(02:18):
about the latest stylings in Jerry's world that's right now,
in this case dueling pianos, Dueling pianos in the heart
at Texas Style really mixed signals, which yeah, same thing.
So if you haven't been taking notes, bad job by you.

(02:39):
We are compelled, contractually obligated to talk about the latest
stylings coming out of Jerry's world. So I'll give you
the condensed recap of what's been going on. So Micah Parsons,
who like a month and a half ago, they said, Oh,
it's almost a done deal.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
He's gonna get paid. Micah Partson is gonna get paid.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
We hadn't gotten paid yet, he revealed though his status
update Status update for the Cowboys mandatory mini camp. Micah
Parsons the defensive star, who's the defensive version of Dak
Prescott where he puts up good numbers and then vanishes
in big games. So Micah Parsons posted on social media
that he will be there.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I know you're excited about that. Turned on.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I know he'll be there for the three day event
which gets underway June tenth, and to see today's June fourth.
So that's next week. You see how that works. Okay, good,
So that's next week now. He said his absence will
not be taken place. He will be there despite not
having a new contract a long term extension that will

(03:42):
not will not prevent him from attending the shinding.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, okay, hallelujah, wonderful.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Now.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Micah is due to be a free agent after the
twenty twenty five season twenty twenty six to be exact,
and the market has reset multiple times. Multiple defensive players
have gotten the bling bling.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
A lot of money, money, money.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Now that comes on the heels of a totally different point,
Michael Parsons on all show up and all that stuff. Now,
there were reports recently that his name Michael Parsons is
still being floated. It's still out there on the trading block.
So let us discuss the question. Michael Parsons say, Hey,
I'm there. I don't have a contract, but I'll be

(04:27):
there for the mandatory mini camp.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I want to win a super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Of course, you're playing for the wrong team if you
want to win a super Bowl. So Parsons also facing
some whispers, trade whispers while the Cowboys wait for Jerry
Jones to do anything. So how do you dissect this
particular storyline. I'm glad you asked. I've got junkie, red, lobster,

(04:51):
and diapers, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make the Baba ga
noosh what we're gonna make. So to kick off, the
Cowboys used to be America's team. Now they're the Hallmark
team yet again. Right, it's the Hallmark Channel's kind of
sappy and corny and all that stuff in the cartoon

(05:14):
bubble over my head. Everyone does talk radio shoit have a
little cartoon bubble. Everyone should have a cartoon bubble. So
in the cartoon bubble above my head, Jerry Jones is
off in the corner sipping some bourbon and he's cackling
at the storylines.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
That are out there daily, and he's put.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
The bourbon down, and then he's twiddling his thumbs. He's
twiddling his thumbs, going back and forth and all that stuff.
And he's surrounded by very expensive, high end appetizers like
seafood appetisers, high end and all that stuff. And then
he's done with that, and then he's just gonna, you know,
sitting down. He puts his hands underneath him, so he's
sitting on his hands and he's waiting. Now what exactly,

(05:55):
I don't know. I assume he's getting ready for his
eight hundred and eightieth vacation before another awkward, botox filled
media get together where he announces to the cowboy world,
I'm all in, baby, I'm all in it. Taking your money, suckers,
I'm all in you. See, Jerry Jones, we have established

(06:18):
this long ago. He is a junkie. He is Capital
j He's a junkie. Jerry Jones is addicted to attention.
He is an attention whorror is what he is. And
he says he isn't hide from it. It's like, oh,
you shouldn't say that about Jerry. No, Jerry likes he

(06:39):
likes it. He says, when things are a little slow,
he likes to stir it up a little bit. So
this is really vintage Jerry Jones that one day you
flow to story that Micah Parsons is still available, and
then Parsons comes out says, I'll be there. I want
to win a super Bowl when the Cowboys haven't won
a super Bowl since the Internet became a thing, like
aol Online was the Internet when the Cowboys last one

(07:02):
the Super Bowl. Netscape Navigator was how people navigated the Internet.
Social media did not exist anyway. So that's where we
are with this. That's where we are. Jerry Jones loves chaos.
He he lives for it. He loves it. He's all
about it, all about that action, all about that action.
And he was a social media influencer on a typewriter.

(07:25):
Jerry Jones was able to be a social media influencer
on a typewriter.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
You know, how that is to do. He did it.
He was able to pull it off. Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Now, furthermore to Nashville, we go parsing the words. Now,
Titans quarterback and the number one overall draft pick, cam
Ward number has been getting glowing reviews. Slapper slapper, slapper
as the media try to pump the tires on cam
Ward and those storylines continuing this week. Continuing this week,

(07:57):
Wide receiver Calvin Ridley don't bet on it. Calvin Ridley
talked about the rookie mentality, the on field demeanor to
the reporters, saying that cam Ward, who is the top
pick in the draft, has the e fit mentality. That
was what he said. That's the money quote. We parsed

(08:17):
the words. That's what we do. So we'll pars the
words on this. You and I together, so wide receiver
Calvin Ridley saying that the Titans quarterback cam Ward has
a quote effort mentality in air quotes effitt mentality.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Do you believe this?

