And he's also the only president to resign. There's your
presidential fund facts of the hour on this President's Day.
In hour number two, some recent buzz that the Steelers
have been interested in a Cooper Cup trade for months.
Would that be a good fit? The former Super Bowl
MVP in La. The Rams are reportedly upset with Matthew
(00:41):
Stafford and his wife's public commentary amid train Rubers what
is the issue? What is the real issue there? And
an NFLGM says Joe Burrow is not going to be
happy with the Bengals after this offseason. Can you decode
what that means? We'll get to all of that and
much more right now here. It is our number two,
(01:03):
a super Bowl hero on the block. Say what Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, BFFs as we are
one hundred percent Nachirale coast, the coast, border, the border
(01:24):
and beyond on the vast and scorchingly powerful microphones of
fs are emminating live from the walk as we walk

that now. Nick reached out to me over the weekend.
He said he thought he was having some gallbladder issues
and if there's one thing you need from overnight radio
(02:09):
host is advice on medical issues. So yeah, I had
my gallbladder taken out several years back. So it's a
fun time, fun time, good times, all right. So our
lead this hour, we'll get back to the bouncy ball
and the faux All Star Game in San Francisco. But
instead now we turn our attention to the rumor mill,
(02:32):
And if you like rumors, buckle up, buckeroo. Expect the
chatter to drive the storylines on this show and many
other gas bags and blowhards over the next couple of
months before we settle in to NFL Draft Apaloosa, which
coming up. But the big buzz this hour is around
a former Super Bowl MVP that can be yours if
(02:56):
the price is right. So if you haven't heard yet,
name's been out there, but perhaps not. We are told
the Pittsburgh standards, the Ginzers are hot and heavy. They're
all horny to get themselves a former Super Bowl MVP.
That would be LA or I am wide receiver Cooper Cup.
Jay Glazer reporting recently that the Pittsburgh football team gung
(03:20):
ho to get their hands on a Cup and have
him come to the confluence. They're in Pittsburgh, So let
us discuss the question. Some recent buzz picking up that
the Steelers have been interested for many many months in
getting their hands on Cooper Cup in a trade. Would
that be a good fit. So I have Twilight Zone
(03:45):
war slogan and fire drill and we will combine all
of these things together and hold up a protest sign.
Is what we're going to do. So naburg I said,
nab Well, this all depends on what exactly Mike Tomlin
(04:07):
is itching for in Pittsburgh. But keeping it real, if
you have watched watch the NFL in recent years. That
you know what. I know that while Cooper Cup is
a big name, he has not provided a lot of
game in recent years. He is a diminishing asset. That
is why the Rams are looking to get out of
(04:29):
the Cooper Cup business. He's better in theory than he
is in reality. It's been that way for several years.
So if you want a player who is what I
call in the twilight zone, then Cooper Cup's your guy. Picture.
If you will a world where you trade for someone
that has name brand value and instead get a guy
(04:51):
with generic brand performance, that's Cooper Cupp. The arrow is
pointing in the wrong direction. Now we have seen players
change teams and have a career ASIE, so that's clearly
what someone will be banking on if they acquire Cooper Cup.
But based on what he has done, if you look
at the eyeball test and you look at the Pro
(05:12):
Football Reference page, Cooper Cup his yards per season has
trended down down, down, down, down, down, down down down
four straight seasons, four straight seasons going the wrong direction.
His receiving success rate also down down, down, down, down
down down four straight years, and his magical season, the
peak of his superpowers when he was the MVP candidate.
(05:36):
Cooper Cup is fifty percent the player that he had been.
He averaged that year one hundred and fourteen and a
half yards per game. He is down to fifty nine
point two. The biggest problem, which is unsolvable at this point,
is that even if Cooper Cup were to go to
(05:57):
a place like Pittsburgh, go to the Patriots and have
some success, would have a taste of success. Even if
that was the case, he is star crossed, all right.
He is star cross because he's heading towards his age
thirty two seasons and the bugaboo, the Komodo dragon in
the room. He is damaged goods damage with buyer beware,
(06:21):
buyer beware. Cooper Cup has missed an entire season eighteen
games and a season plus a season plus with various
various injuries in recent years. And as he gets older,
I think we know how this works, because we're all
getting older. No one's getting younger. If you're getting younger,
you're a freak. Everyone's getting older. And as you get older,
(06:43):
stuff starts going haywire, and the thing majig doesn't work,
and the watch McCall it. Something's messed up with the
watch mccallt. And that's what happens now. Page two. Staying
with the Rams though, the RAMS reports recently saying the
RAMS are trying to trade Matthew Stafford. A lot of
buzz connecting Stafford to the New York Giants in recent days,
and the RAMS supposedly upset with Stafford's wife for her
(07:08):
public commentary amid the trade rumors. So what do you
think the issue here with Matthew Stafford's wife and the
RAMS is, well, that's actually not that difficult. After a
seconds long, second long malor investigation that we determined it
is a war slogan the RAMS are upset about, back
to World War Two, the slogan loose lips, sink chips.
(07:30):
That would be the issue here, or in the case
the transfer portal of the RAMS trying to finesse a
trade of Stafford working back channels as we speak right now,
and these deals are often consummated way in advance, right
way before they actually get announced, months before they're officially announced.
So they're doing their legwork to figure out where to
(07:50):
put Stafford and his wife is meddling the meddling wife. Yes,
it's like a reality show on her fledgling podcast, because
everyone's got a podcast, even I have a podcast. Kelly Stafford,
that's the name. Kelly Stafford ripped the Rams personnel decisions,
including the looking to trade Cooper Cup and his uncertain
(08:14):
future even though Cupp has been a diminishing player for
several years. That has robbed the RAM organization the wrong way. Now,
I'm still not convinced the Rams are going to actually
have the moxie as my dog is named to trade
Cooper Cup. I'm still reluctant that this is actually what happened,
but I'll believe it when it does happen. Ultimately, if
you take a couple of steps back and look at this,
(08:37):
we believe that Matthew Stafford has he just doesn't care.
He's like whatever, say whatever you want. I don't care
to his wife and that whole thing. And it's kind
of like that celebrity chef Emerald where it's like bam, bam,
you know, kick it up a notch. Here they're kicking
it up a notch and Stafford he's ready to move on,
even though he's, oh, I want to stay with the Rams,
(08:57):
does he really want to stay with the Rams, eh,
I don't think. So he's going to New York. Here
you make it in New York, and he's thinking about
post football career if you have success with the Giants,
which nobody really does, but if we're able to figure
it out, you could get the New York market. You've
already had success in LA So it's the old good
cop bad cop and wife is the bad cop. Stafford's
(09:21):
the good cop. And it's either this or he is
so whipped Matthew Stafford and his wife just the toxicity
level there and meddling with his career and he just
sits there like a zombie and does nothing. Stafford, while
he would be an upgrade for the Giants, as we
have pointed out on this show in previous episodes, at
(09:41):
this point Matthew Stafford is he went from a Tier
two quarterback. He's now a Tier three high tier three
quarterback in the NFL. The last six games of his
LA Ram regular season career, Stafford was like a house
of cards ready to come tumbling down for the Rams.
Very inconsistent and as we have seen in all sports,
(10:05):
that is the telltale sign of a diminishing career where
every once in a while you go out and play great,
but more times than not you stink. Looking like Paul George.
We talked about him last yar Paul George and the NBA.
Everyone's wing to else to go thirty points and then
they'll come back and have like eight or twelve or two.
That's more of the regular all right, not final point
(10:27):
to since cinnaty we go and as we're an NFL
general manager, an NFL GM says that Joe Burrow, star
quarterback Joe Burrow is not telling you to be happy.
