Speaker 2 (00:53):
What does the NFL bringing in twenty three billion dollars
in revenue signify to you?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
We'll discuss that.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Also, how concerned should Mike Tomlin be with the vibe
around the Steelers?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And what do you think of golfer? A golfer urinating.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
At the famous Raised Creek he was playing in the Masters,
And yeah, I had to go he went public urination
right there at the iconic Augusta Course. We'll talk about
that and the reaction which is over the top, as
you might imagine, all of it coming your way right
now here. It is our number one. It is all
(01:33):
about the money. It is all about the money. Well come,
in the beginning of another night of the Bean Mahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhere with fresh thoughts as
we explore the magic of it all coast, the coast, border,
(01:55):
the border and beyond. On the mast and flash, powerful
microphones of FSR amminating live from the machine, just a
cog in the audio machine. We're broadcasting live from the

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Tireract dot Com, the way that tire buying shure b
We are settling in for the full monty or in
this case, the full mallor as we will be navigating
the friendly skies of the nighttime hours, all night long
into the early morning hours.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Bloviating the night away.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
And we got you we got you covered all night
long and later on if you stay with us for
the full journey through the overnight, which based on the
probably probably not gonna happen, probably not gonna but if
you do throughout the overnight. Coming up a little bit
later on this hour, we have the who am I Game?
Next hour instance TRIVI, we have the Mallord Riddle of
(03:12):
the Day. Later on we'll have Sports Jeopardy. The comedy
club will be open up. You'll see how funny the
people are listening to the show that write the jokes, chuckles,
the clown walk a walka waka, they will be part
of the show as well, so.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
A lot to aner.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
The coop scoop on entertainment'll be later as well, So
we'll work our way through the overnight, but our lead
this hour to begin the festivities, we start out from
the bean counter's office, the NFL owners. I thought this
was interesting, and I have editorial control, so I'm gonna
start with this.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
The NFL owners feeling giddy.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
They've got that, as we like to say here, the
cheshire cat smile from ear to ear.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Now, the reason they have the cheshire.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Cat smile from ear to ear if you haven't hear
they had the league meetings, which were recently we talked
about them. The owners get together and they go to
some resort and they sit around and they have cocktails
and the expensive appetizers and the living the life of Riley,
and they do the business of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
They have quarterly meetings. In the NFL. Life is tough.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So if you didn't see this, perhaps perhaps not. We
learned now the industrial complex of football has brought in
twenty three billion, twenty three billion dollars in total revenue
in the just completed fiscal year. Now I realize this
is not some kind of Wall Street financial show. We're
(04:45):
not out here giving you financial advice. This has been
quite the week in the financial world. But that being
sick twenty three billion with a bean. How to put
that into context? Let me rephrase that in layman's terms
for those of you in the back of the room,
that means, okay, if my malor math is correct here,
(05:08):
that means that each team member of the cartel of
football is going to receive Each team will reseve a
big check, one of those cartoon sized checks, for four
hundred and sixteen million. That's four hundred and sixteen million
(05:28):
per team. That's payment from the NFL. That includes the
national media. You've got the sponsorship deals in there, You've
got the licensing revenue that is up eight point nine percent.
How many businesses go up year to year almost ten
percent eight point nine percent from last year. They weren't
exactly struggling last year. They were not eating the Marcel
(05:52):
and Brooklyn diet of Ramen noodles and.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You know that stuff. But at three hundred and eighty
two million a year ago, but they were up.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
To four hundred and sixteen million per team per team.
So let us discuss the question for the esteemed panel,
which you are part of. What does the NFL bringing
in twenty three billion in revenue signify to you?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So I've got I've got those decades.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Cartoonish and Jurassic Park, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make the
Baba Ganoosh.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
We're gonna get some eggplant. We're gonna make the Baba ganush.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So num burr, I said, numb burr. That's right, number one.
So this is the way I will describe the NFL
right now, just like the Gilded Age in the NFL.
It's the modern Gilded Age here in the pigskin world.
