Speaker 1 (00:00):
From Wala Walla, Washington to Kalamazoo. It's our number four.
Sunny side up here in our number four. Shaquille O'Neil
has announced that you don't have to play in La
or New York or Chicago. Shaqs dismisses the big market myth,
saying that social media is the market.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Now, is that how this works? Is that how this works?
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Also, bouncing around, we go to football, where wide receiver
Jalen Wattle said this week that he liked what he's
seen from his quarterbacks as to a tongue aboutlawa looks confident,
has a different swag for the Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
How do you assess this one? We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And also Rob Manford officially wants to bring row Bow
umpires robot umpires to baseball.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Does this make you tangle? All that and more? Right now,
it's our number four. Have a wonderful, wonderful Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We're going to market, gonna go to the market, but
not that market, and not that market.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It's the yeah, the one in the yeah, the one
in the back. We're gonna go to that market.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malor show. We are in the air everywhere comrades
in insomnia. That's right, hanging loose and having fun, fun, fun, fun, fun,
coast to coast, port the motor and beyond on the
(01:29):
vast and pleasurably powerful microphones of FSR.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Am monating live.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
From the shelf, from the very top shelf where Mama
hides the cookies, as the Great Rick Jennerette in Buffalo
would say, from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved,
as approved by Chipping the cues and also by Tirak,
this portion of the show made possible by ti Iraq.
For over forty years, ti Iraq has been helping custom
(02:00):
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
That's right, fergy ship, fast and free back by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tire rack dot Com, The Way Tire Buying show me.
So I lead this hour a Hodgepodge. We're not going
(02:21):
to start with the hockey, although we did do the
rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate Malard monologue on hockey,
and you can go back and hear that on the
podcast later on, but he did break it down.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Edmonton they get Game one of the Cup Final.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
But I'll lead this hour is from the great debate
to be or not to be a big fish in
a small, small pond, or would you rather be a
big fish in the ocean. Now, this conversation came up
with Shaquille O'Neil.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Who chimed in.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
The question was about the future of the Greek Free
We mentioned in a previous episode of the show that
we would not be shocked if Jiannis Adentakumbo actually considered
going to Toronto, that that is not a Kakamami story,
that he would do it, and even though there are
going to be people trying to get him to go
with the Lakers or the Knickerbockers, the usual big market teams.
(03:22):
But Shack has entered the chat. What did he say,
I'll tell you so if you didn't here, perhaps not.
Shaq babbeled, babbled and babbled and babbled. He said, big
market doesn't matter. Social media, that's the market now, Shaq said.
He then told his story. He said, back in the
(03:44):
old days, in the nineties, you had to go to
a big market. And I'm paraphrasing some of this, but
he said, quote you go to LA, that's fifty percent
of your contract to taxes thanks to the People's Republic
of California. More pressure, more articles, more stress. And Shaq says,
when I was coming up, market size mattered. That's why
(04:06):
he forced his way out of Orlando. But now every
market is the same. And he was talking about Yiannis.
He said he's making the Supermax. No need for big market.
That is the money quote.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So Jannis, he's.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Not a free bird yet, but he will be a
free bird soon enough, or a free deer and he
can go off into the wild blue yonder. So Shack.
The key parts of this Every market is the same.
Social media is the market. Okay, let's discuss the question.
Shaquille O'Neill, dismissing the long standing fan belief that big
(04:44):
market matters in this case, he said, a big market
myth saying that social media is the market is that
how this works? Is that how this works. So I've
got dystopian society, Alka Seltzer and shingles, and we will
combine all of these things together, and we're gonna make
(05:07):
the Baba Ganouche is what.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We're gonna make.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
The Baba Ganushe so let's get right to the crux
of the matter here. Shaquille O'Neal will call him Shack,
the quack quack quack on this one. In fact, I'm
gonna send Shack to the penalty box a two minute
major for cross checking.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So you're telling me.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
The guy that played in Los Angeles that made movies
and attempted rap music which was horrible, and a guy
that was doing the icy hot, the Pepsi commercials, all
that stuff back in the day, and now he's advocating.
He said, well, you know, if you play in Oklahoma City,
(05:50):
it's the same opportunity, the same.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
World as if you play in New York or Los Angeles.
Because of social media.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
To quote the great Dion Sam, that is bull junk
is what that is, right, It's absolutely not sure. You're
fooling yourself, Shack on the power of the matrix you've
bought in. You've lost track of time. It's like being
in a casino. You don't know what time it is.
You don't know whether it's a day or the night.
You have no idea. It is a dystopian society in
which humanity is unwittingly trapped. Many people trapped in that world.
(06:22):
The world, there's a couple of words that the TikTok world,
the ex world, the Facebook world, all these different worlds,
but they're similar in many respects.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Right, there's some other pop.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Up social media now, and so it's a simulated reality.
