Speaker 3 (00:12):
On show, heyl Tani becoming the Dodgers closer that had
been tossed out as a possibility by one former former
star with the Dodgers and the Red Sox. Also speaking
of the Red Sox, the Red Sox using a bot
powered by artificial intelligence to conduct job interviews is blank.
(00:32):
We'll fill in the blank. And what is your reaction
to cubslugger Pete crow Armstrong skipping the home run derby?
Say what, We'll go there as well. All of it
coming your way right now. It's our number three.
Speaker 1 (00:51):

the Ben Malers show made possible in part by our
(01:35):

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Ready for a new job.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Let Express Employment Professionals help all Express helps people in
all industries find work. Our sweet spot is logistics roles
and Express never charges job seekers of fee go to
expresspros dot com. So our lead this hour is from
Baseball Talking Baseball. So the other day we discussed in
(02:00):
a previous episode of this show that sho Hey Otani
was back as a pitcher, and we previewed that leading
into his first game, which was not much of a
performance by Otani. He did return to the mound against
the Pod squad this week in a less than spectacular performance.
(02:22):
You would not know that if you watched the breathless
media coverage of Otani and his performance. He went one inning,
allowed one run through twenty eight pitches and was laboring.
He was rusty, he had command issues and whatnot. Again,
the media's coverage of this was over the top, just
licked the boot licking media coverage. You just can't He's
(02:45):
a hero. You can't say anything bad about Otani. He
didn't look that good to me. It didn't look that
good to me in that out He was first first
chance and all that. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So now a.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Pitching legend, a Hall of Famer, has chimed in on
what the Dodgers should do with Otani.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Do you see this talking about Pedro Martinez.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Who was a Dodger and then as the great Tommy
the SWORDA told me may rest in peace. That the
Dodgers consulted with doctor Frank Job, the guy that had
the Tommy He came up with the Tommy John surgery,
and they were deciding whether to trade Pedro Martinez or
Ramone Martinez. And because Ramon Martinez was bigger, they decided
(03:27):
that he was likely going to last longer and Ramone
Martinez would not last, or trade Ramone or trade to
Pedro Martinez rather, and how did that work out? Not well,
but they didn't get the line on the shields. That
sucked as a Dodger, so it was great trade years
ago anyway, So Pedro Martinez has chimed in. He has
commented on what the Dodger should do. And Pedro wants
Schoey Otani to transition to not that transitioned to become
(03:51):
a relief pitcher. He says, you know, saving thirty games
in an MLB season just kind of go through that
be a back end of the bl pitcher for the Doyers,
the Red Sox Hall of Fame pitcher Pedro Martinez noting
that Otani He's not just gonna settle to be good.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He wants greatness.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
He's striving for greatness and he believes the Dodgers Otani
can reach that can be great. If he stays away
from starting pitching, it becomes a relief pitcher. He says, quote,
I would love to preserve Otani being a two way player.
But in order for him to do that, Pedro Martinez said,
(04:33):
he cannot be a starter, not that he cannot do
it for maybe one year or two years longer or
Pedro said. He also said I would love to see
him have a long career as Otani's pitching and hitting,
and he mentioned being a relief pitcher. Okay, so let
(04:53):
us discuss the question are you gonna go yay ornee
thumbs up, thumbs down, yay Ornee. On show Hey Otan
becoming the Dodgers closer as recommended by Pedro Martinez. So
I've got on this one Harmonica Space Odyssey and Faupo
and we will combine all of these things together, and
(05:15):
we are going to create the Holy Grail of sports takes.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Is what we're going to do. That's right, the Holy Grail.
All right.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So first of all on this one, I'm going thumbs down.
I'm going thumbs down and tell me you don't know
the rules. Without telling me you don't know the rules.
In order for Otani to become a closer, major League
Baseball would have to change the rule book. Now they've
done it before, they've done it before, they would have
(05:42):
to do it again. Here's why O'tani. His superpower is
hitting home runs.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
He's one of the.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Great offensive players we have seen in baseball. He is
tremendous as a power hitter, and he's been proving that
a year after years, certainly with the Dodge he won
an MVP Award in Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He is less desirable as a pitcher now he was okay.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
With the Angels, and who knows we will ever even
get back to being that since he's had the major
arm injury. He's had a couple of injuries to the
arm and all that stuff. But major League Baseball, the
issue is the rules. Major League Baseball. I know they
don't usually follow the rules in baseball, like Rob Manford
let the Astros cheat and didn't punish him. So Rob
Manford is not a big rules guy. But there is
(06:28):
a rule in there that would have to be adjudicated
to accommodate Otani, the so called shohy Otani rule that
was added when he was in Anaheim years ago. It states,
if I read it correctly, as I understand it, that
if a team has a starting pitcher in its everyday
lineup as the designated hitter, they can remain in the
(06:51):
game as a hitter. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. It does
not work if you're coming in as a reliever.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It does. It's not the same thing. It doesn't work
that way.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
So, as I understand it, meaning that if Otani comes in,
and let's say he comes in, there's a one run lead,
it's the ninth inning and they're a Dodgers stadium, they're
playing the Giants, and there's a home run by somebody
for the Giants, and then the Giants tie the game,
but they don't take the lead, and then the Dodgers
have to come up. Otani would seemingly come out of
(07:23):
the game because they bring in somebody else to pitch,
Otani would be out of the game, and then that's it.
He'd be taking out and they would lose his bat.
No bueno for Otani. And as a starting pitcher, he's
gonna pitch once every six or seven days, and he'll
(07:45):
go no more than five innings out of an abundance
of caution.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Out of an abundance of caution, that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And so eventually he'll let him start it, and then
eventually he'll settle in. In terms of an offensive player,
he'll just be the war daddy, maybe a designated hitter.
You can play till you're forty five years old if
you want, if your.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Body doesn't fall apart, you can do it.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
And so just get out the harmonica, if you will,
and channel Huey Lewis and the news.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And we're not here for a long time. We're here
for a good time.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
So Tony wants to start, he can start and hit
home runs, and then eventually he won't be able to
start anymore, and then he'll just hit home runs and
then that'll be that, and then they'll fade away and
somebody else will come along. And that's just the way
it works. It's called the circle of life in sports,
just like anything else. Now, secondly, we go to Boston.
I saw this story. Immediately my eyeballs like by huge
(08:36):
the size of the moon. I thought this was a
satire story. When I saw it, I said, well, this
must be the work of the Onion or butt Crack
Sports or the Babylon.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Bee or sports Talk Barrier, of the.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Great satire satire sites. Even there's there's a good Twitter
slash x account. There's a the parody account setire account
called Talking Baseball, and they've become very good. So I
thought it was one of those. And then I read
it again, and I read it again, and I read
it again. I saw this when I woke up, and
I was kind of blurry and I thought, well, maybe
I'm blurry eyed, and that's not really it. It must be
(09:13):
I must be seeing things.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Apparently it's true.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
So I was reading and I've doubled checked this the
discount double check that a candidate who pursued a position
in the Red Sox organization, one in the front office,
had not one, not two, not three, not four, but
five rounds of interviews with a bot, not a human,
(09:36):
not a human, a bot, a robot a bot powered
by artificial intelligence. The person never spoke to an actual
human being despite interviewing with a multi billion dollar professional
sports franchise, the Boston Red Sox. They are handling their
interview process, at least for this job, if the report
is accurate with a bot powered by AI. Okay, the
(10:01):
candidate says, they also interviewed for positions with the Padres
and the Dodgers, which shocking. We had real human beings,
not bots while they were looking to hire said individual.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So the question for the ES theme panel, which you
were part of the.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Boston Red Sox and the once proud Red Sox using
a bot powered by artificial intelligence sounds like a fake
story to conduct job interviews is blank? Fill in the blank.
