Speaker 1 (00:13):
And hour number three.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins yet again feeding content
to the Overnight Show.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hunter Dobbins, he's the guy that said.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
He would never pitch for the Yankees. He told this
whole story about his father. Well, turns out Hunter Doggins
Hunter Dobbins was caught fibbing about his father's career with
the Yankees. So what's the question on everyone's mind about
this story? And how is it possible that Hunter Dobbins
ended up in this Pinocchio pickle. We'll talk about that.
(00:46):
And Pope Leo confirming his Major League Baseball fandom. He
was rocking a white Sox hat with Poppo Robes at
the Vatican. Is this fabulous fashion or a faux Paul
by the Pope? We'll talk about that, because we are
on the pulse of fashion. A sight to behold here
it is our number three lyre liar pants on fire.
(01:12):
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mahlord Show.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
We are in the air aywhere, literally everywhere, as we

Speaker 2 (02:19):
So our lead this hour is from Hardballhoi. Hardball Hohoi,
a story that I love. We haven't had a good
story like this involving a baseball player caught putting their
hand in the cookie jar of Fantasyland in some time.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So follow up follow up to.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
The feel good, feel good baseball story, which is turned
upside down upside down.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
If you did not hear, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
In a previous episode of the show, we talked about
Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins and his story about I'll.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Never pitch for the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
They did my dadded dirty, good Southern boy from Texas.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
They did my dadded dirty, and I ain't pitching.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So it turns out we now know, as the great
radio man Paul Harvey back in his day would say,
we now know the rest of the story. It turns
out that Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins made erroneous false
claims about his father, Lance and his dad's baseball career.
(03:33):
Dobbins had said that his pops, Lance Dobbins, was drafted
by the Yankees twice got traded to the Diamondbacks. He
also told the Boston Herald that his dad was really
good friends with former Yankee pitcher Andy Pettitt. Now the
New York Post started sniffing around. They started finding some
(03:55):
chinks in the armor there, and they did a little
look around Dobbins and his story. They turned out, they
investigated it and they determined that Lance Dobbins never was
drafted by the Yankees, not twice, not even once. He
was also never traded to Arizona. He was never in
(04:16):
the Diamondbacks organization. And they reached out to Andy Pettitt
and they said, hey, Andy, can you tell us a
little bit about your friendship with Lance Dobbins, and Andy
Pettitt said, Who's that? He says he does not remember
anyone named Lance Dobbins in his.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Life, So question who goofed?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I've got to know now when asked about this hullabaloo.
When asked about the hullabaloo, Hunter Dobbins, that's the baseball
player for the Red Sox, he said, the whole backstory,
it's something that I had heard growing up and seeing
pictures of from my dad.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Quote continues, he said.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
At the end of the day, all right, at the
end of the day, I don't go and fact check
my dad or anything like that. Now, he added that
the New York Post story quote doesn't phaze me. He said, Okay,
good for you. So he doesn't have egg on his face.
He doesn't seem to care.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
But Chizmo tough guy. Tough guy, all right, So let
us discuss question.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins caught fibbing about his father's
career with the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
What is the question on everyone's mind on this one?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So I've got Judge, Judy Shaggy Dog and chat GPT
and we will combine all of these things together and
we will hit the button.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
We're gonna hit the button.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So, first of all, the question everyone's mind is what
happened to Wi Fi? Does Hunter Dobbins not through the internet?
Did he think that nobody was going to fact check
his story to see what was going on? Hunter Dobbins
a guy who, by the way, by the way, has
been in the major leagues for about ten minutes and
(06:07):
has already produced two Mallard monologues despite middling results on
the mound. And yet he's He's like, well, I'm gonna
become a Red Sox folk hero.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I am a Red Sox folk hero.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
My story is so good I would rather retire than
wear that ugly Yankee pinstripe uniform. Okay, that's a juicy story.
But then bam, all right, he builds it all up.
It's like a sob story, a real tragedy. The Yankees
did my family wrong. The Yankees traded my daddy, bad
(06:42):
job by them. They broke my little heart as a child.
Boo freakin' who embellishing, going on and on and on,
and we get the whole Yankee red sock bad blood.
This is another chapter, however, plot twist, plot twist.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You don't have to be TV judge Judy.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
To know that there is not an ounce. There's not
an ounce of truth in anything that you've said. If
you're going to turn a grudge into this amazing origin
story as a little boy growing up and all this stuff, maybe,
and I know I'm asking for too much, have at
least part of it be true.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Have a part of it. It's twenty twenty five, okay.
And the issue is you don't.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Have to be some kind of high falutint investigative journalism.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's one tap tap tep.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You can do too, tap tap, and Dobbin says, I
don't go back and fact check my dad, which technically
it would not be a fact check.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You're just clicking on Baseball Reference.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
They have a page for everyone who was in the
minor leagues and the major leagues, and it's like a
pride page.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Oh there's my dad's.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
If my dad played in baseball and had a page
on Baseball Reference, I would click on that be like, oh,
I want to see the stats, let me see the
cities he played in. And you're telling me that Hunter
Dobbins never did that one time. It makes no sense. Oopsie,
the backstory is Bologne. It is bology, and you can't
(08:25):
build a personal origin story, a brand story on revenge
and it's all a myth that falls apart like some
cheap giveaway umbrella at Yankee stated like this is like
a kid saying, oh, yeah, my dad, My dad played
in the National Football League, And it turns out that
(08:49):
he just went to Lambeaufield's gift shop and he bought
a jersey, a Packers jersey. But he played in the NFL.
He was at he got his jersey at lambeau Field.
