Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh maha, oh maha, omaha. It's our Naber four, our
four Betton Malers Show. Happy Thursday to you. It's the
twenty first day of August. And on this day, as
we get a day closer to the big Malard Meet
and greet this weekend in Vegas, can you explain why
coach Aaron Glenn's Jets have already held a secret players
(00:24):
only practice with only Aaron Glenn and the players allowed
to be there. We'll dig into that story. Also, we
talk about the NFL. We had a quarterback crying. Were
you emotional watching Tyson Bagent. It's the Chicago quarterback crying
after getting a Bears contract to back up Caleb Williams
(00:47):
in the Windy City. We'll talk about that. Also in
college football, our former Fox Sports radio host Stephen A.
Smith thinks that Alabama should dump Kaitlin de Boor and
bring in Dion Sanders, the coach at Alabama. How do
you digest this one? We'll go there as well. Right
now here, it is our number four. Have a great
(01:08):
day in unscheduled flight, well gome. In the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We are in the air everywhere townfolk, as occasionally we
hang out in the Dungeon coast to coast border, the
border and beyond on the mast and.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Enchantingly powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from the wonder
the nocturnal wonderland of sports fodder the Fox Sports Radio
studios as approved by Jason and Cansas City, and this
portion of the Ben Mathers Show on Fox made possible
(01:56):
in part by our friends at tire Rack. That's right.
I know Max is excited about that, and Rob the Goatman,
and Scrooge and Eugene in Chicago and mister Irrigation. They
all love ti iraq dot com because for over forty years,
ti iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and free,
(02:16):
backed by free road hazard protection with convenience installation options
like mobile tire installation. Tire iraq dot Com the Way
Tire Buying Show. So our lead this hour is from
pro football. We go to Jersey, the Jersey Boys. Now,
we learned recently here that the New York Jets, that's
(02:36):
a team that's going to suck this year. The Jets
held a secret practice, a secret practice Kloakin dagger practice
the other day without the media. There were no assistant
coaches there, they weren't present. That was the day after
they got their doors blown off by the Giants the
(02:57):
second preseason game. Now you didn't see this, perhaps not.
The only people in attendance were the players. That's right.
Not a game practice. Not a game practice. So the
only people there were the Jets players and Aaron Glenn,
the head coach. And that was it. Now, the story
was supposed to be on the down low. The d
(03:18):
L there the Jets. Once it was leaked, they started
freaking out and they're panicked, and so the Jets circle
the wagons. What do they do? The Jets claimed that
the practice was not really a practice. It was technically
a walkthrough. Now why did they do that? Why would
the Jets say it wasn't a practice, it was just
a walkthrough. Well, the reason they did that is because
(03:39):
they violated the NFL rules. The NFL rules say that
if you have a practice in training camp, you must
open it up to the media. They have to be there.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I don't know they have that rule.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Why did they have that role? You'd have to ask
the NFL. They said walkthroughs can be closed, so you
close the practice for the media can't get in there
on the walk through. Now, nonetheless, it was a team
gathering that was rather bizarre, oh so bizarre, because normally
you don't do that the day after a game. It's
(04:10):
it's just a practice football game. So let us discuss question.
Can you explain in layman's terms, why why coach Aaron
Glenn and the players there for the Jets held a
secret players only, We're gonna call it a practice, not
a walkthrough. A practice. So I've got jin emergency exit
(04:35):
row and shadow people and we'll combine all of these
things together and we are gonna make a PB and JAY.
That's what we're gonna make. So the kick off here,
Aaron Glenn, who hasn't yet even coached a regular season game,
is now doing some cosplay. He's doing a poor man's
(04:56):
version of Bill Parcells. He's doing performance art here, and
this is something that Parcels legendarily did back in his
coaching career. Of course, the difference is that the Parcels
had the aura, he had the reputation. He he was the
beg Tona, the beg Tuona. Now Aaron Glenn, who played
for Parcels with the Jets. This Tuna is generic brand
(05:21):
Tuona and until proven otherwise, it stinks. Now there's a
possibility that Aaron Glenn turns out to be a head coach.
That's pretty good. I'll check back when I see him
coach a few games and see how the team plays.
