Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka laka. It's our or three.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Our number three is ready for me. It's ready for you.
So we go to Miami. How did Dolphin coach Mike
McDaniel passionately claiming he doesn't give a blank about Jalen
Ramsey being stuck in purgatory?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Sound to you.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
We'll play some audio. Also, longtime shortstop Derek Jeter l
Capitan has been fingered as the reason as the reason
the for the Yankees Old Timers game cancelation.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
That is a blank.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
And Major League Baseball has acquired an undisclosed minority stake
in jomboy media. What's the verdict on this one. We'll
talk about all of that and more right now here.
It is our number three. It is dolphinitely a splash,
it for sure. Welcome in up beginning of another hour

(01:03):
of the Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
We are in the air, eywhere that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
We crowd around the magic audio device and have military
precision unless we don't coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the mast and sharply, powerful microphones of fs.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Are am monating live.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
From the chair, not the electric chair, the armchair critic chair.
That's where We are here from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
as approved by Arik in Minnesota and Jonathan in Delaware.
They both give that the big thumbs up. And this
portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible in part
by our friends at ti Iraq. Smell that that's the

(01:53):
smell the tires, and the people the ti Iraq can
tell you what tire based on the smell. They're that good.
They can smell the tire before you even know what
you're looking at. For over forty years, tyre Rack has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive. Even Scrooge knows that he knows
that ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack

(02:17):
dot Com the way tire buying should be. So there
was a full moon. We learned earlier from our friend Andrea,
the full Moon Cosmic correspondent that it's the strawberry Moon.
So there's been some craziness going on in the world.
In the sporting world. On overnight talk radio, there's been
some Zaneus and with that basey, we now move on

(02:38):
to South Florida. A lot of OTAs, Mandatory workouts going on.
Mandatory workouts going on here now. The Dolphins are one
of the teams that are having some OTAs this week,
and defensive back Jalen Ramsey a popular name on the
gossip mill of the NFL. So Jayalen Ramsey was a
no show at the mandatory mini camp. Whoa, uh yeah,

(03:02):
so he didn't show up. The franchise trying to send
him somewhere else in the portal. They're having some issues
with that.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
His absence is seen as significant because he was supposed
to be traded by now he hasn't been traded. The
Dolphins don't have a particularly great defense, and he is
a name brand player. However, the coach, Mike McDaniel brushing
it off as an off the field the distraction and

(03:31):
the line of questioning instead keeping the focus on those
who are at the Dolphin camp, which is a normal response.
We've heard that said different ways, but not with the
razmataz that the Dolphin coach Mike McDaniel brought up.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
So if you didn't hear this, maybe not.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
When asked if he was surprised that Jalen Ramsey and
the Dolphins had yet to find a resolution to the
trade situation. Well, McDaniel gave a very blunt response. Let's
go to the audio tape.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Take I don't give it about what I feel. Okay,
I'm not I don't even really go down that road
of how do I feel about it? My job is to.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
React and control my controllables and make sure that people
are moving in one direction appropriately. Okay. So the beginning
of that, I believe will be a great drop. We'll
get to that in a second. I believe that'll be
a great drop. So let us discuss the question, how
did Dolphin coach Mike McDaniel passionately claiming that he doesn't

(04:36):
give a blank, that's the s word, give a blank
about Jalen Ramsey being stuck in purgatory.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
How did that sound to you?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
So I've got Star Trek, Vinyl record, and dive bar,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to draw the short straw. Is what
we're going to do. So, first of all, Mike McDaniel,
I hadn't seen this guy in a few months. Football
season ended for the Dolphins a while ago, but Mike

(05:08):
McDaniel continues to be in all you can eat buffet
of zingers.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
A zinger here, a zinger there, a zinger there, a
zinger everywhere.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
From Mike McDaniel, he still looks like he got lost
on his way to a job interview in the Silicon
Valley there and he was.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Gonna go to an interview.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
He was gonna be part of a group that was
going to start up some tech company, and then for
some reason he ended up going to the wrong interview
and he became a football coach.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
He got the Dolphin job by mistake.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
He really was just going to some pitch meeting to
have some dot com company, some internet based company, and
not exactly out of central casting for a head football coach.
He doesn't, he doesn't look, he doesn't act like a
head football coach. And as for the actual words, the
meat of the matter, when you say I don't give

