Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yep, that's right. You heard the man, the Ben Mallor
show keeves for Roland right along. I am not Ben Mallar,
I am not Kim Kardashian, I am not Archie billing
the drills. My name is Bernie Frona. We are coming
to line from the tarat dot com studios here in
Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio tarrec dot com. We'll help
you get there, and I matched selection fast free shipping

(00:20):
for your Roodazid protection and over ten thousand recommended installers
tyrec dot com the way tire buying should be. Well,
we've come to that juncture in the show you Know
You Love You, you can't live without it, the dance Sensation
Sweep of the Nation, and see we like to well.
As Jogi Berra once said, you can observe a lot

(00:42):
by watching, and that's exactly what we do. Because across
this great land of ours, from sea to oily sea,
people engage in activities. Sometimes they're just silly and innocuous
and stupid, and other times they're a little bit more serious.
And many times they run a foul the law. They
can even land you in jail. But anyway you slice it,

(01:02):
any way you characterize it anyway you describe it. These
behaviors that we observe, they always leave us scratching our
head and asking ourselves, what kind of brand new fool
are you?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
So?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
What kind of brand new fool are you?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well? That's right, and tonight on this this morning, on
this Veterans Day, Monday, eleven eleven, and we thank our veterans.
We are the land of the free because of the brave.
You are not brand new fool. But I'll tell you
who is. I'll tell you who is. We take it

(01:43):
to Yakima, Washington. Now you heard me cracking on DeVante
Adams earlier in the show, very well deserved. Well, the
one thing he's done this year that is five week
hamstring injury didn't prevent him from doing, was Tucko Bill commercials. Yeah,
they suck almost as bad as his playing. But I
love Taco Bell. Who doesn't love Taco Bell? Especially a
guy in Yakima, Washington. We'll call him Dave because his

(02:07):
name is Dave, thirty years old. And you know he
was looking for that fourth meal and you know, need
a little nash. Maybe he wanted to drop a Chloupa
down his gullet. But let me tell you, Dave got
a little ticked off and ended up finding himself facing
the following charges drive by shooting, harassment, malicious mischief, driving

(02:30):
under the influence, and a concealed weapon violation. Now what
the sam hill is going on here? According to these
court documents, well, about one am, check that two am
the other night, mister Dave pulls up to a Taco
Bell in Yakima, and he says, I want to order
some food. After the man told mister Dave Taco Bell

(02:53):
was closed, according to the employees recollection, the driver came
quote immensely upset, screaming that he would break the windows
if they didn't serve him food, sped off in his
flatback truck. Then he turned around, came back, started pounding
on the front doors of the restaurant, saying he was

(03:13):
going to break in. Left again and lo and behold,
guess what this guy's consistent. All of a sudden, the
pickup flatbeck comes by again and he fires shots at
Taco Bell, real shots. Well, the employee called nine to
one one to say, you know they were being shot

(03:35):
at and this was no joke. The police swung into action.
They were quickly able to locate the pickup and detained
driver mister thirty year old David Yes. And Inside the truck,
the police said they found a six hour nine milimeters
pistol with a loaded magazine and a bullet chambered in
the center console. By the way, they also found another
loaded twenty two pistol in a pocket just behind the

(03:57):
driver's seat, and just for fun, a glock nine millimeter
pistol with an empty magazine in the rear passenger seat
underneath an assortment of clothing which this guy live out
of his car. Police also said they found two spent
nine milimeter casings on the front windshield and multiple showcasings
or live bullet rounds in the center console. Officers then
investigated the Taco bell store said they found a bullet

(04:19):
hole in the biling and there was a second grazing
round on an exterior wall. They also found nine millimeter
shows casing on the ground near where the pickup was parked.
Mister Sharp, all he wanted to do is have a chilupa.
Now he's facing charges of drive by shooting, DUI harassment,
malicious mischief, and violation of a concealed pistol license. Oh no,

(04:46):
no word yet on how DeVante Adams, who apparently has
a taco bell in his home, feels about this. But
mister David of Yakima, Washington, who needed the taco bell, nash,
what kind of brand new full?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Are you.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
All right? That now enables us to segue into our
second favorite bit, something we lovingly refer to as what
my name? And here's where we bring in the crew
and have a little fun. All right, here we go,
Eddie will start with you. As an NFL quarterback, I've
lost more games in the last ten year period than

(05:25):
any other NFL quarterback, Eddie Garcia, what my name?

