Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bird two, Our two
Ready to go. We head to Dallas. That Cowboys. How
about them Cowboys? Thumbs up er thumbs down. Does the
explanation from Jerry Jones' son on the dormant Dallas Cowboys
off season past the eye exam Also is Micah Parson
(00:24):
skipping the Cowboys voluntary offseason workouts a significant storyline? And
has Trevor Lawrence done enough to earn a massive Jags extension?
They have had conversations. We'll talk about that and more
right now here. It is our number two. It's all
part of the master plan. Just listen. Welcome. In the
(00:51):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We
are in the air everywhere BFFs as we catch some
audio waves coast stuck, coast, border, the border and beyond
on the mast and uncharacteristically powerful microphones of FSR emmating
(01:16):
live from your ears. You won't believe your ears as
we are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping. Free road has a protection and over
ten thousand recommended in starars truck or Joe almost drove
(01:41):
off the road. He couldn't believe there's that many tireraq
dot Com the way tire buying should.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Be.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
And our lead this out, we'll get back to the
roots of the show. We'll get back to football with
a wink at a nod to the Lakers beating the
pell in the Big easy and so they'll play the Nuggets.
So that means we won't watch the Lakers long in
the playoffs. They'll be out in the first round, which
is great. Love that and Golden State too old, washed up,
(02:13):
grumpy old men. They go down as Klay Thompson, what
a memorable performance. Zero for ten for Klay Thompson. He
had a shutout. He did not score scored as many
points as you did. So that's the NBA story. But
our lead this hour coming from the NFL. And here's why,
(02:33):
because that pays the power bill and we like to
have lights, and we have the lights on in these parts.
So Jerry Jones, good old Jerry, the sock puppet for
Jerry Jones, has spoke. Now this is not the official
State of the Union cowboy address because it didn't come
directly from Jerry Jones. But it came from the DNA
spawn of Jerry and address Dallas. We'll actually, you know, Cowboys,
(03:01):
cowboy World or what do they call Jerry's worth. So
if you didn't see this and perhaps not get to
the point, please Stephen Jones, the spawn of Jerry, confirmed
that the Cowboys are quote all in close quote for
the twenty twenty four regular season. But but Stephen Jones, well,
(03:21):
rather than me just tell you what he said, let's
go to the audio tip. Here's Stephen Jones explaining on
radio and Dallas what the plan is for the boys.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I think if you're not all in in this league,
you're all out. And I don't know of any of
the thirty two who aren't all in. And you know,
everybody can have their own definition of what that means.
But I've never not known us to be all in,
nor have I known anybody we compete against not to
be all in. It's you know, they have different strategies
(03:51):
as to what that means. We spend max max money
year in and year out. All thirty two can only
spend the same amount of money over a five year stretch,
and when we're all said and done, we max out
our salary cap every year and we will have we
will have done that. What comes with having a good roster,
(04:12):
which we do and you know we also uh you know,
are looking towards signing our own guys. It doesn't mean
it happens overnight, but when you're wanting to sign uh
players like dak and Micah and CD, then you have
to hold money back if you want to have a
realistic chance at signing those guys.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
All right, so it sounds like he just woke up
when he did that that interview. He rolled rolled over
in bed and picked up the phone, made the phone call. Fine,
So let me translate for those of that are not
paying attention. So Steven Jones, that's what you heard there,
confirming the Cowboys are all in h and said that
they need to hold money back to sign their players.
(04:53):
So clearly he mentioned he mentioned their names. He blames
the Cowboys lack of activity this offseason on Dakota Press,
Micah Parsons and see d Lamb. That's that's those are
his words. We played them, We played them for all right.
So let us discuss the question. You're gonna go thumbs
(05:14):
up or thumbs down? Does this explanation by Steven Jones
for the Dormant Cowboys offseason Pass the eye exam. So
I'm gonna go thumbs down on this. I'm going thumbs
down on this. I've got Jabberwocke, Hoover, and Times Square,
(05:36):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a breakfast burrito, which is
a I haven't seen those many places other than California
the breakfast burrito. I know those other I think in
Texas they have a lot of breakfast burritos, but in
California they love the breakfast burrito. So and that's just
like put fries and other crap in there. All right, So,
first of all, if you are someone listening to us
(06:00):
in Dallas or any Cowboy fan anywhere, forget Dalla. We're
not in Dallas, but who cares. If you believe what
Stephen Jones and Jerry Jones are selling, you are a
distant relative of Dumbo. Okay, what are you doing here?
I read the eye chart again. I know about eye charts.
I wear bifocals. Okay, this is classic chicanery by the
(06:24):
Dallas Cowboys every season. Jerry Jones, I've been doing this
job way too long. And every year I have done
a monologue about Jerry Jones making a statement after the
Cowboys are eliminated and before the NFL Draft about how
they're all in right. That is the you know what
that is. It's the default saying. You know, when you
(06:44):
get a new phone, there's a default setting, or your computer,
there's default setting in your laptop. That is the default
setting for Jerry Jones. With the hibernating that the Cowboys
have done this UF they haven't even done what they
normally where they washed up like washed up veterans. They
signed some washed up guy. They haven't even done that.
So Jerry's Cowboys are guilty of jabberwocky. They're selling nonsense,
(07:07):
is what they're saying. It is impossible. Let me repeat
for those in the background, it is impossible to go
all in if you're more concerned about saving money for
the Rainy Day slush fund to pay Dak Prescott, Micah
Parsons and CD Lamb so Dallas. Most of us know
that they are headed towards a seminal moment. They are
(07:29):
headed towards a seminal moment. And what is that seminal moment?
Dak Prescott is the wild card in all this, which
is appropriate because he normally loses in the wildcard run.
So Dak Prescott is the wild card. Will Jerry Jones
cave in? He hasn't caved in yet, hasn't done it yet.
Will he cave in? Now? I believe he will. I don't.
(07:49):
He shouldn't. I shouldn't. I believe ultimately Dak will get
a contract. He should not get a contract. Was the
playoff loss to the Packers, the embarrassment where the Cowboys
got pants by green Beeck? Was that enough to be
the tipping point? We're gonna find out right now. Jerry's
(08:10):
been okay, two of those three guys are gonna stay.
One of them will be one, now speaking, one of
those guys we stay in big D. Here, page two. Here,
I've read that Micah Parsons, he's a linebacker for the
Dallas cous Michael Parsons, he did not show up to
the voluntary workouts the Cowboys have started this week. And
(08:33):
that is they're saying this is not related to his contract.
