Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hee, we go, we go, Yes, so welcome. It is

final day of February is upon us. Here it is
last last day the month of February, last podcast of

Now we will have the Fifth Hour podcast. That'll be today,
(00:22):

will have the Big Benny's Preview. We'll take a look
at the Benny Awards and we'll preview what to look
forward to in the greatest night of overnight talk radio,
the Benny Awards, which will be coming up on Sunday
into Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
But we still have to get through here our one dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Raiders are said to be the new front runners for
Matthew Stafford and a trade from the Rams. How much
stock do you put into this? Also, how to the
next seventy two hours go on Matthew Stafford watch and
we'll talk about an NFL spokeshack who said there's no
issue with Matthew Stafford meeting with Tom Brady and the
(01:03):
Raiders as the club gave permission that would be the Rams.
And what is your takeaway from this. We'll get to
all of that and more right now here. It is
our number one a plot twist to the NFL drama
(01:24):
O rama. Welcome in them be dtting of yet another
night of the Ben Malors Show. We are in the
air everywhere as we shoot the breeze and we handle
the global hot take marketplace coast to coast, border, the

ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Tire rack dot Com the Way Tire Buying Show. So
I lead this hour. I'm obsessed. I admit it. I'm
not gonna lie. There's no need to lie. Why would
you lie.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I am obsessed with all the juicy gossip around the
football world here as we have an entire week that
is designed for the silly season of the NFL, and
I'm in, I'm in, I'm all about it.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So I thought we would lead.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
This hour by hopping on the Merry go round, round
and round and round and round the quarterback Mary go round.
So it's time for our obligatory malle monologue on the
future of Matthew Slamford. I know you're dying to know
now if you have not heard the latest, possibly not.
There is said to be optimism that Matthew Stafford will
(03:19):
be ending up in a city that isn't Los Angeles.
We have learned there is said to be a new
front runner for Matthew Stafford. No Raiders, that's right, the Raiders,
Sin City. I love the reporting on this. The reporting
is that Matthew Stafford's camp and the Raiders have found
(03:41):
common ground on a new contract and how that would
be structured. And little birdies that love slot machines and
roulette tables and resort fees and twenty five dollars parking
per day in Vegas say that the Raiders, now they've
already worked out the outline, if you were, the blueprint
(04:03):
of what a contract would look like. And now they're
at the negotiation stage with the Rams. They have to
come up with a compensation package with the l A Rams,
and then they get Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So let us discuss that.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Will assume, for the purposes of this Mallard monologue, that
that report is accurate. The Raiders said to be the
new front runner for Matthew Stafford in a trade.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
How much stock do you put on that? So I've got.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Professional wrestling, Lando Lakes, Butter and Golden Hammer, and we're
gonna put all these things together. We're gonna make the gobbagool.
We're gonna make the gobbagool, all right, So to begin
here in terms of how much stock. As you know,
in one of my nicknames I am, I'm the King
of Wall Street. So this is my nemesis in the
(04:55):
football season, the penny.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It's a penny stock.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
At this point, I assume nothing and I question everything.
That's good talk radio. I'm a skeptic, Okay, I am
in a show me state of mind. Here's why we
know this is a fluid situation. Twenty four hours ago,
the Giants were the favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Now the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Well, you got a couple of days to go here.
So if Stafford let's play this out here, you and I.
If Stafford picks the Raiders, he would be making a
Faustian bart. He would be giving up any realistic chance
of getting to another super Bowl for a check.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And maybe he's fine with that.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I mean, after all, he did win, for my money,
the greatest super Bowl the modern era, Rams and Bengals
a couple of years back, Rams stood atop the mountain.
So for Stafford, he's goutys a little hunk of metal,
will piece of metal right there. And so yeah, if
you got to not win another one, but you get
a nice, nice deal, a nice contract. Okay, now the issue,
(05:58):
and this is why I'm a skeptic on this. Mark
Davis as an NFL owner, Mark Davis, if he was
a professional wrestler, his nickname, you.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Know, his nick name would be he would be El Chipo.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
That would be his nickname. He is penny rich and
dollar poor. I think that's how it goes. Penny rich,
dollar port. I think that's the phrase. It would be
out of character to pay Stafford what he's gonna want,
fifty plus million dollars a year, unless Stafford is willing
to cut some kind of deal.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Maybe he would be.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't know why you would do that with the Raiders.
