Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our dumberfore as we photo bomb your ear drums.
Here an hour four and we start out with the
Dallas football team. Stephen Jones, the spawn of Jerry, says
the Cowboys quote goal close quote is to get Dak
Prescott extended before a week one? Do you find this significant?

(00:25):
Also the Cowboys, Stephen Jones said, Cede Lamb needs to
be targeted twelve to fifteen times per game this season?
Is that feasible for Dallas? And Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford
what wall? Yeah, he left practice practice with Dallas because
of a hamstring situation, hamstring tightness?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
What does this mean in the big picture for the Rams.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
We'll explore all avenues, all of them, and it's coming
your way right now.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Say hello to my little friend, our No. Number four.
Have a wonderful.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Thursday, talking the talk, but not walking the walk. Wel come,
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, fellow townspeople. As we

(01:22):
are open all night and we never charge. We really
should start charging coast to coast, border the.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Border and beyond. On the vast and.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Ludicrously powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from the factory,
the factory of Audio Fund. We're broadcasting live from the
tyrat dot com studios.

Parker the snow Dog has been on ten thousand Bronco games.

(02:08):
If you've ever seen a Bronco game on TV the
CBS feed, they often show Parker the snow Dog wearing
the Bronco jersey, and then the mountains, the Snowcap Mountains
are in the background. Parker the snow Dog and Parker's
good friend that drives Parker around. A fan of the show,
and Benito, a long suffering Cowboy fan. Also ten thousand

(02:29):
times he's watched the Cowboys lose, so there is that
as well. But lead this hour play the Hits mo
Man Hits. We go back to the well one more time.
Jerry's World. Jerry's World. Has there been a big signing

(02:49):
now that is not happen? All is quiet on the
Western front, that is, at least regarding the extensions.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
There is a lot of noise. There's always a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Of noise, but it's meaningless banter from Dallas camp. Now,
if you have not been following, perhaps you're not obsessed
with this like some of us are.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
The Executive VP Stephen Jones, the spawn of.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Jerry, has announced that that Dallas Cowboys are looking to
finalize an extension with.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Quarterback Dakota Prescott.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
They want to get him locked up before the start
of the twenty twenty four NFL regular season. When asked
about this, he said, quote, I mean that's our go.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Now. That gives the Cowboys, using malormth.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
About three and a half weeks before the Dallas Cowboys
take the field September eighth in a game that five
people want to watch, the Cleveland Browns and the Dallas Cowboys.
That'll be that matchup in Week one. So this is
what I want to talk to you about.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
The question.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Stephen Jones, the number two for the Cowboys, says, that's right.
So Stephen Jones says, the Cowboys goal is to get
dak Prescott extended before a week one. Do you find
this significant in any way? So I've got thousand island dressing,

(04:20):
literary arts, and needle point and we will combine all
of these things together and build castles.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
In the air, is what we're going to do.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
So to kick off, Stephen Jones is following daddy's plans.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
You're supposed to do that, right. You're not the owner,
You're just the you know, you got the gig because
your dad owns the team.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
You keep the Cowboys on the front page of social media,
you do, right, That's that's it. That the social media battlefield.
The Dallas Cowboys have to.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Be at the top social media.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Your rule that world. You also follow the rule of drama.
That have to be much more drawn out and complicated
than they need to be. Now, when I saw these
comments and heard about what Stephen Jones said as someone
that parses words for a living, and boy, I mean
really party hardy when you parse words for living. So

(05:16):
this was a word salad that Steven Jones get the
Thousand Island dressing out. Because Stephen Jones was talking to
talk but not walking the walk.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Now, what did you expect him to say?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Could you imagine if he'd come out and say, oh man,
we're rowing upstream with Dak Prescott. We don't want to
sign him, we want to have him play out the
year and then see what happens.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
We'll see see how this plays out. Yeah, good luck
and goals. Let me tell you about goals. Okay, goals
are like New Year's resolutions.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now, I go to the gym a few days a week, right,
some days, some weeks more, some days last whatever. But
you know, in January a lot of people all of
a sudden that you never see, never seen them before,
and typically by February they're all gone because they all
had goals to go to the gym and work out regularly.

