Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom Shaka laka. It's our u too, our number two,
and it's about those OTAs. Not everyone loves the OTAs.
In fact, edge rusher Hassan Reddick has decided to skip
the first day of the Buccaneers OTA's head coach Todd
Bowle said, and I quote, I'm sure one of these
(00:21):
days will see him. Should the Buccaneers be worried? Also,
tight end Kyle Pitts didn't show up to his OTAs
in Atlanta. Your thoughts on that situation. He wants a
new contract and Bengals star wide receiver Jamar Chase, Well,
he's saying maybe we should play in these exhibition games.
He understands that he didn't want to. But the team
(00:42):
has gotten off to zero and two starts the past
three seasons. What say you on that? We'll get to
that and more? Right now here it is our number two.
It turns out the buck stops here, like right at
the practice facility, the buck stops.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Come in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, Bedfellows, as
we keep it simple, coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the mast and candidly powerful microphones of
(01:20):
FSR amminating live from the book as in the Audio
Sportsbook of the Overnight. We're hanging out here at the
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by mister Irrigation, friend
of the show in Houston in this portion of the
Ben Malor Show, made possible in part by tier Rack.
(01:40):
For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and freedback by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options for dog and alf approof of that
mobile tire installation tire raq dot com. The way tire
buying should be. So get away from the basketball as
(02:01):
the Pacers are a win away from the NBA Finals,
and I'll leave this hour from football. It's May, it's
late May. We're almost into June. And so that means
a staple of the football calendar organized team activities, which
is guaranteed to provide content for fledgling Overnight sports radio
(02:22):
gas bags. The offseason workouts so intense, so wild that
some people cannot be bothered to attend said workouts.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Well, not everyone is there.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
For example, Hassan Reddick, remember him a sack Merchant back
in the day and still making a lot of money.
Son Reddick, who was someone who just joined this offseason
the Tampa Bay football team, the Buccaneers, and he decided, Eh,
I'm I'm not gonna go I'm gonna skip the first
day of OTAs. Now, if you didn't see this, perhaps not,
(02:57):
I don't blame you. I thought this was interesting, consider
ding what happened with him last year. The money quote
was from Todd Bowles. The really entertaining some Todd Bowles
is a much better SoundBite than he is a head coach.
I like Todd Bowles cas baggery. Anyway, Todd Bowles said,
when asked about the big defensive pickup of the Buccaneers
(03:18):
not showing up, he said, I'm sure one of these days.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Will see him close. Quote.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Gotta love the dry eloquence of Todd Bowles. So let
us discuss. So you got the edge rusher who had
a very public falling out with the Jets and the
Eagles and the only heyway, So you've got Hassan Reddick,
who has now skipped the beginning of OTAs with his
new team, the Buccaneers. The head coach, Todd Bowles says, quote,
(03:47):
I'm sure one of these days will see him close quote,
So should the Bucks be worried about their big defensive pickup?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I have on this one. I've got Warner.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Brothers, Sampler Plate, and Chivalrous and we will combine all
of these things together and we're going to take a
trip to can Kun, which is likely where Hassan Reddick
is and Can't Coon somewhere. So number one, number one,
I'm nodding my head yes on this one. I'm nodding
(04:16):
my head yes. Now, this is absolutely, positively, undeniably a problem.
Now you say it's not a big problem, but you
can't say it's not a problem. You can't because of
the player. Now I realized there are always the jocksniffers,
the fanboys in the media that are out there that
will point out that OTA's are vall on Terry, Capitol
(04:39):
v Fall and Terry. It's the it's the smell test
that's the problem. The smell test is the problem here.
This is a guy who sat out months with the
He was unhappy with Philadelphia and they went to the
Jets because of a contract beef. Where's the beef? He
was very upset and now he gets another fat check
(05:01):
in Tampa. Granted it's not a long term deal, but
he got a good amount of money and it was
fourteen million or something for one year.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And this is the first impression.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I ain't showing up. I ain't playing unless I got mine.
He's getting the contract. He's just not going to show up.
And this becomes a I mentioned the smell test. This
is a Warner Brothers classic cartoon, pepe le peu pe.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, what stinks? All right? And it's all about the optiction.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
We had a conversation last night about bad manners, like
Coop has terrible manners, and this is bad manners.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I know you technically don't have to be there, but you're.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Already a question mark, right, You're already a question mark
in terms of attitude from last year. And it's a
fresh opportunity to say, oh, you know, I got that
situation done with. I've got a new contract, I'm on
a new team. Things are different. It's not like it
was last year. And you have to build up the
bubble of trust, right, And your decision, rather than build
(06:04):
up the bubble of trust is to go m I A.
That is your decision. And I think that's being a
great leader. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, I don't know,
but the man has an allergic reaction. Hassan Reddick to
voluntary workers, it's the bare minimum condition is a lot
of lazy people. I guess he's lazy, you know, just
I don't want to do anything extra. You know, it's
(06:25):
like you should work for the government or something like that.
I work at the DMV. I see a lot of
people the DMV that do the bare minimum, go through
go through the motions and all that. And so you
see that that phrase ota, you see that on your
calendar app and immediately you buy some suntan lotion and
you're like booking a beach vacation somewhere far away. It's
(06:48):
a it's kind of like dway. Look, it's like you're
starting at a new company. You've changed careers, you're starting
at a new company, and you have a zoom meeting
and you decide to ghost.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The zoom meeting. Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And I did love Todd Bowles quote again saying that
we'll see him one of these days. We'll see We'll
see the player. Hassan Reddick, the Bucks coach, said, which
is I think what we all say. If you're out
and about and you've ordered an uber and you see
that there's a lot of traffic in the cars being
delayed and all that stuff because it's stuck in traffic,
(07:24):
you say, well, well we'll see the uber one of
these days. It'll show up. One of these days, it'll
show up.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right now, Page two, speaking of no shows.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Speaking of no shows, you have tight end Kyle Pitts,
who did not show up to OTAs in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
This is the tight end.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
You told me, you draft knicks, that this is God's
gift to the tight end position. You told me that
there's no way this does not work out. Built like
a Donnis, runs like a gazelle, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Right, So he has.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Decided not show up to the OTAs in Atlanta, and
your thought on this particular situation, so to this one
is gummy. All right, this one is absolutely gummy. You've
got a guy who's been underwhelming. It's been kind, he's
been underwhelming since his rookie year. He has not lived
(08:16):
up to the immense hype that he had coming out
of the draft. And this is when he decides to
make a statement very bizarre. So again, just for the record,
this is a top five pick that you told me
was going to be amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
The draft nerds told me it was going to be amazing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
A unicorn, a unicorn tight end, going to rewrite the
record book.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
So this is the final year.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I believe, I believe I have this right, final year
of his rookie contract, and he's upset he's not getting
an extension and he's bothered by that.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Has he even earned a second contract?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Does anyone think that he's what he has done, his
body of work is worthy of a second contry, Like
another can't miss guy who who flopped the idea of
Kyle Pitts coming out.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I remember we did the typical draft shows.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And you were like, Oh, this guy's a three headed dragon,
fire breathing dragon, and he's out there running around the
idea of Kyle pitch much better than what has been
the reality of Kyle Pits.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
He has been a sampler plate with the Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Falcons of injuries, inconsistent performance, and a lot of excuses.
People that love to make excuses that I said this
guy was going to be good. I told you he
was going to be great. He's not great. It's not
his fault. It's not his fault. Blame the quarterbacks, because
of course there's never been players, never been players that
(09:46):
have put up great stats with mediocre quarterba It never happens.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You have to have a great quarterback to put up
good stats. You have to. It's a rule. It's a rule.
