Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka Laca. It's our numb bir two, our number
two ready for you. Why did Jerry Jones end up
pulling the trigger on this Micah Parson's trade to Green Bay.
We'll get into the nitty gritty of the Why is
it true that Jerry Jones had doubts about Micah Parsons
(00:21):
showing up in big moments. We'll talk about that. And
can you parse the words of Micah Parson saying I
never wanted this chapter to end meeting his time with
the Dallas Cowboys. It's always a race against the clock
as we ride the rails here on the Ben Maler
Show podcast. It's our number two, recorded on live terrestrial radio.
(00:44):
Here's our two. It's a very Jerry kind of a day.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We are in the air everywhere on the River of
life as we punch the lights out coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Vast and gigantically powerful microphones of FSR ammundating live from
the melt as we unlock the masterpiece and the Malor
meltdown on an hourly basis. Here from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Big Greg in
(01:28):
Iowa and also Robbie the Mariner fan are two offensive
linemen that listened to the show. We've got a good
offensive line here, and really the games are one at
the line of scrimmage. You gotta have a good offensive line.
We got a pretty solid offensive line. We absolutely do,
absolutely do so our lead this hour. Our lead this
(01:49):
hour is from, of course, the trade, the Big Baffosaco trade,
and this hour made possible in part by our friends
at ty Iraq. For over forty years, Tiraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
(02:10):
which makes Kathy and Madison smile and mister nice guy
nod his head. Tire rack dot com the way tire
buying should be. So are our lead from the big
flea market of football. It's the story that everyone's talking about.
Everyone's talking about it. The Cowboys made one of the
most stunning, mind bending transactions in NFL history. They sent
(02:31):
Micah Parsons to the Packers in exchange for not one,
but two first round draft picks and some defensive tackle
you've never heard of a humdinger humdinger for trade. Now
we continue our in depth team coverage all night long,
around the clock. Were past just the midnight Hour're beyond
(02:52):
all that stuff. So people have been trying to figure
out what led to the Shock and Awe trade. If
you're in our world, it's choking on. So let us
discuss the question. Let's get to the why. Why Why
did Jerry Jones end up pulling the trigger on this
Micah Parsons trade to Green Bay? Give me the why.
(03:14):
So I've got belt Buckle, Fireworks Factory, and Moe Howard
and we will combine all of these ingredients together to
make your Babushka's favorite Matza ball soup. That's what we're
gonna do. Absolutely warm and fuzzy, absolutely correct, all right,
So num bur why numb? All right? Stop, there's no
(03:39):
need to stand on your head. The first word that
popped into my head as to why Jerry Jones ended
up pulling the trigger on this trade is ego with
a capital EU.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Ego.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
This is a pride parade, not that kind of pride
that I just a very proud man. A lot of pride.
This is a proud billionaire. And I guess at one
point the family they were made their money an oil
baron at one point. Jerry's not an oil man anymore.
He's a football man. And he got told no. Jerry
(04:15):
Jones got told no. You don't tell Jerry Jones no.
If you tell Jerry Jones no, then you got problems.
And some agent decided that he was gonna shove it
into Jerry Jones's face and say no. And we know
the story now that Jerry believed he had an agreement,
he had a handshake deal with Michael Parsons back in April,
(04:36):
and then the agent said no, the guy trying to
make a name for himself, you know, no name agent
in a tailored suit, and Jerry decided, okay, I'm gonna
burn the house down. Now. We didn't think he would
do it. We were skeptics of Michaeh Parson's trade happening.
We're also skeptics of Michael Parsons. It's it's still a crazy, trying,
(05:00):
crazy town trade to say we're gonna trade a twenty
six year old defensive player Micah Parsons for a couple
of tokens, and we see in the claw machine there's
some headphones in there and looks like there's like an iPhone,
and we're gonna use our tokens and try to win
the claw machine, but you're likely gonna get nothing. And
(05:22):
so doctors do not recommend it unless you're Jerry Jones.
And you must prove that you've still got the biggest,
baddest belt buckle in the room. And you don't mess
with the belt buckle of Jerry Jones. And Jerry was
challenged by David Mullaghetta, the agent, and he got offended
by move A Getta and he made a move out
(05:44):
of spite. And this is a f Around and find
Out chart brought to life animation for the f Around
and find Out chart for that agent. Parsons Camp thought, well,
Jerry wouldn't do it. He's not gonna do it. No, no, no, no.
And they thought he'd cave in. Too old, He's not
(06:04):
like big Balls Bob there in Vegas. He wouldn't be
able to do it. They figured the Cowboys brand was
too big a risk. Jerry Jones would not give up
the star But Jones loves star players, every man, woman
and child knows Jerry Jones loves star players, and Jerry said,
you know what I'm gonna show you. I am going
(06:25):
to trade you to the frozen tundra. Get out of here.
So Parsons goes from eating delicious Texas barbecue brisket out
of the smoker, he leaves that behind and now he'll
be eating delicious cheese curds. He'll be recording his podcast
on a pontoon boat on Lake Winnebego. That's what he'll
(06:45):
be doing, assuming he can get one of those satellite
hookups of the Internet. And he went from the star
on the helmet, Michaeh. Parsons to a town I heard
this from somebody. My brother lives not far away from
lambeau Field. But the biggest media person in Green Bay
is a guy named Bill who runs a packers blog
(07:06):
out of his garage. But he's really popular, I really
really find So Dallas was the number five, number five
media market five green Bay number seventy, number seventy. So
that is not a drop off. That is a free
fall in free fall in it's kind of like going
(07:27):
from hosting Good Morning America to doing weather hits in
Glen Dive Montana. Did you know that Glen Dive, Montana
is the lowest ranked television market in America. It does
not go lower than Glen Dive, Montana. That is as
low as it goes. So the endorsement dollars, they're not
(07:50):
all gone, but lower visibility lowered for Micah Parsons. Now
that being said, he can't enjoy all the different kinds
of cheeses available over in Kenosha at the Cheese Castle.
So he's got that. And Parsons can get a statue,
not next to Lombardi, he can get one next to
Harry Houdini over in Appleton, Harry Houdini Museum over there
(08:13):
and hang out now, page two. Is it true? Is
it true that Jerry Jones had doubts about Micah Parsons
showing up in big moments? So I am nodding my head. Yes,
you can't see me unless you're watching on the YouTube,
and I'm nodding my head. Just they don't call him
(08:34):
Micah the mirage for nothing like, Parsons has had a
lot of sizzle. In fact, I would say playing for
the Cowboys, he's had more sizzle than that. The heat
of platter at El Toto. You know, there's a lot
of sizzle there, and yet when the lights hit brightest
in the big games, he's Casper the pass rusher is
(08:58):
what he is, and you see the outline, you feel
some pressure, but there's no real impact there. Poof he goes,
he goes limp And Michael Parsons is a kind of
player and it's a lot like Dak Prescott where he
will dominate from the beginning of the year and then
he'll dominate in the middle of October and disappear by
(09:22):
the time we get to January, which is problematic unless
they change the NFL calendar and play the postseason a
different time. He's the defensive version of a fireworks factory.