Speaker 1 (08:33):
And what do you make? So my answer is three letters.
I've got a T, a B and a D two
be determined. Now we do the show today and so
today you know, tonight we go over this morning, on
us night morning, whatever the hell it is. So at

(08:56):
this moment, I am a skeptic. I am me, My
heart is bleeding skepticism on this. And I'm one hundred
percent sure that you do not pick up your bouquet
of flowers by showing up in a visor and throwing
against air and mini caamp or even some seven on

(09:17):
seven drill situation. That's not how this worked out. Maybe
for others, you know, it's got their pom poms and
their gold team go and all the yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Maybe for them, you have to earn the praise.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
You don't earn it in a training camp or an
ota in June, and so that that doesn't happen. And
there are many people, though, that are in the football
media that hand out the compliments the praise like they're
mints at Red Lobster. And speaking of Red Lobster, Calvin
Ridley buttering the cheddar Bay biscuits of cam Ward like

(09:54):
a cigar chopping promoter, a hype man, give me the
damn ball now.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
I do hope, I hope that what he said is correct.
It'd be nice. We need some new blood in the NFL.
It is not like all these other.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Standard generic brand quarterbacks, and that it would be nice to
see a quarterback who was not captain checkdown.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
We have a lot of those.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
The quarterbacks who are trying to avoid those make a
mistake situations, you know, they don't want to throw those
those pass like Trevor Lawrence, I think is a great
example of the analytically heavy quarterback, where these guys are
like a bunch of robots and they know what throws

(10:41):
the nerds like, and so they try to pacify the nerds,
the analytic department, and so you have high percentage throws,
and it's like, how many times have we watched the game,
and there's so many quarterbacks to do this.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's third and thirteen.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Your quarterback drops back to pass and they complete a pass,
and they complete it for nine ten eleven yards short
of the line the game. Yet, according to the nerds,
that's not bad. That is not bad. Pretty solid, pretty
pretty solid pro completed the pass. All that good for

(11:18):
the nerd stats, the fantasy stats, all right, now.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Turning the pace. Last thing, the rare.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
And appropriate, rare and appropriate hockey mentioned in a Mala monologue.
So we go now to a country that was very kind.
They rolled out the maple leaf carpet a few days ago.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Oh, I had no idea we had that many listeners
in Canada. It was awesome. Can't wait to go back.
It was wonderful.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
The silent mob of Malard militia foot soldiers all over
the provinces of Canada. So we go to Alberta and tonight,
tonight in Edmund it is on like Donkey Kong game
number one of the Stanley Number. Now, the storyline for

(12:11):
me is not, hey, are we going to get a
back to back champion here.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
The Florida Panthers.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
No.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
The better stories on the Edmonton side, and I'm going
to keep it simple, the Kiss method. Keep it simple,
stupid is my method. The question that is most relevant
from a historical standpoint, is this the moment that Connor
McDavid gets off the schneide So he's sportscasting term.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Remember one time I was doing a show with Tom Looney.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
He was a popular show on Sundays around here, and
we had Joe buck On who was working at Fox,
and we we would just bust chops with Joe Bucket
and whoever it was on. We just goofed around and
we asked him about get off the Schneide, and he says, well,
I don't use it, or maybe I've mentioned it one time,
and it's like some old baseball player named Schneider who

(13:06):
was in a batting slump, and get off the Schneide
was a reference to that, which I thought was interesting
because the baseball jargon the Mendoza line was for a
baseball player they'd also sucked at his job, Mario Mendoza,
who was always hovering around two hundred. So the Mendoza
line is a two hundred batting average, which used to
be shameful in baseball and people would goof on you.

(13:29):
And now they don't care about batting average because the Dorkville,
USA who's running baseball. It's been hijacked, a hostile takeover
by the dorks. They don't care about batting average. They
don't worry about that anyway. Get back to the point, please,
all right, So back to the one. So does Connor McDavid,
the biggest star in hockey, need the Oilers to win
the Stanley Cup this next ten days or two weeks

(13:52):
or however long goes to validate everything that has been
hyped about Connor McDavid.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
All this time.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
So there's only one answer is I'm nodding my head. Yes,
that's the answer for this. And we do this on
a case by case basis. As you know I have
pointed out in previous episodes if you listen regularly, the
championship is a team award. I am not changing my
position on that. For me, the greatest two power forwards
I ever saw in my in basketball are Karl Malone, who.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Was a terrible talk show host. I worked with Karl
Malone and my god was he bad.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
So Karl Malone and pretty good basketball heard for the
Utah Jazz and Charles Barkley awesome. Neither one of them
won an NBA championship. But pound for pound, dollar for dollar,
every you want to say, those guys are at the top.
But yet in this case, and again case by case basis,
the Stanley Cup is a team award. That is true,

