Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number for the original Recipe podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Happy Thursday to you.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's the twenty fifth day of July, the last Thursday,
last Thursday in the month of July. Here an hour
number four. We go to South Beach where our radio
caller weed Man Hippie is still in jail and Tua
Tongue Bai Loa is also in purgatory. If you will,
he will be in training camp, but he will be
(00:29):
a hold in. He's not going to participate. So how
do the Dolphins handle their starting quarterback not actually practicing?
We'll talk about that. Trent Williams joined the list of
disgruntled forty Niner players. Can San Francisco survive all of
this contract?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Drama?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
A Rama and Dan Campbell had an epic rant about
the Lions not being worried about reputation instead living off work.
What is your viewpoint on this? We'll get to all
of that and much more right now. Thank you, Thank you,
thank you for downloading this.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Here it is our number four. Swimming with the Dolphins. Welmeume.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show,
we are.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
In the air everywhere. Teammates as we say we are
loving it. Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond
on the vast and colossally powerful microphones of fs are
ambating live from the baton as we take the baton
(01:41):
and the relay race of sports takes. We're broadcasting live
from the tyraq dot com studios tyract dot com. We'll
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommending installers.
Horse Napkins, the great joke writer, sent that many jokes
(02:02):
in tire act dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
The way tire buying showed b in our lead. This
hour comes from standing down or sitting down, if you will.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's the AFC East story. I think you know where
we're going with this, but maybe not. A starting quarterback
on a mid level contender making waves Tua tongue of
my law. Now Tua is participating in Dolphins training camp.
Practice is on a limited basis, right, he's holding in,
(02:39):
holding in instead of holding out. Now what does that mean?
In layman's terms? It means that he's not totally away,
but he's not really there. Like he's physically there, but
not really Do you understand?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So this is what I want to talk to you about.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
This has become the new normal for disgruntled NFL players
because it's less expensive then holding out, because if you
hold out, you get fifty thousand dollars a day fined.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That doesn't happen here.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So the question, Tua Tongue Bai looa a training camp holding.
How do the Dolphins handle this? So I've got toolbox,
whack a mole, and caterpillar, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to punch
(03:27):
the sky, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So to kick off here, I've been pretty open.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
We've talked about Tua over the last few months and
his plight to get a new contract, and we don't
think he's all that good. We don't run the Dolphins,
though maybe they disagree with us. So Tua is playing
the game right, He's got the negotiating power. He's the
starting quarterback for the Miami football team. And if I
was too, I would do the same thing, because this
(03:53):
is a this is what you do right. This is
going into the toolbox, deep into your toolbox. In recent years,
this has become normalized and not stigmatized across the landscape
of the NFL, we have seen similar action. It's the
football version of a slow down strike. Employees remain on
the job, but it's a strike. They don't stop working
(04:17):
as far as showing up to work, but they restrict
the output in an organized, systematic manner and the go
slow tactic.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
If you will, which is just don't even.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Practice, and that puts pressure on In this case the Dolphins,
the employer, and the players.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
From their side, they're like, well, this.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Is standing up for what we believe in and we're
fighting the machine. And I get that part of it.
The NFL makes gobs of money. We know how much
money they make. The Green Bay Packers have to release
their financial information.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's put on the internet every year.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But this is a battle to get more money, and
good luck and all that. But from the Dolphins side
of things, they clearly don't think that Tua tongue of
Bailoa is worth top level money, right and spoiler alert,
he's not right too. Is a bus rider. He's not
a bus driver.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
He does not possess the star dust. Now, the argument
for Tua.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Is that if this goes on long enough, it affects
the Dolphins early in the season, they'll get off to
a sluggish start in September and October when they usually
do very well at home because the weather's very hot
and people have problems playing in Miami early in the year,
and then Miami will be buried by then.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The backup is ex Jet Mike White, who's not good.
But you do get lightning in a bottle from time
to time with the backup quarterback, So stay tuned on that.
It is more likely than not that Tua Tongueabai Looa
will be back practicing with the Dolphins. They'll figure something
out and he'll be back there by early to mid August,
(05:52):
so it'll a little last a week or so and
then we'll be back. Now furthermore, we go now to
the Bay Area where the forty nine ers all Pro
left tackle Trent Williams.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He's not.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
He's not sitting out in terms of like Tua we
just talked about toa the slowdown strike and all that,
the hold in, no, no, no, no, Trent Williams is holding out.
He joined the long list of disgruntled forty nine er
players who are not there. So can the San Francisco
football team survive all of these contract drama a ramas.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So John Lynch.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Right now is playing an arcade game of whack a mole,
is what he's doing. The forty nine ers have had success,
and when you have success, not that they've won, this
generation of the forty nine ers, but they've been to
the Super Bowl a couple times, and so now everyone
and their mother is popping up for a raise. Brandon
iuc the big one. He started the party, and now
(06:52):
Trent Williams is like, hold my beer. Now the Williams
thing should be small potatoes.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's an easy fix.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's an easy fix, much like the Rams did with
Matthew Stafford. Trent Williams is thirty six, so he's an
older player. He has no guaranteed money, as I understand it,
remaining on his contract God forbid, which means which means
that you know his contract runs through twenty twenty six.
So all the forty nine ers have to do is
come up with some funny money, do the math, and
(07:21):