In theory, a fireworks factory is very explosive called boom,
a very explosive, right, But when the fuse is lit
in crunch time, all you get is a dud, a
(09:45):
puff of smoke, and a sad crown bone. And that's
it and an example. And no one's talking about this,
but I believe it is a central part of why
Micah Parsons was traded. We mentioned the agent and that's
certainly a big part of this. But let's go back
in the hot up time machine. We're gonna go to
the twenty twenty three playoffs. Early twenty twenty four, a disastrous,
(10:08):
dismal Cowboy playoff loss at home two of all teams,
the Green Bay Packers in the wild card round. Micah
Parsons was a no show. Now, what is my evidence
he was a no show watching that game, But also
the statuet, Also the stat sheet. Did you know for
the first three quarters of that NFL playoff game in
(10:30):
Dallas that you had and I had as many tackles
and as many sacks as Micah Parsons. The Cowboys were
down forty one to sixteen going to the fourth quarter
of that playoff game. And then Michaeh Parsons made a
couple of plays in the fourth quarter when the game
was well over, well over, And I recall how upset
(10:52):
Jerry Jones was, and he was one of the stars
that did not shine bright. He was a falling star
Micah Parson that game. And you gotta think somewhere somewhere
in the mind of Jerry Jones and that was a factor.
You just have to think that somewhere in the back
(11:12):
of his head, all right, now, final point, Michael Parsons
issued a prepared statement. He went on social media and
issued a statement on his trade going to the state
of Wisconsin from the state of Texas. He said, quote,
I never wanted this chapter to end, Parsons sent out
on the socials. But not everything was in my control,
(11:35):
he wrote. Prepared statement continues. Parsons wrote, my heart has
always been here, meaning Dallas and still is. Parsons said,
well that's because you haven't flown to Wisconsin anyway. Now,
he said, through it all, I never he said, never
made any demands. I never asked for anything more than fairness.
(11:55):
I only asked that the person I trust and negotiate
my contract can be part of the close quote so
can you parse the words? Can you parse the words
of Micah Parsons saying I never wanted this chapter to end?
Can you parse the words? So my first thought on
this is what are the chances? Michael Parsons actually wrote
(12:18):
that I'm gonna go zero point zero zero. That's my guess.
You want to go lower than that? Okay, you're lower
than that. So Parsons was playing with matches and he
ended up starting a five alarm inferno. Is what he
(12:39):
did because he positioned himself as the harmless victim in
this prepared statement, and that is a mix of utter
nonsense and a half truth. Utter nonsense and a half
truth that Michaeh. Parsons is completely innocent. I just wanted fairness,
and that's all I wanted. Because I recall the last
(13:00):
Cowboy exhibition game. Micah Parsons had an absolute conniption fit,
a hissy fit during that final exhibition game against the
Atlanta Falcons. He looked like Moe Howard doing slapstick comedy
with the Three Stooges. He had bad body language, the mannerisms,
the gyrations, all that. What are your examples, bet, I'll
(13:23):
give you my examples. The Parsons was spotted eating those
delicious stadium nachos in the hallway right before the game started,
right before kickoff. Well, he didn't play the game. I know,
it's just bad decorum. He was also during the game
spotted for a moment or two lying on the trainer's
table like he had been shot from a bazooka while
(13:45):
the Cowboys were on offense. So there's that. And he
also did the call me gesture with his hand. You
know how you make your hand a phone like, hey,
call me. He did the call me gesture to a
group of Falcon fans in the bleachers who wanted him
to go to Atlanta. So the only thing missing was
(14:05):
the twin pronged poke in the eye. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's the only thing missing. But he did do a
little bit of Mo Howard, little bit of Mo Howard,
three stooges, and the common denominator. The common denominator in
this is again the agent, David mula Getta. That's the
villain in this. That's the guy. He wants to be
(14:27):
the next Drew Rosenhaus, he wants to be the Scott
Boris of baseball. I respect the hustle. I respect the hustle.
And Jerry says that he had the outline of this
contract done in April, and then moua Getta tossed a
monkey ranch into the deal. I tossed a monkey ranch
into the deal, and the agent acts on behalf of
(14:50):
the client. Anyone that's ever been in a job where
you've had an agent, I've had an agent. Obviously not
a good one. I'm still doing overnights, but I had
an agent, and the agent acts on behalf of me
when I had an agent and they are working for you.
In this case, they're working for MICHAEH. Parsons. And to
rephrase this, at any point, at any time, the client
(15:13):
in this case, Michael Parsons could have intervened and said, listen,
I appreciate this. I've worked out the logistics on this.
This is the deal I want. And you know, man
de man old school. I met with Jerry Jones. This
is the deal he offered me. This is the deal
I accepted. So just make sure that everything's, you know, good,
cross the t's dot the i's I'm good. But that's
(15:34):
not what happened. Move to get is like, screw Jerry Jones.
I'm gonna get my chunk of the money here and
I'm gonna get more money out of Jerry and so
he ends up going to green Bay. Now the other
part of this and we'll get into another conspiracy later.
How about this for a conspiracy? Did Jordan Love? Is
it true? Is it true that Jordan Love played a
(15:57):
role in this happen, that he facilitated this particular trade
between green Bay and Dallas, that Jordan Love was involved this? Now,
what is my evidence on that if you look at
the agent move a Ghetta here, you have to wonder
if it was orchestrated because among his other clients, Jordan
(16:21):
Love So Michaeh Parsons agent shares he shares his agent
with among other NFL players during love So, is it
conceivable that move a Ghetta weaponized Jordan Love and said, hey, Jordan,
can you do me a solid and go to the
Packers and say that my guy would love to play there,
even though he probably doesn't, but see if they'll give
(16:42):
you the money. They got the space, and so he did,
and there you go. I'm just throwing that out there.
Let that breathe a little bit. You can let that
breathe a little bit. And so the agent here acting
on behalf of the client unless they're not. And now
Micah will go to Green Bay and he gets the
most money ever for a non quarterback. Good for him,
(17:03):
which is important because you you know, twenty nine degree
days in December in Green Bay. You need really nice
ear muffs, and you need really good wolf socks. You
gotta have those really good wolf socks and a nice parker.
Those are three items that you need. And so he'll
have those. He'll be able to buy the really nice
wolf wolf socks, some solid ear muffs, and a really
(17:25):
nice parker. He'll get all of those things. It is

Fry Daddy writes in from Pennsylvania and says, hey, Ben,
Micah is from twenty minutes down the road from where
I am. Micah is not going to like playing in
freezing weather. Trust me, he won't be happy. I thought
those guys from Pennsylvania though, they had like thick blood, right,
(20:23):
because you guys are in cold weather a lot in
the winter and all that. It's much different, I guess
in Green Bay. But we'll find out. We'll find out
about Micah. And he certainly embraced everything that it is
to be a Dallas cowboy all that, and he really
lean into it, lean into it. And so now that's
(20:43):
not there. Reek writes in for Minnesota, says a gambling question, Ben,
and if it's dumb, I'm sorry. I live in one
of the eleven states that does not have legal gambling. Well,
I live in one. Also, if I make a bet
on Mondays Gophers plus seven versus Oregon, and on Wednesday
the line moves to Gophers plus eleven, do I still
(21:06):
have plus seven or do I get the plus eleven? No,
whatever you got at the time you made the bet,
So you have plus seven because you made the bet.
If you made the bet on Monday, that's what the
line was. If you wait until it goes up, then
you get the new line. So that's that's how that works.
Who else do we have Let's see page down. You
(21:29):
can't read that. The great mister Irrigation. The ring sugar
Daddy wrote in something something about us feuding with a
local Houston gas bag, And I don't really know who
that is, although I think he risked me all the
way Right now? Am I am I on trial? I
(21:52):
don't what?
