Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome to a brand new week of
the show. We are up all night here the original
Recipe podcast, here the Ben Maler Show, and here it's
all football, all the time. In hour number one, we
react to the spinning of the language from the owner
(00:20):
in Dallas. Where are you at on Jerry Jones walking
back on his not urgent comment regarding signing Ceedee Lamb
to an extension? Also, how did Trey Lance do the
backup to the backup for the Cowboys against the Rams?
And your thoughts on Stetson Bennett who did have the
game winning touchdown, but he had four interceptions for the
(00:44):
Rams in the game. Over the weekend. We'll talk about
all that and much more right now here it is
our number one. It really is Jerry's world, and we
are just stopping by. I well, come in my brand
new week of the Benmaal Show.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We are in the air eywhere driveling into these microphones
as we are feeling extra saucy coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast in definitely powerful
microphones of fs.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Are amminating live from the waters as we do the
deep dive and the dirty waters. We're broadcasting live from
the tiraq dot com studios, tyract dot com, Well help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire
(01:47):
raq dot com the way tirebuyk should be. I know
Ribman in his life, he's eating like ten thousand ribs Ribman,
and he likes that ten thousand numbers, nice brown number.
Human beings love round number. And so our lead this hours,
we were back at it again here for a new week.
Our lead this hour from the Cavoys. How about them Cowboys?
(02:08):
Now cowboys have training camp in southern California, and so
they always play an exhibition game. One of the first
couple of exhibition games they always played in Southern California,
and so they did that over the weekend. I don't
if you saw any of this. It happen on Sunday.
But that's not really what this is about. We'll get
to the game itself for what it's worth, but instead
(02:30):
we discuss the face of the NFL. Not Roger Goodell.
It's not Roger Goodell. This guy's been around longer than
Roger Goodell in many respects. Flapping his Gums there providing
us with glorious sports radio content. And while I was
away from my post for a couple of days a
(02:52):
few days prior, the Cowboys' owner and g he liked
the team so much. He's the GM there. Jerry Jones
commenting this isn't the lead up to the exhibition game
over the weekend, Jerry Jones said that in the lead
up to this, prior to the exhibition game, he had
said there was no sense of urgency to get an
(03:12):
extension worked out with wide out CD Lamb. So then
he was asked about that, and he commented on the
situation on the Cowboys pregame show Cowboys and Rams at
SOFI as they started the exhibition season on Sunday, and
Jerry Jones attempting to clarify the urgency quote that he
(03:35):
had said, and do we have audio on this? I
think we have the audience. Here's Jerry Jones as he
attempts to set the record straight on CD Lamb. Take
a listen.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I think I got in trouble a little the other
day when I said, look, we're not our jent about CD. Well,
no one appreciates CD being own the field anymore than object.
But let me say this, he wouldn't be taking a
snap out here today if you'd been here, Paul, You've
got to use your head when you expose key players.
(04:06):
That gives the other younger players a chance to do it.
We know exactly what CD can do, and he worked
out with that, and so we wouldn't have him out here.
It has really not anything to do with his contract.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
All right, So blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. Let us discuss the
question here for the assembled panel. The question is where
are you at on Cherry Jones attempting to walk back
the not urgent quote, the money quote that he gave
days prior here on signing CD Lams saying it's not urgent,
(04:41):
trying to spin this into say, well, he wouldn't play
against the Rams anyway. Is the exhibition game. So I've
got doctor Seuss, skulduggery and the bag, and we will
combine all of these things together and we will make
regular season prices for preseason content. That's what we're going
to make. So, first of all, I did get a
(05:02):
kick out of the pudding of the toothpaste back in
the tube. The attempt that was made by Jerry Jones
as he's standing over the boiling cauldron stirring the pot
the witches brew. As he's been very open about this.
We know that Jerry Jones loves the fact that the
Cowboys haven't won since the eighties for all into I
(05:25):
guess the early nineties. But it was like the spinover
from the eighties. But they haven't won a long time, right,
It's been a generation. So the Cowboys won, and yet
still Jerry can stand over that boiling cauldron and spin
the gobbledegook and get everyone to dance. Everyone dance, and
yappity yap about the Dallas Cowboys. And here we are again.
(05:49):
We took the bait, guilty on all charges, and here
we are yapping about Jerry Jones and his beloved team.
But what is Jerry Jones' real position on Ceedee Lamb?
My position is he already let you know what he
thought of Ceedee Lamb with the initial commentary, So I'm
gonna channel my youth and go doctor Seuss. I'm gonna
(06:12):
go doctor Seuss. Mindset here he didn't stumble when he
commented originally about Ceedee Lamb and the contract squabble that
is going on between Jerry and the agent for Cede Lamb,
and it's the doctor Seus's mindset. There was no misspeak.
(06:32):
It is simply that famous quote. He meant what he said,
and he said what he meant.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Now it turns out that that didn't exactly got the
eye and didn't hit the bull's eye if you will here.
So after a few mister softy types got all offended
and very upset, Jerry said, you know what, I was
actually throwing a curveball, and I'm the smart guy and
you're the idiots, And here's what happened. Jerry has shown
(07:01):
remarkable perseverance determination. He has been pigheaded that he does
not want to pay these guys, any of them, not
right now. And will we get to week one of
the regular season with that being the kids, we're getting close.
We're only a few weeks away from the start of
(07:21):
real football. That's crap, fake football, real football right where
we're not that far away. We're not that far away.
Will Jerry cave in prior to that? Will he cave
in before that happens? And so far, no, that playoff gag.
That wound is still fresh from stinky cheese, the Green
Bay Packers kicking the tail of the Cowboys in Jerry's
(07:44):
world there, and so no one's getting paid right now.
We'll see he's got a few more weeks to make
it through and then we're okay. And then we're okay
right now. Secondly, as for the actual exhibition play on
the field, Cowboys and Rams, el stinko for both sides here,
you got to take it for what it's worth. And
normally we put this disclaimer up for the world here
(08:06):
that we do not engage in breakdowns of practice not
a game, not a real game. It's a practice game,
not a real game. Practice game. Right. However, we have
a show to do today, and so we have a
show to do today, and since I happened to be
partaking in the practice football, we will partake and we
(08:28):
will analyze what we saw in said practice football. Okay,
So when you talk about the Cowboys in Rams, which
there were a couple of games that were showcased on Sunday,
will bounce around these games for the Cowboys, how did
backup quarterback Trey Lance do for Dallas? How did he
do well, he looked like the same guy he's been
(08:51):
in the NFL, which ain't good. He pulled off one
of the great cons in NFL history. There should be
books written documentaries made about Trey Lance and his meteoric
rise up draft boards a couple of years ago. For
a guy who seemingly can't play, not at a high level,
(09:12):
not in the NFL. Against the ram backups, this guy
pulled off one of the great the bacles in NFL
draft history. Under the cloud of COVID a couple of
years back, he used classic skullduggery Trey Lance. He did
right to get the forty nine ers to trade I
think it was eight hundred and forty six draft picks
(09:33):
to the Miami Dolphins because this is what was there
forever quarterback, So they got him, They got there forever
quarterback there and the Dolphins got a bunch of scratcher tickets.
