Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our na bird too, Hour two
of the original Recipe podcast, Happy August. It's the first
day of August today, but you already knew that. I'm
looking at your phone. So here in hour number two,
former Major League Baseball executive David Samson says Jazz Chisholm
(00:21):
Junior's honeymoon phase will not last with the Yankees. He's
average is the quote? Does the former MLB executive have
a point? Also, fans have been goofing on Baseball scribe
Jeff Passen's old take, and many others shared that take
from twenty twenty on the White Sox having a bright
(00:42):
future and doing things the right way? Is that fair
or foul? Also, Mariners infielder JP Crawford doesn't think the
Earth is flat. However, he doesn't think it's round either.
Your thoughts to all of it right now here it
is on a rampage and our number two keeping your jazz,
(01:10):
but not for long. Welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the
air ywhere making life somewhat interesting unless we're not. As
we watch the clock coast to coast, port of the
Order and beyond all the vast and stratiphyically powerful microphones
(01:35):
of fsr AMM nating live from Central the Chatters Central.
We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyrac
dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers tyraq dot com. The way Tirebink should
(01:59):
be in the Mountains made me want to puke in
my mouth ten thousand times. He sent me a picture
of like a corn dog with a pickle wrapped around it,
Like that's like probably poorn for alf the alien opiner,
but not for me and not for Eddie, because we
don't want to see that kind of crap mic in
the Mountains. Bad job by you. But early this hour
is from baseball. The flea market closing the other day.
(02:21):
No more trades. The musical chairs has ended for twenty
twenty four and now it is time to evaluate what
happened and time to let your play do the talking.
And nobody, nobody has had a better couple of days
since the trade deadline, and he was actual traded a
couple of days before then. A guy the Yankees got
(02:42):
ex Miami Marlin. Jazz Chisholm Junior has been balling in
the Bronx, so they hadn't played a game yet at
Yankee Stadium his debut against the Red Sox, and now
in Philadelphia, the Pride of the Bahamas off to an
electrifying start, bringing thunder and lightning to the Pinstripes. But
not everyone is drinking the kool eighth as they are
(03:04):
comparing the beginning of Jazz Chisholm Junior's career with the
Yankees to all time greats Now. If you didn't see this,
perhaps not. We heard that former Marlin's executive turned talking
head David Simpson is working as a truth teller, saying
it won't be long before Jazz Chisholm's magic carpet ride
(03:25):
comes to an end. And here's why he said. Quote
he's average. The former Marlins executive said, he's not the star.
He's not the center of attention. Close quote Okay, pretty straightforward.
Not a lot to pick a part part on that,
So let us discuss the question the former Major League
(03:49):
Baseball executive David Sampson saying the Jazz Chisholm juniors hunting
moon phase will not last with the Yankees. He's average.
Does he have a point? So I've got Aristotle, Farmstead
and Conan the Barbarian, and we will combine all of
(04:09):
these things together and we are gonna make hay while
the sun doesn't shine. So num burm. Now the casual
will say, well, this is just sour grapes. This is
just sour grapes from a guy that used to work
for the Marlins. I'm not gonna go there because it's
(04:32):
been a while since he worked for the team. He's
been in the media David Sampson for a while, collecting
checks to give hot takes. Generally speaking, I agree with
his premise the former executive because Geism has been an
absolute spark plug for the Yankees. He's playing above his
means so far wearing the Yankee uniform. He's playing at
(04:54):
a level that he's never performed at consistently. There have
been a few bumps where he's played at this level,
but not consistent instantly. So why all of a sudden
is going to do it? Now? Well, what about her
and Judge and one? So okay, I get people that
do approve improve I just don't believe that you can
make that bold statement right now. Because he's been around
for a few years, he's established a type of ballplayer
(05:16):
he is, and as the Great Aristotle stated, water seeks
its own level, and data evens out. Extreme outcomes are
followed by more moderate ones. We call it regression to
the mean, and we'll find out over the next month
or so. That's when the rubber meets the road and jazz. Chisholm, remember,
(05:38):
was voted the most overrated overrated player in the Big
Leagues a couple of months ago in a survey of
his peers. He also took a shot at a Dodger,
a former teammate, claiming he was interfering with him becoming
a leader. But he's a firebrand, and so this when
(05:59):
things go sideways, and they will go sideways, nothing lasts forever.
