Speaker 1 (00:00):
Knock, knock, who's there? Our number two. It's our two
of the Ben Malor Show, and we go take a
ride on the horse seat the Colts front office saying
they are not not trading demoted quarterback Anthony Richardson. What
does that signal to you? Also, why you ask with
the Patriots a team wandering the quarterback desert, grabbed Tommy
(00:22):
DeVito off the waiver wire. We'll examine that edition. And
rookie cam Ward being named El Capitan in Tennessee for
the Titans as a rookie is blank to all that
and more. Right now here, it is our number two,
throwing a horseshoe at you. Welcome in the beginning of
(00:48):
another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in
the air everywhere, making life interesting unless we're not. As
we juggle around coast coast, border to border and beyond
on the best and intergalactically powerful microphones of fs are
they say, those radio waves just keep going and going
(01:10):
and going and going out into the cosmos far far away,
emanating live from the theater, the theater of the mind,
and the theater of the absurd, from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Angie and Brian.
Big fans of the show Angie and Brian and this
portion of the program made possible in part by our
(01:31):
friends at ti 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 ti raq dot Com The Way Tire
Buying Showy. So our lead this hour is from in Theannapolis,
(02:01):
a city known for the Indianapolis five hundred and a
lot of basketball. Who's your state? It's about football, It's
about football. Status update on demoted quarterback status update demoted quarterback.
If you've not heard, perhaps not. We had a rubarb
of sorts Colts general manager Chris Ballard, who somehow has
(02:26):
kept his job while wonder if that's going to continue.
Jim Irsay, the late owner of the Colts, very loyal
to Chris Ballard, who's put some really bad football teams together.
So Chris Ballard, the bloviating, blowhard general manager of the
Indianapolis Colts, he said that the team is not going
to trade bust quarterback Anthony Richardson who stinks, but they're
(02:48):
not trading him. Richardson, you might know, was demoted in
favor of another legendary stiff, Daniel Jones, the stumblebum who
failed year after year with the New York Giants in
embarrassing fashion. Ballard was quizzed on the possibility of unloading
the dead weight it is Anthony Richardson, and he responded
(03:11):
by saying, we're not trading him. Okay, we're not trading fine,
all right, so let us discuss the question. The Colt
front office says they are not going to deal away
bench quarterback Anthony Richardson. What does this signal to you?
(03:31):
So I've got spelling, bee, bellagio, and parallel parking, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make delicious cinnamon rolls. Yum yum to my
Tom Tom So number I said, number all right, all right.
(03:59):
So this is a tale well of denial, dysfunction, and
delusion mixed with devotion. A lot of d's, a lot
of DSE denial, dysfunction, delusion, and devotion. It's also some stubbornness.
The Indianapolis colts. Those lovable or should I say unlovable
grid iron gatekeepers there of mediocrity. That's really the job
(04:24):
of Chris Ballard. He is the gatekeeper there of mediocrity.
They're at it again. So let me translate what the
Ballard of the ball said into reality. Here's how I
determined what the GM there the Colts said. He essentially said,
we tried to trade Anthony Richardson. Nobody wanted the guy
(04:44):
because he's covered in fleas and flies, and now we're
stuck holding onto this guy. He's a hot potato. So
this is the NFL's version of trying to sell a
used car that has no engine. That car's gotten engine,
it's got three flat tires, and if you open the
glove box there's a raccoon living in there. You can
(05:06):
slap a fresh coat of paint on it, right, you
can say a slightly used and it still smells like regret.
There's some problems there now the Colts front office. Really,
what they're doing Ballard is like an overnight sports talk
radio caller from years ago. Spin cycle, Regina, Spin, Spin, Spin, Spin,
Spin out of Minnesota. They're not ready to admit they're
(05:29):
in Indy that they drafted a turkey, But they did
draft a Turkey. Now, later on, in this fiery confrontation
between the Colt GM and the media, Ballard claimed that
Richardson would quote be learning behind a professional, is what
he said regarding his status here in twenty twenty five.
(05:50):
Now that is code for we are hiding Anthony Richardson
the quarterback behind another quarterback, Daniel Jones, and hoping that
nobody notices that he also also has bo right, which
made us wonder, made us wonder if the Colts GM
has been hanging out with the Golden Dragon. If you
(06:10):
know what I mean here losing a quarterback battle like
to Daniel Jones. If you're Anthony Richardson and you lost
a quarterback battle to Daniel Jones, it is akin to
losing a spelling bee to a parrot. Okay, you should
never lose a spelling bee to a parrot, and you
should never lose a quarterback competition to Daniel Jones. If
(06:32):
you're a top five draft pick with the team that
drafted you, and the rest of the NFL knows the
culture bluff, they're waiting for the inevitable waiver wire clearance sale.
Why pay full price when you can scoop Richardson up
for free, if you'd even want him. Iired some chatter
(06:53):
that Richardson will have a chance to change positions. He's
that bad. He's that bad as a quarterback. Now, my
counter to that is Richardson gets hurt all the time,
mostly running the ball. So if you're gonna make him
a running back or some kind of tight end or
something like that, wouldn't he just keep getting hurt? So
what's the point?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
All right? Now?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Page two to the waiver wire. As we run the
mouth to the waiver wire, waiver wire, and look over there,
Tommy DeVito has a new home. Do you see this? Yes,
that Tommy Davido. He's got a new home. Tommy DeVito
is headed too the New England football team, the folk
(07:36):
hero quarterback from Jersey, native of New Jersey, claimed off
waivers by the Patsies. And that ends that romantic rom
com with his hometown Giants. So why, you ask, would
the Patriots a team currently wandering the quarterback desert. They
don't know whether Drake May is going to be good
(07:59):
or not, and they have the astronaut as the backup,
So why would they grab Tommy DeVito? It's pretty simple here,
all right. It's kind of like you're you've paid for
the buffet at the Belagio. You're walking down the buffet line.
You see the prime rib is already gone. The herb
(08:21):
crusted chicken with champagne cream sauce is empty. But there
is a little bit of spaghetti and a couple of
meat balls just sitting there. Now do you want that
as your meal? Probably not, you know, not really. However,
you're not just gonna walk away from the buffet empty handy.
(08:44):
You don't want to be hungry, so you take the
plate and that's it. And that's what the patriots are
doing here. It's not really about de Vito being some
kind of savior, you know. This is not the second
coming of Tom Brady. No not, They're going to ride
in there on a white horse. That's not it. It's
more of a pat job, little Duc tape and all that.
(09:05):
So Mike Rabel's patriots. They are the guys who busted
a tire on the on the highway there and they
rolled into the gas station and they said, okay, I
got a new tire. It's gonna cost you this much
as I don't want a new tire, I'm gonna get
one of those cans of the you know that fix
a flat thing. I'll just get that and I'll get
to fix a flat and that's it. That's Tommy Cutlets.
(09:26):
The veto Tommy DeVito is a fun story, right, We
talked about him a lot in the previous episode. I
think we all know the story. We pay attention to
this stuff. Rocky bow bowa right, you know, he's he's
so Italian. He takes a bath in marinera sauce and
but this is desperation, and so the Patriots like, ah,
why not? You know, you imagine when this guy gets
(09:47):
to the Patriots on those nights off, when he's out
there partying at those great Italian restaurants on the North End,
and he'll be the Tommy Cutlets character and say, well,
you're not from around here, but you're Tommy Cutlets, so
come on down all right now, final point, we head
now to Nashville. We go to Nashville where the captains
have arrived. That's right, it's that time of the year.
(10:11):
Expect to hear a lot of this content in the
next couple of days, teams announcing their captains. The first
team up that would be the team in Nashville. I'm
sure Danny and Nashville is very excited about this. Soll
he lives in Miami. Among the seven captains seven, they
named seven captains. Among these seven captains for the worst
(10:31):
team in football, the Titans. They decided that rookie quarterback
cam Ward, the number one over in the twenty twenty
five collegiate draft out of Miami but mostly Washington State,
is a captain. So let's jump off on that. That's
(10:52):
good jumping off point. So let's discuss that particular story.
