Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our Nbert.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We head to the land of the Juicy Lucy in Minnesota.
What do you make of reports saying that JJ McCarthy
has less than a ten percent chance of starting as
QB one for the Vikings, that instead Sam.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Darnold will be the starter.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And how do you decode the New Orleans running back
Alvin Camara's quote, I'm not a stat dude. How do
you decode that? He was commenting about his contract and
comparing himself to Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Was asked about that.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Also, why is the NFL tweaking the criteria for the
Comeback Player of the Year award.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's kind of obvious why they're doing that. But spell
it out for you. All of that coming your way
right now here.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It is our number two, a case of purple pause.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
If you will.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Ywhere right at your fingertips as we fan the breeze.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Coast to coast, border to order and.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Beyond on the mast and voicelessly powerful microphones of fs
are amminating live from the seat as we are backseat
driving we're broadcasting live from the ti rack dot com studios.
Tyrack dot com. We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
(01:41):
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stars, almost as many as the pounds. The
minor league player g Manje from Chicago sent me. He
sent me some video of some I think it's Cubs prospect.
Who's the round mound of baseball?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ten thousand recommending the Stars is a lot. Tire rack
dot com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
So our lead.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
This star is a grab bag NFL style grab bag.
A status update, status update out of Minnesota. The Vikings
made a big splash. Well they think it was a
big splash. We'll see whether it.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Was or not.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But the Vikings at the draft. Remember they got Michigan
man JJ McCarthy, the guy that was so good at Michigan.
He was often used as a decoy by Jim Harbaugh.
Now it sounds like he will indeed be collecting dust
on the sidelines. As our obligatory Maller monologue update on
the life and times of every rookie quarterback. Now we
(02:43):
go to Minnesota for the McCarthy update. If you have
not heard, we are told, have you missed it? We're
told there is a less than ten percent chance, less
than ten percent chance that the Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy
will start as the Viking quarterback over Sam Darnold in
week number one. We always monitor the airwaves. We don't
(03:05):
want radio silence, we want noise. There is chatter that
says coach Kevin O'Connell has put together a detailed, step
by step plan for McCarthy that'll require he hit certain
milestones before the team will allow him to be the
starting quarterback. So let us discuss the question, what do
you make of the report saying that McCarthy JJ McCarthy
(03:28):
has a less than ten percent chance of starting as
QB one for the Vikings right out of the gates.
So I've got diagnosis, shopping cart, and Donald Trump, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to head to the outback is where we're
going to head.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
So number Kevin O'Connell, the head coach in Minnesota, is.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Getting flowers from many of the media elites for this
meticulous approach. I've seen a couple of stories that have
crossed my radar. The football scribes, social media pundits are
praising this methodical approach way to go Bramo.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And to that, I say, excuse my French FUOI I'm not.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Gonna go full tuna from Laguna because then I would
be dumped. But listen, we don't know if McCarthy can play.
I'm not gonna sit here and say that Jason McCarthy
can play. I have my doubts. I absolutely have my doubts.
But we do know that Sam Donald stinks.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That is proven.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
We have a lot of data on Sam Donald being
a dog with fleas. Now I am not a doctor,
but I can't play one on the radio and my
diagnosis this is some old fashioned paralysis by analysis.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Learn from playing, you don't learn from watching.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I've said that for years, and I believe you toss
him in the ocean or in this case, Lake Minnetonka,
and you see whether or not they can swim or not,
and do not be stuck in neutral spinning your wheels.
But what do we know, right? We just sit here
and do the overnight show, and we watch these teams
attempt to have quarterbacks sit out for long periods of
(05:23):
time and then play and then it rarely works.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And then when it does work, you.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Bring that up everything about Mahomes Well, okay, I'll say
what about Jake Locker?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Anyway, page do we go to the bayou the shores
of the mighty Mississippi River. And that is where running
back Alvin Camara address the Komodo dragon in the room,
comparisons being made by many between himself and forty nine
or back Christian McCaffrey, the cover boy for the Madden
(05:56):
video game franchise, who recently.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Signed a mega meg a mega mega.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Contract extension with the forty nine ers. Now, Alvin Kamara
was very polite. He praised, he praised McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
McCaffrey.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Rather, he praised McCaffrey, said how how great he isn't
all that? And Christian McCaffrey is this, that and the
other thing. But then Alvin Kamara issued a cryptic quote
about the statistical gap. And there is a divide when
you crossed the rubicon from Christian McCaffrey and you head
(06:30):
over to Alvin Kamara. Now, Kamara has put up some
big numbers in his time with the Saints, but side
by side, not close. And to that Alvin, not the Chipmunks,
but just Alvin said, I'm not a stat dude. Now,
that is what's known as the money quote. How do
you decode the Saints running back Alvin Kamara saying I'm
(06:54):
not a stat dude. How do you decode that comment?
So my verdict on this Kamara, he's on the internet,
he's got this little shopping card out on Amazon, and
he's got that book backhanded compliments for dummies? Is this
not Aaron Rodgers like or Lebron James like. It's passive aggressive.
(07:16):
It is not a stat dude. Not a stat dude. Yeah, okay,
that is a not so subtle insult at Christian McCaffrey
and Alvin Kamara, based on my minutes long interpretation of
this quote, is wallowing in victimhood.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
That's what he's doing here.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He's implying that, unlike Christian McCaffrey, who's a stat effort
and a stat bandito with the forty nine ers, Alvin
Kamar is a team player. He knows whatever whatever the
Saints want, even if it hurts his numbers, and even
if it means he has to beat a guy up
at a casino in Vegas, he'll do it because that's
what the Saints want and he's a team player.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I might have made up that last part. All right,
final point.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
We now go to the ballot box, and oh what
a story this is Decision twenty twenty four. Our democracy
is at stake, Our children's future is at stake. I
love the bull crap that politicians say and it never
really changes.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
All that much.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But anyway, the NFL version of this decision twenty twenty four.
Is it true that the Associated Press, the wire service
of record has changed the guidelines for those that vote
on who is the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Is it also true.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That those that have a ballot have been mandated, instructed
and ordered to only vote only vote for players who
overcome illness, physical injury, or other circumstances that led them
to miss playing time the previous season. So that's all legit.
(09:03):
Why is the NFL tweaking the criteria for Comeback Player
of the Year.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What is the motivation for this? And this is because of.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
One guy, Joe Flaco. Joe Flacco in this election, Joe
Flacco is like Donald Trump, President Trump, right of the
NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. So many people
were flustered, they were taken aback, they were horned swaggle.
