Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb birth three talking bass
ball and I like these business stories. I enjoy them.
I thought this was interesting. What was your reaction to
Major League Baseball flirting with Roku as a broadcast partner.
They put some games each weekend on Roku. Also, now

(00:22):
that Julio Urias has settled his legal issues, he's on
probation for several years, does he get another chance in
Major League Baseball? The former Dodger pitcher will bite down
on that one, and we'll go to the NFL where
forty nine er JM. John Lynch was asked about potentially
trading Brandon Ioco Debro Samuel. He said, we're past that now,

(00:45):
do you believe him? We'll get to that. And we
also have Big Ben's lame jokes of the week. It's
all coming your way right now here. It is our
number three changing it up. But is it a wise decity?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well, GM, In the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mallor Show, we are in the air everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
This is a joint effort. It is as we put
shape in a drape coast coast border, the border and
beyond on the mast and spiffingly powerful microphones of fs
are amminating live from the window, the window to the

(01:31):
world as we are broadcasting live from the ti raq
dot Com studios. Tyraq dot Com will help you get
there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers, ten thousand of them
at so many that our friend double Ow Mexican says,

(01:53):
that's almost as many games as Kawhi Leonard has missed
with the Clippers. It's that it's that big a number.
Dot Com the way tire buying show b and our
lead this hour, I'm gonna call this the sports media
world is what we're gonna call this, And just bear
with me. There's a little guilty player. It's kind of

(02:18):
a baseball story. There's a little baseball to it, a
little baseball to it. I could have done a sky
is falling because Nathan Valdi, the ranger pitcher who's so
good in the playoffs, left his start with groin tightness.
Gonna have an MRI, which means he'll probably miss two months.
That's usually how baseball players even get near an MRI machine,

(02:38):
and they have to miss several months. But we're gonna
see a little different here. So we are told that
Major League Baseball and Roku are in advanced talks. That's
the like the smart TV people. They're in advanced talks
to provide Sunday Morning Baseball this season. That was buried

(03:00):
behind a paywall at the Old Gray Lady the Athletic,
and they tell us that NBC is Apparently they're not
quite out of it yet. They had that Peacock deal,
but they're interested in holding on to some of the
baseball package from their Sunday deal. However, they overpaid. They overpaid,

(03:26):
and they paid thirty million dollars to broadcast the games
on Sunday morning. They paid thirty million for the rights,
and they realized they ain't worth thirty million dollars, so
they were trying to renew the contract for about a
third of that price. So you can do the math
in your head. Well, Major League Baseball and Roku they

(03:50):
have yet to officially sign the deal, so it's still
possible the deal will fall apart, but it appears the
fact that they've gone public they're trying to convince NBC
to pay more money or somebody else to pay more money.
But at this point they're heading that direction. So let
us discuss the question, what is your reaction to Major
League Baseball flirting with this rogue coup as a broadcast partner.

(04:11):
So I've got shiver Me, Timbers, Passport, and Tupac and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make pastrami fries. I was just talking
in our production meeting with Lorena about my love of
pastrami fries, and she said she also enjoys a nice

(04:34):
pastrami fry. So first of all, yeah, they're really good.
Let's start here. So this continues Rob Manford's mission statement.
It's not done, it's heading this direction. What is Rob
Manford's mission statement? As the commissioner man fraud of Major
League Baseball, he tries to screw over the fan as
much as possible. We still have ghost runners in baseball.

(04:58):
But this is poor customer. What is the rule? What
are the golden rules of business? It is to make
sure that the customer has easy access to your store
to buy your product. I don't think it's that hard
right that you have to avoid making it difficult to

(05:22):
figure out where the games are being played on what channel.
But Major League Baseball has made it almost impossible for
the casual fan to legally consume the product. And I'm
not even talking about the amount of money you would
have to spend to get all the different channels where
baseball games have popped up. But this becomes a shiver
Me Timbers situation major League Baseball. By putting their games

(05:46):
on all these different channels and streaming services, what they're
doing is they're pushing people to buy a pirate map
and watch the games on the Russian websites. As an industry,
major League Baseball has become a TV scavenger because everything's
changing in television. People are not paying for cable television

