  Speaker 1: It's awesome. Everyone's fired up in the building. I mean,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I look at the the update desk there, it looks great.

  Speaker 1: the Inster trivia, Mallard of the Third Degree, all that stuff.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: The Mallard you know, I've just put my name on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: everything because I'm a loser. But we're not gonna do
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. We're gonna have the Mallard Palooza. It's here.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I'll explain everything you need to know. We've got our
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: celebrity judge who's gonna join us and help us get
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: through the night. And it's just gonna be a lot
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of fun and we're gonna celebrate you. And I only
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: think everyone that's signed up and we look forward to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that and they're still we'll explain there's some wild card
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: slots that are available, but our beginning, and we're gonna
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: have the Mallard monologues because it's mandated, and then we'll
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: get into the Malle Polusa. So I lead this hour
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: though before the Malapaluza kicks off the World Cup, believe
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it or not, I watched, Yeah I did, it was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on Fox. You better watch you in Atlanta, and there
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: was one slot left in the finale. Now we knew
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the Spaniards had won. They upset France and so there
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was one slot left and if you didn't see it,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: perhaps not. It was a one nothing lead for England
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: getting late, and then England realized, wait a minute, we're
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: artists here, we're choke artists. And sure enough Argentina rallied
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: from a one nothing deficit to defeat England two to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: one in the World Cup semi final. They scored twice
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: in the closing minutes. Now, I don't really watch football
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: other than the World Cup. I don't recall this level
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of choke. It feels like we've seen more choke jobs
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in this World Cup. Now I am I exaggerating that?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Or is this actually a thing? Am I just imagining this?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Either way, the team from Argentina a couple of goals
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: there in the closing minutes, they get to these straight
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: World Cup final. Lionel Messi did it again. He didn't score,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but he assisted on both of Argentina's goals there, continuing
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: his domination situation at age thirty nine. And so the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: defending champions from Argentina now on Americans. So I won
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: win away from becoming just the third nation to successfully
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: defend the World Cup title. And the better story, though,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room and I don't care
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: whether it's England Zimbabwe. I love choke. I love people
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that choke, and boy, I guess I should move to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: England with legally blind Christopher and Terry in England and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: those guys and just enjoy the epic choke because the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: team from England. Wait, man, counting down, you're running me
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit of I was in here years ago
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: there was a team called the Chicago Cubs. That's a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: baseball team, not good one. And the Cubs were a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: few outs away from getting to the World Series and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I think it was three and we were counting it
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: down and then they choked because this guy named Steve
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Bartman who wore a turtleneck and headphones interfered and the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Cubs collapsed and all that. Anyway, it's a similar vibe.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So Harry Kane, the captain of England, admitted after the game,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: obviously not during the game, that they played way too conservative.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: After they took the lease up one nothing, they were
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: just trying to hold on and they pointed out in
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the World Cup that is not that's not enough. You
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: can't play that way. And then some guy I've never
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: heard of who's the manager we like to call coach
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: of the English team there he was getting killed by
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the soccer media. They were killing this guy for his
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: strategical decisions, his tactical changes that he made. He of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: course defended that and said he had no regrets, no regrets,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and acknowledged the team became too passive after that that goal.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. If you saw
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the World Cup here, let's discuss the question. Was this
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a great Argentina comeback or a monumental English choke job
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in the World Cup game there in Atlanta. So my thoughts,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I've got neurosurgeon, chocolate, truffles and panhandling, and we will
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're gonna make
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: some bangers and mash. Baby, isn't that authentic English food? Right?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Bangers and mash? That's what you people in England love
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and fish and chips, all right. So A, in order
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to dissect this, we have dusted off the Mallard decoder
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: ring and it points directly at England with a capital E.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be a die hard fan of
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the beautiful game as you people call it to know
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: what happened. Okay, Harrycane and his squad played even I know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and I'm an amateur watching this stuff so tight that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: they had their spinter needed to be checked there. The
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Bank of England actually contacted them and they were asking
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: for tips. They were so tight tight there with their play.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And they didn't just turtle. I mean that's the term,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: right when you play a little scared you turtle up
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. They became the turtle's emotional support animal.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: That's how That's how bad it was. They're standing around,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I think they were waiting for an uber or a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: lift or something like that, and they went down to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the day spall right there. I didn't know they had
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that at the stadium in Atlanta, and they took a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: cold plunge at the absolute worst time. You cannot take
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a cold plunge there. So they not only pre choked,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: they mid choked, and yes, they post choked. That's a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: lot of choke. It's a lot of choke. Writing the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Vomit comic as they did the Vomit Comet, they took
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a second lap on the Vomit Comet, which is impressive.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So when it was nut cutting time, it really became
