Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka, it's our numb birth three. Don't forget
Fifth Hour podcast also lame jokes this week, but fifth
Hour podcast today on this Friday, and here in our
number three talk and Bay's Ball, And was Jackson Merrill
of the Padres shading Juan Soto after his San Diego extension?
(00:23):
Jackson Merrill signing a big extension. You make the call.
Vladimir Guerrero Junior. His extension talks with the Blue Jays
are in jeopardy because of his five hundred million dollar
demand with the Yankees said to be lurking in the shadows,
how do you read the room? And also what is
(00:43):
the scope of unease around Jose Alboub. He suffered the
shame of a five strikeout game in one game on Thursday.
We'll react to that right now here. It is our
number three. It is action. Jackson. Well, come in the
(01:07):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. As
we are in the air everywhere, as we inch forward
inch by inch by inch by it we just keep
slowly inching forward, and eventually, if my calculus is accurate,
(01:28):
we are going to get to where we need to go.
I know, I know, it's amazing. I know, I know.
Try to stay calm as we are in the air
everywhere the monarchy of the Malord Militia coast to coast,
port of the border and beyond on the vast and
(01:49):
rollickingly powerful microphones of FSR emmating live from the wand
as we wave the magic wand we're broadcasting live from
the ti rack dot com studios. Tyre rac dot com
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
pre road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
(02:14):
Spacoli sent a big box with like ten thousand different
things in it. We thank you for that, tire rack
dot com the way tire buying sure be so I lead.
This hour is from baseball and it's a pretty good story.
It's an unusual baseball store. We are going to jump
(02:38):
on at the depot the train, but not just any train,
the money train. We're on the money train. So we
talked about this in a previous episode of this talk show,
Massive Paydays. Everyone's getting paid, right, Everyone's getting paid, getting
a lot of money. The young studs of baseball are
(03:02):
in the money money many and even the sugar nuts
are getting paid so no one of the players get
in the bag. We mentioned his name the other day,
Padre's star outfielder, Jackson Merril, and he signed a not one,
not two, not three, not four, not five, not six,
not seven, not eight. How about a nine year contract.
(03:26):
That's a lot of dough. That's a lot of Mickey
Mouse dollars. For one hundred and thirty five million, nine years,
one hundred and thirty five million. Just happened the other day.
So we mentioned that, but we didn't talk about this
part of the story. So Merril has been the talk
of baseball for his mouth and some are okay with this.
(03:46):
Other people, I can't believe he said that. You shouldn't
say that. Why do you say that, You shouldn't say
that if you didn't hear what he had to say,
maybe not. A lot of social media pundits are convinced
that the audio we're about to play here is Jackson
Merrill taking a low blow, a cheap shot below the
belt at one Soto, who's a former Padre, and his
(04:09):
seven hundred and sixty five million dollar contract with the
New York Metropolitans. And so we'll play the audio and
then we'll decide let's go to the audio tape. Take
a listen.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think just even hearing like an opportunity to sign
with the San Diego Padres is enough for me, you know.
But I also feel like there comes the line where
you know you're worth you know your value. I listen,
I know like there's contracts out there that are beyond absurd.
There are super amounts of money, But having a relationship
with a real human being and a real team like
I have here, you can't beat that.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You can't just sign for seven hundred million dollars and
want everything to be perfect. You know, I got people
all around the clubhouse that are supporting me, supporting my family.
You know, they asked for my personal life every day.
So I'm just gracious for that. And I know that's
gonna be the same way for the next the next
nine years.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Okay, So that is obviously very meaty. There's a lot
of meat on the bone. It's red meat in the lines.
Den and he talked about contracts and people signing deals,
the contracts that are beyond absurd. He really likes the
fact that Padres asked about his personal life. So let
us discuss the question was Jackson Merrill shading Juan Soto
(05:20):
of the Metropolitans after Jackson signed his Padre extension. You
make the call. I love it, you make the call.
So my views on this. I've got pink Elephant, main Street,
Auto square and AirPods, and we will combine all of
these things together and we're gonna make some carne asada
(05:40):
fries and fish tacos, which you can get pretty much
anywhere in San Diego, at least back in the day
when I worked in San Diego. Al right, So first
of all, to answer the question, you know you make
the call, was Jackson Merrill thrown shade at Juan Soto
is a school bus yellow? After a second, long seconds
(06:02):
long deliberation, we did not need to use the malar
branded Rosetta stone. We did not. It is clear and
obvious that Jackson Merrill was sending a message, a message
to the base, to the voters of San Diego. Unlike
the soldier of fortune, the renegade Juan Soto who played
(06:26):
for the Padres, this guy, Jackson Merrill, wants you to
know he loves loves a San Diego and he's not
chasing every dollar. The court takeaway, though, Jackson Merrill was
as graceful as a pink elephant on ice skates right now.
(06:48):
We loved it. And the reason we loved it it
is unbaseball like. Over the last couple of years that
Weasley Commissioner Rob Manfraud has complained that talk shows like
this one and TV talk shows that are like this
one except they have cameras, although we are on YouTube
right now, but baseball's establishment has complained about their lack
(07:13):
of relevance in talk radio. And the reason there is
a lack of relevance, I'll tell you why, is because
there is a lack of these type of stories. This
is an NBA story, this is an NFL story. This
is out of the norms of baseball. It's un baseball
(07:33):
like normally very buttoned up and barring and milk poast
and all that. And Jackson Merrill, who's not a household name,
he's not a household name, but he proved he's not
a buttoned up robot like so many of the other
baseball players. And he went out there and hit a
(07:54):
two bagger. Not only did he bag Juan Soto, but
he also got the bad and very few times can
you sign a contract for one hundred and thirty five
million dollars and then make it seem like you're on
food stamps, right, You're like you're giving back, You're like
(08:15):
Robin Hood. It's wild, but he was able to do it.
