Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dingdo. It's our number two. Our number two is ready
for you. And we asked the question why why did
Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski go with Joe Flacco as QB
number one? Also what is the text message from Stefanski
(00:22):
to Brown's rookie Shader Sanders and Dylan Gabriel on not
not getting QB one's status they go with the grizzled veteran.
Also toss up question Zaban Howard to the Colts or
Matthew Judon to the Dolphins, who is more likely to
make some noise in twenty twenty five. We'll go down
(00:43):
that road as well. And here it is our number two.
The results are in well come. In the beginning of
another hour of The Bend Mal Show, we are in
the air every where, Bessies, as we get a seat
(01:07):
at the table coast to coast, border to border and
beyond on the vast and impeccably powerful microphones of fsre
ammating live from the trail as we leave behind audio
chemtrails from the Fox Sports Radio studios, much to the
dismay of Canuckstruck. That's right, canuck Struck, a fan of
(01:32):
the show, and this portion of the Ben Mather Show,
made possible by our friends at tire Iraq. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot
(01:53):
Com the way tire buying should be. And we are
back at it again, and our lead hour is from
the Factory of Sadness in Cleveland, Ohio. That's right, we
go where the news of the day takes us. And
we had three teams, three teams that had quarterback drama,
(02:13):
O rama, drama, O rama. And one of them has
announced their QB one and that would be the Cleveland
football team. If you somehow missed this because pay attention
to the Browns, perhaps you missed it. The Browns have
named We've learned Joe Flaco. That's right, as old as
(02:33):
a dinosaur, Joe Flaco as the starting quarterback in Week
number one against the Bengals. Now, much to the annoyance
of the fan boys, the Cleveland Officionatos, who are very
upset by this. I remember a couple years ago Joe
Flacco was the flavor of the month. It was anyone,
(02:55):
anyone other than Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Flacco now his old news, but he has beaten out
Kenny Pickett hard to believe, and rookies Shader Sanders and
Dylan Gabriel. But Sanders look so good in those little
practice games. Now. Flacco, when he played for the Browns
back in twenty twenty three, somehow led the team to
a playoff appearance and it didn't have great individual statistics
(03:24):
in five starts. He did win the AP Comeback Player
of the Year award, which upset many people. They wanted
Damar Hamlin, who the guy that almost croaked on the
field for the Bills. They wanted him to win Comeback
Player of the Year, but it was Joe Flacco. Now.
Last season playing for the Horseshoes with the Colts, Flacco
again had pretty middling numbers. You'll give you twelve touchdowns
(03:47):
and seven interceptions and he'll play really well for one
game or a half and then disappear for the next
half or the next couple of games. So let us
discuss the question why why did the brown coach Kevin
Stefanski go with Joe Flacco as QB one. So my observations,
I've got Tuxedo, Alan Wrench, and Best Buy, and we'll
(04:13):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make some chow. That's right, we're gonna make some chow.
So number one my first answer, and I'm the first
answer is always the top answer. The answer I'm going with,
I want to see if you agree or disagree, is
it starts with a d decorum, right, football decorm. That's
(04:35):
the ticket. You follow the protocol. When in doubt, you
go buy the book. When in doubt, you go by
the way. So in my head, Stefanski's looking at the
quarterback depth chart. He says, well, this guy sucks. That
guy blows, that guy's garbage, and that guy's trash. But
I got to name a starterist. So what do you do?
What do you do? You follow the protocol, Kevin Stefanski,
(04:57):
it's the safe pick. If Flaco's sucks, you say, I
was just going by the book. I was just going
by the book. That's it. You're not reinventing anything here.
You're just polishing the hupcap. You're not inventing the wheel.
The wheel has already been invented. You're just polishing the hupcap.
That's it now. Joe Flacco has more mileage at this
(05:18):
point than a rusted out nineteen ninety four tourus a
lot of miles and a lot of rust. It's been
left outside, it hasn't been parked in the garage. There's
a lot going on. Here. Is the guy you start
when you want to give the illusion you're a competent
franchise right that you're you're actually competent, but you're not
(05:39):
committing to the future. You're worried about now. You're living
in the moment, and it's it's kind of like if
you put on a tuxedo to have a nice frozen dinner.
You're gonna have a nice microwave dinner, but you're getting
all dressed up here. Listen, I can go to a
five star restaurant where a tuxiedo. I can sit here
and eat my one pound of fish day and the
(06:01):
potato on the side there. I can do that. And
so that is what they're doing here. They're like, well, listen,
we're gonna get all dressed up. This is a Super
Bowl champion quarterback. Joe Flacco. The single greatest postseason run
of my Lifetime was Joe Flacco for the Baltimore Ravens.
It'll never be matched. Well, I'm around and Joe Flacco
did it. Uh, and he got paid a lot of
(06:21):
money and then he stole that money and that was it.
But the TV dinner thing as well, it looks good, right,
you run in, the tuxedo, looks good, the food looks good,
and then you start eating in it, it's like, well, it's
a little robbery. That's not very good and all that stuff.
So they're going with the VHS option. The Browns are saying, well,
go VHS. I know everyone's doing streaming, but we like
(06:43):
that old school that click. You know, when you put
the VHS tape you're old enough to remember VHS to
you put that in. Thathing locks in there and you're like,
I'm in, I got a movie. I got a movie,
and that's it. Now. The streaming, of course, you dependent
on the Wi Fi and all that stuff es He outdated. Absolutely,
it still occasionally works, much like a VCR. Occasionally it'll
(07:07):
still work. And he's the analog quarterback in a digital league.
And that's what Joe Flacco is. And you're going with
that the way I approached this. Now, I am not
a Cleveland brown fan. I was for one year. I
was forced. I switched teams every year, and you idiots
voted me a Cleveland Browns fan for one year. So
I do have some Browns merch at the Malor Mansion.
Although I did. I lost the one piece of Browns
(07:28):
merch I wish I had. I cannot find it. Somebody
sent me. They thought it was the ugliest Cleveland brown
hat and it had the Brown's Elf mascot on it,
and I thought it was so ugly. It was good. Look.
I actually wore that, and I wore it so much.
I never lose hats, and I I cannot find the hat.
(07:51):
I don't know what happened to it. It was like
his orange hat and it had these ugly brown leprechaun
the mascot. But I had, I had Brown's jersey. I've
had all this stuff, and all this stuff anyway, back
to the story. So I look at this, I'll be
Benny bright Side. I am Benny bright Side. The Browns
are using these first couple of games of the regular
(08:12):
season as a showcase. That's what they're doing. And Flacco
is not The Browns quarterback. He is the available asset
for the Cleveland Browns. They'll try him out there and
they'll let him sling the duke pass the football around
for the first three or four weeks of the season,
and they're just gonna wait and there'll be some voodoo
(08:34):
bugaloo that'll pop up. And not that you want Mahomes
to twist an ankle or Josh Allen to get a
case of the yips, or Lamar Jackson to pull a
hammy and have it go whammy. You don't want any
of that. However, if any of that does happen, Boom
goes the dynamite. Boom goes the dynamite, and then you
look at I need a starter and this let me
get a classic. I want a vintage. I want a
(08:57):
stratocaster at a pawn shop. That's Joe Flacco. I want
the stratocaster from the pod shop. Boom, Joe Flacco. Done, done, undone, done,
all right now, Page two. So what is the text message,
if you will, What is the text for Brown's rookie
Shadur Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. What is the message the
(09:19):
Browns are sending for them not getting the starting job
and being who knows third four string. So Kevin Stevanski
is sending the text message. The text message that he
is sending is that hey said, listen, Shadur Sanders, Dylan Gabriel.
We don't do on the job training, not right now.
(09:40):
We're not into that. That's not what we're going for.
This is not a some kind of school. It's not
a monassory school in the it's the AFC North and
we're not willing to give the keys to one of
you rookies. So you're sorry. That's it. We're not doing it.
So Sanders and Gabriel they're still in the I Kia
phase of their careers. Now what does that mean. That
(10:04):
means some of you believe there is endless hope because
you think every young player is going to be great.
You do you tell me that when I rip prospects,
you said, oh my god, you were so wrong. The
two things that I get ripped apart most for are
I would trade every draft pick. I would be like,
there's this guy named Mike Ditka. You don't know who
that is, but he used to coach the football team
in Chicago, and then he coached the team in New Orleans.
