Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our dubber three on a Benny
versus the Penny kind of day. That's on TV later
today on Peacock in on NBC cable, but here on
the radio on the Big Fox Sports Radio Show. Can
you explain the breathless Taylor Swift media coverage of her
attending a Chiefs game? Also, we'll talk some baseball. How
(00:20):
do you grade the Giants massive extension the third baseman
Matt Chapman. And why are the Yankees bringing broadcaster John
Sterling back for the playoffs? They kicked them out of
the broadcast booth, now they want him back for October.
We'll discuss that and a whole lot more as we
set a good audio example here in our number three
(00:44):
Look what you made me do?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Come in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. We are in the air evywhere cheek the chief.
As we are on the rocks, coast to coast, border
the border and beyond on the vast and incandescently powerful
(01:10):
microphones of fsre ammating live from the way as we
step right up to the mallor midway. The comedy club
will be opened later this hour broadcasting live from the
Tyraq dot com studios tyract dot com. We'll help you
get there and unmatt selection, fast free shipping, free road
(01:32):
hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in stallers, almost
as many listeners as Tammy and Montana has helped out
that are part of our show. Tire ract dot com
The Way Tire Buying Show be headline this hour from Arrowhead.
(01:53):
As we continue are around the clock in depth team
coverage of the NFL season opener, can City and Baltimore
in a game that did live up to the hype.
Is Lamar Jackson's got a Patrick Mahomes problem. He can't
beat him. That's his kryptonite. It happened again. Jackson had
(02:15):
a big statistical game, but could not make the play
at the end as the Ravens came this close, this
close to pulling out the victory, and the final play
of the game tight end. I zaa like right there
back of the end zone. Could not keep his feet
in bounds and that is how the game ended. Well
(02:38):
that was going on during the game. I popped out
of my email and I got a few emails. It
got my attention. You were grumbling you know who you are,
and maybe you know what I'm about to say. I
don't know, maybe not. So this is about not the
game itself. This happened as the game was going on,
and much of this happened before the game. This uprising,
(03:04):
if you will, this insurgency as a number of you
knuckleheads were annoyed that Taylor Swift's arrival at Arrowhead was
treated like the British Royal family had arrived, that the
British Royals were pulling up to Arrowhead. And I saw
some of it and I went by. I looked through
(03:25):
some of the headlines here and it was pretty funny.
Billboard said, these boots are made for cheering Taylor Swift
making a red hot return to watch Travis Kelsey. There's
another headline said swifties react, this is my favorite. Taylor
Swift makes her NFL season debut. Can we check the
(03:47):
box score? How many catches did she have? Jemmy Tackles
season debut? Oh yeah, another one said Taylor Swift fans
claim she saved the NFL by attending the first Chiefs game. Okay,
there were others. There were are. Let's be get the
gist of it, so let us discuss the question, can
(04:08):
you explain can you explain the breathless Taylor Swift media
coverage of her not playing but attending and she's been
to a bunch of games. Now it's not like it's new,
but the way this is being covered here Taylor Swift
at the Chiefs game. So I've got everything Bagel seasoning,
(04:30):
Paul Simon, and PBS, and we will combine all of
these things together and we'll say, how do partner? Is
what we're gonna say. So, first of all, the obvious
answer here is someone that plausibly makes my living in
the media, not the mainstream media, where the underground media is.
They're playing the hits, they're playing this. Taylor Swift is
(04:53):
the biggest, most powerful female entertainer in the world. Is
that accurate or in accurate? Am I being a biased American?
I don't even think there's any woman really all that
close to Taylor Swift in terms of stardom at this time.
And I'm not up on a lot of those big
(05:13):
headline pop culture type stories. As you know, I'm a
sporty guy, meat and potato a gazillion dollars, and we
live in an era of the faux star. We live
in an era of the fake star. We live with
the TikTok star, the Instagram influencer that is fueled by
(05:37):
bots and fake accounts, and that is the majority of
their fan base. And yet people don't take the time
to do the research. They think these are real famous people.
