Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb ber three talking bays ball,
well kind of talking baseball. The New York Yankees, a
team that is leading the American League. They are in
the pace car in the American League, but not all
as well in pinstripe Land hal Steinbrenner, who got in
(00:22):
the right genetic line, he won the genetic lottery. How
Steinbrenner says the Yankees payroll, which is number three in baseball,
is quote not sustainable for them financially. Where are you
at on this one? Where you're at on this one?
The Yankees in New York City, who own their own
TV networker claiming it is not sustainable. Also, Padres losing
(00:44):
infielder Xander Bogarts he's gonna miss significant time with his
shoulder fracture. How big a body blow? Body blow is that?
For the San Diego baseball team and sportscaster Michael Wilbon
creating a social media ruckus by ripping Major League Baseball's
obsession with exit velocity tracking. Do you agree that this
(01:07):
is a net negative for the baseball broadcast? We're talking
about that and who knows what else? Right now? Give
it up our number three All those times are a
tough unless they're not welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malors Show, we are in the
(01:27):
air ay where we just know some people they just
don't get it. They just don't get it. Coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the mast and astronomically
powerful microphones of fsre ammndating live from the code as
(01:47):
we crack the code. We're broadcasting live from the Tirak
dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help you get
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. That's almost as many
as JD in Boston has sent messages on social media tonight.
(02:09):
Tire rack dot com the way tire buying shoes be
and headline from baseball. Baseball has been very very good
to me, unless it has not. So every day I'm
looking around watched these baseball games. I was watching the
basketball last night as well, watching the baseball. But the
(02:31):
story that caught my attention today from baseball is out
of New York City, well one of the five boroughs
of New York City. They're in the Big Apple, the Bronx,
the Boogie down Bronx to be exact, and the Seattle
Mariners took it on the chin. The Yankees won that
game on Wednesday. So the Yankees continue to be in
the penthouse of the American League. But there is no
(02:53):
joy in Mudville. Why not? Well, you might know where
this is going, but maybe not. Owner hal Steinbrenner has
chimed in on the state of Yankee baseball, and hal
Steinbrenner claimed that the New York Yankees cannot cannot maintain
(03:14):
their record high payroll. Cannot do it, cannot do it.
He said, quote this is a quote. I'm gonna be honest.
Payrolls at the levels we're at right now are simply
not sustainable for us financially, Steinbrenner telling the tabloid New
York Post it wouldn't be sustainable for the vast majority
(03:34):
of ownership groups given the luxury tax we have to pay.
Boohoo hoo. Steinbrener quote continues, he said, I don't believe
I should have a three hundred million dollar payroll to
win a championship. Quotes quote, let's discuss the question. Hal
(03:57):
Steinbrenner says the Yankees payroll is not sustainable for them
going forward financially? Where are you at on this one?
So I've got balloon, dance party, and Mosquito, and we
will combine all of these things together, and we are
going to get a ham and Egger because the New
(04:19):
York Yankees, if they cut their payroll, we'll have a
bunch of ham and Eggers in the Bronx. Now, first
of all, hal Steinbrenner is appropriate for the times that
we're living in here. He has a high spin rate.
And I had to go back and I had to
check my notes. Now, I know that nobody feels bad
for an aristocrat that owns a baseball team. But I
(04:40):
went back and I checked my notes because I'm pretty
sure that hal Steinbrenner is mister Bipolar in terms of ownership.
Because a few days ago I thought I was going
crazy here, but I'm am. A few days ago, he
was puffing his chest out saying the Yankees plan to
extend Juan Soto and he wanted to do it during
the season. Now that'll cost the Yankees, how about five
(05:02):
hundred million minimum? Get in five hundred million, minimum, five
hundred million. And now a couple days later, the man
that runs the Yankees is grumbling about the cost of
doing business. Who goofed, I've got to know you talk
about a sob story. Now, I checked the numbers on
this because I thought, well, maybe something must be wrong.
Forbes currently values the Yankees at only seven point five
(05:28):
billion dollars with estimated revenue of six hundred and seventy
nine million. So let's hold a balloon raffle and everyone
gets someone to have a balloon raffle to help the
Pinstripers out the ownership group. Now, the sequel is not
the equal. We've talked about this a few times in
(05:49):
previous episodes of this show, and we've pointed out that
there's a tremendously large difference between new money and old money.
And when the old man, George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees,
that was new money. That was his baby. He massaged
it and he turned it into this amazing monster, the Yankees.
(06:13):
But his son now inherited the team, hal Steinbrenner, and
he has old money. The Yankees make money. He wants
more money. They don't make enough money. But because he's
living off the family business, which is more than enough money,
he's like, I gotta get more money even though he
(06:33):
really wants to get paid. I'm pretty confident. I don't
say for sure, but I'm pretty confident that there's some
fat cat multi billionaire that would be willing to buy
the Yankees. But what do I know? All right now,
pitch too. We head to Sunday Ago, where the fish
tacos are good and the baseball is so so. So
(06:54):
Padre is not particularly great, not particularly horrible. There's somewhere
in the middle of the man of the middle. Fadres
have placed star Xander Bogarts, the ex sock x Red Sox,