You have to. You have to unless you don't.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
All right, now, final points, So we go down to
sin Cinnati is where we go where the Bengals and
their wide receiver Jamar Chase said that while he does
not does not want to play in the exhibition games,
he understands. He said that he may may have to
because that's what's best for the Cincinnati football team, which
(10:21):
has lost its first two games the past three seasons.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
They have gotten out to zero and two starts.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
What say you on the generosity of Jamar Chase says,
we might have to play in some some of these
exhibition games. They are only two exhibition games anyways, so
it's really about playing in one of them. They're gonna
play one of them, and that's that's that's that. So, uh,
my reaction is how how wonderful chivalrous is my word?
(10:51):
How chivalrous of jamar Cha, very noble, a noble star,
a noble star who signed the record setting contract with
the Cincinnati football team. And these guys, this is one
thing that's completely changing my lifetime. These guys treat the
preseason like it is beneath them.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It is a nuisance, It is beneath them.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
They are way too good to go out and get
some reps, not even a couple of reps. Just it's August.
I can't do it. I cannot get out there in August.
And so this is where these these modern guys fall behind.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The weasel term, the shield of the weasel, and.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The weasel term on this is out of an abundance
of caution. You got that a lot during the pandemic, right,
You couldn't go out and eat eat fries at at
a restaurant because of abundance of caution and all that stuff,
which was turned out to be total bull crap by
the politician. Anyway, the way you don't play a lot,
but you can play a little bit, You can play
(11:52):
a little bit, and you can't approach this thing like
playing scare. That's really the message, right. It seems like
the Cincinnati bungals, if you will. They start out owing
to pretty much every year. It's like a birth what
right in Cincinnati? And then what happens is they have
to grab a shovel because they start out on they
(12:13):
got to grab a shovel, and then they have to
dig out of a.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Hole just because they've they've dug themselves a hole.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And maybe if they actually tried something a little different
in these exhibition games, they wouldn't come out of the
gate looking like they just met each other. It's like
the first day of school. They started at a new school. Hey,
what's your name?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
All right? And they run out of the tunnel before
the game. All right, we have play some football.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Your name Bill, John, all right, whatever you name it.
And now the light bulb has turned on. The light
bulb has turned on.
Speaker 2 (12:47):

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
What is up my man? Ben? Hey, A long time ago.
I used to call you when I was in Lantine
slash Nace in Michigan. He always used to call you
Ben Mallard.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Like the duck quack quack quack quack. Yes, Yes, there
was a guy in my early days. There was a
guy from from Maryland who could not say my name
for the life of me. He kept in for life
of him, he kept saying uh and he would He
would also quack like a Duck too, who was wild and.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Long way you told you corrected me one night.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
You're like, dude, it's not Mallard.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Anyhow on the NBA series, yeah, okay, see I always
said the winner of that Denver. Okay, so your series
was gonna win it all. They're looking tough. Indiana's got
a they both got deep deep benches. Do that. That's
what is carried Indiana in my book. Dude, Helliburn's a beast.
Really don't care for how his daddy acts sometimes, but
(15:53):
is what it is. Secondly, hockey, Uh, I don't know
if the series either way or done. I mean people
can say they're done, but you just don't know.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
The one.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Look the one I'm gonna keep my hand as the
Stars Oilers Stars maybe down three you one, I'm gonna
tell you don't be surprised to see the Stars win
it in seven and last week. Then I'm gonna ask
you one question, man, I just want to hear you well.
Two actually, One, where do you see the Broncos finishing
this year in the AFC West? And secondly, what's it
going to take for MLB to step in and do
something with the Rockies and make them sell before they
(16:25):
can embarrass themselves anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I love you, all right, thank you, all right, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, well, making them sell the Rockies baseball. The only
team that Baseball's made sell or made the team sell
was the Dodgers because of Frank McCord and because they
were a money maker.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So I don't think they're going to force it. They
don't seem to care. Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
The Chicago White Sox didn't get sold. They were horrific
last year. They still have the same ownership group, and
so I don't think they give a rats last well.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
We get that. My point is the Colorado fans is
are better because your donors are sitting on the butt
just raking in money, not giving it about that team.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I love you, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
All right, man, thank you, all right, appreciate it. I'm
glad you found the show. It's been it's been a minute.
It's been a minute. The Rockies, though, are so horrific
that they are actually doing things that you know, it's
a long way to go, but they're right now ahead
of the Chicago White Sox by a wide margin. And
they're comparing them to the Cleveland Spiders, which are like
(17:24):
the worst team ever, Baseball nerds, they yap about that
they the Rockies. We have a one sixty seven winning percentage,
a minus one hundred and seventy one run differential, and
they're usually losing by it's not like one run losses.
Like most of these games are getting absolutely cooked in
(17:47):
most of these these games. So it's it's pretty crazy.
And they the one guy they tried to pay a
lot of money to decided to take the money and retire.
Chris Bryant. He's not officially retired, he's just stop trying.
So you've got that going for Let's go to blind Scott,
who's on the north end of Boston. Hello, blind Scott, Wait.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Why did Chris Bryant retire? I don't under put my
hearing it.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
You have a hearing aid. He didn't retire. I thought
you were.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
You always told me you were prepared. You always said
I am prepared, I am ready to go.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
I'm prepared right now. Sorry, I just had to hit
a but I just tried to hit a button. So
when that go, I was one hundred percent prepared right there. Dude, dude,
I think this has fabricated this argument between you, Coop
and Marena.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Like, how did I How did I fabricate the You
have no idea what you're talking about? How would I
fabricate the degree?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I mean, I agree with the concept of the argument
and that you went and spoke to people. But if
you look at the Danny DeVito story that we line
up from last night, it's sorry similar to that story.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
What don what are you talking about? What did Danny
DeVito do last night?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Well, he called up last night and he triggered me.
When he was talking to you on the phone. He
was in my top five of callers. I had like
him all of me to lose from other guys. You know,
I bumped him out of there with that call yesterday.
It made no sense. It wasn't a sports radio call.
He was talking about a private conversation. I might have
to jump in a garbage truck right now, go down
(19:12):
to the garbage site and start beating people up. I
got real triggered by that. Ben. The thing is, like,
you don't call up a show and say somebody's talking
about Ben. We know people talk about us on other
sports radio shows. That's the sports radio game we're trying
to get.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That's right, that's the game you don't worry about the game.
Who cares about them? They're losers. No one listens to
those shows, no one to know.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
We'd like to know who the show is because we
got a whole mall of militia here that we.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Would well, that is that is, that is true.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
If you're gonna say, if somebody's talking about you behind
your back, you name the show, and then if we
have to, we will have a declaration of cyber warfare.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
So what would so what would happen is if I
if I could find out who this is, I would
reach out to Robbie, the Manners fan. I'd put him
at the top of the mal and militia. He's the
head guy, and I would try to get him to
fun with down channels. But we can't even figure out
what's going on because we've got Danny DeVito calling while
he's dumping a dump truck, trying to tell us.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Well, I will ask, I will ask Danny DeVito to
name the show, and then we will He made some
accusation that some show is sullying my name.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
It was unclear. It was unclear. It's like I was
on a podcast. I mean, emmittt has the podcast Blind Emmett.
It could have been on Blind Emmett's podcast for all
we know. We just we don't know. So the same
thing it goes with you with his story book going
out to dinner. You said you talked to these people,
Electra stop, you said you talked to these people that
listened to the show, and uh, we don't know who
(20:38):
these people are?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
What do you? What do you? What are you talking?
