Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our number fall, our number four,
and where are you at on this new ginormous Tom
Brady statue the Patriots unveiled recently. We'll talk about that.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
What intrigues you the most about Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's
cringeworthy eyes closed throw that led to one of the
most humiliating interceptions you'll ever see. And Todd McShay, the
noted NFL draft guru, recently came out opposed to the
proposed Ohio ban on prop bets, arguing that making prop

(00:41):
bets illegal would simply drive betters to engage in riskier
alternatives in the illegal gambling space. Do you agree or disagree?
We'll talk about that as well. Right now here it
is give it up for our number four and have
a wonderful Monday.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Here is our number four.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's all the bronze, It's all the bronze. Welcome, in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malar Show.
We are in the air everywhere as friends as we are,
your evil thought companion. Unless we're not coast to coast,

(01:23):
border the border and beyond on the mast, then pleasurably

(01:43):
and Double O Mexican in San Diego. This portion of

tire installation which Alf likes a lot and ferg Dog
also tire rack dot Com The Way Tire Buying Show
be so our lead this hour from the Commonwealth, from
the com Wealth over the weekend and a Gallas ceremony,
they being the Patriots who unveiled this gigantic bronze statue

(02:28):
of Tom Brady which will forever immortalize Brady unless he
does something wrong, and then they'll knock it down like
they were doing five years ago.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
They'll knock the statue down.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
But for now we're going to assume that the Brady
statue is gonna be there forever. Of course, ever was
a relative term outside the team's Hall of fame there
at Patriot Place. So if you didn't see this statue
or hear about it, maybe you missed it over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Perhaps you were not paying attention.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
This is a giant monstrosity.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
It is now.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Brady said he felt extremely honored, deeply, deeply grateful, and
kind of old as he wore his white pants, a
sign that you're very wealthy. You don't see poor people
in white pants unless they're painting. Unless they're painting.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
And then you had owner of Robert Kraft. He was
all giddy, all excited. You know, no massages at least,
we didn't see any massages there.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Eighty four Robert Craft beaming with pride, beaming with pride.
So let us discuss the question where are you at
on this new ginormous Tom Brady statue, which was recently unveiled.
So I've got bird brains, Johnny Knoxville, and FBI agents,

(03:48):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we will make a peanut butter and.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Jelly peeb and j with delicious bread.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
We're gonna cut it down the not the cross the middle,
down sideways, and then that's.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
What we're gonna do, all right.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
So to kick off here though, talking about the Tom
Brady statue.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
We looked at this thing and immediately immediately.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Thought, this is something we expect to see if we ever,
if they ever open up North Korea and we visit
North Korea, we'd expect to see something like this in
North Korea. It's the great leader of Foxborough. There, he
stuns overall. Now, the only thing missing, and I didn't
see the whole ceremony. I watched a big chunk of
it on the YouTube. The only thing that was missing

(04:34):
was a parade with tanks. We needed like a parade
with tanks. There should have been people bowing at the
statue and holding flowers to the Tom Brady statue, a
totalitarian vibe.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
When I looked at the statue, the size of it,
it's a size thing, and we half expected a marching
band to prefer form there and some kind of synchronized
clapping to the almighty Leader Tom Brady. Now it's a
nice statue. I'm not a statue guy. I'm not.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I admit that I'm not a statue guy. This thing
is huge, li much little much. How big is it?
I'll tell you now. The early report said that Tom
Brady statue was twelve feet tall. However, after further investigation,
that is misleading. The reason that that's misleading when you

(05:35):
include the raised fist of the totalitarian leader of the Patriots,
Tom Brady. When you include the raised fist, the actual
figure goes up to fourteen and a half feet. But wait,
there's more. So it's standing overall height, not twelve feet,

(05:56):
not fourteen and a half feet. How about seventeen feet
in the sky, because you have to add a two
and a half foot granted base. The entire structure the
Tom Brady statue weighs over six tons. Yes, seventeen feet tall,

(06:19):
six tons. The statue itself is eighteen hundred pounds and
the base is ten five hundred pounds. So I've did
some male of math on this. It is thirty seven.
That's a prime number. We learned that last hour. Thirty seven,
Vince Wilforks, is how much the Tom Brady statue a waste.

