Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number two, our number two, ready for you
on the Ben Malor Show. And we begin this hour
with a report saying that the reason that Pittsburgh traded
one of their star receivers is to accommodate their quarterbacks.
So thumbs up or thumbs down on the Steelers giving
(00:22):
up George Pickens to accommodate the wants and needs of
Aaron Rodgers. Also former Packers defensive Backjaiyar Alexander joining the Ravens.
Will this be a bromance with Lamar Jackson or a
bust in Baltimore? And Jerry Jones is giving Cowboys cheerleaders
a four hundred increase in pay. What does this signify
(00:47):
to you? We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Right now here, it is our number two. You did
it for who? What? What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Well?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Come, in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malar Show.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Show to be.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So we're doing a call in radio show and I
think only one line is working.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Our lead this hour is from Pittsburgh, PA, the land
of the Insers. Now why are we starting here? I
thought this story was interesting. I have editorial control over
the show, so we'll start with this. A little nugget,
not a chicken nugget, just not a gold nugget, But
it was a nugget that made its way out on
(02:28):
the inspiration the motivation for the Steelers to trade wide
receiver George Pickens.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
You might remember Pickens was unloaded to.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
The Dallas Cowboys in a trade and they gave they
being the Steelers. They gave Pickens to Dallas for I
believe they got two safety pins and a handful of
pocket lint in that deal. That's what they got for
George Pickens. So if you didn't see the motivation, perhaps not.
(02:57):
I thought it was interesting. The Pittsburgh football team had
determined that it was a toxic situation. If Aaron Rodgers
were to play with George Pickens, they could not coexist.
They could not co mingle, said the aforementioned report. So
Rogers was not They knew that Rogers was coming to Pittsburgh,
(03:17):
even though it took months and months for it to
all be worked out. But Rogers was not going to
be able to deal with George Pickens and his interesting
perspective on football life.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So they said, all right, we gotta get rid of Pickens.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So Tomlin and on the other big shots there in
Pittsburgh unloaded Pickens in a proactive move to accommodate Aaron Rodgers,
the guy that hadn't agreed to the contract yet, at
least not as far as we know. He said, well,
I'm probably going to go there, but he hadn't agreed
to it. So let us discuss the question. Thumbs up
(03:53):
or thumbs down, thumbs up thumbs down on the Steelers trading,
George Pickens to a comm at eight Aaron Rodgers that
that's why they made the move. So on this one,
I've got DIY chicken soup and binge watching, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
(04:14):
gonna make the gabba.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Ghoul is what we're gonna make.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So number wa, he said, number WA. I'm giving this
not a thumbs up or a thumbs down, a sideways thumb.
I'm giving this the old sideways thumb. And here's why,
I feel like it's part of the story, but not
the entire story. Here, George Pickens was already on thin ice.
(04:38):
Can we all agree on that? I think we can all.
You're nodding your head, yes we oh, yes. He was
at Loggerheads with Mike Tumman. We documented it behind the
Bully Pulpit here on FSR we documented there there were
some issues there. Mike Tomlin and Pickens were not seeing
eyed eye and all that stuff, and he had become
a walking, talking destruction for the Pittsburgh foot ball team. Immature,
(05:01):
the critics said, and was the stuff of locker room
legend locker room legend George Pickens, which is great talk radio.
As we have pointed out, the players that cause problems,
the players that have issues are good talk radio and
George Pickens. Was that a sideline out burst here that
gets you an entire monologue?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Right, that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Half hearted blocking being called out by teammates. There's another monologue,
boom boom boom boom boom. Line them up, knock them down, right,
and the eye rolls from teammates. Bad body language on
the sidelines. There's another one in another one in another one.
And so the front office in Pittsburgh did not trust
(05:48):
George Pickens, that he was good as a wide receiver,
but not could enough and could not be trusted to
play nice in the sandbox. So rather than allow him
to be in the sandbox, they kicked his ass out
and send him the downs. And with DK Metcalf coming
in a similar type player as George Pickens, it didn't
(06:09):
make a lot of sense to keep them both around,
and so Pickens was expendable, and so they got rid
of him. The Aaron Rodgers wrinkle to the story here
that they used the Aaron Rodgers story of his addition
as the thing that lit the flame for the trade.
The Rogers was like a human shield if you will,
(06:32):
to cover for the trade. That's more of a it's
like a therapeutic cleansing. For Mike Tom it's a DIY project. Now,
normally they tell you that this is not a DIY project,
you don't do this yourself. But the Steelers decided to
do it themselves. When I say that, they said, we've
got to clean out the lead, the asbestis the carcinogens.
(06:54):
We've got to get rid of all of that in
the toxic mold in the attic.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Over the Steelers facility.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So they got rid of the lead, the asbestos, the carcinogens,
all of that, the toxic mold. Just one move done
and Rogers, of course, it would have been good for
our purposes if Pickens had stayed with the Steelers, because
that would have guaranteed Rogers, with some passive aggressive behavior,
would have eaten Pickens lunch, would have gone on, Joe
(07:23):
Rogan drink some ayahuasca and had a field day with Pickens.
And you look around this likely in his last year.
It logically makes no sense for the Steelers to get
rid of Pickens. If they're merely doing it for Aaron Rodgers,
because Rogers is gonna be in Pittsburgh for one year
and then some other washed up quarterback will come and
(07:45):
play for the Steelers next year.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It's revolving door.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So why would you get rid of a guy who's
good not great George Pickens? And why would you do that?
Why would you tailor the roster? Why would you tailor
the roster for Aaron Rodgers liking when he's only gonna
be either one year in May Sinse? All right, now
page two to Baltimore, we go the transaction wire lighting up.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
There was actually that was a sound. It made NFL
tran Zack Shaddon very exciting.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So the former former Green Bay Packer defensive back Jaiyir
Alexander has a new home. He's becoming a poet, a
Baltimore poet better known as the Ravens the Dead Poet Society,
And so Jaire Alexander will join his old college buddy
(08:35):
Lamar Jackson with the Ravens. Will this be a bromance
or a bust in Baltimore for Jaiir Alexander. So after
a minutes long, minutes long, Mallard deliberation on Jaire Alexander.
We are going with option three. All of the above.
It will both be a bromance and it will be
(08:55):
a bust or go.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
But Ravens aren't going to win the super Bowl. I'm
not going to get to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
And Jayira Alexander is on the on the backside of
dominance in the NFL. However, however, that does not mean
that they will not be sweet nothings whispered between the
two teammates. They the old college buddies. This is being
built as the NFL's feel good buddy flick of twenty
twenty five. A couple old college pals reunited it and it
(09:25):
feels so good. A you know, tug at the heartstrings
type story, right, tug at the heart strings type story.