So I will take the first stab at filling in
the blank. This is a space odyssey, is what it is.
It's a space odyssey. It's one thing to say, hey,
(10:40):
what don't we have will streamline this, we'll have the
AI handle this. But it's another thing to actually do it.
It's like they brought in how nine thousand good old,
how to do the hiring trust? The supercomputer? What in
the web? Like what in the Red Sox they're gonna
(11:01):
win some kind of award at these Sloans Sports Analytical
NERD conference there in Boston.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yet again, you human beings are the problem. Get rid
of these humans.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Unfortunately an AI bot and we're not sure exactly what
the Red Sox were using, but anything in general, it's
only as good as the data that is fed to
it by a human being. But to be that lazy
that you can't even bother to conduct on the human
side of things, a job interview, and I was reading
(11:32):
about it is, I guest some other businesses are doing this,
but what is going on? Like, seriously, what are you doing?
And the bot analyzed the job candidates, supposedly the voice pitch,
the heart rate, all that stuff, And I'm sure they
probably wondered, are they documented? How many times do they
use certain buzzwords? You know, certain buzzwords you're supposed to
(11:53):
use in interviews, And you know, do you say data
or you say data? And how many times you say that?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Is that enough?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And did you talk about spin rate and all this
other thing? Now if you answer wrong, if you don't
get it right, then that obviously becomes a problem and
the robot voice will come on there and say does
not compute next candidate, and.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You know that's it. You're done.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
And I'd be very worried if I was Out's court,
because if the Red Sox are going this direction and
they're just gonna have AI do job interviews and all that,
the next logical step would be to have a roomba
manage the team. Right, they just have a roomba, and
that's like a bot type thing, like a robot. Just
have the room, but go out to the mound and
(12:38):
make pitching changes and all that. You save some money,
put a nice little Red Sox like a uniform kind
of thing on the rumba, and you be on your way. Now,
final thought, we go to Chicago, where the breakout star
of the twenty twenty five baseball season, Pete crow Armstrong,
has checked in. He's an outfielder, the son of some
(12:58):
actors in Hollywood. So Pete crow Armstrong, who has been
a revelation for Chicago cub nation, much to the joy
of Eugenie in Chicago and Uphemi and the other guys.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
In the Windy City. So Pete crow Armstrong, he's been great.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Just do not expect to see him in the home
run derby on the national stage, the biggest event of
All Star Week.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Why oh? He was asked.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
He was asked whether he had any intention to participate
in the spectacle that is the home run Derby, and
crowl Armstrong.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Boldly stated no. He said no.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He said that he is not an event for him. Let' see,
he's a home run hitter, he's a baseball player, but
the event is not for him. Said he would take
the time off to recharge and focus on the actual
All Star event. Pete krow Armstrong said, okay, so what
is your reaction on what is your reaction to the
(13:59):
Cubs a breakout star here, slugger Pete crow Armstrong skipping
rejecting the home run derby. So I'll go first here
because the phones.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Are all broken, you know, I'll go first.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
And probably second, likely third, maybe even fourth, possibly fifth,
like a Red Sox job interview. So Pete crow Armstrong
is the conductor who's on the trendy train. Yeah, that's
the trendy train, right, That's the sound it makes, and
I get it. Major League baseball stars for years and
(14:32):
years have treated the home run derby like a nuisance.
It is the same way that the NBA stars treat
the slam Dunk Contest, they treat it the same.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
For baseball.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
It's the home run Derby, and that's the big event,
and it's got cooties, and you don't want cooties, and
so you avoid it at all costs. You avoid the
cooties at all costs. Many Major League Baseball players, many
of them, have no problem thumbing their nose at this
event because it's for the fans. And screwed the fans.
We don't care about the people who pay the salary.
(15:07):
You're just a bunch of morons. Go have another beer.
You're a Joe Broni.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Get out of here. We're good.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
We don't need to be in your stupid home run
Derby and all that stuff. Now, it's just a couple
of rounds of batting practice, that's all it is. It's
really about being there. It's not about winning it. It's
about being there. But after a minutes long malleor investigation
into why this continues to be an issue, we have
come to a verdict on this, and the verdict is in.
(15:35):
We're ready to read the verdict to you. So the
verdict on why so many of these players Pete crow
Armstrong the latest here. It is a case of fopo.
That's what it is, right, fear of other people's opinions.
Meaning if you go out there as a klutz in
the home run derby and you don't hit any home runs,
or you popping up, or you're striking out and all
(15:56):
that stuff, you are.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Going to be slayed.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Were going to be destroyed on the micro blogging platforms,
on the echo Chamber and the matrix on social media.
So Pete crow Armstrong doesn't want to deal with the trolls.
If he should suck at a time you cannot suck.
So rather than have that competitive spirit, he's gonna tap out.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Aaron Judge has been dodging the home.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Runder, but he didn't win it in twenty seventeen, but
ever since then he's dodged it. It's not worth his
time and he'll only enter it if it's in Yankee
Stadium when the All Star Game comes back to the
Yankee Stadium, and that's it. And of course I'm sure
the fans are very concerned about Aaron Judge and his
preferences for geography.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
They're very worried about that.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
They're happy for him, but Pete Crow Armstrong he's not
doing it. His teammate Kyle Tucker also saying, I ain't
doing it. I don't want any part in the Dinger
Dinger Delight, nothing to do with that. And for the
guy skipping the home runner, like, listen, you can do it.
If you don't, I can rip you. You cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's fine. Just don't please don't tell me you're.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Skipping the home run derby because you're focusing on the
second half of the season, which is often I don't
I just want I don't want to get messed up,
but I would just don't tell me that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's the lamest of the lame. You're such a lame
brain if you say that. Just admit.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Hey, if you're saying that you're a kitty cat and
what kind of you're not a Persian cat. You're a
scaredy cat, is what you are. That's what you are, period,
hard stop. That's it, all right. It is the Yes,
there's a sound of the of the kitty cat, the
scaredy cat. It is the Ban Mather Show, and we
are pressing on later this hour. We have asked Ben,

X on X, and we may may use your question
on the air if it's good. If not, we'll just
pretend it didn't happen. Time now though, for the malor
really you can try call him. The phones are all
(18:03):
all left up. The phones are all messed up. I've
been fixed. It's been been down for about a week.
