Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's a small world, after all, it's a small small world.

Speaker 2 (00:05):

A very happy, very happy early Tuesday, as we are
doing this in relatively real time here and you can
listen whatever you want. You can listen during the morning
or in the afternoon or evening. It's the magic of podcasting.
But here in our number two, can you decode what
message general manager Mickey Loomis is sending about the future

(00:28):
of running back Alvin Kamara in Narlans And if the
Saints finally pull the ripcord on Alvin Kamara, where does
he land. We'll take a look at that as we
dust off Benny's crystal ball. And what stands out to
you in Arizona about quarterback Jacoby Brissett ghosting the Cardinals

(00:49):
voluntary OTAs we'll go.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
There as well. Right now here, it is our number.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Two, leaving the sainthood at least the football version. Welcome
in the beginning of another hour the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air ev reware, shoulder to shoulder

(01:17):
as we are glazed to amaze, coast to coast, border
to border and beyond on the vast and tremendously powerful
microphones of fsre emmating live from the wall. Just a
random brick in that big old wall right over there.

(01:38):
Garon teed Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio

we get back to our Russlo football talk. The basketball
was compelling for about ten minutes last hour. We had
a good conversation with Van the one leg of Vama
Man and Texas Jack. There were some other guys on
hold we wanted to talk to, but they hung up,
So we'll move on and our lead this hour from

(03:05):
the Bayou. We go to the Bayou and they said, well,
there's no NFL news, it's mid May.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
What are you talking about. Well, yes, there is.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yes, there is a team that in my lifetime has
only had about three or four good years and the
rest of the time they've been an absolute embarrassment. That
would be the football team that plays in Nollys. So
the Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, who is a tenured
professor who has lifetime employment there in New Orleans. So

(03:33):
Mickey Loomis said that the football team there, the Saints
are quote trying to see how running back Alvin Kamara
will fit on the roster in twenty twenty six. Don
if you heard this or not, maybe not. So Loomis
speaking to the Beat writers, what a great job that
must be. Decline to commit on whether or not to

(03:54):
keep Alvin Kamara on the roster for the upcoming season.
It would appear there is no room for Kamara, who's
in his early thirties here and he will turn thirty
one in July. He is expected to lose most of
his status on the New Orleans depth chart behind the
big pickup this offseason Travis a Chan formerly ETN Travis

(04:19):
a Chan and the Saints.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
But wait, there's more.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
The Saints are reportedly interested in quote adjusting quotes quote
the salary cap number for Alvin kamarow is gonna make
like ten million dollars if they do decide to keep him.
So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question. Can you decode the message that the

(04:44):
GM Mickey Loomis is sending when he says they are
trying to see about running back Alvin Kamara and his
future in New Orleans. So my observations, I've got iPhone,
Avaka and court summons, and we will combine all.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Of these together and we are going to go round
and round and round and round and round and round.
The merry go round, all right?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
So number wa number?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
What number?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Mickey Loomis gave the oldest answer in the NFL Book
of Answers, the hesitation answer. If you look at your
handbook and you're you're smart, you pay attention to this stuff,
the hesitation answer. And when a general manager pauses before
talking about a star player, the decision has already been made.

(05:40):
It is set in stone, it's already been made. Mickey
Loomas saying, we're trying to see how he fits. Is
some h R badunkadunk is what it is here, uh.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
For he doesn't fit on the team. We've already moved on.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
We're just waiting and seeing if someone's dumb enough to
make a trade to acquire him. It's classic corporate America
bull crap meeting the NFL world. There, you're still part
of our family. Once a saint, always a saint, all
that stuff. And well, of course they've already brought in
your replacement, they've trained your replacement, and he's sitting at

(06:18):
your desk. So good luck on that. The Saints bringing
in Travis ah Chan. He's there, and that's the replacement
who's now entered the chat. He's the guy that's gonna
be the featured running back for the New Orleans football
team and kamaraw at this point, he's like the iPhone
you used to have, you know, the old iPhone. You
have that junk drawer, and you toss it in the

