Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb Bar one hour one

It's piping hot by the time it gets to your
ear drums whenever you listen, whether it's in the morning
or the early afternoon or the late afternoon, but it's fresh.
(00:22):
It's like donuts. You every eat donuts when they come
right out of the donut making machine. There, Oh my god,
so good, and then if you wait, they're not quite
as good, but it's still good. Anyway. A reminder, not
only do we have this podcast for you to enjoy
all four hours, but we also have the fifth hour
podcast and I want you to take a listen to that.
And we have exclusive coverage. We've paid big money for
(00:44):
the rights to the Mallard Palooza postgame show. Nobody else
has this coverage. We'll go into great detail on what happened,
the good, the bad, and the ugly from the Mallard Palooza,
the great event that we do every year around the
All Star Break Major League Baseball. We'll tell you some
of the acts that really stood out to us and
go into great detail. That's the Malard Palooza postgame show
(01:08):
for twenty twenty three only available in the podcast format
on the Fifth Hour podcast, which should be available right now.
If it's not available right now, it'll be available shortly.
So how would you classify the dodge of talkson baseball
signing Jake Merisnik a cheating astro from twenty seventeen? Needless
(01:29):
to say, I am not pleased. I am not pleased. Also,
will the Red Sox listen to their closer ken Lee
Jansen and avoid a mid season liquidation sale? What message
was Corbyn Burns of Milwaukee sending to the brew crew
with his spicy hot commentary at the All Star Game.
We'll talk about all of that and much much more
(01:53):
as we kick the party off in our number one
bone Appetite Say it e'ate so well come in the
beginning of another edition of the Ben Malor Show. We
are in the air everywhere, eyeball the eyeball, as we
(02:18):
enjoy island days and sunny rays, unless, unless we don't
actually enjoy that coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the bass and satisfyingly powerful microphones of fsr
mminating live from the Brook, the babbling Brook of sports nook, oh,
(02:45):
something like that. Hope you're doing well. We're hanging into
hanging out with you all night long.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Here.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It is our Friday Fun Day as we close out
the week. We have lame jokes Big Ben's Lame Jokes
of the Week coming up later on, and these are
actual jokes sending by actual listeners. You'll likely be fast
asleep by the time that ends up happening if you're
listening live. If you're on the podcast, you can just
fast forward to that. But this seems like a joke
(03:11):
or a nightmare. Our lead this hour coming from Baseball. Now,
We're not gonna break down a game. We don't break
down regular season games. Very rarely does that happen, and
there's nothing to break down anyway. The ballparks were dark
on Thursday. Baseball's mid season hiatus is going to end
(03:31):
on Friday. Here games will return in our world. There
is a story that we wish we did not have
to talk about. Sometimes you have to talk about things
that are not good to talk about in the radio,
and this is one of those times. And I have
a heavy heart talking about this story. In fact, I'm
(03:52):
I'm tremendously disappointed that I need to talk about this,
but here we are. It's the story that's on the
transaction wire. The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a rather
stunning move, bombshell move, to shake up their roster just
(04:15):
before the August first trade deadline, which is less than
three weeks away. If you haven't heard yet, And boy,
I hate to be the bearer of this news because
this is bad news. You don't want to give bad
news out. This is a real torpedo to the heart.
We can report. We wish we didn't have to do this,
(04:37):
and we wouldn't be doing this, but here we are.
We can report that the Dodgers are signing veteran outfielder
Jake Morisnik to a major league contract. Now he was
with the Detroit Tigers organization. Now, why is this such
(04:58):
a tragic story? Why is this such a sad story?
You see, Jake Mrisnick not only a journeyman bad baseball player,
but also a member of the band of desk spots
known as the twenty seventeen cheating a stros That's right,
(05:21):
the Dodgers have gotten into business with a convicted varmint
from the team that cheated to take the World Series away.
From them. What are they thinking over there at Chavez Ravine?
What's wrong with them?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
All?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So let us discuss how would you classify The Dodgers
moved to add Jake Marisnik of the cheating a holes
to their roster. So I've got cooking with Roberto marshmallows
and congressional vote, and we will connect all of these
(05:59):
things together and we are gonna make a sucker punch,
which is what the Dodgers gave every one of their
true fans. This move is a slap in the face.
Andrew Friedman and the nerds over a Dodger stadium have
just kicked the real Dodger fans in the nuts, is
what they've done. This is not only a transaction, it
(06:22):
is atrocious. Seriously, what are you doing? What are you
doing over there? On what level is this a good news,
a good move. It doesn't pass the sniff test, it
doesn't pass the eyeball test, it doesn't pass any tests.
Jake Morisnik is not even a good baseball player. He's
a liability in the batter's box. How do I know that?
(06:42):
Because he sucks, That's all I know. He's just a
warm body who I guess will attempt to hit right
handed and he can play all over the outfield.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Whoa whoop?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Ded amdo? This shows you that factions of the Dodger brass,
they might as well go over to get see if
they have medicare over there and see if they get
a hearing aid because they're not listening. They are not
listening to the electorate. Now you could justify I wouldn't
justify it, but you could justify this kind of a
move if this is the missing link that puts you
(07:16):
over the top. This guy's roster spam. He's roster spam
is what this guy is bet in two thirty two
and that's this year. But he's got no real pop
and he's followed my friend who used to work on
the show Cooking with Roberto as a bus driver, except
Jake Marisnick is driving the struggle bus. And by the way,
(07:40):
Roberto did text me you'll be happy to know he
was enraged when this news came across that the Dodgers
had signed a cheating ass one one thousand and two,
one thousand holes, that they had signed one of these guys,
and the Dodger fan, you know what to do vigilante.
Booze that classic movie with Dave Chappelle, The Weed Movie,
(08:03):
Half Baked Back in the Day. Boo this man, boo
this man. Jake Morison boom boom every time he comes up.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Boom boom, boo boo.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I hope he strikes out every time. I hope when
Jake morrisnik plays it's nine on eight and the Dodgers
had the eight. All right, these big shots over there
with the Dodgers, they'll spin this well. He was heard
he missed the twenty seventeen postseason. My fat ass, it
doesn't matter. This cat and every one of those twenty
(08:38):
seventeen a holes forever branded because they were unpunished slimeballs.
And by the way, all right, by the way, you
know when he had a career best season while he
was listening to Bang bang on trash cans, blowing into whistles,
(08:58):
playing with buzzers. Hey, I'm check him for the buzzer
during the twenty seventeen postseason. And now the Dodgers, the
Dodgers have gotten in the bed with a scoundrel. What
are they thinking over there? My god, release him right now.
Cancel the transaction. It's not worth it. And I would
(09:22):
be so bummed out if the Dodger fans give this
guy a pass. I don't care. He's one of the
Dodger uniforms underneath the guys in a hole. He's a
cheating a hole all right. Now, second, we'll move away
from that. We are eighteen days away from the trade
deadline and one of the more interesting storylines in baseball
is out of Boston because the Red Sox are bad
(09:45):
and good. Say what now? Boston won eight of their
last nine before the All Star Break. They are currently
though in the sewer, the mire of the American League East.
