fun day to you. In our number four, as we
discuss media stories, including Richard Sherman. Does Richard Sherman make

(00:21):
sense to be the co host with Skip Bayless? Also
there's a golf story. Did Roy McElroy's rant on the
Saudi's investment into Live hit the mark? He's threatening to retire?
He said he would rather retire than work for Live.
And what did you think of the Eagles Dallas Goddard

(00:43):
saying the team was bullied because of the tush push,
that other teams were mocking the Eagles because of the
tush push play last year. We'll talk about all that
and more. Don't forget the Fifth Hour podcast, our exclusive
Malard Palooza postgame show, available to you today as well.
Have a wonderful weekend here it is the Fifth Hour,

(01:04):
also today, but here's our four. In the Big Chair
as a host used to stay on these airways, somebody's
stepping into the big chairs. Not official yet Welcome In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
We are in the air everywhere head on, as we
know our show is so satisfying you'll want to listen alone,
so no one knows you're listening.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Coast to coast, border the border and beyond. On the
vast and grandiosely powerful microphones of fs are emmanating live
from the line. As we are about to cross the
finish line or another week of broadcasting, we are emanating
live from the ti raq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast

(01:58):
free shipping, free roadh hazard p and over ten thousand
recommending his dollars tyre rack dot com the way tire
buying show me and our lead this hour coming from
Sports Media Musings. Sports Media Musings, A couple of stories
caught my chest. What one in particular, one in particular

(02:20):
that I think is going to be worthy of some
conversation between me and you. It's been a couple of
days since it was reported with breathless coverage that Fox
was struggling to find a replacement for Shannon Sharp. The
narrative has changed dramatic. A new name has emerged as

(02:41):
a beacon of hope the North star if you will
to sit in that Shannon Sharp share of the front runner.
So if you haven't been following along because you don't
really care about who hosts the TV show, maybe you
haven't been paying attention. We are told that Richard Sherman, Yeah,

(03:02):
that guy, Yeah, him, Richard Sherman. You know who that is.
He is the leading candidate to be Skip Bayless's partner
on FS one's Undisputed Now. Shannon Sharp famously had a
midlife crisis. He ended up leaving a great job that
pays a lot of money after seven years because he
was fed up with Skip Bayless and he quit. And

(03:24):
the show is on hiatus. It was a normal thing
every summer. Apparently they go on hiatus there they will
begin again just before the NFL season in late August.
So they're off the rest of this month and then
all of pretty much all of the augst What a
great gig, by the way you do TV and you're
off half of July and you're off most of August,

(03:49):
that's a pretty good gig. The weather's solid, you know,
if you like the heat. Solid weather. So let's discuss
let's get don't don't get off the topic here, get
to the point. Please the question, does this Richard Sherman
makes sense to step into the Shannon Sharp chair and
sit across some Skip baalists. So I am nodding my head. Yes,

(04:10):
I've got Hunger Games, Milton Bradley and Oxy Moron, and
we will combine all of these things together and we're
gonna make Baba Ganoosh is what we're gonna make. Yes,
Birthday Baba Ganoosh. So to kick off the festivities here,
by the sound of things, Richard Sherman is way out

(04:33):
in front, in the lead. Now he doesn't have a
job yet. But the fact that this story was conveniently
leaked by insiders, I'm gonna go out on a limb
and say that this likely came from executives who work
in television because the slander that was making the rounds
that they were struggling to find someone to replace Shannon Sharp,

(04:56):
and that's why the show was on hiatus. And so
just a couple of days after that, all of a sudden,
this story gets leaked that Richard Sherman is mister Perfect,
but he really is. Skip Bayless needs someone who can
grapple with him. He's seventy one years old. He's still
got his fastball. He's the godfather of debate, Skip Bayless.
You look at the Undisputed producers and they're treating this

(05:19):
job search like the Hunger Games. They have this this
dystopian adventure here and Sherman fills their belly. He fills
the bat what's in my belly? He checks all of
the boxes. Why he's an ex jocky TV people love
x jocks. They're mostly Jocksnifferts. He's brash, bold and arrogant,

(05:40):
and much like this show, he has shown a propensity
Sherman to provide strong, candidate, unapologetic opinions. He's willing to
wrestle mud wrestle with Bayless. And we know these guys
got into it on First Take back in the day
and Sherman was playing for the Seahawks at the time.
He was considered the number one defensive back in the NFL,