(06:10):
have been that way for years, and so the good
news is the streaming companies are gouging people so much
now too that eventually you'll be paying as much as
you used to pay for cable. And then they think, well,
theyll people just go back to cable, but they have
the on demand things, so cable companies have to go
to the on demand format. They have to add that option.
But you have a game here, you have a game there,

(06:33):
you have a game everywhere, and it's only gonna get
worse because the entertainment and sports network that small fledgling
outfit out of Connecticut. They are likely to put an end.
They have a five hundred and fifty million dollars deal
with Major League Baseball to air their Sunday night games,
the home run derby in the first round of the playoffs,
and it appears that will not happen anymore. They're getting

(06:55):
out of that, so they're gonna have to find somebody
else to come up with five hundred million dollars to
pay for their television package. Now, second we go to
the courthouse, why not former Doyer pitcher, the man on
the mound when the Dodgers won the hardest World Series
of all time in a global pandemic, a global pandemic
and a shortened season, How difficult was that scale of difficult?

(07:19):
He won to ten? It was a ten. It was
a ten. So Julio Urrias has pleaded no contest to
a charge of misdemeanor domestic battery. You might remember back
in September of last year, he was arrested on felony
felony domestic violence when he was caught on tape outside
a soccer game in La and he did not keep

(07:41):
his hands to himself. A spokes hack for the District
Attorney's office in LA which has everyone run free, said
why not you? And Rias was a sentence to thirty
six months probation and he has to complete some domestic
violence counseling course and thirty days of a community labor,

(08:02):
so he'll be picking up trash on the side of
the one oh one. In return, four additional misdemeanor charges
against him were dismissed. So now that that's done, Now
that Julio Urrias has settled his legal issues, does he
get another chance to pitch in the big leagues. So
I've got the short and the long game here. The

(08:25):
short game, Forgettabody, Forgettabody. He's got some stink on him.
He's got to get his passport updated and get a
bunch of stamps. Go to Japan, Korea. Timbuck two. The
easy move would be for a guy named Julio URIs
is pitching the Mexican League, but they pay more money

(08:45):
in Japan and Korea. But he also has to go
the Johnny cashway. He's gotta walk the line, keep his
nose clean, and there's a theme to the show. Keep
his hands to himself. Just like Patrick Beverley the Bucks,
who tossed the basket football like he was playing playing
dodgeball with a couple of fans. The other thing for

(09:07):
Rias is you then have to actually pitch well in
whatever for Gaysey league you go to. But I do
see in my crystal ball, and I'm never wrong about
this stuff because I am a distant relative of No
Strenamis and friend of No Stradinas. He lives in Seattle.
But looking into my crystal ball, or As will be
given a shot. And here's why. He turns twenty eight

(09:30):
years old in August. He's left handed, and he's actually
been good. He hadn't been great the Dodgers building him
as being great. He's been good. He has a career
ERA of slightly over three. But more importantly for Urias,
he does not have the level of vitriol around him.
Even though his crime was caught on tape. The baggage

(09:52):
is not close to Trevor Bauer, who is seen as
a revolutionary in baseball circles because of what he has done.
Uli Urias, we'll be pitching somewhere. He'll be suspended by
Major League Baseball, but he'll go somewhere and pitch once
that's over our final thought. So we hop skip and
jump over to the NFL and we talk about this

(10:13):
story all the time. I think it's the most interesting
story in the NFL. Regarding a possible trade the forty
nine ers who gagged in the Super Bowl their GM,
John Lynch was recently asked. John Lynch was asked again
about possibly trading Brandon Ayuk and or Deebo Samuel and
what did Lynch say? Lynch responded, quote, we're past that.

(10:36):
Now here's the question, do you believe John Lynch the
forty nine ers GM. So here's my thought on this.
That is the public position of John Lynch. Privately, right now,
he is doing the backstroke in a pickle jar, so
to quote Tupac, don't trust anyone, especially an NFL executive.