And then I think Trey Lance was the number three
overall pick in the draft all because of what measurables
and the nineteen games that he started at North Dakota State.
(09:55):
But really it was one season and then they had
the COVID year, and there was like three other games
and then that was it, and that was enough to
hypnotize and Mesmrin Lynch and Shanahan with the forty nine ers,
so they got their guy, except he can't play, and
then they were able to unload him on the Cowboys
(10:16):
because Jerry Jones is like, Wow, we got the number
three overall pick or whatever it was in the draft,
and we got him for pennies on the dollar because hello,
spoiler alert, that's what he's worth. Pennies on the dollar.
We saw it in this game here, Trey Lance. I'd
rather have Lance the bus driver at quarterback. Trey Lance,
doctor Doolittle in the NFL and drafted high, and you
(10:41):
got to be high that he's the only reason he's
still in the NFL is because of that, right, and
he's not very good Dink and Duncan. I know that
works for Dak Prescott didn't work here against the secondary players. Now,
speaking of the Rams, the final thought, several of you
reached out to me, you don't have a quarterback. If
Stafford gets hurt, you're screwed. All because of Stetson Bennett,
(11:05):
the old Georgia Bulldog from back of the day. So
it was not a masterpiece. Where the ram backup quarterback
who played the vast majority of this game. Your thoughts
on Stetson Bennett, who had not one, not two, not three,
but four interceptions for the Rams. So clearly the U
word comes to mind. Underwhelming. It was underwhelming any way
(11:28):
you break it apart here. What about the end of
the game he had the game winning touchdown. Okay, wonderful, wonderful,
and that means you were still watching the end of
an exhibition game. Bad job by you. But I say
hey for Stetson Bennett, the old Georgia Bulldog, get the bag.
When you watch this guy play, you need the bag,
but not the bag of money, the barf bag, because
(11:50):
you want to puke in your mouth watching him play quarterback.
He missed all of last season under mysterious circumstances. See,
you figure he's going to come out here like Gangbusters
against the backup for the Cowboys and not your prototypical
NFL quarterback Stetson Bennett. He had the four picks in
this game. And when I was watching and maybe I
(12:13):
missed it, maybe my TV was broken mostly with a
clean pocket and it wasn't like there was some hand
in his face. And then the pass was tipped over
here and over there. There was an interception in the
Bronco game. I was watching with the Colts with a
ball batted up in the air and said, okay, well
that's not that's not on the quarterback's fault, right He said, well,
(12:34):
it was a tip pass. Whatever this was unless I
missed something. Stetson Bennett was just sucked. He was just
bad at his job and that was it. So they
have Jimmy Garoppolo for some reason. I don't know why
he's on the rims, but he's there. I guess they
always have to have some old quarterback on the team
for Sean McVay. So they have Garoppolo, who is like
(12:54):
a lucky rabbits foot or something like that. You got
him as your backup, but he's suspended because he's a
steroid cheat for the first couple of games of the year.
And that means if Matthew Stafford is unable to be
healthy by the time the season starts and fully healthy
and ready to go, then the Rams are a Stetson
(13:15):
Matthew Stafford injury away from Stetson Bennett being the quarterback. Okay,
good luck on that. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you'd like to be part, Every single phone line
is wide open as we kick off the brain spanking
new week. I did spend some time there in New England.
Want to think all the handful of people came out.
(13:36):
I was wandering around the North end of Boston and
I just thought I'd give you a few hours notice.
And in a rainstorm, wasn't that bad? People showed up,
so that was very cool. I thank you for coming
out and saying hello. And a bunch of people said
they were going to be there, did not show up,
but that's fine. That usually happens. I didn't think anyone
was going to show up, because why would you. It
was raining and it was a last minute. All right,
(13:57):
straight ahead, an all star in damage control mode. An
all star in damage control mode. We'll get to that.
We'll take your calls and comments on x at Ben
Mahler will do it all, and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Oh yeah, there's a Well that's not I said, that
doesn't count, Eddie. See that does not count, because that's
a there's a date that is scheduled by the company
that I am not in party two? Do we know
what that date is? I don't know when that date is?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I mean I I was sent a date. Do you do?
You always tell tell you that.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, I'm worried about the show right now. I'm not

Speaker 4 (16:04):
I was told there's one more day off coming up?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
This one? Is it next week? Eddie? I don't even

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't know, But I mean, let me check my schedule,
let me see the schedule. I really don't know. I
just know it's been a whirlwindow.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
You want me to say I've got the date here.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
All I'm gonna say here, I think the what is
it the twenty or twenty seventh? Twenty seventh? Right?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
No, I have the twentieth, Oh the twenty.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
You know the lack of communication between the how many
of us? Is there four of us? But it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
There is no communication. Literally, no one speaks before they
get here at all. There's no literally, I'm not this
is sometimes you just come in and say hello, but
there's no other communication.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
So so Eddie must know, because Eddie is the one
that's going to be filling in quotation.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, that's what I was told, Yes, Coop, Yes, be
prepared for.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The So I just realized I have another snaff foo
that day as well. So I haveing else that I
just have to now I have to do as well.
That's next week, right, today's hitting in the twelve, so
not this week, that would be the following week, correct,
But I just realized I have something so that might
be a Yeah, that's gonna be a long day.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
That's gonna be a very local radio are you well.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, not that day. But anyway, all right, well that's
my problem. See I didn't agree to do that, and
then I didn't realize that something else that had come up,
and so here we are. But anyway, we're back at
it talking about the first weekend of exhibition football. And
while I was sitting out with people. Eddie was free
loading at the Charger game. Cabana. Boy, they're hanging out
the game. Boy, yet again, I am the end of
(17:47):
the people, not Eddie Garcia there hanging out. I'm out
there standing in the rain, meeting people. That's what I do.