then da da, All of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Trent Williams is a happy camper.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But it's not going to end there, see because then
brock Perty's his number comes up he's in line, the
conga line and he's gonna get a lottery payout that'll
be after this upcoming season. And the hits just keep
on coming and coming and coming.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
For the forty nine ers. But is a good problem
to have.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's like, hey, you're good, so people want to get
paid a lot of money, and you have a lot
of money, so it's all good in the neighborhood. Now,
last thing, we go to the Motor City because some
sound we're gonna play here in a minute, Dan Campbell
beloved to all gas bags and blowhole.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
Dan Campbell. When this guy speaks, we listen. Good.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Good.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So the Lions began practicing this week and Dan Campbell
was asked what he was telling his Detroit players before
this season officially get started. After all, this is uncharted
territory for the Lions. You gotta go back to the
days of Bobby Lane, the last time a Lions team
(08:29):
was the favorite. And many people have the Lions as
a favorites either Detroit or green Bay in that division.
And the Detroit was in the NFC title game last year.
That's unusual. That's never happened in my life. And so
Campbell revealed his messaging to the media in a way
that made this it seemed like you were in the
(08:51):
locker room rather than me tell you what he said.
Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Here is Dan.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Campbell, head coach of the Lions, on the message to
the team.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's all about the work. We don't live off reputation.
We live off of work, and that's what's gotten us
where we're at. It's been a long, hard road to
get to where we're at right now, and there's a
price to be paid, and so we got to go
pay it again. That's the message and it'll always be
the message.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Okay, So what is your reaction Dan Campbell's epic rant
there about the lines you just heard it not being
worried about reputation instead, we live off work.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
We live off work, all right? So what's your your
point of this?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So this is the personification of Dan Campbell.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I give it a chef's kiss, is what I give it.
I do.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I'm not a Lions fan, but I'm a Dan Campbell fan.
He also did the meat head forty updowns to start camp,
which he's done the last couple of seasons, so he
did the forty updowns. But Dan Campbell, let me tell
you something, in my life, very rarely do you get
off to the kind of start Dan Campbell got off
to and find yourself in this position. Now, if you've
been listening to the show for a long time, you'd
(09:59):
likely remember. Maybe you don't that I supported Dan Campbell,
not that it matters, But while everyone was killing him,
why they hire this guy?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I was like, this guy's great. This guy is a
gift from the radio gods. Thank you think you think you?
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
So now as I take a couple of steps back
and I look out at the the SERENGETI Dan Campbell
is like a caterpillar. He's undergone a metamorphosis. When he
was hired, right everyone said, oh, this guy's a dope.
And just like the caterpillar thought it, you know, it's
world was over.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It then turns into a beautiful butterfly.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And he went from being perceived as the clownish, biting
knee caps coach and the village idiot, and now he's
an evil genius. He's a great motivational coach. And maybe
he's not so good at the x's and o's because
of all the nonsense he did with the analytics in
the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
However, it's working, Hello, it is working.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It is Ben Mallord Show, which is also working right now.
If you would like to be part, we open up
the lines here. Speakeasy rules are in effect, but you
can join us if you know the number.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Also on X at Ben Mahlor, that is at Ben
Mahlor if you would like to take part in the program.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
A couple of notes, The Malord Palooza is coming up
on Sunday into Monday, So depending on where you are
on the East coast, two am Monday morning, on the
West Coast eleven pm late on Monday or Sunday night.
And it's one of the great events that we do,
the Mallord Palooza, and we're gonna have all kinds of acts.
It's a variety show meets a freak show. It's a
(11:39):
talent show. It's a little bit of this, a little
bit of that. There's something for everything. We've got music,
we've got poetry. You just don't understand the amount of
talent that the overnight listener has. And we we present
rather a stage to present that talent. It's like one
of those cheesy realities show American Idol or something like that,
(12:01):
where we provide a forum to showcase the talent that
is out there that is hidden because people don't have
access to that stage. And then on August third, which
is a week from Saturday, we'll be saying Viva las Vegas,
Viva Las Vegas. We will be hanging out with you
in Sin City the entire show. This is not a
(12:24):
sanctioned event through Fox Sports Radio that would require them
spending money.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
This is just us.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
We're just doing our own thing and we're spending our
own money to go hang out with you.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
So I would love for you to show up.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Obviously you're in Vegas or in southern Nevada, it's easy
for you. But if you're within driving distance and it's
something you want to do, I can't tell you the
next time this is going to happen. Normally, when we
do these Mallard meet and greets, I'm usually the only
one that does it right. I've done these all over
Green Bays, Charleston, South Carolina, did one in Pittsburgh years ago, Syracuse,
we did one in Seattle. We've been all over the place,
(12:58):
but this is one of the rare ones where everyone's there,
all right. We did one of these in southern California
where we had I think everyone was. I don't know
if Roberto showed up. I think I think he might
have skipped out actually when he was with the show.
But Lorraine's gonna be there, Coop, Eddie, I'll be there.
So if you want to go, we'd love to see you.
Hope you can show up in a couple hours and
then it'll be like an after party. A lot of
(13:19):
the big fans of the show are friends with each
other and they make friends and then these things and
they go out and have.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
A grand time. So look forward to that.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I just want to let you know in case they're interested.
Now straight ahead for us, we'll take your calls. Also,
punk the world with Eddie. We'll get to that, and
a wild story from college football involving the Texas Longhorns.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
We'll go there as well. We will do it all,
and we will do it next.

