Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, It's our nightber one, and the sun will come
up tomorrow tomorrow, which is today. It is the sixth
day of November. Happy Wednesday. A retrospective here in our
number one on the original Recipe podcast about.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
The trade deadline?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
How would you rate the twenty twenty four NFL swap
Meet mid season swap Meet? Also who are the winners
of the trade deadline? And which team's flopped came up
with nothing.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Of note at the trade deadline.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
We'll talk about all that and more make way for
our number one.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Rat what deal?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Welcome and not be getting of another night of the
bag malor shall we are in the air very where
you united as we are deliciously different, coast to coast,
border the border and beyond, open all night on the

(01:06):
vast and enormously powerful Mike raphones of FSR and modnating
live from the edge, the Mathematical House Edge. We are
broadcasting live from the tire ract dot com studios.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Tyraq dot com will.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Help you get Darren unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. I
know Justin in Cincinnati, for some reason was smiling ten
thousand times.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Tyrack dot com the way tire buying.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Showb So our lead this hour is from the battleground,
those key swing states that will help decide who wins the.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Swap meet of football, better known as the trade deadline.
Assume you were paying attention and there's nothing else going
on no on Tuesday anyway, perhaps not, perhaps.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
You were distracted by other events.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
But the game of musical Chairs ended for the regular season.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
The music stopped.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
The twenty twenty four NFL trade deadline has passed. Happened
at four pm Eastern Time on Tuesday afternoon. We saw
all together. They did the math on this. There were
eighteen moves that were made, and we have the good,
the bad, and the ly. All right, so let us

(02:32):
discuss the question for the esteemed panel, how would you
rate the experience of the twenty twenty four NFL trade deadline?
So I have orange juice, rubber stamped and jim nance,
and we will put all of these things together and
we are going to gnaw away, is what we're going
to do.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Okay, We're gonna gnaw away at the nighttime hours. So a.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Nobody, nobody, I they know who got traded is a
household name. Right, there's no aura points by anybody here.
You have mostly roster spam.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Hard.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh. Football people will tell you there are several players
that relocated that are a big deal, but the players
that were traded were mostly traded for lower level scratcher tickets.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Right. So, as we like to say here, we do
not do narrow casting. We do broadcasting.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
So we tried to talk about people that the vast
majority know about.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
If you look at the logistics, this.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Has been an age old problem in the NFL, and
it is so far behind, so far behind the other
trade deadlines in baseball and basketball and in hockey, that
everyone is so paranoid about getting burned. No, that's true
in other sports as well, but as a result in
football plus, there's this old school mantra that it's impossible

(03:59):
to just throw a player.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
In and have them succeed.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I mean, like DeAndre Hopkins really has been terrible for
Kansas City, for example, who was traded not that long ago.
But as a result of the logistics, we have major
supply chain issues like I did not see soybeans, pork
bellies or frozen concentrated orange juice repackaged by anybody the

(04:24):
commodities of the NFL that were lacking the panache at
the trade deadline? Now where is the juice? Well, Ojy's dead,
But where is the juice.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
At the trade deadline? So who are the winners? Page two?
Who are the.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Winners of the NFL trade deadline? Because I want winners.
I want teams that want to win. So, as I've
laid out for you already, Benny Buzzkill, we lacked the Rasthmataz. However,
on my scorecard, here's how I judged it. I gave
the win to the Lions, the Commanders, and the Steelers.

(05:00):
All of them get an A on the Malord report card.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
And here's why.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
The front office, the nerds in the front office, what
they did is they rubber stamped these teams as legit teams.
All right, this is a test. Hey, do you think
we're actually that good? And if you do, then you
have to go and make moves. Now, Kansas City already
made most of their you know, they made their moves
prior to the last minute. But other teams that made

(05:27):
moves the last minute. I'm going with the Lions, the Commanders,
and the Steelers because they brought in reinforcements and Detroit.
For example, they added someone who's not a household names,
Zadarius Smith, but he's a pass rusher from the Browns.
They didn't give up anything, which tells you the guy's
probably not that good, but he's certainly not Aiden Hutchinson. However,

(05:48):
this season, Zadarias Smith seven quarterback hits on the season.
If you look at the numbers, five sacks. No active
Detroit lion has more than two and a half sacks,
so he's got double what they've got on the active
roster in Motown. And then the team formerly known as
the Redskins added a player that you'd say is a

