Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our birth three hour three Talking
bays Bow Here an hour number three of the podcast.
So Baseball celebrated the life of Willie Mays. They had
a game in Birmingham that was played on Thursday night
and I was watching the game and I enjoyed the broadcast.
(00:20):
But I saw a story as I was watching the
game about analytics. Would analytics have enhanced Willy Mays's career?
Because somebody wrote a column about that and it really
really got my dander up. We'll talk about that. Also.
Derek Jeter recently said that he wants accountability from Hall
of Fame voters that didn't vote for him. What is
(00:41):
your position on that one? And we'll even go to
golf and give me your school of thought on John
Rahm blaming NBC's broadcast for inadvertently sparking the Rory McElroy
choking narrative, blaming the media, we'll go there as well.
All of it and lame jokes. It all happens overnight,
(01:03):
but now it's repackaged here in the podcast. This is
my addition to coach the Clippers or the Rams or
the manage of the Dodgers. Here it is our number.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Three say hey, say what well come in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are
in the air everywhere alongside as we create a monster
and we do.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
The monster mash coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the bast and glaringly powerful microphones of fsre
emmnating live from the store, the All night Sports Take
drug Store. We're broadcasting live the tirach dot Com studios
(01:52):
tyract dot Com. We'll help you get there in unmatched selection,
bast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers. It's almost as many glasses of you
know what. The Bourbon Badger has had tirerac dot Com
The Way Tire Buying Show to be dateline Birmingham, Alabama
(02:18):
on Fox. They had a made for TV spectacle the
Giants and the Cardinals playing in Birmingham as they celebrated
what they didn't realize this at the time. They were
going to celebrate him anyway, but he died this week,
Willie Mays, and so it was talking about the Negro
leagues and a lot of celebratory things, eulogies for Willy
(02:39):
Mays who left our mortal coil at age ninety three.
This week a life well lived baseball honoring him. I
watched some of this game. They even in the fifth
inning they flashed back to like a black and white broadcast.
They've done that before, years ago. It's been a long time,
it's been a minute, but I remember the Dodgers were
(02:59):
playing at Wrigley Field and they did something similar in
a broadcast. But so the game was well presented, universally
been applauded the way they did the game on Fox,
and the Giants and Cardinals played. The final score didn't
really matter because it's the regular season game, but it
got me down a rabbit hole. There's made a lot
(03:19):
of tributes and really nice things said about Willie Mayce
from all corners of the baseball world and beyond. But
one of the things that I came across bedeviled me.
And I don't know if you saw this or not.
Maybe not, and you probably don't know what I'm talking
about unless you're a stalker, But there was a column
written on the four Letter that I came across on
(03:41):
my radar that chronicles how the whole premise of the
article is that modern analytics would have added to Willie
May's legacy that modern analytics would have added to his legacy. Okay,
so the nerds going back and trying to crunch the
analytics of Willy Mays's career and trying to hijack or
(04:08):
piggyback on the passing of William May. So let us
discuss the question would analytics have enhanced the career of
Willy Mays. So I've got Locus, Sir, Mix a lot,
and Tabernacle, and we'll combine all of these things together
and we are going to make a podcast. Like JJ
(04:33):
Reddick who got hired as the coach of the Lakers.
He's a podcaster, all right. So first of all, to
answer this particular question, would analytics have enhanced Willie Mays's career?
How about N plus O N plus oh. We don't
need stats to tell us what's good. We don't need
stats to tell us what's bad. And if you're someone
(04:54):
that does need stats to tell you what's good and bad,
I would advise seeking some help. The infestation, that's right,
that's the word. Infestation of nerds in sports has gone
completely unchecked for years. In fact, it has been embraced
by big sport. It has. And here's another example how
(05:19):
everything in moderation. I'm not against stats, and I'm not
even against analytics, but having it shoved down my throat
by every two bit nerd enough, right, their locusts they
destroy everything. They're destroying the enjoyment of the game. Modern
analytics would not have added a damn thing to Willie Mays' legacy.
(05:44):
In fact, it would have likely damaged it, because in
one way or another he didn't match up right. Part
of the magic of the old school players in all sports,
not just baseball but anywhere. Maybe you're not a baseball thing.