The head coach, though, holding a player's only practice prior
to week one, prior to week one, that is a
(05:43):
lot of things. It's not exactly awe inspiring. You're not
inspiring confidence, right. The thing was supposed to be a
speak easy type of ink behind closed doors. No one
would have ever known about it. There were no assistant coaches,
no media hopes, none of the people, just Aaron Glenn
Old School and the players and Justin Fields out there
(06:07):
running around is like the offensive coordinator and it's like
they were running a prohibition like gin joint. Everyone gets
some gin. They we're gonna make a lot of money,
and it's like inner murals or something like that. And
this was again I go back to the point. It
was supposed to be hush hush on the down low,
and the Jets supposedly wanted to keep this completely under wraps.
(06:29):
And how did the media find out? How did the
media find out? Was it some squirrely sports rider who spied.
Was it a radio guy in New York who had
inside of information? Was it some TV weasel that found out? No? No,
this is where it gets even better. Right. The whole
(06:50):
idea is to not let the outside world know that
the Jets are working through some kinks because they suck
and they know they blow, and that's why they're doing it.
Except oops, a daisy wide receiver. Garrett Wilson was talking
to a pretty girl who's on TikTok who's an influencer,
and all of a sudden, yeah, he has loose lips.
(07:13):
He has loose slips. Right, loose slips sink jets. Apparently
I thought they just think ships, but apparently they sink jets.
And so Wilson's out there violating the bubble of trust.
You're out of the bubble. You're out of the bubble
of trust. And the other thing that's great is they
haven't even played a game, right, I go back to that. Also,
they haven't even played a game. And we're not talking
(07:34):
about a team on a four game losing streak, because
that's the kind of stuff you follow the NFL over
the years. You're like, well, the team's lost a bunch
of games in a row, and they're gonna have some
special workout players only meetings, and I can go on
and on, I can do twenty minutes on players only meetings.
What a fraud those things are. And I won't do
(07:55):
that now. I'll wait till they start having players only meetings,
and then I'll do my normal shtick about what a
total joke that is. And so no wins, the Jets
have no losses. It's a zero sum game. And already
already they're going incognito, but not Richie incognito, the old
offensive lineman, to try to have a practice. It's a
(08:17):
little bit alarming. I have no skin in the game.
I'm not a Jets fan, but it's a little alarming
that the coach is out there and you know he's
doing this. You might be trying to test accountability, who's
the leader of this team, or trying to create artificially
leaders for the Jets. He's already pulling the Parcels card.
We're not even in September and you're going to the
(08:40):
Bill Parcells bag of tricks. You're showing your hand. I
would argue a little bit too early, a little bit
too early. The Jets have found a way, which is impressive.
Aaron Glenn hasn't even coached the real game and already
they look dysfunctional before they're even functional, Like they're not.
I mean, it's just Meanwhile, we go to Chicago where
(09:04):
Tyson beigent Man who you know, the backup quarterback, Tyson Beagent,
the backup for the Bears. He this week, just the
other day, broke down in tears water works during a
news conference. He signed a two year extension worth ten
million dollars, and he was very excited. He was very grateful,
(09:27):
a lot of gratitude from Tyson Beagent and well, it
took a turn to the wild side. And if you
want to hear it, let's go to the audio tape.
Take a listen. This is the Bears backup quarterback signing
a two year extension for ten million takes. You know,
a lot of people don't.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Know this, but you know, my dad is my uh
he's my right hand man, and he didn't running water
until he was in high school. So there's definitely a
lot of things that and people that I could that.
