Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go and boom, Shaka laka. It's our number four,
our number four content machine cranked up thanks to Green
Bay's Micah Parsons. So what intrigues you the most about
the packers? Micah Parsons believe that the Cowboys quote screwed
Trevon Digs over the way they handled his situation. Also
(00:22):
agree or disagree on Miles Garrett not deserving any empathy
for being handcuffed to the factory of sadness and also
his Jacksonville wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior available on the
trading block. We'll talk about that as well. Here it
is our number four. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Here we
(00:43):
go past the cheese. Please welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Band Mather Show. We are in
the air everywhere as we unwind, and we are putting
yay in your day unless we don'te coast to coast,
(01:05):
border the motor and beyond on the vast and abundantly
powerful microphones of fs are am monating live from the
footprint as we increase our carbon footprint, one word at
a time from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by Andy in the Bluegrass and Lady Sideburns,
(01:29):
who's very upset that we did not have the extended
dance remix last hour on the always popular Mallard Riddle
of the Day. This portion of the Ben Maler Show
on Fox made possible in part by our friends at

I know, Ned from Nebraska says hey, Ben, what about
that DraftKings? Yes, right, Ned, that's right, Ned. Good job

crown is yours. It's been a zany night on the
overnight We had a baseball game end in the middle
(02:34):
of the night. Here. Normally we have nothing going on
while we're on the air. We just sit here and
talk and there's no games going on. And that was
not the case as the Dodgers World Series game with
the Toronto Blue Jays played way into the night. And
how far into the night did it go? Well? The
game ended about an hour into our overnight show, and
it ended with a bang, as Freddie Freeman did it again,
(02:59):
not against the end this time because they weren't playing
the Yankees, but against the Toronto Blue Jays, bottom of
the eighteenth inning and Freddie Freeman to the moon at
least the center field game winning home run. Shoeo Tani
had another bonker's performance for the Dodgers, as he had
a couple of home runs. The Blue Jays just gave up.
They walked him four times. Now, there's going to be
(03:20):
a great debate should Baseball change the intentional walk rule
because Toronto's a bunch of cowards and they don't want
to pitch to Oltani and all that. But the Dodgers
beat the Blue Jays six to five, a game that
was so good. How good was it Dodger manager Dave
Roberts said that could go down as one of the
greatest games of all time. Of course, he used a
(03:40):
weasel word could. He used the weasel word could. Didn't
say it was the greatest game of all time. And
it's not the greatest game of all time. Now, the
reason it's not the greatest game of all time because
it's a Game three. You can't have the greatest game
of all time into game three. Now, Historically, the greatest
game of all time in baseball has often been game six,
not game seven. It's often been game not game seven.
(04:01):
If I remember correctly, the Bill Buckner game was Game six.
They had to play a game seven. So that that's
one example. The Cardinals and Rangers played a Game six
when Nelson Cruz couldn't catch a ball in the outfield.
That allowed the Cardinals to come back and win that game,
and then they went on to win the World Series.
That was also a game six. Now I was at
(04:23):
the greatest game seven. Mayfields have a Cubs and the
Cleveland Indians back in the day with the greatest. For me,
it was the Cleveland Indians and the Florida Marlins. They
went extra innings in Miami. Of course I happen to
be there, so I was happy about that. But that
is not our lead. Our lead is from Jerry's world.
That's right, We go to Jerry's world. Bad blood, bad blood.
(04:43):
Who are you gonna call? How about Michael Parsons say what?
He's not on the Cowboy? What do you? That's what
you do overnights? Let me explain. So Michah Parsons of
the Dallas Cowboys Alumni Association, currently playing for the Green
Bay Packers. His ani mosity for Jerry Jones continues to
bubble up. Bubba bubba buba, bubble bubbles up. Now, if
(05:06):
you have not been following, and perhaps not, perhaps not,
don't worry. We got you. We got you on this one.
So the latest flash point, if you will, involves the
Cowboys Trevon Diggs, the defensive back for the Dallas Cowboys,
who has been placed now on injured reserve. That happened
over the weekend. There were some sketchy reports there was
(05:28):
an incident that happened at his house. It was a concussion,
but there's not a lot out there and nobody really
wanted to say what actually happened, which makes you want
to know what happened even more, and so Micah Parsons,
fresh off the win for the team from Green Bay
against the Pittsburgh football team, said that the Cowboys mishandled
(05:49):
Trevon Diggs and his return from injury. Quote this is
from Micah Parsons. He said, quote they forced him out there.
He said, after a atastrophic knee injury. I just feel
like they screwed him over. Michael Parsons said, quote continues,
the organization let him down. It's a real SOB story,
(06:13):
you know what I mean. He went on to say,
you just don't do that to a player. Parsons pounded
the table and I just think it was mad wrong
and I just pray for him. Close quote. So the
Cowboys were asked about that, did they a say, Michael
Parsons is a turnburger B MICHAEH. Parsons is absolutely right
(06:34):
or see no comment, ding ding ding ding ding. That's right.
They went with see no comment. Good job by you.
That is a solid jumping off point. So that is
what we will discuss. Let us get into it the
question what intrigues you the most about Micah Parsons and
his belief the Cowboys screwed Travon Diggs's former teammate over.
(06:57):
So my take on this, I've got mister big shot
Exon and Mayflower and we will combine all of these
things together and we are gonna make the Baba ganoosh
and we're gonna put the Baba ganooshe on some Texas toast,
is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
To kickoff here, Micah Parsons firing a flare gun in
the sky. Everywhere is listen. I wore the star. I
know what's going on. I'm not there, but I know
here's a flare gun. They screwed my friend over. Bad
job by them. That's what Michael Parsons is saying. Now,
that's a hell of a soundbo Like, that's good audio.
(07:34):
We don't have it, but that's good audio. And Micah
knows that shock value becomes a trending topic. However, let's
not sit here behind these microphones and you listening and
pretend like Micah Parsons when it comes to these issues,
is Johnny integrity? He's not. If I'm not mistaken. In
(07:55):
an effort to get Jerry Jones to pay him, he
was guilty of malfeasance. Micah Parsons with the Dallas Cowboys.
