Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number two and here an hour two.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
It's not every day that an MVP shoves a sports columnist,
but it did happen in the pro bouncy ball world.
Joel Embiid shoving a reporter in Philadelphia, a confrontation in
the locker room. How does this one hit you? Embiad's
been suspended for three games by the Philadelphia basketball team. Also,
what did Joel nbead accomplish with that media rhubarb heard
(00:32):
round the basketball world and the NBA yet again.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yesterday scheduled no games on Election Day? Does that make sense?
We'll talk about that and more right now here.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It is our number two, the people's MVP, but not
the media's MVP. Welcome, in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Show.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We are in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, as
we have all natural ingredients.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
We do coast to coast, border, the border and beyond.
On the mast and tremendously powerful microphones of fsr M
monating live from the shoot the crap shoot of the

Robbie Themeriner fan approves of that tire rack dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
The way tirebind show.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Me.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So our lead this hour is.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
From just a wonderful story, just a great story. I
saw this and my eyes got the size of delicious
grilled cheese sandwiches oversized grilled cheese sandwiches. And part of
it is because I relate to the story, because I
(02:16):
lived the life for a fair amount of time, and so.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I just love it.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So there were no games on Tuesday, but we have
a doozy of a story involving a household player in
the b A.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Now if you did not hear, and maybe not maybe
not the now he hasn't won.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It this year because they haven't given out in word
this year, But the NVP Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia
basketball team has been suspended for the next three games.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Without pay, without pay. Now, what did he do?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
He gave the old shove to a columnist for the
Philadelphia Inquire.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You've never heard of some guy named Marcus Hayes. You
don't know who that is. Nobody knows who that is.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
But it happened after a recent game. Now and Beads
shoved the columnist. He was upset with a recent column
which had chronicled what an abject failure Embiid is getting
on the court and contributing and helping the team out.
But in the column, they mentioned Embiid's son and his
late brother, who both have the same name, questioning embids
(03:31):
professionalism and effort to stay in shape and essentially saying, hey,
you know, Joel Embiid talks a lot about how he
wants to impress these people, and he never shows up
the work and plays right.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm not paraphrasing, but that's it.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So they got into it after a recent game, and
Beid is quoted as saying, the next time you bring
up my dead brother and my son again, you are
going to see that what I'm going to do to you,
and I'm going to have to live with the consequences.
The tough guy Embiid said. So that began the confrontation. Now,
(04:07):
the columnist offered an apology for the comments, and Beid
rejected the apology, so he wouldn't accept the apology. Now,
the confrontation continued and Beid said, I don't care what
the media says.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You know, one of those guys, I don't care what
reporters say.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And the columnist, the guy you don't know. His name
is Hayes last name. He responded, but you do to Embiid.
So then Embiid, who moments earlier had said he doesn't
care what reporters say, then pushed the reporter, and then
a bunch of pr hacks broke up.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
The scrum in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So you got Joel Embiid on one side and this guy,
Marcus Hayes, the columnist, on the other side.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Joel Embiid has now been suspended for three games for
a confrontation with a Philadelphia sports columnist.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
How does this one hit you?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So I've got marching band, roadside, billboard, and Neanderthal and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to put a smile on your face.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
We're going to do it.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And if we don't do it, it's Eddie's fault. If
we don't do it's Eddie's fault. So num bur one.
Joel Embiid pretty likeable, pretty likable dude. He is rise
usually seems like he's having a good time. You know,
one out of every ten games he plays. He's loquacious,
(05:47):
and he's a heck of a ballplayer when he actually
shows up to work. However, Marcus Hayes, the No Name columnist,
what he did with his column It was like he
was with the Ohio State marching band. He dotted the
eye with his column because Embide's professionalism and effort to
(06:12):
stay in shape are his kryptonite.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
They are and no man, woman, or child.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Could disagree with that. He is regularly guilty of mouthfeasons.
He has been empowered by those around him. He has
now been convinced that this is acceptable behavior, that you
are rewarded for this. No adults work for the Philadelphia
seventy six ers. Nobody has the ability to say, hey,
(06:41):
you know, this is not really this is not good,
Like what you're doing is wrong and you should have
some pride in your performance and want to be in
these games.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You don't.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
But nobody has the balls to say that, So it
takes a columnist in Philadelphia to say it.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Now, my favorite part from that's what I've seen of
this confrontation.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I love that Embiid said he doesn't care what reporters say,
before seconds later giving a macho man Randy Savage like
top rope, elbow, drop the Hayes in my head in
the cartoon, bubble on my head. That's how it went down, right,
I mean, tell me you have a short fuse without
(07:23):
telling me you have a short fuse. And the line
where I don't care what the media says. It reminds
me of when I was in locker rooms a lot,
and I did this for years at.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
The beginning of my career.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I was a radio stringer and I had a talk
show and I would go into locker rooms all the time,
and I had confrontations with NBA players and baseball players.
I've been kicked out of locker rooms. I know what
that's like. I've been in those shoes. My favorite one
of those confrontations was a player on the Dodgers years
(07:57):
ago who was just terrible. The guy was horrific, and
I merely pointed out how bad he was. And I
was in the Dodger clubhouse this is before a game,
and the player player X will call him, comes up
to me and says, I've been hearing what you what
(08:20):
you're saying about me?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And I said, oh, yeah, yeah, you you listen? Huh?
He said, no, I don't listen, but my family does,
and I don't like it. You know, he just reading me.
The riot Act didn't hit me though there.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Was no physical violence, because I was bigger than that guy.
All right, now, page two, What did Joel n Bed
of the Sixers accomplish by giving this shove in this
media rhubarb with the columnist in Philadelphia?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
So what did he accomplish? I'm glad you asked. So.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I would argue that roughly one point five percent of
the seventy six fan base had read or heard what
Marcus Hayes wrote in the Philadelphia inquire But what Embiid
did was broadcast that. He put that in a boombox,
(09:15):
and Beide essentially worked as a roadside billboard advertising to
make sure even the casual sports fan is.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Aware of what happened.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Now to you me an idea how few people read
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I do a radio show. Now, granted we're.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
On nationally, but I'm on in the middle of the night,
and our audience, our footprint, the amount of people that
we reach here when everyone's sleeping is so much larger
than the circulation of the Philadelphia Enquirer. The last report
it was less than fifty thousand readers the circulation per day.