You like football, right, You think about some of the
legends of the game, him Brown back in the day
as an example, amazing talent, great numbers and all that,
(06:06):
and people told amazing stories. But there were no modern
analytics about him, And there's no modern analytics about Willy
Mays or Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron or Sandy Kofax
or any of those guys. All the legends of by
gone eras in sport, and they're unsullied from Poindexter. The
(06:27):
locusts can't eat them, even though they're now trying like
zero statistical manipulation of the mind. Nobody was worried about
Willie May's exit velocity. Maybe he didn't hit the ball
hard enough and they would have had to get rid
of him, the giants. But who cares what his launch
angle was at Candlestick. Nobody gave a rats ass about
(06:49):
Willie Mason his launch angle. And I'm okay with that.
How many barrels did he have? No back in those days?
It was how many barrels of beer did you have?
Right back in those days? So just stop, just stop
with the nonsense. And it's like that famous line from
long ago Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart. I believe it
(07:10):
was the guy's name, and he was revealing a case
about hardcore pornography, all right, hardcore pornography, And he gave
the quote which applies to analytics, and how it would
be tied together with this. I know it when I
see it, right, And so I don't need sabermetrics to
tell me whether a player is good or whether it's
(07:31):
a player's bad. All right, sabermetrics be damned. And so
that is my position on these people trying to again piggyback,
boguard whatever you want to say, steal the moment, make
it all about them. It's ridiculous. It's all right now.
Secondly to Monument Park, we go in the Bronx el
Capitan Derek Jeter the captain. Now, he said he wants
(07:56):
accountability from Hall of Fame voters who snubbed him. There
weren't many, right, there weren't many, but there were some
that decided not to give the endorsement to Derek Cheeter. Okay,
so he wants accountability now. He also said he holds
no grudge. He had said that as well. The actual
(08:20):
quote he gave is, I don't care that someone didn't
vote for me. I really don't. Cheeter insisted, quote continues,
but I do think what becomes annoying is I have
to constantly answer the questions, and I don't think I
should be the one answering the question. So there you go.
(08:41):
Derek Jeter again recently said he wants accountability from Hall
of Fame voters. What is your position on this one?
So again he's like, I don't really hold a grudge,
and you know, I don't care if someone didn't vote
for me. But he is talking I just used the word,
but he's talking out of both sides of his mouth, right,
(09:03):
And to this, we turned to Sir mix a lot
a classic. I like big butts and as a talk
showst I like big Bucks because for references they're wonderful.
I just point this out to illustrate this. Derek Jeter
used the word butt. He said, I don't care that
someone didn't vote for me. I really don't, but right,
and that is what's known as a dead give way.
(09:24):
That is a dead giveaway. It's a dead giveaway that
everything a person says before the word butt is a lie.
That is the way it is. And so everything he
said before that or it says, I don't really care
the people didn't vote for me. Lie Lie Lie Lie
Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie
lie line. All right, so that's my take on that. Now,
final thought, we go to golf why because there's a
(09:48):
bit of a drama orama and I love a good
drama orama. It's always in fashion, it never goes out
of style. And so I go back to the major
meltdown heard round the world. We talk a little bit
about it. We didn't get too deep into the weeds
on that, but John Ram he had some thoughts on
what happened there fellow professional golfer John Ram, and he
(10:10):
decided to lay blame on and BC. He was upset
with NBC's coverage of the US Open, the famous collapse
by Rory McElroy, who had a conniption fit and left
like a coward. Before talking to the media, John Rom said, quote,
one of the things that absolutely burned me was NBC
(10:32):
severely underplayed how difficult Rory's putt on eighteen was. Close quote,
So give me your school of thought on John Rom
blaming the peacock analyst for inadvertently sparking the Rory McElroy
choking narrative? What is your school of thought on that?
(10:54):
So I'll go first on this one. I'll go first,
John Ram in the cartoon bubble atop of my head,
there's a cartoon bubble and John Ram has a machete
and he's trying to lead his friend out of the jungle.
