2:26
Speaker 1: we survived the weekend and all that. Our lead this
2:28
Speaker 1: hour from the Cowboys. Oh yeah, well why not? So
2:33
Speaker 1: now Dallas played the Rams. I can't get into these
2:36
Speaker 1: exhibition games. I can't. I know there are some people
2:39
Speaker 1: that are better people than me that can talk about
2:41
Speaker 1: these exhibition games. I can't do it. I just I can't.
2:45
Speaker 1: I try to watch two seconds of them. I want
2:47
Speaker 1: to puke in my mouth watching this crap. That being said,
2:51
Speaker 1: that being said, I do have a talk show to
2:53
Speaker 1: do right now. And there are some stories that came
2:55
Speaker 1: out of these exhibition football games. One of them losing
3:00
Speaker 1: to the Rams over the weekend in a practice game,
3:03
Speaker 1: not real game, not real game, a practice game. We
3:07
Speaker 1: Rams won, all right. So quarterback Joe Milton, quarterback Joe Milton,
3:13
Speaker 1: who played for the Patriots last year now with the
3:16
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, and he played in that game, played a
3:20
Speaker 1: lot in that game, did not do anything all that
3:22
Speaker 1: memorable as the QB two for the Cowboys. It was
3:27
Speaker 1: at meh, meh performance for Joe Milton, and that was
3:32
Speaker 1: that left bruising his shoulder in the third quarter, so
3:36
Speaker 1: he left the game early although he was likely going
3:39
Speaker 1: to come out of the game anyway. Around that time.
3:42
Speaker 1: He gave himself a D minus. He gave himself the
3:45
Speaker 1: D the D minus grade on that. However, that's not
3:48
Speaker 1: what I want to chat with you about. It will
3:50
Speaker 1: lead up to that exhibition game. Coaches say the darnedest things.
3:55
Speaker 1: We got a hum dinger, humdinger of a quote from
4:01
Speaker 1: the coach, I say that loosely. Coach in Dallas. If
4:05
Speaker 1: you did not hear what he said, perhaps not. Coach
4:08
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer shotze Brian Schottenheimer describing Joe Milton's passes as
4:15
Speaker 1: quote piss missiles. That's what he said. That's a quote
4:19
Speaker 1: from the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. When speaking
4:22
Speaker 1: to reporters prior to that Cowboy exhibition game with the Rams,
4:26
Speaker 1: he compared his throwing to that of Brett farre the
4:31
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame former Green Bay Packer quarterback. So you
4:35
Speaker 1: know what that means. Let's parse the words. Let's parse
4:38
Speaker 1: the words here of the Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer as
4:44
Speaker 1: we discuss so Brian Schottenheimer up selling obviously upselling backup
4:50
Speaker 1: quarterback Joe Milton, saying that he throws quote piss missiles,
4:56
Speaker 1: compared him to Brett Farv. Is this something or is
5:00
Speaker 1: this nothing? All right? So I've got twister, hot tub,
5:06
Speaker 1: and cinnabun. Cinnabun is so good, And we'll combine all
5:12
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
5:16
Speaker 1: the Gabba Ghoul. We're gonna make the Gabba gol. So a,
5:19
Speaker 1: where's the beef? The first question is where is the beef.
5:24
Speaker 1: This is a burger. It's not an in and out
5:26
Speaker 1: Burger's not a McDonald's burger's not a whopper from Burger King.
5:30
Speaker 1: It is a nothing burger, is what it is. It's
5:34
Speaker 1: your typical coach hype Garbai garbais Listen, how many let
5:43
Speaker 1: me ask a questions, how many quarterbacks have great arm
5:46
Speaker 1: talent in the month of August? How many? The answer
5:52
Speaker 1: all of them? Physically right, They're all listen, they're there,
5:56
Speaker 1: They're in the NFL. They all can make all the
5:59
Speaker 1: throws and all that stuff. So listen, Joe Milton, if
6:02
Speaker 1: you look at the raw ingredients, he's a specimen. He's
6:07
Speaker 1: got the prototypical cannon arm and mobilities, the whole deal,
6:13
Speaker 1: and then some and then some, and the kind of
6:16
Speaker 1: stuff that coaches and scouts get all horny for. They're,
6:18
Speaker 1: oh man, the problem is it's all unprocessed. It is
6:23
Speaker 1: all unprocessed. And you can throw a fastball and just
6:28
Speaker 1: zing it downfield, and it can also go into the
6:31
Speaker 1: fifteenth throw, and that's great. Can you consistently read the
6:37
Speaker 1: defense and find the open receiver and all that? Can
6:40
Speaker 1: you hit the open player more importantly underneath, when it's
6:44
Speaker 1: third down and four or are you one of those
6:47
Speaker 1: checked down Charlie guys, when it is I say third
6:49
Speaker 1: and seven, and you complete a pass at the line
6:53
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and then it gets five yards, so you
6:56
Speaker 1: come up short, but your completion percentage is good. Milton
6:59
Speaker 1: was least out of New England in part because Drake May,
7:04
Speaker 1: who was the chosen one, the chosen one there with
7:08
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Drake May was uncomfortable, so those around the
7:12
Speaker 1: Patriots said, with Joe Milton. Which is odd because if
7:17
Speaker 1: you look at the resume of the new Cowboy backup
7:20
Speaker 1: quarterback here, Joe Milton, his biggest NFL moment, the thing
7:25
Speaker 1: that stands out on his resume was a believe it
7:28
Speaker 1: was Week eighteen last year, last year when he beat
7:34
Speaker 1: the Buffalo bill backups backups in the final game of
7:38
Speaker 1: the regular season, a meaningless game. That's it. That's the resume.
