Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
The curtain goes up. Are you exciting? You're not excited.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's not really the playoffs. It's something like the playoffs.
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Birds of a feather as we are where fun meets
audio unless we're not co stuck cost border to border
and beyond on the mast and unmeasurably powerful microphones of
fs are ammundating live from the side the other side
(01:14):
of the tracks. We're broadcasting live from the tier rac
dot com studios. Ti rac dot com will help you
get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars. Double
ow Mexican a San Diego says, that's a lot tire
rack dot Com the way tire buying should be. And
(01:39):
if you're not a fan of pro bouncy ball, you're
probably not gonna like the next couple of months. I'm
warning you right now, there's a certain cadence. These NBA
playoffs go on for not just a couple months. I
think they're going for the next twelve years.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Sometime.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I think we'll all be a couple years older by
the time the NBA playoffs began.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Now this is not the playoffs, but our lead.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Is from pro bouncy ball, and we're talking hoops.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Not the regular season, not the regular season, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And not the postseason, not the postseason, something in between,
a glitch in the matrix. If you will not know
if you watched any of this, I assume not many
people did.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I watched it. Do not worry.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We were watching this sitting on our ass here watching
these games.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
It's our good mitzvah of the day.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And we start in the Bayou, the shores of the
Mighty Mississippi in Louisiana, and that is where Lebron Lebron
James had twenty three points, nine rebounds, and nine assists
and a partridge in a par tree. The Lakers, who
blew an eighteen point lead, actually trailed in the final
few minutes of the game, but they end up beating
(02:48):
the Pelicans, and so they are in the playoffs to
LA advancing. They're the number seven seed and that means
a date with the Rocky Mountain Oysters in Colorado as
they are headed to Denver a playoff matchup against the
reigning champions of the NBA, much to the chagrin of
a number of pundits, including Reggie Miller, who during the
(03:11):
broadcast questioned whether or not there should have been some
intentionally missed foul shots to give the game or at
least give the Pelicans a chance to win the game
in the final second. And Reggie Miller not alone, a
number of hoopeads who get paid plausibly to talk about
basketball wanted the Lakers to throw this game and were upset.
(03:32):
You could tell some of the commentary. They're upset that
the Lakers won this game and annoyed by it because
now that means if the Lakers have, like you said, loss,
they would have played Oklahoma City instead.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
As we mentioned, they're heading to the Rocky Mountain.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So let us discuss the question did Lebron's Lakers screw up?
Did they screw up by beating the Pelicans to match
up with the Nuggets? Did they f this up? So
my answer this is going to shock you. I do
not believe they screwed up. I don't I don't believe
they screwed up at all. I'm shaking my head. No,
(04:08):
they did not screw up. I've got Rick Flair, Royal Caribbean,
and cockpit, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to make a smell that is
in the air. This making my nose run when I
came into the building here, And it's not the skunk
that usually is in here. Something else. All right now,
I'll explain more later. So let me expand on my
(04:30):
position here. It's an unorthodox position if you've heard my
work over the years here, but I do not believe
that the Lakers have a prayer of beating the Nuggets,
like Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray would have to collide
into each other and go cut boom.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
For the Nuggets to lose to the Lakers. So that
is true, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
And and yet I believe they did the right thing
by winning the game and trying.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
To win the game against New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Now there's a bit of a asterisk that we'll get
to in a second, but both of those things are
simultaneously true. That you try to win the game, you
play to win the game, and at the same time
you attempt to not avoid playing a team because oh,
you can't beat the Nuggets. That's a loser's attitude, right.
(05:28):
So I will give the rare and somewhat appropriate credit
to the Lakers for winning this game. However, the credit
is subdued because I truly believe watching this game that
the switch had been flipped in the fourth quarter and
the Lakers were trying to lose the game. I believe
they were trying to lose the game. With about three
(05:50):
three and a half minutes ago, New Orleans had the lead,
and then it was snap crackle pot little Rice Crispi's
for Zion Williamson. But in the more words of Rick Flair,
I learned as a little boy from Rick Flair to
be the man. You've got to beat the man. Right now,
the man is the Denver Nuggets. So you can't go
into their scared and all that stuff. So manipulating the
(06:12):
schedule is saucy.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It's weak. Sauce is what it is.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So I liked it, even though they didn't try to
do it a little bit at the end they didn't work,
and Zion said, hold my beer. And speaking of that,
that's page two here as we take it, look back
at this first night of the western side of the
bracket on the play in which is not a playoff
and not the regular season. It's somewhere else out in
(06:37):
the wild blue yonder. So Zion Willilson, that's a very
large basketball player.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
He likes to eat.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Zion was having an extraordinary, a masterpiece performance in this
Fugese playing game. Before he had to exit. He had
in the locker room exiting stage left, oh my aching
lagged legs now shams or better known as shams by
(07:05):
Charles Barkley. There and Tat says that the hammy went
whammy for Zion. So how do you classify Zion Williamson
having an amazing statistical performance and yet leaving the play
in game early. So this was for Zion. I call
it the Royal Caribbean. Now why do I call it
(07:27):
the Royal Caribbean. The reason I called the Royal Caribbean
all inclusive. It was on brand. Zion had forty points.
He had like ten points, I mean every quarter something
like that. It was the first three I know, he
had at least ten in every quarter. Ended up with
eleven rebounds and then abra cadabra holcus polkis presto. He
(07:49):
vanished at the end. Now the reporter is a hammy.
