Speaker 1 (00:00):
Knock, knock, who's there? That would be our number three
in podcast land. I hope you're having a great day today.
It is the twenty seventh of May. My name is Ben.
I host a little radio show. We recorded this overnight
for you. Tell a friend about it, help us out,
do us as solid, and you'll be my favorite person
(00:21):
in the world. So the question here, what's the first
thing that jumps out to you when you scan the
Major League Baseball standings? We have passed Memorial Day. This
is one of those checkpoints where you look at the
baseball standings. Also when you talk about baseball, it's been
specifically a rocky stretch for the Dodgers' latest big money
free agent pickup, Blake Snell. Bro I ain't playing. Let's
(00:44):
not get mine. I'm risking my live bro has Blake
Snell officially entered bust territory as the Dodgers big pickup.
Also reports out, We'll go to the WNBA reports out
saying Caitlin Clark, who's injured, could generate up to one
billion in economic impact for the WNBA this season. That's
one billion dollars with a capital B. What is your
(01:06):
verdict on this one? We'll talk about all of that
and more. Right now it is our number three. You
have reached a checkpoint. Yes you know what that means.
Welcome in the begetting of another hour of the Ben
(01:28):
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, a joint effort,
as we know, the simpler the better, the simpler the better,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and side splittingly powerful microphones of fsre emminating live
(01:53):
from the up as we tap it up a little
bit here hanging out for the Fox Sports Radio stud udios.
As approved as approved by Rob in Vegas as he's
playing poker. He approves that absolutely. And this portion of
the Ben Malor Show made possible in part by our
friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years, tyre Raq
(02:16):
has been helping customers just like you, find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection. And they've
got the convenient installation options as well, like mobile tire
installation which Chip and the Cues loves a lot. Tire
i raq dot com the Way Tire Buying Show. So
(02:38):
our lead this hour is from Baseball so we have
made it to an important part of the schedule. The
baseball season goes on and on and on and on,
and oh my god, it will not end. But it's
a hardball hold down. Right about now, a Memorial Day
has come and gone. This the day after Memorial Days.
(03:00):
We're doing this in real time. You know what that means?
Ding ding ding ding ding. That's right where it's time
to play pig a boo. Now what does that mean.
There's a saying that goes back. We harken back to
the days before social media. We harken back to those
good old days. There's a saying that you should avoid
(03:23):
checking the standings. You should not even bother checking the
baseball standings until Memorial Day. Why because at that point
teams have played enough games where the standings actually have
some meaning. There's a there there in the baseball standings.
You've played through two months, meaning that you kind of
(03:45):
know where you are. It's like going to the track.
If you bet the ponies go to the horse track,
and you're like the quarter pole. You look at some
call the furloughs, but you look at the you look
at the quarter pole, and you see where you're at.
And you judge it by that. So your National League
playoff teams, you've got the fighting Phills, the Cubs and Dodgers,
(04:05):
the division leaders, the wildcard teams of the Mets, Giants,
and Padres. Your American League playoff teams at Memorial Day
are the Tigers, Yankees, and Mariners as the division leaders,
followed by the Guardians, Twins and the cheating Astros of
Deacon and mister Irrigation there in Houston. Now, according to
(04:27):
the numbers, and this tells you what has happened, not
what's going to happen, but based on the numbers in
the wild card era, So that goes back to nineteen
ninety five, but does not include the pandemic season, which
was harder than all other baseball seasons. Twenty twenty, But
according to the numbers, what percentage of teams that were
(04:51):
in sole possession of first place on the morning of
June first have gone on to win their division against
I'm more of it. The answer is fifty nine percent,
So in almost six out of ten chance, if you're
in first place on that date, you're going to make
(05:11):
the postseason. So those are the good teams. Those are
the teams that are in position to get to the postseason.
But to us, the better story is in the losing
locker room. So that's where we're going to focus. Let
us discuss question. What is the first thing that jumps
off the screen you're looking at on the electronic device
(05:34):
you're looking at. What is the first thing that jumps
out to you when you scan the Major League Baseball standings?
So my views on this, I've got writers Strike, Indy
five hundred and Canoe and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some perseverance,
some pride and work things that are lacking in many businesses.
(05:55):
People that just don't have any pride and they don't
follow the code of the West. Your name is your
brand and you must take pride in your work. It's
really a shame. A lot of businesses have let quality
control go down, and it's a shame. It really is
a shame. I mean, there used to be some pride
in every business, and it feels like a lot of
businesses now just don't give a crap. And you know,
(06:17):
even in my business sometimes I see things, you know,
it's really disappointing. Manalife anyway, all right, So the first
thought I have. No, you probably think what stands out.
I'm going negative here. I'm working negative in the room.
I'm gonna go Baltimore Orioles. Right, that's an obvious one.
The Orioles won one hundred games a couple of years ago,
they won ninety games last year, and they blow But no,
(06:39):
my answer, all right, my answer here. The first thing
that jumps out to me when I look at the
baseball standings here as we are post the holiday, the
first thing I look at, and I have an unpopular
opinion the Dodgers, the blue crew. Not good enough, not
up to the standard. And again I have high standards,
not good enough. The Dodger's lack of dominance, to me
(07:05):
is what jumps out. This was the year of the Dodger.
It's in the calendar, the year of the Dodger, and
it really hasn't been that. It has not been that.
And how does a team that has Mookie Bets, Freddie
Freeman and shoe Hail Tani not look like a juggernaut
right now? And they don't. They don't look like a juggernaut.
(07:28):
They don't give you the vibe that they're a juggernaut.
And for all the hyperbole and all the praise and
all the wordy stories on social media and different platforms
about how great the Dodgers are, the greatest team you
could possibly have of all time. They're not getting a
lot of bang for their buck. They're not. They have
(07:48):
a four hundred and ten million dollar cash payroll. Dodgers
easily have the largest Major League Baseball roster of all time.
It is said to be a general rational roster, an
all time great. It should be hung at the louver.
It is a piece of fine art, the Dodger roster. Now,
(08:10):
you might remember, for the season, the gambling market had
the Dodgers at one hundred and three and a half
wins over under projected win total. One hundred three and
a half seems high, doesn't it. That was the highest
projected win total in Dodger history. Never before had a
Dodger team had as much hype as this current Dodger team.
It was the highest of any baseball team since we
(08:33):
flipped the calendar from the nineties to the two thousands.
The last time a team was favored to win more
games than the current Dodgers the New York Yankees. That
Yankee dynasty of the late nineties, nineteen ninety nine. And
yet as we sit here, we do the show today, right,
we do the show today, and as of today, the
Dodgers are a jat They're just a team. Now. First place,
(09:00):
you're a hater man, their first place, dude, Okay, and
I don't disagree that. Listen, they are in first place.
