Speaker 1 (00:00):
Chiseling away the hours of time. It's our number three,
hour three of the pod, and you got me, big Ben.
And here in our number three with the fifth hour
podcast coming up later today as well, Jerry Jones compared
the Micah Parsons trade to the Packers to the infamous

(00:20):
nineteen eighty nine trade of herschel Walker to the Vikings.
Does that work for you? Also, the Jets GM is
implying the quarterback Justin Fields can follow the Baker Mayfield
Sam Donald path to salvation in New York? All right?
Does that sound good? Also? How impressed were you with

(00:42):
Kyle Schwarber hitting out one, not two, not three, but
four home runs for the Philadelphia Phillies against the Atlanta Braves,
had a chance for a fifth. We'll talk about that
as well as sparks fly in our number three A
night Walker, A night Walker, Welcome, in the beginning of

(01:08):
another hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are in
the air everywhere, melting your ears. We are. We're melting
your ears as we hang out together and bring sand
to the beach, coast to coast, sport of the border
and beyond. On the vast and immensely powerful microphones of

(01:33):
fsre amminnating live from the flavor the Overnight Sports Talk,
the ultimate flavor enhancer for overnight sports talk from the
world famous Ben Ben Balers Show, Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It is the Ben Malor Show, as approved by Nick
in Wisconsin, who was giddy, giddy with excitement Nick and

(01:54):
Wisconsin about the big trade that everyone is yapping about,
including us. Play the hits Man, play the hits, and
this portion of the show made possible by our friends
that Express Employment Professionals. Is it time for a new job?
That it's time for Express Employment Professionals quit the endless
online job search, enlist the pros and Express never charges.

(02:17):
Job seekers of feed go to Express pros dot com.
So our lead this hour is from the story we
been talking about. We'll get some other stuff later in
the hour, but the story everyone's been yapping about here,
the big transakchon that took place last night, last evening,
depending where you were, maybe early afternoon. But the trade happened,

(02:40):
and it is the story, the top story in all
of sport and in our little world, in our little world,
it's just amazing. It's like a jack in the box
popping out. So play the hits, Jerry Jones makes the
big deal, Bye bye baby to Micah Parsons. He's gone
ex communicator to the Packers who made him the highest

(03:02):
paid non quarterback in NFL history. Now in return, the
Dallas Cowboys receives some rainy day some rainy day passes,
you know, the rainy day thing. You know, for a
thirty year old no name. You traded a household name,

(03:23):
the Cowboys for a couple of tickets that maybe you
will win the Keno and the bingo, and you got
a jag, just a guy defensive tackle. Now did you
hear the noise coming out of Jerry's mouth? Maybe not so.
Jerry Jones compared the Michael Parsons trade to the herschel

(03:45):
Walker trade. That Now, if you're really old, you might
remember this. But this happened way way, way, way way
back in the nineteen eighties, and it set the stage
for the Cowboys to become a three times Super Bowl
winner in the nineteen nineties, before social media, before the
Internet was really big. That was in the period of

(04:07):
time they used AOL was the internet. Anyway, here's Jerry
Jones waxing loquacious about the comparison and he brought this
up unsolicited. Take a listen.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I want to be sure that our fans understand. I
think a lot of Michael, and I wish him so
much success. I don't want him to have success, want
to play the Cowboys as much as I do want
him to have overall success. But Michael Parsons did an
outstanding job for us for four years, and a little

(04:40):
bit of the way herschel Walker may have had his
greatest contribution to the Cowboys. What he brought to us
when he left could be a tremendous thing for our
fans and the success of this team.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Okay, so let's discuss the question you just heard the
sound by Jerry Jones comparing the Michael Parson and trade
to Green Bay to the infamous nineteen eighty nine trade
of herschel Walker to the Vikings. Does that work for you.
I've got Jonas Brothers, Lemonade stand and Radioactive, and we'll
combine all of these things together. We're gonna make the

(05:16):
Baba Ganoosh. We're gonna make the Babaganosh. So a couple
of opening thoughts on this, Jerry said, could be now
as a historian of the Weasel terms as a scholar,
as a scholar of the weasel terminology, could be is
classic weasel language. So when you say it could be,

(05:39):
it also could be a tremendous disaster for the Dallas Cowboys.
So there's also that part of it. And it's one
of the great backhanded compliments that Jerry Jones gave Michael Parts.
He's essentially saying, listen, you you were fine with us,
but really your off in what we're getting in return