(09:36):
There was skulduggery that went on because Joe Flacco upset
the world of football, the deep state of Pigskin by
winning the Comeback Player of the Year. And now the
swamp monsters are pushing back against Joe Flacco, not necessarily
just Joe Flacco, but the whole entire process, and so
(09:57):
they're changing things up.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And if you didn't see.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
The detail on this and read defined print, we are
sure that this is just a Kawinki dig.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It's just a coincidence that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The news on the change of the Comeback Player of
the Year vote came just four months four months after
then Brown's quarterback current Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Joe Flacco
was given Comeback Player of the Year over Bill's safety
DeMar Hamlin.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'm sure that's just that's just coincidence.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Ignore the fact, of course, that Damar Hamlin played in
just five regular season games for the Bills in twenty
twenty three, less than one hundred total snaps, most of
those on special teams. He had two more tackles than
you and two combined tackles, but no, it was supposed
to be DeMar Hamlin. He didn't win it, and Joe
Flacco won it. And Joe Flacco was riding around to
(10:53):
John deere lawnmower at his home when he got a call, Hey,
how would you like to play quarterback for the Clevelands,
And so the people who put this together like, wait,
we can't have that.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
The entire story is chicken feathers, is what it is.
The entire story chicken feathers. It is the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
If you would like to be part, you can try
not the curse, Try not the curse.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Effect also on X at Ben Mahlor. That is at
Ben Mahlor. If you want to be part of the fun.
It's Malcolm in the truck. And is the NFL this
close to picking up a major off season victory.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
We'll go there as well. We will do it all,
and we will do it.

The great silent majority of listeners to the Ben Malor
Show sit in the sidelines, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Mahler Show. Just follow your host

He's the guy you talk to when you're try and
(12:49):
get on the show and talk to Ben. But he
is more than just a call screener. He is the liar,
liar and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network.
It's the Coop the Loop Justin Cooper and he's at
u H bronco fan Hey and I'll lie from the
Tirack dot Com Fox Sports Radio studios. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Ya Femi in Chicago rights in.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
He says, Hey, Malard, four out of four slices.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Of deep dish on them all.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I love that deep dish, Larene, Have you ever had
that deep dish Chicago pizza?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
No, not real deep dish, so good, so wonderful.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Anyway, I saw Flacco, Yaphimi says, torch the Bears coming
off the couch and knew right there he was better
than our JV quarterback and half the qbs in the
league can't teach the clutch gene. And that's what Smokin'
Joe has. Hashtag legend. She just said, hashtag elite. Joe
Flacco's elite and the greatest money grab I've ever seen
(13:48):
in my life doing this job.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I've done this job a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Joe Flacco betting on himself and cashing in leading the
Ravens to the super Bowl, greatest postseason run I've ever
seen quarterback have, and then ending up getting paid and
stopping his performance at that point.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
He was terrible for years after that.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Jordan says that in terms of the comeback player, the Year,
says Comeback Player of the Year award, it's not the I.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Don't Suck Anymore award.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, Barbecuing Len has come out of retirement. He one
point was a regular show contributor and a terrible caller.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
But he's he's back.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Barbecuing Len says, Can we just give Hamlin the Jesus
Christ Superstar Award and leave it at that? Yes, if
you want to give him that, give him that. Knock
yourself out. And I think he got honored at the
White House and some other stuff, so I think they
took care of him pretty good. King Roy says, if
the Shield is going to tweak the qualifications for the
(14:47):
Comeback Player of the Year, then there should also be
a number of games played missed qualification as well. Are
you saying tomorrow Hamlin only playing five games was not enough?
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Hmm? Things that make you go hmmm. All right, let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to Eenie Meenie,
miney Moe.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Let's say hello to Salsa. Who's in Dallas? Hello Salsa,
Welcome Big Ben, Eddie.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Coop and Lorena. How's everyone doing.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Good?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
If I was any better I would not be asked
how I'm doing, but I keep getting asked how I'm doing.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
I love to ask you that. I love to ask
you that. Hey, then you're right about fat food. After
ten minutes, it's pretty much no good. You personally not
a fan of the deep dish pizza. Give me a
New York life.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's your worst take ever? Salsa?
Speaker 8 (15:47):
That is it?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That is a terrible take. Shuck now. Sauce is it
the green sauce of the red sauca? Which one's better?
Speaker 9 (15:53):
Red saucer?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That's also right, the great sauce is better. You're all
for two. You're all for two.
Speaker 9 (16:01):
I didn't come here to talk about that. I came
here to praise Lorena for her words of wisdom. Good job, Lorena.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
You know what.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
I recorded the podcast and I sent it to my
lady so she could hear it. And you know what
she said. She said, Lorena is right. I said exactly
what you said one hundred times, but hearing it come
from you, it just resonated with her. She just started
(16:32):
opening up and told me everything that was a problem
for her. Oh really, yes, really really. So you get
a good job. The biggest thing, that's the problem for her.
She doesn't like all the female friends that I have.
I'm a dancer. I dance with ladies, not men. So
that's what I mean. So that's how I have all
(16:53):
these lady friends. But she wants me to put it
into that. So I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh my god, I'm so glad I helped you.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yay, all right, now, check back, check back in a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Also, let's see what's going on in a couple of
weeks here.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
All right, buddy, be good. These things have a way
of changing. I'm just pointing out out there's a way
they change. They undergo a metamorphosis. Let's say hello to Adrian,
who's deep in the heart of Texas. Hello Adrian, welcome
here on the Ben Malor Show. Adrian has left the building.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Does that count as three out of three?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Well, we see, we actually had other people that called in.
You see how that Okay, so it has to be consecutive,
got it. Yeah, it's three in a row.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's good afternoon, good evening, and good night. And when
that happens at good night, we shut it down for
the rest of the hour.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
No calls. That's it. That's all. That's all that happens.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Now we have a follow up, a follow up to it.
So we talked about in a previous episode of the show.
Involves that the big Money lawsuit, the Sunday ticket lawsuit,
a class action lawsuit against the NFL, which.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Is going on in Los Angeles this week.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I don't think there was any action on Wednesday, but
there is some new information out on the judge, and
it sounds like the judge in this case is citing
with Big Football.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Said he was struggling with.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
The plaintiffs case, the lawyers that have presented their case in.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
US federal court.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Here.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
A district court judge in LA said, the case is simple,
but it has gone a direction it should not have gone.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
They brought Jerry Jones in.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Roger Goodell has given testimony as well, and the judge,
criticizing the plaintiffs in this case earlier in the week,
said they brought up past testimony. They brought up Jerry
Jones testimony from thirty years ago, almost thirty years ago.
He was upset by that, and he also complained about
a couple other techniques.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
That the lawyers were using.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
The trial will resume later on here on Thursday. The
expectation is we will have closing statements next week. However,
from what I was reading, some of the chatter from
the illegal Beagles, or that it might not even get
to the jury, that the case might not even get
to the jury, that the judge may end up pulling
(19:32):
the plug on this and it could enforce a rule
that the jury doesn't have enough evidence to rule for
either party. It could be the argument that is made
now this is always the conspiracy, is that the NFL
is so powerful that they can just donate and pay
off judges that if they want, they can just and
(19:53):
the way you pay off judges is you just donate
a campaign donation to the judge.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I'm not saying that happen here.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I'm just saying that from what I heard and what
I read about the comments made by this federal judge,
I don't know who the guy is, sounds like the
comments being made by someone who might have a vested
interest in making sure that the things kind of lean
the direction of the NFL. Yeah, let's say hello to
Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Hello, Hollering, you gotta be kidding.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I don't know what's going Everyone's hanging up and calling back.