That is correct. And if you accept this and you
think they're going well and things are going great, then
you know you're easily pleased. You are a low information fan.
The real ones know things are not going great for
the Dodgers right now. They're not and they're certainly not
(09:23):
an all time great team. This is not a historically
wonderful team. Because you're judged on your results, you are.
Dodgers have thirty three wins post holiday, and based on
the Cleveland Guardians. I watched some of that game. Did
you see I don't know if you watch it. This
is something it really only seems to happen in Cleveland.
(09:44):
The megs or whatever they're called, these little bugs. It's
like locusts overtook the ballpark. It's like guys are eating
bugs because there's bugs in the area. It's just such
a beautiful thing, Chamber of commerce. Kind of night there
in Cleveland anyway. So thirty three wins for the Dodgers,
if my math is correct I'm using malor math, that's
(10:05):
on pace for ninety seven wins. So that's a lot
of wins. However, when you break it down scientifically, the
Dodgers started the year eight to zero. They also had
a seven game winning streak, so in that those two
winning streaks, they're fifteen or zero. In every other game
this season, the Dodgers combined are eighteen and twenty one.
So they've had two hot streaks where two streaks where
(10:26):
they played well for a week, and then outside of
that they have a losing record in the other games.
Does that sound like an all time great team right now?
The Dodgers are a Hollywood blockbuster movie that is highly anticipated,
but it was made during the writers' strike. It's got
a bad script. It's got a bad script. It's entertaining
(10:49):
at times, but it's a mess, and it's especially a
mess when you look at the amount of players that
are malingering on the Dodgers. My god, going through the motion,
there's also just a sense of urgency and how many
more booted balls at shortstop does Mookie Bets have to
have before they say, hey, Mookie, we'll move you back
to the outfield. I mean, it's the same thing. He's
(11:11):
a terrible defensive shortstop. And people don't like to talk
about that because Mookie likes playing shortstop and it's better
for the team. But he's not a very good defensive shortstop.
And if the games are close in the playoff, he's
gonna kill you. And everyone knows it. Right, bullpen's already gassed.
It's not even June. The bullpen's gas. You've got a
social club going on in the trainer's room with the Dodgers,
and they talk to talk, right, Dodgers talk to talk
(11:34):
this offseason is that we know we have a problem
with guys getting hurt. We are gonna review everything. We're
gonna get to the bottomless we have a solution. We're
gonna fix the injury bug. We're gonna solve the problem.
And it is worse now than it's ever been. The
Dodgers are number one in all of baseball for injured players.
(11:55):
They've had nineteen players. We're not even at June first
A players have popped up on what used to be
called the disabled list. They're camping out roasting marshmallows on
a fire next to the injury tent. That's the Dodgers.
But I digress now, I don't digress that far because
page two so the poster boy of the issues with
(12:19):
the Dodgers. I would say one person in particular, it
has been a specifically rocky stretch for the latest big
money pickup for the Doyers pitching staff, as the Dodgers
went out and spent money on mortal enemy of this show, Bro,
I hain't pitch it less I get Bro, I'm risking
(12:39):
my life, Bro, Blake Snell. Can we now say has
Blake Snell officially entered bust territory? Can you say that?
So I am marking it official? Yes, Blake Snell is
a bust.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
He is.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
He's a giant bust as a Dodger today we do
the show right now, He's a bust. Prove me wrong.
Prove me wrong. It was a disaster. First of all,
guy's got a terrible attitude. You don't want guys like
that on your team, all right, we mentioned earlier, you
know these people that just don't have the work ethic
they don't have the perseverance. They don't have moxie. That's
(13:22):
Blake Snell. You don't want guys like that on your team.
He can't depend on people like that. And the Dodgers
they gave him the money, all right, He's planted the flag,
Blake Snell. Think of this in terms of the Indy
five hundred, which got Baffo Soco ratings over the weekend.
Everyone's watching the Indy five hundred. So think of Blake
(13:43):
Snell as driving the pace car at the Indy five
hundred for the Golden Fleece Award and congratulations. He signed
a five year, one hundred and eighty two million dollar
contract with the Dodgers. It ain't my money. You would
have been better off. You would have gotten more toughness.
(14:04):
If you would put a bowl of jello on the
mound you on a hot day when it's gonna melt,
you would have gotten more out of that than Blake Snell.
Jello Jello, Snello, my god. Blake Snell is currently sidelined
with a shoulder injury, but don't worry, he's not rushing back.
(14:25):
His return has been delayed multiple times. Remember when he
first went out Oh, it's just a short term thing.
We'll get him back, no problem. Instead, the instead you
look at the Dodgers and now he's signed in theory
Blake Snell to play for the Blue Crew the Dodgers.
But I believe he's really playing for Blue Cross Blue
Shield because that I mean, my god, he's always hurt.
(14:49):
We are almost into the month of June and snell
Zilla has made two two starts. Remember the Dodgers started
early because they played the Cubs in Japan. So he's
made two starts since March for the Dodgers. At this point,
he's doing cosplay. He's pretending to be Jacob de Gram
(15:14):
and he's doing a hell of a cosplay. He really
is all right. Last thing, by request, we turned the page.
Final thought. So there are reports out saying that Caitlin Clark,
that's a female basketball player who's injured right now. More
on that later, But Caitlin Clark, who I'm told plays
in the WNBA, could generate up to one billion dollars
(15:36):
in economic impact for the WNBA this season. That is
according to a new study that is out. That's one billion,
one billion dollars with a capital B one billion. So
question what is your verdict on this one. So I
am a skeptic. I am a skeptic. I've learned a
(15:57):
couple of things over the years. I used to love studies,
I'd read studies all the time. And then I learned
some of the tricks in the science community that there's
two things you do. You put a lot of weasel
words in, Like could could is a great weasel word.
I could give you ten thousand dollars, I could could
not I could could is the number one weasel word
(16:18):
in science, just like in marketing or advertising. It's up
to hear that term a lot up to so weasel
term up to. But we're talking about science here, and
this is the science business science and economics and all that.
The other thing I've learned over the years being a
skeptical eye for the regular guy is that in order
(16:41):
to get any kind of attention, you have to you
have to have shocking results to your study. One of
the great hustles of my life has been people in science,
for example, who are claiming that the oceans are going
to rise in twenty years if we don't don't get
x amount of money I mean, and they get the money,
(17:04):
people react to that, that's why they do it. And
then it's one of those says, oh, you hadn't given
us the money, the oceans would have risen and all
this stuff. It's one of the great hustles of our time.
