So play the hit, small man, play the hits. Big
story the baseball trade deadline which has come and gone,
and I had an unusual treat that I filled in
(01:57):
locally here in La So I was on during the
day up to the trade deadline and high drama on
the transaction wire. If you were not paying attention. We
don't call it when you do overnights. It's not moonlighting,
it's daylighting. So I was daylighting. People were ture the
day are bad people, man, But I was daylighting. And
I happen to be doing stuff on the Dodger station
(02:21):
counting down to the trade deadline, and there was a
whole lot of nothing. There were people being traded that
we'd never heard of. We had to go to like
Baseball Reference dot Com to fight out who they were.
It's a bad sign. And if you were not keeping track.
The biggest name that was traded in the context of
this season, it happened with three minutes to go before
(02:42):
the deadline. Three minutes the Doyers made a late play
for a starting pitcher who will likely likely end up
starting playoff games for the Dodgers. But they made a
trade for Jack Flahert who's from LA from the LA area.
But Jack Flaherty, that move coming down the pike there
(03:05):
from the Detroit Tigers. The Dodgers and a couple of
wishes in a bottle to Detroit. That's all they had
to give up, a couple of those minor league players
and Flary twenty eight. He had been bad up until
this year, but at age twenty eight he had put
it all together there for the Detroit baseball team and
had an ERA of under three for the Tigers, and
(03:29):
bunch of strikeouts and all kinds of good nerd numbers
that people seem to like. A lot like that, a
lot those numbers. So let us discuss the question. We'll
talk about other things as well, but the question, what
is the malor report card on the Jack Flaherty trade
to the Doyers? Is that the biggest name that changed team.
So on this one, I've got cupcake, jewelry box, and
(03:53):
diesel truck. Will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make the poopy of Perie is
what we're going to make. Are they swimming in that
right now? Is that where the Olympics. So they are
swimming in the poopy water right now. Oh man, the
eat coal I is coming through the TV as we
speak right now. All right, so ay, My first thought
(04:15):
on the Jack Flaherty trade to the Dodgers is the
report card is it's not an A I was going
to give the Dodgers today. Originally my original thought was, hey,
it's an all right, I'm giving her a day. But
then after a thorough minutes long Mallor investigation, my final
grade is B plus. He probably didn't hear this, but
(04:37):
I'll give you the play by play, the blow by blow.
So I got into it with this guy named David
Vass said, this guy that used to be relatable, but
now he's you know, hangs out with all those rich
Dodger players and all that. So he's lost his way
a little bit. So hanging out with him right and
talking to him about thirty minutes before the trade deadline,
and he's giving me the talking points. And I know
(04:58):
when I'm getting fed to talking points, uh, my radar
goes off and my BS detector goes off. So he's
trying to tell me that the Dodgers acquiring Tommy Edmund
from the Cardinals, who hasn't played at all. We talked
about this in the previous episode show and Michael Kopek
that these were going to be big additions for the Dodgers.
(05:19):
So he tried to tell me and he's like, well,
these are the purpose with the Dodgers needed a guy
who's been a career of failure on the mound, Michael Kopek,
and a guy coming off at Risten. So that triggered,
of course, a conniption fit by yours truly. Uh And Uh,
I've always thought when when people tell me stuff and
I knows just bogus information, I was like, but don't
(05:42):
if I'm holding a cupcake. I got a cupcake and
I'm holding it up, don't spit a loogie on the
cupcake and tell me you just put some frosting on
the cupcake. There's no there's no frosting there. Just spit
a loogie. That's what you did. And so I was
getting a lougie spin at my cupcake and I didn't
like that. And uh, I was getting bamboozled by this.
And then in the end the Dodgers d up doing
what they have to do they're in. This is the
(06:03):
Goldilock zone for the Dodgers. I don't know how long
it's gonna last. Maybe we'll last that long. But every
year they're a playoff team. Every year they're expected to
go to the World Series. That's the way it is
right now for the Dodgers, and it's something you have
to do in that culture of baseball because you have
to bring in reinforcements. You're expected to bring in reinforcements
(06:24):
because that is a vote of conference. If you don't
trade for a name brand player, a player that's perceived
to be great, it's a vote of no confidence from
the front office. So the Dodgers did what the front
office did what they had to do. They got the
biggest name starting pitcher available. He's going to La not
the Yankees, not the Phillies of the Red Sox. And
the Yankees are getting killed for not trading for Jack
(06:46):
Flaherty or someone who's the equivalent of Jack Flaherty. How
do I know that the Yankees have leaked to useful
idiots in the media that Flaherty has damaged goods and
that's why they didn't trade for him. And talking to
Mike Harmon in the hallways here and Jason Smith, we
were like, well, any pitcher in baseball, I could name
(07:07):
any pitcher in baseball, Like I said, that guy's gonna
bet hurt. And you know what, I'm gonna be right.
They all get hurt. Every one of them gets hurt.
The question is does Jack Flerty get hurt between now
and the playoffs or the end of the playoffs, or
is he get hurt next year or the year out.
He's at some point he's going to get hurt. That's garonteed,
that's guaranteed. So I gave the Dodgers a B plus
(07:27):
on the trade because they had to get a starting
pitcher and they did that. The only real downside is
whether or not this is a mirage the way he
has pitched in Michigan. This year, he's supposed to learn
some new pitch. We'll see if that works on the
West coast. But he had an ERA of almost five
last year, and he was traded, if I remember, from
(07:50):
the Cardinals to the Orioles at the end of last year,
and it didn't work out so well for him in Baltimore.
Dodgers to celebrate the fact that the front office went
out and made a big raid Dodgers had a five
to nothing lead and then jumped on the vomit comet
in San Diego and the Pod squad. It's so great
every time the Potteris beat the Dodgers like they won
(08:11):
the World Series. It's gotta be good for our friends
in San Diego. It's like the biggest thing in the word.
You beat the Dodgers. Oh my god, World Series. Potter's
made a bunch of trades also, which is one of
those things short term gain for long term pain. Because
the chatter is they're going for it this year because
they're gonna have to cut away the dead wood, if
you will, get rid of some of those big contracts
(08:31):
in the off season. So they're going all in now
knowing that they're going to have to get rid of
a bunch of those guys who they already have at
the end of the year. Now turning the page, we
talked about the Dodgers getting a bat plus. Now what
stood out post mortem on the trade deadline? What stood
out as the worst, most mind boggling trade of the
(08:52):
twenty twenty four deadline. So that one is easy, all right,
you open up the jewelry box and the team that
gets the Golden Fleece Award the Houston Astros. How great
is that? Completely horn swoggled, completely horn swoggled. You hate
to see it unless you don't. You hate to see
(09:14):
it unless you don't. For some reason, the den of
Iniquity decided that they were going to trade for u
See Kokuchi of the Blue Jays, a starting pitcher. Kokuchi
has the worst er in baseball since late May. That's
not my opinion, that is fact. It is on the record.
