Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's a safe andsane edition of the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Here an hour number three and this fourth of.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
July a reminder we will have a new episode of
the fifth hour podcast. Oh my god, you're doing the
podcast on the fourth of July. Yes, so you better
listen or else. Well, we're not gonna do it again
on the fourth or side anyway, So we'll have that
coming up later. Behind the scenes on how I got
contacted by management because one of the listeners showed up
(00:31):
to the studio uninvited and I was called out by
management for nothing. I had nothing to do with it.
We'll explain what happened behind the scenes. Also here in
hour three, how big a deal is it to have
Joey Chestnut back and the Independence Day hot dog eating contest? Now,
it is likely by the time you hear this, the
(00:51):
hot dog contest will have happened. But give you our
thoughts on that. Also, Dame Lillard says he's not a
gamble amid NBA rumors after being way by the box,
is that how you see it? And Celtics legend Paul
Pierce calling himself the best pure score in NBA history
is blank. We'll go there as well. All that and
(01:15):
a side of potato salad. You can have all my
potato salad. I don't want it here. It is our
number three. It is a sausage fest. Though it really
is a sausage fest. I'm not kidding, I'm not exaggerating.
Wel come, in the beginning of another hour of the
(01:37):
Ben Mallord Show.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
What are you doing? It's a holiday? Why would you
do a live talk show on the fourth line.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We are in the air everywhere as we sculpt our takes.
We do, yeah, we do, and we try not to
drive into a corner like Max going through New Jersey
making his way back to the Commonwealth. As we are
hanging out. We are hanging out coast to coast, border
(02:03):
to border and beyond on the vast and considerably powerful
microphones of FSR emating live.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
From the wall, just a hole.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
In the wall from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as
approved by Jeff in Sacramento, who's a fan of the show.
He admitted to that and this portion of the Ben
Mallin Show made possible in part by our friends at
tire Rack. For over forty years, that's two generations. Tire
Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
(02:39):
what and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation, Tire rack dot Com, the Way Tire Buying
Show b Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
All right? So our lead.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
This hour is from some It's very important to me.
It's in Brooklyn, but it is not Marcel and Brooklyn,
nor is it Uncle Mo who no longer is in
Brooklyn because he moved over to Jersey. But we're gonna
go to Coney Island to be exact. And hours from now.
After a year of exile sent to Guantanamo Bay, Joey
(03:22):
Chestnut is back and better than ever. He will be
competing in the most iconic event on the fourth of July,
the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is hours away
as we're doing this in real time now. Chestnut was
unable to give the world his skill because of his
(03:45):
deal to represent an evil veggie hot dog. He endorsed
it a sad day, but it wasn't asked last week
that he will return to the competition, and sure enough,
later today that will happen. He said he's thrilled to
be back at doing what he does best. So if
you've not been following it, perhaps you have some thoughts
on that. I have some thoughts.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So let us discuss the question. How big a deal
is it?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
How big a deal is it to have Joey Chestnut
back in the Independence Day hot dog eating fiesta. So
I've got my views on this. I've got George Washington,
Lehman Brothers, and unicorns, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to enjoy some
(04:33):
dogs and buns.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Some dogs and buns. We'll do that.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So first of all, all right, last year, the people
at Nathan's and Major League Eating decided they were going
to f around. They were gonna play hardball with the
golden goose. Now, what is the first rule of having
a golden goose? You don't mess with the golden goose?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Right, foolish.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It would be like the NFL banning Tom Brady from
competing in the playoffs because.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
He wore the wrong shoe, you know, or something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It was petty, it was dumb that he was not
allowed to compete in twenty twenty four. And it's kind
of like on the fourth of July, a lot of
towns are going to drones. I think that's dumb. I'm
a purist. When it comes to the Fourth of July.
I want explosives. I want massive explosives. I don't want drones.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I don't And so.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It felt like going to a Fourth of July show
and it's drones, not fireworks.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Not the same. Right.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
When it comes to Joey Chestnut, he is the George
Washington of the Glizzy Gobblers. He is when the guy
he calls himself Jaws Joey Chestnut, when he steps back
on that stage at the famous hot dog eating contest,
They're the Nathan's Famous hot Dog Eating Contest. It is
(05:57):
akin to the Liberty bell Out, Freedomman, hot Dogs for everyone,
the pursuit of happiness. It is a triumph to an
American tradition, and it is a middle finger to the
people that decided to ban him from the big evil
corporations and all that. And listen, it's great, a little
(06:19):
piece of Americana, jest Nut. You think about athletes that
have pushed back time. Joey Chestnuts I believe forty one
years old, and he is a hot dog devouring Demi god,
and he just wraps himself in the flag. Now, the
betting us, you can bet on everything, not in California
because everything's illegal, but in the rest of the free
world for the most part, other than a few places
(06:39):
in the Bible Belt. So DraftKings has Joey Chestnut as
a minus twenty five hundred favorite to win. Now, that
means you would have to bet your your child, like
maxis driving around, has got three kids, You'd have to
bet Max your your kid's college fund all of them
(07:00):
to win a If you win, you win like a
gift card to starbuckser right, Yeah, I mean the math
on that is not that good. It's bet a lot
and win win some peanuts. You know, you win some peanuts. Now,
to give you an idea, how lopsided Joey Chestnut is
in the hot Dog based on the odds, right, minus
(07:22):
twenty five hundred, that works out to a ninety six
percent chance.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Okay, they're saying.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There's a four percent chance he doesn't win, which I
guess that would mean he like choked on something.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Anyway, Regardless, this is not about gambling or even the
Mustard Belt. It is about what Joey Chestnut stands for.
