hour we've all been waiting for talking about a schedule.
It's the fifteenth day of May. Happy Thursday to you,
and the NFL announced the matchups. We've known who's playing who,
just not when. So while we are lukewarm about the
(00:26):
impact of the schedule release event, what's your favorite part
of this choreographed shindig.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
For the NFL?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And are there any quirks in the NFL schedule that
raise your eyebrows? Will discuss that who benefits the most
from the schedule or release of anyone? And from a
gambling standpoint, what do you look for most in terms
of advantages, if any. We'll get to all that and
more right now. Have a wonderful Thursday here. It is
(00:54):
our number four. It's all about the day. It's all
about the dates.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
What dates? Who cares about that? What are you talking about?
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahlor Show. We are in the air aywhere at the
same time, Yeah, we are. We bring life to the
quiet hours and oh they are all so quiet, absolutely
(01:30):
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
vast and pioneeringly powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from
the mouth the big mouth of the radio dial from
the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by far Out
(01:54):
Dave far He's in Ohio, and he approves that message

Speaker 1 (02:00):
A good thing. That's a really really good thing. So
he says, all right, and.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
We're just beginning this hour number four of the Big Show.
As we are getting started later this hour, we are
going to have if you stay with us for a
full hour, a classic radio bit.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
In hour number four, we will.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Break it all down the magic of fact or fiction.
That'll be coming up a little bit later on in
the show. But we begin this hour not with the
pro bouncy Ball, not with the pro bouncy Ball, which
was the Boston Selly's winning last night without Jason Tatum.
(02:42):
They won by twenty five points over the New York Knickerbockers.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So the series will go to Friday night. We'll have that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And if you thought the Golden State Warriors would actually
win a game where Steph Curry didn't play the.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Entire game, you are a loser.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Is a loser because it turns out the Warriors did
not put up much of a fight and they have
been decommissioned from the postseason as Minnesota has advanced. To
Minnesota moving on to the Western Conference Finals for the
second consecutive year, the team that was the definition of
(03:22):
bad to the bone, bad bad, bad to the bone,
but now they are into the Final four of the NBA.

as well. So our lead this hour get to the point. Please.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
We're going to start out in the app store, the
calendar app on your phone.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The yeah, well you tell you about that on my phone?
Uh well, let me explain. So it's a day that
so many people.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Get all fired up about. We Oh, it's so exciting.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
For me.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Eh. It's all about the made for TV spectacle.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It was NFL schedule Day, Raw Rah so exciting.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, So that that was last night.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
While the basketball and if you're into the hockey playoffs,
all that stuff was going on, Well that was going on,
you had the always exciting, always exciting NFL schedule announce announcement.
So I don't know, if you're watching, the NFL has
two hundred and seventy two games. That's the inventory, tw
seventy two matchups that will play from the first week
(05:03):
in September until early January, and then they'll add the
playoff games playoffs. Now, fortunately they did not announce They
did not announce the playoff games. Although some of you
think that it's all planned out, it's all written and scripted,
and the playoff games, they already know who's going to
(05:24):
be in the playoffs. They already know who's gonna win
the Super Bowl, who's gonna get hurt which week, like
it's all planned out, All of that stuff is planned out.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So they didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But they announced the two hundred and seventy two matchups
and that's fine, and when they are now, I am
rather I guess the word I will use is blah.
When it comes to this day, I'm blocked. But I
realized that many people are fired up about.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
This is a big It's a big deal. I'm not
in that camp, but for those that are, fine.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Patrick Mahomes, Mahomie, He's still got the Razmataz Mahomes and
Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift the number one the celebrity Kelsey, Mahomes,
Taylor Swift and the Chiefs will be featured in what
are we looking at here?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Five island games.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Now, there's a difference between the national game.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And the island game.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
To me, the island game is more important, the standalone game.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
The island game. They have the most in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Kansas City will have a rematch also with the Eagles
in Week two at Arrowhead on Fox, so you better watch.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's on Fox, so you better watch. That's the rematch
of the Super Bowl, which was not much of a game.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
And Jalen Hurts, Sakwan Barkley and Philadelphia are getting the
second most island games.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Now. The Sunday Night card begins with Josh Allen Lamar Jackson.
That'll be the first Sunday Night game.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
You've got the rest of the card announced with the
various things. Now, let us discuss the question while we
have made it perfectly clear.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
While we have made it.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Perfectly clear, we are lukewarm about the impact of the
schedule being released. What is your favorite part of this
choreographed event?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
My favorite part.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So I've got three horsemen, Expedia, and soft Underbelly, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make the Gobba goool.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
We're gonna make the Gopa goool.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So to kick off, here the NFL revealing the pecking order.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I always love this part of me. Now peck in
the old days, the NFL.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Back in the old days, the NFL used to just
send out a news release saying, here's the schedule whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Now it's a TV show.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But the thing that I love is the tell and
the NFL announces that not all of the teams are
in good standing in the cartel of pig Skin. And
since it is a TV show and people love watching
the TV show, it's the most popular TV show we have.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Not every team is worthy of getting the same amount
of air time.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You have the haves and the have nots in this
popularity contest. Now we mentioned the Chiefs and Eagles are
the cool kids, lights, camera action.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
They got the most island games.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But my favorite part get to the point, please, is
the losers of the cloud competition. And my streak has
continued as a distant relative of Nostra Damas and a
friend of Nostridia's. For the last seven years, I have
correctly predicted at least one of the teams that is
(08:47):
on the outs. Now, this year we had three horsemen
of the apocalypse of football. That would be the Tennessee Titans,
the Cleveland Browns, and the New Orleans Saints. How was
the team I picked? That's war, famine and death. Zero
island games. No island games. You get to wear the
(09:09):
dunch cap. You are unpopular, You've got the cooties. Congratulations.
That is a vote of no confidence. That is the NFL.
That is television telling you they think cam Ward's gonna blow.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Otherwise you would have given cam.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Ward a game number one overall, pick not get one game.
That is a deagnod way. The NFL fix He's gonna
suck shoulder Sanders. They don't think sure is gonna even
make the team. Forget starting right, Joe Flacco is likely
gonna be the starting quarterback there in that environment in Cleveland,
(09:46):
and so the Browns they didn't end up getting a game.
And then you and the New Orleans Saints, who are
not must see TV, they must turn off TV.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Is the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I mean, my god, what a hot, hot mess, an
absolute hot mess.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They are horrific, absolutely horrific.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now, the other thing is, does the NFL play favorites
with certain teams when it's time to create the schedule?
And then yes, and guess what, it's justified. It's justified.