They're not. And some of them are able to fake
their way to a lot of money. But when it
comes to farming, and that's really what this is all about,
Taylor Swift is bigger than Pepperidge Farms, all right, Engagement farming,
(05:59):
That's what this is all about. And that is why
my colleagues in the media world, when they hear about
Taylor Swift, they immediately pivot and treat her like everything
bagel seasoning. They want to put her name went in doubt,
throw her name in every story, just shoehorn, shoehorn. Taylor
(06:20):
Swift's name in every story, even when it doesn't belong,
like the benign act of her arriving to watch a
football game, bizarrely great clickbait. You can't help yourself, admit it, right,
otherwise this wouldn't happen. You got the Three Musketeers, You've
(06:40):
got the glamour, you've got the wealth, you've got the
blinding fame. Put those all together and tenda, there you go.
And if people stop clicking, if she stops selling records,
and the stories obviously will evaporate and all that. As
far as the walk into the stadium, I still remember
as a young lad hearing a story from this is
(07:02):
actually an NBA story. David Stern he's dead now, but
he was the commissioner of the NBA and his marketing
people came up in the nineties with the idea that
they wanted to be more like boxing, and at that
time professional boxing was a big deal, and the big
thing in boxing was you show up, you make that
(07:24):
walk with your entourage, and they show you with your
entourage and not only going out to the ring, but
in the locker room, showing up to the locker room,
and it's all part of the build up. And so
they're like, we want to do some of that. So
they started showing. It was on NBC's NBA coverage. They
started showing Michael Jordan arriving at the old Chicago Stadium
and then the United Center in Chicago, and they've mastered
(07:47):
that and over the years, the other sports because everyone
copies everyone else and everyone cheats up everyone else's paper,
and so the other sports have done that. In the NFL.
Now you have players showing up in Taylor Swift showing up. Now.
The one thing I did love about the Taylor Swift story,
and I smiled when I saw this, is because it's
(08:08):
something we had talked about on the show. She must
be a listener high Taylor. Taylor Swift was sucking up
to our brothers and sisters up north. You see, she
wore her version of the Canadian tuxedo. She had the
the denim corset top there and she had the denim shorts,
so that's like the female Canadian tuxedo. Now, she did
(08:31):
have burgundy high high boots or whatever. Who cares about that,
but well, some people definitely cared about that. The only
thing she was missing, for full love of Canada was
a plate of poutine when she was walking to the stadium.
That would have completed the ensemble. Did not see any poutine,
No gravy was harmed, no fries were harmed. Didn't see that.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Secondly, we're gonna go away from the NFL, don't We're
gonna go back we'll go back. We're gonna go away
from the NFL right now. So let's talk baseball for
a few good minutes. Dateline, Bay Area. The Giants, who
thought for a couple of months they were going to
have a shot at the playoffs. They don't. But the
Giants have agreed to terms. That's the San Francisco Giants
(09:13):
with third baseman Matt Chapman. And he's the guy that
couldn't get a big contract in the offseason, so he
had to take a short contract and an opt out.
Where the Giants are smitten and they're giving their third
baseman a six year contract worth one hundred and fifty
one million dead presidents. He is now locked up through
(09:35):
the year twenty thirty. So quickly, quickly, how do you
grade the Giants' massive, massive extension for Matt Chapman. So,
for Matt Chapman, he gets an a crowning achievement. He
was able to find a sucker and bamboozle the Giants.
For the Giants, they get a D. Right, they get
(09:58):
the D because it's not my money. But at the
very peak, this is a marginal move from the baseball
team's perspective. It's not the kind of move that gets
you all tingling and want to go out and buy
garlic fries. It doesn't. And here's why. By the time
the San Francisco Giants are relevant again, which may not
(10:19):
happen in your lifetime or my lifetime, but by the
time they get there, Matt Chapman will be past as
used by date, past the shelf life will be thirty seven.
But wait, there's more. When you look at his game,
you look at his game, Matt Chapman is in a
Paul Simon song, Paul Simon Song's role one trick pony.
