That's right chatter. He's gonna retire.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
He hasn't announced his retirement yet, but would Chiefs tight
end Travis Kelcey be worth twenty million dollars a year?
Twenty million dollars a year to be a talking head
on NFL TV broadcast. It's the word on the street.
He's gonna get offered twenty million dollars a year. Also,
where do you file the story that Russell Wilson tore
(00:35):
his hammy and continue to play? The Giants still played
him in the following game. Also did Bears coach Ben
Johnson cross the line by poking fun at the Eagles
and the Packers for resting their starters? Will go there
as well? And a whole bunch more right, Now, make
(00:56):
way clear your ear drums for our number three, big mouth,
big money huh. Welcome in the beginning of another hour

Speaker 1 (01:14):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Ev rewaere me here you there as we enjoy acid
pops from weed Man Hippie.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Unless we don't coast the coast.

this hour. If you stay with us for the full
hour and we'll have Mallard's Mountain of Money that'll be
coming up a little bit later, also the Riddle of
the Day, but we begin with this our lead story
this hour from Casa City. Now, are the Chiefs preparing
(03:02):
for a playoff game?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
No, no, they're not.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
They didn't qualify for the playoffs, so they're not getting
ready for a playf game.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Tight end.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Travis Kelcey the waiting game. Now, I was told by
somebody saying he's make his announcement on his little fledgling
podcast thing. He's gonna do it on his own platform
and all that stuff. It sounds like Kelsey's gonna retire.
I would advise him not to retire, even though he
looks like the kind of guy that should retire. Nonetheless,
(03:28):
he hasn't made the decision. Now, entering the chat, there
are if you have you heard this, No, there are
whispers that Big Television would like to have a word
with Travis Kelcey. Some whispers bouncing around the pinball machine.
The echo chambers say that Travis Kelcey is definitely being
(03:49):
targeted by multiple NFL broadcasters and he would command not
seven figures, eight figures, say what? And Kelsey is looking
for a number one job, a number one color commentator
in the booth, in the booth, and he would get
(04:14):
a salary of somewhere in the neighborhood of ten to
twenty million dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And I know Jerome and Charleston's rolling over right now.
Oh my god, I can't believe they would pay him
that kind up.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
By which, why are we out?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
That's a good jumping off point question. As we discussed
the question, would Travis Kelcey be worth twenty million dollars
a year on your NFL Sunday or Monday broadcast? So
I've got the dark Night Joker, Rhodes scholar, and whale sounds,
(04:51):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have the Goba Ghoul is what
we're going at.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
We have the gob all right.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So first of all, if you look at the malor
scorecard for Travis kelce the short answer, is Travis Kelcey
worth the twenty million dollars a year that he would
like to get? The short answer is no. Now, I'm
a talk shows I have to do a monologue. So
I would like to give you the long version of this,
which is a longer version is still no, it's just
louder so now that that would be my response that
(05:24):
Travis kelce if you put him on television, he would
be one of the biggest boobs on the boob tube.
Not outrageous, not sharp, not funny, just your garden variety meat.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Heead hack. Am I being mean? I don't think I'm
beating me.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I've heard Travis Kelcey a few times. He sounds like
every other ex jock. There's nothing special about Travis Kelcey's
not very entertaining. He's not He's like a walking compression
shirt and there's like a cloud of cologne with a
microphone that rhyme. I'm a poet and I didn't even
know it. But regardless, I understand how this works. I've
(06:06):
been been around a while. I know it's a rig game.
I have friends of mine, believe it or not, that
work behind the scenes in television.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I know the whole deal. And the fix is always
in on these things.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
And it's the networks who all want these guys so
they can bring them to cocktail parties in the Hamptons,
in South Beach and Beverly Hills and show.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Them off to their friends.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I am paying so and so Joe Blow who used
to be good at football, and I'm paying him a
lot of money even though he's bad at broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
But I'm paying him a lot of money. That's why
they do it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
And so Kelsey would not be paid for his insight,
would not And there's a lot of snob appeal with
a guy like Travis Kelsey. Let's be on and he's
writing Shotgun. He's writing Shotgun on the Fame Rocket and
it's being fueled by Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
We all know that.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And so that's it, and that's the currency. That's the
scam Travis Kelsey. He wants to be a number one broadcast.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They're a commentator. So the odds are better than you think.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
