Speaker 1 (00:00):
Omaha, omaha. It's our number four. We call an audible
and we talk about the story involving a Cowboy player
this week when you first saw the Cowboys twenty twenty
five Super Bowl prediction from Travon Diggs defensive back, what
did you think? Also Aaron Donald, he believes the sky's
(00:20):
limit for the twenty twenty five ram players. How much
weight does that have? And how humiliated wro to Baseball?
How humiliating is it for the Red Sox as they
decided to take Christian Campbell off the big league roster.
He was demoted the miners. We'll talk about that as well.
It's coming your way right now. Have a wonderful weekend.
Remember fifth hour podcast, Benny boot Camp. Today. We'll have
(00:43):
new episodes all weekend, including a look back at my
hanging out with Marlin's man. Here it is our number four.
Can you digs it well? Come in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. I know it's shocking,
(01:04):
one after another after another after another. We are in
the air everywhere, hot on the case. As we toss
in a sprinkle, a little sprinkle, there's a little sprinkle
of fun coast to Coast border, the border and beyond
on the vast and scrumptuously powerful microphones of FSR ammundating
(01:30):
live from the delights the cooking up of gastronomically great
sports opinion delights all night into the morning from the
Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by the real Martin
who has worked for years at the airport there in Denver.
In this portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible
(01:51):
in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive fast
and freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com. The
way tire buying sure be so. Our lead this hour
(02:16):
is from football. Just a couple of notes before we
get into it. We had a baseball donnybrook a. We'll
have a follow up to the follow up as a
manager shoved another manager in a late night West Coast
baseball game last night. We will get to that later on.
There's an update from the previous update that we had
(02:36):
earlier in the overnight, and also the long National nightmare
is over. It is no longer all quiet on the
Western front. After was it seven or eight days of
the phone system being broken a glitch? Finally it is back.
It is back. Hell Alujah, hell olujah. But I lead.
(02:59):
This hour is from the NFL. We are contractually obligated
to go no more than a couple of minutes without
mentioning Jerry's world. And it's always good, always good to
fill up the content machine. If you heard the latest
on this, maybe not Dallas Cowboys, the defensive back Travon Diggs.
You might not remember him because he was hurt last year.
(03:19):
But Trevon Diggs, he took the social media recently and
made a bold decree. The off injured, occasional big play
defensive back made it clear, this will be our year.
He boldly stated like a rooster with his chest out,
indicating and implying that he believes that Dallas Cowboys are
(03:43):
going to win the Lombardi Trophy. This se is something
that hasn't happened in a bit of time. You know,
you got to scrub a lot of data to go
back in time the last time the Cowboys won. So
let us discuss the question when you first saw this
latest Cowboy twenty twenty five Super Bowl prediction from Travon Diggs.
(04:08):
What did you think? So, I've got mister Universe, Tony Robbins,
and Sandwich Board, and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are gonna make the Baba gnooche.
The Baba ganoosh is what we're gonna make, all right,
So to lead off here, this is a standard story. Now,
(04:31):
it's possible that it's just I've been doing this job
for so long. I know when we get to the
month of June, a lot of my colleagues, a lot
of my contemporaries, they love to complain and bitch and
moan about June Sports Radio, I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I like.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
The reason I like it is because I know there's
certain stories I'm gonna get every year. I'm gonna get
some kind of bad blood in baseball, we got that.
I'm gonna get Dallas Cowboy player saying we're gonna win
the Super Bowl every year. Right, every year, I'm gonna
get a bunch of guys barking about how great their
quarterback is and they have no weaknesses, and it's gonna
(05:10):
be a smooth sailing, and it's all a bunch of
spin spin, Spin, Spin Spin. So this is the standard
blueprint for Jerry's marketing machine. Every single year. Every year
the Cowboys roll in to this time of the year.
They're wearing their stets and hats, they get their shiny
boots on, big old belt buckle, delusional dreams of glory
(05:36):
because everything's bigger in Texas, and much like I am
obligated to mention the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys, it's like
they play spin the bottle. It's like, all right, this year,
you give the Super Bowl guarantee, and then the next
year we'll spin the bottle again, and somebody else will
(05:57):
have to say it beyond beyond our wildest dreams and
all that. I went back and I looked at my notes,
and I didn't go back all that far because they
didn't have to. So in twenty twenty three, I remember
doing a monologue about the Cowboys. Somebody on the Cowboys saying, hey,
they're going to win the Super Bowl. So I went
back to check my notes. It was Trevon Diggs. And
(06:18):
then I remember last year doing a monologue going on
and on about how the Cowboys are going to win
the Super Bowl. Somebody said that was Dak Prescott in
twenty twenty four, now here we are again. Digs is
back and better than ever. All right, back and better
than ever. And so it's like one year's hey, yeah
(06:39):
yeah you got that, Dag, Yeah, yeah you got how
about how about you sure yeah you got it? Digs?
All right, no problem. Those are the Cowboys have players
some we've heard of, Ceedee Lamb, Dak Prescott who's a
choke artist, and Digs, and that's the same thing. We're
going all the way, rah rah rah, go team. I
know that you're supposed to say that, but the idea
(07:00):
of the Cowboys are anywhere close to winning a Super
Bowl when you look at who they hired as their coach.
It's like me saying, I'm going to go out this
year and I'm going to win the Mister Universe contest
for bodybuilding. That is what I am going to do.
A middle aged overnight gas bag is going to win
a Mister Universe contest, like there's no chance. Like this
(07:22):
is the same team that has been choking harder than
a random Texan eating those Texas toasts at some tourist
location since nineteen ninety five. Nineteen ninety five, that is
over a generation. We are getting close to a generation
and a half generations, Like twenty years, we're thirty years.
(07:45):
Bill Clinton was spending a lot of quality time with
Monica Lewinsky's intern in nineteen ninety five, if you know
what I mean. She was really making things good in
the White House, and he was the president. People were
using AOL dial up Internet, AOL dial up internet. If
I remember, Google did not exist in nineteen ninety five.
(08:08):
Forget chat GPT. That is when the Cowboys last won
the Super Bowl. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. Dallas is going
to do what they always do. I've already seen the
advanced copy of the twenty twenty five script, which is
written by the writers for Roger Goodell and the NFL.
They're gonna what they always do. I get off to
a hot start, they'll win a couple of games. We're
(08:30):
all right, the Cowboys are here, and everyone will get
their hopes worked up and they're into a ladder and
they'll be all excited, and then they'll crank on the
Savage Garden tune, crash and burn. They'll do it in
the regular season. If they're somehow he will stumble in
the playoffs. It's a lot harder now because you not
only have the Eagles, but the Washington football team appears
(08:52):
to be pretty good. So bad news. Now, it's not
all bad news because the Cowboys will yet again win
the award as the most over hyped team in America.