Uh you Eddie hanging out with the rich people, eating
the hot dogs and.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
The NOI and try.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Tip the whole thing. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I like the sausage, pulled pulled pork sliders. This was
really good food.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I enjoyed that. Did you watch the game? Did you
watch you? We were surrounded by Charger fans. You're a
Charger fan. You pretend to be a Steeler fan, but
we know.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
It's actually around. But I mean, it was terrible. It
came was just awful.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, Okay, Eugenie is Chicago rights, and he says, Ben
forget all that. By Friday or Saturday, my San Diego
Padres will take over the number one spot in the
National League West Division. Go Padres. Yeah, baseball is so
bad in Chicago, my man, Eugene, mister Chicago Sports. He's
done with the White Sox, doesn't care about the Cubs,
(18:45):
so he's now anything to annoy me. He's like, I
know he's gonna support the Padres. I'm not worried about.
In fact, part of me wants the Dodgers to go
in as a wild card team because when they won
the division and gone in as the overwhelming favorite, they
normally poop the diaper. So if they go in there
and barely get in, I think that would be more fun.
(19:06):
I'm all for it. So, Eugene, if the Padres want
to win the National League West, It's not like there's
any home field advantage in San Diego. It's the Dodgers
Stadium South. If the Dodgers play the Podres, it would
be filled with Dodger fans. So that's fine. It doesn't
really matter there. I'm fine with that. Let's go to
the phones. We'll say hello to Tony in the Bay Area.
What's going on, Tony? Welcome?
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Hey man, you missed it the other day. Berkeley Animal
Care Services actually has a dog's picture listed now. They
named them Odin, which Odi would be a good nickname
for him. They got a big description for him, but
the main thing was loyal. But who's playing the music today?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
That would be Loraina. She's the DJ.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Oh because she's doing such a great job. I would
like her to keep it up with the share and
my Little Pony. That's all I got. Thank you, by.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
You know what, I have the best My Little Pony
playlist on my phone.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Thank you, Tony. Well. Yeah, and the boys love that, Loranda.
There's one thing that the middle aged sports radio listener
loves is My Pony and that type of music loves it.
Can't get enough of it. They're dying for you. Just wait.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
I was thinking tonight would be an inspirational Monday song,
but now I'm thinking it's My Little Pony Monday.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, well that would be big. You know who'd like that? Petros,
but he's not here. He's sleeping right now. He's doing
whatever he's doing. He's not part of this. Who else
do you have? Page down? We'll skip over that one. I
see Art Puffin sending me random messages. Shane and des
Moines is up listening, King Roy Sayst Andre and his
dog Willis show up to your meet and greet in
(20:47):
Boston was not an official meet and greet. It was
more of a casual get together. It was not an
official meet and greet. It was not scheduled. It was
just out in the street in front of a bakery.
That's all it was.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
I saw you hanging out with Arnie.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yeah, I drove all the way to Vermont.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Why would you do such a thing.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I'd never been to Vermont, and now I know why
no one goes to Vermont, because I went to Vermont
and I realized that. As I told him at the
end of his show, we spent the day with Arnie
and we did everything you can possibly do in Vermont
in about four hours. Three three four hours. That was it.
And then it was good and a constant rain, constant rain.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Well, being around Arnie is kind of like being in
the rain constantly.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Anyway. Arnie was very excited. Though it turns smell good.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
I like the smell of rain.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Oh yeah, it smells Good's trees everywhere, it's like the outdoor.
Yeah yeah, it's wonderful if you like that kind of thing.
But Arnie, it's fair to say no one's really going
to visit Arnie these days, that it's just not a
lot of people going to Burlington, Vermont to hang out
with my man and this thinking genius Arnie. But we
had a good time. We had some good food and Arnie,
(21:52):
we told some old radio stories, old radio war stories
from back in the day. We worked together off and
on different shows, different stations for the years. So it
was good to catch up with Arnie. Let's say hello
to uh. Let's here. Oh, we just speak of him
and he shall up here. Now I did not meet Andre.
He did not show up. Neither did his dog, Willis,
or a lot of people asking about Willis. Hello Andre
(22:14):
in the commonweal Ben.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
Good evening, Bennett, It's good to be with you Willis
first of all. Then his apologies for not being at
the casual meet and greet. Now, I was surprised when
I saw it via social media, and I was I
kicked myself frankly that I didn't get that. I didn't
see the bat signal to be there. Willis not great
(22:36):
in cars, you know what I mean. Got the energy?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well, it doesn't. He doesn't bark in cars because he
doesn't barked out of cars, so you don't have to
worry about that.
Speaker 10 (22:47):
No, No, he's been known, he's he's been known to woof,
woof when we get on the open road. Very energetic.
He's been very energetic. So we got to have the
cage for him in the car. So the point of
fact that we would have taken all of these steps
to make it out to Beantown. How did I know
that this casual meet and greet was going to happen.
I'm glad that it did.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Curve.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
I saw you and Arnie on the open Road in VT.
I saw you on the open road and VT.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I should have.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Dived in and looked further in your message because you
said you were heading to Boston and that original message.
I just saw the smile and I was happy that
you were in the northeast. But I thought you were
too far north to you know, even consider it. But
that's that's why you got to trust to verify, right Ben,
I didn't do.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
That, That's right. Well I didn't. I didn't get to
meet you, and I also did not meet the great
to Alf, the Allien Opiner, who was unable to make Unfortunately.
I was hoping to see Alf, but he could not
make it, you know.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
What I mean. But it seemed that it went well. Again,
myself and Willis, we were glad, but we're a little
bit chagrined. I'm looking forward to Benny versus the Penny. Okay,
I gotta say you right now, it's the season. And
what's been going on? Because you started talking about the
fuller stith that Jerry Jones is perpetrating in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
What did that?
Speaker 10 (23:55):
CD Lamb led the team in receptions, led the team
in receiving touchdown twelve receiving touchdowns over what close to
eighteen hundred yards receiving.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Gary and what did that get the kid? If you're
Jerry Jones, where did that get the Cowboys? They are
lost in the playoffs in the first round, so that
somebody else will lead them in receiving and if CEDI
doesn't want to play, someone else will lead him in
touchdowns and all that. And know they can lose in
the playoffs or maybe not make the playoffs, but they
didn't win a playoff game playoffs, No, Jerry's I'm predicting
(24:25):
Jerry's gonna cave in. I'd be shocked he's made it
this way. I didn't think he was gonna make it
this far. Not paying the quarterback, the defensive star, the
wide receiving, none of those guests. He hasn't given any
of them a contract. I'll believe it when we get
to week two or three and he hasn't paid anyone
were still We're still in that gray area right now, exactly.
Speaker 10 (24:45):
And that's my point. As always, this is gonna come
out of the pocket of the hard working Dallas Cowboys
fans because Jerry's gonna wait till last minute, and the
cost is gonna go up and he's gonna end up
paying the exorbitant cart.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well, sorry, Scot, at this point, you might as well
wait because everyone's gotten paid just about. There's like a
handful of players that haven't gotten paid. All right, I
gotta go, Andre, But thank you man, the great Andre
from the Commonwealth, checking in there, having a fine time.