(06:01):
for you that a couple of draft picks and some
no name generic defensive tackle is better than you. So
it's some good press conference theater from Jerry Jones. He's
the maestro at this. Jerry Jones got into some of
Aaron Rodgers ayahuasca stash, but in reality not even close.
Like the Herschel Walker trade was the Mona Lisa of

(06:27):
fleecings back back in the day. But even that, if
you actually go player by player, the trade with the Vikings,
the draft picks that the Cowboys got back, they repackaged
some of them, they kept a few of them, but
they did not get the core from the draft picks
the Vikings traded to Dallas. They got roster depth of

(06:50):
those draft picks. The Parsons deal. When you're comparing it
to the Parsons deal, this is a finger painting in
a rest stop somewhere out in western Texas. Compared to
the Mona Lisa, which was the Herschel Walker trade. Two
first round picks and a guy named Kenny Clark, who's

(07:11):
a thirty year old defensive tackle. And if I gave
you a lineup of football players mug shots and I
said pick out Kenny Clark, I'll give you ten million dollars.
I'd keep my ten million dollars. You wouldn't be able
to pick him out. And so that's the deal, right,
that's the deal. And so now I end up getting
rid of Micah Parsons. And it's not the war chest.

(07:33):
The war chest was what the Vikings gave, which was
like five or six players and a bunch of draft
picks and all that stuff. It was an eighteen player trade.
This is a drunk drawer situation. And you know, and
every man, woman, a child knows that those picks are
right now worthless. Right, you have no idea what they're

(07:54):
going to turn out to be. You don't, I don't.
Jerry Jones doesn't nobody does despite all this excitement. It
is a Jonas Brothers song sucker. If you're a true
believer in these draft picks, you and my friend are
a sucker. Right. You can always sell the future. And
I've learned a finger two because I've seen a finger

(08:16):
two in my time behind these microphones. When it comes
to how sports and the business of sports work, draft
picks are the ultimate con in professional sports. You sell
the future. People always buy the future. People buy default
are positive about the future being better. That is always
the default position. It's the old sam Hinkey, that weasel

(08:39):
that ran the Philadelphia seventy six ers into the ground.
It's the old scam. Trust the process. You tell someone
to trust the process, they're going to trust the process.
It's snake oil, right, Snake oil. You traded an established player,
and again I've got issues with Michael Parsons, but you
traded Micah Parsons for a couple of guys who a

(08:59):
are not on the team right now, and you won't
fully monetize the trade until twenty twenty seven, so maybe
they'll be good in three years. You know, It's also
possible lit'll draft a couple of Klutzes or they'll draft
a guy that'll trip over a lego and tear his
ACL before training camp. It's like trading a hurricane for

(09:20):
a humid breeze, is what you've done. And Jerry I
heard all the bull crap that he was serving. Jerry
Jones was trying to sell the fan that you're getting
filet monon, You're getting a nice filet mignon, well done,
butterfly cut the way it's supposed to be cooked. And
he's really serving spam. But he's putting the spam on

(09:41):
really nice dishes, and he's using not plastic forks and all.
He's got silverware. And Parsons twenty six years old, he's
had a fork in the road. Now, he got paid
the most money by anyone other than a quarterback. And
in theory he's going to ascent right, you're supposed to
get better. You're not in your athletic prime. Yet Parsons

(10:02):
has a good six years of solid football based on
the comps, and he's not a declining ascid. That's also
a big difference here. The Vikings got herschel Walker, who
was near the end there, near the end right and
perceived to be on the on the back nine. The
other difference here after the herschel Walker trade, who was

(10:24):
involved in building the roster, ding Ding ding Ding yet
Jimmy Johnson. Jimmy Johnson who just retired from Fox and
is living out his life in Key West. But Jimmy
Johnson and they had a war room of absolute kill us,
absolute sharks there that were making decisions on who to
draft and who to sign. And Jerry Jones got a

(10:45):
sock puppet. Now as coach, he got the Nepo baby
who's just happy to be there, Schottenneimer and a bunch
of yes men that'll give him a shoulder rub and
a manny and a petty. And they have a vision
board made out of all the photographs of cowboy cheerleaders
and that's how they decide who they're going to pick. Now. Secondly,
all right, well, I'm gonna get back to the Parsons

(11:07):
trade in believe or I'm gonna take a breath. Take
a breath. So there were some other things that I
wanted to app about, and I'm not gonna get to
most of them. But in Jersey, the New York Football Jets,
their general manager David Moujie said that he is impressed
with the development the progress of Justin Fields. He said,

(11:28):
I do believe Justin could be one of those guys.
Muji was referring to Justin Fields, comparing him to Baker
Mayfield and Sam Darnald. The Jets GM said, I've seen progress.
Mujie said, you're in camp. Look forward to seeing the
progress throughout the season. Okay, So question for the esteem panel.