The Dallas Cowboys, no matter how incompetent Jerry Jones is,
no matter how bleak things look, they hired the lead
(10:31):
Dufis as the head coach.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
No matter all of that.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
If you put the Dallas Cowboys on television, you're gonna
win ninety nine percent of the weeks.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Ninety nine percent of weeks.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Now, Dallas will make history the first team, it's not
great history, but the first team to ever play not one,
not two, not three, but four Thursday games in a
single season. They always play the tradition Thanksgiving game, but
this year they've got a Christmas game as well. So
not only do they have the Thanksgiving, they got the Christmas.
(11:09):
The whole thing I think I believe they play on Christmas.
So it's a total of four Thursday games. So feed
the Beast, compelling storyline, Feed the beast.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Now, furthermore, are there any quirks in the NFL schedule
that raise your eyebrows anything? So the answer to that
is yes, the NFL schedule gods are telling us that
Aaron Rodgers is going to play in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
He isn't sun yet, He's not gonna play. Okay, well,
look at the schedule.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
The Steelers start out with a revenge game for Aaron
Rodgers against his old team, the Jets, and they're going
to start, barring some kind of injury, they're going to
start justin field to the Jets. So that's former Steeler
versus Jet, former Steeler turned Jet versus Steeler, and for
(12:05):
Jet turned Steeler versus Jets.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
There'll be a quiz on this. That's in Week one.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
JJ McCarthy getting the spotlight on him, early, getting the
spotlight on him. The Vikings begin the season Week one,
they play Monday Night Football. Week two, the Vikings play
a I believe they play Sunday Night Football Week two,
and then after a regular Week three, early start. Minnesota
(12:31):
will be the first team to play back to back
international games, and so that'll happen in Week.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Four and Week five.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
They will go from Dublin to London, which for some
sounds very grueling.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
However, the flight from Dublin to London.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Is like going from Minneapolis to Indianapolis. It's no big deal.
It's the same mileage and time in the plane and
all that stuff. So it's a really short, short fight.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The NFL will have a bunch of Monday night doubleheaders.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
There's two of those Week four through Week four and
week six. There's also the traditional Monday night doubleheaders just
in general that aren't at the same time. And in
terms of the question like who benefits the most from
the NFL schedule being released, I don't benefit. Like I'll
watch the I gotta go to a few games a year,
(13:25):
but I don't plan my life around it.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I don't. I can play my life around watching the games.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
But whether the games are, whether they're played in Timbucktoo
or Walla Walla, Washington, or who knows where, I'll watch anyway.
You know, if they're in Rancho Kucamonga, I'll check them out.
I'll be watching The people that benefit the most are Expedia,
Like this is the event for season ticket holders, for
people that travel to games, to plan your road trip,
(13:54):
to go out and get the cheap hotel room before
the prices go up, to get the airfare and get
all that stuff I've booked before, way in advance, and
so this is the earliest possible time. So you book
the planes, trains and automobiles, and then you grab the
hotel rooms and you're good to go. All right, last
thing here, So is there anything else from a gambling standpoint,
for example, what do you look for most in.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Terms of advantages? So this is one of those things.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
You do peak at, but you don't pay too close
attention to the usual things.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You look for. If you're handicapping the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
If you've done this, you know of these things is
you look for a warm weather team, a dome team
that goes to a bad weather environment late in the season.
That is a recipe for disaster for the warm weather
or the dome team. Traditionally, for example, to a tongue
of Iloa's dolphins have not one, not two, but three
(14:51):
likely cold weather games in December and January.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The chances that they win.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
All three zero z ro maybe they even one, but
probably not. If you look at the comps on that
not very good. So I guess you have ice Dolphin sushi.
Even if Miami gets off to a wonderful start, They've
still got that on the back nine of the schedule.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's a problem.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And then you look for teams that have extra rest.
They have an extra rest advantage. Teams that are home
teams that played like on a Monday night and then
have to come right back on a Sunday, or the
dreaded Thursday game after a Sunday game and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Those are obviously the spot bets that you look at.
You can't get.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Too worked up because things change based on injury. There
are certain quarterbacks that are very soft quarterbacks that don't
play well in bad weather. They are they're dome quarterbacks,
fraudulent quarterbacks like Jared Goff or Gino Smith or Sam Darnold,
players that just cannot perform unless they're in the great indoors.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So you look for those those games as well.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It is the Benett Mallor Show, the Ben Malor Show,

We'll get to it. We will do it next.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
You in the court of sports radio, so act accordingly.
We'll got back to the calls in a minute. I
did see our friend Alf the Alien. Opiner pointed out
that Trevor Bauer was a little hurt that he has
(18:24):
not ended up back in the good graces of Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
He took some shots.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Rob Manford announced a bunch of dead people are now
allowed back in baseball, and Trevor bauers like, what about me?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
One of those deals? What about me? And not back?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Of course, Baseball would say the way you get back
is dropped dead, and then the commissioner will allow you
to come back.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
But while you're alive, they don't really want you in baseball.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
As Bauer has been bouncing around the different leagues in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And yeah, and Japan and Korea.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
He's been I think he's been in Japan, maybe just Korea,
but he's bounced all over the place.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
And so he took.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
A shot, which, yeah, Bauer should be pitching somebody. You
look at some of these stiffs that are I watched
every night. I got a baseball game on more than one.
I'm not bragging about it. For example, there was a
raccoon that was found at City Field last night during
the the Mets Pirates wet City Field the raccoon.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Did they eat it?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Uh No? Although so scratch off.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
If he had been there, he probably would have roasted
that over a barbecue and would have had that. But
he's down in Arkansas. So anywayt's go to the phones.
Let's say hello now to eeny Meenie, miney Moe. Let's
go to Dick in Dayton. What this is the guy
everyone wants to hear about what he has to say?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
The Dickster. You give me a little taste of that
Dick the great morning, Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
What a great week this was. We were all thinking
about you the other day.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
We want to get your reaction right now. Your thoughts,
Dick and Dayton, Charlie Hussel. Pete Rose has been reinstated
in the Major League Baseball, Your.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Thoughts funding him to be. I think he should be.
He was a leader with the Reds. I've always wanted him.
I think they should vote for him, guys, I do okay?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Send that out cool Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Full full throated support from Dick and Dayton for Pete Rose.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I want to congratulate they had injuries to Cleveland Cavaliers
for a great year, for a great year. I guess
the other team was just too much.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
For him, you know, Yeah, you're not offended that they
lost and no, Well, I thought.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
They had a good gear. I thought they're doing good.
I'm still rooting for the Guardians, still rooting for them,
you know, yeah, I know they played the Reds. I
think is it tomorrow night? The three games consists.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That's big for you. That's a big matchup for you.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Do you pull for the You're more of a Guardian
man like, yeah, yeah, but they were back when they
were the Indians.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
You liked the team a lot like then, Yeah, I understand.
