Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bingo. It's our number four.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And a happy Monday to you, the twenty fourth day
of March, and we are brought together again through audio
content and here in hour number four, it is about
NFL free agency, at least at the start. And how
do you appraise these latest developments, these latest glowing stories
regarding wide receivers Stefon Diggs and his health status that
(00:27):
popped up over the weekend. Also where you're at on
this Trey Hendrickson contract drama, O rama with the Bengals
as he continues to be stuck in nomad's land. And
we'll go to baseball as Mookie Betts has lost over
twenty pounds. What do you make of Mookie Betts, former
MVP and his rather shaky health status for the Dodgers
(00:51):
Opening day just a few days away, the US opener
for the Dodgers, they've already played a couple of games.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here
it is on this twenty fourth day of Monday. It's
our number four. Have a wonderful day. A changing of
the narrative. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
(01:16):
the Benmahl Show. We are in the air everywhere, working
together as we are rebooting, as we speak coast to coast,
port on the order and beyond on the vast and
whimsically powerful microphones of fsre emminating live from the doctor
(01:38):
as in the doctor's office, we are broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Tyract dot com.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars tyraqt dot com the way tire buying should be.
I know Kathy and Madison. She gets very, very excited
when she hears the number ten thousand, and rightfully, so right,
(02:07):
that's a big number, ten thousands, a very large number. Indeed,
So our lead this hour is from NFL Free Agency.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Why are you not talking about THEA tournament? Al right? Listen.
We did a monologue early. If you want to hear my.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Full thoughts on the festivities of March, you'll be able
to download the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And we are into the sweet sixteen and this is
this is different.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
We got to get used to the new NCUBLEA Tournament
and the fact that because of the changing in college basketball,
the changing that's taking place, the power conferences have filled up.
I believe it's is it fifteen the sixteen sponsors at
all sixteen? There's been so much conference realignment. I know
the SEC sent seven teams to the sweet sixteen, so
(02:51):
almost half of the using Malormath, almost half of the
Sweet sixteen is from the Southeastern Conference.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And this is the first NCAA tournament since sevens almost
twenty years ago, that no team seeded eleventh or lower.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
In the sweet sixteen is in.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And I believe the based on seating John Kylapari and
the Arkansas Razorbacks are the big underdog, the upstart team.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So that's it doesn't do much for me, doesn't do
much for me. But our lead this hour.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Is from NFL Free Agency. We mentioned earlier that Aaron
Rogers reports over the weekend saying he is close to
a deal to go to the Pittsburgh football team. Nothing
official yet, however, it is a safe bet, and really
really a safe bet because Angry Bill called up from Florida,
so he's not going to Pittsburgh. That pretty much done deal.
(03:53):
But there's something else that caught my attention that has
been percolating over the weekend. The Bohemian wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I know, what do you care about Steffan? She's washed up.
Just bear with me. I think it's an interesting story.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So if you haven't heard the last now, when we
last got together for our radio side chat, Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Had been whined and dined by the new.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
England football team, the Patriots, who publicly courted the once
elite pass catcher. However, they decided not to consummate the relationship.
They did not go uh boogety bogaty bogogery, they didn't
do that. No, and so over the week and there
were some new reports about Stefan Diggs. GOA caught my attention.
(04:40):
You might not have seen it. Maybe you were busy
doing stuff. You actually have a life.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Good for you. I saw it.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So, about five months after snap Crackle, Pop goes to
the ACL back with the Texans. In week eight, a
new update on Steffan Diggs Healthy updates said Diggs is
said to be a in a really good spot, really
good spot in his rehab progress, and Diggs is a
(05:07):
quote ahead of schedule. A glowing report beaming with pride
said over the weekend, ahead of schedule, his rehab running
at full speed, we cutting and changing direction and continuing
to work out as he rehabs from the ACL injury. Now,
the same report also quoted the nameless anonymous coach in
(05:31):
the NFL who defied the stereotype that Stefan Diggs is
locker room poison, that he is a team wrecker, instead
of saying that Diggs is a warmer person than the
stigma that follows him around. That was the quote. So
(05:51):
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. How
do you appraise these latest glowing reports. It's about wide
receivers Stafawn Diggs and his status.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
And what kind of teammate he is, YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So I've got stand up comic turtles and Smoothie King,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make the Gabba goool.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We're gonna make the Gabba goool.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So to lead off here, So I saw the story
and then I thought, hey, that must be like a
Sentel type story. That must be sports talk Barry or
butt crack sports. That can't be real satire satire. So
I went I read it again, and I laughed again.
I said, well, that's some pretty good writing there. That's
solid writing. Who wrote it? I want to give him
(06:41):
credit because I love satire, and it turns out it
was legit. It turns out it was not satire. Stefan
Diggs spent years hand crafting what was called a stigma
by his own actions. He used the same play sheet,
the same cheat sheet in every town he was at
(07:01):
every time, at Minnesota, Buffalo, Houston.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
The only reason it was a little different in Houston
because he got hurt. But it's not like the Texas,
like we got to bring this guy back.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
They're like, no, we're good. You know, We're all right.
