Speaker 1 (00:00):
He we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number four, our number four, ready to go,
and the obligatory mald monologue about Aaran Rogers in the burg.
Now Rogers says he doesn't give an s it's a
bad word. He doesn't give an ass about doubters. Ahead
of his twenty first NFL season, believe it or not,
Robert Kraft is bragging about Mike Rabel as Patriots coach.
(00:24):
Said he been a coaching candidate years earlier, and he
remembers the moment he decided to hire Mike Rabel. That
is blank will go there. And rookie quarterback cam Ward
called the Titans offense very mid says it starts with
him amid his struggles. How is that going to play out?
(00:44):
We'll take a look at that as well. It is
all coming your way right now. Buckle up, buckeroo. It's
a magically delicious our number four. And here it is
not worrying And I'm not this thing. That's the story. Yeah,
that's the story. I believe it unless I don't welcome.
(01:05):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, side by side as
we are decoded and dangerous, oh so dangerous. Coast to coast,
border to border and beyond. On the vast and outspokenly
(01:26):
powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from the treatment.
We give you the silent treatment, unless we don't, because.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
That's taboo when you do audio only from the.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Kathy in Madison.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
She approves that message. And hey, it's a big day today.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
It's Miracle Treat Day at DQ. Now that means one
dollar or more from every delicious Lizard treat will be
donated to your local member hospitals of the Children's Miracle
Network Hospitals Blizzard Treats or even sweeter when they support
kids who need it most.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Deek you happy taste goods.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Why I got the nickname Benny Blizzards planning on hanging
out's hot hot summertime right last day of July, nice
warm weather, got to a dairy.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Queen, have a blizzard and they give a couple bucks back.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
So our lead this hour is from Pittsburg, Sylvania. It
is our obligatory air and Rogers Mallard monologue reference and
we go to Steelers Camp.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Now, if you didn't hear about this, maybe not not Aaron.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Rogers has declared to his bestie, his therapist, Pat McAfee,
that he doesn't give a blank word for poof about
his critics.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So that's that's a good jumping off point, if you will.
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Steelers quarterback Airan Rogers says he does not give an
s word about the doubters, this ahead of what's going
to be his twenty first season in the NFL. Believe
it or not, believe it or not. So I've got
my take on this. I've got Santa Claus sixth sense
and McDonald's and we'll combine all of these things together
(03:20):
and we're gonna make a big mac with Goba gool
on top, with the Goba gool on top, all right,
So to kick off here, just for the record, not
not a believer, not a believer, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Don't believe it, not for a second.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And here's why I've.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Seen it, all right, Rogers, what does he do? He
lives for this?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The man I'm convinced has Google alerts set up for
his own name that when he's bored, he's futsing around,
he's wearing special glasses because he doesn't want the blue Light.
But he's on his phone. He's futzing around and he's
like trying to find his name.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
And a lot of these quarterbacks are like that.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I've had multiple over the years, multiple NFL quarterbacks that
have I didn't tag them in anything, but they searched
their name and commented on something that I said when
I didn't tag them in it. But if you say,
like Rogers washed Aaron Rodgers washed on even like some
podcasts that has seven people listening that you record in
(04:23):
your basement, he'll hear about it in four minutes, not
five minutes, but four minutes, right, And so I love
that Rogers is pretending like he doesn't care. I don't care.
That's like Caleb Williams saying he doesn't love nail polish
while he's playing quarterback for the Bears. Of course he
loves nail polish. Now, Rogers, though, he treats the media
(04:47):
narrative like its game film.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Remember when he was in Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And he would intentionally mislead he tossed stuff out and
then just watch all the cockroach is running around.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
He feeds off it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I am convinced when it comes to his name in
the media, Aaron Rodgers is like Santa Claus with receipts, right.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He knows when you're sleeping, he knows when you're doubting.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And you know there's some alternative universe out there in
the multiverse where there's a glory road dimension to the
multiverse and it actually works in Pittsburgh. It doesn't look
like it's gonna work, but it works. You know that
world where Rogers stays healthy, plays all seventeen games, DK
(05:36):
Metcalf goes next level wide receiver and they go on
a run and some other guys get hurt. It's Fantasyland.
They win the Super Bowl. Rogers gives an Emmy worthy
postgame speech about nobody believed in us, they all counted
us out. Yet he says he doesn't care and all that.
(05:57):
He'll say it while holding the Lombardi have a smug,
little grin, you know, that little annoying grin there, And
he'll reference some comment on X that was made back
in June or someone said he was done, and yeah,
it's got the I'm sure he's got that grudge board,
(06:18):
not drudge grudge board somewhere in his phone or maybe
since locker, and just know it's coming and I'll bet you.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I mean, you mark the tape.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
If the Steelers do good, Rogers is gonna bring all
this up. If the Steelers somehow pull it off, and
Rogers is absolutely going to go out there and give
the they doubted us speech, which, oh, by the way,
everyone does, even when you're supposed to win. I used
to love back when the Patriots were predicted to win
every year, and then they would win, and then somebody
(06:49):
would come out like Tom Brady. Oh they didn't think
we can do it, but we did it. But in
terms of Aaron Rodgers, he'd come out so well, they
said I was too old, They said I was too old,
or two injured or washed up, and you can hear it.
He craves it. This is the same guy who for
years has gone on Pat McAfee every week as like therapy,
(07:12):
but really just to stir the pot, because he knows
whatever Rogers says when he goes on that show will
be repackaged and chopped up and the little bite sized pieces,
and then he'll just sit there in the back of
the room and watch everything.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
He's not ignoring the noise.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
He is the noise. Like Rogers does not care what
people think, he needs, whatever they think, right, it's his oxygen,
the whole. I don't care act total bullshoy, total bullshoy.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
He cares more than anyone. He does. He's not floating
above it. Rogers is knee deep in the mud.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Knee deep.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
He is all right. Now.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Furthermore, we pivot now to Foxborough. Another gem this week
from the grand pool bah of the patsis. Patriots owner
Robert Craft recently recalled a magic moment, a magic moment
that he knew. He said, Ah, this is a moment