Did he not fake a back injury to avoid having
to play in the middle of a contract squabble? Methinks
he did. Methinks he did. He embellished how bad that
injury was in order to put pressure on Jerry Jones.
(08:16):
And now he's waking up and eating cheese curds in
northern Wisconsin. So how did that? Well, he's got a
lot of money, That's what you wanted. He care about
winning football. He went there to get the money. So
forgive me if we were not We're not looking at
what Parsons is saying. He's not the greatest spokesperson. It's
kind of like if you had a question on sports integrity,
or in this case, I guess we'd say, if you
(08:38):
had a question about the integrity of a poker game,
would you call mister big shot Chauncey Billups say Hey, Chauncey,
I'm going to a neighborhood poker game. You think this
on the up and up?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh yeah, My guy Vinnie Boombots, he's on the up
and up on that. Don't He'll get you. I don't
worry about that he'll take care of you. Yeah. So
spoiler alert, spoiler alert if you don't know the details
on this, it happened kind of over the weekend. The
Cowboys never publicly declared how Diggs got the concussion. They
said he got a concussion, only that he suffered it
(09:12):
at home because of an unspecified accident. Was he head
bunting somebody? Did he? Did he fall and I've fallen
and I can't get up. I don't know. Now, keep
in mind, the Cowboys could have could have done something
that would have totally screwed over the player. They could
have put him on the non football injury list from
what I understand, because it didn't happen at the Cowboy
(09:34):
facility and it wasn't football related, and so if they'd
done that, then Digs would not get paid. He would
be left twisting in the wind. Instead, they put him
on injured reserve, which sounds like they did him a
solid a good mitzvah that they're still paying. They're still
gonna pay me. It's not a shakedown for Trevon Diggs.
It's not. So this is not a franchise hanging a
(09:54):
guy out to dry. And the other part of this
which is fascinating is Michaeh. Parsons when he said the Cowboys,
he says the Cowboys organization screwed over the player. He's
talking about Jerry Jones, Like Jerry Jones is the ethos
of the Cowboys. Everything Dallas Cowboys is Jerry Joe. So
(10:15):
insert when Micah Parson says, I just feel like they
screwed him over, he's really saying, I feel like Jerry
Jones screwed him over and that Jerry Jones let him down.
That's what he's saying. And I just think it's wrong,
he said, and he's praying because of Jerry Jones doing
(10:38):
the wrong thing. So that's where I'm at right now.
And again, the franchise did not put a cone of
secrecy around the story in terms of the fact that
the player got hurt, So they did let that part out,
but they just didn't get into the pacifics on what
actually happened, so around that there was a cone of silence.
And let's not miss the contract kerfluffle, which is the
(11:01):
snuffle ofp igus in the room here that Treron Diggs
deal is not guaranteed after this season. It is a
popular opinion by popular people that he's playing. He's played
his final game. Now, he's not going to come back.
He's played his final game for the Dallas Cowboys. And
there's a lot of chatter that Micah Parsons his best,
he's with Trevon Diggs and would love for him to
(11:21):
enjoy the great state of Wisconsin in the wintertime next year.
I like to bring him to Green Bay. So there
you go, Parsons throwing some shots, some few haymakers at
Jerry Jones here, stirring the pot, the boiling cauldron, if
you will. And it's drama, it's messy. It's the cowboy
(11:45):
football baby, and you got Micah who's hanging out there
doing his thing and feeding the belly and feeding it
right into the beast, the belly of the beast right there.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Furthermore, we go to Cleveland, why bad foot ball, good
talk radio. We go to Cleveland. So the Cleveland Browns
have a defensive player who had five sacks against the
Patriots and they still got blown out. They being the
Cleveland Browns defensive end Miles Garrett. Now, he said following
the game that he would throw the whole performance against
(12:18):
the Patriots away for a win, is what he said.
And the five sack game record game, biggest loss, biggest
margin of defeat ever for a player that had five sacks.
So five sacks works out to two and a half
turnovers created by Miles Garrett. A sack is worth half
a turnover, so two and a half turnovers, and we'd
(12:42):
now like to have the Viking legend. Jared Allen entered
the jet, so Jared Allen chimed in on this the
Hall of Fame defensive player, and he said that he
does not feel bad for Miles Garrett and his situation
because of the very trade request that he had in
the offseason, and he then took the money to stay
(13:05):
with the Browns. Question, do you agree or disagree? Do
you agree or disagree with Miles Garrett not deserving empathy
for being handcuffed to Cleveland? So I agree that he
does not does not deserve any kind of sympathy or
(13:25):
empathy or whatever word you want insert instead of empathy,
instead of sympathy. It's one of those oh boo hooooo,
we're supposed to be bad for the guy who signed
the biggest contract ever for a non quarterback at the time.
He signed the contract. There's no chance you signed. Nobody
put a knife to your neck or a gun to
the side of your head and you signed the contract.
You did it. I didn't do it. You were given
(13:47):
golden handcuffs. You said, I don't know that I want
those handcuffs, but they're plated in gold, and I want
I want the gold, and so here you go. You
handcuffed yourself. Congratulations to the Cleveland Browns. That's the equivalent
of being on the Exxon Valdis and seeing it start
to leak oil and be like, Okay, I'm good. You
(14:10):
gave me the presidential suite. I'm gonna stay. I know
there'll be a lot of oil in Alaska, but I'm okay. Yeah,
I guess I could have gone deep water Horizon. But
that was a I know a lot of you boys
work in the oil business. That was not a boat.
That was an oil rig. So it doesn't work. See
the Exon Valdis, Well it's a dated story. It does
(14:30):
work because that was a oil spill, so you get
the point. Anyway, he signed the contract willing to overlook
the leaking oil. Miles Garrett, everyone's got a price. You
have a price. I have a price. The person in
the back of the room, they have a prize. Everyone's
got the person driving the car next over to you,
over the right of you, they have a price, and
(14:51):
once you cash the check, Miles Garrett's price was one
hundred and twenty million dollars. That's a good price. That
is a solid price. That's a one you would be
willing to live in Guantana. I'm obey for one hundred
and twenty million dollars. You said, no air conditioning, no problem,
one hundred and twenty million dollars. So you're not gonna
get a sympathy card that gets shredded. That he absolutely
shredded there. You knew what you were signing up for.