We moved on.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So normally, what happens with Stefan Diggs, I'll tell you
the Stefan Diggs package. The Stefan Diggs package is some
shaky performances, bubbling tension between the organization and the player.
Diggs is unhappy with somebody in the front office or
the coaching staff or his quarterback, and then he puts
out some cryptic messages on the socials, gets upset, and
(07:38):
then ultimately enter enters the transfer portal.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Ultimately, that's what happened. Did it in Minnesota?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
There was some very bizarre news conference he was the
man that crafted the Minnesota miracle, which wasn't a miracle
when they played Philadelphia the following week, but anyway, that
was against New Orleans and then had some issues went
to Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
There was some underlying ten with the quarterback MVP.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Mister MVP Josh Allen didn't work out and really didn't
work in Houston.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's not like he was Mono. Mono was CJ.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Stroud and if he had played more would have ended
the same way it ended in Buffalo and Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
But instead it's less of an over the.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Top thing because Minnesota and Buffalo made a big production
out of getting rid of Stefon Diggs, where Houston just
kind of quietly let him go and that's it and
didn't really make an effort to resign him even though
he was heading towards free agency. But this latest round
of reporting circling over Stefan Diggs, it's like a stand
(08:40):
up comic Gabriel Iglesias whose nickname is Fluffy. It's a
fluffy story, right, It's a fluffy story, is what it is,
and more likely than not, the latest update. The latest
update here came from someone who may or may not
be on the payroll in the inner circle slash posse
(09:03):
for Stefan Diggs. Is this a mister editor situation if
you're what I mean, mister editor. Yeah, where it was
hand delivered by someone who is on the true money
train with Stefon Diggs right. And after a minutes long,
(09:25):
minutes long malor investigation, we have determined that this report
is ninety eight percent nonsense. Ninety eight percent nonsense. If
Stefon Diggs was running at full speed, let's.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Just look at this logically.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So New England brings ste Fawn Diggs in for a visit,
They have dinner, they play grab ass for a few hours,
they do some medical tests. So if Sefon Diggs is
running at full speed and has no issues with agility
cutting all of that, why did he leave New England
without a contract. It makes no sense. It makes absolutely
(09:57):
no sense. The Patriots. If you look at depth chart
at wide receiver, it's the zombie apocalypse at who they
have a wide receiver? So this report is obviously just
some damage control. It's like everything's great, but something wasn't kosher,
something wasn't right. And is it the fact that Diggs
is just a ma Suguna and the Patriots want nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
To do with him. So something's going on there.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But I don't believe that the smell coming out of
that story is beautiful, wonderful and just all around great.
I don't buy it all right now. Furthermore, speaking of
bizarre the one left behind dateline Cincinnati, the Bengals and
their star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson have reached impasse. Oh MG,
(10:47):
I can't believe it. So we are told there is
no intention, no intention, that Hendrickson will play at all
for his current contract. And I really don't know how
you could do it. You talk about hardship, you talk
about the hard scrabble streets. How is Trey Hendrickson supposed
to feed his family at sixteen million dollars this year?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
My god? That? What is this? Some kind of third
world country? What are we doing? You expect a professional
football player to play for sixteen million dollars? Have you
lost your bloody mind? My god?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So the Bengals also have shown no eagerness to trade
Trey Hendrickson. Thus we are at impass. Keep in mind,
the Bengals had no problem cutting massive cartoon sized checks
just a few days ago. So where are you at
on this Trey Hendrickson contract? Rama ol rama with the Bengals.
(11:44):
So they are the kid remember that kid that was
a viral star on local TV. He was dressed up
for thing. It was for Halloween as a zombie and
he said, I like turtles a little kid. I liked.
That's an old kiss. I'll be like in college now,
but I like turtles. And in this case, the Bengals
(12:05):
and Trey Hendrickson are fans of Loggerhead turtles because they
are at Loggerheads, the Bengals again paying out massive cartoon
sized checks to Jamar Chase and t Higgins. And now
they have drawn a line of demarcation. That's it, line
of demarcation. They have a couple of months to try
to shake this all out, but really one month, because
(12:27):
the next big spot on the calendar is the NFL
Draft in about a month, in about a month, and
that's the big hurdle. If you don't trade Hendrickson before
the NFL Draft, and you're gonna not get anything in
return really until next year.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
All?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Last thing, we quickly quickly right, we go to baseball.