But if you want to try, one out of every
hundred calls gets in, so there's only one line that's working.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
We've determined on the overnight. You can try it at
eight seven, seven ninety nine one Fox Time.
Speaker 3 (18:20):

Prince Harry and Megan markle As a home there in
Montecito near Santa Barbara, Troy Aikman says he hasn't socialized
(18:42):
with the Royals because of blank Again. Former Dallas Cowboy
longtime NFL commentator Troy Aikman says, even though he has
a home in Montecito in near Santa Barbara.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
There where the royals are.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
His neighbors, Prince Harry and Megan Markle. He hasn't socialized
with them because of blank. That is the Malor riddle
of the day. The answer, We'll get to it and
we will do it.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Back to it, right, so we go, And here is
the mallor riddle of the day.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
NFL commentator and former Cowboy Troy Aikman says, even though
he has royal neighbors Prince Harry and Megan Markle at
one of the many homes Akment owns in Montecito, California,
near Santa Barbara, he hasn't socialized with them because of blank.
Because of blank, that is the.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Malor riddle of the day. And what is the iNTS
Let's see, is anyone know the antswer?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
We go to the hoy ploy Malard prop guy says
because Prince Harry and Megan Markle's involvement at the No
King's protest last weekend? All right, ferg Dog says because
of the language barrier. Late night drug tester says hasn't
found Aikman hasn't found the right crumpet recipe, clearly. Donkey
(21:19):
Sausage says they have their own Diddy Frea cough parties
without inviting him. He says, alf the Alien Miner says
that he's.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Afraid to meet them.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Aikman is because of the extreme flatulence problem that they have. Well,
it is an issue in the royal family. That's one
of the problems. There's some sound of a royal royal
meet and greet. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says, because Aikman
hates the fish and Chips can't stand him. Fudgie in
Boston says the answer to the Malley riddle because he
(21:54):
gets flashbacks of Jerry Jones wearing his crown to work.
Ocho x O Keith says, because he's having an affair
with Meghan Markle. That that is. That is why what
else do we have a page down? Let's see kn't
read that on the air. Mister irrigation checking in Inca
(22:15):
Terror says it's four roh fear of royal opinion. Fear
of royal opinion. And Johnny Q says the answer is
because they're cheerleaders. That's why Sean and Portland says they're trash.
Mike the Leprechaun is awake. He says Aikman is allergic
(22:37):
to people with red hair. That that is the answer.
Popeye for some reason just tossed out Richard Simmons.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
As the answer.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
All right, the riddle of today one more time, one
more time, Malat Riddle of the Day. NFL commentator Troy
Aikman says, even though he has royal neighbors in Montecito,
one of the homes he owns here Santa Barbara, Prince Harry,
and Meghan Markle, he is not socialized with the royals
because of blank Lorena.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Because of the moat around their house.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Spend that would be a problem if they have a
moat that is incorrect, not allowed.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No moat's allowed in Montecito.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
The correct answer, Troy Aikman says, even though he has
royal neighbors Prince Harry and Megan Markle, he has not
socialized with them because, as he said, I don't think
they're drinking much light beer.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Troy Aikman says, So that's the stein, but the Royals
don't drink light beer.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
I'm sure she loves a good michelob Ultra.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Well, the see Aikman's pitching.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
He's pouring himself out for some light beer, which he's
not paying us to promote. He can buy a commercial
if he wants on Fox Sports Radio and we'll promote it,
but that was why Aikman said that.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But he does. He lives there.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
So you go, that's where all the wealthy people. You
really want to see rich people. People say, I'll go
to la and go to Hollywood, go to Monacito, go
to like a Whole Foods in.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Monacito and wander around. That's they're all.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Buying their tomatoes and their oranges and their onions and
all all that. They're at that Whole Foods there do
their own shopping. Because I don't know if they do
their own shopping, you're not. I'm assuming some of them do.
I know right here where we work in La and
Sherman Oaks, the Whole Foods here, they the people that
live up in the hills here in bell Air, they
come down they do their grocery shop.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I would be such a stalker if I was a
personal shopper and like, you know, you got some big
name Jennifer Lopez wants you to pick up beans from
the store.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
What kind of beans? Would fancy beans?
Speaker 6 (24:25):
Obvious?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Magic beans?
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Yeah, they might have gold flakes in them for all
I know.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Or they just eat regular food like the rest of us,
and they just happen to be very lucky in one
way or another. Anyway, we do have ask men coming
up in a little bit. Let's go to the phones.
One line is literally working and the phone not the phone.
That's right, the phone is in that Jola, My god,
you beat the odds, Joel. How many times did you
(24:51):
call in?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Hey? That's wonderful. Man had to catch up. Which I
miss you the other day? Hey, Florina, how everything's good?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
But no, look out happy? You're so happy.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Every time I hear your voice, you sound happier than
the last time I talked.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
That's what life is about, Doc. Things can get you down,
but you can't down. It sucks sometimes. I know I'm
not here down. I'm going through it. But hey, I
love the baseball talk.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I was.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
I called into uh to the Rob Parker show the
other day. I was down on him for talking about baseball.
You know, I had to get after him. But hey,
I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You were down, Rob, Rob love space? But was he
not talking about it?
Speaker 8 (25:26):
I know I had to get after him.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Okay, he was.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
He was. He was pushing back on the basketball stuff.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
You know, he was talking about the you know, the
final time to push back on you that one day.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
Y'all y'all were, But no, I'm here to talk about
the Boston Red Sox. What allows the organization?
Speaker 10 (25:42):
When I heard this deal, about the Ai deal, it
explains the ruff y'all devers. It explains why they had
Mookie Betts and they traded him a way. Who wants
to play for the Boston Red Sox. What a terrible
city to play baseball there?
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Look at the Yankees.
Speaker 10 (25:57):
They'll get you a player.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
They'll go get Alon Soto.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
Uh my guy with the with the small what's his name?
Speaker 9 (26:05):
The black dude, he's pretty swaggy, chastism.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
You know, we're master trying to play for Boston.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
The only thing that's Boston is known for the Boston
tea party.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
We love that.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
They sold the American to stand up.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
Exactly and then we loved Boston, you know, lost the role.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
But if it's the same franchise that had what's his name?
God dang what bab Yes, they had get him away?
Didn't they have Mookie best to trade him away?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
They did?
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Listen, this is right, this is what tops it all.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Comped it all off that nasty green wall who wants
to go play for that team, and you got to
hit over that dusty wall. If they take that walk
out and they you know, they talk about making money,
they can't even put people in front of the people
they're interviewing to work for the company. If they want
to make so much money, they should take that nasty
wall out and fill that up with about what that's
(26:59):
about eight hundred seat right there.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah, well, if they did put like season, they put
seas on top of it.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
But you're you're unloading. You are unloading here, Joe.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
I had to. I told too, Coop, I was gonna
go crazy. I'm from Texas, you know, I'm born in
nineteen ninety six. I love baseball. I've been to all
times of baseball. Statum, I've never been. I'll never go
to Boss because of the way they are that ideal.
