Speaker 1 (00:00):
Knock, knock, who's there? That's our number three, our number three.
And we asked the question, how would you describe Shadur Sanders'
status entering the final hours before the twenty twenty five draft. Also,

(00:20):
is Dion Sanders' influence over Shadur's NFL future a positive
or a negative? We'll discuss that. And what do you
make of Jalen Milroe, the Alabama quarterback, being compared to
Jalen Hurts and now to Lamar Jackson. Wow, discuss all
of those things in mark get ready for our number three.

(00:46):
All over the map, all over the map. Wel come,
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, fellow taxpayers, unless you're
not paying taxes, as we crank it up and let

(01:08):
it flow coast to coast, border the border and beyond
on the mast and prestigiously powerful microphones of fsre am
monating live from the plate as in home plate, as
we call balls and strikes, balls and strikes from the
Fox Sports radio studios. And I know JT the wingman

(01:32):
in Knoxville. He could have been an umpire, he could
have been, but he chose the lucrative career of driving
around instead. But I lead this hour. We'll get to
it right now. It's all by the way, this hour
made possible, this portion of the show made possible by
ti Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and

(01:54):
where they drive, ship fast and free back by free
road hazard protection with convenient installaly options like mobile tire Insallation,
tire rackt dot Com, The Way Tire Buying Show. So
I leave this hour from the NFL. And if you
look at the date on your phone or you you
can hear it if you're blind. It says right there

(02:16):
it's the twenty third day of April. And that means
you know what it means. It twas the night before
the draft, when all through the house not a creature
was stirring, not even a mouse. It's true. The fans
were nestled, all snug in their beds, with visions of

(02:36):
sugar plums and high draft picks dancing in their heads.
So we're getting ready for the NFL draft. YadA, YadA, YadA.
That's all the poetry that will be on the show.
So the story you're the big storyline around the draft,
based on my minutes long Mallar investigation, continues to be
the buzzards circling around Shader Sanders, the spawn of Dion.

(03:00):
So if you haven't been following as you're getting ready
for the draft, we'll have live draft coverage on these
airwaves coming up on Thursday and streamed video feed, video
feed on the YouTube. But here on Fox Sports Radio,
live coverage throughout the night, and we're hearing the pets
Burg stealers. These Steelers are said to be quote preparing,

(03:23):
preparing in case should earth Sanders slips out of the
top ten of the draft. Now, how do you prepare it?
Not like preparing for an earthquake, like you're supposed to
know that you get into the doorway and you have
to try to avoid things falling on your head if
there's an earthquake. Is that like preparing for a hurricane,
you know, knowing where to go? How does one prepare

(03:46):
for should Ur Sanders falling out of the top that
the language is so stupid that is used. Now that
report comes amid chatter that the in Insers, the Steelers
are actually looking to trade back back back back back
back in the first round. However, that would not necessarily
take them out of consideration for Chadur Sanders because there

(04:10):
is chatter we talked about this in a previous episode
of the show that the Sanders sweepstakes eh not likely
the right word to use, considering there are reports that
he is going to fall out of the first round.
So let us discuss the question. The question for the
esteem panel, how would you describe Schadur Sanders' stats entering

(04:35):
not really says his status? His status entering the final
few hours. You got all day today and then usually
everything gets shut down until the draft. They don't want
to announce anything until once the draft begins. So the
final hours, what is the status update for Chardur Sanders?
As we get closer and closer to the kickoff in

(04:58):
Green Bay of the d I've got my observation. You've
got the old spaghetti factory, nineteen eighties, television and Disneyland,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make some delicious fresh cheese. Which

(05:23):
if you go to the draft, you're in the Holy
Land of the cheese there in Wisconsin. So take full advantage.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now, numb burn, I can't get that up number Well, no,
it still I said number one.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
So to ask the question, how would you describe the
status of Shoudar Sanders as we head into the final hours?
If you will, before the Draft for a dramatic it's
like walking a tightrope, walking a tightrope. It is a
precarious situation. Is it true that Shaddeur Sanders is the
great unknown? Great unown? The Draft is a TV show.