This is going to become a tinderbox, which will be
great for people that do guess baggery like me. I
can't wait for it. Now we head to sweet home Chicago,
the land of losers, and like a fly to poop,
we continue to be attracted to teams that blow, like
(06:21):
the White Sox, who have been playing baseball on the
South side of Chicago. The baddest part of town Since
nineteen oh one, the White Sox have been playing on
the South side of Chicago, and that is this season
the worst product they have ever rolled out on the field.
(06:42):
Never had a team like this back in the old
days at Kamiski Park or the new ballpark they've had
for many many years now, and so this is it.
This is rock bottom. After losing to the Royals on Wednesday,
the Paleholes have lost a team record seven teen straight.
They're closing in on the all time record for futility.
(07:04):
And I told Mark, Now, Mark was in earlier. They got,
you know, from Chicago, Mark the board. I was telling them.
I was like, I want to see the White Sox
get the record. You're so close, you might as well
get the record. And fans have been goofing on Baseball
scribe Jeff Passing because his old take started making the
rounds back in twenty twenty. He's sang the praises of
(07:26):
the Chicago White Sox. He bragged about how they had
signed all of their young core players and they had
a very bright future because they were doing things the
right way. Uh So is that fair or foul? The
people goofing on that take, and it's not just Jeff Passing.
There's a bunch of people that thought that as well.
So I say it's a fair ball now. At the
(07:47):
time Jeff Passing said it, it seemed like a great take.
But this is one of the fatal flaws in baseball
and one of the things I have not fallen victim
to in many many years. But so many baseball reporters
fall victim to it. They're pollyannas. They are convinced that
every prospect is going to live up to the scouting report,
(08:09):
and every top one hundred minor league player is going
to be a good player, maybe an all star player,
and it's final alert. Ninety five percent of the time,
the scouting report is embellished, poppycock. It's poetry, is what
it is. It wishful thinking, it's Shakespearean, and it's all
(08:33):
those things. And I have maintained for many many years
that the prospect is a suspect until proven otherwise. And
this is also a reminder, it's a teachable moment. As
they say on the farmstead, just because the chicken has
wings does not mean that said chicken can fly right.
And they still have to play the games. They still
(08:55):
have to play the games. The White Socks have proven
that abject failures. Of course, you can never blamed the players.
So a lot of people are well, they didn't have
good management. The manager's the reason. Okay, yeah, that's it.
That's it. The player's blowing has nothing to do with
it. It's if they had a better manager putting the lineup
card together, then they'd be good. Okayr final point. We
(09:18):
head now to the Pacific Northwest where Mariners infielder JP
Crawford said something that caught my attention. It hasn't made
the rounds yet, but I thought it was interesting, so
I wanted to talk about it with you for a
minute or two. So JP Crawford, an infielder for the Mariners,
revealed on an on field interview that he does not
(09:41):
think the thing that you and I both have in
common and every man, woman and child has in common,
is what we think it is. Say why?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
JP Crawford of the Mariners does not think the Earth
is flat. However, he just he wants you to know
he does not think it's round either. So it's not flat,
it's not round. What is it? He said? Our planet
(10:12):
is not a sphere, but it's not flat either. He says,
I'm a big firmament guy. Is what he said. Your thoughts. So,
my guy JP Crawford, who I never spent a second
thinking about, he should have a pow wow with Kyrie Irving.
They can get together, have lunch, have a good time there.
(10:33):
And he brought up My favorite part of this is
he brought up JP Crawford the movie four as a reference.
He said, as I mentioned, he's a big firmament guy.
But he indicated that he thinks the planet looks like
if you remember what the planet looked like in the
Thorn movies, the Marvel movies. So I guess Chris Hemsworth
(10:54):
is a scientist apparently, So hey, I can play that game.
If he's gonna quote the movie four to say the
planet is like that, then I can say, hey, I
believe that JP Crawford could be reptilian. Why if you
watch the I think it was the original con Conan
(11:15):
the Barbarian many many years ago. He if I remember correctly,
he got revenge against a snake cult. So it's conceivable
that JP Crawford is a reptilian person. He's a lizard person,
and that's why he's trying to spend spread propaganda of
the earth is not flat or round. It is more
like the movie four. So how do you like them apples?
(11:38):
They taste good, They crunchy, yeah, solid. It is the
Ben Malord sheol. If you'd like to comment on any

