Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our Dumber for for crying out Loud, the Original
Recipe podcast, and we have some scores to settle on
this pig skin Poloosa And how do you appraise how
do you appraise this impact for Jalen Wattles dolphin extension
on Tyreek Hill? What's the impact on Tyreek Hill from
(00:23):
Jalen Wattles extension with the Dolphins? Also, where is the
worry oh meter on the Aaron Rodgers reported foot issues
with the Jets during offseason workouts and Chiefs rookie Xavier
Worthy flashing jewelry and money on social media is blank.
We'll get to that. Also, don't forget Big Ben's Big
(00:46):
board on the podcast. The Fifth Hour podcast available today.
We'll have a new pod tomorrow and on Sunday. Wherever
you get your podcast, where you got this one, we
have that for you as well.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We'll slide into May, or the end of May will
slide into and this is the last day of May.
Here it is our number four. Just waddle this way
right into a massive pile of cash. Yeah, just do that. Well,
come in the beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We are in the air everywhere, hot on the case
as we literally play with our food coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and extravagantly powerful
microphones of fsre emmating live from the sweatshop, slaving over
(01:45):
this hot microphone. We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot
com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get there
and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Rocket Vic says it's
been ten thousand years since Houston had a legitimate championship.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That's how long it's been.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Tire rack dot com the Way Tire Buying Show be
in a headline from South Beach, not Lincoln Road. No,
not Lincoln Road. That is the wrong answer. We're going
to the land of coconuts, hammocks and palm trees and
jet skis the whole thing. The dolphins going splash splash,
(02:34):
the Miami dolphins and what diny dolphins do. I assume
you've heard by now, but maybe you're a little slow.
You don't obsessed with this sporting news. You have a life,
You have people in your circle, you hang out with
you talk to you've got a job. So we learn
the Miami football team has said we want to pay
(02:56):
the man. So they paid to a tongue dialoga. Now
they didn't pay tour. The Dolphins and Jalen Waddle agreed
to a new three year extension. Show me the moday,
all right, how much money to get? Well? He wrecked
havoc on the salary scale, as Jalen Wattle has a
(03:19):
contract worth seventy six million dollars guarantee. There's actually more money,
but the guaranteed parts of the part that matters to us.
This will make Jalen Waddle the fourth highest paid receiver
in terms of annual value, behind only Tyreek Hill, Aman
Ross Saint Brown, and A. J.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Brown.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So if your last name is Brown, what can Brown
do for you? If you're a wide receiver? A lot
of money? A lot of money. So this is what
I want to talk to you about. The question, how
do you appraise the impact of Jalen Waddle's Dolphin extension
in terms of how it affects Tyreek Hill his team?
(04:01):
So I've got Camper, Doctor, Pimple, Popper, and vad Villian
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to drive a bulldozer through the Miami
Dolphins locker room, because that's what this is going to do.
Now to kick off, Jalen Wattle's extension not my money,
(04:22):
good for him, mazeletof you're buying dinner, Jalen Wattle. But
the extension, it does get a little little gummy that
complicates things because Tyreek Hill, who had been the NFL's
highest paid receiver, but he's still right there. Wattle is
now a top five money guy. So that makes the
(04:45):
Dolphin locker room a house of card situation. Now what
do only mean by that? Let me explain something's got
to give here. We're heading towards a tipping point. Now,
I'm a socap truther.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I am.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You know that I've got my tinfoil hat on under
my baseball cap. And while I am a salary cap truther,
Dad Gummett, you can have one player who's in the
top five or top ten, but you can't have to
The calculus just doesn't work. The calculus just does not work,
(05:25):
making this part of the story not only a house
of cards, it's a camper story. Dollars to donuts, Tyreek
Hill is going to be an unhappy camper in the
long run, Tyreek When all the dust settles there, Tyreek
Kill is going to be unhappy. He's thirty years old.
(05:46):
And we have heard that Tyreek Hill has been pestering
the Miami executives there say hey, I want a new contract.
This goes back to last year and every time he
has been jacket get out of here, You're out. Even
inca terror can see that the Dolphins are preparing to
(06:07):
give mister Hill a Greyhound bus ticket out of town
and Stevie Meatballs will drive him to the bus station.
The Cheetah and I'm never wrong about these things because
I have I have clairvoyancy. I'm a distant relative of
No stre Dama's friend of No Strautina's. So the Cheetah
(06:29):
will be trade fodder after the season. And not only that,
he has an out in his contract there the team
can get rid of him in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's the main.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Reason that Tyreek Hill wanted a new contract, because he
knows the Dolphins can get rid of him and if
he has a bad year this year he gets.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Hurt, his value is going to go down.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
So he wanted to have the money in hand, and
he ain't gonna get that.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
This waddle deal also impacts t Higgins in Cincinnati. Justin
in Cincinnati tells me the Bengals are having a garage
sale on Saturday, selling some televisions to try to pay
for t higgins contract.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That's embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I'm not making that up. By the way, Brandon Ayuk
of the forty nine Ers, his price just went up,
which means the Niners have a decision to make. Do
they keep him? Did they get rid of Deebo Samuel
the incumbent, How about ceedee Lamb in Dallas? We can
go on and on, on and on and on all right, now, furthermore,
(07:35):
let's turn now to mister popular, the one time vice
presidential candidate that never.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Was, Ain Rogers.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
The most interesting man in the NFL, Aaron Rodger. So
you might have seen this, maybe not. There was a
video that bounced around online showing Rogers. Mister Rogers is
working out OTAs and offseason workouts and all that, and
he was having someone from the medical staff futs around
(08:09):
with his feet.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Was caught on camera. So this of course led to
a natural reaction that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Sports fans have frenzied over the top engagement clickbait on
social media that it might have something to do with
the Achilles The Internet Sluice told us it might be
related to the Achilles' injury that he suffered.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
At the end of last year.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Now, Rogers confidant Pat McAfee, who pays Rogers a lot
of money to come on his YouTube show. Pat McAfee
said it was simply Rogers dealing with blisters and nothing more.
Nothing to see here, just a blister. So where is
the worry oh meter on the Aaron Rodgers foot issues
(08:57):
with the jets said to be blisters? So the Mather
worry oh meter, which is never wrong, never wrong, from
stem to stern, never wrong. Ten's the worst of the worst. Ten.
As they're amputating your leg, I am at a five.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Now you're saying, well, that's average, but that's kind of high.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
What are you doing? I'll tell you if it was
just blisters, it would be a two. However, we rarely
get the whole story. It's always kernels of truth, but
not the entire You know what, right, colonels the truth?
