Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka laca. It's our number to our number two.
And Trey hendrickson his returning He's back going to Bengals
camp today. It's being reported as a good faith gesture.
How do you read this one? John Gruden visiting Detroit's
training camp this week, he compared Lions quarterback Jared Goff
(00:23):
to Joe Montana. How does that one sound to you?
And Devantae Adams is calling Ram coach Sean McVay a quote, mastermind.
That is blank. We will fill in the blank and
all of the blanks right now on this Wednesday here
it is our number two, changing locations. But what does
(00:47):
it mean? The great mystery of it all? Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, stuff face as we
believe the mantra, no sleep, just speak coast to coast,
border the motor and beyond on the vast and blaringly
(01:12):
powerful microphones of FSR emmating live from the puzzle as
we put the puzzle pieces together on the Fox Sports
Radio studios as drawn up by the ostrich Ant. Unless
it's not and this portion of the Ben malaserm be
(01:33):
possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq, as
approved by mister nice Guy. For over forty years, ty
Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation. Ti iraq dot com the Way Tire
(01:53):
Buying show be So our lead this hour is from Ohio,
not Kentucky, even though the airport for the city of
Cincinnati is in Kentucky. No, no, no, you can't say no,
you can't say northern Kentucky, Ohio. It's from Ohio. So
(02:14):
it's about the Bengals. That's a football team, not a
great one. So if you haven't heard the latest on
this stories we talk about the news of the day,
this continues to be a developing story. So we've learned
now that Trey Hendrickson, the storm pass rusher for the
Cincinnati football team, Trey Hendrickson, is planning to report to
the Bengals today Today He's gonna show up, thus ending
(02:40):
his holdout and transitioning not that kind of transitioning into
a hold in that's right, a holding Apparently not any
closer to a deal. It's not like there's some kind
of agreement in place. Now the reporting says that by
showing up to camp, Trey Hendrickson, the key part of
this will stop getting fifty thousand dollars a day finds
(03:05):
chi Ching Chiching. So now, based on the narrative, I
always loved the narrative. I was like, well, who's leaking
the story? Where'd the story come from? So the story
that's being passed on to the messenger pigeons otherwise known
as the useful idiots in the media, the story is
that it's a good faith gesture. It's a good faith
(03:28):
gesture by Trey Hendrickson, and it will try to jump
start negotiations that he is the bigger man. So let
us discuss the question, Trey Hendrickson, who can be yours
if the price is right? Trey Hendrickson returning to the
ben Gals going to Cincinnati's camp. Is this a good
(03:49):
faith gesture as it is being reported? How do you
read into this one? So I've got Saint Poppy Van
Winkle and Huntingmoon, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to put the biscuit
in the basket is what we're going to do. So
number I said number, number, number. So all of this
(04:19):
is alt rock, old school alt rock. Little miss can't
be wrong, little miss camp be wrong. You know the
spin doctors. But if you're old, you know who that is.
It's a good faith gesture. That's the way it's being reported.
That's a good faith gest It's cute, you think the
way it's being reported that Hendrickson when he shows up
(04:39):
to Bengals camp, he's going to walk into Zach Taylor's
office there with a Hallmark card and say, let's let's
make a deal. It's it's not you, it's me, and
I'm back, and you know it's all good. No, the
reason he is showing up, and I don't blame him.
I'm not ripping Trey Hendrickson. The reason he's showing up
is he's getting fifty g's a day. Fifty grand a day. Now,
(05:05):
I'd like to make enough money. I know I won't
do it here, but I'd like to make enough money
where you can be fined fifty grand a day. That
would be great, that would be wonder. You can afford it.
So this is not oh, you're being a cynical talk shows.
This is not some kind of gesture. Okay, this is math,
(05:27):
is what it is. Right, good faith. I love that
they're reporting good faith. That's so so wonderful. Right, it's
more like a good luck on having to pay my
bills because everything's been budgeted and all that, and I've
got an American Express bill I got to take care
of and five miss days. You can do the math.
