Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka laka. It's our number birth three, our number three.
Happy Friday to you. It's your friend Ben. Here. The
podcast is yours right now on this Friday, the twenty
fifth day of April. And so back to the NFL draft,
the very top cam Ward was picked. Does cam Ward
(00:20):
qualify as a quote exciting close quote number one pick
for the Titans. We'll discuss that. Also a lot of
chatter that the Giants tried to trade off to get
the number one pick. And so the question how does
this report about the Giants trying to deal for that
top pick and cam Ward sound to you? Got a
(00:43):
conspiracy theory I want to share with the class. We'll
get to that. And the Giants did make a trade.
They traded back into the draft to take Jackson Dart
of Old miss What does that trade mean for the Giants.
We'll talk about that and much more right now here.
It is our and lame jokes, our number three remember
(01:07):
the Titans. Yeah, welcome, in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air
everywhere co mingling as we know. Air is our canvas.
That's right, it's our audio canvas. Coast to coast sport

way the tire buying shore. So our lead this out,
we'll get back to our roots. The NFL draft in
Green Bay, beautiful green So the draft we talked to
earlier about Travis Hunter that the big headline is Shredeur
Sanders wasn't picked. But there's something very odd that happened.
(02:37):
Now For some the NFL draft is just a long,
slow moving event where the commissioner sits up there. We
didn't sit. He walks up on the stage very dramatically,
and it's either he or as underlings, and they walk
up to the podium and just read names, which at
its essence is what the NFL Draft is now for others,
it's a wonderfully crafted TV show that provides chaos and
(03:02):
shocking moments and big surprises, the human drama of names
being called. Now, there was no surprise at the number one.
If you didn't watch it, perhaps not. There's also something
else that's a problem here, I'll explain in a minute.
(03:23):
But to kick off the twenty twenty five NFL Draft,
the Tennessee football team that calls themselves the Titans made
their selection. They took Miami quarterback cam Ward with the
top pick. He was the first name selected in the
twenty twenty five draft, cam Ward. So let us discuss
the question does cam Ward qualify as a quote exciting,
(03:50):
exciting selection? Does that count? I mean for the Tennessee Times. Now,
I've got Joe Walsh, cigarette lighter, and donk and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to saddle up, is what we're going to do. So,
first of all, to answer the question, does cam Ward
(04:11):
qualify as a quote exciting close quote, top pick in
the draft of the Titans. I think by asking the
question it is a rhetorical question. The answer is obviously not.
This is an unremarkable, unremarkable selection. The fact that it's
getting no no buzz and cam Ward doesn't make you tingle.
(04:35):
He doesn't. Normally, if you're the top player in the draft,
it is knee pad territory. It's slabber, slaber, slabery, slobber. Now,
the Titans are hoping that by picking a quarterback in
the first round, it'll be different than the previous times.
They're hoping the third, the third go round is the charm.
(04:57):
This will be the third first round quarterback that has
been picked in fifteen drafts. Now, normally you pick a quarterback,
you're like, oh, that's our guy for ten years. That's
our guy for ten years. Not so much now. I
don't know anyone that watched cam Ward play at Miami
(05:18):
or previously at Washington State who said, man, this guy's
got that number one pedigree. He's a prodigy. He was
a zero star recruit coming out of high school, so
he overcame the odds. Good for him. He's worked himself
into what I consider a fair to middling prospect, and
a prospect is a suspect and feel proven otherwise. But
(05:39):
he's got below average height. That's why he was a
zero star recruit by NFL standards. Commonplace you look at
his college career, he struggled quite a bit at sack avoidance.
In fact, his career pressure rate was over twenty percent.
A lot of mistakes, a lot of mistakes. Now, for example,
(06:02):
is it true that cam Ward cam Ward has a
turnover worthy play rate of three percent? And he had
that every season of his career. Now, the most damning
thing I could find on cam Ward. He finished his
career in turnover worthy play rate with the same number
(06:27):
as Will Levis, the Mayo man, Will Levis from Kentucky.
How's that working out for the Tennessee Titans. So we
can say right now that Tennessee loves stumblebump quarterbacks. They
love stumblebump quarterbacks. And cam Ward, even if you think
he's got the ability and there are some things that
he does well, he is certainly not being set up
for success. This old coach from years ago, Bill Walsh,
(06:51):
was a legend in his day, and he talked about
how it takes a whole community to raise a quarterback properly. Well,
you've got a NEPO coach in Calum Hand. You've got
Calvin Ridley, who's elite at gambling, Van Jefferson who's a journeyman,
and Tyler Lockett, who's washed up. Those are your top receivers.
(07:12):
So there's not a lot there there in that case. Now,
what are the chances that cam Ward, after I've just
buried him, what are the chances that cam Woard becomes
a first team All Pro quarterback in the NFL? Now,
one point we used to say, what are the odds
you become a Pro Bowl quarterback? And then the NFL decided,
(07:34):
and really it was the players of the NFL that
the Pro Bowl didn't matter anymore, so let's just play
tic tac toe. And they got rid of the Pro Bowl.
So now it's it's play grab ass on a beach somewhere.
So forget that. But what are the chances Camboard becomes
a first team All Pro? Because that that still matters,
that means something. So I'm going to go, based on
a minutes long investigation using malarmath zero zero zero zero
(07:58):
zero point one, that the chances of cam Ward becoming
a first team All Pro despite being drafted at the
very top of the draft. Zero zero zero zero zero
point one. That's it now, Warren Moon did not do it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Warren Moon was a Hall of Fame player, did not
ever become a first team All Pro for the old
Houston Oilers Love Me Blue. Steve Air McNair was never
a first team All probably won an MVP. The late
Steve McNair. The franchise, going back to its roots in Houston,
has had one one quarterback reached that mark, and that
(08:36):
was in nineteen sixty one, George Blanda, George Blanda, and
that was sixty almost sixty five years ago. And he
was also a kicker. So the hope, if you're a
Tennessee and if you're one of our guys in Nashville
where our gals in Nashville, the hope is that cam
Ward can turn into a Joe wall Song, just an
(09:00):
ordinary average guy. You would take that right now if
I say I have this magic bean, and if you
eat the magic bean, that cam Ward will turn out
to be an average NFL starting quarterback. Now, if you
don't take it, maybe cam Ward will turn out to
be an All Pro and maybe he won't. Would you
(09:25):
take the magic bean if it guaranteed that he would
be an ordinary average guy? Not what you normally want
from the top pick. Now, that said, it has been
a few years since the Titans have actually had an
average quarterback, So you can you can win with average.
