lame jokes, all the best one liners, and the roast Master.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
We used to have Skip the Zip that was the roastmaster,

Speaker 1 (02:53):
So now we have everyone's favorite clown from Miami who
goes by the moniker, weed Man Hippie. So he'll call

Speaker 1 (03:05):
But our lead this hour, you know you needed, you
know you want it. You want your daily dose. We're
gonna give you your daily dose.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And now it's what that is?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So our lead this hour is from the Bella Checkian
Drama Rama, your obligatory daily Mallard monologue update on the
North Carolina football coach as Bill Belichick in Chapel Hill,
North Carolina. The book tour continues to motor on. Among
(03:34):
the latest developments, we pay attention, so you don't have to.
On Bill Belichick's appearance, he did an interview with doctor
David Chow, who's a very good interview Doctor Chow. I
think I had him on my podcast. Either I did
or I was supposed to have him on the podcast.
(03:56):
I think I had him on. I don't remember. We
had a lot of people on. I think I had him.
I know, Alf will go back and check. But the
Fifth Hour podcast, which will be coming up later today,
I'm pretty sure I had him at some point on
the pod.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Anyway. The former Charger team doctor was asked.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He did it with Belichick, and he asked Belichick now
he asked, but Belichick was asked not about Jordaan Hudson,
but instead this old story about Pam Anderson, who last
was a total like Babe Magnet, like early two thousands,
early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I think maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Anyway, So that took place, and Belichick answered the question. Fine, whatever,
But after the awkward Sibiez interview in which Jordaan Jordan
interrupted to say Bill Belichick would not speak about how
they met Belichick, it appears it's just barred the question.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm not going there.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
We're not talking about that now later today, later today today,
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Is gonna sit down with New York Giant.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Hall of Famer turned talking head smile chuckle, daytime pretty
boy guy Michael Strahan on Good Morning America.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So that'll be later this morning.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
We anticipate that'll be softball city. We think that'll be
extra fluffy, and they'll tell some old stories.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
About going against each other, and Belichick.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Will make a joke about how he couldn't beat the
Giants in those two Super Bowls with Michael Strahan and
go to the whole thing. But if you didn't hear
the other news, though, I think the other news is
more interesting.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And maybe you missed it.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
We have also learned that the Bill Belichick book is
not a dud. In fact, what if I told you
that it is a success. Is it true that Bill
Belichick's book The Art of Winning Lessons from a Life
(06:01):
in Football debuted.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
At number five, number.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Five on the New York Times Best Seller List. I'm
told that's still important. I'm told that's still a big deal.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
The book just came out back on May sixth, As
we're doing the show in real time, it has been
out for ten days, so book's been out for ten
days and is already a New York Times bestseller.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And let us discuss the question what if any? What
if any is the.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Lesson from Bill Belichick's book being a New York Times bestseller.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So I have WC.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Fields, Sweet Baby, Rays, and food Chain and we will
combine all of these things together and we are gonna
make a delicious birthday cake with extra frosting on it.
And the key to a cake is the frosting. And
if somebody says it's notting, that's a bad person. They
(07:02):
don't understand cake, and they don't understand the cake the
frosting ratio. So my first thought on this Bill Belichick
having a best selling book, after everything that's gone on here,
this is a bleeping master class on marketing. Okay, master
class on marketing. Bill Belichick wrote, from most accounts, a
(07:23):
rather generic, blah self help book. You know what, the
self help books are out there a ton. You know
how many people read self help books? A lot of people,
but a lot of them do not get read either
because people are there's too many of them.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
The art of winning and Belichick, who stirred up a
absolute hornet's nest in our world a hornets nest of
controversy with the viral.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Romance old man, young woman, a woman young enough to
be his granddaughter, some would say his great granddaughter.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Depending on when he started having kids.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
But tremendous strategic timing by Bill Belichick and taking advantage
of the public's fascination with tabloid.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Covers as a DJ back in the day. But we
are continuing our in depth team covers and is it true?
Is it true that a Bill Belichick Malard monologue was
interrupted by gremlins? But not not let the record show,
not gremlins that attack the mobile studio of the Ben
(08:31):
Mahler Show. No, no, no, the mothership taken down by gremlins. Now,
the question is what were those of the giant sized
cockroaches that made their way into the room that has
all the satellite hookups and all that craft. I don't know.
I'm sure there will be a full Mallor show investigation
(08:52):
to get to the bottom of it. But let me
just point out for the records that the broadcast line
from the remote studio that we use is one hundred
percent good. This is at the Mothership. It it's gone down.
But I was rudely interrupted, and you know, I put
these notes together for these stupid Malard monologue, and I'm
gonna do the malord monologue. I'm gonna do it. We're
(09:13):
gonna do the mal monologue. And that's the way it's
gonna be. So the I asked the question, I don't
know how much of this you heard. I have no idea.
I just kept talking. And there's nothing better than when
you're talking and you get a text after you've been
doing a monologue and and you're not on the air,
you know something like that. You know, well, I don't
know what am I doing anyway. So the question I
(09:35):
asked to you was, what is the lesson from Bill
Belichick's book being the New York Times bestseller and all that?