But in this case it's just a report. I said, well,
up to a but now, I don't doubt that Caitlin
Car's going to make a lot of money for the
WNBA and she's a one woman show. At this point.
(17:27):
Nobody gives a rats ass about any of the other
women in the WNBA. They just don't care about them.
They were relevant. The whole league's irrelevant other than Kaitlin Clark.
And I think she'll prove that now as no one's
going to be watching because she's not going to be
playing for a while. She's out and she's essentially in
the canoe paddling her own canoe and everyone else is
(17:49):
swimming and there's piranhas in the water, and that's that's
the w NBA. She's keeping the whole thing afloat, and
the arenas when she plays are sold out for the
most part. There's a bit of a buzz there. There's
economic activity, there's merchandise and things like that. But a
billion dollars is a rather large number to get to
because the WNBA, even with Caitlin Clark, is a niche league.
(18:13):
It is a it's just some fuzzy math, is what
it is. It's a it's a fringe sport. It's not mainstream.
People are trying to make it mainstream. It's not. And
it's other than her, Nobody cares, and it's it's it's
proven that nobody gives a rats ass about any of
these other players in the WNBA. They don't. There's some
(18:33):
horndog dudes that look at some of the women, Oh
she's good looking, but they're not watching the games. That's
the issue. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you
would like to be part of the program, you can
join us right now and say hello at eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine
nine sixty sixty three sixty nine. Also on the X

(19:15):
Riddle of the day. And here's the Mallor Riddle of
the day. So, former Boston Bruin but current Florida Panther
forward Brad Marshant recently confirmed that he ate a blank
between periods of Game three of the Stanley Cup playoff
series with Carolina. Again, Florida Panthers forward Brad Marshant confirming
(19:39):
that he actually did eat an entire blank between periods
of Game three of the Stanley Cup playoff series with Carolina.
That is the Mallor riddle of the day. The answer,
We'll get to it, and we will do add next.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show days at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Meet and Greet. First one of twenty twenty five oh
Cod out more on that in a minute. Reminder, interact

Mallor in Salo to Lorraina. All bundle up and he's
got that cold weather hered here, the cold front, big
cold front, Yes, very cold, and you so little Lorraino
FSR tech queen. She's on X but she's really on
(20:50):
Instagram more.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Than follow me.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Bell No, don't talk to me. And Cooper Loop is
in the producer's chair right over there. Saleo to him
at uh Bronco fan, your comments can and we'll be
used against you in the court of sports radio. Act
accordingly and back to it, well, back to it. Don't
forget though, I cannot promote this enough. If you're able
to make it. I know it's geographically undesirable for most,
(21:14):
but if you're in a part of the country that
means you can make it. Or in Canada obviously it
was where the thing's at. We're very excited about this.
Gonna be a great time Thursday night, May twenty nine,
today's the twenty seven, So do the math on that
court side on Maine seven pm to ten pm. We
will be hanging out and having a great old time
(21:35):
just telling stories, eating food, and the hospitality from what
I hear rumors are hospitality, next level, next level hospitality.
And I'll be there. The Lorrain is going to be there.
Coop will be there as well, so our Canadian brothers
and sisters can come hang out. And if you're in
the Pacific Northwest within reasonable driving distance. We've had RSVPs
(21:59):
from far far away. People are flying in for this
from the States, and Big Lou will be there. Several
others have said they're going to show up. Some have
said they're driving up from places like Idaho and the
Washington State. We'll see how many those people actually show
up from Idaho? Is that? Is that not allowed?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Or that's a long drive?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Is it? How long a drive is it? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I don't know how long of drive is that?
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Coop?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
What's the next state over? So it can't be that bad, right,
It depends, well, I guess it depends what part of
Idaho you're in.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Be like twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It's not twenty four hours. You're ridiculous, Yeah, it's not
that long. Go like boys, what about Boise? We have
a lot of listeners and boys, how about Boise to Vancouver.
How many hours is that drive? That can't be that bad.
It's like eight hours something like that. Coop's doing the
math on that right now. We'll get to the ten hours,
all right, ten hour. No, you don't think anyone will
(22:52):
drive ten hour. We think we're not worth ten.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Possible because from here to Roseburg, Oregon, it's twelve hours.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
California is a ggantic shits California.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
If it was on the East coast, it would take
up like Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and like Virginia,
we would take up the whole east like to all
those states on the East coast would be just one
state if it was like the West coast. I think anyway,
it is the Ben Mahler Show. I got to pay
off the mallor riddle of the day. And here's the
malar riddle to day. Carolina or not Carolina, Florida Panther
(23:24):
forward Brad Marshant, that's a hockey team, Florida Panthers. Brad Marshant,
former bruin, confirming that he did eat he ate an
entire blank during the between periods portion of Game three
of the Stanley Cup playoff series with Carolina and that
is the mallor riddle of the day. Let's see, does
(23:44):
anyone know the answer? What do we have here? Milkman
Mike says he ate an entire suitcase of white Castle
sliders is the answer here? It's good. Lady Sideburns says
something about a sauk. What else do we have? Bubbo Wallace,
for some reason, was guessed by far Out Dave Mason,
(24:07):
Listener Mason and Huntington Beach said something about a red
wing like cheerleader. I don't know what that. Kathy in
Madison says poutine. Poutine is the answer. A rat guessed
by Alf the alien o pineer. Stevie Meatballs is out there,
(24:28):
he says, admitted to eating the Tampa Bay lightning and
there that's what he said. For something else there, God's
dip ranch dressing. That's actually the devil's blood. Yeah, let's
hear a whole bag of cowcrap from Josh in Nebraska.
Fergdug says a giant rat from the Mountains of New Guinea,
(24:51):
a giant rat, Chick fil A Chicken nuggets from King Rory,
A big Texan seventy two ounce steak from DJs Ben
Patrick in San Diego. Who I am killing at scrabble?
A vaseline guessed by Donkey sausage, a salamander from Robin, Minnesota.
A poutine burrito from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Tell me,
(25:16):
Mike the leprechaunsays, an entire plate of Finway Park Franks.
He ate a whole pizza pie from truck or Joe.
That's his answer. Kevin says, he ate Rocky Mountain oysters.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
What do you think we order a pizza?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I ate an entire case of prunes between periods. Chef
boy r D guessed by Jared in honor of Marcel
and Brooklyn. A raw chicken from courtesy Flusher. Johnny Q
got a ride. He's a cheater. That's the only way
to get it right, Loreina, do you have an answer? Lorena?
I need to know.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
This is hard.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
I'm gonna go with a whole bag of powdered donuts bag.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, whole bag of powdered donuts. No, that is incorrect.