7:43
Speaker 1: That's all. Now, regardless of that, you can't just overlook
7:46
Speaker 1: the fact. And this is why I'm intrigued by this
7:49
Speaker 1: to a point, not just the great quote from Schottenheimer
7:52
Speaker 1: piss missile describing the throws, but the fact that you've
7:56
Speaker 1: got the incompetent Dakota Prescott has QB won there in Dallas.
8:02
Speaker 1: The man is made of toilet paper. And I'm not
8:05
Speaker 1: talking about Scharman. I'm talking about one plied toilet paper
8:09
Speaker 1: that you see at a truck stop on the side
8:11
Speaker 1: of the Jersey Turnpike. That's what I'm talking about, that
8:14
Speaker 1: one plied toilet paper. He's always hurt. And Jerry Jones
8:17
Speaker 1: knows this. He's aware of this because it happens every
8:21
Speaker 1: year where Dakota Prescott gets hurt. So Jerry Jones is
8:24
Speaker 1: out there playing twister. Now nobody wants to see Jerry
8:27
Speaker 1: Jones play twister. But Joe Milton is one twisted ankle
8:32
Speaker 1: or twisted knee or you know, tweaked elbow away from
8:37
Speaker 1: playing in the regular season for the Dallas Cowboys. And
8:41
Speaker 1: while again piss missile, great quote, really good quote, wonderful. However,
8:46
Speaker 1: Joe Milton, if you look at the comparison, it's like, well,
8:51
Speaker 1: he certainly more of a JaMarcus Russell, although Russell was
8:54
Speaker 1: the number one over of the old Oakland Raiders. I'm
8:59
Speaker 1: old I remember the played in Oakland, and Brett Farv
9:04
Speaker 1: certainly nowhere near Brett farrv Joe Milton in that category. Now,
9:08
Speaker 1: we would enjoy, we would absolutely enjoy watching him play
9:12
Speaker 1: in real game. Now. Why is that, I'll tell you
9:16
Speaker 1: because of chaos with a capital C. Chaos with a
9:21
Speaker 1: capital C here it could be awesome, right, real games.
9:26
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of intrigue there. Why not
9:30
Speaker 1: see what he can do? But for now, we're doing
9:32
Speaker 1: the show right now. For now, this is just a
9:36
Speaker 1: nice puffy pastry in August, a nice delicious pastry served
9:42
Speaker 1: up in August, and Brian Schottenheimer trying to build up
9:45
Speaker 1: the player and give him some false confidence and all that,
9:49
Speaker 1: and that's really what he's going for here. Now we
9:50
Speaker 1: will revisit this. We're gonna file this one away. We're
9:53
Speaker 1: gonna revisit this around week three when Dak Prescott feels
9:58
Speaker 1: a twinge in his hamstring, and then we'll revisit all
10:01
Speaker 1: this now. Page two, staying though, staying in Jerry's world
10:08
Speaker 1: because we had a wonderful mall mate, a wonderful moment.
10:12
Speaker 1: I did not see this live, but let me set
10:14
Speaker 1: the scene here for you. So again, Cowboys preseason Cowboys
10:19
Speaker 1: playing a nothing game against the Rams in the hood
10:24
Speaker 1: in Inglewood on Saturday and Ceedee Lamb. That's a high
10:29
Speaker 1: paid wide receiver, not an actual Lamb, a football player
10:32
Speaker 1: named Lamb, Ceedee Lamb. So Ceedee Lamb doesn't even play
10:36
Speaker 1: in the game. Why would he. He's a star, he's
10:38
Speaker 1: a diva. Divas don't play. Stars don't play in these
10:41
Speaker 1: first exhibition games. So fine, he didn't play in the game,
10:45
Speaker 1: but he's there. He doesn't take a snap in the game.
10:48
Speaker 1: He's not wearing a uniform. You're not able to take
10:51
Speaker 1: a snap. And so somehow, some way, this player, Ceedee Lamb,
10:58
Speaker 1: somehow manages to get the biggest hit of the game.
