Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number one hour one of
our Thursday podcast. Glad you have joined us here. And
normally on Friday I promote my podcast, not this show,
the other show, but today is different than most weeks
because the podcast is up early. We had a legend
(00:24):
Joey Chestnut, the greatest professional athlete in the world. Joey Chestnut,
a man who ate sixty two hot dogs and buns
Cony Island, New York. We had him on the fifth
hour podcast and you can hear that available for download
on demand. Listen when you want, Listen now, listen later,
listen whenever you want, but check that out, give it
(00:45):
a listen and let us know what you think. Also
here an hour one of the radio show, the Tennessee
Titans are said to be quote well positioned to sign
DeAndre Hopkins, as that based in any reality. Also, Mykovic
wants to a tongue of iloa to bulk up to
avoid injuries. Is it really that simple? And is it
(01:07):
wise for the forty nine ers to reduce George Kittle's workload.
That's been talked about as well. We'll go over all
of those stories and more right now here it is
our number one still hopping around. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour in another edition of the Ben Mather Show.
(01:29):
We are in the air everywhere in partnership as we
blab in the audio lab, coast to coast, border the
border and beyond on the mast and super eminently powerful
microphones of fs are emmating live from the flight deck
as we soar on that red eye flight all night long.
(01:54):
Did you know you can listen to the show on
some airplanes when you're stuck thousands of feet in the air.
We are broadcasting live from the tire rack dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there, an unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
that's a lot recommended installers. Tyre rack dot com the
(02:15):
way tire buying should be. So our lead this hour
coming from the NFL. There's never a bad time to
talk about the NFL. And we're still a couple weeks
away from training camp. But there's a few stories that
have popped up on my sonar that I want to
chat with you about and chew over a little bit,
(02:36):
like some like a nice big wad of bubblegum we'll
chew over these things. Now we'll start in a place
which is always good for talk radio, the unemployment line,
The life and times of de Andre Hopkins. Fired, dismissed,
excommunicated from the Arizona Cardinals. That happened earlier this off season.
(02:56):
Aware of that, right, yea, we are all aware of that.
Hopkins is still on the beach. At least in radio.
When you lose your job, they say you're on the beach. Well,
he's still on the beach. And if you've not heard
the latest, perhaps not a couple days ago, we were
told that Hopkins was going to likely end up with
the Patriots. Well, now a zig and a zag. And
now we're being fed that the Tennessee Titans are quote
(03:19):
well positioned in the DeAndre Hopkins sweep sakes. And Mike Rabel,
who was part of the Texans coaching staff, has a
relationship with DeAndre Hopkins, and he's looking to recreate the relationship, right,
make the magic happen. Cuddle up again, howevery you want
to say it? With this new receiver. Now they are
intrigued about putting Hopkins in the offense to try to
(03:41):
unlock Ryan Tannehill. Good luck on that, all right, So
let us discuss the question the Tennessee Titans. This latest
report saying that they are well positioned to get in
on DeAndre Hopkins. Is that based in reality? So I
have set menu, Barbera and golden baton, and we will
(04:04):
combine all of these things together and we will make
you dizzy. Well, try not to, but I've been told
we do make people disney. So a Tennessee is that
they're on the clock, right, Patriots and Tennessee are on
the clock. But Tennessee is clearly on the dance floor
here with de Andre Hopkins. So it's it's not a
case of well positioned. I don't buy that they're well
(04:28):
positioned because Hopkins, by all accounts, thought that he would
be prime real estate in Caynes City or Buffalo. He
thought he was gonna slide in there and one of
those legit big time Super Bowl contenders. But those teams
so far have said, don't call us, we will call you.
(04:49):
They have punted on Hopkins. So if you look around,
all right, and if you're blind, just listen around. It
is a set menu. Hopkins has limits options, and it's
one of those menus that you can't take the lettuce
off the burger. It comes the way the menu says
it does. And if you don't want the letus, you
gotta take the let us off. There's no alterations. It's
(05:12):
the Titans or the Patriots. That's it. That's the list, period,
hard stop, and that list unremarkable, unremarkable. Neither one of
those teams guaranteed to make the playoffs. Jacksonville said to
be the team on the come in the AFC South
and Tennessee going the other direction. And then you look
(05:34):
at the quarterbacks. You talk about middleweight contenders, Ryan Tannehill,
who for the last couple of years the Titans have
drafted quarterbacks hoping to get rid of Tannehill. He's still there.
And you've got Mac Jones, who's also not guaranteed to
be the guy with the Patriots, and they could get
zappied the Pats. So a couple of non essential quarterbacks,
(05:56):
all things being equal, as we've said, and I'm not
changing my tape from last week or I guess the
week before, Hopkins, all things being equal, if the money's
the same, you go to the Patriots. Why because Derrick
Henry is going to get seventy five percent minimum of
the opportunities to dominate for the Tennessee offense. And plus
(06:18):
you want to plan some high profile games. You signed
a one year contract and that's most likely what Hopkins
is gonna get. You want to end up playing in
a high profile situations. You get more exposure, and all
most of these guys get exposed anyway. But the Patriots,
even though they're not that good, neither of the Titans.
There's more opportunities in the AFC East because you get
two games with Buffalo, two with the Jets and Aaron Rogers,
(06:41):
and then the Dolphins. So those will all be games
of varying degrees of interest. Tennessee playing Tennessee bad Colts
team Jacksonville doesn't have a lot of juice, even though
they were better last year. It's a smaller stage. Now
Page two here, let's pivot away. We'll talk about Michael
Vick for this second time in days. We talk about
(07:02):
Michael Vick, the former NFL star, occasional pigskin pundit, Michael Vick,
who recently had a number of things to say. We
talked about some of them, we did not talk about this.
He recently said that the Dolphins quarterback to a tongue
Biloa needs to do a couple of things to improve
his health status. And what did Vic say? Vic said
(07:25):
that tugue Biloa needs to bulk up a little bit,
get him some cheeseburgers, get him cheeseburgers in Paradise, and
he's got to get a little bigger, a little stronger.
Has to grow into your man body. Michael Vick said,
that's what needs to happen, and he talked about ten
or fifteen more pounds of weight, and then he also said,
(07:48):
don't get hit, don't get knocked around, which it seems
like all you need to do. You don't need to
gain any weight. If you don't get hit, who cares
how thin you are, how fat you are. So let's
talk about this. Michael Vick wants to a tongue of
my laa to bulk up, gain ten or fifteen pounds
to avoid injuries. Is it that simple? And you can't
(08:08):
see me, but I am. I'm hitting my buzzer. Yeah.
All these Kakamami solutions that have been flying around all
off season, I find them amusing. Some of them are bewildering.
The story that's been bouncing around a lot has been
Tongue of by Law has been studying jiu jitsu, and
he's had every quack in the free world give him advice.
(08:28):
I'm convinced our resident quack on the show, Doc Mike's
probably down there in Miami right now saying, Hey toa,
I got this little orange power drink. It's actually yellow.
It's not orange. It's a yellow power drink. You want
to have some? Yeah, But all of this is just static.
I have the answer. The Mather think tank is activated.
