Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our Nomber two, our number two
of the Ben Maller Radio program. We play thumbs up
thumbs down on Deshaun Watson heading into the penalty box
missing the entire twenty twenty one NFL season. Will I
go thumbs up or will I go thumbs down? You'll
(00:23):
find out right now that and more. It's coming your
way here in our number two, hanging on by a thread.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour the Ben Maller Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we bluviate coast
(00:45):
to coast, border to border in beyond on the vast
and powerful microphones of fs are immanating live from under
the moonlight camelfly by the darkness the Fox Sports Radio
Studios could have you along for the ride here in
(01:06):
our lead this hour, coming from the confusion and chaos
around a disgraced NFL star the draft gone see you
later out of here, and we are talking about Deshaun
Watson and his rather shaky status. We did get a
clue during the draft about the future of Deshaun Watson.
(01:29):
It is time for our obligatory Watson Mallard monologue, so
we'll get into it. If you have not been paying attention,
there have not been many new updates. As the civil
lawsuits against Deshaun Watson continue to maintain study ground, it
is becoming more and more of reality here that the
(01:53):
Houston Texans are likely not going to have Deshaun Watson
at quarterback for the twenty twenty one season. Now, Adam
Schefter tells us that there is a belief that's weasel
terminology from some people in league circles that Watson will
not only miss the twenty twenty one regular season when
(02:14):
it comes around training camp set to open in July,
he will not be there for that. He will not
be there for the start of the season in September,
nor the balance of the seventeen game regular season in
his career in Houston is on ice. Right on ice,
the Texans quarterback likely Dunski as a quarterback for that
(02:36):
particular franchise. As of a Sunday, if you've been keeping track,
if you look at your scorecards, we have maintained twenty
two different women who have filed civil lawsuits against Watson,
a legend that he's a creepster. Now, Watson, who is
represented by the very powerful Texas defense attorney Rusty Harden.
(02:56):
He has denied all of these claims against him and
trying to sully his good name. Harden has requested a
trial by jury. Now, we did get a couple of
things that stood out over the weekend. NFL Commissioner Rogerick
Goodell was asked about the allegations against Deshaun Watson, and
he said the league was quote quote monitoring the situation.
(03:19):
I'm sure they are. How are they monitoring it on Twitter?
On Facebook, on Instagram, on sports radio? How are they monitting?
All right? So let us discuss the question. Are you
gonna go thumbs up thumbs down that Deshaun Watson will
sit out either by his choice or by the NFL's choice,
(03:40):
the twenty twenty one season. So the chances of Deshaun
Watson sitting out, I'm going to go thumbs up, all right,
thumbs up that Watson will miss this season. My observations,
You've got all twenty two hiccup and casting call, and
we will lock all of these things together. Now, number,
(04:03):
if Deshaun Watson only misses the twenty twenty one season,
he should consider himself extremely fortunate. Now, I didn't need
Adam Schefter to tell me that this was likely going
to be the case. We had said this several weeks ago.
Even our blindless is blind, Emmett, Blind Scott, all the
(04:26):
other blind callers that we have, they knew what was
going on here. And you don't even have to have
vision to know what's going on with DeShawn Watson. And
this validates a lot of what we had been saying.
This has the chance of being a career ending self
inflicted not injury activity. Right, Watson has lawsuits up the wazoo, which,
(04:51):
by the way, according to lawsuits, he doesn't mind having
things up the wazoo. Apparently. Now this is the all
twenty two of legal trauma. Twenty two women have filed,
as we said, separate civil lawsuits, all with the similar
signature behavior. Right, Deshaun was ordering massages and as payment,
(05:14):
he was offering some salami as payment, and that did
not go over well with at least twenty two of
the people here. He attempted to leave the tip behind
that was problematic and again based on the accusations he
has done his hundreds of times. He's just used Instagram
(05:35):
to try to get massages. But his defense is that
this was all just adult activity, consenting adult activity. When
every time he went bout chickawaw wow, it was all, okay,
everything's good here, right nothing, you know, we're all in
agreement bout chick owawaw just like that. Now, all of
this going on during the pandemic when we were told
(05:58):
our NFL players and everyone had to so fully distance
and wear a mask and all that, and my man
DeShawn was doing the dipsy though. He was having a
good old time there. Now, so we know Roger Goodelle
stepped in. He had talked about this, and he's gonna
do something. He's gonna do something. Now what is he
gonna do? We obviously don't know that yet. We can
speculate that's what we're gonna do. So Roger Goodell, I believe,
(06:21):
is going to take a supersonic torch to this particular
situation with DeShawn Watson. Now, I use Zeke Elliott as
an example. Zeke Elliott with a very flimsy case against him,
an unproven case against him, with very shaky evidence, and
we looked at the evidence and we said that's bullcrap.
(06:42):
Zeke Elliott should not be suspended. Roger Goodell looked at
the evidence, said, boom, six games. You're suspended, right, with unproven, unverified,
shaky evidence, six game suspension. So, with that being the
precedent being set by Roger Goodell, fair is fair, right.
Zeke Elliott very little evidence and certainly did not prove
anything beyond a reasonable without you got a sixty m suspension.
(07:05):
So if you base that precedent and you put the
Watson story in play here and you say that for
each claim, that is a six game suspension. So that means,
using the Maller math, one hundred and thirty two games
suspension for Deshaun Watson, which I think is over eight years.
I believe that's over eight years again based on it
(07:27):
doesn't matter whether these are actual legitimate claims or not,
but just the claim itself, because that's the precedent set
in the Zeke Elliott story. All Right, Now Part two
of this, Deshaun Watson is said to be working on
on a deal. It's one of the reasons that we've
heard very little about this story. Both lawyers Rusty Harden
(07:48):
and Tony Buzby have gone underground. They have for the
first month plus this story was in the public square.
We were getting weekly sometimes daily updates. We were giving
the obligatory daily Deshaun Watson Mala monologue, the state of
(08:09):
the Union type address from Tony Busby, and then Rusty
Harden would have the rebuttal from the other side, and
that went back and forth like a social media ping
pong match. They were trying to keep the story alive
and then trying to position the story. Now we have
gone to something that makes every blowhard on the radio
(08:29):
feel very very concerned. Radio silence. Right, we've gone to
radio silence. Do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man. Right.
The hiccup, and this is a big hiccup for Watson,
is very simple. He can negotiate, and he can make
a sweetheart offer and say, listen, I'm gonna give every
(08:50):
one of these women one hundred thousand dollars, right, I'm
gonna spend two point two million dollars to make this
goal away. But it's got to be one hundred percent
or no deal. Right, no deal, right, there's no in between.