Disney like college pals get together to win a championship
in Baltimore and the confetti rains down and the crowd.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Goes wild and all that now.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Alexander Jahi Alexander at one point was an elite, elite
defensive back for the Green Bay football team.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
He was and not anymore, but he was for a
couple of years there.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And now he got fired because the Packers asked him
to take a pay cut. He said, I ain't taking
a pay cut, so he ditched the frozen thunder, which
is not frozen this time of the year. He said
bye bye, and now the story is well. He turned
down more money. That's the report. Jaire Alexander turned out
more money to play with Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. However,
(10:15):
the chatter is the team that offered more money is
the Carolina Panthers, which are barely an NFL team, barely
an NFL team, and so he ends up getting a
one year contract, the former Green Bay Packer Jaire Alexander
one year contract six million to play alongside his old
Louisville palell Lamar Jackson. Of course, they won't be playing
(10:37):
at the same time because one plays defense, one plays offense,
Thus the conundrum. But you get the point, and so
this is being hyped up. I mentioned the Buddy Flick
chicken soup for the soul type story here. Unfortunately this
is not some rom com or anything like that, and
it's more like an episode of Seinfeld than you might remember.
(10:58):
The soup Nazi. No sooner for you, no chicken soup
for you. So it just doesn't pass the smell test. Again,
there will be the hey, we are buddy, buddy and
all that stuff, but it smells more like a risky gamble.
It's not risky in terms of the finances because it's
not a lot of money. It's a one year deal
(11:19):
for the Ravens and all that, but the idea that
this is the missing piece.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
The Ravens already had a pretty good secondary.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Every year the Ravens have a good defense, and then
something just a little off, just a hair here, just
something just a little sideways, and it doesn't work right.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And so yeah, it's not a lot of money and all,
but it's a diminishing asset.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
And here's why this guy was an elite player. Jay R.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Alexander locked down big chunks of real estate for the
Green Bay Packers, oozing with the swagger capital.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
As for the swag, he had aura. He had aura,
which a big thing.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
However, that is the player that he wont not the
player that he is today until proven all the wise.
I thought he can go out there and dominate and
make me look like a total donkey. But at this point,
we do the show today and he has been camping
out a lot in the injury tent. He has missed
twenty games. Twenty games over the last two years. That
(12:19):
is more than half of the available games he has missed.
And so he's been out a lot a long time,
all kinds of ailments. It looks like a medical book
and some college medical students looking at on different parts
of the body that can be injured. Their hamstring here,
a shoulder.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Over there, you name it, and so green bed they
got fed up. Whatever. The Packers are weird franchise.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The way they're operating there, and they cut a loose
But the bottom line here on this particular transaction is
the Ravens were already a contender, right, They're a heavyweight contender.
They're not quite as good as the Eaves, and the
Bills are right there. The Bills are a little bit
better than them. Usually you think that that's close. So
(13:07):
they're there and Alexander injury pron player and all that,
and it's more of like a lottery ticket. Now people
do win the lottery. People do win the lottery. It
does happen more people lose the lottery than when we
used to have a guy who he quit the show
a while back from Arkansas, Sir scratch Off and that
(13:29):
that was his nickname. And he's won some money in
the lottery. It's also lost a lot of money in
the lottery. All right, now, final point. We head now
to Dallas. Why because there was a story that caught
my attention. Jerry Jones, who loves stars, loves to hang
out with famous people, loves being Jerry Jones wants to
(13:50):
live to be one hundred and eighty because he's living
the greatest life you can possibly live. Rich guy owns
the Dallas Cowboy. So Jerry Jones is giving out the
kindness of his heart. It's being reported he's giving the
Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders a four hundred percent increase in pay,
yes four Now they were making nothing but four hundred percent.
(14:13):
So what does that signify to you? What does that
signify to you? So I'll go first year this is
it signifies to me? Bing binge watching gone bad, binge
watching gone bad. Meaning let me explain that Jerry was
catching up watching some of the Netflix documentary that's out
(14:34):
there about the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and had a metamorphosis.
He's like, wait a minute, here, the Cowboy cheerleaders were bitching.
They were complaining about how much money they were making.
It's been this way, of course, for fifty years. The
Cowboy cheerleaders have made no money. They're an add on
item for the Cowboys and just absolute chump change. It's
(14:55):
been that way since the beginning. And Jerry Jones says,
decided now to open up the vault, and he's gone
in there. He's dusted off the bank vault and open
it up and all that. After the Netflix sob story
called America's Sweethearts.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I believe that's the name of it. I think that's
the name of it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And the show that featured the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders there
whining about having to work multiple jobs and practicing forty
hours a week for the Cowboy cheerleading squad and doing
it all for pennies on the dollar, pennies on the dollar,
and of course unpopular opinion. Nobody forced you. Nobody forced
(15:42):
you to try out for the Dallas Cowboy cheerleading squad,
and once they told you how much it paid, you
didn't have to continue to do the job. I'm just saying,
but chances are you probably wanted the spotlight. You wanted
the trimmings that come with that job and the photo
shoots and all that stuff and the celebrity that you get. Right,
(16:02):
if you're a Dallas Cowboy cheerlider, that's kind of a
big deal, and people talk about you differently and near
your friends back in high school, like, oh, she's a
Cowboy cheerleader. That's like a big deal. But that doesn't
pay the rent, I don't think until now, and even
now it's it's not that much. But Jerry tried to
downplay the negative vibrations around that story about how cheap
(16:26):
the Cowboys owner was and bad PR, bad PR. And
Jerry likes everyone to say how great he is, and
so he's been dodging lawsuits related to the Cowboy cheerleaders.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
There was a high profile.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Lawsuit while back, and he's looking to cut the lawyers
off of the pass, so we'll pay him more money.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Now another unpopular opinion. If Jerry Jones won, he's just
disbanded the Cowboy cheerier. Cheerleaders are not necessary. You can
have an NFL team without cheerleaders. In fact, they're certainly
a luxury more than a necessity in the NFL. And
it's like a window dressing. It's like a relic from
(17:09):
a different era. In the NFL was a mom and
pop operation, and back in the nineteen seventies, even before that,
but really the nineteen seventies was the heyday for the cheerleaders,
and back in those days when the NFL was owned
by families and not conglomerates.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Although I say this.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
As Jerry Jones is a family ownership group, a family
ownership group. But they were like, hey, man, let's throw
some hot chicks out there, and these trunk losers will
be happy. You know, the team sucks, but they'll look
at the beautiful girls and they'll be happy.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
And so they did. But the times have certainly changed
since then.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
And it's just fluff and it often leads to more losses.
How many cheerleading squads have sued NFL teams? I know
in Washington the team formerly knows the Redskins, there was
a high profile lawsuit. The Cowboys have had a lawsuit.
I believe the Arizona Cardinals have had a lawsuit, and
I'm sure there's others that's just off the top of
my head. But they're not needed and it's more of
(18:09):
a hassle than anything. Now, the Cowboys do find a
way to make money and then there's a little more
glamour there with the Cowboys and other teams. But my
evidence that they're not needed, if I'm not mistaken, twenty
five percent of the NFL doesn't have cheerleaders. Twenty there's
thirty two members of the cartel and twenty five percent.