Here all the things that have been said, background noise,
(08:51):
I am going to say right now, this is a
Fox Sports Radio exclusive. What to a tongue of Iloa
must do. It does not involve gaining weight, It does
not involve losing weight, it doesn't involve jiu jitsu, none
of that. He needs to go to a tongue by
loa Hannah Barra Old school? What does that mean? Old school? Cartoon?
(09:13):
Quick draw McGraw and now hold on there. If you
simply make quicker decisions, you can never eliminate all of
the hits. However, your odds go up, up and away.
If you look at the quarterbacks who have had long
jet and these guys have had injuries, they're not no
(09:34):
longer playing. But Tom Brady and Drew Brees, I would
say more Drew Brees than Tom Brady. And Breese had
a major injury when he was playing for the old
San Diego Chargers. But those guys mastered the ancient art
of treating the football like an old party game, hot potato,
read and react, get rid of the damn ball. And
(09:55):
if you simply throw within the shortest amount of time
I am talking, I'm off half a second or a
full second from snap release, and that's it. You're not
gonna get hit. The NFL's insulated the quarterbacks. It is
not the game it was when I was a kid.
It's not and it's a soft man's game now in
(10:17):
the NFL. That's the way it is now. Last word here.
So we're gonna go away from Miami. We already went
earlier to Tennessee. Now we go to the Bay Area.
So I read that San Francisco has a plan. I
love when people have plans. I had plans to look
at me now. But San Francisco is looking to downsize,
(10:40):
a downsize. The immense focus on George Kittle. They're tied end.
This is the story bouncing around the Kyle Shanahan and
the brains there in the Bay Area are planning on
spreading things around a little more. Spread that peanut butter
all over the slice of bread. So I want to
talk about this one. Is it wise? Is it wise
(11:02):
for the forty nine ers to reduce George Kittle's workloub
And I am shaking my head. No the way I
would approach this, And honestly, I'm a Rams fan, So
I hope the forty nine ers do the wrong thing.
But if Kittle gets hurt, that fine, he gets hurt.
But to artificially manipulate things, no bueno. This is one
(11:25):
of those ideas which is better in theory than in reality.
Are weah, George Kittle always worked a lot. We want
to spread the offense around. We don't want to be
hyper focused on George Kittle, the fly in the ointment
or the turd in the punch bowl. The forty nine
ers are lacking a dominant quarterback. Joe Montana is not
(11:45):
walking through those doors. Steve Young not walking through those doors.
Even Jeff Garcia is not walking through those doors. Now,
that would be a very crisp move if that happened.
But Brock Purdy, who played above he means, he was
above his means last season as mister Irrelevant played well,
(12:05):
but he had a medical procedure this offseason, he's still unknown.
And the other quarterbacks are Trey Lance and Sam Darnold. Yeah,
you need smelling salts with those guys, so they don't
really get your blood flowing too much. Maybe if you're
related to them, they do, but I'm not, so that's
not the case. And the issue when you talk about
(12:28):
the lack of a dominant quarterback is because what becomes
the safety blanket for the mediocre quarterback. It's the tight end.
And George Kittle's a good tight end, but that's essential
when you have a possibly wobbly quarterback, check down, throw
the tight end. Usually the tight end's open. But look
at the golden baton. If you're going to cut the
(12:49):
targets of George Kittle, who's going to take the golden
baton and run with it. Now, you should get more
out of Deebo Samuel Okay, but how much more? He
said he did not well last year. The numbers were down.
Brandon Ayuk is a nice player, but he's not shown
to be an elite, elite wide receiver. And then you
(13:10):
look at the other tight ends and you're like somebody
named Charlie Warner, I believe, and I don't know. I
don't know who these other people are. I don't know
who he is. Yeah, George Skill's gonna turn thirty years old,
which in life is young, but in sports you're starting
to get a little a little old in the NFL.
But he's your twelve million dollars a year tight end.
(13:33):
You ride the car until the wheels fall off. That's
the move there for Shanahan and the Niners. It is
the Bean Mallord Show. You want to comment on any
of that or anything else. We are what. We're open
for business. Yeah, it's the the open. We never closed this.
I mean, I wish I worked at a store that closed.
(13:53):
We don't close. We're always open. It's a smashing success.
Eight seven seven ninety nine one eight seven seven nine
nine six six three six ' nine. And you've heard
of the Mile High Club. Oh, there's a different kind
of club, not quite the Mile High Club. It's the

C Level Club. But oh what a club it is.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I don't know if that's a treat.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's a tremendous treat.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
That could be like when you're a kid and your

Speaker 2 (15:09):
No, that's absolutely wrong. You're wrong about that. And now
live from the tyrack dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios

Speaker 1 (15:17):
So I've been advised by listeners that I need to
get away from Twitter. I'm still on Twitter. We still
use Twitter for the show, but for some reason, I've
signed up there's something called threads.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Are you were familiar with threads?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I'm not familiar with that now.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, so this is I guess the is it the
Instagram competitor to Twitter? Is that what this is? I
don't know I even know what this is. I just
signed up for it. I don't even know where it is,
but but I'm there, so I just if anybody's on there,
it's the Ben Mahller on Fox on threads, Ben Maller
on Fox on Threads, which is supposed to be like
(15:55):
a ripoff version of Twitter. And I'm ready to leave Twitter.
I've had enough. Elon Musk has destroyed that for me,
the joy that I used to get out of that.
And so we'll see. Are they you think they'll be
nicer people on this? There'll be a holes on that.
Like I've noticed people on Facebook are pretty nice. I
think they're generally I think is that an older crowd
(16:17):
on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
From what I've told, Yes, Yeah, all right, but.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
People are complete schmucks on Twitter. But speaking of that,
we are on Twitter at Ben mallor yes, yes, you
can be part of that, or you can follow me
on great Promotion, or you can follow me on the
threads there Ben Mahler on Fox, which is also the
name of the Instagram account. So very exciting, I know, Milkman,
(16:44):
Mike and Colorado writes, and he says, great openly monologue.
All two and needs to do is update the required
equipment for quarterbacks and he'll be fine. A bunch of
porcelain dolls. So he says, who else are we have?
Page down? Page down? Keith and now says on a
radio salary these days, how can you be on the beach?
(17:04):
Maybe on a river bar in Missouri?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah, Well there are some beaches that show is that
show still on Beach Front Bargain Hunt or something like
that on the h G TV. There's some places in
the boondocks where you can get a place near the
beach for pretty pretty good money. I don't live in
one of those places. Yeah. Matt the Warrior Raider as
(17:30):
fan says, the people telling you to leave Twitter are dopes,
all right? Fair enough, I'm Matt you you appear to
be a fan, which is which is fine, that's good.
I'll test this out. I don't know it's gonna It's
gonna have to be pretty good for me to cross
over there. So we'll see whether I want to go
down that direction. I'm not sure that I will. We
(17:52):
have a wheel we spin of a producer Eddie already
already mentioned, but we have Ethan, who's here. He's a
He's been on the show a few times. He's from Philadelphia.