There must be unanimous agreement, unanimous agreement by all twenty
(09:13):
two of the women who are accusing Deshaun Watson. They
all have to be willing to take the hush money
and go away and be called nasty Naimes or just
being money hungry blankety blanks. They have to be willing
to do that. Otherwise Deshaun Watson is better off just
going to trial and taking his chances. And we have
tons of digital evidence in play here, like everything was
(09:36):
typed out on a text message or on the Graham
and so that means it's pretty easy to determine who's
telling the truth and who said what, when they said it,
and what the context is always difficult. That's gonna be
the hard part. Right. You have the way things are
(09:58):
phrased and how they were interpret did, and you're gonna
have people who are gonna come in and if you
have a trial, you'll have people that will say, well,
this is what that really means, you know, because the phrasing,
and they'll be turning to Urban dictionary dot Com to
try to you know, certain phrases, Well that means, you know,
to normal people, this means blank, but other people it
means blank, and this group over here it means blank
(10:19):
blank blank blank blank. All right, final, So the Texans
actions speak louder than words. We mentioned Roger Goodell commented
on this, But they are going to be holding a
casting call to replace the Shaun Watts. It's an open audition.
If you can throw a football more than fifteen yards,
you might want to call the Texans up all in
(10:41):
an effort to fill the void left by Watson and
his creepy massages. Now, Tyrod Taylor was signed as a placeholder.
We mentioned this term last week about Teddy Bridgewater. It's
even more appropriate for Tyrod Taylor for a quarterback looks
better in theory than in reality. Solid acte player, knows
the offense, Coaches like him. He's simply not very good
(11:04):
when he plays as a starter. You're not doing well
if Tyrod Taylor is you're starting quarterback. Now, another clue
that the Texans are headed the opposite direction at quarterback
is when they decided to select someone named Davis Mills
with the number sixty seven pick over the weekend in
(11:25):
the National Football League Collegian Draft. Now, considering if you
look at the Texans draft, they didn't have a first
round pick, they didn't have a second round pick collateral
damage from the Bill O'Brien reign of terror. So with
the first pick they had the Texans snatched up this guy,
Davis Mills, who I didn't know who he was either.
(11:46):
So I went to the scouting reports that I have
and I was like, ah, I let me find out
about this guy. And I watched some clips on YouTube
and he played at Stanford. He's just like a generic
brand six foot four quarterback, good size, not an elite
player or just kind of an average college football quarterback. No,
not any great mobility to speak of. He's like a
(12:07):
nineteen eighties, nineties style quarterback. And one of the scouting reports,
just to give you an idea about how low the
bar is for a guy like Davis Mills, they said, well,
things go right for him in the NFL. He could
be like Andy Dalton. He could be like Andy Dalton
the NFL, which I believe means backup or fringe starter.
That that is the bar for Davis Mills. So that's
(12:28):
the guy that Texans drafted, along with Tyrod Taylor. As
Deshaun Watson goes into the penalty box at some point,
sooner than later, that's going to happen. It is the
Ben Maller Show. Good to have you along for the ride.

Others joined the cult of the Ben Maller Show. Now
live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
(14:14):
Robin Vegas has fantastic monologue. Ben. I'm giving it an
a minus every week. It seems like you're growing up
right in front of us. A Deshaun Watson monologue without
mentioning kilbassa sausage terso, Bologna, Bologne rather and or any
kind of vague penis reference. I am proud of you.
(14:37):
I don't think you were paying close attention. Just Josh
has one obligatory Deshaun Watson monologue, no sausage references. Rob Approved,
How long do you think this story runs before it
goes limp? I see what you see? What you're there?
Mark the full name guy, the lunatic from Medford, Oregon
who used to call the show, but he saved us
(14:57):
all from his terrible phone calls by because his phone broke,
he says, there he goes again. Judge Jury and injury
attorney Ben Maller is already counting out Deshaun Watson settlement
before one charge against him as proven. Yeah, hey, let
me tell you why dummy marked the full name guy
you moron. The reason I'm doing that is because if
(15:20):
you look at the Zeke Elliott case as President, there
was very flimsy evidence against Zeke Elliott. There were no
criminal chargers. He got a six game suspension by Roger Goodell.
And there was much more evidence in the twenty two
accusers of Deshaun Watson than there was against Zeke Elliot.
So by that standard, as I said, it's like an
(15:41):
eight year suspension fort Deshaun Watson. Jay in Florida says
he's a massage therapist. He says, I was a clinical
instructor at the school. Someone did that to one of
my students, and I went in and finished his massage
with very deep elbow work to his lower back. I
never saw him again at her school, he says. And
(16:05):
he also said that if somebody did that to one
of my students, he would cut his blank off, according
to according to Jay's that's what Jay had to say.
All right, let's go to the phones now. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. Let's say
hello to who do we have here? Any meany mighty mo.
(16:27):
Pick a caller by their name. Let's go to Rachel
in Montabello, the the candy benefactor boy. I am rich
in candy. Thank you very much, Rachel in Montabello. Two pounds, then,
I mean that's a lot. I mean, I U two pounds.
That's good. I'm gonna gain like fifteen pounds out with
that two pounds. But thank you, very very kind, very kind.
(16:48):
I was hoping that you'd share it with the guys.
I mean, that's I understand, well, I will share it. No,
I mean I got a bunch of mail. I went,
I made a mail run and I have not picked
up the mail. And sometimes so I picked up the
mail and I was going through the mail, and I
saw which you put there, Rachel. Thank you very much.
I do appreciate it, and I will make sure to
save some. I'm not gonna I can't eat all two pounds.
(17:09):
I mean, fat Ben, fat Ben would eat in all
two pounds. But I will share the sugar, but nets
and chuesday and that's the best. Yes, No, you've you've
done very well good work by you and did you
enjoy your birthdays? Yes, the birthday weekend was a lot
of eating. Hit some of the greats Tito's tacos. This
weekend I had that. I went to Langers, the greatest
(17:31):
deli in the world, right across from MacArthur Park. If
you need any kind of fake ID, if you ever
visit La, you need any kind of fake ID, contraband drugs,
whatever you need, it's right there in MacArthur Park. Diplomas,
diplomas you want. I think we told somebody I forget who,
if they wanted a vaccination car, you probably get that there.
Whatever you need, it's all available right there in the park. Ben,
(17:54):
what was your favorite storyline for the past week with
the NFL Draft Day one? No, no, no, no. I
liked the NFL Draft got upstaged by Aaron Rodgers and
Tim Tebow. See that that Trump. We spent months talking
about the NFL Draft and the players at the top
(18:14):
of the NFL Draft, and then like who expected that
that that Aaron Rodgers and Tim Tebow would overshadow the
draft and they did. They absolutely eclipsed the attention on
the draft. Well, I have question marks about Tim Tebow.
But I think Aaron Rodgers will be playing for the
Green Bay Packers this year. Is that your hot take?
(18:37):
Now you're predicting that, we're kind of guarantee. Yes. I
don't think Aaron Rodgers it would cool anything like that.
I think he's uh, you know, mad enough to play
out his contract, don't you No, No, he's a diva.
I would not shock me at all if Aaron Rodgers
this says, you know what, I'm getting married and they're
not gonna listen to me. I want this guy fired.
(18:58):
If they don't fire him, I'll just sit out. I'll wait.
I got the power here. I'm mister elite. I'm the
cream of the crop and screw those guys. And I
will just wait and then someone will get desperate and
trade for me, and I will make that whatever city
that is, I'll turn that into entitle Town, USA. That's
a beautiful misty band. We're gonna find out very soon.