He's also stopping by and visiting the tabernacle. He's praying
(11:14):
at the Church of Victimhoods. Like somehow Roy McElroy is
the victim. Blame the media, shoot the messenger and what
he's doing. The technique is known as gaslighting. John ram
is deliberately and systematically feeding you false information about that
broadcast that leads you to question whether or not you
(11:38):
actually watched the broadcast properly, and what you watched is true.
Roy McElroy bogeyed three of the final four holes. He
had made what was the number, like one hundred and
ninety six, It might have even more than that, putts
of three yards or less. He missed not one but
two of those over the fire four holes of the tournament,
(12:02):
and in the process he lost the tournament by one
stroke to Bryson d. Chambeau. And under any measurement, any measurement,
that is el choco is what it is. That is
a pratfall every day, and appropriately enough twice on Sunday,
which is when it happened. Any way that you slice it,
(12:25):
any way that you slice it, it is the Ben
Mallor Show. If you would like to be part of this,
you can join us here speak easy rules are in effect,
but there are some lines open. We'll get through some
more phone calls here coming up. Mam Mattelli. Also on

the malor riddle of day. Tell me you're not excited
for the malor of the day, because if you say that,
you're lying. Everyone loves the mallor riddle of the day. Yeah,
everyone does. In fact, this is loosely related to what
(13:11):
we were just talking about. Bryson d. Chambeau's coach revealed
that Blank helped him win the trophy this week again.
Professional golfer Bryson D. Chambeau, his coach, revealed that Blank
helped him take home the trophy this week. One hundred
(13:34):

Chambeau's coach revealed that Blank one thousand percent helped the
golfer take home the trophy this week. That is the
mallor riddle of the day. What is the answer? Does

their life to send a message in on the live
(15:40):
feed of the show, And let's see, let's see, We'll
go to the the great unwashed for the many, many answers,
and there are many. A ferg dog says the Irish
potato head choking is a ferg dog. A rat under
the hat from Asher Jay Dots. Still not in jail
(16:01):
in Utah says Tiger Woods golf DVD called my favorite
eighteen holes.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Some kind of colon cleanser from Stevie Meatballs in Florida.
His collection of Just Dance video games from the Late
Night Drug Tester. That's his answer, Malaprop Guy says his
eye opening Caddie blind Scott is the answer. Alf says,
(16:29):
I know it when I see it, and I know
it when I hear it. In your monologue, the answer
is pornography, Okay, King Roy says, by parking like he
owns the place is the correctness. That's called the gagon parking.
The gascon parking is what that's called. Who else do
we have? Page down? Can't read that on the air.
(16:53):
He started hitting the weed the weed there, the weed
pen on the back nine from Black Steve the second
in North Carolina, not near Tobacco Road. Not near Tobacco Road.
Who else do we have? The Slumpbuster guests by Ike
in Roseville, Minnesota. He got inspiration from Shooter McGavin from
Milkman Mike in Colorado. Who else do we have? Paige
(17:17):
dwn We'll skip over that watching Happy Gilmour on a
loop from the clam his Lucky underwear from Dante. That's
the answer. Stuck in Sacramento says Rocky Mountain Oysters helped
him win the ones Lizzo likes Kelly Donut. Kelly says
(17:39):
the answer to the riddle of today is watching videos
of all of Rory's choke jobs. Mark in Santa Monica
says he was helped by a squirrel in tidy Whities
helped him via the right says women's underwear wearing women's
underwear helped them out. That's very very kind.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
All.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I think that's enough. Uncle, Howdy mad Jack. Interesting answer there, Eddie,
Do you have an answer again? The Mallard Riddle of
the day for those of you that are late to
the party. Bryson D. Chambeau, his coach, this week, revealed
that blank one thousand percent helped the golfer take home
the trophy. And what is it, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
It was the fact that he put his shopping cart
back with all the other shopping cards like every good
hearted person.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Well, no, that's not again, that's that's a raw and.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
It was karma and that's why he won.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Raw Again. I have a professional, someone who's knowledgeable, who
works in the grocery industry and has spent his entire life, Eddie,
he's going to be at the Malar meet and greed, Eddie.
