Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three. As we bring
the sledgehammer, talking Bays ball, and as we bring the sledgehammer,
interesting story here, Major League Baseball is leaving the door open,
actually more than leaving the door open to have a
regular scheduled neutral site World Series. That means if you're

(00:21):
a Red Sox fan and your team gets to the
World Series and the games aren't scheduled for Boston that year,
no World Series games at Fenway Park, Sam goes for
Yankee Stadium or Wrigley Field. How does this compute with you?
I'll explain all the information you need to know. Also,
the NHL's newest outpost will be called the Utah Hockey.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Club, at least as a temporary name.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Your thoughts on that and no Maverick players stuck around
for the open portion of Thursday's NBA Finals practice. What
does this tell you about the mindset of Luka Dancika's team.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is is our number three, manipulating a staple of

(01:07):
Americana when it comes to sports. Welcome, in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
We are in the air everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Peyton the black as we are stuck in audio gridlock
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
mast and unrealistically powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from
the mouth as we lit our mouth through the talking.

(01:40):
We're broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot com studios.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Tyraq dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
We'll help you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I think my wife has heard this commercial ten thousand times.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Tiraq dot com, and I love everyone, So does tire
rack dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
The way tire buying show me in our lead this hour.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
From baseball, we'll get back to the ridonculous contract that
Trevor Lawrence has agreed to with the Jacksonville football team.
We'll get back to that coming up in a little bit.
We'll start out in sin City. If you missed the
big announcement. If you missed the big announcement, Man, is
this exciting, big deal? Uh slug boots on the ground

(02:30):
in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
He came on. He let us know it's happening.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
The Mallard Meet and Greet Sin City the August third,
three o'clock till five o'clock at the Stakeout Bar and Grill.
They're right near UNLV and I'll be there, Coop will
be there, Lorena and Eddie if his wife allows him,
we'll be there as well, and we'll have a grand time,
and I'll put all that up we need do we

(02:56):
all need? You just need a new out there? I
don't need a new I think I'm good. What kind
of outfit? We think we should all wear the same outfit?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I think we should be fancy, like just like Elvis
suits and ties, suits and ties. Oh my right. Anyway,
so that's coming up.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
But we'll go to Sin City right now, and I'll
put that stuff on the social media pages of the
show on Instagram, on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's already on on X which used to be Twitter,
so all of it will be available. But if you want,
if you're not on X, and a lot.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Of people you know not on X and you guys
use X all the time, and I don't like to
use X, Okay, I got it. But we are on also,
and I'm gonna post some more stuff as we on
the weekends. I usually post more on Instagram and on
the Facebook page. Instagram, it's Ben Mahler on Fox.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
The Facebook show page is Ben Mahlor Ben Maller. Fix.
I think it's both. No, No, it's Ben. Is it
both the same? No? No, it's Ben Mallor's show on Facebook.
That's right.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, yeah, I got three different names for all that.
I mean, it's so stupid, but I have different names
for all of them all right. But anyway, starting Vegas,
that is where the Majorly Baseball inner circle has let
the cat out of the bag. As the saying goes, now,
it involves the future of the Athletics franchise, the nomads
of baseball. Now we realize this is their last year

(04:14):
in Oakland. They're going to be moving to Sacramento for
a couple of years, and then eventually final destination until
they move again will be in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
So if you didn't hear about this, maybe not, But
we learned.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Because of the Athletics moving to Vegas, there's some language
in this non relocation agreement between Vegas and the city
in southern Nevada. There they put some safeguards in the
Athletics did in the event that Major League Baseball chooses
to dramatically alter the playoff format. Say what, Yeah, there's

(04:50):
a section that leaves a rather large loophole. The size
of the Grand Canyon for teams to play playoff gives
not just the World Series, but playoff games at a
neutral venue.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Say what, So, let.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Us discuss the question major League Baseball leaving the door
wide open, wide open for a neutral site World Series.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
How does this compute.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
With you?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
So I'll go first.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
And then you, as the esteemed panel of judges, can
decide how I did. But I've got the puppet master,
Sherwin Williams and senior itis, senior itis, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make triple Lemons. You know those old school slot machines,

(05:44):
and they had the fruit and they had lemons and
the cherries and all that. Yeah, yeah, triple. Back in
the day, triple lemons was pretty good. I think cherries
was the top one. And then they had the sevens.
They had that on there as well, but number W.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
All right, stop. So to answer the question, how does
this compute?

