Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our nameber one of the original recipe Ben Malashow Podcast,
Do not settle for an inferior product.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
This is the original recipe.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
As we're hanging out together here we begin with the
Olympics in Perie. Joel Enbiid was benched by Steve Kerr
for Team USA's win against the South Sudan. Is this
wonderful adaptability as the basketball media is saying, or is
it something else? Also, Elon Musk, the tech mogul, has
(00:38):
accepted the proposed fight with Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro, who
would win said fight. And five star Nebraska quarterback Dylan
Reola showed up to camp for the Cornhuskers looking exactly
like Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Was this accidental or intentional? We'll go there and a
whole lot of other places.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Right now here, it is our number one and you.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Can grab some bench.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Come in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere with fresh thoughts,
no reruns. As we are talking from the Lion's mouth,
coast to coast, voted the moter and beyond on the
(01:36):
vast and superabundantly powerful microphones of fsre ammnating live from
the junction, the Jibber Jabber Junction. We're broadcasting live from
the ti rack dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Tyraq dot com will.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Help you get there and unmatch selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand Arekamen installers.
Tyraq dot com the way tire buying should be. Our
buddy Ozzie was, who's out there in Western Australia where
no one lives except him and his family, and he
(02:13):
listens to the show every night. He's out there, He's
had like ten thousand kangaroos. And our friend Ozzie was,
who's listening to the live show. So our lead this hour,
we're gonna start in PERI are we gonna do another
mall monologue about.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Swimming in poo Now?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Although I did enjoy the photos, I know our blind
listeners couldn't see them, but for everyone else the photos
of the triathlon athletes. There was one in particular that
is a iconic photo of the woman getting out of
the river there in Paris, and it looks like you
could see the pooh.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It was wild, oh, just amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Anyway, our lead is from the Olympics, but it's about
pro bouncy ball Olympic style as bam out A Bio
had a game high eighteen points off the benchmind you,
and the US took care of South Sudan. They didn't
cover the spread, but they won the game. But if
you bet on South Sudan, you won the bet on that.
(03:19):
The game itself not much of a talker as yet again,
it was not in up for grated, It wasn't up
for debate. It was that it was over pretty much
at halftime. But you know what was a pretty good talker.
Maybe not that would be the decision by coach Steve
Kerr to bench a former MVP now Jason Tatum played.
(03:42):
I think he had four points, didn't make an impact,
but I had just came on in the background.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I was daylighting and so I had this.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
On the backgrounds. I was like checking it out every
so often. I w wasn't watching every second of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But joel En beid.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
An MVP, a former MVP, did not play, and Steve
Kirk claimed it was because of matchup issues, okay, saying
essentially trust the process that his lateral movement could not
match up with that vaunted South Sudan team inbead gets
in line. He now joins Jason Tatum and Tyrese Halliburton
(04:21):
among all star level players who have been hog tied
to the bench in the first couple games of the
Olympic competition. The basketball media, how do you think they
spun this? But you know how they spun it right?
Oh yeah, they put sugar all over it. They put
some frosting.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Oh my, it's so good. The basketball media gushing over
they used the buzz term. Adaptability was the term.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
They used adaptability for the US hoop squad that they
can nix and max the players and that's how it works.
So let us discuss the question. Joella ebid clearly benched
by Team usay Steve Kerr saying it was for strategic reasons,
former MVP for the Sixers. Is this wonderful adaptability or
(05:14):
is it something else? So I've got ross dress for
Less Scientifical and masquerade Ball, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
a delicious pastry, which.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I might have when we go to Vegas.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
We're doing the Mala of meat and greet this weekend.
So I might have to break the diet for a
day or something like that. That really won't count, right,
Calories don't count in Vegas. What happens in Vegas stays
in Vegas. Is that true anyway? So A let's start
with this. I am not going to go with adaptability.
I'm gonna go with something else. I'm gonna go with
door number two. Adaptability is a cute little story, and
(05:56):
it's nice and it reads pretty well. It sounds good
when you say it, and I'm not gonna say it's
not part of this. But as the radio legend when
I was a kid, Paul Harvey would say, that's not
the entire story. Now you're about to get the rest
of the story.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Don't be gullible. Don't be a rube. Do not be
a rube.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Are we supposed to believe that Joel Embiid is not
good enough to get five minutes of playing time against
South Sudan.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You gotta be joking, right, There's.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Something else in play here, And I believe, as I
put my tinfoil hat on, there's something more nefarious going on.
When I look around and I do a psycho analysis
of what's happened here, Joel Embiid is joining as we
mentioned earlier here Jason Tatum and Tyree Saliburton.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He's getting the Ross dress for less treatment.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Now you might not be familiar with that store, but
if you go into that store, it's like a discount
clothing store, and the first person you see when you
walk into that store is lost prevent loss prevention, right,
try to get people not to steal stuff very popularly
these days, to steal things that aren't yours or go.
Though in this case, it's not lost pervection because you're
worried about somebody stealing clothes. It's loss of pride, all right,
(07:14):
that you'd rather play zero minutes then come in in
garbage time and play five minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Does that make any sense? Am I making sense that
it's bad for your brand?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It's bad for your brand if you're the mop that
comes in and cleans up Aisle seven in garbage time.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Because you've got business.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
De Jason Tatum's got to sell your potato chips, and
he's got to sell you sneakers and other things. And
Joel and BEA's got all his endorsements, and so you
got products you gotta sell. You're not nearly as cool.
