Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our dumb three, our three of the original Recipe
podcast on this Thursday, as we roll with the punches
and we're talking bays Ball, Can you explain how red sock?
Jared Duran has the top rated jersey this week on
MLB Shop after being suspended for a homophobic slur. Also,
(00:28):
the Mets closer Edwin Diaz says that A's pitcher Austin
Adams crossed the line by mocking the team's OMG celebration
yay or nay on this being a real beef, and
the Marlins have told the star pitcher, former Cy Young
winner Sandy Alcantara, that he won't be traded should he
(00:51):
believe them.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We'll talk about that as well. Here it is our
number three. Put a sock in it, Yeah, I just
put a socket.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
A Welcome In the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere, fellow taxpayers,
as we shake up the status quo coast to coast,
sport of the border and beyond on the vast and

Ed in Arlington had ten thousand cigars to celebrate the
Rangers winning the World Series last year. Ti iraq dot
com the Way Tire Buying Show be and our lead
(02:02):
this hour is from baseball, a story that we did
not anticipate.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
We would go back to, but here we are.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's one of the bigger stories in the sport of
baseball this week that is talk radio friendly. I love
baseball and I try to talk about it every day,
but it's not a sport that lends itself generally to
this format. It doesn't provide the content that we need
most of the time until the playoffs. But sorry, out
of Boston that happened over the weekend has taken an
(02:31):
unexpected turn.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
A lot of blowback because of what happened at the
Red Sox game on Sunday against the cheating As one
thousand and two one thousand holes.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Jaron Durant, who was the All Star Game MVP, probably
heard about this right.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I used an.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Anti gasler over the weekend, screamed it out of the
fan who was Hecklingam. Well, it turns out that not
everyone is upset with Jared Durant. In fact, there is
a grassroots movement of support.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Now, let me give you the thumbnail recap if you
got so.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Jared Duran's an outfielder for the Red Sox and he
used this comment. There was a fan heckling him about
using a tenant. He needed a tennis racket to hit
the ball. It's just pretty low on the level of
heckling in a town like Boston or placed like Philadelphia.
And so immediately after that there were a bunch of
declarations and proclamations that came out.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It was so over the top.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You had woke MLB corporate involved, You had the Red
Sox everyone working over time to censure.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Jared Durant. They were trying to you know, this is
a terrible, horrible he was going over the top right now.
He ended up being suspended for two games. He was
publicly shamed.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And it was a the way I would describe it
because I pay attention to this stuff because I'm a.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Loser, and I pay attention to these statements and all
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It was a urinating contest and it was one of
those deals like I'm more offended than you, or I'm
on a correct list better than you.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It was that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And surprise, surprise, surprise the plot to us?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Now, what is the plot tow us?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Will?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I will give it to you right now. If you
didn't see this, maybe you didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So we have now learned that Jared Duran has, when
I say, grassroots support is probably bigger than that.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It is.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Wild how much support according to the people at fanatics,
Jared Uran. You know where his jersey ranks in sales
in Major League Baseball this week?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Number w.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, Jared Duran has the top selling jersey, we are
told in the majors. Yeah, opping Sho Hail Tani and
Aaron Judge and every other star in baseball Jared Duran
of the Red Sox. Now, is this a coincidence? Of
(05:14):
course not, of course not. Let us discuss the question.
Can you explain to me, like I'm five years old,
how the Red Sox outfielder Jared Duran has the top
rated jersey on the MLB Fanatics partnership. There After, being
suspended for the homophobic slur. So I've got tricky Dick, pedestal,
(05:37):
and cotton candy, and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are going to rally.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
The troops, is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
So my first thought on this is it's not that deep, right,
Most of the things we talk about are not that deep.
And this is a moment in time where a lot
a lot of people over what has happened the last
ten years or so, and really the last maybe even
(06:07):
five years. I think the point was like twenty sixteen,
twenty fifteen, so I guess it's almost been ten years.
There's a lot of people upset with we'll call him
the word police or whatever. Now, we thought Jared Duran
should have been fined. We said that, and that would
have been fine to find him. I remember Kobe Bryant,
he said some things to believe it of official, he
(06:28):
got fine.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
These things happen every once in a while in the
heat of the moment.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And I look at Jared Duran as just a meathead
baseball player who has a low boiling point, short fuse
how we want to say.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It, and he was triggered by tennis.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Reck Now, dude, I don't know Jared Duran either. To you,
you think that he hates gay people. There's a lot
of people that use that word that I shouldn't use
that word. Okay, fine, but there's a difference between like
being an actual bigot and just using that word. Now, again,
he should have been fined, and that's it, but that's
not the story. The story here is the way this
(07:03):
was handled. I think really the reaction is because of
how major League Baseball in the Red Sox handled this
and a number of people in the media.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That's why this is weird. I guess rebellion is the
right word.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Because the suspension's one thing which you think, well, that's
kind of ridiculous, and then you've got these lectures, from
these lectures to the unwashed, from these big shots in baseball,
you get the media think pieces from the elites and
the media, and so.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It's a teachable moment.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
As Tricky Dick, the former president Richard Nixon, in one
of his great political advisors or friends or whatever, he
came up with this line, the people have spoken, the bastards, right,
That was the line. Not so silent if it's majority
or not of people are tired of the wokism and
the political correctness and all that, so much so that
(07:55):
they're letting their wallets do the talking. I don't know
how else you can interpret this. Is there any other
way to interpace them? Am I misreading the room on this?
And you can tell me if I am? But they're
they're giving the Major League Baseball Culture club ulcers right
now because this is embarrassing for baseball. It's like, this
is our sport. We cleaned up this mess to pr fiasco.
(08:17):
You know what it reminds me of was that a
month or two ago, Harrison Buckner, the kicker for the Chiefs,
he went to he's speaking.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
He was a keynote speaker at a graduation at a.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Religious university and he said a number of things that
led to over the top reaction and he had one
of the top selling jerseys in the NFL after that.
So it's like a similar It's a little different, obviously,
but it's it's parallel.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So that's my position.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Secondly, we pivot to Queens in New York.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
There the New York Metropolitans Edwin Diaz has announced that
the a's pitchers follow up A's pitcher Austin Adams, quote
cross the line goes quote by mocking the team's OMG celebration.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yay or nay on this.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Being a legitimate, real beef. So I'm gonna say, where's
the beef?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I'm gonna go nay. This is hyperbolee is what it is.
It's contrived.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
What if I told you that Austin Adams, the pitcher
for the soon to be Sacramento A's and then the
Las Vegas A's, but currently the Oakland A's for a
few more games, that Austin Adams was actually putting the
Mets on a pedestal. He is a disgruntled former employee.
