Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
It's our number.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
One of the original recipe Ben Mahler Show podcast. Not
Extra Crispy, that Extra Spicy. That's the fifth hour podcast
on the weekend. But we thank you for swiping the
right direction and getting this podcast here an hour number one.
It's media a Musings. Give me your reaction on to
Woge walking away from his NBA insider career at the
(00:29):
very peak of his superpowers, saying he's done. How difficult
will it be to replace Woge? And what is the
magic formula for the insider that makes them so valuable
and irresistible. We'll get to all of that and much
more right now. It's like cotton candy for your ears.
(00:50):
It's our number one, one last Woge Bomb. Well, come
the beginning of another night of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere like minded.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Patrons, as we are.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Your echo Expo coast, the coast, border, the border in beyond,
on the vast and lavishly powerful microphones of fsre m
moating live from the cookware as we keep the pot
boiling all night long. We are broadcasting live from the
(01:34):
Tierraq dot com studios. Tireract dot Com will help you
get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars tyerract
dot com the way Tirebondy should be. NASA Bob approves
that number ten thousand. He let me know he likes
(01:56):
the number ten thousand. So our lead this hour. I
think this is the most interesting story, and since I
have editorial control, we're going to start with this. The
media a musings department because people in the business. I
am in freaking out what's going on. I can't believe
it out. I got major shakeup sports gossip world. I
assume you've heard by now, but maybe not. NBA reporter
(02:20):
Adrian Wojnarowski no more done as an NBA reporter. He
abruptly announced he's exiting stage left.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
NA NA, NA DA.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Good bye and as is his retirement from television journalism.
He's out. He announced it on social media, saying that
he quote no longer is driven to continue being an
NBA analyst, and so that's all she wrote, that's it
or all he wrote. He said he wanted to make
(02:58):
a substantial life change, and so that's that's what he's
going to do. He's not retiring he's just leaving the
NBA gossip beat. Instead, Woge will return to his alma
mater as the general manager at Saint Bonaventure. I didn't
even know that was a thing, I general manager. I
(03:18):
had no idea. They probably just made it up for him.
But woj is leaving some serious lettuce, some serious lettuce
on the table. I don't eaven a lot of lettuce
on the table. But wog twenty million dollars that he
was contractually garanteed. If he had just stayed at the
fledgling cable channel out there in Bristol, Connecticut, with the
(03:39):
other wokezers out there, he would have gotten the twenty million.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So let us discuss the question. The question is this.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Give me your reaction to Woge walking away from a
career where he was at the very top for what
he does.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You might say that's not valuable.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Maybe you don't care about the NBA insider, But Woje
was at the very top of that business and he
walks away.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So where's your reaction.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I've got John Candy spoon fed and Confucius.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, okay, well yeah, a little late.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It happens, all right, So a it is a stunter
from down under. It as my first thought, right, I
did not expect this when I woke up, that this
would be the story that people were texting me about.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
But you always wonder with these stories.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Good job, big money job, what's going on here? Right?
You don't generally leave these jobs? Why would you? They're
great jobs, they pay a lot of money there, they're
not that difficult.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Blah blah blah blah blah. So is he really leaving
on his own terms?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Is there's some kind of scandal that's going to come
out in the coming days and coming months or something
like that. But generally speaking, we don't. Our default position
is we don't believe these type of stories. However, this
is a little different that I have firsthand knowledge of
the person involved in the story. So it's not your
typical story we talk about somebody that we don't know
(05:10):
at all. But I generally say it's not as it's portrayed.
There's always more stuff involved. It's always more complicated than
what it appears on the surface. Now, having said that
and having a very small connection to WOJ back my
first sojourn into television and I worked at NBC and
(05:34):
briefly for about a year and a half. I traveled
back to Connecticut every year to do TV and Woje,
believe it or not, was a panelist on the show
that I worked on, and so I know him casually
and met his son that came up a couple times
to hang out with us at the TV thing and
actually loved baseball.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I remember that. That's what I remember about Wodu's kid.
He loved baseball. I wanted to be like a baseball
GM or something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But knowing how he operates and being around him a
few times over the over that period of time in
my life, it is reasonable that he would be exhausted.
And I think that's the right word here. While it
is an easy job, the way he did it was
slightly different.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
There's there's compulsive, and there's like next level compulsive and
all that stuff. The ultimate newshound, ultimate newshound, meticulous, methodical
with his approach, and you don't want to know exactly
how they make this stuff. But a lot of the
stories that came out early on for Wojes would come
(06:36):
from people who worked behind the scenes. Uh, And I
know when when I was out in locker rooms a
lot it's often the people you least suspect that are
the ones that are throwing the dirt and and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But uh, the lifestyle that he the way he did.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It, it was like the the John Candy character from
that old movie Planes, trains and Automobiles, a lot of traveling,
burning the midnight oil and never getting that deep rem sleep.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Kind of like what we do here doing overnights. We
don't get rem sleep. We work overnights.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But the whole point is you get those those three am,
three thirty am, five am message you're sleeping from some
trunk executive somewhere.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Hey, I got something for you walking our coach.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Or now Wog mentioned this, there's something that did resonate
with me because it's something that I have made a
point as I've gotten older in my life here to
highlight that time is not an endless supply. That was
a quote, and it is the most valuable commodity have
that he turned out millions of dollars here, assuming there's
no scandal.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
And walked away, Woge.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But because of the time things, he's in his mid fifties.
Now he's how long he's got You figure you live
a long time, but you never know. You don't know
what you don't know, and who knows if there's some
kind of medical thing we don't know about, et cetera,
et cetera. But the other thing I do know a
little bit. And I'm not an expert. I'm obviously not accountant.