That's not very kind. He's going to poison your Tierra
Masoux at the Malar Meeting greet. It's a bad job
by you anyway. The answer to the Mallar Riddle of today,
(18:50):
Bryson D. Schambeau's coach, revealed that three D printed curved
golf clubs one hundred thousand percent helped him win the
trophy because it had nothing to do with Roy McElroy
urinating down his leg at all. It was all about
(19:13):
the three D printed golf clubs because no one ever
won golf tournaments major tournaments without three D golf clubs
did not happen, did not happen at all. And that
was not like some kind of commercial to sell sell
those things. Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
(19:33):

Speaker 5 (26:28):
By the way, I mentioned is an answer to one
of your little questions. There had Avon Calderon, former Big
league baseball player, and you would mention that he had died,
and I didn't didn't remember that, and then I went
and looked and he died horrifically. He was shot in
the back of the head at a bar. Yeah, and
no one was ever arrested.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
In the Dominican right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember doing
the story on the air about him dying. Yeah, he
died at a young age man who was the guy
in the reds that died from a satellite falling on
Oh was it Bo Diaz? That sounds about right, yeah,
yeah Diaz.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
I don't know what. I don't know how that connected
to a murder, but that, yes, people dying. That was
an Ald timer. I mean because and people who are
younger may wonder how could he die from that? Well,
back in the old days, satellite slight dishes were the
size of a car.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Oh yeah, the size of the moon. And massive, I
mean it was yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah. He was up there trying to like align it
and it fell on him and squished him.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
What a way to go? Oh my god, man alive.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
It's like if only he had direct TV.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Didn't exist at the time.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Earlier, Ben demanded a fun, wacky sports story. Did you see?
Five time Olympic medalist Lily King was taking part in
the US Olympic swimming trials at Lucas Oil Stadium. I
didn't know how Hold on, I'm getting to the fun part,
all right. So she had finished second in the two
hundred meters and as she was getting out of the pool,
(28:09):
soaking wet out popped. Her boyfriend James Wells, got down
on the knee and proposed to her at the side
of the pool. She said yes, and uh, what a fun,
wacky sports story that was pool side engagement. Who doesn't
love that, Eddie? Funs wacky, It's cute, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
We're doing sports talk for menity.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
You talked about a vase earlier. You did a story
about a vase.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Because that's relatable our listeners. That's not sports.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I just get sports.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I'm relating to the listeners. Our listeners shop at thrift stores.
How many times have they called that said I was
at a thrift store buying stuff.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
I bet they go swimming more than they shop at
thrift stores.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I don't think so. A lot of them. Well, no,
a lot of these guys. I don't think they shower
and I don't think they swim. So you think, weed man,
when's the last time, weed man?
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I don't want to think about that.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I really well, he was in jail. He could have
taken a shower.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
And they make you do they make your bathe when
you go to jail.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
We can ask him in a minute. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm going to say I must say no.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You want to stain from showering, that's a you know
what if you don't want to eat, you say I'm
not eating.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
I would say you don't have to eat if you
don't want to eat.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
All right, well let's have some real fun, Eddie. Here
we go.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Have you ever been to Hong Kong, Eddie, ever been
there Hong Kong?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
No?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
But when I was a kid, I did watch a
cartoon called Hong Kong Fui.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Has that been canceled?
Speaker 5 (29:39):
I'm sure it has.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So they have a little problem over
there in Hong Kong. We have a lot of problems
in Hong Kong right now with the good folks over
in China. But the people of Hong Kong have the
leadership there has told residents that they need to they
need to do this more if they want to increase tourism.
You see what they need to do more if they
want to increase tourism in Hong Kong. This is according
(30:01):
to the leaders in Hong Kong.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
H No, what do they need to do?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
They need to smile more, is what they they told
their residence there in Hong Kong. That the reason people
aren't going to Hong Kong is because you're not smiling enough.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Well, don't people have to be there to know that
they're smiling in the first place.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
It seemed to make some sense the.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Just smiling, I mean, how people know if they're not there.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
But this is not true because people in France don't
smile and their schmucks and people still go to France.