(09:44):
He's thirty three years old. He's a journeyman pitcher. You've
likely never heard of him.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Why would you.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
He typically pitches in mop up, low pressure situations in
the middle innings when you're either not watching because you're
not watching the game, or you're at the game and
you're eating your nachos and your hot dog and your
peanuts and your pets. And he was in spring training
camp with the Mets and they said, get out of here.
(10:12):
You're rejected. They sold him. They sold him like something
at a flea market to the to the A's from
Port Saint Lucy. All right, final thought, we going down
of Miami down the road from Port Saint Lucy where
the Marlins formerly the Florida Marlins, now that the Miami Marlins.
The Marlins have told star pitcher Sandy al Kantara that
(10:35):
he won't be traded.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Now he's not pitching this year, but they said, you're
not gonna be traded. Should he believe them?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Survey says, yeah, shaking my head, No, that's what the
survey says. The odds, I will say this, the odds
are against a trade anytime soon because al Kantara is
rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Would probably gets the Dodgers front office horney to trade
for him. He also is on a.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Team friendly contract from what we understand. Nevertheless, do not
believe what they tell you. There's been some upheople on
the Marlin front office. They've gotten rid of a bunch
of people, which means they're going.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
To hire new people.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
These are cotton candy words. It's fluffy sugar, It spung
sugar is what it is. Ultimately, the Marlin franchise. If
you look at the business model of the Miami Marlins.
And I was there when they won their first World
Series back in the day, and back then they wanted
the biggest names.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
They spent the most mont Believe it or not, the
Marlins bought a championship. They did. I was that witness it.
But ultimately they want a championship.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Becau Jose Mason couldn't close the same anyway for the
Cleveland Indians. But ultimately the franchise likes prospects who are
suspects over proven big league talent. That's what they prefer.
They would like a suspect over a sure thing. And
it is a clearing house for flipping the established, for
(12:04):
the neophyte, for the whipper snapper. And all it takes
is the Dawyers, the Yankees or the Red Sox, the
usual suspect or a mystery team to go Marlon Brando
from the Godfather and say, you know, I'm gonna make
him an offer the GM of the Bolence that.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
He cannot refuse, and you're on your way.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
He had Tommy John surgery last year and is not
going to pitch at all this year, which means the
Marlins if they traded him, they'd be selling low rather
than waiting for him to pitch well for a couple
months and then trading him. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
If you would like to be part, you can join
(12:48):

So malar riddle of the day.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
An Olympic pole vaulter has made over one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars since winning not a golder of silver,
a bronze medal because of blank.
Speaker 1 (14:03):

The great silent majority of listeners to the Ben Malor
Show sit on the sidelines, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Mallor Show. Just follow your host
on x He's at Ben Mallar and you can post
at and follow our technical producer. She plays all the
music in most of the funny sound bites on the
Ben Mallard Show. Her first name is Lorraine Ah and
(15:27):
she's at FSR Tech Queen. The drops are back NL
live from the Tyraq dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Mallar, Chippy.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
The q's writes in, and we'll pay off the Mallard
riddle here in a second chip in the Q says
a plus or the Malon monologue. A relative of mine,
by the way, just turn ninety years old. We got
him a rapid radio as a birthday. If he loves it,
it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oh get it.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
My father in law just turned ninety. Maybe we should
get in one.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
Did he use code Maler, No, there's no code code
radio radio.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
There's gotta be a chip.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Thank you Chip for your support of the advertisers here.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
We thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Rapid Radio is a great sponsor, and if they have
a place on their website there to say where you
heard it, you say our show, that would help. But
Chip's always been a great supporter of our sponsors. He
also I believe Chip told us was it last year?
Two years ago he got tires from tire rack dot
com as well supporting this show. We thank you, Kelly
Donut Kelly in Nashville says, you are correct. He says
(16:36):
on the monologue, this just proves that most of the
world is not overly sensitive. Just the people that seem
to be louder are.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah. I have noticed that.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I've noticed in my travels, and I've done a lot
of these meet and greets with.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Fans of the show, friends of the show whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
There's an online world and then there's the real world.
And maybe who knows, it's a small sample size, but
I do get the sense that people act differently if
their public persona like on social media platforms than they do.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
In the real world.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Say, and for some reason, the big media companies haven't
really figured that out, and advertisers haven't figured that out.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's it's an odd thing.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And at some point I'm hopeful that will happen, that
people will realize, well, people aren't really that sensitive about
certain things, you know, not everyone's worked up into a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
And know there's always you know, the two percent.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Or five per whatever is it gets everything's the debacle,
you know, everything's a huge nuclear.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Story and all that. But for most people that's not.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
How they live their lives. They're just trying to get
through life and they get bills to pay and all that.
They don't get all worked up about all these stories anyway.
Time now for the malor riddle of the day. An
Olympic pole vaulter has made over one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars since winning not a goal, not a silver,
a bronze medal because of blank.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
That is the mallor riddle of the day. And what
is the answer?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Patrick in San Diego says, the dude won the first
medal for his country pole vaulting wallin paired from our
friend Kenneth the sports Lama. By the way, Danny, Miami
Danny's got to change his name. Random ex user doesn't
really work, Miami Danny. It doesn't work Masshole Mickey says,
from selling his toenail clippings.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Wow, that's pretty impressive. That's pretty president. Who else do
we have? JC got it right? He cheated?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Johnny que said the length of his poll was the answer.
JT the Wingman says he earned fifteen thousand dollars for
agreeing to do work for the Ohio Visitors Bureau with
Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, we've got JT. Can you be my boots on
the ground. JT. I know you're not in Ohio, You're
in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
We've got to find some Ohio Visitors Bureau and contact
them to see you do like a meet and greet
next year in Ohio and maybe they'll promote it or
something or pay for some of it, and that would
be that would be pretty good.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Page down Matt the Warrior Raider, Tom Brady Roast, Steph
Curry suck up, he got it right. Bad job by you,
Alf said, because of his prognostication skills, that is the answer.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Sour kraut flavored jello from the King Rory That was
his guess. Who else do we have here?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Mike the Leprechaun kind of got it right, but not
completely not completely far out. Dave said, because he can
roll a joint with his toes is the answer. Ferg
Dog says, because he sold the bronze medal for one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Eddie, Do you have an answer,
Eddie to the mallor riddle of the day?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (19:55):

Of course, you know I'm not that old. But there
was a show called Mash and there.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Was a guy was it clinger that wore a Toledo
Mudhens hat and it's the same hat that I have,
the same type of hat. So I'm like, oh, that's
kind of cool. Old school mud hens. And then when
I used to go feed the ducks at that lake
in the old old house I used to live in,
there were a bunch of mud hens that would come in.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I didn't know they were mud hens. I looked it up.
I was like, these they are these black and white birds.
And I was like, what is that and that it
was a mudhen and I said, Wow, that's kind of cool.