That's right, same old Cowboys, big stars, big talk, big disappointment,
(09:12):
Rinse wash, repeat and on to the next Now, furthermore,
speaking of NFL nonsense, we go to La La Land,
where former defensive star and one of the great all
time defensive tackles in pro football history, Aaron Donald flapping
his gums as he recently said that he expects a
(09:35):
better year from the Rams. Now, remember, the only team
that had a legitimate chance to beat the Philadelphia Eagles
was the Rams. That's it right. The Rams gave the
Eagles their toughest game and it wasn't even close. It
wasn't even close. It was a cakewalk for Philadelphia. The
only team that challenged Philadelphia was the Rams, and they
(09:55):
did it in the Eagles stadium. So he said that
the teams, all offense is going to be stacked, Aaron Donald.
He believes that the defense with all those young cats
on defense, that they got the necessary experience with each other,
and so they're gonna have a better year. So Aaron
Donald thinks the quote, Sky's the limit, close quote for
the twenty twenty five Rams. How much weight does this happen?
(10:20):
How much weight? So it's not a heavyweight, it's not
a middleweight. It's a lightweight, is what this? Aaron Donald
love the guy as a player, obviously, you know I'm
a little biased. If you listen to the show, you
know I like the Rams because I believe you can
ram it all day and you can ram it all night.
And Aaron Donald was a human wrecking ball as a player.
(10:40):
That was then he don't want to play anymore. He made
his money and he's done, and that's it. And we
live in the now. We do the show right now,
and right now, Aaron Donald is a team cheerleader. He's
here go team go dfence right pumping up the Rams
(11:02):
like he's a cheap ripoff version of Tony Robbins at
a Tony Robbins seminar, the old motivational speaker. Sky's the limit,
Sky's the limit, ready to go, like all the Rams
need seamavay. If he puts that up sky's the limit,
motivational poster, locker room, they'll be hoisting up another Lombardi.
Of course, the obvious things like what's he gonna say?
(11:24):
The rams are gonna stink. It's gonna be worse than
the traffic on the four zero five at rush hour
trying to get over the hill there to the valley.
Good luck, Like, what is he gonna know? I mean,
he's not gonna say. He's on the payroll. And Aaron
Donald his job is goodwill ambassador, good will ambassador. He's
a hype man. Now he's not Noradamas. That's me. I
(11:48):
am a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradina's
all right, last thing by request, large and in charge
by request. A fascinating story of who goofed? I've got
to know from the world of baseball. So the Red
Sox made some waves. They did. We learned that just
(12:09):
months after signing what they thought was their golden boy,
Christian Campbell, to an eight year, sixty million dollar extension,
buying out arbitration and given him financial stability, he essentially
won the lottery. They gave him a shoulder massage. So
(12:32):
Kristen Campbell an infielder who was the minor league player
of the year I believe for the Red Sox signed
an eight year, sixty million dollar extension before he'd even
had a full week in the big leagues. Now, mind you,
the Red Sox have now demoted this guy. They sent
him he's at he's twenty two or something like that.
(12:52):
He's a second baseman and they sent him to the
team in Worcester. So the Triple A affiliate of the
Red Sox. So the question how humiliating is the Red
Sox move to and the decision to take Christian Campbell,
who they gave an eight year contract to off the
(13:15):
big league roster. So on the Malord scale of humiliation
one to ten, with ten being the worst of the worst.
My answer on the Mallard scale of humiliation for the
Red Sox eight point zero, which happens to coincide with
the amount of years he got eight point zero. Now,
(13:37):
I don't really know much about Craig Breslo. I guess
he used to play back in the day and he's
a full out, full on nerd. Now the gam of
the Red Sox. But if I own the Red Sox
and this is the move that you made if I
own the team. Craig Breslow would be ordered to spend
eight hours a day on game day stand in front
(14:00):
of Finway wearing sandwich board and a sign that stated
I stole sixty million dollars of John Henry's money and
gave it to Christian Campbell, who, by the way, you
can watch playing in Worcester, and this is my punishment.
In April. In April, the Red Sox they were drinking
the kool aid. It was spiked full on optimism, and
(14:24):
I remember, I remember the time. We didn't do a
monologue on it, but I was like, what do you
why would you do that? I think it was like
six days, if I remember, I don't have the date
in front me, other like six or seven days. It
wasn't even a full week of big league time. And
they just gave them sixty million and here's the bag.
(14:45):
That's it. And as one of our listeners in Boston said,
they the Red Sox attempted to sign a couple of
their other young players, but they didn't. They didn't want
the money they wanted to They didn't want to take
the money. They wanted to be on themselves and Christian
Campbell didn't want to bet on himself, which makes me
(15:05):
think did he know that he was going to suck
like he took. I don't blame him for taking the money,
But since the start of May, the player that the Red
Sox gave an eight year contract too, has been the
kind of a player that our friend Danny DeVito should
pick up and toss away. He's been trash. He's betting
one fifty nine, that is forty one points below the
(15:28):
Mendoza line, and since May the start of May's got
four more extra base hits than I have forty strikeouts,
and it looks like he needs to use chat GPT
to find out where the strike zone is at this point.
It's that bad. And oh, by the way, I am
(15:49):
told he is the worst defensive second baseman in baseball.
He has a league worst minus fourteen defensive run saved,
which is a nerd stat playing second base. But other
than that, it was a wise investment. It was now Campbell.
I'm not saying he's a total bus There have been
(16:09):
players that have gotten to the big leagues, got sent
back down and then gone on and have solid careers.
But I'm worried about doing the show right now and
at this moment, in this moment in time where you're
here and I'm here, the scales are leaning heavily into
a little village called Busville, and the talent is there. Obviously,
(16:33):
the talent is. There's a speed guy and a slap guy,
a slap hitting kind of guy and with a little power,
but he hasn't shown it since May. We're now near
the end of June, so good luck, good luck. It
is the Ben Maller Show. Now that's gonna be one
of the big stories of the weekend. Here on Friday night,
(16:56):
here the Red Sox go to San Francisco and the
Giant Sigantes with Raphael Devers. They just unloaded him on Sunday,
the Red Sox, and now he will you know, he's
licking his chops here. You can get a motivate. He
might actually hustle. Devers might actually run hard. He's so
excited to see the Red Sox back and stick it
to them. So that'll be one of the big stories
(17:17):
in baseball. One of the other stories in baseball have
a Mallor show follow up to the follow up. That's right,
a follow up to the follow up, as there was
a manager on manager crime that took place. We'll get
to that also. The Koop Scoop on entertainment will go
(17:37):
there as well. We'll get to all of that, and
we will do it next.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
For about a week, the phones were not working. The
thing of a jig was all messed up. The what
you might call it. They couldn't fix it. It's finally back.
