Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number faars. We speak our
mind into these powerful podcast microphones on this thirteenth day
of June, this wonderful Thursday today, and you indulge in
the podcast. So here in hour four, we start with
the jay Ees Suck Suck, Suck up to their old
(00:22):
tricks coach Robert Sala a day after announcing it was
an unexcused absence, Robert Sala downplaying Aaron Rodgers absence from
Minnie camp, saying everyone is on the same page. Do
you believe him? And Sam Darnold will officially be QB
one not JJ McCarthy when the Vikings training camp opens up.
Are you okay with this? Well? Tom Brady was placed
(00:44):
in the Patriots Hall of Fame. His number was retired
in a Galla ceremony. Were you impressed by the festivities?
We'll get to all of that and much more right
now here. It is our number Fourtis much ado about nothing?
Welco In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(01:10):
Mahler Show, We are in the air everywhere. We carve
Stone as the lowman on the ladder, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and pioneeringly powerful
microphones of FSR emmating live from the Telegraph as we telegraph.
(01:36):
All of our punches were broadcasting live from the Tirak

and over ten thousand recommended installers tyraq dot com. The
Way tire buying. Showy boy tiger Man over in Utah.
(02:02):
I think he's made ten thousand comments about players from
Baton Rouge, so he likes that number. Ten thousand lead
this hour not from pro bouncy Ball. Although the Boston
Celtics are knocking on the door for a championship. They
won the game last night, as yet again, the mav
Rex fell apart. They came out early out of thirteen
(02:25):
point lead in the first quarter, and then as the
game progressed. It was a few minutes into the third
quarter and all of a sudden, Dallas forgot how to
play basketball. The Celtics, they went turbotastic, turned on the
after burners, had a twenty one point lead in the
fourth quarter. The Mavericks made a run, but in the
(02:46):
end Luca fouled out in a futile attempt to play
fake defense and Kyrie. Both Luca and Kyrie pretty bad
in the second half. As the Celtics, they are one
win away, and then we'll hear all these stories about
this is the new Dynasty or the NBA. The Celtics
are here and then next year they won't be here.
(03:08):
But I leave this hour is from the Big Apple
down the I ninety five highway there in the Big
Apple metro area. The soap opera continues adjacent to Gotham
ein Raders. Relax. Aaron Rodgers is across the ocean, we
are told, but he's still making your headlines now. If
(03:30):
you haven't heard the follow up to a previous Malle monologue,
perhaps not. Jets coach Robert Sala downplaying the much publicized
issue involving the starting quarterback of the New York AFC
football team. In fact, Robert Salad going as far as
to insist that it hasn't caused a distraction or any
(03:52):
unrest within the organization, despite reports to the contrary. Robert
Salas said, quote, Aaron and I are on the exit
exact same page. There's no issue, Salas stated between Aaron
or his teammates for that matter. We addressed it yesterday.
It's more of an issue for everyone outside the building
(04:15):
than it is inside. That's about it, said the motivational
speaking head coach of the Jets. So this is what
I want to talk with you about the question, Robert Salah,
head coach, playing down Aaron Rodgers a day after announcing
an unexcused absence from Mini Caamp mandatory Mini camp, saying
everyone is on the exact same page. Do you believe him?
(04:40):
I've got old Hollywood, magic, eight ball and pilgrimage, and
we'll combine all of these things together and we are
going to make an amazing dish of spaghetti and meatballs.
What we're gonna make. So to kick off the festivities here,
speaking of that, the Flying Spaghetti Monster having breakfast across
(05:06):
from Barney the Dinosaur and Big Bird with Mayor mccheese
overseeing everything. That is more believable than the New York
Jets having no issues with Aaron Rodgers not showing up
to his job, because I will garon Effen to you,
every single player on the Jets is like, well, I
(05:26):
would rather be on vacation somewhere. I would rather be
away I don't want to be here either. And when
you start giving out special treatment, it doesn't matter whether
you're in the NFL, or you're driving a truck, or
you're working at a radio station or you're at a
grocery store. When somebody gets special treatment, it pisses off
(05:48):
the rest of the employees. That's the way it goes.
And when Salah comes out very voisterously and says there's
no issue between Aaron and his teammates and any of that,
I think it's Shakespeare. The coach doth protest too much, methinks,
I think that's Shakespeare. So what change in twenty four hours?
(06:11):
The smart money says nothing other than Robert Sala, the
head coach of the Jets, was taken into the back room.
They played the old arcade game Tampa Tappa rather and
I got a old tap on the shoulder there, and
Sala said, Okay, I will sugarcoat my words, So let
(06:33):
me get this straight. Your franchise quarterback has played four
snaps in a Jets uniform that matter, and now he
is missing a mandatory work assignment. He's taking flex time. Okay.
We are told that he is on an overseas vacation.
(06:54):
Our colleague who makes a little more money than me.
Colin Cowherd said that he's overseas, did not say exactly where,
said the news will come out later today. That's the
company line. But this is an example of when art
imitates life, not art from the deli. I'm talking about art.
It's like that famous scene in an old Hollywood movie Airplane,
(07:14):
which is appropriate because we're talking about the Jets. The
late actor Leslie Nielsen and Robert sala is that character.
You're on the jet and you get on the public
address system and the jet and you say, there's no
reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the
rest of your flight. By the way, By the way,
is there anyone anyone at all who knows how to
(07:37):
fly a plane? Yeah? Because the Jets need a pilot
and Aaron Rodgers is currently drinking my ties in a
banana hammock somewhere, all right. Furthermore from Meaness Sota follow
up follow up to previous mal monologue. It is official now.
Kevin O'Connell, the old Aztec from back in the day,
(07:57):
Kevin O'Connell, head coach in the Cities, says Sam Donald
will continue as the Viking starter when training camp opens
up next month. Team wrapped up their final OTA workouts,
no more for the spring. That means that rookie first
rater JJ McCarthy, a Michigan man, is a background actor.
(08:22):
He's a bit player going into training camp. So let's
discuss Sam Donald will be QB one, not JJ McCarthy
when the Vikings open up camp. Are you okay with this?
So it's not really a question if I'm okay with it.
I'm not a Viking fan. I have friends that are
Viking fans. I had a great time in Minnesota. We
(08:42):
have a lot of wonderful people that like this show.
God bless you all. Nevertheless, this is awkward, right. We
asked our friend the Magic eight ball should the Vikings
be okay with Sam Donald as the starter? Because I
think the person answer this is the magic eight ball,
because any team that is using Sam Donald as a
starter is likely involved with a balls if you know
(09:04):
what I'm saying. But the Magic eight ball said outlook
not so good, and this is the problem. We had
a guy from Minnesota call the other day asked about
Sam Donald. Sam Donald for a couple of games probably
will be fine. The Vikings have a relatively rock solid
set of playmakers at wide receiver. You could make the point,
(09:25):
and I think you'd be wrong that they have a
more talented group at the very top of their depth
chart for wide receiver than any other team in the NFL.
There's no one you would rather have in terms of
a unit than the Viking wide receivers compared to anyone else.
And justin Jefferson's way out in front of everyone, and
Addison has been great. But here's the problem. In big moments,
(09:48):
do you trust that Sam Donald is not going to
act like Mitch McConnell and freeze up and stop midplay
and he's not gonna have a malfunction. I don't. The
fact that he's QB one is an indictment of J. J.
McCarthy that he's not ready. Okay, he's not ready. He's
drafted him in the first round. And plus you get
(10:10):
a lot of pats on the back, Well, those coaches,
they're playing the long game, and the idiots in the media, oh,
wait to go, you're guaranteed you get a good player.
It doesn't always work out that way. In fact, oftentimes
it doesn't. You only remember the ones it does work
out you. You forget the ones like Jake Locker who
didn't play right away for the Tennessee Titans and then
couldn't play all right. Last thing. Now, I gonna spend
(10:30):
a lot of time on this. I did watch some
of it on the interweb. But Tom Brady. Tom Brady
was placed in the Patriots Hall of Fame the red jacket.
He was also given the honor of having his number
twelve jersey retired hanging in the rafters, well actually on
the side the stadium there in Foxborough, Gallas ceremony. Who's
(10:54):
who of jock sniffers and ex teammates were all there,
and they were smiling, shaking hand. Major players and entertainment
were on hand. We don't need to give you the
names because they've got big enough egos. But trust me,
everyone was there. Wasn't nearly as good as the Tom
Brady roast from what I watched. Peyton Manning, for example,
(11:15):
made an appearance. But this was this was not for me.
That's the way I will answer the question about were
you impressed? It was not for me. It was an
event designed for the Brady stand. It was a slab fest.
What I watched, you had the number twelve knee pads
and they included a number twelve pillow. The fact that
(11:37):
they did this on the night the Celtics were playing
in an NBA Finals game is a barrel of laughs.
And they did it, from what I was told, for
marketing reasons, that they wanted to sell merchandise that said
six twelve on it because that was the date yesterday today,
Welcome to six thirteen. Now, I don't know whether the
(12:00):
that's true or not. I had a listener in Boston
who listens to us on our home on the sports
up there, who emailed me and said, well, they did
it because they were selling merchandise and they wanted to
They wanted the six twelve tie in number twelve, six
championships and all that. So that's why they did it. Okay,
But if you're a Patriot backer, this is all you
got to look forward to. The team is going to distinct,
(12:21):
they're gonna be They might as well bring back pack Patriot.
They're going to suck for the foreseeable future. Gurad Males
there for a couple of years. Then they'll bring in
another coach and they'll go through seven or eight quarterbacks
before they find one they can play. But these are
the kind of things where you overdose on dopamine. Traveling
on a slow boat down Memory Lane river is what
(12:44):
you do.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
And it's it's a pilgrimage to the Mecca, is what
it is. It's a patriot pilgrimage to the Mecca. Tom
Brady was given the bubble bath and the shoulder rub
and these these type of events are like living funeral.
They are, and in some cultures that's the way it's
an I kind of think, as I've been to a
(13:07):
lot of funerals, I think you're kind of doing if
you live long enough and you're kind on your death,
I think it's more meaningful to do it while the
person's still around. But anyway, way, way upbeat, celebratory and
all that, and you know, just having a having a
fine time, having a having a fine time. But not
my thing. Not my thing. You know, it should have
been done on a night there wasn't an NBA Finals game.
(13:29):
It's rather rude to do it. How to hope you
sold a lot of T shirts and all the other
knickknacks that you were trying to sell. It is the