And I really don't know there's any other way you
can describe it here, endless economic growth.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Check you've got that now, d're I did read back
in the DWN not a long time. I'm trying not
to read stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But back in the old days, when I read a
few stories, not books, stories about the guilded days, I
recall reading about that. And this was when industries like
steel and railroads and oil.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Dominated the landscape in America.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And in modern NFL parlance, if you will modern NFL parlance,
you've got Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, Jeffrey Lorie, pick your
favorite big shot fat cat owner, and they are. If
we're doing the guild and age right, if we're doing
the Gilded Age of the NFL, and we're kind of
(07:48):
breaking it down scientifically here, and you've got those three owners,
or again you can fill in the blank. Well, that's
like the Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and JP Morgan
of modern times, Robert Barons captains of industry. You get
all the prestige and status, you get to be the
(08:08):
star of the cocktail party on Long Island, the Beverly
Hills or South Beach, where all the rich people hang
out with the aristocrats and the average Joe.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
That would be you and I.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
We are the average Joe, right, We're just plugging along,
getting through life.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The average Joe is.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Following the wisdom of the famous Dose Aks pitchman from
back in the day, the most interesting man in the world.
Stay thirsty, my friends, the great unwashed. We have an
unquenchable thirst for this and they know it. And it
is straight cash. Homie profits, profits, profits. It is an
(08:43):
idiot proof business at this point. Idiot proof how much so?
In twenty twenty four, the Browns now, this is go
back here. The Cleveland Browns, believe it or not, I
had the highest payroll in the NFL. Their payroll was
two hundred and forty six point four million. So if
they have the same payroll this year, assuming the payroll
(09:04):
is exactly the same, just for the purposes of this
Mallard monologue, every NFL team gets four hundred and sixteen million. So, again,
using some back of the napkin Mallard math, if you've
got four hundred sixteen million, and then you take away
two hundred and forty six point four million. That means
you're sitting on a surplus of one hundred and sixty
(09:24):
nine point six million. Well wait a minute, you gotta
pay everyone else. You got to Yeah, your payrolls fine,
but you got to pay the employees for the team.
You got other expenses, which is all true. But the
four hundred and sixteen million dollars pile of pesos does
not include your local media money, your ticket sales, your
sponsorship deals, all that other stuff. So it's really good, Like,
(09:47):
it's really really good. I'm using the Gilded Age. You
could go Internet boom times back in the nineties, you
could go the gold Rush. I mean, whatever you want
to go with. Feel free now page two. We now
head to one hundred art. Rooney Avenue is where we go,
as the Yensers continue to tap the toast.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yes it is time.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Now we'll get it out of the way early our
obligatory Malard monologue on the life and times of Air
and Rogers. That's right, waiting for the decision from Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Now there is said to be a bit of uneasiness.
Oh the drama.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Remember I mentioned a couple of days ago, Every day.
There's gonna be a little something every day. There's a
little something, even if it's taken out of thin air,
every day. So the latest report is there's there's a
bit of uneasiness in the in the building there.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
One of the insiders, I forget who, they're all the
same reported that the quote the vibe, the vibe around
the Steelers facility feels a little weird because no one
is sure whether or not Air and Rogers is going
to be there.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
The person in this story did add there.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Is no panic, oh no, no product here from the Steelers.
But the current depth chart says what it says. Okay,
so how concerned in the building should Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Be with the vibe the vibe around the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
So I'm gonna go less than zero, Okay, less than
Mike Tomlin in the bubble in my head can give
that cartoonish over the top shoulder shrug. You know know
what I'm talking about, where your your shoulders are hiked
up to your ears and your your hands or flipped
palms up.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You get that dramatic eye roll you can you can throw.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
In a mah. You know, that's a little extra pizzazz
on top of that.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So if you look at the calendar on your smartphone,
we are roughly one hundred and forty five like days,
I guess a little over one hundred and forty five
days away till the NFL regular season kicks off.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I mean we're sitting.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Here in April, and uh, it's it's down it's down
in in September, all right, I mean it's it's over
there in September.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
That is four months.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So we are talking about four months of.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Time to figure it out. Just you just got to
go and you've got to figure it out. You just
gotta you've just got to do it. Uh And and
that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Uh And and find someone And if you got to
put an ad online, I'm sure they will find someone
to play quarterback in Pittsburgh. And so, uh it is
the status quote. Nothing nothing, nothing has changed. Right As
Mike Tomlin, the King of quotes, likes to say, he's
got a lot of Zinger's, a lot of one liners.
We like Tomlin for that. He's good for business in
these parts. And Mike Tomlin famously famously likes to say
(12:58):
the standard is the standard. So what exactly is the
standard in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Right? What is the standard?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, the standard is they win now because they went
to seventeen games or so a couple of years ago,
so that if it went nine games, right, you got
to finish with the winning record, or if.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You win eight, you got to have a tie.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Right, So right now you've got Super Bowl you had.
I don't think Mason Rulis won a Super He's bounced, right.
He was with the Steelers and then he went to
the Tennessee Titans last year. He's the quarterback at this moment.