(06:40):
junk drawer just in case, just in case. I'm never
gonna use that gave, but just in case maybe I'll
need it for something. Is it useful? What's your definition
of useful? Is Alvin Kamara still respected? Absolutely? Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
However, nobody in New Orleans is saying, well, we got
to have this guy's our feature back. We're not going
to build. We're not building around this guy. That's not
going to happen. And so now he prepares for the portal,
the NFL Transfer portal. Mickey Loomis is the ride operator,
and so he's at the controls there, the Saints general manager,
and he's waving bye bye, as Dick and Dayton would say, well,

(07:21):
Alvin Kamara is still checking the lap bar to make
sure that he does not get ejected from the roller
coaster that is the transfer portal. So he is a
luxury car, Alvin Kamara, He's got about a ninety thousand
miles on the odometer, a lot of miles They're still smooth,
still looks pretty good on the outside. The dealership, though,

(07:41):
has already ordered next year's model, and they're clearing out
the showroom and you're on the showroom floor. So it's
a bit of a problem now keeping the beat going here,
keeping the drum beat going.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Page two.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
So the question if the Saints actually do this, and
all indications are they're going to do this, if they
finally pull the ripcord, pull the rip cord on Alvin Kamara,
where does he land?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
All right? Where does he land?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
So? Time to dust off? What every good talk show
host needs a crystal ball, Benny's crystal ball. What does
Benny's crystal ball say?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Says?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
If the Saints move off Alvin Kamara and the crystal
ball is never wrong. Uh, there's only one place that
checks every box, every box.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
You know what that is.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
The Rocky Mountains, Denver, Colorado. You've got his buddy as
the coach, Sean Payton, and you've got a team that
believes they are ascending and would have, could have, should
have gotten to the Super Bowl except our quarterback got
hurt and all that stuff. And so you've got that
set up there in Denver and it's it's the obvious answer,

(08:53):
head and shoulders above everyone else. If Alvin Kamara changes teams,
the Broncos are the team that makes the most sense.
It's the most obvious answer. And it's like why even
bother saying because so obvious? There, Denver is not a guest,
it's a relationship player. You got Sean Payton who knows
Alvin Kamara better than anyone. It's not what you know,

(09:17):
it's who you know. The key to life, it's who
you know. And Kamar knows the guy who is the
guy for the Broncos, who made him the guy in.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
New Orleans back in the day. And so the.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Chosen one from many years ago returns to the coach
who helped get him to where he is in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
You look around the Seattle Seahawks, I know guys like
jj N Renton and Nostradinas don't want to admit it.
The Seahawks, though, got cheap. They didn't want to bring
back the Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker. He bolted to
Kenzah City. So Kenneth Walker's out. So that's not an option.
That's an option for Kamara. They didn't really replace Kenneth

(10:01):
Walker with anybody who's any good. So I guess they're
going to try it out to run the ball there
in Seattle this year. And then you've got Jacksonville because
that would just be obvious because the Jags didn't replace
Travis h Chan who's now in New Orleans, and so
he could do the old flipperou and then Alvin Kamara
can go over there the issue and in many ways,

(10:23):
the Komodo dragon in the room here, the Komodo Dragon
room is that Alvin kamaras we said, is gonna be
thirty one here soon. And running backs in my life,
running backs have aged with few exceptions, like avocados, the avocado.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
The most expensive fruit out there.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
The avocado and the avocado, as you know, they're perfect
one day and the very next day you're making guacamoldi
with the avocado.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
That's what you're doing there.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
The question isn't whether Alvin Kamara can still play. The
question is how much impact can he have, Like he'll
play somewhere if he wants.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
To in the NFL, he's not gonna be in New Orleans.
How much does he have left?