You don't have the same panache if you're the guy
that comes in in garbage as opposed to sitting out
the entire game because of you know, you in strategic
reason or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
But how do you like to apples?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Now we're gonna go off the reservation for a moment. Here,
We're gonna go to boxing for a second. But not
boxing like MMA or like real boxing. No, no, no,
billionaire Elon Musk. Remember last year he was gonna fight
the Facebook guy. Now he's at it again. Elon Musk
(08:21):
says he's accepted not a fight with another Internet provider,
but instead Elon Musk has accepted a very bizarre challenge
from the President of Venezuela, Nicholas.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Maduro I believe is his name.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Now, if you didn't see this one during a national
television appearance, now I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I don't live in Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
But the president of that country challenged the guy that
sits on his phone all day sending out comments on X,
Elon Musk, to a fight after this, after Elon Musk
claimed that the election in Venezuela the results were fraudulent
and there were a bunch of videos I guess posted
(09:01):
of people who live in that country who are protesting
the election. So okay, fine, Well, Elon Musk accepted the
proposed fight from the President of Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Again, this guy, Nicholas Maduro. So since we're here and
we're all gathered together the powers of radio, who would
win a fight? Serious?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Who would win that fight? Elon Musk against the President
of Venezuela. Now, normally you would say you always bet
against the rich guy, because rich people generally don't do
well in sports because they're they're happy people that want
to make a lot of money. That's a general rule
of thumb in sports.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
People that don't have a lot of money try to
be you know that, they work a little harder.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Elon Musk is rich, He's filthy rich. He's like one
of the richest people in the entire world. So is
he gonna have the same oldivich? Now, I understand the
president because of corruption. The president of Venezuela has a
lot of money as well. But if you look at
the tail of the tape here, it's surprisingly close. Both
of these pugilists are of a similar height.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
When you break down a.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Fight, you look at the you look at the age,
you look at the height, you look at the weight.
All of that, the height and the weight, there's a
slight difference in the measurements. But we'll start with the
president of Venezuela. He's six foot three, he weighs one
hundred and eighty nine pounds. Elon Musk is six foot two.
So the President of Venezuela's got one inch on him
(10:27):
and two pounds.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But Elon Musk, I bet you he goes out and has.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
A good weekend eating in like Paris or something, he
can gain a couple of pounds real quick. Now, the
age is the big advantage for Elon Musk because the
President of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro, is sixty one. Musk is
fifty three. So that's plus eight in favor of the
X guy. So X marks the spot. We're gonna go
(10:54):
with Musk. And the main reason also is it's scientifical. Right,
after all said and done, more is said than done,
and boxing is a sweet science.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I was told that my entire life growing up.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
So Elon Musk, when he's not fussing around on X,
I think he's a rocket scientist, right, He's an amateur
rocket scientist. He's a renaissance man all that stuff. And
so yeah, that's where our money is now. The chances
this happens, I think there's a better chance that he
fights Zuckerberg from Facebook than the guy from Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
But I'm there for all this.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I mean, how about a back to back fight weekend
where in the morning time or as Rick and Maryland says,
morning time, how about a morning fight between Elon Musk
and he can go against Zuckerberg and then at night
in prime time you can go against the guy from Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Done? All right?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Last stop, our final stop here in this mal monologue,
we go to Lincoln, Nebraska, where the corn is good
in the football's mediocre. But this is the first time
I mentioned Nebraska Cornhusker football in ye years.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Why would I do that? What happened?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Well, there was a viral photo that made the rounds
from Cornhusker land five star Nebraska quarterback.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I think that wasn't this guy supposed to go to
Georgia or I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I remember seeing his name, Titan dre Anyway, Dylan Riola,
whose father played in the NFL. He showed up to
Nebraska's training looking exactly like Patrick Mahomes. In fact, I
woke up and I saw this and I thought, wow,
that's kind of weird that Mahomes is working out at Nebraska. Said, wow,
(12:37):
that's wild. I mean, doesn't he have enough to do
on his plates? Kind of full with the Chiefs. Now,
the question is the photo. There's a great debate was
this accidental or was this intentional? So after a minute
long ballot of investigation, I determined there's no way that
this was accidental. It's the spinning image of the Chiefs quarterback,
(13:01):
the Nebraska kid.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He's a kid Riola.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I would say he's guilty of a party foul, visiting
the masquerade ball.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Doing cosplay and all that. Now, supposedly he knows Mahomes
quarterback coach, and has met Mahomes and done some stuff
with him over the years, the last couple of years,
and he patterns his game after Mahomes. That's all great, good, wonderful.
Why wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Mahomes is the top quarterback in football by country mile,
He's Secretariat way to go right and the Nebraska quarterback.
Where's the same number, but he had the same sunglasses.
He's got the same hairstyle. That's not accident, that's not right.
So yeah, do your own thing, stay in your light.
As LeVar Ball would say, and as I learned as
(13:47):
a kid from the great Doctor Seuss, that be who
you are and say what you feel because those who
mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. But
be yourself, don't be somebody else. Right, And this was
total doppelganger. It's like one of my mentors was this
guy Lee Hacksaw Hamilton in San Diego. But they didn't
(14:08):
try to dress like him.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I didn't wear the same outfit and all that. I
didn't go down that road anyway. It is the Ben
Mallard Maybe I should have anyways, Ben Maloch Show. If
you'd like to be part, you can join us here
speak easy rules are in effect, but you can call in, scream, shout, shout, yell,
all that stuff if you'd like to be part.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
The lines are open, abra cadabra.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
There's a lot of endorsements that are pretty lame, pretty stupid,
all right, But there's one brand ambassador that I'm on
board with, and I think every man, woman, and child
with the exception of about two percent of.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
People can't agree with me on this one. I'll tell
you what that is.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
We'll get to it, and we will do it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Next.
Speaker 5 (14:55):

Speaker 4 (15:08):
The podcast is called All Ball.
Speaker 6 (15:10):

more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.
We talked to coaches, we talked to players, We tell
you stories.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
You download it, you listen to it.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
I think you like it. Listen to All Ball with
Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
The Ben Malburg Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on x He's
at Ben Mallard and you can post at and follow me.
Eddie Garcia, You're humble sidekick, the voice of reason, your
news guy. You're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox.