And then they can add, what do they got? They
got some other beta quarterback that they can they can
(13:42):
pick up and they'll they'll draft somebody. So again, it's
like the level.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Of concern is minute, and it's like.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Even if you get Aaron Rodgers, as much time as
we have spent talking about him and taking up very
valuable talk radio really state on this on this show,
as much as we've been doing it, we must point out,
all right, we must point out that Rogers has sucked
for three years. He wasn't very good at the end
(14:18):
in Green Bay, right, he just wasn't and then he
went to the Jets, he got hurt, so that was
I'll put that in a bad category. And then the
highlight was he ran out. Remember that first year with
the Jets. He ran out with the American flag on
nine to eleven. And then that was that was it.
It was snap, crackle, pop, see you later, bye bye,
as he was out for the year. So you had that,
(14:40):
you know, that was that was part of the deal.
All right, Now turn the page and final stop.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
We go to Augusta. That's right, we're going to the Masters.
We're heading to the Masters. Did you watch any of this?
Were you checking any of this out? And you no,
you did not?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
All right, So justin Rose Rose is your first round
leader at the I'm told by was that the eighty
ninth Masters. I think I'm correct on that. The eighty
ninth Masters. You got Roy McElroy, who early on you're like,
all things are going pretty well there and then by
the end was not good.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Just a generic brand round for him. At the Masters.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Scotti Scheffler trying to win a third green jacket. Whoopee
damdo he had a sixty eight. Phil Mickelson man, these guys,
big names, not a lot of game left.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Man, they're at the end of the road there, right,
a lot of game.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
So Phil Mickelson shot a seventy five at the Masters,
and he is actually in the danger zone of missing
the cut for the first time in almost ten years.
Twenty sixteen was the last time. That was the very
last time that he missed the cut. And all those
are fine stories if you're a golf nerd. None of them,
(15:55):
none of them are worthy of a full Mallar monologue.
I've learned over the years to not get too up
over the first round of a golf tournament. Just don't
worry about it, don't spend too much time thinking about it. Now,
there is a story that did go viral and that
involves guy Jose Luis Ballister. I believe it's his name.
(16:16):
Never heard of him, right, Yeah, he's entered the chat
now because that's the story.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
If I told you a couple.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Of days ago, this is going to be the story
everyone's talking about the Masters, you would say, well, I
don't know who that guy as well, he.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Must be must be leading the tournament.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
No, so, this guy Jose Luis Balister, the twenty one
year old reigning US Amateur Champion He's from Spain and
he was playing in his first Masters and he was
paired with the world number one Scottie Scheffler in the
(16:49):
first round on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Okay, so who cares well?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Ballister was the trending topic because he in the iconic
Raised Creek at the thirteenth l Now, I've never been
to the Master's. Actually, one of our listeners invited invited
me to go, and it was very kind. It was
very nice that he lives right there in Augusta or
(17:17):
Augusta adjacent.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
He's like, hey, we'd love to have you come down.
You can come, you know, for the weekend and all that.
It was very nice.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Might of me and Danny g from the podcast I
do on the weekends, the Fifth Hour Podcast. Unfortunately unable
to take that offer, and I haven't received that offer
in recent years, so maybe the offer is off the table.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But that is the holy land of golf.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And Raised Creek is right in there, right they revere.
They tell stories about Raised Creek, how amazing it is
and all that right there.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
At the thirteenth dole.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So what do you think of a golfer urinating at
the famous Raised Creek during the Masters? My reaction at
this point it was knee slapping. It's need like the
fact that this guy is so obtuse. I'm always fascinated
(18:10):
by people that don't understand, like there's a lot of
TV cameras and stuff like that, there's a lot of attention,
there's a lot going on and all that stuff. So
I thought it was amusing. I also love the reaction
the golf snob freaking out about this. Why didn't he ask?
Why didn't he ask? What are the marshals on the
course or the spotter or the or people who was
playing with anyone would have told him where the bathrooms are?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Blasphemy some of these, some of these golf people. It's like,
this is like peeing at Saint Peter's Basilica, right there
in the middle of the of the you know, the
holy facility.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Kick him out? Never, this is his last master's kick him.
Calm down, now, This is a story as old as time.
Think of a now defunct electronics store.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
In the northeast New York.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
In other plays the Whiz, nobody beats the Whiz.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I learned in I don't know how old that was
a Jurassic Park back in the classic movies Jurassic Park,
remember that scene when you gotta when you gotta go,
you gotta go. And this guy, uh will likely never
win a master's, but in this little sliver of time,
he is the story of the masters. He did not
(19:26):
know the etiquette. I think that's I don't know if
you're allowed to just you know, pull it out. I
gotta tell you though, every time I don't go golfing off.
