Speaker 1 (00:00):
How do you do? It's our number three, our number three,
and we go to the Mallards scorebook. Here in our
number three, the Malar scorebook, what does it read for
the Mets trading for Brewers as Freddie Peralta the late
Wednesday night trade. We react to it here on the
(00:21):
Ben mal Show and our three. Also Cody Bellinger staying
put with the New York Yankees. Is this a red
light or a green light situation? And Charles Barkley in
the NBA complaining he's only worked four days so far
during the NBA season. Charles Barkley only working four days
during the NBA season is blank? We will discuss that.
(00:45):
What's the word for that? And much more right now
here it is our number three on a shopping spree
for the ages. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air
a re waere allies, as we are on the discussion
(01:12):
aisle coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
the mast and bodaciously powerful microphones of fs are eminating
live from the deec as we get our opponent out
of position from the world famous Fox Sports radio studios
(01:33):
and Donkey Sausage reminds us that this hour is made
possible by our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers such as the legendary

the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
(01:55):
ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rac dot
com the way tire buying should be, and Shane and
Melbourne reminds us that we need to talk about dude wipes.
Have you ever wiped with a piece of that dry
toilet papy that one plied dry to Oh my god,
(02:16):
the worst. It is horrific. It's like being sent to
Guantanamo Bay or something like that. Well, good news, good news,
there are things better than that. Switch to life changing

