Nothing quite like a quarterback, a quarterback enraged dot great
for our business, Thank God for social media, the gift
that keeps giving. A former NFL quarterback calling out an
X teammate, And we will dissect that because that's why

(00:47):
I don't know your position on this, and maybe you'll
tell me, maybe you won't. But for me, there's nothing
quite like a former headliner in the NFL becoming unhinged.
I like it. Does that make me a bad person
that I joy this? That I know there's some schaden
freud involved in this, that I'm taking great joy in
other people's misery, But I really do like it. Like

(01:08):
I was beaming all day. I was like, this is great.
I get to go into the radio station and no
one will be around. Just be short staff here, My
guys will be here. Danny G. And Eddie and Coop,
and then I get to talk about this. I'm really
excited about. It's like therapy for But we're talking about
Robert Griffin the third. Now, have you been paying attention?

(01:31):
Have you been monitoring what's going on? You have not? Okay, good?
So I can fill in the blanks here. Perhaps you
you missed some of the details here. It all began
a long, long time ago when Robert Griffin the third
was thought of as the messiah of the Washington Redskins.
But it was so long ago the night that the

(01:53):
Redskins made the trade with the Rams, the Saint Louis
Rams to get RG three. I was still doing TV
at that time. That's how long ago that was. But
it was just a shocking, shocking revelation, right, RG three
going to the Redskins. We know how it worked out.
We have we have the gift of time on our side.
We can look back at that and say, well, yeah,

(02:16):
you know, he got off to a great Sorry, it
turned out that he was a one hit wonder with
the twenty twelve Redskins RG three, right, and so that
led to a mediocre career. Most of the time he
was hurt and RG three out of the NFL right now.
He played some for the Browns last year. He's nowhere
right now. And Santana Moss, a former teammate go to

(02:39):
receiver for the Redskins, made a cameo appearance on DC
Sports Radio. And whatever happens on sports radio stays on
sports radio unless you tell someone what was said on
sports radio, and then they get upset. And in this interview,
Santana Moss made all kinds of claim among those claims

(03:01):
that RG three heard about that Robert Griffin the third
got what he deserved. Essentially, That's what Santana Mass said.
And did we have the other okay, rather than me
parrot what Santana Mass said, Let's go to the audio
tape here, and we've got redskin on red skin crime.
I guess is that what you call it? NFL on
NFL crime? I don't know, you decide, let's listen in.

(03:23):
This is what got Robert Griffin the third and raid
the little credit that he did take for saying that, hey,
you know they didn't like what I was doing, or
they didn't they benched me in and now allow me
to play. That's what happens. So twenty fourteen comes and
you got Jay Gruten comes in and he don't care.
He rips RG every chance he gets every meeting. And

(03:45):
we're sitting there looking like, yeah, you know what, you
were just so happy that Mike and Caldum is gone.
But now you're getting your behind ripped every day because
you're not playing the kind of football that we need
to play for us to be successful. So you know it,
come back and biteching you behind because now you see
this guy is at home. Oh you're at home, of course,
still Santana Moss, he's also at home. But that's fine.

(04:06):
He's had a long career. He's like, he didn't suck.
He played a long time in the NFL. All right,
so let's talk about this now. The key points of
that Moss claiming that RG three, as he heard, got
what he deserved there. He did a victory lap essentially
and was taking credit for being responsible for the dismissal
of Shanahan and Shanahan and Moss also pointing out that

(04:29):
Jay Gruden, as you heard in front of the entire team,
unloaded on RG three. So that what that sound bite,
which was pretty mellow, I mean, you got to admit
that Santana Moss. He didn't raise his voice. He kept
the same monotone delivery during that answer. That that was
what sent RG three once he heard about it into

(04:51):
a nuclear rage. He was very upset, right, and he
went on a tie rade on social media. RG three
trying to let all some steam. Now some of the highlights.
There's a lot of stuff here, and we only have
limited time, so we can't get to everything, but I'll
give you the highlights. He accused. Robert Griffin the third
accused Santana Moss of being guilty of lying. And the

(05:13):
word that really has resonated because it's a powerful word, betrayal.
That's a good word, betrayal. Oh my god, sant Santana Moss,
you've committed betrayal. How dare you? You're going to hell
because of betrayal. RG three also said that he was

(05:34):
put in a quote impossible situation where they coach Mike
Shanahan who never wanted. In addition, RG three bragging about
how hard he worked and he showed up early, he
left late, patting himself on the back. Claimed he's quote
been a good soldier, it was a football player. Maybe

(05:56):
that's the problem, all right, so let's let's break this
down here. The question does this rant claiming, lying and
betrayal by Robert Griffin the Third, does this help or
hurt RG three? I'll go first, you can answer later.
I'm gonna go it hurts. I want to go it now.
It's good for us, it helps us, and on some

(06:17):
level it makes him feel a little better Robert Griffin
the Third because he lets off some scene. But in
the long run, very similar to Kevin Durant and his
misstep on Twitter, it helps confirm the things that have
been said about Robert Griffin the Third, much like Kevin Durant,
this is a great week in that department. Back to

(06:40):
Back and Belly to Belly, we've had two players that
are thought of as diva douches and back to back
days the s hits the fan and both at their
own doing here. But the thoughts on this, obviously you've
got bad blood involved. Where there's smoke, there's fire dysfunction injunction,

(07:00):
which is the Redskins nickname that franchise. Moniker should should
put that on top of the locker room. And there's
also some kind of parallel universe which is in play here.
But we'll start with this. We have a lot of
layers to the Redskins. Like the Redskins have been great
at producing drama. They've been so good on the field
for a long time. But the Redskins that franchise, there's

(07:23):
a lot of stuff going on. And when you peel
back the onion with Dan Snyder, you've got Santana Moss
breaking the code, breaking the fraternal order, the brotherhood of
NFL players, you know, all athletes. What I always say,
athletes make terrible broadcasters because they don't want to break
the fraternity. The ones that do are great. Charles Barkley
doesn't give an f he'll rip anybody, good broadcaster. Most

(07:46):
of these guys are hacks because they don't want to
rip other athletes because they're part of the fraternity for life.
And so Santana Moss and I don't even think that
was that big a burn. I didn't think that was terrible.
What I've even brought this up. If RG three had
a hissy fit and a pouty face, no the answers, no,
I would not have brought this up. But because RG
three did, it gives us an avenue to go down

(08:09):
that road, like Santana Moss. He broke the code, right,
he broke the code. So that's the first layer of this.
And then when you peel back further, it's pretty clear
that all of those very interesting stories that we're talked
about back in the years of RG three with the Redskins,

(08:29):
in the twenty twelve twenty thirteen period, all of those
stories appear to have some truth. It's not just media
hype and oh, that's just media stirring. The pot No, no, no,
the bad blood, the hurt feelings, legit, legit. Clearly, you
gotta admit that's there's something here. And the second part

(08:50):
of this much has been said and written and repeated
as it gets tossed into the echo chamber of sports dialogue.
You talk about RG three, But there there's always you know,
the old line goes, there's three sides to the story.
In this case, you've got RG three, you've got Mike Shanahan,
and then somewhere else you've got the truth, which is involved.

(09:10):
But this is an odd one. Like from where I'm
sitting right now, this is like ninety eight percent, ninety
eight percent of the chatter reaches the same conclusion. Robert
Griffin giant douche. That's where it comes down, right, Am
I wrong? No, I'm not wrong on that. Come, I
admit I'm right on that. Can I get that? Yes?
All right, you're shaking your head. Yes. And as far

(09:33):
as the where's there's smoke, there's fire again, I go
back to the point that a lot of these stories
were downplayed by people around the Redskins. And that's why
I always say I don't believe the downplay. I don't
believe it. The stories about RG three going around the
coaching staff circumventing Shannahan. That's one of the arguments that
I'm not a big Shanahan guy either. You spend a

(09:53):
few minute, few too many hours in the sun tan
bed so I'm not a big fan of his either.
But I you'd understand if you're the coach and the
quarterback is circumventing you and going around to hang out
at cocktail parties with Dan Snyder, the owner, how that
might not go over well. I could get that. I
think any of us could get that. That. You can

(10:15):
understand that's not necessarily the way it's supposed to work.
The protocol is not right. And so he had his
own set of rules. He was the owner's pet Robert
Griffin until he wasn't because he stunk, And Mike Shanahan
is not completely clean. His hands aren't completely clean here.
Shanahan is legendary in NFL circles for leaking a lot

(10:40):
of crap to his buddies. Like it's well documented by
those around the NFL media that Shanahan is going to
if he wants to kill someone incinerate someone. Media wise,
He's got all the buddies, he knows where all of
the bodies are buried there, and so that creates more
of that dysfunction junction with the Reds. But again it's

(11:00):
all of it good, good for us, wonderful for us.
So the last thing here, the parting shot. The original
question was does this RG three drama help or hurt him?
Now it hurts, as I say, because of confirmation, but
it also helps because it keeps his name out there.
It's also predictable that RG three would be so thin

(11:21):
skinned and delusional to think that this Twitter manifesto that
he put out there is going to clean everything up
and continues to be a guy who seems to be
living in some kind of parallel universe. I wonder what
it's like there. I wonder what's going on in that
parallel world of Robert Griffin the third. Now I'm gonna
give him a pep talk. See I do positive radio.

(11:43):
One thing I've always done my entire career here is
I take a bath in positivity everything. I don't look
at the negative. No, no, no, that's other shows, not here.
We are positive all the way through and through. That's
why people listen to the show. You are listening because
you want to hear positive sports conversation. So let me

(12:05):
give him a pep talk. I'm gonna give you the
same pep talk RG three that I gave Johnny Manziel
And it's it's kind of a song I'd like to sing.
Can I sing it? Hear it? Oh, it's two words.
It's pretty good, right in a musical feature a future
I could handle that. And no, no, no, no, listen

(12:28):
RG three. Head to the Great White North, go to Canada,
beg for a job, whether it's Hamilton or some other
bottom feeding Canadian Football League team. If you really love football,
that show you can still play and the most important
thing is just to be healthy. That's the advice right there.
That's the pep talk. Better than that, better than this guy.

(12:55):
I'm better than that stop, much better than that. So
the Ben Maller Show you're listening to Fox Sports Radio,
Edmund Dallas, Steamboat, Willie Garcia, Bigger Douche, Kevin Durant, RG
three go Um, I'm gonna say, Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant

(13:19):
not much better, much better player as well, but I'm
gonna go RG three. I'm gonna go RG three. It's close,
but I'm gonna go RG three. What do you think
the should I put a flash pole up on the
for the Mallard militia to vote? Who do you think
the Mallard militia? Will it be a fair pole or
one of your rig poles? I don't do rigged poles, Eddie.
This is fair and balance. That's what we do here

(13:40):
on the up and up. We're transparent, you know exactly
where we stand. We don't do any kind of a
shenanigans on this show. We are boring sports radio. That's
what we do. Try to be as boring as we
possibly can. Predictable, boring, tired sports radio, like all the
other crappy shows. That's what we want to be like
we strive to be like that. I have no idea
who the who the good people would vote for. I'm

(14:00):
gonna say. I'm gonna say Kevin durand about because he's relevant.
I think people just don't care about RG three Big
three douche contest. Who's who's the third doch? David Price?
Come on, David Price, Red Sox Pitcher got into it
with Eckersley and the plane, the team plane. I know
that you've I don't want to say you've got it

(14:22):
out for him, but he's one of your favorite douches.
I could such a thing, but I couldn't come up
with somebody better than David Price. That's a pretty good douche.
How about how about Benji Molina the cheating Cardinals. I
could always do him. I could put him in there. No,
that would be Yadi here Molina, Oh, Yadi Benji Malia?
All right, there several Malinas. The choice I picked na,

(14:44):
I'm thinking there's no no in baseball? How about bum guarder?
How about that? But it's about Lebron. I could do Lebron. Yeah,
he's of douche. Yeah, but Lebron's never coop Lebron's never
done that. Durant. He hasn't. He hasn't been on Twitter
at least, haven't caught him yet responding to trolls from

(15:04):
a like thought he was on a fake account. I
got Durant ahead of Lebron's high up. But now it's tough.
I only can have four. I can't have more than four.
So I've got RG three, I've got Durant. I guess
I could do Lebron and Price. That could be the four.
Should I put that? Well that would be a way

(15:25):
to uh, you know, cut through it. You can't decide
on just three. So it's we're overwhelming difficult decisions for sure,
is what we've got here. Yeah, all right, Well this
is exciting, Eddie. This is why I'm excited to be here. Man,
only imagine the vote totals and the hundreds of people
that will vote, maybe thousands of people that will vote

(15:45):
on this. It's just gonna be great. Hey. Yes, we
had an old Ben Maller show legend calling yesterday zig Zaggy,
So I thought it might be interesting to let you
know that an old school listener is listening tonight. Yeah,
because his dryer conked out on him. So he's at
a laundromat drying his clothes and listening to the show.

(16:10):
Bread Man. Oh, the bread Man is listening. I've met
bread Man. We're friends for life. We had a meal
together with Pete and Pittsburgh, who's also on my douche list,
but me and the bread Man. We all hung out
there PREMANI brothers, you've been there, of course, in the
in the Steel District in Pittsburgh. It's great, wonderful time
because when your appliances go out on you, the Ben

(16:30):
Maller shows here for you. We are here for you. Yes,
when all else is not and no one else is
awake to talk to on the phone or the text,
we are here. That's that's the motto of the show.
Should I give out then I don't want to give
out the name. I don't want to talk to anybody.
Maybe later I'll give out the number. All right, The
Ben Maller Show. Are you're listening to Fox Sports Radio?
We thank you for that. We appreciate that quite a bit.

(16:53):
And how about eating yourself into the poorhouse. We'll get
to that. We'll do it next. The Ben Mahler Show
is coming to you live from the Geico Fox Sports
Radio Studios. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or
more on car insurance than a Visit Geico dot com
for a free rate quote and now live from the
Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios, it's Ben Mahler eating yourself

(17:22):
into the poorhouse. We'll get to that coming up in
a moment. The poll is up. You can vote right now.
The biggest douche in American sports today. We oh, we're
limited to four options. There's why hundreds of options we
could go with, but we we only had four. And
if people upset, people say where's KAEPERNICKY could have put
Kaepernick in there. Bryce Harper. People have said Harper wasn't there.