They said, legs soreness. There'll be more tests. They might
have to amputate the leg I don't know. But Zion
Williamson is another example. Here's a guy, it's a fraud.
He looks like a mack truck, but he plays like
a mister softy truck, meaning he vanishes.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Maybe there's something in New Orleans. And they had Anthony
Davis in.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
New Orleans for a long time, and I don't know
what that was. But Anthony Davis, listen, he is same act,
the same act, last word here. So we now pivot
to the home of the Cowbells. We go to the
Cowbells sack Town, the capital of California. And boy, those
(08:30):
politicians in California doing a great job state. It's never
been better if you're homeless, come on in, get a
bunch of stuff. Anyway, So that aside, not much drum here.
I was gonna lead with this game, and I thought, well,
not really, not anything to talk about. The game was over,
Sacramento kept Golden State at arms length. Chiegan Murray an
(08:51):
Old Iowah Hawka thirty two points. De Aaron Fox had
twenty four. There were guys I've never heard of that
were knocking down moneyball. Sacramento was one of the worst
teams in the NBA to close the regular season, and
it didn't matter. The Kings ran the Warriors out of
the building. They mopped the floor with the once proud Warriors,
a beat down situation. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
(09:15):
Sacramento now will play now Leans in a matchup that
television executives are ready to jump out of buildings over
because no one's gonna be watching that game. But New
Orleans and Sacramento in the Friday game, the winner will
play OKC. Can you imagine Sacramento and Oklahoma City or
either combination is a terrible television combination. They're gonna get
(09:38):
one of those. But I don't work in television. I
kind of do it, but not on that. I don't
care about that. I don't work for the NBA. So anyway,
the better story, though is you know where it's in
the losing locker room, and that is where we will
begin because that is where Golden State was excommunicated from
the postseason. And the story here don't bear the lead.
Mo Man I probably did. But Klay Thompson. You know
(10:02):
what kind of house Klay Thompson is. He's a brick house.
That's what're gonna have. My god, this is his showcase
performance entering the free agent marketplace. His contract is up
with Golden State. Klay Thompson. He went out. If he
was a pitcher for the Giants, he would have pitched
a shutout. Klay Thompson went out. He had a tort special.
(10:23):
He sucked at a time you cannot suck. Clay Thompson
scored as many points as blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan
and inca terror. He's also blind combine combine zero points.
Took ten shots, obviously missed every one of them over ten.
(10:44):
So let's get to the heel of monster in the room.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
The Warriors.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
They are at the proverbial fork in the road. What
do they do with Klay Thompson, and what do they
do with Klay Thompson's friends. We assume Steph Curry will stay,
but what do they do with these other guys. So
we have activated as a public service to our friends
all over northern California. We've activated now the Mallard think tank.
So we turned on the malth think there. So the
(11:09):
advice here is rather obvious. It is time to hit
the road, jack right, and for Klay Thompson, you say,
Clay listen has been great. We'll kiss your ass right
when we're back sucking you know, a couple of years
from now, We'll give you a statue, we'll retire your number,
we'll give up bobbleheads, we'll kiss your ass when we
want to sell tickets, and we'll bring you back right
(11:31):
and we'll give out any kind of clay tops or
approach you. But we got to get rid of you.
So don't let the door hit you. Where the good
Lord's split you will be the advice there. Enter the cockpit.
Clay's got to go right in that cockpit and enter
the transfer portal. He's known as the Sea Captain. He
likes to take the boat across the bay there to
the Warriors games. With that the slow boat. He's on
(11:51):
a slow boat out of the bay, and I gotta
tell you the Warriors, it is time to say asta
la vista to Draymond Green is And I got the vibe.
I was watching in the back here. I was trying
to hide from everyone. I was watching on my phone
because I couldn't get it on the TV. So I
don't know how to turn the TV's because I don't
know the right remote control, so I had to watch.
(12:12):
But I was watching the Steph Curry News comes to date.
I got the vibe that Curry is ready to just
cut the court, and that's the right move. Draymond Green
at this point is an all star podcaster. Okay, he's
not an all star player. The reason that Golden State
was in this fugasey playing thing was because Draymond Green
could not keep his hands to himself and got suspended
(12:35):
and they lost a bunch of games, and so that's why.
And Klay Thompson's old.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
But just get rid of both, Just get rid of
all of them. I don't think you can get rid
of Clay.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You can't get rid of Steph Curry because you got
to you gotta sell some tickets, and those tickets are expensive,
and those executive, those tech executives in the Bay Area
aren't gonna buy the tickets just to watch the other team.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
So you gotta keep Steph Curry. But you can trade
Draymond Green. Trade him to a.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Team I don't know, the Knickerbocker, somebody like that would
take Raymond Green. You'd probably get some decent return on investment.
But it's just time. I was reading stories before the
game that we're pumping the tires up on Klay Thompson,
how great he was playing to end the regular season,
he had an epiphany and all that, and I was like,
oh my god. He looked just he had like.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
One leg, couldn't move, couldn't make any It was just terrible,
just dreadful.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Do not let a falling star fall on you, and
the Warriors have let multiple falling stars fall right on
top of them. I don't even know if Steve Kerr
comes back, he's gonna coach the Olympics. There is a
dimension here where Steve Kerr ends up leaving the Warriors. Also,
he says, I don't want to be here. We're gonna
have Steph Curry and the Seven Dwarfs out there. I
(13:49):
don't want I'm gonna go snow white. I don't want that.