place him on the injured list formerly called the disabled list.
A fractured left shoulder. Oh my aching shoulder, Oh my god. Yeah,
(07:18):
so messed up left shoulder.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
There.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He is expected to miss not one, but two months,
and I would bet the over while he recovers from
the injury. I would bet the over two months. So
the Padres have lost their second baseman, Xander Bogarts. He's
gonna miss significant time here, a couple of months with
a fractured shoulder. Wow, that's a humdinger of a story.
(07:41):
How big a body blow? Body blow? Is that? For
the San Diego Baseball team. So this is the old
name game. It's a nine in the name. It is
a two in terms of the game. You see what
I did there the name Hime. In terms of the name,
it's nine out of ten. Big name in terms of
(08:04):
the other stuff. Actually, the ability to play baseball at
a high level right now, two, I'm aut a two now.
Bogart's got the money from his days in Boston, two
hundred and eighty million dollar deal with the Pod Squad,
a massive investment. His performance Xander has been a dud,
(08:25):
but not a milk, just a dud before he got hurt,
batting two nineteen with just four home runs and a
measly fourteen runs batted in for forty seven games. I'm
pretty sure the Padres could have gone to the Mexican
League and gotten somewhere there to put those numbers up.
But it is a dance party, and Xander Bogarts is
(08:47):
having a dance party. He's doing the limbo. How low
can you go? He's not a top twenty five player,
not a top fifty player, not a top seventy five player,
not a top one hundred player. He's not even in
the top two hundred per sentile with those numbers that
he's got. So I'm pretty confident that the Padres can
find someone to bat about two twenty with a couple
(09:09):
of home runs and a few RBIs. I'm very confident.
All right, Final five, We now turn to the socials.
That's right, the socials. Several of you sent me a
version of this story. They were a couple bouncing around.
There's a longtime sports pundit named Michael Wilbon who created
(09:30):
a social media ruckus because he ripped Major League Baseball's
love of exit velocity tracking. And I don't remember exactly
what he said, but I believe it was something to
the effect that this has sucked the joy out of
his enjoyment of watching baseball. Do you agree? So my
(09:53):
position on this, I still watch baseball, so I can't
say I don't watch because of that. I find it annoying.
If it was a wrestler, it would be el laimo.
There is this odd obsession that Major League Baseball has
right now. They're convinced that this is the way to
(10:14):
connect the people, that they have to put every possible
stat on the screen and shove it down your throat.
And what ends up happening I'd like to use the
words of the immortal Jerry Jones, you end up circumcising
a mosquito. It is information overload, is what it is.
(10:36):
It is often also, and this is my issue. Like,
you know you want to put the stats out there. Listen,
I use stats all the time on this show, but
I also know stats can be manipulated and a lot
of them are completely meaningless, and this one is one
of those. The exit velocity is irrelevant. It does not
matter how hard you're hitting the baseball. If it's going
right into the dirt right, If you're hitting balls in
(10:58):
the dirt, who cares. Or if you're hitting baseballs on
a line they're going right into the right fielder, left fielder,
centerfielders glove or lining out the third base of the matter.
And this is like in football we get every year
low information fans who get all horny because someone sets
(11:18):
the combine record for the forty yard dash. Of course,
the uneducated do not realize the only reason we have
the forty yard dash is because Paul Brown was testing
players to be on the punt team. But nowadays it
is a badge of honor if you are the fastest
in the forty yard dash. You are guaranteed to start
them unless you are not. Even though you might be
(11:39):
a speed merchant as we have seen, it does not
guarantee that you have the ability to catch passes. That
you could have hands of stone and drop passes. So
who cares. And in the sport of baseball, maybe I'm
wrong on this, but the object of the game, I
think is to get hits. Whether you bunt the ball,
(12:00):
whether you hit a chopper that goes over the second
basement's head, that's the point. The speed of those hits.
While it's kind of cool and you get a little
bit of machismo, it's also irrelevant. There is no correlation
between exit velocity and sustained success. Now, then, given my
(12:20):
evidence here, a lot of talk the last couple of
days about O'Neill Cruz of the Pittsburgh Pirates. So I'll
bring up O'Neil Cruz. I'm gonna also toss out Ryan McMahon,
that's a baseball player for the Rockies, and someone named
Jesus Sanchez of the Marlins. Now you might know who
O'Neil Cruz is. If you're a steam head, you might
(12:41):
know who Ryan McMahon is if you live in Denver.
I don't even think Marlin's man knows who Hey Sus
Sanchez is, but all three of those guys are in
the top ten in Major League Baseball exit velocity average
exit velocity. Well, O'Neil Cruz is like a two point
fifty hitter. McMahon's got good numbers at cors Field, but
that's about it. And Hey Sue Sanchez plays for a
(13:04):
Marlins team which is unwatchable. And oh, by the way,
if you go back since baseball came up with that stat,
the all time king of a stat is gian Carlos Stanton,
who is number one in several of those several of
his categories involving average or most most highest rated average
(13:24):
exit velocity all they got a stat for everything, but
he's nothing special at this point. He's not the MVP
he was back in the day. He's not that level
of ball player. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If
you want to comment on any of that, or the
Mavericks winning their victory over the Minnesota basketball team, you're
more than welcome to join us. We have asked Ben