I'll put my stick right in your mouth. If you
(15:56):
don't listen to Puck the World coming up in the
fire hour of Tonight's Very Show, it is worth you
sticking around the Weekly NHL Report n l I from
the tire Rack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
It's Ben Mahlor.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Rolling in to the overnight hours, a big night ahead.
If you're with us for a full flight to the
wee hours of the morning, We're gonna have later on
Ask Ben. Eddie of course promoted Fuck the World, but
Ask Ben will be an hour number three.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
We'll have Factor Fiction as well, coming up a little
bit later on the Overnight. So if you want to
get a question in for ask Ben. Those are not
sporty questions, but it's been in friends an all of us.
You can ask you all a question. You can ask
one of us a question if there's something you're.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Dying to know, like what kind of cereal does Eddie
Garcia eat in the morning although he.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Doesn't get up in the morning, you can ask that
kind of question.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That's that's what Asked Ben is for, which is nothing
like the mail bag we do on the Fifth Hour podcast.
That's much different the Sunday mail Bag, much different than
ask bet.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Some people think it's the same, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And I'm offended by that those people that claim it's
the same exact thing. So we begin with a hodgepodge
of a malad monologue Joel Embiid benched by Team USA.
I have a theory as to why this is happening
now and unpopular opinion, unpopular opinion Elon Musk and a
(17:21):
fight and that possibility of happening not gonna happen, but
fun if it did. And the Nebraska quarterback who has
decided to copy the entire persona of Patrick Mahomes if
he dressed up as Mahomes for Halloween. I mean, congratulations,
you won, you won the costume contest. Now, we don't
(17:43):
do shout outs. You know, we're not a morning show,
We're not a daytime show. So congratulations though are in
order not a shout out, but congratulations to Femi who
is listening to us right now at Heathrow Airport in London. Now,
if you're at the Mallard meet and greet we did
in Minnesota. While Femi was the rock star, he made
(18:03):
these bumper stickers that he passed out to everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I still have a few here.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And Femi has taken these and wherever he goes, and
he travels around the world and he passes these things out.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
He said Heathrow right now.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
So if anybody else is listening to Heathrow, he's on
a Delta flight.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
He's waiting, he's on a layover.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So if you can contact Femi, he says, he wants
to hand out some of the stickers. He says he
can probably do it on the flight and the airport.
So he's even talking about emailing or not emailing, but
sending one to Terry in England, who's been a longtime
supporter of the show. So and he did send a photo.
It does appear to be Heathrow Airport there, although all
airports look the same, but there's a photo he sent
(18:45):
me here our buddy, Femi, and thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I appreciate that very kind of to do that. So
thank you to go above and beyond the call of duty.
Imagine these people in London who he is that you?
Why are you bothering me? A cowboy?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Drew says, it's strange how Elon Musk can threaten violence
on a platform that does not allow that.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, he was not the one that initiated the fight.
It was believe it or not. This is the funniest thing.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The president of Venezuela was the one that brought the
fight up in a speech to the people of his country. Yeah,
Mike in the Mountain says, the Venezuelan president was a
bus driver before politics.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
So there you go. That's what he says.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
He's I guess Roberto could become the president of some
country somewhere.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I guess why not.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Shane from Des Moines is very excited about the Hall
of Fame game. He even gave a score of the
Hall of Fame game. Let me know if that happens.
What I do for the Hall of Fame game is
I watched the open to the game, get a little excited.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I see the uniforms, and I'm out. I go watch
a baseball game. That's what I do. That's how I roll.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
King Rory writes, and he says, correct if I'm wrong, Ben,
But didn't Poppy pick Team USA to cover the spread
against South Sudan Anyways? I will say if I didn't
pick against him, I wouldn't be where I am today,
completely understandable, masshole, Mickey says, a plus plus on your
first Hour monologue. Here's a shocker, masshole. Mickey is a
(20:19):
huge Huskers fan.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
No way, how did that happen? You're a masshole? What's
up with that? Man?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Ferg Dog writes and says, man, what do you think
is the bigger cause of the dodgers struggles? Half the
team being on the disabled list, or David Vassay's bad attitude? Well,
I have noticed a correlation between Vassa being a schmuck
to me and the Dodgers falling apart. So you want
to connect the dots here, I'll do a little patternicity, right,
(20:51):
Vassay out of genuflect and kiss the ring, and then,
just maybe the Dodgers will start winning games. Super Marios
Steve says, I'm I'm surprised that Clayton Kershaw choking against
the San Diego Pottery wasn't newsworthy enough for one of
your little Mallard monologues. Then again, I guess him choking
isn't really is it really news?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah? Well, regular season, Kushaw.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You expect him to do okay in the regular season,
but man, he needed a diaper change in that game.
Jason in Kansas City rites in and you can you
can write it as well. Follow me on X at
Ben Maller. But Jason in Kansas City, who's been listening
so long, he used to live in Denver, he says
nine out of ten on the Malla monologue, Nebraska where
(21:35):
college football dreams eventually die.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And die again. He will die again.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Also, Tommy Fraser ain't walking through those doors in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Why did this guy choose Nebraska over Georgia.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
That's from Jason. Well, he might want to ask his banker,
his financial planner. I want to ask them about that. Yeah,
I'm just saying Kip wants us to do more survey questions. Eh,
you know, I don't know that. We want to go
down there.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
And Terry in England says, Fami, if you're listening there
at Heathrow, he says he will take a sticker. He says,
no problem, but I think he has to mail it
to you. So you got to contact him there, Terry,
he doesn't have your address. It's just not going to
pop up all of a sudden out of the heavens.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It's not all of a sudden going to show up like, hey,
here we go, look at that. Look what we've got.
It's amazing, stunning and all that. I wanted to mention this.
The Olympics underway and been going on for a few days.
Got a couple more weeks I think, or at least
a week and a half to go to the Olympics.
And we don't often talk.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I was actually telling Lorrain in our production meeting before
the show, we just don't talk enough Italian gymnastics.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I said, that's the one thing this show is missing.
