the Rams are working with him to trade Cooper Cup.

(00:25):
should Cooper Cup end up? Former Super Bowl hero for
the Rams? What are the odds that the Browns bend
beneath a Miles Garrett and give him his trade he
had requested? Also, let's play matchmaker. Where should Miles Garrett
end up this off season? We'll get to all of
that and more right now here it is our num

(02:03):
So are laid this hour to begin the night the
talk festivus you and I together Here from the swap
meet of football Super Bowl fifty nine days away on
tap this weekend. So the Eagles and Chiefs have to
play a game, but for everyone else, they're getting ready
for next year.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
It's hurry up, get ready for next year.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
And the twenty twenty five regular season, which will kick
off sometime in early September. Big moves, not surprising, but
big moves coming from La La Land. And if you
have not been following, because you actually have a life
and you're not obsessing with all of this, we have
learned that wide receiver Cooper Cup has been informed by

(02:49):
the RAMS his services are no longer needed for the
team that shares Sofi Stadium, that the A team will
be seeking to trade him immediately. How do we know that?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
We know that.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Because it came from the horse's mouth, Cooper Cups saying, quote,
I don't agree with the decision, and I always believed
it was going to begin and end in La close
quote a Cup making a statement on the social media.
What's all that? All the kids are doing it on

(03:26):
the social media. So he does not agree with the Rams' decision.
So Cup the team working together, Allegedly they're working together
to have him on the next train out of La
La Land heading somewhere else, says.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
The effort there to find the.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Right place to continue competing for championships. So the story
goes and he is highly motivated, and he says healthy.
He says, Cooper Cup's healthy. So let's let you know
that as they head into the next seasons. I got
healthy quick. The Rams eliminated a couple weeks back. He's
already healthy. Who knew?

Speaker 3 (04:06):
All right, So let us discuss the question.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Former super Ball hero Cooper Cup says that he is
not happy. He does not agree, but the Rams are
working to trade him. Immediately, give me your school of
thought on this. So I have Steve Harvey, bipartisan and

(04:30):
car shopping. That sounded like a different bell. What happened
to our bell? That was not the same bell? Okay,
that seemed a little I don't know it seems a
little loft. The original bell seemed a little offt I
don't know. Did somebody mess with our bell? Did someone
press the wrong bell button? I don't know, wrong all right, anyway,

(04:50):
my first thought on this, Cooper Cup is one of
the great overachievers.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Right, this be real here?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Cooper Cup third round draft fait out of a school
that is not known as the Alabama of the Pacific
Northwest and wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Eastern Washington. It was a
third round pick and at one point for the twenty
twenty one season, Cooper Cup was the top receiver in
the NFL. There was no one better than this guy,

(05:21):
no one. For one year, Cooper Cup was at the
very top of all the receiver numbers. He dominated the
NFL for one season, and he got paid for it,
so you don't feel bad. He got paid ninety plus
million dollars in his time with the Rams. A fun
player to watch. However, when you look at this from
thirty thousand feet up in the sky, right, you look

(05:42):
down and the words of Steve Harvey. We broadcast from
one of Steve Harvey's old studios here and the Steve
Harvey head a line years ago that loyalty has an
expiration date.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
So the Rams were loyal to Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup
was loyal.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
To the Rams. At some point, the Rams had an epiphany.
They had a come to Jesus moment. They realized that
they had taken the lemon and they had goweezed all
of the juice out of the lemon, and they were
done with the lemon. There was no more there there.
They could make like lemon zest out of it, but
they didn't want to do that. They just wanted to

(06:20):
squeeze all the juice out of it. And there you go.
So there was loyalty. They paid him, and it's like
it's like this business and it's like we do well here.
If they can find someone that works cheaper and can
make the company more money, I'll be gone.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
That's the way it works.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's how this operates, that's how anyone operates. So people
getting upside. I get an email from Rams and you
should rip the rooms. I'm like, oh no, not really.
I understand. Cooper cuple go somewhere else and they'll have
a chance to have a second act in his career.
But remember, at the end of this last regular season
for the Rams. Cooper Cup bad, bad to the bone

(07:02):
and not a good way, not a good way. He
was held under two catches in three of the final
five games that he appeared in for the Rams, and
he went over thirty yards one time over the final
five games. That's that's not thirty million dollars a year.
That's not you know, that's not top notch wide receiver money.