(17:45):
Now this guy, aunt Man, I hope he calls in.
I haven't given out the number. If you know the number,
ant Man, call in right now. He claims that he
ran into Lebron James today and he says that Lebron
is an FFing a is what he's said. So I
love a good story like that. So if you do
have that story, aunt Man, and it's legit, well how

(18:05):
would we know. But even if it's not legit, I
want you to call up and give me the story.
I want to hear the details. I want I want
to get the bottom of that. He's an effing A. Yeah,
but you want to say, and you can dump me,
I say, yes, exactly, Yes, of course. I want to
know where this took place. I would to know did

(18:26):
did the guy at aunt Man try to approach Lebron
and Lebron was a jerk? I want to know the detail.
Maybe we'll get to the bottom of that. Well. Eating
Yourself to the Poorhouse. Tom Brady's got a new book out,
and it's one of these Tony Robbins like self help,
diet book. It's a whole lot of stuff in this book.
So I'm not gonna buy the book, but I have

(18:48):
seen several excerts of the book, which are available online.
And Tom Brady in this book, he's trying to teach you,
the reader, how to live like him, how to achieve
a lifetime of sustained peak performance. Hey, where do white
women at? Now? A couple of things on the number one,

(19:09):
what's the average age of a person that's gonna buy
this book? Wouldn't you say? The average age is like
forty plus, probably older than that, don't you? Is that
a fair statement? Like, I don't think and maybe I'm
completely wrong this. I have no idea how the book
mark it is. Are there a lot of like seventeen
year olds and eighteen year olds. He's gonna be like,
I want to buy Tom Brady's TB twelve method book. Yeah,

(19:33):
I don't think so. So if you're already forty or
fifty years old and you've had a lifetime of pepperoni
pizza and cheeseburgers, do you believe that you're gonna get
sustained peak performance? Probably not. But it's a diet book.
It's like a it's like a Tony Robin slash diet
type book for Tom Brady, and he claiming this is

(19:55):
all the stuff that he's done. This is why he's
able to play until he's forty plus years old in
the NFL. And so this diet was dissected and they
broke it down. And of course another layer of this
Tom Brady is trying to sell these products that you

(20:15):
can have peak performance. So he's like, he's telling you
how you can have peak performance. Oh, by the way,
I'll sell you the crap that'll give you a peak reform.
So that's part of the scam, and so they did
the math. The people over the street did the math
from what I was reading here, and they said, if
you were to eat the tom Brady diet, right, if
you were to consume all of the different foods that

(20:38):
Tom Brady wants you to consume to have peak performance,
how much do you think that would cost you a
year worth of diet the tom Brady way for one person,
what do you think that would cost you? Well, the
answer is this is great. The answer is sixteen thousand

(21:00):
dollars a year. You would have to spend That is
twenty seven percent of the median household income in the
United States. Now, I don't know about you, and I've
said some really nice things. I have done it. I've
slobbered all over Tom Brady here on the radio. I
ain't spending sixteen grand on a diet twenty seven percent

(21:23):
of the medium household income in the US to buy
electrolytes and god knows what else he's he's doing his diet.
They've got smoothies, fruit nuts, and seeds. Just for that.
For the smoothie, fruit nuts and seeds, you'll need fifteen
hundred dollars a year if you want a snack like

(21:44):
Tom Brady. That's three thousand and fifty dollars a year.
You got that protein powder alone is thirteen hundred dollars
a year, So it all adds up to about sixteen
thousand dollars six years. I love Tom Brady. I would
cuddle with him. That's how cool he is. I ain't

(22:04):
gonna drink. I ain't gonna drink the smoothies though I ain't.
I ain't doing that. And also in this book, Brady
claims that on an average day, he drinks anywhere from
twelve to twenty five cups of water every day. Twenty five.
You must pee like a racehorse, right, can you imagine

(22:24):
Tom Brady? It is a It must be NonStop urination
at Tom Brady's house. You imagine Giselle's there with the kids.
They probably got a nanny and a couple of bodyguards.
Where's Tom. Oh he's urinate, and we go he's at
the urinal Tom's Oh, yeah, he's over there. Yeah, that's
what he's doing. Every everything he drinks. They said he

(22:46):
has to put these electro likes it. I was gonna
kick out of this stuff because I've often pointed out
and I should try to live a healthy life. But
the healthiest person in the world's going to meet the
same fate the most unhealthy person in the world's gonna mean,
maybe maybe they had a couple extra year year out
of it, but they're gonna end up in the same spot.
All right, it's the Ben Mallers Show. You're listening to
Fox Sports Radio, and we appreciate that bucket. Bucket. We'll

(23:10):
get to that. It's not what you think. He's not
what you think. We will get to that right now though.
Edmund Dallas Steamboat Willie Garcia with the latest Eddie. All right,
let's check in on baseball, Ben. We got twelve days
left in the regular season, so we'll check on the
games of note, including the Cubs and defending World Series champs,
running their wind streak to seven in a row with
a two one win over the Rays. The Brewers shut

(23:32):
off the Pirates one nothing. Milwaukee's a game back of
Colorado for the second wildcard spot in the National League
as the Rockies fell on the Giants four to three,
Dodgers losing the Philly six two, but LA's magic number
to wrap at the NL West is down to two
because the Dominvacks lost the Pod Rays six to two.
Yankees over the Twins five two. Minnesota's lead for that
second wildcard spot in the America League still at a
game and a half on the Angels, as the Angels

(23:53):
lost for the Indian six three, and in eleven innings
the Red Sox get by the Orioles a one to nothing.
Boston is still three up on the York but the
Al East lead. The report is brought to you by
True Car. With True Car, you can find out what
other people in your area pay for the same car
you're looking for, new or used. Visit True Car and
enjoy more confident car buying experience in ben I don't
know if you saw it, but Alex Gordon of the
Royals made major League history hitting a solo home run

(24:16):
in the eighth inning. And that was the five thousand,
six ninety fourth home run this season. And that is
the most home runs ever hit in a Major League
Baseball season. The old record was said in two thousand,
in the height of the steroid era. Am I supposed
to be excited about this? I was gonna ask you
about that. I'm not am I How should I feel?
I don't feel anything. I feel empty. Well, they've been saying,

(24:39):
they've been saying most of the season that the baseballs
are juiced this year. Yeah, of course that's what they're
not gonna say. By the way, the players are juiced
this year. They're not gonna say that. Eddie, Well, they're
testing Ben, so everyone's clean. Of course, history in baseball
more home runs than ever. Ask a question, isn't the
guy that hits the last home run of the year

(25:00):
the record holder? You know what I mean? Like Alex
Gordon saying, well, that's the record, but the new record
will be the guy that hits the last home run
the last day of the season, so it's like a
temporary record. Did the Royals like have a day for
Alex Gordon because he hit this home run? I doubt
Did they give away a special Alex Gordon I hit
five thousand whatever home run? Baseball will give him a

(25:22):
T shirt or something nice T shirt, maybe a watch, Yeah,
a plaque. Ben Maller Show, We Are a comedy from

(27:55):
a camel. We don't goof around that's what the other
shows do. We are bore ring Radio. That's what we strive.
We want to be like every other terrible show that
no one listens to in sports radio. That's what feels
so good right now. And I think we're doing it.
I think we are absolutely doing it. I used to
play with guys when I was a kid. So that
Tom Brady book on Amazon? Is they charging like twenty

(28:17):
bucks for the hardcover version? It's listed at twenty nine
ninety nine. Been good it for like twenty bucks or
nineteen twenty seven? How many? I don't know the answers,
Like how many does one have to sell to have
the number one book on Amazon? I would think it's
a great amount, right, I would think that it's a
ridiculous amount of books. They don't have the total of

(28:38):
They don't release that information, at least not on the website.
I'm on here of how many books they've sold. But
you gotta think so many people buying a lot of
their crap on Amazon these days, Like it's got to
be an insane amount of books that they've sold. All right,
spend out of the show on Fox to the phones
we go and Wheezy Jay is on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah,

(28:59):
remember him, he's back as well. So old timer's week.
Hello Wheezy Jay, Hello Ben. Yeah, I wanted to comment
on the atrocity going on with the New York Football Giants. Um,
I think the blame being shifted on Eli Manning is

(29:22):
injust I think eighty five to ninety percent of it
has to be put on the clown of the head
coach Ben McAdoo. He made Jim Bob Cooter last night
look like Jesus Christ, formerly the man who climbed into
a window while she was sleeping and slid into the bed.

(29:42):
Jim Bob Cooter, the Lion's current offensive coordinator. Uh, you know,
fourth and ten, throwing the ball six yards on a
curl route, you know, the delay, a game penalty, just everything.
Just doesn't know what he's doing. And I think it's
time for I think it's time for a change. Yeah,
you're calling for the firing of Ben McAdoo. Now, I
believe mcadoo's on the hot seat. He's not gonna be

(30:04):
fired right now, though, you know I wouldn't make the
move right away. What layers he here's the problem, you like,
Ben mcadoo's done a poor job. You know, he's also
done a poor job. Players have done a poor job.
Oh yeah, Beck Flowers looked like Humpy Dumpy the whole
game last night. Yeah, that's a fact, all right. So
you fired Ben McAdoo. So if you fired Ben McAdoo,

(30:25):
who are you gonna then hired to replace Ben mckint
This ought to be good. I was actually thinking about
the man broadcasting the Monday football game last night, mister Gruden.
I don't know if he'd be interested in the job,
but he'd be he'd be my prime candidate. Now you
calling me? Are you calling from a like a prison
or something? There's a beeping on the phone here. What's
going on? Are you in jail right now? What's going

(30:47):
on with you? I actually just recently escaped from prison.
Really want you want to run back there right now?
You know? Nice night's sleep. No, I'm feeling I'm feeling
the film the outdoors tonight. Yeah, okay, Well it's thank you.
You've changed a lot. Wheezy, Jason. You've grown up now,

(31:07):
You're all you're all growing up. I think you said
that last time then, but I appreciate it. I feel
like you're more growing up now. Yeah, That's usually what
happens with time, really, is it? It goes forward? Okay,
now you're starting to annoy me. I think I should
move on. Now you're annoying me. Can I hang up
on you? Now? I'm allowed to hang up on you now. Absolutely,
I'm gonna hang up here. I'm gonna take joy in

(31:29):
this too, because I'm gonna be Yeah. I always like
that when I get the dial tone, I hang up
on someone that makes me feel good. Complete the mission.
By the way, Big Ben the Internet says, in order
to hit number one on Amazon, you'd need to sell
somewhere between four thousand and five thousand copies of your
book in a twenty four hour period. Oh that's it. Yeah,
all right, Oh yeah, you'd expect it to go number

(31:51):
one because it's the first day of the book was
out right, it was Monday. So you think that every
diehard Patriot fan in the New England States lightning up
to buy the Tom Brady book. Nashville Danny is on
Fox Sports Radio. Hello Nashville, Danny, Hey Ben, Uh, I

(32:12):
first just wanted to think all the Mallar militia that
last night there was an outpouring of support and affirmation
that I won that debate last night. There was no
there was First of all, there was no debate. Second second,
you're lying. The Malar militia reached out to me a
lot of people and they said that I sort of
embarrassed you last night. Uh No, that's that's I mean,

(32:36):
that's that's nice to say and stuff. But you were,
you were exposed. You were exposed as he were. You
were you really were on the phone. Oh you did,
you're you called you took debate. You called weed Man
Hippie up on the phone. Is that right? And how
many times did he ask you to send him some money?

(32:58):
Only once? But I mean that's that didn't affect the overall. Yeah,
so you're telling you you're you're telling me that weed
Man Hippie said that you won a debate that we
didn't really have because you had no facts. I've already
presented the facts to you about that and you continue
to ignore them, and I don't want to go go

(33:18):
down that road again. Yeah, I'm not ignoring anything. I've
asked you repeatedly here that it's all on the public record.
I don't I'm glad it is. I agree. Peyton Manning
sent a bunch of goons over to Charlie Sly's house,
shook him down, and then all of a sudden, all
of a sudden, Peyton Manning, you know, gets this rebuttal
as I deny everything from Charlie Sly, which is shocking.

(33:39):
I mean, I can't imagine why he would have done that. Well, Ben,
you say that there are people with coats on outside
of that gap, that's succording. Yeah, you call nine one
one if you see people wearing coats like Yeah, if
strange people show up at your door and you're scared
for your safety and you believe they're going to harm

(34:02):
you in some way, you call nine one one. That's
what That's what my parents taught me to do. Maybe
your parents are different, they didn't teach you to do that.
I don't know. I mean, I think we also have
to consider that if Charlie Sly was the sleas ball
that everybody says he is, maybe, I mean, that's probably
the right thing to do to send goons ll you know,
put him back in line. So you support that, or

(34:23):
so you're now you've changed your story and you're now
admitting that it did happen. Well, you said maybe it's
the right thing to do to send you said that.
You just you just said that. You just said that.
You word for I repeat that, word for word for word.
He just said that. So listen, here's the I know.
We'll continue to talk about this tho stories like what

(34:45):
at least a year or two old now, and we
can continue to have these conversations. I have no problem
bringing up Charlie Sly and Peyton Manning. I think it's
great because I'm on the right side of the story.
You're on the wrong side, which is fine. Has he gone?
I guess he's. I don't hear. I don't know where
you went. No more Nashville. All right, let's go, weed man,

(35:08):
let's get let's clear this up. Weed man, hippie, I
got this guy Nashville, Danny. He says he talked to
you on the phone. You claim that he beat me
in a debate. Is this correct? Weed man, hippie, this
guy's out of his mind. You never love you well,
thank you never talked to him. You never had who
this guy is? What are you talking about? I'm I

(35:29):
just woke up. I just put you on then, and
the first thing I hear is some guy saying he's
on the phone with me. I'm my dreaming. This is
a game changer. This is a game changer. All right. Now,
I didn't wake you up. I had nothing to do
with this. So I want you on the record. Hand

(35:50):
to God, Hand to God, right now? All right, all right,
hold on, all right, thank you, hold on. That's a
that's a plot twist. First, Danny tries to say that
our first Nashville Danny tries to say that Danny g
is you know, anti Mallard militia on another programs, right,
that was that was fake news. Now he's saying that

(36:12):
he's talking to weed Man Hippy on the phone. More
fake news. This guy he's a huckster. The guy's a huckster,
is what he is. He might as well be playing
three card Monty somewhere. That's what the guy should be doing.
What a schmuck? What? And he's a coward? He hung up?
What a coward? Coward, lying schmuck and just got exposed

(36:32):
by weed Man Hippy. Wow. I thought he was gonna
be a good caller too. I thought I thought Nashville
Danny would be all right. Now he's been exposed. Can
we add him to the list. He's right there with
Kevin Durant and RG three. This has been the week
of people being exposed as frauds. Wow, all right, So
the Ben Maller Show. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

(36:55):
Time now for the who Am I? Game? And you
can hear this right now, And if you don't want
to stay up, you can hear on the podcast, which
is available on iTunes and everywhere else you can download podcast.
It's Ben Mallers Show, which is a rebroadcast of the
radio show with some other bells and whistles. Here's the
who am I Game? Who? I'm a starting quarterback in
the NFL. Last season, forty percent of my throws traveled

