Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our Nameber four and we jump
on the train and head to mister Rogers neighborhood. Mister Rogers,
that'd be Aaron Rodgers. For our purposes, Aaron Rodgers has
an unexcused absence from Jets mandatory workouts this week. Do
you find this significant? Also, what is the word for
(00:24):
how things are looking for Jordan Love in Green Bay
as he's looking for a new contract. And any advice
to forty Niner fans who are freaking out following Christian
McCaffrey being named the Madden twenty five cover athlete. We'll
go there as well. Enjoy your Wednesday, have a great
(00:44):
twelfth of June. And here it is our number four
missing from flight school. Well gum, I'm in the beginning
of another hour of the Benmalor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We are in the air everywhere, playing around as we
are just asking for trouble coast to coast, border to
borter in beyond on the.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Vast and strappingly powerful microphones of fsr MM neating live
from the wind as we spit in the wind. We're
broadcasting live from the Tiraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
(01:39):
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. We're trying to set con Justin and Cincinnati
or King Rory count to ten thousand. Tiraq dot com
the way tire buying should be in our headline this hour,
we'll start with football. We'll go to the Swampland of
(02:01):
New Jersey. Why why not? It's offseason workout time, perfect
in the month of June for content and we're in
the content business. So you will not find Aaron Ragers.
You will not find Aaron Rodgers on the practice field.
This week, the Jets quarterback decided to step away from
(02:22):
his responsibilities as quarterback for the New York AFC football team.
If you have not heard by now, maybe you missed it. Okay,
we learned that the Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not
taking part in the mandatory not optional, mandatory mini camp.
The star quarterback informing Robert Sala that he's the one
(02:45):
that wears the pants in the relationship and he's not
going to be there. He let the team know ahead
of time. Robert Sala said that Rogers had quote an
event that was important to him according to Seal, an
event that was clearly more important than his job as
quarterback of the Jets. Now, Rogers was at the Jets
(03:10):
facility the other day on Monday, took a physical and
he took part in some photograph media obligations for the team.
But that was it. And this is not an authorized
leave by Aaron Rodgers. He's going rogue Rogers, Rogue, rogue Rogers.
So let us discuss the question. Aaron Rodgers with an
(03:32):
unexcused absence from the Jets mandatory workouts? Do you find
this significant? So I've got Western Life, one Armed Bandit,
and cartoonish, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to charge your laptop. I
(03:55):
had to charge my computer here was was dying, so
I had to plug it in. Happy to report the
power is working. The power is working here. The roaches
have not eaten the power supply, so that's good. But
to answer the question, do you find it significant that
Aaron Rodgers has an unexcused absence from Jets camp? I
find it poetic, is what I find it. Right now,
(04:16):
we don't know what the reasoning is. I imagine that
sometime today, whether it's schefter or TMZ or you know Rogers.
If he's somewhere and it's in the public sphere at
some you know, Yahoo convention somewhere in Yeha, then Rogers
will it's going to be photographed, it'll be videoed. Will
(04:38):
know probably by the time I wake up where Rogers is.
But it is poetic. And the reason it's poetic is
because Rogers is not letting his day job interfere with
his personal engagement right and giving New York the all
inclusive full Rogers, not the full Monty, the full Rogers here.
(04:59):
It is bizarre. His laying in the NFL. It's kind
of like being an elementary school teacher, a little more physical.
You don't get the summer vacation that teachers get when
they're off in the hot months. Your vacation, if you're
on a team that didn't make the playoffs, like the Jets,
your vacation starts in January and goes until mid July.
(05:20):
You're on vacation. Now that is roughly five months without
having day to day situations with the team. But you
do have occasional staff meetings, and you do have to
show up to workouts from time to time, and All
that is expected is you stay in top physical condition,
that you are in shape. That's it. Just show up
(05:42):
to a few offseason workouts, be in shape and everything's good,
and get a lot of vacation time in the NFL.
And Aaron Rodgers, who's lived this life for a very
long time, he knows about it. And to that he says, phowie,
phowie to that life. He's not living by the code though.
The Western life is, I like to say the code
(06:03):
of the West, that Western life where you do what
has to be done. Like when you have a mandatory
appearance for work, you show up and you take pride
in your work. You don't know where it was, but
we might have a good excuse. I'll tell you what
right now, I will garon effingt to you. If this
was a good excuse, the Jets would not have said
it's an unexcused excuse. If if there's a sick relative.
(06:23):
We know Rogers hates his family, but if there was
like somebody that was sick that Rogers had to go
see or something like that, they'd be like, Okay, that's excuse.
They're not saying that. And you know the team covers
for the star quarterback. That's not going on here. So
Rogers again is he's wearing the blue jeans. He's wearing
the pants all right. Now. Secondly, we go now to
(06:44):
the Badger's State, America's dairy Land, where we are hearing
the Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Do you feel the love?
Jordan Love is said to be optimistic, optimistic on getting
a contract extension done by training camp, which again starts
at about a month. So what is the word? What is
(07:07):
the word on how things are looking for Jordan Love
in Green Bay? So I've got the GPS. We'll start
with it, because Rod, if you look at the situation
Rogers left Jordan Love played, there was a few shaky
moments and then he came on like a super nova.
As the season progressed there in Green Bay, there were
(07:28):
still rough spots that people want to talk about because
they wanted to talk about the positive and a. But
the GPS for Jordan Love is set destination yellow brick Road.
He's on the yellow brick road. Jordan Love is sitting
and I guess the word I will use is one
arm bandit. He's sitting by the one arm bandit and
he knows that he's going to pull the arm on
(07:50):
the one arm bandit and he's going to get three
cherries in a row. And that is a jackpot. That
is a bonanza, and he's going to get that from
the Green Bay Packers floor. I was texting some of
my people that are more familiar with how this stuff
works in the NFL world. And the floor for Jordan Love,
the get in price for Jordan Love at the very minimum,
(08:12):
the Packers low ball Jordan Love forty million dollars a year.