Speaker 7 (21:53):
Am I on trial for feuding with a local gas bag?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No, what ends up happening? The local guys, they don't
have any content. So what they do, Lorrain is they
take seriously. I mean, they're very bad, they're lazy at
their job, they're incompetent, and so they have to take
what I do and then use it for their material.
For their show because they're so bad at their job
they can't do their own show. They have to talk
about me, which is fine, that's good, and you're outing
(22:19):
yourself as a dope, but that.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
While giving you more listeners, which is amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Good for them, Keith and Norcow says, talking for hours
about two teams who will miss the playoffs, time well wasted.
Go podres, Yes, because a lifetime Keith watching the podres
is not a waste of time at all. Go choke
on a fish taco. Let's go to the phones, and
let's say hello to Lucky Tony in the Bay Area.
(22:46):
Hello Lucky Tony.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Hey, Ben, can hear me?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Okay? So DraftKings says, the Bears at plus one and
a half against the Vikings and over under his forty
three and a half and at the Bear's ground and pound,
and they'll score that on the cells. And I'd like
to give a shout out to my midget bridget powers bearers.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Okay, thank you. Let's say hello to who do we
have you? Hollering, hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello, hollering James.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
How James is surprising guy in Because Groop took a
defense against me, and he's got it out from me
because I caught by multiple times just to get on you.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Okay, all right, are you playing? Are you playing the victim? Don't?
There's no no you. Are you wallowing in victimhood yet again? James?
What is going on with you?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
No? Not a victim. I just don't like when people
were hitt on me like hits no one's woman.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Why do you call and every single day say I
want to use my golden ticket when you know you
don't have one.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
With a fake name with two golden tickets, James, James,
are you are you playing the woe is meet card?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
No?
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Not playing the ros the worst caller because Mike I
don't have that title.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Are you jealous? Are you jealous that Michael Leprechaun sucks
as a caller so much that he's replacing you as
the worst call Does that upset you that your place
in the pecking order?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Is he's really the worst though?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Oh my god?
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Look look if it makes you feel any better, if
the listeners could hear our conversations off the air, you
would win that in a landslide.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
James, my friend.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh, how sad? You know who's your friend. I'm your
I'm your friend. Were we ate a meal together at
the same restaurant, so we're buddies.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
And I believe I was eating at the time and
then stopped eating and brought the people that brought me there.
I'm not gonna mention name.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Don't mention Jack or anybody like that. Don't do that.
Don't mention Jack's name.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Or any His wife and I wanted to dance with her,
and you said no, because that's my wife.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Keep his wife's name out of your mouth.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
You never we never had that conversation. If you're making
that up. You waddled back to the table and kept eating.
I think that's what happened.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
I think that's what happened too. But live a little
bit better, gotten better? Right? What are the King's gonna
do if they did the Bears? I know that I
picked the Bears. Ever, yeah, but what about if the
Vikings set to Bears because they're in Chicago. It's that
(25:40):
the all sorts of field that they renewed and made
the redone and made it look real beautiful. But what
if they bring in what's his name? Tom's not Tom Zach.
That's the old quarterback from the Bears the quarterback they got.
What if they're bringing him and they struggle against the.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Vikings James, I gotta go right, I just gotta go
all right. Mustang Mania writes no Name Agent Ben, two
of the highest contracts in the NFL history of the NFL.
No Name Agent, bad take, Ben, bad take. He says,
(26:24):
muli Getta is a powerful agent at athletes, first representing
NFL players, known for his role in high profile including
Deshaun Watson and Jalen Ramsey. Well, I wouldn't want to
be associated with a Deshaun Watson, I know that. And
Mustang Mania. Maybe this is one of the burner because
there's rumors some of it. My guys are sending me
that Moli Gheta has got burner accounts on X so
(26:44):
maybe that Mustang Mania is a burner account. I don't
know anyone that would would write in to celebrate an
agent like what kind of loser? What kind of scum?
Writes in seriously defending agent a sports agent like who
does that? That must be a burner account? Check that out, cool,
Mustang many a burner account for David Mullaghetta. Let's look
(27:07):
into that. Yes, Lorena, you have too much.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Time on your hands, and you can do a burner account.
Let's just start there. But you know, sometimes people make
you mad enough to make a burner account, and I'm
kind of debating on starting one.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, Well who's upset? Who's offended you?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Well? I mean so, hold on, I was doing some
research here.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
David Mullaghetta was born in Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 9 (27:33):
Yeah, okay, this handle is at Texas Sports sixty three.
Interesting follower and lever of all Texas sports.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Oh that's us.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Oh yeah, he attended the University of Texas at Austin.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Doesn't movegeda live in Austin now, hmm? Interesting, interesting things
that make you go hmm. Anyway, fer Dog, But we'll
get to the Lorraine thing a minute, Fer Dog says,
why did why did you go away from hollering? James?
He was making some good points there. That's a lie, Loraina?
Who's offended you? Would you like to name names here?
Speaker 7 (28:14):
The comedian who kicked me out of the comedy show
last night for laughing too hard?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
You got kicked out of a comedy club?
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Make it make sense?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Ben is deaf spinning that story.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
I am not spinning the club.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Where were you at?
Speaker 7 (28:29):
I was at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood and
there was a crowd of maybe thirty people.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
The one on Melrose or where were you don't even
know what the street it was on.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
It was on the main street.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Are you talking about the improv of the laugh fact? Whatever?
The last laugh Factory on on the one on Sunset
or yeah, it was on Sunset. That's okay, all right.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
I made it through every single comedian up until my
friend and that before the show.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
It was yesterday, It was.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Yesterday before yesterday, before last night, before the show, the
night before that, before the show. Anyways, I made it
through every comedian and they all used us, me and
Victoria as butts of their jokes the whole show. The
whole show. Yeah, we didn't mind it at all. We
were laughing, having a good time. And then this guy story,
I'm telling you that you're not.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
She's failing to mention the part that she mentioned first
when she told me the story was that Victoria and
the date that Victoria brought We're talking throughout everybody's set.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Whoa, whoa, But this wasn't during the mustache guy who
kicked us out.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Oh maybe it was just a culmination of the whole
night and they got you.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Not have fun out of freaking comedy show.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I love going to comedy clubs, but the comedians often
will sit in the back of the room and they'll
notice who's being an a hole. But we weren't.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
But Ben, I understand what heckling is when it comes
to comedy shows. I've been to multiple comedy shows. I
go to them all the time. I am the date
of a comedy person for this night. He came out
and apologized that I got taken out and it's taking
me to a new comedy show tomorrow because of it.
So Coop, you were not there, you cannot say how
are you? Are you feeling there?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I'm just are you gonna have to go to the improv?
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Are you gonna have to go that problem?
Speaker 7 (30:08):
No, there's no improv.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
They're gonna let you back in that comedy club.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Oh yeah, of course No. He just said that the
guy who was on stage thought that we were too
distracting from his comedy set and he couldn't handle it,
so we had to escort off the stage.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Well that is kind of weak if you're a comedian.
I think that's what I'm.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Saying, and there was only like forty of us in
the room. How do you even handle a crowd?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Bro He sounds like Russell Westbrook having a fan kicked
out or the between.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Your legs and walk off the stage. I don't ever again,
your big old boobe.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
But that's the age we live in. I mean, athletes
have fans kicked out because they were heckling. And there
was a point I want to do back in my day,
I'll do back in my day. Back in my day,
there were athletes. I remember when I very briefly did
stuff with the Dodgers. I remember being on the bus
and we were their Dodger would be playing the Mets
and the guys in the back of the bus would
be trading stories about getting batteries thorn at them and
(30:54):
Candlestick and you beers and Wrigley the day but they'd sell.
