13:36):
did it because the teams were in the same city
back in the day. It's stupid, right, and the star
nickname is dumb. Do something original. Think outside the box.
When I think in Nashville, I think of a hipster town.
I think of the Music City country music. How about
the Music City mashers that the original right music's would
(14:00):
that be? Imagine that home pinstriped uniform with Music City
across the chest plate and the road uniforms with Masher
be great. And if you don't want to offend anyone
because of violence with Masher, just put mashed potatoes on there.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Be wonderful. How about the Nashville banjo bashers.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
You put a banjo, have your logo a banjo right there,
celebrate country music and they have that there's that famous
I don't know famous, it's my friends from Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Uh wax poetic about it's like this goo goog cluster thing.
You can do something with that.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But there's there's other things that you can come up with,
other ideas that would be local in flavor, that would
be original.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Don't dude, if.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
You do get an expansion team, Nashville's Stars is stupid.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
It's dumb.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
The only way I would allow a stars nickname back,
and I don't support it, is if And I actually
told some people with the Clippers years ago to do
this and they didn't do it because they didn't listen
to me.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
But they should. I said, the Clipper should have changed
their name to the Hollywood Stars.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
That would have been outstanding. That would have been a
great name. Hollywood Star. That works, right Tinseltown and lie
like Dallas Stars doesn't really work.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
You don't think of a.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Star when you think of the Dallas hockey scene. Nashville Stars,
you already have the start. The only one that would
be acceptab would be the Hollywood Stars and the interlocking
and as logo for Nashville Stars is Dollsville is what
it is.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
It's dull. It just is. There's just no wow. Fact.
I need some wow fact.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
There's no wow. I need a wow there's no wow.

bit of the stock exchange and a wag war, a wag.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
War, and we'll get to that coming up in a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I did want to send my condolences to a player
that I covered in the NBA who died way too soon,
the big O Oliver Miller. If you're a basketball fan,
you remember part of some really fun teams at Arkansas.
It was like the forty Minutes of Hell or whatever
it was back in the day.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
And Oliver Miller played in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Was the round mound of basketball, a massive human being.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
And he did die only.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
His fifties, fifty four years old, retired NBA player, and
apparently he hit some obviously some medical problems and whatnot.
I don't know exactly exactly what did I mean, but
it's not important. But Oliver Miller rest in piece. There
kind of a fun, fun player to yap about on.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
The radio and to deal with.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
He played for the Suns and was a journeyman center
in the NBA. He was draft in the first round,
played for a bunch of different teams. He even played
with the Harlem Globetrotters. He played in Europe and Oliver Miller.
I wanted to share this story, and I'm not doing
this to Poke Fund and him. I think it's one
of the funniest stories I've ever heard. So when I
was covering the NBA regularly, I became friends with a
(19:37):
couple of European reporters from overseas. One of the guys
I was friends with was this this German reporter who
was eventually that's not the funny way, no, but the
German guy became an agent. So I don't know what
happened to him. He came, but he was a reporter
for a while and he would update me on some
of the players that would go overseas from the NBA
to play, and he told me one of the funny
(20:00):
stories about Oliver Miller.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
God loved him. So Oliver Miller went.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Over to Europe to play, and I think he was
like in Poland or something. I don't remember exactly where
he was, but he wasn't He was in a country
where he didn't like the food. So the team he
played for in Europe put him up at a hotel,
and so he lived at the hotel while he.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Was playing in Europe.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And my friend, the German reporter said, it was the
talk of European basketball because Oliver Miller, who was a
very large man hated the food so much where he
was staying, like the local delicacy at all the restaurants.
There was one restaurant in the hotel that served like cheeseburgers,
like American food, and he ate that. He ate at
that restaurant breakfast, lunch, and you know, as much as
(20:42):
he could dinner at games.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
It was like the funniest thing.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
They were like because he only liked what he liked
and he wouldn't eat anything else.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Exactly like his palette was, I want to eat American
food strips. Well, yeah, but I'll dabble with some other stuff,
but I love the Ben Maller chicken fingers.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Thank you. That's at the Landing.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Liberty, Missouri. We had a Malard meet and greet last
November there. It was a lot of fun, met some
great listeners of the show and had a fun time.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
So it was great to be in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Got to go to a Chiefs game by that Chiefs
Broncos game where the Chiefs won on a blocked field
goal and the final play of the game one of
the craziest games I've ever been to in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
So I was off anyway, rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oliver Miller, I thought that was obviously sad, way too
soon to check out for sure, for sure, all right,
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we are working
our way through the overnight and reading your amazing comments.