See why, Yes, he's making like eleven which seems pretty
good after taxes. It's probably you know, well he's in Wisconsin,
so it's not too bad, but it's still a lot
of money. But the floor is about forty. It's it's
the trickle down economics, which does work in the NFL.
(08:33):
Because Jared Goff, who's a mid level quarterback in the NFL,
Jared Goff is getting fifty three million shekels from the
Detroit football team. So if golf is at fifty three million,
then Jordan Love and the Love Shack will be hitting
that neighborhood, that tax bracket. They'll be in that world.
(08:55):
The business is business is good. People are buying the product,
selling a lot of the product. They've got a lot
of people mesmerized and hypnotized by the NFL. All right,
final thought, We head now to video game land. That's
why grown adults talking video games. It is a yearly
rite of passage. So we go to the well one
(09:18):
more time. Forty nine Ers running back Christian McCaffery has
been named the cover boy of the Madden twenty five game,
the game that everyone bashes online, how terrible the game is,
but yet people still buy it. So While McCaffrey, the
Star in the Bay Area, described his honor as a
(09:39):
lifelong dream from a little boy wanting to be on
the Madden cover and now that dream has been fulfilled
as he will be the cover boy for the Madden game,
the reaction, though among some some wackadoodles in the forty
nine er fan base, has been more melancholy one of
the negative side. Any advice, Do you have any advice
(10:02):
to the forty niner fans that are biting their fingernails
now and fidgeting following Christian McCaffrey being named the Madden
twenty five cover athlete. So, with all the due respect
to the honorable panel, I will go first. I will
go first here, so I would advise the forty nine
er fan base that is annoyed, those members of the
(10:27):
electorate to go buy an umbrella, because this is becoming
cartoonish the way this works, right, those that believe there
is a Madden cover jinx, those that buy into it
are doomed because it's Hannah Barbera's character Schleppbrock. Cartoonish. I
(10:49):
don't if you remember that character. It's old, but the
character would always have a cloud. And you can say
the forecast for Christian McCaffrey based on the Madden cover
is partly cloudy, partley cloudy, with a chance of a
visit to the injury tent for mister McCaffrey. And here's
my position. I have a nuanced view. I think it's
(11:14):
a nuanced view on the Madden chanks. It's the same
thing that used to happen. There used to be this
back when people actually read physical copy. There used to
be this thing called Sports Illustrated. It went bankrupt recently,
but it used to be a thing, and they had
women in bikinis in there one episode, you know, one issue,
and people should read this thing, and they had this
SI cover Jinks used to be a thing. But much
(11:37):
like the SI cover Jinks, the Madden curse, it's a prophecy.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy because players are picked to
be on the Madden Game typically after a domination situation.
Christian McCaffrey was one of the most impactful players in
the NFL. Last season. He was dominant. The forty nine
(11:58):
Ers got to the Super Bowl, had a lead and
lost it against Kansas City. But you get after a
dominant season, you get typically a regression to the meat.
So just that alone, the numbers go down. You factor
in Christian McCaffrey and you know that little chart where
did you get hurt? And there's like a circle on
(12:19):
his calf, his rib, got injured, his ankle, he's got
a hammy problem. All of that. The last three years
he's missed time with a calf injury, rib injury, ankle,
and hammy. So he's been stamped fragile. So he's an
injury prompt player. The forty nine ers are they going
to get back to the Super Bowl? Probably not. They're
(12:40):
not that much better than the other teams in the NFC,
right This is not Kansas City. That's light years ahead
of everyone else, and it's not that right. The margins
are much thinner in the NFC, and at some point,
at some point, things will We'll slide back a bit
or two for the forty eight. It's rare that you
(13:00):
get back to back Super Bowl appearances if you don't
have Patrick Mahomes as your quarterback or Tom Brady. It's
not usually how that works. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you'd like to comment on any of that, you
are more than welcome to chime in. Speak easy rules
are in effect. All the lines are full anyway, so
don't worry about that. Dollars to donuts, dollars to donuts,
(13:22):
We'll get to that and just rest baby, what's that about.
We'll go there as well, and we'll take your comments
on excess. I said at Ben Maller. We'll do it all,

Speaker 3 (15:50):
And I really remember that I was a golden ticket yesterday.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, but you did. But hold is that now, Dave?
That was a bogus golden ticket number one, number two, Yes.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
It was, Dave.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And you didn't tell Coop a Loop that you wanted
to use a golden ticket. Therefore he you didn't have one. Well,
you gotta say that, you dummy. You've gotta say that, Dave. Otherwise,
how am I supposed to know? I'm done with you?
I'm done, all right? You know I'm not gonna give
(16:28):
you the oath, Dave. You never get the youth, Dave.
The oath is over, no oath for you, Dave, You're

don't even know ticket.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Did you tell your golden ticket?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
No, that part is true. He did not.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
He did not say you want the whole thing's true.
It is a valid golden ticket because you.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Because Dave has me deep down knows he never won
a golden ticket. And that's why he didn't say. You
do not tell me you want to say golden ticket,
because days a fraud. You're a fraud. Dave.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
You're you're a hypocrite, You're a.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You're you're complaining. This is the stupidest complaint. I've taken
a lot of a lot of complaints. You're the king
of This is so redicious, the dumbest complaint. You're complaining
that you didn't get the golden ticket. You didn't even
say the golden How how am I supposed to know? Okay,
(17:42):
are you done? All right? You're not in the militia.
We'll make sure he's out. I need someone to replace Dave.
I need someone to call up right now and take
the oath just because of that douchebag. Call up right now,
whoever wants to take the oath, I'll do the right now.
On the air, let's say a load of Texas Jack, Hello,
(18:05):
Texas Jack.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
How you doing?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm great.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
How you got just a little thought? Maybe those edible
undies are causing your hammer toe?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, maybe maybe that's it. That could be. That could
be the thing, or my my shoes either one.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
You know, why are you a trader?
