Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our na berth three. No nonsense.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You know, we call a spade a spade on this show,
and we start with a wild story from the Olympics.
Where are you at on n b C using an
Ai version of al Michaels for some of their Olympic
coverage this summer in Perie.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We'll discuss that.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Also, should the Dodgers allow show Hey Otani to participate
in the Midsummer home run derby? Otani says he's interested,
but it's up to the team. And how did you
grade the Yankees outfielder Juan Soto's response to a question
about the Mets being interested in acquiring him in free agency.
(00:50):
We'll get to all of that and much more right
now in the eye of the needle here it is
our number three. You've heard of goldenpipes, but what about
forever pipes?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
What about that? Welcome In the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We are in the air everywhere, under the sheets as
we are, a thorn in the flesh, coast, the coast, border, the.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Order and beyond on the vast and markedly powerful microphones
of fs are ammating live from the diarrhea as we
have verbal diarrhea all night long. We're broadcasting live from
the ti ract dot Com studios tyract dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
We'll help you get.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
There in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended in stars tyract dot com.
The way tire buying should be. Robbie the Mariner fan
head birthday this week and he had ten thousand pieces
(02:01):
of cake. Justin and Cincinnati tells me he passed that
information on. I don't know if that's true, but that's
what he said. All right, now our lead this hour
and change it up a little bit. We're gonna go
to broadcasting. We mentioned last hour that a comedian from
Saturday Night Live is going to be covering the surfing
at the Summer Olympics, which you're coming up.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But the future has arrived.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Not only do they have comedians doing surfing, but the
Summer Olympics will feature something that we have never seen before.
And this is the beginning, the tip of the spear,
if you will, on the future of sports media and
media in general, it will swallow up most everything. And
(02:47):
if you haven't heard yet, perhaps not, NBC announced with
much fanfare that they are bringing al Michaels back for
the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics. However, not quite like
you know al Michaels. Now, it's a similar version of
(03:10):
al Michaels, but not the real thing.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So it's a it's like the real al it's a doppelganger,
but it's generated by artificial intelligence. By using advanced AI software,
they recreated al Michael's iconic pipes and they will provide
(03:32):
customized Olympic recaps on the Peacock for subscribers to the
Summer Olympics.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm not making this up, body, this is legit.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Now let us discuss the question where are you at
on NBC using an AI version of al Michael's voice
for the Olympics. So I've got del Monte, Wells, Fargo
and Star Wars and we'll combine and all these things
together and will huddle up, is what we're going to do,
(04:04):
and we'll try not to call an audible. Now, first
of all, my word for this is ambivalent. I am
ambivalent on this one. Al Michaels is for me nostalgia.
I watched him my entire life. I was a little
fat kid watching games on TV, and al Michaels was
doing games on television when I was growing up. So
(04:26):
the fact that he's still out there, he's still very
much alive. Right, So that's the first part. But I'm
ambivoing on this because al Michaels has given his blessing.
It seems odd. It's his intellectual property, it's his voice.
And al Michaels turns eighty years old this year, so
he's in the final chapter. When you get to eighty,
(04:46):
you're in the final chapter. Maybe you get a little
bonus time, but you're in the final chapter. And with Ai,
this is sportscasting immortality. That al Michaels can do this
for every Olympics for the rest of time because he's
doesn't matter if he drops dead because he's got everything's
(05:07):
in that computer.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
But when you dig a little deeper, right, so again
i'm ambivluent.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But when you dig a little deeper, it's a Del
Monte special, not the green beans or the sliced peaches
or any of those other things that are canned. This
is a can of worms, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Because you're to me, you're messing with the time space continuum.
Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I do believe in the circle of life that I
am doing a job now that somebody else did in
a previous generation, and someday I will be kicked out
of this job and somebody else will have the job.
That's the way of the world, right, you pass the
baton to the next generation. But with this you don't
have to pass the baton.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And the other thing.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
The Komodo dragon in the room is for media companies,
not that media companies would ever do this.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It saves a lot of money. It saves a fair amountument.
I would. I would assume the position that Al Michaels
is getting paid to use his voice. I don't know
how much. I don't know how long the deal is.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I assume he didn't do this and give his blessing
without getting any kind of money.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That's not how al works.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But the point is is this forever, they're gonna have
to pay every year they use Al Michael's voice.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Who else are they going.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
To bring back?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Can you bring back?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I'd much rather hear John Madden call an NFL game