Although I learned something about Ethan this week that he
is a big fan of the Oakland Athletics, which is
very odd. I saw him in the hallways of Fox
Sports Radio and he was wearing an Oakland A's hat.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
He's still wearing it.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Yeah, matter of fact, you know that's not true.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
What did I say? That was not true?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
That I'm an Oakland A's fan.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
You're wearing You're wearing an A's hat.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
You know what happened?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I don't. I don't think I do.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't, I sincerely don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So well, you were you were sleeping at it because
you ate too?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
No, I probably was, wasn't I probably watching YouTube or something.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Yesterday in the kitchen, I had nothing to do with
you don't worry about it. Yesterday in the kitchen, I
was wearing this Oakland A's hat and I told Ben
that it was for the look because it's like a
certain material. You know, it's like an expensive hat.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
So you know.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I was like, you know, I'll wear it. It's a
good hat. Well, I don't care about the Oakland A
well wear, so I was. So I asked him.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It's an interesting fashion move, I asked him.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
I asked him as if it was a violation as
a Phillies fan to wear.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
This, and what did I tell you? It is? But
it doesn't fan, No, it's a fan violation. And because
you could have gotten that same hat with the Phillies.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
The hat it doesn't look good.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Who would wear that like the Phillies hat.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
It just doesn't. It's it's gross.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It doesn't Phillies hat is gross.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
You can't wear that out.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Why is the Phillies hat gross?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It's like red and yeah, it's just doesn't.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
It's now. Before you were around, the Phillies had these
powder blue like uniforms, although the hat was red. If
I remember so they didn't have.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I could I could maybe pull off a powder blue that.
We'll see. I'll come in with one.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Well, what did I tell you, Ethan? I explained to you,
I said, listen. I in fact, tonight, I'm wearing my
hat of the night is a Montreal Expos red white
and blue.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Oh beautiful.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's a great hat. Who are my favorite? Wow? And
I'm a Dodger fan. But that's not a fan violation.
The Expos don't exist. They're dead. Baseball killed them. They
killed Upie and uh and the and and all the.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
The switched over the mascot.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
But the point is still the same. They killed the team.
So when the team's dead, you can then wear the
hat of the team, Like if you wanted to wear
a Washington senator's hat, you could do that, or a
Saint Louis Brown's hat. You could go that direction teams
that are defunct. But when when it's now that that hat,
(20:36):
I'll tell you what, When the A's moved to Vegas,
you can keep wearing that hat. That's okay because the
Oakland As will be dead, all right, yeah, well, and
then you'll come out of the closet after that, then
you can yes you did. All right, it is the
Ben Meler Show. Let's go to the phones and we'll
start out with a celebrity caller from Menis Soda. It
(21:00):
says on my board here Hayes in Minnesota.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Hello Hayes, Hey Ben, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Hey Hayes. We had your friend call in yesterday?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, some a man on my word? Yeah she I.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Wasn't Yeah, oh oh you missed it, Eddie. It was
quite the night here so in. I think it was
our was it our one? I want to say it
was our one. Maria from the Morgue called this assistant,
the German lady, I said, but she said, she didn't
really say she was from from Germany. Her family, I
(21:38):
guess originally was from Germany. But I don't know that
is Maria a traditional German name?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Honestly, I'm into guys. I don't. I don't ask question
about it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Whatever. I Well, there you go. You learned something new
every day about the people that call, you know, So
how can we help you? Hayes? What's going? I'm s
so bummed out we didn't get together. You didn't show
up of the Malor meet and greet there in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I got something you want to hear.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Okay, well be the judge of that.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Apparently, all right, the house I live in, apparently it
was a grave site many many, many many years ago. Yeah,
and I'd done some research. Why am I keeping seeing
a tall, very very dark woman maybe every two or
(22:32):
three weeks?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Is she a nice Is she a nice woman?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Apparently they said it and lost her parents, so she
buried them in the backyard many many, many many years.
So this was illegal.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Anyway, So she's still there. Do you ever? Can you
have her? Call the show? The ghost? Yeah? Do ghost
talk or do they not talk?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I'll ask him? Does she talk to you?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I'm asking?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Well, no, the thing is honest to god, I don't
get much sleep because I'm always things are always happening.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
But it might be the reason why you're seeing things.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
But this particular last time I got hurt, I actually
fell because.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It did the ghost trip you.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Now, the ghost tackled him, but it was horse callar tackle.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
She was coming at me and and and so you can't.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You cannot hit a female ghost. That's domestic. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I don't know. There's different rules when it comes to ghosts.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
No, but female ghosts.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
You can female, you can't hit it.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
But if it's a ghost, it's different.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
So I ordered surveillance cameras.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
What's that you did?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
What you surveillance cameras?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
What what is that?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Surveillance cameras?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
It catches any movements, small or large? All right, and
I hope I catch something.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
If you do, can you put it on Twitter for us?
You put the video up on Twitter so we can
see it.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, yes, I'll tag you on the new website. Ben
mentioned it.

Well, actually yesterday was the fifth of your eyes.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, but the nighttime carried over, you know, into the fifth.
The fireworks are going off, by the way, all night
over where I live, so apparently it's still the holiday.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah. Did you light any fireworks off at your job there, Hayes, any.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Any fire Oh no, No, I was meditating. I was
off last and I was meditating.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Are you a Buddhist?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
No, I don't. I don't believe in anything like that.
I just I just closed my eyes for two three
hours and meditate.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
For two or three hours. That seems like a long
time to meditate.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Yeah, in the dark, I meditate just just I think
about uh, clean oxygen to breathe and just all.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
The good stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, that's really good stuff. All right, Well, thank you Hayes.
All right, I'll go all right, thank you. Have your
friend call more too. There you go, our friend Hayes.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Can't wait to see that ghost footage that he posts.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, that's sorry. That's our guy, Hayes and Maria from
the Morgue. And he had an interesting reaction when I
asked him about marine. He said something that was very
eye opening. Well, what's that?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I mean, you can go back and hear the podcast
if you want to know.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No, you were not paying attention to bad job you.
It is not the Mile High Club. But oh what
a club it is. We'll get to that. We'll take
some more of these riveting phone calls, but right now,
let's get you caught up on everything going on in
the overnight, and right over there we say hello to
Edmund Garcia.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
All right, thank you, Ben. We'll start, of course with
major League baseball games, and no, we had the Braves
getting back on track after their winning street came to
it end tonight before they pick up an eight to
one win over the Guardians and prove it to a
major league best fifty eight and twenty eight twin shut
out the Royals five nothing, Minnesota getting a three game
series sweep of Kansas City. They now hold a two
game lead on Cleveland for first in the AL Central.
Diamondbacks lose to the Mets two to one, while the
(27:06):
Dodgers beat the Pirate six to four, so La now
a game and a half back of Arizona in the
NL West race. He had the red zone of the
Nationals nine to two, while the Brewers lost to the
Cubs for three, So Cincinnati now at two game lead
on Milwaukee atop the NL Central. Rangers lose to the
Red Sox four two. Astros wrap up a three game
series sweep of the Rockies with a six to four win.