(06:01):
an s when you say that, that is coach speak.
And again I use the Mallard Rosetta stone. That is
coach speak for we have no leverage with the player.
No one wants the player, Our asking price is too
high for the player.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
We're parked, right, We're screwed.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
So I'm pretending not to care because if I if
I tell you my real emotion, you wouldn't like that.
So instead, I don't give an s Classic Star Trek
deflector shield, Beam me up, Scottie deflector shield that you
can only pretend not to care for so long, right,

(06:42):
I mean, we know that you really care. You know
you care because it was supposed to be taken care of.
It hasn't been taken here McDaniel knows. Also the front
office there is likely at this point begging someone to
take Jalen Ramsey tag up. Nobody wants him, and as
great as he was, Jalen Ramsey is seen as a

(07:05):
diminishing asset at this point, which means teams would be
willing to trade for him.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
But I give up that much for him.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I mean he's banged up, he's a high priced defensive back,
he's got diva tendencies, and some say he's rotting like
sushi old sushi. Now, as for the sound bite, I
would like to add this to our arsenal. Now I've
requested her last couple months sound bites. They normally don't
get put in the system and so it probably will
be lost in time unfortunately. But the beginning of this

(07:32):
Mike McDaniel thing is what we call evergreen. The beginning
of this sound bite is generic, and we could play
it after every Dolphin loss or Dolphin win. So let
can we just play the beginning of that SoundBite where
he says, I don't give an s because I think this.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Let's play that. Let's hear that. Let's hear this.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
I don't give it about.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay, there you go. Let's play a little longer. Let's
see what the next line is. Maybe we can save
a little long. Let's played again. Play.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
I don't give it about what I feel.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I don't give it a blank about what I feel.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
So hey, coach McDaniel, your team just lost to the
Buffalo Bills by three touchdowns. And Tua looks like he
just learned how to play football today and he's he's
still learning.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Your thoughts, I don't give it about what I feel.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Okay, thank you?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
All right? So the Dolphins, coach, are not expected to
win that many games this year. The team's going the
wrong direction. You're on the hot seat. Your thoughts.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
I don't give it about what I feel, Okay, all right?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
What about the price of gas? It seems to be
going up. In summertime, gas will be going up. Does
that bother you?

Speaker 4 (08:42):
I don't give it about what I feel?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Interesting, coach, are you a fan of overnight talk radio? Coach?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
You're McDaniel, Mike McDaniel. We're talking to the Dolphins coach. Coach,
do you listen to the Ben mal Show on Fox?

Speaker 4 (08:54):
I don't give it about what I feel?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Okay, thank you. See that's fun. That's a fun toy.
If you've been with the show a long time. We
used to have the Dave Roberts drop where Dave rob
I really liked him in that spot when Dave Roberts
would bring pitchers in or pinch hitters and they would
literally urinate down their leg and Dave Roberts after the game,

(09:17):
which I really liked him in that spot, and.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
It was a fun. We had that for a long
time on the show.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
He moving on, speaking of baseball, Baseball has been very,
very good to me.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
We go to the Bronx.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
We go to the Brocks where Derek Jeter El Kapitan,
we have learned indirectly, indirectly is responsible for the cancelation
of the iconic Yankees Old Timers game. Derek Jeter is
the reason the Yankees have not had the Old Timers
game recently. He refused to attend. The plot thickens. Derek

(09:48):
Jeter insisted that he would not do it. He was
concerned about being put at shortstop. He said, I'm not
going to not make me play shortstop.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Why.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Well, it turns out that Derek Cheter, all that, machiesma On,
all that is a scaredy cat. Derek Cheeter is afraid
of how he will appear as he is way past
his prime, and he doesn't want to go out there
and play shortstup. So the story was he didn't want
to be pressured into putting on a uniform at all.
Derek Jeter taking a few swings, otherwise letting the world

(10:24):
see that he's not twenty five, he's double that.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now the Yankees backed into.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
A corner, the breathless reporting from the Tri State area
and the Yankees surrendered. So the question long time, long
time shortstop Derek Jeter has been fingered as the reason
for the Yankees Old Timers game cancelation. That is a blank,

(10:52):
So I will play fill in the blank, and I've
got two words. Finyl record as in the iconic song
for Way Back in the Day from Carly Simon. You're
so vain, Derek Jeter, You're so vain. What's wrong now?
Jeter doesn't want anyone to see those gray hairs. I
thought he shaved his head though he has no hair,

(11:14):
so no one will see that. He's about to turn
fifty one, Derek Jeter, which is not a dinosaur, but
it ain't a young pump at that point right. His
response is also on brand. I was thinking about this
when I was making the drive in going through the
parts of LA that are flows down because of the curfew,
and I was saying about it. I was like, Derek Jeter,
this is perfect. This is a perfect story for Jery Jeter.