(14:52):
but multiple things can be true at the same time.
So it is just keeping it real. He's they got
they gotta win. I mean, this is and this is
at the point now where you lose again. You're like, oh,
here we go again. We have been hearing and I'm
not even a hockey guy. And the only hockey guy
we had the company whacked on the show like so

(15:12):
like I know, for not even being a hockey guy.
We have heard stories about Connor McDavid since he was
literally in diapers. He was a diapers got the prodigy, prodidra, prodidra.
He skates like a ghost, and he's got that stick handling.
He's so good he wants the legend is the urban legend.

(15:34):
Connor McDavid's so good at stick handling. He once deeked
out his own shadow, his own shadow, that's how good
he is.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
And so he was.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Called the Chosen One. That's what it was, Nick, the
Chosen One. So time flies when you're having fun. If
I'm not mistaken, this is a decade. This guy has
been in the National Hockey League for ten years now,
ten years the Connor McDavid experience in the NHL. And
while he's got all those individual honors and all the

(16:04):
awards that you could possibly want, there, the trinkets, the
hunk of metal, whatever you want to call it, there,
he does not have the thing that truly puts you
in that rarefied air where you have led a team
to Lord Stanley's Cup and so listen that we know

(16:26):
the talent. We've seen the highlights. And you go to
the Hockey Reference page and there's a lot of big
numbers there, and you say, what are the comps? And
the comps are Alex Ovechkin and Mario Lemieux and the
greatest of the greatest in NHL history. Those are the comps. However,
you are not able to etch your name in the
Book of Legends at the very top part of the

(16:48):
Book of Legends, the totem pole and because you've got
a lot of TikTok sizzle reels, and you don't do
that because you've got a really nice Hockey Reference page
unless you've got that other thing on there. And that's
the problem there. So this is another pressure point. It's
another pressure point. You've got the home ice advantage and
all that, and you lose to the same team, the

(17:10):
same goaltender, back to back seasons. That's a sinkle, That
is a sinkhole on the resume. And if McDavid doesn't
close this out, if Edmonton doesn't close us out, then
the whispers they stop being whispers and they start being
people stray bagg all right, best player to never win,

(17:32):
best player to never win.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Oh my god, he's Dan Marino.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
He's not Dan Marino of hockey.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Generally speaking, you want to avoid that. You want to
avoid that.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
All right, It is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we
are rolling, rolling, rolling through the overnight hours. And if
you would like to be part of this eight seven

Speaker 1 (18:00):
In public life that you just you shouldn't apologize because
it just doesn't work out. When you're privately, you should apologize.
You should absolutely apologize privately, but publicly it's generally does
not go that well. And there's another example of that
we'll explain in sports.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
We'll get to that.

Speaker 1 (18:18):

the boys checking in on on that. We have the

(20:07):
play of the night, which is a very important piece
of talk radio real estate, and a wild ending to
the Dodger met showed down at the Ravine in LA
As the Dodgers came back, Max Munsey had a big hit,
but the game went to extra innings, and well, here's
how it sounded.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
Pitch swang on, it hit left back those Nemo still
going back. This ball is off the wall around Pard theven,
but Dodgers are gonna want it. Freddie Freeman with a
walkoff bubble and the Dodgers went at six to five

We have password. The word Game of the Star is
coming up. Let's go to blind Scott though I'm told
there's a radio war that some people are trying to start.
Is this correct? Blind Scott as a yeah, what is

(21:24):
going on with this here?

Speaker 7 (21:25):
It's a friendly Ready award. So first I would just
like to thank it's great that our audio bo Ben
Mallor show audio got played on the Solak and Bertrand show.
So like Adam twelve hold it off in the morning.
He's listening right now. He's producing the Toucher and Hardy show.
So it was good content for the Scott delect show.
Scott Solak is a great guy. He's an announcer for
the Patriots. He might be listening now. He calls into

(21:46):
these shows. He does his own show. But what happened
was we took a side against the Patriots and Scott
Solak as he's a Patriots employee. And then Marco the
Beatle Bertrand, big big media guy at Boston. You know
he needs content too, and he's on our side. He's
on our side, you know.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Good good, Okay, Yeah, Well he's a fellow, but he's
a fellow large man and so all you know, fat
guys or former fat guys have to stand united.