This is a guy that shows up, does his job.
He does it better than any man, woman, or child
on the planet to shows up.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Give the man a play.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
The hot dogs get out of the way, just go away,
and you know, surround We're in this world where we're
surrounded by influencers and you know, social media stars and
all that. But Joey Chestnut is a throwback to the
old country in the US, right.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
This is a guy who has mastered a skill. He's
a craftsman.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And you might say it's weird, it's gross, Oh, like
you're part of the problem.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
This is a craftsman who's gone out there.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And and he owns it, and he's not apologizing for this.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And this is the kind of hero that we didn't
know we need, but we do right.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And he goes out there. He doesn't preach about anything.
He's not about that. He's just eating hot Remember a
couple of years ago, some whack a doodle, some evil protester,
try to stop the hot dog eating contest, and Joey Chestnut,
like Superman, Captain America, Spider Man, Batman, anyone in the
(08:57):
Justice League, he just shoved back that evil whack adoodle
and kept eating. He said, you're not going to make
this event of boondoggle and he went back to the
hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
He did.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So Chestnut is not out there. You know, he's not
out there making He's making money, but he's not making
as much as Lebron or anybody like that. It's a
great listen, this is his superpower, this is his skill.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Everyone. I believe everyone's got a superpower.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Unfortunately, your superpower might be cleaning toilets, but that's your superpower,
so you should do what your superpower is now. Secondly,
we go to Wisconsin, we pivot to basketball a week
less than a week after being fired. Dame Lillard wants
you to know he is not a gamble. All kinds
of rumors he's going to go to this team, that team,
(09:44):
the other team. He says, he's not a gamble. He
was fired by the Milwaukee Bucks. So is that how
you see it? So if you miss this, Milwaukee is
going to eat without cheese curds one hundred and thirteen million,
one hundred.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And thirteen million dollar contract.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
They're gonna eat that contract and just get rid of
it like it's something on the discount rack there at
TJ Max like just take it whatever, which is it's.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Kind of cute, right because dame time.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
He says he's not a gamble, which I believe is
also what the Lehman Brothers said if you remember back
in eight I know it's been seventeen years, but they, Oh, no,
we're reliable.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Oh we got a track record. Come on. Lillard is
thirty five.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
This month, which is not old in the real world,
but in sports it's old. He's rehabbing a achilles that
is like shredded shredded pork and the basketball equivalent of
some kind of dramatic Shakespearean drama, tragedy whatever, and he
is expected to miss the entire season next year, and
(10:43):
yet he wants you to know that he is.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Not a gamble.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So let me get in the cockpit of my B
two stealth bomber a little truth bomb.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
The Achilles injury.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Does not lie, right, and the aging thing is legit.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
And Lillard at his.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Peak when he was on the Oregon Trail with the
Portland Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard was built on explosive ability
and all of that and bouncing around.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And so if you take away the turbo button, what
do you have. We don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Can he reinvent himself. Sure, he's always been a defensive liability.
That was before his achilles just folded away.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And so that's that's a problem. And if you if
you're a contender, Now here's the thing. If you're a
contending team.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And yet you have the flexibility and you want to
do some deep prayering, prayer, praying, praying, praying, then he's
a calculated risk. If you're expecting Dame Lillard to walk
through that door and he's like the twenty nineteen version
you were living in a place at Disneyland called Fantasy Lamb.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
All right, final thought.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
We now go to the Boop Tube where Boston Celtic's
legend Paul Pierce.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
He said he's got a TV show. I've never seen it,
but there are some interesting quotes that come out of that.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
So Paul Pierce called himself the quote best pure scorer.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
In NBA history.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
That is blank. All right, that is blank. So my
word is unicorns. Ergo chasing unicorns in a thunderstorm. Right,
there are a few exits past Reasonville. He's already gone
past Reasonville. Now technically, Paul Pierce said, the term best
(12:42):
which means as good as all the rest. However, everyone
knows that Paul Pierce means.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Better than all the rest. And this wasn't even a
random flex.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
This was Paul Pierce reacting to Lebron giving KD the flowers.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It's instead of this was on a podcast and Lebron
was a waxing poetic. But instead of just what normal
people would do with just tip the cap and say, okay,
you know what, good for him, he didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
He's like, what about me? What about he became? What
about me? Listen?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Pierce solid career, good score, he averaged close to twenty
points a game, had a long career, some memorable moments in.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
His career in Boston.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Unfortunately for him, the biggest moment of Paulper's Pierce's career
is when he pooped.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
His pants and ended up in a wheelchair.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's unfortunate, but that's what When I think of Paul Pierce,
I think of him being wheeled away because he had
a he had a streak of brown on the back
of his white Celtic uniform. But he could score on
every level and he let He never led the league
in scoring. However, he never averaged thirty points a game.