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Baseball in legal papers announcing they have the right to
take away playoff games from the hometown team and play
them in a neutral location. So my first thought is
it's counterintuitive. That was my first thought, because we've seen
this play before. I know how the play goes. During

(06:29):
the pandemic. In twenty twenty, hardest World Series of all time,
Dodgers won that greatest World Series win of all time,
and baseball though that entire season. Rob Manford treated the
baseball season like a lab in Wuhan, China. He was
just experiencing or experimenting with some very dangerous things here

(06:49):
that could cause great harm. For example, the zombie runner.
Remember the zombie Runner.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
It's still there in the regular a zombie runner. Where
did he come from? I don't know. He's a zombie.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, neutral site playoff games, all that stuff. They had
the World Series in Arlington, no home field advantage.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
And it just leaves a bad taste. He said.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Okay, in twenty twenty, because of the pandemic, you're like, okay,
we'll do that.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Why not.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
However, reading what I have read and hearing what I
have heard, Rob Manford has every intention of making this
a reality.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Now how is he gonna roll it out? I don't know.
But the reason I truly believe.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
This is gonna happen. We did a monologue about this
probably ten years ago. Scott Boris, the super agent from
Newport Beach. Scott Boris the most powerful man in baseball.
He is the puppet master. He's the shadow commissioner of baseball.
About ten years ago, Scott Boris at the GM meetings
of the Winter Meetings, came out and said, listen, this

(07:56):
is what baseball should do. And he's laid it all out,
and it sounds like baseball is slowly coming around to it,
at least they want the option of doing it.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
And Boris is operating behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
He's the guy who's in charge of the hardball meritocracy
in many ways, and he has been preaching about this
for a long time. And the eye see the eyes
of the window to the soul, and the eyeballs are
wing ding for Scott Boris and Major League Baseball owners.
They're looking at dollar sign. It's a money play because

(08:35):
baseball knows all you.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Need to do.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Is convinced some sleazy political hacks to start bidding to
host the World Series. Because I don't know if you
know this, the Final Four, the super Bowl, the big
showcase events, the jewel events, they make a lot of money.
Cities and travel or whatever you're called the tourism boards.

(09:03):
They have budgets and they spend the money to bid
on events to bring them to your town. And so
baseball owners are like, well, Scott Borrows brings up a
good point here, we can start putting this up for
bid and we'll get We'll get Vegas to bid against Miami, La.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh bid.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Maybe Phoenix gets in on this. How about Dallas, how
about San Francisco. We'll get you get a bunch of
these places to bid and eventually we'll end up getting
millions and millions of dollars that will go back into
the game of taxpayer money. And Scott Borrows his vision
is this is going to be like a baseball carnival where.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
They're gonna have a like like the NFL.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
And I had not gone to the Super Bowl until
like three years ago. I've been to the last three
just to the media stuff at the Super Bowl because
it was in LA and then we went on in
Phoenix and it was in Vegas this past year, and
so I've been to the last three and.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
It's it's a to do, right.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's essentially the NFL builds a giant, giant store and
then they have a few things you can look at,
but mostly the biggest part of it is the store
so they can sell you the Super Bowl merchandise. Now,
page two, we go to Hockey Update Update the date
line from the b State the Beehive State that we

(10:22):
learned that the Salt Lake City franchise that will come
to fruition this next hockey season will be known for now,
for now as the Utah Hockey Club. It was officially
announced the NHL's newest outpost will use the moniker Utah

(10:44):
Hockey Club as a temporary name. What are your thoughts
on this? So this is clearly a band aid situation.
It's a band aid situation. The owners in hockey decide
we got to come up with an We don't have
enough time to get everything settled. And the people that
own the team in Utah, the guy that owns the

(11:05):
Utah Jazz, he went down to Sherwin Williams and he
bought some light blue gloss and he painted over, painted
over the uniforms and the you know, put this kind
of you know, sloppy logo together and he's doing this
until the trademark issues are worked out.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
It's a stopgap.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
The jerseys will simply say Utah across the chest, and
that'll be on the front, and then the team's colors
are going to be I love how they say. It's
not just black, it's rock black that represents the darkness
of night in the mountains and the volcanic rock of
Utah's desert.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
And they don't just have white in the color.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
It's salt white, which illustrates both the snow of Utah's
peaks and famous salt flats.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
And then they have blue. But it's not just blue.
It's mountain blue, because why would it just be blue.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
It's gotta be mountain blue, which represents the team's winter
sports history and the clear sky for two hundred and
thirty days of the year. How much do you think
they paid for some high falute and pr company to
come up with that bull crap?

