Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our bird two hour two on
this Friday holiday weekend, talking bays Ball. How do you
interpret the Yankees who have lost their mojo ofle How
do you interpret the meaning of Aaron Judges' personal hitting
coach taking a shot at the Yankees? Also, would the
(00:22):
Marlins Jazz Chisholm make sense as a trade candidate for
the Bronx Bombers. And does it matter that Vladdie Guerrero
Junior says he doesn't want to leave the Blue Jays?
Does that matter at all? We'll talk about all of
that right now. Give it up for our number two calumn,
(00:44):
the Bronx Bosos at least right now, Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We
are in the air everywhere as we are inco and
we know there's something special in the air unless there's

com the way tire buying show be so our lead
this hour, coming from the burrow of the Bronx trouble
(01:50):
in Paradise as it continues to bubble up. Another plot
twist to the season, slipping away from the Yankees. Is
that too dramatic? Yeah? Probably so, but they suck right now.
Whether they're good again or not, it doesn't matter in
this moment. We do the show today. We do the
show today, and in today's show, the Yankees are terrible.
(02:12):
So you haven't been following along while that has been
going on. El Capitan of the Yankees has not chimed in.
Aaron Judge, He's not said anything negative about the Yankees,
but someone very close to him has. Aaron Judge, he
has a personal hitting coach who patty whacked the Bronx
(02:33):
bombers on social media. He might have seen this, someone
named Richard Schneck I believe is his name. I've never
heard of him, but we are told that he is
Aaron Judge's personal coach. Hitting coach been that way since
his rookie season, and he put the Yankees on blast.
Let's get to the good stuff. He ripped the Yankees
(02:55):
for terrible. He's the word terrible. Player development. They're determining,
determining their young players do not know how to hit offensively.
He posted this in the public Specter on the Socials.
Aaron Judge's personal hitting coach posted this. So let us
discuss how do you interpret the meaning of Aaron Judge,
(03:18):
the captain of the Yankees's private hitting coach, taking a
shot at the Yankees. So I've got Krusty the Clown,
the theater district, and Deputy Dog, and we will combine
all of these things together and we'll take a walk
down memory lane, is what we're going to do. Num
(03:39):
Burd Alright, So how did I interpret this story?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I l O V E.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. I
loved it. Air Judge has been balling, absolutely balling. But
in terms of what's around him, the foundation has started
to crack in the Bronx and Judge has for the
most part had a gag order here. He either can't
(04:11):
say anything or has chosen not to say anything. In
the Negative Specter and as the Capitan El Capitan or
the Yankees. He obviously has to be measured in his words.
I get that. But the private hitting coach can go raw,
unfiltered and can shoot from the hip now channeling in
(04:31):
this particular chapter of the book, Aaron Judges hitting coach,
his personal coach channeling Krusty the Clown. Here's a bonus
fun fact for you. The term of saying the quiet
part out loud that started with Krusty the Clown on
The Simpsons in nineteen ninety five. I'm not making this.
(04:53):
You look it up. I'm not making that up. That phrase,
and that's essentially what the hitting coach is doing, right,
He's saying the quiet part out loud is what he's doing.
And that's exactly what's happening here and the raw emotion.
If you're Aaron Judges coach, he's already gotten the forever contract. Boy,
do you want to see the team have some success
in Aaron Judge. To truly be an icon with the Yankees,
(05:17):
you actually have to win a World Series. And while
he has been monster mashing in the summer air there
in the Bronx, the Pinstripes have lost fourteen of their
last nineteen games. That is the worst stretch of baseball. Fertilizer.
It's fertilizer, is what it is. In the last couple
(05:38):
a month, it's been a bottom month. They're the worst
team in baseball right now. Page two. Staying in Gotham,
we're told that the Miami Baseball team, which does not
play in Gotham most of the road team, but the
Miami Baseball team, has put infielder Jazz Chisholm Junior up
for sale. He's on the mid season flea market. We're
(06:00):
about a month away. Less than that, about a month
away from the trade deadline. Eagle eyed baseball pundits tell
us that the Bronx Bombers are interested. They are interested
in Jazz. They want some jazz. They would like to
have him. The question is this, would the Marlins Jazz
(06:25):
Chisholm infielder play second base? Yankees don't have a second
baseman this year? Would that make sense for the Bronx Bombers.
So I'm nod in my head, yes, and I'm never
wrong about these things, but not for the reasons you
probably think he would be a proper fit in this
vintage of the Yank And here's why the Yankees might
(06:48):
say they play in the Bronx, but they really are
stuck in the theater district. And I'm not talking about Broadway.
I'm talking about kabuki theater. Right style over substance, and
that has been one of the knocks on Jazz Chisholm,
as it has been this Yankee team. But he's a
guy that people have criticized, and they said that Jazz,
(07:09):
while he's made an All Star team in his career,
he's obsessed with trying to look as cool as possible
and he often will take plays off, give minimal effort,
and he's not very popular. There was a survey done
behind a paywall a couple of months ago, and Jazz
Chisholm was voted one of the if not the most overrated.
I think he was in the top two. I think
he was the most overrated. So I bring this up
(07:31):
because Aaron Boone, the way he manages the Yankees, it's
like he's managing a country club, laid back, lase fair,
la la la la la, just like that. Right doesn't
hold players accountable. I'll give you an example. If you're
watching the Yankee game on the fourth of July, yesterday
out further, Trent Grisham was out there in center field
(07:54):
and there was a well basic base hit hit right
to him and he lackadaisically came in and then of
course booted the ball, giving up an extra base. And
it's not the first time that's happened. Juan Soto has
mastered the big league jog, for example, and cutting corners
and not playing at full speed, and Aaron Boone doesn't
(08:15):
seem to care. He doesn't care. He is just a
middle manager. He just follows what the nerds tell him
to do, and he doesn't really want to get the
players upset, so he lets them be lazy. Yeah, that's
how that goes all right. Now, final point, we stay
in the American League East, but we moved to all Calada,
(08:36):
where the poutine is fresh and the baseball is manure.
Vladi Guerrero Junior. Is he going to be traded? Well,
he has announced he wants to stay in Toronto, but
he did also point out he understands that it's a business.
(08:58):
He said. Quote this is a direct quote the quote
from Laddy Guerrero. He said, man, I don't want to leave,
he said of the Blue Jays. Quote continues, I want
to stay here all my life, but this is business,
so here we will. We're gonna look at this way.
(09:19):
So the question here is does it matter? Does it
matter that Vladdie Guerrero Junior says he doesn't want to
leave the Blue Jays. So I'm shaking my head. No
is what I'm doing with my eyes closed. And this
whole story is cartoonish, and Vladdie is going deputy dog
(09:41):
old cartoon deputy. Or he's deputizing the Canadian fan, the
nice Canadian fan, the blue Jay fan. He's playing good cop.
Vladdie is the good cop. I want to stay in Toronto.
I love Toronto. It's wonderful, international city, clean, beautiful, politics,
a little messed up, but I love it, you know.
(10:02):
Hold They, however, the Jays in this story are the
bad cop. They don't want to pay him. Boooooo Scrooge McDuck.
They don't want to pay him. So again, Vlattie, he's
deputizing the Blue Jay fans to make a ruckus on
social media, sports radio and push them to give him
(10:27):
the contract his heart desires. If you look at the
flow chart of the blue Jay season here, they have
not been very productive like the work production has not
been there, and as the trope goes, they can finish
in the last place without Vlattiguro Junior. They don't need
flattygurol Junior to finish in the last place. It is

