Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bird two, our two
ready to go.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It's all about big food, big wiener, if you will,
how do you process the shocking revelation that the goat
of goats, Joey Chestnut, has been banished from the July
fourth hot dog eating contest for taking money from a
rival sponsor. And do you understand the rationale of the
Nathan hot Dog Eating Contest? Is Joey Chestnut going to torment?
(00:33):
The staple of American pop culture on the fourth of
July will cover all of those bases. Get a life
update from our favorite vagrant in Miami, and who knows
what else here? It is our number two sent to
the fat farm. Get out of here. Well come. In
(00:53):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
we are in the air, were everywhere socializing.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
As we put you under a spell.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Coast to coast, port, the border and beyond on the
best and heart stoppingly powerful microphones of fsre emmating live
from the Pillar as in the Pillar of Strength. We
are broadcasting live from the Tiraq dot com studios. Tyraq
dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
(01:30):
fast free shipping, free road hazard Protection and over ten
thousand are recommended installers, almost as many miles as Trucker
Joe has driven the highways and byways of America. Tire
ract dot com the way tire buying should be. So
(01:50):
it takes a lot to have baseball knocked out of
a monologue.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And this is a really dramatic story here.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It comes from in many ways the dinner table a
stunner from down under. Now, I assume you've heard by
now if you're listening, but maybe you missed it. We
talked about it briefly, but we learned early in the
day on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
We learned early in the day on Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That Major League Eating has outlawed Joey Jaws Chestnut. Let
me repeat that for those of you in the back round.
Joey Chestnut has been banned. Chestnut is banned from participating
in the twenty twenty four Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
because he partnered with a rival brand of wieners and
(02:42):
they're fake wieners. He's selling fake wieners. So Chestnut recently
signed a deal with something called Impossible Foods, and they
are apparently a rival. I don't know how you consider
them a rival because they're not anything like a Nathan's
hot Dog in my my and my opinion's opinion. So they,
(03:07):
I guess, launched a vegan sausage, a vegan wiener who
wants that now. As a result, the people at mL
have ruled that as long as the sixteen time champion
of the World, the hottest of the hot dogs, sixteen
(03:30):
time champion, Joycechestern, as long as he has a deal
with this rival brand, it's turnout the last the parties over,
he will be persona non grata. At the Midsummer Spectacle
July fourth, I wrap myself in the flag every year
on July fourth and I watch those wieners go.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Down, and I love it. Every year.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's my that's my routine every year. Do a monologue
about it every year. I don't know that I will
do that this year.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I might not so.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Chest Nutt said he learned that he was banned from
social media, which is really not that shocking. Don't most
people learn things from social media. I'll bet you that
Chestnut was made aware he could be banned. I'm guessing
there was a back and forth here. They say, you
know you might be banned, and you know, we're thinking
(04:22):
about banning. And then he found out on social says
he has been training intensely to defend his Yellow Mustard
Belt title, the belt that he gets for winning that award,
and he said he was gutted, much like when he
asked to go to the bathroom after he eats all
those hot dogs and buns. And Chestnut says he does
(04:44):
not have a formal contract with Major League Eating or
the Nathan's Hotdog people, and he claimed they're changing the rules.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's changing the rules now as it relates to partnerships
for Joey Jaws. That's his story and he's sticking to it.
So let us discuss the question here as we talk
about this, how do you process the single greatest competitor
in modern times in Western world? Joey Chestnut banished from
(05:16):
the July fourth hot Dog Contest in New York. So
I've got Birmingham, Stealth Bomber, and hob Goblin and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a very busy, very busy toilet which
(05:37):
Joey Chestnut spends a lot of time on when he's
done with these eating contests. But to lead off your
full disclosure, I am not fair in balanced when it
comes to Joey chestnutt I like the guy.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I've had him on my podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't usually do a lot of interviews anymore because
that requires booking guests, and we don't do that takes effort,
so we normally just you know, just be asked. But
the one every year I got to get Joey Chestnut,
and I have his numb so it's fortunately I can
get a hold of him when I need to get
a hold of him. So I like the guy. I'm
a long time you know, I don't like anybody. I'm
an admirer. I call him the god of gluttony, Joey Chestnut.
(06:10):
And there's a lot of debate in sports radio about you.
It's Lebron Better's, it Jordan's and.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I guess it depends how old you are. That kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
There is no argument, none in major league eating, zero debate.
Everyone knows the rock star, the King of Kings when
it comes to this, the most dominant athlete in my life,
Joey Chestnut. No ifs ands or butts about it. Joey Chestnut.
(06:41):
He is head and shoulders above every one else that
has done this, and seeing him, at least for now
sent to the Who's goal is bittersweet. It's bittersweet because
I don't agree with Chestnut the product he's endorsed.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Who wants to eat vegan anything?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I mean, what kind of losers doing that unless you've
got some kind of dietary problem where you can't consume me.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
But if you can't, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I mean, that's just that's my my take. And I
have vegans in my family. I look at them weird,
I do, But this one, he's like being sent to Birmingham, right, said,
I saw all That's this a Birmingham moment. It's a
Birmingham moment. My I don't know Michael Jordan and I'm
I'm in the camp my opinion. Can't sue me for
(07:29):
my opinion that the commissioner of the NBA, David Stern
shadow band Michael Jordan, sent him to the Birmingham Barons
in double A for the Chicago White Sox because he
was associating with gamblers and was gambling large amounts of
money while playing for the Chicago Bulls and so the
(07:50):
NBA is like, hey, David Stern's old school and you
know he's dead now. But he sent to Jordan to suspension.
They made a deal not to ruin the legacy of
Jordan and they sent him to to Birmingham. But Joey
Chestnutt being put on time out for a crime that
I get to I am a gambler. I think associating
(08:11):
with vegans is akin to associating with gambles, if not worse.
And after a comprehensive review of the facts that we
have available, Joey chest Nutt went for the bag. What's
in the back A lot of money, a lot of
dead presidents.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
He went for the money.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
He made a high stakes financial gamble and right now
it's not working out. He thought that the amount of
money was so large and he was such a dominating force.
There's no way you can have this contest without Joey
chestnut and it couldn't mess with him. Well, that's the
(08:49):
famous thing on the internet. F around and find out
heft around plays stupid games, and you know when stupid
plies is. But now, furthermore, do you understand the of
the Nathan's hot Dog marketing department having an issue here.