Speaker 4 (05:30):
I'm sorry? Was this? He said? Current quarterback?

Speaker 1 (05:32):
He's a current quarterback, that would be a clue.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Let's go with Daniel Jones.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Not bad, but I don't think Dan's been in the
league full ten years. But that's still a damn good guess. Okay,
don't forget to stop watch ERNA just.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Saying I just brain all.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's all all to the good. I'm appreciative the way
the crew does such a great job on this bit.
As an NFL quarterback, current quarterback, I've lost more games
in the last ten year period than any other quarterback
currently a total of eighty seven. By the way, Justin Cooper?
What my name? Uh is it?

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Derek Carr?

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Not sleep?

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Done?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Help yourself? Did some petty cash? Cookies out of petty cash?
All right? This week in nineteen ninety one, I announced
my retirement from the National Basketball Association. Have you been
diagnosed with HIV? Lorena Peterson? What my name?

Speaker 6 (06:33):
Oh goodness, come o J Simpson.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
It is, in fact OJ Simpson after a decorated in
the NBA.

Speaker 6 (06:44):
I can't believe I got that.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Well, yeah, I thought it was a pretty goodffort. Did
you have a different thought on that, Coop? Was it's
something different than my wrong?

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Magic?

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Johnson?

Speaker 1 (06:51):
How old? Wait? An you to talk amongst yourselves? Okay, wait,
I'll wait. I'll just hit this. I'll just sit this
one out. I'll just sit this one out.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
I gave you a layup?

Speaker 1 (07:00):
You awhere? Is that a baseball term? All right?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Moving along, folks, No.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I haven't been drinking. Maybe I should be. I still
hold the NFL record for most receiving yards in an
NFL game, total three hundred and thirty six. Eddie Garcia,
What my name?

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Calvin Johnson.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Damn good guess he came close. It wasn't him, wasn't him.
But that's a damn good guess. I still hold the
NFL record for most receiving yards in an NFL game
with three hundred and thirty six. Now it happened back
in nineteen eighty nine, and he's got a very distinctive nickname, Coop.
What my name?

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Well, you threw me off with that hint. I actually
got it. Now with that hint, I.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Don't know, Eddie, you want to do the honors?

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Is? I can't Now I'm blanking on his first name.
But Flipper Anderson.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
It is, in fact Willie Flipper Anderson out of UCLA.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Nicely done, nicely done, Good job, Eddie.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Thank I.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Still hold the single season record among all NFL quarterbacks
for the highest single season passer rating average. Now we've
mentioned his name a lot tonight on the show, Lorena Peterson,
what my name?

Speaker 6 (08:28):
Oh goodness, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Patrick Mahomes, not Patrick Mahomes all you think so?

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Now, the reason we're bringing this up because right now,
Lamar Jackson's on a pace to defeat it. But he's
got a ways to go. All right, I hold the
single season record among all NFL quarterbacks in history for
the highest single season passer rating Eddie Garcia. What my name?

Speaker 5 (08:52):
Well, the only quarterback I can think about that we've
talked about is Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Dam there you go. It is, in fact Aaron Rodgers. Yeah,
he had a hell of a yard. I want to
say it was like twenty eleven. He I mean, he
had the entire season his passer and he was like
one twenty two point seven or something. And right now,
if the season were to the end of day, Lamar
Jackson would actually eclipse that, which is also the reason
I brought up Willie Flipper Anderson because just the other

(09:18):
night Jamar Chase got within about forty yards. I think
of beating Flipper Anderson's rerec. I don't know if it's
ever gonna be broken, ever gonna be broken. Let's flip
to a little college basketball as the season is now underway.
I am the first duke player in history to score
thirty points in each of my first two games as

(09:40):
a duke. Blue Devil. Coop what my name, it's.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
A Cooper flag Man.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Nicely done. You guys are on Europe's and q's tonight. Wow,
nicely done? All right, lit curveball here. We just saw
the Los Angeles Dodgers win a World Series, very well deserving.
They were the far better team in my opinion. And
we saw Freddie Freeman, very well deserving capture the MVP.

(10:12):
I'm the only Fox Sports radio hosts on the entire
network who also attended the same high school as Freddie
Freeman and also played baseball. Eddie Garcia, what my name?

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Trying to remember? Where is Freddie Freeman from?