They're looking up at the Tuckers, so the the Blue Jays,
the Orioles, the Rays, the Yankees, all of them. So
despite the fact that the Socks are riding in the caboose,
(10:10):
Boston is only two games back of a wild card spot,
making it a mystery if they will buy or sell
their players. Now closer ken Lee Jansen, a guy that
was on the twenty seventeen Dodgers and saw some balls
(10:30):
fly out of the ballpark for a team that was
cheating against him. Anyway, Kenley Jansen has entered into the
chat on this topic. Jansen does not think the Red
Sox are going to sell. He said, this is quite
the quote. You expect a player to say this about
their team. He said, he thinks Jansen the Socks have
a great team. They're in last place, but he thinks
(10:51):
they have a great team. Says they're just have to
keep playing good baseball. He said, I don't think it's
going to be a sale. So the question will the
Red Socks listen to Kenley Jansen and avoid a mid
season liquidation sale. So you can't see me, but I'm
shaking my head. No, the Socks are what's known as
(11:11):
a faux contender. There's a lot of faux contenders. The
reason there's a lot of faux contenders you have not
been able to separate the wheat from the shaft. And
the reason you have been able to do that is
because Baseball added that third wild card team a couple
of years ago. And the Socks are a faux contender
because they have a flawed roster. It's like a cheaply
(11:33):
made hot dog. There's a lot of filler. Got the
corn syr up, the starch, the meat byproducts, the preservatives
all in there. You've got a bunch of not bad.
They're not bad. They're serviceable players. It's a functional roster,
it's adequate, but it's not a championship roster. It's not
a real contender. It's a fringe wild card contender. Now
(11:55):
we predict that Boston will be grabbing some marshmallows, they'll
get some gram crack, some milk chocolate, and they'll be
roasting s'mores over an open bonfire. Repackaging former Dodger is
part of the twenty seventeen. Twenty seventeen team as well.
Justin Turner who's made a stopover at Finway, and Keike
Hernandez will likely be available, and hey, ken Lee Jansen
(12:19):
can be had for a song of dance. And you
want the often injured James Paxton, he can be yours,
big maple if the price is right. All right, final thought,
So let's go to Milwaukee. Speaking of trades, Corbyn Burns's
name has popped up. He says that he has heard
through the grapevine or the cheese vine, because it's Wisconsin,
(12:40):
that the Brewers will not unload any of their key
players in a selloff at the deadline. He said that
he's heard this is a great quote I've heard we're
actually trying to win baseball games. I don't think a
lot of people probably know that wasn't the best thing
to do last year, after the way the year finished
close quote free to the traded their closer. So what
(13:04):
message was Corbyn Burns sending here to the brew crew?
So this is a congressional vote, is what this is.
It is a public rebuke censuring the Brewer brass for
dumping Josh Hater to the pod squad in a salary
dump last year. And Burns here's the thing. He can
(13:24):
say whatever the hell he wants because he knows he's
on borrowed time in Milwaukee. Corbyn Burns knows that why
A he's good and B he's only got one more
year of arbitration left. So next season, twenty twenty four
is his last arbitration year. After that, in twenty twenty five,
Burns will be an unrestricted free agent, which means it'll
(13:47):
rain money. Barring Chiefs a Hollock going out and working
for the Brewers and robbing some banks to pay for
Corbyn Burns, he will be heading out of town. He
will not be eating soul food that meat loaf with
artes in Milwaukee after twenty twenty four and likely won't
(14:09):
even be part of the team after this year. They'll
likely trade him. That is all but a stone cold
gay wrong ty, a gay wrong tea. All right, is
the Ben Mahlor Show. You want to comment on anything
that we just said, anything that we should have said,
anything that we might say down the line. And there
is still time to vote, by the way, for the
Malord Palooza, limited amount of time. It's gonna close during
(14:31):
the live show. So if you haven't voted yet for
some reason and you want to vote, we have four
finalists you can help decide. It's still very close. There's
a little bit of separation. But if we get a
bunch of people voting here as we're doing the show
in real time, it can sway the vote at the
last minute and there might be a recount. If that happens,
(14:52):
He'll be outraged. People will be upset and raise holy
hell and yeah anyway eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox nine nine six six three sixty nine. Also on

the tirerac dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios, it's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Having a grand old time. I'm not gonna let the
Dodgers get me down. I'm not, No, I'm not. I
don't work for the team. They got a bunch of
boobs over there making moves. That's their problem. A my problem.
Boo the guy. That's it. I'll boom every time I
see him. Well, of course, unless i'm working. It's some
professional boob fan perspective.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Boom boom. So what Benn is saying is he will
literally never boo this man.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
That's not true. It is I will boom every time.
In fact, the Dodgers play the Mets this weekend, I'll
be watching.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
You'll be in the press box where you can't boom.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
No, I'll be watching. I'll be booting my house. I
don't care. I'll be sitting on my fat ass on
my couch, and I'll boo the guy every time I
see him. Boom. And when he's released, because he sucks,
I'll have a little party. I'll have cake. Maybe I'll
even bring you cake. It might happen. All right, you're
(17:39):
you're okay with that? Anthony and anaim says, the damn Geetie.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
A.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
True Shane from des Moines is spitting loogies at our
talent show. He says, the Talent Show has jumped the
shark shame. Listen, just just because you don't have talent
does not mean you have to poop all over the
people that do have talent. We have some tremendous people
here that that woman Pam in Seattle, what a talent
she is in ohioal amazing.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Yes, when was the Talent Show ever? Not like jump
the sharp.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No, no, we know to see the problem. It's just
like lame jokes, all right, You guys think this is
like an old school back when there was no Internet.
And like with lame jokes, people think it's like the
Tonight Show used to be where the great comedy was
back in the old days. Right now it's all over
the place, comedies spread out, but it's we're dealing with
the nocturtle audience. And I think most of the people
(18:36):
that write jokes are pretty funny, not all of them,
some of them are duds. But the Talent Show, it's
a variety show. I don't think anyone should ever do
stand up comedy on the Malla Plusa. But pretty much
every year, Coop, we've had somebody try stand up comedy, right,
I mean somebody's done some stand up comedy pretty much
every year. Music's pretty good. I like the nose trumpet
(18:57):
from our buddy in Nashville. I thought that was pretty funny.