That's my math is correct. That's two undred and fifty
(05:48):
thousand dollars that this guy has lost. Might be even
more than that, but at this particular rate. If I'm
advising Trey Hendrickson, okay, I say, well, why not just
go into the Bengals facility and light your cigar with
you know, the one hundred dollars bills, and just because
you're burning money is what you're doing. You're not going
(06:10):
to get that money back, and so good luck. So
he got dragged into camp Hendrickson, buy his wallet. And
again the spin Spinny MC spin, spinning like a dradle,
is that he is the patron saint, that he's doing
the things the right way, Trey Hendrickson, and he wants
to be the leader, and he's the bigger man. He's
(06:33):
trying to restart the conversation. IX nay on the narrative.
This obviously came from Trey Hendrickson. We always like to
look at the well, not from him directly, but from
the people around him who leaked the story. Why would
the Bengals say that. Bengals wouldn't say that, well, you're
the bigger man. No, they're gonna say we're the bigger
you know, we want to offer you a fair deal.
Youn't want to take the deal. That's what they're going
(06:54):
to say. So it's pee out. What's things kind of
like that sweaty socking in the locker room. That's what
it smells like. Dirty sucks. So again he's showing up
because the way the rules are in the NFL and
the CBA, they have taken the balls off of the holdout.
There's no real leverage there other than losing money. Like
a lunatic to get fined fifty thousand dollars a day,
(07:16):
so losing fifty grand a day, that's a mandatory fine.
There is no waiver on that. There used to be
a waiver, so it's like who cares to just wave it?
At the end, there there's no forgiveness none whatsoever. That
is the new normal, of course, been that way for years.
It's not twenty fourteen anymore. It's twenty twenty five, and
so there's no opportunity, there's no work around on that.
(07:39):
So Hendrickson in the Game of Chicken, he blinked, blinky, blinky, blinky.
He blinked, plain and simple, you know it. He blinked.
And so we're supposed to believe that he's doing the
team some kind of great mitzvah here. Yeah, So he's
under contract for I don't know how he's going to
pay his bills at sixteen million dollars. I think we
should help him out somehow. So what this means is
(08:03):
the Bengals are going to continue to do things the
Bengals do, because why would they change. They're the Bengals.
So they're gonna slow play this much like a previous
hour we talked about in a previous hour of this show,
we talked about Jerry Jones, who slow plays everything. Well,
the Bengals will do the same thing. And the only
one really sweating here is Trey Hendrickson. So I know
(08:24):
there's dumb people that fall for everything, but I would
advise you if you think that's legit, that he's the
bigger man. He's showing up because he wants to get
a deal done and that's why he's no. It's not
good faith again, it's called I'm tired of bleeding money.
It's a lot of money. You hold out, you pay
and that's the cost. And so he wants a new deal.
(08:47):
But right now he's showing up because he's trying to
stop the hemorhagery of Green, not blood Green. That's it.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Page two, we go to Motown, Motown Blues we go
and and that's where the Lions who have been on
the brink of a big breakthrough that were in the
NFC Championship game, something that had never happened in my life.
They were there a couple of years back, and now
they have the seal of approval from Chucky. That's right,
(09:15):
John Gruden. We talked about this a little bit yesterday,
John Gruden visiting Detroit training camp. So there's another gem
from John Gruden. Not only did he sing the praises
of the Lions, he also compared Jared Goff, the Detroit quarterback,
to Joe Montana. Do you see this. He used the
comp that golf in Montana are similar. So how does
(09:39):
that sound to you? How does that one sound to you?