Rookie quarterback cam being named a team captain for the
Tennessee Titans is blank fill in the blank, all right,
So this is the the word I will use on
(11:13):
this is premature. It is a classic case of premature
coronation syndrome. And this is an example of given, not earn, given, noddern.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I am Benny Brightside. I want cam Ward to be
good because I have a feeling he's going to help
me out, that he's going to do things verbally that
are going to be good for talk radio. But the
only reason, the only way, rather the only way that
really translates, is if he's good. If he's terrible, we'll
just goof on him and he'll go away, and he'll
(11:48):
be working in insurance somewhere in a couple of years.
But Ward has been named the captain of the Tennessee
Titans before he's even learned how to parallel park. There's
no parallel parking yet in the NFL, and he doesn't
know how to parallel park. He hasn't done anything. He
hasn't had a chance to do anything. So my default position,
(12:10):
and this has been my default position on all rookie
quarterbacks since the beginning of time, that in two proven otherwise,
cam Ward and all rookie quarterbacks have more question marks
than the nemesis of Batman the Riddler. Remember the costume
the Riddler would wear. With all the other question marks,
there's a lot of questions. And so I understand what
(12:31):
they're trying to do, and this is not going to
be the only one. You'll see a bunch of other
like what the f was that? How's that guy a captain?
But they're trying to manifest that this man's a leader.
It's like some vision boards, like a vision board that's
taped to the dorm room wall and all that, Like
(12:51):
it's one of those phrases. I'm going to speak this
into existence, they say, and it's going to happen. It's
all all I have to do is speak this into existence.
That's it. And so the Titans acting a little bit
like a Disney movie. If you believe hard enough that
(13:12):
cam Ward will become the leader that we need. Generally speaking,
that's not how it works. That's not how any of
this works. So we can agree to differ on that
particular point. We'll see what happens. And I want to
point out again, I've got to get these monologues in
(13:32):
on these really bad teams, because once the season gets
going here, we'll not be talking about them unless it
gets even worse. They go, how low can you go?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
How low can you go? How far down can you go?
And the suck Avenue? Where do Suck Avenue end? We'll
find out right, crank it up a couple of notches
and just see how far down Suck Avenue you can go.
It is the Ben Mahlor shown Malors show. As we
are just getting started here, it's hour number two. Later
(14:04):
this hour we will have Mallard of the third Degree.
We'll have the Inch to Trivia coming up. A little
bit later as well. We've got Bumpety Bump and the
candid Camera store. I'm gonna get to that right now,
the candid camera story. So, Freddie Freeman is a baseball
player for the Dodgers, kind of a big deal. He's
gonna be in the Hall of Fame someday, and won
(14:25):
a couple of World series, won some big honors individually.
And Freddie Freeman was caught on camera during the Dodger
Reds game back on Wednesday night at Chavez Ravine in
the dugout, and he was very aggressively pulling a nosehair
(14:46):
out of his schnaz and it was caught on camera.
And I don't mean just a little I kind of
grab the thing and then pull it lightly. I mean
a very aggressive snatchy of the nose hair with two fingers.
He had his thumb and then he had his pointer
finger and it he just ripped the hair right out
(15:10):
of his nose. Right now, I think that's supposed to
cause you to tear up a little bit. They moved
the camera away. They moved the camera away. I think
it generally leads you to sneeze, But I don't know
what happened. I'm also told they later on. I didn't
see this, but somebody sent me a text that they
showed Max Munci who was trying to find some gold
(15:31):
up his nostril. There so a very good camera work
at the Dodger game last night. But Freddy Freeman man
that is Hey, you're watching a ball game, it's the
middle innings. You know, you gotta get that annoying hair,
that loose hair in your nose and you just have
to rip it out. And he ripped it out and
(15:51):
it was caught on camera, and of course it went
immediately viral as people were fascinated that he did not
show any kind of pain when he ripped that thing
right out of his schnaz. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
As we continue on straight ahead, we mentioned it bumpity
bumpity bump. We'll get to that and we will do it.

(18:29):
and we have Cooper Loop at a Bronco fan. Bronco fan,
your comments can and will be used against you in
the court of sports radio. And now back to it,
back to where we go. We started here with a
hodgepodge of a Mallard monologue bouncing around the Indianapolis Colts
(18:53):
and their GM Chris Ballard. We're not trailing Anthony Richardson.
You think of a team like the RAM said we'll
trade your first round pick for Anthony Richardson. They would say,
we're not trading Anthony Richardson. Yeah, he'd be on the
first flight out of Indy. He's gone. Tommy DeVito is
now a Patriot for now. I've been hearing from my
(19:13):
boots on the ground in Boston that the past or
not has been sucking. I'm not watching training camp, so
I couldn't tell you whether that's true or not. But
some of my guys there, oh, he's terrible. That's why
they brought him in. Okay, Well, Tommy DeVito sucks also,
and cam Ward captain of your Tennessee Titans. I know
you're very excited about that, very very excited. Mark the
(19:35):
Full Name Guy says that Freddie Freeman's got true grit.
That is me reacting. Why dott as I watch Freddie
Freeman would rip out a nostril here and not even
bat an eyelash. Freddie has already torn out all his eyelashes.
His eyebrows too, are gone. Freddie likes to watch women shave, apparently,
(19:56):
according to Mark the Full Name Guy, see what else
do we have have here? Ferg Dogg says, hey, Ben
can you do me a solid and cut out the
Angel score from Moncey's update? Nobody needs to hear that
all night. Thanks. Yeah. What I'll do ferg Dog is
I'll call Moncy. I'll have her wake up and come
back into the station and re record the update. How
about that? Would that make you happy? Aboso? The district
(20:19):
attorney rights and says, why do the Colts think Anthony
Richardson will improve under Daniel Jones if he did not
improve under Super Bowl winning quarterback Joe Flacco? Well, Joe
Flacco clearly clearly elite, clearly clearly elite without without a doubt,
without a doubt. All right, let's go this is better
(20:39):
than the best. Uh, let's go down to let's go
to a golden ticket and then we'll get to the
other people on Let's go to Felexus, America's favorite drag
queen caller in Buffalo. Hello, Felexus oh Man, Hello, Damn.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Mary Allen, John boy, whoever who cares? Hey, that's Steve Forman,
He's sometime asmall That guy drives me nuts. And they're terrible.
They're looking they're gonna win six games this year. What
do you think about that? Ben? And you think I'm
right or wrong?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Who's going to win six games? I tuned you out
because you were boring me. The Colts win six games? Yeah,
I was just talking about the Colts. No, listen, the
culture in If you look at the Colts division, it
is the outhouse. The two southern divisions, the AFC South
and the NFC South are like a wasteland. Like there's
(21:41):
completely horrific divisions from top to bottom. But the win
total on the Colts this year, if you go by
the gambling odds in Las Wages, Nevada, which is the
Holy Grail as you know, the Colts win total is
seven and a half. I'm the one under seven and
that's that seems pretty high. Seven and a half for
the Colts with Daniel Jones at quarterbacks. So I'm going
(22:03):
under the window now.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
The Colts are like the homeless people of the NFL.
As far as I concur they're no good, just like
like the people down there and check them though they're
no good. Nobody's no good anymore?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Who else? Who else do you held? Only you like
the bills that you hit everyone else?
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Correct, Well, I can't like who do I like?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I don't know? I'm asking you a question like the
why would you like the forty nine ers?
Speaker 7 (22:34):
I just like them? Why can't I like them?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Because you're a Bills fan? You can't have two teams.