in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
BFFs, as we catch some audio waves coast stun coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and uncharacteristically powerful
microphone of FSR emating live from your ears.
Speaker 3 (15:06):

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Starars truck or Joe almost drove off the road.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
He couldn't believe there's that many tire raq dot com
the way tire buying should be. And our lead this
hot we'll get back to the roots.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Of the show.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We'll get back to football with a wink at a
nod to the Lakers beating the Pels 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 to Old Washington up, grumpy old men.
They go down as Klay Thompson, what a memorable performance.
(16:07):
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, 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,
(16:32):
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. Well, actually,
you know, Cowboys, Cowboy World or whatever they call Jerry's world.
So if you didn't see this and perhaps not get
(16:52):
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 Steven Jones, well,
rather than me just tell you what he said, let's
go to the audio tip. Here's Stephen Jones explaining on
(17:14):
radio in Dallas what the plan is for the Boys.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
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
(17:38):
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,
(17:59):
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 and Micah and CD, then you
have to hold money back if you want to have
a realistic chance at signing those guys.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
All right, so it sounds like he just woke up
when he did that that interview. He rolled over in
bed and picked up the phone, made the phone call.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
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 UH and said that
they need to hold money back to sign their players.
So clearly he mentioned he mentioned their names. He blames
the Cowboys lack of activity this offseason on Dakota Prescott,
(18:47):
Micah Parsons and C. D.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Lamb. That's that's his those are his words. We played them,
We played them right.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
So let us discuss the question to go thumbs 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, and
(19:24):
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.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I know those other I think in.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
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
in Dallas or any Cowboy fan anywhere, forget Dalla. We're
not in Dallas, but who cares. If you believe what
Steven Jones and Jerry Jones are selling, you are a
(19:59):
distant relative of Dumbo.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Okay, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I read the eye chart. Again, I know about eye charts.
I wear bifocals. Okay, this is classic chicanery by the
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 in before the NFL Draft about
(20:26):
how they're all in right, that is the you know
what that is.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
It's the default saying.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You know, when you 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.
(20:53):
It's they're selling nonsense, is what they're saying. It is impossible.
Let me repeat for those in the background, it is
impossible to go all 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
(21:15):
seminal moment. They are 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?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Now? I believe he will. I don't. He shouldn't, right, shouldn't.
I believe ultimately.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Dak will get a contract? He should not get a contract.
Was the playoff loss to the Packers, the embarrassment where
the Cowboys got pantsed by Greenback? Was that enough to
be the tipping point? We're gonna find out right now,
Jerry's been okay, two of those three guys gonna stay.
One of them will be gone. Now, speaking on one of
(22:01):
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
that is they're saying as is not related to his contract.
(22:23):
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
Micah parsons defensive start? He was compared to Lawrence Taylor
(22:46):
after 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,
Micah Parsons, Is this cat, Micah Parsons skipping the Cowboy
voluntary offseason works?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Is it significant with what we now know? All right?
So I'm nodding my head yes on this one. I'm
nodding my head yes.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
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 are 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 exposes Micah Parsons and
(23:34):
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 rid everything online. They tell
me how great Mike is and all this wonderful stuff.
He is the face of the Cowboys. So am I
(23:54):
wrong to think by not showing up? That is the
hitting me for Micah 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 who don't want to
be at those voluntary workouts of the Dallas Cowboys, but
(24:18):
they can't just sit home and they would rather have
personalized workouts. It's also Michaeh Parson's taking a shot at
the Dallas Cowboys training staff that they cannot get him
in the proper condition in the offseason, that Michaeh Parsons
needs to hire his hand picked personal trainer. So he's
taking a shot at Jerry Jones training staff as well.
That's what we call a two for one, the daily
(24:39):
double for Michah Parson's all right, final thought, So we
hop skip and jump to Duval County. We used to
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
one but Duval County. So that is where Duval County.
That is where the Jacksonville football team plays when they're
(25:00):
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.
So I know it's exciting for you. So he said
(25:20):
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.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Not really his focus. It's the boilerplate response when you
ask these questions, that's what you're supposed to say.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I love the team, 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
(25:56):
gonna go no. I mean, it's 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
(26:17):
and key moments. That's what I look at, all 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 had no on this one. Trevor Lawrence
to me watching him play, and I watched way too
much NFL, as we most of us do.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Watching Trevor Lawrence, he reminds me of like a nineteen
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 and his giddy up here or a
(26:57):
turn in the punch bowl over there with his Trevor Lawrence.
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
(27:18):
to Southern Alaska's Jimmy Johnson famously called Seattle. In the trade,
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
(27:38):
just mainly did not rise to the occasion. Now full disclosure.
One of the main reasons I have taken a strong
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
(28:01):
made me look like an absolute donkey, Trevor Lawrence, So
I've not forgiven it.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I do like to hold the grudge.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It's Mallard, how about that?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
To the third degree, This is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Grail man who desperately wants this to end so he
can get to the cookies.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Kupolu.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Gino Smith told the media that Pete Carroll's firing was
quote a terrible moment that he will remember forever.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It was tragic. Ben.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Do you think Pete Carroll's absence will make an impact
on the upcoming season for the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
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 Gino Smith and they've already traded for Sam
Howe in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Number two and number three.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
They're likely going to draft a quarterback in next week's
NFL draft. 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 in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
So that's what that's really about.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Next, So, earlier in the show, you praised the Lakers
for not intentional losings.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I wouldn't say praise praise. I wouldn't say it was
a praise.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
I would say 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 reprehensible?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
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.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
You want to be the best, you gotta beat the best.