So now it's Houston two games back of Texas for
(27:28):
first in the AL West. Raise lose at home to
the Phillies eight to four. That's eleven straight road wins
for Philadelphia as they knock off the top team. Indian
Americans almost.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Like they hate their fans in Philadelphia. They like going
on the road in.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Wow, it's the strong take tweet that out ethan the
Phillies are winning.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
All the Philly fans are so embarrassed by the logo
they'd rather wear A'SZ.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
That is a fair point. That is a fair point.
Padres beat the Angels five to three. LA outfielder Mike
Trout surgery on his broken wrist out four to eight
weeks Orioles beat the Yankees six to three. Was the
Marlins walking off with a ten nine went over the
Cardinals on a throwing error. By Saint Louis in the
bottom of the ninth inning. Something that no one has
(28:11):
asked for is going to happen. I don't know why,
but the NBA announced it will have an in season
tournament and that the final four will be held in
Las Vegas on December seventh and ninth. Statistics will count
for the league's regular season except for the championship game
of the event. Now, what do you what does the
winner of this get? Do they get anything other than
(28:33):
just a trophy? Is there some incentive to get home
court advantage in the finals?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Look, it's Vegas, eddies, strippers and cocaine.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, they can't get that any times, That's true.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
They are NBA players, so they can't get that. Well,
it is fascinating that Adam Silver he got this in
his head like he thinks this is the end all
be all for the NBA and that this is they're
they're ripping off soccer. There's like a soccer type thing
that they're doing here, a midseason tournament, which is what
they do in European soccer.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And yeah, but they also don't have playoffs in European soccer,
so that I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
It's eddie do not let the hills get in the
way of a good story. But Adam Silver is getting
old horny. He thinks that you can make a lot
of money on this and they can cash in.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
And this is maybe on his home planet, they have
this kind of thing and it works there.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It is possible. It is possible. I thank you for that.
It is the Ben Malord Show. As we continue on
through the overnight hours, and this portion of the show

(29:43):
part of the show that way. What do we have here?
Let's see you can't to read that on the air,
Milkman Mike in Colorado says, I have proof of Hayes
in Minnesota and the female ghost. Oh okay, very nice,
Just josh As Hayes should really put down the embombing fluid.
(30:04):
He's full of it tonight. So he says, all right,
Jock writes and he says, careful threads. They steal all
of your information. Yes, every social media company steals all
of your information. Trust me, if you think that the
(30:25):
ones Twitter doesn't do the same thing. I, in my opinion,
I can say whatever I want if to my opinion,
they all steal your information, all your health, fitness, your
location tracking, contact info, how much money you make, your
tax information, what porn you like. They steal all of it.
So that is my position on that. So people can
(30:47):
make it a big deal. It's like, if you do
not want your info stolen, don't go on any of
the social media accounts, or if you do go on there,
get a burner phone. And even then they're still tracking
where you're going. Yeah, well I'm barking in the night here.
So how about this? Now, many fellas have heard and
(31:08):
the ladies have heard of the Mile High Club there.
It's well known, well known, but this a different kind
of club. But oh what a club it is, and
the only way I could talk about Wimbledon. So this
is a wild story. And I was unaware of this,
but apparently this was going on last year. I don't
know how how I missed this. At the All England Club.
(31:31):
You gotta wear all whites, all white at the All
England Club and all that. So I've never been there
and I'll probably never end up there. I don't know.
My wife wants to go to Europe at some point.
Maybe I'll go by and just take a photo to
say I was there. So at the famous tennis club there,
they have how would I describe this year? So they
(31:57):
have these things called quiet rooms, which are supposed to
they claim to allow people to go in for religious requirements,
moment of reflection like that guy Hayes that called up
could go in there and could do some meditation. So
I didn't know they had these. You probably didn't know
(32:19):
they had these. So they have these quiet.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Rooms, So I think I think they have them in hospitals.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
I believe they believe say all right, So it turns
out last year people were going in there and they
were making full yeah, at the All England Club in
the in the in the prayer rooms. They were going
to Poundtown. And so now the the All England Club
there has decided they are going to crack down on
(32:47):
couples who plan to go in there and uh, you know,
and do the bump and the grind. And people in
charge of Wimbledon have warrened spectators earlier this week that
the seclude you did, sanctuary spaces. They're near Court twelve
by the way, if you ever go to the tennis club,
there the Court twelve, and they will be kept under
(33:09):
a special level of security and they're hoping that they
will not have to kick anyone out for you know, going,
I guess what. They call it the All England Lawn
Tennis Club. So maybe they wanted to roll around on
the lawn and all that. We'll see. But there were
(33:30):
people that were caught last year doing this. My goodness,
all right, what the heck? Why not? What the hell?
Let's go to the phones. We'll take your calls. Eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. Let's
say hello to Paul from Rhode Island, Red Breast Paul.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
Hello, Paul man Mallin, Thank you for dating my call.
How was your thought?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Oh? I was wonderful. I sat right here on this
microphone and I howled at the moon. How about you?
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Me too? I had to work. I'm getting ready to retire.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
So uh now when you were tired, and now when
you were tired, that's more time to call the show.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Right, absolutely, baby, absolutely, Ben mellow, We're going to start
with this, we're going to start how they're dismantling my Celtics.
That's two to uh, two big back guys that used
to balk a lot in the Celtics. But uh, the
reason I'm calling is this. We have a problem in
(34:35):
the NFL. All the divisions are no longer one team
hosts anymore, so they're not spending the money. What I
think is going to happen in my Patriots division and
my Lions will win that division. But my Patriots division,
I think they have no choice but to get the
(34:58):
hop on this team. And it's not all his fault
about Billy oh and him. It was McNair, the son
of the owner that fired Billy O'Brien.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
You got this all? You got this all figured out? Oh? Yeah,
I guess that's what's your source? Is your source? Red?
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Sorry? Is this? He tried to beat Jerry Jones. He
ruined Yah O'Brien's coaching career and that team. Can you
imagine that four teams he played against and he fired him. Okay,
but there was a conflict between McNair the coach.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
When are you retiring?
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Uh September?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Oh, you're only a few months away.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (35:47):
Coming down? Are you coming down to uh? Fred and
Steve Steakhouse in uh Casino?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I was just in the I was just in New
York last week. So I don't know that'll be back,
but I mean I'm back. I'll let you know. I'm
maybe I might have actually I might have another trip
that might pop up on the radar depending on some
things that happen the next couple of days.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
And I just say one more thing. Frenz Fellas and
Stevie Bosi just played for the Patriots and they played
for Buffalo. You know who they are? A man like
you knows who they are? Anyway, I want to say,
a man like you, Yeah from Californias.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
In California know everything clearly, listen.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Uh. I think in baseball after the after the All
Star everybody's going to turn around. These three teams that
spend a lot of money, uh, San Diego, the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
And mess Uh. But it's only been.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Can I pick something? I'm picking Buffalo, the Lions in
a Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
The Ride? Who Cares? Stay tune all Ride, Bye Go Away.