(37:20):
less than five air yards. This season, over fifty five
percent of my tosses have been less than five yards.
I've been dinking and dunking the football. Who am I?
The Ben Maller Show has been called a show about nothing? However,
Twitter is definitely something. Joined the charm circle and followed

(37:42):
Ben on Twitter. He's at Ben Maller and you can
follow me. Eddie Garcia, I'm at Eddie on Fox. Don't
threaten me at all. From the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Maller and here's the who am I game?
I'm a starting quarterback who in the NFL. Last season,
forty point eight percent of my throws traveled less than

(38:04):
five air yards. This season, a couple weeks in, over
fifty five percent of my throws have been less than
five air yards, which is not generally good. That's the
dinkin dunk offense. Who am I? That's the question. What's
the answer? Palm Desert Rats going with Sunny six Killer
as his answer, Sid Luckman from Ernie Doobies and Boobies

(38:26):
with Joe Flacco. Cody Kessler guest by Rick Mike from
the LBC's going with Matthew Stafford clearly not cheating. Bernie
Cozar guests by Billy Dutch Schultz guests by Eric, A
lot of Jared Goff guest is, including the Happy Bongtoker
Andy Dalton thrown out by Rick so you can't read

(38:47):
that one on there, Bob Greasy from Captain Cliche, Old
Noodle Arm Peyton Manning guests by Henley case Keenum from Rick,
all right, what say you, Eddie? I'm going with the
throw Samoa and Jack Thompson great name, No the correct answer.
Hail to the Redskins, Kirk Cousins. What happened to that

(39:12):
vertical passing? Here? They got rid of all their receivers,
DeShawn Jackson not around. It is not going so well.
But last year forty point eight percent of Cousins throws
traveled less than five yards. So far this year it's
fifty six point seven percent. So the Redskins have changed
it up, not for the better on offense. Let's get
to it here we go. Time now for the MLP. Peckham,

(39:36):
you gotta fly here, Coop, Who's gonna go first? That
would be Eddie? All right, Eddie got the first pick.
Mookie Bets. Mookie Bets is off the board. Danny get Gardner,
Gardner GUARDI goes Yardie, Coop, Charlie Blackman, Charlie Blackman. I'll
go with Josh Donaldson and Eddie Rozario Coop Manny Machado

(39:57):
Macado's gone, Danny ge rhese Hoskins really against the Dodger. Eddie,
you suck, Eddie. I'll go Matt Olsen and Albert Elmore Junior.
Sir Danny, I'm gonna pick a Dodger to Cody Bellinger,
all right, who you got, Coop? Justin Upton. He always
panics at the end. I'll go Cody Bellinger, I'll get

(40:18):
that in. All right. Nick Castellana, so the Tigers or
whatever his name is. I'm so sorry. I am so
so sorry. Well, the walk of shame from Kevin Durant.
The day after some skeletons came out of the closet,
some Internet social media skeletons. Welcome in the beginning of

(40:41):
another hour. It's the Ben Mallers Show. We are in
the air everywhere the vast Fox Sports Radio network, emanating
live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. Fifteen minutes
could save you fifteen percent or more on your car insurance.
Just visit gego dot com for a free rate quote.

(41:03):
We navigate our away through another hour here together on
the radio, and I this Kevin Durant thing I was debating.
I was like tossing up last start. We had a
great discussion about the douche that is RG three, and
now we get to dissect Kevin Duranty the day after
the you know what hit the fan? I'm so sorry. Yeah,
that's a little taste of what Kevin Durant took part in.

(41:26):
Now Durant spoke at a tech get together in the
Bay Area and says that what he did on social
media was quote childish and quote idiotic. The fact that
he torpedoed his former Oklahoma City coach and teammates on Twitter.

(41:49):
Now you remember the story, right, You talked a lot
about it. Everyone seems to have talked about it. Durant,
we assume figured he was on a different Twitter account,
didn't switch sloppy, oops a daisy and there there it goes.
So Durant spoke for a good amount of time. I
think he was up on the stage for about eight
to ten minutes, and he attempted some serious, serious spin.

(42:15):
Let's see if you're you're buying with Durant selling about
the mistake that he made on Twitter. I lose Twitter
to engage with the fans. I think it's a great
way to engage with basketball fans. But I happened to
take it a little too far. And that's what happened.
Sometimes when I get into these basketball debates, and I
don't regret clapping back at anybody or talking to my

(42:37):
fans on Twitter. Okay, some great ambient noise there in
the background from Durants microphone was a large high ceilings,
big crap, high ceilings, big crowd. That's what happens. Here's
more from Kevin Durant, who has regrets. We all have regrets, right,
I got regrets. You got any regrets. Here's Durant's regrets.
I do regret. I'm using my former coach's name and
the former organization that I played for. That was childish,

(42:59):
that was idiot, like all those type of words. I've
regret doing that, and I apologize to him for doing that.
But I don't think I'll ever stop engaging with my fans.
I think they really enjoyed. I think it's a good
way to connect us all, especially when you have different accounts.
That's really when people like, like when you engage with
Kevin Durant and you don't know, is it really Kevin
Durant or is it a guy that just happens to

(43:19):
have seven followers that's pretending to be Kevin Durant. You
have no idea. It's the mystery. It's like a box
of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get when
you go on Twitter. It could be Kevin Durant. You
could be fighting about Kevin Durant with Kevin Durant. So
there's a whole lot more than this. Now, he was
asked straight up if he intended to post the anti Durant,

(43:40):
anti Oklahoma City tweets, the Billy Donovan tweets from some
kind of fake anonymous account. And this is where it
gets interesting because a Durant claims that this is not true.
This allegation that he's using different social media accounts is
not true. Then later he admitted Durant that he did

(44:01):
have another Instagram account, but he said that's only for
my friends and family, so I don't use that to
clap back at anybody. That's what Durant had to say,
all right, So we played a little bit of it.
There's a lot more than that. But here's the question.
Do you believe Kevin Durant is truly remorseful and doesn't

(44:23):
even have to be remorseful? Is this something you have
to be remorseful about? I would say this is not
something you have to be remorseful about. But do I
believe that Durant is being sincere here? No? I don't.
I don't believe it for a second. And maybe you're
doing you're a better person than me. I don't. This
is guiltiest charged manufactured and Rhino's skin. Right, We'll start

(44:49):
with a I have seen the internet sluice that have
done the work, They've done the investigation. Now I realize
this is all anecdotal evidence, but it all points to
Kevin dur being, as we have said this week, a
weasel on social media. This is guilty as charged. Durant's
fingerprints are all over this. He's not denying. He's not

(45:12):
denying this. He's just he's not going all the way
right because you only caught him. It was self admission,
Duran's self admission, so he's not going further. It's like
when the police catch a criminal who robbed a bank
and the guy's like, yeah, I robbed the bank, but
he's been robbing banks for like ten years, you know,
but he's just only I just got me on that one.
I admit to it. I did it. You know, I'm done.

(45:33):
You got me. Here's the way I look at this.
Durant had a team of spin doctors from his different
corporate partners that I would imagine worked all night on
what on damage control, and it must have given him
nausea to have to go to this paid appearance with

(45:55):
these tech people and to speak about this. I wonder
how much he got, right, I wonder how much that appearance?
What does Durant get if he goes out and speaks
at a tech junket, like, what does he gets? What's
his check? Did he get ten thousand dollars? Twenty thousand dollars?
How much does he get? And this actually worked out

(46:17):
to be a net positive because it was why it
was a controlled environment. You had a manufactured public apology.
They did the math. In eight minutes. Kevin Durant used
the word apologize eight times. Once per minute he said
the word apologize. He also used words like idiot, stupid,
feel bad, use that a bunch as well. So here's

(46:42):
my advice with these situations. Don't be goaliable right, this
comes right out of a crisis management handbook. Durant the
remorse is that he was sloppy and he did not
switch accounts. Now it's pretty clear that's what happened. He
made a mistake. The advice, I guess, is for Durant

(47:03):
to get a second or third phone. He probably has
a couple of phones. I would think, but make sure
you have the Burner account on one phone and you
have your regular Twitter on the other. It's not exactly
brain surgery here that we're talking about Part B of
this though, Kevin Durant, this is not gonna die. I mean,
he's apologized, Fine, that's great, but it's gonna gonna hang around.

(47:25):
He's gonna take a lot of crap from not just
people on social media. That happens anyway, but this is
gonna follow him around. It's gonna stick to him like
a nice, big hearty meal sticks to your gut, and
it's gonna hang around for a while, right because because
Durant he's gonna be the butt of jokes. He does
not strike me. I don't I don't know Durant, but
he doesn't strike me as that kind of guy that

(47:46):
has self deprecating humor. He doesn't seem like he wants
to be the butt of the joke. He's lacking the sarcasm, Jean,
He's missing that. And so if that's true, if I'm
reading Durant right with some nickel and dime psychology, that
Durant does not like being the butt of the joke,
doesn't get sarcasm. This's gonna haunt him. It's gonna haunt

(48:07):
him for a while, right, because not only do you
have social media reminding him, but you know the NBA
players are going to be busting his balls and they
should and they'll give him ulcers. Right, So the advice
is to grow some rhino skin. Now I'm trying to
figure out the answer, and I don't have the answer here.
So let's get estimate what percentage of NBA players have

(48:32):
a ghost account or a dummy or a burner account
on social media? Because I think it's pretty high. I'm
gonna of the top players in the Let's just use
the NBA because Durant is an NBA player, so we
just will stick to that. What percentage of like the
top thirty players in the NBA have a dummy social

(48:57):
media account? I think it's I'm gonna go eighty percent.
My number is eighty percent. Is that too low? Is
that too high? I feel good with eighty percent. That
doesn't mean that they're all going on there and defending
their honor against people that are saying mean and nasty
things about them on social media. But have an account,

(49:18):
maybe you want to follow someone that you can't follow
on your main account. You know, there's different reasons for
these kendadas, So I would think it's also liberating to
get back at someone as long as they don't know
that it's you, Like, if you're durant, it must have
felt pretty good. How long do you think the rant's
been doing this kind of stuff with the dummy account.

(49:39):
I'm guessing that's not his first rodeo. I think he's
been through this before. I think that's a fair statement.
That is a fair statement. All right. It is the
Ben Mallard Show, The Ben Maller Show, as we emanate
live here on Fox Sports Radio, and Edmund Dallas Steamboat.
Willie Garcia is right over there. Hey, yeah, maybe I'm

(50:04):
I don't know this durant thing. I don't want to
say it blows my mind. That's a little much. But
I'm just I don't get how guys can be at
this level, or or anyone can be at this level
of being in the public eye and be this thin skinned.
I mean at some point, I mean, he's not a rookie,
he's not a young kid. How do you get to

(50:26):
this point where you care this much about what strangers
think about you. I mean, I get that we all
want to be liked to a certain extent, but I mean,
when you're somebody like him or no matter what you do,
people are there's gonna be people out there who criticize
you or don't like you, who cares you're you're a
superstarilli there just I don't get it. These guys. A

(50:47):
lot of these guys grow up in a shoebox. They've
been pampered and coddled ever since they showed an ability
to be great in sports. And so when did Durant
become a legendary hoopster? How old do you think? He was? Eight, nine,
ten years old something like that and ever since then,
you know the AAUTH circuit. He spent one year at
Texas And that's what you get, you get, I mean,

(51:10):
I understand what you're saying. You know, you know how
you end up. But at this point, like I said,
he's not a young guy. He's not He's been around
the block. Yeah, I love I love the fact that
I want to hug him. I'm so happy that he
did this. He's such a drama queen. It's wonderful. Yeah,
it's just tremendous. Maybe I should not be shocked by this,

(51:30):
but I just shake my head. Don't you think Lebron
James likely does the same thing? Would you? Would it
shock you if we found out Lebron James has like
seven different aliases on Twitter and when people are bashing,
he just he just goes on these different accounts. I
wouldn't be shocked by that, would you be? I wouldn't
be shocked, I guess not. But I'm just like, get

(51:50):
a life, man. It's probably pretty entertaining. Though these guys
are bored, I would think a lot they dont they
must be. Yeah, you think you're playing the NBA and
you don't play every day of the week. You know,
the practice is like thirty forty minutes. You work out
for a little bit, but there's a lot of downtime.
You're at hotels, you're on planes. I would think if

(52:10):
I'm flying from like Boston to LA and I'm trying
to kill some time, if I was an NBA player,
I would just get on one of these dummy accounts
and just, you know, go to war with social media.
How much fun would that? You kill it? You'd kill
a five and alt. I could see that being fun,
like initially, but then after one I'll be like, I
don't have time for this crap is this is a waste?
What they gonna do? He's stuck in a plane. I

(52:32):
don't know. All right, So the Ben Maller Show, you're
listening to Fox Sports for it. I was very happy
Eddie's some tough love. My message resonates. I called out
Pedro Bayez and the Dodgers have responded. It's he's a
picture for the Dodgers. He sucks garbage, and he's ruining
my enjoyment of professional baseball. This bum terrible at his job.