(07:24):
And so Pookinakoula, poo Ca, pookin a Coua has zoomed
passed him and he is at the very peak of
his superpowers right now, another unknown Pookinakua who is at
the very top of the Rammed depth chart at this
particular point. So Cooper Cup is at a fork in

(07:44):
the road. He's the crossroads here. And what does he do?
What does he do? Like the Rams are saying, he
is a diminishing asset, that his great salad days are
behind him and that he will be nothing special the
rest of the way. That's what they're betting on. So
where should Cooper Cup attempt to relocate? Where should he go?

(08:09):
So you immediately try to eliminate all these NFC teams, say, Well,
the Rams will cover themselves they'll think, well, he's not
that good anymore, but just in case he does turn
out to be good, we're gonna send.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Him to the AFC.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
So right away, you're like, all right, he says he
wanted to begin and end his career in La. Well,
the Chargers don't have any receivers. Their receivers blow, how
about the Chargers and stay in Sofi Stadium. The Rams
and Chargers can work out of trade and you can
go play there. If not the Charge Buffalo they don't
have any receivers, so why not the Buffalo Bills, which

(08:40):
just fine until it gets cold in Buffalo and then
you it doesn't matter if you have receivers or not, because.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
They don't do anything in cold weather.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
And the Kansas City Chiefs, who are always looking to
add players for Patrick Mahomes and so that's also a possibility.
They're all all right there at the top, and there
is money on the tip for Cooper Cove. You'd have
to renegotiate his contract.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Now he's not the only but Big Day.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
If you like players you've heard of in the NFL
who would like a relocation situation. You were all joned
up on Monday because to Cleveland. We go the land
where Miles Garrett announced all those nice things said by
the Cleveland front office. Yeah, I don't care. I went out.

(09:28):
That's it. Yeah. So Miles Garrett announced he has requested
a relocation. He wants a job transfer. He wants to
enter the transfer portal and get out of Cleveland. The
announcement coming just a few days after Andrew Barry gave
Miles Garrett a manny and a petty on live microphones,

(09:51):
licking the toes of Miles Garrett and said the Browns
would not entertain the thought of trading Garret well. In
a prepared statement Miles Garrett released. Garrett said, as the
dominant pass rusher for the Browns, that his goal was
not to go from Cleveland to Canton, which is what

(10:13):
Andrew Berry the GM said. It has always been to
compete and to win a Super Bowl. So he says
a goal. The Browns, of course, are nowhere close to.
There's some high school football teams that are closer to
winning a Super Bowl than the Cleveland Browns at three
and fourteen and still handcuffed, handcuff to the creepy quarterback.

(10:38):
So what are the odds? What are the odds that
Miles Garrett ends up getting what he wants at the
Browns ben and knee and end up saying bye bye
to Miles Garrett. So I'm gonna w up the Mallard
Sportsbook odds on this. The Mallard Sportsbook odds minus through Now,

(11:01):
if you're not good at math, minus three hundred indicates
a seventy five percent chance that Miles Garrett is wearing
different colored laundry and a different colored plastic helmet when
they kick off the twenty twenty five NFL season. And

(11:21):
how deep here here's where we are? How deep is
Miles Garrett willing to go? We'd like to know, we'd
like to And what about the Browns? Right? Are they? Are?
The Browns locked in? The Browns are saying we haven't
changed our position now Cleveland. This is fascinating to me.
Cleveland is in such a deep dark place their football
team that there is said to be bipartisan support from

(11:46):
people that hate the Browns and people that like the Browns,
even Brown's loyalists, that Miles Garrett should be traded. The
team such a dumpster fire, that they should get rid
of Miles Garrett. And they have no ill will towards him,
and we're in the early stages of this drama orama

(12:06):
as it plays out as a high stakes, very emotional,
very emotional complex situation. Will they heated emotions? Will he
diffuse over time? Is there enough time for that to happen?
Stay tuned, developing hot dot dot dot Now last word,
So let's play Malord Matchmaker. We're gonna play Malard Matchmaker's

(12:28):
fun game.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
You can play.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Afyone, but I'm gonna play first. So Malor Matchmaker, where
should Miles Garrett look to end off this offseason? We've
already told you the Cooper Cup, Chargers, Bills, Chiefs obvious,
but what about Miles Garrett?

