Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numb bur as we
do the high jump, the audio version of the high Jump.
Here it's the Ben Maler Show podcast all night, the
original recume pod. Happy Wednesday. It's hump Day, the second
day of the month of October. Halloween just twenty nine
(00:23):
days away. So here in hour number one, it is
the Hour of Davante Adams. How should the Raiders handle
the DeVante Adams public trade request? Also what is the
dream scenario for the Raiders? And look at the other
side for Davante Adams. Where does he want to go?
How much does Davonte have left in the tank? Will
(00:43):
break it all down, We'll slice and dice it and
put it all together in a nice doggie bag. You
can listen on demand right now here. It is our
number one No more Adam's Family for you. Well, maybe
(01:12):
wel come in. Not be getting of another hour of
the Ben Maler Showing another edition as we are in
the air everywhere with fresh thoughts as we talk around
the curvature of space time, coast, duck coast, border, the
(01:32):
border and beyond. On the mast and super eminently powerful
microphones of fs are amminating live from the market, the
flea market of wheeling and dealing. We're broadcasting live from
the tirect dot com studios. Tirect dot com will help
(01:53):
you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire
iraq dot com the way tire buying should be. I
know Double Ow Mexican in San Diego, and our friend
the Warrior Raider, Tom Brady, roast fan there, all of
(02:15):
them very excited. Ten thousand times they thought about this
big trade rumor in the NFL. Now, I want to
clarify we're going to start with the NFL, but I
am open for business when it comes to talking about
the baseball playoffs. I spent all day on my fat
ass getting hemorrhoids watching the baseball playoffs. So if you
want to talk about any of that, we will discuss
(02:36):
it as we go through the overnight. It's a long
trans continental four hour flight, so we have plenty of
time to get to the baseball. But play the hit,
small man, play the hits, all right, We'll play the hits.
Calm down, so big name star player guy, you've heard of,
high profile team demanding a job transfer those are the
(02:58):
ingredients to ave average talk radio. Assuming that I don't
f this up. That's above average talk radio, so I
assume you for it by now pay attention. You're listening
to a sports talk radio showed at an odd time,
so you probably do pay attention, but perhaps not. So
we learned that DeVante Adams so offended so aghast by
(03:21):
his coach liking a post that said he might have
played his last game in Vegas. Davante Adams would like
to exit stage right or for that matter, stage left,
but he wants out. So Adams, we are told, has
informed Raiders that he prefers a trade. Hit the road jack, Yeah,
(03:43):
So let the games begin, and there are all kinds
of content creators who are throwing stuff against the wall
hoping it sticks. Now Adam Schefter, at one point part
of the Fox Sports Radio Association, now part of the
Lump Association. But Adam Scheffer tells us that the Raiders
(04:03):
are asking teams for a second round pick. I want
a second round pick and additional compensation for DeVante Adams.
So let us discuss how should the Raiders handle the
DeVante Adams public trade request. So I've got Nicholas cage, cattle, rattle,
(04:28):
and Einstein and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a one armed
bandit the old slot machine. So from the Raiders' side
of things, this storyline has been moving this direction at
(04:49):
a snail space, very reminiscent of the Jim Harbaughs, going
back to the NFL storyline, which I preached from the
bully pulpit for years, and I had Michigan fan saying
he's never going back to the NFL, never going back
to the NFL, never going back to the NFL, and
all along he wanted to go to the NFL, did't
want to stay at Michigan as long as he stayed
(05:09):
at Michigan, but people didn't believe me. Emel. Now he's
back in the NFL, and I've been hearing for the
last two years that DeVante Adams did not want to
be with the Raiders anymore. He wanted out of there.
And you keep hearing it over and over, and typically
there's something there, all right, Typically there's something there. You know,
you find those bees, you're gonna find some honey. You'll
(05:31):
find a little bit of honey. And so it's been
heading that direction. But DeVante Adams was a square peg
in a round hole with the Raiders. The only reason
he went to forget all the Disney type movie bull
crap about how he wanted to be reunited with mister Carr,
Derek Carr's teammate. It was not about that. He wanted
(05:51):
to get out of Green Band and he wanted to
get paid. The packers didn't want to pay him. The
Raiders were willing to meet the bounty, and so he's like,
I'll go to the Raiders, and so they sold this
bull crap romance story about he and his college buddy
Derek Carr. But that was not what it was about
at all. It was not about that. It was about
the money. And if Jacksonville had paid him the money,
(06:12):
he would have said, I always wanted to be in Jacksonville,
lived near Angry Bill. But now that all that's long
gone and Derek Carr is hanging out in the bayou,
we turned the page and DeVante Adams is now starring
in a remake as Nicholas Cage leaving Las Vegas. I
do not believe any prostitutes are involved in this, though
(06:34):
it's not a bad situation for Vegas. Though, get to
the point, please, it's not in terms of how the
Raiders have to handle this. Some eagle eyed observers believe
that Adams has started to check out and that he
could have played against the Cleveland Browns, that he's melking
the injury, numb to the situation. But by the time
(06:58):
the Raiders are going to contend, we might all be dead.
But assuming they actually figured this out in the next
couple of years and are competing for playoff bursts consistently,
and I can still make the playoffs. This year is
a wildcard team. Call me crazy, but in general they're
not a Super Bowl contender this year. But if they
become a big time player by that point, DeVante Adams
(07:21):
will be passed his use by date. He turns thirty
two on Christmas Eve. Now, in the real world, thirty
two is very young, but in the sports world, close
to the end of your prime, right at the very
end of your prime. Now, Devonte Adams did do some
media because why not, And I'll give you a little
taste of what he said here. I believe this is
(07:43):
from the up In Adams Show. I don't know what
that is, but apparently that's a thing Anyway, here's DeVante
Adams and he was asked whether or not he will
ever hear the question to answer whether or not he'll
ever put on that uniform in Vegas again.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
But a lot of.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
People think you're you may never play another down as
a Raider.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
