Boom, shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb bird to our number two is ready
for you, And we start out in Chicago some high
drama as the former number one pick in the NFL
Draft commenting on various reports that he doesn't want to
play for the Bears he wanted to play for the
Minnesota Vikings. What stood out about the commentary by Bears
(00:24):
quarterback Caleb Williams on wanting to play for the Vikings.
Caleb willbas also downplaying the chatter about his father wanting
a Bear's ownership stake or circumventing the draft altogether, saying
they were all thoughts, they were all ideas. What is
your perspective on this? And wide receiver Jaden Green in
(00:45):
Green Bay says people miss interpreted, misinterpreted the rumor that
he was assured of being the Packers' top wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Does that make sense? We'll discuss that as well.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is our number two. They don't call it the Windy
City for nothing. Welcome. In the beginning of.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
We are in the air everywhere like workmates, as we
access arise your audio experience coast to coast, Border the
Border and beyond on.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
The Beast had brashly powerful microphones of FSR amminating live
from the choote as we parachute in to your world
and you evesdrop into our world from the Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by James the Pool Guy. He says,
(01:49):
oh yeah, He says, oh yeah, and Van the one
Legged Bama Man also a fan. This portion of the
Ben Malord Show made possible by Express and Ployment Professionals.
Ready for a new job, Let Express Employment professionals help.
While Express can help people in all industries find work,
our sweet spot is logistics roles and Express never charges
(02:12):
job seekers a fee. Go to expresspros dot com. So
our lead this hour is from Chicago. We have some
great audio we're going to play here in a minute,
but a follow up, follow up to the follow up,
I said, follow up to the follow up as we
blatantly suck up to Yafimi and the other listeners in Chicago.
So remember the viral story. We talked about it several
(02:34):
times in previous episodes of the show. The Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams, who was the number one overall pick in
the number back in twenty twenty four. So Caleb Williams,
it's pretty clear he wanted to play for the vit
He had a crush on Kevin O'Connell. They had a
(02:54):
combine interview and he had puppy dog guys for Kevin O'Connell. Now,
his father, that's the father of Cala Williams, spilled the
ta spilled it in Seth Wickersham's book, It's an investigative
sports journalist. So Kayla wills dad just spill his guts
(03:15):
out right, spill his guts out. Said that Williams began
to dream of what it would be like to play.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
For the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Now his dad was also at the same time plotting
to get an ownership stake in an NFL team for
his kid. No joke, all right, So the Bears new
Golden Boy finally commented on all of the crap that's
been flying around. I keep in mind, Kayler Williams hid
from the media for several days, chose to not answer questions.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
He had skipped out on it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The whole story about asking for ownership and his love
of the Minnesota type Minnesotankans. If you didn't hear what
he had to say. Possibly not, Perhaps Caleb was we're
gonna plut some audios.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's a long clip.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I normally don't play long clips, but it's so cringe
I want to play the whole clip that we have.
So Caleb Williams addressing the Viking in the room, if
you will, his love of the purple people eaters, the
Komodo dragon in Minnesota, and we have the audio.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Again, it's a long clip.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
However, you gotta listen closely and try to take some
notes as you're listening here if you could.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I know you're likely doing something, maybe you're driving or whatever, but.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Try to turn up the audio a little bit and
just listen cause you're gonna have to count along here.
But here's Caleb Williams answering questions about what happened before
that draft.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Take a list all that went down, all that was said.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, I had a good visit at the other place
Minnesota with Ken O'Connell, good staff and all of that. Obviously,
he just won Coach of the Year award and things
like that, so obviously good staff and things like that.
But something that keeps getting lost, something that keeps getting
(05:06):
I think not being addressed the way it needs to
be is the fact that you know, I went on
that visit, first came here, and then after I came
here it was a it was a I went back home,
talked to my dad and you know, uh, all of
the things that we're supposed to be, these big things
(05:27):
that everybody's been talking about recently, one never happened in
the sense of they were all thoughts, they were all ideas.
And I think if you're in the situation, I think
if your son or or or or daughter, anybody is
in the situation to be in that position, I think
you think about all of the options, and you know,
and and and you look at the history and the
(05:47):
facts and all these different things, and you know, those
are thoughts that they go throughout your head in no situations,
So you know, all of those are thoughts. And then
after I came to my visit here, it was a
it was a deliberate and answer, and deliberate and determined
answer that I had that I wanted to come here.
And just like Ben spoke about.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Okay, I kept going on on and on and on
and on.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
All right, So the plan, as you heard there, there
were several things that stood out, But well, I guess
why don't we break it down like this, We'll discuss
what we just heard.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's Caleb Williams. So what did stand out to you?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What stood out to you that sound bite rather lengthy
of the Bears quarterback Kayler Williams, his comments about wanting
to play for the Vikings and the whole ownership state
thing and all that. So I'll go first because I've
got the mic, so my observations, I've got the Federal
Bureau of Investigations boundaries and dating game, and we will
(06:50):
put all of these things together and we're gonna make
some deep dish pizza and if you don't want that,
we'll give you an Italian beef sandwich. And then for dessert,
we're gonna have that shaved ice, and if you don't
want that, we'll have the brownies, which I think were
invented in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The brownie.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All right, so number wa, I said number But this
was this was a hot mess. This that was my
first thought. I jotted that down on my notes app
on my flaw. That's a hot mess. That was poorly done.
They had a lot of time, they knew it was coming.
They knew this line of questioning was coming, and it
(07:29):
appeared that Caleb Williams had done no prep, that he
was coerced into doing it. And we we played the
audio because it was so bad it was good.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The audio was so bad it was good.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Caleb stumbling and bumbling as he tried to articulate he's
really well spoken.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Unless he's not. That's that's the red flag. Now. One
of the things, one of the things.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You look for in audio content is roadside bombs.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
We call them. They're ums and us ums and us
our problem.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So that sound bite we wrote down eighty five seconds,
one minute, twenty five seconds, was the sound bite Caleb Williams,
the face of the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Said um or ah? How many times better?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yet, what percentage of that was um and AWE survey
says thirty two point nine percent of that sound bite
was Caleb Williams saying um or ah, Oh great? Is
(08:44):
that that's the face of the Chicago Bears twenty eight
times in eighty five seconds Caleb Williams said um or uh.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And those are conversation managers.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
That is a sign when you say and awe, you're
announcing you're having trouble communicating every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's fine. We all say it every once in a while.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
However, in a one minute, twenty five second sound clip,
when you say it, thirty two point nine percent of
the time, we got a problem. We have a problem.