The latest fashion faux pas in sports. We'll get to
that as well. The ostrich Ant writes and says, hey, malord,
the DC Mallard militia are still lighting them up, these fireworks,
(14:38):
always burning the midnight oil. Wow, that's front row footage
from ostrich An. That's crazy man, guys shooting off Disneyland
style fireworks. That's one thing that's changed in my lifetile now.
(14:58):
It is serious. I don't when I was a kid,
I don't remember. In the neighborhoods I was around, like
on fourth July, people did not have access to the
Disneyland fireworks. Well, yes, I don't know about you, Ben,
what's that? But I have friends who literally drive down
across the border and come back with like eight to
ten thousand dollars worth of fireworks. Is that in pesos
(15:22):
or in dollars dollars? Really?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yes? Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Did that invested? It's crazy? Yeah, it is. That's a
way to burn your money, literally burn your money. But man,
he's a Austrich sent me this footage. It's walloping Warheads
premiere twenty five shots. And these are like professional fireworks.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Whatever happened to just sparklers, you know, spelling your name
with a Sparkler's the little poppits, the pink pink throw
it at your toes.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We had these little like the snake things that would
come out. They would they would pop out, and then
there was like black tar remember that.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I don't know, Yes, I've seen those.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Those are so weird though, Like what was the point
of those? They were really stupid and it was like disappointing.
You're like, well, this is terrible, lackluster. Now, my brother
reminded me. My brother in New York, he sent me
a text randomly. I don't talk to him that often,
but he sent me a text to remind me of
the single greatest pyrotechnic moment in history, which happened twelve
(16:25):
years ago in San Diego. You remember what happened twelve
years ago in San Diego, the single greatest fireworks event
in the history.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
No tell me, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
So twelve years ago, all these people lined up, they
all had their they had their blankets, they had their chairs.
They were all ready for a twenty minute fireworks show
in San Diego. It's gonna be amaze epic fireworks show,
big night, Fourth of July, and some schmndrick who put
the firework show on hit the wrong button and all
(17:00):
all of the fireworks that were supposed to last twenty
minutes were shot off in twenty seconds. No, yeah, oh
you do one job? Yeah? How great? How great? This
video it's still amazing. It is still absolutely amazing. It's
a proof of it, right, yeah, there is. Oh yeah,
(17:20):
it's a short video because it's like twenty something seconds.
All right, let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
to who do we have here speaking of San Diego.
A man who is part of Blind Scott's minor league system,
Poppy in San Diego. Hello, Poppy, guys.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You know, you know Blind Scott, the Verblo Octagon champion.
And I'm just right here in San Diego. And it's
crazy because you know, it's busy in San Diego right here,
Uber eats and all the fireworks going on like everywhere.
I didn't have twenty seconds, but I was picking up
food and I saw like workers recording on the phone.
The fireworks spin and you know, it's just a great
(17:58):
nine in San Diego. Now, I'm wondering whatever happened to
hollering James. So we're gonna get this verbal ostar on
going the first first fourth of July. Verbal what's going on?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Well, I don't see him on my board. I don't
see hollering James on my board.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
So I showed up here, so that means I'm the
chopping and I get a golden tekent.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
No, No, that is not true. That is not true. Yeah,
you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You can't give yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
For a week, James for a week, he didn't show up.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
James lives in a mental institution. Sometimes he can't steal
the phone. Okay, what do you want me to do?
You're you're upset because a guy in a mental institution
can I cannot fight?
Speaker 6 (18:39):
No, No, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
You can even tell my mentor, Brian Finley what he
thinks about this.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Your mentor Brian Finley doesn't even know who you are.
He has no idea he does definitely, Well, if you're
his mentor, that's that explains a lot. That explains the
quality of the work, the craftsmanship.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Ben, I was so close, popping near came to the
pre wedding bash that we had in San Diego that
you were going to. He just had something going on
or also.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
He was gonna be there. You couldn't afford him because
you had to pay for me and Rob Parker to
be there, and so it was a little too much
for it.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
No, no, no, he could afford eight Ben Mallard.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
But are you saying you're a cheap date, Poppy? Is
that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
No, No, no, I had other plans, and unfortunately I
couldn't do it. I'll be having a rain check on
that with my mental bike.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Well I know how yeah, I know how you work.
Speaker 6 (19:28):

to remember when you and Danny he argued so much.
It was like, that's what we attracted me. I love
my sports guy, but attracted me big time to your
show was arguing and then he went to I was
so glad when he got fired. If he's ruining your
fifth hour, dude, he's too immature for your fifth hours
(21:21):

You can do the whole yourself.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I believe that, you know, you sound a little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You sound a little bit like Scott Farrell. Did he
sound like you? Guys don't know Scott. He's just sound
like an old radio guy, Scott Farrell.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
I've been told that by Damn. Patrick told me that
once before, you know, I've called him before you But
I'm so like, it's rare for me because I'm usually
working on the night off tonight, you know, And.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh yeah, what kind of work does you know? What
kind of work does young Torso do? Are your model?
Speaker 7 (21:55):

Speaker 7 (22:26):
So like I'm listening to you guys at night, but
through you know, and you want the podcast list. But
now I'm back on live, which is terrible because I'm
the guy that's sure to uh tell all about the law.
You know, you probably remember me when I called it
super drunk. Maybe I'm the one that caused the five
(22:49):
time button drop for the bad words.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh okay, oh yes, I do remember you?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Now?

