Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom Shaka laka. It's our number fall of the original
recipe Ben Mahlor Show podcast. Don't forget. On this Friday,
the twenty eighth day of March, we will have a
brand spank and new edition of the Fifth Hour podcast.
(00:20):
So when you're done with this hour and you've already
heard the rest of the show, download that Fifth Hour podcast.
But here an hour number four. Kirk Cousins. It's Atlanta
Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins randomly popping up at a Chipotle
in Cleveland. Is this something or nothing? We'll discuss that,
(00:43):
and how do you classify the spirited battle and similarities
between Colts quarterback Daniel Jones and Anthony richardson those comments
coming from the front office in Indy. And also how
you dissect this relationship dynamic between Cam Newton and Carolina.
(01:06):
We'll talk about that as well. We'll get to all
of that and more right now here. It is have
a great weekend. We'll also have the Coop Scoop on
entertainment and sports Jeopardy. Here it is our number four
NFL news coming from the strangest of places. Welme come
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
(01:30):
We are in the air EveryWare Musketeers. I want you
to know we have a very deep bench here coast
to coast, border the voter and beyond on the mast
and stupendously powerful microphones of fsr ammundating live from the lounge,
(01:54):
the loquacious Audio Lounge, as we are broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers tyre
(02:14):
rack dot com The Way Tire Buying Show be I
know not a burner, a fan of the number ten thousand,
and so is random Ryan in Carolina. So our lead
this hour is not from the Sweet sixteen. We did
have some dramatics, only one close game and that was
(02:38):
the end of John Calipari and Arkansas as they have
been excommunicated from March madness. Texas Tech pulling the win
out in overtime. Down sixteen came back at one opening
days a thing in the past now the US Opening Day,
and we had a wild finish in the the wacky
(03:00):
wacky world of the NBA, the Chicago Bulls with a
win for the ages. But haid, this hour is from football,
and we had a very interesting story NFL breaking news
out of a Chipotle. That's right, you heard me right,
I'm not I'm not making this up. This must be
(03:22):
fake news, that must be sports Talk Barrier, but crack
sports or or Sentel. No. Then we have a mantra
that we start every day with a blank campus. Every
day we come in here and have no idea, Like
we walk in, we don't know really what we're gonna
talk about. Because whatever goes on, we react to it.
That's generally a job. That's a good job. You can
(03:43):
get it, you know, you just get to react to
what's going on. So we go where the news of
the day takes us. And even if that is a
random fast food restaurant in northern Ohio, say what so
if you didn't see this, Internet Sluice discovered that Atlanta
(04:04):
Falcon quarterback Kirk Cousins was visiting a Chipotle near Cleveland.
So initially people said, well, that's that's fake news, that's
that's an old photo, that's not Kirk Cousins. Recently, that's
and that's not even in Cleveland. Now, that story was
(04:27):
not debunked because kirk Cousins himself fueled the rumors that
he could soon be playing for the Morbid Browns of
the NFL. You see the quarterback He went on the
Socials under the photo and said, salad with double chicken
never fails me. See, I'm the opposite. Anything with salad
(04:51):
fails me. I'm on team al Michaels. I'm on Team
Puka Nakua. I'm on team no Salad. So recent reports
indicate that kirk Cousins is at the end of his
fuse when it comes to the Falcons. He's going to
not show up to the offseason workouts. He's preparing to
(05:13):
spend next season somewhere else. Right, He's not going to
be the backup to Michael Pennix Jr. The story is
he's waiting until after the NFL Draft, and at that point,
once you can't draft someone to replace him, that is
when he will pounce. So let us discuss. Yeah, I
(05:34):
do like that. So the question kirk Cousins randomly popping
up at a Chipotle in Cleveland, is this something or nothing?
So I've got Pamplona, Popular Vote and Sopranos and we
(05:55):
will combine all of these things together and and we
are gonna go boom, wamp crash, bang, thudd splat, because
those are all sounds that Kirk Cousins will make if
he wears a Cleveland Brown uniform. So we had a
minutes long mallar investigation. I love the fact that we
(06:16):
even included a reverse Google image search and we determined
that this is something. And here's why. Location, location, location.
If Kirk Cousins popped up at a Chipotle in Los Angeles,
(06:37):
if he went to get a bowl of chicken and
vegetables in Miami or New York City, we'd all roll
our eyes and say whoopede damn do, whooppe damn do. However,
Cleveland is a different animal. Why blowna the running of
(07:02):
the bulls or in this case, just bull That timeless
quote the immortal words of former Chicago bull Joe Kim Noah.
It's been about fifteen years now, and he went on
a rant and he said, I mean, I never heard
anybody say I'm going to Cleveland on vacation. What's so
(07:24):
good about Cleveland? Oh that's a great line, So it istory. Listen.
We have a lot of listeners in Ohio. We have
a lot of listeners in Cleveland. We're very grateful for that.
We thank you. But if you live there, you realize
that it is off the beaten path. I'll give you
an example. We are planning in at an Ohio meet
and Greek, so I've been looking at travel to try
(07:49):
to get to our preferred destination in Ohio. We're thinking
most likely in Columbus, and it's an all day. I
