Speaker 1: Boom Shaka Laka. It's our name bird to a mind
0:07
Speaker 1: boggling our number two. As we look into the crystal ball,
0:10
Speaker 1: what are the most likely outcome? What is the most
0:13
Speaker 1: likely outcome for Russell Wilson with the twenty twenty five
0:16
Speaker 1: New York Football Giants. There are conflicting reports on his situation. Also,
0:22
Speaker 1: how much stalk do you put on the endorsement from
0:26
Speaker 1: Jaden and Daniels and his endorsement of Deebo Samuel with
0:32
Speaker 1: the Commanders. We'll talk about that. And in baseball, Dodgers
0:34
Speaker 1: left hander Clayton Kershaw reaching three thousand strikeouts at the
0:40
Speaker 1: Ravine in La with many convinced that he will be
0:44
Speaker 1: the last pitcher to reach that number of three thousand strikeouts?
0:49
Speaker 1: Is this an overreaction or a smart take? We'll talk
0:54
Speaker 1: about all of those stories and more right now here.
0:58
Speaker 1: It is also Mallard of the third. It's our number two.
1:03
Speaker 1: The Hontingmoon period about to come to an end. Welcome
1:08
Speaker 1: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
1:13
Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere, socializing as we are
1:20
Speaker 1: all too human, coast to coast, border to border and
1:24
Speaker 1: beyond on the vast and unfathomably powerful microphones of FSR
1:31
Speaker 1: amminating live from the bell as we ring the bell
1:36
Speaker 1: all night long from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as
1:40
Speaker 1: approved by Spaccoli, who listens every single day, not at night,
1:46
Speaker 1: but during the day there from just down the street
1:49
Speaker 1: from Bill Belichick in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. And this
1:53
Speaker 1: portion of the show made possible by our friends at
1:55
Speaker 1: ty Iraq. For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping
1:59
Speaker 1: customers find the right tires for how, what and where
2:02
Speaker 1: they drive, ship fast and free back by free road
2:06
Speaker 1: hazard protection. I see you shaking your head, nodding your head, yes,
2:10
Speaker 1: Alf and there's a ferg dog given a high five.
2:13
Speaker 1: With convenient installation options approved by Malaprop Guy like multile
2:17
Speaker 1: Tire Installation, tire iraq dot com the way tire buying
2:22
Speaker 1: should be. So we are heading into the big holiday
2:24
Speaker 1: weekend July fourth, tomorrow. Tomorrow doesn't seem like it's football,
2:30
Speaker 1: but we are closing in on the beginning of training
2:34
Speaker 1: camp and that is our lead. Our lead is from
2:37
Speaker 1: this hour from the NFL rookies will start showing up
2:40
Speaker 1: the camp in less than two weeks. Less than two
2:44
Speaker 1: weeks away from training camp opening up for rookies in
2:46
Speaker 1: the NFL. Now one of the teams that is expected
2:49
Speaker 1: to blow this year the Giants. The Giants have been
2:53
Speaker 1: good in a long time, and the rookies will report
2:58
Speaker 1: in like twelve days and then a few days after
3:00
Speaker 1: that the veterans are going to show up. Now, there's
3:02
Speaker 1: been a lot of noise about who's going to play
3:05
Speaker 1: quarterback QB one for the team that calls themselves the
3:10
Speaker 1: New York Giants, even though they play in New Jersey.
3:12
Speaker 1: So if you have not been following, perhaps not. The
3:15
Speaker 1: Giants general manager Joe Shane said somewhat recently that Russell
3:20
Speaker 1: Wilson brings to the Giants something they haven't had since
3:25
Speaker 1: Elijah Manning, so that he was really buttering the biscuits
3:29
Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson, who came over from Pittsburgh. And then
3:32
Speaker 1: you add state sponsored NFL media say that it is
3:36
Speaker 1: not a matter of if, not a matter of if
3:41
Speaker 1: that rookie quarterback Jackson Dart will replace Russell Wilson. It's
3:46
Speaker 1: simply a matter of when is it week five? Is
3:49
Speaker 1: it week six? Is it week seven? Week get when
3:51
Speaker 1: is it gonna happen? So let us discuss the question
3:54
Speaker 1: looking into the crystal ball, what's the most likely outcome?
4:00
Speaker 1: Most likely outcome for Russell Wilson with the twenty twenty
4:05
Speaker 1: five New York Football Giants. So I've got Expedia, Summer
4:11
Speaker 1: TV Classic and country Gospel, and we will combine all
4:16
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
4:20
Speaker 1: a delicious HOGI a delicious hogy. So number W, I said,
4:28
Speaker 1: number yeah, Yeah. It's just some malor math. As you
4:31
Speaker 1: know on my distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of
4:34
Speaker 1: nostra Denas. He lives in Seattle, where Russell Wilson toiled
4:38
Speaker 1: at quarterback for the Seahawks back in the day. So Russ,
4:41
Speaker 1: if my math is correct, is now in the last
4:43
Speaker 1: five years. Russ is playing for his fourth team in
4:48
Speaker 1: the last five years. So that's the math on that
4:51
Speaker 1: he's thirty six. The Giants are trotting him out there,
4:55
Speaker 1: and if you believe the quote from the general manager there,
4:57
Speaker 1: Joe Shane, they want you to think they are. I
5:00
Speaker 1: also purchased this offseason on Amazon a hot tub time machine,
5:05
Speaker 1: and they are gonna set the year to what twenty
5:07
Speaker 1: fourteen and the Legion of Boom and in this case,
5:11
Speaker 1: it's just Boom goes to quarterback. Good luck on that.
5:14
Speaker 1: So the most likely outcome looking into the crystal mall
5:19
Speaker 1: all right, Russell Wilson will be grabbing his smartphone. He
5:23
Speaker 1: will be going on Expedia and he will be booking
5:27
Speaker 1: a room at a bed and breakfast called the Heartbreak Hotel.
5:33
Speaker 1: That is where he's gonna go. Russell Wilson, Now, no
5:36
Speaker 1: one's talking about Jameis Winston, and I want Jameis Winston