Do you understand the rationale? So I understand it. We're
(09:09):
in the advertising business. Radio is all about advertising. Otherwise
we're doing commercial free radio and have you ever ever
heard public radio? My god does it suck. So we
actually have advertisers here, God love them. So we do advertising.
And I get it on that from that perspective, but
somebody should have been a grown up in the room
and said, let's do a deep dive on what is
(09:32):
going to happen if we end up going public with this,
like what is going to happen here? And on the surface,
it makes sense because the people are upset. They're like,
I understand you spent a lot of money to sponsor
this hot dog eating contest. You're the title sponsor, and
why spend the amount of money the want of cash
(09:52):
on this event if Joey Chestnut is going to be
flying around in a stealth bomber advertising competitor and while
you're the one paying the bill, Like, I don't get that.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I understand why you miss it.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But that said, when you walk all the way through
this and there's a possibility this is all conspiracy, it's
all being done for idiots like me to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, I took the bait.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But assuming that's not the case, Murphy's law right, Murphy's law,
this ends up backfiring for the Nathan's people because the
Vegan Wiener brand, the Vegan Wieners are getting millions and
millions of impressions and getting online clout and free advertise,
(10:36):
free marketing, and they're non meat dogs.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So a non meat dog.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
How is that a competitor to a wonderfully delicious meat dog.
It's not right and it's always odd to me, and
no one's been able to explain this to me.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And I don't get.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I'd like to know if you're a vegan, whatever floats you,
but it's not for me. But I don't get why.
I have people that I ear my circle like are
hardline vegetarians and vegans, and I think it's disgusting to
eat animals and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I think those people are very odd. But if you
tell me, on one hand that eating.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
A hot dog or a steak or a nice juicy
cheeseburger is disgusting and that I'm a Neanderthal and a
caveman because I eat meat, But then on the other hand,
you want stuff that tastes just like meat, Like, what
is the point of that? So aren't you like a
fake Neanderthal? Aren't you a fake caveman ogre? Why were
(11:39):
you the reason? Meats delicious and you want the taste
of meat, but you have you know, you feel bad
because the animals die. But you gotta look at where
you're on the food chain now because you could end
up being eaten by something else.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Now, last thing.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Here is Joey Chestnut going to torment the Nathan's Hot
Dog contest. Now we are in the camp that believe
there is a path to salvation. There is a pardon
that could come down here. But if that does not happen,
(12:13):
if these are hardliners at Nathan's, hardline wiener people. If
that's the case, if the big big Sausage all right,
if big Sausage does not let down here and this
is the way it goes, Joey Chestnut will become a
hob goblin. He is going to spook, just like the
(12:33):
spook Major League eining. We're talking Wilt Chamberlain. The equivalent
of one hundred points in a game in Hershey, Pennsylvania
is seventy six dogs and buns in ten minutes seventy
six Dogs and Buns twenty twenty one. I saw it,
(12:54):
I witnessed it. I was watching, and that remains the
beatable record. That's the one hundred points in major leading
seventy six. He took the fork from Kobayashi and he
ate it. He devoured it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Is what he did.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Chestnut is a real life version. As a kid, there
was a cartoon character, and he's the real life version
of Porky Pig. And that's all, folks, a real life version, right,
Captain America. This guy is such a stud. Do you
remember a couple of years ago, some loser thug, some
vegan thug, tried to interrupt the hot dog eating cot
(13:33):
and what in Chestnut?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Do you remember what he did? He went, Captain America.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Is what Joey Chestnut did, some loser thug protester. He
took him in a chuck out in the coppet and
he's still won. He ate sixty three Dogs and buns
while taking a thug vegan protester down. That's Joey Chestnut. Now,
I know he's gone to the dark side with the
(13:58):
vegan thing, but you gotta let him. You gotta let
him in and then make sure if you're Nathan's you
have him eat all of those hot dogs and say, hey,
here's Joey Chestun. He just ate sixty five of our
hot dogs. You losers. Anyway, all right, here is the

Speaker 7 (15:54):
The Ben Maler Shows a collaborative effort. You're invited to
communicate with those of us on this side of the microphones.
You can follow your your host on X He's at
Ben Mallor and you can post at and follow our
executive producer. He is manning the phones, but he's more
than just a call screener. He is the liar, liar
and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network. Gets
(16:14):
the coop the loop Justin Cooper and he's at u H.
Bronco fan, a bucker Boy boy, a Bronco fan, and
alive from the tyrack dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
A lot of reaction as the Great One, the real
great One. Joey Chestnut has been banished for now from
the greatest spectacle in the American sport, the Nathan's Hotdog
Eating Contest. Firk Dog says, Nathan's hot Dogs made a
huge mistake. Joey Chestnut's arguably the most popular athlete in America.
(16:49):
You can't bad him without repercussions. I'm boycotting Nathan's hot
Dogs until they make this right.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So so, he says, who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
King Roy says, Joey Chestnut being banned from Nathan's hot
Dog Eating Contest is just as bad as Caitlin Clark
being left off Team US.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I think that's a basketball player.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I would not be surprised if Impossible Foods host their
own hot dog eating contest on July fourth and more
people watch than Nathan's. Well, the problem with that is
they'd have to get other vegan people to eat right,
and vegans aren't known for gluttony, so that would be
no contest. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says, the other contestants
(17:33):
when they heard the Chestnut News hot niggity dog, they
said late night drug tester says Chestnut not eating on
the fourth is disappointing, but the real hero of the
over night eaters is the guy who ate a leftover
hot dog from a weekend for twenty bucks.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yummy, he says.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
The Jalen Brunson fanboy account says, let me break it
down for you. Vegans don't like the process the animal
goes through for us to have meat, but they still
like the taste of meat. They just don't like how
we treat the animals and that's why they're trying to
make fake meat. Oh yeah, Well, anytime I see a
vegan eating a salad, eat like an extra burger, so
(18:14):
it discounts them not eating it.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So you know, screw you.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Matt the Warrior Raider fan a Raider and Tom Brady
Rose fan said, you've officially forgiven, officially forgiven for those
of roast monologues. That Joy Chestnut monologue was delicious, but
thank you. I appreciate no stra Dinis checks and he says, Hey, Ben,
my wife is a vegetarian that won't eat fake meat
(18:41):
foods that taste like meat, and I gotta say she's
a real pain in the ass, says those stretents.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, why she respected.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
If you're going to be a vegetarian or vegan, then
you shouldn't be eating the fake meat foods.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Then okay, I got it. I don't agree with your
lifestyle choices.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I think you're making You know, you're wasting your time
and you're gonna die anyway, and that's it. But shame
on you might as well enjoy the food before you
get out. Slim Tim says a plus on the malt monologue.