What do you The conversation was, it was here.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I was at the end of the show yesterday, I
was leaving and uh, I was on my way out.
I was trying to make plans with the Rain and
Coop for the weekend, and I found out they had
already made plans and I was not invited one one plan.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
But Ben, you show up to stuff late all the time,
like you'll.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
No, actually show up early. I get here before everyone.
These two show up at the last minute. I don't
here two hours.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Before the show.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
No, when your casual bend like casual.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
We're talking about it. I'm on time to everything. I
don't think you. I think you're talking you the wrong person.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
There, No, everybody's there, So like, what about this dinner?
It wasn't going to fit your schedule though.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Like, I have no schedule. I we have.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
We were supposed to have a couple of things, but
the soccer game got moved.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I literally have nothing. We were we were trying to
come up with.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I thought, you know, because we all worked together, maybe
we'd hang out, but I apparently not.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But uh so I'll make other plans. But it's fine.
I just it was a little blindsided.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
But can I ask cool about this acting saying there
was this actor, his name was Heath Ledger. Now is
there anything going on in Vancouver to tribute this guy?
And he was the famous action.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, that's a non sequittor why would you bring up
a non sequard?
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Well, because I had on going to Vancouver, but.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You're not going to be you know, you always say
every one of these things you say you're going to
show up to and you don't.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Show up to.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Because you know how we planned that house with we
were gonna have a disabled house with everybody from the
show living it. I wouldn't even be a living I'm
more distabled than those guys. I like, if you'll get
bron or hollering James hold.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
On, Danny DeVito, Danny, Danny can you name the show
that was trashing me.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Go ahead. Danny named the show right now on the radio.
Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Well, then, first off, I called you because I want
to apologize. I didn't mean to put you in a
tough spot.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You know, you put me in a tough spot. You
just were very vague. You were vague.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
You said some random show that's apparently it sounds like
a terrible show was saying stuff about Danny g or
something like that. I don't even know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Coveno and Coveno and Rich? Is that right?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Covino and Rich are trashing hold on a sec blind Scott.
According to Danny DeVito, Coveno and Rich Apparently that's a
show here and they're trashing DA.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
So Danny is right about this. I picked up on
this before that they choke around about you. But it's
a two hour show. It's on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Is it on Fox Sports? I've never heard it.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Really, it's from five to seven, Is that right? It's
weird show. It's like so they used to work on
serious hits one, you know, and Rich in the sports radio.
I think they like Ben, they like mc goofing on
and sports I think one of the guys got a
job at Fox Sports one. I don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Real, all right, So they were trashing me, Danny on
the you said, the Colvino and Rich show, whatever that.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Is, Huh, I don't. I don't listen to it. I
got a close friend that does, and I guess around
all really.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, it's very odd. I don't talk about them. I
don't know why they would talk about me. It's very odd.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Need have Ben, But I want you know, that's why
I'm calling you know. I want to applay that again
to you about that. Like I said, so, I don't
want to put you in like a tough squaw yesterday.
So I didn't even brought it up to be honest
with you, all.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Right, you know enough, very good. Well you brought it
up now, and we'll see if the fellas want to
you know, if we got this is an active war
attacking my name. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Maybe you misheard that you said, you didn't hear it exactly.
Maybe they didn't actually say what you thought they said.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Is it possible, maybe possibly with that there's a thing
on that show, supposedly Danny g But I do want
to say something's first been about the NBA Finals. I
love this now because you're gonna have two teams that
never won nothing. The league can't stand it, and this
in those two teams. Everything in the league is not.
(24:21):
There's no divas on those teams. I think it's great.
I don't know how you feel about that, But you
know all these other players, it's all about me, me, me,
and those those two teams there. If it's gonna be
the pass in thunder, I'm not about that.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I don't know that I would use the word great.
I don't think that would be the word I will use,
but it will.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It doesn't matter who plays in the finals. We'll watch,
and I don't think it's gonna be that great a series,
So I mean, I'll watch. But I think you did
all right. Devin writes and says on this Mallord meet
and greet thing where there was a dinner that was
not invited to, he says, by Coop, is it any
less inconsiderate Ben to not take the same flow. Well,
I think the inconsiderate party would be Loraina and Coop.
(25:04):
I'm the host of the show. They should have come
to the airport I'm flying out of and we could
have all flown together.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I know Coop laughs because he's a terrible producer.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But usually the way that which there is a power
structure and the host of the show. You accommodate the
host of the show. It's not accommodate the board, Op
or the call screener. It's normally the host.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Of the show. Look at how he's delights. That's normalous
right here, it's not the border. That's normally. We should
drive to the We should drive to the show. I
will be back. You go out the airport by his house. Yes,
after I work nine hours straight. Okay?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
And you know everyone's got a sob story.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Everyone's got a We don't want to make polls about
it online.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Do we?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Well, you know, maybe you handed things properly. You don't
need a poll online. How about that? Maybe if you
if you have some freaking manners, manner maners exactly. It's
go to Charlie in Dallas. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Charlie? Welcome? Yes? I bet Charlie would invite you to
his micheline dinner. Well, I don't know. If he was
raised properly, maybe he would. I agree with you, Ben,
thank you for they were very rude.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I live.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I definitely know this. That's very rude.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Exactly, well, most people do, most people, not the people,
not the people I work with, but the people out
there in the real world.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
What's going on? You're the Dallas Dumper. What's going on? Charlie?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I guess?
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Who am I being?
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Correctly? Again? Ben?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You weren't on the air, So I don't know that
you answered that correctly because you're assuming.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
That I didn't hear that on the air. Well I did,
I know, but that's your word. I don't know that
that's actually what happened. I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I can't like text or anything.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Well you can't. You're not, okay, you can't, you know.
I guess all right, Well, you're on the and I
who cares about that?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
You're on the in Now, what do you got kill?
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Let's see my Dallas.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
How are things going for your Dallas? I don't think
they're going that well, Charlie. I e they're going that
well for your Dallas Stars, I think they are. You
have a better chance. You have a better chance of
going out there and leading the Dallas Stars than the
current players.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
How about that you scored one goal.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Your team scored one goal against Stuart Skinner, who supposedly
sucks well the beef.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
He was making some really nice staves today last night.
But yeah, m I mean like a hotting drew longer.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
And uh yeah, I feel like the calls sputtering out, Charlie,
feel like you're you're you're out of material.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You're out of material, Charlie, is that it? Are you
done with the material? Yeah? You are? You see, you're tired.
You need to go to bed. Right, it's a school night.
You have to go to bed. How many more? You
don't have much more school though?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's getting in late May here, it's schools winding down.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
It's winding down dramatically.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Dramatically. Oh, the big finish a very exciting. All right, Well,
thank you for calling, Charlie. You're the Dallas Dumper and
the Royal flush. Charlie, Yeah, real quick, Yeah, there's nothing
I got it.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
There you go. All right.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
It is the Ben Mallor Show as we are rolling
through the overnight. So the New York stateum My Julius Randall,
who has absolutely vanished for the Minnesota Timberwolves here as
he has fallen off a cliff into the Abyss. So
Julius Randall says that playing for the Knicks was not fun.