It's not a contract situation, so the reporting is out
of Texas. They're claiming that Micah Parsons is simply doing
his own training program, a personalized training program specifically for
his needs, his wants and desires. All right, So is
(08:56):
Micah Parsons defensive start? He was compared to Lawrence Taylor
for two games last season, then he had to play
the rest. Do you remember him making a play in
the playoff game against the Packers, because I don't anyway, MICHAEH. Parsons.
Is this cat, Micah Parsons skipping the Cowboy voluntary offseason workouts?
Is it significant with what we now know? All right?
(09:19):
So I'm nodding my head yes on this one. I'm
nodding my head yes. And while it is technically voluntary,
and that is true, it is voluntary. When you're in
the position of Michael Parsons, things are a little different,
the stakes a little different. And this is what I
call a Hoover situation. And I'm not talking about Hoover, Alabama.
I'm talking about the Hoover vacuum or go. This story
(09:44):
exposes Micah Parsons and the leadership vacuum in Dallas. Michael
Parsons is supposed to be the face of the Dallas
Cowboys defense. He is supposed to be the leader that
inspires the team if you believe that crap. But he's
supposed to be that guy, right. Everyone tells me that
I rate everything online. They tell me how great Mike
is and all this wonderful stuff. He's the face of
(10:05):
the Cowboys. So am I wrong to think by not
showing up? That is the epitome for Michah Parsons of
putting yourself in front of the team, because I will
garreon effing to you. There are a bunch of other
guys that are at those voluntary workouts of the Cowboys
(10:26):
who don't want to be at those voluntary workouts of
the Dallas Cowboys, but they can't just sit home and
they would rather have personalized workouts. It's also Michael Parsons
taking a shot at the Dallas Cowboys training staff that
they cannot get him in the proper condition in the offseason,
that Michael Parsons needs to hire his hand picked personal trainer,
(10:47):
So he's taking a shot at Jerry Jones' training staff
as well. That's what we call a two for one,
the daily double for Michaeh. Parson's all right, final thought,
So we hop skip and jump to Duvall County just
have a guy named Angry Bill that called the show
from there, but he had a mental breakdown. I think
it seemed like he did. So he didn't call him
(11:07):
one uh but Duval County. So that is where Duval County.
That is where the Jacksonville football team plays when they're
not in London. And quarterback Trevor Lawrence, I know you're
very concerned about his four oh one K. So Trevor
Lawrence is in a position now he's eligible to receive
a Baffosaco contract extension, a hum danger of a contract extension.
(11:30):
So I know it's exciting for you. So he said
this week that he has had talks with the team.
He wants to stay in Jacksonville as long as he can,
but he said that the contract is not really his focus.
It's the boiler plate response when you ask these questions.
That's what you're supposed to say. I love the team,
(11:50):
I love the fans, but I'm not worried about it.
So has Trevor That's the opposite by the way of
Justin Jefferson is like, I want every dollar, not a
dimeback anyway. So has Trevor Lawrence done enough to earn
a massive Jaguar extension. So I'm gonna go no. I'm
(12:10):
mean use the same theory I use for Dak Prescott.
I'm gonna be consistent, which is rare in gas baggery.
But I look at the work of the quarterback in Jacksonville,
Trevor Lawrence, the same way I look at Dak Prescott.
A lot of emptiness, a lot of emptiness, not getting
it done in big moments and key moments. That's what
(12:31):
I look at, right. And So to answer the question,
has this cat Trevor Lawrence done enough to get a contract,
a new contract? I'm shaking my no on this one.
Trevor Lawrence to me watching him play, and I watched
way too much NFL, as we most of us do well.
Watching Trevor Lawrence, he reminds me of like a nineteen
(12:52):
seventies trip to Times Square in New York. He's a
peep show quarterback, right. You see a little glimpse here,
the little glimpse there, just enough to think that this
guy's gonna be great. But it's never consistent enough. There's
always a hitch in his giddy up here, or a
turn in the punch bowl over there with his Trevor Lawrence.
(13:14):
And we have seen these titillating flashes from Trevor Lawrence,
but the lack of consistency, well, who's going to get there?
How do you know he's gonna get How do you
know it? And he certainly regrets that we can all
agree on that. In twenty twenty three, Sam Howell, who
was fired by the Washington Commanders, he was sent out
to Southern Alaska's Jimmy Johnson famously called Seattle. In the trade.
(13:35):
Sam Howell had as many touchdown passes as Trevor Lawrence
last season. Now, I didn't play in the NFL. That
doesn't seem good to me. That doesn't seem particularly good
to me. Lawrence also finished in the top ten in
interceptions that I have sixth overall in interceptions, and he
just mainly did not rise to the occasion. Now full disclosure.
One of the main reasons I have taken a strong
(13:56):
no extension position for Trevor Lawrence is if you watched
any of the maiden voyage of Benny Versus the Penny
this past season. I put my neck out on Jacksonville
being legit on a nationally syndicated cable television and he
made me look like an absolute donkey Trevor Lawrence, so
(14:18):
I've not forgiven it. I do like to hold a grudge.
It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Late Night drug Test. Writes in He says Stephen Jones
has a lot to learn from the old man. Using
poker terms isn't as entertaining as talking about glory hole
and mosquito circumcision. That is true. The sequel is not
the equal and we know how that works, right. The
sequel is not the equal, and so Stephen Jones at
(16:32):
some point Jerry's gonna move on past the pearly gates,
and then Stephen Jones will take over fully and God
only knows what's gonna happen, because look at the Yankees
with Steinbrenner when he passed away. The Yankees have been
a playoff team most of the time, but they don't
have the same edge. It's not the same right then,
that they don't have the same gusto that they had
(16:52):
back back in those days. We'll go to the phones.
We'll say hello to eeny meenie miney bow. Let's say
hello to Poppy in Sandy A go.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Hello, guys, Hey, we did good yesterday. I know you
guys are the big who went to I know yesterday
with the NBA. You know here professionally and sports, but
in an NBA What do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Ben Meller, I didn't think about it. You're you're you're
not in my head. I didn't edit not think about.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Oh really, yeah, okay, because I thought you were gonna
bet against me. So if that makes you would have gone.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
No, I did not bet against you. I rarely bet
on the NBA. I don't got you. Yeah, because it's
a bad product, and I don't. I don't I want
to lose my money on stuff. I know I lose
my money well enough on games. I know. I don't
want to. You know the problem with the NBA is
he listen these guys. You know, I imagine if you
(17:56):
had been on the Pelicans and you're you're sitting pretty
there with the Pelicans had a lead in the final
three and a half minutes and then zion I got
a boo boo, and that's it.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
You lose the better Well, you know, as I told you,
my favorite rep was right there, Scott Foster, and I
told you guys that Lakers had to win and go
on to the next round. I kind of predicted it wrong.