(06:02):
We know it's a TV show. It's big business. And Sanders'
story is as the world turns. It's like a soap opera. Ooh,
what's going to happen? High drama. If you have good TV,
you gotta have drama, very important. There's an executive named
John who works at NBC who's one of the advisors

(06:23):
on Benny Versus the Penny. And John's like this grizzled
lifetime TV guy, lifetime executive, I mean really good solid
TV executive. And he taught me give me like the
the inside out TV one on one, but like how
it works, and there's nothing really, there's no reality. Everything
that happens on TV is planned one way or a no. Right,

(06:46):
let me inside the TV. I'm a radio guy, so
I've been lucky enough the last couple years through the
TV show and so John over there gave me the
education on TV. Well, the NFL Draft is a TV show,
and as a TV show, you need to have have storylines.
And one of the storylines in this draft is Shudeur Sanders,
the kid that was born on third base, living the

(07:09):
charm life, son of a star. So all the old
dudes will be watching because they remember growing up with
Dion Sanders, and Dion's still cool, and so everyone's kind
of been wondering what's gonna happen with his kid here,
But watching and looking at this from a couple steps back,
it's like going to a family dinner at the old

(07:31):
spaghetti factory and it's the Spaghetti Lovers Special because it's
this draft for Shadeur Sanders. It's like eating a big
bowl of spaghetti when you're a slob and you get
that beautiful tomato sauce, you get that splattered all over.
It's like a Jackson Pollock painting. Maybe that's a better
way to describe it, but there's just there's the tomato

(07:52):
sauce everywhere. It's on your nose, it's it's on your clothes,
your ears. You're just a mess. You're just a mess.
So there is talk, as we have mentioned in previous episodes,
that Shoulder Sanders is going to not even be picked
in the first round. He's gonna have to wait till
Friday to the old Walk of Shame, even though I
don't believe you'll be at the draft, but the Walk
of Shame. And then there's others that are convinced while

(08:15):
he will be a top ten pick, he's going to
be draft in the top ten. This is all nonsen,
this is just nonsense. Top ten pick, and he'll be
picked at least by the Saints at number nine. They're
not going to pass up. They need a quarterback. They're
not going to pass this guy up. Now, I say
the smart money is he will be drafted near the
end of the first round. That's my position at this hour.

(08:35):
I'd be surprised he shouldn't be drafted in the first
round based on his skill set, but he will be
drafted in the first round, late in the first round,
late in the first round. So that's my smart money
right now. Now, speaking of this page number two, the
volume is being turned up around the Shouldar Sanders story,

(08:55):
but not about him per se that that's one of
the storylines. Another story line here that has been spread
from the mouth of Adam Schefter who reports that outside
of the Yensers, outside of the Steelers with Mike Tomlin,
that any other coach, any other coach who drafts Dion's

(09:18):
son shouldure better be very comfortable, very comfortable with their
job security. Why well, obvious Komodo dragon in the room
is that the first time the team plays poorly and
goes through a rough patch, first time that happens, the
fan base will be calling for a coaching change, a

(09:43):
coaching change, and the speculation will start to swirl about
Dion Sanders stepping in, saving his son and saving some
woe begone suckbag franchise in the NFL. So I pose
the question is Dion sam influence, his immense influence over

(10:04):
his son shoulders NFL future a positive or is it
a negative? So positive on one side, negative on the other.
And the arrow on this one. It's like a nineteen
eighties TV show. You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both, and there you have the facts

(10:25):
of life. Okay, the facts of here's my position. The
arrow is pointing right in the middle, which is not
good talk radio, but it's right in the middle with
Dion Sanders in the picture. It is a zero sum game.
It is a zero some game, meaning coach Pram giveth
and Coach Pram take it away for all the aura

(10:48):
and the razmataz that Dion Sanders and buy DNA shoulder
Sanders inherited for all of that good stuff that Dion provides,
and you you're getting a star. Just add water. You're
not getting a great player at water. You're getting a star.
Add water.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
So you've got that, But you also have the Boogeyman factor.
Boogie Boogie boogie, the Boogeyman. Watch out right, you get
the Boogeyman. He casts a long shadow, things that go
bump in the night, bumpity bump.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Technically, Dion Sanders has already agreed to a massive contract
extension that will keep him in Boulder, Colorado through the
twenty twenty nine college football season. But you and I know,
in fact, everyone and their mother knows that outside of
entering the coaching transfer portal to go to another college team,

(11:43):
there's a very real possibility that there's some fine print,
some minutia that would lead to Dion Sanders being able
to walk away and go coach the Cowboys or whoever
he wants to. They're not gonna lock him in. He
doesn't have an Iron Clan con that he will not
be able to leave Colorado. All right now, final point,