(29:03):
He said, you can't really focus on the game, he said,
So what's his excuse going to be in Minnesota? Because
he's like, Minnesota, there's not you don't have the New
York City element and all that stuff. So what is
excuse going to be playing in Minnesota out because he's
been absolutely terrible. Minnesota's on the brink of elimination as
(29:24):
they are about to be escorted out of the postseason
here with one more loss, and then people are going
to point the finger at him and say, well, dude,
you're the second option behind Anthony Edwards and you have
gone a wall in this particular series. So with that,
Manuel in Gardena writes In says blind Scott and is
(29:50):
something about Danny DeVito. They need to get a room,
keep your affairs in Boston here trying to run a
sports talk show, not some kind of Beantown dating service
or something. I don't know what that's all about. Supermarket
Steve wrights In's trashing Covino and Rich. I don't I've
(30:14):
not really heard the show, so I don't comment on that.
But thank you for adding adding to the show. Wonderful
Malard prop Guy rights In says ferg Dog would like
to join Ben and me at a dinner after the
triumphant return of another successful Maler meet and greet, and
then he's.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Got the the.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Menu there which he made up. I think through AI
a wonderfully fine menu. Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox is the number. If you'd like to be part,
that's eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty
nine and you can join.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
The Festivus of Talk.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
The Festivus of Talk was an interesting conversation that has
taken place here over the last twenty four hours involving
Anthony Edwards, the ant man. Things are not going particularly
well for Anthony Edwards. He gave one of the worst
quotes you can possibly give after an embarrassing performance by
a headline star.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
In the NBA, and I don't think I had a
bad game.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I just didn't get any enough shots up to have
a bad game. And it's like, yeah, it's like no accountability,
zero accountability from Anthony Edwards and he was getting killed
for that. Is this debate whether or not he's gonna
be the face of the NBA and I don't even
can put that to bed for right now. That conversation
will not come back. But one of the odd takes
(31:39):
was that he has to be a family man to
be the face of the NBA. This was something that
was bouncing around and that's that's not necessarily the case
at all. It doesn't hurt to be a family You
probably shouldn't go.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Around and be as busy.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I guess it's the word I will use as Anthony
Edwards has been Probably not a great way to go
on that, but anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
As we were working our way through the open, also,
I saw Kevin Durant, more chatter, more NBA chatter that
Kevin Durant is flirting, playing footsie with the San Antonio Spurs,
and the way this story has been reported, I go,
there's mutual interest there between Kevin Durant and San Antonio
and they're talking about creating a.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Brand new super team.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
So I asked the question, if Kevin Durant dropped into
San Antonio and then lose many of the current players,
the core players they have on the San Antonio Spurs
and Wemby's gonna come back next season, does that qualify
as a super team. And I'm gonna argue, no, it
does not qualify as a super team.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
The only time that worked. How many times has Durant
put a super team together? It's only worth one time.
That's it. It worked with the Golden State Worst. But
that was a team that he was dropped into and
they had established themselves and they had had success, and
Durant came flying in from the top rope and they
had even more success. But you look at what he
(33:15):
has done in Brooklyn with Kyrie Irving. That was supposed
to be a super team didn't. We're gonna went to Phoenix.
When he went to Phoenix, all Devin Booker, Durant, and
then they added Bradley Beal and the Sons were loaded.
Oh man, who's going to beat the Suns? Everybody everyone's
gonna beat the Suns. No one's gonna lose the Sun.
So you had that, uh, and so at this point
(33:37):
he said, numbers are not terrible, Kevin Durant. But you're like, eh,
likely not not going to be that guy. We're gonna
have Mallardy third degree coming up in a minute time.
Now for the insta trivia, and here it is Mariners
star cal Raleigh, the big dumper. Cal Rawley had has
nineteen home runs and that has broken a tie with
(33:59):
Black for the most home runs by a primary position
catcher in the first fifty three games of the season.
This is no one of those fugazi stats, but we'll
engage in it.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Why not.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
They just picked out fifty three games as the denominator
that they will use for this stat. But again, if
you'd like to answer it on X at Ben Mahler,
that's at Ben Maler. Marinerstar cal Rawley has nineteen home
runs that has broken a tie with Blank for the
most by a primary position catcher in his team's first
fifty three games of a season.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
That is the insta tribute the answer. We'll get to it.
We'll do it next.

tie with Blank for the most by a primary position
catcher in his team's first fifty three games of a season.
And on these stats that you manipulate to get a
(35:51):

Sheene in the Morning Gooing with Malcolm X as his
answer PBA Commissioner Tom k that's according to deferg Dog.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Pud Rodriguez from Eke and Roseville Minnesota. Vern Bickford from
Poopy Pants. Let's see here, King Roy going with Luke
as his answer, and say that name Gabby Hartnett from
alf the Alien. O Piner William clearly cheating, got this right.
Hobby Lopez from the Sawman in Mississippi. Mickey Tedtleton fruit
(36:29):
loops from Donkey Sausage. He was on some special fruit loops.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I like the sausage for sure. What else do we

Speaker 1 (36:46):
The wie Man said, Ben's favorite catcher, Mike Piazza. Here
you go, Mike pia the man that was gonna be
a Dodger his entire career until he wasn't a dodger. Uh.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
And that's the same answer from Milkman.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Mike in Colorado said, Mike Piazza the met as the answer.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Who else do we have page down?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Let's hear Trucker Joe says, the greatest catcher of all
blind Scott or Sabrina. Terry Kennedy guessed by DJ Spin
it's his answer. Terry in England says the Dallas Dumper
very upset a lot of reaction, very angry reaction to
(37:25):
Charlie's phone call. Not one of his better efforts, not
one of his better efforts. Robin Minnesota going with Manny
Sanghian as his answer. Manuel went with Ken Phelps. Rosie
Perez from gil in San Diego.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
All right, what say you, Lorena, I'm going with Benny
the Bopper? Is it Benny the Bopper?
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Is? That?
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Is not Benny the Bopper.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
The correct answer, the correct answer to the instit trivia
is none other than Roy Campanella.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
The nine team fifty five Brooklyn Dodgers. Roy Puanella is
the answer. It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 3 (38:04):
To the third degree, this is one big event, gets grilled?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
All right?
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Good.
Speaker 7 (38:11):
It is being reported by an NBA insider that, thanks
to Jason Tatum's injury and rumors of the Celtics breaking
up their core, that Joannis and Tenna Kumbo could stay
with the Bucks for at least one more season. But
do you think the state of the Celtics changes things
for the Greek freak?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, he's not going to the Celtics. That's not that's
not happening. Celtics is trying to if they if they
do start picking the team apart. They're gonna unload salaries,
So why would they bring in one of the highest
paid players in the NBA that made any sense why
he would go there.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
It's gonna be Miami or you'll.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Go to the Lakers or the Clippers or the Knicks,
and one of those teams is not going well. Not
going to stay with the Bucks because the Celtics are
gonna get on. He's gonna stay with the Bucks because
they're gonna suck. Because the Lillard's out next year, He's
gotta pop the Kills next.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
The Red Sox are now under five hundred and then
fall in the fourth place in the Al East, and
this has sparked rumors about Alex Corra's future being in doubt.
Ben is the end near for Cora's Boston tenure.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Well, I'm not boots on the ground, but my people
in Boston are telling me that Cora's checked out.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
That's what they're saying, that he's just not into it.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
This whole graduation kerfluffle where his daughter graduated in the
morning and he couldn't make the game at night because
he had a dinner to attend that did not go
over well with the natives in Boston, and it's just
he's coddling the third basement Rafael Devers, who's a dh
now and refuses to play any other position than dash
and Alice Core is protecting him.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
That's not going over well with the people in Boston.
Speaker 7 (39:40):
He's in.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
He's definitely in jeopardy.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
They did They just gave him a new contract, though
so unlikely to be fired in like the next month.