Like people, Oh, you're such a such a wonderful guy.
But then when you when you look at one hundred
and thirty five million on one side of the ledger
and then you look at seven hundred and sixty five
million on the other, it's like, well, okay, that makes
some sense, all right. Now. Secondly, oh, now, we will
(08:36):
be having a Mallard meet and greet, not in Toronto,
but in Vancouver coming up at the end of May.
So at the end of next month, the entire show
we'll be going to hang out in the beautiful city
of Vancouver, British Columbia. We're looking forward to that. But
this is a story about the team over in Toronto,
the only Canadian professional baseball team, Vladimir Guerrero Junior, yet
(09:00):
again providing content as we take a stab in the
dark here. So, Vladimir Guerrero Junior's extension talks with the
Blue Jays are said to be in jeopardy that's the
latest report. Because of his five hundred million dollar demand.
The Blue Jays are like, well, we like you and
we want to keep you, but we just you know,
(09:25):
that's a lot of money. So the Yankees are said
to be lurking in the shadows, and there's some chatter
that the Yankees, through back channels and intermediaries are trying
to let Vladimir Guerrero know that they would really love
to add him and that they've got a lot of money,
and that five hundred million dollars they taken number two,
and then the five hundred million comes out, so it's
(09:47):
no big deal. So the Yankees are said to be lurking,
But the Blue Jays are still negotiating and trying to
do the boogie boogie, and they haven't gotten the boogie
boogie done. So how do you read the room? How
do you read the room with vlad Guerrero and everyone's
trying to stay on message and all this. So I
(10:07):
read the room this way. If you look the right
side of the room, you'll see the door is still
open a little bit, just a little bit of the doors.
I love it. So Vladdie was supposed to lock the
door and throw away the key on opening day, but
instead the talks continue a marathon negotiation, waiting through all
(10:31):
the details, right, trying to get something to slip through
the cracks and all that. And so they're going back
and forth. And right now they're at the part of
the negotiation, the Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Junior, they're
at the Main Street Auto Square, Main Street Auto Square,
and they're taking part in endless haggling. They're negotiating the
(10:56):
price of the vehicle. But they also would say, well,
what about this is there right in maybe you can
send us some bats or some old jockstraps. And then
they what kind of warranty do we get on this,
what kind of financing? And so it does appear that
since Vladimir Guerrero Junior has deemed it necessary to keep
(11:17):
talking to the Blue Jays, that he is not hardwired
like Juan Soda, that he's looking to crack the uncrackable
code flattie and make it work in Toronto, right and
all that jazz. Now, the deadline, I know you're very
concerned about the deadline. The deadline for all of this.
We have one hundred and eighteen shopping Days to Go
(11:39):
one hundred and eighteen shopping days to Go. July thirty
first is the Major League Baseball trade deadline. And that's it,
that's all, and you're done skis after that. Now final fault.
So we sidestep to a dramatic, dramatic stat line. The
(12:00):
cheating a trow beat the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. I
know it's always kind of bummed me out when the
cheaters win, but that was not the juicy lucy part
of the story. It is the mighty Mouse scoundrel of
our time. What a scoundrel this guy's who struck out?
(12:23):
The Mighty mouse has struck out? And what do I
mean by that? Well, let me explain Jose al Bovey.
Oh yeah, what is the scope of unease? The scope
of unease around Jose Altuve after he suffered the shame
(12:47):
shame of not one, not two, not three, not four,
but five five strikeouts in one game. So I was
half asleep. There is a day game when this thing started.
But I start getting messages, text messages. I don't I'm
not on social media much during the day, so I'm
(13:08):
getting text messages and it's like, hey, you see how
two Bay's struck out three times, and then it's like,
he struck out four times, he might get one more
at bat, and I'm like, okay, And so then I
flip over that I got the magic box, and I
flip over that, and that fifth strikeout, I gotta tell
you I needed paramedics. I almost overdosed on shod in freude. Yeah,
(13:34):
just taking joy out of others misery. It was great
to see. It's always nice to see when he struggles.
And Altuve if you look at what he's done, and
I don't want to be a shock jock and all that. However,
Altube has his little mini air pods. Their kids size,
they're not at all side. He's got a little many
air pods and he's listening some dire straits because right
(13:56):
now he is at a crossroads, and you could argue
he is in a dire straits part of his career.
They've moved him in the outfield. He's such a suck
bag at second base. He can't play second anymore, so
they moved in the outfield. He was making all kinds
of mistakes out in left field for the cheaters, and
you crank up the Sultan's a swing it's swing in
(14:18):
a miss right five strikeout game. That is another grim warning. Oh,
you just been a shocking talk show host, guy. No,
I'm not. Open your bloody eyes. Open your bloody eyes.
Altuve has looked discombobulated in the outfield, as we said,
(14:39):
and now pitchers are pulling some skullduggery to strike him
out five times in one game. Now, Albouve who will
never make the Hall of Fame because he's dirty and
they don't do that. Altuve, or as we call him, Albouve,
He's in his sixteenth season being a dirty dog in baseball,
(15:03):
and he is fanned more than one hundred times just
once in a season. This year, he is on pace
for one hundred and sixty two strikeouts that would shatter
his career high, would shatter the career. So make a
posted note, make a little note with your chicken scratch.
(15:27):
And it is not looking good. It's not looking good
for the a holes. It's just not It is the

(16:30):

John Cruck is a longtime Philadelphia broadcaster now former baseball
player back in his day. So here's the Mallor Riddle
of the day. John Cruck complained during a recent Phillies

(16:51):
Cruck complained during a Phillies game about Blank. That is

(18:39):
That is right, and Bill as I been in time
now for the Mallord Riddle of the day, and we'll
get back to the Calls Malt Riddle of the day.