How would you know you've never been because I've seen
videos of them on the and that's.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Just random videos of French people. I watched these.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I watched these travel vlogs on YouTube on the on
the weekends sometimes and they'll go to France and they'll
be walking around and and they're like, oh, this is
wonderful and beautiful, and no one's smiling.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
You don't smile very much. You don't make things brighter
around here very often.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I'm smiling right now.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I don't think I don't think you are.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
You got a big smile that cheshire cat smile from
from year to year. So anyway, that was my fun story.
The residents of Hong Kong told that they need to
smile more and that'll increase tourism. It is the Ben

Where everybody showers together.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Bo.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah, and then the movies.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Yeah that's what I thought, honestly.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, the movies have liked us, and you would know
you've been in jail and there's plenty of food.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
There's plenty of food.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Really, this is not that.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Why did you want to go to jail more often?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah? You shouldn't want to be in jail, all right,
jail is.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
We're told jail is is different than prison though, so
maybe yeah, maybe the movies it's present.
Speaker 7 (33:55):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely a big difference.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Was just jails in his life away and the very.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Different okay, yeah, and prison though they let you have
phones now in some prisons. So anyway, we've had guys
call us from prison. They've called it anyway, maybe they

Speaker 1 (40:01):
That would be his two mini drill? That's he Jamy Jty,
big bass Light Jokes of the Week, Hey sweet,
Hello and welcome. It's our birth three hour three Talking
bays Bow Here an hour number three of the podcast.
So Baseball celebrated the life of Willie Mays. They had
a game in Birmingham that was played on Thursday night
and I was watching the game and I enjoyed the broadcast.
(00:20):
But I saw a story as I was watching the
game about analytics. Would analytics have enhanced Willy Mays's career?
Because somebody wrote a column about that and it really
really got my dander up. We'll talk about that. Also.
Derek Jeter recently said that he wants accountability from Hall
of Fame voters that didn't vote for him. What is
(00:41):
your position on that one? And we'll even go to
golf and give me your school of thought on John
Rahm blaming NBC's broadcast for inadvertently sparking the Rory McElroy
choking narrative, blaming the media, we'll go there as well.
All of it and lame jokes. It all happens overnight,
(01:03):
but now it's repackaged here in the podcast. This is
my addition to coach the Clippers or the Rams or
the manage of the Dodgers. Here it is our number.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Three say hey, say what well come in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are
in the air everywhere alongside as we create a monster
and we do.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
The monster mash coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the bast and glaringly powerful microphones of fsre
emmnating live from the store, the All night Sports Take
drug Store. We're broadcasting live the tirach dot Com studios
(01:52):
tyract dot Com. We'll help you get there in unmatched selection,
bast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers. It's almost as many glasses of you
know what. The Bourbon Badger has had tirerac dot Com
The Way Tire Buying Show to be dateline Birmingham, Alabama
(02:18):
on Fox. They had a made for TV spectacle the
Giants and the Cardinals playing in Birmingham as they celebrated
what they didn't realize this at the time. They were
going to celebrate him anyway, but he died this week,
Willie Mays, and so it was talking about the Negro
leagues and a lot of celebratory things, eulogies for Willy
(02:39):
Mays who left our mortal coil at age ninety three.
This week a life well lived baseball honoring him. I
watched some of this game. They even in the fifth
inning they flashed back to like a black and white broadcast.
They've done that before, years ago. It's been a long time,
it's been a minute, but I remember the Dodgers were
(02:59):
playing at Wrigley Field and they did something similar in
a broadcast. But so the game was well presented, universally
been applauded the way they did the game on Fox,
and the Giants and Cardinals played. The final score didn't
really matter because it's the regular season game, but it
got me down a rabbit hole. There's made a lot
(03:19):
of tributes and really nice things said about Willie Mayce
from all corners of the baseball world and beyond. But
one of the things that I came across bedeviled me.
And I don't know if you saw this or not.