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Well the world coming up in a couple of minutes.
We had mentioned in a previous episode of the show
that the wise guys, the professional gamblers and the public
both were on the side of the Dallas Mavericks, who
were a slight favorite in the NBA game that was
played on Wednesday night. It did not go. The house
(16:20):
won a lot of money. Let's put it that way.
The house won a lot of money at least on
that And there's a bunch of other prop bets, and
it's very complicated how most money's just bet on the
outcome winter loss points spread. That's what I've been told
where the most of the money is. But there's a
bunch of prop bets and people bet varying amounts of
money on that. So the next game on the NBA
(16:40):
Finals schedule is tomorrow, Friday night, eight thirty eastern seven
to thirty local time there in the Dallas Metroplex, and
the Mavericks opened a one point favorite in that game,
and the line has stayed the same. The overnight line
is at one, Mavericks favored by one. They were favored
(17:03):
by one, actually faired by two and a half in
the game that was played last night. And yet again
early money the information that I have early money, the
professionals are betting on the mav Res. Now the public
is a little more split, but pretty wide gap in
the big money wagers in favor of the Dallas Mavericks.
(17:27):
So take that for what it's worth. They were wrong
in the last game, and at this point they were
They're saying it's going to be a gentleman's sweep where
you allow the other team to win a game, but
you win in five, and then you get that one
one in the next I guess the next game would
be on is it Sunday or Monday? I don't have
a travel day, so I looked that far ahead in
(17:48):
the schedule, and they're likely will not be a game five,
so you don't have to really worry about a game
five because the way things are going not gonna matter.
All right, Well, take some calls here. My board is
being reset as we speak. But the Hoypool Mallard prop
guy sent a very cool etch A sketch of me,
which was very exciting. Thank you, Mallard prop guy. I
(18:10):
think that's is that some kind of like app deal
or something like that. I don't know. I look really good.
I look better on an etch a sketch than I
do in real life, which is a bad sign. You're
not supposed to look better in an etch a sketch
than you do in real life. But the thing he
sent Mala prop guy, I was like, that's pretty good.
I kind of like that, and I don't usually looking
at myself in photos. That's why I went to radio
(18:32):
No late night drug tester says with the Patriots on
the decline a good thing. In New England. Radio stations
like The Big Jab have callers like Whoopee Pie Blair
to fill the content. Yeah, the great Whoopee Pie Blair.
Let's go to Dave. Well, this can't be the same.
(18:54):
This can't be the same guy because he quit the show,
but it says it must be somebody with the same name.
Dave in ups State, New York. Hello, Dave good.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
More than Benn. I'm gonna start off by saying, oh, he's.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Cashing a gold the tack and he's cashing got gold.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I got.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Anyways, then I want to apologize. I talked to my
therapist yesterday. I shouldn't have called you a fraud. I
shouldn't have been mean to you, But my therapist says,
I should really ask you the plain to me in
your words, why the Lakers championship and the pandemic is
not a righteous championship, but the Dodgers is the hardest
(19:39):
of all.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Okay, all right, I'm glad, all right, now, I'm glad
you're you're seeing a therapist, and I hope you're on
some meds because you're often incoherent when you call this show.
So I hope that you're on the medication and all that.
You have a lot of nutball theories. But yeah, so
the way it worked in basketball, it's a war of attrition. Okay,
I'm gonna spell this. I'm gonna talk I'm gonna tell
you this, like you're in kindergarten, right, you're five years old.
(20:01):
So it's a war of attrition. The traditions house done
very tough to play on the road, off and right,
hostile environment. Twenty twenty, no road games. You were playing
at a Disney resort, and you didn't have the war
of attrition. You had four months off before you played
a few regular season games, and then you went right
(20:22):
to the playoffs. So much easier baseball. On the other hand,
baseball during the regular season, you have one hundred and
sixty two games. Right, it's a marathon. It's not a sprint,
meaning you can have a bad month, you can have
an injury, and you can overcome it. In fact, we've
seen teams in recent years. The Washington Nationals won a
(20:42):
World Series a few years ago, pretty mediocre Philadelphia Phillies
got to the World Series. They didn't win it, but
they were pretty mediocre. The Texas Rangers this past year.
They ended up with a nice record, but they were
at midseason, they were doing all that well. They were
kind of going through the So the point, Dave is
that year in baseball it was a sixty game sprint.
(21:03):
One key injury and you're cooked. So it was much
more difficult, much more difficult the way the game was
played in twenty twenty in baseball and basketball. That's it, Dave,
take your medication and see your therapist.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Can I take the off now? I really want to
be a member that Mallard militia.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
We just got into a fight yesterday. How about next week, Dave,
give me two more decent calls and then next week?
How about that?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
All right? Now, one more thing on your point. If
they're playing at Disney World in a bubble and the
team is from La, aren't they winning on the road?
Didn't you say that's the hardest part of basketball is
winning on the road.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
No, they were not. They were all living at the
resort in Orlando, the Disney resort. It wasn't technically in Orlando,
but it was in that area.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Yeah, but they're not.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Are we going to get? I mean, what do you
want me? It's a great point game, terrible point, it's
a terrible point. Change it You're you're just you're just
you're further improving. How Ben is just fill the crap
when it comes to this stop this is my greatest
is this take masterpiece, masterpiece, take theaters. That's that take.
It's the greatest take of all time. Wrong go away.
(22:15):
Let's go to a man who confidently predicted that the
Dallas Mavericks We're gonna win the championship and not the
team from his region. Disappointment to every man, woman, and
child in the state of Maine. Whoopee pie, Blair Blair,