(10:41):
He's a one trick pony. His superpower is on defense.
He's won four gold Gloves. Offensively, he is generally underwhelming.
He'll hit a few home runs and doesn't hit for
average and usually strikes out a lot. And there's nothing
really awesome about that. All right, final thought, We now
go to the Catbirds seat in the Bronx. Now, I'm
(11:05):
not gonna sit here and talk about the bullpen, the
bullpen blunders of the Yankees. But this is about an
eighty six year old with golden pipes who is like Poltergeist.
He's back. He didn't see this. We're gonna ask you
the question, why are the Yankees bringing back the broadcaster
(11:27):
who they kicked out of the broadcast with John Sterling.
They're bringing him back. He's coming back, coming back now
to the battle zone that is the playoffs, and he'll
be there John Sling. Why are the Yankees bringing John
Sterling back for the playoffs? So I spent a minute
of time, a minute long Mallard investigation, putting this under
(11:48):
the spotlight. Big John Sterling fan, big fan of John Sterling.
And so the Yankees have had an epiphany and they
want to treat this like golf sking for forgiveness. They
would like what's called the mulligan. They they're admitting this
is a mission. The Yankees are admitting they royally screwed up.
(12:09):
They didn't think this through. Sterling had a couple of
terrible broadcasts. He's in his mid eighties. They said, all right,
we got to get rid of this guy. He's an
old geezer and he can't do the games anymore. And
they didn't have anybody lined up who was good enough
to consistently replace him, although wise this would not be happened.
Is that fair to say? Is it fair to say
(12:32):
the guys that have been doing the Yankee games, if
they were really, really good, that this would not happen.
I believe it is. And they're also following what I
call the PBS model. Back in the day, there was
this guy named Bob Villain or Villa Bob Villa, and
he hosted the show called the The Old House. And
(12:52):
so the Yankees are going this Old House. They're trying
to fix up the regal broadcaster. In this final chapter,
the Yankees were not impressed with the placeholder broadcasters they had.
I mean, they were throwing talk show hosts out from
wf AN. I'm surprised I didn't get a call to
do a Yankee game. Maybe they'll still call me. But
(13:14):
unless John Sterling all of a sudden regained his cognitive
abilities and his less senile which generally does not happen,
what else is it? I love it. I'm happy. I mean,
this is all John Sterling has. This is his life's passion.
He doesn't have any hobbies, and so I think it's
(13:36):
great and I'll enjoy hearing him. I'll try to catch
some of the broadcast on the dark web from the Yankees.
It is the Ben Mahler show. If you'd like to

Yeah, so I want to know my wife put this
out there and who you know is your biggest stand Yeah? Right,
I've left the moving industry. There will be no Mallet billboards,
no no Malaw warehouse. But it was kind of like
when Brady walked away and there was talks of ownership.
(21:32):
It's kind of still on the back burner, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Can you send me some more photos so I can
at least have the memories of that beautiful truck with
the name of the show on it.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Well, so the trailer has been sold, so that.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
But breaking you're breaking my heart.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
The truck still has the Malad branding and I am
now transitioning.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The very popular in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yes, I will be hauling entertainment concerts. So you know
you'll see the billboard crypt so you'll see the mall.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh okay, you're moving into that world. Nice.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well, I'm so moving equipment. My wife said I have
to give up the name, and that's not happening. No,
I'll be moving equipment. I'll be moving you know, yeah
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah. Can I ask a question from the back of
the room. Is there more Is there more money in that?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Uh? Not more, it's there's less expense, lower, lower growth numbers,
similar net numbers.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Okay, so there you're they're going to cover your expenses.