The Boston Burper was great. I liked the march, the
Mallard March or whatever that was from a we were
all chanting. I love the rhythmic chanting. Jay Scooper I
said he was in here the other night. Yeah, that's right,
he says. Is it a coincidence that the situation with
the Dodgers happened right after you allowed San Francisco Hygante
(19:19):
gear into your studio asking for a friend. Well, the
reality is, Jay Scoop, that you hornswaggled us, you bamboozled us,
and you used skulduggery because Jay Scoop was wearing an
iconic spats with Shats renegade shirt when he walked into
the building and then he did the old switcheraroo and
he went over to the dark side and had that ugly,
(19:42):
ugly shirt. Yeah, justin in Cincinnati, says, did anyone hear
from Regina after last night? I've not. I think she's
probably alright, though I don't know. She was in a
very good mood, feeling no no pain. I don't believe
there was no pain there at all. Johnny Ray writes
(20:05):
INSS Yourope Me monologue gets a big fat af He
says the ass one one thousand and two one thousand
holes are my heroes for cheating to win a World series.
And he says Eddie Guerrero said it best. If you're
not cheating, you're not trying. Well, it's one thing to cheat.
When you get caught, you're supposed to get punished. That's
how modern Western society works. When you cheat, If you
(20:27):
get away with it, fine, But if you get caught
red handed by I don't know, somebody on the team
that blows the whistle and says, just like your players,
that say, hey, we're all cheating, and then for the
snake of a commissioner to not even end up punishing
any of the players. Come on, it's ridiculous, big Greg writes,
(20:47):
and he says, don't you fing dare use the fsu
chant for booing people? Yeah, I realized after I started
that that I was doing a hybrid of the FSU
slash Atlanta Raves chant. That was unintentional. That was unintentional.
It just kind of popped out there. That's that's what
happened there. It does take place. We'll take some calls.
(21:09):
It is a call in show as we hang out
with you all night long, all night long, and now
cashing a golden ticket from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. A
man who will absolutely hammer you if you get in
his way. Blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan, Hello, Blind, I'm.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Ben?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Thank you for the introduction there that that was the
most type I've gotten in a wild You're welcome that
Sam in there with that Sam?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
What's going on? Emmett?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
I'm back. You can tell there's a lot of drops
being played.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I'm in the house. But I'm sure he look at
I was patting himself on the back, a little humble
brag bio.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He never so the Talent Show, you know, to comment
on you know what that certain person twee didend of
the show. For me, when I'm listening to the Talent Show,
I think the bad acts are kind of amusing. I
mean that trumpet guy was trash, but it was hilarious.
Here the dude like, I don't even it's sound like
almost passed out on the air. Like it was. It
was a struggle for my guy Matt in Nashville. I
think that was entertaining exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Man, you get it. See this guy gets it because
you're part of the TikTok generation. These guys. Eddie's a boomer.
You know, these guys are boomers. They got boomer attitudes
and you see the comedic value. Right. There have been
shows like the variety shows over the years on television whatnot,
and the ones that get gonged off are usually the
ones that are the most memorable exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
And I mean it's it's a radio Do we actually
expect like good talents. I mean we got lucky with
like Jay Scoop and you know, Ohio Al and Pam
and the Boston Burper.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
But I don't forget We've had a lot of time.
We've had mister PC, we had our buddy in Richmond.
We have some very talented musicians that listen to the show.
A lot of those guys chose not to enter the
malor Palooza. This year, they've already done it. They moved
on to some other things, which is fine, what's that?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
But I said, let the new bloods get get a chance.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Like Pam.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I've not even heard her until then.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
She never called the show before. Out of nowhere, like
a comet in the night sky. Here comes Pam with
her viola. Who even knows what a viola is, but
she had it ready.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
To get She's doing great too, and quickly before he
and I don't know, you know, Eddie's standing by to
do the update. But I don't know if you saw
the other day at the Ulcar game, but Shotani man
he was saying how how much he loves Piatle, And
you know it doesn't look like obviously, I don't think
he's going to get traded to Seattle. I think it
said I think you'll need a free agent the end
(23:46):
of the year because I don't think Art Marine like
I saw, I'm stealing this guy's take, Ben Verlander. But
I don't think you can't.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Steal somebody else's take. We need original takes. We do
not re we do not do leftover.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
We don't do you think why would Art Moreno want
to have the credit of trading a talent like Sho Tani.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You know, no, I don't even I don't even think
it's that man. See that's my Take's a better take. Okay,
let me recycle my take. I facilitated this take. I
think it was last week. The main reason Artie Marino
will not trade show Halo Tani. I've been to the
Big A. I've wandered around the Big A, and I
would say, and I'm not exaggerating, seventy percent of the
major advertisers for the Angels this year are Japanese companies.
(24:29):
So if you get rid of Sho hal Tani, are
the all those spots, all those billboards in the stadium
paid for until you know, the end of the year.
Maybe they are. I don't know, but that's a lot
of advertising money from Japanese companies that you're taking for
Sho Heo Tani because they're showing the games in Japan
and they're getting huge ratings, and you're gonna trade that guy.
You're not gonna trade with the Mariners because that's in
(24:51):
the division, so that wouldn't happen.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
No, it's gonna have to be a free agency. That's
what I'm saying. That's part of it too.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, and how about it? But hold I say no.
Atani's also like he's like a politician at this point,
because I have not seen him trash any city when
he's been asked. Now, he did say nice things about Seattle,
he spent some time there and all. But he said
nice things about San Francisco too, and and he said
nice things about the Mookie Betts. So he's he's being
(25:16):
a politician. He's playing the game. All right, you want
to toss to Eddie? Would you like to toss to Eddie?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I got you the Ben Maler Show on Fox Sports
Radio from the Tirec dot Com studios coming up in
a couple of minutes. You'll get some more of these
amazing phone calls. But right now, here's a man. He
loves the Kidsburgh Steelers and is a big Justin Herbert supporter.
It's my guy, Eddie Darkya, the guy who jumped into
the fountain.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Eddie.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Take it away, my guys.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
And he needs a little work.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
He's a little work. That was closed threat. What are
you talking about? That was? He nailed it.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
He's no Marcel, oh man, He's no Marcell.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Wow. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Ben Maller on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever
you get your podcast.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
So I saw this story as like, could this possibly
interest Ben Maller in tennis?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Parents apparently not a game tennis?
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Well, it is a game, but it's not a popular game.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Least fat man's game. Tennis is not a fat man.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Well that is true. That is true, but then again,
you know, neither is the NBA. But anyway, apparently there's
a a spygate situation going on at Wimbledon. It appears
that the number one and number two seeds are on
a collision course for the men's title. We'll see Carlos
(27:05):
al Karez, a twenty year old Spaniard. He's the next
face of tennis apparently, and he's the number one seed.
Novak Djokovic the defending champ. I think he's looking for
like a sixth or seventh wimbled tile. He's the number
two seeds. They're both playing their semi final matches this morning.
But there was a report that Carlos al Karez's father
(27:25):
filmed Novak Djokovic's practice at Wimbledon.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
The Eye in the Sky.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah, his son didn't deny it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
That is use the old Patriot video guys that were
in Cincinnati, did he use that.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
It's possible, It's possible, but the son said, it's possible
that my dad may have may have filmed his practice,
but he said he wouldn't give him any kind of
advantage even if he had done so. He's a just
a fan of Nokovich, just a fan of Djokovic.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
There, Yeah, kid, that family astro fans by chance.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
I doubt it. They're from Spain, but you never know.