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
Ben should to go with Jayden Daniels or Drake may So.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
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.
(30:25):
But I mean, I can pick apart all these quarterbacks.
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.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
How did we do come up?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Benny Passa's right, like the cookies, like the cookies.

got the advice, relationship advice.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
This is massive, dude, these pies.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Going down anyways, Okay, let's get into some love talk.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Okay, our listeners need it. The think they're very important.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
They're floundering over here. They have no idea what to
do with themselves.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
You you already present the question. See you Yeah, I
can do that.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
You can answer. You're you're the expert. You know, I'm
not ferg dog, says Lorena. He used the hashtag Queen
of Hearts? Is it okay to cheat? If you're positive,
she'll never find out about it.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
A lot of people think like that, they really do,
and at the end of the day.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
People always find out. They always find out.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
So if you're okay with you know, owning up to
it one day or just being a liar for the
rest of your life, Yeah, you can cheat.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Go for it.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Wow, go for it for dog all right? Inka Terror
writes in from New York. He says, how can I
weed out women who are only in love with my
musical talent?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah? He's a classically trained musician.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Oh that is hard because you know, you have to
find someone who doesn't know that you play music, but
you should want them to fall in love with that
part of you.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
That's that's like the main part.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Right, Inca Terra, Just tell the women you're like, uh, like,
I don't know a truck driver.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
It's not like they're marrying you for your money? Can
you really be offended?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Although he would up for him to say he was
a truck driver because he's blind, so that'd be a
little difficult. Are think they have a self driving cars now?
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Right?
Speaker 7 (33:07):
They really do?
Speaker 6 (33:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (33:08):
He could probably get around pretty easy. What else we got?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Double O Mexican in San Diego has a question. He says,
what is your advice for dipping your pen in the company?
Speaker 8 (33:20):
Inc Ah you know, some people don't like to do that.
But I think work is a great place to meet people.
I don't know, I don't think it should be like
too close, but like, if you meet someone at work
and you have a great connection, are who are you
to say?
Speaker 6 (33:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
They do say, though, Lar, you're not supposed to fish
off the company pier.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Yes they yes, they say that.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
That's the dumbest thing of all time. You know how
many like married couples met at work facts a lot.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I would say the people who say those things are
probably the bosses because they don't want you.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Remember, they're messing around on company till the Celtics coach
Im Udoka a couple of years ago, this guy.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Was uh he was married, Yeah, all right, just like
he was looking up with.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I think the person who was hooking up with was
married also, I believe so scandalous. That is scandless Does
that Danny go on here at Fox Sports Radio like
that is it?
Speaker 3 (34:11):
We know?
Speaker 5 (34:12):
I mean there have been some there have been intern
situations in the oh really, Oh.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Yeah, yeah, there's been lots of love in this building.
I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
I'm sure I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I don't know you did a definition of love. I
mean that's open to interpretation. I don't know that love
is the right thing.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Uh, friendship, special friendship? Yes? Yeah, the King Rory rights someboy.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
This is the interesting question, he says, Is there a
way to tell if someone is, I guess, batting for
the other team while trying to find a a mate,
a heterosexual mate.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
That seems bizarre to me.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I think that most it's very hard to hide that, really, right,
Did you.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Need to hide that anymore in these days? Well, it
depends where you live at.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
I guess I'm pretty open about it.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
In La not so much, but in other places.
Speaker 8 (35:07):
Yeah, I think you can usually get a feel for it, though,
and if you can't, you probably can't pick up on
regular signs in general.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
So just work on that.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, okay, all right, Adam Apple, Adam you know the
Adam Apple. Yeah, these days doesn't matter anymore? Optional late
night drug tests. He said this a while ago, but
this is still relevant, says, with the prices of fast
food skyrocketing, can we now consider it an expensive meal
for a day? This is a great question, because I'm
back in the day. Don't know if it's like this today,
(35:34):
but I'm not in the game anymore. But back in
the day, it was like, you know, you got to
spend a certain amount of money. You can whine and
dine and you get a value meal. It's like fifteen
to twenty bucks at a lot of these places.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
These days, I think it's more about the effort not
the price. So if you're taking your girl to McDonald's
because you have a thirty dollars budget, I mean, that's fine.
You can go get tacos from a taco car. I
think that would go better.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I think the move there and I want to touch
up your work would be the like make kind of
make your own food.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
Yeah, you could do that too, if you oh my gosh,
if you even make her pasta, make her some pasta.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Girls of carbs.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I know.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
I know from talking to our friend marcell and Brooklyn.
He made oodles for noodles and the oodles of noodles
and it was very women were very impressed.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
And I was just about to say, you have to
have some sort of competency in the kitchen, because then
then you might be on your date and she'd be like, man,
this pasta is not even cooked, right. You can't even
cook pasta you know poison. I'm gonna have to be
this guy's mom.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
No, thanks, Yeah, maybe McDonald's is a better bet for you.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Well, you could though, go to like Trader Joe's or
Costco and like one of those like yeah, pres.
Speaker 7 (36:40):
The direction, Trader Joe's Ambassador.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
What else we got?