5:39
Speaker 1: to play. I support Jameis Winston. I'll tell you why
5:42
Speaker 1: he's bad. But he's fun bad, and if you're gonna
5:46
Speaker 1: be bad, be fun bad. So Jameis Winston still hanging
5:49
Speaker 1: around there, and then you've got the rookie Jackson Dart
5:53
Speaker 1: waiting to take the job. So, Russell Wilson, you don't
5:57
Speaker 1: have to be some kind of high fu loot In
5:59
Speaker 1: Adams Chefter Jay Glazer type to know that this is
6:02
Speaker 1: a placeholder situation, plain and simple. That's it. Russ got
6:07
Speaker 1: back up money from the Giants because they don't believe
6:12
Speaker 1: in him, nor should they. He got the kind of
6:14
Speaker 1: a contract where just keep the seat warm. We don't
6:18
Speaker 1: have seat heaters, so just keep the seat warm there, Russ,
6:21
Speaker 1: and then you know, you move over to the side
6:24
Speaker 1: and we'll just we'll be the coaching staff of the Jets.
6:27
Speaker 1: We'll just pray that Jackson Dart doesn't look like a
6:31
Speaker 1: deer in the headlights by the time we get into
6:34
Speaker 1: week three or week four. But at least mister mister
6:37
Speaker 1: unlimited is squeezing all of the clout he can get
6:43
Speaker 1: out of being the Giants quarterback because he's not very good,
6:47
Speaker 1: hadn't been good in years. Russell Wilson. If you read
6:50
Speaker 1: the tabloids, though, in the Big Apple, the Naked City
6:53
Speaker 1: never sleeps, and in the last four months, Russ has
6:57
Speaker 1: been a regular on the icon on a page six
7:01
Speaker 1: the tabloid of the New York Post. He has been
7:03
Speaker 1: court sided at multiple New York Knickerbocker games during their
7:06
Speaker 1: playoff run. He was most recently seen at the met Gala.
7:11
Speaker 1: He was at that Bugase Fanatics Fest thing he showed
7:15
Speaker 1: up to that. He's been at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
7:19
Speaker 1: I can go on and on. He's hit in every
7:21
Speaker 1: socialide event. I'm sure he'll be somewhere this weekend the
7:25
Speaker 1: fourth of July. There'll be some high falutin party on
7:28
Speaker 1: the Hamptons and Russell b that he's soaking it all in,
7:31
Speaker 1: and I give him credit. You got to hit the
7:33
Speaker 1: red carpet because Russ knows once he starts playing turnout
7:37
Speaker 1: the last the parties over. Yeah, so he's they don't
7:42
Speaker 1: invite you to the red carpet. When you're holding a
7:44
Speaker 1: clipboard and wearing a visor and you're the backup, they
7:47
Speaker 1: don't invite you. So you got to take advantage of it.
7:49
Speaker 1: Even though he's like the faux starting quarterback for the Giants,
7:52
Speaker 1: you gotta take advantage of it. Now a guy in
7:53
Speaker 1: that division that is not a faux starting quarterback. We
7:57
Speaker 1: turned the page to the Beltway and Washington, d C.
8:02
Speaker 1: The District of Columbia and so far, despite Internet reports,
8:09
Speaker 1: quarterback Jaden Daniels says he is on team Deebo. He
8:15
Speaker 1: is on team Debo. He's impressed with Deebo Samuel, late
8:18
Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers. Now that goes counter the
8:23
Speaker 1: scandalous internet reports, including photos, the accusations that the new
8:29
Speaker 1: Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel needs to go to a farm,
8:34
Speaker 1: a fat farm. So how much stock do you put
8:38
Speaker 1: on Jaden Daniels giving an endorsement, a ringing endorsement of
8:43
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel with the commanders. All right, so on this one,
8:48
Speaker 1: Jadon Daniels has turned into a crooner. He's singing Deebo
8:52
Speaker 1: Samuel's praises and all that stuff. You know, stand by
8:54
Speaker 1: your man. You're supposed to do that, and it's one
8:57
Speaker 1: of those things. If you have a problem, you do
8:59
Speaker 1: it privately. You don't do it publicly. You do it privately.
9:02
Speaker 1: That's the way you're supposed to do it. But I'm
9:03
Speaker 1: a talk showst I like when you do it in
9:04
Speaker 1: the public square. It's I need content. I have a
9:08
Speaker 1: nightly show. I got four hours of talk radio real
9:10
Speaker 1: estate I gotta fill. So he's doing the stand by
9:13
Speaker 1: your man thing, Jayden Daniels and all that stuff. Do
9:16
Speaker 1: you think Jayden Daniels though, would come out and say,
9:18
Speaker 1: oh my god, Deebo Samuel, he is one more sub
9:24
Speaker 1: sandwich from exploding, right, I mean, and listen, Jadan Daniels.
9:28
Speaker 1: He probably doesn't care whether Deebo Samuel's rocking a couple
9:31
Speaker 1: of extra Chick fil A sandwiches or whatever it's it
9:34
Speaker 1: is setting up though, Like the thing that interests me
9:37
Speaker 1: about this story is its setting up to be a
9:40
Speaker 1: summer TV classic for the Washington Commanders. It's a it's
9:43
Speaker 1: a show that's been on and off in six generations,
9:46
Speaker 1: six decades. To tell the truth, will the real Deebo
9:50
Speaker 1: Samuel please stand up? And you'll have three people all
9:55
Speaker 1: dressed like Deebo Samuel. Will the real Deebo Samuel stand up?
9:58
Speaker 1: Because now, Deebo, He's never gonna in a mister Universe contest,
10:01
Speaker 1: nor will I by the by that by that token.
10:04
Speaker 1: But based on some social media clips that I've seen,
10:08
Speaker 1: and you've sent me some of your knuckleheads love to
10:11
Speaker 1: send me, do you see this? Oh my god, he's
10:13
Speaker 1: got a belly. He's got a beer belly. Yeah, So
10:16
Speaker 1: people are acting. People are acting like Deebo Samuel waddled
10:21
Speaker 1: in to the Commander's facility like a penguin, and he
10:25
Speaker 1: was wearing cargo shorts and compression socks and he's like
10:29
Speaker 1: somebody's uncle after a Fourth of July cookout this weekend.
10:33
Speaker 1: Now the mystery will be solved to tell the truth
10:36
