Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka Laca. It's our dber three on this Monday
President's Day. Your presidential fun fact of the hour, James Earl.
Jimmy Carter was the first president to be born in
a hospital. How about that, Jimmy Carter? And also the
first known president to go on record saying that he
(00:21):
had he had a sighting with a UFO. There's a
bonus fun fact. Well, Juan Soto, we'll talk some baseball
this hour. Juan Soto arrived at Mets camp and says,
despite the seven hundred and sixty five million dollar contract,
he doesn't have to be the guy with the Mets.
Is that fair or foul? Also, after failed offseason trade talks,
(00:43):
Cardinals third basement Nolan Aernato says he doesn't envision changing
the list of teams he'd accept the trade to. Do
you believe him? And we have learned that Yankee slugger
Jon Carlos Stanton is uncertain for opening day because of
bad elbows. Not one bad elbow, both bad elbows. What's
your reaction to this. We'll talk about that and more
(01:04):
right now. Give it up for our number three one,
the Dawn Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere,
fellow taxpayers, whether we like it or not, as we
(01:29):
are your pal, unless we're not, unless we're not. Coast
the coast, border, the border and beyond. On the mast
and incandescently powerful microphones of FSR am monating live from
the wash, the eyewash of athletic chatter. We're broadcasting live
(01:50):
from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot com will
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars.
I know the Green Bay gobbler loves that number. Ten thousand.
Tire rack dot com the Way Tire Buying Show, so
our lead this hour. We're gonna get back to basketball
(02:12):
in a minute now. Some of you guys are still
on hold. You want to yap about the round robin
All Star event that took place in San Francisco. And
I also did watch some of the hockey over the weekend,
which was really really about the hockey the four four nations.
It was more about the fighting the USA and Canada
(02:33):
having a throwdown on Saturday. But we'll get back to
all of that and still getting some negative feedback from
the Mister Beast Marching and Shadow Society. But our lead
this hour is from baseball and spring training. Port Saint
Lucy is where we will begin. You know, I love
to parse the words of athletes behind the bully pulpit
(02:55):
here at Fox Sports Radio, especially on a President's Day.
That's the ultimate bully pulpit, being the president. But our
lead this hour is from baseball. The new King of
Queens arrived at Port Saint Lucie over the weekend, and
he had a bold decree. A bold decree. Now we're
talking about Juan Sotove you didn't see this, and perhaps not.
(03:16):
Juan Soto shockingly declared that he does not feel that
he has put any extra pressure or there's any extra
pressure on him as he arrives with the Mets, the
seven hundred and sixty five million dollar man, Juan Soto says, quote,
I don't think I have to be the guy, he
(03:37):
said over the weekend. I'm not trying to do more
than I've done in the past. Soto said, I'm just
going to keep being the same guy, try to do
the same things I've been doing year after year. Close
quote all right, so that is what we call kids
the money quote. I think you know that. So that
is a not a wowser's, that's a double wausers, double wawsers,
(04:00):
double wowser's. All right, So let us discuss the question.
One Soda says he does not have to beat the
guy with the Mets. Is that fair or foul?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
All right?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So I've got Marvel Comics, smartphone, and Shawshank Redemption Classic movie,
and we'll combine all of these things together, and we
are going to make a Billboard lawyer, because if you
get into a car accident, make sure to call that
billboard lawyer. So everyone's insurance rates go up. All right,
(04:37):
So first of all, this is a foul ball. Foul
ball what it is here, be very worried if you
are a Metropolitan fan. Now, I've always said, and this
is true with One Soda. These massive contracts, you gotta
win one world series. One world series. Now Mookie Betts
has two with the Dodgers. Otani's got one. So so
(05:00):
those contracts are good. Give me if I as a fan,
you want one world series. So Soto's got to win
at least one World Series with the Mets. That you
would argue at that price point seven hundred and sixty
five million, he's got to win two, but at least one,
at least one on these Mega MEGAMEGA contracts. That's my position,
but I would be concerned if I'm a Mets fan.
(05:22):
Here's why. When you get a fifteen year contract for
seven hundred and sixty five million dead presidents, you by
default are the guy, whether you want to be the
guy or not the guy. And if you don't think
you're the guy, it doesn't matter. Guess what, spoiler alert,
you're the guy. You're the guy, all right, Embrace it,
(05:45):
enjoy it, Say I am the guy. I'm gonna lead
this team to the World Series. I am going to
do it. I'm gonna get it done. Because it doesn't
matter whether you say it or not. It's that's the
way it is. Those are the rules, those are the words.