John Cruck, he's a former player a long time ago.
Gonna be old, gonna be really old to know who
John Cruck is. Anyway, John Cruck complained he's currently a
(18:59):
TV guy for the Phillies. He complained on NBC Sports
Philadelphia recently on a broadcast about blank. We thought it
was kind of funny, so we made it the riddle
of the day. That is the question, and what is
the answer? See does anyone know the answer to the
riddle of the day? Bergdog says, feeling inadequate next to
(19:21):
all those torpedo bats is the answer? Asher said the
Minecraft movie. By the way, did you know the Yankees
Gian Carlos Stanton used the torpedo bat in the American
League Championship Series of the playoffs last year and nobody
even knew about it, and he won the MVP of
the ALCS using a different bat, and all that media
(19:44):
covering the World series nobody noticed. They said, because the
bat was black, And I guess it didn't stand I
didn't mean that, It just didn't stand out, is what
I meant, all right. Miguel on Fire says, complained about
the all you can eat veggie bar. That that is
the answer. King Roy says his bathroom. Oh man, what
(20:05):
a mess. The Philly fanatic cannot do the malar mash
cannot do it. Who else do we have? Page down?
He complained that you weren't having another malor meet and
greet at the Mermaid? Oh is that alf As hollering James?
That looks like Alps hollering James? What else do we have?
Page down? Having Fats as a next door neighbor, our
(20:27):
buddy Fats in Philadelphia lights himself on fire, says the
name of our show milkman. Mike in Colorado says the
lack of TNA between innings. Very upset about that. Casey
Carr Holler says he probably complained about something outdated and irrelevant,
unlike the twenty seventeen cheating Astros Gunner says he complained
(20:51):
about someone I think he meant spitting in his drink.
I think that's what he meant. He didn't spell that properly.
Dus says he complained to John Cruck about the cheating
a holes. What else we have? Super market? Steve says
Kruk he complained about someone pushing his tush in Philadelphia,
INCA Terror says he complained about blind Scott's whiny voice
(21:16):
a blind on blind crime. JT. The Wingman says he
complained about shopping carts in parking lots big problem. Chris
and Kent Washington writes in he says complained about the
cold water in the bidets in the bathroom. In the
press box, Chiefs Tai Guy writes in the Chiefs Ti
(21:36):
Guy says he complained about who put edibles in his
Philly cheese steak sandwich. What else do we have? Page down?
I can't read that. Complained about intermittent fasting and light
beer from our buddy Perito. Page down. Let's see here.
I can't see that, all right? Do you have an answer, Lorraine?
(22:02):
I know this is going to sound like a very
like mellow answer, but I think he complained about the
bad WiFi. The bad WiFi. Is that your final answer?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
No, wrong, it the correct answer. I thought this funny.
John Kruk complained he got locked out of his email,
couldn't get his email.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Yeah, maybe it was because they had bad WiFi.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Ben, does that make me right? No? No, you're not right.
They had the WiFi. The WiFi was fine, but he
I guess he forgot his password, which is isn't it
really hard to forget your password because isn't like most
people have every password automatically just pops in when you
log into a lot of stuff. Right, Yeah, that is true.
Everything's pretty saved now. Yeah, it's pretty difficult. Jill writes
(22:54):
in She's a party pooper. She says, I hate al Touve.
But see, Jill, you know you said the word but
and you know, Jill as an educated woman, when you
say the word. But everything you said before that is
not true. So you don't really hate al Tuve. You're lying.
You don't hate al Tube. You said I hate al Tuove,
(23:15):
But that means you don't hate al team. That means
you're him. And she says, come on, Ben. The seasons
a week old and it's forty degrees in Minnesota. Here,
it means absolutely nothing that al Tuobe struck out five times.
I disagreet, Jail, I disagree. I have a show to
do today and I am projecting throughout the season what's
(23:36):
gonna happen based on what we have seen so far.
And here's what I've seen so far from al tub
in the last month. I have seen him absolutely play
little league level defense in the outfield of spring training.
I just saw him, for the first time in his
career strike out five times in a game. That's what
I've seen. Like you're saying, well, he's gonna be fine,
(23:57):
a you don't know that to be true. Based on
what he has done recently. Judging him on his own
merits not good, not good at all, not good. Super
maricous Steves also complaining he's he's taking a different This
guy complains about everything supermarket steeds. He says, to only
(24:17):
dedicate a quarter of a Mallard monologue to the Alboove
story is unacceptable. We need to have daily coverage of
the a Holes downfall. Next. We need Springer and that
loser Bregman to go out with some kind of injuries.
There You go all right, anyway, it is the Ben
(24:39):
Maler Show, as we are working our way through the
overnight and the fun fact of the hour, and do
we have the fun fact? We have the Ben Maler
fun Facts. Curtsey of the fun Fact benefactor, Alf the
Alien Opplinter. He says that Christian Campbell, Kristen Campbell, they're
(24:59):
the Red Sox, the second player in Red Sox history
to have five or more extra base hits in his
first six career games at age twenty two or younger.
There's so many qualifiers on that it's embarrassing. But whatever.
The other one to do it was Ted Williams. He's
on ice right now. Wow, Ted's gonna get the last
(25:20):
laugh on all of us. We'll all be dead and
Ted will be back. Is it dan Ice or thick Ice?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Man?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Well, I want to understand it's thick Ice somewhere in Arizona,
double ce or Ck. That's how there's a lot going on.
Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to hollering
James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello hollering James, Hey, Ben, thank
you for getting to me.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I thought my phone was gonna die. All right, it's
a lie.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Ben Let's spratch and.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Red Rover shokes. Thank you, Okay, thank you for the call, James,

check that out and let's see this. Go back to
the calls. We'll say hello to Andrea, the astrology lady,
and so far she's been right about Aaron Rodgers. He
says he's waiting until Mercury's out of retrograde, and we're
getting close. Three days to go, three days to go.
(27:43):
Today's the fourth day, April, and my correct Andrea, April
seventh is the Yes.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Just wanted to double check. I believe you might have
said April ninth, and I wanted to make sure.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Oh no, no, no, no, okay, So I said April because
he's supposed to appear on the the McAfee YouTube show.
Oh I see, and there's a lot of internet chatter
that Rogers is going to say something on April nights.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah. No, I've watched that show and I wouldn't put
it past him because it's a pretty lively experience and
it gets a lot of viewership, so that would you know. Basically,
Mercury's out of retrograde April seventh, so anytime after that
would be ideal. But like I said, it's not a
(28:32):
one hundred percent strengths till two weeks after when it
gets back to the degree at first retrograded at But
everything else being equal, Fallen has some purposes been You're right,
and April seventh, for all the Mala Militia, all your listeners,
Mercury is out of retrograde. So yeah, take too long
(28:54):
for him to sign on the dotted line. After that,
all right.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
We'll find out and then you can take a victory lap.
You can walk around like a peacock with your feathers
up in the air everywhere everyone can can look at
you here, and so only a few more days to
go here, Only a few more days.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Yes, and for all of us that would be really
a welcome relief to have Mercury out of retrograde. And
I'm sure we're all looking forward to it as well
as Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well, I'm sure, and certainly weed Man hippie. Uh remember
remember that year that you brought that up and he
lost his mind. He was freaking out because of that.
Oh my, he was so upset by that. Yeah, he
was gonna do We were gonna do the Vegas and one.
He was gonna be the one man show, Benny and
the weed Man. He was going to rent out of
Vegas Theater. And then like a bunch of stuff happened.
(29:43):
When Merchery is in retrograde and he just lost he
just lost it.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh. Interesting, Well, astrology is a great permission giver, so
it's always nice to know what cycles were in so
we can you know, optimize the positive cycles and mitigate
the challenge.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Absolutely absolutely. All right, Well, thank you, Andrew, have a
great weekend, and I'm sure we'll talk early next week.
Thank you, all right, and Salo and Andrews. She's the
astrology lady Virgo in service on x He's a big
fan of the show and she loves sports media. She does.
Now it is Final four weekend. Did you know that?
(30:22):
Did you know where a Final four weekend? Did know this? Yes? Yeah,
tomorrow we got double barrel action in San Antonio, the Alamo.
Now that's a city. You don't know this, Lorena, but
I've had I've gone to battle against the good people
of San Antonio in the past. We did not know this. Yes,
I was in a war, a sports media war over
(30:43):
Mano Genobili. Not only was San Antonio but also Argentina.
So I mean we had a it was a bloodbat.
They were doing stories on the news in Argentina about
something I said about Manu Genobili, who had played for
the Spurs. It was a big disaster. Is such a bowlly? No,
I'm not. I just give takes. That's all I'm paid
(31:03):
by the take. I'm a dancing clown, is what I am.
With that said, we got Florida Auburn. That is the
early game. What is that six o nine Eastern as
I believe I'm not correct on that. And then the

did Lizzo? These are actual jokes in and my actual
listeners to the show at Benmallorshow at gmail dot com.
Ben malorshow at gmail dot com. Why did Lizzo decide
to leave the theater just as the film was about
to start. Why because they flashed a message on the
screen to turn off your cell phone, and her cell
(34:30):
phone was in her car. That's a that's a good joke.
That's Georgie and Ubaldi, Texas. How big is Lizzo's belly button?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
How big?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
It's so big she can use her lint to make
a sweater. How about that? That's a noah noah in Austin. Well,
what dietarry change allowed Lizzo to lose weight?
Speaker 5 (35:00):
What?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Well, it turns out, weed man, she realized that her
food pyramid was upside down. You see that's a chip
in Maine. Do you even know what the food pyramid is?
Weed man? Do you even know what I did? Oh?
You do? Okay?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
All right?
Speaker 1 (35:16):

you hear about that?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
What?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
It's a tribute to the thousands who feed her takes
a village? That's true in Minnesota? Did you hear Lizzo
is a longtime Chicago Bears fan. Yeah? Yeah, Her parents
taught her about the refrigerator back in the day. She's
always left to do. That's Georgia and Uvaldi. Yeah, that's right,
(35:48):
you know him. Well, what piece of furniture was inspired
by weed man hippie? What the lazy boy? That joke
you never get sold? That's econ Roseville, Minnesota. How does
weed man hippie clean his mouth?
Speaker 5 (36:07):
How?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Well, A lot of people don't know this, but you'll
use toothless paste is what you use. Buttermilk Cavo set
that one in when weed Man got divorced, his wife
took his entire marijuana stash. But hear about that weed man?
Oh no, yeah, yeah, you're fighting for joint custody is
what you're fighting for. That that's from Larry. What does

Speaker 1 (36:40):
No wavos? All right, that's tell Tony Tony in the
Bay Area. They're very nice. Let's see your coop got
any jokes over there? Coop, No, see, A couple of
people sent me some. But you guys gotta understand what
I can actually read on the air. Oh I get,
I get so many offensive jokes. I can't read most
of the jokes. Again, I can't read again. They don't.
(37:02):
They don't get it. You know, they're trying to get
fired and they're funny jokes. I don't I think they're
changed the words. Yeah, it's it's still on the on
the margin. Yeah, you know, all right. Weed Man asked
Lorena out out on a day, but she politely declined.
You're about that, weed Man. You asked Lorena out?