And then all of a sudden, these rich time dude,
you know, these rich dudes in Boston. We're not even
going to interview a person. We're gonna give him an
a ideal. What is that?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
That's pretty lame, man, It is so late.
Speaker 9 (27:30):
They say, devras off Man, happy Devers last and went
to a good organization.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
I've never played for Boston.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
If I was a good all right, there you go.
You feel better now that's there for you.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Yes, good after. I love that, molll But you're my
god man, all right, buddy, Joey.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Hey you unloaded. Man.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
People upset right now, they're really they're double pissed because
they're upset with you, and they can't call in because
the phones are all fed up so over.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Boston they can put back.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah, all right, well they get they can't get in though.
There's one line that literally one line is worried.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But anyway, A right, Well, thank you, Joel.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I got a tremendous job there, smiling while he attacked you, right,
smiling while he was throwing haymakers and dropping atomic elbows.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
On top of your head.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Jola in Dallas, Now Josh in Nebraska is a Chicago
sports fan.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
He's very upset.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
He says, I did Pete crow Armstrong dirty because I
didn't finish the quote, saying that he would participate when
he was older. Well, Josh, I don't care if I'm
gonna do it when I'm older. That's that's a kin
to like Aaron Judge said, Well, if it's a Yankee stadium,
I'll do it. Now I'm worried about the All Star
Game this year. I do the show today. We're worried
about this year's All Star Game. And Pete Crow Armstrong,
(28:43):
trust me, He's not going to be the revelation of
Baseball Nation year after year. This is a special season
for this outfielder for the Cubs. This is a magic
carpet ride.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
This is his year. And he didn't want to pardon it.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
He didn't want to know he ret revert back to
being a mediocre or average outfielder. And this is a
career year. It would appear for Pete Crow Armstrong and
the fans want to see him in the All Star
Game and Home Run Derby, and you don't want to
do it. So that's what I'm worried about, is, Oh,
(29:17):
I'll do it five years from now or who cares.
I'm not worried about that. I'll worry about that when
i have to do that show. Then I'll worry about that.
I'm doing the show tonight, and that's what I'm worried about.
And this is a guy that is on pace to
hit forty two home runs and driving one hundred and
twenty nine runs for the Chicago Cubs, Pete Crow Armstrong
(29:38):
PCA right, that's a lot of dingers. He's from right
here where we do the show from. And he's ah,
I can't be in the home run Derby. Can't do it,
cannot do it. Not gonna happen anyway. It is the
Ben Malor Show. As we are working our way through
the overnight, and we have a new great thing, hope
(30:01):
that I am hopeful will make an NFL team, the
football team that plays in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
They claim to be from New York. The Jets have.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Signed Harrison MeVis. Does that name ring a bell? Do
you know who Harrison MeVis?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You do not?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Well, I didn't know who he was either, but I
saw these clips. He played college football at Missouri Missou
from twenty twenty to twenty twenty three. He was in
the UFL last season. His nickname is the Thicker Kicker.
He's fat and he's a kicker. Yeah, he's known as
the Thicker Kicker. He's got the dad body going on,
(30:43):
but he's a young guy. He's listed at two hundred
and fifty pounds. He looks like he's heavier than that.
And the Thicker Kicker is with the Jets. Now we
don't know if he's gonna make the team or not.
He's six foot like two point fifty and was very
good at kicking field goals and whatnot in the Southeastern Conference,
(31:06):
and he's going to try to latch on to the Jets,
and we are pulling for him. We need more great
fat athletes, is what we need, and we don't have
many of them right now. So Harrison MeVis number ninety
two at MISSOO back in the day. We are pulling
for him to have success with Gag Green, that would
(31:28):
be absolutely wonderful. Al Right, it is the Ben Malor Show.
As we are working our way through the overnight. Straight ahead,
we are going to have ask Ben. Your questions are answers.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Oh, there you go. We've never hear from Ferg Dog.
We don't.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
He wants to know. Are you able to watch an
entire movie without checking your phone?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah? You know I can do that.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I mean, if it's a good movie, the movie sucks,
I'm going on my phone. I will absolutely go to
my phone. But if I'm engaged in the movie, yeah,
like old school movies, I don't really nothing these days.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I get my attention that one.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
What about you, Lorena, movie theaters know in my house, Yes,
especially if there's a dull moment, keep my attention.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Wait wait wait, so you mean yes and no if
you switch that around.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
So I had the movie theater. Not in the theater,
you will not check your phone.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
But on a regular movie, yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
I'm the same way. I can. I can go a
whole movie without checking my phone if I'm in the theater,
but at home I'm picking up my phone.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Well, my problem in theater is a boring movie, I
fall asleep I'm gone. It's a dark room, comfortable seat,
air conditioned, I'm sleeping, all right, what's next?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
What are we ever to ask?
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Man?
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Your questions are answers Bobby in Florida. Hi, Bobby, you'd
like to know now that the summer heat is here?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (34:35):
Would you rather cool off in the ocean, a lake
or a pool?
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:40):
So I'm a big pool guy. There's not really a
lake that I go to.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
I've only been to a lake a few times.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Ocean's okay. I don't really like the ocean around here
because it's polluted, So I guess I'll go pool Lorena.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
Yeah, any of those, as long as it's not a river.
I don't like super fast running water like that. I'm
not a strong, strunk swimmer.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Did you have a lake in Oregon when you were
growing up.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
Yeah, we had a couple of them, but you weren't
supposed to swim in them. One of them had a
really high mercury content.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Lakes are kind of disgusting, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Because they're sitting water. Yeah, gotcha cool.
Speaker 6 (35:14):
I'll be totally honest. I'm not a fan of like
any of them, but I would pick pool over at
the other two.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
More of an air conditioner type of guy.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Huh yeah, nice tropical.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I got a nice exotic luxury pool though with fountains. Yeah,
that's nice resort. Yeah, so way to go. I walk
around the beaches here and I get oil on my feet.
I can't imagine what's in the water. If I'm getting
oil my feet from the sand. What is next door?
Do we have here?
Speaker 6 (35:40):
Late night drug tester, high, Late night drug Tester, You
would like to know in honor of National Clean your
Aquarium Day? Yes, have you ever had pet fish?
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Well?
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Technically yes, although reality no, there were a few times that,
Like the little community fair thing that we had when
I was up, I won a goldfish and we had
a little tank and that, you know, typical story, cliche story.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
The goldfish lasted about a day and then that was
it died.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
So in my head I had a fish and aquarium
and I have been to the pet store and they
look amazing. Those aquariums are awesome. And what was that
show on Discovery Channel or one of those they did
they build really? Yeah, the guys in Vegas, but they're
from New York and they build these crazy. That's a
good show. That's something you do if you're.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Really really rich And I'm not really really rich, so no,
what about you, Lorraina.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
As a kid, I remember having one, but it might
have been a dream.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
A dream. Yeah, you dream about a fish tank.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
Really, I'm pretty sure we had one, though.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Did you ever have goldfish? I had goldfish. I think
I give them a little plastic bags when I was
a kid, and one of them and then they were.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Dead within two I just remember the fish that suck
on the walls. Is that what they sound like?