Speaker 7 (39:46):
Next eating legend, Joey Chestnutt broke his own popcorn eating
record on Memorial Day inhaling forty two servings in just
eight minutes. And Ben, if you were forced to compete
in an eating contest, which food would you perform best with?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Well, my go to is the chick finger, But I
could like the popcorn. Things very difficult if it's buttered popcorn.
I could do two buckets of the movie theater.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
But that's there.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I'm pushing it at my my biggest but chicken fingers.
How about jelly beans? I can eat a lot of
jelly beans?
Speaker 5 (40:14):
All right?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
How did we do you pass the same?
Speaker 6 (40:16):
All right?
Speaker 2 (40:16):
There's a one putting on the boar
Boom Shaka laka. It's our u too, our number two,
and it's about those OTAs. Not everyone loves the OTAs.
In fact, edge rusher Hassan Reddick has decided to skip
the first day of the Buccaneers OTA's head coach Todd
Bowle said, and I quote, I'm sure one of these
(00:21):
days will see him. Should the Buccaneers be worried? Also,
tight end Kyle Pitts didn't show up to his OTAs
in Atlanta. Your thoughts on that situation. He wants a
new contract and Bengals star wide receiver Jamar Chase, Well,
he's saying maybe we should play in these exhibition games.
He understands that he didn't want to. But the team
(00:42):
has gotten off to zero and two starts the past
three seasons. What say you on that? We'll get to
that and more? Right now here it is our number two.
It turns out the buck stops here, like right at
the practice facility, the buck stops.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Come in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, Bedfellows, as
we keep it simple, coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the mast and candidly powerful microphones of
(01:20):
FSR amminating live from the book as in the Audio
Sportsbook of the Overnight. We're hanging out here at the
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by mister Irrigation, friend
of the show in Houston in this portion of the
Ben Malor Show, made possible in part by tier Rack.

(02:01):
the Pacers are a win away from the NBA Finals,
and I'll leave this hour from football. It's May, it's
late May. We're almost into June. And so that means
a staple of the football calendar organized team activities, which
is guaranteed to provide content for fledgling Overnight sports radio
(02:22):
gas bags. The offseason workouts so intense, so wild that
some people cannot be bothered to attend said workouts.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Well, not everyone is there.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
For example, Hassan Reddick, remember him a sack Merchant back
in the day and still making a lot of money.
Son Reddick, who was someone who just joined this offseason
the Tampa Bay football team, the Buccaneers, and he decided, Eh,
I'm I'm not gonna go I'm gonna skip the first
day of OTAs. Now, if you didn't see this, perhaps not,
(02:57):
I don't blame you. I thought this was interesting, consider
ding what happened with him last year. The money quote
was from Todd Bowles. The really entertaining some Todd Bowles
is a much better SoundBite than he is a head coach.
I like Todd Bowles cas baggery. Anyway, Todd Bowles said,
when asked about the big defensive pickup of the Buccaneers
(03:18):
not showing up, he said, I'm sure one of these days.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Will see him close. Quote.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Gotta love the dry eloquence of Todd Bowles. So let
us discuss. So you got the edge rusher who had
a very public falling out with the Jets and the
Eagles and the only heyway, So you've got Hassan Reddick,
who has now skipped the beginning of OTAs with his
new team, the Buccaneers. The head coach, Todd Bowles says, quote,
(03:47):
I'm sure one of these days will see him close quote,
So should the Bucks be worried about their big defensive pickup?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I have on this one. I've got Warner.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Brothers, Sampler Plate, and Chivalrous and we will combine all
of these things together and we're going to take a
trip to can Kun, which is likely where Hassan Reddick
is and Can't Coon somewhere. So number one, number one,
I'm nodding my head yes on this one. I'm nodding
(04:16):
my head yes. Now, this is absolutely, positively, undeniably a problem.
Now you say it's not a big problem, but you
can't say it's not a problem. You can't because of
the player. Now I realized there are always the jocksniffers,
the fanboys in the media that are out there that
will point out that OTA's are vall on Terry, Capitol
(04:39):
v Fall and Terry. It's the it's the smell test
that's the problem. The smell test is the problem here.
This is a guy who sat out months with the
He was unhappy with Philadelphia and they went to the
Jets because of a contract beef. Where's the beef? He
was very upset and now he gets another fat check
(05:01):
in Tampa. Granted it's not a long term deal, but
he got a good amount of money and it was
fourteen million or something for one year.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And this is the first impression.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I ain't showing up. I ain't playing unless I got mine.
He's getting the contract. He's just not going to show up.
And this becomes a I mentioned the smell test. This
is a Warner Brothers classic cartoon, pepe le peu pe.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, what stinks? All right? And it's all about the optiction.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
We had a conversation last night about bad manners, like
Coop has terrible manners, and this is bad manners.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I know you technically don't have to be there, but you're.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Already a question mark, right, You're already a question mark
in terms of attitude from last year. And it's a
fresh opportunity to say, oh, you know, I got that
situation done with. I've got a new contract, I'm on
a new team. Things are different. It's not like it
was last year. And you have to build up the
bubble of trust, right, And your decision, rather than build
(06:04):
up the bubble of trust is to go m I A.
That is your decision. And I think that's being a
great leader. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, I don't know,
but the man has an allergic reaction. Hassan Reddick to
voluntary workers, it's the bare minimum condition is a lot
of lazy people. I guess he's lazy, you know, just
I don't want to do anything extra. You know, it's
(06:25):
like you should work for the government or something like that.
I work at the DMV. I see a lot of
people the DMV that do the bare minimum, go through
go through the motions and all that. And so you
see that that phrase ota, you see that on your
calendar app and immediately you buy some suntan lotion and
you're like booking a beach vacation somewhere far away. It's
(06:48):
a it's kind of like dway. Look, it's like you're
starting at a new company. You've changed careers, you're starting
at a new company, and you have a zoom meeting
and you decide to ghost.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The zoom meeting. Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And I did love Todd Bowles quote again saying that
we'll see him one of these days. We'll see We'll
see the player. Hassan Reddick, the Bucks coach, said, which
is I think what we all say. If you're out
and about and you've ordered an uber and you see
that there's a lot of traffic in the cars being
delayed and all that stuff because it's stuck in traffic,
(07:24):
you say, well, well we'll see the uber one of
these days. It'll show up. One of these days, it'll
show up.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right now, Page two, speaking of no shows.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Speaking of no shows, you have tight end Kyle Pitts,
who did not show up to OTAs in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
This is the tight end.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
You told me, you draft knicks, that this is God's
gift to the tight end position. You told me that
there's no way this does not work out. Built like
a Donnis, runs like a gazelle, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Right, So he has.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Decided not show up to the OTAs in Atlanta, and
your thought on this particular situation, so to this one
is gummy. All right, this one is absolutely gummy. You've
got a guy who's been underwhelming. It's been kind, he's
been underwhelming since his rookie year. He has not lived
(08:16):
up to the immense hype that he had coming out
of the draft. And this is when he decides to
make a statement very bizarre. So again, just for the record,
this is a top five pick that you told me
was going to be amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
The draft nerds told me it was going to be amazing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
A unicorn, a unicorn tight end, going to rewrite the
record book.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
So this is the final year.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I believe, I believe I have this right, final year
of his rookie contract, and he's upset he's not getting
an extension and he's bothered by that.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Has he even earned a second contract?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Does anyone think that he's what he has done, his
body of work is worthy of a second contry, Like
another can't miss guy who who flopped the idea of
Kyle Pitts coming out.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I remember we did the typical draft shows.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And you were like, Oh, this guy's a three headed dragon,
fire breathing dragon, and he's out there running around the
idea of Kyle pitch much better than what has been
the reality of Kyle Pits.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
He has been a sampler plate with the Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Falcons of injuries, inconsistent performance, and a lot of excuses.