If you look at the roster, barring some kind of
dramatic recreation of that roster this offseason, that team as
it is currently instructed, with only a couple of additions,
would not be even a wildcard team you would assume
next season. Now, furthermore, let's get to the timeline. So
(06:52):
I think this part of the story is interesting. Otherwise
I wouldn't have brought it up. But we are told
that both the Rams and Matthew Stafford believe there will
be a resolution to all the confusion soon regarding Stafford's status,
whether he stays or goes with the Rams, and it
should be done by the end of the NFL combine.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
The plot thickened some more.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Hello now State sponsored the NFL media the problem. The
news service of the NFL tells us that all options
are on the table, including staying put, keeping his tucks
with the Rams, going to the Raiders. As we've mentioned,
the Giants are still lurking in the shadows, and my favorite,
the Mystery Team. I love the Mystery Team. Give me
(07:40):
the mystery, give me the misery, all right, So, how
do the next seventy to hours because remember this is
we're now our Friday show. The Combine ends on Monday,
So how do the next seventy two hours or so
go on? Matthew Stafford watch, So we have our end
that team coverage here around the clock on the Fox
(08:03):
box that rocks. And this is land O Lake's butter. Okay,
as in Matthew Stafford spinning butter as he does soul searching,
does he.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Pick his happy place with a Rams?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
But in order to do that, as we've talked about,
he'd have to leave money on the table. The Rams,
if what we're hearing is accurate, have put their foot
down and said.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You've got a deal. We're not going to pay you
what you want.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And does Stafford say, Okay, I'd rather fill up my
four to oh one K to the max. And it's
really not his We're talking about like three or four
generations down the line. We're we're talking one hundred and
fifty years from now, taking care of those great great grandkids,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So get the Mickey mouse dollars. With the combine ding.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
On Monday, a decision will likely come down Saturday or Sunday,
we hope Sunday properly before the show. Give us time
to process everything. Get the The show started on Sunday
night with some hot Stafford news.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But as for what Stafford is worth in a.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Trade, now, I would love if the Raiders of the
Giants are dumb enough to trade a first round pick.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I realize that's not gonna happen. I also realize they're
not going to get a second round pick at most.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
The Rams, I would think, barring some kind of Jedi
mind trick, will get a third round pick and some
conditional pick swap or some other conditional draft picks, depending
on how staffords a stays healthy and be how he performs.
The real fun begins if Stafford hits the eject button. Now,
that is when things get very, very interesting, because then
(09:44):
the Rams starting job opens up, and that becomes a
very coveted position. Being able to work with the greatest
offensive mind in modern football, Sean McVay, and a.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Team that has a young upstart.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Defense and an elite top ten receiver in Puka Nakua
and a pretty good running back. I mean, there's a
lot of good stuff going on with the Rams right now,
and so that job becomes the pick.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Of the litter.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Now, unfortunately the litter, it's a lot of dogs with fleece.
But you got that Aaron Rodgers story, Aaron Rodgers lurking
in the shadow. So we'll see how this all plays out.
I'm excited, you know, I'm fired up. We'll see how
it all plays out, all right, Now, last thing, so
I want to follow up on what was our lead
(10:33):
story in a previous episode of the show, NFL Media
a Musings. Everyone in the media business talking about these
two insiders getting into a dust up. And I bring
that up because an NFL spokeshack said that the league
has no issue with Matthew Stafford meeting with Tom Brady
(10:56):
and the Raiders. The league said the club gave permission.
So what is your takeaway from that new wrinkle in
this story? So this is an obvious w for the
upstart underdog insider.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It is a golden hammer for.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Fox's Jordan Schultz, the golden hammer over NFL Networks.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Ian Rappaport.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Now, these djmokes, if you didn't hear what happened, maybe
you don't obsessed with this crap like some of us do.
So these two Schmendricks got into a verbal Donnie Brook
at a Starbucks at the JW. Marriott in downtown Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
They got into it. They were having.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
A nice fruit drink and then they got into it.
So the NFL has sighted with Jordan Schultz report being accurate. Now,
what is my supporting evidence by saying the league said
that it has no issue with Stafford meeting with Tom Brady,
they are the NFL validating That's the word I would use,
(12:10):
validating Jordan Schultz reporting that those guys had a clandestine
meeting in Montana, and it was not not what the
rap sheet reported that it was some random cosmic accident
that they just happened to end up at the same
spot in Montana, surrounded by moose. It wasn't that, and
(12:36):
I continue to my opinion is that was just spin
from the Tom Brady camp.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
They were concerned about getting in trouble with the league.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Brady's paranoid from everything that happened in his days with
the Patriots, and so they leaked that to a former
Patriot beat writer, more likely than not Ian Rapaport. He
of course went with it because he's waiting for the
next Tom Brady scoope. But the NFL again, that's it's
not me, it's the NFL saying that they have no
issue with the get together because it wasn't get together.