I pointed out it was like a masterclass, right, It
was not a word I used, a masterclass because of
the tabloid stuff and my favorite part of the story,
it's a New York Times bestseller, Belichick's book, and how
(09:55):
many people are buying this book thinking they are gonna
yet Bill Belichick to give salacious details about his tawdry
behavior and all that. And there's a great quote one
of my favorite people to quote all time. There's this guy,
early Hollywood guy named W. C. Fields. He was a comedian.
(10:18):
He's like one of the early actors in Hollywood, and
there's actually a street named after him near Universal Studios
in Hollywood, which is, you know, he's been dead for
a long time. But this quote applies to the Bill
Belichick book story, because what has happened here is Belichick
going around with Jordaan Hudson and all that and the ligne.
(10:38):
You can fool some of the people some of the time,
and that's enough to make a decent living. So by
going around this whole big tabloid story about Bill Belichick,
this that and the other thing with Jordan Hudson and
idiots like me who have been promoting this and going
on and on, well it ends up Belichick who is
with a major publisher, a massive publisher, and he ends
(11:02):
up getting a New York Times bestseller. So it all
works out. Now, the second thing that I was going
to rant about, and you listen to our live in
depth team coverage, I think it sounds great. I think
it sounds f and brilliant, is what I think. So
I wanted to mention it. And we're gonna talk about
this earlier and I was interrupted. So in Boston, I'm
looking around at baseball. It's still the feeling out process.
(11:25):
You normally wait until the end of May to kind
of figure out who's good and who's bad and all that.
So we're still in that part of the schedule. We're
not quite there yet. And there's an interesting story developing
in Boston as one of the big free agent pickups
(11:45):
a couple of years ago, one of the big free
agent pickups has been not only a baseball player, has
been absolutely horrible. And I wanted to discuss that. Is
there any advice that we have, any advice that we
have we are baseball people, any advice on how the
Red Sox should handle the struggles of Trevor's story. Who's
(12:08):
a not only is he a shortstop, he's horrible. He's
absolutely horrible this season. In terms of players that got
the big contracts over the last couple of years, Trevor
Story is near the very bottom in every possible category.
He actually played alright for like a week or two
to begin the year, but a seasoned veteran Trevor Story
(12:30):
at this point is unplayable. He's so bad it should
be a short story is what it should be. Now,
what is my evidence on that? Trevor Story is batting
since what is it April twenty second, So that's almost
twenty games. He's batting one fifteen and his ops that's
(12:52):
on base plus lugging is three point thirty two. Now again,
I just do the Overnight Show here and gremlins attack
the mothership. However, I don't think that's particularly the good.
I'm pretty sure that's not what you're looking for. And
to make matters even worse, the defensive prowess and Trevor
(13:13):
Story was thought of as one of the better defensive players.
He's had a bunch of injuries, and according to the
nerd stats, Trevor Story's defensive range has gone down, down, down, down,
down down down down down down down down down down down.
Now the nerds say that he is trending towards the
worst defensive season he's had. He's been in the major
(13:35):
leagues for ten years, so he's a fully vested veteran
in the Major League Baseball pension program. And he's not
a bad on offense, he's bad on defense. But wait,
there's more. Now, the reason I'm bringing all this up,
not that I just want to sit there and talk
about Trevor Story. He's signed a one hundred and forty
million dollar contract before the twenty twenty two season, and
(13:58):
he's under contract at least until the end of twenty
twenty seven. And he said, well, it's still a couple
of years away, and the Red Sox will decide they
have a club option and all that stuff, but he's
guaranteed Trevor Story, who at this moment, we do the
show today and Trevor Trevor Story can't play, and so
he's all but guaranteed to exercise that player option for
(14:20):
twenty twenty six. Now, my recommendation is one thing people
in baseball need is my recommendation on The Ben Mather Show,
the show that must go on no matter what happens.
So my recommendation is to get a gallon of sweet
Baby raised barbecue sauce. And the reason the Red Sox
should get a gallon of sweet Baby raised barbecue sauce
(14:43):
is because there is zero choice, zero choice but to
designate Trevor Story for assignment, which is a politically correct,
polite way to say you're fired, right, And the barbecue
sauce will come in handy for the Red Sox. And
here's why, because when they have to eat more than
fifty million dollars remaining on his contract, they can pour
(15:06):
that barbecue sauce all over it, and they can chop
it up into little bite sized pieces and all that.
And from what I've been reading, the Red Sox have
another can't miss minor league player, a prospect who was
a suspect until proven otherwise, Marcello Meyer who's in Triple
A and supposedly tearing the cover off the baseball. He's
(15:27):
a shortstop, so they could put him out there. Why not?
And my final thought, my final thought on this as
so we await the gremlins to stop attacking the Mothership,
not my remote studio, the Mothership, but the Rockets, the
Roquets who were exterminated, eliminated from the postseason by the
(15:50):
Golden State Warris. The Rockets are said to be open
to trading the star of their playoff run, Alfred Shengon
a deal for buck Star Giannis a Dent Tokuombo. Believe
it or not. Believe it or not, these Rockets are
said to be open to trading Alfred Shengoon in a
(16:11):
trade for Gyiannis and dent to Koombo. So I am
a follower of the doctrine on this. It makes sense.
You would have to be a country pumpkin not to
sign off on that deal. Now you're gonna throw in
a bunch of scratching tickets if your Houston, but you
would have to be the village idiot for that to man.