(11:37):
This guy spent literally decades while playing for the Yankees,
curating his image, the stories about Jeter, and this guy
was hooking up with every model he get his hands on.
But yet he had the wicker basket for the phones.
So he had the wicker basket for the phones, and
he kept it under wraps for the most part. But

(11:59):
he he was a guy that was at a museum,
not the Hall of Fame. He was at the Museum
of perfection. It's like I'm Derrek Jeeter, I'm mister perfect right,
And now the idea that he's out in his fifties
and someone will see him try to run and he'll
pull a hammy. The hammy will go whammy, and I

(12:19):
can't do that. I can't proof. The event gets canceled.
And so Jeter's the guy. Remember his farewell tour. What
a sham that was, the Derek Jeter farewell Tour, which
was choreographed like a Warnered Brothers production. And you think
he suddenly is gonna be okay being that guy, the
old guy who can barely bend over to feel the

(12:41):
ground ball. No chance. And so Derek Jeter, now he
could play nice, right, he could play nice if he
wanted to. He could play nice, and you know, do
what everyone else does in this situation and the normal etiquette.
The normal protocol is to put on that oversized triple
X pinstripe jersey and play one inning, shake a few hands,

(13:02):
and take some photos, kiss, kiss some babies on the
head there and call it today. It sounds like he's
not willing to do that all right now, final thought, quick, right,
So we had a media deal.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Media musings.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Media musings Major League Baseball has acquired They've acquired an
undisclosed minority stake in John Boy Media. That is a popular,
really social media based outfit where our old colleague Chris Rose,

(13:36):
who used to work here, he works over there now
he's been there for a while. So major League Baseball
acquiring a chunk of John Boy Media. What is your
verdict on this one? So this is very good for
the people who are at the very top of the company.
So they get the jackpot, they get the bonanza. Congratulations
for the consumer. It's an old term from the days

(13:59):
of the pirates. There, she blows, Yeah, why now, I
don't consume a lot of their content.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't. I am aware of John Boy.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Media, and some of you send me videos. I guess
the guy that's the Yankee fan that runs it, like
he does these lip reading things which are very popular.
Good for him. So I've seen some of that stuff.
And as I understand it, they are the independent Baseball
They we're not really media, but we're independent, which is

(14:32):
they really are media. They're on social media, so they're independent.
They're not part of the mainstream. That's the big selling point.
We're not part of the mainstream again, this is as
I understand Maybe I'm completely wrong, maybe I'm completely wrong, but.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
As I understand it, that's how they sell.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Themselves, like we're not part of the corporate machine and
we're just doing our thing and all that stuff. And
yet this.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Move reeks of corporate suffocation.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Right, They're just gonna suffocate from the corporate people in
Major League Baseball so they can sell a few T
shirts and have access to the logos of Major League Baseball,
so they can sell those and make some money. It'd
be the equivalent of a suit, some empty suit walking
into a dive bar and there's like real fans in there, right,
They're real fans, you know, just Neanderthal fans, and they're

(15:19):
watching these games on TV. And the corporate suit walks
in there and says, oh, I want to be your friend.
I'm going to buy a round of drinks. I insist
on it. But it's got to be light beer. That's it,
you know. Don't get out of you. We don't want
the light beer. We don't want no part of that.

Speaker 5 (15:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
John Boy Media built its brand's supposed to authenticity and
breaking down plays and all that stuff and anti establishment.
So if your an anti establishment and the establishment buys you.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
You got a problem, right, you got a problem.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
And it's I've been part of when I did local
radio for years. I know how this works. So the
way it works is they will publicly say, now, we're
not going to interfere with the content at all. We
don't believe in interfering and we think it's a great
product and we don't want to interfere. Privately, they will say, well, listen,

(16:16):
you can do whatever you want, but this is a partner.
You know, this is a friend. You wouldn't do something
mean to a friend. You wouldn't upset a friend, would you.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
You wouldn't do that.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
Right.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
So anyway, so supposedly from anti establishment to part of
the establishment, you're gonna get watered down, sanitized, major League
Baseball approved commentary. And yeah, because you're gonna be swallowed
up by the very machine that you were goofed on.
You know, take the bag. Good, you got the bag,