(09:57):
I mean, there's no one reading that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I could.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I could sit here and read Wikipedia pages and I'd
reach more people than the Philadelphia Inquirer. But it's great publicity.
It is great publicity by Joel Embiid. And as for
Marcus Hayes, I give the guy credit. You know, he's
following the TJ model of the late great TJ. Simers,
who was a friend of mine who stirred it up
all the time as a columnist.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And TJ always told me, he said, listen.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
If you're gonna throw haymakers, you got to be out
there and let the people you're talking about respond. And
so Marcus Hayes walked into a beehive and.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Say what you want.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Maybe you don't agree with what he wrote. You say
he's an a hole and all that, you hate the
media and all that. But he didn't hide right. He
was there, He was accountable. He said, you have a problem,
confront me, and beat had a problem confronted him.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
You know, that's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Now, as men, you're not supposed to hit each other,
right in a civilized world, in that environment. And Hayes
wrote what he wrote, He walked in there, faced the music,
in this case, faced being attacked by and beat right,
and you know you could have been charge of the crime.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
All right? Final part.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
So the NBA yet again scheduled no games. Every arena
was dark on election night. And I have to ask
you the question, does anyone think this is a good idea?
Does anyone think.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
This make sense? They've been doing this for a couple
of years now. Now.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I understand Adam Silver, he gets to flex his woke card.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And all that.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I get that, But isn't this just pure silliness the NBA.
I know they win, applause and way to go and
all that, But if you take a couple of steps
back as an adult and you put this under the microscope,
isn't the NBA really saying that their fan base is
filled with Neanderthals at the village idiot is a fan
(11:54):
of their product, and these people are unable to walk
into a gum at the same time or in this case,
vote and and attend or watch an NBA game on
the same day. They clearly think so little of the
people that support their product that they think they have
to have no games or else people won't vote. And
(12:15):
it's that argument we've had a lot over the last
five to ten years where people in sports who think
they're a lot more powerful than they are.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's number one.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Number two, they don't seem to understand their role in
the cosmos, that it's a distraction from the real world.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It's entertainment.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
And of course you could also play devil's advocate and
say that the regular season product in the NBA is
not very enjoyable, and so they actually did a public
service by not scheduling any games and having all the
arenas empty.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The products so bad.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
But I was able to watch a couple of hockey
games and I enjoyed those.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I'm not a big hockey guy.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I get in the playoffs in hockey, but I watched
the Bruins not show up in their game against the
Maple Leafs, and then also watch the Kings and the
while that had.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Those on for a while, and I was able to
watch those games. Check this out.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I'm gonna blow your mind. So I was able to
watch two hockey games. I was able to. I voted,
which you don't get applause for because you're just kind
of supposed to do it if you're eligibly supposed to
do it.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So I did that.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I was able to keep track of the election results,
and I was able to prepare for the radio show.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I did all of those things.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I was able to do all of those things, and
I didn't have to cancel any games or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
You know why, because I'm a grown up, and I
believe that my fellow men.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And women are also grown ups and they can also
handle these It's just so stupid to me. I don't
know why they do it, because you know, they get
the wote points and all that. I get that the NBA,
but it just seems so silly. And now, considering how
these elections turned out, maybe they'll they'll flip the switch
and go back and say, well, you know, maybe we
should play play some games in years to come.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Most Valuable player, Joel Nbid getting into it with a
columnist in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I love the story.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I'm all about the story Robin Vegas since his solid monologue.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Benjamin.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
However, I would be remiss if I didn't do a
wellness check.
Speaker 1 (16:06):

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Bad news for criminals on California, I guess they made
crime illegal again in California, so that's not the z. Yeah,
they passed that that prop that will actually punish people
for stealing stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Good, Yeah, shocking.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Late Night trug tester says if Joel Embiid showed as
much fight in the playoffs as he did against the reporter,
the Raptors would have never won their championship.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Shots shots fired there for sure? For sure? Who else
do you have?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Page down Guy writes in He says, Hey, Ben, good to.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Hear you again. First push of snow here in Colorado?
How exciting? Yeah, there you go, he says.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
He says, great to listen, Please please please No sanders.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
To l V Guy in Loan Tree. Okay, I don't
know what that last part means. I have no idea,
but I'm sure. I'm sure it's great. Who else do
we have? Super? Marcus Steve says, you think if the
NBA wanted to.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Promote voting, they would have every single team have a game,
and the only way to attend is to show that
you voted.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Have one of those stickers. I could do that.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Casey Carl Haller says, what are the chances that Embiids
still won't be ready to play after the suspension. Well,
pretty good. I predict Casey car Haller helped to meet
you on Saturday. By the way, I predict that he
will get hemorrhoids from sitting the next few days.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's lovely, Ben. Yes, are you eating, Loraina? Or what
are you? What are you doing? Are you eating something here?
What do you do you have there? My mouth right now? Ben?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, I gotta tell you that apple fritter one of
the great apple fritters I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Oh my gosh, it was so good. Yeah, I have
to agree.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
I was still eating that cream filled donut right now too,
right before the chips.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I got all the snacks, bro, Yeah, you're the queen
of the snacks. People love love the snacks. And we
have the little debbies. We get those going.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yes, we're loaded with little debbies. We got random chip packs.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I mean, we're good. What don't we have? We don't
have to go to the store for snacks. We're good
on snacks.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
But that that donut, man, that was so good. I
might have to go to that donut shop. Donut Darren
man hooking us.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Up big time? And now is he still there?