He was never if you think of his era, he
(13:57):
was never the top scorer. He wasn't the top And
you know, someone else had said it other than Paul Pierce.
He'd said, all right, well listen to that, but you
just sound like a douchebag.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
When you're the one saying it. It just doesn't land.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It sounds like you're trying to rewrite history and you're
bummed out because you were left out of the conversation
and all that. It comes across like that that person,
that guy at the twenty year reunion who says, oh,
back when I was in high school, man, you know
I could have gone pro.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I could have gone pro.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But you know, something happened and that's it. And so
I can't wait till Paul Pierce. I think next week
he's going to announce that he.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Actually taught Steph Curry how to shoot.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And then after that he's going to announce that he
went back in a time machine and taught Kareem Abdul
Jabbar the skyhook.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I think that's how that's going to go. All right.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It is the Ben Mahler Show on Fox and Mark
hit that button here We're going.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
To move the third degree right now, go play the
third degree.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It's very exciting here, Mallard to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's smaller. How about that to the third degree? I
just shed that this.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Is one big event.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Gets grilled, all right, she's producing, she's doing updates, and
she'll be turning out the lights later.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Our friend breed cleaning the bathrooms, cleaning the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Nobody does that on the weekend. Yeah, that does not happen. No, no, no,
it does not.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
Yeah, no, that's disgusting already.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
So the he are looking for a package consisting of
Dalton connect, ruy Ha Chamura, and a first round draft
pick for the Lakers in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. Ben,
what do you think about Miami asking for a kind
of a steep price for Andrew who hasn't been that
great since his Golden State days like five years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, so if I'm Miami, I get it, Like why
not skinny jeans? Rob Palinka does not really seem to
know what he's doing there, unless somebody just hands.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The Lakers players. The Lakers usually end up getting eviscerated.
Lately in the off season, they've they've had another.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Bad offseason, they got a guy that doesn't have a
good motor in DeAndre Ayton. So I just know why
Mike Miami would ask for all that. But if I'm
the Lakers, why would you want Andrew Wiggins.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't even think.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
He's all that good, So it doesn't make a lot
of sense to me. Like I understand why Miami's doing it,
like get rid of the planet. It's like they're fine
with the Wiggins is there or not? That heat notn't
going to be very good, so why not?
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Right next, one of the best Clippers to ever put
on a uniform, Paul George, said on his podcast that
he thinks Michael Jordan being on the NBA broadcast will
NBC broadcast will generate interest to the NBA.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Ben Do you agree with him?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Well, I I have to walk a tight rope here,
uh Breed, Uh, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I don't think it's gonna make much of an impact
because unless Jordan all of a sudden wakes up one
morning he decides he's going to be like Charles Barkley,
it's just gonna be a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Of cliches and a lot of boring soundbites from Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Now, if I'm wrong, and I hope I am wrong,
and Michael Jordan actually finds a personality somewhere in the
south of France and shows up there and is dropping Haymakers,
that I'm.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
In for it.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
But otherwise no, And it's been so long since Jordan
last played. There's already been a generation that has passed
since Jordan played. So if you're of a younger age,
you're like, well, I've seen highlights of Jordan, but you
haven't really heard from him.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
And he's been out of the limelight for a while.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
So I don't think it's going to make that big
a difference unless Jordan develops a personality, which is something
he's never had.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Next, after making history Wednesday night with a three thousand strikeouts,
Clayton Kershaw confirmed that he will finish his career in
La Ben What do you think that? Do you think
Kershall will actually like follow through and retire a Dodger,
especially when all that back and forth with no thank
you will Well.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
He will haunt me like he has haunted me where
the playoffs he will return and there will be some misfortune,
some kind of voodoo bugaloo that continues to haunt but
in Kershaw and I saw they gave him the mound
at Dodgers Stay, and they give him the pitching rubber
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So like, I think they're trying to get him to
go away. But he you know, he's he.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Will retire as a Dodger. I just think he's just
gonna keep pitching. You know, he only has to make
like ten to fifteen starts a year, so why not.