I guess the comp is got. It's gotta be like
(09:46):
Jared Goff. Jared Goff was a the number one pick
in the draft. He's average. Jared Goff's average. He chokes
in big games. He's average, and the Lions think every
year they can win because they have Jared Goup. But
he's average all right.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Secondly, a lot of chatter, a lot of chat at
that the Giants tried to trade up to get that
number one pick to draft Miami quarterback. Now, now we
are told the Giants offered the number three pick. They're
twenty twenty six first round that's right there, twenty twenty
(10:17):
six first round pick and other picks to get that
top pick. Now, so Tennessee did not obviously complete the deal.
They drafted the player. Based on the breathless reporting, it
was never going to happen. They were never going to
trade that pick. Ever, so, how does this report about
(10:38):
the Giants trying to deal up to get that top
pick and cam Ward sound to you? So it sounds
to me like a cigarette lighter story, meaning that the
Tennessee Titans have taken out the cigarette lighter and they're
trying to light the gaslight. They're gaslighting everybody, strategically leaking
(10:58):
and beellishing the off for cam Ord, looking to boost
the hype around a rather bland pick that doesn't get
your blood flowing. And if the Giants really made a
sweetheart offer to get the player, they would have gotten
the player. Like you don't hold on tight to cam Ord.
He's a slap hitter. He's not a home run hitter.
(11:19):
He's a singles hitter. You don't hit home runs. Maybe
he'll turn out to be a doubles hitter and a
gap hitter, but right now he's a singles hitter. All
right now, final fun. So the Giants said, he said, well,
they did make a try bend, that's right. The Giants
did end up trading their way back into the first round.
They selected old miss and former USC quarterback Jackson Dart
(11:41):
with the number twenty five overall pick in last night draft.
This after they took the Penn State rusher Abdul Carter
at number three overall. Number three, so New York acquired
the twenty fifth pick from Houston. I know, mister Irrigation
is up in arms over this to secure the quarterback
(12:03):
they think is the next big thing. And they sent
the Texans a second round pick, the thirty fourth overall pick,
and a third round pick as well in next year's draft.
So the Texans traded out of the first round and
they traded back nine picks and they got an extra
third round pick. Not nearly as good as what the
(12:24):
Rams did with their trade. So what does the Rams
traded to Atlanta? They traded out of the first round
as well, So what does the Jackson Dark trade mean
for the Giants? So Brian Dable the coach, they wrote ton,
I guess you lost weight. He's not fat anymore. But
Brian Dable the coach is playing with donkeys. He is
(12:48):
playing with donkeys. It's pin the dart on the donkey,
not the tail pin. The dart on the donkey is
what it is. If I am not mistake, this is
a make or break year for Brian Dable and Joe
Shane the GM there, and I love the Abdul Carter pick.
I think that's a wonderful pick. Great, wonderful all that stuff. However,
(13:12):
you drafted and traded up to get this guy, Jackson Dart,
and he's a developmental player, and you've got one year
left to make make some noise or you're gonzo. That's it.
Get out of here, pack your back, get the U haul.
And you look at Dart and we saw him play
(13:32):
Old Miss played some big games in the Southeastern Conference,
you know, last year, and Dart really came up small
in a lot of those big games. He's got good accuracy.
He's not someone that's considered elite. And here's another player
that the argument, much like Shadu Sanders. The argument against
Shader Sanders is not only is he a douche, but
(13:53):
he was coached up at Colorado, that it was a scheme.
He's a he was a scheme player. And that's the
same art with this player, Jackson Dart. That the Lane
Kiffin Old Miss offense coached him up and that most
of the production it was throwing to wide open space
or one on one matchups, and it wasn't the type
(14:14):
of game that you'll have in the NFL. He also
had too many interception worthy throws. Even with that, another
guy that has a very high pressure to rate the
sack rate last couple of years is not good. And
a player that was projected as a mid third round
pick goes in the first round and you trade it
up to get the player he's projected as a low
(14:36):
end starter or a high end backup, and that's the
guy that you went out you had to get. What
is that all about? It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
As we are working our way through the overnight hours,
we have lame jokes of the week that'll be coming

gas Baggerye, well that's right and it is I Ben.
As we roll through the Overnight, I gotta pay off
the Mallor Riddle of the day. Before we pay off
the Mallor Riddle of the day. A couple of things here.
We had a fashion faux Paul we need to get to.
(18:42):
So Adam Schefter is being called out for his attire
at the NFL Draft jefty cheft he had if you're
watching the TV broadcast, he had the the suit, but
he had underneath he had the the hoodie. He had
(19:02):
the so we had a tie. He had the white
shirt with the tie, the jacket, the sports coat, but
then in between the white shirt and the jacket, he
had a hoodie. It was not a good look. It
was not I guess this has become Is this apparently trendy?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Am?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I am? I? I don't know what the trends are?