Speaker 5 (10:30):
Is he?

Speaker 1 (10:30):
I think Orange County from?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
I'll say Bernie Fratto is.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
In fact Bernio. Nicely done, Eddie, Wow, look at you
a little self for Grandez in question?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
For me?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yes, I did play baseball. All right, Well we go along.
This will be a good one for you. Trivia Buffs.
I just this last week, Derrick Henry scored his eleventh touchdown,
which now gives him seven consecutive seasons with double digit touchdowns.
I'm actually the last running back in the National Football

(11:02):
League to go seven straight seasons with double digit touchdowns.
Loreena Peterson What my name?

Speaker 6 (11:10):
I don't know why this name is on the tip
of my tongue.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
It starts with an L.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
It's like mine, Ladanian Tomlinson's.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's a really actually a very good guess. It's not
Ladanian Tomlinson. Though, not Ladanian Tomlinson. That sucks for him,
I guess. Uh now, Derrek Kenton, Okay, so Derrek Henry
just got his eleven touchdown last week. Seven seasons in
a row, he's had double digit touchdowns. But I'm actually
the last running back to go seven straight seasons with

(11:42):
double digit touchdowns. Coop, what my name?

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Well, seeing as I fed Loraina the Ladanian Tomlinson answer,
tell the people, Uh, that's who I thought it was.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I mean, uh, Adrian Peterson.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Bam, Adrian Peterson.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
You guys are just showing off off now wrong on purpose.
You made me.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
What I thought I thought it was that team boom
Coop boo.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's all fun until someone loses an eye. Okay, I
let's go back to college college football. Hello, everybody, Keith
Jackson gonna be a real bomb burner. So I've thrown
more touchdown passes in my college career than any other
quarterback in NCAA history. Edigar Ceu, what my name?

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Just happened this weekend, just broke the record again.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Lord, then I really don't know who it is. Uh boy,
with all these quarterbacks that can now play like seven years.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
He transferred, of course, of course, of course they all do.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's the law.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Man. Oh, I don't think I'm gonna get this one.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
You've already taken too much time.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Then all right, we got some good reference. This is good.
I like this.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
I like this.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
It's all in good fun, it's all healthy. We kid
because we can't.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Is it the kid from Oregon?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh? Can you mention his name?

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Gabriel?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
His first name rhymes with a famous rock star. He
sounded like he had gravel in his voice, and we
are weird the world. You got it, Dylan Gabriel. We're
gonna give it. The judges will allow you got it.
You got the last man.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
You got the college Dylan impression.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
I've been working on it. Yeah, all I need is
dog I got a good act. Oh my goodness, gracious.
All right, Well, Dylan Gabriel set the record most touchdown
passes in a college career one hundred and seventy nine.
But he actually broke my record, justin Cooper, what my name?

(14:14):
He played at Houston, University of Houston, very checkered career
in the National Football Anybody can blurt it out if
you got it.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
I don't know. Is it case Keenum?

Speaker 1 (14:26):
It is, in fact case Keenum. Nicely done, Eddie, nice
league done.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
You're like a sports master, Eddie. I am thank you.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Wow, okay, I'm an agreement. All right. I'm the only
quarterback in National Football League history to have lost to
thirty one different teams. Wow, in my NFL career.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Now you're just picking on this guy.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Go ahead, Eddie, you got the Can I do it? Yes? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (14:57):
Is it Aaron Roger?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Not Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Who is the other Quarterbacke we already mentioned.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Go ahead, Eddie, take you honored Scott's Derek Carr.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Car. It's in fact Derek Carr, and I might be
picking on him. I and count of Luke wore him on.
Derek Carr. He's sixty three and seventy nine, is a
raider and the dead cat bounce game. So finally when
it doesn't matter, Look, God bless the guy, all that
good stuff. But look, you know, come on now, all right,
let's finish with one more. And I know Eddie Garcia

(15:31):
is going to get this one. This is, in fact,
in honor of Eddie Garcia. This week in nineteen fifty nine,
I became the first ever National Hockey League goalie to
don a face mask. Let me try that again. In English,
it is not called face mask, It's called face mask.
Eddie Garcia. What my name?