I don't know about you boys, but every time I've
been golfing, and it usually happens. It used to be
once a year, and now it's like once every couple
of years. Inevitably somebody in the group that I'm golfing
with has to go and they go find a tree,
(19:46):
and uh, you know, it's one of the advantages we
have as men. You know, you just gotta go.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You go.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And typically when I play golf, it's not on television,
but the people freaking out, it's.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Like, you know, it is it is.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
It's amusing because of the reaction. It's amusing because of
the person involved seemingly being obtuse, thinking they're just playing
like at the local public course on a random day
and no one's paying attention. It's it's quite amusing, all right.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show, which you might find

Third Degree segment coming up a little bit later this hour.
It's just a side gig. It's just a side gig,
that's all it is. Well because of that coming up
a little bit later on as well. We began with
(22:32):
a hodgepodge at the beginning of this hour and including
a massive NFL revenue, Every single team in the NFL
will cover their payroll and have excess of over one
hundred million dollars just on the national television money from
television and merch sales and all that which does not
(22:55):
include does not include the other revenue.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Streams that these teams have. So it is.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
An idiot proof business. You are just set up. You
are absolutely set up.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Late night drug tester rights.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
And it says no surprise that they Golfer relieved himself
at the creek. Arizona State is a party school, so
I'm sure there is a constant smell of urine and
weed in the temporary Yeah. I was thinking about it
when I was coming into the studio. I was like,
you know, I'm in a city. We do the show
(23:29):
from LA, and people urinate on the streets all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It's like that's just what they do. And the people
that run the area they don't care. They're like, all right,
you want to urinate, go ahead. It's like a big
outdoor toilet. So the people freaking out at Augusta, I'm like, dude,
come to LA, you can urinate, pull it out wherever.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
You want, just urinate. They don't care.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You're good to go knock yourself out. What else we
have FSR crank Shuttle is listening live. He's here for
the full Malor Marathon all night and he is hard.
It has some heavy machinery. I'm not sure exactly what's
going on in that photo. It does look like an
actual Pittsburgh Steeler, not the football, but an actual steel worker.
(24:13):
That FSR crank Shuttle, who I believe tweeted out the
hashtag for his union mill wright and he is if
that's a new photo, he's at work right now. So
let us know, FSR crank Shuttle, what kind of work
you got going on there? I mean, I think I
know what you're doing, but it looks like you're in
a giant like death Star, like the belly the Belly
(24:34):
of the death Star or something. Rob the goat Man
writes and says, as a man, it is our duty
to take a whiz anywhere we want.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's it. I am the whiz. So he so he says,
what else do we have? I see page down? Can't
every that?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Robert all rights In says, big Tampa Bay buccaneer fan,
And I listen to you guys every night on the
third shift.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
He's just hanging out there in Florida.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It was all his local teams, the Bucks that raised,
the Bulls, the Magic, all that Florida state. And he says,
do you think the Bucks can win a super Bowl
with Baker Mayfield?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Now?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Do you want my honest answer, Roberto, or do you
want me to like suck up to you, because I
honestly I don't think they will.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Could they?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, like, we have seen quarterbacks who are much worse
than Baker Mayfield win the Super Bowl. It's called a
it's called lightning in a bottle. Right, Nick Foles he blows,
but for a few playoff games he was good. Joe
Flacco sucks, but.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
In the playoffs, you know he had a good run.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Eli Manning garbage quarterback, just a stiff and he won
a couple of times. So yeah, you can. You can
go on on a heater or whatever. Team can win

such thing as momentum.

photographer this week at the at the Masters The greatest
(30:43):
baseball player for his team of all Time Hall of Famer.
You know, no, not not Randy Johnson, No, no, no.