get it right? I think somebody Mike this one a
chance that somebody gets it right. Anyway, Here's the Malay
riddle of the day. A minor league baseball fan was
spotted eating a blank in a video that has gone
viral after dipping it in his beer. Dipping it in
(16:23):
his beer, that is the question, what is the answer?
Just like Frank says a Costco hot dog, Matt off
Topic says his disdain for exit velocity and all things
stat cast is only exceeded by the dweebs that think
war is a real statistic. Yeah, we can go over
that if you want. Who else do you have page down?

Let's see here, Just like Frank, Kyle says, eating a
w come quat guests by Johnny Q. Yeah, let's see here.

ground about the attack from David Vassay says. Vassays, astros

Roseville Minnesota trucker Joe said, just a hot dog. Marcel's
oodles of noodles were dipped in beer before they were eating.

Lama says he was eating all the wasted one hundred
dollars bills the Mets blue on Francisco. Lindor Rob, the
Ambassador of Bakersfield cheated. He got it right, bad job.
Au Rod Rob in Minnesota says an African killer hornet
was the answer. Melted butter guest by King Rory. Who
(17:49):
else do we have? Angry Bill bobblehead from Fudgie in Boston,
A Twinkie guest by Donkey sausage breakfast burrito from Milkman,
Colorado boy. I got tons of answers. I can't even
get through all these answers. Alf the Alien opiner said
he was spotted eating a donut bacon cheeseburger. That's the answer.
(18:14):

else do we have? Page down? Oh, by the way,
Robbie the nerd. Robbie the nerd, right there, he's he's
defending all the nerd stats. Yeah, clearly, there you go,
(18:35):
all right. The malaprop guy is a stalker clearly Ferd

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Beef jerky? All right? Is it beef jerky?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Rob? The correct answer? A game between the Montgomery Biscuits
and Rocket City? Who are the Rocket City trash pandas?
I don't know good names though, Camra, Houston? But what
city of the end? They're not in Houston.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
There isn't that Rocket City with the space program.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I think it's somewhere. Yeah, I think it's in Alabama anyway. Uh,
fan was spotted dipping this is this is crazy. You
know those cicada bugs? No, yeah, yeah he the guy
dipped a live cicada in it, and then another guy
(19:34):
also did it. Eddie.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah. They're wide a little different there, Eddie. They just
they roll a little different. That hits those.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
People should.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Seems a little strong. Uh Now the cicada is is
there a more annoying sound than the cicada in the
bug community. Is there a more annoying sound? I know crickets,
you hear crickets and whatnot, But the cicada, Oh man,
those things are Have you found the video yet, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I'm not going to look at that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You kidding?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Why not discussed?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Two people ate cicadas, live cicadas?
Speaker 5 (20:10):
That really makes me want to fun.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You upset by that?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Your the Rocket City trash pandas are in Madison, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Where is that?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
It's in Alabama?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Well, I know that, but what part of Alabama is?
It's north south? Where where is it? You have no idea.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
It is extreme north, extreme north. It's on the border
of whatever. I can't remember. Is it Tennessee?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Man?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I think it's Tennessee, right, because Alabama's near Georgia. Got Georgia, George,
Mississippi's on the other right, So I think Tennessee are
up top there. And then welcome to geography for idiots.
So there you go. Congratulations. I'll send you the video
if you want to. No, no, Loreni, you want to
see the video.
Speaker 6 (20:54):

Speaker 4 (20:58):
It to me.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I'm gonna send it to you. Want to get your look.
You're tougher than Eddie. Eddie's such a wos over there.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
You've never eaten aedny bugs, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Not intentionally?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, everyone's eating.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
But I think it's a statistic, like we've eaten.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, they allow a certain number of bugs in our food.
They allow us to have a certain number of bugs
in our food, and it's considered fine. There's like nothing
wrong with it. Uh, click on this year and then
I'll send this to you and then we'll get an
immediate reaction from Lorena. Send this guy in a red shirt,
this like white dude in a red shirt, and he
(21:32):
was he was going for it with the cicadas. And
those are good sized bugs. You ever held a cicada, Eddie?
They're they're decent size, like the size of your phone.
I don't think that's the first time the guy's done it.
I think he's done that before. And then how about
the guy, the other guy, Eddie. He was wearing a
big dumper trucking shirt of course, and he looks like
he was with his daughter. What a great boy.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
If you have a daughter father reproducing.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Exception is Uh, his daughter's going to be trying to
find a man someday that will also eat cicada bugs.
So the rain have you found? As the video arrived yet?
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Oh? No, right and takes it.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, he doesn't seem too troubled by it. But then
the other guy's like, I gotta do too, but.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
If you have to do it, Oh, they look so
fat and juicy.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Oh that's disgusting. The second the second guy looked at
the camera and smiled, smiled as he took a big
bite of that live cicada.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
I love that they take little nibbles off the head first,
like let me, oh yeah, is that the tastiest part?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Alight, I'm turning my microphone off, turning off.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'll bet you we have listeners right now. And maybe
this is because of the full moon and all that,
but there are people that like this show that have
eaten a live cicada, and I would love to hear
what they have to say about that, or send me
a message on.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Why why would you love to hear what that?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I'm just curious what it tastes like, Eddie, I.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Don't know it yourself, and then you'll find out.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Wow, a little bitter over there, Garcia, how dare you? Man?
Kelly in Nashville says she's the donut lady. The cicadas
are so strong out here right now. It is absolute madness,
she says in Nashville. See, this is a way to
get back at the cicada. That's one less cicada. Looking
out for the people that are overwhelmed with an infestation
(23:29):
of the cicadas, Kelly says, I have had in room
at least five cicadas a day from my store the
last couple of weeks. They're trying to eat the donuts, Eddie.
It's a bad job by them. Shame on them. Let's
go to the calls. Here is hollering James. Is he
still there? Let's see, Oh, there he is hollering James,