You can have one team?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Can't Can you ask me who else do I like?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Because you you brought it up? You said, you asked
yourself the question. That's why I brought it up. You said,
who else do I like? You asked yourself, and I
repeated your own words.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Don't you raise your voice with me. I'll set the
boot out out of you.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I don't want you to hit me.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
No vine right, Lorena, whatever you say, baby, keep.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Her out of this, keep together. Yeah, all right, you
got two queens here, Ben, You're not gonna win.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I know, I know every night when I talk to you,
it's a drag race every night.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Yeah, I'm getting up there. I'm gonna kick some buttons,
put on some heels and my.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Girdle and yeah you got your girdle on. Your moo moo,
you're ready to go.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Yeah, I'm right you're going.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I'm gonna walk right down, right down the catwalk, right
down the catwalk. Yes, I got my.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
Sequence and I got my wing on I my.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Group, got your panty hose. You're ready to go?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah, okay, that's all right, I gotta go. Alright, go away.
Let's go to snooker. Back to back nights for snooker,
back to back, belly to belly. Let's go to snooker
in Vegas. But not in Las Vegas. Not in Paradise, Nevada. No, no, no,
he's in North Las Vegas. Hello snooker.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Hey, hey, hey, man, Alf, you got that right. I'm
in North Las Vegas. There is only one Vegas and
that is North Las Vegas.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
Hey, look at it.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Man. You were talking about the Yankees and that other
Manhattan guy was talking about the Yankees and last year's
World Series and they were talking. You were talking about
vopee and uh, judge, well, let me tell you something.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
They didn't lose the game.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Okay, Nestor lost the damn game. He put that flower
up there to Freeman, and Freeman, you know, got all
ugly ad and said, wow, look at that, and out
it goes.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah. That was that was Game one, though, snooker. That
was game one. We're talking about Game five where the
Yankees had to win that game and conceivably turned the
series around and they blew it.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, yeah, well I understand that, but still, you know,
it doesn't make any difference. Nessa came in game five?
Speaker 9 (24:57):
Didn't he come in Game five?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I'm talking The game was not decided by Nestor, though
it was decided by Garrett, Garrett Cole and Aaron Judge
and Volpi all fing up. Come on, wouldn't you trying
to spin the story? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
One more thing?
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You?
Speaker 9 (25:14):
The thing is, you know, I played some little league baseball,
and I played a year in high school and in
little league baseball, you know, you get the fundamentals, and
they tell you in the outfield, if you catch the
sly ball.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
You use two hands. What does didn't use two hands?
You know, all these these outfielders now they're all out there,
nonchalant to throw the glove up and then oh yeah,
the ball is going to be right there. You're supposed
to use two hands when you're in the housefield you
catch the sly ball, all.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Right, So really the Yankees should hire you, Snooker. You
can go coach for the Yankees. You get the uniform,
you get to travel with the team. You can be
the defensive coach for the Yankees. How about that.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
You don't understand I sent them. I send them text
messages all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Hey, right, do they do they ever listen? Do they
ever respond? Snooker? When you send the Yankees messages.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
To the you know, it's just like anything else. Hey,
you know what I told you the other night that
I took the red pill for the NFL and the NBA. Well,
the only sport that I actually like to watch is
baseball because there's no drama.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
You know, there is drama in baseball. It's just it's
slow developing drama like it.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Ain't like the NFL and NBA drama that's every day,
every second, every minute. You know that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
But if you now, you do understand snowgre if you
took the red pill, you're just staying in wonderland, right,
So you don't you you're still a fan of everything.
You're in wonderland, right, No.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
No, no, no no no. Well, I'm of split. But
I've seen the reality of the NFL and the NBA.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
What is the what is the reality of the I
got to hear this because you were yelling at me
at the meet and greet. It was great meeting you.
As I said the other night, I really enjoyed you.
A great character. But that but what is the reality?
Explain to me. You were yelling at me that I
need to talk about snooker, and I I told you,
I said, you want me to lose my job. But
but why should Why are you against the NFL in
the NBA?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Go ahead, okay, okay, all right, all right, all right,
let me explain to you. Because the NFL is not
the NFL anymore, and the NBA is not the NBA anymore.
Every time you turn on the radio, go oh, he's
the greatest athlete in the world. That's hockey puff. Every
time turning around, these clowns are getting hurt. I remember,
the last time I saw an excellent football game is
(27:21):
when the Bears won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It was a football player, you know, forty years ago.
You haven't seen you have not seen a good foot
You haven't seen a good football football game in forty years.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, you get name one, you know, you get oh,
quarterback to wide receiver, Oh, quarterback to oh the running back.
Oh oh, I'm talking about football players.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Well, you know snooker. Well you know what happened snooker.
These guys get paid more money. Now you get paid
more money. Suddenly. You don't rub some dirt on it.
You don't get back out there and play. You don't
take a couple of advil and get back on the field.
Some ibuprofen, you know, farm grade. You don't do that.
You're just like, I'm giving a lot of money. I'm
gonna I'm gonna wait till I'm healthy to get back.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
On the field. Okay, one one last thing that I'm
gonna get out of here.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You promise, you said, you promised me. This is your
last point. Snooker.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
No, no, no, give me one second snooker. The game
was slucker. The table game was slicker. The table is
twelve feet long, six feet wide. The greatest game in
the world. Okay, anybody that wants to learn how to
actually play the game of pool. Most people play nine
ball and eight ball and all that other stuff. The
snooker is the game. It's a thinking man's game. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Well, when I was when I was, when I was
a kid, I used to eat the snickers, which is
like snooker, but it's a and it's very similar. You are,
It's similar. You know, it's the same thing. You know,
don't tell me one more thing. Do not tell me
one more thing.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
No, no public relations and that's air force based.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
If you ever want to go out and get.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
The Grand tour they like celebrities, just called up the
public relations losses and if you're in Vegas, they'll slot
you in and they'll give you the Grand Tour. And
who knows if you get it at the right time.
You know, between you and Cooper Luke, why you guys
might get a free flight.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Oh all right, that would be fun, all right, all right,
Well I gotta go. Thank you Snooker, the great Snooker,
all right, go away north Las Vega. Let's go to
Andre in the CommonWell. This is a roller coaster. Do
you understand how exhilarating and sometimes terrifying these calls are.
Let's go now to Andre in the CommonWell. Hello, andre.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
Ben, it's good to be with you this evening morning,
whatever you want to call it. Willis is gonna be
a little bit quiet right now, as you know, we're
shifting seasons here, getting to the end of the summer.
But he'll certainly be involved in and turning up as
we prepare for the next Mallet Palooza. He's going to
be working or working on our acts feverishly to get
(29:57):
close to the Jayscoop.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
The reigning champion.
Speaker 10 (30:00):
But you were noting Indianapolis cults. They're not champions of anything.
Never mind their decision in terms of Anthony Richardson and
whether they are going to be able to move off
of him, I e. The San Francisco forty nine ers
and how they made short work of Trey Lance. I
don't see it happening this season. I do see it
happening eventually if you can't beat out Danny Dimes, an
(30:24):
individual who was supposed to be the engine for the
New York Giants. Remember that mister Dave Oon and company
didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Know they drafted. As you know, Andre So is a man,
a man of the world. You know, the Giants drafted
in large part Daniel Jones because he did cosplay pretending
to be Eli Manning. That's why he was drafted by
the Giants.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Yeah, he was an Eli impersonator. Never mind. You know,
there's a big difference between playing football at Duke and
winning a couple of games for the Blue Devils, who
are clearly a basketball school and Eli down there and
the SEC for old mis doing what he did. So
how drafted that high? Who knows? You know some of
the geniuses, uh do this?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That Dave? I think that might have been Dave Gettleman.
Was that a Dave Gettleman pick? Was he the GM there?
I think it might have been a Dave Gettleman pick.