I think I could certainly help what this gift up
and blessed with. But yeah, just little things that you know,
I don't really know anybody back at home with any money.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So yeah, it feels good.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I mean, it's certainly a weight off my shoulders and
my family shoulders, and yeah, definitely means a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
All right, Well, some of you are not going to
like what I'm about to say, and I realize I
have an unpopular opinion. I realized that. So the question
on this one is were you emotional watching Tyson Bajit
be emotional crying after getting this Bears extension. And I'm
just going to tell you off the top, this was
(10:33):
not for me. I'm not into the lifetime movie stuff
and all that. I signed up plausibly for a little
bit of the football and the backup quarterback. When you
think about the backup quarterback in general, not just Tyson Bagent,
but in general, the backup quarterback is the equal to
the emergency exit row. You know, you get on a plane,
(10:55):
and I used to always love sitting in the emergency
exit row because you had or leg room. And then
they realized that that was the only seat where you
could actually stretch out other than first class, so they
start charging more for the emergency exit row. But the
emergency exit row is very important in theory, right, if
something goes wrong with the planet's very important. But it's
one of those things you hope you never have to use, right,
(11:17):
You never want to actually have to use the emergency
exit row. And the same thing with the quarterback. You're
there in case of a disaster, and even then the
coach doesn't really want to put you in there. And
so now he's got ten million dollars. Tyson bagent the
Bears backup. Congratulations, you do you right, mazle tap. Now
(11:38):
that being said, I would like to be clear that
Tyson Beagent is twenty five years old. He's already earned
one point seven million dollars, mostly not playing quarterback for
the Chicago Bears. So I've done some back of the
Napkin Mallard math here, and I realized that he's claiming,
(11:59):
well changes everything, it's game change. Where I come from,
he's already rich. Tyson Beagent was already rich prior to
signing this country. The average American salary is on averaging
based on the median salary, is sixty two thousand, like
the average American the highest paid, lowest paid. It's sixty
(12:22):
two thousand and eighty eight dollars a year. So I
crunched the numbers on this, and Tyson Beagent just based
on what he had already earned prior to this contract.
To be a backup quarterback, you and I would have
to work twenty eight years to earn what Tyson Beagent
had already made. Now on this new contract, I did
some more mal of math. The average American to get
(12:44):
to the ten million dollar mark that Tyson Beagent got here,
the average American would have to work twenty eight years.
Twenty eight. Actually, no, twenty eight was the one seven
hundred and sixty one. I can't remind writing one hundred
and sixty one years, one hundred and sixty one years
(13:06):
to get to the amount of money he just got.
So if you want what he'd already made, it was
twenty eight years and the one hundred and sixty one
years for Tyson Bajor. So good friend, and if you
can work one hundred and sixty one years, man, go
to science. Let's science know how you do it? All? Right?
Last thing, quickly we got college football and a listener
(13:30):
in the Great State of Alabama wanted my take on this.
I don't know why you want my take. So apparently
our former morning guy, our former Fox Sports radio morning
host years ago who did not get many ratings, step
and A. Smith, he ranted and raved. Apparently, according to Jim,
I'm not sure where in Alabama Gym's from. There's only
(13:51):
a few cities that have a lot of people there,
so I can guess like three cities. I'm guessing he's
from one of those. Anyway, he wanted to know my
thought on this. So apparently stephen A was going around
saying that Alabama should already get rid of Kaitlin de Boor,
the guy they hired last year, and he recommended who
do you think he recommended to coach Alabama? Who do
you think of? Yeah, that's right, Deon Sanders said Deon Sanders,
(14:13):
the Colorado coach, would be the ideal replacement. So how
do you digest that one? How do you digest that one?
So this is it's like playing tender for coaches like, well,
I'm going to swipe left on de Boor because he's
he's not a big name, you know, he just kind
of came out of nowhere and had some good years
(14:33):
at Washington and all that. So we'll get rid of him,
we'll swipe left on de Boor, and then we're gonna
swipe right on coach Prime because Coach Prime's got the razzle, dazzle,
erasmatas all that stuff. And I would bet you that
Stephen A could not name ten college football coaches if
(14:55):
you said his salary dependent on it. He couldn't do it.
Now even if you spotted him half the SEC coaches,
Like there's some big name Lane Kiffin, guys like that
Bill Belichick. Right, it's not in the SEC, but in
the ACC and you down, you know, there's a handful
of coaches that are pretty big. And the whole Dion thing,
(15:16):
he knows Dion because he played in the NFL and
is on TV. So but in general is hypothesis as garbage.
Like Alabama's problem and that was the college football season
starting this weekend with like the soft launch and all that.
But Alabama's problem last year was not because they were soft,
like that was the argument. They were soft and all
that stuff, Like Kaylen de Boor inherited a roster filled
(15:38):
with mostly Nick Saban leftovers, and the board didn't turn
them into a like a finesse operation. And the biggest
problem Kaylen de Boor has is he's not Nick Saban, right.
