Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka laka. It's our number two, So why didn't
the Vikings rule out pursuit of airon Rogers will parse
the words of the Minnesota GM. Also, Russell Wilson says
he expects to be the Giant's QB one. Are you surprised?

(00:21):
Is there any chance he's not the QB one? And
what will it take for the NFL to consider some
gimmicky on side kick alternative.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
NFL says they're not going to do that.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
They're too highbrow for that. We'll talk about all that
and more right now here. It is as we stumble
in our number two, parsing words. That's what we do.
We parse words. Well come, in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
We are in the.

(01:41):
I know Tom and Fullerchin not fergnk. Tom and Fullertin
loves the number ten thousand. And it's really warmed up
there in Siberia. I think the high end Fullugin yesterday
was about two degrees and they call that a heat.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Wave is what they call that.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So our lead this hour, as we slide into our
number two, the word salad. Now, I am an anti
salad guy. I think that vegetables should should live a
full life, and.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I don't want to see any vegetables killed for someone's
pleasure for food. So I don't eat.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I don't eat salad uh and and I have that
in common with al Michaels and Puka Nkua.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
We don't eat salad.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
But our lead this hour is from Minaesota Quarterback Room
Upset Department, the Minnesota Vikings who do.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Not have an established quarterback.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
They didn't have one last year in Sam Darnold, and
they won a bunch of games.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Right worked out pretty well.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Of course, he didn't work out very well at the
end in the final couple games.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
But the GM of the Vikings.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Quasy, Adolpho Mensa, that's a mouthful, quasy, Adolpha Mensa. Now
he confirmed that Amaron Rogers and Kevin O'Connell, that's the coach,
had a pow wow. They in fact a lot of conversations,
and that prompted in organizational dialogue about Rogers.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Now, what is this all about?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
You?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I don't if you heard the rest of this. The
GM there, Udolpho Mensa said, it's a new thing to
talk about a player at that caliber, sounding giddy, sounding excited.
The GM said that about Rogers, now, Adolpha Mensa. The
GM in Minnesota said that he did not rule out
eventually circling back to Rogers. However, he said, quote right now,

(03:34):
we're really happy with our quarterback room.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Both quote all right, So let us discuss.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Question why didn't the Vikings general manager quazy udolpha mensa,
Why didn't this guy rule out the pursuit of Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
So I've got.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Bruno, mars Evil Twin and Rodent. We'll combine all these
things together. We're gonna make a juicy Lucy that is
the go to food and delicious in Minnesota's absolutely wonderful.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
So number, wa, I said number.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
So the GM of the Vikings here, it's weasel terminology right,
corporate speak. The GM here at a doophamensa. Now he
said the Vikings were very happy with their quarterback room.
But if you listen closely, you could hear a Bruno
Mars song leave the door open, Like that's what he's said,
leaving the door open. The Minnesota GM added the stipulation

(04:37):
right now, right like, I'm full right now, but I
could be hungry. I might be hungry later and I'll probably,
but right now I'm full. I can't guarantee I'm gonna
be full an hour from now or two hours from now.
So there's some some fine print. Now, Aaron Rodgers is
running the four corners offense, and he is dragging this out.

(05:00):
And remember that our friend Andrea, the sports astrology lady
Virgo and service there on X. She says that Rogers
is likely waiting as close as he can to mercury
getting out of retrograde, but it'll still be in retro shade.
But that's April seventh, so we've got I think it's April, said,
we got some time. It's in early April, so we

(05:22):
got some time before we get to that point, but
we assume he's inching closer to Pittsburgh, could be walking there.
So until he's off the board, you're saying there's a
chance the Minnesota will add a veteran to the mix
at some point.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
They have to.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
And if the GM of the Vikings thinks the quarterback
room of Brett Rippon and JJ McCarthy is good, if
that's a good mix, then he must be having some
really good acid. My god, you are tripping if you
think Brett Rippin is good.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Now. Hey, I'm a poet. I don't even know it. Now.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
We also hear that in Eternally there's some chatter the
reason the Vikings were even contemplating bringing in Aaron Rodgers
is despite the exterior of J. J. McCarthy being pretty solid, right,
there's some questions about how mature he is behind the
scenes there. Apparently he's got some some things he's gotta
work through. Is every young player does, and so there's