a at major retailers nationwide. Dude Wipes Best Clean Pants
Down and Clash Cashless Clay, the long suffering Sands fan.
Cashless Clay reminds me that it's all about DraftKings. This
show is sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting
part of the NFL, and and B right now use
(03:01):
the promo code Mallard to claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again,
that's promo code Mallard. At DraftKings. The crown is yours
and we are back at it here talking bays ball. Yeah, baseball,
Why are you talking baseball? I won't want to talk
about football. Shut up, all right, So we'll go to
(03:23):
Queens and the shopping spree continues, as what happens when
a hedge fun guy doesn't get the player that he wants,
he starts getting a bunch of other players. The wheeling
and dealing continues in Gotham. If you haven't heard the latest,
maybe not another late night move. We thank the Metropolitans
for making these moves just before we come on the radio,
(03:43):
so we have things fresh to talk about. The New
York Mets have made a move for a number one
starting pitcher, the ace in the hole, The ace in
the hole. The Mets have acquired pitcher Freddie Peralta from Milwaukee,
and that move coming down not that long before we
(04:03):
came on the radio. In a trade that sent not one,
but two suspects. A prospect is a suspect until proven
otherwise to the Milwaukee Brewers. So Freddie Peralta, leaving Wisconsin
and heading to New York, the Mets also picked up
a right handed picture to Bias Myers in that particular trade. Now,
(04:25):
in theory, Freddie Peralta gives the Mets a frontline starter.
Their rotation was put together with scotch tape, and there
was some Elmer's glue, and there was a pocket knife,
and they put it all together. The rotation crumbled in
the second half as the Mets were abject failures. So
(04:46):
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question for the class. What is the mallor score book?
What does it read the mallor scorebook? What does it
read for the Mets, trade for the Brewers? As Freddie Alta,
so on the scoreboard, I've got blue Chip, Hubris and Sasquatch,
(05:08):
and we will combide all of these things together and
we are going to have a dirty water dog. A
dirty water dog is what we're gonna have.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
First of all, we've got the Mets on the scorebook
at an aus. This is strong it's not a yolo trade.
It's not a you only live one situation. The Mets
just added what I believe is a legitimate blue chip arm.
(05:38):
You look at all the measurables, prime age. He's in
this athletic prime. He's got the strikeout juice that you need.
He's been somewhat consistent in recent years when it comes
to innings and all that stuff. So think of it
like Wall Street. This is a growth stock that should
pay immediate dividends for the Mets, as he will be
(05:59):
the open day starter. Barring an injury, he'll be at
the very top there. Now for the Brewers on the
malar scorecard, for our friends in Milwaukee, I have in Wisconsin,
I have stinky cheese, is what I wrote down here.
For the Brewers, my chicken scratch grade was a C minus.
He can't give any more than a C minus. And
here's why. The brew crew they are lumberjacks in Milwaukee,
(06:23):
which means they grow them up. The trees that grow
them up, they flip them and they ring up the
register and all that. So you het the buttons on
the register and right before free agency. So paralta the
reason the trade happened is Paralta's got an expiring contract
is eight million dollars, which is not much in modern baseball.
So the Brewers are like, well, this guy's gonna leave
(06:45):
and we're not going to keep him. So they sold
him to the Mets for some Keno cards before the bell.
It is sensible, it is uninspiring. It doesn't get you
all excited. I can't get all excited now. There is
this risk for the Mets. I gave the Mets an
a on the scorecard, a minus on the scorecard scorecard.
(07:06):
The reason I gave them an a minus is there
is a good chance of regression. Extreme outcomes are followed
by more moderate ones. And last year was a rocket
launch for Freddie Peralta. Everything came together the low batting
average with balls in play, which is one of the
numbers the nerds look at usually year to year. If
(07:27):
you have an extreme year where you get pretty lucky
the balls in play, you don't get a lot of
hits given up. That thing levels off the following year,
and so that is a bit of a red flag. Also,
gravity undefeated and all that. Projections say that his era
is going to go up a decent amount playing for
the Mets. And you've also got the Komodo dragon in
the room. Now, what is the Komodo dragon sticking its
(07:50):
tongue out in the room taking a bite out of
the big apple. Now, there are players that thrive playing
in New York, and that's great for them, but there's
more players that take a bite into that apple. And
it's the poison apple from the classic Disney movie. You
know what I'm talking about. This isn't Milwaukee, right, One
bad start with the Mets. This guy goes out Freddie
(08:12):
Peralta and rides the vomit comet on opening day and
the headlines on the post star like Freddy from the
horror movie. That kind of thing, right, They just go crazy.
It's great. So one bad start and the market turns
very bearish. The media market turns very bearish. And so
why did the Mets do this? Once Obviously they did
(08:33):
this because the owner went scortch Earth. The owner of
the Mets went on a rampage and got embarrassed because
he thought that Tucker was gonna sign with the Mets,
and they didn't get Tucker. So then they scrambled. They
had to then raise the offer to Boba Schett get
him from Toronto. He was supposed to go to Philadelphia,
so they went there and Cohen, the Mets owner, just like,
(08:53):
we gotta get players, we gotta get players. So they
did that, and then they made the trade with the
White Sox for the guy that sucks the center field there,
but he was good at years ago. And now they've
traded for a number one pitcher. And so it's the owner.
But also because David Stearn's the general manager, he knows
the asset. He's got a pipeline back to the Cream City.
He was with the Brew Crew for a number of years.
So it's calculated exposure. And all trades are volatile, like
(09:19):
that's that's always the case. However, the upside on this
one I will be Benny bright side. The upside beats
the downside. And yeah, it's rather than just part cash
and the money market and all that stuff. No, this
is a Wall Street type deal with a Rosin bag.
If you will, you buy quality, you manage your risk,
and you let the tape play and peralta. Again, he's
(09:42):
gonna be the Mets opening day starter because they don't
have anybody else all right now. Secondly, we stay in
the New York market. We go to the big box
store one more time. The last of the top free
agent hitters is off the market. The last of the
big time free agent hitters has gone off the market
this offseason. The deal is in New York. Yankee out
(10:04):
there last year. Cody Bellinger has picked his new team.
Did you see this? Cody Bellinger's new team is his
old team. Bellinger's stand put. He is saying right where
he was standing, pat agreeing to stay with the Pinstripers
(10:24):
for one hundred and sixty two and a half million dollars.
Of course, contracts aren't what they seem. Five year contract.
The agreement subject to a physical, which may be a problem.
Bellinger will get a nice cartoon sized check for twenty
million dollars. That is a signing bonus available April Fool's Day,
which is appropriate April Fool's day making this move. He
(10:48):
also has a full no trade provision. Cody Bellinger has