Later this our Factor Fiction Puck.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
The world's a big hour, big hour ahead, and we're
in the middle of it right now.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
We're in the middle of the soup. We're in the
soup as we speak.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
We'll get back to the calls coming up in a moment,
and we'll also have a fun fact at the bottom
of the hour. Supermarket Steve says, I would like to
say my employees act like they're on a showdown, a
slowdown strike, but I just think they suck. Yeah, Well,
(15:59):
you know, you work at a grocery store and do
you get paid the same I'm not sure how it works.
Like if you put everything that needs to be put
away in two hours, do they still pay you for
the full night of work, because then they're like, whoa,
he just don't you don't need eight hours, it's paying
for two hours. Isn't that always the argument with with
(16:20):
government jobs that you just you gotta take your time,
go slow.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You're getting paid no matter what.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You don't want to do it too quick because then
they'll expect it and all that stuff. Matt the Warrior
Raider fan says, I cannot stand the extra soft toilet paper.
That stuff Lee get out leaves crumbs. He says, I'm
team one Ply.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Oh boy wow ew this guy yeah, terrible toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Tom Brady, he ripped a Tom Brady roast, that schmuck. Matt.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
At Costco, they have the choice. You can get the
Ultrasoft and they also have the Ultra Strong, and the
Ultra Strong is the way to go.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I have been told the Kirkland brand is I don't
get the Kurkling brand. But I'm told they've upgraded the
Kurkling brand toilet paper. But I don't know because I
haven't gotten it because I get the more expensive stuff
that's usually.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Where I go. It does seem softer?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I use it?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, you use And I touched my toilet paper a
couple of days ago and I was like, why does
it seem fluffier?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Why I'm still going to go with the more expensive stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, I go. I go high end on that.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, I go.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I definitely go high end. I will take some of.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
These calls and let's see your eenie Meani, miney Moe.
Let's say hello to Mike the Leprecaun in the Boston area.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Good morning man, how are you good? I know I'm
in deer number one. I have forty six followers and.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
X congratulations forty six.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
But I just started. I just started last week. Okay,
did Coop get my picture of my new car? Now?
I send an email to you?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Okay, Oh you send an email? Oh wow, who's you?
Speaker 8 (18:05):
I sent you an email?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
You can send pictures on on the X machine there.
Did you know that?
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Okay? Well don't I will? You're particularly responding? Am I
still off a tree? Fifteen A Monday, Sunday Monday?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
What what are you going?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
To be doing.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You're doing a limerick? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 8 (18:22):
No, no, no, no. I told you a song an
Irish paddy with a drum.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Called bahron Ron, And you're going to have the drum
with you?
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Yes, of course I'm going to stay black.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
How many Irish instruments do you have?
Speaker 8 (18:34):
I have quite a handful. But did you see the
video idea send of the cow sniffing the woman of
the what?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I saw that? I saw that. I saw that one.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
That's not that.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, there was a cow sniffing and knock the woman
into the water. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
And so the prep temperature sixty nine. And I'm here
in my breeze. I'm up to about seven thousand calories
for the day. And here's the math.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
What kind of food? What kind of foods do you eat?
Do you eat like cakes?
Speaker 8 (19:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
No?
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Are you healthy? No? No, God, you're kidding me? Are
you very healthy? But right now, that's why they were
doing a bad a bunk eggs? But I was waiting.
So one of those juicy dumplings is three hundred sixty
eight calories. I had a three packs of those time six,
so that's six six twenty four calories not counting the
soy or the ginners.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Okay, okay, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And it's like it's like eating with Marcella, food takes
with Marcella. So how much do you let me ask
you this, take a break, Lepra, how much do you
run in order to eat that amount of.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
Food on average? Between thirty thousand steps and forty thousand
per day per day on average, I need that calorie
into how.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Many what is that? How many miles? Is that?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
There's no way about twelve miles?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
There's no way. I only walk twenty thousand steps at
Disney on my longest days at Disney.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Are you walking around your whole like city all day?
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Yes? But well often, like I said, I was helping
the homeless in Birmingham, for sure, I was, but usually
it's my backyard. Are walking around the house or my classrooms?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Possible? There's no way you get that many steps.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Lorata says, you're a liar.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
I would like to see another natural phenomena called the
sun blocked the eclipse. And again I wrap up here.
When I grew up in Ireland, we had dog leaves
within the toilet paper. And lastly, Password, I'm going to
give you a game. You can all jomplaints when you
want it's a country. The name of country.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Ireland, No, Europe, European Poland soccer Spain.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You got it.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
I was going to say Iberia or Barcelona being game
by all right?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I want again win.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
You're cheating, you're cheating, Eddie that he is a cheater.
He's emailing the leprechaun. Is that how how he does it?
I think? Tell he does it right? He complains, where
where's nelada?
Speaker 8 (21:05):
Where's my number two? Jingle? I thought this?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I told you it was trash and I wasn't gonna
use it.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Come on, I liked it? Yes, try it again? Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Didn't you hate you hated it?
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Ben?
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Do not?
Speaker 8 (21:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
You did not?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
When all right? Three two one go? No, that's good.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
That's a keeper.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
That's a keeper right there. We'll put that in.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And we need somebody else to call up with a
number three in the number four because we have four
hours in the show, so I need I need a
number three and a number four.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
What who said?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Are you still on the air, judge? Are your friends?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Can you imagine the conversation to those two go man
Irish guy and and Jed walking around the swamp.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
On X.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
He gave me the ultimate challenge to get I would.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Read man, to bail out weed Man, hippie.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
No, not to put him out.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
That's what they call it. Bail him out? Are you
Are you mean you mean to have him come to
Boston and live with you.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
There's a five bedroom house there, so I guess the room.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I don't think you could do it, though, here's the question. No,
but think about this though. That would be great for
our show to have weed Man and the leprechaun living together.
My god, that would be a dream. But here's here's
the question, though, weed Man every time, hold on sex.
Every time we've tried to get weed Man a place,
and it's outside. Because a few listeners over the years
(22:40):
have offered to put weed Man up outside of Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He does not want to leave, even.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Though he gets arrested every other month in Florida and
sits in jail. He would rather be in a jail
in Florida than the world. But I would think if
you assume.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
You have a heater, yes you're not. Do you have
a heater at the home?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Of course there if it's cold outside, and you know
in Massachusetts, you just turn on the heater and be
you fine.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
So the two millions dot a home.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Look at that guy, Look at that humble brag, Look
at that flex right there. Yeah, all right, I got
I gotta go. You've been on the ten minutes. I
gotta go ten minutes. Right, thank you? There goes the leprechaun.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Do you think he bought the home with his pot
of gold?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
That's what? Why wouldn't you do it? Were a leprechaun?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Has a crazy imagination? Is still does not like the
claim both steps.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Million dollar home.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Steps in a day, seven million calories. I don't want
to hear it. I just I don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well, I will tell you, and I'm not going to
name this person, but there was a person in radio
that had let's just say, some issues mentally and that
they parlayed that into a Hall of fame career.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
So you know, you could go places.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
You either take the meds or you could end up
going places who knows, and you might end up in jail.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
To be sure to catch live editions of the Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific,