(10:25):
He traded all of his draft picks one year to
get this running back named Ricky Williams who loved weed
more than football, which was a problem, but they went
for and I had no problem with that. I was like,
trade all the picks. So I get ripped for that. Well,
you know what are you doing? I prospect is a suspect.
That's my go to. And also I get ripped for
a pointing out there is no such thing as momentum.
(10:47):
People get very upset, very upset because they've been raised
on Uncle Moe. And I say, well, uncle Moe lives
in New Jersey. He used to live in Brooklyn, and
Uncle Moe moved from Brooklyn to New Jersey, so I
know uncle Mah. I have not met Uncle Moe, but
Uncle Mo is that's a person. That's not That's not
a thing. Anyway, get back to the point. So Sanders
and Gabriel, the rookies, they're in the IKEA phase of
(11:09):
their careers. What does that mean. There's a lot of
hope and all that stuff, but you need an Alan wrench.
You need an Alan wrench, and you got to work
your way through the Swedish instructions because for some reason
they didn't include the English instructions, so you've got to
read the Swedish instructions to make it all work. And
Stefansk is saying, well, we're kNN a build for the future,
but you want these guys to watch. We want them
(11:31):
to observe what is going on and all that stuff.
And right now we're going with not the Ikea sofa.
We're going with the sofa that we got from the
thrift store, the Joe Flacco sofa from the thrift store.
It's not about winning. It's more about optics and doing
what you're supposed to do. As we mentioned the word protocol,
you're following the protocol. It's also about those I believe showcasing.
(11:54):
This is the mannequin in the window and you're putting
Joe Flacco out there and you're like, all right, I'm
out there, and he's a relic and maybe he'll be
okay for a couple of games and all that. And
he's also been to more quarterback meetings Joe Flacco than
Shadura Sanders has college starts by a country mile. And
(12:17):
he's not flashy, he's not good, he's not fast. However,
he's familiar. It's kind of like that as you get older.
There's certain clothes that you keep. It's a pair of
shorts or some old shoes. There's just stuff that we
keep that fits right. It doesn't necessarily look right, but
it fits right. You kind of keep it around, and
(12:37):
you keep that till you check out, and then somebody
else has to get rid of it. But you keep
that to the very end of the road, when you
reach the end of the line. There, you keep that stuff.
And we've got to get all these Browns monologues in.
Got to get them all in. And the reason we
have to get them all in is because once the
season starts, those will be poison. And we're trying to
get him all in right now, and then we'll meet
(13:00):
the quota that we have for our friends in Cleveland
and whatnot. And did get an email from a god?
What did you stop doing? The you who's listening to
the podcast thing? I don't know. We should do it everyone,
but maybe we'll do it later, all right, Final point
to the high speed Transaction Wire the sports Wire. Couple
of veteran name brand, name brand defensive players on the move.
(13:25):
People you've heard of, people you've heard of on the move.
Zavon Howard, a longtime Miami Dolphin defensive back. He goes
to the Colts on a one year deal. Matthew Judan,
an ex pat of the last year he played with
the Falcons. He is off to Miami Miami, Miami Miami
on a one year deal. So toss up question, zavan
(13:48):
Howard to the Colts, Matthew Judan to the Dolphins. Who
is more likely to make some noise in twenty twenty five.
So the answer to this is both of these guys
are dunskies. Okay, However, despite the fact they've got more
kooties and miles than a Motel six bedspread, if you
(14:10):
know what I mean, there's a reason they were both
unemployed and they just agreed to contracts. Here a couple
weeks before the regular season is the over the Hill Gang.
It's kind of like arguing and having some kind of
debate over whether or not you want to go with
the Commodore sixty four or the Atari twenty six hundred.
If you're an old school computer historian, you know what
(14:32):
I'm talking about. But you I'm not play fantasy. Should
I do my fantasy on the Commodore or the Atari,
neither one of them. Dude is connecting you to the
Internet in twenty twenty five. So you're shopping at best
Buy and you're in the scratch and dent aisle at
best Buy. You're like, there's something good in there. You
(14:53):
see what's in there? What is that? What is that
thing of a jake? What's the watch? McCall? Now that said,
if I got a pick, knife to the throat, gone
to the head, God do it. I'm going with Judon.
I'm going with Matthew Judon. Now, I think Miami is
gonna fall off the cliff this year, but I'm still
taking Matthew Judon. He doesn't have to be the star.
(15:15):
They actually have some decent players on that defense in Miami.
Not that they are a great defense. They are an
average defense. You don't have to go in there and
be Batman. He'd be Alfred the Butler in Miami. He's
just another body in the dolphin rotation. And if he
gets a couple of sacks now and again, that's great
for Judon. And he'll go down there in Florida to
find Ponce de Leon and on Craigslist he'll meet with
(15:38):
Ponstelli on the parking lot of a waffle house and
he'll have some water there and boom, good to go,
all right? And Judon is actually older than Zavin Howard.
He's thirty three. He just had a birthday. We don't
do shout outs, so if you want a shout out,
go to Cameo. Judon's thirty three. His last good year
was in twenty twenty two. And this is the one
(16:00):
last spin around the track before the wheels on the
bus go off the bus. The wheels on the bus
go off the bus, and then you got Howard, who's younger. However,
I have spent minutes, long minutes of my time debating this,
and I've determined, after a brief deliberation, that it is
way harder, way harder to age as a defensive back
(16:24):
than it is as an edge rusher. Meaning once you
lose half a step as a defensive back, forget about it,
forget to buy your toast. And trying to cover Justin
Jefferson with a walker, it doesn't go well. And Drew
Don at least he moves the needle like there's just
ages better. It's one of those things that just your
(16:47):
pass rusher, a situational pass rusher. It's like Von Miller, right,
von Miller, who's not an every down player, and he's
with Washington now he's assuming he's somewhat healthy, and you
put him out there occasionally he'll get your two sacks
and game. And like, I look at Judaan, who's not
as good as von Miller, but he's the situational edge rusher,
and he can be that guy and get a couple
(17:07):
more years out of his career. It is the Ben

going Mallard style for one day only.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Vegas.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Details on all these social media channels. We'll see you there.
Back to it, back he where we go? And I
saw that Patrick Mahomes says that NFL fans turn on you.
This is in a preview video that has been making
the rounds from something called The Kingdom. Not true. I
(19:33):
guess that's a six part docu series. I don't know
what that is. I haven't watched it. There's a promo
clip that's making the rounds though, and Mahomes aware that
they sustained success is followed by people that want to
see you fall apart. Now I understand how this work.
First of all, having lived a certain amount of years,
(19:55):
like I remember the Michael Jordan is a great example
of this. Michael Jordan won a gazillion championships with the
Chicago Bulls, and people got tired of Jordan. They had
fatigue of Michael Jordan, and so they started taking shots
at Michael Jordan. They started knocking him down. And what
I have noticed is that, yeah, they build you up, suck,
(20:18):
they knock you down, they build you up again, and
then when you get to a certain point, you are
essentially immortal in that. Like people don't sit there, you know,
real people don't sit there and say, oh, Michael Jordan
didn't do this right or didn't do that right. It's
like no, no, it's like you only remember the greatness
(20:39):
of Michael Jordan and that's it, And that's the way
it works. And that Tom Brady didn't play all that
well in a lot of Super Bowls. Is anyone sitting
there and focusing on how crappy Tom Brady played in
several of those Super Bowls? They're not doing that, So
Mahomes said, people start to turn on you and you
kind of become the villain, he said, But for me,
(21:00):
it's just more about playing the game the right way. Well,
that's a boring answer, all right. It is the Ben Malershaw.
We'll go to the calls here at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox and we'll say hello to Eenie Meenie,
miney Moe. Let's hello to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome. Hmm.
(21:22):
Things that make go hold I say, here's that's the Andres.
There's Andre. Hello, Andre, welcome andre O.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
Ben Yeah, good, good to be with you. You know
I'm here. I'm in full effect. Check on tech on
Willis he's etre right now, having a good time.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
You said a little you said a little congested. Is
it allergies or do you have some kind of viral illness?