(15:13):
It's not like you had never played in the Factory
of sadness. You were the face of the Factory of sadness.
And the factory of sadness doesn't all of a sudden
turn into Disneyland because you're getting paid a lot of money, Okay,
And so Jared Allen is dead on, dead on on
this Garrett. He made that very public trade request, which
I would like to thank him for doing that. And
(15:35):
the reason I would like to thank him is that
provided us a solid month and a half of talk radio.
It was early February. I know the Super Bowl was
going on and all that and the Eagles and the Chiefs,
but we had that as a sidebar which became a
main event. So that was very good U and he said, hey, listen,
I don't want to play in Cleveland. I want to
(15:57):
chase a ring. He said that. He said the famous
quote which will live in infamy. Miles Garrett said the
goal was never to go from Cleveland to the Canton,
which he's parroting a quote from the Browns GM Andrew Berry.
He said, the goal is never to go from Cleveland
to Canton. It has always been to compete for and
(16:18):
to win a super Bowl. That was a statement. So
Cleveland then backed up seventeen Brinks trucks filled with gold
Bouyon right to his garage at his mansion, and he
suddenly said, you know what, I'm gonna take that map
and I'm gonna take the map that has the path
to freedom, and I'm going to cut that up into
(16:40):
little pieces and I'm going to drop that in my
toilet and I'm then going to flush the toilet and
that's it. And I'm good, and so what are we
going to get the world's smallest violin out and play
play some bars for him? Come on, you can't say
if you're Miles Garrett, I want to win Super Bowls
(17:01):
and then sign the rest of your athletic prime away
to a franchise that is allergic to playoff football. Right there,
it is right. They were playing for Miles Garrett. It's
a real sob. Sorry, he would have given up the
five sacks to beat the Patriots, but he gave up
his freedom as a football player for one hundred and
(17:24):
twenty million large. He took the money. No empathy, no card,
no candies, no pity party, no balloons. Now I will
give you the crocodile. I'll give you the crocodile tears
is what I'll give you. Now, last thing, we go
to Jacksonville, Duval County, Yeah, Duval County. That is where
(17:45):
Jacksonville coach Liam Cohne, the head nerd Liam Cohne was
asked about the chatter that has been picking up that
the Jacksonville football team is looking to unload Brian Thomas junior.
There's a lot of trade speculation. So what did Liam
Cone say about this. He said, quote, we have no plans,
(18:06):
no plans of moving Brian Thomas Junior at all close.
Quote all right, question, we know that's what Liam Cone,
the coach said. The question is JAG's wide receiver Brian
Thomas Jr. Available on the trading block? So you can't
see me unless you're watching the YouTube channel on Benny
(18:27):
on Ben Maler's show and also Benny Versus Benny. But
I'm Ben malor Show where these videos pop up. So
I'm waving at the camera. I'm nodding my head yes
and waving. I'm multitasking at the camera. Yes. So this
is classic NFL if. I'm Mike Vrabel and the New
Zeland Patriots. I'm on the phone right now. Hey, good morning.
I know it's too early to be texting you at
this hour, but what would it take for us to
(18:49):
get Brian Thomas Jr. In a pat Patriot replica uniform.
This is the oldest shell game. There is the second
that I hear no plans when I hear no planes.
The Mayflower moving trucks are already idling. They're idling behind
(19:14):
the stadium. They're wasting fossil fuel preparing. It's kind of
like the landlord. I used to have an apartment in
Hollywood years ago, and the landlord I was with, I
would always say, don't worry, We're not going to raise
the rant. I'm not going to do that to you.
It's the holidays and I don't want to raise the rain.
(19:35):
And then they'd raised the rant. It happened. Happened a
couple of years in a row, and I kind of
caught onto it, and they wanted all the nice that
of boys. That's a solid thank you for that. But
Brian Thomas Jr. If you look at all of the ingredients,
all of the variables in this Brian Thomas Jr. Is
(19:55):
at loggerheads with Trevor Lawrence. There were some accusations of
him quitting during games earlier this year. I think the
game in Cincinnati, if I remember correctly, And when the
quarterback and the wide receiver are not on the same
recipe and they're cooking different foods. They're in the recipe book,
but they're on different pages of the recipe book, it's
(20:16):
a bit of a problem. Like someone's getting the boot,
and normally it's not the quarterback that's getting the old
the kick in the Tuoks. So if you look at
the player, Brian Thomas Junior is a good ballplayer. He's good. However,
he's not on the spectrum of greatness where Justin Jefferson,
(20:36):
Jamar Chase, Puka Nukua players like that. And Seattle's got
a guy now, Jackson Smith and Jigba who's been wonderful
like those kind of guys. That's the next or but
he's not there now. The argument is if he got
to a team like the Patriots, Brian Thomas Jr. And
he played with Drake May and the Patriots are playing
a bunch of tomato cans and they're really humming that
(20:57):
he would put up great numbers and everything would be
fine and all that stuff. Again, my position on all
this stuff is almost always my default position is that
when teams say, hey, there are no plans, my plans
change all the time. I had a plan. I'll give
you an idea. Here, here's how I relate to the Sorry.
So I had a plan to do the radio show.
I said, Okay, our one, we're gonna break down the
World Series. Hour two, we'll talk about the Monday night
(21:19):
football game with the baseball game was still going on
the baseball game ended and hour into our show, so
I was like, Okay, well, there's no point in doing
a monologue because we do very well on the podcast
and they wanted to keep the integrity of the podcast.
So I had to wait. I did the football game.
I these are first world problems. This is big time
overnight talk radio problem. But we had it and we survived,
(21:39):
and you ad lib and all that and there you go.