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Did he lead?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I don't know he's still here.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
He's still there, just sitting there and enjoying the show. Yeah,
just having a good time.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Super Marcus Steve says, I also agree with your take
on felon's not voting. My My favorite thing to say
to people that harass me outside my grocery store about
propositions is I am a former felon. They never bother
me anymore. That's a good line. Actually, I can't. I
can't fill that out.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I can't, you know, the whole thing. It's like, yeah,
and that's like a Larry David type line to get
out of doing something.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Is he a former felon? Or is it just a
line to get out of stuff?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Supermarcut Steve. I don't. Who knows, I don't. You don't
know anybody but what they're really like. But I would
go no, I think he just said that to get
out out of stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
You know, we've all done it, right, You've all said,
we've all said things to get out of doing something.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Maybe maybe it's it's.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Called the white lie, right, He's a little harmless lie
to get out of the right. Yeah, some of my
toe I can't do dance class today.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You gotta do it. You know, I've heard a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Every year I have this holiday party and I send
out invitations and every year certain people I have a
bet with my wife. I say, well, that person's going
to use the kid card, you know, and they're not
going to go because of the kid, which is I
think the reason to have a kid is to say
I can't go to something because of the kid. I
think that would be the main reason to have a kid.
(20:27):
But I know certain people that I know every single
event will use the kid card when I know for
a fact that they know they could, which I'm fine,
if you don't want to go, don't go, but come
up with like a legitimate They don't want.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
To say well I don't really want to go.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
It's like, yeah, I got, I got, And you know
they're full of crap, you know, they're just like making
crap up.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And they could absolutely absolutely go.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Anyway, Let's go to the phones. Let's see here, who

is currently being reset right now. And as soon as

all of it, all right, So fanboy worship the NFL
marketing arm on social media sent out a highlight of
Patrick Mahomes, and it was a highlight of a left
handed throw. Now why was this newsworthy? Did you see
(23:56):
this eddie? Do you follow the NFL?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I saw that.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
I saw the left handed throw.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Didn't see that they had promoted this. The problem with
this eddie It was an incomplete pass.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
So they was he just throwing it out of bounds.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
But it did look that it was directed out of bounds.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
But they they showed this as a highlight an incomplete
He's Mahomes is so good? An incomplete pass is worthy
of highlight? Seems a little much, you know, I would agree, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Because I could throw an incomplete pass. I could throw
left handed incomplete, Yes you can. I can.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I'm probably better left handed than that. But anyway, uh
so that's the the deo on that.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
North Turner is back in the NFL. The Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Just where you're talking any worse, Just when you thought
it couldn't get any worse.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I mean, Nobel Turner is back. This kid's gonna run
the offense. Supposedly.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, like the Raiders have Tom Coughlin as a senior
advisor for the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Someone I've heard and they got Norv Turner, Marvin Lewis.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
All these old the coaches are hanging around with the Raiders.
It's not helping them though they suck, Yes they do,
all right.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
It is the Ben Malor Show, which we hope, we
hope does not suck. But you'll be the ultimate judge.
Let's hope suck together. Let's go have fun sucking, you know.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Let's enjoy it together.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
But you did have fun sucking, but you didn't have
fun against the Dodgers because you sucked at a time
you cannot suck and you couldn't come back from that
suck because you really sucked and that was too much suck.
Let's have a fun fact. What do you say, hit
that button right there?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Funny fun fact.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
In honor of me making my pilgrimage to Arrowhead this weekend,
they fun fact about the Kansas City football team.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
The Chiefs have allowed.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Fewer than twenty eight points in twenty nine straight games,
including the playoffs. The only team with a longer streak
this millennium, the Philadelphia Eagles all the way back in
two thousand to two thousand and two, they.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Went thirty four straight games. You know who that coach
was of the Eagles, dan Ning Ning Ning Ning, Andy Reid.
Andy Reid.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So Andy Reid, who's an offensive guy, he's not a
defensive coordinator. But was it Jim Johnson was the defensive
coordinator for those Eagles back in that era.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
That sounds right, We'll this go with that. Why not?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
But to Andy Reid the common denominator between that period
of time and this period of time. Let's go back
to the calls and we'll say to Kyle, who is
in the great state of Connecticut, Hello, Kyle.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Welcome, Kyle's gone.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I'm told Kyle has hung off. Let's saylo to David
in Sicola. Hello, David, Well.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
What's up man? I was hoping you'll take my call.
I got a good chiefs take for you. How y'all doing?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
If I was any better, I would be a buccaneer,
but out of Tampa Bay buccaneer because they lost on
Monday night in overtime, So you're a Kansas City chiefs.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Well, if they went for the two point conversion like
I tried, to tell my buddies, you know, like, I mean,
why why wouldn't you go for it too? If you
if you miss it, they would have understood if you
may get, you beat us. Why would you get the
best player at their home field the ball? But anyway,
how y'all doing tonight?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, I mean we're doing a talk show. We're talking.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I just want to talk. I just want to talk
a little bit about the Chief. Is that all right?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Okay, well yeah, Coop Coop said no, he didn't want
to hear anything about that.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
All right. Well, I mean, y'all all right, so check
this out. When you lose your first, second, and third
string wide receiver in your running back, like most other
people do, we bring in people that have not even
played with us in over four or five years. Andy
Reid is the best combination coach. With Mahomes, you could
(28:12):
say Brady and Belichick. I mean, Mahomes a special he's
on a broken ankle save as the Super Bowl, and
he plays. Andy Reid can make do with whatever. Spagnola
is the best defensive coordinator I think there is.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yeah, what about the special teams? You want to you
want to suck up to the special teams too or not.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Hartman went and fumbled the ball every three games, you
know what I'm saying. But he did catch that wanting touchdown.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
But that is now, that is the weak spot that
so you are you are smothering.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Also, run the damn ball. If we run the ball
fifty yards is a penalty and we can bring it back, so.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
You know, I mean, well, it is clearly an anti
Chiefs bias by the officials.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Well it's all the teaktok stuff says the Chiefs are
on or the rest on our side. But I'm like
than the other teams. But it's all right, man. Sorry,
if you're getting hated on, I guess you're doing something right.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
But you have effectively sucked up to just about everyone
other than the specially what about the GM Brett Veach
what about him?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
You v Well that that's the whole point, man, I
mean between we tried to get Hopkins last year, like
all he wanted to be is on a contending team.