What would you say that all.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I can control is this this talk we're having right here,
and then after we're done with this, all I can
control is the next thing that I'm wanting. So I'm
gonna get up in a minute and go get a
nice workout in and that's all I can control.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
That is a if I have my way, I ain't
walking on the field again for the Raiders. All right,
here's one more from Adams and he talks about the
drama orama. It's like a Vegas show there with him.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Honestly, it's hard to comment on and I'm sure you
would you would imagine as such, but it's it's one
of those situations where I just keep my head down
and keep doing my thing and uh, you know, let
the let the ships fall what they make is as
it pertains to that, But I haven't. There's been no
company communication with anybody from the team since since that
(08:55):
became a thing. But you know, it's kind of just
like the weeklygue gets up with take thing. You know,
there's always some sort of drama, but at the end
of the day, one seven doesn't create any of it.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
So people can say what they want.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
But I'm just chilling, trying to be the model for
you know, not stirring the pot and just just locking
in and doing.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
What I gotta do. I see.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
He was referencing the coach of the Raiders, Tonio Peers,
who liked from his own verified account for Reasons beyond Belief,
comment that DeVante played his last game or might have
played his last snap with the Raiders. All right, so
what is this? Let's get back to the point. What
is the dream scenario? But there's a lot of cliches.
Wasn't there a lot of cliches in that we might
(09:35):
have to bring back the cliche bell. There was a
lot of cliches. Anyway, what is the dream scenario for
the Raiders the mid season? I call it the cattle rattle?
You bring in like every Hollywood movie, you bring in
that auctioneer for the Sweet Stakes, unsolicited device for the
Silver and Black, and I have no skin in the
(09:55):
game here, but in order to maximize the payoff, you
pay out a little bit of the money. There's ways
you can finagle the salary cap to cover more of
the cost. But then you also, in addition, have to
turn a blind eye to rivalry and bad blood for
the greater good, even if that means doing the unthinkable,
(10:16):
the unimaginable short term pain for long term gain, and
that would include negotiating a trade with Cansau City and
la as in the Chargers. The goal here is to
get as many teams bidding against each other, and the
obvious ones the Jets, the Bills, the Steelers, but you
(10:40):
have to include the Chiefs, the Chargers, the Ravens, the Saints,
all of them. It should be a seller's market. Now.
People have pointed out that a similar trade took place
in the offseason. Buffalo unloaded a malcontent wide receiver, Stefawn Diggs,
and they didn't get hardly any of return. There was
a fifth round pick is what they got from the Texans.
(11:01):
They pretty much just gave him away. But mid season
there is a shortage of goods available on the market EIGE,
and that results in pricing power to the team that
is willing to trade one of their players. So in
this cartoon bubble in my head, the auctioneer hits the
gavel to begin the Festiviti's like, next up, ladies and gentlemen.
(11:23):
This is lovely and talented pass catcher Devontae Adams, who
can be yours if the price is are excellent condition,
last year of his prime. Let's start the bidding. Shall
I start the bidding? A second round pick? Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Do I hear a second and a third? All right?
Yes you, thank you? Good sir? There will you give
me more? How about a pair of second round picks?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Pair of second round picks going once? A pair of
second round picks for the man in that arrowhead hat. Wait,
do I hear a first round pick? A first round pick?
It is now a first round pick and a conditional
fourth round pick from the man with the green ribbon
on his jacket first, and a conditional fourth round pick
going once, going twice. So boom. That's how it would
(12:03):
sound if I was an auctioneer training Davonta Adams. Now
the last word here from Davante's perspective, how much does
he have left in the tank? Well, it depends on
which side of the isle you're on. Davante and his
age ils say, oh, he's great, thirty two coming up
here in December. But Adams is he's doing this high
wire act. He's been productive, and the age demons are
(12:24):
lurking and all that. But you put him back together,
you put him back together with Aaron Rodgers, and it's
like peanut butter and jelly all over again. Right for
the Raiders, it's better to get rid of him now
year two early rather than a year or two late,
especially especially a guy who is he on that list
of players that made a business decision which Antonio Pierce
(12:45):
talked about. And yet it was Einstein who taught us
the one day I paid attention when I was in school.
It's all relative. From the other side, it's all relative.
And so all you have to do again is match up,
play the game. Davante Adams on a team that's all
horny to win Lombardi and think this is the year
to do with the Chiefs Kansasy if they're DeVante Adams
(13:09):
away from three in a row and in the modern ear,
that's never happened, right, they can already trump what the
Patriots did by winning three in a row, and that's
the missing jigsaw puzzle piece. You're telling me you wouldn't
trade a first round pick and a future third round
pick to get Davonte Adams for ten games of this year,
whatever it ends up being. But you look. Aj Brown
(13:31):
went to Philly Christian McCaffery with the forty nine ers playmakers.
Their teams got to the Super Bowl. Odell Beckham pushed
the Rams to the super Bowl. They won. He got
hurt in that game. So we are in the era
where that one playmaker pushes you over the edge. We're
at that part of the NFL cycle. It is the
(13:51):
Ben Malor Show of You like to comment on any
of this, or more than welcome to join us. There
are lines opens. The baseball is open to conversation. But
don't be boring. I mean a lot of the baseball
calls are so fricking boring. I mean, try to be
somewhat interesting. If you gotta call up and talk baseball.
I don't want to bang my head against the wall
till the bleeds talking baseball, but I would like to
(14:13):
talk baseball in a somewhat compelling and entertaining way. But
the Davonte Adams story, the big story. Also, as we
take your calls and comments on X at Ben Mahler,
is it true that one of the NFL's worst franchises
is preparing a bid to acquire DeVante Adams say in
(14:38):
eight So what is that all about? We will get
to the bottom of it and we will do it next.