So again I think there's something there. And the trade
deadline is a week from today, so we're right around
the bend on this and we have no plans. The
famous last words, the famous last words. We will believe
that Brian Thomas, you of Jacksonville, is not available the second,
(22:04):
the second the trade deadline pens down. It's the afternoon,
a week from today, and not one minute before that,
put your pens down. Trade deadline's over, not one minute,
one minute at all before that. It is the Ben
Maler Show eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight

(22:29):
you can join us on the X Machine at Ben

to do a bit ask a weed man, as are
you there? Bill? Hello? Yeah, all right. So the way
this bit works is that we normally do it earlier.
We just started this a couple of weeks ago. It's
a big hit. People love weed Man. They want to
they want to take care of you, and you can't.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Figure out I want to help people's lives.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Okay, you're going to help people's lives, and so people
can call in right now if you want to play
the bit at eight seven seven nine nine, six six
three six nine, And we'll also take some questions on
X for ask a weed Man. No stupid questions, just
stupid people. All right, Before we get to that, we
have some some fun facts. As people are calling in,
weed Man, we have fun facts on the World Series
(25:37):
game that ended last night. We'll actually yeah, eighteen, look
at that eighteen in six to five fact. All right, Well,
Freddie Freeman now has two career walk off World Series
home runs. He's the only player to do it, to
have two home runs. There are three other players that
(25:58):
have hit two, have hit two in postseason, but nobody
has done it. No one player has done it the
way that Freddie Freeman has done it. Also, Otani now
multiple home runs. Yet again, look at this guy. The
we missed they touching up my work. I like this
here we met. This is good. Otani has he had
(26:19):
four intentional walks and four extra base hits, two home runs,
two doubles. He matched a record for extra base hits
sit by in game five of the nineteen oh six
World Series. Frank Is Bell is the guys man, so
I don't think Frank's alive anymore. Unfortunately, I don't think
(26:42):
he's with us anymore. Nine times. Otani reached base nine times.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, there are three people.
Three people who have reached base that many times in
a regular season game. Never happened in the postseason. He
was walked in intentionally on four at bats, and he
(27:03):
also had a five pitch unintentional a walk. So there
are four players in baseball history that have done it,
and they're all like really old dudes, like nineteen twenty two,
nineteen thirty two, nineteen forty two a long time ago.
The Dodgers used ten pitchers. Ten pitchers in this game,
which is next level forty four overall players too, shy
(27:28):
of the record set by the Dodgers in Red Sox
back in twenty eighteen, so there is that there were
seventy two. Seventy two is the number of year pitches
thrown by Dodger reliever Will Klein. Will clinb seventy two pitches.
He doubled his previous big league career high in the
World Series. And let's see, I'm gonna play a game here.
(27:51):
Let's see nobody cheat. All right, we're doing it. We're
gonna ask a weed man. I know. Here the question
is how many total pitches were there in the game?
How many total pitches between the Blue Jays and the
Dodgers closest one wins without going over We're doing ask
a weed man. But we're gonna ask the question total
number of pitches combined for the Dodgers and the Blue Jays.
(28:17):
I know, I know the number. I am not eligible
to play, weed man. Would you like to take a guess?
Weed man? We'll let you go first. I have no clue. Okay,
is it no clue? Lorena? Two hundred pitches? Okay, that's
a great guest. I was gonna guess two fifty eight
to fifty eight? All right, Cooper Looo.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Well, so I saw an update around the like thirteenth
or fourteenth in age. All right, so I'm gonna guess
five tenty what that's.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
A lot of pitches? Cool? Well, it turns out that
according to the people that keep track of this boy,
that must be a fun job. Is hey? I doing that?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Six hundred and nine pitches. Oh, six hundred and nine
pitches in the World Series Game three hundred and twelve.
The Dodger pitchers through three hundred and twelve pitches. The
Blue Jay pitchers accounted for two hundred and ninety seven.
And they have the they have the pitch clock. So
(29:20):
how much time was shaved off between the last eighteen
inning game where there was no pitch clock in twenty
eighteen and over? Yeah, it was over seven hours. So
this this game. That game lasted seven hours and twenty minutes.
This game lasted six hours and thirty nine minutes. So
I used my computer like brain. That is forty one
minutes of time saved because of the pitch clock. Forty
(29:42):
one minutes of time. Yeah, thank you. That's right. Saddleback college, baby,

about weed Man's life. We could do like you work
at a toy store.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I was like.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Everyone loved him, and he ended up sitting in a
lifeguard tower during a hurricane for an over night talk
radio show. It's just just great, all right, late night

aid of butter.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Oh god, no, no, but it was it was a
whole obster.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Now did you ever think why would someone throw away
a whole opster? And that there might be something wrong
with the lobster? But you got to eat right, you're hungry,
you want to eat. All right, Let's go to Josh,
who's in New York. It's ask a weed man, our
friend weed man, hippie there in Miami. Hello, Josh.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Weed Man. I had three questions to you. If the
federal government legalized weed in pots, could you pay up
the national debt? That would be one big joint And
that was great. Do you, weed man? Do you have
trouble round goats? Because goats like the weed and also
love you.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I would love to nominate you to be the Democratic
nominee for president in twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
That's a great idea. Oh, oh there it is. There
you go. There's a Stephen Manhattan phony phone call for Steve.
There you go, all right, Good job by Steven Manhattan,
good phony phone call. There might have a chance. I
think I would vote for you for weed man. Here's
a question. Here's a question from Ed weed Man. What
(33:44):
do you think of that new sky stadium they're building
in Saudi Arabia? Do you hear about this? Weed Man?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
No, Yeah, they're constructing the world's first ever sky stadium.
It is going to be suspended eleven and fifty feet
above ground. They're they're building it for the World Cup
in twenty thirty four. It's going to open in twenty
thirty two. So essentially, I'm looking at what a video
(34:10):
it's going to look like. It's it's a it's a
full soccer stadium on top of a skyscraper.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Is it just a consalized idea or is this actually happening?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
No, this is happening. It's actually happening. That's your that's
your oil money at work right there. All right, well,
we're asking weed Man, another success. Unbelieve everyone loves you.
We've been. We'll do it back up. We'll do it
at the normal time next week. All right, Thank you?