(16:33):
If you look at the food chain in the NBA,
Yannis is still a top ten player. He's still a
top five player in the NBA. And Alfred Schnjun well,
he was good and we were impressed, and we had
a lot of Insta trivia, a lot of who had
my games on Alfred Shgoon. He is a middling on
(16:53):
the border between star player and upper second tier, Like
is he a star? Is he a superstar? He's certainly
not anywhere close to the zip code the zip code
that Yannis a dent to Koombo finds himself in. But
he is twenty two, so he's got that going for
(17:14):
him and the amount of drafticks. This is not going
to be a Luca Hukah Luca let's give this player
away situation. So he's still trying to write his story
right his resume and certainly not box office. Not box office. Now.
On the other hand, Jannis again to Kombo, is all
(17:36):
that and a jumbo size fry. All that and a
jumbo size fry. He's a risk worth taking. At the
risk is he's right at the midway point there is
in his early thirties. So how much longer is he
going to be a top five player in the NBA?
Are you okay with him as a top ten player,
(17:57):
then a top fifteen player, then he's a top twenty player.
And Yannis's resume is also going to suck the oxygen
out of the rooms. Any fragility with the Rockets locker room.
You know how this still works, the mental part of it.
It's going to be ugly, and Alfred Schenghun would be
just one of the building blocks going back to Milwaukee
(18:21):
in that trade. It is the Ben Maler Show. As
they say in show business, the show must go on
as we await the broadcast line to pick up, and
then we'll get back to the normal.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Sound that you've come to know and loves on the
overnight show, and we will take calls. Yeah, we'll take
some cut here if you would like to be Part

Absolute Marconi Award for that. We're gonna have lame jokes
for the week coming up later this hour as well.
Some would say this is a joke right now too,
(19:18):
not a funny one. Not a funny joke that'll be
coming up time now for the Mallor Riddle of the day,
the Mallord riddle of that. Yeah, well it is. It
is funny. Yeah, there you go. All right, here's the
Mallord Riddle of the day. So the basketball owner named
(19:40):
Dan Gilbert, the Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. He had a
five hundred thousand dollars investment in Blank, but it backfired
as the Cavaliers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Again.
The owner Dan Gilbert five hundred dollars thousand dollars investment
(20:02):
in Blank that backfired as the Cavaliers were eliminated from
the NBA playoffs. That is the Mallar riddle of the day.
The answer, We'll get to it and we will do
it next.

sports radio act accordingly, and now back to the to
the talk. All right, back to we go, and a
time now for the Mallord riddle of the day. Here's
(21:35):
the Mallard riddle of the day. The Cavaliers owner Dan
Gilbert five hundred thousand dollars investment this cat made it
backfired because the Calves were eliminated in the NBA plus.
But Dan Gilbert's five hundred thousand dollars investment in blank
backfired because the Calves were eliminated from the postseason. That
(21:58):
is the Mallord riddle of the day. And what is
the answer? Ferg Dog says, Mega man for the Nintendo
Entertainment System, which I was playing during that Mallard monologue.
He says, all right, what else do we have? King
Roy says, cleaning Charlie's bathroom? Oh man, that's a tough job.
(22:19):
Far out Dave in the Bay Areas going with the
Booger building competition. Stevie Meatball says, a five hundred thousand
dollars investment in a Cleveland Loser stew restaurant. Will that
be where you're eating at Stevie Meatballs when you're in Cleveland?
Gin Su Knives guessed by DJ spin At Sir Patrick
(22:42):
late night drug tester said sugar freeze, cinnamon toast crunch cereal.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Is the answer.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Alf the alien ol Pier says he had a failed
investment in Bob's Big Boy. Wow, that's a great photo.
All these old gotta be AI. But all these old
Bob Big Boy statues? Who else do we have a
half million dollars in red solo cups for the championship party?
(23:09):
So he says mister irrigation again, saying invested in Don
Lemon's television career.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
According to mister irrigation.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Ike in Roseville, Minnesota says the Calves owner invested in
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame hoodies is the answer,
Fat Daddy right since says a five hundred thousand dollars
investment in Dick and Dayton's banned World tour hookers and
cocaine from Johnny Q.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I think that's what he meant.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Brian says Sacramento Sacramento Athletics pitching Chris Brian, as you know,
they're not the Sacramento Athletics. They're so embarrassed they're in Sacramento.
They're just the athletics.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
One of the.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Dumbest things in my life is that the local political
hacks and Sacramento, which are terrible, allowed that that Major
League Baseball signed off on that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Like, what are you doing? How stupid? Are you? Seriously?
All right? What else do we have? Page down? I
can't read that? All right? Lorena? Do you have an answer? Lorraina.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's the Mallord riddle of the day, The Mallord riddle
of the day. As the owner Dan gilbert five hundred
thousand dollars investment in blank backfired as the Cavs were
eliminated from the NBA playoffs, that's the riddle.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
What's the answer? Yeah, his investment in Charlie's commodes. Charlie's commodes?
Is that the answer? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
We are told that the Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert
spent five hundred thousand dollars investing in fake snow machine
planning a confetti celebration. So they install these snow machines
to use for a cavalanche when the team goes on
(25:05):
a scoring run. They use them in the postseason one time,
one five hundred thousand dollars for one use.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Of the snow machines. So if anybody wants a snow machine,
you can get one. Now. I don't feel bad for
Dan Gilbert.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And the reason I don't feel bad for Dan Gilbert
is because Dan Gilbert has the kind of fu money
where he can flush away five hundred thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
He is worth twenty three billion, Dan Gilbert. So when
you're worth twenty three billion, eh, you know your financial
mogul and all that stuff, you can get rid of me.