We need to talk Italian gymnastics, and how can we
work that into the show? And here we are.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
So there's a Allian gymnast named Georgia Villa Am I
saying that right now?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Your question mark after his names?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yes, that's a woman. Uh g I O r G
I A is the name? How do you pronounce?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
No help, I said it right, all right, whatever, who cares?
Speaker 8 (23:19):
I bet you did it perfectly, Ben, thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I even added the question mark. So she's she's in
the Olympics right now. And her she's sponsored by cheese.
She is a brand ambassador for Parmesan cheese.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Yum me, I saw her.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Isn't this great.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, I saw her too because somebody sent me the
link here. But she's very proud of her love of
Parmesan cheese.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Was she the one that was hugging the wheel of cheese?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I'm looking at a photo of here on social media
of her, and she's very braggadocious. She's doing a like
a oh yeah, she's leaping over cheese. Eddio, that's what
I see the photo I'm looking at here on Instagram.
She's doing a gymnastics move and she's jumping over the cheese.
So and it's in Italian. I don't I don't speak Italian,
so I don't know what she's saying, but.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, it was translated. She's very excited. This is Oh yeah.
There is a photo of her hugging cheese here too.
Speaker 8 (24:22):
I think it's beautiful, Ben.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
She's laying on the cheese. Yes, she's like kissing the cheese.
She really loves the cheese.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Could she be married with the cheese? Maybe she could
marry the cheese?
Speaker 8 (24:35):
I was you really do come true? Like wow, who
knew that that would be something you'd want to do
one day? But like I would love to be sponsored
by a big wheel of cheese.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You would you would like to have?
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
What is your favorite cheese? Is it parmezano? Is it
was that your favorite cheese?
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Actually, no, Parmesana is not one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I really Yeah, what's your shocking American cheese?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
I like blue cheese?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Oh, thums down.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
I like goat cheese, I like, I like them.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
But parm is so good. Right, you got chicken the
go to in everyta rested.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Chicken parm Right, that's got to be the go to chicken.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Parm chicken for dinner.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Yeah, cheese, steak and plant parmesan.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Well you're a little weird, but that's fine.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But but no, you you put the cheese. It goes
on meat dishes.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
It's wonderful. It's a delicious cheese. I love my parmesan.
It's wonderful. So way to go.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
It's a great endorsement. And it's it's not a stereotype
at all. It's someone from Italia, from Italy with the
endorsed cheese. But she's living the she's living the dream.
Now does she get free cheese? Is that what she gets?
As a brand ambassador? You should get free items, right,
that's part of you. If you're a brand ambassador, you
should get as much cheese as you want. She should be
covered in cheese. Gotta happen. My wife's trying to drag
(25:54):
me in Italy. I've never been to Italy, but I
can only imagine the cheese must be.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's just amazing. And it didn't Coop tell me. I
think you told me, Coop that the cheese in Italy
is different like the America.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Is it American parmersan cheeses fake or some cheese in
America's fake? The real cheese is in Italy. He was
explaining that to me a while back. I guess he
doesn't want to add any to it.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific to.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Some football news of sorts. The judge who presided over
the class action lawsuit filed by Sunday Ticket subscribers against
the NFL said the jury did not follow his instructions
in determining damages and he could order a new trial.
Federal jury on June twenty seventh awarded four point seven
million in damages to residential and commercial subscribers after it
ruled the NFL violate and antitrust laws in distributing out
(26:44):
of market Sunday afternoon games on a premium subscription service.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Let me translate that to the layman. That is the
NFL's playbook. They just keep appealing till they find a
judge that wants all access, inclusive experience an NFL game,
possibly tickets, and then they get out of any legal trouble.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
So that's how that works, right.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It's like, hey, well, keep going, Peel, We'll find a
judge that loves the NFL and it's friends with some owners,
and then we're good.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It is the Benett Malord show.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Time for some fun fun fact. This fun fact dedicated
to Mike and Dodge and all the other Royals fans
that are listening on our affiliate. There six ten sports
in Kansas City. Bobby Witt Junior, which is the flagship
of the Royals. Bobby Wit Junior finished the month in
the July is over by we're into August. Still on
(27:37):
the West coasters, like twenty minutes we're into August. So
in the month of July, Bobby Wit Junior had forty
four hits.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
That sounds like a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Right, a four to eighty nine batting average, that's softball.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Like the last major league player.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
With at least that many hits, any batting average in
that stratosphere in a month was the Iron Horse Lou
Garrick in June of nineteen thirty, almost one hundred years ago.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Is that not fun?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
He had fifty five hits Lou Garrick in June of
nineteen thirty. Wow, in a four ninety five batting average.
So Bobby Witt Junior the Lou Garrick of modern baseball.
And yeah, they are using metal bats in Kansas City
because when you play the White Sox, it's always like
(28:34):
you're using metal bats when you play the White Sox.

making me the bad guy, James, you're making I'm hurting
someone's health by putting you on the show.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
So anyway, thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I'm gonna move on. Let's say hello to Frank the Tank,
who's in Iowa. Hello Frank, Oh.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Bill Miller, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Oh? Where you've been?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Frank used to call the last hour pretty much every
other day?
Speaker 10 (32:26):
Yeah? Yeah, I used to.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, and I'm going to hit the sack here shortly.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
So are you.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Working the dreaded day shift? Are you stay up late
for us with dayton?
Speaker 3 (32:35):
No? No, but I'm looking to get some training down
the road. I might be part time day shift, so
who knows.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, I've worked at day shift the last couple of days.