I don't understand. Is it that difficult? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I guess Adrian's called back. He was on earlier and
then he hung up. Hello Adrian, Hey, what's up.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Ben.
Speaker 11 (20:38):
It's good to finally get on the radio. But I
hung up like about thirty forty five minutes ago, So
there's maybe something's going on with you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Well, is this a guy in Australia.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, No, this is a guy in Texas. But Coop,
I only have the board, I'm saying. So my board
had your name on it, so I can only go
by that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
But wait, well you're on the air now, so what
do you have.
Speaker 11 (20:59):
Yeah, yeah, you're talking about the finals and low ratings earlier.
And man, I'm a huge MAVs fan, and I was
not looking forward to going to the finals. I was
actually hoping we'd lose in the Western Conference because I
knew we were going to lose. It's going to be ugly,
and so the whole time I was actually every time
they showed Dirk Man, I wish they would take Kyrie
(21:20):
out and put Dirk in.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Well, he's kind of too old. Don't you think.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
Adrian doing much there either?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah? How about my favorite part of the Mavericks Store.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
One of my favorite parts was all the genius in
the media, the national media that were like, oh, the
fans in Boston are going to motivate Kyrie and he's
going to dominate those games at the Garden.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
He's going to play great. How did that go? How
did that man?
Speaker 10 (21:47):
Man?
Speaker 11 (21:47):
You know Kyrie since the very beginning, and I watched
him play with the Mavericks. He never looked good in
my opinion, and I didn't think it was going to
be any better in Boston, and it proved to be true.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Just so again, just for the reck, you would like
Dirk Novichki at age forty six to play instead of
Kyrie Irving in his thirties.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
Yeah, and you could throw in the Jason Kidd too,
so they could show him how to get it done.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, okay, all right, well there you there. You put
Jason Kidd out there. How about Orlando Blackman? Can we
bring him back old? How far back do you want
to go? I don't know how you are, Brad Harper, Adrian, Yeah,
well that was the back court Orlando Blackman and uh,
and they had Harper and they had was it Brad Davis?
Was that the guy the guard James Donaldson man, come on,
(22:34):
Roy Tarpley was there. They had the big trade. They
traded markcguire. I can go eighties Mavericks all day trade
Mark McGuire for Adrian Dantley. Very controversial trade at the
time when they made that trade, people very upset by that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Some people annoyed that that happened.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Do we have a fun.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Fact, Eddie? Yes, I have a stack of fun facts.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Fun fact player we talked about in a previous episode
of the show many months ago has popped back up
on our radar as the fun fact of the hour.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Is he a basketball prodigy or not?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
We don't know, but Olivier Reu I believe it's how
you pronounced his name, the.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Florida basketball player, high school player, and.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
He has extended his Guinness Book of World Records for
height as a teenager.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
He is Oh yeah, I saw a documentary about this
kid from Canada.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Uh he's seven foot nine now?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Oh man, I can him?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah? He can't. If he can, they gotta do something,
don't they.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I don't know, but they gotta figure something out of
The guy was seven seven two months ago. He's now
seven foot nine, and he is going to play college
basketball for the.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Gators of Florida.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And he has extended his lead against world records. They
measured him again and he's extended the mark tallest teenager
from seven to seven two months ago, seven foot nine.
Now his height is three inches shy of eight feet tall.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Take that for dow and he is going to be
They they're not.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
One hundred percent sure because they don't have great records
going way way back, But gonn be the tallest player
ever to play Division one basketball? Last year there was
a player at Old Miss and a guy at Missouri
who were seven foot five.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
But yeah, isn't there some weird fact to it? I
should probably have this.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I don't have it, but I'm gonna say anyway, where
if you're over, if you're seven feet tall or over,
the chance of you making the NBA are tremendous if
you're seven feet.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Tall, well back in the day, but the game's changed.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Right, Yeah, now it's probably not not so much.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
But the video on this guy's wild.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
He's eight inches taller than Shaquille O'Neal. Now the biggest
human beings I've ever been in the same room with
in my life. With Shaquille O'Neill and Yao Ming Yao
Ming bigger than shaquill by the way. Yao Ming the
Chinese basketball player for the Rockets back in the day.
Massive and this guy, how do you eat enough to
(25:29):
fill out that body if you're seven foot nine?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, he's very thin. He's not my new bull in,
but he's the betu.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
He weighs three hundred pounds or something like that though right,
probably over three hundred pound.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
He's seven foot nine, eh, I know, he's enormous. It's
not good for your health though.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, that is. That is crazy. So he's going to Florida.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He received the offers also from Stetson Florida Atlantic and
that made the final decision there and Nebraska is the
only other the Vision one school that offered him a contract.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
But he'll be in Gainesville there to join the Gators.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You think we'll hear a lot about this guy, gotta
be right, I mean, just out of a curiosity thing.
It's like it's like going to Venice Beach or something
like that, or the circus. I mean, I feel bad
for the guy, but I mean this is wild.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Yeah. Like I said, I watched a future.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
He's got that like Andre the giant thing where he
was growing.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Ye and you know they were spending a day with him,
and everywhere he went, I mean everyone's looking at him.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
They want to take a picture with him.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
And they also do you play basketball?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
That's true. He befriended Bill Winnington, who was also Canadian.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Uhh, I've met, but he's Chicago Bulls broadcast. Yeah, he
was Swirsky back when he used to go to those games.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Chuck Swirsky trying to help him out and give him
advice and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Was on the Bulls. He was the Bulls in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
He was on titles. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, he's trying to give him advice about you know,
buying shoes and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
So we gotta have everything custom made.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Remember we talked about that the world's tallest man met
the world's shortest woman, and they actually met here.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
In southern California. And there's a photo about it.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
But to get the say, to get the tallest man
in the world to travel, you know, you can't exactly
just put him on a flight from where you know,
some European country had sent him over. You had to
get a special flight.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
And the whole thing cargo plane. Yeah, cargo plane exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Anyway, all right, well, good luck to that guy I
just saw that. Is that not a fun fact that
he's seven foot nine?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
That is a very fun fact that he approved.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Larina, do you approve seven foot nine? Crazy? Fun fact?
Bat Oh see crazy?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
If they can, whoever they are, the scientists can figure
this out, the mad scientists, like the Frankenstein scientists. There's
gotta be a way to turn that on. The height thing,
the growth thing, right, there's got to be a way
to do it. You can reverse engineer it, there's ways
you can mess around with it. And somebody is going
(28:00):
to figure that out, and then there'll be no short people.
There might be people that are ten feet tall or
twenty feet tall, who knows, but there'll be no short people.
