Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our dumber four. Here we go,
and this is peer review scientific data that corroborates my points.
We start out in Minnesota. Should coach Kevin O'Connell be
worried about his Viking future as the team refusing to
give him a contract extension? Are you drinking the kool
(00:22):
aid on giant rookie wide receiver Molik neighbors being unstoppable?
And your thoughts on JAG's linebacker Josh Allen's wife convincing
him to change his last name, but not to her name.
We'll explain it's all coming your way right now. Say
hello to our number four and have a wonderful Wednesday.
(00:51):
It is all a purple haze. Welcum. In the beginning
of another of the Ben Maallor Show. We are in
the air everywhere, fire side chatting as we call an
audible coast, the coast, border, the order and beyond on

and our lead this hour is from the Twin Cities.
(01:57):
The future of the Vikings is hanging in the balance now,
not only at the quarterback position. We know that Sam
Darnold for now is QB one. But if you didn't
see this other story, you might have missed it. The
co owner of the Minnesota football team, a guy named
Mike Will or Mark wil Mark Will, confirmed the chatter
(02:19):
is correct that the Vikings will not will not be
giving contract extensions to the GM Quezy Adafa Mensa or
Kevin O'Connell. Neither one is getting an extension. Now we're
gonna focus in on the coach. The soonest those talks
would happen would be after this upcoming season. Now, the
(02:41):
Vikings have had these guys at the helm for the
last couple of years and there are a few games
over five. Oh, a great record, it's not terrible. Right
in the middle, the owner said, quote, it's not something
we're talking about. At this point, we're focusing on the
season ahead. So the brain trust there for the Vikings
(03:02):
is midway through the four year agreement, so they're not
gone at the end of the year. It's not like
they're free to roam around the NFL. They were signed
in twenty oh two or twenty twenty two. Rather, they'd
be there a long time. But they were signed in
twenty two, but back in twenty twenty two, so the
midway through. So let us discuss the question should coach
(03:25):
Kevin O'Connell specifically be worried about his Viking future? So
I've got Old Country, Sippy Cup, and Raino, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make ballpark nachos, which we learned earlier. Our
(03:45):
friend Loraina was enjoying ballpark not too delicious, right that
KUEI cheese. Gotta eat it quick though, because the chips
get all soggy. I hate that fast all right. So
to kick off here to answer the question, should Kevin
o'conn coach in Minnesota be worried about his Viking future?
I'm nodding my head yes, because the decorum of the
(04:06):
NFL says, if you're happy with the coach and you
know it, you give him an extension after two years.
The owner this this guy, Wilf Mark Wilf there, who's
one of the owners. He spoke glowingly about the culture
that Kevin O'Connell has helped create, whispering sweet nothings into
(04:28):
the microphone. And to that, I say, whoopede damn do.
There's a phrase that goes back to the old Country
that applies here. Actions speak louder than words, and you
can twist it any way you want. This is a
vote of no confidence for the coach and the general manager. Again,
(04:50):
the way this has worked, the NFL has a whole
forest of trees that print money. If the Vikings truly
believe that Kevin O'Connor was Sean McVay two point zero
or Baby Belichick, then what would have happened. They would
have moved mountains to lock the coach up to a
long term extension. That's not happening here. They're willing to
(05:12):
risk lame duck status because after this season there'll be
one year left on the contract of the coach. In
the GM. Normally you wouldn't want to risk that but
that is not the way things are going. The Purple
People Eaters have not renewed their wedding vows on a
long term relationship, and since arriving in Minnesota, the team's
(05:33):
been so so and I think this is actually a
smart move. I'll believe it if they actually continue on
this path. I'm always skeptical because every time I do
a monologue praising a team for not giving someone an extension,
they give an extension. The most famous of that was
when we were doing a show years ago and Russell
Wilson was demanding an extension. The Seahawks wouldn't give them
(05:53):
the extension. They were facing a deadline, and as I
was delivering an award winning Malard monologue about Russell Wilson
praising the Seahawks for not extending him, Russ went on
social media with Sierra and announced we got a deal,
and they got a deal.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now, further Onoe, we moved to the g aa TS Suck, Suck, Suck.