Speaker 1: when training camp opens up in a couple of weeks,
10:38
Speaker 1: and will Deebo Samuel show up? Will he be wearing
10:41
Speaker 1: a football helmet, football pads, and pants or will he
10:45
Speaker 1: be wearing a moo moo. We will find out when
10:48
Speaker 1: the Washington football team opens up camp. Now, final point,
10:51
Speaker 1: we're gonna pivot away from that to baseball. Big story
10:56
Speaker 1: in baseball not the infestation of double headed because of
11:00
Speaker 1: the bad weather that hit the Atlantic seaboard this week.
11:02
Speaker 1: But instead everyone's been yapping about Dodger starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw,
11:08
Speaker 1: the old left handed Clayton Kershaw. On a random Wednesday
11:12
Speaker 1: night against one of the worst teams in baseball, the
11:14
Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox, Clayton Kershaw reached three thousand strikeouts and
11:22
Speaker 1: many pungents of baseball are convinced that he is the
11:27
Speaker 1: last one, the last one to reach three thousand strikeouts.
11:31
Speaker 1: So is that an overreaction or is that a smart take?
11:36
Speaker 1: Overreaction or a smart take that Clayton Kershaw is the
11:40
Speaker 1: last pitcher to reach three thousand strikeouts? So this is
11:45
Speaker 1: with a capital H, hyperbole is what this is. Now.
11:49
Speaker 1: I know that we're being fed this propaganda that three
11:52
Speaker 1: thousand strikeouts, this is it by a starter and Kershaw's
11:58
Speaker 1: a relic from a different era. Phoee. I say for
12:02
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw's milestone, what it should be is a bridge,
12:06
Speaker 1: a bridge over troubled waters, a hardball revival, and someone's
12:14
Speaker 1: gonna have the goal to actually do this, and it's
12:18
Speaker 1: gonna be a crappy team, a team that has no
12:21
Speaker 1: real fan base that's willing to do it, to think
12:24
Speaker 1: outside the boxes. Everyone's thinking the same way in baseball,
12:27
Speaker 1: copycat situation and all that stuff. With Kershaw, what you
12:31
Speaker 1: should be doing is crank up the Hank Williams country
12:35
Speaker 1: gospel tune. I saw the light. I saw the light. Baseball,
12:39
Speaker 1: like everything, it's cyclical, everything's cyclical. It can once again.
12:44
Speaker 1: I am am I a knucklehead for believing that baseball
12:47
Speaker 1: can once again rediscover big time starting pitching. And they
12:51
Speaker 1: always take the easy road out. They say, well, it's
12:53
Speaker 1: not an orfold. These guys didn't throw a lot in
12:55
Speaker 1: high school, they didn't throw a lot in college. But
12:58
Speaker 1: a lot of the pitchers are drafted out of high school.
13:02
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, I believe, came out of high school from
13:04
Speaker 1: the Dallas area. And you can take a picture who's
13:09
Speaker 1: eighteen years old out of high school and the guys
13:12
Speaker 1: they're signing in the Dominican and other places are younger
13:14
Speaker 1: than that, and you can mold them into starting pitchers.
13:18
Speaker 1: You have enough time to do that, so you can.
13:21
Speaker 1: You can rally around, and I'll give you the little
13:24
Speaker 1: dirty secret about the sport of baseball. Baseball is better
13:30
Speaker 1: when you have dominate starting pitching. Does anyone disagree with that?
13:35
Speaker 1: Does anyone want to raise their hand? No one's going
13:37
Speaker 1: to raise their hand and disagree. So I would like
13:39
Speaker 1: you to join my grassroots movement. It's an upstart, renegade outfit,
13:45
Speaker 1: and let's make starting pitching great again. The nerds killed it.
13:49
Speaker 1: We can bring it back from the dead. We can
13:52
Speaker 1: resuscitate it. The starting pitcher is the one person in
13:57
Speaker 1: baseball who can control the narrative, the one person with
14:02
Speaker 1: the ball who can set the tone and where you're like,
14:07
Speaker 1: I guaranteed to win this there very rarely will we
14:09
Speaker 1: not win when this guy's pitching. You cannot replicate that
14:12
Speaker 1: with your bullpen day And let the aces walk the
14:17
Speaker 1: tight rope when they go third time through the lineup.
14:20
Speaker 1: You don't need to have a coronary when you get
14:22
Speaker 1: to the eighth inning. Let him pitch, let him pitch
14:25
Speaker 1: out of trouble, let them get dirty, let them give
14:27
Speaker 1: up some runs and blow some games. Because baseball does
14:30
Speaker 1: not need any more of these matchups where you bring
14:33
Speaker 1: out the three ring binder and you're playing nerd ball.
14:38
Speaker 1: You need dramatic moments and a dominant starting pitcher, and
14:43
Speaker 1: there's hardly any of them left in the game. But
14:45
Speaker 1: a dominant starting pitcher on the mound. It's like going
14:48
Speaker 1: to see a heavyweight boxing match back in the old days. Right,
14:53
Speaker 1: everyone's anticipating what's gonna happen. Right, you own the night,
14:56
Speaker 1: that is the moment. It's the moment of truth. Who's
14:59
Speaker 1: gonna pitch better that night, who's gonna do better?
15:01
Speaker 2: All that?
15:03
Speaker 1: And like the idea that well this is the last one,
15:05
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, it shouldn't be right. And it's gonna take
15:09
Speaker 1: a team that has no fans, like the Athletics who
15:11
Speaker 1: don't even have a city. They're so embarrassed about being
15:13
Speaker 1: in Sacramento, or the Tampa Bay Rays is another minor
15:16
Speaker 1: league outfit, and just just go for it. Just develop
15:21
Speaker 1: pitchers to be dominant starting pitching, and you have such
15:24
Speaker 1: an advantage over everyone else, and then that team has
15:28
Speaker 1: to succeed, and then when they succeed, everyone's gonna copy them.
15:32
Speaker 1: Period stop. It is the Ben Mahler Show. As we
15:37