Now that being said, only blistering, only blistering. It's like
a no sweat bet from draftkicks, it's no sweat. Doctor
(09:46):
pimble Popper can let Aaron Rodgers know that you don't
have to worry about it. And I know this from
firsthand experience. This is how we relate to the story.
Your body will create a force field.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
You can listen to doctor pimple Popper.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You can listen to me. The human body, it's crazy.
It literally the immune system makes one from scratch. I
am the king of blisters. I have massive clod hoppers.
I have really big feet.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's a problem.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It's hard to get shoes that fit properly. And I
do walk a lot and wander around or whatever, and
so I end up when I go on the treadmill
sometimes I get blisters. And I've learned over the years
that if you get enough blisters in the same spot,
your body grows with the thing called callous. It actually
protects the skin. It's amazing, it's shocking. It's like we're
(10:38):
some kind of weird transformer, all right. Last thing to
cansa city we go where the chicken fingers are amazing
at the landing, the Ben Mather chicken fingers.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
The football team's pretty good too, but the.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Chiefs, a lot of a lot of you know what,
a lot of messing around or Kansas City and Gate
click bait. All that stuff depends whether you believe it
or not. It's part of the trick of the trade.
So we go to Kansas City. That is where Chiefs
Wide receiver Xavier Worthy went viral this week on the
(11:13):
TikTok that is a Chinese social media platform. So Xavier
Worthy went viral on the TikTok. He posted a video
showing him and his girlfriend flexing jewelry.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Right, look at my.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Jewel that's fine. But the video then he pivoted in
the video and his lady friend turned around so everyone
could see her dry air there and was getting ready
to twirk.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And then Xavier Worthy made it rain.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
He made it rain. Money came down, it was raining there.
It appeared to be all one dollar bills. They of
course recorded this, of course in the bathroom. Why not.
So this went all over the place, people freaking out,
other people saying, who cares chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy flashing
jewelry and money on social media. Granted it was one
(12:04):
dollar bills, but that is blank. That is blank. My
word is the p word predictable. That is my word predictable.
And while it is only one dollar bills, it's kind
of like a starter thing. And I was like, well,
that gets you started training wheels. You'll move on to
(12:25):
higher denominations. You start out with the one dollar bills
and then you move on. You get to the ten dollars,
then you go to the twenty. You might even skip
ten and five and just go to twenty and that's it.
But this reminds me of the words of a vaudevillian
performer turned radio gossip star in a different era, Walter Winchell,
(12:46):
one of the radio legends and a gossip guy, and
he had a line where he said, the same thing
happens today that happened yesterday, but only to different people.
And as I have gotten older and continue my gas baggerie,
I have realized that that is one of the great
quotes of our time because I have seen multiple generations
(13:10):
of athletes.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Lose all their.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Money and they it was so I'm not gonna lose
my money. I'm gonna people say, a full athlete and
his money are soon parted. And the data proves that
within two years of leaving the sport, seventy eight percent
of former NFL players are either under financial distress or
(13:36):
bankrupt within two years. And that survey was done years ago.
I bet you it's even higher now. And so whether
or not Xavier Worthy is good or not good, that
we'll see on the field. He certainly got the speed
to be a good player.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
It's not going to.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Affect the chiefs on the field like some people are,
like Andy the comic book guy and guys like that.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well see that Bill stayed away from this guy.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
But my experience is the players that go bankrupt, it
doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
They're still fine.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
It's when they quit playing football and they don't have
that supply of pesos that's the problem. And certainly I
would I would say, just based on the video and
making an opinion because I'm in the opinion business. Uh,
I'm gonna say, unless that's fake jewelry, Xavier Worthy is
in the fast lane headed to the path.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Of the poorhouse.
Speaker 2 (14:29):

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, the coopscoop on entertainment that'll be coming up in
a couple of minutes. We began with a little hot
football talk, Javin Waddle getting the money, show me the body.
He showed them the money, they showed him the money.
I thought we would take our first look, our first
peak ahead now that we know. Now that we know
the matchup in the NBA Finals, it starts this coming Thursday,
(16:48):
June sixth, this last day of May. The Mavericks, the
road team to start the Finals in Boston, start Thursday
night at eight thirty Eastern time. The opening point spread.
The Boston Celtics are a They opened a six and
a half point favorite and they are.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Down down to six.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
So the current the line I have is Boston buy six.
It is interesting to note I always want to see
where the early money is because that's you know, that's
how I that's how I roll, and the way this
works usually the you break it down this way. The
public money is the number of bets, the ticket count.
(17:34):
The one that I look at is the the handle right,
meaning the meaning the money, because that's the one that's
the professionals, and it is overwhelming early on the professionals
that are betting the mav Rex the information that I
have getting over eighty five percent of the early cash
(17:57):
on Dallas. So that's you that the layoff the Celtics layoff.
At least the sharps are betting that that's going to
carry over for Boston in Game one, that the Mavericks
will have an advantage in that game. As far as
the public, it's pretty even. Slight edge to Dallas, but
it's pretty even, and some of that is just reacting
(18:19):
because the Mavericks were so dominant, because Minnesota said, we're good.
We don't need to play. We do not need to play.
We're good. Justin in Cincinnati says he's very excited about
the month of June. It's his favorite month of the year.
Is also big for Robbie the Mariner fit. So you
two guys, good luck, good luck, knock yourself out there. Yeah,
(18:42):
the guy named David wright Sen says, I had to
think of you, he says to Eddie and the nickname
Ben Maler has for you when I saw the recreated
statue from the Shipwreck Museum visiting in Stockholm Home, Sweden. Oh,
look at that Eddie, David. I don't know if he's
(19:04):
in Stockholm, Sweden right now. Maybe he's not. He's a
big Vegas guy. But the name is a merman or
it says a Merman right there. Yeah, that's you, Ddie
on a statue. That's very nice. You have to go
with your wife to Sweden.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Well, only the NFL will play a game there and
we can go see the charge.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Oh, you know, you know what's funny. We were kidding
around about the NFL playing a game in the Middle
East and you having to go there and there. There
is a story that the NFL is considering putting a
game in the Middle East. How about that?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
That would be wild? Would you go Dubai? Right, we
were talking about Dubai. It seems like a pretty cool place.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, I Abu Dhabi was what the town was or
the location rather Abu All right, Yeah, does that do
anything for you?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Actually? I maybe maybe? Yeah, all right, I mean it
would be an excuse to see a part of the
world that I've never really planned on going. So yeah, yeah,
Actually I don't think my wife would be into it, though, No,
I don't think so. We'll see. Okay, when's that? When's that?