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Slightly congested? Ben, h, I appreciate you noticing an early
head cod You know, I don't necessarily have issues until
the summer season.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And again, well you can do a garlic you could
do that, can catch that nice hot shower that you know,
that's my favorite hot shower.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Those things are effective, and I appreciate that, Ben. But
what I did, I'm doing much better than I was previously.
I had to do three regiments of tustin. See. You know,
if Chris Rock says Rover, tustin can cure anything, you know,
from a head cold right uh, to you know, to
some major injuries sustained. You know in football, you know,
you just you take some tussing and you're gonna you're
(22:33):
gonna be all right.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
All right.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
So this started last week and I wasn't. I usually
don't get it because as I said, and see Willis
is saying it. Wilse is here. Now I don't get
it until September, so it's a month earlier that this came,
you know, to fruition, and I said, I got, I
gotta apply to tusting, which I did after three regiments.
I'm doing much better. But thank you for noticing that
I'm gonna miss this mall or meet and greet, which
(22:55):
WHI kind of hurts my heart because I realized that
not only going to meet them, miss the meet and greet,
You're probably going to cook something for the meat Wenn,
because well, I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I don't know that I'm gonna cook anything. I our
house is not here and we don't have the kitchen. Well,
that is true, and I'm planning on trying to get
to Vegas early there. The company is efforting to get
me a studio to do the show from Vegas, and
so well, hopefully I'll be able to go there and
enjoy Vegas a little bit earlier and do the show Friday,
Thursday and Friday from Vegas, and so then I'll be
(23:29):
able to hang out and enjoy Friday, and then Saturday
is the big meet and greet and then I'll head back.
It has been secured. Oh, it has been I'll get
I'll be doing the show from Vegas, and it's great
and so but my plan is, see, I'm gonna I
cannot come back on Sunday. Willis agrees with me, by
the way, because and you don't know this, Andre, because
(23:49):
you're in the Commonwealth and all that, But the traffic
pattern from Vegas to la is a freaking nightmare. It
could take up to eight hours on a Sunday to
get if you leave right when the hotel's empty out
at eleven AM's check out time for most of the
hotels in Vegas. You get on the on the road
about eleven thirty noon and there's an accident out there
(24:10):
in the desert. You're You're stuck. You're screwed. There's no
other way to go. So I'm going to probably go
back in the middle of the night Saturday and the Sunday.
That's my plan.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Okay, do some man I like this. You're gonna do
some midnight writing. Okay, what's the cap cut kit? That's me.
I'm partial to it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
So, oh yeah, listen, I was just this past weekend
I went up the coast and I was driving in
the middle of the night and couldn't see anything, and
it was kind of cool. Yeah, yeah, that's where to go.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Got the high beams on. You're living good. Yeah, all right,
that's good to hear. But a specific to sports, the
Cincinnati Bengals, you know, they can't get out of their
own way, you know, all the foolishness. They don't want
to pay this guy. You know, they're gonna pinch pennies,
I e. The Indiana Pacers. Million dollars here, million dollars there.
What does that matter when you're competing, when you're trying
to put Joe and Joe Burrow in position to win,
(24:59):
to compete for a Super Bowl. I'm not even winning
in Super Bowl, but can fete for a Super Bowl.
So this says right on brands to these small market teams.
And you yourself, Ben, you say it.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
All the time.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
All right, we don't need salary caps because these teams
show they're not willing to spend what it takes to win.
So forget the salary cap. You know, even if you
had nothing, they still wouldn't spend the money because they're
cheap skates, right, and It's frustrating for me because listen,
it looks like the Cincinnati Bengals they're gonna miss the
playoffs two years in a row. Trying to do it
on the cheap. You're gonna waste Joe Burrow's talent. Everybody's
(25:29):
talking about this offense and Chase and Burrow. They can't
stop what. They can't stop a cold in the waning
days of summer. They can't stop anybody or anything. So
for my money, the Browns are gonna beat the brakes
off of them. All right, I want to talk about
the quarterback. The Browns just gonna line up and run
the heck over the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow is never
gonna get in a field. I know you have other
callers from me and Willis, Okay, even Tho. I'm getting
(25:51):
ready to head back to school, but we're gonna still constantly.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I know you got the dreaded day job, I got
the dreaded day shifted all but we're rare and appropriate.
Hope you'll call in. We'll try to get you on
quick there, Andre, because I know you got to get
some sleep and all that. But all right, thank you.
All right, there's the great Andre, take some robotustin and
it'll be good to go. So all he needs. Let's
(26:14):
say hello to Lucky Tony in the Bay Area. Hello,
Lucky Tony.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
Hey Ben. I wanted to tip my bearsat to nature
Boy for reminding me about the David Vasse flight video
because I watched it the other day and it was
pretty funny. And also I wanted to tell the joke writers,
if you guys could write jokes about Lizzo, you guys
could write jokes about Vass, but keep it classy. And
I'd like to give an example if you.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Don't mind, Ben, Okay, Oh sure, you're Lucky Tony of course,
Lucky Tony.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
What does David Vasse eat on Taco Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I don't know, Dix.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Thanks Ben, I want to hear that. You'll have to
go to the podcast be available on the podcast there
or will it? I don't know, we'll find out will
it make the podcast? It's a He's a tribute to
a caller we had and still calls the show occasionally.
It was a great tribute right there. See what do
(27:14):
we have here?
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
What's that? I think it's called Dix? Have you ever
been to Dix in Vegas where they like things on
your hat. Is that the last resort places? Yeah, there's
also a Dix Sporting Goods. Yes, Dix Sporting Goods, which
is it was very odd. It was ahead of his time.
When I was a kid, I used to go to
this place called Chicks Sporting Goods, Chicks and Dix, and
they were Chicks was actually purchased by Dick Sporting Goods.
(27:39):
And I showed up and one day Chicks was no
longer around. It became Dix, and I was like, Wow,
that's Dick's Sporting Goods. Wow, it's amazing. So anyway, assumer
Marcus Steep says, I wish I knew where you were
doing the show from in Vegas on Thursday into Friday.
I would have loved to watch the show live. Well,
I don't think we'll have a live audience at this
particular place. I think it'll be just story. I don't
(28:00):
even know, to be honest with you, So I don't
know where i'll be supermarket. Steve, I've not gotten the
exact address. I assume i'll get that before I arrive
in Vegas, and so I'll let you know. Steve says,
I'm sorry that my wife and I will not be
able to bring Tierra Massoux. It just logistically is really
hard to keep it cold while driving out there. Yeah,
(28:21):
so super marsive. There is some new technology. It was
just invented. It's called an ice pack. And Loraina, also
you've told me they have these things called these cooler
bags that you can get, yes, insulated, and so if
you combine those two things together, you have nice cool
Tiera Massou. I actually went to dinner the other day
in the middle, went to dinner.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
And I used one of those cooler bags and I
put three different bags of ziploc full of ice in there,
and they did not melt at all, kept the pie
cold the whole time.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
The way to do it, absolutely, Bill says, who in
the hell is putting you in Vegas? Kira to would
never kimmel? No way. Are you broadcasting from Oscar Goodman's
Martini bar? If not, you should be. Bill's completely sauced.
He has no idea what he's saying here. He's completely hammered.
(29:15):
Ferg Dog says, with all the resources at the Dodgers disposal,
how is it possible for the bottom of their lineup
to be so terrible. Somehow, I think the problem traces
back to all the money they threw at Vassay's hero
Blake Snow seems like a good take to me. It's
a solid take. Absolutely. I see what else do we
(29:35):
have that page? Then here you go. All right, let's
go to the King of Kurds in the Great State
of Wisconsin. Hello King of Kurds.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Man, beautiful verhemos of aim being.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Hello King. If I was any better, i'd be a curd.
But I'm not, and there aren't. There's like ripoff cheese curds,
but they're not authentic Wisconsin cheese curds, cheap ripoff versions.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Not at all. Yeah, I don't even know where to start.
I haven't called in a while, but I do love this.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Just take it, take it slow. This is a practice.
Rep take it slow.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I know you love list radio, but I was trying
to think of the rushmore of Ben Mallard colors, and
I want to add a fift because it's so hard
to just keep it at four.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, what's well, I don't know where you're going with.