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: nut cutting time. Because the neurosurgeon, Lionel Messi, I didn't
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: know he was a neurosurgeon, but he stepped up and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he handed out unsolicited well he vasectomies for the English team.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: The squad there appeared to be completely castrated as they
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: co signed a Now they get to what meetingless they
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: played this third place game. You imagine if they did
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that in American sports, the players wouldn't show up. If
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they did that in America. Can you imagine, like you
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: lose in the conference finals and you have to go
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: play another tournament. It's one game, but still so they
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: have a third place match against France that'll take place,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and so just another pathetic, leather bound chapter, dusty book,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: leather bound of we swear we're close of English soccer.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: There so the agony continues since nineteen sixty six, which
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I'm told is a long time ago, and they got
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: nobody to blame on this one other than the man
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: in the mirror. Now to a friend of mine called
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the gambling market. We now go to the gambling market
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: where we go back to France's two nothing semi final
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: loss to Spain, which it turns out was a major
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: financial windfall for the sports books who are taking your
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: action on this World Cup. France had been one of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the most heavily favored and back teams in the twenty
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: twenty six FIFA World Cup, and several books I was
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: reading about this, several of the books reporting that France
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: entered the semi final as their biggest liability, meaning if
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: they had won, they would have been screwed the bookie,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and so that was their big liability there. And as
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it turns out if obviously France didn't win the title
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: would have if they had, it would have been a
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: significant payout by the bookies to the public. So the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: question what stands out about this reporting about these sports
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: books celebrating France's upset loss in the World Cup there
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to Spain. So the sports books, I imagine in the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: cartoon bubble in my head, they were popping champagne over
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the loss by France there to Spain, and they probably
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I would think, would go on one of the websites there
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: in order up for Imbope or as Poppy call them, imape, right,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Gillian Impope, give them a massive box of chocolate truffles
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and just spectacular, as he said, they played sloppy France
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: played sloppy there and that match. What it did, though,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: is it put a Neon highlighter, Neon marker highlighter there
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: on the And I've talked about this a lot during
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: football season. Is another example the eternal disconnect between public
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: sentiment and risk management of the sports book. Like France
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: rolled in. I remember that penitential of the World Cup here.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: We talked more about it than I ever imagined. But
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: unbeaten high scoring, they were a public darling, and the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: betting public did what they always do. A bunch of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you a bet with your hearts, and you piled on
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: this clamorous favorite. The media darling's getting a lot of
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: attention and Bape was getting all kinds of love. And
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: so France losing it really turned out to be a
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: stimulus package for the sports books entirely funded by you,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the public, so they should thank you as well. And
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: if you actually want to make money, and I used
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to do a TV show called Benny Versus the Penny
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: for a couple of years, and we talked about this
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: occasionally when I had time when Looney wasn't talking. But
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the point of that was, if you really want to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: make money, have to go away from the glamour. You
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: don't want to be with the bedazzled. You want to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: be with the ugly. That's what you want to be
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: generally speaking. Now it doesn't always work out in the end,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: it will work out, but generally speaking, you want to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: be on the side of the house. And there are
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: ways to find out. There are places you can go
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to find out where the money is. And they win, right,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: they win more than the public because the public can't
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: help themselves. They can't. So not the wise guys are
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: forth licking their chops here and they're ready to root
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: against another massive favorite in the World Cup finale, the
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: public favorite Argentina, as they will face Spain shortly here
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: for the World Cup title. Now the last word. With
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: all of this winding down, down, down, down, down down down,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the World Cup winding down, the soccer executives are now
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: focused on brainwashing you. This is the new effort, right
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and we've seen huge ratings on Fox. The interest level
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: is rather large for this World Cup, and so they're
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: trying to turn that into long term fandom for you.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: And I guess for me, not gonna work for me,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: maybe for you. And so they don't want this just
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to be a one time event, the World Cup, and
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: so the executives like, well, we want to bottle up
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the excitement. So now entering the chat, Major League Soccer
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: better known by their gangster name MLS. As you might
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: have seen these commercials they have launched. Fanks World will
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: take it from here is the slogan they're using. Describe
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: as the largest coordinated marketing campaign in the history of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: soccer in America. And they've got Lionel Messi, Diego Luna,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: some celebrity types, Magic Johnson, Matthew McConaughey and others who
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: had those got actually own parts of MLS teams. And
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the goal is to convert the casual, the great unwashed
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: who have been watching the World Cup into MLS die