Speaker 1 (24:04):
To get up, Blair, if I remember correctly when we
had the Mallard meet and greed in Boston and you were,
you know, you had your buddy drive you down, which
is very kind of him to do that.

Speaker 8 (25:01):
Yeah, let me explain the better part of this. I'm
walking down to go to the bar, and some guys
walking past me. Yea, my way of bleeping white boy.
I'm like, what, don't say anything, just walk anything that guy,

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I have a question from a from my fan. How
how is the Rocky Twins game a game? Of note, Diddy,
how is that a game of note?
Speaker 7 (25:57):
The Twins are doing pretty well, right, I'll think you're
not in a wild guards.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Playing the Rockies as a game of note? You know?
Oh tough. Is there a panel, an esteemed panel of
judges that decide what a game of note is? Uh?
Speaker 7 (26:11):
No, just want a panel of one, panel of one?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, okay, yeah, there's some people questioning the panel the decision.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
I'm just you know, you you like to you know,
prop up markets to twin cities is a big Ben
Maler show market.

Well yeah, we do, right, You want to, don't.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
You want to be a kind of those people you
suck up to the Kansas City people all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Well, the people in Kansas City are excited. They actually
want to hear the score of their team.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
I've never ever since they complained though they've like lost
every game.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It seems like, well that's fine, but they still are
happy they won. They beat you, they own you, and
they got you to give the royal score.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Well it's only because really they're playing the Yankees, if
I'm being honest about it.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
God, yeah, but you did a Rocky twin score?
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Why are you like? Why do you you wanted me
to give all the baseball scores the other night?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yes, I do, well. I think it's is you give
all the w NB scores, but you're tonight because there's
only one game. If there were two games, you would
have given two scores. If there were three games, would
have given three. Yesterday, I think you did, but one
you forgot. And then you got the batphone rang and
you got a call from from Alfred. The butler called
you up and said you screwed that up. Yeah. Hey,