(12:04):
we move away, believe it or not. There's other draft
stuff outside of shooter centers. I know, I'm shocked to
I am stunned, but there is other stuff going on.
So Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, Jalen Milroe, so he is
getting a fair amount of smoochy, smoochy, a lot of
love from the cottage industry of draft pundits. The pre

(12:26):
draft process or process have been very kind to him.
Buttering his biscuits. Buttering his biscuits. He has been described
as a less polished version of another Jalen. Jalen hurts.
That sounds pretty good right now. A lot of people
say the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Jalen hurts, that's
the way to go. And AFC an AFC coordinator that

(12:48):
has not been named, has not been named, says that
Jalen Milroe is a better runner than Lamar Jackson was
in college. Holy crap. On a cracker Batman. All right,
so let us discuss what do you make of Jalen
Milroe being compared now, not only to Jalen Hurts of

(13:11):
the Eat Hey Gee El Eat Angels and the ravens
Lamar Jackson added on to that, so what do I
make of it? That is the voodoo Bugaloo is what
that is here. It's a curse. It is Disneyland like
it is fantasy Land is what it is. Jalen Milroe

(13:32):
had a roller coaster, a roller coaster final season at Alabama.
He was erratic, capitally erratic, capitally his performance there and
really a box of chocolates player like a box of
chocolates at Alabama. From week to week, you had no

(13:54):
idea which quarterback was going to show up. Some weeks
he was an impostor some weeks he looked NFL ready
and it was not consistent at all. You never knew
what you were going to get, how he was going
to perform week to we And if you look at
the measurables, he's like a third round pick, third round,

(14:17):
fourth round pick, Jalen Milroe, guy that you draft and
maybe he turns out to be good in a couple
of years. If not no harm, no foul, that's it.
He's got below average height, that's a red flag. He's
in the first percentile, which is not good. By the way,
it sounds good, but it's not first percentile. And hand size,
tiny hands, which likely is why those tiny hands were

(14:42):
responsible for not one, not two, not three, not four,
not five, not six, not seven. How about twenty four
fumbles for our Crimson Tide over the last couple of years,
twenty four that's an average of twelve fumbles against Southeastern
Conference opponents. Methinks that number would guy rocket against NFL opponents,

(15:02):
but what do we know. It is the Benmahlor Show.

what is that? Who's Yes, there's a lot of mail.
It appears to be a lot of mail, like many
many boxes.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
We're actually looking for the scissors.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Somebody stole the scissors, so you're unable to open the box.
I did not I do not have the scissors. I

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Okay, so who would take the scissors?

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Like?

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Who? Who's who? Could possibly need scissors that much that
they would take the scissors? That's a that's a great question.
There's only one pair of scissors. This entire major sports
radio network has one pair of scissors. Yes, and they
and they were they were broken kind of too.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
I might have broken that.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
You might have brought. Well. With all the boxes, you get.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
A tape on these boxes.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Sometimes more people do not want the goodies to fall
out of the box. Do we know? With these boxes?
That were expected? Are these expected bodies? These were expected?
All right? I did get some mail. This is rather
odd speaking of this. I got some mail yesterday and
it was very kind and I want to thank Mark
from Orange Park. Thank you Mark. And my favorite part

(19:27):
of this he sent us Jacksonville jumbo shrimp hats, which
is the he says, your favorite Triple A affiliate in
northeast Florida, and he, you know, gave us all these
hats there. And uh, then the Mark's the guy, he says,

(19:49):
if he says, Justin shall not receive a jumbo shrimp
hat if he is unwilling to wear the Citadel hat
that we sent him a couple of years ago. So
you I do wear the Citadel hat, by the way.
You know that Mark. I met Mark in the Charleston
Meet and Meran. But my favorite part of this is
that these were given to us as a I believe,

(20:13):
like a Christmas care package.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
That's what it says.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yes, yes, it says, yeah, the Christmas care package. It
is late April? Is it not late? I believe it
is late April? Like how where have these where have
these hats been?

Speaker 6 (20:29):
Like?

Speaker 1 (20:29):
How did they fall into a portal?

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Like?

