Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our number one hour one
of the Original Recipe Podcast. As we search high and
low for the hottest sports takes around and here in
our number one on the Original Recipe Podcast. The Petsburg
Steelers the Yinsers. Their quarterback decision between Russell Wilson and

(00:23):
Justin Fields said to be a coin flip? Is that
how you see it? Also, Brown's quarterback DeShawn Watson says
he's quote blocking out all noise ahead of the twenty
twenty four season. What does that signal to you? And
DeVante Adams and I'm on Rossain Brown, a couple of
star receivers in Pro football, ripping the fan bases of

(00:47):
the Commanders and Falcons, saying they have the worst in
the NFL? But which is the worst of the worst
between those two? Will answer that question? And who knows
what else? Right now here? It is our burn? Is
it a steal of a job? Welcome? In the beginning

(01:11):
of another night of the Ben Malors Show. We are
in the air everywhere as we flock together, say Mama Mia,
it's time. It's time for the show. Coast to coast,
border the Order and beyond. On the mast and spectacularly
powerful microphones of fs are emmundating live from the chronicles,

(01:37):
the chat chronicles with a new camera. I do notice
a new camera in the studio as we are hanging
out broadcasting live from the ti rac dot com studios.
Tyre ract dot Com will help you get there in
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection, over
ten thousand recommended installers. Our guy Calligan Tim in Michigan

(02:01):
likes that number. Tire rack dot Com the Way Tire
Buying Show be Play the Hits, mom Man, play the
Hits Day Night doubleheader in our lead this hour from
the land of the Insers, Pittsburgh, PA. Holy Spaccoli Batman
Russell Wilson and we were told for the last several
months that Russell Wilson had a firm hold on these

(02:25):
starting quarterback job. He's gonna be qwob one. But then
he showed up the camp hobbled. They claimed it happened
while he was sleeping. Some people skeptical about that. There's
all kinds of grand conspiracies, but this has led to
chatter that the RUSS bus is in danger of being
usurped in Pittsburgh's quarterback drama, oh, the drama of quarterback

(02:49):
competition in training camp. So if you've not been following
this story, and maybe you don't really care that much
to follow the details, the in and out of it,
we're told that Justin Fields, well, he still has work
to do. Yeah, that's an understatement, but Justin Fields in
order to catch Russell Wilson to the race for the
starting job, these Steelers are said to be open minded

(03:12):
about his ability to do so. In fact, the story,
and this is the part that caught my attention, was
that it's closer to a coin flip at this particular point,
that it's closer to a coin flip. So that got
my attention. He's like, why I'm into coins. I did
a thing last year with the penny. I've done that
for years on radio, he did on TV last year.

(03:32):
So I was like, I'm into the coin thing. So
let us discuss the question, right, Steelers quarterback decision between
Russell Wilson and Justin Field said to be a coin flip?
Is that how you see it? So I've got the
amazing Creskin, the Himalayan Wolf, and Chail Noble, and we

(03:53):
will combine all of those things together and we are
going to make a migraine headache, which I might have
by the end of this night. Who knows. I have
no idea anyway, So a now on this one, what
do I see? I have clear vision. I have absolute
clear vision on this. Russell Wilson, I maintain, is in

(04:13):
the pole position, not because he's good, because he used
to be good, and that's all you have to have.
You're looking for anything to grasp onto and Russell Wilson
has some accolades on his resume, not an MVP or
anything like that. Done that was part of a super
Bowl winning team. That's enough. Russell Wilson is in front

(04:35):
in this race. I maintain that he's also got the
amazing Cresken, this old magic set. He's got the double
sided coin, the magic coin, the double sided coin. Whi's
a great way to win Betts And anyway you flip
it right, Russell Wilson is on the downward slope. That
is true. He is the safe choice between those two.