The word um and awe is where you put something
while you're trying to find what you really want to say,
trying to remember a talking point memo that you were
(09:29):
told to repeat, a piece of information that you're supposed
to pair it to the media, which leads us to
the Federal Bureau of Investigations, a book that I have
referenced many times over the years, how to Spot Lies
like the FBI. It's a book that tells you about
body language clues.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You can't see what we played because it's audio only. However,
it is available cayleb Williams. His eyes were darting back
and forth.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That is a sign dead.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Give what It is a sign when your eyes are
going back and forth that you feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Uncomfortable? Could it be because you're lying?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Also, there was a little bit of face touching there,
a little bit of an itch type situation. That's normally,
what happens when you're not telling the truth if you
look up to the right.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Caleb Williams did look up to the right.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Right handed people usually look up to the right when
they're inventing an answer. And then these are all the
dead giveaways that he was playing fast and loose with
the truth.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
But wait, there's war.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
So in that rather long sound by Caleb Williams downplayed
the chatter that his father wanted to get a.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Bear's ownership stake.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
He essentially dismissed it, saying that anyone who's drafted would
like to own part of an NFL team, circumventing the
NFL draft, which was on.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The table all together.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Cayla Williams's response was, they were all thoughts, they were
all ideas.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Both quote, what is your perspective on Caleb Williams downplaying
the idea that what happened was just thoughts and ideas
and there's nothing here. The new again Golden Boy of
the Chicago Bears, the Great Messiah, the Great Savior, finally
commenting on all of this stuff, and that's what he said,
(11:30):
the timeless words of an old radio man back in
the day. Everything begins with an idea. Everything good and
bad an idea. Somebody had an idea. Whatever you think's
cool started with an idea. If you're into AI, hey,
people like it. It started with an idea, if you
(11:51):
enjoy a good nuclear bomb, That was an idea.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
This was a calculated media push. It was not well done.
It was sloppy.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But I'm talking about prior to the draft, when they
were working and trying to get Caleb Williams to get
an ownership stake. They wanted to test the boundaries and
see how far the Caleb Williams hype train could take them.
These were not just random.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Thoughts in the shower while you're putting shampool on your head.
This was serious noise.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Prior to the draft, people were saying that he was
gonna pull an e Li Manning, Elijah the Punk, and even.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Worse, just forget the draft altogether.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Again, testing boundaries, testing boundaries, we.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Become what we think. We become what we think.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Every one of us, you, me, everyone, We are the
sum total of our thoughts. So Caleb Williams dad contacted
some lawyers, gave them a couple of bucks, and they
determined after reading the contract the union contract between the
players and the NFL that they could not could.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Not get a piece of the team. You see, the
problem is you can't.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Own part of a team while you're playing for the team.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
It's not how the NFL works.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Classic case of the modern star athlete who's had their
toes licked going back to high school thinking they are
a corporation before they have done anything. It is a
failure as an NFL quarterback. The one accomplishment that he
has is the king of all sacks. So congratulations for
the modern times. All right, Final point to Green Bay
(13:42):
the frozen Tundra. The draft which was held way back
a month ago, shortly after the Packers selected Matthew Golden.
It's a great name, it's a solid name. Wide receiver,
Matthew Golden out of Texas with the number two, twenty
two pick in the very first round of the draft,
(14:02):
which does not happen.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
The Packers do not normally do this. So Jaden Reid,
who's also a wide receiver, he's been around for a
couple of years.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, reached out to the chiefs head
Brass and said, we got to talk. We have to
have a conversation. We need to know a status update.
We need a status update now that you've drafted not
only Matthew Golden, but they took another receiver relatively high.
(14:32):
So he was asked about this his status, and he said, quote,
a lot of people were talking about Jayden Reid. He
said a lot of people misinterpreted that he claimed at OTAs.
So Jordan Reid says, people misinterpreted the rumor that his
agent contacted the packers and he was assured of being
the wide receiver number one? So does any of that
(14:57):
make sense? Does any of that make sense? So this
is a trip to the fund zone, is what is?
Hop on the merry go round, go round, and round
and round, Hop on the Merry go round. He knows
this is a bad look. Every man, woman and child
knows this is a bad look. Even our friend in
Dallas with all our cats, the cats, even though this
(15:18):
is a battle. Why it's unbecoming if you need someone
to tell you that you're a wide receiver one. Spoiler alert,
you're not a wide receiver one. It's kind of like
the dating game. If you're out dating and you have
to ask where you stand in a relationship, you're not
(15:39):
that important.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You're likely going to get ghosted, or maybe you've already
been ghosted.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
See you think justin Jefferson in Minnesota has to contact
the Viking Brass and say, am I the number one receiver?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Am I still the number one option? Is a rhetorical question. Obviously,
Green Bay has not had a true hop.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Receiver since they said bye bye to Devonte Adams and
traded his ass to the Raiders so he could be
a bust in Vegas and now he's on the Rams.
But Jaden Reid, who has led the Packers in receiving
yards each of the past two seasons, and yet they
still decided.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
They had to get other people.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
They had to use a first round pick to fill
that hole, which tells you everything you need to know.
Follow the breadcrumbs, follow the draft picks. If you were
very happy with what you had, you wouldn't have gone
out and added another player at that position. That's just
how this works. That's a simple equation on how this
(16:43):
all breaks down. It is the Ben Malor Show as
we are working our way through the overnight. If you'd
like to be part of this on a big Mallard
meet and greet day.

(20:02):
likely the last night, Thursday Night of Inside the NBA.
That show is going to be destroyed by ESPN, but
we'll enjoy it while at lasts one more episode and
then Mickey Mouse will get his hands on it and
it'll be a disaster.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
We hope we're wrong on that. We don't think we are.
That'll be coming up.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
A firm dog writes in from Sokal. He says, I
had to pause my video game to pay attention to
the long clip and the monologue, but it was worth
I wouldn't trust a thing, Caleb says, unless I'm asking
him what color to paint my fingernails.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh, he knows all about that. All about that.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Perto says, a plus on the Mallard monologue, But what
do you expect Caleb's head coach mentor was a sleeze ball.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh sorry, no balls.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Lincoln Riley here yo, he says, opens his mouth and
bull Shoy blows out.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's what he claims. There. What else do we have?