Speaker 3 (36:45):
That's enough? We could anymore? We go? You got food
to get to anyway? Right? Yes, those pies all right there.
It is tremendous job.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
You've improved the dating with you know, the information for.
Speaker 7 (36:59):
The con I do what I can.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
You're like the you're the new doctor Drew is what
you are? Yeah, he's I don't know what he's doing
these days, but you're you're you're doctor.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
You're like that infomercials. So as you doing good for him?
I want to do a ton of money. I do too.
How much will they pay? Not enough?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
The curtain goes up. Are you exciting? You're not excited.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's not really the playoffs. It's something like the playoffs.
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Birds of a feather as we are where fun meets
audio unless we're not co stuck cost border to border

(01:39):
if you're not a fan of pro bouncy ball, you're
probably not gonna like the next couple of months. I'm
warning you right now, there's a certain cadence. These NBA
playoffs go on for not just a couple months. I
think they're going for the next twelve years.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Sometime.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I think we'll all be a couple years older by
the time the NBA playoffs began.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Now this is not the playoffs, but our lead.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Is from pro bouncy ball, and we're talking hoops.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Not the regular season, not the regular season, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And not the postseason, not the postseason, something in between,
a glitch in the matrix. If you will not know
if you watched any of this, I assume not many
people did.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I watched it. Do not worry.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We were watching this sitting on our ass here watching
these games.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
It's our good mitzvah of the day.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And we start in the Bayou, the shores of the
Mighty Mississippi in Louisiana, and that is where Lebron Lebron
James had twenty three points, nine rebounds, and nine assists
and a partridge in a par tree. The Lakers, who
blew an eighteen point lead, actually trailed in the final
few minutes of the game, but they end up beating
(02:48):
the Pelicans, and so they are in the playoffs to
LA advancing. They're the number seven seed and that means
a date with the Rocky Mountain Oysters in Colorado as
they are headed to Denver a playoff matchup against the
reigning champions of the NBA, much to the chagrin of
a number of pundits, including Reggie Miller, who during the
(03:11):
broadcast questioned whether or not there should have been some
intentionally missed foul shots to give the game or at
least give the Pelicans a chance to win the game
in the final second. And Reggie Miller not alone, a
number of hoopeads who get paid plausibly to talk about
basketball wanted the Lakers to throw this game and were upset.
(03:32):
You could tell some of the commentary. They're upset that
the Lakers won this game and annoyed by it because
now that means if the Lakers have, like you said, loss,
they would have played Oklahoma City instead.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
As we mentioned, they're heading to the Rocky Mountain.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So let us discuss the question did Lebron's Lakers screw up?
Did they screw up by beating the Pelicans to match
up with the Nuggets? Did they f this up? So
my answer this is going to shock you. I do
not believe they screwed up. I don't I don't believe
they screwed up at all. I'm shaking my head. No,
(04:08):
they did not screw up. I've got Rick Flair, Royal Caribbean,
and cockpit, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to make a smell that is
in the air. This making my nose run when I
came into the building here, And it's not the skunk
that usually is in here. Something else. All right now,
I'll explain more later. So let me expand on my
(04:30):
position here. It's an unorthodox position if you've heard my
work over the years here, but I do not believe
that the Lakers have a prayer of beating the Nuggets,
like Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray would have to collide
into each other and go cut boom.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
For the Nuggets to lose to the Lakers. So that
is true, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
And and yet I believe they did the right thing
by winning the game and trying.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
To win the game against New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Now there's a bit of a asterisk that we'll get
to in a second, but both of those things are
simultaneously true. That you try to win the game, you
play to win the game, and at the same time
you attempt to not avoid playing a team because oh,
you can't beat the Nuggets. That's a loser's attitude, right.
(05:28):
So I will give the rare and somewhat appropriate credit
to the Lakers for winning this game. However, the credit
is subdued because I truly believe watching this game that
the switch had been flipped in the fourth quarter and
the Lakers were trying to lose the game. I believe
they were trying to lose the game. With about three
(05:50):
three and a half minutes ago, New Orleans had the lead,
and then it was snap crackle pot little Rice Crispi's
for Zion Williamson. But in the more words of Rick Flair,
I learned as a little boy from Rick Flair to
be the man. You've got to beat the man. Right now,
the man is the Denver Nuggets. So you can't go
into their scared and all that stuff. So manipulating the
(06:12):
schedule is saucy.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It's weak. Sauce is what it is.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So I liked it, even though they didn't try to
do it a little bit at the end they didn't work,
and Zion said, hold my beer. And speaking of that,
that's page two here as we take it, look back
at this first night of the western side of the
bracket on the play in which is not a playoff
and not the regular season. It's somewhere else out in
(06:37):
the wild blue yonder. So Zion Willilson, that's a very
large basketball player.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
He likes to eat.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Zion was having an extraordinary, a masterpiece performance in this
Fugese playing game. Before he had to exit. He had
in the locker room exiting stage left, oh my aching
lagged legs now shams or better known as shams by
(07:05):
Charles Barkley. There and Tat says that the hammy went
whammy for Zion. So how do you classify Zion Williamson
having an amazing statistical performance and yet leaving the play
in game early. So this was for Zion. I call
it the Royal Caribbean. Now why do I call it
(07:27):
the Royal Caribbean. The reason I called the Royal Caribbean
all inclusive. It was on brand. Zion had forty points.