When's that?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Well, that's not I mean they're they're getting box right now.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
They're considering a game in the Middle East, likely in
Abu Dhabi, and which when they say considering a game,
they're just gonna sell a game. That's what they do.
They're like, all right, we're gonna sell a game because
they could get some oil baron to pay for the game.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Right, he'll probably build a damn stadium just with a
bunch of like slaves. They did it for the World Cup.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I know they do it again. Let's bring in uh
you slaves from China. When everyone will build a stadium
for the NFL for one game. That's it. Anyway, we
will take your phone calls as well as we are.
We're just we're just talking. We got the Coop scoop
coming up as well. Let's say hello to Jason in
Baton Rouge. Hello, Jason, Welcome Jason.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
If I was any better, i'd be your phone.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But no I wouldn't because it sounds like your phone's
not doing well.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
No, my phone's doing great because I just took you
off speak her phone. Anyway. The reason why I called
is because I'm I've been watching the w n b
A and the main reason for that is is because
I'm in love with Caitlin Clark. She's a superstar.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Now, when we say love, are you you mean like
a sports love or do you like a higher level love.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Sports love?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Okay, I was just checking.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I just want to I.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Like everything about her, I mean everything. She's she's got
great sportsmanship, she's competitive, she's just everything. It all started
when she pulled the upset and she put her team
on her back and she beats South Carolina in the NCA.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Okay, but I understand and you don't mind that her
two years w her w NBA team is terrible. She's
such a dream boat that you don't you don't care
about that.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Yeah, I just love the way she moves the needle.
I mean, she out stadiums, but it's not because she's
not controversial, moving the moving the needles like controversy.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
She doesn't controversy.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Is she really selling out stadiums?
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Though?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I have to watch these games to know.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I don't know if you're the w NBA guy Yetty.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
No, I'm not. I just read the scores because I'm
told to, but I don't. I mean, is she I'm
being serious. I know that there was a lot of excitement.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I know in l A last week they had a
big crowd.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I don't know, okay, but big crowd. And I'm not
saying she's effect. I think she's having an effect. But
is she selling out?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Yes? Well, Jason, I watched the game. I rushed home
to watch the end of the game. She was playing
the Sparks. It was their first win a game.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
And I think the only one. I think that's their
only that's it, right, is their.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Only win and the crowd in l A was going
crazy with Clark scored.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Well, I can tell Iowa Sam was there leading the charger.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
There is an infatuation I can tell by the can't
you tell the passion this guy Jason has in his voice.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Part of me is I can't believe it. It's a
w he.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Does have that if he's trolling, or if he's.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Sound like he's a little like there's a little he's
got kind of a dark back of his voice. Yeah,
there's a little bit there.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
I've always been a big gend guy.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Here you go, there you go. Now, that's the payoff
on that eddie right there. That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Right.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
No, I'm happy for the girls, you know, but you
know they're getting jealous of each other because they're jealous
of Caitlin Clark. But the problem the w n b
A is here's the problem. Here's the problem watching the games.
The games are too rough and the refs aren't calling
(24:21):
it close enough, and you know they should. If you
just touch Caitlin Clark, it should be a foul.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Kind of like.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I think if you if you stare at her, it's
like it's like a technical How about that?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
How about the injection because she moves to want to.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Go to jail? How about that?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I still don't know if.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
There's no way he can be that. There's no it
is satire. Yes, right, Jay, you're doing satire. There's no
way this is legit.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
I am, I'm serious.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
You know you're smiling. I can tell you smiling. You're
smiling right now.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Well, let me move to the NFL real quick.

Just one little Is Caitlin Clark your favorite NFL player?
Also a lot.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
One other things? Now, Cooper Dejohn he got drafted. He's
a cornerback. It's from my understanding him and Cole Bishop, uh,
the other guy from Utah that got drafted by the
Gills that they both went to the Jason Seahorn School
of Cornerbacks? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (25:33):

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, Alf writes, and he says, I'm pretty sure that
Iowa Sam was disguising his voice on that last.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
That was a good point. Yeah, didn't think about that.
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Matt the Warrior Raider tom Brady Rose Fan says, I
think Caitlin Clark moves that callers needle. It would appear
there would appear to be some of that going on.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Let's have some fun, Eddie, what do you say?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Fun fun fun fun fun fun.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Fun fact kind of fun. Well they're all fun, but yeah,
fun fact, all.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Right, fun fact. This comes from our friend Alf It
follow up to the Willie Mays story we talked about.
My favorite fun fact about Willie Mays is that he
bought a forever plane ticket on I think it was
American Airlines in back in the eighties, and he flew
any fly anywhere, play anywhere. It paid a flat fee
for the rest of his life. He's now ninety three.
(27:47):
So I bring this up because somebody named Tom Stucker
in nineteen ninety a car dealership consultant from New Jersey,
he bought a lifetime pass from United Airlines. He paid
two hundred ninety five thousand dollars for that right from
the airlines. Since then, he has flown over twenty million
(28:11):
mire miles twenty million miles plus, and it's said that
he has flown more than any individual in the history
of flight. And he purchased lifetime pass. Since then he
has saved, according to the fun Fact and estimated two
point three seven million dollars in airfare and baggage fees
(28:34):
over the many years here, So how much for him?
Look at the math on this, Eddy, So I did
the math. He paid two hundred ninety thousand dollars in
nineteen ninety In today's money, that is six hundred and
ninety five thousand dollars almost seven hundred thousand dollars. So
even at seven hundred thousand dollars of today's money, if
(28:57):
you had it, you would spend it, and you'd be
able to fly anywhere you want and take somebody with
you and all that and pretty pretty well that is
the fun Fact Eddie, and this portion of the show
made possible by thoroughbed racing. They have a new independent regulator.

Speaker 2 (29:11):

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Hoorry for Holly, What all right for ally Wa the
coop Scoop on entertainment.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Slowly, all right, Ben, We've got a couple couple things
to point out for you this weekend. First, we're gonna
go to the theaters. And there is just one movie
of note that I want to mention. It's a it's
actually a Disney movie, but it is. It's kind of
some sports mixed in kind of. It is the story
(29:57):
of competitive It's called Young Woman in the Sea, by
the way, and it is the story of competitive swimmer
Trudy Etterly, who in nineteen twenty six was the first
woman to ever swim across the English Channel and she
contracted with two newspapers and soldier store story there by
financing her quest. And that is played She is played
(30:19):
by Daisy Ridley of Star Wars fame. And this is
getting really good reviews. It's got an eighty six percent
on Rotten Tomatoes so far, one hundred percent audience score.