(06:11):
And things are subject to change in that regard New
Year's resolutions goals. If the Cowboys want to get a
deal done and Dak Prescott wants to get a deal done,
takes two to ten go I've heard. So if that's
the case, is it really that hard? I would think

(06:32):
it's not that hard. Everything is pretty much slotted at
this point. Dak Prescott is going to get fifty to
fifty five million maybe more per year, and then he
can go out and he'll have more expensive underwear when
he soils himself in big games and defecates on the field.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
So far, Jerry Jones, it's his family business.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
They have rejected this, but they're saying, oh yeah, we
want to sign him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, that's
the ticket. Now for my purposes, it would be much
more enjoyable if this doesn't happen, and then we have
a free agent bonanza, which is always good talk radio,
and people will pump the tires on Dak Prescott and

(07:15):
how great he is and how wonderful and all that.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
And then they'll have.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Like the Raiders and maybe the Patriots and the Steelers will.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Be after Dak Prescott. That would be great talk radio.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now, furthermore, following the theme here, while the Cowboys are
still not close to a deal with Dak Prescott or
Ceedee Lamb, supposely they're optimistic. Continue to be optimistic, very optimistic.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
The Cowboys. They're like me, Benny Brightside. They're going to
sign Lamb as well.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Another storyline, though, is around the offensive approach.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
In Big D. So what is this about?

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Now?

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Again? I go back, because sharing is carrying.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Stephen Jones, the Cowboys executive, said, Ceedee Lamb needs to
be targeted twelve to fifteen times per game this season?
Is that feasible?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
All right?

Speaker 2 (08:12):
So I will answer this and the esteem panel can
check in after this. But it is feasible, it is achievable,
and it is also terrible. All of that is simultaneously true.
These are the same old Cowboys for all the talk
about the change and identity and things are going to

(08:33):
be different now and that was a wake up call.
And these players are in the doghouse because of how
they played against Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Nothing like that is true.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Because Steven Jones coming out and say, well, we really
need to get ceedee lamb. Twelve to fifteen targets per
game on average.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
That tells you what. That tells you that the Cowboys
are focused.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yet again on individual glory rather than the team's success.
The greater good, Ceedee Lamb. You know how many catches
or target catches, but how many targets? The average last
year I looked it up, cedelam average ten point six
targets per game? Pretty good right now? Twelve It's not fifteen.

(09:15):
That led the NFL. He led the NFL. If you
play fantasy football, de prop me into that he led
the NFL in targets per game.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
And what did that get Dallas?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
They were turned into cheese fondue in the playoffs. The
Dallas Cowboys. What they need is to study the literary arts. Okay,
the famous poet back in the seventeen hundreds, this guy,
William Cowper Coop could tell you that because he was
in a poetry club. But he wrote a poem in

(09:47):
the seventeen hundreds called the Task and there's a line
that he used in that poem that is still used
to this day, and it's something that the Cowboys offense
should try to go with. It's variety is the spice
of life, and just like spices add more flavor to
the food, spreading the ball around your offense provides a

(10:08):
wonderful distraction, keeping the defense honest, be maniacal, whatever it
takes to win. But instead it's like, well, we really
got to get cd ram twelve to fifteen targets game.
It's not like, well, we just have to move the
ball around because then we can win, and that's how
we want to win.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
And everyone's going to get their turn. And no, it's
not that all right, last thing.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
The lr Ams, you can ram it all day, and
ram it all night, and ram it all morning because we're.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Here in the morning.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
So quarterback Matthew Stafford, Matthew Stafford now, or as Rob
Parker calls him, stat pattern. Matthew Stafford left the joint
practice with Dallas, by the way the Rams had yesterday
because of hamstring tightness. What does this one mean in

(11:00):
the big picture? So the Rams are trying.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
To downplay this.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
They're saying there's nothing to see here, and they're saying
it's precautionary. But in my humble opinion, okay, my humble
opinion here, of course it's something. It is a stark
warning that the message is this, The Rams are a