Page down? We can't read that chip and the queues
says a plus on the Malay monologue.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Fun fact Bertha Palmer invented the brownie in eighteen ninety
three at the.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Palmer House in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I thought it was it like the World's Fair or
something like that, but I guess you're probably right the
Palmer House in Chicago. I've been to Chicago many times.
I've not been to the Palmer House. I'm guessing they
charge a fortune because it's where the brownie was invented.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
And oh my god, a lot of money spent.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
You can send us a message at Ben mallor that's
at Ben malor.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
If you'd like to be part. We'll take some calls
and to the phones we go, and eenie, meenie, miney mo.
Who do we have here?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Let's say hello to Steve in Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Hello Steve, ben distinguished town, expanding audience, everybody else together
and now welcome to igaw. I mean Williams only added
it was buy them a few shares from the green
Bay package. It's publicly traded. They get a game a
few ships and say, hey, look, you own the green
Bay package. And I really missed this show, and I
(22:13):
want to let you know, somebody, where have you?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Where have you been? We were here every night we've
done the show.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You I think you pop into the show and then
you vanished for like a month or two and then
you come back to the Show's very odd.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
That's not odd, just that you know, being I might
used to be on a hole for like four hours,
but for your show, I could listen to the show.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And you're not on a hole for four hours.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
But not tonight. It was this morning. The thing is,
somebody asked me, A couple of people ask me give
me the three really best radio shows out there now.
I guess they felt that I could be able to
answer that question. I told them Ben Malla, Joe Beningo
and how we call and Cause like a political show,
but you and Joe or sports shows. I think you
(22:57):
guys are two best. And with Caitlin Clark, all Caitlyn
Clark has got to do. If I was like, you know,
advise all she has to do is turn into Bobby Clark.
That's all she has to do. And I guarantee this
audience how problems will be over by the first half. Okay,
And people don't know who Bobby Clarke is. He was
(23:19):
one of the yeah, one of the top flyers.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
He was.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
He was a top guy. But he was a very
good player, a very good offensive player and defensive player.
And he was a rough guy on the on the items.
And that's all she's got to do, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, I think she's doing.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
She's doing okay, though they're making money hand over fast.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
She's not playing for like the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
But it'll help her out because no one's going to
watch these w NBA games because nobody gives a crap
about the w NBA.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
They only care about Kaitlyn Clark. So she doesn't have
to worry about.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Losing her Her star stature is going to get higher
and higher, as you know, Steven Manhattan, because they'll show
the ratings and no one will be watching, and they'll say, well,
then she's gonna come back, and then people are gonna
start watching.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
There you go, It's it's what happened.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Nobody watches the games. Nobody goes to the games and
they and they still get like TV contract. I mean,
we know, subsidized by the NBA. I clients to call
it like an affirmative action program, you know, for women's basketball.
And listen if you if you have a sport like
that where people started getting interested into it because of
(24:26):
one particular player being Caitlin Clark. And then we're putting
the audience to sleep told about the w n B
A two days. We won't talk about w n B
A and soccer on these sports shows. But the thing is,
you start throwing her around like a rag doll. I mean,
I almost came close to watching the game and I said,
not forget it. Come on, she's getting mugged. What happened
(24:47):
to her happened to anybody on the streets in New
York City. She's basically getting bugged in the court and
people are making excuses for it. It turns off a
lot of people.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You know, all right, you're very dramatic. You know that
you're very dramatic, very dramatic.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I'm being truthful about what's taking place there. You know,
you know, you know, this is like the they used
to be fighting football leagues they used to have. Every
decade they used to start up a new league and stuff,
and nobody would watch. They have no money and they'd
run out of money. But they never had nothing like
this where they had to play. Where you would bring
it an interest, people get interested in it. But some
(25:25):
clown paid four hundred million to be a part owner
of the Liberty who I wouldn't give them two bucks
to be a tea but four hundred million. Listen, the
owner of our teams has made just made out of
like a bandit on that and for sure, for sure?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
How many other shows are you calling tonight?
Speaker 6 (25:45):
I didn't call these shows tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Off today losing your fastball? What's going on with you?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
No, I'm not losing my fastball. Listen, I caught your show.
I get on the show. These other shows, don't let
me on. I have an old saying to people call
talk radio when the caller and this hasn't happened with
your show, but the other shows, when the caller becomes
more popular than the host, you could say bye bye
the show. You ain't yetting on that show anymore. You know,
(26:15):

you're moving into?
Speaker 8 (28:33):
I know too, it's probably it's probably renovated, so like they're.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
All, they're all renovated. No one's living in a house
in the eighteen eighties. But how old is it?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
No?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
This is a castle in front of my house. There's
a flirtation.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It's a simple question. When you buy a house and
tell you how old the house is, when the house
was oh.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
It's house, I'm going to give a shout out to
my wheels are debby.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Nobody you're doing No one asked you to do that.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
You don't need to do that. There's no need to
do that.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Nobody wants to know it. I mean then they're not listening.
They don't know who, they don't know you're doing this.
Speaker 8 (29:08):

thousand bucks from yesterday.

No, it's a half a mile down from my old Okay,

Fine, you made three hundred grand moving half a mile.
Who wouldn't do that? You get to go to the
same restaurant, it's the same grocery store. All that man?
Who do that?
Speaker 8 (29:37):
It's part of Saxonville is Saxonville, and it's historic. I

they're so good. This is why you tune in this
is called in talk radio at its finest.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Let's say hello to is it? Leonis? Is am? I
saying that right from Leonitis? It is Leonitas is next,
Hello Leonitis? Are you in North Dakota? Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Look at that. Leonitas is here to make his debut.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Oh about a pitched off at Minnesota Sports. As I
am at the casino right now, how.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Much did you lose at the casino?
Speaker 9 (30:58):
I mean, if you're going on just today, a couple
hundred bucks?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
And what games do you play at the casino?
Speaker 9 (31:06):
You know, you know, the stupid fun ones, the penny slots,
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, you do realize that the casino makes the most
money every casino.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I see these numbers again, them from Vegas.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
They make the most money off the penny slots, more
than all the other games in the hotel penny slots.
So why don't you play the games?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
They don't make a lot of money yet, Like.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I'm not really good at it, but like if you
know some of the table games you can do.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Okay, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
You're right. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 9 (31:42):
But it's easy, it's easy to it's you's the place
to go.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, you're pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
When you go to a casino that you're gonna walk
out with less money than you came in with.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That's like, that's the whole thing if we all know that.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So anyway, you're you want to complain and you're upset,
you're in a bad mood. You lost a couple hundred.