(04:56):
And if he's healthy, big if he's going to start
the season as the QB in Pittsburgh, and that is
a big yeft because Russ has been sidelined. It's early
on in training camp, but he has not been out
there participating with a calf injury. And as a result,
these Steelers have gotten a extended look see at Justin

(05:17):
Fields taking the snaps with the starters, and he has
played pretty bad from those that are there watching and
being paid to watch there. And so you get to
see Justin Fields warts and all, all of it right
in many flaws, the imperfections, the work in progress on display.
He did win the offseason MVPs. I forgot about that.
Justin Fields did win the offseason MVP ESPN. Given that

(05:40):
that was before last season. Then he actually had to
play the real season, and that was where the problem
came up. Right, Boomer bust on pretty much every single
play Justin Fields, Russell Wilson not a lot of boom,
a lot of bust, but not bust on every play.
And Sean Payton, I thought Sean Payton did a great
job of hiding russ So Wilson as much as he could,

(06:03):
and even that was not really all that good. All right, now,
turning the page, we go to Cleveland. We stay in
the AFC North. We're going to go to Cleveland. Here
where the Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson says that he is
quote blocking out all the noise. He said this week,
this ahead of the upcoming regular season. So what does

(06:23):
that signal to you? He's blocking out all the noise,
So it tells you he's still very much delusional. He's
wallowing in the mire of victimhood. And this is not
new though, the fact that he's trying to block out
the noise. This goes back to his days at Clemson.
If you've been with the show a long time, you
know that we had a famous interaction before he became

(06:44):
public enemy number one. Deshaun Watson got upset. Now I
didn't even tag him in some stuff, but he's coming
out of Clemson coming into the NFL, and he was
a darling. Everyone loved Deshaun Watson coming out of college
and had won at Clemson and with Dabbos Sweeney and
all that, and this has always been a bugaboo. It's
always been a bugaboo. DeShawn is like the Himalayan wolf, which,

(07:09):
as I understand it, the wolf has tremendous hearing, just
wonderful hearing. Can hear for miles and miles and miles
and miles and that's essentially Deshaun Watson. He's a Himalayan wolf.
He can hear things, he sees it, looks out stuff
for stuff. He mindlessly consumes media and internet content NonStop,

(07:32):
more than I do. And I kind of have to
do a lot of that because of this job. But
he's scrolling away and all that stuff, and it's not
gonna change now. He's like, oh yeah, I'm just gonna
block all that out, block out the noise. Yeah right, yeah, right.
And he is a cautionary tale and he has screwed
things up so much in the big picture because anytime

(07:53):
a player says, I want fully guaranteed money, So okay,
all right, let's see who's the only player they got
fully guaranteed money. Oh, that's Deshaun Watson. The biggest bust
in NFL history. When you talk about dollar for dollar,
it's Deshaun Watson. And so why would you give another
guy Deshaun Watson? He said, Oh, it's perfect coming out

(08:15):
of the textis of course, at the time he wasn't
because the scandal was going on all right now. Last
word here, some are calling this engagement farming. You can
be the judge on that. DeVante Adams and Aman Ross
Saint Brown, couple of name brand receivers. They appeared on
a recent podcast. I have no idea what this is.
I don't listen to it, but they were asked to

(08:35):
choose between answering who had the worst NFL fans or
eating and extra spicy chicken wing, and sure enough they decided,
We're going with the fan base that blows is what
we're going with. All right, They didn't pause at all
eight twenty four. So Saint Brown he kind of hemmed
in hard, and he said the Falcons have some of

(08:58):
the worst fans in the NFL. He claimed with the Lions,
they played in Atlanta and there was no one there.
Tenants was pathetic, and so he said that, and Adams
he called out the Commanders. He said the Commanders fans
were miserable because the stadium was horrible. He said, the
city's not great at all. Shout out to Washington, d C.
Which is the He went on to say, probably I'm

(09:20):
gonna go get somebody at my front door after this,
but that's just how I feel. Oh close.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
So you got Davonte Adams on one side, You've got
i'man Ross. Saint Brown on the other ripping the Commanders
and the Falcons as the worst fans in the NFL,
which is out of those two, you would only pick
one which is the worst. Now, the easy pick has
always been traditionally Atlanta because that's a college football town.
It's not an NFL town. It's a college football town.

(09:46):
So he always go with the Fugs. But I'm gonna
go with the Commanders, and it's all inclusive. So I'm
gonna agree with Devonte Adams on this that it's the
Commanders and here's why they're They're head and shoulders in
this moment ahead of the the Falcons. And if you're
a supporter of the Washington Commanders, it's like being in

(10:08):
the exclusion zone, that eighteen mile radius around the Chernobyl
Nuclear Power Plant. The Washington Commanders. It is a starless franchise.
The stadium is crumbling. Every year, there's like a video
of some water, usually poopy water, falling down on fans.
That's happened multiple times. Eddie was at one of those
games when this happened. And plus the other thing is

(10:31):
if you're like middle aged and you can afford season tickets,
you likely grew up as a fan of a Washington Redskins.
They don't exist anymore. They got canceled. And now you
have this franchise name which is just filler at spam.
It's not it's a dumb name. It's like a name
if you asked AI to name an NFL team. Oh,
let's call Commanders. Okay, that's stupid. It's a placeholder name.