think I can get to parts of Africa quicker than
I can to parts of Ohio. It's wild. I think
I can fly into Pyongyang in North Korea smoother than
I can without having to stop as many times to
(08:10):
places in Ohio. It's off the beaten path. Is out
in the boondocks. There's not a lot of direct flights.
And the Browns they have a blank space at the
quarterback position. And thanks to social media, we know kirk
cousins entire culinary day. You see, it's not just that
he had Chipotle for lunch. He also went to a
(08:33):
local West side Cleveland barbecue joint for dinner and there
were some photos taken there. How many people recognize Kirk Cousins.
If Kirk Cousins was in front of you at a
restaurant and he wasn't wearing his helmet? Would you recognize him? Like,
(08:53):
I don't know that I would, I don't know any Now,
the hard oh football scribes, the they're like, well, there's
nothing here because Cousins is not allowed to talk to
the Browns. He's not allowed to talk to the Browns.
He doesn't have permission. So there's it's a nothing burger. Well,
time will tell, but the plot definitely has thickened. We'll
(09:17):
see what that's all about. Now. Secondly, we stay in
the NFL and we go to Indianapolis. Indianapolis, so the
Colts have a very depressing depth chart at quarterback. You
wouldn't know that from the general manager, Chris Ballard, the
(09:37):
Ballard of bull crap. So Chris Ballard says he expects
a quote spirited quarterback battle and says he sees a
lot of similarities that's the quote, a lot of similarities
in the skill set of Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.
(09:57):
So let me frame it this way for you. I
give you the framework on this. How would you classify
the words spirited in context with the battle and the
similarities between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson with the Colts.
So I've got two words for this football roster at
(10:21):
the quarterback position. Strategic incompetence. Those are my words, strategic incompetence.
Chris Ballard, he won the popular vote. He is the
mayor of Suckberg, congratulations, and he is teaching a very special,
very special curriculum. It is a disaster class players.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Who have been overwhelmed by NFL life for a thousand
on Jeopardy, nothing, nothing clicks for either one of these
guys other than ineptitude that they're really good at that ineptitude.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's the thirty something Quarterback Show. Not neither one of
these guys is in their thirties. But Daniel Jones was
the thirty six rank, thirty six, three six in the NFL,
thirty six ranked quarterback, and Anthony Richardson was dead last.
(11:26):
He was thirty ninth in the NFL. In between, you
had Deshaun Watson, who's now out of the NFL because
he's hurt a lot of time for the nice massage.
And you've got Spencer Rattler of the Saints, who was
in between. So you have put together an amazing collection
(11:50):
of manure at the quarterback position. Anthony Richardson and Daniel
Joes Congratulations. All right, now final thought, we go to Charlotte.
We head to show Arlotte, North Carolina, where the Carolina
Panthers have announced that their doors are open. The door
is open to have Cam Newton, franchise legend. Cam Newton,
(12:14):
who has said multiple times on podcasts and TV shows
that there is friction, there is tension between the team
and the player. He's implied that things are not going
very well well. A team spokes hacked for the Carolina
football team said, Cam Newton has been and will continue
(12:34):
to be welcomed by the Carolina Panthers. Our doors are open,
so they as they are to all team legends. So
if you're not a legend, they don't really want you there,
but if you're a legend, they'll welcome you back. We're
also hearing that Cam Newton has been invited on multiple
occasions to team sponsored events. He didn't bother to a take.
(12:58):
So the question how do you dissect the relationship? You
become the shrink. How do you dissect the relationship between
Cam Newton and the Carolina football team. So I will
play the role of the shrink. I'm gonna do this first,
all right. So my theory on what's going on here,
(13:19):
My hypothesis is that Cam Newton wants the kind of
a perk that players who win an MVP award again
being a loyal foot soldier. There was this old show
on HBO called The Sopranos years ago and they they
focused on part of it was no show jobs. And
(13:42):
Cam Newton, it's got to be that that's what he wants. Right,
the Panthers could name Cam Newton waste management consultant and
he can go out and collect money. Maybe he wants
some benefits and he doesn't have to perform any kind
of real job. Right, you reward Cam with that no
(14:02):
show job, and you reward him for being a good
player for the rest of his life. And those jobs,
those Team ambassaardor jobs, which is what that is. They're
no show jobs. I say, no show you just have
to show up and put up with people taking photos
of you and asking you to tell stories about when
(14:22):
you played, and the same stories over and over and
over again. And they pay back. In the day they
paid like eighty five thousand. I'm sure it's probably over
one hundred thousand now to just be on retainer and
a what a great no show job that you imagine
making one hundred thousand dollars and all you have to
do is show up and eat chicken wings and pretzels
(14:46):
and drink a couple of beers and tell stories back
in the day, back in my day. You know those
kind of stories. Yeah, the Humdinger stories. It is the
Ben Mahlor Show. We tell Homdinger stories all night long.