I knew that Mike Vrabel would become New England's coach,
(08:15):
that this could be his team.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Now, what was that moment?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Do you see this?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So, Robert Craft pointed to the twenty nineteen playoffs early
twenty twenty when the Tennessee Titans upset the Tom Brady,
Bill Belichick Patriots, and that was the game. Ryan Tannehill
passed for seventy two yards that day. However, Derrick Henry
(08:41):
ran for almost two hundred. The Patriots defense put back
in the stone age that day at Tennessee, winning that game.
So question, you've got Robert Craft, owner of the Patriots,
out there bragging, very braggadocious, telling them, well, Mike Vrabel
at that point, you know that was I knew he
would be a pot coaching candidate years before I ended
(09:03):
up hiring because of that. That is blank fill in
the blank.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So my word is.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Deja vote. And I'm not talking about the strip club.
It's all part of Robert Kraft's smartest guy in the
room routine. We have seen this how many times, but
he loves these little origin stories. I just felt something
kind of like when he was at the Orchards of
Asia Baseball.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's like a sixth sense that he has.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Like now, if you like the Patriots, hopefully Mike Vrabel
turns out better for New England than the last premonition
that Robert Craft had back in twenty nineteen. You might
remember the well publicized, well shared story from Robert Craft
(09:52):
that he knew that Gerard Mayo would be replacing Bill
Belichick because of a trip they both traveled to Israel
in twenty nineteen. Of course, Mayo turned out to be
a one night stand. Rabel looks like he knows what
he's doing. Is he lying at her, faking it till
(10:12):
he makes it? He's already done the job. He's been
an NFL head coach.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
He looks like they grown up in the room.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Of course, the the only that matters is wins and losses,
wins and losses.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
But it's a bit odd.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's a bit odd that Robert Kraft's love of Mike
Rabel if you believe the latest bull crap is based
on what turned out to be Tom Brady's last game
as a Patriot. Right now, some of you dudes that
were there, he said, well, Ben, it was a funeral
parlor that day.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It was a bad mood.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
But Robert Craft's out there watching as the Patriots are
getting punched in the face, and he's like, well, yeah,
that other guy out there, Yeah, that's my next head coach.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Now what a vision.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Robert Kraft is like the guy who reads the end
of the book and it's like, oh, I knew that,
I knew the ending, I knew it all along. So
now the highing process in Foxboro is like a birthright trip.
Or beat the Patriots in the playoffs. Fantastic. Now the
actual football part bit of an afterthought. Right now, this
(11:17):
thing goes up in flames.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Again.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Robert Kraft will say, well, I always thought Matthew Slater.
I love Jackie Slater, so I thought Matthew Slater would
be would be the next one. The way he ordered
the apple fritter, the way he had conviction when he
was at Duncan, and you just knew that he would
be a head coach, the way he addressed the people
at Duncan. All right, now, last thing. We now go
(11:44):
to the Music City. Early candidate for quote of training camp.
Early candidate for quote of training camp from the number
one over. That's right, rookie cam Ward.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Do you see this?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So cam Ward was asked how things are going for
the Tennessee offense. He former Miami and Washington State quarterback
called the Titans offense quote very mid.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
He says, it starts with me, things are.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Not going well.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
So how is that gonna play? How is that going
to play? In Peoria?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
So we love that it's unfiltered. We like honesty, so
we love it. Ward's been in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Let me check my watcher.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
He's been in the NFL for five minutes and he's
already putting the offense on blast very mid, which is
not even normal NFL logo. I know a lot of
people say In fact, I say it sometimes the normal chow?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
What is the normal chow?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
If your team sucks in the NFL, it's not that
we suck, it's that we're building something.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
We're getting better.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
We just have to trust the process, right, we just
need more reps. Well, instead cam word comes out like, well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
We're just it's mid.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Think of like McDonald's value meal. It's mid. Yeah, it's mid,
and and I'm kind of like McDonald's slogan.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm loving it.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Uh, the Ballad of truth from cam Ward, The Ballad
of truth. Like, we get these rookies. They all go
to media training. They're all programmed, right, They're all robotically programmed.
They all go to the same mini camp at the
same time, and they learn by the NFL how to
(13:35):
speak in toungs.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
They do.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Now, it would appear, based on a minutes long mallor
investigation that cam Ward skipped that he did. You know,
Danny and Nashville and some of the other guys are
probably all excited about it. I have to, I am,
because if he's good, and I'm doubtful, But if cam
Ward's good and he's a loose cannon, that's.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Great, right, but now this is what happens.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You got a guy miked up, he didn't go to
the media training, and.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Your gen z quarterback out there.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
He hasn't been coached up yet by the PR department,
but sadly that's coming right. Uh, I will guarantee you
he got the tap on the shoulder from some PR
hack for the Tennessee Titans who's already grabbed him and said, hey,
cam you got five minutes after practice. Just uh, just
heads up here. We don't say mid around here. We
(14:30):
say developing, we say growing getting better. We say we're
close to a breakthrough. So cam Ord, you don't insult
the chef when you're still eating on the kids menu
and you're eating on the you're eating little chicken nuggets
is what you're eating, right, So I imagine next time
(14:51):
cam Ward talks to the media, he'll be a robot. Well,
we're approving every day. It starts with me.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I just got to be more focused on the next that.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Corporate speak one oh one. It's the oldest play and
the oldest play in the book. You teach the kid
how to give a non answer answer, right, cam Woard's
next pressure is going to be.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Like an HR seminar is what it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
However, we will always remember that cam Ward gave a
very honest answer before the pr hacks got to them.
So you put that in your little scrap book and
you'll always have that.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You'll always have that, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:33):