Obviously that could change, but that is in theaters right now.
Moving over to television, we have a new limited series.
(30:39):
It is a thriller. It is on Netflix and it
is called Eric and this is set in nineteen eighties
New York and it deals with police corruption amid the
NYPD search for a missing nine year old boy, while
the boys grieving an increasingly unstable father played by Benett Cumberbatch,
who is a popular TV kids show puppeteer in the
(31:00):
In the limited series, coped by talking to the monster
that lives under his son's bed. Now, this is apparently
based on a true story. That's all I know about this,
but it is on Netflix right now. It is called
Eric and Now.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I did watch Coop that that Blue Angels thing. I
have not done with it, but it's good.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Pretty it's good.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
It's good for me because I love the Blue angel.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
I started the the movie past one, but I did
not finish it. Yeah, ok that one wasn't pretty good
as well. Uh but I actually have a few documentaries
to talk about. A couple documentaries. The first one is
on Disney Plus and it is called Jim Henson Idea Man,
(31:44):
and it is a Ron Howard directed feature length documentary
about the creator of the Muppets, Jim Henson. What the
platforms are That one's on Disney Plus.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Okay, I don't get Disney.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
You don't have that one? Yeah, I didn't think you.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Would have that one not a child.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Moving over to Let me just make sure that I
know where this is actually on. Okay, this is on
HBO and Max, HBO, Max, whatever if they want to
call it now. This premiere's on Sunday night at nine pm.
This one I'm on noting specifically for Lorena. It is
a documentary docuseries called Renfair.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Love It.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
Yes. It is a comedic docuseries that follows a group
of employees at the world's largest renaissance festival as they
vite to succeed the company's retiring eighty six year old leader.
It is a three part series.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Where is the largest love that event?
Speaker 6 (32:42):
That is a good question. It does not say in
this summary. Well, I know, the big one that my
girl goes to is in Bristol. It's called Bristol. It's
over in La the center of America. Well, a quick
Google search tells me that the Texas Renaissance Festival is
the world of lart just Renaissance Fair and nearly four
(33:02):
hundred thousand people attend yearly in Plantersville, Texas. But I'm
not sure if that's the one that's I mean, it's
says it's the about the world's largest one, so you
would imagine that's that's what it's about.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I was just looking at Loraina.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
She gave me like this discount airline thing, so I looked,
and they do fly from here to Brownsville, Texas. But
I don't think that's near Brownsville. I think you're I
bet we could take a horse from Brownsville to the
other I'm looking. Brownsville, Texas is like right on the
great bottom of Texas, right near Mexico.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Crazy? All right.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
Two more things to note. We have yet another live
action Star Wars series, premiering on Tuesday, June fourth. This
is this one's called The Acolyte. I love Star Wars,
like I feels Disney is doing a little bit too
much for me.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
No, there's saturation, yes, yeah, this one apparently has a
Wookie Jedi.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
And then all right, we're out of ideas, Go smoke
some weed, come back.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
We got all right.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
And then the very last one here, I unfortunately have
to bring this up. It's got pretty good reviews, but
I imagine it's probably gonna bomb in the ratings because
who wants to watch this?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Premiering Tuesday, June fourth on Hulu is a another Prestige
drama series about a basketball team. This one is called Clipped.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Oh yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Tell you I'm not really interested in that.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I don't, but I actually I knew a lot of
the people that read it, right, I was around a
lot of them back in the day, and so it's
a bit but it's like kind a little awkward.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
I mean it's like who they're being put like who's
being portrayed.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Just like they know like a lot of things that
probably aren't in that.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
And I don't know, like guys around stir several times
and had running ELM. Baylor, I knew a little bit.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Donald Sterling is played by Ed O'Neill oh Al Bundy. Yeah,
that is right, and Lawrence Fishburne plays Doc Rivers hopefully.
So yeah, do you're interested in that? Tuesday June fourth,
the first two episodes and then they we'll come weekly
after that. And that is koop scoop entertainment.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
All right, very good.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
It is the Ben Mallor Show, and we are going
to have do we even have time for this coop
at this point? Here?
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Does not look like it.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I do not believe we have time so we will
end no Sports Jeopardy false advertising. Bad job by us.
The pick is in though.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
We will get to that and we will do it.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
And also, by the way, you got to get that
eating your words thing from early. We never paid that off.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
We'll do it next.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, normally we would have Sports Shepherd here, but it
went along and so I wanted to play this anyway.
I'm glad we had time for this. The Oakland Athletics
are a terrible baseball team, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
They have nobody you'd.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Pay to watch play.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
The franchise has a owner who inherited.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
The team and he's trying to cash in, so he's
moving the team to Vegas, but they got to go
to Sacramento. They also have a play by play announcer
names Jenny Kavner I believe is her name, and she's
become famous on the internet for all the wrong reasons.
She's apparently really bad at her job. But listen to
this this latest example. So the the A's are playing
(37:01):
the Rays this week, A's and Rays in Tampa and
the Tampa Bay Baseball team at in the ninth inning.
Uh they have at at home plate is a Well,
let's just play the other Let's let's go to the
audio tape.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Listen, Hey Siri, it's not your night.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Filling Mason Miller, I have some payback in his back
pocket for what Siri did to the A's yesterday.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
The next pitch, Joe and that's launch towards let's field
comes at.
Speaker 8 (37:35):
The back of hose sirilong in another homer, Hey Siri,
it's not your night.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
The next pitch cut boom to the moon. Outstanding, Yeah,
out outstanding. Also, we learned that that good job, you
could not have been more wrong trying to trash talk,
and then the guy hits home run. They have picked
the new team for Hard Knocks. This used to be
(38:11):
a big deal, the Chicago Bears. The upcoming season will
have the Bears, Caleb Williams and the Bears to be
featured on Hard Knocks, which will be Chicago Bears porn.
They'll make you think the Chicago Bears are back to
being the monsters of the Midway. I promise you that
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our Dumber for for crying out Loud, the Original
Recipe podcast, and we have some scores to settle on
this pig skin Poloosa And how do you appraise how
do you appraise this impact for Jalen Wattles dolphin extension
on Tyreek Hill? What's the impact on Tyreek Hill from
(00:23):
Jalen Wattles extension with the Dolphins? Also, where is the
worry oh meter on the Aaron Rodgers reported foot issues
with the Jets during offseason workouts and Chiefs rookie Xavier
Worthy flashing jewelry and money on social media is blank.
We'll get to that. Also, don't forget Big Ben's Big
(00:46):
board on the podcast. The Fifth Hour podcast available today.