(06:19):
some issues about that inside the building.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Now.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
McCarthy is currently recovered from snap Crackle Poppy had porn
minisseu oh my, oh, my name, my meniscus. He suffered
that just before the start of last season. Remember had
that big preseason game and then and then that was it.
So certainly McCarthy's in the pole position. But you can't
eliminate Rogers until he goes and signs. And he hasn't

(06:44):
signed with Pittsburgh yet, And every day that goes by,
there's more of a chance that he will not go
to Pitchman.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Even though it seems like it's guaranteed. Maybe he's on
vacation somewhere.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
He might be out in the Amazon drinking some ayahuasca
with you know, Joe Rogan, who knows all right now
page two to Jersey we go now. One day, just
one day after agreeing to a deal, Russell Wilson came
out and announced that he expects to be the Giants
starting quarterback in twenty twenty five. Wilson got a one

(07:14):
year deal with ten and a half million dollars guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
It's loaded with incentives. It must be nice.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Here is Russ letting the world know, letting you know
that he's locked in on this.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
I expect to get them get the start and coming
here and degraded rock and roll every day to build
a lead.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
I think this team's really.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Looking for somebody to lead them in every way in
terms of the process, you know, in the offseason, during
the season, our habits and our thought process and how
we create you know, a great winning culture and how
do we continue to establish that and to really build
on all the things that we do well and the
things that we continue to need to do.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
So, as you know, Russ, well, I'll get into it
in a minute. But Russell Wilson, boy, listen to him
talk how Upliftingrussell Wilson says.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
As you heard there, he expects to be the Giant's.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
QB number one. Are you surprised? So obviously you roll
your eyes. And why would you be surprised? Right, remember
Eric Spolsro years ago said I wouldn't have it any
other way, and Russ would say, I wouldn't have it
any other way. And here's why blame Russell Wilson's evil twin,

(08:26):
mister mister unlimited, Mister unlimited Russell Wilson. That's his alter ego,
total jack Wagon sprinkles the clown. Now, financially, Russell Wilson
needs to play so he can make an extra ten
and a half million dollars. Otherwise he's gonna have to
be down at the soup kitchen and he won't be

(08:46):
able to pay his mortgage. So there's a variety of
incentives and escalators, and of course if you don't don't play,
those escalators become elevators and they only go down.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
They only go down. Now we are hearing that the
carrot on the stick.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Here the Giant's front office insinuated that Russell Wilson would
get the.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
First crack at the starting job.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Wilson is joined by Tommy Cutlass, Tommy DeVito, folk hero
who's hanging on by a thread, and also fellow free
agent Jamis Winston on the depth chart. Now, Winston is
being paid a backup contract, so it's more likely he's
not there. The Veto's toast if the Giants draft a
quarterback high and so, what I would do is I

(09:31):
would pencil in Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
On your depth chart.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
I would pencil him in with a number two pencil
with a nice eraser, and I would not use a
ballpoint pen.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I would avoid a ballpoint pen. I wouldn't use a
ballpoint pen. There's no need for a ballpoint pen because
it's subject to change. I would go with Jameis Winston.
I would side by side. I would rather play Jamis Winston.
You're gonna suck either way.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
All roads lead to Suckville, but I'd rather go to
Suckville on the.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Jamis Winston trade the one man band. Mister fun. Russell
Wilson's not fun. What does he know about winning? I mean,
Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Jumped on the backs of the legion of boom defense
in Seattle, and since he left Seattle it's been a
hot mess all right now. Final point to the rules
of the game.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
The rules of the game. So after much debate in
past years, it.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Appears that the NFL will not be tinkering with one
of the worst parts of the sport. They are satisfied
to keep one of the worst parts of the sport
as it is now. The NFL executive vice president of
Football Ops Troy Vincent used to play.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Back in the day he announced that the league.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Will not be overhauling the on side kick play, which
is a nothing burger, Vincent saying that all this talk
of different gimmicky ideas that the NFL decided the are
not up to standard for the National Football League like
it somehow is below the billion dollar babies to have