Was it marked? The full name? Guy had a beef
with who is it?
Speaker 7 (23:06):
It's it's it's that lion. I hate him, but I
don't you want to respect him by giving him his
name because we nicknamed that that truck driver we nickname.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh okay, oh okay, yeah I got yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Put your seatbelt on, put your seatbelts on, put your
seatbells on. You know you remember you asked him? Do
you remember letter? No?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Man, No, I I do. If you're like doing that,
and then you even called him out.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
You're like, you're like, uh, that Chad like you because
he went and did it himself. You're like, go let
me let me hear you do that again. You said,
go out, put it out, get out of your truck,
get back and put and let me hear that. Kada
like you. You said to him, you like you, And
it was him and even Eddie. Even Eddie called him
out once a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Moments we're going back down memory lane. Great moments. Yeah,
you can't say that right, thank you? All right, young Torso,
go back to your old name, Young Torso.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
You know who he sounded like to me, Ben.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Who's that beetlejuice? Beetle juice. Yes, he sounded like beetlejuice.
But you don't know. This is a guy Scott Farrell
who used to work here, and Scott's worked everywhere. I
think he's just doing like a TV show now. But Scottie,
he's got this this thick, like smoky kind of sounding voice,
like he's always got some stunting down in it. Yeah,
(24:32):
like there's some there's always some flem in there. He
needs to clear out his throat. Yeah, that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah, like the smoker who has the hole taken out
of the throat.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Oh my gosh, those commercials scare my soul. Now I
have a hole in my throat. Calm down. Anyway, we'll
continue on. That was such a riveting segment of phone calls.
I can only imagine what's next. But right now, let's
get you cut about everything going on in the overnight,
and we will get the sports fashion faux pas. But
(25:03):
now a man who I am told by one of
the big radio people that listen to this show, okay,
we sent me a text. He said, Uh, let's see
here leading with soccer and food consumption audience killers. Well,
tell me what else to lead with?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Then?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
What should I lead with that something? Baseball? Fourth of
July is a baseball holiday. It's a big baseball you
said earlier in the show. Nobody's going to remember these
baseball games a week from now. That's just one of
ours today. They're going to remember them. And you have
historical moments in baseball like this guy, Christian Walker, who
(25:39):
is Godzilla at Dodger Stadium. And you're talking about a
guy stuff and sausages into his mouth.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Well, I just wanted to be relatable to you, Ben,
and I also didn't want to talk too much about
the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I know how much that team means to you, so
I didn't. Just don't mean that much to me anymore.
Hil it on. Once they got Otania, they don't want
me anymore.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
They're good.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
By the way, there's some mall or malfeas that's going on.
You've got a guy who's got a golden ticket and
he hasn't been on yet. Who's that ferk dog he's
been He's got two golden ticks.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I don't even see him on the board. Oh well,
he told me, I can only go by my board.
I don't know by board, I mean the way. I
don't see him there, I don't I don't know, I
don't see him.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
I'm sure he'll be one of the many guys in
my dms in a minute. Here, got lots of guys
in my dms, anyway, that's what we heard me, both, Yes, yeah,
I got lots of guys in those dms. Hey, yeah,
just like everybody else on the show anyway. Dak Prescott,
the Cowboys quarterback who Ben was talking about in the
A block of the first hour. He was even wearing
(26:46):
a walking boot while on a vacation. But don't worry,
cowboy fans, this is a minor foot sprain and nothing
is going to get in the way or hamper him.
For me ready for the start of training camp and
all those festivities in a while, Let's go over to baseball.
The Royals face plant ten eight to the Rays the Diamondbacks.
They hang a nine to three win on the Dodgers,
(27:09):
who taken out of the forehead Christian Walker belting two
jacks in the game. Other Major League based call them dingers.
They call them jacks, round trippers, no going yard.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
The clinical term dingers. That's the clinical term, and also
the mascot of the Rockies. Occasionally you can say four bagger.
You could do that or move it sounds dirty, but
yea four bagger. Yeah, that's like the talk about your
dating life back in the day. But it's funny how
(27:45):
you bring that up, because I think that's what you
call psychological projection, because I know what you were like
back in those days too, mister. I couldn't even get
a four back. I could get a five backer. I
know they couldn't go there at all. Well, are you done? No?
Almost forbid, you're not.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Jerkson Profar hits a home run for the Padres. They
win three to two against the Rangers, longs to get the.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Podres score, and nobody cares about there.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Nobody cares about the Padres. And then, lastly, in competitive eating,
Patrick Bertoleetti wins the Nathan Sawtog getting contest in a
heart palpitating finish, so much drama, shoving fifty eight dogs
down his throat along with those buns in ten minutes.
He is the champ no longer Joey Chesslen. Of course
he went to that separate fundraising event, but he in
(28:27):
a separate fundraising event on July fourth, fifty seven hot
dogs in five minutes, So that seems to be pretty
impressive to a guy who, back in his heyday nearly
met those records.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Ben Maller, are you done? Oh yeah, more than done.
It's not about me. I don't want to take too
long on any Let's have mallor fun. Fact, this one
dedicated to our friend Ferg Dog. I only bring this
up for Ferg Dog. There was a time, if you're old,
that baseball people said there was this guy named Mike
(29:04):
Trout who was the face of baseball and the greatest
player of this generation. Multiple MVPs and all that. Mike
Trout and Anaheim. Well, Mike Trout last played on the
fourth of July before the pandemic. He has not played
a game on the fourth of July since twenty nineteen.
(29:24):
The summer of twenty nineteen the last time Mike Trout
was on the field on the fourth of July. This
guy they're gonna change his name to Kawhi is or
Anthony Davis, the the Unibrow Terrible Keith Ocho texto says
Wolfman Jack. That guy Young Torso sounds like Wolfman Jack.
(29:45):
Matt in the Bay Area says Scott Farrell sounds just
like Scott Farrell. Yeah, he sounded like Pharrell to me.
And I've talked to Scott for a lot over the years,
and that's what it sounds like when you talk to
Scott Farrell. Yeah, it is. Just get back to the
phones and we'll say hello to uh ferg dog cashing
(30:06):
a golden ticket.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
Hello, can you believe family is about to get married?
Speaker 6 (30:18):

the significant other there. How do you feel?
Speaker 6 (30:27):

thing I'm not looking forward to. I got to find
a new place to live. I can't share an apartment

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You're invited.
Speaker 9 (30:40):

hoping was that maybe there was a spare room in
the mallor mansion I could stay in. I'm a great roommate,
just as friendly.