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Okay, oh Coop, what about you?
Speaker 6 (36:59):
Yes, a child, at my family home, we had a
We had two fish tanks, one the downstairs one was
a regular fresh water tank and the upstairs was a salt.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Water tank and who cleaned them?
Speaker 6 (37:13):
We got sucker fish so that they would clean the tank.

On show, heyl Tani becoming the Dodgers closer that had
been tossed out as a possibility by one former former
star with the Dodgers and the Red Sox. Also speaking
of the Red Sox, the Red Sox using a bot
powered by artificial intelligence to conduct job interviews is blank.
(00:32):
We'll fill in the blank. And what is your reaction
to cubslugger Pete crow Armstrong skipping the home run derby?
Say what, We'll go there as well. All of it

Let Express Employment Professionals help all Express helps people in

and Express never charges job seekers of fee go to
expresspros dot com. So our lead this hour is from
Baseball Talking Baseball. So the other day we discussed in
(02:00):
a previous episode of this show that sho Hey Otani
was back as a pitcher, and we previewed that leading
into his first game, which was not much of a
performance by Otani. He did return to the mound against
the Pod squad this week in a less than spectacular performance.
(02:22):
You would not know that if you watched the breathless
media coverage of Otani and his performance. He went one inning,
allowed one run through twenty eight pitches and was laboring.
He was rusty, he had command issues and whatnot. Again,
the media's coverage of this was over the top, just
licked the boot licking media coverage. You just can't He's
(02:45):
a hero. You can't say anything bad about Otani. He
didn't look that good to me. It didn't look that
good to me in that out He was first first
chance and all that. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So now a.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Pitching legend, a Hall of Famer, has chimed in on
what the Dodgers should do with Otani.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Do you see this talking about Pedro Martinez.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Who was a Dodger and then as the great Tommy
the SWORDA told me may rest in peace. That the
Dodgers consulted with doctor Frank Job, the guy that had
the Tommy He came up with the Tommy John surgery,
and they were deciding whether to trade Pedro Martinez or
Ramone Martinez. And because Ramon Martinez was bigger, they decided
(03:27):
that he was likely going to last longer and Ramone
Martinez would not last, or trade Ramone or trade to
Pedro Martinez rather, and how did that work out? Not well,
but they didn't get the line on the shields. That
sucked as a Dodger, so it was great trade years
ago anyway, So Pedro Martinez has chimed in. He has
commented on what the Dodger should do. And Pedro wants
Schoey Otani to transition to not that transitioned to become
(03:51):
a relief pitcher. He says, you know, saving thirty games
in an MLB season just kind of go through that
be a back end of the bl pitcher for the Doyers,
the Red Sox Hall of Fame pitcher Pedro Martinez noting
that Otani He's not just gonna settle to be good.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He wants greatness.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
He's striving for greatness and he believes the Dodgers Otani
can reach that can be great. If he stays away
from starting pitching, it becomes a relief pitcher. He says, quote,
I would love to preserve Otani being a two way player.
But in order for him to do that, Pedro Martinez said,
(04:33):
he cannot be a starter, not that he cannot do
it for maybe one year or two years longer or
Pedro said. He also said I would love to see
him have a long career as Otani's pitching and hitting,
and he mentioned being a relief pitcher. Okay, so let
(04:53):
us discuss the question are you gonna go yay ornee
thumbs up, thumbs down, yay Ornee. On show Hey Otan
becoming the Dodgers closer as recommended by Pedro Martinez. So
I've got on this one Harmonica Space Odyssey and Faupo
and we will combine all of these things together, and
(05:15):
we are going to create the Holy Grail of sports takes.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Is what we're going to do. That's right, the Holy Grail.
All right.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So first of all on this one, I'm going thumbs down.
I'm going thumbs down and tell me you don't know
the rules. Without telling me you don't know the rules.
In order for Otani to become a closer, major League
Baseball would have to change the rule book. Now they've
done it before, they've done it before, they would have
(05:42):
to do it again. Here's why O'tani. His superpower is
hitting home runs.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
He's one of the.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Great offensive players we have seen in baseball. He is
tremendous as a power hitter, and he's been proving that
a year after years, certainly with the Dodge he won
an MVP Award in Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He is less desirable as a pitcher now he was okay.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
With the Angels, and who knows we will ever even
get back to being that since he's had the major
arm injury. He's had a couple of injuries to the
arm and all that stuff. But major League Baseball, the
issue is the rules. Major League Baseball. I know they
don't usually follow the rules in baseball, like Rob Manford
let the Astros cheat and didn't punish him. So Rob
Manford is not a big rules guy. But there is
(06:28):
a rule in there that would have to be adjudicated
to accommodate Otani, the so called shohy Otani rule that
was added when he was in Anaheim years ago. It states,
if I read it correctly, as I understand it, that
if a team has a starting pitcher in its everyday
lineup as the designated hitter, they can remain in the
(06:51):
game as a hitter. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. It does
not work if you're coming in as a reliever.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It does. It's not the same thing. It doesn't work
that way.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
So, as I understand it, meaning that if Otani comes in,
and let's say he comes in, there's a one run lead,
it's the ninth inning and they're a Dodgers stadium, they're
playing the Giants, and there's a home run by somebody
for the Giants, and then the Giants tie the game,
but they don't take the lead, and then the Dodgers
have to come up. Otani would seemingly come out of
(07:23):
the game because they bring in somebody else to pitch,
Otani would be out of the game, and then that's it.
He'd be taking out and they would lose his bat.
No bueno for Otani. And as a starting pitcher, he's
gonna pitch once every six or seven days, and he'll
(07:45):
go no more than five innings out of an abundance
of caution.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Out of an abundance of caution, that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And so eventually he'll let him start it, and then
eventually he'll settle in. In terms of an offensive player,
he'll just be the war daddy, maybe a designated hitter.
You can play till you're forty five years old if
you want, if your.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Body doesn't fall apart, you can do it.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
And so just get out the harmonica, if you will,
and channel Huey Lewis and the news.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And we're not here for a long time. We're here
for a good time.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
So Tony wants to start, he can start and hit
home runs, and then eventually he won't be able to
start anymore, and then he'll just hit home runs and
then that'll be that, and then they'll fade away and
somebody else will come along. And that's just the way
it works. It's called the circle of life in sports,
just like anything else. Now, secondly, we go to Boston.