ear protection, they have they have special glasses. It looked
like he was just wearing his regular glasses and didn't
have any of his ears. And he just casually strolled
out there. You know, he had a hand in his
pocket and just bang bang, and he won a silver medal.
(14:28):
It's like like he walked off the street and now
Justin thinks he's actually an assassin, a professional hit man.
I don't I don't know the guy. I don't know
who he is. I just saw I saw the clip
of him on social media, but it was pretty wild.
Speaker 4 (14:40):

fancy things. Just just all about the shooting.

best saved for your Dodgers postseason, says Mark the full

crime on social media. And I don't know why he

He loves the show, but you stick to me.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm having a bad night. All right, I'm hanging up
on your goal. Away. Thanks for calling up and asking
a penis question on the sports radio show. I appreciate
that you're making my life it's more enjoyable.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I really And she asked, the one guy on the show,
or the one person on the show doesn't doesn't have
a penis?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, not necessarily expert. I think you go go away?
You don'te Let's go to Lewis, who's in the Bay area.
Hello Lewis, welcome, Louise rather Louise welcome.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
We're here.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh you want to get on the air. Yeah all right,
very excited? Can we get this guy in the air?
Is a ball of excitement? Can we make sure?
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Oh? Well, this is my main man right here?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Oh look at that unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
I just want to see a little take on the Bears,
or maybe what you think on the take of Oakland
the move. I know it's a little sideways.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
But.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Why don't we do the A's first? I think it sucks.
I hate it major League. Basically, if if I'm the commission,
here's what I would do. If a team want, if
an owner wants to relocate to another city, what they
should do is the team has to go up for sale,
and you can have an outrageous asking price, but somebody
should be able to buy the team and keep the
(21:57):
team if they're willing to keep the team where it is.
And Rob Manford has helped facilitate the Athletics relocating the
Las Vegas. He wants to have a team in Vegas.
Everyone wants to be in Vegas. It's cool to be
in Vegas. Baseball is upset that they don't have a
team yet, and the NHL and the NFL have a team,
and so they're they're they're putting the A's in Vegas
(22:18):
when they could have put an expansion team in Vegas
and kept the Athletics in Oakland, and they'll never be
another team in the Bay Area. The Giants won't allow it,
so it'll be a one major League good team, the Giants.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Yes, the Giants own that territory, and.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Unfortunately it's over. Man, It's it's done. That's it. But
as far as the Bears.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
I you know, it was exciting when the when the
Raiders moved over there, they got a new freship lifers
like a little breash, fresh press player, and I hopefully.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Are you still gonna be an A's fan when they move?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Always, like I always said to my my daughter, even
if we moved city, we don't ever change jerseys.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
But yeah, if if you move, but if the team moves,
isn't really see I I'm the opposite.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
I grew up the history of the team.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh yeah, well when the team leaves, that's it. Like
they I'm done. I grew up a Rams fan, and
when I was young, they left to Saint Louis and
I was done. I didn't care about the Rams at all.
And then when they came back, I was like, all right,
they're back. I'm I'm in. So that's why I roll
(23:36):
all right, yeah, well you might as well just move
to Vegas. Then you might as well move. All your
teams are in Vegas. You should just move to Vegas.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
All right, thank you, Lewisi. It is the Ben Mallord Show.
We are rolling, rolling, rolling through the late night hours,
the celebratory meal, well food picks. We'll get to that.
I didn't want to mention this before I forget the
sleepless and Seattle stories. So the Mariners have a catcher
named Mitch Garver who was on the Rangers last year
(24:08):
when they won the World Series, and he had a
rant he was wallowing in victimhood. He's been terrible this year.
He said, it's probably the hardest I've ever had to grind.
He said, He's been the big leagues for a few years.
He says, this is by far the worst I've ever
played in my career. It's tough on myself and my
family with the death threats, the retire and you suck
(24:34):
and people saying to effing kill yourself and all that
blank is getting old Paul's quote. That's pretty strong quote
from Mitch Garver the Mariners. Now, I would counter that
by saying you can eliminate roughly ninety eight percent of
those type of comments by not going on the social media.
(24:57):
And I actually kind of relate to Mitch garverner Our
Garver because for some reason the people over at Netflix
included me in a documentary which is running right now
about an Olympic gymnast, a take I had three years ago,
Simone Biles, and I am tonight. I was getting ready
for the show and I'm getting messages more messages from
(25:18):
people on Facebook that are just saying the most vile
things in the world to me. But I generally ignore them,
so it doesn't really affect me that much. And I'm
not on social media all that much during the day
unless I'm working, And yeah, it's much better for your health.
That's just the people are a holes. They think they're
(25:39):
hidden behind social media their phones or whatever, and they're not.
But that's that's fine.

News from the NFL, and it looks like if you're
working on the Chain Gang, your days might be numbered.
In the NFL announcing they're going to be testing sony
Is Hawkeye technology to measure first downs in preseason games
this year. Not sure they're gonna do it in the
Hall of Fame game coming up later on tonight, but
the NFL telling the Associated Press the system would likely
(26:11):
be fully implemented in all stadiums by the twenty twenty
five season.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, they're gonna put it in all the stadiums. And
the Chain Gang. I heard they're gonna probably keep the
Chain Gang, but just for visual reasons as a backup
in case the thing goes down, the system goes down.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
But well, we have I mean so you mean visually
if you're in the stadium, not if you're watching on TV.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
No, like they all have the Well, one of the
plans is to keep the Chain Gang because therefore some
reduction vision. Yeah, well there's a technical issue where I
could say, okay, well we have a backup, and we'll
go with the backup and all that stuff. And you know,
those Chain Gang guys are usually older dudes, you know, yeah,
we all blown up.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, as a while, they have to get leg replacements.
Search it is the I mean, it's pretty much right,
I mean out of the way. Yeah, it's hard to
move laterally when you're at a certain age. It is
the Ben Mallard show. Time now for well you know
what time it is, Malard. Fun fact, all right, fun fact,
(27:15):
fun fact, this hour, we'll go to NFL football starting
tonight in Ohio, the Hall of Fame game the Texans
and the Bears. This is not about the Texans or
the Bears, but it is about Trevor Lawrence who just
got paid an ungodly amount of money by the Jacksonville
football team. Did you know that Trevor Lawrence had fifteen
(27:38):
touchdowns and two interceptions in the final nine games of
the twenty twenty two season. He put everything together right
in the rest of his career. The other forty one
games he's played in he has forty three touchdown passes
and thirty seven interceptions. And still the Jacksonville football team
(28:00):
gave him that ridiculous contract. He had one good stretch
of games and they showed him the Monday they hooked
him up with straight cash. Homie.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Couldn't you say the Packers did the same with Jordan Love.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, Jordan played well the second half. He did not
play that well in the first half of the season. Yeah,
that's wild. These teams like they feel like they have
no choice, They have no choice but to sign these
guys to contracts like that. It's pretty crazy. Well, congratulations