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Is there some kind of demon portal in the mail room?
But I do want to thank Mark. I thank you.
I will add this to my collection, the angry shrimp
hat that I will not kosher by the way, but
I do thank you for the hat. Time to pay

his wife cried when she learned blank. Why cried when

(21:17):
she learned blank? That is the mallor riddle of the day.
What is the answer? Let's see does anyone know the answer?
Page Nan Justin, by the way, says he believes Jason
Smith stole the scissors. He's claiming that happened. Miguel on
five would him, Yeah, it could be. Well, he's a
Mets fan, you know. Miguel on Fire. He doesn't let
anyone know he's a Mets fan. He never likes to

(21:38):
talk about being a Mets fan, or a Knicks fan,
or a Jets fan. They very quiet about it. Miguel
on Fire says she cried when she found out Jerry
was a fan of the oil term gloryhole. Don Juan
says something about Jackie Redman. Who else do we have?

(21:58):
Page down? Donkey Sauces said, Jerry Jones cried when arguing
about peanut butter on a burger. Get very upset about
that page down. She heard one of Angry Bill's phone calls.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Who sent this? Who do we need to thank for this?
The cake benefactor of Yester Oh, the cake Benefactor's back. Yes,
I was very sweet of the cake benefactor. I missed
the cake benefactor. That was a great error on the show.

(25:43):
still need a contested. If I don't get one soon,
we're just gonna blow off too much, not enough, we
won't play the game. So eight seven seven ninety nine,
f Fox, you want to play the game. Let's go
to Greg. Who's in Michigan? What's going on? Greg? Welcome? Hey,
there he is. That's Greg.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
Fifty from Northern Michigan University.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
There you go, hanging out, living large and in charge
hour away from.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Tom Izzo's hometown of Iron Mountain. Tom Mizzo and Steve
bear Euci.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
That's a funn you know what that is. That's a
fun fact. What you just did there is a fun fact.
Oh yeah, fun fact. Yeah. So you are now the
are they the Northern Michigan What are they? The wildcats? Wildcats?
So you go, you got to come up with something
better than wildcats? Dude, right, don't you think that's too generic?
You gotta have something unique to stand out. There's a

(26:32):
lot of wildcats. What would be a good unique name
for Northern Michigan. They must have had a different nickname
did they change it? Really? That's disappointing.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
All right, So you don't think those the Lakers are
going to beat the Timberwolves.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Uh? Well, I did a monologue earlier. I know you've
been on a hole for a while. I'm I'm pulling
for the Minute Soda team. I'm pulling for the Minnesota team.
How about that?

Speaker 6 (27:03):
But no, I like Lebron and that for that reason,
you would and they would have go Minnesota. But I
think he's nicked up a little bit with that groin
injury he got, but he's not forcing the issue at all.
You let Luca take over a little bit and threeves
going a little bit. But when I push comes to shoves,
the Lakers will be fine.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Well, everyone says that they'll be fine. That's usually not
how it works, though, Like you actually have to do
stuff to be fine, Like you just don't.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
Won the first game. When you go twenty one for
uh forty two for the three point line, you aren't
going to lose.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
So that's why Minnesota, Well yeah, I mean, the the
only difference is they missed the wide open shots they
made in Game one. It's not like the Lakers locked
up defensively. There were a bunch of missed three point shots.
Minnesota was five of twenty five from three point land
in the game last night and ofty two.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
So you know you are going to finish for twenty one.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Well yeah, but that's uh yeah, that's true. However, if
you're knowing's it's not like you're getting shut down defense,
you should make more than five. So yeah, what's that?
What's the Let's see what is scary? What do you
think is scared? Let's find out what do we think
is scary?

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Your slipper boy?

Speaker 1 (28:11):
What's Kyrie? Oh? Kyrie? What's scary about Kyrie? There's nothing
scary for well for now, for now he's here. Yeah,
when he plays, he's great. The problem is you don't play.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
For him right here, Clippers are dangerous that he's healthy?

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Got you all right? I got I got a roll.
But thank you Greg again. That's he's right down the
road from Northern Michigan University Wildcats of Northern Michigan. It
is the Ben Malord Show. As we are hanging out
with you and let's play the game. What do you
say it's.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Another Ben Mallard game.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
We've endured too many of these? Is it too much?
Or not enough? Already I'm now four the game of
games here too much or not enough? And we welcome
in our combatant for too much or not enough? Let's
say hello to Alex susan Guardina. Not man well in Guardina.

(29:05):

Good to talk to you, Alex. You're ready to play
the game. What do you do there in Guardina?