away and Cooper Loop is here though, Sailor to coop
At a Bronco fan and Marky Mark he's better than
all of us because he's not on social media. He's
on Facebook, but not ex and he's happy anyways. Giddy.
(16:51):
The White Sox are back. They are so back. The
White Sox have returned. Yeah, they won. Can they stop
playing now so they have a winning record? No? Probably not.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
If they just played the Angels the rest of the season,
they'll be the best team that ever played the game.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Did you watch any of that game?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Not a second?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Not a second. That's a lifelong Angel fan right there. Okay,
let's get back to it. Well, that that is correct.
Coop is a lifelong Angel fan. And if the Angels
were playing in your front yard, Coop, would you even
open the blinds or you would you just say, I'm
a little too busy.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
It's opening day and they had a position player out
there pitching.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yes, but you gotta save the you know, the pitchers
are tired. They pitched so much. They tried to win
the Cactus League, so they're a little tired there. Oh man,
once the season begins, it's just for Plunk, you know.
It's just that's a big problem.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I hope you You you other Angels fans out there
are not buying tickets and going to games. Do not
do not support that guy.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, people still do it though. It's like, yeah, it's
something to do. You know, you want to go out
to a ball game. Maybe it'll be like the Donald
Sterling Clippers, where they do the commercials for the other team.
It's like, don't see any of our guys go out
and watch the other the other team stars.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Well, I mean that's what uh, that's what eventually forced
like Frank McCourt to sell right or is that is
that just part of the legend, is it?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
No, No, it's true. The Dodgers, Well, the Dodgers are
a big money maker for Major League Baseball. They always are.
Wondered it used to be the Cardinals. The Cardinals have
fallen off a little bit. The Dodgers were always the
top one or two or three in attendance. And when
McCourt owned the team and he stopped Choy was the
top player. Uh, there was. There are very few people
going to the games, and the attendance did go down.
(18:48):
The TV ratings went down, and Bud Selick forced McCourt
to sell the team, although he gave him the parking
lots at Dodger Stadium, so he's still making a ton
of money. But yeah, that's that's true.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
So what you're saying is that would ever happened for
the Angels because they're not important enough to baseball to
begin with.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yes, that's what I'm saying. But no, the most powerful
thing you have as a fan is to no longer
give an f if you have apathy, if you stop caring,
like I'll give you. The same thing happened in Boston,
Like the Red Sox were not doing the last couple
of years have been suck years for the Red Sox,
and the Red Sox make a lot of money for baseball.
(19:25):
They went out and spent some money this year. I
don't agree with some of the moves they made, but
they went out, they traded for a pitcher. They give
them some suspects they signed cheating astro Alex Bregman. But
they try to get the buzz back because the team
had been morbid for several years.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Anyway, I don't think Jorge Solaire is moving the needle first.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
No, you know, I think that's getting the digital jones
up a little bit. Well, twins there, Coop, No, no twins.
All right, let's go to the phones. Let's say hello
to Eenie, Meenie, miney mode. Let's say a load to
tru Charlie, who's in Wisconsin. Hello Charlie, Good morning, Charlie, welcome. Hi.
Oh this is the famous Charlie. I remember, yes, Charlie.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yes, I wanted to talk about the Lakers. I can't
believe how disrespectful you are to the Lakers. I mean,
they just won a championship five years ago and they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
No, no that that didn't, Charlie, that didn't count. What
do you that was a fake? That was fake? That
was foe? That was that was counterfeit.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
How is that not fake?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
How is what not fake? The Dodgers?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
How was the Dodgers championship not fake?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Because that was harder? The Lakers was easier.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
But they were both in the COVID gear.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah. The difference is in basketball you normally go into
the playoffs and you're you're ragged. See.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
The difference is, Charlie is Ben is a Dodgers fan
and he hates the Lakers. That's the only real difference here.
Can I can I explain your explanation? Is it's nonsensical?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
No, it's accurate. The word is accurate. My word is accurate.
And I'm a truth teller, So, Charlie, in basketball, if
you take four months off before the playoffs or three
and a half months off, it is easier if you
don't have to travel. The hardest thing in the NBA is,
even though they have days off in the playoffs, playing
on the road, hostile environment. If you're playing and the
(21:22):
only opponent noise is some piped in music. Maybe they
might bring Donald Duck over. The Donald duck character. I
don't know, possibly, Goofy, that's not really that difficult baseball.
It was fundamentally different. It was a sixty game short season,
just two months.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Okay, So let me explain something to you, Charlie. The
mo of the Dodgers at that time was to do
great in the regular season and then sputter out as
it went on because they couldn't handle the grind of
the long season. So therefore, the shorter season benefited the Dodgers.
They were able to just go in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
And you're you're just embarrassing yourself, Coop. You call me
out of you're talking out of your tokaus. You don't
even believe that, nobody.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I'm pretty sure I'm speaking fact.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
No, you're not. The Dodgers probably choked in the playoffs. Uh,
they would get pretty far in the playoffs and they
would fall apart. But that year they didn't.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
They wrote because because they had a shortened season, they
had one hundred less games.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It was much more difficult, it was. It was much
harder in baseball. We all know, the real ones know
that Coop's not a real one. Go ahead charge anything else, Charlie.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Yeah, I have a joke for you.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, the jokes are over, Charle. This is we're a
big time morning show down at this hour.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
It's a mile joke.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
So oh you want to you want to give it
to Mike the Leprecaun. Yes, all right, let's put put
Mike the Leprecaun on. Mike's going to be so excited
someone actually doesn't hate his guts. Uh, Mike, Michael, Mike,
Mike the lepreconn. We have one of your fans here,
Mike the Michael. Let the time. What is what is
going on?
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Is going well, Charlie, like goose down.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
My goot?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait because there
was a stone cut there this morning. Is that real?
Is that a real goose? Oh my god, what is happening?
There's a goose in my room. There's a goose on
the loose. Wait wait a goose got in your room?
Oh because I was seating him and and those are
(23:33):
stone counts there again.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Sure I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
The animal Kingdom.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
This is right?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Like it sounds like it sounds like Harley. It sounds
like hollering James when he's calling the show. Anyway, Charlie,
you have a joke for me, and I have a
joke for you. Yes, oh god, this is gonna be you.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
I love you, you do your friend.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
I wouldn't mind.
Speaker 1 (24:07):