know who Liz Allen is. Bad job by you, Liz,

lives in that area. Angry Bill. Hello, Angry Bill, how.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You doing Ben? You're talking about the social media and
getting rid stuff. You remember the big fat security guard.
I tried to interrupt the football game and he got
kicked out through games at the games and stuff. I
don't know if you heard about this or read about it.
The Eagles loved him so much they gave him a title,
and I find this unbelievable with the NFL can't touch
(30:18):
him no more. They can't find him or suspend him
because it's a different title that they gave this guy.
I've talked to him several times and he was all apologetic,
and we've talked after that.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
But you're talking about Dom the security guy, right right right.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I don't go to social media, Okay, I go back
to the source. So if I can get a phone number,
I'll call you. Up and tell you what a schmuck
yard to your face. Okay, I'm different than that because
I'm old school, not like this modern day craft that
you know everybody does. I'm sorry, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I didn't say it.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Sure, if somebody that's terrible. If somebody's saying that to me,
I do you want me to get a heart attack?
But nobody told me they want me dead.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Well you you said you want people.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Dead though, Okay, because I was honest and I told
him what I wanted to tell him, I don't go
to so here.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Here's the here's the type of sorry. I know you
don't need to say. We get it. You're not on
social media. I understand whatever. Fine, But the Eagles head
of security, Big Dom, here's what's on social media. He
has a tricked out golf cart that he's showing off
a training camp. There you go, that's the kind of
content we've got right there. Boom, big Dom, Big Dom.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
He's not a bad guy. He's smooth, talked back and
forth several times. About three times we've talked, and uh,
I still told him he was smug for what he did,
but uh, he apologized that and the Eagles went ahead
and gave him a better title. I don't know if
it's a different job, but they give a better title.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
I'm holding what are you?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
What are you getting at you?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
No, I was just talking about your stupid social medi
He was assigned.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
He was assigned the director of game day Coaching Operations,
which sounds like a total nonsense BS title is what
it sounds like to me. Yeah, okay, fine, good for him.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm hoping Marina kept your demise and your your monologue
about the Yankees. I hope he kept that because I'm
going to need to play that again.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Okay, play that, you play that? Carrying that back? Okay,
it's all what about the Yankees?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
What about the Yankees? Schmuck?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Okay, thank you? Go hang up on yourself you yea.
It is the Ben Malord Show as we are rolling on. So,
the Chicago Bears gave out the biggest contract they have
ever given out in the history of the franchise. No
player has ever gotten this much money from the Bears.
D J Moore? So how did DJ Moore celebrate? What
(32:56):
meal did he eat?
Speaker 4 (32:57):
You have just.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Signed a massive contract, a generational contract. The kids of
the kids of the kids are set as long as
you don't botch that money right, worth up to one
hundred and ten million dollars. But it's like eighty something guaranteed.
So what do you do? Do you see where he
(33:18):
ate Eddie? What he said his celebratory meal was No,
Eddie didn't see Loraina. What do you think he ate?
This is?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Well, if he was me, he would want steak and
lobster with a baked potato.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
That's not what you eat. Come on, you eat the
burger cane.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Look, that's only on late nights.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I'm a bougie person. You were about to say something else.
Person to say something else, Cooper Lop, what do you
think DJ Moore ate to celebrate his contract extension Popeyes? Yeah? Well,
the correct answer, Coop is a schmucke away Moore eight
(34:00):
an eight piece Popeye's family. Wow. Cool, you're not supposed
to get it right, Coop. I did not see this story.
I just pulled out the most random place I could
think of. Wow, I haven't have been to Popey's. And
while those chicken sandwiches are pretty good at Popeyes, and
then in the biscuits, solid right, those Popeyes biscuits love
(34:24):
the biscuits. I just go for the biscuits. The chicken
sandwich does pretty good. It's all this stuff so expensive
now though, But I guess if you got one hundred
and ten million dollars, you don't have to really worry
about that anyways. The Bed Malloch Show. Time now for
the Insta trivia. Clayton Kershaw's streak of four hundred and
twenty three starts with at least one strikeout ended. That