It was like a badge of honor for these guys.
They were celebrating all the crap that was being throne
with them. And now to you juxtapose that to.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
Today, dude, you can't even talk during a quality show.
It's like, dude, what do you will The security came
over and tap. This was like, you need to come
with me. I did not realize what we were being
taken out. I'm like, what's going on? My drink is
still over there in front of my seat. Yeah, you
can't go back inside. I'm sorry?
Speaker 9 (31:22):
What man?
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Now, I'm gonna throw tomatoes. I'm gonna go find this
man and I'm gonna throw tomatoes at him. Yeah, he
watched me rotten tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You'll get all over TMS.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
This is premeditated.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yes, all right, alf the Allena planner writes in and says,
don't be so quick to blank on agents. Tommy Cutlett's
agent keeps getting him work, so he must be an
amazing and talented guy. Uh sure, sure and uh and
looks like he's pretending to be an agent, doesn't Tommy
Cutlets agent look like he's acting as an agent in
(31:55):
an HBO show on Sundays that back when these have
those big shows on Sunday, Big Robinson, Big rig Rob
says Ben, I just want to thank you and the
crew for allowing hollering James to talk so long. I
had the stereo turned up more than normal, and my
wife thought the speakers had gone bad and has given
me the green light to go out and buy news speakers.
(32:18):
This show is the best. We're here for you. We
are here for you every night. Apps. Absolutely yes, let's
see Brito, says Benny. Poppy already spilled the beans and
your new Benny versus the Penny, Well he didn't know.
No one knows the deal, so Poppy could not have
(32:38):
spilled any beans on Benny versus the Penny because I
haven't spoken to Poppy about it, so whatever he said
was likely wrong. He gave you. It's a disinformation campaign,
is what he gave. We have the Play of the Night.
And it's not just any play. We play these plays
of the night. You know, sometimes they're okay, whatever, we
got to play it play to night. But this is
an extra sexy tire play the night. Let's go to Philadelphia,
(33:02):
the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves, and Kyle Schwarber,
who had already had a big night, stepped into the
batters box and then this happened.
Speaker 10 (33:13):
Swum On hit deep rightfield and there's history for Swarmer.
It's his fourth home run of the night, as Kyle
Schwarmer becomes the first Philly since Michael jack spit to
hit four hovers.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
In a game, and that was Phillies' radio on the
call the ti Iraq play of the night Kyle Schwarber's
fourth home run. For over forty years, ty Iraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation tire rack dot Com. The waittire buying show
(33:50):
would be we have mallard of the third degree, that
is straight ahead. But right now time for the who
am I? Game? It's almost like all these things are related.
So you just heard that highlight. Philly slugger Kyle sw
became just the third hitter in baseball history to step
into the batter's box with an opportunity to have a
five home run game. No one's hit five home runs
(34:10):
in one game. Schwarber hadn't at bat against a guy
who was a position player for the Atlanta Bres, which
would put an asterisk on that, but nonetheless he didn't
hit the home run. But Schwarber was in the batter's
box with a chance to hit a fifth home run
against the guy throwing about forty miles an hour, and
he joined Lou Garrick and Blank as the only players
(34:31):
to have and at bat and a chance to hit
a fifth home run in a major league game. That
is the Insta Trivia, the Answer and Mallard of a
third degree. We'll get to it and we will do
it next.

(36:40):
very concerned. She thought it was the who am I? Game?
But it's the interest. I was confused, Ben, Well, you
know I like you were at the comedy club. You
were confused there too. Anyway, here is Philly Sluinger. Kyle
Schwarber became just the third hitter in baseball history to
have a chance to do the unmaginable. He became the
third hitter in baseball history to come to home plate
with an eye opportunity to have a five home run game.
(37:02):
He joined Lou Garrick and Blank. That is the Insta trivia.
What is the answer? Let's see is anyone in the
Malard Militia? No, mad Jack's going with Sean Green as
his answer. Malard prop guy says Fats in Philadelphia, Frankie
Frish from Alf the Alien o'pider. It's Tommy DeVito's super agent,
(37:27):
Sean Stillado Eloy from Confidence answer, Josh Cocaine Hamilton from
Scrooge Homer, j Simpson guest by King Rory. Who's Gossage
from Robin Minnesota? Who else do we have? Page down?
It's Travis and Taylor at their engagement photo session from
Milkman Mike. Interesting photograph there, Malard Militia guests by Shane
(37:52):
in Des Moines, Shoeless, Joe Jackson from Miguel He's on Fire.
Paul d got it right, so did William Sheeted Also
mister Irrigation says the Golden Bear Matthew Thomas is the answer.
John McClain from Just Josh and Cincinnati. So that was
just Josh Suer Marcus Steve says, you are Sammy Sosa.
(38:16):
But that is the answer. Slam and Sammy Eke and Roseville,
Minnesota cheated. He got it right. Carlos Delgado guests by
Canuck Struck, Bob Horner from Polly d and Vince Coleman
from Big Rig. Rob Slug Our buddy in Vegas the
hostess with the mostes, so our buddy Slug went Sean Green.
What say you, Lrena, I'm gonna go with Caesar ben
(38:38):
er No. The correct answer is the Seattle Mayorn religion.
Mike Cameron, It's Blue Derrick, Mike Cameron and Kyle Schilber
all had a chance did five home runs? None of
them did. It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 5 (38:54):
To the third degree, This is one big Ben squill.
Speaker 9 (39:01):
Kopolo Rushie Rice was handed a six game suspension for
his involvement in a multi car crash last year, and
Rice won't be appealing to the ruling.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
How much of an impact is this going to have
on the chief season?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Well, he'll be back by the time the games get
pretty important. Kansas City showed last year they can manage
the game, Andy Reid. They did not have a great
offense last year with Mahomes and they still were able
to win those games. And they have Xavier Worthy Hollywood
Brown at the start of the year. So those guys
get hurt and the rotting corpse of Juju Smith Schuster,
so there's there's enough to work with there, and some
(39:37):
of those guys are gonna get hurt. That's the problem.
Right now, they're fine. When those guys start getting hurt,
that's the problem, but they'll they'll end up going four
and to it worse to start the year.
Speaker 9 (39:46):
Next, an NFL writer for Sports Illustrated predicted that Jackson
Dart will start thirteen.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Games this season for the Giants. Ben Are you taking
the under?
Speaker 1 (39:55):
I liked it, he said, thirteen, not fourteen, not twelve.
He went with thirteen. Of course, I'm going to take
the because even if he Russell Wilson's gonna get replaced
at some point. But you don't know if dark Jackson
Dart's gonna be good or if he's gonna get hurt,
so you always got to go under. Next.
Speaker 9 (40:09):
Mark Cuban made a podcast appearance this week where he
said that he will go to his grave convinced that
the six NBA Finals was stolen from the Mavericks. You
don't agree with Cuban on much, Ben, but how about
this one.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
No, it's absolutely correct. It was ridiculous. It was a
clown show. How many times Dwayne Wade got to the
foul line. It was embarrassing. There was funny business going on.
How do we do you pass this edition? I love
and Dwayne Wade just took some more foul
Boom shaka Laca. It's our numb bir two, our number
two ready for you. Why did Jerry Jones end up
pulling the trigger on this Micah Parson's trade to Green Bay.