11:01
Speaker 1: He was involved in the biggest end of the game.
11:03
Speaker 1: Well how did he do that? I don't understand, all right,
11:06
Speaker 1: So without even being in uniform again, we'll go back
11:09
Speaker 1: to Joe Milton, the backup quarterback who played a lot
11:12
Speaker 1: because this was an exhibition game. So Joe Milton is
11:15
Speaker 1: in there, and he unquirks a deep pass down the
11:19
Speaker 1: sideline to someone named Jonathan Mingo to the Mingo down
11:24
Speaker 1: the sidelines, and Lamb who is standing there right on
11:28
Speaker 1: that white painted area and that stripe on the sidelines
11:32
Speaker 1: where you're not allowed to be that literally is the
11:34
Speaker 1: get out of the way zone in football. And so
11:38
Speaker 1: he's in the lane where the officials are running down
11:41
Speaker 1: the field, and sure enough he starts celebrating like this
11:44
Speaker 1: is the super Bowl. Of course, playing for the Cowboys,
11:46
Speaker 1: they don't actually get to the Super Bowl, so you
11:48
Speaker 1: have to celebrate these kind of things. And so he
11:50
Speaker 1: was so engaged, so caught up into the moment. How
11:54
Speaker 1: caught up was he, Ceede Limb. He was so caught
11:56
Speaker 1: up he did not notice in his peripheral vision in
12:00
Speaker 1: a bad situational awareness, did not notice the side judge
12:04
Speaker 1: barely down the sideline in full sprint and ca boom
12:12
Speaker 1: a cup boom. It was great, obliterated the side a
12:17
Speaker 1: sideline judge there obliterated Ceedee Lamb from behind blind side
12:23
Speaker 1: hit pancake in Madden on the blind side. Fifteen yard
12:29
Speaker 1: penalty for the Cowboys for unsportsmanlike conduct. And it's good
12:35
Speaker 1: to know that the coaches have changed, that the calendar
12:40
Speaker 1: has changed, all of this has changed, all of this
12:44
Speaker 1: has changed, and yet here we are. So my reaction
12:48
Speaker 1: to that particular place, well, yes it was entertaining. It
12:52
Speaker 1: was entertaining. I'll give you that but my reaction to
12:54
Speaker 1: the cowboy wide receiver ceed Lamb being trucked in a
12:59
Speaker 1: exit bishing game that he didn't even play in. I
13:03
Speaker 1: loved it. This was exactly exactly the kind of dopey
13:10
Speaker 1: stuff that the preseason is four. That was my first thought. Here,
13:14
Speaker 1: what a bonehead move. And you can't keep your third
13:20
Speaker 1: or fourth or fifth string this guy and that guy
13:23
Speaker 1: and these battles. You know, some people into that kind
13:27
Speaker 1: of stuff, the analytical crowds into that. Give me an
13:32
Speaker 1: all pro level player in street close getting bulldozed by
13:39
Speaker 1: a referee any day. NFL films, you know what they
13:43
Speaker 1: need to do. They need to go in the hot
13:45
Speaker 1: tub time machine. Go into the hot tub time machine
13:48
Speaker 1: and bring back the classic, old school NFL's Greatest follies.
13:54
Speaker 1: Bring that back and you can just stream it. You
13:57
Speaker 1: don't have to do the DVD. You don't have to
13:59
Speaker 1: do obviously the VHS that's old tech. But you can
14:02
Speaker 1: bring back NFL's Greatest follies and slap Ceedee Lamb in
14:06
Speaker 1: there right in between the mascot falling off the ATV
14:12
Speaker 1: always a classic, always very entertaining. The quarterback who lines
14:17
Speaker 1: up behind the guard not realizing where they are on
14:21
Speaker 1: the field. That's also very entertaining. Put the Dunce cap
14:24
Speaker 1: on him, and CD seemed to appreciate the fact that
14:27
Speaker 1: he was the butt of the joke. After the game,
14:31
Speaker 1: and I'm push you can have all the follies, the
14:33
Speaker 1: usual follies, the fumbles, the ball bouncing off a player's helmet,
14:39
Speaker 1: all that stuff just bobbled passes here, there and everywhere.
14:45
Speaker 1: You know, guys slipping on the logo. And now you
14:49
Speaker 1: can add ceedee lamb the Cowboy player not in uniform
14:54
Speaker 1: and taking a shoulder from the side judge there like
14:59
Speaker 1: he's running the Oklahoma drill. And it was very very
15:02
Speaker 1: inut attending so instant classic and the rookie sock puppet
15:06
Speaker 1: coach Brian Schottenheimer out there saying that CD knows better,
15:11
Speaker 1: he knows better, and that is the Dallas Cowboys in
15:14
Speaker 1: a nutshell. As we said, things change, the calendar changes,
15:19
Speaker 1: the names change, the coaches changed, and all that. But
15:22
Speaker 1: even in August, even in August, they're still drawing thumb
15:25
Speaker 1: penalties for nothing, for nothing at all, preseason or regular season.