(11:02):
Brandon Ayuck wants to be paid. Deebo Samuel's got one year,
one year left of guaranteed money. So we are heading
towards an intersection, and he's likely going to be released
Deebo after this season, no matter what. And he knows it, right,
he knows it. He's not obtooced to that fact. The

(11:24):
people around him have told him. So what kind of
performance of the Niners gonna get from Deebo Samuel? A
very protective performance that might get hurt because then he's
gonna affect his next contract. He's likely gonna be released
at the end of the season unless the forty nine
Ers give him a new deal prior to that. But
we continue to believe that the forty nine Ers and

(11:46):
Brandon Ayuck both sides are merely waiting for some sign
from the heavens. The bat signal has been put up.
They need an artificial sweetener, at least the forty nine
Ers do, to up the ante. The ball is in
the court of the Steelers and Buffalo. If you want
Brandon Ayuk, you can have him. If you want Deebo Samuel,
you can do that as well. Just give us what

(12:08):
we want and we will take care of you. Because
the Niners already drafted a replacement wide receiver, so they've
already made a move to fill the void, but they
didn't open up the void. It is the Ben Malor Show.
If you'd like to be part, speakeasy rules are in effect.

wrecked recognized New York City. You know how he recognized
New York City from Spider Man. Spider Man, Spider Man, do,
Spider Man, Let's go to El Greco in Canzau City,

(19:14):
the home of the ben Maler chicken fingers in Kansas City. Hello,
El Greco.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
So when he says the Spider Man, is he referring
to Andre Risen or what you know, the former chief.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
And yes, yes, not the cartoon character at all.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
Hey, no, how does it feel to how did you
field the chomp on the throat of Ron Barr?

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Ron Barr? I don't know that I stomped on the
throat of Ron Barr. Why would you? Why would you
say that? Well?

Speaker 5 (19:46):
I just think you're the greatest overnight trivia then?

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Uh, you know, well, well thank you? Ron did? Is
he still around? He's around? He is he Is he
still doing it? Probably not when he was old years ago, right.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
It seems like it. It seem like it.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, Ron did this kind of overnight sports radio for
for many, many years and it was popular. He had
a following and all that. So it's very kind of you,
El Greco to say that. I appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
Well, hey, you know, I'm in the presence of greatness,
speaking of greatness.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, hold on, wait, Greco, take that Eddie and Coop
in the presence of greatness, and you two jackasses spit
a loogie at me in the presence of greatness. Brilliant. Yeah,
And we have been talking, Greco about going to the
Landing there and doing another mal Or meet and greet.

(20:41):
It's not scheduled, nothing scheduled, But I got to get
back to the Landing to have the chicken fingers.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
Rose pedals are waiting for your.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Arrival, my friend, the proper way to welcome me. Of course.

Speaker 5 (20:53):
Hey, speaking of greatness, the New York Knicks are making
a comeback. I think this is like one of the
first series they've won since well, of course, they were
in the finals, you know, against Houston, but then Alan
Houston's Knicks you know, Alan Houston, a great shooting guard
from Tennessee. They made I think a couple of you know,
series wins. But you know, anyway, the last time the

(21:16):
Knicks were in the finals, they had John Starts going
oh for eleven from three and two for eighteen from
the field, and you know that kind of made Kenny
Smith's career kind of take off. To that guy, I
don't know how he's got how he's got a job,
christ Gent, Christy Genty.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay, wait, wait wait, I'm going to push back on
that because let me tell you why you don't get
the greatness of Charles Barkley without Kenny Smith. Kenny Smith
is the straight man to the Shenanigans of Barkley. It's
a duo. Like if Barkley left, it's going to be
hard to recreate that unless Kenny Smith is part of
the package.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Well, I agree. I will say that they do do
a very good job on TV.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
They play off each other very well.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
They're perfect. And you know the other thing is Kenny
more power to this guy. You know, he says he's
made more money doing this on tn T than he
ever made in the NBA. But you know what, happens,
my friend. When you get the money, you.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Get the power.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Then when you get the power by Freddy, then you
get you man and women right now with well, according
to TMZ, he's doing very well for himself. Kenny Smith. Yeah,
he's uh and it's amazing much younger women interested in

(22:38):
Kenny Smith.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
The money.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
I know, all right, thank you? Uh, there you go.
That was last year. He popped up in the tabloids
a couple of times there doing doing well, doing well
for himself. Got the money, got the money. It is
the Ben Malor Show. As we continue on big bends,