So I thinically he's not wrong. The dad did get
the jersey at lambeau Field, but he didn't get it
from the team.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
He had to pay for it.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Now, secondly, how is it possible, How is it possible
that this picture Hunter Dobbins of the Red Sox ended
up this deep in the Pinocchio pickle jar so the
obviously we already covered the other, the lack of Google aside,
it is a reminder that children. We are so gullible
(09:33):
as kids, right, I mean everyone, we all start out
just so goible. Now some people continue to be golible
even as they become grown ups and when Dobbin says,
I don't go and fact check my dad. That's his
way of saying, my dad lied, I don't care, right,
And so it got me thinking, if you've ever been
(09:56):
in that situation where you've been given as a kid
shaggy dog story and you've just repeated it and repeated
it and those iconic, you know, the bedtime fables like
my mom in my in my house growing up, my
mom would tell me some amazing bedtime story timeless tales, right,
(10:18):
you know, once upon a time, you know, not your time,
but a long time ago. Like if I was Hunter Dobbins, dad,
I'd be like, once a time, once upon a time,
you know, not your time, long time ago.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I pitched for the Yankees, and I was roommates with
Andy Pettitt and we did steroids on the road and
we went out. We had a great time. It was
one blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Blah uh unless not unless that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Now, if you want more on that, you can watch
my webinar.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And on the webinar we have speeches from Santa Claus,
Hanka Harry, the Easter Bunny, and the MC of.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That will be the Tooth fairy.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
So we'll have all that for you in my webinar
on how this could happen now, final fault, change it
up a little bit, Hot Pope talk.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
That's right, hot Pope talk. Well, this week several of
you fine Catholic lads.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Send me photos of Pope Leo, the guy from Chicago
who is now confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt his Major
League Baseball fandom, by rocking a white Sox hat with
the pope wardrobe on below that in Vatican City. Yes,
(11:36):
the Pope was wearing a white Sox hat at the
Vatican as he was greeting the public. Is this fabulous
fashion or is this a faux paw of fashion? So
we thought about this for about five seconds and we
realized looking at the white Sox record and looking at
(11:58):
the power of the Pope, the power of the poppel right,
we determined this is obviously a focal. In fact, when
I saw this photo, my first thought was Ai and
not Alan Irison.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
This is chat GPT. That is a doctored photo.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
There is no way that the head of the Catholic
Church is gonna be rocking a white Sox hat during
an audience at Saint Peter's square. Turns out he did
what in the world, as Jackie Slater would say, what
in the world that is a fashion fail? Is what
that is? Because the White Sox s think anyway, But
(12:40):
you're tell me that I thought the Vatican had a
dress code. If you're the Pope, right, you gotta wear
that white outfit all the time. And do you think
the Pope ever just wears his like civilian clothes and
goes out and gets a burger somewhere.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Probably not right, Probably not, And.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I get the whole story as a civilian back in Chicago,
Pope Leo as a White Sox man. And as we
pointed out, we were on the air after the White
Sox won the World Series in five, so he's probably
a Mallard militia guy, the Pope.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
But hey, Pope, you got traded. You're playing.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I'm told you're playing for a bigger team. So now
that said, the White Sox obviously need all the prayers
they can get. How many different pulpe related promotions are
the White Socks going to have next year? Pope Leo bobblehead, right,
they'll do that Pope Leo poster'll I mean, they'll have
(13:29):
a bunch of giveaway right, Why wouldn't they? Now I
saw somewhere it was a snap back hat. They could
not get the pupe a fitted Chicago White Sox hat.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
It was a snapback, snap back hat. Bad job by it.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Now that said, I have been hearing that that hat
that was worn by the pope. There's a million different
hats you can wear with the White Sox logo on it,
but that one is already sold out pretty much everywhere
on the interweb.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Very popular hat. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Now that the White Sox financially, this is a prayer
being answered, right, because a financial prayer for the White
Sox has been answered with that that image will be
shown all over the place and the White Sox will
monetize that I can gare onto you, guare onto you.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So it is the Ben Mahler Show. And this is
the part.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Normally I give out the phone number, and I solicit
phone number.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Phone calls, not the phone. I give out the number.
The phones though.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
They're not completely down, but they're they're kind of drunk.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's like only a couple of lines are working. It's
not it's not good. So I don't know if we
didn't pay our phone bill or the phone company. There's
gremlins in the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So I'm not sure exactly how that happens. I don't know,
but it has happened. So if you want to press
your luck and see if you can get through. You
probably won't, but you can try, and if not, that's fine.
We've got plenty of things to talk about. But we
would like to mix some calls in just to change
it up rather than me just drone on and on.
So if you want to try to get in eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six,
(15:13):
sixty three sixty nine, and if you do get in,
consider yourself very lucky. Consider yourself very lucky, because there's
people reaching out complaining it's not working.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I'm upset, I'm calling in it's not working. I don't understand.
Blah blah blah blah blah. We will have asked Ben
later this hour. Ask Ben.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Your questions are answers on the X machine hashtag ask Ben.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
That'll be coming up in a little bit time now.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Though, for the malor riddle of the day, all right,
Tasia Stoyakovich. That's a old basketball player from back in
the in the nineties. Tasia Stoyakovic recently claimed that Rich
Paul blank the Kings to trade de Aaron Fox Again
(16:03):
Peiser Stoakovic a big star in the early two thousands
for the Sacramento Kings. He claims that Rich Paul Lebron's bff,
Rich Paul blanked the Sacramento Kings to trade d Aaron
Fox for Zach Levine.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
That is the malor riddle of the day. The answer,
We'll get to it, and we will do it.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Next.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Bill Miller and you, it is the Ben Mahler Show.
We know you have options binocular ones. We thank you
for listening to the show on the red eye flight.
You're working the third shift with us, Welcome and thank you.
If you're up late with insomnia, that works. If you're
(16:59):
dealing with the keeping crud or just snoring a lot
and listening a little bit like Old Man River in Florida,
that's fine. You can't interact with the show. The phones
are mostly down. If you can call up seventy five times,
(17:21):
you might be able to get in. However, the social
media pages are working and you can send your questions
in via the social media and answer bits on the show.
And we have asked Ben coming up in a little
bit hashtag ask Ben. Your questions are answers. We'll get
to that in a few minutes, and you can say
(17:42):
a little Ben at Ben Maler Loreina FSR, Tech Queen
and Cooper Loop a Bronco fan. Your comments can and
we'll be used against you in the court of sports
talk radio. So act accordingly. And now back to the nonsense.
What it's not nonsense. It's just a radio show. And
(18:06):
we have the mallor Riddle of the day, the malor
Riddle of the day, and.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
We'll get to that right now. If you'd like to
answer the real.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Hashtag, but there's actually no hashtag, you just answer the ddle.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You just tag me and then you're you're good to go.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
We started the hour ranting about the Red Sox pitcher
Hunter Dobbins, who was caught lying.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Now that's not an all time great lie. It's a
small lie, and it.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Sounds like it's believable. His dad told him that as
a kid, and he just believed it. And he's just
a dumb, dumb jock, and he never looked looked at
it up.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's possible. It's also possible.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
That he embellished the story greatly and he knew a
long time ago that was not the case, but he
went with it anyway. But the mallor riddle of the
day early two thousands basketball legend Pasio Stoyakovich. He claims
that Bronze bff Rich Paul blanked the Kings to trade
(19:04):
the Aaron Fox.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
And that is the mallor riddle.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Of the day. Let's see Scrooge got it right. Bad
job by him, He obviously cheated. Donkey Sausage said something
to do with NonStop farting is the answer. Berg Dog
says he threatened to break their stupid beam.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That that is the the answer. Who else do you have?
Page down? Some kind of Asian massage.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
From Stevie Meatball's Bill says, just watched a full movie
on b E T during the breaking Napoleon Dynamite. Well,
good for you, stooped from Alf the alien opiner. It's
a great word.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Sweet kiss from mister Irrigation in Houston. Page down gargled
from John I lean off topics says, please don't use
Andy Pettitt as.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
A source source for the truth?