15:32
Speaker 1: You can count on Dallas for one thing, entertainment at
15:36
Speaker 1: their own expense, and they did it yet again. Now
15:39
Speaker 1: turn the page on that last word. We go to Cleveland,
15:44
Speaker 1: the Mistake by the Lake, That is where Shadur Sanders,
15:47
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback Brownies out there over the weekend they played
15:53
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Also, of course, all these games meaningless exhibition
15:56
Speaker 1: games and all that stuff, and he apparently it was
15:59
Speaker 1: very good. The numbers were good by all accounts, So
16:02
Speaker 1: should ear Sanders went out there and looked like he
16:04
Speaker 1: was back in Colorado and he was playing Colorado State
16:09
Speaker 1: or Texas Tech and lighting up the stat sheet, except
16:12
Speaker 1: he was wearing an NFL uniform and lighting up the
16:15
Speaker 1: stat sheet in this game. That was not the story here. No, no, no, no,
16:20
Speaker 1: that's not the story. The story here happened after the game,
16:25
Speaker 1: not during the game, but after the game. And if
16:29
Speaker 1: you saw this or heard about it, you know where
16:31
Speaker 1: I'm going with this. Maybe not, he meaning Shuldar Sanders confronted,
16:36
Speaker 1: confronted a long time Cleveland sports radio gas bag. And
16:43
Speaker 1: I guess this guy works on the Browns broadcasts as well.
16:45
Speaker 1: During the exhibition season in the tunnel, Tony GROSSI longtime
16:51
Speaker 1: Cleveland media guy, and the Sanders was recorded there the
16:56
Speaker 1: message to the sports radio gas bag. The message was
17:00
Speaker 1: you always say negative stuff about me, never seen you
17:06
Speaker 1: say anything positive. That was the gist of the quote.
17:11
Speaker 1: So then you had Dion Sanders come out and he
17:13
Speaker 1: made his comment. He was of course, he's the patriarch
17:17
Speaker 1: of the family. And Dion Sanders insisting that Shudur Sanders
17:20
Speaker 1: tunes out all the media rhetoric, all the noise from
17:23
Speaker 1: the media, does not hear anything, all right, that's what
17:26
Speaker 1: Dion was selling. He's oh no, no, he does not
17:30
Speaker 1: know the narrative, does not know any of that stuff.
17:32
Speaker 1: So what is your verdict? What is your verdict on
17:36
Speaker 1: the Browns rookie quarterback Shoulder Sanders confronting a Cleveland sports
17:42
Speaker 1: radio host over negative commentary about his play. So on
17:48
Speaker 1: this one, as as Big Red would say, quoting Andy Reid,
17:54
Speaker 1: film don't lie, Film don't lie. So if you watch
17:57
Speaker 1: the film or hear the audio from the film, should
18:01
Speaker 1: it was preseason game number one, number one number you
18:06
Speaker 1: shredded guys. Congratulations. Who will be selling insurance or maybe
18:11
Speaker 1: they'll be trying their hand at door dash next one
18:16
Speaker 1: and try to deliver some sandwiches. But it's not the
18:19
Speaker 1: super Bowl is not. I know, based on the prepondence
18:23
Speaker 1: of the evidence, you might think it's the Super Bowl,
18:25
Speaker 1: but it's not, and it is indisputable. It is indisputable.
18:30
Speaker 1: Shoulder is a consumer of sports talk radio, So for that, Bravo,
18:36
Speaker 1: he's listening. And to be perfectly clear, these guys are
18:41
Speaker 1: always listening. And if they're not listening, they have relatives
18:44
Speaker 1: who do listen and monitor everything that is said twenty
18:48
Speaker 1: four hours a day, and they read every word about them.
18:51
Speaker 1: Should there certainly is doing that, which is fine if
18:54
Speaker 1: you're a fan. If you're the quarterback, that's bad news
18:59
Speaker 1: brown is what that is? Bad news Browns here. Now
19:02
Speaker 1: I get the fact. Listen, he's twenty three years old
19:04
Speaker 1: and he grew up in a generation where everyone's got
19:08
Speaker 1: a platform and you got to speak your mind, keep
19:11
Speaker 1: it real, all that stuff right. However, the fact that
19:15
Speaker 1: a rookie, a rookie quarterback, got time to in the
19:19
Speaker 1: bowels of the stadium hunt down the sixty eight year
19:23
Speaker 1: old radio guy in the tunnel not a great look.