You're a Minnesota sports fan. The Timberwolves are gutless. They
went out there, they had no fight, They rolled over,
got in the fetal position. They made three baskets in
the first quarter. I believe it was. They were down
seventeen points at the end of the first quarter. Seventeen
(32:16):
points at the end of the first quarter, shot fifteen
percent in the first quarter.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
The game was over. It was over.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Yeah, they were still crying about the last game they lost.
The superstars didn't show up or the one superstar. I guess,
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
Man.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
We have two World Series the last years Minnesota sports.
We have no other legior championships, and the two World
Series we barely won.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, but at least you got the juicy Lucy, so
you got that going for you. So you got that,
and they don't have that elsewhere. So you have great
burgers and so the team sucked, but at least you
can enjoy a good burger, and that's important.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I got it all right, Yeah, yeah, you agree with me.
It's my hot take of the night, right there. Hot
take of the night.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
You only get that here.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
No one else has unless they do, unless they absolutely
have that one thousand percent. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says
the Malor Meet and Greet at the court Side in
Vancouver will be fabulous with the three American.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Schmucks mingling and in bibing with the Canucks.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
He says, I hear the Canadian bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
There is very tasty.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Eke is a seasoned veteran of the Malor Meet and greets.
We met Eke at the Mermaid in Minnesota on the
great events we've done, and that was a lot of fun.
Had the name on the jumbo tron, my name was
on the jumpers.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
That was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I got a speeding ticket on my way to that event.
I will not get a speeding ticket because I'm not
driving in Vancouver, so I will not get a speeding ticket.
The car service I take will likely get a speeding ticket.
But that is a nice message from our buddy Eke
in Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
So the Cheetah breakdown, we'll get push that back because
I don't want to let that breathe of it, So
we won't get to that right now, but we'll get
to that a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Also the candid camera story time now though, for the
Insta trivia, and then we'll get to Mallard of the
third degree. Here's the Insta trivia.

Cubs outfielder Pete crow Armstrong, a revelation of cub nation.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Mister Cubb, they loved him.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
I was watching a little bit of that Cub Rocky
game because that basketball game sucks so much.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I flipped over to some baseball and Pete crow Armstrong
had a home run.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
He became the first player since Blank to have fifteen
or more home runs fifteen or more stolen bases in
a team's first fifty six games of the season. Again,

How do we have alf the Alien?
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Opiner says the Penny's uncle, Reid Nichols. Is Reid Nichols
being decommissioned by the US government like the penny.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Danny Bergers from Andy in lion O Lakes, Minnesota. Very funny,
Arambi from King Rory legend We're always, always ever a legend.
Mike Bigfoot Marshall guessed by Donkey Sausage, that's his answer.
And we have old school baseball player Van Kurverer from
(36:59):
Mason in Hunting Bees. That's the fattest baseball player of
all time from the eighteen hundreds. Doug the Rooster Raider
from Mister Irrigation noticed the tobacco wad bulging. Yeah, Doug
Raider also managed the old California Angels back in the day.
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, going with Ken Griffy Jr.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
As his answer.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Late Night Drug Tester says New NBC broadcaster Carmelo Anthony
was forty one today.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Rubarb the reindeer infamous Tacoma Rainiers mascot is the answer.
Jason got it right, obviously cheating Earl Anthony Bowling legend
from JT the Wingman, Newt Rockney from Robin, Minnesota. That's
his answer. Who else do we have? Chip and the
C's got it right.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
He cheated.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Brian went with Ricky Henderson as his selection. Page down,
page down, we'll skip over that one. Mister Luciana went
with Andrew Tait. It is his answer. Mark from Queens said,
Josh Hamilton, all right, Lrader, do you have an answer?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Loraine, Yes, my answer is not for two Ben. Okay,
that is wrong. That is a correctly correct answer.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
The legend that was for a couple of years anyway,
Alfonso Soriano way back in twenty oh, Eric Davis.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Did it, Bobby Bonds and some guy named Ken Williams
back in the twenties. Here we go, that's seventeen twenty.
It's maller. How about that?
Speaker 5 (38:29):
To the third degree, this is when Big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
All right, cool?
Speaker 7 (38:36):
Before Game four between the Knicks and the Pacers, Charles
Barkley said, Hey, ESPN, I love you guys. Don't try
to make Anthony Edwards the face of the NBA. He
went on to say that the face of the NBA
is a SGA, Nikola, Jokicic and Jannis and Tetokumpo Ben.
Who do you think is the face of the NBA,
or or does one even exist?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
It's still Steph Curry and Lebron James until they retire.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
That's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
And the problem with SGA is the Q the QR,
the Q rating, and the higher the Q score, the
more highly regarded you are. And he just doesn't have it.
There's not enough of that.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
He said, Well, it's one of these things.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
They have to promote him more. It's just not really working.
He's a good player, is great, but he won the
MVP and all that. He's just to be the face
of the NBA, you got to move the needle, and SGA,
at this point, even in the NBA Finals now does
not move the needle. So it's still Lebron and it's
still Steph Cray.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Next.
Speaker 7 (39:37):
Chris Paul is now forty years old, just completed his
twentieth season in the NBA. He's also an unrestricted free
agent and not expected to return to San Antonio. But
do you think they're still demand for CP three.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
He's no longer America's sweetheart. But he will get a job.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
He's the dramatic the history of I don't know why
he wants to keep playing. He's made enough money, but
he's I guess he's got nothing else to do. Yeah,
he'll find a job, but it's not going to be
on a glamour He'll be.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
A backup to the backup.
Speaker 7 (40:00):
Next and Otani leads baseball with home runs, and he's
led the AL and he's led the NL, but he's
never led baseball. You're gonna put your money on him
to lead MLB in home runs?
Speaker 2 (40:11):
No, Aaron Judge is gonna lead baseball and home runs,
not Otani.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
And that's just the way it is. But if they
won the World Series, all that matters. How do we
do pass this edition? That is a record on the
bo
Boom, shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb bird to our number two is ready
for you, And we start out in Chicago some high
drama as the former number one pick in the NFL
Draft commenting on various reports that he doesn't want to
play for the Bears he wanted to play for the
Minnesota Vikings. What stood out about the commentary by Bears
(00:24):
quarterback Caleb Williams on wanting to play for the Vikings.