I don't know. I have to check. They've changed gms
a lot there with the Giants because they're bad, and
bad teams changed yams, that's what happens.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
So yeah, they were going to change gams this year
after they follow up finishing the bottom of the NFC
uh East, you know with the with the Eagles and
the Redskins. You know in the Dallas Cowboys. Who knows
what the heck they're gonna do? You know, I like
the Micah talk, you know, the fairy tales him going
to Green Bay. Not even Jerry would be would be
have the goal to send Micah not only just to
(31:36):
another contender in the in the same conference, but a
team that content consistently goes down to the Dallas and
steals their hopes and dreams. So that's a little bit
of leverage, don't see it happening with with with Micah
and green Bay. But Ben the situation with the coach.
I mean, at a certain point in time, you do
need to be the adult in the room and just recognize, listen,
you drank the kool aid. You did what you should
(31:57):
have done. Everybody said Anthony Richards Sain's the free athlete,
you know, and he can, you know, off the charts
in terms of athleticism, so on and forth, but there
were serious question marks about his ability to play the quarterback.
Everybody knew it, okay, but they were the genius at
that particular point in time. And you know, you just
have to take a step back, right the forty nine
ers for whatever you want to say about Kyle Shanahan
twenty eight to three, all the rest of that stuff,
all right, they you know, they step back and they say, listen,
(32:20):
if it's not going right, then we're gonna go with
mister irrelevant, the last pick in the draft. And you know,
because he's got the get, he's got the right stuff,
we're gonna build around him. We're gonna make we made
a mistake and move forward. But the Colts, I just
it's it's it's unfortunate frankly, you know once proud franchise
Peyton Manning, you know, in the Success and all the
rest of that stuff. But they got a quagmire with
this Anthony Richardson. He's not the guy every you know
(32:41):
it's over, but it does this unfortunate type of thing,
right when when it ends like this before it's actually ended,
you know. But as you said, you know, if the
eighty nine is going to come in, you know, and
then we know it's gonna go. Listen, Ben, For myself,
Willis is quiet night, but he's still in the mix
because you said he's been barking a little bit too much,
but he still has some barks. We're not yet the
labor day, so yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Just you know I'm getting if I get a headache
from the barking. I can't imagine somebody listening if I've
got a headache, you know what I'm saying. It's no
disrespect to Willis, because there are still people that claim
Willis is not real. We had a lovely lady call
up from Ventura in California the other night. She questioned
the integrity of Willis, doubting whether Willison I've seen photos
(33:21):
of Willis. You posted photos Andre of that nice looking
mutt there Willis. So I've seen the dog. But other
people don't agree. They think that's photoshopped or it's fake.
But I'll let you on that. But thank you Andre
in the common. Well, let's say hello to Lucky Tony
who's in the Bay area. Get that dump button ready,
Hello Lucky Tony.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Hey man, I want to tip my bars hat to
George and Uvaldi or Uvaldi for writing that Davids a
joke on flame jok And where can we send the
offensive David jokes too?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Well, yeah, you can send those jokes in care of
Ben Malors Show at gmail dot com. Make sure you
put jokes in the headlines. That way I can do
a search because I get a lot of email from
this person named blind Scott and it's very hard to
go through the email. A lot of stuff gets lost,
So make sure to put jokes in the headlines. But
Benmatlers Show at gmail dot com, lame jokes are coming
(34:15):
up tomorrow on the show tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah okay. Also, what does David Vassy have in common
with packer fans?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
They wear Dick cheese hats. Thanks ben Ok.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
You want to hear what that was, you can go
to the podcast. It'll be up there later. You can
hear the podcast. I didn't got on the air right now.
So bumpity bumpity bump, bumpity bumpity bump. That would be
the Kansas City Chiefs. Now the fall out. And I'm
going to tell you a little more about this later
because there's still some some post mortem on the big
engagement news of the week. But there's a there's a
(34:55):
story out that they're they're calling the Taylor Swift Effect.
They're claiming one of the tabloids is claiming that the
franchise value of the Kansas City Chiefs since Taylor Swift's
arrival on the scene has gone up by how much
They're claiming that the value of the Chiefs has gone
(35:16):
up because of Taylor Swift, the Taylor Swift Effect, by
two point two billion. Just now, A man, I come on.
They claim the franchise went from having a fan base
that was mostly split fifty to fifty between men and women.
I don't I don't think that's right either. They now
claim that because of Taylor Swift, fifty seven percent female supporters,
(35:43):
which is unprecedented in the history of the NFL. I
also don't believe that. Here's why that of the fifty
seven percent, how many of those women are actually watching
Chiefs games and engaged in the Chiefs And how many
of those women are only paying attention to stories about
Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I'm saying, come on now, and to give her full credit.
You know, he said, well, Travis Kelsey has sold all
these jerseys, and you know, the NFL's gained a billion
dollars in additional lat advertising revenue. You're giving everything the
NFL's done, and you're crediting it to Taylor Listen is
clearly she's at it in by she's very popular. But
(36:20):
I'm not buying that.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I know.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Oh, you just just being a hater. Bad, No, I'm not.
I don't buye. The Taylor Swift alone is the reason
the franchise value of the Chiefs has gone up. Every
team's franchise value has gone up all right. Time out
for the Inch to Trivia Pittsburgh Pirates picture Bubba Chandler.
What a name, Bubba. This guy's pretty good too. Bubba
Chandler became the first picture to win and save in

Speaker 2 (37:54):
It's very odd.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I think Bill Miller's stalking me. Here's the Insta Trivia

Speaker 9 (38:11):
What is the answer?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
And let's see.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
We'll do a couple of answers to get the mallard

Alf the Alien Opiner, Alan Parsons from Bobby in Florida,
Dennis Oil, Can Boyd from Andy and Lion o' lakes,
CM Punk from King Rory. That's his answer. Tie Dettner

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Shane in Des Moines.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
And I think the line is up.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Let me switch over here.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Hold on, there you go. Let's switch over. Look at
that unbelievable amazing The line is back there. It is
all right. Do you have an answer the rain?
Speaker 2 (38:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:51):
No, no answer. I was gonna say, giz mother gremlin
Ben No, No, that's it's somebody named Mickey Weston. I
don't even from the Orioles in nineteen eighty nine. Nineteen
eighty nine all right, let's get to it. Here we
go blah blah blah blah blah blah Blahler how about
that to the third degree?
Speaker 4 (39:09):
This is one big event.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Gets grilled crubl it.
Speaker 11 (39:14):
It was reported on Tuesday that the Commanders have the
oldest fifty three player roster in the NFL, while the
Green Bay Packers have the youngest. Now, with both teams
featuring young up and coming quarterbacks, does this report prove
that the Packers are actually in a better spot right
now than the Commander.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Now, the numbers are skewed. I'll tell you why, Coop.
They've got Bobby Wagner, who's really old, Von Miller, your
guy who's even older, and Zach Ertz. So it skews
the whole, the whole roster math on that. I don't
put too much stock in the you know, the age
game and all that. That's why they have three guys
that are skewing the numbers. And so I don't think
(39:49):
the problem with the Packers is Jordan Love. That's the issue. Next.
Speaker 11 (39:53):
So the Houston Astros are only one and a half
games ahead of the Seattle Mariners in the Al West,
but did also just get back three time All Star
Jordan Alvarez, Ben, do you think the Astros will hold
off the Mariners?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
No, America needs Cal Roley, the big Dumper, to put
a big dump on the Astros. Everyone's pulling for the
team from the team from Seattle. So yes.