Agree with you on all points. Sad to hear the
goat will not be competing this year. Can't be mad
at him for taking the money. Nothing is better than
a Nathan's hoto, so he says. Fargo Pize says, we
(19:18):
can only hope Joey Chestnut doesn't end up down the
dirty path of Elicity secretly shoving real meat wieners down
his throat.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
That would be wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Art Puffin says, Chestnut cheats on his wiener with a
plant based wiener.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
What's the world coming to?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
By the way, Art Puffin says, a culinary guy like
he is, I've had a vegan hot dog and not
very appetizing, but tastes a lot better off a charcoal grill. Well, yeah,
because you're tasting the charcoal. It's like you put anything
in a deep frar and it's gonna taste pretty good.
My dad, the last couple of years of his life,
(19:55):
he read something on the internet that you're better off
eating the fake meat, and so he's like he tried
it and he thought, oh, I'm eating healthy, And then
we looked at all the chemicals that were in the fake.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Meat to make the fake meat. Is like, no about that.
It's actually it's not that good for you. Let's go
to the phones.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Weed man, hippie, we have found weed Man, hippie.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
He is not in jail. He's alive.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Weed Man, Hippie is a love weed Man. It's a
soap op. It's a soap opera. Who we've been so
the other day weed men stopped calling the show. I
tried calling.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Sorry, I wasn't there for.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Joe, I know.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I tried calling weed Man, and some Latin guy answered
the phone. I said, oh my god, what happened to
weed Man? That doesn't sound anything.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Like weed Man?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
What what happened weed man?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Phone?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
But who steals phones? You can even track them rather easily,
have a tracker on them.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
What an idiot?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Well, I didn't track it.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
I just I mean, doesn't even know how to figure
out his own phone number.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
If you, if you, if you, if you are going
to steal a phone, steal from weed Man because.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
He has no idea, has no idea how to get
his phone back.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
My god, probably wasn't even password protected, not even locked.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
What was the password? Weed was that the past? He
didn't have a password? Right?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
What Joey Chestnut? I mean, what's the difference? What kind
of hot what's the hot dogs made of? It's sill.
He's going to eat seventy of them?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I mean, what's well, no, the spot, No, the weed man.
The sponsor is Nathan's. You're a New Yorker, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
They're the They're the title. They're the title. They're the
title sponsor.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
The vegan, the vegan hotalg. He has the own hot
talk eating contest.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, and I was told you're never supposed to talk
about how they make the hot dogs. So if you
don't know how what's in the hot just enjoy the taste.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Still, you're still Boston. I remember used to the radio there.
Speaker 2 (22:09):

but I'm anti Kyrie, so I am pulling for the
Celtics absolutely.

You know, I agree with you. I'm anti Lebroun now
since she doesn't win anything ever in LA.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
That's true, no championships with the Lakers. It's embarrassing. You

That was you are. That's pretty that's pretty dumb and

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yes, you figured, well, what I'll just stand in the
middle of a hurricane on a lifeguard stand on the
beach and that the hurricane will just blow by me
and nothing will happen.

Unbelievable.

We have more on that later. The forty nine er
fans are freaking out, Eddie. They're very concerned.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They believe they've now been eliminated from Super Bowl contention
because of the jinks, the Madden cover jinks. And we'll
talk more about that coming up. And let's have some fun.
What do you say you a little fun?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Fun? Fun fact?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
All right, fun fact.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Game three of the NBA Finals is tonight, deep in
the heart of Texas. And if you think the Mavericks
are gonna win easily, be careful. Many people think Dallas
is gonna bounce back at home. But Jason Tatum, who
has sucked at a time you cannot suck in these
NBA Finals shooting the ball anyway, he has been much
(26:08):
better overall in the playoffs when he is away from Boston.
In fact, you go side by side, you do the
Pepsi challenge, and Jason Tatum is averaging six more points
per game on the road. On the road than at home,
he's averaging almost two rebounds more per game, more assist
(26:28):
per game. His true shooting percentage is also higher across
the board. And the Boston basketball team is undefeated when
they are on the road. So factor that in, Factor
that in. As we get the game three the finals tonight,
let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to Mark
(26:50):
the full name guy who is in Medford, Oregon.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Hello, Mark the full name guy.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Hello Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's that's the worst. That was the worst.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I mean, that was that was terrible. Man, mean you
drop in something you might want to tune your harmonica.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah, I think I blew some saliva in one of
those reads there, Nick fired, Sorry about that, Chief. So
we know we're never wrong. What we know, you're never wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's right. I am never wrong. I am never wrong
at all. I'm not always I'm not always right. I'm
not always right. I'm not always right, but I'm never
wrong wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That is wrong. That's your best joke ever been about.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Anyway, says a guy who just tried to play the
harmonica on six hundred radio stations and blew a like
a big chunk of mucus in your harmonica before you.
No stop, people are gonna turn off the show you moron.
(28:15):
He's got nothing to say. Ay, Mark's got no content,
so he's just using the harmon.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
Most of our callers don't have much to say.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
It's a fair point. That is a fair point. Okay,
all right, thank you, go away. Hanging up on you
annoying me.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
He's so talented.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Don't encourage him, Marina, Okay, do not do not know.
So how about this for a headfake? Remember that Roy
McElroy divorce story from a couple of days ago. Yes,
he is shockingly called off the divorce. He is mild
dismissal papers days before the big event in the golf
(28:55):
circle the.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
US opened, which is coming up here. So the question
is why do you have.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
To file papers to say you're not going to divorce?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Well, yeah, because he already filed the papers to get
He hired a celebrity divorce attorney and they started the process.
Now Tyreek Hill did this also, Tyreek filed for divorce
and then said psych just kidding. And now Roy mackroy,
So why did he do it? Did a they make
up and everything's good here's and things all bad deeds forgiven?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Or was the amount of money that he was going to.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Have to pay so large, he said, I can't, I
can't give up that amount of money. I don't know
what happened, but we do know that he has decided
to file dismissal that the divorce is off. What happened
to those reports that he was canoodling with some golf
sideline reporter? I saw that in the tabloids, you say,
(29:53):
I don't know they are the ones that said it.