Oh yeah, and then yeah, I mean there's got to
be there's gotta be something they haven't figured out obviously,
and they can get that done.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Hey, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we continue on,
we'll get back to the calls. See who's going to
hang up on us now? And let's see here we'll
say hello to Blind Scott, who's on the north end
of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott getting ready for the duck
boat parade on Friday.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
Hey, imagine how big that guy thing is when you're
that tall?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
You know, well, I mean it doesn't always work out
that way, but who knows.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Yeah, after the Celtics won the championship, I called those
people that were working that night. I didn't get on
the air hung up, but the guy he started crying.
He was like the producer for the Celtics. His name
was like George Sopovida. I was like, dude, I'm blind.
I've been listening to these Celtics games all year. And
then he started crying like I was like, whoa, it
ain't that emotional, you know, I thought it was kind
(29:13):
of It's kind of funny. I've been playing this trip
to Vegas. At first, I was going to leave doing
like here because it's going to be so hot, but
I don't have anybody to watch them. So now I'm
going to bring them. I'm pretty excited about it. It's
my girlfriend's birthday too, in August third. I don't think
we all want to go to Minor League Baseball Park
in Vegas. So we're going to be in Vegas, you know,
we want to be out on the casino and everything.
(29:34):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Part yeah, blind blind Scotto.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You can go to the minor league game and then
the casinos are open all night. They can go gamble
after that, you can gamble all night and stay up there.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
But we're gonna go to the steakhouse too. You know,
we'll be there for a few hours. But uh, one
thing about the Celtics, man, I love this team. These
guys have just come together so much, like I've never
seen a team built built like this before with so many,
so many stars on it. Have you ever seen a
team just with so many stars? I've never seen the
Clippers though, Like they say, one thing I did to
(30:04):
Jeff Van Gundy, he didn't wait one minute to say
he was leaving Boston like he literally right after the
game was over, he said, I'm going to the Clippers.
That ain't cool. You don't do that to Boston. You
know what I mean you think he had some time.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
He couldn't wait to get out of there.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
He wanted to live in la He wants to hang
out in the sunshine and where.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
The pretty people are. He wanted out.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He wanted out of out of Boston. He says, get
me out of here.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
Oh, I go one other thing to this guy, Jason Kidd,
he had this unhealthy obsession with water parks when he
played for the Nets. He used to eat his bunch
at water parks every day. I'm thinking in the NBA, like,
if you look at both these teams, Joe Mizzulo and
Jason Kidd, you could have exchanged coaches. The coach doesn't
matter in the NBA. Joe Miszulu was trying to say
the Celtics won by shooting the three pointer, and Jerome
(30:50):
could probably back me up on this. It's defense that
won the Celtics the championship. They didn't win by shooting
those crazy three point shots. Those lost them all the
championships pas de championships.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
All right, Well that's a bold take.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
No one else has had that take, Scott, that the
defense wins championships.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Hanging up on you go, there's a terrible way to
end the call, I will.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I want to give it the Celtics a little credit, though,
I do because I was expecting stories of the bauchery
out of Miami, and unless I missed it, maybe I
did miss it. But the Celtics flew to Miami shortly
after they won the championship because they clearly don't like
the nightlife in Boston and they wanted to go down
to Miami and hang out and have a fine time.
(31:35):
And I have not seen any stories about the nonsense
they're getting into.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
They must be getting into nuts.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I don't think they're going to bed at eight o'clock
at night and getting up early, having breakfast and walking
on the beach.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I don't think that is what's going on.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
But I haven't seen anything that is detailed exactly what
kind of nonsense they're up to. So they've stayed out
of the tabloids to this particular point, and all the
gossipy blogs. And my guy, we had him on the show,
who's like the TMZ of Miami. He has not had
(32:13):
any stories about them. I'm sure at some point the
stories will come out. First of all, how much money
they spent on alcohol. That's always a classic story.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That comes out.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
They spent X number of dollars some ridiculous amount of money,
and then somebody will do something goofy that will come
out days later. Justin in Cincinnati says he is concerned
about blind Scott's interest in the high school kid cleaned
that up a little bit for the for the radio.
Let's see who else do we have? Page down page
(32:45):
Dan I saw Mallard prop guy had an interesting theory
on the Milwaukee Brewers employee who's accused of being a
international assassin and what that's all about.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Laurence says, shot that can take him to the Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Sneaker store where basketball players go, Well, you don't have
to go.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
They can go online and buy them that way.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
And Cameron writes and says his sister works for Florida
and met him the other day.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Seven foot nine teenage, tallest teenager in the world. Fergduck says,
speaking of many Williams as you were earlier, how many
millions are left on your contract?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Ben? What would you have to do to get Don
Martin to pay you not to work? Hmm? Things that
make you go hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
One thing about this company they don't like paying people
not to work.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
They do not appreciate paying people not to work. Yeah,
Nika terror writes, and he says, if.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I had to give up performing with all these beautiful women,
my career would be sunk in caterroristays, all right, very nice.
Alf the Alien opiner says, Ben, do not besmirch barbecuing Lynn.
I was a fan of his calls based on his
generation of callers, Len would be considered elea based on
(34:12):
this generation of calls. Oh, that's true when you compare
Len and you really do have to judge the callers
by the generation. And my favorite barbecuing Len call was
when he told me about the fan that he made.
He jerry rigged the fan like he made it an
air condition, like a homemade air condition.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I thought that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Malard prop guy says, is is it true? The Milwaukee
Brewers employee was seen at the scene of David Vassay's
fateful plunge down Bernie Brewer's slide holding an oil can.
It's a great point. We'll have to investigate. Could she
have tried to take out fass A? It is the
Ben Maller show. Time now for the Insta Trivia and
(34:54):
here it is the Insta Trivia with the recent death
of Willie Mays. That means that Blank is now the
last living participant of the iconic nineteen.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Fill in the blank? And who we have Let's.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
See page down, page down. We've got Wayne Newton from
The Cowboy Killer malor prop guy got it right, obviously cheating.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Hammer and Hank Aaron from Eke Now that's wrong. Mike
Jones guessed by Benito, the long suffering Cowboy fan, Don
Knotts from Alf the Alien Opiner, Mickey Mantle guest by Ferg.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Dog Oops, who Goofed?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I've got to know Paige down Rick Granny Style, Barry
from Art Puffin the Big Ragou from Stevie meat Balls,
Barry Bonds guests by Justin and Cincinnati. That's a good photo.
Rob Deer from The King. That's his answer, Edny, do
you have an answer? Eddie Qui.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Orlando Sepeda.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
No, it is Roy Colavito ninety years old.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Nineteen years old, Rocket dollarb Cleveland, Indians back in the day.
Here we go, Here we go here to.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
The third degree. This is one big f gets great.
Speaker 8 (37:14):
According to oddsmakers at Draft Kings, the AFC East will
be the most tightly contested division in football, as the
Bills are only plus one seventy favorites to win the division,
with the Jets and the Dolphins right behind at plus
one ninety and plus two hundred, respectively. Ben, do you
think this is the most wide open division in football?