It is the Bayden Mathers Showtime Now for the who
am I Game? The Oriole Aaron Hicks hit a home
run earlier this week, and that means he's now hit
a home run a hit against the Yankees. So he's
now hit a home run four and against the Yankees
(37:09):
this season. I was the last player to do that
against the Bronx Bombers again, the Orioles. Aaron Hicks hit
a home run this season, now four and against the Yankees.
I was the last player to do that for and
against the Bronx Bombers. Who am I the answer? We'll
get to it. We'll do it next. Hey, what's up everybody?

Hello and welcome. It's our number one hour one of
our Thursday podcast. Glad you have joined us here. And
normally on Friday I promote my podcast, not this show,
the other show, but today is different than most weeks
because the podcast is up early. We had a legend
(00:24):
Joey Chestnut, the greatest professional athlete in the world. Joey Chestnut,
a man who ate sixty two hot dogs and buns
Cony Island, New York. We had him on the fifth
hour podcast and you can hear that available for download
on demand. Listen when you want, Listen now, listen later,
listen whenever you want, but check that out, give it
(00:45):
a listen and let us know what you think. Also
here an hour one of the radio show, the Tennessee
Titans are said to be quote well positioned to sign
DeAndre Hopkins, as that based in any reality. Also, Mykovic
wants to a tongue of iloa to bulk up to
avoid injuries. Is it really that simple? And is it
(01:07):
wise for the forty nine ers to reduce George Kittle's workload.
That's been talked about as well. We'll go over all
of those stories and more right now here it is
our number one still hopping around. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour in another edition of the Ben Mather Show.
(01:29):
We are in the air everywhere in partnership as we
blab in the audio lab, coast to coast, border the
border and beyond on the mast and super eminently powerful
microphones of fs are emmating live from the flight deck
as we soar on that red eye flight all night long.
(01:54):
Did you know you can listen to the show on
some airplanes when you're stuck thousands of feet in the air.
We are broadcasting live from the tire rack dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there, an unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
that's a lot recommended installers. Tyre rack dot com the
(02:15):
way tire buying should be. So our lead this hour
coming from the NFL. There's never a bad time to
talk about the NFL. And we're still a couple weeks
away from training camp. But there's a few stories that
have popped up on my sonar that I want to
chat with you about and chew over a little bit,
(02:36):
like some like a nice big wad of bubblegum we'll
chew over these things. Now we'll start in a place
which is always good for talk radio, the unemployment line,
The life and times of de Andre Hopkins. Fired, dismissed,
excommunicated from the Arizona Cardinals. That happened earlier this off season.
(02:56):
Aware of that, right, yea, we are all aware of that.
Hopkins is still on the beach. At least in radio.
When you lose your job, they say you're on the beach. Well,
he's still on the beach. And if you've not heard
the latest, perhaps not a couple days ago, we were
told that Hopkins was going to likely end up with
the Patriots. Well, now a zig and a zag. And
now we're being fed that the Tennessee Titans are quote
(03:19):
well positioned in the DeAndre Hopkins sweep sakes. And Mike Rabel,
who was part of the Texans coaching staff, has a
relationship with DeAndre Hopkins, and he's looking to recreate the relationship, right,
make the magic happen. Cuddle up again, howevery you want
to say it? With this new receiver. Now they are
intrigued about putting Hopkins in the offense to try to
(03:41):
unlock Ryan Tannehill. Good luck on that, all right, So
let us discuss the question the Tennessee Titans. This latest
report saying that they are well positioned to get in
on DeAndre Hopkins. Is that based in reality? So I
have set menu, Barbera and golden baton, and we will
(04:04):
combine all of these things together and we will make
you dizzy. Well, try not to, but I've been told
we do make people disney. So a Tennessee is that
they're on the clock, right, Patriots and Tennessee are on
the clock. But Tennessee is clearly on the dance floor
here with de Andre Hopkins. So it's it's not a
case of well positioned. I don't buy that they're well
(04:28):
positioned because Hopkins, by all accounts, thought that he would
be prime real estate in Caynes City or Buffalo. He
thought he was gonna slide in there and one of
those legit big time Super Bowl contenders. But those teams
so far have said, don't call us, we will call you.
(04:49):
They have punted on Hopkins. So if you look around,
all right, and if you're blind, just listen around. It
is a set menu. Hopkins has limits options, and it's
one of those menus that you can't take the lettuce
off the burger. It comes the way the menu says
it does. And if you don't want the letus, you
gotta take the let us off. There's no alterations. It's
(05:12):
the Titans or the Patriots. That's it. That's the list, period,
hard stop, and that list unremarkable, unremarkable. Neither one of
those teams guaranteed to make the playoffs. Jacksonville said to
be the team on the come in the AFC South
and Tennessee going the other direction. And then you look
(05:34):
at the quarterbacks. You talk about middleweight contenders, Ryan Tannehill,
who for the last couple of years the Titans have
drafted quarterbacks hoping to get rid of Tannehill. He's still there.
And you've got Mac Jones, who's also not guaranteed to
be the guy with the Patriots, and they could get
zappied the Pats. So a couple of non essential quarterbacks,
(05:56):
all things being equal, as we've said, and I'm not
changing my tape from last week or I guess the
week before, Hopkins, all things being equal, if the money's
the same, you go to the Patriots. Why because Derrick
Henry is going to get seventy five percent minimum of
the opportunities to dominate for the Tennessee offense. And plus
(06:18):
you want to plan some high profile games. You signed
a one year contract and that's most likely what Hopkins
is gonna get. You want to end up playing in
a high profile situations. You get more exposure, and all
most of these guys get exposed anyway. But the Patriots,
even though they're not that good, neither of the Titans.
There's more opportunities in the AFC East because you get
two games with Buffalo, two with the Jets and Aaron Rogers,
(06:41):
and then the Dolphins. So those will all be games
of varying degrees of interest. Tennessee playing Tennessee bad Colts
team Jacksonville doesn't have a lot of juice, even though
they were better last year. It's a smaller stage. Now
Page two here, let's pivot away. We'll talk about Michael
Vick for this second time in days. We talk about
(07:02):
Michael Vick, the former NFL star, occasional pigskin pundit, Michael Vick,
who recently had a number of things to say. We
talked about some of them, we did not talk about this.
He recently said that the Dolphins quarterback to a tongue
Biloa needs to do a couple of things to improve
his health status. And what did Vic say? Vic said
(07:25):
that tugue Biloa needs to bulk up a little bit,
get him some cheeseburgers, get him cheeseburgers in Paradise, and
he's got to get a little bigger, a little stronger.
Has to grow into your man body. Michael Vick said,
that's what needs to happen, and he talked about ten
or fifteen more pounds of weight, and then he also said,
(07:48):
don't get hit, don't get knocked around, which it seems
like all you need to do. You don't need to
gain any weight. If you don't get hit, who cares
how thin you are, how fat you are. So let's
talk about this. Michael Vick wants to a tongue of
my laa to bulk up, gain ten or fifteen pounds
to avoid injuries. Is it that simple? And you can't
(08:08):
see me, but I am. I'm hitting my buzzer. Yeah.
All these Kakamami solutions that have been flying around all
off season, I find them amusing. Some of them are bewildering.