(10:53):
And you've got the revolving door coach. And maybe the
new owner is good. I don't know. They've only been
there for a minute. Who knows whether he's good or not.
But it's pretty bad anyway you slice it. It's you
just gotta be numb to it. So the team stinks.
No stars, stadium blows. Name of the franchise. The Moniker.

(11:13):
The one thing if your team's bad, you always had
the Moniker that you grew up with. Now you don't
have that anymore. All right, is the Ben Mallor Show.
If you'd like to comment on any of that, you
can join us speak Easy rules are in effect. It
twas the night before the baseball trade deadline as well,
so I'm sure there'll be some new developments going on
throughout the overnights and chatter and whatnot. The trade headlines

(11:35):
in the afternoon. They screwed us over. I've done this
job for a long time. Overnights we used to always
get the trade deadlines that would happen at night, like
usually midnight eastern nine in the West. And then it
was Rachel Nichols, that's the one she complained, and working
in the ESPN at the time. She complained, I usually
Fox Sports won now, but she complained it was too late.

(11:57):
You can't stay up that late in the media, God forbid.
And so the NBA changed it to the day, and
then everyone else followed, So, okay, we'll do it like
at six o'clock or four o'clock in the afternoon. All
the trade that lines are earlier, and so the one
little slice of fun that we had completely gone in
terms of that. But there's still some trades that happened overnight.

(12:20):
We'll take your calls. Also on X at Ben Mauther's
still time to vote. I got up the the on
the socials on X I put up a little late.
The survey pull whatever you want to call it, on
who the people want to vote for, you the listeners
want to vote for. If you heard the Malt Palooza
last night. You can vote. Still time to vote till
the end of the show. It'll be up a little

(12:41):

her first public appearance the court allows it, and also
Coop will be there as well. I'll be hanging out
with him. We'll be there from three at least until five,
but probably longer than that because we'll see how many
people are there and hanging out. And if you get there,
usually about halfway through through a big group photo, big

(13:31):
team photo, big thing, big thing team photo, and you
can be immortalized and right right there on the wall
in the remote studio. You can be immortalized amazing. Anyway,

Knock yourself out. No, he doesn't seem as excited as
I thought he would be. A Mallard prop guy who
we met, very nice man. Mallet prop guy was in
here yesterday hanging out with us. Brought like a big
bag of food, he says. Another factual, all around solid

(15:42):
Mallard monologue as yesterday morning absolute ten out of ten.
I thought you were too young to know. The amazing
Cresken did you study his writings and videos? If you
did that and your Nostradami's connection, no fun story, Mallard
prop guy I did. I was doing a Sunday show
with Looney Tunes years ago. We had for some reason,
the amazing Crescin on the show. He came on as

(16:06):
a guest, lived in the I think he might even
still be alive. I don't know. He was really old then.
This was years ago, but the Amazing Crescin came on
the show and he was, you know, doing his BS
act or whatever. But he liked me more than Looney.
So I've always had a place in my heart for
the Amazing Crescin because of that.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
And it was.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Something he made some prediction about who is going to
win the World Series or something like that, and we
had him on and something along those lines, something along
those lines. Who else we have page down here? He
owns me. I'm a bitch, clearly, yeah, without a doubt. Obviously.
Our late night drug tester says Steele's quarterback situations like
the river in Perie, full of talksin's and hoping the

(16:49):
conditions will improve for the athletes with more time. Isn't
We're heading into Tuesday, isn't Tuesday the day the poopy
water swimming is supposed to take place? Or did they
push that back?

Speaker 5 (16:59):
They pushed back.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hockey.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
That sounds lovely.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Well, one day it'll be better. You don't hear in
Venice Beach when they close the beach there because there's
a sewage leak and saying you just wait a day,
you're fine.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
They don't even close it.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Sometimes well sometimes they'll try to close it. Robin Vegas says,
in honor of this Saturday's meet and greet, can we
get a nickname? Rundown? And it has been a minute vivo.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
We just did it like the other day.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
We didn't do the full, the full rundown, and Tammy
and Montana wanted the full rundown. So I think we
have to do more more nicknames. I am known as,
among other things, the spin master of misinformation, the bannering broadcaster,
the Beethoven of BS. I've been called the Curmudgeon of commentary,
the chasm sarcasm, the Tsar of Zandy, the dark night
of week night sports radio, the mogul of mischief, Benny,