I just read it, and it seemed like a juicy
story to me. So I don't know that either that
ended or that was just made up by the tabloids.
Speaking of a tablet, did you see the Kim Kardashian story?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Is that real?
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Am?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I the only one that saw that? So this?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I read this story in the tabloids that Kim Kardashian
took a private jet to Perie just to eat a
slice of cheesecake.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That can't be true, right? Why not? I mean, it
seems like a lot of hassle. I know it's a
private plane, but.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
I would take a flight to Vegas for a martini.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
There's plenty of places here to get a good martini.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
I'm sure there's a bunch of places near her to
get a good piece of cheesecake exactly.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
When you're that rich and you can do whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You want exactly. Oh, she's the one that said she
did that. Interesting, Yeah, she just I just read it
the other day.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Well I saw that headline, but I thought it was,
you know, maybe just kind of like you know, being
reported like rumor. But she she's the one that claims
that she did that.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, she said she took a plane to Paris. Yeah,
I believe it. But aren't these celebrities telling us that
we have to protect the environment and we can't fossil
fuels and all that they're.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Full of crap?
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Well you know what, I bet the cheesecake was made
from a cow who is grass fed, so it makes
the emissions.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
My favorite though of the there's a lot of scammers
and the whole uh you save the world cartel as
I like to call it. My favorite is remember that
Al Gore made that movie that all of the coasts
is going to flood, and then inconvenient truth, yes, and
then a bunch of celebrities like, we're buying houses right
on the coast. So if they believed everything was going
(31:41):
to flood, why would they buy beachfront real estate if
they thought that.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Was actually true. But anyway, all right, whatever we.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Have mallor to the third degree that is percolating. It
is warming up. Time now for the into trivia and
a blatant attempt to suck up to Edmund Dallas Steam.
But Willie Garcia will go to hockey. The Florida Panthers
who are about to gag. They are about to lose
the next two games in the Stanley Cup Final to
my Edmonton Ortheris. But the Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovski has
(32:10):
allowed only one goal so far through two games of
the Stanley Cup Final.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
That's about to change.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Only Martin Brodure, Chris Osgood and Blank have allowed no
goals the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final. Again,
Sergei Bobrovski, He's one of a handful of goalies that
have only allowed one goal through the first two games
of the Stanley Cup Final. But only Martin Brodure of
the Devils and Chris Osgood of the Red Wings and
(32:37):
Blank have allowed zero goals the first two games of
a Stanley Cup Final. That is the inch to trivia.
The answer we'll get to it. We'll do it next.

Eddie, do you have an answer? Edie Quick?
Speaker 7 (35:49):
Greg Quick?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Dominator dominic hashik dominic Hashick. No, that is incorrect, Eddie,
bad job by.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
I thought you knew hockey, Eddie, I thought you knew hockey.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
No.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
The correct answer the Great eight Frank McCool of the
Toronto Maple Leafs.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I love that name, Eddie.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
What year was that Ben?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
In the nineteen forties?
Speaker 7 (36:08):
E wow?
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
This guy was medically discharged from the Army for stomach
ulcers in nineteen forty four, and that year he won
the Stanley Cup and the Calder Trophy with the Toronto
Maple Leafs, but he was forced to retire early because
of ulso props about that though. He left the army
because he got discharged, and then Boom won a Stanley
Cup and has a record that is still among the
(36:30):
greats to this day, all these years later, almost eighty
plus years later, or eighty years later.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
All right, here we go, here we go, here we go,
here we go, here we go. Her degree at this
that's right, truck and yall, it's happening. Kobelop.
Speaker 8 (36:46):
Through sixty seven games this season, Aaron Judge has better
numbers in almost every category than he did during his
twenty twenty two AL MVP season. Ben, would you put
money on Judge to win his second MVP award?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Well, he's clearly the favorite. He's the pace car in
the Ale MVP race.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
However, he is injury prone, and that is why I
would be reluctant to bet a lot of money on
Aaron Judge because he misses a lot of times. It's
hard to win the MVP when you know you run
into a wall at Dodger Stadium and your togo's sideways
and you can't play or whatever. Now he's got a
big lead, but it's not an insurmountable lead. The Baltimore
Orioles are pretty pretty good. This guy Gunner Henderson, he's
a real gunner in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
He's been great.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
And another dark horse candidate is Bobby Witt, who's been
a royal stud in Kansas City. Although you know he's
way behind, but it's not over. But Aaron Judge is ahead.
He's got Juan Soto who's also a candidate next.
Speaker 8 (37:36):
The Packers had a young, unproven group of receivers heading
into last season, but the group rose to the challenge
and green Bay found success. Despite that, none of the
young guys really stood out as a true number one receiver.
Jordan Love spoke on that Monday and said, I don't
think you have to have a number one receiver.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Ben Is he right?
Speaker 2 (37:52):
No, Listen, he's you do need someone who's out in front.
And Jordan loves being diplomatic and all this. The answer
is Green Bay has a number one receiver. It's elementary.
My dear Watson, Christian Watson, who maybe I'm biased. We
had him on the podcast the Green Bay Wide Receiver.
He's the man, and like Romeo Dobbs and Jaden Reid
(38:13):
and these other guys are they're Jags, they're they're compared
to Watson. So he's the number one guy, although he
was injured last year and they didn't exactly they didn't
sing from the same song sheet there between Love and Watson,
but he was great with Rogers of the Year Before next.
Speaker 8 (38:30):
Drod Mayo spoke with the media about the reconfigured kickoff
formation this season, and he admitted that the best move
for teams would probably just to be kick the ball
out of the end zone and let their opponents start
to drive from the thirty ben. Do you think that
most teams are gonna take that approach?
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Well, here's what I think, Coop.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
This is a June NFL storyline where people are obsessing
about this. Yeah, I you know, they say every yard
matters and all that, and that's why every yard counts. However,
if you have a halfway decent defense, going from the
twenty five yard line to the thirty yard line should
not matter that much. The thing that drives me crazy
is the paralysis of analysis that we are spending wasting
(39:08):
time on these this particular story, I'm not that interested.