19:27
Speaker 1: It screams insecurity, is what. It screams insecurity. And you
19:33
Speaker 1: gotta know time and place, time and place like there's
19:36
Speaker 1: always a camera there and the radio guy. I don't
19:41
Speaker 1: know this guy. I mean, we've talked about it a
19:42
Speaker 1: few times over the years because he's gotten involved in
19:45
Speaker 1: these type of situations. But he's been doing this job
19:49
Speaker 1: for many, many decades. He's old school, he's got a
19:52
Speaker 1: little bit of bite. And younger talk radio hosts they
19:56
Speaker 1: do a lot of lists. They're lazy, they do a
19:58
Speaker 1: lot of lists, and they don't have strong opinions. That's
20:00
Speaker 1: the modern sports talk radio host The old school guys
20:03
Speaker 1: though they would throw fire right, they would have a
20:06
Speaker 1: flamethrow and all that. So I get there's a lot
20:09
Speaker 1: of the social media fanboys out there that are, oh man,
20:12
Speaker 1: should there's the goat because he had good numbers and
20:15
Speaker 1: looked pretty good against a Carolina team backups for Carolina
20:20
Speaker 1: in the first exhibition game, and you know, all excited
20:24
Speaker 1: you completed a slant against a guy who will be
20:27
Speaker 1: working the counter at the cinnabon at the airport in
20:30
Speaker 1: Charlotte in a couple of weeks. And as far as
20:34
Speaker 1: the critic, that's his job. And I go back a
20:36
Speaker 1: refresher course, if you will, a reminder, a reminder, the
20:41
Speaker 1: critic is the unleaded gasoline of sports that you need
20:45
Speaker 1: that fuel, You need that fuel. Without it, the whole
20:49
Speaker 1: thing is just vanilla ice cream. And it's unlistenable. If
20:52
Speaker 1: you've ever heard a boring sports radio host, my god,
20:55
Speaker 1: is there anything worse in the world than someone that's
20:58
Speaker 1: just dull and boar has no opinion. It's horrible. But
21:01
Speaker 1: every athlete, I mean, as long as I've been doing this,
21:03
Speaker 1: every athlete, when they reach a peak, they reach the
21:07
Speaker 1: top of the mountain there, it's always the hater that
21:11
Speaker 1: is brought up. It's the they didn't think we could
21:13
Speaker 1: do it. They didn't believe in us. This person didn't
21:16
Speaker 1: believe in us. And yet they also say, well, I
21:19
Speaker 1: don't listen to the noise and all that stuff. And
21:21
Speaker 1: so Michael Jordan, the greatest ever to play basketball by
21:25
Speaker 1: our country mile over every other stiff out there. Michael
21:29
Speaker 1: Jordan had the slights right. The people have slighted him.
21:33
Speaker 1: Tom Brady had that late round six round draft pick
21:38
Speaker 1: thing that he wore on his shoulder there. And so
21:41
Speaker 1: I guess sder now apparently has the chip with a
21:44
Speaker 1: sports radio guy in Cleveland. So my advice, it's late
21:50
Speaker 1: night radio advice here. Stop acting like a thin skinned
21:55
Speaker 1: Instagram influencer and try to act the part, at least
22:00
Speaker 1: pretend to act a part as an NFL quarterback. And
22:04
Speaker 1: if you want sports radio gas bags, old school guys
22:07
Speaker 1: that still have critique to say something positive about you,
22:11
Speaker 1: then win actual games. Not against Carolina in week one
22:14
Speaker 1: of the exhibition season. We're talking about December. We're talking
22:17
Speaker 1: about dot down the line beating Baltimore in Baltimore out
22:20
Speaker 1: playing Lamar Jackson. Do that and then everyone will be
22:25
Speaker 1: shutting up quicker and faster than you can possibly imagine
22:30
Speaker 1: until then. Until then, these guys will continue to stay
22:34
Speaker 1: in business, and you know, you Shoder can stay mad
22:38
Speaker 1: and angry and all that stuff. And so that's where
22:41
Speaker 1: we are. It is the Ben Maeler Show. If you

Speaker 1: Mouthwash Mike and just meet in front of the fountains
25:28
Speaker 1: of the Blaggie or something like that. Oh my gosh,
25:30
Speaker 1: we can do listine shooters. We could have a lot
25:33
Speaker 1: of fun with Mouthwash Mike. Assuming he's not in jail
25:36
Speaker 1: or in the hospital, we'll have a great time with him.
25:38
Speaker 1: So that'll be coming up August twenty third in Vegas.
25:41
Speaker 1: That's a Saturday. Look forward to that and hopefully you'll
25:45
Speaker 1: be able to attend and be part of the fun
25:49
Speaker 1: and we'll have a grand old time there. As the
25:52
Speaker 1: next Malor Meet and greet in Las Vegas. King Rory
25:56
Speaker 1: writes and says, I agree. The NFL preseason is a tough,
25:59
Speaker 1: tough one. Instead of watching the Packers, I was watching
26:03
Speaker 1: the hottest team, the majors, the Milwaukee Brewers. The sports
26:07
Speaker 1: and the national media seemed to be ignoring them. But
26:12
Speaker 1: they will have all of October to talk about them,
26:16
Speaker 1: says King Rory. The brew crew. And I remember the
26:20
Speaker 1: Brewers started. I think they're one to four to start
26:22
Speaker 1: the year, King Rory, and they got smoked by the Yankees.