(09:35):
You can look up yourself. And so with this move Houston,
I don't know if they traded anything at all of value,
but it's not about that. Suppose that they did. I
don't know who these people are. I'm not going to
sit here and pretend like some of these hacked baseball
scribes that they know who these minor league players are.
What they usually do is they just go to the
top one hundred rating or whatever. So we traded the
number twenty two prospect, and that seems like it's a
(09:57):
mistake and all that, but I am rejoicing in schadenfreude
that the a holes made the worst trade. I love
that it's so perfect. Suppose they gave up some blue
chip scratcher tickets and all that for an aging pitcher
who is going to be a free agent at the
(10:17):
end of year. Now knowing the ass one thousand and two,
one thousand holes, the holes will likely end up teaching
him how to like scuff the ball or something like that,
or you come up with some cheat code down the line. Now,
last word, we quickly go to Chicago. I love the
drama does not involve the trade deadline up all the
White Sox made a number of trades as the Cubs did,
but the White Sox are currently on pace to finish
(10:41):
with the worst record in the modern era. Now the
modern era one hundred and sixty two game season, people
talk about the worst team of all time. They often
talk about there's a if you're an old school nerd,
you go back to the Cleveland Spiders back in the day.
But for most people it's the New York Mets, the
Casey Stango Mets the worst team. But the White Sox
are on pace to have the worst truk at the
(11:03):
current worst record for one hundred and sixty two games.
I believe it's in the Detroit Tigers, managed by Alan
Trammel years ago. But that's not the story. The story
here is we've learned now that the manager pedro Gerfall
of the White Sox pointed this out in a team
meeting after the All Star break, trying to motivate the team.
It's like a pep talk. Listen, you guys are on
(11:26):
pace to be the biggest suck bag baseball team of
all time. You'll always be remembered for that. You can
change that by winning some games. I'm paraphraser. You can
go out there and win some games and then you
will not have this stain, this skid mark on your resume.
So how did that go well? How about a mutiny
on the bounty or in this case, a mutiny on
the sinking chip. Why are White Sox players supposedly grumbling
(11:50):
this has gotten out in the public theater. Why are
White Sox players grumbling about a seemingly benign motivational attempt
by the White Sox manager. So the obvious answer here
is it hits close to home. I can't think of
any other answer to that. It hits close to home.
And all those White Sox players who have lived up
(12:12):
to the hype they were supposed to be bad and
they've been beyond expectations and they're right now praying at
the Church of victim with like there's somehow the victim.
How are you the victim? The manager doesn't play, you're
out there actually playing. You're the ones striking out, you're
the ones blowing safe, You're the ones having bad at
bats and all that is no accountability, chronic complainers the
(12:34):
White Sox, And how dare you point out the truth?
Who do you think you are? You can't tell us
that you might hurt us, We might need a therapy
dog or something like that. My god, shame on you.
Which the funniest part about this story out of the
White Sox camp is it actually validates the manager. I
don't know Pedro Griffall. I actually know somebody that knows
him pretty well thinks he's a good guy. But that's
(12:56):
aside the point. I don't know him, and I couldn't
tell you whether he could manage his way out of
a wet paper bag. However, the fact that he's trying
to motivate his team by saying, hey, if you play
a little better, play a little harder, et cetera, you'll
win a few games. You won't be the worst team
of all time, and the reaction is that these people
are pushing back against that. You're driving the diesel truck.
(13:17):
It's a mister softy truck, is what you're driving, the
diesel truck. Mister softy. It's soft serve is what it is.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
We are in the air emwhere listen and relax as

(15:04):
Justin in Cincinnati, who sends daily ten thousand offensive messages
ten thousand and listens NonStop twenty four hours a day.
I believe he's a lizard person. I've determined that Justin
and Cincinnati is a lizard person. He does not sleep,
does not happen, he doesn't eat. I know he does
(15:27):
do drugs and smoke. But other than that lizard person.
So I lead this hour will save the poopy waters
of France. They are still riding their bikes though around France,
spreading the e coli all over the patrons that are
at the Olympics there in Paris. But I lead this
hour from chit Caago yeah, got more money flying around
(15:50):
the NFL. Yet again, you get paid, you get paid.
Everybody gets paid. We so you didn't see the latest
on this, perhaps not. The Chicago football team has signed
wide receiver d J. Moore. He got paid, He got
the bag four year contract extension for DJ Moore. He's
(16:10):
the cat that came over from the Carolina Panthers and
the number one draft pick was flipped and that turned
out to be such a great pick for the Carolina Panthers.
They have their forever quarterback now and the Bears have
their forever wide receiver. So we are told the deal
is worth one hundred and ten million Dead presidents and
eighty two point six million gaonteed. The money train is
(16:35):
not slowing down around pro football. These are boom times
and they continue. So let us discuss this latest mega
contract that guys like Yafimi and g manch in Chicago
all excited about the Bears locking up one of their
key players. And the Bears one of the darling teams
you look at the gambling market, they're one of the
(16:56):
team's getting a lot of action that Caleb Williams is
going to be great and they're going to be a
playoff team in the NFC this year. So let's discuss
all of this. The question where are you at on
d J Moore and his massive payday is humongous payday
with the Bears. So I've got the general, Scotch tape
(17:20):
and pharmacist and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to give you meds, which
is what these Olympic athletes are going to need. They're
going to need, not garlic. I think this is beyond
garlic as they race around now number DJ Moore. Whatever
(17:43):
he's doing, and I'm not sure what he's doing, he's
doing it right. I know that I know he's doing
it right because his original deal ran through the twenty
twenty five season, so the Bears did not have to
give him anything, and they normally don't give people anything
they don't have to give something to So anyway, they say, well,
(18:05):
he was seventeenth among wide outs in money. It's a
big deal. Talk about that all the time. Where are
you ranked? Where am I ranked? By the way in
overnight radio, I don't want to know money, But now, Tenda,
DJ Moore is seventh on the Big board of receiver salaries.
(18:26):
He's number seven, So he went from seventeenth to seven.
And I've determined that Dj Moore is the general right
at General Mills. You talk about lucky charms, here a
big ball of lucky charms. He is going to be
the first, I believe non quarterback, was that first player
ever to have the first ten years of his NFL
(18:47):
career fully guaranteed or the most guaranteed money over the
first ten years of his career. I saw that stat
bouncing around. It's an insane stat. I'm paraphrasing it. I'm
paraphrasing it. But he's been able to do the impossible,
well just in Chicago alone, because these aren't your daddy
Chicago Bears, convincing the notoriously frugal franchise in the Windy
(19:10):
City to open up the check book and to pull
out the pen and write a check. And they've done it.