the verge of being the fastest player in baseball history
three hundred home runs present state.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I don't know what else it went to fresh I went.
I don't know anyone else.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
So Ralph Kiner holds the major League record for fewest
games to get to three hundred. Aaron Judges is going
to set the new record. If he gets hurt today, yeah,
probably not gonna happen. Kyner did it in one thy
eighty seven games. Judge hasn't even played a thousand Major
League Baseball games yet.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
So you're calling your shot at I'm calling it okay.
That means bad things, some kind of high James's.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
That's that's the curse of the Ben. But curse of
Garcia curses over.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
What are you talking about? Man? How dare you all right?
It is the Ben Maler Show. Managing staff for your
supply chain is complex. Let Express employment professionals provide the
workforce you need. With Express you can lower contingent labor
costs and reduce turnover. Go to expresspros dot com to
find the location near here. This expresspros dot com fun fact.
(26:28):
Fun fact Maler fun fact. Al right, so this is
actually I was not playing on doing this fun fact.
But Eddie brought up the name Ralph Kiner. So one
of the great stories ever Told's fun fact. Ralph Kiner,
who's dead, But he was a Mets broadcaster for a
long time. On Sundays they had Kiner's Corner, which was
like his own like twenty minute show that he did
on TV, but he was playing for the Pirates. He's
(26:48):
a big star many many years back. And the GM
was this guy named branch Rickey who is most famous
for encouraging the Dodgers to bring in Jackie Robinson and
back in the day, and they made movies about branch
Ricky and all that, and he's tied together at the
hip to the Jackie Robinson story. So Ralph Kiner, who
(27:09):
had hit almost forty home runs or something like that,
he goes into branch Ricky's office and he says, hey,
I need I need some more money. I would like
to get a nice raise, and the GM of the Pirates,
branch Ricky said, no, I refused to give him a raise,
and Ralph Kinder was like, listen, I led, I led
(27:29):
the league in home runs, and you know we put
up his great numbers. And branch Ricky said, where do
we finish? And then Ralph Kinder said, we were in last place,
mister Rickey, and the legend goes, whether it's true or not,
it's become legend. Branch Ricky responded and says, we can
finish last without you. That's the famous line that has
(27:51):
been repeated. And much like we were talking about with
Andre and Ceedee Lamb after the Cowboys finished in the
last place, but they didn't win a playoff game, and
so they cannot win a playoff game without Lamb. Now,
Jerry Jhonsill came in, so it's irrelevant, but it is
an option. It is an option we have. Let's go
to the call Marked the full name guy. I did
see a golden ticket, but it went away. Hello Mark
(28:11):
the full name guy? He is he still in Medford, Oregon?
I don't know, Hello, Mark the full name.
Speaker 10 (28:17):
Oh I am an Athline Oregon.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I've been here over a week.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh, congratulations. Are you calm now? You're very angry. We're
stressful moving very stressful to move right.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yes, it was incredibly stressful and incredibly exhausting.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
Yeah, I am the most grateful you boy in America.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Bett Mallers in play, you just mentioned an injury to
Aaron Judge. You better look out?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
What What am I? What am I looking out for?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
What?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
You just mentioned an injury to Aaron.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I just pointed out down Eddie Garcia put the WAYMI
on Aaron Judge. That's all I'm saying. He put the
way on you are.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
You just you just wished for an injury.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I didn't wish for anything. There's no wishing that. There's
no wishing that. I didn't wish y. I just merely said,
Eddie prematurely crowned. He crown.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
It is in play.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
It is in play now.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
I had a little bunks back for you.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Ben Miller.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, well go ahead. You're on the air. You always say,
I censor you, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
Lake Snell has as many complete games as the entire
Dodger pitching staff, but.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Not as many World Championships because he has none, because
he's a loser and he couldn't finish that game in
Game six of the twenty twenty World Series, the hardest
World Series of all time. And you know it, and
I know it, and the guys are fraud and you
can have him. And I'm glad he's giants trash. I'm
happy he's giants trash. I'm so excited it about.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
D There you go shouting over me.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
That's right, that's one picture you don't.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Want your God, you can lie about.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
What are you talking about, the greatest moment of Dodger history,
beating that loser in the playoffs. Because he's a coward.
He could have finished the game. He couldn't stay in
there because he's soft. He's a softy blake stuff. Bro.
I ain't played unless I get mine. We're risking our light.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Bro, Come on, you're going to kill me?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You did you did? You said justifiable homicide? Did you
not say justifiable homicide? Yes? Or no? Yes or no? Yes? Here?
Now you get quiet? Now he gets quiet? Absolutely said
you remember? Remember he's shaking his head. Yes, he remembers.
He remembers what happened there. Dare you? It is the
(30:53):
Bane Mather Show. We will press on here with more
of these rivening phone calls. There's a developing story though
out of Boston. The Wokesters are very upset now. The
Red Sox are about as woke as you can get.
And they got a problem on their hands right because
the All Star Game MVP Jaren Duran during the game
(31:13):
with the cheating a one two, one thousand holes. On Sunday,
the hot microphone not a cold micaeh hot Mike on Nessan,
the New England Sports Network picked up Jaren Duran screaming
back at a fan who was screaming towards him, and
he described the fan as what they used to call
(31:35):
I don't know if they still do a cigarette in England. Yeah,
homophobic slur And turns out that the people watching and
listening very closely did not appreciate that. So there have
been a bunch of apologies issued. We assume there'll be
some kind of sensitivity training. Will he take a leave
of absence from the team because he said that? Who knows.
(32:00):
We'll see how big this story gets. But he was
the All Star Game MVP Jaron Duran and he's had
a big time year in Boston and now the Red Sox,
who are very image conscious. I think an apology will
not be enough. There will be more to come, as
the Red Sox took the weekend off there against the
cheating Astros. Time now for the who am I Game? Show?
(32:25):
Hey Oh Tony of the Doyers Show. Hel Tony has
reached thirty plus home runs, thirty plus stolen bases in
five plus triples. He did this in his one hundred
and fifteenth game with the Dodgers. I'm the only other
player in the modern era to reach those milestones within
the first one hundred and fifty games. With a team.
(32:48):
Who am I? That is the question. The answer will
get to it. We will do it next.

and fifteenth game with the Dodgers. I'm the only other
player in the modern era to have reached those marks
within his first one hundred and fifty games with a team,
As in any team in baseball, that is the question.
What is the answer? And let's see does anyone know
(34:22):
the answer? Big Greg and iowas as that weasel? David
Vasse say, Robin Vegas going with Hacksaw Jim Duggan as
his answer, Matt the Warrior Raider fan going with the
Bull Greg Lozinski as his selection. Who else do we have?