18:15
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, mister unlimited, and he's on thin ice already
18:21
Speaker 1: with the Giants. And then the curious case of Deebo
18:25
Speaker 1: Samuel with the Washington Commanders. Is he the size of
18:29
Speaker 1: the blimp or is he not the size of the limb?
18:31
Speaker 1: Inquiring minds would like to know. Shane in the Morning
18:33
Speaker 1: Rite Sin says, it is said that you do not
18:35

18:43
Speaker 1: We're not a Morning Zoos show. We don't get paid
18:44
Speaker 1: like a Morning ju show. B I doubt that your
18:47
Speaker 1: son would want me to do a shout out to
18:49
Speaker 1: him anyway. He sixteen year old kid does not want
18:52
Speaker 1: some overnight gas bag to wish him a happy birthday,
18:55
Speaker 1: does not want that at all. What else do we
18:58

19:03
Speaker 1: That's what he says. Nature Boy, very active on social media,
19:07
Speaker 1: says the nerds are leading us to believe pitchers should
19:11
Speaker 1: never go more than one hundred pitches. I beg to differ,
19:16
Speaker 1: says the nature Boy, and then he has some examples
19:20
Speaker 1: of a game years ago, back in the nineteen sixties,
19:23
Speaker 1: when both pitchers went over two hundred pitches. And yeah,
19:28
Speaker 1: the one hundred pitch thing is a fascinating quirk that
19:35
Speaker 1: they just arbitrarily decided one hundred pitches because it's a
19:39
Speaker 1: round number. It's a big number, one hundred pitches. That
19:42
Speaker 1: anything after one hundred pitches and you're going to fall apart.
19:47
Speaker 1: But there are examples. I remember hearing stories about Fernando
19:51
Speaker 1: Valezuela when he was pitching in the Dominican League early
19:55
Speaker 1: in his Dodger career, had come from Mexico, but he
19:57
Speaker 1: was pitching in some offseason and games and he just
20:01
Speaker 1: keep pitching and pitching. Levon Hernandez, who pitched years ago
20:05
Speaker 1: out of Cuba, another guy that supposed to pitch two
20:08
Speaker 1: hundred pitches in a game and they came back and
20:10
Speaker 1: pitched another game. Like a day later and all that stuff.
20:12
Speaker 1: But now they've decided one hundred pitches and your arm
20:16
Speaker 1: is going to fall off. All right's go to the phones.
20:18
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Sir scratch Off, who has come
20:21
Speaker 1: out of retirement and he is on the air, in
20:24
Speaker 1: the air everywhere they're in Arkansas. Hello, sir scratch Off?