He had like ten points, I mean every quarter something
like that. It was the first three I know, he
had at least ten in every quarter. Ended up with
eleven rebounds and then abra cadabra holcus polkis presto. He
(07:49):
vanished at the end. Now the reporter is a hammy.
They said, legs soreness. There'll be more tests. They might
have to amputate the leg I don't know. But Zion
Williamson is another example. Here's a guy, it's a fraud.
He looks like a mack truck, but he plays like
a mister softy truck, meaning he vanishes.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Maybe there's something in New Orleans. And they had Anthony
Davis in.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
New Orleans for a long time, and I don't know
what that was. But Anthony Davis, listen, he is same act,
the same act, last word here. So we now pivot
to the home of the Cowbells. We go to the
Cowbells sack Town, the capital of California. And boy, those
(08:30):
politicians in California doing a great job state. It's never
been better if you're homeless, come on in, get a
bunch of stuff. Anyway, So that aside, not much drum here.
I was gonna lead with this game, and I thought, well,
not really, not anything to talk about. The game was over,
Sacramento kept Golden State at arms length. Chiegan Murray an
(08:51):
Old Iowah Hawka thirty two points. De Aaron Fox had
twenty four. There were guys I've never heard of that
were knocking down moneyball. Sacramento was one of the worst
teams in the NBA to close the regular season, and
it didn't matter. The Kings ran the Warriors out of
the building. They mopped the floor with the once proud Warriors,
a beat down situation. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
(09:15):
Sacramento now will play now Leans in a matchup that
television executives are ready to jump out of buildings over
because no one's gonna be watching that game. But New
Orleans and Sacramento in the Friday game, the winner will
play OKC. Can you imagine Sacramento and Oklahoma City or
either combination is a terrible television combination. They're gonna get
(09:38):
one of those. But I don't work in television. I
kind of do it, but not on that. I don't
care about that. I don't work for the NBA. So anyway,
the better story, though is you know where it's in
the losing locker room, and that is where we will
begin because that is where Golden State was excommunicated from
the postseason. And the story here don't bear the lead.
Mo Man I probably did. But Klay Thompson. You know
(10:02):
what kind of house Klay Thompson is. He's a brick house.
That's what're gonna have. My god, this is his showcase
performance entering the free agent marketplace. His contract is up
with Golden State. Klay Thompson. He went out. If he
was a pitcher for the Giants, he would have pitched
a shutout. Klay Thompson went out. He had a tort special.
(10:23):
He sucked at a time you cannot suck. Clay Thompson
scored as many points as blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan
and inca terror. He's also blind combine combine zero points.
Took ten shots, obviously missed every one of them over ten.
(10:44):
So let's get to the heel of monster in the room.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
The Warriors.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
They are at the proverbial fork in the road. What
do they do with Klay Thompson, and what do they
do with Klay Thompson's friends. We assume Steph Curry will stay,
but what do they do with these other guys. So
we have activated as a public service to our friends
all over northern California. We've activated now the Mallard think tank.
So we turned on the malth think there. So the
(11:09):
advice here is rather obvious. It is time to hit
the road, jack right, and for Klay Thompson, you say,
Clay listen has been great. We'll kiss your ass right
when we're back sucking you know, a couple of years
from now, We'll give you a statue, we'll retire your number,
we'll give up bobbleheads, we'll kiss your ass when we
want to sell tickets, and we'll bring you back right
(11:31):
and we'll give out any kind of clay tops or
approach you. But we got to get rid of you.
So don't let the door hit you. Where the good
Lord's split you will be the advice there. Enter the cockpit.
Clay's got to go right in that cockpit and enter
the transfer portal. He's known as the Sea Captain. He
likes to take the boat across the bay there to
the Warriors games. With that the slow boat. He's on
(11:51):
a slow boat out of the bay, and I gotta
tell you the Warriors, it is time to say asta
la vista to Draymond Green is And I got the vibe.
I was watching in the back here. I was trying
to hide from everyone. I was watching on my phone
because I couldn't get it on the TV. So I
don't know how to turn the TV's because I don't
know the right remote control, so I had to watch.
(12:12):
But I was watching the Steph Curry News comes to date.
I got the vibe that Curry is ready to just
cut the court, and that's the right move. Draymond Green
at this point is an all star podcaster. Okay, he's
not an all star player. The reason that Golden State
was in this fugasey playing thing was because Draymond Green
could not keep his hands to himself and got suspended
(12:35):
and they lost a bunch of games, and so that's why.
And Klay Thompson's old.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
But just get rid of both, Just get rid of
all of them. I don't think you can get rid
of Clay.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You can't get rid of Steph Curry because you got
to you gotta sell some tickets, and those tickets are expensive,
and those executive, those tech executives in the Bay Area
aren't gonna buy the tickets just to watch the other team.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
So you gotta keep Steph Curry. But you can trade
Draymond Green. Trade him to a.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Team I don't know, the Knickerbocker, somebody like that would
take Raymond Green. You'd probably get some decent return on investment.
But it's just time. I was reading stories before the
game that we're pumping the tires up on Klay Thompson,
how great he was playing to end the regular season,
he had an epiphany and all that, and I was like,
oh my god. He looked just he had like.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
One leg, couldn't move, couldn't make any It was just terrible,
just dreadful.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Do not let a falling star fall on you, and
the Warriors have let multiple falling stars fall right on
top of them. I don't even know if Steve Kerr
comes back, he's gonna coach the Olympics. There is a
dimension here where Steve Kerr ends up leaving the Warriors. Also,
he says, I don't want to be here. We're gonna
have Steph Curry and the Seven Dwarfs out there. I
(13:49):
don't want I'm gonna go snow white. I don't want that.
