Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome. It's our number three. As we get
down to bedrock here in our number three, we're gonna
go congressional. There's a story bouncing around that a group
of owners would like to have a quarterback salary cap,
so you'd have the team salary cap, but you'd have
a cap just for quarterbacks. So we're gonna go congressional

(00:22):
quarterback salary cap in the NFL. Yay or nay. We'll
discuss that. Also, how much stalk do you put into reports?
The Cowboys are not very far along in contract talks
with Dak Prescott, Cedee Lamb, and Micah Parsons. None of
them are close to getting a deal. We'll talk about that.
And why are the Cleveland Browns and wide receiver Amari

(00:45):
Cooper struggling to agree to the length of their contract extension.
They're at loggerheads. We'll go there as well. All of
it's coming your way right now here. It is our
number three.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Just put a cap on it. Just put a cap
on it. That's it. Welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malors Show, we are in the a.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Evwhares we shoot the crap and try not to lose
our marbles coast to coast, border the border in beyond,
on the mass and resoundingly powerful microphones of FSR emmnating

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Tyraq dot com the way tire buying shoes be in
our lead this hour, pay HiT's my man play this.
I will play this with its.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
The cap is crap said that for a long time now.
It's never a good idea to spend too much time
talking about a salary cap unless warranted, and it is warranted.
We're about a month away from training camp starting up
in the NFL and there is scuttle but chatter about
what could be a dramatic change to the way NFL

(02:26):
teams do business. It involves the quarterback position. No, if
you didn't see this, maybe not. Everyone's been getting paid.
Jared Goff got a ton of money, and Trevor Lawrence,
though his contract with the Jacksonville football team, has sent
a group of owners to get therapy and meds. They

(02:48):
need to be drugged here there. Things are not going
well as a result as a result of that Trevor
Lawrence contract. We are hearing there has been discussion within
league circles among some of the more scrooge scrooge like
owners about the idea of a quarterback cap.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
They explain this to you like you're five years old.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
So the quarterback would have its own salarycap as opposed
to the rest of the team, which will have a
separate salary cap. As I understand it, and the reason
these tightwad NFL owners do not do not Some of
them do not want the quarterback numbers to continue to
go up, up and away the inflation. They're annoyed by

(03:36):
the inflation and they want to put the kebash on
what's been going on with all these quarterbacks getting ridiculous money.
At this point, we are hearing that it hasn't gone anywhere. Nevertheless,
the seed has been planted.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
And are there enough small mid market owners to outvote
the big money teams, because that's what it comes down to.
Jerry Jones would.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Never put up with anything like this, and there's certain
owners that have a lot of money like to spend it,
like to pump their chest out about how they spend
their money, and they would never never go down that road.
But let us discuss the question as the seed has
been planted here. The question is this, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna go congressional. All right, I'm gonna go back
when in Congress you're now a member of Congress. Congratulations,

(04:25):
you get to pill for money for the American people.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Good for you. So let's go congressional.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
The quarterback salarycap in the NFL, yay or nay. So
I've got the Golden Rule, paperback and downstream.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
On this one. We'll combine all of these things together
and we are going to make a fool's delight, is
what we're going to make.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
So my first thought is, I'm a nay. If you
thought I was a yay, I'm a nay. I'm a
NA on this.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I think this is dumb, d dumb, dumb dumb.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
That's my position as a proud capitalist, not a successful one,
but a proud capitalist. I don't believe in limiting salaries.
I've been anti salary cap for a long time, and
just like I don't believe in limiting revenues big companies
can make either. If you're successful at business and you
make a lot of money, good for you. We should
want more people to be successful and make a lot

(05:20):
of money. But this is not about the business side,
but it is in many ways because generations of fans.
Generations of fans have been brainwashed into believing the only
way is this poppycock salary cap. That is the only
way to Shangri laf. The only way to Casablanca is
to have the salary cap. Otherwise we can't compete. It's impossible.