People that love to make excuses that I said this
guy was going to be good. I told you he
was going to be great. He's not great. It's not
his fault. It's not his fault. Blame the quarterbacks, because
of course there's never been players, never been players that
(09:46):
have put up great stats with mediocre quarterba It never happens.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You have to have a great quarterback to put up
good stats. You have to. It's a rule. It's a rule.
You have to. You have to unless you don't.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
All right, now, final points, So we go down to
sin Cinnati is where we go where the Bengals and
their wide receiver Jamar Chase said that while he does
not does not want to play in the exhibition games,
he understands. He said that he may may have to
because that's what's best for the Cincinnati football team, which
(10:21):
has lost its first two games the past three seasons.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
They have gotten out to zero and two starts.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
What say you on the generosity of Jamar Chase says,
we might have to play in some some of these
exhibition games. They are only two exhibition games anyways, so
it's really about playing in one of them. They're gonna
play one of them, and that's that's that's that. So, uh,
my reaction is how how wonderful chivalrous is my word?
(10:51):
How chivalrous of jamar Cha, very noble, a noble star,
a noble star who signed the record setting contract with
the Cincinnati football team. And these guys, this is one
thing that's completely changing my lifetime. These guys treat the
preseason like it is beneath them.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It is a nuisance, It is beneath them.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
They are way too good to go out and get
some reps, not even a couple of reps. Just it's August.
I can't do it. I cannot get out there in August.
And so this is where these these modern guys fall behind.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The weasel term, the shield of the weasel, and.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The weasel term on this is out of an abundance
of caution. You got that a lot during the pandemic, right,
You couldn't go out and eat eat fries at at
a restaurant because of abundance of caution and all that stuff,
which was turned out to be total bull crap by
the politician. Anyway, the way you don't play a lot,
but you can play a little bit, You can play
(11:52):
a little bit, and you can't approach this thing like
playing scare. That's really the message, right. It seems like
the Cincinnati bungals, if you will. They start out owing
to pretty much every year. It's like a birth what
right in Cincinnati? And then what happens is they have
to grab a shovel because they start out on they
(12:13):
got to grab a shovel, and then they have to
dig out of a.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Hole just because they've they've dug themselves a hole.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And maybe if they actually tried something a little different
in these exhibition games, they wouldn't come out of the
gate looking like they just met each other. It's like
the first day of school. They started at a new school. Hey,
what's your name?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
All right? And they run out of the tunnel before
the game. All right, we have play some football.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Your name Bill, John, all right, whatever you name it.
And now the light bulb has turned on. The light
bulb has turned on.
Speaker 2 (12:47):

Speaker 2 (14:59):
What's going on? Joseph? Welcome?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
What is up my man? Ben? Hey, A long time ago.
I used to call you when I was in Lantine
slash Nace in Michigan. He always used to call you
Ben Mallard.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Like the duck quack quack quack quack. Yes, Yes, there
was a guy in my early days. There was a
guy from from Maryland who could not say my name
for the life of me. He kept in for life
of him, he kept saying uh and he would He
would also quack like a Duck too, who was wild and.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Long way you told you corrected me one night.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
You're like, dude, it's not Mallard.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Anyhow on the NBA series, yeah, okay, see I always
said the winner of that Denver. Okay, so your series
was gonna win it all. They're looking tough. Indiana's got
a they both got deep deep benches. Do that. That's
what is carried Indiana in my book. Dude, Helliburn's a beast.
Really don't care for how his daddy acts sometimes, but
(15:53):
is what it is. Secondly, hockey, Uh, I don't know
if the series either way or done. I mean people
can say they're done, but you just don't know.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
The one.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Look the one I'm gonna keep my hand as the
Stars Oilers Stars maybe down three you one, I'm gonna
tell you don't be surprised to see the Stars win
it in seven and last week. Then I'm gonna ask
you one question, man, I just want to hear you well.
Two actually, One, where do you see the Broncos finishing
this year in the AFC West? And secondly, what's it
going to take for MLB to step in and do
something with the Rockies and make them sell before they
(16:25):
can embarrass themselves anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I love you, all right, thank you, all right, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, well, making them sell the Rockies baseball. The only
team that Baseball's made sell or made the team sell
was the Dodgers because of Frank McCord and because they
were a money maker.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So I don't think they're going to force it. They
don't seem to care. Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
The Chicago White Sox didn't get sold. They were horrific
last year. They still have the same ownership group, and
so I don't think they give a rats last well.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
We get that. My point is the Colorado fans is
are better because your donors are sitting on the butt
just raking in money, not giving it about that team.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I love you, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
All right, man, thank you, all right, appreciate it. I'm
glad you found the show. It's been it's been a minute.
It's been a minute. The Rockies, though, are so horrific
that they are actually doing things that you know, it's
a long way to go, but they're right now ahead
of the Chicago White Sox by a wide margin. And
they're comparing them to the Cleveland Spiders, which are like
(17:24):
the worst team ever, Baseball nerds, they yap about that
they the Rockies. We have a one sixty seven winning percentage,
a minus one hundred and seventy one run differential, and
they're usually losing by it's not like one run losses.
Like most of these games are getting absolutely cooked in
(17:47):
most of these these games. So it's it's pretty crazy.
And they the one guy they tried to pay a
lot of money to decided to take the money and retire.
Chris Bryant. He's not officially retired, he's just stop trying.
So you've got that going for Let's go to blind Scott,
who's on the north end of Boston. Hello, blind Scott, Wait.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Why did Chris Bryant retire? I don't under put my
hearing it.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
You have a hearing aid. He didn't retire. I thought
you were.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
You always told me you were prepared. You always said
I am prepared, I am ready to go.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
I'm prepared right now. Sorry, I just had to hit
a but I just tried to hit a button. So
when that go, I was one hundred percent prepared right there. Dude, dude,
I think this has fabricated this argument between you, Coop
and Marena.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Like, how did I How did I fabricate the You
have no idea what you're talking about? How would I
fabricate the degree?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I mean, I agree with the concept of the argument
and that you went and spoke to people. But if
you look at the Danny DeVito story that we line
up from last night, it's sorry similar to that story.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
What don what are you talking about? What did Danny
DeVito do last night?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Well, he called up last night and he triggered me.
When he was talking to you on the phone. He
was in my top five of callers. I had like
him all of me to lose from other guys. You know,
I bumped him out of there with that call yesterday.
It made no sense. It wasn't a sports radio call.
He was talking about a private conversation. I might have
to jump in a garbage truck right now, go down
(19:12):
to the garbage site and start beating people up. I
got real triggered by that. Ben. The thing is, like,
you don't call up a show and say somebody's talking
about Ben. We know people talk about us on other
sports radio shows. That's the sports radio game we're trying
to get.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That's right, that's the game you don't worry about the game.
Who cares about them? They're losers. No one listens to
those shows, no one to know.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
We'd like to know who the show is because we
got a whole mall of militia here that we.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Would well, that is that is, that is true.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
If you're gonna say, if somebody's talking about you behind
your back, you name the show, and then if we
have to, we will have a declaration of cyber warfare.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
So what would so what would happen is if I
if I could find out who this is, I would
reach out to Robbie, the Manners fan. I'd put him
at the top of the mal and militia. He's the
head guy, and I would try to get him to
fun with down channels. But we can't even figure out
what's going on because we've got Danny DeVito calling while
he's dumping a dump truck, trying to tell us.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Well, I will ask, I will ask Danny DeVito to
name the show, and then we will He made some
accusation that some show is sullying my name.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
It was unclear. It was unclear. It's like I was
on a podcast. I mean, emmittt has the podcast Blind Emmett.