Speaker 6 (18:28):
How come you don't lack America?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's a good question. You're talking about trader. That's ridiculous.
It's a ridiculous statement.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Canada.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Well, I'm picking the team that's gonna win, the Edmonton Oilers.
I don't know how that's anti American Canada. I would
say real hart.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Was the last time you picked the team that won?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Well, every the Rams, the Clippers got to the Final
four a few years ago. Dodgers won the hardest World
Series of all time in twenty twenty. I won a bunch.
I had Kansas City in the Super Bowl this past year?
Did that what on TV? That was a bold production?
That don't limb and pick the keys? Well? Do I
(19:08):
want to get credit from idiots that listen to a
radio show. So, oh, you picked a team but didn't
doesn't end up winning? This is it? They won. I
picked a team that won. By the way, you're Kyrie, Kyrie.
I know the NBA media doesn't like to talk about
this because they're in the tank with the league. But
there is a video floating around of Kyrie get a
(19:30):
little political, a little political that has not blown up yet.
We'll see if I send it to Eddie. I'll see
if that video blows up up.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
He has an awesome game.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
After he has an awesome game, I don't know, have
an awesome game or not. The Celtics are going to win,
So it's gonna happen tonight. No, it's not. The Celtics
will win and that'll be that, and you'll go on
your merry way and you'll make some excuse And have
you recovered from that beatdown the blind Scott gave you?
Have you recovered from the beatdown that Scott gave you? Yeah,
(20:05):
I've recovered from that.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
That was real tragic.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Good because the Celtics are gonna give you another beatdown tonight.
So people, come on, I'm fine, I'm all right, I'm
perfectly fine. Yeah, I mean, let me point out how
the game tonight the mav Res Texas jack seem the
maver Recks are. They opened to one and half point favorite.
(20:29):
There was a one point line move after the opening line.
Porzingis will he play? Will he not play? Will he
be a decoy? Well, even if he plays, he'll be
a decoy. I agree.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
He'sn't playing Dallas anymore because he was always hurt.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, no, he is always here. But Mavericks are a
two and a half point favorite. Where's the money at
the wise guys? The professionals are loading up on the Mavericks,
loading up on the Mavericks. Over eighty percent of the
money is on Dallas, and even the public is loading
up on Dallas.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Should have asked you should have asked plus money, honey.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I couldn't. She kept cursing so.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Well as balls.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, something like that, well, something like that. Yeah, I'm
sure you didn't hear that, though, I mean, that would
be wrong if you.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, I heard it.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Oh you heard it.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Okay, it was loud and clear.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He was on hold. Okay, you're on hold though, right, yes, sir, okay, good.
See when you're on hold, when you're on hold, you
hear the whole unedited show and all that.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Okay, I got you, I got Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
We don't dump everything while you're on hold, so you
hear the That's one of the benefits that that schmuck
Dave in upstate New York he got to hear that too,
but he didn't appreciate it. He's ungrateful. That's because he's
a he's a He's an Eddie stand. That's why Dave's
an Eddie stand. That's why you don't get as many
perks when you're an eddie guy. You don't know him
(21:52):
in real life. He's been arrested a bunch of times.
He's got a criminal record. He's a loser. I gotta go,
Thank you, all right, go away. I'll say hello to
Kelly in Nashville. Doughnut Kelly. Yeah. I saved this story
for Kelly because she's a donut lady. She's an expert
dollars to donuts. Did you see Kelly? This video and
(22:15):
viral of dolphin receiver Tyreek Hill this week, who claimed,
at age thirty, he just ate a donut for the
first time in his life.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
Yeah. I feel like that's fake news to get pressed
like there's no way you didn't have a donut before thirty.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah. I tend to agree with you. I have no
To be fair, I have something where I've never had
a cup of coffee. I've never tasted coffee in my life,
so that's my thing.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
I'm also the very standout duncan manager. I don't drink
caffeine or sugar, so when people ask me what they
should drink here, I'm very off s face.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Oh well, no, you've got to have a boilerplate response
since you're in the business there, Kelly, Uh yeah, and
and the usually my my.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
That comes out and I'm like, oh, I like this
one of the best yea, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
My experience at restaurants. I always tell my wife this,
but she doesn't figure it out. Like when you ask
a waitress or you know whatever who's serving your food
what to order, they're going to say the most expensive
thing on the venue. So no, no, okay, well, yeah,
I mean, stuff's not too expensive. It dunk, it's not
too well I was.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Gonna say, I mean all of our stuff kind of
costs the same.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So it's a fair point.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
But when people ask me my opinion on the flavors,
I'm always like, yeah, butter pecan, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, well you got to go with you gotta have
a line like I said, you said, oh yeah, that
butterbcr that's a big sellar. People love that. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
And right now, right now, we're really pushing the donut
Coffee Bend, which is a donut flavored syrup with blueberry
shots in it. It's a blueberry doughnut, that's what we're
pushing right now.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
There must be a lot of sugar in that, huh,
A lot of a lot of sugar mixed I got
you all right. Well a very good Kelly, very good,
thank you our friend Kelly.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
Let me just say, though, Ben, it is my favorite.
It is my favorite thing if I ask a server like,
you know, what do you think between this item and
this item and they actually give me like their true
honest opinion, or they say something like, oh, you know,
I don't think that we do this very good, but
this is great automatic like huge hit from me.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Love that. Okay, So besmirch one item and upsell another item.
That's the key.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Look, it's not always the more expensive thing, you know,
because I you know, a lot of times I throw
out stuff that's around the same price. But I just
I want to know your true opinion. There's nothing I
hate more when they're like, well, it really depends what
you're in the mood for, don't I don't know what
I'm in the movie one to do better?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
See what I do is my opposite research. If I
go to a restaurant, I'll go and I'll look at
the menu, I'll like analyze pictures because you can do
that now all these restaurants are online. You can look
at pictures. Oh yes, of course, yeah. You can go
to Scout help PA see what that actually looks like
exactly kind of see how the portion size portion size
like in You know, certain people they're gonna post photos
(25:25):
of stuff they like more than stuff they don't like.