We'll have a new pod tomorrow and on Sunday. Wherever
you get your podcast, where you got this one, we
have that for you as well.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We'll slide into May, or the end of May will
slide into and this is the last day of May.
Here it is our number four. Just waddle this way
right into a massive pile of cash. Yeah, just do that. Well,
come in the beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We are in the air everywhere, hot on the case
as we literally play with our food coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and extravagantly powerful
microphones of fsre emmating live from the sweatshop, slaving over
(01:45):
this hot microphone. We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot
com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get there
and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Rocket Vic says it's
been ten thousand years since Houston had a legitimate championship.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That's how long it's been.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Tire rack dot com the Way Tire Buying Show be
in a headline from South Beach, not Lincoln Road. No,
not Lincoln Road. That is the wrong answer. We're going
to the land of coconuts, hammocks and palm trees and
jet skis the whole thing. The dolphins going splash splash,
(02:34):
the Miami dolphins and what diny dolphins do. I assume
you've heard by now, but maybe you're a little slow.
You don't obsessed with this sporting news. You have a life,
You have people in your circle, you hang out with
you talk to you've got a job. So we learn
the Miami football team has said we want to pay
(02:56):
the man. So they paid to a tongue dialoga. Now
they didn't pay tour. The Dolphins and Jalen Waddle agreed
to a new three year extension. Show me the moday,
all right, how much money to get? Well? He wrecked
havoc on the salary scale, as Jalen Wattle has a
(03:19):
contract worth seventy six million dollars guarantee. There's actually more money,
but the guaranteed parts of the part that matters to us.
This will make Jalen Waddle the fourth highest paid receiver
in terms of annual value, behind only Tyreek Hill, Aman
Ross Saint Brown, and A. J.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Brown.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So if your last name is Brown, what can Brown
do for you? If you're a wide receiver? A lot
of money? A lot of money. So this is what
I want to talk to you about. The question, how
do you appraise the impact of Jalen Waddle's Dolphin extension
in terms of how it affects Tyreek Hill his team?
(04:01):
So I've got Camper, Doctor, Pimple, Popper, and vad Villian
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to drive a bulldozer through the Miami
Dolphins locker room, because that's what this is going to do.
Now to kick off, Jalen Wattle's extension not my money,
(04:22):
good for him, mazeletof you're buying dinner, Jalen Wattle. But
the extension, it does get a little little gummy that
complicates things because Tyreek Hill, who had been the NFL's
highest paid receiver, but he's still right there. Wattle is
now a top five money guy. So that makes the
(04:45):
Dolphin locker room a house of card situation. Now what
do only mean by that? Let me explain something's got
to give here. We're heading towards a tipping point. Now,
I'm a socap truther.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I am.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You know that I've got my tinfoil hat on under
my baseball cap. And while I am a salary cap truther,
Dad Gummett, you can have one player who's in the
top five or top ten, but you can't have to
The calculus just doesn't work. The calculus just does not work,
(05:25):
making this part of the story not only a house
of cards, it's a camper story. Dollars to donuts, Tyreek
Hill is going to be an unhappy camper in the
long run, Tyreek When all the dust settles there, Tyreek
Kill is going to be unhappy. He's thirty years old.
(05:46):
And we have heard that Tyreek Hill has been pestering
the Miami executives there say hey, I want a new contract.
This goes back to last year and every time he
has been jacket get out of here, You're out. Even
inca terror can see that the Dolphins are preparing to
(06:07):
give mister Hill a Greyhound bus ticket out of town
and Stevie Meatballs will drive him to the bus station.
The Cheetah and I'm never wrong about these things because
I have I have clairvoyancy. I'm a distant relative of
No stre Dama's friend of No Strautina's. So the Cheetah
(06:29):
will be trade fodder after the season. And not only that,
he has an out in his contract there the team
can get rid of him in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's the main.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Reason that Tyreek Hill wanted a new contract, because he
knows the Dolphins can get rid of him and if
he has a bad year this year he gets.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Hurt, his value is going to go down.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
So he wanted to have the money in hand, and
he ain't gonna get that.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
This waddle deal also impacts t Higgins in Cincinnati. Justin
in Cincinnati tells me the Bengals are having a garage
sale on Saturday, selling some televisions to try to pay
for t higgins contract.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That's embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I'm not making that up. By the way, Brandon Ayuk
of the forty nine Ers, his price just went up,
which means the Niners have a decision to make. Do
they keep him? Did they get rid of Deebo Samuel
the incumbent, How about ceedee Lamb in Dallas? We can
go on and on, on and on and on all right, now, furthermore,
(07:35):
let's turn now to mister popular, the one time vice
presidential candidate that never.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Was, Ain Rogers.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
The most interesting man in the NFL, Aaron Rodger. So
you might have seen this, maybe not. There was a
video that bounced around online showing Rogers. Mister Rogers is
working out OTAs and offseason workouts and all that, and
he was having someone from the medical staff futs around
(08:09):
with his feet.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Was caught on camera. So this of course led to
a natural reaction that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Sports fans have frenzied over the top engagement clickbait on
social media that it might have something to do with
the Achilles The Internet Sluice told us it might be
related to the Achilles' injury that he suffered.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
At the end of last year.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Now, Rogers confidant Pat McAfee, who pays Rogers a lot
of money to come on his YouTube show. Pat McAfee
said it was simply Rogers dealing with blisters and nothing more.
Nothing to see here, just a blister. So where is
the worry oh meter on the Aaron Rodgers foot issues
(08:57):
with the jets said to be blisters? So the Mather
worry oh meter, which is never wrong, never wrong, from
stem to stern, never wrong. Ten's the worst of the worst. Ten.
As they're amputating your leg, I am at a five.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Now you're saying, well, that's average, but that's kind of high.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
What are you doing? I'll tell you if it was
just blisters, it would be a two. However, we rarely
get the whole story. It's always kernels of truth, but
not the entire You know what, right, colonels the truth?
Now that being said, only blistering, only blistering. It's like
a no sweat bet from draftkicks, it's no sweat. Doctor
(09:46):
pimble Popper can let Aaron Rodgers know that you don't
have to worry about it. And I know this from
firsthand experience. This is how we relate to the story.
Your body will create a force field.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
You can listen to doctor pimple Popper.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You can listen to me. The human body, it's crazy.
It literally the immune system makes one from scratch. I
am the king of blisters. I have massive clod hoppers.