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Jacques plant Dam.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Nicely done that strong. Hey, you guys killed it man,
especially early. I'm so impressed. I'm so impressed, and I
appreciate the banter going back and forth. We're like a
family heading into the holiday season. It's just happy to
be here. Coming up. I'll tell you who else is

(16:16):
happy to be here, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Hey laugh, laugh,
clown laugh. As a society, we've been infatuated with gladiator
sports at the beginning of time. We're going to talk
about this fight. It's finally here, although there are some
cynics who think it might not go on. But I
want to get everybody's thoughts. We'll do that after the
bottom of the hour, after Reddy's update, I want to
bring in the crew to talk about Jake Paul versus

(16:38):
Mike Tyson. Friday night, Netflix.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 5 (16:51):
The Ben Malor Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on x in
for Ben Mallor. It's Bernie Fratto. He's at Bernie Fratto
and you could post that and follow our technical producer
playing this music way too early.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Her first name is Lorraine No.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
She is our technical producer, plays all the music and
she's at FSR tech Queeniness. She needs to be dethroned
after this song and out lie from the tyraq dot
Com Fox.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
Sports Radio Studios. It's Bernie Fratto.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
You know that, Moniker, Thanks Eddie. All I want is you.
All I want for Christmas is you. I'll tell you
who the hell that might apply to, Mike Tyson and
Jake Paul think what you want. But next Friday on Netflix,
in front of God and everybody, this deal's going off.
And by the way, it's officially a sanctioned fight, which

(17:52):
means it will count against what it will count on
the records and even though Mike Tyson has not had
a sanctioned fight since thousand and five, when he lost
to Peter McNeal, he's fifty and six in his career.
Jake Paul currently ten and one with seven knockouts, Mike
Pyson Tyson forty four knockouts, and when asked about the fight,

(18:13):
in addition to saying it's a quote dream come true,
Jake Paul said that when he was asked about the
fight whether people think it'll be a fake fight, or
a dull fight or a stage fight, Paul minced no
words on social media by saying the following quote, somebody
is getting knocked the f out the end end quote. Maybe.

(18:39):
But Mike Tyson has also gone on to say that
his aim is to quote hurt this young man. We
don't know what the result is going to be. But
see that's the thing. People have been infatuated with gladiator
sports since the beginning of time. So you can make
fun of this, you can think this is just some

(18:59):
sort of goofy thing, But I've trained, I've been in
the ring, I've had three unsanctioned fights. It's I have
immense respect for anybody that would do this and I
want to see what's gonna happen here. Okay, Will someone
really get hurt? Is it gonna hurt the sport? Hell no,
it only it brings eyeballs to the sport. Boxing has
been in the doldrums forever. You can't even name who

(19:22):
the heavyweight champ is, or you can't do that anymore.
Long gone with the days or Sugar Ray Leonard and
Roberto Durant and Muhammad Ali and George Foreman and even Evander.
You get it. Okay, people, I think will end up
watching the fight. We don't know what we're gonna get,
but you want to see it. Tyson is one of
the greats of all time, but you don't know what

(19:43):
he is. At fifty eight, he was a wrecking machine
of a fighter. It's not all the rum up possibility
he gets beat. Jake Paul is actually the betting favorite
here in Las Vegas minus two fifty. If Tyson gets beat,
people aren't gonna deal with it. Well, if Tyson gets hurt,
they won't deal with it.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
Well.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
All the sanctimonious people that say this fight stupid and
he's too old. No, no, he just let it happen.
I think the fights on the level. It is a
bit of a staged moneymaker. We talked about that earlier
with a certain laker who's not an NBA player. Hey,
that's the world we're in, man. P T. Barnhum said
it best. There's an ass for every seat and people

(20:24):
will pay. And I've maybe been guilty of that right.
So we'll see what happens if both fighters bring their
a game and come into the ring with bad intentions.
And I know I've seen Tyson on film here he
looks pretty fast and pretty explosive, and some of the
footage that he's released to allow people to see in training,

(20:46):
but at other times and by the way he saw
Tyson wearing a knee Brice, I got to tell you,
footwork in boxing is incredibly huge. Sports called boxing, not punching.
You've got to be able to slip and roll and
move side to side improved. He could do that against
Roy Jones Junior four years ago. Now people question whether
Jake Paul can really fight. He can fight, Okay, you