Are you excited for the schedule day? The NFL schedule
is out, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I'm going to have to go to the library and
get it today, you know, I'm sorry to kind of sid.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Loraine is also going to the library today to check
that out, right, Loraina, you're going there.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I go to the library every three days, Ben, really
every three days? Why is it?
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I love read?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Okay, I'll look articles, you know, past articles the Dayton
Daily News did on me over the years, like speak up,
call them and you're on the like that, and you.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Sent me some of those you sent me some of
those stories over the years.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Well, thank you, Dick, Bye bye,
bye bye.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
There goes Dick and Dayton fired up. Boy. That it's
the raw emotion. The raw emotion.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Speaking of raw, so let's go down to everyone's favorite
garbage man, although his calls aren't garbage, Danny DeVito in Boston.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
What's up, Danny? Welcome, mister mal of.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
What's going on? I had a call in today because
he sets up earlier. You had lunch with the legend
Tommy Heinson I love that guy. And how did that
come about with what you know you went out with?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Well, it was, yeah, it was. I was in LA.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
The Celtics were in LA to play the Clippers and
tom It was one of the last years that Tommy
didn't travel the last couple of years, but he was
still traveling with the.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Team and he sat down.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
We sat at the same table in the media dining room,
and it was great. It was like thirty minutes of
Tommy Heinsen telling stories about his days with the Celtics
and why they hated the Lakers, and like why they
were how they were trying to get kids in all
over the New England States to play basketball and how
they were having problems with it. And he told this
(22:58):
whole rant Aboutalti McCarty because he he's a scream about
Walter McCarty and how great.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Walter was and all that.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And Tommy told the story about how at the time
the Celtics were a pretty bad team. They were pretty
like a stale team. They didn't have a lot of
the players just kind of stood there. They move around,
like WALTI McCarty was at the time a guy that
actually moved around and was athletic and and was exciting
to watch. And so Tommy like loved him because he
was much better.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I remember those days. Yeah, that was the mid nineties,
the late nineties.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, that was like the Dino Roger era of the Celtics.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Yeah, Boston was a real trash. They were real trash
and so he wasn't gonna say it, but he what
was he a nice guy? I mean how you know,
how was Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, he was. He was very It was very It
was very cool. He Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It was really funny though, because at the he told
the story about how like the the Lakers had stolen
I forget that one of the coaches for the Lakers
years ago, like way before, you know, back in the
old days, was like he had a connection to the
Celtics and like so the Lakers had stolen stuff from
the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
He was like Tommy was convinced of that. It was
really funny.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, h the way he told the story, like even
off TV he had a grudge against the Lakers.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
It was funny, pretty good, you know, Ben, I had
a terrifying experience yesterday in the Scabi struck. You know
that I thought it was my time yesterday I was.
I dumped it out. I finished my route and I
was going back to the South Show. I was going
back to my yacht there and uh I was empty
(24:32):
and I was doing max feet in the highway about
sixty sixty five miles an hour. I hear a big bang.
One of the front tires blew out, and I thought
for sure I was gonna go over.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I manskt off.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
I was right on the main highway there on ninety three,
and uh I managed to get over. But that was
something that was pretty serious, ben pretty serious.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Thing was rocked like a boat.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
It was rocked like a boat.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Wow, that's that is scary.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I'm glad you're Has that ever happen through I'm glad
you're okay?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Did that ever happen to you before? Is that the
first time I slipped one over?
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Many years ago when I had they had no breaks,
but that was a long time ago. But this one,
it wasn't my fault. The thing to tie it blew
out on it.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You know, Yeah, there's nothing you can do. He can't
do it. I've had I haven't been driving a trash truck,
but I've had tires blow out on when I'm and
it's very scary driving a regular car. Can't imagine in
a trash trash truck. Have you ever had now, let
me ask you this, Danny DeVito, the trash Man of
the Stars, Have you ever had? This happens a lot
(25:34):
out here where people throw stuff away they're not supposed
to throw away, and it'll light the truck on fire.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Has that ever happened?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
There was.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Actually it was one of my friends. He worked a
trash company. He had a prowl on the other day
and he was in a different truck and his truck
caught him fire and he had to push out the
load and a on a main street was over in Quinsy,
I don't you know, it's from Boston, and he had
the load out, so there was it was a big
(26:03):
pock lot, and the whole pock lot caught fire because
of the.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah you got they tell you the yeah, they tell
you to do it right, because that's happened a few
times out here where they have to open up and
the whole streets covered in trash, burning trash, just amazing.
I'm glad, you're I'm glad you're okay.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It happens a lot.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
It happens a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Okay, all right, yeah, we'll be safe out there. Danny
or Celtics are not burning trash.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
They're they're alive.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
So you still got that till fred I thank you,
the the great Danny DeVito.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Where's the beef?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So hasn't even played a game yet, hasn't had any
practice as far as I know, George Pickens, there's already
problems brewing the tabloid reports around George Pickens and Ceedee
Lamb with the Dallas Cowboys. They are not singing Kumbai Yah.
Said to be some behind the scenes issues. I don't
(26:59):
know how much of this you believe, and how much
of this you know you don't believe, but it's out
there that despite the seemingly positive early feedback, behind the scenes,
George Pickens is planning on usurping usurping the incumbent wide
(27:20):
receiver in CD LAMB. But ceed he got paid, so
we'll see how that goes. Would be fun for talk radio,
so we're all about it. And how about Joe Burrow,
who people are interpreting is very upset with the Bengals.
He was supposed to talk to the media, He delayed
his media availability and The belief is he's upset he
(27:42):
postponed his media availability because he would have said the
thing he can't say at the time. He can't say it.
Regarding Trey Hendrickson and his contract situation, the Bengals deciding
to pay the wide receivers, but they didn't have any
money left for Trey Hendrickson, so now he wants to
be traded and Burrow deciding to not talk to the
(28:05):
media right away. One person that has no problem talking
to the media is Blind Scott, who's always there this hour.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
This is like the.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Hour of Blind Scott in Boston. Hello, Blind, I got Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
I think I'm gonna die all the time. I'll be
using my cane trying to cross the three and I'm
scared that a car is going to hit me, and
I'm just praying that the cane touches the curb so
I make it across safely. Des time. That's a Team
Sears Union twenty five that Danny Devino. Dandy Devino worked for.
You know, I've lived in the North End since and
I need sa maafia. I got all those people those jobs.
You know, we can say that perfectly. Fine, it's no
(28:40):
big deal, you know, what I'm saying. I had a
no show job. I worked in the Big Dig. I
was with some of the biggest rock hooster those from
members from the United States working in the Big Dig.
They're all so old now they can't say nothing. You
can say whatever you want about them now, you know
what I'm saying. They did good for the community, but
they got garbagemen making two hundred thousand dollars a year
in Boston and I got to pay like ten thousand
(29:02):
a year from my real estate tax is you know
when I'm a socialist to them on Glenn Beck all
the time, Ben Glenn Beck gives me more airtime than you.