20:32
Speaker 2: them names burh. I'm trying to stay away for a

Speaker 2: bunch of girls. They wasn't money all the time, and
20:37
Speaker 2: I'm getting tired and messing with me. So I just

Speaker 2: changed my name.
20:40
Speaker 1: Oh well that'll solve everything. Now, what do you What

20:44
Speaker 1: You're always upset about something. What are you upset about

Speaker 2: That's why, man, I ain't upset about nothing. I just like,
20:50
Speaker 2: I'm ready for football. But you know, I'll tell you what.
20:52
Speaker 2: I just I'm a big old football fan and I'm

21:07
Speaker 1: quick take and then hang up. What's your what's your
21:09
Speaker 1: quick take there, sir scratch.
21:10
Speaker 2: Off, my quick take? I didn't go further now, but
21:15
Speaker 2: watch you, Derek, the leprechauns go becalling his boy away
21:18
Speaker 2: from me.
21:19
Speaker 1: What do you?
21:19
Speaker 4: What do you?

Speaker 1: Are you jealous because the leprechaun was in here? You

Speaker 1: in here, Sir scratch off. I I gotta tell you.
21:26
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, we had this great Mallard
21:28

Speaker 1: Oh no, don't.
21:37
Speaker 2: Start, don't start that man.
21:39
Speaker 1: Yeah no, it was great. No yet, we had a
21:41
Speaker 1: great time at the Mallar meat greet. You remember you

21:45
Speaker 2: A million times. You've come to any time you want to.
21:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, you said you were gonna you said you