If you look at the NFL broadcasters right now, I
don't know if I'm gonna remember all of them, but
Tom Brady's the highest paid NFL commentator on Fox. He's
a pretty baseline wallpaper broadcast. You're special about Tom Brady
on television, And it's not outrageous to think that Tom Brady,
who's just a terrible executive with the Raiders, would if
(07:26):
he really valued that with the Raiders, that he would
leave the broadcast booth and stop that and just go
worry about being better at his NFL executive job. You've
got Tony Romo, who's been accused of napping at CBS,
the Columbia Broadcasting Systems. And you got Troy Aikman, who
desperately wants to be an NFL executive.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's moonlighting with the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Then you got Kirk Herbstreet on Amazon with Al Michaels
and Herbie. As much as he tries, he's doing cosplay.
He's a college football guy masquerading as an NFL broadcaster.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And then you got.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Chris Collinsworth, who's a made man at NBC. He's also
pushing sixty seven, so he's not gonna be doing it
that much longer. It doesn't matter. The networks don't care.
They do not care. The people that run these networks.
They act like the dark Knight joker, burning cash just
to prove they can just burn, burn burn. Now, years ago,
(08:21):
this guy, there was a guy named Howard Kassell. You
probably know who that is, famous sportscaster in his day.
Fifty years ago, Howard coast Cell, and he warned he
was a great visionary.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Howard Coast cell. He warned, very curmudgety kind of a guy.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
But he warned about jockocracy, and that illness continues all
these years later. It has a spell on television executives. Jockocracy.
They're zombie fined by the jockocracy.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now, Secondly, we go to Jersey, we go to New Jersey,
and why do we go to Jersey Because Giants third
string quarterback Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson ruffling some feathers, he claimed.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
At the end of.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
The year meet and greet with the media, Russ claimed
that he tore his hammy, the grade two hamstring injury
the day before the Giants played the Cowboys, not the
game obviously, this last game, but the earlier regular season game,
and then went out and played. He said he injured
in the final practice. He still played, went out, had
(09:25):
a bunch of passing yards, had his greatest game since
he was a Seattle Seahawk, and then got one more
start against Kansas City, and then the Giants finally benched
him for Jackson Dart question, where do you file the
Russell Wilson version of events that he tore his hamstring
and then the Giants still allowed him to play the
(09:48):
following game. So I'm gonna go like, it's the old
school Jeopardy, back when people used to watch Jeopardy. And
I'd like to say, Alex, I'll take things that didn't
happen for a thousand, things that didn't happen for a thousand, ding.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Okay, very good, So, Russell Wilson, this is a fairy
tale with a capital F. Think Jack and the beanstock
is what you ought to think when you think about it, Like,
if you look at this logically, right, and there's a
lot of gullible people that believe everything they're told. But
if Russ really popped a hammy like a bungee cord snap,
(10:25):
and the locker room would have leaked it faster than
a grocery bag with a busted handle, and Russ would
have been the one to leak it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Can you believe that I played? I am not just
a human being. I played with a torn hammy?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Come on? And yet none of that happened. We didn't
get anything.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
We got crickets, no whispers, no breadcrumbs, none of that stuff.
And now, of course, after the season, Russ wants you
to know that he's a modern day Rambo.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is what he did?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Please Russell Wilson, you know what he is. He's a
Rhodes scholar at nonsense.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
He is.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He used to run the Hibachi back in the day,
Flames sizzle, there was a bit of artistry. Never got
to vote for the MVP award, but there were some moments.
He had good games in Seattle and all his stuff.
Now he's rubbing rocks like caveman in the Stone Age,
and he's hoping the spark something. And so what's really
going on here? This is windshield flyer marketing.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
It is.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Let me say this to the media, it'll get repeated.
Please believe I'm injured, not cooked. Please believe that. Next thing,
you know, Sierra will be dropping a sad it's a
sad musical track, and she'll.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Be going on and on about you believe your ears
and don't believe your eyes. Believe your ears.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
So if you're too hurt to play, you tell the traders.
And even in this age of hey, we're worried about this,
that and the other thing, we want you to they're
not going to play. If you're medically cleared, they'll play.
So if Russ injured his hamstring and he was allowed
to play, and he told the medical staff. Now, if
he didn't tell anyone, then the Giants aren't at fault.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's on Russ.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