I do this call to Glen Beck where I say
I'm a disabled person, I'm outspoken, and they treat me
like the play You know what I mean. Nobody advocates
for me. I'm a blind person that needs a lot
of accommodations. I can't even use a guide dog right
now because I'm so politically outspoken. I'm doing amazing things.
(29:25):
I live in the North End. A lot of people
dislike me because I'm outspoken. Those New York Nicks fans,
they're not even listening. Now that's on in the Tri
State area. The guy that competes against Ben Overnight is
terrible on that station. He is about garbage. He is
wicked bad garbage. You know what I mean. I'm calling.
I'm doing like twenty five radio calls a week. I know,
the head reporter for WBZ News, Christina rexceeds you to
(29:48):
even come down and interview me. I was operating a
can of black spray paint earlier spray painting over this
political sign, and the fumes came all up in my nose.
I gotta like figure out how to do that. You know,
you need to put like a detached on it.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
But can you take a breath? Can you take a break.
There's no pause, you don't pause, you just keep going.
I'm giving you airtime. You can pause. You don't have
to like try to get it all in in like
a minute. What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (30:15):
I'm going to Hyennas with Mike de Leprechhn over the
subdery dude. And then there's Justin Cooper and there's Nick Jomelli.
They're both producers, they're both the same height and weight,
and they're both my best friends and they both work
in sports radio.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
You know what I yah, Cooper is justin. Cooper is
your best friend. He always talks about you off the air.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
He's a big You know, I would.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Never go on a cruise, man. The biggest dirt bags
in the world go on cruises. You ever see the
people that come off those cruise boats, Man.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I've never I've never been on a cruise.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
I've never You're not a discussed in human being. That's
why it is so toxic those ships.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
The coop? Is that true, Coop? Or they're disgusting people
on your cruise? Coop? Was it terrible?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
No?
Speaker 8 (30:55):
But I feel like this was definitely a different crowd
than I've seen on PAS cruises.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
The older old Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
I think the average age was probably like sixty eight.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
You see a fight at the buffet line once in
a while, or by the pool or by the elevator.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
No, No, that happens on like the tropical cruises.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Uh, they leave out of New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
There's a port in New Jersey.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
The cheapest way to go on a cruise is to
fly to Houston and just leave directly from there. The
best cruises up in Alaska, where you can go like
a Nordic type of cruise. I'm disappointed that I can't
come to Vancouver. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna run into FEDS
at the porter.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
That's not why why you said you were gonna go
to you now you're now you're backing out.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You're go two weeks away, two weeks away. You got
to go to mom.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
My mom was in the one hundred and first Airborne,
the Screaming Eagles. She was a civilian for a general.
She said that they could question me when I'm coming
back into the country and maybe not let me into
the country. And if she's saying that, I'm worried about it,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
But why would they not let you back into the country.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
What have you done so against the government?
Speaker 7 (32:01):
You I have two legal names right now that I
am trying. I'm trying to get it worked out. I
could have said politically, you know, everything's gone. I'm trying
to push the government back another way. Now I'm not
going to go into another country and they say, oh,
we've got a blind Scott. They photographed me at some
of these protests and identified me there because I hold
a mobility chane. So I can't even vote them anymore.
(32:22):
I just don't want any trouble. You know, I want
to be on the Ben Mallishaw.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I don't want you. You're you're you're saying you're a paranoid.
You're worried that something that is going to happen.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
Yeah, I'm worried.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I'm worried about.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
A lot of things now, you know, I'm always.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Worried about stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I need a new guide dog.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
I need a guide dog school to accommodate me with
a guide dog. Right now, they won't even do that.
But but if I could push the political climate the
other way, blind Scott could be president of the United
States of America.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you, all right, go away.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
And I don't have a problem with trash people making
a lot of money. I I don't want to do
that job. If you are willing to do that, like
that's you're dealing with other people's strengths. And if you
don't think that's an important job, have the trash people
go on strike for a couple of weeks and not
pick up the trash and see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Good luck on that, yeah, not so not so good.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
It is the Ben mal Show. We need some judges
we are moments away from fact or fiction. I didn't
want to mention though, Coop, there is a job open
the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
This is so funny.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
The Lakers are now Yeah, they are searching for a
new strength and.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Conditioning coach, head strength and conditioning coach. They posted the.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Job online and the team is offering two hundred thousand
to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year to
motivate Luca to work out, and it says I will
take this job.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
You should apply.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
It says part of the position's responsibility is to motivate
the players.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
I'm great at motivation, raw raw, team and all that.
Faster faster.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Oh, this is so good, This is so great. They
guys say legally had to post the job. Does that
mean they posted it because they legally have to do
it or be nobody.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Wanted the job because they know that's a dead end job.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
They definitely have to do it legally. But like I
was kind of shocked to see the salary.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
To be honest, what did you think they were going
to pay? That's it. They can't pay everyone a ton
of money, right, No.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
I think that's a it's a good job. Yeah, I'm
surprised it's that much. That's That's what I'm saying. I
thought that was a lot because it's just the strength
and conditioning.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Right. Yeah, but you got to live.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
In LA, right, but I mean South Bay of LA
which is very expensive to live in.
Speaker 8 (34:38):
That just makes me wonder, like how much was like, uh,
you know, how much is the head athletic trainer making millions? Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, I used to know. I don't I don't know know.
And they're doing well though they're doing well. Yeah, you
think probably around a million. I would think close to it.
There's no salary cap on those jobs.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Hey, so if you want the Laker job, if you
working a gym somewhere, just apply, maybe we'll hire you.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
You can tell Luca.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
To run laps and tell Lebron that he needs to
work out more, and yeah, good luck on That is

Let's try.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Let's try. Mike in New Hampshire. Hello, Mike, welcome, there

a second.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
And by the way, justin cins and I says blind
Scott was full of you know what, the trash men
do not make that much in Boston. So anyway, Story
number one, the most famous dog in all of sports
just celebrated birthday. Show Hey Otani his dog decoy, and
they're very excited about that. Celebrated second birthday, Otani showered
his K nine friend with plenty of gifts. The gifts
(38:35):
included a bouquet of flowers, a gold number two balloon,
and a plaque dubbing him most Valuable Dog unless.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
We made that up.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Story number two, a former Auburn player Johnny Broom, was
the runner up for the National Player of the Year
in college basketball, but his performance at the NBA Draft
Combine not that impressive.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
In fact, Broom's vertical.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Leap was so bad that one of the people they
replied to the viral video of Brooms dual lingo replied
to the viral video of Broom's leap saying, learn Chinese
and try super dual lingo today.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Okay, And story number three, dub pope.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
If you haven't heard by now, the new Pope is
a Chicago White Sox fan.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
It seems the White Sox are also fans of the
New Pope.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
The team announced this week their June seventeenth home game
against the Cardinals will honor Pope Leo. It'll be his
Bobblehead Night, where the first ten thousand fans will receive
their very own Pope bobblehead. Okay, again, which of these
stories is not true? And if you can figure out
which the three is not true, separating fiction from fact,
(39:47):
let's go back to the judges and we'll start out
with America's favorite crossing guard.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Daniel and Fort Wayne. Daniel, what's the correct answer? Daniel
number two?