So I'll go first here because I have a microphone
on wet headphone, so I'll get to go first. So
I love that John Gruden strolled in to the Lions
training camp there and it's like he had the banana
in his tailpipe, like he was back on Monday Night
Football back in the day. Anything John Gruden says about
(10:01):
quarterbacks you take with a grain of salt, just a
little grain of salt. This is the same John Grude,
if I'm not mistaken, who once had a love affair
with Nathan Peterman. Remember that, Yeah, that's right, Nah, Yes,
Nathan Peterman who famously tossed not one, not two, not three,
and out four five interceptions in one half of a
(10:22):
regular season NFL game. You talk about unbreakable records. Five
interceptions in one half of an NFL game, and John
Gruden was out there, you would have thought Peterman was
God's gift to the quarterback position. Cruden always treats every
quarterback like he's unwrapping, And we know Gruden loves to
unwrap stuff because that's all he does at that barstool
(10:44):
thing he unrest. Some of my friends send me videos
of John Gruden just getting boxes and boxes of free
crap to unwrap. He's acting like that kid on YouTube
that gets paid just to open stuff. Anyway, He's unwrapping
a like a vintage bottle of Pappy van Winkle, the
you know, the bourbon whiskey, very expensive there, and he's
holding it up and then you really, well, John, that's
(11:05):
actually not that's not what it's actually like a warm
can of bud Light. Well no, but John's holding it
up like it's this amazing thing. But every man, woman,
and child who pays any attention, any attention knows when
it comes to Jared Goff, do I even need to
go here? Like Jared Gouff's not Joe Montana, Like Jared
Goff's not even qualified to be Joe Montana's mechanic at
this particular point in time. You know what Jared Goff is.
(11:28):
He's better than I thought. I'll say that when he
first started, I didn't think he was very good. Now
I think he's this generation's Alex Smith. He's this generation's
Alex Smith. He's relatively safe outside of the big moment
because he'll choke. He's relatively safe, he's somewhat reliable against
subpar or average competition, but he's never really spectacular. He's
(11:51):
never really spectacular. And this guy, this guy, if you
spoon feed him the playbook, he'll get you some touchdowns
and whatnot. And you tell him what to do and
where to throw the ball and all that, and just
don't tell him to throw deep, because if you tell
him to throw deep, he can't do it. He'll throw
it short and throw it short, and he'll check down
action from Jared Goff there, check down Charlie, and then
(12:13):
of course he'll look like he just solved a Rubric's
cube because he just checked down. And the thing about
Golf is he's he doesn't elevate a team like that's
the point of demarcation for quarterbacks. Do you elevate your
your teammates? And Golf doesn't. That's the way that we're
(12:34):
talking about guy. Everything around him is pristine. I've got
good players, a random, good coaching. Fine. Golf's like a child,
like a little kid that won't eat unless you cut
the crust off the bread. You know, we've all been there, right,
normally we grow out of that. He's sell a lot
of uncrustables, so I guess we don't grow out of
it anyway. John Gruden though, the master, the master over
(12:58):
the years of football gas lighting. It's great. So it's
an odd thing because Gruden is suing the NFL. It's
getting bounced around the court system the lawsuit from Gruden.
Yet at the same time he's supposed to be persona
non grata because he's emails gunn On He's sends some
things you're not supposed to say, and he said, you know,
(13:20):
you hit every ism possible and all that. So he
got banned from polite society. But yet he shows up
all over the place like the NFL. Like the people
that coach in the NFL, they don't have a problem
with John Gruden. It's like it's at a higher level.
They have a problem with you, like Gruden's How many
teams has Gruden shown up to and been part of
training camp? Saints, Lions, a couple others too, Ravens. I
(13:46):
think he shut up with the Ravens. I'm probably missing some,
but he still talks wax poetic about the Spider too.
Why Banana he talks about it like it's the Dead
Sea Scrolls and you believe it when he starts yapp
and he'sa likes going on Spider too, Why Banana? And
you're okay, thank you, John, And so he's not really
(14:07):
like when it comes to quarterbacks, Grooton's not really analyzing
the quarterbacks and all that. He's like, it's like he's
trying to sell you on a timeshare and it's not
a place you want a timeshare, you know, it's like
you don't go otherway. He's like, oh, this is really good.
Ah yeah, I got a really good breakfast. The eggs
are amazing. The eggs, Benedict are so good, my god.