(19:20):
See what you did there, I see what you did?
Thank got you? All right? Thank you? Rachel? All right?
I love you too. Here she goes our friend Rachel. Yeah,
I think before I eat the candy, I should just
like I should use it as weights. I can, I
can do arm exercises with the two pounds. The two
(19:41):
pounds will wait there, ab absolutely absolutely all Right to
the phones we go, and let's say hello to beer
drinking Brian. Who is next? Hello, beer drinking Brian's that
made it through another weekend. Congratulations bear drinking Brian. Yeah,
nobody in the house, well, nobody in jail, So it's good. Um.
(20:03):
It's the little things in life that really matter, isn't it. Yes? Yeah, well,
you know, I think Aaron Rodgers to put on a
dove cat, getting that nasty chair with Roger Goodell talk
about Jeopardy in retirement or have them aliens whoever said
that or dropped him off cly, as long as he
gets out of the NFC, I don't care. That'd be awesome. Now,
(20:26):
I remember an old packer quarterback, I means before my time,
beer drinking Brian, who was mister Green Bay Packer, and
then he eventually wore the purple of the Vikings. Would
you be with you will be willing to put another
former packer quarterback into the Minnesota Viking uniform. Well, he'd
have to go to New York or somewhere else first,
(20:48):
you know, just like grangler man, Dude, how many first
round picks? Let's just say the packers who woke up
and said, you know what, we're gonna trade this guy.
We think Rogers is washed up almost he's late thirties,
so we're gonna get We're gonna get rid of. How
many first round picks would you be willing to trade?
Beer drinking Brian, I do two cousins and two first
(21:13):
cousins in the six and maybe one of our other
loser kickers or something. Yeah, well that would certainly clinch
the deal. Yes, a loser kicker? What you do? Maybe
I can get thrown in on the deal. I don't know, Bryan.
The Vikings will just screw up the picks anyway. So
you trade like three first round picks, two second round picks,
(21:34):
Kirk cousins in seven lakes, and you send those over
to the packers and then that's it. You got ten
thousand lakes. You don't need nine nine ninety three lakes
or something to fishing, So it's okay, it's all right,
you'd be all right. There's actually more than ten thousand.
They just stopped coinding. I pointed this out. One of
my great fun facts. I love odd things like this,
(21:56):
the land of ten thousand lakes. That is for marketing
reasons that Minnesota actually has eleven thousand, eight hundred and
forty two lakes of ten acres or more. But we
love round numbers, so you stop. Ten thousand sounds more
impressive than eleven thousand, So you stop at ten thousand.
That's what they did. You've got time real quick for
(22:19):
little one over here. Hold on, Hold on a second,
I am on time, Mather, buy the clock for the
clock positive by all about the clock. We will check
in with half pint momentarily. Be sure to catch live
editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am
Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey, it's Ben, host of the
Fifth Hour with Ben Maller along with my trustee sidekick
(22:41):
David Gascon. Would mean a lot to have you join
us on our weekly auditory journey. You're asking one in
God's name is the Fifth Hour? I'll tell you it's
a spin off of that Ben Maller show. Colt hit
overnights on FSR. Why should you listen? Picture if you will?
A world will we chat with captains of industry in media, sports,
and more every week Explorer, some amazing facts about human
(23:02):
nature and more. Let's to the fifth Hour with Ben
Mallow on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you
get your podcast now Ben. As you know, in sports,
it's not uncommon for fans to storm the field or
the court after a big win. Doesn't really happen much
still before the game, but that is what happened in Manchester,
(23:23):
England before the Manchester United Liverpool match. Fans still pissed
off about this Super League situation and so but after
being led into the stadium, the fans took the field
and refused to leave. The game had to be postponed.
A police officer was sent to the hospital. So this
(23:45):
is you know, it's it's kind of funny, but not
funny to that guy. Obviously, the staff of the Manchester
United team had to lock themselves in a room because
fans had breached the like the inner workings there of
the stadium. This was before either team had actually reached
the stadium at this point. But the fans there are
(24:06):
very upset. They have never liked the fact that an
American family has bought Manchester United, and that that family is
the defending Super Bowl champion Glazier family who owns the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But yeah, they are not the team.
They do not, like the Americans own that team. Well,
did you see that the person who was getting online
(24:26):
bullied was one of our colleagues here who worked on
Fox Sports Radio's draft covers last week, Jay Glazer, Oh no,
I did not see. Apparently our friends in the UK
are not you know, they see it, they see the name,
they see this guy's got a lot of followers, you
(24:46):
know together. Oh I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
So they think like Jay Glazer is part of the
family and he's not. And I believe no relation to
Malcolm Glazer, the owner of the Hers. And so Jay
Glazer tweeted out over the weekend, he says, just to
be cleared for the thousandth time as I woke up
(25:07):
to all of this stuff sent my way on social media.
My family is from Brooklyn, not Tampa. We do not own, man,
You we can't sell because we don't own it. You
can't be that good a fan of them if you
think an NFL insider owns your team. Jay Glazers, Oh
(25:33):
that is true. That well, that shows you that Glazer
does check his mentions. You're not when you reach a
certain level of fame, you're not supposed to check your mentions.
But I'm not that famous, so I don't do that.
But but Glazer does check. Yeah, he's I thought he
was beyond that, but he does check his message. That's outstanding.
(25:54):
It's a great line too. You can't be that good
a fan of them if you think an NFL insider
own I'm sure they love that. Oh, that is great.
Have you ever been at a stadium where they stormed?
The crowd stormed? I was a part of that once
you were who did Fresno statement? They beat Oregon State,
(26:16):
who was ranked number one by the Sports Illustrated preseason
predictions uh in football in the season op? So oh
is all right? What they what they end up oho?
Oregon State? Yeah, probably like the twenties or something. It
was not a good prediction on there. I no, I
think it was Dennis Ericson. I was only pretty good.
(26:38):
That was on the best they've ever been. There was
one I remember it was I was doing radio for
an Oklahoma Nebraska football game. And this is twenty something
years ago. Two thousand was the years it's been twenty
twenty one years now, I guess, oh, what were you
eight years old? Yes, yes I was. I was just
a wink in my mom's eye. But I was there
in Norman, Oklahoma, and they they Nebraska had had this
(27:01):
vaunt back then. They were still respected and they had
this great off and I think they were the number
one team at the time, and Oklahoma would win the
championship that year. But they Oklahoma fell behind by a
couple of touchdowns early. They came back, they won the game,
and they stormed the field. I remember them carrying the
gold posts. They were trying to figure out how to
get the gold post out of the stadium, but they
couldn't figure out how to get them out, so they
(27:21):
had to leave them on the field. So that was cool.
I was the only time I've seen people like random,
like fans run on the field. I saw when another
old reference, but there was a picture for the Braves
named John Rocker, and somebody at Dodger Stadium ran out
the second base and mooned John Rocker pulled his pants
down right there at second base. That was that was
(27:41):
Did you go to jail over that anyway? All right?