Speaker 11 (40:14):
Next, Freddie Freeman was interviewed and asked about being the
only three hundred hitter in the National League. He said,
his goals to hit three hundred every season, but it's
getting harder and harder because pitching is too good.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Is that what's going on? Ben boo Hooo, listen, hitter's
supposed to get better too. That's an excuse. I don't
want to hear it. I want I need a second
Knock, knock, who's there? Our number two. It's our two
of the Ben Malor Show, and we go take a
ride on the horse seat the Colts front office saying
they are not not trading demoted quarterback Anthony Richardson. What
does that signal to you? Also, why you ask with
the Patriots a team wandering the quarterback desert, grabbed Tommy
(00:22):
DeVito off the waiver wire. We'll examine that edition. And
rookie cam Ward being named El Capitan in Tennessee for
the Titans as a rookie is blank to all that
and more. Right now here, it is our number two,
throwing a horseshoe at you. Welcome in the beginning of
(00:48):
another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in
the air everywhere, making life interesting unless we're not. As
we juggle around coast coast, border to border and beyond
on the best and intergalactically powerful microphones of fs are
they say, those radio waves just keep going and going
(01:10):
and going and going out into the cosmos far far away,
emanating live from the theater, the theater of the mind,
and the theater of the absurd, from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Angie and Brian.
Big fans of the show Angie and Brian and this
portion of the program made possible in part by our
(01:31):
friends at ti 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 ti raq dot Com The Way Tire
Buying Showy. So our lead this hour is from in Theannapolis,
(02:01):
a city known for the Indianapolis five hundred and a
lot of basketball. Who's your state? It's about football, It's
about football. Status update on demoted quarterback status update demoted quarterback.
If you've not heard, perhaps not. We had a rubarb
of sorts Colts general manager Chris Ballard, who somehow has
(02:26):
kept his job while wonder if that's going to continue.
Jim Irsay, the late owner of the Colts, very loyal
to Chris Ballard, who's put some really bad football teams together.
So Chris Ballard, the bloviating, blowhard general manager of the
Indianapolis Colts, he said that the team is not going
to trade bust quarterback Anthony Richardson who stinks, but they're
(02:48):
not trading him. Richardson, you might know, was demoted in
favor of another legendary stiff, Daniel Jones, the stumblebum who
failed year after year with the New York Giants in
embarrassing fashion. Ballard was quizzed on the possibility of unloading
the dead weight it is Anthony Richardson, and he responded
(03:11):
by saying, we're not trading him. Okay, we're not trading fine,
all right, so let us discuss the question. The Colt
front office says they are not going to deal away
bench quarterback Anthony Richardson. What does this signal to you?
(03:31):
So I've got spelling, bee, bellagio, and parallel parking, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make delicious cinnamon rolls. Yum yum to my
Tom Tom So number I said, number all right, all right.
(03:59):
So this is a tale well of denial, dysfunction, and
delusion mixed with devotion. A lot of d's, a lot
of DSE denial, dysfunction, delusion, and devotion. It's also some stubbornness.
The Indianapolis colts. Those lovable or should I say unlovable
grid iron gatekeepers there of mediocrity. That's really the job
(04:24):
of Chris Ballard. He is the gatekeeper there of mediocrity.
They're at it again. So let me translate what the
Ballard of the ball said into reality. Here's how I
determined what the GM there the Colts said. He essentially said,
we tried to trade Anthony Richardson. Nobody wanted the guy
(04:44):
because he's covered in fleas and flies, and now we're
stuck holding onto this guy. He's a hot potato. So
this is the NFL's version of trying to sell a
used car that has no engine. That car's gotten engine,
it's got three flat tires, and if you open the
glove box there's a raccoon living in there. You can
(05:06):
slap a fresh coat of paint on it, right, you
can say a slightly used and it still smells like regret.
There's some problems there now the Colts front office. Really,
what they're doing Ballard is like an overnight sports talk
radio caller from years ago. Spin cycle, Regina, Spin, Spin, Spin, Spin,
Spin out of Minnesota. They're not ready to admit they're
(05:29):
in Indy that they drafted a turkey, But they did
draft a Turkey. Now, later on, in this fiery confrontation
between the Colt GM and the media, Ballard claimed that
Richardson would quote be learning behind a professional, is what
he said regarding his status here in twenty twenty five.
(05:50):
Now that is code for we are hiding Anthony Richardson
the quarterback behind another quarterback, Daniel Jones, and hoping that
nobody notices that he also also has bo right, which
made us wonder, made us wonder if the Colts GM
has been hanging out with the Golden Dragon. If you
(06:10):
know what I mean here losing a quarterback battle like
to Daniel Jones. If you're Anthony Richardson and you lost
a quarterback battle to Daniel Jones, it is akin to
losing a spelling bee to a parrot. Okay, you should
never lose a spelling bee to a parrot, and you
should never lose a quarterback competition to Daniel Jones. If
(06:32):
you're a top five draft pick with the team that
drafted you, and the rest of the NFL knows the
culture bluff, they're waiting for the inevitable waiver wire clearance sale.
Why pay full price when you can scoop Richardson up
for free, if you'd even want him. Iired some chatter
(06:53):
that Richardson will have a chance to change positions. He's
that bad. He's that bad as a quarterback. Now, my
counter to that is Richardson gets hurt all the time,
mostly running the ball. So if you're gonna make him
a running back or some kind of tight end or
something like that, wouldn't he just keep getting hurt? So
what's the point?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
All right? Now?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Page two to the waiver wire. As we run the
mouth to the waiver wire, waiver wire, and look over there,
Tommy DeVito has a new home. Do you see this? Yes,
that Tommy Davido. He's got a new home. Tommy DeVito
is headed too the New England football team, the folk
(07:36):
hero quarterback from Jersey, native of New Jersey, claimed off
waivers by the Patsies. And that ends that romantic rom
com with his hometown Giants. So why, you ask, would
the Patriots a team currently wandering the quarterback desert. They
don't know whether Drake May is going to be good
(07:59):
or not, and they have the astronaut as the backup,
So why would they grab Tommy DeVito? It's pretty simple here,
all right. It's kind of like you're you've paid for
the buffet at the Belagio. You're walking down the buffet line.
You see the prime rib is already gone. The herb
(08:21):
crusted chicken with champagne cream sauce is empty. But there
is a little bit of spaghetti and a couple of
meat balls just sitting there. Now do you want that
as your meal? Probably not, you know, not really. However,
you're not just gonna walk away from the buffet empty handy.
(08:44):
You don't want to be hungry, so you take the
plate and that's it. And that's what the patriots are
doing here. It's not really about de Vito being some
kind of savior, you know. This is not the second
coming of Tom Brady. No not, They're going to ride
in there on a white horse. That's not it. It's
more of a pat job, little Duc tape and all that.
(09:05):
So Mike Rabel's patriots. They are the guys who busted
a tire on the on the highway there and they
rolled into the gas station and they said, okay, I
got a new tire. It's gonna cost you this much
as I don't want a new tire, I'm gonna get
one of those cans of the you know that fix
a flat thing. I'll just get that and I'll get
to fix a flat and that's it. That's Tommy Cutlets.
(09:26):
The veto Tommy DeVito is a fun story, right, We
talked about him a lot in the previous episode. I
think we all know the story. We pay attention to
this stuff. Rocky bow bowa right, you know, he's he's
so Italian. He takes a bath in marinera sauce and
but this is desperation, and so the Patriots like, ah,
why not? You know, you imagine when this guy gets
(09:47):
to the Patriots on those nights off, when he's out
there partying at those great Italian restaurants on the North End,
and he'll be the Tommy Cutlets character and say, well,
you're not from around here, but you're Tommy Cutlets, so
come on down all right now, final point, we head
now to Nashville. We go to Nashville where the captains
have arrived. That's right, it's that time of the year.
(10:11):
Expect to hear a lot of this content in the
next couple of days, teams announcing their captains. The first
team up that would be the team in Nashville. I'm
sure Danny and Nashville is very excited about this. Soll
he lives in Miami. Among the seven captains seven, they
named seven captains. Among these seven captains for the worst
(10:31):
team in football, the Titans. They decided that rookie quarterback
cam Ward, the number one over in the twenty twenty
five collegiate draft out of Miami but mostly Washington State,
is a captain. So let's jump off on that. That's
(10:52):
good jumping off point. So let's discuss that particular story.