(14:28):
So he's in many ways. One of my favorite all
time quotes is from a guy named W. C. Fields
get a street named after him in la early Hollywood
vaudeville comedian actor. And his quote was, if you can't
dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull Pucky. We'll
(14:49):
clean that up with Bullpucky. And so Joe Montana is
a like a Ferrari, an old Ferrari, but it's still
a Ferrari. And then you got Jared Goffi is like
a Honda court. Now more people buy Honda Accords than Ferraris.
You'll see more Honda Accords on the road than you
will the Ferrari because they're cheaper, and that's why they
(15:09):
is our final point. We go to La and Jared
Goff's old team Rams. You're gonna ram it all day,
you can ram it all night. Now Rams coach Sean
McVay has been given a new label by DeVante Adams.
He said Sean McVay is a quote mastermind, Oh, mastermind.
So that is the quote there during preseason practices, Adams
(15:34):
going on and on, slobbering all over the RAMS coach,
talking about the college like camaraderie, the RAM facility, the organization,
Sean saying he's being rejuvenated. That's been rejuvenated. So DeVante
Adams will sum it up like this, calling Sean McVay
a mastermind is blank fill in the blank. So I
(15:59):
love Sean. My word is going to be blasphemy though,
and the word I'm using blasphemy because it's really a
shot at the Raiders more than anything. He's like he's praising,
he's praising his coach. At the same time he's really
saying how bad it was with the Raiders because that
was the team he went to training camp with when
he was in Vegas the last couple of years, and
he finished with the Jets last year. But it's really
(16:20):
just taking a shot. So you're like a Raider fan,
that's blasphemy. But my other word would be hontingmooners. That
would be my other word here because as in orgo
the hunting moon period, you know, like when you start
a new job and exciting and you're fired up, and yeah,
you think, oh man, I'm gonna rise up in the
(16:40):
company and they're gonna pay a lot of money and
all this stuff, and it's gonna be I'm gonna run
the whole company. And then you realize someday they'll never
do that. But the honeymoon period, you don't. You don't
get to that point. At the honeymoon period, you're like
everything's great. You're seeing rainbows and you're dreaming of lollipops
and there's a unicorn over there, and you know John Gruden,
what I think Gruden's good? Do I think he's Einstein?
(17:00):
I don't think he's Einstein. I don't think he's Einstein.
On a headset. Is he one of the top three
coaches in the NFL? Absolutely? Absolutely right. But right now
with the Ramsy and with DeVante Adams, he's like on
a college campus at ram practice there and it's kumbaya.
It's all good, and it's gets some ayahuasca and we're
(17:21):
on our way, and I think I've been to training
camp Overviere's at this point, there's a lot of grab ass,
a lot of grab ass on the practice field. And
they used the words all those words culture, energy, loved.
Every team uses the same verbage every team. They talk
about culture and energy. So it's give him a motivational
pep talk and all that stuff. But soon enough, the
(17:44):
test drive, the test drive turns into race day, and
on race day that is when the rubber meets the
road and you start seeing some cracks and the tires
and all that stuff. Now, DeVante Adams, at this point,
I'm not convinced. Right, Davonte Adams, he's doing a high
wire act. At this point, I'll believe it when I
(18:04):
see it. And even if he gets off to a
good start, I got to see it over the full season, right,
because he's walking in cleats on a high wire tiptoeing
over a pit of vipers, a pit of vipers that
are being fed daily by father time he's crossed that
thirty mark. I think he's I believe he's thirty one now,
(18:24):
could be thirty two. Demonte Adams. But that cliff for
NFL receivers. The thing about the cliff for NFL receivers,
it comes very fast and there's no warning, Like you know,
right now, there's a big tsunami warning supposed to the
tsunami is going to hit the West coast here in
less than an hour. As we're doing this in real time,
and there's a warning, there's warnings I expected to hit
(18:45):
here and coming up and you know, less than an hour. People,
you know, some people think, oh my god, it could
be brutal. Other people like, this is ridiculous, nothing going,
nothing can happen. There's warning, there's warning, that's my point.