an AI John Madden than I would Tom Brady or
Tony Romo. Can you bring one of them? You know
back with Madden in summer all and bring that team back.
Why not, they're both dead and save some money.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
But if you didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Use AI, someone else I assume who's a living human
being would get paid for that gig. And so really,
what this does is it deprives a younger person an
opportunity to make a little money.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It also just a pures creepy We've kidd around.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We've kidded around, and I'll probably kid around again about
AI and we'll just keep doing.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The show forever.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And maybe I'm wrong on this, but I do want
to live in a world where human beings are telling
stories to other human beings and it's not a computer
telling you a story.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's not an algorithm.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
That's just me.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I guess I'm from the Old Country. But this is
just the beginning, and you blur the lines.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And of course the doomsday prophecies of this is great
if it's al Michaels giving a recap of track and
field at the Paris Olympics. But what happens when this
gets used for nefarious purposes and there's bad actors involved,
and you think about the mind taking off and where
(07:45):
this could go and who's held accountable.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It's a it's a big mess right now.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Secondly to Major League Baseball another day and another dinger
for the seven hundred million dollar Man show, hey Ohtani
now Otani, who leads the National League in home runs.
He also was asked about the home Run Derby. He
expressed an interest. Otani didn't participating in the Midsummer Classic
(08:15):
the home run Derby.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
However, there is a caveat to.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Otani being in the home run Derby. We are hearing
that the Dwyers are reluctant to allow him to participate
in the derby. The questions rather self explanatory. Should the
Dodgers allow sho hey Otani to participate in the home
run Derby? And the answer is a thousand percent? One
(08:41):
thousand percent? After all, it is just glorified batting practice.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
What about the conspiracies? What about the fact that players
don't perform as well after in the derby?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
That has been debunked time and again. And this is
an event, it doesn't count. It's for the fans. You
help grow the sport, you increase marketability, and if Atani
goes out there and wins the home run Derby, you
sell a few more jerseys. Trickle down economics, you make
more money. Otani's answer, though, to me, indicates that this
(09:13):
is a long shot, because his response, when he essentially
dismissed it, said, well, that's up to the Dodgers. It's
like he's working as a teller at Wells Fargo. He's
passing the buck. He's passing the buck. The Dodgers can
be the bad guy. They can be the bad guy.
But no surprise that they would have that position because
the franchise has been commandeered by people who aren't fans
(09:38):
and people that are just about the math. The geek them,
the geekdom need to stop being afraid. You shouldn't coach afraid,
you shouldn't play afraid, you shouldn't be an executive afraid.
And the sense I get this is a widespread problem
among the nerds is they're afraid of what could go wrong,
(09:58):
and they're I'm not excited by what could go right,
you know what I mean? Like O'tani goes out Win's
the home run Derby. It's harmless. He does great, they
sell a few more jerseys, that's it. It's a benign event.
But no, in their heads, like Otni goes out, he
doesn't win the derby, he gets hurt, and oh my.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
God, it's being a scaredy cat. That's what it is,
all right. Final thought. We head to the Buggey down Bronx.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The Yankees are falling apart, Bronx is burning and Yankee
slugger One Soto.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Continues to tow the line.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now One Soto was asked yet again about his contract snaffo.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I don't know if it's a snaffoo, but he's a
free agent at the end of the year. He's playing
out the contract.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
There's a lot of chatter that the other New York
team is trying to burn dog Juan Soto. They want
to chase him down and have him have a life
of misery with Grimace out on Long Island. They're in
Queens with the Mets. When asked about this, one Soto said, quote,
we'll see. When he's asked about interest by the Mets,
(11:07):
he said, in the offseason, we will figure it out.
I'll let Scott meaning Scott Borris do his thing. We're
going to see. He said, all right, how do you
grade the Yankee outfielder Juan Soto's response to a question
about interest from the Mets. So I have this on
my report card. I have Star Wars, the original Star
(11:31):
Wars right writing the consularship on a diplomatic mission.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That is what won.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So he's being diplomatic. He's a baseball mercenary. This has
been the stock answer for years, going back to his
days in San Diego. Remember Juan Soto turned down three
hundred million from Washington. He turned down four hundred million
from San Diego, so that means he's got to get
at least five hundred million dollars from the Yankees to
(12:00):
make this work based on inflation. He is the mercenary
of mercenaries, and he is so close, so close to
running through the ribbon, running through the ribbon and seeing
the yellow brick road, seeing the finish line.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Which is up ahead. He can see it. He can
see it.
Speaker 2 (12:18):