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Fair point?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Page down? I can't can't read that on the on
the air. All right enough, Lorena, do you have an answer, Lorena, I'm.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Gonna keep it simple and say that he begged them, begged.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Them, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Patavic Soyakovich claimed Rich Paul Lebron's bff blanked the Kings
to trade the Aaron Fox.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
The answer is you're wrong, Lorena. The answer is blackmailed, blackmail.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And according to Paiserstoyakovich, he says it seems there was
a directive from his agent, Rich Paul, who played a
key role and blackmailed the teams on which player was
supposed to be to get traded and to wear. Stoyakovich
claimed he he brought Fox to the Spurs, and Zach Lavine,
(21:02):
who is his player, he brought.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Him to Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
By doing this, he limited Sacramento from a business standpoint,
stating that they get a bit more from this trade
with Fox if they had the same discussion with some
other teams in the NBA. So Petros Sijakovic saying it
was blackmail, the evil doings of the agent. And there's
(21:27):
no funny business happens in the NBA. They do not
believe in funny business. They just it is against the
ethos of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It just is.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And I don't care what you say. Everything's on the
up and up. There's no rig games. The Tim Donnie
thing was just a lone wolf.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That's it. Just a lone wolf. And that's all there is,
all right. So I mentioned the phones are not working.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Ever, I guess one line is working. So we have
like there's I somehow blind Emmett won the lottery. It's
that blind superpower that he has and he's able to
call in. I don't know how you got through, Hello,
blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah, it must not be, you know, the blind superpowers
for blind Scott, because I didn't have to call two
hundred and eighty five times. I had to call it
once and then I talked the coup for a little
bit and then he said called back after I reseaid it,
and then I called back and it worked.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
So so you I don't know what are called. You
called twice and you're two for two.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, two for two fieldal range or percentage better than
Shaye today, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Do we believe that? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Yeah, because uh, nobody was on hold when he called. Okay,
so there's probably been a bunch of calls wall Emmett's
been on hold.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, probably as soon as soon as.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
He hangs up, it'll it'll start ringing. It's it's kind
of just you.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Know, yeah, all right, Well, well it's fine.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You guys want to play the guessing game.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Well, you can't force the guessing game.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
No, Well, this one so I had a caller on
my show today, you know, on the Twitter spaces, and
they asked me probably the weirdest question I've ever been
asked in doing five years of podcasting. You guys want
to take a guess on what she asked me.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Look at this guy just casually putting his whole round.
I've done five years of podcasting. This is the craziest
question I've ever been.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
It's kind of wild, Ben. You got to guess.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Well, I mean it's very very generic, like what you
you left a lot of real estate wide open.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
There's a lot I don't know is your podcast about?
Speaker 6 (23:43):
You said, it's the wildest question you've ever been asked?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I know, but is it a sports question or just
about whatever?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
It kind of relates to the sports. It's a little
bit dirty, all right, So it's a.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Little dirty, it's about sports. I don't know. She asked
you if you watch games naked?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
No, she actually did talk about nude hockey. But the
weirdest part she asked was, have you had any sexual
intercourse with the athletes to talk about on the show?
As we're talking about SGA and uh and all those
guys and Jalen Williams and Tyree Haliburt and yeah, I
was like, I don't sling that way. I was like,
I was so like thrown off by Alsa. I've never
(24:22):
expected to get asked that ever. I mean, like, Ben,
have you been asked anything weird like that before?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Oh, people don't ask me weird questions then will come
back to you. They would never ask me.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Of course, I get asked stupid questions all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Yeah, that wild right.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Ones asked me if I've slept with any NBA players?
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Is this an OnlyFans model that you were interviewing?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
No, I wasn't an interview. She just came on like
because on space is it's kind of like this where
you can call in and like ask questions.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
So somebody busting your balls. It was a woman.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Yeah, controlling, but it's free content for the show. Ben.
You know people want to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Okay, thank you to hear about that.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Rescorren seventeen points last night so or two nights ago. Now, So,
I mean I think i'd take that over WNBA talk right, Well, you.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Can handle you can dominate the w NBA talk. I'm
gonna leave that all to you. You can be my
w NBA guy.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
And not even me. That's third Dog. I heard Ford
Dog once again. Get into it.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
No, no, you know that loser supermarket Steve. That guy,
don't do that.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
He's a cool guy, but he might. Yeah, he's very
into it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You're right, Well, the only reason he's cool is because
he lives in a freezer.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's the only reason.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
He's Hey, hey, give me that ice cream, you know,
falk my ice cream for me. Thank you, Steve, you know,
appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, yeah, all right, well there you go.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
So I can't Now I'll have to call you up
and ask a weirder question than that.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah, let's if you can do it, then challenge it
on air on Twitter if you guys want to, you know,
try and beat that woman's question.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
All right, there he goes, five year veteran I knew
him when he was nobody.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I dam it. Now he's dominating. He's kicking something. He's got.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Not just a podcast, it's one of the great podcasts
of all time.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, that's that's it.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Who's your bills? Completely hammered, he says, are we doing
a podcast or not?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I have dibbs. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I will do I do three podcasts a week on Friday,
I do one on Saturday, and I do the mailbag
on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That's it. That is the the podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Scrooge says, holy blank, but I actually got the Mallard
Riddle of the Day correct.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yes you did, and you claim you did not cheat.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Whether that's true or not. I have my doubts. I
have my doubts. I think there might have been some
funny business going on you and Stevie Meatballs.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Something. Something's up there, something's up.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
So the NFL Players Association, they have issued some commentary.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
They are very upset because the world Cup is coming
to America. Are you excited North America? No, Hey, I'll
talk about I mean, I'm not that exciting. But there'll
be some some you know, with all these nice cups. Okay,
well there'll be a lot of cups.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
So we'll get into some of the peripheral stories around
the World Cup.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I don't know how much of the.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Actual soccer or footfall as the rest of the world
calls it, we'll pay attention to. But there's always remember
that a couple of World Cups ago, that was that
there was a head butt controversy. There was the I
think in Brazil they had the whistles or not whistles,
but they had the horns the.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Yeah yeah, and then the head was a Ziadine Zidan
or how are you saying like that?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, yeah. So those are those were really good stories
for the show.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
We talked about those World Cup stories and so those
were good for the show. Uh, and there'll be something
like that in this World Cup. But anyway, get to
the point, please. So the stadium where the Jets and
Giants play met Life Stage in New Jersey is hosting
a bunch of World Cup matches and they put a
grass field. They installed a grass field for the World Cup.
(28:09):
For years, NFL players have bitched and moaned and complained
and just gone crazy. We need grass. We need a grass.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Field in MetLife Stadium. We need it.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So the NFL Players Association has weighed in on the
great debate with a social media post about MetLife Stadium
adding grass.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
The union has lobbied.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
For years and years and years for teams to change
the playing service to grass.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
The reason they'll tell you in New Jersey they.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Can't do it is because there's too many games in
a short amount of time.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
So like, what are we doing? You can't the field?