Speaker 1 (37:31):
No, it's a two team It's really a two teams.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Aaron Rodgers is going to get hurt. So it's the
Dolphins and the Bills. The Bills aren't as good if
you look at a depth chart, and the Dolphins have
a fatal flaw into a quarterback. So from that standpoint, yeah,
but I don't take the Jets seriously. Aaron Rodgers will
be on a darkness retreat by early December next.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Ohio State reportedly spent over twenty million dollars building their
football roster for the upcoming season. In a recent video,
Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel call it the most talented
roster in the history of the program. Then, are we
gonna see something special this season? Or is this all
just hyperbole?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
They should have asked the opinion of a couple of
old Michigan coaches what they think of the Ohio State roster. No,
it's like if it was a fish, it would be
a puffer fish. These are huge, They're they're building up.
The legend of Ohio State football is like the greatest
twenty million dollars payroll.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I bet you Ohio State back in the day spent
more than twenty million. They just did it under the table.
Speaker 8 (38:29):
Next, with Al Horford winning a championship, James Harden is
now the active player with the most career playoff games
without a ring at one hundred and sixty six, Ben,
do you think he can break Karl Malone's all time
record of one hundred and ninety three.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
So, first of all, can he break the record? Yes,
it's really up to James Harden. Now, if he wants
to win a championship, you stay with the Clippers into
a dome, into the championship.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
It's up to Harden. How did we know you were
so close? I have to tell you almost a pass
I won
Hello and welcome. It's our Nbert.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We head to the land of the Juicy Lucy in Minnesota.
What do you make of reports saying that JJ McCarthy
has less than a ten percent chance of starting as
QB one for the Vikings, that instead Sam.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Darnold will be the starter.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And how do you decode the New Orleans running back
Alvin Camara's quote, I'm not a stat dude. How do
you decode that? He was commenting about his contract and
comparing himself to Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Was asked about that.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Also, why is the NFL tweaking the criteria for the
Comeback Player of the Year award.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's kind of obvious why they're doing that. But spell
it out for you. All of that coming your way
right now here.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It is our number two, a case of purple pause.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
If you will.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Ywhere right at your fingertips as we fan the breeze.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Coast to coast, border to order and.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Beyond on the mast and voicelessly powerful microphones of fs
are amminating live from the seat as we are backseat
driving we're broadcasting live from the ti rack dot com studios.
Tyrack dot com. We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
(01:41):
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stars, almost as many as the pounds. The
minor league player g Manje from Chicago sent me. He
sent me some video of some I think it's Cubs prospect.
Who's the round mound of baseball?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ten thousand recommending the Stars is a lot. Tire rack
dot com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
So our lead.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
This star is a grab bag NFL style grab bag.
A status update, status update out of Minnesota. The Vikings
made a big splash. Well they think it was a
big splash. We'll see whether it.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Was or not.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But the Vikings at the draft. Remember they got Michigan
man JJ McCarthy, the guy that was so good at Michigan.
He was often used as a decoy by Jim Harbaugh.
Now it sounds like he will indeed be collecting dust
on the sidelines. As our obligatory Maller monologue update on
the life and times of every rookie quarterback. Now we
(02:43):
go to Minnesota for the McCarthy update. If you have
not heard, we are told, have you missed it? We're
told there is a less than ten percent chance, less
than ten percent chance that the Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy
will start as the Viking quarterback over Sam Darnold in
week number one. We always monitor the airwaves. We don't
(03:05):
want radio silence, we want noise. There is chatter that
says coach Kevin O'Connell has put together a detailed, step
by step plan for McCarthy that'll require he hit certain
milestones before the team will allow him to be the
starting quarterback. So let us discuss the question, what do
you make of the report saying that McCarthy JJ McCarthy
(03:28):
has a less than ten percent chance of starting as
QB one for the Vikings right out of the gates.
So I've got diagnosis, shopping cart, and Donald Trump, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to head to the outback is where we're
going to head.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
So number Kevin O'Connell, the head coach in Minnesota, is.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Getting flowers from many of the media elites for this
meticulous approach. I've seen a couple of stories that have
crossed my radar. The football scribes, social media pundits are
praising this methodical approach way to go Bramo.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And to that, I say, excuse my French FUOI I'm not.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Gonna go full tuna from Laguna because then I would
be dumped. But listen, we don't know if McCarthy can play.
I'm not gonna sit here and say that Jason McCarthy
can play. I have my doubts. I absolutely have my doubts.
But we do know that Sam Donald stinks.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That is proven.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
We have a lot of data on Sam Donald being
a dog with fleas. Now I am not a doctor,
but I can't play one on the radio and my
diagnosis this is some old fashioned paralysis by analysis.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Learn from playing, you don't learn from watching.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I've said that for years, and I believe you toss
him in the ocean or in this case, Lake Minnetonka,
and you see whether or not they can swim or not,
and do not be stuck in neutral spinning your wheels.
But what do we know, right? We just sit here
and do the overnight show, and we watch these teams
attempt to have quarterbacks sit out for long periods of
(05:23):
time and then play and then it rarely works.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And then when it does work, you.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Bring that up everything about Mahomes Well, okay, I'll say
what about Jake Locker?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Anyway, page do we go to the bayou the shores
of the mighty Mississippi River. And that is where running
back Alvin Camara address the Komodo dragon in the room,
comparisons being made by many between himself and forty nine
or back Christian McCaffrey, the cover boy for the Madden
(05:56):
video game franchise, who recently.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Signed a mega meg a mega mega.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Contract extension with the forty nine ers. Now, Alvin Kamara
was very polite. He praised, he praised McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
McCaffrey.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Rather, he praised McCaffrey, said how how great he isn't
all that? And Christian McCaffrey is this, that and the
other thing. But then Alvin Kamara issued a cryptic quote
about the statistical gap. And there is a divide when
you crossed the rubicon from Christian McCaffrey and you head
(06:30):
over to Alvin Kamara. Now, Kamara has put up some
big numbers in his time with the Saints, but side
by side, not close. And to that Alvin, not the Chipmunks,
but just Alvin said, I'm not a stat dude. Now,
that is what's known as the money quote. How do
you decode the Saints running back Alvin Kamara saying I'm
(06:54):
not a stat dude. How do you decode that comment?
So my verdict on this Kamara, he's on the internet,
he's got this little shopping card out on Amazon, and
he's got that book backhanded compliments for dummies? Is this
not Aaron Rodgers like or Lebron James like. It's passive aggressive.