a podcast recently she believes that Bieber and Adele are
lizard people. That they are lizard people.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
They are.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Now do you think she learned that on her own
or when she was hanging out with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah, I was gonna say. I can see why Aaron
Rodgers is interested in her.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Now, I believe in reptile people. Really, I think I'm
one of them because I'm always cold.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, I don't think that's what it is, though. Do
you have scales?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:51):
No, and I have really nice skin actually, but who knows?
Speaker 8 (17:54):
That could be a coat.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I think it's a it's a female thing. My wife's
always cold.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, men is, isn't it? Men or warm? And women
are always cold?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Yes, I'm about a low iron.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You think that's a conspiracy. Yeah, I think I'm a lizard.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Anyway, she Danica Patrick claimed that she is able to
see lizard people. Are you able to see lizard people? Reptilian?
Speaker 9 (18:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Men in black style?
Speaker 10 (18:20):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Didn't. She also say she did not believe in the
moon landing.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yes, I believe we did that. That was a riddle.
She's really good for the riddle of the day.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
She does some crazy stuff better than she was driving.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, no, no, but we had to end. Remember we didn't.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I know Lorena doesn't know about that, Yeah, Lorena.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
For years we did a witch lap with danic Ka
Patrick reckon bit where we tried to guess the exact
lap that Danica Patrick would get into an accident because
almost every race she got into an accident. And then
we had to stop doing it because one of our producers,
who may or may not be wrong, Button Bob, was
freaking out that we were going to get we were
get in trouble because she was going to die in
(19:00):
an accident on the track, and then it was our fault.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Yes, I mean, the world does work in mysterious ways.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Ben. That would have been the ultimate curse of the Benbino.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
You're not kidding, Yeah, but it was. It was a
good bit.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
That was one of my favorite bits that we've done.
We did that for a long time and every once
in a while we'd have a winner.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But she's now able to see reptilian people, and I'm
gonna I'm gonna give out the number here. I don't
usually do this, but if you can see reptilian people,
call right now.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Serious. I want to know we're broadcasting. We are on
a great.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Bully pulpit, the iron throne, whatever you want to call it,
and I want to hear. I'm sure there's somebody out there.
We talked about the flat earth.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
A couple of years.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, No, I can understand people like I don't agree
with them. But I can understand people who think that
the moon landing didn't happen. I can understand people who
think the Earth is even flat. I can't underst staying hollow. Fine,
I cannot understand what is what is the what's the
lizard people thing all about?
Speaker 9 (20:04):
What?
Speaker 11 (20:05):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Well?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I could give you my theory, but I want someone
to call up and give their theory and explain what
it is. But at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
there's a line open if you want to call. We
have asked Ben coming up. Let's go to Bill in Venice.
He knows a thing or two about reptilian people. How
many reptilian people have you come across?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Bill in Venice?
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Hey, hey, Ben, I've been on hold for like an hour, and.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Okay, you know what, I'm gonna give you a lifetime
supply of nothing, Bill, So if you want nothing, we'll
send you nothing.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Will that make you feel better?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
You know?
Speaker 9 (20:42):
I just you know, Cooper Loup put me on hold
for an hour, and I'm like, Coop, it sounds like
you have a beef with Coop. I don't have a
beef with m that dude is good.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Bill.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Have you have you heard any other phone calls get
taken in that last and however long you were waiting
on hold, which was actually only about forty five minutes,
But have you heard any other calls get taken?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It was.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
So Bill's rounding up forty five minutes is and he
is not wrong. I agree. I'm on the side of
Bill that forty five minutes is close enough without going over.
Speaker 10 (21:22):
But sure, but Billill you called right before out of
the third degree, we don't take any calls. That segment
then was the Mallard monologue. We don't take any calls
that segment. That's right, And then now here we are
the segment after that taking your call?
Speaker 9 (21:36):
Come on, brokay.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And the great thing Bill, the thing I love about
you is you spent you can an hour on hold
and now you're on the air, and now you're wasting
more time with this conversation.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
That's what I love about you.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Bill.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Get to the point.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
Please, I just want let's say thank you for Gercia.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
You're always the rest of them. Sorry to be careful, Eddie,