We get torn up? Then you'd complain about that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So the NFLPA on social media sent out they kind
of copied a photo or a little video clip of
a TV station in New York that showed the grass
field on the pitch as it was being installed, and
they NFL Players Associations said, looks nice. And then they
had the mister peanut, I call it emoji with the monocle,
(29:19):
you know, with the mono you're kind of looking at
it on hashtag safer fields and all. This is the
Great Crusade, The Great Crusade of the.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
NFL Players Association. Logistically, of course it's not.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
It's not possible in most stadiums, and so that people
get all worked up. And there actually have been studies
done that have pointed out that, well, there are a
bunch of injuries on turfields.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Just because you put a grass field down does not mean.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
All of a sudden you are golden. You're you're good
to go. There's no no issues at all. Ferg Dog says,
do not put that evil on me. I am not
a w NBA stand all right, maybe Kathy and Madison
is she's howling at the moon, our friend Kathy in Madison.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
We are moments away from ask Ban. Now.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That is your questions, our answers. That's ask Ban. And
if you'd like to get a question in hashtag, ask
Ben on the X machine and you can send that
question in and let's real quick, get Mike the Leprechaun
on then we'll get to ask Ben.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Hello, Mike the Leprechaun, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
I'm lucky too, huh, I got in.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Well, how is that the people that the calls have
got on their are regulars like nobody outside that because
you regulars are motivated the people outside the regular element.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
They don't. They're not motivated.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
I break I know how to break in. I break
the code. By the way, Crook Park, where the Steelers
and the Vikings are playing in September, is half glass
and half AstroTurf, and I used to play it back
there with the only a wet soccer field back in
the nineties. So that's a new the cup Crooked Park.
It's beautiful, So Steelers, it's where Rogers ended up correct
(31:07):
and he's trying against the Vikings, which is incredible. I
think that's really a funny juxtaposition. Anyway, what else, jeez,
you caught me up, guard, I have a joke, so
great jokes. What do you call a fake a noodle?
A fake noodle? Are you gun?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Oh no? But do you call a fake noodle an impasta?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, thank you?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
The nineteen eighties would like that joke back, So if
you can leave that joke back in the nineteen eighties,
they would like that joke back. Okay, So we're all

press on and it's asked.

the question from blind em who changed his displaying to him?
I know, what's his new name. He's got his full
name on there for some reason.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Really, yeah, but he's very formal. You know, he's a five.
You're a veteran of the podcast word.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
He wants to know what is the dumbest thing you've
ever spent money on?
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, I mean now, I usually am pretty these days.
I don't spend my money on much. I gen only.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Save it, I guess, so when I die someone will
get a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
It was the dumbest thing. Well, I did buy a house.
I don't own it the government. I paid taxes and
all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
But I put a big payment down on a house
at the advice of my real estate advisor, Tom Looney,
right before the housing market crashed. Seventeen years ago. Terrible investment,
horrific investment. So that would be the worst thing financially,
the worst thing. But I mean not about other dumb stuff,
but not recently.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
What about you, Lorena a carry on bag that could
have fit underneath the seat in front of me? Like,
just such a waste of money.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
You bought a carry on that was not able to
fit on the plane.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (34:59):
Okay, I think she paid for carry on and pay
for it and it could have it could have fit
under the seat as a personal.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Oh you checked it in, Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I got Yeah, Well isn't isn't the hack? Usually you
don't check your bag in and then they say does
anyone want to check your bag in?
Speaker 1 (35:18):
And then that's it, ready to gate. You do it
at the gate. You save money that way.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
No, yeah, I know that's the way to do it.
But yeah, cool, uh you know it's probably uh NFL
direct TV and NFL Sunday ticket for the however many
like fifteen years that I did that, Yeah, God, thousands
of dollars to direct TV and.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Watch to watch the Broncos lose games, I guess.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Yeah. And by the way, YouTube TV raised their prices
for Sunday ticket this year, it's now like five dollars
for Sunday ticket with red zone.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
You're a high You're a big spender.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
I don't know if I'm gonna do it this year.
That's just it's just a little bit too far from me.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
You're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
You'll see some stories about the Broncos being good this year.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
You'll do it.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
I'm gonna try to figure out some some loophole.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Okay, all right, talk to Eddie he might know away.
All right, what is next year? It's ask Ben. Your
questions are run. Damn it the rest of the hour.
Damn it is not a question.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
I wish I had seen it. I wish i'd seen
this before I read that, because I just saw another,
a better question from from blind Emmett.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
But well, we'll give this question in. I mean, we
can't just have blind Emmitt Bogart the show.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
All right, let's do a question here from a donkey sausage.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Hi donkey.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
He wants to know have you ever been I'm assuming
this is just for you, but have you ever been
too scared to head home after a show?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Oh? Because of.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
The craziness in the world. Uh No, No, I I
do get sometimes I the one oh one freeway here
in LA through downtown. I often am worried that some
lunatic protesters will jump on the freeway, and I'm like,
what will I do?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
You know, because that does worry me. But other than that,
I know, I'm not I don't really live my life
like that. If something happens, that happens. But uh, that's
not the only thing like that? Is that only for me? Next?
Speaker 6 (37:25):
All right?
Speaker 7 (37:26):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (37:26):
Josh the Bears fan, he's in Nebraska. Yeah, but he
would like to know. Would you rather go on a
cruise or a bus tour?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So I've never been on a cruise. I have some
people in my circle that love cruises.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
They say it's amazing, it's all inclusive, you can eat
whatever you want. Other people say it's terrible, it's you know,
it's it's old people, and it's people that you don't.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Want to hang out with. So I've never done that.
And the idea of being on.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
A bus where it's a bunch of other people on
the bus that have body how about none of the above.
If I had to choose, I guess I'd go bus
because I've never done the cruise.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Things. So I've heard mixed reviews. What about you, Lorena, Oh.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
I love both them. Cruises are great because you know,
you got the.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
All inclusive food and you can just sit by the
pool all day.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
But the bus tour is nice because you can actually
walk around and get off and look at different things
around the cities.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
And I love that.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Yeah, okay, well they say those they do the My
friend Jerry is a big boat guy, and they go
to different cities and you go.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Yeah, you can.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
You can get off the cruise ship too. I love cruises.
I think they're awesome.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
If you're all about the cruise.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
Yeah, I mean you don't mean. It might be a
bunch of old people, but you don't have to interact
with them. You go with the people that you want
to spend time with, and then.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Hate old people.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
I just I just.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
All right, what's next? Where are we at to ask? Ben?
Your questions are answered now?
Speaker 6 (38:55):
The King Rory would like to know what is more
annoying Burning your tongue while eating or biting yourself while eating.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Well, I've done both. I did. I did a week
of radio. I had a lisp. I sounded like this
old Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz. I ate pizza.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
It was hot, and I ate it too fast, and
I burned my tongue.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
I also bit my tongue.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I am such a klutz and the result is you
sound terrible. So I'd say the burn is worse than
the bite. I'll go burn Lorena.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Oh, it's got to be the bite for me. When
I get the inside of my lip or the cheek.
Oh my gosh, then you get it again because it's swollen.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah, just wait till you burn your tongue. What about you.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
The burn is so much worse because then you can't
taste things for a while.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Oh, it's horrible, and it's just it's you.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Oh, you have to you can't get it rid of.
The tongue is involved in everything you need. I mean
that sounded bad, but it is. I mean, it's a
central part of what you
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Do, talking, eating other things.