Bopper Bopper Benny the Bopper, Facetius Fox, Sultan of insulting,
the Shaman of schadenfreude, the Sensitive by the Way Sniffer,
the jumping Jack of wisecrack, Insight of overnight medicine, Man Mather,
the neighbor Nabob of negativity, the Sage of outrage, the

(18:16):
Pinnacle of cynical, the Prince of preposterous, the Professor of propaganda,
Hazzar Hard of hyperbole, the floating turd of the spoken
word that's appropriate after the water in Perie, Hoop de Loop,
and the mad Hatter of sports chatter. Those are all
some of my many nicknames. The claim to fame here

(18:37):
the most nicknames you can possibly get? Are you happy?
Rob Art Puffin Wrights since says eight plus on the
Malle Monologue. A good Russell bashing always great for radio.
I wonder if he's got his own luxury box at
Pittsburgh Stadium like he had in Denver. Speaking of luxury boxes,
unofficial Sores reporting that the Clippers will be going with

(19:00):
the novelty urinals at the Into It so they have
so many urinals at the Intuit home they could do
novel they could have one side novelty. They could. It's
gonna be amazing. It's the greatest fan experience the right Manzi.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
Especially for the ladies. Are you very excited?

Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's amazing. It's legendary. Have you been over there? Have
you checked it out here?

Speaker 5 (19:20):
I have not checked it out.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
I was invited, but I didn't go because it was
too early in the day. They invited me to. Fred
Rogan invited me to go over there. Fred was doing
some MC thing at the thing and he said, oh,
you want to show up. I was like a show up?
Then he told me what time it was.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (19:33):
I had an invite from a friend, but I was
doing my Saturday shows.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Slide the Saturday show in there Hartman, you know, oh
Homer Hartman.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, I keep them young.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, he's he's his own Wikipedia page. He didn't need Wiki.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
You have no idea what I'm saying it is.

Speaker 6 (19:50):
Yeah, we have a game called Who's Your Daddy where
we try and stump them.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Really, how you stumped him yet?

Speaker 6 (19:56):
I have once, but it's like he did just he
didn't know the answer, but he knew everything.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
Else everything, you know. He was like I can't think
of the guy's name. But he gave me the school.
You know, he just like went crazy, and it's like,
I don't even know if I won.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I want you to know, I met Hartman when I
was like nineteen years I'm old now. I met Hartman.
I was nine. I started an intern.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Was it when he was still wearing bell bottoms?

Speaker 1 (20:15):
H No, not that, not quite that, not that young,
but no, he was. He looks exactly the same. He
was doing the show with Chet forty, who he's like
a big producer of money at football.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
But he looks.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Exactly the same.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
He really does.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, it's got to be his natural hair color, not
diet all. No die at all.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
No, you know, I really don't think he dies it. No,
I really don't. My dad has dark pitch hair, black hair.
He's a lizard person or something like that. I don't
well handle.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'll have to I'll have to ask Alex about that.
I'll have to ask him that. Ferg Dog writes and
he says, is the war with David vasse back on?
He got pretty defensive again when you brought up his
relationship with Blake. Still. Yeah, well, I've been doing double
duty this week. I'll be doing double duty later on Tuesday,
and then on Wednesday also on the local station, You're

(21:03):
a five seventy in LA. And so we had Vassay
on who hosts the Dodger postgame show and happens to
be friends with the enemy, Blake Snell. Bro, I'm rigging
my line play less, I get mine, bro that guy.
And then I heard I didn't hear this lie, but
I heard secondhand that Vessy took pot shots at me

(21:23):
on the Petros and Money show in LA. That scumbag.
How dare him? Yeah? And of course he might have
been upset that I pointed out that when he's not
doing Dodger talk, he's massaging Dodger player's shoulders. Maybe he
got upset by that. I don't know. Matthew Warrior Raider
fan says there is no chance he will be going

(21:43):
to Vegas to join us at the mouth of meet
and greet in the middle of the summer, and out
of principle, he says he refuses to attend out of
town events until we do a meet and greet in
the Bay Area. Yeah, he says, the Bay Area has
been passed over long enough. Coop, you want to go
to the Bay Area. What happened to that guy?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Out of me?