The rest is important.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
I'd like I'd like the High have baits them Hockey
have baits are very good.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
We've got a big one coming up later on tonight.
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
How many NHL teams do you think Bill and Venice
could name all of them?
Speaker 9 (22:31):
No? Yeah, I know when the New Jersey Devils, when
Stanley Cuff in nineteen ninety four?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
How about that? How about that? This guy's a genius.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
That's very random. Yeah, you name one? See can you
name fifteen NHL teams?
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Can you?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Can you name fifteen? I'll set the over under at fifteen?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Can you?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Because you named the Devils?
Speaker 11 (23:01):
You got one reason?
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Ben Ben Ben? Actually the reason I called was because
I wanted to, in regard to the NBA draft, to
add the first two dudes that were drafted are from France.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
What can you?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Can you use that in your news update, Eddie? Send
that out on the socials.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
You're telling me that two Parisians were drafted back to
back in belly to belly.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
I didn't know the Parisian they're from France, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I just think everyone from Francis Parisian, because you know
that's that's the big city there, Paris.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
Poly.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
We That really wasn't that funny? Are you do you need?
What is going on here?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
That's the beauty of that's the beauty.
Speaker 4 (24:21):

Yeah, okay, can I go?

News from the NFL ware Inneapolis. Colt general manager Chris
Pollard says the team is not concerned about the shoulder
fatigue of quarterback Anthony Richardson, that he felt at the
end of the team's organized activities in mini camp, and
that Richardson is a full go for training camp. So
nothing to be concerned about with Anthony rigaressing though he's tired,
(25:20):
and that he throws.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
The football, other than the fact Eddy that he said essentially,
he's not going to change the way he plays. He
will continue to put himself in harm's way, which I'm
all for, but he will, he'll be hurt. And the
you know, the backup quarterback is they have an elite quarterback?
Who's the backup?
Speaker 12 (25:35):
There?
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Is it? It's the comeback player of the year, right Placco?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah, Joe Flacco is now hanging out in Indianapolis and
Joe Flacco will be playing by week six of the
regular season. You heard it here first. Nobody else has

ready for a fun fact, daddy? Is that what you're
ready for?

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Fun fact?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Is it that two French guys went number one and
the number two job?
Speaker 1 (26:03):

So John Calipari's now the coach at Arkansas, but he
was pumping his chest out seventy.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Percent Calipari comes. Seventy percent of players recruited in.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
The last fifteen years by John Calipari were drafted into
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
There's only a two round draft.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Seventy three percent of the seventy got second contracts.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
If the math works out on that. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
John Calipari also pumping his chest out and doing a
pirouette on the catwalk, saying that his players have earned
over five billion dollars without endorsements. Is that possible the
math on that there are some a bunch of max
guys that played for John Calipari.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But that seems a little, a little out there, seems
a little too much to me. But my goodness, it's
a lot. It's a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Seventy per let's go. He Saalo to Milkman Mike then
we'll get to ask Ben. Hello, Milkman, Mike.
Speaker 12 (27:21):
Hey, greetings and salutations there, Ben Maller and crew. Hey,
I just wanted to correct something that you've been saying.
That bit with the Titanic and Marcell was actually created
by me. It was not meant for him to read
it on the air. I don't know if you remember,
but it was the night that the Yankees got Garrett
(27:43):
Cole and he had been blassing it all over the
Twitter verse that he had breaking news, and so I
sent that to him because everyone has been talking about
it for like twelve hours, and that was, of course
before we knew about how Marcell is. So I felt
really bad afterwards.
Speaker 11 (28:01):
But yeah, I didn't expect him to read it on
the air. It was more like a joke, like, yeah,
everyone already knows, just like the Titanic.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
So yeah, well I wasn't wrong, but I wasn't right,
so I will stand corrected. Milkman, Mike.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It was one of the great things that Marcell's ever done,
and a Ron Burgundy moment. You'd agree, right, that was
a Ron Burgundy moment that he just read off the teleprompter, and.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It was that escalated quickly.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It was great and you could tell wal Marcell was
breaking the story that the Titanic had hit the iceberg.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
He part of him knew that was not real, but
he's he went with it anyway. He just kept reading it. Fascina.
Speaker 11 (28:39):
Oh yeah, it was just once he got going, you know,
it's it's like a locomotive. Once it got going, it
wasn't stopping.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah, we need to send Marcell. Only listens the last
hour so I don't have to worry about this. So
we need to send Marcel more breaking news stories.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He'll just repeat him. He will, He'll go with it.
Speaker 11 (28:56):
So I'm getting him to do a few of them
and I try to be real creative about it and
see me do it again. But he has. I haven't
been able to get him yet, So still working on Fast.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Okay, that was a blairin Maine. All right, thank you, Milkmanmike.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Milkman.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Mike was the guy that created one of the great
moments in the history of the show, the breaking news
the Titanic in an iceberg and it was broken on
this show.