(13:06):
The NFL would not have released that statement if it
was just some chance kwinkie dink that they.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Ran into each other. So that is a cut.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Punch to the rap sheet friendly fire too, because he's
on the NFL dime, he's on the NFL payroll. And
we'll see what the investigation leads to. But I was
flipping around and I was watching I don't really watch
these NBA games very much, but I love the TNT
guys like Barkley and Shack and Kenny Smith and those guys,
(13:38):
and they were yapping about the Jordan Schultz Ian Rappaport
Donnybrook situation was more verbal donny Brook than anything.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
But even they were yapping about it. It's a great story.
It's great kind of things.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Though again, that used to happen all the time, regular occurrence.
People would get very jealous, very competitive, and they would
go at it, logger heads all over the place.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
It is the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 1 (14:04):

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Right now, though, back to.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
A man with a lot of nicknames, including Big gall Bladder,
which is kind of dumb because he doesn't have a
goal bladder. Well it's ben actually, and I don't have
a gollbladder, thus the irony of the nickname Big goll Bladder.
The gallbladder was removed one of the more painful operations
(17:03):
one can have a couple of years back. But well,
I think it's been like five almost five years now.
It's it's been over that.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I think.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Do you miss it?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
No, No, I don't know, don't really miss it. Only
sometimes it affects me. Depends Like I fast a fair amount.
So sometimes if I eat like a really heavy meal
with lots of fried food, I got the Tennessee trots.
You know, I got the manazumas revenge.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
But what the gallbladder do exactly what.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's supposed to kind of cleanse some of the fat.
I think, I believe out of the food you eat.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I'm not a doctor, but I can't play one on
the radio. But if you eat a really unhealthy diet,
it attacks the gallbladder and then they got to rip
it out of you. You know that kind of You
still have your gallbladder.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, it's still in there.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's still in it. You're not sure that you haven't
seen it. You've never seen your gallbladder technically, No, yeah,
you have no idea.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
You know what's even crazier the amount of intestines they
say we have inside of there isn't there like ninety feet?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah? Yeah, it's like we're really like aliens.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
We don't realize it because all we know is us,
But like it's kind of scary when you think about
what's inside.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
It's wild our bodies.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It's pretty pretty crazy stuff for sure. Yaphemi and Chicago
Rights and says, hey, mallord a a plus in some
NFL offseason kool aid on the monologue for what It's worth,
I think you would win in an altercation with a
rival radio gas bag. Yeah, there have been many of
those over the years. The most famous one in LA
(18:33):
radio goes back to when the La Raiders played at
the Coliseum. This predates me, but I heard it from
many people when I got.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Into the into the business.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So there was this talk show host in La who
it was a buddy of mine, Jim Raw not himro
Joe McDonald, Big Joe, the Big Nasty. It was like
a legend. It was like the Francesa of LA Radio
dominated for years. And so the legend is that Joe McDonald,
who was a very large man in more ways than one.
I mean he was, he was big. He made me
(19:06):
seem small at my biggest and big Joe was upset
with Jim Rome Freudian slip, and supposedly.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
They got into it.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And this is before Jim Rome became Jim Rome and Joe.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
McDonald allegedly, Well he's dead, I can say it. I mean,
he's not. Joe would appreciate me saying it because he's not.
I can't assue me now.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
But he's supposedly picked up Jim Rome by the neck
in the press box at the Coliseum during a Raiders game.
And the legend is that's like the last time Jim
Rome ever went.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
To an event.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
But I don't know, and I don't I know Jim
a little bit. He used to work at our place,
so I have nothing. And when I worked in San Diego,
Jim was just starting out, and he had been not
just starting, he'd been there for a while. But nothing
bad to say about him. I just it's one of
the great legendary stories. Yeah, super Marcus Steve says, my
bad Bend. You got the run down in just in time. Yeah,
(20:04):
this super Mike Steve, What a schmuck. Such a schmuck.
Larry D says, just because Bill Miller got a website first,
that does not make.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Him more important than Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I agree, Milkman, Mike and Colorado says, fantabulous Friday opening
Mallard monologue on the spin cycle from the NFL overlords.
It appears to me that this is the NFL covering
for Brady since they've set aside.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
The rules for him as a part owner.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, Late night drug tester says, the NFL is going
to make sure that Stafford trade news gets out on Sunday.