22:08
Speaker 1: I can right as soon as I get that plane ticket,
22:10
Speaker 1: I'll be right there. I'll be right there, hanging out.
22:13
Speaker 2: Got got good barbecue.
22:16
Speaker 1: Is Jimmy Hart still around? Is he still hanging out
22:18
Speaker 1: around there? Is he still still with us? Jimmy Hart?
22:21
Speaker 2: Yeah? He kept Jonesborough last Tuesday Wednesday. They was just
22:25
Speaker 2: stuff on him and old Randy Halls. Randy Hales lives
22:28
Speaker 2: over in Jonesborough, of.
22:29
Speaker 1: Course, he goes, that's all. That's where all the cool
22:32
Speaker 1: people live in Jonesboro.
22:34
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, I don't why call you? Listen to me now,
22:36
Speaker 2: I want you. I want to get your take on
22:38
Speaker 2: this real quick.
22:38
Speaker 1: You've been on You've been on there two minutes, and
22:40
Speaker 1: now you know why you call it? Go ahead, now
22:42
Speaker 1: listen to me.
22:43
Speaker 2: Listen to me. You know, my boy, Austin Reeese he
22:46
Speaker 2: got this new contract offer, four year, ninety million dollars.
22:50
Speaker 2: He turned it down. Do you think he's turned it
22:53
Speaker 2: down for a reason.
22:55
Speaker 1: Yes, of course, Well there's two reasons. He can make
22:58
Speaker 1: more money if he waits a year, he can make
23:00
Speaker 1: like another one hundred and twenty million or more than that.
23:04
Speaker 1: And if he wants to be the man, he's got
23:07
Speaker 1: to leave the Lakers. You can't be the man with
23:08
Speaker 1: the Lakers. It's gonna be Luca. So if he wants
23:11
Speaker 1: to have his own team, then he can't.
23:13
Speaker 2: Hear, Hey, I'm gonna shoot the gears. I got you now, No,
23:17
Speaker 2: I just think that I haint just Kim Joe. But
23:20
Speaker 2: he can't ockstun here. Like a few days ago, they
23:22
Speaker 2: have a camp for boys over there at the high school. Yeah,
23:26
Speaker 2: he's got his name all over breathe it's a basketball
23:30
Speaker 2: camp or he's these boys in high school.
23:33
Speaker 1: And I was asking that question, you know, but I mean,
23:37
Speaker 1: you know, all right, well, he's not gonna he's not
23:40
Speaker 1: gonna give you a straight answer. You know that he's
23:42
Speaker 1: not gonna give it. If he gives you a straight answer,
23:43
Speaker 1: he goes viral and then all of a sudden, he's
23:45
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with that. So I mean, you
23:47
Speaker 1: can ask him next time he's in town or whatever,
23:49
Speaker 1: but he's not gonna give you a straight answer.
23:51
Speaker 2: I would take some guaranteed money and then it's something happened.
23:55
Speaker 2: Then you got your guaranteed money.
23:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's already's already enough money. He's made enough
24:01
Speaker 1: already where he's set. So now you're going like generational wealth.
24:05
Speaker 1: Now he's making millions of dollars right now. All right,
24:09
Speaker 1: I gotta leave it there. Thank you. About there. You
24:10
Speaker 1: go out of retirement and he'll go back to retirement.
24:14
Speaker 1: Now right, are you going back to retirements or scratch up?
24:16
Speaker 1: I think you are going back to retirement. You made
24:19
Speaker 1: that phone call. Now you've got to step aside and
24:22
Speaker 1: go to retirement. So we mentioned Clayton Kershaw three thousand strikeouts,
24:25
Speaker 1: So baseball people all fired up, they're all excited about this.
24:28
Speaker 1: So the prisoner of the Moment take of the day
24:31
Speaker 1: goes to someone that that I've dealt with a few times.
24:34
Speaker 1: He does some radio stuff. He's a columnist. Bill Plashke,
24:38
Speaker 1: who's a commis for The Other Times, used to be
24:39
Speaker 1: on that Around the Horn show before he got canceled.
24:42
Speaker 1: So Plashki is claiming yet again that Clayton Kershaw is
24:47
Speaker 1: the greatest pitcher in Dodger history, which has got to
24:50
Speaker 1: be one of the lamest takes of all time. Now
24:52
Speaker 1: we're gonna sit here and break down the Dodger all
24:55
Speaker 1: time pitching. But it ain't Clayton Kershaw, and it can
24:58
Speaker 1: never beat Clayton Kerr because of the albatross that is
25:03
Speaker 1: the postseason. You cannot properly adjudicate Clayton Kershaw without mentioning
25:09
Speaker 1: that he is consistently ridden in the front seat of
25:13
Speaker 1: the vomit comet in the postseason. You can't get around it.
25:17
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do to clean it up. His
25:21
Speaker 1: earn run average is four and a half in the postseason.
25:25
Speaker 1: And you think of some of the other greats in
25:26
Speaker 1: Dodger history. Sandy Kofax had an ERA of under one
25:31
Speaker 1: when he pitched back for the Dodgers back in the day,
25:33
Speaker 1: help Fernando Vealnezuela, who had a very brief run of
25:37
Speaker 1: dominance for the Dodgers. His postseason earned run average was
25:40
Speaker 1: I believe under two. If I'm not mistaken with the Dodgers,
25:45
Speaker 1: so Kershaw for all the success on a random Tuesday
25:49
Speaker 1: night against the Rockies or a Wednesday night against the
25:52
Speaker 1: White Sox, it's the big moments when he needs to
25:57
Speaker 1: change his diaper and there's no other way around that
26:01
Speaker 1: that is just the way it has been and continues
26:04
Speaker 1: to be so anyway, it is the bed Mal Show.
26:07
Speaker 1: If you want to be part on x at Ben
26:10
Speaker 1: Math the phones or hot let's get back to the calls.
26:12
Speaker 1: Will say hello to Tony in the Bay Area, Hello, Tony, welcome,
26:18
Speaker 1: Hey man.
26:19
Speaker 2: What does David Besse call the two ball count?
26:23
Speaker 1: I don't know, kin music, Thanks buddy, No, Tony, it's
26:29