So we have been mixing in phone calls per normal
at A seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Also on
X at Ben Mahlor that's at Ba Malor and Mark
(19:02):
is hitting the ones in the twos and he's in

Mark Ramsey six four nine five.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
He is a proud Chicagoan, a white Sox apologist, and
all of his teams suck. Every one of them stink
right now. But he's still somewhat like sports coops here
also a Bronco fan. Your comments can and we'll be
used against you in the court of sports radio. And
now back to it. We do go back to it.
We will have the Coop Scoop on entertainment that'll be

Terry in England writes, and he says today in he
lives in near Manchester, England, and Terry's a big p one.
He's the number one forty nin er fan in in England.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't on the other
forty nine er fans in England anyway, Terry says, seventeen
(20:03):
hours of daylight in Manchester, England today it's the summer solstice.
We learn from Andrea. So if you're a fan of daylight,
this is a good day. This is a really really
good day. Ferg Dog writes and says, I agree with
everything you said in that Mallard model except for one thing.
If you entered a bodybuilding competition, you'd be the odds
(20:25):
on favorite. You earned the nickname muscle Ben buff Pants
for a reason. Well, thank you. I don't know that
mister Irrigation would agree with that. Now, Seawan in the
Valley of the Sun, Now, Shawn is he's from here?
A serious Sean is his name on the show. And
(20:46):
he is the king of being non secular man. He
just is. And he's done it yet again. He's sent
a photo. He's like, I guess from right now. He's
at the London Bridge. Now the London Bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down. The London Bridge is in Arizona.
They moved it to a town in Arizona, so you
(21:08):
can get that very exciting. Yeah. No, so I've a
follow up to the follow up. I would like to
play a follow up to the follow up. Now, what
is the follow up to the follow up? Last night
Dodgers and Padres, it was all like don't get gong
as they were thrown at each other old school baseball,
despite both teams being run by nerds. They decided to
(21:31):
have a throwback night at the Ravine in La and
Fernando Tatis got popped there with a pitch at his
hand and it was a bit of a mess, and
that led to a benches clearing brew haha. The Dodgers
brought in a pitcher who had not I don't think
(21:52):
it was his first big League appearance, a guy by
the name of Little and he drilled Fernando Totis in
the right wrist and that led to a back and forth.
Do we have the audio ready to go? Here's Mookie Bets.
Mookie Bets there explaining he was asked about the situation.
(22:13):
But well, you'll hear the audio. It's self explained to it.
But here's the face of the Dodgers, former Red Sox
and MVP with the in the you know, Dodger blue
and all that. But here's Mookie Bets explaining the situation,
and he's not really into it. Take a listen, there's
some carryover the Tuesday just comes to like some of
the HIPI pitches and what we saw between David and Shilter.
(22:36):
I don't know. I ain't gonna do with that that.
There's going to be zero controversy talk over here. So
there yelling and talk about the hip hop pitches.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Didn't go and end it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
But you know, it's a good baseball game, and they
came out on top. Okay, and that sound by right there,
you might say, well, that's benign who cares? That is
why major League Baseball is losing the conversation right there,
Mookie Bets. That's an example. This is a star in baseball.
You have a story that is compelling, you have players.
(23:09):
Because Otani got drilled in the ninth inning, there was
a confrontation. Dave Roberts shoved Mike Shilt, the Podre manager,
after Tatise got hit, because Shilt came out demanding that,
you know, yelling at the umpires, and then Roberts came
out yelling at the Podre manager, and he shoved him
and then did the old like Kevin Garnett fake tough
guy thing where he did the moonwalk as Dodger players
(23:32):
came out to get in front of him. So you've
got Mookie bets, there's going to be zero controversy talk
over here, baring, baring, and then you have Manny Machado. Now,
Manny Mchatda kind of gets it. I don't like Manny Machatto.
I find him annoying, but he gets it. Machado said
that the Dodgers should pray. He gave a warning, a
(23:55):
terse warning. He said the Dodgers should pray that the
imageing on Fernando Tatis's hand came back negative and they
were yelling that complaining the padres they were. They were
bitching that Tatise had been hit three times in seven
games this season, five times in his career, and uh
(24:21):
said to Tis, clean it up. Is what he said.
That's the quote, of course, the play Devil's Advocate. My
my thought, No, I'm not gonna too deep. I know
those people want to take take their calls and all that.
But as far as Fernando Tatis is concerned, if you
are the Dodgers like you gotta think he's probably back
on the ringworm medication. If you know what I mean.
(24:43):
Uh So, like every every time these guys in baseball coming,
you shouldn't pitch inside. You shouldn't pitch inside if that
is the only way to get a steroid cheat out,
like Fernando Tatis. You pitch inside, that's the way to
do it. And if you're gonna hit him, you're gonna
hit him. And that's it. And you that's just the
way it is. And these guys that complain about it
(25:04):
and whine about it, it's like, listen, the guys are
a steroid guy. He's probably cheating right now. Wants a cheat,
always a cheat, and so you know who knows, he
might might go be lathering in a bathtub of ringworm medication.
So the way to get him out is to pitch
inside on the hands. And if you pitch inside on
the hands, you're gonna hit him every once in a while,
that's how it works. And then the potteries came back
(25:27):
and they drilled the face of baseball. Sho Heo Tani
one of the few compelling crossover stars that people who
normally in baseball you only care about the team that
is your local team. You don't care about other teams.
But that's an exception like that is an exception of
the rule. All let's go to the phones. Let's say
hello to spin cycle Regina. How about that. That's a
(25:50):
blast in the past. Hello spin cycle Regina. She's in
Colorado now. She lived in Minnesota for a long time.
Hello spin Cycle Regina. There there, she is right there.
She is the hostess with the most. She put together
that great malard, meat and greet we did at the
Mermaid and then it was so good she immediately moved
(26:11):
out of Minnesota. That's how good it was. She moved
out of the state. She said, I've I've hit I've
hit the highest mark. I've dotted the I. I've crossed
the tee. I'm out of here and now I'm in
the army.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Now what.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You're you're in the You're in fort I don't where
is that. I don't know where that is. You're in Kansas.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Now I'm in I'm in the Army.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Now I'm gonna I'm gonna go, No, Coop, do you
think that she's in the army. I'm gonna go. I'm
voting no on that.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
I uh you, I think she might be at an
army base. But I don't think she's I think you
might be.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
You might. I'm taking care of my grandchildren and import
Riley at the army base, so I'm pretending that I
am located. Okay, So you're may you're doing cosplay, and
you can you can you not say grandchildren? Can you
say just children? Can you just leave it at that?