We go to baseball, developing story The Juggernaut, the Big
Blue Wrecking Crew, the Doyers. The Dodgers got an update
update on a former MVP, Mookie Bets, the three time
World Series winner, Mookie Bets and his health, and it
(13:07):
ain't good. It is not good. And if you didn't
hear about the news, maybe not. The Dodgers, who are
on their way to the first one hundred and sixty
two and oh season of all time, they're already two
and oh. They are two games ahead of every other
team in baseball, two games ahead at least of every
other team in baseball. So Mookie Bets, is it true
that Mookie confirmed doctors have no idea what is wrong
(13:31):
with him, That Mookie Bets is dealing with an unknown
mystery illness and he's been dealing with this for multiple weeks,
and there is no conclusion on what is wrong with
Mookie Bets, age thirty two, Mookie Bets listed weight one
hundred and seventy five pounds. He is said to be
(13:52):
somewhere around one hundred and fifty pounds. Mookie Bets has
lost over twenty pounds and they don't know what's going on,
and he is still struggling the whole down Food. So
that is the latest update there on Mookie Bets. He
clarified that no specific condition, no virus, has been diagnosed,
(14:16):
that doctors do not know what is wrong with him.
So question what do you make what do you make
of Mookie Bets and his health status for the Doyers.
So it's unfortunate, but it's at this point Mooki Bets
has become the smoothie King. He's his own words. He
says he's unable to still digest anything but a smoothie
(14:40):
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
He can just that's all he can handle.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And it obviously blows the Mooki was supposed to be
the starting shortstop for the Dodgers and the fact that
they don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now, I am not a doctor, not I should You
should never take medical advice from someone on the radio.
That being said, I am a talk show host and
we have all the answers. As talk sho host, we
know everything.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So based on my experience with this type of situation,
we can eliminate the flu.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
They would know it's the flu.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
You have the flu, they give you some ivs and
you feel better in a couple of days, the neural virus,
which I think is just the flu with a new name.
When it's a stomach condition, you have that, and again
it lasts a few days, and they give you some
the proper cocktail of drugs and you're better. The fact
that the Dodgers have spring training in Arizona. There's a
(15:38):
lot of weird stuff going on, like desert born illnesses
that you only get if you're in a place like Arizona.
And I keep going back based on again, just you know,
futching around on the web MD and the different medical
sites and looking at these symptoms that we know Mookie
Bets has. I keep going back to valley fever. Now
I don't know whether Mokie Bets has value fever or not.
(16:00):
I just know that the weight loss, the fatigue, those
are all symptoms of valley fever, which is something you
get in the valley of the Sun, and it's pretty
common and it's from what I understand from what I
was reading anyway, it's not the easiest thing to test for,
and so that's that's something that does to take a
fair amount of time to bounce back from. So we'll see,
(16:21):
but Mookie's gonna be out and would appear based on
the fact he's lost all this weight, He's not going
to be playing when the Dodgers pick it up with
the US opener and everyone begins in baseball. Later this week,
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Nine, And then later this hour we will have the
Maler Militia feud. But a really good tabloidish story from
the world of pro bouncy ball. So the Miami Heat
are not only a basketball team, they are terrible, right
considering the standard for Miami Heat basketball, they blow. There's
(19:01):
all kinds of conspiracies on, like what happened? Is it
all because of Jimmy Butler's There's something else going on.
So there's been an internet rumor bouncing around for a
little while involving the ex wife of the Miami Heat
coach Eric Spolstra.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And I wasn't gonna bring this.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Up, but the ex wife did a two minute video
on social media commenting about the rumor, therefore giving.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Us, as one of my old bosses say.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Opening the door, opening the window to allow us to
talk about this. So Eric Spolstra, the coach of the
Miami Heat, divorced his I don't know how long they remember,
seven years or something like that. This woman, Nikki, and
she had worked for the Heat, like in the like
the cheerleading department or something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I don't know all the details. All I know is
some online reporting. I say that with you know, fingers
in the air. Air Quotes claimed that Spolster's ex wife
was somehow responsible for the downfall of the Miami Heat
and because she had.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Say noodled with one of the Heat players.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah about that, well, I mean I didn't somebody told
I didn't say it, somebody else said it. And anyway,
so she did about a two minute video denying the story.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
So what do you think happened? Of course people saw
the videos.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
She did it.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
She did, That's why she said that. She did that,
you know. And so now this thing's taking a life
of its own. It's really really next level.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
The ex wife or the Heat coach called the people
saying this sports trolls reacting to the rumors she denied
the story. She's one hundred percent, flat out not true
that she was stooping one of the players there for
the Miami My favorite part of the sponsor story is
he was getting divorced. It was tied up in the
(21:04):
court system for a while, and then like a day
or two after Maybe I'm exaggerating, but it was shortly
after the divorce went final, pat Riley in the Heat
handed him one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. So
after he paid out all the divorce money, they just
gave give a bunch of money over I scoll to
the phones I'm sure that story will have legs later today,
(21:24):
Let's say hello to blind Scott, who is on the
north end of Boston.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Hello, Blind Scott, welcome.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Oh hey, yea, it's almost baseball season here. So I'm thinking, like,
somebody pours a beer on me. Right, I'm down by
the field at Fenway Parks. I stayed someone just to
pour a beer on me completely while the game's going.
All of a sudden, them on the field, with my mobility,
came running around the field. I'm one hundred percent lined.