You gotta work on your delivery, my man, that job

I'll punch you later. I thank you, I'll go away.
There's Charlie. That was pretty funny. I did not have
that on my things. I thought were going to happen.

are shutting the radio off here in Boston on the
way to work because Los Angeles Dodger talk is terrible.
We want red talk talk. The Los Angeles dodge is
(26:58):
like so one Sindris is one of the worst cities
ever to live and it's terrible. You know, nobody wants

Speaker 7 (29:02):
He's from Michigan. Like, you know, if you're from the Midwest,
you don't like have like solid teams like that's where
you're That's how you make a living off these people
in the Midwest.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Of Yeah, I know you're taking shot. You took shots
at l a, you took shots at my Midwest people.
How dare you you? Loserr? So we got four games tonight.
I'm looking at the I'm fussing around on DraftKings right,
DraftKings sports Book. I'm looking around there, and I'm like,
what do you think you're gonna get an upset here?
(29:32):
And the one that I circled on DraftKings is Old Miss. Now,
normally you would just bet on Old SPARTI and and
Tom I is oh, but I got I got Ole
Miss at plus three and a half over on DraftKings.
That's the one I circled. Now, I've been doing terrible
in the tournament, but that's the one I'm circling as
(29:54):
as the most likely upset of the games. Because the
other the other games, uh, Tennessee's favorite by four and
a half, Auburn is favored by eight and a half
over Michigan. Tennessee place Kentucky by the way, and Houston
is an eight and a half point favorite over Purdue.
So I have a I have a feeling in my
bones that'll be similar tonight here on Friday night the
(30:15):
way it was Thursday, where there's a lot of blowouts
and lopsided games, but there'll be one close game, and
I'm betting it'll be that early game Ole Miss and
Michigan State. So we'll keep an eye on that. It
is the the Ben Mallins Shows. We press on here
and we'll say hello to boy the hitch just keep coming.
We've had a wild goose. We had delusional callers telling jokes,
(30:40):

Speaker 7 (32:13):
The entertainment starts right now for this Friday.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Here's justin Cooper. Thank you, Marcel. All right, Ben, we're
gonna start off in the theaters, and we have a
couple of movies of note to talk about. It out this.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Week's tribute to Eddie Garcia. That's note.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
The first one I'm going to bring up about in
neither of these movies. By the way, I have been
blowing critics out of the water, but that doesn't mean
that they're not fun. So the first one is called
Death of a Unicorn.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Critics aren't real people? Death of a Unicorn. Yes, it's
like a fun movie for little girls.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
It's a rated R horror comedy and it stars Jenna Ortega,
the Great Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd and uh yeah.
Basically the premise is this. When a man and his
daughter accidentally hit and kill a unicorn with their car,
his boss tries to exploit the creature's miraculous curative properties
(33:10):
with horrific results.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yes, he's there an actual unicorn in there.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I mean, I haven't seen the trailers. I've seen posters.
It does seem to be. It seems there's like some
evil kind of twist to it.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Are unicorns real?
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I don't believe? So well, no there is.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
He's on the Celtics fist off porzingis that's true?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
And never mind? Okay, moving moving on. We also have
a another horror movie out this weekend. It is called
The Woman in the Yard.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I hate women in the yard, hate them.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Yes, especially this one. This is a scary, veiled looking
woman that kind of stalks. This family kind of kind
of deathly looking coolish, yeah, you know which kind of thing.
And she keeps getting closer and closer to the house
and then, uh, the horror ensues.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I'm catching a spell on you. That's right.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
So that is in theaters right now as well. Those
are the two movies that I think could be worth
worth your time. I don't know about the money.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Wow, used to be a big movie guy. I remember
you had that movie pass.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Still I still have I still have that. Yeah, that's right,
So it's worth it for me to go see it
because it's you know, you're a movie guy. Yeah, but
if you're paying for each ticket, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
You're waiting for Liar Liar too cool?
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Please please somebody somebody writing.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
You could be the Jim Carrey character, right, you could
be the liar guy. That's right, you could be the liar.
You're all grown up now, like the kid, the kid
from Liar Liar grows up and then you have a family,
and then you and your kid comes up with the
claw because it's genetic, you.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Know, right, Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
All right, I got the whole script. We got to
write it. Hey, I can write it, right, just have
a I write it. What the hell?
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I don't know if it's that good yet, but hey,
there's been there have been worse sequels to be released,
that's for sure. I'm positive.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Moving over to television, we have the premiere of the
third and final season of Bosh Legacy. Now, this is