Speaker 7 (22:13):
Yeah, I'm assuming Adam twelve pulled it because the listener
couldn't have pulled that audio. It's really I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
I was I was getting random messages from like these
uneducated losers who.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Were like, oh, you shouldn't be saying that. I was like, well,
it's a talk show. I give I give opinions, you moron,
what are you stupid?

Speaker 7 (22:30):
He's a great guy, Scott, so like you.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
I don't know me. I'm sure he's a fine human being.
I don't I've never met him. Good Scott.

Speaker 7 (22:37):
And then there's Scott from Ransom. They both called the
Toucher and Hardy Show, and we both deal with Nick
jrmelly all the time. So there's two major Scotts in
the in the market.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
I just like, I was like, I woke up and
then I I like, I got all these like weird
I don't usually go on social media.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
I always like messages. I was like, uh, what did
I what happened?

Speaker 7 (22:56):
Jerry? She shouted you out? Somebody else shouted you out.
I don't think you care. They need content like that.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, I'm happy listen.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
I guess there's nothing going on in Boston sports right
in June, I Getty and I'm here. I'm just the
overnight guy. You know who listens to overnight talk radio.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I'm here.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
If I have to apply content to the midday show,
the big TV guys on the mid I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I don't care.

Speaker 7 (23:18):
Yeah, and you have a podcast too, So scars Olac's
a big cape cut guy. He would come on the
fifth hour. Fred would come on the fifth dollar.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
All right, Well, I need content too, so put him on.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Why not?

Speaker 7 (23:30):
What the hell, dude, Scarshitt, he might be an NFL quarterback.
He's the best quarterback high school quarterback in mass Chut's
only like a soft boy. You know, he's probably throwing
right now. They wake up early in the morning. I
don't know why we got to throw the ball so much.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
So this is what you're saying, Just for the record,
you're saying, this is a friendly radio war.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
This is not an angry radio award. This is a
friendly radio war.

Speaker 7 (23:51):
Yeah, it's very friendly, Okay.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
All right, all right, yeah, so I do not need
to activate the malord militia to attack.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
No, let's what's all a calling to Scott's all that show.
I think he would enjoy that, though, you know what
I'm saying, Like we should interact with him about it.
You know, it's definitely worth interacting. It will get him
on the show. Everybody calls Scott's olac today and just
I don't think they'll put me on the air, but
everybody calls starts. All I can say, how we need
more Ben Mallat audio on the sled.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, that's just one thing that sports Stock Radio needs
more audio from the show. Okay, the jar, So that's it.
I knew you'd have the answer, Scott. I hear like
the whisper of all the Boston radio stuff. So I
knew you'd have this because I was a little confused.
I was like I was sleeping.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
I don't know. I was just you know, I did
my job. I didn't move moved on. I went to Ben.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
And I love the the the the people that were
like reacting saying I always get a kick out as
the the I love the uneducated people that that take
part in these battles because they're like, you know, you're
nion doesn't matter, and like, well you're reacting to my opinion,
so me see it matters, you moron?

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Are you that stupid?

Speaker 7 (25:02):
It's a it's a big deal too, because you're the
overnight radio guy. And you're trying to make your career
in radio and there's not that many radio stuffs. It's
God's all. That's so big enough. Whoa, he's so big
and all New England.

Speaker 2 (25:13):

Speaker 7 (25:20):
This this guy Cbone that produces his show, Lorena. I
don't know if he's single, but he's the type of

(31:51):
the Pittsburgh Steelers had a bunch of Wokester's upset because
some Steeler alumni member and some active players hung out
with a Trump and that you're not allowed to play
in the NFL if you don't agree politically with the rank,
the rank and file and all that. So anyway, people
send nasty emails to the Steelers. They were all upset

(32:13):
email and actual snail mail.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's old. People is still still send stale mail.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
So these Steelers responded, and they've made things worse because
what they did is send a boiler plate form letter.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
I'm gonna read the letter to you. This is what
they sent.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
People upset because alumni of the Steelers and current players
were hanging out.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
With the president of the United States. They wrote.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts
with us as valued fans. Your voice is an essential
part of what makes our Steeler community and find based
so strong. We understand that at a recent rally in
Pittsburgh has generated a range of reactions from our fan base.
Our alumni and current players make their own individual decisions

(32:57):
that reflect their views, and they do not necessarily represent
the view of the entire Pittsburgh Staters organization. Thank you
again for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your passion and
your continued support of the team. No mention of the president,
no mention of Red team or Blue team.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
It was Jen.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
I'm guessing that was written by AI. Doesn't that sound
like it was written by AI? Just write in some
power points, Yeah, put in some powerpoints. Just write something
really boring that won't offend anyone. But of course that
they offended people. The reason they offended people is because
what they did is they they said, well, you didn't
you didn't read what I wrote.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
You just sent me a generic.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Form letter, So screw you. Anyway, It is the Ben Maths.