The Giants glowing reports smothering love all over a giant star.
The Giants and Lions are having a fight week. A
lot of brawls going. Oh my god, football players are
fighting I can't believe joint workouts. And this is about
(06:37):
Molik Neighbors the Giants. According to the reporting, the Giants
threw Molik Neighbors the ball seventeen times at these scrimmage workouts,
eleven on eleven, seven on seven the last couple of days,
and he caught sixteen of the seventeen passes. He also
(06:58):
scored two to twenty plus yard touchdowns. Now we don't
know how hard those passes were, the degree of difficulty,
but he has been described Molik Neighbors by the Giant
beat reporters as absurdly good, the most dominant rookie that
some of these yahoos have seen. Some of these pundits, ever,
I guess Odell Beckham didn't happen. This begs the question
(07:21):
are you not me?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Are you.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Drinking the kool aid? On the Giants' rookie Molik Neighbors
being unstoppable and absurdly good. So I will actually answer this.
I know I said I'm asking you, but I'm gonna
answer this first. I and we on this show are
not guzzling the juice. We're not guzzling the kool aid.
(07:46):
If anything, it's more of a sippy cup at this point. Now,
I did love the player at LSU. It's a clearing
house over the last decade or so for blue chip
pass catchers, explosive playmaker. He's got everything that you look at.
You look at the list of ingredients, the eleven herbs
and spices, the secret recipe he's got. He's quick, he's
(08:09):
extremely fast, he's explosive, he's like a ballerina. All of
that is true. Nevertheless, seeing is believing, So I gotta
see this in real games. I got to watch this
unfold in real games, and then I will throw away
the sippy cup and I will guzzle. Guzzle. Guzzle is
what I will do. All right now, last thing here,
(08:31):
Dayline Jacksonville, Dyline Jacksonville. Very rarely does someone who becomes
an elite athlete change their name. It happens every so often,
and when it happens, it's usually because of some odd circumstance.
There were a number of baseball players over the years
that were most of them from the Dominican Republic, and
(08:52):
because of reasons where are They're true idea, they were
using fake identities or whatever because they pretend to be younger,
and then they got exposed and they had to say
their name. And there's been other athletes for religious reasons
have changed their name, but it's usually pretty rare, and
this is rare. Also in Jacksonville, the Jags star edge
rusher for years known as Josh Allen, recently changed his
(09:16):
last name. Now, he kept the Allen part of a name,
but he added a hyphen and tossed Hines in there.
And while he said he had been considering changing his
last name for a couple of years, it was his
wife who started pushing him to do it because they
were watching some events involving star NFL players, like Pro
(09:40):
Bowl type events, and the commentators would often refer to
Josh Allen as the other Josh Allen, like the other
white meat and of course the quarterback of the Bills
slightly more famous. So his wife also complained that it
was difficult to find out where they could buy her
husband in Jersey where it was being sold. So your
(10:03):
thoughts on the Jacksonville Jags linebacker Josh Allen's wife convincing
him to change his name to Josh Heines Allen. That
is his new name. So my thought is bravo, that
is my thought, because what this does it works as Dreno.
It's a Draino movie. It uncloggs the confusion pipe. It's
(10:28):
also an unwinnable battle. It is. It's an unwint unwitted
battle because you're stuck between the devil and the deep
lucy because now you've changed your name and people are like,
who's that guy? I don't know who that guy is?
Who the hell is a guy named heinz Allen. I
know who Josh Allen, the edge rusher was, I don't
know who Josh heinz Allen is. So then it takes
(10:49):
time for people to figure that out and the whole
to do edge rusher versus quarterback. It is the right
thing to do because the if you're looking for Q rating,
be damned if you have the same name as a
quarterback who's of some name brand value. The name change
for heinz Allen incorporating if you're wondering his mother's maiden name.
(11:12):
He grew up though, as Josh Allen, so it's not
like he changed his name to Josh Allen. When he
got to the pros, his name was Josh Allen. But
now as a pro he's changed it because he wants
people to buy his jersey. He's using his mother's side
of the family to change things up, even though that
(11:32):
was not the name that he used. So there you go.