I have really big feet.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's a problem.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It's hard to get shoes that fit properly. And I
do walk a lot and wander around or whatever, and
so I end up when I go on the treadmill
sometimes I get blisters. And I've learned over the years
that if you get enough blisters in the same spot,
your body grows with the thing called callous. It actually
protects the skin. It's amazing, it's shocking. It's like we're
(10:38):
some kind of weird transformer, all right. Last thing to
cansa city we go where the chicken fingers are amazing
at the landing, the Ben Mather chicken fingers.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
The football team's pretty good too, but the.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Chiefs, a lot of a lot of you know what,
a lot of messing around or Kansas City and Gate
click bait. All that stuff depends whether you believe it
or not. It's part of the trick of the trade.
So we go to Kansas City. That is where Chiefs
Wide receiver Xavier Worthy went viral this week on the
(11:13):
TikTok that is a Chinese social media platform. So Xavier
Worthy went viral on the TikTok. He posted a video
showing him and his girlfriend flexing jewelry.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Right, look at my.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Jewel that's fine. But the video then he pivoted in
the video and his lady friend turned around so everyone
could see her dry air there and was getting ready
to twirk.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And then Xavier Worthy made it rain.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
He made it rain. Money came down, it was raining there.
It appeared to be all one dollar bills. They of
course recorded this, of course in the bathroom. Why not.
So this went all over the place, people freaking out,
other people saying, who cares chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy flashing
jewelry and money on social media. Granted it was one
(12:04):
dollar bills, but that is blank. That is blank. My
word is the p word predictable. That is my word predictable.
And while it is only one dollar bills, it's kind
of like a starter thing. And I was like, well,
that gets you started training wheels. You'll move on to
(12:25):
higher denominations. You start out with the one dollar bills
and then you move on. You get to the ten dollars,
then you go to the twenty. You might even skip
ten and five and just go to twenty and that's it.
But this reminds me of the words of a vaudevillian
performer turned radio gossip star in a different era, Walter Winchell,
(12:46):
one of the radio legends and a gossip guy, and
he had a line where he said, the same thing
happens today that happened yesterday, but only to different people.
And as I have gotten older and continue my gas baggerie,
I have realized that that is one of the great
quotes of our time because I have seen multiple generations
(13:10):
of athletes.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Lose all their.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Money and they it was so I'm not gonna lose
my money. I'm gonna people say, a full athlete and
his money are soon parted. And the data proves that
within two years of leaving the sport, seventy eight percent
of former NFL players are either under financial distress or
(13:36):
bankrupt within two years. And that survey was done years ago.
I bet you it's even higher now. And so whether
or not Xavier Worthy is good or not good, that
we'll see on the field. He certainly got the speed
to be a good player.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
It's not going to.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Affect the chiefs on the field like some people are,
like Andy the comic book guy and guys like that.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well see that Bill stayed away from this guy.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
But my experience is the players that go bankrupt, it
doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
They're still fine.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
It's when they quit playing football and they don't have
that supply of pesos that's the problem. And certainly I
would I would say, just based on the video and
making an opinion because I'm in the opinion business. Uh,
I'm gonna say, unless that's fake jewelry, Xavier Worthy is
in the fast lane headed to the path.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Of the poorhouse.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
But what do I know? It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, the coopscoop on entertainment that'll be coming up in
a couple of minutes. We began with a little hot
football talk, Javin Waddle getting the money, show me the body.
He showed them the money, they showed him the money.
I thought we would take our first look, our first
peak ahead now that we know. Now that we know
the matchup in the NBA Finals, it starts this coming Thursday,
(16:48):
June sixth, this last day of May. The Mavericks, the
road team to start the Finals in Boston, start Thursday
night at eight thirty Eastern time. The opening point spread.
The Boston Celtics are a They opened a six and
a half point favorite and they are.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Down down to six.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
So the current the line I have is Boston buy six.
It is interesting to note I always want to see
where the early money is because that's you know, that's
how I that's how I roll, and the way this
works usually the you break it down this way. The
public money is the number of bets, the ticket count.
(17:34):
The one that I look at is the the handle right,
meaning the meaning the money, because that's the one that's
the professionals, and it is overwhelming early on the professionals
that are betting the mav Rex the information that I
have getting over eighty five percent of the early cash
(17:57):
on Dallas. So that's you that the layoff the Celtics layoff.
At least the sharps are betting that that's going to
carry over for Boston in Game one, that the Mavericks
will have an advantage in that game. As far as
the public, it's pretty even. Slight edge to Dallas, but
it's pretty even, and some of that is just reacting
(18:19):
because the Mavericks were so dominant, because Minnesota said, we're good.
We don't need to play. We do not need to play.
We're good. Justin in Cincinnati says he's very excited about
the month of June. It's his favorite month of the year.
Is also big for Robbie the Mariner fit. So you
two guys, good luck, good luck, knock yourself out there. Yeah,
(18:42):
the guy named David wright Sen says, I had to
think of you, he says to Eddie and the nickname
Ben Maler has for you when I saw the recreated
statue from the Shipwreck Museum visiting in Stockholm Home, Sweden. Oh,
look at that Eddie, David. I don't know if he's
(19:04):
in Stockholm, Sweden right now. Maybe he's not. He's a
big Vegas guy. But the name is a merman or
it says a Merman right there. Yeah, that's you, Ddie
on a statue. That's very nice. You have to go
with your wife to Sweden.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Well, only the NFL will play a game there and
we can go see the charge.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Oh, you know, you know what's funny. We were kidding
around about the NFL playing a game in the Middle
East and you having to go there and there. There
is a story that the NFL is considering putting a
game in the Middle East. How about that?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
That would be wild? Would you go Dubai? Right, we
were talking about Dubai. It seems like a pretty cool place.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, I Abu Dhabi was what the town was or
the location rather Abu All right, Yeah, does that do
anything for you?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Actually? I maybe maybe? Yeah, all right, I mean it
would be an excuse to see a part of the
world that I've never really planned on going. So yeah, yeah,
Actually I don't think my wife would be into it, though, No,
I don't think so. We'll see. Okay, when's that? When's that?
When's that?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Well, that's not I mean they're they're getting box right now.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
They're considering a game in the Middle East, likely in
Abu Dhabi, and which when they say considering a game,
they're just gonna sell a game. That's what they do.
They're like, all right, we're gonna sell a game because
they could get some oil baron to pay for the game.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Right, he'll probably build a damn stadium just with a
bunch of like slaves. They did it for the World Cup.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I know they do it again. Let's bring in uh
you slaves from China. When everyone will build a stadium
for the NFL for one game. That's it. Anyway, we
will take your phone calls as well as we are.