Speaker 1 (28:07):

(28:31):
the teas from earlier at ten spot. I guess we
have to say congratulations are in order to former San
Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. Why what did Philip Rivers do?
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Not one, not two, not three, not four?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Or doing it with so many guys? I think it's
women actually his wife, yes, Philip Rivers and his wife
who is a baby making machine. This woman unbelievable. A
very fertile couple, Tiffany, and they have announced that they
are expecting their tenth child. Trying to repopulate the planet.
(29:13):
One family right there. So how does this work? I
come from a family where I had two brothers and
we had my mom had a van to drive us around.
But like a regular van, is it possible for the
Rivers family to go out to like chuck E Cheese together?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
And how many can you fit in a in a
good sized van? These days.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I don't think you can fit ten. I think you'd
have to get a industrial sized van, one of the maybe.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
The short maybe the short bus.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Well, you know you don't have to go there. Why
what's that thing? Damn? Patrick was doing commercials for the sprinter,
the Mercedes Benz Sprint. Very nice. Would those fit ten people?
Speaker 6 (29:58):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah? Imagine how much it is if they go out
to dinner. And I've Rivers made hundreds of millions of dollars,
so he can afford it, he can have as many
kids as he wants. It's whatever. I'm just I want
to know how the dynamics work. I know we've got
some people listening that likely came from big families, but
that's that's nuts.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Man.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
The guy played seventeen years in the NFL, Philip Rivers,
so he made a gazillion dollars and he was a
high profile quarterback. You think that salary from coaching football
high school football in Alabama covers the food bill for
the for the family. Ah No, no, probably not right.
She's and it's not gonna stop, right. I mean, at
(30:37):
some point, the father, mother, nature, father time, whatever we
gonna say, will take over and you will not be
able to have any more kids. But I don't know
how old Tiffany Rivers is.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
I believe she's forty.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Okay, so she's right near the finish line. She's getting
close to the finish line. But she's probably got a
couple more years. With things like IVF and things like that,
actually could maybe pop another one or two kids out.
They got to get to eleven, don't they don't They
have to get to eleven?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Football football team.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, I'm gonna put it field, the whole team. Put
them out there.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Most of them are girls.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Though, for the record, what's wrong with that? Girls can
play football? What about not? Really? Not well? But he
was number seventeen. You think he's shooting for seventeen? No, No,
I don't know why not. He loves kids. Do all
the kids wear Bolo ties like he did back in
the day. You think they all want to die?
Speaker 5 (31:33):
I hope not.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Apparently.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Those Mercedes Sprinter vans, yeah, can hold up to fifteen passages.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
There you go, that's right, so many guys.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
It's kids.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
I'm just saying you could fit fifteen guys in there too.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And they're mostly girls.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
You said, Eddie, Yes, seven daughters and two sons.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
To pay for seven weddings.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Oh god, he's good for it.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
He's good for it.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Wow, all right, good luck, good luck to Philip Rivers.
That's Mazleto. Let's go to Andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome, what's.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Going on, Ben, It's good to be with you. Listen.
You started the show talking about the Dodgers and the
subtle possible moves that they could be making coming out
of the All Star break. Listen, I'm here to tell
you the Dodgers this is all smoking mirrors. Then okay,
they're going big game hunting into the show. Hey Otani, sweepstakes,
that's what this comes down to. At the end of
(32:33):
the day. They can give us a little subject fuge
talking about maybe a couple dollars a year and a
prospect there no, no, no, no, no no. They want to
spend the seven hundred to one billion dollars, as I said,
one billion dollars that it's going to take to bring
show Hey Otani a couple miles north up to la
and then put him on a team. He said it. Listen.
(32:55):
He wants to compete. He see, he's sick of losing.
So that that canceled Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I'ay listen, they don't need sho Hao Tani. They got
Jake Marisnik, a cheating a hole. Who's say they added
that's who they got, Jake Marisi.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Okay, mister Morisnik is not going to give them hundreds
of millions and possibly billions of dollars. It's billions with
a B and revenue that's going to be coming over
from Asia if you just just alone in terms of
the marketing. Okay, never mind a guy that's gonna be
a side young candidate and a home run champion and
quick quick side note then, because we have to touch
on Philip Rivers in his seven weddings, I want to
(33:29):
say a quick thing about that. But shoe Otani is
more durable than people give him credit for played one
hundred and fifty five games in one hundred and fifty
seven games the last two years, so people thinking that
he's kind of this brittle superstar. I e. Aaron Judge.
I hate to say it because Aaron Judge is a
KPE League guy, but he is injury prone. I don't
think Showa Aa Tany's going to break down, and I
think the Dodgers are going to be at the front
of the line to pay him again seven hundred million
(33:50):
to one billion.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yes, everyone breaks down. And there has never been in
the history of baseball one of those three hundred or
four hundred million dollar contracts that has worked out from
beginning to end. They all are failures, every one of them,
and even show Hail Tani will be a failure. Now.
The way I look at it, though, is if you
win one World Series, even though you're gonna suck at
(34:12):
the end of the contract, I'm okay with it. Like
Mookie Betts with the Dodgers. He's already won a World
Series of the Dodgers, hardest World Series of all time,
twenty twenty global pandemic, look it up. And so, okay,
he's gonna be a terrible player at the end of
his career. But that's fine. They already won one more.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Gotcha, Mookie Betts. I got to push back a little bit,
Bookie Betts. Okay, a Red Sox draft tam. I think
he's gonna be built to last. Lookten, we got to
have some of these guys like the Willie Mages of
old who had a little bit of your bilty.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Now, but even Willy May's at the end. People. They
tell terrible stories about when he played for the Mets
and how washed up he was at the end of
his career.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Indeed, you're nineteen twenty quickly because you mentioned Philip Rivers
in his ten child It might have to Philip Rivers
and the seven weddings he had to pay for. I
think Philip Rivers is going to be a textbook example, ladies. Okay,
it's about the marriage, not the wedding.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
You don't got to spend five hundred thousand dollars a
million dollars on a wedding, only a half to pay
divorce lawyers three or four years later. The Philip Revers
is gonna give us a prototype, right, You're gonna be
prouval with the wedding, okay, and really invest the sustainable
relationships instead. It pays off in the end. I'm looking
for you to lead the charge on this, Filip. I
know you can do it.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Thanks taking the call, Ben, Okay, life advice from andre
in the Commonwealth. I know that makes Anthony and Anaheim
a happy camper. So so happy time now for the
who am I game? And here we go. I am

Hello and welcome. It's our numb Bar one hour one
of the Ben Mallor Show podcast. We record this podcast overnight.
It's piping hot by the time it gets to your
ear drums whenever you listen, whether it's in the morning
or the early afternoon or the late afternoon, but it's fresh.