We'll get into the nitty gritty of the Why is
it true that Jerry Jones had doubts about Micah Parsons
(00:21):
showing up in big moments. We'll talk about that. And
can you parse the words of Micah Parson saying I
never wanted this chapter to end meeting his time with
the Dallas Cowboys. It's always a race against the clock
as we ride the rails here on the Ben Maler
Show podcast. It's our number two, recorded on live terrestrial radio.
(00:44):
Here's our two. It's a very Jerry kind of a day.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We are in the air everywhere on the River of
life as we punch the lights out coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Vast and gigantically powerful microphones of FSR ammundating live from
the melt as we unlock the masterpiece and the Malor
meltdown on an hourly basis. Here from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Big Greg in
(01:28):
Iowa and also Robbie the Mariner fan are two offensive
linemen that listened to the show. We've got a good
offensive line here, and really the games are one at
the line of scrimmage. You gotta have a good offensive line.
We got a pretty solid offensive line. We absolutely do,
absolutely do so our lead this hour. Our lead this
(01:49):
hour is from, of course, the trade, the Big Baffosaco trade,
and this hour made possible in part by our friends
at ty Iraq. For over forty years, Tiraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
(02:10):
which makes Kathy and Madison smile and mister nice guy
nod his head. Tire rack dot com the way tire
buying should be. So are our lead from the big
flea market of football. It's the story that everyone's talking about.
Everyone's talking about it. The Cowboys made one of the
most stunning, mind bending transactions in NFL history. They sent
(02:31):
Micah Parsons to the Packers in exchange for not one,
but two first round draft picks and some defensive tackle
you've never heard of a humdinger humdinger for trade. Now
we continue our in depth team coverage all night long,
around the clock. Were past just the midnight Hour're beyond
(02:52):
all that stuff. So people have been trying to figure
out what led to the Shock and Awe trade. If
you're in our world, it's choking on. So let us
discuss the question. Let's get to the why. Why Why
did Jerry Jones end up pulling the trigger on this
Micah Parsons trade to Green Bay? Give me the why.
(03:14):
So I've got belt Buckle, Fireworks Factory, and Moe Howard
and we will combine all of these ingredients together to
make your Babushka's favorite Matza ball soup. That's what we're
gonna do. Absolutely warm and fuzzy, absolutely correct, all right,
So num bur why numb? All right? Stop, there's no
(03:39):
need to stand on your head. The first word that
popped into my head as to why Jerry Jones ended
up pulling the trigger on this trade is ego with
a capital EU.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Ego.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
This is a pride parade, not that kind of pride
that I just a very proud man. A lot of pride.
This is a proud billionaire. And I guess at one
point the family they were made their money an oil
baron at one point. Jerry's not an oil man anymore.
He's a football man. And he got told no. Jerry
(04:15):
Jones got told no. You don't tell Jerry Jones no.
If you tell Jerry Jones no, then you got problems.
And some agent decided that he was gonna shove it
into Jerry Jones's face and say no. And we know
the story now that Jerry believed he had an agreement,
he had a handshake deal with Michael Parsons back in April,
(04:36):
and then the agent said no, the guy trying to
make a name for himself, you know, no name agent
in a tailored suit, and Jerry decided, okay, I'm gonna
burn the house down. Now. We didn't think he would
do it. We were skeptics of Michaeh Parson's trade happening.
We're also skeptics of Michael Parsons. It's it's still a crazy, trying,
(05:00):
crazy town trade to say we're gonna trade a twenty
six year old defensive player Micah Parsons for a couple
of tokens, and we see in the claw machine there's
some headphones in there and looks like there's like an iPhone,
and we're gonna use our tokens and try to win
the claw machine, but you're likely gonna get nothing. And
(05:22):
so doctors do not recommend it unless you're Jerry Jones.
And you must prove that you've still got the biggest,
baddest belt buckle in the room. And you don't mess
with the belt buckle of Jerry Jones. And Jerry was
challenged by David Mullaghetta, the agent, and he got offended
by move A Getta and he made a move out
(05:44):
of spite. And this is a f Around and find
Out chart brought to life animation for the f Around
and find Out chart for that agent. Parsons Camp thought, well,
Jerry wouldn't do it. He's not gonna do it. No, no, no, no.
And they thought he'd cave in. Too old, He's not
(06:04):
like big Balls Bob there in Vegas. He wouldn't be
able to do it. They figured the Cowboys brand was
too big a risk. Jerry Jones would not give up
the star But Jones loves star players, every man, woman
and child knows Jerry Jones loves star players, and Jerry said,
you know what I'm gonna show you. I am going
(06:25):
to trade you to the frozen tundra. Get out of here.
So Parsons goes from eating delicious Texas barbecue brisket out
of the smoker, he leaves that behind and now he'll
be eating delicious cheese curds. He'll be recording his podcast
on a pontoon boat on Lake Winnebego. That's what he'll
(06:45):
be doing, assuming he can get one of those satellite
hookups of the Internet. And he went from the star
on the helmet, Michaeh. Parsons to a town I heard
this from somebody. My brother lives not far away from
lambeau Field. But the biggest media person in Green Bay
is a guy named Bill who runs a packers blog
(07:06):
out of his garage. But he's really popular, I really
really find So Dallas was the number five, number five
media market five green Bay number seventy, number seventy. So
that is not a drop off. That is a free
fall in free fall in it's kind of like going
(07:27):
from hosting Good Morning America to doing weather hits in
Glen Dive Montana. Did you know that Glen Dive, Montana
is the lowest ranked television market in America. It does
not go lower than Glen Dive, Montana. That is as
low as it goes. So the endorsement dollars, they're not
(07:50):
all gone, but lower visibility lowered for Micah Parsons. Now
that being said, he can't enjoy all the different kinds
of cheeses available over in Kenosha at the Cheese Castle.
So he's got that. And Parsons can get a statue,
not next to Lombardi, he can get one next to
Harry Houdini over in Appleton, Harry Houdini Museum over there
(08:13):
and hang out now, page two. Is it true? Is
it true that Jerry Jones had doubts about Micah Parsons
showing up in big moments? So I am nodding my head. Yes,
you can't see me unless you're watching on the YouTube,
and I'm nodding my head. Just they don't call him
(08:34):
Micah the mirage for nothing like, Parsons has had a
lot of sizzle. In fact, I would say playing for
the Cowboys, he's had more sizzle than that. The heat
of platter at El Toto. You know, there's a lot
of sizzle there, and yet when the lights hit brightest
in the big games, he's Casper the pass rusher is
(08:58):
what he is, and you see the outline, you feel
some pressure, but there's no real impact there. Poof he goes,
he goes limp And Michael Parsons is a kind of
player and it's a lot like Dak Prescott where he
will dominate from the beginning of the year and then
he'll dominate in the middle of October and disappear by
(09:22):
the time we get to January, which is problematic unless
they change the NFL calendar and play the postseason a
different time. He's the defensive version of a fireworks factory.