It could have been on Blind Emmett's podcast for all
we know. We just we don't know. So the same
thing it goes with you with his story book going
out to dinner. You said you talked to these people,
Electra stop, you said you talked to these people that
listened to the show, and uh, we don't know who
(20:38):
these people are?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
What do you? What do you? What are you talking?
What do you The conversation was, it was here.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I was at the end of the show yesterday, I
was leaving and uh, I was on my way out.
I was trying to make plans with the Rain and
Coop for the weekend, and I found out they had
already made plans and I was not invited one one plan.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
But Ben, you show up to stuff late all the time,
like you'll.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
No, actually show up early. I get here before everyone.
These two show up at the last minute. I don't
here two hours.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Before the show.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
No, when your casual bend like casual.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
We're talking about it. I'm on time to everything. I
don't think you. I think you're talking you the wrong person.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
There, No, everybody's there, So like, what about this dinner?
It wasn't going to fit your schedule though.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Like, I have no schedule. I we have.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
We were supposed to have a couple of things, but
the soccer game got moved.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I literally have nothing. We were we were trying to
come up with.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I thought, you know, because we all worked together, maybe
we'd hang out, but I apparently not.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But uh so I'll make other plans. But it's fine.
I just it was a little blindsided.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
But can I ask cool about this acting saying there
was this actor, his name was Heath Ledger. Now is
there anything going on in Vancouver to tribute this guy?
And he was the famous action.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, that's a non sequittor why would you bring up
a non sequard?
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Well, because I had on going to Vancouver, but.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You're not going to be you know, you always say
every one of these things you say you're going to
show up to and you don't.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Show up to.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Because you know how we planned that house with we
were gonna have a disabled house with everybody from the
show living it. I wouldn't even be a living I'm
more distabled than those guys. I like, if you'll get
bron or hollering James hold.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
On, Danny DeVito, Danny, Danny can you name the show
that was trashing me.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Go ahead. Danny named the show right now on the radio.
Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Well, then, first off, I called you because I want
to apologize. I didn't mean to put you in a
tough spot.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You know, you put me in a tough spot. You
just were very vague. You were vague.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
You said some random show that's apparently it sounds like
a terrible show was saying stuff about Danny g or
something like that. I don't even know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Coveno and Coveno and Rich? Is that right?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Covino and Rich are trashing hold on a sec blind Scott.
According to Danny DeVito, Coveno and Rich Apparently that's a
show here and they're trashing DA.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
So Danny is right about this. I picked up on
this before that they choke around about you. But it's
a two hour show. It's on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Is it on Fox Sports? I've never heard it.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Really, it's from five to seven, Is that right? It's
weird show. It's like so they used to work on
serious hits one, you know, and Rich in the sports radio.
I think they like Ben, they like mc goofing on
and sports I think one of the guys got a
job at Fox Sports one. I don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Real, all right, So they were trashing me, Danny on
the you said, the Colvino and Rich show, whatever that.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Is, Huh, I don't. I don't listen to it. I
got a close friend that does, and I guess around
all really.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, it's very odd. I don't talk about them. I
don't know why they would talk about me. It's very odd.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Need have Ben, But I want you know, that's why
I'm calling you know. I want to applay that again
to you about that. Like I said, so, I don't
want to put you in like a tough squaw yesterday.
So I didn't even brought it up to be honest
with you, all.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Right, you know enough, very good. Well you brought it
up now, and we'll see if the fellas want to
you know, if we got this is an active war
attacking my name. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Maybe you misheard that you said, you didn't hear it exactly.
Maybe they didn't actually say what you thought they said.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Is it possible, maybe possibly with that there's a thing
on that show, supposedly Danny g But I do want
to say something's first been about the NBA Finals. I
love this now because you're gonna have two teams that
never won nothing. The league can't stand it, and this
in those two teams. Everything in the league is not.
(24:21):
There's no divas on those teams. I think it's great.
I don't know how you feel about that, But you
know all these other players, it's all about me, me, me,
and those those two teams there. If it's gonna be
the pass in thunder, I'm not about that.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I don't know that I would use the word great.
I don't think that would be the word I will use,
but it will.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It doesn't matter who plays in the finals. We'll watch,
and I don't think it's gonna be that great a series,
So I mean, I'll watch. But I think you did
all right. Devin writes and says on this Mallord meet
and greet thing where there was a dinner that was
not invited to, he says, by Coop, is it any
less inconsiderate Ben to not take the same flow. Well,
I think the inconsiderate party would be Loraina and Coop.
(25:04):
I'm the host of the show. They should have come
to the airport I'm flying out of and we could
have all flown together.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I know Coop laughs because he's a terrible producer.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But usually the way that which there is a power
structure and the host of the show. You accommodate the
host of the show. It's not accommodate the board, Op
or the call screener. It's normally the host.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Of the show. Look at how he's delights. That's normalous
right here, it's not the border. That's normally. We should
drive to the We should drive to the show. I
will be back. You go out the airport by his house. Yes,
after I work nine hours straight. Okay?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
And you know everyone's got a sob story.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Everyone's got a We don't want to make polls about
it online.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Do we?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Well, you know, maybe you handed things properly. You don't
need a poll online. How about that? Maybe if you
if you have some freaking manners, manner maners exactly. It's
go to Charlie in Dallas. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Charlie? Welcome? Yes? I bet Charlie would invite you to
his micheline dinner. Well, I don't know. If he was
raised properly, maybe he would. I agree with you, Ben,
thank you for they were very rude.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I live.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I definitely know this. That's very rude.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Exactly, well, most people do, most people, not the people,
not the people I work with, but the people out
there in the real world.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
What's going on? You're the Dallas Dumper. What's going on? Charlie?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I guess?
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Who am I being?
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Correctly? Again? Ben?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You weren't on the air, So I don't know that
you answered that correctly because you're assuming.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
That I didn't hear that on the air. Well I did,
I know, but that's your word. I don't know that
that's actually what happened. I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I can't like text or anything.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Well you can't. You're not, okay, you can't, you know.
I guess all right, Well, you're on the and I
who cares about that?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
You're on the in Now, what do you got kill?
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Let's see my Dallas.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
How are things going for your Dallas? I don't think
they're going that well, Charlie. I e they're going that
well for your Dallas Stars, I think they are. You
have a better chance. You have a better chance of
going out there and leading the Dallas Stars than the
current players.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
How about that you scored one goal.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Your team scored one goal against Stuart Skinner, who supposedly
sucks well the beef.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
He was making some really nice staves today last night.
But yeah, m I mean like a hotting drew longer.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
And uh yeah, I feel like the calls sputtering out, Charlie,
feel like you're you're you're out of material.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You're out of material, Charlie, is that it? Are you
done with the material? Yeah? You are? You see, you're tired.
You need to go to bed. Right, it's a school night.
You have to go to bed. How many more? You
don't have much more school though?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's getting in late May here, it's schools winding down.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
It's winding down dramatically.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Dramatically. Oh, the big finish a very exciting. All right, Well,
thank you for calling, Charlie. You're the Dallas Dumper and
the Royal flush. Charlie, Yeah, real quick, Yeah, there's nothing
I got it.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
There you go. All right.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
It is the Ben Mallor Show as we are rolling
through the overnight. So the New York stateum My Julius Randall,
who has absolutely vanished for the Minnesota Timberwolves here as
he has fallen off a cliff into the Abyss. So
Julius Randall says that playing for the Knicks was not fun.