Speaker 2 (13:51):

We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
BFFs, as we catch some audio waves coast stun coast, border,

He couldn't believe there's that many tire raq dot com
the way tire buying should be. And our lead this
hot we'll get back to the roots.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Of the show.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We'll get back to football with a wink at a
nod to the Lakers beating the Pels 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 to Old Washington up, grumpy old men.
They go down as Klay Thompson, what a memorable performance.
(16:07):
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, 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,
(16:32):
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. Well, actually,
you know, Cowboys, Cowboy World or whatever they call Jerry's world.
So if you didn't see this and perhaps not get
(16:52):
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 Steven Jones, well,
rather than me just tell you what he said, let's
go to the audio tip. Here's Stephen Jones explaining on
(17:14):
radio in Dallas what the plan is for the Boys.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
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
(17:38):
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,
(17:59):
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 and Micah and CD, then you
have to hold money back if you want to have
a realistic chance at signing those guys.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
All right, so it sounds like he just woke up
when he did that that interview. He rolled over in
bed and picked up the phone, made the phone call.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
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 UH and said that
they need to hold money back to sign their players.
So clearly he mentioned he mentioned their names. He blames
the Cowboys lack of activity this offseason on Dakota Prescott,
(18:47):
Micah Parsons and C. D.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Lamb. That's that's his those are his words. We played them,
We played them right.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
So let us discuss the question to go thumbs 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, and
(19:24):
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.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I know those other I think in.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
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
in Dallas or any Cowboy fan anywhere, forget Dalla. We're
not in Dallas, but who cares. If you believe what
Steven Jones and Jerry Jones are selling, you are a
(19:59):
distant relative of Dumbo.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Okay, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I read the eye chart. Again, I know about eye charts.
I wear bifocals. Okay, this is classic chicanery by the
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 in before the NFL Draft about
(20:26):
how they're all in right, that is the you know
what that is.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
It's the default saying.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You know, when you 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.
(20:53):
It's they're selling nonsense, is what they're saying. It is impossible.
Let me repeat for those in the background, it is
impossible to go all 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
(21:15):
seminal moment. They are 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?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Now? I believe he will. I don't. He shouldn't, right, shouldn't.
I believe ultimately.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Dak will get a contract? He should not get a contract.
Was the playoff loss to the Packers, the embarrassment where
the Cowboys got pantsed by Greenback? Was that enough to
be the tipping point? We're gonna find out right now,
Jerry's been okay, two of those three guys gonna stay.
One of them will be gone. Now, speaking on one of
(22:01):
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
that is they're saying as is not related to his contract.
(22:23):
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
Micah parsons defensive start? He was compared to Lawrence Taylor
(22:46):
after 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,
Micah Parsons, Is this cat, Micah Parsons skipping the Cowboy
voluntary offseason works?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Is it significant with what we now know? All right?
So I'm nodding my head yes on this one. I'm
nodding my head yes.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
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 are 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 exposes Micah Parsons and
(23:34):
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 rid everything online. They tell
me how great Mike is and all this wonderful stuff.
He is the face of the Cowboys. So am I
(23:54):
wrong to think by not showing up? That is the
hitting me for Micah 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 who don't want to
be at those voluntary workouts of the Dallas Cowboys, but
(24:18):
they can't just sit home and they would rather have
personalized workouts. It's also Michaeh Parson's taking a shot at
the Dallas Cowboys training staff that they cannot get him
in the proper condition in the offseason, that Michaeh Parsons
needs to hire his hand picked personal trainer. So he's
taking a shot at Jerry Jones training staff as well.
That's what we call a two for one, the daily
(24:39):
double for Michah Parson's all right, final thought, So we
hop skip and jump to Duval County. We used to
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
one but Duval County. So that is where Duval County.
That is where the Jacksonville football team plays when they're
(25:00):
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.
So I know it's exciting for you. So he said
(25:20):
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.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Not really his focus. It's the boilerplate response when you
ask these questions, that's what you're supposed to say.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I love the team, 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
(25:56):
gonna go no. I mean, it's 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
(26:17):
and key moments. That's what I look at, all 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 had no on this one. Trevor Lawrence
to me watching him play, and I watched way too
much NFL, as we most of us do.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Watching Trevor Lawrence, he reminds me of like a nineteen
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 and his giddy up here or a
(26:57):
turn in the punch bowl over there with his Trevor Lawrence.
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
(27:18):
to Southern Alaska's Jimmy Johnson famously called Seattle. In the trade,
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
(27:38):
just mainly did not rise to the occasion. Now full disclosure.
One of the main reasons I have taken a strong
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
(28:01):
made me look like an absolute donkey, Trevor Lawrence, So
I've not forgiven it.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I do like to hold the grudge.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It's Mallard, how about that?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
To the third degree, This is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Grail man who desperately wants this to end so he
can get to the cookies.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Kupolu.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Gino Smith told the media that Pete Carroll's firing was
quote a terrible moment that he will remember forever.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It was tragic. Ben.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Do you think Pete Carroll's absence will make an impact
on the upcoming season for the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
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 Gino Smith and they've already traded for Sam
Howe in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Number two and number three.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
They're likely going to draft a quarterback in next week's
NFL draft. 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 in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
So that's what that's really about.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Next, So, earlier in the show, you praised the Lakers
for not intentional losings.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I wouldn't say praise praise. I wouldn't say it was
a praise.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
I would say 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 reprehensible?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
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.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
You want to be the best, you gotta beat the best.