(07:16):
It is not a stat dude. Not a stat dude. Yeah, okay,
that is a not so subtle insult at Christian McCaffrey
and Alvin Kamara, based on my minutes long interpretation of
this quote, is wallowing in victimhood.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
That's what he's doing here.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He's implying that, unlike Christian McCaffrey, who's a stat effort
and a stat bandito with the forty nine ers, Alvin
Kamar is a team player. He knows whatever whatever the
Saints want, even if it hurts his numbers, and even
if it means he has to beat a guy up
at a casino in Vegas, he'll do it because that's
what the Saints want and he's a team player.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I might have made up that last part. All right,
final point.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
We now go to the ballot box, and oh what
a story this is Decision twenty twenty four. Our democracy
is at stake, Our children's future is at stake. I
love the bull crap that politicians say and it never
really changes.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
All that much.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But anyway, the NFL version of this decision twenty twenty four.
Is it true that the Associated Press, the wire service
of record has changed the guidelines for those that vote
on who is the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Is it also true.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That those that have a ballot have been mandated, instructed
and ordered to only vote only vote for players who
overcome illness, physical injury, or other circumstances that led them
to miss playing time the previous season. So that's all legit.
(09:03):
Why is the NFL tweaking the criteria for Comeback Player
of the Year.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What is the motivation for this? And this is because of.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
One guy, Joe Flaco. Joe Flacco in this election, Joe
Flacco is like Donald Trump, President Trump, right of the
NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. So many people
were flustered, they were taken aback, they were horned swaggle.
(09:36):
There was skulduggery that went on because Joe Flacco upset
the world of football, the deep state of Pigskin by
winning the Comeback Player of the Year. And now the
swamp monsters are pushing back against Joe Flacco, not necessarily
just Joe Flacco, but the whole entire process, and so
(09:57):
they're changing things up.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And if you didn't see.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
The detail on this and read defined print, we are
sure that this is just a Kawinki dig.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It's just a coincidence that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The news on the change of the Comeback Player of
the Year vote came just four months four months after
then Brown's quarterback current Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Joe Flacco
was given Comeback Player of the Year over Bill's safety
DeMar Hamlin.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'm sure that's just that's just coincidence.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Ignore the fact, of course, that Damar Hamlin played in
just five regular season games for the Bills in twenty
twenty three, less than one hundred total snaps, most of
those on special teams. He had two more tackles than
you and two combined tackles, but no, it was supposed
to be DeMar Hamlin. He didn't win it, and Joe
Flacco won it. And Joe Flacco was riding around to
(10:53):
John deere lawnmower at his home when he got a call, Hey,

It's the Coop the Loop Justin Cooper and he's at
u H bronco fan Hey and I'll lie from the
Tirack dot Com Fox Sports Radio studios. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Ya Femi in Chicago rights in.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
He says, Hey, Malard, four out of four slices.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Of deep dish on them all.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I love that deep dish, Larene, Have you ever had
that deep dish Chicago pizza?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
No, not real deep dish, so good, so wonderful.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Anyway, I saw Flacco, Yaphimi says, torch the Bears coming
off the couch and knew right there he was better
than our JV quarterback and half the qbs in the
league can't teach the clutch gene. And that's what Smokin'
Joe has. Hashtag legend. She just said, hashtag elite. Joe
Flacco's elite and the greatest money grab I've ever seen
(13:48):
in my life doing this job.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I've done this job a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Joe Flacco betting on himself and cashing in leading the
Ravens to the super Bowl, greatest postseason run I've ever
seen quarterback have, and then ending up getting paid and
stopping his performance at that point.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
He was terrible for years after that.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Jordan says that in terms of the comeback player, the Year,
says Comeback Player of the Year award, it's not the I.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Don't Suck Anymore award.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, Barbecuing Len has come out of retirement. He one
point was a regular show contributor and a terrible caller.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
But he's he's back.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Barbecuing Len says, Can we just give Hamlin the Jesus
Christ Superstar Award and leave it at that? Yes, if
you want to give him that, give him that. Knock
yourself out. And I think he got honored at the
White House and some other stuff, so I think they
took care of him pretty good. King Roy says, if
the Shield is going to tweak the qualifications for the
(14:47):
Comeback Player of the Year, then there should also be
a number of games played missed qualification as well. Are
you saying tomorrow Hamlin only playing five games was not enough?
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Hmm? Things that make you go hmmm. All right, let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to Eenie Meenie,
miney Moe.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Let's say hello to Salsa. Who's in Dallas? Hello Salsa,
Welcome Big Ben, Eddie.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Coop and Lorena. How's everyone doing.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Good?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
If I was any better I would not be asked
how I'm doing, but I keep getting asked how I'm doing.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
I love to ask you that. I love to ask
you that. Hey, then you're right about fat food. After
ten minutes, it's pretty much no good. You personally not
a fan of the deep dish pizza. Give me a
New York life.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's your worst take ever? Salsa?
Speaker 8 (15:47):
That is it?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That is a terrible take. Shuck now. Sauce is it
the green sauce of the red sauca? Which one's better?
Speaker 9 (15:53):
Red saucer?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That's also right, the great sauce is better. You're all
for two. You're all for two.
Speaker 9 (16:01):
I didn't come here to talk about that. I came
here to praise Lorena for her words of wisdom. Good job, Lorena.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
You know what.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
I recorded the podcast and I sent it to my
lady so she could hear it. And you know what
she said. She said, Lorena is right. I said exactly
what you said one hundred times, but hearing it come
from you, it just resonated with her. She just started
(16:32):
opening up and told me everything that was a problem
for her. Oh really, yes, really really. So you get
a good job. The biggest thing, that's the problem for her.
She doesn't like all the female friends that I have.
I'm a dancer. I dance with ladies, not men. So
that's what I mean. So that's how I have all
(16:53):
these lady friends. But she wants me to put it
into that. So I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh my god, I'm so glad I helped you.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yay, all right, now, check back, check back in a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Also, let's see what's going on in a couple of
weeks here.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
All right, buddy, be good. These things have a way
of changing. I'm just pointing out out there's a way
they change. They undergo a metamorphosis. Let's say hello to Adrian,
who's deep in the heart of Texas. Hello Adrian, welcome
here on the Ben Malor Show. Adrian has left the building.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Does that count as three out of three?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Well, we see, we actually had other people that called in.
You see how that Okay, so it has to be consecutive,
got it. Yeah, it's three in a row.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's good afternoon, good evening, and good night. And when
that happens at good night, we shut it down for
the rest of the hour.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
No calls. That's it. That's all. That's all that happens.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Now we have a follow up, a follow up to it.
So we talked about in a previous episode of the show.
Involves that the big Money lawsuit, the Sunday ticket lawsuit,
a class action lawsuit against the NFL, which.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Is going on in Los Angeles this week.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I don't think there was any action on Wednesday, but
there is some new information out on the judge, and
it sounds like the judge in this case is citing
with Big Football.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Said he was struggling with.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
The plaintiffs case, the lawyers that have presented their case in.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
US federal court.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Here.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
A district court judge in LA said, the case is simple,
but it has gone a direction it should not have gone.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
They brought Jerry Jones in.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Roger Goodell has given testimony as well, and the judge,
criticizing the plaintiffs in this case earlier in the week,
said they brought up past testimony. They brought up Jerry
Jones testimony from thirty years ago, almost thirty years ago.