a no trade provision. He also has the right to
opt out in twenty twenty seven after the twenty twenty
seven season or twenty twenty eight. He put language in
the contract to protect him for the inevitable workstoppage when
(11:08):
everyone has a conniption fit because the Dodgers try to
win and your owner doesn't try to win, So you
want to punish the Dodgers. Now, the question Cody Bellinger
staying with the New York Yankees, is this a red
light or green light? So I looked at the sign
(11:28):
there and I'm looking up here, I'm at the intersection,
and this is not a green light. It's not a
red light. This is a yellow light, like blinking cautious.
Don't you dare step on the gas yellow light? So
think about like monopoly. Like we're sitting here in January
(11:48):
of twenty twenty six and Cody Bellinger just signed a
deal that basically, if it was monopoly, it would be
like the chance card. Right, you pulled it from the
bottom of the deck, you might get fifty dollars. You
might be headed straight to baseball jail. That's the thing
about Bellinger. I don't trust the guy. He's had a
good bounce back. I have PTSD from his Dodger days
(12:09):
when he was stealing money there. I do love the
fact that he got a reality check in many ways
because Bellinger and his agent, Scott Boris walked into the
free agent marketplace. They put their little tent up in
free agency full of hubris, complete hubris, like acting like
the guy in Monopoly that has boardwalk and park place
(12:30):
and demanding a seven year skyscraper contract for Cody Bellinger.
And he wanted to just have one contract, that's it,
But the market told him Bellinger and Scott Boris take
a hike and keep going as a dead end street,
but just keep going right there. Yeah, so it is true.
One hundred and sixty two and a half million dollars
is a lot of monopoly money, even for settling. Regardless,
(12:55):
I would argue it's risky business for both sides. Here's why,
at age third, Cody Melinger his approach to baseball contact
and lift uppercut swing, and he's had a lot of injuries.
The back tweaks a little bit, the thing of a
jake doesn't quite work in the back, and in Monopoly
he would be stuck on Baltic Avenue with a mortgage.
(13:18):
He campaign his career has been more erratic than a
pair of loaded dice since twenty nineteen. You cambine just
regular aging for athletes injury risk and you gave him
a no trade cost. That is a mess. That is now.
The Yankees know this, so they did front load the contract.
(13:40):
This guy's gonna get eighty five million. Cody Bouner is
gonna get eighty five million the first two years of
the deal when you include the sounding bonus and all
that stuff. So if the power does zap out, he's
just a guy collecting a couple bucks here and there,
passing go while the team wishes they hadn't given him
the contract, try to bury him on the injury list
(14:00):
or the bench or whatever. And he's trying to play
the high roller and one bad slide away from bankruptcy.
So I am skeptical on the Bellinger contract working out.
The Yankees had to bring him back the way the
market went. The final thought to the NBA. So I
(14:21):
rip the NBA a lot. I take shots at the NBA.
It is not what I remember it to be. The
product is not good. It's like going through your favorite
restaurant and you order the same thing and then all
of a sudden they put the cockroaches in. I don't
want cockroaches, but that's what we put in there now.
But it's not what it used to be but just
eat it because you like it, and so it's kind
(14:42):
of like that, it's just not a great product, but
I have it on when I get I'm a very
methodical creature of habit with my day when I'm getting
ready for the show and I'm trying to find things
that are interesting to me, and I have the NBA
on in the background most of the time, so I've
got a game on and I'm it's kind of paying
attention a little bit, but I'm not really paying at
(15:03):
most of the time. I have the mute button on
because the announcers annoy me. They really man like I
was watching they had the it was at Milwaukee and
Oklahoma City. I don't know if I should admit that
on the radio. I might need to go to get
some help. But I had that on the background, and
Doris Burke was doing the game, so I had the
mute button on that right away, so I couldn't hear her.
The other problem, though, is I've had this issue where
(15:24):
I keep trying to find Charles Barkley. I missed Charles Barkley,
and it turns out that Charles Barkley missus Charles bark
Did you see this, so Charles Barkley expressing that he's
frustrated that the Inside the NBA show, the most popular
show in pro basketball Inside the NBA, more popular than
ninety eight percent of the NBA teams, has appeared. You
(15:45):
how many times Charles Barkley has worked the NBA seasons
past the midway point? You know how many times Charles
Barkley's worked this NBA season? Not one, not two, not three?
Four times? There are times in three months. How do
I get that job four times in three months? Anyway,
(16:07):
Barkley's complaining about that. He wishes he had more opportunity
to work, which is amusing because Barkley had been complaining
about not wanting to work too much at Espen and
so now he gets four days of work in three
months of the NBA season in the first half, and
he didn't want to over commit, made a big stink
(16:28):
about that, and so they're not working. So let's play
the word game. You want to play the word game.
I love the word games. Big fan of words. I
wish I was a big fan of words when I
was a student. I would have done better in school
as an adult. I love words. I love learning new words.
I'm all about words. So the question Charles Barkley only
working four days during the NBA season is blank. What's
the word for that? My word is disservice is my word.
(16:52):
That's my word, disservice, capital D full stop. Charles Barkley
working four days and three months. It's like he's working
one of those no show jobs Kawhi Leonard has where
you just do some environmental company and get a pension
and all that that is load managment. We don't want
loads management. All the guy does is talk. When do
we do load management for talking heads? It is also
(17:15):
a kick in the teeth to the theme who needs
the comfort food of Ernie, Charles, Kenny and Shack. We're
not getting that. You know, ESPN has turned the round
mound of rebound into the round mound of background. He's
in the background, he's well paid, he's been marginalized. Barkley
is so bored. He's doing all these random radio interviews
(17:38):
because he's bored out of his mind. And at this point,
you know what Charles Barkley is Sasquatch. It's like Bigfoot
trying to find Charles Barklay. And people swear that Barkley's
around and he's still commenting on the NBA and never
see him, never see him. I used to hunt on
Knights that they were calling his Where's Ernie Johnson? Kenny
(18:01):
Smith and Shaquille and neland Park. I've given up now,
I've thrown in the sponge. I've thrown the Meanwhile, the
games are handled by a bunch of absolute hacks, right,
just complete zeros that are that are in there, and
it's it's like an elementary school level broadcast. The people
who do these studio shows, they're so bad. And Charles
(18:23):
Barkley's at home, likely Benton parlays from his recliner elbow
deep and kettlecorn like it's a crime scene. And we're
stuck watching these these turds on TV. And inside the
NBA is they it's vanished. It's vanished, no announcement, just
crickets and some weird people doing cosplay, like we care
(18:45):
what they have to say about the NBA? What is
that they did? They disappeared. It is the Ben Malord Show.