(23:04):
lame jokes for the rest of the hour. Do we
have weed Man? Is weed man there? Coop? He is? Okay,
we don't need a fake weed man. He get his number, Coop.
I want to make sure you get his number. I'm
sure you'll give it to you right away.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
This note from the NFL, and I only mentioned it
because I'm amused by the person's name. Did you see
that the Colts exercise the fifth year option on defensive
end quitty pay.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Quit pay quitty pay.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Who doesn't like quitty pay?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
That sounds like a dish at an exotic restaurer.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
It's it's a very unique name, but.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Then it sounds like a fish. Quitty pay, got paid,
quitty pay. We like the quitty pay. It's a sushi.
It's like a sushi.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
What do you think, Loraina?

Speaker 1 (23:54):
You like that name? Quitty? I think it's fun. It
almost reminds me of Harry Potter, like, oh yeah, yeah,
well that would be with a Q.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
I think this is k w I t wye.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Go with it, Eddie, You see you don't have to
touch up everyone's work at.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
My Yeah, all right, see what fun we got out
of me mentioning that?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Now, No, that's not fun, Eddie. I'm the fun. I'm
the fun fun Eddie hits the button arena. Fun fact,
all right, fun fact. I've been told by my friend
Yafemi if I don't mention this, he will come to
Los Angeles and shove a deep dish pizza down my

(24:41):
throat and I will die that way. The lowest e
r A first six career starts since e r A
became official in both leagues. The lowest d r A
right now from a player by the name of show
Ta e Monaga, the last player prior to show to
Imonaga with an e ra this low after six starts

(25:04):
in the Big leagues. Fernando Valens Waila, how fun is that?
If you have us some barrow throwing there? If Vin
Scully had said that line a few years later, he
would have been canceled. He would have retired much sooner.
That would have been it. But show Hey, show show Ta

(25:26):
show Ta getting it done in the show as man.
The Japanese phenom has been amazing era of zero point
seven to eight at this particular point. But it's time

Speaker 5 (26:55):
Yeah, it's you enjoyed?

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Okay, I'll do that.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
All right, all right, let's get to the jokes, and
here we go. Why did Lizzo have to have a
bail of hay delivered to her home? That's not the joke.
The answer is because she became a vegan. That's why.

(27:18):
That's econ Roseville, Minnesota. Why does Lizzo sometimes like to
actually go vegetarian at restaurants? Go to vegetarian restaurant?

Speaker 4 (27:27):
I don't know why?

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Oh, go ahead, we've been why. Yeah, Well, she goes
only on the days, the fat free days. She likes
those days. That's a Dennis Dennis in Detroit. Thank you, Dennis.
What did members of the fitness center say when Lizzo
told them she might be joining?

Speaker 4 (27:47):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
What they said, fat chance is what they said. That's Mike,
Mike in Promidence. Yeah. What did God do on the
first day of creation? What he said? Let there be
light and then pushed Lizzo out of the way. That's
from Donnie in g R. Who's got more oil than

(28:14):
Saudi Arabia. I don't know Lizzo's skin. Noah, Noah, Austin
set that one in. Thank you, Noah. What's what's a
worse idea than hiring Doc Rivers to coach your team
in the playoffs? Hiring Lizzo to drive your ice cream truck?

(28:37):
That's a fake laugh. You didn't like that, weed Man,
that's a fake laugh. I'm not feeling the emotion from you.
I'm not what what what street are you sleeping on
in Miami tonight? Where are you at? What? What street?
You right off Lincoln Road? See weed Man, he's doing
live appearances right off Lincoln Road. What what happened the
last time? Every night for weed Man is a live remote?

(28:58):
What happened the last time Lizzo squatted? Squatted? What the
Titanic popped out? That's from John and Youngstown, Ohio. It's
also from John and Youngstown. How fat is Lizzo?

Speaker 5 (29:13):
How fat?

Speaker 1 (29:14):
She's so fat? The National Weather Service names each one
of her farts. So that's that's a special that's a
special kind of fact. Yeah, that's not I mean, that's
not nice, but it is fat.