Speaker 3 (12:46):
He wants out.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Where should he go? So much like the process of
elimination we did earlier in this exercise, We're gonna immediately
eliminate the AFC heavyweight contenders, the Chiefs, the Bills, the Ravens.
Even though Cleveland is several thousand country miles away from
getting to that level, they will likely not play ball

(13:10):
with any of those teams. You eliminate them right off
the top. Boom, there's your haircut. So then you go
to the NFC and say all right, We'll wear's a
good possibility. And my Crystal Ball said car shopping, as
in a Ford or a Dodge and Ford Field. You
can stay in the Great Lakes region there the rust

(13:32):
Belt region and go up to the Lions who play
at Ford Field and have no defense, and if they
can trade a gaggle of draft picks and other promissory notes,
they can combine Miles Garrett and Aiden Hutchinson as a
dynamic duo on defense, and why not two impact players

(13:55):
until they get hurt. That'd be pretty good for a
couple of years in the mode little motown madness on defensive.
You're the Lions, why would you not go out and
do that? In the other option I mentioned car shopping
and of course Ford Field for the Lions. But how
about the Rams, right, because much like a Dodge, the

(14:16):
marketing slogan of Dodge built Ram tough, Miles Garrett, the
Rams have a blossoming defense that started to really click
the last part of the season. Now that's no guarantee
they're going to be that good next year, but you
had Miles Garrett, with all those young players around Miles
Garrett and one of the top coaches in the NFL

(14:37):
and Sean McVay, who you know is going to be
in the playoffs every year. Look at the division, the Niners,
their quarterback's been exposed now brock Perty. The Cardinals are
sending out alligator arms Murray and Seattle. They've got Geno
Smith at this point who stinks. So the Rams have
a great chance of being right back in the playoffs
again next year and with a little defense. You look

(14:59):
at on the NFC and nobody thinks Philadelphia is invincible.
Detroit certainly not. There's some good teams in the NFC,
but there's not like a great team. There's not Kansas
City in the NFC. That does not exist. It is

the Who Am I game where we pretend to be
somebody else. Terry in England, writing in Terry points out

(17:46):
that Ben your analysis of the NFC West was spot on.
Miles Garrett would be wise to join the Rams as
they are set up in that week division and the
Niners quarterback Rock Purty was exposed.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Well, very kind of you, Terry, to come around to that.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
I thought I didn't think I would get that from you,
But here we are. Absolutely. Ferg Dog says, thanks for
the shout out. Ben. I hope my pain helps tireract
dot Com sells some tires. Stuck in Sacramento says the

Donald Air run Donald and the super Bowl is fresh,

A plus and some chicken Alfredo on the monolog Are
you doing the show from the super Bowl? Flex that

(18:46):
media pass? That's funny, You're funny, you fee me. No,
I have gone the last couple years. I've paid my
own money most of that, so but not invited. Not
one of the cool kids.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Don't know, Ben, don't get it twisted. Don't get it twisted.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
It's such a pessimistic way of thinking. We are one
of the few lucky ones to get to stay here
and hold down the force.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Okay, you sound like a boss. We had in the
early days of Fox Sports trad You know, one year
they went to the Bahamas. Everyone at the network except
me went to the Bahamas and did shows from the Bahamas.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yes, yes, I am the.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Ugly, redheaded step child of Fox Sports Radio. Yes absolutely.
And the great thing is you see all the and
it's all like free everything. And a bunch of friends
of mine that are on radio row they're at the
Super Bowl and they send me photos of the debauchery
that is going on in the wings, and so I
don't I don't really partake in it. Uh you know, say, hey,

(19:49):
I get my own thing. I'm sitting at home on
my ass watching the Rockets and the Knicks. You know,
I'm like, I don't need that. Yeah. Anyway, Yeah, so
we are not at the super Bowl. We were not
deemed what's the terminology on that?

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Well, I'm not worthy.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
You know remember during COVID you had some people were
allowed to work and was that essential essential? Yeah, we're not.
This show is not essential to the to the company.
But we're still here.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
We're doing kids want to go get chicken and waffles instead?

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Ah no, I'm confasting. Well, you were just in New
Orleans anyway. You know, you didn't say amazing things about it.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
But I'd still go just to go, especially if the
company's paying for it.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Well exactly, And listen, these guys are got credit. They're
doing some good free loading. They're running up the expense account.
I would do the same thing about I was there,
but you know, hey, I can't complain. I got a
TV show. They sent me to Boston every year and
some other places, So I'd rather have that King Rory right,
since says Miles Garrett would fit in great in Green Bay.
Since Haslam already has a partial ownership in the Milwaukee Bucks,

(20:55):
I'm sure getting a deal done between the Packers and
Browns can easily be done, he says. There he goes says, uh,
your Phemie says, I don't see a show tweet.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's like flying blind.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
But slacker, slacker, ben slacker.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I thought I sent one ou I not send one out.
I think you did. Yeah I did. I mean it
wasn't like the greatest thing I ever sent out, but
it was like it was like the last second I
sent something out.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Yeah, that's right there. What are you blind to?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Foemi?