Speaker 3 (24:06):

a team spying on another team's practice.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Oh yeah, it was sneaky, sneaky?

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Fun fact those of fun stories the first one and
we'll get to Eddie and Puck the world here in
a minute. Texas Tech in beautiful Lubbock, Texas Red Raiders
guns up. Yes they are paying in the transfer portal
someone one million dollars. You want to think, I guess
what sport, Eddie? This person plays a million ball? No softball, Eddie,
(26:21):
a softball is going to get one million dollars from
Texas tech. How can they possibly make that money back?
Does anyone watch soft?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
But why would you sy?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I mean no, I don't know who this woman is,
but good good for her, I guess. But one million
if you invest in the transfer portal, isn't it because
you got like the star player and that's going to
increase revenues to your football program or your basketball program.
I don't get it, but they they're going to do it.
And the other story from Texas this is a flashback
to a story we talked about a couple of years
ago in the show and it was a great story.
We have a follow up a Texas Longhorns. Texas long
(27:00):
Horns a special teams coordinator Jeff Banks is the guy's name.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Well, congratulations to them. He recently red.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
His girlfriend, Danny Thomas, who is a stripper better known
as the Pole Assassin.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Got married over the weekend. That's her name, the Pole Assassin.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Now. The reason that we know of her the Pole Assassin,
is because her pet monkey attacked a child on Halloween
a couple of years ago. Yeah, we do not know
whether or not the primate was at the wedding. We're
not sure about that. But congratulations to the Texas Tech
(27:39):
Special Teams coach Jeff Banks and the Pole Assassin, the
happy newlyweds.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Wonderful, just tremendous. Now I have it.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
What I do with We're gonna do puck the Wars.
So I have a story that I have here. We'll
see if Eddie gets to it or not. If not,
I will, I will reprimand.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Eddie, why can't it just be a hockey fun fact?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Well, it's not necessarily fun. It's a hockey story.
Speaker 8 (28:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well, let's get to it right now. We'll puck Bewell.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Let me say, Eddie Garson, all right, Ben, we start
with controversy in the NHL with the Edvonton Noodle is
hiring Stan Bowman as general manager and executive vice president
of hockey Operations. He is the first former Chicago Blackhawks
executive rehired since the team's sexual assault scandal back in
twenty ten. Bowman did guide the Blackhawks the Stanley Cup
titles in twenty ten, twenty thirteen, and twenty fifteen, but
(28:28):
resigned as GM in twenty twenty one after an investigation
found that the organization failed to address allegations made by
player Kyle Beach. After he was sexually assaulted by video
coach Brad Aldridge. Former NHL player Sheldon Kennedy, who revealed
after his playing career that he was sexually abused by
a coach in junior hockey, he's been an advocate for
abused victims in hockey. He came out publicly endorsing Bowman,
(28:50):
explaining that the work he's done in recent years has
apparently been positive. Bowman said he also reached out to
Kyle Beach, the victim of the abuse scandal, to tell
him he was getting this job. Nothing it said, They
had a productive conversation.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Was Edmonton far enough off the grid where it doesn't matter,
like get you know some cities in America, you couldn't
do it.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Not in Canada when it comes to hockey. No, no, no, no,
this will be page one, top of the life story.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
He must be a good executive, otherwise they.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Would won three Stanley Cups in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, well that's what I'm saying. So they're like, hey,
is the guy that we can win the Stanley Cup with,
So we're willing to do it.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Well yeah, but they're also getting freak of seed by
a lot of the media.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
It's all fake nonsense. People are just still watch the games.
They're still going to go to the games. So it's
just it's just like full outrage, is what it is.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Well, I don't know. I mean he did, you know,
kind of cover up. He didn't cover it up, but
he just kind of ignored it. And he also didn't
call the police on this guy.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I think the Edmonton Oilers are going to lose market
share because they hired this day.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Probably not exactly, That's my point, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, I mean there's there, there's there's I don't be
a lot. I don't think it's a full outrage though.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I think it's legitimate.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
But I think it's just people anytime Edmonton does anything
and be like, oh, you know, bring they bring this up.
But they're still gonna watch the games and they're still
gonna go to the games and all that. That's from
a business standpoint. They're gonna make their money. They probably
need more money if they if they get winning the scene.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
You could also argue they were one went away from
winning the Stanley Cup without him.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
So yeah, it's not like it's not like that said
how bad that you said how bad they were, Eddie,
you told me how bad they all said.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
They were gonna lose, and they did and I was right, Well,
but I do you do need to bring in this
this kind of news?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well, you.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Cup, you're the hockey guy, but aren't. They had a
fork in the road with Leon dry Sidle and he's
gonna set it up about that, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I'm moving on. Phoenix Sun's owner Matt Ishbia.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Has his that's the story, Eddie, that's the story. Good
job by you.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Has his sight set on bringing hockey back to Arizona
after the Coyote is relocated to Salt Lake City after
this season. Ishbia told Sportico quote, it's definitely something I'm
interested in. It's a four sport town. I'm disappointed we
don't have hockey. I understand what happened and we're trying
to fix that in one day end quote. He didn't
reveal if he's been talking to the NHL. He did
talk about getting a new arena and that could also
(31:08):
be a future home for an NHL expansion franchise. Speaking
of new arenas, Calgary Flames have started construction on their
new sixteen thousand seed eight hundred million dollars home. The
new arena will replace the forty one year old Saddle Dome,
expected to be completed in twenty twenty seven. The old
Saddle Dome actually looked like a saddle, added a distinct look.
The Flames released some artist renderings of the new Scotia Arena.
(31:29):
It's been nicknamed the Cauldron, with the top part of
the arena roof looking like it has flames on it,
so it's kind of cool looking. NHL head coaching vacancy,
the final one has been filled. Columbus Blue Jackets hire
former Minnesota Wild head coach Dean Everson as our next
head coach. Fourth coach for the team in the last
three seasons, including Mike Babcock, who has hired and fired
before we ever coached the game with the team. It
(31:49):
seems it is a lot. It is a lot, and
they're not very good. Evanson coached the Wild for parts
of five seasons. They've made the playoffs four straight years
but lost in the first round every time. This one
is just for Andy the common God, because well, he
loves Buffalo and this is a funny name to say.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
That he's in Buffalo. He's visiting his dad.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Oh well, he's got to be very excited that the
Sabers have signed goalie Uka Pecca Lucanan to a five year,
twenty three point seventy five mino contract Uka Pecca Lucan
better known as UPL. And finally, Philadelphia Flyers very excited
about their recent first DRUP pick, Mattvey Mitshkov. He was
expected to play in Russia for several years, but he's
changed his mind. He's coming to the US and actually
(32:26):
he arrived this week. And your boy Keith Jones and
the team.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I love it. I love Jones.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The team's JM. Danny Brier literally picked him up at
the airport.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
They nice.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
They didn't send a car, they didn't get a driver.
They literally drove their car to the airport. He hitted
him up and there's pictures of them carrying his luggage
and his hockey sticks through the airport.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
That is great. So Keith Jones is the GM of
the Flyers.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
He's the President of Hockey Operations. The GM is Daniel Bier,
Air former player.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
All right, I worked with didn't We worked together at
NBC years ago. And I love Keith Jones, one of
the coolest guys.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Also, somebody in the Philly and the Flyers. Pr had
the good sense to put a Phillies hat on meech
Golf as he was walking through the airport, so he
immediately Philadelphia fans are in love with this guy. So
we'll see if it works out for him. And that's
your plucked the World Report.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
All right, more more stories this week.
Speaker 2 (33:15):

it's going to be the YEDDI that they're done it.
Speaker 1 (33:21):

here we go, yety, here we go. Yeah that was
as a horrible PLoP.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. Also I failed to mention this.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I don't have much time, but Elon Musk has challenged
Mark Zuckerberg to a fight again.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Do you think it's gonna happen this time? It didn't
happen last night. No, I want to see it.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
He should do is like demolition derby Elon Buskin, like
a Tesla truck and then what would Zuckerberg be And