Is that? Is that something that's popular now? That's the
first time I've seen of it. I'm told that the
former ram offensive lineman who's on Amazon does that. Sometimes
I don't know a guy's name, but yeah, okay, did
you see this, Lorena? Did you see the outfit?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
The I'm having Coop pull it up for me.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, a question for you, Yes, Loraina, Loraina has a question.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Okay, what did you wear to work today?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
What did I wear to work? I have a I
have a a b hat that's my uniform b hat,
and then I have kind of a gray like a
long sleeve shirt and some pants. That's what I want. Well,
you know.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Honestly, I don't think this is a bad look for
my low iron batties out there who run on the
cold side. He looks like he's cozy, he's not sweating,
he's not pulling a Gottlieb like.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
He looks real nice.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I think he looks together. It almost looks like one
of those fancy people. Like if it didn't have a hood,
it would look like one of those sweaters, like a
sweater vest.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Well, yeah, if it was a sweater, then it would
look good. That's that's the whole point, is that the
hood looks ridiculous. Yeah, it's unnecessary unless you're gonna have
the hood on. Like if he had done the broadcast
with the hood that would have been fun. But he
didn't have the hood on. Like if you just hey, everybody,
it's Adam Scheffer. I got a hoodie on right now,
that would have been fine, but he chose not to
(20:51):
do it. Is he is?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
He is he dressing for a formal event or a workout.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
It is? It is, And it's also it's it was
like fifty degrees or something like that. That's not that bad,
right for green Bay color coordinated.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It's got the blue on the blue.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Eh, not a good look. It's not a good look anyway,
whatever fashion faul pot Time Now for the Mallor riddle
of the day. Here it is Texas offensive tackle Kelvin
Banks Juniors baby stole the spotlight after he was drafted
by the Saints because of blank. Because of blank, that
(21:31):
is the Malard riddle of the day. What is the answer?
Econ Roseville, Minnesota said, because of cowboy boots. Mister Luciano
is up late with us? Says the baby was eating
gumbo soup. Mallard prop guy says his lebron James Aerosol
hair spray began melting and leaking. Is the answer? What
(21:54):
do we have? Chris in Kent, Washington said the baby
stole the show with his oversize padonka donk okay? What
else do we have? The saw man says in Mississippi
when he loaded up his diaper is the answer? Scrooge says,
because he was a member of the mal Or Militia
alf the alien opiner. Because of his mel kiper junior
(22:18):
cosplay outfit. Because of the baby tattoos the kid had
from ferg Dog. What else do we have here? Page
down Milkman Mike and Colorado cheated, got it right? Batch
up by the Milkman choice of milk guest by Late
night drug tester. Who else do we have look like
(22:40):
an alien guest by Dante because of his stock portfolio
from Trucker Joe cowboy boots guests by as we mentioned Ike,
Who else do we have? Page down? I think that's enough.
Do you have an answer, Lorraine? Yes?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
I think he saw a show with his impressive calf muscles.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Okay, impressive calf muscles incorrect. Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks
Junior's baby stole the spotlight after he was drafted by
the Saints because of vomit. The kid immediately threw up
right after his dad had been kicked by the New
Orleans Saints. That kid must have watched some Saints games
(23:22):
last year. That's why there you go. By the way
Josh points out, it was Andrew Whitworth, who is the
King of the hoodie on TV. But he's just like
a big ugly guy, Andrew Whitworth. When you're a big
ugly guy, you can do it like that. You're supposed
to do it because those standards, there is a double standard.
(23:42):
There's a lot of double standards in life. That's what
life is, double standards. All life is double standards. Anyway,
let's take some calls. We have lame jokes of the
week that'll be coming up a little bit later on
this hour Big Ben's lame jokes of the week. Let's
say hello to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Hello, Andre, welcome, Ill Ben, good morning, Uh, thank you
so much for taking the call. Listen, lame jokes.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I don't believe it. I don't believe that we have.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Every joke on the Malice Ben Mallie Show has to
be engaging, insightful, humorous, uproary. So I don't know if
that we have laane jokes on this show. I'm gonna
have to push back a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
On the speaking of.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Pushing back, Ben, listen, what happened with this Shador Sanders situation.
They had the house decked out, as you're saying, all right,
we got legendary all over the place, we got special
rooms for this, special rooms for that, you know, and
it was, you know, it was a quiet night in Canton, Texas,
just to say the least. But the fact of the
(24:40):
matter is this from Shador Sanders standpoint, I think this
is a blessing in the side.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
This guy's a great gift.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
He's not the same as Lamar Jackson, not even close.
But the fact of the matter is, I live a
bit disrespect, but you got to internalize all the feelings
being that player. You know, it's happened before. I'm not
saying that's your door, Sanders. These are the same pedigree
as and Aaron Rodgers who had to wait, and obviously
Lamar Jackson, but it could this could be what he
(25:10):
needed to give him that extra fire, motivation, determination so
that when he gets from the NFL and it's looking
like he's going to be a backup, right okay, so
to be able to work his way into possibly into
a starting job and to really give himself a shot.
So right now, all eyes run him. It's decidedly different
than being because I believe he was right up there.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
With the n I L.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
You know, bron he had it one year. I think
he was, you know, got the most money from n
I L of any player in college sports. So he
had this, you know, very you know.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
It was a privileged privilege.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Might might might not be the right word, but don't
stand I'm saying in terms of his college career, he got,
he got, you know, a lot of doors open for him,
and then you get to the NFL and he you know,
he missed out in the first round. A lot of speculation,
a lot of attention is not the kind of attention
that you want. But that's what you need, is my point, okay,
to to be successful where he's going. I don't know
if had he been top pick in starting quarterback, that
(26:07):
might not have been the best journey for him, because
that's really been his entire life journey up to this point.
So before you jump in at your show, of course.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yes, I know we are listening to a live coverage.
This is Andre in the Commonwealth providing blow by blow coverage.
And I believe you were trying to clean up a mess.
There's a spill on Aisle seven, the Shudur Sanders spill
on Aisle seven. Bring the mind, and you were trying
to facilitate this into a positive not a negative. The
fact that two months ago it was like Shoulder Sanders's
(26:37):
going to be the number two or number three pick
in the draft, and now he wasn't even taken in
the first round. And the guy that was picked at
the top pick was a zero star recruit out of
high school, and the other guy that was picked bounced
around college. Of course, Shoulder Sanders bounced around as well,
but Jackson Dart was supposed to be a third round
(26:59):
pick and was drafted in the first round. That's not
that's not a good look. Not good look look.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
And the Giants they traded up, and a lot of
people thought they were trading up. Okay, now it's gonna
be Sador's moment.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
You know that.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I'll make it. I'll make a deal with you. I'm
gonna make a deal with Deandres because the Cleveland Browns
have the first pick today in the second round and
a lot of a lot of chatter that he'll be
picked first or in the top ten in the second round.
So if he ends up in Cleveland, then what have
you really accomplished? Nothing? Right, You're still going to a
terrible team and all that. So we'll see what happens.