(00:20):
So when you're done with this hour and you've already
heard the rest of the show, download that Fifth Hour podcast.
But here an hour number four. Kirk Cousins. It's Atlanta
Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins randomly popping up at a Chipotle
in Cleveland. Is this something or nothing? We'll discuss that,
(00:43):
and how do you classify the spirited battle and similarities
between Colts quarterback Daniel Jones and Anthony richardson those comments
coming from the front office in Indy. And also how
you dissect this relationship dynamic between Cam Newton and Carolina.
(01:06):
We'll talk about that as well. We'll get to all
of that and more right now here. It is have
a great weekend. We'll also have the Coop Scoop on
entertainment and sports Jeopardy. Here it is our number four
NFL news coming from the strangest of places. Welme come
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
(01:30):
We are in the air EveryWare Musketeers. I want you
to know we have a very deep bench here coast
to coast, border the voter and beyond on the mast
and stupendously powerful microphones of fsr ammundating live from the lounge,
(01:54):
the loquacious Audio Lounge, as we are broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers tyre
(02:14):
rack dot com The Way Tire Buying Show be I
know not a burner, a fan of the number ten thousand,
and so is random Ryan in Carolina. So our lead
this hour is not from the Sweet sixteen. We did
have some dramatics, only one close game and that was
(02:38):
the end of John Calipari and Arkansas as they have
been excommunicated from March madness. Texas Tech pulling the win
out in overtime. Down sixteen came back at one opening
days a thing in the past now the US Opening Day,
and we had a wild finish in the the wacky
(03:00):
wacky world of the NBA, the Chicago Bulls with a
win for the ages. But haid, this hour is from football,
and we had a very interesting story NFL breaking news
out of a Chipotle. That's right, you heard me right,
I'm not I'm not making this up. This must be
(03:22):
fake news, that must be sports Talk Barrier, but crack
sports or or Sentel. No. Then we have a mantra
that we start every day with a blank campus. Every
day we come in here and have no idea, Like
we walk in, we don't know really what we're gonna
talk about. Because whatever goes on, we react to it.
That's generally a job. That's a good job. You can
(03:43):
get it, you know, you just get to react to
what's going on. So we go where the news of
the day takes us. And even if that is a
random fast food restaurant in northern Ohio, say what so
if you didn't see this, Internet Sluice discovered that Atlanta
(04:04):
Falcon quarterback Kirk Cousins was visiting a Chipotle near Cleveland.
So initially people said, well, that's that's fake news, that's
that's an old photo, that's not Kirk Cousins. Recently, that's
and that's not even in Cleveland. Now, that story was
(04:27):
not debunked because kirk Cousins himself fueled the rumors that
he could soon be playing for the Morbid Browns of
the NFL. You see the quarterback He went on the
Socials under the photo and said, salad with double chicken
never fails me. See, I'm the opposite. Anything with salad
(04:51):
fails me. I'm on team al Michaels. I'm on Team
Puka Nakua. I'm on team no Salad. So recent reports
indicate that kirk Cousins is at the end of his
fuse when it comes to the Falcons. He's going to
not show up to the offseason workouts. He's preparing to
(05:13):
spend next season somewhere else. Right, He's not going to
be the backup to Michael Pennix Jr. The story is
he's waiting until after the NFL Draft, and at that point,
once you can't draft someone to replace him, that is
when he will pounce. So let us discuss. Yeah, I
(05:34):
do like that. So the question kirk Cousins randomly popping
up at a Chipotle in Cleveland, is this something or nothing?
So I've got Pamplona, Popular Vote and Sopranos and we
(05:55):
will combine all of these things together and and we
are gonna go boom, wamp crash, bang, thudd splat, because
those are all sounds that Kirk Cousins will make if
he wears a Cleveland Brown uniform. So we had a
minutes long mallar investigation. I love the fact that we
(06:16):
even included a reverse Google image search and we determined
that this is something. And here's why. Location, location, location.
If Kirk Cousins popped up at a Chipotle in Los Angeles,
(06:37):
if he went to get a bowl of chicken and
vegetables in Miami or New York City, we'd all roll
our eyes and say whoopede damn do, whooppe damn do. However,
Cleveland is a different animal. Why blowna the running of
(07:02):
the bulls or in this case, just bull That timeless
quote the immortal words of former Chicago bull Joe Kim Noah.
It's been about fifteen years now, and he went on
a rant and he said, I mean, I never heard
anybody say I'm going to Cleveland on vacation. What's so
(07:24):
good about Cleveland? Oh that's a great line, So it istory. Listen.
We have a lot of listeners in Ohio. We have
a lot of listeners in Cleveland. We're very grateful for that.
We thank you. But if you live there, you realize
that it is off the beaten path. I'll give you
an example. We are planning in at an Ohio meet
and Greek, so I've been looking at travel to try
(07:49):
to get to our preferred destination in Ohio. We're thinking
most likely in Columbus, and it's an all day. I
think I can get to parts of Africa quicker than
I can to parts of Ohio. It's wild. I think
I can fly into Pyongyang in North Korea smoother than
I can without having to stop as many times to
(08:10):
places in Ohio. It's off the beaten path. Is out
in the boondocks. There's not a lot of direct flights.
And the Browns they have a blank space at the
quarterback position. And thanks to social media, we know kirk
cousins entire culinary day. You see, it's not just that
he had Chipotle for lunch. He also went to a
(08:33):
local West side Cleveland barbecue joint for dinner and there
were some photos taken there. How many people recognize Kirk Cousins.
If Kirk Cousins was in front of you at a
restaurant and he wasn't wearing his helmet? Would you recognize him? Like,
(08:53):
I don't know that I would, I don't know any Now,
the hard oh football scribes, the they're like, well, there's
nothing here because Cousins is not allowed to talk to
the Browns. He's not allowed to talk to the Browns.
He doesn't have permission. So there's it's a nothing burger. Well,
time will tell, but the plot definitely has thickened. We'll
(09:17):
see what that's all about. Now. Secondly, we stay in
the NFL and we go to Indianapolis. Indianapolis, so the
Colts have a very depressing depth chart at quarterback. You
wouldn't know that from the general manager, Chris Ballard, the
(09:37):
Ballard of bull crap. So Chris Ballard says he expects
a quote spirited quarterback battle and says he sees a
lot of similarities that's the quote, a lot of similarities
in the skill set of Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.
(09:57):
So let me frame it this way for you. I
give you the framework on this. How would you classify
the words spirited in context with the battle and the
similarities between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson with the Colts.
So I've got two words for this football roster at
(10:21):
the quarterback position. Strategic incompetence. Those are my words, strategic incompetence.
Chris Ballard, he won the popular vote. He is the
mayor of Suckberg, congratulations, and he is teaching a very special,
very special curriculum. It is a disaster class players.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Who have been overwhelmed by NFL life for a thousand
on Jeopardy, nothing, nothing clicks for either one of these
guys other than ineptitude that they're really good at that ineptitude.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's the thirty something Quarterback Show. Not neither one of
these guys is in their thirties. But Daniel Jones was
the thirty six rank, thirty six, three six in the NFL,
thirty six ranked quarterback, and Anthony Richardson was dead last.
(11:26):
He was thirty ninth in the NFL. In between, you
had Deshaun Watson, who's now out of the NFL because
he's hurt a lot of time for the nice massage.
And you've got Spencer Rattler of the Saints, who was
in between. So you have put together an amazing collection
(11:50):
of manure at the quarterback position. Anthony Richardson and Daniel
Joes Congratulations. All right, now final thought, we go to Charlotte.
We head to show Arlotte, North Carolina, where the Carolina
Panthers have announced that their doors are open. The door
is open to have Cam Newton, franchise legend. Cam Newton,
(12:14):
who has said multiple times on podcasts and TV shows
that there is friction, there is tension between the team
and the player. He's implied that things are not going
very well well. A team spokes hacked for the Carolina
football team said, Cam Newton has been and will continue
(12:34):
to be welcomed by the Carolina Panthers. Our doors are open,
so they as they are to all team legends. So
if you're not a legend, they don't really want you there,
but if you're a legend, they'll welcome you back. We're
also hearing that Cam Newton has been invited on multiple
occasions to team sponsored events. He didn't bother to a take.
(12:58):
So the question how do you dissect the relationship? You
become the shrink. How do you dissect the relationship between
Cam Newton and the Carolina football team. So I will
play the role of the shrink. I'm gonna do this first,
all right. So my theory on what's going on here,
(13:19):
My hypothesis is that Cam Newton wants the kind of
a perk that players who win an MVP award again
being a loyal foot soldier. There was this old show
on HBO called The Sopranos years ago and they they
focused on part of it was no show jobs. And
(13:42):
Cam Newton, it's got to be that that's what he wants. Right,
the Panthers could name Cam Newton waste management consultant and
he can go out and collect money. Maybe he wants
some benefits and he doesn't have to perform any kind
of real job. Right, you reward Cam with that no
(14:02):
show job, and you reward him for being a good
player for the rest of his life. And those jobs,
those Team ambassaardor jobs, which is what that is. They're
no show jobs. I say, no show you just have
to show up and put up with people taking photos
of you and asking you to tell stories about when
(14:22):
you played, and the same stories over and over and
over again. And they pay back. In the day they
paid like eighty five thousand. I'm sure it's probably over
one hundred thousand now to just be on retainer and
a what a great no show job that you imagine
making one hundred thousand dollars and all you have to
do is show up and eat chicken wings and pretzels
(14:46):
and drink a couple of beers and tell stories back
in the day, back in my day. You know those
kind of stories. Yeah, the Humdinger stories. It is the
Ben Mahlor Show. We tell Homdinger stories all night long.
And if you would like to be part, you can