The biggest contract in Bears franchise history, Holy Walter Payton
and refrigerator Perry Batman and surrounding last season in Chicago
(19:30):
by Manure, It's like he was swimming in the river
in Peri last season. And Dj Moore coming off a
career season for the Chicago Bears, how good was He
had thirteen hundred receiving yards eight touchdowns despite being part
of a Bears team led by a guy who stinks
(19:52):
in justin fields. They had the twenty seventh ranked passing offense.
And keep in mind, the Bears did not even have
justin f They had Tyler Badgin I believe was his
name something like that, who is the backup who came
in there and played a few games. But there you go.
So now it's Caleb Williams. He's in the big chair.
Caleb Williams. Now speaking of that, the eighty two point
(20:15):
six million guaranteed is actually the third most so while
overall he's seventh on the wide receiver money list. DJ
Moore now moves on up to a penthouse in the
sky on the Upper East Side. He is now trailing
only Justin Jefferson and A. J. Brown in guaranteed money.
Which is the most important thing? Am I wrong in
saying that? Is that a bad take? The most important
(20:37):
thing is the guaranteed money. Yeah, to me, that's it
guaranteed money because most of it's not in the NFL.
Right now, Pastree, we stay in Chicago, we stay with
the Bears and we're gonna talk about Caleb Williams for
a second. The number overall pick, So Caleb was what
(20:59):
do you think about the story bouncing around that Caleb
Williams has requested his Bears teammates clean up after themselves
better in the locker room, that they're disheveled, and they're
putting pressure on the cleaning crew that should not be
put on them. So the story maybe it's a fairy tale.
I don't know. I'm not there. I'm hearing it secondhand,
(21:20):
but that Caleb Williams is going around telling his teammates, say,
you got to clean up after yourself? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
So my answer to that, you know, what do we
think of it? I love it. I think it's great.
It's very relatable. It is relatable. I say, bravo, Right,
you're not porky pig, so stop acting like your porky pig. Right.
And you see this a lot with people who are
entitled or think they're entitled. Maybe they're not even entitled.
They don't like to pick up after themselves. And I say,
(21:48):
good job by Caleb, if this report is accurate, A
good job by him, And I would recommend that he
go out and get some scotch tape. Get the scotch
tape and put your mother doesn't work here, sign up
right on top of the microwave in the break room
in the bear's locker rooms. Put it right there. So
your mother don't work here, So clean up after yourself.
(22:08):
What's wrong with you? And I do relate to this
story because coming in here on Sunday into Monday, they
do not, for some reason decide. I guess nobody makes
trash on the weekends. They don't clean up the trash
around here on the weekends. So I'll come in here
Sunday night in the Monday to start my work week
surrounded by trash. Yeah, there's like a half eaten tuna
sandwich over there, there's candy wrappers over there, there's like
(22:30):
bottles of I don't even know what over here. Yeah,
these schmndricks, I don't know who's leaving all the food
they're eating very well. I know it's very difficult to
do a three or four hour radio show and not eat.
How can anyone do that? Yeah? So no wonder the
cockroaches more on, like the sixth or seventh generation of cockroaches, right,
now final point, we head to so col In, Thenard Auxnard,
(22:58):
north of where we're broadcasting for I'm right now, but
not that far away. It's up the one oh one
freeway here in southern California. And did the Cowboys make
a big mip? Now? Did they trade for something? No?
Did they sign something?
Speaker 5 (23:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
They did not. What is this all about? We're still
going to pay a visit to Jerry's West Coast world.
The Cowboys training camp attendants said to be ridculously low.
It's ridiculously low that the normal packed stands to watch
the Cowboys have been a Western gold at western ghost town,
(23:39):
like an old Western ghost town at this point. That's
what's going on. So is this something or is this nothing?
Is it something or nothing? So it is absolutely something.
I'm talking about it, so I think it's something. I'm
bringing it up here with you. And this is after
a psycho analysis of this story. I have determined that
(24:03):
this is a byproduct of past actions. And if Jerry
Jones wants to know exactly how this happened, he should
call his pharmacist. Get the pharmacist on the phone. I
know he has one. This is what's known as a
side effect. This is what happens when you don't get
the big free agent edition of the offseason, when you
(24:24):
don't trade for someone of name brand value. This is
a result. Right, There's not a lot of juice in
the bottle. There's not a lot of buzz about this
vintage of the Cowboys. They choked last year and it's
pretty much the gang is back together yet again. They
have not broken up the band, unless you think that
(24:46):
linebacker Eric Kendricks, who was one of the outside players
they brought in from the Chargers, is going to bring
a conga line of fans with it. Maybe he thought
that the Zeke Elliott fan club would be back. They
brought him into Dallas again from the Patriots. But the
fans have spoke, and the most important thing, the most
(25:08):
valuable thing you have and I have, is our time.
And so the fans have spoken and they've said, hey,
I'm not going to give you my time right now. Well,
it's during the week, it's hot. It's always during the week,
it's always hot, and they're always packing in the fans.
So the fans are saying, whoop, d damn do is
what the Cowboy fans are saying. So that that, I
(25:31):
promise you. Jerry Jones when he's out there and he's
looking around, he's seeing a lot of empty seats at
Cowboy training camp. He's like, what's going on? I don't
I don't get it. I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Here we go, how about that?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I haven't seen anyone die yet in the triathlon running
through the poopy water. They're still hour and fifty two
minutes right now, koopolo? What do we have?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
A reporter from The Athletic predicted this week that after
the extensions for Tua and Jordan Love, that Dak Prescott
will be the first quarterback to break the sixty million
per year mark.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Ben, do you think that'll happen? Yes, yes, I think. Listen,
he shouldn't. There's no way I would give Dak presk
get that money. But whether the Cowboys give him the money,
or the Raiders or somebody else, there's a sucker born
every minute, and a lot of them are NFL executives
and they have money to burn. Yeah, no one's getting
less they're getting more and more and more. Now, if
(26:33):
the Cowboys go out and win four games, I will
revisit this, but at this point, if you ask me, yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Next, Kyler Murray spoke with reporters this week and said
that the sense of urgency is there to start winning.
Ben not much as expected from the Cardinals this year. Yeah,
how many wins do you think that he gets?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Well? The good thing is when Kyler talks to the media,
it's a short conversation. So that's the good news there.
No the Cardinals. If everything goes right, I'll be Benny
bright Side here with the Cardinals. Let's say I have
too many injuries and they have an easy schedule. I
think they can win five games. I think I see
that team going five and twelve. That's a good year,
right if you're dyslexic.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Next, a video of Anthony Edwards getting hyped over Olympic
table tennis made the rounds on Monday as he watched
live in Paris.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
And then when the games come to Los Angeles, are
there any events that you would go check out other
than basketball?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah? So my wife, who may or man I be listening.