I don't like it. I'm a night guy.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
I wouldn't but I gotsh you wouldn't do it full
time though.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
He'll know I would.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
If they paid me enough. But they're not going to
pay me enough, so I don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
Yeah, I didn't call about that. What I called about
you know that Nebraska quarterback that he was mentioning about
that looks like Pat Mahomes. He may get an endorsement
for some tickets to go to the Chiefs game, like
a four packer four pack endorsement.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I don't think the Chiefs need any I don't think
they need to sell tickets.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I think they're they're sold out. But how about him
getting like they should do?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Doesn't mahone? What's the insurance he does, like State Farm
or something like that. They should call him, They should put.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Him on there. Remember they had the money.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Remember Chris Paul and they had Cliff Paul one of
the insurance companies.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I think it was insurance a few years ago.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
So he can put him on the commercial and he
can make money that way.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Well, he's already getting a ton of money. He didn't
go to Nebraska because he loves corn. He went to
Nebraska because they you know, there's money involved.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, I've been there. I've been there once, been there once.
This about a five hour drive from from Central Iowa.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
So yeah, all right, well, Frank, I'm glad you're alive.
Check in every once in a while. All right, Frank,
I will go away. There was a Frank.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
He blew me off.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
We'll push back the sleepless in Seattle. We'll push that
back in a little bit. Time Now for the who

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our nameber one of the original recipe Ben Malashow Podcast,
Do not settle for an inferior product.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
This is the original recipe.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
As we're hanging out together here we begin with the
Olympics in Perie. Joel Enbiid was benched by Steve Kerr
for Team USA's win against the South Sudan. Is this
wonderful adaptability as the basketball media is saying, or is
it something else? Also, Elon Musk, the tech mogul, has
(00:38):
accepted the proposed fight with Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro, who
would win said fight. And five star Nebraska quarterback Dylan
Reola showed up to camp for the Cornhuskers looking exactly
like Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Was this accidental or intentional? We'll go there and a
whole lot of other places.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Right now here, it is our number one and you.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Can grab some bench.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Come in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere with fresh thoughts,
no reruns. As we are talking from the Lion's mouth,
coast to coast, voted the moter and beyond on the
(01:36):
vast and superabundantly powerful microphones of fsre ammnating live from
the junction, the Jibber Jabber Junction. We're broadcasting live from
the ti rack dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Tyraq dot com will.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Help you get there and unmatch selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand Arekamen installers.
Tyraq dot com the way tire buying should be. Our
buddy Ozzie was, who's out there in Western Australia where
no one lives except him and his family, and he
(02:13):
listens to the show every night. He's out there, He's
had like ten thousand kangaroos. And our friend Ozzie was,
who's listening to the live show. So our lead this hour,
we're gonna start in PERI are we gonna do another
mall monologue about.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Swimming in poo Now?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Although I did enjoy the photos, I know our blind
listeners couldn't see them, but for everyone else the photos
of the triathlon athletes. There was one in particular that
is a iconic photo of the woman getting out of
the river there in Paris, and it looks like you
could see the pooh.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It was wild, oh, just amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Anyway, our lead is from the Olympics, but it's about
pro bouncy ball Olympic style as bam out A Bio
had a game high eighteen points off the benchmind you,
and the US took care of South Sudan. They didn't
cover the spread, but they won the game. But if
you bet on South Sudan, you won the bet on that.
(03:19):
The game itself not much of a talker as yet again,
it was not in up for grated, It wasn't up
for debate. It was that it was over pretty much
at halftime. But you know what was a pretty good talker.
Maybe not that would be the decision by coach Steve
Kerr to bench a former MVP now Jason Tatum played.
(03:42):
I think he had four points, didn't make an impact,
but I had just came on in the background.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I was daylighting and so I had this.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
On the backgrounds. I was like checking it out every
so often. I w wasn't watching every second of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But joel En beid.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
An MVP, a former MVP, did not play, and Steve
Kirk claimed it was because of matchup issues, okay, saying
essentially trust the process that his lateral movement could not
match up with that vaunted South Sudan team inbead gets
in line. He now joins Jason Tatum and Tyrese Halliburton
(04:21):
among all star level players who have been hog tied
to the bench in the first couple games of the
Olympic competition. The basketball media, how do you think they
spun this? But you know how they spun it right?
Oh yeah, they put sugar all over it. They put
some frosting.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Oh my, it's so good. The basketball media gushing over
they used the buzz term. Adaptability was the term.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
They used adaptability for the US hoop squad that they
can nix and max the players and that's how it works.
So let us discuss the question. Joella ebid clearly benched
by Team usay Steve Kerr saying it was for strategic reasons,
former MVP for the Sixers. Is this wonderful adaptability or
(05:14):
is it something else? So I've got ross dress for
Less Scientifical and masquerade Ball, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
a delicious pastry, which.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I might have when we go to Vegas.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
We're doing the Mala of meat and greet this weekend.
So I might have to break the diet for a
day or something like that. That really won't count, right,
Calories don't count in Vegas. What happens in Vegas stays
in Vegas. Is that true anyway? So A let's start
with this. I am not going to go with adaptability.
I'm gonna go with something else. I'm gonna go with
door number two. Adaptability is a cute little story, and
(05:56):
it's nice and it reads pretty well. It sounds good
when you say it, and I'm not gonna say it's
not part of this. But as the radio legend when
I was a kid, Paul Harvey would say, that's not
the entire story. Now you're about to get the rest
of the story.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Don't be gullible. Don't be a rube. Do not be
a rube.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Are we supposed to believe that Joel Embiid is not
good enough to get five minutes of playing time against
South Sudan.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You gotta be joking, right, There's.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Something else in play here, And I believe, as I
put my tinfoil hat on, there's something more nefarious going on.
When I look around and I do a psycho analysis
of what's happened here, Joel Embiid is joining as we
mentioned earlier here Jason Tatum and Tyree Saliburton.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He's getting the Ross dress for less treatment.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Now you might not be familiar with that store, but
if you go into that store, it's like a discount
clothing store, and the first person you see when you
walk into that store is lost prevent loss prevention, right,
try to get people not to steal stuff very popularly
these days, to steal things that aren't yours or go.