mine was kind of like the Z one hundred thing.
Like what you said was a big wingo tango palooza
type thing.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
But the first concert I by myself was Saint John
and that was amazing.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I went twice.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
I went to two different venues because it was so good.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
The first time.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
In Oregon you grew up in.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
It was down here, oh down here.
Speaker 7 (32:11):

John Saint John, he sings Roses. I'll do it as
our next one back song.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Never heard of him.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Be careful what you asked for?
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
What about what about you?
Speaker 10 (32:35):
I was sixteen years old and it was a system
of a down concert in Long Beach and I took
the train to get there because I didn't have my.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
License yet the LBC. Did you take rapid transit? The
subway system? Uh? The Blue line?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah you had the Blue Line?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah yeah, interesting you survived.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Yeah, yeah it was. It was awesome.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Goes through some interesting neighborhoods. I've taken that many times.
It's an interesting cats get on that train.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
What is next year? To ask?
Speaker 11 (33:03):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Your questions are answers, all right?
Speaker 10 (33:07):
So I was trying to decide between two questions from
cowle killer. One of these, though, I don't feel like
we need to go around the horn. Does anybody prefer
snapbacks over fitted caps?
Speaker 9 (33:16):
Like?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Does anybody at all?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Ever?
Speaker 8 (33:18):
Right? Like, no, yeah, that's that's not I like.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
Snapbacks, okay, soccer mom, so I do like the soccer
mom cat.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Well, I would say, if the fitted hat fits, right,
but yeah, I mean sometimes.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
If the hat fits Eddie, you must wear it.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, but I mean every once in a while though,
like why, I like sweating it and it'll shrink and
then it's like snugs. Then if you have the snapbag,
you can just make it bigger.
Speaker 10 (33:42):
I guess the snapback for women, like you've got the ponytail, right,
so you want to ponytail through the snap back.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
We have not seen Loraina wear a ball cap.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
Yeah you have, I have, I born it.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Really I don't recall.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
That now, all right, I don't think So here's the
official question from how boy kill.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
That was just a warm up.
Speaker 10 (34:01):
Yeah, if your phone screen cracks, do you fix it
right away? Or do you wait till it gets worse. Well,
thanks for listening to my podcast. This happened to me.
I thought I was losing my mind. I thought maybe
I was.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I was something was wrong with my brain because I
kept using my phone and there was a certain part
of my phone it wasn't working. So I went to
the Apple I have an iPhone.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I went to the Apple Store and they're like, oh, yeah,
your phone's your screen's broken.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
You gotta get it replaced.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
And then I was waiting and it took so long
that I just walked out of the store and I
kept my broken phone, and so I went back.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I went back like a week later, and I got
my phone fixed.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
But yeah, I had a broken screen for for months
and I s left it because most things are expensive.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Eddie, Yeah, this is gonna I don't know if this
a little like mine actually is cracked, but you can't
really tell, like you can only tell in certain situations,
and it's very rare, so obviously i' because of that,
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
So mine was cracked on the left side from top
to bottom. I couldn't even turn the phone off because
you have to use your finger to that's a problem.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Man, yeah, you can't. I'll rain up.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
I'm kind of lazy about it, Ben. I'll leave it
for a while unless it's gonna cut me. Like if
it's actually like broke broken, then.
Speaker 8 (35:20):
I'll go get it fixed.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
But I'll leave it as long as I can because
I don't have insurance.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Got you what about your coopl loop?
Speaker 10 (35:26):
If it's like one of those little corner cracks, I'll
leave it. But if it's right, you know, down the middle.
Speaker 8 (35:32):
Like where I is this corner crack?
Speaker 10 (35:34):
Yeah, yeah, but uh, if I can see it every
time I'm using my phone, like you know, and it's
right in the middle of everything, I'm gonna go get
it fixed right away.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That that just bothers me.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
You'll listen to our live team coverage. It is asked
Ben for the rest of the hour. These are actual
questions by actual listeners. If you'd like to send a
question in for a future episode of Ask Ben, this
used to hashtag ask Ben. Back to the Koople loop
for the reading of the questions.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
No junk mail, no junk Lady Sideburns would like to know,
my Lady Sideburns, if you had been born a person
of the opposite sex, what would you hope your name
would have been or would be.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I would want if I was a woman, I would
want to be like I want to have like a
traditional stripper name, you know, like cinnamon or yeah, yeah,
one of those.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I want to go full stripper name if I was
a one. What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (36:26):
I have honestly never contemplated this.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Come ons are different.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
I don't I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
I see it was like it was a Daphne, I see,
I know.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I literally wrote.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
No answer from Eddie, Lorraine. If you were a dude,
what would your name?
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Well, it's actually really funny, Ben. I used to have
a cat that I thought was a girl, so I
named her Princess, and then I found out it was
a boy when I took her to the vet.
Speaker 8 (37:05):
So I named her Prince.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
So in this moment, my name is the queen, so
you could call me queen. You could just call me
king instead.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
So we're gonna go with Ray Ray Lorena.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
There's kind of a simple way to find out whether
it's a boy or a kit I know, baby.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
The men parts are practically still in.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Some Ray could actually be a Androg's estate.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
You could give King in Spanish ray is king Rena.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Remember years ago there were there Remember those movies Eddy Pat.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
The name, Yes, it's time for Androge and here comes Pat.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
That was really remember that.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
The worthless crap in my head is amazing, terrify. I
didn't remember that.
Speaker 8 (37:47):
You started singing, I'm gonna go with the Ashley.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
That's kind of a striper.
Speaker 8 (37:54):
I don't know, I just I just I like that name,
like shout out to my cousin Ashley.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
All right, what is next is ask Ben? Your questions
are answers for the rest of the hop.
Speaker 8 (38:05):
Have you ever microwaved ice cream to soften it up?
That's from the king Rory.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
No, I don't even have a microwave here, don't have it, Eddie,
I have.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
I like melty ice cream, ice.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Melty ice cream. I can't, I can't stand it.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
I like my steak well done. I like my ice
cream also solid, your whole lorraina.
Speaker 7 (38:26):
You guys ever put the ice cream in the bowl
and then stir it until it gets Yes, I do
it all the time.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
I do it all the time.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
But I do not microwave my ice cream.
Speaker 8 (38:34):
I think that is a sin.
Speaker 7 (38:35):
If you're going to get your ice cream soft, put
the scoop underneath boiling hot water and keep on too
much work.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
You just leave it on the counter.
Speaker 8 (38:44):
Just leave it on the counter front.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
If you like soft ice cream. Who likes this terrible
soft ice cream?
Hello and welcome. It's our na berth three. No nonsense.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You know, we call a spade a spade on this show,
and we start with a wild story from the Olympics.
Where are you at on n b C using an
Ai version of al Michaels for some of their Olympic
coverage this summer in Perie.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We'll discuss that.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Also, should the Dodgers allow show Hey Otani to participate
in the Midsummer home run derby? Otani says he's interested,
but it's up to the team. And how did you
grade the Yankees outfielder Juan Soto's response to a question
about the Mets being interested in acquiring him in free agency.
(00:50):
We'll get to all of that and much more right
now in the eye of the needle here it is
our number three. You've heard of goldenpipes, but what about
forever pipes?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
What about that? Welcome In the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We are in the air everywhere, under the sheets as
we are, a thorn in the flesh, coast, the coast, border, the.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Order and beyond on the vast and markedly powerful microphones
of fs are ammating live from the diarrhea as we
have verbal diarrhea all night long. We're broadcasting live from
the ti ract dot Com studios tyract dot com.