She's driving hopeful work. She loves the Olympics. She's not
a big sportsman, but she loves the Olympics. So I'm
guessing I'll be dragged to like swimming or you know,
some of the Olympic events that are close to where
I live. So, yes, do I want to go. I
was a kid, I went to Olympic baseball. I went
to Olympic basketball when I was a little kid in
(27:43):
the eighty four Olympics. I loved it. But yeah, I'll
go to some How do we do code? You pass
a second? So well put it on the bar.

Sorry?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Pin?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Should we get into some love?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Is it love? All right? JT the Wingman This is
actually an appropriate question. We're meeting fans of the show
on Saturday in Vegas. We're gonna be there. JT the
Wingman says, is getting married in Las Vegas a good thing.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
Yes, I've had friends elope randomly in Vegas, and I've
had friends actually plan weddings in Vegas. Boats have been great.
My friend Chapel with Elvis.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Okay, so I was gonna ask you because I've had
some of my I went to a cousins. I have
two cousins that got married in Vegas and then but
they didn't get married like a shotgun wedding like the
Elvis thing. They got very like at the hotel.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Oh yeah, no, theirs, what's real? And I actually got
to do a whole bride's main thing that was really fun.
But you no, getting married in Vegas is perfectly fine
if that works for you and your lover. Whatever works
for you.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Guys, you're good with it. Yeah, ferg dog right, since
there is there anything wrong with breaking up with a girl,
so you can ask out her best friend how long
you have to I think the better question is how
long does one have to wait when breaking up?
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Well, you know, if you're lucky, you don't have to
break up at all, and maybe you can get them
to love each other enough you can date both of them.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
We live in the real world. Oh but what you
heard me, did you say what I think you said?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Larey is I'm not kidding?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Really, what world are you outside the world I come from.
I don't know what world you're living in.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
But no, if you don't think your girlfriend will be
okay with you being in love with her best friend,
you should probably figure out which one you like more,
and uh also see if the relationship would be able
to be sustained, because yeah, a lot of girlfriends won't
want to come between their friendship or maybe they do.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Eh Ben's mad Jack writes in but we will take
a call or too, if you want to call an
eight seven seven ninety nine A Fox with the Queen
of Hearts with Lorena, mad Jack says, should one act
swiftly with love at first sight or take the time
to get to know someone better over time? Yeah? Well,
(31:31):
if there is really something such as love at first sight,
then why would you bother waiting because you love right?
Speaker 7 (31:36):
No, I think it's more lust at first sight, Ben,
There's nothing wrong with that. No, no, But also usually
when you lust it first, you realize you really don't
have a lot in comment after that. So if you
want your number to go up and your connection to
stay small. Maybe you can go at it faster, but
if you really want a connection, I suggest you Wait.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Are you talking about the scoreboard?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah, yeah, Well if you're asked guys, I think the
guys are gonna they don't want their number to go up.
They don't. Yeah, I don't really worry about it.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
I'm sure they don't care.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
But in regular sitution, they want to be like Wilt
Chamberlain is what they want to be. Like, how many
can I get? You know, you know, Wilt Chamberlain.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
What did he do?
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Will Chamberlain of a great all time NBA place. He
wrote a book in the late nineties, said he slept
with twenty thousand women. Stop it, that's what he claimed.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Really, how many women is that a day?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Well, a friend of mine, Doug Gricoryan who used to
be a radio guy, Doug did the math. He covered
Wilt Chamberlain. We played for the lake. He said, no way,
the math doesn't work. It's impossible bull crap, because it
would have to be like two or three a day
during the you know, the season, and the math travel.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Crazy blood flow for that.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Anyways, next, well, you'd have to have available people that
would be willing to do it. That would be the
other problem. That would be uh, that would be a
problem as well.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
My hometown.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
All right, well, hollering James called up. You know this
guy definitely needs love advice, hollering James. Yes, Hollering James
are on with the Queen of Hearts.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Hey, queens, I'm gonna ask you a question. How come
I wear around people so much like Ben and some
of the other callers that I just don't get appreciated?
Are the much love that I need? I need to
find love somewhere, not to pay for it, but to
find true love. I reached you out of the wrong places.
How do I reach out to the right places? I
(33:23):
need to go to the library, the bookstore.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I need to read the library. You always find love
at the library there.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
You know.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
I do suggest just getting out in general, finding love
is really hard because that you know, you have to
actually make a connection, and if you're not good at
connecting with people face to face, that can be a problem.
I think I've said this to another listener before. Online
dating might be your thing. You can catfish people. Catfishing
does really well for a lot of people. You don't
have to show your face and you still get affection.
You just no one's gonna hug you.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Are you recommending catfishing? Is that if it's your only option?
Speaker 7 (33:55):
Ben, Yes, I am suggesting catfish.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Okay, that's why she's the queen of our real quick
to King Rory quickly says, do women find two men
kissing a turn on? Like men find two women kissing eternal?
Speaker 7 (34:08):
I can't say for everyone. Sexuality is fluid. I think
sexuality in general like something that's you see something I
can get a little feisty, like.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Ooh, I'm going that as a no, I'm going I'm
going I'm going no on that one. I think wait
the heart stright there.
Speaker 2 (34:21):

up with? Avery? You got me ben, Eddie, Lorena or Koopaloo.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
I'll go Eddie.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
All right, it's a bad choice. Sit down, put an
L next to your name, and milkman Mike, who you

Speaker 5 (36:24):
Can't be associated with the cheetter, so let's go with
Justin Cooper.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Wow, well done. Now it's a good choice. You know
I can't say what I want to Saturday, I'll get
all right. There's a list of words one to ten.
We start out with ten points for every single word Avery.
You were on the air. First. Pick a number one
to ten. There will be a word associated. We're obviously
(36:49):
playing with synonyms here, so you got to figure out
what it is. Avery. Pick your number, pick your poison. Uh,
I go at number four, number four, our number four.
Go ahead, there, Eddie, number four.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
Let's try adhesive.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yes, wow, unreal. I thought for sure tape was coming.
That's not that impressive. I'm not that impressed. All right,
Milkman Mike. Go ahead, Milkman Mike. Please pick a number
one to ten, but not four. Number three. Uh, let's
try is the clue coup. Let's try fortress. That's a
(37:40):
good one. Yeah, that's a good one. All right, Yeah,
that was a good one. I'll do ten. Ten is
the score. We go back to Avery, a back and
forth contest. Right now, Avery, you're up picking number one
to ten, but not three or four, number one, number one.
Speaker 8 (37:57):
Okay, all right, the clues, yeah, I think so. The
clue is animation.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Cartoon.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yes, all right. This is password for idiots, and you're
up twenty. You are. That's why it's password for idiots.