Uh the person spotted on the grounds of Augusta National
Ken Griffy Junior. Yeah yeah, and uh they claim he's
(31:05):
he's a working member of the meeting, but he was.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Spotted earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Actually I think this is the round one.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But even before then, he was snapping photographs and he
did even sign some autographs. How many other camera people
have signed autographs. But there he was buttson around and
Jack Nicholson, Jack Nicholas was out there, Gary player Tom
Watson and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
And Griffy's wandering around and taking taking.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Photo and then odd that he the kid. And if
you're old enough to remember the manners with Randy Johnson,
Randy Johnson also does.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
This is his hobby. Randy Johnson goes around to.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Different sporting events and works as a photographer. And Griffy's
got that same itch that he needs to scratch just
going around. Do you think he got access because he
might know a few people, because he's one of the
top home run hitters in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
At least in his era he was. But he's got
he's got the passion, he's got the passion for the photography.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Here an Hour number one.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
What does the NFL bringing in twenty three billion dollars
in revenue signify to you?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
We'll discuss that.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Also, how concerned should Mike Tomlin be with the vibe
around the Steelers?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And what do you think of golfer? A golfer urinating.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
At the famous Raised Creek he was playing in the Masters,
And yeah, I had to go he went public urination
right there at the iconic Augusta Course. We'll talk about
that and the reaction which is over the top, as

now here. It is our number one. It is all
(01:33):
about the money. It is all about the money. Well come,
in the beginning of another night of the Bean Mahlor Show.

We are settling in for the full monty or in
this case, the full mallor as we will be navigating
the friendly skies of the nighttime hours, all night long
into the early morning hours.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Bloviating the night away.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
And we got you we got you covered all night
long and later on if you stay with us for
the full journey through the overnight, which based on the
probably probably not gonna happen, probably not gonna but if
you do throughout the overnight. Coming up a little bit

Next hour instance TRIVI, we have the Mallord Riddle of
(03:12):

people are listening to the show that write the jokes, chuckles,
the clown walk a walka waka, they will be part
of the show as well, so.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
A lot to aner.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
The coop scoop on entertainment'll be later as well, So
we'll work our way through the overnight, but our lead
this hour to begin the festivities, we start out from
the bean counter's office, the NFL owners. I thought this
was interesting, and I have editorial control, so I'm gonna
start with this.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
The NFL owners feeling giddy.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
They've got that, as we like to say here, the
cheshire cat smile from ear to ear.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Now, the reason they have the cheshire.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Cat smile from ear to ear if you haven't hear
they had the league meetings, which were recently we talked
about them. The owners get together and they go to
some resort and they sit around and they have cocktails
and the expensive appetizers and the living the life of Riley,
and they do the business of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
They have quarterly meetings. In the NFL. Life is tough.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So if you didn't see this, perhaps perhaps not. We
learned now the industrial complex of football has brought in
twenty three billion, twenty three billion dollars in total revenue
in the just completed fiscal year. Now I realize this
is not some kind of Wall Street financial show. We're
(04:45):
not out here giving you financial advice. This has been
quite the week in the financial world. But that being
sick twenty three billion with a bean. How to put
that into context? Let me rephrase that in layman's terms
for those of you in the back of the room,
that means, okay, if my malor math is correct here,
(05:08):
that means that each team member of the cartel of
football is going to receive Each team will reseve a
big check, one of those cartoon sized checks, for four
hundred and sixteen million. That's four hundred and sixteen million
(05:28):
per team. That's payment from the NFL. That includes the
national media. You've got the sponsorship deals in there, You've
got the licensing revenue that is up eight point nine percent.
How many businesses go up year to year almost ten
percent eight point nine percent from last year. They weren't
exactly struggling last year. They were not eating the Marcel
(05:52):
and Brooklyn diet of Ramen noodles and.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You know that stuff. But at three hundred and eighty
two million a year ago, but they were up.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
To four hundred and sixteen million per team per team.
So let us discuss the question for the esteemed panel,
which you are part of. What does the NFL bringing
in twenty three billion in revenue signify to you?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So I've got I've got those decades.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Cartoonish and Jurassic Park, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make the
Baba Ganoosh.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
We're gonna get some eggplant. We're gonna make the Baba ganush.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So num burr, I said, numb burr. That's right, number one.
So this is the way I will describe the NFL
right now, just like the Gilded Age in the NFL.
It's the modern Gilded Age here in the pigskin world.
And I really don't know there's any other way you
can describe it here, endless economic growth.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Check you've got that now, d're I did read back
in the DWN not a long time. I'm trying not
to read stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But back in the old days, when I read a
few stories, not books, stories about the guilded days, I
recall reading about that. And this was when industries like
steel and railroads and oil.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Dominated the landscape in America.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And in modern NFL parlance, if you will modern NFL parlance,
you've got Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, Jeffrey Lorie, pick your
favorite big shot fat cat owner, and they are. If
we're doing the guild and age right, if we're doing
the Gilded Age of the NFL, and we're kind of
(07:48):
breaking it down scientifically here, and you've got those three owners,
or again you can fill in the blank. Well, that's
like the Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and JP Morgan
of modern times, Robert Barons captains of industry. You get
all the prestige and status, you get to be the
(08:08):
star of the cocktail party on Long Island, the Beverly
Hills or South Beach, where all the rich people hang
out with the aristocrats and the average Joe.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
That would be you and I.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
We are the average Joe, right, We're just plugging along,
getting through life.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The average Joe is.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Following the wisdom of the famous Dose Aks pitchman from
back in the day, the most interesting man in the world.