If he didn't know, security can't really put their hands
(21:52):
on me. There's lives for that, you know what I mean.
I'm just running around the bases. I like that idea
to dog.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
But how would you know where you're going?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
You get on the grass, you feel your feet. I'm
pretty nimble, I'm you know, I use my I can't, dude,
somebody savagely is a lot of clicking?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
What's going on here, Scott? There's a lot of clicking.
Is your phone dying?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No? No, I don't know. That's a thing behind me,
the thing that sucks up all the smoke. I mean,
I'm smoking like five ounces a week a week. Kid,
that was the.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Horrible It sounds horrible. That doesn't sound like an airfield.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Hey, Lebrady, you know how you get back with these
people that are giving you a hard time? Just have
sex with their wives. That's what I done. Yeah, some
of these people that harassed me on the show, I
literally slept with their wives. You know what I mean?
Like they give me a high time and then.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Why are you are you making this up? Agains Scott?
Which person? You have? Multiple personality?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
So a lot of listeners wives. I have dissociation identity disorder,
so I confront different personalities. So I was in the
sandwich wine over the weekend and some guy shoved me savagely.
I went into the outdoor. He was all of a
sudden when he saw that, he decided he's done having
a sandwich and he shoved me really hard. I was
going to give him a punch right in the face.
But I'm just trying to be cordial to people right now. Dude,
(23:08):
I'm going to Canada. I'm not round.
Speaker 1 (23:11):

Oh that one was easy. I'm okay, I'm right, go ahead,
go ahead. Good, I'm not I'm not all right.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Which Major League Baseball legend was known as mister October.

Let's see here?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Ben?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Okay, yeah, boy, some of these just so easy.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Okay. Uh. What is the name of the line?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Lines that run east to west across a map?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
East to west across the map? Daniel, you want to
go first this time?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Daniel, this is a geography.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
I'm gonna guess equator.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Okay, Larida, what say you? Longitude? Ben?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
All you no, it's actually latitude, you know what.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
That's what I meant to say.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Latitude is what I meant.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
To tell it to the as long as it was
a long way. Latitude is the sideways that Yeah, you're close. No, No,
I was right. You know you didn't know. You didn't
get it right? That was right. The other answer is
just what was meant to come out? Alright, very good.
Let's see here. Let's go to why we're going to
(30:45):
pop culture? Right. I didn't tease this, but we'll do
a pop culture and uh, Ted Lass? You ever watched
Ted Lasso? You ever watched that show? No? Great show? Okay?
On Ted Lasso?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
What treat does Ted give his colleagues that they find irresistible?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
How old is this show? It's frond like twenty twenty. Yeah,
that's really old. I mean five years ago. Holy crap,
what did they eat? The show's coming back, isn't it.
I think it is. It's kind of back for season.
But I watched every episode and I don't even know
this really okay? Interesting? Repeat the question on Ted Lasso.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
What treat does Ted give his colleagues that they find irresistible?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Do they do?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I get multiple choice? No, I'm leaning towards either a
tutsi roll or a Starburst. It's very specific. It's a brand,
you know, like a kid.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You know, like when when you get like in kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Oh you did a job. Here's a little candy. Yeah,
so you're going candy.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, okay, walks up candy. What about you, Daniel? What
do you think Ted Lasso? What treat did Ted give
his colleagues that they found irresistible?
Speaker 6 (31:51):
I regret to say I do not watch Ted last
self because we don't have Apple TV.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Okay, too well, rain on candy.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Went and doubt agree with Lorena and you'll be wrong,
just like Jesus. Biscuits biscuits still biscuits.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, a cuss word, biscuits. We're doing biscuits and gravy.
You know you guys say that.
Speaker 9 (32:13):
I mean, I think the cookie is Actually I like
tots and gravy better than biscuits and gravy.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Well, because like in England, don't they call like cookies
biscuits or on.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
The show was biscuits though watched the show was no,

the five dollars bill? Which president is on the five
dollar bill? This is a loosely a history question.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I think it's Abraham Lincoln, right, Daniel, what do you

Speaker 2 (39:50):
We very rarely get through the entire board that's impressed,

stuff every year, you look forward to the same the beauty.
If you're like Coach Russell's in Florida, like the weather
doesn't it's always nice there. You don't really have to
worry about I it's a little nasty like human and stuff,
but it's never that bad in Florida. Like you live
in the Commonwealth, you're experiencing the real joy of spring, right,
(40:14):
you know, in
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Florida a little bit different, a little bit just a
te d bit
Bingo. It's our number four.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And a happy Monday to you, the twenty fourth day
of March, and we are brought together again through audio
content and here in hour number four, it is about
NFL free agency, at least at the start. And how
do you appraise these latest developments, these latest glowing stories
regarding wide receivers Stefon Diggs and his health status that
(00:27):
popped up over the weekend. Also where you're at on
this Trey Hendrickson contract drama, O rama with the Bengals
as he continues to be stuck in nomad's land. And
we'll go to baseball as Mookie Betts has lost over
twenty pounds. What do you make of Mookie Betts, former
MVP and his rather shaky health status for the Dodgers
(00:51):
Opening day just a few days away, the US opener
for the Dodgers, they've already played a couple of games.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here
it is on this twenty fourth day of Monday. It's
our number four. Have a wonderful day. A changing of
the narrative. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
(01:16):
the Benmahl Show. We are in the air everywhere, working
together as we are rebooting, as we speak coast to coast,
port on the order and beyond on the vast and
whimsically powerful microphones of fsre emminating live from the doctor
(01:38):
as in the doctor's office, we are broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Tyract dot com.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars tyraqt dot com the way tire buying should be.