But if he if he does end up with a
(27:30):
team that's perceived to be good, like God forbid, the
Rams drafted him or something like that, and they just
want to play him as a backup for a couple
of years and then plug him in, then we can
revisit this. But he's still likely to get drafted by
the Saints or the Browns or the Raiders or some
terrible team like that.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Sure, I don't know, like you know, coming from the Commonwealth,
Ben it wasn't it was a good thing that Tom Brady.
We're not gonna make a one to one comparison. But
he sat for the year and then he developed name one.
I don't know if you're saying it is ready to
be thrown in the fire from day one, even if
he was at first round pick. I think he needs
to develop. He needs to go someplace. He needs to
get out of the limelight, get better, and get a
(28:10):
stump up to being an NFL quarterback visa Vidia the
other situation.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
So I am trying to.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Spin it into a positive. I don't want this to
be a flame out, disastrous situation where you just go
from worse to worse, you know, But Tudor, welcome to
the NFL. It's not gonna go how you you want
it to be. But take that, use that and to
be successful. Rather than getting into the hole back and forth,
hit for stats. That's not going to serve him well.
It turns me. Well, I'm throwed to be on the
(28:35):
mallin Melitiais show. It's vacation, so Ben, I'm still gonna
be here when you get back for the next week.
Not as much, but we're gonna be. We're gonna be
checking to get that mount in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
All right? We all week, all week with Andre. Thank you, Andre,
will is sleeping. Let's say hello to Tony in La.
What's going on Tony in La? Welcome hey, Ben.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
I heard that this has been a pad or for
the Giants to recruit Old Miss players because it's either
the owner's daughter or the general manager's daughters like alumni
booster for Old Miss. And if Dark needs Kiffin's scheme,
then they're trying to recruit Kiffin to get this their
coaching bringing Kiffin, It's obvious they want to know.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I like that. That's good. That's good. That's a good conspiracy.
So Lane Kiffen, who failed with the Raiders years ago,
next head coach of the Giants, lay, I like that,
Tony good thing.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
One more thing, whoever wants your door, they're going to
have to offer Deonn a job. That's why they're they're
got to wait for somebody's willing to give see Deon
Sanders a job.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Okay, well we'll see all right. Good the little nuggets
from Tony, Tony the nuggets man, Thank you, Tony. Let's
go to Blind Scott, who's striking against the show on
the North end of Boston.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
The strike's over.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
The strike strike. It was a one day strike. Why
is it over?
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Content because people were contacted me. They were confused about
what the stri I was about. I just I guess
it failed.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And you don't give me you you were you were
striking because of Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
I was told people people got my personal phone number,
which is no big deal. You can get off the
internet and call him anytime if anybody wants to. And
they were confused what the strike was about, and you
wouldn't let me list my demand. So I'm just moving on, dude.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Less.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Let's because you kept saying strike, strike, strike, strike, strike,
strike me. That was terrible radio, that was it was.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Manwell told me it didn't come off the air good.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
But they said the.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
Reaction you had after was gold, so it was still
pretty decent. You know that guy Andre teaches at my
high school that I went to. He actually lives in
my hometown. He's mentioned on there, so me and him
have a personal connection. I'm not allowed to go down
there because of the police force down there. There was
some problems with me during COVID.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well, they point you're you're back calling the show Blinds
guy Supermarcus Steve though, has to write a formal letter
or he's not allowed back.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Okay, No, he's well, here's.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
No, he's part of the strike. Well, when you strike,
I don't have to let you back in.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
You know that Robbie. I made up with Robbie. Overall,
there's stuff. You know, me and Robbie, we're friends, you know.
I'm I'm I'm not closing on the people here that
didn't like me in a long time. I'm winning a
bass Ben, I'm bass with the militia, you know, I'm
a Ben Mallard Flower.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Though.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
I think the whole militia thing it's like a white
person's gang. I thought, you know what I mean. I mean,
I think it's not like you guys use but I
don't want.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
You've been part of the militia for twenty years and
now you're complaining.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Well, no, I am like, I want to be a
Ben Mallard flower.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
What are we supposed to call a Mallard foul? What
are you calling a man flower?
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Power?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, dude, I'm doing sports talk. Dude, I can't do
a flower. What are you gonna be? The pussy willow flower?
Is that what you want to be?
Speaker 7 (31:53):
It's okay, dude. You know I'm a celebrity. They got
a photo of me in the police station this state.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
This is it's called a mugshot. It's called the mugshot.
Not a celebrity.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
That saved my life. So here's the thing. That guy
didn't really save my life. He just got hit by
car and I was on the sidewalk and then all
the news came and I went.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
He saved the life.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
And Steve Johns used to say, one more thing, dude,
we're going to set up this venue for the mall
and meet and greet in August. We're looking for a
bar to host it. Bostfully.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yes, yes if I if we do, they pick up
the TV show, I will be in Boston. In audist
Alf if he would help get a billboard going, He goes,
this is what Alf said.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
This is why you can't depend on these clowns. He goes,
I think you would be really good at getting that
billboard going okay, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Right, are you guys? Don't need to fight? We love
Alf and I almost met Alf last year, but the
weather was terrible. It was raining and he couldn't make it.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
They don't want any to Boston.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I know I'll go out to them. I'm supposed to. Actually,
one of the things we were talking about doing in
honor of mass.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Week after from Western mass like even to like, I
live in Boston, Dude, you don't live any.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I put him on a listen all right, listen. One
of the things in honor of the late Masshole Mickey.
We love Masshole. Mickey passed away last year, died in
a car accident he had. He had planned on having
me go to a Woo Socks game, and I'm planning
I would like to do that in his memory. That's
one of the things he wanted me to do. And
so I hopefully can do that if the schedule and you.
Speaker 4 (33:21):

Happy Friday to you. It's your friend Ben. Here. The
podcast is yours right now on this Friday, the twenty
fifth day of April. And so back to the NFL draft,
the very top cam Ward was picked. Does cam Ward
(00:20):
qualify as a quote exciting close quote number one pick
for the Titans. We'll discuss that. Also a lot of
chatter that the Giants tried to trade off to get
the number one pick. And so the question how does
this report about the Giants trying to deal for that
top pick and cam Ward sound to you? Got a
(00:43):
conspiracy theory I want to share with the class. We'll
get to that. And the Giants did make a trade.