Stay thirsty, my friends, the great unwashed. We have an
unquenchable thirst for this and they know it. And it
is straight cash. Homie profits, profits, profits. It is an
(08:43):
idiot proof business at this point. Idiot proof how much so?
In twenty twenty four, the Browns now, this is go
back here. The Cleveland Browns, believe it or not, I
had the highest payroll in the NFL. Their payroll was
two hundred and forty six point four million. So if
they have the same payroll this year, assuming the payroll
(09:04):
is exactly the same, just for the purposes of this
Mallard monologue, every NFL team gets four hundred and sixteen million. So, again,
using some back of the napkin Mallard math, if you've
got four hundred sixteen million, and then you take away
two hundred and forty six point four million. That means
you're sitting on a surplus of one hundred and sixty
(09:24):
nine point six million. Well wait a minute, you gotta
pay everyone else. You got to Yeah, your payrolls fine,
but you got to pay the employees for the team.
You got other expenses, which is all true. But the
four hundred and sixteen million dollars pile of pesos does
not include your local media money, your ticket sales, your
sponsorship deals, all that other stuff. So it's really good, Like,
(09:47):
it's really really good. I'm using the Gilded Age. You
could go Internet boom times back in the nineties, you
could go the gold Rush. I mean, whatever you want
to go with. Feel free now page two. We now
head to one hundred art. Rooney Avenue is where we go,
as the Yensers continue to tap the toast.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yes it is time.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Now we'll get it out of the way early our
obligatory Malard monologue on the life and times of Air
and Rogers. That's right, waiting for the decision from Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Now there is said to be a bit of uneasiness.
Oh the drama.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Remember I mentioned a couple of days ago, Every day.
There's gonna be a little something every day. There's a
little something, even if it's taken out of thin air,
every day. So the latest report is there's there's a
bit of uneasiness in the in the building there.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
One of the insiders, I forget who, they're all the
same reported that the quote the vibe, the vibe around
the Steelers facility feels a little weird because no one
is sure whether or not Air and Rogers is going
to be there.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
The person in this story did add there.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Is no panic, oh no, no product here from the Steelers.
But the current depth chart says what it says. Okay,
so how concerned in the building should Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Be with the vibe the vibe around the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
So I'm gonna go less than zero, Okay, less than
Mike Tomlin in the bubble in my head can give
that cartoonish over the top shoulder shrug. You know know
what I'm talking about, where your your shoulders are hiked
up to your ears and your your hands or flipped
palms up.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You get that dramatic eye roll you can you can throw.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
In a mah. You know, that's a little extra pizzazz
on top of that.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So if you look at the calendar on your smartphone,
we are roughly one hundred and forty five like days,
I guess a little over one hundred and forty five
days away till the NFL regular season kicks off.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I mean we're sitting.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Here in April, and uh, it's it's down it's down
in in September, all right, I mean it's it's over
there in September.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
That is four months.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So we are talking about four months of.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Time to figure it out. Just you just got to
go and you've got to figure it out. You just
gotta you've just got to do it. Uh And and
that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Uh And and find someone And if you got to
put an ad online, I'm sure they will find someone
to play quarterback in Pittsburgh. And so, uh it is
the status quote. Nothing nothing, nothing has changed. Right As
Mike Tomlin, the King of quotes, likes to say, he's
got a lot of Zinger's, a lot of one liners.
We like Tomlin for that. He's good for business in
these parts. And Mike Tomlin famously famously likes to say
(12:58):
the standard is the standard. So what exactly is the
standard in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Right? What is the standard?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, the standard is they win now because they went
to seventeen games or so a couple of years ago,
so that if it went nine games, right, you got
to finish with the winning record, or if.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You win eight, you got to have a tie.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Right, So right now you've got Super Bowl you had.
I don't think Mason Rulis won a Super He's bounced, right.
He was with the Steelers and then he went to
the Tennessee Titans last year. He's the quarterback at this moment.