I thought it was going to be in the Kings game.
But it's all right tomorrow. There's uh, there's good games
actually today end up playing.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And I want to know if those are good games
that I would use the G word on those games.
They're they're games, they're games. I don't know if they're
good games. That's a bold statement to say good.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Well, I'm a big NBA fan, Bet Manner, and I'll
tell you what. The only good game on the board,
and I'm going to give you guys, a free pick
right here on the bed.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
All a free pick, lucky any Normally people pay in
ninety nine dollars to these picks, but Poppy's giving is amazing.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Yes, and you guys, and you guys can say me
if you want to say more than depth on picking
with Pompy and YouTube. But Miami Heat and the seventy
six ers, and I got news for you guys. There's
a lot of players are going to be out in
the Miami Heat. The best team is the seventy six ers.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I don't know what's the pick? What's the pick?
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Well, my pick is this Joel Embiida is gonna be
the way?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Wait wait, wait, wait, time out. You don't even know
what the line is? What kind of handicaper are you?
That most important thing is the line? How do you
know where the line is? That's what that's where you
get the value the line.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Yes, matter. But if I were a team, I was
gonna break this down and you're gonna come around.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Oh, I gotta do your work for you. How dare you?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
There? You go?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I recommend express employment professionals. All right, they'll hook you up.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
But no, no, I am a professional.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Matter.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
But all right, I'll give you a damn line. The
Sixers open the four point favorite at home. They are
a five point favorite over the butler Jimmy Buff.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Yes, yeah, and I will take the line right now
minus five guys, because Joel Embida is going to be playing,
and once they say the official news before the game
of the games at four, like two hours before.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
In San Diego it's at four o'clock, but where most
of the people live is at seven o'clock on these Yeah, that's.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
That's true, Ben Maller. So take the seventy six ers
right now with Joel Embiid, and.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
You're going You're going with the chalk. You're going with
the chalk. You're betting against playoff, the heatles, the heat culture,
all that. You're betting. Bad job, But all right, I

Speaker 8 (21:43):
You can be a big fish in a small pondit Treeport.
It's amazing. Well.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
One of my good friends who used to work here,
Chris Landry, well, it was a good friend. I haven't
talked to him in years, but he lives in Baton Rouge.
Big bath Time actually a fun.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Fact on the radio station I'm listening on, Larry King
and George Carlin used to work on it years ago.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh is that right there? You go? All right, well
you want I can. I can do a story time
afew on. I got stories about George. I got stories
about a lot of dead people. George Carlin used to
call into local LA radio when he was at the
peak of his comedy career as George from Venice. He
would call up and talk sports, and he never said
he was George carl And he was just we knew
(22:21):
off the air who he was. George from Venice.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
He used to call up, So I have a story
for you.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Oh, a story. We're trading stories. This is great, all right.
I gave a story, you give a story. Go ahead.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
So my great aunt used to date Willis Reid the NBA.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Now I did not have that on my Bengo card.
So Willis Reid, the Willis Reid game.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
Yeah, he used to date my great aunt and Grambling
years ago, and my aunt she had she was telling
the story how she and Willis Reid were great friends.
And I investigated some more. So I saw Willis Reid
along with Shaq Harris, who played quarterback for the Rams
many years ago. We were sitting at a high school
basketball game in Louisiana, and I asked, well, was read like, hey,
mister Willis, do you know my aunt? I gave her name.
(23:04):
He's like, oh yeah, years ago.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Oh he remembered her. That's impressive. Okay, okay, she must
have made her mark known to Willis. Oh yeah, all right,
the very talent today. Yeah, absolutely, all right. Well, Chris said,
you've broken You've broken the ice, so that means you
can the waters are clear going forward now? All right?
(23:28):
Oh really strong emotion. All right, thank you, Chris, all right,
big fan, you got good pipes, right, Chris.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I'm disappointed I didn't get a chance to ask Chris
if he covers the Shreeport Mudbugs.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Well, Chris is gonna call again.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Minor league hockey team down there in.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
The rule is, Chris, I know you're still listening. The
rule is, if you keep calling, we've got to give
you a goofy nickname. One call doesn't get a nickname,
two calls doesn't get a nickname. Three calls we think
about a nickname, and you don't get to pick your
own nick name. We have to approve of your nickname.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
And so that's can't do a Kobe and call yourself
Mamba black Mamba.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
No, I can't. I can't do it. And just for
the record, my nicknames didn't come up with them. People
gave him to me. Most of them came from Richard
the Racehorse, this guy that used to call from Detroit,
but I don't know what happened, and he was good.
He just would roll off like fifty nicknames. And I
bet people send me like long emails of nicknames, and
(24:26):
usually there's a couple in there. They're pretty good.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
It is the Ben Mahlor show the denial. We'll get
to that, and the most memorable first pitch in baseball
history happened. Wow, yes, of all time? Really yes, and
you missed it. You missed it. You missed it. So
I will explain what that is all about. But right now,
let's get you caught up on everything going on in
the overnight, and right over there we go with games
(24:52):
of note Garcia.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Yeah, well, before we get into the amazing NBA play
in action riveting. Apparently you and I will not get
our carpets cleaned. I went and searched for clean crew situation, Eddie.
I don't want to go search for the crew because
I thought, you know, top of the hour, the yeah
time come in here and do the update studio.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, there's a sign poster that said it made it
seem I read it and said that until six in
the morning. These guys were out of here in an
hour and at least, I mean I think, I think
they didn't make it an hour and a half. That's great.
Are they getting paid for the full night here? Good
for them. Work smarter, not harder, I guess.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
The funny thing also, take carpets for you and I
went to get the mail. We do have some mail
here which will box. Yeah, Coop came in here, he
sees a box. He works up. Was that there the pies?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Well, I know one of them. I know one of
them is cookies, homemade cookies. He said it was his
tracking said it was delivered last Friday. And I searched
everywhere on Friday and everywhere on day and it was
nowhere to be. Was it just it was just in
the like in ours.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
No, it wasn't there the other day. So it wasn't
here yesterday.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I mean the ones that you got today.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
It was it was down here. Yeah, yeah, it was
down here.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
All right, well we look forward to you.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's gonna be a big food night, fabulous scheme in
the box right now?
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Will I do this?
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Well, Loraina is a little concerned about the cookies. I
was worried.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Then you don't get any. I wasn't gonna homemade.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
You don't believe, well, she says, because it's been sitting
in the box for they're homemade.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
What I said, Well, you'll have Eddie's our guinea pig.
He'll eat it. He doesn't die. Oh yeah, Coop, you
do the guinea pig. Yeah, if you don't want no
cookies for you, that's what I'll just take my pie,
all right. See, I don't know. That's a big box
of pies. Our buddy, the fried Daddy hooking.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Us will open up that box of pies. We'll see
what happens.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Ben.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Speaking of baseball, we have an old guy passing away.