I would do big board big boards allowed. We don't
do lists, but I could do a big board you
want to do a big board.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Well, I feel like Genie and Medford and Doc Mike
gotta be on there.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah. We don't hear from Doc much anymore. He's still alive,
but he's not up late or early or whatever, so
you don't.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Hear from yea. So this is like something that's all
time great. Yeah, and I think it's pretty easy to
come up with the four.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Really.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I gotta fight.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I feel like this, all right, hold on, who's your
Your top two are genies clearly on there. I would
agree with Doc Mike. Doc has done some crazy bits
on the show, the whole stuff in Chicago, putting the
goat head around, getting national publicity, showing up the road
shows and just when he puld up and he had
(31:24):
an autographed table at the thing in Minnesota which was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
But yes, a hodgepo to me because I feel like
Sear the hood guy deserves some recognition.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
He's on the Mount Rushmore. And this is my take,
And it was going to be.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Controversial, controversial take coming down the pike here, controversial take.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Yes, Yes, so I think that the two that you
named are obvious ones. I think you have to put
cowboy on the Mount Rushmore Cowboy. John Brady's been there
since the beginning.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
For longevity, but that's like a lifetime achievement award, like
a don But he.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Has he hasn't even like you know, he hasn't do
I mean there's been there's been lulls, but you know,
he comes with it, and he doesn't only do his bit.
He participates inside the bite sometimes, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Every once in a while, but usually just to get
goofy names right.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Is a fight. It might be a verbal octagon, but
between Marcell and Blair just because they are let's let's.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Be real, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get slacked for this.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
You know what's it? It's blind Scott.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Scott.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, but bl blind Scott crosses generations. Like these callers
usually they only last for a little bit of time
and they move on to something else. So like Blind
Scott for longevity was definitely got to be in there.
I mean, I've blind Scott's changed a lot over the years,
and he's very loyal to the show and he's still remains.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
But there definitely been times where his calls were premium.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
You know, they were must listen. I gotta tell you
just for me personally. Pete and Pittsburgh, who hasn't called
in years, is retired as a caller. Uh, who's that
beer drink? Beer drinking? Brian's great, but if you see
the problem with beer drinking, you got to have your
own wing, a big, big board of like the drunks,
(33:18):
like beer ban there's beer drinking, Brian will But how
about Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay. A lot of people
don't even know who that is anymore. He's been gone
for a long time. Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay, one
of the all time great callers at talk radio. Jimmy
Right from Tampa Bay.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Bill, Angry Bill. I know you're not a big proponent
of him, but Bill, like there you go there.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Well, if you want to go like angry old white guy,
angry Bills at the very top, mark the full name guy,
you got to put him on there, Mark very angry.
We would have like you would. And again this is
not a list if Terry in England's list, but you
could just do a big board of people that have
sent me death threats. Blind Scott's on there, the full
(34:07):
name guy, He's on there. You know down the big board.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
So, but I haven't called him in a while, and
I wanted to let you know that I do cook
at a bar and grill nearby in Wisconsin, and I
do cook cheese curds.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Oh nice, that is my guilty pleasure.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
I do love Coop. I give him a lot of flag.
I kinda we have potato scoops, so I want to
do the coops scoops O let him and let him
add the toppings. But then I also want you to
have a chicken tender.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Okay, I mean I do love potato, all right, I
mean send me, send me an email. We'll cover names.
We'll come up with something good there. What part of
Wisconsin are you in.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
By the way, I'm in Baby Milwaukee area.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
And Baby Milwaukee. Okay, all right, Well, I don't know
if you heard, though it was it was it Sleazy
Cheese called in last week and said he wants to
send us all to Milwaukee to do a meet and
greet thing.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Ude, I told you I got a couple locals. We've
done the mallar militia subtle meet and greets after hours.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, no, we non sanctioned. These are unofficial, those are
illegal you're violating the city code, but we will. We
would love to do that, and hopefully we'll put that
on that Now. The key is I always say we
want something named after us, but it's got to be
on the menu, the actual physical menu. Otherwise we don't
count that. So you know it will be okay, all right,
send me, send me, send me an email Ben Maller
(35:41):
Show at gmail dot com, and we'll work out the
names and all that. That'd be cool. I guarantee you
my I'm forced my brother to drive down from Appleton,
and if he doesn't, I'll kick his ass. Next time
I see him. He will have to drive down and
eat the food, and then I'll, of course I have
to visit him. I think as a brother, I have
to visit him every couple of years at least. So
I have to go to Wiscon and into rotation because
he doesn't leave the state of wiscons He's like Dick
(36:03):
and Dayton doesn't leave Ohio. My brother does not leave
the state of Wisconsin. So anyway, it is the Ben
Mahler Show. Quickly, quickly, we have mallardly third degree. Here
is the Insta Trivia Former Giants allenfielder Mike Gystremsky that's
quickly famous name, hit his third leadoff home run in
his fifteenth game played with the Royals. Blank is the

home runs in fewer career games with any team than
Mike Gistremsky. That's the question, the answer next.

Buddy in San Diego Byron Buxton from FEMI What say you, Laraida?
Stephen King all right, the proud resident of Maine. No,
that is incorrect. It's the greatest of all time for
leadolf hitters, the great Ricky Henderson with the Seattle Mariners,
(38:12):
who did it in seven games for the Mariners. Rest
in piece, Ricky, here we go. It's maller. How about
that the third?
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, this is one big gets quilled.
Speaker 6 (38:26):
So the Bills got beat up thirty eight to nothing
by the Bears in a preseason matchup on Sunday, and
though it means nothing, one of my closest friends, a
Bills fan, is convinced that the entire AFC East is
going to take a step forward while the Bills are
going to take a step backwards.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
He's a pessimist. Ben, do you agree with.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Any of that.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
I would not base any decisions based on an exhibition
game and the I watched some of that game. It
was on national television for some reason, and the Buffalo
Bills had the chronic case of id GAF. If you
know what I mean, I don't give an f and
so I know, like, I think the Bills will be
good in the regular season, the Jets will be mediocre,
the Dolphins will get worse. I think the Patriots will
(39:05):
be better. So I think that's how the AFC East
is going to go. And they're not gonna fall off
the map there in Buffalo, although if they have that attitude,
if they come out flasted like that, sure, Next.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Speaking of that thirty eight and win by the Bears,
I got a lot of people excited about the Ben
Johnson Caleb Williams pairing.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
You're Gene in Chicago, so excited.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Yeah, After Williams had a few quote big time throws.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
G managers also fired up. Is this year's Poe?
Speaker 6 (39:31):
Is this year gonna look better for the former Trojan?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Well don't. I don't buy the Bears. I'm not on
board with the Bears. I'm not like he had good
numbers other than the sack thing last year. I think
the Bears will be a mediocre team. I think they'll
be about where they were when they had Mitch Trubisky,
where you're in that nine eight, nine, ten win area
where you're kind of a fringe contender for the playoffs,
(39:55):
but you're not really next.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
So the Bengals aren't the only ones listening to trade offers,
as it was reported that the Commanders are shopping. They're
starting running back Brian Robinson junior Benjon Commander's fans start
to worry about the developments in DC.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
No, they should be I'm okay with this, Like the
running back thing is a replaceable position, coop. Brian Robinson's
in the last year, coming up on the last year
of his contract, so they want to get rid of
him now and they just keep it's evolving though he's
not a game changing running back. I get it.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
How did we do?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
They win?
Speaker 5 (40:22):
I got Oh my god, I want kirk dog.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
I won
Dingdo. It's our number two. Our number two is ready
for you. And we asked the question why why did
Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski go with Joe Flacco as QB
number one? Also what is the text message from Stefanski
(00:22):
to Brown's rookie Shader Sanders and Dylan Gabriel on not
not getting QB one's status they go with the grizzled veteran.
Also toss up question Zaban Howard to the Colts or
Matthew Judon to the Dolphins, who is more likely to
make some noise in twenty twenty five. We'll go down
(00:43):
that road as well. And here it is our number two.