Speaker 2 (12:11):
A lot?

Speaker 1 (12:11):
The answer is a lot. I don't know, but the
answer is a lot. Now here's the stat that.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Blew me away.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Training camp for.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Next season starts in less than one hundred days. We
haven't even crowned the champion. No one's hoisted Lord Stanley
Cup in the air everywhere yet. And once the Oilers
come back and they'll be the ones doing it. It's
gonna take a while for that to happen because they
gotta win the next four games.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
But the official names still under contention.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Are the Mammoth's that's on the big board, the Outlaws,
the Blizzard, the Venom, Utah Hockey Club, which they're using
this year, and.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
The Yeti. The Yeti it's still alive.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Nay will be chosen prior to the twenty twenty five
twenty six seasons.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Here's my concern.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
I got this worry that if and there's supposed to
be a bad team. They were bad in Arizona, the
Utah Hockey Team's gonna stink. But if somehow they turned
out to be halfway decent, I'm worried that the people
that vote are going to say, well, we.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Can't change the name. We got a good team, so
we're gonna have to call the Utah Hockey Team. No,
the Utah Hockey Club. You can't know.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Don't do that, don't fall for that trap, don't be
a prisoner of the moment, do not do it. All right,
final point to the n b A and tonight the
finals continue be an elimination situation. It's the last supper
for Kyrie and the Dallas basketball team. But I bring

(13:48):
this up because I saw this and it caught my attention.
Not a single mav wreck player, not a single player
stuck around for the open portion, the open portion of
Thursday's NBA Finals practice when the media was allowed in.
What does this tell you about the mindset of Luka

(14:09):
Dancika's team in Dallas.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
So this is symbolic, is the word I will use.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
It's symbolic because Dallas, they are talking the talk, at
least Luca was it ain't over till it's over.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
But they're not walking the walk they're going.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
They're going when you know you know, right, Lana del Ray,
when you know you know that they're suffering the Dallas
Mavericks from senioritis. Remember back in high school, when you
get close to the end of the year, you start
slacking off, and in this case, they're slacking off during
the end of the series. They've decided their fate is signed,
sealed and almost delivered, and so they're in that zone

(14:49):
out mode of senioritis. They're on autopilot and their mindset
is one of acceptance that the Celtics are going to win.
They're just better and I certainly wouldn't harrassed myself by
staying around and allowing the media to interview me when
this is embarrassing because the Dallas Mavericks are front runners.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's what they are. They're front runners. It is the
Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like to be part, you

here is the Mallor Riddle of the day. Travis Kelcey.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
I'm told that's a football player, but he's really just
known as the Swifties number one man, first man of
the Swifties right for now.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
They're not married, but he's number one Swifty.

Speaker 1 (15:44):

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yes, okay, well you were so overwhelmed with emotion, knowing
that we had the Malor meet and greet that that

Speaker 7 (18:23):
I'm seriously so distracted because I'm trying to figure out
my outfit. We're stuck between a pants suit, sweat pants
and a dress.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh oh okay, now I am thinking I'll wear clothes.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
That's what I'm thinking. I'm sorry, I will wear clothes.
And so that's maybe your Boston hat. Yeah, I'll probably
wear that. That's usually where I wear. I wear. I
wear some kind of some kind of hat.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (18:49):

more like a shiny one, one that has like a
metallic finish on it.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
I have one that has the logos kind of shiny.

Speaker 8 (19:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
I saw a photo of Eddie from ten years ago.
I forgot Eddie you were a gray Beard. I didn't
remember that. I know you're the beard you're playing your
playoff beard. Yeah, that was your playoff beard. Yeah, I'd
totally forgotten, and I was I was around you at
that game.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Right, we were, Yeah, we were on the ice together.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think I took the photo
of you because somebody was laying on their back on
the ice when they took the photo.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
It looks like it was a unique angle. You wanted
to get the scoreboard that was overhead and when we
were on the ice.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Not a great angle though, right, I mean we all
know that we all look a lot skinnier when we
look from above down right, Well.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
I mean, like I said, wanted to get the scoreboard
that said Stanley Cup Champions on it.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
So okay, and you did that. You did that, And
I have some photos. I have a few photos with
the Stanley.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
I actually have one of you, and that's with that
same angle.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh I don't want to see that.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Oh I could post it if you like.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Okay, I'm probably good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
I think I still had hair at that point, though
I think I had a little hair left. Anyway, here's
the malor riddle of the day. Here we go, Travis Kelce.