The story that's been bouncing around a lot has been
Tongue of by Law has been studying jiu jitsu, and
he's had every quack in the free world give him advice.
(08:28):
I'm convinced our resident quack on the show, Doc Mike's
probably down there in Miami right now saying, Hey toa,
I got this little orange power drink. It's actually yellow.
It's not orange. It's a yellow power drink. You want
to have some? Yeah, But all of this is just static.
I have the answer. The Mather think tank is activated.
Here all the things that have been said, background noise,
(08:51):
I am going to say right now, this is a
Fox Sports Radio exclusive. What to a tongue of Iloa
must do. It does not involve gaining weight, It does
not involve losing weight, it doesn't involve jiu jitsu, none
of that. He needs to go to a tongue by
loa Hannah Barra Old school? What does that mean? Old school? Cartoon?
(09:13):
Quick draw McGraw and now hold on there. If you
simply make quicker decisions, you can never eliminate all of
the hits. However, your odds go up, up and away.
If you look at the quarterbacks who have had long
jet and these guys have had injuries, they're not no
(09:34):
longer playing. But Tom Brady and Drew Brees, I would
say more Drew Brees than Tom Brady. And Breese had
a major injury when he was playing for the old
San Diego Chargers. But those guys mastered the ancient art
of treating the football like an old party game, hot potato,
read and react, get rid of the damn ball. And
(09:55):
if you simply throw within the shortest amount of time
I am talking, I'm off half a second or a
full second from snap release, and that's it. You're not
gonna get hit. The NFL's insulated the quarterbacks. It is
not the game it was when I was a kid.
It's not and it's a soft man's game now in
(10:17):
the NFL. That's the way it is now. Last word here.
So we're gonna go away from Miami. We already went
earlier to Tennessee. Now we go to the Bay Area.
So I read that San Francisco has a plan. I
love when people have plans. I had plans to look
at me now. But San Francisco is looking to downsize,
(10:40):
a downsize. The immense focus on George Kittle. They're tied end.
This is the story bouncing around the Kyle Shanahan and
the brains there in the Bay Area are planning on
spreading things around a little more. Spread that peanut butter
all over the slice of bread. So I want to
talk about this one. Is it wise? Is it wise
(11:02):
for the forty nine ers to reduce George Kittle's workloub
And I am shaking my head. No the way I
would approach this, And honestly, I'm a Rams fan, So
I hope the forty nine ers do the wrong thing.
But if Kittle gets hurt, that fine, he gets hurt.
But to artificially manipulate things, no bueno. This is one
(11:25):
of those ideas which is better in theory than in reality.
Are weah, George Kittle always worked a lot. We want
to spread the offense around. We don't want to be
hyper focused on George Kittle, the fly in the ointment
or the turd in the punch bowl. The forty nine
ers are lacking a dominant quarterback. Joe Montana is not
(11:45):
walking through those doors. Steve Young not walking through those doors.
Even Jeff Garcia is not walking through those doors. Now,
that would be a very crisp move if that happened.
But Brock Purdy, who played above he means, he was
above his means last season as mister Irrelevant played well,
(12:05):
but he had a medical procedure this offseason, he's still unknown.
And the other quarterbacks are Trey Lance and Sam Darnold. Yeah,
you need smelling salts with those guys, so they don't
really get your blood flowing too much. Maybe if you're
related to them, they do, but I'm not, so that's
not the case. And the issue when you talk about
(12:28):
the lack of a dominant quarterback is because what becomes
the safety blanket for the mediocre quarterback. It's the tight end.
And George Kittle's a good tight end, but that's essential
when you have a possibly wobbly quarterback, check down, throw
the tight end. Usually the tight end's open. But look
at the golden baton. If you're going to cut the
(12:49):
targets of George Kittle, who's going to take the golden
baton and run with it. Now, you should get more
out of Deebo Samuel Okay, but how much more? He
said he did not well last year. The numbers were down.
Brandon Ayuk is a nice player, but he's not shown
to be an elite, elite wide receiver. And then you
(13:10):
look at the other tight ends and you're like somebody
named Charlie Warner, I believe, and I don't know. I
don't know who these other people are. I don't know
who he is. Yeah, George Skill's gonna turn thirty years old,
which in life is young, but in sports you're starting
to get a little a little old in the NFL.
But he's your twelve million dollars a year tight end.
(13:33):
You ride the car until the wheels fall off. That's
the move there for Shanahan and the Niners. It is
the Bean Mallord Show. You want to comment on any
of that or anything else. We are what. We're open
for business. Yeah, it's the the open. We never closed this.
I mean, I wish I worked at a store that closed.
(13:53):
We don't close. We're always open. It's a smashing success.
Eight seven seven ninety nine one eight seven seven nine
nine six six three six ' nine. And you've heard
of the Mile High Club. Oh, there's a different kind
of club, not quite the Mile High Club. It's the
(14:13):
C Level Club. But oh what a club it is.
We'll get to that and we will do it next,

your humble sidekick to the Voice of Reason, your news guy.
You're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox. And if
you listen for the entire show, you'll get a treat
in the final hour. It's Puck the World, my weekly
NHL report. Well, that's worth sticking around for it.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I don't know if that's a treat.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's a tremendous treat.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
That could be like when you're a kid and your
parents foshy vegetables.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
No, that's absolutely wrong. You're wrong about that. And now
live from the tyrack dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios
it's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
So I've been advised by listeners that I need to
get away from Twitter. I'm still on Twitter. We still
use Twitter for the show, but for some reason, I've
signed up there's something called threads.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Are you were familiar with threads?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I'm not familiar with that now.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, so this is I guess the is it the
Instagram competitor to Twitter? Is that what this is? I
don't know I even know what this is. I just
signed up for it. I don't even know where it is,
but but I'm there, so I just if anybody's on there,
it's the Ben Mahller on Fox on threads, Ben Maller
on Fox on Threads, which is supposed to be like
(15:55):
a ripoff version of Twitter. And I'm ready to leave Twitter.
I've had enough. Elon Musk has destroyed that for me,
the joy that I used to get out of that.
And so we'll see. Are they you think they'll be
nicer people on this? There'll be a holes on that.
Like I've noticed people on Facebook are pretty nice. I
think they're generally I think is that an older crowd
(16:17):
on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
From what I've told, Yes, Yeah, all right, but.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
People are complete schmucks on Twitter. But speaking of that,
we are on Twitter at Ben mallor yes, yes, you
can be part of that, or you can follow me
on great Promotion, or you can follow me on the
threads there Ben Mahler on Fox, which is also the
name of the Instagram account. So very exciting, I know, Milkman,
(16:44):
Mike and Colorado writes, and he says, great openly monologue.
All two and needs to do is update the required
equipment for quarterbacks and he'll be fine. A bunch of
porcelain dolls. So he says, who else are we have?
Page down? Page down? Keith and now says on a
radio salary these days, how can you be on the beach?