The results are in well come. In the beginning of
another hour of The Bend Mal Show, we are in
the air every where, Bessies, as we get a seat
(01:07):
at the table coast to coast, border to border and
beyond on the vast and impeccably powerful microphones of fsre
ammating live from the trail as we leave behind audio
chemtrails from the Fox Sports Radio studios, much to the
dismay of Canuckstruck. That's right, canuck Struck, a fan of
(01:32):
the show, and this portion of the Ben Mather Show,
made possible by our friends at tire Iraq. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot
(01:53):
Com the way tire buying should be. And we are
back at it again, and our lead hour is from
the Factory of Sadness in Cleveland, Ohio. That's right, we
go where the news of the day takes us. And
we had three teams, three teams that had quarterback drama,
(02:13):
O rama, drama, O rama. And one of them has
announced their QB one and that would be the Cleveland
football team. If you somehow missed this because pay attention
to the Browns, perhaps you missed it. The Browns have
named We've learned Joe Flaco. That's right, as old as
(02:33):
a dinosaur, Joe Flaco as the starting quarterback in Week
number one against the Bengals. Now, much to the annoyance
of the fan boys, the Cleveland Officionatos, who are very
upset by this. I remember a couple years ago Joe
Flacco was the flavor of the month. It was anyone,
(02:55):
anyone other than Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Flacco now his old news, but he has beaten out
Kenny Pickett hard to believe, and rookies Shader Sanders and
Dylan Gabriel. But Sanders look so good in those little
practice games. Now. Flacco, when he played for the Browns
back in twenty twenty three, somehow led the team to
a playoff appearance and it didn't have great individual statistics
(03:24):
in five starts. He did win the AP Comeback Player
of the Year award, which upset many people. They wanted
Damar Hamlin, who the guy that almost croaked on the
field for the Bills. They wanted him to win Comeback
Player of the Year, but it was Joe Flacco. Now.
Last season playing for the Horseshoes with the Colts, Flacco
again had pretty middling numbers. You'll give you twelve touchdowns
(03:47):
and seven interceptions and he'll play really well for one
game or a half and then disappear for the next
half or the next couple of games. So let us
discuss the question why why did the brown coach Kevin
Stefanski go with Joe Flacco as QB one. So my observations,
I've got Tuxedo, Alan Wrench, and Best Buy, and we'll
(04:13):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make some chow. That's right, we're gonna make some chow.
So number one my first answer, and I'm the first
answer is always the top answer. The answer I'm going with,
I want to see if you agree or disagree, is
it starts with a d decorum, right, football decorm. That's
(04:35):
the ticket. You follow the protocol. When in doubt, you
go buy the book. When in doubt, you go by
the way. So in my head, Stefanski's looking at the
quarterback depth chart. He says, well, this guy sucks. That
guy blows, that guy's garbage, and that guy's trash. But
I got to name a starterist. So what do you do?
What do you do? You follow the protocol, Kevin Stefanski,
(04:57):
it's the safe pick. If Flaco's sucks, you say, I
was just going by the book. I was just going
by the book. That's it. You're not reinventing anything here.
You're just polishing the hupcap. You're not inventing the wheel.
The wheel has already been invented. You're just polishing the hupcap.
That's it now. Joe Flacco has more mileage at this
(05:18):
point than a rusted out nineteen ninety four tourus a
lot of miles and a lot of rust. It's been
left outside, it hasn't been parked in the garage. There's
a lot going on. Here. Is the guy you start
when you want to give the illusion you're a competent
franchise right that you're you're actually competent, but you're not
(05:39):
committing to the future. You're worried about now. You're living
in the moment, and it's it's kind of like if
you put on a tuxedo to have a nice frozen dinner.
You're gonna have a nice microwave dinner, but you're getting
all dressed up here. Listen, I can go to a
five star restaurant where a tuxiedo. I can sit here
and eat my one pound of fish day and the
(06:01):
potato on the side there. I can do that. And
so that is what they're doing here. They're like, well, listen,
we're gonna get all dressed up. This is a Super
Bowl champion quarterback. Joe Flacco. The single greatest postseason run
of my Lifetime was Joe Flacco for the Baltimore Ravens.
It'll never be matched. Well, I'm around and Joe Flacco
did it. Uh, and he got paid a lot of
(06:21):
money and then he stole that money and that was it.
But the TV dinner thing as well, it looks good, right,
you run in, the tuxedo, looks good, the food looks good,
and then you start eating in it, it's like, well, it's
a little robbery. That's not very good and all that stuff.
So they're going with the VHS option. The Browns are saying, well,
go VHS. I know everyone's doing streaming, but we like
(06:43):
that old school that click. You know, when you put
the VHS tape you're old enough to remember VHS to
you put that in. Thathing locks in there and you're like,
I'm in, I got a movie. I got a movie,
and that's it. Now. The streaming, of course, you dependent
on the Wi Fi and all that stuff es He outdated. Absolutely,
it still occasionally works, much like a VCR. Occasionally it'll
(07:07):
still work. And he's the analog quarterback in a digital league.
And that's what Joe Flacco is. And you're going with
that the way I approached this. Now, I am not
a Cleveland brown fan. I was for one year. I
was forced. I switched teams every year, and you idiots
voted me a Cleveland Browns fan for one year. So
I do have some Browns merch at the Malor Mansion.
Although I did. I lost the one piece of Browns
(07:28):
merch I wish I had. I cannot find it. Somebody
sent me. They thought it was the ugliest Cleveland brown
hat and it had the Brown's Elf mascot on it,
and I thought it was so ugly. It was good. Look.
I actually wore that, and I wore it so much.
I never lose hats, and I I cannot find the hat.
(07:51):
I don't know what happened to it. It was like
his orange hat and it had these ugly brown leprechaun
the mascot. But I had, I had Brown's jersey. I've
had all this stuff, and all this stuff anyway, back
to the story. So I look at this, I'll be
Benny bright Side. I am Benny bright Side. The Browns
are using these first couple of games of the regular
(08:12):
season as a showcase. That's what they're doing. And Flacco
is not The Browns quarterback. He is the available asset
for the Cleveland Browns. They'll try him out there and
they'll let him sling the duke pass the football around
for the first three or four weeks of the season,
and they're just gonna wait and there'll be some voodoo
(08:34):
bugaloo that'll pop up. And not that you want Mahomes
to twist an ankle or Josh Allen to get a
case of the yips, or Lamar Jackson to pull a
hammy and have it go whammy. You don't want any
of that. However, if any of that does happen, Boom
goes the dynamite. Boom goes the dynamite, and then you
look at I need a starter and this let me
get a classic. I want a vintage. I want a
(08:57):
stratocaster at a pawn shop. That's Joe Flacco. I want
the stratocaster from the pod shop. Boom, Joe Flacco. Done, done, undone, done,
all right now, Page two. So what is the text message,
if you will, What is the text for Brown's rookie
Shadur Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. What is the message the
(09:19):
Browns are sending for them not getting the starting job
and being who knows third four string. So Kevin Stevanski
is sending the text message. The text message that he
is sending is that hey said, listen, Shadur Sanders, Dylan Gabriel.
We don't do on the job training, not right now.
(09:40):
We're not into that. That's not what we're going for.
This is not a some kind of school. It's not
a monassory school in the it's the AFC North and
we're not willing to give the keys to one of
you rookies. So you're sorry. That's it. We're not doing it.
So Sanders and Gabriel they're still in the I Kia
phase of their careers. Now what does that mean. That
(10:04):
means some of you believe there is endless hope because
you think every young player is going to be great.
You do you tell me that when I rip prospects,
you said, oh my god, you were so wrong. The
two things that I get ripped apart most for are
I would trade every draft pick. I would be like,
there's this guy named Mike Ditka. You don't know who
that is, but he used to coach the football team
in Chicago, and then he coached the team in New Orleans.
(10:25):
He traded all of his draft picks one year to
get this running back named Ricky Williams who loved weed
more than football, which was a problem, but they went
for and I had no problem with that. I was like,
trade all the picks. So I get ripped for that. Well,
you know what are you doing? I prospect is a suspect.
That's my go to. And also I get ripped for
a pointing out there is no such thing as momentum.