Hello and welcome. It's our na bird too, Hour two
of the original Recipe podcast, Happy August. It's the first
day of August today, but you already knew that. I'm
looking at your phone. So here in hour number two,
former Major League Baseball executive David Samson says Jazz Chisholm
(00:21):
Junior's honeymoon phase will not last with the Yankees. He's
average is the quote? Does the former MLB executive have
a point? Also, fans have been goofing on Baseball scribe
Jeff Passen's old take, and many others shared that take
from twenty twenty on the White Sox having a bright
(00:42):
future and doing things the right way? Is that fair
or foul? Also, Mariners infielder JP Crawford doesn't think the
Earth is flat. However, he doesn't think it's round either.
Your thoughts to all of it right now here it
is on a rampage and our number two keeping your jazz,
(01:10):
but not for long. Welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the
air ywhere making life somewhat interesting unless we're not. As
we watch the clock coast to coast, port of the
Order and beyond all the vast and stratiphyically powerful microphones
(01:35):
of fsr AMM nating live from Central the Chatters Central.
We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyrac
dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers tyraq dot com. The way Tirebink should
(01:59):
be in the Mountains made me want to puke in
my mouth ten thousand times. He sent me a picture
of like a corn dog with a pickle wrapped around it,
Like that's like probably poorn for alf the alien opiner,
but not for me and not for Eddie, because we
don't want to see that kind of crap mic in
the Mountains. Bad job by you. But early this hour
is from baseball. The flea market closing the other day.
(02:21):
No more trades. The musical chairs has ended for twenty
twenty four and now it is time to evaluate what
happened and time to let your play do the talking.
And nobody, nobody has had a better couple of days
since the trade deadline, and he was actual traded a
couple of days before then. A guy the Yankees got
(02:42):
ex Miami Marlin. Jazz Chisholm Junior has been balling in
the Bronx, so they hadn't played a game yet at
Yankee Stadium his debut against the Red Sox, and now
in Philadelphia, the Pride of the Bahamas off to an
electrifying start, bringing thunder and lightning to the Pinstripes. But
not everyone is drinking the kool eighth as they are
(03:04):
comparing the beginning of Jazz Chisholm Junior's career with the
Yankees to all time greats Now. If you didn't see this,
perhaps not. We heard that former Marlin's executive turned talking
head David Simpson is working as a truth teller, saying
it won't be long before Jazz Chisholm's magic carpet ride
(03:25):
comes to an end. And here's why he said. Quote
he's average. The former Marlins executive said, he's not the star.
He's not the center of attention. Close quote Okay, pretty straightforward.
Not a lot to pick a part part on that,
So let us discuss the question the former Major League
(03:49):
Baseball executive David Sampson saying the Jazz Chisholm juniors hunting
moon phase will not last with the Yankees. He's average.
Does he have a point? So I've got Aristotle, Farmstead
and Conan the Barbarian, and we will combine all of
(04:09):
these things together and we are gonna make hay while
the sun doesn't shine. So num burm. Now the casual
will say, well, this is just sour grapes. This is
just sour grapes from a guy that used to work
for the Marlins. I'm not gonna go there because it's
(04:32):
been a while since he worked for the team. He's
been in the media David Sampson for a while, collecting
checks to give hot takes. Generally speaking, I agree with
his premise the former executive because Geism has been an
absolute spark plug for the Yankees. He's playing above his
means so far wearing the Yankee uniform. He's playing at
(04:54):
a level that he's never performed at consistently. There have
been a few bumps where he's played at this level,
but not consistent instantly. So why all of a sudden
is going to do it? Now? Well, what about her
and Judge and one? So okay, I get people that
do approve improve I just don't believe that you can
make that bold statement right now. Because he's been around
for a few years, he's established a type of ballplayer
(05:16):
he is, and as the Great Aristotle stated, water seeks
its own level, and data evens out. Extreme outcomes are
followed by more moderate ones. We call it regression to
the mean, and we'll find out over the next month
or so. That's when the rubber meets the road and jazz. Chisholm, remember,
(05:38):
was voted the most overrated overrated player in the Big
Leagues a couple of months ago in a survey of
his peers. He also took a shot at a Dodger,
a former teammate, claiming he was interfering with him becoming
a leader. But he's a firebrand, and so this when
(05:59):
things go sideways, and they will go sideways, nothing lasts forever.
This is going to become a tinderbox, which will be