But if he told someone and then played and was cleared,
that means it wasn't that big a deal.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Had Wilson actually had.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The hammy go whammy, if that had been the place,
he would have been camping out in the injury tent.
You don't rewrite history, so this is not a Wikipedia
edit that we're doing here.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And Russ, I understand what he's doing. I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
He still wants to play, and it was embarrassing if
you watched it in New Year's Eve. They dragged his
ass out there as the plus one for Sierra in
Times Square and there's Russ, third string quarterback for the Giants,
futzing around and all that stuff. But he's trying to
get in. He knows there's a shortage of quarterbacks and
he's just showing them there the dusty clips of the
(12:54):
Sizzle reel when he was Mister Unlimited from the Seattlecux.
He's looking around, He's like, the cults are gonna get quarterback,
the Raiders, the Cardinals, the Vikings. Me, oh my, the
Dolphins are going to bring in a new quarterback. If
Rogers retires, the Steelers will need a new quarterback. Not
that he's going back there. So file this where it belongs. Fiction,
top shelf, fiction, hardcover. All right, now, final thought? Two
(13:19):
shit Cago we go where Ben Johnson is stirring the.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Pot and we love it. We love it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
So the Bears coach Ben Johnson is being accused of
taking shots at the Eagles and the Green Bay Packers,
among others, for resting their starters in week eighteen. Now,
Philadelphia would a leapfrog the Bears had they won their game,
but they played a bunch of scrubs, a bunch of backups,
and they lost to Washington. So Ben Johnson said, quote
(13:49):
some teams rest their starters. We don't we play football
close quote drop the mic and he he walked away.
So this is not the first time that Ben Johnson
has poked the opposition. He's taking some shots at Philly
in the past, but this is a two for one
special the Daily Double taking shots at both Green Bay
(14:12):
and Philadelphia. So question, did Bear's coach did Bears coach
Ben Johnson cross the line by poking the Eagles and
the Packers for resting their starters. So I've got three
words no, no, and you guessed it.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
No, that's right.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
In fact, I'll even shake my head no, even though
it's radio and you can't see, but you can hear.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
My voice.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Sounds a little weird because I'm shaking my head no,
and I'm gonna get dizzy, but no. And I'll even smile. Well,
I shake my head no, because that's where I am.
Ben Johnson did not cross the line. He spray painted
the truth on the wall. Vigilante truth from Ben Johnson.
Some coaches play football, others played day spa manager, all right,
(15:01):
I'm in charge of the day's but some coaches like
to lace them up.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's a slobber knocker.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Others break out the cucumber slices and the whale sounds
so the players can take a nap. It's nap time.
Have a nice nap, and we'll get you some juice
boxes as well. And it's not really trash talk. It's
true and it's the mission statement.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It didn't work out for the Bears because they lost
the game they played against the Lions. When they played
their starters. But this is really a shot at Philadelphia
more than Green Bay. The blue collar grease under the
fingernails while making millions NFL players in general. But a
city like Philadelphia that prides themselves, they love to pump
(15:45):
their chest out about how their blue collar hard hat,
they've got the metal lunch pail, that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And this one landed like a boomerang.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Is where now Nick Siriani in particular, there is coaching scared.
He's a rock paper scissors guy coaching the game.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Like the Eyan.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
There's a porcelain doll and all that stuff, and so
you know, it's just why we'll tuck everyone in. We'll
give them a nice blankie. We'll give them a nice blanky.
There will fluff the pillows for them, and we'll make
sure they're in the day spa and we'll put them
in the sauna and be really nice. We'll get the
manny and the petty, the manny and the petty. We'll
(16:29):
get the mud bath. Got to have the mud bath
and go to the day spat. We'll get the mud bath.
The whole deal, the whole, the whole deal. Uh, and
give me I want to coach and I've been consistent
over the years and never been players that have played
and gotten hurt.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
And I don't care.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I'd rather play the players. And that's it. And you
roll the dice. I want to be with the coach
that rolls the dice, not the one who hides the dice.
And there's a lot of coaches here who hide the dice.
And it's just terrible, absolutely terrible. Mike Singletary said it best.
I want winners. I want people that want to win.
(17:03):
And then the Professor Herm Edwards screamed into eternity, you
play to win the game. And then there's other coaches
that follow our old buddy Jim Morrip, part of the
Fox Alumni Association, his words, we couldn't do Diddley Boo
on offense. And so the bear stumbled. But yet Ben Johnson,
(17:23):
he gets it. It's it's football.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
You're not gonna wrap everyone in bubble wrap, all right?
Is the Ben Mahlor Show.