Speaker 2 (11:07):
He's he a part time player at this point occasionally
they'll have a couple of breakthrough games. Is that what
you're gonna get? I would say most likely that's the case.
If I was betting with house money, that's how I
would bet.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Now, final point, we.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Have the single lamest quarterback contract snafu in recent history.
We take you to the Valley of Sun. By all accounts,
the Arizona Cardinals are not trying to win their tanking.
They are tanking hoping to get the Manning prodigy, the
next big thing.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
In the Manning chain.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I'm sure Archie Manning would love for arch the grandson
to go out and play in Arizona.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Anyway, bring this up because we've learned that.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, you know, the guy that's been a
stiff for a decade in the NFL, Jacoby Brissett, he
has skipped out the start of the Cardinals voluntary OTAs
he's ain't.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I ain't doing that. I'm out now.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
This comes after it was reported last week that the
team informed Jacoby Brissett that he would be the QB
number one starting quarterback for the Arizona football team, and
his first act was.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I ain't shown up, man. I know it's voluntary.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
I ain't shown up though, and so you'd assume that
he's it's somewhat valuable. What do I know for the
starting quarterback to be there if you're trying to win games?

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Of course they're not.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Perset is thirty three years old, and he is staying
away from the team facility out of an abundance of
caution and an abundance of wanting more money. You would
like a nice pay raise. Do companies still give pay
raises out I don't know. I don't think they'd do it.
This not a lot I know of, but apparently it's
in the NFL they do sometimes. So the question what
stands out to you about Jacoby Brissett ghosting the cardinal

(13:00):
voluntary OTAs? What stands out to you? So, first of all,
I love the hutzba with a capital CEA. I truly
do love the Hutsba. And I'm fascinated. I'm not wired
this way. I'm fascinated when people in life are so
clueless to where they are that they do things like this.
It fascinates me. It really does. Only in today's NFL

(13:24):
does a thirty three year old garbage at best bridge
quarterback bridge to nowhere by the way bridge to nowhere.
Coming off a season where he started twelve games and
went one and eleven with the Cardinals, decide, not only
am I underpaid, I am going to put pressure on

(13:44):
the team to pay me. More like in the old days,
if you went one to eleven, you'd be lucky. You
just had a job in the NFL and you didn't
have to get a real job. So Arizona is clearly
embracing the suck. Man are the embracing the suck and
that is why they picked Jacoby Brissett in the first place.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Of course, we know he's not gonna be the quarterback
all year. That's not gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
And apparently the bar in the desert is so subterranean,
it is so subterranean that yet they're still finding ways
to trip over. It's wild. It is wild crazy. So
the Cardinals, again, just to recap, the Cardinals told Jacoby
Brissett are QB one, and he responded with the enthusiasm

(14:29):
of someone who just got a court summons for jury duty.
That was the level of excitement that Jacoby Brissett had there.
His first leadership act as the newly minted starter is
what it's like, Hey, I'll lead from home. Is he
trying to do this on zoom back like during the pandemic?
I want to be the NFL's first zoom quarterback. That's

(14:50):
what I'm going to do, zoom zoom, just like that.
It's a classic case of leverage delusion, delusion, leverage illusion.
You don't usually get a massive rais after driving the
team bus into the middle of the lake right off
the bridge.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
You don't normally get a massive race. But what do
I know?

Speaker 2 (15:14):
There's a sound right there that de Burssett wants. I
guess he wants starter money. Okay, you can ask for it.
What exactly is he giving the team emotional support? Is
that what he's giving the Cardinals? As if I ran
the Cardinals and they're obviously not trying to win, look
at the roster blows. What they ought to do is
they had to have a raffle among season ticket holders,

(15:38):
and they get about the same production.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
It wouldn't be much worse. It wouldn't be much worse.
Let's have a raffle.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
How would you like to be the starting quarterback for
the Arizona Cardinals?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
What the hell? So we'll see how this plays out.
But it's again I am I am jealous that you
can be that obtuse Jacoby Brissett not realizing his place
in the football universe and thinking he actually has some
kind of power. It's very impressive. Yeah, really good. It
is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to be part,