Speaker 3 (39:56):

Who needs a nickname?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Mike? Which is the fake story?
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Mike number two?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Everyone's cheating off the other people. Mike the leprechaun one,
two or three? Mic number four? All right, you're an idiot. No,
it's number three. The pulps.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
So that giving away. You can't get a bottlehead that quick.
You know, it takes a long time to go. Those
things off from China and all that takes a long time.
Ding dong. It's our number.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Our number four is in the audio door and the
hour we've all been waiting for talking about a schedule.
It's the fifteenth day of May. Happy Thursday to you,
and the NFL announced the matchups. We've known who's playing who,
just not when. So while we are lukewarm about the
(00:26):
impact of the schedule release event, what's your favorite part
of this choreographed shindig.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
For the NFL?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And are there any quirks in the NFL schedule that
raise your eyebrows? Will discuss that who benefits the most
from the schedule or release of anyone? And from a
gambling standpoint, what do you look for most in terms
of advantages, if any. We'll get to all that and
more right now. Have a wonderful Thursday here. It is
(00:54):
our number four. It's all about the day. It's all
about the dates.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
What dates? Who cares about that? What are you talking about?
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahlor Show. We are in the air aywhere at the
same time, Yeah, we are. We bring life to the
quiet hours and oh they are all so quiet, absolutely
(01:30):
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
vast and pioneeringly powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from
the mouth the big mouth of the radio dial from
the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by far Out
(01:54):
Dave far He's in Ohio, and he approves that message

he says, all right, and.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
We're just beginning this hour number four of the Big Show.
As we are getting started later this hour, we are
going to have if you stay with us for a
full hour, a classic radio bit.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
In hour number four, we will.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Break it all down the magic of fact or fiction.
That'll be coming up a little bit later on in
the show. But we begin this hour not with the
pro bouncy Ball, not with the pro bouncy Ball, which
was the Boston Selly's winning last night without Jason Tatum.
(02:42):
They won by twenty five points over the New York Knickerbockers.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So the series will go to Friday night. We'll have that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And if you thought the Golden State Warriors would actually
win a game where Steph Curry didn't play the.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Entire game, you are a loser.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Is a loser because it turns out the Warriors did
not put up much of a fight and they have
been decommissioned from the postseason as Minnesota has advanced. To
Minnesota moving on to the Western Conference Finals for the
second consecutive year, the team that was the definition of
(03:22):
bad to the bone, bad bad, bad to the bone,
but now they are into the Final four of the NBA.

We're going to start out in the app store, the

Speaker 1 (04:06):
The yeah, well you tell you about that on my phone?
Uh well, let me explain. So it's a day that
so many people.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Get all fired up about. We Oh, it's so exciting.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
For me.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Eh. It's all about the made for TV spectacle.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It was NFL schedule Day, Raw Rah so exciting.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, So that that was last night.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
While the basketball and if you're into the hockey playoffs,
all that stuff was going on, Well that was going on,
you had the always exciting, always exciting NFL schedule announce announcement.
So I don't know, if you're watching, the NFL has
two hundred and seventy two games. That's the inventory, tw
seventy two matchups that will play from the first week
(05:03):
in September until early January, and then they'll add the
playoff games playoffs. Now, fortunately they did not announce They
did not announce the playoff games. Although some of you
think that it's all planned out, it's all written and scripted,
and the playoff games, they already know who's going to
(05:24):
be in the playoffs. They already know who's gonna win
the Super Bowl, who's gonna get hurt which week, like
it's all planned out, All of that stuff is planned out.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So they didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But they announced the two hundred and seventy two matchups
and that's fine, and when they are now, I am
rather I guess the word I will use is blah.
When it comes to this day, I'm blocked. But I
realized that many people are fired up about.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
This is a big It's a big deal. I'm not
in that camp, but for those that are, fine.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Patrick Mahomes, Mahomie, He's still got the Razmataz Mahomes and
Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift the number one the celebrity Kelsey, Mahomes,
Taylor Swift and the Chiefs will be featured in what
are we looking at here?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Five island games.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Now, there's a difference between the national game.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And the island game.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
To me, the island game is more important, the standalone game.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
The island game. They have the most in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Kansas City will have a rematch also with the Eagles
in Week two at Arrowhead on Fox, so you better watch.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's on Fox, so you better watch. That's the rematch
of the Super Bowl, which was not much of a game.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
And Jalen Hurts, Sakwan Barkley and Philadelphia are getting the
second most island games.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Now. The Sunday Night card begins with Josh Allen Lamar Jackson.
That'll be the first Sunday Night game.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
You've got the rest of the card announced with the
various things. Now, let us discuss the question while we
have made it perfectly clear.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
While we have made it.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Perfectly clear, we are lukewarm about the impact of the
schedule being released. What is your favorite part of this
choreographed event?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
My favorite part.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So I've got three horsemen, Expedia, and soft Underbelly, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make the Gobba goool.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
We're gonna make the Gopa goool.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So to kick off, here the NFL revealing the pecking order.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I always love this part of me. Now peck in
the old days, the NFL.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Back in the old days, the NFL used to just
send out a news release saying, here's the schedule whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Now it's a TV show.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But the thing that I love is the tell and
the NFL announces that not all of the teams are
in good standing in the cartel of pig Skin. And
since it is a TV show and people love watching
the TV show, it's the most popular TV show we have.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Not every team is worthy of getting the same amount
of air time.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You have the haves and the have nots in this
popularity contest. Now we mentioned the Chiefs and Eagles are
the cool kids, lights, camera action.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
They got the most island games.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But my favorite part get to the point, please, is
the losers of the cloud competition. And my streak has
continued as a distant relative of Nostra Damas and a
friend of Nostridia's. For the last seven years, I have
correctly predicted at least one of the teams that is
(08:47):
on the outs. Now, this year we had three horsemen
of the apocalypse of football. That would be the Tennessee Titans,
the Cleveland Browns, and the New Orleans Saints. How was
the team I picked? That's war, famine and death. Zero
island games. No island games. You get to wear the
(09:09):
dunch cap. You are unpopular, You've got the cooties. Congratulations.
That is a vote of no confidence. That is the NFL.
That is television telling you they think cam Ward's gonna blow.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Otherwise you would have given cam.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Ward a game number one overall, pick not get one game.