I hope we I want more kickoff returns. That's an
exciting play.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
How did we do that? Is a win, you're gonna
put it on.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I won Colexis, I won Felexus
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bird two, our two
ready to go.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It's all about big food, big wiener, if you will,
how do you process the shocking revelation that the goat
of goats, Joey Chestnut, has been banished from the July
fourth hot dog eating contest for taking money from a
rival sponsor. And do you understand the rationale of the
Nathan hot Dog Eating Contest? Is Joey Chestnut going to torment?
(00:33):
The staple of American pop culture on the fourth of
July will cover all of those bases. Get a life
update from our favorite vagrant in Miami, and who knows
what else here? It is our number two sent to
the fat farm. Get out of here. Well come. In
(00:53):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
we are in the air, were everywhere socializing.

(01:50):
it takes a lot to have baseball knocked out of
a monologue.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And this is a really dramatic story here.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It comes from in many ways the dinner table a
stunner from down under. Now, I assume you've heard by
now if you're listening, but maybe you missed it. We
talked about it briefly, but we learned early in the
day on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
We learned early in the day on Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That Major League Eating has outlawed Joey Jaws Chestnut. Let
me repeat that for those of you in the back round.
Joey Chestnut has been banned. Chestnut is banned from participating
in the twenty twenty four Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
because he partnered with a rival brand of wieners and
(02:42):
they're fake wieners. He's selling fake wieners. So Chestnut recently
signed a deal with something called Impossible Foods, and they
are apparently a rival. I don't know how you consider
them a rival because they're not anything like a Nathan's
hot Dog in my my and my opinion's opinion. So they,
(03:07):
I guess, launched a vegan sausage, a vegan wiener who
wants that now. As a result, the people at mL
have ruled that as long as the sixteen time champion
of the World, the hottest of the hot dogs, sixteen
(03:30):
time champion, Joycechestern, as long as he has a deal
with this rival brand, it's turnout the last the parties over,
he will be persona non grata. At the Midsummer Spectacle
July fourth, I wrap myself in the flag every year
on July fourth and I watch those wieners go.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Down, and I love it. Every year.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's my that's my routine every year. Do a monologue
about it every year. I don't know that I will
do that this year.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I might not so.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Chest Nutt said he learned that he was banned from
social media, which is really not that shocking. Don't most
people learn things from social media. I'll bet you that
Chestnut was made aware he could be banned. I'm guessing
there was a back and forth here. They say, you
know you might be banned, and you know, we're thinking
(04:22):
about banning. And then he found out on social says
he has been training intensely to defend his Yellow Mustard
Belt title, the belt that he gets for winning that award,
and he said he was gutted, much like when he
asked to go to the bathroom after he eats all
those hot dogs and buns. And Chestnut says he does
(04:44):
not have a formal contract with Major League Eating or
the Nathan's Hotdog people, and he claimed they're changing the rules.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's changing the rules now as it relates to partnerships
for Joey Jaws. That's his story and he's sticking to it.
So let us discuss the question here as we talk
about this, how do you process the single greatest competitor
in modern times in Western world? Joey Chestnut banished from
(05:16):
the July fourth hot Dog Contest in New York. So
I've got Birmingham, Stealth Bomber, and hob Goblin and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a very busy, very busy toilet which
(05:37):
Joey Chestnut spends a lot of time on when he's
done with these eating contests. But to lead off your
full disclosure, I am not fair in balanced when it
comes to Joey chestnutt I like the guy.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I've had him on my podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't usually do a lot of interviews anymore because
that requires booking guests, and we don't do that takes effort,
so we normally just you know, just be asked. But
the one every year I got to get Joey Chestnut,
and I have his numb so it's fortunately I can
get a hold of him when I need to get
a hold of him. So I like the guy. I'm
a long time you know, I don't like anybody. I'm
an admirer. I call him the god of gluttony, Joey Chestnut.
(06:10):
And there's a lot of debate in sports radio about you.
It's Lebron Better's, it Jordan's and.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I guess it depends how old you are. That kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
There is no argument, none in major league eating, zero debate.
Everyone knows the rock star, the King of Kings when
it comes to this, the most dominant athlete in my life,
Joey Chestnut. No ifs ands or butts about it. Joey Chestnut.
(06:41):
He is head and shoulders above every one else that
has done this, and seeing him, at least for now
sent to the Who's goal is bittersweet. It's bittersweet because
I don't agree with Chestnut the product he's endorsed.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Who wants to eat vegan anything?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I mean, what kind of losers doing that unless you've
got some kind of dietary problem where you can't consume me.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
But if you can't, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I mean, that's just that's my my take. And I
have vegans in my family. I look at them weird,
I do, But this one, he's like being sent to Birmingham, right, said,
I saw all That's this a Birmingham moment. It's a
Birmingham moment. My I don't know Michael Jordan and I'm
I'm in the camp my opinion. Can't sue me for
(07:29):
my opinion that the commissioner of the NBA, David Stern
shadow band Michael Jordan, sent him to the Birmingham Barons
in double A for the Chicago White Sox because he
was associating with gamblers and was gambling large amounts of
money while playing for the Chicago Bulls and so the
(07:50):
NBA is like, hey, David Stern's old school and you
know he's dead now. But he sent to Jordan to suspension.
They made a deal not to ruin the legacy of
Jordan and they sent him to to Birmingham. But Joey
Chestnutt being put on time out for a crime that
I get to I am a gambler. I think associating
(08:11):
with vegans is akin to associating with gambles, if not worse.
And after a comprehensive review of the facts that we
have available, Joey chest Nutt went for the bag. What's
in the back A lot of money, a lot of
dead presidents.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
He went for the money.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
He made a high stakes financial gamble and right now
it's not working out. He thought that the amount of
money was so large and he was such a dominating force.
There's no way you can have this contest without Joey
chestnut and it couldn't mess with him. Well, that's the
(08:49):
famous thing on the internet. F around and find out
heft around plays stupid games, and you know when stupid
plies is. But now, furthermore, do you understand the of
the Nathan's hot Dog marketing department having an issue here.
Do you understand the rationale? So I understand it. We're
(09:09):
in the advertising business. Radio is all about advertising. Otherwise
we're doing commercial free radio and have you ever ever
heard public radio? My god does it suck. So we
actually have advertisers here, God love them. So we do advertising.