(11:09):
a play that actually has a chance of.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Succeeding where the current setup does not.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
So question for the esteem panel, what will it take
for the NFL to consider a quote gimmicky on sidekick alternative.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
What would it take?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
So I've got Rodents, lab Rats and we'll mix those together,
and that is what's gonna take. Because you've got the
Canadian Football League and the UFL. I don't even know
what the I think the UFL is what the XFL
used to be, and another league and they more merged together.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I don't know. I don't watch it.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
So if you take the Canadian Football League on one side,
and then you mix together in a mixing bowl, a
stand mixer, and you put the Canadian Football League in
the UFL together and he was put in there like
the BC Lions and the win Pick Blue Bombers, and
you put them in there and you experiment with the recipe.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
You gotta do some beta testing. Now.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I remember years ago when Vince McMahon was in good
standing and the professional wrestling Operations started the XFL, the
original XFL. They had strippers and hot tubs.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
In the end zone. They had he hate me, It was.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
It was wild, and the NFL people just snubbed their nose,
you know that west of the four h five elitist attitude.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
They were just we're so we're so much better, per snickety.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
And it turned out that a couple of the ideas
that the XFL were testing, they were doing the beta
testing line.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
It came to the NFL. They fetched around, and so
that's what it's gonna take.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
That then the NFL can see I recommend a fourth
down and fifteen play one play to get a first down,
and if you get it, you get to keep possession
of the ball.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I think that'd be a lot of fun. I think
that'd be great. It's rather pointless.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
It's a futile act the on sidekick the way it
is right now, and these minor league organizations are the
test kitchen for the NFL, and.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
You see if what you're serving up people like. And
then the NFL gets off their high horse and.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
They're like, all right, well maybe we'll do it, but
we didn't test it out. Same thing happens in television
and a buddy of mine worked on they should be
a show at Fox called the Best damned Sports Show Period,
and it was mocked and ridiculed back in the day,
but they tried different stuff and some of the things
on that show that were experimental have become over the years,

(13:37):
they become standard.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
But they were the first ones to do it. They
were the guinea pig.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
They tested it out and that's usually how it works.
That's normally how that operation goes. It is the Ben
Mahlor Show as we are working our way through the overnight.

And this is outstanding.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
A NFL player you've heard of has now had a
rule named after them.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
The NFL has gotten rid.

say hello to Let's go to Todave. I guess Dave's

(17:09):
changed his name on the show.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
David in Houston. Dave? Is this correct? Dave? You've come
by a new moniker. You're no longer transgender?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Dave?

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Is that accurate? Would you like to announce something on
the air name?

Speaker 8 (17:20):
Yeah? You know, the President has ordained that there are
only two sexes now, so I had to choose, So
I've chosen to be how an it hurts me to
say this a man.

Speaker 7 (17:36):
Choosing to be a goat.

Speaker 9 (17:37):
Come on, that's not.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
The only grievance I have. I don't want to give
you too much information here, but I was just just
making love to the wife and she had a far
away look in her eye, and I said, honey, is
there someone else? And she said there must be?

Speaker 9 (17:57):
Oh, my life.

Speaker 8 (18:00):
Yeah, it hurts.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
That's horrible.

Speaker 8 (18:03):
Anyway, man, I'm concerned that as the Astros giveaway ability
to father Time, I'm afraid that their skills will fade
and you won't hate them the way you have over
the last eight years.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, as long as our two ba's there, I can
still hate them.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
So just make sure our two bay's there, and I'll
hate them.

Speaker 8 (18:26):
Well.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
When our two Bay's gone, I can't. I can't guarantee it.
I can't guarantee.

Speaker 8 (18:34):
That's what I was worried about, because we've been feeding
off of your hatred for the last eight years.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, so it's worked out very well.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
You have no World Series to show for it, Dave
none zero, zippo and.

Speaker 8 (18:47):
Some now that the Dodgers have taken all their billions
of dollars and they brought up all the baseball talent.
I want to congratulate them for ruining Major League babes than.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Congratulating the Dodgers have made baseball great again. The Dodgers
have made.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Baseball great again because everyone now is rallying. It's like
who you're like, your team and whoever the Dodgers play.
You want to kick the.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Snot out of every the Dodgers, the Dodgers. You want
to you want to win your game, and then whoever's
playing the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
So it's good. You need a bad guy every story.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
You got a good guy and a bad guy and
the Dodgers. If you're not a Dodger fan, obviously you're not.
You like a team that cheats, then you should be
very happy.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
This is wonderful.