let's see if we can hear this here? Yes, put
(27:59):
some of the songs he's gonna play. Well done, Peter Roll.
For those who don't recognize it, it's Billy Joels. We
(28:20):
did not start the fire.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Who would we recognize that song? That's a classic song.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
I I agree, but we didn't. Dieter Roll never want to,
uh to take advantage of an opportunity of something car?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Was it, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Do we know a hot car? Very hot? Call?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Well? I know that.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
But if it was like an electric car, those you
can't just put those out water.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I don't know, but it was fully engulf there in
the in the parking. Can't tell.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
What do you think happened?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I think somebody was smoking in their car and the
thing caught on fire.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
I doubt that. I think it's probably some kind of
the issue with the engine. Yeah, that would be my guest.
You ever had a car a lot on I have not, thankfully.
I have hit a boat though, as you know, yes
on the freeway hit a boat.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
If people could say they hit a boat.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
That's very true. I was not the only one. There
was a bunch of people that hit that boat.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Many of people are our friend Brianna I ran into
she had been off for a couple of weeks, and
she told me that she got into an action. But
she did not hit a boat. She said, she just
I don't think it was a Fender Better. I think
it was like a kind of a serious action.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
She said, she totaled it.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, yeah, got no car.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Glad she's all right.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
And she did tell me she's not calling one of
those billboard lawyers.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Ady.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
She's got integrity. So not that I have a problem
with people that try to get that money grab Anyway,