Like I was hanging out with the butt heads. So
that's the heat of the night.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Now, we know the Chicago White Sox are hot garbage
and they may set a record for the worst season
in baseball history. But even when you've got that, this
is rare. It's rare for this to happen, even when
teams suck. The White Sox are going to cut ticket
prices for next season by ten percent. That's nothing, Eddie, Yes,
(25:35):
but it's still something that no one ever does they
They never cut prices on anything. It doesn't matter how
bad they.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
But they they should cut prices by fifty percent.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Well image, that's never what It's never gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
They make their money from TV anyway, That's where they
make their money from.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Stick. It is still shocking because teams don't do this.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
And you know, my my my TV friends.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I was actually talking to them a few weeks ago
that the the White Sox are starting their own cable
channel in Chicago. The Jerry Reinsdorf is starting a cable
channel with Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Know White Sox. I think the Bulls are part of
that also, and maybe even the Blackhawks.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
They're all you know how it is with the UH.
These local cable outlets are kind of going the way
of the Dodo there the Bally Sports and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It's all about streaming now, That's that's what it's about. Hey,
I guess they figure they can make money at it.
That's why otherwise they wouldn't do it. But man, can
we sneak.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
A call in here? Are we do? We have to
go right to the asspend lary?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Are we are we available to jump?
Speaker 9 (26:44):
If we could sneak a call.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
All right, all right, let's say hello to donut Kelly
in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Hello, donut Kelly.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Doughnut does sound good? Right now?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
What kind of doll?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Not a cinem roll because it's not a donut?
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
That's that's your worst take ever? No, what about the.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Apple apple fritter? I like the apple fritters.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I got on.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Behalf of it.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Okay, we do have apple fritters, but when we ring
them in on the pos, that's not even considered in
the donut category. It's different. We have donuts, we have
specialty donuts, and then apple fritters are in a different
ringing category. So I don't think they're a donut either.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Okay, so then I hate donuts. I like apple fritters
and cinnamon rolls. I those cinnamon roll is a donut,
by the way. We we've been through this before, but.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Now it's an apple. An apple fritter is also a donut.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
It's different dough ben, But I mean it's fine, you know, No, No,
now I.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
Would I would say there is an argument that an
apple fritter is a donut, but a cinnamon absolutely is not.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
A GOOPO go with you? On this because the apple
fritter dough is the same as donut dough.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Right there you go, So it's more of.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
A donut than a cinnamon roll. Cinnamon roll is more
of a croissant type pastry, and.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
The doughnut, the apple fitter is prepared the same way
right deep fried, whereas a cinnamon roll.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Is BA cinnamon roll is not deep fried.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
You can't have a deep fall. You can't have a
deep fried cinnamroll. The people that do make those. That's
a different conversation, but actually really really fun air fryer.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
What the heck if you take the like uh canned
cinnamon rolls and put an oreo in between them and
put them in your air fryer, really badass?
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Wow that sounds I'm sorry you said to do?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
What can you repeat that? And talk talks lower.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
You take the you take the canned cinnamon rolls right,
and you flatten them out, and you take like and
then you put oreo in the middle. Double stuff works
best because then it melts better in the air fryer,
and then wrap it around it, put in your air fryer,
and you get an oreo stuff cinnamon roll.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
This is like, this is this is This is food
porn is what this is. What you're doing is food point.
This is amazing. This sounds unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I don.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Okay, but again, the apple fritter just like the sin roll.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I mean a lot of them in my life, and
every time I've gotten them, I've gone to a donut shop.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I bought them at a door.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Doesn't matter. That's not the proper criteria for what a
donut is.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Well, that's this my criteria. That sounds like a you problem,
not a me problem, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I love the apple friter too, but it's so rich.
If I eat a whole walk God, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
You're going You're eating a dessert, Eddie. What do you
what do you expect? And it doesn't doesn't like you
sound like my wife. She can play a smart lady.
I'm sure I do.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I can't. To me, I want the most sugar. I
can get what I meaning?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Show you know I dessert, Ben, I have know Ben.
I have a bone to pick with you, though, because
like I love the stone of discussion. Don't get me wrong,
but last week in one of your like lead ins,
you were like, okay, come on, Seattle, you're close, and
since then, Houston has won eight games in a row,
and we're, you know, crapping the bed.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
So so is your saying it's Ben's fault.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
There's no correlation.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
That's called that's called the curse of that Ben being
that happens.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Ben said, come on, let's go in his lead. Then
Hoons won eight in a row.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Benh Yeah, Well, I'll tell you what happened here.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I have a source not close to the situation that
tells me that the Astros I've been the terrible there
in Houston. He went on Timu and ordered new trash cans,
and that's why the a holes are winning again because
they got they got new trash cans from Timu.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
First of all, yeah, well some things are good, but
yeah it's I saw photos either.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Are those photos real of how they make the stuff
and ship the stuff from Timu like in sweatshops? Oh
they are, Oh okay, that's why it's so cheap.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, all right, I I got to go. Is that
a where I can I go?
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Is it all right?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
All right?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (30:51):
All right.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
There's our friend Donut Kelly, who works at a donut
chop that sells apple fritters and tried to argue that
an apple fritter is not a donut.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
She's clearly an expert.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
But again, if I go to her store, I can
buy an apple for her. And there's donuts in the
name of the.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
Store, so I can buy a cake pop at Starbucks.
But that doesn't mean it's a it's a take store.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
It is, it's a cake store. Yeah, got it, Okay,
we got it. Okay, very good. Ask Ben?
Speaker 2 (31:22):

Speaker 6 (32:38):
Well, how about all the James?
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (32:42):
I mean, like, do you know if you're allowed snore?
Speaker 8 (32:44):
I guess because I'm I don't snore really too often,
and even so it's not uh yeah, So I.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Have been told that I do not snore much.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I think back in the day when I was larger
in charge, there was some snoring, but uh, I don't
think I know that much.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Eddie, what are you here?
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I've been told that on occasion I will snore for
a few minutes and then it goes away. So I
guess when you're maybe when I'm first getting in that
deep sleep, that I can a little bit, but it
doesn't last too long.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Okay, all right, what about you, Lorraina?
Speaker 10 (33:23):
I do not snore unless I am pregnant, fat or sick,
and you are.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Not fat, you are not sick, although you sounded like
you were getting sick, and you're sick, you're pregnant.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So okay, all right, gotcha? All right?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Very good? Cool?