They traded back into the draft to take Jackson Dart
of Old miss What does that trade mean for the Giants.
We'll talk about that and much more right now here.
It is our and lame jokes, our number three remember
(01:07):
the Titans. Yeah, welcome, in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air
everywhere co mingling as we know. Air is our canvas.
That's right, it's our audio canvas. Coast to coast sport
(01:29):
of the motor and beyond on the vast and overwhelmingly
powerful microphones of FSR, amminating live from the Chip your
blue Chip Prospect of the hour. We're hanging out here
at the Fox Sports Radio studios, which are approved by Perrito.
He supports the FSR studios as we are hanging out twogether, together,
(01:54):
together together, in this portion of the Ben Malor Show,
made possible in part by tire Rack. For over forty years,
tire 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, hire iraq dot com the
(02:14):
way the tire buying shore. So our lead this out,
we'll get back to our roots. The NFL draft in
Green Bay, beautiful green So the draft we talked to
earlier about Travis Hunter that the big headline is Shredeur
Sanders wasn't picked. But there's something very odd that happened.
(02:37):
Now For some the NFL draft is just a long,
slow moving event where the commissioner sits up there. We
didn't sit. He walks up on the stage very dramatically,
and it's either he or as underlings, and they walk
up to the podium and just read names, which at
its essence is what the NFL Draft is now for others,
it's a wonderfully crafted TV show that provides chaos and
(03:02):
shocking moments and big surprises, the human drama of names
being called. Now, there was no surprise at the number one.
If you didn't watch it, perhaps not. There's also something
else that's a problem here, I'll explain in a minute.
(03:23):
But to kick off the twenty twenty five NFL Draft,
the Tennessee football team that calls themselves the Titans made
their selection. They took Miami quarterback cam Ward with the
top pick. He was the first name selected in the
twenty twenty five draft, cam Ward. So let us discuss
the question does cam Ward qualify as a quote exciting,
(03:50):
exciting selection? Does that count? I mean for the Tennessee Times. Now,
I've got Joe Walsh, cigarette lighter, and donk and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to saddle up, is what we're going to do. So,
first of all, to answer the question, does cam Ward
(04:11):
qualify as a quote exciting close quote, top pick in
the draft of the Titans. I think by asking the
question it is a rhetorical question. The answer is obviously not.
This is an unremarkable, unremarkable selection. The fact that it's
getting no no buzz and cam Ward doesn't make you tingle.
(04:35):
He doesn't. Normally, if you're the top player in the draft,
it is knee pad territory. It's slabber, slaber, slabery, slobber. Now,
the Titans are hoping that by picking a quarterback in
the first round, it'll be different than the previous times.
They're hoping the third, the third go round is the charm.
(04:57):
This will be the third first round quarterback that has
been picked in fifteen drafts. Now, normally you pick a quarterback,
you're like, oh, that's our guy for ten years. That's
our guy for ten years. Not so much now. I
don't know anyone that watched cam Ward play at Miami
(05:18):
or previously at Washington State who said, man, this guy's
got that number one pedigree. He's a prodigy. He was
a zero star recruit coming out of high school, so
he overcame the odds. Good for him. He's worked himself
into what I consider a fair to middling prospect, and
a prospect is a suspect and feel proven otherwise. But
(05:39):
he's got below average height. That's why he was a
zero star recruit by NFL standards. Commonplace you look at
his college career, he struggled quite a bit at sack avoidance.
In fact, his career pressure rate was over twenty percent.
A lot of mistakes, a lot of mistakes. Now, for example,
(06:02):
is it true that cam Ward cam Ward has a
turnover worthy play rate of three percent? And he had
that every season of his career. Now, the most damning
thing I could find on cam Ward. He finished his
career in turnover worthy play rate with the same number
(06:27):
as Will Levis, the Mayo man, Will Levis from Kentucky.
How's that working out for the Tennessee Titans. So we
can say right now that Tennessee loves stumblebump quarterbacks. They
love stumblebump quarterbacks. And cam Ward, even if you think
he's got the ability and there are some things that
he does well, he is certainly not being set up
for success. This old coach from years ago, Bill Walsh,
(06:51):
was a legend in his day, and he talked about
how it takes a whole community to raise a quarterback properly. Well,
you've got a NEPO coach in Calum Hand. You've got
Calvin Ridley, who's elite at gambling, Van Jefferson who's a journeyman,
and Tyler Lockett, who's washed up. Those are your top receivers.
(07:12):
So there's not a lot there there in that case. Now,
what are the chances that cam Ward, after I've just
buried him, what are the chances that cam Woard becomes
a first team All Pro quarterback in the NFL? Now,
one point we used to say, what are the odds
you become a Pro Bowl quarterback? And then the NFL decided,
(07:34):
and really it was the players of the NFL that
the Pro Bowl didn't matter anymore, so let's just play
tic tac toe. And they got rid of the Pro Bowl.
So now it's it's play grab ass on a beach somewhere.
So forget that. But what are the chances Camboard becomes
a first team All Pro? Because that that still matters,
that means something. So I'm going to go, based on
a minutes long investigation using malarmath zero zero zero zero
(07:58):
zero point one, that the chances of cam Ward becoming
a first team All Pro despite being drafted at the
very top of the draft. Zero zero zero zero zero
point one. That's it now, Warren Moon did not do it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Warren Moon was a Hall of Fame player, did not
ever become a first team All Pro for the old
Houston Oilers Love Me Blue. Steve Air McNair was never
a first team All probably won an MVP. The late
Steve McNair. The franchise, going back to its roots in Houston,
has had one one quarterback reached that mark, and that
(08:36):
was in nineteen sixty one, George Blanda, George Blanda, and
that was sixty almost sixty five years ago. And he
was also a kicker. So the hope, if you're a
Tennessee and if you're one of our guys in Nashville
where our gals in Nashville, the hope is that cam
Ward can turn into a Joe wall Song, just an
(09:00):
ordinary average guy. You would take that right now if
I say I have this magic bean, and if you
eat the magic bean, that cam Ward will turn out
to be an average NFL starting quarterback. Now, if you
don't take it, maybe cam Ward will turn out to
be an All Pro and maybe he won't. Would you
(09:25):
take the magic bean if it guaranteed that he would
be an ordinary average guy? Not what you normally want
from the top pick. Now, that said, it has been
a few years since the Titans have actually had an
average quarterback, So you can you can win with average.