Where are we at?
Speaker 8 (31:38):
These? Question is for everybody. It is from ferd Dog
Hi Fergie. He wants to know if you had to
eat with chopsticks for a month, would you be fine?
Or would you starve to death?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I would starve to death.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I was.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, I was at a Korean barbecue place and they
gave me chopsticks, and I said, no, next time I
go there, I'm gonna get I'm gonna bring a four.
I'm gonna bring contraband into the place. I'm gonna bring
my own metal for they give me like a cheap
classick fork. But yeah, my father was really good at
eating with chopsticks. I know it's a disaster, Eddie. I've
(32:09):
never done it before, but you've never You've never tried
to eat with chopsticks?
Speaker 5 (32:13):
No, but if I had to, how is that possible?
That's very easy. I don't know how to use them,
So why would I try when I can use a form.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You've been in a restaurant where they give you chopsticks.
You never fussed around with them at all?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
No?
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Wow, But if I had to learn, I think I could.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah, try eating a lot of rice with chopsticks. Good luck?
Speaker 5 (32:34):
On that.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
What about you, Lorena, I am a very.
Speaker 7 (32:37):
Very talented chopstick user, and when I can't get something
onto a chopstick or like in it, I'll just stab it.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Yeah, stabbing method always works.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Real well, you're very violent.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
First in Kuberloop, I was actually complimented on my chopstick
usage while in Japan Humble by a local.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Somebody trying to get a bigger tip out of you.
But that's fine. What is New Year?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
What do we have?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (33:02):
You don't tip in Japan, so that wasn't the case.
Uh art puffing.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Maybe I should go to Japan. You don't have to tip.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
No, Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Art puffin on the way art I blocked you because
of what you did.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
High art puffing, big fan art puffing. Good job by
you did.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
He sent out a video of some woman eating a
cockroach or something.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Oh okay, No, I'm getting a lot of videos that.
In the South, the cicada eddie is a delicious treat.
They cover them in chocolate and they're very crunchy and
they've got a lot of good qualities.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
I don't think you eat them raw though, I think
you like bake them or deep fry them.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
First, some people like you much like fish. Some people
eat sushi, some people eat their fish cook. What is next?
Speaker 8 (33:39):
What do we have I want to do back to
back questions from art puffin? These are two good questions.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I'll take that, Eddie art puffing back to back.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
In your adolescence, were you ever suspended or kicked out
of a school? If so, for what?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, I had a few few incidents back in the
day when I was I was in school. I got
picked out a lot as the fat kid. I tossed
a kid in a trash can walking between we had
we had to go to the an assembly and I
tossed the kid in a trash can. He got in
trouble for that and had a few issues with My
attendance was not particularly great, so I got in trouble
(34:12):
with that. What about you, Eddie, I.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Got suspended, Never kicked out at school, but suspended for
throwing wet toilet paper balls on the ceiling of the bathroom.
They would stick if me.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
And my friend were doing were they game used, Eddie
or No?
Speaker 5 (34:25):
No, no, you just bawled him up and you got
him wet and then you just throw him up on
the ceiling. They stick.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Is there anything more disgusting than a high school bathroom?
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (34:33):
My good, Lorena, Ben, I was a goody two shoes,
I cried the first time I got a detention. There's
no way I was getting expelled teachers shoes all the way?
Speaker 1 (34:46):
What about you?
Speaker 8 (34:48):
Yeah, I was suspended.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
And what you dressed up as a tampon?
Speaker 4 (34:53):
No?
Speaker 8 (34:53):
No, I was just made to throw the costume away.
But no, I was suspended for a couple of different things,
and then I was kicked.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
I got to give a something.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
Kicked out of middle school, of my Catholic middle school
that I went to for what they said was a
combination of grades and behavior.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
The combo, the combination of a bunch of a bunch
of factors together. He is, all right, what is next? Year?
To ask Ben? Your questions are answers? Hashtag ask Ben
If you want to try to slide a question past
the goaltender, here goople loop is at the net and
he's fielding your questions. All right.
Speaker 8 (35:27):
The second art puffin question, have you ever witnessed a crime?
If so, what was it and what did you do?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I mean I've seen car accidents. That's not really a crime.
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
I'm sure I've witnessed like vandalism before.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah, I've seen a lot of like tagging of buildings
and stuff like that, and I've learned I've been told
not to mess with those people because they don't like
when you mess with their art. They like, you know,
they do stuff to you. So, yeah, I've seen a
lot of like vandalism.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Let i've seen any.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Probably see some fights that we could be considered assault, right.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Well, games, football games, I've seen fights, a lot of those. Yeah,
that's about it, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Yeah, okay, Well I have seen myself. I thought you
were taking the pizza out of Shaky's. That's a crime, right,
I suppose that is staff? Yes, all right, I got
sticky fingers covered in marshmallows.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Well, Google, we did pay for it, and b and yeah,
what's that.
Speaker 8 (36:33):
Breaking and entering?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
Get trespassing?
Speaker 8 (36:37):
Oh that's.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
They let me in, coop, They let me in.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Now, sometimes I have had to pull along the side