of The Ben Mahler Show is lorrain Ah who, By
the way, we'll be answering your questions, but you got
(15:42):
to be with us all the way into our three. Hecky,
the amount of TSL that we would get from you
if you listen between now and an hour three would
be amaze. That would be awesome and really piss off
our bosses, just like when you download the podcast and
they get annoyed. Would beat some of those daytime shows.
I understand he's all over the war. People don't out
(16:05):
of his podcasts. I like, yeah, they get really pissed
off at that, but they'd love the TSL thing. Would
be great. So Loraina in hour three The Queen of
Hearts with Loraina, and we're still waiting for the first
prison letter, Lorena. Every woman I've worked with at Fox
Sports Radio over the year has been a few of them.
(16:26):
They've all gotten a lot of prison mail. I used
to get a lot of prison mail with this guy
six Pack in Florida. Uh he's got a lifetime membership. Yeah, lifeeshot,
lifetime membership at the prison Great Bar Hotel. It's an
all inclusive resort. You can go in, but you can
never leave. And uh, yeah, he's got a life time.
He used to send his mail a lot. But there
(16:48):
have been other fellas in prison. We've had guys call up.
We had a few people call up right after they
get out of jail, like the first call I've heard.
We're very popular in the prisons in Massachusetts, in parts
of the south of Virginia, also well Oklahoma, which is
in the south. But yeah, we do very well in
the prison. I don't think we get credit for that,
(17:10):
but we still all we needs one one prison letter
for the RAINDA. But you did get mailed the other day, Lorena.
I did a massive bounty, a big old box, giant
box of good.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
You see the box, Eddie, I do what was in
the box?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
In the what's in the box? Well?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Can I?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Can I tell who the listener was?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Yeah, that's usually what you do when someone.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Sends you all right, you want them to send other stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Shout out to King Wonk.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
King Wonki with his game.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I don't even think I looked him up on Twitter.
I didn't find him, but I know he exists, so
thank you. He sent me T shirts. I got Queen
of Heart T shirts, and I got necklaces and earrings
that are based off of things that we've talked about
on the show, like pickle chips and cinnamon Rod.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Those pickled earrings are disgusting.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
They are so cute.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
And drumsticks, peber and jelly ones. I like them.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, those are cute. And guess what they did not
mix them together, no, said okay. And then a whole
box of like protein snacks, so cheese, puffballs and brownies
and all sorts of goodies.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Very cool, Yes, thank you, awesome? All right, So and
that's all for you, nothing Ross.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I brought it for everyone if they want to try
some snacks. You're not here tonight, Ben, and I.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I am here.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I'm talking right now, but I can't see your face well, Fay,
because normally those boxes in front of me when i'm
that's true, there's no boxes in front of me right now.
I also want to remember. I want to mention David,
the fry daddy who sent us that massive box of
jelly the other day, and he sent t shirts and stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Oh my gosh, I've been snacking on the jellies in
my car.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Is that bad?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yes, that would be.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Oh, you are weird.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
It's a good sugar, Caig. That's quite troubling. Yeah. So
he explained to me that David's like a truck driver.
I believe he's just the truck around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He's
all over Harrisburg and pensyl Central Pennsylvania. And there's a
gas station there where he fuels up his trucks. He
stops by and he gets coffee and he plays the lottery.
(19:21):
You know, they got all the other usual stuff you
got at the gas station. And his buddies, Uh, he says,
my buddies plays and a VP Racing sponsored him and
they make racing fuel and all this. So he sent
those t shirts and he also included a bobblehead in here,
and so it looks like a pretty cool like little
(19:45):
gas station there in Pennsylvania. So I'll have to next
time I'm in central Pennsylvania, I'll have to stop by
the VP Racing gas station thing there. So yeah, there
you go. He sent all that stuff the other day.
And he best listeners, Well, I think better than the best,
because best means is good to all the rest. So
I think we have the listeners that go above and beyond.
I don't see boxes of crap for the daytime shows.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
They all said that to me today too, Have you
ever gotten anything?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Take care of us here? They feel pity of the
hours that we worked the Bill's monster rights in. As
we get to the meat of the matter, he says,
these Major League Baseball wildcard games are awesome. Have a
opening weekend of March madness fuel to them. It's Derek
and Buffalo. Yeah, it wasn't a bad day football, It
was not a bad day. I would have liked more
(20:32):
lead changes. The only game I think we had a
lead change in was the Brewers and the Mets. The
Brewers jumped out early and the Mets came back, storm back,
and then that was it. But every other game, the
team that scored first one and I don't think he
ever trailed. If they won the Mets, they won the game.
It's the Brewers that suck. A slim Tim wrights In says,
(20:53):
the Brewers lost to the hapless Mats. At least I'm
too stone to feel anything. They will respond, Yes, they
will respond, and they report to the Cactus League in March. Now,
Matt the Warrior Raider fan, he's always in denial on
all these really good stories. He does not like to
acknowledge good stories. For example, he says, I'm not listening
(21:15):
to this gossip column crap. Davante Adams will be on
the field Sunday in Denver. Well, he might be on
the field, but he will be watching, walking back and forth,
watching from the sidelines. Greatest Davante Adams moment as a
raider if he doesn't play another game as a raider,
I would say when he shoved the guy running off
(21:38):
the field that Arrowhead Stadium, Remember that? Yeah, that would
be the greatest DeVante Adams moment as a raider? Am
I wrong? Is there something better? Pro Zack Perry? You
know it's a good night on the show when we're
getting messages from Prozack Perry. Yeah, he writes in he says,
representing Big Farmer for years. He says, Devonte Adams will
go to the Jets where he's him and Aaron Rodgers
(22:00):
will win the Super Bowl. Bookmark this? Yeah? Do I
need to bookmark that? Yeah? I can goof on you.
Bookmark it and then I'll goof I'll goof on you
when it doesn't happen. How about that? Eugene in Chicago says,
who will the next wide receiver be to join the
Kansas City Chiefs? Who? So, who would be the most
(22:24):
exciting would be Tyreek Kill. That would be the most exciting,
the most realistic would be DeAndre Hopkins in the middle
of the road, older wide Receiver or Amari Cooper like
one of those guys. But the one that I would
like would be Tyreek Kill and if I thought there was.
(22:45):
Even though I recommend the Raiders do trade with Kansas
City because they could be desperate here, I don't think
they'll actually do that. They will not take my advice,
which is unfortunate. Eloy from Compton writes, and he's a
Chiefs fan, though he says right on point Ben, I
couldn't agree more. The hell with it. Make the trade
by any means necessary, Brett Veach. He points out, who
(23:09):
else do we have page down here? There's people upset
that the show is slanted towards packer and ex packers,
but we just talk about the news of the day.
King Rory writes in he says, as a packer fan,
the Packers were willing to pay Adams. He didn't want
to stay in Green Bay, but do you blame him?
(23:32):
He was homesick. He wanted his grandma to see him
play in person, so he said yes, yeah, he said,
Yet you know those alum from Fresno do wishy washy
things and cannot be trusted. I have first tan experience
on that barbecuing. Len writes in says, ain't it, Ben,
Ain't it always about the money making those business decisions?
(23:54):
And he's waiting for the team to make the business decision. Also,
I think they should auction him him off on the
Ben Maller Show. Good job by you, Barbara Kueing Lenn.
We could trade you know, way that guy that quit
the show because he's a loser. Mark, sound like that?
Auction here? Like that gentle in the back, gentlemen to
(24:19):
back the first two hundred?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I hate two under? How about three hundred and very good? Ben?
Thank you? Milkman, Mike and Colorado just speak gibberish and
then a few numbers. Milkman, Mike and Colorado says, great
opening monologue on the Damonte dilemma. How funny would it
be if he did get traded to the Jets just
to have Rogers get hurt? God make that happen. That
(24:45):
would be so good. Uh Rogers gets hurt and then retires,
Then he'd be knee deep in rebuild country Yet again,
what could be even worse for good old Davante Adams.
There's some rumors here in the over night hours that
the Cleveland Browns are going to make a run for
(25:07):
Davonte Adams. The Cleveland Browns, Uh, yeah, because that's gonna
fix the creepy quarterback. But if you there's no way
the Browns would trade a first round pick for DeVonta Adams. Right,
But the Browns right now they're in that massive gridlock
of the bottleneck of one in three teams. They're right there.
(25:29):
They would have the number five pick based on strength
of schedule. So yeah, the Raiders aren't getting the top
ten pick for Devonte Adams. Why would you even bother?
They already have supposedly a top twenty receiver and Amari
Cooper and Davante Adams. Would they trade DeVonta Adams to
get Would that be part of the trade? They trade
(25:51):
him back to Amari Cooper back to the Raiders. I
don't know about that. Remember him dropping a lot of
passes with the Raiders? Yeah, be sure that.