I know Kathy and Madison. She gets very, very excited
when she hears the number ten thousand, and rightfully, so right,
(02:07):
that's a big number, ten thousands, a very large number. Indeed,
So our lead this hour is from NFL Free Agency.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Why are you not talking about THEA tournament? Al right? Listen.
We did a monologue early. If you want to hear my.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Full thoughts on the festivities of March, you'll be able
to download the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And we are into the sweet sixteen and this is
this is different.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
We got to get used to the new NCUBLEA Tournament
and the fact that because of the changing in college basketball,
the changing that's taking place, the power conferences have filled up.
I believe it's is it fifteen the sixteen sponsors at
all sixteen? There's been so much conference realignment. I know
the SEC sent seven teams to the sweet sixteen, so
(02:51):
almost half of the using Malormath, almost half of the
Sweet sixteen is from the Southeastern Conference.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And this is the first NCAA tournament since sevens almost
twenty years ago, that no team seeded eleventh or lower.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
In the sweet sixteen is in.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And I believe the based on seating John Kylapari and
the Arkansas Razorbacks are the big underdog, the upstart team.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So that's it doesn't do much for me, doesn't do
much for me. But our lead this hour.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Is from NFL Free Agency. We mentioned earlier that Aaron
Rogers reports over the weekend saying he is close to
a deal to go to the Pittsburgh football team. Nothing
official yet, however, it is a safe bet, and really
really a safe bet because Angry Bill called up from Florida,
so he's not going to Pittsburgh. That pretty much done deal.
(03:53):
But there's something else that caught my attention that has
been percolating over the weekend. The Bohemian wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I know, what do you care about Steffan? She's washed up.
Just bear with me. I think it's an interesting story.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So if you haven't heard the last now, when we
last got together for our radio side chat, Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Had been whined and dined by the new.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
England football team, the Patriots, who publicly courted the once
elite pass catcher. However, they decided not to consummate the relationship.
They did not go uh boogety bogaty bogogery, they didn't
do that. No, and so over the week and there
were some new reports about Stefan Diggs. GOA caught my attention.
(04:40):
You might not have seen it. Maybe you were busy
doing stuff. You actually have a life.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Good for you. I saw it.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So, about five months after snap Crackle, Pop goes to
the ACL back with the Texans. In week eight, a
new update on Steffan Diggs Healthy updates said Diggs is
said to be a in a really good spot, really
good spot in his rehab progress, and Diggs is a
(05:07):
quote ahead of schedule. A glowing report beaming with pride
said over the weekend, ahead of schedule, his rehab running
at full speed, we cutting and changing direction and continuing
to work out as he rehabs from the ACL injury. Now,
the same report also quoted the nameless anonymous coach in
(05:31):
the NFL who defied the stereotype that Stefan Diggs is
locker room poison, that he is a team wrecker, instead
of saying that Diggs is a warmer person than the
stigma that follows him around. That was the quote. So
(05:51):
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. How
do you appraise these latest glowing reports. It's about wide
receivers Stafawn Diggs and his status.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
And what kind of teammate he is, YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So I've got stand up comic turtles and Smoothie King,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make the Gabba goool.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
We're gonna make the Gabba goool.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So to lead off here, So I saw the story
and then I thought, hey, that must be like a
Sentel type story. That must be sports talk Barry or
butt crack sports. That can't be real satire satire. So
I went I read it again, and I laughed again.
I said, well, that's some pretty good writing there. That's
solid writing. Who wrote it? I want to give him
(06:41):
credit because I love satire, and it turns out it
was legit. It turns out it was not satire. Stefan
Diggs spent years hand crafting what was called a stigma
by his own actions. He used the same play sheet,
the same cheat sheet in every town he was at
(07:01):
every time, at Minnesota, Buffalo, Houston.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
The only reason it was a little different in Houston
because he got hurt. But it's not like the Texas,
like we got to bring this guy back.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
They're like, no, we're good. You know, We're all right.
We moved on.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So normally, what happens with Stefan Diggs, I'll tell you
the Stefan Diggs package. The Stefan Diggs package is some
shaky performances, bubbling tension between the organization and the player.