And there's no warning. When a receiver just completely loose
is like one second you're a game changer, you're making
big plays, and the next you're in a desert and
(19:07):
you're like, what happened? I understand what happened? I don't know,
so I get it. Davante wants to believe, and I'd
love for him to be wonderful. I know Pooka the
coup is gonna be good. I don't know about Davante.
I'm gonna show me state of mind. I gotta see you.
You got to show me. I need to believe in you.
So you got to show me what you can do
and press me and we'll see what happens. We get
(19:29):
to the later part of November and going to December,
and when your hamstrings start barking and you're down in
the fourth quarter against a divisional opponent and you can't
get separation off the line anymore. And you got Sean
McVay over there, who's a genius, and he's holding a
bag of icy hot and he's got some essential oils
(19:49):
and he hands it to you, and there's a there's
a gift package. It's got the pharmacy great ibuprofen. All
that right there, all right is the Ben Mahler Show.

of the great cover ups in sports history. Other people

ashore along the coastline. What yeah, yeah, I saw a
video of that. Yeah, yeah, to show me. I don't

(22:55):

(23:16):
it's wild eight point eight magnitude earthquake in Russia. So man,
that videos pretty wild. There's drone footage of Russia too,
you can check that out. Man's pretty crazy, pretty wild.
Biggest earthquake in fourteen years in the in the world.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So there you go. Keep an eye on that. And uh,
I got my floating devices, so I'll be ready to

show from the dinghy. We'll do a remote from the dingy.
People have called me a dinghy, so that'll be perfect.
We'll just we'll just do it that way. That's how
it's gonna go. So there you go. All right, see
(23:55):
what do we have here on the ax? Any any
witty comments? Anything good? See just job in Cincinnati says,
spot on with your Trey Hendrickson. Take this is the
Bengals best opportunity to win a Super Bowl and they're
going to blow it offense is loaded. You need a
defensive playmaker. That man is Trey. Stop pussy footing around
(24:15):
Mike Brown and pay the man, he says, Shannon and
moy he says, if you ever attended, he says, have
you ever attended the Hall of Fame game? Or would
you ever? If you have nothing? So I'm not attended
the Hall of Fame game. Eddie who used to work here,
has attended the Hall of Fame game, and he went
to the did the whole Hall of Fame weekend. I
don't think he's going this weekend, though maybe he has.
(24:37):
The Chargers are playing. Did you see Ben? Did I
see what it is? His wife's birthday? Today?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Nuts?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Well, yesterday was his wife? Today's Yeah? Great, Karen Garcia,
he's not listening. He goes to bed like it's six o'clock.
Now he's an old man. He doesn't stay up anymore.
Have some fun indoors with yourself. Yeah, Bill writes in
he who's your Bill? He's isn't hitting the mini bars
as a honeymoon period. It's like the Pacers thinking they
(25:06):
have a chance without Halliburton. That is correct. Your pacers
are cooked. Green Bay Gobbler writes in says, Haha, these
spin doctors just played Green Bay with Gin Blossoms and
Blues Traveler. Is that true? Wow? So I have a theory,
as you know, Green Bay Gobbler, that you have reached
(25:27):
the end of the road. If you're a performer and
you're doing like the Native American casino circuit. I would
also say, if you're playing green Bay, you know, my
brother lives in just Delver and Appleton, so I can
say that my brother lives in Wisconsins. If you're playing
Green Bay, so wow, so the Blue, he says. Here
if he's not lying, he says, but that's a vintage
(25:48):
group there, so you get the Gin Blossoms, Blues Traveler
and the Spin Doctors all came through Green Bay. There,
sweet party outside it was ninety degrees. Asked to go,
and I said, hell no, I don't have a tsunami
update though, He says, A's right. We're fine, We're all right,
and if it's bad, we'll just leave. That's it. We're good.