high end car. Anyway, it is the Ben Malischow. If

Speaker 2 (36:49):
All right, hold on, cowboy, you're one of my judges.
Three stories now, all of every part of the story
has to be true. If part of it's not true,
that's that's what you're looking for. So you've got to
separate fiction from in fact.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Story number one.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
With the NBA returning to NBC for the first time
in over twenty years, many have wondered if we will
also be blessed with the return of round Ball Rock.
The answer is sort of, John Tesh revealing recently that
he has collaborated with Doctor Dre to make a remix
(37:24):
on NBC dubbed round Ball Rap. I can't wait to
hear that unless I can wait a long time. And
story number two, it's all about the money. Well, if
you're Haley Welch, that's the hawk to a girl Internet famous.
She is inked deal with leaf trading cards for an
(37:44):
exclusive series of collectibles fans can buy a pack of
for one hundred dollars, and each batch will feature one
autograph card from the Hawk to a woman, and it'll
have a unique inscription.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
And story number three.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
It's all a about that Olympic protection, not that kind
of protection. Athletes arriving at Perie for the Summer Olympics,
which begin officially on Friday, but they're underway right now,
are presented with a gift package to welcome package, all
kinds of goodies, of cell phone, water bottles, toilet trees,
and a bag of rubbers, a bag of condoms, custom
(38:20):
patching packaging featuring slogans like fair play, safe play and
no need to be a gold medalist to wear it.
And those are the three stories? Which are the three
is not true? Quickly, let's go to the power couple. First,
Jack the judge, Leslie, Leslie one two or three? Leslie
number three?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Number three? All right, very good, keg drinking Steve. What's
the answer, Steve?
Speaker 3 (38:43):
I believe the answer is number.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Number three?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
The condom story. How about you art puffin. I'm gonna
go number two, number two, doing number two.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Let's see who's next. Milkman Mike Colorado twoo two. All right,
Cowboy John Brad.
Speaker 5 (39:05):
I'm gonna say number one, number.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
One, Reveal answers, reveal answers. Well, Cowboy John Brad, you
are a winner.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, there's no round Ball rap with John Tesh and
Doctor dre H. They are bringing back Roundball Rock to NBC,
but not the rap. Version Number one was the story
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number for the original Recipe podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Happy Thursday to you.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's the twenty fifth day of July, the last Thursday,
last Thursday in the month of July. Here an hour
number four. We go to South Beach where our radio
caller weed Man Hippie is still in jail and Tua
Tongue Bai Loa is also in purgatory. If you will,
he will be in training camp, but he will be
(00:29):
a hold in. He's not going to participate. So how
do the Dolphins handle their starting quarterback not actually practicing?
We'll talk about that. Trent Williams joined the list of
disgruntled forty Niner players. Can San Francisco survive all of
this contract?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Drama?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
A Rama and Dan Campbell had an epic rant about
the Lions not being worried about reputation instead living off work.
What is your viewpoint on this? We'll get to all
of that and much more right now. Thank you, Thank you,
thank you for downloading this.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Here it is our number four. Swimming with the Dolphins. Welmeume.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show,
we are.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
In the air everywhere. Teammates as we say we are
loving it. Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond
on the vast and colossally powerful microphones of fs are
ambating live from the baton as we take the baton
(01:41):
and the relay race of sports takes. We're broadcasting live
from the tyraq dot com studios tyract dot com. We'll
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommending installers.
Horse Napkins, the great joke writer, sent that many jokes
(02:02):
in tire act dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
The way tire buying showed b in our lead. This
hour comes from standing down or sitting down, if you will.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's the AFC East story. I think you know where
we're going with this, but maybe not. A starting quarterback
on a mid level contender making waves Tua tongue of
my law. Now Tua is participating in Dolphins training camp.
Practice is on a limited basis, right, he's holding in,
(02:39):
holding in instead of holding out. Now what does that mean?
In layman's terms? It means that he's not totally away,
but he's not really there. Like he's physically there, but
not really Do you understand?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So this is what I want to talk to you about.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
This has become the new normal for disgruntled NFL players
because it's less expensive then holding out, because if you
hold out, you get fifty thousand dollars a day fined.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That doesn't happen here.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So the question, Tua Tongue Bai looa a training camp holding.
How do the Dolphins handle this? So I've got toolbox,
whack a mole, and caterpillar, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to punch
(03:27):
the sky, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So to kick off here, I've been pretty open.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
We've talked about Tua over the last few months and
his plight to get a new contract, and we don't
think he's all that good. We don't run the Dolphins,
though maybe they disagree with us. So Tua is playing
the game right, He's got the negotiating power. He's the
starting quarterback for the Miami football team. And if I
was too, I would do the same thing, because this
(03:53):
is a this is what you do right. This is
going into the toolbox, deep into your toolbox. In recent years,
this has become normalized and not stigmatized across the landscape
of the NFL, we have seen similar action. It's the
football version of a slow down strike. Employees remain on
the job, but it's a strike. They don't stop working
(04:17):
as far as showing up to work, but they restrict
the output in an organized, systematic manner and the go
slow tactic.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
If you will, which is just don't even.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Practice, and that puts pressure on In this case the Dolphins,
the employer, and the players.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
From their side, they're like, well, this.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Is standing up for what we believe in and we're
fighting the machine. And I get that part of it.
The NFL makes gobs of money. We know how much
money they make. The Green Bay Packers have to release
their financial information.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's put on the internet every year.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But this is a battle to get more money, and
good luck and all that. But from the Dolphins side
of things, they clearly don't think that Tua tongue of
Bailoa is worth top level money, right and spoiler alert,
he's not right too. Is a bus rider. He's not
a bus driver.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
He does not possess the star dust. Now, the argument
for Tua.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Is that if this goes on long enough, it affects
the Dolphins early in the season, they'll get off to
a sluggish start in September and October when they usually
do very well at home because the weather's very hot
and people have problems playing in Miami early in the year,
and then Miami will be buried by then.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The backup is ex Jet Mike White, who's not good.
But you do get lightning in a bottle from time
to time with the backup quarterback, So stay tuned on that.
It is more likely than not that Tua Tongueabai Looa
will be back practicing with the Dolphins. They'll figure something
out and he'll be back there by early to mid August,
(05:52):
so it'll a little last a week or so and
then we'll be back. Now furthermore, we go now to
the Bay Area where the forty nine ers all Pro
left tackle Trent Williams.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He's not.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