(06:39):
And when you take a couple of steps back, this
is where the Patriots find themselves at at this point
in time. They are in the memory lane part of
the franchise arc. That's where they are when the team
is good You celebrate the players on the field, you
celebrate the success you're having. When the team is bad,

(07:04):
you build statues, is what you do. You wouldn't do
that if you were busy.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Winning, but you do that. Yeah, why not.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Is there a rush to build a Tom Brady statue? Well,
the team blows, so yes, there's a rush to build
a Tom Brady statue. And that's what you do when
you're bad. You start building monuments to the past because
there's nothing to sell in the present and the future
doesn't look all that good now. Drake May is a
bit of a wild card. Patriots think they have the guy.
He hasn't proven he's the guy. And Mike Rabel from Patriots'

(07:36):
days gone by, solid coach, floundering roster, and so you're
celebrating past greatness and the presence a bit of a disaster.
You know who else is also celebrating the Tom Brady statue.
That would be the bird brains, the bird brains, the pigeons,

(07:57):
the seagulls and every other bird. I'm sure there's some
exotic birds out there in Massachusetts and the surrounding states.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
There in all of New England.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
That are like, hey, it's a big day for us here.
Thank you for that seventeen foot bronze perch. Now we
have not seen it since the unveiling.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
It is likely though it.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Is already a bird toilet, and that if not, it's
going to be within the next couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Right, the birds will do what birds do. And I
don't know, Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Lapdogs are out there and they're gonna worship the statue.
It's like some kind of religious deity, the Tom Brady statue.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
How are you going to admit it?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I mentioned North Korea, maybe a little Soviet back in
the day, big shiny towering, seventeen and a half feet
up in the air, six tons over. The peasants who
will come by and look at the statue as they
walk in to the stadium, all hail Tom Brady and

(09:02):
his white pants. Yes, so you want to see something
like that, you can either go to Pyongyang, Moscow, or
you can go to Foxborough. All right, now, furthermore, we
heading to the Valley of the Sun. We react to
a viral moment in a practice football game, not a
real game, not a real game, practice football game. The

(09:24):
little fella fun sized quarterback alligator arms Kyler Murray. Kyler
Murray had the single worst throw of the weekend.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Now I didn't watch this game Chiefs and Cardinals. I
did see the clip, and I'm even if I had
not seen any of the game, in which I didn't
and not paid any attention, you guys made sure Ben.
Did you see what your your guy? Did you see
what he did?

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (09:50):
My god?

Speaker 2 (09:50):
He sucked there going on and on and on all right,
so he went viral.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
If you didn't see it or hear about it, maybe not,
maybe you're blind.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Kyler Murray tried to go all Patrick Mahomey against the Chiefs.
He tried to go Patrick mahomes and then replay you
can clearly see it was the no.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Look magic type pass, the razzle dazzle. He tried.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
The razzle dazzle is what he tried. Instead, the razzle
dazzle did not work.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Here and literally he just gift wrapped a duke or
the duke to some player on the Chiefs defense. Here,
here you can have it.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
So what intrigues you the most about this viral video
of Kyler Murray and his eyes closed throwing an interception?
So I just love the juxtaposition between Mahomes, who had
a down year and his down years, he got to
the super Bowl and they lost, got smoked the Chiefs.
And then you have Kyler Murray, who tries to copy

(10:55):
the highest form of flattery's imitation, tries to copy Mahomes,
tries to go Hollywood, and instead of going Hollywood, he
goes slapstick, which really sums up the life and times
of Kyler Murray.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
The game. I understand it was an exhibition game and
who cares and all that stuff, but even by Kyler
Murray standards, it meant less to him than the last
page of a Call of Duty campaign.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Now, Kyler attempted the NFL version of like Tom Cruise
like stunt the no Look pass. Unfortunately, though Murray did
not use a stunt man, he looked a lot less
than It was not Top Gun or any other Tom
Cruise movie, more like Johnny Knoxville from Jackass Forever. On