Do not shy away from it. Don't do that, whether
or not you want to admit it or not. And
it's fine you don't want to admit it. You're a coward.
You don't want to admit it, Wan Soda, it doesn't
(06:05):
change the dynamic. And I learned this from Marvel Comics
in spider Man. With great power comes great responsibility. With
a seven hundred and sixty five million dollar contract, cold
hard cash, you're the guy. You're the guy. I'm not
the guy. You're the guy. I can't be the guy.
You're the guy. Okay, Now, when you get the largest
(06:28):
contract in professional sports history, you are the locomotive. You're
not the box car. You're not the caboose. You're the locomotive. Juju, Yeah,
you're the front of the train. Now. Mets Brass. While
Juan Soto was saying I'm not the guy, New York,
Mets Brass was pumping their chest out talking about the
quote Aura around Juan Sota, which is code for media's scrutiny,
(06:54):
and that is a direct reflection of money, money, money,
direct reflection money, money money. He signing the deal, Juan
Soto declared that New York has been a Mets town
for a long time. Remember that quote from a few
months back, that the Mets have been in New York.
Now has been a Mets town for a long time.
That was his quote. And then he said he'll handle
(07:16):
all the noise in New York by winning games. Of course,
the test of time will be the ultimate thing here
and we will keep you abreast as developments warrant Now. Secondly,
we go to Saint Louis, the one that you couldn't
get rid of, failed, failed the offseason trade talks, the
once proud, once successful Saint Louis Cardinals baseball team third
(07:38):
baseman Nolan Aernato one point a star for the Colorado
Rockies and the Cardinals. Nolan Eronado says he does not
envision changing his list of no go on the trade front,
and he would not be willing to accept the trade
to any other team other than the preferred teams on
his wish list. Do you believe leave him after the
(08:01):
Cardinals tried to trade him multiple times in the offseason
and failed.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
So?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Do I believe Dolan Aeronado? No? No. Do I believe
that that's his position in February of twenty twenty five?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Do I believe that things will evolve? Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I do.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Now, my understanding is that Aeronato has already rejected a
trade this offseason. He did not want to play for
the cheating as one thousand and two one thousand holes.
He said no to the s one thousand and two,
one thousand holes. This offseason, which is easy to be
bold and strong and all that in the off season
(08:38):
because the Astros are going the wrong direction. But let
me set a reminder. I want you to do the
same thing. Take out your smartphone and set a reminder
on the calendar app on your smartphone for early July.
Assuming Aeronado stays healthy and doesn't suck at a time
he can't suck, then let's check back in early July
(08:59):
on Nolan Aeronado, because methinks his position will evolve. The
Cardinals will be floundering another mediocre team as of now.
As of now, it is believed that Aeronato is only
willing to rubber stamp betrayed to the Red Sox who
just signed cheating ahole Alex Bregman, the Doyers who don't
(09:20):
seem to have any need for Nolan Aernado, the Padres,
and the Angels. He Aeronado is a Southern California guy
and would like to come back to SoCal and grew
up in the OC not far away from I grew up.
And the Phillies and the Metropolitans are also on that
little short list of Nolan Aeronata. Now, he did play
(09:42):
the family card from the bottom of the deck. Aeronato, though,
is not a sympathetic figure. He has banked over two
hundred and eleven million dollars from Colorado and Saint Louis
as a good baseball player. He's got another three years
left on his contract, and he's also got thirty six
MILLI deferred money that he will be paid out for
(10:04):
another twenty years. So he's doing okay. And as we
point out all the time, if you have enough money,
every single town, every single city in America and really
for that matter of the world, has a Beverly Hills
part of town. You know what I'm saying. You say, oh,
it's terrible here. Well, there's always like the rich part
(10:24):
of town. And if you make that kind of money,
you live in that part of town. You're not living
in a slumlord's place. You're living in a penthouse apartment
or a mansion somewhere. So don't matter where you play.
The weather's a little better in some places, and you're
a little closer to the family, but when you got
that kind of money, doesn't really matter. All right. Now,
last stop, we head to the Boogie Down Bronx. The Bronx,
(10:47):
who the team that self destructed and that beautiful blow
up in the World Series. How great was that to
see the New York Yankees embarrass themselves in that fifth
inning that I will always love and cherish the rest
of my life. Again, the Dodgers, well as the Pinstripers,
prepare to not win a World Series in twenty twenty
five in Florida. We have learned already that Yankees a slugger,
(11:11):
Jean Carlos Stanton formerly known as Mike Ston Gen Carlos Stanton,
is uncertain and unlikely to be ready for the start
of the baseball season opening day because of a elbow injury.