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
Ben should to go with Jayden Daniels or Drake may So.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
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.
(30:25):
But I mean, I can pick apart all these quarterbacks.
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.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
How did we do come up?

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Okay, our listeners need it. The think they're very important.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
They're floundering over here. They have no idea what to
do with themselves.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
You you already present the question. See you Yeah, I
can do that.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
You can answer. You're you're the expert. You know, I'm
not ferg dog, says Lorena. He used the hashtag Queen
of Hearts? Is it okay to cheat? If you're positive,
she'll never find out about it.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
A lot of people think like that, they really do,
and at the end of the day.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
People always find out. They always find out.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
So if you're okay with you know, owning up to
it one day or just being a liar for the
rest of your life, Yeah, you can cheat.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Go for it.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Wow, go for it for dog all right? Inka Terror
writes in from New York. He says, how can I
weed out women who are only in love with my
musical talent?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah? He's a classically trained musician.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Oh that is hard because you know, you have to
find someone who doesn't know that you play music, but
you should want them to fall in love with that
part of you.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
That's that's like the main part.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Right, Inca Terra, Just tell the women you're like, uh, like,
I don't know a truck driver.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
It's not like they're marrying you for your money? Can
you really be offended?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Although he would up for him to say he was
a truck driver because he's blind, so that'd be a
little difficult. Are think they have a self driving cars now?
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Right?
Speaker 7 (33:07):
They really do?
Speaker 6 (33:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (33:08):
He could probably get around pretty easy. What else we got?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Double O Mexican in San Diego has a question. He says,
what is your advice for dipping your pen in the company?
Speaker 8 (33:20):
Inc Ah you know, some people don't like to do that.
But I think work is a great place to meet people.
I don't know, I don't think it should be like
too close, but like, if you meet someone at work
and you have a great connection, are who are you
to say?
Speaker 6 (33:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
They do say, though, Lar, you're not supposed to fish
off the company pier.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Yes they yes, they say that.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
That's the dumbest thing of all time. You know how
many like married couples met at work facts a lot.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I would say the people who say those things are
probably the bosses because they don't want you.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Remember, they're messing around on company till the Celtics coach
Im Udoka a couple of years ago, this guy.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Was uh he was married, Yeah, all right, just like
he was looking up with.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I think the person who was hooking up with was
married also, I believe so scandalous. That is scandless Does
that Danny go on here at Fox Sports Radio like
that is it?
Speaker 3 (34:11):
We know?
Speaker 5 (34:12):
I mean there have been some there have been intern
situations in the oh really, Oh.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Yeah, yeah, there's been lots of love in this building.
I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
I'm sure I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I don't know you did a definition of love. I
mean that's open to interpretation. I don't know that love
is the right thing.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Uh, friendship, special friendship? Yes? Yeah, the King Rory rights someboy.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
This is the interesting question, he says, Is there a
way to tell if someone is, I guess, batting for
the other team while trying to find a a mate,
a heterosexual mate.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
That seems bizarre to me.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I think that most it's very hard to hide that, really, right,
Did you.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Need to hide that anymore in these days? Well, it
depends where you live at.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
I guess I'm pretty open about it.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
In La not so much, but in other places.
Speaker 8 (35:07):
Yeah, I think you can usually get a feel for it, though,
and if you can't, you probably can't pick up on
regular signs in general.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
So just work on that.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, okay, all right, Adam Apple, Adam you know the
Adam Apple. Yeah, these days doesn't matter anymore? Optional late
night drug tests. He said this a while ago, but
this is still relevant, says, with the prices of fast
food skyrocketing, can we now consider it an expensive meal
for a day? This is a great question, because I'm
back in the day. Don't know if it's like this today,
(35:34):
but I'm not in the game anymore. But back in
the day, it was like, you know, you got to
spend a certain amount of money. You can whine and
dine and you get a value meal. It's like fifteen
to twenty bucks at a lot of these places.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
These days, I think it's more about the effort not
the price. So if you're taking your girl to McDonald's
because you have a thirty dollars budget, I mean, that's fine.
You can go get tacos from a taco car. I
think that would go better.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I think the move there and I want to touch
up your work would be the like make kind of
make your own food.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
Yeah, you could do that too, if you oh my gosh,
if you even make her pasta, make her some pasta.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Girls of carbs.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I know.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
I know from talking to our friend marcell and Brooklyn.
He made oodles for noodles and the oodles of noodles
and it was very women were very impressed.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
And I was just about to say, you have to
have some sort of competency in the kitchen, because then
then you might be on your date and she'd be like, man,
this pasta is not even cooked, right. You can't even
cook pasta you know poison. I'm gonna have to be
this guy's mom.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
No, thanks, Yeah, maybe McDonald's is a better bet for you.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Well, you could though, go to like Trader Joe's or
Costco and like one of those like yeah, pres.
Speaker 7 (36:40):
The direction, Trader Joe's Ambassador.

these days, but you're you're you're doctor.