Speaker 8 (33:39):
No, yeah, not really not very loud, so I guess
so probably probably none of us.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Really all right, very good? What's next here? We are
having some fun here.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
It's asked Ben your questions and our answers.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
Donkey Sausage would like to know what activity groups were
you in during high school?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Well, I played football, I briefly played basketball, that was
pretty much it. And then I hung out with my
friends who all plotted to take over the world, and
none of them did.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I played football four years, I played baseball three years,
and I played soccer two years. And then I was
in the marching band as a trombone player.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Very rare you cross over football and marching.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
It is true, although we had a we had a
very prestigious marching band. We had over three Inndred members
and there was like six or seven guys who did
play football and were in the band too, So but
it is rare.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
That is rare.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah, there was a when I was in high school
that the band and the football they hated each other.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
They were like blood ribles. What about you about right?
Speaker 9 (34:39):
I was with a dance studio my whole high school career.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Oh yes, I was a dance Was that through? Was
that through the high school technically?
Speaker 3 (34:46):
No?
Speaker 9 (34:46):
But it was all of my high school mates who
went with me.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
So okay, Kuvulu, I don't really want to answer this question.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
He was in the Young Thespians, No.
Speaker 8 (34:57):
It was.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
It was a poetry club.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
Actually, Players of America.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
He wish.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, poetry.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yeah, we need some poetry who.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Could together read Shakespeare?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
I didn't know you write.
Speaker 8 (35:09):
You write your own poetry and then read it in
front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Roses are red, violence of blue, and I'm a better
poet than you.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I got a great story about the Sager and poetry,
but I don't have time to tell it right now, unfortunately, the.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Great Steve de Sager? What is next here? What do
we have?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
It's asked, Ben. Your questions are answers.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
The King Rory would like to know. Do you attend
family reunions?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I probably would now they haven't had one in a while.
There was one in Phoenix years ago and I didn't go,
and I kind of regretted because a lot of my
family's older and the other's dropping dead and I wish
I had gone, But uh I did. When I was
a kid, we used to go. We had big family reunions.
They got like theme T shirts and it was while
(36:00):
I have great memories of going. We won in Chicago,
one in Phoenix, there were some in La It was
it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
What about you, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
I would totally do it, but there's I don't know.
I've got one cousin who I still communicate with, and
that's it on in my family. I mean, everyone else
is either gone or I just don't know them. So yeah,
if somebody organized something and said, hey, come to this,
I would be like, hell, yeah, let's.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Do it, Loraina.
Speaker 9 (36:28):
I only go to reunions when someone dies, Ben, let's
call it the funeral. Yeah, that's when I see my family.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, generally, and I do go to a lot of funerals.
Speaker 10 (36:39):
But no, Honestly, my ex but his family would do
family reunions and I'd go with him, and I'm like,
this is so weird.
Speaker 9 (36:47):
This is my great aunt Martha.
Speaker 10 (36:49):
She lives over in North Dakota and I've haven't seen
her in five years.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
This is my girlfriend. Let me tell you it was
a nightmare when I was a kid. I go to
these events and you know, all my old from the
old world. Why don't you have a girlfriend? Why are
you fat? You know?
Speaker 10 (37:03):
I was like.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
These old, these old Jewish women. I was like, leave
me alone, you know, I just want to just want
to eat, you know.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
So that would have been something my grandmother would have
would have said.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
My grandmother they had no Yeah, Italian the Jews the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
I mean, they had no shame. I was like, dude,
just leave me alone. I don't uh coop. What are
you any family re union stuff?
Speaker 8 (37:27):
I don't know, not necessarily like a family reunion per se,
but like you know, one side of the family all
gets together for Christmas.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
That's there you go about it.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Okay, very good. We have the malord ugly sweater party
every year, but that's with friends and stuff. Yeah, and
we have we have another man for family.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
What my wife like small parties? What's next? What do
we have to ask?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Ben? Your your questions are answers. I'm all choked up.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
This is a good one from ferg Dog.
Speaker 8 (37:52):
He said, would you rather be stranded on the International
Space Station or in a submarine on the bottom of
the ocean?
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Man, how far are at the very bottom of the ocean?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yeah, that's like the same thing, though, right, you're not
going to make it out if you're in a submarine.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Let's see. So what I guess I'd go submarine.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
But if you you run out of oxygen like that?
What was that thing a couple of years ago that
they could imploded?
Speaker 8 (38:20):
Yeah, the Titanic just just crumble them to itself.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Yeah, but none of the above. But I guess I
would take space because it would be kind of cool
to see around. There's probably a bunch of aliens up
there they don't tell us about, you know, UFO things.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Well, what about you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Well, I would thoroughly hate either. But I would go
space station because, as you said, it would be I
think it would be cooler up in space than down
to the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah. I see everything we know in that little blue marble,
or as Kyrie would say, that little flat piece of thing.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
What about you about right?
Speaker 10 (38:53):
Now both absolutely terrify me. I'm probably gonna go for
the ocean, though. Why Because I feel like there's a
lot of cool creatures I'd be able to find down there,
and I could find something to occupy my mind instead
of just staring at the nothingness of space.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Okay, cool, quickly.
Speaker 6 (39:10):
Space is absolutely the right answer here.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
It's the only answer.
Speaker 9 (39:14):
No, it's not the other.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
No, the rain, the creatures at the bottom. Have you
seen the creatures of the bottom?
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Notion that it's terrible, they're disgusting.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
A better view while you die up in space.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Yes, your body can fall back down to Earth and
burn up when it comes from the Solar System.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
How great would that?
Speaker 6 (39:34):
Lovely m
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our dumb three, our three of the original Recipe
podcast on this Thursday, as we roll with the punches
and we're talking bays Ball, Can you explain how red sock?
Jared Duran has the top rated jersey this week on
MLB Shop after being suspended for a homophobic slur. Also,
(00:28):
the Mets closer Edwin Diaz says that A's pitcher Austin
Adams crossed the line by mocking the team's OMG celebration
yay or nay on this being a real beef, and
the Marlins have told the star pitcher, former Cy Young
winner Sandy Alcantara, that he won't be traded should he
(00:51):
believe them.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We'll talk about that as well. Here it is our
number three. Put a sock in it, Yeah, I just
put a socket.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
A Welcome In the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere, fellow taxpayers,
as we shake up the status quo coast to coast,
sport of the border and beyond on the vast and
(01:23):
unrealistically powerful microphones of FSR em monating live from wonder

Ed in Arlington had ten thousand cigars to celebrate the
Rangers winning the World Series last year. Ti iraq dot
com the Way Tire Buying Show be and our lead
(02:02):
this hour is from baseball, a story that we did
not anticipate.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
We would go back to, but here we are.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's one of the bigger stories in the sport of
baseball this week that is talk radio friendly. I love
baseball and I try to talk about it every day,
but it's not a sport that lends itself generally to
this format. It doesn't provide the content that we need
most of the time until the playoffs. But sorry, out
of Boston that happened over the weekend has taken an
(02:31):
unexpected turn.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
A lot of blowback because of what happened at the
Red Sox game on Sunday against the cheating As one
thousand and two one thousand holes.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Jaron Durant, who was the All Star Game MVP, probably
heard about this right.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I used an.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Anti gasler over the weekend, screamed it out of the
fan who was Hecklingam. Well, it turns out that not
everyone is upset with Jared Durant. In fact, there is
a grassroots movement of support.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Now, let me give you the thumbnail recap if you
got so.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Jared Duran's an outfielder for the Red Sox and he
used this comment. There was a fan heckling him about
using a tenant. He needed a tennis racket to hit
the ball. It's just pretty low on the level of
heckling in a town like Boston or placed like Philadelphia.