He's not sitting out in terms of like Tua we
just talked about toa the slowdown strike and all that,
the hold in, no, no, no, no, Trent Williams is holding out.
He joined the long list of disgruntled forty nine er
players who are not there. So can the San Francisco
football team survive all of these contract drama a ramas.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So John Lynch.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Right now is playing an arcade game of whack a mole,
is what he's doing. The forty nine ers have had success,
and when you have success, not that they've won, this
generation of the forty nine ers, but they've been to
the Super Bowl a couple times, and so now everyone
and their mother is popping up for a raise. Brandon
iuc the big one. He started the party, and now
(06:52):
Trent Williams is like, hold my beer. Now the Williams
thing should be small potatoes.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's an easy fix.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's an easy fix, much like the Rams did with
Matthew Stafford. Trent Williams is thirty six, so he's an
older player. He has no guaranteed money, as I understand it,
remaining on his contract God forbid, which means which means
that you know his contract runs through twenty twenty six.
So all the forty nine ers have to do is
come up with some funny money, do the math, and
(07:21):
then da da, All of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Trent Williams is a happy camper.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But it's not going to end there, see because then
brock Perty's his number comes up he's in line, the
conga line and he's gonna get a lottery payout that'll
be after this upcoming season. And the hits just keep
on coming and coming and coming.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
For the forty nine ers. But is a good problem
to have.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's like, hey, you're good, so people want to get
paid a lot of money, and you have a lot
of money, so it's all good in the neighborhood. Now,
last thing, we go to the Motor City because some
sound we're gonna play here in a minute, Dan Campbell
beloved to all gas bags and blowhole.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
Dan Campbell. When this guy speaks, we listen. Good.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Good.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So the Lions began practicing this week and Dan Campbell
was asked what he was telling his Detroit players before
this season officially get started. After all, this is uncharted
territory for the Lions. You gotta go back to the
days of Bobby Lane, the last time a Lions team
(08:29):
was the favorite. And many people have the Lions as
a favorites either Detroit or green Bay in that division.
And the Detroit was in the NFC title game last year.
That's unusual. That's never happened in my life. And so
Campbell revealed his messaging to the media in a way
that made this it seemed like you were in the
(08:51):
locker room rather than me tell you what he said.
Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Here is Dan.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Campbell, head coach of the Lions, on the message to
the team.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's all about the work. We don't live off reputation.
We live off of work, and that's what's gotten us
where we're at. It's been a long, hard road to
get to where we're at right now, and there's a
price to be paid, and so we got to go
pay it again. That's the message and it'll always be
the message.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Okay, So what is your reaction Dan Campbell's epic rant
there about the lines you just heard it not being
worried about reputation instead, we live off work.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
We live off work, all right? So what's your your
point of this?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So this is the personification of Dan Campbell.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I give it a chef's kiss, is what I give it.
I do.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I'm not a Lions fan, but I'm a Dan Campbell fan.
He also did the meat head forty updowns to start camp,
which he's done the last couple of seasons, so he
did the forty updowns. But Dan Campbell, let me tell
you something, in my life, very rarely do you get
off to the kind of start Dan Campbell got off
to and find yourself in this position. Now, if you've
been listening to the show for a long time, you'd
(09:59):
likely remember. Maybe you don't that I supported Dan Campbell,
not that it matters, But while everyone was killing him,
why they hire this guy?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I was like, this guy's great. This guy is a
gift from the radio gods. Thank you think you think you?
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
So now as I take a couple of steps back
and I look out at the the SERENGETI Dan Campbell
is like a caterpillar. He's undergone a metamorphosis. When he
was hired, right everyone said, oh, this guy's a dope.
And just like the caterpillar thought it, you know, it's
world was over.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It then turns into a beautiful butterfly.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And he went from being perceived as the clownish, biting
knee caps coach and the village idiot, and now he's
an evil genius. He's a great motivational coach. And maybe
he's not so good at the x's and o's because
of all the nonsense he did with the analytics in
the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
However, it's working, Hello, it is working.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It is Ben Mallord Show, which is also working right now.
If you would like to be part, we open up
the lines here. Speakeasy rules are in effect, but you
can join us if you know the number.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Also on X at Ben Mahlor, that is at Ben
Mahlor if you would like to take part in the program.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
A couple of notes, The Malord Palooza is coming up
on Sunday into Monday, So depending on where you are
on the East coast, two am Monday morning, on the
West Coast eleven pm late on Monday or Sunday night.
And it's one of the great events that we do,
the Mallord Palooza, and we're gonna have all kinds of acts.
It's a variety show meets a freak show. It's a
(11:39):
talent show. It's a little bit of this, a little
bit of that. There's something for everything. We've got music,
we've got poetry. You just don't understand the amount of
talent that the overnight listener has. And we we present
rather a stage to present that talent. It's like one
of those cheesy realities show American Idol or something like that,
(12:01):
where we provide a forum to showcase the talent that
is out there that is hidden because people don't have
access to that stage. And then on August third, which
is a week from Saturday, we'll be saying Viva las Vegas,
Viva Las Vegas. We will be hanging out with you
in Sin City the entire show. This is not a
(12:24):
sanctioned event through Fox Sports Radio that would require them
spending money.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
This is just us.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
We're just doing our own thing and we're spending our
own money to go hang out with you.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
So I would love for you to show up.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Obviously you're in Vegas or in southern Nevada, it's easy
for you. But if you're within driving distance and it's
something you want to do, I can't tell you the
next time this is going to happen. Normally, when we
do these Mallard meet and greets, I'm usually the only
one that does it right. I've done these all over
Green Bays, Charleston, South Carolina, did one in Pittsburgh years ago, Syracuse,
we did one in Seattle. We've been all over the place,
(12:58):
but this is one of the rare ones where everyone's there,
all right. We did one of these in southern California
where we had I think everyone was. I don't know
if Roberto showed up. I think I think he might
have skipped out actually when he was with the show.
But Lorraine's gonna be there, Coop, Eddie, I'll be there.
So if you want to go, we'd love to see you.
Hope you can show up in a couple hours and
then it'll be like an after party. A lot of
(13:19):
the big fans of the show are friends with each
other and they make friends and then these things and
they go out and have.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
A grand time. So look forward to that.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I just want to let you know in case they're interested.
Now straight ahead for us, we'll take your calls. Also,
punk the world with Eddie. We'll get to that, and
a wild story from college football involving the Texas Longhorns.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
We'll go there as well. We will do it all,
and we will do it next.