He's like a part time player. All right, there it
is Mallard to the third degree. How did we do you?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Did you passed?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Ben?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
What did they pass?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Sees get degrees?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Another flaw this week of Mallard to the third degree.
I'm on a burner. I am on you realize, Brie,
I'm on a burner. I can't be stopped.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
You can't be stopped really long?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. All right, anyway, we will press on.
Thank you for that, and time now for the Malor
Riddle of the Day, and we'll take some more of
these calls. I know you're on hold eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. But here's the Mallor Riddle of
the day. Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Emonaga was asked about
(19:14):
a blank shirt that he was wearing in the club
Cubs clubhouse, and he said he didn't really know what
it was. Again, Cubs pitcher Shota Emonaga was asked about
a blank shirt that he was wearing recently in the clubhouse,
said he.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Didn't really know what it was, but he was wearing it.
That is the Mallor riddle of the day. The answer,
We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

much about it. That is the question. What's the answer?

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Ben, I've been a girl from overseas.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
Yeah, she was doing some kind of window washing the
window gear systems for these and I told her it's
a group home.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
But I'm interested in you. And I said, you know
a new foreigner, that American like ed Wardo from the
Ben Moller Show. She says that you holler at James.
Have I heard you before it the Ben Motor Show?
I said, I met Ben, so I don't know.

runs away from you. I'll tell you how to get
that woman run away for you from you.

Just tell her how much money you have. She'll run
away from that. She will run. She thinks you're an
easy march. Yeah, yeah, there you go. That's actually later
this hour.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Your question though, what question your life change when you
met me?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yes, because every every time you've called since then, you've
reminded me of that.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
And uh, Jack, I really had to work out Jack
to get him to bring me out there.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Now do you remember which former NFL quarterback showed up
to that mallor meet and greet? Do you remember which one?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Tommy Kramer? Two minutes?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Two minutes Tommy Kramer was.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I know you had a drink in one hand and
a beerd the other too.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, that's unfortunately Tommy did like to drink and apparently
still likes to drink.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
But no, he was very kind and no you don't.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Okay, now you're annoying me. I'm going to hang up
on you, but thank you. I know you'll call back
in two seconds anyway, So who cares. Let's say hello
to Dave who's in Houston. Hello Dave, welcome, Hello Ben.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh, oh my.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
This is the caller formerly known as transgender Dave.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
That is that is correct? You know, I don't know
if you heard what happened to jimmy swimming champion Leah
Thomas at the University of Pennsylvania. Did you hear what
they did to her?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
They no, I know she had a bunch of records,
but I don't know what happened.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
They took away her championship.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Apologized to the other swimmers. This is an outrage.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Uh, you know, I know you're no longer transgender Dave.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Though, I have to run again. This had this and
I'm going to run on the ballot as as the
candidate of the freak Off Party, because when you invite
people to join the freak Off party, you meet the
most interesting people.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yes, Salt of the Earth people, actually baby Oil of
the Earth people.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So you meet there apparently.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But well, that's great until now you don't want to
go back to Transgender Day. We got to come up
with a nickname for you. Since you're no longer Transgender Day,
we'll have to come.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
That's totally because of the current administration. Okay, I fully
intend to reacquire my previous identity when it's safe.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Ben, I understand, I understand Transgender Day. And I'm sure
you're you're excited for the big weekend series there the
Dodger's going to beat up on your baseball team there.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
Along those lines. You know, I hate to get nostalgia.
I have to get nostalgic come the fourth of July. So,
who is your candidate for the greatest picture in our
living memory? The very best? I have a candidate. You
probably have a candidate.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Oh yeah, the greatest picture in my lifetime. Now, not
the most dominated, but consistently great. I'm going to go
with former Dodger Greg Maddox.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's what I'm gonna go.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
All right, Well, my candidate was a longtime player for
your favorite franchise. The Houston Astros. And you know you're
mister Kirshaw just had his big moment with three thousand strikeouts.
My candidate had over fifty seven hundred strikeouts. Do you
(30:26):
know who we're talking about here? Man? He also had
six now hitters. You're getting warm.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
A big unit there is Nolan Ryan. Oh what about
the big unit. He played for the Astros for like
a month.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Oh no, he was there for many, many years.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh yeah, Nolan Ryan was great, But I think of
him more as an angel. I don't think of him
an Astro. You I do.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
You are testing my patience?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Well, I heard, Dave.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I heard a lot from your neighbors there in Houston.
They were busting my chops when the Astros were beating
the Rockies. But didn't they lose on Thursday? All of
a sudden, I didn't hear much from Houston.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I don't know why. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Maybe everything's everyone's social media WiFi went down or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
As possible that happened.