Turns out that Brad Marshant and a couple of his
teammates decided to eat a chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard
from Dairy Queen between periods. So the diet of champions.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Blizzard the other day?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, is that on the ultimate You suck Carolina? No,
I think there's so much better the Florida Panthers. There's
so much better than the Carolina Hurricanes. That these dudes
can be eaten dairy queen between periods and still shove
the puck down their throat. Okay, suck. Yeah. Anyway, let's
go to the phones and Andrea. I guess there's a
(26:34):
cosmic event we need to know about. Andrea is in
Berkeley and she is up next here and she's the
astrology lady. Hello Andrea, welcome, Oh man, how are you?
If I was any better, I would be sleeping, But
I'm here, So here we are.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Well. You know, good news for the malor meet and greet.
We have the new moon in Gemini. You know how
much we love the Farmer's Almanac.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yeah, and we have the new moon.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
In Gemini tonight. And the moon's in a sign for
two and a half days, and Gemini's communication teaching, talking, traveling,
so that's a nice auspicious moon sign. And then it
shifts into Cancer, which is home and family. So the
meet and greet on some level also feels like home
and family.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Oh see, that will be hanging out with our family.
Our family will have a great time with family. That's wonderful.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
I thought that was a nice cosmic kind of college.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
That's good. I like to hear, thank you, it's wonderful.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Really did want to share that, and oh yes, and
I didn't get a chance real briefly to share. Bill
Belichick and.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Dan Jordan, Yes, the couple of you know what you know,
they're actually compatible.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
He's April sixteen, nineteen fifty two. She's March fifth, two
thousand and one, and he's an Aries and she's a Pisces.
But she has Venus, the planet of love and beauty
and money and finances in Airys and.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Bill's got, he's got ugly and money is what he is.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
So she kind of hit the jackpot here. This is
quite lot.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well, she definitely hit the jackpot, that is for sure.
She's become a very wealthy young lady.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Yes, in the ring, because not only does he truly
like her and on some levels she likes him. Venus
is love and beauty and money. It's a planet that
wills love, beauty, and finance.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It is a bit of a material relationship though, you'd agree, right, yes,
I would have age there.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Yeah, I mean she does, you know, have her own
money to her credit, but yes, I.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Think when you have, I don't know that she has
her own money. She's become very well, She's gotten a
lot of money. She owns a bunch of real estate.
Her portfolio, her real estate portfolio is next level. But
that just I know it's a coincidence. It just started
that she able, she was able to buy all these
properties once she started sleeping with Belichick. I'm sure there's
no coincidence there, No, there's not.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
And then when I saw her venus in air and
she's with an aries man, It's like, doesn't get much
better than that. I think, you know, she's probably tuned
into astrology.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
It's like, oh going again. She's I believe, the daughter
of like a fishing family from Maine, and she's now
worth She's got eight million dollars in her real estate portfolios,
getting well, she's definitely putting the work in to get
that eight million. So I mean she's doing something to
(29:27):
get that, you know. I mean that's you don't get
that for nothing. All right, Well, thank you, Andrea. Good news,
don't worry about the malor meet and greet. The cosmic
sign is in our favor.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Very nice, and just so you know, I'm busy working
on prock party.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Okay, all right, well let's know, let's know because he
got a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
We know that, yes, bad as we speak.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
All right, thank you, all right, good luck. There's Andrea.
She'll check in later this week. Prez. Appreciate that Manuel
is Ina Guardina and Manuel is next. Hello, legendary caller
Manuel in Guardina.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Hey, BENNI real quick, so I want to use my
golden ticket to and god win the Mallards Mountain of money.
All right, but I do want to make this phone call.
So first off, you haven't been giving yourself enough credit, Benny,
so I'm gonna do it for you. I want to
(30:20):
thank you, my man uh Bronco fan and the beautiful
Lorena for being here on the holiday, because there's so
many of these pukes that are talk show hosts that
don't even freaking show up on holidays, and I'm sick
of it. Where's the work ethic at damn it? They
(30:42):
better be showing up for these holidays like the Mallard
Show does. Mallor is an extravagantenza, and it's second to none.
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Take that you are your big time talk to your
hosts and your second mansions living on you on the beach,
on your we're in here slaving away over hot microphones.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
Exactly. Now, the other thing I wanted to do. You know,
first off, you're a candy ass if you don't tune
into the whole Mallard Show. All right, and that's a
proven fact. You're a powder puff. Once you turn on
that Fox Sports Radio, whether it's the iHeart or the
Blaue Torch of AM five seventy, you better not turn
(31:26):
it off until three am Pacific, six am Eastern. And
I would even go as far as to say you
got to listen to my man Jonas Knox as well. However,
you had a caller I believe his name was Deacon
the Mouth who was having trouble sleeping. Just tell him
(31:47):
to podcast his call, and that freaking U Sarley or
whatever the hell his name is from Abston that those
two phone calls on a loop will put in body.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Okay, So just put Charlie the Dallas Dumper and then
put the Deacon back to back and you'll be fast,
you're to sleep like a baby.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Yeah, I mean he's no mister irrigation. We all know.
Mister Irrigation is the class of Houston, as was Rocket Chris,
even though he quit on us.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
But uh yeah, he sold out. He sold out for
the daytime money. He's a sellout Chris and Houston.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
But that you know what, Benny, that's not even an excuse.
You know as well as I do. When I was
working daytime, I found a way to call this show.
That's true and real quick, real quick on what Andrea
was saying. God bless her. But come on, man, we
to quote Kanye, We're not saying she's a gold digger,
(32:44):
but she don't mess with no brokennword. Okay, I mean
this lady didn't have no money on her own. She
was with some hedge fun king before Bill or whatever.
To quote your old partner, Dave Schmid's dad. It's funny
how when a guy has a fat wallet he becomes
(33:04):
like Lorenzo Lamas or freaking Brad Pitt, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, no, No, there is a correlation causation situation where
men become much more attractive when they have a lot
of money. I don't know that's the case with women.
If you take like an ugly woman and she's got
a lot of money, I don't know. I don't think
it works the same way.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
Nobody's waiting around for Rosie O'donnald all right, all right?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Didn't she hold babe?
Speaker 7 (33:29):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I put you on it. Didn't she move to like
leave the country as.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Rosie catching the strays? No that it was Ellen degenerous.
You're getting your no, No, wasn't ROSI uh, I thought
it was.
Speaker 1 (33:41):

Knock, knock, who's there? That would be our number three
in podcast land. I hope you're having a great day today.
It is the twenty seventh of May. My name is Ben.