Check that elbow injuries, both elbows. What is your reaction
(11:33):
to the injury update on John Carlos Stanton. So this
is my reaction, is Shawshank redemption? Like remember the scene
where Morgan Freeman aka Read there was yawning as they
were doing some group therapy in prison. Yeah, my reaction
is a yawn and then a stretch, a cartoonish stretch
(11:56):
and a yawn. That is my reaction. We had four months,
roughly four months. Gian Carlo Stanton did not play from
the World Series until the beginning here of spring training
and he's still left up four months up. This is
Kawhi Leonard, like, this is Anthony Davis, like by gian
Carlo Stanton is what it is here now. Gian Carlo
(12:17):
is thirty five years young, which in the real world
is not that old, but in sports is getting old.
And we are told he has chronic tendonitis in not
one but both elbows. Essentially it's a tennis elbow on
both sides. It's understandable. He won the Aussie Open last year,
had a great Wimbledon and now it's understandable that he
(12:39):
would have the issue here with these elbows when you
play that well on grass and clay courtz it's completely understandable.
So gian Carlo has missed two hundred and sixty six
out of seven hundred and eight games over the past
five years due to various injuries, and he is guaranteed
going into the year to miss a minimum of thirty
(12:59):
to fifty games. If everything goes right, he'll miss thirty
to fifty games. And that's you know what you're getting.
You had a few home runs and one I believe
the American League ALCS Most Valuable Player award and was
part of that New York Yankee Meltdown in the World series.
It is the Ben Malers Show. If you'd like to
(13:19):
be part, you can join us right now at eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven
nine nine six six three sixty nine. It is President's Days.
We mix in presidential fun facts because we're all about
the the fun facts in fact. You want you want
a fun fact, I can give you a fun factor
right now. If you want want presidential fun fact, I'll

music fact, here's some John Tesh NBA music. The only
president with four names? You know who? The only president
with four names is now George Herbert Walker Bush, the
only it's your presidential fun fact to the hour on
(14:03):
President's Day. I never got to hang out with the president.
I'd like to hang out. That would be fun to
meet a president, you know, it'd be cool. Any president,
it'd be neat. I don't care. I'd hang out with
Obama Trump And how many are living Clinton? Are they?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Are they?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Who else is living among presidents? Carter's gone? Bush? I guess, yeah,

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah.

like he'd be a fun time. I think he'd be good.
I think Clinton be I mean, obviously Clinton's.

Dot in Utah. Who's still not called us and give
us giving us a criminal update? Who else you have
page down? I can't read that on the air from
people throwing batteries Chris and Kent Washington. All right, Lorraine, Oh,
(20:26):
here's the mallor riddle of the day. A Super Bowl
hero Cooper Degene said he suffered a battle scars from
blank at the Eagle Parade.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Well, if he's anything like me, he's he got battlescars
from being hit by a bicycle by a bicycle walking
the parade route.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You got hit by a bicycle, Yeah, battle scars. When
did that happen?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
I was nine?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh you were nine.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Okay, it scared me.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I understand. I understand here you are grown woman, and
you're still all right. Anyway, The correct answer, Cooper Dejeene's
that he suffered battlescars from an oversized bud light chain.
That he was wearing a can of bud light chain
all blinged out at the Eagle Parade. There you go. Now,
we had a great SoundBite that I sent Coop over
(21:14):
the weekend that I was going to play, but we're
not going to play it because of the no fun
police that work here at the company.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, So there was a sound bite that I wanted
to play of live TV coverage of the Eagle Parade
and pretty much every egle player while they were giving
their speeches, cursed on live television in Philadelphia. So every
single time there's a clip that was sent to me,
and every single time these guys cursed, the TV guy
(21:43):
got up. That happened again. I'm sorry, We apologize for
the language. And it was really hilarious, and so I
was like, well, we'll play it, just but let's hear
the beginning part of it, like it was an F
you know, and they cut it off. You know, you
don't know what they're saying. Maybe they're saying fun you
don't know they're saying the other version of the F word.
And so I said, oh, we'll play this, and I
set this in and then Coop said he sent me
(22:04):
a reaction and one guy in particular, who I will
not name, who I'm ashamed of. I thought this person
was better than that really was, you know, put the
foot down guy and very disappointing, very disappointing at that.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
So you don't want me to play this sound no.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Because it's not funny. The only reason it's funny is
because of the hearing the words. If you bleep out
all of the words, it loses the comedic value. So
I don't want to know. I do wish that we
should let the listener to sign no, no, trust me.
I know.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
How about we play it and then dump it and
they have to go to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Well, oh, you want to play the one with the F.