He's the eighty eighth richest person in the world. Number
eighty eight, number eighty eight. Anyway, it is the Ben
Valley eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Oh there you go, right there, absolutely absolutely all right,
very nice. Sledgehammer says, Ham Radio made a glorious splashy
return to the Ben Malor Show here.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
That's right. We do a little Ham Radio tribute to
my old man, my Pops, who's on the other side.
There was a tribute to my dad.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Kelly in des Mooin. Hello, Kelly, welcome.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Hi'm Ben.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
What's good.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Well, we're doing a talk show and I'm talking and
then yeah more, and then I'll talk again, and then
I'll then I'll stop talking and then I'll do the
podcast and I'll start talking again.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
And yeah, all right, I got I got two things, okay.
Number one, Okay, what's the more annoying dad story, the
Caleb Williams or the Halliburton dad.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, they're both annoying. I'm gonna go go under the head.
I will take Caleb Williams dad under the head.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah okay.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
And then also, we're having a couple of dispute on
something as we are both Sonics fans at heart.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Now you have to announce the whole I say, you
have to announce that we this is the one of
the great power couples.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
They met because of our friend. You've got, yes, you've.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Got the reason we are together.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yes see that Larna, we're spreading love. The Ben Mahler
Show is spreading love here? Well we do here, Ben.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
So Kelly who used to be Donut Kelly in another
life she was Donut Kelly in Nashville, and Shanon de
Moine and they're together, and so there's a there's a dispute,
and what better way to figure out the answer to
dispute than calling the shows? So, okay, what's the disco?
Speaker 6 (27:34):
So we were both Sonics fans at heart, and I
became an Okay Sea fan when they moved, but he
just let go of basketball completely and didn't support Okay see.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, So the debate is that who's right. You're right,
he's right.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Is that the correct?
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Like, is it okay that I became an Okay Sea
fan because I considered them the Sonics or he was like, no,
they stole the Sonics were done.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, so I would lean more towards his side, Shannon
Moye because.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
When when But it's just it's a little different because
you didn't live in Neither one of you live in
Seattle anymore.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
I I mean I did when, I mean until I
was eighteen.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
But yeah, ok yeah, but like the.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Team, when you live in a different city, it's it's
a little bit of a different animal. But when teams
that I like have, like the only one that really
left was the Rams, I was a Ram fan, and
then when they went to Saint Louis, I stopped.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I didn't watch the Rams. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I mean I watched them occasionally, but I didn't care
whether they want or not.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
They weren't the team.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
See.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
My thing is that when they went to Okay see
it was still all the same players that I was
fans of, Like Durant was there, you know, it was
those were my players.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It's not Seattle's team, though.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I did see a story I actually thought of Shane
in the morning, and I guess indirectly you there's a
in Seattle right near the arena there.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
There's a.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Used to be called Is that what we're talking about?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yes, yeah, well yeah, Climate Pledge Arena or whatever. Yeah, yeah,
there's a there's a like a warehouse. There's twenty warehouse
shelves with five thousand pieces of memorabilia from the Seattle
SuperSonics that they left behind in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
And yeah, it's got like it's got everything.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
There's a there's only three items on I was reading
these stories on the Front Office Sports at the story
they the seventy nine Larry O'Brien trophy and a pair
of size twenty practice shoes and a pennant and everything
else though is kind of everything else is kind of hidden,
hidden away, But the five thousand pieces.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Of memorabilea just sitting there.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And at some point if the Sonics come back, you well.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
It's gonna amazing basketball city. Like we love the Sonics,
Like my dad has season tickets growing up, Like I mean,
that's like it's yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, yeah, I think in the next five or six
years there'll be at least an announcement that the Sonics
will be coming back.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
And then, well, I mean you were talking about the
whole you know, with Phill Night and the Blazers and stuff,
and I was kind of wondering if somehow, you know,
they just moved to Seattle. But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, that's possible if Phil Knight says he's not going
to buy the team.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
At least that's what he's saying. Now, we'll see if
he changes his mind. He is eighty seven. When you
get to eighty seven, you got other priorities when you're
eighty seven. All right, I gotta go. Okay, thank you, Kelly.
All right, there you go. There's Kelly from Des Moines.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
When the team leaves, it's like, eh, and they changed
their name.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Like, if you're in Montreal listening to us, are you
still an Expos fan?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
They're not the Expos anymore. The Washington Nationals. It's all
about the natitude and all that. It's about the natitude.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, So Michael Parsons quickly, quick right. Mike Parsons was
asked about a rumor that the deal has already been
signed between him and the Cowboys. It's been agreed to,
it's not signed, but it's been mostly finalized, and that
the Cowboys are just waiting until training camp to make
the announcement.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
They want the most bang for their buck.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
And he said, quote, I'm quoting him, no deal, no, Kizzie,
is what he said.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
That's a quote. I don't know what that means. I
probably shouldn't have said it, but that's okay. That's Michaeh. Parsons.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
He responded to the report claiming the deal's already done.