Speaker 3 (21:23):
And you go to the eye doctor? What's wrong with you?
Shame on you?

Speaker 2 (21:27):
My god? Who else to have? Page Dan Parito says
the gift will most likely arrive tomorrow. He says, the
lazy FedEx driver put it so that Purito is giving
us a gift here.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Yeah, I knew there was something coming. Yeah, he said
he's gonna send one monthly.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Really, oh man, we don't deserve that, We're not worthy
of that.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
There might also be a key line pie coming as well, well.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
There's a box, but I don't know what's it. There's
a box with my.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Sure there's no food in there. Need to go on
the fridge.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
My name was I know, it's very light. It looks
like it says medicine.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
I don't know, open it up.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
It's I don't know what's in the box.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
I love playing what's in the box?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
The box?

Speaker 4 (22:13):
What's in the box maybe.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Doesn't have a doesn't have a return address, be pollen.
Why would somebody send said medicines? And well it says
Amazon one medical. I don't know, some kind of Do
I need drugs? Maybe you got to have drugs?

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Oh, it's so as mr.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh this is probably for Cooper.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Crinkle the rapper a little more.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Who's sending you all this? Wait?

Speaker 6 (22:39):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (22:39):
What is it? Now? It's uh, there's a Bronco wallet.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
Is it saying my name on the box? Did you
just break federal law?

Speaker 2 (22:50):
It says Ben Mallard's show. I'm Ben Mallard. At to No,
there's no attention to it, says Ben Mallor. Why would
I grab something that has your name? My manything that
has my.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
Name on it was usually has your name because it
says Ben Maleor, show attention.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
This is only my name, man, all right, maybe it's
maybe it's for you.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
Then the problem is is when they put our names
on them, Ben, no one knows where to send them
right exactly, so they have to put Ben Maller on that.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, but if my name, I open my mail. I
know you guys like to open my mail, but I
opened my mail yet. And since you started working here
and I don't get to open my mail very much,
I've noticed that. I've noticed I don't get to really
get my mail and.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
See what it says.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Ben Mallor's show. That's more encompassing of everybody. No, it's
my show, there's well, no, but have to be specifically
to you. I got the Eddy treatment got. If something
no more Ben Malor show, the show would be gone,
it would be over. That would be it. There'd be
no more Ben Mallor. True.

Speaker 7 (23:46):
But but then if anybody wanted to send us mail,
they'd have to address it to whatever next show.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
The way you send mail is you send it with
you know, you put as you said, your name underneath
the Ben Malor show. That your name's not on here,
there's no your name. You can go look if you want,
I will promise your name.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Do you have a new Broncos wallet.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
I have a Bronco wallet.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
I have some light up chopsticks, orange and blue chopsticks.
Those are very important. Yeah, I've always wanted those. Will
Those are great. And then there's a lighter here. So
I think I think this is Uh.

Speaker 7 (24:22):

It could to be with you.

Speaker 6 (25:33):
Listen this situation in Cleveland with Miles Garrett. I got
to set. I can't foulk him for looking at their
trajectory and where it was supposed to be. Okay, you
call them the creepy quarterback. I call them you know somebody,
an individual that's fallen from great heights and he's try falling.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
He's fallen from great heights because he's the creepy quarterback.
Those two things are related.

Speaker 6 (25:56):
Benny had he had a year and a half off
to get his act together on the things that happened.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Why did a year Why did he have a year
and a half off?

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Okay, because he was out, then he was suspended, then
he was injured. So this is the last year.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Why are you defend. Why are you making excuses for him?
There's no excuse for his mon It sounds like it
sounds like you're making excuses for him. Why he sucks?
Just say it, he sucks.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
The fact that the Browns are in the basement and
the AFC North and all of these other teams.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Shan Watson is going to get Miles Garrett traded. Miles
Garrett wants to be traded because Deshaun Watson's bad at.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
His job, right, so you should get rid of Well,
they can't get rid of him, right because they they
gave him. I mean, he orchestrated the Godfather offer, getting
the guaranteed deal. But the point of the fact is
you can't fault somebody who's doing his job, i e.
Miles Garrett for being frustrated when overall a franchise made
some vets similar to what the Dallas Mavericks have been doing. Okay,