(00:22):
It's like donuts. You every eat donuts when they come
right out of the donut making machine. There, Oh my god,
so good, and then if you wait, they're not quite
as good, but it's still good. Anyway. A reminder, not
only do we have this podcast for you to enjoy
all four hours, but we also have the fifth hour
podcast and I want you to take a listen to that.
And we have exclusive coverage. We've paid big money for
(00:44):
the rights to the Mallard Palooza postgame show. Nobody else
has this coverage. We'll go into great detail on what happened,
the good, the bad, and the ugly from the Mallard Palooza,
the great event that we do every year around the
All Star Break Major League Baseball. We'll tell you some
of the acts that really stood out to us and
go into great detail. That's the Malard Palooza postgame show
(01:08):
for twenty twenty three only available in the podcast format
on the Fifth Hour podcast, which should be available right now.
If it's not available right now, it'll be available shortly.
So how would you classify the dodge of talkson baseball
signing Jake Merisnik a cheating astro from twenty seventeen? Needless
(01:29):
to say, I am not pleased. I am not pleased. Also,
will the Red Sox listen to their closer ken Lee
Jansen and avoid a mid season liquidation sale? What message
was Corbyn Burns of Milwaukee sending to the brew crew
with his spicy hot commentary at the All Star Game.
We'll talk about all of that and much much more
(01:53):
as we kick the party off in our number one
bone Appetite Say it e'ate so well come in the
beginning of another edition of the Ben Malor Show. We
are in the air everywhere, eyeball the eyeball, as we
(02:18):

actually enjoy that coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the bass and satisfyingly powerful microphones of fsr
mminating live from the Brook, the babbling Brook of sports nook, oh,
(02:45):
something like that. Hope you're doing well. We're hanging into
hanging out with you all night long.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Here.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It is our Friday Fun Day as we close out
the week. We have lame jokes Big Ben's Lame Jokes
of the Week coming up later on, and these are
actual jokes sending by actual listeners. You'll likely be fast
asleep by the time that ends up happening if you're
listening live. If you're on the podcast, you can just
fast forward to that. But this seems like a joke
(03:11):
or a nightmare. Our lead this hour coming from Baseball. Now,
We're not gonna break down a game. We don't break
down regular season games. Very rarely does that happen, and
there's nothing to break down anyway. The ballparks were dark
on Thursday. Baseball's mid season hiatus is going to end
(03:31):
on Friday. Here games will return in our world. There
is a story that we wish we did not have
to talk about. Sometimes you have to talk about things
that are not good to talk about in the radio,
and this is one of those times. And I have
a heavy heart talking about this story. In fact, I'm
(03:52):
I'm tremendously disappointed that I need to talk about this,
but here we are. It's the story that's on the
transaction wire. The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a rather
stunning move, bombshell move, to shake up their roster just
(04:15):
before the August first trade deadline, which is less than
three weeks away. If you haven't heard yet, And boy,
I hate to be the bearer of this news because
this is bad news. You don't want to give bad
news out. This is a real torpedo to the heart.
We can report. We wish we didn't have to do this,
(04:37):
and we wouldn't be doing this, but here we are.
We can report that the Dodgers are signing veteran outfielder
Jake Morisnik to a major league contract. Now he was
with the Detroit Tigers organization. Now, why is this such
(04:58):
a tragic story? Why is this such a sad story?
You see, Jake Mrisnick not only a journeyman bad baseball player,
but also a member of the band of desk spots
known as the twenty seventeen cheating a stros That's right,
(05:21):
the Dodgers have gotten into business with a convicted varmint
from the team that cheated to take the World Series away.
From them. What are they thinking over there at Chavez Ravine?
What's wrong with them?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
All?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So let us discuss how would you classify The Dodgers
moved to add Jake Marisnik of the cheating a holes
to their roster. So I've got cooking with Roberto marshmallows
and congressional vote, and we will connect all of these
(05:59):
things together and we are gonna make a sucker punch,
which is what the Dodgers gave every one of their
true fans. This move is a slap in the face.
Andrew Friedman and the nerds over a Dodger stadium have
just kicked the real Dodger fans in the nuts, is
what they've done. This is not only a transaction, it
(06:22):
is atrocious. Seriously, what are you doing? What are you
doing over there? On what level is this a good news,
a good move. It doesn't pass the sniff test, it
doesn't pass the eyeball test, it doesn't pass any tests.
Jake Morisnik is not even a good baseball player. He's
a liability in the batter's box. How do I know that?
(06:42):
Because he sucks, That's all I know. He's just a
warm body who I guess will attempt to hit right
handed and he can play all over the outfield.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Whoa whoop?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Ded amdo? This shows you that factions of the Dodger brass,
they might as well go over to get see if
they have medicare over there and see if they get
a hearing aid because they're not listening. They are not
listening to the electorate. Now you could justify I wouldn't
justify it, but you could justify this kind of a
move if this is the missing link that puts you
(07:16):
over the top. This guy's roster spam. He's roster spam
is what this guy is bet in two thirty two
and that's this year. But he's got no real pop
and he's followed my friend who used to work on
the show Cooking with Roberto as a bus driver, except
Jake Marisnick is driving the struggle bus. And by the way,
(07:40):
Roberto did text me you'll be happy to know he
was enraged when this news came across that the Dodgers
had signed a cheating ass one one thousand and two,
one thousand holes, that they had signed one of these guys,
and the Dodger fan, you know what to do vigilante.
Booze that classic movie with Dave Chappelle, The Weed Movie,
(08:03):
Half Baked Back in the Day. Boo this man, boo
this man. Jake Morison boom boom every time he comes up.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Boom boom, boo boo.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I hope he strikes out every time. I hope when
Jake morrisnik plays it's nine on eight and the Dodgers
had the eight. All right, these big shots over there
with the Dodgers, they'll spin this well. He was heard
he missed the twenty seventeen postseason. My fat ass, it
doesn't matter. This cat and every one of those twenty
(08:38):
seventeen a holes forever branded because they were unpunished slimeballs.
And by the way, all right, by the way, you
know when he had a career best season while he
was listening to Bang bang on trash cans, blowing into whistles,
(08:58):
playing with buzzers. Hey, I'm check him for the buzzer
during the twenty seventeen postseason. And now the Dodgers, the
Dodgers have gotten in the bed with a scoundrel. What
are they thinking over there? My god, release him right now.
Cancel the transaction. It's not worth it. And I would
(09:22):
be so bummed out if the Dodger fans give this
guy a pass. I don't care. He's one of the
Dodger uniforms underneath the guys in a hole. He's a
cheating a hole all right. Now, second, we'll move away
from that. We are eighteen days away from the trade
deadline and one of the more interesting storylines in baseball
is out of Boston because the Red Sox are bad
(09:45):
and good. Say what now? Boston won eight of their
last nine before the All Star Break. They are currently
though in the sewer, the mire of the American League East.