I guess the comp is got. It's gotta be like
(09:46):
Jared Goff. Jared Goff was a the number one pick
in the draft. He's average. Jared Goff's average. He chokes
in big games. He's average, and the Lions think every
year they can win because they have Jared Goup. But
he's average all right.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Secondly, a lot of chatter, a lot of chat at
that the Giants tried to trade up to get that
number one pick to draft Miami quarterback. Now, now we
are told the Giants offered the number three pick. They're
twenty twenty six first round that's right there, twenty twenty
(10:17):
six first round pick and other picks to get that
top pick. Now, so Tennessee did not obviously complete the deal.
They drafted the player. Based on the breathless reporting, it
was never going to happen. They were never going to
trade that pick. Ever, so, how does this report about
(10:38):
the Giants trying to deal up to get that top
pick and cam Ward sound to you? So it sounds
to me like a cigarette lighter story, meaning that the
Tennessee Titans have taken out the cigarette lighter and they're
trying to light the gaslight. They're gaslighting everybody, strategically leaking
(10:58):
and beellishing the off for cam Ord, looking to boost
the hype around a rather bland pick that doesn't get
your blood flowing. And if the Giants really made a
sweetheart offer to get the player, they would have gotten
the player. Like you don't hold on tight to cam Ord.
He's a slap hitter. He's not a home run hitter.
(11:19):
He's a singles hitter. You don't hit home runs. Maybe
he'll turn out to be a doubles hitter and a
gap hitter, but right now he's a singles hitter. All
right now, final fun. So the Giants said, he said, well,
they did make a try bend, that's right. The Giants
did end up trading their way back into the first round.
They selected old miss and former USC quarterback Jackson Dart
(11:41):
with the number twenty five overall pick in last night draft.
This after they took the Penn State rusher Abdul Carter
at number three overall. Number three, so New York acquired
the twenty fifth pick from Houston. I know, mister Irrigation
is up in arms over this to secure the quarterback
(12:03):
they think is the next big thing. And they sent
the Texans a second round pick, the thirty fourth overall pick,
and a third round pick as well in next year's draft.
So the Texans traded out of the first round and
they traded back nine picks and they got an extra
third round pick. Not nearly as good as what the
(12:24):
Rams did with their trade. So what does the Rams
traded to Atlanta? They traded out of the first round
as well, So what does the Jackson Dark trade mean
for the Giants? So Brian Dable the coach, they wrote ton,
I guess you lost weight. He's not fat anymore. But
Brian Dable the coach is playing with donkeys. He is
(12:48):
playing with donkeys. It's pin the dart on the donkey,
not the tail pin. The dart on the donkey is
what it is. If I am not mistake, this is
a make or break year for Brian Dable and Joe
Shane the GM there, and I love the Abdul Carter pick.
I think that's a wonderful pick. Great, wonderful all that stuff. However,
(13:12):
you drafted and traded up to get this guy, Jackson Dart,
and he's a developmental player, and you've got one year
left to make make some noise or you're gonzo. That's it.
Get out of here, pack your back, get the U haul.
And you look at Dart and we saw him play
(13:32):
Old Miss played some big games in the Southeastern Conference,
you know, last year, and Dart really came up small
in a lot of those big games. He's got good accuracy.
He's not someone that's considered elite. And here's another player
that the argument, much like Shadu Sanders. The argument against
Shader Sanders is not only is he a douche, but
(13:53):
he was coached up at Colorado, that it was a scheme.
He's a he was a scheme player. And that's the
same art with this player, Jackson Dart. That the Lane
Kiffin Old Miss offense coached him up and that most
of the production it was throwing to wide open space
or one on one matchups, and it wasn't the type
(14:14):
of game that you'll have in the NFL. He also
had too many interception worthy throws. Even with that, another
guy that has a very high pressure to rate the
sack rate last couple of years is not good. And
a player that was projected as a mid third round
pick goes in the first round and you trade it
up to get the player he's projected as a low
(14:36):
end starter or a high end backup, and that's the
guy that you went out you had to get. What
is that all about? It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
As we are working our way through the overnight hours,
we have lame jokes of the week that'll be coming
up a little bit later on Big Ben's Lame Jokes

that fifth hour podcast we'll be going up later today.
A new episode will drop on Saturday and another one
on Sunday. That's exclusive weekend pod.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
The end Guy for the Internet.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I know it's very exciting and later this hour lame
Jokes of the week. But right now, back to the
gas Baggerye, well that's right and it is I Ben.
As we roll through the Overnight, I gotta pay off
the Mallor Riddle of the day. Before we pay off
the Mallor Riddle of the day. A couple of things here.
We had a fashion faux Paul we need to get to.
(18:42):
So Adam Schefter is being called out for his attire
at the NFL Draft jefty cheft he had if you're
watching the TV broadcast, he had the the suit, but
he had underneath he had the the hoodie. He had
(19:02):
the so we had a tie. He had the white
shirt with the tie, the jacket, the sports coat, but
then in between the white shirt and the jacket, he
had a hoodie. It was not a good look. It
was not I guess this has become Is this apparently trendy?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Am?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I am? I? I don't know what the trends are?