been saying, how about Marcel and Brooklyn? Can we unload
Marcel and Brooklyn can we trade?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Beware?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Like the problem I have is this, like most radio
shows don't take calls anymore, Like we're one of the
few that does.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
If you've heard the show, you know why.
Speaker 2 (19:07):

Speaker 5 (19:24):

Between Dick, Dick and Date and Mike the Leprechahn, he's

tell you what the ben There's a festival in the
(27:09):
North End this weekend. It's called Saint Agri Penuts Festival,

Alex Cora. He said he won't be present because of trades.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
So no, he said he he said he was going
to be in his kid's birthday party, so he wasn't
going to pay any attention to the trade. The Red
Sox made a trade, though they made it. They traded
for Stephen Motts, who sucks.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
From the card Is What did he play for Jewish?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I don't know his religious police. He was on the
Mets and then he was on the Cardinals most recently.

Yeah, so I was listening to another station, this Christian Wilkerson.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
I know what he did.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
I just I don't know what. Is he a black guy,
a white guy or another guy black white or other?
You know there's three right now.

Speaker 7 (28:10):
No, no, but but he so he grabs somebody and
he kissed him like when they were when they were
wearing clothes, which is he outweighs the guy by one
hundred and fifty pounds, which is threatening in so many ways,
in wrong and so many minutes. Dude, there's a big
protest going on in the North End. I've been going
into coffee shops and people don't want to get me coffee.
They like grown when they see me. It's it's really
(28:32):
rude and I'm addicted to coffee, so I gotta I'm
walking to the Dunkin Donuts for no hour.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
No no, no, you should you should go down find
dairy queen.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Do you know it is?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
It is Miracle shut. I'm doing a read.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
It's Miracle Treat DIQ, which means one dollar or more
from every Blizzard treat is donating to your local member
hospitals of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Blizzard treats are
even sweeter when they support kids who need it most.
DQ Happy taste good. So go get a blizzard Scott.
(29:05):
You'll be in a better mood anyway. It is the
Ben Malis Show. So is a top ranked NFL pass
catcher about to be traded?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
There is a developing story. We now go to Washington,
d C.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Where the disgruntle Terry McLaurin, Terry mcluor not Happy, wants
more money and all that stuff. Well, it turns out
that the commander the commanders formerly knows the Redskins have
already turned down multiple trade requests. There have been offers
(29:40):
made teams willing to give up draft capital to get
Terry McLaurin from the Washington football team is in the
final year of his contract and he wants money, money, money.
He turns thirty years old.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Oh my god, what a fricking dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Years old than week three of the NFL season, and
Adam Schefter has said that he wants a lot more,
a lot more money. Don't we all want more money. Well,
he's got to show he don't work in radio, so
he's got to show he worked in radio. They tell
him to go pound sand. But the NFL is like,
you know, we'll find some more money.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
We'll figure it out, We'll see what we can do.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Why not, what the hell, knock it out, knock it
out of the park. We had a bunch of trades
in baseball. We did several Mallard monologues on these trades.
Today's the trade deadline, the biggin which happened not that
long before we got on the air, the third basement.
The player with the most home runs ever to be
(30:46):
traded at the deadline, Hennio Suarez of the Diamondbacks was
traded to the Seattle Mariners for a gaggle of lottery tickets.
So that trade happened late last night and Mason Miller,
the All World relief pitcher throws one thousand miles an hour,
was held out of the Athletics game last night. Not
(31:07):
that he was injured, he was unavailable to pitch. The
reason he was unavailable to pitch he's about to be traded,
likely to the Padres, although that might change once the
sun comes up. The rumor overnight was the Podres were
closing in on that trade, and the Dodgers are expected
to make a couple of moves today. In fact, speaking
the Dodgers, the hot rumor is a battle royale for
(31:33):
Stephen Kwan.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Huh yeah, He's an a place with the the.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Dick and Dayton Cleveland Guardians, the all star outfielders Stephen Kwan,
and the Dodgers and multiple other teams in a bidding war,
in a bidding war for Stephen Kuan. And I also
saw the Dodgers were contemplating acquiring the Beebes, the pitcher there,
(31:58):
mister Bieber the Cleveland baseball team, which would be great
because he hasn't pitched all year, I believe, and he's
coming off major injury, which he would be just another
damaged Pitcher who's making a lot of money, which would
be perfect. That is what the Dodgers love. They if
you're broken down and in pieces, they absolutely want you.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
They they want you on their team.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
They cannot get enough, cannot do it, cannot do it
all right, is the Ben Mahlor Show. So we are
moments away from fact or fiction. Now that means we
need some judges. We need some judge If maybe Old
Man River, our guy Mike is listening there in Florida,
and maybe maybe he'll he'll be.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Able to be part of it.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Anyway, listen, by the way, Old Man River fun fact.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Fun fact for Old Beaver. Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
He listens every night. He said he was born on
the day the Hindenburg exploded at that. When he says
he's Old Man River, he's not kid eighty eight years old?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
How about that? Love lives in Florida, listens every so often.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
And when I don't mention his name, he sends me
a nasty email, said, why didn't you mention my name?
I said, well, I don't have to mention your name
every day. I don't do shoutouts. Yeah, he just wants
to be on your mind. Yeah, he's very upset, he says,
a disservice. He sent me a nasty email yelling at me.
Was complaining, you know, And anyway, all right, it is