Rookie quarterback cam being named a team captain for the
Tennessee Titans is blank fill in the blank, all right,
So this is the the word I will use on
(11:13):
this is premature. It is a classic case of premature
coronation syndrome. And this is an example of given, not earn, given, noddern.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I am Benny Brightside. I want cam Ward to be
good because I have a feeling he's going to help
me out, that he's going to do things verbally that
are going to be good for talk radio. But the
only reason, the only way, rather the only way that
really translates, is if he's good. If he's terrible, we'll
just goof on him and he'll go away, and he'll
(11:48):
be working in insurance somewhere in a couple of years.
But Ward has been named the captain of the Tennessee
Titans before he's even learned how to parallel park. There's
no parallel parking yet in the NFL, and he doesn't
know how to parallel park. He hasn't done anything. He
hasn't had a chance to do anything. So my default position,
(12:10):
and this has been my default position on all rookie
quarterbacks since the beginning of time, that in two proven otherwise,
cam Ward and all rookie quarterbacks have more question marks
than the nemesis of Batman the Riddler. Remember the costume
the Riddler would wear. With all the other question marks,
there's a lot of questions. And so I understand what
(12:31):
they're trying to do, and this is not going to
be the only one. You'll see a bunch of other
like what the f was that? How's that guy a captain?
But they're trying to manifest that this man's a leader.
It's like some vision boards, like a vision board that's
taped to the dorm room wall and all that, Like
(12:51):
it's one of those phrases. I'm going to speak this
into existence, they say, and it's going to happen. It's
all all I have to do is speak this into existence.
That's it. And so the Titans acting a little bit
like a Disney movie. If you believe hard enough that
(13:12):
cam Ward will become the leader that we need. Generally speaking,
that's not how it works. That's not how any of
this works. So we can agree to differ on that
particular point. We'll see what happens. And I want to
point out again, I've got to get these monologues in
(13:32):
on these really bad teams, because once the season gets
going here, we'll not be talking about them unless it
gets even worse. They go, how low can you go?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
How low can you go? How far down can you go?
And the suck Avenue? Where do Suck Avenue end? We'll
find out right, crank it up a couple of notches
and just see how far down Suck Avenue you can go.
It is the Ben Mahlor shown Malors show. As we
are just getting started here, it's hour number two. Later
(14:04):
this hour we will have Mallard of the third Degree.
We'll have the Inch to Trivia coming up. A little
bit later as well. We've got Bumpety Bump and the
candid Camera store. I'm gonna get to that right now,
the candid camera story. So, Freddie Freeman is a baseball
player for the Dodgers, kind of a big deal. He's
gonna be in the Hall of Fame someday, and won
(14:25):
a couple of World series, won some big honors individually.
And Freddie Freeman was caught on camera during the Dodger
Reds game back on Wednesday night at Chavez Ravine in
the dugout, and he was very aggressively pulling a nosehair
(14:46):
out of his schnaz and it was caught on camera.
And I don't mean just a little I kind of
grab the thing and then pull it lightly. I mean
a very aggressive snatchy of the nose hair with two fingers.
He had his thumb and then he had his pointer
finger and it he just ripped the hair right out
(15:10):
of his nose. Right now, I think that's supposed to
cause you to tear up a little bit. They moved
the camera away. They moved the camera away. I think
it generally leads you to sneeze, But I don't know
what happened. I'm also told they later on. I didn't
see this, but somebody sent me a text that they
showed Max Munci who was trying to find some gold
(15:31):
up his nostril. There so a very good camera work
at the Dodger game last night. But Freddy Freeman man
that is Hey, you're watching a ball game, it's the
middle innings. You know, you gotta get that annoying hair,
that loose hair in your nose and you just have
to rip it out. And he ripped it out and
(15:51):
it was caught on camera, and of course it went
immediately viral as people were fascinated that he did not
show any kind of pain when he ripped that thing
right out of his schnaz. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
As we continue on straight ahead, we mentioned it bumpity
bumpity bump. We'll get to that and we will do it.

the mail bag. That'll be next our saleo to Lorena
FSR Tech Queen. She's enjoying some lady party, some pizza,
(18:29):
and we have Cooper Loop at a Bronco fan. Bronco fan,
your comments can and will be used against you in
the court of sports radio. And now back to it,
back to where we go. We started here with a
hodgepodge of a Mallard monologue bouncing around the Indianapolis Colts
(18:53):
and their GM Chris Ballard. We're not trailing Anthony Richardson.
You think of a team like the RAM said we'll
trade your first round pick for Anthony Richardson. They would say,
we're not trading Anthony Richardson. Yeah, he'd be on the
first flight out of Indy. He's gone. Tommy DeVito is
now a Patriot for now. I've been hearing from my
(19:13):
boots on the ground in Boston that the past or
not has been sucking. I'm not watching training camp, so
I couldn't tell you whether that's true or not. But
some of my guys there, oh, he's terrible. That's why
they brought him in. Okay, Well, Tommy DeVito sucks also,
and cam Ward captain of your Tennessee Titans. I know
you're very excited about that, very very excited. Mark the
(19:35):
Full Name Guy says that Freddie Freeman's got true grit.
That is me reacting. Why dott as I watch Freddie
Freeman would rip out a nostril here and not even
bat an eyelash. Freddie has already torn out all his eyelashes.
His eyebrows too, are gone. Freddie likes to watch women shave, apparently,
(19:56):
according to Mark the Full Name Guy, see what else
do we have have here? Ferg Dogg says, hey, Ben
can you do me a solid and cut out the
Angel score from Moncey's update? Nobody needs to hear that
all night. Thanks. Yeah. What I'll do ferg Dog is
I'll call Moncy. I'll have her wake up and come
back into the station and re record the update. How
about that? Would that make you happy? Aboso? The district
(20:19):
attorney rights and says, why do the Colts think Anthony
Richardson will improve under Daniel Jones if he did not
improve under Super Bowl winning quarterback Joe Flacco? Well, Joe
Flacco clearly clearly elite, clearly clearly elite without without a doubt,
without a doubt. All right, let's go this is better
(20:39):
than the best. Uh, let's go down to let's go
to a golden ticket and then we'll get to the
other people on Let's go to Felexus, America's favorite drag
queen caller in Buffalo. Hello, Felexus oh Man, Hello, Damn.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Mary Allen, John boy, whoever who cares? Hey, that's Steve Forman,
He's sometime asmall That guy drives me nuts. And they're terrible.
They're looking they're gonna win six games this year. What
do you think about that? Ben? And you think I'm
right or wrong?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Who's going to win six games? I tuned you out
because you were boring me. The Colts win six games? Yeah,
I was just talking about the Colts. No, listen, the
culture in If you look at the Colts division, it
is the outhouse. The two southern divisions, the AFC South
and the NFC South are like a wasteland. Like there's
(21:41):
completely horrific divisions from top to bottom. But the win
total on the Colts this year, if you go by
the gambling odds in Las Wages, Nevada, which is the
Holy Grail as you know, the Colts win total is
seven and a half. I'm the one under seven and
that's that seems pretty high. Seven and a half for
the Colts with Daniel Jones at quarterbacks. So I'm going
(22:03):
under the window now.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
The Colts are like the homeless people of the NFL.
As far as I concur they're no good, just like
like the people down there and check them though they're
no good. Nobody's no good anymore?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Who else? Who else do you held? Only you like
the bills that you hit everyone else?
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Correct, Well, I can't like who do I like?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I don't know? I'm asking you a question like the
why would you like the forty nine ers?
Speaker 7 (22:34):
I just like them? Why can't I like them?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Because you're a Bills fan? You can't have two teams.