(06:12):
household name, but he's a defensive back. And other than
Dion Sanders, there's nobody that you that was years ago.
There's nobody in the household name, but a cornerback from
the New Orleans football team, Marshawn Lattimore.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Heads to the DMV. There he'll be hanging out and
having a fine time.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Now, the Saints picked up a lot, I guess if
you like draft picks, a third round pick, a fourth
round pick, and a sixth round pick.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
There were some other picks.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Included, but that is a tremendous endorsement that Washington looks around.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
They say, well, the Cowboys they suck.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
The Giants as always, are terrible, and Philadelphia is beatable.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
So the division is right there for Washington.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
And they needed help even though statistically they've been pretty
good in the secondary.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
They had Latimore. Now the Steelers, they made.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
A couple of trades. Mike Williams, who's good until he
gets hurt. He wasn't good with the Jets, but he
came over from the Jets for a fifth round pick.
And also a trade with Green Bay for Preston Smith,
who's a not a name you know of, not a
name you know of, but a guy that has been okay.

(07:23):
And the Steelers just need okay, they've got stars on defense,
they just need to plug in, okay around those stars. Now,
last word here, The better story is in the losing
teams locker room, the teams that flop. So which teams
did the old flopperoo at the trade deadline? I'm glad
you asked, so the way I broke it down, the

(07:46):
Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
The Dallas Cowboys, Oh but what did they do? What
are you doing? The Ravens and the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
All of them are on the knotty list at the
trade down, and there's others, but those of the three
we're gonna focus in on now. Jerry Jones yet again
weaved his magic. At the trade deadline, the Cowboys made
a trade. They said they weren't, then they said they were,
and then people said they weren't.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Then they made a trade.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
So the Cowboys acquired the great Jonathan Mingo from Carolina.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Who never heard of him?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Right?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Jonathan Mingo is the guy's name now the Cowboys. The
reason this is a head scratcher, there's actually there's two reasons,
all right. The first one is Dallas traded a fourth
round pick, which is more than the Chiefs traded to
get DeAndre Hopkins. The second reason that you question the
sanity of Jerry Jones and the Cowboys is they acquired

(08:47):
a guy who was not a starter on the worst roster.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
In the NFL Carolina. You see, Jonathan Mingo wasn't good
enough to start for.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
The Panthers, but he's worth a fourth round pick to
the Alas Cowboys, who goofed, I've got to know.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
And then we had the Ravens on the n Ottilus.
Now the reason they didn't make a big move. But
they made a move, and here's why.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
All right, about an hour before the trade deadline came
to an end, my phone starts blowing up. And it
was a trade my Rams, l I am said bye
bye to a Tradavious White, who you probably might know
if you're a football hardo from his days in Buffalo
defensive back.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
And the trade was for nothing, pretty much.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Rams just gave Tradavius White away and it was like
a flip of seventh round picks.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
But not even next year, not the year after. It's
twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
And so I end up getting into a spicy debate
with Baltimore's Sports gas bag.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Sports with Coleman, friend of the show and.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Merely pointing out that Tradavius White's probably a really nice guy.
I don't know, I'll probably never meet him. But White
these stories they were over the top. They were billing
him as a former Pro Bowl defensive back, what in
an addition for the Ravens.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
And I'm like, where's that coming from?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Right? Where is that? He's not that guy? You're not
that guy, Pal, You're not that guy. He is a
Jim Nance type ballplayer at this point burnt toast. Now
to prove that not only does he fail the eyeball test,
he was so bad the Rams said, listen, go find
a trade. You suck, We want to send you somewhere else.
And they found a sucker in the Baltimore Ravens, although

(10:38):
not really a sucker.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
They didn't get anything return.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
So this guy, Trdavius White was in the Rams doghouse.
Out of two hundred and five ranked defensive backs in
the NFL this year, according to the.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Nerds, he ranked one hundred and seventy seven.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
So if you want a defensive back that will not
be able to keep up with the receivers that the
wives severs can blow by, that will misstackles and get
absolutely cooked, this is your guy.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
True, Davius White is your guy.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
And then as we anticipated the Chargers, Jim Harbaugh called
his shot. He realized the Chargers weren't going to do anything,
and they did Bupcus And so despite having suckbag receivers
and questionable defensive backs, the Chargers played a silent night.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
At the trade deadline. Wasn't that nice? They did nothing,
app solutely nothing.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
All right, it is the ben Maler Show, which we
think is something and if you would like to join us,
you are more than welcome. The lines open up. Abra cadabra,
hocus pocus. Nothing else going on other than this eight

turns out all those hashtags are the same.

get to that and we will do it next.