of the road and publicly urinate.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
But yes, I've never done that.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
You've never done that in the middle of nowhere on
some country roads somewhere what.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
Kind of life has Eddie lived here?
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Take care I take care of business?
Speaker 8 (37:03):
When then, when when I've never gone to the bathroom
side of the road, has never used chopsticks?
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Like get out a little bit, Eddie, like that duncle studio.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
The only thing the thing that I thought of right
away was h DUIs and I and I do call
nine to one one for that when I see sad.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Yeah, I've seen I've had problem that is though, Coop.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
Sometimes they're just on their damn phone.
Speaker 8 (37:26):
Well, I normally like all kind of like look in
the window to see if like what's going on, But
if they're like if it's not, if they're like veering
in and out of the lane.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
Like I've had times where I thought they were drunk
and then I pulled up next Tohim, I just saw
they were on their foot.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
There was one week about ten years ago I had
back to back days where somebody was driving the wrong
way towards me.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
Oh that's what I've ever seen that.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, back it was weird. It's the same week, like
a couple of days apart. It was crazy real quick
one more Coop, real quick doubleow.
Speaker 8 (37:56):
Mexican wants to know when is the last time you
used a porta potty.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Oh god, I can't remember the line. I avoid that.
I'd rather go in the wood. So what about you, Ladie.
Speaker 5 (38:07):
I don't recall either.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
I'm yeah Lorrain.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Probably a football game.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
I squatted at a festival a few years ago.
Speaker 8 (38:13):
Oh there you go, Cooper, Yeah, festival after chocolate.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Better you than me,
Hello and welcome. It's our numb ber three talking bays ball,
well kind of talking baseball. The New York Yankees, a
team that is leading the American League. They are in
the pace car in the American League, but not all
as well in pinstripe Land hal Steinbrenner, who got in
(00:22):
the right genetic line, he won the genetic lottery. How
Steinbrenner says the Yankees payroll, which is number three in baseball,
is quote not sustainable for them financially. Where are you
at on this one? Where you're at on this one?
The Yankees in New York City, who own their own
TV networker claiming it is not sustainable. Also, Padres losing
(00:44):
infielder Xander Bogarts he's gonna miss significant time with his
shoulder fracture. How big a body blow? Body blow is that?
For the San Diego baseball team and sportscaster Michael Wilbon
creating a social media ruckus by ripping Major League Baseball's
obsession with exit velocity tracking. Do you agree that this
(01:07):
is a net negative for the baseball broadcast? We're talking
about that and who knows what else? Right now? Give
it up our number three All those times are a
tough unless they're not welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malors Show, we are in the
(01:27):
air ay where we just know some people they just
don't get it. They just don't get it. Coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the mast and astronomically
powerful microphones of fsre ammndating live from the code as
(01:47):
we crack the code. We're broadcasting live from the Tirak
dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help you get
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. That's almost as many
as JD in Boston has sent messages on social media tonight.
(02:09):
Tire rack dot com the way tire buying shoes be
and headline from baseball. Baseball has been very very good
to me, unless it has not. So every day I'm
looking around watched these baseball games. I was watching the
basketball last night as well, watching the baseball. But the
(02:31):
story that caught my attention today from baseball is out
of New York City, well one of the five boroughs
of New York City. They're in the Big Apple, the Bronx,
the Boogie down Bronx to be exact, and the Seattle
Mariners took it on the chin. The Yankees won that
game on Wednesday. So the Yankees continue to be in
the penthouse of the American League. But there is no
(02:53):
joy in Mudville. Why not? Well, you might know where
this is going, but maybe not. Owner hal Steinbrenner has
chimed in on the state of Yankee baseball, and hal
Steinbrenner claimed that the New York Yankees cannot cannot maintain
(03:14):
their record high payroll. Cannot do it, cannot do it.
He said, quote this is a quote. I'm gonna be honest.
Payrolls at the levels we're at right now are simply
not sustainable for us financially, Steinbrenner telling the tabloid New
York Post it wouldn't be sustainable for the vast majority
(03:34):
of ownership groups given the luxury tax we have to pay.
Boohoo hoo. Steinbrener quote continues, he said, I don't believe
I should have a three hundred million dollar payroll to
win a championship. Quotes quote, let's discuss the question. Hal
(03:57):
Steinbrenner says the Yankees payroll is not sustainable for them
going forward financially? Where are you at on this one?
So I've got balloon, dance party, and Mosquito, and we
will combine all of these things together, and we are
going to get a ham and Egger because the New
(04:19):
York Yankees, if they cut their payroll, we'll have a
bunch of ham and Eggers in the Bronx. Now, first
of all, hal Steinbrenner is appropriate for the times that
we're living in here. He has a high spin rate.
And I had to go back and I had to
check my notes. Now, I know that nobody feels bad
for an aristocrat that owns a baseball team. But I
(04:40):
went back and I checked my notes because I'm pretty
sure that hal Steinbrenner is mister Bipolar in terms of ownership.
Because a few days ago I thought I was going
crazy here, but I'm am. A few days ago, he
was puffing his chest out saying the Yankees plan to
extend Juan Soto and he wanted to do it during
the season. Now that'll cost the Yankees, how about five
(05:02):
hundred million minimum? Get in five hundred million, minimum, five
hundred million. And now a couple days later, the man
that runs the Yankees is grumbling about the cost of
doing business. Who goofed, I've got to know you talk
about a sob story. Now, I checked the numbers on
this because I thought, well, maybe something must be wrong.
Forbes currently values the Yankees at only seven point five
(05:28):
billion dollars with estimated revenue of six hundred and seventy
nine million. So let's hold a balloon raffle and everyone
gets someone to have a balloon raffle to help the
Pinstripers out the ownership group. Now, the sequel is not
the equal. We've talked about this a few times in
(05:49):
previous episodes of this show, and we've pointed out that