(21:10):
don't think So'll get in a ring with him. He
loads up that right hand, and if I gotta tell you,
if Tyson does get him, I envisioned this Paul loads
up that right hand. He's gonna want to knock Tyson out.
Tyson's gonna want to knock him out too long In
the fight goes, it favors Jake Paul. Paul loads that
right hand up and doesn't catch Tyson like he caught
Tyrone Woodley twice, and Tysan's able to slip out of

(21:32):
it a roll, come back with a counter to the
body in the head. It's good night, Arrogan, and I
think he'll put Jake Paul to sleep. I'm not predicting that.
I don't know what's going to happen. You just don't
know until they get into the rings. Tyson said, everybody's
got a plan that they got hit. You know what,
you prepare a game plan. You prepare for the one
before the fight, You prepare for the one when the
fight goes on, and you make adjustments, and then afterward

(21:54):
you talk about the game plan you wish you would
have prepared. So eight two minute rounds. Neither fighter is
gonna wear headgear. We'll see they're fourteen ounce gloves. There
are as many cynics out there as critics and say
the fight's too dangerous. Other fights think it's a situation,
it's been scripted. I don't know. I want to bring
in the crew and see what they think. Well they
watch it, do they have a rooting interest? What was

(22:18):
their impression?

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Not?

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Everybody's done with this. I am, but I'm not everybody.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
All right, Eddie Dyline. Friday November fifteenth, Mike Tyson, Jake
Paul Hey two minute Rounds Jerry Dome at and T
Stadium in Arlington, Texas. They believe there'll be sixty thousand
people there to witness a fight card including seven fights,
with of course, the main event being Mike Tyson, Jake

(22:49):
Paul Eddie, give me your thoughts. Take it anywhere you want?
What you watch? Do you care? Do you have a
rooting interest? Take it away, Eddie.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
It's on Netflix, correct Netflix? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (23:00):
I do have Netflix, so that helps greatly the chances
that I might watch. Honestly, it depends on what plans
my wife has for us. If we're not doing anything, Uh,
I might tune in, but it's not something I'm counting
down to. It's not something I'm all that excited about

(23:21):
if I remember and I'm not doing anything, I'll tune in.
That's that's my that's my take on. I don't have
any rooting interest.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
I guess I wouldn't mind seeing Mike Tyson knock this
guy out. I don't really have any like for uh whatever,
whatever Paul brother it is.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
I don't even know what. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
I'm not saying like, I respect anybody that gets into
the ring with another man, they have my respect. Whether
he's a real fighter or not, I don't know. I
haven't seen him fight. I've seen some highlights here and there,
but uh so you're there, you go. I'm not that
excited about it. I might watch it.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
You know.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
He did fight Tommy Fury, Tyson's younger brother, and Fury
made fun of and after the fight was over, he goes, man,
I'm sorry what I said. You're not what I thought
you were. If you'd taken up boxing and six years old,
you'd be a top ten ranked fighter. That's with Tommy
Fury's opinion. You bring up a couple of good points.
As a kind of a casual observer. The reason I

(24:15):
just can't miss this is because look, I had a
group of people at my house when I was in
Michigan in nineteen ninety seven. That's when I was with
the CBS radio and we saw Tyson bite Holly Field's
are not once but twice, and I'm like, did I
just see that? We're all talking about it. And if
I was at the water cooler the following Monday and

(24:37):
somebody was trying to describe it to me, it just
I had to see it to believe it. Same situation
when Roberto Duran fought Sugar Ray Leonard the second time,
I was still an intern at the Forum and they
had it on close circuit TV and he did the
no mos, no moss. But wait, did that really happen?
So should something crazy happen that night? I want to

(24:59):
see it live, as opposed to having somebody try to
describe it to me and saying darn, And I knew
I should have watched it. But to your point, look,
I get it. You probably get beer fish to fry,
whatever that may be.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
I hear you.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
I don't know the main event will go off much
before I want to say, eight o'clock Pacific, but you
never know. These things have a tendency. You're dragging out
fair enough. Eddie Coop, what are your thoughts on Tyson
versus Jake Paul.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'm kind of like Eddie where normally these type of things,
I mean, I guess I am more interested because it's
technically not an exhibition, right, it's it's extention.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Fight is actually gonna count toward their records, their boxing records.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, yeah, so I mean that, you know that brings
up the interest level for me. I would love to
see Mike Tyson knock him out. And the fact that
it's on Netflix means I will watch it. I would
never pay for it.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, you don't have I mean, if you've got Netflix,
and this is the first time I think Netflix has
had a live sporting event memory serves and so you
know you can find it. It's modified eight two minute rounds.
This is are there three minute rounds? I do think
that favors Tyson. On my Friday Night show, I had
coach Paulie Meyer Keene, He's a retired featherweight.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I believe this is the second live is it Okay
was under a football game before unfinished Beef Joey chestnutt
versus Come Standing.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yes, good call. That was in November, yes or not November?
That was it Labor Day weekend? Right, yeah, yeah, because
we talked about July. Yeah yeah, yeah, good and we'll
call that a sporting good good good catch there, Coop.
But what I was gonna say is, uh I had
coach Pauliemira Kine. He owns Artist Boxing here in Las Vegas,