the other Kelsey. This is the one that's already married
and his wife does this annoying podcast. I think I
(22:09):
don't know, I've never heard it, but seems like it
would be annoying. Brandon says Jason Kelsey will attempt to
join Dick and Dayton's kettering banjo society band. That's a
good one. I like that one from Brandon. What else
do we have? He's gonna act normal for monkey biz.
Doug see here. Black and Blum writes in from Parts
Unknown says that Kelsey Kelsey. That'll be Jason Kelsey will
(22:33):
be shopping for a rocky statue in his shopping cart. Okay,
what else we have? A donkey Sausage says he's going
to try to get tires from tire act just like me? Yeah? Absolutely?
Who else do we have? Putting two coherent sentences together
from Eke, don't get crazy, don't get crazy? Y see
(22:53):
what else we have? Page down reciting the alphabet backwards
from Inca Tarr Always hard to do Late Night drug
Testers says that Jason Kelsey will attempt to sing the
Canadian national anthem at a Flyers game upcoming. Eileen in
San Francisco says he will attempt dog grooming. Well, that's
a good looking truck for a dog groomer, it says.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, it's Eileen sent this to me, She says she.
I don't know if this is she found this on
the internet or it's in San Francisco. It's mobile dog
rooming and its name is cut a Bitch is the
name of the place. That's pretty good. I don't know
if that's real or not. For that, I hope that's real.
I hope that's legit, Eileen, that's great. JT. The Wingman
says to attempt to Nathan's hot dog eating contest. He's
(23:38):
going to audition, according to Milkman Mike, for the live
version of K Pop Demon Hunters. What else we have?
Page down the sequel to the garbage picking field goal
kicking Philadelphia phenomena from King Rory Paige down, Let's see Mallard.
Prop Guy says he will attempt to simultaneously dunk an
(23:58):
apple fritter cinnamon roll and a Philly cheese steak sandwich
in his cup of coffee. Okay, a witchcraft from courtesy Flusher.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I like that one.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
That's his answer? What else the page and Alfie all
Pinter says Jason Kelsey will attempt to persuade Charles Barkley
to appear on the Fifth Hour podcast. Oh I'd love
to have Barkley. That is great. I've actually interviewed Barkley before.
I did a show here at Fox Sports Radio with
Chris Myers, and he's buddies with Barkley, so we had
(24:29):
him on a few times. He was great. He's just
a bull crap artist, you know. I respect that. I
know what that's like. Ferg Doog says to attempt to
make his house electro magnetic proof. That's from from Ferg Dog.
All right, far out Dave just sends a bunch of
big words like tiptoeing, tight line tying, turquoise, twist loose,
(24:51):
turned into a leading triple Lindy, all right, Lrader, you
have an answer. Eagles announced that franchise legend Jason Kelsey
will attempt blank and that is the question. What is
the answer.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I think he's going to attempt to sky dive across
the eagles field home opening game next season.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
All right, is sky diving the answer? Let's see here, No,
it's it's unfortunately well. The Eagles announced that franchise legend
Jason Kelsey will be attempting to dunk a basketball at
a seventy six ers game. Jason Kelsey will attempt to
dunk a basketball in front of a live studio audience
(25:35):
inside the arena. This will take place a week from today,
So this is coming not today, This is Thursday the
twenty second. This will be Thursday the twenty ninth. It
is against the Sacramento Kings. And keep in mind that
the reason they're doing this is because no one wants
to watch a King's sixers game, so they have to
come up with some other promotions to get people to
stay engaged. And there you go. And apparently he's going
(25:58):
to attempt to uh to do this and there's a
good chance he tears something and it'll make for a
good highlight on the internet and go viral. Let's go
to the phones and we'll say alloy, hello to dad
boy Malcolm and a legend. We don't talk to Malcolm
very often, but reason hello Malcolm.

Speaker 7 (28:04):
You're in the radio.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, you're with the good guy exactly. Now you can
call in again. It's great. Look at you. It's like
a friend his returned to our family. A friend is back.
That boy, Malcolm. We had good times back in the
old days. And you got that. You know, you're working
in the business.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
That's wonderful, working in the business.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
But I've been with our horse, says March of last year.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
But no, no, I know. But you you used to
used to be a big part of the show back
in the day.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
Yeah, I got I got my national radio drop and
I was like, okay, I got to take this serious.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That's right, And you did, and that's great. All right, well,
thank you. Malcolm's good to hear hear your voice again.
It's all right, good man, I have the great Malcolm.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I guess I gotta go check my email.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Yeah, Malcolm's good people. Man, he's a good guy. I
just love you guys that love radio, and we need
more people that love radio. And I gotta make mess
make radio great again. It's it's better than podcasting because
it's live and then you it's like it's like the
best of both worlds. If you don't want to listen live,
you can listen to the podcast. But that's like, just
like I said, it's my age. I love like the
(29:08):
live thing. You do it live, you know, podcast, you
f it up, you go back and edit it and
all that stuff. Well, here's some big news also developing.
We have the breaking news sounder. We have big news here.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Big news the board that I keep away from our
board because we never had ale on.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Sech we'd like to learn all the affiliates here. Big
news on the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
We are happy to report that the legend that is
Cowboy Drew has returned to the show. Not only that
boy Malcolm, but Cowboy Drew. He's the guy that gave
us the malard cow, which unfortunately made some nice burgers.
But the Mallard cow, we did have a cow from
Cowboy Drew. And he says his account was hacked back
(29:53):
in October and he he can't get it back, so
he started a second account and he he's back on
the show. How exciting. He's not touched my cow. Okay,
that's my heifer. Well, somebody killed my cow.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
So oh he didn't even get to taste your cow.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
No, I did not get to eat my own cow.
I did not, And I like that. I would eat
my own cow. I would. It is. It is odd though,
the people I have. My wife has some friends she
works with and they live out like the farmland, and
they've got like chickens and stuff and different animals, and
you know they need some meat. They'll just take the
thing behind the house and chop chop, bang bang, and
(30:33):
then they got supper. So it's odd to me. You know,
when I want supper, I go to the store and
they have everything ready for me right there. It's all
in plastic and I just grab what I want and
I then I go home and cook it. That's my
that's my move. Absolutely. Alf the Alien Potter says, let's
hope that Kelsey doesn't suffer the same fate as Tom Segura,
who broke his arm playing basketball with Burt From Alf,
(30:58):
I guess that's a fun fact. All right. Well, anyway,
let's go back to the phones. It is a call
in show. We'll say hello to Mike the Leprecun. We
have asked Ben coming up. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.