Is that the way it's going to go. More of
your expense.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, I mean the amount of move with moving, the
amount of expenses. And you know, as a small fleet,
the insurance costs are just astronomical.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
So yeah, And you were telling me, and I didn't
know this. In California, you're not allowed to drive more
than what fifty five? Is that right? You get to
drive a certain all.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I mean, there's the letter of the law and then
there's the spirit of the law.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'm a spirit of the law guy, too. I agree,
a spirit of the law. I'm all about that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Well, I've actually been told by CHP as long as
as you're not nine over in the truck, they don't care.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Okay, yeah, I got told. I got told one time
by cop and and this has worked in California. As
long as you're seventy nine and under, you're good. At eighty,
they start giving tickets. But there's so many people that
drive really fast, you know, in LA anyway, they don't
even bother if you're under eighty. But if you're over
(23:41):
eighty year you could get a ticket anyway. So I'm
glad you're doing well. You're doing better than the giants.
I know that.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well, next year will be a celebration, as you know,
Hall of Fame weekend. I can't wait for your monologue
praising Eli when he's inducted, and it'll be amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Ducked it into what what Hall of Fame will be inducted?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The old amnd you on your Top of the Hour
monologue though, well, the fact that you were Taylor Swift,
Fouteine and John Sterling and that was just that was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
It was poetry poet. Now moving man, Matt today at

by the powers that be at NBC that it will
be on there later today. It's not on right now,
but it will be on, which.

football star coopera maa Coop.

Okay, thank you Lorena, she sent me her pick. Make
sure we write this down. Coop. Lorena has said she
knows nothing about the Rams or the Lions. She would
actually like to see a Lion and a Ram in
a cage together. She tells me she thinks that would
be that would be a lot of fun, and uh,
you know it reminds me that that famous quote from
(27:48):
from Bill Parcells back in the day that, uh, he's
ripping some reporter. Maybe it was his wife. He said,
doesn't know whether the the ball is puffed or stuffed,
but she I love her, and she says she likes
the rams, so she's taking the rams plus the four points.
So they yeah, so they agree, So they agree.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Well that's no fun.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
That is no fun.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
I was hoping they would do, You're just gonna pick
one game?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Do you want to have him on the air longer?
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Well, can't he like email you his picks or something?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
He could do that, but he wants to be on
the air.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well, I understand that.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Okay, how about this if he does, if he agrees
to not be on the air, I can we can
do three games? That way we're guaranteed that, all right, yeah, okay, well, okay, okay, yes, goop?
What well?
Speaker 8 (28:39):
I mean I think everybody would agree that all the
games is way too many games? And then I was thinking,
what about just probably because how are you gonna choose
the three games every week? Because I was thinking maybe
the two primetime Sunday night Monday night. But you're you
just gonna pick three games at random or.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
No, you pick the big Sunday Night, Monday Night, and
then you pick one like the Big Fox Okay, okay game, yeah,
all right, all right, I like that, the three biggest
games of the weekend. All right, okay. So we're working
at the Kings. Do we have weed man by the ways?

Hello and welcome. It's our dubber three on a Benny
versus the Penny kind of day. That's on TV later
today on Peacock in on NBC cable, but here on
the radio on the Big Fox Sports Radio Show. Can
you explain the breathless Taylor Swift media coverage of her
attending a Chiefs game? Also, we'll talk some baseball. How
(00:20):
do you grade the Giants massive extension the third baseman
Matt Chapman. And why are the Yankees bringing broadcaster John
Sterling back for the playoffs? They kicked them out of
the broadcast booth, now they want him back for October.
We'll discuss that and a whole lot more as we
set a good audio example here in our number three
(00:44):
Look what you made me do?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Come in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. We are in the air evywhere cheek the chief.
As we are on the rocks, coast to coast, border
the border and beyond on the vast and incandescently powerful
(01:10):
microphones of fsre ammating live from the way as we

The Way Tire Buying Show be headline this hour from Arrowhead.
(01:53):
As we continue are around the clock in depth team
coverage of the NFL season opener, can City and Baltimore
in a game that did live up to the hype.