And if Joe Burrow is not happy, no one's happy.
Burro's gonna be unhappy with the Bengals after the offseason.
Can you decode what that GM means? So the message
(10:49):
is rather simple, prepare for a two words fire drill
or go a mass exodus. In fact, the only one
left in Cincinnati justin in Cincinnati and possibly just Josh,
but he might relocate allso a mass excess. Now, Cincinnati
has the following players that can be yours if the
(11:11):
price is right, Jamar Chase t Higgins, defensive star Trey Hendrickson,
and tight end Mike is SICKI all of them either
free agents, are looking to get paid, and if they
don't get paid, they're looking to leave Cincinnati. Now, Burrow
has already offered to redo his contract to play the
shell game and move money around in order to allow
(11:34):
the Bengals to keep the band together on a non
playoff team. But my take on this is level headed approach.
Level headed approach here. If you look at this level head,
the GM predicted that fifty percent of those guys would
be gone at best, and I think that's accurate. I
think that's accurate. They're not going to cook the books.
They're not into cooking the Bengals front office. They've never
(11:57):
operated that way. Why would they all of a sudden
start operating that way. It just doesn't make a lot
of sense compared to other NFL teams that are willing
to go above and beyond, above and beyond what is required.
And you can always futs around with the numbers. The
salary cap is designed in a way for manipulation if
you want to manipulate it. If not, you can use
it as the end all, be all excuse and say
(12:18):
I can't afford this player, I can't afford that players.
You put your hands up in the air and say, oh,
it's a salary kin. Oh, it's a salary kin. But
if you want the player, you can keep the player.
So the Bengals have never been that motivated. And we've
pointed out that it's old family money. It's old family money,
it's family business. It's it's essentially a slush fund for
(12:39):
the family. And if you put more money into the
payroll and you take money out of the vacation fund,
that's one less a yacht you can rent. That's one
less private plane flight you can take, because that's going
to the play the player payroll. But if I'm in charge,
based on what I know of the Bengals, then I
would do everything I can to keep Jamarch because he's
(13:00):
a top top ten receiver, top five receiver in the NFL.
So you keep him, you figure you can get someone
to slide into the t Higgins role because everyone will
be focused on Jamar Chase, and then you would keep
Trey Hendrickson. And as far as Mike is sicky, you know,
it's like, Okay, you're gonna lose any sleep if Mike
Gasicki leaves, probably not and t Higgins you hope you
(13:23):
can work something out where you do like a sign
and trade type deal and you get some something in
return for T. Higgins. If you can futs around that direction,
That's what I would do. And I'm never wrong about
these things, ever, never ever wrong. I've been the general
manager for thirty two NFL teams for over twenty years,
and my record is spotless. My record is perfect. I
(13:46):
have not lost my job. Well, actually did lose my
job one time, but overall my record, I have a
winning record as an executive for all these teams. All right,
it is the Ben at Maloch Show. You want to
comment about any of this, you are more than welcome

the Mister Beast crowd. They're very upset with me. They
(14:51):
believe that the mister Beast is like Jesus, and I've
attacked Jesus because I I don't get the whole Mister
Beasts thing. He was at the NBA All Star Game,
so I'm sure we'll get some more reaction to that.
We'll have some fun facts this hour all of that,

Big Valentine's Day for you, Lorain, A big, big weekend,
super big. Did it go as well as you were
hoping it was going to go?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Okay, it it was okay, It was all right. You
survived another Valentine's Day. But you look forward to Valentine's
Day looking at me weird? A big, big event for
you? You know, I just love gifting you like getting gifts.
You like receiving. Yes, I did you receive a lot
of gifts? Were people very nice to you? Did they
spoil you?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
No one as much as the listeners shout out listen,
yeah they love you. They love you. And before you
worked in the show, I was the one that used
to get all the gifts. You have a gift right there.
There is a box here. I've not opened the box.
I'm waiting for the ratings to get higher. You know,
I know when people are tuning into the show and
I will I have what's it? Will play? What's in
the box? I don't know what's in the box? We
(17:31):
should go live. I thought I knew what was in
the box, but I don't know what's in the box.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I think in defense of the listener spoiling Lorena with gifts,
no of you not getting as many gifts as you
used to gifts. Yeah, you also used to eat and
now you don't.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Well, I didn't. The majority of the gifts are food.
That is true. That is true. We do get a
lot of food. So you're saying that if I went
off the wagon or I went back on the food wagon,
that I would get more.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yes, I thought people would start bringing us more sandwiches. Yeah,
well not just that, but like the stuff that they
sent in the mail. Oftentimes it's food as well.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well, you gotta remember, Coop, were you here when we
were getting cake? Every other week we get these designer cakes.
I got so fat, I gained so much weight. I'd
lost all this weight, and we kept getting these like
really expensive cakes that were delivered with Oh they were
all that. A camel cake. We had to chuck the
condor cake. I had a camel cake. Oh, it was amazing.
This local bakery here, the cake benefactor would hook us
(18:27):
up with cake and it was great. Although they looked
the fund It does not taste good. I love fonding.
Oh my gosh, that is you're a liar. I'm not
even does it tastes this on cakes?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
When Bo had his daughter's cake here, that birthday cake,
I took all the fondent off and I ate all
of it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
That is disgusting. It's like eating paper funded. It looks good,
but it's not something to eat. No, it's disgusting, and
you can't compare it to like a proper frosted cake.
Was that? What are you doing? What's wrong with you right,
let's go the phones and let's say hello to Let's
(19:03):
go Xavior. Who's in the great state of Tennessee. What's up, Xavier? Welcome?
It is the Ben Malor Show. Welcome, Xavior.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I do.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
If I was any better, I'd be a star, but
not an All Star because that NBA All Star game
was a dud man.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
That was bull crap.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I agree with you though on the youtub like how
he does and stuff. I don't agree with that. But
my question is coming from a coach, when I delivered,
we delivered place and stuff and in videotape is the
wrong too, because we're promoting, like to be better like
in our community. You see, they're like a difference.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Know what do you I'm confused here? So you say,
as a coach, like you have you you're doing charity,
promoting the charity. Is that what you're complaining about?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
No?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Like, okay, So like the dude he goes around here,
I think, like, mister Bate, yes you are.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm gonna blow you. You can feed homeless people without
recording it. It is possible to feed homeless people without
having a camera rolling and taking photos. It can happen.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Okay, yeah, it can't.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
It can't, but it's the heart behind it.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Correct, Well, wouldn't the heart, You wouldn't need the camera.
If you have the heart, you don't need the camera.
You just know you're doing the right thing. And the
person getting the food, the homeless person getting the food,
is the one that's getting the good out of it.
You don't need to let people know. It's called it's
called virtue. It's called virtue signaling. I get emails from
a lot of these sports teams, and it's pretty funny
(20:35):
because it'd be like, like, the Dodgers will send me
an email, Mookie Betts will be giving away turkeys from
noon to two. Make sure your camera crew arrives at
eleven thirty and records, and then you know it's like,
oh yeah, they send out they said out. How do
you think it ends up on the local TV? They
send out news releases, said sending that's saying that so
and so is gonna be here doing a charity act.
(20:57):
It's and all the there's the Dodgers. I just pointed
that out, but all the teams do it. They send
out news releases to the local media, so they record
their acts of charity. So they they get publicity.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
But what do you think you should do with the draft?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Look at that? See that that is a carved ball.