Hello Tony in the Bay Area.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Tony, hey man, make the game music stop? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Okay, thank you? Ah very nice. Let's if we have
time for the fun fact, let's do a fun fact.
We do a fun fact. Fun fact? How bad are
the white size? I wish Mark was here so I
could bust his shops. The Chicago White Sox are so
bad that the Seattle Mariners, who have played seventy games,
(28:06):
they're ten games over five hundred, forty and thirty. The
Seattle Mariners could lose ninety plus every one of their games,
all the games left on their schedule. What is that?
That's they played seventies, so they have ninety two games left.
They could lose all ninety two games every game the
rest of the year. And we were told they would
have a higher winning percentage than the White Sox currently
(28:27):
have Put that in your five and smoke it. And
the White Sox at seventeen and fifty two, the worst
start in franchise history, tied for the seventh worst MLB
start of all time, one of which the nineteen eighty
two Twins came after nineteen thirty two. So really, in
(28:47):
the modern era, it's only them in the eighty two
Twins that are are that bad. Let's get over to
Eddie though right now, and we will puck with Eddie Garcy.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
Are they then?
Speaker 5 (28:59):
He's Stanley Cup final is through two games so far
between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers, the Panthers
winning the first two games on home ice. Game one
a three and nothing shut out behind goalie serg game
Lebrovski's thirty two saves, while Edmondson was zero for three
on the power play, and that went in their stars
Conor McDavid and Leandrey Saiddle obviously not getting any points
in the shoutout loss. Game two, the Panthers win it
(29:20):
four to one to take a two ozero series lead.
Evan Rodriguez with a pair of bowls, one of them
on the power play. That's stepped to streak of thirty
four straight power piece killed off by Edmondson and the
Oilers went zero for four on the power play, so
that oh for seven in the series, only one.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Shot on negative. Why are you so negative? Why can't
you be positive?
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Well, how do you turn a positive into going oh
for seven on the power play?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
They're due? That's stupid.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Florida is a plus seventeen through the first two games,
rus shots the first two games through the playoffs so far.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
That tells you what they have done, not what they're
going to do it.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
No, I don't know what they're going to do, so
I can only tell you what they have done.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I know what they're going to do relative of Domin.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
By the way, No he was, Yes he was.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
You're you're a hater. Ready, go look at it.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Look up the history of Nora coming.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
In Anti no stra damists a wacko. No one's respecting
their time and it's only after they die their respect.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
So Florida is a plus seventeen in the third period
so far this postseason and a plus four so far
in the series. So that means they're the better team
as the game goes on and that will probably continue.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Edmondson one one game going to the third curd the
last game. Oh, it was such a one at the
end of the game.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Game it does not Actually final score actually does matter.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
That's a weird one.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Bound to the off the Zamboni, so teams that have
had a two oero series lead fifty four and five in.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
The history of the Stanley.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Cup Final and again game three tonight in Edmonton as
the Oilers. Basically, if they don't win, it's just like
the Celtics, it's the series is over. NHL Commissioner Gary
Bedman healthy State of the League address ahead of the
opening game, with the final.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Love that that's very.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Yeah, what do you think you said all this.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
Well, of course, the salary cap going up next season
to eighty eight million dollars. They're not gonna have an
All Star Game next year. They're gonna have a new
thing called the Four Nations Tournament. US US, Canada, Finland,
and Sweden will be competing in a round robin tournament.
The games will we played February twelfth through the twenty
of twenty.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Twenty five, and we have that it's called the Olympics.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
You moron, Well, because a're only four years and they
don't control the Olympics this they make all the money
from this event, which is why they.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Want to I'm not supporting that, Eddie. As a hockey purist,
I go back to the original six Eddie. I don't see.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Yeah, four games in Montreal and then the Metal Round
Games I guess you want to call them, will.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Be in Boston.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Bettman also declining to offer a timeline on the future
of NHL expansion.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
It's coming soon, don't worry about that.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Where are they going. They're going to Houston, back to
Phoenix maybe, yeah, probably most likely. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
There is talk of the Florida Panthers hosting an outdoor
game at the home of the Miami Barlans next season.
The Panthers and the Coyotes slash Utah team, the only
teams have yet done have yet to participate in an
NHL outdoor game. Jim Nill of the Dallas Stars named
Your General Manager of the Year for a second time,
received one hundred and eighteen votes. The Utah Hockey Team
(32:12):
are down to six finalists.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Hockey Club they haven't decided yet.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
No, get it was a terrible blizzards and of course
yety is the one that has to be the credit.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
Here we got.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
NHL unveiled something new for the Stanley Cup final.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
They did a broadcast in American sign language, which got
a lot of praise for people.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah anyone, did anyone hear it?
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Is?
Speaker 7 (32:45):
No, here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
I get if they want to have that for like
a pregame show in between periods kind of a thing.
But do they need to do play by play? Can't
you watch the game? I mean an if you're watching
the silent language, do you know what they are?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
You an option?
Speaker 5 (33:02):
You have a closed caption already, I don't. I mean,
it's one of those things. I think they they're looking
for pats on the back, and they probably got them.
But is it really necessary to do play like language?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
That's like that's virtue of singling. It's like, you know,
that's what that is. It's like, oh, we're better people.
You know, it's okay, you're wonderful. Congratulations, you know, way
to go.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Obviously I do have my hearing. But if I didn't,
I think I just watched what was happening. I don't
think I need anyone to explain it to me.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Anyway.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
That is your Pucker World report.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Did they did they sign cliches? Did they?
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It ain't over till it's over, taking one one possession
at a time, one shift at a time, one blue
line at a time. You know that old thing. Anyway,

Here we go three stories. Figure out which are the

Grong Joey Chestnut ban from the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest,
(36:18):
but a familiar star looking to take his place at
the top of the mountain, Rob Kronkowski recently revealed this
weekend will take part in a qualifying event at the
Alameda County Fair, and if he's able to win that contest,
he will be invited to Cony Island for the July
fourth ed Story Number two, Get that NFL money Bronco
(36:38):
linebacker Baron Browning giving away a share of his future

of his earnings on his next contract. In conjunction with
a company that messes around with us Up Browning is
selling one hundred thousand shares of his contract. In return,
shareholders are entitled to collect one percent of his future
(37:01):
on field earnings. I don't know who that guy is.
And story number three, drink the w Jake Paul. We'll