Yeah, now we're good. I mean with weed Man's got

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Well in fergy After the wedding, when we go back
to the hotel, if you don't know where you go.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Back, then make the relationship.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
No no, no, like yeah, if we will. If you
can't find a hotel for you can stay with us.
Good night, after the wedding, because nothing's really gonna happen
at all.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
So you're more than a welcome. But we have heard
nothing will happen, so that's what we have for. Yes, Well, I.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
Gotta get to the main reason why I called. I
could use your help.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Okay, I'm here to help. I has a public service
as long as it has nothing to do with Brian Finley.
Go ahead.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Well, as you know, Ben chose me to be his
best man. No heart feelings, right.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
So I got I got paid a C note to
go to his little uh whatever that was. I don't
even know what was that. I don't even know what
that was. I showed up. I didn't know what it was.
There was some good food there. The other tacos were
pretty good. Trashed the appets. The appetizers ice cold. I
have I've eaten ice that was warmer than the appetizer.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
That's you know.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
The tagos were good. The meal itself was solid. Maybe
I got there late, Maybe I got there little late.
That's what happened. Did you think that firked? Did you
think the appetizers were warm or cold?
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Well, I was there the whole time, so that they
were warm. When I was there.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
That mean, Okay, so Ben, I'm trying to.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Put the finishing touches on my best man speech, and
I want to know if you think there's anything I
need to add. So so far, I've got stories about
what a great friend he's been, how funny he is,
how much his coworkers love him, you know, stuff like that, Like,
does that sound pretty good to you?
Speaker 6 (32:36):
So far?
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
That's pretty good fiction?
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Right?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Are we doing non fiction or fiction? What do we do?
Because that's a fictional story. But hey, you know, good luck.
Speaker 9 (32:45):
This is a big occasion, Ben, you know what, family
comes back from the Tony Moon. This might be the
time to put him on the fifth hour for a
special post wedding interview.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, we are booked up. There are so many publicists
I get calling to go on that show, and I
don't put them on. I don't. I mean, I I
hear for.
Speaker 9 (33:00):
All then then I guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, okay, I gotta go, but thank you, all right,
go away. There's our friend Fergie, the roommate of Brian Finley.
Very odd that he would call the show, considering that
he's a roommate with Brian, and it's weird. Let's go
to the worst bus driver in North America. If this
is actually him, Lance the bus driver, who is in
San Francisco. Hello, Lance the bus driver.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Well, well, well, happy fourth of July, mister Mallard.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
It's now the fifth of July. I'll get you a
calendar and I'll teach you about the day that happens.
It's always cocktail hour for you. It's always cocked tail
hour for you.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
What was this then? You being the center? Everyone sees
you now as the center, Ben Mallard. I knew the animal,
Ben Mallard, the guy who wear no shoes and wear
hula shirts, who would really eat food. Now I see
you posting pictures of you trying to find good spot
to eat food, and you're about ten years later on
certain products. But I understand you're getting out there, Ben. People.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Well here's a great thing. Here's the great thing about you.
I want to give you credit because a lot of
people don't know this. They think of you just as
some kind of dim wit that calls the show on holidays.
But you, Lance actually helped me lose some weight because
you and your son came to the studio and you
the price of admissions. You got to bring food, and
so you brought some food, and you gave me dysentery.
(34:30):
And so I was in the bathroom and I lost
a lot of weight. So I want to thank you
for that. It's very very nice of you to give
me the Tennessee trots.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Oh, I appreciate that. I didn't need for you to
shove your head in the toilet five times. But if
it worked, Maler, if it works.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Works, maybe next time, don't put the poison in the tacos.
How about that?
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Well, don't ask for black tackles, and maybe that would
happen to either Mallard? You remember?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
How about how about you getting fresh food? How about that,
you dumb bell, how about you get fresh food?
Speaker 6 (35:00):
You were an eating machine. I got what you asked for.
You animal you are?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
You are a kangaroo, is what you are. Okay, if stupidity,
let me tell you some If stupidity was an Olympic event,
you would have the gold medal at the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
You're welcome. You're welcome.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
How are you doing, mister Mallard? I see you. You're
all over the place, meaning because you're still huge, So
you're all over the place, of course, and I hear
some of your callers. What a bunch of dimwitch you
got calling this show.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Hey, that's right, especially right now, I would say, right now,
the Ben Maler Show has never been worse right now