Speaker 2 (37:12):
When you think authentic Italian pizza, you think Red Baron.
Speaker 8 (37:17):
All right, I'm glad to hear that.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I actually just watched a documentary about pizza and they
said that it was Domino's in pizza hut that made
modern America pizza like the pizza we know today.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
That's unfortunate to hear.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Sad news. Yeah, hold on, guy who likes Red Baron.
Red Baron's awesome Flexus, America's favorite drag queen caller.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Hello Flexus quickly, I ben.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
I wanted to blind Scott if he was stay notoner,
what he would sound like?
Speaker 2 (37:51):
All right, holler and James, you want to be my
last judge?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
James, he's sleeping.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Mark. Do you want to be my last judge? Mark
on the north End?
Speaker 8 (38:02):
Yeah, I just want to say.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
That's how I know Flying Scot so doesn't even know
the story about the thief that's going on.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Your phone's terrible, But I think you were ripping blind Scott,
so that's fine. All right, Here we go the three stories.
Figure out wh the three is not true. From the
top rope, Well, Haul Cogan left this mortal coil when
he was a brand ambassador for Real American Beer, and
they cannot sell enough. I mean everyone's buying it. They
love it flat off the shelf, and the CEO of
Real American Beer said they're they're now up their bid
(38:33):
to acquire.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
The Hooters brand.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
The CEO said, hul Cogan and Real American Beer are
fully committed to protecting and revitalizing the iconic American brand Hooters.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
All right.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Story number two, The University of Oregon football team, the Ducks,
announced they're going to have a Grateful Dead game against
the University of Wisconsin in honor of the iconic band
that formed at their stadium several times over the years.
Fans are encouraged to show up wearing Tide You Go
So no word on whether they'll wear Ti Die jerseys.
(39:10):
And story number three don't wig out well the sorry
went viral this week an unfortunate incident a w NBA
player lost their wig in the middle of a game, embarrassing,
and a brand called Ghost Bond whatever that is, using
the opportunity, according to TMZ, to cross promote. They sent
(39:30):
the woman, Kaleiah Cooper, a case of the wig of
the Ghost Band x L, which is apparently has a
higher melting point, stronger bond, high temperature setting, so that unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Incident will not happen again, although it did go viral
on the internet.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Okay, which of those is not true? We'll start with
the Power Cup of Long Island, Leslie with Jack the
judge who went back to sleep. Oh, Jack woke up?
Speaker 1 (39:57):
All right, welcome Jack.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
What do you have for breakfast?
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Jack? What was your two thirty breakfast?
Speaker 7 (40:04):
What was your two thirty breakfast?
Speaker 8 (40:07):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Oh I had?
Speaker 5 (40:10):
What did I have? The fruit?
Speaker 8 (40:12):
Eggs, some potatoes?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Okay, all right, very good. What's the story here?
Speaker 2 (40:20):
You two?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
One two or three?
Speaker 5 (40:22):
One two three?
Speaker 8 (40:25):
One?
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
All right? But I think Leslie just woke Jack up.
I think she said jacket up.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Milk man.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
I love those two milkman, Mike one two or three milkman.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Oh, let's go with number three, number three. Let's go
the red baron the pizza Papa in the Twin Cities
who loves his red barren frozen pizza. Which one you
gotta go with?
Speaker 8 (40:50):
The US number one?
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Number one?
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Okay? How about Filexus one two or three?
Speaker 2 (40:56):
F lexus This felexis sleeping number one number one?
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Let's try Mark on the North End, Mark who took
a shot at blind Scott one two or three?
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Mark?
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Well, I know the Hulk Hogan one is true, So
I'm gonna go with number two number two.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
The tide story.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Well, yes, we don't have time to reveal all the
stories or read them again. But the fake story this
week was number three. The Whig story that was the
made up one, that was the fictional one.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Yeah, who knew, Oh, somebody knew. Big news
He we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number four, our number four, ready to go,
and the obligatory mald monologue about Aaran Rogers in the burg.
Now Rogers says he doesn't give an s it's a
bad word. He doesn't give an ass about doubters. Ahead
of his twenty first NFL season, believe it or not,
Robert Kraft is bragging about Mike Rabel as Patriots coach.
(00:24):
Said he been a coaching candidate years earlier, and he
remembers the moment he decided to hire Mike Rabel. That
is blank will go there. And rookie quarterback cam Ward
called the Titans offense very mid says it starts with
him amid his struggles. How is that going to play out?
(00:44):
We'll take a look at that as well. It is
all coming your way right now. Buckle up, buckeroo. It's
a magically delicious our number four. And here it is
not worrying And I'm not this thing. That's the story. Yeah,
that's the story. I believe it unless I don't welcome.
(01:05):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, side by side as
we are decoded and dangerous, oh so dangerous. Coast to coast,
border to border and beyond. On the vast and outspokenly
(01:26):
powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from the treatment.
We give you the silent treatment, unless we don't, because.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
That's taboo when you do audio only from the.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Kathy in Madison.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
She approves that message. And hey, it's a big day today.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
It's Miracle Treat Day at DQ. Now that means one
dollar or more from every delicious Lizard treat will be
donated to your local member hospitals of the Children's Miracle
Network Hospitals Blizzard Treats or even sweeter when they support
kids who need it most.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Deek you happy taste goods.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Why I got the nickname Benny Blizzards planning on hanging