Iron Mike Tyson. But in the meantime, the annoying YouTuber

The brand is called W. It includes body washed, body spray,

Lexus number two? Number two? All right, congratulations, you are
all wrong. The fake story was numb burn. Yeah, gone, guess.
(38:22):
I'm sure gon Krusky thought about it, but that we
made up that story. He's not a qualifiers for the
hot dog contest.
Hello and welcome. It's our number faars. We speak our
mind into these powerful podcast microphones on this thirteenth day
of June, this wonderful Thursday today, and you indulge in
the podcast. So here in hour four, we start with
the jay Ees Suck Suck, Suck up to their old
(00:22):
tricks coach Robert Sala a day after announcing it was
an unexcused absence, Robert Sala downplaying Aaron Rodgers absence from
Minnie camp, saying everyone is on the same page. Do
you believe him? And Sam Darnold will officially be QB
one not JJ McCarthy when the Vikings training camp opens up.
Are you okay with this? Well? Tom Brady was placed
(00:44):
in the Patriots Hall of Fame. His number was retired
in a Galla ceremony. Were you impressed by the festivities?
We'll get to all of that and much more right
now here. It is our number Fourtis much ado about nothing?
Welco In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(01:10):
Mahler Show, We are in the air everywhere. We carve
Stone as the lowman on the ladder, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and pioneeringly powerful
microphones of FSR emmating live from the Telegraph as we telegraph.
(01:36):
All of our punches were broadcasting live from the Tirak
dot com studios tyraq dot com. We'll help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free roadhazard protection
and over ten thousand recommended installers tyraq dot com. The
Way tire buying. Showy boy tiger Man over in Utah.
(02:02):
I think he's made ten thousand comments about players from
Baton Rouge, so he likes that number. Ten thousand lead
this hour not from pro bouncy Ball. Although the Boston
Celtics are knocking on the door for a championship. They
won the game last night, as yet again, the mav
Rex fell apart. They came out early out of thirteen
(02:25):
point lead in the first quarter, and then as the
game progressed. It was a few minutes into the third
quarter and all of a sudden, Dallas forgot how to
play basketball. The Celtics, they went turbotastic, turned on the
after burners, had a twenty one point lead in the
fourth quarter. The Mavericks made a run, but in the
(02:46):
end Luca fouled out in a futile attempt to play
fake defense and Kyrie. Both Luca and Kyrie pretty bad
in the second half. As the Celtics, they are one
win away, and then we'll hear all these stories about
this is the new Dynasty or the NBA. The Celtics
are here and then next year they won't be here.
(03:08):
But I leave this hour is from the Big Apple
down the I ninety five highway there in the Big
Apple metro area. The soap opera continues adjacent to Gotham
ein Raders. Relax. Aaron Rodgers is across the ocean, we
are told, but he's still making your headlines now. If
(03:30):
you haven't heard the follow up to a previous Malle monologue,
perhaps not. Jets coach Robert Sala downplaying the much publicized
issue involving the starting quarterback of the New York AFC
football team. In fact, Robert Salad going as far as
to insist that it hasn't caused a distraction or any
(03:52):
unrest within the organization, despite reports to the contrary. Robert
Salas said, quote, Aaron and I are on the exit
exact same page. There's no issue, Salas stated between Aaron
or his teammates for that matter. We addressed it yesterday.
It's more of an issue for everyone outside the building
(04:15):
than it is inside. That's about it, said the motivational
speaking head coach of the Jets. So this is what
I want to talk with you about the question, Robert Salah,
head coach, playing down Aaron Rodgers a day after announcing
an unexcused absence from Mini Caamp mandatory Mini camp, saying
everyone is on the exact same page. Do you believe him?
(04:40):
I've got old Hollywood, magic, eight ball and pilgrimage, and
we'll combine all of these things together and we are
going to make an amazing dish of spaghetti and meatballs.
What we're gonna make. So to kick off the festivities here,
speaking of that, the Flying Spaghetti Monster having breakfast across
(05:06):
from Barney the Dinosaur and Big Bird with Mayor mccheese
overseeing everything. That is more believable than the New York
Jets having no issues with Aaron Rodgers not showing up
to his job, because I will garon Effen to you,
every single player on the Jets is like, well, I
(05:26):
would rather be on vacation somewhere. I would rather be
away I don't want to be here either. And when
you start giving out special treatment, it doesn't matter whether
you're in the NFL, or you're driving a truck, or
you're working at a radio station or you're at a
grocery store. When somebody gets special treatment, it pisses off
(05:48):
the rest of the employees. That's the way it goes.
And when Salah comes out very voisterously and says there's
no issue between Aaron and his teammates and any of that,
I think it's Shakespeare. The coach doth protest too much, methinks,
I think that's Shakespeare. So what change in twenty four hours?
(06:11):
The smart money says nothing other than Robert Sala, the
head coach of the Jets, was taken into the back room.
They played the old arcade game Tampa Tappa rather and
I got a old tap on the shoulder there, and
Sala said, Okay, I will sugarcoat my words, So let
(06:33):
me get this straight. Your franchise quarterback has played four
snaps in a Jets uniform that matter, and now he
is missing a mandatory work assignment. He's taking flex time. Okay.
We are told that he is on an overseas vacation.
(06:54):
Our colleague who makes a little more money than me.
Colin Cowherd said that he's overseas, did not say exactly where,
said the news will come out later today. That's the
company line. But this is an example of when art
imitates life, not art from the deli. I'm talking about art.
It's like that famous scene in an old Hollywood movie Airplane,
(07:14):
which is appropriate because we're talking about the Jets. The
late actor Leslie Nielsen and Robert sala is that character.