(52:53):
And it sounds like Dave Roberts pretty much admitted that
Pedro Bayez is not going to be on the off roster.
The Dodgers an hour back is the favorite to win
the World Series. This gas can, he sucks, he ran,
He's terrible. Pedro biyas day. Roberts said, you're trying to
win a baseball game. You're trying to figure out how

(53:14):
to how you can win eleven games in October? Will
you do that? And he hinted Roberts he spoke in
kind of vague terms, but it sounds like Pedro Bayaz
is not going to be on the Dodger playoff roster.
He has been mister meltdown. That is what he has done.
He is terrible. He is terrible. Not only is it
pitcher garbage garbage. You want, I'll try, you want him

(53:39):
as barbage. Scouts love this guy. They get all aroused
when they watch him pitch because he throws hard and wow,
wonderful they do. He get very excited when they watched
bayas pitch. I know, Eddie guesses Era this month, this month, Yes,
this month. If you get it right, Eddie, you'll you'll
win a golden ticket. No, you won't pay so but
didn't get it right, you lose. Sorry, not bad though,

(54:02):
you don't get a golden ticket. Well, what is it?
It's a bad job. Twelve point five us. I'm so workable.
That's what you want from an eighth inning reliever in
the postseason. You look for that build up a lead
and then you vomit all over the mound. That's what
you want. That's why you go to the bullp I
was pacing, I was screening at my TV when he

(54:25):
gave up the lead ben and basses loaded and Roberts
left him in. I just want to pull my hair out.
It was horrible. It's not very pleasant to watch. And
the guy like that make the Phillies suck, and he
makes the Phillies look like the Ryan Howard Phillies with
Jimmy Rollins when he's on the mound, when biases in

(54:48):
the mount, the other team looks amazing. It's even worse though,
you go back to the beginning of August. Since the
start of August, pedro Bias has an ERA of eight
point four, that's two two months of profession baseball and
earn run average of eight. If he's on the playoff roster,
the Dodgers deserve to lose every game in the postseason.
I hope they get swept. If pedro Bias is on

(55:08):
the playoff roster, they should lose every game. They don't
deserve to win anything. If pedro Bias is on the
playoff roster, he's that bad eddie. He sucks. Get him
off the team. Sound very upset about that. There, sick
and tired having to watch these games. And then they
got the lead, and then they this jackass comes in
and pee's down his leg. It sucks, but made my

(55:33):
feelings felt, yes, all right, sorry about that. I feel better, though,
if you want to be parted, I haven't getting out

(55:54):

Operators are standing by. We'll talk some peanuts. Why not.
We'll get to that. What the hell's that about? We'll

It's Ben Maller. We'll talk some peanuts in a moment.
Right now, though, we say hello to Joe in Ken's City,
who's on Fox Sports Radio. Hello Joey, Ben, Hell's it going, Joe?
If I was any better, I'd be a royal, but

(56:36):
not a Kansas City royal because they don't have to
worry about playoff baseball. Man, you got me with that
one last night. So here, what else am I gonna do?
The chiefs of two and all. I got nothing else?
What do you want me to do? Kansas football? No,
this is Kansas City, Missouri. Anyway, I understand that. What
do you want me? I mean, where else am I
gonna go with this? So here's the deal. The biggest

(56:57):
tush bag in the sports hands down, is definitely a
rod without a shadow down. No, No, he's not playing anymore?
Is he can say is the biggest douche broadcaster. But
he's not playing anymore. Fine, I'll give you that RG
three is trying to play. He's trying to play. Okay,
I give what you're saying. And then the other thing
is that thing about Alex Gordon with his home run

(57:18):
that set the record or whatever. Congratulation to Alex. You're
drawing how many millions of dollars a year for seven
home runs and a batting average of like two o eight? Please,
you're using a roster spot for one of the young
talented people that we could possibly keep. Do us a
favor cutbait? Would you like him to retire? Do you
think that's going to happen? Do you believe that Alex

(57:40):
Gordon is going to walk away from a contract that
will pay him twenty million dollars a year for the
next three years. Do you just agree that he's using
up a roster spot and taking up way too much money.
He's production sucks, but he ain't gonna walk away from that.
You're stuck paying him the money he's gonna make. What's
he got forty sixty million dollars or something like that

(58:01):
coming to next I think it's forty the next two,
and then there's an option it looks like sixty two
million dollars, And I'm just like, what the hecker we thinking, Well,
you were feeling good. You were feeling no pain. The
Royals were on top of the baseball world right, the
World Series and going back to back and all that,
trying to win the championship. You're feeling great. Alex Gordon
Owes has some sort of hometown discount. No, no, no,

(58:25):
you're not going to give a hometown discount, neither of them.
I no such thing as a hometown discount. All right,
I gotta go, Thank you, Joe, Joe. A vote for
a rod. Angry Bill is next on Fox Sports Radio. Hello,
Angry Bill, what about a nine year old girl? How
you doing? Ben? I want to put one thing to

(58:45):
bet on this, this Giant New York Giant problem. Take
Carrot Top, send them off somewhere, Let him go to
whatever he wants to go. Don't pay him a dime.
If they say this guy one hundred and eighty million dollars,
I will stop a Giant fan. This guy is a
cancer to the team is Get him out of there
and he can join Ezekiel Ellis and sit on a

(59:07):
bench and pout. Good players rise of both bad games
as we want. So you are you don't like Odell
Beckham because of his hair. No, No, because his hair.
You know It's not because it was hair, Ben, It's
because if he doesn't do well right away in the
first fifteen minutes of the game, he starts pouting and
throwing things. Do you believe? Now? Agree, Bill? You believe

(59:28):
the Giants are better off without their best player. Completely.
I'd rather have him go Owen sixteen and had that
Carrot Top on the team. Yeah, we completely reason. Well,
I think the Giants feel the same way. The Probably
they're going to trade him right now. Hey, if you
want to trade him with the Rams, I'll give you
a seventh round pick. Right now. I'd like to send
him to the rams and so you can ram. Okay, now,

(59:51):
now what good has he done? Every day? They had
the playoffs last year? He goes for his boat job. Okay,
then he's out dancing with the gay Blade, your buddy,
Blake Griffin. Okay, the guy's juiceless. Okay, every useless because
he danced with Blake Griffin at a nightclub. That makes sense. Well, okay,
he's sound pretty sounding, pretty smart. You know you sound good?

(01:00:12):
I made you. I made forty five dollars yesterday cutting
logs and branches and the tornado mets and all that stuff.
And I ran out and I bought Rady's book for
forty bucks. Okay, I sat down. I didn't even bother
opening it, and I made a pack with God to
eat everything precisely how he eats it, when he eats it,

(01:00:33):
and where he eats it. And Tom, I'll do anything
you want to be able to eat what you eat. Yeah, okay,
you have a great night, Glan. Rusty is somewhere in
Tennessee and he's next on Fox Sports Radio. Hello, Rusty,
what's up band? How are you doing? If I was

(01:00:55):
any better, I'd be a volunteer, but not a Tennessee
volunteer because oh come, oh, don't give me that all right?
Oh man, Rusty's having a good time. There will that
be on the podcast? Also? Is that another reason people
should tune in? You listening should tune in there and
some of it will be on the podcast. I think

(01:01:16):
you should put the whole thing in there. I'm optimistic
that the whole thing will pop up. Don't be a
Pollyanna Dany. Just let the people want to hear the word.
Put the word on it. What was it a cross
between a bulldog and a shit suit? Yeah, something like that. Yeah, exactly.
Rusty's at there's drinking the moonshine. He's out there having
a good time. And that's what happens. See the Ben

Phillies six two. LA's magic number, though to win the
NLST is down to two because the Diamondbacks lost to

(01:03:03):
We're all very excited about that. This will stay up
all night. I'm gonna pull an all night or on
the West Coast to watch that game. But the Ravens
official Twitter account was so excited they photoshop their team's logo,
including a red eye onto the face of Queen Elizabeth.
The second that they tweeted that out and then deleted it, well,

(01:03:23):
apparently it's not good for him. The British Royal family
is not to be shown or mentioned in a marketing
communication without prior stop. We know she's a big Ravens.
So the Ravens have offended the Queen of England. Yeah,
great job, Ravens's a joke. Oh did you see the

where company live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios,
where fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more
on your car insurance. Just visit Geico dot com for

(01:04:30):
player by the name of Charles Tillman was not bad,
not bad as a defensive player. Yeah, Peanut Tilman, Charles
Peanut Tilman, Eddie with the Chicago Yeah, we're not a
bad player. And he's now out of the NFL. He
made a couple of Pro Bowls. Everyone loved him because
he had the nickname Peanut. And you know, it stands

(01:04:50):
out when you got a nickname if you're just named
Charles Tillman, like a hundred guys named Charles Tilman. But
if you're nicknamed peanut. Now that's special. That's a special thing.
So why do I bring up Charles Tillman, a former
NFL player, Because we have learned here that Charles Tillman,
in his post football life, he is going forward. He's

(01:05:10):
trying to chase down a dream and he wants to
chase down bad guys. Charles Tillman is in the process
or process of becoming an FBI agent. About that. He
retired from the NFL last year. He has been training,
we are told to join the FBI. Well, if Johnny

(01:05:32):
Utah can join the FBI, why not Charles Tillman. Problem though, Eddie,
here's the problem, all right, Tillman is going to turn
thirty seven years old on February twenty third. Now why
does that matter? A limit? That is correct. The NFL
has a cut off age for special agent candidates at

(01:05:52):
thirty seven, So what does that mean? That means that
Tillman has to He's pretty much got one shot at this.
From what I've told he's got to pass the training
for the FBI because then he won't be able to
do it again because he'll be too old. So he's
got it. From what I understand, he's gotta do it
right away. He got a bachelor's degree in criminal justice

(01:06:14):
from Louisiana Lafayette and he's going for Look good for him. Now.
I have friends in law enforcement, and they tell me
that you can make more in local police work than
you can at the FBI, that the FBI doesn't pay
that well, you can make more as like a local
police officerbody, If that's so what he wants to do,
Good luck to Charles Peanut Tillman trying to fight crime.

(01:06:39):
You imagine if you're like getting popped there and you're
a purp and you get you're the first arrest of
Charles Tilman, you can you can be the answer to
a trivia question. I'm the first guy that Charles Tillman handcuffed.
So right there, all right, you'll see the Ben Maller
Show on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, weed Man, are you

(01:06:59):
can scerned about Peanut Tillman possibly coming to your house?
Is that troubling to you? No? No, there's this lying
back up that was released from the Dolphins because he
went crazy. Yeah I saw that. Yeahs I don't know, suspended,
but yeah, suspended. What happened to him? All right? Well,

(01:07:22):
thanks for listening. We've talked two days about I will
bring that up later, thank you. Well, clearly the Dolphins
did not believe the story that he told her, did
not think that was a excused absence. Shall we say, Well,
let's get to it right now, here we go, it's Mallard.
How about that to the third degree? This is one

(01:07:44):
big Ben gets grilled and we bring in the Coop
de loop for another Mallard of the thirties and would
have set up to be an unbelievably terrible game. The
Cleveland Browns face off against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. Now,
for the first time since twenty fifteen, the Browns are
actually favored to win a game. Ben, Are the Browns

(01:08:05):
actually the better team between these two turns? Well, here's
the way I look at this. In the eyes of
the public, that's all that matters. So yes, in the
eyes of the public, the Browns are thought of as
being in a better place than the Indianapolis Colts. That's
how messed up the Colts are after that Week one
performance against the Los Angeles Rams. A couple of things.
I'll tell you why. Ay, we often point out when

(01:08:27):
when the line is set. The Vegas sports book, the
sports book opera, the offshore book set the opening line,
but it's the gambling public that establishes the final line.
So you got to follow the money. We often talk
on benny versus the penny about how you have to
follow the money to find out where it's going, and
if you have too much on either side, that's going
to move the line. The goal is to get even money. Why,

(01:08:50):
because you make your money is the bookmaker on the
money in the middle, right, you want both sides. You're
guaranteed to make a profit, the whole thing. So the
fact that Cleveland is a slight favorite that's how it opened,
tells you that the belief is they can get even
money on both sides, and that the public thinks that

(01:09:10):
Cleveland is better. Actually they think Cleveland's five points better
than Indianapolis because generally home teams get three points. So
if Cleveland's a two or a two and a half
point favorite, that would mean that the opening line indicates
that the Browns on a neutral field should be five
points better than the Colts. I find that hard to believe.

(01:09:31):
The second part, both of these teams hot mess, right,
You really have to be a degenerate to go out
of your way to bet this game, like we'll pick
it on benny versus the penny this week because we
pick every game because that's how we do it. We
don't charge you for picks like other people do. We
just give them out. But this is a roll of

(01:09:51):
the dice situation. My gut at this point tells me
to take the Colts as a home underdog. Just don't
trust the Browns. Will look more at the game later
in the week. But from what I've heard, the early money,
the sharp money is actually on the Browns. That it's
close but over fifty five percent, which is not a

(01:10:13):
defining amount, but fifty five percent is actually coming in
on the Browns at minus two and a half. I
found that surprising. We'll see what the numbers indicate later.
All right, next, and we knew last season that Adam
Silver wanted to do something about the resting players epidemic
in the NBA. Well now it's being reported that the
league's proposal will give Adam Silver sole discretion in finding

(01:10:35):
teams for resting multiple players in a single game or
healthy ones in national TV games. Ben, do you think
that this is a good idea. Are we about to
see a good l two point zero. Yeah, here's the thing.
As long as Adam Silver is continuing as the commissioner,
if he's the one calling the shots, this is I mean,
very clear, this is not hazardous in any way to

(01:10:58):
players fashional basketball. I'll tell you why. Number one, Adam
Silver has been spineless. He's been toothless. He's a jellyfish
in terms of player discipline. The inmates are running the asylum.
It is highly doubtful then any real punishment is going
to come down the pipe. Adam Silver wants to be
liked by the stars, the headliners in the NBA, so

(01:11:21):
he'll play the doormat and let them continue to walk
all over him. And that's kind of the way he
likes it. And number two, it is under Adam Silver's
watch that this virus has spread around the NBA. David
Stern attempted to nip it in the buddy find the
hell out of the San Antonio Spurs when Greg Popovich

(01:11:42):
did this famously and send a bunch of guys back
from Miami back to San Antonio on Southwest Airlines. And
then David Stern got ripped apart for doing it, he left,
and Adam Silver has been an enabler for this disease
to go unchecked in the NBA. But I expect to happen.
There's gonna be some token punishment. Some second level star

(01:12:07):
will be used as an example to appease people like
me that don't like this and the TV partners that
also have a problem with this, but nothing more than that.
So there will be someone that is punished, but it's
going to be a slap on the wrist, if you
will here, all right, next now, Ben, we do know
that we heard the story that Tom Brady did not

(01:12:29):
make a visit to the White House, and a lot
of us speculated that it was because Gizelle does not
agree with you know, Trump's policies and whatnot. But now
we're hearing a little bit of a different story. Anthony Scaramuci,
you know the guy that was the White House presidentiary
for like the mooch twenty four hours something like that,
ten solid days of worked there. Yes, well he is

(01:12:50):
claiming that Tom Brady once dated Ivanka Trump. Oh yes,
perhaps that is the reason behind his non visit love situation.
What's the real story here, Ben? Yeah, I want to
believe this. I was not in the bedroom as far
as I know, but I would like to believe this

(01:13:11):
to be true, and it is plausible. And I realized
that Brady's people have circled the wagons and they're they're saying, oh, no,
there's nothing to this. Did you expect him to come
out and confirm, yes, I slept with Donald Trump's daughter
fifteen years ago. Of course they're not going to say that.
A couple of things here. Number one, Donald Trump was
a casual golf buddy with Tom Brady. This goes back

(01:13:33):
to the early days of Brady with the Patriots, his
swinging single days when he was quite the playboy. And
considering how much the Donald values celebrity quarterbacks, and by
the way, his daughter Ivanka, it is completely plausible to

(01:13:53):
think that Donald Trump set his daughter up on a
date fifteen years ago with Tom Brady. You gotta think
I think I believe that the age thing Brady would
have been like twenty five years old, Ivanka would have
been twenty. That makes some sense. And secondly, this guy,
the mooch, Donald Trump's right hand man for ten days now,

(01:14:15):
he is still a political operative of Trump. I understand
that how this works. And he's still kind of he's there.
He's in the tank for Trump, even though he only
lasted ten days. So so you have to factor that in.
But if Brady did, let's say, take a roll in
the hay with the first daughter, it is understandable if

(01:14:37):
Gizelle Boonshin is uncomfortable with that. Not that I believe
Tom Brady would be having any kind of sex in
the Oval office if you were to visit Donald's rum
or anything like that, but be quite the story. So yeah,
I want to believe. It sounds like a great story.
It's nice and juicy. I like it. I think it's
it's completely reasonable that that happened fifteen years ago. There

(01:15:01):
it is Mallard of the third degree. How Dade we
do you passed this edition? That's a winner. I wonder
who else is on Brady's list. He must have quite
the list. Now he doesn't get the reputation like Derek Jeter.
Jeter's a lot of that's public because it models and stuff.