they do as a brick your shot.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
I do not get the respect that I could be
said about him on this show. This wordn't call Pete
from Pittsburgh used to make this show back in the day.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
No, he's he's a very large He was a large
man when he was a kid. I can only imagine
what he's like now. Yeah, all right, enough, we're too nice.
People gonna think we like each other. I gotta go,
thank you. All right, it is the Ben Malers, so
we're gonna have mallarly third degree here quickly is the
Insta trivia. Somebody named Elliott Ramos has twelve whole months,
(38:16):
the most by a Giants player San Francisco Giants player
under the age of twenty five in his first fifty
one games of a season since blank. That's the Insterta Trivia.
The answer next.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
The Ben Mahler Shows archived in the audio vol for posterities,
say giving those working the dreaded day shift a chance
to consume the audio soup Kitchen. You can follow us
both the Ben Mallor Show and The Fifth Hour with
Ben Maller podcasts. They're always free, filled with fun with
every mammal and Marsupial tuning in. Now back to Big Ben.
(38:54):
Who is wearing makeup on the program.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Well, we're on television, as you know, I signed up
for radio, but they have cameras in these studios for
some reason, and so they put us on the internet.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Who knew?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Anyway, here's the instant trip. You gotta go quick. Somebody
named Elliott Ramo says hit twelve home runs most by
San Francisco Giants player under the age of twenty five
in his first fifty one games of a season since
Blank Abner Doubleday guessed by Kathy in Madison. DJ Spin
says it's himself because he's been hold on hold for
(39:27):
a while. Orlando Sepeida from Johnny Q. Bobby Rayburn from
James that's his answer. Brandon Phillips from Robbie the Mariner Fan.
Very nice photo there, Joe Garagiola, good name from Alfieano Piner.
What say you, Eddie? I say, Oh, I see I
said Eddie bat Oh my gosh, are you serious? I
wish Eddie was here. That's a that's a Freudian slip.
(39:48):
I wish Eddie was here all right now, we don't
have time for your answer. The answer John Dave Kingman,
how about that, I'm on time, balor come on.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Times, Speed run, Speed Run.
Speaker 10 (40:05):
Eagles AJ Brown praised Saquon Barkley and sent a warning
to the Giants.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Ben, should New York be worried?
Speaker 6 (40:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Saquon Barkley is a running back. You don't worry about
running backs in modern football. They're marginalized. And the Eagles
lost the star of their offensive line, Jason Kelsey, to
become a podcaster. So no, you can talk to talk.
Barker will have some good games in Philadelphia and everybody's
gonna get hurt and then that's it.
Speaker 10 (40:30):
Next talk around the NBA says the Nuggets have quote
tangible interest in Clipper's point guard Russell Westbrook. So Ben,
would the Clips be making a mistake sending Russ to
the Western rival?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
No, listen. I like the effort that Restwork plays with. Okay,
the energy, the perseverance that he plays with. But he's
a liability in the plass. We saw it this year
against the Mavericks when he kept shooting from the outside
and missing. He was even missing around the basket. So no,
if you send Westbrook to Denver, you then want to
(41:02):
play the Nuggets because you know all of his weak spots,
you know all of his kryptonite. So there's no problem
with that. I don't know why the Nuggets would want
him at this point.
Speaker 10 (41:12):
Next, Chicago skyrookie Angel Reese is in talks with Hershey's about.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
A potential endorsement.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Are you Eddie got.
Speaker 10 (41:22):
Involving Reese's ben? Is this a match made in chocolate heaven?
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Well, I get it, it's Angel Reese, Reese's pieces like,
I get that, but I'm not going to go buy
chocolate because of this. And I would like to have
My name is Malard most people say Maller, So I
would like to have an endorsement deal with mals Why
are there any malls left? There's like outdoor malls. I'd
(41:46):
like to cash in on that name connection thing. Anyway,
how do we do?
Speaker 3 (41:49):
He ad it's a win. That is a win?
Speaker 7 (41:53):
What the game?
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Twitter
Hello and welcome. It's our bird two hour two on
this Friday holiday weekend, talking bays Ball. How do you
interpret the Yankees who have lost their mojo ofle How
do you interpret the meaning of Aaron Judges' personal hitting
coach taking a shot at the Yankees? Also, would the
(00:22):
Marlins Jazz Chisholm make sense as a trade candidate for
the Bronx Bombers. And does it matter that Vladdie Guerrero
Junior says he doesn't want to leave the Blue Jays?
Does that matter at all? We'll talk about all of
that right now. Give it up for our number two calumn,
(00:44):
the Bronx Bosos at least right now, Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We
are in the air everywhere as we are inco and
we know there's something special in the air unless there's
(01:04):
not coast to coast, border the border and beyond on
the mast and splashly powerful microphones of fsre ammating live
from the theater, the Theater of the Absurd, as we
are broadcasting live from the ti Raq dot Com studios.
Tyract dot com will help you get there at unmatched selection, fast,
(01:28):
free shipping free road hazard protection at over ten thousand
recommended installers. Malibu Rubin approves that message tire ract dot
com the way tire buying show be so our lead
this hour, coming from the burrow of the Bronx trouble
(01:50):
in Paradise as it continues to bubble up. Another plot
twist to the season, slipping away from the Yankees. Is
that too dramatic? Yeah? Probably so, but they suck right now.
Whether they're good again or not, it doesn't matter in
this moment. We do the show today. We do the
show today, and in today's show, the Yankees are terrible.
(02:12):
So you haven't been following along while that has been
going on. El Capitan of the Yankees has not chimed in.
Aaron Judge, He's not said anything negative about the Yankees,
but someone very close to him has. Aaron Judge, he
has a personal hitting coach who patty whacked the Bronx
(02:33):
bombers on social media. He might have seen this, someone
named Richard Schneck I believe is his name. I've never
heard of him, but we are told that he is
Aaron Judge's personal coach. Hitting coach been that way since
his rookie season, and he put the Yankees on blast.
Let's get to the good stuff. He ripped the Yankees
(02:55):
for terrible. He's the word terrible. Player development. They're determining,
determining their young players do not know how to hit offensively.
He posted this in the public Specter on the Socials.
Aaron Judge's personal hitting coach posted this. So let us
discuss how do you interpret the meaning of Aaron Judge,
(03:18):
the captain of the Yankees's private hitting coach, taking a
shot at the Yankees. So I've got Krusty the Clown,
the theater district, and Deputy Dog, and we will combine
all of these things together and we'll take a walk
down memory lane, is what we're going to do. Num
(03:39):
Burd Alright, So how did I interpret this story?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I l O V E.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. I
loved it. Air Judge has been balling, absolutely balling. But
in terms of what's around him, the foundation has started
to crack in the Bronx and Judge has for the
most part had a gag order here. He either can't
(04:11):
say anything or has chosen not to say anything. In
the Negative Specter and as the Capitan El Capitan or
the Yankees. He obviously has to be measured in his words.
I get that. But the private hitting coach can go raw,
unfiltered and can shoot from the hip now channeling in
(04:31):
this particular chapter of the book, Aaron Judges hitting coach,
his personal coach channeling Krusty the Clown. Here's a bonus
fun fact for you. The term of saying the quiet
part out loud that started with Krusty the Clown on
The Simpsons in nineteen ninety five. I'm not making this.
(04:53):
You look it up. I'm not making that up. That phrase,
and that's essentially what the hitting coach is doing, right,
He's saying the quiet part out loud is what he's doing.
And that's exactly what's happening here and the raw emotion.
If you're Aaron Judges coach, he's already gotten the forever contract. Boy,
do you want to see the team have some success
in Aaron Judge. To truly be an icon with the Yankees,
(05:17):
you actually have to win a World Series. And while
he has been monster mashing in the summer air there
in the Bronx, the Pinstripes have lost fourteen of their
last nineteen games. That is the worst stretch of baseball. Fertilizer.
It's fertilizer, is what it is. In the last couple
(05:38):
a month, it's been a bottom month. They're the worst
team in baseball right now. Page two. Staying in Gotham,
we're told that the Miami Baseball team, which does not
play in Gotham most of the road team, but the
Miami Baseball team, has put infielder Jazz Chisholm Junior up
for sale. He's on the mid season flea market. We're
(06:00):
about a month away. Less than that, about a month
away from the trade deadline. Eagle eyed baseball pundits tell
us that the Bronx Bombers are interested. They are interested
in Jazz. They want some jazz. They would like to
have him. The question is this, would the Marlins Jazz
(06:25):
Chisholm infielder play second base? Yankees don't have a second
baseman this year? Would that make sense for the Bronx Bombers.
So I'm nod in my head, yes, and I'm never
wrong about these things, but not for the reasons you
probably think he would be a proper fit in this
vintage of the Yank And here's why the Yankees might
(06:48):
say they play in the Bronx, but they really are
stuck in the theater district. And I'm not talking about Broadway.
I'm talking about kabuki theater. Right style over substance, and
that has been one of the knocks on Jazz Chisholm,
as it has been this Yankee team. But he's a
guy that people have criticized, and they said that Jazz,
(07:09):
while he's made an All Star team in his career,
he's obsessed with trying to look as cool as possible
and he often will take plays off, give minimal effort,
and he's not very popular. There was a survey done
behind a paywall a couple of months ago, and Jazz
Chisholm was voted one of the if not the most overrated.
I think he was in the top two. I think
he was the most overrated. So I bring this up
(07:31):
because Aaron Boone, the way he manages the Yankees, it's
like he's managing a country club, laid back, lase fair,
la la la la la, just like that. Right doesn't
hold players accountable. I'll give you an example. If you're
watching the Yankee game on the fourth of July, yesterday
out further, Trent Grisham was out there in center field
(07:54):
and there was a well basic base hit hit right
to him and he lackadaisically came in and then of
course booted the ball, giving up an extra base. And
it's not the first time that's happened. Juan Soto has
mastered the big league jog, for example, and cutting corners
and not playing at full speed, and Aaron Boone doesn't
(08:15):
seem to care. He doesn't care. He is just a
middle manager. He just follows what the nerds tell him
to do, and he doesn't really want to get the
players upset, so he lets them be lazy. Yeah, that's
how that goes all right. Now, final point, we stay
in the American League East, but we moved to all Calada,
(08:36):
where the poutine is fresh and the baseball is manure.
Vladi Guerrero Junior. Is he going to be traded? Well,
he has announced he wants to stay in Toronto, but
he did also point out he understands that it's a business.
(08:58):
He said. Quote this is a direct quote the quote
from Laddy Guerrero. He said, man, I don't want to leave,
he said of the Blue Jays. Quote continues, I want
to stay here all my life, but this is business,
so here we will. We're gonna look at this way.
(09:19):
So the question here is does it matter? Does it
matter that Vladdie Guerrero Junior says he doesn't want to
leave the Blue Jays. So I'm shaking my head. No
is what I'm doing with my eyes closed. And this
whole story is cartoonish, and Vladdie is going deputy dog
(09:41):
old cartoon deputy. Or he's deputizing the Canadian fan, the
nice Canadian fan, the blue Jay fan. He's playing good cop.
Vladdie is the good cop. I want to stay in Toronto.
I love Toronto. It's wonderful, international city, clean, beautiful, politics,
a little messed up, but I love it, you know.
(10:02):
Hold They, however, the Jays in this story are the
bad cop. They don't want to pay him. Boooooo Scrooge McDuck.
They don't want to pay him. So again, Vlattie, he's
deputizing the Blue Jay fans to make a ruckus on
social media, sports radio and push them to give him
(10:27):
the contract his heart desires. If you look at the
flow chart of the blue Jay season here, they have
not been very productive like the work production has not
been there, and as the trope goes, they can finish
in the last place without Vlattiguro Junior. They don't need
flattygurol Junior to finish in the last place. It is