Is Lamar Jackson's got a Patrick Mahomes problem. He can't
beat him. That's his kryptonite. It happened again. Jackson had
(02:15):
a big statistical game, but could not make the play
at the end as the Ravens came this close, this
close to pulling out the victory, and the final play
of the game tight end. I zaa like right there
back of the end zone. Could not keep his feet
in bounds and that is how the game ended. Well
(02:38):
that was going on during the game. I popped out
of my email and I got a few emails. It
got my attention. You were grumbling you know who you are,
and maybe you know what I'm about to say. I
don't know, maybe not. So this is about not the
game itself. This happened as the game was going on,
and much of this happened before the game. This uprising,
(03:04):
if you will, this insurgency as a number of you
knuckleheads were annoyed that Taylor Swift's arrival at Arrowhead was
treated like the British Royal family had arrived, that the
British Royals were pulling up to Arrowhead. And I saw
some of it and I went by. I looked through
(03:25):
some of the headlines here and it was pretty funny.
Billboard said, these boots are made for cheering Taylor Swift
making a red hot return to watch Travis Kelsey. There's
another headline said swifties react, this is my favorite. Taylor
Swift makes her NFL season debut. Can we check the
(03:47):
box score? How many catches did she have? Jemmy Tackles
season debut? Oh yeah, another one said Taylor Swift fans
claim she saved the NFL by attending the first Chiefs game. Okay,
there were others. There were are. Let's be get the
gist of it, so let us discuss the question, can
(04:08):
you explain can you explain the breathless Taylor Swift media
coverage of her not playing but attending and she's been
to a bunch of games. Now it's not like it's new,
but the way this is being covered here Taylor Swift
at the Chiefs game. So I've got everything Bagel seasoning,
(04:30):
Paul Simon, and PBS, and we will combine all of
these things together and we'll say, how do partner? Is
what we're gonna say. So, first of all, the obvious
answer here is someone that plausibly makes my living in
the media, not the mainstream media, where the underground media is.
They're playing the hits, they're playing this. Taylor Swift is
(04:53):
the biggest, most powerful female entertainer in the world. Is
that accurate or in accurate? Am I being a biased American?
I don't even think there's any woman really all that
close to Taylor Swift in terms of stardom at this time.
And I'm not up on a lot of those big
(05:13):
headline pop culture type stories. As you know, I'm a
sporty guy, meat and potato a gazillion dollars, and we
live in an era of the faux star. We live
in an era of the fake star. We live with
the TikTok star, the Instagram influencer that is fueled by
(05:37):
bots and fake accounts, and that is the majority of
their fan base. And yet people don't take the time
to do the research. They think these are real famous people.
They're not. And some of them are able to fake
their way to a lot of money. But when it
comes to farming, and that's really what this is all about,
Taylor Swift is bigger than Pepperidge Farms, all right, Engagement farming,
(05:59):
That's what this is all about. And that is why
my colleagues in the media world, when they hear about
Taylor Swift, they immediately pivot and treat her like everything
bagel seasoning. They want to put her name went in doubt,
throw her name in every story, just shoehorn, shoehorn. Taylor
(06:20):
Swift's name in every story, even when it doesn't belong,
like the benign act of her arriving to watch a
football game, bizarrely great clickbait. You can't help yourself, admit it, right,
otherwise this wouldn't happen. You got the Three Musketeers, You've
(06:40):
got the glamour, you've got the wealth, you've got the
blinding fame. Put those all together and tenda, there you go.
And if people stop clicking, if she stops selling records,
and the stories obviously will evaporate and all that. As
far as the walk into the stadium, I still remember
as a young lad hearing a story from this is
(07:02):
actually an NBA story. David Stern he's dead now, but
he was the commissioner of the NBA and his marketing
people came up in the nineties with the idea that
they wanted to be more like boxing, and at that
time professional boxing was a big deal, and the big
thing in boxing was you show up, you make that
(07:24):
walk with your entourage, and they show you with your
entourage and not only going out to the ring, but
in the locker room, showing up to the locker room,
and it's all part of the build up. And so
they're like, we want to do some of that. So
they started showing. It was on NBC's NBA coverage. They
started showing Michael Jordan arriving at the old Chicago Stadium
and then the United Center in Chicago, and they've mastered
(07:47):
that and over the years, the other sports because everyone
copies everyone else and everyone cheats up everyone else's paper,
and so the other sports have done that. In the NFL.