That way will overtake the only other news from the
combine the shouting match at a Starbucks. Oh, mister Luciano
writes it. He says, four point nine out of ten.
That's a low score by mister Luciano on the opening
(20:55):
Mallard monologue. With some RAMS tiers on the side, this
will be the beginning of the downfall of the Rams
if Matthew Stafford decides to leave. You cannot be more wrong,
mister Luciano. Now I am I'm hoping that Stafford. I
think he's gonna be the Giants, but I hope he
goes to the Raiders. And here's why, because when the
Rams picked up Matthew Stafford, all my buddies who are
Raider fans.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I got a lot of buddies who are Raider fans.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
And they're like a sleeper cell Raider nation, because you
don't want to be too loud and proud as a Rader.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Because the Raiders blow right. So but there's a lot
I know a lot of people in my life that
are Raider fans.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
And when the Rams got Matthew Stafford, all these idiots,
oh man, they quoted like Rob Parker, Stat Padford and
all that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, and they were giving me the business. And then
Stafford goes.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Out and helps the Rams who win a Super Bowl,
and everyone got real quiet.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Everyone got real quiet. So I'm I've got my receipts.
I promise you, you know who.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You are if you're in my in my world as
a raider, a raider, Hank, and I will promise you
I will cash in those receipts the moment at Stafford
goes to Vegas. Yes, I will, And I will laugh
when the Rams get Aaron Rodgers or a pile of
fertilizer quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
And end up end up winning.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, Gunner rights in, I'm guessing he won't be calling
in after the the Timberwolves game. Gunner says, great opening monologue.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
He says he sent that to Bill Miller. I don't
know why you would send that to Bill Miller. It's
a bad job by you.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Jeremy in Minnesota says Ben. Where the twins? I don't.
I don't have my gallbladder said we're twins anymore either. Yeah,
there you go. Furdock says Bill Miller's doing monologues. I know,
isn't it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Spaccoli says, next time I call, I will end my
call by saying rack me now, I'm good. I'm good
on that. Eileen says the Rams should go with Jimmy G.
I think there are some other reasons. Eileen would like
to see Jimmy G play quarterback for the for the Hey,
I don't care, listen, I've been very clear here. The
(23:04):
secret for the Rams is the Wizard is Sean McVay,
and as long as he's there and they get a
halfway decent quarterback, they'll be at least a playoff team.
And you look at the division. The Seahawks aren't even trying.
They're not even trying with Gino Smith. And as much
as Nostradinis tries to sell you on Geno Smith, deep
down he knows the guys is stiff even crying. Craig's
(23:26):
crying right now thinking about Geno Smith sticking around for.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
A longer term. Arizona's not serious.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
They got a gamer, a video game guy at quarterback,
and Kyler Murray and the jig is up in the
Bay Area. Brock Purty, mister, mister, you know what, as
he was the last pick in the raft, he's starting
to play.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
A little bit like that now.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
So the Rams, even if they get a bad quarterback,
they'll be as just the same as all the others.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
In the division.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
It's pretty even situation, if you will. All right, it
is the Ben mal Or Show. We are working our
way through the overnight hours, and we'll start out on
the phones. We'll go to the Bay Area and let's
say hello to Tony in the Bay Area.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Hello, Tony, for.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
He's a jolly good foul Oh, for he's a jolly
good foul.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
What's no one can?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
And I, hey, Ben, I got a few things. One is,
after a rare and appropriate good call, I listen on
the radio, and if I like I said, I celebrate
with throwing punches in the air. Another thing is I'd
like to say to all my fans, and I mean
this from the bottom of my heart, please get some help.
(24:35):
And I got a joke here, Ben, Okay, how do
you make a sad clown smile?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I don't know. How do you make a sad clown smile?
I don't know?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
You say Hello, Tony? Thanks Ben? I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
It's all right. He didn't curse, right, that's not a curse.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Curse?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Is he? Okay? Can we do a wellness check on Tony?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
He hung up there, he didn't aggress. He's he hung up.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
So he wanted to go turn on whatever he's listening
to in whatever device he's listening on, and hear himself.
So he hung up real quick. So I got to
go back and I got to turn that on, and
I gotta hear that. I want to hear what that's like.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
So there's a little.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Conspiracy theory, uh, you know, making the rounds here Uh.