the DC Mallard militia are still lighting them up, these fireworks,
(14:38):
always burning the midnight oil. Wow, that's front row footage
from ostrich An. That's crazy man, guys shooting off Disneyland
style fireworks. That's one thing that's changed in my lifetile now.
(14:58):
It is serious. I don't when I was a kid,
I don't remember. In the neighborhoods I was around, like
on fourth July, people did not have access to the
Disneyland fireworks. Well, yes, I don't know about you, Ben,
what's that? But I have friends who literally drive down
across the border and come back with like eight to
ten thousand dollars worth of fireworks. Is that in pesos
(15:22):
or in dollars dollars? Really?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yes? Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Did that invested? It's crazy? Yeah, it is. That's a
way to burn your money, literally burn your money. But man,
he's a Austrich sent me this footage. It's walloping Warheads
premiere twenty five shots. And these are like professional fireworks.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Whatever happened to just sparklers, you know, spelling your name
with a Sparkler's the little poppits, the pink pink throw
it at your toes.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We had these little like the snake things that would
come out. They would they would pop out, and then
there was like black tar remember that.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I don't know, Yes, I've seen those.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Those are so weird though, Like what was the point
of those? They were really stupid and it was like disappointing.
You're like, well, this is terrible, lackluster. Now, my brother
reminded me. My brother in New York, he sent me
a text randomly. I don't talk to him that often,
but he sent me a text to remind me of
the single greatest pyrotechnic moment in history, which happened twelve
(16:25):
years ago in San Diego. You remember what happened twelve
years ago in San Diego, the single greatest fireworks event
in the history.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
No tell me, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
So twelve years ago, all these people lined up, they
all had their they had their blankets, they had their chairs.
They were all ready for a twenty minute fireworks show
in San Diego. It's gonna be amaze epic fireworks show,
big night, Fourth of July, and some schmndrick who put
the firework show on hit the wrong button and all
(17:00):
all of the fireworks that were supposed to last twenty
minutes were shot off in twenty seconds. No, yeah, oh
you do one job? Yeah? How great? How great? This
video it's still amazing. It is still absolutely amazing. It's
a proof of it, right, yeah, there is. Oh yeah,
(17:20):
it's a short video because it's like twenty something seconds.
All right, let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
to who do we have here speaking of San Diego.
A man who is part of Blind Scott's minor league system,
Poppy in San Diego. Hello, Poppy, guys.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You know, you know Blind Scott, the Verblo Octagon champion.
And I'm just right here in San Diego. And it's
crazy because you know, it's busy in San Diego right here,
Uber eats and all the fireworks going on like everywhere.
I didn't have twenty seconds, but I was picking up
food and I saw like workers recording on the phone.
The fireworks spin and you know, it's just a great
(17:58):
nine in San Diego. Now, I'm wondering whatever happened to
hollering James. So we're gonna get this verbal ostar on
going the first first fourth of July. Verbal what's going on?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Well, I don't see him on my board. I don't
see hollering James on my board.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
So I showed up here, so that means I'm the
chopping and I get a golden tekent.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
No, No, that is not true. That is not true. Yeah,
you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You can't give yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
For a week, James for a week, he didn't show up.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
James lives in a mental institution. Sometimes he can't steal
the phone. Okay, what do you want me to do?
You're you're upset because a guy in a mental institution
can I cannot fight?
Speaker 6 (18:39):
No, No, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
You can even tell my mentor, Brian Finley what he
thinks about this.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Your mentor Brian Finley doesn't even know who you are.
He has no idea he does definitely, Well, if you're
his mentor, that's that explains a lot. That explains the
quality of the work, the craftsmanship.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Ben, I was so close, popping near came to the
pre wedding bash that we had in San Diego that
you were going to. He just had something going on
or also.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
He was gonna be there. You couldn't afford him because
you had to pay for me and Rob Parker to
be there, and so it was a little too much
for it.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
No, no, no, he could afford eight Ben Mallard.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
But are you saying you're a cheap date, Poppy? Is
that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
No, No, no, I had other plans, and unfortunately I
couldn't do it. I'll be having a rain check on
that with my mental bike.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Well I know how yeah, I know how you work.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You if you had been invited, you would have shown up.
You would have dropped everything else you have. You would
have been there.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yes, I would have showed up, and we were gonna
car park with you and Brian finn It was not
Brian Finney but Rob Parker car pulled me, You and
Parker and.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Then you're gonna wake up and get out of bed
and go start your day.

Speaker 6 (19:50):

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Thank you? Barright. I gave you once. I didn't hang
up on you. Yeah, I did it. You're done, get it,