(05:43):
But my position is pretty simple. If a team can
afford to pay as much as they want for a quarterback,
why shouldn't they be able.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
To do that?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Why not? Who would about the other teams? Okay, but
the cornerstone of capitalism, I believe, is to if you
have the money and you want to pay the money,
and the person wants the money, you pay them the money.
That's it. And if a team wants to pay a
quarterback one hundred million dollars a year, and I think
I'll live long enough to see that, I think it's
about like two.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Years from now, one hundred million dollars a year. Then
why should that player not get the money if an
owner is dumb enough to pay that player of the money, Okay,
they get the money. So I'm against the salary cap
in general. So the idea of adding a second layer
of bureaucracy a quarterback salary cap, is silly. Now, at

(06:35):
the same time, do I think Jared Goff should make
the level of money he's making or Trevor Lawrence? No,
absolutely not. Both these things are simultaneously true. The one
thing I do like and I'm not a soccer guy,
so you might want to correct me on this, but
I believe I have this right. I watch soccer during
the World Cup. That's my experience with soccer because I'm
an evil American. But soccer, as I understand it, they

(06:58):
have the golden rule in soccer, and as it has
been explained to me over the years, and I think
they still have this, it's called the fair play regulation
or something along those lines. And from the way it
was told to me, it just means that there's no
salarycap or anything. But it just means that teams cannot
spend more than the organization is making. So let me

(07:21):
rephrase that to try to explain it more clear. So
a team cannot lose money, they have to balance the books.
They can't lose money because they're spending so much on
a certain play. So in the overall team expense has
become more important than all that. Shouldn't that be the
only rule that we have in American sports? I mean,
I know a lot of you like communism and all

(07:41):
that in your sports. You're fine with the communism in
your sports.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I don't like it. I think it's stupid.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
I think it's still. If businesses can't compete, then get out.
That's what happens in the real world. You don't run
a business and not successful, You close the business down.
That's it, and then other businesses will pop up and
there'll be other people the opportunity. All right now, page
do we go to Dallas? Why do we go to Dallas?
Because there's a story bounce around.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
And caught my attention. We'll get right to the chase here.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
How much stalk do you put in to reports that
the Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys are quote not very
far along close quote in contract talks with the CODA
Prescott C. D. Lamb and Micah Parsons, the Three Amigles,
the three Amigles.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
So how much stock? I put a lot of it.
I believe it.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I believe the report. I believe the report. Jerry Jones
was so enraged after that no show performance against the
Packers on wild Card weekend.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
He went on.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Glued, he went ungod. Remember he shut it down. He
didn't do his radio show, He's weekly radio show. He
never misses a chance to do that. He was that upset,
he missed an opportunity to get in front of a microphone.
You know, it's real. So I do get the vibe,
and my vibes are never wrong. I get the vibe that.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Jerry Jones.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Was so upset that his intention is to not pay
any of these guys. But the most important guy not
to pay is Dak Prescott, because that's the bane of
his existence. But if you read my paper book, and
it's the paperback book that I put out, it's a

(09:29):
long and short of it, right, it's called the Long
and Short. And you've got Jerry who wants to play
a long game and not cave to public pressure, which
is easier said than done. Right's easier said than done.
For the Prince of the party now. Right now, everyone
in the NFL is pretty much on vacation. Get the
vacation in soon. That's going to end because training camp

(09:50):
starts in about a month. But Jerry Jones needs to
be sequestered on his mega yacht in the waters off
the south of France with the satellite techn turned off.
Otherwise he's gonna flinch. Does anyone not think he's gonna flinch?
I think he's gonna flinch. I hope he doesn't. I
don't believe he will be able to do it. He'll

(10:10):
sign one of these guys by the time the regular
season comes around. My money is on Ceedee Lamb. I
think he'll be the one that gets paid out of
the three. It's there is a dimension in the multiverse
where all of them get paid. I don't see a
dimension where none of them get paid. I don't see
that all right, final point, we go to Cleveland?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Why why? Why? Why?