great for people that do guess baggery like me. I
can't wait for it. Now we head to sweet home Chicago,
the land of losers, and like a fly to poop,
we continue to be attracted to teams that blow, like
(06:21):
the White Sox, who have been playing baseball on the
South side of Chicago. The baddest part of town Since
nineteen oh one, the White Sox have been playing on
the South side of Chicago, and that is this season
the worst product they have ever rolled out on the field.
(06:42):
Never had a team like this back in the old
days at Kamiski Park or the new ballpark they've had
for many many years now, and so this is it.
This is rock bottom. After losing to the Royals on Wednesday,
the Paleholes have lost a team record seven teen straight.
They're closing in on the all time record for futility.
(07:04):
And I told Mark, Now, Mark was in earlier. They got,
you know, from Chicago, Mark the board. I was telling them.
I was like, I want to see the White Sox
get the record. You're so close, you might as well
get the record. And fans have been goofing on Baseball
scribe Jeff Passing because his old take started making the
rounds back in twenty twenty. He's sang the praises of
(07:26):
the Chicago White Sox. He bragged about how they had
signed all of their young core players and they had
a very bright future because they were doing things the
right way. Uh So is that fair or foul? The
people goofing on that take, and it's not just Jeff Passing.
There's a bunch of people that thought that as well.
So I say it's a fair ball now. At the
(07:47):
time Jeff Passing said it, it seemed like a great take.
But this is one of the fatal flaws in baseball
and one of the things I have not fallen victim
to in many many years. But so many baseball reporters
fall victim to it. They're pollyannas. They are convinced that
every prospect is going to live up to the scouting report,
(08:09):
and every top one hundred minor league player is going
to be a good player, maybe an all star player,
and it's final alert. Ninety five percent of the time,
the scouting report is embellished, poppycock. It's poetry, is what
it is. It wishful thinking, it's Shakespearean, and it's all
(08:33):
those things. And I have maintained for many many years
that the prospect is a suspect until proven otherwise. And
this is also a reminder, it's a teachable moment. As
they say on the farmstead, just because the chicken has
wings does not mean that said chicken can fly right.
And they still have to play the games. They still
(08:55):
have to play the games. The White Socks have proven
that abject failures. Of course, you can never blamed the players.
So a lot of people are well, they didn't have
good management. The manager's the reason. Okay, yeah, that's it.
That's it. The player's blowing has nothing to do with
it. It's if they had a better manager putting the lineup
card together, then they'd be good. Okayr final point. We
(09:18):
head now to the Pacific Northwest where Mariners infielder JP
Crawford said something that caught my attention. It hasn't made
the rounds yet, but I thought it was interesting, so
I wanted to talk about it with you for a
minute or two. So JP Crawford, an infielder for the Mariners,
revealed on an on field interview that he does not
(09:41):
think the thing that you and I both have in
common and every man, woman and child has in common,
is what we think it is. Say why?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
JP Crawford of the Mariners does not think the Earth
is flat. However, he just he wants you to know
he does not think it's round either. So it's not flat,
it's not round. What is it? He said? Our planet
(10:12):
is not a sphere, but it's not flat either. He says,
I'm a big firmament guy. Is what he said. Your thoughts. So,
my guy JP Crawford, who I never spent a second
thinking about, he should have a pow wow with Kyrie Irving.
They can get together, have lunch, have a good time there.
(10:33):
And he brought up My favorite part of this is
he brought up JP Crawford the movie four as a reference.
He said, as I mentioned, he's a big firmament guy.
But he indicated that he thinks the planet looks like
if you remember what the planet looked like in the
Thorn movies, the Marvel movies. So I guess Chris Hemsworth
(10:54):
is a scientist apparently, So hey, I can play that game.
If he's gonna quote the movie four to say the
planet is like that, then I can say, hey, I
believe that JP Crawford could be reptilian. Why if you
watch the I think it was the original con Conan
(11:15):
the Barbarian many many years ago. He if I remember correctly,
he got revenge against a snake cult. So it's conceivable
that JP Crawford is a reptilian person. He's a lizard person,
and that's why he's trying to spend spread propaganda of
the earth is not flat or round. It is more
like the movie four. So how do you like them apples?
(11:38):
They taste good, They crunchy, yeah, solid. It is the
Ben Malord sheol. If you'd like to comment on any
of that, you can join us here. We'll open up