Page down Bing Bing goes to church from Stevie Meatballs.

He's got who thirty plus homers, thirty plus stolen basis,
five plus triples? Did that in his one hundred and
fifteenth game by his one hundred and fifteenth game with
the Dodgers. I'm the only other player in the modern
era to reach those marks within the first one hundred
(36:32):
and fifty games with a team.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Bet I'm gonna go with former Cleveland Indian All Star
Brook Jacobi.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Chakoby, third baseman. Not great power except in eighty seven
hit a bunch of homers. That is incorrect. Eddie the
correct answer. A man who currently is semi retired. He'd
rather work at the Weather Channel than work in the
big leagues. Mike Trout of the Angels. Mike Trout Light
the Halo up. Mike Trout
Here we go. Welcome to a brand new week of
the show. We are up all night here the original
Recipe podcast, here the Ben Maler Show, and here it's
all football, all the time. In hour number one, we
react to the spinning of the language from the owner
(00:20):
in Dallas. Where are you at on Jerry Jones walking
back on his not urgent comment regarding signing Ceedee Lamb
to an extension? Also, how did Trey Lance do the
backup to the backup for the Cowboys against the Rams?
And your thoughts on Stetson Bennett who did have the
game winning touchdown, but he had four interceptions for the
(00:44):
Rams in the game. Over the weekend. We'll talk about
all that and much more right now here it is
our number one. It really is Jerry's world, and we
are just stopping by. I well, come in my brand
new week of the Benmaal Show.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We are in the air eywhere driveling into these microphones
as we are feeling extra saucy coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast in definitely powerful
microphones of fs.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Are amminating live from the waters as we do the
deep dive and the dirty waters. We're broadcasting live from
the tiraq dot com studios, tyract dot com, Well help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire
(01:47):
raq dot com the way tirebuyk should be. I know
Ribman in his life, he's eating like ten thousand ribs Ribman,
and he likes that ten thousand numbers, nice brown number.
Human beings love round number. And so our lead this hours,
we were back at it again here for a new week.
Our lead this hour from the Cavoys. How about them Cowboys?
(02:08):
Now cowboys have training camp in southern California, and so
they always play an exhibition game. One of the first
couple of exhibition games they always played in Southern California,
and so they did that over the weekend. I don't
if you saw any of this. It happen on Sunday.
But that's not really what this is about. We'll get
to the game itself for what it's worth, but instead
(02:30):
we discuss the face of the NFL. Not Roger Goodell.
It's not Roger Goodell. This guy's been around longer than
Roger Goodell in many respects. Flapping his Gums there providing
us with glorious sports radio content. And while I was
away from my post for a couple of days a
(02:52):
few days prior, the Cowboys' owner and g he liked
the team so much. He's the GM there. Jerry Jones
commenting this isn't the lead up to the exhibition game
over the weekend, Jerry Jones said that in the lead
up to this, prior to the exhibition game, he had
said there was no sense of urgency to get an
(03:12):
extension worked out with wide out CD Lamb. So then
he was asked about that, and he commented on the
situation on the Cowboys pregame show Cowboys and Rams at
SOFI as they started the exhibition season on Sunday, and
Jerry Jones attempting to clarify the urgency quote that he
(03:35):
had said, and do we have audio on this? I
think we have the audience. Here's Jerry Jones as he
attempts to set the record straight on CD Lamb. Take
a listen.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I think I got in trouble a little the other
day when I said, look, we're not our jent about CD. Well,
no one appreciates CD being own the field anymore than object.
But let me say this, he wouldn't be taking a
snap out here today if you'd been here, Paul, You've
got to use your head when you expose key players.
(04:06):
That gives the other younger players a chance to do it.
We know exactly what CD can do, and he worked
out with that, and so we wouldn't have him out here.
It has really not anything to do with his contract.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
All right, So blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. Let us discuss the
question here for the assembled panel. The question is where
are you at on Cherry Jones attempting to walk back
the not urgent quote, the money quote that he gave
days prior here on signing CD Lams saying it's not urgent,
(04:41):
trying to spin this into say, well, he wouldn't play
against the Rams anyway. Is the exhibition game. So I've
got doctor Seuss, skulduggery and the bag, and we will
combine all of these things together and we will make
regular season prices for preseason content. That's what we're going
to make. So, first of all, I did get a
(05:02):
kick out of the pudding of the toothpaste back in
the tube. The attempt that was made by Jerry Jones
as he's standing over the boiling cauldron stirring the pot
the witches brew. As he's been very open about this.
We know that Jerry Jones loves the fact that the
Cowboys haven't won since the eighties for all into I
(05:25):
guess the early nineties. But it was like the spinover
from the eighties. But they haven't won a long time, right,
It's been a generation. So the Cowboys won, and yet
still Jerry can stand over that boiling cauldron and spin
the gobbledegook and get everyone to dance. Everyone dance, and
yappity yap about the Dallas Cowboys. And here we are again.
(05:49):
We took the bait, guilty on all charges, and here
we are yapping about Jerry Jones and his beloved team.
But what is Jerry Jones' real position on Ceedee Lamb?
My position is he already let you know what he
thought of Ceedee Lamb with the initial commentary, So I'm
gonna channel my youth and go doctor Seuss. I'm gonna
(06:12):
go doctor Seuss. Mindset here he didn't stumble when he
commented originally about Ceedee Lamb and the contract squabble that
is going on between Jerry and the agent for Cede Lamb,
and it's the doctor Seus's mindset. There was no misspeak.
(06:32):
It is simply that famous quote. He meant what he said,
and he said what he meant.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Now it turns out that that didn't exactly got the
eye and didn't hit the bull's eye if you will here.
So after a few mister softy types got all offended
and very upset, Jerry said, you know what, I was
actually throwing a curveball, and I'm the smart guy and
you're the idiots, And here's what happened. Jerry has shown
(07:01):
remarkable perseverance determination. He has been pigheaded that he does
not want to pay these guys, any of them, not
right now. And will we get to week one of
the regular season with that being the kids, we're getting close.
We're only a few weeks away from the start of
(07:21):
real football. That's crap, fake football, real football right where
we're not that far away. We're not that far away.
Will Jerry cave in prior to that? Will he cave
in before that happens? And so far, no, that playoff gag.
That wound is still fresh from stinky cheese, the Green
Bay Packers kicking the tail of the Cowboys in Jerry's
(07:44):
world there, and so no one's getting paid right now.