There it is asking weed man. Think we learned it
works better in that normal time that thought. Are you

saying this is not a success, Cooper loop or is
it I'm not saying that at all? Are you saying
this was a this was a bust.
Speaker 4 (34:49):

Bay's Micah Parsons. So what intrigues you the most about
the packers? Micah Parsons believe that the Cowboys quote screwed
Trevon Digs over the way they handled his situation. Also
(00:22):
agree or disagree on Miles Garrett not deserving any empathy
for being handcuffed to the factory of sadness and also
his Jacksonville wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior available on the
trading block. We'll talk about that as well. Here it
is our number four. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Here we
(00:43):

overnight We had a baseball game end in the middle
(02:34):
of the night. Here. Normally we have nothing going on
while we're on the air. We just sit here and
talk and there's no games going on. And that was
not the case as the Dodgers World Series game with
the Toronto Blue Jays played way into the night. And
how far into the night did it go? Well? The
game ended about an hour into our overnight show, and
it ended with a bang, as Freddie Freeman did it again,
(02:59):
not against the end this time because they weren't playing
the Yankees, but against the Toronto Blue Jays, bottom of
the eighteenth inning and Freddie Freeman to the moon at
least the center field game winning home run. Shoeo Tani
had another bonker's performance for the Dodgers, as he had
a couple of home runs. The Blue Jays just gave up.
They walked him four times. Now, there's going to be
(03:20):
a great debate should Baseball change the intentional walk rule
because Toronto's a bunch of cowards and they don't want
to pitch to Oltani and all that. But the Dodgers
beat the Blue Jays six to five, a game that
was so good. How good was it Dodger manager Dave
Roberts said that could go down as one of the
greatest games of all time. Of course, he used a
(03:40):
weasel word could. He used the weasel word could. Didn't
say it was the greatest game of all time. And
it's not the greatest game of all time. Now, the
reason it's not the greatest game of all time because
it's a Game three. You can't have the greatest game
of all time into game three. Now, Historically, the greatest
game of all time in baseball has often been game six,
not game seven. It's often been game not game seven.
(04:01):
If I remember correctly, the Bill Buckner game was Game six.
They had to play a game seven. So that that's
one example. The Cardinals and Rangers played a Game six
when Nelson Cruz couldn't catch a ball in the outfield.
That allowed the Cardinals to come back and win that game,
and then they went on to win the World Series.
That was also a game six. Now I was at
(04:23):
the greatest game seven. Mayfields have a Cubs and the
Cleveland Indians back in the day with the greatest. For me,
it was the Cleveland Indians and the Florida Marlins. They
went extra innings in Miami. Of course I happen to
be there, so I was happy about that. But that
is not our lead. Our lead is from Jerry's world.
That's right, We go to Jerry's world. Bad blood, bad blood.
(04:43):
Who are you gonna call? How about Michael Parsons say what?
He's not on the Cowboy? What do you? That's what
you do overnights? Let me explain. So Michah Parsons of
the Dallas Cowboys Alumni Association, currently playing for the Green
Bay Packers. His ani mosity for Jerry Jones continues to
bubble up. Bubba bubba buba, bubble bubbles up. Now, if
(05:06):
you have not been following, and perhaps not, perhaps not,
don't worry. We got you. We got you on this one.
So the latest flash point, if you will, involves the
Cowboys Trevon Diggs, the defensive back for the Dallas Cowboys,
who has been placed now on injured reserve. That happened
over the weekend. There were some sketchy reports there was
(05:28):
an incident that happened at his house. It was a concussion,
but there's not a lot out there and nobody really
wanted to say what actually happened, which makes you want
to know what happened even more, and so Micah Parsons,
fresh off the win for the team from Green Bay
against the Pittsburgh football team, said that the Cowboys mishandled
(05:49):
Trevon Diggs and his return from injury. Quote this is
from Micah Parsons. He said, quote they forced him out there.
He said, after a atastrophic knee injury. I just feel
like they screwed him over. Michael Parsons said, quote continues,
the organization let him down. It's a real SOB story,
(06:13):
you know what I mean. He went on to say,
you just don't do that to a player. Parsons pounded
the table and I just think it was mad wrong
and I just pray for him. Close quote. So the
Cowboys were asked about that, did they a say, Michael
Parsons is a turnburger B MICHAEH. Parsons is absolutely right
(06:34):
or see no comment, ding ding ding ding ding. That's right.
They went with see no comment. Good job by you.
That is a solid jumping off point. So that is
what we will discuss. Let us get into it the
question what intrigues you the most about Micah Parsons and
his belief the Cowboys screwed Travon Diggs's former teammate over.
(06:57):
So my take on this, I've got mister big shot
Exon and Mayflower and we will combine all of these
things together and we are gonna make the Baba ganoosh
and we're gonna put the Baba ganooshe on some Texas toast,
is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
To kickoff here, Micah Parsons firing a flare gun in
the sky. Everywhere is listen. I wore the star. I
know what's going on. I'm not there, but I know
here's a flare gun. They screwed my friend over. Bad
job by them. That's what Michael Parsons is saying. Now,
that's a hell of a soundbo Like, that's good audio.
(07:34):
We don't have it, but that's good audio. And Micah
knows that shock value becomes a trending topic. However, let's
not sit here behind these microphones and you listening and
pretend like Micah Parsons when it comes to these issues,
is Johnny integrity? He's not. If I'm not mistaken. In
(07:55):
an effort to get Jerry Jones to pay him, he
was guilty of malfeasance. Micah Parsons with the Dallas Cowboys.
Did he not fake a back injury to avoid having
to play in the middle of a contract squabble? Methinks
he did. Methinks he did. He embellished how bad that
injury was in order to put pressure on Jerry Jones.