(16:51):
The White Sox are back. They are so back. The
White Sox have returned. Yeah, they won. Can they stop
playing now so they have a winning record? No? Probably not.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
If they just played the Angels the rest of the season,
they'll be the best team that ever played the game.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Did you watch any of that game?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Not a second?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Not a second. That's a lifelong Angel fan right there. Okay,
let's get back to it. Well, that that is correct.
Coop is a lifelong Angel fan. And if the Angels
were playing in your front yard, Coop, would you even
open the blinds or you would you just say, I'm
a little too busy.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
It's opening day and they had a position player out
there pitching.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yes, but you gotta save the you know, the pitchers
are tired. They pitched so much. They tried to win
the Cactus League, so they're a little tired there. Oh man,
once the season begins, it's just for Plunk, you know.
It's just that's a big problem.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I hope you You you other Angels fans out there
are not buying tickets and going to games. Do not
do not support that guy.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, people still do it though. It's like, yeah, it's
something to do. You know, you want to go out
to a ball game. Maybe it'll be like the Donald
Sterling Clippers, where they do the commercials for the other team.
It's like, don't see any of our guys go out
and watch the other the other team stars.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Well, I mean that's what uh, that's what eventually forced
like Frank McCourt to sell right or is that is
that just part of the legend, is it?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
No, No, it's true. The Dodgers, Well, the Dodgers are
a big money maker for Major League Baseball. They always are.
Wondered it used to be the Cardinals. The Cardinals have
fallen off a little bit. The Dodgers were always the
top one or two or three in attendance. And when
McCourt owned the team and he stopped Choy was the
top player. Uh, there was. There are very few people
going to the games, and the attendance did go down.
(18:48):
The TV ratings went down, and Bud Selick forced McCourt
to sell the team, although he gave him the parking
lots at Dodger Stadium, so he's still making a ton
of money. But yeah, that's that's true.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
So what you're saying is that would ever happened for
the Angels because they're not important enough to baseball to
begin with.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yes, that's what I'm saying. But no, the most powerful
thing you have as a fan is to no longer
give an f if you have apathy, if you stop caring,
like I'll give you. The same thing happened in Boston,
Like the Red Sox were not doing the last couple
of years have been suck years for the Red Sox,
and the Red Sox make a lot of money for baseball.
(19:25):
They went out and spent some money this year. I
don't agree with some of the moves they made, but
they went out, they traded for a pitcher. They give
them some suspects they signed cheating astro Alex Bregman. But
they try to get the buzz back because the team
had been morbid for several years.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Anyway, I don't think Jorge Solaire is moving the needle first.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
No, you know, I think that's getting the digital jones
up a little bit. Well, twins there, Coop, No, no twins.
All right, let's go to the phones. Let's say hello
to Eenie, Meenie, miney mode. Let's say a load to
tru Charlie, who's in Wisconsin. Hello Charlie, Good morning, Charlie, welcome. Hi.
Oh this is the famous Charlie. I remember, yes, Charlie.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yes, I wanted to talk about the Lakers. I can't
believe how disrespectful you are to the Lakers. I mean,
they just won a championship five years ago and they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
No, no that that didn't, Charlie, that didn't count. What
do you that was a fake? That was fake? That
was foe? That was that was counterfeit.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
How is that not fake?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
How is what not fake? The Dodgers?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
How was the Dodgers championship not fake?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Because that was harder? The Lakers was easier.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
But they were both in the COVID gear.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah. The difference is in basketball you normally go into
the playoffs and you're you're ragged. See.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
The difference is, Charlie is Ben is a Dodgers fan
and he hates the Lakers. That's the only real difference here.
Can I can I explain your explanation? Is it's nonsensical?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
No, it's accurate. The word is accurate. My word is accurate.
And I'm a truth teller, So, Charlie, in basketball, if
you take four months off before the playoffs or three
and a half months off, it is easier if you
don't have to travel. The hardest thing in the NBA is,
even though they have days off in the playoffs, playing
on the road, hostile environment. If you're playing and the
(21:22):
only opponent noise is some piped in music. Maybe they
might bring Donald Duck over. The Donald duck character. I
don't know, possibly, Goofy, that's not really that difficult baseball.
It was fundamentally different. It was a sixty game short season,
just two months.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Okay, So let me explain something to you, Charlie. The
mo of the Dodgers at that time was to do
great in the regular season and then sputter out as
it went on because they couldn't handle the grind of
the long season. So therefore, the shorter season benefited the Dodgers.
They were able to just go in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
And you're you're just embarrassing yourself, Coop. You call me
out of you're talking out of your tokaus. You don't
even believe that, nobody.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I'm pretty sure I'm speaking fact.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
No, you're not. The Dodgers probably choked in the playoffs. Uh,
they would get pretty far in the playoffs and they
would fall apart. But that year they didn't.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
They wrote because because they had a shortened season, they
had one hundred less games.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It was much more difficult, it was. It was much
harder in baseball. We all know, the real ones know
that Coop's not a real one. Go ahead charge anything else, Charlie.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Yeah, I have a joke for you.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, the jokes are over, Charle. This is we're a
big time morning show down at this hour.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
It's a mile joke.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
So oh you want to you want to give it
to Mike the Leprecaun. Yes, all right, let's put put
Mike the Leprecaun on. Mike's going to be so excited
someone actually doesn't hate his guts. Uh, Mike, Michael, Mike,
Mike the lepreconn. We have one of your fans here,
Mike the Michael. Let the time. What is what is
going on?
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Is going well, Charlie, like goose down.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
My goot?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait because there
was a stone cut there this morning. Is that real?
Is that a real goose? Oh my god, what is happening?
There's a goose in my room. There's a goose on
the loose. Wait wait a goose got in your room?
Oh because I was seating him and and those are