That's other people's opinion. I can form my own opinion.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Let's
have some fun malor fun fact?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Is it true? A Japanese tabloid reporting censorship at Chavez
Ravine the La Dodgers revoking media passes for not one,
but two major television broadcast networks in Japan at complaints
(26:01):
by Shohei Otani and his management team. Yes, Fuji TV
and Nippon TV. Apparently the two networks, according these tabloids
in the tabloid report in Japan, they are two of
the six national TV networks. They have a lot of
pro sports programming. But the tabloid says the networks have
(26:21):
been banned from covering the Dodgers, and also Otani's management
company has banned them from using any old footage of
show Hey what did they do well? Supposedly, the tabloid
says that they went to Otani's new house. He bought
Adam Carolla's old house in La and the comedian Adam Carola,
(26:46):
and they went around his new house interviewing his neighbors,
Otani's new neighbors, asking them about being neighbors with Otani,
and that was apparently a bridge too far. Now, my
question is what about the La Times? Because I read
this I think it was the La Times. I believe
I read it in and they pretty much gave the location.
(27:07):
So are they gonna ban the La Times from covering
the Dodgers? How about Otani having so much power? I
don't know the rules in Japan. I don't live in Japan,
but it kind of know that. But is it possible
that the management team can ban you from using old
footage of show hail Tony? Is that even allowed? I
don't know, but that's an interesting story, and that is
(27:28):
our fun fact. At the bottom of the hour. Let's
say hello to Andrea. She is hanging out in Berkeley.
Hello to our friend Andrea.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Hello Ben, how are you?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
If I was any better, I'd be Dave, but not
Dave in upstate New York, because you know he's got problems.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Yeah, a lot of heat. Yeah, it's a hot one.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Well that's fine. He doesn't get the oath. No oath
for him. He's devastating. He's crying right now, sucking his
thumb in the corner of the room. No oh for him.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
I understand. It takes all kinds. You gotta go with
the flow.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
So exactly, I got to go with the flow, is
what you gotta do. What's on your what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Or speaking of witch, I heard your voice in the
background going, Aaron Rogers.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Erin Rogers, ehit, Rogers. What do you think Rogers is doing?
We're going to find out today. I bet you today
we find out what Rogers chose to do rather than
go to his job with the Jets. And I'm fascinated.
I want to know where he's.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Well, yeah, that's the beauty of astrology. You get kind
of an insider's view. And as we mentioned, he's open
to astrology. December two, nineteen eighty three. I have his
birthtime to fifty pm, Chico, California. His five planets in
free spirited Sagittarius. So obviously he's very you know, freedom love,
(29:00):
an adventurous, a free spirit. But he give me a
little self righteous and impractical and scattered and you know,
restless and almost reckless. So I looked at his transits,
which is what's happening currently. Mars just went into Taurus
gives you a lot of get up and go, and
(29:21):
it's opposing his moon and Scorpio. Moon is home, family emotions,
and Saturn in Scorpio one foot on the gas, one
for on the break. So my sense is, you know,
obviously the plant, you know, this was an unplanned absence
that he had. And then they said, Robert Salas said,
(29:42):
Aaron and I spoke before OTAs. It's inexcused. But he
had an event that was very important to him, which
he communicated. So that said to me, that's some emotional
experience going on his life. Mars's energy assertion a great
moon is home and family. So it's not like he's
(30:04):
having the easiest go of it. But nonetheless, it doesn't
look good for him to start that kind of you know,
reckless Sagittarius wonder lust in now. So I mean he's
been a participant in the Jets voluntary workouts, but you.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Know, well, well we're gonna fight out what are you
what he's up to? And then we can really goof
on him once. We know, but we'll have to wait
till later today. But Andrea, thank you so much. Virgo
in service wants say hello to Andrea. He's got a
newsletter and whatnot. You can say hello to her. And
blind Scott real quick, Blind Scott, give me a quick
take here. I got to move on.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
But you y so Luka Doncic. That guy sucks at
basketball and his rest of the team sucks. That's why
Dallas lost so many times. Dude, I see Christopher Presingis
he's driving around downtown Boston's Mercedes today, and like, why
the hell would you do with it? You don't know
where you're going when you're gonna find everything on your own.
He loves Boston. He's a big club guy. Dude, this
(31:06):
guy he stole this Buick National. You should look up
this article in downtown Boston the other day. The dude
that he put two hundred thousand dollars in this car.
Some kid jumped in and just put it through the floor.
He ripped the part. The whole city tore into all
these cars. You never got caught. I thought it was
like the best thing ever because these people parked their
cars on the sidewalks. Have you heard about the big
North end outdoor dining beef? It's still going on here?
(31:27):
And bought them.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Oh yeah, they put the tables and the what and
on the north end right they're still complaining about that
outdoor nining and.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
One guy threatening to kill somebody. I emailed the two
at the fifth hour, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah, all right, Well we'll get into it on the
fifth hour.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
I don't you want to hear what go on?
Speaker 9 (31:42):

do the big voice guy introduction. I got a game.
By the way, Marcel and Brooklyn, what is going on
with you? Talk about the New York yank You see
what the Yankees are doing here. I don't have time
to get into it right now, but your New York
Yankees march just baby him. They've got a breakout star,
(32:04):
this guy Luis Heal, who's been amazing for the Yankees,
and they're already talking about either sending him to the
bullpen or shutting him down for a time out because
they're they're worried about too many innings and they think
he's gonna It's so ridiculous, It is so stupid. These
(32:25):
these inning limits, they don't work, by the way, they don't.
The Dodgers baby, every pitcher and they all need Tommy
John surgery, every one of them.