You go from a charity, take to it. I would
trade the pick. How about that? I would trade down, down, down, down, down,
because I'm looking at these top players.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Yes, what yes, trade up, pick, trade But Sanders has
bust written all over him.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Award, I don't think you'd do that.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Good? What about Ward?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Though? I don't. I don't see superstar. I don't see
franchise changing quarterback. I don't do you. I don't see that.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
You like me reading it about the asthma rain out
on the date on the radio?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Man, woh, that would be a fair That would be fair.
That would be a very expensive date, sirre you'd have
a lot of there's a there's a she's geographically undesirable, sir,
I believe. But oh yes, yeah, yeah, all right, thank
you all. There's a Xavier.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Man you here that I sound expensive.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
You're bogie bougie. I can't say it. You know, Andre,
who's in the Commonwealth?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Andre, Welcome Andre?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Hello, Bet how you doing?
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Listen?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
We got to get on the right page with this
All Star game. This was a tour de force compared
to what we've seen before. Okay, this was a marked difference.
We're talking night and day in terms of the moribund,
absolutely unwatchable layup line All Star games that we've had
over the last couple of years. So I'm a little
bit befuddled by some of the negativity surrounding this based
(22:46):
on where we're coming from. They scored over three. It's
goed close to four hundred points in the last All
Star Game, which prompted Adam Silver and the brain Trust
to get together and say we got to do something.
And what they did was give us three competitive.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
So why don't we just do all NBA games first
to forty? Let's just do it. How about that? We'll
just do every night you go out to the arena.
You know Celtics are playing the Knicks first to forty,
end the game. How about that?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Okay, then I see what you're saying, But we can't
do that? Never mind?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Why not? It's just good for the All Star Game?
Why do not we do it every night? You just
say we won't have time. We'll just do first to
forty and that's it. You know, when you go play
pick up basketball at the park. Sometimes you'll do you know,
first to ten or whatever whatever it might be, then
just do that boom done.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
We needed the sense of urgency. Then that's what we
got with the forty points, not fifty, not sixty forty
meaning we're out here, you know what I mean, like we're.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
At the listen. We disagree. You thought it was good.
I didn't think it was all that good. I thought
it was stupid. And I watched it because I you know,
obviously for the job. I watched it, and that's fine.
And I thought the most interesting part was Draymond Green
ripping the event on television at the event, and he's
a broadcaster being paid to cover the event and he
(23:56):
ripped it. I give him credit because that takes a
lot of balls. But then I love Charles Barr Barkley's response,
where Barkley's like, hey, stupid. Essentially, the reason this is
like this is because you idiots screwed up the All
Star Game. Uh, And that's really what I mean. That's
I know it'll probably never go back to the way
it had been, but I just I don't like it.
It's not it's not for me. You thought it was cool,
you liked it, and to me, this is so drastic.
(24:17):
It's not the product you're selling during the season. It's
a different product. Just like the Pro bowls stupid and
they've ruined the Pro Bowl. It's the same thing with
the NBA All Star Game then the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
We're playing flag football versus actual football. It's gotten to
that extent.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well, the NBA is playing first to forty. They're not
playing a forty eight minute game. It's the same it's
it's the same thing. It's not the product they serve
up every night in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Because under that scenario, we couldn't whether they drafted players,
whether it was East versus West. The job wasn't getting done.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But that's my point. So rather than be able to
get the players actually put an honors different in you,
you're serving up a different product. It's like if you
ran a pizzeria and you're like, oh, well, we're not
gonna serve pizza. We're gonna serve hot dogs instead of
we're just serving hot dogs. It's maybe they're good hot dogs,
but it's not pizza. You're a pizza rha. You're serving
(25:11):
up winers.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
We have to find a way to get a scenario.
And this is my conclusion.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Why why is it so hard? Andre though? Why is
it so difficult? It's because of the money, right, these
guys are all so rich. They all love each other.
There's no competitive spirit. That's really with the problem. The
underlying condition the NBA is all these guys grow up together.
I get it. They're all part they're all star players
at a young age. They all travel the same circuit.
They all know each other from playing basketball's kids, and
(25:39):
so they don't really hate each other. There's no real
rivalry there, and so what you get is grab ass
in the All Star game.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Listen, we gotta do it. A Rome was not building today, man, Okay,
we're not gonna get Larry Bird level dedication and effort
Larry Joe Bird who worked as a dog on garbage
man when he left Indiana before going on to Indiana
State then coming to the NBA to being all time great.
Nobody's conceding the fact that these players do not have
the eye of the tiger like they did in previous generations.
The point of fact is, again, Rome not built in
(26:09):
a day. We have to take steps to get there,
and this was a very positive step to the three
hundred and ninety eight million points they scored in the
last couple of years, did you.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Put a cap on it? So there's no way, I mean,
there's no way they're gonna scored. You put more of
a higher cap. It was forty that's it. The most
they could have scored is forty points in any one
of these games. So they played what three games? So
one hundred and twenty is the most. That's it. They
put a cap on one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You got a number of other callers that have to
let them in. Then they actually play defense and ca
Yeah right, okay, but we're gonna give credit where credit
is due. It's it's not a penn ultimate mass.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You don't get credit for You don't get credit for
doing what you're supposed to do. I don't understand. I
don't Why would you give credit? That's your your gig?
All right? I love you, Andre, but you're you're wrong.
But thank you. Have a great day. Let's see who
do we have any meaning? Mney must to Jed who
fled for some hot Daytona five hundred talk Hello Jed
(27:04):

missed the show. Zero, man, I.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Want hey Jed, Jed uh are you calling on a
mister microphone or a tin can and a string? What
are you calling her? Let me go around the room here,
because maybe it's just my headphones. I don't know my
(27:35):
hearings going. I've been a radio a long time. Uh.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
I'm guarantee you to think of better. Now it's the
backwo South your own speaker phone. It makes zero stin.

Speaker 6 (27:53):
You spinning into your ear, dude, that is weirdness. Heyas
you know, being has not done as due dilicits and
found out in the real fact. This is the homeless
people's camera crew and they want to be caught on cameras.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yes, there's nothing homeless people like more than being recorded
at the weakest moment in their lives.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Yes, amen, I got a clue following me all the time? Man,
we need I don't even understand what that guys talking about.
Bragging conveyed information about an individual's good deeds, making them
look generous, but bragging suggests the selfish motivation undermine the generosity. Dude,
and true he chose the name of any Christ out
of revelations. You're giving young kids money, influencing their opinions,
(28:30):
you might as well be safe. Okay, mister beast, that's
exactly what it is being great job, great job diagnosing that.
Or do you do you know, if you're a great person,
you give away money because because money's read of valuable. Nope,
the love of money is the root of all evil.
Now you think, did you just cooked the Bible?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
No?
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I didn't. I got grey talks. I realized that would
be a little too far. And maybe you know the
the same hypocrut.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yes, well, you have a love hate relationship with the Bible.
You love it, but there's certain parts of it you
do not believe in. But there's other parts of it
you're definitely believe in. So it's a love.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Hate No, there's George end Leviticus, there's a averse the
sanctions selling you're a dollar into slavery. Don't believe in that. However,
if I got it right now, though, probably gonna burn
for Turny, no doubt about it. He's very toasty. Let's
let's move off that. How about this news. I got
a career. I've got a career idea a food truck,

fences together consc pretty normally, you think i'd get like
the able to do a dispretation?