We'll help you get.
Speaker 2 (01:41):

and over ten thousand recommended in stars tyract dot com.
The way tire buying should be. Robbie the Mariner fan
head birthday this week and he had ten thousand pieces
(02:01):
of cake. Justin and Cincinnati tells me he passed that
information on. I don't know if that's true, but that's
what he said. All right, now our lead this hour
and change it up a little bit. We're gonna go
to broadcasting. We mentioned last hour that a comedian from
Saturday Night Live is going to be covering the surfing
at the Summer Olympics, which you're coming up.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But the future has arrived.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Not only do they have comedians doing surfing, but the
Summer Olympics will feature something that we have never seen before.
And this is the beginning, the tip of the spear,
if you will, on the future of sports media and
media in general, it will swallow up most everything. And
(02:47):
if you haven't heard yet, perhaps not, NBC announced with
much fanfare that they are bringing al Michaels back for
the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics. However, not quite like
you know al Michaels. Now, it's a similar version of
(03:10):
al Michaels, but not the real thing.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So it's a it's like the real al it's a doppelganger,
but it's generated by artificial intelligence. By using advanced AI software,
they recreated al Michael's iconic pipes and they will provide
(03:32):
customized Olympic recaps on the Peacock for subscribers to the
Summer Olympics.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm not making this up, body, this is legit.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Now let us discuss the question where are you at
on NBC using an AI version of al Michael's voice
for the Olympics. So I've got del Monte, Wells, Fargo
and Star Wars and we'll combine and all these things
together and will huddle up, is what we're going to do,
(04:04):
and we'll try not to call an audible. Now, first
of all, my word for this is ambivalent. I am
ambivalent on this one. Al Michaels is for me nostalgia.
I watched him my entire life. I was a little
fat kid watching games on TV, and al Michaels was
doing games on television when I was growing up. So
(04:26):
the fact that he's still out there, he's still very
much alive. Right, So that's the first part. But I'm
ambivoing on this because al Michaels has given his blessing.
It seems odd. It's his intellectual property, it's his voice.
And al Michaels turns eighty years old this year, so
he's in the final chapter. When you get to eighty,
(04:46):
you're in the final chapter. Maybe you get a little
bonus time, but you're in the final chapter. And with Ai,
this is sportscasting immortality. That al Michaels can do this
for every Olympics for the rest of time because he's
doesn't matter if he drops dead because he's got everything's
(05:07):
in that computer.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
But when you dig a little deeper, right, so again
i'm ambivluent.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But when you dig a little deeper, it's a Del
Monte special, not the green beans or the sliced peaches
or any of those other things that are canned. This
is a can of worms, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Because you're to me, you're messing with the time space continuum.
Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I do believe in the circle of life that I
am doing a job now that somebody else did in
a previous generation, and someday I will be kicked out
of this job and somebody else will have the job.
That's the way of the world, right, you pass the
baton to the next generation. But with this you don't
have to pass the baton.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And the other thing.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
The Komodo dragon in the room is for media companies,
not that media companies would ever do this.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It saves a lot of money. It saves a fair amountument.
I would. I would assume the position that Al Michaels
is getting paid to use his voice. I don't know
how much. I don't know how long the deal is.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I assume he didn't do this and give his blessing
without getting any kind of money.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That's not how al works.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But the point is is this forever, they're gonna have
to pay every year they use Al Michael's voice.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Who else are they going.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
To bring back?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Can you bring back?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I'd much rather hear John Madden call an NFL game
an AI John Madden than I would Tom Brady or
Tony Romo. Can you bring one of them? You know
back with Madden in summer all and bring that team back.
Why not, they're both dead and save some money.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
But if you didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Use AI, someone else I assume who's a living human
being would get paid for that gig. And so really,
what this does is it deprives a younger person an
opportunity to make a little money.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It also just a pures creepy We've kidd around.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We've kidded around, and I'll probably kid around again about
AI and we'll just keep doing.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The show forever.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And maybe I'm wrong on this, but I do want
to live in a world where human beings are telling
stories to other human beings and it's not a computer
telling you a story.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's not an algorithm.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
That's just me.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I guess I'm from the Old Country. But this is
just the beginning, and you blur the lines.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And of course the doomsday prophecies of this is great
if it's al Michaels giving a recap of track and
field at the Paris Olympics. But what happens when this
gets used for nefarious purposes and there's bad actors involved,
and you think about the mind taking off and where
(07:45):
this could go and who's held accountable.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It's a it's a big mess right now.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Secondly to Major League Baseball another day and another dinger
for the seven hundred million dollar Man show, hey Ohtani
now Otani, who leads the National League in home runs.
He also was asked about the home Run Derby. He
expressed an interest. Otani didn't participating in the Midsummer Classic
(08:15):
the home run Derby.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
However, there is a caveat to.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Otani being in the home run Derby. We are hearing
that the Dwyers are reluctant to allow him to participate
in the derby. The questions rather self explanatory. Should the
Dodgers allow sho hey Otani to participate in the home
run Derby? And the answer is a thousand percent? One
(08:41):
thousand percent? After all, it is just glorified batting practice.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
What about the conspiracies? What about the fact that players
don't perform as well after in the derby?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
That has been debunked time and again. And this is
an event, it doesn't count. It's for the fans. You
help grow the sport, you increase marketability, and if Atani
goes out there and wins the home run Derby, you
sell a few more jerseys. Trickle down economics, you make
more money. Otani's answer, though, to me, indicates that this
(09:13):
is a long shot, because his response, when he essentially
dismissed it, said, well, that's up to the Dodgers. It's
like he's working as a teller at Wells Fargo. He's
passing the buck. He's passing the buck. The Dodgers can
be the bad guy. They can be the bad guy.
But no surprise that they would have that position because
the franchise has been commandeered by people who aren't fans
(09:38):
and people that are just about the math. The geek them,
the geekdom need to stop being afraid. You shouldn't coach afraid,
you shouldn't play afraid, you shouldn't be an executive afraid.
And the sense I get this is a widespread problem
among the nerds is they're afraid of what could go wrong,
(09:58):
and they're I'm not excited by what could go right,
you know what I mean? Like O'tani goes out Win's
the home run Derby. It's harmless. He does great, they
sell a few more jerseys, that's it. It's a benign event.
But no, in their heads, like Otni goes out, he
doesn't win the derby, he gets hurt, and oh my.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
God, it's being a scaredy cat. That's what it is,
all right. Final thought. We head to the Buggey down Bronx.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The Yankees are falling apart, Bronx is burning and Yankee
slugger One Soto.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Continues to tow the line.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now One Soto was asked yet again about his contract snaffo.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I don't know if it's a snaffoo, but he's a
free agent at the end of the year. He's playing
out the contract.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
There's a lot of chatter that the other New York
team is trying to burn dog Juan Soto. They want
to chase him down and have him have a life
of misery with Grimace out on Long Island. They're in
Queens with the Mets. When asked about this, one Soto said, quote,
we'll see. When he's asked about interest by the Mets,
(11:07):
he said, in the offseason, we will figure it out.
I'll let Scott meaning Scott Borris do his thing. We're
going to see. He said, all right, how do you
grade the Yankee outfielder Juan Soto's response to a question
about interest from the Mets. So I have this on
my report card. I have Star Wars, the original Star
(11:31):
Wars right writing the consularship on a diplomatic mission.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That is what won.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So he's being diplomatic. He's a baseball mercenary. This has
been the stock answer for years, going back to his
days in San Diego. Remember Juan Soto turned down three
hundred million from Washington. He turned down four hundred million
from San Diego, so that means he's got to get
at least five hundred million dollars from the Yankees to
(12:00):
make this work based on inflation. He is the mercenary
of mercenaries, and he is so close, so close to
running through the ribbon, running through the ribbon and seeing
the yellow brick road, seeing the finish line.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Which is up ahead. He can see it. He can
see it.
Speaker 2 (12:18):