And I get it on that from that perspective, but
somebody should have been a grown up in the room
and said, let's do a deep dive on what is
(09:32):
going to happen if we end up going public with this,
like what is going to happen here? And on the surface,
it makes sense because the people are upset. They're like,
I understand you spent a lot of money to sponsor
this hot dog eating contest. You're the title sponsor, and
why spend the amount of money the want of cash
(09:52):
on this event if Joey Chestnut is going to be
flying around in a stealth bomber advertising competitor and while
you're the one paying the bill, Like, I don't get that.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I understand why you miss it.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But that said, when you walk all the way through
this and there's a possibility this is all conspiracy, it's
all being done for idiots like me to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, I took the bait.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But assuming that's not the case, Murphy's law right, Murphy's law,
this ends up backfiring for the Nathan's people because the
Vegan Wiener brand, the Vegan Wieners are getting millions and
millions of impressions and getting online clout and free advertise,
(10:36):
free marketing, and they're non meat dogs.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So a non meat dog.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
How is that a competitor to a wonderfully delicious meat dog.
It's not right and it's always odd to me, and
no one's been able to explain this to me.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And I don't get.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I'd like to know if you're a vegan, whatever floats you,
but it's not for me. But I don't get why.
I have people that I ear my circle like are
hardline vegetarians and vegans, and I think it's disgusting to
eat animals and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I think those people are very odd. But if you
tell me, on one hand that eating.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
A hot dog or a steak or a nice juicy
cheeseburger is disgusting and that I'm a Neanderthal and a
caveman because I eat meat, But then on the other hand,
you want stuff that tastes just like meat, Like, what
is the point of that? So aren't you like a
fake Neanderthal? Aren't you a fake caveman ogre? Why were
(11:39):
you the reason? Meats delicious and you want the taste
of meat, but you have you know, you feel bad
because the animals die. But you gotta look at where
you're on the food chain now because you could end
up being eaten by something else.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Now, last thing.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Here is Joey Chestnut going to torment the Nathan's Hot
Dog contest. Now we are in the camp that believe
there is a path to salvation. There is a pardon
that could come down here. But if that does not happen,
(12:13):
if these are hardliners at Nathan's, hardline wiener people. If
that's the case, if the big big Sausage all right,
if big Sausage does not let down here and this
is the way it goes, Joey Chestnut will become a
hob goblin. He is going to spook, just like the
(12:33):
spook Major League eining. We're talking Wilt Chamberlain. The equivalent
of one hundred points in a game in Hershey, Pennsylvania
is seventy six dogs and buns in ten minutes seventy
six Dogs and Buns twenty twenty one. I saw it,
(12:54):
I witnessed it. I was watching, and that remains the
beatable record. That's the one hundred points in major leading
seventy six. He took the fork from Kobayashi and he
ate it. He devoured it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Is what he did.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Chestnut is a real life version. As a kid, there
was a cartoon character, and he's the real life version
of Porky Pig. And that's all, folks, a real life version, right,
Captain America. This guy is such a stud. Do you
remember a couple of years ago, some loser thug, some
vegan thug, tried to interrupt the hot dog eating cot
(13:33):
and what in Chestnut?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Do you remember what he did? He went, Captain America.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Is what Joey Chestnut did, some loser thug protester. He
took him in a chuck out in the coppet and
he's still won. He ate sixty three Dogs and buns
while taking a thug vegan protester down. That's Joey Chestnut. Now,
I know he's gone to the dark side with the
(13:58):
vegan thing, but you gotta let him. You gotta let
him in and then make sure if you're Nathan's you
have him eat all of those hot dogs and say, hey,
here's Joey Chestun. He just ate sixty five of our
hot dogs. You losers. Anyway, all right, here is the
Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to comment on any
(14:19):
of that, you're more than welcome to join us. Speakeasy

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, you blover listen Jam and me.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored by
the way, so maybe.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
We'll go at it even a little harder.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
It's gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
The Ben Maler Shows a collaborative effort. You're invited to
communicate with those of us on this side of the microphones.
You can follow your your host on X He's at
Ben Mallor and you can post at and follow our
executive producer. He is manning the phones, but he's more
than just a call screener. He is the liar, liar
and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network. Gets
(16:14):
the coop the loop Justin Cooper and he's at u H.
Bronco fan, a bucker Boy boy, a Bronco fan, and
alive from the tyrack dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
A lot of reaction as the Great One, the real
great One. Joey Chestnut has been banished for now from
the greatest spectacle in the American sport, the Nathan's Hotdog
Eating Contest. Firk Dog says, Nathan's hot Dogs made a
huge mistake. Joey Chestnut's arguably the most popular athlete in America.
(16:49):
You can't bad him without repercussions. I'm boycotting Nathan's hot
Dogs until they make this right.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So so, he says, who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
King Roy says, Joey Chestnut being banned from Nathan's hot
Dog Eating Contest is just as bad as Caitlin Clark
being left off Team US.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I think that's a basketball player.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I would not be surprised if Impossible Foods host their
own hot dog eating contest on July fourth and more
people watch than Nathan's. Well, the problem with that is
they'd have to get other vegan people to eat right,
and vegans aren't known for gluttony, so that would be
no contest. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says, the other contestants
(17:33):
when they heard the Chestnut News hot niggity dog, they
said late night drug tester says Chestnut not eating on
the fourth is disappointing, but the real hero of the
over night eaters is the guy who ate a leftover
hot dog from a weekend for twenty bucks.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yummy, he says.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
The Jalen Brunson fanboy account says, let me break it
down for you. Vegans don't like the process the animal
goes through for us to have meat, but they still
like the taste of meat. They just don't like how
we treat the animals and that's why they're trying to
make fake meat. Oh yeah, Well, anytime I see a
vegan eating a salad, eat like an extra burger, so
(18:14):
it discounts them not eating it.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So you know, screw you.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Matt the Warrior Raider fan a Raider and Tom Brady
Rose fan said, you've officially forgiven, officially forgiven for those
of roast monologues. That Joy Chestnut monologue was delicious, but
thank you. I appreciate no stra Dinis checks and he says, Hey, Ben,
my wife is a vegetarian that won't eat fake meat
(18:41):
foods that taste like meat, and I gotta say she's
a real pain in the ass, says those stretents.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, why she respected.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
If you're going to be a vegetarian or vegan, then
you shouldn't be eating the fake meat foods.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Then okay, I got it. I don't agree with your
lifestyle choices.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I think you're making You know, you're wasting your time
and you're gonna die anyway, and that's it. But shame
on you might as well enjoy the food before you
get out. Slim Tim says a plus on the malt monologue.