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: hard supporters. In fact, they're even offering first match free
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: first match tickets. They're giving away free tickets, complementary Apple
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: TV access for people that have no idea where MLS
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: games are on TV, and other promotions trying to get
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: people in. So the question you make the call, what's
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: your long term forecast on the MLS marketing pushed convert
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: World Cup fans into MLS fans, So I will tell you.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: The campaign is well done. I don't know the marketing
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: firm that's behind it, whoever it is on Madison Avenue.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: They really did a good job. I thought the commercials
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: are smooth and they pop. They're good. The problem is
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the elevator pitch. It is in football, American football would
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: be the Hail Mary play. The conversion rate is low.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: As I know from doing the radio show. It is
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: much easier to keep the listeners that you have than
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to get new people to listen. Just like in any business,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: it's much easier to keep the customers happy that you
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: have rather than get new customers. One of the reasons
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: like if you call the cable company if you still
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: have cable, if you're a dinosaur and you bitch at
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the cable company, they will often lower your price because
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: they know it's much easier to keep you and much
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: more difficult to bring somebody new in to replace you.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It's just basic business, one oh one. And so the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: MLS big shots think they can convert seemingly millions of men,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: women and children in America to new viewers into lifetime
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: fans of the MLS and all that, and I expect
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: just a temporary tick just a little spike, just a
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: little spike, and that's it. Now, maybe they can convince
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: some of the kids that's really what you get the kids,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: because they'll you know, it's like the Happy Meal thing.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: The greatest thing ever for any restaurant was McDonald's Happy Meal.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You know, guys like me, you know, I remember the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Happy Meal came out. Oh great, you know, it's free toy,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: wonderful and even when you're an old fart, you still
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: go back. You're like, you romanticize that it's great. Uh.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: But to me, that the whole marketing campaign, and am
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I nitpicking properly? It seems like it's like weed man,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: hippie panhandling. They're like begging you. They're like, come on,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: come on, watch our sport. Come on, yeah, okay, uh.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: And the World Cup appeals to casuals people like me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not diehard soccer person. Most Americans only watch soccer
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: when the flag is involved. They can wrap themselves in
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: their flag, in the US flag, or if your your
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: family's from somewhere else and you got you know, you
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: did the DNA test, you got he got a lot
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: of family from there, all right, that's the thing. And
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: they don't care about cheesy celebrity owners. I don't care
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: about that. And so the MLF, the MLS growth, I
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: feel like it's stopped the moment they signed that deal
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: with Apple TV. The most important thing is broadcasting. I always
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: said broadcasting, not narrowcasting, broadcast. And so even hard O's
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: soccer fans are like, why are we watching this? The
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Premier League is so much better, and you all tell
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: me that every top American player is any good. The
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: first chance they get they bolt to Europe because they
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: can earn more money. The second they can get out
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and they go. And so the MLS is fighting for relevance.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: So it's like they're competing with pick a ball. That's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: what they're competing with. It is The Ben Maler Show,

• 22:21
  Speaker 1: didn't make the podcast show audio rondev This is a
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: retired caller that is Anthony and Anaheim. He sold out
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to have a family. How dare him? How dare him
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: choose and I believe I was told by I think
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: it was it was a justin insist and somebody told
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: me that he's got more kids now than Antonio Cramarti.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: So he's been very productive at repopulating society. Our buddy
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Anthony and his wife hates the show. That's also reason
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it is the Ben Malor show. It's Malard Polus and I.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: We're about to begin the festivities and it's very exciting.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: You can be part of this on X at Ben
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Mahler and when not taking any regular calls, I do
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: not believe, so don't worry about that. And you can
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: also say a little Lorrain a FSR tech queen, I do,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: don't talk to me. And Koobloop a Bronco fan. That's
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: all Bronco fan. All right, back to it we go.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Some instant reaction, Femi says Ben, I know at least
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: one fan soccer won over, even if temporarily. Big Ben
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Mallard could feel the pain in your voice when Team
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: USA lost. What MLS needs is NFL like Brandon IOC
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown drama. Well yeah, sure, absolutely, analog Ol says,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: one more soccer game, a third place game only good
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: for wagering, then it is over. Chipping the Q says
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: eight plus on the monologue World Cup cannot be over
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: fast enough for me. Sorry, but anyone over the age
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of eight who still plays soccer makes me roll my eyes,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: says Chip and the cues. I think anyone older than
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: eight does so because they can't play any of the
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: sport well enough, all right, Late night drug tester says,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the only thing I know about Argentina is what my
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: granddad told me, that they're great at soccer and hiding
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: losers from World War Two. Yeah, I've heard that too.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: A lot of the German Nazi guys went over to Argentina.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Suppose that's the legend that I read. Anyway, all right,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: enough of that. Do we have anything like an open
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Do we have an oar?