And so immediately after that there were a bunch of
declarations and proclamations that came out.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It was so over the top.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You had woke MLB corporate involved, You had the Red
Sox everyone working over time to censure.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Jared Durant. They were trying to you know, this is
a terrible, horrible he was going over the top right now.
He ended up being suspended for two games. He was
publicly shamed.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And it was a the way I would describe it
because I pay attention to this stuff because I'm a.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Loser, and I pay attention to these statements and all
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It was a urinating contest and it was one of
those deals like I'm more offended than you, or I'm
on a correct list better than you.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It was that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And surprise, surprise, surprise the plot to us?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Now, what is the plot tow us?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Will?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I will give it to you right now. If you
didn't see this, maybe you didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So we have now learned that Jared Duran has, when
I say, grassroots support is probably bigger than that.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It is.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Wild how much support according to the people at fanatics,
Jared Uran. You know where his jersey ranks in sales
in Major League Baseball this week?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Number w.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, Jared Duran has the top selling jersey, we are
told in the majors. Yeah, opping Sho Hail Tani and
Aaron Judge and every other star in baseball Jared Duran
of the Red Sox. Now, is this a coincidence? Of
(05:14):
course not, of course not. Let us discuss the question.
Can you explain to me, like I'm five years old,
how the Red Sox outfielder Jared Duran has the top
rated jersey on the MLB Fanatics partnership. There After, being
suspended for the homophobic slur. So I've got tricky Dick, pedestal,
(05:37):
and cotton candy, and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are going to rally.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
The troops, is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
So my first thought on this is it's not that deep, right,
Most of the things we talk about are not that deep.
And this is a moment in time where a lot
a lot of people over what has happened the last
ten years or so, and really the last maybe even
(06:07):
five years. I think the point was like twenty sixteen,
twenty fifteen, so I guess it's almost been ten years.
There's a lot of people upset with we'll call him
the word police or whatever. Now, we thought Jared Duran
should have been fined. We said that, and that would
have been fine to find him. I remember Kobe Bryant,
he said some things to believe it of official, he
(06:28):
got fine.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
These things happen every once in a while in the
heat of the moment.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And I look at Jared Duran as just a meathead
baseball player who has a low boiling point, short fuse
how we want to say.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It, and he was triggered by tennis.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Reck Now, dude, I don't know Jared Duran either. To you,
you think that he hates gay people. There's a lot
of people that use that word that I shouldn't use
that word. Okay, fine, but there's a difference between like
being an actual bigot and just using that word. Now, again,
he should have been fined, and that's it, but that's
not the story. The story here is the way this
(07:03):
was handled. I think really the reaction is because of
how major League Baseball in the Red Sox handled this
and a number of people in the media.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That's why this is weird. I guess rebellion is the
right word.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Because the suspension's one thing which you think, well, that's
kind of ridiculous, and then you've got these lectures, from
these lectures to the unwashed, from these big shots in baseball,
you get the media think pieces from the elites and
the media, and so.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It's a teachable moment.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
As Tricky Dick, the former president Richard Nixon, in one
of his great political advisors or friends or whatever, he
came up with this line, the people have spoken, the bastards, right,
That was the line. Not so silent if it's majority
or not of people are tired of the wokism and
the political correctness and all that, so much so that
(07:55):
they're letting their wallets do the talking. I don't know
how else you can interpret this. Is there any other
way to interpace them? Am I misreading the room on this?
And you can tell me if I am? But they're
they're giving the Major League Baseball Culture club ulcers right
now because this is embarrassing for baseball. It's like, this
is our sport. We cleaned up this mess to pr fiasco.
(08:17):
You know what it reminds me of was that a
month or two ago, Harrison Buckner, the kicker for the Chiefs,
he went to he's speaking.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
He was a keynote speaker at a graduation at a.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Religious university and he said a number of things that
led to over the top reaction and he had one
of the top selling jerseys in the NFL after that.
So it's like a similar It's a little different, obviously,
but it's it's parallel.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So that's my position.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Secondly, we pivot to Queens in New York.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
There the New York Metropolitans Edwin Diaz has announced that
the a's pitchers follow up A's pitcher Austin Adams, quote
cross the line goes quote by mocking the team's OMG celebration.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yay or nay on this.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Being a legitimate, real beef. So I'm gonna say, where's
the beef?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I'm gonna go nay. This is hyperbolee is what it is.
It's contrived.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
What if I told you that Austin Adams, the pitcher
for the soon to be Sacramento A's and then the
Las Vegas A's, but currently the Oakland A's for a
few more games, that Austin Adams was actually putting the
Mets on a pedestal. He is a disgruntled former employee.
(09:44):
He's thirty three years old. He's a journeyman pitcher. You've
likely never heard of him.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Why would you.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
He typically pitches in mop up, low pressure situations in
the middle innings when you're either not watching because you're
not watching the game, or you're at the game and
you're eating your nachos and your hot dog and your
peanuts and your pets. And he was in spring training
camp with the Mets and they said, get out of here.
(10:12):
You're rejected. They sold him. They sold him like something
at a flea market to the to the A's from
Port Saint Lucy. All right, final thought, we going down
of Miami down the road from Port Saint Lucy where
the Marlins formerly the Florida Marlins, now that the Miami Marlins.
The Marlins have told star pitcher Sandy al Kantara that
(10:35):
he won't be traded.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Now he's not pitching this year, but they said, you're
not gonna be traded. Should he believe them?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Survey says, yeah, shaking my head, No, that's what the
survey says. The odds, I will say this, the odds
are against a trade anytime soon because al Kantara is
rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Would probably gets the Dodgers front office horney to trade
for him. He also is on a.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Team friendly contract from what we understand. Nevertheless, do not
believe what they tell you. There's been some upheople on
the Marlin front office. They've gotten rid of a bunch
of people, which means they're going.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
To hire new people.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
These are cotton candy words. It's fluffy sugar, It spung
sugar is what it is. Ultimately, the Marlin franchise. If
you look at the business model of the Miami Marlins.
And I was there when they won their first World
Series back in the day, and back then they wanted
the biggest names.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
They spent the most mont Believe it or not, the
Marlins bought a championship. They did. I was that witness it.