(27:18):
Can you?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Of course, of course anything for you anything.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
That's right? All right? Well, listen, you're so you move
from Colorado to Kansas. That means you're not that far
away from Kansas City, right, which is you know, a
relatively short drug. So you can have the ben mal
or chicken fingers at the landing over there in Liberty.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I definitely will. I will children to have fings.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's right. That's very important that you take the kids
out there and you have a great time. Mom bla,
you're moving all over the place. Are you running from
the law? Is there any way you're possibly running from
the laws? I'll probably be in believe sometime next month. Okay, Well,
that's a good one. To bring some suntan lotion. You'll
be good to go. It's wonderful. Well, I'm glad you
(28:10):
checked in. Good luck in Kansas. May everything go well
for you there, and don't be a stranger, all right,
it definitely won't.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It's good to hear from.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
You, as missed you so much.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
All right, Well, thank you. There's our friends spin Psycho
Orgina had a great night at the Mermaid there. She
hosted that put it all together, set it all up,
and so it was a lot of fun. And if
you want to put a Mallard meet and greet together,
reach out to me and it's these things are a
lot of fun and we had a great one in Vancouver.
We're going to have more coming up later this year.
(28:43):
I'm still waiting. Everything's kind of on hold right now
until I hear my travel plans. So I'm waiting here.
In the next probably two weeks or so, I'll find
some clarity out on that. One way or another. Mike
the Leprechaun is next. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun. Good morning,
who's out forever?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
My last day of work.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Congratulations, congratulate you're quitting your job. No, I'm well, I'm
retiring and I'm moving on to better things. I'm thinking

the big introduction? Blind Scott, can you toss over you
for the yes?
Speaker 4 (30:32):
So we got a big fan Justin Cooper, childhood star.
We've seen him as a baby and he are. We've
also seen him in Dennis the Menace. He was a
big star, liar liar when his father heard his feelings
and moved to Boston without him and totally destroyed his life.
Now we've got Justin Cooper on the coop Scoop of entertainment.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Look at that professional Thank you, Scott, Brian Scott Man.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
There's a couple of notes I had on that. First
of all, nice nice pull on the on the er,
you know appearance. That's a not a lot of people
know that one.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
He has no life, Coop.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
But secondly, and liar liar, the dad wasn't moving to Boston.
I was going to be moving to Boston without him. Yeah,
just flip that around anyway. Speaking of movies though, in
the theaters this weekend, we have a couple of movies
that are worth mentioning and are kind of kind of exciting.
The first one is the latest Disney Pixar film. This
(31:38):
one is called Eloh and it's a it's about aliens.
Little boy gets you know, taken up into the the universe,
the communiverse, an interplanetary organization, and he's mistakenly identified as
Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe. Hilarity, I'm
sure ensues a couple of voices that you may recognize
(31:59):
in this movie, Garrett of Everybody Loves Raymond fame, and
Zoe Saldana is also a voice of her.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
There's not that many people named Zoe.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, she's famous from the Avatar movies.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And also.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
The other Marvel movie that I Guardians of the Galaxy.
That's the one I'm thinking about. Also this weekend is
the movie twenty eight years Later. Now, this is actually
a sequel to the zombie movie twenty eight Days Later,
which was actually twenty three years ago. So they could
(32:39):
have waited five more years and had twenty eight years
Later be actually twenty eight years later from the original movie.
But I don't know what they've missed opportunity there did.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
The money, they needed the money. They don't want to
wait five years. Get the money right now? I wait
five years the.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Money right right, exactly, So, but this one is getting
This one's getting great reviews. And I'm a big fan
of the original twenty eight days Later, that one, you know,
that came out a long time ago, that was before
the whole like zombie thing blew up. It was you know,
one of the one of the ogs. So this sequel
looks great. Reviews are in and the critics like it.
(33:15):
The audience not as much as the critics, but still
still a good score. So go check out both of
those movies this weekend. And moving over to television, I
don't have much for you, actually, but there is one
thing that I did want to highlight. It is a
documentary special. It airs Tuesday on Netflix and it is
called train Wreck Poop Cruise. Now I'm not sure if
(33:39):
you remember this, Ben, but a few years back, there
was a Carnival cruise where they had a yes, yes
I do remember that, Yes, catastrophic like engine fire that
caused all the systems and the crews to shut down
and then sewage backed up and for you, yeah, yes,
(34:01):
it was a terrible thing, like four thousand guests stranded
and walking around in their own feces. And so there
is a Netflix documentary special on that on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
How many lawsuits did they have to pay? Out after that.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
That's a good question. I'm sure a lot. Yeah, but
I'm sure I bet the documentary dives into that. So
go ahead and check that out on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Remember that that transcontinental flight, it was a delta flight
from it Atlanta. Yeah, it was such a disaster that
it was like Barcelona. It was like a biohazard. Somebody
just had an issue and it just like flowed down
the plane, the aisle on the plane as well.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yes, yes, oh. And also on Wednesday, June twenty fifth
on Hulu is the premiere of the fourth season of
the critically acclaimed Emmy Award winning comedy series The Bear,
which isn't really a comedy at all, I guess. I mean,
there's some funny part, but I mean I've seen all
the first three seasons and it's it's a lot more
(35:03):
of a drama really, but you know, I guess because
it's a half hour long, they call it a comedy. Anyway.
That is the four season premieres Wednesday, June twenty fifth,
And that is Coop Scooba and entertainment.

All right to four hundred dollars. This wide receiver who

then the Washington Commanders. He's currently unhappy with his contract
(38:52):
and he's also unhappy. You guys don't know who he is? Yeah, Terry,
Terry McClaren is the answer. The former Ohio Buckett. Yeah,
he's pretty good player. Six hundred dollars, often drawing comparisons

Omaha, omaha. It's our number four. We call an audible
and we talk about the story involving a Cowboy player
this week when you first saw the Cowboys twenty twenty
five Super Bowl prediction from Travon Diggs defensive back, what
did you think? Also Aaron Donald, he believes the sky's
(00:20):
limit for the twenty twenty five ram players. How much
weight does that have? And how humiliated wro to Baseball?