We'll see he's got a few more weeks to make
it through and then we're okay. And then we're okay
right now. Secondly, as for the actual exhibition play on
the field, Cowboys and Rams, el stinko for both sides here,
you got to take it for what it's worth. And
normally we put this disclaimer up for the world here
(08:06):
that we do not engage in breakdowns of practice not
a game, not a real game. It's a practice game,
not a real game. Practice game. Right. However, we have
a show to do today, and so we have a
show to do today, and since I happened to be
partaking in the practice football, we will partake and we
(08:28):
will analyze what we saw in said practice football. Okay,
So when you talk about the Cowboys in Rams, which
there were a couple of games that were showcased on Sunday,
will bounce around these games for the Cowboys, how did
backup quarterback Trey Lance do for Dallas? How did he
do well, he looked like the same guy he's been
(08:51):
in the NFL, which ain't good. He pulled off one
of the great cons in NFL history. There should be
books written documentaries made about Trey Lance and his meteoric
rise up draft boards a couple of years ago. For
a guy who seemingly can't play, not at a high level,
(09:12):
not in the NFL. Against the ram backups, this guy
pulled off one of the great the bacles in NFL
draft history. Under the cloud of COVID a couple of
years back, he used classic skullduggery Trey Lance. He did
right to get the forty nine ers to trade I
think it was eight hundred and forty six draft picks
(09:33):
to the Miami Dolphins because this is what was there
forever quarterback, So they got him, They got there forever
quarterback there and the Dolphins got a bunch of scratcher tickets.
And then I think Trey Lance was the number three
overall pick in the draft all because of what measurables
and the nineteen games that he started at North Dakota State.
(09:55):
But really it was one season and then they had
the COVID year, and there was like three other games
and then that was it, and that was enough to
hypnotize and Mesmrin Lynch and Shanahan with the forty nine ers,
so they got their guy, except he can't play, and
then they were able to unload him on the Cowboys
(10:16):
because Jerry Jones is like, Wow, we got the number
three overall pick or whatever it was in the draft,
and we got him for pennies on the dollar because hello,
spoiler alert, that's what he's worth. Pennies on the dollar.
We saw it in this game here, Trey Lance. I'd
rather have Lance the bus driver at quarterback. Trey Lance,
doctor Doolittle in the NFL and drafted high, and you
(10:41):
got to be high that he's the only reason he's
still in the NFL is because of that, right, and
he's not very good Dink and Duncan. I know that
works for Dak Prescott didn't work here against the secondary players. Now,
speaking of the Rams, the final thought, several of you
reached out to me, you don't have a quarterback. If
Stafford gets hurt, you're screwed. All because of Stetson Bennett,
(11:05):
the old Georgia Bulldog from back of the day. So
it was not a masterpiece. Where the ram backup quarterback
who played the vast majority of this game. Your thoughts
on Stetson Bennett, who had not one, not two, not three,
but four interceptions for the Rams. So clearly the U
word comes to mind. Underwhelming. It was underwhelming any way
(11:28):
you break it apart here. What about the end of
the game he had the game winning touchdown. Okay, wonderful, wonderful,
and that means you were still watching the end of
an exhibition game. Bad job by you. But I say
hey for Stetson Bennett, the old Georgia Bulldog, get the bag.
When you watch this guy play, you need the bag,
but not the bag of money, the barf bag, because
(11:50):
you want to puke in your mouth watching him play quarterback.
He missed all of last season under mysterious circumstances. See,
you figure he's going to come out here like Gangbusters
against the backup for the Cowboys and not your prototypical
NFL quarterback Stetson Bennett. He had the four picks in
this game. And when I was watching and maybe I
(12:13):
missed it, maybe my TV was broken mostly with a
clean pocket and it wasn't like there was some hand
in his face. And then the pass was tipped over
here and over there. There was an interception in the
Bronco game. I was watching with the Colts with a
ball batted up in the air and said, okay, well
that's not that's not on the quarterback's fault, right He said, well,
(12:34):
it was a tip pass. Whatever this was unless I
missed something. Stetson Bennett was just sucked. He was just
bad at his job and that was it. So they
have Jimmy Garoppolo for some reason. I don't know why
he's on the rims, but he's there. I guess they
always have to have some old quarterback on the team
for Sean McVay. So they have Garoppolo, who is like
(12:54):
a lucky rabbits foot or something like that. You got
him as your backup, but he's suspended because he's a
steroid cheat for the first couple of games of the year.
And that means if Matthew Stafford is unable to be
healthy by the time the season starts and fully healthy
and ready to go, then the Rams are a Stetson
(13:15):
Matthew Stafford injury away from Stetson Bennett being the quarterback. Okay,
good luck on that. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you'd like to be part, Every single phone line
is wide open as we kick off the brain spanking
new week. I did spend some time there in New England.
Want to think all the handful of people came out.
(13:36):
I was wandering around the North end of Boston and
I just thought I'd give you a few hours notice.
And in a rainstorm, wasn't that bad? People showed up,
so that was very cool. I thank you for coming
out and saying hello. And a bunch of people said
they were going to be there, did not show up,
but that's fine. That usually happens. I didn't think anyone
was going to show up, because why would you. It
was raining and it was a last minute. All right,
(13:57):
straight ahead, an all star in damage control mode. An
all star in damage control mode. We'll get to that.
We'll take your calls and comments on x at Ben
Mahler will do it all, and we will do it next.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
You want me to say I've got the date here.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
All I'm gonna say here, I think the what is
it the twenty or twenty seventh? Twenty seventh? Right?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
No, I have the twentieth, Oh the twenty.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
You know the lack of communication between the how many
of us? Is there four of us? But it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
There is no communication. Literally, no one speaks before they
get here at all. There's no literally, I'm not this
is sometimes you just come in and say hello, but
there's no other communication.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
So so Eddie must know, because Eddie is the one
that's going to be filling in quotation.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, that's what I was told, Yes, Coop, Yes, be
prepared for.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The So I just realized I have another snaff foo
that day as well. So I haveing else that I
just have to now I have to do as well.
That's next week, right, today's hitting in the twelve, so
not this week, that would be the following week, correct,
But I just realized I have something so that might
be a Yeah, that's gonna be a long day.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
That's gonna be a very local radio are you well.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, not that day. But anyway, all right, well that's
my problem. See I didn't agree to do that, and
then I didn't realize that something else that had come up,
and so here we are. But anyway, we're back at
it talking about the first weekend of exhibition football. And
while I was sitting out with people. Eddie was free
loading at the Charger game. Cabana. Boy, they're hanging out
the game. Boy, yet again, I am the end of
(17:47):
the people, not Eddie Garcia there hanging out. I'm out
there standing in the rain, meeting people. That's what I do.