Is that? Is that something that's popular now? That's the
first time I've seen of it. I'm told that the
former ram offensive lineman who's on Amazon does that. Sometimes
I don't know a guy's name, but yeah, okay, did
you see this, Lorena? Did you see the outfit?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
The I'm having Coop pull it up for me.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, a question for you, Yes, Loraina, Loraina has a question.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Okay, what did you wear to work today?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
What did I wear to work? I have a I
have a a b hat that's my uniform b hat,
and then I have kind of a gray like a
long sleeve shirt and some pants. That's what I want. Well,
you know.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Honestly, I don't think this is a bad look for
my low iron batties out there who run on the
cold side. He looks like he's cozy, he's not sweating,
he's not pulling a Gottlieb like.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
He looks real nice.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I think he looks together. It almost looks like one
of those fancy people. Like if it didn't have a hood,
it would look like one of those sweaters, like a
sweater vest.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Well, yeah, if it was a sweater, then it would
look good. That's that's the whole point, is that the
hood looks ridiculous. Yeah, it's unnecessary unless you're gonna have
the hood on. Like if he had done the broadcast
with the hood that would have been fun. But he
didn't have the hood on. Like if you just hey, everybody,
it's Adam Scheffer. I got a hoodie on right now,
that would have been fine, but he chose not to
(20:51):
do it. Is he is?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
He is he dressing for a formal event or a workout.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
It is? It is, And it's also it's it was
like fifty degrees or something like that. That's not that bad,
right for green Bay color coordinated.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It's got the blue on the blue.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Eh, not a good look. It's not a good look anyway,
whatever fashion faul pot Time Now for the Mallor riddle
of the day. Here it is Texas offensive tackle Kelvin
Banks Juniors baby stole the spotlight after he was drafted
by the Saints because of blank. Because of blank, that
(21:31):
is the Malard riddle of the day. What is the answer?
Econ Roseville, Minnesota said, because of cowboy boots. Mister Luciano
is up late with us? Says the baby was eating
gumbo soup. Mallard prop guy says his lebron James Aerosol
hair spray began melting and leaking. Is the answer? What
(21:54):
do we have? Chris in Kent, Washington said the baby
stole the show with his oversize padonka donk okay? What
else do we have? The saw man says in Mississippi
when he loaded up his diaper is the answer? Scrooge says,
because he was a member of the mal Or Militia
alf the alien opiner. Because of his mel kiper junior
(22:18):
cosplay outfit. Because of the baby tattoos the kid had
from ferg Dog. What else do we have here? Page
down Milkman Mike and Colorado cheated, got it right? Batch
up by the Milkman choice of milk guest by Late
night drug tester. Who else do we have look like
(22:40):
an alien guest by Dante because of his stock portfolio
from Trucker Joe cowboy boots guests by as we mentioned Ike,
Who else do we have? Page down? I think that's enough.
Do you have an answer, Lorraine? Yes?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
I think he saw a show with his impressive calf muscles.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Okay, impressive calf muscles incorrect. Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks
Junior's baby stole the spotlight after he was drafted by
the Saints because of vomit. The kid immediately threw up
right after his dad had been kicked by the New
Orleans Saints. That kid must have watched some Saints games
(23:22):
last year. That's why there you go. By the way
Josh points out, it was Andrew Whitworth, who is the
King of the hoodie on TV. But he's just like
a big ugly guy, Andrew Whitworth. When you're a big
ugly guy, you can do it like that. You're supposed
to do it because those standards, there is a double standard.
(23:42):
There's a lot of double standards in life. That's what
life is, double standards. All life is double standards. Anyway,
let's take some calls. We have lame jokes of the
week that'll be coming up a little bit later on
this hour Big Ben's lame jokes of the week. Let's
say hello to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Hello, Andre, welcome, Ill Ben, good morning, Uh, thank you
so much for taking the call. Listen, lame jokes.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I don't believe it. I don't believe that we have.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Every joke on the Malice Ben Mallie Show has to
be engaging, insightful, humorous, uproary. So I don't know if
that we have laane jokes on this show. I'm gonna
have to push back a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
On the speaking of.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Pushing back, Ben, listen, what happened with this Shador Sanders situation.
They had the house decked out, as you're saying, all right,
we got legendary all over the place, we got special
rooms for this, special rooms for that, you know, and
it was, you know, it was a quiet night in Canton, Texas,
just to say the least. But the fact of the
(24:40):
matter is this from Shador Sanders standpoint, I think this
is a blessing in the side.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
This guy's a great gift.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
He's not the same as Lamar Jackson, not even close.
But the fact of the matter is, I live a
bit disrespect, but you got to internalize all the feelings
being that player. You know, it's happened before. I'm not
saying that's your door, Sanders. These are the same pedigree
as and Aaron Rodgers who had to wait, and obviously
Lamar Jackson, but it could this could be what he
(25:10):
needed to give him that extra fire, motivation, determination so
that when he gets from the NFL and it's looking
like he's going to be a backup, right okay, so
to be able to work his way into possibly into
a starting job and to really give himself a shot.
So right now, all eyes run him. It's decidedly different
than being because I believe he was right up there.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
With the n I L.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
You know, bron he had it one year. I think
he was, you know, got the most money from n
I L of any player in college sports. So he
had this, you know, very you know.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
It was a privileged privilege.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Might might might not be the right word, but don't
stand I'm saying in terms of his college career, he got,
he got, you know, a lot of doors open for him,
and then you get to the NFL and he you know,
he missed out in the first round. A lot of speculation,
a lot of attention is not the kind of attention
that you want. But that's what you need, is my point, okay,
to to be successful where he's going. I don't know
if had he been top pick in starting quarterback, that
(26:07):
might not have been the best journey for him, because
that's really been his entire life journey up to this point.
So before you jump in at your show, of course.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yes, I know we are listening to a live coverage.
This is Andre in the Commonwealth providing blow by blow coverage.
And I believe you were trying to clean up a mess.
There's a spill on Aisle seven, the Shudur Sanders spill
on Aisle seven. Bring the mind, and you were trying
to facilitate this into a positive not a negative. The
fact that two months ago it was like Shoulder Sanders's
(26:37):
going to be the number two or number three pick
in the draft, and now he wasn't even taken in
the first round. And the guy that was picked at
the top pick was a zero star recruit out of
high school, and the other guy that was picked bounced
around college. Of course, Shoulder Sanders bounced around as well,
but Jackson Dart was supposed to be a third round
(26:59):
pick and was drafted in the first round. That's not
that's not a good look. Not good look look.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
And the Giants they traded up, and a lot of
people thought they were trading up. Okay, now it's gonna
be Sador's moment.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
You know that.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I'll make it. I'll make a deal with you. I'm
gonna make a deal with Deandres because the Cleveland Browns
have the first pick today in the second round and
a lot of a lot of chatter that he'll be
picked first or in the top ten in the second round.