(11:51):
The Jets general manager is implying that quarterback Justin Fields
can follow the Baker Mayfield Sam Donald treasure map, and
he can do it in a Jets uniform. How does
that sound to you? All right? So it sounds to
me like Mouji is out there, the Jets GM is
out of a lemonade stand and he's selling hope and

(12:15):
dreams right at the corner, right helping dreams. And it's
like he's buying a ticket to a luxury cruise. He
wants the Jet fans to come on a nice luxury cruise.
And you get down to the port and you end
up on a dinghy with a hole in it, and
you're like, well, I came down for the buffet. There's
no buffet. It's a dinghy. Well, why is there no buffet.

(12:35):
You said it was a luxury cruise. Well it's it's
named luxury. The dinghy's name luxury, so it's technically a
luxury clue cruise. It's not false advertising. But I wanted
the buffet. There's no buffet. Why is there no buffet, Well,
because because it's a dinghy. But you said it was
a luxury cruise.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
It is.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
It's a it's a it's a dinghy named luxury, all right.
So anyway, every training camp, every training camp, these front
office types pass around the pixie dust right like they're
working the overnight shift cleaning Disneyland. And by the way,
we don't do shout outs, but a tip of the
headphones to our friends who have got an email from

(13:11):
people that are out of Disneyland fixing things and cleaning
things up there overnight. However, let's keep it real here.
For every Baker Mayfield who sucked out loud when he
was with Cleveland and he went to the Rams and
had a very brief little taste of some success after

(13:34):
going to Carolina and flaming out, and he's been fine
in Tampa's put up some good stats. But for every
one of those Baker Mayfield stories that somehow could duck
tape together and you have a career revival. It's like
a religious revival. There are hundreds of players like Zach
Wilson who can't play Mac Jones, who blows Trey Lance,

(13:56):
who's just a journeyman backup quarterback now floating around all
these guys floating around the NFL junkyard gathering does And
I'm not convinced that Sam Donald is the man. We'll
see what happens with Donald here in Seattle. But it's
kind of like saying, I'm gonna go down to AMPM
and I'm gonna get a hot dog, and then that

(14:18):
hot dog I buy at the gas station might sprout
legs and start singing classic Sinatra songs like the Jet
fans know better. The Jet fan does know better. They
have been promised Broadway Joe two point zero more often
than not, and they have bought into it a lot

(14:41):
right over the years, and instead of getting a Broadway show,
they get the Peoria Playhouse quarterback and fields. The up
cells happening right now, it sounds less like a like
a road map and more like a GPS stuck and recalculating.
We've added time to your trip. You know you're still
on the fastest route and all that stuff. All right, Now,

(15:02):
final thought took baseball, talking Bay's ball, and oh what
a night it was for Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber hit
not one, not two, not three, but four home runs
in Philadelphia's nineteen for annihilation. We had some blowout games
in baseball this week. That Angel Rangers game the other night.

(15:24):
Now this Phillies Braves game. So this game last night,
he became I believe, the fourth Phillies player and the
twenty first Major League baseball player to hit four home runs.
Of the game, Schwarber was four for six and he
had a franchise record nine runs batted in Kyle Schwarber.
So how impressed were you with Schwarber? Kyle Schwarber hitting

(15:47):
four home runs for the Fighting Pills against the Atlanta Braves.
All right, so this was a Thermo nuclear event. It
was a while. Dressed for success, I got, I said.
First thing that stood out The Phillies wore their powder blues.
They wore their classic throwback powder blue uniforms. Dressed for success.

(16:12):
You look marvelous. And Schwarber left an absolute vapor trail. Now,
not all the home runs, but he absolutely clobbered that
first one and number it was number two. He absolutely
just walloped. And there were moonshots, but that was Schwarber
walking into to the bank Citizens Bank parked there like

(16:34):
he was four, and he was thrown around Forrest Hammer
and he's like, I choose violence against the Atlanta Braves.
And the Braves didn't just pitch to Kyle Schwarber in
this game. They auditioned for the comeback of this week
in Baseball. How about that? Now? How about that Schwarbs
was a man possessed on this night, obviously, and it's

(16:58):
like he got bitten by a bug, a radioactive bug
that Mike Schmidt also got bitten by. Schwarber looked like
he was playing MLB the Show in rookie mode hitting
those bombs. And if Philadelphia is going to get this done,
and to me, the National League is wide open. Both
the Dodgers dodge a very beatable team in the playoffs.