Uh you Eddie hanging out with the rich people, eating
the hot dogs and.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
The NOI and try.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Tip the whole thing. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I like the sausage, pulled pulled pork sliders. This was
really good food.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I enjoyed that. Did you watch the game? Did you
watch you? We were surrounded by Charger fans. You're a
Charger fan. You pretend to be a Steeler fan, but
we know.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
It's actually around. But I mean, it was terrible. It
came was just awful.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, Okay, Eugenie is Chicago rights, and he says, Ben
forget all that. By Friday or Saturday, my San Diego
Padres will take over the number one spot in the
National League West Division. Go Padres. Yeah, baseball is so
bad in Chicago, my man, Eugene, mister Chicago Sports. He's
done with the White Sox, doesn't care about the Cubs,
(18:45):
so he's now anything to annoy me. He's like, I
know he's gonna support the Padres. I'm not worried about.
In fact, part of me wants the Dodgers to go
in as a wild card team because when they won
the division and gone in as the overwhelming favorite, they
normally poop the diaper. So if they go in there
and barely get in, I think that would be more fun.
(19:06):
I'm all for it. So, Eugene, if the Padres want
to win the National League West, It's not like there's
any home field advantage in San Diego. It's the Dodgers
Stadium South. If the Dodgers play the Podres, it would
be filled with Dodger fans. So that's fine. It doesn't
really matter there. I'm fine with that. Let's go to
the phones. We'll say hello to Tony in the Bay Area.
What's going on, Tony? Welcome?
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Hey man, you missed it the other day. Berkeley Animal
Care Services actually has a dog's picture listed now. They
named them Odin, which Odi would be a good nickname
for him. They got a big description for him, but
the main thing was loyal. But who's playing the music today?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
That would be Loraina. She's the DJ.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Oh because she's doing such a great job. I would
like her to keep it up with the share and
my Little Pony. That's all I got. Thank you, by.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
You know what, I have the best My Little Pony
playlist on my phone.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Thank you, Tony. Well. Yeah, and the boys love that, Loranda.
There's one thing that the middle aged sports radio listener
loves is My Pony and that type of music loves it.
Can't get enough of it. They're dying for you. Just wait.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
I was thinking tonight would be an inspirational Monday song,
but now I'm thinking it's My Little Pony Monday.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, well that would be big. You know who'd like that? Petros,
but he's not here. He's sleeping right now. He's doing
whatever he's doing. He's not part of this. Who else
do you have? Page down? We'll skip over that one. I
see Art Puffin sending me random messages. Shane and des
Moines is up listening, King Roy Sayst Andre and his
dog Willis show up to your meet and greet in
(20:47):
Boston was not an official meet and greet. It was
more of a casual get together. It was not an
official meet and greet. It was not scheduled. It was
just out in the street in front of a bakery.
That's all it was.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
I saw you hanging out with Arnie.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yeah, I drove all the way to Vermont.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Why would you do such a thing.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I'd never been to Vermont, and now I know why
no one goes to Vermont, because I went to Vermont
and I realized that. As I told him at the
end of his show, we spent the day with Arnie
and we did everything you can possibly do in Vermont
in about four hours. Three three four hours. That was it.
And then it was good and a constant rain, constant rain.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Well, being around Arnie is kind of like being in
the rain constantly.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Anyway. Arnie was very excited. Though it turns smell good.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
I like the smell of rain.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Oh yeah, it smells Good's trees everywhere, it's like the outdoor.
Yeah yeah, it's wonderful if you like that kind of thing.
But Arnie, it's fair to say no one's really going
to visit Arnie these days, that it's just not a
lot of people going to Burlington, Vermont to hang out
with my man and this thinking genius Arnie. But we
had a good time. We had some good food and Arnie,
(21:52):
we told some old radio stories, old radio war stories
from back in the day. We worked together off and
on different shows, different stations for the years. So it
was good to catch up with Arnie. Let's say hello
to uh. Let's here. Oh, we just speak of him
and he shall up here. Now I did not meet Andre.
He did not show up. Neither did his dog, Willis,
or a lot of people asking about Willis. Hello Andre
(22:14):
in the commonweal Ben.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
Good evening, Bennett, It's good to be with you Willis
first of all. Then his apologies for not being at
the casual meet and greet. Now, I was surprised when
I saw it via social media, and I was I
kicked myself frankly that I didn't get that. I didn't
see the bat signal to be there. Willis not great
(22:36):
in cars, you know what I mean. Got the energy?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well, it doesn't. He doesn't bark in cars because he
doesn't barked out of cars, so you don't have to
worry about that.
Speaker 10 (22:47):
No, No, he's been known, he's he's been known to woof,
woof when we get on the open road. Very energetic.
He's been very energetic. So we got to have the
cage for him in the car. So the point of
fact that we would have taken all of these steps
to make it out to Beantown. How did I know
that this casual meet and greet was going to happen.
I'm glad that it did.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Curve.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
I saw you and Arnie on the open Road in VT.
I saw you on the open road and VT.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I should have.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Dived in and looked further in your message because you
said you were heading to Boston and that original message.
I just saw the smile and I was happy that
you were in the northeast. But I thought you were
too far north to you know, even consider it. But
that's that's why you got to trust to verify, right Ben,
I didn't do.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
That, That's right. Well I didn't. I didn't get to
meet you, and I also did not meet the great
to Alf, the Allien Opiner, who was unable to make Unfortunately.
I was hoping to see Alf, but he could not
make it, you know.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
What I mean. But it seemed that it went well. Again,
myself and Willis, we were glad, but we're a little
bit chagrined. I'm looking forward to Benny versus the Penny. Okay,
I gotta say you right now, it's the season. And
what's been going on? Because you started talking about the
fuller stith that Jerry Jones is perpetrating in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
What did that?
Speaker 10 (23:55):
CD Lamb led the team in receptions, led the team
in receiving touchdown twelve receiving touchdowns over what close to
eighteen hundred yards receiving.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Gary and what did that get the kid? If you're
Jerry Jones, where did that get the Cowboys? They are
lost in the playoffs in the first round, so that
somebody else will lead them in receiving and if CEDI
doesn't want to play, someone else will lead him in
touchdowns and all that. And know they can lose in
the playoffs or maybe not make the playoffs, but they
didn't win a playoff game playoffs, No, Jerry's I'm predicting
(24:25):
Jerry's gonna cave in. I'd be shocked he's made it
this way. I didn't think he was gonna make it
this far. Not paying the quarterback, the defensive star, the
wide receiving, none of those guests. He hasn't given any
of them a contract. I'll believe it when we get
to week two or three and he hasn't paid anyone
were still We're still in that gray area right now, exactly.