But from what I understand, despite the celebrity that Woach had,
(08:11):
he lived a modest life in New Jersey there and
meaning that he had built up a rather large rainy
day fund, so he had few money to do something
like this where he self funded his four oh one K.
And you're making millions of dollars for many many years there,
and even when he was at Yahoo, he wasn't making millions,
(08:31):
but he was making high six figures. And so you
make that kind of money and you live on a
normal wage, you do the math on that you have
financial freedom to take a regular job that probably plays
a couple hundred thousand a year at Saint Bonnie's, and.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You can live the good life. You know why not?
All right? Now?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
The other part of this is page two, How difficult
is it going to be to replace whoas?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Something?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
People in my big since I had been talking about
I don't know, those are tough shoes to fill. And
the thing about this I was, I had this Pivnasz
coming to the studio. I was like, well, Woje in
terms of basketball, Adrian Wojnarowski is the greatest NBA insider.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He is.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I mean at one point there was like Pete VESSI
was the top guy years ago, year old. You know
who that name is, Pete Vessie. But Woje is the
top guy, and so he's right there at the very
top of the totem pole. But at the same time,
I can't help but say he's easily replaceable. That both
those things are simultaneously true. It's crazy to say that.
(09:37):
How could you say that you could just easily replace
the greatest insider per basketball all the time. So the
way I would approach this now, you just go down
to the forest and you find another enlightened young grasshopper
who's motivated and is willing to put the hours in.
But whoever gets the job. It's one of those deals where,
(10:00):
because of the way this cottage industry has blossomed over
the years, that you will be spoon fed information just
by being in that chair, like Wojo on his way
up wasn't necessarily spoon fed anything. He had to go
out and get it. But when you get to the
very top, you are then provided all of your meals,
(10:22):
all your supplements, everything you need.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And why is that? Because it's the lifeblood of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Adam Silver and his scatterbrain goblin helpers, they understand, they
don't like to talk about this, but the product in
the NBA is a bad product. The regular season blows
and it's just a bad deal. They've tried to convince
the players to play more, and they did play more
(10:50):
last year, and it still sucked in order to keep
fan engagement because everyone goes into autopilot during the regular season.
So in order to keep fan engagement, it's all about
the slinging. Who's getting traded, you know, which coach is
on the hot seat, Which star players loathe each other,
can't stand each other. That's all the juicy goodness. It's
(11:11):
not a random Wednesday night when the Grizzlies are playing
the Pelicans. That's not what creates excitement, all right, last
word here, So what is the magic formula?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
All wise?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
One, what is the magic formula for the insider that
makes them so valuable?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Glad you asked.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So it is a public service, sports entertainment. It's entertainment,
So you start with that. We like to be entertained.
Humans like to be entertained. Animals don't out in the serengetti,
they're not really looking for entertainment. But human beings, we
look for entertainment. And in short, every man, woman and
child is hardwired to consume gossip. It's just the way
(11:55):
we are. We all get through life. Now that there's
been research done on that, that says, part of it's
for our safety, your gossip who might be a threat
to you. In this case, we gossip on what kind
of fetacini Lebron James had for lunch yesterday, that kind
of stuff. But gossip is the human equivalent of like
(12:15):
primate grooming. It's the same same concept, right, It's the
same deal here, and it's a universal feature across the world. Right, people,
human beings all over the world do the same thing.
It was Confucius who pointed out that the gossip manger, right,
is the outcast of virtue, the outcast of virduce. It's
a guilty pleasure.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It is.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's everywhere I've worked, people gossip at work, right, You
gossip about your co workers, you gossip about.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Your It's just what people do in sports.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I mean, there's so much of it, and it drives engagement,
which is a big part of it. And so like
sports journalism is kind of a funny thing here, but
it's all form of entertainment and so we all like
to be entertained.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And so there you go.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
There are people you have paid to say things.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I don't have that you don't have that making a
lot of money that we are really getting old addy.
Guys that we know that we've dealt with are now retiring.
It was very not really retired, but he's stepping away
from his job and he's very disappointed.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
In the story I read, they did not mention Woja's
time at the Fresno b when I knew him back when.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, Nor did they mention his time on the panel
at Sports Talk at at the NBCs Network in Stanford, Connecticut.
I mean, I thought that show really changed Woes's career.
And I still love the fact that he absolutely hated
ESPN when he worked there and he ended up going there.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
This is so great.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
It's funny. It's funny is because he was absolutely despised
in Fresno, not because he wasn't good at his job,
but they had that Fresno B the the little local
newspaper hired him to cover Jerry Tarkanian, who was hired
to come back to his alma mater and coach there,
and there was all kinds of shenanigans going on, as
(16:50):
you would expect with with Tark, Tark the shark and
he he went after Tark all the time, and the
people there in Fresno did not like that one out.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Exact carpetbagger, these parts stop with these stories about samurai swords.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
What's wrong with you? My god?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Paul writes in He says, now Mahler wants to be
among the new class of insiders, replacing WOJ and battling
Shifty and Shams to be the top. Like, no, I'm good,
I don't need to do that, but I did do
a gossip website back in the day.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
So I'm just saying, if they want to contact me
late night.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Drug test just says WOJ is stepping aside, so Lebron
and Rich Paul can just break the news since they
are in charge of the NBA and all the player contracts.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I hear you on that.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Who else we have paid down? Let's see here, can't
read that? King Roy says, I didn't realize it was
mid April since you are doing an hour one monologue
on the NBA. But these guys get so triggered, dude,
like chill out man, take some meds, King Rory, what's
wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
It's about woe. It's not about the NBA. Oh yeah, good,
you gotta have.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
And then he says, where is the love for my
Milwaukee Brewers? The team nobody thought would be there? They
are now.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
They won it this like the third time in four
years they've won the division. Who didn't think they would
be there?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Playoff bound and NL Central champs. Pat Murphy should be
the NL Manager of the year. Well, we do have
something for you, King Roy, will throw you a bone.