Agree with you on all points. Sad to hear the
goat will not be competing this year. Can't be mad
at him for taking the money. Nothing is better than
a Nathan's hoto, so he says. Fargo Pize says, we
(19:18):
can only hope Joey Chestnut doesn't end up down the
dirty path of Elicity secretly shoving real meat wieners down
his throat.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
That would be wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Art Puffin says, Chestnut cheats on his wiener with a
plant based wiener.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
What's the world coming to?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
By the way, Art Puffin says, a culinary guy like
he is, I've had a vegan hot dog and not
very appetizing, but tastes a lot better off a charcoal grill. Well, yeah,
because you're tasting the charcoal. It's like you put anything
in a deep frar and it's gonna taste pretty good.
My dad, the last couple of years of his life,
(19:55):
he read something on the internet that you're better off
eating the fake meat, and so he's like he tried
it and he thought, oh, I'm eating healthy, And then
we looked at all the chemicals that were in the fake.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Meat to make the fake meat. Is like, no about that.
It's actually it's not that good for you. Let's go
to the phones.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Weed man, hippie, we have found weed Man, hippie.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
He is not in jail. He's alive.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Weed Man, Hippie is a love weed Man. It's a
soap op. It's a soap opera. Who we've been so
the other day weed men stopped calling the show. I
tried calling.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Sorry, I wasn't there for.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Joe, I know.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I tried calling weed Man, and some Latin guy answered
the phone. I said, oh my god, what happened to
weed Man? That doesn't sound anything.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Like weed Man?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
What what happened weed man?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Phone?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
But who steals phones? You can even track them rather easily,
have a tracker on them.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
What an idiot?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Well, I didn't track it.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
I just I mean, doesn't even know how to figure
out his own phone number.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
If you, if you, if you, if you are going
to steal a phone, steal from weed Man because.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
He has no idea, has no idea how to get
his phone back.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
My god, probably wasn't even password protected, not even locked.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
What was the password? Weed was that the past? He
didn't have a password? Right?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
What Joey Chestnut? I mean, what's the difference? What kind
of hot what's the hot dogs made of? It's sill.
He's going to eat seventy of them?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I mean, what's well, no, the spot, No, the weed man.
The sponsor is Nathan's. You're a New Yorker, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
They're the They're the title. They're the title. They're the
title sponsor.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
The vegan, the vegan hotalg. He has the own hot
talk eating contest.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, and I was told you're never supposed to talk
about how they make the hot dogs. So if you
don't know how what's in the hot just enjoy the taste.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Still, you're still Boston. I remember used to the radio there.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I do Alin Well, I I'm yeah, anything against Kyrie,
although the Celtics have some douchebags on their team too,
but I'm anti Kyrie, so I am pulling for the
Celtics absolutely.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
You know, I agree with you. I'm anti Lebroun now
since she doesn't win anything ever in LA.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
That's true, no championships with the Lakers. It's embarrassing. You
were right, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Can you say that a little louder for somebody in
the back of the room there, I can say that
a little louder.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
You won't right then, now, jes.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Hell Alijah heh alujah man.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, are you back on Lincoln Road, weed Man?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah, okay, I'm not by them, not by the garbs.
I have a nice group me a nice open spot
right here.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah. It's a big, big rain, right, you have a
big rain in Miami.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
The rain like a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
He was like, you needed you needed Noah's Ark, weed Man,
you needed to jump on Noah's Ark.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Care everything's wet. I'm soaking wet right now. I was,
you know, I was in rain my O for four.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Do you remember weed Man, when there was a hurricane
that came through Miami and you reported from the beach
on the show. He went out to the beach during
a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
You were you were calling us and giving us updates
throughout the night from the beach as the hurricane made land.
That was you are. That's pretty that's pretty dumb and
uh and how stupid? How how stupid am I? By

On my lifeguard stand on one.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yes, you figured, well, what I'll just stand in the
middle of a hurricane on a lifeguard stand on the
beach and that the hurricane will just blow by me
and nothing will happen.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (24:20):

I still don't have any money from them.
Speaker 1 (24:28):

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Sif.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
I don't know if this is really a thing anymore.
I don't even remember who was on it last year.
But in the NFL forty nine met Christian McCaffrey has
been named the cover athlete for the Madden NFL twenty
five Games. So I mean, he gets injured enough on
his own without the Madden jinks. But I don't even
remember who was on it last year, if they got
(25:20):
anything happened to them or not. But Christian McCaffrey gonna
be on the cover of.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
We have more on that later. The forty nine er
fans are freaking out, Eddie. They're very concerned.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They believe they've now been eliminated from Super Bowl contention
because of the jinks, the Madden cover jinks. And we'll
talk more about that coming up. And let's have some fun.
What do you say you a little fun?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Fun? Fun fact?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
All right, fun fact.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Game three of the NBA Finals is tonight, deep in
the heart of Texas. And if you think the Mavericks
are gonna win easily, be careful. Many people think Dallas
is gonna bounce back at home. But Jason Tatum, who
has sucked at a time you cannot suck in these
NBA Finals shooting the ball anyway, he has been much
(26:08):
better overall in the playoffs when he is away from Boston.
In fact, you go side by side, you do the
Pepsi challenge, and Jason Tatum is averaging six more points
per game on the road. On the road than at home,
he's averaging almost two rebounds more per game, more assist
(26:28):
per game. His true shooting percentage is also higher across
the board. And the Boston basketball team is undefeated when
they are on the road. So factor that in, Factor
that in. As we get the game three the finals tonight,
let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to Mark
(26:50):
the full name guy who is in Medford, Oregon.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Hello, Mark the full name guy.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Hello Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's that's the worst. That was the worst.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I mean, that was that was terrible. Man, mean you
drop in something you might want to tune your harmonica.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah, I think I blew some saliva in one of
those reads there, Nick fired, Sorry about that, Chief. So
we know we're never wrong. What we know, you're never wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's right. I am never wrong. I am never wrong
at all. I'm not always I'm not always right. I'm
not always right. I'm not always right, but I'm never
wrong wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That is wrong. That's your best joke ever been about.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Anyway, says a guy who just tried to play the
harmonica on six hundred radio stations and blew a like
a big chunk of mucus in your harmonica before you.
No stop, people are gonna turn off the show you moron.