Speaker 1: a drive by phone call right there. He dropped it
26:32
Speaker 1: and then that's it. Lets let's say hello to guess
26:35
Speaker 1: my better judgment Poppy in San Diego. Hello, Poppy, Hey, actually,
26:43
Speaker 1: good judgment.
26:43
Speaker 2: Come to my mantor you know, actually though my heart
26:47
Speaker 2: was really great. I got actually inspired and motivated. I
26:50
Speaker 2: know you guys want to hear my pits.
26:52
Speaker 1: But nobody wants to hear your Scott Foster's not on
26:55
Speaker 1: pining your game. Nobody wants to hear your pick. Scott
26:57
Speaker 1: Foster's not upiing your game.
26:59
Speaker 2: Well, actually, when Brian know is here, we actually went
27:02
Speaker 2: to and on the pitch.
27:03
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, well, Brian Knows not here, so you
27:06
Speaker 1: want to call him. He'll be on this weekend. You
27:07
Speaker 1: can call him up. But it's the Ben Malors Show.
27:10
Speaker 1: And thank you for the call, Poppy. I appreciate it.
27:13
Speaker 1: All right, bye bye, all right. So the Max Munsey's
27:17
Speaker 1: story is interesting. I have no patience for that guy none.
27:21
Speaker 1: So the Max Monsey story I think is interesting. He
27:23
Speaker 1: got injured and we have an update and this is
27:26
Speaker 1: bad news. I believe this is bad news for the Dodgers.
27:29
Speaker 1: And here's why. So Max Munsey was injured at third base.
27:33
Speaker 1: He is a play bang bang play, one of the
27:35
Speaker 1: white sized guys trying to steal third base and Will
27:38
Speaker 1: Smith threw the ball down and there was a collision
27:41
Speaker 1: and Max Monsey's knee bent the wrong way. And so
27:44
Speaker 1: the latest from Dodgerland. They say that Max Munsey is
27:49
Speaker 1: getting an MRI, which will be later today here on
27:52
Speaker 1: the third of July. And here's the part that should
27:55
Speaker 1: scare all the Dodger of ficionados. It'said Dave Robert said
28:00
Speaker 1: the initial tests have them feeling quote optimistic, and that
28:06
Speaker 1: they hope is it's only a sustained or a serious sprain,
28:13
Speaker 1: but not not any ligament damage supposedly. So I'm gonna
28:19
Speaker 1: go things that are likely not. Youre like Max Munsey,
28:23
Speaker 1: Is there any way he does not end up on
28:25
Speaker 1: what used to be called the disabled list for the Dodge,
28:28
Speaker 1: Like that's a gary, We'll start with that. So he'll
28:30
Speaker 1: be out. He'll he'll be on the disabled list, the
28:32
Speaker 1: injury list whatever they call it now, whatever they change
28:34
Speaker 1: it to, which is politically correct. So he'll be out
28:37
Speaker 1: for at least a brief period of time. But I
28:40
Speaker 1: gotta think he's out for a month or two. The
28:43
Speaker 1: top scenario is months. He's out all of July and
28:46
Speaker 1: comes back sometime in August. The injury was so bad
28:50
Speaker 1: they I'm told they I didn't see. I was watching
28:52
Speaker 1: the White Sox broadcast because some of the Dodger broadcasters
28:55
Speaker 1: annoy me. But I believe they didn't show it on
28:57
Speaker 1: the Dodger broadcast like they did not the injury. They
29:01
Speaker 1: would not rebroadcast the injury. They said, was that that
29:04
Speaker 1: bad an injury like I saw, it looked bad, and
29:07
Speaker 1: it looked like the kind of injury is going to
29:09
Speaker 1: keep you out for a good period of time. In
29:10
Speaker 1: the fact that he was hopping off the field he
29:12
Speaker 1: could barely put any weight on it also generally not
29:16
Speaker 1: a great sign. Not a great sign. And Max Munsey
29:19
Speaker 1: was in a neck and neck race with Manny Machato
29:23
Speaker 1: to be the starting third baseman for the National League
29:26
Speaker 1: All Stars, and he came up a wee bit short,
29:31
Speaker 1: just a wee bit short. Did not did not quite
29:34
Speaker 1: work out there, as they have named the All Stars
29:37
Speaker 1: starting lineups the All Star gam more only what do
29:40
Speaker 1: we like? Less than two weeks away from that, and
29:44
Speaker 1: we're closing in on that. And the Dodgers win, by
29:47
Speaker 1: the way, they won in a rally against the White
29:51
Speaker 1: Sox on that random game. And Freddie Freeman, who was
29:55
Speaker 1: named to the All Star team in the National League,
29:57
Speaker 1: he had his seventeenth career walk off hit that includes
30:01
Speaker 1: the playoffs, third most in the wild Card Era. I
30:04
Speaker 1: guess that's now the modern ear of the wild Card era,
30:06
Speaker 1: which goes back to the mid nineties when they started
30:08
Speaker 1: the wild card games. Was that ninety seven, ninety five nine, six,
30:13
Speaker 1: ninety seven somewhere around there they started the Wildcags. I
30:14
Speaker 1: think it was ninety seven. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It's
30:17
Speaker 1: been a while. And the player in the Wildcard Era
30:21
Speaker 1: that has the most walkoff hits all time, you know
30:25
Speaker 1: it is, that's right, Big Poppy. David Ortiz has the
30:31
Speaker 1: most walk off hits since that arbitrary date in the
30:35
Speaker 1: mid nineties. So there you go, Eileen writes in she
30:39
Speaker 1: sent a photo of what she claims is Russell Wilson
30:42
Speaker 1: at the met Gala. I think that might be Diddy
30:45
Speaker 1: at the met Gala, Eileen. I think you confuse that
30:47
Speaker 1: with Diddy there. But that's quite quite the outfit there.
30:51
Speaker 1: That is an impressive outfit. If I ever end up
30:54
Speaker 1: at the met Gala, just throw me off the bridge.
30:56
Speaker 1: Just toss me off the bridge and say get out
30:58
Speaker 1: of here. You're done. We are moved on from you.
31:02
Speaker 1: We want nothing to do if you get the f
31:05
Speaker 1: out of here now. Next hour, we have ask Ben.