How humiliating is it for the Red Sox as they
decided to take Christian Campbell off the big league roster.
He was demoted the miners. We'll talk about that as well.
It's coming your way right now. Have a wonderful weekend.
Remember fifth hour podcast, Benny boot Camp. Today. We'll have
(00:43):
new episodes all weekend, including a look back at my
hanging out with Marlin's man. Here it is our number four.
Can you digs it well? Come in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. I know it's shocking,
(01:04):
one after another after another after another. We are in
the air everywhere, hot on the case. As we toss
in a sprinkle, a little sprinkle, there's a little sprinkle
of fun coast to Coast border, the border and beyond
on the vast and scrumptuously powerful microphones of FSR ammundating
(01:30):
live from the delights the cooking up of gastronomically great
sports opinion delights all night into the morning from the
Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by the real Martin
who has worked for years at the airport there in Denver.
In this portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible
(01:51):
in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive fast
and freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com. The
way tire buying sure be so. Our lead this hour
(02:16):
is from football. Just a couple of notes before we
get into it. We had a baseball donnybrook a. We'll
have a follow up to the follow up as a
manager shoved another manager in a late night West Coast
baseball game last night. We will get to that later on.
There's an update from the previous update that we had
(02:36):
earlier in the overnight, and also the long National nightmare
is over. It is no longer all quiet on the
Western front. After was it seven or eight days of
the phone system being broken a glitch? Finally it is back.
It is back. Hell Alujah, hell olujah. But I lead.
(02:59):
This hour is from the NFL. We are contractually obligated
to go no more than a couple of minutes without
mentioning Jerry's world. And it's always good, always good to
fill up the content machine. If you heard the latest
on this, maybe not Dallas Cowboys, the defensive back Travon Diggs.
You might not remember him because he was hurt last year.
(03:19):
But Trevon Diggs, he took the social media recently and
made a bold decree. The off injured, occasional big play
defensive back made it clear, this will be our year.
He boldly stated like a rooster with his chest out,
indicating and implying that he believes that Dallas Cowboys are
(03:43):
going to win the Lombardi Trophy. This se is something
that hasn't happened in a bit of time. You know,
you got to scrub a lot of data to go
back in time the last time the Cowboys won. So
let us discuss the question when you first saw this
latest Cowboy twenty twenty five Super Bowl prediction from Travon Diggs.
(04:08):
What did you think? So, I've got mister Universe, Tony Robbins,
and Sandwich Board, and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are gonna make the Baba gnooche.
The Baba ganoosh is what we're gonna make, all right,
So to lead off here, this is a standard story. Now,
(04:31):
it's possible that it's just I've been doing this job
for so long. I know when we get to the
month of June, a lot of my colleagues, a lot
of my contemporaries, they love to complain and bitch and
moan about June Sports Radio, I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I like.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
The reason I like it is because I know there's
certain stories I'm gonna get every year. I'm gonna get
some kind of bad blood in baseball, we got that.
I'm gonna get Dallas Cowboy player saying we're gonna win
the Super Bowl every year. Right, every year, I'm gonna
get a bunch of guys barking about how great their
quarterback is and they have no weaknesses, and it's gonna
(05:10):
be a smooth sailing, and it's all a bunch of
spin spin, Spin, Spin Spin. So this is the standard
blueprint for Jerry's marketing machine. Every single year. Every year
the Cowboys roll in to this time of the year.
They're wearing their stets and hats, they get their shiny
boots on, big old belt buckle, delusional dreams of glory
(05:36):
because everything's bigger in Texas, and much like I am
obligated to mention the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys, it's like
they play spin the bottle. It's like, all right, this year,
you give the Super Bowl guarantee, and then the next
year we'll spin the bottle again, and somebody else will
(05:57):
have to say it beyond beyond our wildest dreams and
all that. I went back and I looked at my notes,
and I didn't go back all that far because they
didn't have to. So in twenty twenty three, I remember
doing a monologue about the Cowboys. Somebody on the Cowboys saying, hey,
they're going to win the Super Bowl. So I went
back to check my notes. It was Trevon Diggs. And
(06:18):
then I remember last year doing a monologue going on
and on about how the Cowboys are going to win
the Super Bowl. Somebody said that was Dak Prescott in
twenty twenty four, now here we are again. Digs is
back and better than ever. All right, back and better
than ever. And so it's like one year's hey, yeah
(06:39):
yeah you got that, Dag, Yeah, yeah you got how
about how about you sure yeah you got it? Digs?
All right, no problem. Those are the Cowboys have players
some we've heard of, Ceedee Lamb, Dak Prescott who's a
choke artist, and Digs, and that's the same thing. We're
going all the way, rah rah rah, go team. I
know that you're supposed to say that, but the idea
(07:00):
of the Cowboys are anywhere close to winning a Super
Bowl when you look at who they hired as their coach.
It's like me saying, I'm going to go out this
year and I'm going to win the Mister Universe contest
for bodybuilding. That is what I am going to do.
A middle aged overnight gas bag is going to win
a Mister Universe contest, like there's no chance. Like this
(07:22):
is the same team that has been choking harder than
a random Texan eating those Texas toasts at some tourist
location since nineteen ninety five. Nineteen ninety five, that is
over a generation. We are getting close to a generation
and a half generations, Like twenty years, we're thirty years.
(07:45):
Bill Clinton was spending a lot of quality time with
Monica Lewinsky's intern in nineteen ninety five, if you know
what I mean. She was really making things good in
the White House, and he was the president. People were
using AOL dial up Internet, AOL dial up internet. If
I remember, Google did not exist in nineteen ninety five.
(08:08):
Forget chat GPT. That is when the Cowboys last won
the Super Bowl. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. Dallas is going
to do what they always do. I've already seen the
advanced copy of the twenty twenty five script, which is
written by the writers for Roger Goodell and the NFL.
They're gonna what they always do. I get off to
a hot start, they'll win a couple of games. We're
(08:30):
all right, the Cowboys are here, and everyone will get
their hopes worked up and they're into a ladder and
they'll be all excited, and then they'll crank on the
Savage Garden tune, crash and burn. They'll do it in
the regular season. If they're somehow he will stumble in
the playoffs. It's a lot harder now because you not
only have the Eagles, but the Washington football team appears
(08:52):
to be pretty good. So bad news. Now, it's not
all bad news because the Cowboys will yet again win
the award as the most over hyped team in America.
