Speaker 4 (01:43):
Shoot me and our lead.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
We start with baseball. Were you watching the All Star
game from Seattle?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You were not?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
We'll find out. The people at baseball very excited. Everyone's
watching now because they made the game shorter. People fired
up for that. The mid Summer Classic box.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So American National League All Stars grappling right there on
the field. Somebody named Elias Diaz. We don't really know
who that is. We think he is a caper for
the Rockies. I could not pick him out. I don't
collect baseball cards anymore. Neither's anyone, well, the few people do.
But Elias Diaz of the Rockies did a pinch hit,
(02:32):
go ahead, two run homer in the eighth inning, and
the National League Stars edged the American League Stars three
to two. In the twenty three version of the Midsummer Classic.
We almost got a home run derby Craig Kimbrel almost
puked up the lead for the National League All Stars.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
But he was able to get out of it.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And if that game had entered in a tie, we
would have had a home run Derby. I was pulling
for a home run Derby. Why I was bored, That's
why I was pulling for a home run Derby to
decide the All Star Game. Now, some observations, some observations
on the All Star.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Game A little much, A little much.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
For example, you had Yondi Diaz. I'm told he plays
for the Tampa Bay Rays. He had a home run
in the second inning, but he actually rudely interrupted a
chit chat between the broadcasters of the All Star Game
and Corbin Carroll, who plays for the Diamondbacks. They were
having a chat about an each hero screensaver. I am
(03:39):
not kidding. By the way, I'm not making this up.
It sounds like, you, wait a minute, you're telling me
that in the All Star Game, they interrupted a conversation
between one of the players. A bunch of guys were
micd up throughout the game. We had one point, a
pitcher and a batter were both miked up at one
point in the game, and they were going around and I.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Don't I don't need all the bells and whistles. I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I guess you do. You need It's your fault. I'm
looking at you. You yes, I'm talking to you. To me,
it gets in the way. And understand Major League Baseball
wants all these gadgets and think of a jigs and
watch your MC college in the All Star Game to
enhance it. The uniforms, in one word, were terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible,
(04:24):
terrible terrible. Now I understand Nike is spending eaxzillion dollars
on the uniforms, and so they have to get some
some inventory. I think that inventory from that Nike made
for all those jerseys, I believe that will go to
a third world country somewhere. They'll be wearing All Star
jerseys and hats. Yeah, the All State You don't need it.
You're trying too hard. Just put the players in the
(04:46):
actual uniforms from their respective teams. I know, Oh, you're
being such a loser. Why would you say that? What
about these new jerseys? The kids love them? Okay, all right,
now for talk radio purposes, the All Star Game itself.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Not good talk radio.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But Rob Manford, or man Fraud, as we call him
on this show is supplying the content kitting and he's
filling it up, and we thank you for that. He gave,
for lack of a better term, the State of the
Union address of Major League Baseball prior to the All
Star Game, covering all of the basis, including a topic
(05:28):
that drove sports rade. If you're old, you might remember
back in the olden days, if a host had nothing
to say, they would say, should Pete Rose be on
the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
And they'd open up the phone lines.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And that's like late early nineties, mid nineties, late nineties,
early two thousands, right until steroids took that off the table,
and then it was what are you look at steroids
in baseball?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But Pete Rose was a huge topic of conversation and
the all time hit king banned from baseball for gambling
on baseball. And now you can't turn on a baseball
game without seeing a gambling commercial.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You cannot.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And I'm a gambler, I like gambling, but you cannot
watch a baseball game without some kind of gambling reference.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
So anyway, what happened?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Get to the point, please, So Rob Manford says he
has quote well, it's not exact quote, but he said
he had no intention of reversing Pete Rose's lifetime ban
from baseball. He said that the commercial endorsements that Baseball's
accepted from various gambling companies will have no impact on
(06:34):
the status of the all time hit King, Charlie Hustle
Pete Rose quote this actual quote. Pete Rose violated what
is sort of rule one in baseball, and the consequences
of that are clear in the rule, and we've continued
to abide by our own rules. Manford mumbled. Rose banned
way back in nineteen eighty nine. My god, that's a
(06:55):
long time ago, the all time hit King for betting
on baseball. As man of the Cincinnati Reds. He's applied
for reinstatement multiple times. He's been rejected every single time.
So let us discuss the question, what is your viewpoint
on Rob Manford stonewalling Pete Rose from.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
The Hall of Fame yet again.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So I've got Salad Bull, Baskin, Robbins, and Sandy and
we will get to all of these things, and we
are going to make an amazing night in the Malor Palooza,
which is right around the corner. So a Rob Manford's
response was predictable. That's the word I'm gonna go with, predictable,
(07:37):
because this is a guy that started working. Iet't understand
the timeline. It's a dead giveaway. Rob Manford started working
from Major League Baseball as an outside lawyer in nineteen
eighty seven. Labor negotiator Rob Manford. He was working for
the Commissioner's office as a lawyer outside council when bart
(07:59):
g my suspended Pete Rose and then dropped dead shortly
after that, and it was whispered at the time it
continues to be whispered that Pete Rose will never be
allowed back in baseball as long as he is breathing.
When he kicks the bucket, then they'll let him, but
(08:22):
not while he's alive. And those around the game at
the time blame, whether true or not, blame the stress
from the Pete Rose story for causing bart Giamanni's departure
from this mortal coil. Now, keep in mind, Jimmani had
poor health. He was not in the greatest shape, and
so you could make the argument that those things also
(08:43):
led to his demise. But that doesn't matter, because once
the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend,
so we cannot help but enjoy the salad bowl. And
we don't like salad, but this one is a it's
a salad bull. It's an irony salad is what it is.
Because you've got this paradox of Rob Manford saying that
(09:05):
Major League Baseball will quote abide by their own rules
when it comes to Pete Rose gambling. At the same time,
Major League Baseball, with Rob Manford as the watchdog, allowed
the twenty seventeen Astros to cheat to win the World Series.
Those players went unpunished and in fact were rewarded with
(09:29):
a championship and protection from Major League Baseball. More vindication
for us, more validation that Rob Manford is a varmit.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Now, moving on from.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That, Major League Baseball confirming over the All Star Break
that Oakland has already started the relocation process. They filed
the paperwork, all the red tape to relocate to Lost Wages, Nevada,
to screw over all the tourists that want to go
to Vegas and not have to pay fifty bucks to
park their car, because they're going to build a ballpark
where Bally's is right in the middle the strip totally
(10:01):
sticking it to all the people that visit Vegas for
a crap baseball team. But that's a different conversation. So
Manford intimated that once the A's moved to Vegas officially,
which won't happen for a couple of years, in the
Rays get a new ballpark, either in Florida or somewhere else,
they will then pivot and they will add not one,
(10:23):
but two. We can't add just one, get a two
expansion franchises. So is expansion in baseball excellent or abysmal?
So it is none of those things. It is Baskin Robbins.
It's plain vanilla, is what it is.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It's a money grab. Oh it's always a money grab.
You gotta split the ply up. But the initial checks
that come from whoever buys in each franchise will be
at least four billion dollars for the So you're talking
about eight billion dollars of new money that gets spread
around to the other teams, and they can get taxpayer
money from some hack politicians. But with the A's in
Vegas and the Rays either in Florida, what I've heard
(11:04):
is either going to stay in the Tampa, Saint Pete
area and somewhere in Florida or Nashville has been kicked
around as a possibility for the Rays that they would
end up in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
But after that, what's left?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
So you check Vegas, you check that box, you check Nashville,
so you look around. The other possibilities for expansion are Montreal, Oh, coda?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
How about Vancouver? Do Vancouver? Also?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Last I checked in Canada? Mexico City. The problem is
the peso versus the dollar and how much Baseball would
want to charge for tickets. That would be a problem.
Some other possibilities. To toss out Charlotte as a possibility,
the Carolinas have not had a.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Major league team. You can go San Antonio.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Why not San Antonio, New Orleans, Portland, Oregon? Places like that.
There are no obvious locations though. Now is it true
that Major League Baseball will be moving the All Star
Game back to Atlanta? That also popped up, and Rob
Manford confirmed that Atlanta is under consideration for the twenty
twenty five All Star Game. And why is that a
(12:12):
big thing? Because it is a white flag situation from
Baseball that they fed it up, They screwed up. Rob
Manford admitting, Hey, we are royal idiots at Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
We are dumb dums.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
The fact that they're even considering Atlanta is a admission.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
It is confirmation.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It is a guilty plea by Major League Baseball that
they should not have taken the twenty twenty one All
Star Game out of Georgia. There was that outcry over
the voting laws, which was absurd at the time. It's
still absurd, and now Baseball's like, you know what, you're right,
we're gonna we're thinking about twenty twenty five put in
the All Star Game back in Atlanta after they moved
it to Colorado in twenty twenty one. All right, last
(12:56):
word here, So Major League Baseball wants the pitch claw
in the playoffs playoffs, but the players say they need
more time in October. We need more time, That's what
they're saying there. So union boss Tony Clark upset. He
raised some concerns. Now, we had talked about this in
any previous episode of the show. Tony Clark raised some
(13:18):
concerns here from the All Star Game in Seattle, will
Major League Baseball will they embargo the pitch clock for
the playoffs much like the ghost runner thing, which they've had,
but they don't do it in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
They just do it during the regular season.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
So I am shaking my head no on this that
they will not. There is zero chance, zero chance that
they will take a hammer to the stopwatch. In baseball.
It is a sandy situation. There is compromise. They can
shake hands and say, Okay, you know what we're gonna do.
(13:54):
We're not gonna get rid of the clock. There's zero
chance of that, but will add some more sand to
the hour glass, say five to ten seconds on every situation.
Right now that the pitch clock is relatively short, so
they add five to ten seconds for the playoffs. That
average is three hundred combined. There's three hundred combined pitches
(14:19):
in an average baseball game, one hundred and fifty hundred
and fifty for each team. So you do the math
on that. If you add an extra five seconds to
the clock in each situation, you get an extra twenty
five minutes, an extra half hour, which would mean you've
(14:39):
just put back the time that left. You see what
I'm saying, Like the baseball gets are twenty six minutes
shorter if you add five seconds to the clock in
each situation, it then becomes a case where you added
twenty five minutes, so you've then lost one minute off
the speed of the game. It is the and plus
there's more commercials on television to the pluffs.
Speaker 2 (14:59):