Familiar to you and me, maybe not others, but Whitey Herzog,
the former law white d right, former longtime manager in
the big leagues, most notably with the Saint Louis Cardinals,
led them to three National League pennants in eleven seasons,
eighty two World Series Champs, nineteen eighty five Manager of
(27:22):
the Year. Also managed for the Royals for a a few.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Years, managed the Angels for like five years. But people
remember from the Cardinals. Certainly there was a good rivalry
with the Mets in the eighties and the Dodgers. And uh,
it's funny because every time I think of white here,
I was friends with this old sportscaster named Stu Nahan
in LA.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Yeah, I remember Stu and Stu.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Did not like Whitey herz I don't know what happened,
but they did not like each other, and something must
have happened. I never got the story. They're both dead now,
so I guess I'll never get the story. But yeah,
and Whitey Herzog haunted Lasorda. Remember the eighty five year
old at the five Playoffs with Jack Clark, Oh yeah,
and the Cardinals they had they had a bunch of
(28:06):
guys that were slap hitters and speak guys, and then
they had one guy that could hit a bunch of
home runs in Jack class Smith, but everyone else was
a punch and Judy hitter.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
That carpet in Saint Louis or they ran a little
the one.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Hundred and seventy degrees in summer in Saint Louis. And yeah,
so white hears that also. Carl Erskine passed away at
the age of ninety seven.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Former Dodger the Boy.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah. He started the first ever game for the Los
Angeles Dodgers at the Coliseum in front of seventy eight
thousand people against the newly minted San Francisco Higantes. And
he was part of the Boys of some of the
last surviving member of that book, Boys of Summer, the
Brooklyn Dodgers back in the day, was friends with Jackie Robinson.
(28:50):
So Carl Urskin lived to be ninety seven, died in Indiana.
So it is the Ben Mahler Show. As we continue
a follow up to story we presented to you in
a previous episode of the show, Rory McElroy says that
report from the tabloids in London of an eight hundred
and fifty million dollars live golf check false. He says
(29:14):
he will play on the PGA Tour for the rest
of his career. He said he categorically denied the report
that he will join the Saudi backed Rebel Golf tournament.
So Roy McElroy is saying that is not true. What
do you think if they gave him one point six billion?
(29:36):
Would that get the job done? One point six billion?
There's got to be a price somewhere.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
No, I mean, how could the price not be eight
If it's eight to fifty, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, if that's legit, you take the eight to fifty right,
hell yes, and you say how much you love the
Saudi government and all right, let's go to salsa. Who
he travels all out. Maybe he's in his home base,
sat in the Dallas area. What's going on, Salsa, Big Ben.
Speaker 9 (30:03):

football season. I'm trying to get my body fat down
the single digits. I'm at thirteen percent. So no more
cupcakes for the crew.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
No, yeah, so am I I'm trying to get my
body body fat down. But you know, blow two percent?
Speaker 6 (30:27):
What does his body fat have to do with us?
Speaker 9 (30:30):
Hey, I will bring you guys some whenever I do

Speaker 6 (30:34):
I will.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
You're talking, hey, Ben. Sreeport, Louisiana. I went to massage
therapy school out there. It's a cool underrated city. I
think they have five casinos. It's pretty nice.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
This report, so it's like a vacation towns report. Is
that where people go for the vacation.
Speaker 9 (30:50):
A little bit. A lot of people from the Dallas area.
They take bus trips down there out there to the casinos.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Okay, I've never been I've never been this report and.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
A nice reference to the Times Square.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Oh you remember you remember Times Square? Man? Oh that
was Let me tell you. My brother moved there when
I was a kid. You know, I was in high
school and I went there and I was it was
an eye opening experience. Nudes, nudes, nudes, x x x everywhere.
It was wild.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
It went like that up until the mid nineties. That's
when they finally decided to clean it up.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Well didn't. The story I was told by my brother
was that like Disney bought, like time, pretty much all
the property in Times Square, like in.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
Order to have I'm not sure, but you can't believe
what you see now and think about what was there
in the past.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Oh yeah, people only like the young people have no
idea what it was like. It was, uh, you know,
it was interesting. It was the red light district. It
was yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
But Bet, I called you because I wanted to make
a wager with you on Clippers MAVs.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
If you want to lose, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (31:55):

All right, Pete, we'll make it. Well, fine, we'll make
a pizza bet.
Speaker 9 (32:00):
Do you like blaze or is there somewhere else that
you prefer.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
We'll figure that out at the later time. But I'm
pretty basic. I like the Mallard pizza, the gar like
the onion, the bell pepper. That's pretty much all I need.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
Okay, give me some red green peppers, jalapenos and ham.
Speaker 8 (32:15):

need an answer.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with the former Dodger second baseman,
Mark Grinzlanik.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Great, that is incorrect, Eddie. The correct answer, The Great
Caesar is tourist backing twenty oh three, twenty one years ago.
My god, twenty one years ago. Here we go.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
It's maller.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (35:46):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Grill man who desperately wants this to end so he
can get to the cookies. Kopolo.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Gino Smith told the media that Pete carroll firing was
quote a terrible moment that he will remember forever.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
He was tragic. Ben.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Do you think Pete Carroll's absence will make an impact
on the upcoming season for the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Uh No, because it's ultimately the players. Coaching does help
more in football than most sports. But the real reason
Geno Smith said this is because Pete Carroll was an
advocate for Geno Smith, and they've already traded for Sam
Howe in Seattle number two and number three. They're likely
going to draft a quarterback in next week's NFL draft,
(36:32):
so Gino Smith sees the riding on the wall. So
when Pete Carroll left, that was pretty much the beginning
of the end for Gino Smith. And Seattle. So that's
what that's really about.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Next, So, earlier in the show, you praised the Lakers
for not intentional of lousings.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I wouldn't say praise praise. I wouldn't say it was
a praise. I would say pray.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
An NBA analyst called out the Calves for intentionally avoiding
the number two seed by tanking the end of their
final game against the Hornets, and he called it reprehensible. Yeah, Ben,
do you think throwing games for seating purposes is reprehensis?