Speaker 1: in the producer's chair, so he'll be compiling the questions.
31:20

31:24
Speaker 1: hashtag ask Ben. Those are not sporty questions. We don't

Speaker 1: That guy Bass said is the Dodger, posting he's such
35:35
Speaker 1: a Blake Snell toady. He would not admit that Blake
35:40
Speaker 1: Snell has been a bust. He's made two starts as
35:42
Speaker 1: a Dodger, two starts as a Dodger. Horrible, horrible move.
35:47

36:24
Speaker 1: I was getting a lot of messages from fans of
36:26
Speaker 1: the as one thousand and two one thousand holes, all
36:30
Speaker 1: excited because they beat the Rockies. Does anyone want to
36:33
Speaker 1: let the people of Houston know the Rockies suck and
36:36
Speaker 1: everyone beats the Rockies? Does anyone to let me know? Anyway?
36:38
Speaker 1: Let's pay off the insta trivia question. So the Tigers
36:42
Speaker 1: hobby bias joining Pete, Rose, Harmon, Killebrew, and Blank is
36:47
Speaker 1: the only players to start the All Star Game in
36:50
Speaker 1: three different positions. Let's go over to Mary. Mary, do
36:53
Speaker 1: you have an answer? Mary?
36:55
Speaker 2: Ah?
36:55
Speaker 1: My mom? All right? Is it Mary's mother? Is that
36:59
Speaker 1: the answer? Let's find out. Apparently it's not your mom.
37:02
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sure she's a lovely lady. No, the
37:04
Speaker 1: correct answer is Albert who hosts Albert who the answer?
37:11
Speaker 1: Who started the All Star Game at first base, third base,
37:15
Speaker 1: and in left field? So there is that? Put that
37:20
Speaker 1: in your pipe and smoking and right now here we go.
37:23
Speaker 1: Here we go. It's time hit that button. There, Mary,
37:25
Speaker 1: that's the one right there. That's it. That's the one.
37:28
Speaker 1: All right. We go over to the producer's chair and
37:30
Speaker 1: Ian Roddy. Hello. Ian.
37:32
Speaker 4: You notice I've learned not to jump jump the gun
37:34
Speaker 4: as much like I did last week.
37:36
Speaker 1: You were excited it happens, you know.
37:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm learning. I'm learning. Here we go, let's jump
37:41
Speaker 4: in here though number one. On a recent podcast interview,
37:44
Speaker 4: Chiefs tight End Travis Kelcey recalled some troubles he had
37:46
Speaker 4: behind the scenes back when he hosted Saturday Night Live
37:49
Speaker 4: back in twenty twenty three. So the hardest part of
37:52
Speaker 4: hosting SNL was the pre show table read because apparently
37:55
Speaker 4: he can't really read that well. So inevitably social media
37:58
Speaker 4: got a hold of that, got a hold of that,
38:00
Speaker 4: and you know, they've been making a ton of fun
38:02
Speaker 4: of him. So, Ben, do you think any less of
38:04
Speaker 4: Kelsey now that you know he has tough time reading?
38:06
Speaker 1: No, because I think he was embellishing it. If he's
38:10
Speaker 1: not embellishing it, I mean, that's pretty impressive. He went
38:14
Speaker 1: to Cleveland Heights High School in Cleveland, he went to
38:18
Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati. I think he spent four years
38:21
Speaker 1: in college. And if he was able to make it
38:23
Speaker 1: through all that and not not be able to read,
38:26
Speaker 1: like there's reading at a high level and then there's
38:29
Speaker 1: like reading just being able to read enough. I don't
38:33
Speaker 1: doubt that Kelsey's not a prolific reader. He's a football player,
38:37
Speaker 1: and he's like a meathead football player. I don't think
38:40
Speaker 1: any less of him. I never thought of him as
38:42
Speaker 1: an academic type person anyway, So who cares?
38:45
Speaker 4: You know?
38:45
Speaker 1: Whether he reads a lot, and I'd like to think
38:47
Speaker 1: that he's not totally lacking the ability to read anything
38:51
Speaker 1: all right, Next.
38:52
Speaker 4: With all the potential trade rumors circling around Lebron right now,
38:55
Speaker 4: his son Brawn. He was asked how he feels about
38:57
Speaker 4: all of it, so he said, he doesn't really pay
38:59
Speaker 4: attention all that stuff. But look, Ben, if Lebron Senior
39:02
Speaker 4: were to be traded, what do you think the Lakers
39:04
Speaker 4: would do with Bronni?
39:05
Speaker 1: They'd include him in the trade if Lebron No, I
39:08
Speaker 1: don't think Lebron's being traded. And let me tell you Ian,
39:10
Speaker 1: that is the number one answer publicists tell you the
39:14
Speaker 1: number one answer when you're asked a difficult question is
39:17
Speaker 1: if if it's about a play in a football game,
39:19
Speaker 1: so I didn't see the play, and if it's about
39:22
Speaker 1: trade rumors, you say, I don't pay attention to that stuff.
39:24
Speaker 1: I was unaware of it. Right, You played dumb that way.
39:27
Speaker 1: You just kind of kill the line of questioning and
39:30
Speaker 1: all that. But no, if the Lakers are gonna get
39:32
Speaker 1: out of the Lebron business, if they are ready to
39:35
Speaker 1: unload Lebron James, then it is a two for one
39:39
Speaker 1: special at the flea market, and it's gonna be Lebron
39:43
Speaker 1: and Bronni. They're going to trade them to the Knicks
39:45
Speaker 1: or the Cavaliers or to wherever, and I will guarantee
39:49
Speaker 1: you that Bronni is absolutely aware of what's going on
39:54
Speaker 1: with Lebron and where he's gonna end up because he
39:57
Speaker 1: is handcuffed to Lebron. The only reason he's in the NBA,
40:00
Speaker 1: the kid can't play. The only reason he's in the
40:03
Speaker 1: NBAS because it was Dad. Next.
40:05
Speaker 4: So the Milwaukee Bucks, who you know, as you mentioned
40:07
Speaker 4: in the monologue yesterday, they recently released Damian Lillard and
40:10
Speaker 4: they're reportedly eyeing twelve time All Star Chris Paul as
40:13
Speaker 4: his potential replacement. According to Chris Haynes, So, Ben, would
40:16
Speaker 4: you like the forty year old CP three for the
40:18
Speaker 4: Bucks as a short term bridge at point guard?
40:21
Speaker 1: So only if you can get a Delorian and go
40:23
Speaker 1: back to the future and head back, you know, back
40:26
Speaker 1: in time. But no, listen, Chris Paul's washed up at
40:28
Speaker 1: this point. He's a backup. I read where Chris Paul
40:31
Speaker 1: wants to start. He's looking for his starting job. No,
40:33
Speaker 1: I mean, he gotta signed somebody, but Chris Paul. I
40:37
Speaker 1: have a feeling he's gonna end up with the Clippers
40:38
Speaker 1: and all that. But no, I would not I would
40:41
Speaker 1: not bring Chris paul In expecting him to be a starter,
40:44
Speaker 1: a play big minutes and all that at this point,
40:47
Speaker 1: although he did play a lot in San Antonio on
40:49
Speaker 1: a terrible Spurs team that seven people watched. All right, there,
40:51
Speaker 1: it is Mallor to the third degree. How did we do?
40:56
Speaker 4: It was close today, but you still managed to win
40:59
Speaker 4: this one. Ben, nice jobs does a win?
41:01
Speaker 1: I got the long. I don't think I've lost a
41:03
Speaker 1: Mallard of the third degree this year. I think I'm
41:06
Speaker 1: undefeated this year at MAL. What a streak, A record streak.