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Who goes on vacation of Cleveland? Well, the Brownies making
some news in the gossip mill of.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
The NFL, not about their quarterback.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
The question is when the Cleveland Browns are at Loggerheads
with a Mary Cooper and it's all about the length.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's a length thing.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
So why are the Cleveland Browns and a Mary Cooper
struggling to hammer out a contract extension based on the
amount of years on set contract extension? So I look
at this one like insurance. I look at this one
like insurance, and the Brownies are merely reading the charts.
They didn't read the charts on Deshaun Watson for some reason.

(11:16):
Now they're trying to act all grown up. They're like, Okay,
now we're gonna we're gonna break it there. The Brownies
are reading the charts. It's like when you sign up
for life insurance. They're they're betting you're going to die sooner.
You're betting that you're gonna live longer, right, You're it's gamble.
And the Browns are worried about downstream liability where it's

(11:42):
gonna be a problem, you know, down the line and
all that stuff. Mark Cooper just turned thirty, Happy birthday, Congratulations,
and you've now got cooties.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
In the NFL when you turn thirty as a wide.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Receiver, you're considered close to old geezer status around that
age plus Amari Cooper. The other thing about a Mark Coop,
And I admit this is by my problem more than
anyone else's. Probably I might be the only one that
thinks of this, But I watched him play a lot
with the Raiders back in the day, and I look
at a Mariy Cooper as a guy that is the

(12:13):
ultimate boomer bust player. That he'll go four or five
games and he'll have between thirty and fifty yards somewhere.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
In that area for most of those games, if.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Not all of them, and then he'll have a game
where he has one hundred and seventy or two hundred
yards receiving, and most casual people, the low information fan,
they only remember the big game. They forget all the
other mediocre performances. And when he had hands of Stone
was dropping passes right left and center and up and

(12:45):
down and all around back in the day. But it
is amusing to me that the Cleveland Browns, who showed
no restraint at all when it came to Deshaun Watson,
they just got buck naked with Deshaun right away, but
with Amari Cooper they're.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Like, God, I don't know about this guy, and it's like,
now that's the point. That's the point. They they're like, Okay,
now we're.

Speaker 1 (13:05):

Speaker 7 (15:27):
I've heard it's the best.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
It's right as good as all the rest. It's the
the best. It's right, you knew he couldn't.

Speaker 8 (15:34):
Resist say that?

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Am I wrong? Am I wrong?

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Once you learn that the best means as good as
everything else, and it doesn't it take the value of
the word best away, not really, it totally does.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
No. No, this is it's no. No. Legally, the term
best means.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
In advertising, in advertising. But we're not talking about advertising.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
No.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
No, you go to a restaurant, they're advertising the best sandwich.

Speaker 9 (15:58):
Yeah, but when we're talking about the best player. You
you use this in everything? Yes, it only applies to advertisement.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's everything.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
The term legal definition of the term best means as
good as everything in that category. So when you say
he's the best player, you mean he's the best. He's
as good as all the rest.

Speaker 8 (16:13):

Mallord riddle of the day. Former Big League skipper Buck
Showalter recently said that back in his day he was
hesitant to draft players with blank, players with blank. And

(16:51):
there are two acceptable answers for this. Will take either
one or both if you have them. And let's see,
does anyone know the answer to the malar of the
day page down? A glowpop from poly d was the answer.
Players who can't start a fire without matches? Who else

(17:12):
do we have? Players missing limbs guessed by ferg Dog
all right, players with fat heads from mister nice guy,
That is his answer. Three nipples from Fudgie. That's his
guest here. They couldn't have glasses or hair pieces from
Milkman Mike in Colorado, Alf the Alien o'piner says, players