Some more news from the NFL. Buffalo Bill's ed Rusher
von Miller suspended four games for violent NFL's personal comments
stemming from the incident oh.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
In November of last year. By the way, it was
obviously not remember this year because it's already October and
November would be next month. But that was a year ago.
Remember he was detained. I don't think he was arrested,
but he was detained. There was an incident with his
pregnant girlfriend. He was never charged with a crime, but
the NFL clearly found some dirt on von Miller. So
(27:01):
he's out for a stretch.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
He should have raced a car in traffic, and yeah,
some cars around.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
People that have major injuries. You're playing right now, maybe
get hurt, all right? Anyway, time. You know what it's
time for, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Well, I was promised a couple of fun facts.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, all right, here we go. Fun fact, fun fact?
All right, fun fact number one, as we suck up
to the good people of Kandy, there's Royal Royal's playoff
fever on the fan or affiliate in Kansas City. So
Royal shortstop Bobby Witt Junior, in his first postseason game,
has already matched the career total for postseason RBIs by
(27:39):
Angels outfielder Mike Trout. Congratulations to Bobby wit Jr. He
has matched Mike Trout and threw RBIs in the postseason

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Come on, you know who really enjoyed that? Wow?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Who's that for? Dog fer dogg Fergie whatever his name is.
All right now another fun fact. Here we go, a
bonus funda malor fun fact. As I try, yeah, as
I try to suck up to all of our key listeners,
our key demographics in Minnesota, the Minnesota Vikings this season
(28:14):
have trailed for only three minutes and twenty six seconds
this year. No other team is under twenty seven minutes
of game time trailing, But the Minnesota Bikes with Sam Darnold.
I'm seeing Guss out there less than three and a
half minutes. That's a fun fact. Let's go the phones.
(28:38):
We'll say hello to Andrew who's in Bakersfield and is
blessing us with his wisdom, or at least trying to
hello Andrew.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Benny, Bennie Bennie. My man Davante already has the beads on.
I saw him walking down Bourbon Street. Help me out,
Eddie Fresner.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I wanted to go to the Steelers.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Oh my gosh, you gotta finish the Freds.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
No, okay, yeah, that's unnecessary. We don't need that. They're great.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Well, thank you, and that's for sure why he went
to the Raiders. Come on now, Derek Carr.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yes, it had nothing to do with money at all.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Well, hey, it might have had something to do with.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
It, but all right, all right, is that your take
right there? That's it all you got? One take?
Speaker 7 (29:34):
That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
All right, we'll hang up on you. Thank you. Keep
it short. Brevity is a key. Brevity is a key.
We don't need long windy, very rare on this show
that somebody would yeah, be brief.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I mean just God, just.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Get in and get out. That's it. In and out.
That's what talk radio show is all about. Super Marcus
Steve says, I'm a little disappointed that your first monologue
tonight was not the Houston cheating a holes losing the
Detroit time in Game one. Maybe you're saving it for
our four morning drive on the East Coast. Now I
(30:06):
will get to it. It's not an elimination. I don't
know if you know the supermarket, Steve. It's not single
elimination like the NCAA men's basketball tournament. That's number one,
number two. I can't get the full joy out of
it because the team from Michigan is managed by a
cheater as well. So we'll address what happened, and we
need one more win by the Tigers, one more victory
(30:27):
by the Tigers, and then we'll do a full celebration
dancing on the grave of the cheating astros. We will
take full advantage of that. Let's go back to the
phones and we'll say hello to serf Scratch off the
highways and byways of Arkansas.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
That's not a question. The drop that was play on
this show forever. When I started listening to this show
I want to know what the heck could happen to it?
Because that brought me to listen to this show man,
where's all the white women at? I spent more time
laughing about that when I first heard it, and I'd
go home in the morning and say, where's all the
(31:09):
white women at all over the house? And my two
girls trying to sleep in the house.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
You know, well, what a great to father that is.
But so you know where that where that's from?

Where white women at you sort of had a black
guy to white guy.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, on the billboards when the movie came out. Black guy,
white guy. That's what it said on the billboards when
they were promoting the movie. That's right. Yeah, we got
imagine they tried to make and we always say these
old movies, how funny they were, and they could never
make them today because people are so sensitive. But that
was at the very top of the list of movies
they could not make today. Uh, the Blazing Sign James
(32:56):
Man Howard James, we met Hippie and Mark's you knew
what I got in common? Well, two of them still
call the show. Two of them call the show, and
one of them quit the show.

Those guys are all older than me. What are you
talking about? I should be.
Speaker 8 (33:20):
We've got some good colors through the years, had we been.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Well, we had a lot of bad ones too, So yeah, yeah,
it evens out. It all evens out right. It's a
zero some game talk radio zero some dame search to
ratch off.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
I don't get the ever asked, get my quick dancer
on ask being. I got a question for you, Ben,
What was your mama's And remember your mother because you know,
I know when your mother and dad passed away, what
happened or stuff? Because my dad passed away by the
same time. I think your mother. But what was one
of the names that you never got? Your nicknames? You
have to have all these knicknames for everybody. What was
(33:53):
one of the names that your mother shared with us?
What one that your mother might have called you that
might have irritated you a little bit, but she called
you that name all the time.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Well, my mom, you know, she didn't do the whole
like nickname thing. But when I was in trouble, it
was Benjamin. You know that was She just screamed my
full name. Yeah, that was a sign. I was in
the doghouse, man, I was. It was over for me,
you know my mom said my and my middle name.
Oh my god, it was over. I was in a
world of agony of if that happened. No mention of
(34:23):
the Rams, and I don't blame you because the Rams
are not. I mean, that's a bad loss to the Bears,
and now they got the Packers this weekend, so who knows?
All right, thank you? Moving on from you to flex
or not the flex. The NFL had a decision to make.
They had a deadline on Tuesday at four pm Eastern time,
deadline whether or not the flex out Week six Bengals
(34:47):
versus Giants on Sunday Night Football, and the ruling in
the NFL and NBC have decided no flex. They're gonna
leave the Bengals and the Giants on Sunday night so
they could have moved to another game. We're going to
leave those flexes till later in the year. Pass that
(35:08):
on a time. Now for the who am I game?
We'll go to baseball where the alaram Braves in the
San Diego Podreys took two hours and nine minutes to
play a playoff game. That is the fastest postseason game
since nineteen ninety six the National League Divisional Series when
Greg Maddox opposed me all right, Braves Podrays two hours,
(35:31):
nine minutes. Fastest postseason game since nineteen ninety six NLDS
Game two when Greg Maddox opposed me. Who am I?
The answer? We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