(11:24):
heartbeat away from Stetson Bennett as QB one when they
open up the regular season. Because Matthew Stafford, yeah, he's
thirty six and all that, he's old.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
He has a weather beaten body.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
A lot of dents, a lot of scratches, some rust there,
the paint's starting to chip a little bit. For Sean McVay,
it's needle point. It's Matthew Stafford needle point. And here's
why he's threading a needle. And you've got to get
Stafford healthy through these three exhibition games because if you don't,

(12:02):
you can't turn to Jimmy Garoppolo. Stetson Bennett, who threw
four interceptions against the cowboy team that ran a base
vanilla defense with no exotic plays. He threw four interceptions.
He had a clean pocket on at least three of

(12:22):
the four and still through the interceptions. Now we do
have the game winning touched up as okay, But in
the regular season, if you throw four, if you throw
four interceptions against the team that's not even game planning
against you, what are you going to do against the
team that is game planning against you? Holy crap on
a cracker, Good luck on that. It is the Ben

I remember Vin Scully, he's old bruck. He's starting about it.
He said the biggest hat in baseball was Bruce Bochie,
remember the old the Rangers man. He's managed with the
Giants and the Padres, and he wore a size eight

(16:31):
and one eighth. I'm just a size eight. I'm just
a size eight, That's all I am.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
I was not far off.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
There's a big difference between an eight and nine. There's
a joke there. But I'm not gonna.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
I'm not gonna.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
I'm not gonna bother down that road, Lorena, because you

Speaker 4 (17:11):

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, I would add four inches. Okay, well then you'd
bel an eleven. You have a big head, bro, that
would be big dude. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Dona Kelly's upset. She was on last hour. She said
she meant to do the number three, but she didn't
do it because she was talking about Apple fritters. She
has to call back.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Well, normally it's one call for night, one call for night. Oh,
what do we have you? Let's see page down other.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
I was looking at the new era hat sizes, which
is kind of the New Era is kind of the
big Hat company. They do not make a size larger
than eight.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
There are websites you can get hats larger than that,
but yeah, it's not big hats dot com or something
like that. Josh says, take the Cowboys blankety blank out
of your blank. Okay, thank you appreciate that. We just
talked about this. There's always news about the Dallas games. Oh,
this is a big night also for our showy stor.
This is our last night on six to ten Sports

(18:19):
in Kansas City. This is the last hour this show
will be on six to ten Sports in Kansas City.
You know about that big where are we're going?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Well, the whole station is moving to the FM dial.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
Fancy.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Every Thursday, I go on FESCO in the morning. That's
my big morning show appearance. I've been doing that for years.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
You're on that show every Thursday morning.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Bob Fescal big radio star, number one morning guy in
Kansas City. And I go on a show, and Bob
sent me a message this week he says, you know,
you're the last show that will be heard on six
to ten Sports, which has been our home for years
in Kansas City.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
And check this out.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
I will be the first guest on the news station,
which is going to start when we get done. Ninety
six point five. The fan is what they're going to
call the new station in Kansas City. So that's kind
of cool if you're a radio nerd. So congratulations. It's
it sounds like it's gonna be a great station. They're
gonna carry all the teams. I think the chiefs will

(19:20):
be on there. I think I'm not one hundred per
cent Surrey. I'm trying to remember this off the top
of my head. I think the Royals and Chiefs will
be on that station, and so it's great for the
market and it's exciting a new FM station. I remember
when we started Fox Sports Radio, the idea of putting
sports radio on FM was, Oh, you can't do because

(19:41):
the world's changed a lot since then, and now a
lot of it's streaming and all that.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
But FM is that's the way to go. Absolutely, that's
the way to go.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
We'll take some calls and we'll say hello to Angry
Bill who is in Jacksonville. Hello, Angry Bill. But it's
hard hearts and nothing. How you doing, guys?

Speaker 4 (20:04):
And I gotta I know you will because you're such
an honest guy. And you answer the question does the
Dallas Cowboys pay you for every time you talk about them?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
What do you look tough with the Dallas Cowboys?

Speaker 7 (20:17):
The garbage team. They've got a garbage owner, but you
want to talk about him every time?