Only the best and the brightest take part in this
show and send witty comments.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
In at Ben mallor on X. That's at Ben Maller X.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Mister Luciano writes, since it is nine point four out
of ten on the mall of monologue, I agree with Bond,
so Tani should not pitch. If he does, he's going
to risk on getting an injury. By the way, Barry
Bonds is the best hitter of all time. And I
think mister Luciana's wearing his giants under rus right now
as he's sending that, and he's a massaging.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
He's massaging his Barry Bonds bobblehead from back in the
day or something else.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Barbecuing land rights in a retired caller of barbecuing land
at one point was the worst call in the show.
Now he just tides out on social media and we
love barbecuing land. He says, how about the Nashville pickin
or the Grinners the Nashville Grinners.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, okay, Joe the ghost Hunter.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Says, amazing Mallard monologue, this is why you should be
the commission of Major League Baseball, not.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Man fraud damn right.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, mister Irrigation says, the Dallas loan Stars.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It's simple like weed man, all right.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
He says, also Nashville rebels from mister Irrigation.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Is but he does say they should be the loan sir,
that would make sense. The Lone Stars.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I know, the North Stars, I brought that up, but
the Loan Stars would be would pretty pretty good. Mister
Irrigation in Houston also says, if show he wants to
stay in baseball, he must hire people that don't bet
on baseball and make him look like Pete Rose back
in the back in the day. All Right, it is
the ben Maushaw. We'll go back to the calls, and
who do we have here? Enye meenie, miney moe.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Let's say hello to Jed who fled? Hello, Jed who fled?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
As in as industy call of the year. You know,
I am somewhat intuscated some of the time, so I
should have mentioned this when you first mentioned it. Yourself
right after the benches. However, I just get carried away
by George straight you know. I mean, I'm not in
love with you, but I get carried white sometimes. All right,
I'm thinking a nightly, nightly predicted, embarrassingly predictable stick could
(23:42):
return me to my prestigious coke Caller of the year's status,
because I don't want to go to Steve McNair route
after he and Peyton Manning you had the Cove MVP
situations and so I got I gotta do something to
get back. So I'm thinking nightly narcotic speaks or something
like that, or I randomly called in like when's the
last time get Fred got sleep? Something like that maybe
pushes me over the edge. What do you think I mean?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
But yeah, we didn't want you to end up in
a gutter somewhere unless you're calling the show. And this
is a good idea, So we could do a not
I don't think we should do it every day, but
like once a week we could do a bit with
with Jed who fled, Like how many hours has Jed
slept this week?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
To think with the bit, that'd be a good.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, for those that don't know Jed who Fled had
a different name on the show. You found the show
when you were in jail, is that correct?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You were in the.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Back of the show found me the show, the.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Show found you.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But you were incarcerated when you found the show, and
you've continued to listen to the show all these years.
Even when you've been incarcerated, you still listen to the show.
So what what angle I think?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
How many hours do you slept?
Speaker 5 (24:48):
I'm rocked up by the incredible talent you possess to
your show, up to your shif.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
That's not corny at all.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
There's no cornball, nothing corny. I keep going, yeah, no, no,
so you don't sleeping in his long time?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I give up? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:06):
I can you talk over me? I tell my family, Well,
I'm as a comment. Don't react to that. Just keep
through it, push through it.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Don't act like I are you coaching me? Am? I
getting coached by Jed who Fled? Is that? Is that?
What's going on right now? You're coaching me?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
How dare you right that that bar play on it? Right?
But you got the job?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Good job? Wow?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
No, grab ass, you're not playing grab We're not playing
grab ass.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
We're not we're no, no grab ass.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
No dude, No, I was coaching. Clearly, you don't let
the handstick on the kids buttalks for more than a
point two seconds, or you got problems. You got big
time problems with parents. But an encouraging slamp is actually
probably getting a old of the question with today. So
I said, do you thank god I got resk for drugs?
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Probably?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
That was a better all.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Midcake sister's rookie.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
All right, thank you, Jed.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I'm going to hang up on you, and we accomplished nothing.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Should we guess what he's on? Well, he's in Florida,
he's up all night. There's only a certain kind.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Of narcotics that keep you up all night, right, there's
not some stuff wears you out and you got to
go to bed, But there's some stuff that you can
can snort or inject that will keep you up all night.