Of course, wouldn't you not confirm it even if it
was done, if you're told not to announce it until
September or whatever, wouldn't you just play along and say, oh,
it's not done.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
No, no, no deal.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That's the first rule of fight club and the first
rule of doing business with Jerry Jones. Lame jokes of

But our lead this hour, you know you needed, you
know you want it. You want your daily dose. We're
gonna give you your daily dose.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And now it's what that is?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So our lead this hour is from the Bella Checkian
Drama Rama, your obligatory daily Mallard monologue update on the
North Carolina football coach as Bill Belichick in Chapel Hill,
North Carolina. The book tour continues to motor on. Among
(03:34):
the latest developments, we pay attention, so you don't have to.
On Bill Belichick's appearance, he did an interview with doctor
David Chow, who's a very good interview Doctor Chow. I
think I had him on my podcast. Either I did
or I was supposed to have him on the podcast.
(03:56):
I think I had him on. I don't remember. We
had a lot of people on. I think I had him.
I know, Alf will go back and check. But the
Fifth Hour podcast, which will be coming up later today,
I'm pretty sure I had him at some point on
the pod.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Anyway. The former Charger team doctor was asked.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He did it with Belichick, and he asked Belichick now
he asked, but Belichick was asked not about Jordaan Hudson,
but instead this old story about Pam Anderson, who last
was a total like Babe Magnet, like early two thousands,
early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I think maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Anyway, So that took place, and Belichick answered the question. Fine, whatever,
But after the awkward Sibiez interview in which Jordaan Jordan
interrupted to say Bill Belichick would not speak about how
they met Belichick, it appears it's just barred the question.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm not going there.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
We're not talking about that now later today, later today today,
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Is gonna sit down with New York Giant.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Hall of Famer turned talking head smile chuckle, daytime pretty
boy guy Michael Strahan on Good Morning America.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So that'll be later this morning.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
We anticipate that'll be softball city. We think that'll be
extra fluffy, and they'll tell some old stories.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
About going against each other, and Belichick.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Will make a joke about how he couldn't beat the
Giants in those two Super Bowls with Michael Strahan and
go to the whole thing. But if you didn't hear
the other news, though, I think the other news is
more interesting.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And maybe you missed it.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
We have also learned that the Bill Belichick book is
not a dud. In fact, what if I told you
that it is a success. Is it true that Bill
Belichick's book The Art of Winning Lessons from a Life
(06:01):
in Football debuted.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
At number five, number.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Five on the New York Times Best Seller List. I'm
told that's still important. I'm told that's still a big deal.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
The book just came out back on May sixth, As
we're doing the show in real time, it has been
out for ten days, so book's been out for ten
days and is already a New York Times bestseller.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And let us discuss the question what if any? What
if any is the.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Lesson from Bill Belichick's book being a New York Times bestseller.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So I have WC.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Fields, Sweet Baby, Rays, and food Chain and we will
combine all of these things together and we are gonna
make a delicious birthday cake with extra frosting on it.
And the key to a cake is the frosting. And
if somebody says it's notting, that's a bad person. They
(07:02):
don't understand cake, and they don't understand the cake the
frosting ratio. So my first thought on this Bill Belichick
having a best selling book, after everything that's gone on here,
this is a bleeping master class on marketing. Okay, master
class on marketing. Bill Belichick wrote, from most accounts, a
(07:23):
rather generic, blah self help book. You know what, the
self help books are out there a ton. You know
how many people read self help books? A lot of people,
but a lot of them do not get read either
because people are there's too many of them.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
The art of winning and Belichick, who stirred up a
absolute hornet's nest in our world a hornets nest of
controversy with the viral.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Romance old man, young woman, a woman young enough to
be his granddaughter, some would say his great granddaughter.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Depending on when he started having kids.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
But tremendous strategic timing by Bill Belichick and taking advantage
of the public's fascination with tabloid.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Covers as a DJ back in the day. But we
are continuing our in depth team covers and is it true?
Is it true that a Bill Belichick Malard monologue was
interrupted by gremlins? But not not let the record show,
not gremlins that attack the mobile studio of the Ben
(08:31):
Mahler Show. No, no, no, the mothership taken down by gremlins. Now,
the question is what were those of the giant sized
cockroaches that made their way into the room that has
all the satellite hookups and all that craft. I don't know.
I'm sure there will be a full Mallor show investigation
(08:52):
to get to the bottom of it. But let me
just point out for the records that the broadcast line
from the remote studio that we use is one hundred
percent good. This is at the Mothership. It it's gone down.
But I was rudely interrupted, and you know, I put
these notes together for these stupid Malard monologue, and I'm
gonna do the malord monologue. I'm gonna do it. We're
(09:13):
gonna do the mal monologue. And that's the way it's
gonna be. So the I asked the question, I don't
know how much of this you heard. I have no idea.
I just kept talking. And there's nothing better than when
you're talking and you get a text after you've been
doing a monologue and and you're not on the air,
you know something like that. You know, well, I don't
know what am I doing anyway. So the question I
(09:35):
asked to you was, what is the lesson from Bill
Belichick's book being the New York Times bestseller and all that?