I host a little radio show. We recorded this overnight
for you. Tell a friend about it, help us out,
do us as solid, and you'll be my favorite person
(00:21):
in the world. So the question here, what's the first
thing that jumps out to you when you scan the
Major League Baseball standings? We have passed Memorial Day. This
is one of those checkpoints where you look at the
baseball standings. Also when you talk about baseball, it's been
specifically a rocky stretch for the Dodgers' latest big money
free agent pickup, Blake Snell. Bro I ain't playing. Let's
(00:44):
not get mine. I'm risking my live bro has Blake
Snell officially entered bust territory as the Dodgers big pickup.
Also reports out, We'll go to the WNBA reports out
saying Caitlin Clark, who's injured, could generate up to one
billion in economic impact for the WNBA this season. That's
one billion dollars with a capital B. What is your
(01:06):
verdict on this one? We'll talk about all of that
and more. Right now it is our number three. You
have reached a checkpoint. Yes you know what that means.
Welcome in the begetting of another hour of the Ben
(01:28):
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, a joint effort,
as we know, the simpler the better, the simpler the better,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and side splittingly powerful microphones of fsre emminating live
(01:53):
from the up as we tap it up a little
bit here hanging out for the Fox Sports Radio stud udios.
As approved as approved by Rob in Vegas as he's
playing poker. He approves that absolutely. And this portion of
the Ben Malor Show made possible in part by our
friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years, tyre Raq
(02:16):
has been helping customers just like you, find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection. And they've
got the convenient installation options as well, like mobile tire
installation which Chip and the Cues loves a lot. Tire
i raq dot com the Way Tire Buying Show. So
(02:38):
our lead this hour is from Baseball so we have
made it to an important part of the schedule. The
baseball season goes on and on and on and on,
and oh my god, it will not end. But it's
a hardball hold down. Right about now, a Memorial Day
has come and gone. This the day after Memorial Days.
(03:00):
We're doing this in real time. You know what that means?
Ding ding ding ding ding. That's right where it's time
to play pig a boo. Now what does that mean.
There's a saying that goes back. We harken back to
the days before social media. We harken back to those
good old days. There's a saying that you should avoid
(03:23):
checking the standings. You should not even bother checking the
baseball standings until Memorial Day. Why because at that point
teams have played enough games where the standings actually have
some meaning. There's a there there in the baseball standings.
You've played through two months, meaning that you kind of
(03:45):
know where you are. It's like going to the track.
If you bet the ponies go to the horse track,
and you're like the quarter pole. You look at some
call the furloughs, but you look at the you look
at the quarter pole, and you see where you're at.
And you judge it by that. So your National League
playoff teams, you've got the fighting Phills, the Cubs and Dodgers,
(04:05):
the division leaders, the wildcard teams of the Mets, Giants,
and Padres. Your American League playoff teams at Memorial Day
are the Tigers, Yankees, and Mariners as the division leaders,
followed by the Guardians, Twins and the cheating Astros of
Deacon and mister Irrigation there in Houston. Now, according to
(04:27):
the numbers, and this tells you what has happened, not
what's going to happen, but based on the numbers in
the wild card era, So that goes back to nineteen
ninety five, but does not include the pandemic season, which
was harder than all other baseball seasons. Twenty twenty, But
according to the numbers, what percentage of teams that were
(04:51):
in sole possession of first place on the morning of
June first have gone on to win their division against
I'm more of it. The answer is fifty nine percent,
So in almost six out of ten chance, if you're
in first place on that date, you're going to make
(05:11):
the postseason. So those are the good teams. Those are
the teams that are in position to get to the postseason.
But to us, the better story is in the losing
locker room. So that's where we're going to focus. Let
us discuss question. What is the first thing that jumps
off the screen you're looking at on the electronic device
(05:34):
you're looking at. What is the first thing that jumps
out to you when you scan the Major League Baseball standings?
So my views on this, I've got writers Strike, Indy
five hundred and Canoe and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some perseverance,
some pride and work things that are lacking in many businesses.
(05:55):
People that just don't have any pride and they don't
follow the code of the West. Your name is your
brand and you must take pride in your work. It's
really a shame. A lot of businesses have let quality
control go down, and it's a shame. It really is
a shame. I mean, there used to be some pride
in every business, and it feels like a lot of
businesses now just don't give a crap. And you know,
(06:17):
even in my business sometimes I see things, you know,
it's really disappointing. Manalife anyway, all right, So the first
thought I have. No, you probably think what stands out.
I'm going negative here. I'm working negative in the room.
I'm gonna go Baltimore Orioles. Right, that's an obvious one.
The Orioles won one hundred games a couple of years ago,
they won ninety games last year, and they blow But no,
(06:39):
my answer, all right, my answer here. The first thing
that jumps out to me when I look at the
baseball standings here as we are post the holiday, the
first thing I look at, and I have an unpopular
opinion the Dodgers, the blue crew. Not good enough, not
up to the standard. And again I have high standards,
not good enough. The Dodger's lack of dominance, to me
(07:05):
is what jumps out. This was the year of the Dodger.
It's in the calendar, the year of the Dodger, and
it really hasn't been that. It has not been that.
And how does a team that has Mookie Bets, Freddie
Freeman and shoe Hail Tani not look like a juggernaut
right now? And they don't. They don't look like a juggernaut.
(07:28):
They don't give you the vibe that they're a juggernaut.
And for all the hyperbole and all the praise and
all the wordy stories on social media and different platforms
about how great the Dodgers are, the greatest team you
could possibly have of all time. They're not getting a
lot of bang for their buck. They're not. They have
(07:48):
a four hundred and ten million dollar cash payroll. Dodgers
easily have the largest Major League Baseball roster of all time.
It is said to be a general rational roster, an
all time great. It should be hung at the louver.
It is a piece of fine art, the Dodger roster. Now,
(08:10):
you might remember, for the season, the gambling market had
the Dodgers at one hundred and three and a half
wins over under projected win total. One hundred three and
a half seems high, doesn't it. That was the highest
projected win total in Dodger history. Never before had a
Dodger team had as much hype as this current Dodger team.
It was the highest of any baseball team since we
(08:33):
flipped the calendar from the nineties to the two thousands.
The last time a team was favored to win more
games than the current Dodgers the New York Yankees. That
Yankee dynasty of the late nineties, nineteen ninety nine. And
yet as we sit here, we do the show today, right,
we do the show today, and as of today, the
Dodgers are a jat They're just a team. Now. First place,
(09:00):
you're a hater man, their first place, dude, Okay, and
I don't disagree that. Listen, they are in first place.
That is correct. And if you accept this and you
think they're going well and things are going great, then
you know you're easily pleased. You are a low information fan.
The real ones know things are not going great for
the Dodgers right now. They're not and they're certainly not
(09:23):
an all time great team. This is not a historically
wonderful team. Because you're judged on your results, you are.