Speaker 5 (37:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yeah, she apparently she told you long distance relationships are tough,
and and later in the days she told her friends
that you seem like a nice guy, but somehow you
just didn't pass the smell test. Dude man outside Tom
in Indiana. Why is weed man? Uh? Why why is
(37:45):
he avoiding all the Florida spring Breakers? Why? Apparently he
got sick and tired of the frat boys shouting show
us your teeth. That's Terry Carry and Saint Paul Minnesota
sent that one in. Thank you for that. Let's see here,
the Dodgers had yet to lose a game this season,
(38:08):
week man. Yeah wow, Yeah. More impressive is how long
we meant hippie has gone losing his teeth? That's George
in Rochester, Minnesota's Big Ben's lame jokes a week. Here,
Amazon has a new service just for listeners like angry Bill.
Really yes, it's called Pastor Prime is what it's called.
(38:31):

that was right, Thank you week man. There you go,
lame jokes of the week right there.
Boom, Shaka laka, it's our numb birth three. Don't forget
Fifth Hour podcast also lame jokes this week, but fifth
Hour podcast today on this Friday, and here in our
number three talk and Bay's Ball, And was Jackson Merrill
of the Padres shading Juan Soto after his San Diego extension?
(00:23):
Jackson Merrill signing a big extension. You make the call.
Vladimir Guerrero Junior. His extension talks with the Blue Jays
are in jeopardy because of his five hundred million dollar
demand with the Yankees said to be lurking in the shadows,
how do you read the room? And also what is
(00:43):
the scope of unease around Jose Alboub. He suffered the
shame of a five strikeout game in one game on Thursday.
We'll react to that right now here. It is our
number three. It is action. Jackson. Well, come in the
(01:07):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. As
we are in the air everywhere, as we inch forward
inch by inch by inch by it we just keep
slowly inching forward, and eventually, if my calculus is accurate,
(01:28):
we are going to get to where we need to go.
I know, I know, it's amazing. I know, I know.
Try to stay calm as we are in the air
everywhere the monarchy of the Malord Militia coast to coast,
port of the border and beyond on the vast and
(01:49):
rollickingly powerful microphones of FSR emmating live from the wand
as we wave the magic wand we're broadcasting live from
the ti rack dot com studios. Tyre rac dot com
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
pre road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
(02:14):
Spacoli sent a big box with like ten thousand different
things in it. We thank you for that, tire rack
dot com the way tire buying sure be so I lead.
This hour is from baseball and it's a pretty good story.
It's an unusual baseball store. We are going to jump
(02:38):
on at the depot the train, but not just any train,
the money train. We're on the money train. So we
talked about this in a previous episode of this talk show,
Massive Paydays. Everyone's getting paid, right, Everyone's getting paid, getting
a lot of money. The young studs of baseball are
(03:02):
in the money money many and even the sugar nuts
are getting paid so no one of the players get
in the bag. We mentioned his name the other day,
Padre's star outfielder, Jackson Merril, and he signed a not one,
not two, not three, not four, not five, not six,
not seven, not eight. How about a nine year contract.
(03:26):
That's a lot of dough. That's a lot of Mickey
Mouse dollars. For one hundred and thirty five million, nine years,
one hundred and thirty five million. Just happened the other day.
So we mentioned that, but we didn't talk about this
part of the story. So Merril has been the talk
of baseball for his mouth and some are okay with this.
(03:46):
Other people, I can't believe he said that. You shouldn't
say that. Why do you say that, You shouldn't say
that if you didn't hear what he had to say,
maybe not. A lot of social media pundits are convinced
that the audio we're about to play here is Jackson
Merrill taking a low blow, a cheap shot below the
belt at one Soto, who's a former Padre, and his
(04:09):
seven hundred and sixty five million dollar contract with the
New York Metropolitans. And so we'll play the audio and
then we'll decide let's go to the audio tape. Take
a listen.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think just even hearing like an opportunity to sign
with the San Diego Padres is enough for me, you know.
But I also feel like there comes the line where
you know you're worth you know your value. I listen,
I know like there's contracts out there that are beyond absurd.
There are super amounts of money, But having a relationship
with a real human being and a real team like
I have here, you can't beat that.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You can't just sign for seven hundred million dollars and
want everything to be perfect. You know, I got people
all around the clubhouse that are supporting me, supporting my family.
You know, they asked for my personal life every day.
So I'm just gracious for that. And I know that's
gonna be the same way for the next the next
nine years.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Okay, So that is obviously very meaty. There's a lot
of meat on the bone. It's red meat in the lines.
Den and he talked about contracts and people signing deals,
the contracts that are beyond absurd. He really likes the
fact that Padres asked about his personal life. So let
us discuss the question was Jackson Merrill shading Juan Soto
(05:20):
of the Metropolitans after Jackson signed his Padre extension. You
make the call. I love it, you make the call.
So my views on this. I've got pink Elephant, main Street,
Auto square and AirPods, and we will combine all of
these things together and we're gonna make some carne asada
(05:40):
fries and fish tacos, which you can get pretty much
anywhere in San Diego, at least back in the day
when I worked in San Diego. Al right, So first
of all, to answer the question, you know you make
the call, was Jackson Merrill thrown shade at Juan Soto
is a school bus yellow? After a second, long seconds
(06:02):
long deliberation, we did not need to use the malar
branded Rosetta stone. We did not. It is clear and
obvious that Jackson Merrill was sending a message, a message
to the base, to the voters of San Diego. Unlike
the soldier of fortune, the renegade Juan Soto who played
(06:26):
for the Padres, this guy, Jackson Merrill, wants you to
know he loves loves a San Diego and he's not
chasing every dollar. The court takeaway, though, Jackson Merrill was
as graceful as a pink elephant on ice skates right now.