(17:35):
that already have their own bobbleheads. He says a side note,
the unofficial malor meet and greet on August twenty eighth
at Dodger Stadium with Ben and Roberto.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Oh yeah, so they're given a bobblehead with Otani and
his dog. People are probably camping out.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Now there for that to calligan Tim in Michigan Wow, Tim,
you're going there, Tim.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Wow. Okay, thank you for that. Tim.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
I think I'll skip over that one. I think we're
all better with off that without did justin have you
write that?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Calligan? Tim Jackass.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Josh lives up to his nickname every time he calls randomly,
says Shane from Des Moines.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Bluck.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Showalter was hesitant draft players who did not like soft pretzels.
If you don't like soft pretzels, there's something terribly wrong
with you. You were raised inappropriately. I don't know anyone
that doesn't like a soft pretzel. That middle part of
the soft pretzel where the parts cross over.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Amazing, the twisty part, the twisty.

Speaker 7 (18:33):
Have you had a cream cheese filled pretzel?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Oh that sounds great. God, it's so good.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
You make the most.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
You look disgusted, because I've been to the Holy Land
of the Pretzel, Philadelphia. That's where the soft modern America.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's also the Holy Land of cream Cheese.

Speaker 8 (18:50):
Philadelphia.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
I had the pretzel there and they didn't have cream cheese,
and I like the pretzel.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
That what about what about like cinnamon shower soft pretzels like.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
I've had the like wetzel pretzel or whatever one of
the y Mark in Santa Monica, says Buck Schulz was
hesitant to take players with bad locker room etiquette. He
says dysentery from donkeys, sausage, fat girl Friend, I like
the sausage guessed by Ike and Rosevio Minnesota, webbed feet,

(19:24):
players with web feet from Rob in Minnesota, Matt the
Warrior Raider Fancis. Buck Showalter was hesitant to draft players
with Twitch accounts.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Bro, I ain't playing unless I get mine. I'm risking ilight, bro.
All right, what else? We have?

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Players that eat pickles guessed by the clam Players with
batting averages over two hundred from sticky Uh, page down,
page down?

Speaker 2 (19:53):
All right, Eddie, you have an answer? Do you have
an answer?

Speaker 8 (19:56):
Is it? Players who went to college.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Players that want they got?

Speaker 4 (19:59):
No?

Speaker 2 (20:00):
It is incorrect.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Buck show Walter recently said that he was hesitant to
draft players with facial hair and pancake butts.

Speaker 8 (20:14):
He likes big booties.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Now, there's a thing in the scouting community in all
sports that if you do not have a round dairy air,
that you're not going to be a good athlete. He's
got the cleanest ass, Like if you have a flat ass.
You know, forget the flat earth. The flat ass is
a real thing. Eddie is a problem. The flat ass
is a problem in sports.

Speaker 8 (20:34):
Apparently I'm a great athlete.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Then, but dunk a dounk people people do not like
the if you do not have a big but dunka.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Donk, it's a problem.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
It's gotta be double seafed.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, it's gotta be like you're one of the Kardashians.
You just gotta go, you gotta go for it.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
And yeah, so that that the facial hair thing, I
think is some kind of weird glitch from his days
with the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Think about scouts. You're out there scouting and you're like,
all right, let's see this guy's rump. All right, he
can play. All right, that guy can be draft. We'll
draft that guy right there. He's got good took us.
Come on, all right, let's go to the phones. We'll
go to Dallas. Man who is getting ready for the
Mavericks Championship parade right now, he'll be salsa dancing at
that parade, And of course that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Salsa in Dallas. Hello is salsa?

Speaker 10 (21:25):
Good evening, gentlemen and Lorena.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Hello.

Speaker 10 (21:29):
Then you know I didn't call up and taunt you
about the Clippers laws. You do owe me a pizza,
so I will be collecting. Actually I was supposed to
be out there yesterday, but I caught COVID last week,
so I had to call out sick and counsel my trips.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
All right, well, y let us know, give us a
little advance morning and we'll work.

Speaker 10 (21:51):
In aviation, there's no such no advance.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
You don't have your schedule. You don't know your schedule.
You just show up to the airport.