You don't want to be the guy who replaces the guy.
You want to be the guy who replaces the guy
who replaced the guy. And if you don't believe me,
(15:59):
you can ask Bill Guthridge. You probably don't know who
that is. He replaced this guy named Dean Smith at
North Carolina, or you can go chat with Ron Zuck.
There's a disaster. He was a Florida coach after Steve
Spurrier back back in the day. But it's the shadow people.
It's the shadow people. You don't want to walk in
the shadow of the legend unless you have a death wish. Now, financially,
(16:24):
Caylin de Boor is a made man. Good for him,
he's got fu money now because of Nick Saban and Alabama.
And as for like Dion San the coach, prime is
good for what I do. He's good for our business. However,
let us not pretend that Colorado is anything but a
middling middling team occasionally has a little bit of magic.
(16:46):
They're fun, they're fun, a little shaken Bay little boogie
woogie and all that stuff. And they'll beat good teams
unless they don't because they mostly lose the good teams,
and they'll beat bad teams every once in a while.
Be a good team. We don't have a big sample size.
Dean Sanders has coached Colorado for twenty five games. They're
(17:06):
thirteen and twelve, one game over five hundred, and they
won the Alamo Bowl. Actually they lost the album. They
even win it. They got to the Alamo Bowl and
they lost it. So Alabama is supposed to be steak
and mashed potatoes, not cotton candy and all that stuff.
And you know, the Tide is supposed to punch you
in the mouth and all that nonsense. And you know,
(17:28):
Dion Colorado, his teams have been fun, they haven't exactly
been the type of team that you would say is
physically dominating. So anyway, that's where I am. It's good
luck there, good luck there to Kalin de Boor in
year number two. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. As
(17:50):
we are working our way through the over night hours.

nine six three sixty nine if you'd like to be

quarterback that did not get the QB one status. We'll
get to that. We'll take your calls and we will
do it next.

He's calling a shot. But we don't want to do
(20:06):

You got to be unique.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Can we do it somewhere nice in southern California?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
That the place he recommends is not bad, It's fine.
What what are you talking about? What do you want

Speaker 3 (20:27):
No, like I mean, like like Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Go to that Cecil Hotel where that that body was
in the water thing on the roof over there.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Yes, Oh my gosh, I love that one, Lorena, what yeah, yeah,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Let's go to the skid Row Hotel where they you know,
you don't know that story coop, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Oh my gosh, it's a famous hotel.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It's a famous it's a famous. Well before that too,
there's a famous hotel in downtown Los Angelain skid Row
where people kept saying, like the water tasted kind of funky, right,
and they no, yeah, they couldn't figure out what they
couldn't figure out what was going on with the water,
Like they changed, they went through the pipes and all that.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
There's just a body decomposing in their water supply.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, somebody that girl fell in No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
For for months people were showering and yeah, brushing their brushing.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Their you know, made do I not know this story.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It's a famous, famous l A story. Yeah, famous l
A story. Did they change the name of that place?
I suppose they renovated, But I think the only people
there are really the homeless people are living there. A
lot of the hotels down there they just ran out
to the to the homeless people, like your tax dollars
at work, paying for them to stay down there.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
It's the Stay on Maine Hotel. Now, oh they changed
the name.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
There you go, Oh, no, that nobody, nobody will remember
that story. They changed the name. Yeah, well that it's
very similar, well not similar. But I when I went
to Boston, I was auditioning for one of the like
a radio job in Boston, and they they put me
up at this hotel kind of near Harvard. And this
guy Jerry Callahan, who was a big radio guy in
(22:16):
Boston at the time. And Jerry's like I told, he
asked me where I stayed. I stayed at this hotel
I don't know really much about. It's not a great hotel.
And Jerry lost his mind. He starts screaming at me.
That's like that was where the nine to eleven terrorist
had stayed the night before they went and committed that
horrible act, and he wow, Yeah, I didn't know, and
I wouldn't have known if he hadn't told me then,
(22:38):
and then I'd go back to the freaking hotel room
as I go, creeped out and all that. But anyway,
I guess if you knew what actually happened, most places
you go because there's stuff bat Stuff's probably happened everywhere.