Now you have players showing up in Taylor Swift showing up. Now.
The one thing I did love about the Taylor Swift story,
and I smiled when I saw this, is because it's
(08:08):
something we had talked about on the show. She must
be a listener high Taylor. Taylor Swift was sucking up
to our brothers and sisters up north. You see, she
wore her version of the Canadian tuxedo. She had the
the denim corset top there and she had the denim shorts,
so that's like the female Canadian tuxedo. Now, she did
(08:31):
have burgundy high high boots or whatever. Who cares about that,
but well, some people definitely cared about that. The only
thing she was missing, for full love of Canada was
a plate of poutine when she was walking to the stadium.
That would have completed the ensemble. Did not see any poutine,
No gravy was harmed, no fries were harmed. Didn't see that.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Secondly, we're gonna go away from the NFL, don't We're
gonna go back we'll go back. We're gonna go away
from the NFL right now. So let's talk baseball for
a few good minutes. Dateline, Bay Area. The Giants, who
thought for a couple of months they were going to
have a shot at the playoffs. They don't. But the
Giants have agreed to terms. That's the San Francisco Giants
(09:13):
with third baseman Matt Chapman. And he's the guy that
couldn't get a big contract in the offseason, so he
had to take a short contract and an opt out.
Where the Giants are smitten and they're giving their third
baseman a six year contract worth one hundred and fifty
one million dead presidents. He is now locked up through
(09:35):
the year twenty thirty. So quickly, quickly, how do you
grade the Giants' massive, massive extension for Matt Chapman. So,
for Matt Chapman, he gets an a crowning achievement. He
was able to find a sucker and bamboozle the Giants.
For the Giants, they get a D. Right, they get
(09:58):
the D because it's not my money. But at the
very peak, this is a marginal move from the baseball
team's perspective. It's not the kind of move that gets
you all tingling and want to go out and buy
garlic fries. It doesn't. And here's why. By the time
the San Francisco Giants are relevant again, which may not
(10:19):
happen in your lifetime or my lifetime, but by the
time they get there, Matt Chapman will be past as
used by date, past the shelf life will be thirty seven.
But wait, there's more. When you look at his game,
you look at his game, Matt Chapman is in a
Paul Simon song, Paul Simon Song's role one trick pony.
(10:41):
He's a one trick pony. His superpower is on defense.
He's won four gold Gloves. Offensively, he is generally underwhelming.
He'll hit a few home runs and doesn't hit for
average and usually strikes out a lot. And there's nothing
really awesome about that. All right, final thought, We now
go to the Catbirds seat in the Bronx. Now, I'm
(11:05):
not gonna sit here and talk about the bullpen, the
bullpen blunders of the Yankees. But this is about an
eighty six year old with golden pipes who is like Poltergeist.
He's back. He didn't see this. We're gonna ask you
the question, why are the Yankees bringing back the broadcaster
(11:27):
who they kicked out of the broadcast with John Sterling.
They're bringing him back. He's coming back, coming back now
to the battle zone that is the playoffs, and he'll
be there John Sling. Why are the Yankees bringing John
Sterling back for the playoffs? So I spent a minute
of time, a minute long Mallard investigation, putting this under
(11:48):
the spotlight. Big John Sterling fan, big fan of John Sterling.
And so the Yankees have had an epiphany and they
want to treat this like golf sking for forgiveness. They
would like what's called the mulligan. They they're admitting this
is a mission. The Yankees are admitting they royally screwed up.
(12:09):
They didn't think this through. Sterling had a couple of
terrible broadcasts. He's in his mid eighties. They said, all right,
we got to get rid of this guy. He's an
old geezer and he can't do the games anymore. And
they didn't have anybody lined up who was good enough
to consistently replace him, although wise this would not be happened.