Maybe not, and you probably don't know what I'm talking
about unless you're a stalker, But there was a column
written on the four Letter that I came across on
(03:41):
my radar that chronicles how the whole premise of the
article is that modern analytics would have added to Willie
May's legacy that modern analytics would have added to his legacy. Okay,
so the nerds going back and trying to crunch the
analytics of Willy Mays's career and trying to hijack or
(04:08):
piggyback on the passing of William May. So let us
discuss the question would analytics have enhanced the career of
Willy Mays. So I've got Locus, Sir, Mix a lot,
and Tabernacle, and we'll combine all of these things together
and we are going to make a podcast. Like JJ
(04:33):
Reddick who got hired as the coach of the Lakers.
He's a podcaster, all right. So first of all, to
answer this particular question, would analytics have enhanced Willie Mays's career?
How about N plus O N plus oh. We don't
need stats to tell us what's good. We don't need
stats to tell us what's bad. And if you're someone
(04:54):
that does need stats to tell you what's good and bad,
I would advise seeking some help. The infestation, that's right,
that's the word. Infestation of nerds in sports has gone
completely unchecked for years. In fact, it has been embraced
by big sport. It has. And here's another example how
(05:19):
everything in moderation. I'm not against stats, and I'm not
even against analytics, but having it shoved down my throat
by every two bit nerd enough, right, their locusts they
destroy everything. They're destroying the enjoyment of the game. Modern
analytics would not have added a damn thing to Willie Mays' legacy.
(05:44):
In fact, it would have likely damaged it, because in
one way or another he didn't match up right. Part
of the magic of the old school players in all sports,
not just baseball but anywhere. Maybe you're not a baseball thing.
You like football, right, You think about some of the
legends of the game, him Brown back in the day
as an example, amazing talent, great numbers and all that,
(06:06):
and people told amazing stories. But there were no modern
analytics about him, And there's no modern analytics about Willy
Mays or Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron or Sandy Kofax
or any of those guys. All the legends of by
gone eras in sport, and they're unsullied from Poindexter. The
(06:27):
locusts can't eat them, even though they're now trying like
zero statistical manipulation of the mind. Nobody was worried about
Willie May's exit velocity. Maybe he didn't hit the ball
hard enough and they would have had to get rid
of him, the giants. But who cares what his launch
angle was at Candlestick. Nobody gave a rats ass about
(06:49):
Willie Mason his launch angle. And I'm okay with that.
How many barrels did he have? No back in those days?
It was how many barrels of beer did you have?
Right back in those days? So just stop, just stop
with the nonsense. And it's like that famous line from
long ago Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart. I believe it
(07:10):
was the guy's name, and he was revealing a case
about hardcore pornography, all right, hardcore pornography, And he gave
the quote which applies to analytics, and how it would
be tied together with this. I know it when I
see it, right, And so I don't need sabermetrics to
tell me whether a player is good or whether it's
(07:31):
a player's bad. All right, sabermetrics be damned. And so
that is my position on these people trying to again piggyback,
boguard whatever you want to say, steal the moment, make
it all about them. It's ridiculous. It's all right now.
Secondly to Monument Park, we go in the Bronx el
Capitan Derek Jeter the captain. Now, he said he wants
(07:56):
accountability from Hall of Fame voters who snubbed him. There
weren't many, right, there weren't many, but there were some
that decided not to give the endorsement to Derek Cheeter. Okay,
so he wants accountability now. He also said he holds
no grudge. He had said that as well. The actual
(08:20):
quote he gave is, I don't care that someone didn't
vote for me. I really don't. Cheeter insisted, quote continues,
but I do think what becomes annoying is I have
to constantly answer the questions, and I don't think I
should be the one answering the question. So there you go.
(08:41):
Derek Jeter again recently said he wants accountability from Hall
of Fame voters. What is your position on this one?
So again he's like, I don't really hold a grudge,
and you know, I don't care if someone didn't vote
for me. But he is talking I just used the word,
but he's talking out of both sides of his mouth, right,
(09:03):
And to this, we turned to Sir mix a lot
a classic. I like big butts and as a talk
showst I like big Bucks because for references they're wonderful.
I just point this out to illustrate this. Derek Jeter
used the word butt. He said, I don't care that
someone didn't vote for me. I really don't, but right,
and that is what's known as a dead give way.
(09:24):
That is a dead giveaway. It's a dead giveaway that
everything a person says before the word butt is a lie.