Speaker 1 (30:26):

Speaker 6 (30:30):
Oh damn dude, I did not check that answer. Man,
I've got.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I think you're I think you're a great BS artist,
jet I think you you clean up your act a
little bit. You can do whatever you want. You can
take over the world. Okay. There He hung up on
that note. All right. He was shocked by that answer
so much he had to leave. Let's go to Chris,
who's in Cincinnati. What's going on? Chris? Welcome and how
(30:58):
you doing? If I would is any better? I'd be
a Red, but not a Cincinnati Red because they stink
alom maria.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
But I don't like Cincinnati Reds.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
But anyway, Yeah, no, I hear you.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
As the winner. How much is Mike DeWine going to
be a doll kitcher Nicks?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
He's running for dog catcher, Yes, yes, yeah, he's got
posters up to be a dog dog catcher. That's it's
a big position. Did you just wake up to make
that phone call? Is that your take? Do you stayed
on hold to make that take? That's your take? No,
that's an that's an opening take. That was like a starter.
That was like a where's Eddie? Probably sleeping right now?
(31:40):
And he's probably in bed right now sleeping.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
What the hell I thought he was?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
He was my sidekick? Yes, he was for many many years.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
He kicked it.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Then the company decided he wasn't my sidekick anymore. Yes,
a man, I love your shoe. Well, thank you. I
appreciate that. Edie's got a podcast. Why don't you listen
to Eddie's podcast? He's got a hockey podcast. Used to
listen to his podcast. He'll enlighten you about hockey. How
about that? Anyway?
Speaker 6 (32:10):
I worry about my wine. The Burber taxis cigarette taxes.
What about taxation?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yes, say no to all taxes, because all the politicians
do is steal our tax money and they do not
use it properly. So just know on all taxes. That's
what I say. I'm an anti taxation person, that's what
I stand for. And I'm in a state which taxes
me more than I can imagine. So that's a freaking
(32:40):
nightmare anyway. All right, it is the the Ben Malor Show.
As we are rolling, rolling, rolling through the overnight hours
and little seven heaven action here. How about Ravens Kicker
Justin Tucker? And over the weekend another report seven more
women have stepped up and come on down. Yes, seven
(33:02):
more women have now accused Tucker of touchy feely activity
inappropriate misconduct at high end massage locations. So now it's
sixteen for Justin Tucker, the Ravens Kicker. Sixteen women who
have accused him of They just lining up. Yeah, they
(33:24):
are lining up, very similar to the Deshaun Watson. Hello.
The allegations not quite as bad. They say, intense eye contact, Lorena.
That the kind of a complaint is that, yes, you're
in this industry. I cannot, I cannot. I tend to
(33:45):
agree with you, Lenna, but that's what it says in
the latest allegations. Tucker, Well, he was he did leave
like a tartar sauce behind, which is a problem. But
that intense eye contact were some of the allegations there.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
So yeah, all right, I'll never be able to look
at Tartar Sauces.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I went to uh, I did have We had had
training one time and they talked about they called it
elevator eyes that you can be uh you go the
up and down the elevator eyes is sexual misconduct? Oh
thought that. Yeah, don't look at anyone, do not stare
at anyone's Uh yeah, but isn't the case Lorena, Like
(34:23):
if guys aren't kind of looking, that's a bad sign. Right,
There's like, isn't there And maybe I'm wrong on this,
but isn't there like this thing where you kind of
want people to look because that means you're attractive, But
then if they don't look, then that's probably not a
good Yeah, I seem everyone's always looking, right, I mean,
what do you think there's kind of that sweet spot
where you kind of want people look because that means
you're attractive, and if they're not looking, that probably means
(34:44):
you're not that attractive anymore. That might be a problem.
I'm just saying, what do I know? Anyway? It is

we go, it's Meller. How about that?
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The third?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Here we go, Here we go, It's real.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
A report over the weekend suggested that Aaron Rodgers pleaded
with the Jets to give him another chance.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Bet are you buying that? I don't think anyone has
ever pleaded with the Jets to play another season with
the Jets, So I don't believe that now. I do
think that Aaron Rodgers wants to play again and he
doesn't want to leave the NFL world. But why would
you beg to play for the Jets. If you want
to play for a bad team, you can play for
the Titans, or you know, there's plenty of bad teams
that need the Raiders, that need quarterbacks. So I'm a
(38:36):
little skeptical, but I'm sure my man Aaron Rodgers will
Pat hang out with Pat McAfee and straighten the record. Coope,
we'll get to the bottom of this one way or another.
We are gonna hear whether or not that report is
legitimate or not about Aaron Rogers, so you just relax.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Next, the Giants are in need of a franchise quarterback,
and an NFL inside suggested this weekend that they would
have to give up a significant haul to get the
number one overall pick. They'd have to give the number
three pick, at least one second rounder and possibly more.
Ben do you see them more the Titans making that deal. No,
there are years to make that trade. This is not
(39:16):
one of the years to make that trade. This is
not it right.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
And wasn't it Jimmy Johnson that came up with the
formula of the point system for how much each draft
pick's worth and how much you have to give up
to get that pick. And now, if you're the Giants,
stay at the number three. But they should do is
get Matthew Stafford. He's a Tier three quarterback, but the
Giants have had Tier five quarterbacks for several years, and
(39:41):
gets Stafford in there, and he's at least not going
to embarrass you unless he completely falls off the map,
which many have with the Giants. But keep the number
three pick and get Stafford, and I think that would
be the way to go next. After the Slam Dunk Contest.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
On Saturday, John Morant tweeted, Mac might make me decide
to dunk.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
A lot of people speculate that this means the Morans
could join the contest next year. Do you think it
happens and if so, would it make a difference.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Well, the fact that Mac mac McClung right three years
in a row, Mack McClung, he's played in five NBA
games and won three dunk contests, is fascinating, but not
edge you John Morant say that, then Gianni Sai Dan
to Cumbo said, if you do it, I'll do it.
This the NBA players, it's machiezma. They don't want to
embarrass themselves in the Slam Dunk Contest by not winning
(40:29):
the Slam. It's why Lebron's never been part of the
Slam Dunk Contest because they're afraid of embarrassing themselves. Make
the make the Slam Dunk Contest great again. I'm all
for it. I'll believe it when I see it. I
don't buy it. How did we do you passes? That
is a win. I want to write out Happy President's Day,
President's Day, President's Day,
We go. It's our n B two, our number two,
and a happy President's Day. The presidential fun fact here
is that Richard Milhouse Nixon was the first president to
visit all fifty states and the first president to visit China.
(00:21):
And he's also the only president to resign. There's your
presidential fund facts of the hour on this President's Day.
In hour number two, some recent buzz that the Steelers
have been interested in a Cooper Cup trade for months.
Would that be a good fit? The former Super Bowl
MVP in La. The Rams are reportedly upset with Matthew
(00:41):
Stafford and his wife's public commentary amid train Rubers what
is the issue? What is the real issue there? And
an NFLGM says Joe Burrow is not going to be
happy with the Bengals after this offseason. Can you decode
what that means? We'll get to all of that and
much more right now here. It is our number two,
(01:03):
a super Bowl hero on the block. Say what Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, BFFs as we are

He said he thought he was having some gallbladder issues
and if there's one thing you need from overnight radio
(02:09):
host is advice on medical issues. So yeah, I had
my gallbladder taken out several years back. So it's a
fun time, fun time, good times, all right. So our
lead this hour, we'll get back to the bouncy ball
and the faux All Star Game in San Francisco. But
instead now we turn our attention to the rumor mill,
(02:32):
And if you like rumors, buckle up, buckeroo. Expect the
chatter to drive the storylines on this show and many
other gas bags and blowhards over the next couple of
months before we settle in to NFL Draft Apaloosa, which
coming up. But the big buzz this hour is around
a former Super Bowl MVP that can be yours if
(02:56):
the price is right. So if you haven't heard yet,
name's been out there, but perhaps not. We are told
the Pittsburgh standards, the Ginzers are hot and heavy. They're
all horny to get themselves a former Super Bowl MVP.