(17:19):
That's not a good baseball team. Other are twenty games
over five hundred. I'm telling you. They put that turn
Burger out there, Michael Conforto in the lineup pretty much
every day, there's some serious holes in that bullpen. There's
some defensive issues there. That is not a championship team
as of today. Maybe they'll become that in the playoffs,
but right now they're not. And there are anywhere from

(17:39):
three to four teams that are legit in the National
League to win the Pennant, and Philadelphia is on that list,
even though they lost Wheeler, and in order to get
that done, they're gonna have to be an offensive team.
There's gonna have to be a Schwarber apocalypse for other teams.
Rated R for Ruthless, relentless and rocket powered in the playoffs.

(18:00):
And if you're Philadelphia and your fats in Philadelphia or
any of those other guys, Jonathan over in Delaware. This
is a teaser trailer. It's a teaser trailer for postseason
cartage to come in October. Now, Kyle Schwarber is not
just warming up like he is test firing the nukes
with that bat. I mean that was that was awesome.

(18:22):
And they should wear those uniforms all the time. I'm
just saying, wear those all all. Make that the home
uniform of the road uniform. Just wear the powder blues
all the time. It is The Ben Mahler Show. As

it we go and the Mallor Riddle of the day.
The Mallard Riddle of the day. Here it is Dion Sanders.
That's a college football coach was stunned by the blank

(21:34):
at fulsome field during Colorado home games. Again, Dion Sanders
said he was stunned by the blank at Fulsom Field
in Boulder during Colorado football games. That is the question,
what is the answer for, Dog says by the constant
chatter from Lorena and her friends. Yeah, Luke the vending

(21:56):
guy says, the girthy realism of the Cordell Stewart's you
slash Yeah, Man, I've been on radio so long, I
remember goofing on Slash when he was playing for the
Steelers back in the day. Who else do we have?
Asher going with a box of spiders as his answer.
Alf the Alien Opono says Dion was stunned by how

(22:18):
many treats could be made with apples. See now, you
can't be sending me food porn. Alf, I'm not, I can't.
You can't be doing that. Come on, milkman. Mike got
it right. Bad job by him, but he's got a
home field advantage. He's in Colorado. He's in Colorado. Robin Minnesota,
who knows where all the good delis are in the
Twin Cities, was shocked to find out that his water

(22:40):
boy's name was Bobby Bouchet blew them away? Who else
do we have? King Roy says the diabetes he said,
who else? The page down? Let's see here. Stevie Meatball
says a was stunned by the toe eating bug infestation.
All right, too soon, Stevie Meatballs. Attillo, who's eating some

(23:04):
gabba ghoul right now, says Dion saw a huge pile
of buffalo dung. Inca Terra says the Marching Band's tuba
player was surprised by that Miguel on Fire got it right.
Who else do we have? Page down the amount of
beer being drunk? From Ozzie Waz in Western Australia. Eileen

(23:25):
in San Francisco says Dion was surprised by the Peoria Playhouse.
Good listening, Eileen. See that's a great tribute to me
that you were listening. And you remember that I said
the Peoria Playhouse. It doesn't mean a lot because if
it plays in Peoria, it can play anywhere. It can
play anywhere, mister irrigation deep in the heart of Texas.
In Houston, our buddy says, stunned by the giant pile

(23:45):
of pooh raggedy Matt Maide. Okay, I don't know what
that is, but I'll just move on from that buffalo
dung from Eke and Roseville, Minnesota coach Prime. According to
Mark in Queens Slash Arlington, Texas was shocked the size
of the buffalo mascots turd. You know they just changed

(24:06):
mascots there. How much cheese whiz his coaches eat? From
poly d that's his answer, Page down. JD in Boston said,
by the squirrel on the field, that's from JD. Mad
Jack says the delicious and dejas Mexican food. Mad Jack
wants us to get there's a there's a battle for
the next Mallar meet and greet and mad Jo matt