That is the way it is. And so everything he
said before that or it says, I don't really care
the people didn't vote for me. Lie Lie Lie Lie
Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie
lie line. All right, so that's my take on that. Now,
final thought, we go to golf why because there's a
(09:48):
bit of a drama orama and I love a good
drama orama. It's always in fashion, it never goes out
of style. And so I go back to the major
meltdown heard round the world. We talk a little bit
about it. We didn't get too deep into the weeds
on that, but John Ram he had some thoughts on
what happened there fellow professional golfer John Ram, and he
(10:10):
decided to lay blame on and BC. He was upset
with NBC's coverage of the US Open, the famous collapse
by Rory McElroy, who had a conniption fit and left
like a coward. Before talking to the media, John Rom said, quote,
one of the things that absolutely burned me was NBC
(10:32):
severely underplayed how difficult Rory's putt on eighteen was. Close quote,
So give me your school of thought on John Rom
blaming the peacock analyst for inadvertently sparking the Rory McElroy
choking narrative? What is your school of thought on that?
(10:54):
So I'll go first on this one. I'll go first,
John Ram in the cartoon bubble atop of my head,
there's a cartoon bubble and John Ram has a machete
and he's trying to lead his friend out of the jungle.
He's also stopping by and visiting the tabernacle. He's praying
(11:14):
at the Church of Victimhoods. Like somehow Roy McElroy is
the victim. Blame the media, shoot the messenger and what
he's doing. The technique is known as gaslighting. John ram
is deliberately and systematically feeding you false information about that
broadcast that leads you to question whether or not you
(11:38):
actually watched the broadcast properly, and what you watched is true.
Roy McElroy bogeyed three of the final four holes. He
had made what was the number, like one hundred and
ninety six, It might have even more than that, putts
of three yards or less. He missed not one but
two of those over the fire four holes of the tournament,
(12:02):
and in the process he lost the tournament by one
stroke to Bryson d. Chambeau. And under any measurement, any measurement,
that is el choco is what it is. That is
a pratfall every day, and appropriately enough twice on Sunday,
which is when it happened. Any way that you slice it,
(12:25):
any way that you slice it, it is the Ben
Mallor Show. If you would like to be part of this,
you can join us here speak easy rules are in effect,
but there are some lines open. We'll get through some
more phone calls here coming up. Mam Mattelli. Also on

(12:49):
in these parts, busy, busy day, but we still have
time for the mallor riddle of the day. That's right,
the malor riddle of day. Tell me you're not excited
for the malor of the day, because if you say that,
you're lying. Everyone loves the mallor riddle of the day. Yeah,
everyone does. In fact, this is loosely related to what
(13:11):
we were just talking about. Bryson d. Chambeau's coach revealed
that Blank helped him win the trophy this week again.
Professional golfer Bryson D. Chambeau, his coach, revealed that Blank
helped him take home the trophy this week. One hundred
(13:34):
thousand percent is how he described it. That is the
malor riddle of the day. The answer. We'll get to

mallor riddle of the day. What is the answer? Does

Do you have an answer again? The Mallard Riddle of
the day for those of you that are late to
the party. Bryson D. Chambeau, his coach, this week, revealed
that blank one thousand percent helped the golfer take home
the trophy. And what is it, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
It was the fact that he put his shopping cart
back with all the other shopping cards like every good
hearted person.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Well, no, that's not again, that's that's a raw and.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
It was karma and that's why he won.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Raw Again. I have a professional, someone who's knowledgeable, who
works in the grocery industry and has spent his entire life, Eddie,
he's going to be at the Malar meet and greed, Eddie.