In theory, a fireworks factory is very explosive called boom,
a very explosive, right, But when the fuse is lit
in crunch time, all you get is a dud, a
(09:45):
puff of smoke, and a sad crown bone. And that's
it and an example. And no one's talking about this,
but I believe it is a central part of why
Micah Parsons was traded. We mentioned the agent and that's
certainly a big part of this. But let's go back
in the hot up time machine. We're gonna go to
the twenty twenty three playoffs. Early twenty twenty four, a disastrous,
(10:08):
dismal Cowboy playoff loss at home two of all teams,
the Green Bay Packers in the wild card round. Micah
Parsons was a no show. Now, what is my evidence
he was a no show watching that game, But also
the statuet, Also the stat sheet. Did you know for
the first three quarters of that NFL playoff game in
(10:30):
Dallas that you had and I had as many tackles
and as many sacks as Micah Parsons. The Cowboys were
down forty one to sixteen going to the fourth quarter
of that playoff game. And then Michaeh Parsons made a
couple of plays in the fourth quarter when the game
was well over, well over, And I recall how upset
(10:52):
Jerry Jones was, and he was one of the stars
that did not shine bright. He was a falling star
Micah Parson that game. And you gotta think somewhere somewhere
in the mind of Jerry Jones and that was a factor.
You just have to think that somewhere in the back
(11:12):
of his head, all right, now, final point, Michael Parsons
issued a prepared statement. He went on social media and
issued a statement on his trade going to the state
of Wisconsin from the state of Texas. He said, quote,
I never wanted this chapter to end, Parsons sent out
on the socials. But not everything was in my control,
(11:35):
he wrote. Prepared statement continues. Parsons wrote, my heart has
always been here, meaning Dallas and still is. Parsons said,
well that's because you haven't flown to Wisconsin anyway. Now,
he said, through it all, I never he said, never
made any demands. I never asked for anything more than fairness.
(11:55):
I only asked that the person I trust and negotiate
my contract can be part of the close quote so
can you parse the words? Can you parse the words
of Micah Parsons saying I never wanted this chapter to end?
Can you parse the words? So my first thought on
this is what are the chances? Michael Parsons actually wrote
(12:18):
that I'm gonna go zero point zero zero. That's my guess.
You want to go lower than that? Okay, you're lower
than that. So Parsons was playing with matches and he
ended up starting a five alarm inferno. Is what he
(12:39):
did because he positioned himself as the harmless victim in
this prepared statement, and that is a mix of utter
nonsense and a half truth. Utter nonsense and a half
truth that Michaeh. Parsons is completely innocent. I just wanted fairness,
and that's all I wanted. Because I recall the last
(13:00):
Cowboy exhibition game. Micah Parsons had an absolute conniption fit,
a hissy fit during that final exhibition game against the
Atlanta Falcons. He looked like Moe Howard doing slapstick comedy
with the Three Stooges. He had bad body language, the mannerisms,
the gyrations, all that. What are your examples, bet, I'll
(13:23):
give you my examples. The Parsons was spotted eating those
delicious stadium nachos in the hallway right before the game started,
right before kickoff. Well, he didn't play the game. I know,
it's just bad decorum. He was also during the game
spotted for a moment or two lying on the trainer's
table like he had been shot from a bazooka while
(13:45):
the Cowboys were on offense. So there's that. And he
also did the call me gesture with his hand. You
know how you make your hand a phone like, hey,
call me. He did the call me gesture to a
group of Falcon fans in the bleachers who wanted him
to go to Atlanta. So the only thing missing was
(14:05):
the twin pronged poke in the eye. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's the only thing missing. But he did do a
little bit of Mo Howard, little bit of Mo Howard,
three stooges, and the common denominator. The common denominator in
this is again the agent, David mula Getta. That's the
villain in this. That's the guy. He wants to be
(14:27):
the next Drew Rosenhaus, he wants to be the Scott
Boris of baseball. I respect the hustle. I respect the hustle.
And Jerry says that he had the outline of this
contract done in April, and then moua Getta tossed a
monkey ranch into the deal. I tossed a monkey ranch
into the deal, and the agent acts on behalf of
(14:50):
the client. Anyone that's ever been in a job where
you've had an agent, I've had an agent. Obviously not
a good one. I'm still doing overnights, but I had
an agent, and the agent acts on behalf of me
when I had an agent and they are working for you.
In this case, they're working for MICHAEH. Parsons. And to
rephrase this, at any point, at any time, the client
(15:13):
in this case, Michael Parsons could have intervened and said, listen,
I appreciate this. I've worked out the logistics on this.
This is the deal I want. And you know, man
de man old school. I met with Jerry Jones. This
is the deal he offered me. This is the deal
I accepted. So just make sure that everything's, you know, good,
cross the t's dot the i's I'm good. But that's
(15:34):
not what happened. Move to get is like, screw Jerry Jones.
I'm gonna get my chunk of the money here and
I'm gonna get more money out of Jerry and so
he ends up going to green Bay. Now the other
part of this and we'll get into another conspiracy later.
How about this for a conspiracy? Did Jordan Love? Is
it true? Is it true that Jordan Love played a
(15:57):
role in this happen, that he facilitated this particular trade
between green Bay and Dallas, that Jordan Love was involved this? Now,
what is my evidence on that if you look at
the agent move a Ghetta here, you have to wonder
if it was orchestrated because among his other clients, Jordan
(16:21):
Love So Michaeh Parsons agent shares he shares his agent
with among other NFL players during love So, is it
conceivable that move a Ghetta weaponized Jordan Love and said, hey, Jordan,
can you do me a solid and go to the
Packers and say that my guy would love to play there,
even though he probably doesn't, but see if they'll give
(16:42):
you the money. They got the space, and so he did,
and there you go. I'm just throwing that out there.
Let that breathe a little bit. You can let that
breathe a little bit. And so the agent here acting
on behalf of the client unless they're not. And now
Micah will go to Green Bay and he gets the
most money ever for a non quarterback. Good for him,
(17:03):
which is important because you you know, twenty nine degree
days in December in Green Bay. You need really nice
ear muffs, and you need really good wolf socks. You
gotta have those really good wolf socks and a nice parker.
Those are three items that you need. And so he'll
have those. He'll be able to buy the really nice
wolf wolf socks, some solid ear muffs, and a really
(17:25):
nice parker. He'll get all of those things. It is

at a Bronco fan. That's all Bronco fan. Your comments
can and will be used against you in the court
(20:02):
of sports radio. So and now back to it, all right.
Fry Daddy writes in from Pennsylvania and says, hey, Ben,
Micah is from twenty minutes down the road from where
I am. Micah is not going to like playing in
freezing weather. Trust me, he won't be happy. I thought
those guys from Pennsylvania though, they had like thick blood, right,
(20:23):
because you guys are in cold weather a lot in
the winter and all that. It's much different, I guess
in Green Bay. But we'll find out. We'll find out
about Micah. And he certainly embraced everything that it is
to be a Dallas cowboy all that, and he really
lean into it, lean into it. And so now that's
(20:43):
not there. Reek writes in for Minnesota, says a gambling question, Ben,
and if it's dumb, I'm sorry. I live in one
of the eleven states that does not have legal gambling. Well,
I live in one. Also, if I make a bet
on Mondays Gophers plus seven versus Oregon, and on Wednesday
the line moves to Gophers plus eleven, do I still
(21:06):
have plus seven or do I get the plus eleven? No,
whatever you got at the time you made the bet,
So you have plus seven because you made the bet.
If you made the bet on Monday, that's what the
line was. If you wait until it goes up, then
you get the new line. So that's that's how that works.
Who else do we have Let's see page down. You
(21:29):
can't read that. The great mister Irrigation. The ring sugar
Daddy wrote in something something about us feuding with a
local Houston gas bag, And I don't really know who
that is, although I think he risked me all the
way Right now? Am I am I on trial? I
(21:52):
don't what?