I pointed out it was like a masterclass, right, It
was not a word I used, a masterclass because of
the tabloid stuff and my favorite part of the story,
it's a New York Times bestseller, Belichick's book, and how
(09:55):
many people are buying this book thinking they are gonna
yet Bill Belichick to give salacious details about his tawdry
behavior and all that. And there's a great quote one
of my favorite people to quote all time. There's this guy,
early Hollywood guy named W. C. Fields. He was a comedian.
(10:18):
He's like one of the early actors in Hollywood, and
there's actually a street named after him near Universal Studios
in Hollywood, which is, you know, he's been dead for
a long time. But this quote applies to the Bill
Belichick book story, because what has happened here is Belichick
going around with Jordaan Hudson and all that and the ligne.
(10:38):
You can fool some of the people some of the time,
and that's enough to make a decent living. So by
going around this whole big tabloid story about Bill Belichick,
this that and the other thing with Jordan Hudson and
idiots like me who have been promoting this and going
on and on, well it ends up Belichick who is
with a major publisher, a massive publisher, and he ends
(11:02):
up getting a New York Times bestseller. So it all
works out. Now, the second thing that I was going
to rant about, and you listen to our live in
depth team coverage, I think it sounds great. I think
it sounds f and brilliant, is what I think. So
I wanted to mention it. And we're gonna talk about
this earlier and I was interrupted. So in Boston, I'm
looking around at baseball. It's still the feeling out process.
(11:25):
You normally wait until the end of May to kind
of figure out who's good and who's bad and all that.
So we're still in that part of the schedule. We're
not quite there yet. And there's an interesting story developing
in Boston as one of the big free agent pickups
(11:45):
a couple of years ago, one of the big free
agent pickups has been not only a baseball player, has
been absolutely horrible. And I wanted to discuss that. Is
there any advice that we have, any advice that we
have we are baseball people, any advice on how the
Red Sox should handle the struggles of Trevor's story. Who's
(12:08):
a not only is he a shortstop, he's horrible. He's
absolutely horrible this season. In terms of players that got
the big contracts over the last couple of years, Trevor
Story is near the very bottom in every possible category.
He actually played alright for like a week or two
to begin the year, but a seasoned veteran Trevor Story
(12:30):
at this point is unplayable. He's so bad it should
be a short story is what it should be. Now,
what is my evidence on that? Trevor Story is batting
since what is it April twenty second, So that's almost
twenty games. He's batting one fifteen and his ops that's
(12:52):
on base plus lugging is three point thirty two. Now again,
I just do the Overnight Show here and gremlins attack
the mothership. However, I don't think that's particularly the good.
I'm pretty sure that's not what you're looking for. And
to make matters even worse, the defensive prowess and Trevor
(13:13):
Story was thought of as one of the better defensive players.
He's had a bunch of injuries, and according to the
nerd stats, Trevor Story's defensive range has gone down, down, down, down,
down down down down down down down down down down down.
Now the nerds say that he is trending towards the
worst defensive season he's had. He's been in the major
(13:35):
leagues for ten years, so he's a fully vested veteran
in the Major League Baseball pension program. And he's not
a bad on offense, he's bad on defense. But wait,
there's more. Now, the reason I'm bringing all this up,
not that I just want to sit there and talk
about Trevor Story. He's signed a one hundred and forty
million dollar contract before the twenty twenty two season, and
(13:58):
he's under contract at least until the end of twenty
twenty seven. And he said, well, it's still a couple
of years away, and the Red Sox will decide they
have a club option and all that stuff, but he's
guaranteed Trevor Story, who at this moment, we do the
show today and Trevor Trevor Story can't play, and so
he's all but guaranteed to exercise that player option for
(14:20):
twenty twenty six. Now, my recommendation is one thing people
in baseball need is my recommendation on The Ben Mather Show,
the show that must go on no matter what happens.
So my recommendation is to get a gallon of sweet
Baby raised barbecue sauce. And the reason the Red Sox
should get a gallon of sweet Baby raised barbecue sauce
(14:43):
is because there is zero choice, zero choice but to
designate Trevor Story for assignment, which is a politically correct,
polite way to say you're fired, right, And the barbecue
sauce will come in handy for the Red Sox. And
here's why, because when they have to eat more than
fifty million dollars remaining on his contract, they can pour
(15:06):
that barbecue sauce all over it, and they can chop
it up into little bite sized pieces and all that.
And from what I've been reading, the Red Sox have
another can't miss minor league player, a prospect who was
a suspect until proven otherwise, Marcello Meyer who's in Triple
A and supposedly tearing the cover off the baseball. He's
(15:27):
a shortstop, so they could put him out there. Why not?
And my final thought, my final thought on this as
so we await the gremlins to stop attacking the Mothership,
not my remote studio, the Mothership, but the Rockets, the
Roquets who were exterminated, eliminated from the postseason by the
(15:50):
Golden State Warris. The Rockets are said to be open
to trading the star of their playoff run, Alfred Shengon
a deal for buck Star Giannis a Dent Tokuombo. Believe
it or not. Believe it or not, these Rockets are
said to be open to trading Alfred Shengoon in a
(16:11):
trade for Gyiannis and dent to Koombo. So I am
a follower of the doctrine on this. It makes sense.
You would have to be a country pumpkin not to
sign off on that deal. Now you're gonna throw in
a bunch of scratching tickets if your Houston, but you
would have to be the village idiot for that to man.