(26:53):
they should learn from what's going on in Cleveland, because
that's going to be there a lot as far as
I'm concerned. But Ben, let's stand talk. I'm gonna stay
on topic here. Okay, So I'm not mad at Miles Garrett,
but Cleveland, you know, as a franchise. You got to
go to line somewhere. So obviously we're not gonna We're
not gonna get rid of you, okay. And if you
want to look right down the street. In terms of
what's going on with the Cleveland Cavaliers who had a
situation with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, we've forgotten about that,

(27:15):
right because at the end of last year, Darius Garland
was ready to raise quit, didn't want to be in
Cleveland or play with Donovan Mitchell. What happened Kenny Atkinson
comes to town and that's distant history. Nobody remembers that
because they gonna got it rolling so here. That's my view, Cleveland,
you're messed up by the way this is. On the
basketball side. Letting Kyrie Irving go shouldn't happen. Lebron told
you to bring him back to camp. Darius Garland and Mitchell,

(27:37):
and Darius Darland and Donovan Mitchell are getting along. Cleveland Browns,
do not make another mistake and give up your best
player in Miles Garrett. Men, those fences bring him back.
And if anybody has to go, he needs to creepy
quarterback to you again. I try to give him some greats,
but what's going on in the field. I can't do
it anymore. Deshaun Watson, you're a backup and you're on
your way out of the NFL. If you don't get

(27:58):
it together, he's the one that needs to leave and
mouth Gret can be out there getting after the quarterback.
Then it's so great to be on the show. I'm
proud to work my way up in the malon militia.
I'll talk to you next time.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Oh, there he goes where he goes?

Speaker 8 (28:09):
On?

Speaker 2 (28:09):
He goes? Andre, very controversial caller Andre. People love him
or hate him. Supermarket Steve writes that he says, if
we end up having the meet and greet in Vegas
in July, we need to make sure we have it
at a place with air conditioning. But there was air conditioning.
It wasn't it was like the greatest air conditioning, but

(28:29):
there was. When it gets to one hundred and twenty
two degrees, this doesn't really matter how much air conditioning
you have.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Hot you know, don't I really appreciate it about that spot?

Speaker 2 (28:38):
What would that be?

Speaker 4 (28:40):
The lingering smell of cigarettes.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Just smelled like Vegas, didn't it smell?

Speaker 8 (28:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Yeah, it's not like a hole in the wall.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, those are the greatest places to hang out. Who
wants to hang out something's all clean and fancy. You
want to hang out with something that's got some wear
and tear to a little dirt. You know, you just
it feel like it's just more humans lived, the lived
communal experience of other human beings.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
You feel it, and then you don't have to worry
if you spill your liscerine on the carpet.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Well, you don't spill it. You drink it when you talk.
You can't spill it. If you're drinking it, you know,
you might gargle it a little bit. But that's that's
about that. My my goodness, unreal. Fee Me says, Oh no,
it's Andre. Man, he's very upset with Andre's phone.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
I don't know. It's fine, it was all right, let' see.
Can't read that.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
All right, let's go back to the phones. Blind Scott
is next on the North End in Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, Hey,
what's up?

Speaker 8 (29:43):
Ben? Yeah? Ben was on the Sports Hub in Boston.

obviously I've been emailing him for a long time. Like
Ben was on the show. It's a it's a And
if you don't know Boston, the traffic never quits here
like it takes forever, the driver everywhere. So radio's like

(30:05):
wicked popular. But Ben was on the show in the morning.
And these two guys I love on radio so much,

other because they never spoke before, it literally was one
of the greatest moments in my life. Like I can't,

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Warm up with the media are making this all about you, Scott.
I do want to say I had a good time
on that show. They were good guys. They liked our
they liked our show. They ripped every other overnight show.
They took shots at everyone to.

Speaker 8 (31:00):
Work on that show, but they won't have me on there,
maybe because the thing is, if I was to work
on that show, people would start making fun of me,
and they don't want that we made fun of on
their show. But I would love to work in radio
like you guys. I think you guys all do it.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, well, yeah, thank you, Scott. It was fun to
do that.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
And told some old stories about callers that used to
be on the show back in the day.

Speaker 8 (31:20):
And the funny put is they listened to our show.
I didn't think they listened. And these people really do listen,
like they think they think the show is really good.
I mean they do.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
There's a lot of listen scuy, I mean a lot
of I meet a lot of these people. You'd be
shocked who actually listen to the show. It's fascinating to me.
I don't know why anyone would listen to the show,
but a lot of people do.