Speaker 8 (19:30):
You know, uh, four years from now when I get
to re establish my my real identity.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
You're waiting for the next election.

Speaker 8 (19:39):
Yeah, I've always I don't want to get personal, but
I've always suspected you might be one of those heteronormative
syst under males I've been hearing about.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Not even know what that means, but yes, probably so
well really is he really is?

Speaker 2 (19:53):
What does that mean? I don't know what that means?

Speaker 7 (19:55):
You're just a white man who likes women.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Well, oh really, all right, guilty guilty as to yards,
all right, guilty on all accounts.

near the rhino and the elephant thing. I want to
be with the rhinos and the elephants in the zoo.

Speaker 8 (20:16):

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Do it for the all right, thank you, Dave. There
you go.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
There's formally transgender Dave. And he's announced a big announcedment.

Speaker 7 (20:27):
He's just back to Dave, one of the great His
wife is no longer interested in him.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yes, she's found someone else she's interested in, apparently.

Speaker 7 (20:34):
And I do want to I want to make a
point here.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yes, Loraena, what would you like to add to the show?
Go ahead?

Speaker 7 (20:38):
Because he said they were going to take over the world.

Speaker 2 (20:41):

Speaker 7 (20:43):
I thought he meant transgender people.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh did he? I don't know what he I don't
know what he was.

Speaker 7 (20:47):
But they only make up one percent of the population.
They got to grow, We got to get more out there.

Speaker 2 (20:51):

Feel like, I feel like Lebron on the Pat McAfee show.
You just really made me feel good.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Thank you for that. Go away. Let's hello to E
Dog in New York. Hello, E Dog?

Speaker 9 (23:41):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Well you are? You're on me?

Speaker 6 (23:47):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (23:47):
How's everything?

Speaker 8 (23:50):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (23:51):
Didn't you hear me?

Speaker 8 (23:51):
Now?

Speaker 9 (23:53):
No, okay, I want to talk anyway, here we go.
I have a resentment about one of my coach is
when I used to play baseball, I played for Komak
in the Kopek Tournament and I played short stop and
I mean three assists in the first inning.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
And I don't think I don't think.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
They don't think they I don't think they call him assists.
That's a basketball term. I don't think that's a baseball term.

Speaker 9 (24:18):
No, when you go to third the first base, it's
a system in the ending, I think.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
No, no, that's not the worst anyway you're using.

Speaker 9 (24:28):
I hit them all up the wall, and I got
a question for Lorraine after me. Yeah, okay, what do
me and you have in common? And let's see if
Ben Maler can chime in and guess.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
All right, let's see.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
I think that you E Dog and Lorena have both
seen Taylor Swift in concert.

Speaker 9 (24:51):
That's what I wish. But that's not the right.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Thing, the right answer.

Speaker 7 (24:54):
Okay, My guess is that we both just learned about
Charles Manson like two weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, and wait a minute, I got it.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I got it that neither Lorena or E Dog know
who Willie Mays was.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
One hundred and sixty home runs.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
That means you're wrong, Ben, Yeah, okay, let's okay.

Speaker 9 (25:13):
How about this, I'll tell you the truth. We both
like the same team, are we?

Speaker 4 (25:20):
Cowboys?

