Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number on, our number one of the
original recipe podcast, The Ben Mahler Show. And here in
our number one, it's all about mister unlimited Russell Wilson
as a new home. Is Russell Wilson a good fit
with the Giants? We have the Malord report card on that. Also,

(00:24):
how would you describe Russell Wilson's recent NFL resume, his
body of work? And will Russell Wilson going to the Giants?
With Russell Wilson going to the Giants, what does that
mean for the Steelers. We'll talk about that as well.
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is our number one. Well, some are calling it a

(00:52):
giant move, others saying.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
What are you doing? Welcome in not.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.

Tire iraq dot Com The Way Tire Buying Show be.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So our lead. This hour, play the hits, Play the hits,
one master, our lead.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
This hour is from the wacky world of the Quarterback Carousel.
And another one bites the dust, another one another one,
another one bites the us. So the a seat on
the carousel. Another seat has been filled on that and
Russell Wilson, remember him, yeat? Russell Wilson has found a home.

(02:20):
We now, I'm old enough to remember that Russell Wilson
at one point was considered a little bit above average,
never all that great. Right, Well, I don't know if
you saw where he went. Maybe not, perhaps you missed it.
But we have learned now through copious amounts of research
that the quarterback who was a star, mister unlimed, mister

(02:44):
unlimited in Seattle, Russell Wilson has a new home. He's
going to take his talents to the Giants. He's going
to the Giants. The former Steelers quarterback, former Broncos quarterback
and a former Seattle quarterback gets a one year contract.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I said number one, just wonder mine.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
So he gets twenty one million dollars. It's good work
if you in fighted, So Russ gets that money. The
Giants were said to be looking around scavengering trying to
find another quarterback. They also signed Jameis Winston a couple
of days ago, So they have Jameis Winston on one
side and Russell Wilson on the other. So let us
discuss the question for the esteem panel. Is Russell Wilson

(03:34):
a good fit with the Giants? So I've got hydrogen peroxide,
Gypsy King, and Koala Bear, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
pharmacies grade aspirin because you need pharmacy great aspen. When

(03:56):
you hear of Russell Wilson and the Giants side by
side like that, that what are you doing? That's a
that's a disaster, is what that is?

Speaker 4 (04:05):
All right?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
So a uh is it a good fit? It is
an unnecessary fit? And I like to try to force
something in that doesn't really belong where it's it's going.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
You're you're forcing it.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
In UH and the Mallor report card, the report card
record for Russell Wilson going from Free agency Land to
the Giants. The Malor report card, the Giants adding Russell Wilson,
that gets the d.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
H they get a D.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
The Giants have now cornered the market, the New York
Giants on middling to bad quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
So congratulations.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now we like Jameis Winston because every once in a
while he's great.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Even when he's bad, he's spectacular.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
And the Giants have had plenty of bad quarterbacks, but
they're boring bad at least Jameis Winston's fun bad. You
want fun bad. If you're gonna be bad, you want
fun bat. You don't want bad bad. You want fun bat,
fun bad better than bad bad, And Russell Wilson's bad
bad Jameis Winston's fun bat. And yet it appears that,
barring some kind of drastic turn of events here, that

(05:11):
Russ is going to be handed the Giants starting job,
at least at the beginning of the year.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
And so Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Bad bad, old bad, all that bad, bad, bad bad
bad of the bone and throwing Russ into the quarterback room.
There with the Giants throwing him in there is I
guess the keynote speaker, if you will, for the Giants,
it's kind of like mixing in hydrogen peroxide and vinegar.

(05:42):
Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar side by side. I am told
that is a combined a parasitic acid. That's a that's
a problem. Turns into acid. It's a bit of an
issue there.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
But Wilson, remember a couple of years back.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
When we had the pandemic there and everyone was locked
in their homes and all that, and only a few
people could go out and you had to be essential.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
We found out that overnight sports radio host essential. We
learned that.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
We also learned that Russell Wilson not essential. He is
a non essential worker at this particular point in his
NFL sojourn. And he met with the Giants a couple
of weeks ago. To my knowledge, nothing has changed in
terms of Russell Wilson's ability to throw the football. They
got together, they had a meeting, and he waited. He