(06:02):
and he was a guest on that show and he
got very upset with Skip Baylis told Skip Bayless to
address him as an all pro Stanford graduate, which was
a douchebag move but made for good TV. Sherman also
told Bayless that he had never accomplished anything in his life,
which also makes for good TV. And then Bayless responded

(06:23):
by saying that he'd accomplished more in television than Sherman
had in football. So that's back and forth on the
boob too. So we'll see if he gets a job.
He don't have a job yet. The fact that the
story was leaked, I would say that it's his job
if he wants it. Got to live in la and
get paid four or five million dollars a year to

(06:43):
do a three hour show and mostly talk about the
Dallas Cowboys, Lebron James and the Lakers and like two
other things. And that's about it. Did he miss anything?
I don't think so. All right. Furthermore, let's go to golf.
Why there's a story that's compelling. And when there's a
compelling story, we go where the news of the day
takes us. So we go now to the world of golf.

(07:05):
Rory McElroy pulling no punches after a first round of
the Scottish Open. You don't watch the Scottish Open, bad
job by you. But Roy McElroy unloaded there and did
not pull back. He said, in no uncertain terms, what
would happen what would happen if the Live Golf people

(07:30):
were the only people to play for? He said, quote,
if Live Golf was the last place to play on Earth,
I would retire. Rory McElroy opined, that's how I feel
about it. I'd play the majors, but I'd be pretty comfortable,
so that's not totally retiring. Now. McElroy reiterated that other

(07:53):
players were blindsided by the merger, and he said that
he is now apathetic to all of the hullabaloo or
the noises he said around this. So the question here,
did Rory McElroy's rant on playing for the Saudis with
the Live Golf Tour hit the mark? So it came close.

(08:15):
If you look at the dartboard, it's just a little
off from a bullseye. He didn't hit the bullseyes a
little off to the right. And I'll tell you why
this was a Milton Bradley special, a game of twister,
because in one breath, out of one side of his mouth,
he said, I Live Golf was the last place to
play on Earth. That's it. I'm out. But then on

(08:38):
the other side of his mouth, he seemed to have
convinced himself that the live tour is you know, the
Devil's playground, but the PGA tour is Casablanc And he
was trying to rationalize the deal that the PGA made
with the Saudi government to get a billion dollars for
them to bankroll the PGA. So I'll be the adult

(09:03):
in the room. The PGA is not Casablanca, and the
Saudi Public Wealth Fund is the sugar daddy. Who's your
sugar daddy. That's the sugar daddy of the PGA. They're
the ones calling the shots, So deal with it. I mean,
you're essentially it's the same thing. You're essentially working for
the seal you play on the PGA tour, you're working
for the Saudi government. Because anybody has ever done business,

(09:26):
the person that writes the checks is the one that
makes the decisions. And the people writing the checks are
the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund. They're the ones the public
Wealth Fund that are doing it. Period. Stop exclamation point.
That's it, party shot. Let's go back to football. Why

(09:47):
there's a funny story comes out of the Delaware Valley
Eagles tight end Dallas Goddard. You know who that is. No,
you're not a Dallas Goddard Guy Dallas. Goddard the tight
end of the Eagles. He recently spilled the tee if
you will, on the Eagles being harassed by opposing defensive
players last season. Thinkas had a great team. They got

(10:09):
to the Super Bowl. They lost, the Eagles unable to
get past Patty Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. But
let me give you a story. So the opposing teams,
according to Dallas got It, were upset with the Eagles
offense and a signature play from Jalen Hurts the tush push,

(10:30):
the tush bush, the tushy push. Goddard says that opponents
hated that play so much, how much he said that
defenders would call them let me clean this up for radio.
He said. Opposing teams that played the Eagles would call
that play, called the team for running that play pussy willows,

(10:52):
flowers and soft, and they would yell at the Eagles
offense to quote run a real play, and Goddard said
he and the Eagles offense would respond by saying, well,
don't give us a third or fourth and one. He added,
I don't know how you stop it. I don't know

(11:14):
what you do to stop it. So let's discuss what
did you think of the Eagles being bullied by the
tushy push play. So I'm I'm on the side. I
understand the side of the defense right because it is
an unbecoming play. It's understandable with the way it be,
the way I would say it. And I'll tell you

(11:34):
why the tush push is an oxymoron because on one hand,
it's like being a golfer and you you're dominating Augusta.
You're kicking ass in Augusta and at the Masters, and
then you wake up and you're like, wait a minute,
I'm in like the twilight zone here and I'm dominating.
It looks like Augusta, but it's actually a put putt