Speaker 6 (23:37):
Sure I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
The animal Kingdom.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
This is right?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Like it sounds like it sounds like Harley. It sounds
like hollering James when he's calling the show. Anyway, Charlie,
you have a joke for me, and I have a
joke for you. Yes, oh god, this is gonna be you.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
I love you, you do your friend.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
I wouldn't mind.
Speaker 1 (24:07):

I'll punch you later. I thank you, I'll go away.
There's Charlie. That was pretty funny. I did not have

Speaker 7 (26:37):
Them, they sucked. They commercialize this place and ruined it.
So selling meatballs for twenty dollars, you're a bunch of
Italian Americans, say, dude, that guy Charlie I had to
check his idea my social media. I scheduled him to
be on the Blind dem podcast. Dude. You know, people
are shutting the radio off here in Boston on the
way to work because Los Angeles Dodger talk is terrible.
We want red talk talk. The Los Angeles dodge is
(26:58):
like so one Sindris is one of the worst cities
ever to live and it's terrible. You know, nobody wants
to live there. People move there because they think they're
going to become famous and their dreams just get crushed there.
My buddy al Citron, he went to the Dodgers game
and there's all gang members there. He's Puerto Rican. They
want to fight at them. They had the gang signs up.
There's Roberto there, he's all dronk.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You think, is this the hour of just making stuff up?
Are we just in the hour of this? I feel
like we're in the hour of just making stuff up.
Let's just make stuff up. Let's just make crap up,
and we'll just say crap on the radio. And why
don't we add a goose? Why don't we have a
damn goose in there? We got that? I mean, what