(37:01):
and nine minutes, the fastest postseason game since all the
way back in nineteen ninety six, a generation ago in
the Nation League Divisional Series, when Greg Maddox supposed me,
who am I? That is the question. What is the answer?
And let's see here. Andy from Lionel Lakes in Minnesota says,

Boogeyman is the answer. Who else do you have? Page

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Tim Wakefield financeers but incorrect any of the correct answer,
Ismail Valdez or the Dodgers. I was at that game.
It was at Dodger Stadium, Game two Dodgers. Of course
they lost that game. They lost most playoff games in
those years.
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numb bur as we
do the high jump, the audio version of the high Jump.
Here it's the Ben Maler Show podcast all night, the
original recume pod. Happy Wednesday. It's hump Day, the second
day of the month of October. Halloween just twenty nine
(00:23):
days away. So here in hour number one, it is
the Hour of Davante Adams. How should the Raiders handle
the DeVante Adams public trade request? Also what is the
dream scenario for the Raiders? And look at the other
side for Davante Adams. Where does he want to go?
How much does Davonte have left in the tank? Will
(00:43):
break it all down, We'll slice and dice it and
put it all together in a nice doggie bag. You
can listen on demand right now here. It is our
number one No more Adam's Family for you. Well, maybe
(01:12):
wel come in. Not be getting of another hour of
the Ben Maler Showing another edition as we are in
the air everywhere with fresh thoughts as we talk around
the curvature of space time, coast, duck coast, border, the
(01:32):
border and beyond. On the mast and super eminently powerful
microphones of fs are amminating live from the market, the
flea market of wheeling and dealing. We're broadcasting live from
the tirect dot com studios. Tirect dot com will help
(01:53):
you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire
iraq dot com the way tire buying should be. I
know Double Ow Mexican in San Diego, and our friend
the Warrior Raider, Tom Brady, roast fan there, all of
(02:15):
them very excited. Ten thousand times they thought about this
big trade rumor in the NFL. Now, I want to
clarify we're going to start with the NFL, but I
am open for business when it comes to talking about
the baseball playoffs. I spent all day on my fat
ass getting hemorrhoids watching the baseball playoffs. So if you
want to talk about any of that, we will discuss
(02:36):
it as we go through the overnight. It's a long
trans continental four hour flight, so we have plenty of
time to get to the baseball. But play the hit,
small man, play the hits, all right, We'll play the hits.
Calm down, so big name star player guy, you've heard of,
high profile team demanding a job transfer those are the
(02:58):
ingredients to ave average talk radio. Assuming that I don't
f this up. That's above average talk radio, so I
assume you for it by now pay attention. You're listening
to a sports talk radio showed at an odd time,
so you probably do pay attention, but perhaps not. So
we learned that DeVante Adams so offended so aghast by
(03:21):
his coach liking a post that said he might have
played his last game in Vegas. Davante Adams would like
to exit stage right or for that matter, stage left,
but he wants out. So Adams, we are told, has
informed Raiders that he prefers a trade. Hit the road jack, Yeah,
(03:43):
So let the games begin, and there are all kinds
of content creators who are throwing stuff against the wall
hoping it sticks. Now Adam Schefter, at one point part
of the Fox Sports Radio Association, now part of the
Lump Association. But Adam Scheffer tells us that the Raiders
(04:03):
are asking teams for a second round pick. I want
a second round pick and additional compensation for DeVante Adams.
So let us discuss how should the Raiders handle the
DeVante Adams public trade request. So I've got Nicholas cage, cattle, rattle,
(04:28):
and Einstein and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a one armed
bandit the old slot machine. So from the Raiders' side
of things, this storyline has been moving this direction at
(04:49):
a snail space, very reminiscent of the Jim Harbaughs, going
back to the NFL storyline, which I preached from the
bully pulpit for years, and I had Michigan fan saying
he's never going back to the NFL, never going back
to the NFL, never going back to the NFL, and
all along he wanted to go to the NFL, did't
want to stay at Michigan as long as he stayed
(05:09):
at Michigan, but people didn't believe me. Emel. Now he's
back in the NFL, and I've been hearing for the
last two years that DeVante Adams did not want to
be with the Raiders anymore. He wanted out of there.
And you keep hearing it over and over, and typically
there's something there, all right, Typically there's something there. You know,
you find those bees, you're gonna find some honey. You'll
(05:31):
find a little bit of honey. And so it's been
heading that direction. But DeVante Adams was a square peg
in a round hole with the Raiders. The only reason
he went to forget all the Disney type movie bull
crap about how he wanted to be reunited with mister Carr,
Derek Carr's teammate. It was not about that. He wanted
(05:51):
to get out of Green Band and he wanted to
get paid. The packers didn't want to pay him. The
Raiders were willing to meet the bounty, and so he's like,
I'll go to the Raiders, and so they sold this
bull crap romance story about he and his college buddy
Derek Carr. But that was not what it was about
at all. It was not about that. It was about
the money. And if Jacksonville had paid him the money,
(06:12):
he would have said, I always wanted to be in Jacksonville,
lived near Angry Bill. But now that all that's long
gone and Derek Carr is hanging out in the bayou,
we turned the page and DeVante Adams is now starring
in a remake as Nicholas Cage leaving Las Vegas. I
do not believe any prostitutes are involved in this, though
(06:34):
it's not a bad situation for Vegas. Though, get to
the point, please, it's not in terms of how the
Raiders have to handle this. Some eagle eyed observers believe
that Adams has started to check out and that he
could have played against the Cleveland Browns, that he's melking
the injury, numb to the situation. But by the time
(06:58):
the Raiders are going to contend, we might all be dead.
But assuming they actually figured this out in the next
couple of years and are competing for playoff bursts consistently,
and I can still make the playoffs. This year is
a wildcard team. Call me crazy, but in general they're
not a Super Bowl contender this year. But if they
become a big time player by that point, DeVante Adams
(07:21):
will be passed his use by date. He turns thirty
two on Christmas Eve. Now, in the real world, thirty
two is very young, but in the sports world, close
to the end of your prime, right at the very
end of your prime. Now, Devonte Adams did do some
media because why not, And I'll give you a little
taste of what he said here. I believe this is
(07:43):
from the up In Adams Show. I don't know what
that is, but apparently that's a thing Anyway, here's DeVante
Adams and he was asked whether or not he will
ever hear the question to answer whether or not he'll