a football team, not a good one. The Arizona Cardinals
blank went viral on social media on Monday. Andy in
Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says the Cardinals went viral for handing
out juice boxes the players at their last game of

Joy the worst candy bar. Butter Fingers, Baby Ruth, good

says their waterborne made headlines? All right, no, the correct answer.
The Arizona Cardinals football team went viral on Monday. They
had posted a happy birthday post for Jonathan Gannon years
before they fired him.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Now, in defense, I have seen some of the social
media admins for NFL teams. They're all right out of
college and all that, so it's not like the people
that actually know what's going on in the organization are
doing it for They post happy birthday jag for Jonathan Gannon,

out out a long time ago. Yeah, I'm doing okay,
I'm doing okay, all right? Good? Hey, I gotta go
get another blood tails on Thursday, though, I gotta kidney
doctor in a few weeks.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
All right, we'll just keep track of everything, and as
long as you keep track, they'll be Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Wait, what's with the ball players man, thinking that they're
so smart they want to be in the front office. Man,
let me ask youself. You've got the billion their owners,
you know, like Mark Cuban, who's an Indiana graduate and
helped him like Resurgers at their program. The billionaire owners
taking advice from mannaire ball players. I'm a billionaire and
(25:28):
you're a millionnaire. I'm not taking your advice.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Well, the reason there's not, obviously. I mean, these guys
get treated like kings. If you're an executive, you fly first,
you know how, the first class, great foods, everything you need.
The expense accounts are insane, It's wild.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I don't even I don't even watch these korem postgame shows.
You know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I don't either.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I don't either, be honest, I don't even listen to them.
I usually hit the mute button most of the time
because the announcers annoy me. Are you real?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I listened to role model doing the doing their in game.
You know what, noawlys and stuff. I like that.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That's right, Jim, that's right, Jam, all right, Jim, all right, Jim.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
No he does more than that. Don't start that the.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Real quick.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Travis Kelsey look like yourrome where Taylor Swift or Andrew
Rees looked twice at him? Hell no, he wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I don't know what Taylor Swift's attracted to. I have
no idea.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I don't know what's going.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Put some calls on her.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
She's walking around naked, and she's making a lot of
money doing being that being that way, So he's putting
clothes on. There's a lot of money to be made
if you're a good looking woman. And all right, all right,
all right, I gotta go call me again, Drew. I
gotta go, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (26:44):

Thumbs up, thumbs down, Eddie a fan favorite.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Happy New Year. Congratulations Eddie.
Speaker 2 (26:55):

York Giants coaching job, so hopefully you'll be making you
wait to New York to interview for the job. Congratulations,
all right, let's see what we get right. Here we go,
everyone play along thumbs up, thumbs down. It's our favorite
game by a caller from Eddie.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Thank you very much. Okay, college football playoff?
Speaker 9 (27:19):
Right?
Speaker 5 (27:20):
If I unless I'm wrong, I think one of the
teams had twenty eight to twenty six days in between games.
Don't we need to have this like every weekend. I
know it's about the money and the bowls, but the
playoffs need to be every weekend. Thumbs up with thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
No, it's being.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
The reason there's so much money is because of television.
They need that on certain dates. They have to work
it around the NFL schedule. Like there's games on Thursday, right,
because there's no NFL games this week, the plays are
playing on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
So I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Know the thing I would like to change, I'm gonna
go thumbs away thumbs up or I'm gonna go thumbs down.
But the thing they need to change is the transfer portal.
You should not have players during the college football playoff
transfering are going. That's that's really lorrenda thumbs up, thumbs.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
Down, I think we need less games, So I'm gonna
go thumbs.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Down, less games.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Sorry, you don't watch them anyway, Coop busy, he's on
the phone, he's on the What's next, What you got next?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
What's next?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I think you and Koop touched on this a little
earlier in the NFL hardware chance. Do the uprights need
to be brought in for these vehicle pickers don't get
eighty five? It's in accuracy.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, they'll tell me about that. Also, I think if
they just change the balls. They changed the balls the
last couple of years where they have the special kicker ball,
but the players take them home and they like sleep
with the balls and make them to the ball. I mean,
it's a whole thing, you know. And so if they
just stop that, I think this will go back to
(28:51):
kind of the way it was. It's does anyone really
want to watch field goals? So to answer your question,
he said, thumbs up, thumbs down. Do they need to
move the goalposts? Make them smaller? Is always said. I
don't think that's the answer, So I'm gonna go thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Lorena.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
That's a wild statement.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's like, oh, you're doing really good.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
At something that used to be a skilled We're gonna
make it even harder, like no.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
No, but nobody wants this. Coop thumbs up, thumbs comes down,
thumbs down. All right, what's next year? Thumbs up, thumbs
down with Eddie in Charlotte, our buddy Eddie.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Okay, how about this hardware change?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
All right?
Speaker 5 (29:22):
NBA need to raise the rim six inches?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
No they I on't gonna know on that. What they
need to do in the NBA, though.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Is how about this take away the three point shot?
Speaker 6 (29:36):
That?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Oh what would happen? How many guys would retire?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
If they took away the three points?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
They'd be like and you know they'd still be shooting
thirty five foot shots anyway.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, got rid of it.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
They're just that they're addicted to it, you know. But
I'm gonna say no, I'm getting rid of the raising
the rim. Lorena thumbs up them.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
I want it lower because I love when players dunk,
and if you have it lower, more players could do it.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
That's the worst answer possible. Coop thumbs up, thumbs down
and down thumbs down. All right, last one, we'd like
to alert all the affiliates.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Last one. Last one, thumbs up, thumbs down, Eddie, here
we go, here we go.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Bad thumbs up or thumbs down.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Y'all take it easy, all right, thank you, Eddie be Well.
I'm gonna go thumbs down on raisin bread. I'm not
I do not like the raisin. I'll eat the raisin.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Don't like the raisin thumbs down.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
I actually love cinnamon raisin bread, like when it's like
cinnamon swirled into it.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
I think it's really good.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
If I could take out the raisins, I would, but
I'm not against them.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
What I hate the most is the trail mix they
put the raisins in there. It's kind of like how
they put a lot of beans in the Mexican food
because it's cheaper or rice, you know, And I hate
them ras for nutrition, bull crap beans and thumbs up
thumbs down on raisin bread.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
I'm with Lorraina.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
If it's cinnamon raisin bread and you can toast it
and put some some butter on it, but that's.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Just the sugar. You're just enjoying the sugar.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah, thank you, Eddie be Well, My man, that's a