Later this our Factor Fiction Puck.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
The world's a big hour, big hour ahead, and we're
in the middle of it right now.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
We're in the middle of the soup. We're in the
soup as we speak.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
We'll get back to the calls coming up in a moment,
and we'll also have a fun fact at the bottom
of the hour. Supermarket Steve says, I would like to
say my employees act like they're on a showdown, a
slowdown strike, but I just think they suck. Yeah, Well,
(15:59):
you know, you work at a grocery store and do
you get paid the same I'm not sure how it works.
Like if you put everything that needs to be put
away in two hours, do they still pay you for
the full night of work, because then they're like, whoa,
he just don't you don't need eight hours, it's paying
for two hours. Isn't that always the argument with with
(16:20):
government jobs that you just you gotta take your time,
go slow.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You're getting paid no matter what.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You don't want to do it too quick because then
they'll expect it and all that stuff. Matt the Warrior
Raider fan says, I cannot stand the extra soft toilet paper.
That stuff Lee get out leaves crumbs. He says, I'm
team one Ply.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Oh boy wow ew this guy yeah, terrible toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Tom Brady, he ripped a Tom Brady roast, that schmuck. Matt.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
At Costco, they have the choice. You can get the
Ultrasoft and they also have the Ultra Strong, and the
Ultra Strong is the way to go.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I have been told the Kirkland brand is I don't
get the Kurkling brand. But I'm told they've upgraded the
Kurkling brand toilet paper. But I don't know because I
haven't gotten it because I get the more expensive stuff
that's usually.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Where I go. It does seem softer?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I use it?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, you use And I touched my toilet paper a
couple of days ago and I was like, why does
it seem fluffier?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Why I'm still going to go with the more expensive stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, I go. I go high end on that.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, I go.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I definitely go high end. I will take some of.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
These calls and let's see your eenie Meani, miney Moe.
Let's say hello to Mike the Leprecaun in the Boston area.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Good morning man, how are you good? I know I'm
in deer number one. I have forty six followers and.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
X congratulations forty six.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
But I just started. I just started last week. Okay,
did Coop get my picture of my new car? Now?
I send an email to you?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Okay, Oh you send an email? Oh wow, who's you?
Speaker 8 (18:05):
I sent you an email?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
You can send pictures on on the X machine there.
Did you know that?
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Okay? Well don't I will? You're particularly responding? Am I
still off a tree? Fifteen A Monday, Sunday Monday?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
What what are you going?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
To be doing.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You're doing a limerick? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 8 (18:22):
No, no, no, no. I told you a song an
Irish paddy with a drum.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Called bahron Ron, And you're going to have the drum
with you?
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Yes, of course I'm going to stay black.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
How many Irish instruments do you have?
Speaker 8 (18:34):
I have quite a handful. But did you see the
video idea send of the cow sniffing the woman of
the what?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I saw that? I saw that. I saw that one.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
That's not that.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, there was a cow sniffing and knock the woman
into the water. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
And so the prep temperature sixty nine. And I'm here
in my breeze. I'm up to about seven thousand calories
for the day. And here's the math.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
What kind of food? What kind of foods do you eat?
Do you eat like cakes?
Speaker 8 (19:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
No?
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Are you healthy? No? No, God, you're kidding me? Are
you very healthy? But right now, that's why they were
doing a bad a bunk eggs? But I was waiting.
So one of those juicy dumplings is three hundred sixty
eight calories. I had a three packs of those time six,
so that's six six twenty four calories not counting the
soy or the ginners.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Okay, okay, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And it's like it's like eating with Marcella, food takes
with Marcella. So how much do you let me ask
you this, take a break, Lepra, how much do you
run in order to eat that amount of.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
Food on average? Between thirty thousand steps and forty thousand
per day per day on average, I need that calorie
into how.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Many what is that? How many miles? Is that?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
There's no way about twelve miles?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
There's no way. I only walk twenty thousand steps at
Disney on my longest days at Disney.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Are you walking around your whole like city all day?
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Yes? But well often, like I said, I was helping
the homeless in Birmingham, for sure, I was, but usually
it's my backyard. Are walking around the house or my classrooms?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Possible? There's no way you get that many steps.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Lorata says, you're a liar.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
I would like to see another natural phenomena called the
sun blocked the eclipse. And again I wrap up here.
When I grew up in Ireland, we had dog leaves
within the toilet paper. And lastly, Password, I'm going to
give you a game. You can all jomplaints when you
want it's a country. The name of country.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Ireland, No, Europe, European Poland soccer Spain.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You got it.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
I was going to say Iberia or Barcelona being game
by all right?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I want again win.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
You're cheating, you're cheating, Eddie that he is a cheater.
He's emailing the leprechaun. Is that how how he does it?
I think? Tell he does it right? He complains, where
where's nelada?
Speaker 8 (21:05):
Where's my number two? Jingle? I thought this?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I told you it was trash and I wasn't gonna
use it.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Come on, I liked it? Yes, try it again? Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Didn't you hate you hated it?
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Ben?
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Do not?
Speaker 8 (21:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
You did not?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
When all right? Three two one go? No, that's good.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
That's a keeper.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
That's a keeper right there. We'll put that in.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And we need somebody else to call up with a
number three in the number four because we have four
hours in the show, so I need I need a
number three and a number four.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
What who said?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Are you still on the air, judge? Are your friends?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Can you imagine the conversation to those two go man
Irish guy and and Jed walking around the swamp.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
On X.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
He gave me the ultimate challenge to get I would.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Read man, to bail out weed Man, hippie.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
No, not to put him out.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
That's what they call it. Bail him out? Are you
Are you mean you mean to have him come to
Boston and live with you.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
There's a five bedroom house there, so I guess the room.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I don't think you could do it, though, here's the question. No,
but think about this though. That would be great for
our show to have weed Man and the leprechaun living together.
My god, that would be a dream. But here's here's
the question, though, weed Man every time, hold on sex.
Every time we've tried to get weed Man a place,
and it's outside. Because a few listeners over the years
(22:40):
have offered to put weed Man up outside of Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He does not want to leave, even.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Though he gets arrested every other month in Florida and
sits in jail. He would rather be in a jail
in Florida than the world. But I would think if
you assume.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
You have a heater, yes you're not. Do you have
a heater at the home?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Of course there if it's cold outside, and you know
in Massachusetts, you just turn on the heater and be
you fine.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
So the two millions dot a home.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Look at that guy, Look at that humble brag, Look
at that flex right there. Yeah, all right, I got
I gotta go. You've been on the ten minutes. I
gotta go ten minutes. Right, thank you? There goes the leprechaun.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Do you think he bought the home with his pot
of gold?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
That's what? Why wouldn't you do it? Were a leprechaun?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Has a crazy imagination? Is still does not like the
claim both steps.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Million dollar home.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Steps in a day, seven million calories. I don't want
to hear it. I just I don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well, I will tell you, and I'm not going to
name this person, but there was a person in radio
that had let's just say, some issues mentally and that
they parlayed that into a Hall of fame career.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
So you know, you could go places.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
You either take the meds or you could end up
going places who knows, and you might end up in jail.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
To be sure to catch live editions of the Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific,