It's like a psyop project filled with bots and phony
download numbers and all this stuff. And unless I'm wrong, right,
unless I'm wrong, market, it's still met Shack is completely right.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's not how it works, at least not in my world.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well, it is true that you can get attention in
the social media world social networks from from anywhere, right,
But the spotlight, when you talk about the spotlight, that
day to day pressure, the media, scrutiny, the court of
public opinion. Right, And and that's Shack's advocating to run
(07:16):
away from that.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Now, the tax thing, it's hard to argue with that, right.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Why why would you play in a place where you
do the same job and you have to give away
half your money.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
To do the same job, right, and when.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You can go to another place like Miami where you
don't have to do that, Like, that part of it
I can't push back on. But it's a whole different
animal in a big market and you know, don't give
me the social media levels the playing field, because that
is gar byes is what that is.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's hohuihui.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
No one, no one is going out of the way
to pull up the TikTok of you know, the dudes
on the Utah Jazz or the Charlotte Hornets. When when
you've got the players side by side with the Knicks
or the big market teams, and you need the lights, right,
you need.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
The megaphone, the media megaphone. It still matters. You still
need the drama.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And for all the people that have gotten rich as
Instagram influencers or only fans porn stars, like people made
a lot of money on the internet monetizing it being
an athlete.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Unless you're gonna do porn, you're not. Things are not
going that well.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
For example, like a lot of these the jockoqucy with
the podcast well people that advertise on podcasts have started
to realize most of these athletes are horrific at broadcasting
and there's no one actually listening to these podcasts, like,
and so the money is not the same as I
understand it as it was originally there The venture capital.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The people have realized, what are we doing.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
We might as well just take that money and we
can wipe our tooks with it and then flush it
down the sewer because no one's listening.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
But you need the drama, you need that.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And playing on a big market team there, they're just
more eyeballs, there's more ears, there's more attention.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It's it bleeds.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It's a blood sport and social media is just kind
of a sizzle reel of that.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's what it is now. Furthermore, we change sports. We're
gonna change the lanes.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
We're gonna go to Miami, Miami, Miami, more Ota. June
Sports talk radio chatter from the Sunshine State where wide
receiver Jalen.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Wattle Wattle Wattle Wattle was singing the praises this week.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
He got up there and he started singing and he
was dancing about his quarterback. That's what quarterback Jalen Water,
wide receiver said of his Dolphins quarterback. He's just excited
to play man. He looks confident, coming out with a
different swag. He's got dye and his hair and some
(10:04):
other stuff. Question quarterback tour tongue of my law. According
to Jalen Waddell looks confident. He's confident, he's got a
different swag for the Dolphins. How do you assess this one?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Right? How do you assess this one? So I'll go first.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Uh And this is if you if you look at
the the audio level in radio were called the vo meter,
it's it's cranked up a little more.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
It's it's called off season noise.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And we're talking about these type of stories, which I
call them I hop stories International House of Pancakes. It's
fluffy like fluffy pancakes. These are pure fluff, fluffy, make
fluff fluff fluff. And all you have to do, I'm
convinced all you have to do is show up to
(10:59):
OTA's and wear your bucket hat, your shorts, couple of spirals.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
That's it, all of a sudden, Oh man, never looked better.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Now I get part of this is the Dolphins trying
to convince themselves they've got the guy, because deep down
they know they don't have the guy, despite Tua Tongue
by Lowell putting up big numbers and Jelen Waddell's got
an agenda also, he's known ta for a while. Their
buddies and also the fact that, hey, what better way
(11:35):
to make sure you get the ball than to literally
give a bubble bath to your starting quarterback. But Tua
when things get difficult late in the year, late December
January football, Tua is an Alka Seltzer quarterback. When the
pressure's on, when the weather's cold, he dissolves easily. He
(11:57):
easily dissolves cold weather game done, just like an Alka
Seltzer chemical reaction. That's it, all right, Last thing to baseball,
talking Bay's ball.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, going to baseball.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That is where Rob Manfraud better known by his gangster
name Rob Manford. He is the commissioner, the little guy
that loves changing rules. So Rob Manford officially wants to
bring robo umpires to Major League Baseball, and he's.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Gonna do it next year.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Now, there was a report by Bob Nightingale, which apparently
was wrong, saying that it was going to happen in
twenty twenty seven. Well, now Rob Manford says, ike snay
on that report. A and a different report from Evan Drelich,
who I actually did a radio a couple of radio
shows with in Boston back in the days at the
Athletic he's like a sports business guru guy now used
(12:52):
to be a Red Sox beat reporter back in the day. Anyway,
Rob Manford officially wants to bring robo umpires that system
to Major League Baseball in twenty twenty six. Does that
make get tingle? Does it make get tingled? So my
reaction is more like a like a stretch and like
a yawn, you know, big yond there, And it's it's
(13:13):
kind of like having a case of shingles makeship, makes
you its right, painful, blistering rash. It's it's one of
these things in life, and there's a lot of these things.