Caleb willbas also downplaying the chatter about his father wanting
a Bear's ownership stake or circumventing the draft altogether, saying
they were all thoughts, they were all ideas. What is
your perspective on this? And wide receiver Jaden Green in
(00:45):
Green Bay says people miss interpreted, misinterpreted the rumor that
he was assured of being the Packers' top wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Does that make sense? We'll discuss that as well.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is our number two. They don't call it the Windy
City for nothing. Welcome. In the beginning of.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
We are in the air everywhere like workmates, as we
access arise your audio experience coast to coast, Border the
Border and beyond on.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
The Beast had brashly powerful microphones of FSR amminating live
from the choote as we parachute in to your world
and you evesdrop into our world from the Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by James the Pool Guy. He says,
(01:49):
oh yeah, He says, oh yeah, and Van the one
Legged Bama Man also a fan. This portion of the
Ben Malord Show made possible by Express and Ployment Professionals.
Ready for a new job, Let Express Employment professionals help.
While Express can help people in all industries find work,
our sweet spot is logistics roles and Express never charges
(02:12):
job seekers a fee. Go to expresspros dot com. So
our lead this hour is from Chicago. We have some
great audio we're going to play here in a minute,
but a follow up, follow up to the follow up,
I said, follow up to the follow up as we
blatantly suck up to Yafimi and the other listeners in Chicago.
So remember the viral story. We talked about it several
(02:34):
times in previous episodes of the show. The Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams, who was the number one overall pick in
the number back in twenty twenty four. So Caleb Williams,
it's pretty clear he wanted to play for the vit
He had a crush on Kevin O'Connell. They had a
(02:54):
combine interview and he had puppy dog guys for Kevin O'Connell. Now,
his father, that's the father of Cala Williams, spilled the
ta spilled it in Seth Wickersham's book, It's an investigative
sports journalist. So Kayla wills dad just spill his guts
(03:15):
out right, spill his guts out. Said that Williams began
to dream of what it would be like to play.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
For the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Now his dad was also at the same time plotting
to get an ownership stake in an NFL team for
his kid. No joke, all right, So the Bears new
Golden Boy finally commented on all of the crap that's
been flying around. I keep in mind, Kayler Williams hid
from the media for several days, chose to not answer questions.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
He had skipped out on it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The whole story about asking for ownership and his love
of the Minnesota type Minnesotankans. If you didn't hear what
he had to say. Possibly not, Perhaps Caleb was we're
gonna plut some audios.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's a long clip.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I normally don't play long clips, but it's so cringe
I want to play the whole clip that we have.
So Caleb Williams addressing the Viking in the room, if
you will, his love of the purple people eaters, the
Komodo dragon in Minnesota, and we have the audio.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Again, it's a long clip.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
However, you gotta listen closely and try to take some
notes as you're listening here if you could.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I know you're likely doing something, maybe you're driving or whatever, but.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Try to turn up the audio a little bit and
just listen cause you're gonna have to count along here.
But here's Caleb Williams answering questions about what happened before
that draft.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Take a list all that went down, all that was said.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, I had a good visit at the other place
Minnesota with Ken O'Connell, good staff and all of that. Obviously,
he just won Coach of the Year award and things
like that, so obviously good staff and things like that.
But something that keeps getting lost, something that keeps getting
(05:06):
I think not being addressed the way it needs to
be is the fact that you know, I went on
that visit, first came here, and then after I came
here it was a it was a I went back home,
talked to my dad and you know, uh, all of
the things that we're supposed to be, these big things
(05:27):
that everybody's been talking about recently, one never happened in
the sense of they were all thoughts, they were all ideas.
And I think if you're in the situation, I think
if your son or or or or daughter, anybody is
in the situation to be in that position, I think
you think about all of the options, and you know,
and and and you look at the history and the
(05:47):
facts and all these different things, and you know, those
are thoughts that they go throughout your head in no situations,
So you know, all of those are thoughts. And then
after I came to my visit here, it was a
it was a deliberate and answer, and deliberate and determined
answer that I had that I wanted to come here.
And just like Ben spoke about.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Okay, I kept going on on and on and on
and on.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
All right, So the plan, as you heard there, there
were several things that stood out, But well, I guess
why don't we break it down like this, We'll discuss
what we just heard.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's Caleb Williams. So what did stand out to you?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What stood out to you that sound bite rather lengthy
of the Bears quarterback Kayler Williams, his comments about wanting
to play for the Vikings and the whole ownership state
thing and all that. So I'll go first because I've
got the mic, so my observations, I've got the Federal
Bureau of Investigations boundaries and dating game, and we will
(06:50):
put all of these things together and we're gonna make
some deep dish pizza and if you don't want that,
we'll give you an Italian beef sandwich. And then for dessert,
we're gonna have that shaved ice, and if you don't
want that, we'll have the brownies, which I think were
invented in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The brownie.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All right, so number wa, I said number But this
was this was a hot mess. This that was my
first thought. I jotted that down on my notes app
on my flaw. That's a hot mess. That was poorly done.
They had a lot of time, they knew it was coming.
They knew this line of questioning was coming, and it
(07:29):
appeared that Caleb Williams had done no prep, that he
was coerced into doing it. And we we played the
audio because it was so bad it was good.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The audio was so bad it was good.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Caleb stumbling and bumbling as he tried to articulate he's
really well spoken.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Unless he's not. That's that's the red flag. Now. One
of the things, one of the things.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You look for in audio content is roadside bombs.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
We call them. They're ums and us ums and us
our problem.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So that sound bite we wrote down eighty five seconds,
one minute, twenty five seconds, was the sound bite Caleb Williams,
the face of the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Said um or ah? How many times better?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yet, what percentage of that was um and AWE survey
says thirty two point nine percent of that sound bite
was Caleb Williams saying um or ah, Oh great? Is
(08:44):
that that's the face of the Chicago Bears twenty eight
times in eighty five seconds Caleb Williams said um or uh.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And those are conversation managers.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
That is a sign when you say and awe, you're
announcing you're having trouble communicating every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's fine. We all say it every once in a while.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
However, in a one minute, twenty five second sound clip,
when you say it, thirty two point nine percent of
the time, we got a problem. We have a problem.