the King of password, Eddie. I've got mor wains and
anyone that password
Hello and welcome. It's our Nameber four and we jump
on the train and head to mister Rogers neighborhood. Mister Rogers,
that'd be Aaron Rodgers. For our purposes, Aaron Rodgers has
an unexcused absence from Jets mandatory workouts this week. Do
you find this significant? Also, what is the word for
(00:24):
how things are looking for Jordan Love in Green Bay
as he's looking for a new contract. And any advice
to forty Niner fans who are freaking out following Christian
McCaffrey being named the Madden twenty five cover athlete. We'll
go there as well. Enjoy your Wednesday, have a great
(00:44):
twelfth of June. And here it is our number four
missing from flight school. Well gum, I'm in the beginning
of another hour of the Benmalor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We are in the air everywhere, playing around as we
are just asking for trouble coast to coast, border to
borter in beyond on the.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Vast and strappingly powerful microphones of fsr MM neating live
from the wind as we spit in the wind. We're
broadcasting live from the Tiraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
(01:39):
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. We're trying to set con Justin and Cincinnati
or King Rory count to ten thousand. Tiraq dot com
the way tire buying should be in our headline this hour,
we'll start with football. We'll go to the Swampland of
(02:01):
New Jersey. Why why not? It's offseason workout time, perfect
in the month of June for content and we're in
the content business. So you will not find Aaron Ragers.
You will not find Aaron Rodgers on the practice field.
This week, the Jets quarterback decided to step away from
(02:22):
his responsibilities as quarterback for the New York AFC football team.
If you have not heard by now, maybe you missed it. Okay,
we learned that the Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not
taking part in the mandatory not optional, mandatory mini camp.
The star quarterback informing Robert Sala that he's the one
(02:45):
that wears the pants in the relationship and he's not
going to be there. He let the team know ahead
of time. Robert Sala said that Rogers had quote an
event that was important to him according to Seal, an
event that was clearly more important than his job as
quarterback of the Jets. Now, Rogers was at the Jets
(03:10):
facility the other day on Monday, took a physical and
he took part in some photograph media obligations for the team.
But that was it. And this is not an authorized
leave by Aaron Rodgers. He's going rogue Rogers, Rogue, rogue Rogers.
So let us discuss the question. Aaron Rodgers with an
(03:32):
unexcused absence from the Jets mandatory workouts? Do you find
this significant? So I've got Western Life, one Armed Bandit,
and cartoonish, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to charge your laptop. I
(03:55):
had to charge my computer here was was dying, so
I had to plug it in. Happy to report the
power is working. The power is working here. The roaches
have not eaten the power supply, so that's good. But
to answer the question, do you find it significant that
Aaron Rodgers has an unexcused absence from Jets camp? I
find it poetic, is what I find it. Right now,
(04:16):
we don't know what the reasoning is. I imagine that
sometime today, whether it's schefter or TMZ or you know Rogers.
If he's somewhere and it's in the public sphere at
some you know, Yahoo convention somewhere in Yeha, then Rogers
will it's going to be photographed, it'll be videoed. Will
(04:38):
know probably by the time I wake up where Rogers is.
But it is poetic. And the reason it's poetic is
because Rogers is not letting his day job interfere with
his personal engagement right and giving New York the all
inclusive full Rogers, not the full Monty, the full Rogers here.
(04:59):
It is bizarre. His laying in the NFL. It's kind
of like being an elementary school teacher, a little more physical.
You don't get the summer vacation that teachers get when
they're off in the hot months. Your vacation, if you're
on a team that didn't make the playoffs, like the Jets,
your vacation starts in January and goes until mid July.
(05:20):
You're on vacation. Now that is roughly five months without
having day to day situations with the team. But you
do have occasional staff meetings, and you do have to
show up to workouts from time to time, and All
that is expected is you stay in top physical condition,
that you are in shape. That's it. Just show up
(05:42):
to a few offseason workouts, be in shape and everything's good,
and get a lot of vacation time in the NFL.
And Aaron Rodgers, who's lived this life for a very
long time, he knows about it. And to that he says, phowie,
phowie to that life. He's not living by the code though.
The Western life is, I like to say the code
(06:03):
of the West, that Western life where you do what
has to be done. Like when you have a mandatory
appearance for work, you show up and you take pride
in your work. You don't know where it was, but
we might have a good excuse. I'll tell you what
right now, I will garon effingt to you. If this
was a good excuse, the Jets would not have said
it's an unexcused excuse. If if there's a sick relative.
(06:23):
We know Rogers hates his family, but if there was
like somebody that was sick that Rogers had to go
see or something like that, they'd be like, Okay, that's excuse.
They're not saying that. And you know the team covers
for the star quarterback. That's not going on here. So
Rogers again is he's wearing the blue jeans. He's wearing
the pants all right. Now. Secondly, we go now to
(06:44):
the Badger's State, America's dairy Land, where we are hearing
the Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Do you feel the love?
Jordan Love is said to be optimistic, optimistic on getting
a contract extension done by training camp, which again starts
at about a month. So what is the word? What is
(07:07):
the word on how things are looking for Jordan Love
in Green Bay? So I've got the GPS. We'll start
with it, because Rod, if you look at the situation
Rogers left Jordan Love played, there was a few shaky
moments and then he came on like a super nova.
As the season progressed there in Green Bay, there were
(07:28):
still rough spots that people want to talk about because
they wanted to talk about the positive and a. But
the GPS for Jordan Love is set destination yellow brick Road.
He's on the yellow brick road. Jordan Love is sitting
and I guess the word I will use is one
arm bandit. He's sitting by the one arm bandit and
he knows that he's going to pull the arm on
(07:50):
the one arm bandit and he's going to get three
cherries in a row. And that is a jackpot. That
is a bonanza, and he's going to get that from
the Green Bay Packers floor. I was texting some of
my people that are more familiar with how this stuff
works in the NFL world. And the floor for Jordan Love,
the get in price for Jordan Love at the very minimum,
(08:12):
the Packers low ball Jordan Love forty million dollars a year.