Is that fair to say? Is it fair to say
(12:32):
the guys that have been doing the Yankee games, if
they were really, really good, that this would not happen.
I believe it is. And they're also following what I
call the PBS model. Back in the day, there was
this guy named Bob Villain or Villa Bob Villa, and
he hosted the show called the The Old House. And
(12:52):
so the Yankees are going this Old House. They're trying
to fix up the regal broadcaster. In this final chapter,
the Yankees were not impressed with the placeholder broadcasters they had.
I mean, they were throwing talk show hosts out from
wf AN. I'm surprised I didn't get a call to
do a Yankee game. Maybe they'll still call me. But
(13:14):
unless John Sterling all of a sudden regained his cognitive
abilities and his less senile which generally does not happen,
what else is it? I love it. I'm happy. I mean,
this is all John Sterling has. This is his life's passion.
He doesn't have any hobbies, and so I think it's
(13:36):
great and I'll enjoy hearing him. I'll try to catch
some of the broadcast on the dark web from the Yankees.
It is the Ben Mahler show. If you'd like to
be part, you can join us here. Speakeasy rules are

getting into politics and running for the presidency of Ireland.
There's an election next year in Ireland.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And didn't Manny Pacio become the president of the Philippines or.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
No, I don't think he did. He was a politician
in the Philippines. I don't think he actually won though.
There's like a dictator guy in the Philippines and he
and Pakia did not beat him. Unless I got that wrong,
I'm pretty sure he's he did not win that that election.
Let's get to the phones low and is a call
in show. We have lame jokes coming up a little
bit later, and let's say hello now to EENI, Meeni,
(20:58):
miney Moe. Let's say hello to moving man Matt, who's
checking in? Hello, moving man Matt, the highways and byways
of North America. What's going on the moving man? Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, so I want to know my wife put this
out there and who you know is your biggest stand Yeah? Right,
I've left the moving industry. There will be no Mallet billboards,
no no Malaw warehouse. But it was kind of like
when Brady walked away and there was talks of ownership.
(21:32):
It's kind of still on the back burner, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Can you send me some more photos so I can
at least have the memories of that beautiful truck with
the name of the show on it.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Well, so the trailer has been sold, so that.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
But breaking you're breaking my heart.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
The truck still has the Malad branding and I am
now transitioning.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The very popular in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yes, I will be hauling entertainment concerts. So you know
you'll see the billboard crypt so you'll see the mall.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh okay, you're moving into that world. Nice.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well, I'm so moving equipment. My wife said I have
to give up the name, and that's not happening. No,
I'll be moving equipment. I'll be moving you know, yeah
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah. Can I ask a question from the back of
the room. Is there more Is there more money in that?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Uh? Not more, it's there's less expense, lower, lower growth numbers,
similar net numbers.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Okay, so there you're they're going to cover your expenses.
Is that the way it's going to go. More of
your expense.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, I mean the amount of move with moving, the
amount of expenses. And you know, as a small fleet,
the insurance costs are just astronomical.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
So yeah, And you were telling me, and I didn't
know this. In California, you're not allowed to drive more
than what fifty five? Is that right? You get to
drive a certain all.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I mean, there's the letter of the law and then
there's the spirit of the law.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'm a spirit of the law guy, too. I agree,
a spirit of the law. I'm all about that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Well, I've actually been told by CHP as long as
as you're not nine over in the truck, they don't care.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Okay, yeah, I got told. I got told one time
by cop and and this has worked in California. As
long as you're seventy nine and under, you're good. At eighty,
they start giving tickets. But there's so many people that
drive really fast, you know, in LA anyway, they don't
even bother if you're under eighty. But if you're over
(23:41):
eighty year you could get a ticket anyway. So I'm
glad you're doing well. You're doing better than the giants.