So if he ends up in Cleveland, then what have
you really accomplished? Nothing? Right, You're still going to a
terrible team and all that. So we'll see what happens.
But if he if he does end up with a
(27:30):
team that's perceived to be good, like God forbid, the
Rams drafted him or something like that, and they just
want to play him as a backup for a couple
of years and then plug him in, then we can
revisit this. But he's still likely to get drafted by
the Saints or the Browns or the Raiders or some
terrible team like that.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Sure, I don't know, like you know, coming from the Commonwealth,
Ben it wasn't it was a good thing that Tom Brady.
We're not gonna make a one to one comparison. But
he sat for the year and then he developed name one.
I don't know if you're saying it is ready to
be thrown in the fire from day one, even if
he was at first round pick. I think he needs
to develop. He needs to go someplace. He needs to
get out of the limelight, get better, and get a
(28:10):
stump up to being an NFL quarterback visa Vidia the
other situation.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
So I am trying to.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Spin it into a positive. I don't want this to
be a flame out, disastrous situation where you just go
from worse to worse, you know, But Tudor, welcome to
the NFL. It's not gonna go how you you want
it to be. But take that, use that and to
be successful. Rather than getting into the hole back and forth,
hit for stats. That's not going to serve him well.
It turns me. Well, I'm throwed to be on the
(28:35):
mallin Melitiais show. It's vacation, so Ben, I'm still gonna
be here when you get back for the next week.
Not as much, but we're gonna be. We're gonna be
checking to get that mount in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
All right? We all week, all week with Andre. Thank you, Andre,
will is sleeping. Let's say hello to Tony in La.
What's going on Tony in La? Welcome hey, Ben.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
I heard that this has been a pad or for
the Giants to recruit Old Miss players because it's either
the owner's daughter or the general manager's daughters like alumni
booster for Old Miss. And if Dark needs Kiffin's scheme,
then they're trying to recruit Kiffin to get this their
coaching bringing Kiffin, It's obvious they want to know.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I like that. That's good. That's good. That's a good conspiracy.
So Lane Kiffen, who failed with the Raiders years ago,
next head coach of the Giants, lay, I like that,
Tony good thing.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
One more thing, whoever wants your door, they're going to
have to offer Deonn a job. That's why they're they're
got to wait for somebody's willing to give see Deon
Sanders a job.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Okay, well we'll see all right. Good the little nuggets
from Tony, Tony the nuggets man, Thank you, Tony. Let's
go to Blind Scott, who's striking against the show on
the North end of Boston.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
The strike's over.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
The strike strike. It was a one day strike. Why
is it over?
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Content because people were contacted me. They were confused about
what the stri I was about. I just I guess
it failed.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And you don't give me you you were you were
striking because of Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
I was told people people got my personal phone number,
which is no big deal. You can get off the
internet and call him anytime if anybody wants to. And
they were confused what the strike was about, and you
wouldn't let me list my demand. So I'm just moving on, dude.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Less.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Let's because you kept saying strike, strike, strike, strike, strike,
strike me. That was terrible radio, that was it was.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Manwell told me it didn't come off the air good.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
But they said the.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
Reaction you had after was gold, so it was still
pretty decent. You know that guy Andre teaches at my
high school that I went to. He actually lives in
my hometown. He's mentioned on there, so me and him
have a personal connection. I'm not allowed to go down
there because of the police force down there. There was
some problems with me during COVID.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well, they point you're you're back calling the show Blinds
guy Supermarcus Steve though, has to write a formal letter
or he's not allowed back.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Okay, No, he's well, here's.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
No, he's part of the strike. Well, when you strike,
I don't have to let you back in.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
You know that Robbie. I made up with Robbie. Overall,
there's stuff. You know, me and Robbie, we're friends, you know.
I'm I'm I'm not closing on the people here that
didn't like me in a long time. I'm winning a
bass Ben, I'm bass with the militia, you know, I'm
a Ben Mallard Flower.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Though.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
I think the whole militia thing it's like a white
person's gang. I thought, you know what I mean. I mean,
I think it's not like you guys use but I
don't want.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
You've been part of the militia for twenty years and
now you're complaining.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Well, no, I am like, I want to be a
Ben Mallard flower.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
What are we supposed to call a Mallard foul? What
are you calling a man flower?
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Power?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, dude, I'm doing sports talk. Dude, I can't do
a flower. What are you gonna be? The pussy willow flower?
Is that what you want to be?
Speaker 7 (31:53):
It's okay, dude. You know I'm a celebrity. They got
a photo of me in the police station this state.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
This is it's called a mugshot. It's called the mugshot.
Not a celebrity.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
That saved my life. So here's the thing. That guy
didn't really save my life. He just got hit by
car and I was on the sidewalk and then all
the news came and I went.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
He saved the life.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
And Steve Johns used to say, one more thing, dude,
we're going to set up this venue for the mall
and meet and greet in August. We're looking for a
bar to host it. Bostfully.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yes, yes if I if we do, they pick up
the TV show, I will be in Boston. In audist
Alf if he would help get a billboard going, He goes,
this is what Alf said.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
This is why you can't depend on these clowns. He goes,
I think you would be really good at getting that
billboard going okay, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Right, are you guys? Don't need to fight? We love
Alf and I almost met Alf last year, but the
weather was terrible. It was raining and he couldn't make it.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
They don't want any to Boston.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I know I'll go out to them. I'm supposed to. Actually,
one of the things we were talking about doing in
honor of mass.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Week after from Western mass like even to like, I
live in Boston, Dude, you don't live any.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I put him on a listen all right, listen. One
of the things in honor of the late Masshole Mickey.
We love Masshole. Mickey passed away last year, died in
a car accident he had. He had planned on having
me go to a Woo Socks game, and I'm planning
I would like to do that in his memory. That's
one of the things he wanted me to do. And
so I hopefully can do that if the schedule and you.