He's going to catch every ball, homes for them, as.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You every one of them. Really, what if he drops them?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Well, I'd say, well we'll go with eighty percent. Eighty percent.
I mean a player that wants to play. You ever
lost a job and then I have, and then you
give one back, you appreciate it. Kaream Hunt kicked a
woman and lied about not being in the hotel room,
walts his job.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
He's back with the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
That's why he runs twenty eight times of game.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
And yeah, yeah he remember Kareem Hunt was punished.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
He was sentenced to several years in Cleveland. That was
his punishment.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Yeah, yeah, you're right, you ain't lying.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, all right, oh thank you. I gotta go any
more sucking up to the Chiefs. And you know, I like,
I'm looking forward to going to the Sheets game, but
I'm not. I'm not wearing knee pads for the Chiefs.
I'm not not quite at that point. Maybe later, but
not not now.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I'll let you know. Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So enhanced storytelling turns out that Aaron Andrews, the sideline
reporter on Fox, has been called out. She's going to
war and she didn't start the war or she but
local TV weather people are very upset with Aaron Andrews,
the Fox longtime sideline with.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Now this is great.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
So if you're watching the Lion Packer game from lombau Field,
just north of Beautiful Appleton, Wisconsin in Green Bay. So
the game took place at the frozen Tundra. But it's
November and it's not the frozen tundra until later in
the year. But the weather is usually pretty bad, and
so it was windy and rainy, and it was not
(30:59):
a very pleasant day at lambeau Field. So during the game,
at one point, Aaron Andrews decided to report on the weather,
and she said on national television that they were expecting
at lambeau Field forty three mile per hour wind gus
(31:19):
with a chance of thunder and lightning turning into even
worse conditions, and.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Which would would.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Have been fine if a bunch of TV meteorologists had
not been watching and went irate, claiming that Aaron Andrews
is making up weather reports, begging Aaron Andrews to stop
making up weather reports. So one weather meteorologists person there
in Wisconsin sent out a message. Then another weather person said, well,
(31:51):
wait a minute here, I want to piggyback on that,
and we were off to the races, all right. So
at that point the original weather person to drive home
her point, shared a radar image of the entire state
of Wisconsin and there were no weather warnings over the
(32:13):
entire state of Minnes of Wisconsin. There and from the
min Minnesota border across Wisconsin into Lake Michigan and over
to Michigan there was no weather alerts and people very upset,
but enhanced storytelling.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Who is the other one that I don't know?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
She does a podcast Aaron Andrews with somebody else who
I don't I don't really listen to, but I.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Remember we did the story it was last year where
the other.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Woman said that she like made crap up and during
the game, like halftime report, she just like made stuff
up and she admitted to it, and that upset a
lot of people like these these I hate to tell you,
the coaches and players don't say anything, so whether they
make it up or not, it's anyway, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Time out for the Instant Tribua.

It's been a minute. It has been a minute.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
That is the question.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
What is the answer, And let's see does anyone know
the answer?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
We go to the Great Unwashed and we go page down,
page down.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Let's see we have Poppy Trump guessed by Cowboy Killer
Abdullah the Butcher from Robin Vegas, Famous Jamis Winston from
alf the Alien opiner Pat Tillman, who would have been
forty eight today.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Well rest in peace, so who else do you have?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Speedy Gonzales guests by Andy from Lion o' Lakes, one
of the iconic cartoon careers, Speedy Coop's favorite bronco of
all time. Jake Plumber. That was guessed by Eloy from Compton,
Tom Slick from Milkman, Mike in Colorado, Rutherford B.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Hayes Administration from King Rory.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
That's his answer, Real Sock from Art Puffin. Steve Young,
I guess by Dante Dennis Dixon from Shane in Des Moines.
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, Jeff in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Got it right. Bad job by them. Do you have
an answer? Loraina? Do you have an answer? Is it
mister ed Ben.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
The great mister ed Let's see here is it mister
ed No, the correct answer number?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
You got it right.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
It is none other than Steve Young and he was
the MVP and won the Super Bowl MVO. It's the Chargers,
the old San Diego Charger degree.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
This is one Big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Cooper.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Ryan recently said that, as much as he hates to
see it, that Drake May is a stud for the
Patriots and could have a really bright future.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Bendy the Pats have their guy in may Well.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Drake may has no past in the NFL, so all
he has is the present in the future. He has
played better than anticipated. It is way too premature to
say he's the man, but I will say that he
looks pretty good and he's playing better right now than
Caleb Williams, who he goes against this weekend in that
(36:30):
Bear's Patriots game.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
So it's encouraging, is the word I will use. Next.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
An anonymous NFL executive made a prediction that Anthony Richardson
will still be with the Colts next season and that
they will try to start him bend.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Do you agree?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I do not At this moment in time, I do
the show today, this moment in time, the odds are
heavily in favor of the Colts trading Anthony Richardson right
around the NFL Draft. Before the NFL Draft, he has
fallen out of the bubble of trust. Once you fall
out of the bubble of trust, it is almost impossible
to get back. And he was the worst quarterback in
(37:03):
the NFL, worse than Bryce Young and everyone else by
a mile.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
Next now, the Dodgers made the decision not to extend
qualifying offer to Walker Buehler. Now this means that he
could walk and the team wouldn't get any draft pick compensation. Ben,
do you think this is a bad idea by the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
No, it's not my money, and they have.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
A license to print money with all the money they've
getting out of Japan because of Otani. But I don't
have a problem with it. Walker Bueller was terrible during
the regular season. He was great in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I love obviously, who cannot say you know, we could
say enough good things about how he pitched.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
He's got big balls, but you know he's also had
two Tommy John surgeries, so good luck on that.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
How did we do, Koop? He passed this edition. That
is a win putter on the bar that Twitter
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number two and here an hour two.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
It's not every day that an MVP shoves a sports columnist,
but it did happen in the pro bouncy ball world.