Speaker 8 (31:37):
No, I'm up anyways, and my Leprechaun lodge is ninety
eight point done, and I'm getting my pool table on Saturday,

Think, Okay, I believe you. I believe you.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Okay, here's nothing that.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
When we're done with that, why not on a ticke

are you going to do next? You got to move
on to something else.
Speaker 8 (32:01):
I have to finish off a couple of well decorations
and bedrooms and work. Anyway, I have a long rest.

My book.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
My book has to be coming. I have to write
my book that's ongoing. Anyway. I wish I had a dog,
but not Doc Mike, because one time I went into
his office and the nurse gave me very bad news.
He said, Mike, you only have thirty seconds to live.
And then Doc Mike came in and said, oh give
(32:30):
me a minute.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
You know this is on the air.

It all right, We're gonna start off with a question
for you or no if this is for all of us, Okay,
Freddie wants to know. Hi, Freddy, if you could switch
bodies with someone, who would it be?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Let see switched bodies with someone? Because I need a
time machine and I would like to go back, and
I want to be Babe Ruth with the Yankees playing
for the Yankees is what I would like to do.
I think that would be fun back in the day,
although they didn't actually have a lot of the modern stuff,
so I don't know that i'd love that, but that
would be kind of cool to be the bambino. What
about you, Lorraine?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Oh, you know I'm sexy enough. I'll say just how
I am.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Thank you very much, Lora. Look at that humble bragg
by LORRAINA cool elop.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
So there's an important like thing that I need to
know here. If it's if it's temporary or if it's permanent.
So well, if it's permanent, you just go to like
a toddler and then you just start over it. If
it's permanent, I'd probably choose like you know, prime, like
twenty something year old Lebron. Uh. If it's temporary, I'm
(35:52):
choosing Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Wow. There's a lot there. Cool. You want to share?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
You want?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (36:03):
I wonder what you would do for that time.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Period, Okay, a lot of you know, introspection. All right,
Femi would like to know.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Hi, Fami, I've met fa FAMMI made these great bumper stickers,
which is just wonderful.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
When was the last time you watched a movie or
a show or anything on DVD or VHS.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
He's probably around twenty fifteen, been eleven years or so
something along those lines. It's been at least a decade.
What about you?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Lareda how funny?
Speaker 6 (36:38):
A couple months back, I went to my friend's house
down in San Diego, and his friend, like his parents
don't do the whole big TV with the downloading stuff.
They had a full bookcase of DVDs to choose from,
and they're like, it's your Since you're here just for
the weekend, you get to pick up movie. And I'm
looking and I'm like, wow, it's like the Blockbuster of homes.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Well, they don't make do They don't make DVDs for
the movies today they have come out.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Right, No, no, no, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
So it's all they don't.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
It's just they don't make DVDs anymore.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I don't think so who's buying them?
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I think they do.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Who's buying them?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
What's the Let me look this up all we ask.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
There might be some countries that buy them, but not here.
I've not seen DVDs when I go to the store.
What about you? Cool?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I believe the last movie that I've watched was, uh,
it was The Dark Night on Blu ray. So I
don't know how long ago that was, but it's been
a while.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yeah. Well I remember my parents were being gone for
a while, but they had so many VHS, tapes and
DVD they love. They loved the hell out of that.
Speaker 6 (37:41):
They do still make them for popular releases.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Okay, probably not many. Next next ask man, your questions
are answer.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
This's next question is from ferg Dog High for dog.
He wants to know, will you still eat stuff from
your fridge if they're past the best date?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Yes. This is a big problem in the Malord mansion
because my wife will throw stuff away immediately. And I
always say, you gotta do the smell and the you
gotta do the smell and the eyeball test, because that's
just a guesstimation those expiration dates. Sometimes food expires before
the expiration date, and sometimes it's way after. She's gotta
like smell it and eyeball it. But she's immediately throwing
(38:24):
stuff away. What are you doing? You're wasting her money?
And so yeah, we argue about that. What about you rain.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
Yeah, I don't open my fridge very much, and if
it does have a passpoint expiration date, I'm not touching it,
even like milk. I'm like, I'm not if it says
best Buy, like, no, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
I'm going to open it.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I'll eat stuff way after it just smell it. If
it smells bad, if you see mold on it, obviously
don't eat it. I did eat. Oh this is bad though.
Oh yeah, I should tell I should get us on
the podcast. But we had some Hawaiian rolls that were
laying around, you know, and they looked fine through the
little plastic thing, and so I grabbed one and ate
it and there was covered in molding. Oh.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
I don't know about you, guys.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
My dad used to keep like blocks of cheddar cheese
in the fridge and as they molded, he would just
continually cut the mold off and serve us the cheese underneath.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
There are some foods that you can do that with,
and then there's others that you can't because like the
the mold will go through the whole thing or it
sticks to it. You have to like look it up.
But I'm like you, Ben, I will you just gotta
you gotta smell, you gotta look at it and make
the determination from there because it you know, like you
buy the oor wheat loaves of bread those last way
(39:36):
past the date that they.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Have on there. Yeah, exactly. And there's ways you can
bring food back. Put it in the microwave for a
little bit, or air fry or whatever, it'll come back
to life. Yeah, kind of got on the bats. What's next?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Lady Sideburns would like to know my favorite lady, Lady Sideburns,
have you ever been violently bitten by an animal that
did not belong to you.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Like a dog or something like that. I did get
bitten by dog, but it wasn't like violin, so I
didn't really count when I was a kid. What about you,
lareda Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (40:06):
There's this one dog when I was at a campground
and he had three legs, and I thought he'd be
the one I should go pet because I don't wan
pet him because they only got three legs. I went
up to go pet him and they tried to bite
me and I never tried to pet another dog again.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
That's not a nice dog. What about you, Coop.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
I have been bitten by a snake, but that's that's
about it.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Oh that seems kind of like what kind of snake?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
It was an acting snake. It was on during during
a movie shoot.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Oh wow, got a good lawsuit on
How do you do? It's our number three, our number three,
and we go to the Mallards scorebook. Here in our
number three, the Malar scorebook, what does it read for
the Mets trading for Brewers as Freddie Peralta the late
Wednesday night trade. We react to it here on the
(00:21):
Ben mal Show and our three. Also Cody Bellinger staying
put with the New York Yankees. Is this a red
light or a green light situation? And Charles Barkley in
the NBA complaining he's only worked four days so far
during the NBA season. Charles Barkley only working four days
during the NBA season is blank? We will discuss that.
(00:45):
What's the word for that? And much more right now
here it is our number three on a shopping spree
for the ages. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air
a re waere allies, as we are on the discussion
(01:12):
aisle coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
the mast and bodaciously powerful microphones of fs are eminating
live from the deec as we get our opponent out