That's not very kind. He's going to poison your Tierra
Masoux at the Malar Meeting greet. It's a bad job
by you anyway. The answer to the Mallar Riddle of today,
(18:50):
Bryson D. Schambeau's coach, revealed that three D printed curved
golf clubs one hundred thousand percent helped him win the
trophy because it had nothing to do with Roy McElroy
urinating down his leg at all. It was all about
(19:13):
the three D printed golf clubs because no one ever
won golf tournaments major tournaments without three D golf clubs
did not happen, did not happen at all. And that
was not like some kind of commercial to sell sell
those things. Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello

Speaker 5 (26:28):
By the way, I mentioned is an answer to one
of your little questions. There had Avon Calderon, former Big
league baseball player, and you would mention that he had died,
and I didn't didn't remember that, and then I went
and looked and he died horrifically. He was shot in
the back of the head at a bar. Yeah, and
no one was ever arrested.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
In the Dominican right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember doing
the story on the air about him dying. Yeah, he
died at a young age man who was the guy
in the reds that died from a satellite falling on
Oh was it Bo Diaz? That sounds about right, yeah,
yeah Diaz.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
I don't know what. I don't know how that connected
to a murder, but that, yes, people dying. That was
an Ald timer. I mean because and people who are
younger may wonder how could he die from that? Well,
back in the old days, satellite slight dishes were the
size of a car.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Oh yeah, the size of the moon. And massive, I
mean it was yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah. He was up there trying to like align it
and it fell on him and squished him.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
What a way to go? Oh my god, man alive.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
It's like if only he had direct TV.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Didn't exist at the time.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Earlier, Ben demanded a fun, wacky sports story. Did you see?
Five time Olympic medalist Lily King was taking part in
the US Olympic swimming trials at Lucas Oil Stadium. I
didn't know how Hold on, I'm getting to the fun part,
all right. So she had finished second in the two
hundred meters and as she was getting out of the pool,
(28:09):
soaking wet out popped. Her boyfriend James Wells, got down
on the knee and proposed to her at the side
of the pool. She said yes, and uh, what a fun,
wacky sports story that was pool side engagement. Who doesn't
love that, Eddie? Funs wacky, It's cute, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
We're doing sports talk for menity.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
You talked about a vase earlier. You did a story
about a vase.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Because that's relatable our listeners. That's not sports.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I just get sports.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I'm relating to the listeners. Our listeners shop at thrift stores.
How many times have they called that said I was
at a thrift store buying stuff.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
I bet they go swimming more than they shop at
thrift stores.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I don't think so. A lot of them. Well, no,
a lot of these guys. I don't think they shower
and I don't think they swim. So you think, weed man,
when's the last time, weed man?
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I don't want to think about that.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I really well, he was in jail. He could have
taken a shower.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
And they make you do they make your bathe when
you go to jail.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
We can ask him in a minute. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm going to say I must say no.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You want to stain from showering, that's a you know
what if you don't want to eat, you say I'm
not eating.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
I would say you don't have to eat if you
don't want to eat.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
All right, well let's have some real fun, Eddie. Here
we go.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Have you ever been to Hong Kong, Eddie, ever been
there Hong Kong?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
No?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
But when I was a kid, I did watch a
cartoon called Hong Kong Fui.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Has that been canceled?
Speaker 5 (29:39):
I'm sure it has.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So they have a little problem over
there in Hong Kong. We have a lot of problems
in Hong Kong right now with the good folks over
in China. But the people of Hong Kong have the
leadership there has told residents that they need to they
need to do this more if they want to increase tourism.
You see what they need to do more if they
want to increase tourism in Hong Kong. This is according
(30:01):
to the leaders in Hong Kong.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
H No, what do they need to do?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
They need to smile more, is what they they told
their residence there in Hong Kong. That the reason people
aren't going to Hong Kong is because you're not smiling enough.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Well, don't people have to be there to know that
they're smiling in the first place.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
It seemed to make some sense the.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Just smiling, I mean, how people know if they're not there.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
But this is not true because people in France don't
smile and their schmucks and people still go to France.
How would you know you've never been because I've seen
videos of them on the and that's.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Just random videos of French people. I watched these.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I watched these travel vlogs on YouTube on the on
the weekends sometimes and they'll go to France and they'll
be walking around and and they're like, oh, this is
wonderful and beautiful, and no one's smiling.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
You don't smile very much. You don't make things brighter
around here very often.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I'm smiling right now.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I don't think I don't think you are.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
You got a big smile that cheshire cat smile from
from year to year. So anyway, that was my fun story.
The residents of Hong Kong told that they need to
smile more and that'll increase tourism. It is the Ben