You can have one team?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Can't Can you ask me who else do I like?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Because you you brought it up? You said, you asked
yourself the question. That's why I brought it up. You said,
who else do I like? You asked yourself, and I
repeated your own words.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Don't you raise your voice with me. I'll set the
boot out out of you.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I don't want you to hit me.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
No vine right, Lorena, whatever you say, baby, keep.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Her out of this, keep together. Yeah, all right, you
got two queens here, Ben, You're not gonna win.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I know, I know every night when I talk to you,
it's a drag race every night.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Yeah, I'm getting up there. I'm gonna kick some buttons,
put on some heels and my.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Girdle and yeah you got your girdle on. Your moo moo,
you're ready to go.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Yeah, I'm right you're going.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I'm gonna walk right down, right down the catwalk, right
down the catwalk. Yes, I got my.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
Sequence and I got my wing on I my.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Group, got your panty hose. You're ready to go?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah, okay, that's all right, I gotta go. Alright, go away.
Let's go to snooker. Back to back nights for snooker,
back to back, belly to belly. Let's go to snooker
in Vegas. But not in Las Vegas. Not in Paradise, Nevada. No, no, no,
he's in North Las Vegas. Hello snooker.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Hey, hey, hey, man, Alf, you got that right. I'm
in North Las Vegas. There is only one Vegas and
that is North Las Vegas.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
Hey, look at it.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Man. You were talking about the Yankees and that other
Manhattan guy was talking about the Yankees and last year's
World Series and they were talking. You were talking about
vopee and uh, judge, well, let me tell you something.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
They didn't lose the game.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Okay, Nestor lost the damn game. He put that flower
up there to Freeman, and Freeman, you know, got all
ugly ad and said, wow, look at that, and out
it goes.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah. That was that was Game one, though, snooker. That
was game one. We're talking about Game five where the
Yankees had to win that game and conceivably turned the
series around and they blew it.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, yeah, well I understand that, but still, you know,
it doesn't make any difference. Nessa came in game five?
Speaker 9 (24:57):
Didn't he come in Game five?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I'm talking The game was not decided by Nestor, though
it was decided by Garrett, Garrett Cole and Aaron Judge
and Volpi all fing up. Come on, wouldn't you trying
to spin the story? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
One more thing?
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You?
Speaker 9 (25:14):
The thing is, you know, I played some little league baseball,
and I played a year in high school and in
little league baseball, you know, you get the fundamentals, and
they tell you in the outfield, if you catch the
sly ball.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
You use two hands. What does didn't use two hands?
You know, all these these outfielders now they're all out there,
nonchalant to throw the glove up and then oh yeah,
the ball is going to be right there. You're supposed
to use two hands when you're in the housefield you
catch the sly ball, all.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Right, So really the Yankees should hire you, Snooker. You
can go coach for the Yankees. You get the uniform,
you get to travel with the team. You can be
the defensive coach for the Yankees. How about that.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
You don't understand I sent them. I send them text
messages all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Hey, right, do they do they ever listen? Do they
ever respond? Snooker? When you send the Yankees messages.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
To the you know, it's just like anything else. Hey,
you know what I told you the other night that
I took the red pill for the NFL and the NBA. Well,
the only sport that I actually like to watch is
baseball because there's no drama.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
You know, there is drama in baseball. It's just it's
slow developing drama like it.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Ain't like the NFL and NBA drama that's every day,
every second, every minute. You know that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
But if you now, you do understand snowgre if you
took the red pill, you're just staying in wonderland, right,
So you don't you you're still a fan of everything.
You're in wonderland, right, No.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
No, no, no no no. Well, I'm of split. But
I've seen the reality of the NFL and the NBA.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
What is the what is the reality of the I
got to hear this because you were yelling at me
at the meet and greet. It was great meeting you.
As I said the other night, I really enjoyed you.
A great character. But that but what is the reality?
Explain to me. You were yelling at me that I
need to talk about snooker, and I I told you,
I said, you want me to lose my job. But
but why should Why are you against the NFL in
the NBA?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Go ahead, okay, okay, all right, all right, all right,
let me explain to you. Because the NFL is not
the NFL anymore, and the NBA is not the NBA anymore.
Every time you turn on the radio, go oh, he's
the greatest athlete in the world. That's hockey puff. Every
time turning around, these clowns are getting hurt. I remember,
the last time I saw an excellent football game is
(27:21):
when the Bears won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It was a football player, you know, forty years ago.
You haven't seen you have not seen a good foot
You haven't seen a good football football game in forty years.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, you get name one, you know, you get oh,
quarterback to wide receiver, Oh, quarterback to oh the running back.
Oh oh, I'm talking about football players.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Well, you know snooker. Well you know what happened snooker.
These guys get paid more money. Now you get paid
more money. Suddenly. You don't rub some dirt on it.
You don't get back out there and play. You don't
take a couple of advil and get back on the field.
Some ibuprofen, you know, farm grade. You don't do that.
You're just like, I'm giving a lot of money. I'm
gonna I'm gonna wait till I'm healthy to get back.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
On the field. Okay, one one last thing that I'm
gonna get out of here.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You promise, you said, you promised me. This is your
last point. Snooker.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
No, no, no, give me one second snooker. The game
was slucker. The table game was slicker. The table is
twelve feet long, six feet wide. The greatest game in
the world. Okay, anybody that wants to learn how to
actually play the game of pool. Most people play nine
ball and eight ball and all that other stuff. The
snooker is the game. It's a thinking man's game. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Well, when I was when I was, when I was
a kid, I used to eat the snickers, which is
like snooker, but it's a and it's very similar. You are,
It's similar. You know, it's the same thing. You know,
don't tell me one more thing. Do not tell me
one more thing.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
No, no public relations and that's air force based.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
If you ever want to go out and get.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
The Grand tour they like celebrities, just called up the
public relations losses and if you're in Vegas, they'll slot
you in and they'll give you the Grand Tour. And
who knows if you get it at the right time.
You know, between you and Cooper Luke, why you guys
might get a free flight.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Oh all right, that would be fun, all right, all right,
Well I gotta go. Thank you Snooker, the great Snooker,
all right, go away north Las Vega. Let's go to
Andre in the CommonWell. This is a roller coaster. Do
you understand how exhilarating and sometimes terrifying these calls are.
Let's go now to Andre in the CommonWell. Hello, andre.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
Ben, it's good to be with you this evening morning,
whatever you want to call it. Willis is gonna be
a little bit quiet right now, as you know, we're
shifting seasons here, getting to the end of the summer.
But he'll certainly be involved in and turning up as
we prepare for the next Mallet Palooza. He's going to
be working or working on our acts feverishly to get
(29:57):
close to the Jayscoop.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
The reigning champion.
Speaker 10 (30:00):
But you were noting Indianapolis cults. They're not champions of anything.
Never mind their decision in terms of Anthony Richardson and
whether they are going to be able to move off
of him, I e. The San Francisco forty nine ers
and how they made short work of Trey Lance. I
don't see it happening this season. I do see it
happening eventually if you can't beat out Danny Dimes, an
(30:24):
individual who was supposed to be the engine for the
New York Giants. Remember that mister Dave Oon and company
didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Know they drafted. As you know, Andre So is a man,
a man of the world. You know, the Giants drafted
in large part Daniel Jones because he did cosplay pretending
to be Eli Manning. That's why he was drafted by
the Giants.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Yeah, he was an Eli impersonator. Never mind. You know,
there's a big difference between playing football at Duke and
winning a couple of games for the Blue Devils, who
are clearly a basketball school and Eli down there and
the SEC for old mis doing what he did. So
how drafted that high? Who knows? You know some of
the geniuses, uh do this?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That Dave? I think that might have been Dave Gettleman.
Was that a Dave Gettleman pick? Was he the GM there?
I think it might have been a Dave Gettleman pick.