But we just take it one quarter hour at a time.
That's all we do. Later on, all those hashtags are
the same, unless they're not.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Unless they're not. We started with the NFL trade deadline chip.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
And the Ques says a plus on the male of
monologue he points out, which began with the heavy conversation
about said trade deadline.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
He says, So you're saying this guy.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Mingo is the NFL's version of Bronnie James. No, because
I don't know who his dad is. I don't think
his dag plays in the NFL. There's only one Bronnie
James who's only in the NBA because.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Of his pops.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Like, I think this guy earned it. He was a
four star recruit in high school, and and he's from
Southern Fried Football and he played the SEC and Old Miss.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Not that I remember him from Old Miss. I looked
that up.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I'm cheating, but he was back up on the team
in Carolina. That's not a good signs. That's not not
a good sign He did enter the season as a starter,
but he ended up as a backup, which tells you
that he wasn't good enough in the eyes of the coaches,
And yet they were able to get the Cowboys to

(15:28):
send a fourth round pick for this guy. All right,
Christopher legally blind, Christopher says, Wow, the Lions, Steelers, and
Commanders win the election for me. I can turn off
all the voting machines. No, there might be some absentee ballots.
You have to count there, Christopher, I don't know about that,
says I can focus exclusively.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
On the Malor show. There you go. Well, we're here,
We're here for you, So we.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Are spocks Weed writes, and he says, so when is
modern time calling in? No, I think it's I don't
his modern time. Did I get his name right? I'm
fuzzy on that and kind of fuzzy general right now? Anyway,
are we going to hear from him tonight?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I have no idea what we'll see, what the night holds.
I think you're referring to Real Talk, who claimed that
if the election had gone one way, that we would
not ever talk to him again, and if it went
the way it ended up going that he will continue
to call the show, which is good news for those

(16:32):
of us that like spicy hot use the dump button
talk radio.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
That's really really good.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
News because every one of his calls ends with us
having to dump something. It's one hundred percent, one hundred
percent of the time that happens, a right, not ten percent,
not twenty percent, not thirty percent, not forty percent.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
No, it's not Doctor Jekyll, mister Hyde.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
It is one hundred percent, one hundred percent of the time.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yes, that is that is correct. Anyway, all right, we.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Will take some calls here and again if you want
to be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
That's eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixth nine.
Let's go to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth and.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
He's in the leadoff spot. Hello, Andre, what's going on?

Speaker 7 (17:29):
Ben?

Speaker 8 (17:30):
Thanks for the time. Good to be with you this evening.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
That was thanks.

Speaker 8 (17:33):
Guarded off the show talking about some moves that were
made in the NFL, which I like fort lyons going
out there getting themselves some help for the defense. But
I think then that was spurred what happened on Monday
Night Football in the move of Kansas City Chiefs me okay,
paying off in spades early on second game. Hopkins what

(17:55):
eight catches, two touchdowns, almost one hundred yards. Patrick Mahomes
has himself a jump ball wide receiver. So listen. The
teams that are going to be in it to win it,
they're out there making moves, being innovative, give themselves the
extra help for the home stretch. Are the teams that
want to step back and do the soap operas. I
eat the Dallas Cowboys right, all the drama, all of
the consternation, so on, and fourth ending up going where

(18:19):
nowhere fast. They're going to end up either out of
the playoffs during the NFC leaf but still have a
chance to make the playoffs. Are either going to be
out of the playoffs or first round.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well, Andrea, not to touch up your work here, but
from a talk radio perspective, the Dallas Cowboys are absolute
gold boo yon. So I would like to thank them,
no matter how bad big are they continue. I have
a content plate that I pass around and people they
have to give us content, and the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Are really good at giving us content.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
So even though they're bad at football and Jerry Jones
doesn't know what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
He's really good in this area. So I want to
thank Jerry Jones.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
No matter how bad it gets in Dallas, we are
guaranteed of getting content.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
So with that, I'm brief.