Speaker 7 (21:53):
Am I on trial for feuding with a local gas bag?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No, what ends up happening? The local guys, they don't
have any content. So what they do, Lorrain is they
take seriously. I mean, they're very bad, they're lazy at
their job, they're incompetent, and so they have to take
what I do and then use it for their material.
For their show because they're so bad at their job
they can't do their own show. They have to talk
about me, which is fine, that's good, and you're outing
(22:19):
yourself as a dope, but that.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
While giving you more listeners, which is amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Good for them, Keith and Norcow says, talking for hours
about two teams who will miss the playoffs, time well wasted.
Go podres, Yes, because a lifetime Keith watching the podres
is not a waste of time at all. Go choke
on a fish taco. Let's go to the phones, and
let's say hello to Lucky Tony in the Bay Area.
(22:46):
Hello Lucky Tony.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Hey, Ben, can hear me?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Okay? So DraftKings says, the Bears at plus one and
a half against the Vikings and over under his forty
three and a half and at the Bear's ground and pound,
and they'll score that on the cells. And I'd like
to give a shout out to my midget bridget powers bearers.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Okay, thank you. Let's say hello to who do we
have you? Hollering, hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello, hollering James.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
How James is surprising guy in Because Groop took a
defense against me, and he's got it out from me
because I caught by multiple times just to get on you.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Okay, all right, are you playing? Are you playing the victim? Don't?
There's no no you. Are you wallowing in victimhood yet again? James?
What is going on with you?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
No? Not a victim. I just don't like when people
were hitt on me like hits no one's woman.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Why do you call and every single day say I
want to use my golden ticket when you know you
don't have one.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
With a fake name with two golden tickets, James, James,
are you are you playing the woe is meet card?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
No?
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Not playing the ros the worst caller because Mike I
don't have that title.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Are you jealous? Are you jealous that Michael Leprechaun sucks
as a caller so much that he's replacing you as
the worst call Does that upset you that your place
in the pecking order?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Is he's really the worst though?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Oh my god?
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Look look if it makes you feel any better, if
the listeners could hear our conversations off the air, you
would win that in a landslide.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
James, my friend.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh, how sad? You know who's your friend. I'm your
I'm your friend. Were we ate a meal together at
the same restaurant, so we're buddies.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
And I believe I was eating at the time and
then stopped eating and brought the people that brought me there.
I'm not gonna mention name.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Don't mention Jack or anybody like that. Don't do that.
Don't mention Jack's name.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Or any His wife and I wanted to dance with her,
and you said no, because that's my wife.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Keep his wife's name out of your mouth.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
You never we never had that conversation. If you're making
that up. You waddled back to the table and kept eating.
I think that's what happened.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
I think that's what happened too. But live a little
bit better, gotten better? Right? What are the King's gonna
do if they did the Bears? I know that I
picked the Bears. Ever, yeah, but what about if the
Vikings set to Bears because they're in Chicago. It's that
(25:40):
the all sorts of field that they renewed and made
the redone and made it look real beautiful. But what
if they bring in what's his name? Tom's not Tom Zach.
That's the old quarterback from the Bears the quarterback they got.
What if they're bringing him and they struggle against the.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Vikings James, I gotta go right, I just gotta go
all right. Mustang Mania writes no Name Agent Ben, two
of the highest contracts in the NFL history of the NFL.
No Name Agent, bad take, Ben, bad take. He says,
(26:24):
muli Getta is a powerful agent at athletes, first representing
NFL players, known for his role in high profile including
Deshaun Watson and Jalen Ramsey. Well, I wouldn't want to
be associated with a Deshaun Watson, I know that. And
Mustang Mania. Maybe this is one of the burner because
there's rumors some of it. My guys are sending me
that Moli Gheta has got burner accounts on X so
(26:44):
maybe that Mustang Mania is a burner account. I don't
know anyone that would would write in to celebrate an
agent like what kind of loser? What kind of scum?
Writes in seriously defending agent a sports agent like who
does that? That must be a burner account? Check that out, cool,
Mustang many a burner account for David Mullaghetta. Let's look
(27:07):
into that. Yes, Lorena, you have too much.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Time on your hands, and you can do a burner account.
Let's just start there. But you know, sometimes people make
you mad enough to make a burner account, and I'm
kind of debating on starting one.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, Well who's upset? Who's offended you?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Well? I mean so, hold on, I was doing some
research here.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
David Mullaghetta was born in Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 9 (27:33):
Yeah, okay, this handle is at Texas Sports sixty three.
Interesting follower and lever of all Texas sports.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Oh that's us.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Oh yeah, he attended the University of Texas at Austin.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Doesn't movegeda live in Austin now, hmm? Interesting, interesting things
that make you go hmm. Anyway, fer Dog, But we'll
get to the Lorraine thing a minute, Fer Dog says,
why did why did you go away from hollering? James?
He was making some good points there. That's a lie, Loraina?
Who's offended you? Would you like to name names here?
Speaker 7 (28:14):
The comedian who kicked me out of the comedy show
last night for laughing too hard?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
You got kicked out of a comedy club?
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Make it make sense?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Ben is deaf spinning that story.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
I am not spinning the club.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Where were you at?
Speaker 7 (28:29):
I was at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood and
there was a crowd of maybe thirty people.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
The one on Melrose or where were you don't even
know what the street it was on.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
It was on the main street.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Are you talking about the improv of the laugh fact? Whatever?
The last laugh Factory on on the one on Sunset
or yeah, it was on Sunset. That's okay, all right.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
I made it through every single comedian up until my
friend and that before the show.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
It was yesterday, It was.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Yesterday before yesterday, before last night, before the show, the
night before that, before the show. Anyways, I made it
through every comedian and they all used us, me and
Victoria as butts of their jokes the whole show. The
whole show. Yeah, we didn't mind it at all. We
were laughing, having a good time. And then this guy story,
I'm telling you that you're not.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
She's failing to mention the part that she mentioned first
when she told me the story was that Victoria and
the date that Victoria brought We're talking throughout everybody's set.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Whoa, whoa, But this wasn't during the mustache guy who
kicked us out.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Oh maybe it was just a culmination of the whole
night and they got you.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Not have fun out of freaking comedy show.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I love going to comedy clubs, but the comedians often
will sit in the back of the room and they'll
notice who's being an a hole. But we weren't.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
But Ben, I understand what heckling is when it comes
to comedy shows. I've been to multiple comedy shows. I
go to them all the time. I am the date
of a comedy person for this night. He came out
and apologized that I got taken out and it's taking
me to a new comedy show tomorrow because of it.
So Coop, you were not there, you cannot say how
are you? Are you feeling there?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I'm just are you gonna have to go to the improv?
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Are you gonna have to go that problem?
Speaker 7 (30:08):
No, there's no improv.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
They're gonna let you back in that comedy club.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Oh yeah, of course No. He just said that the
guy who was on stage thought that we were too
distracting from his comedy set and he couldn't handle it,
so we had to escort off the stage.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Well that is kind of weak if you're a comedian.
I think that's what I'm.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Saying, and there was only like forty of us in
the room. How do you even handle a crowd?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Bro He sounds like Russell Westbrook having a fan kicked
out or the between.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Your legs and walk off the stage. I don't ever again,
your big old boobe.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
But that's the age we live in. I mean, athletes
have fans kicked out because they were heckling. And there
was a point I want to do back in my day,
I'll do back in my day. Back in my day,
there were athletes. I remember when I very briefly did
stuff with the Dodgers. I remember being on the bus
and we were their Dodger would be playing the Mets
and the guys in the back of the bus would
be trading stories about getting batteries thorn at them and
(30:54):
Candlestick and you beers and Wrigley the day but they'd sell.