Speaker 8 (31:41):
You do a good job. I don't know, Like, why
would you want to be in New Orleans right now?
Though it's a dump down there? You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
I just want to I want to cost the money.
I want to cost the company money. Mainly I just
want to. I want to. I want free trips is
what I want. That's it. I really don't have any.

Speaker 8 (31:57):
I like it. How that guy ripped other radio guys.
You can't really rip other radio guys. It's a thing,
you know, So it's it's not good.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
You can't. You can't rip other red you know you
can who you want me to rip? Go ahead, name somebody?

Speaker 8 (32:08):
Oh, oh, well, I liked it when he was talking
about that guy, David david Stein, the religious Yes.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
David Stein was Oh he actually worked here. Fred didn't
know that, but David worked here and then he at
some point he had like a religious I don't know
what happened, but he became very religious. He wasn't like
that when he first started here, but he did, and
that was his things.

Speaker 8 (32:28):
But you would win on that show. You could do
four hours of that show after this show when they
go on vacation, you should do that. And you know
those boxes that are coming that Lorena keeps getting, like
some of that should be from my likeness too, you know,
like people can send me stuff to the studio.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
You are are you asking? You're asking for free stuff?

Speaker 2 (32:46):
You would like candy and uh stuffed animals, and I want.

Speaker 8 (32:51):
To I want to go to Vegas too. I always
worried about the air conditioned situation. Maybe we could rent
a little portable one and just bring it in.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
You're not going to go to Vegas? What do you
talking about? You said, you said while we were in
Vegas you were gonna go, and you didn't show up there.
You're not gonna show my dog my dog.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Well, now you don't have the dog anymore, right, the
dog's gone.

Speaker 8 (33:09):
I can't work dogs anymore. So now I'll be there.
I like, I like, I can't wait to be there.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
And Loraina is looking forward to meeting you. She's excited.

Speaker 8 (33:18):
Yeah. Yeah, want to meet Lorena so bad. Like, I
don't like it.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
You're wasting time. You're you're rambling on here, Scott. I'm
going to hang up and you call back. I'm sure
you will anyway, whether I tell you to call back
or not. It is the Ben Malor Show, Bozo, the
district says, so public service notice. If anyone sends weed
to Cooper Loop, do not mail it to the Ben
Mahlor Show. Uh yeah, well exactly. Coop's got a po

(33:45):
box for you. Why would anybody do that.

Speaker 7 (33:47):
That's what that's weird that like, why would you even
I would someone send weed?

Speaker 2 (33:50):
I would I would not allowed.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
I don't know you're allowed to said weed in the mail?

Speaker 8 (33:53):
Right?

Speaker 3 (33:53):
That would be red flags? Yeah, catch you immediately that.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Nobody would even tweet that. That would be wrong. That
would be wrong to do that.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
They should not do that at all.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
So, the Philadelphia Eagles are in the superbol and their
owner says he wants the city of Philadelphia to host
their own Super Bowl. Eh.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
He wants all.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
The media elites to come to Philadelphia to eat tasty
cakes and cheese steak and enjoy themselves in Philadelphia for
the big game. Now there's one problem. There's one little
little itty bitty problem with that, and that would be
the weather in Philadelphia. The NFL normally does not go

(34:40):
cold weather. Every once in a while they will throw
a bone to someone. The high temperature is actually kind
of warm today in Philadelphia. High temperature to day forty
six degrees on Sunday, though temperature in the forties Saturday
snow in Philadelphia. So essentially, what Jeffrey Lurry, the owner
of the Eagles, is saying he wants Philadelphia to host

(35:00):
super Bowl, which means they have to get a new stadium,
which means they need taxpayer money because they need a
dome dome, the dome dome dome. Yeah, they got to
build a dome otherwise they can't get the super Bowl
where they played an outdoor super Bowl in New York
a number of years ago. And so they're, Ey, we just.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Get a dome here, we can build we can build one.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Why not beautiful Philadelphia in February? What could possibly go wrong?
How much would that cost? New stadium? Was that four billion,
five billions something like that?

Speaker 4 (35:34):
They might need to ask for donations, Ben.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
No, No, well they will get donations from the taxpayers
of Philadelphia, will They will donate money and a lot
of money. Anyway, It is the Ben Mahlers show time
now for the who am I? Game?

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Is where we pretend to be somebody else? As we
call it the who MI game?