(16:48):
but you're gonna lose your edge and you'll just be
another run of the mill, generic, boring, part of the
corporate machine outfit. And so undisclosed stake also, which is
code for we won't admit how much control we have
as Major League Baseball.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
But don't worry.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
It's enough to get the content we want taken down
the things we don't want. You think they're gonna go
out of the way to rip rob manfraud now no,
probably not right, and ripping the cheating a one thousand
and two one thousand holes No, which will make mister
irrigation happy. Just another Major League Baseball approved megaphone, right,

(17:32):
a big speaker, boombox and all that stuff where the fun,
the fun breakdowns and all that just got a little softer,
a little softer. The shrink flation it takes. Don't have
as much edge anymore. I can shrink those down a
little bit. Shrink drink, drink, shrink, drink.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Anyway, it is the Bean Mallor Show.

or not enough coming up playing this hour the Queen
of Hearts if you want to get a question in
hashtag Queen of Hearts with Loraina. But here's the mallor
riddle of the day. Pass rusher Harold Landry Junior, who
used to play for the Tennessee Titans. He says, the
downside in signing with the Patriots has been blank. He

(18:37):
just joined Mike Vrabel there in Foxborough. So pass rusher.
Harold Landry Junior says, the one downside in signing with
the New England Patriots has been blank. That is the
mallor riddle of the day.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
The answer, We'll get to it and we will.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Do it next.

Speaker 6 (18:55):

Speaker 1 (20:04):
That'll be coming up later this hour. Also too much
or not.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Enough straight ahead as well, and now back to it.
All right, Well that's the song, but they mentioned in
the mallad monologue there you go Lorena controlling the music
there and mixing that song in there. You're so vain,
which is Derek Jeter. It's a wild story. They got
rid of the Yankee Old Tire game. That's the team

(20:27):
that every every generation's had two or three of the
greatest players in baseball, and that was always their thing,
and they stopped doing it here recently because Jeter, because
he's so vain, he does not want to do it.
So they said, Jeter's not doing it, we can't do it.
So they played like a softball game. People didn't like that,
and so it's a it's an interesting story. Time out
for the Mallord Riddle of the day. And here's the

(20:51):
Mallord Riddle of the day. Pass rusher Harold Landry Junior says,
the one downside in signing with the Patriots has been blank,
has been blank. That is the Mather riddle of the day.
What is the answer? And let's see here page down.

(21:11):
Let's see here that no one will celebrate his birthday
anymore because he was born on the same day as
me and Mark Wahlberg just twenty five years later. Oh
there you go. So it would appear that alf the
alien of Pinerter, just had an alien birthday back on
June June fifth.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Two bad.

Speaker 7 (21:33):
We don't celebrate birthdays here on the show.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
We do not. That's what cameos for. There's no celebration
for birthdays, absolutely not. Fird Dog says. The fact that
Boston food blows. He said. Fudgie says, the answer to
the riddle is having to listen to the drop kick
Murphy's that is the issue. No longer hearing the Boston
hater call at the end of the season. Yeah, I

(21:57):
gotta pour one out late night drug tester for the
I was iconic calls from the Boston Hater when he
would mention Zazah, and he would mention butterfingers, burleson, and
there was like a few things he mentioned every call,
this great Boston Hater who he loved and called us
right up until the end. Donkey Sausage says, the venereal

(22:21):
diseases is the answer. Mala prop Guy says, competing with
the gang at seven to eleven for quality time with
blind Scott Lady Sideburn says the food gives him runners
trots is the problem. There is no more orchids of
Asia Massages from Milkman Mike in Colorado, King King Royce

(22:43):
says the answer to the Mallard riddle of the day,
the rules of using the bathroom, The rules of using
the bathroom those wicked nor Easters from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota.
Tom from Cannes City says the downside is having to
give massages to Robert Craft and Slim Tim says the

(23:04):
Digham Frog Slim Tim, that's his answer, his ganja. I'm
enjoying Blue Dream From Tom from Fullerton a slug, Hey
buddy slug in Vegas says the downside is having to
be Robert Kraft's personal massage lotion helper.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Manuel and Guardina says the downside of signing with the
Patriots he has to smell Blind Scott's armpits and clean
up Danny DeVito's garbage truck.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
That would be a problem. Not drinking the kool aid
from JT.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
The Wingman. There's some good answers here. I can go
on on. Robin Minnesota says the taxes is the reason.
All right, let's see one more time here. Pass rusher.
Harold Landry Jr. Says the one downside in signing with
the Patriots has been blank. Alright, Loraina, do you have
an answer?