The word um and awe is where you put something
while you're trying to find what you really want to say,
trying to remember a talking point memo that you were
(09:29):
told to repeat, a piece of information that you're supposed
to pair it to the media, which leads us to
the Federal Bureau of Investigations, a book that I have
referenced many times over the years, how to Spot Lies
like the FBI. It's a book that tells you about
body language clues.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You can't see what we played because it's audio only. However,
it is available cayleb Williams. His eyes were darting back
and forth.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That is a sign dead.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Give what It is a sign when your eyes are
going back and forth that you feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Uncomfortable? Could it be because you're lying?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Also, there was a little bit of face touching there,
a little bit of an itch type situation. That's normally,
what happens when you're not telling the truth if you
look up to the right.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Caleb Williams did look up to the right.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Right handed people usually look up to the right when
they're inventing an answer. And then these are all the
dead giveaways that he was playing fast and loose with
the truth.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
But wait, there's war.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
So in that rather long sound by Caleb Williams downplayed
the chatter that his father wanted to get a.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Bear's ownership stake.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
He essentially dismissed it, saying that anyone who's drafted would
like to own part of an NFL team, circumventing the
NFL draft, which was on.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The table all together.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Cayla Williams's response was, they were all thoughts, they were
all ideas.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Both quote, what is your perspective on Caleb Williams downplaying
the idea that what happened was just thoughts and ideas
and there's nothing here. The new again Golden Boy of
the Chicago Bears, the Great Messiah, the Great Savior, finally
commenting on all of this stuff, and that's what he said,
(11:30):
the timeless words of an old radio man back in
the day. Everything begins with an idea. Everything good and
bad an idea. Somebody had an idea. Whatever you think's
cool started with an idea. If you're into AI, hey,
people like it. It started with an idea, if you
(11:51):
enjoy a good nuclear bomb, That was an idea.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
This was a calculated media push. It was not well done.
It was sloppy.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But I'm talking about prior to the draft, when they
were working and trying to get Caleb Williams to get
an ownership stake. They wanted to test the boundaries and
see how far the Caleb Williams hype train could take them.
These were not just random.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Thoughts in the shower while you're putting shampool on your head.
This was serious noise.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Prior to the draft, people were saying that he was
gonna pull an e Li Manning, Elijah the Punk, and even.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Worse, just forget the draft altogether.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Again, testing boundaries, testing boundaries, we.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Become what we think. We become what we think.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Every one of us, you, me, everyone, We are the
sum total of our thoughts. So Caleb Williams dad contacted
some lawyers, gave them a couple of bucks, and they
determined after reading the contract the union contract between the
players and the NFL that they could not could.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Not get a piece of the team. You see, the
problem is you can't.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Own part of a team while you're playing for the team.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
It's not how the NFL works.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Classic case of the modern star athlete who's had their
toes licked going back to high school thinking they are
a corporation before they have done anything. It is a
failure as an NFL quarterback. The one accomplishment that he
has is the king of all sacks. So congratulations for
the modern times. All right, Final point to Green Bay
(13:42):
the frozen Tundra. The draft which was held way back
a month ago, shortly after the Packers selected Matthew Golden.
It's a great name, it's a solid name. Wide receiver,
Matthew Golden out of Texas with the number two, twenty
two pick in the very first round of the draft,
(14:02):
which does not happen.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
The Packers do not normally do this. So Jaden Reid,
who's also a wide receiver, he's been around for a
couple of years.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, reached out to the chiefs head
Brass and said, we got to talk. We have to
have a conversation. We need to know a status update.
We need a status update now that you've drafted not
only Matthew Golden, but they took another receiver relatively high.
(14:32):
So he was asked about this his status, and he said, quote,
a lot of people were talking about Jayden Reid. He
said a lot of people misinterpreted that he claimed at OTAs.
So Jordan Reid says, people misinterpreted the rumor that his
agent contacted the packers and he was assured of being
the wide receiver number one? So does any of that
(14:57):
make sense? Does any of that make sense? So this
is a trip to the fund zone, is what is?
Hop on the merry go round, go round, and round
and round, Hop on the Merry go round. He knows
this is a bad look. Every man, woman and child
knows this is a bad look. Even our friend in
Dallas with all our cats, the cats, even though this
(15:18):
is a battle. Why it's unbecoming if you need someone
to tell you that you're a wide receiver one. Spoiler alert,
you're not a wide receiver one. It's kind of like
the dating game. If you're out dating and you have
to ask where you stand in a relationship, you're not
(15:39):
that important.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You're likely going to get ghosted, or maybe you've already
been ghosted.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
See you think justin Jefferson in Minnesota has to contact
the Viking Brass and say, am I the number one receiver?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Am I still the number one option? Is a rhetorical question. Obviously,
Green Bay has not had a true hop.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Receiver since they said bye bye to Devonte Adams and
traded his ass to the Raiders so he could be
a bust in Vegas and now he's on the Rams.
But Jaden Reid, who has led the Packers in receiving
yards each of the past two seasons, and yet they
still decided.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
They had to get other people.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
They had to use a first round pick to fill
that hole, which tells you everything you need to know.
Follow the breadcrumbs, follow the draft picks. If you were
very happy with what you had, you wouldn't have gone
out and added another player at that position. That's just
how this works. That's a simple equation on how this
(16:43):
all breaks down. It is the Ben Malor Show as
we are working our way through the overnight. If you'd
like to be part of this on a big Mallard
meet and greet day.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Tonight we'll be hanging out in Vancouver. I hope you

likely the last night, Thursday Night of Inside the NBA.
That show is going to be destroyed by ESPN, but
we'll enjoy it while at lasts one more episode and
then Mickey Mouse will get his hands on it and
it'll be a disaster.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
We hope we're wrong on that. We don't think we are.
That'll be coming up.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
A firm dog writes in from Sokal. He says, I
had to pause my video game to pay attention to
the long clip and the monologue, but it was worth
I wouldn't trust a thing, Caleb says, unless I'm asking
him what color to paint my fingernails.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh, he knows all about that. All about that.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Perto says, a plus on the Mallard monologue, But what
do you expect Caleb's head coach mentor was a sleeze ball.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh sorry, no balls.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Lincoln Riley here yo, he says, opens his mouth and
bull Shoy blows out.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's what he claims. There. What else do we have?
Page down? We can't read that chip and the queues
says a plus on the Malay monologue.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Fun fact Bertha Palmer invented the brownie in eighteen ninety
three at the.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Palmer House in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I thought it was it like the World's Fair or
something like that, but I guess you're probably right the
Palmer House in Chicago. I've been to Chicago many times.