(17:04):
Maybe on a river bar in Missouri?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah, Well there are some beaches that show is that
show still on Beach Front Bargain Hunt or something like
that on the h G TV. There's some places in
the boondocks where you can get a place near the
beach for pretty pretty good money. I don't live in
one of those places. Yeah. Matt the Warrior Raider as
(17:30):
fan says, the people telling you to leave Twitter are dopes,
all right? Fair enough, I'm Matt you you appear to
be a fan, which is which is fine, that's good.
I'll test this out. I don't know it's gonna It's
gonna have to be pretty good for me to cross
over there. So we'll see whether I want to go
down that direction. I'm not sure that I will. We
(17:52):
have a wheel we spin of a producer Eddie already
already mentioned, but we have Ethan, who's here. He's a
He's been on the show a few times. He's from Philadelphia.
Although I learned something about Ethan this week that he
is a big fan of the Oakland Athletics, which is
very odd. I saw him in the hallways of Fox
Sports Radio and he was wearing an Oakland A's hat.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
He's still wearing it.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Yeah, matter of fact, you know that's not true.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
What did I say? That was not true?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
That I'm an Oakland A's fan.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
You're wearing You're wearing an A's hat.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
You know what happened?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I don't. I don't think I do.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't, I sincerely don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So well, you were you were sleeping at it because
you ate too?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
No, I probably was, wasn't I probably watching YouTube or something.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Yesterday in the kitchen, I had nothing to do with
you don't worry about it. Yesterday in the kitchen, I
was wearing this Oakland A's hat and I told Ben
that it was for the look because it's like a
certain material. You know, it's like an expensive hat.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
So you know.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I was like, you know, I'll wear it. It's a
good hat. Well, I don't care about the Oakland A
well wear, so I was. So I asked him.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It's an interesting fashion move, I asked him.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
I asked him as if it was a violation as
a Phillies fan to wear.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
This, and what did I tell you? It is? But
it doesn't fan, No, it's a fan violation. And because
you could have gotten that same hat with the Phillies.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
The hat it doesn't look good.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Who would wear that like the Phillies hat.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
It just doesn't. It's it's gross.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It doesn't Phillies hat is gross.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
You can't wear that out.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Why is the Phillies hat gross?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It's like red and yeah, it's just doesn't.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
It's now. Before you were around, the Phillies had these
powder blue like uniforms, although the hat was red. If
I remember so they didn't have.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I could I could maybe pull off a powder blue that.
We'll see. I'll come in with one.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Well, what did I tell you, Ethan? I explained to you,
I said, listen. I in fact, tonight, I'm wearing my
hat of the night is a Montreal Expos red white
and blue.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Oh beautiful.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's a great hat. Who are my favorite? Wow? And
I'm a Dodger fan. But that's not a fan violation.
The Expos don't exist. They're dead. Baseball killed them. They
killed Upie and uh and the and and all the.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
The switched over the mascot.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
But the point is still the same. They killed the team.
So when the team's dead, you can then wear the
hat of the team, Like if you wanted to wear
a Washington senator's hat, you could do that, or a
Saint Louis Brown's hat. You could go that direction teams
that are defunct. But when when it's now that that hat,
(20:36):
I'll tell you what, When the A's moved to Vegas,
you can keep wearing that hat. That's okay because the
Oakland As will be dead, all right, yeah, well, and
then you'll come out of the closet after that, then
you can yes you did. All right, it is the
Ben Meler Show. Let's go to the phones and we'll
start out with a celebrity caller from Menis Soda. It
(21:00):
says on my board here Hayes in Minnesota.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Hello Hayes, Hey Ben, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Hey Hayes. We had your friend call in yesterday?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, some a man on my word? Yeah she I.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Wasn't Yeah, oh oh you missed it, Eddie. It was
quite the night here so in. I think it was
our was it our one? I want to say it
was our one. Maria from the Morgue called this assistant,
the German lady, I said, but she said, she didn't
really say she was from from Germany. Her family, I
(21:38):
guess originally was from Germany. But I don't know that
is Maria a traditional German name?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Honestly, I'm into guys. I don't. I don't ask question
about it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Whatever. I Well, there you go. You learned something new
every day about the people that call, you know, So
how can we help you? Hayes? What's going? I'm s
so bummed out we didn't get together. You didn't show
up of the Malor meet and greet there in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I got something you want to hear.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Okay, well be the judge of that.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Apparently, all right, the house I live in, apparently it
was a grave site many many, many many years ago. Yeah,
and I'd done some research. Why am I keeping seeing
a tall, very very dark woman maybe every two or
(22:32):
three weeks?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Is she a nice Is she a nice woman?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Apparently they said it and lost her parents, so she
buried them in the backyard many many, many many years.
So this was illegal.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Anyway, So she's still there. Do you ever? Can you
have her? Call the show? The ghost? Yeah? Do ghost
talk or do they not talk?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I'll ask him? Does she talk to you?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I'm asking?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Well, no, the thing is honest to god, I don't
get much sleep because I'm always things are always happening.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
But it might be the reason why you're seeing things.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
But this particular last time I got hurt, I actually
fell because.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It did the ghost trip you.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Now, the ghost tackled him, but it was horse callar tackle.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
She was coming at me and and and so you can't.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You cannot hit a female ghost. That's domestic. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I don't know. There's different rules when it comes to ghosts.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
No, but female ghosts.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
You can female, you can't hit it.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
But if it's a ghost, it's different.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
So I ordered surveillance cameras.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
What's that you did?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
What you surveillance cameras?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
What what is that?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Surveillance cameras?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
It catches any movements, small or large? All right, and
I hope I catch something.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
If you do, can you put it on Twitter for us?
You put the video up on Twitter so we can
see it.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, yes, I'll tag you on the new website. Ben
mentioned it.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I'm not there, I'm on threads.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I'm on there right now. I just sent out my
new threads. That was my first message on there. And
Kyle responded to aloha Ben? Yeah, yeah, what's Terry? And
England's on there? How about that? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Hey, you guys should give the new guy promotion. I like,
you know, he sounds like he knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Which guy? Oh oh Ethan?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah all right, well well Ben and I have been
here longer than anyone else, so we definitely have it
in our power to promote people just on site.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, yes, I actually in charge of the payroll here.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Right man?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Where were you?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Garcia it's a holiday. Fourth of July holidays, some people
have heard of it.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Well, actually yesterday was the fifth of your eyes.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, but the nighttime carried over, you know, into the fifth.
The fireworks are going off, by the way, all night
over where I live, so apparently it's still the holiday.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah. Did you light any fireworks off at your job there, Hayes, any.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Any fire Oh no, No, I was meditating. I was
off last and I was meditating.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Are you a Buddhist?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
No, I don't. I don't believe in anything like that.
I just I just closed my eyes for two three
hours and meditate.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
For two or three hours. That seems like a long
time to meditate.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Yeah, in the dark, I meditate just just I think
about uh, clean oxygen to breathe and just all.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
The good stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, that's really good stuff. All right, Well, thank you Hayes.
All right, I'll go all right, thank you. Have your
friend call more too. There you go, our friend Hayes.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Can't wait to see that ghost footage that he posts.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, that's sorry. That's our guy, Hayes and Maria from
the Morgue. And he had an interesting reaction when I
asked him about marine. He said something that was very
eye opening. Well, what's that?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I mean, you can go back and hear the podcast
if you want to know.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No, you were not paying attention to bad job you.