ever put on that uniform in Vegas again.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
But a lot of.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
People think you're you may never play another down as
a Raider.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
What would you say that all.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I can control is this this talk we're having right here,
and then after we're done with this, all I can
control is the next thing that I'm wanting. So I'm
gonna get up in a minute and go get a
nice workout in and that's all I can control.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
That is a if I have my way, I ain't
walking on the field again for the Raiders. All right,
here's one more from Adams and he talks about the
drama orama. It's like a Vegas show there with him.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Honestly, it's hard to comment on and I'm sure you
would you would imagine as such, but it's it's one
of those situations where I just keep my head down
and keep doing my thing and uh, you know, let
the let the ships fall what they make is as
it pertains to that, But I haven't. There's been no
company communication with anybody from the team since since that
(08:55):
became a thing. But you know, it's kind of just
like the weeklygue gets up with take thing. You know,
there's always some sort of drama, but at the end
of the day, one seven doesn't create any of it.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
So people can say what they want.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
But I'm just chilling, trying to be the model for
you know, not stirring the pot and just just locking
in and doing.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
What I gotta do. I see.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
He was referencing the coach of the Raiders, Tonio Peers,
who liked from his own verified account for Reasons beyond Belief,
comment that DeVante played his last game or might have
played his last snap with the Raiders. All right, so
what is this? Let's get back to the point. What
is the dream scenario? But there's a lot of cliches.
Wasn't there a lot of cliches in that we might
(09:35):
have to bring back the cliche bell. There was a
lot of cliches. Anyway, what is the dream scenario for
the Raiders the mid season? I call it the cattle rattle?
You bring in like every Hollywood movie, you bring in
that auctioneer for the Sweet Stakes, unsolicited device for the
Silver and Black, and I have no skin in the
(09:55):
game here, but in order to maximize the payoff, you
pay out a little bit of the money. There's ways
you can finagle the salary cap to cover more of
the cost. But then you also, in addition, have to
turn a blind eye to rivalry and bad blood for
the greater good, even if that means doing the unthinkable,
(10:16):
the unimaginable short term pain for long term gain, and
that would include negotiating a trade with Cansau City and
la as in the Chargers. The goal here is to
get as many teams bidding against each other, and the
obvious ones the Jets, the Bills, the Steelers, but you
(10:40):
have to include the Chiefs, the Chargers, the Ravens, the Saints,
all of them. It should be a seller's market. Now.
People have pointed out that a similar trade took place
in the offseason. Buffalo unloaded a malcontent wide receiver, Stefawn Diggs,
and they didn't get hardly any of return. There was
a fifth round pick is what they got from the Texans.
(11:01):
They pretty much just gave him away. But mid season
there is a shortage of goods available on the market EIGE,
and that results in pricing power to the team that
is willing to trade one of their players. So in
this cartoon bubble in my head, the auctioneer hits the
gavel to begin the Festiviti's like, next up, ladies and gentlemen.
(11:23):
This is lovely and talented pass catcher Devontae Adams, who
can be yours if the price is are excellent condition,
last year of his prime. Let's start the bidding. Shall
I start the bidding? A second round pick? Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Do I hear a second and a third? All right?
Yes you, thank you? Good sir? There will you give
me more? How about a pair of second round picks?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Pair of second round picks going once? A pair of
second round picks for the man in that arrowhead hat. Wait,
do I hear a first round pick? A first round pick?
It is now a first round pick and a conditional
fourth round pick from the man with the green ribbon
on his jacket first, and a conditional fourth round pick
going once, going twice. So boom. That's how it would
(12:03):
sound if I was an auctioneer training Davonta Adams. Now
the last word here from Davante's perspective, how much does
he have left in the tank? Well, it depends on
which side of the isle you're on. Davante and his
age ils say, oh, he's great, thirty two coming up
here in December. But Adams is he's doing this high
wire act. He's been productive, and the age demons are
(12:24):
lurking and all that. But you put him back together,
you put him back together with Aaron Rodgers, and it's
like peanut butter and jelly all over again. Right for
the Raiders, it's better to get rid of him now
year two early rather than a year or two late,
especially especially a guy who is he on that list
of players that made a business decision which Antonio Pierce
(12:45):
talked about. And yet it was Einstein who taught us
the one day I paid attention when I was in school.
It's all relative. From the other side, it's all relative.
And so all you have to do again is match up,
play the game. Davante Adams on a team that's all
horny to win Lombardi and think this is the year
to do with the Chiefs Kansasy if they're DeVante Adams
(13:09):
away from three in a row and in the modern ear,
that's never happened, right, they can already trump what the
Patriots did by winning three in a row, and that's
the missing jigsaw puzzle piece. You're telling me you wouldn't
trade a first round pick and a future third round
pick to get Davonte Adams for ten games of this year,
whatever it ends up being. But you look. Aj Brown
(13:31):
went to Philly Christian McCaffery with the forty nine ers playmakers.
Their teams got to the Super Bowl. Odell Beckham pushed
the Rams to the super Bowl. They won. He got
hurt in that game. So we are in the era
where that one playmaker pushes you over the edge. We're
at that part of the NFL cycle. It is the
(13:51):
Ben Malor Show of You like to comment on any
of this, or more than welcome to join us. There
are lines opens. The baseball is open to conversation. But
don't be boring. I mean a lot of the baseball
calls are so fricking boring. I mean, try to be
somewhat interesting. If you gotta call up and talk baseball.
I don't want to bang my head against the wall
till the bleeds talking baseball, but I would like to
(14:13):
talk baseball in a somewhat compelling and entertaining way. But
the Davonte Adams story, the big story. Also, as we
take your calls and comments on X at Ben Mahler,
is it true that one of the NFL's worst franchises
is preparing a bid to acquire DeVante Adams say in
(14:38):
eight So what is that all about? We will get
to the bottom of it and we will do it next.