That's the ticket. Yeah, sure, why not?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Adjacent as you put our toes in the sand, coast
to coast, border, the border and beyond on the mast
and forcefully powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from the
bump things that go bumpiny bump in the middle of
the night, like people playing the nose trumpet. The Malard
(15:47):
Palooza continues. We get to those acts in a little bit.
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot Com studios
tyraq dot com. We'll help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection over ten thousand.
It's a lot recommended installers. Tireract dot com. The way
tire buying chew.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Me.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And if you were with us last hour, you heard
our friend Matt from Nashville. He did the nose trumpet.
That was our opening act in malleplus who have much
much more of that, many more acts here this hour,
but a good opening to the talent show. But our
lead this hour actually I have to talk sports so
we don't get in trouble with boss. The boss gets upset,
so they'll be they'll be a sleep soon. So our
(16:28):
lead this hour coming from the NBA Pro Bouncy Ball
Talk in July, and we start in Dallas, where Mark
Cuban has loose lips. Now, if you didn't hear what
he said, possibly not. The mav rec owner Mark Cuban
did an interview with state sponsored NBA Radio and he
explained why he is a believer in Kyrie Irving. Even
(16:53):
though Kyrie went to Dallas and the Mavericks literally pooped
at mid court with Kyrie on the team, didn't even
make the Plouffs, tried not to make the playoffs, didn't
want to be in the playing tournament, eve though Miami
was in the playing tournament, got to the NBA Finals.
Dallas has such a losing mentality there. That's mavrack culture.
That they didn't even want that, they didn't want the
shot at going on a run in the playing tournament,
(17:14):
and they tanked at the end and got caught tanking. Anyway,
get to the point, please, So Mark Cuban, appearing on
this state sponsored NBA radio says it's going to be different.
He explained why he believes that Kyrie Irving is a
good person and is just quote misunderstood by many people.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I think Kyrie is just misunderstood, Cuban opined. Everyone sees
all the noise and everything around him, but when you
actually talk to him, I like him. He's open, he's smart,
he's always looking to learn things. To me, he's an
interesting guy. That's just misunderstood. Close quote. So let us
discuss the question here, all right, Why is Mark Cuban
(17:56):
defending Kyrie Irving's nonsense? It's not just his basketball, defending
the basketball part of it, but the other stuff. To me,
that sounded like a full defense of the entire Kyrie experience.
So I've got Sister Sledge, Empty Calories, and comic book
Super Villain, and we will combine all of these things together.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
And we are going to make.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
An amazing night in the Mallard Palooza, which this night
is different than all other nights. So number one, Mark
Cuban has to protect his investment. I get that part
of it. The MAVs absolutely bungled this situation. Can we
all agree on that? Everyone nod your head yet?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
All right?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
So they traded a bunch of goodies, if you will,
random draft picks players to get Uncle Drew from Brooklyn,
and they then boxed themselves into a corner. Because of
Kyrie's contractual obligations and his free agency, they had to
keep the player. They had to keep the player. So
no matter how big a whack a doodle Kyrie is,
(19:03):
and by NBA standards, he's pretty high up on the
wack of doodle scoreboard, the Mavericks had to keep him.
So Mark Cuban cut the big cartoon size check three years,
one hundred and twenty six million dead presidents. And now
now he's singing a Sister Sledge classic, we Are Family Late,
(19:23):
We Are Family, and smoking the peace pipe. He's also
doing some gas lighting here, and we talk about gas lighting.
It's psychological manipulation. It's a form of psychological manipulation when
you try to confuse right. Misunderstood is a buzzword, planting
the seed of doubt. Like maybe everything you've come to
(19:46):
know about Kyrie and all the things that he's promoted.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Just misunderstand. It's the media.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You know, he's the guy keeping away, He's the guy
that sends stuff out on so media. It's not like
his account. He has caused friction everywhere he has been
on and off the court. Cleveland didn't want to play
with Lebron anymore, wanted to leave. Cleveland went to Boston,
didn't like Boston, said he wanted to play. He wanted
to initially actually liked Boston, and then he didn't want it.
(20:19):
Went to Brooklyn, talked about how you want to play there.
He was a fan of the Nets as a kid
and all that crap, and then that was at Loggerheads
with Durant by the time he got done in Brooklyn.
And the one common denominator in all of these situations
is Kiray Irly, It's gonna happen in Big d Kyrie
(20:40):
also agreed to a new shoe deal with a sneaker
company from communist China, So remember that next time he
attacks America and things that are going on in the
culture in America.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Kyrie is now fully in bed with China.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
So all right now page two here Zion Williamson, the
big tabagoo from the Bible You. Zion Williamson has popped
back up on our radar and during an appearance on
the Gilbert Arenas podcast Everyone's Got a Podcast, Zion admitted
the difficulties of maintaining a diet, having problems with his dad.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
He said, there are times where I will say, man,
that blanks word is hard. It's hard, man.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
He talked about twenty twenty two, it's a lot of money,
and he went on and on talked about how hard
is Did Zion Williamson win votes with his talk about
dieting being hard? Did that resonate with the electorate.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I'm gonna go now. I'm gonna go now because unlike
Joe Blow or your favorite gas bag, that would be me.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Well maybe I'm not your favorite gas bag, but I
have had the battle of the bulge my entire life,
right and to me this rant by Zion. He also
said he was gonna copy Lebron James training blueprint. Doesn't
Lebron spend like a million dollars a year on training
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You like to talk about that good luck, good luck.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
This is chips, fries, donuts, ice cream. It's empty calories.
There's no substance to it. And I think most people
most I've had friends that could eat an entire cow
and they wouldn't gain a pound. But for most of us,
men and women, we eat, we get fat and it
(22:34):
becomes a problem. And the older you get, the worst
it gets, and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
But here's the difference.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like, my job is to come here and bark like
a dog or howl like a wolf at the moon
in the middle of the night, and you don't necessarily
have to be in shape. But you know, if I'm
an athlete, you're you're no different than a prostitute. You're
selling your body. Prostitutes sell their body, athletes sell their
but that is your product. And so Zion Williamson is
(23:04):
selling his athletic talents on the court, and so that's
his job, and they paid him the max. I'm upset
with Zion because I pull for the fat athlete. There
is fit fat. We have had fit fat athletes over
the years. He's not fit fat.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
He's not. He's not.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I need fitfat. I need zion to be fit fat.
He's not fit fat, he's not. He's six to six,
he's listed at two eighty four. He looks over three
hundred pounds to me. And he's been a spectator. He
was limited to twenty nine games last season, twenty nine.
He missed the entire twenty twenty one to twenty two
season while recovering from foot surgery. And he has practiced
(23:42):
load management. And I could make a joke not only
on the court, but off it shout out OnlyFans. But
that's a different conversation. All right, final point, We are
told that James Harden has reiterated as we go to Philadelphia,
he has reiterated that the seventy six ers must get
rid of him. He does not want to play there anymore,
even though he opted in for thirty five point six million.
(24:04):
He has told his buddy Darryl Morey, who he's chumming with,
that I would like to get out of the Delaware Valley.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I don't want to be there anymore, even though he
opted in.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
How are James Harden's trade demands going for the Sixers?
How's this going so Harden at this point is like
a comic book super villain. Okay, he's mister Freeze as
in Chirogenic's Gone Bad. He's frozen in Philadelphia, even though
(24:33):
it's the summertime. He's in a holding pattern. He's gonna
turn thirty four years old, which is not old in
the real world, but in sports it's old if you're
a basketball player. He's facing gloominess is what he's facing.
Nobody is gonna trade much for James Harden at this
particular point in time. That's a fact, Jack, and it's
a game of chicken. The seventy six ers trying to
(24:55):
get something for this guy. The rest of the league
is like, eh, you know, well, oh, you don't call us.
Speaker 2 (25:01):