We're just we're just talking. We got the Coop scoop
coming up as well. Let's say hello to Jason in
Baton Rouge. Hello, Jason, Welcome Jason.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
If I was any better, i'd be your phone.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But no I wouldn't because it sounds like your phone's
not doing well.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
No, my phone's doing great because I just took you
off speak her phone. Anyway. The reason why I called
is because I'm I've been watching the w n b
A and the main reason for that is is because
I'm in love with Caitlin Clark. She's a superstar.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Now, when we say love, are you you mean like
a sports love or do you like a higher level love.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Sports love?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Okay, I was just checking.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I just want to I.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Like everything about her, I mean everything. She's she's got
great sportsmanship, she's competitive, she's just everything. It all started
when she pulled the upset and she put her team
on her back and she beats South Carolina in the NCA.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Okay, but I understand and you don't mind that her
two years w her w NBA team is terrible. She's
such a dream boat that you don't you don't care
about that.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Yeah, I just love the way she moves the needle.
I mean, she out stadiums, but it's not because she's
not controversial, moving the moving the needles like controversy.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
She doesn't controversy.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Is she really selling out stadiums?
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Though?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I have to watch these games to know.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I don't know if you're the w NBA guy Yetty.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
No, I'm not. I just read the scores because I'm
told to, but I don't. I mean, is she I'm
being serious. I know that there was a lot of excitement.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I know in l A last week they had a
big crowd.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I don't know, okay, but big crowd. And I'm not
saying she's effect. I think she's having an effect. But
is she selling out?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Yes? Well, Jason, I watched the game. I rushed home
to watch the end of the game. She was playing
the Sparks. It was their first win a game.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
And I think the only one. I think that's their
only that's it, right, is their.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Only win and the crowd in l A was going
crazy with Clark scored.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Well, I can tell Iowa Sam was there leading the charger.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
There is an infatuation I can tell by the can't
you tell the passion this guy Jason has in his voice.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Part of me is I can't believe it. It's a
w he.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Does have that if he's trolling, or if he's.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Sound like he's a little like there's a little he's
got kind of a dark back of his voice. Yeah,
there's a little bit there.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
I've always been a big gend guy.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Here you go, there you go. Now, that's the payoff
on that eddie right there. That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Right.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
No, I'm happy for the girls, you know, but you
know they're getting jealous of each other because they're jealous
of Caitlin Clark. But the problem the w n b
A is here's the problem. Here's the problem watching the games.
The games are too rough and the refs aren't calling
(24:21):
it close enough, and you know they should. If you
just touch Caitlin Clark, it should be a foul.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Kind of like.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I think if you if you stare at her, it's
like it's like a technical How about that?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
How about the injection because she moves to want to.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Go to jail? How about that?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I still don't know if.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
There's no way he can be that. There's no it
is satire. Yes, right, Jay, you're doing satire. There's no
way this is legit.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
I am, I'm serious.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
You know you're smiling. I can tell you smiling. You're
smiling right now.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Well, let me move to the NFL real quick.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Just one little Is Caitlin Clark your favorite NFL player?
Also a lot.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
One other things? Now, Cooper Dejohn he got drafted. He's
a cornerback. It's from my understanding him and Cole Bishop, uh,
the other guy from Utah that got drafted by the
Gills that they both went to the Jason Seahorn School
of Cornerbacks? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (25:33):
There?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
White? Is that the Is that the the joke on?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I heard Jason s I got a great Jason.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
See, I'll let you go. You've had way too much airtime.
Thank you, though I enjoyed your starcas. Jason Sehorn worked
at Fox Sports Radio. Was the last for years. I
guess there's other guys that last. White defensive back. And
he worked at Fox Sports Radio and then got a
TV job, So he worked here for like two weeks
and then got I remember he got like a TV.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Job, So be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Mellor Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
We did have the WNBA score we have to pass along.
We storm beat the fever one O three eighty eight
Kitlin Clark at twenty points. Indiana is one in eight
on the season. And for our last caller. Great news
because WNBA stars Brianna Stewart and Pisia Collier launching a
new three on three pro women's basketball league. It's called Unrivaled.
(26:30):
It will give women's athletes an alternative to have ANUE
play overseas. The league will feature six teams. It'll launch
in January and reportedly will set records for the highest
average salary in women's pro sports league history.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Okay, well that's wonderful. Let me know how that.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Are you going to give those scores to Eddie.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
If I'm if I'm, if I'm ordered to, I will.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, Alf writes, and he says, I'm pretty sure that
Iowa Sam was disguising his voice on that last.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
That was a good point. Yeah, didn't think about that.
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Matt the Warrior Raider tom Brady Rose Fan says, I
think Caitlin Clark moves that callers needle. It would appear
there would appear to be some of that going on.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Let's have some fun, Eddie, what do you say?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Fun fun fun fun fun fun.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Fun fact kind of fun. Well they're all fun, but yeah,
fun fact, all.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Right, fun fact. This comes from our friend Alf It
follow up to the Willie Mays story we talked about.
My favorite fun fact about Willie Mays is that he
bought a forever plane ticket on I think it was
American Airlines in back in the eighties, and he flew
any fly anywhere, play anywhere. It paid a flat fee
for the rest of his life. He's now ninety three.
(27:47):
So I bring this up because somebody named Tom Stucker
in nineteen ninety a car dealership consultant from New Jersey,
he bought a lifetime pass from United Airlines. He paid
two hundred ninety five thousand dollars for that right from
the airlines. Since then, he has flown over twenty million
(28:11):
mire miles twenty million miles plus, and it's said that
he has flown more than any individual in the history
of flight. And he purchased lifetime pass. Since then he
has saved, according to the fun Fact and estimated two
point three seven million dollars in airfare and baggage fees
(28:34):
over the many years here, So how much for him?
Look at the math on this, Eddy, So I did
the math. He paid two hundred ninety thousand dollars in
nineteen ninety In today's money, that is six hundred and
ninety five thousand dollars almost seven hundred thousand dollars. So
even at seven hundred thousand dollars of today's money, if
(28:57):
you had it, you would spend it, and you'd be
able to fly anywhere you want and take somebody with
you and all that and pretty pretty well that is
the fun Fact Eddie, and this portion of the show
made possible by thoroughbed racing. They have a new independent regulator.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Are you listening to Loreina?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
They do? It's Haisa, that's right, remember that name, Haisa.