All right, let's go back to the phones. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. Let's say
hello to Let's see here eny, meanie mine. Let's go
to Mike the Leprechau. Hello, Mike put him on whole earlier.

Yeah, I want to happen the golden tickets.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So for that, okay, and I want to hang up
on you. Can I do that?
Speaker 9 (24:40):
No, I have a Jinglee liberty, liberty, No.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Thank you. Yeah, we moved on from the jingle thing.
But but I thank you for that. We've advanced from
the jingle phase of the show. But thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
So eight minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, although people did enjoy our deep conversation on onion rings,
getting some positive onion ring feedback, Max said, great onion
ring discussion. Couldn't be more impressed with the overall analysis.
I've never gotten that message. Hey, a great discussion about
that NFL game. Could not be more impressed with the
overall analysis. But onion rings. Yeah, in fact, I have
(25:18):
an onion ring. Fun fact. You want an unring fun fact,
I got it. I got it for an unr ring
fun fact matter, fun fact. Didn't you know that McDonald's
McDonald's considered serving onion rings. They looked at him. They actually,
at one point some of the McDonald's tested onion rings
(25:39):
and they determined that it was not in their best
interest financially at McDonald's to serve onion rings. The reason,
the reason they make so much money on their French fries.
If they served onion rings, people would buy those, and
they wouldn't buy as many fries, and they wouldn't The
margin of profit the onion ring was not as high
(26:01):
as the margin of onion from the from the fry.
So they just need potatoes exactly. So they considered onion
rings and they determined that they don't. They would not
make enough money, and that's why they've they've not sold
onion rings. There you go, Patrick, DJ spin there in
San Diego, says Hey, Benjamin, if you ever decide to
do a meet and greet in San Diego, have a
(26:23):
great location in Ocean Beach. Yeah, send me an email. Patrick.
Speaker 10 (26:29):
That's why I was thinking, if we do a southern
California one, San Diego would be fun.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah, Sandy, I'd like San Diego.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
You approve of that? What about one here? Like this
guy mad Jack's losing his mind every time you say
you want to go somewhere else. Matt Jack's got a
venue that this old NFL kicker, his name still on
this restaurant, the Kickings and dahassess as a restaurant, and
and so it's out in San Dimas. There was a
(26:58):
movie about San Dimas years ago. Uh yeah, so there
you go. Uh all right, it is the Ben Mathers Show.
So I mentioned this story. Remember pac Man Jones better
known as Adam Jones he wants I mean, he changed
his name, but he's actually better know as pac Man,
but he changed his name to Adam Jones for a while. Uh.
He's really popular at the NBA All Star Game in Vegas,
(27:19):
really popular and I left a lasting mark at that
all seat. Anyway, pac Man Jones exploded a very upset
this week, very angry over of all things, the Cleveland
Browns quarterback situation. Say why Yeah. He went on a
(27:39):
rant that only a sailor would love, very upset, a
lot of bad words. He called for justice for Schudeur Sanders.
He wants justice for Shadur Sanders. I was like, well,
is there a is there an injustice because I don't
I don't see what the injustice is. But he was
(28:00):
very passionate that CHEDR. Sanders is getting the screw job
and that it's it's not right and it's terrible what
the Browns are doing. And I'm not there like the
Joe Flacco. Thing's funny to me is Flacco will play
two or three games. It will get hurt because he's
forty years old. And that's it. Ferg Dog says, Hey, Ben,
(28:21):
how about a Mallard meet and greet in Fullerton? You
can take the Amtrak. Fergduck says, Ferg Dog. Can we
do it at your house? Ferg Dog? Can we go
to your house?
Speaker 4 (28:30):
And?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Can we We'll just do the show from your your home. No.
Ryan in Main writes and says, I drive by that hotel.
By the hotel, he says, in Maine frequently where two
of the hijackers stay. Definitely creepy. Oh yeah, yeah, that's
it is. The creep factor is very high. I would
agree on that. So I almost use this one on
(28:51):
the Mallar Riddle of the Day. I chose not to
use it on the Mallar Riddle of the Day, but
I'm gonna use it right now. So a man was
able to do something for almost half an hour and
set a new world record. I saw this story the
other day. I thought, well, that's pretty that's pretty impressive.