somewhat broadcast friendly and as long as we don't have
to edit it too much. You're in good shape. You're
you're doing okay, You're doing fine. So the way to
go all right, straight ahead. You have just won the lottery.
What are you going to eat? The celebratory meal of
(12:22):
celebratory meals. We'll get to that. We'll play food picks
NFL style. We'll get to it, and we will do

you know, the the gadgets that all the other people had.
They had the ear protecting. Most of these people have
ear protection, they have they have special glasses. It looked
like he was just wearing his regular glasses and didn't
have any of his ears. And he just casually strolled
out there. You know, he had a hand in his
pocket and just bang bang, and he won a silver medal.
(14:28):
It's like like he walked off the street and now
Justin thinks he's actually an assassin, a professional hit man.
I don't I don't know the guy. I don't know
who he is. I just saw I saw the clip
of him on social media, but it was pretty wild.

fancy things. Just just all about the shooting.

best saved for your Dodgers postseason, says Mark the full

crime on social media. And I don't know why he

Speaker 1 (20:36):
What do you say?
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Said?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
He loves the show, but you stick to me.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm having a bad night. All right, I'm hanging up
on your goal. Away. Thanks for calling up and asking
a penis question on the sports radio show. I appreciate
that you're making my life it's more enjoyable.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I really And she asked, the one guy on the show,
or the one person on the show doesn't doesn't have
a penis?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, not necessarily expert. I think you go go away?
You don'te Let's go to Lewis, who's in the Bay area.
Hello Lewis, welcome, Louise rather Louise welcome.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
We're here.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh you want to get on the air. Yeah all right,
very excited? Can we get this guy in the air?
Is a ball of excitement? Can we make sure?
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Oh? Well, this is my main man right here?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Oh look at that unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
I just want to see a little take on the Bears,
or maybe what you think on the take of Oakland
the move. I know it's a little sideways.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
But.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Why don't we do the A's first? I think it sucks.
I hate it major League. Basically, if if I'm the commission,
here's what I would do. If a team want, if
an owner wants to relocate to another city, what they
should do is the team has to go up for sale,
and you can have an outrageous asking price, but somebody
should be able to buy the team and keep the
(21:57):
team if they're willing to keep the team where it is.
And Rob Manford has helped facilitate the Athletics relocating the
Las Vegas. He wants to have a team in Vegas.
Everyone wants to be in Vegas. It's cool to be
in Vegas. Baseball is upset that they don't have a
team yet, and the NHL and the NFL have a team,
and so they're they're they're putting the A's in Vegas
(22:18):
when they could have put an expansion team in Vegas
and kept the Athletics in Oakland, and they'll never be
another team in the Bay Area. The Giants won't allow it,
so it'll be a one major League good team, the Giants.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Yes, the Giants own that territory, and.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Unfortunately it's over. Man, It's it's done. That's it. But
as far as the Bears.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
I you know, it was exciting when the when the
Raiders moved over there, they got a new freship lifers
like a little breash, fresh press player, and I hopefully.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Are you still gonna be an A's fan when they move?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Always, like I always said to my my daughter, even
if we moved city, we don't ever change jerseys.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
But yeah, if if you move, but if the team moves,
isn't really see I I'm the opposite.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
I grew up the history of the team.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh yeah, well when the team leaves, that's it. Like
they I'm done. I grew up a Rams fan, and
when I was young, they left to Saint Louis and
I was done. I didn't care about the Rams at all.
And then when they came back, I was like, all right,
they're back. I'm I'm in. So that's why I roll
(23:36):
all right, yeah, well you might as well just move
to Vegas. Then you might as well move. All your
teams are in Vegas. You should just move to Vegas.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
All right, thank you, Lewisi. It is the Ben Mallord Show.
We are rolling, rolling, rolling through the late night hours,
the celebratory meal, well food picks. We'll get to that.
I didn't want to mention this before I forget the
sleepless and Seattle stories. So the Mariners have a catcher
named Mitch Garver who was on the Rangers last year
(24:08):
when they won the World Series, and he had a
rant he was wallowing in victimhood. He's been terrible this year.
He said, it's probably the hardest I've ever had to grind.
He said, He's been the big leagues for a few years.
He says, this is by far the worst I've ever
played in my career. It's tough on myself and my
family with the death threats, the retire and you suck
(24:34):
and people saying to effing kill yourself and all that
blank is getting old Paul's quote. That's pretty strong quote
from Mitch Garver the Mariners. Now, I would counter that
by saying you can eliminate roughly ninety eight percent of
those type of comments by not going on the social media.
(24:57):
And I actually kind of relate to Mitch garverner Our
Garver because for some reason the people over at Netflix
included me in a documentary which is running right now
about an Olympic gymnast, a take I had three years ago,
Simone Biles, and I am tonight. I was getting ready
for the show and I'm getting messages more messages from
(25:18):
people on Facebook that are just saying the most vile
things in the world to me. But I generally ignore them,
so it doesn't really affect me that much. And I'm
not on social media all that much during the day
unless I'm working, And yeah, it's much better for your health.
That's just the people are a holes. They think they're
(25:39):
hidden behind social media their phones or whatever, and they're not.
But that's that's fine.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
News from the NFL, and it looks like if you're
working on the Chain Gang, your days might be numbered.
In the NFL announcing they're going to be testing sony
Is Hawkeye technology to measure first downs in preseason games
this year. Not sure they're gonna do it in the
Hall of Fame game coming up later on tonight, but
the NFL telling the Associated Press the system would likely
(26:11):
be fully implemented in all stadiums by the twenty twenty
five season.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, they're gonna put it in all the stadiums. And
the Chain Gang. I heard they're gonna probably keep the
Chain Gang, but just for visual reasons as a backup
in case the thing goes down, the system goes down.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
But well, we have I mean so you mean visually
if you're in the stadium, not if you're watching on TV.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
No, like they all have the Well, one of the
plans is to keep the Chain Gang because therefore some
reduction vision. Yeah, well there's a technical issue where I
could say, okay, well we have a backup, and we'll
go with the backup and all that stuff. And you know,
those Chain Gang guys are usually older dudes, you know, yeah,
we all blown up.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, as a while, they have to get leg replacements.
Search it is the I mean, it's pretty much right,
I mean out of the way. Yeah, it's hard to
move laterally when you're at a certain age. It is
the Ben Mallard show. Time now for well you know
what time it is, Malard. Fun fact, all right, fun fact,
(27:15):
fun fact, this hour, we'll go to NFL football starting
tonight in Ohio, the Hall of Fame game the Texans
and the Bears. This is not about the Texans or
the Bears, but it is about Trevor Lawrence who just
got paid an ungodly amount of money by the Jacksonville
football team. Did you know that Trevor Lawrence had fifteen
(27:38):
touchdowns and two interceptions in the final nine games of
the twenty twenty two season. He put everything together right
in the rest of his career. The other forty one
games he's played in he has forty three touchdown passes
and thirty seven interceptions. And still the Jacksonville football team
(28:00):
gave him that ridiculous contract. He had one good stretch
of games and they showed him the Monday they hooked
him up with straight cash. Homie.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Couldn't you say the Packers did the same with Jordan Love.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, Jordan played well the second half. He did not
play that well in the first half of the season. Yeah,
that's wild. These teams like they feel like they have
no choice, They have no choice but to sign these
guys to contracts like that. It's pretty crazy. Well, congratulations