That's right, same old Cowboys, big stars, big talk, big disappointment,
(09:12):
Rinse wash, repeat and on to the next Now, furthermore,
speaking of NFL nonsense, we go to La La Land,
where former defensive star and one of the great all
time defensive tackles in pro football history, Aaron Donald flapping
his gums as he recently said that he expects a
(09:35):
better year from the Rams. Now, remember, the only team
that had a legitimate chance to beat the Philadelphia Eagles
was the Rams. That's it right. The Rams gave the
Eagles their toughest game and it wasn't even close. It
wasn't even close. It was a cakewalk for Philadelphia. The
only team that challenged Philadelphia was the Rams, and they
(09:55):
did it in the Eagles stadium. So he said that
the teams, all offense is going to be stacked, Aaron Donald.
He believes that the defense with all those young cats
on defense, that they got the necessary experience with each other,
and so they're gonna have a better year. So Aaron
Donald thinks the quote, Sky's the limit, close quote for
the twenty twenty five Rams. How much weight does this happen?
(10:20):
How much weight? So it's not a heavyweight, it's not
a middleweight. It's a lightweight, is what this? Aaron Donald
love the guy as a player, obviously, you know I'm
a little biased. If you listen to the show, you
know I like the Rams because I believe you can
ram it all day and you can ram it all night.
And Aaron Donald was a human wrecking ball as a player.
(10:40):
That was then he don't want to play anymore. He made
his money and he's done, and that's it. And we
live in the now. We do the show right now,
and right now, Aaron Donald is a team cheerleader. He's
here go team go dfence right pumping up the Rams
(11:02):
like he's a cheap ripoff version of Tony Robbins at
a Tony Robbins seminar, the old motivational speaker. Sky's the limit,
Sky's the limit, ready to go, like all the Rams
need seamavay. If he puts that up sky's the limit,
motivational poster, locker room, they'll be hoisting up another Lombardi.
Of course, the obvious things like what's he gonna say?
(11:24):
The rams are gonna stink. It's gonna be worse than
the traffic on the four zero five at rush hour
trying to get over the hill there to the valley.
Good luck, Like, what is he gonna know? I mean,
he's not gonna say. He's on the payroll. And Aaron
Donald his job is goodwill ambassador, good will ambassador. He's
a hype man. Now he's not Noradamas. That's me. I
(11:48):
am a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradina's
all right, last thing by request, large and in charge
by request. A fascinating story of who goofed? I've got
to know from the world of baseball. So the Red
Sox made some waves. They did. We learned that just
(12:09):
months after signing what they thought was their golden boy,
Christian Campbell, to an eight year, sixty million dollar extension,
buying out arbitration and given him financial stability, he essentially
won the lottery. They gave him a shoulder massage. So
(12:32):
Kristen Campbell an infielder who was the minor league player
of the year I believe for the Red Sox signed
an eight year, sixty million dollar extension before he'd even
had a full week in the big leagues. Now, mind you,
the Red Sox have now demoted this guy. They sent
him he's at he's twenty two or something like that.
(12:52):
He's a second baseman and they sent him to the
team in Worcester. So the Triple A affiliate of the
Red Sox. So the question how humiliating is the Red
Sox move to and the decision to take Christian Campbell,
who they gave an eight year contract to off the
(13:15):
big league roster. So on the Malord scale of humiliation
one to ten, with ten being the worst of the worst.
My answer on the Mallard scale of humiliation for the
Red Sox eight point zero, which happens to coincide with
the amount of years he got eight point zero. Now,
(13:37):
I don't really know much about Craig Breslo. I guess
he used to play back in the day and he's
a full out, full on nerd. Now the gam of
the Red Sox. But if I own the Red Sox
and this is the move that you made if I
own the team. Craig Breslow would be ordered to spend
eight hours a day on game day stand in front
(14:00):
of Finway wearing sandwich board and a sign that stated
I stole sixty million dollars of John Henry's money and
gave it to Christian Campbell, who, by the way, you
can watch playing in Worcester, and this is my punishment.
In April. In April, the Red Sox they were drinking
the kool aid. It was spiked full on optimism, and
(14:24):
I remember, I remember the time. We didn't do a
monologue on it, but I was like, what do you
why would you do that? I think it was like
six days, if I remember, I don't have the date
in front me, other like six or seven days. It
wasn't even a full week of big league time. And
they just gave them sixty million and here's the bag.
(14:45):
That's it. And as one of our listeners in Boston said,
they the Red Sox attempted to sign a couple of
their other young players, but they didn't. They didn't want
the money they wanted to They didn't want to take
the money. They wanted to be on themselves and Christian
Campbell didn't want to bet on himself, which makes me
(15:05):
think did he know that he was going to suck
like he took. I don't blame him for taking the money,
But since the start of May, the player that the Red
Sox gave an eight year contract too, has been the
kind of a player that our friend Danny DeVito should
pick up and toss away. He's been trash. He's betting
one fifty nine, that is forty one points below the
(15:28):
Mendoza line, and since May the start of May's got
four more extra base hits than I have forty strikeouts,
and it looks like he needs to use chat GPT
to find out where the strike zone is at this point.
It's that bad. And oh, by the way, I am
(15:49):
told he is the worst defensive second baseman in baseball.
He has a league worst minus fourteen defensive run saved,
which is a nerd stat playing second base. But other
than that, it was a wise investment. It was now Campbell.
I'm not saying he's a total bus There have been
(16:09):
players that have gotten to the big leagues, got sent
back down and then gone on and have solid careers.
But I'm worried about doing the show right now and
at this moment, in this moment in time where you're
here and I'm here, the scales are leaning heavily into
a little village called Busville, and the talent is there. Obviously,
(16:33):
the talent is. There's a speed guy and a slap guy,
a slap hitting kind of guy and with a little power,
but he hasn't shown it since May. We're now near
the end of June, so good luck, good luck. It
is the Ben Maller Show. Now that's gonna be one
of the big stories of the weekend. Here on Friday night,
(16:56):
here the Red Sox go to San Francisco and the
Giant Sigantes with Raphael Devers. They just unloaded him on Sunday,
the Red Sox, and now he will you know, he's
licking his chops here. You can get a motivate. He
might actually hustle. Devers might actually run hard. He's so
excited to see the Red Sox back and stick it
to them. So that'll be one of the big stories
(17:17):
in baseball. One of the other stories in baseball have
a Mallor show follow up to the follow up. That's right,
a follow up to the follow up, as there was
a manager on manager crime that took place. We'll get
to that also. The Koop Scoop on entertainment will go
(17:37):
there as well. We'll get to all of that, and
we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
For about a week, the phones were not working. The
thing of a jig was all messed up. The what
you might call it. They couldn't fix it. It's finally back.