(26:12):
We get the rest of the night off. We also
are located right next to the tallest building in all
of Sherman Oaks, all of the San Fernando Valley. Yeah.
So I think we'd actually have a really good chance
if we went into the yelevent Oh. We have good views. Yeah, yeah,
we could see everyone drowning around us. Be solid. Yeah,
Bill's and the security guards sleeping. So we just don't care.
Bill's monster, says Trey Hendrickson holding out this. Derek says,
(26:33):
Trey Henderson, holding out like he's waiting for the Bengals
to invent money. At this rate, Joe Burrow might have
to start a GoFundMe to keep the defense together. Well,
the Bengals have plenty of money. It's a family business though,
So if you take money away from the family business
and give it to Hendrickson, then you don't have as
much money. And then you need that money for yachts
(26:54):
and you need I mean that's what you need. You
need the money. It's your money, you need that, Yes, absolutely,
all right, let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
to Andre who is in the Commonwealth and his dog Willis. Hello, Andre, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Good evening, Ben, It's nice to be with you.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Might not be so much from Willis tonight. You already
went for the walk, so he's kind of calming down.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
And you know, and and well we'll see Willis barked
enough in your previous call to last the rest of
the week.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Yeah, he'll be back. He'll be back in full effect
as we Uh we got one more a couple more
days before the weekend, so he'll be he'll be back
in full effect. But Ben, I didn't want to touch
on the situation with the Bengals, right, and uh, you know,
the owner kind of holding the line. You know, I'm
saying he's only going to pay so much, you're gonna
try to do it on the cheap. Well, the end
result of that, as you know, with Benny versus the penny,
(27:49):
it's going to be Joe Burrow second straight year missing
the playoffs. Okay, because the margins are that there are
that tight. So if I'm the Cincinnati Bengals, never mind
the fact that they were playing outside for all those years,
had the outdoor stadium. You know, finally they came inside
like a year or two, aging and modernized.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well, when did the Bengals playouts? They still play outside.
They're not a dome. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
No, they practice facility.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Oh I thought you were. When did they build a
dome for their stadium?
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Yeah, they're outside. You know.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I love about the Bengals though, andre They still have
to cross the street to get from the locker room
to the practice facility. So there's always video of them
crossing the street, which is very funny to me that
they couldn't build the practice facility near the locker room.
They have to cross the street. I think that's just hilarious.
And Cincinnati last year when they had Trey Hendrickson and
(28:39):
all that and the high fullutin defensive They were twenty
fifth in the NFL. They could be twenty fifth in
the NFL could weasel word, but they finished somewhere around
there again, and they were flirting with the plus. They
always get off the bad starts. The Bengals every year,
they sucked the first four weeks of the year. They're
not very good, and then they settle in and they
just have to outscore everybody. You get good, I mean,
(29:01):
Burl's good. Though. You can outscore most mediocre teams. They
can outscore them, except.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
He's get a murderer's road division bend with four solid
defenses that also have offensive components. So that's why I'm saying, yeah, okay,
you can. You're not going to get away on the
Chief this year. Never mind the fact that the Browns,
who are low key dumpster fire. I'm not going to
talk about the creepy quarterback.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Then, but they have a well, yeah you said a
my murder division. Pittsburgh's average. Every year, they're not great,
they're average, and Cleveland blows So okay, you're got Baltimore
and that's really the only one. Baltimore is good in
the regular season. Then playoff. Lamar takes over and they
suck yees.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
But the angles are one dimensional bend, which leads me
to my summary point here. First of all, listen, then
they just spent sixty two million dollars in Georgia to
build a high school football stadium.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Okay, you've seen it.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
I've seen it, right, George, you're trying to catch up
with Texas. Sixty two million dollars on a high school stadium.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That is a good use of funds. Andre, that's a
good use. That's a wonderful use of funds for a
high school football stadium. You don't need to pay anyone else.