(10:47):
People get very upset, very upset because they've been raised
on Uncle Moe. And I say, well, uncle Moe lives
in New Jersey. He used to live in Brooklyn, and
Uncle Moe moved from Brooklyn to New Jersey, so I
know uncle Mah. I have not met Uncle Moe, but
Uncle Mo is that's a person. That's not That's not
a thing. Anyway, get back to the point. So Sanders
and Gabriel, the rookies, they're in the IKEA phase of
(11:09):
their careers. What does that mean. There's a lot of
hope and all that stuff, but you need an Alan wrench.
You need an Alan wrench, and you got to work
your way through the Swedish instructions because for some reason
they didn't include the English instructions, so you've got to
read the Swedish instructions to make it all work. And
Stefansk is saying, well, we're kNN a build for the future,
but you want these guys to watch. We want them
(11:31):
to observe what is going on and all that stuff.
And right now we're going with not the Ikea sofa.
We're going with the sofa that we got from the
thrift store, the Joe Flacco sofa from the thrift store.
It's not about winning. It's more about optics and doing
what you're supposed to do. As we mentioned the word protocol,
you're following the protocol. It's also about those I believe showcasing.
(11:54):
This is the mannequin in the window and you're putting
Joe Flacco out there and you're like, all right, I'm
out there, and he's a relic and maybe he'll be
okay for a couple of games and all that. And
he's also been to more quarterback meetings Joe Flacco than
Shadura Sanders has college starts by a country mile. And
(12:17):
he's not flashy, he's not good, he's not fast. However,
he's familiar. It's kind of like that as you get older.
There's certain clothes that you keep. It's a pair of
shorts or some old shoes. There's just stuff that we
keep that fits right. It doesn't necessarily look right, but
it fits right. You kind of keep it around, and
(12:37):
you keep that till you check out, and then somebody
else has to get rid of it. But you keep
that to the very end of the road, when you
reach the end of the line. There, you keep that stuff.
And we've got to get all these Browns monologues in.
Got to get them all in. And the reason we
have to get them all in is because once the
season starts, those will be poison. And we're trying to
get him all in right now, and then we'll meet
(13:00):
the quota that we have for our friends in Cleveland
and whatnot. And did get an email from a god?
What did you stop doing? The you who's listening to
the podcast thing? I don't know. We should do it everyone,
but maybe we'll do it later, all right, Final point
to the high speed Transaction Wire the sports Wire. Couple
of veteran name brand, name brand defensive players on the move.
(13:25):
People you've heard of, people you've heard of on the move.
Zavon Howard, a longtime Miami Dolphin defensive back. He goes
to the Colts on a one year deal. Matthew Judan,
an ex pat of the last year he played with
the Falcons. He is off to Miami Miami, Miami Miami
on a one year deal. So toss up question, zavan
(13:48):
Howard to the Colts, Matthew Judan to the Dolphins. Who
is more likely to make some noise in twenty twenty five.
So the answer to this is both of these guys
are dunskies. Okay, However, despite the fact they've got more
kooties and miles than a Motel six bedspread, if you
(14:10):
know what I mean, there's a reason they were both
unemployed and they just agreed to contracts. Here a couple
weeks before the regular season is the over the Hill Gang.
It's kind of like arguing and having some kind of
debate over whether or not you want to go with
the Commodore sixty four or the Atari twenty six hundred.
If you're an old school computer historian, you know what
(14:32):
I'm talking about. But you I'm not play fantasy. Should
I do my fantasy on the Commodore or the Atari,
neither one of them. Dude is connecting you to the
Internet in twenty twenty five. So you're shopping at best
Buy and you're in the scratch and dent aisle at
best Buy. You're like, there's something good in there. You
(14:53):
see what's in there? What is that? What is that
thing of a jake? What's the watch? McCall? Now that said,
if I got a pick, knife to the throat, gone
to the head, God do it. I'm going with Judon.
I'm going with Matthew Judon. Now, I think Miami is
gonna fall off the cliff this year, but I'm still
taking Matthew Judon. He doesn't have to be the star.
(15:15):
They actually have some decent players on that defense in Miami.
Not that they are a great defense. They are an
average defense. You don't have to go in there and
be Batman. He'd be Alfred the Butler in Miami. He's
just another body in the dolphin rotation. And if he
gets a couple of sacks now and again, that's great
for Judon. And he'll go down there in Florida to
find Ponce de Leon and on Craigslist he'll meet with
(15:38):
Ponstelli on the parking lot of a waffle house and
he'll have some water there and boom, good to go,
all right? And Judon is actually older than Zavin Howard.
He's thirty three. He just had a birthday. We don't
do shout outs, so if you want a shout out,
go to Cameo. Judon's thirty three. His last good year
was in twenty twenty two. And this is the one
(16:00):
last spin around the track before the wheels on the
bus go off the bus. The wheels on the bus
go off the bus, and then you got Howard, who's younger. However,
I have spent minutes, long minutes of my time debating this,
and I've determined, after a brief deliberation, that it is
way harder, way harder to age as a defensive back
(16:24):
than it is as an edge rusher. Meaning once you
lose half a step as a defensive back, forget about it,
forget to buy your toast. And trying to cover Justin
Jefferson with a walker, it doesn't go well. And Drew
Don at least he moves the needle like there's just
ages better. It's one of those things that just your
(16:47):
pass rusher, a situational pass rusher. It's like Von Miller, right,
von Miller, who's not an every down player, and he's
with Washington now he's assuming he's somewhat healthy, and you
put him out there occasionally he'll get your two sacks
and game. And like, I look at Judaan, who's not
as good as von Miller, but he's the situational edge rusher,
and he can be that guy and get a couple
(17:07):
more years out of his career. It is the Ben
Mahler Show. If you'd like to be part of this,

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Bill Miller Right here it is the Ben Maler Show.
Las Vegas, Get Ready Baby. This Saturday from three to five,
the Mallard Militia take over the Stakeout Bar and grew
right near UNLV. It's one day only can hang out
with Ben Maller, Loraina and Coop all will be in
the house. Come hang out, schmooze. Be part of the Mayhem,
(18:54):
do not miss the meet and greet. The legends will
be there. Well, he'll decide that it'll be Saturday Vegas
going Mallard style for one day only.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Vegas.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Details on all these social media channels. We'll see you there.
Back to it, back he where we go? And I
saw that Patrick Mahomes says that NFL fans turn on you.
This is in a preview video that has been making
the rounds from something called The Kingdom. Not true. I
(19:33):
guess that's a six part docu series. I don't know
what that is. I haven't watched it. There's a promo
clip that's making the rounds though, and Mahomes aware that
they sustained success is followed by people that want to
see you fall apart. Now I understand how this work.
First of all, having lived a certain amount of years,
(19:55):
like I remember the Michael Jordan is a great example
of this. Michael Jordan won a gazillion championships with the
Chicago Bulls, and people got tired of Jordan. They had
fatigue of Michael Jordan, and so they started taking shots
at Michael Jordan. They started knocking him down. And what
I have noticed is that, yeah, they build you up, suck,
(20:18):
they knock you down, they build you up again, and
then when you get to a certain point, you are
essentially immortal in that. Like people don't sit there, you know,
real people don't sit there and say, oh, Michael Jordan
didn't do this right or didn't do that right. It's
like no, no, it's like you only remember the greatness
(20:39):
of Michael Jordan and that's it, And that's the way
it works. And that Tom Brady didn't play all that
well in a lot of Super Bowls. Is anyone sitting
there and focusing on how crappy Tom Brady played in
several of those Super Bowls? They're not doing that, So
Mahomes said, people start to turn on you and you
kind of become the villain, he said, But for me,
(21:00):
it's just more about playing the game the right way. Well,
that's a boring answer, all right. It is the Ben Malershaw.
We'll go to the calls here at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox and we'll say hello to Eenie Meenie,
miney Moe. Let's hello to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome. Hmm.
(21:22):
Things that make go hold I say, here's that's the Andres.
There's Andre. Hello, Andre, welcome andre O.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
Ben Yeah, good, good to be with you. You know
I'm here. I'm in full effect. Check on tech on
Willis he's etre right now, having a good time.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
You said a little you said a little congested. Is
it allergies or do you have some kind of viral illness?
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Slightly congested? Ben, h, I appreciate you noticing an early
head cod You know, I don't necessarily have issues until
the summer season.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And again, well you can do a garlic you could
do that, can catch that nice hot shower that you know,
that's my favorite hot shower.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Those things are effective, and I appreciate that, Ben. But
what I did, I'm doing much better than I was previously.