(06:31):
met with the Cleveland Browns. He waited, and no one
was really all that interested. And then it turns out
that the Giants really wanted airon Rogers and he didn't
want them, and so they circled back to add Russell Wilson,
who is like a placeholder, but not.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
A good one. You know, he's kind of just there.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
He's a guy, and they'll talk a lot and all that.
God speed to Malie Neighbors Elak Neighbors there and the
other pass catchers for the Giants.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Good luck.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Now turning the page, how would you describe Russell Wilson
and his recent NFL resume. Let's let's take a couple
steps back, kind of look around the room here and
look at Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Look at the body of work.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
He's done here for a number of years now, not
just since he left Seattle, even in the last year
or two in Seattle, and Russell Wilson went from a
somewhat reliable investment to a cabbage patch NFT. Yeah, just
real volatile and flimsy and in fact.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Not even volatile. Very rarely does he play well. I
mean most of it.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
It's just garbage, just garbage after garbage after garbage, and
Russ he's like the Gypsy.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
King at this point he's been able to do. I
give him credit.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Let's see, Y'll give me critical You're gonna rip rush.
I should give the credit. They got credit, and I'm
impressed at what he's been able to pull off. This
is one of the great hustles that I've seen in years,
and it's a reminder that once people make their mind
up that you're.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
One way, people don't like to change their mind.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
People decided that Russell Wilson was an above average NFL quarterback,
and even though his body of work reeks of rotting feces,
yet the NFL continues to give him opportunities. It's while
he's the gypsy king. At this point, Russell Wilson is
the gypsy king, not the boxer. He's a traveling gypsy

(08:41):
that goes from town to town to town trying to
out fox authorities, trying to evade his capture. And then
Russell Wilson went from Seattle to Denver and now Pittsburgh
and the Giants. He's like working as a handyman. He's
like a handyman guy. He does some work, albeit poor
quality works. So it's not like he does nothing. He

(09:02):
does work a little bit, not great quality. And the
whole time he's going around looking for cash, and he's
trying to get cash and he's trying to get valuables
and all that, and Russ has been able to pull
it off.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
He looks for franchises.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
That have had emotionally unstable quarterback rooms right that they've
had bad problems, you know, trying to find someone who's
reliable in their center. And he laughs all the way
to the bank. Aha, just chuckle, chuckle, chuck. I mean,
it's the funniest thing in world. Just laughs his ass
off all the way to the bank and proving beyond

(09:39):
a reasonable doubt by the way that you once once
the mind's made up, as we said, and people determine
your one way. Even if you don't do that anymore,
you can continue to bounce around as a grifter and
make money. The Russell Wilson marching in shout of society
able to hornswalk goal the Giants out of another ten

(10:03):
million dollars ten point five million in garonteed money. And
we are gonna get a lot of cringeworthy stuff. Everywhere
Russ has been there's something really wack a doodle, which
is kind of fun.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Right Seattle.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
You had the mister unlimited, you had the nano bubbles.
He was pitching water that could prevent concussions or cure concussions,
one of those two things or both, and you had
in Denver, he was he was goose stepping down the
aisle of a transcontinental flight while everyone's trying to sleep.
When he was with the Broncos there they were over

(10:40):
the Atlantic Ocean and he had to do the exercises there.
And in Pittsburgh there was a whole cadre of ridiculousness
that Russ had when he played in Pittsburgh. So you're
gonna get what you're gonna get hot yoga from Russ.
You're gonna get some of that. You're gonna get, you know,
all kinds of just goober activity. And it's red meat

(11:03):
for those tabloids which are still hanging on in the
age of social media, and New York City still got tabloids.
And so they'll have a field day with that. Good
luck and yeah, and there's also a chance that all
of this is for for not because the Giants will
go out and they're going to add a quarterback.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
That just conceivable.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
They'll still add a quarterback in the draft, although I
think that's that's still a toss up at this particular
point where they do actually draft the quarterback.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
The rumors are that Shadeur Sanders.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Is going to be the guy, and we'll see whether
that actually comes to fruition or not. There's other conflicting
reports about that, and so that is where we find
ourselves at this particular point.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Can someone do a wellness check on.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Tommy Cutlet's I think Tommy Cutlet's not long for the Giants,
because if they draft a quarterback, they're not I think
keep four quarterbacks, So you gotta get rid of.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
One, all right?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Now, lean last word here, with Russell Wilson locked in
for one year with the Giants, feel.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
All the anngs from the Giants fans.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
So with Russell Wilson going to the Giants, what does
this mean for the Steelers? The terrible towels of Pittsburgh, PA.
So Pittsburgh clearly did not did not think much of
their quarterback room last year, and they have decided to
bring some bleach in and fumigate.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
It and get rid of everything, and that we're done.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Here and there's asbestis, and we got to get rid
of that too. Clearly blaming Russell Wilson and Justin Fields
for the downfall of the Steelers.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
A year ago.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Otherwise one of them would have been brought back. They
didn't even attempt to bring either one of them back,
which I agree with. They both had stank all over them.
And as they fumigate the quarterback room here, it's kind
of obvious where this is headed. And I think we know.
I think we know where this is headed. And it's
an A.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
And an R.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Aaron Rogers, as the Great Master Yoda sat back in
the day in Star Wars, if once you start down
the dark path forever, will it dominate your destiny? And
somewhere at a location, maybe in Malibu, could be in
northern California, could be somewhere in the Amazon. We're not