(01:15:21):
You gotta think, though, Tom Brady, when the Patriots became
a big deal back in the beginning of the two
thousands and he was doing this, that he must have
had quite the quite the list of successes in the
dating world. There, So the Ben Maller Show. You're listening
to Fox Sports Radio. Time now for the instant trivia.

(01:15:41):
And here we go. It's time for the instant tribute.
Which receiver? Now, we told you yesterday the guy that
had the most long throws that went his way, but
he only caught one of them, Al Shan Jeffrey the Eagles.
We're gonna change it up. Here's the today's instant tribute.
The name of the receiver that has been the top
big play a threat through the first two weeks of

(01:16:03):
the NFL season. All right, so pick close attention here
in terms of yards gained on long pass plays. Which
receiver has been the top big play threat through the
first couple of weeks of the NFL regular season. That
is the insta trivia. Your answer is next. The Ben
Maller Show has been called a show about nothing. However,

(01:16:25):
Twitter is definitely something. Joined the charm circle and follow
Ben on Twitter. He is at Ben Maller and you
can follow our executive producer. He is the liar liar
in the Menace of the Fox Sports Radio network gets
the Coop de Loop Justin Cooper and he's at you,
h bronco fan, but I want to mount it and
outlive from the guy go Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's

(01:16:48):
Ben Maller and time out for the Insta trivia. Here
it is. We're looking for the name of the NFL
receiver that has been the biggest big play threat for
the first two weeks. Now. That means in terms of
yards gained on long passes, the receiver that has been
number one in that department. That is the question. What

(01:17:09):
is the answer? They're coming in on Twitter at Ben Maller,
that's at Ben Mallard. The rooster says it's got to
be Ray Boom Boom Mancini as the answer. Henry Ellard
guess by Rob the great Rams legend of nineteen eighties.
Who else do we have? Can't read that one on
the air, Not that one? Max McGee guess by the

(01:17:29):
go to bed guy. It's a good name. A Rich
is going with Jerry Seinfeld. This is his answer. J J.
Nelson thrown out by our p one Twitter, Robbie the
Mariner fan. Who else? Louis Lipps from Ron Billy, Joe
Dupree from DeShawn Jerry Porter guest by Matt Eddie, what

(01:17:50):
say you it's not Art Monk, which was guess by
Manuel in Guardine. I believe it's Harold Carmichael, the Great
Harold Carmichael. Is that right? Is it Harold Carmichael? No
correct answer. I gotta get this in before it's irrelevant,
because it likely will be irrelevant at the end of
this week. From the Minnesota Vikings Stefon Diggs number one

(01:18:13):
in that category eighty nine yards on passes traveling twenty
or more yards down field. Big tip of the cap
to the gumbo defense of New Orleans Saints in Week
one for helping to enhance shall we say enhance those numbers.
Jj Nelson of the Cardinals is naxt He's tied with

(01:18:34):
Brandon Cooks of the Patriots, and Tony Romo brought up
an interesting point during the Patriot Saints game. If Brandon
Cooks was so good, why would the Saints get ridden?
Why would Drew Brees not have a hissy fit with
Brandon Cooks being sent packing to the New England Patriots,

(01:18:55):
Which is it's not a wrong position to half, but
Drew Brees seems pretty mellow, pretty calm, doesn't seem that
any of this is bothering him too much, any of
it all, any bit at all. All Right, this guy
Rusty who called up early, he's got he's got a
potty mouth. He wants to get back on the here.
He's having a meltdown right now on social media. He says,
we're the only radio show that he likes, is the show,

(01:19:19):
and he really wants to get on the show. But
we let him on and he said a thing he
can't say, so I think we gotta give him a
time out till tomorrow at least. Right, That's that's what
I just told him on the phone. I said, you know,
called tomorrow, give it another shot. But yeah, yeah, today's
one and done. Yeah, Well, we all say that word,
he said in the hall. I have no problem with

(01:19:39):
the word. I wish we could say the word that.
They're Conian government rules that we have to follow do
not allow us to say the word. I think it's
ridiculous we say whatever we want on the radio. It's insanity,
the stupidest thing I've ever heard. But I have to
follow these rules. You got rules at your job. He's
the dumb rules that I have in my job. All right,
let's get to it. Here we go, let's do it.

(01:20:00):
It's Ben Mahler and he's going, Oh, I'm gonna go
all in. All right, let's do this here. How do
we do yesterday? Coop du Loup Bennon, we were split
fifty fifty, you and you and Danny one, but Eddie
and I lost. You guys are bringing us down. It's
a bad job by you. Win in doubt. Throw the

(01:20:21):
wood out as in Alex Wood. This is a bounce
back baby for the Dodgers who they went in Philly
Dodgers is the pick? Eddie? Major League Soccer Huge game,
Montreal Impact against Toronto FC. I'll take Toronto minus a
goal and a half. Danny Hurry, Dbecks of San Diego
over and her seven and a half's Robbie ray Dam

(01:20:41):
I'm taking the under. Coop National is over under set
at nine. I'm gonna take the under. Enough is enough?
An NFL team throwing down the hammer after one of
their key players says, I don't know where I want
to be. I don't want to be here. I'm gonna
just go away somewhere. I'm not going to report to
the Miami Dolphins welcome in the beginning of another hour.

(01:21:04):
It's the Ben Maller Show. We are in the air
visit Geico dot com for a free rate quote. We

(01:21:27):
live in a time where we're supposed to be softer,
gentler with these kind of stories. So this is a rarity.
It's an old school move, old school move by the
Miami Dolphins. We've got a plot twist in the bizarre
tale of the a wall NFL player. And here's the latest.
Lawrence Timmins, former Steeler longtime Pittsburgh Steeler linebacker who was

(01:21:52):
a key free agent pickup by the Dolphins. He went
missing over the weekend and now he has been suspended
indefinitely by the Dolphins after he disappeared hours before their
game in Los Angeles against the Charges. It should be
mentioned that Timmins had been with the team in LA

(01:22:15):
for a while, the team leaving to the West coast
because of the hurricane, and so they were in the
southern California area for a while and then right before
the game Saturday. The day before the game, Saturday afternoon,
he went missing. The team was panicked. They called a
bunch of friends. Family could not track down Lawrence Timmins,
and so they filed a missings person's missing person's report

(01:22:38):
with the LAPD, and that actually ended up popping up
on the internet. The details of that, some of that
information out there, and so finally they couldn't find him
Saturday night. They found him early Sunday at Los Angeles
International Airport trying to catch a flight to Pennsylvania. The

(01:22:59):
story that we're being told is that he was trying
to see his child with his baby mama. And so
the suspension, the indefinite suspension, which sounds really strong of Timmins,
can only last a few weeks. But that's not gonna
last more. I think it's five weeks and then that's it.
Four or five weeks, and then that's that's all she

(01:23:21):
wrote for the suspension of the Dolphin linebacker. So let's
talk about this now. We've also heard that Adam Gase,
the Dolphins head coach, is furious. According to those that
claim to know more than us, he's enraged with Timmins
for abandoning the franchise without any kind of notice on Saturday.

(01:23:45):
And here's the key part of this. Here's the key part.
They don't like the explanation. They're not satisfied the Dolphins
with the explanation that has been given for this a
wall move by Lawrence Timmins. Now, some have characterized this
as an aggressive move by the Dolphins, that instead of

(01:24:08):
suspending him, they should have gone out and gotten him
therapy and some pills. And he clearly has some kind
of mental issues to leave a job like that, and
there's a lot of that pushback that the Dolphins are
being insensitive here to an employee that's got some issues,
some issues, and this has also been called an overreaction

(01:24:30):
by some. So here's the question. Do you feel that
the dolphins suspension of Lawrence Timmins is accurate? Did they
get it right? Well, the information that we have here, yes,
this is a necessary move by the Dolphins. I'm stunned
that they did it, considering the times we live in

(01:24:53):
and I would have thought that Dolphins would have just
gotten them a really good shrink and given him some
pills and then they that's what everyone else does, right,
just get a bunch of pills and you can see
a shrink and you're good. But this there's gotta be
some more too. We keep I keep going back to
this like we only know a little bit. There's a
whole gap in hours where Timmins was missing, between the

(01:25:17):
time that dolphins couldn't find him and the time that
he turned up at the airport in La So I
want to know what was going on there, what was
leading him down that path to get to that point. Now,
a couple of observations here justified. That's the first thing.
Bubble of trust and chicken feed. Those are the three

(01:25:38):
things here. First of all, the Dolphin organizationon as they
like to say in Canada, they did their investigation, they
met with Timmins. From what we're being told here, they
tried to put all the puzzle pieces together and they
came to this decision. I'm going to assume. I'm going
to assume that you have a job. Maybe you don't,

(01:25:59):
but i'm gonna sum that you do. If you don't
show up to your job, what is going to happen? Right?
Generally speaking, I'm gonna speak for your employer. If you
go a wall from your job, you're going to be punished.
Is that a fair statement to me? Most employers aren't
going to say, well, let's get you some therapy, will

(01:26:20):
help you out here, You're gonna be punished. Your fellow
workers depend on you, right for your job. You have
a job, whatever your job is. You might not think
your job is that important, but trust me, if you
don't show up for a couple of days or even
a day, you'll find out how important that job is.
And so clearly Timmins did not have a good enough

(01:26:41):
alibi for his actions. The Dolphins were not buying what
he was selling. So therefore this punishment is absolutely justify
what they did here the Dolphins. And the second thing,
there was so much optimism about the Dolphins being a
better team, and one of the reasons was because of

(01:27:04):
Lawrence Timmins. Now this is before their quarterback got hurt.
Even though I was I was not, I saw me
on the record. I was not in the camp that
thought that Dolphins were gonna be all that much better.
But those that did. One of the reasons was because
of players like Lawrence Timmins when he arrived in Miami,
and you had expectations that the Dolphin defense would be
better in part because of him, and one of the

(01:27:24):
reasons that some had the Dolphins as a legitimate wildcard
team again in the NFC. Remember they were in the
playoffs last year and got trucked by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
So all it took one game, one game, and all
of that is out the window. Timmins has violated the
bubble of trust with the Dolphins. They cannot have this

(01:27:49):
guy around. How do you get that back. That's one
of those things. When it's gone, it's gone right, damage
is done. And he's not some fresh out of college newbie.
The guy's a thirty one year old grown ass man
and I don't know what's going on in his life.
Maybe it'll come out, maybe they'll have a great story
and we'll all regret this. But from the information that

(01:28:10):
we know right now, it's hard to come up with
a justification. And for these people that are running around saying, well,
they should have gotten them some help, and that's that's
that's for the family, that's for the family to help
out that that's not necessarily the employer's responsibility. You can't
blame youth on this one. You have an unexcused absence.

(01:28:33):
Now The final thing here the Dolphins are what they're
doing is they're positioning themselves for a divorce. That's the
obvious movie. They can only suspend Timmins for four games,
I guess is the number four games, and then it's
time for a moment of truth and in the bureaucracy
of football, this suspension. What this accomplishes is it allows

(01:28:55):
you to get some money back, as much money back
as possible. How much is this disappearing in this trip
to the airport in LA going to cost the Dolphin
linebacker a whole lot of chicken feed a whole lot
of chicken? How much well, his per game salary the
amount of the fine fifty eight thousand, eight hundred twenty
three dollars. So that works out to a two hundred

(01:29:17):
thirty five thousand dollars loss in wages for this particular
football player. But wait, there's more. Timmins could also have
to pay back some of his signing bonus, which would
also be six hundred forty seven thousand dollars. And in
addition to that, the cherry on top of the you
know what, Sunday, he's at risk to lose four point

(01:29:41):
five million dollars as part of next year's contract. So
the math right now works out to eight hundred eighty
thousand plus the trip for the trip of the airport,
and potentially we're gonna get to five point three million
dollars in financial losses for Lauren Timmins based on this

(01:30:02):
particular activity. Chances that he plays another game for the Dolphins,
I will go less than one percent. There's always the
possibility that the Dolphins actually win some games but lose
linebackers and desperate things happen, but that's a long shot.
So you gotta go. You gotta go less than one percent.
It is the Ben Maller Show. As you are locked

(01:30:26):
in on Fox Sports Radio. We thank you for that.
Don't forget to check out our podcast, which I understand
is doing very well. I don't get any extra money
for that, but the podcast is doing very well. You
can download that podcast. What I really like about the
podcast is I don't get any money out of it,
but it really annoys the suits that the big shots
here at Fox Sports Radio that make the decisions, they
get furious because they look at the podcast numbers. They

(01:30:48):
get those more often the ratings, and they look at
the podcast numbers and it drives them nuts because there
are other shows and I'm not going to name names.
I don't talk about my teammates here, but there are
other shows that we are beating that we should not
be beating. And I'd like to even beat more of
the shows. And you can help us do that. I
need your help on that. And you've been great you guys.

(01:31:08):
I've asked you to do stuff. And the cool thing
is this doesn't cost any money. Like usually people on
radio ask you for stuff, you gotta pay money. This
is free assuming you have a smartphone. If you don't
have a smartphone, you're screwed. If you don't have a computer,
you're screwed. You're helped. You can't do anything for me.
You can't help me in this fight to win the
podcast battle among the shows here at Fox Sports Radio.
But the podcast is available at iTunes and everywhere else

(01:31:33):
you can find quality podcasts. And occasionally I'll let you
in a little secret here on the podcast. Sometimes the
things that you don't hear on the show, it sounds
like there's a glitch and there's like something missing from
the show. It's usually because somebody's got a potty mouth,
like angry Bill or Rusty in Tennessee, and so we
have to delete it. But occasionally on the podcast, I've

(01:31:56):
heard stories I don't know if it's true or not
that sometimes that might get on the podcast. I'm just saying, Mike,
get on there, Edmund Dallas, steam Boat, Willie Garcia. So
Rusty has taken to Twitter. He's not happy. No, he's
not happy. We're not at letting him back on the air.