Eight of the thirty two teams don't have cheerleads. The Bears,
(18:30):
the Packers, the Browns, the Giants, although the Bears do
have Tony in the Bay Air. He is a cheerleader
for the Chicago Bears, but not a formal cheerleader. And
they get the Jets. They don't have the bills. Some
of these teams have had them in past. The Steelers don't.
Even the Chargers, they're able to play their games without
pomp pomps. They're able to do it and it doesn't
(18:50):
seem to affect the bottom line.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Anyway, that's my two cents on that. If you'd like
to be part you can. Probably you're better off just
sending me a message on exce's out and the phones
literally one line open actually is no I mean there's
one line working, which is very odd to me.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
But anyway, I've.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Been here, been away for a couple days, and then
I thought, well, they'd fix the phones, but no they didn't. Anyway,
SALEO on X at Ben Matthew want to give it
a shot on the phones. It probably will not work.
You're wasting your time. At eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. Later on this hour, we'll have Mallardly Third Degree.
We'll also have the Insta Trivia coming up later in
(19:29):

bad couple of days.
Speaker 1 (19:34):

than see here twenty five emails from blind Scott who

and a disaster.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
What are we having now?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I did see Malard prop guy right in. He says,
another fantastic Hour number two Mallard monologue, and he's got
me as a cheerleader of late night drug tester Rights,
Sin says, I agree that Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders should be
grateful they were getting paid at all. I mean, Jerry
(22:49):
can hardly afford to fully clothe them during the games. Well,
the cost of fabric is extreme. Nick the win Guy
writes that he says, I normally I am normally a baseball fan. However,
I'd watch pom poms over that annoying Taylor Swift any day,
(23:09):
I'd any day.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
All right, what else do we have? Page?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And uh, ferg Dog says, how about the Halo's laying
a beatdown on the Yankees three games in ro row?
Not bad for a ragtag team of misfits. Oh, do
you think we've still got a chance of winning the Pennant? Well,
it depends on how many times do you play the
video game, Ferg Dog, if you reset and go back
(23:34):
to there. No, but the Angels they are six and
oh this season at Dodger Stadium and Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
And what a I was watching this game?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Actually, I usually have a game on in the background,
and I happen to be watching the Yankees Angels game.
And it was awesome because I flashed back watching the
Yankees defense implode, Anthony Volpi a hole in his glove
at shortstop for the Yankees, a defense boo boo for
the Bronx Bombers. And it reminded me of the greatest
(24:03):
defensive playoff ever seen by Yankee. Aaron Judge in center
field fifth inning and Tommy Tanks hits the fly ball
center field and Aaron jar and he butchers the ball
fifth inning floodgates open up, Garrett Cole fails to cover
first base, and Dodgers of the Champions of Baseball because
(24:24):
of the incompetence of the Yankee defense. And it's good
to see that Aaron Boone team still blows on defense.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
And the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You talk about a team having a tough patch there.
I know you didn't ask about that for Doug. You
want to do Angel propaganda. But the New York Yankees
have been getting smoked. Here. I got swept by the
Red Sox over the weekend. Now of the Angels, that's
not a sweep. There's a day game today. But what
is wrong with the New York Yankees have lost for
(24:54):
the eighth time now or six time in a row
and eight time eighteen games. The losing streak though, the
longest since they've lost nine straight and that was back
in August. So the Yankees are having having their problem.
Six straight losses for the mighty New York Yankees, and
(25:16):
there's nobody hitting nobody. Let's go to the phones. We'll
say hello to.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Us, see her any meanie money.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Moo Tony in the Bay Area, Hello, Tony, welcome, Hey man.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Are you cool?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
With Brian.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Now, uh, I don't really know Brian Man. He fills
and he does a good job from what I understand.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, don't. I don't have an issue. Seems like a
good guy.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Why, okay, could you let him know if he goes
on YouTube and types in L seven slob he can
see a guy crying down a slide and rolling around
like a little girl, where he could just type in
David Veasse.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Oh okay, thank you, you're okay. There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So tremendous contribution by Tony in the Bay Area. I'm
so glad we took that call. Alf the Alien, Opie
writes and says, hey, Ben, the Chargers may not have
pom bombs, but they have thundersticks. Just ask Eddie Garcia. Well, yeah,
Eddie's the not. Eddie's wife is really our old buddy
Eddie that used to work here.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Eddie's name outshawfing Ma.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, but I did text Eddie the other day. We
were talking of your text because I at the Dodger game.
Marlin's Man invited me to He's a fan of the show.
As he drives around South Beach clubbing at late at
night there in Miami, and Eddie's name came up, so
I text Eddie and then he wrote back, and we
were going back and forth on that, and it was
(26:39):
it was wonderful. Og Art Puffin writes and says, unlike
the poor Podres, whom by this time tomorrow will fail,
will fall rather by the mop at the hands of
the greatest MLB club to ever exist. Yep, you guessed it,
my Los Angeles Dodgers, says og Art Puffman.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I did see some.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Rhythmic chanting after the Dodgers beat the Padres on a
Will Smith home run.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
There there were.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
People chanting anti San Diego propaganda there as they were
very excited with that late win. After the Dodger bullpen.
What's left of the Dodger bullpen, Blue the lead slot boy,
that Dodger pitching staff. For all the talk that this
team is the greatest pitching staff of all time blah
(27:27):
blah blah blah blah blah blah back in spring training,
and some of the pitchers that they're out, And I like,
I watched baseball every night, I'm watching multiple games. There
are guys on the Dodgers. I have no idea who
they are. I don't know where they came from I
don't know where they're going, and yet doesn't matter. Dodgers
end up winning most of these games. They are seventeen
(27:48):
games above five hundred, and most of that at Dodger Stadium.
That's the twenty fifth comeback win this season for the Dodgers.
First place. They've won five in a row and this
season against the Padres, who lived to beat the Dodgers.
The Padres are one in five against the Doyers this season,
(28:11):
which I'm told is not good. I'm told is not good.
So over the past weekend turned the Patriot at Golf.
But it's not really a golf story. It's just about
what you do when you're having a bad couple of days.
So the US Open was very difficult outside Pittsburgh. Now
I watched a little bit of this. We didn't really
do much on it. I did mention the US Open.
(28:34):
It wasn't really worthy of a.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Full Mallard monologue, I believe.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I talked about ry McElroy and some of the things
he said over the weekend about I don't need to
talk to the media. I've earned the right, you know,
because he's God's gift to golf. So we goofed on
him a little bit. I didn't really talk about the
tournament itself because it really wasn't worthy of a full monologue.