Speaker 8 (19:00):
The gift that keeps on giving bets. But no Super
Bowls to be had for the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex.
So hey, like I said, you know, you got to
you gotta be a risk taker, you know. And obviously
it's a political night. It's not going to dive too
deep into the politics. But we're all up late, you
know what I'm trying and saying in terms of the election.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
And hey, I'm up late every night. Man, what are
you talking about? I'm up.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
I'm late all the time. Man, I don't go to
better at least I don't know all.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
These people that are complaining.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Oh it's so late, I say, these idiots on TV news,
Oh it's so I mean, listen, some they don't realize
how many people are working and up at night having insomnia,
working jobs or whatever.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
They're up at night.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
And there's a lot of people that are awake all
night every night that keep America moving.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Otherwise stuff wouldn't get moved.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
From point A to point B and all that and
stuff wouldn't get put on the shelves. And it's like
there's so many these daytime people just don't understand the
night people. And every once in a while they have
to stay up late at night, and this is one
of those nights and they complain, they covetch.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
I mean, it's it's fairly annoying. I thank you, oner.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
I appreciate that the Great Andre from the COMMONWEALTHA. All
those hashtags are the same. Oops, it happened again, the pontiff.
The Pope has promoted an NFL team, not intentionally. He
did not get paid to promote this NFL team, but

(20:23):
just by using a Does anyone think the popes on
his phone sending out.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Messages on social media? No? Right? Can we all agree
that it's some underwing He might be a TikToker?

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Ben think so? You think the Pope's in there checking
out the video, see what's going on?

Speaker 1 (20:40):
You know, what are the kids up to.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
I'm guessing it's some low level person at the Vatican
that's in charge of the social media.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
But oh, I know, I don't know anyway, So the.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Pope or someone representing the Pope gave an unexpected blessing
to an NFL team that would be who else but
the New Orleans Saints. Now, how upsetting must it be
for like the Angels, that they can't even get the
Pope to promote them, but the Saints always get promoted, right,

(21:10):
This is at least the second time that the Pope
has used the New Orleans Saints hashtag on what used
to be called Twitter and so, which is a natural,
natural mistake. You would assume that the term Saints is
just it's for the church, right, that's not for an

(21:31):
NFL team.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
But here we are, and these Saints who certainly need
all the help they can get.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
If you've seen the Saints play, whether it's Pope Francis
divine intervention, boy do they suck.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Even the Pope would agree that they sucked. And so he.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Used the hashtag Saints have lost seven straight after the
two and oh start, and he said these Saints are
precious pearls, although not the New Orleans Saints. There's nothing
precious about the New Orleans Aints at all.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
And then the admin for the NFL team's social.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Media accounts said, thank you for your prayers, Pontiff, we
need them, which is not wrong, not wrong at all.
And then they sent a photo of the Pope getting
jersey from the Saints, the NFL team years ago, and
dose you wonder where all that crap goes? The Pope

(22:25):
gets like, is there a special room with the Vatican
where they's like it's like their storage shed where they
throw all the jerseys in there that he's gotten from
teams and stuff and serious, I mean, he gets so
much stuff that people say they want to get good
good will that must go into a like a storage shed.
Maybe they have a big garage, a really large garage

(22:46):
they put all that stuff in. And let's put that
Saints jersey the near the soccer team from Peru, and
the rugby team from New Zealand, and then there's the
Hangaroos from Australia. Will put them in there as well.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Anyway, it is the Ben Mahlor.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Show as we are warming up, and something missing from
the college experience, something missing.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
From the college experience. We'll get to that.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Also, it is a sellout, it is a complete and
total sellout.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Will go there as well.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
But right now, let's get you caught up on everything
going on in the overnight, and we say hello too.
Games of note to Garcia. It was so tough, Eddie.
I watched hockey, Yeah I did, there was nothing else
to watch.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
We'd like to take the NBA for for getting night parly,
not thinking that people were smart enough to be able
to pull up.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
And you know, we consume sports.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
You want to bet that they don't do this next
year because they the person they wanted to win didn't win.
So if you want to bet they go back to
playing games on election night next year, No, I think they.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
I think they like to feel like they're more important
than they really are.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
But they do get woke points and all that.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
But I watched the I was watching the watch a
little bit of the Kings game. Was scoreless at the
end of the first period, but they kicked the wild ass.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
I know you'll give all the scores.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
And I watched the Bruins game and the Bees did
not show up there.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
They got crushed by the maple leafs.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Then good job, by your, good job by you. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (24:17):