We have some good audio here. So Pat Murphy's the
guy that got the job because Craig Counsel took the
money and ran to Chicago to have the Cubs missed
the playoffs there in the Windy City, but Murphy stuck around.
He was actually gonna go to the Cubs as the
(18:34):
right hand man for Craig Council, who is the highest
paid manager in baseball for the Cubs left the Brewers.
So the Brewers are head of the playoffs with the
sixth time in the last seven years, their fourth division
title during that timeframe. But we have great audio, and
the great audio comes from Pat Murphy and mister baseball,
Bob Buker. Now we're gonna play this because we have it.
(18:57):
I want to The audio is a little You gotta
listen close. I know you're probably working. You're probably working
a little bit. You got something going on. Me, you're driving,
you're not completely focused. But I want you to listen.
I'll tell you what they say after. But listen to
Pat Murphy. He's in the locker room. They're having their
champagne celebration, and the Brewers manager is standing next to
(19:17):
Bob Buker.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
There is no one who epitomizes as a champion the
way this man does right here.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
There is no one out here.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
What an example for us to be with every single day,
Bob Buker, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't know if you could make that out. Did
you make out what he said? Eddie, you're wearing headphones.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Did you say something about he pete his pants?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yes, Bob Buker announced in the Brewers clubhouse on camera
that he.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Peede his pants. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And he's ninety years old. So when you get to ninety,
you were allowed to pick so champion. And it turns
out Bob Yucker was on a championship team the nineteen
sixty four World Series, the Saint Louis Cardinals and the
New York Yankees, and Uker did win a World Series.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
You know, Ben, I hate to have an opinion on this.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Why Lorena needs encouraged to have an opinion.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I went to a love Long Beach festival a few
years back, and there was a gentleman who was waiting
in line for the restroom. Oh no, and he did
not make it in time. So he went to the
side of the porta potti, right, sure, but he did
not unbton his pants in time. So it was a
public So, yeah, he peat his pants, but he said,
with the most proud voice I've ever heard, this is
(20:47):
not my first rodeo. And he walked away so confidently
in his white pants with the yellow pea stain all
the way down the front.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Got old, man, you gotta go. He didn't try to
been like downplay like pour water on the.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
No.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
I love that for him.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Okay, well that's good, all right.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Ever had a situation, Lorena where you don't make no.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Actually, second grade, I was listening to my friend tell
her story about her dying goldfish, and I did not
make it to the bathroom on time.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's unfortunate. It was very unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Anyway, Well, Bob yucker Man, he's still doing He doesn't
do all the games. He's ninety years old, but he
still does the Brewers games on the radio there in Milwaukee.
So hanging out, David writes and says Mallard now only
has Schefter as his go to insider with his beloved
woes hanging it up. Yeah, Shifty Shifty used to work here,
(21:42):
believe it or not. He was it was starting out.
He was a NFL insider for us and not not anymore.
Anthony and Anaheim says, I watched the guy so drunk
he just peed all over himself while sitting in a chair.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Oh good, that's uh, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Well, yeah, a certain point in your life, it's kind
of it's where it's one of those things. When you're
a kid you're allowed to not control your bladder, and
then when you're really old on the way out, you're not.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You're allowed in not cult, but in between you're supposed
to control your bladder.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
You can go anywhere anytime.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yes, Adrian says, this is the pokey pokey Pokey Guy says, Ben,
you still have your Jets jersey when you were a
Jets fan. I think I have it. I've moved a
couple of times since then, so I got the Woody.
I had the Woody jersey. So I don't know what
they are. It's somewhere I probably could find it. I
think I have it. Rock Hard, I wouldn't get rid
(22:38):
of it. Why would I get rid of that? Fergdug
says after today's Clutch series win, I'd like to apology.
I like an apology from everyone who thought the White
Sox would march into Fullerton adjacent Anaheim and walk all
over my Halos.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That includes you, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Eddie, would you like to apologize to Ferg Dog for
your blasphemy against the Halos?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
No? Because they needed extra innings to beat the White Sox.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
How many people were at that game? It was a
day game?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Dozens?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah? Stuck?
Speaker 8 (23:05):
I like, who's ever in charge of the Chicago White
Sox social media?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
On Twitter?