Please help Raid because they didn't have any Tucker for
the for the kicker and before that this kick. It's
of the stupid stuff they did. They should have done,
but they.
Speaker 3 (32:40):

Speaker 10 (32:42):
If they would have had Tucker, they would have made
that field.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
All right, let's get your perspective, helmet man. Right now,
let's answer the burning questions. Do you bring back John Harbaugh?
Speaker 10 (32:54):

Yes or no?
Speaker 4 (33:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Send that out. Coop.
Speaker 2 (33:03):

That's right chatter. He's gonna retire.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
He hasn't announced his retirement yet, but would Chiefs tight
end Travis Kelcey be worth twenty million dollars a year?
Twenty million dollars a year to be a talking head
on NFL TV broadcast. It's the word on the street.
He's gonna get offered twenty million dollars a year. Also,
where do you file the story that Russell Wilson tore
(00:35):

(02:17):
tire rack dot Com the way the tire buying should
be should be. And this portion of the show also
made possible and sponsored by DraftKings sportsbook, unofficial sports betting
partner of the NFL and NBA. Our buddy Danny DeVito
from Boston knows that right now you can use the
promo code Maller m A l l e R to
(02:40):
claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code
Maler at DraftKings. The crown is yours coming up later
this hour. If you stay with us for the full
hour and we'll have Mallard's Mountain of Money that'll be
coming up a little bit later, also the Riddle of
the Day, but we begin with this our lead story
this hour from Casa City. Now, are the Chiefs preparing
(03:02):
for a playoff game?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
No, no, they're not.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
They didn't qualify for the playoffs, so they're not getting
ready for a playf game.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Tight end.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Travis Kelcey the waiting game. Now, I was told by
somebody saying he's make his announcement on his little fledgling
podcast thing. He's gonna do it on his own platform
and all that stuff. It sounds like Kelsey's gonna retire.
I would advise him not to retire, even though he
looks like the kind of guy that should retire. Nonetheless,
(03:28):
he hasn't made the decision. Now, entering the chat, there
are if you have you heard this, No, there are
whispers that Big Television would like to have a word
with Travis Kelcey. Some whispers bouncing around the pinball machine.
The echo chambers say that Travis Kelcey is definitely being
(03:49):
targeted by multiple NFL broadcasters and he would command not
seven figures, eight figures, say what? And Kelsey is looking
for a number one job, a number one color commentator
in the booth, in the booth, and he would get
(04:14):
a salary of somewhere in the neighborhood of ten to
twenty million dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And I know Jerome and Charleston's rolling over right now.
Oh my god, I can't believe they would pay him
that kind up.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
By which, why are we out?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
That's a good jumping off point question. As we discussed
the question, would Travis Kelcey be worth twenty million dollars
a year on your NFL Sunday or Monday broadcast? So
I've got the dark Night Joker, Rhodes scholar, and whale sounds,
(04:51):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have the Goba Ghoul is what
we're going at.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
We have the gob all right.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So first of all, if you look at the malor
scorecard for Travis kelce the short answer, is Travis Kelcey
worth the twenty million dollars a year that he would
like to get? The short answer is no. Now, I'm
a talk shows I have to do a monologue. So
I would like to give you the long version of this,
which is a longer version is still no, it's just
louder so now that that would be my response that
(05:24):
Travis kelce if you put him on television, he would
be one of the biggest boobs on the boob tube.
Not outrageous, not sharp, not funny, just your garden variety meat.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Heead hack. Am I being mean? I don't think I'm
beating me.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I've heard Travis Kelcey a few times. He sounds like
every other ex jock. There's nothing special about Travis Kelcey's
not very entertaining. He's not He's like a walking compression
shirt and there's like a cloud of cologne with a
microphone that rhyme. I'm a poet and I didn't even
know it. But regardless, I understand how this works. I've
(06:06):
been been around a while. I know it's a rig game.
I have friends of mine, believe it or not, that
work behind the scenes in television.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I know the whole deal. And the fix is always
in on these things.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
And it's the networks who all want these guys so
they can bring them to cocktail parties in the Hamptons,
in South Beach and Beverly Hills and show.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Them off to their friends.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I am paying so and so Joe Blow who used
to be good at football, and I'm paying him a
lot of money even though he's bad at broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
But I'm paying him a lot of money. That's why
they do it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
And so Kelsey would not be paid for his insight,
would not And there's a lot of snob appeal with
a guy like Travis Kelsey. Let's be on and he's
writing Shotgun. He's writing Shotgun on the Fame Rocket and
it's being fueled by Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