Speaker 5 (20:17):
Well, she got a good memory. I'll tell you that.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
From Nutley, New Jersey. His brother sent me a piece.
Now you sent no what you wanted me to reach
out to your brother. Your brother then got upset with
you and said that you sent him a piece of
your toe.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
If I remember her.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
You mess that up. Every time you say it, I.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Get a version of it. I don't remember exactly. It
was something about a toe, and it was it was
like your guy.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
You said that your brother was on the Howard Stern
Show or whatever back of the day. So I reached
out to whatever. What fine, Who cares?

Speaker 5 (20:52):
It was a toenail.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Well, the way he told it, it was a piece
of your toe.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
He's dead now, so he can't get it.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I don't know. I can't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Maybe he'll see listening on the other side. Who knows
what's going on. Well, you haven't called in a while.
You sound better?

Speaker 1 (21:07):
He sound good so far.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
Yeah, I'm I'll use the word hanging in hanging that so.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
You're so angry you can't die. You're too angry, you
can't die. Right, Come on, we love you, we love you.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
I'll tell you what I got to go through. But
forget that I didn't call about me. I keep seeing
online and I see on the TV and all that
stuff about Bobby Cox, the manager I'm kind of late
with this, but you know, the guy managed the Atlanta Braves,
but you know he was the next Yankee. He's a

(21:38):
backup third basement for the Yankees. And so I'm have
been the Yankee fan since nineteen sixty something, and they
keep talking about him and how great a manager he
was and all this kind of stuff. Bobby Cox was
one of the worst managers that ever satting the bull out. Okay,
he was horrible. He couldn't he couldn't tinkle, Okay, he didn't.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
I mean, you know, you know, you're just like you
remember the joke about how do you stop Michael Jordan
have Dean Smith coaching him?

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Right?

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Well, the Atlanta Braves had three Hall of Fame starting
pitchers and won one World Series with Bobby Cox.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
One World Series, one of the.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Greatest pitching stabs in the history of baseball. And this
guy couldn't win an All Star Game against a little
league team.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
He was all right on that note. Listen, I'm glad
you called it.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
We were worried about you, all right, And you don't
don't be a stranger, okay, And do you want to
talk to weed Man, you will say Weed Man that's.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
The last thing in the world I'd ever want to do.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay, on that note, we'll call it, to call it
any time we're here every night.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
I want to die before I talk to that guy.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Okay, very nice, thank you. Okay, you're very classy. All
right to hear from, still got his fastball, angry bill, Right,
you still got it right between the eyes. All right,
here we go. Let's fix the world right now. After
that negativity. We need positivity. We need to cleanse our souls.
And who better to do that?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
There?

Speaker 1 (23:05):
He is right there. I hear them from Holly, Hollywood, Florida.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
So they're like fired UFOs. Did you see this on
the news? And they travel, they must travel from all
the galaxies. We go to the moon, these these these playing,
these UFOs are coming from other galaxies.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, well, there's been a lot of stories in recent
days about UFOs and stuff, and yeah, yeah, what about you.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
They've always been here. I'm not even worried at this point,
high weed man.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yeah, yeah, no, I think that's great.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
I can't a wait.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
People.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Well, some of you will believe you are one of them.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Were I love that you are from somewhere else?

Speaker 1 (24:01):
You are not here, and I love the age of disclosure.
You will be disclosed. Would you like to disclose right now?
What planet you're from? Weed Man?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
No, it's I just watched I forget the name of
it. It was a good documentary about UFO's area fifty one.
I forget the name of it, though it's not popping
in my head right now. All right, Well, we have
people that have had questions for you. You would like
to answer these questions. I would assume you Alf the
alien Opiner. I met him at the Great event in Wooster,

(24:36):
and that's the one you didn't want to go to,
weed Man, because you're such.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
A ball you didn't want to go to Boston.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
So Alf says it's going to be over ninety degrees
today in Massachusetts.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Is that warm enough for you to visit? That's from Alf? Yes,
all right?