Speaker 10 (24:45):
And that's my point. As always, this is gonna come
out of the pocket of the hard working Dallas Cowboys
fans because Jerry's gonna wait till last minute, and the
cost is gonna go up and he's gonna end up
paying the exorbitant cart.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well, sorry, Scot, at this point, you might as well
wait because everyone's gotten paid just about. There's like a
handful of players that haven't gotten paid. All right, I
gotta go, Andre, But thank you man, the great Andre
from the Commonwealth, checking in there, having a fine time.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Aaron Judge, it is two hundred and ninety ninth career
home run and victory against the Rangers. He is on
the verge of being the fastest player in baseball history
three hundred home runs present state.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I don't know what else it went to fresh I went.
I don't know anyone else.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
So Ralph Kiner holds the major League record for fewest
games to get to three hundred. Aaron Judges is going
to set the new record. If he gets hurt today, yeah,
probably not gonna happen. Kyner did it in one thy
eighty seven games. Judge hasn't even played a thousand Major
League Baseball games yet.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
So you're calling your shot at I'm calling it okay.
That means bad things, some kind of high James's.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
That's that's the curse of the Ben. But curse of
Garcia curses over.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
What are you talking about? Man? How dare you all right?
It is the Ben Maler Show. Managing staff for your
supply chain is complex. Let Express employment professionals provide the
workforce you need. With Express you can lower contingent labor
costs and reduce turnover. Go to expresspros dot com to
find the location near here. This expresspros dot com fun fact.
(26:28):
Fun fact Maler fun fact. Al right, so this is
actually I was not playing on doing this fun fact.
But Eddie brought up the name Ralph Kiner. So one
of the great stories ever Told's fun fact. Ralph Kiner,
who's dead, But he was a Mets broadcaster for a
long time. On Sundays they had Kiner's Corner, which was
like his own like twenty minute show that he did
on TV, but he was playing for the Pirates. He's
(26:48):
a big star many many years back. And the GM
was this guy named branch Rickey who is most famous
for encouraging the Dodgers to bring in Jackie Robinson and
back in the day, and they made movies about branch
Ricky and all that, and he's tied together at the
hip to the Jackie Robinson story. So Ralph Kiner, who
(27:09):
had hit almost forty home runs or something like that,
he goes into branch Ricky's office and he says, hey,
I need I need some more money. I would like
to get a nice raise, and the GM of the Pirates,
branch Ricky said, no, I refused to give him a raise,
and Ralph Kinder was like, listen, I led, I led
(27:29):
the league in home runs, and you know we put
up his great numbers. And branch Ricky said, where do
we finish? And then Ralph Kinder said, we were in last place,
mister Rickey, and the legend goes, whether it's true or not,
it's become legend. Branch Ricky responded and says, we can
finish last without you. That's the famous line that has
(27:51):
been repeated. And much like we were talking about with
Andre and Ceedee Lamb after the Cowboys finished in the
last place, but they didn't win a playoff game, and
so they cannot win a playoff game without Lamb. Now,
Jerry Jhonsill came in, so it's irrelevant, but it is
an option. It is an option we have. Let's go
to the call Marked the full name guy. I did
see a golden ticket, but it went away. Hello Mark
(28:11):
the full name guy? He is he still in Medford, Oregon?
I don't know, Hello, Mark the full name.
Speaker 10 (28:17):
Oh I am an Athline Oregon.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I've been here over a week.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh, congratulations. Are you calm now? You're very angry. We're
stressful moving very stressful to move right.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yes, it was incredibly stressful and incredibly exhausting.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
Yeah, I am the most grateful you boy in America.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Bett Mallers in play, you just mentioned an injury to
Aaron Judge. You better look out?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
What What am I? What am I looking out for?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
What?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
You just mentioned an injury to Aaron.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I just pointed out down Eddie Garcia put the WAYMI
on Aaron Judge. That's all I'm saying. He put the
way on you are.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
You just you just wished for an injury.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I didn't wish for anything. There's no wishing that. There's
no wishing that. I didn't wish y. I just merely said,
Eddie prematurely crowned. He crown.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
It is in play.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
It is in play now.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
I had a little bunks back for you.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Ben Miller.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, well go ahead. You're on the air. You always say,
I censor you, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
Lake Snell has as many complete games as the entire
Dodger pitching staff, but.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Not as many World Championships because he has none, because
he's a loser and he couldn't finish that game in
Game six of the twenty twenty World Series, the hardest
World Series of all time. And you know it, and
I know it, and the guys are fraud and you
can have him. And I'm glad he's giants trash. I'm
happy he's giants trash. I'm so excited it about.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
D There you go shouting over me.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
That's right, that's one picture you don't.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Want your God, you can lie about.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
What are you talking about, the greatest moment of Dodger history,
beating that loser in the playoffs. Because he's a coward.
He could have finished the game. He couldn't stay in
there because he's soft. He's a softy blake stuff. Bro.
I ain't played unless I get mine. We're risking our light.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Bro, Come on, you're going to kill me?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You did you did? You said justifiable homicide? Did you
not say justifiable homicide? Yes? Or no? Yes or no? Yes? Here?
Now you get quiet? Now he gets quiet? Absolutely said
you remember? Remember he's shaking his head. Yes, he remembers.
He remembers what happened there. Dare you? It is the
(30:53):
Bane Mather Show. We will press on here with more
of these rivening phone calls. There's a developing story though
out of Boston. The Wokesters are very upset now. The
Red Sox are about as woke as you can get.
And they got a problem on their hands right because
the All Star Game MVP Jaren Duran during the game
(31:13):
with the cheating a one two, one thousand holes. On Sunday,
the hot microphone not a cold micaeh hot Mike on Nessan,
the New England Sports Network picked up Jaren Duran screaming
back at a fan who was screaming towards him, and
he described the fan as what they used to call
(31:35):
I don't know if they still do a cigarette in England. Yeah,
homophobic slur And turns out that the people watching and
listening very closely did not appreciate that. So there have
been a bunch of apologies issued. We assume there'll be
some kind of sensitivity training. Will he take a leave
of absence from the team because he said that? Who knows.
(32:00):
We'll see how big this story gets. But he was
the All Star Game MVP Jaron Duran and he's had
a big time year in Boston and now the Red Sox,
who are very image conscious. I think an apology will
not be enough. There will be more to come, as
the Red Sox took the weekend off there against the
cheating Astros. Time now for the who am I Game? Show?
(32:25):
Hey Oh Tony of the Doyers Show. Hel Tony has
reached thirty plus home runs, thirty plus stolen bases in
five plus triples. He did this in his one hundred
and fifteenth game with the Dodgers. I'm the only other
player in the modern era to reach those milestones within
the first one hundred and fifty games. With a team.

Who am I? That is the question. The answer will
get to it. We will do it next.