Though in this case, it's not lost pervection because you're
worried about somebody stealing clothes. It's loss of pride, all right,
(07:14):
that you'd rather play zero minutes then come in in
garbage time and play five minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Does that make any sense? Am I making sense that
it's bad for your brand?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It's bad for your brand if you're the mop that
comes in and cleans up Aisle seven in garbage time.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Because you've got business.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
De Jason Tatum's got to sell your potato chips, and
he's got to sell you sneakers and other things. And
Joel and BEA's got all his endorsements, and so you
got products you gotta sell. You're not nearly as cool.
You don't have the same panache if you're the guy
that comes in in garbage as opposed to sitting out
the entire game because of you know, you in strategic
reason or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
But how do you like to apples?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Now we're gonna go off the reservation for a moment. Here,
We're gonna go to boxing for a second. But not
boxing like MMA or like real boxing. No, no, no,
billionaire Elon Musk. Remember last year he was gonna fight
the Facebook guy. Now he's at it again. Elon Musk
(08:21):
says he's accepted not a fight with another Internet provider,
but instead Elon Musk has accepted a very bizarre challenge
from the President of Venezuela, Nicholas.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Maduro I believe is his name.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Now, if you didn't see this one during a national
television appearance, now I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I don't live in Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
But the president of that country challenged the guy that
sits on his phone all day sending out comments on X,
Elon Musk, to a fight after this, after Elon Musk
claimed that the election in Venezuela the results were fraudulent
and there were a bunch of videos I guess posted
(09:01):
of people who live in that country who are protesting
the election. So okay, fine, Well, Elon Musk accepted the
proposed fight from the President of Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Again, this guy, Nicholas Maduro. So since we're here and
we're all gathered together the powers of radio, who would
win a fight? Serious?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Who would win that fight? Elon Musk against the President
of Venezuela. Now, normally you would say you always bet
against the rich guy, because rich people generally don't do
well in sports because they're they're happy people that want
to make a lot of money. That's a general rule
of thumb in sports.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
People that don't have a lot of money try to
be you know that, they work a little harder.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Elon Musk is rich, He's filthy rich. He's like one
of the richest people in the entire world. So is
he gonna have the same oldivich? Now, I understand the
president because of corruption. The president of Venezuela has a
lot of money as well. But if you look at
the tail of the tape here, it's surprisingly close. Both
of these pugilists are of a similar height.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
When you break down a.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Fight, you look at the you look at the age,
you look at the height, you look at the weight.
All of that, the height and the weight, there's a
slight difference in the measurements. But we'll start with the
president of Venezuela. He's six foot three, he weighs one
hundred and eighty nine pounds. Elon Musk is six foot two.
So the President of Venezuela's got one inch on him
(10:27):
and two pounds.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But Elon Musk, I bet you he goes out and has.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
A good weekend eating in like Paris or something, he
can gain a couple of pounds real quick. Now, the
age is the big advantage for Elon Musk because the
President of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro, is sixty one. Musk is
fifty three. So that's plus eight in favor of the
X guy. So X marks the spot. We're gonna go
(10:54):
with Musk. And the main reason also is it's scientifical. Right,
after all said and done, more is said than done,
and boxing is a sweet science.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I was told that my entire life growing up.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
So Elon Musk, when he's not fussing around on X,
I think he's a rocket scientist, right, He's an amateur
rocket scientist. He's a renaissance man all that stuff. And
so yeah, that's where our money is now. The chances
this happens, I think there's a better chance that he
fights Zuckerberg from Facebook than the guy from Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
But I'm there for all this.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I mean, how about a back to back fight weekend
where in the morning time or as Rick and Maryland says,
morning time, how about a morning fight between Elon Musk
and he can go against Zuckerberg and then at night
in prime time you can go against the guy from Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Done? All right?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Last stop, our final stop here in this mal monologue,
we go to Lincoln, Nebraska, where the corn is good
in the football's mediocre. But this is the first time
I mentioned Nebraska Cornhusker football in ye years.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Why would I do that? What happened?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Well, there was a viral photo that made the rounds
from Cornhusker land five star Nebraska quarterback.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I think that wasn't this guy supposed to go to
Georgia or I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I remember seeing his name, Titan dre Anyway, Dylan Riola,
whose father played in the NFL. He showed up to
Nebraska's training looking exactly like Patrick Mahomes. In fact, I
woke up and I saw this and I thought, wow,
that's kind of weird that Mahomes is working out at Nebraska. Said, wow,
(12:37):
that's wild. I mean, doesn't he have enough to do
on his plates? Kind of full with the Chiefs. Now,
the question is the photo. There's a great debate was
this accidental or was this intentional? So after a minute
long ballot of investigation, I determined there's no way that
this was accidental. It's the spinning image of the Chiefs quarterback,
(13:01):
the Nebraska kid.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He's a kid Riola.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I would say he's guilty of a party foul, visiting
the masquerade ball.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Doing cosplay and all that. Now, supposedly he knows Mahomes
quarterback coach, and has met Mahomes and done some stuff
with him over the years, the last couple of years,
and he patterns his game after Mahomes. That's all great, good, wonderful.
Why wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Mahomes is the top quarterback in football by country mile,
He's Secretariat way to go right and the Nebraska quarterback.
Where's the same number, but he had the same sunglasses.
He's got the same hairstyle. That's not accident, that's not right.
So yeah, do your own thing, stay in your light.