Speaker 10 (21:57):
But it changes, it changes, So I'll be Actually I
just changed my skeedters the night and I'll be there
Friday night. So you will be at work.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Well, i'll be. I'll be working. I just will not
be working on the radio.

Speaker 10 (22:08):
I'll be correct. Hey, Ben, with God talking trash about Dallas,
it's something you don't know about me. I was in
the military. I think I told you that. But I
lived and I was based in Rhode Island for three years,
and I had many opportunities, spent many nights in Boston
and all over New England. That place is old, it's trash,

(22:28):
it's things I just I'm not staying in Boston. I
wanted the Celtics to win because I like Tatum and Brown.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
I thought you wanted the Mavericks to win, and he
wanted the Celtics to wins. Well, I'm confused. I'm confused
by you.

Speaker 10 (22:44):
Boston was the better team, so they're the better teams.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
You always pull for them. When the Dodgers in the
World Series, you're gonna pull for the Dodgers, so they.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Have the better team.

Speaker 10 (22:52):
Absolutely, I love the Dodge.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
All right, well, good for you.

Speaker 10 (22:55):
Blood Dodge. But Boston sucks. Everybody is moving to Dallas.
Nobody's moving to New England. Maybe they go there to
get their education, but then they bounce. They don't want
to stay there. Who wants to be there in the
winter time dragging around in snow and I you know,
you got to do all that crazy.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Boston's great. For four months of the year, it's wonderful.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
But the other exactly another eight months a little problem,
but yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
It is amusing.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
The weather is actually pretty good in Boston now, I
guess they're under the heat Dome and all the players
on the Celtics Ski daddled to Miami they got out of.

Speaker 10 (23:24):
There exactly, exactly exactly. That's my point. That's my point.
So he can keep that trash about Dallas and keep
still there. And has Scott ever left New England? By
the way, he probably hasn't even left Boston.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, I don't know. I I'm pretty sure that he's
only stayed there. I don't think he travels much.

Speaker 10 (23:42):
Yeah, he needs to get out of there. I'm gonna
go ahead and ask my question for Lorena.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
You're starting early with Theraina. Okay, it's a preview what's
to come, a preview of coming?

Speaker 10 (23:52):
Hey, well why why wait? When I got on the
phone out so I have a problem with my lady.
She's gonna come increasingly jealous. I tried everything I can
to make her feel secure, But you have any thoughts
at all of what I can do?

Speaker 7 (24:07):
Well, do you know what's caused her jealousy?

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Remember last time he called Lorana, he was dancing.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
She was jealous of his dancing because he goes out
there and he shakes his caboose on the dance floor
and that upsets lady.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
For you just got to go.

Speaker 11 (24:18):
Above and beyond, you know, make sure that you she
knows that you're the only one for her, you know.
Make her know that she's loved. That's all you got
to do. Make her feel confident and secure. Are you
doing that?

Speaker 10 (24:30):
I am doing that. She knows I love her.

Speaker 7 (24:33):
I'll keep you.

Speaker 10 (24:34):
I'll try more.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
Yeah, bring her home some socks, like some fuzzy socks. Maybe.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
If that doesn't work, just hand her money.

Speaker 10 (24:40):
Yeah, good idea. I'll go with money next.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Okay, Yeah, when in doubt, throw money out. That solves
most problems and creates other problems. So Lorna shaking her head. Yes, though,
by the way, she said, proves the money. Yeah, all right,
thank you, Solsa. We'll see you soon. There you go, salsa.
What kind of pizza am I going to buy him?

Speaker 6 (25:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
But I liked Boston.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, I like Boston too. I love Boston.

Speaker 8 (25:07):
I've never been. It's on the list.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Have you not been to Boston anything?

Speaker 8 (25:11):
I just went to New York for the first time
last this past.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
You're bizarre. You do a lot of bizarre things. You
know that. I don't think so you do.

Speaker 8 (25:18):
I'm not digging dateon where I've never less than I
left the state.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
A lot of weird quirks about you.