Speaker 7 (27:41):
The stupid dude from Ireland. He has that goose as
a pet. That's illegal in Massachusetts. And he's a teacher. Dude,
he's the biggest freak ever. That guy. You should put
him on the air right away every time. I can't
believe one thing about Boston is they never check at
these people's ideas from Ireland. They let them all come
in right into Boston. And now we're stuck with this guy.
He's getting paid off the state and everything. Dude, somebody
(28:02):
grabbed my wrist today when I was at the dispensary
the matter what.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Wait wait, wait, hold, you're getting paid by the state.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
No, I have disability as.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
You're that's getting paid by the state of Massachusetts. You're
getting paid.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
That's an entitlement plan. I have a hearing aid and
I'm blind too, you know, so I guess you.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Don't have a hearing I mention you I've seen you
have any You don't have a hearing aid.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Yeah, I have a little hearing aid in the back
out of amplifier.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Here.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
You heard it click and the other day the battery.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Was well you know, oh really, you didn't have that
when I met last time. I saw you.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Today, I'm in my forties now, you know, I'm getting older. Dude,
the guy he grabs my wrist and he tries to
pull me because I cut the line. So he pulled
me to the back of the line. And I didn't
like that, Like, you don't do that to a blind person.
You know what I'm saying. Blind people can cut the lines,
you know what I mean? How would a blind person
wait in like a ten percent one?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Dude?
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Fred's team is the Cardinals dead Central Division in baseball
is terrible. Yeah, see it's weird. He's from Wit to
the Midwest.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
It is we'd like from Saint Louis.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
He's from Michigan. Like, you know, if you're from the Midwest,
you don't like have like solid teams like that's where
you're That's how you make a living off these people
in the Midwest.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Of Yeah, I know you're taking shot. You took shots
at l a, you took shots at my Midwest people.
How dare you you? Loserr? So we got four games tonight.
I'm looking at the I'm fussing around on DraftKings right,
DraftKings sports Book. I'm looking around there, and I'm like,
what do you think you're gonna get an upset here?
(29:32):
And the one that I circled on DraftKings is Old Miss. Now,
normally you would just bet on Old SPARTI and and
Tom I is oh, but I got I got Ole
Miss at plus three and a half over on DraftKings.
That's the one I circled. Now, I've been doing terrible
in the tournament, but that's the one I'm circling as
(29:54):
as the most likely upset of the games. Because the
other the other games, uh, Tennessee's favorite by four and
a half, Auburn is favored by eight and a half
over Michigan. Tennessee place Kentucky by the way, and Houston
is an eight and a half point favorite over Purdue.
So I have a I have a feeling in my
bones that'll be similar tonight here on Friday night the
(30:15):
way it was Thursday, where there's a lot of blowouts
and lopsided games, but there'll be one close game, and
I'm betting it'll be that early game Ole Miss and
Michigan State. So we'll keep an eye on that. It
is the the Ben Mallins Shows. We press on here
and we'll say hello to boy the hitch just keep coming.
We've had a wild goose. We had delusional callers telling jokes,

Speaker 4 (32:17):
Here's justin Cooper. Thank you, Marcel. All right, Ben, we're
gonna start off in the theaters, and we have a
couple of movies of note to talk about. It out this.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Week's tribute to Eddie Garcia. That's note.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
The first one I'm going to bring up about in
neither of these movies. By the way, I have been
blowing critics out of the water, but that doesn't mean
that they're not fun. So the first one is called
Death of a Unicorn.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Critics aren't real people? Death of a Unicorn. Yes, it's
like a fun movie for little girls.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
It's a rated R horror comedy and it stars Jenna Ortega,
the Great Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd and uh yeah.
Basically the premise is this. When a man and his
daughter accidentally hit and kill a unicorn with their car,
his boss tries to exploit the creature's miraculous curative properties
(33:10):
with horrific results.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yes, he's there an actual unicorn in there.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I mean, I haven't seen the trailers. I've seen posters.
It does seem to be. It seems there's like some
evil kind of twist to it.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Are unicorns real?
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I don't believe? So well, no there is.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
He's on the Celtics fist off porzingis that's true?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
And never mind? Okay, moving moving on. We also have
a another horror movie out this weekend. It is called
The Woman in the Yard.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I hate women in the yard, hate them.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Yes, especially this one. This is a scary, veiled looking
woman that kind of stalks. This family kind of kind
of deathly looking coolish, yeah, you know which kind of thing.
And she keeps getting closer and closer to the house
and then, uh, the horror ensues.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I'm catching a spell on you. That's right.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
So that is in theaters right now as well. Those
are the two movies that I think could be worth
worth your time. I don't know about the money.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Wow, used to be a big movie guy. I remember
you had that movie pass.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Still I still have I still have that. Yeah, that's right,
So it's worth it for me to go see it
because it's you know, you're a movie guy. Yeah, but
if you're paying for each ticket, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
You're waiting for Liar Liar too cool?
Speaker 4 (34:41):

be the liar guy. That's right, you could be the liar.
You're all grown up now, like the kid, the kid
from Liar Liar grows up and then you have a family,

that's for sure. I'm positive.