Speaker 8 (23:11):
They just tweeted out final and then it says the
other team scored more runs than us, which is no score?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Actually correct? Right, It's actually correct, It's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Stuck in Sacramento, says he had another solid a on
the Mally monologue.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I literally sleep early so I can wake up for
four glorious hours of radio perfection. I guess my mind
off this wretched city. I live.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Viva another twenty years of the Ben Malor Show. One day,
he hopes to be a p one well call up,
take the oath, knock yourself out, take the oath?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
We'll take some of these calls coming up. But we
had the the crew for you. Bob Buker announcing on
television in the clubhouse there he had he had urinated
and he did not make it.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
He peaed his be sure to catch live editions of
The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
We kind of spoiled this a little bit, but it's
still fun to play. Did the White Sox lose.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
You can put it on the ball.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Yes, they'll lose four to three to the Angels in
thirteen innings. So that's one hundred and seventeen losses. Now
for the Pale Hose, four losses away from breaking the record,
the modern day record four losses in a season. With
nine games left.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
To go, we believe in you. We believe you can
do it now.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Eat writes in he says that Marcel and Brooklyn is
the obvious choice to replace woj That's what he I
think that'd be great.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I think that would be wonderful as well.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Nick writes in nixt to the Windys Guy, Remember the
Windy's guy. He says, if the Twins collapse and missed
the playoff, do you see Rock Gobald Deli getting canned
or the cheap pole ads keeping him?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, I think they'll keep him. They'll they'll cook up.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Some excuse, it's not his fault, plausible deniability.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun
fun fun fact. It's not official official, but Ellen dela Cruz,
if your Cincinnati Reds is about to make baseball history.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Just a few weeks to go in the.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Baseball season, La de la Cruz is on pace to
become the first player to lead Major League Baseball in
both strikeouts and steals in the same season. So tremendous
job by Elie de la Cruz. There whiffing at a
rapid rate, and when he gets on base, you can't
steal first, but when he gets on running off and
(25:42):
stealing second and third and all that, so good.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Job by by him.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
And another one bites the dust. Another one bites the dust,
the Dwyers, who are stumbling and bumbling their way to
the finish line of the baseball season. The smartest people
in baseball have absolutely shredded their pitching staff. The Dodgers
currently have three members of the starting rotation on the
(26:09):
injury list. Tyler Glass now done for the year, Clayton
Kershaw's out.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
And Gavin Stone.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Gavin Stone also out, and they've had the injuries.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Of Walker Buler has been terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
He came back from Tommy John Yoshinobu Yamamoto also missed
most of the season with injury.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Dave Roberts revealing that Gavin Stone will not be returning
later this season very unlikely that he will return. Another
pitcher who's in his mid twenties. Kershaw's older, but this
guy's in his mid twenties. And despite all the pitch counts,
the appearance limits, the.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Innings limits, all they've got, all they've got.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
They figured out medical science, the Dodgers, they got all
the answers and these guys, despite Baby seeing all these pitchers,
they keep falling apart. And it is a bit of
irony that a conversation I had on my podcast The
Fifth Hour with a guy who's synonymous with injuries, Tommy John.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Tommy John is one of those guys. He's still alive.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
He's a real person, not just the clothing brand or
an injury. But Tommy John was the guy, one of
the guys that was campaign you gotta throw more, not less,
you gotta throw more. And everyone just ignores, Oh, you're
just a boomer. You don't know what you're talking about.
And then you got the smart young guys absolutely shredding.
It's shredded pork is what it is. The Dodger, the
(27:37):
Dodger pitching staff, wild wild, wild wild.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
All right, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Johnny, Hello, Johnny, and he is Johnny.
Speaker 2 (27:46):

Speaker 3 (28:19):

Speaker 2 (28:22):
I think I'm gonna go first, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I think this guy is drinking a beverage named after him,
Johnny Walker Blue, the Blue.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
That's it's very expensive.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And I'm gonna say, are you saying he's poor? Is
that what you're saying? Does listen to the show? Ed

Eddie.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
You're making that you're so hammer you don't even know
what you're drinking.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
You're making that up.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Why can't Edie win the game?
Speaker 2 (29:27):
But he can't won yesterday looking up at Mike took
us the all.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Time wins king, all time wins radio game shows.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Someday when I go.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Into the don't we don't cheat on what? Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You just you just admit it? Yes you did, Johnny.
I can tell you're a cheater. Johnny. You sound like
a cheater. Jock. You're probably a fan of alt, aren't
you You like that Al touve? Don't you know? I
think you do?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I think you do, Johnny?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, yeah, how about these? You're God.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I hate when that happens.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I hate when that happened so exactly. Temper tantrum, No

Speaker 1 (30:13):
I just know alcohol. I'm an expert when it comes down.

Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
It's our number.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
One of the original recipe Ben Mahler Show podcast. Not
Extra Crispy, that Extra Spicy. That's the fifth hour podcast
on the weekend. But we thank you for swiping the
right direction and getting this podcast here an hour number one.
It's media a Musings. Give me your reaction on to
Woge walking away from his NBA insider career at the
(00:29):
very peak of his superpowers, saying he's done. How difficult
will it be to replace Woge? And what is the
magic formula for the insider that makes them so valuable
and irresistible. We'll get to all of that and much
more right now. It's like cotton candy for your ears.
(00:50):
It's our number one, one last Woge Bomb. Well, come
the beginning of another night of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere like minded.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Patrons, as we are.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Your echo Expo coast, the coast, border, the border in beyond,

that number ten thousand. He let me know he likes
(01:56):
the number ten thousand. So our lead this hour. I
think this is the most interesting story, and since I
have editorial control, we're going to start with this. The
media a musings department because people in the business. I
am in freaking out what's going on. I can't believe
it out. I got major shakeup sports gossip world. I
assume you've heard by now, but maybe not. NBA reporter
(02:20):
Adrian Wojnarowski no more done as an NBA reporter. He
abruptly announced he's exiting stage left.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
NA NA, NA DA.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Good bye and as is his retirement from television journalism.
He's out. He announced it on social media, saying that
he quote no longer is driven to continue being an
NBA analyst, and so that's all she wrote, that's it
or all he wrote. He said he wanted to make
(02:58):
a substantial life change, and so that's that's what he's
going to do. He's not retiring he's just leaving the
NBA gossip beat. Instead, Woge will return to his alma
mater as the general manager at Saint Bonaventure. I didn't
even know that was a thing, I general manager. I
(03:18):
had no idea. They probably just made it up for him.