Speaker 7 (25:59):
When asked by the media about the live Golf PGA situation,
Adam Silver said the idea of a sovereign wealth fund
purchasing an NBA team is not gonna happen on his
watch quote for the foreseeable future, Ben, do you think
a sovereign wealth fund could infiltrate some of our team sports?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
In fact, Adam Silver, he says, my majority owner. But
they call them governors because they're stupid. But it's already happened.
The sovereign wealth fund I believe has purchased five percent
of the parent company of the Washington Wizards and the
Washington Capitals, so that they've already started the process or process,
(26:39):
and all these teams.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Talk about, oh, we're not going to do this, We're
not gonna do that. Trust me.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
If the most money comes from the Saudi wealth, they
could buy every team. It's it's inevitable, it's going to happen.
If they want it to happen, they'll buy the NFL.
They can buy any team they want. They've got seven
hundred billion dollars to play with next.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
Last season and the NFC South was the worst division
in the NFL as the Bucks made the playoffs with
a sub five hundred record. All four teams made changes
to their quarterback position in the offseason. Which team do
you think has the best shot of turning it around?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
All right? So the answer is none of the above.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
That is a fertilizer division if you look at the
NFC South. But if you put a gun to my head,
I would call the police and I would say the
New Orleans Saints with Derek Carr, because typically Derek Carr
is fined for like seven or eight games and then
he hits a wall and he falls in. There's like
a demon sinkhole that opens up and he falls into it.
(27:35):
But I can't go with Baker Mayfield. He's a hot mess. Tampa,
that's a disaster. Carolina is starting a rookie quarterback, and
Atlanta's starting somebody I've never heard of, So that is
an outhouse division.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Next, an unnamed NFL coordinator said that he believes Micah
Parsons will be the best edge rusher in the league
by next season. Oh, Ben, who do you think is
the best pass rusher in the league right now? Edge rusher?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Well, I think the usual suspect is that Joey Bosa
usually kills the rams as a guy on the on
the edge from time to time, Miles, Garrett, TJ. Watt,
those are like the big three guys on that list,
making impact plays and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
But Michaeh.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Parsons a good player, and more importantly, he is a
interesting cat the way that he deals with the media
and whatnot. So he's good for our show playing for
the Cowboys. He's young guy, he'll be around a long time,
and being part of the Cowboys means that you get
your tires pumped up a little bit more from the
Dallas media and all that. But the answer to her
(28:35):
question is Joey Bosa, TJ. Watt and Miles Garrett. There
it is mallardly third degree? How did we do Koopa Loop?
Then you pass this edition that is a winner. You
can put it on the bar.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yes, And we say hello to Paul in Rhode Island,
better known as Red Breast.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Paul, Hello, Paul, Hi Ben, how are you?
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I'm not as good as you know?
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Why I called tonight?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Why you want to be part of the mallor palooza?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
No, you know why I call.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
Tonight because these grunch uniforms were so disgusting that an
old man from Brookline, eighty seven year old man.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Okay, his name is.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Sashi Cats. He said, Polly, who's that playing?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Who's that? It's like, what the hell?
Speaker 8 (29:34):
What kind of grunch uniforms of this?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
This is not the first time in my area?
Speaker 8 (29:41):
You know?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah, all right, you're you're complaining. You're you're complaining about
the uniforms in the All Star Game. You didn't you
didn't like?
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Yeah, the poor guy, I don't know what. I don't
know what to tell him, Like he plays in my
area all the time, and I said, yeah, well that's.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
I mean, that's a tough one, Paul. I don't know
what it's upset about, you know, I mean, I don't care.
I didn't like them either, But what do you want.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Me to do with that Atlantic?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (30:07):
I mean it's the Atlantic, It's the Falcons.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
That's the Falcons. That's right.