See why, Yes, he's making like eleven which seems pretty
good after taxes. It's probably you know, well he's in Wisconsin,
so it's not too bad, but it's still a lot
of money. But the floor is about forty. It's it's
the trickle down economics, which does work in the NFL.
(08:33):
Because Jared Goff, who's a mid level quarterback in the NFL,
Jared Goff is getting fifty three million shekels from the
Detroit football team. So if golf is at fifty three million,
then Jordan Love and the Love Shack will be hitting
that neighborhood, that tax bracket. They'll be in that world.
(08:55):
The business is business is good. People are buying the product,
selling a lot of the product. They've got a lot
of people mesmerized and hypnotized by the NFL. All right,
final thought, We head now to video game land. That's
why grown adults talking video games. It is a yearly
rite of passage. So we go to the well one
(09:18):
more time. Forty nine Ers running back Christian McCaffery has
been named the cover boy of the Madden twenty five game,
the game that everyone bashes online, how terrible the game is,
but yet people still buy it. So While McCaffrey, the
Star in the Bay Area, described his honor as a
(09:39):
lifelong dream from a little boy wanting to be on
the Madden cover and now that dream has been fulfilled
as he will be the cover boy for the Madden game,
the reaction, though among some some wackadoodles in the forty
nine er fan base, has been more melancholy one of
the negative side. Any advice, Do you have any advice
(10:02):
to the forty niner fans that are biting their fingernails
now and fidgeting following Christian McCaffrey being named the Madden
twenty five cover athlete. So, with all the due respect
to the honorable panel, I will go first. I will
go first here, so I would advise the forty nine
er fan base that is annoyed, those members of the
(10:27):
electorate to go buy an umbrella, because this is becoming
cartoonish the way this works, right, those that believe there
is a Madden cover jinx, those that buy into it
are doomed because it's Hannah Barbera's character Schleppbrock. Cartoonish. I
(10:49):
don't if you remember that character. It's old, but the
character would always have a cloud. And you can say
the forecast for Christian McCaffrey based on the Madden cover
is partly cloudy, partley cloudy, with a chance of a
visit to the injury tent for mister McCaffrey. And here's
my position. I have a nuanced view. I think it's
(11:14):
a nuanced view on the Madden chanks. It's the same
thing that used to happen. There used to be this
back when people actually read physical copy. There used to
be this thing called Sports Illustrated. It went bankrupt recently,
but it used to be a thing, and they had
women in bikinis in there one episode, you know, one issue,
and people should read this thing, and they had this
SI cover Jinks used to be a thing. But much
(11:37):
like the SI cover Jinks, the Madden curse, it's a prophecy.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy because players are picked to
be on the Madden Game typically after a domination situation.
Christian McCaffrey was one of the most impactful players in
the NFL. Last season. He was dominant. The forty nine
(11:58):
Ers got to the Super Bowl, had a lead and
lost it against Kansas City. But you get after a
dominant season, you get typically a regression to the meat.
So just that alone, the numbers go down. You factor
in Christian McCaffrey and you know that little chart where
did you get hurt? And there's like a circle on
(12:19):
his calf, his rib, got injured, his ankle, he's got
a hammy problem. All of that. The last three years
he's missed time with a calf injury, rib injury, ankle,
and hammy. So he's been stamped fragile. So he's an
injury prompt player. The forty nine ers are they going
to get back to the Super Bowl? Probably not. They're
(12:40):
not that much better than the other teams in the NFC,
right This is not Kansas City. That's light years ahead
of everyone else, and it's not that right. The margins
are much thinner in the NFC, and at some point,
at some point, things will We'll slide back a bit
or two for the forty eight. It's rare that you
(13:00):
get back to back Super Bowl appearances if you don't
have Patrick Mahomes as your quarterback or Tom Brady. It's
not usually how that works. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you'd like to comment on any of that, you
are more than welcome to chime in. Speak easy rules
are in effect. All the lines are full anyway, so
don't worry about that. Dollars to donuts, dollars to donuts,
(13:22):
We'll get to that and just rest baby, what's that about.
We'll go there as well, and we'll take your comments
on excess. I said at Ben Maller. We'll do it all,
and we will do it next.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
Ben, I've been on the hold for two hours.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
And I really remember that I was a golden ticket yesterday.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, but you did. But hold is that now, Dave?
That was a bogus golden ticket number one, number two, Yes.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
It was, Dave.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And you didn't tell Coop a Loop that you wanted
to use a golden ticket. Therefore he you didn't have one. Well,
you gotta say that, you dummy. You've gotta say that, Dave. Otherwise,
how am I supposed to know? I'm done with you?
I'm done, all right? You know I'm not gonna give
(16:28):
you the oath, Dave. You never get the youth, Dave.
The oath is over, no oath for you, Dave, You're
never getting the oath.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
I think you square Ben.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
No, you obviously didn't and you don't even know. You
don't even know ticket.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Did you tell your golden ticket?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
No, that part is true. He did not.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
He did not say you want the whole thing's true.
It is a valid golden ticket because you.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Because Dave has me deep down knows he never won
a golden ticket. And that's why he didn't say. You
do not tell me you want to say golden ticket,
because days a fraud. You're a fraud. Dave.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
You're you're a hypocrite, You're a.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You're you're complaining. This is the stupidest complaint. I've taken
a lot of a lot of complaints. You're the king
of This is so redicious, the dumbest complaint. You're complaining
that you didn't get the golden ticket. You didn't even
say the golden How how am I supposed to know? Okay,
(17:42):
are you done? All right? You're not in the militia.
We'll make sure he's out. I need someone to replace Dave.
I need someone to call up right now and take
the oath just because of that douchebag. Call up right now,
whoever wants to take the oath, I'll do the right now.
On the air, let's say a load of Texas Jack, Hello,
(18:05):
Texas Jack.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
How you doing?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm great.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
How you got just a little thought? Maybe those edible
undies are causing your hammer toe?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, maybe maybe that's it. That could be. That could
be the thing, or my my shoes either one.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
You know, why are you a trader?