Boom Shaka Laca.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our na birthree our three.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
We are not killing the clock.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We are enjoying the time we have together here as
we are not running on empty.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
And hour number three.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins yet again feeding content
to the Overnight Show.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hunter Dobbins, he's the guy that said.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
He would never pitch for the Yankees. He told this
whole story about his father. Well, turns out Hunter Doggins
Hunter Dobbins was caught fibbing about his father's career with
the Yankees. So what's the question on everyone's mind about
this story? And how is it possible that Hunter Dobbins
ended up in this Pinocchio pickle. We'll talk about that.
(00:46):
And Pope Leo confirming his Major League Baseball fandom. He
was rocking a white Sox hat with Poppo Robes at
the Vatican. Is this fabulous fashion or a faux Paul
by the Pope? We'll talk about that, because we are
on the pulse of fashion. A sight to behold here
it is our number three lyre liar pants on fire.
(01:12):
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mahlord Show.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
We are in the air aywhere, literally everywhere, as we
hold a conclave and the ladder up coast, the coast,
port of the border and beyond on the mast and
elegantly powerful microphones of fsr.
Speaker 2 (01:42):

pugilism from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
Random Ryan from Carolina. He approves that this portion of

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Go to expresspros dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So our lead this hour is from Hardballhoi. Hardball Hohoi,
a story that I love. We haven't had a good
story like this involving a baseball player caught putting their
hand in the cookie jar of Fantasyland in some time.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So follow up follow up to.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
The feel good, feel good baseball story, which is turned
upside down upside down.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
If you did not hear, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
In a previous episode of the show, we talked about
Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins and his story about I'll.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Never pitch for the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
They did my dadded dirty, good Southern boy from Texas.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
They did my dadded dirty, and I ain't pitching.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So it turns out we now know, as the great
radio man Paul Harvey back in his day would say,
we now know the rest of the story. It turns
out that Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins made erroneous false
claims about his father, Lance and his dad's baseball career.
(03:33):
Dobbins had said that his pops, Lance Dobbins, was drafted
by the Yankees twice got traded to the Diamondbacks. He
also told the Boston Herald that his dad was really
good friends with former Yankee pitcher Andy Pettitt. Now the
New York Post started sniffing around. They started finding some
(03:55):
chinks in the armor there, and they did a little
look around Dobbins and his story. They turned out, they
investigated it and they determined that Lance Dobbins never was
drafted by the Yankees, not twice, not even once. He
was also never traded to Arizona. He was never in
(04:16):
the Diamondbacks organization. And they reached out to Andy Pettitt
and they said, hey, Andy, can you tell us a
little bit about your friendship with Lance Dobbins, and Andy
Pettitt said, Who's that? He says he does not remember
anyone named Lance Dobbins in his.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Life, So question who goofed?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I've got to know now when asked about this hullabaloo.
When asked about the hullabaloo, Hunter Dobbins, that's the baseball
player for the Red Sox, he said, the whole backstory,
it's something that I had heard growing up and seeing
pictures of from my dad.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Quote continues, he said.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
At the end of the day, all right, at the
end of the day, I don't go and fact check
my dad or anything like that. Now, he added that
the New York Post story quote doesn't phaze me. He said, Okay,
good for you. So he doesn't have egg on his face.
He doesn't seem to care.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
But Chizmo tough guy. Tough guy, all right, So let
us discuss question.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins caught fibbing about his father's
career with the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
What is the question on everyone's mind on this one?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So I've got Judge, Judy Shaggy Dog and chat GPT
and we will combine all of these things together and
we will hit the button.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
We're gonna hit the button.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So, first of all, the question everyone's mind is what
happened to Wi Fi? Does Hunter Dobbins not through the internet?
Did he think that nobody was going to fact check
his story to see what was going on? Hunter Dobbins
a guy who, by the way, by the way, has
been in the major leagues for about ten minutes and
(06:07):
has already produced two Mallard monologues despite middling results on
the mound. And yet he's He's like, well, I'm gonna
become a Red Sox folk hero.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I am a Red Sox folk hero.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
My story is so good I would rather retire than
wear that ugly Yankee pinstripe uniform. Okay, that's a juicy story.
But then bam, all right, he builds it all up.
It's like a sob story, a real tragedy. The Yankees
did my family wrong. The Yankees traded my daddy, bad
(06:42):
job by them. They broke my little heart as a child.
Boo freakin' who embellishing, going on and on and on,
and we get the whole Yankee red sock bad blood.
This is another chapter, however, plot twist, plot twist.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You don't have to be TV judge Judy.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
To know that there is not an ounce. There's not
an ounce of truth in anything that you've said. If
you're going to turn a grudge into this amazing origin
story as a little boy growing up and all this stuff, maybe,
and I know I'm asking for too much, have at
least part of it be true.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Have a part of it. It's twenty twenty five, okay.
And the issue is you don't.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Have to be some kind of high falutint investigative journalism.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's one tap tap tep.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You can do too, tap tap, and Dobbin says, I
don't go back and fact check my dad, which technically
it would not be a fact check.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You're just clicking on Baseball Reference.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
They have a page for everyone who was in the
minor leagues and the major leagues, and it's like a
pride page.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Oh there's my dad's.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
If my dad played in baseball and had a page
on Baseball Reference, I would click on that be like, oh,
I want to see the stats, let me see the
cities he played in. And you're telling me that Hunter
Dobbins never did that one time. It makes no sense. Oopsie,
the backstory is Bologne. It is bology, and you can't
(08:25):
build a personal origin story, a brand story on revenge
and it's all a myth that falls apart like some
cheap giveaway umbrella at Yankee stated like this is like
a kid saying, oh, yeah, my dad, My dad played
in the National Football League, And it turns out that
(08:49):
he just went to Lambeaufield's gift shop and he bought
a jersey, a Packers jersey. But he played in the NFL.
He was at he got his jersey at lambeau Field.