Dodgers have thirty three wins post holiday, and based on
the Cleveland Guardians. I watched some of that game. Did
you see I don't know if you watch it. This
is something it really only seems to happen in Cleveland.
(09:44):
The megs or whatever they're called, these little bugs. It's
like locusts overtook the ballpark. It's like guys are eating
bugs because there's bugs in the area. It's just such
a beautiful thing, Chamber of commerce. Kind of night there
in Cleveland anyway. So thirty three wins for the Dodgers,
if my math is correct I'm using malor math, that's
(10:05):
on pace for ninety seven wins. So that's a lot
of wins. However, when you break it down scientifically, the
Dodgers started the year eight to zero. They also had
a seven game winning streak, so in that those two
winning streaks, they're fifteen or zero. In every other game
this season, the Dodgers combined are eighteen and twenty one.
So they've had two hot streaks where two streaks where
(10:26):
they played well for a week, and then outside of
that they have a losing record in the other games.
Does that sound like an all time great team right now?
The Dodgers are a Hollywood blockbuster movie that is highly anticipated,
but it was made during the writers' strike. It's got
a bad script. It's got a bad script. It's entertaining
(10:49):
at times, but it's a mess, and it's especially a
mess when you look at the amount of players that
are malingering on the Dodgers. My god, going through the motion,
there's also just a sense of urgency and how many
more booted balls at shortstop does Mookie Bets have to
have before they say, hey, Mookie, we'll move you back
to the outfield. I mean, it's the same thing. He's
(11:11):
a terrible defensive shortstop. And people don't like to talk
about that because Mookie likes playing shortstop and it's better
for the team. But he's not a very good defensive shortstop.
And if the games are close in the playoff, he's
gonna kill you. And everyone knows it. Right, bullpen's already gassed.
It's not even June. The bullpen's gas. You've got a
social club going on in the trainer's room with the Dodgers,
and they talk to talk, right, Dodgers talk to talk
(11:34):
this offseason is that we know we have a problem
with guys getting hurt. We are gonna review everything. We're
gonna get to the bottomless we have a solution. We're
gonna fix the injury bug. We're gonna solve the problem.
And it is worse now than it's ever been. The
Dodgers are number one in all of baseball for injured players.
(11:55):
They've had nineteen players. We're not even at June first
A players have popped up on what used to be
called the disabled list. They're camping out roasting marshmallows on
a fire next to the injury tent. That's the Dodgers.
But I digress now, I don't digress that far because
page two so the poster boy of the issues with
(12:19):
the Dodgers. I would say one person in particular, it
has been a specifically rocky stretch for the latest big
money pickup for the Doyers pitching staff, as the Dodgers
went out and spent money on mortal enemy of this show, Bro,
I hain't pitch it less I get Bro, I'm risking
(12:39):
my life, Bro, Blake Snell. Can we now say has
Blake Snell officially entered bust territory? Can you say that?
So I am marking it official? Yes, Blake Snell is
a bust.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
He is.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
He's a giant bust as a Dodger today we do
the show right now, He's a bust. Prove me wrong.
Prove me wrong. It was a disaster. First of all,
guy's got a terrible attitude. You don't want guys like
that on your team, all right, we mentioned earlier, you
know these people that just don't have the work ethic
they don't have the perseverance. They don't have moxie. That's
(13:22):
Blake Snell. You don't want guys like that on your team.
He can't depend on people like that. And the Dodgers
they gave him the money, all right, He's planted the flag,
Blake Snell. Think of this in terms of the Indy
five hundred, which got Baffo Soco ratings over the weekend.
Everyone's watching the Indy five hundred. So think of Blake
(13:43):
Snell as driving the pace car at the Indy five
hundred for the Golden Fleece Award and congratulations. He signed
a five year, one hundred and eighty two million dollar
contract with the Dodgers. It ain't my money. You would
have been better off. You would have gotten more toughness.
(14:04):
If you would put a bowl of jello on the
mound you on a hot day when it's gonna melt,
you would have gotten more out of that than Blake Snell.
Jello Jello, Snello, my god. Blake Snell is currently sidelined
with a shoulder injury, but don't worry, he's not rushing back.
(14:25):
His return has been delayed multiple times. Remember when he
first went out Oh, it's just a short term thing.
We'll get him back, no problem. Instead, the instead you
look at the Dodgers and now he's signed in theory
Blake Snell to play for the Blue Crew the Dodgers.
But I believe he's really playing for Blue Cross Blue
Shield because that I mean, my god, he's always hurt.
(14:49):
We are almost into the month of June and snell
Zilla has made two two starts. Remember the Dodgers started
early because they played the Cubs in Japan. So he's
made two starts since March for the Dodgers. At this point,
he's doing cosplay. He's pretending to be Jacob de Gram
(15:14):
and he's doing a hell of a cosplay. He really
is all right. Last thing, by request, we turned the page.
Final thought. So there are reports out saying that Caitlin Clark,
that's a female basketball player who's injured right now. More
on that later, But Caitlin Clark, who I'm told plays
in the WNBA, could generate up to one billion dollars
(15:36):
in economic impact for the WNBA this season. That is
according to a new study that is out. That's one billion,
one billion dollars with a capital B one billion. So
question what is your verdict on this one. So I
am a skeptic. I am a skeptic. I've learned a
(15:57):
couple of things over the years. I used to love studies,
I'd read studies all the time. And then I learned
some of the tricks in the science community that there's
two things you do. You put a lot of weasel
words in, Like could could is a great weasel word.
I could give you ten thousand dollars, I could could
not I could could is the number one weasel word
(16:18):
in science, just like in marketing or advertising. It's up
to hear that term a lot up to so weasel
term up to. But we're talking about science here, and
this is the science business science and economics and all that.
The other thing I've learned over the years being a
skeptical eye for the regular guy is that in order
(16:41):
to get any kind of attention, you have to you
have to have shocking results to your study. One of
the great hustles of my life has been people in science,
for example, who are claiming that the oceans are going
to rise in twenty years if we don't don't get
x amount of money I mean, and they get the money,
(17:04):
people react to that, that's why they do it. And
then it's one of those says, oh, you hadn't given
us the money, the oceans would have risen and all
this stuff. It's one of the great hustles of our time.
But in this case it's just a report. I said, well,
up to a but now, I don't doubt that Caitlin
Car's going to make a lot of money for the
WNBA and she's a one woman show. At this point.
(17:27):
Nobody gives a rats ass about any of the other
women in the WNBA. They just don't care about them.
They were relevant. The whole league's irrelevant other than Kaitlin Clark.