Don't need to rub it in. But excellent choice in
the viola, clear over the air on her phone, which
is impressive. There. The tune was clearly identifiable. We were
all kind of rocking out to it in here. I'm
I'm with Coop nine nine solid, back to back dines.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Now we go to the musician, Jay Scoop. Now she
did suck up to you a little bit because she
mentioned the Pacific Northwest year old. It's not because you
don't know her, right, She's just I don't, I don't okay.
But first ye, First off, hey Pam, alright, you're going.

heartwarming solid nine nine.

wasn't about our show, but it was you hear that song.
I love baseball.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
You hear that song. And she did it wonderfully. We
could hear everything. She nailed it nine point five point five.
Not Pam, you got a nine point five, Pam.

Speaker 9 (35:05):
This is gonna be do it absolutely yeah. So, as
you guys know, I am going to be doing the
Malard Militia oaths in all burns. To be completely honest,
Coop did just send me the oath about ten bits ago,
so I've only had I honestly, I only burped it
out once, and I thought I was gonna pass out
because I usually don't stay this much at once.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I understand, and I understand that. Would you like me
to read the oath so people know what they're about
to hear? Would that help or no?
Speaker 7 (35:33):
No?
Speaker 9 (35:33):
If anything, I'd prefer them to not hear it so
they can just all right, fair enough you'll be able
to hear it. So all, okay, I start up, all right,
here we go.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 9 (35:45):
And also sorry, I do have to segue or real
quick say as well. In between I am gonna have

So if you hear me waiting, don't I understand.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
We don't need to know how you make the hot dogs.
It's all right, we'll edit in post production. We'll edit
it all together. No one will even know.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Here we go, all right, all.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Sorry, one.
Speaker 9 (36:17):
Burnt out the body, the bud.
Speaker 5 (36:29):

Speaker 5 (37:26):
My Yeah, the first ever valor militia all verbs.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
You give us five minutes, we'll give you fifty five burps.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Unbelievable. My god, you need a chair. You alive? Wow?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Okay, that's out. Said it to the judges. Scorecards, Eddie,
how did you score them? He's still Eddie, he's still
gonna stop.
Speaker 11 (38:07):
I got I gotta be honest. I wasn't I know
you were over the moon over this bed. You were
very excited about that. Why I was not expecting this.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
To be very good? You're so uh? I was impressed.
Speaker 11 (38:22):
It sounded like he put his his He sounded like
he was putting his health on the line here to
entertain us, didn't It seemed like he was, uh, he
was kind of struggling, and that it was maybe even
was even hurting him a little bit to try.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
And do this.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Have you tried to burp for that long?
Speaker 6 (38:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (38:38):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 11 (38:39):
I have no idea struggle with influence me. Don't try
and influence. So all in all, I was very impressed.
Obviously it had to do with the show, uh somewhat
originally we've heard him burt before, but burping the the
mallor oath was it was was pretty damn impressive.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Good stuff, boy, I gotta do it. I gotta go.
I'm gonna give him a nine.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Oh and he did it first nine for Benny first night.
You got that first nine.
Speaker 12 (39:04):
From two inches today?
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Wow? That is wild? Okay, Cooper Loop, how'd you score
it here? Cool?
Speaker 5 (39:12):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (39:12):
I mean, like, like he said, we have heard this
act before, but not quite to this level. It's like
he is upping his game every year and it's gonna
be hard to top this.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
I was dying.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
It was hilarious. Is the talent on par with what
Pam has? Can you call that the same talent? I
don't know, but I'm gonna give it the same score?
Nine nine oh, back to back nine, Chris, you are
up next.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Chris is in here.
Speaker 12 (39:42):
This is everything sports talk radio about. It is about heart, compassion, determination, determination,
so much determination though to fight through adversity. He actually
said like he was dying there. That is something that's
like you got a hockey guy out there. He fights
ruptured lung. That man was fighting through his body to
(40:03):
get all those burps out. I even understood the oath
as he was saying it too, so it was clear
through the burps, heart, grit, fortitude, Jim Ratt, I'm I'm
Kobe with I'm Kobe of the duncanscous I'm giving this
guy a ten.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Oh my god, A ten.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
A ten.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
That is un That is the first ten that we
have gotten Jay School, Oh man, this is unreal.
Speaker 13 (40:32):
I mean, like they said, you know, we've heard, we've
heard his act before, and so I was like, what
is he gonna do?
Speaker 3 (40:38):
How can he top this?
Speaker 13 (40:40):
He's gonna do like mentos and diet coke, Like, what
what's he gonna do? And then he starts off and
he's not He's not doing it smooth. I'm like, oh,
this is gonna be bad. And it turned out that
was the best part. Like the cries of agony as
he's trying to survive his act, that was what.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Made it even better. I gotta go nine point five. Well,
he did send me a messages. I've never burped that
many times in one sitting.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
That hurt. He did confirm it hurt at the end.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
So I've made a lot of jokes over the years
about how stupid the Willis Reid game is. I've talked
about that, We've talked about the Michael Jordan flu game,
the Kobe food poisoning game, and all that. But this
is really on par and I would say better than
all of those things. The perseverance. Chris referenced the fact
for US men that do sports radio, every guy I've
(41:28):
ever met, there's that point in your life when you
realize you have the ability to burn, and that your
friends will love it and and women will be mostly
offended by some women like it, and when you can
master that skill. But at this level, I mean just
just unreal, just absolutely unreal.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
Eleven. I'm going eleven.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
I'm going eleven, zero through ten. I want to go eleven.
Speaker 11 (42:03):
He did give like a negative three earlier.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
I just counted that as a zero. No, that's just no.
On my Scorious Negative Kid, Chris Cracked Pots Hours radio show,
I can do whatever the hell I want. No, this
is integrity.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
There's no integrity. Well not when you I went I
went eleven, but you're you're knocking that down to ten. Fine, whatever,
I don't still good enough for the lead,