(01:33):

toilet papy that one plied dry to Oh my god,

show is sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting
part of the NFL, and and B right now use
(03:01):
the promo code Mallard to claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again,
that's promo code Mallard. At DraftKings. The crown is yours
and we are back at it here talking bays ball. Yeah, baseball,
Why are you talking baseball? I won't want to talk
about football. Shut up, all right, So we'll go to
(03:23):
Queens and the shopping spree continues, as what happens when
a hedge fun guy doesn't get the player that he wants,
he starts getting a bunch of other players. The wheeling
and dealing continues in Gotham. If you haven't heard the latest,
maybe not another late night move. We thank the Metropolitans
for making these moves just before we come on the radio,
(03:43):
so we have things fresh to talk about. The New
York Mets have made a move for a number one
starting pitcher, the ace in the hole, The ace in
the hole. The Mets have acquired pitcher Freddie Peralta from Milwaukee,
and that move coming down not that long before we
(04:03):
came on the radio. In a trade that sent not one,
but two suspects. A prospect is a suspect until proven
otherwise to the Milwaukee Brewers. So Freddie Peralta, leaving Wisconsin
and heading to New York, the Mets also picked up
a right handed picture to Bias Myers in that particular trade. Now,
(04:25):
in theory, Freddie Peralta gives the Mets a frontline starter.
Their rotation was put together with scotch tape, and there
was some Elmer's glue, and there was a pocket knife,
and they put it all together. The rotation crumbled in
the second half as the Mets were abject failures. So
(04:46):
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question for the class. What is the mallor score book?
What does it read the mallor scorebook? What does it
read for the Mets, trade for the Brewers? As Freddie Alta,
so on the scoreboard, I've got blue Chip, Hubris and Sasquatch,
(05:08):
and we will combide all of these things together and
we are going to have a dirty water dog. A
dirty water dog is what we're gonna have.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
First of all, we've got the Mets on the scorebook
at an aus. This is strong it's not a yolo trade.
It's not a you only live one situation. The Mets
just added what I believe is a legitimate blue chip arm.
(05:38):
You look at all the measurables, prime age. He's in
this athletic prime. He's got the strikeout juice that you need.
He's been somewhat consistent in recent years when it comes
to innings and all that stuff. So think of it
like Wall Street. This is a growth stock that should
pay immediate dividends for the Mets, as he will be
(05:59):
the open day starter. Barring an injury, he'll be at
the very top there. Now for the Brewers on the
malar scorecard, for our friends in Milwaukee, I have in Wisconsin,
I have stinky cheese, is what I wrote down here.
For the Brewers, my chicken scratch grade was a C minus.
He can't give any more than a C minus. And
here's why. The brew crew they are lumberjacks in Milwaukee,
(06:23):
which means they grow them up. The trees that grow
them up, they flip them and they ring up the
register and all that. So you het the buttons on
the register and right before free agency. So paralta the
reason the trade happened is Paralta's got an expiring contract
is eight million dollars, which is not much in modern baseball.
So the Brewers are like, well, this guy's gonna leave
(06:45):
and we're not going to keep him. So they sold
him to the Mets for some Keno cards before the bell.
It is sensible, it is uninspiring. It doesn't get you
all excited. I can't get all excited now. There is
this risk for the Mets. I gave the Mets an
a on the scorecard, a minus on the scorecard scorecard.
(07:06):
The reason I gave them an a minus is there
is a good chance of regression. Extreme outcomes are followed
by more moderate ones. And last year was a rocket
launch for Freddie Peralta. Everything came together the low batting
average with balls in play, which is one of the
numbers the nerds look at usually year to year. If
(07:27):
you have an extreme year where you get pretty lucky
the balls in play, you don't get a lot of
hits given up. That thing levels off the following year,
and so that is a bit of a red flag. Also,
gravity undefeated and all that. Projections say that his era
is going to go up a decent amount playing for
the Mets. And you've also got the Komodo dragon in
the room. Now, what is the Komodo dragon sticking its
(07:50):
tongue out in the room taking a bite out of
the big apple. Now, there are players that thrive playing
in New York, and that's great for them, but there's
more players that take a bite into that apple. And
it's the poison apple from the classic Disney movie. You
know what I'm talking about. This isn't Milwaukee, right, One
bad start with the Mets. This guy goes out Freddie
(08:12):
Peralta and rides the vomit comet on opening day and
the headlines on the post star like Freddy from the
horror movie. That kind of thing, right, They just go crazy.
It's great. So one bad start and the market turns
very bearish. The media market turns very bearish. And so
why did the Mets do this? Once Obviously they did
(08:33):
this because the owner went scortch Earth. The owner of
the Mets went on a rampage and got embarrassed because
he thought that Tucker was gonna sign with the Mets,
and they didn't get Tucker. So then they scrambled. They
had to then raise the offer to Boba Schett get
him from Toronto. He was supposed to go to Philadelphia,
so they went there and Cohen, the Mets owner, just like,
(08:53):
we gotta get players, we gotta get players. So they
did that, and then they made the trade with the
White Sox for the guy that sucks the center field there,
but he was good at years ago. And now they've
traded for a number one pitcher. And so it's the owner.
But also because David Stearn's the general manager, he knows
the asset. He's got a pipeline back to the Cream City.
He was with the Brew Crew for a number of years.
So it's calculated exposure. And all trades are volatile, like
(09:19):
that's that's always the case. However, the upside on this
one I will be Benny bright side. The upside beats
the downside. And yeah, it's rather than just part cash
and the money market and all that stuff. No, this
is a Wall Street type deal with a Rosin bag.
If you will, you buy quality, you manage your risk,
and you let the tape play and peralta. Again, he's
(09:42):
gonna be the Mets opening day starter because they don't
have anybody else all right now. Secondly, we stay in
the New York market. We go to the big box
store one more time. The last of the top free
agent hitters is off the market. The last of the
big time free agent hitters has gone off the market
this offseason. The deal is in New York. Yankee out
(10:04):
there last year. Cody Bellinger has picked his new team.
Did you see this? Cody Bellinger's new team is his
old team. Bellinger's stand put. He is saying right where
he was standing, pat agreeing to stay with the Pinstripers
(10:24):
for one hundred and sixty two and a half million dollars.
Of course, contracts aren't what they seem. Five year contract.
The agreement subject to a physical, which may be a problem.
Bellinger will get a nice cartoon sized check for twenty
million dollars. That is a signing bonus available April Fool's Day,
which is appropriate April Fool's day making this move. He
(10:48):
also has a full no trade provision. Cody Bellinger has
a no trade provision. He also has the right to
opt out in twenty twenty seven after the twenty twenty
seven season or twenty twenty eight. He put language in
the contract to protect him for the inevitable workstoppage when
(11:08):
everyone has a conniption fit because the Dodgers try to
win and your owner doesn't try to win, So you
want to punish the Dodgers. Now, the question Cody Bellinger
staying with the New York Yankees, is this a red
light or green light? So I looked at the sign
(11:28):
there and I'm looking up here, I'm at the intersection,
and this is not a green light. It's not a
red light. This is a yellow light, like blinking cautious.
Don't you dare step on the gas yellow light? So
think about like monopoly. Like we're sitting here in January
(11:48):
of twenty twenty six and Cody Bellinger just signed a
deal that basically, if it was monopoly, it would be
like the chance card. Right, you pulled it from the
bottom of the deck, you might get fifty dollars. You
might be headed straight to baseball jail. That's the thing
about Bellinger. I don't trust the guy. He's had a
good bounce back. I have PTSD from his Dodger days
(12:09):
when he was stealing money there. I do love the
fact that he got a reality check in many ways
because Bellinger and his agent, Scott Boris walked into the
free agent marketplace. They put their little tent up in
free agency full of hubris, complete hubris, like acting like
the guy in Monopoly that has boardwalk and park place
(12:30):
and demanding a seven year skyscraper contract for Cody Bellinger.
And he wanted to just have one contract, that's it,
But the market told him Bellinger and Scott Boris take
a hike and keep going as a dead end street,
but just keep going right there. Yeah, so it is true.
One hundred and sixty two and a half million dollars
is a lot of monopoly money, even for settling. Regardless,
(12:55):
I would argue it's risky business for both sides. Here's why,
at age third, Cody Melinger his approach to baseball contact
and lift uppercut swing, and he's had a lot of injuries.
The back tweaks a little bit, the thing of a
jake doesn't quite work in the back, and in Monopoly
he would be stuck on Baltic Avenue with a mortgage.
(13:18):
He campaign his career has been more erratic than a
pair of loaded dice since twenty nineteen. You cambine just
regular aging for athletes injury risk and you gave him
a no trade cost. That is a mess. That is now.
The Yankees know this, so they did front load the contract.
(13:40):
This guy's gonna get eighty five million. Cody Bouner is
gonna get eighty five million the first two years of
the deal when you include the sounding bonus and all
that stuff. So if the power does zap out, he's
just a guy collecting a couple bucks here and there,
passing go while the team wishes they hadn't given him
the contract, try to bury him on the injury list
(14:00):
or the bench or whatever. And he's trying to play
the high roller and one bad slide away from bankruptcy.
So I am skeptical on the Bellinger contract working out.
The Yankees had to bring him back the way the
market went. The final thought to the NBA. So I
(14:21):
rip the NBA a lot. I take shots at the NBA.
It is not what I remember it to be. The
product is not good. It's like going through your favorite
restaurant and you order the same thing and then all
of a sudden they put the cockroaches in. I don't
want cockroaches, but that's what we put in there now.
But it's not what it used to be but just
eat it because you like it, and so it's kind
(14:42):
of like that, it's just not a great product, but
I have it on when I get I'm a very
methodical creature of habit with my day when I'm getting
ready for the show and I'm trying to find things
that are interesting to me, and I have the NBA
on in the background most of the time, so I've
got a game on and I'm it's kind of paying
attention a little bit, but I'm not really paying at
(15:03):
most of the time. I have the mute button on
because the announcers annoy me. They really man like I
was watching they had the it was at Milwaukee and
Oklahoma City. I don't know if I should admit that
on the radio. I might need to go to get
some help. But I had that on the background, and
Doris Burke was doing the game, so I had the
mute button on that right away, so I couldn't hear her.
The other problem, though, is I've had this issue where
(15:24):
I keep trying to find Charles Barkley. I missed Charles Barkley,
and it turns out that Charles Barkley missus Charles bark
Did you see this, so Charles Barkley expressing that he's
frustrated that the Inside the NBA show, the most popular
show in pro basketball Inside the NBA, more popular than
ninety eight percent of the NBA teams, has appeared. You
(15:45):
how many times Charles Barkley has worked the NBA seasons
past the midway point? You know how many times Charles
Barkley's worked this NBA season? Not one, not two, not three?
Four times? There are times in three months. How do
I get that job four times in three months? Anyway,
(16:07):
Barkley's complaining about that. He wishes he had more opportunity
to work, which is amusing because Barkley had been complaining
about not wanting to work too much at Espen and
so now he gets four days of work in three
months of the NBA season in the first half, and
he didn't want to over commit, made a big stink
(16:28):
about that, and so they're not working. So let's play
the word game. You want to play the word game.
I love the word games. Big fan of words. I
wish I was a big fan of words when I
was a student. I would have done better in school
as an adult. I love words. I love learning new words.
I'm all about words. So the question Charles Barkley only
working four days during the NBA season is blank. What's
the word for that? My word is disservice is my word.
(16:52):
That's my word, disservice, capital D full stop. Charles Barkley
working four days and three months. It's like he's working
one of those no show jobs Kawhi Leonard has where
you just do some environmental company and get a pension
and all that that is load managment. We don't want
loads management. All the guy does is talk. When do
we do load management for talking heads? It is also
(17:15):
a kick in the teeth to the theme who needs
the comfort food of Ernie, Charles, Kenny and Shack. We're
not getting that. You know, ESPN has turned the round
mound of rebound into the round mound of background. He's
in the background, he's well paid, he's been marginalized. Barkley
is so bored. He's doing all these random radio interviews
(17:38):
because he's bored out of his mind. And at this point,
you know what Charles Barkley is Sasquatch. It's like Bigfoot
trying to find Charles Barklay. And people swear that Barkley's
around and he's still commenting on the NBA and never
see him, never see him. I used to hunt on
Knights that they were calling his Where's Ernie Johnson? Kenny
(18:01):
Smith and Shaquille and neland Park. I've given up now,
I've thrown in the sponge. I've thrown the Meanwhile, the
games are handled by a bunch of absolute hacks, right,
just complete zeros that are that are in there, and
it's it's like an elementary school level broadcast. The people
who do these studio shows, they're so bad. And Charles
(18:23):
Barkley's at home, likely Benton parlays from his recliner elbow
deep and kettlecorn like it's a crime scene. And we're
stuck watching these these turds on TV. And inside the
NBA is they it's vanished. It's vanished, no announcement, just
crickets and some weird people doing cosplay, like we care
(18:45):
what they have to say about the NBA? What is
that they did? They disappeared. It is the Ben Malord Show.
If you'd like to comment on any of that, you
can join us right now eight seven seven ninety nine