out's hot hot summertime right last day of July, nice
warm weather, got to a dairy.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Queen, have a blizzard and they give a couple bucks back.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
So our lead this hour is from Pittsburg, Sylvania. It
is our obligatory air and Rogers Mallard monologue reference and
we go to Steelers Camp.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Now, if you didn't hear about this, maybe not not Aaron.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Rogers has declared to his bestie, his therapist, Pat McAfee,
that he doesn't give a blank word for poof about
his critics.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So that's that's a good jumping off point, if you will.
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Steelers quarterback Airan Rogers says he does not give an
s word about the doubters, this ahead of what's going
to be his twenty first season in the NFL. Believe
it or not, believe it or not. So I've got
my take on this. I've got Santa Claus sixth sense
and McDonald's and we'll combine all of these things together
(03:20):
and we're gonna make a big mac with Goba gool
on top, with the Goba gool on top, all right,
So to kick off here, just for the record, not
not a believer, not a believer, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Don't believe it, not for a second.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And here's why I've.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Seen it, all right, Rogers, what does he do? He
lives for this?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The man I'm convinced has Google alerts set up for
his own name that when he's bored, he's futsing around,
he's wearing special glasses because he doesn't want the blue Light.
But he's on his phone. He's futzing around and he's
like trying to find his name.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
And a lot of these quarterbacks are like that.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I've had multiple over the years, multiple NFL quarterbacks that
have I didn't tag them in anything, but they searched
their name and commented on something that I said when
I didn't tag them in it. But if you say,
like Rogers washed Aaron Rodgers washed on even like some
podcasts that has seven people listening that you record in
(04:23):
your basement, he'll hear about it in four minutes, not
five minutes, but four minutes, right, And so I love
that Rogers is pretending like he doesn't care. I don't care.
That's like Caleb Williams saying he doesn't love nail polish
while he's playing quarterback for the Bears. Of course he
loves nail polish. Now, Rogers, though, he treats the media
(04:47):
narrative like its game film.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Remember when he was in Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And he would intentionally mislead he tossed stuff out and
then just watch all the cockroach is running around.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
He feeds off it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I am convinced when it comes to his name in
the media, Aaron Rodgers is like Santa Claus with receipts, right.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He knows when you're sleeping, he knows when you're doubting.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And you know there's some alternative universe out there in
the multiverse where there's a glory road dimension to the
multiverse and it actually works in Pittsburgh. It doesn't look
like it's gonna work, but it works. You know that
world where Rogers stays healthy, plays all seventeen games, DK
(05:36):
Metcalf goes next level wide receiver and they go on
a run and some other guys get hurt. It's Fantasyland.
They win the Super Bowl. Rogers gives an Emmy worthy
postgame speech about nobody believed in us, they all counted
us out. Yet he says he doesn't care and all that.
(05:57):
He'll say it while holding the Lombardi have a smug,
little grin, you know, that little annoying grin there, And
he'll reference some comment on X that was made back
in June or someone said he was done, and yeah,
it's got the I'm sure he's got that grudge board,
(06:18):
not drudge grudge board somewhere in his phone or maybe
since locker, and just know it's coming and I'll bet you.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I mean, you mark the tape.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
If the Steelers do good, Rogers is gonna bring all
this up. If the Steelers somehow pull it off, and
Rogers is absolutely going to go out there and give
the they doubted us speech, which, oh, by the way,
everyone does, even when you're supposed to win. I used
to love back when the Patriots were predicted to win
every year, and then they would win, and then somebody
(06:49):
would come out like Tom Brady. Oh they didn't think
we can do it, but we did it. But in
terms of Aaron Rodgers, he'd come out so well, they
said I was too old, They said I was too old,
or two injured or washed up, and you can hear it.
He craves it. This is the same guy who for
years has gone on Pat McAfee every week as like therapy,
(07:12):
but really just to stir the pot, because he knows
whatever Rogers says when he goes on that show will
be repackaged and chopped up and the little bite sized pieces,
and then he'll just sit there in the back of
the room and watch everything.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
He's not ignoring the noise.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
He is the noise. Like Rogers does not care what
people think, he needs, whatever they think, right, it's his oxygen,
the whole. I don't care act total bullshoy, total bullshoy.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
He cares more than anyone. He does. He's not floating
above it. Rogers is knee deep in the mud.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Knee deep.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
He is all right. Now.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Furthermore, we pivot now to Foxborough. Another gem this week
from the grand pool bah of the patsis. Patriots owner
Robert Craft recently recalled a magic moment, a magic moment
that he knew. He said, Ah, this is a moment
I knew that Mike Vrabel would become New England's coach,
(08:15):
that this could be his team.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Now, what was that moment?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Do you see this?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
So, Robert Craft pointed to the twenty nineteen playoffs early
twenty twenty when the Tennessee Titans upset the Tom Brady,
Bill Belichick Patriots, and that was the game. Ryan Tannehill
passed for seventy two yards that day. However, Derrick Henry
(08:41):
ran for almost two hundred. The Patriots defense put back
in the stone age that day at Tennessee, winning that game.
So question, you've got Robert Craft, owner of the Patriots,
out there bragging, very braggadocious, telling them, well, Mike Vrabel
at that point, you know that was I knew he
would be a pot coaching candidate years before I ended
(09:03):
up hiring because of that. That is blank fill in