Sports Radio over the year has been a few of them.
(16:26):
They've all gotten a lot of prison mail. I used
to get a lot of prison mail with this guy
six Pack in Florida. Uh he's got a lifetime membership. Yeah, lifeeshot,
lifetime membership at the prison Great Bar Hotel. It's an
all inclusive resort. You can go in, but you can
never leave. And uh, yeah, he's got a life time.
He used to send his mail a lot. But there
(16:48):
have been other fellas in prison. We've had guys call up.
We had a few people call up right after they
get out of jail, like the first call I've heard.
We're very popular in the prisons in Massachusetts, in parts
of the south of Virginia, also well Oklahoma, which is
in the south. But yeah, we do very well in
the prison. I don't think we get credit for that,
(17:10):
but we still all we needs one one prison letter
for the RAINDA. But you did get mailed the other day, Lorena.
I did a massive bounty, a big old box, giant
box of good.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
You see the box, Eddie, I do what was in
the box?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
In the what's in the box? Well?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Can I?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Can I tell who the listener was?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Yeah, that's usually what you do when someone.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Sends you all right, you want them to send other stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Shout out to King Wonk.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
King Wonki with his game.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I don't even think I looked him up on Twitter.
I didn't find him, but I know he exists, so
thank you. He sent me T shirts. I got Queen
of Heart T shirts, and I got necklaces and earrings
that are based off of things that we've talked about
on the show, like pickle chips and cinnamon Rod.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Those pickled earrings are disgusting.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
They are so cute.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
And drumsticks, peber and jelly ones. I like them.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, those are cute. And guess what they did not
mix them together, no, said okay. And then a whole
box of like protein snacks, so cheese, puffballs and brownies
and all sorts of goodies.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Very cool, Yes, thank you, awesome? All right, So and
that's all for you, nothing Ross.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I brought it for everyone if they want to try
some snacks. You're not here tonight, Ben, and I.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I am here.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I'm talking right now, but I can't see your face well, Fay,
because normally those boxes in front of me when i'm
that's true, there's no boxes in front of me right now.
I also want to remember. I want to mention David,
the fry daddy who sent us that massive box of
jelly the other day, and he sent t shirts and stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Oh my gosh, I've been snacking on the jellies in
my car.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Is that bad?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yes, that would be.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Oh, you are weird.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
It's a good sugar, Caig. That's quite troubling. Yeah. So
he explained to me that David's like a truck driver.
I believe he's just the truck around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He's
all over Harrisburg and pensyl Central Pennsylvania. And there's a
gas station there where he fuels up his trucks. He
stops by and he gets coffee and he plays the lottery.
(19:21):
You know, they got all the other usual stuff you
got at the gas station. And his buddies, Uh, he says,
my buddies plays and a VP Racing sponsored him and
they make racing fuel and all this. So he sent
those t shirts and he also included a bobblehead in here,
and so it looks like a pretty cool like little
(19:45):
gas station there in Pennsylvania. So I'll have to next
time I'm in central Pennsylvania, I'll have to stop by
the VP Racing gas station thing there. So yeah, there
you go. He sent all that stuff the other day.
And he best listeners, Well, I think better than the best,
because best means is good to all the rest. So
I think we have the listeners that go above and beyond.
I don't see boxes of crap for the daytime shows.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
They all said that to me today too, Have you
ever gotten anything?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Take care of us here? They feel pity of the
hours that we worked the Bill's monster rights in. As
we get to the meat of the matter, he says,
these Major League Baseball wildcard games are awesome. Have a
opening weekend of March madness fuel to them. It's Derek
and Buffalo. Yeah, it wasn't a bad day football, It
was not a bad day. I would have liked more
(20:32):
lead changes. The only game I think we had a
lead change in was the Brewers and the Mets. The
Brewers jumped out early and the Mets came back, storm back,
and then that was it. But every other game, the
team that scored first one and I don't think he
ever trailed. If they won the Mets, they won the game.
It's the Brewers that suck. A slim Tim wrights In says,
(20:53):
the Brewers lost to the hapless Mats. At least I'm
too stone to feel anything. They will respond, Yes, they
will respond, and they report to the Cactus League in March. Now,
Matt the Warrior Raider fan, he's always in denial on
all these really good stories. He does not like to
acknowledge good stories. For example, he says, I'm not listening
(21:15):
to this gossip column crap. Davante Adams will be on
the field Sunday in Denver. Well, he might be on
the field, but he will be watching, walking back and forth,
watching from the sidelines. Greatest Davante Adams moment as a
raider if he doesn't play another game as a raider,
I would say when he shoved the guy running off
(21:38):
the field that Arrowhead Stadium, Remember that? Yeah, that would
be the greatest DeVante Adams moment as a raider? Am
I wrong? Is there something better? Pro Zack Perry? You
know it's a good night on the show when we're
getting messages from Prozack Perry. Yeah, he writes in he says,
representing Big Farmer for years. He says, Devonte Adams will
go to the Jets where he's him and Aaron Rodgers
(22:00):
will win the Super Bowl. Bookmark this? Yeah? Do I
need to bookmark that? Yeah? I can goof on you.
Bookmark it and then I'll goof I'll goof on you
when it doesn't happen. How about that? Eugene in Chicago says,
who will the next wide receiver be to join the
Kansas City Chiefs? Who? So, who would be the most
(22:24):
exciting would be Tyreek Kill. That would be the most exciting,
the most realistic would be DeAndre Hopkins in the middle
of the road, older wide Receiver or Amari Cooper like
one of those guys. But the one that I would
like would be Tyreek Kill and if I thought there was.
(22:45):
Even though I recommend the Raiders do trade with Kansas
City because they could be desperate here, I don't think
they'll actually do that. They will not take my advice,
which is unfortunate. Eloy from Compton writes, and he's a
Chiefs fan, though he says right on point Ben, I
couldn't agree more. The hell with it. Make the trade
by any means necessary, Brett Veach. He points out, who
(23:09):
else do we have page down here? There's people upset
that the show is slanted towards packer and ex packers,
but we just talk about the news of the day.
King Rory writes in he says, as a packer fan,
the Packers were willing to pay Adams. He didn't want
to stay in Green Bay, but do you blame him?
(23:32):
He was homesick. He wanted his grandma to see him
play in person, so he said yes, yeah, he said,
Yet you know those alum from Fresno do wishy washy
things and cannot be trusted. I have first tan experience
on that barbecuing. Len writes in says, ain't it, Ben,
Ain't it always about the money making those business decisions?
(23:54):
And he's waiting for the team to make the business decision. Also,
I think they should auction him him off on the
Ben Maller Show. Good job by you, Barbara Kueing Lenn.
We could trade you know, way that guy that quit
the show because he's a loser. Mark, sound like that?
Auction here? Like that gentle in the back, gentlemen to
(24:19):
back the first two hundred?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I hate two under? How about three hundred and very good? Ben?
Thank you? Milkman, Mike and Colorado just speak gibberish and
then a few numbers. Milkman, Mike and Colorado says, great
opening monologue on the Damonte dilemma. How funny would it
be if he did get traded to the Jets just
to have Rogers get hurt? God make that happen. That
(24:45):
would be so good. Uh Rogers gets hurt and then retires,
Then he'd be knee deep in rebuild country Yet again,
what could be even worse for good old Davante Adams.
There's some rumors here in the over night hours that
the Cleveland Browns are going to make a run for
(25:07):
Davonte Adams. The Cleveland Browns, Uh, yeah, because that's gonna
fix the creepy quarterback. But if you there's no way
the Browns would trade a first round pick for DeVonta Adams. Right,
But the Browns right now they're in that massive gridlock
of the bottleneck of one in three teams. They're right there.
(25:29):
They would have the number five pick based on strength
of schedule. So yeah, the Raiders aren't getting the top
ten pick for Devonte Adams. Why would you even bother?
They already have supposedly a top twenty receiver and Amari
Cooper and Davante Adams. Would they trade DeVonta Adams to
get Would that be part of the trade? They trade
(25:51):
him back to Amari Cooper back to the Raiders. I
don't know about that. Remember him dropping a lot of
passes with the Raiders? Yeah, be sure that.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Catch live editions of The Ben Miller Show weekdays at
two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (26:05):