know who Liz Allen is. Bad job by you, Liz,

Speaker 2 (29:56):
You doing Ben? You're talking about the social media and
getting rid stuff. You remember the big fat security guard.
I tried to interrupt the football game and he got
kicked out through games at the games and stuff. I
don't know if you heard about this or read about it.
The Eagles loved him so much they gave him a title,
and I find this unbelievable with the NFL can't touch
(30:18):
him no more. They can't find him or suspend him
because it's a different title that they gave this guy.
I've talked to him several times and he was all apologetic,
and we've talked after that.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
But you're talking about Dom the security guy, right right right.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I don't go to social media, Okay, I go back
to the source. So if I can get a phone number,
I'll call you. Up and tell you what a schmuck
yard to your face. Okay, I'm different than that because
I'm old school, not like this modern day craft that
you know everybody does. I'm sorry, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I didn't say it.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Sure, if somebody that's terrible. If somebody's saying that to me,
I do you want me to get a heart attack?
But nobody told me they want me dead.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Well you you said you want people.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Dead though, Okay, because I was honest and I told
him what I wanted to tell him, I don't go
to so here.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Here's the here's the type of sorry. I know you
don't need to say. We get it. You're not on
social media. I understand whatever. Fine, But the Eagles head
of security, Big Dom, here's what's on social media. He
has a tricked out golf cart that he's showing off
a training camp. There you go, that's the kind of
content we've got right there. Boom, big Dom, Big Dom.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
He's not a bad guy. He's smooth, talked back and
forth several times. About three times we've talked, and uh,
I still told him he was smug for what he did,
but uh, he apologized that and the Eagles went ahead
and gave him a better title. I don't know if
it's a different job, but they give a better title.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
I'm holding what are you?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
What are you getting at you?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
No, I was just talking about your stupid social medi
He was assigned.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
He was assigned the director of game day Coaching Operations,
which sounds like a total nonsense BS title is what
it sounds like to me. Yeah, okay, fine, good for him.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm hoping Marina kept your demise and your your monologue
about the Yankees. I hope he kept that because I'm
going to need to play that again.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Okay, play that, you play that? Carrying that back? Okay,
it's all what about the Yankees?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
What about the Yankees? Schmuck?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Okay, thank you? Go hang up on yourself you yea.
It is the Ben Malord Show as we are rolling on. So,
the Chicago Bears gave out the biggest contract they have
ever given out in the history of the franchise. No
player has ever gotten this much money from the Bears.
D J Moore? So how did DJ Moore celebrate? What
(32:56):
meal did he eat?
Speaker 4 (32:57):
You have just.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Signed a massive contract, a generational contract. The kids of
the kids of the kids are set as long as
you don't botch that money right, worth up to one
hundred and ten million dollars. But it's like eighty something guaranteed.
So what do you do? Do you see where he

then in the biscuits, solid right, those Popeyes biscuits love
(34:24):
the biscuits. I just go for the biscuits. The chicken
sandwich does pretty good. It's all this stuff so expensive