It is the Ben Mahler Show. We're rolling through the
overnight here supermarket. Steve writes in from so Cal. He says, Hey, Ben,
you wasted all your content in the first hour talking
about all the trades in the NFL for the day
unless you are ready to talk hockey. It's looking like
one of those nights back in the COVID time where
you broke down marble racing.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
No, I'm fine.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
There's plenty of things to talk about here, and it's
not like we were going to break down NBA games anyway,
even if they had played NBA games.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
We're going to break it down. And I'm still upset.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
I did not win a Marconi Award for a Mallar
monologue I did during twenty twenty when I broke down
a marble race. I watched on YouTube and I did
a full I did a full fifteen minute Mala monologue
on a marble race, and that was not worthy of
a Marconi award. What does one have to do to
win a Marconi award? I don't understand. It makes no sense. Yeah,

(25:15):
Late Night Drug tester says, I have to admit the
NFL trade rumors are better than what happened. You would
have been better off recapping the NHL slate a league
that didn't take the night offa's it's pretty bad. I
mean the NBA. I'll get to that later. But the
NBA thinks they're fans are idiots. Maybe they are idiots,
I don't know, but they're not capable of watching the product,

(25:37):
going to the product, and voting. I apparently that's that's
too much, my god. Uh not a Burner says, hey, Ben,
have you your Fox Sports alums Doug gottlieb LeVar Arrington
have recorded the same message about ending hate for all
of us?

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Who will punish this blasphemy? I have no idea what
you're talking about, Nutter Burner, I have no I have
no I don't know what you're talking about. Uh, I
don't know what that is. So what am I? What
am I supposed to say?

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Here?

Speaker 2 (26:08):
What am I supposed to say? Mark writes in from Queens.
He says, uh, hey Ben, great hockey name, Hella Buck rocks.
He says, Eddie's wrong.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
That's Mark from Queen's there.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
So Mark from Queen says, you suck Eddie because you
do not believe Hella Buck is a great name.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
There's better hockey names than that.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I didn't say that was the greatest name, Eddie. I said,
it's one of the top names in the NHL.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Well, that's actually saying it's one of the greatest names.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Then it's it is one of the greatest names in
the NFL. Right now it is Hella Buck. Give me
a better name, right now, go ahead?

Speaker 4 (26:40):
How about how about Ivan Ivan?

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Eh? Come on, that sounds like a nineteen eighties band
Ivan Ivan.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yeah, it's weird, very weird.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know what you need, Eddie. You need a fun fact,
and I'm gonna give it to you. Don't think here
we go. You need a fun fact. Fun fact.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Well, here's a fun fact for you idiots love the
NFL draft. Every team in the National Football League still
owns their first round pick for the twenty twenty five
April NFL Draft. The trade deadline has now passed. The
last time that this happened was at the twenty oh
one trade deadline for the twenty twenty two twenty oh

(27:17):
two draft, So you got to go back over twenty years.
Nobody has traded a first round pick for next year's draft.
And it's not like if you look at these mock drafts,
and I look at them every once in a while
because I know that my life will be dedicated to
this crap starting after the super Bowl in mid February
until the Draft in April.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
And I look at these drafts, these mock drafts, and there.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Is no consensus on Big Ben's Big Board or any
of the mocks that.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
I occasionally look at. Patriots would have the number one pick,
by the way right now, but there's no clear cut
number one.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
The quarterbacks are projected to be drafted in the first
ten picks, but not at the very top.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Cam Ward of Miami.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
And Shadera Sanders of Colorado. More on him later on.
Travis Hunter is projected as the number one overall pick,
but he's a wide receiver and a defensive back from Colorado.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
We'll see if that holds. All right, we'll take your calls.
Let's say hello to Keg Drinking Steve. Who's in Missouri?

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Will he be at the mallor meet and greet on Saturday?
Will I meet the legend it is Keg Drinking Steve.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I don't know, Hello Steve.

Speaker 7 (28:30):
One, Peter soph you gotta Sila base celeb one.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Mom, make it stop, Make it stop.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Please, this is a this is a show. It's entertainment.

Speaker 9 (28:52):
At night.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
I hate that song every night. It's a great night.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
It doesn't change my night. I still have to do
the show. Whoever wins, have to do the show.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
But I am.