Speaker 6 (29:14):
I am an engineer, a stationary engineer for a data center.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Okay, there you go, very cool, and let's have some
fun here and I'll ask you a bunch of questions.
The answers are all too much or not enough? Are
you prepared, Alex? Yes? Okay. We start out with question
num burr, I said numb bur despite enough, despite losing,

(29:39):
Gianni Sai dent to Cuombo because or despite losing, Jan
said I Denta Kuombo became only the seventh player in
NBA history to record thirty points, fifteen rebounds, five assists
on seventy percent field goal shooting in the playoffs. Is
that too much or not enough?

Speaker 6 (29:55):
Not enough? Learn how to win?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Okay? Not enough? Is that right, that is correct. He's
the tenth player in NBA history to do it. Question
number two, good job. McKenzie Gore of the Nationals leaves
baseball with forty strikeouts already this season. Is that too
much or not enough?

Speaker 6 (30:14):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (30:15):
He says? Too much? Let's find out now, believe it
or not not enough? This guy's strung out forty five
times for the Washington Nationals. That's terrible. It's embarrassing, all right.
Question number three. Peyton Pritchard just became the sixth Boston
Celtic player to win sixth Man of the Year. Is
that too much or not enough?

Speaker 6 (30:37):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (30:38):
He says, not enough. Let's fight out. You're in a
slump here. Too much. He's the fourth Celtic player to
win it, joining Malcolm Brogman, Bill Walton and Kevin McHale.
Kevin McHale, So you're one and two. You gotta get
these last two right, You can do it. I believe
in you, Alex. Are you ready? Yes?

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Question number four on too much or not enough? Here
we go. The Clippers center Alansa Zubats has had fifteen
straight double doubles. Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (31:21):
He says, not enough. Let's find out. There you go,
look at that, just like that, you're alive and well.
And it comes down to question number five for Alex.
Very smart man. He's an engineer, lives in Guardina, listens
to overnight talk radio, and let's see if you can win.
Here we go, All right, here we go. There are
currently twelve quarterbacks in the NFL making an average annual

(31:46):

or not enough?

Speaker 6 (31:52):

Speaker 1 (31:53):
All right, let's find out for the win. Here we go.
Oh yeah, yeah, gotta golden tech it you got cats.

Speaker 6 (32:07):

million dollars more. Cold job bout you, Alex. Thank you

the ladies? He's asking about manscaping.

Speaker 5 (34:04):
You know, I think with Dollars Shave Club, yes, I

is the way to go the random. So glad you
mentioned that and me point out this portion of the
show brought to you by Dollar Shave Club your place
to get everything you need to say, smooth and smell
graz Is that what you were getting at?

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Ferg dog rightson says is it okay to wear a
fake wedding ring to get women to flirt with you?

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Oh my gosh, it's weird how that works.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Women want things that they can't have, so when you
have a ring on, it gives the illusion that you
are taken. Thus you are a wanted man. Thus you
are more wanted. I know women who do that too,
but they do it so that they don't get hit on.
Ah see, so it works a little different.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Gotcha, So go down for a dog to the pawn
shop and get to go ahead and get one of
those rings down there, Easy peasy, You're good to go, man,
What more do you need?

Speaker 5 (35:13):
And then tell them that your wife will be home later.
She's gone for the weekend.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, you know exactly, but everything, everything will be good. There,
that's the move to do it. I like it all right?
What else do we have? Late Night Drug Tester says
in honor in honor of a medical lab professionals week,
can you use the words test tube or beaker? Can
I use those words in my pickup lines with the ladies?

(35:38):
So l Randy you think, Late Night Drug Tester, is
there a way to put beaker and test tube in
there and have success into a what like a pickup
line for a woman like you're at a bar? You know, hey,
you really you really got my beaker smiling. I'm thinking
about going over the use.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
Different as all the time, and that way you're not
using dirty.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Words okay, God forbid, don't want to use the dirty.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Dirty words can be you know, a little aggressive.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
I understand. Let's go to the phones and Keg drinking

here of the overlook. I love that beautiful trees in
the background.

Yes, put some thought into wherever you're going to do it.
That sounds beautiful.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
It looks like it's already been done there. But based
on the photo, you.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
Don't have to be original. You just have to be thoughtful, just.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Awful, all right. Queen of Hearts with Loraina Shane in
des Moines writes. In says have you ever been attracted
physically to a teacher or someone that works with your daughter?
My ex was, and it creeped me out. Oh I
am about that.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
You someone who worked with my daughter? No, definitely not
not a teacher. Yes, Oh my gosh. There was this
one teacher back in college and he had the nicest socks.
He the nicest socks. Yeah, like they stuck out.