That would be LA or I am wide receiver Cooper Cup.
Jay Glazer reporting recently that the Pittsburgh football team gung
(03:20):
ho to get their hands on a Cup and have
him come to the confluence. They're in Pittsburgh, So let
us discuss the question. Some recent buzz picking up that
the Steelers have been interested for many many months in
getting their hands on Cooper Cup in a trade. Would
that be a good fit. So I have Twilight Zone
(03:45):
war slogan and fire drill and we will combine all
of these things together and hold up a protest sign.
Is what we're going to do. So naburg I said,
nab Well, this all depends on what exactly Mike Tomlin
(04:07):
is itching for in Pittsburgh. But keeping it real, if
you have watched watch the NFL in recent years. That
you know what. I know that while Cooper Cup is
a big name, he has not provided a lot of
game in recent years. He is a diminishing asset. That
is why the Rams are looking to get out of
(04:29):
the Cooper Cup business. He's better in theory than he
is in reality. It's been that way for several years.
So if you want a player who is what I
call in the twilight zone, then Cooper Cup's your guy. Picture.
If you will a world where you trade for someone
that has name brand value and instead get a guy
(04:51):
with generic brand performance, that's Cooper Cupp. The arrow is
pointing in the wrong direction. Now we have seen players
change teams and have a career ASIE, so that's clearly
what someone will be banking on if they acquire Cooper Cup.
But based on what he has done, if you look
at the eyeball test and you look at the Pro
(05:12):
Football Reference page, Cooper Cup his yards per season has
trended down down, down, down, down, down, down down down
four straight seasons, four straight seasons going the wrong direction.
His receiving success rate also down down, down, down, down
down down four straight years, and his magical season, the
peak of his superpowers when he was the MVP candidate.
(05:36):
Cooper Cup is fifty percent the player that he had been.
He averaged that year one hundred and fourteen and a
half yards per game. He is down to fifty nine
point two. The biggest problem, which is unsolvable at this point,
is that even if Cooper Cup were to go to
(05:57):
a place like Pittsburgh, go to the Patriots and have
some success, would have a taste of success. Even if
that was the case, he is star crossed, all right.
He is star cross because he's heading towards his age
thirty two seasons and the bugaboo, the Komodo dragon in
the room. He is damaged goods damage with buyer beware,
(06:21):
buyer beware. Cooper Cup has missed an entire season eighteen
games and a season plus a season plus with various
various injuries in recent years. And as he gets older,
I think we know how this works, because we're all
getting older. No one's getting younger. If you're getting younger,
you're a freak. Everyone's getting older. And as you get older,
(06:43):
stuff starts going haywire, and the thing majig doesn't work,
and the watch McCall it. Something's messed up with the
watch mccallt. And that's what happens now. Page two. Staying
with the Rams though, the RAMS reports recently saying the
RAMS are trying to trade Matthew Stafford. A lot of
buzz connecting Stafford to the New York Giants in recent days,
and the RAMS supposedly upset with Stafford's wife for her
(07:08):
public commentary amid the trade rumors. So what do you
think the issue here with Matthew Stafford's wife and the
RAMS is, well, that's actually not that difficult. After a
seconds long, second long malor investigation that we determined it
is a war slogan the RAMS are upset about, back
to World War Two, the slogan loose lips, sink chips.
(07:30):
That would be the issue here, or in the case
the transfer portal of the RAMS trying to finesse a
trade of Stafford working back channels as we speak right now,
and these deals are often consummated way in advance, right
way before they actually get announced, months before they're officially announced.
So they're doing their legwork to figure out where to
(07:50):
put Stafford and his wife is meddling the meddling wife. Yes,
it's like a reality show on her fledgling podcast, because
everyone's got a podcast, even I have a podcast. Kelly Stafford,
that's the name. Kelly Stafford ripped the Rams personnel decisions,
including the looking to trade Cooper Cup and his uncertain
(08:14):
future even though Cupp has been a diminishing player for
several years. That has robbed the RAM organization the wrong way. Now,
I'm still not convinced the Rams are going to actually
have the moxie as my dog is named to trade
Cooper Cup. I'm still reluctant that this is actually what happened,
but I'll believe it when it does happen. Ultimately, if
you take a couple of steps back and look at this,
(08:37):
we believe that Matthew Stafford has he just doesn't care.
He's like whatever, say whatever you want. I don't care
to his wife and that whole thing. And it's kind
of like that celebrity chef Emerald where it's like bam, bam,
you know, kick it up a notch. Here they're kicking
it up a notch and Stafford he's ready to move on,
even though he's, oh, I want to stay with the Rams,
(08:57):
does he really want to stay with the Rams, eh,
I don't think. So he's going to New York. Here
you make it in New York, and he's thinking about
post football career if you have success with the Giants,
which nobody really does, but if we're able to figure
it out, you could get the New York market. You've
already had success in LA So it's the old good
cop bad cop and wife is the bad cop. Stafford's
(09:21):
the good cop. And it's either this or he is
so whipped Matthew Stafford and his wife just the toxicity
level there and meddling with his career and he just
sits there like a zombie and does nothing. Stafford, while
he would be an upgrade for the Giants, as we
have pointed out on this show in previous episodes, at
(09:41):
this point Matthew Stafford is he went from a Tier
two quarterback. He's now a Tier three high tier three
quarterback in the NFL. The last six games of his
LA Ram regular season career, Stafford was like a house
of cards ready to come tumbling down for the Rams.
Very inconsistent and as we have seen in all sports,
(10:05):
that is the telltale sign of a diminishing career where
every once in a while you go out and play great,
but more times than not you stink. Looking like Paul George.
We talked about him last yar Paul George and the NBA.
Everyone's wing to else to go thirty points and then
they'll come back and have like eight or twelve or two.
That's more of the regular all right, not final point
(10:27):
to since cinnaty we go and as we're an NFL
general manager, an NFL GM says that Joe Burrow, star
quarterback Joe Burrow is not telling you to be happy.
And if Joe Burrow is not happy, no one's happy.
Burro's gonna be unhappy with the Bengals after the offseason.
Can you decode what that GM means? So the message
(10:49):
is rather simple, prepare for a two words fire drill
or go a mass exodus. In fact, the only one
left in Cincinnati justin in Cincinnati and possibly just Josh,
but he might relocate allso a mass excess. Now, Cincinnati
has the following players that can be yours if the
(11:11):
price is right, Jamar Chase t Higgins, defensive star Trey Hendrickson,
and tight end Mike is SICKI all of them either
free agents, are looking to get paid, and if they
don't get paid, they're looking to leave Cincinnati. Now, Burrow
has already offered to redo his contract to play the
shell game and move money around in order to allow
(11:34):
the Bengals to keep the band together on a non
playoff team. But my take on this is level headed approach.
Level headed approach here. If you look at this level head,
the GM predicted that fifty percent of those guys would
be gone at best, and I think that's accurate. I
think that's accurate. They're not going to cook the books.
They're not into cooking the Bengals front office. They've never
(11:57):
operated that way. Why would they all of a sudden
start operating that way. It just doesn't make a lot
of sense compared to other NFL teams that are willing
to go above and beyond, above and beyond what is required.
And you can always futs around with the numbers. The
salary cap is designed in a way for manipulation if
you want to manipulate it. If not, you can use
it as the end all, be all excuse and say
(12:18):
I can't afford this player, I can't afford that players.
You put your hands up in the air and say, oh,
it's a salary kin. Oh, it's a salary kin. But
if you want the player, you can keep the player.