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Yes? I hate loads management. I hate throwing games. It
is the cowardly way to approach sport. Don't mess with
the basketball guys. And it's like in policies, you start
jerry mandering the schedule. It's ridiculous and inevitably you end
up with an ACL injury or some of the kind
of it's so stupid. You want to be the best,
(37:21):
you gotta beat the best.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Next, with Caleb Williams essentially a lock for the number
one pick, the drama essentially boils down to who will
be the who the commanders will take a number two
Benchould they go with Jayden Daniels or Drake may So.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I don't like even one of those guys, but I
like Drake may Less, So by process of elimination, I
would take Jaden Daniels, the old Arizona State Sun Devil
and LSU Baton Rouge talking. I wonder if Jaden Daniels
went to shreport probably did right on vacation or something
like that when he was in college in Baton Rouge.
But yeah, between those two, I would take Jaden Daniels.
(37:55):
But I mean, I can pick apart all these quarterbacks, Coop.
I don't see one of these guys that I'm convinced
is going to be that good in the NFL. Yeah,
Caleb Williams and is God knows what he's got going
on there with the pink panther and JJ McCarthy, who
hardly threw the ball at Michigan anyway. The point is,
these guys are all flawed. How did we do come up?
Speaker 5 (38:17):
Benny Passess right, like the cookies, right, the cookies,
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bird two, Our two
Ready to go. We head to Dallas. That Cowboys. How
about them Cowboys? Thumbs up er thumbs down. Does the
explanation from Jerry Jones' son on the dormant Dallas Cowboys
off season past the eye exam Also is Micah Parson
(00:24):
skipping the Cowboys voluntary offseason workouts a significant storyline? And
has Trevor Lawrence done enough to earn a massive Jags extension?
They have had conversations. We'll talk about that and more
right now here. It is our number two. It's all
part of the master plan. Just listen. Welcome. In the
(00:51):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We
are in the air everywhere BFFs as we catch some
audio waves coast stuck, coast, border, the border and beyond
on the mast and uncharacteristically powerful microphones of FSR emmating
(01:16):
live from your ears. You won't believe your ears as
we are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping. Free road has a protection and over
ten thousand recommended in starars truck or Joe almost drove
(01:41):
off the road. He couldn't believe there's that many tireraq
dot Com the way tire buying should.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Be.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
And our lead this out, we'll get back to the
roots of the show. We'll get back to football with
a wink at a nod to the Lakers beating the
pell in the Big easy and so they'll play the Nuggets.
So that means we won't watch the Lakers long in
the playoffs. They'll be out in the first round, which
is great. Love that and Golden State too old, washed up,
(02:13):
grumpy old men. They go down as Klay Thompson, what
a memorable performance. Zero for ten for Klay Thompson. He
had a shutout. He did not score scored as many
points as you did. So that's the NBA story. But
our lead this hour coming from the NFL. And here's why,
(02:33):
because that pays the power bill and we like to
have lights, and we have the lights on in these parts.
So Jerry Jones, good old Jerry, the sock puppet for
Jerry Jones, has spoke. Now this is not the official
State of the Union cowboy address because it didn't come
directly from Jerry Jones. But it came from the DNA
spawn of Jerry and address Dallas. We'll actually, you know, Cowboys,
(03:01):
cowboy World or what do they call Jerry's worth. So
if you didn't see this and perhaps not get to
the point, please Stephen Jones, the spawn of Jerry, confirmed
that the Cowboys are quote all in close quote for
the twenty twenty four regular season. But but Stephen Jones, well,
(03:21):
rather than me just tell you what he said, let's
go to the audio tip. Here's Stephen Jones explaining on
radio and Dallas what the plan is for the boys.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I think if you're not all in in this league,
you're all out. And I don't know of any of
the thirty two who aren't all in. And you know,
everybody can have their own definition of what that means.
But I've never not known us to be all in,
nor have I known anybody we compete against not to
be all in. It's you know, they have different strategies
(03:51):
as to what that means. We spend max max money
year in and year out. All thirty two can only
spend the same amount of money over a five year stretch,
and when we're all said and done, we max out
our salary cap every year and we will have we
will have done that. What comes with having a good roster,
(04:12):
which we do and you know we also uh you know,
are looking towards signing our own guys. It doesn't mean
it happens overnight, but when you're wanting to sign uh
players like dak and Micah and CD, then you have
to hold money back if you want to have a
realistic chance at signing those guys.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
All right, so it sounds like he just woke up
when he did that that interview. He rolled rolled over
in bed and picked up the phone, made the phone call. Fine,
So let me translate for those of that are not
paying attention. So Steven Jones, that's what you heard there,
confirming the Cowboys are all in h and said that
they need to hold money back to sign their players.
(04:53):
So clearly he mentioned he mentioned their names. He blames
the Cowboys lack of activity this offseason on Dakota Press,
Micah Parsons and see d Lamb. That's that's those are
his words. We played them, We played them for all right.
So let us discuss the question. You're gonna go thumbs
(05:14):
up or thumbs down? Does this explanation by Steven Jones
for the Dormant Cowboys offseason Pass the eye exam. So
I'm gonna go thumbs down on this. I'm going thumbs
down on this. I've got Jabberwocke, Hoover, and Times Square,
(05:36):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a breakfast burrito, which is
a I haven't seen those many places other than California
the breakfast burrito. I know those other I think in
Texas they have a lot of breakfast burritos, but in
California they love the breakfast burrito. So and that's just
like put fries and other crap in there. All right, So,
first of all, if you are someone listening to us
(06:00):
in Dallas or any Cowboy fan anywhere, forget Dalla. We're
not in Dallas, but who cares. If you believe what
Stephen Jones and Jerry Jones are selling, you are a
distant relative of Dumbo. Okay, what are you doing here?
I read the eye chart again. I know about eye charts.
I wear bifocals. Okay, this is classic chicanery by the
(06:24):
Dallas Cowboys every season. Jerry Jones, I've been doing this
job way too long. And every year I have done
a monologue about Jerry Jones making a statement after the
Cowboys are eliminated and before the NFL Draft about how
they're all in right. That is the you know what
that is. It's the default saying. You know, when you
(06:44):
get a new phone, there's a default setting, or your computer,
there's default setting in your laptop. That is the default
setting for Jerry Jones. With the hibernating that the Cowboys
have done this UF they haven't even done what they
normally where they washed up like washed up veterans. They
signed some washed up guy. They haven't even done that.
So Jerry's Cowboys are guilty of jabberwocky. They're selling nonsense,
(07:07):
is what they're saying. It is impossible. Let me repeat
for those in the background, it is impossible to go
all in if you're more concerned about saving money for
the Rainy Day slush fund to pay Dak Prescott, Micah
Parsons and CD Lamb so Dallas. Most of us know
that they are headed towards a seminal moment. They are
(07:29):
headed towards a seminal moment. And what is that seminal moment?
Dak Prescott is the wild card in all this, which
is appropriate because he normally loses in the wildcard run.
So Dak Prescott is the wild card. Will Jerry Jones
cave in? He hasn't caved in yet, hasn't done it yet.