(21:47):
That is the question. What is the answer. When Joe
the ghost Ounterer says to have Taylor make good music, Wow,
Mike the Leprechaun says he will attempt bungee jumping during
his honeymoon. We he's already Mary. This is the other
It's bad Kelsey knowledge by Mike the Leprecaun. This is
the other Kelsey. This is the one that's already married
and his wife does this annoying podcast. I think I
(22:09):
don't know, I've never heard it, but seems like it
would be annoying. Brandon says Jason Kelsey will attempt to
join Dick and Dayton's kettering banjo society band. That's a
good one. I like that one from Brandon. What else
do we have? He's gonna act normal for monkey biz.
Doug see here. Black and Blum writes in from Parts
Unknown says that Kelsey Kelsey. That'll be Jason Kelsey will
(22:33):
be shopping for a rocky statue in his shopping cart. Okay,
what else we have? A donkey Sausage says he's going
to try to get tires from tire act just like me? Yeah? Absolutely?
Who else do we have? Putting two coherent sentences together
from Eke, don't get crazy, don't get crazy? Y see
(22:53):
what else we have? Page down reciting the alphabet backwards
from Inca Tarr Always hard to do Late Night drug
Testers says that Jason Kelsey will attempt to sing the
Canadian national anthem at a Flyers game upcoming. Eileen in
San Francisco says he will attempt dog grooming. Well, that's
a good looking truck for a dog groomer, it says.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, it's Eileen sent this to me, She says she.
I don't know if this is she found this on
the internet or it's in San Francisco. It's mobile dog
rooming and its name is cut a Bitch is the
name of the place. That's pretty good. I don't know
if that's real or not. For that, I hope that's real.
I hope that's legit, Eileen, that's great. JT. The Wingman
says to attempt to Nathan's hot dog eating contest. He's
(23:38):
going to audition, according to Milkman Mike, for the live
version of K Pop Demon Hunters. What else we have?
Page down the sequel to the garbage picking field goal
kicking Philadelphia phenomena from King Rory Paige down, Let's see Mallard.
Prop Guy says he will attempt to simultaneously dunk an
(23:58):
apple fritter cinnamon roll and a Philly cheese steak sandwich
in his cup of coffee. Okay, a witchcraft from courtesy Flusher.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I like that one.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
That's his answer? What else the page and Alfie all
Pinter says Jason Kelsey will attempt to persuade Charles Barkley
to appear on the Fifth Hour podcast. Oh I'd love
to have Barkley. That is great. I've actually interviewed Barkley before.
I did a show here at Fox Sports Radio with
Chris Myers, and he's buddies with Barkley, so we had
(24:29):
him on a few times. He was great. He's just
a bull crap artist, you know. I respect that. I
know what that's like. Ferg Doog says to attempt to
make his house electro magnetic proof. That's from from Ferg Dog.
All right, far out Dave just sends a bunch of
big words like tiptoeing, tight line tying, turquoise, twist loose,
(24:51):
turned into a leading triple Lindy, all right, Lrader, you
have an answer. Eagles announced that franchise legend Jason Kelsey
will attempt blank and that is the question. What is
the answer.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I think he's going to attempt to sky dive across
the eagles field home opening game next season.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
All right, is sky diving the answer? Let's see here, No,
it's it's unfortunately well. The Eagles announced that franchise legend
Jason Kelsey will be attempting to dunk a basketball at
a seventy six ers game. Jason Kelsey will attempt to
dunk a basketball in front of a live studio audience
(25:35):
inside the arena. This will take place a week from today,
So this is coming not today, This is Thursday the
twenty second. This will be Thursday the twenty ninth. It
is against the Sacramento Kings. And keep in mind that
the reason they're doing this is because no one wants
to watch a King's sixers game, so they have to
come up with some other promotions to get people to
stay engaged. And there you go. And apparently he's going
(25:58):
to attempt to uh to do this and there's a
good chance he tears something and it'll make for a
good highlight on the internet and go viral. Let's go
to the phones and we'll say alloy, hello to dad
boy Malcolm and a legend. We don't talk to Malcolm
very often, but reason hello Malcolm.

Yeah, Malcolm's good people. Man, he's a good guy. I
just love you guys that love radio, and we need
more people that love radio. And I gotta make mess
make radio great again. It's it's better than podcasting because
it's live and then you it's like it's like the
best of both worlds. If you don't want to listen live,
you can listen to the podcast. But that's like, just
like I said, it's my age. I love like the
(29:08):
live thing. You do it live, you know, podcast, you
f it up, you go back and edit it and
all that stuff. Well, here's some big news also developing.
We have the breaking news sounder. We have big news here.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Big news the board that I keep away from our
board because we never had ale on.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Sech we'd like to learn all the affiliates here. Big
news on the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
We are happy to report that the legend that is
Cowboy Drew has returned to the show. Not only that
boy Malcolm, but Cowboy Drew. He's the guy that gave
us the malard cow, which unfortunately made some nice burgers.
But the Mallard cow, we did have a cow from
Cowboy Drew. And he says his account was hacked back
(29:53):
in October and he he can't get it back, so
he started a second account and he he's back on
the show. How exciting. He's not touched my cow. Okay,
that's my heifer. Well, somebody killed my cow.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
So oh he didn't even get to taste your cow.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
No, I did not get to eat my own cow.
I did not, And I like that. I would eat
my own cow. I would. It is. It is odd though,
the people I have. My wife has some friends she
works with and they live out like the farmland, and
they've got like chickens and stuff and different animals, and
you know they need some meat. They'll just take the
thing behind the house and chop chop, bang bang, and
(30:33):
then they got supper. So it's odd to me. You know,
when I want supper, I go to the store and
they have everything ready for me right there. It's all
in plastic and I just grab what I want and
I then I go home and cook it. That's my
that's my move. Absolutely. Alf the Alien Potter says, let's
hope that Kelsey doesn't suffer the same fate as Tom Segura,
who broke his arm playing basketball with Burt From Alf,
(30:58):
I guess that's a fun fact. All right. Well, anyway,
let's go back to the phones. It is a call
in show. We'll say hello to Mike the Leprecun. We
have asked Ben coming up. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.