We all know that.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And so that's it, and that's the currency. That's the
scam Travis Kelsey. He wants to be a number one broadcast.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They're a commentator. So the odds are better than you think.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
If you look at the NFL broadcasters right now, I
don't know if I'm gonna remember all of them, but
Tom Brady's the highest paid NFL commentator on Fox. He's
a pretty baseline wallpaper broadcast. You're special about Tom Brady
on television, And it's not outrageous to think that Tom Brady,
who's just a terrible executive with the Raiders, would if
(07:26):
he really valued that with the Raiders, that he would
leave the broadcast booth and stop that and just go
worry about being better at his NFL executive job. You've
got Tony Romo, who's been accused of napping at CBS,
the Columbia Broadcasting Systems. And you got Troy Aikman, who
desperately wants to be an NFL executive.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's moonlighting with the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Then you got Kirk Herbstreet on Amazon with Al Michaels
and Herbie. As much as he tries, he's doing cosplay.
He's a college football guy masquerading as an NFL broadcaster.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And then you got.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Chris Collinsworth, who's a made man at NBC. He's also
pushing sixty seven, so he's not gonna be doing it
that much longer. It doesn't matter. The networks don't care.
They do not care. The people that run these networks.
They act like the dark Knight joker, burning cash just
to prove they can just burn, burn burn. Now, years ago,
(08:21):
this guy, there was a guy named Howard Kassell. You
probably know who that is, famous sportscaster in his day.
Fifty years ago, Howard coast Cell, and he warned he
was a great visionary.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Howard Coast cell. He warned, very curmudgety kind of a guy.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
But he warned about jockocracy, and that illness continues all
these years later. It has a spell on television executives. Jockocracy.
They're zombie fined by the jockocracy.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now, Secondly, we go to Jersey, we go to New Jersey,
and why do we go to Jersey Because Giants third
string quarterback Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson ruffling some feathers, he claimed.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
At the end of.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
The year meet and greet with the media, Russ claimed
that he tore his hammy, the grade two hamstring injury
the day before the Giants played the Cowboys, not the
game obviously, this last game, but the earlier regular season game,
and then went out and played. He said he injured
in the final practice. He still played, went out, had
(09:25):
a bunch of passing yards, had his greatest game since
he was a Seattle Seahawk, and then got one more
start against Kansas City, and then the Giants finally benched
him for Jackson Dart question, where do you file the
Russell Wilson version of events that he tore his hamstring
and then the Giants still allowed him to play the
(09:48):
following game. So I'm gonna go like, it's the old
school Jeopardy, back when people used to watch Jeopardy. And
I'd like to say, Alex, I'll take things that didn't
happen for a thousand, things that didn't happen for a thousand, ding.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Okay, very good, So, Russell Wilson, this is a fairy
tale with a capital F. Think Jack and the beanstock
is what you ought to think when you think about it, Like,
if you look at this logically, right, and there's a
lot of gullible people that believe everything they're told. But
if Russ really popped a hammy like a bungee cord snap,
(10:25):
and the locker room would have leaked it faster than
a grocery bag with a busted handle, and Russ would
have been the one to leak it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Can you believe that I played? I am not just
a human being. I played with a torn hammy?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Come on? And yet none of that happened. We didn't
get anything.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
We got crickets, no whispers, no breadcrumbs, none of that stuff.
And now, of course, after the season, Russ wants you
to know that he's a modern day Rambo.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is what he did?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Please Russell Wilson, you know what he is. He's a
Rhodes scholar at nonsense.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
He is.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He used to run the Hibachi back in the day,
Flames sizzle, there was a bit of artistry. Never got
to vote for the MVP award, but there were some moments.
He had good games in Seattle and all his stuff.
Now he's rubbing rocks like caveman in the Stone Age,
and he's hoping the spark something. And so what's really
going on here? This is windshield flyer marketing.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
It is.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Let me say this to the media, it'll get repeated.
Please believe I'm injured, not cooked. Please believe that. Next thing,
you know, Sierra will be dropping a sad it's a
sad musical track, and she'll.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Be going on and on about you believe your ears
and don't believe your eyes. Believe your ears.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
So if you're too hurt to play, you tell the traders.
And even in this age of hey, we're worried about this,
that and the other thing, we want you to they're
not going to play. If you're medically cleared, they'll play.
So if Russ injured his hamstring and he was allowed
to play, and he told the medical staff. Now, if