(01:32:17):
But Rusty's doing some self medication. I think that might.
Like Lawrence Timmins, there needs to be punishment for for actions.
That's correct. I like Adam Gase. I've ripped him Eddie,
you know that. But I like this move. That's a
that's a strong move by Adam ga I mean, but
isn't this expected? Who who's saying this is unjust? No people.
Some of the feedback on the internet, people are like this,

(01:32:38):
they should have gotten him help. You know, he's clearly
got something wrong here. Cte is being blamed. Anytime an
NFL player does anything, how great must it be to
be an NFL player? It's like, well, I made him say, Cte,
you know everything. It's the number one fallback. Excuse No,
I'm saying that they can't prove it until you're dead.
Exactly exactly. I've got ct Eddie. I've played Paul. Every

(01:33:00):
time I have a bad show, it's because of c
t A done. You can try it. Yeah, it's worth it. Yeah, Okay.
Can I get in on a lawsuit and get some
money or something like that? Everyone's the d thing do
to do right to get some money out of it. No.
I think there's a couple of kickers that are in
on it. So I mean, if they can get in
on I don't see where you can't get in on it. Ben.
You must have Danny, you must have it really bad

(01:33:26):
shot fired. Remember when Danny was positive when he started
and and then he started working with you, And no,
it wasn't me, it was other people. Danny was like,
you know what, I wasn't a good mood until I
watched the Dodgers game last night. What you're doing? I
had nothing to do with that. You just wat some boys.
I texted Ben because I thought I would find my solace. Ben,
what did you text back? I might have said some

(01:33:48):
derogatory things, I mean, possibly right, but that's how I felt. Well,
you want me to lie to you? No, I just thought,
you know, you'd make it better somehow. But well, that
was a mistake by you, Danny. I mean you thought
Ben was going to lift you off. It's all right,
don't worry. Everything's fine. I think I ripped the Dodger.

(01:34:09):
I ripped the Dodger offense. And then I said, well,
Phillies have terrible pitching. How could they not score more
runs against these bumps? Something like that. Then I felt
extra bad. And then you took another shot at Bias,
and then I love how I'm recapping a text conversation.
It's not not great radio. And then I said, Dave
Roberts loves him. I stand by those teaments. Hey, I
got an interesting question here. This is a legitimate question,

(01:34:29):
the baseball question, not about the Dodge. Now, the Minnesota
Twins are in in a Twin angel fight to get
in the playoffs. Here one slot realistically left in the
American League. Down the stretch we go. The Twins are
in New York. They lost the to the Yankees. Mcguelson. No,
don't you know, he's been out. He didn't play. He

(01:34:51):
hasn't played for the Twins since August nineteen. And so
the Twins are getting trying to win a playoffs, but
they're getting going here down the stretch. And from what
we're being told here, Paul Molitor, the Twins manager, sounded
like he's not willing to play mcguel Sinnelt as he
tries to come back from injury here, that he's not

(01:35:14):
willing to play him, that he cannot get regular playing
time for the Twins even if they make the playoffs.
Like if the Twins show up in the Division series
and Miguel Sinel one of their better players, I think
we'd all agree on that that it's over, that he's
going to be a backup player. And why is that, Well,
according to the Twins manager, that they're just running out

(01:35:37):
of time. There's not enough time left for mcguel Sinnel
to get playing time where he'd get his timing back
with the pitching that he would have to face and
all that. The reason I bring this up is because
Bryce Harper has also been out for a good amount
of time. The narrative out of Washington is that as

(01:35:58):
soon as Bryce Harper is ready to go, they're gonna
throw him out there and put him in the lineup.
And even if it's not till the playoffs start, they
want Bryce Harper in the lineup. So why is it
different with mcguel Sano. Why is there little chance that
he can be a regular player for the Twins when
Bryce Harper, When Bryce Harper on some kind of hyper

(01:36:19):
rehab where he's in a better position than than Sono,
I don't get that. I'm trying to figure out why
it's so different between these two guys who are both
I know it's a different situation Minnesota and Washington, but
seems bizarre. Seems seems a little bizarre. There a little
bizarre that the Twins would not be rushing to get

(01:36:41):
SnO back into the lineup. All right, you'll listen to
the Benn Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio. We give
out the number once an hour, that is it, one
time an hour, and we'll do that right now. We're
gonna do it right now. Here we go. You're ready,
all right, everyone's ready. This is true. It is very excite.
Here's the big reveal. Eight seven seven ninety nine on

(01:37:05):
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine. Brother,
that is the number. Operators are standing by. But space, yes,
space is limited, and once the lines are full, the
lines are full, you are rude. It is over for you.
We'll swim with the sharks. We'll get to that. We'll

(01:37:28):
do it next. The Ben Maller Show has been called
a show about nothing, but Twitter has definitely something. Joined
the Charms circle and follow Ben on Twitter. He is
at Ben Maller and you can follow our technical producer.
He plays all the music and most of the funny
soundbites in the Ben Maller Show. His first name is Danny.
His last name is a mystery to most, but you
can follow him at Danny g Radio and at the

(01:37:50):
top Year Lung Scream where the White Women at and
I live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. It's
Ben Maller. We'll swim with a Shark coming up. In
a moment, I was trying to figure out why the
Twins are publicly reluctant to play MCGUELSONO as a regular,
but the Nationals cannot wait to get Bryce Harper back

(01:38:11):
in the lineup. I would say that MCGUELSONO. When he's right,
is as valuable to the Twins as Bryce Harper is
to the Washington Nationals. So I find it bizarre that
the teams have taken different positions on this. Well, some
of the Mallard militia chiming in. Robbie and the Mariner
fan says the reason is because Bryce Harper is more experienced,

(01:38:35):
more important, and his pure hitting abilities light years ahead
of Sano. I don't agree with that. Robbie the Rooster
very simply says it's because Paul Molitor is a dope.
I like that answer better. That's a good answer. Curtis
points out, it's tough to figure out that Dusty Baker
has proved to be a manager who makes plenty of

(01:38:56):
mistakes managing his guys, says Kurtis, taking a shot at
Dusty Baker. Let's go to Jed who fled, who's on
Fox Sports reader. We're gonna have too much or not
enough coming up in a few minutes as well, So
if you want to play, you can call for that.
What's going on? Jed who fled? Good time of a
man called me just finished chewing. Nice job, nice job.

(01:39:19):
I want to just say, well, and after that, I
got to give the shout out to a staple of
all that's good in great in America, Valian of Saultage
with hot sauce. If you hadn't had some recently? Go
have some? Ben? Social media in general, like you said,
has has led to a pampered generation becoming more pampered
as social media exploded later in our millennial lives. And

(01:39:42):
like Eddie said, how can a millionaire upon millionaire upon
millionaire just be so insecure and sipping the hat Rade
that they have to get fake profiles to criticize people.
I can't even comprehend that. I can't. There's human being,
that's the human condition. I can person and attack people.

(01:40:07):
You got, well, don't you do that? I do that
all the time. I've got like seventeen fake accounts. Yes.
In fact, there's actually no one listening to the show.
Everyone on Twitter is just me. All these characters I've
created on Twitter, it's all my You think that you
think you think Ernie and Michigan's real, No, that's me.
You think Robbie the Mariner fans actually a real persons. Yes,

(01:40:29):
I've got every every porn bot follows me because we're
on at the time the porn bots are out, because
you're big, that's right. Hello, Yes, wait, Ben, does this
mean you're David Gagon? I'm the gag on a Cad.
I'm Dolphin Mike, I'm a manic Mike. I'm everyone weed man, hippies,
not even real, it's all me. I stole this from

(01:40:50):
Phil Henry. It worked for Phil Henry, and I've stolen
his act. All I have is aliases. That's all I have.
I'm not even real, I'm fake, I'm phony. I think
I should be a part of this breaking news. Is
that going out on Twitter or what coops celebrating Mary Jane?
So I don't know that that's going out right now
being Mary Jane? Which is why is that trending? It's

(01:41:13):
been trending all day on on Twitter. Why is that?
Does anyone know? The answer today? Is that because it's
a lame TV show? A TV show? What channels it? Yeah?
I don't know. Something up in the higher numbers. Didn't
we use this as a joke. Somebody send a joke
in on this for Big Ben's lame Jokes of the week,
I think so. Yeah, all right, so the Ben Mallers Show,

(01:41:33):
Thank you, Jack always in all your royalty. Thank you.
Let's go to Daryl in Vancouver, who's on Fox Sports Radio. Hello, Darryl,
how are you doing? Darryl? If I was any better,
I'd be a Canuck, but not a Vancouver Canuck because
they're not going to win the Stanley Cup. Oh they're awful.
They're awful. I'm a Flyer fan anyway, but the Canucks

(01:41:56):
are awful. But anyways, Ben back to why it's calling
I'm fond of because I'm a little bit curious as
to why this Michael Bennett situation isn't a little bit
bigger news and media and just the fact that somebody
could be doing throwing up a racist sign like he
has and nobody's making any comments about it. If if

(01:42:17):
there had been a white guy that had done some
stupid racial remark, it'll be all over the place. And
I've watched my share of interviews at the Michael of
the Bennett brothers, and they come across as a couple
of racist scumbags. To be honest, I'm not big fans
of theirs, but it's fair. Listen, Michael Bennett's race baiting.
I think that's going on here. I think there's a

(01:42:37):
lot of that going on, and I understand he's gonna
sue the Las Vegas Police Department good luck. The video
that I've seen on the internet I don't know how
you can you can win any money because it doesn't
seem like he's got much of a case there for
his troubles. But I've tried to ignore Michael Bennett as
much as I can. Here. I want you to do
monologues about I did a couple on Michael Bennett. Would

(01:42:59):
you like me to go down that road? But I
feel I feel like I've beaten the Kaepernick horse into
the ground here. He is a follower of Kaepernick, he's
a disciple of Kaepernick. And I don't know what what
can I add ian he's doing this thing. He's trying,
he's trying to become a celebrities guy. He's writting a book,
a race baiting book. So good luck to Michael Bennet.
I hope it works out for him. True. But one

(01:43:20):
thing that's annoying you though sports is kind of a
a time for you to get away from that. Not anymore.
It's getting shoved down our throats. I don't even know
it's not but so, I I don't know you could
say that for a long time. I don't know you
can say that. Now everything's down so and it's not.
It's not like it's gonna go back. It's you can't
put the toothpaste back in the tube. It's out now.
That's totally true. And that's what that's what's disappointing is

(01:43:44):
is now it's gone from being a kind of a
place where you could go on the weekend and relax
and watch your teams, and now you're getting political and
religious garbage cram down your throat every time you turn around.
And I think it's turning fans off. And that's why
you're seeing stadium's empty and people not tuning and because
they're tired of this garbage. Well we'll find out if
that's the case, then the people that run sports, they'll

(01:44:06):
have to get their head out of the sand and
they'll have to do something about it. But we're not
we're not there yet. They're they're blaming They blame the
Emmys this weekend on the low ratings. And they've got
an excuse for last year. It was Donald Trump. Now
they're not blaming Trump. They've moved on to other stuff.
All right, thank you, Daryl, there's Daryl and vancou All right,
we'll swim with the sharks in a moment. Also, too
much or not enough? We got Tinderni tips. Later this hour,

(01:44:29):
Danny Gee's gonna do it with his shirt off. We're
very excited about that. Yeah, I've never done that, all right,
for the ladies. Yeah, they like candy for the ladies.
So we'll get to that later in the hour. You're
listening to the Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio,
and right now Eddie Garcia with the latest. Well, Ben,
we have twelve days left in the baseball regular season,

(01:44:51):
so we're getting down to it and checking the playoff races.
The Yankees beat the Twins five two minuteso does lead
for that second wild card spot in the American League
is still a game and a half, though on the Adels.
Because the Adels lost to the Indian six to three.
Red Sox blanked Orioles won nothing in eleven innings. Boston
still has a three game lead on New York attop
the Al East Comes have won seventh straight. After a
two one win over the Raised, Brewers get by the

(01:45:12):
Pirates one nothing. Milwaukee is now one game back in
Colorado for that second wildcard spot in the National League,
as the Rockies lost to the Giants four to three.
Dodgers Magic number to wrap up, the NLST is down
to two even though they lost to the Phillies six two,
but the Coamondbacks also lost follow into the pod Rays
six to two. This report is brought to you by Truecar.
With Truecard, you can find out what other people in
your area pay for the same car you're looking for,

(01:45:34):
new or used. To visit Truecar and enjoy more confident
card buying experience. And Ben, I don't know if you
saw this or not, but Demorris Smith was reelected as
the NFL Players Association executive Director Tuesday night by a
vote of fourteen to nothing by the selection committee. So
that means we're gonna be talking about him during the
labor stoppage in a couple of years. About three year

(01:45:54):
term runs through twenty twenty one, which coincides with the
final year of league collective bargaining agreement. That's great. I
cannot wait for labor negotiation radio. That will be fun.
That'll be a ratings winner. We will have a lot
of success on this show when there's no football. We
just talked about labor negotiations. So we're gonna play in

(01:46:15):
a moment here too much or not enough, So call
right now. The number is all. I can't give it
out again, already give it on. So if I hope
you know the number, give it out for you if
you want. I can't give it out. You can do
what you want, but I can't give it even. See
all right, We're coming to you from the Geico Fox
Sports Radio studios, where fifteen minutes could save you fifteen

(01:46:36):
percent or more on your car insurance. Just visit Geico
dot com. We go deep into the Southern fried football
region the SEC. Do you hear about this? The University
of Mississippi, the student body president announced that the students
at Old Miss will be able to vote on whether

(01:46:57):
or not to change the Rebel black Bear mascot. Do
you hear about this? They have their deciding now. They
went they used to have like an old colonel. Yes,
and so they changed it to this bear, which I've
never seen on TV or anything. So they can go back. No, no,
no, no no, no, definitely not going back at the times

(01:47:17):
we live it. No, No, I'm pretty confident that the
old dude was he a colonel rev Yeah, that's definitely
not coming back. But they're deciding whether or not to
continue on as having the black Bear mascot or the
land shark. Um, yeah, land shark is a land shark. Then,

(01:47:40):
well it's a move. The defense at the Old Miss
football team kind of started this, I believe a couple
of years ago. Yeah, I've seen him do that thing
where they put their hands on top of their head
where they make a big play. Apparently spread to some
of the other sports teams at at Old Miss. So
they'll imagine a Mississippi football team and they'll have a

(01:48:02):
little shark costume walking around on the sidelines. It'll be good, right,
What could possibly go wrong with that? That won't be
mocked at. Maybe Katy Perry has one of her sharks
left over that they could borrow. You're already behind the
eight ball when you're at you know, University of Mississippi.
Mights be fair. When you're playing the other SEC teams,
you're you're a little bit behind. And that's a good point,

(01:48:22):
the Katy Perry thing. You can get that. And there's
the San Jose Sharks, you know, Yeah, but you know
a little week can't they do better than that? I
don't know, bears this kind of land I mean, that
was just like a geek. They had to get rid
of Colonel Red, so they had to they panicked and
went in doubt. You just go with them. Yeah, I
don't think they should do the sharks because how many

(01:48:44):
people get bitten by sharks every year? Well, land sharks
are you know? They're okay, Yeah, they're not a big threat.
They don't buy anybody. I don't think they exist. But yeah,
really okay, what if sharks started walking? Like what if
shark Nado took place and like sharks started like flying
through the air and walking, How great that would be? Unique? Yeah, okay,
moving on, here we go. Let's do it. It's another

(01:49:06):
Ben Meller game to many of these too much or
not enough enough? Already too much or not enough. Let's
do this right now. We welcome in our contestant from
the Valley of the Sun. We say hello to Tom,
who's in Phoenix. Hello Tom, Welcome, Hey man. I can't

(01:49:26):
wait for the d Back to meet the Dodgers in
the playoffs. But right, if you play a game, how
old are you old enough? Now? How old? Give me
a ballpark like the fifty three are right, Yeah, you're
gonna have to live about one hundred and fifty years
for that to happen. I hope you make it. I'm
pulling for you. Try one hundred and fifty days for

not enough? For the Washington Nationals Ace? Too much? Is
gonna go? Too much? Is that right? That is correct,

playing with fire. You're holding matches right now? Can we
just fail this guy right now? Yeah? I will now
ask you impossible questions. You now have no chance, Tom,

you're positive because because if you get it wrong, I'm
gonna goof on you. You sure you want to do that?
I'm positive not enough. I'm trying to talk you out
of it. You want to go not enough? Yes? They do?
All right? Yeah, let us there on that question. You
got it wrong, just like the Diamondbacks are gonna get

(01:53:32):
it wrong in the playoffs. You did win the game, though,
so I guess I have to give you a golden ticket,
even though you annoy the hell out of me. You
win a golden ticket. There you go. Yeah, Hey, I
feel like Willie Walker. It's the only thing the state
of Arizona is gonna win. Yeah. And just to point
this out here that this has no monetary value, so

(01:53:55):
only on the show. Okay, I've gotta go. All right,
thank you, Tom. There are yoes, the very annoying Tom
in Phoenix, who is gonna be disappointed. And I will
laugh at it. When the Diamondbacks meekly leave the playoffs,
I will laugh hysterically at him. Love is in the air.