(13:24):
sure exactly where, but somewhere, Aaron Rodgers is planning his
trip to Pittsburgh for a meet and greet, to be
welcomed into the fold there officially as a Pittsburgh sether.
Right now, though he's still acting like a Koala bear
at the San Diego Zoo.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
He's taking his time.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
He's in a darkness retreat somewhere, trying to figure everything
out here. Rogers conserving his energy. Very important to serve
your energy. Here is sleeping and resting much like a
Koala bear all the time there, and you've got DK
Metcalf on one side.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
You've got George Pickens in the wide receiver room.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
If Aaron Rodgers decides at the last minute, psych I
really want to play.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
If he decides that, then the Steelers are gonna be
either rolling out the rotting carcass of Mason Rudolph.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Or Pittsburgh will end up doing one.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
They're gonna have to trade for Kirk Cousins or go
get the past or not from the Patriots.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Who's the backup there? Somebody like that.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I mean, good luck, good luck. I already had him
in Pittsburgh back in the day. All right is the
Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to be part
of this, you can join us right now and say hello.
The lines are open at eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
That's eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three six nine.
Now do you think that I'm wrong on this?

Speaker 2 (14:49):
That Russell Wilson will get the last laugh, that the
team from New York or actually New Jersey they play
in New Jersey, the Giants.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
That they will be smiling and celebrating.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
And that everything's gonna work out well, because I I
think there's no chance in my dimension that I'm in
right now, there is no.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Chance of that happen.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
We will take your calls eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. Later this hour, we are going to visit
the hot Tub Time Machine. We are scheduled. We'll see

Speaker 2 (15:39):
It is I Bill Miller, and you are listening to
the Ben Maler Show up all night every night, whether
you're working the third shift or just up late driving
on some back road in the boondocks, and you stumbled
onto the show.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Whatever it is you're up late dealing with some kind
of creeping crud.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
We're here for you all night, every night, and don't
forget to interact with the live show. You have an advantage,

So go figure anyway, you.

up later on. If you stay with us for the
entire journey through the overnight hours, you will be given
the gift of not only Mallard to the third degree
next hour, but also too much or not enough the
Queen of Hearts. That's an hour three. Password the word
Game of the Star is an hour four. And now
back to the Blobbermouth and Bill it's actually just been

(17:06):
it's just.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Blabbermouth. That's not an officially sanctioned nickname.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
The hot Tub time Machine is apparently stuck in traffic,
so we will wait on that.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Also later this hour. The super Bowl, which.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Was played about a little over a month ago there
in Louisiana, and a rather benign event, and that led
to a bunch of federal interaction. A bunch of people
felt like the federal government needs to get involved in
the super Bowl. Will give you the latest on that

(17:41):
as well, and we'll take your calls.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
But the people would like to speak. Who are the people?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
That's a random people that listen to the show, Freddie
writes in he says, if Russell Wilson plays like garbage,
he has a career as a garbage man he is. No, no, no,
I don't think he's qualified. No no, you think he
can do what Danny DeVito does and pick trash up
all night? No, no, no, I don't think so. Late
night drug tester. This is the only way Russell Wilson

(18:08):
gets the last laugh is he ends up being the
fake weed man hippie. During the lame Jokes of the
Week segment, Nature Boy says, why did Rodney Pete keep
calling you Ben Maler? Is that a new name to
add to your long list? Martin Luther Malley, I don't
know why. I don't know why Rodney called me by

(18:28):
the wrong name. No idea, and you'd have to ask him.
I just I was a bystander man. I just sat there.
I was an innocent bystander. Ozzie was writes In, says
it's the drop bear you have to worry about, not
the koala bear. All right, And so he's now this

(18:49):
is Ozzie knowledge. We can only get this because we're
on in Australia and Ozzie was using the satellite he
hooked up courtesy of Elon Musk. There he's out in
the backwoods of not even the back woods, he's just
out in the desert in that part of Australia.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
There's no water.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
And he says, a drop bear. You ever heard of
a drop bear? I've never heard of it.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
I've heard of a black bear, round bear bear.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
So a fully grown Australian dropper. Well, here's why we
don't know. We're not in Australia.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Makes sense.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
A fully grown Australian drop bear can fit an adult
human's head inside its mouth.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
What Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
According to Ozzie Wah John, drop bears can drop from
heights as high as forty five meters, which allows them
to hit their prey at one hundred and four kilometers
per hour.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Mah, but that that seems like a lot. You know,
we don't do the kilometers here.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Wait, wait, wait, this is the koala bear that can
fit oh, it looks.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
It looks like a koala bear. But it's a drop bear.
It's a fictional creature. Ben, Oh, it's fictional, it says
right here, it's fictional. Did we just get hornswaggled by Ozzie? Was?