But woj is leaving some serious lettuce, some serious lettuce
on the table. I don't eaven a lot of lettuce
on the table. But wog twenty million dollars that he
was contractually garanteed. If he had just stayed at the
fledgling cable channel out there in Bristol, Connecticut, with the
(03:39):
other wokezers out there, he would have gotten the twenty million.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So let us discuss the question. The question is this.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Give me your reaction to Woge walking away from a
career where he was at the very top for what
he does.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You might say that's not valuable.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Maybe you don't care about the NBA insider, But Woje
was at the very top of that business and he
walks away.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So where's your reaction.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I've got John Candy spoon fed and Confucius.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, okay, well yeah, a little late.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It happens, all right, So a it is a stunter
from down under. It as my first thought, right, I
did not expect this when I woke up, that this
would be the story that people were texting me about.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
But you always wonder with these stories.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Good job, big money job, what's going on here? Right?
You don't generally leave these jobs? Why would you? They're
great jobs, they pay a lot of money there, they're
not that difficult.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Blah blah blah blah blah. So is he really leaving
on his own terms?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Is there's some kind of scandal that's going to come
out in the coming days and coming months or something
like that. But generally speaking, we don't. Our default position
is we don't believe these type of stories. However, this
is a little different that I have firsthand knowledge of
the person involved in the story. So it's not your
typical story we talk about somebody that we don't know
(05:10):
at all. But I generally say it's not as it's portrayed.
There's always more stuff involved. It's always more complicated than
what it appears on the surface. Now, having said that
and having a very small connection to WOJ back my
first sojourn into television and I worked at NBC and
(05:34):
briefly for about a year and a half. I traveled
back to Connecticut every year to do TV and Woje,
believe it or not, was a panelist on the show
that I worked on, and so I know him casually
and met his son that came up a couple times
to hang out with us at the TV thing and
actually loved baseball.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I remember that. That's what I remember about Wodu's kid.
He loved baseball. I wanted to be like a baseball
GM or something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But knowing how he operates and being around him a
few times over the over that period of time in
my life, it is reasonable that he would be exhausted.
And I think that's the right word here. While it
is an easy job, the way he did it was
slightly different.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
There's there's compulsive, and there's like next level compulsive and
all that stuff. The ultimate newshound, ultimate newshound, meticulous, methodical
with his approach, and you don't want to know exactly
how they make this stuff. But a lot of the
stories that came out early on for Wojes would come
(06:36):
from people who worked behind the scenes. Uh, And I
know when when I was out in locker rooms a
lot it's often the people you least suspect that are
the ones that are throwing the dirt and and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But uh, the lifestyle that he the way he did.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It, it was like the the John Candy character from
that old movie Planes, trains and Automobiles, a lot of traveling,
burning the midnight oil and never getting that deep rem sleep.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Kind of like what we do here doing overnights. We
don't get rem sleep. We work overnights.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But the whole point is you get those those three am,
three thirty am, five am message you're sleeping from some
trunk executive somewhere.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Hey, I got something for you walking our coach.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Or now Wog mentioned this, there's something that did resonate
with me because it's something that I have made a
point as I've gotten older in my life here to
highlight that time is not an endless supply. That was
a quote, and it is the most valuable commodity have
that he turned out millions of dollars here, assuming there's
no scandal.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
And walked away, Woge.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But because of the time things, he's in his mid fifties.
Now he's how long he's got You figure you live
a long time, but you never know. You don't know
what you don't know, and who knows if there's some
kind of medical thing we don't know about, et cetera,
et cetera. But the other thing I do know a
little bit. And I'm not an expert. I'm obviously not accountant.
But from what I understand, despite the celebrity that Woach had,
(08:11):
he lived a modest life in New Jersey there and
meaning that he had built up a rather large rainy
day fund, so he had few money to do something
like this where he self funded his four oh one K.
And you're making millions of dollars for many many years there,
and even when he was at Yahoo, he wasn't making millions,
(08:31):
but he was making high six figures. And so you
make that kind of money and you live on a
normal wage, you do the math on that you have
financial freedom to take a regular job that probably plays
a couple hundred thousand a year at Saint Bonnie's, and.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You can live the good life. You know why not?
All right? Now?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
The other part of this is page two, How difficult
is it going to be to replace whoas?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Something?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
People in my big since I had been talking about
I don't know, those are tough shoes to fill. And
the thing about this I was, I had this Pivnasz
coming to the studio. I was like, well, Woje in
terms of basketball, Adrian Wojnarowski is the greatest NBA insider.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He is.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I mean at one point there was like Pete VESSI
was the top guy years ago, year old. You know
who that name is, Pete Vessie. But Woje is the
top guy, and so he's right there at the very
top of the totem pole. But at the same time,
I can't help but say he's easily replaceable. That both
those things are simultaneously true. It's crazy to say that.
(09:37):
How could you say that you could just easily replace
the greatest insider per basketball all the time. So the
way I would approach this now, you just go down
to the forest and you find another enlightened young grasshopper
who's motivated and is willing to put the hours in.
But whoever gets the job. It's one of those deals where,
(10:00):
because of the way this cottage industry has blossomed over
the years, that you will be spoon fed information just
by being in that chair, like Wojo on his way
up wasn't necessarily spoon fed anything. He had to go
out and get it. But when you get to the
very top, you are then provided all of your meals,
(10:22):
all your supplements, everything you need.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And why is that? Because it's the lifeblood of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Adam Silver and his scatterbrain goblin helpers, they understand, they
don't like to talk about this, but the product in
the NBA is a bad product. The regular season blows
and it's just a bad deal. They've tried to convince
the players to play more, and they did play more
(10:50):
last year, and it still sucked in order to keep
fan engagement because everyone goes into autopilot during the regular season.