the blank.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So my word is.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Deja vote. And I'm not talking about the strip club.
It's all part of Robert Kraft's smartest guy in the
room routine. We have seen this how many times, but
he loves these little origin stories. I just felt something
kind of like when he was at the Orchards of
Asia Baseball.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's like a sixth sense that he has.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Like now, if you like the Patriots, hopefully Mike Vrabel
turns out better for New England than the last premonition
that Robert Craft had back in twenty nineteen. You might
remember the well publicized, well shared story from Robert Craft
(09:52):
that he knew that Gerard Mayo would be replacing Bill
Belichick because of a trip they both traveled to Israel
in twenty nineteen. Of course, Mayo turned out to be
a one night stand. Rabel looks like he knows what
he's doing. Is he lying at her, faking it till
(10:12):
he makes it? He's already done the job. He's been
an NFL head coach.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
He looks like they grown up in the room.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Of course, the the only that matters is wins and losses,
wins and losses.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
But it's a bit odd.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's a bit odd that Robert Kraft's love of Mike
Rabel if you believe the latest bull crap is based
on what turned out to be Tom Brady's last game
as a Patriot. Right now, some of you dudes that
were there, he said, well, Ben, it was a funeral
parlor that day.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It was a bad mood.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
But Robert Craft's out there watching as the Patriots are
getting punched in the face, and he's like, well, yeah,
that other guy out there, Yeah, that's my next head coach.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Now what a vision.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Robert Kraft is like the guy who reads the end
of the book and it's like, oh, I knew that,
I knew the ending, I knew it all along. So
now the highing process in Foxboro is like a birthright trip.
Or beat the Patriots in the playoffs. Fantastic. Now the
actual football part bit of an afterthought. Right now, this
(11:17):
thing goes up in flames.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Again.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Robert Kraft will say, well, I always thought Matthew Slater.
I love Jackie Slater, so I thought Matthew Slater would
be would be the next one. The way he ordered
the apple fritter, the way he had conviction when he
was at Duncan, and you just knew that he would
be a head coach, the way he addressed the people
at Duncan. All right, now, last thing. We now go
(11:44):
to the Music City. Early candidate for quote of training camp.
Early candidate for quote of training camp from the number
one over. That's right, rookie cam Ward.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Do you see this?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So cam Ward was asked how things are going for
the Tennessee offense. He former Miami and Washington State quarterback
called the Titans offense quote very mid.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
He says, it starts with me, things are.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Not going well.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
So how is that gonna play? How is that going
to play? In Peoria?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
So we love that it's unfiltered. We like honesty, so
we love it. Ward's been in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Let me check my watcher.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
He's been in the NFL for five minutes and he's
already putting the offense on blast very mid, which is
not even normal NFL logo. I know a lot of
people say In fact, I say it sometimes the normal chow?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
What is the normal chow?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
If your team sucks in the NFL, it's not that
we suck, it's that we're building something.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
We're getting better.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
We just have to trust the process, right, we just
need more reps. Well, instead cam word comes out like, well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
We're just it's mid.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Think of like McDonald's value meal. It's mid. Yeah, it's mid,
and and I'm kind of like McDonald's slogan.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm loving it.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Uh, the Ballad of truth from cam Ward, The Ballad
of truth. Like, we get these rookies. They all go
to media training. They're all programmed, right, They're all robotically programmed.
They all go to the same mini camp at the
same time, and they learn by the NFL how to
(13:35):
speak in toungs.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
They do.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Now, it would appear, based on a minutes long mallor
investigation that cam Ward skipped that he did. You know,
Danny and Nashville and some of the other guys are
probably all excited about it. I have to, I am,
because if he's good, and I'm doubtful, But if cam
Ward's good and he's a loose cannon, that's.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Great, right, but now this is what happens.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You got a guy miked up, he didn't go to
the media training, and.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Your gen z quarterback out there.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
He hasn't been coached up yet by the PR department,
but sadly that's coming right. Uh, I will guarantee you
he got the tap on the shoulder from some PR
hack for the Tennessee Titans who's already grabbed him and said, hey,
cam you got five minutes after practice. Just uh, just
heads up here. We don't say mid around here. We
(14:30):
say developing, we say growing getting better. We say we're
close to a breakthrough. So cam Ord, you don't insult
the chef when you're still eating on the kids menu
and you're eating on the you're eating little chicken nuggets
is what you're eating, right, So I imagine next time
(14:51):
cam Ward talks to the media, he'll be a robot. Well,
we're approving every day. It starts with me.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I just got to be more focused on the next that.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Corporate speak one oh one. It's the oldest play and
the oldest play in the book. You teach the kid
how to give a non answer answer, right, cam Woard's
next pressure is going to be.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Like an HR seminar is what it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
However, we will always remember that cam Ward gave a
very honest answer before the pr hacks got to them.
So you put that in your little scrap book and
you'll always have that.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You'll always have that, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
It is the Ben Mahlor Show as we are working