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Shoot me and our lead.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
We start with baseball. Were you watching the All Star
game from Seattle?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You were not?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
We'll find out. The people at baseball very excited. Everyone's
watching now because they made the game shorter. People fired
up for that. The mid Summer Classic box.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So American National League All Stars grappling right there on
the field. Somebody named Elias Diaz. We don't really know
who that is. We think he is a caper for
the Rockies. I could not pick him out. I don't
collect baseball cards anymore. Neither's anyone, well, the few people do.
But Elias Diaz of the Rockies did a pinch hit,
(02:32):
go ahead, two run homer in the eighth inning, and
the National League Stars edged the American League Stars three
to two. In the twenty three version of the Midsummer Classic.
We almost got a home run derby Craig Kimbrel almost
puked up the lead for the National League All Stars.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
But he was able to get out of it.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And if that game had entered in a tie, we
would have had a home run Derby. I was pulling
for a home run Derby. Why I was bored, That's
why I was pulling for a home run Derby to
decide the All Star Game. Now, some observations, some observations
on the All Star.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Game A little much, A little much.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
For example, you had Yondi Diaz. I'm told he plays
for the Tampa Bay Rays. He had a home run
in the second inning, but he actually rudely interrupted a
chit chat between the broadcasters of the All Star Game
and Corbin Carroll, who plays for the Diamondbacks. They were
having a chat about an each hero screensaver. I am
(03:39):
not kidding. By the way, I'm not making this up.
It sounds like, you, wait a minute, you're telling me
that in the All Star Game, they interrupted a conversation
between one of the players. A bunch of guys were
micd up throughout the game. We had one point, a
pitcher and a batter were both miked up at one
point in the game, and they were going around and I.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Don't I don't need all the bells and whistles. I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I guess you do. You need It's your fault. I'm
looking at you. You yes, I'm talking to you. To me,
it gets in the way. And understand Major League Baseball
wants all these gadgets and think of a jigs and
watch your MC college in the All Star Game to
enhance it. The uniforms, in one word, were terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible,
(04:24):
terrible terrible. Now I understand Nike is spending eaxzillion dollars
on the uniforms, and so they have to get some
some inventory. I think that inventory from that Nike made
for all those jerseys, I believe that will go to
a third world country somewhere. They'll be wearing All Star
jerseys and hats. Yeah, the All State You don't need it.
You're trying too hard. Just put the players in the
(04:46):
actual uniforms from their respective teams. I know, Oh, you're
being such a loser. Why would you say that? What
about these new jerseys? The kids love them? Okay, all right,
now for talk radio purposes, the All Star Game itself.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Not good talk radio.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But Rob Manford, or man Fraud, as we call him
on this show is supplying the content kitting and he's
filling it up, and we thank you for that. He gave,
for lack of a better term, the State of the
Union address of Major League Baseball prior to the All
Star Game, covering all of the basis, including a topic
(05:28):
that drove sports rade. If you're old, you might remember
back in the olden days, if a host had nothing
to say, they would say, should Pete Rose be on
the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
And they'd open up the phone lines.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And that's like late early nineties, mid nineties, late nineties,
early two thousands, right until steroids took that off the table,
and then it was what are you look at steroids
in baseball?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But Pete Rose was a huge topic of conversation and
the all time hit king banned from baseball for gambling
on baseball. And now you can't turn on a baseball
game without seeing a gambling commercial.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You cannot.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And I'm a gambler, I like gambling, but you cannot
watch a baseball game without some kind of gambling reference.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
So anyway, what happened?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Get to the point, please, So Rob Manford says he
has quote well, it's not exact quote, but he said
he had no intention of reversing Pete Rose's lifetime ban
from baseball. He said that the commercial endorsements that Baseball's
accepted from various gambling companies will have no impact on
(06:34):
the status of the all time hit King, Charlie Hustle
Pete Rose quote this actual quote. Pete Rose violated what
is sort of rule one in baseball, and the consequences
of that are clear in the rule, and we've continued
to abide by our own rules. Manford mumbled. Rose banned
way back in nineteen eighty nine. My god, that's a
(06:55):
long time ago, the all time hit King for betting
on baseball. As man of the Cincinnati Reds. He's applied
for reinstatement multiple times. He's been rejected every single time.
So let us discuss the question, what is your viewpoint
on Rob Manford stonewalling Pete Rose from.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
The Hall of Fame yet again.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So I've got Salad Bull, Baskin, Robbins, and Sandy and
we will get to all of these things, and we
are going to make an amazing night in the Malor Palooza,
which is right around the corner. So a Rob Manford's
response was predictable. That's the word I'm gonna go with, predictable,
(07:37):
because this is a guy that started working. Iet't understand
the timeline. It's a dead giveaway. Rob Manford started working
from Major League Baseball as an outside lawyer in nineteen
eighty seven. Labor negotiator Rob Manford. He was working for
the Commissioner's office as a lawyer outside council when bart
(07:59):
g my suspended Pete Rose and then dropped dead shortly
after that, and it was whispered at the time it
continues to be whispered that Pete Rose will never be
allowed back in baseball as long as he is breathing.
When he kicks the bucket, then they'll let him, but
(08:22):
not while he's alive. And those around the game at
the time blame, whether true or not, blame the stress