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Freddie writes in and says, what don't you miss about
being homeless, weed Man, now that you've had a home
for a while.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Don't right there?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (25:04):

of the third degree. The Spurs Victor wemban Yama is
the first player with thirty five points and twenty remounds
or more in a conference finals game. Since blank, that
is the question? What is the answer? Burger Man going

(36:54):
with Mark Price as his answer. Just Josh in Cincinnati
says Bucks is the way to go. Mister Irrigation checks
in with can the White Shadow Reeves apparently not Willie
Wonka from King Rory. That's his answer. Andre the Giant,
who would have been eighty today.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Andre the Giant.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Now I heard there's a roadside plaque in North Carolina.
Andrea the Giant lived in had a ranch in North
Carolina in the last few years of his life. Let's
go by there and see the Andre the Giant statue
or not statue. It's like a plaque. Milli Vanilli from
Michael in Tulsa, one of the great lipseeking acts of
all time? Who else do we have legendary Hickory Huckster,

(37:40):
Jimmy Chitwood from Mark de Walker?

Speaker 1 (37:42):
What say you? Lorraine up? Mark going to be Hugh Hefner,
Hugh Hefner, all right, Mark the Walker by the way
in Rochester. No, it is the round Mound rebound. You

I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Charles Barkley, the round Maunder rebound. Here we go, here
we go here it's maller. How about that? To the
third degree, this basketball gets grilled.

Speaker 8 (38:10):
The La Rams have tied a record with seven primetime
games this upcoming season. Have been your fandom aside? Do
you think that they are the team that the nation
as a whole wants to see the most?

Speaker 2 (38:21):
They are the team Kooper Loop the television wants. They've
got the sexy coach, they've got the MVP quarterback, they
got Pooka Nakula. They're an exciting team and you can
ram it all day, you can ram it all night.
So TV's the one that decides who gets these games,
and TV wants the Rams.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
So that's all that matters.

Speaker 8 (38:39):
Next, former Blazers head coach Terry Stotts wants his job back.
His agent has reached out to the team, and Statts
himself confirmed to a reporter that he would love to
come back to Portland. But do you think bringing Stutts
back is a good idea for the Trailblazers.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Well, by all accounts, I don't know this guy. I
keep reading stories.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
The owner of the Trailblazers is a tightwad, and Terry
Stotts coach the Trailblazer for a number of years. He
had some success there in Portland, and it's about the
only job he's going to get at this point at
his age. So, like you know, he wants to be
a head coach again, that's about the only job he's
qualified for.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Is it a good idea? Well, he'll work cheap, so sure.

Speaker 8 (39:17):
Next, Anthony Edwards was asked how much work the team
needs to catch up in the Western Conference and contend again,
Edwards said, I don't know, man, I think that I
don't think that's a question for me.

Speaker 7 (39:28):
Then do you think ant is not long for Minnesota?

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Well, by all accounts, he's from Georgia.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
He wears all the Atlanta Braves stuff and all that
if he if he had it was up to him,
he'd be playing for the Atlanta Hawks. And he doesn't
seem like he's he's really raising a hullaballoo trying to
get out of there.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Though.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
You gotta think that once you honesty, Ata Kombo goes
from Milwaukee to wherever he's gonna end up. Like at
some point it'll be at Edwards has to go play
for a better team. He's stuck in minute, you know
how this way it's a circle of life in the NBA.
These guys after a certain number of year, they demand
that they get traded.

Speaker 6 (40:02):
It.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
At this point, I don't think anytime soon he's gonna leave.
The next couple of years will be with the Timberwves.
How do we do you pass?

Speaker 1 (40:09):
That's the.

Speaker 8 (40:11):