But ultimately they want a championship.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Becau Jose Mason couldn't close the same anyway for the
Cleveland Indians. But ultimately the franchise likes prospects who are
suspects over proven big league talent. That's what they prefer.
They would like a suspect over a sure thing. And
it is a clearing house for flipping the established, for
(12:04):
the neophyte, for the whipper snapper. And all it takes
is the Dawyers, the Yankees or the Red Sox, the
usual suspect or a mystery team to go Marlon Brando
from the Godfather and say, you know, I'm gonna make
him an offer the GM of the Bolence that.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
He cannot refuse, and you're on your way.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
He had Tommy John surgery last year and is not
going to pitch at all this year, which means the
Marlins if they traded him, they'd be selling low rather
than waiting for him to pitch well for a couple
months and then trading him. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
If you would like to be part, you can join
(12:48):
us here speak easy. Rules are in effect, but you

Play a household name like Dick and Dayton, hollering James,
so many other mark the full name guy. Who's some
of these guys I'm not gonna name mames, So some
of them are on the spectrum. But that makes it
more fun, makes it even more enjoyable. That does Time
Now for the Mallor Riddle love to day, And here
(13:26):
is the Mallor riddle of the day.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Here it is all right, so a Mallard riddle.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
An Olympic pole vaulter has already made over one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars since winning not a gold or
a silver, a bronze medal because of blank. Now, this
is not the dude who's drunk hit the this is
not it, this is a different person.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
So malar riddle of the day.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
An Olympic pole vaulter has made over one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars since winning not a golder of silver,
a bronze medal because of blank.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
That is the malord read it of today the answer.
We'll get to it and we will do it.
Speaker 3 (14:13):

Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific

Show sit on the sidelines, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Mallor Show. Just follow your host
on x He's at Ben Mallar and you can post
at and follow our technical producer. She plays all the
music in most of the funny sound bites on the
Ben Mallard Show. Her first name is Lorraine Ah and
(15:27):
she's at FSR Tech Queen. The drops are back NL
live from the Tyraq dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Mallar, Chippy.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
The q's writes in, and we'll pay off the Mallard
riddle here in a second chip in the Q says
a plus or the Malon monologue. A relative of mine,
by the way, just turn ninety years old. We got
him a rapid radio as a birthday. If he loves it,
it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oh get it.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
My father in law just turned ninety. Maybe we should
get in one.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
Did he use code Maler, No, there's no code code
radio radio.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
There's gotta be a chip.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Thank you Chip for your support of the advertisers here.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
We thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Rapid Radio is a great sponsor, and if they have
a place on their website there to say where you
heard it, you say our show, that would help. But
Chip's always been a great supporter of our sponsors. He
also I believe Chip told us was it last year?
Two years ago he got tires from tire rack dot
com as well supporting this show. We thank you, Kelly
Donut Kelly in Nashville says, you are correct. He says
(16:36):
on the monologue, this just proves that most of the
world is not overly sensitive. Just the people that seem
to be louder are.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah. I have noticed that.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I've noticed in my travels, and I've done a lot
of these meet and greets with.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Fans of the show, friends of the show whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
There's an online world and then there's the real world.
And maybe who knows, it's a small sample size, but
I do get the sense that people act differently if
their public persona like on social media platforms than they do.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
In the real world.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Say, and for some reason, the big media companies haven't
really figured that out, and advertisers haven't figured that out.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's it's an odd thing.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And at some point I'm hopeful that will happen, that
people will realize, well, people aren't really that sensitive about
certain things, you know, not everyone's worked up into a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
And know there's always you know, the two percent.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Or five per whatever is it gets everything's the debacle,
you know, everything's a huge nuclear.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Story and all that. But for most people that's not.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
How they live their lives. They're just trying to get
through life and they get bills to pay and all that.
They don't get all worked up about all these stories anyway.
Time now for the malor riddle of the day. An
Olympic pole vaulter has made over one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars since winning not a goal, not a silver,
a bronze medal because of blank.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
That is the mallor riddle of the day. And what
is the answer?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Patrick in San Diego says, the dude won the first
medal for his country pole vaulting wallin paired from our
friend Kenneth the sports Lama. By the way, Danny, Miami
Danny's got to change his name. Random ex user doesn't
really work, Miami Danny. It doesn't work Masshole Mickey says,
from selling his toenail clippings.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Wow, that's pretty impressive. That's pretty president. Who else do
we have? JC got it right? He cheated?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Johnny que said the length of his poll was the answer.
JT the Wingman says he earned fifteen thousand dollars for
agreeing to do work for the Ohio Visitors Bureau with
Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, we've got JT. Can you be my boots on
the ground. JT. I know you're not in Ohio, You're
in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
We've got to find some Ohio Visitors Bureau and contact
them to see you do like a meet and greet
next year in Ohio and maybe they'll promote it or
something or pay for some of it, and that would
be that would be pretty good.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Page down Matt the Warrior Raider, Tom Brady Roast, Steph
Curry suck up, he got it right. Bad job by you,
Alf said, because of his prognostication skills, that is the answer.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Sour kraut flavored jello from the King Rory That was
his guess. Who else do we have here?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Mike the Leprechaun kind of got it right, but not
completely not completely far out. Dave said, because he can
roll a joint with his toes is the answer. Ferg
Dog says, because he sold the bronze medal for one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Eddie, Do you have an answer,
Eddie to the mallor riddle of the day?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yes, the Paul Vaulter is now doing cameo just like
Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yes, that's where the money is cameo. No, that is incorrect,
but I am on cameo.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
By the way, if you want a personalized video vignette cameo,
type my name in there.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I'm on there every once in a while.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I do birthdays, bar mitzvah's weddings, funerals, all of you
them anyway. The answer An Olympic pole vaulter made over
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars winning a bronze medal

Speaker 4 (21:42):
A lot of our audience enough flush with cash.
Speaker 10 (21:45):
Think about it, what seven ninety nine a month, you
only get ten even if you just had ten people
who followed, that's eighty dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, and you add that up and then.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
Yeah, and every month that's my phone bill. You know

Let's say hello to the here's a guy we haven't
talked to you in a while from Omaha, The Black Irishman.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Hello, Black Irishman. Where have you been.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Football season?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Oh? You're back? Okay, So you're like a bear. You
were hybrid eating.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
You were hibernating when the football season ended in February.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
And I gotta do the show.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You know, I gotta do the show every night. But
whether there's football or not, I gotta do. I gotta
do the show.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You can't.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
That was your first morning.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Don't do it again. Keep your mouth clean. I know
you're drinking, but keep it clean.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Anyway.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
You still your teeth in ten days?
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Whoa wow, god ship, Oh I got it.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah, it's so good. Eddie.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
He's double fisting whiskey and he calls the show and
he's like.