So in order to keep fan engagement, it's all about
the slinging. Who's getting traded, you know, which coach is
on the hot seat, Which star players loathe each other,
can't stand each other. That's all the juicy goodness. It's
(11:11):
not a random Wednesday night when the Grizzlies are playing
the Pelicans. That's not what creates excitement, all right, last
word here, So what is the magic formula?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
All wise?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
One, what is the magic formula for the insider that
makes them so valuable?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Glad you asked.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So it is a public service, sports entertainment. It's entertainment,
So you start with that. We like to be entertained.
Humans like to be entertained. Animals don't out in the serengetti,
they're not really looking for entertainment. But human beings, we
look for entertainment. And in short, every man, woman and
child is hardwired to consume gossip. It's just the way
(11:55):
we are. We all get through life. Now that there's
been research done on that, that says, part of it's
for our safety, your gossip who might be a threat
to you. In this case, we gossip on what kind
of fetacini Lebron James had for lunch yesterday, that kind
of stuff. But gossip is the human equivalent of like
(12:15):
primate grooming. It's the same same concept, right, It's the
same deal here, and it's a universal feature across the world. Right, people,
human beings all over the world do the same thing.
It was Confucius who pointed out that the gossip manger, right,
is the outcast of virtue, the outcast of virduce. It's
a guilty pleasure.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It is.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's everywhere I've worked, people gossip at work, right, You
gossip about your co workers, you gossip about.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Your It's just what people do in sports.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I mean, there's so much of it, and it drives engagement,
which is a big part of it. And so like
sports journalism is kind of a funny thing here, but
it's all form of entertainment and so we all like
to be entertained.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And so there you go.
Speaker 1 (13:00):

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, you blubber listen, jam in me. Well you know
what it's called over promise.

about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised. Well, if
you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you

So maybe we'll go at it even a little harder.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
The great silent majority of listeners to the Ben Malor
Show sit on the sidelines, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Mahlor Show. Is follow your host
on x He's at Ben Mallor and you can post
at and follow me. Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick, the
voice of reason, your news guy, You're announcer guy. I'm
(15:22):
at Eddie on Fox. Now put my stick right in
your mouth now. I will do that if I have to.
If you don't listen for the entire four hours and
then listen to Puck the World in the final hour
of this show, then I will have to put my
stick in your mouth. That is my weekly NHL report.
My god, it's awesome at out live from the tire
rac dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
The only one saying it's awesome is you. Eddie, no
one else is not true. Awesome, plenty of puckheads out there.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
There are people you have paid to say things.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I don't have that you don't have that making a
lot of money that we are really getting old addy.
Guys that we know that we've dealt with are now retiring.
It was very not really retired, but he's stepping away
from his job and he's very disappointed.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
In the story I read, they did not mention Woja's
time at the Fresno b when I knew him back when.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, Nor did they mention his time on the panel
at Sports Talk at at the NBCs Network in Stanford, Connecticut.
I mean, I thought that show really changed Woes's career.
And I still love the fact that he absolutely hated
ESPN when he worked there and he ended up going there.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
This is so great.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
It's funny. It's funny is because he was absolutely despised
in Fresno, not because he wasn't good at his job,
but they had that Fresno B the the little local
newspaper hired him to cover Jerry Tarkanian, who was hired
to come back to his alma mater and coach there,
and there was all kinds of shenanigans going on, as
(16:50):
you would expect with with Tark, Tark the shark and
he he went after Tark all the time, and the
people there in Fresno did not like that one out.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Exact carpetbagger, these parts stop with these stories about samurai swords.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
What's wrong with you? My god?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Paul writes in He says, now Mahler wants to be
among the new class of insiders, replacing WOJ and battling
Shifty and Shams to be the top. Like, no, I'm good,
I don't need to do that, but I did do
a gossip website back in the day.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
So I'm just saying, if they want to contact me
late night.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Drug test just says WOJ is stepping aside, so Lebron
and Rich Paul can just break the news since they
are in charge of the NBA and all the player contracts.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I hear you on that.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Who else we have paid down? Let's see here, can't
read that? King Roy says, I didn't realize it was
mid April since you are doing an hour one monologue
on the NBA. But these guys get so triggered, dude,
like chill out man, take some meds, King Rory, what's
wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
It's about woe. It's not about the NBA. Oh yeah, good,
you gotta have.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
And then he says, where is the love for my
Milwaukee Brewers? The team nobody thought would be there? They
are now.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
They won it this like the third time in four
years they've won the division. Who didn't think they would
be there?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Playoff bound and NL Central champs. Pat Murphy should be
the NL Manager of the year. Well, we do have
something for you, King Roy, will throw you a bone.
We have some good audio here. So Pat Murphy's the
guy that got the job because Craig Counsel took the
money and ran to Chicago to have the Cubs missed
the playoffs there in the Windy City, but Murphy stuck around.
He was actually gonna go to the Cubs as the
(18:34):
right hand man for Craig Council, who is the highest
paid manager in baseball for the Cubs left the Brewers.
So the Brewers are head of the playoffs with the
sixth time in the last seven years, their fourth division
title during that timeframe. But we have great audio, and
the great audio comes from Pat Murphy and mister baseball,
Bob Buker. Now we're gonna play this because we have it.