That's my point. Anyway, a milkman, you're with Coop and
you can't pick one, three or four, but any other
number up till ten, number six, number six, okay.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Six, and you see if this is one word?
Speaker 1 (38:31):
All right, okay, right now, I'm the judge. Oh oh, okay,
hold on, all right, let me check. I think that's uh,
I think that's two words. Yeah, I think it's two words. Loraina, Yeah, no,
you know what you know, it's not it's not it's
it's it's okay, I'll use I'll use that one, then
use it. Go all right, hair piece okay, oh body blow, Bondy.
Speaker 6 (38:58):
Did you say that because you heard Lorrain saying that
in the background.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Go ahead, Eddie, you're up. It's right. There, it's teed
up for you. Well you you heard the clues? I
will I will just say woman, what yes? But you yeah,
you could have said to Pey, wouldn't that have been?
Speaker 8 (39:23):
But he just said to his clue was he guess
was to pay?
Speaker 1 (39:26):
All right? Whatever? Fine, I wasn't listening. What is the score?
I don't remember what is this? I don't think you're winning?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (39:33):
I am?
Speaker 8 (39:33):
I've gotten everyone right so.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Well, twenty nine all right, and we are out of time.
We're out of.
Speaker 8 (39:42):
Another great win by me.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
We're not really out of time. I'm kind of out
of time. We had a hard network out that trying
and wants Eddie to win. I don't want Eddie to win,
just wants it to edit. He's not a part of it.

So play the hit, small man, play the hits. Big
story the baseball trade deadline which has come and gone,
and I had an unusual treat that I filled in
(01:57):
locally here in La So I was on during the
day up to the trade deadline and high drama on
the transaction wire. If you were not paying attention. We
don't call it when you do overnights. It's not moonlighting,
it's daylighting. So I was daylighting. People were ture the
day are bad people, man, But I was daylighting. And
I happen to be doing stuff on the Dodger station
(02:21):
counting down to the trade deadline, and there was a
whole lot of nothing. There were people being traded that
we'd never heard of. We had to go to like
Baseball Reference dot Com to fight out who they were.
It's a bad sign. And if you were not keeping track.
The biggest name that was traded in the context of
this season, it happened with three minutes to go before
(02:42):
the deadline. Three minutes the Doyers made a late play
for a starting pitcher who will likely likely end up
starting playoff games for the Dodgers. But they made a
trade for Jack Flahert who's from LA from the LA area.
But Jack Flaherty, that move coming down the pike there
(03:05):
from the Detroit Tigers. The Dodgers and a couple of
wishes in a bottle to Detroit. That's all they had
to give up, a couple of those minor league players
and Flary twenty eight. He had been bad up until
this year, but at age twenty eight he had put
it all together there for the Detroit baseball team and
had an ERA of under three for the Tigers, and
(03:29):
bunch of strikeouts and all kinds of good nerd numbers
that people seem to like. A lot like that, a
lot those numbers. So let us discuss the question. We'll
talk about other things as well, but the question, what
is the malor report card on the Jack Flaherty trade
to the Doyers? Is that the biggest name that changed team.
So on this one, I've got cupcake, jewelry box, and
(03:53):
diesel truck. Will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make the poopy of Perie is
what we're going to make. Are they swimming in that
right now? Is that where the Olympics. So they are
swimming in the poopy water right now. Oh man, the
eat coal I is coming through the TV as we
speak right now. All right, so ay, My first thought
(04:15):
on the Jack Flaherty trade to the Dodgers is the
report card is it's not an A I was going
to give the Dodgers today. Originally my original thought was, hey,
it's an all right, I'm giving her a day. But
then after a thorough minutes long Mallor investigation, my final
grade is B plus. He probably didn't hear this, but
(04:37):
I'll give you the play by play, the blow by blow.
So I got into it with this guy named David
Vass said, this guy that used to be relatable, but
now he's you know, hangs out with all those rich
Dodger players and all that. So he's lost his way
a little bit. So hanging out with him right and
talking to him about thirty minutes before the trade deadline,
and he's giving me the talking points. And I know
(04:58):
when I'm getting fed to talking points, uh, my radar
goes off and my BS detector goes off. So he's
trying to tell me that the Dodgers acquiring Tommy Edmund
from the Cardinals, who hasn't played at all. We talked
about this in the previous episode show and Michael Kopek
that these were going to be big additions for the Dodgers.
(05:19):
So he tried to tell me and he's like, well,
these are the purpose with the Dodgers needed a guy
who's been a career of failure on the mound, Michael Kopek,
and a guy coming off at Risten. So that triggered,
of course, a conniption fit by yours truly. Uh And Uh,
I've always thought when when people tell me stuff and
I knows just bogus information, I was like, but don't
(05:42):
if I'm holding a cupcake. I got a cupcake and
I'm holding it up, don't spit a loogie on the
cupcake and tell me you just put some frosting on
the cupcake. There's no there's no frosting there. Just spit
a loogie. That's what you did. And so I was
getting a lougie spin at my cupcake and I didn't
like that. And uh, I was getting bamboozled by this.
And then in the end the Dodgers d up doing
what they have to do they're in. This is the
(06:03):
Goldilock zone for the Dodgers. I don't know how long
it's gonna last. Maybe we'll last that long. But every
year they're a playoff team. Every year they're expected to
go to the World Series. That's the way it is
right now for the Dodgers, and it's something you have
to do in that culture of baseball because you have
to bring in reinforcements. You're expected to bring in reinforcements
(06:24):
because that is a vote of conference. If you don't
trade for a name brand player, a player that's perceived
to be great, it's a vote of no confidence from
the front office. So the Dodgers did what the front
office did what they had to do. They got the
biggest name starting pitcher available. He's going to La not
the Yankees, not the Phillies of the Red Sox. And
the Yankees are getting killed for not trading for Jack
(06:46):
Flaherty or someone who's the equivalent of Jack Flaherty. How
do I know that the Yankees have leaked to useful
idiots in the media that Flaherty has damaged goods and
that's why they didn't trade for him. And talking to
Mike Harmon in the hallways here and Jason Smith, we
were like, well, any pitcher in baseball, I could name
(07:07):
any pitcher in baseball, Like I said, that guy's gonna
bet hurt. And you know what, I'm gonna be right.
They all get hurt. Every one of them gets hurt.
The question is does Jack Flerty get hurt between now
and the playoffs or the end of the playoffs, or
is he get hurt next year or the year out.
He's at some point he's going to get hurt. That's garonteed,
that's guaranteed. So I gave the Dodgers a B plus
(07:27):
on the trade because they had to get a starting
pitcher and they did that. The only real downside is
whether or not this is a mirage the way he
has pitched in Michigan. This year, he's supposed to learn
some new pitch. We'll see if that works on the
West coast. But he had an ERA of almost five
last year, and he was traded, if I remember, from
(07:50):
the Cardinals to the Orioles at the end of last year,
and it didn't work out so well for him in Baltimore.