That is a deagnod way. The NFL fix He's gonna
suck shoulder Sanders. They don't think sure is gonna even
make the team. Forget starting right, Joe Flacco is likely
gonna be the starting quarterback there in that environment in Cleveland,
(09:46):
and so the Browns they didn't end up getting a game.
And then you and the New Orleans Saints, who are
not must see TV, they must turn off TV.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Is the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I mean, my god, what a hot, hot mess, an
absolute hot mess.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They are horrific, absolutely horrific.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now, the other thing is, does the NFL play favorites
with certain teams when it's time to create the schedule?
And then yes, and guess what, it's justified. It's justified.
The Dallas Cowboys, no matter how incompetent Jerry Jones is,
no matter how bleak things look, they hired the lead
(10:31):
Dufis as the head coach.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
No matter all of that.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
If you put the Dallas Cowboys on television, you're gonna
win ninety nine percent of the weeks.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Ninety nine percent of weeks.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Now, Dallas will make history the first team, it's not
great history, but the first team to ever play not one,
not two, not three, but four Thursday games in a
single season. They always play the tradition Thanksgiving game, but
this year they've got a Christmas game as well. So
not only do they have the Thanksgiving, they got the Christmas.
(11:09):
The whole thing I think I believe they play on Christmas.
So it's a total of four Thursday games. So feed
the Beast, compelling storyline, Feed the beast.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Now, furthermore, are there any quirks in the NFL schedule
that raise your eyebrows anything? So the answer to that
is yes, the NFL schedule gods are telling us that
Aaron Rodgers is going to play in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
He isn't sun yet, He's not gonna play. Okay, well,
look at the schedule.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
The Steelers start out with a revenge game for Aaron
Rodgers against his old team, the Jets, and they're going
to start, barring some kind of injury, they're going to
start justin field to the Jets. So that's former Steeler
versus Jet, former Steeler turned Jet versus Steeler, and for
(12:05):
Jet turned Steeler versus Jets.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
There'll be a quiz on this. That's in Week one.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
JJ McCarthy getting the spotlight on him, early, getting the
spotlight on him. The Vikings begin the season Week one,
they play Monday Night Football. Week two, the Vikings play
a I believe they play Sunday Night Football Week two,
and then after a regular Week three, early start. Minnesota
(12:31):
will be the first team to play back to back
international games, and so that'll happen in Week.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Four and Week five.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
They will go from Dublin to London, which for some
sounds very grueling.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
However, the flight from Dublin to London.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Is like going from Minneapolis to Indianapolis. It's no big deal.
It's the same mileage and time in the plane and
all that stuff. So it's a really short, short fight.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The NFL will have a bunch of Monday night doubleheaders.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
There's two of those Week four through Week four and
week six. There's also the traditional Monday night doubleheaders just
in general that aren't at the same time. And in
terms of the question like who benefits the most from
the NFL schedule being released, I don't benefit. Like I'll
watch the I gotta go to a few games a year,
(13:25):
but I don't plan my life around it.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I don't. I can play my life around watching the games.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
But whether the games are, whether they're played in Timbucktoo
or Walla Walla, Washington, or who knows where, I'll watch anyway.
You know, if they're in Rancho Kucamonga, I'll check them out.
I'll be watching The people that benefit the most are Expedia,
Like this is the event for season ticket holders, for
people that travel to games, to plan your road trip,
(13:54):
to go out and get the cheap hotel room before
the prices go up, to get the airfare and get
all that stuff I've booked before, way in advance, and
so this is the earliest possible time. So you book
the planes, trains and automobiles, and then you grab the
hotel rooms and you're good to go. All right, last
thing here, So is there anything else from a gambling standpoint,
for example, what do you look for most in.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Terms of advantages? So this is one of those things.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
You do peak at, but you don't pay too close
attention to the usual things.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You look for. If you're handicapping the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
If you've done this, you know of these things is
you look for a warm weather team, a dome team
that goes to a bad weather environment late in the season.
That is a recipe for disaster for the warm weather
or the dome team. Traditionally, for example, to a tongue
of Iloa's dolphins have not one, not two, but three
(14:51):
likely cold weather games in December and January.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The chances that they win.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
All three zero z ro maybe they even one, but
probably not. If you look at the comps on that
not very good. So I guess you have ice Dolphin sushi.
Even if Miami gets off to a wonderful start, They've
still got that on the back nine of the schedule.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's a problem.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And then you look for teams that have extra rest.
They have an extra rest advantage. Teams that are home
teams that played like on a Monday night and then
have to come right back on a Sunday, or the
dreaded Thursday game after a Sunday game and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Those are obviously the spot bets that you look at.
You can't get.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Too worked up because things change based on injury. There
are certain quarterbacks that are very soft quarterbacks that don't
play well in bad weather. They are they're dome quarterbacks,
fraudulent quarterbacks like Jared Goff or Gino Smith or Sam Darnold,
players that just cannot perform unless they're in the great indoors.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So you look for those those games as well.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It is the Benett Mallor Show, the Ben Malor Show,

Speaker 2 (18:02):
You in the court of sports radio, so act accordingly.
We'll got back to the calls in a minute. I
did see our friend Alf the Alien. Opiner pointed out
that Trevor Bauer was a little hurt that he has
(18:24):
not ended up back in the good graces of Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
He took some shots.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Rob Manford announced a bunch of dead people are now
allowed back in baseball, and Trevor bauers like, what about me?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
One of those deals? What about me? And not back?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Of course, Baseball would say the way you get back
is dropped dead, and then the commissioner will allow you
to come back.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
But while you're alive, they don't really want you in baseball.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
As Bauer has been bouncing around the different leagues in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And yeah, and Japan and Korea.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
He's been I think he's been in Japan, maybe just Korea,
but he's bounced all over the place.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
And so he took.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
A shot, which, yeah, Bauer should be pitching somebody. You
look at some of these stiffs that are I watched
every night. I got a baseball game on more than one.
I'm not bragging about it. For example, there was a
raccoon that was found at City Field last night during
the the Mets Pirates wet City Field the raccoon.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Did they eat it?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Uh No? Although so scratch off.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
If he had been there, he probably would have roasted
that over a barbecue and would have had that. But
he's down in Arkansas. So anywayt's go to the phones.
Let's say hello now to eeny Meenie, miney Moe. Let's
go to Dick in Dayton. What this is the guy
everyone wants to hear about what he has to say?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
The Dickster. You give me a little taste of that
Dick the great morning, Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
What a great week this was. We were all thinking
about you the other day.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
We want to get your reaction right now. Your thoughts,
Dick and Dayton, Charlie Hussel. Pete Rose has been reinstated
in the Major League Baseball, Your.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Thoughts funding him to be. I think he should be.