Just boom, there you go, outstanding exactly.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
They're trying to keep up with Textis. But Bengals, further
of a crying out loud, pay this one player so
you have at least a shot on defense. See you
can get Joe Burrow an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
To make the play.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
I'm saying the time Ben.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
All right, there he goes Andrea. Well, the Bengals, if
they get off to a bad start this year, that
would be impressive. They open up with Cleveland. Now it
is in Cleveland, but still, come on, the Browns don't
have a quarterback. Then they play at home against Jacksonville,
which is always mediocre and all that. So you gotta
win at least one of those games, right, don't you?
(30:43):
You got? I mean you should be two and oh
to begin the year. Whether you cover the spread or not,
they will be favored. I would say they'd be favored
in both those games. I think Cincinnati wil be a
slight favorite. I mean the lines probably aren't. Now I'm
guessing the Bengals, without looking are a slight favorite over
Cleveland in Week one and then jackson Bill they will
be favorite at home against the Jaguars in that game.
(31:04):
If you believe in the power of the points bread
now now, King Roy says, the real question is can
your building with stand a whale striking it from the tsunami?
Thank you so? Probably so we'll find out. I'm making
any we have good stories to tell. Viva los Vicki says.
The Lions are currently a two point favorite in the
(31:27):
Hall of Fame game, which is tomorrow tomorrow on NBC
there in Canton, Ohio two point favorite the total of
thirty three and a half. Okay, so a total of
thirty three and a half will see what that's all.
That's what a poppy in sundyego. Hello, Poppy, Poppy, Poppy.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Actually looks wow. I had a dream the other night.
And I don't want to sound like Tony and the
Barrier with the dreams you think dreams and everything like that.
But I had a dream and on that dream I
saw Ouzy Ogbourne. He was right there and he was
talking to you Ben Mallard my man sword and uh
they asked him what do you think of Ben Mallor
(32:13):
And Ozzy said you suck and there was like camera yeah,
and you know what, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
What, Ozzie said, I'm dead. Why are you bothering me?
That's what he said.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
No, No, rest in PA's got good old Ozzie, you know.
And then they said, hey, we got to take another take.
Stop back there, and they're like, Ozzy, you can't say this.
The cameras are rolling. You gotta say that. And then
you were just laughing with.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
It with you know what.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
I know what, I love, Poppy, you think anyone cares
about this? I love that. I love that you stayed
on hold and you think that anyone cares about this.
I'm fascinated by your mind, your mind fascinates me.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
No, of course did he love it? And I woke
up and I'm like, what's like? I was like before
that happened, I was ozzy. I said, what do you
think about this? I just woke up and I'm like, wow,
I'm like, what's going on? But I think it's a
message from.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Don't they do that on Coast to Coast, Dream to
Dream or something like that? And I think they do
that on coast. You're calling the wrong show, You're calling
the sports show.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
It is not no, no, But what I'm trying to
say is this, get to the point, right, get into
the point.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yes, but you've been on the air for ninety ninety
plus seconds. You've been on the air. You're coming close
to two minutes of airtime, and what are we are doing?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Well?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Then, all those people they had yesterday, they were Oh,
they were so good. Oh my god, I love them.
They're all they're they're all in panic mode because of
the tsunami. No, they were great. Those were such good callers, ma'am.
Were they amazing? One of the great nights we've had
on the show. New voices, Oh my god, not you
annoying regulars.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
They got away Ben. But what this tells me is
this on the dream to the conclusion is that I
don't I don't.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Care, all right, I really I don't care. I please
my God, all right, mister Luciano says, regarding Andrea's call,
says another a great call by Andre vangals will win
the division. Mister Luciano says, Justin disagrees, as Andrea is
ignorant and an a hole at this point, I would
(34:16):
not be surprised if he ate Willis. Really I don't
think he'll eat Willis. That's gonna happen. Mister irrigation says,
do you play darts? Double in, double out? I have
played darts. I think I played two times, maybe three
(34:36):
in my life. But you wouldn't say you play darts.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
No.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
I was at a bar one time in New York
and one time in La and I was drinking, which
I don't normally do, and they had a dart board
and somebody asked if I wanted to play darts, and
so I played darts and that was like a very
brief thing. I was eating peanuts. I remember there was
a little bowls of peanuts. So I ate those. Yeah,
sounds about right, and Uh didn't win, did you. Well,
(35:02):
I don't recall who won or lost. I mean we
were just you know, it was just for fun. It
was just entertainment. You would tell us if you hit
a bulls eye. I don't know what you're talking about.