want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

continue on our after show called over Promised. Well, if
you don't get enough Cavino and Rich, make sure you
check out over Promise and also uncensored by the way,

No malo prop guy brings up a good point today
is the trade deadline? And is there a shot that
we trade blind Scott Today? A lot of you want
us to trade blind Scott. I've been people, people have
been saying, how about Marcel and Brooklyn? Can we unload
Marcel and Brooklyn can we trade?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Beware?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Like the problem I have is this, like most radio
shows don't take calls anymore, Like we're one of the
few that does.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
If you've heard the show, you know why.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
So I don't know who we could trade these guys too,
Like who are we gonna call up and say, all right,

the Leprechaun, and like who to even out the trade?
Speaker 5 (19:24):

Between Dick, Dick and Date and Mike the Leprechahn, he's
got an odd man out in every situation. These are
very uncool guys. These guys are the face of the
generation that I'm definitely not involved in. But let me
tell you what the ben There's a festival in the
(27:09):
North End this weekend. It's called Saint Agri Penuts Festival,
and people will come up to and be like, this
is the saint that is blind. They tortured the saint
to make her blind, you know it. So I gotta
listen to that all weekend. And I'm meeting up with
Mike this weekend at the Boston Harvar meet kids, his
wife are going to go to.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Joe's Bar and krill.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
You know, it's trade Day today. We're talking about family here,