I saw this story. Immediately my eyeballs like by huge
(08:36):
the size of the moon. I thought this was a
satire story. When I saw it, I said, well, this
must be the work of the Onion or butt Crack
Sports or the Babylon.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Bee or sports Talk Barrier, of the.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Great satire satire sites. Even there's there's a good Twitter
slash x account. There's a the parody account setire account
called Talking Baseball, and they've become very good. So I
thought it was one of those. And then I read
it again, and I read it again, and I read
it again. I saw this when I woke up, and
I was kind of blurry and I thought, well, maybe
I'm blurry eyed, and that's not really it. It must be
(09:13):
I must be seeing things.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Apparently it's true.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
So I was reading and I've doubled checked this the
discount double check that a candidate who pursued a position
in the Red Sox organization, one in the front office,
had not one, not two, not three, not four, but
five rounds of interviews with a bot, not a human,
(09:36):
not a human, a bot, a robot a bot powered
by artificial intelligence. The person never spoke to an actual
human being despite interviewing with a multi billion dollar professional
sports franchise, the Boston Red Sox. They are handling their
interview process, at least for this job, if the report
is accurate with a bot powered by AI. Okay, the
(10:01):
candidate says, they also interviewed for positions with the Padres
and the Dodgers, which shocking. We had real human beings,
not bots while they were looking to hire said individual.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So the question for the ES theme panel, which you
were part of the.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Boston Red Sox and the once proud Red Sox using
a bot powered by artificial intelligence sounds like a fake
story to conduct job interviews is blank? Fill in the blank.
So I will take the first stab at filling in
the blank. This is a space odyssey, is what it is.
It's a space odyssey. It's one thing to say, hey,
(10:40):
what don't we have will streamline this, we'll have the
AI handle this. But it's another thing to actually do it.
It's like they brought in how nine thousand good old,
how to do the hiring trust? The supercomputer? What in
the web? Like what in the Red Sox they're gonna
(11:01):
win some kind of award at these Sloans Sports Analytical
NERD conference there in Boston.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yet again, you human beings are the problem. Get rid
of these humans.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Unfortunately an AI bot and we're not sure exactly what
the Red Sox were using, but anything in general, it's
only as good as the data that is fed to
it by a human being. But to be that lazy
that you can't even bother to conduct on the human
side of things, a job interview, and I was reading
(11:32):
about it is, I guest some other businesses are doing this,
but what is going on? Like, seriously, what are you doing?
And the bot analyzed the job candidates, supposedly the voice pitch,
the heart rate, all that stuff, And I'm sure they
probably wondered, are they documented? How many times do they
use certain buzzwords? You know, certain buzzwords you're supposed to
(11:53):
use in interviews, And you know, do you say data
or you say data? And how many times you say that?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Is that enough?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And did you talk about spin rate and all this
other thing? Now if you answer wrong, if you don't
get it right, then that obviously becomes a problem and
the robot voice will come on there and say does
not compute next candidate, and.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You know that's it. You're done.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
And I'd be very worried if I was Out's court,
because if the Red Sox are going this direction and
they're just gonna have AI do job interviews and all that,
the next logical step would be to have a roomba
manage the team. Right, they just have a roomba, and
that's like a bot type thing, like a robot. Just
have the room, but go out to the mound and
(12:38):
make pitching changes and all that. You save some money,
put a nice little Red Sox like a uniform kind
of thing on the rumba, and you be on your way. Now,
final thought, we go to Chicago, where the breakout star
of the twenty twenty five baseball season, Pete crow Armstrong,
has checked in. He's an outfielder, the son of some
(12:58):
actors in Hollywood. So Pete crow Armstrong, who has been
a revelation for Chicago cub nation, much to the joy
of Eugenie in Chicago and Uphemi and the other guys.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
In the Windy City. So Pete crow Armstrong, he's been great.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Just do not expect to see him in the home
run derby on the national stage, the biggest event of
All Star Week.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Why oh? He was asked.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
He was asked whether he had any intention to participate
in the spectacle that is the home run Derby, and
crowl Armstrong.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Boldly stated no. He said no.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He said that he is not an event for him. Let' see,
he's a home run hitter, he's a baseball player, but
the event is not for him. Said he would take
the time off to recharge and focus on the actual
All Star event. Pete krow Armstrong said, okay, so what
is your reaction on what is your reaction to the
(13:59):
Cubs a breakout star here, slugger Pete crow Armstrong skipping
rejecting the home run derby. So I'll go first here
because the phones.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Are all broken, you know, I'll go first.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
And probably second, likely third, maybe even fourth, possibly fifth,
like a Red Sox job interview. So Pete crow Armstrong
is the conductor who's on the trendy train. Yeah, that's
the trendy train, right, That's the sound it makes, and
I get it. Major League baseball stars for years and
(14:32):
years have treated the home run derby like a nuisance.
It is the same way that the NBA stars treat
the slam Dunk Contest, they treat it the same.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
For baseball.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
It's the home run Derby, and that's the big event,
and it's got cooties, and you don't want cooties, and
so you avoid it at all costs. You avoid the
cooties at all costs. Many Major League Baseball players, many
of them, have no problem thumbing their nose at this
event because it's for the fans. And screwed the fans.
We don't care about the people who pay the salary.
(15:07):
You're just a bunch of morons. Go have another beer.
You're a Joe Broni.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Get out of here. We're good.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
We don't need to be in your stupid home run
Derby and all that stuff. Now, it's just a couple
of rounds of batting practice, that's all it is. It's
really about being there. It's not about winning it. It's
about being there. But after a minutes long malleor investigation
into why this continues to be an issue, we have
come to a verdict on this, and the verdict is in.
(15:35):
We're ready to read the verdict to you. So the
verdict on why so many of these players Pete crow
Armstrong the latest here. It is a case of fopo.
That's what it is, right, fear of other people's opinions.
Meaning if you go out there as a klutz in
the home run derby and you don't hit any home runs,
or you popping up, or you're striking out and all
(15:56):
that stuff, you are.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Going to be slayed.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Were going to be destroyed on the micro blogging platforms,
on the echo Chamber and the matrix on social media.
So Pete crow Armstrong doesn't want to deal with the trolls.
If he should suck at a time you cannot suck.
So rather than have that competitive spirit, he's gonna tap out.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Aaron Judge has been dodging the home.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Runder, but he didn't win it in twenty seventeen, but
ever since then he's dodged it. It's not worth his
time and he'll only enter it if it's in Yankee
Stadium when the All Star Game comes back to the
Yankee Stadium, and that's it. And of course I'm sure
the fans are very concerned about Aaron Judge and his
preferences for geography.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
They're very worried about that.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
They're happy for him, but Pete Crow Armstrong he's not
doing it. His teammate Kyle Tucker also saying, I ain't
doing it. I don't want any part in the Dinger
Dinger Delight, nothing to do with that. And for the
guy skipping the home runner, like, listen, you can do it.
If you don't, I can rip you. You cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's fine. Just don't please don't tell me you're.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Skipping the home run derby because you're focusing on the
second half of the season, which is often I don't
I just want I don't want to get messed up,
but I would just don't tell me that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's the lamest of the lame. You're such a lame
brain if you say that. Just admit.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Hey, if you're saying that you're a kitty cat and
what kind of you're not a Persian cat. You're a
scaredy cat, is what you are. That's what you are, period,
hard stop. That's it, all right. It is the Yes,
there's a sound of the of the kitty cat, the
scaredy cat. It is the Ban Mather Show, and we
are pressing on later this hour. We have asked Ben,
(17:42):
your questions are answers if you'd like to submit a
question used the hashtag ask ban hashtag ask Ben on
X on X, and we may may use your question
on the air if it's good. If not, we'll just
pretend it didn't happen. Time now though, for the malor
really you can try call him. The phones are all
(18:03):
all left up. The phones are all messed up. I've
been fixed. It's been been down for about a week.