Joel Embiid shoving a reporter in Philadelphia, a confrontation in
the locker room. How does this one hit you? Embiad's
been suspended for three games by the Philadelphia basketball team. Also,
what did Joel nbead accomplish with that media rhubarb heard
(00:32):
round the basketball world and the NBA yet again.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yesterday scheduled no games on Election Day? Does that make sense?
We'll talk about that and more right now here.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It is our number two, the people's MVP, but not
the media's MVP. Welcome, in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Show.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We are in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, as
we have all natural ingredients.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
The way tirebind show.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Me.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So our lead this hour is.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
From just a wonderful story, just a great story. I
saw this and my eyes got the size of delicious
grilled cheese sandwiches oversized grilled cheese sandwiches. And part of
it is because I relate to the story, because I
(02:16):
lived the life for a fair amount of time, and so.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I just love it.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So there were no games on Tuesday, but we have
a doozy of a story involving a household player in
the b A.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Now if you did not hear, and maybe not maybe
not the now he hasn't won.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It this year because they haven't given out in word
this year, But the NVP Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia
basketball team has been suspended for the next three games.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Without pay, without pay. Now, what did he do?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
He gave the old shove to a columnist for the
Philadelphia Inquire.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You've never heard of some guy named Marcus Hayes. You
don't know who that is. Nobody knows who that is.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
But it happened after a recent game. Now and Beads
shoved the columnist. He was upset with a recent column
which had chronicled what an abject failure Embiid is getting
on the court and contributing and helping the team out.
But in the column, they mentioned Embiid's son and his
late brother, who both have the same name, questioning embids
(03:31):
professionalism and effort to stay in shape and essentially saying, hey,
you know, Joel Embiid talks a lot about how he
wants to impress these people, and he never shows up
the work and plays right.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm not paraphrasing, but that's it.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So they got into it after a recent game, and
Beid is quoted as saying, the next time you bring
up my dead brother and my son again, you are
going to see that what I'm going to do to you,
and I'm going to have to live with the consequences.
The tough guy Embiid said. So that began the confrontation. Now,
(04:07):
the columnist offered an apology for the comments, and Beid
rejected the apology, so he wouldn't accept the apology. Now,
the confrontation continued and Beid said, I don't care what
the media says.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You know, one of those guys, I don't care what
reporters say.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And the columnist, the guy you don't know. His name
is Hayes last name. He responded, but you do to Embiid.
So then Embiid, who moments earlier had said he doesn't
care what reporters say, then pushed the reporter, and then
a bunch of pr hacks broke up.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
The scrum in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So you got Joel Embiid on one side and this guy,
Marcus Hayes, the columnist, on the other side.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Joel Embiid has now been suspended for three games for
a confrontation with a Philadelphia sports columnist.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
How does this one hit you?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So I've got marching band, roadside, billboard, and Neanderthal and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to put a smile on your face.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
We're going to do it.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And if we don't do it, it's Eddie's fault. If
we don't do it's Eddie's fault. So num bur one.
Joel Embiid pretty likeable, pretty likable dude. He is rise
usually seems like he's having a good time. You know,
one out of every ten games he plays. He's loquacious,
(05:47):
and he's a heck of a ballplayer when he actually
shows up to work. However, Marcus Hayes, the No Name columnist,
what he did with his column It was like he
was with the Ohio State marching band. He dotted the
eye with his column because Embide's professionalism and effort to
(06:12):
stay in shape are his kryptonite.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
They are and no man, woman, or child.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Could disagree with that. He is regularly guilty of mouthfeasons.
He has been empowered by those around him. He has
now been convinced that this is acceptable behavior, that you
are rewarded for this. No adults work for the Philadelphia
seventy six ers. Nobody has the ability to say, hey,
(06:41):
you know, this is not really this is not good,
Like what you're doing is wrong and you should have
some pride in your performance and want to be in
these games.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You don't.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
But nobody has the balls to say that, So it
takes a columnist in Philadelphia to say it.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Now, my favorite part from that's what I've seen of
this confrontation.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I love that Embiid said he doesn't care what reporters say,
before seconds later giving a macho man Randy Savage like
top rope, elbow, drop the Hayes in my head in
the cartoon, bubble on my head. That's how it went down, right,
I mean, tell me you have a short fuse without
(07:23):
telling me you have a short fuse. And the line
where I don't care what the media says. It reminds
me of when I was in locker rooms a lot,
and I did this for years at.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
The beginning of my career.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I was a radio stringer and I had a talk
show and I would go into locker rooms all the time,
and I had confrontations with NBA players and baseball players.
I've been kicked out of locker rooms. I know what
that's like. I've been in those shoes. My favorite one
of those confrontations was a player on the Dodgers years
(07:57):
ago who was just terrible. The guy was horrific, and
I merely pointed out how bad he was. And I
was in the Dodger clubhouse this is before a game,
and the player player X will call him, comes up
to me and says, I've been hearing what you what
(08:20):
you're saying about me?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And I said, oh, yeah, yeah, you you listen? Huh?
He said, no, I don't listen, but my family does,
and I don't like it. You know, he just reading me.
The riot Act didn't hit me though there.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Was no physical violence, because I was bigger than that guy.
All right, now, page two, What did Joel n Bed
of the Sixers accomplish by giving this shove in this
media rhubarb with the columnist in Philadelphia?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
So what did he accomplish? I'm glad you asked. So.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I would argue that roughly one point five percent of
the seventy six fan base had read or heard what
Marcus Hayes wrote in the Philadelphia inquire But what Embiid
did was broadcast that. He put that in a boombox,
(09:15):
and Beide essentially worked as a roadside billboard advertising to
make sure even the casual sports fan is.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Aware of what happened.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Now to you me an idea how few people read
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I do a radio show. Now, granted we're.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
On nationally, but I'm on in the middle of the night,
and our audience, our footprint, the amount of people that
we reach here when everyone's sleeping is so much larger
than the circulation of the Philadelphia Enquirer. The last report
it was less than fifty thousand readers the circulation per day.