Speaker 8 (31:12):
They are really a compelish losing to the worst teams
in the league.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, you have that, David. It's great to hear your voice.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Dave, You're a legend. Call anytime, Dave. Don't you have
to wait for holidays. We love your calls, all right,

Speaker 2 (00:08):
July a reminder we will have a new episode of
the fifth hour podcast. Oh my god, you're doing the
podcast on the fourth of July. Yes, so you better
listen or else. Well, we're not gonna do it again
on the fourth or side anyway, So we'll have that
coming up later. Behind the scenes on how I got
contacted by management because one of the listeners showed up
(00:31):
to the studio uninvited and I was called out by
management for nothing. I had nothing to do with it.
We'll explain what happened behind the scenes. Also here in
hour three, how big a deal is it to have
Joey Chestnut back and the Independence Day hot dog eating contest? Now,
it is likely by the time you hear this, the
(00:51):
hot dog contest will have happened. But give you our
thoughts on that. Also, Dame Lillard says he's not a
gamble amid NBA rumors after being way by the box,
is that how you see it? And Celtics legend Paul
Pierce calling himself the best pure score in NBA history
is blank. We'll go there as well. All that and
(01:15):
a side of potato salad. You can have all my
potato salad. I don't want it here. It is our
number three. It is a sausage fest. Though it really
is a sausage fest. I'm not kidding, I'm not exaggerating.
Wel come, in the beginning of another hour of the
(01:37):
Ben Mallord Show.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
What are you doing? It's a holiday? Why would you
do a live talk show on the fourth line.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We are in the air everywhere as we sculpt our takes.
We do, yeah, we do, and we try not to
drive into a corner like Max going through New Jersey
making his way back to the Commonwealth. As we are
hanging out. We are hanging out coast to coast, border
(02:03):
to border and beyond on the vast and considerably powerful
microphones of FSR emating live.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
From the wall, just a hole.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
In the wall from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as
approved by Jeff in Sacramento, who's a fan of the show.
He admitted to that and this portion of the Ben
Mallin Show made possible in part by our friends at
tire Rack. For over forty years, that's two generations. Tire
Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
(02:39):
what and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation, Tire rack dot Com, the Way Tire Buying
Show b Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
All right? So our lead.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
This hour is from some It's very important to me.
It's in Brooklyn, but it is not Marcel and Brooklyn,
nor is it Uncle Mo who no longer is in
Brooklyn because he moved over to Jersey. But we're gonna
go to Coney Island to be exact. And hours from now.
After a year of exile sent to Guantanamo Bay, Joey
(03:22):
Chestnut is back and better than ever. He will be
competing in the most iconic event on the fourth of July,
the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is hours away
as we're doing this in real time now. Chestnut was
unable to give the world his skill because of his
(03:45):
deal to represent an evil veggie hot dog. He endorsed
it a sad day, but it wasn't asked last week
that he will return to the competition, and sure enough,
later today that will happen. He said he's thrilled to
be back at doing what he does best. So if
you've not been following it, perhaps you have some thoughts
on that. I have some thoughts.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So let us discuss the question. How big a deal
is it?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
How big a deal is it to have Joey Chestnut
back in the Independence Day hot dog eating fiesta. So
I've got my views on this. I've got George Washington,
Lehman Brothers, and unicorns, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to enjoy some
(04:33):
dogs and buns.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Some dogs and buns. We'll do that.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So first of all, all right, last year, the people
at Nathan's and Major League Eating decided they were going
to f around. They were gonna play hardball with the
golden goose. Now, what is the first rule of having
a golden goose? You don't mess with the golden goose?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Right, foolish.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It would be like the NFL banning Tom Brady from
competing in the playoffs because.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
He wore the wrong shoe, you know, or something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It was petty, it was dumb that he was not
allowed to compete in twenty twenty four. And it's kind
of like on the fourth of July, a lot of
towns are going to drones. I think that's dumb. I'm
a purist. When it comes to the Fourth of July.
I want explosives. I want massive explosives. I don't want drones.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I don't And so.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It felt like going to a Fourth of July show
and it's drones, not fireworks.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Not the same. Right.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
When it comes to Joey Chestnut, he is the George
Washington of the Glizzy Gobblers. He is when the guy
he calls himself Jaws Joey Chestnut, when he steps back
on that stage at the famous hot dog eating contest,
They're the Nathan's Famous hot Dog Eating Contest. It is
(05:57):
akin to the Liberty bell Out, Freedomman, hot Dogs for everyone,
the pursuit of happiness. It is a triumph to an
American tradition, and it is a middle finger to the
people that decided to ban him from the big evil
corporations and all that. And listen, it's great, a little
(06:19):
piece of Americana, jest Nut. You think about athletes that
have pushed back time. Joey Chestnuts I believe forty one
years old, and he is a hot dog devouring Demi god,
and he just wraps himself in the flag. Now, the
betting us, you can bet on everything, not in California
because everything's illegal, but in the rest of the free
world for the most part, other than a few places
(06:39):
in the Bible Belt. So DraftKings has Joey Chestnut as
a minus twenty five hundred favorite to win. Now, that
means you would have to bet your your child, like
maxis driving around, has got three kids, You'd have to
bet Max your your kid's college fund all of them
(07:00):
to win a If you win, you win like a
gift card to starbuckser right, Yeah, I mean the math
on that is not that good. It's bet a lot
and win win some peanuts. You know, you win some peanuts. Now,
to give you an idea, how lopsided Joey Chestnut is
in the hot Dog based on the odds, right, minus
(07:22):
twenty five hundred, that works out to a ninety six
percent chance.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Okay, they're saying.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There's a four percent chance he doesn't win, which I
guess that would mean he like choked on something.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Anyway, Regardless, this is not about gambling or even the
Mustard Belt. It is about what Joey Chestnut stands for.