Dodgers to celebrate the fact that the front office went
out and made a big raid Dodgers had a five
to nothing lead and then jumped on the vomit comet
in San Diego and the Pod squad. It's so great
every time the Potteris beat the Dodgers like they won
(08:11):
the World Series. It's gotta be good for our friends
in San Diego. It's like the biggest thing in the word.
You beat the Dodgers. Oh my god, World Series. Potter's
made a bunch of trades also, which is one of
those things short term gain for long term pain. Because
the chatter is they're going for it this year because
they're gonna have to cut away the dead wood, if
you will, get rid of some of those big contracts
(08:31):
in the off season. So they're going all in now
knowing that they're going to have to get rid of
a bunch of those guys who they already have at
the end of the year. Now turning the page, we
talked about the Dodgers getting a bat plus. Now what
stood out post mortem on the trade deadline? What stood
out as the worst, most mind boggling trade of the
(08:52):
twenty twenty four deadline. So that one is easy, all right,
you open up the jewelry box and the team that
gets the Golden Fleece Award the Houston Astros. How great
is that? Completely horn swoggled, completely horn swoggled. You hate
to see it unless you don't. You hate to see
(09:14):
it unless you don't. For some reason, the den of
Iniquity decided that they were going to trade for u
See Kokuchi of the Blue Jays, a starting pitcher. Kokuchi
has the worst er in baseball since late May. That's
not my opinion, that is fact. It is on the record.
(09:35):
You can look up yourself. And so with this move Houston,
I don't know if they traded anything at all of value,
but it's not about that. Suppose that they did. I
don't know who these people are. I'm not going to
sit here and pretend like some of these hacked baseball
scribes that they know who these minor league players are.
What they usually do is they just go to the
top one hundred rating or whatever. So we traded the
number twenty two prospect, and that seems like it's a
(09:57):
mistake and all that, but I am rejoicing in schadenfreude
that the a holes made the worst trade. I love
that it's so perfect. Suppose they gave up some blue
chip scratcher tickets and all that for an aging pitcher
who is going to be a free agent at the
(10:17):
end of year. Now knowing the ass one thousand and two,
one thousand holes, the holes will likely end up teaching
him how to like scuff the ball or something like that,
or you come up with some cheat code down the line. Now,
last word, we quickly go to Chicago. I love the
drama does not involve the trade deadline up all the
White Sox made a number of trades as the Cubs did,
but the White Sox are currently on pace to finish
(10:41):
with the worst record in the modern era. Now the
modern era one hundred and sixty two game season, people
talk about the worst team of all time. They often
talk about there's a if you're an old school nerd,
you go back to the Cleveland Spiders back in the day.
But for most people it's the New York Mets, the
Casey Stango Mets the worst team. But the White Sox
are on pace to have the worst truk at the
(11:03):
current worst record for one hundred and sixty two games.
I believe it's in the Detroit Tigers, managed by Alan
Trammel years ago. But that's not the story. The story
here is we've learned now that the manager pedro Gerfall
of the White Sox pointed this out in a team
meeting after the All Star break, trying to motivate the team.
It's like a pep talk. Listen, you guys are on
(11:26):
pace to be the biggest suck bag baseball team of
all time. You'll always be remembered for that. You can
change that by winning some games. I'm paraphraser. You can
go out there and win some games and then you
will not have this stain, this skid mark on your resume.
So how did that go well? How about a mutiny
on the bounty or in this case, a mutiny on
the sinking chip. Why are White Sox players supposedly grumbling
(11:50):
this has gotten out in the public theater. Why are
White Sox players grumbling about a seemingly benign motivational attempt
by the White Sox manager. So the obvious answer here
is it hits close to home. I can't think of
any other answer to that. It hits close to home.
And all those White Sox players who have lived up
(12:12):
to the hype they were supposed to be bad and
they've been beyond expectations and they're right now praying at
the Church of victim with like there's somehow the victim.
How are you the victim? The manager doesn't play, you're
out there actually playing. You're the ones striking out, you're
the ones blowing safe, You're the ones having bad at
bats and all that is no accountability, chronic complainers the
(12:34):
White Sox, And how dare you point out the truth?
Who do you think you are? You can't tell us
that you might hurt us, We might need a therapy
dog or something like that. My god, shame on you.
Which the funniest part about this story out of the
White Sox camp is it actually validates the manager. I
don't know Pedro Griffall. I actually know somebody that knows
him pretty well thinks he's a good guy. But that's
(12:56):
aside the point. I don't know him, and I couldn't
tell you whether he could manage his way out of
a wet paper bag. However, the fact that he's trying
to motivate his team by saying, hey, if you play
a little better, play a little harder, et cetera, you'll
win a few games. You won't be the worst team
of all time, and the reaction is that these people
are pushing back against that. You're driving the diesel truck.
(13:17):
It's a mister softy truck, is what you're driving, the
diesel truck. Mister softy. It's soft serve is what it is.

hour of The Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
We are in the air emwhere listen and relax as
we elevate your taste buds and ear drums coast to coast,

powerful microphones of fsre ammating live from the Waltz and

(15:04):
Justin in Cincinnati, who sends daily ten thousand offensive messages
ten thousand and listens NonStop twenty four hours a day.
I believe he's a lizard person. I've determined that Justin
and Cincinnati is a lizard person. He does not sleep,
does not happen, he doesn't eat. I know he does
(15:27):
do drugs and smoke. But other than that lizard person.
So I lead this hour will save the poopy waters
of France. They are still riding their bikes though around France,
spreading the e coli all over the patrons that are
at the Olympics there in Paris. But I lead this
hour from chit Caago yeah, got more money flying around
(15:50):
the NFL. Yet again, you get paid, you get paid.
Everybody gets paid. We so you didn't see the latest
on this, perhaps not. The Chicago football team has signed
wide receiver d J. Moore. He got paid, He got
the bag four year contract extension for DJ Moore. He's
(16:10):
the cat that came over from the Carolina Panthers and
the number one draft pick was flipped and that turned
out to be such a great pick for the Carolina Panthers.