Speaker 8 (31:37):
No, I'm up anyways, and my Leprechaun lodge is ninety
eight point done, and I'm getting my pool table on Saturday,

Think, Okay, I believe you. I believe you.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Okay, here's nothing that.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
When we're done with that, why not on a ticke
a break? When you're done with the Leprechaun lodge, what
are you going to do next? You got to move
on to something else.
Speaker 8 (32:01):
I have to finish off a couple of well decorations
and bedrooms and work. Anyway, I have a long rest.

My book has to be coming. I have to write
my book that's ongoing. Anyway. I wish I had a dog,
but not Doc Mike, because one time I went into
his office and the nurse gave me very bad news.
He said, Mike, you only have thirty seconds to live.
And then Doc Mike came in and said, oh give

for you or no if this is for all of us, Okay,
Freddie wants to know. Hi, Freddy, if you could switch
bodies with someone, who would it be?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Let see switched bodies with someone? Because I need a
time machine and I would like to go back, and
I want to be Babe Ruth with the Yankees playing
for the Yankees is what I would like to do.
I think that would be fun back in the day,
although they didn't actually have a lot of the modern stuff,
so I don't know that i'd love that, but that
would be kind of cool to be the bambino. What
about you, Lorraine?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Oh, you know I'm sexy enough. I'll say just how
I am.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Thank you very much, Lora. Look at that humble bragg
by LORRAINA cool elop.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
So there's an important like thing that I need to
know here. If it's if it's temporary or if it's permanent.
So well, if it's permanent, you just go to like
a toddler and then you just start over it. If
it's permanent, I'd probably choose like you know, prime, like
twenty something year old Lebron. Uh. If it's temporary, I'm
(35:52):
choosing Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Wow. There's a lot there. Cool. You want to share?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
You want?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (36:03):
I wonder what you would do for that time.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Period, Okay, a lot of you know, introspection. All right,
Femi would like to know.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Hi, Fami, I've met fa FAMMI made these great bumper stickers,
which is just wonderful.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
When was the last time you watched a movie or
a show or anything on DVD or VHS.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
He's probably around twenty fifteen, been eleven years or so
something along those lines. It's been at least a decade.
What about you?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Lareda how funny?
Speaker 6 (36:38):
A couple months back, I went to my friend's house
down in San Diego, and his friend, like his parents
don't do the whole big TV with the downloading stuff.
They had a full bookcase of DVDs to choose from,
and they're like, it's your Since you're here just for
the weekend, you get to pick up movie. And I'm
looking and I'm like, wow, it's like the Blockbuster of homes.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Well, they don't make do They don't make DVDs for
the movies today they have come out.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Right, No, no, no, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
So it's all they don't.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
It's just they don't make DVDs anymore.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I don't think so who's buying them?
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I think they do.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Who's buying them?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
What's the Let me look this up all we ask.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
There might be some countries that buy them, but not here.
I've not seen DVDs when I go to the store.
What about you? Cool?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I believe the last movie that I've watched was, uh,
it was The Dark Night on Blu ray. So I
don't know how long ago that was, but it's been
a while.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yeah. Well I remember my parents were being gone for
a while, but they had so many VHS, tapes and
DVD they love. They loved the hell out of that.
Speaker 6 (37:41):
They do still make them for popular releases.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Okay, probably not many. Next next ask man, your questions
are answer.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
This's next question is from ferg Dog High for dog.
He wants to know, will you still eat stuff from
your fridge if they're past the best date?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Yes. This is a big problem in the Malord mansion
because my wife will throw stuff away immediately. And I
always say, you gotta do the smell and the you
gotta do the smell and the eyeball test, because that's
just a guesstimation those expiration dates. Sometimes food expires before
the expiration date, and sometimes it's way after. She's gotta
like smell it and eyeball it. But she's immediately throwing
(38:24):
stuff away. What are you doing? You're wasting her money?
And so yeah, we argue about that. What about you rain.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
Yeah, I don't open my fridge very much, and if
it does have a passpoint expiration date, I'm not touching it,
even like milk. I'm like, I'm not if it says
best Buy, like, no, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
I'm going to open it.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I'll eat stuff way after it just smell it. If
it smells bad, if you see mold on it, obviously
don't eat it. I did eat. Oh this is bad though.
Oh yeah, I should tell I should get us on
the podcast. But we had some Hawaiian rolls that were
laying around, you know, and they looked fine through the
little plastic thing, and so I grabbed one and ate
it and there was covered in molding. Oh.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
I don't know about you, guys.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
My dad used to keep like blocks of cheddar cheese
in the fridge and as they molded, he would just
continually cut the mold off and serve us the cheese underneath.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
There are some foods that you can do that with,
and then there's others that you can't because like the
the mold will go through the whole thing or it
sticks to it. You have to like look it up.
But I'm like you, Ben, I will you just gotta
you gotta smell, you gotta look at it and make
the determination from there because it you know, like you
buy the oor wheat loaves of bread those last way
(39:36):
past the date that they.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Have on there. Yeah, exactly. And there's ways you can
bring food back. Put it in the microwave for a
little bit, or air fry or whatever, it'll come back
to life. Yeah, kind of got on the bats. What's next?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Lady Sideburns would like to know my favorite lady, Lady Sideburns,
have you ever been violently bitten by an animal that
did not belong to you.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Like a dog or something like that. I did get
bitten by dog, but it wasn't like violin, so I
didn't really count when I was a kid. What about you,
lareda Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (40:06):
There's this one dog when I was at a campground
and he had three legs, and I thought he'd be
the one I should go pet because I don't wan
pet him because they only got three legs. I went
up to go pet him and they tried to bite
me and I never tried to pet another dog again.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
That's not a nice dog. What about you, Coop.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
I have been bitten by a snake, but that's that's
about it.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Oh that seems kind of like what kind of snake?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
It was an acting snake. It was on during during
a movie shoot.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Oh wow, got a good lawsuit on