a podcast recently she believes that Bieber and Adele are
lizard people. That they are lizard people.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
They are.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Now do you think she learned that on her own
or when she was hanging out with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah, I was gonna say. I can see why Aaron
Rodgers is interested in her.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Now, I believe in reptile people. Really, I think I'm
one of them because I'm always cold.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, I don't think that's what it is, though. Do
you have scales?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:51):
No, and I have really nice skin actually, but who knows?
Speaker 8 (17:54):
That could be a coat.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I think it's a it's a female thing. My wife's
always cold.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, men is, isn't it? Men or warm? And women
are always cold?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Yes, I'm about a low iron.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You think that's a conspiracy. Yeah, I think I'm a lizard.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Anyway, she Danica Patrick claimed that she is able to
see lizard people. Are you able to see lizard people? Reptilian?
Speaker 9 (18:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Men in black style?
Speaker 10 (18:20):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Didn't. She also say she did not believe in the
moon landing.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yes, I believe we did that. That was a riddle.
She's really good for the riddle of the day.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
She does some crazy stuff better than she was driving.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, no, no, but we had to end. Remember we didn't.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I know Lorena doesn't know about that, Yeah, Lorena.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
For years we did a witch lap with danic Ka
Patrick reckon bit where we tried to guess the exact
lap that Danica Patrick would get into an accident because
almost every race she got into an accident. And then
we had to stop doing it because one of our producers,
who may or may not be wrong, Button Bob, was
freaking out that we were going to get we were
get in trouble because she was going to die in
(19:00):
an accident on the track, and then it was our fault.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Yes, I mean, the world does work in mysterious ways.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Ben. That would have been the ultimate curse of the Benbino.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
You're not kidding, Yeah, but it was. It was a
good bit.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
That was one of my favorite bits that we've done.
We did that for a long time and every once
in a while we'd have a winner.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But she's now able to see reptilian people, and I'm
gonna I'm gonna give out the number here. I don't
usually do this, but if you can see reptilian people,
call right now.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Serious. I want to know we're broadcasting. We are on
a great.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Bully pulpit, the iron throne, whatever you want to call it,
and I want to hear. I'm sure there's somebody out there.
We talked about the flat earth.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
A couple of years.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, No, I can understand people like I don't agree
with them. But I can understand people who think that
the moon landing didn't happen. I can understand people who
think the Earth is even flat. I can't underst staying hollow. Fine,
I cannot understand what is what is the what's the
lizard people thing all about?
Speaker 9 (20:04):
What?
Speaker 11 (20:05):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Well?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I could give you my theory, but I want someone
to call up and give their theory and explain what
it is. But at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
there's a line open if you want to call. We
have asked Ben coming up. Let's go to Bill in Venice.
He knows a thing or two about reptilian people. How
many reptilian people have you come across?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Bill in Venice?
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Hey, hey, Ben, I've been on hold for like an hour, and.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Okay, you know what, I'm gonna give you a lifetime
supply of nothing, Bill, So if you want nothing, we'll
send you nothing.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Will that make you feel better?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
You know?
Speaker 9 (20:42):
I just you know, Cooper Loup put me on hold
for an hour, and I'm like, Coop, it sounds like
you have a beef with Coop. I don't have a
beef with m that dude is good.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Bill.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
Have you have you heard any other phone calls get
taken in that last and however long you were waiting
on hold, which was actually only about forty five minutes,
But have you heard any other calls get taken?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It was.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
So Bill's rounding up forty five minutes is and he
is not wrong. I agree. I'm on the side of
Bill that forty five minutes is close enough without going over.
Speaker 10 (21:22):
But sure, but Billill you called right before out of
the third degree, we don't take any calls. That segment
then was the Mallard monologue. We don't take any calls
that segment. That's right, And then now here we are
the segment after that taking your call?
Speaker 9 (21:36):
Come on, brokay.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And the great thing Bill, the thing I love about
you is you spent you can an hour on hold
and now you're on the air, and now you're wasting
more time with this conversation.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
That's what I love about you.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Bill.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Get to the point.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
Please, I just want let's say thank you for Gercia.

could name all of them?
Speaker 9 (22:31):
No? Yeah, I know when the New Jersey Devils, when
Stanley Cuff in nineteen ninety four?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
How about that? How about that? This guy's a genius.

Speaker 11 (22:55):
Can you?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Can you name fifteen? I'll set the over under at fifteen?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Can you?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Because you named the Devils?
Speaker 11 (23:01):
You got one reason?
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Ben Ben Ben? Actually the reason I called was because
I wanted to, in regard to the NBA draft, to
add the first two dudes that were drafted are from France.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
What can you?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Can you use that in your news update, Eddie? Send
that out on the socials.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
You're telling me that two Parisians were drafted back to
back in belly to belly.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
I didn't know the Parisian they're from France, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I just think everyone from Francis Parisian, because you know
that's that's the big city there, Paris.
Speaker 9 (23:44):

Speaker 1 (23:48):
We That really wasn't that funny? Are you do you need?

News from the NFL ware Inneapolis. Colt general manager Chris
Pollard says the team is not concerned about the shoulder
fatigue of quarterback Anthony Richardson, that he felt at the
end of the team's organized activities in mini camp, and
that Richardson is a full go for training camp. So
nothing to be concerned about with Anthony rigaressing though he's tired,
(25:20):
and that he throws.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
The football, other than the fact Eddy that he said essentially,
he's not going to change the way he plays. He
will continue to put himself in harm's way, which I'm
all for, but he will, he'll be hurt. And the
you know, the backup quarterback is they have an elite quarterback?
Who's the backup?
Speaker 12 (25:35):
There?
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Is it? It's the comeback player of the year, right Placco?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah, Joe Flacco is now hanging out in Indianapolis and
Joe Flacco will be playing by week six of the
regular season. You heard it here first. Nobody else has
that content. We're the only ones to do. Are you
ready for a fun fact, daddy? Is that what you're
ready for?
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Yep? Ready?
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Fun fact?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Is it that two French guys went number one and
the number two job?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It's John Calipari. Porn is what it is.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
By the way, this fun fact made possible by express pros.