He was upset by that, and he also complained about
a couple other techniques.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
That the lawyers were using.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
The trial will resume later on here on Thursday. The
expectation is we will have closing statements next week. However,
from what I was reading, some of the chatter from
the illegal Beagles, or that it might not even get
to the jury, that the case might not even get
to the jury, that the judge may end up pulling
(19:32):
the plug on this and it could enforce a rule
that the jury doesn't have enough evidence to rule for
either party. It could be the argument that is made
now this is always the conspiracy, is that the NFL
is so powerful that they can just donate and pay
off judges that if they want, they can just and
(19:53):
the way you pay off judges is you just donate
a campaign donation to the judge.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I'm not saying that happen here.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I'm just saying that from what I heard and what
I read about the comments made by this federal judge,
I don't know who the guy is, sounds like the
comments being made by someone who might have a vested
interest in making sure that the things kind of lean
the direction of the NFL. Yeah, let's say hello to
Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Hello, Hollering, you gotta be kidding.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I don't know what's going Everyone's hanging up and calling back.
I don't understand. Is it that difficult? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I guess Adrian's called back. He was on earlier and
then he hung up. Hello Adrian, Hey, what's up.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Ben.
Speaker 11 (20:38):
It's good to finally get on the radio. But I
hung up like about thirty forty five minutes ago, So
there's maybe something's going on with you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Well, is this a guy in Australia.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, No, this is a guy in Texas. But Coop,
I only have the board, I'm saying. So my board
had your name on it, so I can only go
by that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
But wait, well you're on the air now, so what
do you have.
Speaker 11 (20:59):
Yeah, yeah, you're talking about the finals and low ratings earlier.
And man, I'm a huge MAVs fan, and I was
not looking forward to going to the finals. I was
actually hoping we'd lose in the Western Conference because I
knew we were going to lose. It's going to be ugly,
and so the whole time I was actually every time
they showed Dirk Man, I wish they would take Kyrie
(21:20):
out and put Dirk in.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Well, he's kind of too old. Don't you think.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
Adrian doing much there either?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah? How about my favorite part of the Mavericks Store.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
One of my favorite parts was all the genius in
the media, the national media that were like, oh, the
fans in Boston are going to motivate Kyrie and he's
going to dominate those games at the Garden.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
He's going to play great. How did that go? How
did that man?
Speaker 10 (21:47):
Man?
Speaker 11 (21:47):
You know Kyrie since the very beginning, and I watched
him play with the Mavericks. He never looked good in
my opinion, and I didn't think it was going to
be any better in Boston, and it proved to be true.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Just so again, just for the reck, you would like
Dirk Novichki at age forty six to play instead of
Kyrie Irving in his thirties.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
Yeah, and you could throw in the Jason Kidd too,
so they could show him how to get it done.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, okay, all right, well there you there. You put
Jason Kidd out there. How about Orlando Blackman? Can we
bring him back old? How far back do you want
to go? I don't know how you are, Brad Harper, Adrian, Yeah,
well that was the back court Orlando Blackman and uh,
and they had Harper and they had was it Brad Davis?
Was that the guy the guard James Donaldson man, come on,
(22:34):
Roy Tarpley was there. They had the big trade. They
traded markcguire. I can go eighties Mavericks all day trade
Mark McGuire for Adrian Dantley. Very controversial trade at the
time when they made that trade, people very upset by that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Some people annoyed that that happened.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Do we have a fun.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Fact, Eddie? Yes, I have a stack of fun facts.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Fun fact player we talked about in a previous episode
of the show many months ago has popped back up
on our radar as the fun fact of the hour.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Is he a basketball prodigy or not?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
We don't know, but Olivier Reu I believe it's how
you pronounced his name, the.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Florida basketball player, high school player, and.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
He has extended his Guinness Book of World Records for
height as a teenager.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
He is Oh yeah, I saw a documentary about this
kid from Canada.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Uh he's seven foot nine now?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Oh man, I can him?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah? He can't. If he can, they gotta do something,
don't they.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I don't know, but they gotta figure something out of
The guy was seven seven two months ago. He's now
seven foot nine, and he is going to play college
basketball for the.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Gators of Florida.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And he has extended his lead against world records. They
measured him again and he's extended the mark tallest teenager
from seven to seven two months ago, seven foot nine.
Now his height is three inches shy of eight feet tall.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Take that for dow and he is going to be
They they're not.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
One hundred percent sure because they don't have great records
going way way back, But gonn be the tallest player
ever to play Division one basketball? Last year there was
a player at Old Miss and a guy at Missouri
who were seven foot five.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
But yeah, isn't there some weird fact to it? I
should probably have this.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I don't have it, but I'm gonna say anyway, where
if you're over, if you're seven feet tall or over,
the chance of you making the NBA are tremendous if
you're seven feet.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Tall, well back in the day, but the game's changed.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Right, Yeah, now it's probably not not so much.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
But the video on this guy's wild.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
He's eight inches taller than Shaquille O'Neal. Now the biggest
human beings I've ever been in the same room with
in my life. With Shaquille O'Neill and Yao Ming Yao
Ming bigger than shaquill by the way. Yao Ming the
Chinese basketball player for the Rockets back in the day.
Massive and this guy, how do you eat enough to
(25:29):
fill out that body if you're seven foot nine?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, he's very thin. He's not my new bull in,
but he's the betu.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
He weighs three hundred pounds or something like that though right,
probably over three hundred pound.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
He's seven foot nine, eh, I know, he's enormous. It's
not good for your health though.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, that is. That is crazy. So he's going to Florida.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He received the offers also from Stetson Florida Atlantic and
that made the final decision there and Nebraska is the
only other the Vision one school that offered him a contract.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
But he'll be in Gainesville there to join the Gators.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You think we'll hear a lot about this guy, gotta
be right, I mean, just out of a curiosity thing.
It's like it's like going to Venice Beach or something
like that, or the circus. I mean, I feel bad
for the guy, but I mean this is wild.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Yeah. Like I said, I watched a future.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
He's got that like Andre the giant thing where he
was growing.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Ye and you know they were spending a day with him,
and everywhere he went, I mean everyone's looking at him.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
They want to take a picture with him.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
And they also do you play basketball?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
That's true. He befriended Bill Winnington, who was also Canadian.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Uhh, I've met, but he's Chicago Bulls broadcast. Yeah, he
was Swirsky back when he used to go to those games.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Chuck Swirsky trying to help him out and give him
advice and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Was on the Bulls. He was the Bulls in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
He was on titles. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, he's trying to give him advice about you know,
buying shoes and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
So we gotta have everything custom made.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Remember we talked about that the world's tallest man met
the world's shortest woman, and they actually met here.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
In southern California. And there's a photo about it.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
But to get the say, to get the tallest man
in the world to travel, you know, you can't exactly
just put him on a flight from where you know,
some European country had sent him over. You had to
get a special flight.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
And the whole thing cargo plane. Yeah, cargo plane exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Anyway, all right, well, good luck to that guy I
just saw that. Is that not a fun fact that
he's seven foot nine?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
That is a very fun fact that he approved.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Larina, do you approve seven foot nine? Crazy? Fun fact?