(09:57):
I mean, there's no one reading that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I could.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I could sit here and read Wikipedia pages and I'd
reach more people than the Philadelphia Inquirer. But it's great publicity.
It is great publicity by Joel Embiid. And as for
Marcus Hayes, I give the guy credit. You know, he's
following the TJ model of the late great TJ. Simers,
who was a friend of mine who stirred it up
all the time as a columnist.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And TJ always told me, he said, listen.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
If you're gonna throw haymakers, you got to be out
there and let the people you're talking about respond. And
so Marcus Hayes walked into a beehive and.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Say what you want.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Maybe you don't agree with what he wrote. You say
he's an a hole and all that, you hate the
media and all that. But he didn't hide right. He
was there, He was accountable. He said, you have a problem,
confront me, and beat had a problem confronted him.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
You know, that's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Now, as men, you're not supposed to hit each other,
right in a civilized world, in that environment. And Hayes
wrote what he wrote, He walked in there, faced the music,
in this case, faced being attacked by and beat right,
and you know you could have been charge of the crime.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
All right? Final part.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
So the NBA yet again scheduled no games. Every arena
was dark on election night. And I have to ask
you the question, does anyone think this is a good idea?
Does anyone think.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
This make sense? They've been doing this for a couple
of years now. Now.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I understand Adam Silver, he gets to flex his woke card.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And all that.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I get that, But isn't this just pure silliness the NBA.
I know they win, applause and way to go and
all that, But if you take a couple of steps
back as an adult and you put this under the microscope,
isn't the NBA really saying that their fan base is
filled with Neanderthals at the village idiot is a fan
(11:54):
of their product, and these people are unable to walk
into a gum at the same time or in this case,
vote and and attend or watch an NBA game on
the same day. They clearly think so little of the
people that support their product that they think they have
to have no games or else people won't vote. And
(12:15):
it's that argument we've had a lot over the last
five to ten years where people in sports who think
they're a lot more powerful than they are.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's number one.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Number two, they don't seem to understand their role in
the cosmos, that it's a distraction from the real world.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It's entertainment.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
And of course you could also play devil's advocate and
say that the regular season product in the NBA is
not very enjoyable, and so they actually did a public
service by not scheduling any games and having all the
arenas empty.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The products so bad.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
But I was able to watch a couple of hockey
games and I enjoyed those.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I'm not a big hockey guy.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I get in the playoffs in hockey, but I watched
the Bruins not show up in their game against the
Maple Leafs, and then also watch the Kings and the
while that had.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Those on for a while, and I was able to
watch those games. Check this out.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I'm gonna blow your mind. So I was able to
watch two hockey games. I was able to. I voted,
which you don't get applause for because you're just kind
of supposed to do it if you're eligibly supposed to
do it.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So I did that.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I was able to keep track of the election results,
and I was able to prepare for the radio show.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I did all of those things.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I was able to do all of those things, and
I didn't have to cancel any games or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
You know why, because I'm a grown up, and I
believe that my fellow men.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And women are also grown ups and they can also
handle these It's just so stupid to me. I don't
know why they do it, because you know, they get
the wote points and all that. I get that the NBA,
but it just seems so silly. And now, considering how
these elections turned out, maybe they'll they'll flip the switch
and go back and say, well, you know, maybe we
should play play some games in years to come.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Most Valuable player, Joel Nbid getting into it with a
columnist in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I love the story.
Speaker 3 (15:56):

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Bad news for criminals on California, I guess they made
crime illegal again in California, so that's not the z. Yeah,
they passed that that prop that will actually punish people
for stealing stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Good, Yeah, shocking.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Late Night trug tester says if Joel Embiid showed as
much fight in the playoffs as he did against the reporter,
the Raptors would have never won their championship.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Shots shots fired there for sure? For sure? Who else
do you have?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Page down Guy writes in He says, Hey, Ben, good to.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Hear you again. First push of snow here in Colorado?
How exciting? Yeah, there you go, he says.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
He says, great to listen, Please please please No sanders.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
To l V Guy in Loan Tree. Okay, I don't
know what that last part means. I have no idea,
but I'm sure. I'm sure it's great. Who else do
we have? Super? Marcus Steve says, you think if the
NBA wanted to.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Promote voting, they would have every single team have a game,
and the only way to attend is to show that
you voted.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Have one of those stickers. I could do that.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Casey Carl Haller says, what are the chances that Embiids
still won't be ready to play after the suspension. Well,
pretty good. I predict Casey car Haller helped to meet
you on Saturday. By the way, I predict that he
will get hemorrhoids from sitting the next few days.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's lovely, Ben. Yes, are you eating, Loraina? Or what
are you? What are you doing? Are you eating something here?
What do you do you have there? My mouth right now? Ben?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, I gotta tell you that apple fritter one of
the great apple fritters I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Oh my gosh, it was so good. Yeah, I have
to agree.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
I was still eating that cream filled donut right now too,
right before the chips.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I got all the snacks, bro, Yeah, you're the queen
of the snacks. People love love the snacks. And we
have the little debbies. We get those going.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yes, we're loaded with little debbies. We got random chip packs.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I mean, we're good. What don't we have? We don't
have to go to the store for snacks. We're good
on snacks.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
But that that donut, man, that was so good. I
might have to go to that donut shop. Donut Darren
man hooking us.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Up big time? And now is he still there?