Speaker 8 (25:22):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
There are there many like the whole You travel every year,
you've been how long you've been married? Now, how many years?

Speaker 8 (25:30):
I think it's coming up on fifteen fifteen years.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
And you were through your wife before. I sure you
were together. And you travel every year to an NFL game,
the Chargers playing on the road, and you've never made
it to Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
That blows me away.

Speaker 8 (25:43):
I don't. I don't understand how that blows you away,
because I don't decide, for the most part where we go.
I mean, I have some input on it. But if
she doesn't want to go to a place to Pittsburg,
we're not going. Yes, we're going to Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
So you had no input on that, of course I did, okay.

Speaker 8 (25:57):
But if she doesn't want to go to a place,
I'm not going to force her to go to a
place Kansas City barbecue.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I understand.

Speaker 8 (26:02):
I would loved I would go.

Speaker 7 (26:04):
Don't they have tornadoes there?

Speaker 8 (26:07):
I don't think it's I don't think it's the tornadoes
that we're avoiding. She just doesn't. She doesn't like the
Chiefs and she doesn't want to be around those fans.
So that's her, that's her thing.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
That's an iconic stadium. It's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
They're gonna be leaving Arrowhead and move to Kansas. Have
been to Denver? Did you go to Oakland for the
Raiders and Chargers? No? So you just avoid all the
AFC West.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Have you been to? Well you went to Vegas.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
But that was not for the Chargers though, right, that
was correct. That was for the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 8 (26:38):
Yeah. She she hates all the AFC West teams, so
she doesn't want to be around their fans, which I understand.
I don't think that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
It seems a lot to me, that's all I mean,
it seems a weird.

Speaker 8 (26:47):
Yeah, I don't think it's weird. But I would go
to Denver. I would go to Kansas City too, but
she doesn't want to go. I can't force her to go.
I'm not gonna deal about it.

Speaker 12 (26:55):
This is this is why Ben because typically, you know,
the Chargers suck, so she doesn't want to lose in
the you know, the home arena of like the hated rival.

Speaker 8 (27:06):
That is very true, all right. I will say this.
We have the record of the Chargers when we go
see him on the road is like nine hundred.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Well, the other thing about the Chargers is they don't
just lose like they get blown out. They have the
lead for three and a half quarters and then give
it up with five minutes to go in the game.
That's how the Charges normally lose, or the final minute
of the game. That's Charger football.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
All right, no fun fact, because we went long hearing
Eddie's travel story. Here we go.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
It's another Ben Maller game.

Speaker 8 (27:39):
We've endored too many of these.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Hazy too much or not enough enough. Already, get to
the game. We walk him in. Sirius Sean from Arizona. Hello,
Siria Sean.

Speaker 10 (27:52):
Ah who Eddi? Hi Sean, Hi Eddie.

Speaker 8 (28:00):
It really annoys Ben when you do that, So please
keep doing that.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Really yeah, really, he's speechless right now.

Speaker 6 (28:14):
He's why I wonder why I never say something to him?

Speaker 8 (28:21):
Play the game, Play the game.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
He doesn't acknowledged me. I'm not gonna play the Game's
say my name, Ben?

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Are you gonna play the game?

Speaker 1 (28:31):
That's not polite, Be polite. Kiss the ring, Kiss the ring.
All right, We'll play me, all right. Question number one
the Doyers. The Dodgers are the third team in history
to hit a Grand Slam and a three run homer
while trailing in the ninth inning or later in the
same game.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 6 (28:56):
Not enough?

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Maybe if you'd said my name first, you would have
gotten that right, but you got it wrong. That's because
you're an Eddie fan.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Too much. They are the first team ever to do it.
Question number two. Jason Tatum is the fourth player ever
to have thirty plus points and ten plus assists in
an NBA Finals clinching win.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Is that too much or not enough? Too much? Okay,
let's find out you're over for two?

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Shock him?

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Man? Are you bettert It's not enough?