(26:50):
and I've trained with coach. He's a great guy. He's
fourteen and two, is a retired featherweight. His official prediction
was he thought Tyson would knock out Jake Paul in
the second run because Paul would have never seen this
kind of power. He did fight Jake Paul fought Tyrone
Woodley twice and he's an MMA fighter, striker, different style,
and that's no picnic, Okay. He put Jake Paul put

(27:13):
Tyrone Wooley to sleep twice, and Woodley caught him in
the first fight flush and he shook Jake Paul. But
Jake Paul ate the punch and continued to fight and
ended up winning. And I asked coach if if Tyson
catches him the same way that that if Tyson catches
Jake Paul the same way that Tyrone Woodley, did you

(27:34):
know he made Paulie Markey made no bones about the
fact that Tyson's punching power is dramatically different and and
and and heavier than, uh than than Tyrone Woodley's. And
of course, uh you know Roy Jones Junior essentially said
the same thing. He said he got hit in his
body was like getting kicked by a mule. Again, that

(27:55):
was four years ago. It was four years ago, but
it's still it's still Mike Tyson. And when you have
the kind of experience that Tyson hans, he just says
he simply has a skill and a DNA that will
never leave him that Jake Paul would never have in
this lifetime. It's just a fact. Lurana, You've got the
last word on Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson. Your thoughts.

Speaker 6 (28:16):
I'm really nervous about this, Bernie, because I don't like
elder abuse, and it makes me really uncomfortable the idea
that you know, there could be a serious issue up
there with mister Mike Tyson, like he's just.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Not who he used to be.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
And Jake Paul, although he may not be the fighter
that Mike Tyson was in his heyday, he's like, what,
thirty years younger than him.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Not close. He's twenty. Yeah, Jake Paul, I think it's
like thirty five and Tyson fifty eight.

Speaker 6 (28:49):
Yeah, I just I just, you know something about that
elder abuse doesn't sit well with me.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
He as you know, Tyson is getting into the ring
out of his own volition. He knows exactly.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
Yeah, of course, because he can't look like a big
old boob.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Duh.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
It's all because he's he didn't wake up on Dan
and go, you know what, I want to fight Jake Paul. No,
Jake Paul was like, I'm going to fight Mike Tyson.
And then he's like I could beat him, and then
what's what's he gonna say? No, I don't want to
do that because I'm going to get beat No. And
then he needed an extension. I don't know if he
needed an extension.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
No.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
No.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
Months ago.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yes, it was supposed to happen July twentieth, so it
was announced him. But let me tell you what happened.
It was announced in March. February March. I talked about
it on my Friday show, and I had people, oh,
this is never gonna happen, and then when it got delayed,
people say, see I should Yeah, it wasn't gonna happen,
but that Mike Tyson was on a flight and he
had an ulcer situation which happened.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
He's old, you know, and I don't know if it was.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Related to age or not, but it happened, and they
had to delay to fight four months. And look, help
me out, peeps. What's the country song? What's the song
where I'm not as good as I once was but
once I'm as good as I ever was. Who's the
country star that said that? Okay, whatever, that's what I
get for, not for throwing that out there, but that
was a song. The question is for one night, Ken Tyson?

(30:10):
Do can he be Mike Tyson? Right? Woody Allen said
it best. Nostalgia is a trap, and people it's like, God,
would you like to see Mike Tyson in the ring
one more time? No, not a lot of people would.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
For the reasons you just mentioned exactly.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
And then there's people like me, Yeah, I'm here for it.
I want to see it. I want to see what happens.
And they're both getting paid, and the hype is there,
and even though the beauty of you know. I've always
said when I do my minut hour calls on Friday Night,
the most boring conversations are when everybody agrees and nobody's
in agreement on this one. Some thinks the fight should
go on, some things the fight should have never happened.