They're looking up at the Tuckers, so the the Blue Jays,
the Orioles, the Rays, the Yankees, all of them. So
despite the fact that the Socks are riding in the caboose,
(10:10):
Boston is only two games back of a wild card spot,
making it a mystery if they will buy or sell
their players. Now closer ken Lee Jansen, a guy that
was on the twenty seventeen Dodgers and saw some balls
(10:30):
fly out of the ballpark for a team that was
cheating against him. Anyway, Kenley Jansen has entered into the
chat on this topic. Jansen does not think the Red
Sox are going to sell. He said, this is quite
the quote. You expect a player to say this about
their team. He said, he thinks Jansen the Socks have
a great team. They're in last place, but he thinks
(10:51):
they have a great team. Says they're just have to
keep playing good baseball. He said, I don't think it's
going to be a sale. So the question will the
Red Socks listen to Kenley Jansen and avoid a mid
season liquidation sale. So you can't see me, but I'm
shaking my head. No, the Socks are what's known as
(11:11):
a faux contender. There's a lot of faux contenders. The
reason there's a lot of faux contenders you have not
been able to separate the wheat from the shaft. And
the reason you have been able to do that is
because Baseball added that third wild card team a couple
of years ago. And the Socks are a faux contender
because they have a flawed roster. It's like a cheaply
(11:33):
made hot dog. There's a lot of filler. Got the
corn syr up, the starch, the meat byproducts, the preservatives
all in there. You've got a bunch of not bad.
They're not bad. They're serviceable players. It's a functional roster,
it's adequate, but it's not a championship roster. It's not
a real contender. It's a fringe wild card contender. Now
(11:55):
we predict that Boston will be grabbing some marshmallows, they'll
get some gram crack, some milk chocolate, and they'll be
roasting s'mores over an open bonfire. Repackaging former Dodger is
part of the twenty seventeen. Twenty seventeen team as well.
Justin Turner who's made a stopover at Finway, and Keike
Hernandez will likely be available, and hey, ken Lee Jansen
(12:19):
can be had for a song of dance. And you
want the often injured James Paxton, he can be yours,
big maple if the price is right. All right, final thought,
So let's go to Milwaukee. Speaking of trades, Corbyn Burns's
name has popped up. He says that he has heard
through the grapevine or the cheese vine, because it's Wisconsin,
(12:40):
that the Brewers will not unload any of their key
players in a selloff at the deadline. He said that
he's heard this is a great quote I've heard we're
actually trying to win baseball games. I don't think a
lot of people probably know that wasn't the best thing
to do last year, after the way the year finished
close quote free to the traded their closer. So what
(13:04):
message was Corbyn Burns sending here to the brew crew?
So this is a congressional vote, is what this is.
It is a public rebuke censuring the Brewer brass for
dumping Josh Hater to the pod squad in a salary
dump last year. And Burns here's the thing. He can
(13:24):
say whatever the hell he wants because he knows he's
on borrowed time in Milwaukee. Corbyn Burns knows that why
A he's good and B he's only got one more
year of arbitration left. So next season, twenty twenty four
is his last arbitration year. After that, in twenty twenty five,
Burns will be an unrestricted free agent, which means it'll
(13:47):
rain money. Barring Chiefs a Hollock going out and working
for the Brewers and robbing some banks to pay for
Corbyn Burns, he will be heading out of town. He
will not be eating soul food that meat loaf with
artes in Milwaukee after twenty twenty four and likely won't
(14:09):
even be part of the team after this year. They'll
likely trade him. That is all but a stone cold
gay wrong ty, a gay wrong tea. All right, is
the Ben Mahlor Show. You want to comment on anything
that we just said, anything that we should have said,
anything that we might say down the line. And there
is still time to vote, by the way, for the
Malord Palooza, limited amount of time. It's gonna close during
(14:31):
the live show. So if you haven't voted yet for
some reason and you want to vote, we have four
finalists you can help decide. It's still very close. There's
a little bit of separation. But if we get a
bunch of people voting here as we're doing the show

the tirerac dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios, it's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Having a grand old time. I'm not gonna let the
Dodgers get me down. I'm not, No, I'm not. I
don't work for the team. They got a bunch of
boobs over there making moves. That's their problem. A my problem.
Boo the guy. That's it. I'll boom every time I
see him. Well, of course, unless i'm working. It's some
professional boob fan perspective.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Boom boom. So what Benn is saying is he will
literally never boo this man.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
That's not true. It is I will boom every time.
In fact, the Dodgers play the Mets this weekend, I'll
be watching.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
You'll be in the press box where you can't boom.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
No, I'll be watching. I'll be booting my house. I
don't care. I'll be sitting on my fat ass on
my couch, and I'll boo the guy every time I
see him. Boom. And when he's released, because he sucks,
I'll have a little party. I'll have cake. Maybe I'll
even bring you cake. It might happen. All right, you're
(17:39):
you're okay with that? Anthony and anaim says, the damn Geetie.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
A.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
True Shane from des Moines is spitting loogies at our
talent show. He says, the Talent Show has jumped the
shark shame. Listen, just just because you don't have talent
does not mean you have to poop all over the
people that do have talent. We have some tremendous people
here that that woman Pam in Seattle, what a talent
she is in ohioal amazing.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Yes, when was the Talent Show ever? Not like jump
the sharp.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No, no, we know to see the problem. It's just
like lame jokes, all right, You guys think this is
like an old school back when there was no Internet.
And like with lame jokes, people think it's like the
Tonight Show used to be where the great comedy was
back in the old days. Right now it's all over
the place, comedies spread out, but it's we're dealing with
the nocturtle audience. And I think most of the people
(18:36):
that write jokes are pretty funny, not all of them,
some of them are duds. But the Talent Show, it's
a variety show. I don't think anyone should ever do
stand up comedy on the Malla Plusa. But pretty much
every year, Coop, we've had somebody try stand up comedy, right,
I mean somebody's done some stand up comedy pretty much
every year. Music's pretty good. I like the nose trumpet
(18:57):
from our buddy in Nashville. I thought that was pretty funny.
The Boston Burper was great. I liked the march, the
Mallard March or whatever that was from a we were
all chanting. I love the rhythmic chanting. Jay Scooper I
said he was in here the other night. Yeah, that's right,
he says. Is it a coincidence that the situation with
the Dodgers happened right after you allowed San Francisco Hygante
(19:19):
gear into your studio asking for a friend. Well, the
reality is, Jay Scoop, that you hornswaggled us, you bamboozled us,
and you used skulduggery because Jay Scoop was wearing an
iconic spats with Shats renegade shirt when he walked into
the building and then he did the old switcheraroo and
he went over to the dark side and had that ugly,
(19:42):
ugly shirt. Yeah, justin in Cincinnati, says, did anyone hear
from Regina after last night? I've not. I think she's
probably alright, though I don't know. She was in a
very good mood, feeling no no pain. I don't believe
there was no pain there at all. Johnny Ray writes
(20:05):
INSS Yourope Me monologue gets a big fat af He
says the ass one one thousand and two one thousand
holes are my heroes for cheating to win a World series.