(24:27):
Jack wants us to do one here in SoCal So
maybe we'll we'll do that, but then that'll upset the
Leprechaun and Mike in New Hampshire, and then we don't
want them upset. So then if they're upset, they they'll
they'll be kind of you angry with us, and we
don't want that. All right, anyway, let's see here, Paige,
that's enough. Loreina, do you have an answer the Mallard
riddle of the day. Dion Sanders was stunned by the

(24:50):
blank at fulsome field during Colorado football games. The amount
of Mallard militia people who showed up, all right, the
amount of Mallard militia people showed up is that correct.
Dion Sanders was stunned by the smell of the weed.
The weed at Bulsom Field. They have a tradition the

(25:16):
student session at Colorado, they have a tradition where they
wait till the second quarter. The first tevy time out
in the second quarter and then they all light up
the weed in the second quarter. Now, Dion a godframed man.
Dion said, I have never been high a day in
my life. That's kind of new to me. Dion Sanders said,

(25:36):
but you can get high from just kind of being
in the room right being. I know he's in this
big stadium, but if it's if it's enough people smoking,
you can get like a secondhand high from people smoking
out there. Anyway, that is the Mallord riddle of the day.
Thanks to all of you who answered, and we get
back to the calls. Let's say hello to Eeny Meani
Mighty Mode. Let's go to Chris, who's in Houston. What's

(25:58):
going on? Chris, welcome, Hey, been great show man. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
I just want to try about the Packers and this
Michael Parsons trade.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
This is freaking awesome.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
I love seeing Cowboy Nation cry and I haven't seen
the hyphenus of the Attackers community so high since Charles
Woodson was acquired by them many years ago.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
They don't they don't do this. They never do this.
This is not this is not what the Packers do.
They don't make these kind of moves.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I think one guy that's more mad than than than
the Cowboy nation. Honestly, is Aaron Rodgers because not only
did we get to get a wide receiver in the
first round, and we traded for a top three, top
five elite defender, something that he never.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
Had while he was there.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, I don't think he cares. I think you're Rodgers
is just wants he wants to know where the best
ayahuasca is. And that's it, you know what I'm saying, Chris,
And he's just kind of killing you, right, You're right,
that's definitely. Yeah, he wants to know when he can
go on the Joe Rogan podcast next. That's what he
wants to know.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
How do you have a question for you real quick?

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Based on this trade?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Can the Cowboys actually lose any any primetime games? And
can the Packers move up on those primetime games before
the season starts?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
No, not before the season starts, but what could happen
late in the year if the Cowboys are terrible, they
can they can flex out some of those late I
don't have the schedule in front of me, but late
in the season they can flex out and the Packers
can be added. So yeah, it can change. But it's
not going to change before the season. It'll change late
in the year. They'll take if the Cowboys are terrible,
will take them off some although here's the problem though,

(27:40):
as you know, they get ratings no matter whether they're
good or bad. So it's tough to take the Cowboys
off primetime because they get ratings. I could see the
Packers being added in some slots if they're interesting and
they're good and Parsons is playing well and all that,
and so yeah, all right, thank you for listening. Chris.
There's a Chris we just ever got named Chris to
call the show, but he sold out for the day ship.

(28:00):
Did you ready to day shift? Let's say hello to
any meanie money more, cool daddy blind? Hello, cool daddy blind?

Speaker 6 (28:07):
What's going on? Ben?

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Beneath that there is cool daddy?

Speaker 6 (28:12):
I got, I got one question, I got one thing.
I don't know who that was that just called we
must be he must be new because he was ask
some real sports question. But I got one thing to say, Man,
you is an awesome dude on what you're doing, and
I want you to keep doing what you're doing despite
of you can just feeling depressed whatever, but you see

(28:32):
I'm up there shilling listening vibe and I always do
it every night, every night. But I ain't gonna know
Jaz who fled or none of that. You feel me,
But I want to say what I want to say.
One thing on Blind Scott, like the Slurpy. I remember
Cool when you was gonna Cool said something with when
he was talking about them things that they throwing them

(28:54):
curls on the courts, the slurpy. I got this envision,
Blind Scott, one of them things do what they do
on the court. But now you go ahead on and
keep doing what y'all do.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Man, good job, Well, thank you, cool Daddy. And I
liked that you were offended that a guy called up
to talk sports on a sports show. I like that.
That means a lot we're doing something right that the
other callers are upset when someone calls up and does
a sporty call that this is not proper, This is
not what you're supposed to do. What did he say