there's a tremendously large difference between new money and old money.
And when the old man, George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees,
that was new money. That was his baby. He massaged
it and he turned it into this amazing monster, the Yankees.
(06:13):
But his son now inherited the team, hal Steinbrenner, and
he has old money. The Yankees make money. He wants
more money. They don't make enough money. But because he's
living off the family business, which is more than enough money,
he's like, I gotta get more money even though he
(06:33):
really wants to get paid. I'm pretty confident. I don't
say for sure, but I'm pretty confident that there's some
fat cat multi billionaire that would be willing to buy
the Yankees. But what do I know? All right now,
pitch too. We head to Sunday Ago, where the fish
tacos are good and the baseball is so so. So
(06:54):
Padre is not particularly great, not particularly horrible. There's somewhere
in the middle of the man of the middle. Fadres
have placed star Xander Bogarts, the ex sock x Red Sox,
place him on the injured list formerly called the disabled list.
A fractured left shoulder. Oh my aching shoulder, Oh my god. Yeah,
(07:18):
so messed up left shoulder.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
There.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He is expected to miss not one, but two months,
and I would bet the over while he recovers from
the injury. I would bet the over two months. So
the Padres have lost their second baseman, Xander Bogarts. He's
gonna miss significant time here, a couple of months with
a fractured shoulder. Wow, that's a humdinger of a story.
(07:41):
How big a body blow? Body blow? Is that? For
the San Diego Baseball team. So this is the old
name game. It's a nine in the name. It is
a two in terms of the game. You see what
I did there the name Hime. In terms of the name,
it's nine out of ten. Big name in terms of
(08:04):
the other stuff. Actually, the ability to play baseball at
a high level right now, two, I'm aut a two now.
Bogart's got the money from his days in Boston, two
hundred and eighty million dollar deal with the Pod Squad,
a massive investment. His performance Xander has been a dud,
(08:25):
but not a milk, just a dud before he got hurt,
batting two nineteen with just four home runs and a
measly fourteen runs batted in for forty seven games. I'm
pretty sure the Padres could have gone to the Mexican
League and gotten somewhere there to put those numbers up.
But it is a dance party, and Xander Bogarts is
(08:47):
having a dance party. He's doing the limbo. How low
can you go? He's not a top twenty five player,
not a top fifty player, not a top seventy five player,
not a top one hundred player. He's not even in
the top two hundred per sentile with those numbers that
he's got. So I'm pretty confident that the Padres can
find someone to bat about two twenty with a couple
(09:09):
of home runs and a few RBIs. I'm very confident.
All right, Final five, We now turn to the socials.
That's right, the socials. Several of you sent me a
version of this story. They were a couple bouncing around.
There's a longtime sports pundit named Michael Wilbon who created
(09:30):
a social media ruckus because he ripped Major League Baseball's
love of exit velocity tracking. And I don't remember exactly
what he said, but I believe it was something to
the effect that this has sucked the joy out of
his enjoyment of watching baseball. Do you agree? So my
(09:53):
position on this, I still watch baseball, so I can't
say I don't watch because of that. I find it annoying.
If it was a wrestler, it would be el laimo.
There is this odd obsession that Major League Baseball has
right now. They're convinced that this is the way to
(10:14):
connect the people, that they have to put every possible
stat on the screen and shove it down your throat.
And what ends up happening I'd like to use the
words of the immortal Jerry Jones, you end up circumcising
a mosquito. It is information overload, is what it is.
(10:36):
It is often also, and this is my issue. Like,
you know you want to put the stats out there. Listen,
I use stats all the time on this show, but
I also know stats can be manipulated and a lot
of them are completely meaningless, and this one is one
of those. The exit velocity is irrelevant. It does not
matter how hard you're hitting the baseball. If it's going
right into the dirt right, If you're hitting balls in
(10:58):
the dirt, who cares. Or if you're hitting baseballs on
a line they're going right into the right fielder, left fielder,
centerfielders glove or lining out the third base of the matter.
And this is like in football we get every year
low information fans who get all horny because someone sets
(11:18):
the combine record for the forty yard dash. Of course,
the uneducated do not realize the only reason we have
the forty yard dash is because Paul Brown was testing
players to be on the punt team. But nowadays it
is a badge of honor if you are the fastest
in the forty yard dash. You are guaranteed to start
them unless you are not. Even though you might be
(11:39):
a speed merchant as we have seen, it does not
guarantee that you have the ability to catch passes. That
you could have hands of stone and drop passes. So
who cares. And in the sport of baseball, maybe I'm
wrong on this, but the object of the game, I
think is to get hits. Whether you bunt the ball,
(12:00):
whether you hit a chopper that goes over the second
basement's head, that's the point. The speed of those hits.
While it's kind of cool and you get a little
bit of machismo, it's also irrelevant. There is no correlation
between exit velocity and sustained success. Now, then, given my
(12:20):
evidence here, a lot of talk the last couple of
days about O'Neill Cruz of the Pittsburgh Pirates. So I'll
bring up O'Neil Cruz. I'm gonna also toss out Ryan McMahon,
that's a baseball player for the Rockies, and someone named
Jesus Sanchez of the Marlins. Now you might know who
O'Neil Cruz is. If you're a steam head, you might
(12:41):
know who Ryan McMahon is if you live in Denver.
I don't even think Marlin's man knows who Hey Sus
Sanchez is, but all three of those guys are in
the top ten in Major League Baseball exit velocity average
exit velocity. Well, O'Neil Cruz is like a two point
fifty hitter. McMahon's got good numbers at cors Field, but
that's about it. And Hey Sue Sanchez plays for a
(13:04):
Marlins team which is unwatchable. And oh, by the way,
if you go back since baseball came up with that stat,
the all time king of a stat is gian Carlos Stanton,
who is number one in several of those several of
his categories involving average or most most highest rated average
(13:24):
exit velocity all they got a stat for everything, but
he's nothing special at this point. He's not the MVP
he was back in the day. He's not that level
of ball player. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If
you want to comment on any of that, or the
Mavericks winning their victory over the Minnesota basketball team, you're
more than welcome to join us. We have asked Ben
coming up later this hour will take some calls before then,
(13:47):
speakeasy rules in effect. Also on X at Ben Mahlor.
That's at Ben Mallard time. Now for the Mallor Riddle
of the day. And here is the Mallor riddle of
the day. Minor League legue baseball fan, a minor league
baseball fan was spotted in a video that has since
gone viral eating a blank after dipping it in his beer. Again,
(14:10):
minor league baseball fan spotted it in a viral video