Speaker 11 (23:12):
Oh word, no more calls for at least test all right,
the Black that's the reason to download the podcast, right
then that'll be in the podcast, right, great moments with callers.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
The Black Irishman. He still owes me a Creighton Blue
jay's hat. You think I'll ever see that Creighton Blue?
No chance, I'll never see it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
And if he.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Had stayed on, he would have told me, oh, yeah,
I'm working on it. Don't worry, I'll get you the
hat and nover he lost to bet he's gonna send
me the crateon hat. Oh, by the way, I want
to mention the hat of the night. This is an
official old school Toledo Munhead's hat with the T and
the mudhead in the middle there. And this was sent
by a listener from Ohio. The odd thing about this
(23:54):
they sent me, I think we all got stuff right,
remember Eddie, didn't you get some stuff out of that too?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah? I wore the T shirt yesterday.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yeah, I have a Mudhens shirt.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And they sent like all this cool stuff from Toledo,
like the stadium, which is like the football stadium. They
but they never I couldn't give them love because they
never said their name. I didn't get like the name
like I appreciate it. But I want to give you
some thanks. And this was years ago, but I wear
I love this hat. It reminds me of I used
(24:27):
to watch the show Itsfore my time Aty.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Of course, you know I'm not that old. But there
was a show called Mash and there.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Was a guy was it clinger that wore a Toledo
Mudhens hat and it's the same hat that I have,
the same type of hat. So I'm like, oh, that's
kind of cool. Old school mud hens. And then when
I used to go feed the ducks at that lake
in the old old house I used to live in,
there were a bunch of mud hens that would come in.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I didn't know they were mud hens. I looked it up.
I was like, these they are these black and white birds.
And I was like, what is that and that it
was a mudhen and I said, Wow, that's kind of cool.
Like I was hanging out with the butt heads. So
that's the heat of the night.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Now, we know the Chicago White Sox are hot garbage
and they may set a record for the worst season
in baseball history. But even when you've got that, this
is rare. It's rare for this to happen, even when
teams suck. The White Sox are going to cut ticket
prices for next season by ten percent. That's nothing, Eddie, Yes,
(25:35):
but it's still something that no one ever does they
They never cut prices on anything. It doesn't matter how
bad they.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
But they they should cut prices by fifty percent.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Well image, that's never what It's never gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
They make their money from TV anyway, That's where they
make their money from.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Stick. It is still shocking because teams don't do this.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
And you know, my my my TV friends.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I was actually talking to them a few weeks ago
that the the White Sox are starting their own cable
channel in Chicago. The Jerry Reinsdorf is starting a cable
channel with Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Know White Sox. I think the Bulls are part of
that also, and maybe even the Blackhawks.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
They're all you know how it is with the UH.
These local cable outlets are kind of going the way
of the Dodo there the Bally Sports and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It's all about streaming now, That's that's what it's about. Hey,
I guess they figure they can make money at it.
That's why otherwise they wouldn't do it. But man, can
we sneak.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
A call in here? Are we do? We have to
go right to the asspend lary?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Are we are we available to jump?
Speaker 9 (26:44):
If we could sneak a call.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
All right, all right, let's say hello to donut Kelly
in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Hello, donut Kelly.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Doughnut does sound good? Right now?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
What kind of doll?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Not a cinem roll because it's not a donut?
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
That's that's your worst take ever? No, what about the.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Apple apple fritter? I like the apple fritters.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I got on.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Behalf of it.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Okay, we do have apple fritters, but when we ring
them in on the pos, that's not even considered in
the donut category. It's different. We have donuts, we have
specialty donuts, and then apple fritters are in a different
ringing category. So I don't think they're a donut either.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Okay, so then I hate donuts. I like apple fritters
and cinnamon rolls. I those cinnamon roll is a donut,
by the way. We we've been through this before, but.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Now it's an apple. An apple fritter is also a donut.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
It's different dough ben, But I mean it's fine, you know, No, No,
now I.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
Would I would say there is an argument that an
apple fritter is a donut, but a cinnamon absolutely is not.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
A GOOPO go with you? On this because the apple
fritter dough is the same as donut dough.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Right there you go, So it's more of.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
A donut than a cinnamon roll. Cinnamon roll is more
of a croissant type pastry, and.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
The doughnut, the apple fitter is prepared the same way
right deep fried, whereas a cinnamon roll.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Is BA cinnamon roll is not deep fried.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
You can't have a deep fall. You can't have a
deep fried cinnamroll. The people that do make those. That's
a different conversation, but actually really really fun air fryer.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
What the heck if you take the like uh canned
cinnamon rolls and put an oreo in between them and
put them in your air fryer, really badass?
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Wow that sounds I'm sorry you said to do?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
What can you repeat that? And talk talks lower.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
You take the you take the canned cinnamon rolls right,
and you flatten them out, and you take like and
then you put oreo in the middle. Double stuff works
best because then it melts better in the air fryer,
and then wrap it around it, put in your air fryer,
and you get an oreo stuff cinnamon roll.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
This is like, this is this is This is food
porn is what this is. What you're doing is food point.
This is amazing. This sounds unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I don.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Okay, but again, the apple fritter just like the sin roll.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I mean a lot of them in my life, and
every time I've gotten them, I've gone to a donut shop.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I bought them at a door.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Doesn't matter. That's not the proper criteria for what a
donut is.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Well, that's this my criteria. That sounds like a you problem,
not a me problem, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I love the apple friter too, but it's so rich.
If I eat a whole walk God, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
You're going You're eating a dessert, Eddie. What do you
what do you expect? And it doesn't doesn't like you
sound like my wife. She can play a smart lady.
I'm sure I do.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I can't. To me, I want the most sugar. I
can get what I meaning?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Show you know I dessert, Ben, I have know Ben.
I have a bone to pick with you, though, because
like I love the stone of discussion. Don't get me wrong,
but last week in one of your like lead ins,
you were like, okay, come on, Seattle, you're close, and
since then, Houston has won eight games in a row,
and we're, you know, crapping the bed.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
So so is your saying it's Ben's fault.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
There's no correlation.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
That's called that's called the curse of that Ben being
that happens.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Ben said, come on, let's go in his lead. Then
Hoons won eight in a row.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Benh Yeah, Well, I'll tell you what happened here.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I have a source not close to the situation that
tells me that the Astros I've been the terrible there
in Houston. He went on Timu and ordered new trash cans,
and that's why the a holes are winning again because
they got they got new trash cans from Timu.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
First of all, yeah, well some things are good, but
yeah it's I saw photos either.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Are those photos real of how they make the stuff
and ship the stuff from Timu like in sweatshops? Oh
they are, Oh okay, that's why it's so cheap.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, all right, I I got to go. Is that
a where I can I go?