It's probably one of those two things, right, Am I wrong?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
As you're probably right?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Then yeah, And he's hinted over the years at what
he's what he's into, what his drug of choice is
and all that. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show,
So the stock exchange, if you will, How about this
if you're an old time NFL fan. Back in forty
years ago, the New York Jets had a defense. They
(26:38):
actually had a competitive team occasionally, and they defense that
they nicknamed the Stock or actually it was the Sack Exchange,
but play on the Stock Exchange. And one of those players,
one of the two players that were part of that,
was Mark Gastineau. And Mark Gastineau is not very happy.
He's upset. He feels like he was attacked in a
(27:01):
documentary that was made.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
It was a year or two ago.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I think it might have been a year ago, and
it was one of these thirty for thirty documentaries. It
was called the New York Sack Exchange, and the defensive player,
Mark Gastineau blindsided Brett Farve, accusing him of helping Michael
Strahan break his single season sack record, which most people
think did happen. That there was a dive by Brett Farv,
(27:28):
so Gastineau appeared. If you didn't see the clip, he
appeared disheveled during a confrontation which took place at a
sports member of Billia show, and he told Brett Favre
over and over and over.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Again, you're hurting me.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Right, you're hurting me, and now he has a price
to make himself feel better. Mark Gastineau is suing the
entertainment and sports network, that small cable champ out of Bristol, Connecticut,
the Wokesters, for over twenty five million dollars for putting
that moment in the film. Yeah, this actually goes back
(28:13):
several years. This is not just like a year or
so ago. This goes back several years. And Brett Favre
in response to that, he posted a message on x
and explain what happened, and.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
He was very kind to Mark Gastineau.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
But Gasono is so upset that he's claiming in his
lawsuit this is on TMZ, that the entertainment and sports
network the Wokesters, intentionally and maliciously did not publish him
and Brett shaking hands. Because of that, he claims he
has been attacked on social.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Media with ridicule, scorn, and contempt. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Now, I'm not a lawyer. I can play one on
the radio, and I'm going to say this as zero
chance of winning, that this has zero chance of winning.
Gastino also claiming that he was supposed to have final
edit over.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Scenes such as the one he was with.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
With Farbre and that he never gave them permission to
record the scene in the first place. So it'll be
decided by the lawyers, as it often is, right, but
someone will go through the legalise and see if there's
any fine print that Mark Gastineau did not properly read
that he docu signed.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
And I have signed some of those contracts.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I've been fortunate enough to be in some documentary stuff
over the years, and you sign.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
A lot of stuff, and a lot of it it's.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Just boilerplate legal crap that is standard that protects the
company that is paying you to do the documentary. So
I would be stunned if there's any chance that that
goes more than a couple of couple of weeks once
the judge looks at it and reads it over and
kicks it out and says that's it. But you know,
(30:05):
maybe somebody fed up and didn't put the right legal
language in there. But outside of that, the that's the
only way that has a shot, the only way, trust me. Anyway,
It is the Ben Mahler Show. We were hanging out
with you all night long. Get to the wag War,
the wag War coming up in a minute. Let'say hello
(30:25):
to Tony in the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, Welcome, Hey Ben.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Earlier you were talking about teams with the same name
Danford Broncos gets your own fucking colors.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Man.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Such a colorful character, Ben, I'm.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
A big fan. He helps you know what he does.
Tony in the Bay Area is all about the pod.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
He wants us to be number one.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I actually got an email that I don't know, maybe
I'll talk about this weekend on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I got to examine the more.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
So I get an email from some someplace I'd never
heard of that rates podcasts, and they claimed that our show,
our podcast, out of a million podcasts, is in the
top one hundred, which I find hard to believe. I
think that must be wrong, but that's what they clear.
(31:22):
They claim that it's one of these companies that rates
podcasts like sports.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Very hefty claim, Ben, I know, right, I need to
examine that more.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
But they send me. They sent me a.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Link that they say they rank the various podcasts by
genre and makes it. I mean, there are a million podcasts,
but most of them no one listens to, right, and
a lot of them are unlistenable because they're like jocks,
and who wants to hear that crap?
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I mean, that's got to mean just horrible anyway, So
there you go.