But if you want to try, one out of every
hundred calls gets in, so there's only one line that's working.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
We've determined on the overnight. You can try it at
eight seven, seven ninety nine one Fox Time.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Now for the mallor riddle of the day, and here
it is former Dallas Cowboy and a longtime NFL commentator
Troy Aikman. He says, even though he has Royal neighbors
Prince Harry and Megan markle As a home there in
Montecito near Santa Barbara, Troy Aikman says he hasn't socialized
(18:42):
with the Royals because of blank Again. Former Dallas Cowboy
longtime NFL commentator Troy Aikman says, even though he has
a home in Montecito in near Santa Barbara.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
There where the royals are.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
His neighbors, Prince Harry and Megan Markle. He hasn't socialized
with them because of blank. That is the Malor riddle
of the day. The answer, We'll get to it and
we will do it.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Next.

Queen and Coop Bronco fan, your comments can and we'll

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Back to it, right, so we go, And here is
the mallor riddle of the day.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
NFL commentator and former Cowboy Troy Aikman says, even though
he has royal neighbors Prince Harry and Megan Markle at
one of the many homes Akment owns in Montecito, California,
near Santa Barbara, he hasn't socialized with them because of blank.
Because of blank, that is the.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Malor riddle of the day. And what is the iNTS
Let's see, is anyone know the antswer?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
We go to the hoy ploy Malard prop guy says
because Prince Harry and Megan Markle's involvement at the No
King's protest last weekend? All right, ferg Dog says because
of the language barrier. Late night drug tester says hasn't
found Aikman hasn't found the right crumpet recipe, clearly. Donkey
(21:19):
Sausage says they have their own Diddy Frea cough parties
without inviting him. He says, alf the Alien Miner says
that he's.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Afraid to meet them.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Aikman is because of the extreme flatulence problem that they have. Well,
it is an issue in the royal family. That's one
of the problems. There's some sound of a royal royal
meet and greet. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says, because Aikman
hates the fish and Chips can't stand him. Fudgie in
Boston says the answer to the Malley riddle because he
(21:54):
gets flashbacks of Jerry Jones wearing his crown to work.
Ocho x O Keith says, because he's having an affair
with Meghan Markle. That that is. That is why what
else do we have a page down? Let's see kn't
read that on the air. Mister irrigation checking in Inca
(22:15):
Terror says it's four roh fear of royal opinion. Fear
of royal opinion. And Johnny Q says the answer is
because they're cheerleaders. That's why Sean and Portland says they're trash.
Mike the Leprechaun is awake. He says Aikman is allergic
(22:37):
to people with red hair. That that is the answer.
Popeye for some reason just tossed out Richard Simmons.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
As the answer.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
All right, the riddle of today one more time, one
more time, Malat Riddle of the Day. NFL commentator Troy
Aikman says, even though he has royal neighbors in Montecito,
one of the homes he owns here Santa Barbara, Prince Harry,
and Meghan Markle, he is not socialized with the royals
because of blank Lorena.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Because of the moat around their house.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Spend that would be a problem if they have a
moat that is incorrect, not allowed.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No moat's allowed in Montecito.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
The correct answer, Troy Aikman says, even though he has
royal neighbors Prince Harry and Megan Markle, he has not
socialized with them because, as he said, I don't think
they're drinking much light beer.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Troy Aikman says, So that's the stein, but the Royals
don't drink light beer.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
I'm sure she loves a good michelob Ultra.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Well, the see Aikman's pitching.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
He's pouring himself out for some light beer, which he's
not paying us to promote. He can buy a commercial
if he wants on Fox Sports Radio and we'll promote it,
but that was why Aikman said that.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But he does. He lives there.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
So you go, that's where all the wealthy people. You
really want to see rich people. People say, I'll go
to la and go to Hollywood, go to Monacito, go
to like a Whole Foods in.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Monacito and wander around. That's they're all.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Buying their tomatoes and their oranges and their onions and
all all that. They're at that Whole Foods there do
their own shopping. Because I don't know if they do
their own shopping, you're not. I'm assuming some of them do.
I know right here where we work in La and
Sherman Oaks, the Whole Foods here, they the people that
live up in the hills here in bell Air, they
come down they do their grocery shop.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I would be such a stalker if I was a
personal shopper and like, you know, you got some big
name Jennifer Lopez wants you to pick up beans from
the store.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
What kind of beans? Would fancy beans?
Speaker 6 (24:25):
Obvious?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Magic beans?
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Yeah, they might have gold flakes in them for all
I know.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Or they just eat regular food like the rest of us,
and they just happen to be very lucky in one
way or another. Anyway, we do have ask men coming
up in a little bit. Let's go to the phones.
One line is literally working and the phone not the phone.
That's right, the phone is in that Jola, My god,
you beat the odds, Joel. How many times did you
(24:51):
call in?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Hey? That's wonderful. Man had to catch up. Which I
miss you the other day? Hey, Florina, how everything's good?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
But no, look out happy? You're so happy.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Every time I hear your voice, you sound happier than
the last time I talked.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
That's what life is about, Doc. Things can get you down,
but you can't down. It sucks sometimes. I know I'm
not here down. I'm going through it. But hey, I
love the baseball talk.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I was.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
I called into uh to the Rob Parker show the
other day. I was down on him for talking about baseball.
You know, I had to get after him. But hey,
I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You were down, Rob, Rob love space? But was he
not talking about it?
Speaker 8 (25:26):
I know I had to get after him.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Okay, he was.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
He was. He was pushing back on the basketball stuff.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
You know, he was talking about the you know, the
final time to push back on you that one day.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
Y'all y'all were, But no, I'm here to talk about
the Boston Red Sox. What allows the organization?
Speaker 10 (25:42):
When I heard this deal, about the Ai deal, it
explains the ruff y'all devers. It explains why they had
Mookie Betts and they traded him a way. Who wants
to play for the Boston Red Sox. What a terrible
city to play baseball there?
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Look at the Yankees.
Speaker 10 (25:57):
They'll get you a player.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
They'll go get Alon Soto.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
Uh my guy with the with the small what's his name?
Speaker 9 (26:05):
The black dude, he's pretty swaggy, chastism.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
You know, we're master trying to play for Boston.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
The only thing that's Boston is known for the Boston
tea party.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
We love that.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
They sold the American to stand up.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
Exactly and then we loved Boston, you know, lost the role.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
But if it's the same franchise that had what's his name?
God dang what bab Yes, they had get him away?
Didn't they have Mookie best to trade him away?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
They did?
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Listen, this is right, this is what tops it all.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Comped it all off that nasty green wall who wants
to go play for that team, and you got to
hit over that dusty wall. If they take that walk
out and they you know, they talk about making money,
they can't even put people in front of the people
they're interviewing to work for the company. If they want
to make so much money, they should take that nasty
wall out and fill that up with about what that's
(26:59):
about eight hundred seat right there.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah, well, if they did put like season, they put
seas on top of it.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
But you're you're unloading. You are unloading here, Joe.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
I had to. I told too, Coop, I was gonna
go crazy. I'm from Texas, you know, I'm born in
nineteen ninety six. I love baseball. I've been to all
times of baseball. Statum, I've never been. I'll never go
to Boss because of the way they are that ideal.