So the Bengals have never been that motivated. And we've
pointed out that it's old family money. It's old family money,
it's family business. It's it's essentially a slush fund for
(12:39):
the family. And if you put more money into the
payroll and you take money out of the vacation fund,
that's one less a yacht you can rent. That's one
less private plane flight you can take, because that's going
to the play the player payroll. But if I'm in charge,
based on what I know of the Bengals, then I
would do everything I can to keep Jamarch because he's
(13:00):
a top top ten receiver, top five receiver in the NFL.
So you keep him, you figure you can get someone
to slide into the t Higgins role because everyone will
be focused on Jamar Chase, and then you would keep
Trey Hendrickson. And as far as Mike is sicky, you know,
it's like, Okay, you're gonna lose any sleep if Mike
Gasicki leaves, probably not and t Higgins you hope you
(13:23):
can work something out where you do like a sign
and trade type deal and you get some something in
return for T. Higgins. If you can futs around that direction,
That's what I would do. And I'm never wrong about
these things, ever, never ever wrong. I've been the general
manager for thirty two NFL teams for over twenty years,
and my record is spotless. My record is perfect. I
(13:46):
have not lost my job. Well, actually did lose my
job one time, but overall my record, I have a
winning record as an executive for all these teams. All right,
it is the Ben at Maloch Show. You want to
comment about any of this, you are more than welcome
to join us here. It is a President's Day. Addition,
so many people not working today we are. Is this
(14:07):

it was a federal holiday. It's a federal hall. It
is a company. It is a Oh good, I don't
think we get special pay. No, we won federal holiday.
It's you can't work around that. We get dressed. Yeah,
come on, all right, Eddie's not here on a company holiday,
I believe. All right, I'm sorry. It is the Ben
(14:30):

also on X at Ben Malor, That is at Ben
Malor if you want to be part. But I've offended
the Mister Beast crowd. They're very upset with me. They
(14:51):
believe that the mister Beast is like Jesus, and I've
attacked Jesus because I I don't get the whole Mister
Beasts thing. He was at the NBA All Star Game,
so I'm sure we'll get some more reaction to that.
We'll have some fun facts this hour all of that,
and what if your team added a polter geist of
(15:12):
years gone by? We'll get to that. And also seven Heaven?

You can say my name, but it's Ben keep forgetting that, Hi, Lorena.
Big Valentine's Day for you, Lorain, A big, big weekend,
super big. Did it go as well as you were
hoping it was going to go?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Okay, it it was okay, It was all right. You
survived another Valentine's Day. But you look forward to Valentine's
Day looking at me weird? A big, big event for
you? You know, I just love gifting you like getting gifts.
You like receiving. Yes, I did you receive a lot
of gifts? Were people very nice to you? Did they
spoil you?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
No one as much as the listeners shout out listen,
yeah they love you. They love you. And before you
worked in the show, I was the one that used
to get all the gifts. You have a gift right there.
There is a box here. I've not opened the box.
I'm waiting for the ratings to get higher. You know,
I know when people are tuning into the show and
I will I have what's it? Will play? What's in
the box? I don't know what's in the box? We
(17:31):
should go live. I thought I knew what was in
the box, but I don't know what's in the box.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I think in defense of the listener spoiling Lorena with gifts,
no of you not getting as many gifts as you
used to gifts. Yeah, you also used to eat and
now you don't.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Well, I didn't. The majority of the gifts are food.
That is true. That is true. We do get a
lot of food. So you're saying that if I went
off the wagon or I went back on the food wagon,
that I would get more.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yes, I thought people would start bringing us more sandwiches. Yeah,
well not just that, but like the stuff that they
sent in the mail. Oftentimes it's food as well.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well, you gotta remember, Coop, were you here when we
were getting cake? Every other week we get these designer cakes.
I got so fat, I gained so much weight. I'd
lost all this weight, and we kept getting these like
really expensive cakes that were delivered with Oh they were
all that. A camel cake. We had to chuck the
condor cake. I had a camel cake. Oh, it was amazing.
This local bakery here, the cake benefactor would hook us
(18:27):
up with cake and it was great. Although they looked
the fund It does not taste good. I love fonding.
Oh my gosh, that is you're a liar. I'm not
even does it tastes this on cakes?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
When Bo had his daughter's cake here, that birthday cake,
I took all the fondent off and I ate all
of it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
That is disgusting. It's like eating paper funded. It looks good,
but it's not something to eat. No, it's disgusting, and
you can't compare it to like a proper frosted cake.
Was that? What are you doing? What's wrong with you right,
let's go the phones and let's say hello to Let's
(19:03):
go Xavior. Who's in the great state of Tennessee. What's up, Xavier? Welcome?
It is the Ben Malor Show. Welcome, Xavior.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I do.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
If I was any better, I'd be a star, but
not an All Star because that NBA All Star game
was a dud man.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
That was bull crap.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I agree with you though on the youtub like how
he does and stuff. I don't agree with that. But
my question is coming from a coach, when I delivered,
we delivered place and stuff and in videotape is the
wrong too, because we're promoting, like to be better like
in our community. You see, they're like a difference.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Know what do you I'm confused here? So you say,
as a coach, like you have you you're doing charity,
promoting the charity. Is that what you're complaining about?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
No?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Like, okay, So like the dude he goes around here,
I think, like, mister Bate, yes you are.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm gonna blow you. You can feed homeless people without
recording it. It is possible to feed homeless people without
having a camera rolling and taking photos. It can happen.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Okay, yeah, it can't.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
It can't, but it's the heart behind it.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Correct, Well, wouldn't the heart, You wouldn't need the camera.
If you have the heart, you don't need the camera.
You just know you're doing the right thing. And the
person getting the food, the homeless person getting the food,
is the one that's getting the good out of it.
You don't need to let people know. It's called it's
called virtue. It's called virtue signaling. I get emails from
a lot of these sports teams, and it's pretty funny
(20:35):
because it'd be like, like, the Dodgers will send me
an email, Mookie Betts will be giving away turkeys from
noon to two. Make sure your camera crew arrives at
eleven thirty and records, and then you know it's like,
oh yeah, they send out they said out. How do
you think it ends up on the local TV? They
send out news releases, said sending that's saying that so
and so is gonna be here doing a charity act.
(20:57):
It's and all the there's the Dodgers. I just pointed
that out, but all the teams do it. They send
out news releases to the local media, so they record
their acts of charity. So they they get publicity.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
But what do you think you should do with the draft?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Look at that? See that that is a carved ball.
You go from a charity, take to it. I would
trade the pick. How about that? I would trade down, down, down, down, down,
because I'm looking at these top players.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Yes, what yes, trade up, pick, trade But Sanders has
bust written all over him.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Award, I don't think you'd do that.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Good? What about Ward?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Though? I don't. I don't see superstar. I don't see
franchise changing quarterback. I don't do you. I don't see that.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
You like me reading it about the asthma rain out
on the date on the radio?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Man, woh, that would be a fair That would be fair.
That would be a very expensive date, sirre you'd have
a lot of there's a there's a she's geographically undesirable, sir,
I believe. But oh yes, yeah, yeah, all right, thank
you all. There's a Xavier.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Man you here that I sound expensive.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
You're bogie bougie. I can't say it. You know, Andre,
who's in the Commonwealth?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Andre, Welcome Andre?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Hello, Bet how you doing?
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Listen?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
We got to get on the right page with this
All Star game. This was a tour de force compared
to what we've seen before. Okay, this was a marked difference.
We're talking night and day in terms of the moribund,
absolutely unwatchable layup line All Star games that we've had
over the last couple of years. So I'm a little
bit befuddled by some of the negativity surrounding this based
(22:46):
on where we're coming from. They scored over three. It's
goed close to four hundred points in the last All
Star Game, which prompted Adam Silver and the brain Trust
to get together and say we got to do something.