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah, that's a caller. That's what he said his name was.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
He said he his name is Young Torso.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I know maybe I misheard him.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Okay, I've never before. Okay, that's very odd. Let's say
hello to It says young Torso, Hello, Young Torso, Welcome man.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Why would that be your nickname?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
I said, Wow, you think about it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I don't want to think about it.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
Well, I didn't need to say myself. So pennyhows or
house of going? Brother? Listener?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah? How long you been listening?
Speaker 7 (20:57):
I'm twenty sixteen. I donated a Genie bench. I used
to remember when you and Danny he argued so much.
It was like, that's what we attracted me. I love
my sports guy, but attracted me big time to your
show was arguing and then he went to I was
so glad when he got fired. If he's ruining your
fifth hour, dude, he's too immature for your fifth hours
(21:21):
and stuff. Brother. But anyways, you don't need him on that.
You can do the whole yourself.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I believe that, you know, you sound a little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You sound a little bit like Scott Farrell. Did he
sound like you? Guys don't know Scott. He's just sound
like an old radio guy, Scott Farrell.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
I've been told that by Damn. Patrick told me that
once before, you know, I've called him before you But
I'm so like, it's rare for me because I'm usually
working on the night off tonight, you know, And.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh yeah, what kind of work does you know? What
kind of work does young Torso do? Are your model?
Speaker 7 (21:55):
I wish, dud. I have a lot of respects for
you and the original crew and everyone that's there to night.
You know, God bless you were showing up. But uh no,
it's a rare day for me night if I know.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
But I asked you a question. I want to know.
I want to know, wait, wait, I want to know
what you do for Olivia. I asked you a question,
what do you what kind of work do you do?
Speaker 7 (22:13):
Then I maintain Probably I maintained properties. Uh so I
basically cleaned the inside and outside of five different properties.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Okay, all right, so you.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Like three.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
So like I'm listening to you guys at night, but
through you know, and you want the podcast list. But
now I'm back on live, which is terrible because I'm
the guy that's sure to uh tell all about the law.
You know, you probably remember me when I called it
super drunk. Maybe I'm the one that caused the five
(22:49):
time button drop for the bad words.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh okay, oh yes, I do remember you?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Now?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, you had a beef. You had a beef with it?
Was it marked? The full name? Guy had a beef
with who is it?
Speaker 7 (23:06):
It's it's it's that lion. I hate him, but I
don't you want to respect him by giving him his
name because we nicknamed that that truck driver we nickname.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh okay, oh okay, yeah I got yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Put your seatbelt on, put your seatbelts on, put your
seatbells on. You know you remember you asked him? Do
you remember letter? No?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Man, No, I I do. If you're like doing that,
and then you even called him out.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
You're like, you're like, uh, that Chad like you because
he went and did it himself. You're like, go let
me let me hear you do that again. You said,
go out, put it out, get out of your truck,
get back and put and let me hear that. Kada
like you. You said to him, you like you, And
it was him and even Eddie. Even Eddie called him
out once a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Moments we're going back down memory lane. Great moments. Yeah,
you can't say that right, thank you? All right, young Torso,
go back to your old name, Young Torso.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
You know who he sounded like to me, Ben.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Who's that beetlejuice? Beetle juice. Yes, he sounded like beetlejuice.
But you don't know. This is a guy Scott Farrell
who used to work here, and Scott's worked everywhere. I
think he's just doing like a TV show now. But Scottie,
he's got this this thick, like smoky kind of sounding voice,
like he's always got some stunting down in it. Yeah,
(24:32):
like there's some there's always some flem in there. He
needs to clear out his throat. Yeah, that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah, like the smoker who has the hole taken out
of the throat.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Oh my gosh, those commercials scare my soul. Now I
have a hole in my throat. Calm down. Anyway, we'll
continue on. That was such a riveting segment of phone calls.
I can only imagine what's next. But right now, let's
get you cut about everything going on in the overnight,
and we will get the sports fashion faux pas. But
(25:03):
now a man who I am told by one of
the big radio people that listen to this show, okay,
we sent me a text. He said, Uh, let's see
here leading with soccer and food consumption audience killers. Well,
tell me what else to lead with?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Then?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
What should I lead with that something? Baseball? Fourth of
July is a baseball holiday. It's a big baseball you
said earlier in the show. Nobody's going to remember these
baseball games a week from now. That's just one of
ours today. They're going to remember them. And you have
historical moments in baseball like this guy, Christian Walker, who
(25:39):
is Godzilla at Dodger Stadium. And you're talking about a
guy stuff and sausages into his mouth.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Well, I just wanted to be relatable to you, Ben,
and I also didn't want to talk too much about
the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I know how much that team means to you, so
I didn't. Just don't mean that much to me anymore.
Hil it on. Once they got Otania, they don't want
me anymore.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
They're good.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
By the way, there's some mall or malfeas that's going on.
You've got a guy who's got a golden ticket and
he hasn't been on yet. Who's that ferk dog he's
been He's got two golden ticks.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I don't even see him on the board. Oh well,
he told me, I can only go by my board.
I don't know by board, I mean the way. I
don't see him there, I don't I don't know, I
don't see him.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
I'm sure he'll be one of the many guys in
my dms in a minute. Here, got lots of guys
in my dms, anyway, that's what we heard me, both, Yes, yeah,
I got lots of guys in those dms. Hey, yeah,
just like everybody else on the show anyway. Dak Prescott,
the Cowboys quarterback who Ben was talking about in the
A block of the first hour. He was even wearing
(26:46):
a walking boot while on a vacation. But don't worry,
cowboy fans, this is a minor foot sprain and nothing
is going to get in the way or hamper him.
For me ready for the start of training camp and
all those festivities in a while, Let's go over to baseball.
The Royals face plant ten eight to the Rays the Diamondbacks.
They hang a nine to three win on the Dodgers,
(27:09):
who taken out of the forehead Christian Walker belting two
jacks in the game. Other Major League based call them dingers.
They call them jacks, round trippers, no going yard.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
The clinical term dingers. That's the clinical term, and also
the mascot of the Rockies. Occasionally you can say four bagger.
You could do that or move it sounds dirty, but
yea four bagger. Yeah, that's like the talk about your
dating life back in the day. But it's funny how
(27:45):
you bring that up, because I think that's what you
call psychological projection, because I know what you were like
back in those days too, mister. I couldn't even get
a four back. I could get a five backer. I
know they couldn't go there at all. Well, are you done? No?
Almost forbid, you're not.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Jerkson Profar hits a home run for the Padres. They
win three to two against the Rangers, longs to get the.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Podres score, and nobody cares about there.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Nobody cares about the Padres. And then, lastly, in competitive eating,
Patrick Bertoleetti wins the Nathan Sawtog getting contest in a
heart palpitating finish, so much drama, shoving fifty eight dogs
down his throat along with those buns in ten minutes.
He is the champ no longer Joey Chesslen. Of course
he went to that separate fundraising event, but he in
(28:27):
a separate fundraising event on July fourth, fifty seven hot
dogs in five minutes, So that seems to be pretty
impressive to a guy who, back in his heyday nearly
met those records.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Ben Maller, are you done? Oh yeah, more than done.
It's not about me. I don't want to take too
long on any Let's have mallor fun. Fact, this one
dedicated to our friend Ferg Dog. I only bring this
up for Ferg Dog. There was a time, if you're old,
that baseball people said there was this guy named Mike
(29:04):
Trout who was the face of baseball and the greatest
player of this generation. Multiple MVPs and all that. Mike
Trout and Anaheim. Well, Mike Trout last played on the
fourth of July before the pandemic. He has not played
a game on the fourth of July since twenty nineteen.
(29:24):
The summer of twenty nineteen the last time Mike Trout
was on the field on the fourth of July. This
guy they're gonna change his name to Kawhi is or
Anthony Davis, the the Unibrow Terrible Keith Ocho texto says
Wolfman Jack. That guy Young Torso sounds like Wolfman Jack.
(29:45):
Matt in the Bay Area says Scott Farrell sounds just
like Scott Farrell. Yeah, he sounded like Pharrell to me.
And I've talked to Scott for a lot over the years,
and that's what it sounds like when you talk to
Scott Farrell. Yeah, it is. Just get back to the
phones and we'll say hello to uh ferg dog cashing
(30:06):
a golden ticket.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
Hello, can you believe family is about to get married?
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Ben?
Speaker 9 (30:18):
This might be his last time on your show as
a free man.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, Now, how do you feel about you know, you're
the significant other there. How do you feel?
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Well?
Speaker 9 (30:27):
As excited as I am for the wedding, there's one
thing I'm not looking forward to. I got to find
a new place to live. I can't share an apartment
with family and his wife. That's not gonna work.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You're invited.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
I could give it a shot. But what I was
hoping was that maybe there was a spare room in
the mallor mansion I could stay in. I'm a great roommate,
just as friendly.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, now we're good. I mean with weed Man's got
a place if he comes to l you know.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
What I mean, to the weed Man of the West Coast,
to you.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Ben, Yeah, no, we're good on that for ye. Now
what are you gonna wear to the wedding? Do you
have your outfit picked out?
Speaker 9 (31:01):
Yeah? I got a I got a nice blue suit.
It's it's very nice.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
It's like is that light blue? Light blue?
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Wearing orange?
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Well in fergy After the wedding, when we go back
to the hotel, if you don't know where you go.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Back, then make the relationship.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
No no, no, like yeah, if we will. If you
can't find a hotel for you can stay with us.
Good night, after the wedding, because nothing's really gonna happen
at all.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
So you're more than a welcome. But we have heard
nothing will happen, so that's what we have for. Yes, Well, I.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
Gotta get to the main reason why I called. I
could use your help.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Okay, I'm here to help. I has a public service
as long as it has nothing to do with Brian Finley.
Go ahead.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Well, as you know, Ben chose me to be his
best man. No heart feelings, right.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
So I got I got paid a C note to
go to his little uh whatever that was. I don't
even know what was that. I don't even know what
that was. I showed up. I didn't know what it was.
There was some good food there. The other tacos were
pretty good. Trashed the appets. The appetizers ice cold. I
have I've eaten ice that was warmer than the appetizer.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
That's you know.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
The tagos were good. The meal itself was solid. Maybe
I got there late, Maybe I got there little late.
That's what happened. Did you think that firked? Did you
think the appetizers were warm or cold?
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Well, I was there the whole time, so that they
were warm. When I was there.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
That mean, Okay, so Ben, I'm trying to.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Put the finishing touches on my best man speech, and
I want to know if you think there's anything I
need to add. So so far, I've got stories about
what a great friend he's been, how funny he is,
how much his coworkers love him, you know, stuff like that, Like,
does that sound pretty good to you?
Speaker 6 (32:36):
So far?
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
That's pretty good fiction?
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Right?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Are we doing non fiction or fiction? What do we do?
Because that's a fictional story. But hey, you know, good luck.
Speaker 9 (32:45):
This is a big occasion, Ben, you know what, family
comes back from the Tony Moon. This might be the
time to put him on the fifth hour for a
special post wedding interview.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, we are booked up. There are so many publicists
I get calling to go on that show, and I
don't put them on. I don't. I mean, I I
hear for.
Speaker 9 (33:00):
All then then I guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, okay, I gotta go, but thank you, all right,
go away. There's our friend Fergie, the roommate of Brian Finley.
Very odd that he would call the show, considering that
he's a roommate with Brian, and it's weird. Let's go
to the worst bus driver in North America. If this
is actually him, Lance the bus driver, who is in
San Francisco. Hello, Lance the bus driver.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Well, well, well, happy fourth of July, mister Mallard.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
It's now the fifth of July. I'll get you a
calendar and I'll teach you about the day that happens.
It's always cocktail hour for you. It's always cocked tail
hour for you.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
What was this then? You being the center? Everyone sees
you now as the center, Ben Mallard. I knew the animal,
Ben Mallard, the guy who wear no shoes and wear
hula shirts, who would really eat food. Now I see
you posting pictures of you trying to find good spot
to eat food, and you're about ten years later on
certain products. But I understand you're getting out there, Ben. People.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Well here's a great thing. Here's the great thing about you.
I want to give you credit because a lot of
people don't know this. They think of you just as
some kind of dim wit that calls the show on holidays.
But you, Lance actually helped me lose some weight because
you and your son came to the studio and you
the price of admissions. You got to bring food, and
so you brought some food, and you gave me dysentery.
(34:30):
And so I was in the bathroom and I lost
a lot of weight. So I want to thank you
for that. It's very very nice of you to give
me the Tennessee trots.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Oh, I appreciate that. I didn't need for you to
shove your head in the toilet five times. But if
it worked, Maler, if it works.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Works, maybe next time, don't put the poison in the tacos.
How about that?
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Well, don't ask for black tackles, and maybe that would
happen to either Mallard? You remember?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
How about how about you getting fresh food? How about that,
you dumb bell, how about you get fresh food?
Speaker 6 (35:00):
You were an eating machine. I got what you asked for.
You animal you are?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
You are a kangaroo, is what you are. Okay, if stupidity,
let me tell you some If stupidity was an Olympic event,
you would have the gold medal at the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
You're welcome. You're welcome.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
How are you doing, mister Mallard? I see you. You're
all over the place, meaning because you're still huge, So
you're all over the place, of course, and I hear
some of your callers. What a bunch of dimwitch you