Speaker 2 (27:34):
So no, he said he he said he was going
to be in his kid's birthday party, so he wasn't
going to pay any attention to the trade. The Red
Sox made a trade, though they made it. They traded
for Stephen Motts, who sucks.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
From the card Is What did he play for Jewish?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I don't know his religious police. He was on the
Mets and then he was on the Cardinals most recently.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Yeah, so I was listening to another station, this Christian Wilkerson.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
I know what he did.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
I just I don't know what. Is he a black guy,
a white guy or another guy black white or other?
You know there's three right now.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Scott, you don't see you don't see color, Scott, you're blind.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
No, no, but but he so he grabs somebody and
he kissed him like when they were when they were
wearing clothes, which is he outweighs the guy by one
hundred and fifty pounds, which is threatening in so many ways,
in wrong and so many minutes. Dude, there's a big
protest going on in the North End. I've been going
into coffee shops and people don't want to get me coffee.
They like grown when they see me. It's it's really
(28:32):
rude and I'm addicted to coffee, so I gotta I'm
walking to the Dunkin Donuts for no hour.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
No no, no, you should you should go down find
dairy queen.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Do you know it is?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
It is Miracle shut. I'm doing a read.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
It's Miracle Treat DIQ, which means one dollar or more
from every Blizzard treat is donating to your local member
hospitals of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Blizzard treats are
even sweeter when they support kids who need it most.
DQ Happy taste good. So go get a blizzard Scott.
(29:05):
You'll be in a better mood anyway. It is the
Ben Malis Show. So is a top ranked NFL pass
catcher about to be traded?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
There is a developing story. We now go to Washington,
d C.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Where the disgruntle Terry McLaurin, Terry mcluor not Happy, wants
more money and all that stuff. Well, it turns out
that the commander the commanders formerly knows the Redskins have
already turned down multiple trade requests. There have been offers
(29:40):
made teams willing to give up draft capital to get
Terry McLaurin from the Washington football team is in the
final year of his contract and he wants money, money, money.
He turns thirty years old.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Oh my god, what a fricking dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Years old than week three of the NFL season, and
Adam Schefter has said that he wants a lot more,
a lot more money. Don't we all want more money. Well,
he's got to show he don't work in radio, so
he's got to show he worked in radio. They tell
him to go pound sand. But the NFL is like,
you know, we'll find some more money.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
We'll figure it out, We'll see what we can do.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Why not, what the hell, knock it out, knock it
out of the park. We had a bunch of trades
in baseball. We did several Mallard monologues on these trades.
Today's the trade deadline, the biggin which happened not that
long before we got on the air, the third basement.
The player with the most home runs ever to be
(30:46):
traded at the deadline, Hennio Suarez of the Diamondbacks was
traded to the Seattle Mariners for a gaggle of lottery tickets.
So that trade happened late last night and Mason Miller,
the All World relief pitcher throws one thousand miles an hour,
was held out of the Athletics game last night. Not
(31:07):
that he was injured, he was unavailable to pitch. The
reason he was unavailable to pitch he's about to be traded,
likely to the Padres, although that might change once the
sun comes up. The rumor overnight was the Podres were
closing in on that trade, and the Dodgers are expected
to make a couple of moves today. In fact, speaking
the Dodgers, the hot rumor is a battle royale for
(31:33):
Stephen Kwan.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Huh yeah, He's an a place with the the.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Dick and Dayton Cleveland Guardians, the all star outfielders Stephen Kwan,
and the Dodgers and multiple other teams in a bidding war,
in a bidding war for Stephen Kuan. And I also
saw the Dodgers were contemplating acquiring the Beebes, the pitcher there,
(31:58):
mister Bieber the Cleveland baseball team, which would be great
because he hasn't pitched all year, I believe, and he's
coming off major injury, which he would be just another
damaged Pitcher who's making a lot of money, which would
be perfect. That is what the Dodgers love. They if
you're broken down and in pieces, they absolutely want you.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
They they want you on their team.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
They cannot get enough, cannot do it, cannot do it
all right, is the Ben Mahlor Show. So we are
moments away from fact or fiction. Now that means we
need some judges. We need some judge If maybe Old
Man River, our guy Mike is listening there in Florida,
and maybe maybe he'll he'll be.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Able to be part of it.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Anyway, listen, by the way, Old Man River fun fact.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Fun fact for Old Beaver. Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
He listens every night. He said he was born on
the day the Hindenburg exploded at that. When he says
he's Old Man River, he's not kid eighty eight years old?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
How about that? Love lives in Florida, listens every so often.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
And when I don't mention his name, he sends me
a nasty email, said, why didn't you mention my name?
I said, well, I don't have to mention your name
every day. I don't do shoutouts. Yeah, he just wants
to be on your mind. Yeah, he's very upset, he says,
a disservice. He sent me a nasty email yelling at me.
Was complaining, you know, And anyway, all right, it is
(33:28):
the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
As we press on here, we're gonna get to.
Speaker 2 (33:31):

top rope, Well, Haul Cogan left this mortal coil when
he was a brand ambassador for Real American Beer, and
they cannot sell enough. I mean everyone's buying it. They
love it flat off the shelf, and the CEO of

announced they're going to have a Grateful Dead game against
the University of Wisconsin in honor of the iconic band
that formed at their stadium several times over the years.
Fans are encouraged to show up wearing Tide You Go

(39:10):
And story number three don't wig out well the sorry
went viral this week an unfortunate incident a w NBA
player lost their wig in the middle of a game, embarrassing,
and a brand called Ghost Bond whatever that is, using
the opportunity, according to TMZ, to cross promote. They sent
(39:30):
the woman, Kaleiah Cooper, a case of the wig of
the Ghost Band x L, which is apparently has a
higher melting point, stronger bond, high temperature setting, so that unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Incident will not happen again, although it did go viral
on the internet.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Okay, which of those is not true? We'll start with
the Power Cup of Long Island, Leslie with Jack the