He was a leader with the Reds. I've always wanted him.
I think they should vote for him, guys, I do okay?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Send that out cool Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Full full throated support from Dick and Dayton for Pete Rose.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I want to congratulate they had injuries to Cleveland Cavaliers
for a great year, for a great year. I guess
the other team was just too much.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
For him, you know, Yeah, you're not offended that they
lost and no, Well, I thought.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
They had a good gear. I thought they're doing good.
I'm still rooting for the Guardians, still rooting for them,
you know, yeah, I know they played the Reds. I
think is it tomorrow night? The three games consists.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That's big for you. That's a big matchup for you.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Do you pull for the You're more of a Guardian
man like, yeah, yeah, but they were back when they
were the Indians.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
You liked the team a lot like then, Yeah, I understand.
Are you excited for the schedule day? The NFL schedule
is out, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I'm going to have to go to the library and
get it today, you know, I'm sorry to kind of sid.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Loraine is also going to the library today to check
that out, right, Loraina, you're going there.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I go to the library every three days, Ben, really
every three days? Why is it?
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I love read?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Okay, I'll look articles, you know, past articles the Dayton
Daily News did on me over the years, like speak up,
call them and you're on the like that, and you.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Sent me some of those you sent me some of
those stories over the years.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Well, thank you, Dick, Bye bye,
bye bye.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
There goes Dick and Dayton fired up. Boy. That it's
the raw emotion. The raw emotion.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Speaking of raw, so let's go down to everyone's favorite
garbage man, although his calls aren't garbage, Danny DeVito in Boston.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
What's up, Danny? Welcome, mister mal of.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
What's going on? I had a call in today because
he sets up earlier. You had lunch with the legend
Tommy Heinson I love that guy. And how did that
come about with what you know you went out with?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Well, it was, yeah, it was. I was in LA.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
The Celtics were in LA to play the Clippers and
tom It was one of the last years that Tommy
didn't travel the last couple of years, but he was
still traveling with the.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Team and he sat down.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
We sat at the same table in the media dining room,
and it was great. It was like thirty minutes of
Tommy Heinsen telling stories about his days with the Celtics
and why they hated the Lakers, and like why they
were how they were trying to get kids in all
over the New England States to play basketball and how
they were having problems with it. And he told this
(22:58):
whole rant Aboutalti McCarty because he he's a scream about
Walter McCarty and how great.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Walter was and all that.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And Tommy told the story about how at the time
the Celtics were a pretty bad team. They were pretty
like a stale team. They didn't have a lot of
the players just kind of stood there. They move around,
like WALTI McCarty was at the time a guy that
actually moved around and was athletic and and was exciting
to watch. And so Tommy like loved him because he
was much better.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I remember those days. Yeah, that was the mid nineties,
the late nineties.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, that was like the Dino Roger era of the Celtics.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Yeah, Boston was a real trash. They were real trash
and so he wasn't gonna say it, but he what
was he a nice guy? I mean how you know,
how was Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, he was. He was very It was very It
was very cool. He Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It was really funny though, because at the he told
the story about how like the the Lakers had stolen
I forget that one of the coaches for the Lakers
years ago, like way before, you know, back in the
old days, was like he had a connection to the
Celtics and like so the Lakers had stolen stuff from
the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
He was like Tommy was convinced of that. It was
really funny.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, h the way he told the story, like even
off TV he had a grudge against the Lakers.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
It was funny, pretty good, you know, Ben, I had
a terrifying experience yesterday in the Scabi struck. You know
that I thought it was my time yesterday I was.
I dumped it out. I finished my route and I
was going back to the South Show. I was going
back to my yacht there and uh I was empty
(24:32):
and I was doing max feet in the highway about
sixty sixty five miles an hour. I hear a big bang.
One of the front tires blew out, and I thought
for sure I was gonna go over.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I manskt off.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
I was right on the main highway there on ninety three,
and uh I managed to get over. But that was
something that was pretty serious, ben pretty serious.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Thing was rocked like a boat.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
It was rocked like a boat.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Wow, that's that is scary.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I'm glad you're Has that ever happen through I'm glad
you're okay?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Did that ever happen to you before? Is that the
first time I slipped one over?
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Many years ago when I had they had no breaks,
but that was a long time ago. But this one,
it wasn't my fault. The thing to tie it blew
out on it.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You know, Yeah, there's nothing you can do. He can't
do it. I've had I haven't been driving a trash truck,
but I've had tires blow out on when I'm and
it's very scary driving a regular car. Can't imagine in
a trash trash truck. Have you ever had now, let
me ask you this, Danny DeVito, the trash Man of
the Stars, Have you ever had? This happens a lot
(25:34):
out here where people throw stuff away they're not supposed
to throw away, and it'll light the truck on fire.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Has that ever happened?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
There was.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Actually it was one of my friends. He worked a
trash company. He had a prowl on the other day
and he was in a different truck and his truck
caught him fire and he had to push out the
load and a on a main street was over in Quinsy,
I don't you know, it's from Boston, and he had
the load out, so there was it was a big
(26:03):
pock lot, and the whole pock lot caught fire because
of the.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah you got they tell you the yeah, they tell
you to do it right, because that's happened a few
times out here where they have to open up and
the whole streets covered in trash, burning trash, just amazing.
I'm glad, you're I'm glad you're okay.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It happens a lot.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
It happens a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Okay, all right, yeah, we'll be safe out there. Danny
or Celtics are not burning trash.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
They're they're alive.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
So you still got that till fred I thank you,
the the great Danny DeVito.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Where's the beef?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So hasn't even played a game yet, hasn't had any
practice as far as I know, George Pickens, there's already
problems brewing the tabloid reports around George Pickens and Ceedee
Lamb with the Dallas Cowboys. They are not singing Kumbai Yah.
Said to be some behind the scenes issues. I don't
(26:59):
know how much of this you believe, and how much
of this you know you don't believe, but it's out
there that despite the seemingly positive early feedback, behind the scenes,
George Pickens is planning on usurping usurping the incumbent wide
(27:20):
receiver in CD LAMB. But ceed he got paid, so
we'll see how that goes. Would be fun for talk radio,
so we're all about it. And how about Joe Burrow,
who people are interpreting is very upset with the Bengals.
He was supposed to talk to the media, He delayed
his media availability and The belief is he's upset he
(27:42):
postponed his media availability because he would have said the
thing he can't say at the time. He can't say it.
Regarding Trey Hendrickson and his contract situation, the Bengals deciding
to pay the wide receivers, but they didn't have any
money left for Trey Hendrickson, so now he wants to
be traded and Burrow deciding to not talk to the
(28:05):
media right away. One person that has no problem talking
to the media is Blind Scott, who's always there this hour.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
This is like the.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Hour of Blind Scott in Boston. Hello, Blind, I got Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
I think I'm gonna die all the time. I'll be
using my cane trying to cross the three and I'm
scared that a car is going to hit me, and
I'm just praying that the cane touches the curb so
I make it across safely. Des time. That's a Team
Sears Union twenty five that Danny Devino. Dandy Devino worked for.