You're on the jet and you get on the public
address system and the jet and you say, there's no
reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the
rest of your flight. By the way, By the way,
is there anyone anyone at all who knows how to
(07:37):
fly a plane? Yeah? Because the Jets need a pilot
and Aaron Rodgers is currently drinking my ties in a
banana hammock somewhere, all right. Furthermore from Meaness Sota follow
up follow up to previous mal monologue. It is official now.
Kevin O'Connell, the old Aztec from back in the day,
(07:57):
Kevin O'Connell, head coach in the Cities, says Sam Donald
will continue as the Viking starter when training camp opens
up next month. Team wrapped up their final OTA workouts,
no more for the spring. That means that rookie first
rater JJ McCarthy, a Michigan man, is a background actor.
(08:22):
He's a bit player going into training camp. So let's
discuss Sam Donald will be QB one, not JJ McCarthy
when the Vikings open up camp. Are you okay with this?
So it's not really a question if I'm okay with it.
I'm not a Viking fan. I have friends that are
Viking fans. I had a great time in Minnesota. We
(08:42):
have a lot of wonderful people that like this show.
God bless you all. Nevertheless, this is awkward, right. We
asked our friend the Magic eight ball should the Vikings
be okay with Sam Donald as the starter? Because I
think the person answer this is the magic eight ball,
because any team that is using Sam Donald as a
starter is likely involved with a balls if you know
(09:04):
what I'm saying. But the Magic eight ball said outlook
not so good, and this is the problem. We had
a guy from Minnesota call the other day asked about
Sam Donald. Sam Donald for a couple of games probably
will be fine. The Vikings have a relatively rock solid
set of playmakers at wide receiver. You could make the point,
(09:25):
and I think you'd be wrong that they have a
more talented group at the very top of their depth
chart for wide receiver than any other team in the NFL.
There's no one you would rather have in terms of
a unit than the Viking wide receivers compared to anyone else.
And justin Jefferson's way out in front of everyone, and
Addison has been great. But here's the problem. In big moments,
(09:48):
do you trust that Sam Donald is not going to
act like Mitch McConnell and freeze up and stop midplay
and he's not gonna have a malfunction. I don't. The
fact that he's QB one is an indictment of J. J.
McCarthy that he's not ready. Okay, he's not ready. He's
drafted him in the first round. And plus you get
(10:10):
a lot of pats on the back, Well, those coaches,
they're playing the long game, and the idiots in the media, oh,
wait to go, you're guaranteed you get a good player.
It doesn't always work out that way. In fact, oftentimes
it doesn't. You only remember the ones it does work
out you. You forget the ones like Jake Locker who
didn't play right away for the Tennessee Titans and then
couldn't play all right. Last thing. Now, I gonna spend
(10:30):
a lot of time on this. I did watch some
of it on the interweb. But Tom Brady. Tom Brady
was placed in the Patriots Hall of Fame the red jacket.
He was also given the honor of having his number
twelve jersey retired hanging in the rafters, well actually on
the side the stadium there in Foxborough, Gallas ceremony. Who's
(10:54):
who of jock sniffers and ex teammates were all there,
and they were smiling, shaking hand. Major players and entertainment
were on hand. We don't need to give you the
names because they've got big enough egos. But trust me,
everyone was there. Wasn't nearly as good as the Tom
Brady roast from what I watched. Peyton Manning, for example,
(11:15):
made an appearance. But this was this was not for me.
That's the way I will answer the question about were
you impressed? It was not for me. It was an
event designed for the Brady stand. It was a slab fest.
What I watched, you had the number twelve knee pads
and they included a number twelve pillow. The fact that
(11:37):
they did this on the night the Celtics were playing
in an NBA Finals game is a barrel of laughs.
And they did it, from what I was told, for
marketing reasons, that they wanted to sell merchandise that said
six twelve on it because that was the date yesterday today,
Welcome to six thirteen. Now, I don't know whether the
(12:00):
that's true or not. I had a listener in Boston
who listens to us on our home on the sports
up there, who emailed me and said, well, they did
it because they were selling merchandise and they wanted to
They wanted the six twelve tie in number twelve, six
championships and all that. So that's why they did it. Okay,
But if you're a Patriot backer, this is all you
got to look forward to. The team is going to distinct,
(12:21):
they're gonna be They might as well bring back pack Patriot.
They're going to suck for the foreseeable future. Gurad Males
there for a couple of years. Then they'll bring in
another coach and they'll go through seven or eight quarterbacks
before they find one they can play. But these are
the kind of things where you overdose on dopamine. Traveling
on a slow boat down Memory Lane river is what
(12:44):
you do.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
And it's it's a pilgrimage to the Mecca, is what
it is. It's a patriot pilgrimage to the Mecca. Tom
Brady was given the bubble bath and the shoulder rub
and these these type of events are like living funeral.
They are, and in some cultures that's the way it's
an I kind of think, as I've been to a
(13:07):
lot of funerals, I think you're kind of doing if
you live long enough and you're kind on your death,
I think it's more meaningful to do it while the
person's still around. But anyway, way, way upbeat, celebratory and
all that, and you know, just having a having a
fine time, having a having a fine time. But not
my thing. Not my thing. You know, it should have
been done on a night there wasn't an NBA Finals game.
(13:29):
It's rather rude to do it. How to hope you
sold a lot of T shirts and all the other
knickknacks that you were trying to sell. It is the
Ben Mallor Show. As we continue on, if you would
like to be part, you can join us here speak easy,
rules are in effect. We'll get back to the calls
coming up here momentarily. Also on X at Ben Mallor.