Speaker 9 (25:22):
That's me and Lorenzi. Yeah, you were in a case
of flowers, Dog.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Why would you like the Cowboys? You grew up in
New York, But when you were.

mentioned Aaron Rodgers and the Cosmic Element, and with more
on that developing story, let's say hello to Andrea, who's

(28:17):
in Berkeley. Hello Andrea, the astrology lady Virgo in service
on ex Hello Andrea.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Hello, she's right now reading the Farmers Almanac.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
And she it's a page turner and she's here to
enlighten us.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, so you know, I'm a royal listener. And as
soon as I heard you mentioned Aaron Rodgers and delaying
the signing, very interesting synchronicity. Mercury is actually out of
retrograde April seventh.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Okay, so that is coming up. We were with the
ten days away now, is that right? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (28:57):
But here the thing Okay, so retrograde March fourteen to
April seventh, but until it gets back to one hundred
percent strength is two weeks later. So Fall Intents and
Purposes is out of retrograde April seventh. But remember you
heard me talk about retro shade when it's not one
hundred percent, but it is, you know, moving direct. So

(29:19):
I know there's the NFL draft, but you know he's
a client of one of my colleagues, so he's totally
tuned into astrology and mercury retrograde.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Well, is there a loophole though that he can say
I'm okay with the shade as long as we're out
of the retrograde, I'm in the shade. I can handle that,
but I can't, right, you can't wait forever, right.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
So fall intensive purposes. April seventh, Mercury is out of retrograde.
So sigh of relief there, and retro shade is not
usually as difficult as retrograde. So you know, if wanting
it to be perfect, it never gets done. That was Rahmdas,
one of my spiritual teachers. So that said, he's having
his midlife crisis December second, nineteen eighty three. Sagittaries is

(30:01):
a fire sign. It could be quite impatient, but he knows,
you know. Timing is everything, all.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Right, So April seventh is a it is a Monday. Yeah,
is April seventh there, and so that is coming up, yeah,
ten days away, ten days away from.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Here, right, So decisions right around that time, you know,
for Aaron Rodgers and anyone else who needs to be
making decisions. Mercury out of retrograde April.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Seventh, Okay, so that's the magical day. We'll keep an
eye on that. Does Rogers does he came in? And
then will the Steelers wait, we'll find out, all.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Right, Thank you Andrea.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Yes, thank you, Ben.

Speaker 2 (31:08):

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Go ahead, don't tell her, don't tell her, don't tell her.
Come on, I'll never get this. You're never going to
get this. What team does Ceedee Lamb play for?

Speaker 7 (31:22):
Seattle Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
That is a tremendous answer, And that's absolutely right amazing.
Well if you if you were looking the wrong direction,
you'd get it. No, he plays for a team that
is in Texas.

Speaker 7 (31:39):
Is it the Cowboys?

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Big Cowboys fan there, he's.

Speaker 10 (31:45):
Only the best player on the Cowboys.

Speaker 7 (31:47):
No, no, no, that's impossible.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Yeah, alright, well yeah, tremendous football knowledge. Anyway, Ceedee Lamb.
There is now the Ceedee Lamb rule. You know his
signature you, I'm not gonna bother to ask you his
signature celebration when he makes a big play, when he
he you know, he rubs his nose. The nose rub

(32:14):
and that has been deemed it's like a nose wipe, and.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Apparently that is taboo.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
I did not know this, but the NFL has outlawed
Cowboy Wide receiver Ceed Lamb and his signal nosewipe celebration.
It is now going to be a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
It has been deemed a violent gesture.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Wow, that's so are you serious? Well?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
I thought it was super too, but apparently this is
This reminds me of something that happened in the NBA
years ago. So let me give you the rest of
the story. As Paul Harvey would say, the the NFL
is complained that the NFL. Their argument, I guess is
that the nosewipe is a bang sign associated with the

(33:02):
Bloods and it is used to indicate someone is untrustworthy,
and so therefore they have outlawed CD Lamb, NFL receiver.
Do we have any members of the Bloods that are
listening they can call up. Can I get a blood
right now eight seven, seven ninety nine. You know, I
betually we've got members of the Crips and the Bloods
and all the all the different gangs pig fings.

Speaker 7 (33:23):
We're in LA. Of course we do well everywhere.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
I mean there's their national outfits, right they they've got
franchises everywhere.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
They got Crips here.