And what they did was give us three competitive.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
So why don't we just do all NBA games first
to forty? Let's just do it. How about that? We'll
just do every night you go out to the arena.
You know Celtics are playing the Knicks first to forty,
end the game. How about that?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Okay, then I see what you're saying, But we can't
do that? Never mind?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Why not? It's just good for the All Star Game?
Why do not we do it every night? You just
say we won't have time. We'll just do first to
forty and that's it. You know, when you go play
pick up basketball at the park. Sometimes you'll do you know,
first to ten or whatever whatever it might be, then
just do that boom done.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
We needed the sense of urgency. Then that's what we
got with the forty points, not fifty, not sixty forty
meaning we're out here, you know what I mean, like we're.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
At the listen. We disagree. You thought it was good.
I didn't think it was all that good. I thought
it was stupid. And I watched it because I you know,
obviously for the job. I watched it, and that's fine.
And I thought the most interesting part was Draymond Green
ripping the event on television at the event, and he's
a broadcaster being paid to cover the event and he
(23:56):
ripped it. I give him credit because that takes a
lot of balls. But then I love Charles Barr Barkley's response,
where Barkley's like, hey, stupid. Essentially, the reason this is
like this is because you idiots screwed up the All
Star Game. Uh, And that's really what I mean. That's
I know it'll probably never go back to the way
it had been, but I just I don't like it.
It's not it's not for me. You thought it was cool,
you liked it, and to me, this is so drastic.
(24:17):
It's not the product you're selling during the season. It's
a different product. Just like the Pro bowls stupid and
they've ruined the Pro Bowl. It's the same thing with
the NBA All Star Game then the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
We're playing flag football versus actual football. It's gotten to
that extent.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well, the NBA is playing first to forty. They're not
playing a forty eight minute game. It's the same it's
it's the same thing. It's not the product they serve
up every night in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Because under that scenario, we couldn't whether they drafted players,
whether it was East versus West. The job wasn't getting done.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But that's my point. So rather than be able to
get the players actually put an honors different in you,
you're serving up a different product. It's like if you
ran a pizzeria and you're like, oh, well, we're not
gonna serve pizza. We're gonna serve hot dogs instead of
we're just serving hot dogs. It's maybe they're good hot dogs,
but it's not pizza. You're a pizza rha. You're serving
(25:11):
up winers.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
We have to find a way to get a scenario.
And this is my conclusion.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Why why is it so hard? Andre though? Why is
it so difficult? It's because of the money, right, these
guys are all so rich. They all love each other.
There's no competitive spirit. That's really with the problem. The
underlying condition the NBA is all these guys grow up together.
I get it. They're all part they're all star players
at a young age. They all travel the same circuit.
They all know each other from playing basketball's kids, and
(25:39):
so they don't really hate each other. There's no real
rivalry there, and so what you get is grab ass
in the All Star game.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Listen, we gotta do it. A Rome was not building today, man, Okay,
we're not gonna get Larry Bird level dedication and effort
Larry Joe Bird who worked as a dog on garbage
man when he left Indiana before going on to Indiana
State then coming to the NBA to being all time great.
Nobody's conceding the fact that these players do not have
the eye of the tiger like they did in previous generations.
The point of fact is, again, Rome not built in
(26:09):
a day. We have to take steps to get there,
and this was a very positive step to the three
hundred and ninety eight million points they scored in the
last couple of years, did you.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Put a cap on it? So there's no way, I mean,
there's no way they're gonna scored. You put more of
a higher cap. It was forty that's it. The most
they could have scored is forty points in any one
of these games. So they played what three games? So
one hundred and twenty is the most. That's it. They
put a cap on one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You got a number of other callers that have to
let them in. Then they actually play defense and ca
Yeah right, okay, but we're gonna give credit where credit
is due. It's it's not a penn ultimate mass.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You don't get credit for You don't get credit for
doing what you're supposed to do. I don't understand. I
don't Why would you give credit? That's your your gig?
All right? I love you, Andre, but you're you're wrong.
But thank you. Have a great day. Let's see who
do we have any meaning? Mney must to Jed who
fled for some hot Daytona five hundred talk Hello Jed
(27:04):
who fled?
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Welcome, Oh my god, dude, Thurday night boys, and they
missed the show. Zero, man, I.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Want hey Jed, Jed uh are you calling on a
mister microphone or a tin can and a string? What
are you calling her? Let me go around the room here,
because maybe it's just my headphones. I don't know my
(27:35):
hearings going. I've been a radio a long time. Uh.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
I'm guarantee you to think of better. Now it's the
backwo South your own speaker phone. It makes zero stin.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Okay, now, okay, so now you've you've put your mouth
right on the phone. You're now spitting now it sounds good.
Continue to call.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
You spinning into your ear, dude, that is weirdness. Heyas
you know, being has not done as due dilicits and
found out in the real fact. This is the homeless
people's camera crew and they want to be caught on cameras.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yes, there's nothing homeless people like more than being recorded
at the weakest moment in their lives.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Yes, amen, I got a clue following me all the time? Man,
we need I don't even understand what that guys talking about.
Bragging conveyed information about an individual's good deeds, making them
look generous, but bragging suggests the selfish motivation undermine the generosity. Dude,
and true he chose the name of any Christ out
of revelations. You're giving young kids money, influencing their opinions,
(28:30):
you might as well be safe. Okay, mister beast, that's
exactly what it is being great job, great job diagnosing that.
Or do you do you know, if you're a great person,
you give away money because because money's read of valuable. Nope,
the love of money is the root of all evil.
Now you think, did you just cooked the Bible?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
No?
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I didn't. I got grey talks. I realized that would
be a little too far. And maybe you know the
the same hypocrut.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yes, well, you have a love hate relationship with the Bible.
You love it, but there's certain parts of it you
do not believe in. But there's other parts of it
you're definitely believe in. So it's a love.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Hate No, there's George end Leviticus, there's a averse the
sanctions selling you're a dollar into slavery. Don't believe in that. However,
if I got it right now, though, probably gonna burn
for Turny, no doubt about it. He's very toasty. Let's
let's move off that. How about this news. I got
a career. I've got a career idea a food truck,
but not selling food, but with God who weds on
the side of it. And I've gotta get ordained as
(29:23):
a ministroduced now blasphemos, and I do this wedding? Do
you do? You person that I can't remember your name?
Females take uh the guys from des Moines, I got
walk right. See, there's no doubt I say that.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, yeah, well you could do the way Kelly Donut
Kelly which is now des Moines Kelly, and you could
go there to des Moines and be like the honorary. Uh, yeah,
the preacher.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
If I was, if I was Shane, I would stand
like a like a state, like come get the groin
from des Moines like a pips you mean something often
like that, and that'd be cool for the basketball party.
Tell me how often you are a basketball are you?
I'm agguing? You say you have several women on your lap.
You're pretty large, And.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah, I haven't been to a bachelor party in a
long time. It's been many, many years since I've done that.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Yeah, you've been invited. I'm gonna I'm not gonna have that.