This is a guy that shows up, does his job.
He does it better than any man, woman, or child
on the planet to shows up.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Give the man a play.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
The hot dogs get out of the way, just go away,
and you know, surround We're in this world where we're
surrounded by influencers and you know, social media stars and
all that. But Joey Chestnut is a throwback to the
old country in the US, right.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
This is a guy who has mastered a skill. He's
a craftsman.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And you might say it's weird, it's gross, Oh, like
you're part of the problem.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
This is a craftsman who's gone out there.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And and he owns it, and he's not apologizing for this.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And this is the kind of hero that we didn't
know we need, but we do right.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And he goes out there. He doesn't preach about anything.
He's not about that. He's just eating hot Remember a
couple of years ago, some whack a doodle, some evil protester,
try to stop the hot dog eating contest, and Joey Chestnut,
like Superman, Captain America, Spider Man, Batman, anyone in the
(08:57):
Justice League, he just shoved back that evil whack adoodle
and kept eating. He said, you're not going to make
this event of boondoggle and he went back to the
hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
He did.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So Chestnut is not out there. You know, he's not
out there making He's making money, but he's not making
as much as Lebron or anybody like that. It's a
great listen, this is his superpower, this is his skill.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Everyone. I believe everyone's got a superpower.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Unfortunately, your superpower might be cleaning toilets, but that's your superpower,
so you should do what your superpower is now. Secondly,
we go to Wisconsin, we pivot to basketball a week
less than a week after being fired. Dame Lillard wants
you to know he is not a gamble. All kinds
of rumors he's going to go to this team, that team,
(09:44):
the other team. He says, he's not a gamble. He
was fired by the Milwaukee Bucks. So is that how
you see it? So if you miss this, Milwaukee is
going to eat without cheese curds one hundred and thirteen million,
one hundred.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And thirteen million dollar contract.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
They're gonna eat that contract and just get rid of
it like it's something on the discount rack there at
TJ Max like just take it whatever, which is it's.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Kind of cute, right because dame time.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
He says he's not a gamble, which I believe is
also what the Lehman Brothers said if you remember back
in eight I know it's been seventeen years, but they, Oh, no,
we're reliable.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Oh we got a track record. Come on. Lillard is
thirty five.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
This month, which is not old in the real world,
but in sports it's old. He's rehabbing a achilles that
is like shredded shredded pork and the basketball equivalent of
some kind of dramatic Shakespearean drama, tragedy whatever, and he
is expected to miss the entire season next year, and
(10:43):
yet he wants you to know that he is.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Not a gamble.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So let me get in the cockpit of my B
two stealth bomber a little truth bomb.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
The Achilles injury.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Does not lie, right, and the aging thing is legit.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
And Lillard at his.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Peak when he was on the Oregon Trail with the
Portland Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard was built on explosive ability
and all of that and bouncing around.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And so if you take away the turbo button, what
do you have. We don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Can he reinvent himself. Sure, he's always been a defensive liability.
That was before his achilles just folded away.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And so that's that's a problem. And if you if
you're a contender, Now here's the thing. If you're a
contending team.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And yet you have the flexibility and you want to
do some deep prayering, prayer, praying, praying, praying, then he's
a calculated risk. If you're expecting Dame Lillard to walk
through that door and he's like the twenty nineteen version
you were living in a place at Disneyland called Fantasy Lamb.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
All right, final thought.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
We now go to the Boop Tube where Boston Celtic's
legend Paul Pierce.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
He said he's got a TV show. I've never seen it,
but there are some interesting quotes that come out of that.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
So Paul Pierce called himself the quote best pure scorer.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
In NBA history.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
That is blank. All right, that is blank. So my
word is unicorns. Ergo chasing unicorns in a thunderstorm. Right,
there are a few exits past Reasonville. He's already gone
past Reasonville. Now technically, Paul Pierce said, the term best
(12:42):
which means as good as all the rest. However, everyone
knows that Paul Pierce means.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Better than all the rest. And this wasn't even a
random flex.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
This was Paul Pierce reacting to Lebron giving KD the flowers.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It's instead of this was on a podcast and Lebron
was a waxing poetic. But instead of just what normal
people would do with just tip the cap and say, okay,
you know what, good for him, he didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
He's like, what about me? What about he became? What
about me? Listen?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Pierce solid career, good score, he averaged close to twenty
points a game, had a long career, some memorable moments in.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
His career in Boston.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Unfortunately for him, the biggest moment of Paulper's Pierce's career
is when he pooped.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
His pants and ended up in a wheelchair.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's unfortunate, but that's what When I think of Paul Pierce,
I think of him being wheeled away because he had
a he had a streak of brown on the back
of his white Celtic uniform. But he could score on
every level and he let He never led the league
in scoring. However, he never averaged thirty points a game.