(18:57):
I want to The audio is a little You gotta
listen close. I know you're probably working. You're probably working
a little bit. You got something going on. Me, you're driving,
you're not completely focused. But I want you to listen.
I'll tell you what they say after. But listen to
Pat Murphy. He's in the locker room. They're having their
champagne celebration, and the Brewers manager is standing next to
(19:17):
Bob Buker.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
There is no one who epitomizes as a champion the
way this man does right here.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
There is no one out here.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
What an example for us to be with every single day,
Bob Buker, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't know if you could make that out. Did
you make out what he said? Eddie, you're wearing headphones.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Did you say something about he pete his pants?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yes, Bob Buker announced in the Brewers clubhouse on camera
that he.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Peede his pants. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And he's ninety years old. So when you get to ninety,
you were allowed to pick so champion. And it turns
out Bob Yucker was on a championship team the nineteen
sixty four World Series, the Saint Louis Cardinals and the
New York Yankees, and Uker did win a World Series.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
You know, Ben, I hate to have an opinion on this.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Why Lorena needs encouraged to have an opinion.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I went to a love Long Beach festival a few
years back, and there was a gentleman who was waiting
in line for the restroom. Oh no, and he did
not make it in time. So he went to the
side of the porta potti, right, sure, but he did
not unbton his pants in time. So it was a
public So, yeah, he peat his pants, but he said,
with the most proud voice I've ever heard, this is
(20:47):
not my first rodeo. And he walked away so confidently
in his white pants with the yellow pea stain all
the way down the front.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Got old, man, you gotta go. He didn't try to
been like downplay like pour water on the.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
No.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
I love that for him.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Okay, well that's good, all right.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Ever had a situation, Lorena where you don't make no.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Actually, second grade, I was listening to my friend tell
her story about her dying goldfish, and I did not
make it to the bathroom on time.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's unfortunate. It was very unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Anyway, Well, Bob yucker Man, he's still doing He doesn't
do all the games. He's ninety years old, but he
still does the Brewers games on the radio there in Milwaukee.
So hanging out, David writes and says Mallard now only
has Schefter as his go to insider with his beloved
woes hanging it up. Yeah, Shifty Shifty used to work here,
(21:42):
believe it or not. He was it was starting out.
He was a NFL insider for us and not not anymore.
Anthony and Anaheim says, I watched the guy so drunk
he just peed all over himself while sitting in a chair.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Oh good, that's uh, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Well, yeah, a certain point in your life, it's kind
of it's where it's one of those things. When you're
a kid you're allowed to not control your bladder, and
then when you're really old on the way out, you're not.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You're allowed in not cult, but in between you're supposed
to control your bladder.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
You can go anywhere anytime.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yes, Adrian says, this is the pokey pokey Pokey Guy says, Ben,
you still have your Jets jersey when you were a
Jets fan. I think I have it. I've moved a
couple of times since then, so I got the Woody.
I had the Woody jersey. So I don't know what
they are. It's somewhere I probably could find it. I
think I have it. Rock Hard, I wouldn't get rid
(22:38):
of it. Why would I get rid of that? Fergdug
says after today's Clutch series win, I'd like to apology.
I like an apology from everyone who thought the White
Sox would march into Fullerton adjacent Anaheim and walk all
over my Halos.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That includes you, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Eddie, would you like to apologize to Ferg Dog for
your blasphemy against the Halos?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
No? Because they needed extra innings to beat the White Sox.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
How many people were at that game? It was a
day game?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Dozens?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah? Stuck?
Speaker 8 (23:05):
I like, who's ever in charge of the Chicago White
Sox social media?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
On Twitter?
Speaker 8 (23:11):
They just tweeted out final and then it says the
other team scored more runs than us, which is no score?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Actually correct? Right, It's actually correct, It's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Stuck in Sacramento, says he had another solid a on
the Mally monologue.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I literally sleep early so I can wake up for
four glorious hours of radio perfection. I guess my mind
off this wretched city. I live.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Viva another twenty years of the Ben Malor Show. One day,
he hopes to be a p one well call up,
take the oath, knock yourself out, take the oath?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
We'll take some of these calls coming up. But we
had the the crew for you. Bob Buker announcing on
television in the clubhouse there he had he had urinated
and he did not make it.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
He peaed his be sure to catch live editions of
The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
We kind of spoiled this a little bit, but it's
still fun to play. Did the White Sox lose.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
You can put it on the ball.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Yes, they'll lose four to three to the Angels in
thirteen innings. So that's one hundred and seventeen losses. Now
for the Pale Hose, four losses away from breaking the record,
the modern day record four losses in a season. With
nine games left.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
To go, we believe in you. We believe you can
do it now.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Eat writes in he says that Marcel and Brooklyn is
the obvious choice to replace woj That's what he I
think that'd be great.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I think that would be wonderful as well.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Nick writes in nixt to the Windys Guy, Remember the
Windy's guy. He says, if the Twins collapse and missed
the playoff, do you see Rock Gobald Deli getting canned
or the cheap pole ads keeping him?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, I think they'll keep him. They'll they'll cook up.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Some excuse, it's not his fault, plausible deniability.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun
fun fun fact. It's not official official, but Ellen dela Cruz,
if your Cincinnati Reds is about to make baseball history.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Just a few weeks to go in the.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Baseball season, La de la Cruz is on pace to
become the first player to lead Major League Baseball in
both strikeouts and steals in the same season. So tremendous
job by Elie de la Cruz. There whiffing at a
rapid rate, and when he gets on base, you can't
steal first, but when he gets on running off and
(25:42):
stealing second and third and all that, so good.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Job by by him.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
And another one bites the dust. Another one bites the dust,
the Dwyers, who are stumbling and bumbling their way to
the finish line of the baseball season. The smartest people
in baseball have absolutely shredded their pitching staff. The Dodgers
currently have three members of the starting rotation on the
(26:09):
injury list. Tyler Glass now done for the year, Clayton
Kershaw's out.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
And Gavin Stone.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Gavin Stone also out, and they've had the injuries.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Of Walker Buler has been terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
He came back from Tommy John Yoshinobu Yamamoto also missed
most of the season with injury.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Dave Roberts revealing that Gavin Stone will not be returning
later this season very unlikely that he will return. Another
pitcher who's in his mid twenties. Kershaw's older, but this
guy's in his mid twenties. And despite all the pitch counts,
the appearance limits, the.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Innings limits, all they've got, all they've got.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
They figured out medical science, the Dodgers, they got all
the answers and these guys, despite Baby seeing all these pitchers,
they keep falling apart. And it is a bit of
irony that a conversation I had on my podcast The
Fifth Hour with a guy who's synonymous with injuries, Tommy John.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Tommy John is one of those guys. He's still alive.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
He's a real person, not just the clothing brand or
an injury. But Tommy John was the guy, one of
the guys that was campaign you gotta throw more, not less,
you gotta throw more. And everyone just ignores, Oh, you're
just a boomer. You don't know what you're talking about.