Will he cave in? Now? I believe he will. I don't.
(07:49):
He shouldn't. I shouldn't. I believe ultimately Dak will get
a contract. He should not get a contract. Was the
playoff loss to the Packers, the embarrassment where the Cowboys
got pants by green Beeck? Was that enough to be
the tipping point? We're gonna find out right now. Jerry's
(08:10):
been okay, two of those three guys are gonna stay.
One of them will be one, now speaking, one of
those guys we stay in big D. Here, page two. Here,
I've read that Micah Parsons, he's a linebacker for the
Dallas cous Michael Parsons, he did not show up to
the voluntary workouts the Cowboys have started this week. And
(08:33):
that is they're saying this is not related to his contract.
It's not a contract situation, so the reporting is out
of Texas. They're claiming that Micah Parsons is simply doing
his own training program, a personalized training program specifically for
his needs, his wants and desires. All right, So is
(08:56):
Micah Parsons defensive start? He was compared to Lawrence Taylor
for two games last season, then he had to play
the rest. Do you remember him making a play in
the playoff game against the Packers, because I don't anyway, MICHAEH. Parsons.
Is this cat, Micah Parsons skipping the Cowboy voluntary offseason workouts?
Is it significant with what we now know? All right?
(09:19):
So I'm nodding my head yes on this one. I'm
nodding my head yes. And while it is technically voluntary,
and that is true, it is voluntary. When you're in
the position of Michael Parsons, things are a little different,
the stakes a little different. And this is what I
call a Hoover situation. And I'm not talking about Hoover, Alabama.
I'm talking about the Hoover vacuum or go. This story
(09:44):
exposes Micah Parsons and the leadership vacuum in Dallas. Michael
Parsons is supposed to be the face of the Dallas
Cowboys defense. He is supposed to be the leader that
inspires the team if you believe that crap. But he's
supposed to be that guy, right. Everyone tells me that
I rate everything online. They tell me how great Mike
is and all this wonderful stuff. He's the face of
(10:05):
the Cowboys. So am I wrong to think by not
showing up? That is the epitome for Michah Parsons of
putting yourself in front of the team, because I will
garreon effing to you. There are a bunch of other
guys that are at those voluntary workouts of the Cowboys
(10:26):
who don't want to be at those voluntary workouts of
the Dallas Cowboys, but they can't just sit home and
they would rather have personalized workouts. It's also Michael Parsons
taking a shot at the Dallas Cowboys training staff that
they cannot get him in the proper condition in the offseason,
that Michael Parsons needs to hire his hand picked personal trainer,
(10:47):
So he's taking a shot at Jerry Jones' training staff
as well. That's what we call a two for one,
the daily double for Michaeh. Parson's all right, final thought,
So we hop skip and jump to Duvall County just
have a guy named Angry Bill that called the show
from there, but he had a mental breakdown. I think
it seemed like he did. So he didn't call him
(11:07):
one uh but Duval County. So that is where Duval County.
That is where the Jacksonville football team plays when they're
not in London. And quarterback Trevor Lawrence, I know you're
very concerned about his four oh one K. So Trevor
Lawrence is in a position now he's eligible to receive
a Baffosaco contract extension, a hum danger of a contract extension.
(11:30):
So I know it's exciting for you. So he said
this week that he has had talks with the team.
He wants to stay in Jacksonville as long as he can,
but he said that the contract is not really his focus.
It's the boiler plate response when you ask these questions.
That's what you're supposed to say. I love the team,
(11:50):
I love the fans, but I'm not worried about it.
So has Trevor That's the opposite by the way of
Justin Jefferson is like, I want every dollar, not a
dimeback anyway. So has Trevor Lawrence done enough to earn
a massive Jaguar extension. So I'm gonna go no. I'm
(12:10):
mean use the same theory I use for Dak Prescott.
I'm gonna be consistent, which is rare in gas baggery.
But I look at the work of the quarterback in Jacksonville,
Trevor Lawrence, the same way I look at Dak Prescott.
A lot of emptiness, a lot of emptiness, not getting
it done in big moments and key moments. That's what
(12:31):
I look at, right. And So to answer the question,
has this cat Trevor Lawrence done enough to get a contract,
a new contract? I'm shaking my no on this one.
Trevor Lawrence to me watching him play, and I watched
way too much NFL, as we most of us do well.
Watching Trevor Lawrence, he reminds me of like a nineteen
(12:52):
seventies trip to Times Square in New York. He's a
peep show quarterback, right. You see a little glimpse here,
the little glimpse there, just enough to think that this
guy's gonna be great. But it's never consistent enough. There's
always a hitch in his giddy up here, or a
turn in the punch bowl over there with his Trevor Lawrence.
(13:14):
And we have seen these titillating flashes from Trevor Lawrence,
but the lack of consistency, well, who's going to get there?
How do you know he's gonna get How do you
know it? And he certainly regrets that we can all
agree on that. In twenty twenty three, Sam Howell, who
was fired by the Washington Commanders, he was sent out
to Southern Alaska's Jimmy Johnson famously called Seattle. In the trade.
(13:35):
Sam Howell had as many touchdown passes as Trevor Lawrence
last season. Now, I didn't play in the NFL. That
doesn't seem good to me. That doesn't seem particularly good
to me. Lawrence also finished in the top ten in
interceptions that I have sixth overall in interceptions, and he
just mainly did not rise to the occasion. Now full disclosure.
One of the main reasons I have taken a strong
(13:56):
no extension position for Trevor Lawrence is if you watched
any of the maiden voyage of Benny Versus the Penny
this past season. I put my neck out on Jacksonville
being legit on a nationally syndicated cable television and he
made me look like an absolute donkey Trevor Lawrence, so
(14:18):
I've not forgiven it. I do like to hold a grudge.

the Loop, Justin Cooper, and he's at u H Bronco
cob coming a Bronco fan at I'll Live from the
Tyround dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Late Night drug Test. Writes in He says Stephen Jones
has a lot to learn from the old man. Using
poker terms isn't as entertaining as talking about glory hole
and mosquito circumcision. That is true. The sequel is not
the equal and we know how that works, right. The
sequel is not the equal, and so Stephen Jones at
(16:32):
some point Jerry's gonna move on past the pearly gates,
and then Stephen Jones will take over fully and God
only knows what's gonna happen, because look at the Yankees
with Steinbrenner when he passed away. The Yankees have been
a playoff team most of the time, but they don't
have the same edge. It's not the same right then,
that they don't have the same gusto that they had
(16:52):
back back in those days. We'll go to the phones.