He was never if you think of his era, he
(13:57):
was never the top scorer. He wasn't the top And
you know, someone else had said it other than Paul Pierce.
He'd said, all right, well listen to that, but you
just sound like a douchebag.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
When you're the one saying it. It just doesn't land.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It sounds like you're trying to rewrite history and you're
bummed out because you were left out of the conversation
and all that. It comes across like that that person,
that guy at the twenty year reunion who says, oh,
back when I was in high school, man, you know
I could have gone pro.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I could have gone pro.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But you know, something happened and that's it. And so
I can't wait till Paul Pierce. I think next week
he's going to announce that he.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Actually taught Steph Curry how to shoot.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And then after that he's going to announce that he
went back in a time machine and taught Kareem Abdul
Jabbar the skyhook.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I think that's how that's going to go. All right.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It is the Ben Mahler Show on Fox and Mark
hit that button here We're going.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
To move the third degree right now, go play the
third degree.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It's very exciting here, Mallard to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's smaller. How about that to the third degree? I
just shed that this.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Is one big event.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Gets grilled, all right, she's producing, she's doing updates, and
she'll be turning out the lights later.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Our friend breed cleaning the bathrooms, cleaning the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Nobody does that on the weekend. Yeah, that does not happen. No, no, no,
it does not.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
Yeah, no, that's disgusting already.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
So the he are looking for a package consisting of
Dalton connect, ruy Ha Chamura, and a first round draft
pick for the Lakers in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. Ben,
what do you think about Miami asking for a kind
of a steep price for Andrew who hasn't been that
great since his Golden State days like five years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, so if I'm Miami, I get it, Like why
not skinny jeans? Rob Palinka does not really seem to
know what he's doing there, unless somebody just hands.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The Lakers players. The Lakers usually end up getting eviscerated.
Lately in the off season, they've they've had another.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Bad offseason, they got a guy that doesn't have a
good motor in DeAndre Ayton. So I just know why
Mike Miami would ask for all that. But if I'm
the Lakers, why would you want Andrew Wiggins.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't even think.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
He's all that good, So it doesn't make a lot
of sense to me. Like I understand why Miami's doing it,
like get rid of the planet. It's like they're fine
with the Wiggins is there or not? That heat notn't
going to be very good, so why not?
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Right next, one of the best Clippers to ever put
on a uniform, Paul George, said on his podcast that
he thinks Michael Jordan being on the NBA broadcast will
NBC broadcast will generate interest to the NBA.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Ben Do you agree with him?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Well, I I have to walk a tight rope here,
uh Breed, Uh, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I don't think it's gonna make much of an impact
because unless Jordan all of a sudden wakes up one
morning he decides he's going to be like Charles Barkley,
it's just gonna be a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Of cliches and a lot of boring soundbites from Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Now, if I'm wrong, and I hope I am wrong,
and Michael Jordan actually finds a personality somewhere in the
south of France and shows up there and is dropping Haymakers,
that I'm.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
In for it.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
But otherwise no, And it's been so long since Jordan
last played. There's already been a generation that has passed
since Jordan played. So if you're of a younger age,
you're like, well, I've seen highlights of Jordan, but you
haven't really heard from him.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
And he's been out of the limelight for a while.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
So I don't think it's going to make that big
a difference unless Jordan develops a personality, which is something
he's never had.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Next, after making history Wednesday night with a three thousand strikeouts,
Clayton Kershaw confirmed that he will finish his career in
La Ben What do you think that? Do you think
Kershall will actually like follow through and retire a Dodger,
especially when all that back and forth with no thank
you will Well.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
He will haunt me like he has haunted me where
the playoffs he will return and there will be some misfortune,
some kind of voodoo bugaloo that continues to haunt but
in Kershaw and I saw they gave him the mound
at Dodgers Stay, and they give him the pitching rubber
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So like, I think they're trying to get him to
go away. But he you know, he's he.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Will retire as a Dodger. I just think he's just
gonna keep pitching. You know, he only has to make
like ten to fifteen starts a year, so why not.
He's like a part time player. All right, there it
is Mallard to the third degree. How did we do you?