(16:33):
If you look at the food chain in the NBA,
Yannis is still a top ten player. He's still a
top five player in the NBA. And Alfred Schnjun well,
he was good and we were impressed, and we had
a lot of Insta trivia, a lot of who had
my games on Alfred Shgoon. He is a middling on
(16:53):
the border between star player and upper second tier, Like
is he a star? Is he a superstar? He's certainly
not anywhere close to the zip code the zip code
that Yannis a dent to Koombo finds himself in. But
he is twenty two, so he's got that going for
(17:14):
him and the amount of drafticks. This is not going
to be a Luca Hukah Luca let's give this player
away situation. So he's still trying to write his story
right his resume and certainly not box office. Not box office. Now.
On the other hand, Jannis again to Kombo, is all
(17:36):
that and a jumbo size fry. All that and a
jumbo size fry. He's a risk worth taking. At the
risk is he's right at the midway point there is
in his early thirties. So how much longer is he
going to be a top five player in the NBA?
Are you okay with him as a top ten player,
(17:57):
then a top fifteen player, then he's a top twenty player.
And Yannis's resume is also going to suck the oxygen
out of the rooms. Any fragility with the Rockets locker room.
You know how this still works, the mental part of it.
It's going to be ugly, and Alfred Schenghun would be
just one of the building blocks going back to Milwaukee
(18:21):
in that trade. It is the Ben Maler Show. As
they say in show business, the show must go on
as we await the broadcast line to pick up, and
then we'll get back to the normal.

(19:18):
not a funny one. Not a funny joke that'll be
coming up time now for the Mallor Riddle of the day,
the Mallord riddle of that. Yeah, well it is. It
is funny. Yeah, there you go. All right, here's the
Mallord Riddle of the day. So the basketball owner named
(19:40):
Dan Gilbert, the Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. He had a
five hundred thousand dollars investment in Blank, but it backfired
as the Cavaliers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Again.
The owner Dan Gilbert five hundred dollars thousand dollars investment
(20:02):
in Blank that backfired as the Cavaliers were eliminated from
the NBA playoffs. That is the Mallar riddle of the day.
The answer, We'll get to it and we will do
it next.

sports radio act accordingly, and now back to the to
the talk. All right, back to we go, and a
time now for the Mallord riddle of the day. Here's
(21:35):
the Mallard riddle of the day. The Cavaliers owner Dan
Gilbert five hundred thousand dollars investment this cat made it
backfired because the Calves were eliminated in the NBA plus.
But Dan Gilbert's five hundred thousand dollars investment in blank
backfired because the Calves were eliminated from the postseason. That
(21:58):
is the Mallord riddle of the day. And what is
the answer? Ferg Dog says, Mega man for the Nintendo
Entertainment System, which I was playing during that Mallard monologue.
He says, all right, what else do we have? King
Roy says, cleaning Charlie's bathroom? Oh man, that's a tough job.
(22:19):
Far out Dave in the Bay Areas going with the
Booger building competition. Stevie Meatball says, a five hundred thousand
dollars investment in a Cleveland Loser stew restaurant. Will that
be where you're eating at Stevie Meatballs when you're in Cleveland?
Gin Su Knives guessed by DJ spin At Sir Patrick
(22:42):
late night drug tester said sugar freeze, cinnamon toast crunch cereal.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Is the answer.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Alf the alien ol Pier says he had a failed
investment in Bob's Big Boy. Wow, that's a great photo.
All these old gotta be AI. But all these old
Bob Big Boy statues? Who else do we have a
half million dollars in red solo cups for the championship party?
(23:09):
So he says mister irrigation again, saying invested in Don
Lemon's television career.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
According to mister irrigation.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Ike in Roseville, Minnesota says the Calves owner invested in
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame hoodies is the answer,
Fat Daddy right since says a five hundred thousand dollars
investment in Dick and Dayton's banned World tour hookers and
cocaine from Johnny Q.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I think that's what he meant.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Brian says Sacramento Sacramento Athletics pitching Chris Brian, as you know,
they're not the Sacramento Athletics. They're so embarrassed they're in Sacramento.
They're just the athletics.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
One of the.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Dumbest things in my life is that the local political
hacks and Sacramento, which are terrible, allowed that that Major
League Baseball signed off on that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Like, what are you doing? How stupid? Are you? Seriously?
All right? What else do we have? Page down? I
can't read that? All right? Lorena? Do you have an answer? Lorraina.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's the Mallord riddle of the day, The Mallord riddle
of the day. As the owner Dan gilbert five hundred
thousand dollars investment in blank backfired as the Cavs were
eliminated from the NBA playoffs, that's the riddle.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
What's the answer? Yeah, his investment in Charlie's commodes. Charlie's commodes?
Is that the answer? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
We are told that the Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert
spent five hundred thousand dollars investing in fake snow machine
planning a confetti celebration. So they install these snow machines
to use for a cavalanche when the team goes on
(25:05):
a scoring run. They use them in the postseason one time,
one five hundred thousand dollars for one use.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Of the snow machines. So if anybody wants a snow machine,
you can get one. Now. I don't feel bad for
Dan Gilbert.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And the reason I don't feel bad for Dan Gilbert
is because Dan Gilbert has the kind of fu money
where he can flush away five hundred thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
He is worth twenty three billion, Dan Gilbert. So when
you're worth twenty three billion, eh, you know your financial
mogul and all that stuff, you can get rid of me.