We'll say hello to eeny meenie miney bow. Let's say

with the NBA. You know here professionally and sports, but
in an NBA What do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Ben Meller, I didn't think about it. You're you're you're
not in my head. I didn't edit not think about.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Oh really, yeah, okay, because I thought you were gonna
bet against me. So if that makes you would have gone.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
No, I did not bet against you. I rarely bet
on the NBA. I don't got you. Yeah, because it's
a bad product, and I don't. I don't I want
to lose my money on stuff. I know I lose
my money well enough on games. I know. I don't
want to. You know the problem with the NBA is
he listen these guys. You know, I imagine if you
(17:56):
had been on the Pelicans and you're you're sitting pretty
there with the Pelicans had a lead in the final
three and a half minutes and then zion I got
a boo boo, and that's it.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
You lose the better Well, you know, as I told you,
my favorite rep was right there, Scott Foster, and I
told you guys that Lakers had to win and go
on to the next round. I kind of predicted it wrong.
I thought it was going to be in the Kings game.
But it's all right tomorrow. There's uh, there's good games
actually today end up playing.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And I want to know if those are good games
that I would use the G word on those games.
They're they're games, they're games. I don't know if they're
good games. That's a bold statement to say good.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Well, I'm a big NBA fan, Bet Manner, and I'll
tell you what. The only good game on the board,
and I'm going to give you guys, a free pick
right here on the bed.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
All a free pick, lucky any Normally people pay in
ninety nine dollars to these picks, but Poppy's giving is amazing.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Yes, and you guys, and you guys can say me
if you want to say more than depth on picking
with Pompy and YouTube. But Miami Heat and the seventy
six ers, and I got news for you guys. There's
a lot of players are going to be out in
the Miami Heat. The best team is the seventy six ers.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I don't know what's the pick? What's the pick?
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Well, my pick is this Joel Embiida is gonna be
the way?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Wait wait, wait, wait, time out. You don't even know
what the line is? What kind of handicaper are you?
That most important thing is the line? How do you
know where the line is? That's what that's where you
get the value the line.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Yes, matter. But if I were a team, I was
gonna break this down and you're gonna come around.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Oh, I gotta do your work for you. How dare you?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
There? You go?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I recommend express employment professionals. All right, they'll hook you up.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
But no, no, I am a professional.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Matter.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
But all right, I'll give you a damn line. The
Sixers open the four point favorite at home. They are
a five point favorite over the butler Jimmy Buff.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Yes, yeah, and I will take the line right now
minus five guys, because Joel Embida is going to be playing,
and once they say the official news before the game
of the games at four, like two hours before.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
In San Diego it's at four o'clock, but where most
of the people live is at seven o'clock on these Yeah, that's.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
That's true, Ben Maller. So take the seventy six ers
right now with Joel Embiid, and.
Speaker 1 (20:11):

Speaker 8 (21:43):
You can be a big fish in a small pondit Treeport.
It's amazing. Well.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
One of my good friends who used to work here,
Chris Landry, well, it was a good friend. I haven't
talked to him in years, but he lives in Baton Rouge.
Big bath Time actually a fun.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Fact on the radio station I'm listening on, Larry King
and George Carlin used to work on it years ago.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh is that right there? You go? All right, well
you want I can. I can do a story time
afew on. I got stories about George. I got stories
about a lot of dead people. George Carlin used to
call into local LA radio when he was at the
peak of his comedy career as George from Venice. He
would call up and talk sports, and he never said
he was George carl And he was just we knew
(22:21):
off the air who he was. George from Venice.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
He used to call up, So I have a story
for you.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Oh, a story. We're trading stories. This is great, all right.
I gave a story, you give a story. Go ahead.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
So my great aunt used to date Willis Reid the NBA.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Now I did not have that on my Bengo card.
So Willis Reid, the Willis Reid game.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
Yeah, he used to date my great aunt and Grambling
years ago, and my aunt she had she was telling
the story how she and Willis Reid were great friends.
And I investigated some more. So I saw Willis Reid
along with Shaq Harris, who played quarterback for the Rams
many years ago. We were sitting at a high school
basketball game in Louisiana, and I asked, well, was read like, hey,
mister Willis, do you know my aunt? I gave her name.
(23:04):
He's like, oh yeah, years ago.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Oh he remembered her. That's impressive. Okay, okay, she must
have made her mark known to Willis. Oh yeah, all right,
the very talent today. Yeah, absolutely, all right. Well, Chris said,
you've broken You've broken the ice, so that means you
can the waters are clear going forward now? All right?
(23:28):
Oh really strong emotion. All right, thank you, Chris, all right,
big fan, you got good pipes, right, Chris.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I'm disappointed I didn't get a chance to ask Chris
if he covers the Shreeport Mudbugs.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Well, Chris is gonna call again.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Minor league hockey team down there in.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
The rule is, Chris, I know you're still listening. The
rule is, if you keep calling, we've got to give
you a goofy nickname. One call doesn't get a nickname,
two calls doesn't get a nickname. Three calls we think
about a nickname, and you don't get to pick your
own nick name. We have to approve of your nickname.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
And so that's can't do a Kobe and call yourself
Mamba black Mamba.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
No, I can't. I can't do it. And just for
the record, my nicknames didn't come up with them. People
gave him to me. Most of them came from Richard
the Racehorse, this guy that used to call from Detroit,
but I don't know what happened, and he was good.
He just would roll off like fifty nicknames. And I
bet people send me like long emails of nicknames, and
(24:26):
usually there's a couple in there. They're pretty good.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
It is the Ben Mahlor show the denial. We'll get
to that, and the most memorable first pitch in baseball
history happened. Wow, yes, of all time? Really yes, and
you missed it. You missed it. You missed it. So
I will explain what that is all about. But right now,
let's get you caught up on everything going on in
the overnight, and right over there we go with games
(24:52):
of note Garcia.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Yeah, well, before we get into the amazing NBA play
in action riveting. Apparently you and I will not get
our carpets cleaned. I went and searched for clean crew situation, Eddie.
I don't want to go search for the crew because
I thought, you know, top of the hour, the yeah
time come in here and do the update studio.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, there's a sign poster that said it made it
seem I read it and said that until six in
the morning. These guys were out of here in an
hour and at least, I mean I think, I think
they didn't make it an hour and a half. That's great.
Are they getting paid for the full night here? Good
for them. Work smarter, not harder, I guess.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
The funny thing also, take carpets for you and I
went to get the mail. We do have some mail
here which will box. Yeah, Coop came in here, he
sees a box. He works up. Was that there the pies?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Well, I know one of them. I know one of
them is cookies, homemade cookies. He said it was his
tracking said it was delivered last Friday. And I searched
everywhere on Friday and everywhere on day and it was
nowhere to be. Was it just it was just in
the like in ours.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
No, it wasn't there the other day. So it wasn't
here yesterday.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I mean the ones that you got today.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
It was it was down here. Yeah, yeah, it was
down here.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
All right, well we look forward to you.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's gonna be a big food night, fabulous scheme in
the box right now?