And he says Eddie Guerrero said it best. If you're
not cheating, you're not trying. Well, it's one thing to cheat.
When you get caught, you're supposed to get punished. That's
how modern Western society works. When you cheat, If you
(20:27):
get away with it, fine, But if you get caught
red handed by I don't know, somebody on the team
that blows the whistle and says, just like your players,
that say, hey, we're all cheating, and then for the
snake of a commissioner to not even end up punishing
any of the players. Come on, it's ridiculous, big Greg writes,
(20:47):
and he says, don't you fing dare use the fsu
chant for booing people? Yeah, I realized after I started
that that I was doing a hybrid of the FSU
slash Atlanta Raves chant. That was unintentional. That was unintentional.
It just kind of popped out there. That's that's what
happened there. It does take place. We'll take some calls.
(21:09):
It is a call in show as we hang out
with you all night long, all night long, and now
cashing a golden ticket from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. A
man who will absolutely hammer you if you get in
his way. Blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan, Hello, Blind, I'm.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Ben?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Thank you for the introduction there that that was the
most type I've gotten in a wild You're welcome that
Sam in there with that Sam?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
What's going on? Emmett?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
I'm back. You can tell there's a lot of drops
being played.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I'm in the house. But I'm sure he look at
I was patting himself on the back, a little humble
brag bio.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He never so the Talent Show, you know, to comment
on you know what that certain person twee didend of
the show. For me, when I'm listening to the Talent Show,
I think the bad acts are kind of amusing. I
mean that trumpet guy was trash, but it was hilarious.
Here the dude like, I don't even it's sound like
almost passed out on the air. Like it was. It
was a struggle for my guy Matt in Nashville. I
think that was entertaining exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Man, you get it. See this guy gets it because
you're part of the TikTok generation. These guys. Eddie's a boomer.
You know, these guys are boomers. They got boomer attitudes
and you see the comedic value. Right. There have been
shows like the variety shows over the years on television whatnot,
and the ones that get gonged off are usually the
ones that are the most memorable exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
And I mean it's it's a radio Do we actually
expect like good talents. I mean we got lucky with
like Jay Scoop and you know, Ohio Al and Pam
and the Boston Burper.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
But I don't forget We've had a lot of time.
We've had mister PC, we had our buddy in Richmond.
We have some very talented musicians that listen to the show.
A lot of those guys chose not to enter the
malor Palooza. This year, they've already done it. They moved
on to some other things, which is fine, what's that?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
But I said, let the new bloods get get a chance.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Like Pam.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I've not even heard her until then.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
She never called the show before. Out of nowhere, like
a comet in the night sky. Here comes Pam with
her viola. Who even knows what a viola is, but
she had it ready.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
To get She's doing great too, and quickly before he
and I don't know, you know, Eddie's standing by to
do the update. But I don't know if you saw
the other day at the Ulcar game, but Shotani man
he was saying how how much he loves Piatle, And
you know it doesn't look like obviously, I don't think
he's going to get traded to Seattle. I think it
said I think you'll need a free agent the end
(23:46):
of the year because I don't think Art Marine like
I saw, I'm stealing this guy's take, Ben Verlander. But
I don't think you can't.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Steal somebody else's take. We need original takes. We do
not re we do not do leftover.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
We don't do you think why would Art Moreno want
to have the credit of trading a talent like Sho Tani.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You know, no, I don't even I don't even think
it's that man. See that's my Take's a better take. Okay,
let me recycle my take. I facilitated this take. I
think it was last week. The main reason Artie Marino
will not trade show Halo Tani. I've been to the
Big A. I've wandered around the Big A, and I
would say, and I'm not exaggerating, seventy percent of the
major advertisers for the Angels this year are Japanese companies.
(24:29):
So if you get rid of Sho hal Tani, are
the all those spots, all those billboards in the stadium
paid for until you know, the end of the year.
Maybe they are. I don't know, but that's a lot
of advertising money from Japanese companies that you're taking for
Sho Heo Tani because they're showing the games in Japan
and they're getting huge ratings, and you're gonna trade that guy.
You're not gonna trade with the Mariners because that's in
(24:51):
the division, so that wouldn't happen.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
No, it's gonna have to be a free agency. That's
what I'm saying. That's part of it too.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, and how about it? But hold I say no.
Atani's also like he's like a politician at this point,
because I have not seen him trash any city when
he's been asked. Now, he did say nice things about Seattle,
he spent some time there and all. But he said
nice things about San Francisco too, and and he said
nice things about the Mookie Betts. So he's he's being
(25:16):
a politician. He's playing the game. All right, you want
to toss to Eddie? Would you like to toss to Eddie?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I got you the Ben Maler Show on Fox Sports
Radio from the Tirec dot Com studios coming up in
a couple of minutes. You'll get some more of these
amazing phone calls. But right now, here's a man. He
loves the Kidsburgh Steelers and is a big Justin Herbert supporter.
It's my guy, Eddie Darkya, the guy who jumped into
the fountain.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Eddie.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Take it away, my guys.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
And he needs a little work.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
He's a little work. That was closed threat. What are
you talking about? That was? He nailed it.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
He's no Marcel, oh man, He's no Marcell.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Wow. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Hey, it's Ben, host of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller.
Would mean a lot to have you join us on
our weekly auditory journey. You're asking what in God's name
is the Fifth Hour? I'll tell you it's a spin
off of it. Ben Maler Show, a cult hit overnights
on FSR. Why should you listen? Picture if you will
a world will We chat with captains of industry in media,

(26:23):
human nature and more. Listen to The Fifth Hour with
Ben Maller on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever
you get your podcast.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
So I saw this story as like, could this possibly
interest Ben Maller in tennis?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Parents apparently not a game tennis?
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Well, it is a game, but it's not a popular game.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Least fat man's game. Tennis is not a fat man.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Well that is true. That is true, but then again,
you know, neither is the NBA. But anyway, apparently there's
a a spygate situation going on at Wimbledon. It appears
that the number one and number two seeds are on
a collision course for the men's title. We'll see Carlos
(27:05):
al Karez, a twenty year old Spaniard. He's the next
face of tennis apparently, and he's the number one seed.
Novak Djokovic the defending champ. I think he's looking for
like a sixth or seventh wimbled tile. He's the number
two seeds. They're both playing their semi final matches this morning.