Diggs is unhappy with somebody in the front office or
the coaching staff or his quarterback, and then he puts
out some cryptic messages on the socials, gets upset, and
(07:38):
then ultimately enter enters the transfer portal.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Ultimately, that's what happened. Did it in Minnesota?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
There was some very bizarre news conference he was the
man that crafted the Minnesota miracle, which wasn't a miracle
when they played Philadelphia the following week, but anyway, that
was against New Orleans and then had some issues went
to Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
There was some underlying ten with the quarterback MVP.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Mister MVP Josh Allen didn't work out and really didn't
work in Houston.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's not like he was Mono. Mono was CJ.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Stroud and if he had played more would have ended
the same way it ended in Buffalo and Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
But instead it's less of an over the.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Top thing because Minnesota and Buffalo made a big production
out of getting rid of Stefon Diggs, where Houston just
kind of quietly let him go and that's it and
didn't really make an effort to resign him even though
he was heading towards free agency. But this latest round
of reporting circling over Stefan Diggs, it's like a stand
(08:40):
up comic Gabriel Iglesias whose nickname is Fluffy. It's a
fluffy story, right, It's a fluffy story, is what it is,
and more likely than not, the latest update. The latest
update here came from someone who may or may not
be on the payroll in the inner circle slash posse
(09:03):
for Stefan Diggs. Is this a mister editor situation if
you're what I mean, mister editor. Yeah, where it was
hand delivered by someone who is on the true money
train with Stefon Diggs right. And after a minutes long,
(09:25):
minutes long malor investigation, we have determined that this report
is ninety eight percent nonsense. Ninety eight percent nonsense. If
Stefon Diggs was running at full speed, let's.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Just look at this logically.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So New England brings ste Fawn Diggs in for a visit,
They have dinner, they play grab ass for a few hours,
they do some medical tests. So if Sefon Diggs is
running at full speed and has no issues with agility
cutting all of that, why did he leave New England
without a contract. It makes no sense. It makes absolutely
(09:57):
no sense. The Patriots. If you look at depth chart
at wide receiver, it's the zombie apocalypse at who they
have a wide receiver? So this report is obviously just
some damage control. It's like everything's great, but something wasn't kosher,
something wasn't right. And is it the fact that Diggs
is just a ma Suguna and the Patriots want nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
To do with him. So something's going on there.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But I don't believe that the smell coming out of
that story is beautiful, wonderful and just all around great.
I don't buy it all right now. Furthermore, speaking of
bizarre the one left behind dateline Cincinnati, the Bengals and
their star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson have reached impasse. Oh MG,
(10:47):
I can't believe it. So we are told there is
no intention, no intention, that Hendrickson will play at all
for his current contract. And I really don't know how
you could do it. You talk about hardship, you talk
about the hard scrabble streets. How is Trey Hendrickson supposed
to feed his family at sixteen million dollars this year?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
My god? That? What is this? Some kind of third
world country? What are we doing? You expect a professional
football player to play for sixteen million dollars? Have you
lost your bloody mind? My god?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So the Bengals also have shown no eagerness to trade
Trey Hendrickson. Thus we are at impass. Keep in mind,
the Bengals had no problem cutting massive cartoon sized checks
just a few days ago. So where are you at
on this Trey Hendrickson contract? Rama ol rama with the Bengals.
(11:44):
So they are the kid remember that kid that was
a viral star on local TV. He was dressed up
for thing. It was for Halloween as a zombie and
he said, I like turtles a little kid. I liked.
That's an old kiss. I'll be like in college now,
but I like turtles. And in this case, the Bengals
(12:05):
and Trey Hendrickson are fans of Loggerhead turtles because they
are at Loggerheads, the Bengals again paying out massive cartoon
sized checks to Jamar Chase and t Higgins. And now
they have drawn a line of demarcation. That's it, line
of demarcation. They have a couple of months to try
to shake this all out, but really one month, because
(12:27):
the next big spot on the calendar is the NFL
Draft in about a month, in about a month, and
that's the big hurdle. If you don't trade Hendrickson before
the NFL Draft, and you're gonna not get anything in
return really until next year.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
All?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Last thing, we quickly quickly right, we go to baseball.
We go to baseball, developing story The Juggernaut, the Big
Blue Wrecking Crew, the Doyers. The Dodgers got an update
update on a former MVP, Mookie Bets, the three time
World Series winner, Mookie Bets and his health, and it
(13:07):
ain't good. It is not good. And if you didn't
hear about the news, maybe not. The Dodgers, who are
on their way to the first one hundred and sixty
two and oh season of all time, they're already two
and oh. They are two games ahead of every other
team in baseball, two games ahead at least of every
other team in baseball. So Mookie Bets, is it true
that Mookie confirmed doctors have no idea what is wrong
(13:31):
with him, That Mookie Bets is dealing with an unknown
mystery illness and he's been dealing with this for multiple weeks,
and there is no conclusion on what is wrong with
Mookie Bets, age thirty two, Mookie Bets listed weight one
hundred and seventy five pounds. He is said to be
(13:52):
somewhere around one hundred and fifty pounds. Mookie Bets has
lost over twenty pounds and they don't know what's going on,
and he is still struggling the whole down Food. So
that is the latest update there on Mookie Bets. He
clarified that no specific condition, no virus, has been diagnosed,
(14:16):
that doctors do not know what is wrong with him.