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Did he lead?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I don't know he's still here.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
He's still there, just sitting there and enjoying the show. Yeah,
just having a good time.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Super Marcus Steve says, I also agree with your take
on felon's not voting. My My favorite thing to say
to people that harass me outside my grocery store about
propositions is I am a former felon. They never bother
me anymore. That's a good line. Actually, I can't. I
can't fill that out.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I can't, you know, the whole thing. It's like, yeah,
and that's like a Larry David type line to get
out of doing something.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Is he a former felon? Or is it just a
line to get out of stuff?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Supermarcut Steve. I don't. Who knows, I don't. You don't
know anybody but what they're really like. But I would
go no, I think he just said that to get
out out of stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
You know, we've all done it, right, You've all said,
we've all said things to get out of doing something.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Maybe maybe it's it's.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Called the white lie, right, He's a little harmless lie
to get out of the right. Yeah, some of my
toe I can't do dance class today.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You gotta do it. You know, I've heard a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Every year I have this holiday party and I send
out invitations and every year certain people I have a
bet with my wife. I say, well, that person's going
to use the kid card, you know, and they're not
going to go because of the kid, which is I
think the reason to have a kid is to say
I can't go to something because of the kid. I
think that would be the main reason to have a kid.
(20:27):
But I know certain people that I know every single
event will use the kid card when I know for
a fact that they know they could, which I'm fine,
if you don't want to go, don't go, but come
up with like a legitimate They don't want.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
To say well I don't really want to go.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
It's like, yeah, I got, I got, And you know
they're full of crap, you know, they're just like making
crap up.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And they could absolutely absolutely go.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Anyway, Let's go to the phones. Let's see here, who

you know, and there's nothing better than going to.
Speaker 1 (22:33):

Speaker 3 (22:34):
But probably sometime when the weather gets better, I'll go

Speaker 8 (22:37):
All right, Hang hang on a second, man, What you

Speaker 8 (23:08):
Hey good, I'm a doctor. It's guys like MB just
ruining the NBA. I'm telling you, they're going to ruin it.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It'd be nice if they wanted to play and took
some pride.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
I don't think. I don't think the Cavs will lose again.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yes, they're gonna go eighty two and oh and they'll
win every playoff game.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Thank you, Cardiac Stanley.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
She bet all of your money on that, all of it,
all of it, all right, So fanboy worship the NFL
marketing arm on social media sent out a highlight of
Patrick Mahomes, and it was a highlight of a left
handed throw. Now why was this newsworthy? Did you see
(23:56):
this eddie? Do you follow the NFL?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I saw that.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
I saw the left handed throw.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Didn't see that they had promoted this. The problem with
this eddie It was an incomplete pass.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
So they was he just throwing it out of bounds.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
But it did look that it was directed out of bounds.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
But they they showed this as a highlight an incomplete
He's Mahomes is so good? An incomplete pass is worthy
of highlight? Seems a little much, you know, I would agree, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Because I could throw an incomplete pass. I could throw
left handed incomplete, Yes you can. I can.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I'm probably better left handed than that. But anyway, uh
so that's the the deo on that.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
North Turner is back in the NFL. The Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Just where you're talking any worse, Just when you thought
it couldn't get any worse.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I mean, Nobel Turner is back. This kid's gonna run
the offense. Supposedly.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, like the Raiders have Tom Coughlin as a senior
advisor for the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Someone I've heard and they got Norv Turner, Marvin Lewis.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
All these old the coaches are hanging around with the Raiders.
It's not helping them though they suck, Yes they do,
all right.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
It is the Ben Malor Show, which we hope, we
hope does not suck. But you'll be the ultimate judge.
Let's hope suck together. Let's go have fun sucking, you know.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Let's enjoy it together.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
But you did have fun sucking, but you didn't have
fun against the Dodgers because you sucked at a time
you cannot suck and you couldn't come back from that
suck because you really sucked and that was too much suck.
Let's have a fun fact. What do you say, hit
that button right there?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Funny fun fact.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
In honor of me making my pilgrimage to Arrowhead this weekend,
they fun fact about the Kansas City football team.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
The Chiefs have allowed.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Fewer than twenty eight points in twenty nine straight games,
including the playoffs. The only team with a longer streak
this millennium, the Philadelphia Eagles all the way back in
two thousand to two thousand and two, they.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Went thirty four straight games. You know who that coach
was of the Eagles, dan Ning Ning Ning Ning, Andy Reid.
Andy Reid.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So Andy Reid, who's an offensive guy, he's not a
defensive coordinator. But was it Jim Johnson was the defensive
coordinator for those Eagles back in that era.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
That sounds right, We'll this go with that. Why not?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
But to Andy Reid the common denominator between that period
of time and this period of time. Let's go back
to the calls and we'll say to Kyle, who is
in the great state of Connecticut, Hello, Kyle.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Welcome, Kyle's gone.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I'm told Kyle has hung off. Let's saylo to David
in Sicola. Hello, David, Well.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
What's up man? I was hoping you'll take my call.
I got a good chiefs take for you. How y'all doing?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
If I was any better, I would be a buccaneer,
but out of Tampa Bay buccaneer because they lost on
Monday night in overtime, So you're a Kansas City chiefs.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Well, if they went for the two point conversion like
I tried, to tell my buddies, you know, like, I mean,
why why wouldn't you go for it too? If you
if you miss it, they would have understood if you
may get, you beat us. Why would you get the
best player at their home field the ball? But anyway,
how y'all doing tonight?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, I mean we're doing a talk show. We're talking.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I just want to talk. I just want to talk
a little bit about the Chief. Is that all right?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Okay, well yeah, Coop Coop said no, he didn't want
to hear anything about that.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
All right. Well, I mean, y'all all right, so check
this out. When you lose your first, second, and third
string wide receiver in your running back, like most other
people do, we bring in people that have not even
played with us in over four or five years. Andy
Reid is the best combination coach. With Mahomes, you could
(28:12):
say Brady and Belichick. I mean, Mahomes a special he's
on a broken ankle save as the Super Bowl, and
he plays. Andy Reid can make do with whatever. Spagnola
is the best defensive coordinator I think there is.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yeah, what about the special teams? You want to you
want to suck up to the special teams too or not.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Hartman went and fumbled the ball every three games, you
know what I'm saying. But he did catch that wanting touchdown.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
But that is now, that is the weak spot that
so you are you are smothering.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Also, run the damn ball. If we run the ball
fifty yards is a penalty and we can bring it back, so.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
You know, I mean, well, it is clearly an anti
Chiefs bias by the officials.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Well it's all the teaktok stuff says the Chiefs are
on or the rest on our side. But I'm like
than the other teams. But it's all right, man. Sorry,
if you're getting hated on, I guess you're doing something right.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
But you have effectively sucked up to just about everyone
other than the specially what about the GM Brett Veach
what about him?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
You v Well that that's the whole point, man, I
mean between we tried to get Hopkins last year, like
all he wanted to be is on a contending team.