He's the eighty eighth richest person in the world. Number
eighty eight, number eighty eight. Anyway, it is the Ben
Valley eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Oh there you go, right there, absolutely absolutely all right,
very nice. Sledgehammer says, Ham Radio made a glorious splashy
return to the Ben Malor Show here.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
That's right. We do a little Ham Radio tribute to
my old man, my Pops, who's on the other side.
There was a tribute to my dad.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Kelly in des Mooin. Hello, Kelly, welcome.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Hi'm Ben.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
What's good.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Well, we're doing a talk show and I'm talking and
then yeah more, and then I'll talk again, and then
I'll then I'll stop talking and then I'll do the
podcast and I'll start talking again.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
And yeah, all right, I got I got two things, okay.
Number one, Okay, what's the more annoying dad story, the
Caleb Williams or the Halliburton dad.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, they're both annoying. I'm gonna go go under the head.
I will take Caleb Williams dad under the head.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah okay.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
And then also, we're having a couple of dispute on
something as we are both Sonics fans at heart.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Now you have to announce the whole I say, you
have to announce that we this is the one of
the great power couples.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
They met because of our friend. You've got, yes, you've.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Got the reason we are together.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yes see that Larna, we're spreading love. The Ben Mahler
Show is spreading love here? Well we do here, Ben.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
So Kelly who used to be Donut Kelly in another
life she was Donut Kelly in Nashville, and Shanon de
Moine and they're together, and so there's a there's a dispute,
and what better way to figure out the answer to
dispute than calling the shows? So, okay, what's the disco?
Speaker 6 (27:34):
So we were both Sonics fans at heart, and I
became an Okay Sea fan when they moved, but he
just let go of basketball completely and didn't support Okay see.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, So the debate is that who's right. You're right,
he's right.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Is that the correct?
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Like, is it okay that I became an Okay Sea
fan because I considered them the Sonics or he was like, no,
they stole the Sonics were done.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, so I would lean more towards his side, Shannon
Moye because.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
When when But it's just it's a little different because
you didn't live in Neither one of you live in
Seattle anymore.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
I I mean I did when, I mean until I
was eighteen.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
But yeah, ok yeah, but like the.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Team, when you live in a different city, it's it's
a little bit of a different animal. But when teams
that I like have, like the only one that really
left was the Rams, I was a Ram fan, and
then when they went to Saint Louis, I stopped.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I didn't watch the Rams. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I mean I watched them occasionally, but I didn't care
whether they want or not.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
They weren't the team.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
See.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
My thing is that when they went to Okay see
it was still all the same players that I was
fans of, Like Durant was there, you know, it was
those were my players.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It's not Seattle's team, though.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I did see a story I actually thought of Shane
in the morning, and I guess indirectly you there's a
in Seattle right near the arena there.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
There's a.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Used to be called Is that what we're talking about?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yes, yeah, well yeah, Climate Pledge Arena or whatever. Yeah, yeah,
there's a there's a like a warehouse. There's twenty warehouse
shelves with five thousand pieces of memorabilia from the Seattle
SuperSonics that they left behind in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
And yeah, it's got like it's got everything.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
There's a there's only three items on I was reading
these stories on the Front Office Sports at the story
they the seventy nine Larry O'Brien trophy and a pair
of size twenty practice shoes and a pennant and everything
else though is kind of everything else is kind of hidden,
hidden away, But the five thousand pieces.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Of memorabilea just sitting there.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And at some point if the Sonics come back, you well.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
It's gonna amazing basketball city. Like we love the Sonics,
Like my dad has season tickets growing up, Like I mean,
that's like it's yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, yeah, I think in the next five or six
years there'll be at least an announcement that the Sonics
will be coming back.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
And then, well, I mean you were talking about the
whole you know, with Phill Night and the Blazers and stuff,
and I was kind of wondering if somehow, you know,
they just moved to Seattle. But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, that's possible if Phil Knight says he's not going
to buy the team.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
At least that's what he's saying. Now, we'll see if
he changes his mind. He is eighty seven. When you
get to eighty seven, you got other priorities when you're
eighty seven. All right, I gotta go. Okay, thank you, Kelly.
All right, there you go. There's Kelly from Des Moines.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
When the team leaves, it's like, eh, and they changed
their name.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Like, if you're in Montreal listening to us, are you
still an Expos fan?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
They're not the Expos anymore. The Washington Nationals. It's all
about the natitude and all that. It's about the natitude.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, So Michael Parsons quickly, quick right. Mike Parsons was
asked about a rumor that the deal has already been
signed between him and the Cowboys. It's been agreed to,
it's not signed, but it's been mostly finalized, and that
the Cowboys are just waiting until training camp to make
the announcement.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
They want the most bang for their buck.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
And he said, quote, I'm quoting him, no deal, no, Kizzie,
is what he said.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
That's a quote. I don't know what that means. I
probably shouldn't have said it, but that's okay. That's Michaeh. Parsons.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
He responded to the report claiming the deal's already done.
Of course, wouldn't you not confirm it even if it
was done, if you're told not to announce it until
September or whatever, wouldn't you just play along and say, oh,
it's not done.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
No, no, no deal.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That's the first rule of fight club and the first
rule of doing business with Jerry Jones. Lame jokes of