So the Ben Mallers show this portion made possible by
discover card. We believe a better tomorrow as possible where
everyone discover something brighter. Let's go back to beer drinking, Brian,
and we'll talk to a half for a just a
half a pint? Hello, half pint? Do its blog in?
(28:06):
Not the Wow, it's the it's the claw here? I think?
Is is that what she said? No, it's the clog? Yeah? Okay,
did you watch Liar a Liar again this weekend? No?
You did? Do you own it? Now? Did you buy
(28:27):
a DVD copy of it? No? Ladi on DD? Okay?
So did they record it off to the TV from
the VCR or something BCR? Yeah, I think that's what
she said. I don't know, but a VCR. Yeah, they
had a VCR. I don't know. That's old. I'll take
(28:48):
that really shock you. Come on, No, do you guys
go to Blockbuster Video a lot? No, it's the clog. Well,
how can we help you? What's going on? Oh? No,
brought them? He said, you've kept him out. He hasn't
(29:10):
been in. He said, he's been out of the hospital.
He hasn't been in the hub. And you had some
legal trouble last week. Are you are you out of
the woods on that? Oh not yet, but I'm not
on my resipt. Oh yeah. For those that missed last
week's episode of the Tales of Half Pint and Beer
Drinking Brian, it was revealed that Half Pint has been
accused of stealing items from Walmart, and she claims she
(29:35):
says she has the receipt she did. What were you
accused exactly? What items were you accused of stealing? You
salam um um um, playing or whatnot in that reply?
(30:03):
And then I heard potato salad than something else that
was a three dollar item. And then a camera, Yes, yeah,
they're probably more the camera than the potato salad. The
scent thing. You plug it into the wall to make
(30:24):
your room, you might use that. And I got two
more though, and okay, all right, well then you're good.
You have the receipts and you have nothing to worry about. Yeah, okay, okay,
(30:45):
I want to move on though. Thank you that one.
It's a great sound. But man, is that that is
That's a good good audio right there. That is some
good audio. I don't give a ride on my dude.
JJ says this response from Jay Glazier was even better
(31:08):
than his first tweet and uh yeah, I'm looking at
he said, ah effort. After much consideration and many talks
with my family none and due to the fact that
the business is just getting in the way of my
day drinking, I have in fact decided to sell my
stake in Manchester United. This decision did not come easy.
(31:28):
That's good Terry and England. Who's close to the belly
of the beast there where all the Manchester fans are upset?
Says the Jay Glazier. Thing demonstrates the average soccer fans,
I q is similar to a heap of turds. Like
the game? Really? I like the game all right, very
(31:49):
very very nice. Here it is the Bain Maller show.
I did want to mention this. One of my favorite
stories from the NFL Draft goes to the newest member
of the Baltimore Ravens and offensive lineman by the name
of Ben Cleveland. Did you see this? This is outstanding.
So Ben Cleveland is a big fat offensive lineman and
(32:13):
his story here he told the story he back in
his younger days, he skipped school one day. He was
so hungry, so hungry to eat something, but he had
nothing at home that would take care of his appetite.
So what do you think a young Ben Cleveland did?
He was this is a third round pick in the NFL,
now the Ravens. What did he eat, Eddie? You want
(32:36):
to take a guess what he ate? All right? So
he had nothing? He had nothing. He was really hungry.
And yeah, how old was he? I didn't say exactly
all he was a kid though. He's like in you know,
let's say those packing peanuts. Peanuts. Yeah, all right, Roberto,
(32:59):
would you like to play our game? What did Ben Cleveland,
third round pick of the Ravens eat when he was
a kid? He was really hungry. He skipped school, but
he really wanted to eat something, and he had nothing
to eat. Plato Plato. All right, that's a good one.
I would have eaten Plato, as I think I did.
He played. One of my favorite meals when I was
(33:19):
in elementary school was Elmer's glue. I would I would
put it all over my fingers and it would dry,
and then I'd pick it off and eat it. It
was wonderful. Coop dog food, dog food. All right, you're
all wrong. According to his own words here as a child,
he's a Southern boy. The hockey talk man. He would
grab He grabbed a twenty two caliber and shot some
(33:42):
squirrels he saw in a tree in his backyard and
immediately cooked them up and ate squirrels. But that that, yeah,
he would imagine, Like listen, I couldn't maybe see shooting
(34:03):
the squirrel. But then the process of getting the squirrel
ready to eat would be the problem. Right, that would
be the that would you gotta you gotta skin it,
you gotta chop it up and get the organs out
of it and all that to eat it properly, right,
I mean, that's it's a lot of work. He did it.
Apparently I was in the NFL. See that, you eat
(34:25):
some squirrels when you're a kid, you might be in
the NFL. There you go. It's crazy, Yeah, you ever,
I don't even I wouldn't even know how to. I
like if you if I had a dead squirrel in
front of me and I had to cook it, I
don't think I would know what to do with it anyway.
I wouldn't no clue. I'd be disillusioned. All right. It
(34:45):
is the Ben Maller Show. Time now for the Insta trivia.

it's Meller. How about that? To the third degree, This
is one big band gets grilled, all right? Cool. There
was a report over the weekend that the Knicks are
iron a trade for Damian Lillard should he become available. Ben,
do you think the Blazers will ever trade Damian Lillard? Yes,
I'm sure the Knicks are eying Damian Lillard, Kawhi Leonard
(37:44):
Lebron James, come on, listen. Thumbs down on this. Damian
Lillards a Hall of Fame player. He says he wants
to stay in Portland. He's got a contract. He's not
going in. It's New York, Hubris, It's nonsense. It's not
gonna happen. Not that Portland's or Tropic will Paradise. It's not.
But he's not leaving next Ben. Paul Findbomb and an
(38:04):
analyst over at ESPN, was discussing the Patriots pick of
mac Jones when he mentioned that he's tired of Bill
Belichick's always getting the benefit of the doubt and accused
him of getting lazy. Late in his career. Do you
think Belichick's getting lazy? You know who's getting lazy, Paul
Findbomb's getting lazy. That's a lazy take. Belichick has earned
a benefit of the doubt. He's the greatest coach in
the history of the sport. That's how it works, dumbbo
(38:27):
and listen. Belichick plays all angles. Some picks work out,
most don't. Stop the nonsense by guys like Paul Findbomb. Next.
Francisco Lindor has been pretty terrible to start his career
with the Mets. He's hitting around the Mendoza lines, got
like a home running three rbi. Now some analysts are
saying that his struggles are more worrisome than a slump.
Do you think he'll snap out of it? Well, I
(38:48):
hope not. It's a good story if he doesn't snap
out of it. But he was poetry in motion with
the Indians. He's been the opposite with the Mets so far.
He's got the forever contract. You gotta think he at
least is average. He's horrible right now. He's stealing money.
He's betting one hundred when he doesn't swing at the
first pitch. But no, he'll he will play better he
(39:10):
can't play much worse. How do we do coop a loop?