he didn't tell anyone, then the Giants aren't at fault.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's on Russ.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
But if he told someone and then played and was cleared,
that means it wasn't that big a deal.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Had Wilson actually had.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The hammy go whammy, if that had been the place,
he would have been camping out in the injury tent.
You don't rewrite history, so this is not a Wikipedia
edit that we're doing here.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And Russ, I understand what he's doing. I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
He still wants to play, and it was embarrassing if
you watched it in New Year's Eve. They dragged his
ass out there as the plus one for Sierra in
Times Square and there's Russ, third string quarterback for the Giants,
futzing around and all that stuff. But he's trying to
get in. He knows there's a shortage of quarterbacks and
he's just showing them there the dusty clips of the
(12:54):
Sizzle reel when he was Mister Unlimited from the Seattlecux.
He's looking around, He's like, the cults are gonna get quarterback,
the Raiders, the Cardinals, the Vikings. Me, oh my, the
Dolphins are going to bring in a new quarterback. If
Rogers retires, the Steelers will need a new quarterback. Not
that he's going back there. So file this where it belongs. Fiction,
top shelf, fiction, hardcover. All right, now, final thought? Two
(13:19):
shit Cago we go where Ben Johnson is stirring the.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Pot and we love it. We love it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
So the Bears coach Ben Johnson is being accused of
taking shots at the Eagles and the Green Bay Packers,
among others, for resting their starters in week eighteen. Now,
Philadelphia would a leapfrog the Bears had they won their game,
but they played a bunch of scrubs, a bunch of backups,
and they lost to Washington. So Ben Johnson said, quote
(13:49):
some teams rest their starters. We don't we play football
close quote drop the mic and he he walked away.
So this is not the first time that Ben Johnson
has poked the opposition. He's taking some shots at Philly
in the past, but this is a two for one
special the Daily Double taking shots at both Green Bay
(14:12):
and Philadelphia. So question, did Bear's coach did Bears coach
Ben Johnson cross the line by poking the Eagles and
the Packers for resting their starters. So I've got three
words no, no, and you guessed it.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
No, that's right.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
In fact, I'll even shake my head no, even though
it's radio and you can't see, but you can hear.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
My voice.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Sounds a little weird because I'm shaking my head no,
and I'm gonna get dizzy, but no. And I'll even smile. Well,
I shake my head no, because that's where I am.
Ben Johnson did not cross the line. He spray painted
the truth on the wall. Vigilante truth from Ben Johnson.
Some coaches play football, others played day spa manager, all right,
(15:01):
I'm in charge of the day's but some coaches like
to lace them up.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's a slobber knocker.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Others break out the cucumber slices and the whale sounds
so the players can take a nap. It's nap time.
Have a nice nap, and we'll get you some juice
boxes as well. And it's not really trash talk. It's
true and it's the mission statement.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It didn't work out for the Bears because they lost
the game they played against the Lions. When they played
their starters. But this is really a shot at Philadelphia
more than Green Bay. The blue collar grease under the
fingernails while making millions NFL players in general. But a
city like Philadelphia that prides themselves, they love to pump
(15:45):
their chest out about how their blue collar hard hat,
they've got the metal lunch pail, that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And this one landed like a boomerang.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Is where now Nick Siriani in particular, there is coaching scared.
He's a rock paper scissors guy coaching the game.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Like the Eyan.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
There's a porcelain doll and all that stuff, and so
you know, it's just why we'll tuck everyone in. We'll
give them a nice blankie. We'll give them a nice blanky.
There will fluff the pillows for them, and we'll make
sure they're in the day spa and we'll put them
in the sauna and be really nice. We'll get the
manny and the petty, the manny and the petty. We'll
(16:29):
get the mud bath. Got to have the mud bath
and go to the day spat. We'll get the mud bath.
The whole deal, the whole, the whole deal. Uh, and
give me I want to coach and I've been consistent
over the years and never been players that have played
and gotten hurt.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
And I don't care.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I'd rather play the players. And that's it. And you
roll the dice. I want to be with the coach
that rolls the dice, not the one who hides the dice.
And there's a lot of coaches here who hide the dice.
And it's just terrible, absolutely terrible. Mike Singletary said it best.
I want winners. I want people that want to win.
(17:03):
And then the Professor Herm Edwards screamed into eternity, you
play to win the game. And then there's other coaches
that follow our old buddy Jim Morrip, part of the
Fox Alumni Association, his words, we couldn't do Diddley Boo
on offense. And so the bear stumbled. But yet Ben Johnson,
(17:23):
he gets it. It's it's football.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
You're not gonna wrap everyone in bubble wrap, all right?
Is the Ben Mahlor Show.