So I thinically he's not wrong. The dad did get
the jersey at lambeau Field, but he didn't get it
from the team.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
He had to pay for it.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Now, secondly, how is it possible, How is it possible
that this picture Hunter Dobbins of the Red Sox ended
up this deep in the Pinocchio pickle jar so the
obviously we already covered the other, the lack of Google aside,
it is a reminder that children. We are so gullible
(09:33):
as kids, right, I mean everyone, we all start out
just so goible. Now some people continue to be golible
even as they become grown ups and when Dobbin says,
I don't go and fact check my dad. That's his
way of saying, my dad lied, I don't care, right,
And so it got me thinking, if you've ever been
(09:56):
in that situation where you've been given as a kid
shaggy dog story and you've just repeated it and repeated
it and those iconic, you know, the bedtime fables like
my mom in my in my house growing up, my
mom would tell me some amazing bedtime story timeless tales, right,
(10:18):
you know, once upon a time, you know, not your time,
but a long time ago. Like if I was Hunter Dobbins, dad,
I'd be like, once a time, once upon a time,
you know, not your time, long time ago.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I pitched for the Yankees, and I was roommates with
Andy Pettitt and we did steroids on the road and
we went out. We had a great time. It was
one blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Blah uh unless not unless that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Now, if you want more on that, you can watch
my webinar.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And on the webinar we have speeches from Santa Claus,
Hanka Harry, the Easter Bunny, and the MC of.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That will be the Tooth fairy.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
So we'll have all that for you in my webinar
on how this could happen now, final fault, change it
up a little bit, Hot Pope talk.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
That's right, hot Pope talk. Well, this week several of
you fine Catholic lads.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Send me photos of Pope Leo, the guy from Chicago
who is now confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt his Major
League Baseball fandom, by rocking a white Sox hat with
the pope wardrobe on below that in Vatican City. Yes,
(11:36):
the Pope was wearing a white Sox hat at the
Vatican as he was greeting the public. Is this fabulous
fashion or is this a faux paw of fashion? So
we thought about this for about five seconds and we
realized looking at the white Sox record and looking at
(11:58):
the power of the Pope, the power of the poppel right,
we determined this is obviously a focal. In fact, when
I saw this photo, my first thought was Ai and
not Alan Irison.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
This is chat GPT. That is a doctored photo.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
There is no way that the head of the Catholic
Church is gonna be rocking a white Sox hat during
an audience at Saint Peter's square. Turns out he did
what in the world, as Jackie Slater would say, what
in the world that is a fashion fail? Is what
that is? Because the White Sox s think anyway, But
(12:40):
you're tell me that I thought the Vatican had a
dress code. If you're the Pope, right, you gotta wear
that white outfit all the time. And do you think
the Pope ever just wears his like civilian clothes and
goes out and gets a burger somewhere.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Probably not right, Probably not, And.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I get the whole story as a civilian back in Chicago,
Pope Leo as a White Sox man. And as we
pointed out, we were on the air after the White
Sox won the World Series in five, so he's probably
a Mallard militia guy, the Pope.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
But hey, Pope, you got traded. You're playing.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I'm told you're playing for a bigger team. So now
that said, the White Sox obviously need all the prayers
they can get. How many different pulpe related promotions are
the White Socks going to have next year? Pope Leo bobblehead, right,
they'll do that Pope Leo poster'll I mean, they'll have
(13:29):
a bunch of giveaway right, Why wouldn't they? Now I
saw somewhere it was a snap back hat. They could
not get the pupe a fitted Chicago White Sox hat.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
It was a snapback, snap back hat. Bad job by it.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Now that said, I have been hearing that that hat
that was worn by the pope. There's a million different
hats you can wear with the White Sox logo on it,
but that one is already sold out pretty much everywhere
on the interweb.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Very popular hat. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Now that the White Sox financially, this is a prayer
being answered, right, because a financial prayer for the White
Sox has been answered with that that image will be
shown all over the place and the White Sox will
monetize that I can gare onto you, guare onto you.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So it is the Ben Mahler Show. And this is
the part.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Normally I give out the phone number, and I solicit
phone number.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Phone calls, not the phone. I give out the number.
The phones though.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
They're not completely down, but they're they're kind of drunk.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's like only a couple of lines are working. It's
not it's not good. So I don't know if we
didn't pay our phone bill or the phone company. There's
gremlins in the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So I'm not sure exactly how that happens. I don't know,
but it has happened. So if you want to press
your luck and see if you can get through. You
probably won't, but you can try, and if not, that's fine.
We've got plenty of things to talk about. But we
would like to mix some calls in just to change
it up rather than me just drone on and on.
So if you want to try to get in eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six,
(15:13):
sixty three sixty nine, and if you do get in,
consider yourself very lucky. Consider yourself very lucky, because there's
people reaching out complaining it's not working.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I'm upset, I'm calling in it's not working. I don't understand.
Blah blah blah blah blah. We will have asked Ben
later this hour. Ask Ben.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Your questions are answers on the X machine hashtag ask Ben.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
That'll be coming up in a little bit time now.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Though, for the malor riddle of the day, all right,
Tasia Stoyakovich. That's a old basketball player from back in
the in the nineties. Tasia Stoyakovic recently claimed that Rich
Paul blank the Kings to trade de Aaron Fox Again
(16:03):
Peiser Stoakovic a big star in the early two thousands
for the Sacramento Kings. He claims that Rich Paul Lebron's bff,
Rich Paul blanked the Sacramento Kings to trade d Aaron
Fox for Zach Levine.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
That is the malor riddle of the day. The answer,
We'll get to it, and we will do it.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Next.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Bill Miller and you, it is the Ben Mahler Show.
We know you have options binocular ones. We thank you
for listening to the show on the red eye flight.
You're working the third shift with us, Welcome and thank you.
If you're up late with insomnia, that works. If you're
(16:59):
dealing with the keeping crud or just snoring a lot
and listening a little bit like Old Man River in Florida,
that's fine. You can't interact with the show. The phones
are mostly down. If you can call up seventy five times,
(17:21):
you might be able to get in. However, the social
media pages are working and you can send your questions
in via the social media and answer bits on the show.
And we have asked Ben coming up in a little
bit hashtag ask Ben. Your questions are answers. We'll get
to that in a few minutes, and you can say
(17:42):
a little Ben at Ben Maler Loreina FSR, Tech Queen
and Cooper Loop a Bronco fan. Your comments can and
we'll be used against you in the court of sports
talk radio. So act accordingly. And now back to the nonsense.
What it's not nonsense. It's just a radio show. And
(18:06):
we have the mallor Riddle of the day, the malor
Riddle of the day, and.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
We'll get to that right now. If you'd like to
answer the real.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Hashtag, but there's actually no hashtag, you just answer the ddle.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You just tag me and then you're you're good to go.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
We started the hour ranting about the Red Sox pitcher
Hunter Dobbins, who was caught lying.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Now that's not an all time great lie. It's a
small lie, and it.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Sounds like it's believable. His dad told him that as
a kid, and he just believed it. And he's just
a dumb, dumb jock, and he never looked looked at
it up.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's possible. It's also possible.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
That he embellished the story greatly and he knew a
long time ago that was not the case, but he
went with it anyway. But the mallor riddle of the
day early two thousands basketball legend Pasio Stoyakovich. He claims
that Bronze bff Rich Paul blanked the Kings to trade
(19:04):
the Aaron Fox.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
And that is the mallor riddle.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Of the day. Let's see Scrooge got it right. Bad
job by him, He obviously cheated. Donkey Sausage said something
to do with NonStop farting is the answer. Berg Dog
says he threatened to break their stupid beam.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That that is the the answer. Who else do you have?
Page down? Some kind of Asian massage.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
From Stevie Meatball's Bill says, just watched a full movie
on b E T during the breaking Napoleon Dynamite. Well,
good for you, stooped from Alf the alien opiner. It's
a great word.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Sweet kiss from mister Irrigation in Houston. Page down gargled
from John I lean off topics says, please don't use
Andy Pettitt as.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
A source source for the truth?