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: The spotlights on you now, lady to shine?

  Speaker 1: you as fellow members of the Malard Militia. Step Ride Up,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Step Ride Up, Fun for all. Welcome to the biggest,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: big top of them all on overnight Radio. That's right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: it's the Maler Palooza twenty twenty six. Think of it
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: like Benny's all you can eat buffet of nonsense, where
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: logic takes a coffee breaking out that I drink coffee
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and entertainment. It's good walking the tightrope without a safety night.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Be very careful. Forget about the elephants. We're not allowed
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to have those in studio all because Doc Mike sent
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: me up bloody GoAhead years ago. So no animals are
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: allowed in the studio. No lion tamers tonight right now
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: here we go. You are the main attraction. We celebrate
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you all right from every corner of America and beyond,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: hidden under the cover of darkness. And I say this
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: every year. Some of the most talented men, women and
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: even kids I have gathered here and it's one glorious
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: mission to entertain the masses. Many of them will fail.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: The effort will be the same, though the effort will
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: be the same. We've got original song parodies lined up
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: We've got some recorded, some live acts, and some of
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: these things will get stuck in your head. There will
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: be moments that happen on the Malard Polus at twenty
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: twenty six that we'll be talking about years from now.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: That's what kind of magic we have on the airways
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: of the Ben Malor Show here on Fox. We've got
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: spot on impersonations. Who remembers Ozzy Guy. Remember Ozzy Guy. Yeah,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: if you're a longtime listener, you know Ozzy Guy. Amazing.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: We'll have comedy that will be terrible, but we'll try
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: to laugh at it and you'll be scratching your head.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Some of it will be good. There'll be some good
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: jokes there. We'll have surprise celebrity appearances. It's think of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: it like a kitchen sink show, if you will. If
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it can fit through the radio, we're throwing it at
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the you. We're throwing it at you pretty much everything.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: There's really no editing process in terms of getting rid
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: of some people. We let anyone on. Every performer will
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: get up to two minutes. Now, we want this to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: be shorter, but up to two minutes. No more than
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: two minutes. And he said, well, two minutes is not
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: that long. Trust me. Think of it like you know
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: how they say dog years. Dogs age more than people will.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: The time on radio goes slower for most people if
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you're not used to doing this. So two minutes might
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: not seem like a lot, it's very valuable. You're going
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: to reach a lot of people. We're on over six
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: hundred radio stations. We're on the Sirius XM Fox Sports
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Radio channel, broadcasting live there. This show's carried on the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: American Forces Network, so we reach our military heroes and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: their families all around the globe. We've got a worldwide stage. Baby,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: We're up for some We're on radio stations in Perth,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Australia and other random places. I don't even know how
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: that works. It just very odd. So now keeping law
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: and order, as I set up this masterpiece keeping law
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and order in this traveling the audio fun we have
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: our esteem panel of judges. Now, of course that would
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: be yours truly. Hi, my name is Ben, the lovable
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Radio Rascal Coop a loop right over there, and there
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: is and the Queen of the show, that's right, the
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: f SR Tech Queen La Reina. Why Hi, bed glind
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: to be here tonight and making his triumphant return. And
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I don't see my computer's still dark, so I don't
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: know if he's on hold or not. But our friend and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: classically trained pianist and genuine musician inca terror from New York.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: So I think you're like equal parts Simon Cowell, P. T.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Barnum and that weird uncle that shows up at like
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and other festivities, and of course you you will
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: be part of So the way this normally works, we
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: will vote for the top three or four at its four,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the top whoever's in the top four. We will then
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: go to the vote of the people, so we will
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: have a winner. We will dictate the studio vote and
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: that will be one winner, and then we'll toss it
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: out to you and you'll be able to vote and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: help decide who the people's choice is. Can I be
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the Simon Cowell? Sure? Why are you rude? Are you
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: hold big stick?
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: All?