He passed us. There it is. That's a winner. Putter
on the fark, Yeah, who
Hello and welcome. It's our Nomber two, our number two
of the Ben Maller Radio program. We play thumbs up
thumbs down on Deshaun Watson heading into the penalty box
missing the entire twenty twenty one NFL season. Will I
go thumbs up or will I go thumbs down? You'll
(00:23):
find out right now that and more. It's coming your
way here in our number two, hanging on by a thread.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour the Ben Maller Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we bluviate coast
(00:45):
to coast, border to border in beyond on the vast
and powerful microphones of fs are immanating live from under
the moonlight camelfly by the darkness the Fox Sports Radio
Studios could have you along for the ride here in
(01:06):
our lead this hour, coming from the confusion and chaos
around a disgraced NFL star the draft gone see you
later out of here, and we are talking about Deshaun
Watson and his rather shaky status. We did get a
clue during the draft about the future of Deshaun Watson.
(01:29):
It is time for our obligatory Watson Mallard monologue, so
we'll get into it. If you have not been paying attention,
there have not been many new updates. As the civil
lawsuits against Deshaun Watson continue to maintain study ground, it
is becoming more and more of reality here that the
(01:53):
Houston Texans are likely not going to have Deshaun Watson
at quarterback for the twenty twenty one season. Now, Adam
Schefter tells us that there is a belief that's weasel
terminology from some people in league circles that Watson will
not only miss the twenty twenty one regular season when
(02:14):
it comes around training camp set to open in July,
he will not be there for that. He will not
be there for the start of the season in September,
nor the balance of the seventeen game regular season in
his career in Houston is on ice. Right on ice,
the Texans quarterback likely Dunski as a quarterback for that
(02:36):
particular franchise. As of a Sunday, if you've been keeping track,
if you look at your scorecards, we have maintained twenty
two different women who have filed civil lawsuits against Watson,
a legend that he's a creepster. Now, Watson, who is
represented by the very powerful Texas defense attorney Rusty Harden.
(02:56):
He has denied all of these claims against him and
trying to sully his good name. Harden has requested a
trial by jury. Now, we did get a couple of
things that stood out over the weekend. NFL Commissioner Rogerick
Goodell was asked about the allegations against Deshaun Watson, and
he said the league was quote quote monitoring the situation.
(03:19):
I'm sure they are. How are they monitoring it on Twitter?
On Facebook, on Instagram, on sports radio? How are they monitting?
All right? So let us discuss the question. Are you
gonna go thumbs up thumbs down that Deshaun Watson will
sit out either by his choice or by the NFL's choice,
(03:40):
the twenty twenty one season. So the chances of Deshaun
Watson sitting out, I'm going to go thumbs up, all right,
thumbs up that Watson will miss this season. My observations,
You've got all twenty two hiccup and casting call, and
we will lock all of these things together. Now, number,
(04:03):
if Deshaun Watson only misses the twenty twenty one season,
he should consider himself extremely fortunate. Now, I didn't need
Adam Schefter to tell me that this was likely going
to be the case. We had said this several weeks ago.
Even our blindless is blind, Emmett, Blind Scott, all the
(04:26):
other blind callers that we have, they knew what was
going on here. And you don't even have to have
vision to know what's going on with DeShawn Watson. And
this validates a lot of what we had been saying.
This has the chance of being a career ending self
inflicted not injury activity. Right, Watson has lawsuits up the wazoo, which,
(04:51):
by the way, according to lawsuits, he doesn't mind having
things up the wazoo. Apparently. Now this is the all
twenty two of legal trauma. Twenty two women have filed,
as we said, separate civil lawsuits, all with the similar
signature behavior. Right, Deshaun was ordering massages and as payment,
(05:14):
he was offering some salami as payment, and that did
not go over well with at least twenty two of
the people here. He attempted to leave the tip behind
that was problematic and again based on the accusations he
has done his hundreds of times. He's just used Instagram
(05:35):
to try to get massages. But his defense is that
this was all just adult activity, consenting adult activity. When
every time he went bout chickawaw wow, it was all, okay,
everything's good here, right nothing, you know, we're all in
agreement bout chick owawaw just like that. Now, all of
this going on during the pandemic when we were told
(05:58):
our NFL players and everyone had to so fully distance
and wear a mask and all that, and my man
DeShawn was doing the dipsy though. He was having a
good old time there. Now, so we know Roger Goodelle
stepped in. He had talked about this, and he's gonna
do something. He's gonna do something. Now what is he
gonna do? We obviously don't know that yet. We can
speculate that's what we're gonna do. So Roger Goodell, I believe,
(06:21):
is going to take a supersonic torch to this particular
situation with DeShawn Watson. Now, I use Zeke Elliott as
an example. Zeke Elliott with a very flimsy case against him,
an unproven case against him, with very shaky evidence, and
we looked at the evidence and we said that's bullcrap.
(06:42):
Zeke Elliott should not be suspended. Roger Goodell looked at
the evidence, said, boom, six games. You're suspended, right, with unproven, unverified,
shaky evidence, six game suspension. So, with that being the
precedent being set by Roger Goodell, fair is fair, right.
Zeke Elliott very little evidence and certainly did not prove
anything beyond a reasonable without you got a sixty m suspension.
(07:05):
So if you base that precedent and you put the
Watson story in play here and you say that for
each claim, that is a six game suspension. So that means,
using the Maller math, one hundred and thirty two games
suspension for Deshaun Watson, which I think is over eight years.
I believe that's over eight years again based on it
(07:27):
doesn't matter whether these are actual legitimate claims or not,
but just the claim itself, because that's the precedent set
in the Zeke Elliott story. All Right, Now Part two
of this, Deshaun Watson is said to be working on
on a deal. It's one of the reasons that we've
heard very little about this story. Both lawyers Rusty Harden
(07:48):
and Tony Buzby have gone underground. They have for the
first month plus this story was in the public square.
We were getting weekly sometimes daily updates. We were giving
the obligatory daily Deshaun Watson Mala monologue, the state of
(08:09):
the Union type address from Tony Busby, and then Rusty
Harden would have the rebuttal from the other side, and
that went back and forth like a social media ping
pong match. They were trying to keep the story alive
and then trying to position the story. Now we have
gone to something that makes every blowhard on the radio
(08:29):
feel very very concerned. Radio silence. Right, we've gone to
radio silence. Do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man. Right.
The hiccup, and this is a big hiccup for Watson,
is very simple. He can negotiate, and he can make
a sweetheart offer and say, listen, I'm gonna give every
(08:50):
one of these women one hundred thousand dollars, right, I'm
gonna spend two point two million dollars to make this
goal away. But it's got to be one hundred percent
or no deal. Right, no deal, right, there's no in between.