So question what do you make what do you make
of Mookie Bets and his health status for the Doyers.
So it's unfortunate, but it's at this point Mooki Bets
has become the smoothie King. He's his own words. He
says he's unable to still digest anything but a smoothie
(14:40):
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
He can just that's all he can handle.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And it obviously blows the Mooki was supposed to be
the starting shortstop for the Dodgers and the fact that
they don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now, I am not a doctor, not I should You
should never take medical advice from someone on the radio.
That being said, I am a talk show host and
we have all the answers. As talk sho host, we
know everything.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So based on my experience with this type of situation,
we can eliminate the flu.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
They would know it's the flu.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
You have the flu, they give you some ivs and
you feel better in a couple of days, the neural virus,
which I think is just the flu with a new name.
When it's a stomach condition, you have that, and again
it lasts a few days, and they give you some
the proper cocktail of drugs and you're better. The fact
that the Dodgers have spring training in Arizona. There's a
(15:38):
lot of weird stuff going on, like desert born illnesses
that you only get if you're in a place like Arizona.
And I keep going back based on again, just you know,
futching around on the web MD and the different medical
sites and looking at these symptoms that we know Mookie
Bets has. I keep going back to valley fever. Now
I don't know whether Mokie Bets has value fever or not.
(16:00):
I just know that the weight loss, the fatigue, those
are all symptoms of valley fever, which is something you
get in the valley of the Sun, and it's pretty
common and it's from what I understand from what I
was reading anyway, it's not the easiest thing to test for,
and so that's that's something that does to take a
fair amount of time to bounce back from. So we'll see,
(16:21):
but Mookie's gonna be out and would appear based on
the fact he's lost all this weight, He's not going
to be playing when the Dodgers pick it up with
the US opener and everyone begins in baseball. Later this week,
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Seven nine nine six six three six.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Nine, And then later this hour we will have the
Maler Militia feud. But a really good tabloidish story from
the world of pro bouncy ball. So the Miami Heat
are not only a basketball team, they are terrible, right
considering the standard for Miami Heat basketball, they blow. There's
(19:01):
all kinds of conspiracies on, like what happened? Is it
all because of Jimmy Butler's There's something else going on.
So there's been an internet rumor bouncing around for a
little while involving the ex wife of the Miami Heat
coach Eric Spolstra.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And I wasn't gonna bring this.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Up, but the ex wife did a two minute video
on social media commenting about the rumor, therefore giving.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Us, as one of my old bosses say.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Opening the door, opening the window to allow us to
talk about this. So Eric Spolstra, the coach of the
Miami Heat, divorced his I don't know how long they remember,
seven years or something like that. This woman, Nikki, and
she had worked for the Heat, like in the like
the cheerleading department or something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I don't know all the details. All I know is
some online reporting. I say that with you know, fingers
in the air. Air Quotes claimed that Spolster's ex wife
was somehow responsible for the downfall of the Miami Heat
and because she had.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Say noodled with one of the Heat players.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah about that, well, I mean I didn't somebody told
I didn't say it, somebody else said it. And anyway,
so she did about a two minute video denying the story.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
So what do you think happened? Of course people saw
the videos.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
She did it.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
She did, That's why she said that. She did that,
you know. And so now this thing's taking a life
of its own. It's really really next level.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
The ex wife or the Heat coach called the people
saying this sports trolls reacting to the rumors she denied
the story. She's one hundred percent, flat out not true
that she was stooping one of the players there for
the Miami My favorite part of the sponsor story is
he was getting divorced. It was tied up in the
(21:04):
court system for a while, and then like a day
or two after Maybe I'm exaggerating, but it was shortly
after the divorce went final, pat Riley in the Heat
handed him one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. So
after he paid out all the divorce money, they just
gave give a bunch of money over I scoll to
the phones I'm sure that story will have legs later today,
(21:24):
Let's say hello to blind Scott, who is on the
north end of Boston.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Hello, Blind Scott, welcome.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Oh hey, yea, it's almost baseball season here. So I'm thinking, like,
somebody pours a beer on me. Right, I'm down by
the field at Fenway Parks. I stayed someone just to
pour a beer on me completely while the game's going.
All of a sudden, them on the field, with my mobility,
came running around the field. I'm one hundred percent lined.
If he didn't know, security can't really put their hands
(21:52):
on me. There's lives for that, you know what I mean.
I'm just running around the bases. I like that idea
to dog.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
But how would you know where you're going?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
You get on the grass, you feel your feet. I'm
pretty nimble, I'm you know, I use my I can't, dude,
somebody savagely is a lot of clicking?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
What's going on here, Scott? There's a lot of clicking.