I'm a little skeptical that he was actually able to
do it, though this Croatian free diver set a Guinness
(29:15):
World record by holding his breath underwater for almost thirty minutes. What, yeah,
it's impossible. The guy's aquaman. No, yeah, he set them
mark twenty. This Croatian guy twenty nine minutes and three seconds.
He held his breath in a three meter deep pool
(29:36):
of water. They had five judges, there were one hundred
people there. And if only Harry Houdini could have done that,
he'd still be alive today. Well he'd be dead.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
But that is so wild.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, the previous record, how about this? The previous record
was twenty four minutes and thirty seven seconds, which was
set by another Croatian. Let me tell you, the have
amazing lungs. They've got. What a superpower.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
When I was a universal on the studio tour, they
were talking about how some of the actors were able
to hold their breath underwater for long periods of time,
and the longest, they said was eight minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, I can hold my breath for a while. I can't.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I can't even do a minute.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
No, No, I can do more than a minute. No.
You got to get in a calm like the You
gotta get in like this calm zen state type. You
got to I'm not really a calm person, but you
gotta get kind of calm and mellow and just kind
of go with the flow, right, go with the flow
and all that stuff. How can you monetize that if
you can stand on what you'd be a great magician,
like underwater magician. Professional mermaid mermaid, but not mermaid merman.
(30:43):
We learned that when Eddie worked here. Eddie went into
the fountain across the street at the mall across the
street because he lost a bet and he stood in
the fountain and he said, I said he was a mermaid.
He said, no, no, no, a male murman. A mermaid
is a merman. That that's a different I did not
know that until I learned that from Eddie.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It's just mur people mermurman, pops.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I think Mermaid is the way to go. I like
Mermaid to me. I think Mermaid should be universal. That's
the way we should do it, and that's it. I'm
pro Mermaid. I support My name is Ben Maller, and
I support Mermaids. Why is there no team named the
Mermaids because it's a female thing, right that? Why?
Speaker 10 (31:26):
Oh my gosh, that makes perfect sense. But there is
basketball teams that are popping up. Maybe one of them
could be the Mermaids or the Sirens.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yeah, you want to get in trouble, Coop, But there's
a lot of You said something that if I repeated,
I'd get a call from my boss. No, I didn't
repeat it, said, I said, I did, really all right,
(31:58):
Well what else? Well the other thing I was gonna
say would even be worse than that, But I didn't
say that.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
That's okay, I'll take the blame for an ice cent it.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right. Yeah, I was just repeat. I was just
parroting what he told me. So it was my fault, Coople,
Loop's the fricking guy. He my fault anyway, all right,
it is the ben Macher. I need some judges. We're
gonna have fact or fiction factor fiction.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
So if you'd like our left actually oh really yeah,
lines are full of judges.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Okay, then I'm not giving out the numbers. Screw you.

Speaker 6 (35:26):
By mistake, I called the sports Tub time to talk
to you.
Speaker 9 (35:30):
They they were able to plug the Las Vegas Meet
and greet.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
They said, who wouldn't want to come meet Ben Mallard
at three pm in Las Vegas next.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
To the un l B camp stake out, fire and

Speaker 1 (35:40):
You know, well that's now, Scott. I do appreciate it.
And that's the like the top morning show in the
country that you went on. I mean, they don't mess
around over there. But could you call one of the
morning shows in Vegas where we're actually going to be.
Could you call them on theire John and Vegas figure
John and Vegas from the Sports Tub. Hopefully they'll be there.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
They got big time people are the gambling people.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
You know they can't. Okay, I know, but you know,
no one's you know, people listen Boston. They're not going
to get up and fly to Vegas for an overnight
show anyway, right, whatever, All right, these are the three stories.