Bat Oh see crazy?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
If they can, whoever they are, the scientists can figure
this out, the mad scientists, like the Frankenstein scientists. There's
gotta be a way to turn that on. The height thing,
the growth thing, right, there's got to be a way
to do it. You can reverse engineer it, there's ways
you can mess around with it. And somebody is going
(28:00):
to figure that out, and then there'll be no short people.
There might be people that are ten feet tall or
twenty feet tall, who knows, but there'll be no short people.
Oh yeah, and then yeah, I mean there's got to
be there's gotta be something they haven't figured out obviously,
and they can get that done.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Hey, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we continue on,
we'll get back to the calls. See who's going to
hang up on us now? And let's see here we'll
say hello to Blind Scott, who's on the north end
of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott getting ready for the duck
boat parade on Friday.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
Hey, imagine how big that guy thing is when you're
that tall?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
You know, well, I mean it doesn't always work out
that way, but who knows.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Yeah, after the Celtics won the championship, I called those
people that were working that night. I didn't get on
the air hung up, but the guy he started crying.
He was like the producer for the Celtics. His name
was like George Sopovida. I was like, dude, I'm blind.
I've been listening to these Celtics games all year. And
then he started crying like I was like, whoa, it
ain't that emotional, you know, I thought it was kind
(29:13):
of It's kind of funny. I've been playing this trip
to Vegas. At first, I was going to leave doing
like here because it's going to be so hot, but
I don't have anybody to watch them. So now I'm
going to bring them. I'm pretty excited about it. It's
my girlfriend's birthday too, in August third. I don't think
we all want to go to Minor League Baseball Park
in Vegas. So we're going to be in Vegas, you know,
we want to be out on the casino and everything.
(29:34):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Part yeah, blind blind Scotto.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You can go to the minor league game and then
the casinos are open all night. They can go gamble
after that, you can gamble all night and stay up there.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
But we're gonna go to the steakhouse too. You know,
we'll be there for a few hours. But uh, one
thing about the Celtics, man, I love this team. These
guys have just come together so much, like I've never
seen a team built built like this before with so many,
so many stars on it. Have you ever seen a
team just with so many stars? I've never seen the
Clippers though, Like they say, one thing I did to
(30:04):
Jeff Van Gundy, he didn't wait one minute to say
he was leaving Boston like he literally right after the
game was over, he said, I'm going to the Clippers.
That ain't cool. You don't do that to Boston. You
know what I mean you think he had some time.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
He couldn't wait to get out of there.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
He wanted to live in la He wants to hang
out in the sunshine and where.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
The pretty people are. He wanted out.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He wanted out of out of Boston. He says, get
me out of here.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
Oh, I go one other thing to this guy, Jason Kidd,
he had this unhealthy obsession with water parks when he
played for the Nets. He used to eat his bunch
at water parks every day. I'm thinking in the NBA, like,
if you look at both these teams, Joe Mizzulo and
Jason Kidd, you could have exchanged coaches. The coach doesn't
matter in the NBA. Joe Miszulu was trying to say
the Celtics won by shooting the three pointer, and Jerome
(30:50):
could probably back me up on this. It's defense that
won the Celtics the championship. They didn't win by shooting
those crazy three point shots. Those lost them all the
championships pas de championships.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
All right, Well that's a bold take.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
No one else has had that take, Scott, that the
defense wins championships.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Hanging up on you go, there's a terrible way to
end the call, I will.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I want to give it the Celtics a little credit, though,
I do because I was expecting stories of the bauchery
out of Miami, and unless I missed it, maybe I
did miss it. But the Celtics flew to Miami shortly
after they won the championship because they clearly don't like
the nightlife in Boston and they wanted to go down
to Miami and hang out and have a fine time.
(31:35):
And I have not seen any stories about the nonsense
they're getting into.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
They must be getting into nuts.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I don't think they're going to bed at eight o'clock
at night and getting up early, having breakfast and walking
on the beach.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I don't think that is what's going on.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
But I haven't seen anything that is detailed exactly what
kind of nonsense they're up to. So they've stayed out
of the tabloids to this particular point, and all the
gossipy blogs. And my guy, we had him on the show,
who's like the TMZ of Miami. He has not had
(32:13):
any stories about them. I'm sure at some point the
stories will come out. First of all, how much money
they spent on alcohol. That's always a classic story.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That comes out.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
They spent X number of dollars some ridiculous amount of money,
and then somebody will do something goofy that will come
out days later. Justin in Cincinnati says he is concerned
about blind Scott's interest in the high school kid cleaned
that up a little bit for the for the radio.
Let's see who else do we have? Page down page
(32:45):
Dan I saw Mallard prop guy had an interesting theory
on the Milwaukee Brewers employee who's accused of being a
international assassin and what that's all about.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Laurence says, shot that can take him to the Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Sneaker store where basketball players go, Well, you don't have
to go.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
They can go online and buy them that way.
Speaker 2 (33:10):

According to oddsmakers at Draft Kings, the AFC East will
be the most tightly contested division in football, as the
Bills are only plus one seventy favorites to win the division,
with the Jets and the Dolphins right behind at plus
one ninety and plus two hundred, respectively. Ben, do you
think this is the most wide open division in football?
Speaker 1 (37:31):
No, it's a two team It's really a two teams.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Aaron Rodgers is going to get hurt. So it's the
Dolphins and the Bills. The Bills aren't as good if
you look at a depth chart, and the Dolphins have
a fatal flaw into a quarterback. So from that standpoint, yeah,
but I don't take the Jets seriously. Aaron Rodgers will
be on a darkness retreat by early December next.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Ohio State reportedly spent over twenty million dollars building their
football roster for the upcoming season. In a recent video,
Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel call it the most talented
roster in the history of the program. Then, are we
gonna see something special this season? Or is this all
just hyperbole?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
They should have asked the opinion of a couple of
old Michigan coaches what they think of the Ohio State roster. No,
it's like if it was a fish, it would be
a puffer fish. These are huge, They're they're building up.
The legend of Ohio State football is like the greatest
twenty million dollars payroll.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I bet you Ohio State back in the day spent
more than twenty million. They just did it under the table.
Speaker 8 (38:29):
Next, with Al Horford winning a championship, James Harden is
now the active player with the most career playoff games
without a ring at one hundred and sixty six, Ben,
do you think he can break Karl Malone's all time
record of one hundred and ninety three.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
So, first of all, can he break the record? Yes,
it's really up to James Harden. Now, if he wants
to win a championship, you stay with the Clippers into
a dome, into the championship.

so close? I have to tell you almost a pass