Speaker 9 (29:01):
Missing You're missing the breaking news tonight.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
What's that? What's the breaking news?

Speaker 9 (29:06):
Stay? Put down a report for Jason Kelseyer this is
this is Fox News breaking news.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (29:14):
On then that show criminal mischief and disorderly conduct for
Jason Kelsey. So the trial, the trial of the century
for for a man smashing smashing an idiot phone? Who
deserved it?

Speaker 7 (29:33):
Thank God is back. It's back on track where we
were the man. The man is in power. The man
is in power.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Keep your pants on, American.

Speaker 7 (29:46):
Elke it enjoy one cod.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Okay, thank you? Oh way, all right, it's gonna be
one of those nights. It's gonna be one of those nights. Yes, Spaccoli,
says Benjamin. It's going on quarter to three? Can we
get the who am I?

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Game?

Speaker 2 (30:14):
He would like the Well, we will get to the
who am I game?

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Momentarily, who who? Who? Follow up? I have not I did.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
See the police are investigating Jason Kelsey. I did not
see there's any charges. I don't know that that actually happened,
but maybe it did.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean, I don't think you're allowed to take someone's
cell phone and slam it down, even if they say
really nasty things. I think it's crazy that people think
they can just go up and say whatever they want
to someone and not have any repercussions. Uh yeah, well
you are. That's the weird thing. You are allowed to
say that pretty much anything, and and I'm allowed to

(30:52):
smack your phone out of your hand.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Well, see that's the weird.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
See you're actually that's not really the way it because
I'll tell you when I was in school and it's
story time on the mallor show.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Are you ready for storytime?

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Story time?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Are you? Are you prepared for this?

Speaker 2 (31:07):
So when I was a kid, and I remember this
because I was in I was in kindergarten and we
did the stickston sixt and stones may break my bones,
but names will never harm me.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Remember that.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
I like that almost as much as I like row
row your boat merrily, merrily, merrily, man our London bridges
falling down like that a lot, you know, Nick, Knack,
Patty Whack.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
That was that was in there. Yeah, it was like.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Sticks and you know, sticks and stones may break my
bones and all that stuff. But you know, I would
like to say that you should be allowed if someone's
an a hole to just grab their phone and slam
it down, But it's not the.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Way it works, unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
It's not like even if they charge and I don't
think they have charged them yet. I'm looking, I don't
see anything. So even if they did charge him, it's.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Not I mean nothing. So anyway, as far as any
real crime, it's a.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Sellout though it is a sellout all of the commercials
the Tom Brady broadcast Super Bowl coming up in Nolan's
coming up later in the conclusion of the twenty twenty
four into twenty twenty five NFL season in February, Well,
Fox has sold out all Super Bowl commercials three months

(32:26):
ahead of the super Bowl. That is a record in
terms of how much they sold the ads for. So
it is the only.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Event that is left that people watch live.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
I very.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
And you should be, Marcel and Brooklyn, you should be.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
But they were bragging about that they've sold the entire
commercial ad inventory for the Super Bowl February ninth. It's
at the Superdome in the Bayou there in Louisiana. Be
Tom Brady's first Super Bowl and record pricing thirty second commercial.
You want to take you a guess how much a

(33:08):
thirty second spot in the Super Bowl went for Loraino?
What do you think you're to take a guess? You're
very good with numbers. I know that I'm going to
guess somewhere around four million dollars. Ben, Oh, that's a
great guess, but way off the correct answer.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Over seven million.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Dollars for thirty seconds. Over seven million dollars for thirty
seconds of time. You can break the math down on that.
It's a lot per second. That is a lot per second.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Let's try to do the math. Let's see seven. Do
the math on this. Can I pull this off? So
seven million.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
And you divide that by thirty So that works out
if my math is correct?

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Here a lot per second? A lot per sec?

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Two hundred thirty three thousand dollars per second?

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Am I correct? On that? Did I do the Malar math? Now?

Speaker 2 (34:06):
I did malarmath, so it's right. Whatever I say. If
I say malarmath, I'm spot on. That's the beauty of Malormath.
I'm never wrong because I'm using Malarmath. I'm not using
your math. I'm using Malarmath.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Time out for the who am I? Game? I have
an average depth hoo me? I have an average depth
of target. I'm a wide receiver.

Speaker 2 (34:23):

point seven yards this season. That is the lowest among
all whiteouts in the NFL. Who am I the answer?