Speaker 1 (22:04):
To Louis, he hasn't called in a while. He's he
offered his bar, although I think it's in Oakland. We'll
get like shanked if we go there, won't we.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
He called in like a month ago, right.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Did he? I don't know, it's been a while.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
I like the Bay Area.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
We could get a party bus and drive up there together.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
I'm good.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Are you gonna come to Vegas? Monci?

Speaker 5 (22:22):
If I invited show? You can share my room with me? Yes,
coming out.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Let's party, party, party, Yeah, absolutely, But there is a
rum where the bus driver might be showing up here.
Speaking of bus drivers, he might be here tonight. I haven't.
I should probably check my phone, he said. He he is?
Is he here? I don't know? Not yet. Oh he's
not here yet. Was he waiting? To what is he waiting?
He said?

Speaker 3 (22:44):
He said an hour two?

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Oh hour two? He's coming. Yeah, what's wrong? He didn't
want to see anyone else in the building. Is that why?

Speaker 3 (22:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Probably not. He's like, I'll wait till no one's there.
I'll come in.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
I don't like.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Has Lorena met the buster? I don't think she's met
a bus driver. Oh wow, interesting, All right, Buster will
be here. Ozzie was from Western Australia listening to the
live show. He says, I'm listening while working down down
the hole where the creepy quarterback belongs. Wow, Ozzie was
out in the boondocks out there, Parido writes, and he says, Benny,

(23:18):
you forgot to add David's blankety blank after you. I'm
trying understand. I'm not sure what you mean by this,
but it's something he clowned me on the on the
petrols Mon show. Yeah, I was told. I think you
might have been the one that told me. A very
disappointing effort given, he says, well, I may or may

(23:39):
not have another battle Royale with him on the next
next day. We'll see take deadline. I will get the
last word. I will absolutely get the last word. That
is going to happen. So walk like an Egyptian. Aaron Rodgers.
Aaron Rogers video popping up all over the place of

(24:03):
Aaron Rodgers getting into it with multiple Jets teammates at
training camp this week was that, Okay, that's fine in
this training camp and you're trying to work out the
kinks and all that stuff. Of course, many have pointed
out that a subheadline would be a guy who went
on vacation during an important work period, upset about relationship

(24:25):
with co workers. See, that could be the subheadline on that,
because Rogers had to go to Egypt and had to
do that. It's very hard to get a trip to
Egypt when you've got a lot of money. There's only
a certain amount of time you can get to go there.
And so yeah, so Rogers is upset, fuming, huffing and puffing,
having a conniption fit with his teammates at Jets training

(24:47):
camp while he was hanging out in Egypt during the
mini camp. So I'm sure those things are not related
at all. A biblical ceremony in sports, it happened, not
of the Olympics. It happens somewhere else. We'll get to that,
but right now, let's get you caught up on everything
going on in the overnight. She's excited.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
I don't know, it's ladies night.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
It is ladies n you're pressed.

The people both thank you. I know your call back anyway,
so I'm hanging up on your call back fifteen times
you do every night, So thank you, my goodness. A
ceremony in sports, which is of a biblical nature of
the Chicago White Sox traded away a couple of players,

(33:11):
one of them Michael Kopek, who went to the Dodgers,
who's been terrible by the way, it looks like he
should be great and has been terrible in the big leagues,
but he was part of the White Sox bullpen. They
traded him. So the White Sox relievers passed around a
drink and they each took a sip of it in
the bullpen, and they had a ceremonial goodbye to their

(33:31):
teammate on the worst team in baseball. They had to
give him the proper tribute. Now, this has been documented
in many movies, and if you're old, there was a
movie back in the early nineties named it was Boys
in the Hood. They had this in there, but it
actually goes back to the Bible. It's biblical ancient Egypt
talk about walk like an Egyptian. Ancient Egypt, they actually

(33:52):
started using water when this ceremony began, and it's continued
on since biblical time. So the White Sox they were
not allowed to use alcohol. They had to use a
sports drink because baseball would have gotten very upset. Although
they could have used alcohol pretending like it's a sports drink,
not that that has ever happened before at all. Time

(34:14):
out for the who am I? Game man, We'll go
to the NFL. I am the NFL player who just
missed the cut on the league's top one hundred players.

So there you go. And whenever you need content, this
is an important lesson. If you ever get a job
in radio or television you're looking to cultivate content, just
come up with a list. Just make a list up.
And that's why we don't. I don't know. I don't
do list radio. I don't. I don't believe in that.