(08:16):
And now he's waking up and eating cheese curds in
northern Wisconsin. So how did that? Well, he's got a
lot of money, That's what you wanted. He care about
winning football. He went there to get the money. So
forgive me if we were not We're not looking at
what Parsons is saying. He's not the greatest spokesperson. It's
kind of like if you had a question on sports integrity,
or in this case, I guess we'd say, if you
(08:38):
had a question about the integrity of a poker game,
would you call mister big shot Chauncey Billups say Hey, Chauncey,
I'm going to a neighborhood poker game. You think this
on the up and up?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh yeah, My guy Vinnie Boombots, he's on the up
and up on that. Don't He'll get you. I don't
worry about that he'll take care of you. Yeah. So
spoiler alert, spoiler alert if you don't know the details
on this, it happened kind of over the weekend. The
Cowboys never publicly declared how Diggs got the concussion. They
said he got a concussion, only that he suffered it
(09:12):
at home because of an unspecified accident. Was he head
bunting somebody? Did he? Did he fall and I've fallen
and I can't get up. I don't know. Now, keep
in mind, the Cowboys could have could have done something
that would have totally screwed over the player. They could
have put him on the non football injury list from
what I understand, because it didn't happen at the Cowboy
(09:34):
facility and it wasn't football related, and so if they'd
done that, then Digs would not get paid. He would
be left twisting in the wind. Instead, they put him
on injured reserve, which sounds like they did him a
solid a good mitzvah that they're still paying. They're still
gonna pay me. It's not a shakedown for Trevon Diggs.
It's not. So this is not a franchise hanging a
(09:54):
guy out to dry. And the other part of this
which is fascinating is Michaeh. Parsons when he said the Cowboys,
he says the Cowboys organization screwed over the player. He's
talking about Jerry Jones, Like Jerry Jones is the ethos
of the Cowboys. Everything Dallas Cowboys is Jerry Joe. So
(10:15):
insert when Micah Parson says, I just feel like they
screwed him over, he's really saying, I feel like Jerry
Jones screwed him over and that Jerry Jones let him down.
That's what he's saying. And I just think it's wrong,
he said, and he's praying because of Jerry Jones doing
(10:38):
the wrong thing. So that's where I'm at right now.
And again, the franchise did not put a cone of
secrecy around the story in terms of the fact that
the player got hurt, So they did let that part out,
but they just didn't get into the pacifics on what
actually happened, so around that there was a cone of silence.
And let's not miss the contract kerfluffle, which is the
(11:01):
snuffle ofp igus in the room here that Treron Diggs
deal is not guaranteed after this season. It is a
popular opinion by popular people that he's playing. He's played
his final game. Now, he's not going to come back.
He's played his final game for the Dallas Cowboys. And
there's a lot of chatter that Micah Parsons his best,
he's with Trevon Diggs and would love for him to
(11:21):
enjoy the great state of Wisconsin in the wintertime next year.
I like to bring him to Green Bay. So there
you go, Parsons throwing some shots, some few haymakers at
Jerry Jones here, stirring the pot, the boiling cauldron, if
you will. And it's drama, it's messy. It's the cowboy
(11:45):
football baby, and you got Micah who's hanging out there
doing his thing and feeding the belly and feeding it
right into the beast, the belly of the beast right there.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Furthermore, we go to Cleveland, why bad foot ball, good
talk radio. We go to Cleveland. So the Cleveland Browns
have a defensive player who had five sacks against the
Patriots and they still got blown out. They being the
Cleveland Browns defensive end Miles Garrett. Now, he said following
the game that he would throw the whole performance against
(12:18):
the Patriots away for a win, is what he said.
And the five sack game record game, biggest loss, biggest
margin of defeat ever for a player that had five sacks.
So five sacks works out to two and a half
turnovers created by Miles Garrett. A sack is worth half
a turnover, so two and a half turnovers, and we'd
(12:42):
now like to have the Viking legend. Jared Allen entered
the jet, so Jared Allen chimed in on this the
Hall of Fame defensive player, and he said that he
does not feel bad for Miles Garrett and his situation
because of the very trade request that he had in
the offseason, and he then took the money to stay
(13:05):
with the Browns. Question, do you agree or disagree? Do
you agree or disagree with Miles Garrett not deserving empathy
for being handcuffed to Cleveland? So I agree that he
does not does not deserve any kind of sympathy or
(13:25):
empathy or whatever word you want insert instead of empathy,
instead of sympathy. It's one of those oh boo hooooo,
we're supposed to be bad for the guy who signed
the biggest contract ever for a non quarterback at the time.
He signed the contract. There's no chance you signed. Nobody
put a knife to your neck or a gun to
the side of your head and you signed the contract.
You did it. I didn't do it. You were given
(13:47):
golden handcuffs. You said, I don't know that I want
those handcuffs, but they're plated in gold, and I want
I want the gold, and so here you go. You
handcuffed yourself. Congratulations to the Cleveland Browns. That's the equivalent
of being on the Exxon Valdis and seeing it start
to leak oil and be like, Okay, I'm good. You
(14:10):
gave me the presidential suite. I'm gonna stay. I know
there'll be a lot of oil in Alaska, but I'm okay. Yeah,
I guess I could have gone deep water Horizon. But
that was a I know a lot of you boys
work in the oil business. That was not a boat.
That was an oil rig. So it doesn't work. See
the Exon Valdis, Well it's a dated story. It does
(14:30):
work because that was a oil spill, so you get
the point. Anyway, he signed the contract willing to overlook
the leaking oil. Miles Garrett, everyone's got a price. You
have a price. I have a price. The person in
the back of the room, they have a prize. Everyone's
got the person driving the car next over to you,
over the right of you, they have a price, and
(14:51):
once you cash the check, Miles Garrett's price was one
hundred and twenty million dollars. That's a good price. That
is a solid price. That's a one you would be
willing to live in Guantana. I'm obey for one hundred
and twenty million dollars. You said, no air conditioning, no problem,
one hundred and twenty million dollars. So you're not gonna
get a sympathy card that gets shredded. That he absolutely
shredded there. You knew what you were signing up for.
(15:13):
It's not like you had never played in the Factory
of sadness. You were the face of the Factory of sadness.
And the factory of sadness doesn't all of a sudden
turn into Disneyland because you're getting paid a lot of money, Okay,
And so Jared Allen is dead on, dead on on
this Garrett. He made that very public trade request, which
I would like to thank him for doing that. And
(15:35):
the reason I would like to thank him is that
provided us a solid month and a half of talk radio.