26:27
Speaker 1: And the Yankees were using the turbo bat. Remember the
26:30
Speaker 1: turbo bat. There were a lot of dumb people that
26:32
Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, every home run record's gonna
26:33
Speaker 1: be broken. Is that because of the size of the
26:36
Speaker 1: differences the turbo bat, the thickness of the turbo bat.
26:41
Speaker 1: They were very upset about that, and then turned out
26:43
Speaker 1: to be a total zero. We don't even talk about
26:46
Speaker 1: that anymore. It was it was a good story for
26:49
Speaker 1: about ten days. It was a good story, and that
26:51
Speaker 1: was it. But the Brewers, who looked like they had
26:53
Speaker 1: never played baseball before, they just got some guys off
26:55
Speaker 1: the streets, said hey, how would you like to play
26:57
Speaker 1: in the major leagues? And then now they can't be stopped.
27:00
Speaker 1: Now they cannot be stopped, and it's amusing, and I'm
27:04
Speaker 1: guessing King Rory Achie said, you appreciate this. Then now
27:07
Speaker 1: I was watching like the Cardinal Cub game on Sunday
27:11
Speaker 1: night because there was nothing else on. So I'm watching
27:13
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the Cubs. In John Mozillak, the longtime
27:16
Speaker 1: Saint Louis empty suit for the Cardinals, who's watched the
27:19
Speaker 1: demise of the Cardinal franchise, the once proud Cardinal franchise
27:23
Speaker 1: under his executive leadership, and he's like, well, you know,
27:26
Speaker 1: we kind of model herself after the Milwaukee Brewers. The
27:30
Speaker 1: Cardinals what to model themselves after the Milwaukee Boys Shane
27:33
Speaker 1: and de Moyes says, welcome back, Ben. The seat filler
27:36
Speaker 1: left the end of the bench, stepped up to the plate,
27:39
Speaker 1: got walked a C minus and this is welcome back.
27:43
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. Robbie the Mariner fan says,
27:46
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheim are using my favorite phrase is disheartening to
27:50
Speaker 1: say the least. The piss missile should be used to
27:53
Speaker 1: describe cal Raleigh home runs and Josh Allen passes. Not
27:59
Speaker 1: some crap back cowboy, backup, Brian Schottenheimer better not ruined
28:03
Speaker 1: my favorite phrase, so he says. Nature Boy writes in
28:08
Speaker 1: answering the call to the while he says that the
28:12
Speaker 1: term piss missile is better than rectile dysfunction missile, but
28:17
Speaker 1: that'll be coming later. Uncle Mark writes in, and didn't
28:20
Speaker 1: know I did not have an uncle Mark, but I
28:22
Speaker 1: guess I do now. Uncle Mark writes in says teams
28:25
Speaker 1: are walking Otani to get to Mooky. Mookie isn't done,
28:29
Speaker 1: am I in denial? Well, MOOKI, if you haven't watched,
28:34
Speaker 1: has been stealing money for the first one hundred games
28:38
Speaker 1: of the baseball season. I think he's this week He's
28:40
Speaker 1: played better for the Doyers play a little bit better.
28:44
Speaker 1: But you talk about a thief in the night, Mookie Betts,
28:46
Speaker 1: who has been heading the wrong direction. You can look
28:50
Speaker 1: at his three year numbers from twenty twenty three, twenty
28:53
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty twenty five, all the numbers across
28:57
Speaker 1: the board, down, across the board down. You look at hits,
29:00
Speaker 1: you look at extra base hits, home runs, runs batted in,
29:05
Speaker 1: all the key numbers, batting average, your old school stats.
29:09
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets's numbers have gone down. And you're right. The
29:12
Speaker 1: Blue Jays didn't even worry about Mookie Bets. They intentionally
29:16
Speaker 1: walked ough Tani to get to Mookie Bets, and it
29:19
Speaker 1: worked out in the blue jays favor. In that random
29:22
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, there you go, uh Brock right, since
29:27
Speaker 1: it's too bad the Cowboys couldn't have taken Shadur, who
29:31
Speaker 1: grew up in the Dallas area in the fourth round.
29:33
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they traded that pick for Jonathan Mingo. He says,
29:38
Speaker 1: there you go, great, Jonathan Mingo. All right, it is
29:42
Speaker 1: the Ben Maler Show. Let's go to the phones. We'll
29:44
Speaker 1: say hello to Jackson, who's in Seattle. What's going on Jackson.
29:51
Speaker 5: Oh, Ben Maller, So we talked about two months ago,
29:58
Speaker 5: and it was rhether U, right around when cal Rawly
30:01
Speaker 5: had thirty home runs.