from the Pete Rose story for causing bart Giamanni's departure
from this mortal coil. Now, keep in mind, Jimmani had
poor health. He was not in the greatest shape, and
so you could make the argument that those things also
(08:43):
led to his demise. But that doesn't matter, because once
the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend,
so we cannot help but enjoy the salad bowl. And
we don't like salad, but this one is a it's
a salad bull. It's an irony salad is what it is.
Because you've got this paradox of Rob Manford saying that
(09:05):
Major League Baseball will quote abide by their own rules
when it comes to Pete Rose gambling. At the same time,
Major League Baseball, with Rob Manford as the watchdog, allowed
the twenty seventeen Astros to cheat to win the World Series.
Those players went unpunished and in fact were rewarded with
(09:29):
a championship and protection from Major League Baseball. More vindication
for us, more validation that Rob Manford is a varmit.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Now, moving on from.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That, Major League Baseball confirming over the All Star Break
that Oakland has already started the relocation process. They filed
the paperwork, all the red tape to relocate to Lost Wages, Nevada,
to screw over all the tourists that want to go
to Vegas and not have to pay fifty bucks to
park their car, because they're going to build a ballpark
where Bally's is right in the middle the strip totally
(10:01):
sticking it to all the people that visit Vegas for
a crap baseball team. But that's a different conversation. So
Manford intimated that once the A's moved to Vegas officially,
which won't happen for a couple of years, in the
Rays get a new ballpark, either in Florida or somewhere else,
they will then pivot and they will add not one,
(10:23):
but two. We can't add just one, get a two
expansion franchises. So is expansion in baseball excellent or abysmal?
So it is none of those things. It is Baskin Robbins.
It's plain vanilla, is what it is.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It's a money grab. Oh it's always a money grab.
You gotta split the ply up. But the initial checks
that come from whoever buys in each franchise will be
at least four billion dollars for the So you're talking
about eight billion dollars of new money that gets spread
around to the other teams, and they can get taxpayer
money from some hack politicians. But with the A's in
Vegas and the Rays either in Florida, what I've heard
(11:04):
is either going to stay in the Tampa, Saint Pete
area and somewhere in Florida or Nashville has been kicked
around as a possibility for the Rays that they would
end up in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
But after that, what's left?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
So you check Vegas, you check that box, you check Nashville,
so you look around. The other possibilities for expansion are Montreal, Oh, coda?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
How about Vancouver? Do Vancouver? Also?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Last I checked in Canada? Mexico City. The problem is
the peso versus the dollar and how much Baseball would
want to charge for tickets. That would be a problem.
Some other possibilities. To toss out Charlotte as a possibility,
the Carolinas have not had a.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Major league team. You can go San Antonio.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Why not San Antonio, New Orleans, Portland, Oregon? Places like that.
There are no obvious locations though. Now is it true
that Major League Baseball will be moving the All Star
Game back to Atlanta? That also popped up, and Rob
Manford confirmed that Atlanta is under consideration for the twenty
twenty five All Star Game. And why is that a
(12:12):
big thing? Because it is a white flag situation from
Baseball that they fed it up, They screwed up. Rob
Manford admitting, Hey, we are royal idiots at Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
We are dumb dums.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
The fact that they're even considering Atlanta is a admission.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
It is confirmation.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It is a guilty plea by Major League Baseball that
they should not have taken the twenty twenty one All
Star Game out of Georgia. There was that outcry over
the voting laws, which was absurd at the time. It's
still absurd, and now Baseball's like, you know what, you're right,
we're gonna we're thinking about twenty twenty five put in
the All Star Game back in Atlanta after they moved
it to Colorado in twenty twenty one. All right, last
(12:56):
word here, So Major League Baseball wants the pitch claw
in the playoffs playoffs, but the players say they need
more time in October. We need more time, That's what
they're saying there. So union boss Tony Clark upset. He
raised some concerns. Now, we had talked about this in
any previous episode of the show. Tony Clark raised some
(13:18):
concerns here from the All Star Game in Seattle, will
Major League Baseball will they embargo the pitch clock for
the playoffs much like the ghost runner thing, which they've had,
but they don't do it in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
They just do it during the regular season.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
So I am shaking my head no on this that
they will not. There is zero chance, zero chance that
they will take a hammer to the stopwatch. In baseball.
It is a sandy situation. There is compromise. They can
shake hands and say, Okay, you know what we're gonna do.
(13:54):
We're not gonna get rid of the clock. There's zero
chance of that, but will add some more sand to
the hour glass, say five to ten seconds on every situation.
Right now that the pitch clock is relatively short, so
they add five to ten seconds for the playoffs. That
average is three hundred combined. There's three hundred combined pitches
(14:19):
in an average baseball game, one hundred and fifty hundred
and fifty for each team. So you do the math
on that. If you add an extra five seconds to
the clock in each situation, you get an extra twenty
five minutes, an extra half hour, which would mean you've
(14:39):
just put back the time that left. You see what
I'm saying, Like the baseball gets are twenty six minutes
shorter if you add five seconds to the clock in
each situation, it then becomes a case where you added
twenty five minutes, so you've then lost one minute off
the speed of the game. It is the and plus
there's more commercials on television to the pluffs.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Adjacent as you put our toes in the sand, coast
to coast, border, the border and beyond on the mast
and forcefully powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from the
bump things that go bumpiny bump in the middle of
the night, like people playing the nose trumpet. The Malard