I know it's happened that I have.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
No, I have been invited. I don't usually that don't
usually go.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You know.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Yeah, I like if I was coherent and put my
fences together consc pretty normally, you think i'd get like
the able to do a dispretation?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, sure, sure, why not? Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Oh damn dude, I did not check that answer. Man,
I've got.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I think you're I think you're a great BS artist,
jet I think you you clean up your act a
little bit. You can do whatever you want. You can
take over the world. Okay. There He hung up on
that note. All right. He was shocked by that answer
so much he had to leave. Let's go to Chris,
who's in Cincinnati. What's going on? Chris? Welcome and how
(30:58):
you doing? If I would is any better? I'd be
a Red, but not a Cincinnati Red because they stink
alom maria.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
But I don't like Cincinnati Reds.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
But anyway, Yeah, no, I hear you.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
As the winner. How much is Mike DeWine going to
be a doll kitcher Nicks?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
He's running for dog catcher, Yes, yes, yeah, he's got
posters up to be a dog dog catcher. That's it's
a big position. Did you just wake up to make
that phone call? Is that your take? Do you stayed
on hold to make that take? That's your take? No,
that's an that's an opening take. That was like a starter.
That was like a where's Eddie? Probably sleeping right now?
(31:40):
And he's probably in bed right now sleeping.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
What the hell I thought he was?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
He was my sidekick? Yes, he was for many many years.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
He kicked it.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Then the company decided he wasn't my sidekick anymore. Yes,
a man, I love your shoe. Well, thank you. I
appreciate that. Edie's got a podcast. Why don't you listen
to Eddie's podcast? He's got a hockey podcast. Used to
listen to his podcast. He'll enlighten you about hockey. How
about that? Anyway?
Speaker 6 (32:10):
I worry about my wine. The Burber taxis cigarette taxes.
What about taxation?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yes, say no to all taxes, because all the politicians
do is steal our tax money and they do not
use it properly. So just know on all taxes. That's
what I say. I'm an anti taxation person, that's what
I stand for. And I'm in a state which taxes
me more than I can imagine. So that's a freaking
(32:40):
nightmare anyway. All right, it is the the Ben Malor Show.
As we are rolling, rolling, rolling through the overnight hours
and little seven heaven action here. How about Ravens Kicker
Justin Tucker? And over the weekend another report seven more
women have stepped up and come on down. Yes, seven
(33:02):
more women have now accused Tucker of touchy feely activity
inappropriate misconduct at high end massage locations. So now it's
sixteen for Justin Tucker, the Ravens Kicker. Sixteen women who
have accused him of They just lining up. Yeah, they
(33:24):
are lining up, very similar to the Deshaun Watson. Hello.
The allegations not quite as bad. They say, intense eye contact, Lorena.
That the kind of a complaint is that, yes, you're
in this industry. I cannot, I cannot. I tend to
(33:45):
agree with you, Lenna, but that's what it says in
the latest allegations. Tucker, Well, he was he did leave
like a tartar sauce behind, which is a problem. But
that intense eye contact were some of the allegations there.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
So yeah, all right, I'll never be able to look
at Tartar Sauces.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I went to uh, I did have We had had
training one time and they talked about they called it
elevator eyes that you can be uh you go the
up and down the elevator eyes is sexual misconduct? Oh
thought that. Yeah, don't look at anyone, do not stare
at anyone's Uh yeah, but isn't the case Lorena, Like
(34:23):
if guys aren't kind of looking, that's a bad sign. Right,
There's like, isn't there And maybe I'm wrong on this,
but isn't there like this thing where you kind of
want people to look because that means you're attractive, But
then if they don't look, then that's probably not a
good Yeah, I seem everyone's always looking, right, I mean,
what do you think there's kind of that sweet spot
where you kind of want people look because that means
you're attractive, and if they're not looking, that probably means
(34:44):
you're not that attractive anymore. That might be a problem.
I'm just saying, what do I know? Anyway? It is
the Ben Malor Show, and we'll get to that Poultergeis
story a little bit later. Time out for the Inswer
Trivia Blank is the only first overall pick in the

pick in the twenty first century to win the Super
Bowl with the team that drafted them Tennessee. Right now
on the clock, we'll have the first pick in the
draft this year. Kim Cantrell guess by I forty Ian
Peyton Manning from gumby Dave ned Yost from Mister Nice Guy,
Jed who fled from Malard prop Guy, A lot of Guys,
(36:36):
President Lyndon B. Johnson from Shane into moinertis President's Day,
Chris disqualified Paul Yeah, what a wonderful story that was
the All Star Saturday Night sullied by a cheating scandal.
Kim jong Und from King Rory ned and Nebraska going
(36:57):
with Peyton Manning. Who else? Lincoln Kennedy from Eek Mister Unlimited,
Andy in Line O Lakes, Minnesota, Ryan Lee from Robin Minnesota,
Harry Doyle from Our Buddy Big Greg and Iowa. Pete
Rose from Johnny Q. Patty Mahomes tossed out by John
(37:17):
Nate Tiny Archibald from Mark in Santa Monica. Who else
do you have? Page Dan can't read that on the air,
Mister Spock guest by Alf the Alien, o Pinert Lorraina,
What say you? Lorena it's gotta be ned Flanders Bank,
the great ned Flanders, everyone's favorite neighbor Ned Flanders unfortunately
(37:39):
is incorrect. The blank the only first overall picking the
twenty first century to win the Super Bowl with a
team that drafted, and that would be the great Eric
Fisher in twenty thirteen by Canza's city in Super Bowl
fifty four. Peyton Manning drafted in the last century. Here
we go, it's Meller. How about that?
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The third?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Here we go, Here we go, It's real.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
A report over the weekend suggested that Aaron Rodgers pleaded
with the Jets to give him another chance.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Bet are you buying that? I don't think anyone has
ever pleaded with the Jets to play another season with
the Jets, So I don't believe that now. I do
think that Aaron Rodgers wants to play again and he
doesn't want to leave the NFL world. But why would
you beg to play for the Jets. If you want
to play for a bad team, you can play for
the Titans, or you know, there's plenty of bad teams
that need the Raiders, that need quarterbacks. So I'm a
(38:36):
little skeptical, but I'm sure my man Aaron Rodgers will
Pat hang out with Pat McAfee and straighten the record. Coope,
we'll get to the bottom of this one way or another.
We are gonna hear whether or not that report is
legitimate or not about Aaron Rogers, so you just relax.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Next, the Giants are in need of a franchise quarterback,
and an NFL inside suggested this weekend that they would
have to give up a significant haul to get the
number one overall pick. They'd have to give the number
three pick, at least one second rounder and possibly more.
Ben do you see them more the Titans making that deal. No,
there are years to make that trade. This is not
(39:16):
one of the years to make that trade. This is
not it right.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
And wasn't it Jimmy Johnson that came up with the
formula of the point system for how much each draft
pick's worth and how much you have to give up
to get that pick. And now, if you're the Giants,
stay at the number three. But they should do is
get Matthew Stafford. He's a Tier three quarterback, but the
Giants have had Tier five quarterbacks for several years, and
(39:41):
gets Stafford in there, and he's at least not going
to embarrass you unless he completely falls off the map,
which many have with the Giants. But keep the number
three pick and get Stafford, and I think that would
be the way to go next. After the Slam Dunk Contest.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
On Saturday, John Morant tweeted, Mac might make me decide
to dunk.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
A lot of people speculate that this means the Morans
could join the contest next year. Do you think it
happens and if so, would it make a difference.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Well, the fact that Mac mac McClung right three years
in a row, Mack McClung, he's played in five NBA
games and won three dunk contests, is fascinating, but not
edge you John Morant say that, then Gianni Sai Dan
to Cumbo said, if you do it, I'll do it.
This the NBA players, it's machiezma. They don't want to
embarrass themselves in the Slam Dunk Contest by not winning
(40:29):
the Slam. It's why Lebron's never been part of the
Slam Dunk Contest because they're afraid of embarrassing themselves. Make
the make the Slam Dunk Contest great again. I'm all
for it. I'll believe it when I see it. I
don't buy it. How did we do you passes? That
is a win. I want to write out Happy President's Day,
President's Day, President's Day,