30:04
Speaker 1: You remember, yes, I remember everyone that I ever talked to.
30:08
Speaker 1: I am like rain Man. I remember every conversation I
30:12
Speaker 1: have ever had on the radio.
30:14
Speaker 5: Well, we talked about the husbands of sports fans getting
30:22
Speaker 5: mad at you.
30:23
Speaker 1: You remember, yes.
30:25
Speaker 5: Anyways, anyways, Ben Maller, out here you said, you said
30:30
Speaker 5: that the cal Rawly had a chance in hell at
30:34
Speaker 5: winning the MVP when he had twenty nine home runs
30:39
Speaker 5: out here in Seattle. You sent me back to the
30:42
Speaker 5: old McDonald how the.
30:43
Speaker 1: Farm, remember, yes, of course? And so you you now
30:47
Speaker 1: are have you decided? When did they Loraina? When did
30:51
Speaker 1: they vote on the MVP? Did that happen? Was it
30:53
Speaker 1: on Friday? Or was it Thursday? Yeah? When was that?
30:57
Speaker 1: Because this is a victory call from Jackson, And see
31:00
Speaker 1: who's about? Is he about to put the whammy on
31:03
Speaker 1: the big dumpster? Is cal Rawley about to get hurt
31:06
Speaker 1: because Jackson is prematurely celebrating an MVP award? Is he
31:09
Speaker 1: about to jinx the big dumper?
31:12
Speaker 5: My god, Bow, you know what.
31:16
Speaker 1: What I'm just I'm just throwing that out there. I mean,
31:18
Speaker 1: it seems like you're taking a bow.
31:21
Speaker 5: No, it's about take a bow for Eachiroo. Man, he's
31:25
Speaker 5: getting he's getting indoctorated this weekend fifty one, We've got.
31:30
Speaker 1: Guy saw, I saw. This is what you do when
31:33
Speaker 1: you don't have a good team. You you celebrate your
31:36
Speaker 1: old legends of the game. I got you, I know
31:39
Speaker 1: you know what?
31:40
Speaker 5: What what? What? What?
31:43
Speaker 1: What do you want me to do? You're calling up
31:45
Speaker 1: to take a victory lap for a guy to win
31:48
Speaker 1: the MVP who hasn't won the MVP yet. And and oh,
31:50
Speaker 1: by the way, at that time, Aaron Judge hadn't gotten
31:53
Speaker 1: hurt and hadn't gone away for for a couple of
31:56
Speaker 1: weeks or whatever. It was so uh so yes, at
31:59
Speaker 1: the time, yes, all the everything that happened at that
32:01
Speaker 1: time was absolutely spot on. And now things have changed
32:06
Speaker 1: a little bit. However, it's not it's not over by
32:08
Speaker 1: any means. It's not over. And the Seattle Mariners, last
32:13
Speaker 1: I checked, there's still not a playoff team. The Yankees
32:15
Speaker 1: are barely a playoff team at this point.
32:18
Speaker 5: Shum runs ago and you told me that there was
32:21
Speaker 5: a chance in hell that out here, And.
32:26
Speaker 1: Are you repeating you? Are you repeating yourself? Are you
32:28
Speaker 1: not repeating? Retire you been hunting him? Ben? Am I
32:31
Speaker 1: in your head? What part of am I in the
32:33
Speaker 1: front of your head or the back of your head?
32:34
Speaker 1: What part of the head mine the middle? Am I
32:36
Speaker 1: in the middle of your head? And what kind of
32:37
Speaker 1: alcohol are we drinking tonight?
32:40
Speaker 5: Uh? We're on the IPA is but we're talking. We're talking. Uh,
32:46
Speaker 5: southern Seattle. You know, southern Alaska?
32:49
Speaker 1: Remember that's right. Well, Jimmy Johnson famously said, southern southern Alaska.
32:54
Speaker 1: I do one of the great lines in television history. There.
32:57
Speaker 1: They were so upset they had to go to Seattle
32:59
Speaker 1: for the Fox pregame show. They were devastating. Yeah, congratulations Jackson,
33:05
Speaker 1: what a what a great MVP. All right, all right,
33:09
Speaker 1: I'm going to hang up on you. Thank you, Jackson.
33:11
Speaker 1: Enjoy your IPAs there. Do not drive anywhere. There's a
33:15
Speaker 1: Jackson completely sauced in Seattle. He doesn't sound as sauce
33:20
Speaker 1: as that person who said he was driving last week.
33:23
Speaker 5: Well.
33:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, here's the thing. He's at home. He's a
33:27
Speaker 1: professional Jackson. He's he's had a lot of alcohol, a
33:30
Speaker 1: lot of nights drinking, so I hope he's got some
33:32
Speaker 1: snacksh well, if or not, he'll have some delivery, So
33:36
Speaker 1: filling up the tip jar. That would be one billionaire
33:40
Speaker 1: athlete who just won three hundred and eighty nine thousand
33:45
Speaker 1: dollars in prize money finishing in second place at something
33:49
Speaker 1: called the White Marlin Open. That sounds racist, the White
33:52
Speaker 1: Marlin Open. That would be none other than a guy
33:56
Speaker 1: that used to be pretty good at basketball, Michael Jordan.
34:00
Speaker 1: You see this, His airan is Michael Jordan. Over the weekend,
34:04
Speaker 1: the long retired basketball player and bulls legend on an
34:08
Speaker 1: eighty foot yacht named what else but Catch twenty three,
34:11
Speaker 1: took home second place at the White Marlin Open in
34:16
Speaker 1: Ocean City, Maryland this recent recent days here, earning three
34:21
Speaker 1: hundred eighty nine thousand, three hundred and seventy seven dollars
34:24
Speaker 1: in prize money. Now Trey Cricket McMillan from Charleston, South
34:31
Speaker 1: Carolina was the angler for Jordan's boat, called a seventy
34:35
Speaker 1: one pound White Marlin on Saturday over the weekend, so
34:40
Speaker 1: Jordan getting an extra three hundred and eighty nine thousand.
34:44
Speaker 1: The winning boat, Bill Fisher won three point nine to
34:49
Speaker 1: one million in prize money. And that after a seventy
34:54
Speaker 1: two pound marlin. That's a huge, not a not a
34:58
Speaker 1: Florida Marlin or Miami marlond just a regular Maryland Marlon.
35:02
Speaker 1: They're in Ocean City. So that Bill the Bill Fisher boat.
35:08
Speaker 1: They now can say claim, hey we beat six time
35:11
Speaker 1: NBA champion Michael Jordan. And so Jordan, who's got a
35:15
Speaker 1: lot of money and a lot of free time, how
35:17
Speaker 1: about this? Jordan is worth an estimated three point five
35:21
Speaker 1: billion with a B three point five billion, and he's
35:25
Speaker 1: out there futzing around. He gets three hundred and eighty nine.
35:27
Speaker 1: Thus does he just give all of that to the
35:29
Speaker 1: person on the boat who actually caught the fish? Does
35:32
Speaker 1: he keep any of that? I don't know. But there's
35:35
Speaker 1: Jordan there winning second place, getting the silver medal at
35:40
Speaker 1: the Big White Marlin Open. How do you even pick
35:43
Speaker 1: up a fish that big? It's so slippery, very carefully.
35:47
Speaker 1: You have to work out a lot to pick up
35:49
Speaker 1: the fish, and you don't want to drop it. Spock's
35:52
Speaker 1: Weed writes in he's on the Oregon Trail and he says,
35:56
Speaker 1: ipa beer rules there we go for me Ferg Dog says,
36:02
Speaker 1: cal Rawly hasn't locked up anything. Last I checked, Mike
36:05
Speaker 1: Trout is still the American in the American League, and
36:08
Speaker 1: you can never leave him out of the MVP conversation,
36:11
Speaker 1: says Ferg Dog, who's also hitting the IPA. Robbie the
36:15
Speaker 1: Mariner fan says, is that Ed and Spokane's brother or something?
36:18
Speaker 1: And they talked about Jackson. I promise not all big
36:21
Speaker 1: Dumper enthusiasts are that dumb Mariners are currently a wild
36:26
Speaker 1: card team, though, though he says so that is from
36:32
Speaker 1: from the aforementioned Robbie the Mariner fan.
36:38
Speaker 5: Ma.
36:39
Speaker 1: There's four teams all within a few games three games
36:43
Speaker 1: of each other. The Guardians, which is a dumb name,
36:45
Speaker 1: should be the Indians, the Yankees, the Red Sox, and
36:49
Speaker 1: the Mariners are all separated by three games in the
36:52
Speaker 1: loss column. Seattle currently is in lead in the lead
36:55
Speaker 1: in that anyway. All right, it is the Ben Mather show.
36:59
Speaker 1: Time now for the who am I game? And a
37:02
Speaker 1: blatant attempt to suck up to King Rory and all
37:05
Speaker 1: the other cheese heads in Wisconsin and beyond. Pat Murphy.
37:09
Speaker 1: Now he became the first Brewers manager to win manager
37:13
Speaker 1: of the Year last season. He's now the leading candidate
37:18
Speaker 1: to join me as the only manager to win consecutive
37:22
Speaker 1: NL Manager of the Year awards. Pat Murphy or the
37:25
Speaker 1: Brew Crew is the leader to win Manager of the
37:28
Speaker 1: Year this season. He would become the back to back winner,
37:32
Speaker 1: and he would join me as the only manager to
37:35
Speaker 1: win consecutive NL Manager of the Year awards. Who am
37:38