So we have been mixing in phone calls per normal
at A seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Also on
X at Ben Mahlor that's at Ba Malor and Mark
(19:02):
is hitting the ones in the twos and he's in
on the board tonight. You say a little Mark at
Mark Ramsey, that's M A R C. Mark with a C.
Mark Ramsey six four nine five.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
He is a proud Chicagoan, a white Sox apologist, and
all of his teams suck. Every one of them stink
right now. But he's still somewhat like sports coops here
also a Bronco fan. Your comments can and we'll be
used against you in the court of sports radio. And
now back to it. We do go back to it.
We will have the Coop Scoop on entertainment that'll be
(19:40):
coming up in a little bit. We look forward to that.
Terry in England writes, and he says today in he
lives in near Manchester, England, and Terry's a big p one.
He's the number one forty nin er fan in in England.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't on the other
forty nine er fans in England anyway, Terry says, seventeen
(20:03):
hours of daylight in Manchester, England today it's the summer solstice.
We learn from Andrea. So if you're a fan of daylight,
this is a good day. This is a really really
good day. Ferg Dog writes and says, I agree with
everything you said in that Mallard model except for one thing.
If you entered a bodybuilding competition, you'd be the odds
(20:25):
on favorite. You earned the nickname muscle Ben buff Pants
for a reason. Well, thank you. I don't know that
mister Irrigation would agree with that. Now, Seawan in the
Valley of the Sun, Now, Shawn is he's from here?
A serious Sean is his name on the show. And
(20:46):
he is the king of being non secular man. He
just is. And he's done it yet again. He's sent
a photo. He's like, I guess from right now. He's
at the London Bridge. Now the London Bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down. The London Bridge is in Arizona.
They moved it to a town in Arizona, so you
(21:08):
can get that very exciting. Yeah. No, so I've a
follow up to the follow up. I would like to
play a follow up to the follow up. Now, what
is the follow up to the follow up? Last night
Dodgers and Padres, it was all like don't get gong
as they were thrown at each other old school baseball,
despite both teams being run by nerds. They decided to
(21:31):
have a throwback night at the Ravine in La and
Fernando Tatis got popped there with a pitch at his
hand and it was a bit of a mess, and
that led to a benches clearing brew haha. The Dodgers
brought in a pitcher who had not I don't think
(21:52):
it was his first big League appearance, a guy by
the name of Little and he drilled Fernando Totis in
the right wrist and that led to a back and forth.
Do we have the audio ready to go? Here's Mookie Bets.
Mookie Bets there explaining he was asked about the situation.
(22:13):
But well, you'll hear the audio. It's self explained to it.
But here's the face of the Dodgers, former Red Sox
and MVP with the in the you know, Dodger blue
and all that. But here's Mookie Bets explaining the situation,
and he's not really into it. Take a listen, there's
some carryover the Tuesday just comes to like some of
the HIPI pitches and what we saw between David and Shilter.
(22:36):
I don't know. I ain't gonna do with that that.
There's going to be zero controversy talk over here. So
there yelling and talk about the hip hop pitches.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Didn't go and end it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
But you know, it's a good baseball game, and they
came out on top. Okay, and that sound by right there,
you might say, well, that's benign who cares? That is
why major League Baseball is losing the conversation right there,
Mookie Bets. That's an example. This is a star in baseball.
You have a story that is compelling, you have players.
(23:09):
Because Otani got drilled in the ninth inning, there was
a confrontation. Dave Roberts shoved Mike Shilt, the Podre manager,
after Tatise got hit, because Shilt came out demanding that,
you know, yelling at the umpires, and then Roberts came
out yelling at the Podre manager, and he shoved him
and then did the old like Kevin Garnett fake tough
guy thing where he did the moonwalk as Dodger players
(23:32):
came out to get in front of him. So you've
got Mookie bets, there's going to be zero controversy talk
over here, baring, baring, and then you have Manny Machado. Now,
Manny Mchatda kind of gets it. I don't like Manny Machatto.
I find him annoying, but he gets it. Machado said
that the Dodgers should pray. He gave a warning, a
(23:55):
terse warning. He said the Dodgers should pray that the
imageing on Fernando Tatis's hand came back negative and they
were yelling that complaining the padres they were. They were
bitching that Tatise had been hit three times in seven
games this season, five times in his career, and uh
(24:21):
said to Tis, clean it up. Is what he said.
That's the quote, of course, the play Devil's Advocate. My
my thought, No, I'm not gonna too deep. I know
those people want to take take their calls and all that.
But as far as Fernando Tatis is concerned, if you
are the Dodgers like you gotta think he's probably back
on the ringworm medication. If you know what I mean.
(24:43):
Uh So, like every every time these guys in baseball coming,
you shouldn't pitch inside. You shouldn't pitch inside if that
is the only way to get a steroid cheat out,
like Fernando Tatis. You pitch inside, that's the way to
do it. And if you're gonna hit him, you're gonna
hit him. And that's it. And you that's just the
way it is. And these guys that complain about it
(25:04):
and whine about it, it's like, listen, the guys are
a steroid guy. He's probably cheating right now. Wants a cheat,
always a cheat, and so you know who knows, he
might might go be lathering in a bathtub of ringworm medication.
So the way to get him out is to pitch
inside on the hands. And if you pitch inside on
the hands, you're gonna hit him every once in a while,
that's how it works. And then the potteries came back
(25:27):
and they drilled the face of baseball. Sho Heo Tani
one of the few compelling crossover stars that people who
normally in baseball you only care about the team that
is your local team. You don't care about other teams.
But that's an exception like that is an exception of
the rule. All let's go to the phones. Let's say
hello to spin cycle Regina. How about that. That's a
(25:50):
blast in the past. Hello spin cycle Regina. She's in
Colorado now. She lived in Minnesota for a long time.
Hello spin Cycle Regina. There there, she is right there.
She is the hostess with the most. She put together
that great malard, meat and greet we did at the
Mermaid and then it was so good she immediately moved
(26:11):
out of Minnesota. That's how good it was. She moved
out of the state. She said, I've I've hit I've
hit the highest mark. I've dotted the I. I've crossed
the tee. I'm out of here and now I'm in
the army.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Now what.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You're you're in the You're in fort I don't where
is that. I don't know where that is. You're in Kansas.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Now I'm in I'm in the Army.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Now I'm gonna I'm gonna go, No, Coop, do you
think that she's in the army. I'm gonna go. I'm
voting no on that.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
I uh you, I think she might be at an
army base. But I don't think she's I think you
might be.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
You might. I'm taking care of my grandchildren and import
Riley at the army base, so I'm pretending that I
am located. Okay, So you're may you're doing cosplay, and
you can you can you not say grandchildren? Can you
say just children? Can you just leave it at that?