I had to do three regiments of tustin. See. You know,
if Chris Rock says Rover, tustin can cure anything, you know,
from a head cold right uh, to you know, to
some major injuries sustained. You know in football, you know,
you just you take some tussing and you're gonna you're
(22:33):
gonna be all right.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
All right.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
So this started last week and I wasn't. I usually
don't get it because as I said, and see Willis
is saying it. Wilse is here. Now I don't get
it until September, so it's a month earlier that this came,
you know, to fruition, and I said, I got, I
gotta apply to tusting, which I did after three regiments.
I'm doing much better. But thank you for noticing that
I'm gonna miss this mall or meet and greet, which
(22:55):
WHI kind of hurts my heart because I realized that
not only going to meet them, miss the meet and greet,
You're probably going to cook something for the meat Wenn,
because well, I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I don't know that I'm gonna cook anything. I our
house is not here and we don't have the kitchen. Well,
that is true, and I'm planning on trying to get
to Vegas early there. The company is efforting to get
me a studio to do the show from Vegas, and
so well, hopefully I'll be able to go there and
enjoy Vegas a little bit earlier and do the show Friday,
Thursday and Friday from Vegas, and so then I'll be
(23:29):
able to hang out and enjoy Friday, and then Saturday
is the big meet and greet and then I'll head back.
It has been secured. Oh, it has been I'll get
I'll be doing the show from Vegas, and it's great
and so but my plan is, see, I'm gonna I
cannot come back on Sunday. Willis agrees with me, by
the way, because and you don't know this, Andre, because
(23:49):
you're in the Commonwealth and all that, But the traffic
pattern from Vegas to la is a freaking nightmare. It
could take up to eight hours on a Sunday to
get if you leave right when the hotel's empty out
at eleven AM's check out time for most of the
hotels in Vegas. You get on the on the road
about eleven thirty noon and there's an accident out there
(24:10):
in the desert. You're You're stuck. You're screwed. There's no
other way to go. So I'm going to probably go
back in the middle of the night Saturday and the Sunday.
That's my plan.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Okay, do some man I like this. You're gonna do
some midnight writing. Okay, what's the cap cut kit? That's me.
I'm partial to it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
So, oh yeah, listen, I was just this past weekend
I went up the coast and I was driving in
the middle of the night and couldn't see anything, and
it was kind of cool. Yeah, yeah, that's where to go.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Got the high beams on. You're living good. Yeah, all right,
that's good to hear. But a specific to sports, the
Cincinnati Bengals, you know, they can't get out of their
own way, you know, all the foolishness. They don't want
to pay this guy. You know, they're gonna pinch pennies,
I e. The Indiana Pacers. Million dollars here, million dollars there.
What does that matter when you're competing, when you're trying
to put Joe and Joe Burrow in position to win,
(24:59):
to compete for a Super Bowl. I'm not even winning
in Super Bowl, but can fete for a Super Bowl.
So this says right on brands to these small market teams.
And you yourself, Ben, you say it.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
All the time.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
All right, we don't need salary caps because these teams
show they're not willing to spend what it takes to win.
So forget the salary cap. You know, even if you
had nothing, they still wouldn't spend the money because they're
cheap skates, right, and It's frustrating for me because listen,
it looks like the Cincinnati Bengals they're gonna miss the
playoffs two years in a row. Trying to do it
on the cheap. You're gonna waste Joe Burrow's talent. Everybody's
(25:29):
talking about this offense and Chase and Burrow. They can't
stop what. They can't stop a cold in the waning
days of summer. They can't stop anybody or anything. So
for my money, the Browns are gonna beat the brakes
off of them. All right, I want to talk about
the quarterback. The Browns just gonna line up and run
the heck over the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow is never
gonna get in a field. I know you have other
callers from me and Willis, Okay, even Tho. I'm getting
(25:51):
ready to head back to school, but we're gonna still constantly.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I know you got the dreaded day job, I got
the dreaded day shifted all but we're rare and appropriate.
Hope you'll call in. We'll try to get you on
quick there, Andre, because I know you got to get
some sleep and all that. But all right, thank you.
All right, there's the great Andre, take some robotustin and
it'll be good to go. So all he needs. Let's
(26:14):
say hello to Lucky Tony in the Bay Area. Hello,
Lucky Tony.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
Hey Ben. I wanted to tip my bearsat to nature
Boy for reminding me about the David Vasse flight video
because I watched it the other day and it was
pretty funny. And also I wanted to tell the joke writers,
if you guys could write jokes about Lizzo, you guys
could write jokes about Vass, but keep it classy. And
I'd like to give an example if you.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Don't mind, Ben, Okay, Oh sure, you're Lucky Tony of course,
Lucky Tony.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
What does David Vasse eat on Taco Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I don't know, Dix.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Thanks Ben, I want to hear that. You'll have to
go to the podcast be available on the podcast there
or will it? I don't know, we'll find out will
it make the podcast? It's a He's a tribute to
a caller we had and still calls the show occasionally.
It was a great tribute right there. See what do
(27:14):
we have here?
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
What's that? I think it's called Dix? Have you ever
been to Dix in Vegas where they like things on
your hat. Is that the last resort places? Yeah, there's
also a Dix Sporting Goods. Yes, Dix Sporting Goods, which
is it was very odd. It was ahead of his time.
When I was a kid, I used to go to
this place called Chicks Sporting Goods, Chicks and Dix, and
they were Chicks was actually purchased by Dick Sporting Goods.
(27:39):
And I showed up and one day Chicks was no
longer around. It became Dix, and I was like, Wow,
that's Dick's Sporting Goods. Wow, it's amazing. So anyway, assumer
Marcus Steep says, I wish I knew where you were
doing the show from in Vegas on Thursday into Friday.
I would have loved to watch the show live. Well,
I don't think we'll have a live audience at this
particular place. I think it'll be just story. I don't
(28:00):
even know, to be honest with you, So I don't
know where i'll be supermarket. Steve, I've not gotten the
exact address. I assume i'll get that before I arrive
in Vegas, and so I'll let you know. Steve says,
I'm sorry that my wife and I will not be
able to bring Tierra Massoux. It just logistically is really
hard to keep it cold while driving out there. Yeah,
(28:21):
so super marsive. There is some new technology. It was
just invented. It's called an ice pack. And Loraina, also
you've told me they have these things called these cooler
bags that you can get, yes, insulated, and so if
you combine those two things together, you have nice cool
Tiera Massou. I actually went to dinner the other day
in the middle, went to dinner.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
And I used one of those cooler bags and I
put three different bags of ziploc full of ice in there,
and they did not melt at all, kept the pie
cold the whole time.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
The way to do it, absolutely, Bill says, who in
the hell is putting you in Vegas? Kira to would
never kimmel? No way. Are you broadcasting from Oscar Goodman's
Martini bar? If not, you should be. Bill's completely sauced.
He has no idea what he's saying here. He's completely hammered.
(29:15):
Ferg Dog says, with all the resources at the Dodgers disposal,
how is it possible for the bottom of their lineup
to be so terrible. Somehow, I think the problem traces
back to all the money they threw at Vassay's hero
Blake Snow seems like a good take to me. It's
a solid take. Absolutely. I see what else do we
(29:35):
have that page? Then here you go. All right, let's
go to the King of Kurds in the Great State
of Wisconsin. Hello King of Kurds.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Man, beautiful verhemos of aim being.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Hello King. If I was any better, i'd be a curd.
But I'm not, and there aren't. There's like ripoff cheese curds,
but they're not authentic Wisconsin cheese curds, cheap ripoff versions.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Not at all. Yeah, I don't even know where to start.
I haven't called in a while, but I do love this.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Just take it, take it slow. This is a practice.
Rep take it slow.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I know you love list radio, but I was trying
to think of the rushmore of Ben Mallard colors, and
I want to add a fift because it's so hard
to just keep it at four.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, what's well, I don't know where you're going with.