People gonna think we like each other. I gotta go,
thank you. All right, it is the Ben Malers, so
we're gonna have mallarly third degree here quickly is the
Insta trivia. Somebody named Elliott Ramos has twelve whole months,
(38:16):
the most by a Giants player San Francisco Giants player
under the age of twenty five in his first fifty
one games of a season since blank. That's the Insterta Trivia.
The answer next.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

(38:54):
Who is wearing makeup on the program.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Well, we're on television, as you know, I signed up
for radio, but they have cameras in these studios for
some reason, and so they put us on the internet.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Who knew?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Anyway, here's the instant trip. You gotta go quick. Somebody
named Elliott Ramo says hit twelve home runs most by
San Francisco Giants player under the age of twenty five
in his first fifty one games of a season since
Blank Abner Doubleday guessed by Kathy in Madison. DJ Spin
says it's himself because he's been hold on hold for
(39:27):
a while. Orlando Sepeida from Johnny Q. Bobby Rayburn from
James that's his answer. Brandon Phillips from Robbie the Mariner Fan.
Very nice photo there, Joe Garagiola, good name from Alfieano Piner.
What say you, Eddie? I say, Oh, I see I
said Eddie bat Oh my gosh, are you serious? I
wish Eddie was here. That's a that's a Freudian slip.
(39:48):
I wish Eddie was here all right now, we don't
have time for your answer. The answer John Dave Kingman,
how about that, I'm on time, balor come on.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Times, Speed run, Speed Run.
Speaker 10 (40:05):
Eagles AJ Brown praised Saquon Barkley and sent a warning
to the Giants.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Ben, should New York be worried?
Speaker 6 (40:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Saquon Barkley is a running back. You don't worry about
running backs in modern football. They're marginalized. And the Eagles
lost the star of their offensive line, Jason Kelsey, to
become a podcaster. So no, you can talk to talk.
Barker will have some good games in Philadelphia and everybody's
gonna get hurt and then that's it.
Speaker 10 (40:30):
Next talk around the NBA says the Nuggets have quote
tangible interest in Clipper's point guard Russell Westbrook. So Ben,
would the Clips be making a mistake sending Russ to
the Western rival?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
No, listen. I like the effort that Restwork plays with. Okay,
the energy, the perseverance that he plays with. But he's
a liability in the plass. We saw it this year
against the Mavericks when he kept shooting from the outside
and missing. He was even missing around the basket. So no,
if you send Westbrook to Denver, you then want to
(41:02):
play the Nuggets because you know all of his weak spots,
you know all of his kryptonite. So there's no problem
with that. I don't know why the Nuggets would want
him at this point.
Speaker 10 (41:12):
Next, Chicago skyrookie Angel Reese is in talks with Hershey's about.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
A potential endorsement.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Are you Eddie got.
Speaker 10 (41:22):
Involving Reese's ben? Is this a match made in chocolate heaven?
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Well, I get it, it's Angel Reese, Reese's pieces like,
I get that, but I'm not going to go buy
chocolate because of this. And I would like to have
My name is Malard most people say Maller, So I
would like to have an endorsement deal with mals Why
are there any malls left? There's like outdoor malls. I'd
(41:46):
like to cash in on that name connection thing. Anyway,
how do we do?
Speaker 3 (41:49):
He ad it's a win. That is a win?
Speaker 7 (41:53):
What the game?
Speaker 1 (41:55):