Palooza continues. We get to those acts in a little bit.
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot Com studios

It's a lot recommended installers. Tireract dot com. The way
tire buying chew.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Me.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And if you were with us last hour, you heard
our friend Matt from Nashville. He did the nose trumpet.
That was our opening act in malleplus who have much
much more of that, many more acts here this hour,
but a good opening to the talent show. But our
lead this hour actually I have to talk sports so
we don't get in trouble with boss. The boss gets upset,
so they'll be they'll be a sleep soon. So our
(16:28):
lead this hour coming from the NBA Pro Bouncy Ball
Talk in July, and we start in Dallas, where Mark
Cuban has loose lips. Now, if you didn't hear what
he said, possibly not. The mav rec owner Mark Cuban
did an interview with state sponsored NBA Radio and he
explained why he is a believer in Kyrie Irving. Even
(16:53):
though Kyrie went to Dallas and the Mavericks literally pooped
at mid court with Kyrie on the team, didn't even
make the Plouffs, tried not to make the playoffs, didn't
want to be in the playing tournament, eve though Miami
was in the playing tournament, got to the NBA Finals.
Dallas has such a losing mentality there. That's mavrack culture.
That they didn't even want that, they didn't want the
shot at going on a run in the playing tournament,
(17:14):
and they tanked at the end and got caught tanking. Anyway,
get to the point, please, So Mark Cuban, appearing on
this state sponsored NBA radio says it's going to be different.
He explained why he believes that Kyrie Irving is a
good person and is just quote misunderstood by many people.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I think Kyrie is just misunderstood, Cuban opined. Everyone sees
all the noise and everything around him, but when you
actually talk to him, I like him. He's open, he's smart,
he's always looking to learn things. To me, he's an
interesting guy. That's just misunderstood. Close quote. So let us
discuss the question here, all right, Why is Mark Cuban
(17:56):
defending Kyrie Irving's nonsense? It's not just his basketball, defending
the basketball part of it, but the other stuff. To me,
that sounded like a full defense of the entire Kyrie experience.
So I've got Sister Sledge, Empty Calories, and comic book
Super Villain, and we will combine all of these things together.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
And we are going to make.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
An amazing night in the Mallard Palooza, which this night
is different than all other nights. So number one, Mark
Cuban has to protect his investment. I get that part
of it. The MAVs absolutely bungled this situation. Can we
all agree on that? Everyone nod your head yet?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
All right?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
So they traded a bunch of goodies, if you will,
random draft picks players to get Uncle Drew from Brooklyn,
and they then boxed themselves into a corner. Because of
Kyrie's contractual obligations and his free agency, they had to
keep the player. They had to keep the player. So
no matter how big a whack a doodle Kyrie is,
(19:03):
and by NBA standards, he's pretty high up on the
wack of doodle scoreboard, the Mavericks had to keep him.
So Mark Cuban cut the big cartoon size check three years,
one hundred and twenty six million dead presidents. And now
now he's singing a Sister Sledge classic, we Are Family Late,
(19:23):
We Are Family, and smoking the peace pipe. He's also
doing some gas lighting here, and we talk about gas lighting.
It's psychological manipulation. It's a form of psychological manipulation when
you try to confuse right. Misunderstood is a buzzword, planting
the seed of doubt. Like maybe everything you've come to
(19:46):
know about Kyrie and all the things that he's promoted.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Just misunderstand. It's the media.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You know, he's the guy keeping away, He's the guy
that sends stuff out on so media. It's not like
his account. He has caused friction everywhere he has been
on and off the court. Cleveland didn't want to play
with Lebron anymore, wanted to leave. Cleveland went to Boston,
didn't like Boston, said he wanted to play. He wanted
to initially actually liked Boston, and then he didn't want it.
(20:19):
Went to Brooklyn, talked about how you want to play there.
He was a fan of the Nets as a kid
and all that crap, and then that was at Loggerheads
with Durant by the time he got done in Brooklyn.
And the one common denominator in all of these situations
is Kiray Irly, It's gonna happen in Big d Kyrie
(20:40):
also agreed to a new shoe deal with a sneaker
company from communist China, So remember that next time he
attacks America and things that are going on in the
culture in America.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Kyrie is now fully in bed with China.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
So all right now page two here Zion Williamson, the
big tabagoo from the Bible You. Zion Williamson has popped
back up on our radar and during an appearance on
the Gilbert Arenas podcast Everyone's Got a Podcast, Zion admitted
the difficulties of maintaining a diet, having problems with his dad.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
He said, there are times where I will say, man,
that blanks word is hard. It's hard, man.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
He talked about twenty twenty two, it's a lot of money,
and he went on and on talked about how hard
is Did Zion Williamson win votes with his talk about
dieting being hard? Did that resonate with the electorate.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I'm gonna go now. I'm gonna go now because unlike
Joe Blow or your favorite gas bag, that would be me.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Well maybe I'm not your favorite gas bag, but I
have had the battle of the bulge my entire life,
right and to me this rant by Zion. He also
said he was gonna copy Lebron James training blueprint. Doesn't
Lebron spend like a million dollars a year on training
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You like to talk about that good luck, good luck.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
This is chips, fries, donuts, ice cream. It's empty calories.
There's no substance to it. And I think most people
most I've had friends that could eat an entire cow
and they wouldn't gain a pound. But for most of us,
men and women, we eat, we get fat and it
(22:34):
becomes a problem. And the older you get, the worst
it gets, and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
But here's the difference.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like, my job is to come here and bark like
a dog or howl like a wolf at the moon
in the middle of the night, and you don't necessarily
have to be in shape. But you know, if I'm
an athlete, you're you're no different than a prostitute. You're
selling your body. Prostitutes sell their body, athletes sell their
but that is your product. And so Zion Williamson is
(23:04):
selling his athletic talents on the court, and so that's
his job, and they paid him the max. I'm upset
with Zion because I pull for the fat athlete. There
is fit fat. We have had fit fat athletes over
the years. He's not fit fat.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
He's not. He's not.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I need fitfat. I need zion to be fit fat.
He's not fit fat, he's not. He's six to six,
he's listed at two eighty four. He looks over three
hundred pounds to me. And he's been a spectator. He
was limited to twenty nine games last season, twenty nine.
He missed the entire twenty twenty one to twenty two
season while recovering from foot surgery. And he has practiced
(23:42):
load management. And I could make a joke not only
on the court, but off it shout out OnlyFans. But
that's a different conversation. All right, final point, We are
told that James Harden has reiterated as we go to Philadelphia,
he has reiterated that the seventy six ers must get
rid of him. He does not want to play there anymore,
even though he opted in for thirty five point six million.
(24:04):
He has told his buddy Darryl Morey, who he's chumming with,
that I would like to get out of the Delaware Valley.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I don't want to be there anymore, even though he
opted in.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
How are James Harden's trade demands going for the Sixers?
How's this going so Harden at this point is like
a comic book super villain. Okay, he's mister Freeze as
in Chirogenic's Gone Bad. He's frozen in Philadelphia, even though
(24:33):
it's the summertime. He's in a holding pattern. He's gonna
turn thirty four years old, which is not old in
the real world, but in sports it's old if you're
a basketball player. He's facing gloominess is what he's facing.
Nobody is gonna trade much for James Harden at this
particular point in time. That's a fact, Jack, and it's
a game of chicken. The seventy six ers trying to
(24:55):
get something for this guy. The rest of the league
is like, eh, you know, well, oh, you don't call us.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