One of my nicknames is Benny Bullseye though, that is
one of my nicknames. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
As we pressed on, so the show Hey Otani Gambling
Scandal becoming a TV series. It is in the works.
(35:23):
It is in the works. Project will be written by
someone named Alex Convery. They say the air screenwriter. I
don't know who that is. I'm sure it's a big deal,
I guess. Anyways, so Otani going to be documented his interpreter,
I'm sure he was the only one. Otani was just stupid,
just a moron. Had no idea that his interpreter was
(35:45):
betting millions of dollars or whatever it was, hundreds of
thousands of dollars on sports and just was clueless and
no time did Otani put any bets down. And fascinating
fascinating TV show Lego scripted TV series about the gambling scandal,
which did not take down Sho Hal Tani. Unfortunately, if
(36:08):
he was a pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians, he would
have been in trouble. But star with the Dodgers International
Man of Mystery, not a problem, Not a problem. Time

June thirteenth, Francisco Lindor and Blank have the two lowest

That is the Insta trivia. What is the answer? And
let's see does anyone know the answer? Let's see here,
Bugsy Siegel, the man that Dave us Vegas from Mister
(38:01):
Luciano Page Down, Shakira from Bobby and Florida, Rusty Stob
guessed by courtesy Flesher, Mario Mendoza, the Mendoza line from
Eke and Roseville, Minnesota, Hope Solo who is forty four
today and not Solo Mister Irrigation going with Angel Reese
(38:21):

Sally Jesse Raphael There's a Blast in the Past from

legend Willie Mays Hayes. Well he was really good, really

Betty from King Rory are do you have an answer?
It is not Jambino from Perito? Do you have an answer?
Got to be Steven Tyler? Is it Steven Tyler? No,
that is incorrect. The correct answer is the polar Bear,
(39:05):
Pete Alonzo of the Mets. So two Mets, the worst
of the nash Lake since two and thirteenth. Here we go,
Here we go, Here we go? I said, how about?
I said, here we go? Out is one big quote out?
Got got go? Well, you talked about him earlier.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
John Gruden, who was at Lions camp as a consultant,
told reporters that hopefully he's not done coaching and that
he's quo about to make a comeback.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Yeah, Ben, will it be in the NFL? Well, this
is anything's probably, but Donald Trump's back as president. Anything's possible, right,
and it is conceivable. Cruden said, we talked about this
in yesterday show he's depending on a friend and one
of his coaching buddies to hire him. He's suing the NFL,
so until that's dropped, I don't see him getting a job.
But yet, Brian Flores has a job, and he's also
(39:51):
part of a lawsuit against the NFL, So I'd say
there's a fifteen percent chance Cruden returns next.
Speaker 6 (39:57):
And it's being suggested that forty nine Ers head coach
Shanahan could be on the hot seat this upcoming season.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Ben, do you think that's true? Uh? Well, yeah, I
mean Shanahan might just leave because there were rumors he
wanted the Bears job and that he had put some
feelers out. So yeah, it Brock pretty sucks. I could
see him leaving next.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Charles Barkley was recently asked which teams he thinks has
the best had the best offseason in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Barkley singled out the Nuggets and the Rockets. Is he right?
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Going on?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
It's the Clippers. They got Bradley Beal, they got Chris Paul,
A couple of legends added to the clip droid. So
that's the answer. That's it. He failed. This a win,
that's a win.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Laurette.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
He meant fail as the new win in twenty twenty five.
That's a win by me. I won Winner, I won
ferg Dog. Put that on my board.