(11:43):
that particular throw, he threw the pass right at right
at the Chiefs defender. There was not a cardinal player
that you could see reasonably close to making the play there.
He's like, here you go, random Kansas City defensive player.
Christmas in August Merry Christmas, enjoy the free possession.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
There. There you go.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Now, don't tell don't tell that to the cult of
Kyler Murray. It's a small cult because everything Kyler is
involved in this small. But they're like, oh no, the
married band of Kyler Murray, apologies, who are out there?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
And of course all they've spun this like some kind
of carnival ride with a bunch of drunk carnies going on.
And ah, you don't understand, you don't understand. Yeah, yeah,
he's just he's just playing. He's just playing around. He's experimenting,
that's all he's doing. He's working on some place. He's

(12:40):
aora farming. I've heard that one. He's or a farming. Okay,
that's a new, relatively new term. But why not.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
And I'm sure Josh Allen will in the next Bill's
game there, he'll play and he'll fumble a snap and
Bill's mafia Will insists he's just building some adversity reps.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
He's so good that he's just building.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Some adversity reps. Now, Kyler, we know he's thin skinned.
His act is also wearing thin There in Arizona, his
own franchise there famously felt the need when they signed
him to an extension that they had to put in
writing that Kyler needed to study more. That is not

(13:22):
the NFL telling you you're doing a good job. That
is the NFL equivalent of being called not coach on
the field. He's not the coach on the field, Kyler.
It's the equivalent of the NFL reminding you you might
want to show up to work sober.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
You might want to show up to work sober. We're
just going to put that in the contract there, and
then they had to take it out because Kyler was
a little offended. He would have been a lot offended,
but he's a little guy, so he had to be
a little offended and that was enough. So it's take
more the same. The die has been cast in terms
of Kyler on field, on field, where he'll play well

(14:01):
for five to seven or eight games, then he'll run
into the curb and get curb stomped as he goes
tumbling down, down, down, down down, rince wash repeat. We've
seen this before. We have seen this before.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
All right now, last thing, we're gonna change it up.
We are gonna go to the buck guy state right now.
That is where there is a campaign led by the
Governor of Ohio, Mike de Wine.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Now I bring this up because it's gonna affect other states.
This is not done done, but the momentum, I want
to use the word momentum.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
The effort is being made by some political hacks. So
Mike DeLine, the governor of Ohio. Uh, he is riding
in on his moral high horse. Here we go, Here
we go. Moral Hi is trying to ban player props.
Now this in relation to some Cleveland Guardian baseball players

(15:04):
who were accused of fixing prop bets.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
So I read this up. There's been a lot of
chatter about this. Now, one of the more outspoken blowhards
in this world is Todd McShay. You might remember Todd
me shay. He was on television as a draft guru
and then he got whacked from that job. Now he
came out publicly opposing McShay, opposing the band, and a

(15:35):
lot of people got on the moral high horse and
they were like, well, I mean, this is how can
you oppose this? What about the children? What about the
college athletes and the prop bets and all the whole thing?
All right, fine, so he said, listen. His point was

(15:55):
that you shouldn't be doing this, that.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
People are still going to bet on prop bets and
you're making this prop bet thing illegal. You think you're
doing the right thing, but you're simply gonna drive betters
who are gonna engage in that action.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
You're gonna drive the drive them to the dark web,
if you will, when it comes to this kind of thing. Uh,
And they're gonna find illegal gambling places and they're gonna
bet on these props anyway. So what are you doing?
So do you agree or disagree with with Todd Manshey?

(16:33):
So I agree with his position that Ohio should keep
prop bets legal.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
They should, and there'll be other states that are going
to try to get rid of these things. Here the
point is, and what I believe the point of this is,
is that any rational human being who understands the dynamic
would want this stuff legal. Now, why is that when

(17:01):
you regulate betting and prop bets and all that, when
you regulate it, illegal activity actually drops.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
It's that simple. The illegal activity drops you've regulated it.
It's like drunk driving is illegal, you're not supposed to
drive drunk. People still drink and drive. Spoiler alert. You're
not stopping this either you're not and all you're doing.
All you're doing is sending.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
The gamblers right back to the old neighborhood bookie, which
they're still using in California and Texas and other places,
or worse, some shady website in the Cayman Islands where
there's no oversight, no regulation, none of it, and that
that's it. And so then you know the legal sports books,

(17:56):
and I'm not you know some of these places they
when you win, they actual limit how much you can
bet because they don't really want winners, they want losers.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
And we can get in that conversation all you want.
But the legal sports books, the ones that operate in
the said whole.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Ohio wants to new to them now, they want to
new to them because of these prop bets.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
And but yet they have the.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Most insane I've talked to some of these people who
are involved in that business, and the amount of checks
and balances are insane. The membrane, they've got algorithms, security teams,
a bunch of former FBI agents in the room and

(18:41):
they're monitoring twenty four to seven everything and they go
def con one these gambling places and if anything's a
little off if it smells a little funky.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
What's that smell?