He's going to catch every ball, homes for them, as.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You every one of them. Really, what if he drops them?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Well, I'd say, well we'll go with eighty percent. Eighty percent.
I mean a player that wants to play. You ever
lost a job and then I have, and then you
give one back, you appreciate it. Kaream Hunt kicked a
woman and lied about not being in the hotel room,
walts his job.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
He's back with the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
That's why he runs twenty eight times of game.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
And yeah, yeah he remember Kareem Hunt was punished.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
He was sentenced to several years in Cleveland. That was
his punishment.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Yeah, yeah, you're right, you ain't lying.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, all right, oh thank you. I gotta go any
more sucking up to the Chiefs. And you know, I like,
I'm looking forward to going to the Sheets game, but
I'm not. I'm not wearing knee pads for the Chiefs.
I'm not not quite at that point. Maybe later, but
not not now.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I'll let you know. Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So enhanced storytelling turns out that Aaron Andrews, the sideline
reporter on Fox, has been called out. She's going to
war and she didn't start the war or she but
local TV weather people are very upset with Aaron Andrews,
the Fox longtime sideline with.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Now this is great.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
So if you're watching the Lion Packer game from lombau Field,
just north of Beautiful Appleton, Wisconsin in Green Bay. So
the game took place at the frozen Tundra. But it's
November and it's not the frozen tundra until later in
the year. But the weather is usually pretty bad, and
so it was windy and rainy, and it was not
(30:59):
a very pleasant day at lambeau Field. So during the game,
at one point, Aaron Andrews decided to report on the weather,
and she said on national television that they were expecting
at lambeau Field forty three mile per hour wind gus
(31:19):
with a chance of thunder and lightning turning into even
worse conditions, and.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Which would would.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Have been fine if a bunch of TV meteorologists had
not been watching and went irate, claiming that Aaron Andrews
is making up weather reports, begging Aaron Andrews to stop
making up weather reports. So one weather meteorologists person there
in Wisconsin sent out a message. Then another weather person said, well,
(31:51):
wait a minute here, I want to piggyback on that,
and we were off to the races, all right. So
at that point the original weather person to drive home
her point, shared a radar image of the entire state
of Wisconsin and there were no weather warnings over the
(32:13):
entire state of Minnes of Wisconsin. There and from the
min Minnesota border across Wisconsin into Lake Michigan and over
to Michigan there was no weather alerts and people very upset,
but enhanced storytelling.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Who is the other one that I don't know?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
She does a podcast Aaron Andrews with somebody else who
I don't I don't really listen to, but I.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Remember we did the story it was last year where
the other.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Woman said that she like made crap up and during
the game, like halftime report, she just like made stuff
up and she admitted to it, and that upset a
lot of people like these these I hate to tell you,
the coaches and players don't say anything, so whether they
make it up or not, it's anyway, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Time out for the Instant Tribua.

page down.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Let's see we have Poppy Trump guessed by Cowboy Killer
Abdullah the Butcher from Robin Vegas, Famous Jamis Winston from
alf the Alien opiner Pat Tillman, who would have been
forty eight today.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Well rest in peace, so who else do you have?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Speedy Gonzales guests by Andy from Lion o' Lakes, one
of the iconic cartoon careers, Speedy Coop's favorite bronco of
all time. Jake Plumber. That was guessed by Eloy from Compton,
Tom Slick from Milkman, Mike in Colorado, Rutherford B.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Hayes Administration from King Rory.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
That's his answer, Real Sock from Art Puffin. Steve Young,
I guess by Dante Dennis Dixon from Shane in Des Moines.
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, Jeff in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Got it right. Bad job by them. Do you have
an answer? Loraina? Do you have an answer? Is it
mister ed Ben.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
The great mister ed Let's see here is it mister
ed No, the correct answer number?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
You got it right.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
It is none other than Steve Young and he was
the MVP and won the Super Bowl MVO. It's the Chargers,
the old San Diego Charger degree.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
This is one Big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Cooper.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Ryan recently said that, as much as he hates to
see it, that Drake May is a stud for the
Patriots and could have a really bright future.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Bendy the Pats have their guy in may Well.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Drake may has no past in the NFL, so all
he has is the present in the future. He has
played better than anticipated. It is way too premature to
say he's the man, but I will say that he
looks pretty good and he's playing better right now than
Caleb Williams, who he goes against this weekend in that
(36:30):
Bear's Patriots game.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
So it's encouraging, is the word I will use. Next.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
An anonymous NFL executive made a prediction that Anthony Richardson
will still be with the Colts next season and that
they will try to start him bend.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Do you agree?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I do not At this moment in time, I do
the show today, this moment in time, the odds are
heavily in favor of the Colts trading Anthony Richardson right
around the NFL Draft. Before the NFL Draft, he has
fallen out of the bubble of trust. Once you fall
out of the bubble of trust, it is almost impossible
to get back. And he was the worst quarterback in
(37:03):
the NFL, worse than Bryce Young and everyone else by
a mile.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
Next now, the Dodgers made the decision not to extend
qualifying offer to Walker Buehler. Now this means that he
could walk and the team wouldn't get any draft pick compensation. Ben,
do you think this is a bad idea by the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
No, it's not my money, and they have.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
A license to print money with all the money they've
getting out of Japan because of Otani. But I don't
have a problem with it. Walker Bueller was terrible during
the regular season. He was great in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I love obviously, who cannot say you know, we could
say enough good things about how he pitched.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
He's got big balls, but you know he's also had
two Tommy John surgeries, so good luck on that.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