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Well, he's very interested in the cultural scene there in Boston,
and I think that's been his biggest downside, is he
it's more than he thought.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
So he's overwhelmed by the culture. Yes, okay, that is
a terrible answer, he said. Boston traffic, he says, the
downside come to La. Well, it's a different kind of
traffic because they have worse weather in Boston and most
of the traffic in Boston's underground because they build there's

(24:24):
like a bunch of tunnels under the ground there the
big dig and so it's a lot it's hidden.

Speaker 7 (24:28):
That is kind of cool. Actually, no, it's not. I
heard LA is getting one of those.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
They're digging a hole for the freeway.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
Is an underground freeway system being built?

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Yeah? Really?

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Where's that going to be?

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Under the ground?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Ben?

Speaker 7 (24:39):
Where under under our freeway? Where right underneath us?

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Who would you hear that?

Speaker 3 (24:45):
One of my exes he works in NASA type stuff
up in Portland, and so they're working on the hydraulic.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
Doors for it.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
I know Elon Musk is going to build some underground
tunnel for like a taxi system.

Speaker 7 (24:59):
I love the future.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
I I think it's supposed to be only cars that
aren't human drivable, right, so it'll be elected.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, well those are good if you have a riot.
We learned this week in La with those weymos. Man,
those things burn really good.

Speaker 7 (25:09):
I loved that for them.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
That the waymo that people burning the weymos You moved
your mic. Yeah, the people burning you love that for them?

Speaker 7 (25:17):
I did?

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Really, why do you love that?

Speaker 1 (25:19):
For them? That's vandalism.

Speaker 7 (25:21):
At least no one was inside to get burn.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
And somebody has to pay for that.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
I think they have insurance on those vehicles.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
But Judge, you do understand, Judge, he's leading in batting
average and he's not leading in RBIs. I guess in
the American League he's leading in RBIs, but he's not
leading in home runs. Cal Raleigh cal Raley leads baseball
in home runs. How many he's got twenty six? Judge
has twenty five. Yeah, he's close. They're close. And Judge
does play at a ballpark which is like Williamsport, so

love hitting more home runs.

on pace to hit exactly Derek Jeter. Aaron Judge is
on pace. They hit sixty home runs. Wow, that's pretty good.
How about how about your guy you're a Mets fan,
you're more of a Mets fan that you get Pete Alonzo.
You talk about having a contract year and he can

(28:09):
opt I think he can opt out of the deal.
He sounded like a one year deal with there's some
options or whatever you can get out of it. Alonzo
is on pace to drive in one hundred and fifty runs.
Wow this season and we're we're into June. Now, you
know who has the record we'd man the most RBIs
in the season, the RBI record. You know who it is?
The great Hack Wilson, a functional alcoholic. In nineteen thirty

(28:33):
for the Chicago CuPy he had a one hundred and
ninety one runs bad than in Wow. Yeah, and he
was out of baseball in a few years because he
was a drunk and he couldn't they couldn't play anymore.
So his body like fell apart. He had go from
one hundred. Yeah, and he was out of baseball in

(28:54):
five years after that, and really really out of baseball
within like three years because he was like a part
time player.

Speaker 7 (29:01):
So, so what's up with Derek Jeter?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, so Jeter doesn't want to participate in the Old
Timers Day for the Yankees because he's.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Worth fifty one years old.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah, he thinks he's he thinks he can't play shortstop
and people are gonna want him to play shortstop, and
then he's upset by that. So yeah, you can, you
can play shortstop right now? Weed man, Right, you're older
than Jeter and yeah, not well, but you try and see.
Unlike Jeter, you're not so vain, right, You're like, I'll
do it. I don't care, I'll make it happen.

liking man wearing wedding rings? I never got approached by
any woman until I got married. Just explain this women
dudes with wedding wings.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Yeah I would I would love to explain that, because women,
when they see a man with a wedding ring on,
they're like, oh, not only can I not have this,
this must be a good man. And I love the
idea of a good man. Maybe this good man could
be my good man. But then you just turn that
good man into a bad man, and then the cycle
continues and you got a cheater on your hands.

Speaker 7 (39:29):
Bad, bad, bad.

Speaker 2 (39:33):

in that I would have bought one of those wings
at a pawn shop or something like that.