But it was a tough weekend, as it's supposed to
be at the US Open. And after the event, Dan
(29:00):
speF he he said that he was so shaken up.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
By the way that he played and he didn't do
that well and all.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
That stuff, that he went over to Buffalo Wild Wings
and what did he do Abuffal wild Wings?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
He got hammered.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
He he said, I needed to throw a few back,
just that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
So he went over there and let it rip, let
it rip another It was the third major of the
year there at Oakmont, and he's, you know, I just
didn't go so well.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Some guy named JJ Spahn, who I found out from
somebody in San Diego who sent me an email, said
he eight students from San Diego State. Man, Like, how
am I supposed to know where golfers went to college?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Anyway? Uhyah, I'm not that into golf. I'm not. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I don't have a scorecard where they went to college,
nor do I want to know that.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I do not want to know that.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
But anyway, Jordan speed said he was so mentally exhausted
when everything was done, so taken aback by the tremendously
difficult course that he had to go. And uh, you know,
let some let some drinks go unwind and unwind a
little bit, crushed some beers and some wings. And let
me guess, I'm gonna go on on a limb and
(30:16):
say that he's sponsored by Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I don't know that for sure.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
It's possible that it's not the case, but uh, I'm
just going on a limb.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Hears a more.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Likely than not, more likely than not that he's got
some kind of endorsement deal.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Otherwise he would have said Hooters or something else.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
He would have gone some other direction there and and
that's the way that would have gone. Uh, and you
feed me in Chicago, writes and he says, Hey, Mallard,
a plus and a double butterburger with cheese. On the
Mallard monologue at the top of the hour it begin
the show, he says Wall Street is taking over professional sports.
Eventually that will only be conglomerates owning teams. Says you
(30:59):
feed me, Well, if you want an example of that,
now you're in Chicago, ya Feemi, and you go down
to Wrigley Field now and you drive around that area
around the ballpark.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
The Cubs ownership group.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Bought pretty much all of the real estate right around
Wrigley Field now.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I was at Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Many many years ago, and it's been a minute, and
when I had first gone to Wrigley Field, it was
the way it had been since.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
The beginning, right It was just like all these like dive.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Bars and housing and they put seats, crappy seats on
the roof across from Wrigley Field, and it was just
the way it had been and the way I grew
up watching it on WGN, the superstation with Harry Carey
and Steve Stone calling.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Cubs games when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
So I went there and I saw it, and I
was a young guy, as a young adult, I saw
it that way. And then I went back a couple
of years ago and went to Wrigley and it was
like being at Disney Disneyland, like downtown Disney. They had
bought pretty much everything around the ballpark and it just
had this corporate kind of haze and it just lost
(32:04):
all of the feel, if you know what I mean.
You know it's just stuff, you know, corporate stuff takes over.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And it loses that. I don't know what the word.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I'm looking for is, but there's something about that where
you just you don't have the same and they try
to recreate it, like these teams that buy the property
around the ball, but they try to re Like the
Red Sox did the same thing in Boston.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
They bought a lot of the stuff around Finnway.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
And it's a little different there because of the way
the setup is around Finway Park, at least in my
experience when I've been there a few times over the years.
But Wrigley Field just really felt like so corporate, like
it was like over the top corporate. Anyway, it is
the Ben Mallor Show. As we are working a way
through the over night. Now I think we have the
play of the day. I have no idea. I did
(32:49):
not find out what the player it is, so I
don't know what it is. I don't know what sport
is from. I have no idea. So I guess we'll
just say play the play of the day and then
we'll find out what it is.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I have no idea. Nobody told me here we go
hit that button night Smith is a fly ball right
center field. Tutsi's on there on hut the Woodie track

Dodgers win on the walk off home run, and that
is the tire i Rack Play of the night. For

get you to listen a little bit longer, and it
does tie into the play of the day or this

the play of the day was going to be. But
here is the Insta trivia. Will Smith, who you just

hit the heard hit that home run for the Doyers.
Will Smith hit his third career pinchit walk off home run.
Now Blank holds the MLB record with six career pinchit
walk off home runs. Again, Dodgers catcher Will Smith hit
his third career pinchit walk.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Off home run.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Blank, though holds the all time Major League Baseball record
with six career pinchit walk off home runs.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
That is the Insta tribute. The answer.

(36:01):
Let's does anyone know the answer? Ostrich Ant is up
late with us. He's going with Kermit the Frog. That's
his answer. Scott Hadiberg good name by o g art
puffin Benny the Bull from your FEMI in Chicago, Milkman
Mike in Colorado says, black thunder, white lightning is the answer.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Bill Miller guessed by Alf the alien o final one
of the games I was watching, Bill Miller was the
crew chief. I think that might have been the Yankee game.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
He has another job.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Yeah yeah, he moonlights and then comes in and does
the show. You're allowed late night drug tester says, you
are Maclamore, who is forty two today?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Do you know who Maclamore is? I do, yes, he
used to date Ariana Grande. Okay, that's on his Wikipedia pitch.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Keith Ocho, Texo says the answer is obviously legendary slugger
Ichiro Suzuki, unless it's not Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, the
legend who we met the malar meet and greets going
with Matt Stairs as his answer. Sean in Portland says
dj as he Jeff is the way to go Donkey
Sausage going with Chris Rock and uh yeah, keep mom,
(37:07):
that's will Well Will Smith to keep my wife's name.
Uh what a Dolly parton Guests by Bobby in Florida,
Henry Rowan Gartner from Slim tim one of the iconic
baseball movies of all time, Royce Lewis from Robin, Minnesota,
Don Baylor from a Reek in Minnesota. Joe Exoticus by
(37:27):
our friend Gil in San Diego. The Grill Sergeant is listening.
You know it's a big night. If the grill sergeant's listening.
He says, the answer has to be says I'm at
the drive through. It has to be Ronald McDonald. That
that is the answer unless unless it's not. No, the
correct answer, LARRAINA. Do you know the answer, Lorraine?
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yes, I think I know it again, Bett, Okay, go ahead,
Doc mix stuff it.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
That is correct, You got it right, Good job.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
But you know it's actually Jason Giambi, the Gambino. Jason
Giambi was six double Will Smith, but Jiambi played a
long time for the Yankees in the A's Jason Giambi
six career pinch it walk off home runs.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, we go.
How about here we go, Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
This is gets grail, all right.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
So the Packers will not be extending the contracts of
Matt Lafleur and g and Brian Gudukunz before the season
team president and policy.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah that's the sounds like his porn name. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
He also said that he is generally opposed to the
head coach and general manager working as lame ducks, so
this would imply that those two will either have extensions
by this time next year or be fired by this
time next year.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Yeah, which do you have your money on? Ben?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
All right, so you go back the Green Bay Packers
since the year two thousand, the year two thousand, I
believe they've had three coaches in the last twenty five years.
That's it. That's all. So there's a weird setup ownership.
I'm gonna go they keep everyone nothing shape in status
quo at lambeau Field that they'll get extensions Lafour unless
(39:06):
he wants to go somewhere else and Gouda kuns Gotta
be careful how you say that?