(28:15):
He's got nothing to say. Ay, Mark's got no content,
so he's just using the harmon.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
Most of our callers don't have much to say.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
It's a fair point. That is a fair point. Okay,
all right, thank you, go away. Hanging up on you
annoying me.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
He's so talented.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Don't encourage him, Marina, Okay, do not do not know.
So how about this for a headfake? Remember that Roy
McElroy divorce story from a couple of days ago. Yes,
he is shockingly called off the divorce. He is mild
dismissal papers days before the big event in the golf
(28:55):
circle the.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
US opened, which is coming up here. So the question
is why do you have.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
To file papers to say you're not going to divorce?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Well, yeah, because he already filed the papers to get
He hired a celebrity divorce attorney and they started the process.
Now Tyreek Hill did this also, Tyreek filed for divorce
and then said psych just kidding. And now Roy mackroy,
So why did he do it? Did a they make
up and everything's good here's and things all bad deeds forgiven?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Or was the amount of money that he was going to.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Have to pay so large, he said, I can't, I
can't give up that amount of money. I don't know
what happened, but we do know that he has decided
to file dismissal that the divorce is off. What happened
to those reports that he was canoodling with some golf
sideline reporter? I saw that in the tabloids, you say,
(29:53):
I don't know they are the ones that said it.
I just read it, and it seemed like a juicy
story to me. So I don't know that either that
ended or that was just made up by the tabloids.
Speaking of a tablet, did you see the Kim Kardashian story?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Is that real?
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Am?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I the only one that saw that? So this?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I read this story in the tabloids that Kim Kardashian
took a private jet to Perie just to eat a
slice of cheesecake.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That can't be true, right? Why not? I mean, it
seems like a lot of hassle. I know it's a
private plane, but.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
I would take a flight to Vegas for a martini.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
There's plenty of places here to get a good martini.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
I'm sure there's a bunch of places near her to
get a good piece of cheesecake exactly.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
When you're that rich and you can do whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You want exactly. Oh, she's the one that said she
did that. Interesting, Yeah, she just I just read it
the other day.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Well I saw that headline, but I thought it was,
you know, maybe just kind of like you know, being
reported like rumor. But she she's the one that claims
that she did that.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, she said she took a plane to Paris. Yeah,
I believe it. But aren't these celebrities telling us that
we have to protect the environment and we can't fossil
fuels and all that they're.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Full of crap?
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Well you know what, I bet the cheesecake was made
from a cow who is grass fed, so it makes
the emissions.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
My favorite though of the there's a lot of scammers
and the whole uh you save the world cartel as
I like to call it. My favorite is remember that
Al Gore made that movie that all of the coasts
is going to flood, and then inconvenient truth, yes, and
then a bunch of celebrities like, we're buying houses right
on the coast. So if they believed everything was going
(31:41):
to flood, why would they buy beachfront real estate if
they thought that.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Was actually true. But anyway, all right, whatever we.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Have mallor to the third degree that is percolating. It
is warming up. Time now for the into trivia and
a blatant attempt to suck up to Edmund Dallas Steam.
But Willie Garcia will go to hockey. The Florida Panthers
who are about to gag. They are about to lose
the next two games in the Stanley Cup Final to
my Edmonton Ortheris. But the Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovski has
(32:10):
allowed only one goal so far through two games of
the Stanley Cup Final.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
That's about to change.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Only Martin Brodure, Chris Osgood and Blank have allowed no
goals the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final. Again,
Sergei Bobrovski, He's one of a handful of goalies that
have only allowed one goal through the first two games
of the Stanley Cup Final. But only Martin Brodure of
the Devils and Chris Osgood of the Red Wings and
(32:37):
Blank have allowed zero goals the first two games of
a Stanley Cup Final. That is the inch to trivia.
The answer we'll get to it. We'll do it next.

Through sixty seven games this season, Aaron Judge has better
numbers in almost every category than he did during his
twenty twenty two AL MVP season. Ben, would you put
money on Judge to win his second MVP award?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Well, he's clearly the favorite. He's the pace car in
the Ale MVP race.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
However, he is injury prone, and that is why I
would be reluctant to bet a lot of money on
Aaron Judge because he misses a lot of times. It's
hard to win the MVP when you know you run
into a wall at Dodger Stadium and your togo's sideways
and you can't play or whatever. Now he's got a
big lead, but it's not an insurmountable lead. The Baltimore
Orioles are pretty pretty good. This guy Gunner Henderson, he's
a real gunner in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
He's been great.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
And another dark horse candidate is Bobby Witt, who's been
a royal stud in Kansas City. Although you know he's
way behind, but it's not over. But Aaron Judge is ahead.
He's got Juan Soto who's also a candidate next.
Speaker 8 (37:36):
The Packers had a young, unproven group of receivers heading
into last season, but the group rose to the challenge
and green Bay found success. Despite that, none of the
young guys really stood out as a true number one receiver.
Jordan Love spoke on that Monday and said, I don't
think you have to have a number one receiver.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Ben Is he right?
Speaker 2 (37:52):
No, Listen, he's you do need someone who's out in front.
And Jordan loves being diplomatic and all this. The answer
is Green Bay has a number one receiver. It's elementary.
My dear Watson, Christian Watson, who maybe I'm biased. We
had him on the podcast the Green Bay Wide Receiver.
He's the man, and like Romeo Dobbs and Jaden Reid
(38:13):
and these other guys are they're Jags, they're they're compared
to Watson. So he's the number one guy, although he
was injured last year and they didn't exactly they didn't
sing from the same song sheet there between Love and Watson,
but he was great with Rogers of the Year Before next.
Speaker 8 (38:30):
Drod Mayo spoke with the media about the reconfigured kickoff
formation this season, and he admitted that the best move
for teams would probably just to be kick the ball
out of the end zone and let their opponents start
to drive from the thirty ben. Do you think that
most teams are gonna take that approach?
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Well, here's what I think, Coop.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
This is a June NFL storyline where people are obsessing
about this. Yeah, I you know, they say every yard
matters and all that, and that's why every yard counts. However,
if you have a halfway decent defense, going from the
twenty five yard line to the thirty yard line should
not matter that much. The thing that drives me crazy
is the paralysis of analysis that we are spending wasting
(39:08):
time on these this particular story, I'm not that interested.
I hope we I want more kickoff returns. That's an
exciting play.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
How did we do that? Is a win, you're gonna
put it on.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I won Colexis, I won Felexus