Speaker 3 (24:06):

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Good job.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Also saw a thing from women's soccer where there was
a team spying on another team's practice.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
With a drone. Oh yeah, yeah, was that Australia New Zealand?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Oh yeah, it was sneaky, sneaky?
Speaker 1 (24:33):

have some fun?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Right now? My bad well has a quick trigger finger
I lately.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Man, calm down, everything's okay. I think what you wanted
me to do with Rena was talk about radio or
rapid radio, right, didn't you want me to talk about that?
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yes you did. A rapid radios Let me tell you

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Fun fact those of fun stories the first one and
we'll get to Eddie and Puck the world here in
a minute. Texas Tech in beautiful Lubbock, Texas Red Raiders
guns up. Yes they are paying in the transfer portal
someone one million dollars. You want to think, I guess
what sport, Eddie? This person plays a million ball? No softball, Eddie,
(26:21):
a softball is going to get one million dollars from
Texas tech. How can they possibly make that money back?
Does anyone watch soft?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
But why would you sy?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I mean no, I don't know who this woman is,
but good good for her, I guess. But one million
if you invest in the transfer portal, isn't it because
you got like the star player and that's going to
increase revenues to your football program or your basketball program.
I don't get it, but they they're going to do it.
And the other story from Texas this is a flashback
to a story we talked about a couple of years
ago in the show and it was a great story.
We have a follow up a Texas Longhorns. Texas long
(27:00):
Horns a special teams coordinator Jeff Banks is the guy's name.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Well, congratulations to them. He recently red.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
His girlfriend, Danny Thomas, who is a stripper better known
as the Pole Assassin.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Got married over the weekend. That's her name, the Pole Assassin.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Now. The reason that we know of her the Pole Assassin,
is because her pet monkey attacked a child on Halloween
a couple of years ago. Yeah, we do not know
whether or not the primate was at the wedding. We're
not sure about that. But congratulations to the Texas Tech
(27:39):
Special Teams coach Jeff Banks and the Pole Assassin, the
happy newlyweds.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Wonderful, just tremendous. Now I have it.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
What I do with We're gonna do puck the Wars.
So I have a story that I have here. We'll
see if Eddie gets to it or not. If not,
I will, I will reprimand.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Eddie, why can't it just be a hockey fun fact?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Well, it's not necessarily fun. It's a hockey story.
Speaker 8 (28:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well, let's get to it right now. We'll puck Bewell.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Let me say, Eddie Garson, all right, Ben, we start
with controversy in the NHL with the Edvonton Noodle is
hiring Stan Bowman as general manager and executive vice president
of hockey Operations. He is the first former Chicago Blackhawks
executive rehired since the team's sexual assault scandal back in
twenty ten. Bowman did guide the Blackhawks the Stanley Cup
titles in twenty ten, twenty thirteen, and twenty fifteen, but
(28:28):
resigned as GM in twenty twenty one after an investigation
found that the organization failed to address allegations made by
player Kyle Beach. After he was sexually assaulted by video
coach Brad Aldridge. Former NHL player Sheldon Kennedy, who revealed
after his playing career that he was sexually abused by
a coach in junior hockey, he's been an advocate for
abused victims in hockey. He came out publicly endorsing Bowman,
(28:50):
explaining that the work he's done in recent years has
apparently been positive. Bowman said he also reached out to
Kyle Beach, the victim of the abuse scandal, to tell
him he was getting this job. Nothing it said, They
had a productive conversation.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Was Edmonton far enough off the grid where it doesn't matter,
like get you know some cities in America, you couldn't
do it.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Not in Canada when it comes to hockey. No, no, no, no,
this will be page one, top of the life story.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
He must be a good executive, otherwise they.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Would won three Stanley Cups in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, well that's what I'm saying. So they're like, hey,
is the guy that we can win the Stanley Cup with,
So we're willing to do it.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Well yeah, but they're also getting freak of seed by
a lot of the media.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
It's all fake nonsense. People are just still watch the games.
They're still going to go to the games. So it's
just it's just like full outrage, is what it is.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Well, I don't know. I mean he did, you know,
kind of cover up. He didn't cover it up, but
he just kind of ignored it. And he also didn't
call the police on this guy.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I think the Edmonton Oilers are going to lose market
share because they hired this day.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Probably not exactly, That's my point, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, I mean there's there, there's there's I don't be
a lot. I don't think it's a full outrage though.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I think it's legitimate.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
But I think it's just people anytime Edmonton does anything
and be like, oh, you know, bring they bring this up.
But they're still gonna watch the games and they're still
gonna go to the games and all that. That's from
a business standpoint. They're gonna make their money. They probably
need more money if they if they get winning the scene.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
You could also argue they were one went away from
winning the Stanley Cup without him.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
So yeah, it's not like it's not like that said
how bad that you said how bad they were, Eddie,
you told me how bad they all said.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
They were gonna lose, and they did and I was right, Well,
but I do you do need to bring in this
this kind of news?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well, you.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Cup, you're the hockey guy, but aren't. They had a
fork in the road with Leon dry Sidle and he's
gonna set it up about that, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I'm moving on. Phoenix Sun's owner Matt Ishbia.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Has his that's the story, Eddie, that's the story. Good
job by you.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Has his sight set on bringing hockey back to Arizona
after the Coyote is relocated to Salt Lake City after
this season. Ishbia told Sportico quote, it's definitely something I'm
interested in. It's a four sport town. I'm disappointed we
don't have hockey. I understand what happened and we're trying
to fix that in one day end quote. He didn't
reveal if he's been talking to the NHL. He did
talk about getting a new arena and that could also
(31:08):
be a future home for an NHL expansion franchise. Speaking
of new arenas, Calgary Flames have started construction on their
new sixteen thousand seed eight hundred million dollars home. The
new arena will replace the forty one year old Saddle Dome,
expected to be completed in twenty twenty seven. The old
Saddle Dome actually looked like a saddle, added a distinct look.
The Flames released some artist renderings of the new Scotia Arena.
(31:29):
It's been nicknamed the Cauldron, with the top part of
the arena roof looking like it has flames on it,
so it's kind of cool looking. NHL head coaching vacancy,
the final one has been filled. Columbus Blue Jackets hire
former Minnesota Wild head coach Dean Everson as our next
head coach. Fourth coach for the team in the last
three seasons, including Mike Babcock, who has hired and fired
before we ever coached the game with the team. It
(31:49):
seems it is a lot. It is a lot, and
they're not very good. Evanson coached the Wild for parts
of five seasons. They've made the playoffs four straight years
but lost in the first round every time. This one
is just for Andy the common God, because well, he
loves Buffalo and this is a funny name to say.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
That he's in Buffalo. He's visiting his dad.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Oh well, he's got to be very excited that the
Sabers have signed goalie Uka Pecca Lucanan to a five year,
twenty three point seventy five mino contract Uka Pecca Lucan
better known as UPL. And finally, Philadelphia Flyers very excited
about their recent first DRUP pick, Mattvey Mitshkov. He was
expected to play in Russia for several years, but he's
changed his mind. He's coming to the US and actually
(32:26):
he arrived this week. And your boy Keith Jones and
the team.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I love it. I love Jones.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The team's JM. Danny Brier literally picked him up at
the airport.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
They nice.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
They didn't send a car, they didn't get a driver.
They literally drove their car to the airport. He hitted
him up and there's pictures of them carrying his luggage
and his hockey sticks through the airport.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
That is great. So Keith Jones is the GM of
the Flyers.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
He's the President of Hockey Operations. The GM is Daniel Bier,
Air former player.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
All right, I worked with didn't We worked together at
NBC years ago. And I love Keith Jones, one of
the coolest guys.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Also, somebody in the Philly and the Flyers. Pr had
the good sense to put a Phillies hat on meech
Golf as he was walking through the airport, so he
immediately Philadelphia fans are in love with this guy. So
we'll see if it works out for him. And that's
your plucked the World Report.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
All right, more more stories this week.
Speaker 2 (33:15):

it's going to be the YEDDI that they're done it.

as a horrible PLoP.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. Also I failed to mention this.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I don't have much time, but Elon Musk has challenged
Mark Zuckerberg to a fight again.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Do you think it's gonna happen this time? It didn't
happen last night. No, I want to see it.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
With the NBA returning to NBC for the first time
in over twenty years, many have wondered if we will
also be blessed with the return of round Ball Rock.
The answer is sort of, John Tesh revealing recently that