Speaker 1 (29:31):
He is the fifth player to accomplish that, joining Steph Curry,
Michael Jordan, James Worthy, and Walt Fraser. Would you like
to quit now or do you want to get swept
to her?

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Sean, No, I'm gonna I'm gonna keep going because that
he's not my team and we're gonna win.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
How's that working out for you?

Speaker 10 (29:50):
I think it's going great.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Question three, Willie Mays, You know who that is Seawan
Willie Mays.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
Not so?

Speaker 4 (30:01):
I heard it in the news earlier today.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
No oh, he was pretty good baseball player.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Willie Mays has the most gold gloves ever by a
center fielder, with ten.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Is that too much or not enough? This is to
stay alive.

Speaker 10 (30:22):
I'm gonna say that too much.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Why oh, you got swept?

Speaker 9 (30:28):
Dad?

Speaker 2 (30:28):
How's that taste? How's that taste? Sean? You got swept?
Doing your buddy ed he got swept? You're a loser.
The answer is not enough. Willie May has had twelve
Gold Glove awards. How embarrassing, Mike. I think that's the
single most embarrassing performance on a game show this year. Sean,
I think you could win the Benny Award for Worst

(30:48):
Game show contestant.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Congratulations Sean, Yay who.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I will be? Betty?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
I said, though, Sean, you were so bad you saved
the clock. You were so terrible that you you saved
the clock, And for that I am grateful.

Speaker 6 (31:10):
And does I mean I get a ticket to nowhere?

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Not only do you get a round trip ticket to nowhere,
you get a lifetime supply of nothing. So when you
want nothing, and I do mean nothing. The Ben Malors
Show will send you nothing. Maybe Eddie will send you stuff,
but I'm sending you nothing.

get ten hours?

Speaker 11 (33:43):
I was left from seven to noon, and then from
one to four, and then from seven thirty to nine thirty.

Speaker 7 (33:52):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
That is a lot of sleep.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah, all right, I forty In says should a guy
be appreciative if their girl has a boudoir as I say,
bou d o, I R boudoir, boudoir budir a portrait
done for them, or be upset that someone other than
them saw the goods.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Asking for a friend.

Speaker 11 (34:15):
Oh my gosh, if your woman gets a budoir shoot done,
just know you know it's where they're like sexy photos.
They can be half naked, they can be fully naked,
they can be in lingerie.

Speaker 7 (34:25):
So porn kind of, but it's it's more empowering. So
it's supposed touring.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah a lot, well, so.

Speaker 7 (34:32):
A lot of women.

Speaker 11 (34:32):
They don't show it to everyone, obviously, they keep it
for themselves, but one day when they're old and wrinkly,
they want to look back and be like, look at
what a piece I was. So I think you should
be thankful that your woman is sexy enough to be
able to do something like that.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
King Roy writes, this is my wife and I were
invited to a social gathering and I'm not the outgoing
type welcome to the club, but my wife thinks I
it would be fun and good to meet new people.
They claim there will be dancing. Since it's a swingers party,
what do you say, Loren, or should we go?

Speaker 7 (35:05):
Wait a second?

Speaker 11 (35:05):
Okay, so if it's a swingers party, I think you
have to go obligated.

Speaker 7 (35:10):
Yeah, it's an obligated couple's thing. Don't send your wife.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Women are allowed to go alone to that, But I
think don't send.

Speaker 7 (35:15):
Your wife alone to that.

Speaker 11 (35:16):
What if all this sausage comes at her like you
don't want that?

Speaker 7 (35:20):
No one wants that?

Speaker 2 (35:23):
What do you mean nobody wants that?

Speaker 3 (35:24):
I'm sure nobody at the party would be complaining.

Speaker 11 (35:26):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Well then if that's what you want
her to do, then yes, but I I you know,
for other regular events.

Speaker 7 (35:32):
No, she shouldn't force you to go a.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Late night drug tester rights, and he says, better to
surprise your girlfriend with flowers at work or at home.