And I think she'll prove that now as no one's
going to be watching because she's not going to be
playing for a while. She's out and she's essentially in
the canoe paddling her own canoe and everyone else is
(17:49):
swimming and there's piranhas in the water, and that's that's
the w NBA. She's keeping the whole thing afloat, and
the arenas when she plays are sold out for the
most part. There's a bit of a buzz there. There's
economic activity, there's merchandise and things like that. But a
billion dollars is a rather large number to get to
because the WNBA, even with Caitlin Clark, is a niche league.
(18:13):
It is a it's just some fuzzy math, is what
it is. It's a it's a fringe sport. It's not mainstream.
People are trying to make it mainstream. It's not. And
it's other than her, Nobody cares, and it's it's it's
proven that nobody gives a rats ass about any of
these other players in the WNBA. They don't. There's some
(18:33):
horndog dudes that look at some of the women, Oh
she's good looking, but they're not watching the games. That's
the issue. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you
would like to be part of the program, you can
join us right now and say hello at eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine
nine sixty sixty three sixty nine. Also on the X
(18:54):
Machine at Ben mallor that's at Ben Mahlor if you'd
like to be part of the program. Coming up a
little bit later in the hour, we will have Malar's
Mountain of Money. We look forward to that. That'll be
coming up a little bit later in the hour and
next hour site the bite. But right now the Mallor
(19:15):
Riddle of the day. And here's the Mallor Riddle of
the day. So, former Boston Bruin but current Florida Panther
forward Brad Marshant recently confirmed that he ate a blank
between periods of Game three of the Stanley Cup playoff
series with Carolina. Again, Florida Panthers forward Brad Marshant confirming
(19:39):
that he actually did eat an entire blank between periods
of Game three of the Stanley Cup playoff series with Carolina.
That is the Mallor riddle of the day. The answer,
We'll get to it, and we will do add next.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show days at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Mallor Show,
up all night, every night. We thank you for spending
part of the third shift with us. We're here five
nights a week at the podcast on the weekends and
coming up on Thursday a couple days away, Big Malord
Meet and Greet. First one of twenty twenty five oh
Cod out more on that in a minute. Reminder, interact
(20:29):
with us on X at Ben Mallor. That's at Ben
Mallor in Salo to Lorraina. All bundle up and he's
got that cold weather hered here, the cold front, big
cold front, Yes, very cold, and you so little Lorraino
FSR tech queen. She's on X but she's really on
(20:50):
Instagram more.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Than follow me.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Bell No, don't talk to me. And Cooper Loop is
in the producer's chair right over there. Saleo to him
at uh Bronco fan, your comments can and we'll be
used against you in the court of sports radio. Act
accordingly and back to it, well, back to it. Don't
forget though, I cannot promote this enough. If you're able
to make it. I know it's geographically undesirable for most,
(21:14):
but if you're in a part of the country that
means you can make it. Or in Canada obviously it
was where the thing's at. We're very excited about this.
Gonna be a great time Thursday night, May twenty nine,
today's the twenty seven, So do the math on that
court side on Maine seven pm to ten pm. We
will be hanging out and having a great old time
(21:35):
just telling stories, eating food, and the hospitality from what
I hear rumors are hospitality, next level, next level hospitality.
And I'll be there. The Lorrain is going to be there.
Coop will be there as well, so our Canadian brothers
and sisters can come hang out. And if you're in
the Pacific Northwest within reasonable driving distance. We've had RSVPs
(21:59):
from far far away. People are flying in for this
from the States, and Big Lou will be there. Several
others have said they're going to show up. Some have
said they're driving up from places like Idaho and the
Washington State. We'll see how many those people actually show
up from Idaho? Is that? Is that not allowed?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Or that's a long drive?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Is it? How long a drive is it? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I don't know how long of drive is that?
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Coop?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
What's the next state over? So it can't be that bad, right,
It depends, well, I guess it depends what part of
Idaho you're in.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Be like twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It's not twenty four hours. You're ridiculous, Yeah, it's not
that long. Go like boys, what about Boise? We have
a lot of listeners and boys, how about Boise to Vancouver.
How many hours is that drive? That can't be that bad.
It's like eight hours something like that. Coop's doing the
math on that right now. We'll get to the ten hours,
all right, ten hour. No, you don't think anyone will
(22:52):
drive ten hour. We think we're not worth ten.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Possible because from here to Roseburg, Oregon, it's twelve hours.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
California is a ggantic shits California.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
If it was on the East coast, it would take
up like Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and like Virginia,
we would take up the whole east like to all
those states on the East coast would be just one
state if it was like the West coast. I think anyway,
it is the Ben Mahler Show. I got to pay
off the mallor riddle of the day. And here's the
malar riddle to day. Carolina or not Carolina, Florida Panther
(23:24):
forward Brad Marshant, that's a hockey team, Florida Panthers. Brad Marshant,
former bruin, confirming that he did eat he ate an
entire blank during the between periods portion of Game three
of the Stanley Cup playoff series with Carolina and that
is the mallor riddle of the day. Let's see, does
(23:44):
anyone know the answer? What do we have here? Milkman
Mike says he ate an entire suitcase of white Castle
sliders is the answer here? It's good. Lady Sideburns says
something about a sauk. What else do we have? Bubbo Wallace,
for some reason, was guessed by far Out Dave Mason,
(24:07):
Listener Mason and Huntington Beach said something about a red
wing like cheerleader. I don't know what that. Kathy in
Madison says poutine. Poutine is the answer. A rat guessed
by Alf the alien o pineer. Stevie Meatballs is out there,
(24:28):
he says, admitted to eating the Tampa Bay lightning and
there that's what he said. For something else there, God's
dip ranch dressing. That's actually the devil's blood. Yeah, let's
hear a whole bag of cowcrap from Josh in Nebraska.
Fergdug says a giant rat from the Mountains of New Guinea,
(24:51):
a giant rat, Chick fil A Chicken nuggets from King Rory,
A big Texan seventy two ounce steak from DJs Ben
Patrick in San Diego. Who I am killing at scrabble?
A vaseline guessed by Donkey sausage, a salamander from Robin, Minnesota.
A poutine burrito from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Tell me,
(25:16):
Mike the leprechaunsays, an entire plate of Finway Park Franks.
He ate a whole pizza pie from truck or Joe.
That's his answer. Kevin says, he ate Rocky Mountain oysters.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
What do you think we order a pizza?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I ate an entire case of prunes between periods. Chef
boy r D guessed by Jared in honor of Marcel
and Brooklyn. A raw chicken from courtesy Flusher. Johnny Q
got a ride. He's a cheater. That's the only way
to get it right, Loreina, do you have an answer? Lorena?