(06:48):
We loved it. And the reason we loved it it
is unbaseball like. Over the last couple of years that
Weasley Commissioner Rob Manfraud has complained that talk shows like
this one and TV talk shows that are like this
one except they have cameras, although we are on YouTube
right now, but baseball's establishment has complained about their lack
(07:13):
of relevance in talk radio. And the reason there is
a lack of relevance, I'll tell you why, is because
there is a lack of these type of stories. This
is an NBA story, this is an NFL story. This
is out of the norms of baseball. It's un baseball
(07:33):
like normally very buttoned up and barring and milk poast
and all that. And Jackson Merrill, who's not a household name,
he's not a household name, but he proved he's not
a buttoned up robot like so many of the other
baseball players. And he went out there and hit a
(07:54):
two bagger. Not only did he bag Juan Soto, but
he also got the bad and very few times can
you sign a contract for one hundred and thirty five
million dollars and then make it seem like you're on
food stamps, right, You're like you're giving back, You're like
(08:15):
Robin Hood. It's wild, but he was able to do it.
Like people, Oh, you're such a such a wonderful guy.
But then when you when you look at one hundred
and thirty five million on one side of the ledger
and then you look at seven hundred and sixty five
million on the other, it's like, well, okay, that makes
some sense, all right. Now. Secondly, oh, now, we will
(08:36):
be having a Mallard meet and greet, not in Toronto,
but in Vancouver coming up at the end of May.
So at the end of next month, the entire show
we'll be going to hang out in the beautiful city
of Vancouver, British Columbia. We're looking forward to that. But
this is a story about the team over in Toronto,
the only Canadian professional baseball team, Vladimir Guerrero Junior, yet
(09:00):
again providing content as we take a stab in the
dark here. So, Vladimir Guerrero Junior's extension talks with the
Blue Jays are said to be in jeopardy that's the
latest report. Because of his five hundred million dollar demand.
The Blue Jays are like, well, we like you and
we want to keep you, but we just you know,
(09:25):
that's a lot of money. So the Yankees are said
to be lurking in the shadows, and there's some chatter
that the Yankees, through back channels and intermediaries are trying
to let Vladimir Guerrero know that they would really love
to add him and that they've got a lot of money,
and that five hundred million dollars they taken number two,
and then the five hundred million comes out, so it's
(09:47):
no big deal. So the Yankees are said to be lurking,
But the Blue Jays are still negotiating and trying to
do the boogie boogie, and they haven't gotten the boogie
boogie done. So how do you read the room? How
do you read the room with vlad Guerrero and everyone's
trying to stay on message and all this. So I
(10:07):
read the room this way. If you look the right
side of the room, you'll see the door is still
open a little bit, just a little bit of the doors.
I love it. So Vladdie was supposed to lock the
door and throw away the key on opening day, but
instead the talks continue a marathon negotiation, waiting through all
(10:31):
the details, right, trying to get something to slip through
the cracks and all that. And so they're going back
and forth. And right now they're at the part of
the negotiation, the Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Junior, they're
at the Main Street Auto Square, Main Street Auto Square,
and they're taking part in endless haggling. They're negotiating the
(10:56):
price of the vehicle. But they also would say, well,
what about this is there right in maybe you can
send us some bats or some old jockstraps. And then
they what kind of warranty do we get on this,
what kind of financing? And so it does appear that
since Vladimir Guerrero Junior has deemed it necessary to keep
(11:17):
talking to the Blue Jays, that he is not hardwired
like Juan Soda, that he's looking to crack the uncrackable
code flattie and make it work in Toronto, right and
all that jazz. Now, the deadline, I know you're very
concerned about the deadline. The deadline for all of this.
We have one hundred and eighteen shopping Days to Go
(11:39):
one hundred and eighteen shopping days to Go. July thirty
first is the Major League Baseball trade deadline. And that's it,
that's all, and you're done skis after that. Now final fault.
So we sidestep to a dramatic, dramatic stat line. The
(12:00):
cheating a trow beat the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. I
know it's always kind of bummed me out when the
cheaters win, but that was not the juicy lucy part
of the story. It is the mighty Mouse scoundrel of
our time. What a scoundrel this guy's who struck out?
(12:23):
The Mighty mouse has struck out? And what do I
mean by that? Well, let me explain Jose al Bovey.
Oh yeah, what is the scope of unease? The scope
of unease around Jose Altuve after he suffered the shame
(12:47):
shame of not one, not two, not three, not four,
but five five strikeouts in one game. So I was
half asleep. There is a day game when this thing started.
But I start getting messages, text messages. I don't I'm
not on social media much during the day, so I'm
(13:08):
getting text messages and it's like, hey, you see how
two Bay's struck out three times, and then it's like,
he struck out four times, he might get one more
at bat, and I'm like, okay, And so then I
flip over that I got the magic box, and I
flip over that, and that fifth strikeout, I gotta tell
you I needed paramedics. I almost overdosed on shod in freude. Yeah,
(13:34):
just taking joy out of others misery. It was great
to see. It's always nice to see when he struggles.
And Altuve if you look at what he's done, and
I don't want to be a shock jock and all that. However,
Altube has his little mini air pods. Their kids size,
they're not at all side. He's got a little many
air pods and he's listening some dire straits because right
(13:56):
now he is at a crossroads, and you could argue
he is in a dire straits part of his career.
They've moved him in the outfield. He's such a suck
bag at second base. He can't play second anymore, so
they moved in the outfield. He was making all kinds
of mistakes out in left field for the cheaters, and
you crank up the Sultan's a swing it's swing in
(14:18):
a miss right five strikeout game. That is another grim warning. Oh,
you just been a shocking talk show host, guy. No,
I'm not. Open your bloody eyes. Open your bloody eyes.