Speaker 3 (19:59):
I think we'd y you?

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Schmuck? How dare you? Hello?

Speaker 2 (20:02):
But isn't everything deadly there in Australia? Isn't everything deadly
in Australia?

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Fighters, Yeah, everything, We'll kill you, Tasmanian devils, you little schmuck?
Ozsie was you're you're in time out? Ozzie was?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
How dare you? Eugene writes in from Chicago. He says,
all right, Malor you have to pick one. Who's your quarterback?
Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. I'll go Justin Fields. He sucks, also,
but I'll go Justin Fields. I'll go that direction. Ryan
writes in from San Diego. He says, let Jamis play,

(20:35):
Let Jamis play. Supermarket Steve writes, and he says, I
kind of like Aaron Rodgers to the forty nine ers.
The Niners draft are running back to replace Christian McCaffrey
this year, and a quarterback to replaced Rogers. Next year
and when the quarterback class is much better. That's that's

(20:56):
not happening. That's uh, of course I say that's not happening.
And you crazy things like Luca being traded to the
We're not traded given to the Lakers. Well, this portion
of the show made possible by Tractor Supply. Tractor Supply
knows that a winning season takes practice, teamwork, and a
can new attitude. Now, thankfully, when you have a neighbor

(21:18):
like Tractor Supply, teamwork comes easy. Whether you're caring for
patch chickens or a few acres, our team members will
help you succeed season after season. Tractor Supply for life
out here. Let's go to John, who's in Seattle. Hello, John, welcome, Hey.

there're oh we can't pay you more money. There's veter
CRUs out there, tell them to talk to us and
we can go evaluate and we can't assess who's the best.

Think Russell Wilsons should just shut up, sit.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Down, and should he shut up and dribble that's somebody else,
dribod else.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
You know.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
I want him to just shut up?

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yes, he should have shut up a steeler.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
He should have stayed out of the steeler, been in
the backup. Funny you want to leave methings. I think
it's why. I think it was a shut up. They

Speaker 4 (24:05):
I want to say something else.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Oh here, well here we go. Yes.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Uh these college coaches, this ex college coach that he's saying,
oh this this better us when a coach in n
IL and I'm like, yo, bro, that's because it's finally
a fair playing field.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
And it's not a fair I mean, it's still messed up,
it's just messed up in a different way.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
But yeah, but that's no reason clear.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, yeah, but if you just if you do something
one way, over and over again, and then they change it.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
I mean, I understand, like, but there's not.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
A reason for all these uh great college coaches for the.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
You know what you are, you your NFL. You're bug
guarding the time here, Jack, you know what you do.
You're buguarding the time is what you're doing. You're stealing

Speaker 1 (30:45):
So how about it?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
The Super Bowl about a month and a half ago
in New Orleans, and it turns out that there were
over one hundred men and women who were so taken
aback by the halftime performance in Louisiana, the shores of
the Mighty Mississippi that they contacted the Federal Communications Commission,

(31:11):
the government overlords a broadcasting. They were very upset about
the feud that Kendrick Maherr had.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
With Drake, and I guess still goes on.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
And also one complaint accused Serena Williams of promoting gang
affiliation during the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah. Yeah, it's very ugly. So TMZ had the story.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
They obtained one hundred and twenty five complaints sent to
the FCC regarding the performance. One complaint claimed that Lamar
used the platform to push a personal vendetta against Drake.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Is that a violation of the law. Is that I
don't think that's illegal, Ben't. I mean, I am not.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
I'm not on the FCCN I try to avoid the
FCC at all costs, But I don't believe that that
is the case. There other complaints said the dance moves
were anti American.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
So okay, you know what they should have done square dancing.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Square dancing, very American square dancing and American dance. Like,
do you think is that you're just making that up?
I feel like you don't know that. I feel like
you're making that up. There was a split American flag
at one point during the show. This upsets some people
that this was a you can't do that, as a no, no,
I can't do it. So there were one hundred and

(32:38):
thirty three million people that are estimated to watch the
halftime show, is historic viewership, and out of those one
hundred thirty three and a half million people, one hundred
and twenty five people complain.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
So isn't that within the.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Margin of error if you take one hundred and thirty
something million people only to get a certain amount of
And now here's what I do at halftime.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I eat. I don't watch the half time. I've never
watched the halftime show. I never I've never been a
halftime show guy. Maybe I'll see a clip online after
it's done. But I'm not.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
I'm halftime short as it is. It's a little longer
for the super Bowl. But I'm out. I'm doing something else,