Speaker 3 (39:09):
In next Jaguars gym James Gladstone said an interview on
Tuesday that Travis hunter stamina is so incredible that he
could play offense and defense for an entire game.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Ben, Do you think we'll get a chance to see that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (39:21):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Jacksonville sucks.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
You might as well play him every single play, play
them on special teams, play them on defense, play them
on offense. Give people a reason to watch a pathetic
team with the overrated Trevor Lawrence, who's been a bust,
who was supposed to be God's gift at the quarterback position,
The flowing locks like Samson, and the guy stinks at quarterbacks,
so why not just play? Play them every play? And
(39:43):
you know that's we have nothing.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Else to watch The Jags fort next.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Lebron James will turn forty one in December, but isn't
prepared to offer a timeline to when he will hang
it up, saying that he will just see how his
body and family reacts.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Ben, what are the chances this is his last season?
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Well, I'll guarantee you Lebron's not just gonna walk away
without a good retirement tour. Everyone kisses his ass, so
you'll know when Lebron's ready to hang it up. Because
he doesn't want to get a rocking chair, bottles of wine,
pieces of arts. He wants everyone to he can bend over,
everyone can kiss his ass on his way out of
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
So he'll announce when he's gonna retire. It's give me
a couple more years. How do we do? He passes?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Does that to win on the board, won the game,
hollering James, that's a winner, James
Boom, Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number two, our number two, ready for you
on the Ben Malor Show. And we begin this hour
with a report saying that the reason that Pittsburgh traded
one of their star receivers is to accommodate their quarterbacks.
So thumbs up or thumbs down on the Steelers giving
(00:22):
up George Pickens to accommodate the wants and needs of
Aaron Rodgers. Also former Packers defensive Backjaiyar Alexander joining the Ravens.
Will this be a bromance with Lamar Jackson or a
bust in Baltimore? And Jerry Jones is giving Cowboys cheerleaders
a four hundred increase in pay. What does this signify
(00:47):
to you? We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Right now here, it is our number two. You did
it for who? What? What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Well?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Come, in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malar Show.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
We are in the air everywhere on the River of
Life as we explore the hidden coast to coast border
the border in beyond, on the vast and nourishingly powerful
microphones of FSR amminating live from.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
The wagon as we climb the band Wagon from the
Fox Sports Radio Studios as approved by the artists known
as ostriche Ant in the Greater DC area.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
They are the Great ostriche Ant.
Speaker 2 (01:38):

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Show to be.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So we're doing a call in radio show and I
think only one line is working.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Our lead this hour is from Pittsburgh, PA, the land
of the Insers. Now why are we starting here? I
thought this story was interesting. I have editorial control over
the show, so we'll start with this. A little nugget,
not a chicken nugget, just not a gold nugget, But
it was a nugget that made its way out on
(02:28):
the inspiration the motivation for the Steelers to trade wide
receiver George Pickens.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
You might remember Pickens was unloaded to.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
The Dallas Cowboys in a trade and they gave they
being the Steelers. They gave Pickens to Dallas for I
believe they got two safety pins and a handful of
pocket lint in that deal. That's what they got for
George Pickens. So if you didn't see the motivation, perhaps not.
(02:57):
I thought it was interesting. The Pittsburgh football team had
determined that it was a toxic situation. If Aaron Rodgers
were to play with George Pickens, they could not coexist.
They could not co mingle, said the aforementioned report. So
Rogers was not They knew that Rogers was coming to Pittsburgh,
(03:17):
even though it took months and months for it to
all be worked out. But Rogers was not going to
be able to deal with George Pickens and his interesting
perspective on football life.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So they said, all right, we gotta get rid of Pickens.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So Tomlin and on the other big shots there in
Pittsburgh unloaded Pickens in a proactive move to accommodate Aaron Rodgers,
the guy that hadn't agreed to the contract yet, at
least not as far as we know. He said, well,
I'm probably going to go there, but he hadn't agreed
to it. So let us discuss the question. Thumbs up
(03:53):
or thumbs down, thumbs up thumbs down on the Steelers trading,
George Pickens to a comm at eight Aaron Rodgers that
that's why they made the move. So on this one,
I've got DIY chicken soup and binge watching, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
(04:14):
gonna make the gabba.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Ghoul is what we're gonna make.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So number wa, he said, number WA. I'm giving this
not a thumbs up or a thumbs down, a sideways thumb.
I'm giving this the old sideways thumb. And here's why,
I feel like it's part of the story, but not
the entire story. Here, George Pickens was already on thin ice.
(04:38):
Can we all agree on that? I think we can all.
You're nodding your head, yes we oh, yes. He was
at Loggerheads with Mike Tumman. We documented it behind the
Bully Pulpit here on FSR we documented there there were
some issues there. Mike Tomlin and Pickens were not seeing
eyed eye and all that stuff, and he had become
a walking, talking destruction for the Pittsburgh foot ball team. Immature,
(05:01):
the critics said, and was the stuff of locker room
legend locker room legend George Pickens, which is great talk radio.
As we have pointed out, the players that cause problems,
the players that have issues are good talk radio and
George Pickens. Was that a sideline out burst here that
gets you an entire monologue?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Right, that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Half hearted blocking being called out by teammates. There's another monologue,
boom boom boom boom boom. Line them up, knock them down, right,
and the eye rolls from teammates. Bad body language on
the sidelines. There's another one in another one in another one.
And so the front office in Pittsburgh did not trust
(05:48):
George Pickens, that he was good as a wide receiver,
but not could enough and could not be trusted to
play nice in the sandbox. So rather than allow him
to be in the sandbox, they kicked his ass out
and send him the downs. And with DK Metcalf coming
in a similar type player as George Pickens, it didn't
(06:09):
make a lot of sense to keep them both around,
and so Pickens was expendable, and so they got rid
of him. The Aaron Rodgers wrinkle to the story here
that they used the Aaron Rodgers story of his addition
as the thing that lit the flame for the trade.
The Rogers was like a human shield if you will,
(06:32):
to cover for the trade. That's more of a it's
like a therapeutic cleansing. For Mike Tom it's a DIY project. Now,
normally they tell you that this is not a DIY project,
you don't do this yourself. But the Steelers decided to
do it themselves. When I say that, they said, we've
got to clean out the lead, the asbestis the carcinogens.
(06:54):
We've got to get rid of all of that in
the toxic mold in the attic.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Over the Steelers facility.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So they got rid of the lead, the asbestos, the carcinogens,
all of that, the toxic mold. Just one move done
and Rogers, of course, it would have been good for
our purposes if Pickens had stayed with the Steelers, because
that would have guaranteed Rogers, with some passive aggressive behavior,
would have eaten Pickens lunch, would have gone on, Joe
(07:23):
Rogan drink some ayahuasca and had a field day with Pickens.
And you look around this likely in his last year.
It logically makes no sense for the Steelers to get
rid of Pickens. If they're merely doing it for Aaron Rodgers,
because Rogers is gonna be in Pittsburgh for one year
and then some other washed up quarterback will come and
(07:45):
play for the Steelers next year.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It's revolving door.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So why would you get rid of a guy who's
good not great George Pickens? And why would you do that?