That is implementing comprehensive reforms and the sport is combining
hands on care with cutting edge technology to help keep
its athlete safe. To learn more, visit Safety Runs First

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Hoorry for Holly, What all right for ally Wa the
coop Scoop on entertainment.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Slowly, all right, Ben, We've got a couple couple things
to point out for you this weekend. First, we're gonna
go to the theaters. And there is just one movie
of note that I want to mention. It's a it's
actually a Disney movie, but it is. It's kind of
some sports mixed in kind of. It is the story
(29:57):
of competitive It's called Young Woman in the Sea, by
the way, and it is the story of competitive swimmer
Trudy Etterly, who in nineteen twenty six was the first
woman to ever swim across the English Channel and she
contracted with two newspapers and soldier store story there by
financing her quest. And that is played She is played
(30:19):
by Daisy Ridley of Star Wars fame. And this is
getting really good reviews. It's got an eighty six percent
on Rotten Tomatoes so far, one hundred percent audience score.
Obviously that could change, but that is in theaters right now.
Moving over to television, we have a new limited series.
(30:39):
It is a thriller. It is on Netflix and it
is called Eric and this is set in nineteen eighties
New York and it deals with police corruption amid the
NYPD search for a missing nine year old boy, while
the boys grieving an increasingly unstable father played by Benett Cumberbatch,
who is a popular TV kids show puppeteer in the
(31:00):
In the limited series, coped by talking to the monster
that lives under his son's bed. Now, this is apparently
based on a true story. That's all I know about this,
but it is on Netflix right now. It is called
Eric and Now.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I did watch Coop that that Blue Angels thing. I
have not done with it, but it's good.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Pretty it's good.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
It's good for me because I love the Blue angel.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
I started the the movie past one, but I did
not finish it. Yeah, ok that one wasn't pretty good
as well. Uh but I actually have a few documentaries
to talk about. A couple documentaries. The first one is
on Disney Plus and it is called Jim Henson Idea Man,
(31:44):
and it is a Ron Howard directed feature length documentary
about the creator of the Muppets, Jim Henson. What the
platforms are That one's on Disney Plus.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Okay, I don't get Disney.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
You don't have that one? Yeah, I didn't think you.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Would have that one not a child.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Moving over to Let me just make sure that I
know where this is actually on. Okay, this is on
HBO and Max, HBO, Max, whatever if they want to
call it now. This premiere's on Sunday night at nine pm.
This one I'm on noting specifically for Lorena. It is
a documentary docuseries called Renfair.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Love It.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
Yes. It is a comedic docuseries that follows a group
of employees at the world's largest renaissance festival as they
vite to succeed the company's retiring eighty six year old leader.
It is a three part series.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Where is the largest love that event?
Speaker 6 (32:42):
That is a good question. It does not say in
this summary. Well, I know, the big one that my
girl goes to is in Bristol. It's called Bristol. It's
over in La the center of America. Well, a quick
Google search tells me that the Texas Renaissance Festival is
the world of lart just Renaissance Fair and nearly four
(33:02):
hundred thousand people attend yearly in Plantersville, Texas. But I'm
not sure if that's the one that's I mean, it's
says it's the about the world's largest one, so you
would imagine that's that's what it's about.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I was just looking at Loraina.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
She gave me like this discount airline thing, so I looked,
and they do fly from here to Brownsville, Texas. But
I don't think that's near Brownsville. I think you're I
bet we could take a horse from Brownsville to the
other I'm looking. Brownsville, Texas is like right on the
great bottom of Texas, right near Mexico.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Crazy? All right.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
Two more things to note. We have yet another live
action Star Wars series, premiering on Tuesday, June fourth. This
is this one's called The Acolyte. I love Star Wars,
like I feels Disney is doing a little bit too
much for me.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
No, there's saturation, yes, yeah, this one apparently has a
Wookie Jedi.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
And then all right, we're out of ideas, Go smoke
some weed, come back.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
We got all right.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
And then the very last one here, I unfortunately have
to bring this up. It's got pretty good reviews, but
I imagine it's probably gonna bomb in the ratings because
who wants to watch this?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Premiering Tuesday, June fourth on Hulu is a another Prestige
drama series about a basketball team. This one is called Clipped.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Oh yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Tell you I'm not really interested in that.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I don't, but I actually I knew a lot of
the people that read it, right, I was around a
lot of them back in the day, and so it's
a bit but it's like kind a little awkward.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
I mean it's like who they're being put like who's
being portrayed.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Just like they know like a lot of things that
probably aren't in that.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
And I don't know, like guys around stir several times
and had running ELM. Baylor, I knew a little bit.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Donald Sterling is played by Ed O'Neill oh Al Bundy. Yeah,
that is right, and Lawrence Fishburne plays Doc Rivers hopefully.
So yeah, do you're interested in that? Tuesday June fourth,
the first two episodes and then they we'll come weekly
after that. And that is koop scoop entertainment.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
All right, very good.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
It is the Ben Mallor Show, and we are going
to have do we even have time for this coop
at this point? Here?
Speaker 6 (35:35):
Does not look like it.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I do not believe we have time so we will
end no Sports Jeopardy false advertising. Bad job by us.
The pick is in though.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
We will get to that and we will do it.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
And also, by the way, you got to get that
eating your words thing from early. We never paid that off.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
We'll do it next.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, normally we would have Sports Shepherd here, but it
went along and so I wanted to play this anyway.
I'm glad we had time for this. The Oakland Athletics
are a terrible baseball team, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
They have nobody you'd.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Pay to watch play.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
The franchise has a owner who inherited.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
The team and he's trying to cash in, so he's
moving the team to Vegas, but they got to go
to Sacramento. They also have a play by play announcer
names Jenny Kavner I believe is her name, and she's
become famous on the internet for all the wrong reasons.
She's apparently really bad at her job. But listen to
this this latest example. So the the A's are playing
(37:01):
the Rays this week, A's and Rays in Tampa and
the Tampa Bay Baseball team at in the ninth inning.
Uh they have at at home plate is a Well,
let's just play the other Let's let's go to the
audio tape.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Listen, Hey Siri, it's not your night.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Filling Mason Miller, I have some payback in his back
pocket for what Siri did to the A's yesterday.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
The next pitch, Joe and that's launch towards let's field
comes at.
Speaker 8 (37:35):
The back of hose sirilong in another homer, Hey Siri,
it's not your night.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
The next pitch cut boom to the moon. Outstanding, Yeah,
out outstanding. Also, we learned that that good job, you
could not have been more wrong trying to trash talk,
and then the guy hits home run. They have picked
the new team for Hard Knocks. This used to be
(38:11):
a big deal, the Chicago Bears. The upcoming season will
have the Bears, Caleb Williams and the Bears to be
featured on Hard Knocks, which will be Chicago Bears porn.
They'll make you think the Chicago Bears are back to
being the monsters of the Midway. I promise you that