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Right? Well? Yes? And but yeah, you're the peanut gallery,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: You're the upper balcony. You can throw raspberries and we
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: will get real time feedback. One of the fun things
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: about listening live and one of the reasons that we
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: have a bigger live audience. A lot of people listening
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: on the podcast is because you can give real time
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: feedback on x at ben Mallor. You can cheer, you
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: can boo the whole thing and grown. And there will
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: be acts that don't work and unfortunately they will be
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: gonged off the show. They will be gogged off the show.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: So we we say like audience participation isn't encouraged, it's mandatory.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: It's mandatory. So it takes an entire village to build
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the first class cheeseball variety radio show. New stars will
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: be born, new stars will be born here in the
• 29:47

• 31:05
  Speaker 1: if you're in this thing and you want to buy one,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I think Dorko is going to sell a few of them.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: So he'll let you know when he calls in later on.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So the judging INCA, I just kind of give you
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: a brief. And I know I'm going long here, and
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I know I shouldn't be going long, and I'm going
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: a long. But the way I'm going to judge because
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: people want to know, how do you judge? And I
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: talked about this on the Fifth Hour podcast over the weekend.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I said, here's how I'm gonna judge. And then the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: way it works on a scale of one to ten,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: we're all going to go one to ten. Yes, we
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: all agree on that, one to ten. Everyone yes in Kota. Yes,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: all right, all right, So entertainment wow factor, do you
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: captivate the lister? That's entertainment quality? Do you actually have
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: any talent? Do you have any skill? Right, you're a
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: trained musician in Kotera, so you would know better than
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: me about that.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. Yes.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I'm a big originality guy. I love original stuff, you know,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and you can put your twist on it. I used
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: on the on the Fifth Hour podcast every week and
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I talked about the song parodies. The most famous song
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: parody guy of all time who, for some reason I'm
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: blanking on his name, But what's the guy's name? He
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: did the Polish? Yeah, weird Al Yankevis, weird Al Yankovic.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: And also delivery. Delivery is a big part of it
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: as well stage presence. So the way I'm gonna score,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: and you guys can have your own criteria, nine ten
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: or above means a memorable performance, flawless, entertaining, we're hooting
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and hollering, we're laughing, we loved it. Seven to eight
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty good, highly entertained. Might have been a few
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: things that could have been better. Five to six is
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: just competent average, Okay, you were good, not great, and
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: then anything below that not great. Three to four didn't
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: really prepare, Like hollering, James, I'm sure we'll be the guy.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: And then ain't below that just I mean, you're getting goned,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: you're getting gomed, all right, So we all agree on that. Yes,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: that's my mantra. So any thoughts in kata before we
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: paused with the cause and then begin the festivities.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Here, I just wanted to say, like a sign of
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: from experience, that with these classical, prestigious competitions, often the
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: most memorable people are not the first place winner. So
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: there's a chance for anyone in this competition, and I'm
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: looking forward to that.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: It's a great point, and I should have said that
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: because one of the more famous acts is Hey Mona,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and she did not Kathy and Madison did not win,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: but she's become a star over the years.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: Win.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: She didn't win, but that song, we loved it. She
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: became a legend on the show, Kathy and Madison because
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: of Hey Mona. And it's moments like that was Kathy
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: sitting at her retirement home in Madison, Wisconsin and with
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the you know, just playing a little ditty and become legendary.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: All right, So that's it, everyone, I got. I got
• 34:07

  Speaker 1: Are you doing, Andrew well?
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: When I was.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Well, I was having difficulty with my Christian faith and evolutions.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: So I'm going to quote a British Christian rapper. He said,
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: it takes more faith to believe in evolution because it's
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: a theory whose evidence has been disproven. Okay, now here's
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: the song. It's about Jesus. I saw him marking.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Down the road.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: He warsandle I saw the dust from his feet. It
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: was so real.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, full game.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: My debt is that for game Lord?
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Alright, alright, alright, you know we love God. That was
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: more dedication to Jesus or to the devil rather. All right,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: let's go to the judges' scorecards here. Well, first of all,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Andrew wasted. He wasted about forty seconds talking about the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: World Cup and whatever else he had there. He is
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: first up, though it's always difficult to go first on
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: the scale that we gave one to ten for the
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: malor palooza. I don't want to take too long because
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: we can't get other people on here. Was it original?
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: The skill level was terrible. Was it entertaining if you
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: enjoy shottenfreude? Was the delivery good? Absolutely not. I am
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: gonna start how many fair? I'm not gonna be a jerk.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I like Andrew a lot. I'm gonna give him a
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: minus seven. I'm gonna give him a minus seven ink
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: of terror? What do you think?
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: I felt a little sorry for Jesus. I like Jesus too,
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: and it was a bit pitchy, pitchy, but you know,
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: he was the first step, So I give him a
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: three three?
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: All right, lorrain, and how'd you score it? He honestly
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: had stronger vocals than I was expecting. Like, I was
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: impressed with his vocal I thought that was pretty good. Yeah,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: you need to get you need to get in and
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: go in faster. So I'm gonna I'm gonna give him
• 38:16