It was early February. I know the Super Bowl was
going on and all that and the Eagles and the Chiefs,
but we had that as a sidebar which became a
main event. So that was very good U and he said, hey, listen,
I don't want to play in Cleveland. I want to
(15:57):
chase a ring. He said that. He said the famous
quote which will live in infamy. Miles Garrett said the
goal was never to go from Cleveland to the Canton,
which he's parroting a quote from the Browns GM Andrew Berry.
He said, the goal is never to go from Cleveland
to Canton. It has always been to compete for and
(16:18):
to win a super Bowl. That was a statement. So
Cleveland then backed up seventeen Brinks trucks filled with gold
Bouyon right to his garage at his mansion, and he
suddenly said, you know what, I'm gonna take that map
and I'm gonna take the map that has the path
to freedom, and I'm going to cut that up into
(16:40):
little pieces and I'm going to drop that in my
toilet and I'm then going to flush the toilet and
that's it. And I'm good, and so what are we
going to get the world's smallest violin out and play
play some bars for him? Come on, you can't say
if you're Miles Garrett, I want to win Super Bowls
(17:01):
and then sign the rest of your athletic prime away
to a franchise that is allergic to playoff football. Right there,
it is right. They were playing for Miles Garrett. It's
a real sob. Sorry, he would have given up the
five sacks to beat the Patriots, but he gave up
his freedom as a football player for one hundred and
(17:24):
twenty million large. He took the money. No empathy, no card,
no candies, no pity party, no balloons. Now I will
give you the crocodile. I'll give you the crocodile tears
is what I'll give you. Now, last thing, we go
to Jacksonville, Duval County, Yeah, Duval County. That is where
(17:45):
Jacksonville coach Liam Cohne, the head nerd Liam Cohne was
asked about the chatter that has been picking up that
the Jacksonville football team is looking to unload Brian Thomas junior.
There's a lot of trade speculation. So what did Liam
Cone say about this. He said, quote, we have no plans,
(18:06):
no plans of moving Brian Thomas Junior at all close.
Quote all right, question, we know that's what Liam Cone,
the coach said. The question is JAG's wide receiver Brian
Thomas Jr. Available on the trading block? So you can't
see me unless you're watching the YouTube channel on Benny
(18:27):
on Ben Maler's show and also Benny Versus Benny. But
I'm Ben malor Show where these videos pop up. So
I'm waving at the camera. I'm nodding my head yes
and waving. I'm multitasking at the camera. Yes. So this
is classic NFL if. I'm Mike Vrabel and the New
Zeland Patriots. I'm on the phone right now. Hey, good morning.
I know it's too early to be texting you at
this hour, but what would it take for us to
(18:49):
get Brian Thomas Jr. In a pat Patriot replica uniform.
This is the oldest shell game. There is the second
that I hear no plans when I hear no planes.
The Mayflower moving trucks are already idling. They're idling behind
(19:14):
the stadium. They're wasting fossil fuel preparing. It's kind of
like the landlord. I used to have an apartment in
Hollywood years ago, and the landlord I was with, I
would always say, don't worry, We're not going to raise
the rant. I'm not going to do that to you.
It's the holidays and I don't want to raise the rain.
(19:35):
And then they'd raised the rant. It happened. Happened a
couple of years in a row, and I kind of
caught onto it, and they wanted all the nice that
of boys. That's a solid thank you for that. But
Brian Thomas Jr. If you look at all of the ingredients,
all of the variables in this Brian Thomas Jr. Is
(19:55):
at loggerheads with Trevor Lawrence. There were some accusations of
him quitting during games earlier this year. I think the
game in Cincinnati, if I remember correctly, And when the
quarterback and the wide receiver are not on the same
recipe and they're cooking different foods. They're in the recipe book,
but they're on different pages of the recipe book, it's
(20:16):
a bit of a problem. Like someone's getting the boot,
and normally it's not the quarterback that's getting the old
the kick in the Tuoks. So if you look at
the player, Brian Thomas Junior is a good ballplayer. He's good. However,
he's not on the spectrum of greatness where Justin Jefferson,
(20:36):
Jamar Chase, Puka Nukua players like that. And Seattle's got
a guy now, Jackson Smith and Jigba who's been wonderful
like those kind of guys. That's the next or but
he's not there now. The argument is if he got
to a team like the Patriots, Brian Thomas Jr. And
he played with Drake May and the Patriots are playing
a bunch of tomato cans and they're really humming that
(20:57):
he would put up great numbers and everything would be
fine and all that stuff. Again, my position on all
this stuff is almost always my default position is that
when teams say, hey, there are no plans, my plans
change all the time. I had a plan. I'll give
you an idea. Here, here's how I relate to the Sorry.
So I had a plan to do the radio show.
I said, Okay, our one, we're gonna break down the
World Series. Hour two, we'll talk about the Monday night
(21:19):
football game with the baseball game was still going on
the baseball game ended and hour into our show, so
I was like, Okay, well, there's no point in doing
a monologue because we do very well on the podcast
and they wanted to keep the integrity of the podcast.
So I had to wait. I did the football game.
I these are first world problems. This is big time
overnight talk radio problem. But we had it and we survived,
(21:39):
and you ad lib and all that and there you go.
So again I think there's something there. And the trade
deadline is a week from today, so we're right around
the bend on this and we have no plans. The
famous last words, the famous last words. We will believe
that Brian Thomas, you of Jacksonville, is not available the second,
(22:04):
the second the trade deadline pens down. It's the afternoon,
a week from today, and not one minute before that,
put your pens down. Trade deadline's over, not one minute,
one minute at all before that. It is the Ben
Maler Show eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. Also
(22:29):

(24:53):
not back to it. Back to it And we're supposed
to do a bit ask a weed man, as are
you there? Bill? Hello? Yeah, all right. So the way
this bit works is that we normally do it earlier.