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Fair point?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Page down? I can't can't read that on the on
the air. All right enough, Lorena, do you have an answer, Lorena, I'm.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Gonna keep it simple and say that he begged them, begged.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Them, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Patavic Soyakovich claimed Rich Paul Lebron's bff blanked the Kings
to trade the Aaron Fox.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
The answer is you're wrong, Lorena. The answer is blackmailed, blackmail.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And according to Paiserstoyakovich, he says it seems there was
a directive from his agent, Rich Paul, who played a
key role and blackmailed the teams on which player was
supposed to be to get traded and to wear. Stoyakovich
claimed he he brought Fox to the Spurs, and Zach Lavine,
(21:02):
who is his player, he brought.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Him to Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
By doing this, he limited Sacramento from a business standpoint,
stating that they get a bit more from this trade
with Fox if they had the same discussion with some
other teams in the NBA. So Petros Sijakovic saying it
was blackmail, the evil doings of the agent. And there's
(21:27):
no funny business happens in the NBA. They do not
believe in funny business. They just it is against the
ethos of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It just is.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And I don't care what you say. Everything's on the
up and up. There's no rig games. The Tim Donnie
thing was just a lone wolf.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That's it. Just a lone wolf. And that's all there is,
all right. So I mentioned the phones are not working.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Ever, I guess one line is working. So we have
like there's I somehow blind Emmett won the lottery. It's
that blind superpower that he has and he's able to
call in. I don't know how you got through, Hello,
blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah, it must not be, you know, the blind superpowers
for blind Scott, because I didn't have to call two
hundred and eighty five times. I had to call it
once and then I talked the coup for a little
bit and then he said called back after I reseaid it,
and then I called back and it worked.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
So so you I don't know what are called. You
called twice and you're two for two.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, two for two fieldal range or percentage better than
Shaye today, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Do we believe that? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Yeah, because uh, nobody was on hold when he called. Okay,
so there's probably been a bunch of calls wall Emmett's
been on hold.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, probably as soon as soon as.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
He hangs up, it'll it'll start ringing. It's it's kind
of just you.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Know, yeah, all right, Well, well it's fine.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You guys want to play the guessing game.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Well, you can't force the guessing game.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
No, Well, this one so I had a caller on
my show today, you know, on the Twitter spaces, and
they asked me probably the weirdest question I've ever been
asked in doing five years of podcasting. You guys want
to take a guess on what she asked me.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Look at this guy just casually putting his whole round.
I've done five years of podcasting. This is the craziest
question I've ever been.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
It's kind of wild, Ben. You got to guess.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Well, I mean it's very very generic, like what you
you left a lot of real estate wide open.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
There's a lot I don't know is your podcast about?
Speaker 6 (23:43):
You said, it's the wildest question you've ever been asked?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I know, but is it a sports question or just
about whatever?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
It kind of relates to the sports. It's a little
bit dirty, all right, So it's a.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Little dirty, it's about sports. I don't know. She asked
you if you watch games naked?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
No, she actually did talk about nude hockey. But the
weirdest part she asked was, have you had any sexual
intercourse with the athletes to talk about on the show?
As we're talking about SGA and uh and all those
guys and Jalen Williams and Tyree Haliburt and yeah, I
was like, I don't sling that way. I was like,
I was so like thrown off by Alsa. I've never
(24:22):
expected to get asked that ever. I mean, like, Ben,
have you been asked anything weird like that before?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Oh, people don't ask me weird questions then will come
back to you. They would never ask me.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Of course, I get asked stupid questions all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Yeah, that wild right.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Ones asked me if I've slept with any NBA players?
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Is this an OnlyFans model that you were interviewing?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
No, I wasn't an interview. She just came on like
because on space is it's kind of like this where
you can call in and like ask questions.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
So somebody busting your balls. It was a woman.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Yeah, controlling, but it's free content for the show. Ben.
You know people want to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Okay, thank you to hear about that.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Rescorren seventeen points last night so or two nights ago. Now, So,
I mean I think i'd take that over WNBA talk right, Well, you.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Can handle you can dominate the w NBA talk. I'm
gonna leave that all to you. You can be my
w NBA guy.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
And not even me. That's third Dog. I heard Ford
Dog once again. Get into it.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
No, no, you know that loser supermarket Steve. That guy,
don't do that.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
He's a cool guy, but he might. Yeah, he's very
into it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You're right, Well, the only reason he's cool is because
he lives in a freezer.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's the only reason.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
He's Hey, hey, give me that ice cream, you know,
falk my ice cream for me. Thank you, Steve, you know,
appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, yeah, all right, well there you go.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
So I can't Now I'll have to call you up
and ask a weirder question than that.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah, let's if you can do it, then challenge it
on air on Twitter if you guys want to, you know,
try and beat that woman's question.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
All right, there he goes, five year veteran I knew
him when he was nobody.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I dam it. Now he's dominating. He's kicking something. He's got.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Not just a podcast, it's one of the great podcasts
of all time.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, that's that's it.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Who's your bills? Completely hammered, he says, are we doing
a podcast or not?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I have dibbs. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I will do I do three podcasts a week on Friday,
I do one on Saturday, and I do the mailbag
on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That's it. That is the the podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Scrooge says, holy blank, but I actually got the Mallard
Riddle of the Day correct.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yes you did, and you claim you did not cheat.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Whether that's true or not. I have my doubts. I
have my doubts. I think there might have been some
funny business going on you and Stevie Meatballs.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Something. Something's up there, something's up.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
So the NFL Players Association, they have issued some commentary.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
They are very upset because the world Cup is coming
to America. Are you excited North America? No, Hey, I'll
talk about I mean, I'm not that exciting. But there'll
be some some you know, with all these nice cups. Okay,
well there'll be a lot of cups.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
So we'll get into some of the peripheral stories around
the World Cup.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I don't know how much of the.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Actual soccer or footfall as the rest of the world
calls it, we'll pay attention to. But there's always remember
that a couple of World Cups ago, that was that
there was a head butt controversy. There was the I
think in Brazil they had the whistles or not whistles,
but they had the horns the.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Yeah yeah, and then the head was a Ziadine Zidan
or how are you saying like that?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, yeah. So those are those were really good stories
for the show.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
We talked about those World Cup stories and so those
were good for the show. Uh, and there'll be something
like that in this World Cup. But anyway, get to
the point, please. So the stadium where the Jets and
Giants play met Life Stage in New Jersey is hosting
a bunch of World Cup matches and they put a
grass field. They installed a grass field for the World Cup.
(28:09):
For years, NFL players have bitched and moaned and complained
and just gone crazy. We need grass. We need a grass.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Field in MetLife Stadium. We need it.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So the NFL Players Association has weighed in on the
great debate with a social media post about MetLife Stadium
adding grass.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
The union has lobbied.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
For years and years and years for teams to change
the playing service to grass.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
The reason they'll tell you in New Jersey they.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Can't do it is because there's too many games in
a short amount of time.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
So like, what are we doing? You can't the field?