Speaker 6 (26:07):
I'm a woman, hear me Roar WNY playoffs semi final action.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
This season ended Caitlin Clark are girls gone? It's over,
There's no WNBA. That's the only reason to watch was her.
Apparently that's what women are annoying.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Liberty beat the Aces eighty eight eighty four New York
with the two oh series lead Links over the Sun
seventy seven to seventy.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
That series is tied at one apiece.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Some more news from the NFL. Buffalo Bill's ed Rusher
von Miller suspended four games for violent NFL's personal comments
stemming from the incident oh.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
In November of last year. By the way, it was
obviously not remember this year because it's already October and
November would be next month. But that was a year ago.
Remember he was detained. I don't think he was arrested,
but he was detained. There was an incident with his
pregnant girlfriend. He was never charged with a crime, but
the NFL clearly found some dirt on von Miller. So
(27:01):
he's out for a stretch.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
He should have raced a car in traffic, and yeah,
some cars around.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
People that have major injuries. You're playing right now, maybe
get hurt, all right? Anyway, time. You know what it's
time for, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Well, I was promised a couple of fun facts.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, all right, here we go. Fun fact, fun fact?
All right, fun fact number one, as we suck up
to the good people of Kandy, there's Royal Royal's playoff
fever on the fan or affiliate in Kansas City. So
Royal shortstop Bobby Witt Junior, in his first postseason game,
has already matched the career total for postseason RBIs by
(27:39):
Angels outfielder Mike Trout. Congratulations to Bobby wit Jr. He
has matched Mike Trout and threw RBIs in the postseason
each have one? Is that not a great fun fact? Daddie?
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Come on, you know who really enjoyed that? Wow?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Who's that for? Dog fer dogg Fergie whatever his name is.
All right now another fun fact. Here we go, a
bonus funda malor fun fact. As I try, yeah, as
I try to suck up to all of our key listeners,
our key demographics in Minnesota, the Minnesota Vikings this season
(28:14):
have trailed for only three minutes and twenty six seconds
this year. No other team is under twenty seven minutes
of game time trailing, But the Minnesota Bikes with Sam Darnold.
I'm seeing Guss out there less than three and a
half minutes. That's a fun fact. Let's go the phones.
(28:38):
We'll say hello to Andrew who's in Bakersfield and is
blessing us with his wisdom, or at least trying to
hello Andrew.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Benny, Bennie Bennie. My man Davante already has the beads on.
I saw him walking down Bourbon Street. Help me out,
Eddie Fresner.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I wanted to go to the Steelers.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Oh my gosh, you gotta finish the Freds.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
No, okay, yeah, that's unnecessary. We don't need that. They're great.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Well, thank you, and that's for sure why he went
to the Raiders. Come on now, Derek Carr.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yes, it had nothing to do with money at all.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Well, hey, it might have had something to do with.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
It, but all right, all right, is that your take
right there? That's it all you got? One take?
Speaker 7 (29:34):
That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
All right, we'll hang up on you. Thank you. Keep
it short. Brevity is a key. Brevity is a key.
We don't need long windy, very rare on this show
that somebody would yeah, be brief.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I mean just God, just.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Get in and get out. That's it. In and out.
That's what talk radio show is all about. Super Marcus
Steve says, I'm a little disappointed that your first monologue
tonight was not the Houston cheating a holes losing the
Detroit time in Game one. Maybe you're saving it for
our four morning drive on the East Coast. Now I
(30:06):
will get to it. It's not an elimination. I don't
know if you know the supermarket, Steve. It's not single
elimination like the NCAA men's basketball tournament. That's number one,
number two. I can't get the full joy out of
it because the team from Michigan is managed by a
cheater as well. So we'll address what happened, and we
need one more win by the Tigers, one more victory
(30:27):
by the Tigers, and then we'll do a full celebration
dancing on the grave of the cheating astros. We will
take full advantage of that. Let's go back to the
phones and we'll say hello to serf Scratch off the
highways and byways of Arkansas.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
That's not a question. The drop that was play on
this show forever. When I started listening to this show
I want to know what the heck could happen to it?
Because that brought me to listen to this show man,
where's all the white women at? I spent more time
laughing about that when I first heard it, and I'd
go home in the morning and say, where's all the
(31:09):
white women at all over the house? And my two
girls trying to sleep in the house.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
You know, well, what a great to father that is.
But so you know where that where that's from?

guy to white guy.
Speaker 1 (32:33):

white guy. That's what it said on the billboards when
they were promoting the movie. That's right. Yeah, we got
imagine they tried to make and we always say these
old movies, how funny they were, and they could never
make them today because people are so sensitive. But that
was at the very top of the list of movies
they could not make today. Uh, the Blazing Sign James

What was your mama's And remember your mother because you know,
I know when your mother and dad passed away, what
happened or stuff? Because my dad passed away by the
same time. I think your mother. But what was one
of the names that you never got? Your nicknames? You
have to have all these knicknames for everybody. What was
(33:53):
one of the names that your mother shared with us?
What one that your mother might have called you that
might have irritated you a little bit, but she called
you that name all the time.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Well, my mom, you know, she didn't do the whole
like nickname thing. But when I was in trouble, it
was Benjamin. You know that was She just screamed my
full name. Yeah, that was a sign. I was in
the doghouse, man, I was. It was over for me,

Oh my god, it was over. I was in a
world of agony of if that happened. No mention of

are not. I mean, that's a bad loss to the Bears,
and now they got the Packers this weekend, so who knows?
All right, thank you? Moving on from you to flex

They had a deadline on Tuesday at four pm Eastern time,
deadline whether or not the flex out Week six Bengals

the NFL and NBC have decided no flex. They're gonna

leave those flexes till later in the year. Pass that
(35:08):
on a time. Now for the who am I game?