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Will I do this?
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Well, Loraina is a little concerned about the cookies. I
was worried.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Then you don't get any. I wasn't gonna homemade.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
You don't believe, well, she says, because it's been sitting
in the box for they're homemade.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
What I said, Well, you'll have Eddie's our guinea pig.
He'll eat it. He doesn't die. Oh yeah, Coop, you
do the guinea pig. Yeah, if you don't want no
cookies for you, that's what I'll just take my pie,
all right. See, I don't know. That's a big box
of pies. Our buddy, the fried Daddy hooking.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Us will open up that box of pies. We'll see
what happens.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Ben.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Speaking of baseball, we have an old guy passing away.
Familiar to you and me, maybe not others, but Whitey Herzog,
the former law white d right, former longtime manager in
the big leagues, most notably with the Saint Louis Cardinals,
led them to three National League pennants in eleven seasons,
eighty two World Series Champs, nineteen eighty five Manager of
(27:22):
the Year. Also managed for the Royals for a a few.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Years, managed the Angels for like five years. But people
remember from the Cardinals. Certainly there was a good rivalry
with the Mets in the eighties and the Dodgers. And uh,
it's funny because every time I think of white here,
I was friends with this old sportscaster named Stu Nahan
in LA.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Yeah, I remember Stu and Stu.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Did not like Whitey herz I don't know what happened,
but they did not like each other, and something must
have happened. I never got the story. They're both dead now,
so I guess I'll never get the story. But yeah,
and Whitey Herzog haunted Lasorda. Remember the eighty five year
old at the five Playoffs with Jack Clark, Oh yeah,
and the Cardinals they had they had a bunch of
(28:06):
guys that were slap hitters and speak guys, and then
they had one guy that could hit a bunch of
home runs in Jack class Smith, but everyone else was
a punch and Judy hitter.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
That carpet in Saint Louis or they ran a little
the one.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Hundred and seventy degrees in summer in Saint Louis. And yeah,
so white hears that also. Carl Erskine passed away at
the age of ninety seven.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Former Dodger the Boy.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah. He started the first ever game for the Los
Angeles Dodgers at the Coliseum in front of seventy eight
thousand people against the newly minted San Francisco Higantes. And
he was part of the Boys of some of the
last surviving member of that book, Boys of Summer, the
Brooklyn Dodgers back in the day, was friends with Jackie Robinson.
(28:50):
So Carl Urskin lived to be ninety seven, died in Indiana.
So it is the Ben Mahler Show. As we continue
a follow up to story we presented to you in
a previous episode of the show, Rory McElroy says that
report from the tabloids in London of an eight hundred
and fifty million dollars live golf check false. He says
(29:14):
he will play on the PGA Tour for the rest
of his career. He said he categorically denied the report
that he will join the Saudi backed Rebel Golf tournament.
So Roy McElroy is saying that is not true. What
do you think if they gave him one point six billion?
(29:36):
Would that get the job done? One point six billion?
There's got to be a price somewhere.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
No, I mean, how could the price not be eight
If it's eight to fifty, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, if that's legit, you take the eight to fifty right,
hell yes, and you say how much you love the
Saudi government and all right, let's go to salsa. Who
he travels all out. Maybe he's in his home base,
sat in the Dallas area. What's going on, Salsa, Big Ben.
Speaker 9 (30:03):

you sent that olt. I own Mariano Duncan. I got
a hit off of him World Series Champion, Mariano Duncan
(35:12):
at at Dodger Stadium. Got to hit off him back
in the day. And no more. Garcia Parr from h L.
Jose Viscayano. There's another good game name from Chris in
Des Moines. Eddie, do you have an answer? Eddie? I
need an answer.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with the former Dodger second baseman,
Mark Grinzlanik.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Great, that is incorrect, Eddie. The correct answer, The Great
Caesar is tourist backing twenty oh three, twenty one years ago.
My god, twenty one years ago. Here we go.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
It's maller.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (35:46):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Grill man who desperately wants this to end so he
can get to the cookies. Kopolo.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Gino Smith told the media that Pete carroll firing was
quote a terrible moment that he will remember forever.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
He was tragic. Ben.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Do you think Pete Carroll's absence will make an impact
on the upcoming season for the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Uh No, because it's ultimately the players. Coaching does help
more in football than most sports. But the real reason
Geno Smith said this is because Pete Carroll was an
advocate for Geno Smith, and they've already traded for Sam
Howe in Seattle number two and number three. They're likely
going to draft a quarterback in next week's NFL draft,
(36:32):
so Gino Smith sees the riding on the wall. So
when Pete Carroll left, that was pretty much the beginning
of the end for Gino Smith. And Seattle. So that's
what that's really about.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Next, So, earlier in the show, you praised the Lakers
for not intentional of lousings.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I wouldn't say praise praise. I wouldn't say it was
a praise. I would say pray.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
An NBA analyst called out the Calves for intentionally avoiding
the number two seed by tanking the end of their
final game against the Hornets, and he called it reprehensible. Yeah, Ben,
do you think throwing games for seating purposes is reprehensis?
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Yes? I hate loads management. I hate throwing games. It
is the cowardly way to approach sport. Don't mess with
the basketball guys. And it's like in policies, you start
jerry mandering the schedule. It's ridiculous and inevitably you end
up with an ACL injury or some of the kind
of it's so stupid. You want to be the best,
(37:21):
you gotta beat the best.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Next, with Caleb Williams essentially a lock for the number
one pick, the drama essentially boils down to who will
be the who the commanders will take a number two
Benchould they go with Jayden Daniels or Drake may So.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I don't like even one of those guys, but I
like Drake may Less, So by process of elimination, I
would take Jaden Daniels, the old Arizona State Sun Devil
and LSU Baton Rouge talking. I wonder if Jaden Daniels
went to shreport probably did right on vacation or something
like that when he was in college in Baton Rouge.
But yeah, between those two, I would take Jaden Daniels.
(37:55):
But I mean, I can pick apart all these quarterbacks, Coop.
I don't see one of these guys that I'm convinced
is going to be that good in the NFL. Yeah,
Caleb Williams and is God knows what he's got going
on there with the pink panther and JJ McCarthy, who
hardly threw the ball at Michigan anyway. The point is,
these guys are all flawed. How did we do come up?
Speaker 5 (38:17):
Benny Passess right, like the cookies, right, the cookies,