I'd be fine with that, but I don't think we'd
run out of dumb So that's the problem. They cursed
every other Every other word was the F F this,
and you know the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
My timing would have to be precise.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, it's too dangerous. Yeah, we only have a certain number.
We have a fine amount of dumps, and then we're
out of dumps. And then we got to take a
dump because we out of dumps, and so we have
to go actually take a dump to get more dumps.
So fascinating. But we do have the mayor. Do we
have the mayor? Maybe we can play the mayor? So
the mayor screwed up again? Miss mayor. Now she's the
woman that tried to do the eagle chant. Remember the
(23:18):
eagle chant? And she we have that eagle chant. Go birds.
She screwed this up.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Member.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
This was after the the Ram game, before the Commander's
playoff game for Washington.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
You will say me ow me, me me. No, let's
go Bert.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Let's go Bert. That really makes the bite. Let's go Bert.
So miss mayor, of course, because there's one person you
want to hear when you're drunk at a championship paradus
from the mayor. So the mayor got up there again
and she as well, she did it yet again, take
a list.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Reminded us all through their excellence that nothing is possible when.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
We work together as a team. Yeah, she's gotta be dyslexic.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
How great is play that? Again? Listen close to This
is the mayor of one of the great cities in America.
Granted politically it's messed up, but here's the mayor of Philadelphia.
Take a us.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Reminded us all through their excellence that nothing is possible
when we work together.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, as a team, nothing is possible. We all work together.
That's my mantra, all right, So Lorain and you know
what you gotta save that. That's a drop. Now we'll
keep that out of context. Drop the mayor of Philadelphia.
We're getting more good stuff from the mayor. Way to go,
miss mayor. Outstanding job, wonderful. Let's go to the phones
and we'll say on the international line. Let's go to
(24:36):
Hank in Tokyo. Hello Hank, Welcome, Hey Ben.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Sorry for the sporto question, but I genuinely couldn't pick
it up from your monoloup. Why does no one or
why would the Saint Louis Cardinals trade no one?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Are not a cause. The Cardinals are paying him a
lot of money and he's in older play and they're
not going to be competitive, and that would be why
they would trade Nolan Aeronado.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
So it's just buyer's remorse.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Well, they knew when they knew, when they got him,
he was at the point where in a couple of
years he was going to be old where the Cardinals
are not competitive right now, and Aeronato is almost thirty four.
I think he turns thirty four early in the season,
so he's an older player and his numbers have gone
down the last three years. He's not nearly as impactful
(25:29):
as he had been. It's a good name, though he's
not He wasn't an All Star last year. He's not
quite as good as he was defensively.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
So that's why, Okay, remind me, how does the MLB
rules work? Can they trade a player, and the Cardinals
pay part of the salary, and the.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
And the other party also pick up part of the salary.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Or how does that work in baseball?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I think you can send money in trades. I believe
you can pay some of the money. That does happen.
But Aarontald's got a no trade clause, so he's limited
on where he can be traded to. That's he'd have
to wave it.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Those parties to qualify for his no trade or that
Ben would say yes to.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Could could do a deal with where it's a subsidized trade.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
It's not just oh.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, exactly exactly. But usually what happened, as you know, Hank,
these teams when they make a trade like that, they're like, well,
if we pay the salary, we're not going to give
you as good a return because we're paying the salary,
so we're not going to give you, you know, top suspects
or whatever. So I'll get you a heart old sports
question from Hank and Tokyo. You're losing your way, I
(26:41):
know from the top rope the atomic elbow go away.
Let's go to angry Bill. Who's next? Hello, angry Bill.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
How's everybody doing?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Then?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I hate to switch over to baseball. But your basketball
stuff I just can't handle anymore. Why don't you write
a book? Then you got to.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
That's a great idea. I was working on that, and
I think that's stalled. Though.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Let me finish just on just how dysfunctional teams are,
specifically the Yankees, to hand out a eighteen million dollar
a year, three year contract to this pitcher that don't
want to pitch in the bullen got great is that
they had a first base when they had to get
rid of because he got just too old. He could run,
(27:30):
you know, he couldn't go over and cover first base.
And then you have you have people like this playing
and nobody's ripping apart. These disfunctional general managers and owners
of the Yankees. How pathetic they are. They couldn't develop
a new player or a good player for nothing they.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Keep I think you were vague. I think you're You
should name the guilty party. You're talking about Marcus stroman
pitcher who has drawn a line in the sand and
said that he's only willing to start and he will
not go to the bullpen, that he will not even
though he's being paid a lot of money. He would
rather be traded or not pitch at all than go
(28:15):
to the bullpen. That he does not you know, that attitude.