Day day? Lan on Twitter says the girlfriend bothered me
about laundry. During week two of the NFL's a breakup time.
He says, I'm gonna give her the benefit of the
doubt and say, yes, hell yeah, break up with her. Ben,

(01:56:56):
This is definitely a female violation. You do not if
you're not into sports. A lot of us are fortunate
that are women like sports nowadays, but there still are
some women that don't dig football for whatever reason. I say,
that's gonna be a problem for the next few months.
So you might want to just break up with her
temporarily and get back together with her in the middle

(01:57:18):
of February. Yeah, and you have time and place matters.
Time and place matter. You got another time time nor
the place is on an NFL Sunday. Sounds like she's
doing that on purpose. Yeah, that is that's terrible. Here's
an anonymous Yeah, this got sense, It got sense of
My direct message is a p one. But he didn't

(01:57:38):
want us use in his name, all right, He says
his girlfriend cheated on him last week. Now you know
why he doesn't want his name. We talked yesterday and
are gonna try to work it out. But do I
have a free pass? Now? It's a tough situation because yeah,
you do unofficially, but do you really want to go

(01:57:58):
down that road, because once you open that box, there's
there's no going back, you know, Ben, I've in my
early twenties, I had a girl that you know, there
there was we were on and off again, so there
was some of that going on, and whenever I was
with another chick, I always got paranoid. I felt like, well,
if I'm doing this, what's to say she's not doing

(01:58:20):
this right now? So it causes all these head games
and it's really not worth it. If you're a grown adult.
Well maybe he's not a grown adult. Possibly maybe not
so okay. If you're a kid and you just want
to have some fun, did you break up and just
play the field, have some fun? Why not go out
there have a good time. I don't know how long
they've been together, all right, Brent on Twitter says, and
we're listening to Tenderoni tips. We're on periscope. Say hi

(01:58:43):
to everybody periscope. Yeah, and we're both wearing red. We
looked like DJ Quick up in here. Part of the uniform.
Good thing. You have the blue Dodger hat on Oh yeah,
you got the raider Raider you have the matching red hat.
A periscope app Eddie on f SR Eddie on FSR.
Brett on Twitter writes, and he says, I haven't on

(01:59:04):
and off again girlfriend five months and made the mistake
of loaning her one hundred dollars for her cell phone.
He's been blowing me off lately. Please advise, we've all
done A lot of us have fallen into this trap. Ye,
do not. I lost money a few years back. I

(01:59:26):
took this girl to the Sprint store and got her
a phone and thought she was gonna deposit the money
every month, and you know what happens after that. So dude,
you're just gonna have to chalk this up as a
learning lesson. Do not unless you're in a serious relationship
and you're both paying bills together, do not loan money
out to a girl you're on and off again with.
Gave a one hundred dollar donation to that young lady.

(01:59:49):
Just pretend like you took her out to a nice
steak dinner because that hundred is gone. It is out
of there, all right. Jess on Twitter writes, Then it's
tender only tips on the Ben Mallah Jess on Twitter says,
had three great dates with a hottie, but she's dodging
the fourth. You think it's because she's scared it's gonna happen.

(02:00:09):
It's gonna happen. Yeah, I thought it was the third date.
It was supposed to happen. Now it's the fourth date. Well,
it depends. It's you know, everybody's different. Three strikes, you're out. No, no, no,
you know you can't go into dating a female as
if you're thirsty, don't. Well you are, but don't let
her know that. Well, maybe she's upset with you, Jess,
because you didn't put the moves on on date number three.

(02:00:30):
As she knows the rules, she's moving on somebody else.
How about that if she's dodging them though bed nine
times out of ten, if a woman's dodging you, she's
got other things going on, other men going on. So
you're gonna have to wait this out and be a
little bit patient. But you know, if she doesn't reply
for a fourth date soon, next move on. Are you
saying there's a chance she's expanded her roster like baseball

(02:00:51):
in September, she already had the roster probably? Yeah, all right,
very good. There it is Tenderni tips with Danny g
Radio and you say, if you want your question next
week if you if you want a direct message, so
you can do that at Danny G Radio. At Danny
G Radio, we solved all your problems. I feel better now.
I'm in a better place right now because of this.
Clearly it might have been just one random game during

(02:01:13):
the NFL season, but turns out it has giant ramifications.
The Monday Night fallout continues here. If we push forward
in the week, welcome in the beginning of another hour.
It's the Ben Maller Show. We are in the air

(02:01:37):
visit Geico dot com for a free rate quote. Here
we are back at it again this hour. And when
you are owing two, the torture chamber gets cranked up.
We know that I go to play sixteen games math

(02:02:00):
O and two. That's bad. Look at Cincinnati, they whacked
their offensive coordinator. What about the Giants though, Giants unlike
the Bengals, who were thought of as a second tier
contender in the AFC, the Giants, they were pegged as
a legitimate threat to the top of the NFC legit

(02:02:20):
contender status. The Giants. Not only are they a football
team right now, they are all together terrible and so
change is likely coming. What kind of change, Well, we
got a tip to that in the last twenty four hours.
Ben macadoo, the Giants head coach. Apparently he's trying his

(02:02:41):
best to hold on to calling plays, but there is
a push behind the scenes and the Giants organization to
have him removed. And so there's a power play going
on right now behind the scenes with the Giants and
Ben McAdoo. The end result, the Giants coach could be
for to give up plague calling duties. So let's talk

(02:03:03):
about this now. The Giants have averaged an anemic seventeen
point nine points per game since Ben McAdoo became coach,
and in that time, the Giants have had a primiary
receiver Odell Beckham, and from what we've been told, Elijah
Manning just amazing, just the Hall of Fame quarterback and

(02:03:24):
all that, and yet they have averaged less than eighteen
points per game. So if Ben McAdoo is forced to
give up the plague calling duties, what are they gonna do.
It's not like they're gonna go out and hire Chip
Kelly to call the plays. No Mike Sullivan, who he's
the offensive coordinator for the Giants, and he would likely
be the one that calls the plays, unlikely to bring

(02:03:47):
someone in from the outside. So this begs the question
how much danger is Ben McAdoo in his job status
with the Giants now? On a scale of one to ten,
with ten being you are about to be fired, I'm
gonna go seven point five. Now, it's not gonna happen

(02:04:08):
right now, but the scale of concern, the matheror scale
of concern, is a seven point five. Couple of things
on this you've got offensive guru, sinking ship, and a
fishbowl situation. Now we'll begin with the fact that Ben
McAdoo when he got the job, and he was originally
hired as the air apparent to Tom Cofflin, is the

(02:04:29):
offensive coordinator. But before that he was a rising star
in the coaching ranks, and when he got to the
Big Apple. The reason that he was thought of the
way he was, he was tagged as a legit, big
time offensive guru, right offensive gurver Ben McAdoo back in
his days with the Packers, and he was not the
coordinator in Green Bay. He was the tight ends coach

(02:04:51):
and a quarterback coach at lambeau Field. But he did
a lot more than that, his hands and his fingerprints
and a lot of stuff. How's that working out with
the Giants? Well, McAdoo, he's coached nineteen games, nineteen games
now is Giants coach. And they have scored no more
than twenty eight points in a game. They've scored more

(02:05:14):
than twenty eight one time. So they've scored more than
twenty eight one time. That's it. It's usually under twenty eight.
The average is about a little less than eighteen points
a game. So how's that for an offensive minded, offensive
minded head coach? Now? The second thing this reminds me
of Brian Billick. Brian Billick coached some explosive Viking offenses

(02:05:37):
and then he finally got the head coaching job in
the NFL with the Ravens years ago, and just like
Brian Billick, Ben McAdoo following a similar path, although not
quite as dominant the offense as he ran with the Packers,
although he wasn't the coordinator more with the Giants, but
Billick when he became the head coach the Ravens were

(02:05:57):
painful to watch on offense garbage and just like that,
you know the same thing, macdoo. Now he's taken over
and Brian Billick got tagged as a defensive minded coach
even though that was not the case. And the same
thing's happening to this guy, Macdo forget the whole media
driven outrage over Elijah Manning and macdoo. That was trivial.

(02:06:23):
The bigger concern here is that the Giants are a
sinking ship. You've got diminishing returns from the quarterback. Your
elite receivers are not doing it even when the passes
are there. Brandon Marshall butterfingers Marshall dropping passes all over
the place. It's it's unraveling, and it's unraveling fast. Now,

(02:06:45):
the last point on this, the Giants have Philly and
Tampa back to back on the road next couple of weeks.
That sounds like an Owen four start based on what
we've seen from the Giants so far. So then you
have a long, slow death spiral. If you start out

(02:07:06):
Owen four, how do you dig out of that? The
mass says you don't dig out of it. They're not
gonna quit. They're gonna keep trying, but good luck. But
if you do get off to that Owen four start.
We know the Giants are conservative, so they're not gonna
fire Macudo now. But you are living in the fish
bowl of New York and the New York media market,
which will lead to questions being raised and change being demanded.

(02:07:32):
You've got Jim Harbaugh who's in Michigan, and his name's
gonna pop up again. Jim Harbaugh to the NFL, Jim
Harbaugh of the Colts, Jim Harbor, you name it, his
name will come up. There's several other coaches names that
will rise up from the college ranks as well. And
so you look at this and Ben Macket do he's
got it. He's got a little time, but not much.

(02:07:54):
It's got to overhaul the offense and got to figure
it out. This offense is no good. In fact, some
of these guys on the offensive line, which is not great.
But that's a cop out, excuse you gotta you can
coach around that. There are ways you can do it
to cover for a poor offensive line. The quarterback can
help cover for it. It's not gonna be perfect. There's

(02:08:15):
gonna be some mistakes, but at this point you got
to hold a seance to reach some of these guys.
And the Giants the way they played the last couple
of weeks, it is terrible. It's absolutely terrible. What's what's
been going on? And I got no skin in the game.
I'm not a toady for the Giants, so I'm not
in the tank, if you will, for Big Blue. That's

(02:08:37):
not the case at all. So the Ben Maller Show,
you are locked in on Fox Sports Radio, and we
thank you for that. We thank you for that, appreciate it.
And how about this now in Major League Baseball. I'm
not gonna do a whole runt about baseball, but this
caught my attention. I had no intention of mentioning the

(02:09:00):
Detroit Tigers, because not only are the Detroit Tigers a
baseball team, they are lousy. But something bizarre happened at
Comerica Park that caught my attention. Did you see this?
Did you see what happened at America Park? There was
a bachelor party. Now, listen, guys go to baseball games, right,

(02:09:20):
this happens. We go there, but you guys get together,
go out, have a good time. Well, the theme of
this bachelor party. This is where it gets good and
very bizarre. It was it was Star Wars Night at
America Park, but the theme of the bachelor party was
not Star Wars. It was by the way, I'll bringing
Eddie on this eddie. Have you heard about this eddie?