That's at Ben Malor. If you would like to be
part of the program, there is a line open and
we may even take your comment on you if your call.
But there's every line's open on X because you know
there's no lines. You see how that works. There's no
lunch all right, straight ahead, I'm told there is still
hockey going on, and I am told the Edmonton Oilers
my hockey guys at Eddie, he tells me the Oilers
(14:10):
are going to come back here in the Stanley Cup.
To explain how they're going to come back, I will
have punked that well with Eddie, we'll get to that
and we will do it next.

called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, you blubber list lame and me.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Well the world coming up in a couple of minutes.
We had mentioned in a previous episode of the show
that the wise guys, the professional gamblers and the public
both were on the side of the Dallas Mavericks, who
were a slight favorite in the NBA game that was
played on Wednesday night. It did not go. The house
(16:20):
won a lot of money. Let's put it that way.
The house won a lot of money at least on
that And there's a bunch of other prop bets, and
it's very complicated how most money's just bet on the
outcome winter loss points spread. That's what I've been told
where the most of the money is. But there's a
bunch of prop bets and people bet varying amounts of
money on that. So the next game on the NBA
(16:40):
Finals schedule is tomorrow, Friday night, eight thirty eastern seven
to thirty local time there in the Dallas Metroplex, and
the Mavericks opened a one point favorite in that game,
and the line has stayed the same. The overnight line
is at one, Mavericks favored by one. They were favored
(17:03):
by one, actually faired by two and a half in
the game that was played last night. And yet again
early money the information that I have early money, the
professionals are betting on the mav Res. Now the public
is a little more split, but pretty wide gap in
the big money wagers in favor of the Dallas Mavericks.
(17:27):
So take that for what it's worth. They were wrong
in the last game, and at this point they were
They're saying it's going to be a gentleman's sweep where
you allow the other team to win a game, but
you win in five, and then you get that one
one in the next I guess the next game would
be on is it Sunday or Monday? I don't have
a travel day, so I looked that far ahead in
(17:48):
the schedule, and they're likely will not be a game five,
so you don't have to really worry about a game
five because the way things are going not gonna matter.
All right, Well, take some calls here. My board is
being reset as we speak. But the Hoypool Mallard prop
guy sent a very cool etch A sketch of me,
which was very exciting. Thank you, Mallard prop guy. I
(18:10):
think that's is that some kind of like app deal
or something like that. I don't know. I look really good.
I look better on an etch a sketch than I
do in real life, which is a bad sign. You're
not supposed to look better in an etch a sketch
than you do in real life. But the thing he
sent Mala prop guy, I was like, that's pretty good.
I kind of like that, and I don't usually looking
at myself in photos. That's why I went to radio
(18:32):
No late night drug tester says with the Patriots on
the decline a good thing. In New England. Radio stations
like The Big Jab have callers like Whoopee Pie Blair
to fill the content. Yeah, the great Whoopee Pie Blair.
Let's go to Dave. Well, this can't be the same.
(18:54):
This can't be the same guy because he quit the show,
but it says it must be somebody with the same name.
Dave in ups State, New York. Hello, Dave good.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
More than Benn. I'm gonna start off by saying, oh, he's.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Cashing a gold the tack and he's cashing got gold.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I got.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Anyways, then I want to apologize. I talked to my
therapist yesterday. I shouldn't have called you a fraud. I
shouldn't have been mean to you, But my therapist says,
I should really ask you the plain to me in
your words, why the Lakers championship and the pandemic is
not a righteous championship, but the Dodgers is the hardest
(19:39):
of all.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Okay, all right, I'm glad, all right, now, I'm glad
you're you're seeing a therapist, and I hope you're on
some meds because you're often incoherent when you call this show.
So I hope that you're on the medication and all that.
You have a lot of nutball theories. But yeah, so
the way it worked in basketball, it's a war of attrition. Okay,
I'm gonna spell this. I'm gonna talk I'm gonna tell
you this, like you're in kindergarten, right, you're five years old.
(20:01):
So it's a war of attrition. The traditions house done
very tough to play on the road, off and right,
hostile environment. Twenty twenty, no road games. You were playing
at a Disney resort, and you didn't have the war
of attrition. You had four months off before you played
a few regular season games, and then you went right
(20:22):
to the playoffs. So much easier baseball. On the other hand,
baseball during the regular season, you have one hundred and
sixty two games. Right, it's a marathon. It's not a sprint,
meaning you can have a bad month, you can have
an injury, and you can overcome it. In fact, we've
seen teams in recent years. The Washington Nationals won a
(20:42):
World Series a few years ago, pretty mediocre Philadelphia Phillies
got to the World Series. They didn't win it, but
they were pretty mediocre. The Texas Rangers this past year.
They ended up with a nice record, but they were
at midseason, they were doing all that well. They were
kind of going through the So the point, Dave is
that year in baseball it was a sixty game sprint.
(21:03):
One key injury and you're cooked. So it was much
more difficult, much more difficult the way the game was
played in twenty twenty in baseball and basketball. That's it, Dave,
take your medication and see your therapist.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Can I take the off now? I really want to
be a member that Mallard militia.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
We just got into a fight yesterday. How about next week, Dave,
give me two more decent calls and then next week?
How about that?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
All right? Now, one more thing on your point. If
they're playing at Disney World in a bubble and the
team is from La, aren't they winning on the road?
Didn't you say that's the hardest part of basketball is
winning on the road.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
No, they were not. They were all living at the
resort in Orlando, the Disney resort. It wasn't technically in Orlando,
but it was in that area.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Yeah, but they're not.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Are we going to get? I mean, what do you
want me? It's a great point game, terrible point, it's
a terrible point. Change it You're you're just you're just
you're further improving. How Ben is just fill the crap
when it comes to this stop this is my greatest
is this take masterpiece, masterpiece, take theaters. That's that take.
It's the greatest take of all time. Wrong go away.
(22:15):
Let's go to a man who confidently predicted that the
Dallas Mavericks We're gonna win the championship and not the
team from his region. Disappointment to every man, woman, and
child in the state of Maine. Whoopee pie, Blair Blair,

Speaker 8 (23:57):
Okay, three shots that you not going to jill, but

Speaker 1 (24:04):
To get up, Blair, if I remember correctly when we
had the Mallard meet and greed in Boston and you were,
you know, you had your buddy drive you down, which
is very kind of him to do that.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
It was great to be now.

No, no, no, If I remember you, look, you shut up,
You shut up, you jackass. Listen to me. So if

Speaker 8 (25:01):
Yeah, let me explain the better part of this. I'm
walking down to go to the bar, and some guys
walking past me. Yea, my way of bleeping white boy.
I'm like, what, don't say anything, just walk anything that guy,