wad of cotton candy.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
What do you think I'm gonna go with? Beef jerky?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Beef jerky? All right? Is it beef jerky?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Rob? The correct answer? A game between the Montgomery Biscuits
and Rocket City? Who are the Rocket City trash pandas?
I don't know good names though, Camra, Houston? But what
city of the end? They're not in Houston.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
There isn't that Rocket City with the space program.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I think it's somewhere. Yeah, I think it's in Alabama anyway. Uh,
fan was spotted dipping this is this is crazy. You
know those cicada bugs? No, yeah, yeah he the guy
dipped a live cicada in it, and then another guy
(19:34):
also did it. Eddie.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah. They're wide a little different there, Eddie. They just
they roll a little different. That hits those.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
People should.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Seems a little strong. Uh Now the cicada is is
there a more annoying sound than the cicada in the
bug community. Is there a more annoying sound? I know crickets,
you hear crickets and whatnot, But the cicada, Oh man,
those things are Have you found the video yet, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I'm not going to look at that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You kidding?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Why not discussed?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Two people ate cicadas, live cicadas?
Speaker 5 (20:10):
That really makes me want to fun.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You upset by that?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Your the Rocket City trash pandas are in Madison, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Where is that?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
It's in Alabama?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Well, I know that, but what part of Alabama is?
It's north south? Where where is it? You have no idea.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
It is extreme north, extreme north. It's on the border
of whatever. I can't remember. Is it Tennessee?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Man?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I think it's Tennessee, right, because Alabama's near Georgia. Got Georgia, George,
Mississippi's on the other right, So I think Tennessee are
up top there. And then welcome to geography for idiots.
So there you go. Congratulations. I'll send you the video
if you want to. No, no, Loreni, you want to
see the video.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
I do, Actually you do, all right, hold on, send.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
It to me.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I'm gonna send it to you. Want to get your look.
You're tougher than Eddie. Eddie's such a wos over there.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
You've never eaten aedny bugs, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Not intentionally?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, everyone's eating.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
But I think it's a statistic, like we've eaten.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, they allow a certain number of bugs in our food.
They allow us to have a certain number of bugs
in our food, and it's considered fine. There's like nothing
wrong with it. Uh, click on this year and then
I'll send this to you and then we'll get an
immediate reaction from Lorena. Send this guy in a red shirt,
this like white dude in a red shirt, and he
(21:32):
was he was going for it with the cicadas. And
those are good sized bugs. You ever held a cicada, Eddie?
They're they're decent size, like the size of your phone.
I don't think that's the first time the guy's done it.
I think he's done that before. And then how about
the guy, the other guy, Eddie. He was wearing a
big dumper trucking shirt of course, and he looks like
he was with his daughter. What a great boy.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
If you have a daughter father reproducing.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Exception is Uh, his daughter's going to be trying to
find a man someday that will also eat cicada bugs.
So the rain have you found? As the video arrived yet?
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Oh? No, right and takes it.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, he doesn't seem too troubled by it. But then
the other guy's like, I gotta do too, but.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
If you have to do it, Oh, they look so
fat and juicy.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Oh that's disgusting. The second the second guy looked at
the camera and smiled, smiled as he took a big
bite of that live cicada.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
I love that they take little nibbles off the head first,
like let me, oh yeah, is that the tastiest part?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Alight, I'm turning my microphone off, turning off.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'll bet you we have listeners right now. And maybe
this is because of the full moon and all that,
but there are people that like this show that have
eaten a live cicada, and I would love to hear
what they have to say about that, or send me
a message on.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Why why would you love to hear what that?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I'm just curious what it tastes like, Eddie, I.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Don't know it yourself, and then you'll find out.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Wow, a little bitter over there, Garcia, how dare you? Man?
Kelly in Nashville says she's the donut lady. The cicadas
are so strong out here right now. It is absolute madness,
she says in Nashville. See, this is a way to
get back at the cicada. That's one less cicada. Looking
out for the people that are overwhelmed with an infestation
(23:29):
of the cicadas, Kelly says, I have had in room
at least five cicadas a day from my store the
last couple of weeks. They're trying to eat the donuts, Eddie.
It's a bad job by them. Shame on them. Let's
go to the calls. Here is hollering James. Is he

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Many of people are our friend Brianna I ran into
she had been off for a couple of weeks, and
she told me that she got into an action. But
she did not hit a boat. She said, she just
I don't think it was a Fender Better. I think
it was like a kind of a serious action.
Speaker 6 (29:26):

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, yeah, got no car.
Speaker 5 (29:30):

I'm gonna bring contraband into the place. I'm gonna bring
my own metal for they give me like a cheap

(32:09):
never done it before, but you've never You've never tried
to eat with chopsticks?
Speaker 5 (32:13):
No, but if I had to, how is that possible?
That's very easy. I don't know how to use them,
So why would I try when I can use a form.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You've been in a restaurant where they give you chopsticks.
You never fussed around with them at all?
Speaker 4 (32:25):

They cover them in chocolate and they're very crunchy and
they've got a lot of good qualities.

eat sushi, some people eat their fish cook. What is next?