(27:18):
Can you?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Of course, of course anything for you anything.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
That's right? All right? Well, listen, you're so you move
from Colorado to Kansas. That means you're not that far
away from Kansas City, right, which is you know, a
relatively short drug. So you can have the ben mal
or chicken fingers at the landing over there in Liberty.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I definitely will. I will children to have fings.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's right. That's very important that you take the kids
out there and you have a great time. Mom bla,
you're moving all over the place. Are you running from
the law? Is there any way you're possibly running from
the laws? I'll probably be in believe sometime next month. Okay, Well,
that's a good one. To bring some suntan lotion. You'll
be good to go. It's wonderful. Well, I'm glad you
(28:10):
checked in. Good luck in Kansas. May everything go well
for you there, and don't be a stranger, all right,
it definitely won't.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It's good to hear from.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
You, as missed you so much.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
All right, Well, thank you. There's our friends spin Psycho
Orgina had a great night at the Mermaid there. She
hosted that put it all together, set it all up,
and so it was a lot of fun. And if
you want to put a Mallard meet and greet together,
reach out to me and it's these things are a
lot of fun and we had a great one in Vancouver.
We're going to have more coming up later this year.
(28:43):
I'm still waiting. Everything's kind of on hold right now
until I hear my travel plans. So I'm waiting here.
In the next probably two weeks or so, I'll find
some clarity out on that. One way or another. Mike
the Leprechaun is next. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun. Good morning,
who's out forever?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
My last day of work.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Congratulations, congratulate you're quitting your job. No, I'm well, I'm
retiring and I'm moving on to better things. I'm thinking
about becoming a comedian.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Uh my god, phone, the phone's working.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Good job, Mark, you did a great job on the phone, Mark,
well done. He had nothing to need it happening, right,
he had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
The Boston meeting Greece, it is going to.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Happen, right, I don't know. It's it's out of my control.
It's out of my control. Yeah, I'm going to go
commit if they bring if they bring back the show,
the TV show, I'll be in Boston and then I'll
have a band and I have a venue and what's
your or Boston?
Speaker 4 (29:45):

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Yeah, I and now you have to put on that
Marcel loser to do the other arrange for Hollywoo.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Whatever he does, it's very rude of you to call
him a loser. Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
I don't know cars.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, he does a loser. Con I think he calls
you a loser. Cohn. Yeah, I'm doing Mister Universe twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
I'm gonna be where he get killed.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
There there you go, Okay, all right, I gotta go,
all right, thank you, all right, stop go away? All right?
Let's uh blind Scott, can you do the I don't
see Marcel by the way, blind Scott, can you do
the big introduction? Blind Scott, can you toss over you
for the yes?
Speaker 4 (30:32):
So we got a big fan Justin Cooper, childhood star.
We've seen him as a baby and he are. We've
also seen him in Dennis the Menace. He was a
big star, liar liar when his father heard his feelings
and moved to Boston without him and totally destroyed his life.
Now we've got Justin Cooper on the coop Scoop of entertainment.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Look at that professional Thank you, Scott, Brian Scott Man.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
There's a couple of notes I had on that. First
of all, nice nice pull on the on the er,
you know appearance. That's a not a lot of people
know that one.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
He has no life, Coop.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
But secondly, and liar liar, the dad wasn't moving to Boston.
I was going to be moving to Boston without him. Yeah,
just flip that around anyway. Speaking of movies though, in
the theaters this weekend, we have a couple of movies
that are worth mentioning and are kind of kind of exciting.
The first one is the latest Disney Pixar film. This
(31:38):
one is called Eloh and it's a it's about aliens.
Little boy gets you know, taken up into the the universe,
the communiverse, an interplanetary organization, and he's mistakenly identified as
Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe. Hilarity, I'm
sure ensues a couple of voices that you may recognize
(31:59):
in this movie, Garrett of Everybody Loves Raymond fame, and
Zoe Saldana is also a voice of her.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
There's not that many people named Zoe.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, she's famous from the Avatar movies.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And also.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
The other Marvel movie that I Guardians of the Galaxy.
That's the one I'm thinking about. Also this weekend is
the movie twenty eight years Later. Now, this is actually
a sequel to the zombie movie twenty eight Days Later,
which was actually twenty three years ago. So they could
(32:39):
have waited five more years and had twenty eight years
Later be actually twenty eight years later from the original movie.
But I don't know what they've missed opportunity there did.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
The money, they needed the money. They don't want to
wait five years. Get the money right now? I wait
five years the.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Money right right, exactly, So, but this one is getting
This one's getting great reviews. And I'm a big fan
of the original twenty eight days Later, that one, you know,
that came out a long time ago, that was before
the whole like zombie thing blew up. It was you know,
one of the one of the ogs. So this sequel
looks great. Reviews are in and the critics like it.
(33:15):
The audience not as much as the critics, but still
still a good score. So go check out both of
those movies this weekend. And moving over to television, I
don't have much for you, actually, but there is one
thing that I did want to highlight. It is a
documentary special. It airs Tuesday on Netflix and it is
called train Wreck Poop Cruise. Now I'm not sure if
(33:39):
you remember this, Ben, but a few years back, there
was a Carnival cruise where they had a yes, yes
I do remember that, Yes, catastrophic like engine fire that
caused all the systems and the crews to shut down
and then sewage backed up and for you, yeah, yes,
(34:01):
it was a terrible thing, like four thousand guests stranded
and walking around in their own feces. And so there
is a Netflix documentary special on that on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
How many lawsuits did they have to pay? Out after that.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
That's a good question. I'm sure a lot. Yeah, but
I'm sure I bet the documentary dives into that. So
go ahead and check that out on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Remember that that transcontinental flight, it was a delta flight
from it Atlanta. Yeah, it was such a disaster that
it was like Barcelona. It was like a biohazard. Somebody
just had an issue and it just like flowed down
the plane, the aisle on the plane as well.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yes, yes, oh. And also on Wednesday, June twenty fifth
on Hulu is the premiere of the fourth season of
the critically acclaimed Emmy Award winning comedy series The Bear,
which isn't really a comedy at all, I guess. I mean,
there's some funny part, but I mean I've seen all
the first three seasons and it's it's a lot more
(35:03):
of a drama really, but you know, I guess because
it's a half hour long, they call it a comedy. Anyway.
That is the four season premieres Wednesday, June twenty fifth,
And that is Coop Scooba and entertainment.