But there was a report that Carlos al Karez's father
(27:25):
filmed Novak Djokovic's practice at Wimbledon.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
The Eye in the Sky.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah, his son didn't deny it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
That is use the old Patriot video guys that were
in Cincinnati, did he use that.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
It's possible, It's possible, but the son said, it's possible
that my dad may have may have filmed his practice,
but he said he wouldn't give him any kind of
advantage even if he had done so. He's a just
a fan of Nokovich, just a fan of Djokovic.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
There, Yeah, kid, that family astro fans by chance.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
I doubt it. They're from Spain, but you never know.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I guess. Okay, all right, exciting it is the Ben

(28:31):
the teas from earlier at ten spot. I guess we
have to say congratulations are in order to former San
Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. Why what did Philip Rivers do?
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Not one, not two, not three, not four?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Or doing it with so many guys? I think it's
women actually his wife, yes, Philip Rivers and his wife
who is a baby making machine. This woman unbelievable. A
very fertile couple, Tiffany, and they have announced that they
are expecting their tenth child. Trying to repopulate the planet.
(29:13):
One family right there. So how does this work? I
come from a family where I had two brothers and
we had my mom had a van to drive us around.
But like a regular van, is it possible for the
Rivers family to go out to like chuck E Cheese together?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
And how many can you fit in a in a
good sized van? These days.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I don't think you can fit ten. I think you'd
have to get a industrial sized van, one of the maybe.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
The short maybe the short bus.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Well, you know you don't have to go there. Why
what's that thing? Damn? Patrick was doing commercials for the sprinter,
the Mercedes Benz Sprint. Very nice. Would those fit ten people?
Speaker 6 (29:58):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah? Imagine how much it is if they go out
to dinner. And I've Rivers made hundreds of millions of dollars,
so he can afford it, he can have as many
kids as he wants. It's whatever. I'm just I want
to know how the dynamics work. I know we've got
some people listening that likely came from big families, but
that's that's nuts.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Man.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
The guy played seventeen years in the NFL, Philip Rivers,
so he made a gazillion dollars and he was a
high profile quarterback. You think that salary from coaching football
high school football in Alabama covers the food bill for
the for the family. Ah No, no, probably not right.
She's and it's not gonna stop, right. I mean, at
(30:37):
some point, the father, mother, nature, father time, whatever we
gonna say, will take over and you will not be
able to have any more kids. But I don't know
how old Tiffany Rivers is.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
I believe she's forty.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Okay, so she's right near the finish line. She's getting
close to the finish line. But she's probably got a
couple more years. With things like IVF and things like that,
actually could maybe pop another one or two kids out.
They got to get to eleven, don't they don't They
have to get to eleven?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Football football team.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, I'm gonna put it field, the whole team. Put
them out there.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Most of them are girls.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Though, for the record, what's wrong with that? Girls can
play football? What about not? Really? Not well? But he
was number seventeen. You think he's shooting for seventeen? No, No,
I don't know why not. He loves kids. Do all
the kids wear Bolo ties like he did back in
the day. You think they all want to die?
Speaker 5 (31:33):
I hope not.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Apparently.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Those Mercedes Sprinter vans, yeah, can hold up to fifteen passages.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
There you go, that's right, so many guys.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
It's kids.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
I'm just saying you could fit fifteen guys in there too.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And they're mostly girls.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
You said, Eddie, Yes, seven daughters and two sons.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
To pay for seven weddings.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Oh god, he's good for it.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
He's good for it.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Wow, all right, good luck, good luck to Philip Rivers.
That's Mazleto. Let's go to Andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome, what's.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Going on, Ben, It's good to be with you. Listen.
You started the show talking about the Dodgers and the
subtle possible moves that they could be making coming out
of the All Star break. Listen, I'm here to tell
you the Dodgers this is all smoking mirrors. Then okay,
they're going big game hunting into the show. Hey Otani, sweepstakes,
that's what this comes down to. At the end of
(32:33):
the day. They can give us a little subject fuge
talking about maybe a couple dollars a year and a
prospect there no, no, no, no, no no. They want to
spend the seven hundred to one billion dollars, as I said,
one billion dollars that it's going to take to bring
show Hey Otani a couple miles north up to la
and then put him on a team. He said it. Listen.
(32:55):
He wants to compete. He see, he's sick of losing.
So that that canceled Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I'ay listen, they don't need sho Hao Tani. They got
Jake Marisnik, a cheating a hole. Who's say they added
that's who they got, Jake Marisi.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Okay, mister Morisnik is not going to give them hundreds
of millions and possibly billions of dollars. It's billions with
a B and revenue that's going to be coming over
from Asia if you just just alone in terms of
the marketing. Okay, never mind a guy that's gonna be
a side young candidate and a home run champion and
quick quick side note then, because we have to touch
on Philip Rivers in his seven weddings, I want to
(33:29):
say a quick thing about that. But shoe Otani is
more durable than people give him credit for played one
hundred and fifty five games in one hundred and fifty
seven games the last two years, so people thinking that
he's kind of this brittle superstar. I e. Aaron Judge.
I hate to say it because Aaron Judge is a
KPE League guy, but he is injury prone. I don't
think Showa Aa Tany's going to break down, and I
think the Dodgers are going to be at the front
of the line to pay him again seven hundred million
(33:50):
to one billion.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yes, everyone breaks down. And there has never been in
the history of baseball one of those three hundred or
four hundred million dollar contracts that has worked out from
beginning to end. They all are failures, every one of them,
and even show Hail Tani will be a failure. Now.
The way I look at it, though, is if you
win one World Series, even though you're gonna suck at
(34:12):
the end of the contract, I'm okay with it. Like
Mookie Betts with the Dodgers. He's already won a World
Series of the Dodgers, hardest World Series of all time,
twenty twenty global pandemic, look it up. And so, okay,
he's gonna be a terrible player at the end of
his career. But that's fine. They already won one more.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Gotcha, Mookie Betts. I got to push back a little bit,
Bookie Betts. Okay, a Red Sox draft tam. I think
he's gonna be built to last. Lookten, we got to
have some of these guys like the Willie Mages of
old who had a little bit of your bilty.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Now, but even Willy May's at the end. People. They
tell terrible stories about when he played for the Mets
and how washed up he was at the end of
his career.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Indeed, you're nineteen twenty quickly because you mentioned Philip Rivers
in his ten child It might have to Philip Rivers
and the seven weddings he had to pay for. I
think Philip Rivers is going to be a textbook example, ladies. Okay,
it's about the marriage, not the wedding.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
You don't got to spend five hundred thousand dollars a
million dollars on a wedding, only a half to pay
divorce lawyers three or four years later. The Philip Revers
is gonna give us a prototype, right, You're gonna be
prouval with the wedding, okay, and really invest the sustainable
relationships instead. It pays off in the end. I'm looking
for you to lead the charge on this, Filip. I
know you can do it.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Thanks taking the call, Ben, Okay, life advice from andre
in the Commonwealth. I know that makes Anthony and Anaheim
a happy camper. So so happy time now for the
who am I game? And here we go. I am
the only player, the only player who has appeared in
the All Star Game for the NL in each of
(35:39):

only player who appeared in the All Star Game for
the NL in each of their last two All Star
wins in twenty twelve and now this year. Earlier this