Speaker 7 (25:59):
When asked by the media about the live Golf PGA situation,
Adam Silver said the idea of a sovereign wealth fund
purchasing an NBA team is not gonna happen on his
watch quote for the foreseeable future, Ben, do you think
a sovereign wealth fund could infiltrate some of our team sports?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
In fact, Adam Silver, he says, my majority owner. But
they call them governors because they're stupid. But it's already happened.
The sovereign wealth fund I believe has purchased five percent
of the parent company of the Washington Wizards and the
Washington Capitals, so that they've already started the process or process,
(26:39):
and all these teams.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Talk about, oh, we're not going to do this, We're
not gonna do that. Trust me.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
If the most money comes from the Saudi wealth, they
could buy every team. It's it's inevitable, it's going to happen.
If they want it to happen, they'll buy the NFL.
They can buy any team they want. They've got seven
hundred billion dollars to play with next.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
Last season and the NFC South was the worst division
in the NFL as the Bucks made the playoffs with
a sub five hundred record. All four teams made changes
to their quarterback position in the offseason. Which team do
you think has the best shot of turning it around?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
All right? So the answer is none of the above.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
That is a fertilizer division if you look at the
NFC South. But if you put a gun to my head,
I would call the police and I would say the
New Orleans Saints with Derek Carr, because typically Derek Carr
is fined for like seven or eight games and then
he hits a wall and he falls in. There's like
a demon sinkhole that opens up and he falls into it.
(27:35):
But I can't go with Baker Mayfield. He's a hot mess. Tampa,
that's a disaster. Carolina is starting a rookie quarterback, and
Atlanta's starting somebody I've never heard of, So that is
an outhouse division.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Next, an unnamed NFL coordinator said that he believes Micah
Parsons will be the best edge rusher in the league
by next season. Oh, Ben, who do you think is
the best pass rusher in the league right now? Edge rusher?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Well, I think the usual suspect is that Joey Bosa
usually kills the rams as a guy on the on
the edge from time to time, Miles, Garrett, TJ. Watt,
those are like the big three guys on that list,
making impact plays and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
But Michaeh.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Parsons a good player, and more importantly, he is a
interesting cat the way that he deals with the media
and whatnot. So he's good for our show playing for
the Cowboys. He's young guy, he'll be around a long time,
and being part of the Cowboys means that you get
your tires pumped up a little bit more from the
Dallas media and all that. But the answer to her
(28:35):
question is Joey Bosa, TJ. Watt and Miles Garrett. There
it is mallardly third degree? How did we do Koopa Loop?
Then you pass this edition that is a winner. You
can put it on the bar.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yes, And we say hello to Paul in Rhode Island,
better known as Red Breast.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Paul, Hello, Paul, Hi Ben, how are you?
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I'm not as good as you know?
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Why I called tonight?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Why you want to be part of the mallor palooza?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
No, you know why I call.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
Tonight because these grunch uniforms were so disgusting that an
old man from Brookline, eighty seven year old man.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Okay, his name is.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Sashi Cats. He said, Polly, who's that playing?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Who's that? It's like, what the hell?
Speaker 8 (29:34):
What kind of grunch uniforms of this?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
This is not the first time in my area?
Speaker 8 (29:41):
You know?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah, all right, you're you're complaining. You're you're complaining about
the uniforms in the All Star Game. You didn't you
didn't like?
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Yeah, the poor guy, I don't know what. I don't
know what to tell him, Like he plays in my
area all the time, and I said, yeah, well that's.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
I mean, that's a tough one, Paul. I don't know
what it's upset about, you know, I mean, I don't care.
I didn't like them either, But what do you want.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Me to do with that Atlantic?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (30:07):
I mean it's the Atlantic, It's the Falcons.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
That's the Falcons. That's right.

I'm with Coop nine nine solid, back to back dines.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Now we go to the musician, Jay Scoop. Now she

Coop did just send me the oath about ten bits ago,
so I've only had I honestly, I only burped it

because I usually don't stay this much at once.
Speaker 1 (35:26):

Okay, I don't know if I can keep going.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
We believe in you.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
You can do it. We believe in your Boston Burper,
Boston Burper. You're listening to.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
My Yeah, the first ever valor militia all verbs.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
You give us five minutes, we'll give you fifty five burps.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Unbelievable. My god, you need a chair. You alive? Wow?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Okay, that's out. Said it to the judges. Scorecards, Eddie,
how did you score them? He's still Eddie, he's still
gonna stop.
Speaker 11 (38:07):
I got I gotta be honest. I wasn't I know
you were over the moon over this bed. You were
very excited about that. Why I was not expecting this.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
To be very good? You're so uh? I was impressed.
Speaker 11 (38:22):
It sounded like he put his his He sounded like
he was putting his health on the line here to
entertain us, didn't It seemed like he was, uh, he
was kind of struggling, and that it was maybe even
was even hurting him a little bit to try.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
And do this.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Have you tried to burp for that long?
Speaker 6 (38:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (38:38):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 11 (38:39):
I have no idea struggle with influence me. Don't try
and influence. So all in all, I was very impressed.
Obviously it had to do with the show, uh somewhat
originally we've heard him burt before, but burping the the
mallor oath was it was was pretty damn impressive.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Good stuff, boy, I gotta do it. I gotta go.
I'm gonna give him a nine.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Oh and he did it first nine for Benny first night.
You got that first nine.
Speaker 12 (39:04):
From two inches today?
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Wow? That is wild? Okay, Cooper Loop, how'd you score
it here? Cool?
Speaker 5 (39:12):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (39:12):
I mean, like, like he said, we have heard this
act before, but not quite to this level. It's like
he is upping his game every year and it's gonna
be hard to top this.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
I was dying.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
It was hilarious. Is the talent on par with what
Pam has? Can you call that the same talent? I
don't know, but I'm gonna give it the same score?
Nine nine oh, back to back nine, Chris, you are
up next.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Chris is in here.
Speaker 12 (39:42):
This is everything sports talk radio about. It is about heart, compassion, determination, determination,
so much determination though to fight through adversity. He actually
said like he was dying there. That is something that's
like you got a hockey guy out there. He fights
ruptured lung. That man was fighting through his body to
(40:03):
get all those burps out. I even understood the oath
as he was saying it too, so it was clear
through the burps, heart, grit, fortitude, Jim Ratt, I'm I'm
Kobe with I'm Kobe of the duncanscous I'm giving this
guy a ten.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Oh my god, A ten.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
A ten.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
That is un That is the first ten that we
have gotten Jay School, Oh man, this is unreal.
Speaker 13 (40:32):
I mean, like they said, you know, we've heard, we've
heard his act before, and so I was like, what
is he gonna do?
Speaker 3 (40:38):
How can he top this?
Speaker 13 (40:40):
He's gonna do like mentos and diet coke, Like, what
what's he gonna do? And then he starts off and
he's not He's not doing it smooth. I'm like, oh,
this is gonna be bad. And it turned out that
was the best part. Like the cries of agony as
he's trying to survive his act, that was what.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Made it even better. I gotta go nine point five. Well,
he did send me a messages. I've never burped that
many times in one sitting.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
That hurt. He did confirm it hurt at the end.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
So I've made a lot of jokes over the years
about how stupid the Willis Reid game is. I've talked
about that, We've talked about the Michael Jordan flu game,
the Kobe food poisoning game, and all that. But this
is really on par and I would say better than
all of those things. The perseverance. Chris referenced the fact
for US men that do sports radio, every guy I've
(41:28):
ever met, there's that point in your life when you
realize you have the ability to burn, and that your
friends will love it and and women will be mostly
offended by some women like it, and when you can
master that skill. But at this level, I mean just
just unreal, just absolutely unreal.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
Eleven. I'm going eleven.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
I'm going eleven, zero through ten. I want to go eleven.
Speaker 11 (42:03):
He did give like a negative three earlier.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
I just counted that as a zero. No, that's just no.
On my Scorious Negative Kid, Chris Cracked Pots Hours radio show,
I can do whatever the hell I want. No, this
is integrity.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
There's no integrity. Well not when you I went I
went eleven, but you're you're knocking that down to ten. Fine, whatever,
I don't still good enough for the lead,