It's a it's a bad idea dressed up like progress
and how could you be against this? We like, we
want the calls to be right. We demand the calls
to be right, and you're just you're stuck. You want
(13:35):
a horse and buggy and you're using a typewriter and
a quill pen if you push back on any of this.
But for better or worse, umpires are part of the game.
Are they flawed?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Is it real? It is is it the is it authentic?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And the people that enjoy the sterile element, like you
don't realize where this is headed. And missed calls are
part of the drama, and so can you imagine.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Where You're like, I don't want as much drama. I
don't need as much drama.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Like the whole reason we watch this stuff is because
of the drama.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And you're like, I don't. I'm good, I don't need it.
You know, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I want that sterile, boring nonsense again. I know, jitch
an oldhead. I like the human element I do. And
missed calls are part of the drama. O. Rama, they are,
They're part of the conversation. Baseball has low self esteem.
The players in baseball are mostly boring. They don't do
(14:50):
things that provide fun conversation. Most of what sports talk
radio is today is not about the games. It's about
what goes on around the games. That's what moves the needle,
things that percolate around the game. The games themselves are
are fine, and we'll talk about them if it's a
championship round game. But the day to day minutia of
(15:13):
baseball is so boring, and baseball gets so upset.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
The powers that be.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What don't you talk about our sport like you talk
about the NBA and the NFL, and I don't know it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Could it be because all your people live in Dullsville?
Could it be? And I love baseball.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I watch baseball, and I'm like Pete Rose, I'll bet
on baseball.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
But it doesn't matter. They're boring And this is one
of those things. It's a small thing. Blown call.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Manager loses a gasket, player becomes irate, leads the conversation.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You're trying to get rid of that. You can't fight
with a robot. How do you fight with a robot? Right?
Spoiler alert, here's the kicker.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
There's no true robo umpire because ultimately they're going to
be controlled by people somewhere else who are going to
program the strike zone. So someone is going to decide
what that is on a human level. It's just not
going to be on the field human being. So if
you think there will not be any controversy, I remember
(16:18):
when the NFL added replay Yes I'm getting old, and
people were convinced that that was going to end the debate.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
It didn't end the debate. It was absolute nonsense.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You just start changing moving things around, right, I mean,
you start replacing umpires and also We've talked about this
in previous episodes of the show, and.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I don't think I'm wrong on it. If you, well,
you just being a shock joke, you know, that's what
you're doing the overnight. True.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, okay, So if you start out with robot umpires
out of an abundance of caution, there are so many
pictures that have shredded ligaments in their arms, and their
shoulders are messed up.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
And their elbows are all jacked up.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So out of an abundance of caution, why don't we
just bring in androids will make them human like, and
we'll have them pitch, they'll throw strikes every time, and
then no human beings will ever need Tommy John surgery.
And how can you say no to that? Do you
want to see someone have Tommy John surgery? Are you
a heathen? Are you a bad human being? Do you
(17:22):
not worry about your other human being? Androids would protect that.
How about a AI manager. I feel like we have
AI managers. We just have middle managers. As it's three
ring binders, it's.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Do what the nerds of this Manchurian candidate do what
we tell you.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
You've been programmed where the uniform will pay you a
lot of money, and then some guy that is a
total JABRONI will decide what happened. Why stop with that? Though,
the greatest baseball play by play guy of all time
is the late great Vinsco. That was lucky enough back
before I was outlawed by the Dodgers. I knew Vin,
(18:00):
got to know him a little bit and was a
wonderful part of my broadcast career.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Do you realize that Vin Sculley could call every baseball game?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You could bring Vin Scully back from behind the pearly
gates and make him a hologram and Vin could call
Red Sox games and could call Dodger games at the
same time, in Rockies games and Giants games.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
He grew up a Giants fan. He could call the marriage.
You could have Vin Scully broadcast every game, do play
by play.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
It would be amazing. Maybe the Cubs don't want Vin Scolley.
They can bring back Harry Carey. They can bring him back.
And for me, as someone that is nostalgia loves nostalgia
for my favorite show when I was a kid, Mel
Allen around the majors This week in Baseball and everyone did,
we can bring back, And why would you not want that?