And then they can add, what do they got? They
got some other beta quarterback that they can they can
(13:42):
pick up and they'll they'll draft somebody. So again, it's
like the level.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Of concern is minute, and it's like.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Even if you get Aaron Rodgers, as much time as
we have spent talking about him and taking up very
valuable talk radio really state on this on this show,
as much as we've been doing it, we must point out,
all right, we must point out that Rogers has sucked
for three years. He wasn't very good at the end
(14:18):
in Green Bay, right, he just wasn't and then he
went to the Jets, he got hurt, so that was
I'll put that in a bad category. And then the
highlight was he ran out. Remember that first year with
the Jets. He ran out with the American flag on
nine to eleven. And then that was that was it.
It was snap, crackle, pop, see you later, bye bye,
as he was out for the year. So you had that,
(14:40):
you know, that was that was part of the deal.
All right, Now turn the page and final stop.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
We go to Augusta. That's right, we're going to the Masters.
We're heading to the Masters. Did you watch any of this?
Were you checking any of this out? And you no,
you did not?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
All right, So justin Rose Rose is your first round
leader at the I'm told by was that the eighty
ninth Masters. I think I'm correct on that. The eighty
ninth Masters. You got Roy McElroy, who early on you're like,
all things are going pretty well there and then by
the end was not good.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Just a generic brand round for him. At the Masters.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Scotti Scheffler trying to win a third green jacket. Whoopee
damdo he had a sixty eight. Phil Mickelson man, these guys,
big names, not a lot of game left.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Man, they're at the end of the road there, right,
a lot of game.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
So Phil Mickelson shot a seventy five at the Masters,
and he is actually in the danger zone of missing
the cut for the first time in almost ten years.
Twenty sixteen was the last time. That was the very
last time that he missed the cut. And all those
are fine stories if you're a golf nerd. None of them,
(15:55):
none of them are worthy of a full Mallar monologue.
I've learned over the years to not get too up
over the first round of a golf tournament. Just don't
worry about it, don't spend too much time thinking about it. Now,
there is a story that did go viral and that
involves guy Jose Luis Ballister. I believe it's his name.
(16:16):
Never heard of him, right, Yeah, he's entered the chat
now because that's the story.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
If I told you a couple.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Of days ago, this is going to be the story
everyone's talking about the Masters, you would say, well, I
don't know who that guy as well, he.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Must be must be leading the tournament.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
No, so, this guy Jose Luis Balister, the twenty one
year old reigning US Amateur Champion He's from Spain and
he was playing in his first Masters and he was
paired with the world number one Scottie Scheffler in the
(16:49):
first round on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Okay, so who cares well?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Ballister was the trending topic because he in the iconic
Raised Creek at the thirteenth l Now, I've never been
to the Master's. Actually, one of our listeners invited invited
me to go, and it was very kind. It was
very nice that he lives right there in Augusta or
(17:17):
Augusta adjacent.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
He's like, hey, we'd love to have you come down.
You can come, you know, for the weekend and all that.
It was very nice.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Might of me and Danny g from the podcast I
do on the weekends, the Fifth Hour Podcast. Unfortunately unable
to take that offer, and I haven't received that offer
in recent years, so maybe the offer is off the table.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But that is the holy land of golf.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And Raised Creek is right in there, right they revere.
They tell stories about Raised Creek, how amazing it is
and all that right there.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
At the thirteenth dole.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So what do you think of a golfer urinating at
the famous Raised Creek during the Masters? My reaction at
this point it was knee slapping. It's need like the
fact that this guy is so obtuse. I'm always fascinated
(18:10):
by people that don't understand, like there's a lot of
TV cameras and stuff like that, there's a lot of attention,
there's a lot going on and all that stuff. So
I thought it was amusing. I also love the reaction
the golf snob freaking out about this. Why didn't he ask?
Why didn't he ask? What are the marshals on the
course or the spotter or the or people who was
playing with anyone would have told him where the bathrooms are?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Blasphemy some of these, some of these golf people. It's like,
this is like peeing at Saint Peter's Basilica, right there
in the middle of the of the you know, the
holy facility.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Kick him out? Never, this is his last master's kick him.
Calm down, now, This is a story as old as time.
Think of a now defunct electronics store.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
In the northeast New York.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
In other plays the Whiz, nobody beats the Whiz.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I learned in I don't know how old that was
a Jurassic Park back in the classic movies Jurassic Park,
remember that scene when you gotta when you gotta go,
you gotta go. And this guy, uh will likely never
win a master's, but in this little sliver of time,
he is the story of the masters. He did not
(19:26):
know the etiquette. I think that's I don't know if
you're allowed to just you know, pull it out. I
gotta tell you though, every time I don't go golfing off.