You just do whatever it takes and all that. That's
not his attitude.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
But who had the blind brain set three years ago
to get eighteen million dollars a year?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Come on, well, that's the that's the going rate though,
of starting pitchers in baseball, that is, that's that's the
going rate. How ridiculous is that for a guy like Stroman,
that's the going rate.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
He's not even a five hundred pitcher. Okay, And I
don't mind, don't mind the guy, but you gotta put him,
you know, way back in the starting rotation, whatever you're
gonna do. He's always had an attitude problem. And they
go ahead and give him that kind of money, and
then they want to complain that he's not going to
do what they want. They're the ones that's what the
problem is, not him. He's controlling the situation right now.
(29:00):
Eventually he might get traded whatever. But the Yankees are
so dysfunctional they can't bring up players and keep them
and develop them. They hand money out like it's nothing,
and then they want to complain about don't complain pay
them off. Same thing like with Aaron Rodgers. They paid
them off. They pay off these people. They are going
to be like that and they want to keep going
(29:21):
and going and going and there, and they're sitting there
in the front office and they're a bunch of bozos.
There's no other way to put it. Cashman, the Steinbrenner
Poinky Twin brothers. It's it's unbelievable the way they are
so stupid, and it goes on and on, and who
would think this superstar is going to have two bad elbows.
(29:44):
They weren't checking out the elbows in October when the
season was over. Now they get the spring training one
week and they're saying he's got bad elbows. You've got
to be kidding me. I mean, it's just so stupid
how things get run and it annoys the crap out
of me. Annoying.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I like the fact that you're annoyed by that. But
that's good for my business. If everyone did everything right,
I would have no show. How boring would that person?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
The smartest person on the face of the euro there
is justin Tucker. How can you could move the sheets
with his penis?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
He's like he's like Houdini, who knew.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
He smarter than could be.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
If you were famous, angry Bill, how many massage therapists
would have accusations against you over under? I don't know
a hundred.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Oh my God, give me, I can't believe now this.
I looked up his wife. This white is a very
sweet young lady.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
She's a lovely lady, and my apologies to her, I
don't enjoy.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, I mean she's gonna have to decide money or
seeing that she's seen the sheet move a couple.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I mean, come on, all right, thank you, all right,
go ye? Well, the Deshaan Watson's girlfriend stay with him
in the middle of all that, I think so. I
think the lady that he was with stayed with him
when all the massage therapists were Listen.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
You can't just leave because your guy makes extreme eye
contact with his massage therapist.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
What kind of man does that?
Speaker 6 (31:23):
Well, look, the girlfriend hadn't locked anything down yet.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, I got in the bag yet. Yeah, you gotta
get the bag. The wife can leave because she's got
the bag. Yepho. There might be a prenup. Yeah, that's true.
Do kickers get prenups? Do they give out prenups. If
you're a kicker, I don't know how long have they
been married? At twenty fifteen? When did he? I think?
But right around that time, So it's been been a minute.

All right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we
are rolling through the overnight, you see a couple guys
got fine for celebrating during the Super Bowl. Jaylic Hunt
of the Eagles was fined five thousand, six hundred and
ninety dollars for unsportsmanlike conduct. He did a bow and
(34:45):
arrow celebration. Milton Williams was fined over fourteen thousand dollars
for unsportsmanlike conduct. He dunked on the goalpost that cost
him fourteen grade. Yeah, did you guys, did none of
you watch the All Star Game?

Right, I'll tell you watch a little bit of it.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Did you watch any of the All Star Game in
the NBA? Not a single second Okay, I don't want
to offend Dale and Muskegan or the boys in prison,
but I think Steph Curry is gonna be fine because
Steph Curry. I think maybe I saw this wrong, but
I swear I saw this, and tell me if anybody
else saw this. So he won the All Star Game MVP.
(35:21):
He then he was like joking around with Kevin Hart
who was behind him, and some other people, and it
appeared that he put the trophy down in his groin
area as a fallus, that he was holding it up
making a like a penis joke right after he won
the Kobe Bryant MVP award. But I don't know that
I actually saw that. I thought I saw it. I
(35:41):
don't know if that's fine worthy. But it was right
behind Commissioner Adam Silver and stuff, like he was standing
out of the background and he had won the award.
He gave a little speech, and then he was in
the back and Kevin Hart and those guys were there,
and he held the trophy to his groin region like
it was like a rhinos penis or something like that.
So sure, yes, but maybe I'm the only one to
say it. Anyway, we are going to have the insta