So John Calipari's now the coach at Arkansas, but he
was pumping his chest out seventy.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Percent Calipari comes. Seventy percent of players recruited in.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
The last fifteen years by John Calipari were drafted into
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
There's only a two round draft.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Seventy three percent of the seventy got second contracts.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
If the math works out on that. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
John Calipari also pumping his chest out and doing a
pirouette on the catwalk, saying that his players have earned
over five billion dollars without endorsements. Is that possible the
math on that there are some a bunch of max
guys that played for John Calipari.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
But that seems a little, a little out there, seems
a little too much to me. But my goodness, it's
a lot. It's a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Seventy per let's go. He Saalo to Milkman Mike then
we'll get to ask Ben. Hello, Milkman, Mike.
Speaker 12 (27:21):
Hey, greetings and salutations there, Ben Maller and crew. Hey,
I just wanted to correct something that you've been saying.
That bit with the Titanic and Marcell was actually created
by me. It was not meant for him to read
it on the air. I don't know if you remember,
but it was the night that the Yankees got Garrett
(27:43):
Cole and he had been blassing it all over the
Twitter verse that he had breaking news, and so I
sent that to him because everyone has been talking about
it for like twelve hours, and that was, of course
before we knew about how Marcell is. So I felt
really bad afterwards.
Speaker 11 (28:01):
But yeah, I didn't expect him to read it on
the air. It was more like a joke, like, yeah,
everyone already knows, just like the Titanic.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
So yeah, well I wasn't wrong, but I wasn't right,
so I will stand corrected. Milkman, Mike.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It was one of the great things that Marcell's ever done,
and a Ron Burgundy moment. You'd agree, right, that was
a Ron Burgundy moment that he just read off the teleprompter, and.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It was that escalated quickly.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It was great and you could tell wal Marcell was
breaking the story that the Titanic had hit the iceberg.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
He part of him knew that was not real, but
he's he went with it anyway. He just kept reading it. Fascina.
Speaker 11 (28:39):
Oh yeah, it was just once he got going, you know,
it's it's like a locomotive. Once it got going, it
wasn't stopping.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah, we need to send Marcell. Only listens the last
hour so I don't have to worry about this. So
we need to send Marcel more breaking news stories.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He'll just repeat him. He will, He'll go with it.
Speaker 11 (28:56):
So I'm getting him to do a few of them
and I try to be real creative about it and
see me do it again. But he has. I haven't
been able to get him yet, So still working on Fast.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Okay, that was a blairin Maine. All right, thank you, Milkmanmike.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Milkman.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Mike was the guy that created one of the great
moments in the history of the show, the breaking news
the Titanic in an iceberg and it was broken on
this show.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, that's big. All right, we'll pause for the cause.
Why have a giant, massive block of ask Ben questions,
your questions and our answers. Ben and friends, We'll get
to Ask Ben and we.

Speaker 11 (33:03):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Your questions are answers, all right?
Speaker 10 (33:07):
So I was trying to decide between two questions from
cowle killer. One of these, though, I don't feel like
we need to go around the horn. Does anybody prefer
snapbacks over fitted caps?
Speaker 9 (33:16):
Like?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Does anybody at all?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Ever?
Speaker 8 (33:18):
Right? Like, no, yeah, that's that's not I like.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
Snapbacks, okay, soccer mom, so I do like the soccer
mom cat.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Well, I would say, if the fitted hat fits, right,
but yeah, I mean sometimes.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
If the hat fits Eddie, you must wear it.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, but I mean every once in a while though,
like why, I like sweating it and it'll shrink and
then it's like snugs. Then if you have the snapbag,
you can just make it bigger.
Speaker 10 (33:42):
I guess the snapback for women, like you've got the ponytail, right,
so you want to ponytail through the snap back.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
We have not seen Loraina wear a ball cap.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
Yeah you have, I have, I born it.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Really I don't recall.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
That now, all right, I don't think So here's the
official question from how boy kill.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
That was just a warm up.
Speaker 10 (34:01):
Yeah, if your phone screen cracks, do you fix it
right away? Or do you wait till it gets worse. Well,
thanks for listening to my podcast. This happened to me.
I thought I was losing my mind. I thought maybe
I was.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I was something was wrong with my brain because I
kept using my phone and there was a certain part
of my phone it wasn't working. So I went to
the Apple I have an iPhone.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I went to the Apple Store and they're like, oh, yeah,
your phone's your screen's broken.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
You gotta get it replaced.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
And then I was waiting and it took so long
that I just walked out of the store and I
kept my broken phone, and so I went back.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I went back like a week later, and I got
my phone fixed.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
But yeah, I had a broken screen for for months
and I s left it because most things are expensive.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Eddie, Yeah, this is gonna I don't know if this
a little like mine actually is cracked, but you can't
really tell, like you can only tell in certain situations,
and it's very rare, so obviously i' because of that,
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
So mine was cracked on the left side from top
to bottom. I couldn't even turn the phone off because
you have to use your finger to that's a problem.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Man, yeah, you can't. I'll rain up.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
I'm kind of lazy about it, Ben. I'll leave it
for a while unless it's gonna cut me. Like if
it's actually like broke broken, then.
Speaker 8 (35:20):
I'll go get it fixed.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
But I'll leave it as long as I can because
I don't have insurance.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Got you what about your coopl loop?
Speaker 10 (35:26):
If it's like one of those little corner cracks, I'll
leave it. But if it's right, you know, down the middle.
Speaker 8 (35:32):
Like where I is this corner crack?
Speaker 10 (35:34):
Yeah, yeah, but uh, if I can see it every
time I'm using my phone, like you know, and it's
right in the middle of everything, I'm gonna go get
it fixed right away.
Speaker 1 (35:42):

a boy when I took her to the vet.
Speaker 8 (37:05):

If you're going to get your ice cream soft, put
the scoop underneath boiling hot water and keep on too
much work.

You just leave it on the counter.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