Speaker 6 (18:28):
How come you don't lack America?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's a good question. You're talking about trader. That's ridiculous.
It's a ridiculous statement.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Canada.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Well, I'm picking the team that's gonna win, the Edmonton Oilers.
I don't know how that's anti American Canada. I would
say real hart.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Was the last time you picked the team that won?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Well, every the Rams, the Clippers got to the Final
four a few years ago. Dodgers won the hardest World
Series of all time in twenty twenty. I won a bunch.
I had Kansas City in the Super Bowl this past year?
Did that what on TV? That was a bold production?
That don't limb and pick the keys? Well? Do I
(19:08):
want to get credit from idiots that listen to a
radio show. So, oh, you picked a team but didn't
doesn't end up winning? This is it? They won. I
picked a team that won. By the way, you're Kyrie, Kyrie.
I know the NBA media doesn't like to talk about
this because they're in the tank with the league. But
there is a video floating around of Kyrie get a
(19:30):
little political, a little political that has not blown up yet.
We'll see if I send it to Eddie. I'll see
if that video blows up up.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
He has an awesome game.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
After he has an awesome game, I don't know, have
an awesome game or not. The Celtics are going to win,
So it's gonna happen tonight. No, it's not. The Celtics
will win and that'll be that, and you'll go on
your merry way and you'll make some excuse And have
you recovered from that beatdown the blind Scott gave you?
Have you recovered from the beatdown that Scott gave you? Yeah,
(20:05):
I've recovered from that.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
That was real tragic.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Good because the Celtics are gonna give you another beatdown tonight.
So people, come on, I'm fine, I'm all right, I'm
perfectly fine. Yeah, I mean, let me point out how
the game tonight the mav Res Texas jack seem the
maver Recks are. They opened to one and half point favorite.
(20:29):
There was a one point line move after the opening line.
Porzingis will he play? Will he not play? Will he
be a decoy? Well, even if he plays, he'll be
a decoy. I agree.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
He'sn't playing Dallas anymore because he was always hurt.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, no, he is always here. But Mavericks are a
two and a half point favorite. Where's the money at
the wise guys? The professionals are loading up on the Mavericks,
loading up on the Mavericks. Over eighty percent of the
money is on Dallas, and even the public is loading
up on Dallas.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Should have asked you should have asked plus money, honey.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I couldn't. She kept cursing so.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Well as balls.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, something like that, well, something like that. Yeah, I'm
sure you didn't hear that, though, I mean, that would
be wrong if you.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, I heard it.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Oh you heard it.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Okay, it was loud and clear.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He was on hold. Okay, you're on hold though, right, yes, sir, okay, good.
See when you're on hold, when you're on hold, you
hear the whole unedited show and all that.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Okay, I got you, I got Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
We don't dump everything while you're on hold, so you
hear the That's one of the benefits that that schmuck
Dave in upstate New York he got to hear that too,
but he didn't appreciate it. He's ungrateful. That's because he's
a he's a He's an Eddie stand. That's why Dave's
an Eddie stand. That's why you don't get as many
perks when you're an eddie guy. You don't know him
(21:52):
in real life. He's been arrested a bunch of times.
He's got a criminal record. He's a loser. I gotta go,
Thank you, all right, go away. I'll say hello to
Kelly in Nashville. Doughnut Kelly. Yeah. I saved this story
for Kelly because she's a donut lady. She's an expert
dollars to donuts. Did you see Kelly? This video and
(22:15):
viral of dolphin receiver Tyreek Hill this week, who claimed,
at age thirty, he just ate a donut for the
first time in his life.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
Yeah. I feel like that's fake news to get pressed
like there's no way you didn't have a donut before thirty.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah. I tend to agree with you. I have no
To be fair, I have something where I've never had
a cup of coffee. I've never tasted coffee in my life,
so that's my thing.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
I'm also the very standout duncan manager. I don't drink
caffeine or sugar, so when people ask me what they
should drink here, I'm very off s face.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Oh well, no, you've got to have a boilerplate response
since you're in the business there, Kelly, Uh yeah, and
and the usually my my.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
That comes out and I'm like, oh, I like this
one of the best yea, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
My experience at restaurants. I always tell my wife this,
but she doesn't figure it out. Like when you ask
a waitress or you know whatever who's serving your food
what to order, they're going to say the most expensive
thing on the venue. So no, no, okay, well, yeah,
I mean, stuff's not too expensive. It dunk, it's not
too well I was.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Gonna say, I mean all of our stuff kind of
costs the same.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So it's a fair point.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
But when people ask me my opinion on the flavors,
I'm always like, yeah, butter pecan, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, well you got to go with you gotta have
a line like I said, you said, oh yeah, that
butterbcr that's a big sellar. People love that. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
And right now, right now, we're really pushing the donut
Coffee Bend, which is a donut flavored syrup with blueberry
shots in it. It's a blueberry doughnut, that's what we're
pushing right now.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
There must be a lot of sugar in that, huh,
A lot of a lot of sugar mixed I got
you all right. Well a very good Kelly, very good,
thank you our friend Kelly.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
Let me just say, though, Ben, it is my favorite.
It is my favorite thing if I ask a server like,
you know, what do you think between this item and
this item and they actually give me like their true
honest opinion, or they say something like, oh, you know,
I don't think that we do this very good, but
this is great automatic like huge hit from me.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Love that. Okay, So besmirch one item and upsell another item.
That's the key.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Look, it's not always the more expensive thing, you know,
because I you know, a lot of times I throw
out stuff that's around the same price. But I just
I want to know your true opinion. There's nothing I
hate more when they're like, well, it really depends what
you're in the mood for, don't I don't know what
I'm in the movie one to do better?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
See what I do is my opposite research. If I
go to a restaurant, I'll go and I'll look at
the menu, I'll like analyze pictures because you can do
that now all these restaurants are online. You can look
at pictures. Oh yes, of course, yeah. You can go
to Scout help PA see what that actually looks like
exactly kind of see how the portion size portion size
like in You know, certain people they're gonna post photos
(25:25):
of stuff they like more than stuff they don't like.