Altuve has looked discombobulated in the outfield, as we said,
(14:39):
and now pitchers are pulling some skullduggery to strike him
out five times in one game. Now, Albouve who will
never make the Hall of Fame because he's dirty and
they don't do that. Altuve, or as we call him, Albouve,
He's in his sixteenth season being a dirty dog in baseball,
(15:03):
and he is fanned more than one hundred times just
once in a season. This year, he is on pace
for one hundred and sixty two strikeouts that would shatter
his career high, would shatter the career. So make a
posted note, make a little note with your chicken scratch.
(15:27):
And it is not looking good. It's not looking good
for the a holes. It's just not It is the

Mallard Riddle of the day. Guy that I actually used
to come to our building and do some shows every
once in a while. John Cruck in the early days
of Fox Sports Radio. He's working on a show called
the Best Damn Sports Show Period with Tom Looney, and
(16:30):
he would come by every once in a while. So
John Cruck is a longtime Philadelphia broadcaster now former baseball
player back in his day. So here's the Mallor Riddle
of the day. John Cruck complained during a recent Phillies
broadcast about Blank. In the middle of a broadcast, John
(16:51):
Cruck complained during a Phillies game about Blank. That is
the Malor Riddle of the day. Hey, the answer, We'll
get to it and we will.

That's all bronc Hey, amazing interactions like that, I want
a steamer coming up later this hour, Big bangs, lame
jokes of the week with high upside, high upside coming
up later on. But right now back to it we go.
(18:39):
That is right, and Bill as I been in time
now for the Mallord Riddle of the day, and we'll
get back to the Calls Malt Riddle of the day.
John Cruck, he's a former player a long time ago.
Gonna be old, gonna be really old to know who
John Cruck is. Anyway, John Cruck complained he's currently a
(18:59):
TV guy for the Phillies. He complained on NBC Sports
Philadelphia recently on a broadcast about blank. We thought it
was kind of funny, so we made it the riddle
of the day. That is the question, and what is
the answer? See does anyone know the answer to the
riddle of the day? Bergdog says, feeling inadequate next to
(19:21):
all those torpedo bats is the answer? Asher said the
Minecraft movie. By the way, did you know the Yankees
Gian Carlos Stanton used the torpedo bat in the American
League Championship Series of the playoffs last year and nobody
even knew about it, and he won the MVP of
the ALCS using a different bat, and all that media
(19:44):
covering the World series nobody noticed. They said, because the
bat was black, And I guess it didn't stand I
didn't mean that, It just didn't stand out, is what
I meant, all right. Miguel on Fire says, complained about
the all you can eat veggie bar. That that is
the answer. King Roy says his bathroom. Oh man, what
(20:05):
a mess. The Philly fanatic cannot do the malar mash
cannot do it. Who else do we have? Page down?
He complained that you weren't having another malor meet and
greet at the Mermaid? Oh is that alf As hollering James?
That looks like Alps hollering James? What else do we have?
Page down? Having Fats as a next door neighbor, our
(20:27):
buddy Fats in Philadelphia lights himself on fire, says the
name of our show milkman. Mike in Colorado says the
lack of TNA between innings. Very upset about that. Casey
Carr Holler says he probably complained about something outdated and irrelevant,
unlike the twenty seventeen cheating Astros Gunner says he complained
(20:51):
about someone I think he meant spitting in his drink.
I think that's what he meant. He didn't spell that properly.
Dus says he complained to John Cruck about the cheating
a holes. What else we have? Super market? Steve says
Kruk he complained about someone pushing his tush in Philadelphia,
INCA Terror says he complained about blind Scott's whiny voice
(21:16):
a blind on blind crime. JT. The Wingman says he
complained about shopping carts in parking lots big problem. Chris
and Kent Washington writes in he says complained about the
cold water in the bidets in the bathroom. In the
press box, Chiefs Tai Guy writes in the Chiefs Ti
(21:36):
Guy says he complained about who put edibles in his
Philly cheese steak sandwich. What else do we have? Page down?
I can't read that. Complained about intermittent fasting and light
beer from our buddy Perito. Page down. Let's see here.
I can't see that, all right? Do you have an answer, Lorraine?
(22:02):
I know this is going to sound like a very
like mellow answer, but I think he complained about the
bad WiFi. The bad WiFi. Is that your final answer?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
No, wrong, it the correct answer. I thought this funny.
John Kruk complained he got locked out of his email,
couldn't get his email.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Yeah, maybe it was because they had bad WiFi.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Ben, does that make me right? No? No, you're not right.
They had the WiFi. The WiFi was fine, but he
I guess he forgot his password, which is isn't it
really hard to forget your password because isn't like most
people have every password automatically just pops in when you
log into a lot of stuff. Right, Yeah, that is true.
Everything's pretty saved now. Yeah, it's pretty difficult. Jill writes
(22:54):
in She's a party pooper. She says, I hate al Touve.
But see, Jill, you know you said the word but
and you know, Jill as an educated woman, when you
say the word. But everything you said before that is
not true. So you don't really hate al Tuve. You're lying.
You don't hate al Tube. You said I hate al Tuove,
(23:15):
But that means you don't hate al team. That means
you're him. And she says, come on, Ben. The seasons
a week old and it's forty degrees in Minnesota. Here,
it means absolutely nothing that al Tuobe struck out five times.
I disagreet, Jail, I disagree. I have a show to
do today and I am projecting throughout the season what's
(23:36):
gonna happen based on what we have seen so far.
And here's what I've seen so far from al tub
in the last month. I have seen him absolutely play
little league level defense in the outfield of spring training.