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Did you passed?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Ben?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
What did they pass?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Sees get degrees?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Another flaw this week of Mallard to the third degree.
I'm on a burner. I am on you realize, Brie,
I'm on a burner. I can't be stopped.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
You can't be stopped really long?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. All right, anyway, we will press on.
Thank you for that, and time now for the Malor
Riddle of the Day, and we'll take some more of
these calls. I know you're on hold eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. But here's the Mallor Riddle of
the day. Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Emonaga was asked about
(19:14):
a blank shirt that he was wearing in the club
Cubs clubhouse, and he said he didn't really know what
it was. Again, Cubs pitcher Shota Emonaga was asked about
a blank shirt that he was wearing recently in the clubhouse,
said he.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Didn't really know what it was, but he was wearing it.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
There are one hundred and eighty seven days left in
the calendar year, if my Malor math is correct.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I think my math is correct on.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
That time now, though, for the Riddle of the day,
Chicago Cubs pitcher. He's been out for a while with injury.
With the Great showta Emonaga, this guy's been pretty good.
He was asked recently about a T shirt, a blank
T shirt that he was wearing, and he said that he.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Didn't really know what it was like. I didn't know
much about it. That is the question. What's the answer?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Shane in Des Moines says an Austin three point sixteen
shirt from the nineties.

that I mean, they're not a sponsor, but I've gotten
a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (23:36):

Speaker 1 (23:52):
I think I saw that. I think I read that somewhere.
Maybe I was. No.

She is, she hasn't been there in thirty years and
she's coming back at Dolly, how.

none really on the heels of her eightieth birthd Yeah,
so she's about to turn eighty.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Good for her awesome, Let's see, I can't read that.
A nature boy says something about Pierce.

He's injured. He was asked about a blank shirt that
he was wearing.

can't name one single.
Speaker 1 (25:13):

So that's unfortunate but based in reality. All Right, we'll
get back to the calls. We do have big men's
lame jokes of the week that's coming up. I do
not see the weed man on on my board. I
don't see that.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I see hollering James.

Drop James. Come on, no, I haven't never dropped you, James.
You were, James.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You were likely practicing that line off air, and you
totally butchered that line.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You immediately butchered the line.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I got Doua the butcher wame jokes of the week.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Another relevant reference Abdullah the Butcher. You've done it again, solid.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Ben, I've been a girl from overseas.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
Yeah, she was doing some kind of window washing the
window gear systems for these and I told her it's
a group home.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
But I'm interested in you. And I said, you know
a new foreigner, that American like ed Wardo from the
Ben Moller Show. She says that you holler at James.
Have I heard you before it the Ben Motor Show?
I said, I met Ben, so I don't know.

Just tell her how much money you have. She'll run
away from that. She will run. She thinks you're an
easy march. Yeah, yeah, there you go. That's actually later
this hour.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Your question though, what question your life change when you
met me?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yes, because every every time you've called since then, you've
reminded me of that.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
And uh, Jack, I really had to work out Jack
to get him to bring me out there.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Now do you remember which former NFL quarterback showed up
to that mallor meet and greet? Do you remember which one?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Tommy Kramer? Two minutes?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Two minutes Tommy Kramer was.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I know you had a drink in one hand and
a beerd the other too.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, that's unfortunately Tommy did like to drink and apparently
still likes to drink.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
But no, he was very kind and no you don't.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Okay, now you're annoying me. I'm going to hang up
on you, but thank you. I know you'll call back
in two seconds anyway, So who cares. Let's say hello
to Dave who's in Houston. Hello Dave, welcome, Hello Ben.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh, oh my.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
This is the caller formerly known as transgender Dave.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
That is that is correct? You know, I don't know
if you heard what happened to jimmy swimming champion Leah
Thomas at the University of Pennsylvania. Did you hear what
they did to her?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
They no, I know she had a bunch of records,
but I don't know what happened.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
They took away her championship.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Apologized to the other swimmers. This is an outrage.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Uh, you know, I know you're no longer transgender Dave.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Though, I have to run again. This had this and
I'm going to run on the ballot as as the
candidate of the freak Off Party, because when you invite
people to join the freak Off party, you meet the
most interesting people.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yes, Salt of the Earth people, actually baby Oil of
the Earth people.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So you meet there apparently.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But well, that's great until now you don't want to
go back to Transgender Day. We got to come up
with a nickname for you. Since you're no longer Transgender Day,
we'll have to come.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
That's totally because of the current administration. Okay, I fully
intend to reacquire my previous identity when it's safe.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Ben, I understand, I understand Transgender Day. And I'm sure
you're you're excited for the big weekend series there the
Dodger's going to beat up on your baseball team there.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
Along those lines. You know, I hate to get nostalgia.
I have to get nostalgic come the fourth of July. So,
who is your candidate for the greatest picture in our
living memory? The very best? I have a candidate. You
probably have a candidate.