Why would you tailor the roster? Why would you tailor
the roster for Aaron Rodgers liking when he's only gonna
be either one year in May Sinse? All right, now
page two to Baltimore, we go the transaction wire lighting up.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
There was actually that was a sound. It made NFL
tran Zack Shaddon very exciting.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So the former former Green Bay Packer defensive back Jaiyir
Alexander has a new home. He's becoming a poet, a
Baltimore poet better known as the Ravens the Dead Poet Society,
And so Jaire Alexander will join his old college buddy
(08:35):
Lamar Jackson with the Ravens. Will this be a bromance
or a bust in Baltimore for Jaiir Alexander. So after
a minutes long, minutes long, Mallard deliberation on Jaire Alexander.
We are going with option three. All of the above.
It will both be a bromance and it will be
(08:55):
a bust or go.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
But Ravens aren't going to win the super Bowl. I'm
not going to get to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
And Jayira Alexander is on the on the backside of
dominance in the NFL. However, however, that does not mean
that they will not be sweet nothings whispered between the
two teammates. They the old college buddies. This is being
built as the NFL's feel good buddy flick of twenty
twenty five. A couple old college pals reunited it and it
(09:25):
feels so good. A you know, tug at the heartstrings
type story, right, tug at the heart strings type story.
Disney like college pals get together to win a championship
in Baltimore and the confetti rains down and the crowd.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Goes wild and all that now.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Alexander Jahi Alexander at one point was an elite, elite
defensive back for the Green Bay football team.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
He was and not anymore, but he was for a
couple of years there.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And now he got fired because the Packers asked him
to take a pay cut. He said, I ain't taking
a pay cut, so he ditched the frozen thunder, which
is not frozen this time of the year. He said
bye bye, and now the story is well. He turned
down more money. That's the report. Jaire Alexander turned out
more money to play with Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. However,
(10:15):
the chatter is the team that offered more money is
the Carolina Panthers, which are barely an NFL team, barely
an NFL team, and so he ends up getting a
one year contract, the former Green Bay Packer Jaire Alexander
one year contract six million to play alongside his old
Louisville palell Lamar Jackson. Of course, they won't be playing
(10:37):
at the same time because one plays defense, one plays offense,
Thus the conundrum. But you get the point, and so
this is being hyped up. I mentioned the Buddy Flick
chicken soup for the soul type story here. Unfortunately this
is not some rom com or anything like that, and
it's more like an episode of Seinfeld than you might remember.
(10:58):
The soup Nazi. No sooner for you, no chicken soup
for you. So it just doesn't pass the smell test. Again,
there will be the hey, we are buddy, buddy and
all that stuff, but it smells more like a risky gamble.
It's not risky in terms of the finances because it's
not a lot of money. It's a one year deal
(11:19):
for the Ravens and all that, but the idea that
this is the missing piece.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
The Ravens already had a pretty good secondary.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Every year the Ravens have a good defense, and then
something just a little off, just a hair here, just
something just a little sideways, and it doesn't work right.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And so yeah, it's not a lot of money and all,
but it's a diminishing asset.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
And here's why this guy was an elite player. Jay R.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Alexander locked down big chunks of real estate for the
Green Bay Packers, oozing with the swagger capital.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
As for the swag, he had aura. He had aura,
which a big thing.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
However, that is the player that he wont not the
player that he is today until proven all the wise.
I thought he can go out there and dominate and
make me look like a total donkey. But at this point,
we do the show today and he has been camping
out a lot in the injury tent. He has missed
twenty games. Twenty games over the last two years. That
(12:19):
is more than half of the available games he has missed.
And so he's been out a lot a long time,
all kinds of ailments. It looks like a medical book
and some college medical students looking at on different parts
of the body that can be injured. Their hamstring here,
a shoulder.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Over there, you name it, and so green bed they
got fed up. Whatever. The Packers are weird franchise.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The way they're operating there, and they cut a loose
But the bottom line here on this particular transaction is
the Ravens were already a contender, right, They're a heavyweight contender.
They're not quite as good as the Eaves, and the
Bills are right there. The Bills are a little bit
better than them. Usually you think that that's close. So
(13:07):
they're there and Alexander injury pron player and all that,
and it's more of like a lottery ticket. Now people
do win the lottery. People do win the lottery. It
does happen more people lose the lottery than when we
used to have a guy who he quit the show
a while back from Arkansas, Sir scratch Off and that
(13:29):
that was his nickname. And he's won some money in
the lottery. It's also lost a lot of money in
the lottery. All right, now, final point. We head now
to Dallas. Why because there was a story that caught
my attention. Jerry Jones, who loves stars, loves to hang
out with famous people, loves being Jerry Jones wants to
(13:50):
live to be one hundred and eighty because he's living
the greatest life you can possibly live. Rich guy owns
the Dallas Cowboy. So Jerry Jones is giving out the
kindness of his heart. It's being reported he's giving the
Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders a four hundred percent increase in pay,
yes four Now they were making nothing but four hundred percent.
(14:13):
So what does that signify to you? What does that
signify to you? So I'll go first year this is
it signifies to me? Bing binge watching gone bad, binge
watching gone bad. Meaning let me explain that Jerry was
catching up watching some of the Netflix documentary that's out
(14:34):
there about the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and had a metamorphosis.
He's like, wait a minute, here, the Cowboy cheerleaders were bitching.
They were complaining about how much money they were making.
It's been this way, of course, for fifty years. The
Cowboy cheerleaders have made no money. They're an add on
item for the Cowboys and just absolute chump change. It's
(14:55):
been that way since the beginning. And Jerry Jones says,
decided now to open up the vault, and he's gone
in there. He's dusted off the bank vault and open
it up and all that. After the Netflix sob story
called America's Sweethearts.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I believe that's the name of it. I think that's
the name of it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And the show that featured the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders there
whining about having to work multiple jobs and practicing forty
hours a week for the Cowboy cheerleading squad and doing
it all for pennies on the dollar, pennies on the dollar,
and of course unpopular opinion. Nobody forced you. Nobody forced
(15:42):
you to try out for the Dallas Cowboy cheerleading squad,
and once they told you how much it paid, you
didn't have to continue to do the job. I'm just saying,
but chances are you probably wanted the spotlight. You wanted
the trimmings that come with that job and the photo
shoots and all that stuff and the celebrity that you get. Right,
(16:02):
if you're a Dallas Cowboy cheerlider, that's kind of a
big deal, and people talk about you differently and near
your friends back in high school, like, oh, she's a
Cowboy cheerleader. That's like a big deal. But that doesn't
pay the rent, I don't think until now, and even
now it's it's not that much. But Jerry tried to
downplay the negative vibrations around that story about how cheap
(16:26):
the Cowboys owner was and bad PR, bad PR. And
Jerry likes everyone to say how great he is, and
so he's been dodging lawsuits related to the Cowboy cheerleaders.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
There was a high profile.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Lawsuit while back, and he's looking to cut the lawyers
off of the pass, so we'll pay him more money.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Now another unpopular opinion. If Jerry Jones won, he's just
disbanded the Cowboy cheerier. Cheerleaders are not necessary. You can
have an NFL team without cheerleaders. In fact, they're certainly
a luxury more than a necessity in the NFL. And
it's like a window dressing. It's like a relic from
(17:09):
a different era. In the NFL was a mom and
pop operation, and back in the nineteen seventies, even before that,
but really the nineteen seventies was the heyday for the cheerleaders,
and back in those days when the NFL was owned
by families and not conglomerates.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Although I say this.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
As Jerry Jones is a family ownership group, a family
ownership group. But they were like, hey, man, let's throw
some hot chicks out there, and these trunk losers will
be happy. You know, the team sucks, but they'll look
at the beautiful girls and they'll be happy.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
And so they did. But the times have certainly changed
since then.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
And it's just fluff and it often leads to more losses.