I don't know about you boys, but every time I've
been golfing, and it usually happens. It used to be
once a year, and now it's like once every couple
of years. Inevitably somebody in the group that I'm golfing
with has to go and they go find a tree,
(19:46):
and uh, you know, it's one of the advantages we
have as men. You know, you just gotta go.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You go.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And typically when I play golf, it's not on television,
but the people freaking out, it's.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Like, you know, it is it is.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
It's amusing because of the reaction. It's amusing because of
the person involved seemingly being obtuse, thinking they're just playing
like at the local public course on a random day
and no one's paying attention. It's it's quite amusing, all right.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show, which you might find
(20:18):

that's all it is. Well because of that coming up
a little bit later on as well. We began with
(22:32):
a hodgepodge at the beginning of this hour and including
a massive NFL revenue, Every single team in the NFL
will cover their payroll and have excess of over one
hundred million dollars just on the national television money from
television and merch sales and all that which does not
(22:55):
include does not include the other revenue.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Streams that these teams have. So it is.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
An idiot proof business. You are just set up. You
are absolutely set up.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Late night drug tester rights.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
And it says no surprise that they Golfer relieved himself
at the creek. Arizona State is a party school, so
I'm sure there is a constant smell of urine and
weed in the temporary Yeah. I was thinking about it
when I was coming into the studio. I was like,
you know, I'm in a city. We do the show
(23:29):
from LA, and people urinate on the streets all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It's like that's just what they do. And the people
that run the area they don't care. They're like, all right,
you want to urinate, go ahead. It's like a big
outdoor toilet. So the people freaking out at Augusta, I'm like, dude,
come to LA, you can urinate, pull it out wherever.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
You want, just urinate. They don't care.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You're good to go knock yourself out. What else we
have FSR crank Shuttle is listening live. He's here for
the full Malor Marathon all night and he is hard.
It has some heavy machinery. I'm not sure exactly what's
going on in that photo. It does look like an
actual Pittsburgh Steeler, not the football, but an actual steel worker.
(24:13):
That FSR crank Shuttle, who I believe tweeted out the
hashtag for his union mill wright and he is if
that's a new photo, he's at work right now. So
let us know, FSR crank Shuttle, what kind of work
you got going on there? I mean, I think I
know what you're doing, but it looks like you're in
a giant like death Star, like the belly the Belly
(24:34):
of the death Star or something. Rob the goat Man
writes and says, as a man, it is our duty
to take a whiz anywhere we want.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
He's just hanging out there in Florida.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It was all his local teams, the Bucks that raised,
the Bulls, the Magic, all that Florida state. And he says,
do you think the Bucks can win a super Bowl
with Baker Mayfield?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Now?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Do you want my honest answer, Roberto, or do you
want me to like suck up to you, because I
honestly I don't think they will.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Could they?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, like, we have seen quarterbacks who are much worse
than Baker Mayfield win the Super Bowl. It's called a
it's called lightning in a bottle. Right, Nick Foles he blows,
but for a few playoff games he was good. Joe
Flacco sucks, but.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
In the playoffs, you know he had a good run.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Eli Manning garbage quarterback, just a stiff and he won
a couple of times. So yeah, you can. You can
go on on a heater or whatever. Team can win
a few games in a row now, and there's no
such thing as momentum.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
But do I would I bet on that. I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I wouldn't bet on that, would would not would not
do that. But thank you for listening, Roberto. I appreciate it.

Do you see who took a job working as a
photographer this week at the at the Masters The greatest
(30:43):
baseball player for his team of all Time Hall of Famer.
You know, no, not not Randy Johnson, No, no, no.
Uh the person spotted on the grounds of Augusta National
Ken Griffy Junior. Yeah yeah, and uh they claim he's
(31:05):
he's a working member of the meeting, but he was.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Spotted earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Actually I think this is the round one.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But even before then, he was snapping photographs and he
did even sign some autographs. How many other camera people
have signed autographs. But there he was buttson around and
Jack Nicholson, Jack Nicholas was out there, Gary player Tom
Watson and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
And Griffy's wandering around and taking taking.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Photo and then odd that he the kid. And if
you're old enough to remember the manners with Randy Johnson,
Randy Johnson also does.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
This is his hobby. Randy Johnson goes around to.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Different sporting events and works as a photographer. And Griffy's
got that same itch that he needs to scratch just
going around. Do you think he got access because he
might know a few people, because he's one of the
top home run hitters in baseball history.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
At least in his era he was. But he's got
he's got the passion, he's got the passion for the photography.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
He loves the photography. Who doesn't like the photography? All right,
it is the Ben Mahler Show. Let's sailo to er