now for the Mallard riddle Today the Arizona Cardinals. That's
(19:44):
a football team, not a good one. The Arizona Cardinals
blank went viral on social media on Monday. Andy in
Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says the Cardinals went viral for handing
out juice boxes the players at their last game of
the season. Well, no, Andy, the old coach Cliff Kingsbury
remember he had social media breaks and gave out juice
(20:05):
boxes when he was coaching the cart So that did happen?
What else do we have? It's a year I didn't
hear the riddle, but I'll say butter Fingers is the
worst candy bar. That's a bad take by you. Almond
Joy the worst candy bar. Butter Fingers, Baby Ruth, good
combo there, you do not need the Almond Joy. I
(20:26):
got into an argument with one of my wife's friends
who loves Almond Joy, guy named Reggie.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
He was very upset that I pointed out, did.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
You tell her you can't be friends anymore?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well, I said that this is the last candy standing
and when I was a kid, was always Almond Joy
and he got.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Upset by that. Ferg Dog says.

Pugs the Cat. Interesting eating twinkies from JT the Wingman.
That's his answer. Mike the Leprechaun from Boston says the
Cardinals hired an exorcist to forget about their season. Interesting
a security blanket went viral from Hugh on the Five.
(21:40):
That's his answer. What else here, Milkman, Mike and Colorado
says their waterborne made headlines? All right, no, the correct answer.
The Arizona Cardinals football team went viral on Monday. They
had posted a happy birthday post for Jonathan Gannon years
before they fired him.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Now, in defense, I have seen some of the social
media admins for NFL teams. They're all right out of
college and all that, so it's not like the people
that actually know what's going on in the organization are
doing it for They post happy birthday jag for Jonathan Gannon,
and of course that went viral as the day later

long as you keep track, they'll be Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Wait, what's with the ball players man, thinking that they're
so smart they want to be in the front office. Man,
let me ask youself. You've got the billion their owners,
you know, like Mark Cuban, who's an Indiana graduate and
helped him like Resurgers at their program. The billionaire owners
taking advice from mannaire ball players. I'm a billionaire and
(25:28):
you're a millionnaire. I'm not taking your advice.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Well, the reason there's not, obviously. I mean, these guys
get treated like kings. If you're an executive, you fly first,
you know how, the first class, great foods, everything you need.
The expense accounts are insane, It's wild.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I don't even I don't even watch these korem postgame shows.
You know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I don't either.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I don't either, be honest, I don't even listen to them.
I usually hit the mute button most of the time
because the announcers annoy me. Are you real?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I listened to role model doing the doing their in game.
You know what, noawlys and stuff. I like that.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That's right, Jim, that's right, Jam, all right, Jim, all right, Jim.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
No he does more than that. Don't start that the.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Real quick.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Travis Kelsey look like yourrome where Taylor Swift or Andrew
Rees looked twice at him? Hell no, he wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I don't know what Taylor Swift's attracted to. I have
no idea.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I don't know what's going.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Put some calls on her.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
She's walking around naked, and she's making a lot of
money doing being that being that way, So he's putting
clothes on. There's a lot of money to be made
if you're a good looking woman. And all right, all right,
all right, I gotta go call me again, Drew. I
gotta go, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Is Eddie in North Carolina. We go from South Carolina
to North Carolina. Eddi's in Charlotte. I believe Hello Eddie.
Thumbs up, thumbs down, Eddie a fan favorite.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Happy New Year. Congratulations Eddie.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I've been told you are a candidate for the New
York Giants coaching job, so hopefully you'll be making you
wait to New York to interview for the job. Congratulations,
all right, let's see what we get right. Here we go,
everyone play along thumbs up, thumbs down. It's our favorite
game by a caller from Eddie.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Thank you very much. Okay, college football playoff?
Speaker 9 (27:19):
Right?
Speaker 5 (27:20):
If I unless I'm wrong, I think one of the
teams had twenty eight to twenty six days in between games.
Don't we need to have this like every weekend. I
know it's about the money and the bowls, but the
playoffs need to be every weekend. Thumbs up with thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
No, it's being.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
The reason there's so much money is because of television.
They need that on certain dates. They have to work
it around the NFL schedule. Like there's games on Thursday, right,
because there's no NFL games this week, the plays are
playing on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
So I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Know the thing I would like to change, I'm gonna
go thumbs away thumbs up or I'm gonna go thumbs down.
But the thing they need to change is the transfer portal.
You should not have players during the college football playoff
transfering are going. That's that's really lorrenda thumbs up, thumbs.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
Down, I think we need less games, So I'm gonna
go thumbs.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Down, less games.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Sorry, you don't watch them anyway, Coop busy, he's on
the phone, he's on the What's next, What you got next?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
What's next?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I think you and Koop touched on this a little
earlier in the NFL hardware chance. Do the uprights need
to be brought in for these vehicle pickers don't get
eighty five? It's in accuracy.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, they'll tell me about that. Also, I think if
they just change the balls. They changed the balls the
last couple of years where they have the special kicker ball,
but the players take them home and they like sleep
with the balls and make them to the ball. I mean,
it's a whole thing, you know. And so if they
just stop that, I think this will go back to
(28:51):
kind of the way it was. It's does anyone really
want to watch field goals? So to answer your question,
he said, thumbs up, thumbs down. Do they need to
move the goalposts? Make them smaller? Is always said. I
don't think that's the answer, So I'm gonna go thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Lorena.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
That's a wild statement.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's like, oh, you're doing really good.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
At something that used to be a skilled We're gonna
make it even harder, like no.

need to do in the NBA, though.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
They'd be like and you know they'd still be shooting
thirty five foot shots anyway.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, got rid of it.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
They're just that they're addicted to it, you know. But
I'm gonna say no, I'm getting rid of the raising
the rim. Lorena thumbs up them.