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Tell me about that.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, let me explain. Let me explain something to you.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
I know.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
I'm explaining to you like you're you're five years old,
because you often act like you're five years old. So
the the what we do here, it's broadcast, right, So
there's a broad number of people that like the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
And every week, if you look at the TV ratings, whether.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's Fox, normally it's Fox who cures the Cowboys, Sometimes
it's NBC, sometimes CBS, whoever's got the Cowboy game has
the highest ratings.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
You see, they have the most fans.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
So by talking about the Dallas Cowboys, we are talking
to a broad audience of people.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
That's how it works.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
That's damn week.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
Okay, damn week?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
How is that week? How is that? How is that week?
Try to come with something new, try to comp with
something better than the stupid cowboys. Okay, well, how about

programming boss at the at the company and they tell
me what to do.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
How about that life?

Speaker 4 (21:17):
You know, get get a real job.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
You can get a life.

Speaker 3 (21:19):

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, but what happened to all those people that said, oh,
everyone comes back stronger from Tommy John surgery.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
You want to bet?

Speaker 7 (24:32):
Yeah, no, no shot, no shot. No, that's that's not
how it works. But I think if they do get healthy,
do you think they can make a push? I mean, obviously, yes, they.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Should win the World Series.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yes, they should win, they should have another championship. Yes,
do I think that do? I think that's gonna happen, though.
I think they're gonna go in the playoffs. I think
by these like the the NLCS movie, Best will be
bowling in Nashville. Uh oh, Tani will be back in
his home country. I don't know what Freddy Freeman is
going to be doing, but yeah, yeah, that's that's what

(25:06):
I think is gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
And they're gonna don't start. They'll start kershaw.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
He'll go out and puke all over himself and uh
glass now will suck.

Speaker 7 (25:15):
And then yeah, so who's coming out of the National League.
I guess there's my question.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Well, it's it's it's either the Phillies of the Dodge
the Diamondbacks. So the Padres No I'm gonna with Phillies
are Dodgers. It should be the Phillies are.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Dodger it should be I agree. Okay, fair enough, there
you go, Hi, thank you.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
So the Olympics are long but over, but the controversy
continues for Rachel Gunn, the breakdancer from Australia who got
a zero in her her routine. Apparently plenty of folks
in Australia are upset about the fact that she somehow
made the breakdancing Olympic team, calling it to quite how
that happened and conspiracy theories, and they're doing a lot

(26:04):
of uh I guess online bashing of her in the
Australian Olympic committee.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Well that happened.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
To stop the bullying. Stop Gun. Yeah, no bullying of Raygun.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
That's a great get out of jail free card.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
It's like when Ben Simmons sucks for five years, but
your mental health you leave alone.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Okay, yeah, fine, we won't criticize him. Wonderful. That's great,
all right, Ygun?

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Who is going to cash in at the story The
other day they say that marketing wise, she was so
bad that she's famous infamous that she can do some endorsements,
and I saw there was a home workout routine, the
Ygun Home Workout Routine, which has been bouncing around fun

(26:51):
Fact Time, fun Fact Time, fun Fact time, Matter, fun
Fact two for one special. So I'm watching the Phillies
Marlins game and they had a raffle winner do play
by play.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
It was like the fourth or the fifth inning. I think,
oh wow, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
So they's some dude who's from California who's a Phillies fan.
He's from Philly or that area. He's doing play play
by play. So he's with John Croke and the play
by play guy for the Phillies. But he's the play
by play guy, and so they introduced him and they said,
I me a lifetime Phillies fan, businessman, musician, you know,
renaissance man and all that. And it's the funniest thing
in the world. So he's doing it's terrible. I mean,