A Russian wife guessed by Donkey Sausage Malard prop guy

alf the alien opiner says an Asian restaurant chain. Well,

(21:17):
that would be quite the restaurant. Imagine what their logo
looks like on the T shirts there that they sell.
Fudgie in Boston is going with the answer some kind
of sex swing as the answer.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I'm sure that's the case.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Milkman Mike in Colorado says Travis Kelsey wants to buy
a Mercedes Benz sprinter van to live.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Down by the river.

Speaker 1 (21:37):

will give one away again.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Who else do we have?

Speaker 1 (21:42):
World's largest raspberry thing? That was Mallard prop guy. I
think I already read that. He sent it twice.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Travis Kelsey wants to buy a train.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
With his mother and painted in honor of the birthday
boy President Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (21:54):

Right?

Speaker 2 (23:18):
How much is a when you weren't born there, but
you go there? You've been there a few times, right,
but I've been there once? Only ones? How much would
a vineyard cost in Italy? I have no idea, You
have no idea? Okay? Is it outrageous? I wonder? I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Is there like a website? He probably is, you can
buy a vineyard. Travis Kelsey's net worth is like thirty million,
but the woman he's sleeping with is worth a lot
more than that. So if he gets married, he's probably
in good shape. He's probably in pretty really good shape.
All right, let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
to David who's in Vegas. Hello, David, welcome, real quick
before we go to David.

Speaker 8 (23:55):
Okay, Yes, I just did some some quick some quick research.

Okay, and it varies largely.

Speaker 8 (24:01):
The cheapest one I found on this website was one
point one million euros.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Okay, And we do the math on that.

Speaker 1 (24:14):

million euros, that is one point one seven US dollars
according to the internet research that I have.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
All Right, I will so thing.

Speaker 1 (24:28):

Speaker 1 (26:10):
He was gonna say something but I cut him off.
Well he stopped, But that's cool. Did we pick this

Speaker 1 (26:56):
You're You're so offended by a joke at a at

Speaker 2 (27:01):
That's ridiculous. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Anyway, we will have
big bands. I'm not making that up. By the way,
that's a legit tabloid story. Whether it's true or not,
who knows, it's in the tabloids.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
But we'll press on. We will have big bands. Lame
jokes of the week.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
We'll get to. That is weed Man online. Coop Coop's busy,
I guess, but let me know if weed man's there.
If not, I'll give him a bus checking right now.
Oh oh, he's coops checking right now? All right, Well,

give him a buzz see if he's there. But right now,
let's get you cut up on everything going on in
the overnight, and we say hello to a man at
one point had a playoff Beard Eddie Garcia.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
A glorious playoff here twice actually championship playoff. Yeah, twenty
twelve and twenty fourth. Did you know that yesterday was

your Los Angeles Kings.

Speaker 1 (27:59):

Speaker 3 (28:20):
I know that you are not happy that I have
to give Tiger Woods results no matter what.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
He's not relevant right now, and so I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Well, the PGA Tour bored Policy Board would disagree with you.
They are voting next week on a proposal that would
give Tiger Woods a lifetime exemption to signature events on
the PGA Tour. So anything basically he wants to play in,
he can play in it.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Well, that's a loyalty thing because he didn't join the
Saudis like everyone else that took the Saudi money. But
didn't the PGA make a deal with the Saudis. So
aren't they part of that too? What happened though, I
didn't hear anything more on that.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
What happened to it? They had a rest.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
If you ask me, mister pg toy, you're.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
The w NBA guy, you're the golf.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
You're all right, you want to have some fun fun fact.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
This is not the fun for me.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
But there is only one pitcher, one pitcher this season
that has struck out Mookie Betts, shohe Otani, and Freddie
Freeman in order one, two, and three. Do you know
who that picture is, Eddie, No, you don't know who
that picture is. That picture is David Robertson of the

(29:39):
Texas Rangers, who did it the last couple of games,
back to back and belly to belly. David Robertson, who's
bounced around big League Baseball. But that's a nice feather
in his cap, which means absolutely nothing if the Rangers
and Dodgers meet down the line in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
But that's nonetheless, that's it. That's a fun fact.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
The only pitcher of this season to strike out the
three Hall of Fame players Mookie Bett, show heyl Tani
and Freddie Freeman.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
David Robertson.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
I'll call him.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Maybe somebody stole his phone again.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
I'll give Hi a buzz, and then we'll have for
the rest of the hour whether he's whether he's there
or not, We'll have Big Bend's lame Jokes of the