(18:48):
Why would you not want that? It's great now. We
don't need new people. We don't need new broadcasters to
take over. And the other thing about like Rob Manner,
you cannot trust Rob Manford. The guy is a weasel
with a capitol W. He is the guy. Under his
watch the single biggest sports scandal happened.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
And what did Rob Manford do?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
He called the World Series trophy a piece of metal
and failed to punish the cheating Asstros while they.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Cheated during the World Series. That happened under his watch.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And Rob Manford waited until Pete Rose dropped dead then
had to be convinced by President Trump to put Pete
Rose in the Hall of Fame. Couldn't have done it
while Pete was alive. Had to wait till he dropped
dead to put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame.
Why Because Rob Manford's a schmuck. That's why it is
the Ben Mahlor Show. As we are rolling.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Rowland Roland in the overnight. He's been here all night,
early morning hours.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
We have tax dollars, your tax dollars at work. We
will get to that. Also, we have a baseball brew
ha ha. Baseball brew ha ha. Where there was a
on field pushing match that happened prior to a game
on Wednesday. Prior to game on Wednesday, the Angels were
(21:46):
playing the Red Sox at Finway. There was a pregame Donnybrook,
multiple players and coaches. A lot of pushing and shoving
broke out before that day game at Finway. And we
now know the rest of the story. The benches cleared
during not a game, not a game. We talked about practice.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
So it turns out that picture named Tyler Anderson, who had.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
One good year with the Dodgers and then partly that
in the big money with the Angels, and so he
confronted the first base coach of the Red Sox and
then they started.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Shouting and all that, and they were upset.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Because the Angels believe the Red Sox were stealing signs,
but not the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Way Now, Alex core knows about stealing signs.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
He was part of the cheating Astros. But the the
video was captured on a cell phone and people were
going crazy. Here was actually I think broadcast on television.
Also as the video was out, there was I guess
it deleted for some reason. Tyler Anderson went up to
(22:57):
the Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores, and they
got into it and essentially, F you, no, F you?
Then h third, third man in, third man in the
Angels pitching coach came in, so then F you and
they were all pointing at each other and no, no,
(23:17):
I mean I mean it more and uh, you know,
angry and all that stuff and some hot baseball talk.
That's what Ron Washington said. What I can tell you
is base is baseball talk. He said things happen like that.
I don't know what else to say. There's no grudge,
blah blah blah blah blah. The old school Ron Washington,
(23:38):
who must feel like a total dinosaur. He must walk
around to baseball stadium Ron Washington and feel like t Rex.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Like what am I doing here. Everyone else is a nerd.
Everyone else is just and here.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I'm Ron Washington, old school baseball guy from like the seventies.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
And it's like, what is going on? Anyway, We'll take
your calls.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I need my board to be refreshed on that eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number eight
seven seven nine nine six sixty three six y nine,
And we'll take your calls. Also, want to mention your
tax dollars at work, your tax dollars at work. Congratulations
to the Cleveland Browns who threaten to leave downtown Cleveland
(24:20):
and go out to the suburbs, and so of course
it appears they're going to get what they want. The
state of Ohio going to fork over and estimated six
one hundred million dollars in taxpayer money for the Browns
because that's, you know, that's what the Browns need. They
(24:43):
have rarely put a competitive theme on the field, the
factory of sadness.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
The Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
They are very very close to get six hundred million
dollars in state funding so they can put together a
two point four or.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Billion dollar venue and then.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Raise prices to obscene amounts of money to get their
customers to buy to watch a bad product.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So there, wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Let's go on the phones,
and who do we have her? Eenie Meani, Miny Moe.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Let's say hello to Mike the lepre Kahn, who I'm
told is a big star. Somebody sent me a message
said Michael Leprecaun is a massive star in Boston. He
is a trumendous celebrity. I did not realize you were
a big deal. I had no idea.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I'm a tiny fish in a large old semi.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
I can with those.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Congratulations and my seat to say hi as well.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
During the background, bland Scott.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
You know what blad Scott needs. She needs to get
one of those ambulance kissing lawyers. That's what I would
suggest for him.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I would argue that he already has that. I would
argue that blind Scott a favored client of ambulance chasing lawyers.
How about that he.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Needs something I would I would never go. I would
go kinny dipping ahead of streaking, because if he s creaked,
you're going to get arrested, right, which I can't afford.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, it depends who barges are you could have. You
could afford it. Sometimes you get arrest. It's not very much, Okay.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Anthony from Louisiana, he was that wash.
Speaker 1 (26:25):

Sox give the illusion of contention.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Is that what you're saying? They give the illusion of contention.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
I one hundred percent agree with you on that take,
because they simply, uh, they're putting a half decent product
on the field and they're not so as just said,
the trade deadline is coming up, I think they'll be selling.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
That's a bull take. So the Red Sox were under
five hundred, you think that will lead them to be sellers.
That's a bull take. All right, I thank you, mister Leprecaun.

him upset? Didn't he seem upset? He seems sad. He
seemed upset. I think he didn't get enough time with you, Ben, Yeah,