I don't know. I have to check. They've changed gms
a lot there with the Giants because they're bad, and
bad teams changed yams, that's what happens.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
So yeah, they were going to change gams this year
after they follow up finishing the bottom of the NFC
uh East, you know with the with the Eagles and
the Redskins. You know in the Dallas Cowboys. Who knows
what the heck they're gonna do? You know, I like
the Micah talk, you know, the fairy tales him going
to Green Bay. Not even Jerry would be would be
have the goal to send Micah not only just to
(31:36):
another contender in the in the same conference, but a
team that content consistently goes down to the Dallas and
steals their hopes and dreams. So that's a little bit
of leverage, don't see it happening with with with Micah
and green Bay. But Ben the situation with the coach.
I mean, at a certain point in time, you do
need to be the adult in the room and just recognize, listen,
you drank the kool aid. You did what you should
(31:57):
have done. Everybody said Anthony Richards Sain's the free athlete,
you know, and he can, you know, off the charts
in terms of athleticism, so on and forth, but there
were serious question marks about his ability to play the quarterback.
Everybody knew it, okay, but they were the genius at
that particular point in time. And you know, you just
have to take a step back, right the forty nine
ers for whatever you want to say about Kyle Shanahan
twenty eight to three, all the rest of that stuff,
all right, they you know, they step back and they say, listen,
(32:20):
if it's not going right, then we're gonna go with
mister irrelevant, the last pick in the draft. And you know,
because he's got the get, he's got the right stuff,
we're gonna build around him. We're gonna make we made
a mistake and move forward. But the Colts, I just
it's it's it's unfortunate frankly, you know once proud franchise
Peyton Manning, you know, in the Success and all the
rest of that stuff. But they got a quagmire with
this Anthony Richardson. He's not the guy every you know
(32:41):
it's over, but it does this unfortunate type of thing,
right when when it ends like this before it's actually ended,
you know. But as you said, you know, if the
eighty nine is going to come in, you know, and
then we know it's gonna go. Listen, Ben, For myself,
Willis is quiet night, but he's still in the mix
because you said he's been barking a little bit too much,
but he still has some barks. We're not yet the
labor day, so yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Just you know I'm getting if I get a headache
from the barking. I can't imagine somebody listening if I've
got a headache, you know what I'm saying. It's no
disrespect to Willis, because there are still people that claim
Willis is not real. We had a lovely lady call
up from Ventura in California the other night. She questioned
the integrity of Willis, doubting whether Willison I've seen photos
(33:21):
of Willis. You posted photos Andre of that nice looking
mutt there Willis. So I've seen the dog. But other
people don't agree. They think that's photoshopped or it's fake.
But I'll let you on that. But thank you Andre
in the common. Well, let's say hello to Lucky Tony
who's in the Bay area. Get that dump button ready,
Hello Lucky Tony.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Hey man, I want to tip my bars hat to
George and Uvaldi or Uvaldi for writing that Davids a
joke on flame jok And where can we send the
offensive David jokes too?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Well, yeah, you can send those jokes in care of
Ben Malors Show at gmail dot com. Make sure you
put jokes in the headlines. That way I can do
a search because I get a lot of email from
this person named blind Scott and it's very hard to
go through the email. A lot of stuff gets lost,
So make sure to put jokes in the headlines. But
Benmatlers Show at gmail dot com, lame jokes are coming
(34:15):
up tomorrow on the show tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah okay. Also, what does David Vassy have in common
with packer fans?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
They wear Dick cheese hats. Thanks ben Ok.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
You want to hear what that was, you can go
to the podcast. It'll be up there later. You can
hear the podcast. I didn't got on the air right now.
So bumpity bumpity bump, bumpity bumpity bump. That would be
the Kansas City Chiefs. Now the fall out. And I'm
going to tell you a little more about this later
because there's still some some post mortem on the big
engagement news of the week. But there's a there's a
(34:55):
story out that they're they're calling the Taylor Swift Effect.
They're claiming one of the tabloids is claiming that the
franchise value of the Kansas City Chiefs since Taylor Swift's
arrival on the scene has gone up by how much
They're claiming that the value of the Chiefs has gone
(35:16):
up because of Taylor Swift, the Taylor Swift Effect, by
two point two billion. Just now, A man, I come on.
They claim the franchise went from having a fan base
that was mostly split fifty to fifty between men and women.
I don't I don't think that's right either. They now
claim that because of Taylor Swift, fifty seven percent female supporters,
(35:43):
which is unprecedented in the history of the NFL. I
also don't believe that. Here's why that of the fifty
seven percent, how many of those women are actually watching
Chiefs games and engaged in the Chiefs And how many
of those women are only paying attention to stories about
Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I'm saying, come on now, and to give her full credit.
You know, he said, well, Travis Kelsey has sold all
these jerseys, and you know, the NFL's gained a billion
dollars in additional lat advertising revenue. You're giving everything the
NFL's done, and you're crediting it to Taylor Listen is
clearly she's at it in by she's very popular. But
(36:20):
I'm not buying that.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I know.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Oh, you just just being a hater. Bad, No, I'm not.
I don't buye. The Taylor Swift alone is the reason
the franchise value of the Chiefs has gone up. Every
team's franchise value has gone up all right. Time out
for the Inch to Trivia Pittsburgh Pirates picture Bubba Chandler.
What a name, Bubba. This guy's pretty good too. Bubba
Chandler became the first picture to win and save in

Speaker 3 (37:50):
All right, let's get back to it. I don't know
how Bill Miller and I are in the same place.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
It's very odd.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I think Bill Miller's stalking me. Here's the Insta Trivia
Pirates pitcher Bubba Chandler became the first pitcher to win
and get a save in his first two career outings
since blank. That is the question.
Speaker 9 (38:11):
What is the answer?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
And let's see.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
We'll do a couple of answers to get the mallard
to a third degree. We have Air Jordan guests by
Alf the Alien Opiner, Alan Parsons from Bobby in Florida,
Dennis Oil, Can Boyd from Andy and Lion o' lakes,
CM Punk from King Rory. That's his answer. Tie Dettner
guests by.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Shane in Des Moines.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
And I think the line is up.
Speaker 2 (38:38):

Ben No, No, that's it's somebody named Mickey Weston. I

eighty nine all right, let's get to it. Here we

that to the third degree?
Speaker 4 (39:09):
This is one big event.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Gets grilled crubl it.
Speaker 11 (39:14):
It was reported on Tuesday that the Commanders have the
oldest fifty three player roster in the NFL, while the
Green Bay Packers have the youngest. Now, with both teams
featuring young up and coming quarterbacks, does this report prove
that the Packers are actually in a better spot right
now than the Commander.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Now, the numbers are skewed. I'll tell you why, Coop.
They've got Bobby Wagner, who's really old, Von Miller, your
guy who's even older, and Zach Ertz. So it skews
the whole, the whole roster math on that. I don't
put too much stock in the you know, the age
game and all that. That's why they have three guys
that are skewing the numbers. And so I don't think
(39:49):
the problem with the Packers is Jordan Love. That's the issue. Next.
Speaker 11 (39:53):
So the Houston Astros are only one and a half
games ahead of the Seattle Mariners in the Al West,
but did also just get back three time All Star
Jordan Alvarez, Ben, do you think the Astros will hold
off the Mariners?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
No, America needs Cal Roley, the big Dumper, to put
a big dump on the Astros. Everyone's pulling for the
team from the team from Seattle. So yes.
Speaker 11 (40:14):
Next, Freddie Freeman was interviewed and asked about being the
only three hundred hitter in the National League. He said,
his goals to hit three hundred every season, but it's
getting harder and harder because pitching is too good.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Is that what's going on? Ben boo Hooo, listen, hitter's
supposed to get better too. That's an excuse. I don't
want to hear it. I want I need a second