Speaker 11 (35:43):
Flowers at work, flower pedals at home, leading essentially somewhere. Yeah,
right to the kitchen. No, that's what Eddie said. All
what else do we have?

Speaker 7 (35:54):
Some love?

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Ferg Dog says, do some women actually like sports? Or
are they all pretending?

Speaker 8 (36:02):
Hello miss Garcia?

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Hello, Well I don't think ferg Dog knows, missus Garcia,
I don't know I don't want to speak, but I can't.

Speaker 11 (36:08):
Speak for every girl, but I know a lot of
women actually do love sports and it has nothing to
do with their men or their man So yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, it depends how you were raised, you know something. Yeah,
all stereotype. A lot of men are more into sports.
So if you're like a daddy's girl and all that.

Speaker 11 (36:25):
Exactly sports with your dad, like going to a baseball game.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
Oh cute, let's.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Say some calls here, get ready loreno Art Puffin right saying?
You know it's big with Art Puffin calling and hello
Art Puffins. Everythink if I was any better, I'd be
at BUCkies. But now I wouldn't be because you're close
to BUCkies.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
I'm not. You know, I'm not close to BUCkies.

Speaker 7 (36:50):
It's Boosy's Ben.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
All I know is is good. I don't care what
you call it. They got that brisket sandwich, that's a solid,
yeah puffin.

Speaker 7 (37:02):
You ever take a date to Boosies.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
People going there?

Speaker 14 (37:07):
No, but a date took me to.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah, you know that's a keeper when they take you
to get that.

Speaker 11 (37:14):
Oh my gosh, what if you found love at Boozies
like you were in their shopping for jerky and they're like,
oh my god, that's my favorite too.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
No way you want everything?

Speaker 9 (37:23):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
What is your question?

Speaker 8 (37:25):
RT?

Speaker 2 (37:25):
What do you have here?

Speaker 14 (37:27):
All right? My question's a little bit more on the
serious tip here. All right? So I I met I
met a woman maybe like four four months ago, going
off four months. She told me in the beginning, right,
and she was into the open relationship thing. But like we, uh,
we have so much in common and I'm kind of

(37:49):
falling for now. So what should I do? What should
I do here?

Speaker 11 (37:55):
Well, you know what it is when you started, right,
so you kind of know where her mind is. That
I would remind her that you do have feelings that
are growing intentionally. Also, you need to protect yourself and
if you feel like it's going too strong and she's
not willing to give you her all, then maybe step
away from it and figure out what you really want
in the relationship.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Or my advice is just wait till she gets older,
and then she won't have other options and she'll just
you know.

Speaker 7 (38:19):
Yeah, you wait.

Speaker 11 (38:19):
The waiting game works a lot too. Got to see
what you want?

Speaker 14 (38:24):
Been a good So you sound young and sprung.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
There you go. You got play before before, what's what's
our art puffing? Yes, art puffing?

Speaker 14 (38:34):
What did you like my uh maiku?

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Oh? Absolutely?

Speaker 7 (38:40):
Was it about love? Then let's talk about it later.
What's our next question?

Speaker 2 (38:44):
All right? Oh wow, she blew you off? Or all right,
let's go to hollering James.

Speaker 7 (38:53):
I was waiting for this one. I saw his name
on there.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah, James, James, James.

Speaker 6 (38:59):
I'm to let you know this. What if her band
is over the aggressive that cares about the woman, but
it shows her too much aggressive this or she just
thinks she wants to drift away for a while.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Would this woman be would this woman be Tammy and
Montana James.

Speaker 6 (39:15):
She was like the prig to be you know that here's.

Speaker 11 (39:19):
You're so hurt, you know, just you know, maybe one
pos will hear you. I know she knows that you
think about her.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
So the problem is, James, you have too much free time.

Speaker 7 (39:28):
She's got too much, too much time to thoughts. Yeah,
daydreaming exactly.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
The mind. The mind is directed at one place. I'm