There must be unanimous agreement, unanimous agreement by all twenty
(09:13):
two of the women who are accusing Deshaun Watson. They
all have to be willing to take the hush money
and go away and be called nasty Naimes or just
being money hungry blankety blanks. They have to be willing
to do that. Otherwise Deshaun Watson is better off just
going to trial and taking his chances. And we have
tons of digital evidence in play here, like everything was
(09:36):
typed out on a text message or on the Graham
and so that means it's pretty easy to determine who's
telling the truth and who said what, when they said it,
and what the context is always difficult. That's gonna be
the hard part. Right. You have the way things are
(09:58):
phrased and how they were interpret did, and you're gonna
have people who are gonna come in and if you
have a trial, you'll have people that will say, well,
this is what that really means, you know, because the phrasing,
and they'll be turning to Urban dictionary dot Com to
try to you know, certain phrases, Well that means, you know,
to normal people, this means blank, but other people it
means blank, and this group over here it means blank
(10:19):
blank blank blank blank. All right, final, So the Texans
actions speak louder than words. We mentioned Roger Goodell commented
on this, But they are going to be holding a
casting call to replace the Shaun Watts. It's an open audition.
If you can throw a football more than fifteen yards,
you might want to call the Texans up all in
(10:41):
an effort to fill the void left by Watson and
his creepy massages. Now, Tyrod Taylor was signed as a placeholder.
We mentioned this term last week about Teddy Bridgewater. It's
even more appropriate for Tyrod Taylor for a quarterback looks
better in theory than in reality. Solid acte player, knows
the offense, Coaches like him. He's simply not very good
(11:04):
when he plays as a starter. You're not doing well
if Tyrod Taylor is you're starting quarterback. Now, another clue
that the Texans are headed the opposite direction at quarterback
is when they decided to select someone named Davis Mills
with the number sixty seven pick over the weekend in
(11:25):
the National Football League Collegian Draft. Now, considering if you
look at the Texans draft, they didn't have a first
round pick, they didn't have a second round pick collateral
damage from the Bill O'Brien reign of terror. So with
the first pick they had the Texans snatched up this guy,
Davis Mills, who I didn't know who he was either.
(11:46):
So I went to the scouting reports that I have
and I was like, ah, I let me find out
about this guy. And I watched some clips on YouTube
and he played at Stanford. He's just like a generic
brand six foot four quarterback, good size, not an elite
player or just kind of an average college football quarterback. No,
not any great mobility to speak of. He's like a
(12:07):
nineteen eighties, nineties style quarterback. And one of the scouting reports,
just to give you an idea about how low the
bar is for a guy like Davis Mills, they said, well,
things go right for him in the NFL. He could
be like Andy Dalton. He could be like Andy Dalton
the NFL, which I believe means backup or fringe starter.
That that is the bar for Davis Mills. So that's
(12:28):
the guy that Texans drafted, along with Tyrod Taylor. As
Deshaun Watson goes into the penalty box at some point,
sooner than later, that's going to happen. It is the
Ben Maller Show. Good to have you along for the ride.
We'll take your phone calls eight seven seven ninety nine

live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
(14:14):
Robin Vegas has fantastic monologue. Ben. I'm giving it an
a minus every week. It seems like you're growing up
right in front of us. A Deshaun Watson monologue without
mentioning kilbassa sausage terso, Bologna, Bologne rather and or any
kind of vague penis reference. I am proud of you.
(14:37):
I don't think you were paying close attention. Just Josh
has one obligatory Deshaun Watson monologue, no sausage references. Rob Approved,
How long do you think this story runs before it
goes limp? I see what you see? What you're there?
Mark the full name guy, the lunatic from Medford, Oregon
who used to call the show, but he saved us
(14:57):
all from his terrible phone calls by because his phone broke,
he says, there he goes again. Judge Jury and injury
attorney Ben Maller is already counting out Deshaun Watson settlement
before one charge against him as proven. Yeah, hey, let
me tell you why dummy marked the full name guy
you moron. The reason I'm doing that is because if
(15:20):
you look at the Zeke Elliott case as President, there
was very flimsy evidence against Zeke Elliott. There were no
criminal chargers. He got a six game suspension by Roger Goodell.
And there was much more evidence in the twenty two
accusers of Deshaun Watson than there was against Zeke Elliot.
So by that standard, as I said, it's like an
(15:41):
eight year suspension fort Deshaun Watson. Jay in Florida says
he's a massage therapist. He says, I was a clinical
instructor at the school. Someone did that to one of
my students, and I went in and finished his massage
with very deep elbow work to his lower back. I
never saw him again at her school, he says. And
(16:05):
he also said that if somebody did that to one
of my students, he would cut his blank off, according
to according to Jay's that's what Jay had to say.
All right, let's go to the phones now. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. Let's say
hello to who do we have here? Any meany mighty mo.
(16:27):
Pick a caller by their name. Let's go to Rachel
in Montabello, the the candy benefactor boy. I am rich
in candy. Thank you very much, Rachel in Montabello. Two pounds, then,
I mean that's a lot. I mean, I U two pounds.
That's good. I'm gonna gain like fifteen pounds out with
that two pounds. But thank you, very very kind, very kind.
(16:48):
I was hoping that you'd share it with the guys.
I mean, that's I understand, well, I will share it. No,
I mean I got a bunch of mail. I went,
I made a mail run and I have not picked
up the mail. And sometimes so I picked up the
mail and I was going through the mail, and I
saw which you put there, Rachel. Thank you very much.
I do appreciate it, and I will make sure to
save some. I'm not gonna I can't eat all two pounds.
(17:09):
I mean, fat Ben, fat Ben would eat in all
two pounds. But I will share the sugar, but nets
and chuesday and that's the best. Yes, No, you've you've
done very well good work by you and did you
enjoy your birthdays? Yes, the birthday weekend was a lot
of eating. Hit some of the greats Tito's tacos. This
weekend I had that. I went to Langers, the greatest
(17:31):
deli in the world, right across from MacArthur Park. If
you need any kind of fake ID, if you ever
visit La, you need any kind of fake ID, contraband drugs,
whatever you need, it's right there in MacArthur Park. Diplomas,
diplomas you want. I think we told somebody I forget who,
if they wanted a vaccination car, you probably get that there.
Whatever you need, it's all available right there in the park. Ben,
(17:54):
what was your favorite storyline for the past week with
the NFL Draft Day one? No, no, no, no. I
liked the NFL Draft got upstaged by Aaron Rodgers and
Tim Tebow. See that that Trump. We spent months talking
about the NFL Draft and the players at the top
(18:14):
of the NFL Draft, and then like who expected that
that that Aaron Rodgers and Tim Tebow would overshadow the
draft and they did. They absolutely eclipsed the attention on
the draft. Well, I have question marks about Tim Tebow.
But I think Aaron Rodgers will be playing for the
Green Bay Packers this year. Is that your hot take?
(18:37):
Now you're predicting that, we're kind of guarantee. Yes. I
don't think Aaron Rodgers it would cool anything like that.
I think he's uh, you know, mad enough to play
out his contract, don't you No, No, he's a diva.
I would not shock me at all if Aaron Rodgers
this says, you know what, I'm getting married and they're
not gonna listen to me. I want this guy fired.
(18:58):
If they don't fire him, I'll just sit out. I'll wait.