I just saw him, for the first time in his
career strike out five times in a game. That's what
I've seen. Like you're saying, well, he's gonna be fine,
(23:57):
a you don't know that to be true. Based on
what he has done recently. Judging him on his own
merits not good, not good at all, not good. Super
maricous Steves also complaining he's he's taking a different This
guy complains about everything supermarket steeds. He says, to only
(24:17):
dedicate a quarter of a Mallard monologue to the Alboove
story is unacceptable. We need to have daily coverage of
the a Holes downfall. Next. We need Springer and that
loser Bregman to go out with some kind of injuries.
There You go all right, anyway, it is the Ben
(24:39):
Maler Show, as we are working our way through the
overnight and the fun fact of the hour, and do
we have the fun fact? We have the Ben Maler
fun Facts. Curtsey of the fun Fact benefactor, Alf the
Alien Opplinter. He says that Christian Campbell, Kristen Campbell, they're
(24:59):
the Red Sox, the second player in Red Sox history
to have five or more extra base hits in his
first six career games at age twenty two or younger.
There's so many qualifiers on that it's embarrassing. But whatever.
The other one to do it was Ted Williams. He's
on ice right now. Wow, Ted's gonna get the last
(25:20):
laugh on all of us. We'll all be dead and
Ted will be back. Is it dan Ice or thick Ice?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Man?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Well, I want to understand it's thick Ice somewhere in Arizona,
double ce or Ck. That's how there's a lot going on.
Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to hollering
James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello hollering James, Hey, Ben, thank
you for getting to me.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I thought my phone was gonna die. All right, it's
a lie.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Ben Let's spratch and.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Red Rover shokes. Thank you, Okay, thank you for the call, James,
I appreciate that. Thank you hollering. We'll never know that punchline.

check that out and let's see this. Go back to
the calls. We'll say hello to Andrea, the astrology lady,
and so far she's been right about Aaron Rodgers. He
says he's waiting until Mercury's out of retrograde, and we're
getting close. Three days to go, three days to go.
(27:43):
Today's the fourth day, April, and my correct Andrea, April
seventh is the Yes.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Just wanted to double check. I believe you might have
said April ninth, and I wanted to make sure.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Oh no, no, no, no, okay, So I said April because
he's supposed to appear on the the McAfee YouTube show.
Oh I see, and there's a lot of internet chatter
that Rogers is going to say something on April nights.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah. No, I've watched that show and I wouldn't put
it past him because it's a pretty lively experience and
it gets a lot of viewership, so that would you know. Basically,
Mercury's out of retrograde April seventh, so anytime after that
would be ideal. But like I said, it's not a
(28:32):
one hundred percent strengths till two weeks after when it
gets back to the degree at first retrograded at But
everything else being equal, Fallen has some purposes been You're right,
and April seventh, for all the Mala Militia, all your listeners,
Mercury is out of retrograde. So yeah, take too long
(28:54):
for him to sign on the dotted line. After that,
all right.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
We'll find out and then you can take a victory lap.
You can walk around like a peacock with your feathers
up in the air everywhere everyone can can look at
you here, and so only a few more days to
go here, Only a few more days.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Yes, and for all of us that would be really
a welcome relief to have Mercury out of retrograde. And
I'm sure we're all looking forward to it as well
as Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well, I'm sure, and certainly weed Man hippie. Uh remember
remember that year that you brought that up and he
lost his mind. He was freaking out because of that.
Oh my, he was so upset by that. Yeah, he
was gonna do We were gonna do the Vegas and one.
He was gonna be the one man show, Benny and
the weed Man. He was going to rent out of
Vegas Theater. And then like a bunch of stuff happened.
(29:43):
When Merchery is in retrograde and he just lost he
just lost it.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh. Interesting, Well, astrology is a great permission giver, so
it's always nice to know what cycles were in so
we can you know, optimize the positive cycles and mitigate
the challenge.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Absolutely absolutely. All right, Well, thank you, Andrew, have a
great weekend, and I'm sure we'll talk early next week.
Thank you, all right, and Salo and Andrews. She's the
astrology lady Virgo in service on x He's a big
fan of the show and she loves sports media. She does.
Now it is Final four weekend. Did you know that?
(30:22):
Did you know where a Final four weekend? Did know this? Yes? Yeah,
tomorrow we got double barrel action in San Antonio, the Alamo.
Now that's a city. You don't know this, Lorena, but
I've had I've gone to battle against the good people
of San Antonio in the past. We did not know this. Yes,
I was in a war, a sports media war over
(30:43):
Mano Genobili. Not only was San Antonio but also Argentina.
So I mean we had a it was a bloodbat.
They were doing stories on the news in Argentina about
something I said about Manu Genobili, who had played for
the Spurs. It was a big disaster. Is such a bowlly? No,
I'm not. I just give takes. That's all I'm paid
(31:03):
by the take. I'm a dancing clown, is what I am.
With that said, we got Florida Auburn. That is the
early game. What is that six o nine Eastern as
I believe I'm not correct on that. And then the
late game is at eight forty nine Eastern Houston and Duke.
Duke is favored by five and a half and Florida
(31:25):
is favored by two and a half. Now I'm gonna
tell you right now. Yeah, in terms of the underdogs,
and this is on this all according to DraftKings dot com.
The line's on there and the lines changed. So go
to DraftKings dot com to check it out. Auburn Bruce
Pearl and Auburn to upset Florida. Bruce Pearl and Auburn.
You're getting two and a half. You won't need the
(31:46):
two and a half. They're gonna win the game outright.
Auburn will be playing in the National Championship Game. The
Gators are going down on the and it's my take
on that. So my dog Auburn plus two and a
half there on Saturday, it is the Ben Maller Show.

and and later in the days she told her friends
that you seem like a nice guy, but somehow you
just didn't pass the smell test. Dude man outside Tom
in Indiana. Why is weed man? Uh? Why why is