(02:09:40):
Did you see this year what happened at America Park? Yes?
I have? All right, So so it was Star Wars night,
but the baseball game was actually kind of put on
hold there because of forty five roughly forty five dudes
dressed up as Tom Selleck's character from Magnum p I.
If you're an old part I guess it's still on TV,

(02:10:03):
but it's like vintage nineteen eighties Hawaii investigating. It's a
good show. Yeah, yeah, I don't have a good show.
When I watched it, I admite it back in the day.
I did. So these guys, they're they're having a bachelor party.
They're going for it, right, they're enjoying life. Great MoMA
in someone's life, a bachelor party, and these guys are

(02:10:23):
enjoying themselves and they are all dressed up like Tom
Selleck's character, and they ended up ended up irritating security.
So much. They were apparently cat calling women that were
in the crowd Tigers game dressed as Thomas Magnum there,
the great character played by Tom Selleck for the for

(02:10:45):
the White Sox. I think it was the White Sox
Tigers can't believe that was it, and uh yeah, they
ended up getting booted out and one of the guys,
it was his bachelor party, told the Fox TV station
in Detroit that they were told by the Tigers that
they were ejected for cat calling, but the Tom Selleck
characters say that was not true, that they were not

(02:11:08):
cat calling the women. I demand an investigation. I want
to see what really happened. I need the truth. These
guys need the lawyer off. How dare how dare the Tigers?
That should be happy? Anybody goes to a Tiger's game
at this point, they suck their garbage. Let him in,

(02:11:28):
let them all in. This was supposedly a bachelor party, yes,
And how many people were dressed up like Magnum pond?
The number I saw was forty five? Who the hell
has forty five people of their bachelor party? The popular person, Eddie,
what are you talking about? This popular thing here? How

(02:11:49):
dare you? It's very odd. Forty five people people who
didn't have forty five people, and they're invited to their
wedding wedding party. Yeah, one of the guys in the
group said that the real reason they were thrown out
is because they're so cool and that, yeah, they were
distracting the on field play because everybody was paying attention

(02:12:10):
to them instead of the basement. Because they're more interesting
than the Tigers. You got rid of all the good players.
That's why the Tiger's release a statement said this is
from a spokeshack for the Detroit Tigers prepared statement regarding
what happened the other night at America quote. It was
inappropriate behavior. The group was given multiple warnings, they violated
the code of conduct, and they were asked to leave

(02:12:33):
and have not been banned from the park. Now, this
guy is asking the Tigers, the guy who's batchelor party
it was, is asking to be reimbursed for the tickets.
What are the chances he gets that one? Who are
you going to believe in this story the Tigers or
the drug jackasses who came to the mau I believe

(02:12:55):
the magnum pi idiot that Tigers have no sense of humor? Drug.
Guys dress like doing Eddie, Edie, Daddy Ship Tim Main
dressed in Hawaiian shirts. Eddie. They're fat man, middle aged
man in Hawaiian shirts wearing tis you know how much

(02:13:18):
a tire head cast? No, Eddie, get out. You're a
bad human being. You're going to hell, Eddie. I say,
let them in. I say, you know what, the last
day of the year. Let them play. Let Tom said.
Let the magnum p I guys play. Go to the
strip club. That's where they go after the game. That's
where they go. You go to the game, and then

(02:13:39):
you go to the nudy bar after the game. That's
how that works. That's wasting good nudy bar time. Let's
go to our expert on this. We go now to
our magnum PI expert, weed Man, Hippie, weed Man, do
you have more to add to this developing story? Weed Man,
Hippie exactly. Just for the record, this is the guy

(02:14:07):
at a hippy fit and demanded more airtime. I went
to him as a consultant. I just asked him for
advice on this developing story, this burning story, which is
the big story in Fox Too and Detroit's running with it.
It's on their website there and it's all over the place.
And I went to weed Man to try to get
his perspective, Man of the people, weed Man Hippie. And

(02:14:27):
what did he do? He was off doing something. I
don't know what the hell is he watching TV or
something like that. I don't know what's going on that
might be going on too, might be should we go
back to weed Man Hippie. I don't know. Maybe yeah,
I think we should definitely go. So, yeah, I'm sure
he's ready now, I think so. Yeah. Maybe he fell asleep,

(02:14:50):
it's definitely I hear movement. Well, we're in the house
and you're listening live to Fox Sports Radio. We are
in the house of weed Man Hippie, somewhere in South
Beach where we've all wanted to be. Yes, dreams do
come true. Smells weird though, it's weird smells. I think
he fell asleep because he would have gone and picked
up the phone by now. I think he's passed out.

(02:15:13):
How do you think he'll ever realize that he's been
on the air now for to the podcast doesn't strike
me as a podcast listen I think he does actually
listen to the podcast alight well, shout out to weed Man.
Listen to the podcast right now, you dope. I went
to you and you're not there. Love you. It was

(02:15:34):
a fake. I sounded like it sounded just like it.
We'll let him sleep. This is a point I can
give out the number the Eddie's a jerk here, he's
on the wrong side of this yet again, Eddie, you're
in the wrong side. Are you doing this just for
the show? Is I'm telling you? These guys are acting
like idiots. Were having a good time at a baseball game.
God forbid the criminals. Yes, get outs. They dressed like

(02:15:59):
magnum pi. That's a criminal act they were. I believe
that these guys were just, oh, we weren't doing anything.
We were just watching the baseball game. I believe the
Tigers were uncomfortable because they were more interesting than the game.
I believe that on the video you hear some of
them saying the Tigers suck. Anyways, Yes, yeah, they were.
They had a cut out of Tom Selleck that they brought.

(02:16:21):
Did you see that some of them had fake mustaches on? Yes?
Really class they kind of looked you know what, they
looked like. They looked like idiots. Eddie they answer his idiots. No. No,
they look like those characters in the old Saturday Night
Live the Bears, you know, the super Fans. Yeah, because
some of these guys were kind of reminded me of that.

(02:16:45):
And it looked like some of the stuff I saw
like they were hot chicks that were coming over taking
pictures with them. So they were doing all right, Like
they were beautiful women that wanted to go over there
and be part of this. They wanted to be part
of the scenes. Chill out, man, get a sense of humor.
The Tigers, what a bunch of idiot bad baseball team.
At least have a sense of humor. If somebody shows
up to your sticking game. All right, I'll give out

(02:17:05):
the number. Here it is. You want to be part
of this. We give it out once an hour. That's it.
One time, that is all. And if you don't call,
that's fine. We got plenty of stuff to talk about.
Here is the number eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three six nine.

(02:17:25):
And you can be part of the festivities. That's how
that works. And the decline, the decline continues. We'll get
to that. We'll do it next It's been said the
Ben Maller Show is the best kept secret in sports radio.
But you can help change that. Word of mouth advertising
is the best advertising post about the show in social
media and help keep the show growing. Now live from

(02:17:48):
the Guico Fox Sports Radio Studios, It's Ben Maller. We
are running a flash poll on my Twitter account. F
Ben mallor the biggest douche in Americans today in tribute
of our first two Mallard monologues about RG three and
Kevin Durant. And right now, do you know who's winning
that eddie? Have you looked in there? I don't okay

(02:18:08):
that the four candidates are RG three, Kevin Durant, Lebron James,
and David Price. And we've had hundreds and hundreds of
votes so far and it's only been up for a
couple of hours. How many what percentage do you think
the leader has? Wow? That Lebron was a was a

(02:18:29):
late curveball that you threw in there because I thought
Kevin Durant would be the leader because he's more relevant
than people are, like, more polarizing. But but Lebron in there,
that's love to goofy. People do not like Lebron. So
you think of Lebron's, I'm gonna Sabron's leading incorrect. Surprise
surprise here. Now I'll tell you who's in the last place.

(02:18:50):
Let me start with it. In last place with fourteen
percent of the popular vote RG three. Yeah, I thought
so because he's kind of irrelevant. People don't have hot
opinions on him. So's he's in the last Now in
second place with eighteen percent of the vote from the
for the third place. But what I say, second job

(02:19:10):
by me? All right? In third place with eighteen percent
of the vote direct out of the bullpen at Fenway
Park is David Price. But that's number one in baseball,
So congratulations, I should just I've done a baseball when
we had I think that the winner was David Price. Right,
we did that a couple of weeks ago. It was
like Yadier Molina, Price bum Gardner, and the Price won that.

(02:19:34):
Now the top two, I'll give you number one first, right,
because you'll figure out number two. The other two options.
We've got Durant James with thirty six percent of the
popular vote. Kevin Durant right now is leading the biggest
douche in American sports today. So congratulations to Kevin Durant big.
You are the leader. It's not over yet, though, it's

(02:19:55):
still time to vote, and your vote matters. Not all priests,
thinks the reporting in So please, do you need some
Russian influence on this? Possibly? You never know. The Russians
are certainly listening right now. They are big fans of
my show. Can I at our show? Let's say hello
to Mike. He's got a golden ticket. Mike in Cansa City, Hello, Mike.

(02:20:23):
So the reason I called in is I have a
fantasy team in my work league, and we bet naming
rights last week. So I wanted you to have the
honor of naming my defeated opponent's team. What's that clicking noise?
What's going on? Sorry? Pad blinkers often? Oh right, what
are you driving to right now? You can furnish him

(02:20:43):
up some work. Yeah, all right? So you want me
to name your fantasy your team or the your your
opponent's team, the person who lost. I'm having the Oh,
I get to name the team. All right. Let's let's
have my guys be part of this year. What should
we what should we do? The main star is on
his squad. Oh let's see he has this is good radio.

(02:21:08):
No one, there's no one listening. It's just us. Thought
maybe he'd already have that. No, no, no, this is
very powerful radios with this is your name. He's a
large black man who could break me with this panky. Okay,
what does racist? It's not racist at all. I don't
know how we described him was semi racist. All right,

(02:21:29):
let's see you so what can we what can we
do here? So his name is Ron right right? All right?
On his team as a Stafford Baldwin, Adams, Levion Powell, Diggs,
Lynch Anderson. Yeah, that was awesome, you could name it.

(02:21:54):
We're gonna need a couple of minutes on this bend. Yeah,
we got something. Doesn't know if he wants to say. Yeah,
that's why, Coop. You know the environment we're in right now,
You're gonna be very careful, Coop. Do we need to
read this claimer? You getting time out? Well? Okay, I
mean like you can so, I mean dump me if
you think it's it's dumb a little bit. This team

(02:22:15):
sucks a bag of digs. Oh yeah, tribute to Dick
and Dayton. Well he's that Stefon Diggs is on the team. Yeah,
it's a little long, a little bit. I don't know
how many words Sharon letters they have. There's bag of digs. Yeah,

(02:22:36):
there you go. Well, all right, all right, so Les
go with that. Get a bag of digs in there.
You gotta get a bag of digs. Just call them
the bag of digs and you can do that. Yes,
all right, all right. I don't think you liked that.
I think Mike didn't like that. He wanted something other
than that. He's not happy. That was great a stuff,
that was pretty good. You're very creative on the fly,
and I might have been a little shocked. What was

(02:22:59):
you looking for? Jeez? Don, Mega is the name that's next? Don?
What's going on? You're on Fox Sports Radio? How about
Laurn and his Sultans have fuck? Yes we could that.
Of course that wouldn't really fit a fantasy football team,
but but sure, what's going on? Don? Not too much?
I was wanted to comment on the forty five times

(02:23:20):
selling look alike. If they've gone to a Tiger, if
they've not gone to a Tiger's game, but gone to
a Lions game, they never would have been ejected because everybody,
including security would have been watching the game. Yeah, listen,
they should not have been ejected. EDI's Edie's wrong on this.
You know, he's trying to take the side. He's corporate
at each trying to take the side of a big

(02:23:41):
business and all that. But at one point, going to
baseball games, having a good time with your buddies, being men,
going out there and dressing up like Tom selling that.
What's wrong with that? Nothing wrong with it. Here's the
difference between what I'm saying with Ben saying. Ben, when
he goes to games, he sits up in the press
box at all. That is a lot to go to
the press box and use sit up there, and you're
not around the common folk every week, around the common face.

(02:24:05):
You're a charge your season, and they get drunk and
they act like idiots, and I'm sick of those people,
so screw them. But hey, you know it's it's it's
a tough job when you're getting paid to do something
you like, you know, Yeah, it's painful. All right, thank
I'm done with thank you, don good name, bad call,

check games of note from Action. The Cubs won their
seventh in a row, beating the Rays two to one.
Was the Brewers over the Pirates one to nothing. Milwaukee's

(02:25:32):

you see that Magic Johnson has been subpoena as a
witnessed in a civil lawsuit involving Golden State Warriors star

(02:26:17):
Draymond Green Knucklehead. Now, there was an altercation allegedly at
an East Lansing, Michigan bar, back in July two thousand
and six involving allegedly Draymond Green and this person who
was filing the lawsuit. And I guess Magic had tweeted
out that night that he had talked to Draymond or
any Draymond was apologetic or whatever. So now he's being

(02:26:40):
subpoened as a witness to what happened, and another another
bad day for the Laker. Frank Man, wouldn't Draymond be
the you know, the knucklehead here? Well, well, no Magic.
If Draymond, let's say, Draymond and Magic talk, right, it
had a heart to heart. Why the f would Magic
announced that on Twitter other of them to make Magic

(02:27:01):
look good like he you know he had you know this,
he's the guy that NBA players turned to when they
get in trouble. You don't put that out there because
of this, because if there's a lawsuit, this is what happened.
At least Magic did it from his real account. That's
a good point. That's a good point. Did you see
the video? TMZ caught up with DeAndre Jordan and Draymond

(02:27:23):
Green at some place in LA. They were at some
swanky place in LA and they were laughing hysterically about
Kevin Durant and Twitter. I was a little bothered though
that these two guys DeAndre Jordan and Draymond Green were
hanging out, because I like to believe that they really
don't like each other, but apparently they're best friends. You know,
this whole myth about the Warriors and the Clippers have

(02:27:44):
this rivalry. Well, no, they were. They were smoothing smoothing together.
They were out there having a good time at some
you know, high end restaurant in La So. Well, it's

what we go. You're listening to the Ben Mallers Show.
We got password, the word Game of the Stars with Manic,
Mike who's hanging out in Nashville, and Josh who's in La.

(02:37:16):
And we get back here's twenty to ten. Manic, Mike

Got it right. I should have said marijuana twenty nine

(02:38:08):

Let's close the door. All right. Here we go three, five,
six or eight through ten. Let's have a six. We're
six number six, all right, Maddick Mike, for the wind's
so exciting. The password is skipper, yeah twenty that was

(02:38:37):

beat down. It wasn't boat race. It was embarrassing. You
embarrassing yourself, Mannick Mike. You won. Congratulations you're boring, but
you want anyway there domination? All right, thank you, buddy.

(02:38:59):
Get back to Twitter. I need your tweets. You need
to tweet, all right, there he goes, he gets a
golden ticket, as they say. So the report card on
the NFL, the TV ratings, everyone's taking credit for this.
You've got both sides of the protest movement. The protests
actually started last year. People that weren't watching because of Kaepernick.
Now the people on the other side are like, well,

(02:39:21):
we're not watching either, So apparently no one's watching and
it's it's having some impact. The NFL TV windows are
all of them are down except for one Thursday night
football broadcast, which we're told was up two percent. It's
still early, it's only the second week of the year.
But they can't blame Donald Trump on this. It's not

(02:39:44):
going well. The three primetime NFL games on NBC are
down between seven and eight percent from last year, and
the ratings were down last year as well. Even the
games on Fox have been down a little bit from
where they were last year. Now, the argument the NFL
has been using quite a bit is that everything is

(02:40:06):
down in television, the ratings across the board are down,
and that the NFL's not bulletproof from this that that's
their new strategy. In fact, one of the examples that's
been being used has been used. Rather is Dancing with
the Stars, who has been very popular, and that is
back on television and they saw a twenty four percent

(02:40:26):
ratings decline on dancing. I have no idea who's on
Dancing with the Stars. I have no idea who's on.
They've run out of stars. Maybe that's why that people
aren't the people are not watching. Maybe that would be
be why. But so the ratings are down across the board.
And why are people's not watching TV as much? Are
just out doing stuff? Or did the internet kill the TV?

(02:40:47):
Remember the song you know the TV killed the radio star?
Did the smartphone kill the TV star? Is that what
happened to television? Just rather be on your phone and
many more options these days? Yeah, thank god for radio.
Thus see we have rallied back Eddie with technology now
and people can listen on their phone, and we recommend

(02:41:07):
their old school radio as the way to go. But
if not you can listen on your smartphone. It's so
hard to it's hard to get away, Like you can
listen while you're doing security to the show. It's hard
to watch a lot of TV if you're working security
because you're gonna get caught at some point. Like you
can kind of sneak or listen to the show, which
is an advantage that we have here, which I kind

(02:41:28):
of like. So anyways, The Ben Malvow Show you're listening