We just started this a couple of weeks ago. It's
a big hit. People love weed Man. They want to
they want to take care of you, and you can't.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Figure out I want to help people's lives.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Okay, you're going to help people's lives, and so people
can call in right now if you want to play
the bit at eight seven seven nine nine, six six
three six nine, And we'll also take some questions on
X for ask a weed Man. No stupid questions, just
stupid people. All right, Before we get to that, we
have some some fun facts. As people are calling in,
weed Man, we have fun facts on the World Series
(25:37):
game that ended last night. We'll actually yeah, eighteen, look
at that eighteen in six to five fact. All right, Well,
Freddie Freeman now has two career walk off World Series
home runs. He's the only player to do it, to
have two home runs. There are three other players that
(25:58):
have hit two, have hit two in postseason, but nobody
has done it. No one player has done it the
way that Freddie Freeman has done it. Also, Otani now
multiple home runs. Yet again, look at this guy. The
we missed they touching up my work. I like this
here we met. This is good. Otani has he had
(26:19):
four intentional walks and four extra base hits, two home runs,
two doubles. He matched a record for extra base hits
sit by in game five of the nineteen oh six
World Series. Frank Is Bell is the guys man, so
I don't think Frank's alive anymore. Unfortunately, I don't think
(26:42):
he's with us anymore. Nine times. Otani reached base nine times.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, there are three people.
Three people who have reached base that many times in
a regular season game. Never happened in the postseason. He
was walked in intentionally on four at bats, and he
(27:03):
also had a five pitch unintentional a walk. So there
are four players in baseball history that have done it,
and they're all like really old dudes, like nineteen twenty two,
nineteen thirty two, nineteen forty two a long time ago.
The Dodgers used ten pitchers. Ten pitchers in this game,
which is next level forty four overall players too, shy
(27:28):
of the record set by the Dodgers in Red Sox
back in twenty eighteen, so there is that there were
seventy two. Seventy two is the number of year pitches
thrown by Dodger reliever Will Klein. Will clinb seventy two pitches.
He doubled his previous big league career high in the
World Series. And let's see, I'm gonna play a game here.
(27:51):
Let's see nobody cheat. All right, we're doing it. We're
gonna ask a weed man. I know. Here the question
is how many total pitches were there in the game?
How many total pitches between the Blue Jays and the
Dodgers closest one wins without going over We're doing ask
a weed man. But we're gonna ask the question total
number of pitches combined for the Dodgers and the Blue Jays.
(28:17):
I know, I know the number. I am not eligible
to play, weed man. Would you like to take a guess?
Weed man? We'll let you go first. I have no clue. Okay,
is it no clue? Lorena? Two hundred pitches? Okay, that's
a great guest. I was gonna guess two fifty eight
to fifty eight? All right, Cooper Looo.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Well, so I saw an update around the like thirteenth
or fourteenth in age. All right, so I'm gonna guess
five tenty what that's.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
A lot of pitches? Cool? Well, it turns out that
according to the people that keep track of this boy,
that must be a fun job. Is hey? I doing that?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Six hundred and nine pitches. Oh, six hundred and nine
pitches in the World Series Game three hundred and twelve.
The Dodger pitchers through three hundred and twelve pitches. The
Blue Jay pitchers accounted for two hundred and ninety seven.
And they have the they have the pitch clock. So
(29:20):
how much time was shaved off between the last eighteen
inning game where there was no pitch clock in twenty
eighteen and over? Yeah, it was over seven hours. So
this this game. That game lasted seven hours and twenty minutes.
This game lasted six hours and thirty nine minutes. So
I used my computer like brain. That is forty one
minutes of time saved because of the pitch clock. Forty
(29:42):
one minutes of time. Yeah, thank you. That's right. Saddleback college, baby,
you think my teacher's there at Saddleback? All right? We
have ask a weed Man and let's see here. Let's
say hello to Rick in Manhattan. It's ask a weed
man in Miami. His name is Billy. Hello. What did

Speaker 3 (31:26):

Speaker 3 (31:40):
I had a store.

It was like a place for me to go.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
It was like home to me when I had a toy.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I got you, all right, we could make a movie
about weed Man's life. We could do like you work
at a toy store.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
I was like.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Everyone loved him, and he ended up sitting in a
lifeguard tower during a hurricane for an over night talk
radio show. It's just just great, all right, late night
drug tester says, hey, weed Man, when there are emergency
shelters set up for hurricanes, are you always the last
one to leave? The cushy set up you have that
(32:17):
you can't get it? Ferd Dog writes in he says, hey,
weed Man, what's the best thing you ever found to
eat while dumpster diving? Great question, great question.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
You'd be surprised.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
I I want I found, I found the whole obster ones.
Oh my goodness, man, you ate it. They come with
aid of butter.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Oh god, no, no, but it was it was a
whole obster.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Now did you ever think why would someone throw away
a whole opster? And that there might be something wrong
with the lobster? But you got to eat right, you're hungry,
you want to eat. All right, Let's go to Josh,
who's in New York. It's ask a weed man, our
friend weed man, hippie there in Miami. Hello, Josh.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Weed Man. I had three questions to you. If the
federal government legalized weed in pots, could you pay up
the national debt? That would be one big joint And
that was great. Do you, weed man? Do you have
trouble round goats? Because goats like the weed and also
love you.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I would love to nominate you to be the Democratic
nominee for president in twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
That's a great idea. Oh, oh there it is. There
you go. There's a Stephen Manhattan phony phone call for Steve.
There you go, all right, Good job by Steven Manhattan,
good phony phone call. There might have a chance. I
think I would vote for you for weed man. Here's
a question. Here's a question from Ed weed Man. What
(33:44):
do you think of that new sky stadium they're building
in Saudi Arabia? Do you hear about this? Weed Man?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
No, Yeah, they're constructing the world's first ever sky stadium.
It is going to be suspended eleven and fifty feet
above ground. They're they're building it for the World Cup
in twenty thirty four. It's going to open in twenty
thirty two. So essentially, I'm looking at what a video
(34:10):
it's going to look like. It's it's a it's a
full soccer stadium on top of a skyscraper.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Is it just a consalized idea or is this actually happening?