(11:54):
golf course and I'm getting a hole in one here,
and the windmill is spinning round and round, and there's
AstroTurf down and there's a snack bar selling popcorn and
candy and yeah, cotton candy, by the way. So it
is a gimmick play, and these gimmick plays do not
last forever. The reason they don't last forever is because

(12:16):
either the defense figures out how to stop it, like
the wildcat play that used to be the end thing
years ago, and that's gone for the most part, or
teams know how to defend it or the other play,
if you will. The other thing that happens to plays
like this is they just get kicked out of the
league because they're unfair. But I will give the coaching

(12:39):
staff in Philadelphia they credit. They found a chink in
the armor of opposing defenses and they went for it.
And that's pretty much all of sport is exploiting a
soft spot in the opponent, finding that weak point and
then attacking it. And the NFL did not have the
balls to outlaw the tush push. So the Eagles will

(13:01):
be okay, they should win a bunch of games because
of the tush push. However, this season, I would estimate,
and I don't think I'm wrong when I say this,
we're gonna have twenty teams, over twenty teams in the
NFL your short yardage situations attempt to run a version

(13:22):
of the tush push. Yeah, they're gonna do it. Now.
They don't have Jalen Hurts, some of them have very
immobile quarterbacks, although there's not that many immobile quarterbacks in
the NFL. But teams are gonna do it. We know
Sean Payton and Denver has already said, Hey, with Russell Wilson,
I'm gonna do it, and I will guarantee you when
that happens. Everyone's copycatting what the Eagles have done. The

(13:45):
NFL is gonna have a huddle and then they're gonna
get to the little line of scrimmage. They're gonna look around,
they're gonna go oh maha, oh maha.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
O ma.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
They're gonna call it audible, and that will go the
way of the horse collar tackle, the fumble, rooski and
other things that have been outlawed over the years in
the NFL. It is the Ban Mallard Show. If you'd

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I got a random email this week, say what happened
to credit Card Gordon. There's a name. Where did he go?
Credit Card Gordon? He disappeared?

Speaker 6 (16:07):
Oh yeah, I forgot about it.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I kind of yeah. Yeah, he was entertaining, he was
so he was so bad. He was good. Credit Card Gordon.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
He fell off the face of and he had a
story name.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, that's right. He sent Miranda, my old producer, a
credit card years ago because he wanted us to buy
He wanted her to buy cigarettes because they were cheaper
in the United States than in Canada. And so that
was his whole, his whole deal. And remember he moved
from Ottawa to Waterloo. He became credit Card Gordon in Waterloo.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
Waterloo. Yeah, oh there's a Waterloo, Iowa.

Speaker 5 (16:43):
So yeah, not that Sam got excited for a second.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, there are other places outside of Iowa.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
Sam there are multiple waterloos out there, that's true.

Speaker 7 (16:53):
It's when when certain callers disappear for a long enough time,
you just you almost have to assume don't work anymore.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
That well.

Speaker 7 (17:02):
I mean, I don't know about I don't know about Gordon,
but like like Radio Rich for example.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, Radio Rich is one that doesn't called it a
long time, hasn't checked in. Yeah, it happens. I kind
of like it better when we know.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
Yeah, sure, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
When people and sometimes people are really cool, they have
their family reach out to us and stuff because they
know they're they're part of the show and so they
let us know. But that just came up. And we
don't do shout outs, by the way, this is not
a morning Zoos show, so we don't do shout outs.
So I cannot I cannot do a shout out to
our old colleague, the great Ted Sobol, who may or
may not be having his twentieth birthday plus a few years.

(17:37):
Oh wow today, so milestone birthday for Teddy Sobo. There
it was very good radio man. I wish I signed
it as good as Ted Sob. He sounds so great
on the air. He does network hockey and football stuff.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Nowady that's what I had him on the hockey podcast.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, he's a great he did. He was the voice
of the Ice Dogs, the La Ice Dogs, a minor
league hockeyal and also also well in LA and in
the LA area. And he was also a play by
play guy for a team in Wisconsin University Wisconsin was it?
The university was Yeah, there you go. Yeah, And he's
he's been been amazing. He's been very helpful to me

(18:13):
in my time. But we don't do a shout out,
so ted, if you're listening, I cannot do a shout out,
and I certainly cannot do a shout out to stay
awake with Jake, who may or may not be driving around,
of all places, Montana. He was driving from Utah to Montana. Yeah,
very random, right, very random. I asked the same question,
what are you doing? And professor, that's right, the good professor,

(18:38):
just like Tomikass. He's a professor. But anyway, Jake is
in Utah visiting a friend and then they I guess
he's going to Montana's on his way driving right now.
Listening on serious XM satellite radios.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
We have not heard from Tammy in a while.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Speaking of Montana, Yes, what happened to Tammy? Is Tammy
still around Cooper Loop? She used to check in every
couple of weeks.