How many cheerleading squads have sued NFL teams? I know
in Washington the team formerly knows the Redskins, there was
a high profile lawsuit. The Cowboys have had a lawsuit.
I believe the Arizona Cardinals have had a lawsuit, and
I'm sure there's others that's just off the top of
my head. But they're not needed and it's more of
(18:09):
a hassle than anything. Now, the Cowboys do find a
way to make money and then there's a little more
glamour there with the Cowboys and other teams. But my
evidence that they're not needed, if I'm not mistaken, twenty
five percent of the NFL doesn't have cheerleaders. Twenty there's
thirty two members of the cartel and twenty five percent.
Eight of the thirty two teams don't have cheerleads. The Bears,
(18:30):
the Packers, the Browns, the Giants, although the Bears do
have Tony in the Bay Air. He is a cheerleader
for the Chicago Bears, but not a formal cheerleader. And
they get the Jets. They don't have the bills. Some
of these teams have had them in past. The Steelers don't.
Even the Chargers, they're able to play their games without
pomp pomps. They're able to do it and it doesn't
(18:50):
seem to affect the bottom line.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Anyway, that's my two cents on that. If you'd like
to be part you can. Probably you're better off just
sending me a message on exce's out and the phones
literally one line open actually is no I mean there's
one line working, which is very odd to me.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
But anyway, I've.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Been here, been away for a couple days, and then
I thought, well, they'd fix the phones, but no they didn't. Anyway,
SALEO on X at Ben Matthew want to give it
a shot on the phones. It probably will not work.
You're wasting your time. At eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. Later on this hour, we'll have Mallardly Third Degree.
We'll also have the Insta Trivia coming up later in
(19:29):

What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
You have a couple of bad days at work?

mallardly third degree, and we'll have the Insta trivia as well.
And since the show started I have received no less
than see here twenty five emails from blind Scott who
was already on the air, was already on the air,
and a disaster.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
What are we having now?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I did see Malard prop guy right in. He says,
another fantastic Hour number two Mallard monologue, and he's got
me as a cheerleader of late night drug tester Rights,
Sin says, I agree that Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders should be
grateful they were getting paid at all. I mean, Jerry
(22:49):
can hardly afford to fully clothe them during the games. Well,
the cost of fabric is extreme. Nick the win Guy
writes that he says, I normally I am normally a baseball fan. However,
I'd watch pom poms over that annoying Taylor Swift any day,
(23:09):
I'd any day.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
All right, what else do we have? Page?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And uh, ferg Dog says, how about the Halo's laying
a beatdown on the Yankees three games in ro row?
Not bad for a ragtag team of misfits. Oh, do
you think we've still got a chance of winning the Pennant? Well,
it depends on how many times do you play the
video game, Ferg Dog, if you reset and go back
(23:34):
to there. No, but the Angels they are six and
oh this season at Dodger Stadium and Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
And what a I was watching this game?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Actually, I usually have a game on in the background,
and I happen to be watching the Yankees Angels game.
And it was awesome because I flashed back watching the
Yankees defense implode, Anthony Volpi a hole in his glove
at shortstop for the Yankees, a defense boo boo for
the Bronx Bombers. And it reminded me of the greatest
(24:03):
defensive playoff ever seen by Yankee. Aaron Judge in center
field fifth inning and Tommy Tanks hits the fly ball
center field and Aaron jar and he butchers the ball
fifth inning floodgates open up, Garrett Cole fails to cover
first base, and Dodgers of the Champions of Baseball because
(24:24):
of the incompetence of the Yankee defense. And it's good
to see that Aaron Boone team still blows on defense.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
And the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You talk about a team having a tough patch there.
I know you didn't ask about that for Doug. You
want to do Angel propaganda. But the New York Yankees
have been getting smoked. Here. I got swept by the
Red Sox over the weekend. Now of the Angels, that's
not a sweep. There's a day game today. But what
is wrong with the New York Yankees have lost for
(24:54):
the eighth time now or six time in a row
and eight time eighteen games. The losing streak though, the
longest since they've lost nine straight and that was back
in August. So the Yankees are having having their problem.
Six straight losses for the mighty New York Yankees, and
(25:16):
there's nobody hitting nobody. Let's go to the phones. We'll
say hello to.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Us, see her any meanie money.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Moo Tony in the Bay Area, Hello, Tony, welcome, Hey man.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Are you cool?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
With Brian.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Now, uh, I don't really know Brian Man. He fills
and he does a good job from what I understand.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, don't. I don't have an issue. Seems like a
good guy.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Why, okay, could you let him know if he goes
on YouTube and types in L seven slob he can
see a guy crying down a slide and rolling around
like a little girl, where he could just type in
David Veasse.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Oh okay, thank you, you're okay. There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So tremendous contribution by Tony in the Bay Area. I'm
so glad we took that call. Alf the Alien, Opie
writes and says, hey, Ben, the Chargers may not have
pom bombs, but they have thundersticks. Just ask Eddie Garcia. Well, yeah,
Eddie's the not. Eddie's wife is really our old buddy
Eddie that used to work here.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Eddie's name outshawfing Ma.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, but I did text Eddie the other day. We
were talking of your text because I at the Dodger game.
Marlin's Man invited me to He's a fan of the show.
As he drives around South Beach clubbing at late at
night there in Miami, and Eddie's name came up, so
I text Eddie and then he wrote back, and we
were going back and forth on that, and it was
(26:39):
it was wonderful. Og Art Puffin writes and says, unlike
the poor Podres, whom by this time tomorrow will fail,
will fall rather by the mop at the hands of
the greatest MLB club to ever exist. Yep, you guessed it,
my Los Angeles Dodgers, says og Art Puffman.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I did see some.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Rhythmic chanting after the Dodgers beat the Padres on a
Will Smith home run.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
There there were.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
People chanting anti San Diego propaganda there as they were
very excited with that late win. After the Dodger bullpen.
What's left of the Dodger bullpen, Blue the lead slot boy,
that Dodger pitching staff. For all the talk that this
team is the greatest pitching staff of all time blah
(27:27):
blah blah blah blah blah blah back in spring training,
and some of the pitchers that they're out, And I like,
I watched baseball every night, I'm watching multiple games. There
are guys on the Dodgers. I have no idea who
they are. I don't know where they came from I
don't know where they're going, and yet doesn't matter. Dodgers
end up winning most of these games. They are seventeen
(27:48):
games above five hundred, and most of that at Dodger Stadium.