You know, I've lived in the North End since and
I need sa maafia. I got all those people those jobs.
You know, we can say that perfectly. Fine, it's no
(28:40):
big deal, you know, what I'm saying. I had a
no show job. I worked in the Big Dig. I
was with some of the biggest rock hooster those from
members from the United States working in the Big Dig.
They're all so old now they can't say nothing. You
can say whatever you want about them now, you know
what I'm saying. They did good for the community, but
they got garbagemen making two hundred thousand dollars a year
in Boston and I got to pay like ten thousand
(29:02):
a year from my real estate tax is you know
when I'm a socialist to them on Glenn Beck all
the time, Ben Glenn Beck gives me more airtime than you.
I do this call to Glen Beck where I say
I'm a disabled person, I'm outspoken, and they treat me
like the play You know what I mean. Nobody advocates
for me. I'm a blind person that needs a lot
of accommodations. I can't even use a guide dog right
now because I'm so politically outspoken. I'm doing amazing things.
(29:25):
I live in the North End. A lot of people
dislike me because I'm outspoken. Those New York Nicks fans,
they're not even listening. Now that's on in the Tri
State area. The guy that competes against Ben Overnight is
terrible on that station. He is about garbage. He is
wicked bad garbage. You know what I mean. I'm calling.
I'm doing like twenty five radio calls a week. I know,
the head reporter for WBZ News, Christina rexceeds you to
(29:48):
even come down and interview me. I was operating a
can of black spray paint earlier spray painting over this
political sign, and the fumes came all up in my nose.
I gotta like figure out how to do that. You know,
you need to put like a detached on it.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
But can you take a breath? Can you take a break.
There's no pause, you don't pause, you just keep going.
I'm giving you airtime. You can pause. You don't have
to like try to get it all in in like
a minute. What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (30:15):
I'm going to Hyennas with Mike de Leprechhn over the
subdery dude. And then there's Justin Cooper and there's Nick Jomelli.
They're both producers, they're both the same height and weight,
and they're both my best friends and they both work
in sports radio.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
You know what I yah, Cooper is justin. Cooper is
your best friend. He always talks about you off the air.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
He's a big You know, I would.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Never go on a cruise, man. The biggest dirt bags
in the world go on cruises. You ever see the
people that come off those cruise boats, Man.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I've never I've never been on a cruise.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
I've never You're not a discussed in human being. That's
why it is so toxic those ships.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
The coop? Is that true, Coop? Or they're disgusting people
on your cruise? Coop? Was it terrible?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
No?
Speaker 8 (30:55):
But I feel like this was definitely a different crowd
than I've seen on PAS cruises.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
The older old Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
I think the average age was probably like sixty eight.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
You see a fight at the buffet line once in
a while, or by the pool or by the elevator.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
No, No, that happens on like the tropical cruises.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Uh, they leave out of New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
There's a port in New Jersey.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
The cheapest way to go on a cruise is to
fly to Houston and just leave directly from there. The
best cruises up in Alaska, where you can go like
a Nordic type of cruise. I'm disappointed that I can't
come to Vancouver. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna run into FEDS
at the porter.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
That's not why why you said you were gonna go
to you now you're now you're backing out.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You're go two weeks away, two weeks away. You got
to go to mom.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
My mom was in the one hundred and first Airborne,
the Screaming Eagles. She was a civilian for a general.
She said that they could question me when I'm coming
back into the country and maybe not let me into
the country. And if she's saying that, I'm worried about it,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
But why would they not let you back into the country.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
What have you done so against the government?
Speaker 7 (32:01):
You I have two legal names right now that I
am trying. I'm trying to get it worked out. I
could have said politically, you know, everything's gone. I'm trying
to push the government back another way. Now I'm not
going to go into another country and they say, oh,
we've got a blind Scott. They photographed me at some
of these protests and identified me there because I hold
a mobility chane. So I can't even vote them anymore.
(32:22):
I just don't want any trouble. You know, I want
to be on the Ben Mallishaw.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I don't want you. You're you're you're saying you're a paranoid.
You're worried that something that is going to happen.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
Yeah, I'm worried.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I'm worried about.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
A lot of things now, you know, I'm always.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Worried about stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I need a new guide dog.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
I need a guide dog school to accommodate me with
a guide dog. Right now, they won't even do that.
But but if I could push the political climate the
other way, blind Scott could be president of the United
States of America.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you, all right, go away.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
And I don't have a problem with trash people making
a lot of money. I I don't want to do
that job. If you are willing to do that, like
that's you're dealing with other people's strengths. And if you
don't think that's an important job, have the trash people
go on strike for a couple of weeks and not
pick up the trash and see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Good luck on that, yeah, not so not so good.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
It is the Ben mal Show. We need some judges
we are moments away from fact or fiction. I didn't
want to mention though, Coop, there is a job open
the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
This is so funny.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
The Lakers are now Yeah, they are searching for a
new strength and.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Conditioning coach, head strength and conditioning coach. They posted the.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Job online and the team is offering two hundred thousand
to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year to
motivate Luca to work out, and it says I will
take this job.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
You should apply.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
It says part of the position's responsibility is to motivate
the players.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
I'm great at motivation, raw raw, team and all that.
Faster faster.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Oh, this is so good, This is so great. They
guys say legally had to post the job. Does that
mean they posted it because they legally have to do
it or be nobody.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Wanted the job because they know that's a dead end job.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
They definitely have to do it legally. But like I
was kind of shocked to see the salary.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
To be honest, what did you think they were going
to pay? That's it. They can't pay everyone a ton
of money, right, No.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
I think that's a it's a good job. Yeah, I'm
surprised it's that much. That's That's what I'm saying. I
thought that was a lot because it's just the strength
and conditioning.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Right. Yeah, but you got to live.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
In LA, right, but I mean South Bay of LA
which is very expensive to live in.
Speaker 8 (34:38):
That just makes me wonder, like how much was like, uh,
you know, how much is the head athletic trainer making millions? Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, I used to know. I don't I don't know know.
And they're doing well though they're doing well. Yeah, you
think probably around a million. I would think close to it.
There's no salary cap on those jobs.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Hey, so if you want the Laker job, if you
working a gym somewhere, just apply, maybe we'll hire you.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
You can tell Luca.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
To run laps and tell Lebron that he needs to
work out more, and yeah, good luck on That is

Speaker 2 (38:15):
And by the way, justin cins and I says blind

against the Cardinals will honor Pope Leo. It'll be his
Bobblehead Night, where the first ten thousand fans will receive