Speaker 6 (18:59):
I have not heard from Tammy in a while as well.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Oh no, what happened to Tammy? Did Tammy quit the show?
Is she done with the show? Now? Yeah? She might
be busy, but Tammy made sure that like she hooked
up Hollering James without Tammy. That's probably why Hollering James
hasn't called, because usually just Tammy will, like, out of
the goodness of her heart, fix Hollering James phone, which
he breaks because he throws it around like a Neanderthal

(19:24):
and uh and breaks it on it. Anyway, It's the
Ben Maler Show on Fox. Let's check in with Page.
How about checking with Marcel in Brooklyn? Hello, Marcel.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
People are very saying about the recounts from Malapaloosa and
looks like Pam and Seattle one. So congrats to Pam and.

Speaker 5 (19:48):
You got screwed by Chris Purffette. Marcel what.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Not literally but metaphorically yes.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
And Graveyard says Marcel is the obvious winner, and I said,
I agree. Watch the real John says he should me
have won. They should be a recount too.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Are you saying, Marcel, no justice, nos peace? Is that
what you're saying right now?

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yes? No justice, no peace?

Speaker 1 (20:18):
What okay? Thank you?

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yes, good morning and happy Friday.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Joey, Marcel, did just Eddie? Did you see this? Marcel?
Did you see somebody sent me this. There's video of
Messi in Miami and they compared it to what it's
like in his home country of Argentina. So in Argentina,
when Messi leaves his house, there's hundreds of people that
want to like just see him and take photos and
get autographs.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
Right literally, like Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So they showed Messi at a
grocery store in Miami and he was shopping by himself
for groceries and no one else even knew who the
hell he was. Oh my god, how great is that? Yeah,
he's got like boxes of cereal in his cart. You know,
he's walking out of the store. This guy's an international

(21:06):
superstar and he's in Miami. Nobody even knowsho he is.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
That's great Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Doing, Marcel, Marcel, do you know who Messi is? Oh? No, okay,
who do you think Messi is?

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Always like the house of mess.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
No, it's it's actually pig Pen from the Peanuts. He
probably didn't, Yeah, pig pen for the peanuts. He's a
soccer po's a mess.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
I think mess. It looks like he might have bought
some lucky charms.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
You found the photo. Yeah, yeah, and kids.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yeah he has kids, think about sir.

Speaker 6 (21:52):
Peanut butter crunch. I see it.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Oh you're looking at the photo too, right, yum me,
yum me. Those look like family sized boxes.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yes they are.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Okay, can I call some bull crap on this?

Speaker 8 (22:02):
Like?

Speaker 6 (22:03):
So there was a picture, hold on, Marcel.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Said, Marcel said Nora really quick.

Speaker 7 (22:09):
There was a picture of Taylor Swift a few weeks ago,
who's shopping at a Whole Foods and no one was
bothering her. And I feel like that was just stage.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
And so is this No, I don't think it is,
because that's Whole Foods. No. Right across the street from
where we work, there's a bunch of celebrities lit up
in the bel air in that area in l a mobbed.

Speaker 7 (22:26):
They don't get mobbed, no, because you like you have
to have like a net worth of at least a
million to even step into a Whole Foods, so that
that filters out the one.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
I bet your messy loves it though, probably right because
I think something great. You can just live your life.
Nobody's bothering you, both.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
Of them, do you guys? Both have the picture still up?

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yes? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (22:50):
Am I mistaken?

Speaker 7 (22:51):
Or one of those cereal is in a bag which
means it's the generic store brand, right.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
That one talking about the one that looks like it's all.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
It looks like fruit loops, but it's it's not for loops.
It's it's it's like fruit fruit.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
Oh no, a lot. You know, when you're from Argentina,
maybe you don't know the difference.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
No, no, no, I got a theory on this. I got
a theory. Maybe he's trying to punish one of his
kids was bad until he's getting in the generic franc Seria.
Yeahs like, how's Marcel in the Morning doing? By the way,
is your show doing all right? There?

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Oh? Absolutely, I'm back for Mornings with Marcel and Friends
every Tuesday except for Monday through Friday. But everything.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
It's so good.