Figure out which of the three is not true, separating
fiction from fact. Story number one. So earlier, Roy McElroy
(36:19):
was finally able to compete, or complete rather the career
Grand Slam. He won the twenty twenty five Masters. Now
earlier this week, he revealed to the media after winning,
he cleared out the remaining inventory of the flags from
Augusta National. He took home over one thousand flags. He
was so excited he won at the Masters. Unless we
(36:39):
made that up. Storry number two Mahomie Dynamic duo Patrick
Mahomes and Travis Kelsey have been one of the all
time great combinations on the field. Now they're looking to
replicate that success in the restaurant business. Next month, on
mahomes birthday, the Chief Star will become a restauranteur, opening
(37:00):
up fifteen eighty seven Prime, just eight miles northeast of Arrowhead, Staium.
I don't know how many miles away it is from
the landing. That's where the ben mal Chickens fingers are.
That to me, that's more important than the Arrowhead Stadium. Anyway,
they have they've given every menu item their personal stamp
of approval. I don't know about that one. That sounds
like bull crap to me. All Right, a story number
(37:23):
I just give the end. Story number three Logan Paul,
one of those annoying YouTubers. He got married to his
longtime girlfriend, supermodel Nina at Doll. Is that her name?
I don't know. Yeah, anyway, last week and the YouTuber
he became a boxer said it was the best weekend
of his life. It was a star studded affair that
(37:45):
even saw legendary boxer Evander Holyfield served as the couple's
officient at the wedding. Wow. All right, those are the
three stories. Let's see if we can figure out which
of the three is not true, separating fiction from fat
and we start out with thumbs up thumbs down Eddie
in Charlotte, Eddie. I'm gonna go with number one being
(38:07):
thank you for letting me on the show. All right,
next week I expect the thumbs up thumbs down game,
all right, thank you, Eddie. There you go, Eddie and Charlotte. Milkman,
Mike the Man of a Million voices, Milkman, Mike one
two or three, Milkman Umbrenumber. Is it good that you
(38:27):
know how to do the Leslie voice? Or is it
bad for Leslie that a middle aged man in Colorado
can sound just like Leslie? I don't know, all right,
she's not here anyway, we have Jed who fled from
the swamp land of Florida being chased by a gator.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Are you kindly gonna work a fifth day of the
week or are you gonna take a big number two?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
No? No, I am. I'm gonna do show a Mimi
in Vegas. Yeah, I will be doing the show, which means,
by the way, we need lame jokes. We need lame jokes.
We need that, all right, Jed? What's the you said?
Number two? Is that a number two?
Speaker 4 (39:00):
A right?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Brandon in Cansa City? Brandon, Well, Yahoo, Planed, You're wrong.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
I know it's not number two, because I know number
two is absolutely one hundred percent legit.
Speaker 9 (39:12):
So I'm gonna go number why number one?
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Number one?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
All right?
Speaker 9 (39:19):
Now?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Man? A man that should be arrested for harassing me
and Fred Toucher. That would be blind Scott, blind Scott
one two or three? Scott?
Speaker 6 (39:28):
Please, I think it's I'm trying to get the trash
out right now before the trash guy comes from ships
gutting down. The kids don't have time.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
It's it's not even six in the morning. The trash
people don't show up that early, dummy. Come on, No,
they don't know. What's the answer. I need the answer,
just hey that you're lying. You're lying, but go away.
(40:00):
Harassed some other radio persons, I know, all right, So
we don't We don't have time to run down on
the stories. The fake story though, did any I don't
think anyone got right? Oh? Really?
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Who which one was?
Speaker 4 (40:13):
It?
Speaker 7 (40:13):
Was?
Speaker 1 (40:13):
It? No milkman? Okay, he cheated the story? The fake
Storways number three, the logan Paul won that was fake.
The other stories are true. So where is that? A
couple of a couple of programming notes. I don't think
we promoted this. Have we not hold ourselves out enough
for this Vegas Meet and reap? My God, I will
be here. I know no one's aware of it. I'm
(40:36):
sure people are gonna send me messages. I didn't know
I would have shown up. I didn't know. You didn't
tell me about it. Shut up. But I will be
here tomorrow. I've been away the last couple of weeks.
On the Friday Show, we're we're doing it live. We'll
do it from Vegas, our affiliate in Vegas, so let's
see how that goes. But we do need some jokes,
so send the jokes in Big Ben's lame jokes. A
week is back tomorrow. That's excited. Yeah, ha ha