I got the power here. I'm mister elite. I'm the
cream of the crop and screw those guys. And I
will just wait and then someone will get desperate and
trade for me, and I will make that whatever city
that is, I'll turn that into entitle Town, USA. That's
a beautiful misty band. We're gonna find out very soon.
(19:20):
See what you did there, I see what you did?
Thank got you? All right? Thank you? Rachel? All right?
I love you too. Here she goes our friend Rachel. Yeah,
I think before I eat the candy, I should just
like I should use it as weights. I can, I
can do arm exercises with the two pounds. The two
(19:41):
pounds will wait there, ab absolutely absolutely all Right to
the phones we go, and let's say hello to beer
drinking Brian. Who is next? Hello, beer drinking Brian's that
made it through another weekend. Congratulations bear drinking Brian. Yeah,
nobody in the house, well, nobody in jail, So it's good. Um.
(20:03):
It's the little things in life that really matter, isn't it. Yes? Yeah, well,
you know, I think Aaron Rodgers to put on a
dove cat, getting that nasty chair with Roger Goodell talk
about Jeopardy in retirement or have them aliens whoever said
that or dropped him off cly, as long as he
gets out of the NFC, I don't care. That'd be awesome. Now,
(20:26):
I remember an old packer quarterback, I means before my time,
beer drinking Brian, who was mister Green Bay Packer, and
then he eventually wore the purple of the Vikings. Would
you be with you will be willing to put another
former packer quarterback into the Minnesota Viking uniform. Well, he'd
have to go to New York or somewhere else first,
(20:48):
you know, just like grangler man, Dude, how many first
round picks? Let's just say the packers who woke up
and said, you know what, we're gonna trade this guy.
We think Rogers is washed up almost he's late thirties,
so we're gonna get We're gonna get rid of. How
many first round picks would you be willing to trade?
Beer drinking Brian, I do two cousins and two first
(21:13):
cousins in the six and maybe one of our other
loser kickers or something. Yeah, well that would certainly clinch
the deal. Yes, a loser kicker? What you do? Maybe
I can get thrown in on the deal. I don't know, Bryan.
The Vikings will just screw up the picks anyway. So
you trade like three first round picks, two second round picks,
(21:34):
Kirk cousins in seven lakes, and you send those over
to the packers and then that's it. You got ten
thousand lakes. You don't need nine nine ninety three lakes
or something to fishing, So it's okay, it's all right,
you'd be all right. There's actually more than ten thousand.
They just stopped coinding. I pointed this out. One of
my great fun facts. I love odd things like this,
(21:56):
the land of ten thousand lakes. That is for marketing
reasons that Minnesota actually has eleven thousand, eight hundred and
forty two lakes of ten acres or more. But we
love round numbers, so you stop. Ten thousand sounds more
impressive than eleven thousand, So you stop at ten thousand.
That's what they did. You've got time real quick for
(22:19):
little one over here. Hold on, Hold on a second,
I am on time, Mather, buy the clock for the
clock positive by all about the clock. We will check
in with half pint momentarily. Be sure to catch live
editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am
Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey, it's Ben, host of the
Fifth Hour with Ben Maller along with my trustee sidekick
(22:41):
David Gascon. Would mean a lot to have you join
us on our weekly auditory journey. You're asking one in
God's name is the Fifth Hour? I'll tell you it's
a spin off of that Ben Maller show. Colt hit
overnights on FSR. Why should you listen? Picture if you will?
A world will we chat with captains of industry in media, sports,
and more every week Explorer, some amazing facts about human
(23:02):
nature and more. Let's to the fifth Hour with Ben
Mallow on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you
get your podcast now Ben. As you know, in sports,
it's not uncommon for fans to storm the field or
the court after a big win. Doesn't really happen much
still before the game, but that is what happened in Manchester,
(23:23):
England before the Manchester United Liverpool match. Fans still pissed
off about this Super League situation and so but after
being led into the stadium, the fans took the field
and refused to leave. The game had to be postponed.
A police officer was sent to the hospital. So this
(23:45):
is you know, it's it's kind of funny, but not
funny to that guy. Obviously, the staff of the Manchester
United team had to lock themselves in a room because
fans had breached the like the inner workings there of
the stadium. This was before either team had actually reached
the stadium at this point. But the fans there are
(24:06):
very upset. They have never liked the fact that an
American family has bought Manchester United, and that that family is
the defending Super Bowl champion Glazier family who owns the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But yeah, they are not the team.
They do not, like the Americans own that team. Well,
did you see that the person who was getting online
(24:26):
bullied was one of our colleagues here who worked on
Fox Sports Radio's draft covers last week, Jay Glazer, Oh no,
I did not see. Apparently our friends in the UK
are not you know, they see it, they see the name,
they see this guy's got a lot of followers, you
(24:46):
know together. Oh I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
So they think like Jay Glazer is part of the
family and he's not. And I believe no relation to
Malcolm Glazer, the owner of the Hers. And so Jay
Glazer tweeted out over the weekend, he says, just to
be cleared for the thousandth time as I woke up
(25:07):
to all of this stuff sent my way on social media.
My family is from Brooklyn, not Tampa. We do not own, man,
You we can't sell because we don't own it. You
can't be that good a fan of them if you
think an NFL insider owns your team. Jay Glazers, Oh
(25:33):
that is true. That well, that shows you that Glazer
does check his mentions. You're not when you reach a
certain level of fame, you're not supposed to check your mentions.
But I'm not that famous, so I don't do that.
But but Glazer does check. Yeah, he's I thought he
was beyond that, but he does check his message. That's outstanding.
(25:54):
It's a great line too. You can't be that good
a fan of them if you think an NFL insider
own I'm sure they love that. Oh, that is great.
Have you ever been at a stadium where they stormed?
The crowd stormed? I was a part of that once
you were who did Fresno statement? They beat Oregon State,
(26:16):
who was ranked number one by the Sports Illustrated preseason
predictions uh in football in the season op? So oh
is all right? What they what they end up oho?
Oregon State? Yeah, probably like the twenties or something. It
was not a good prediction on there. I no, I
think it was Dennis Ericson. I was only pretty good.
(26:38):
That was on the best they've ever been. There was
one I remember it was I was doing radio for
an Oklahoma Nebraska football game. And this is twenty something
years ago. Two thousand was the years it's been twenty
twenty one years now, I guess, oh, what were you
eight years old? Yes, yes I was. I was just
a wink in my mom's eye. But I was there
in Norman, Oklahoma, and they they Nebraska had had this
(27:01):
vaunt back then. They were still respected and they had
this great off and I think they were the number
one team at the time, and Oklahoma would win the
championship that year. But they Oklahoma fell behind by a
couple of touchdowns early. They came back, they won the game,
and they stormed the field. I remember them carrying the
gold posts. They were trying to figure out how to
get the gold post out of the stadium, but they
couldn't figure out how to get them out, so they
(27:21):
had to leave them on the field. So that was cool.
I was the only time I've seen people like random,
like fans run on the field. I saw when another
old reference, but there was a picture for the Braves
named John Rocker, and somebody at Dodger Stadium ran out
the second base and mooned John Rocker pulled his pants
down right there at second base. That was that was
(27:41):
Did you go to jail over that anyway? All right?