Is your phone dying?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No? No, I don't know. That's a thing behind me,
the thing that sucks up all the smoke. I mean,
I'm smoking like five ounces a week a week. Kid,
that was the.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Horrible It sounds horrible. That doesn't sound like an airfield.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Hey, Lebrady, you know how you get back with these
people that are giving you a hard time? Just have
sex with their wives. That's what I done. Yeah, some
of these people that harassed me on the show, I
literally slept with their wives. You know what I mean?
Like they give me a high time and then.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Why are you are you making this up? Agains Scott?
Which person? You have? Multiple personality?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
So a lot of listeners wives. I have dissociation identity disorder,
so I confront different personalities. So I was in the
sandwich wine over the weekend and some guy shoved me savagely.
I went into the outdoor. He was all of a
sudden when he saw that, he decided he's done having
a sandwich and he shoved me really hard. I was
going to give him a punch right in the face.
But I'm just trying to be cordial to people right now. Dude,
(23:08):
I'm going to Canada. I'm not round.
Speaker 1 (23:11):

Speaker 8 (27:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (27:36):

Croup doesn't think you're that stupid. You're just playing stupid.
You're not blonde though, so I don't know. Do I

all right, just calm down, Okay, should we do multiple
we don't want you got upset when I did multiple choice, right,
you don't want multiple choices?
Speaker 9 (28:12):
I mean I got the multiple choice that you did
last time was like so easy. Shouldn't need it multiple choices?
Oh that one was easy. I'm okay, I'm right, go ahead,
go ahead. Good, I'm not I'm not all right.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Well this one should be easy. You shouldn't need multiple choice,
but I'll do it anyway. Well, it's all right.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Which Major League Baseball legend was known as mister October.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Mister October, there's no chance. You definitely needs multiple choices.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
All right, We've got a Dave Winfield, be Derek Jeter,
and see Reggie Jackson. Which one do you want Lorena.
Question two, are you smarter than the FSR? Check cloon,
she's over one?
Speaker 9 (28:52):
Yeah, okay, I'm gonna go with Reggie Jackson.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Interesting, All right, Daniel, what's your answer? Daniel?
Speaker 6 (29:01):
I will definitely agree with Loraina. Mister Reggie Jackson for
hitting his home run in October.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
So that is that is cool? Look at you, you're
a sportswoman. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Reggie Jackson, mister October. He beat up the Dodgers in
the World Series, became known as mister October. Reggie Jackson.
All right, we're doing We're one.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
You're ahead, Daniel, but Lorena is quickly catching up.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Let's go to geography. Always a tough subject to do. Geography,
My guy, what a nightmare? All right, here we go.
Let's see how stupid should I go with the question?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Let's see here?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Ben?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Okay, yeah, boy, some of these just so easy.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Okay. Uh. What is the name of the line?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Lines that run east to west across a map?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
East to west across the map? Daniel, you want to
go first this time?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Daniel, this is a geography.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
I'm gonna guess equator.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Okay, Larida, what say you? Longitude? Ben?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
All you no, it's actually latitude, you know what.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
That's what I meant to say.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Latitude is what I meant.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
To tell it to the as long as it was
a long way. Latitude is the sideways that Yeah, you're close. No, No,
I was right. You know you didn't know. You didn't
get it right? That was right. The other answer is
just what was meant to come out? Alright, very good.
Let's see here. Let's go to why we're going to
(30:45):
pop culture? Right. I didn't tease this, but we'll do
a pop culture and uh, Ted Lass? You ever watched
Ted Lasso? You ever watched that show? No? Great show? Okay?
On Ted Lasso?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
What treat does Ted give his colleagues that they find irresistible?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
How old is this show? It's frond like twenty twenty. Yeah,
that's really old. I mean five years ago. Holy crap,
what did they eat? The show's coming back, isn't it.
I think it is. It's kind of back for season.
But I watched every episode and I don't even know
this really okay? Interesting? Repeat the question on Ted Lasso.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
What treat does Ted give his colleagues that they find irresistible?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Do they do?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I get multiple choice? No, I'm leaning towards either a
tutsi roll or a Starburst. It's very specific. It's a brand,
you know, like a kid.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You know, like when when you get like in kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Oh you did a job. Here's a little candy. Yeah,
so you're going candy.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, okay, walks up candy. What about you, Daniel? What
do you think Ted Lasso? What treat did Ted give
his colleagues that they found irresistible?
Speaker 6 (31:51):
I regret to say I do not watch Ted last
self because we don't have Apple TV.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Okay, too well, rain on candy.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Went and doubt agree with Lorena and you'll be wrong,
just like Jesus. Biscuits biscuits still biscuits.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, a cuss word, biscuits. We're doing biscuits and gravy.
You know you guys say that.
Speaker 9 (32:13):
I mean, I think the cookie is Actually I like
tots and gravy better than biscuits and gravy.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Well, because like in England, don't they call like cookies
biscuits or on.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