I know that.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well, next year will be a celebration, as you know,
Hall of Fame weekend. I can't wait for your monologue
praising Eli when he's inducted, and it'll be amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Ducked it into what what Hall of Fame will be inducted?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The old amnd you on your Top of the Hour
monologue though, well, the fact that you were Taylor Swift,
Fouteine and John Sterling and that was just that was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
It was poetry poet. Now moving man, Matt today at
at your I assume you're at home. You're in Boston
right today at six o'clock Benny versus the Penny.
Speaker 2 (24:25):

I am okay, all right already it's I am told
by the powers that be at NBC that it will
be on there later today. It's not on right now,
but it will be on, which.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Will be amazing because I could not watch it in
the talk last tear. I can only watch it at home.

But it will be on there today. I gotta go,

in San Diego. He has been begging for years to
have a bit. We tried to get a farm animal.
We had a pig wind up. I don't know what
happened to Ozzy Oz. We did have a nice gentleman
(25:29):
from the ie the other day who did offer a
a one of his animals, pot Billy. I think it
was pot belly pig. But anyway, we've we've chosen to
go with Poppy versus Lorraina, a wonderful woman, loves her job.
She's off for a few days here, knows absolutely nothing
about sports. God bless her, and we've asked her to
(25:50):
pick a game against Poppy to see who can do
better against the spread. We're gonna Poppy, Are you there, Poppy?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, Yeah, I'm right here. Yeah, it's Poppy versus Arena.
That segment you love to hate or you hate too love.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Okay, all right, sayah, don't make me cancel this segment.
Do not make me cancel this segment. You're gonna make
me cancel this, you schmuck. Don't make me cancel this. Okay,
try to stay calm. Rams and Lions. Is the game
we're gonna pick. It is Sunday night Football. Everyone watches
Sunday Night Football. The Lions opened up a three point favorite.
(26:29):
They are four point favorites in the Motor City Matthew
Stafford versus Jared Golf, Lions and Rams Poppy. We'll let
you go first. Who do you like? Rams and Lions
minus four? The points break.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Minus four plus four. Look, I'm this game, revenge game.
We got the Rams.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Just just just tell me who you want just this house.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Look, look it's really it's a day job. I'm gonna
tell you. Break it down real quick.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
We've got Matthew Stafford Poppy.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Matthew Stafford is going in his old house against the Lions.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And look I just said I just said that.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, yeah, no, no no, but Poka Matana and Coop
and against the Lion. Everyone's going to Wold. Yes, I'm
loving the Rams. Okay, tough raps up and pro fatasy
football star coopera maa Coop.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Okay, thank you Lorena, she sent me her pick. Make
sure we write this down. Coop. Lorena has said she
knows nothing about the Rams or the Lions. She would
actually like to see a Lion and a Ram in
a cage together. She tells me she thinks that would
be that would be a lot of fun, and uh,
you know it reminds me that that famous quote from
(27:48):
from Bill Parcells back in the day that, uh, he's
ripping some reporter. Maybe it was his wife. He said,
doesn't know whether the the ball is puffed or stuffed,
but she I love her, and she says she likes
the rams, so she's taking the rams plus the four points.
So they yeah, so they agree, So they agree.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Well that's no fun.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
That is no fun.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
I was hoping they would do, You're just gonna pick
one game?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Do you want to have him on the air longer?
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Well, can't he like email you his picks or something?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
He could do that, but he wants to be on
the air.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well, I understand that.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Okay, how about this if he does, if he agrees
to not be on the air, I can we can
do three games? That way we're guaranteed that, all right, yeah, okay, well, okay, okay, yes, goop?
What well?
Speaker 8 (28:39):
I mean I think everybody would agree that all the
games is way too many games? And then I was thinking,
what about just probably because how are you gonna choose
the three games every week? Because I was thinking maybe
the two primetime Sunday night Monday night. But you're you
just gonna pick three games at random or.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
No, you pick the big Sunday Night, Monday Night, and
then you pick one like the Big Fox Okay, okay game, yeah,
all right, all right, I like that, the three biggest
games of the weekend. All right, okay. So we're working
at the Kings. Do we have weed man by the ways?