(30:48):
Some think it still won't happen. Other say, no, they're
making too much money, they're gonna do it. Tyson knows
what he's doing. I do think people have severely underestimated
Jake Paul. I've said that since he ever stepped in
the ring. He's got power. Maybe not the greatest defensive
boxer ever seen, but he's got the heart of a
champion lion. He's crazy, which never hurts. He's smarter than

(31:09):
people think, and he shut up everybody.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
You know.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
He started out fighting some YouTube guy that was a
complete joke. Then he fought Nate Robinson, an NBA player.
People say he can't fight a professional athlete. He made
Nate Robinson look silly. Then he started fighting MMA fighters.
Everybody's saying, well, watch you fight a real boxer, because
none of them would fight him. And Tommy Fury, Tyson
Fury's younger brother, who had already had seven professional fights.

(31:32):
He's a very polished fighter. Tommy Fury had a superb jab.
He was more polished than Jake Paul. That was Jake
Paul's first ever fight with a professional because no one
else would fight him. Tommy Fury had had seven fights
and the first three guys he fought had a combined
record of like five and one hundred and fifty. They
usually do that. Tommy Fury made fun of him, Jake
Paul made fun of him when they got in the ring.

(31:54):
After it was over, there was tremendous mutual respect. That
showed me something. So look, I'll go back to the beginning.
We've come circle. As a society, we have been infatuated
with gladiator sports since the beginning of time, and this
is no different. Like it, hate it, think it's fixed,
think it's fake. I don't give these guys some respect.

(32:14):
They're gonna put on a show and some people will
act like they won't watch it, but most likely they will.
Coming up, we wrap up the show, and I'd like
to share with you the wonderfulness of flying the friendly
skies of Auburn basketball. You're gonna want to hear this.
I'm Bernie Frattle, We are coming to live from the

(32:36):

Speaker 1 (33:16):
All right, thanks Eddie. Before I go any further this
evening this morning, depending on your perspective, I thank the
broadcast team back in Los Angeles. It's been with me
since eleven pm Pacific time on Sunday night. Our technical

(33:38):
producer Lorena Peterson, our executive producer Coop, Justin Cooper, and
of course Manning the update desk, the dulce tones of
Eddie Garcia. Thanks team, appreciate it. This is my eighteenth
Ben Malor Show. You guys do an excellent job keeping
the plane off the ground, so to speak, and smoothly

(34:01):
through the air. Good banter on brand new Fulan and
what my name, excellent input tonight on the very subject
matter the holiday pet peeves, you know, Jake Paul versus
Mike Tyson, and of course you know the other subject
matter we had tonight. All good stuff. By the way,
I'll be back on these airwaves in my slot Friday night,

(34:25):
November fifteenth to eleven PM for the Bernie Frattle Show
and by then the Mike Tyson Jake Paul Fight. Barring
anything unforeseen should be a FATA company, and I guarantee
it'll be a topic as well as stupid New York
jets and so on and so forth. All right, speaking
of altercations, a flight carrying the number eleven ranked Auburn

(34:48):
basketball team was grounded shortly after takeoff last Friday. They
were on their way to Houston to play the Cougars.
They ended up making it. They didn't beat Houston. Damn
good number four and Houston Cougar team in Houston seventy
four to sixty nine. This on the heels of beating
Vermont by fifty one, and so Auburn might be pretty good.

(35:11):
And no doubt about it. The rep for the fight
because according to air traffic controllers and audio obtained by
WBRCTV quote, we had two players that got into a
physical altercation that clothes were ripped. Maybe it's just all
part of their training, but I understand allegedly that ESPN
confirmed the in flight scuffle. The flight was broken up

(35:31):
before it became anything serious. And of course the replacement
flight departed Friday night and they made it to Houston.
No word if a movie was shown that was the
movie turned out okay, but not something you see every
day or that then again, maybe you do. Congratulations to
the Auburn Tigers showing like you were tigers on the floor,

(35:51):
off the floor, and certainly in the airways as the
flight was turned around. So it was serious enough to
turn around the damn flight. It's gonna do a for
the Ben Malor Show. Bernie Frattle joining you tonight. Keep
it locked up. Next, Two pros and a cup of
Joe