It was like a badge of honor for these guys.
They were celebrating all the crap that was being throne
with them. And now to you juxtapose that to.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
Today, dude, you can't even talk during a quality show.
It's like, dude, what do you will The security came
over and tap. This was like, you need to come
with me. I did not realize what we were being
taken out. I'm like, what's going on? My drink is
still over there in front of my seat. Yeah, you
can't go back inside. I'm sorry?
Speaker 9 (31:22):
What man?
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Now, I'm gonna throw tomatoes. I'm gonna go find this
man and I'm gonna throw tomatoes at him. Yeah, he
watched me rotten tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You'll get all over TMS.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
This is premeditated.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yes, all right, alf the Allena planner writes in and says,
don't be so quick to blank on agents. Tommy Cutlett's
agent keeps getting him work, so he must be an
amazing and talented guy. Uh sure, sure and uh and
looks like he's pretending to be an agent, doesn't Tommy
Cutlets agent look like he's acting as an agent in
(31:55):
an HBO show on Sundays that back when these have
those big shows on Sunday, Big Robinson, Big rig Rob
says Ben, I just want to thank you and the
crew for allowing hollering James to talk so long. I
had the stereo turned up more than normal, and my
wife thought the speakers had gone bad and has given
me the green light to go out and buy news speakers.
(32:18):
This show is the best. We're here for you. We
are here for you every night. Apps. Absolutely yes, let's
see Brito, says Benny. Poppy already spilled the beans and
your new Benny versus the Penny, Well he didn't know.
No one knows the deal, so Poppy could not have
(32:38):
spilled any beans on Benny versus the Penny because I
haven't spoken to Poppy about it, so whatever he said
was likely wrong. He gave you. It's a disinformation campaign,
is what he gave. We have the Play of the Night.
And it's not just any play. We play these plays
of the night. You know, sometimes they're okay, whatever, we
got to play it play to night. But this is
an extra sexy tire play the night. Let's go to Philadelphia,
(33:02):
the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves, and Kyle Schwarber,
who had already had a big night, stepped into the
batters box and then this happened.
Speaker 10 (33:13):
Swum On hit deep rightfield and there's history for Swarmer.
It's his fourth home run of the night, as Kyle
Schwarmer becomes the first Philly since Michael jack spit to
hit four hovers.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
In a game, and that was Phillies' radio on the
call the ti Iraq play of the night Kyle Schwarber's
fourth home run. For over forty years, ty Iraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation tire rack dot Com. The waittire buying show
(33:50):
would be we have mallard of the third degree, that
is straight ahead. But right now time for the who
am I? Game? It's almost like all these things are related.
So you just heard that highlight. Philly slugger Kyle sw
became just the third hitter in baseball history to step
into the batter's box with an opportunity to have a
five home run game. No one's hit five home runs
(34:10):
in one game. Schwarber hadn't at bat against a guy
who was a position player for the Atlanta Bres, which
would put an asterisk on that, but nonetheless he didn't
hit the home run. But Schwarber was in the batter's
box with a chance to hit a fifth home run
against the guy throwing about forty miles an hour, and
he joined Lou Garrick and Blank as the only players
(34:31):
to have and at bat and a chance to hit
a fifth home run in a major league game. That
is the Insta Trivia, the Answer and Mallard of a
third degree. We'll get to it and we will do
it next.

(36:40):
very concerned. She thought it was the who am I? Game?
But it's the interest. I was confused, Ben, Well, you
know I like you were at the comedy club. You
were confused there too. Anyway, here is Philly Sluinger. Kyle
Schwarber became just the third hitter in baseball history to
have a chance to do the unmaginable. He became the
third hitter in baseball history to come to home plate
with an eye opportunity to have a five home run game.
(37:02):
He joined Lou Garrick and Blank. That is the Insta trivia.
What is the answer? Let's see is anyone in the
Malard Militia? No, mad Jack's going with Sean Green as
his answer. Malard prop guy says Fats in Philadelphia, Frankie
Frish from Alf the Alien o'pider. It's Tommy DeVito's super agent,
(37:27):
Sean Stillado Eloy from Confidence answer, Josh Cocaine Hamilton from
Scrooge Homer, j Simpson guest by King Rory. Who's Gossage
from Robin Minnesota? Who else do we have? Page down?
It's Travis and Taylor at their engagement photo session from
Milkman Mike. Interesting photograph there, Malard Militia guests by Shane
(37:52):
in Des Moines, Shoeless, Joe Jackson from Miguel He's on Fire.
Paul d got it right, so did William Sheeted Also
mister Irrigation says the Golden Bear Matthew Thomas is the answer.
John McClain from Just Josh and Cincinnati. So that was
just Josh Suer Marcus Steve says, you are Sammy Sosa.
(38:16):
But that is the answer. Slam and Sammy Eke and Roseville,
Minnesota cheated. He got it right. Carlos Delgado guests by
Canuck Struck, Bob Horner from Polly d and Vince Coleman
from Big Rig. Rob Slug Our buddy in Vegas the
hostess with the mostes, so our buddy Slug went Sean Green.
What say you, Lrena, I'm gonna go with Caesar ben
(38:38):
er No. The correct answer is the Seattle Mayorn religion.
Mike Cameron, It's Blue Derrick, Mike Cameron and Kyle Schilber
all had a chance did five home runs? None of
them did. It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 5 (38:54):
To the third degree, This is one big Ben squill.
Speaker 9 (39:01):
Kopolo Rushie Rice was handed a six game suspension for
his involvement in a multi car crash last year, and
Rice won't be appealing to the ruling.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
How much of an impact is this going to have
on the chief season?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Well, he'll be back by the time the games get
pretty important. Kansas City showed last year they can manage
the game, Andy Reid. They did not have a great
offense last year with Mahomes and they still were able
to win those games. And they have Xavier Worthy Hollywood
Brown at the start of the year. So those guys
get hurt and the rotting corpse of Juju Smith Schuster,
so there's there's enough to work with there, and some
(39:37):
of those guys are gonna get hurt. That's the problem.
Right now, they're fine. When those guys start getting hurt,
that's the problem, but they'll they'll end up going four
and to it worse to start the year.
Speaker 9 (39:46):
Next, an NFL writer for Sports Illustrated predicted that Jackson
Dart will start thirteen.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Games this season for the Giants. Ben Are you taking
the under?
Speaker 1 (39:55):
I liked it, he said, thirteen, not fourteen, not twelve.
He went with thirteen. Of course, I'm going to take
the because even if he Russell Wilson's gonna get replaced
at some point. But you don't know if dark Jackson
Dart's gonna be good or if he's gonna get hurt,
so you always got to go under. Next.
Speaker 9 (40:09):
Mark Cuban made a podcast appearance this week where he
said that he will go to his grave convinced that
the six NBA Finals was stolen from the Mavericks. You
don't agree with Cuban on much, Ben, but how about
this one.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
No, it's absolutely correct. It was ridiculous. It was a
clown show. How many times Dwayne Wade got to the
foul line. It was embarrassing. There was funny business going on.
How do we do you pass this edition? I love
and Dwayne Wade just took some more foul