Speaker 5 (23:54):

a message here saying that Tammy and Montana is fine.
That's all they said. Fine. So I don't know if
that means she's fine fine or fine. I have no idea.
Alf says, how about earning the graad o'piner or no
and no condom?

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Carl?

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, Ernie quit the show earning the great opiner with
the show no condom?

Speaker 8 (27:02):
Carl.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
I don't know what happened to him. Yeah, we've lost
a few legends over the years, but you do this
long enough, people change, the callers changed, and a programming
not Eddie. You know, today is our day off. Once
we get done with the show working here, we're done
for the weekend. So you know what I've signed up
to do today, baking no double dip. Yeah. I was

(27:22):
called in by our affiliate, our flagship in LAM five seventies,
totally co hosting with television legend the Icon, the Great
Fred Rogan there. Wow, yeah, I'll be on with that.
I guess Rodney Pete is away, so I will be in.
But I don't know how long the show The Dodger
Game might get rained out. If it's rained out, it's
like a three hour show. If it's not rained out,

(27:43):
it's gonna be like a one hour show.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
But that means an hour show. It's like, what's the point.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
I know, I know it's a quick turnaround too, especially
for you. I mean I go to bed very late.
But they've asked me to do it, and I said,
what the hell? Why not?

Speaker 7 (27:58):
I have been informed yes, that apparently General Mills now
makes a large bagged cereal. They are bigger than the
family size and they are Ziplock resealable.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
So you think that MESSI did buy the name y
cereal and not the generic brand. Yes, I like my
line though that he's punishing his kid, though I think
that was a line.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
And they eat a lot of cereal in the messy
household there.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
It's not the healthiest thing to eat too, right, but
let his kids live. Kids got to enjoy life. Did
you see that? Future took a shot at Russell Wilson
Cooper Loops quarterback there in a newly released song, saying
the lyric is I got it out the field. F
Russell was the lyric. So I'm sure Russ likes that.

(28:45):
No he doesn't. Maybe he'll like the Coop Scoop on entertainment.
Hooray for Holly, Yeah, hooray for Holly was here? He
is the Kooper Loop justin Cooper.

Speaker 7 (28:55):
All right, Ben, We're gonna start off with some some
entertainment news that was alluded to a little bit earlier
in the show by Iowa Sam sag Aftra has now
gone on strike as well. Yes, so the actors are
on strike, the riders are on strike, so we may
not have a Koop Scoop on or entertainment in the
upcoming weeks.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Is YouTube on strike too? They're still making content over.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
There together, the vloggers. Yeah, the YouTube workers of America.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
That's me, yes, still on the job.

Speaker 7 (29:31):
Aside from that this weekend, in fact, it's actually actually
came out in the middle of the week, I think yesterday,
two days ago.

We've got the latest Mission Impossible movie part one. I saw,
yes part one, Dead Reckoning part one.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
So how many are they up to?

Speaker 1 (29:47):

Speaker 5 (29:48):
I like the number were like five six something like that.
It's gotta be more than that, really, I think I
checked out after one after one.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
Yeah, I think they're fantastic, And I'm not a big sequels,
but I think most of them are really good.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
Which which is the best one, Sam? Because maybe I'll
check one out of the weekend.

Speaker 6 (30:05):
Let's see the one with uh they put the little
the implant in the brain?

the thing called the Internet.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Sorry, and the first one's amazing. So there are This

Well it's a lot. Yeah, is the one with Superman good?

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Uh?

We have a new TV project mini series on Max.
I hate calling it that. That's but yeah, it's Uh.
Why they changed the name, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (31:24):
It seems like one of the worst business decisions ever
because HBO is like what draws you in? They've got
the reputation of putting.

Speaker 5 (31:32):
When I hear Max, I think Cinemax.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, good point, I think chink.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
Why not call it like a home box office? Max?
Just use the full name. It's just it's just a
box office.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
You know why? The same reason people change things in
our business consultants. I bet you're consultants.

Speaker 6 (31:50):
You're probably you're probably right, but yet we.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Knew, you know, don't be HBO. HBO is old go
with the.

Speaker 7 (31:55):
Max this Uh this mini series is called Full Circle
and it is from Steven Soderbergh. He directs all six
episodes and it is a twisty, kaleidoscopic drama centering on
an investigation into a botched kidnapping in New York City.

Speaker 8 (32:12):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (32:13):
The cast is led by Claire Danes and Timothy Oliphant
and uh, Jim Gaffigan is also in this as well
as Dennis Quaid. So that is available on Max right now.