So the Ben Mallers show this portion made possible by
discover card. We believe a better tomorrow as possible where
everyone discover something brighter. Let's go back to beer drinking, Brian,
and we'll talk to a half for a just a
half a pint? Hello, half pint? Do its blog in?
(28:06):
Not the Wow, it's the it's the claw here? I think?
Is is that what she said? No, it's the clog? Yeah? Okay,
did you watch Liar a Liar again this weekend? No?
You did? Do you own it? Now? Did you buy
(28:27):
a DVD copy of it? No? Ladi on DD? Okay?
So did they record it off to the TV from
the VCR or something BCR? Yeah, I think that's what
she said. I don't know, but a VCR. Yeah, they
had a VCR. I don't know. That's old. I'll take
(28:48):
that really shock you. Come on, No, do you guys
go to Blockbuster Video a lot? No, it's the clog. Well,
how can we help you? What's going on? Oh? No,
brought them? He said, you've kept him out. He hasn't
(29:10):
been in. He said, he's been out of the hospital.
He hasn't been in the hub. And you had some
legal trouble last week. Are you are you out of
the woods on that? Oh not yet, but I'm not
on my resipt. Oh yeah. For those that missed last
week's episode of the Tales of Half Pint and Beer
Drinking Brian, it was revealed that Half Pint has been
accused of stealing items from Walmart, and she claims she
(29:35):
says she has the receipt she did. What were you
accused exactly? What items were you accused of stealing? You
salam um um um, playing or whatnot in that reply?
(30:03):
And then I heard potato salad than something else that
was a three dollar item. And then a camera, Yes, yeah,
they're probably more the camera than the potato salad. The
scent thing. You plug it into the wall to make
(30:24):
your room, you might use that. And I got two
more though, and okay, all right, well then you're good.
You have the receipts and you have nothing to worry about. Yeah, okay, okay,
(30:45):
I want to move on though. Thank you that one.
It's a great sound. But man, is that that is
That's a good good audio right there. That is some
good audio. I don't give a ride on my dude.
JJ says this response from Jay Glazier was even better
(31:08):
than his first tweet and uh yeah, I'm looking at
he said, ah effort. After much consideration and many talks
with my family none and due to the fact that
the business is just getting in the way of my
day drinking, I have in fact decided to sell my
stake in Manchester United. This decision did not come easy.
(31:28):
That's good Terry and England. Who's close to the belly
of the beast there where all the Manchester fans are upset?
Says the Jay Glazier. Thing demonstrates the average soccer fans,
I q is similar to a heap of turds. Like
the game? Really? I like the game all right, very
(31:49):
very very nice. Here it is the Bain Maller show.
I did want to mention this. One of my favorite
stories from the NFL Draft goes to the newest member
of the Baltimore Ravens and offensive lineman by the name
of Ben Cleveland. Did you see this? This is outstanding.
So Ben Cleveland is a big fat offensive lineman and
(32:13):
his story here he told the story he back in
his younger days, he skipped school one day. He was
so hungry, so hungry to eat something, but he had
nothing at home that would take care of his appetite.
So what do you think a young Ben Cleveland did?
He was this is a third round pick in the NFL,
now the Ravens. What did he eat, Eddie? You want
(32:36):
to take a guess what he ate? All right? So
he had nothing? He had nothing. He was really hungry.
And yeah, how old was he? I didn't say exactly
all he was a kid though. He's like in you know,
let's say those packing peanuts. Peanuts. Yeah, all right, Roberto,
(32:59):
would you like to play our game? What did Ben Cleveland,
third round pick of the Ravens eat when he was
a kid? He was really hungry. He skipped school, but
he really wanted to eat something, and he had nothing
to eat. Plato Plato. All right, that's a good one.
I would have eaten Plato, as I think I did.
He played. One of my favorite meals when I was
(33:19):
in elementary school was Elmer's glue. I would I would
put it all over my fingers and it would dry,
and then I'd pick it off and eat it. It
was wonderful. Coop dog food, dog food. All right, you're
all wrong. According to his own words here as a child,
he's a Southern boy. The hockey talk man. He would
grab He grabbed a twenty two caliber and shot some
(33:42):
squirrels he saw in a tree in his backyard and
immediately cooked them up and ate squirrels. But that that, yeah,
he would imagine, Like listen, I couldn't maybe see shooting
(34:03):
the squirrel. But then the process of getting the squirrel
ready to eat would be the problem. Right, that would
be the that would you gotta you gotta skin it,
you gotta chop it up and get the organs out
of it and all that to eat it properly, right,
I mean, that's it's a lot of work. He did it.
Apparently I was in the NFL. See that, you eat
(34:25):
some squirrels when you're a kid, you might be in
the NFL. There you go. It's crazy, Yeah, you ever,
I don't even I wouldn't even know how to. I
like if you if I had a dead squirrel in
front of me and I had to cook it, I
don't think I would know what to do with it anyway.
I wouldn't no clue. I'd be disillusioned. All right. It
(34:45):

it's Meller. How about that? To the third degree, This
is one big band gets grilled, all right? Cool. There
was a report over the weekend that the Knicks are
iron a trade for Damian Lillard should he become available. Ben,
do you think the Blazers will ever trade Damian Lillard? Yes,
I'm sure the Knicks are eying Damian Lillard, Kawhi Leonard
(37:44):
Lebron James, come on, listen. Thumbs down on this. Damian
Lillards a Hall of Fame player. He says he wants
to stay in Portland. He's got a contract. He's not
going in. It's New York, Hubris, It's nonsense. It's not
gonna happen. Not that Portland's or Tropic will Paradise. It's not.
But he's not leaving next Ben. Paul Findbomb and an
(38:04):
analyst over at ESPN, was discussing the Patriots pick of
mac Jones when he mentioned that he's tired of Bill
Belichick's always getting the benefit of the doubt and accused
him of getting lazy. Late in his career. Do you
think Belichick's getting lazy? You know who's getting lazy, Paul
Findbomb's getting lazy. That's a lazy take. Belichick has earned
a benefit of the doubt. He's the greatest coach in
the history of the sport. That's how it works, dumbbo
(38:27):
and listen. Belichick plays all angles. Some picks work out,
most don't. Stop the nonsense by guys like Paul Findbomb. Next.
Francisco Lindor has been pretty terrible to start his career
with the Mets. He's hitting around the Mendoza lines, got
like a home running three rbi. Now some analysts are
saying that his struggles are more worrisome than a slump.
Do you think he'll snap out of it? Well, I
(38:48):
hope not. It's a good story if he doesn't snap
out of it. But he was poetry in motion with
the Indians. He's been the opposite with the Mets so far.
He's got the forever contract. You gotta think he at
least is average. He's horrible right now. He's stealing money.
He's betting one hundred when he doesn't swing at the
first pitch. But no, he'll he will play better he
(39:10):
can't play much worse. How do we do coop a loop?
He passed us. There it is. That's a winner. Putter
on the fark, Yeah, who