They have their forever quarterback now and the Bears have
their forever wide receiver. So we are told the deal
is worth one hundred and ten million Dead presidents and
eighty two point six million gaonteed. The money train is
(16:35):
not slowing down around pro football. These are boom times
and they continue. So let us discuss this latest mega
contract that guys like Yafimi and g manch in Chicago
all excited about the Bears locking up one of their
key players. And the Bears one of the darling teams
you look at the gambling market, they're one of the
(16:56):
team's getting a lot of action that Caleb Williams is
going to be great and they're going to be a
playoff team in the NFC this year. So let's discuss
all of this. The question where are you at on
d J Moore and his massive payday is humongous payday
with the Bears. So I've got the general, Scotch tape
(17:20):
and pharmacist and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to give you meds, which
is what these Olympic athletes are going to need. They're
going to need, not garlic. I think this is beyond
garlic as they race around now number DJ Moore. Whatever
(17:43):
he's doing, and I'm not sure what he's doing, he's
doing it right. I know that I know he's doing
it right because his original deal ran through the twenty
twenty five season, so the Bears did not have to
give him anything, and they normally don't give people anything
they don't have to give something to So anyway, they say, well,
(18:05):
he was seventeenth among wide outs in money. It's a
big deal. Talk about that all the time. Where are
you ranked? Where am I ranked? By the way in
overnight radio, I don't want to know money, But now, Tenda,
DJ Moore is seventh on the Big board of receiver salaries.
(18:26):
He's number seven, So he went from seventeenth to seven.
And I've determined that Dj Moore is the general right
at General Mills. You talk about lucky charms, here a
big ball of lucky charms. He is going to be
the first, I believe non quarterback, was that first player
ever to have the first ten years of his NFL
(18:47):
career fully guaranteed or the most guaranteed money over the
first ten years of his career. I saw that stat
bouncing around. It's an insane stat. I'm paraphrasing it. I'm
paraphrasing it. But he's been able to do the impossible,
well just in Chicago alone, because these aren't your daddy
Chicago Bears, convincing the notoriously frugal franchise in the Windy
(19:10):
City to open up the check book and to pull
out the pen and write a check. And they've done it.
The biggest contract in Bears franchise history, Holy Walter Payton
and refrigerator Perry Batman and surrounding last season in Chicago
(19:30):
by Manure, It's like he was swimming in the river
in Peri last season. And Dj Moore coming off a
career season for the Chicago Bears, how good was He
had thirteen hundred receiving yards eight touchdowns despite being part
of a Bears team led by a guy who stinks
(19:52):
in justin fields. They had the twenty seventh ranked passing offense.
And keep in mind, the Bears did not even have
justin f They had Tyler Badgin I believe was his
name something like that, who is the backup who came
in there and played a few games. But there you go.
So now it's Caleb Williams. He's in the big chair.
Caleb Williams. Now speaking of that, the eighty two point
(20:15):
six million guaranteed is actually the third most so while
overall he's seventh on the wide receiver money list. DJ
Moore now moves on up to a penthouse in the
sky on the Upper East Side. He is now trailing
only Justin Jefferson and A. J. Brown in guaranteed money.
Which is the most important thing? Am I wrong in
saying that? Is that a bad take? The most important
(20:37):
thing is the guaranteed money. Yeah, to me, that's it
guaranteed money because most of it's not in the NFL.
Right now, Pastree, we stay in Chicago, we stay with
the Bears and we're gonna talk about Caleb Williams for
a second. The number overall pick, So Caleb was what
(20:59):
do you think about the story bouncing around that Caleb
Williams has requested his Bears teammates clean up after themselves
better in the locker room, that they're disheveled, and they're
putting pressure on the cleaning crew that should not be
put on them. So the story maybe it's a fairy tale.
I don't know. I'm not there. I'm hearing it secondhand,
(21:20):
but that Caleb Williams is going around telling his teammates, say,
you got to clean up after yourself? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
So my answer to that, you know, what do we
think of it? I love it. I think it's great.
It's very relatable. It is relatable. I say, bravo, Right,
you're not porky pig, so stop acting like your porky pig. Right.
And you see this a lot with people who are
entitled or think they're entitled. Maybe they're not even entitled.
They don't like to pick up after themselves. And I say,
(21:48):
good job by Caleb, if this report is accurate, A
good job by him, And I would recommend that he
go out and get some scotch tape. Get the scotch
tape and put your mother doesn't work here, sign up
right on top of the microwave in the break room
in the bear's locker rooms. Put it right there. So
your mother don't work here, So clean up after yourself.
(22:08):
What's wrong with you? And I do relate to this
story because coming in here on Sunday into Monday, they
do not, for some reason decide. I guess nobody makes
trash on the weekends. They don't clean up the trash
around here on the weekends. So I'll come in here
Sunday night in the Monday to start my work week
surrounded by trash. Yeah, there's like a half eaten tuna
sandwich over there, there's candy wrappers over there, there's like
(22:30):
bottles of I don't even know what over here. Yeah,
these schmndricks, I don't know who's leaving all the food
they're eating very well. I know it's very difficult to
do a three or four hour radio show and not eat.
How can anyone do that? Yeah? So no wonder the
cockroaches more on, like the sixth or seventh generation of cockroaches, right,
now final point, we head to so col In, Thenard Auxnard,
(22:58):
north of where we're broadcasting for I'm right now, but
not that far away. It's up the one oh one
freeway here in southern California. And did the Cowboys make
a big mip? Now? Did they trade for something? No?
Did they sign something?
Speaker 5 (23:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
They did not. What is this all about? We're still
going to pay a visit to Jerry's West Coast world.
The Cowboys training camp attendants said to be ridculously low.
It's ridiculously low that the normal packed stands to watch
the Cowboys have been a Western gold at western ghost town,
(23:39):
like an old Western ghost town at this point. That's
what's going on. So is this something or is this nothing?
Is it something or nothing? So it is absolutely something.
I'm talking about it, so I think it's something. I'm
bringing it up here with you. And this is after
a psycho analysis of this story. I have determined that
(24:03):
this is a byproduct of past actions. And if Jerry
Jones wants to know exactly how this happened, he should
call his pharmacist. Get the pharmacist on the phone. I
know he has one. This is what's known as a
side effect. This is what happens when you don't get
the big free agent edition of the offseason, when you
(24:24):
don't trade for someone of name brand value. This is
a result. Right, There's not a lot of juice in
the bottle. There's not a lot of buzz about this
vintage of the Cowboys. They choked last year and it's
pretty much the gang is back together yet again. They
have not broken up the band, unless you think that
(24:46):
linebacker Eric Kendricks, who was one of the outside players
they brought in from the Chargers, is going to bring
a conga line of fans with it. Maybe he thought
that the Zeke Elliott fan club would be back. They
brought him into Dallas again from the Patriots. But the
fans have spoke, and the most important thing, the most
(25:08):
valuable thing you have and I have, is our time.
And so the fans have spoken and they've said, hey,
I'm not going to give you my time right now. Well,
it's during the week, it's hot. It's always during the week,
it's always hot, and they're always packing in the fans.