As LeVar Ball would say, and as I learned as
(13:47):
a kid from the great Doctor Seuss, that be who
you are and say what you feel because those who
mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. But
be yourself, don't be somebody else. Right, And this was
total doppelganger. It's like one of my mentors was this
guy Lee Hacksaw Hamilton in San Diego. But they didn't
(14:08):
try to dress like him.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I didn't wear the same outfit and all that. I
didn't go down that road anyway. It is the Ben
Mallard Maybe I should have anyways, Ben Maloch Show. If
you'd like to be part, you can join us here
speak easy rules are in effect, but you can call in, scream, shout, shout, yell,
all that stuff if you'd like to be part.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
The lines are open, abra cadabra.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
There's a lot of endorsements that are pretty lame, pretty stupid,
all right, But there's one brand ambassador that I'm on
board with, and I think every man, woman, and child
with the exception of about two percent of.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
People can't agree with me on this one. I'll tell
you what that is.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
We'll get to it, and we will do it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Next.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am East You're an eleven pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Hey, I'm Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
The podcast is called All Ball.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
We usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's
more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.
We talked to coaches, we talked to players, We tell
you stories.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
You download it, you listen to it.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
I think you like it. Listen to All Ball with
Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
The Ben Malburg Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on x He's
at Ben Mallard and you can post at and follow me.
Eddie Garcia, You're humble sidekick, the voice of reason, your
news guy. You're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox.
I'll put my stick right in your mouth. If you
(15:56):
don't listen to Puck the World coming up in the
fire hour of Tonight's Very Show, it is worth you
sticking around the Weekly NHL Report n l I from
the tire Rack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
It's Ben Mahlor.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Rolling in to the overnight hours, a big night ahead.
If you're with us for a full flight to the
wee hours of the morning, We're gonna have later on
Ask Ben. Eddie of course promoted Fuck the World, but
Ask Ben will be an hour number three.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
We'll have Factor Fiction as well, coming up a little
bit later on the Overnight. So if you want to
get a question in for ask Ben. Those are not
sporty questions, but it's been in friends an all of us.
You can ask you all a question. You can ask
one of us a question if there's something you're.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Dying to know, like what kind of cereal does Eddie
Garcia eat in the morning although he.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Doesn't get up in the morning, you can ask that
kind of question.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That's that's what Asked Ben is for, which is nothing
like the mail bag we do on the Fifth Hour podcast.
That's much different the Sunday mail Bag, much different than
ask bet.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Some people think it's the same, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And I'm offended by that those people that claim it's
the same exact thing. So we begin with a hodgepodge
of a malad monologue Joel Embiid benched by Team USA.
I have a theory as to why this is happening
now and unpopular opinion, unpopular opinion Elon Musk and a
(17:21):
fight and that possibility of happening not gonna happen, but
fun if it did. And the Nebraska quarterback who has
decided to copy the entire persona of Patrick Mahomes if
he dressed up as Mahomes for Halloween. I mean, congratulations,
you won, you won the costume contest. Now, we don't
(17:43):
do shout outs. You know, we're not a morning show,
We're not a daytime show. So congratulations though are in
order not a shout out, but congratulations to Femi who
is listening to us right now at Heathrow Airport in London. Now,
if you're at the Mallard meet and greet we did
in Minnesota. While Femi was the rock star, he made
(18:03):
these bumper stickers that he passed out to everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I still have a few here.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And Femi has taken these and wherever he goes, and
he travels around the world and he passes these things out.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
He said Heathrow right now.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
So if anybody else is listening to Heathrow, he's on
a Delta flight.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
He's waiting, he's on a layover.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So if you can contact Femi, he says, he wants
to hand out some of the stickers. He says he
can probably do it on the flight and the airport.
So he's even talking about emailing or not emailing, but
sending one to Terry in England, who's been a longtime
supporter of the show. So and he did send a photo.
It does appear to be Heathrow Airport there, although all
airports look the same, but there's a photo he sent
(18:45):
me here our buddy, Femi, and thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I appreciate that very kind of to do that. So
thank you to go above and beyond the call of duty.
Imagine these people in London who he is that you?
Why are you bothering me? A cowboy?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Drew says, it's strange how Elon Musk can threaten violence
on a platform that does not allow that.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, he was not the one that initiated the fight.
It was believe it or not. This is the funniest thing.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The president of Venezuela was the one that brought the
fight up in a speech to the people of his country. Yeah,
Mike in the Mountain says, the Venezuelan president was a
bus driver before politics.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
So there you go. That's what he says.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
He's I guess Roberto could become the president of some
country somewhere.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I guess why not.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Shane from Des Moines is very excited about the Hall
of Fame game. He even gave a score of the
Hall of Fame game. Let me know if that happens.
What I do for the Hall of Fame game is
I watched the open to the game, get a little excited.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I see the uniforms, and I'm out. I go watch
a baseball game. That's what I do. That's how I roll.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
King Rory writes, and he says, correct if I'm wrong, Ben,
But didn't Poppy pick Team USA to cover the spread
against South Sudan Anyways? I will say if I didn't
pick against him, I wouldn't be where I am today,
completely understandable, masshole, Mickey says, a plus plus on your
first Hour monologue. Here's a shocker, masshole. Mickey is a
(20:19):
huge Huskers fan.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
No way, how did that happen? You're a masshole? What's
up with that? Man?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Ferg Dog writes and says, man, what do you think
is the bigger cause of the dodgers struggles? Half the
team being on the disabled list, or David Vassay's bad attitude? Well,
I have noticed a correlation between Vassa being a schmuck
to me and the Dodgers falling apart. So you want
to connect the dots here, I'll do a little patternicity, right,
(20:51):
Vassay out of genuflect and kiss the ring, and then,
just maybe the Dodgers will start winning games. Super Marios
Steve says, I'm I'm surprised that Clayton Kershaw choking against
the San Diego Pottery wasn't newsworthy enough for one of
your little Mallard monologues. Then again, I guess him choking
isn't really is it really news?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah? Well, regular season, Kushaw.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You expect him to do okay in the regular season,
but man, he needed a diaper change in that game.