The the NBA on Thursday night, the timber Puffs played
the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I know Gunnar doesn't want to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
And the game, the final score was was Lakers by
I think they won a BYuT like nine or something
like that, but they never trailed. Minnesota did not play
very well early in the game. But there's something deeper
going on.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
In that game.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
There's always something deeper, uh, And that would be the
old school NBA officiating. James Williams, somebody named Brent Barnakey,
Brandon Adair. I think I don't even know I'm pronouncing
the names. I know I got James Williams right.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I know that. I know I got.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
James name right, number sixteen year program. Now I did
I know I know how to say James Willias.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Brent Barnakey, I think I got that right, and Brandon
Adare anyway, those are the officials that worked the game
there at the down on skid Row where the Lakers play,
and the Lakers had forty six foul shots. They had
twenty more foul shots than the Minnesota timbul So people
are saying, well, it's a conspiracy to help Luke out,
(26:31):
and Luca didn't shoot the ball well. Again, he had
twenty one points, but he was six of twenty one
of nine from moneyball land, so he didn't do all that.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Curt.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I mean, he had rebounds, a few assists and all that,
but he didn't shoot the ball well. He's supposed to
be a premier shooter. But I'm not gonna see her
and talk about that. And I don't even know that.
The Laker conspiracy thing is the angle to me, the
angle on this the conspiracy is if you were paying attention.
The other day, the Timberwolves played in Oklahoma City, actually played.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Back to back, and after.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
The last game, which I believe Minnesota one their coach,
Chris Finch, Remember he was like in a wheelchair during
the playoffs, all messed up anyway, Chris Finch, the coach
of the Timberwolves, he seemingly called out the officials for
the fact that Oklahoma City in that game, like they
were getting tons of foul calls on Minnesota helping Oklahoma
(27:31):
City out, and Finch was implying that there was some
kind of funny business. The way I read it, he
was implying there was some funny business with the officials.
So it certainly seemed like that was a little payback
by the referees there in the game on Thursday night.
It's like, hey, you took some shots at us, We'll
take care of you right now. Well, they'll take care
of you, and that's that. And so that's how you
(27:54):
get a forty six to twenty six advantage one team
over the other. Lakers outscored Minnesota by twelve from the
floor or from the foul line. Rather, Minnesota actually outscored
the Lakers in field goals.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
And they had one more moneyball in that game, one
more money ball.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Also in that
game it was ball night, Anthony Edwards was ejected with
a second technical foul. Happened with five twenty one on
the clock in the third quarter of that game. The
Minnesota star kicked out and then he walked off the court.
(28:34):
He took the ball with him, but he didn't take
it all the way to the locker room. He threw
the ball into the crowd at the Laker Wolves game.
And so he'll be he'll be fine for that, tossing
the ball into the stands. And every time I see
a play like this where somebody, and it happens every
(28:54):
so often, somebody will chuck the ball into the crowd.
The single greatest event where somebody threw a ball into
a crowd of a basketball game. Most people don't remember
because I'm I was a kid relatively speaking when this happened.
But the Indiana Pacers had a guy named Chuck Person.
You probably don't know who that is. I think he
went to jail for some some funny business. I don't
(29:17):
know some was it COVID stuff or recruiting, I don't know, whatever,
it doesn't matter. But Chuck Person was a pretty good
player back in the old days. And he got ejected.
They were playing the Chicago Bulls at the old Chicago Stadium,
and he walked all on the court towards the locker room,
walked off it, and he took the basketball and.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
He punted it into the crowd like an NFL punter.
It was awesome.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
It was I'm sure the clips on YouTube, I'm positive
you can, you can find it.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
But it was a beautiful.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It was like watching Johnny Hecker or Reggie Roby punt
the football. It was great, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful wonderful. Anyway,
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. Time now for the
who am I Game? And we'll get to that. We'll
(30:19):

You're welcome. So yeah, happy new Moon and Pisces. Good
time to manifest your dreams and visions. And the astrology
lady would appreciate your votes. And I was looking at
Matthew Stafford sports Astrology and he's born February seventh, nineteen
(38:39):
eighty eight, and he's an Aquarius, just had his birthday
a few weeks ago, and you know, that's kind of
an eccentric energy, and I could see him with the raiders,
you know, if he's moving on and he's having a
Saturn aspect square is Mars, and you know, I always
talk about Mars being a crucial plan for an athlete,
(39:01):
rules the skeletal system, bones, knees, teeth, joints, back, So
we'd have to be a little mindful about that in
terms of moving forward. So no real red flags, but
just kind of a lowered energy cycle. So that's something
to just keep your expectations not too high. But nonetheless,
(39:21):
it is a happy new moon in Pisces, and you know,
that's a nice energy to have, you know, with the
oh and it's interesting that's right with the vote, you know,