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I have a question from a from my fan. How
how is the Rocky Twins game a game? Of note, Diddy,
how is that a game of note?
Speaker 7 (25:57):
The Twins are doing pretty well, right, I'll think you're
not in a wild guards.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Playing the Rockies as a game of note? You know?
Oh tough. Is there a panel, an esteemed panel of
judges that decide what a game of note is? Uh?
Speaker 7 (26:11):
No, just want a panel of one, panel of one?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, okay, yeah, there's some people questioning the panel the decision.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
I'm just you know, you you like to you know,
prop up markets to twin cities is a big Ben
Maler show market.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Well yeah, we do, right, You want to, don't.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
You want to be a kind of those people you
suck up to the Kansas City people all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Well, the people in Kansas City are excited. They actually
want to hear the score of their team.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
I've never ever since they complained though they've like lost
every game.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It seems like, well that's fine, but they still are
happy they won. They beat you, they own you, and
they got you to give the royal score.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Well it's only because really they're playing the Yankees, if
I'm being honest about it.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
God, yeah, but you did a Rocky twin score?
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Why are you like? Why do you you wanted me
to give all the baseball scores the other night?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yes, I do, well. I think it's is you give
all the w NB scores, but you're tonight because there's
only one game. If there were two games, you would
have given two scores. If there were three games, would
have given three. Yesterday, I think you did, but one
you forgot. And then you got the batphone rang and
you got a call from from Alfred. The butler called
you up and said you screwed that up. Yeah. Hey,

Hello Tony in the Bay Area.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Tony, hey man, make the game music stop? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Okay, thank you? Ah very nice. Let's if we have
time for the fun fact, let's do a fun fact.
We do a fun fact. Fun fact? How bad are
the white size? I wish Mark was here so I
could bust his shops. The Chicago White Sox are so
bad that the Seattle Mariners, who have played seventy games,
(28:06):
they're ten games over five hundred, forty and thirty. The
Seattle Mariners could lose ninety plus every one of their games,
all the games left on their schedule. What is that?
That's they played seventies, so they have ninety two games left.
They could lose all ninety two games every game the
rest of the year. And we were told they would
have a higher winning percentage than the White Sox currently
(28:27):
have Put that in your five and smoke it. And
the White Sox at seventeen and fifty two, the worst
start in franchise history, tied for the seventh worst MLB
start of all time, one of which the nineteen eighty
two Twins came after nineteen thirty two. So really, in
(28:47):
the modern era, it's only them in the eighty two
Twins that are are that bad. Let's get over to
Eddie though right now, and we will puck with Eddie Garcy.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
Are they then?
Speaker 5 (28:59):
He's Stanley Cup final is through two games so far
between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers, the Panthers
winning the first two games on home ice. Game one
a three and nothing shut out behind goalie serg game
Lebrovski's thirty two saves, while Edmondson was zero for three
on the power play, and that went in their stars
Conor McDavid and Leandrey Saiddle obviously not getting any points
in the shoutout loss. Game two, the Panthers win it
(29:20):
four to one to take a two ozero series lead.
Evan Rodriguez with a pair of bowls, one of them
on the power play. That's stepped to streak of thirty
four straight power piece killed off by Edmondson and the
Oilers went zero for four on the power play, so
that oh for seven in the series, only one.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Shot on negative. Why are you so negative? Why can't
you be positive?
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Well, how do you turn a positive into going oh
for seven on the power play?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
They're due? That's stupid.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Florida is a plus seventeen through the first two games,
rus shots the first two games through the playoffs so far.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
That tells you what they have done, not what they're
going to do it.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
No, I don't know what they're going to do, so
I can only tell you what they have done.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I know what they're going to do relative of Domin.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
By the way, No he was, Yes he was.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
You're you're a hater. Ready, go look at it.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Look up the history of Nora coming.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
In Anti no stra damists a wacko. No one's respecting
their time and it's only after they die their respect.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
So Florida is a plus seventeen in the third period
so far this postseason and a plus four so far
in the series. So that means they're the better team
as the game goes on and that will probably continue.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Edmondson one one game going to the third curd the
last game. Oh, it was such a one at the
end of the game.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Game it does not Actually final score actually does matter.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
That's a weird one.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Bound to the off the Zamboni, so teams that have
had a two oero series lead fifty four and five in.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
The history of the Stanley.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Cup Final and again game three tonight in Edmonton as
the Oilers. Basically, if they don't win, it's just like
the Celtics, it's the series is over. NHL Commissioner Gary
Bedman healthy State of the League address ahead of the
opening game, with the final.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Love that that's very.
Speaker 7 (31:00):

Speaker 5 (31:02):
Well, of course, the salary cap going up next season
to eighty eight million dollars. They're not gonna have an
All Star Game next year. They're gonna have a new
thing called the Four Nations Tournament. US US, Canada, Finland,
and Sweden will be competing in a round robin tournament.

of twenty.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Twenty five, and we have that it's called the Olympics.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
You moron, Well, because a're only four years and they
don't control the Olympics this they make all the money
from this event, which is why they.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Want to I'm not supporting that, Eddie. As a hockey purist,
I go back to the original six Eddie. I don't see.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Yeah, four games in Montreal and then the Metal Round
Games I guess you want to call them, will.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Be in Boston.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Bettman also declining to offer a timeline on the future
of NHL expansion.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
It's coming soon, don't worry about that.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Where are they going. They're going to Houston, back to
Phoenix maybe, yeah, probably most likely. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
There is talk of the Florida Panthers hosting an outdoor
game at the home of the Miami Barlans next season.
The Panthers and the Coyotes slash Utah team, the only
teams have yet done have yet to participate in an
NHL outdoor game. Jim Nill of the Dallas Stars named
Your General Manager of the Year for a second time,

Speaker 7 (32:31):
Here we got.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
NHL unveiled something new for the Stanley Cup final.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
They did a broadcast in American sign language, which got
a lot of praise for people.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah anyone, did anyone hear it?
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Is?
Speaker 7 (32:45):
No, here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
I get if they want to have that for like
a pregame show in between periods kind of a thing.
But do they need to do play by play? Can't
you watch the game? I mean an if you're watching
the silent language, do you know what they are?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
You an option?
Speaker 5 (33:02):
You have a closed caption already, I don't. I mean,
it's one of those things. I think they they're looking
for pats on the back, and they probably got them.
But is it really necessary to do play like language?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
That's like that's virtue of singling. It's like, you know,
that's what that is. It's like, oh, we're better people.
You know, it's okay, you're wonderful. Congratulations, you know, way
to go.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Obviously I do have my hearing. But if I didn't,
I think I just watched what was happening. I don't
think I need anyone to explain it to me.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Anyway.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
That is your Pucker World report.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