So the fans are saying, whoop, d damn do is
what the Cowboy fans are saying. So that that, I
(25:31):
promise you. Jerry Jones when he's out there and he's
looking around, he's seeing a lot of empty seats at
Cowboy training camp. He's like, what's going on? I don't
I don't get it. I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Here we go, how about that?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I haven't seen anyone die yet in the triathlon running
through the poopy water. They're still hour and fifty two
minutes right now, koopolo? What do we have?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
A reporter from The Athletic predicted this week that after
the extensions for Tua and Jordan Love, that Dak Prescott
will be the first quarterback to break the sixty million
per year mark.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Ben, do you think that'll happen? Yes, yes, I think. Listen,
he shouldn't. There's no way I would give Dak presk
get that money. But whether the Cowboys give him the money,
or the Raiders or somebody else, there's a sucker born
every minute, and a lot of them are NFL executives
and they have money to burn. Yeah, no one's getting
less they're getting more and more and more. Now, if
(26:33):
the Cowboys go out and win four games, I will
revisit this, but at this point, if you ask me, yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Next, Kyler Murray spoke with reporters this week and said
that the sense of urgency is there to start winning.
Ben not much as expected from the Cardinals this year. Yeah,
how many wins do you think that he gets?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Well? The good thing is when Kyler talks to the media,
it's a short conversation. So that's the good news there.
No the Cardinals. If everything goes right, I'll be Benny
bright Side here with the Cardinals. Let's say I have
too many injuries and they have an easy schedule. I
think they can win five games. I think I see
that team going five and twelve. That's a good year,
right if you're dyslexic.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Next, a video of Anthony Edwards getting hyped over Olympic
table tennis made the rounds on Monday as he watched
live in Paris.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
And then when the games come to Los Angeles, are
there any events that you would go check out other
than basketball?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah? So my wife, who may or man I be listening.
She's driving hopeful work. She loves the Olympics. She's not
a big sportsman, but she loves the Olympics. So I'm
guessing I'll be dragged to like swimming or you know,
some of the Olympic events that are close to where
I live. So, yes, do I want to go. I
was a kid, I went to Olympic baseball. I went
to Olympic basketball when I was a little kid in
(27:43):
the eighty four Olympics. I loved it. But yeah, I'll
go to some How do we do code? You pass
a second? So well put it on the bar.

Speaker 8 (28:54):
He asked me what I should get and I didn't

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Pin?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Should we get into some love?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Is it love? All right? JT the Wingman This is
actually an appropriate question. We're meeting fans of the show
on Saturday in Vegas. We're gonna be there. JT the
Wingman says, is getting married in Las Vegas a good thing.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
Yes, I've had friends elope randomly in Vegas, and I've
had friends actually plan weddings in Vegas. Boats have been great.
My friend Chapel with Elvis.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Okay, so I was gonna ask you because I've had
some of my I went to a cousins. I have
two cousins that got married in Vegas and then but
they didn't get married like a shotgun wedding like the
Elvis thing. They got very like at the hotel.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Oh yeah, no, theirs, what's real? And I actually got
to do a whole bride's main thing that was really fun.
But you no, getting married in Vegas is perfectly fine
if that works for you and your lover. Whatever works
for you.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Guys, you're good with it. Yeah, ferg dog right, since
there is there anything wrong with breaking up with a girl,
so you can ask out her best friend how long
you have to I think the better question is how
long does one have to wait when breaking up?
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Well, you know, if you're lucky, you don't have to
break up at all, and maybe you can get them
to love each other enough you can date both of them.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
We live in the real world. Oh but what you
heard me, did you say what I think you said?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Larey is I'm not kidding?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Really, what world are you outside the world I come from.
I don't know what world you're living in.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
But no, if you don't think your girlfriend will be
okay with you being in love with her best friend,
you should probably figure out which one you like more,
and uh also see if the relationship would be able
to be sustained, because yeah, a lot of girlfriends won't
want to come between their friendship or maybe they do.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Eh Ben's mad Jack writes in but we will take
a call or too, if you want to call an
eight seven seven ninety nine A Fox with the Queen
of Hearts with Lorena, mad Jack says, should one act
swiftly with love at first sight or take the time
to get to know someone better over time? Yeah? Well,
(31:31):
if there is really something such as love at first sight,
then why would you bother waiting because you love right?
Speaker 7 (31:36):
No, I think it's more lust at first sight, Ben,
There's nothing wrong with that. No, no, But also usually
when you lust it first, you realize you really don't
have a lot in comment after that. So if you
want your number to go up and your connection to
stay small. Maybe you can go at it faster, but
if you really want a connection, I suggest you Wait.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Are you talking about the scoreboard?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah, yeah, Well if you're asked guys, I think the
guys are gonna they don't want their number to go up.
They don't. Yeah, I don't really worry about it.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
I'm sure they don't care.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
But in regular sitution, they want to be like Wilt
Chamberlain is what they want to be. Like, how many
can I get? You know, you know, Wilt Chamberlain.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
What did he do?
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Will Chamberlain of a great all time NBA place. He
wrote a book in the late nineties, said he slept
with twenty thousand women. Stop it, that's what he claimed.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Really, how many women is that a day?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Well, a friend of mine, Doug Gricoryan who used to
be a radio guy, Doug did the math. He covered
Wilt Chamberlain. We played for the lake. He said, no way,
the math doesn't work. It's impossible bull crap, because it
would have to be like two or three a day
during the you know, the season, and the math travel.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Crazy blood flow for that.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Anyways, next, well, you'd have to have available people that
would be willing to do it. That would be the
other problem. That would be uh, that would be a
problem as well.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
My hometown.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
All right, well, hollering James called up. You know this
guy definitely needs love advice, hollering James. Yes, Hollering James
are on with the Queen of Hearts.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Hey, queens, I'm gonna ask you a question. How come
I wear around people so much like Ben and some
of the other callers that I just don't get appreciated?
Are the much love that I need? I need to
find love somewhere, not to pay for it, but to
find true love. I reached you out of the wrong places.
How do I reach out to the right places? I
(33:23):
need to go to the library, the bookstore.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I need to read the library. You always find love
at the library there.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
You know.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
I do suggest just getting out in general, finding love
is really hard because that you know, you have to
actually make a connection, and if you're not good at
connecting with people face to face, that can be a problem.
I think I've said this to another listener before. Online
dating might be your thing. You can catfish people. Catfishing
does really well for a lot of people. You don't
have to show your face and you still get affection.
You just no one's gonna hug you.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Are you recommending catfishing? Is that if it's your only option?
Speaker 7 (33:55):
Ben, Yes, I am suggesting catfish.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Okay, that's why she's the queen of our real quick
to King Rory quickly says, do women find two men
kissing a turn on? Like men find two women kissing eternal?
Speaker 7 (34:08):
I can't say for everyone. Sexuality is fluid. I think
sexuality in general like something that's you see something I
can get a little feisty, like.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Ooh, I'm going that as a no, I'm going I'm
going I'm going no on that one. I think wait
the heart stright there.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