And then you got the smart young guys absolutely shredding.
It's shredded pork is what it is. The Dodger, the
(27:37):
Dodger pitching staff, wild wild, wild wild.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
All right, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Johnny, Hello, Johnny, and he is Johnny.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
He's in San Antonio. Johnny, Hey, what's going on? Ben
made welcome Johnny.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
I wanted to play a game.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
I want to play a game between you and and Eddie.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
All right, we're gonna play the game here. This is
the Johnny game. Me and Eddie are I was hoping
to play this game. Yeah, it's a fund.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Okay what Lorena and can't know?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
They're not allowed to play. It's only me and you. Eddie?
What what?
Speaker 4 (28:11):
What is the game here?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Johnny?
Speaker 7 (28:13):
What anking?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
What is Johnny? All right? Johnny's in San Antonio?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Specific? Do you need us to be.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I think I'm gonna go first, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I think this guy is drinking a beverage named after him,
Johnny Walker Blue, the Blue.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
That's it's very expensive.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And I'm gonna say, are you saying he's poor? Is
that what you're saying? Does listen to the show? Ed
I'm gonna go, wow, I don't know. I think it's
Pep's Blue Ribbon. I think it's you're you're cheating Johnny.
(28:56):
You're not drinking that, no, Eddie, Eddie, No, he's not.
I don't believe you. You're making that up. You're making
that up. No, No, you're like a cores light guy.
I can tell.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Walker Blue.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
You can't even look at Johnny Walker Blue when you're
in the store.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You're not allowed to look at it.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
You can't hate on the winner.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
You can't hate on the winner.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Eddie.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
You're making that you're so hammer you don't even know
what you're drinking.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
You're making that up.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Why can't Edie win the game?
Speaker 2 (29:27):
But he can't won yesterday looking up at Mike took
us the all.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Time wins king, all time wins radio game shows.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Someday when I go.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Into the don't we don't cheat on what? Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You just you just admit it? Yes you did, Johnny.
I can tell you're a cheater. Johnny. You sound like
a cheater. Jock. You're probably a fan of alt, aren't
you You like that Al touve? Don't you know? I
think you do?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I think you do, Johnny?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, yeah, how about these? You're God.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I hate when that happens.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I hate when that happened so exactly. Temper tantrum, No
temper tantrum.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I just know alcohol. I'm an expert when it comes down.
And that guy was not maybe corona light, but he
wasn't drinking. He wasn't drinking the cold forty five. No way,
not not a chance, Not a chance at all. Is
the Ben Mahlor Show. As we are navigating away through
(30:33):
the overnight hours and we are taking your comments on
X at Ben Malor Masso, Mickey says sad news report.
He says his brother in law, Dominic, who lives in
San Diego, was at the padres A Holes game two
days ago and mysteriously came down with a fungal bacterial infection.
We should call one of those billboard lawyers and then
(30:56):
contact contact the people.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
In baseball really beautiful feet and say.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Hey, I got this fungal and disease because of Valtove.
Because he's a disgusting person to take his shoes off
in the middle of the game. Brad and lost wages.
Nevada was triggered. He needs a safe space. He was
very upset that the top of the hour Mallard monologue,
he was convinced was about the NBA, when it was
really about WOJ who has covered all sports. He's synonymous
with the NBA, but he's covered all kinds of sports.
(31:23):
So I don't know where that game. It's a bad
job by you. Bad job Ton. Now for the who
am I Game? A blatant attempt to keep you engage.
You can answer this on X at Ben Mallard is
the who am I?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Game?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
And here it is a Saints quarterback Derek Carr having
an out of body experience. He can become the third
quarterback in NFL history to record four consecutive games with
at least two touchdown passes in a passer rating of
one hundred and twenty five or higher. If Carr does
that against the Philadelphia football team this weekend, he would
(32:00):
Russell Wilson and me as quarterbacks to get that done
again to who am I? Game, Saints quarterback Derek Carr
can become the third quarterback in NFL history to record
four consecutive games with at least two touchdowns two touchdown
passes in a passer rating of one hundred and twenty
five or hire. If he does it against the Eagles,