I've not been to the Palmer House. I'm guessing they
charge a fortune because it's where the brownie was invented.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
And oh my god, a lot of money spent.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
You can send us a message at Ben mallor that's
at Ben malor.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
If you'd like to be part. We'll take some calls
and to the phones we go, and eenie, meenie, miney mo.
Who do we have here?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Let's say hello to Steve in Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Hello Steve, ben distinguished town, expanding audience, everybody else together
and now welcome to igaw. I mean Williams only added
it was buy them a few shares from the green
Bay package. It's publicly traded. They get a game a
few ships and say, hey, look, you own the green
Bay package. And I really missed this show, and I
(22:13):
want to let you know, somebody, where have you?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Where have you been? We were here every night we've
done the show.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You I think you pop into the show and then
you vanished for like a month or two and then
you come back to the Show's very odd.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
That's not odd, just that you know, being I might
used to be on a hole for like four hours,
but for your show, I could listen to the show.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And you're not on a hole for four hours.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
But not tonight. It was this morning. The thing is,
somebody asked me, A couple of people ask me give
me the three really best radio shows out there now.
I guess they felt that I could be able to
answer that question. I told them Ben Malla, Joe Beningo
and how we call and Cause like a political show,
but you and Joe or sports shows. I think you
(22:57):
guys are two best. And with Caitlin Clark, all Caitlyn
Clark has got to do. If I was like, you know,
advise all she has to do is turn into Bobby Clark.
That's all she has to do. And I guarantee this
audience how problems will be over by the first half. Okay,
And people don't know who Bobby Clarke is. He was
(23:19):
one of the yeah, one of the top flyers.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
He was.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
He was a top guy. But he was a very
good player, a very good offensive player and defensive player.
And he was a rough guy on the on the items.
And that's all she's got to do, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, I think she's doing.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
She's doing okay, though they're making money hand over fast.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
She's not playing for like the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
But it'll help her out because no one's going to
watch these w NBA games because nobody gives a crap
about the w NBA.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
They only care about Kaitlyn Clark. So she doesn't have
to worry about.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Losing her Her star stature is going to get higher
and higher, as you know, Steven Manhattan, because they'll show
the ratings and no one will be watching, and they'll say, well,
then she's gonna come back, and then people are gonna
start watching.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
There you go, It's it's what happened.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Nobody watches the games. Nobody goes to the games and
they and they still get like TV contract. I mean,
we know, subsidized by the NBA. I clients to call
it like an affirmative action program, you know, for women's basketball.
And listen if you if you have a sport like
that where people started getting interested into it because of
(24:26):
one particular player being Caitlin Clark. And then we're putting
the audience to sleep told about the w n B
A two days. We won't talk about w n B
A and soccer on these sports shows. But the thing is,
you start throwing her around like a rag doll. I mean,
I almost came close to watching the game and I said,
not forget it. Come on, she's getting mugged. What happened
(24:47):
to her happened to anybody on the streets in New
York City. She's basically getting bugged in the court and
people are making excuses for it. It turns off a
lot of people.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You know, all right, you're very dramatic. You know that
you're very dramatic, very dramatic.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I'm being truthful about what's taking place there. You know,
you know, you know, this is like the they used
to be fighting football leagues they used to have. Every
decade they used to start up a new league and stuff,
and nobody would watch. They have no money and they'd
run out of money. But they never had nothing like
this where they had to play. Where you would bring
it an interest, people get interested in it. But some
(25:25):
clown paid four hundred million to be a part owner
of the Liberty who I wouldn't give them two bucks
to be a tea but four hundred million. Listen, the
owner of our teams has made just made out of
like a bandit on that and for sure, for sure?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
How many other shows are you calling tonight?
Speaker 6 (25:45):
I didn't call these shows tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Off today losing your fastball? What's going on with you?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
No, I'm not losing my fastball. Listen, I caught your show.
I get on the show. These other shows, don't let
me on. I have an old saying to people call
talk radio when the caller and this hasn't happened with
your show, but the other shows, when the caller becomes
more popular than the host, you could say bye bye
the show. You ain't yetting on that show anymore. You know,
(26:15):
one guy banned me. You know, the calls were calling,
you know, Steve was right about this. He was writing,
you can't say that to an ego maniac host.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Definitely not. Yeah, and that's it.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
I wasn't going to get on the shows and that
radio station. Basically, I call it now that they try
to come up with names from the shows. It's a
disappearing host. You have many different hosts they've had in
the last couple of months.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I have no idea. I have no idea, but I
do have to let you go. Yeah, I thank you,
all right, you've had a lot of times. Steven Manhattan.
He's back for a limited time only. Steven Manhattan. Do
not get used to him because he'll vanish again, and
then he'll randomly pop up and then vanish. That's how
it works out. Let's go back to the phones. We'll
say hello to Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe. Mike the Leprecha
(27:00):
is moving yet he has time to call the show.
Speaker 1 (27:04):

I was not worried. But you got it. When you
move the rule we all know that year year older
than I. And when you move, you gotta unload some crap.
You gotta unload some crap.
Speaker 8 (27:59):

Oh, I live in a beautiful historical part of Birmingham.
I used to do a paper house here, so.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Okay, question, question, question, How old is the house that
you're moving into?
Speaker 8 (28:33):
I know too, it's probably it's probably renovated, so like they're.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
All, they're all renovated. No one's living in a house
in the eighteen eighties. But how old is it?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
No?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
This is a castle in front of my house. There's
a flirtation.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It's a simple question. When you buy a house and
tell you how old the house is, when the house
was oh.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
It's house, I'm going to give a shout out to
my wheels are debby.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Nobody you're doing No one asked you to do that.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
You don't need to do that. There's no need to
do that.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Nobody wants to know it. I mean then they're not listening.
They don't know who, they don't know you're doing this.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
I know I'm walking away with three hundred and thirty
thousand bucks from yesterday.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
So now you're just bragging. Now you're just bread. Bread.
That's a brag. You're absolutely bragging. That is a brag.
Speaker 2 (29:18):

Speaker 9 (30:46):
Oh about a pitched off at Minnesota Sports. As I
am at the casino right now, how.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Much did you lose at the casino?
Speaker 9 (30:58):
I mean, if you're going on just today, a couple
hundred bucks?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
And what games do you play at the casino?
Speaker 9 (31:06):
You know, you know, the stupid fun ones, the penny slots,
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, you do realize that the casino makes the most
money every casino.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I see these numbers again, them from Vegas.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
They make the most money off the penny slots, more
than all the other games in the hotel penny slots.