(29:03):
He said, you can't really focus on the game, he said,
So what's his excuse going to be in Minnesota? Because
he's like, Minnesota, there's not you don't have the New
York City element and all that stuff. So what is
excuse going to be playing in Minnesota out because he's
been absolutely terrible. Minnesota's on the brink of elimination as
(29:24):
they are about to be escorted out of the postseason
here with one more loss, and then people are going
to point the finger at him and say, well, dude,
you're the second option behind Anthony Edwards and you have
gone a wall in this particular series. So with that,
Manuel in Gardena writes In says blind Scott and is
(29:50):
something about Danny DeVito. They need to get a room,
keep your affairs in Boston here trying to run a
sports talk show, not some kind of Beantown dating service
or something. I don't know what that's all about. Supermarket
Steve wrights In's trashing Covino and Rich. I don't I've
(30:14):
not really heard the show, so I don't comment on that.
But thank you for adding adding to the show. Wonderful
Malard prop Guy rights In says ferg Dog would like
to join Ben and me at a dinner after the
triumphant return of another successful Maler meet and greet, and
then he's.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Got the the.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Menu there which he made up. I think through AI
a wonderfully fine menu. Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox is the number. If you'd like to be part,
that's eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty
nine and you can join.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
The Festivus of Talk.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
The Festivus of Talk was an interesting conversation that has
taken place here over the last twenty four hours involving
Anthony Edwards, the ant man. Things are not going particularly
well for Anthony Edwards. He gave one of the worst
quotes you can possibly give after an embarrassing performance by
a headline star.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
In the NBA, and I don't think I had a
bad game.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I just didn't get any enough shots up to have
a bad game. And it's like, yeah, it's like no accountability,
zero accountability from Anthony Edwards and he was getting killed
for that. Is this debate whether or not he's gonna
be the face of the NBA and I don't even
can put that to bed for right now. That conversation
will not come back. But one of the odd takes
(31:39):
was that he has to be a family man to
be the face of the NBA. This was something that
was bouncing around and that's that's not necessarily the case
at all. It doesn't hurt to be a family You
probably shouldn't go.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Around and be as busy.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I guess it's the word I will use as Anthony
Edwards has been Probably not a great way to go
on that, but anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
As we were working our way through the open, also,
I saw Kevin Durant, more chatter, more NBA chatter that
Kevin Durant is flirting, playing footsie with the San Antonio Spurs,
and the way this story has been reported, I go,
there's mutual interest there between Kevin Durant and San Antonio
and they're talking about creating a.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Brand new super team.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
So I asked the question, if Kevin Durant dropped into
San Antonio and then lose many of the current players,
the core players they have on the San Antonio Spurs
and Wemby's gonna come back next season, does that qualify
as a super team. And I'm gonna argue, no, it
does not qualify as a super team.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
The only time that worked. How many times has Durant
put a super team together? It's only worth one time.
That's it. It worked with the Golden State Worst. But
that was a team that he was dropped into and
they had established themselves and they had had success, and
Durant came flying in from the top rope and they
had even more success. But you look at what he
(33:15):
has done in Brooklyn with Kyrie Irving. That was supposed
to be a super team didn't. We're gonna went to Phoenix.
When he went to Phoenix, all Devin Booker, Durant, and
then they added Bradley Beal and the Sons were loaded.
Oh man, who's going to beat the Suns? Everybody everyone's
gonna beat the Suns. No one's gonna lose the Sun.
So you had that, uh, and so at this point
(33:37):
he said, numbers are not terrible, Kevin Durant. But you're like, eh,
likely not not going to be that guy. We're gonna
have Mallardy third degree coming up in a minute time.
Now for the insta trivia, and here it is Mariners
star cal Raleigh, the big dumper. Cal Rawley had has
nineteen home runs and that has broken a tie with
(33:59):
Black for the most home runs by a primary position
catcher in the first fifty three games of the season.
This is no one of those fugazi stats, but we'll
engage in it.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Why not.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
They just picked out fifty three games as the denominator
that they will use for this stat. But again, if
you'd like to answer it on X at Ben Mahler,
that's at Ben Maler. Marinerstar cal Rawley has nineteen home
runs that has broken a tie with Blank for the
most by a primary position catcher in his team's first
fifty three games of a season.
Speaker 2 (34:33):

tie with Blank for the most by a primary position
catcher in his team's first fifty three games of a season.
And on these stats that you manipulate to get a
(35:51):

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Mike in Colorado said, Mike Piazza the met as the answer.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Who else do we have page down?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Let's hear Trucker Joe says, the greatest catcher of all
blind Scott or Sabrina. Terry Kennedy guessed by DJ Spin
it's his answer. Terry in England says the Dallas Dumper

Speaker 6 (37:46):
Is? That?
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Is not Benny the Bopper.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
The correct answer, the correct answer to the instit trivia
is none other than Roy Campanella.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
The nine team fifty five Brooklyn Dodgers. Roy Puanella is
the answer. It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 3 (38:04):
To the third degree, this is one big event, gets grilled?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
All right?
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Good.
Speaker 7 (38:11):
It is being reported by an NBA insider that, thanks
to Jason Tatum's injury and rumors of the Celtics breaking
up their core, that Joannis and Tenna Kumbo could stay
with the Bucks for at least one more season. But
do you think the state of the Celtics changes things
for the Greek freak?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, he's not going to the Celtics. That's not that's
not happening. Celtics is trying to if they if they
do start picking the team apart. They're gonna unload salaries,
So why would they bring in one of the highest
paid players in the NBA that made any sense why
he would go there.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
It's gonna be Miami or you'll.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Go to the Lakers or the Clippers or the Knicks,
and one of those teams is not going well. Not
going to stay with the Bucks because the Celtics are
gonna get on. He's gonna stay with the Bucks because
they're gonna suck. Because the Lillard's out next year, He's
gotta pop the Kills next.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
The Red Sox are now under five hundred and then
fall in the fourth place in the Al East, and
this has sparked rumors about Alex Corra's future being in doubt.
Ben is the end near for Cora's Boston tenure.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Well, I'm not boots on the ground, but my people
in Boston are telling me that Cora's checked out.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
That's what they're saying, that he's just not into it.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
This whole graduation kerfluffle where his daughter graduated in the
morning and he couldn't make the game at night because
he had a dinner to attend that did not go
over well with the natives in Boston, and it's just
he's coddling the third basement Rafael Devers, who's a dh
now and refuses to play any other position than dash
and Alice Core is protecting him.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
That's not going over well with the people in Boston.
Speaker 7 (39:40):
He's in.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
He's definitely in jeopardy.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
They did They just gave him a new contract, though
so unlikely to be fired in like the next month.
Speaker 7 (39:46):
Next eating legend, Joey Chestnutt broke his own popcorn eating
record on Memorial Day inhaling forty two servings in just
eight minutes. And Ben, if you were forced to compete
in an eating contest, which food would you perform best with?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Well, my go to is the chick finger, But I
could like the popcorn. Things very difficult if it's buttered popcorn.
I could do two buckets of the movie theater.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
But that's there.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I'm pushing it at my my biggest but chicken fingers.
How about jelly beans? I can eat a lot of
jelly beans?
Speaker 5 (40:14):
All right?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
How did we do you pass the same?