(27:27):
he's just not really saying what's going on. He's never
done it before. Whatever he wanted, he paid money to
win a raffle, so he's doing this inning of play
by play.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
He seemed like a nice guy. So he's doing it,
and then I noticed.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
He said to the play by play guy, who introduced
him as a businessman and a musician, he said, you know,
I'm not really a businessman.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
I haven't been a businessman in a while. He says, I'm.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Actually now an activist. I fight against Facebook and Instagram.
Like he's going through this whole ran he's rifting about
and he gets cut off by the play by play guy.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
It was so funny.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
It was one of those things like, oh, we want
this guy saying that is all and he's like like
he stepped on him, and he tried to change the
conversation and he was able to change the conversation. But
it was hilarious because I'm listening to it and it
was it was so funny because it was so awkward.
All of a sudden, he said, you know, I'm actually
i haven't been a businessman in years. I'm an activist now.
And I was like, oh man, it was It was great.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Bonus fun fact. Bonus fun fact, bonus.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Fun mal fun fact.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
My new favorite pitcher in baseball is Hunter Green of
the Cincinnati Reds. Not because of Justin and Cincinnati or
Dick and Dayton, Hunter Green. I missed this the other night.
But one of our listeners in Cincinnati sent this to me.
Hunter Green for the second time this season.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
You know what he did, Eddie.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Nope, he rode the vomit comet. He barfed in a
game for the second time. Yeah, it happened again. Oops,
it happened again. Just two months after puking against the Pus,
he had a reversal of fortune, a protein spell as
they call it, at Disneyland against the Saint Louis Cardinals.

(29:08):
And so, just wonderful Hunter Green, who throws like a hundred,
He's an LA guy.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Didn't he go to high school just.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Down the road here in Sherman Oaks where we do
the show from.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
I think I'm unaware of Hunter Green's backstory.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
I think I think he did. I think he went
like that. Is it Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Is that that's the one that's where Gean Carlos Stanton
to went.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, I think he went there.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Somebody told me that when he broke into the big anyway,
he he barfed twice in a couple of months, barf
and all. It's just wonderful, just just absolutely great. It
reminds me of a Donovan McNabb who barfed in the
Super Bowl, famously one of the all time great barf stories.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
There's a lot of good bar stories.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
It's a viral video going around of a high school
kid who in the middle of a pitch puked all
over the place in slow motion.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
It's pretty, uh, pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Could you do and we don't do this any but
could you do a big board of people that have
barfed in sports?

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Well, I don't know. I don't think so, Donovan McNabb.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
That's one Hunter Green.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
Eh, Hunter Green's not a big deal.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Tell that to his family. Not a big deal.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, absolutely, Bubbo the dude says, stick the guns to broadcasting.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
How about more New York Yankee updates? He says, yeah.
Mike the Lepgron, big head, big ego, big brain.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
All right, let's get to puck the world right now?

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Here's that?

Speaker 7 (30:30):
All right?

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Man?

Speaker 6 (30:31):
The Saint Louis Blues did something that has happened less
than fifty times in the history of the NHL. They
did it twice on the same day to the same team.
They signed Edmonton Oilers restricted free agents defenseman Philip Broberg
and forward Dillon Holloway. Two contracts. The Oilers now have
five days to match or let one or both the
players walk. They will receive draft Bick compensation if they

(30:53):
do let those players walk away. Oilers are over the
salary cap right now, while the Blues have seven million
dollars in Sally cass space. This is fun, this is controversial,
this is cool. I wish team more teams would do this.
So we'll see if it works out or not.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Why do they match or not? Eddie the hot I'm.

Speaker 6 (31:10):
Gonna say they don't. I'm gonna say they don't. Baron,
they're in cap Aaron cap hell here bro Berg's twenty
three former first round pick eighth overall and Holloway's twenty
two former first round pick fourteenth overall. Now, something that
could help out the Oilers is if they put Evander
Kaine on long terminted reserve and there's a report that
he's not gonna be able to start the season as

(31:31):
he's recovering from a sports tarney. He makes five point
one two five million per seasons, so that could help
him out if they end up doing that. Toronto maple
LEAs have a new captain. It's Austin Matthews. Twenty six captains.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
I've heard him, Eddie.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
He replaces John Tavares who had the role, and Taveras
said he supports the decision. What else is he gonna say?
Matthews's twenty six he has been the face the franchisees.
He was drafted first overall in twenty sixteen. He's coming
off a season where he had sixty nine goals in
eighty one games, one of the best seasons as far
as goal scorers in recent NHL history. Now, back in
twenty nineteen, he was about to be named captain, was

(32:05):
Matthews and then he had off the field run in,
off the court, off the ice run in with a
female security guard while he was intoxicated in Arizona in
the off season, And so they feel like, maybe we
shouldn't name him captain right now, so they named Tavaris instead.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
So a few years later they're finally getting around to
naming him captain.