So why don't you play the games?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
They don't make a lot of money yet, Like.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I'm not really good at it, but like if you
know some of the table games you can do.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Okay, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
You're right. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 9 (31:42):
But it's easy, it's easy to it's you's the place
to go.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, you're pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
When you go to a casino that you're gonna walk
out with less money than you came in with.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That's like, that's the whole thing if we all know that.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So anyway, you're you want to complain and you're upset,
you're in a bad mood. You lost a couple hundred.
You're a Minnesota sports fan. The Timberwolves are gutless. They
went out there, they had no fight, They rolled over,
got in the fetal position. They made three baskets in
the first quarter. I believe it was. They were down
seventeen points at the end of the first quarter. Seventeen
(32:16):
points at the end of the first quarter, shot fifteen
percent in the first quarter.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
The game was over. It was over.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Yeah, they were still crying about the last game they lost.
The superstars didn't show up or the one superstar. I guess,
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
Man.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
We have two World Series the last years Minnesota sports.
We have no other legior championships, and the two World
Series we barely won.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, but at least you got the juicy Lucy, so
you got that going for you. So you got that,
and they don't have that elsewhere. So you have great
burgers and so the team sucked, but at least you
can enjoy a good burger, and that's important.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I got it all right, Yeah, yeah, you agree with me.
It's my hot take of the night, right there. Hot
take of the night.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
You only get that here.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
No one else has unless they do, unless they absolutely
have that one thousand percent. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says
the Malor Meet and Greet at the court Side in
Vancouver will be fabulous with the three American.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Schmucks mingling and in bibing with the Canucks.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
He says, I hear the Canadian bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
There is very tasty.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Eke is a seasoned veteran of the Malor Meet and greets.
We met Eke at the Mermaid in Minnesota on the
great events we've done, and that was a lot of fun.
Had the name on the jumbo tron, my name was
on the jumpers.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
That was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I got a speeding ticket on my way to that event.
I will not get a speeding ticket because I'm not
driving in Vancouver, so I will not get a speeding ticket.
The car service I take will likely get a speeding ticket.
But that is a nice message from our buddy Eke
in Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
So the Cheetah breakdown, we'll get push that back because
I don't want to let that breathe of it, So
we won't get to that right now, but we'll get
to that a little bit.

Cubs outfielder Pete crow Armstrong, a revelation of cub nation.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Mister Cubb, they loved him.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
I was watching a little bit of that Cub Rocky
game because that basketball game sucks so much.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I flipped over to some baseball and Pete crow Armstrong
had a home run.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
He became the first player since Blank to have fifteen
or more home runs fifteen or more stolen bases in
a team's first fifty six games of the season. Again,
Cubs outfielder Pete crow Armstrong the first player since Blank
to have fifteen or more home runs, fifteen or more
stolen bases in the team's first fifty six games of
a season.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
The random qualifier tossed in to make it a unique answer.
How do we have alf the Alien?
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Opiner says the Penny's uncle, Reid Nichols. Is Reid Nichols
being decommissioned by the US government like the penny.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Danny Bergers from Andy in lion O Lakes, Minnesota. Very funny,
Arambi from King Rory legend We're always, always ever a legend.
Mike Bigfoot Marshall guessed by Donkey Sausage, that's his answer.
And we have old school baseball player Van Kurverer from
(36:59):
Mason in Hunting Bees. That's the fattest baseball player of
all time from the eighteen hundreds. Doug the Rooster Raider
from Mister Irrigation noticed the tobacco wad bulging. Yeah, Doug
Raider also managed the old California Angels back in the day.
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, going with Ken Griffy Jr.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
As his answer.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Late Night Drug Tester says New NBC broadcaster Carmelo Anthony
was forty one today.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Rubarb the reindeer infamous Tacoma Rainiers mascot is the answer.
Jason got it right, obviously cheating Earl Anthony Bowling legend
from JT the Wingman, Newt Rockney from Robin, Minnesota. That's
his answer. Who else do we have? Chip and the
C's got it right.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
He cheated.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Brian went with Ricky Henderson as his selection. Page down,
page down, we'll skip over that one. Mister Luciana went
with Andrew Tait. It is his answer. Mark from Queens said,
Josh Hamilton, all right, Lrader, do you have an answer?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Loraine, Yes, my answer is not for two Ben. Okay,
that is wrong. That is a correctly correct answer.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
The legend that was for a couple of years anyway,
Alfonso Soriano way back in twenty oh, Eric Davis.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Did it, Bobby Bonds and some guy named Ken Williams
back in the twenties. Here we go, that's seventeen twenty.
It's maller. How about that?
Speaker 5 (38:29):
To the third degree, this is when Big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
All right, cool?
Speaker 7 (38:36):
Before Game four between the Knicks and the Pacers, Charles
Barkley said, Hey, ESPN, I love you guys. Don't try
to make Anthony Edwards the face of the NBA. He
went on to say that the face of the NBA
is a SGA, Nikola, Jokicic and Jannis and Tetokumpo Ben.
Who do you think is the face of the NBA,
or or does one even exist?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
It's still Steph Curry and Lebron James until they retire.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
That's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
And the problem with SGA is the Q the QR,
the Q rating, and the higher the Q score, the
more highly regarded you are. And he just doesn't have it.
There's not enough of that.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
He said, Well, it's one of these things.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
They have to promote him more. It's just not really working.
He's a good player, is great, but he won the
MVP and all that. He's just to be the face
of the NBA, you got to move the needle, and SGA,
at this point, even in the NBA Finals now does
not move the needle. So it's still Lebron and it's
still Steph Cray.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Next.
Speaker 7 (39:37):
Chris Paul is now forty years old, just completed his
twentieth season in the NBA. He's also an unrestricted free
agent and not expected to return to San Antonio. But
do you think they're still demand for CP three.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
He's no longer America's sweetheart. But he will get a job.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
He's the dramatic the history of I don't know why
he wants to keep playing. He's made enough money, but
he's I guess he's got nothing else to do. Yeah,
he'll find a job, but it's not going to be
on a glamour He'll be.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
A backup to the backup.
Speaker 7 (40:00):
Next and Otani leads baseball with home runs, and he's
led the AL and he's led the NL, but he's
never led baseball. You're gonna put your money on him
to lead MLB in home runs?
Speaker 2 (40:11):
No, Aaron Judge is gonna lead baseball and home runs,
not Otani.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
And that's just the way it is. But if they
won the World Series, all that matters. How do we