Speaker 2 (18:56):
The books are all but guaranteed to catch it, and
they're all but guaranteed to nip it in the button. Now,
how do we know that.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
It is a business where you're going to win.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
The only way you're consistently going to lose, as the
book is, if there's funny business like athletes fixing prop bets,
that's it.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
They'll be the first ones to know. And as we
saw with that no name from the Toronto Raptors and
all the other players that have been dinged since then,
right that.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Ohio, my advice, don't don't be stuper You can't unring
the bell.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Sports betting is here, it is popular, people like it,
it's going to continue, and you're not protecting the game,
which many politicians like to say, we're protecting the game,
we're looking out for the for the kids. No, it's
all about optics, which is what most of politics is optics.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
And you're pretending to do something and all that stuff,
but you're not stopping the prop bets. You're merely shifting
where those bets are made. And oh, by the way,
I'm pretty sure the neighborhood Bookie does not pay taxes
or the website in the Cayman Islands.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
You're not getting any tax dollars on that money. Not
a dime, not a dime.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
All right.

Speaker 1 (20:27):

Speaker 1 (22:32):
All right back to whe we go. A NFL heavy
Mallard monologue.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
The Tom Brady statue caught my attention, so we yapped
about that, and Stevie Meball says, after adding a miniature
Robert Kraft squatting upon the raised fist of Tom Brady
and a miniature Bill Belichick squatting upon the head of
the miniature Bill Belichick the Tom Brady statue, you reached

(23:00):
a total height of twenty nine and a half feet.
That's according to the Great Steaming meat Balls, a mathematician
for all mathematicians.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Let's see here. Let's see here.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Uk Grad says the neighborhood bookie doesn't do prop bets. Well,
I would argue that you don't have a good neighborhood
bookie because I've been told, not that I would ever
get involved in this, but I have been told by
those that do that the neighborhood bookie ain't your daddy's
neighborhood bookie. That they do it on websites and there
are propits now they don't know. I've been told by

(23:37):
people who may dabble in that world that they don't
do in game prop bets.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
But you can do prop bets prior to the game.
So you don't say that's what I'm just telling you.
What I'm hearing, Well, you have a gambling bubby. I don't.
People I know may have a gaming problem. I don't,
of course I do not. Let's see bill, who's your bill?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Completely hammered says, if you had to choose between Arby's
sauce and Chick fil a honey mustard, which way would
you go? I go with the Chick fil A Honey
mustard on that one. It's pretty simple, mister irrigation says.
The Phoenix Cardinals have a but ugly uniform, ugliest top
ten NFL uniform.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Talk. No, I don't do list. Other people I'm told
when I when I'm away they do lists. I think
to mock me because I goof on talk show us
to do list because they're lazy. But anyway, let's.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
See Daniel writes in says could have been worse. The
Tom Brady statue could have a statue of a mayor
named Harry. Harry and then he says his last name
is Balls from America's favorite crossing guard.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
That's dang. Oh, he's back in Fort Wayne.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Hello, Hollering James.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
James, you're on the air, James, see that he's he's
listening to delay. We're not about a thirty three minute delay.
So once the delay catches up and he'll hear himself
and then he'll he'll wake up. That's normally what happens.
But he's been sleeping for a while, James, all right,

(25:23):
are you there?

Speaker 1 (25:23):
James, No, I don't know if he's gonna wake up.
It seems like he's in a deep state of sleep. Oh,
it sounds like good slumber. Is he dreaming? What do
you think he's dreaming about you, Lorrena. He's probably chasing squirrels.
Squirrels in his ram, Yeah, dreaming about that first snow