And then all of a sudden, these rich time dude,
you know, these rich dudes in Boston. We're not even
going to interview a person. We're gonna give him an
a ideal. What is that?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
That's pretty lame, man, It is so late.
Speaker 9 (27:30):
They say, devras off Man, happy Devers last and went
to a good organization.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
I've never played for Boston.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
If I was a good all right, there you go.
You feel better now that's there for you.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Yes, good after. I love that, molll But you're my
god man, all right, buddy, Joey.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Hey you unloaded. Man.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
People upset right now, they're really they're double pissed because
they're upset with you, and they can't call in because
the phones are all fed up so over.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Boston they can put back.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah, all right, well they get they can't get in though.
There's one line that literally one line is worried.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But anyway, A right, Well, thank you, Joel.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I got a tremendous job there, smiling while he attacked you, right,
smiling while he was throwing haymakers and dropping atomic elbows.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
On top of your head.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Jola in Dallas, Now Josh in Nebraska is a Chicago
sports fan.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
He's very upset.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
He says, I did Pete crow Armstrong dirty because I
didn't finish the quote, saying that he would participate when
he was older. Well, Josh, I don't care if I'm
gonna do it when I'm older. That's that's a kin
to like Aaron Judge said, Well, if it's a Yankee stadium,
I'll do it. Now I'm worried about the All Star
Game this year. I do the show today. We're worried
about this year's All Star Game. And Pete Crow Armstrong,
(28:43):
trust me, He's not going to be the revelation of
Baseball Nation year after year. This is a special season
for this outfielder for the Cubs. This is a magic
carpet ride.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
This is his year. And he didn't want to pardon it.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
He didn't want to know he ret revert back to
being a mediocre or average outfielder. And this is a
career year. It would appear for Pete Crow Armstrong and
the fans want to see him in the All Star
Game and Home Run Derby, and you don't want to
do it. So that's what I'm worried about, is, Oh,
(29:17):
I'll do it five years from now or who cares.
I'm not worried about that. I'll worry about that when
i have to do that show. Then I'll worry about that.
I'm doing the show tonight, and that's what I'm worried about.
And this is a guy that is on pace to
hit forty two home runs and driving one hundred and
twenty nine runs for the Chicago Cubs, Pete Crow Armstrong
(29:38):
PCA right, that's a lot of dingers. He's from right
here where we do the show from. And he's ah,
I can't be in the home run Derby. Can't do it,
cannot do it. Not gonna happen anyway. It is the
Ben Malor Show. As we are working our way through
the overnight, and we have a new great thing, hope
(30:01):
that I am hopeful will make an NFL team, the
football team that plays in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
They claim to be from New York. The Jets have.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Signed Harrison MeVis. Does that name ring a bell? Do
you know who Harrison MeVis?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You do not?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Well, I didn't know who he was either, but I
saw these clips. He played college football at Missouri Missou
from twenty twenty to twenty twenty three. He was in
the UFL last season. His nickname is the Thicker Kicker.
He's fat and he's a kicker. Yeah, he's known as
the Thicker Kicker. He's got the dad body going on,
(30:43):
but he's a young guy. He's listed at two hundred
and fifty pounds. He looks like he's heavier than that.
And the Thicker Kicker is with the Jets. Now we
don't know if he's gonna make the team or not.
He's six foot like two point fifty and was very
good at kicking field goals and whatnot in the Southeastern Conference,
(31:06):
and he's going to try to latch on to the Jets,
and we are pulling for him. We need more great
fat athletes, is what we need, and we don't have
many of them right now. So Harrison MeVis number ninety
two at MISSOO back in the day. We are pulling
for him to have success with Gag Green, that would

(33:07):
get picked. So you guys that are complaining, I don't
know what to tell you. All right, what don't we
have here? Coop ask better questions? Oh well, and also
we don't do sports questions. So I just completely skip
over those.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Okay, all right, I don't know what the guy, I
don't know what questions they're asking. They just complain whatever.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
We're gonna start off with a question from Ferg Dog.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Oh, there you go. We've never hear from Ferg Dog.
We don't.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
He wants to know. Are you able to watch an
entire movie without checking your phone?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah? You know I can do that.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I mean, if it's a good movie, the movie sucks,
I'm going on my phone. I will absolutely go to
my phone. But if I'm engaged in the movie, yeah,
like old school movies, I don't really nothing these days.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I get my attention that one.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
What about you, Lorena, movie theaters know in my house, Yes,
especially if there's a dull moment, keep my attention.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Wait wait wait, so you mean yes and no if
you switch that around.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
So I had the movie theater. Not in the theater,
you will not check your phone.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
But on a regular movie, yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
I'm the same way. I can. I can go a
whole movie without checking my phone if I'm in the theater,
but at home I'm picking up my phone.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Well, my problem in theater is a boring movie, I
fall asleep I'm gone. It's a dark room, comfortable seat,
air conditioned, I'm sleeping, all right, what's next?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
What are we ever to ask?
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Man?
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Your questions are answers Bobby in Florida. Hi, Bobby, you'd
like to know now that the summer heat is here?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (34:35):
Would you rather cool off in the ocean, a lake
or a pool?
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:40):
So I'm a big pool guy. There's not really a
lake that I go to.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
I've only been to a lake a few times.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Ocean's okay. I don't really like the ocean around here
because it's polluted, So I guess I'll go pool Lorena.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
Yeah, any of those, as long as it's not a river.
I don't like super fast running water like that. I'm
not a strong, strunk swimmer.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Did you have a lake in Oregon when you were
growing up.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
Yeah, we had a couple of them, but you weren't
supposed to swim in them. One of them had a
really high mercury content.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Lakes are kind of disgusting, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Because they're sitting water. Yeah, gotcha cool.
Speaker 6 (35:14):
I'll be totally honest. I'm not a fan of like
any of them, but I would pick pool over at
the other two.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
More of an air conditioner type of guy.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Huh yeah, nice tropical.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I got a nice exotic luxury pool though with fountains. Yeah,
that's nice resort. Yeah, so way to go. I walk
around the beaches here and I get oil on my feet.
I can't imagine what's in the water. If I'm getting
oil my feet from the sand. What is next door?
Do we have here?
Speaker 6 (35:40):
Late night drug tester, high, Late night drug Tester, You

Aquarium Day? Yes, have you ever had pet fish?

Like the little community fair thing that we had when
I was up, I won a goldfish and we had
a little tank and that, you know, typical story, cliche story.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
The goldfish lasted about a day and then that was
it died.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
So in my head I had a fish and aquarium
and I have been to the pet store and they
look amazing. Those aquariums are awesome. And what was that
show on Discovery Channel or one of those they did

I give them a little plastic bags when I was
a kid, and one of them and then they were.