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Is it all right?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
All right?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (30:51):
All right.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
There's our friend Donut Kelly, who works at a donut
chop that sells apple fritters and tried to argue that
an apple fritter is not a donut.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
She's clearly an expert.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
But again, if I go to her store, I can
buy an apple for her. And there's donuts in the
name of the.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
Store, so I can buy a cake pop at Starbucks.
But that doesn't mean it's a it's a take store.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
It is, it's a cake store. Yeah, got it, Okay,

Speaker 7 (32:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (32:42):
I mean, like, do you know if you're allowed snore?
Speaker 8 (32:44):
I guess because I'm I don't snore really too often,
and even so it's not uh yeah, So I.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Have been told that I do not snore much.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I think back in the day when I was larger
in charge, there was some snoring, but uh, I don't
think I know that much.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Eddie, what are you here?
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I've been told that on occasion I will snore for
a few minutes and then it goes away. So I
guess when you're maybe when I'm first getting in that
deep sleep, that I can a little bit, but it
doesn't last too long.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Okay, all right, what about you, Lorraina?
Speaker 10 (33:23):
I do not snore unless I am pregnant, fat or sick,
and you are.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Not fat, you are not sick, although you sounded like
you were getting sick, and you're sick, you're pregnant.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So okay, all right, gotcha? All right?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Very good? Cool?
Speaker 8 (33:39):
No, yeah, not really not very loud, so I guess
so probably probably none of us.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Really all right, very good? What's next here? We are
having some fun here.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
It's asked Ben your questions and our answers.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
Donkey Sausage would like to know what activity groups were
you in during high school?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Well, I played football, I briefly played basketball, that was
pretty much it. And then I hung out with my
friends who all plotted to take over the world, and
none of them did.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I played football four years, I played baseball three years,
and I played soccer two years. And then I was
in the marching band as a trombone player.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Very rare you cross over football and marching.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
It is true, although we had a we had a
very prestigious marching band. We had over three Inndred members
and there was like six or seven guys who did
play football and were in the band too, So but
it is rare.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
That is rare.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah, there was a when I was in high school
that the band and the football they hated each other.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
They were like blood ribles. What about you about right?
Speaker 9 (34:39):
I was with a dance studio my whole high school career.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Oh yes, I was a dance Was that through? Was
that through the high school technically?
Speaker 3 (34:46):
No?
Speaker 9 (34:46):
But it was all of my high school mates who
went with me.
Speaker 6 (34:48):
So okay, Kuvulu, I don't really want to answer this question.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
He was in the Young Thespians, No.
Speaker 8 (34:57):
It was.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
It was a poetry club.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
Actually, Players of America.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
He wish.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, poetry.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yeah, we need some poetry who.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Could together read Shakespeare?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
I didn't know you write.
Speaker 8 (35:09):
You write your own poetry and then read it in
front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Roses are red, violence of blue, and I'm a better
poet than you.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I got a great story about the Sager and poetry,
but I don't have time to tell it right now, unfortunately, the.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Great Steve de Sager? What is next here? What do
we have?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
It's asked, Ben. Your questions are answers.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
The King Rory would like to know. Do you attend
family reunions?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I probably would now they haven't had one in a while.
There was one in Phoenix years ago and I didn't go,
and I kind of regretted because a lot of my
family's older and the other's dropping dead and I wish
I had gone, But uh I did. When I was
a kid, we used to go. We had big family reunions.
They got like theme T shirts and it was while
(36:00):
I have great memories of going. We won in Chicago,
one in Phoenix, there were some in La It was
it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
What about you, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
I would totally do it, but there's I don't know.
I've got one cousin who I still communicate with, and
that's it on in my family. I mean, everyone else
is either gone or I just don't know them. So yeah,
if somebody organized something and said, hey, come to this,
I would be like, hell, yeah, let's.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Do it, Loraina.
Speaker 9 (36:28):
I only go to reunions when someone dies, Ben, let's
call it the funeral. Yeah, that's when I see my family.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, generally, and I do go to a lot of funerals.
Speaker 10 (36:39):
But no, Honestly, my ex but his family would do
family reunions and I'd go with him, and I'm like,
this is so weird.
Speaker 9 (36:47):
This is my great aunt Martha.
Speaker 10 (36:49):
She lives over in North Dakota and I've haven't seen
her in five years.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
This is my girlfriend. Let me tell you it was
a nightmare when I was a kid. I go to
these events and you know, all my old from the
old world. Why don't you have a girlfriend? Why are
you fat? You know?
Speaker 10 (37:03):
I was like.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
These old, these old Jewish women. I was like, leave
me alone, you know, I just want to just want
to eat, you know.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
So that would have been something my grandmother would have
would have said.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
My grandmother they had no Yeah, Italian the Jews the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
I mean, they had no shame. I was like, dude,
just leave me alone. I don't uh coop. What are
you any family re union stuff?
Speaker 8 (37:27):
I don't know, not necessarily like a family reunion per se,
but like you know, one side of the family all
gets together for Christmas.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
That's there you go about it.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Okay, very good. We have the malord ugly sweater party
every year, but that's with friends and stuff. Yeah, and
we have we have another man for family.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
What my wife like small parties? What's next? What do
we have to ask?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Ben? Your your questions are answers. I'm all choked up.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
This is a good one from ferg Dog.
Speaker 8 (37:52):
He said, would you rather be stranded on the International
Space Station or in a submarine on the bottom of
the ocean?
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Man, how far are at the very bottom of the ocean?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yeah, that's like the same thing, though, right, you're not
going to make it out if you're in a submarine.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Let's see. So what I guess I'd go submarine.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
But if you you run out of oxygen like that?
What was that thing a couple of years ago that
they could imploded?
Speaker 8 (38:20):
Yeah, the Titanic just just crumble them to itself.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Yeah, but none of the above. But I guess I
would take space because it would be kind of cool
to see around. There's probably a bunch of aliens up
there they don't tell us about, you know, UFO things.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Well, what about you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Well, I would thoroughly hate either. But I would go
space station because, as you said, it would be I
think it would be cooler up in space than down
to the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah. I see everything we know in that little blue marble,
or as Kyrie would say, that little flat piece of thing.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
What about you about right?
Speaker 10 (38:53):
Now both absolutely terrify me. I'm probably gonna go for
the ocean, though. Why Because I feel like there's a
lot of cool creatures I'd be able to find down there,
and I could find something to occupy my mind instead
of just staring at the nothingness of space.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Okay, cool, quickly.
Speaker 6 (39:10):
Space is absolutely the right answer here.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
It's the only answer.
Speaker 9 (39:14):
No, it's not the other.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
No, the rain, the creatures at the bottom. Have you
seen the creatures of the bottom?
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Notion that it's terrible, they're disgusting.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
A better view while you die up in space.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Yes, your body can fall back down to Earth and
burn up when it comes from the Solar System.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
How great would that?
Speaker 6 (39:34):