Speaker 6 (32:23):
Tampa Bay Lightning majority owner Jeff Vinnick confirmed he's looking
to sell the majority stake in the team. Sports Net
reporting we should buy it, Eddy, Yeah, And well I
need two billion dollars to do that, so I'm not
sure I have that right now, how about.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
We crowdsource it with the valid militia.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
That sounds like a great idea. I'm sure we can
come up with that money.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
Vinig bought the franchise in twenty ten for one hundred
and seventy million and now selling not the entire portion,
but the majority stake for two billions. That's say nice
return on his investment. I would say if the sale
has completed, it would eclipse the nine hundred and fifty
million dollars price of the Ottawa Senators in September as
the largest sale price for an NHL franchise. He and

(33:00):
junior hockey player Raylan Masterson has filed a class action
lawsuit against the NCUBLEA violate the NCAA violating anti trust
laws from preventing players who appeared in a major junior
hockey game from playing in the nc DOUBLEA. Now, the
NCAA says that individuals should not be eligible for intercollegiate
athletics in a sport if they have competed on a

(33:20):
professional team. The nineteen year old, though, says, well, Katie Ladecki,
he's competing in the Olympics, She's getting compensated, and she
still has NCAA eligibility not to mention the NIL deals
for college athletes these days, so if he wins, his
suit could change out. Junior hockey players for years to
come will be allowed to play in college hockey or
major junior leagues as well.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Sam Rosen, longtime voice of the New.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
York I've interviewed him.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Very nice man, Sam ral he.

Speaker 6 (33:48):
Is seventy seventh birthday at the other day, and then
he announced this season will be his last calling Ranger
games for MSG. Started in nineteen seventy seven as the
backup to Marv Albert. This is fortieth season as the
full time playing man for the New York Rangers.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Sam ram used to do NFL games on five.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, and when I did this show with Looney on Sundays,
we had Sam Rosan on pretty regularly promote the game
he was doing.

Speaker 7 (34:16):
It.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Could not have been a nicer man. Could not have
been nicer man.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Good good broadcast.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, very nice.

Speaker 3 (34:21):

the Utah Yetti not officially, but they broke ground this
week on their practice facility in Sandy, Utah. They're building
a practice facility at a mall Okay Yeah, the shops

(34:41):
at Southtown Mall in Sandy, Utah. They're going to put
a hockey facility so you can go to like the
Walmart and then go watch the team practice. I guess
I think that's what they're doing.

all the judges we have time for. So here we go.
Let's get to it.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Three stories, figure out which the three is not true.
Story Number one, the Australian breakdancer Reygun went viral for
getting the zero in the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Well, good news.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
She's not very popular in her home country of Australia,
but here in America we can't stop talking about her.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Dancing with the Stars is still.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Around, and they announced earlier this week that ray Gun
will be a contestant on season thirty three of The Dance.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Show on ABC at premieres in September.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Story number two the equal Opportunity story another Olympian that
went viral, the French Polebauter who put the poll in
poll vaulting. He failed because his twigging berry's gotten the
way there. Well, don't say that only women can make
money in porn. A porn website offering the French athlete

(38:43):
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in exchange for a
sixty minute webcam show that seems like a long time
to show off the man parts.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
And story number three Bitter in France.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
The Team USA winning Steph Curry carrying the US couple
of big three point shots against France. The people of
that country not happy because McDonald trance sent out a
post claiming that classic Curry dipping sauce for obvious reasons,
we are considering.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Removing the sauce. Very very funny.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
All right, those are the three stories which is not true.
They all sound ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
One of them is not true. Let's go to Leslie and.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Jack the judge one, two or three Leslie, I'm going.