That's the twenty fifth comeback win this season for the Dodgers.
First place. They've won five in a row and this
season against the Padres, who lived to beat the Dodgers.
The Padres are one in five against the Doyers this season,
(28:11):
which I'm told is not good. I'm told is not good.
So over the past weekend turned the Patriot at Golf.
But it's not really a golf story. It's just about
what you do when you're having a bad couple of days.
So the US Open was very difficult outside Pittsburgh. Now
I watched a little bit of this. We didn't really
do much on it. I did mention the US Open.
(28:34):
It wasn't really worthy of a.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Full Mallard monologue, I believe.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I talked about ry McElroy and some of the things
he said over the weekend about I don't need to
talk to the media. I've earned the right, you know,
because he's God's gift to golf. So we goofed on
him a little bit. I didn't really talk about the
tournament itself because it really wasn't worthy of a full monologue.
But it was a tough weekend, as it's supposed to
be at the US Open. And after the event, Dan
(29:00):
speF he he said that he was so shaken up.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
By the way that he played and he didn't do
that well and all.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
That stuff, that he went over to Buffalo Wild Wings
and what did he do Abuffal wild Wings?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
He got hammered.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
He he said, I needed to throw a few back,
just that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
So he went over there and let it rip, let
it rip another It was the third major of the
year there at Oakmont, and he's, you know, I just
didn't go so well.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Some guy named JJ Spahn, who I found out from
somebody in San Diego who sent me an email, said
he eight students from San Diego State. Man, Like, how
am I supposed to know where golfers went to college?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Anyway? Uhyah, I'm not that into golf. I'm not. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I don't have a scorecard where they went to college,
nor do I want to know that.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I do not want to know that.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
But anyway, Jordan speed said he was so mentally exhausted
when everything was done, so taken aback by the tremendously
difficult course that he had to go. And uh, you know,
let some let some drinks go unwind and unwind a
little bit, crushed some beers and some wings. And let
me guess, I'm gonna go on on a limb and
(30:16):
say that he's sponsored by Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I don't know that for sure.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
It's possible that it's not the case, but uh, I'm
just going on a limb.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Hears a more.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Likely than not, more likely than not that he's got
some kind of endorsement deal.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Otherwise he would have said Hooters or something else.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
He would have gone some other direction there and and
that's the way that would have gone. Uh, and you
feed me in Chicago, writes and he says, Hey, Mallard,
a plus and a double butterburger with cheese. On the
Mallard monologue at the top of the hour it begin
the show, he says Wall Street is taking over professional sports.
Eventually that will only be conglomerates owning teams. Says you
(30:59):
feed me, Well, if you want an example of that,
now you're in Chicago, ya Feemi, and you go down
to Wrigley Field now and you drive around that area
around the ballpark.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
The Cubs ownership group.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Bought pretty much all of the real estate right around
Wrigley Field now.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I was at Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Many many years ago, and it's been a minute, and
when I had first gone to Wrigley Field, it was
the way it had been since.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
The beginning, right It was just like all these like dive.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Bars and housing and they put seats, crappy seats on
the roof across from Wrigley Field, and it was just
the way it had been and the way I grew
up watching it on WGN, the superstation with Harry Carey
and Steve Stone calling.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Cubs games when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
So I went there and I saw it, and I
was a young guy, as a young adult, I saw
it that way. And then I went back a couple
of years ago and went to Wrigley and it was
like being at Disney Disneyland, like downtown Disney. They had
bought pretty much everything around the ballpark and it just
had this corporate kind of haze and it just lost
(32:04):
all of the feel, if you know what I mean.
You know it's just stuff, you know, corporate stuff takes over.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And it loses that. I don't know what the word.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I'm looking for is, but there's something about that where
you just you don't have the same and they try
to recreate it, like these teams that buy the property
around the ball, but they try to re Like the
Red Sox did the same thing in Boston.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
They bought a lot of the stuff around Finnway.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
And it's a little different there because of the way
the setup is around Finway Park, at least in my
experience when I've been there a few times over the years.
But Wrigley Field just really felt like so corporate, like
it was like over the top corporate. Anyway, it is
the Ben Mallor Show. As we are working a way
through the over night. Now I think we have the
play of the day. I have no idea. I did
(32:49):
not find out what the player it is, so I
don't know what it is. I don't know what sport
is from. I have no idea. So I guess we'll
just say play the play of the day and then
we'll find out what it is.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I have no idea. Nobody told me here we go
hit that button night Smith is a fly ball right
center field. Tutsi's on there on hut the Woodie track
hit the walk un It's gone. Hey, this team is over.

Giambi was six double Will Smith, but Jiambi played a
long time for the Yankees in the A's Jason Giambi
six career pinch it walk off home runs.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, we go.
How about here we go, Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
This is gets grail, all right.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
So the Packers will not be extending the contracts of
Matt Lafleur and g and Brian Gudukunz before the season
team president and policy.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah that's the sounds like his porn name. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
He also said that he is generally opposed to the
head coach and general manager working as lame ducks, so
this would imply that those two will either have extensions
by this time next year or be fired by this
time next year.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Yeah, which do you have your money on? Ben?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
All right, so you go back the Green Bay Packers
since the year two thousand, the year two thousand, I
believe they've had three coaches in the last twenty five years.
That's it. That's all. So there's a weird setup ownership.
I'm gonna go they keep everyone nothing shape in status
quo at lambeau Field that they'll get extensions Lafour unless
(39:06):
he wants to go somewhere else and Gouda kuns Gotta
be careful how you say that?
Speaker 3 (39:09):
In next Jaguars gym James Gladstone said an interview on
Tuesday that Travis hunter stamina is so incredible that he
could play offense and defense for an entire game.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Ben, Do you think we'll get a chance to see that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (39:21):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Jacksonville sucks.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
You might as well play him every single play, play
them on special teams, play them on defense, play them
on offense. Give people a reason to watch a pathetic
team with the overrated Trevor Lawrence, who's been a bust,
who was supposed to be God's gift at the quarterback position,
The flowing locks like Samson, and the guy stinks at quarterbacks,
so why not just play? Play them every play? And
(39:43):
you know that's we have nothing.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Else to watch The Jags fort next.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Lebron James will turn forty one in December, but isn't
prepared to offer a timeline to when he will hang
it up, saying that he will just see how his
body and family reacts.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Ben, what are the chances this is his last season?
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Well, I'll guarantee you Lebron's not just gonna walk away
without a good retirement tour. Everyone kisses his ass, so
you'll know when Lebron's ready to hang it up. Because
he doesn't want to get a rocking chair, bottles of wine,
pieces of arts. He wants everyone to he can bend over,
everyone can kiss his ass on his way out of
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
So he'll announce when he's gonna retire. It's give me
a couple more years. How do we do? He passes?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Does that to win on the board, won the game,
hollering James, that's a winner, James