It is not the Mile High Club. But oh what
a club it is. We'll get to that. We'll take
some more of these riveting phone calls, but right now,
let's get you caught up on everything going on in
the overnight, and right over there we say hello to
Edmund Garcia.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
All right, thank you, Ben. We'll start, of course with
major League baseball games, and no, we had the Braves
getting back on track after their winning street came to
it end tonight before they pick up an eight to
one win over the Guardians and prove it to a
major league best fifty eight and twenty eight twin shut
out the Royals five nothing, Minnesota getting a three game
series sweep of Kansas City. They now hold a two
game lead on Cleveland for first in the AL Central.
Diamondbacks lose to the Mets two to one, while the
(27:06):
Dodgers beat the Pirate six to four, so La now
a game and a half back of Arizona in the
NL West race. He had the red zone of the
Nationals nine to two, while the Brewers lost to the
Cubs for three, So Cincinnati now at two game lead
on Milwaukee atop the NL Central. Rangers lose to the
Red Sox four two. Astros wrap up a three game
series sweep of the Rockies with a six to four win.
So now it's Houston two games back of Texas for
(27:28):
first in the AL West. Raise lose at home to
the Phillies eight to four. That's eleven straight road wins
for Philadelphia as they knock off the top team. Indian
Americans almost.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Like they hate their fans in Philadelphia. They like going
on the road in.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Wow, it's the strong take tweet that out ethan the
Phillies are winning.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
All the Philly fans are so embarrassed by the logo
they'd rather wear A'SZ.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
That is a fair point. That is a fair point.
Padres beat the Angels five to three. LA outfielder Mike
Trout surgery on his broken wrist out four to eight
weeks Orioles beat the Yankees six to three. Was the
Marlins walking off with a ten nine went over the
Cardinals on a throwing error. By Saint Louis in the
bottom of the ninth inning. Something that no one has
(28:11):
asked for is going to happen. I don't know why,
but the NBA announced it will have an in season
tournament and that the final four will be held in
Las Vegas on December seventh and ninth. Statistics will count
for the league's regular season except for the championship game
of the event. Now, what do you what does the
winner of this get? Do they get anything other than
(28:33):
just a trophy? Is there some incentive to get home
court advantage in the finals?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Look, it's Vegas, eddies, strippers and cocaine.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, they can't get that any times, That's true.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
They are NBA players, so they can't get that. Well,
it is fascinating that Adam Silver he got this in
his head like he thinks this is the end all
be all for the NBA and that this is they're
they're ripping off soccer. There's like a soccer type thing
that they're doing here, a midseason tournament, which is what
they do in European soccer.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And yeah, but they also don't have playoffs in European soccer,
so that I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
It's eddie do not let the hills get in the
way of a good story. But Adam Silver is getting
old horny. He thinks that you can make a lot
of money on this and they can cash in.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
And this is maybe on his home planet, they have
this kind of thing and it works there.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It is possible. It is possible. I thank you for that.
It is the Ben Malord Show. As we continue on
through the overnight hours, and this portion of the show
brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Progressive makes buddling easy

(29:43):
part of the show that way. What do we have here?
Let's see you can't to read that on the air,
Milkman Mike in Colorado says, I have proof of Hayes
in Minnesota and the female ghost. Oh okay, very nice,
Just josh As Hayes should really put down the embombing fluid.
(30:04):
He's full of it tonight. So he says, all right,
Jock writes and he says, careful threads. They steal all
of your information. Yes, every social media company steals all
of your information. Trust me, if you think that the
(30:25):
ones Twitter doesn't do the same thing. I, in my opinion,
I can say whatever I want if to my opinion,
they all steal your information, all your health, fitness, your
location tracking, contact info, how much money you make, your
tax information, what porn you like. They steal all of it.
So that is my position on that. So people can
(30:47):
make it a big deal. It's like, if you do
not want your info stolen, don't go on any of
the social media accounts, or if you do go on there,
get a burner phone. And even then they're still tracking
where you're going. Yeah, well I'm barking in the night here.
So how about this? Now, many fellas have heard and
(31:08):
the ladies have heard of the Mile High Club there.
It's well known, well known, but this a different kind
of club. But oh what a club it is, and
the only way I could talk about Wimbledon. So this
is a wild story. And I was unaware of this,
but apparently this was going on last year. I don't
know how how I missed this. At the All England Club.
(31:31):
You gotta wear all whites, all white at the All
England Club and all that. So I've never been there
and I'll probably never end up there. I don't know.
My wife wants to go to Europe at some point.
Maybe I'll go by and just take a photo to
say I was there. So at the famous tennis club there,
they have how would I describe this year? So they
(31:57):
have these things called quiet rooms, which are supposed to
they claim to allow people to go in for religious requirements,
moment of reflection like that guy Hayes that called up
could go in there and could do some meditation. So
I didn't know they had these. You probably didn't know
(32:19):
they had these. So they have these quiet.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Rooms, So I think I think they have them in hospitals.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
I believe they believe say all right, So it turns
out last year people were going in there and they
were making full yeah, at the All England Club in
the in the in the prayer rooms. They were going
to Poundtown. And so now the the All England Club
there has decided they are going to crack down on
(32:47):
couples who plan to go in there and uh, you know,
and do the bump and the grind. And people in
charge of Wimbledon have warrened spectators earlier this week that
the seclude you did, sanctuary spaces. They're near Court twelve
by the way, if you ever go to the tennis club,
there the Court twelve, and they will be kept under
(33:09):
a special level of security and they're hoping that they
will not have to kick anyone out for you know, going,
I guess what. They call it the All England Lawn
Tennis Club. So maybe they wanted to roll around on
the lawn and all that. We'll see. But there were
(33:30):
people that were caught last year doing this. My goodness,
all right, what the heck? Why not? What the hell?
Let's go to the phones. We'll take your calls. Eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. Let's
say hello to Paul from Rhode Island, Red Breast Paul.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
Hello, Paul man Mallin, Thank you for dating my call.
How was your thought?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Oh? I was wonderful. I sat right here on this
microphone and I howled at the moon. How about you?
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Me too? I had to work. I'm getting ready to retire.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
So uh now when you were tired, and now when
you were tired, that's more time to call the show.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Right, absolutely, baby, absolutely, Ben mellow, We're going to start
with this, we're going to start how they're dismantling my Celtics.
That's two to uh, two big back guys that used
to balk a lot in the Celtics. But uh, the
reason I'm calling is this. We have a problem in
(34:35):
the NFL. All the divisions are no longer one team
hosts anymore, so they're not spending the money. What I
think is going to happen in my Patriots division and
my Lions will win that division. But my Patriots division,
I think they have no choice but to get the
(34:58):
hop on this team. And it's not all his fault
about Billy oh and him. It was McNair, the son
of the owner that fired Billy O'Brien.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
You got this all? You got this all figured out? Oh? Yeah,
I guess that's what's your source? Is your source? Red?
Speaker 6 (35:18):