That's other people's opinion. I can form my own opinion.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Let's
have some fun malor fun fact?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Is it true? A Japanese tabloid reporting censorship at Chavez
Ravine the La Dodgers revoking media passes for not one,
but two major television broadcast networks in Japan at complaints
(26:01):
by Shohei Otani and his management team. Yes, Fuji TV
and Nippon TV. Apparently the two networks, according these tabloids
in the tabloid report in Japan, they are two of
the six national TV networks. They have a lot of
pro sports programming. But the tabloid says the networks have
(26:21):
been banned from covering the Dodgers, and also Otani's management
company has banned them from using any old footage of
show Hey what did they do well? Supposedly, the tabloid
says that they went to Otani's new house. He bought
Adam Carolla's old house in La and the comedian Adam Carola,
(26:46):
and they went around his new house interviewing his neighbors,
Otani's new neighbors, asking them about being neighbors with Otani,
and that was apparently a bridge too far. Now, my
question is what about the La Times? Because I read
this I think it was the La Times. I believe
I read it in and they pretty much gave the location.
(27:07):
So are they gonna ban the La Times from covering
the Dodgers? How about Otani having so much power? I
don't know the rules in Japan. I don't live in Japan,
but it kind of know that. But is it possible
that the management team can ban you from using old
footage of show hail Tony? Is that even allowed? I
don't know, but that's an interesting story, and that is
(27:28):
our fun fact. At the bottom of the hour. Let's
say hello to Andrea. She is hanging out in Berkeley.
Hello to our friend Andrea.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Hello Ben, how are you?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
If I was any better, I'd be Dave, but not
Dave in upstate New York, because you know he's got problems.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Yeah, a lot of heat. Yeah, it's a hot one.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Well that's fine. He doesn't get the oath. No oath
for him. He's devastating. He's crying right now, sucking his
thumb in the corner of the room. No oh for him.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
I understand. It takes all kinds. You gotta go with
the flow.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
So exactly, I got to go with the flow, is
what you gotta do. What's on your what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (28:12):
Or speaking of witch, I heard your voice in the
background going, Aaron Rogers.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Erin Rogers, ehit, Rogers. What do you think Rogers is doing?
We're going to find out today. I bet you today
we find out what Rogers chose to do rather than
go to his job with the Jets. And I'm fascinated.
I want to know where he's.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Well, yeah, that's the beauty of astrology. You get kind
of an insider's view. And as we mentioned, he's open
to astrology. December two, nineteen eighty three. I have his
birthtime to fifty pm, Chico, California. His five planets in
free spirited Sagittarius. So obviously he's very you know, freedom love,
(29:00):
an adventurous, a free spirit. But he give me a
little self righteous and impractical and scattered and you know,
restless and almost reckless. So I looked at his transits,
which is what's happening currently. Mars just went into Taurus
gives you a lot of get up and go, and
(29:21):
it's opposing his moon and Scorpio. Moon is home, family emotions,
and Saturn in Scorpio one foot on the gas, one
for on the break. So my sense is, you know,
obviously the plant, you know, this was an unplanned absence
that he had. And then they said, Robert Salas said,
(29:42):
Aaron and I spoke before OTAs. It's inexcused. But he
had an event that was very important to him, which
he communicated. So that said to me, that's some emotional
experience going on his life. Mars's energy assertion a great
moon is home and family. So it's not like he's
(30:04):
having the easiest go of it. But nonetheless, it doesn't
look good for him to start that kind of you know,
reckless Sagittarius wonder lust in now. So I mean he's
been a participant in the Jets voluntary workouts, but you.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Know, well, well we're gonna fight out what are you
what he's up to? And then we can really goof
on him once. We know, but we'll have to wait
till later today. But Andrea, thank you so much. Virgo
in service wants say hello to Andrea. He's got a
newsletter and whatnot. You can say hello to her. And
blind Scott real quick, Blind Scott, give me a quick
take here. I got to move on.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
But you y so Luka Doncic. That guy sucks at
basketball and his rest of the team sucks. That's why
Dallas lost so many times. Dude, I see Christopher Presingis
he's driving around downtown Boston's Mercedes today, and like, why
the hell would you do with it? You don't know
where you're going when you're gonna find everything on your own.
He loves Boston. He's a big club guy. Dude, this
(31:06):
guy he stole this Buick National. You should look up
this article in downtown Boston the other day. The dude
that he put two hundred thousand dollars in this car.
Some kid jumped in and just put it through the floor.
He ripped the part. The whole city tore into all
these cars. You never got caught. I thought it was
like the best thing ever because these people parked their
cars on the sidewalks. Have you heard about the big
North end outdoor dining beef? It's still going on here?
(31:27):
And bought them.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Oh yeah, they put the tables and the what and
on the north end right they're still complaining about that
outdoor nining and.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
One guy threatening to kill somebody. I emailed the two
at the fifth hour, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah, all right, Well we'll get into it on the
fifth hour.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
I don't you want to hear what go on?
Speaker 9 (31:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I di I don't thank you, Marcel? You want to
do the big voice guy introduction. I got a game.
By the way, Marcel and Brooklyn, what is going on
with you? Talk about the New York yank You see
what the Yankees are doing here. I don't have time
to get into it right now, but your New York
Yankees march just baby him. They've got a breakout star,
(32:04):
this guy Luis Heal, who's been amazing for the Yankees,
and they're already talking about either sending him to the
bullpen or shutting him down for a time out because
they're they're worried about too many innings and they think
he's gonna It's so ridiculous, It is so stupid. These
(32:25):
these inning limits, they don't work, by the way, they don't.
The Dodgers baby, every pitcher and they all need Tommy
John surgery, every one of them.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