Speaker 7 (33:32):
But that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, they've they've gone international. No, so they're they're claiming
the NBA. Did I Coop mentioned it? But the NBA
a bunch of players were doing a celebration. It's probably
about ten fifteen years ago. That was a gang like
a gang thing or whatever, and the NBA had to
outlaw that. But how like, most people don't know that, right,

(33:54):
Who's going around like I know what that, I know
all the signals for the Crips and the Bloods.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Man, I got it all done. The most normal people
have no idea anyway.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
So the NFL included that in Rule twelve, Section three,
Article one D of the rule Book, any violent gesture
which shall include, but not be limited to, a throat slash,
simulating firing or brandishing a gun, or using the nosewipe gesture,
or any act that is sexually suggestive or offensive has

(34:26):
been has been banned. So no more CD LAMB nosewipe
unless the Bloods just pay for it and they pay
his fines and then they're.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Good to go.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
He started doing that since he's been in the NFL's
drafted back in twenty twenty, and he's one of the
top receivers according to Loreno on the Seattle Seahawks.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
And four straight, four straight tic tac toe appearances at
the Pro Bowl. And there you go, so wonderful.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
It is the Bean Mahlor show. Straight ou, We're gonna
have Mallard of the third degree. Mallard of the third degree.
But time now for the insta trivia, and here it

an usher at the beaver Falls, Pennsylvania movie theater, but

(35:20):
Now he is currently a manager in Major League Baseball. Again,
Blank's first ever job was as an usher at the
beaver Falls, Pennsylvania cinema, but his mom would not let
him work R rated movies. He is currently a manager
in Major League Baseball. That is the answer, Tributa.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
The Insta tribute.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Blank's first job was as an usher at the beaver Falls,
Pennsylvania Cinema, but his mom wouldn't let him work R
rated movies.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
He is currently a manager in Major League Baseball. So
that is the question. What is the answer? Well, who
do we have? Dave Chappelle, Yes, by Scrooge Mallard.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Prop guy is going with Late Night Rug tester as
his answer. Benito, the long suffering Cowboy fan says Bloods
member Cede Lamb is the answer, Jesse j who is
thirty seven today from Late Night Drug tester Planet Mercury
from ferg Dog Mister Fuji, Yes, by Alf the Alien Opiner.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Do you have an answer? Lorray? No? Do you?

Speaker 7 (37:28):
Robert de Niro?

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Ben? Uh No, that is incorrect.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
It is Terry Francona Sanana Red, It's Mallard.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
How about that?

Speaker 6 (37:41):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets grilled.

Speaker 10 (37:48):
Damian Lillard was diagnosed diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis on Thursday,
on Tuesday, and he was ruled out indefinitely. Now, Ben,
is this essentially a death knell to the Bucks season?

Speaker 2 (38:00):
No, because they were already dead.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
They hired Doc Rivers as the coach, so it doesn't matter, right.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I mean, I hope Lilard obviously can come back.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
I mean, it sounds like he's gonna miss the rest
of the year and all that. And they got to
get that straight in the way, obviously, because that can
kill you. But no, he's it's not The Bucks have
already been killed. They hired Doc Rivers. Now maybe they'll
win three games in a playoff series and it'll take
credit for it and they'll lose.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
But no, the Bucks weren't going anywhere anyway.

Speaker 10 (38:28):
Next, Luca Donzik's father did an interview with a TV
news station in Slovenia.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Lately and watching Slovenia news coop, Yeah, that's one of
my favorite pastimes. Good. He talked about Lucas trade to LA.

Speaker 10 (38:38):
And he went on to say, I, and this is
translated by the way, I just believe that he is
born for this city and this city has made for him.
I won't say literally, but it fits with his character.
I believe he'll succeed there. Ben, What do you think
the odds are that Lucas stays with LA pass his
current contract.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Well, based on recent history, it's not as great as
it used to be. But money talks and loyalty wall
So as long as the money's there, Lucas like an
LA guy. People that Laker historians kiss his ass, So
I think he'll stay. I would be shocked if he left.
I think it was a ninety five percent Chancey states.

Speaker 10 (39:11):
Next, it's being reported that Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is
drawing steady interest from the New Orleans Saints and that
other NFL teams were impressed with his pro day, Ben,
do you think a team could be getting a steal
with yours in the second or third round?

Speaker 2 (39:23):
Well, no, I don't think he's that good, so I'm
gonna go no. Cool. That's a win for me. I won, Fana, Well, Lorena, yeah,
Lorena said I won. I won. That's a win for me.
I got the cabbage.