I need to know.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
This is hard.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
I'm gonna go with a whole bag of powdered donuts bag.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, whole bag of powdered donuts. No, that is incorrect.
Turns out that Brad Marshant and a couple of his
teammates decided to eat a chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard
from Dairy Queen between periods. So the diet of champions.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Blizzard the other day?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, is that on the ultimate You suck Carolina? No,
I think there's so much better the Florida Panthers. There's
so much better than the Carolina Hurricanes. That these dudes
can be eaten dairy queen between periods and still shove
the puck down their throat. Okay, suck. Yeah. Anyway, let's
go to the phones and Andrea. I guess there's a
(26:34):
cosmic event we need to know about. Andrea is in
Berkeley and she is up next here and she's the
astrology lady. Hello Andrea, welcome, Oh man, how are you?
If I was any better, I would be sleeping, But
I'm here, So here we are.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Well. You know, good news for the malor meet and greet.
We have the new moon in Gemini. You know how
much we love the Farmer's Almanac.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yeah, and we have the new moon.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
In Gemini tonight. And the moon's in a sign for
two and a half days, and Gemini's communication teaching, talking, traveling,
so that's a nice auspicious moon sign. And then it
shifts into Cancer, which is home and family. So the
meet and greet on some level also feels like home
and family.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Oh see, that will be hanging out with our family.
Our family will have a great time with family. That's wonderful.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
I thought that was a nice cosmic kind of college.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
That's good. I like to hear, thank you, it's wonderful.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Really did want to share that, and oh yes, and
I didn't get a chance real briefly to share. Bill
Belichick and.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Dan Jordan, Yes, the couple of you know what you know,
they're actually compatible.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
He's April sixteen, nineteen fifty two. She's March fifth, two
thousand and one, and he's an Aries and she's a Pisces.
But she has Venus, the planet of love and beauty
and money and finances in Airys and.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Bill's got, he's got ugly and money is what he is.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
So she kind of hit the jackpot here. This is
quite lot.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well, she definitely hit the jackpot, that is for sure.
She's become a very wealthy young lady.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Yes, in the ring, because not only does he truly
like her and on some levels she likes him. Venus
is love and beauty and money. It's a planet that
wills love, beauty, and finance.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It is a bit of a material relationship though, you'd agree, right, yes,
I would have age there.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Yeah, I mean she does, you know, have her own
money to her credit, but yes, I.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Think when you have, I don't know that she has
her own money. She's become very well, She's gotten a
lot of money. She owns a bunch of real estate.
Her portfolio, her real estate portfolio is next level. But
that just I know it's a coincidence. It just started
that she able, she was able to buy all these
properties once she started sleeping with Belichick. I'm sure there's
no coincidence there, No, there's not.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
And then when I saw her venus in air and
she's with an aries man, It's like, doesn't get much
better than that. I think, you know, she's probably tuned
into astrology.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
It's like, oh going again. She's I believe, the daughter
of like a fishing family from Maine, and she's now
worth She's got eight million dollars in her real estate portfolios,
getting well, she's definitely putting the work in to get
that eight million. So I mean she's doing something to
(29:27):
get that, you know. I mean that's you don't get
that for nothing. All right, Well, thank you, Andrea. Good news,
don't worry about the malor meet and greet. The cosmic
sign is in our favor.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Very nice, and just so you know, I'm busy working
on prock party.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Okay, all right, well let's know, let's know because he
got a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
We know that, yes, bad as we speak.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
All right, thank you, all right, good luck. There's Andrea.
She'll check in later this week. Prez. Appreciate that Manuel
is Ina Guardina and Manuel is next. Hello, legendary caller
Manuel in Guardina.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Hey, BENNI real quick, so I want to use my
golden ticket to and god win the Mallards Mountain of money.
All right, but I do want to make this phone call.
So first off, you haven't been giving yourself enough credit, Benny,
so I'm gonna do it for you. I want to
(30:20):
thank you, my man uh Bronco fan and the beautiful
Lorena for being here on the holiday, because there's so
many of these pukes that are talk show hosts that
don't even freaking show up on holidays, and I'm sick
of it. Where's the work ethic at damn it? They
(30:42):
better be showing up for these holidays like the Mallard
Show does. Mallor is an extravagantenza, and it's second to none.
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Take that you are your big time talk to your
hosts and your second mansions living on you on the beach,
on your we're in here slaving away over hot microphones.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
Exactly. Now, the other thing I wanted to do. You know,
first off, you're a candy ass if you don't tune
into the whole Mallard Show. All right, and that's a
proven fact. You're a powder puff. Once you turn on
that Fox Sports Radio, whether it's the iHeart or the
Blaue Torch of AM five seventy, you better not turn
(31:26):
it off until three am Pacific, six am Eastern. And
I would even go as far as to say you
got to listen to my man Jonas Knox as well. However,
you had a caller I believe his name was Deacon
the Mouth who was having trouble sleeping. Just tell him
(31:47):
to podcast his call, and that freaking U Sarley or
whatever the hell his name is from Abston that those
two phone calls on a loop will put in body.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Okay, So just put Charlie the Dallas Dumper and then
put the Deacon back to back and you'll be fast,
you're to sleep like a baby.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Yeah, I mean he's no mister irrigation. We all know.
Mister Irrigation is the class of Houston, as was Rocket Chris,
even though he quit on us.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
But uh yeah, he sold out. He sold out for
the daytime money. He's a sellout Chris and Houston.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
But that you know what, Benny, that's not even an excuse.
You know as well as I do. When I was
working daytime, I found a way to call this show.
That's true and real quick, real quick on what Andrea
was saying. God bless her. But come on, man, we
to quote Kanye, We're not saying she's a gold digger,
(32:44):
but she don't mess with no brokennword. Okay, I mean
this lady didn't have no money on her own. She
was with some hedge fun king before Bill or whatever.
To quote your old partner, Dave Schmid's dad. It's funny
how when a guy has a fat wallet he becomes
(33:04):
like Lorenzo Lamas or freaking Brad Pitt, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, no, No, there is a correlation causation situation where
men become much more attractive when they have a lot
of money. I don't know that's the case with women.
If you take like an ugly woman and she's got
a lot of money, I don't know. I don't think
it works the same way.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
Nobody's waiting around for Rosie O'donnald all right, all right?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Didn't she hold babe?
Speaker 7 (33:29):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I put you on it. Didn't she move to like
leave the country as.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Rosie catching the strays? No that it was Ellen degenerous.
You're getting your no, No, wasn't ROSI uh, I thought
it was.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
She didn't move. I think Rosie did too. Yeah, yes,
there was a mass exis. Yeah. Hey, I need some contestants.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