We get torn up? Then you'd complain about that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So the NFLPA on social media sent out they kind
of copied a photo or a little video clip of
a TV station in New York that showed the grass
field on the pitch as it was being installed, and
they NFL Players Associations said, looks nice. And then they
had the mister peanut, I call it emoji with the monocle,
(29:19):
you know, with the mono you're kind of looking at
it on hashtag safer fields and all. This is the
Great Crusade, The Great Crusade of the.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
NFL Players Association. Logistically, of course it's not.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
It's not possible in most stadiums, and so that people
get all worked up. And there actually have been studies
done that have pointed out that, well, there are a
bunch of injuries on turfields.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Just because you put a grass field down does not mean.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
All of a sudden you are golden. You're you're good
to go. There's no no issues at all. Ferg Dog says,
do not put that evil on me. I am not
a w NBA stand all right, maybe Kathy and Madison
is she's howling at the moon, our friend Kathy in Madison.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
We are moments away from ask Ban. Now.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That is your questions, our answers. That's ask Ban. And
if you'd like to get a question in hashtag, ask
Ben on the X machine and you can send that
question in and let's real quick, get Mike the Leprechaun
on then we'll get to ask Ben.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Hello, Mike the Leprechaun, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
I'm lucky too, huh, I got in.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Well, how is that the people that the calls have
got on their are regulars like nobody outside that because
you regulars are motivated the people outside the regular element.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
They don't. They're not motivated.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
I break I know how to break in. I break
the code. By the way, Crook Park, where the Steelers
and the Vikings are playing in September, is half glass
and half AstroTurf, and I used to play it back
there with the only a wet soccer field back in
the nineties. So that's a new the cup Crooked Park.
It's beautiful, So Steelers, it's where Rogers ended up correct
(31:07):
and he's trying against the Vikings, which is incredible. I
think that's really a funny juxtaposition. Anyway, what else, jeez,
you caught me up, guard, I have a joke, so
great jokes. What do you call a fake a noodle?
A fake noodle? Are you gun?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Oh no? But do you call a fake noodle an impasta?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, thank you?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
The nineteen eighties would like that joke back, So if
you can leave that joke back in the nineteen eighties,
they would like that joke back. Okay, So we're all
much dumber for taking that phone call. Outstanding, we will
press on and it's asked.
Speaker 1 (31:52):

You're a veteran of the podcast word.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, I mean now, I usually am pretty these days.
I don't spend my money on much. I gen only.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Save it, I guess, so when I die someone will
get a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
It was the dumbest thing. Well, I did buy a house.
I don't own it the government. I paid taxes and
all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
But I put a big payment down on a house
at the advice of my real estate advisor, Tom Looney,
right before the housing market crashed. Seventeen years ago. Terrible investment,
horrific investment. So that would be the worst thing financially,
the worst thing. But I mean not about other dumb stuff,
but not recently.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
What about you, Lorena a carry on bag that could
have fit underneath the seat in front of me? Like,
just such a waste of money.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
You bought a carry on that was not able to
fit on the plane.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (34:59):
Okay, I think she paid for carry on and pay
for it and it could have it could have fit
under the seat as a personal.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Oh you checked it in, Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I got Yeah, Well isn't isn't the hack? Usually you
don't check your bag in and then they say does
anyone want to check your bag in?
Speaker 1 (35:18):
And then that's it, ready to gate. You do it
at the gate. You save money that way.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
No, yeah, I know that's the way to do it.
But yeah, cool, uh you know it's probably uh NFL
direct TV and NFL Sunday ticket for the however many
like fifteen years that I did that, Yeah, God, thousands
of dollars to direct TV and.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Watch to watch the Broncos lose games, I guess.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Yeah. And by the way, YouTube TV raised their prices
for Sunday ticket this year, it's now like five dollars
for Sunday ticket with red zone.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
You're a high You're a big spender.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
I don't know if I'm gonna do it this year.
That's just it's just a little bit too far from me.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
You're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
You'll see some stories about the Broncos being good this year.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
You'll do it.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
I'm gonna try to figure out some some loophole.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Okay, all right, talk to Eddie he might know away.
All right, what is next year? It's ask Ben. Your
questions are run. Damn it the rest of the hour.
Damn it is not a question.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
I wish I had seen it. I wish i'd seen
this before I read that, because I just saw another,
a better question from from blind Emmett.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
But well, we'll give this question in. I mean, we
can't just have blind Emmitt Bogart the show.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
All right, let's do a question here from a donkey sausage.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Hi donkey.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
He wants to know have you ever been I'm assuming
this is just for you, but have you ever been
too scared to head home after a show?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Oh? Because of.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
The craziness in the world. Uh No, No, I I
do get sometimes I the one oh one freeway here
in LA through downtown. I often am worried that some
lunatic protesters will jump on the freeway, and I'm like,
what will I do?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
You know, because that does worry me. But other than that,
I know, I'm not I don't really live my life
like that. If something happens, that happens. But uh, that's
not the only thing like that? Is that only for me? Next?
Speaker 6 (37:25):
All right?
Speaker 7 (37:26):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (37:26):
Josh the Bears fan, he's in Nebraska. Yeah, but he
would like to know. Would you rather go on a
cruise or a bus tour?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So I've never been on a cruise. I have some
people in my circle that love cruises.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
They say it's amazing, it's all inclusive, you can eat
whatever you want. Other people say it's terrible, it's you know,
it's it's old people, and it's people that you don't.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Want to hang out with. So I've never done that.
And the idea of being on.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
A bus where it's a bunch of other people on
the bus that have body how about none of the above.
If I had to choose, I guess I'd go bus
because I've never done the cruise.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Things. So I've heard mixed reviews. What about you, Lorena, Oh.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
I love both them. Cruises are great because you know,
you got the.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
All inclusive food and you can just sit by the
pool all day.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
But the bus tour is nice because you can actually
walk around and get off and look at different things
around the cities.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
And I love that.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Yeah, okay, well they say those they do the My
friend Jerry is a big boat guy, and they go
to different cities and you go.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Yeah, you can.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
You can get off the cruise ship too. I love cruises.
I think they're awesome.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
If you're all about the cruise.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
Yeah, I mean you don't mean. It might be a
bunch of old people, but you don't have to interact
with them. You go with the people that you want
to spend time with, and then.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Hate old people.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
I just I just.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
All right, what's next? Where are we at to ask? Ben?
Your questions are answered now?
Speaker 6 (38:55):
The King Rory would like to know what is more
annoying Burning your tongue while eating or biting yourself while eating.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Well, I've done both. I did. I did a week
of radio. I had a lisp. I sounded like this
old Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz. I ate pizza.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
It was hot, and I ate it too fast, and
I burned my tongue.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
I also bit my tongue.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I am such a klutz and the result is you
sound terrible. So I'd say the burn is worse than
the bite. I'll go burn Lorena.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Oh, it's got to be the bite for me. When
I get the inside of my lip or the cheek.
Oh my gosh, then you get it again because it's swollen.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah, just wait till you burn your tongue. What about you.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
The burn is so much worse because then you can't
taste things for a while.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Oh, it's horrible, and it's just it's you.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Oh, you have to you can't get it rid of.
The tongue is involved in everything you need. I mean
that sounded bad, but it is. I mean, it's a
central part of what you
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Do, talking, eating other things.