I would do big board big boards allowed. We don't
do lists, but I could do a big board you
want to do a big board.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Well, I feel like Genie and Medford and Doc Mike
gotta be on there.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah. We don't hear from Doc much anymore. He's still alive,
but he's not up late or early or whatever, so
you don't.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Hear from yea. So this is like something that's all
time great. Yeah, and I think it's pretty easy to
come up with the four.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Really.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I gotta fight.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I feel like this, all right, hold on, who's your
Your top two are genies clearly on there. I would
agree with Doc Mike. Doc has done some crazy bits
on the show, the whole stuff in Chicago, putting the
goat head around, getting national publicity, showing up the road
shows and just when he puld up and he had
(31:24):
an autographed table at the thing in Minnesota which was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
But yes, a hodgepo to me because I feel like
Sear the hood guy deserves some recognition.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
He's on the Mount Rushmore. And this is my take,
And it was going to be.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Controversial, controversial take coming down the pike here, controversial take.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Yes, Yes, so I think that the two that you
named are obvious ones. I think you have to put
cowboy on the Mount Rushmore Cowboy. John Brady's been there
since the beginning.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
For longevity, but that's like a lifetime achievement award, like
a don But he.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Has he hasn't even like you know, he hasn't do
I mean there's been there's been lulls, but you know,
he comes with it, and he doesn't only do his bit.
He participates inside the bite sometimes, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Every once in a while, but usually just to get
goofy names right.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Is a fight. It might be a verbal octagon, but
between Marcell and Blair just because they are let's let's.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Be real, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get slacked for this.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
You know what's it? It's blind Scott.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Scott.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, but bl blind Scott crosses generations. Like these callers
usually they only last for a little bit of time
and they move on to something else. So like Blind
Scott for longevity was definitely got to be in there.
I mean, I've blind Scott's changed a lot over the years,
and he's very loyal to the show and he's still remains.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
But there definitely been times where his calls were premium.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
You know, they were must listen. I gotta tell you
just for me personally. Pete and Pittsburgh, who hasn't called
in years, is retired as a caller. Uh, who's that
beer drink? Beer drinking? Brian's great, but if you see
the problem with beer drinking, you got to have your
own wing, a big, big board of like the drunks,
(33:18):
like beer ban there's beer drinking, Brian will But how
about Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay. A lot of people
don't even know who that is anymore. He's been gone
for a long time. Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay, one
of the all time great callers at talk radio. Jimmy
Right from Tampa Bay.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Bill, Angry Bill. I know you're not a big proponent
of him, but Bill, like there you go there.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Well, if you want to go like angry old white guy,
angry Bills at the very top, mark the full name guy,
you got to put him on there, Mark very angry.
We would have like you would. And again this is
not a list if Terry in England's list, but you
could just do a big board of people that have
sent me death threats. Blind Scott's on there, the full
(34:07):
name guy, He's on there. You know down the big board.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
So, but I haven't called him in a while, and
I wanted to let you know that I do cook
at a bar and grill nearby in Wisconsin, and I
do cook cheese curds.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Oh nice, that is my guilty pleasure.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
I do love Coop. I give him a lot of flag.
I kinda we have potato scoops, so I want to
do the coops scoops O let him and let him
add the toppings. But then I also want you to
have a chicken tender.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Okay, I mean I do love potato, all right, I
mean send me, send me an email. We'll cover names.
We'll come up with something good there. What part of
Wisconsin are you in.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
By the way, I'm in Baby Milwaukee area.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
And Baby Milwaukee. Okay, all right, Well, I don't know
if you heard, though it was it was it Sleazy
Cheese called in last week and said he wants to
send us all to Milwaukee to do a meet and
greet thing.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Ude, I told you I got a couple locals. We've
done the mallar militia subtle meet and greets after hours.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, no, we non sanctioned. These are unofficial, those are
illegal you're violating the city code, but we will. We
would love to do that, and hopefully we'll put that
on that Now. The key is I always say we
want something named after us, but it's got to be
on the menu, the actual physical menu. Otherwise we don't
count that. So you know it will be okay, all right,
send me, send me, send me an email Ben Maller
(35:41):
Show at gmail dot com, and we'll work out the
names and all that. That'd be cool. I guarantee you
my I'm forced my brother to drive down from Appleton,
and if he doesn't, I'll kick his ass. Next time
I see him. He will have to drive down and
eat the food, and then I'll, of course I have
to visit him. I think as a brother, I have
to visit him every couple of years at least. So
I have to go to Wiscon and into rotation because
he doesn't leave the state of wiscons He's like Dick
(36:03):
and Dayton doesn't leave Ohio. My brother does not leave
the state of Wisconsin. So anyway, it is the Ben
Mahler Show. Quickly, quickly, we have mallardly third degree. Here
is the Insta Trivia Former Giants allenfielder Mike Gystremsky that's
quickly famous name, hit his third leadoff home run in
his fifteenth game played with the Royals. Blank is the
(36:23):
only player in the modern era to hit three leadoff
home runs in fewer career games with any team than
Mike Gistremsky. That's the question, the answer next.

right after the end of the show. All right, time
now for the Insta trivia. Former Giants outfielder Mike Yastremsky
hit his third leadoff home run in just his fifteenth
game played with the Royals. He was traded at the
deadline this season. Blank is the only player in the
modern era since nineteen oh one to hit three leadoff
(37:27):
home runs in fewer career games with any team. That
is the question, what's the answer? And Basketball Jones Guess
by Donkey Sausage Sammy Sosa from Andy and Lino Lakes.
Who else do we have? Benny the Bomper guest by
Malaprop Guy courtesy of course of Jay Scoop. Who else
do we have? Rafael for call from the Sawman see
(37:48):
idiot blind Scott from Mike from New Hampshire. Ian Kinsler
guess by Ecan Roseville, Minnesota, Alan Wiggins from DJ Spinner.
Buddy in San Diego Byron Buxton from FEMI What say you, Laraida?
Stephen King all right, the proud resident of Maine. No,
that is incorrect. It's the greatest of all time for
leadolf hitters, the great Ricky Henderson with the Seattle Mariners,
(38:12):
who did it in seven games for the Mariners. Rest
in piece, Ricky, here we go. It's maller. How about
that the third?
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, this is one big gets quilled.
Speaker 6 (38:26):
So the Bills got beat up thirty eight to nothing
by the Bears in a preseason matchup on Sunday, and
though it means nothing, one of my closest friends, a
Bills fan, is convinced that the entire AFC East is
going to take a step forward while the Bills are
going to take a step backwards.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
He's a pessimist. Ben, do you agree with.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Any of that.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
I would not base any decisions based on an exhibition
game and the I watched some of that game. It
was on national television for some reason, and the Buffalo
Bills had the chronic case of id GAF. If you
know what I mean, I don't give an f and
so I know, like, I think the Bills will be
good in the regular season, the Jets will be mediocre,
the Dolphins will get worse. I think the Patriots will
(39:05):
be better. So I think that's how the AFC East
is going to go. And they're not gonna fall off
the map there in Buffalo, although if they have that attitude,
if they come out flasted like that, sure, Next.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Speaking of that thirty eight and win by the Bears,
I got a lot of people excited about the Ben
Johnson Caleb Williams pairing.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
You're Gene in Chicago, so excited.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Yeah, After Williams had a few quote big time throws.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
G managers also fired up. Is this year's Poe?
Speaker 6 (39:31):
Is this year gonna look better for the former Trojan?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Well don't. I don't buy the Bears. I'm not on
board with the Bears. I'm not like he had good
numbers other than the sack thing last year. I think
the Bears will be a mediocre team. I think they'll
be about where they were when they had Mitch Trubisky,
where you're in that nine eight, nine, ten win area
where you're kind of a fringe contender for the playoffs,
(39:55):
but you're not really next.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
So the Bengals aren't the only ones listening to trade offers,
as it was reported that the Commanders are shopping. They're
starting running back Brian Robinson junior Benjon Commander's fans start
to worry about the developments in DC.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
No, they should be I'm okay with this, Like the
running back thing is a replaceable position, coop. Brian Robinson's
in the last year, coming up on the last year
of his contract, so they want to get rid of
him now and they just keep it's evolving though he's
not a game changing running back. I get it.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
How did we do?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
They win?
Speaker 5 (40:22):
I got Oh my god, I want kirk dog.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
I won