Jason in Kansas City rites in and you can you
can write it as well. Follow me on X at
Ben Maller. But Jason in Kansas City, who's been listening
so long, he used to live in Denver, he says
nine out of ten on the Malla monologue, Nebraska where
(21:35):
college football dreams eventually die.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And die again. He will die again.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Also, Tommy Fraser ain't walking through those doors in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Why did this guy choose Nebraska over Georgia.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
That's from Jason. Well, he might want to ask his banker,
his financial planner. I want to ask them about that. Yeah,
I'm just saying Kip wants us to do more survey questions. Eh,
you know, I don't know that. We want to go
down there.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
And Terry in England says, Fami, if you're listening there
at Heathrow, he says he will take a sticker. He says,
no problem, but I think he has to mail it
to you. So you got to contact him there, Terry,
he doesn't have your address. It's just not going to
pop up all of a sudden out of the heavens.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It's not all of a sudden going to show up like, hey,
here we go, look at that. Look what we've got.
It's amazing, stunning and all that. I wanted to mention this.
The Olympics underway and been going on for a few days.
Got a couple more weeks I think, or at least
a week and a half to go to the Olympics.
And we don't often talk.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I was actually telling Lorrain in our production meeting before
the show, we just don't talk enough Italian gymnastics.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I said, that's the one thing this show is missing.
We need to talk Italian gymnastics, and how can we
work that into the show? And here we are.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
So there's a Allian gymnast named Georgia Villa Am I
saying that right now?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Your question mark after his names?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yes, that's a woman. Uh g I O r G
I A is the name? How do you pronounce?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
No help, I said it right, all right, whatever, who cares?
Speaker 8 (23:19):
I bet you did it perfectly, Ben, thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I even added the question mark. So she's she's in
the Olympics right now. And her she's sponsored by cheese.
She is a brand ambassador for Parmesan cheese.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Yum me, I saw her.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Isn't this great.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, I saw her too because somebody sent me the
link here. But she's very proud of her love of
Parmesan cheese.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Was she the one that was hugging the wheel of cheese?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I'm looking at a photo of here on social media
of her, and she's very braggadocious. She's doing a like
a oh yeah, she's leaping over cheese. Eddio, that's what
I see the photo I'm looking at here on Instagram.
She's doing a gymnastics move and she's jumping over the cheese.
So and it's in Italian. I don't I don't speak Italian,
so I don't know what she's saying, but.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, it was translated. She's very excited. This is Oh yeah.
There is a photo of her hugging cheese here too.
Speaker 8 (24:22):
I think it's beautiful, Ben.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
She's laying on the cheese. Yes, she's like kissing the cheese.
She really loves the cheese.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Could she be married with the cheese? Maybe she could
marry the cheese?
Speaker 8 (24:35):
I was you really do come true? Like wow, who
knew that that would be something you'd want to do
one day? But like I would love to be sponsored
by a big wheel of cheese.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You would you would like to have?
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
What is your favorite cheese? Is it parmezano? Is it
was that your favorite cheese?
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Actually, no, Parmesana is not one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I really Yeah, what's your shocking American cheese?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
I like blue cheese?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Oh, thums down.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
I like goat cheese, I like, I like them.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
But parm is so good. Right, you got chicken the
go to in everyta rested.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Chicken parm Right, that's got to be the go to chicken.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Parm chicken for dinner.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Yeah, cheese, steak and plant parmesan.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Well you're a little weird, but that's fine.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But but no, you you put the cheese. It goes
on meat dishes.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
It's wonderful. It's a delicious cheese. I love my parmesan.
It's wonderful. So way to go.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
It's a great endorsement. And it's it's not a stereotype
at all. It's someone from Italia, from Italy with the
endorsed cheese. But she's living the she's living the dream.
Now does she get free cheese? Is that what she gets?
As a brand ambassador? You should get free items, right,
that's part of you. If you're a brand ambassador, you
should get as much cheese as you want. She should be
covered in cheese. Gotta happen. My wife's trying to drag
(25:54):
me in Italy. I've never been to Italy, but I
can only imagine the cheese must be.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's just amazing. And it didn't Coop tell me. I
think you told me, Coop that the cheese in Italy
is different like the America.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Is it American parmersan cheeses fake or some cheese in
America's fake? The real cheese is in Italy. He was
explaining that to me a while back. I guess he
doesn't want to add any to it.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific to.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Some football news of sorts. The judge who presided over
the class action lawsuit filed by Sunday Ticket subscribers against
the NFL said the jury did not follow his instructions
in determining damages and he could order a new trial.
Federal jury on June twenty seventh awarded four point seven
million in damages to residential and commercial subscribers after it
ruled the NFL violate and antitrust laws in distributing out
(26:44):
of market Sunday afternoon games on a premium subscription service.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Let me translate that to the layman. That is the
NFL's playbook. They just keep appealing till they find a
judge that wants all access, inclusive experience an NFL game,
possibly tickets, and then they get out of any legal trouble.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
So that's how that works, right.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It's like, hey, well, keep going, Peel, We'll find a
judge that loves the NFL and it's friends with some owners,
and then we're good.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It is the Benett Malord show.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Time for some fun fun fact. This fun fact dedicated
to Mike and Dodge and all the other Royals fans
that are listening on our affiliate. There six ten sports
in Kansas City. Bobby Witt Junior, which is the flagship
of the Royals. Bobby Wit Junior finished the month in
the July is over by we're into August. Still on
(27:37):
the West coasters, like twenty minutes we're into August. So
in the month of July, Bobby Wit Junior had forty
four hits.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
That sounds like a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Right, a four to eighty nine batting average, that's softball.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Like the last major league player.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
With at least that many hits, any batting average in
that stratosphere in a month was the Iron Horse Lou
Garrick in June of nineteen thirty, almost one hundred years ago.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Is that not fun?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
He had fifty five hits Lou Garrick in June of
nineteen thirty. Wow, in a four ninety five batting average.
So Bobby Witt Junior the Lou Garrick of modern baseball.
And yeah, they are using metal bats in Kansas City
because when you play the White Sox, it's always like
(28:34):
you're using metal bats when you play the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yes, let's take a call.