It is the.

I'm his best friend, by the way. You know that,
me and him. Yeah, we hung out together one night
at the Mermaid in the Minnesota. That's right, James man.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, it's like a Geiger counter.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It's like that earthquake in Baker's Field there, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Sure, his talent.
Speaker 1 (18:01):

Good job by you. Like sometimes he'll when he's doing this,
he'll wake up and just whoa wait, Yeah, I know,
(18:34):
Wilbur jove big. The single greatest thing that has happened
on this show in terms of game shows, when James
was asleep and he won too much or not enough?
That's right, it was.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I will concur with that opinion.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Nothing can match that wall asleep. Yeah, we did. We
said if he if he snores, then it's like too much,
and then if he snore then it's not enough.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, one of the odds. It's a miracle, isn't that right? James?
Now all right, okay you're pausing to contemplate.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
It's a lot of radiation.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, that was a four point seven eddy on the
Richter right there, I have four point seven located in
Saint Paul. Yeah, okay, thank you. A tremendous phone call, James,

the myth, the legend. Dick in Dayton, Hello, Dick, good morning, Good.

two poles involved in the same category, two poles for

You gotta be drugs and call this show. Everyone calls
the shows on drugs. What are you talking about? Gotta
be sober? What
Hello and welcome. It's our dumber four. Here we go,
and this is peer review scientific data that corroborates my points.
We start out in Minnesota. Should coach Kevin O'Connell be
worried about his Viking future as the team refusing to
give him a contract extension? Are you drinking the kool
(00:22):
aid on giant rookie wide receiver Molik neighbors being unstoppable?
And your thoughts on JAG's linebacker Josh Allen's wife convincing
him to change his last name, but not to her name.
We'll explain it's all coming your way right now. Say
hello to our number four and have a wonderful Wednesday.
(00:51):
It is all a purple haze. Welcum. In the beginning
of another of the Ben Maallor Show. We are in
the air everywhere, fire side chatting as we call an
audible coast, the coast, border, the order and beyond on
(01:14):
the mast and boldly powerful microphones of fsre amminating live
from the store as we are your one stop hot
take superstore, broadcasting live from the Tirak dot com studios
tyraq dot com. We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
(01:36):
free shipping free, road hazard protection and over ten thousand
recommended installers. It's been about ten thousand days since Pete
and Pittsburgh last was a regular caller to the show
Tire iraq dot com The Way Tire Buying Show be
and our lead this hour is from the Twin Cities.
(01:57):
The future of the Vikings is hanging in the balance now,
not only at the quarterback position. We know that Sam
Darnold for now is QB one. But if you didn't
see this other story, you might have missed it. The
co owner of the Minnesota football team, a guy named
Mike Will or Mark wil Mark Will, confirmed the chatter
(02:19):
is correct that the Vikings will not will not be
giving contract extensions to the GM Quezy Adafa Mensa or
Kevin O'Connell. Neither one is getting an extension. Now we're
gonna focus in on the coach. The soonest those talks
would happen would be after this upcoming season. Now, the
(02:41):
Vikings have had these guys at the helm for the
last couple of years and there are a few games
over five. Oh, a great record, it's not terrible. Right
in the middle, the owner said, quote, it's not something
we're talking about. At this point, we're focusing on the
season ahead. So the brain trust there for the Vikings
(03:02):
is midway through the four year agreement, so they're not
gone at the end of the year. It's not like
they're free to roam around the NFL. They were signed
in twenty oh two or twenty twenty two. Rather, they'd
be there a long time. But they were signed in
twenty two, but back in twenty twenty two, so the
midway through. So let us discuss the question should coach
(03:25):
Kevin O'Connell specifically be worried about his Viking future? So
I've got Old Country, Sippy Cup, and Raino, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make ballpark nachos, which we learned earlier. Our
(03:45):
friend Loraina was enjoying ballpark not too delicious, right that
KUEI cheese. Gotta eat it quick though, because the chips
get all soggy. I hate that fast all right. So
to kick off here to answer the question, should Kevin
o'conn coach in Minnesota be worried about his Viking future?
I'm nodding my head yes, because the decorum of the
(04:06):
NFL says, if you're happy with the coach and you
know it, you give him an extension after two years.
The owner this this guy, Wilf Mark Wilf there, who's
one of the owners. He spoke glowingly about the culture
that Kevin O'Connell has helped create, whispering sweet nothings into
(04:28):
the microphone. And to that, I say, whoopede damn do.
There's a phrase that goes back to the old Country
that applies here. Actions speak louder than words, and you
can twist it any way you want. This is a
vote of no confidence for the coach and the general manager. Again,
(04:50):
the way this has worked, the NFL has a whole
forest of trees that print money. If the Vikings truly
believe that Kevin O'Connor was Sean McVay two point zero
or Baby Belichick, then what would have happened. They would
have moved mountains to lock the coach up to a
long term extension. That's not happening here. They're willing to
(05:12):
risk lame duck status because after this season there'll be
one year left on the contract of the coach. In
the GM. Normally you wouldn't want to risk that but
that is not the way things are going. The Purple
People Eaters have not renewed their wedding vows on a
long term relationship, and since arriving in Minnesota, the team's
(05:33):
been so so and I think this is actually a
smart move. I'll believe it if they actually continue on
this path. I'm always skeptical because every time I do
a monologue praising a team for not giving someone an extension,
they give an extension. The most famous of that was
when we were doing a show years ago and Russell
Wilson was demanding an extension. The Seahawks wouldn't give them
(05:53):
the extension. They were facing a deadline, and as I
was delivering an award winning Malard monologue about Russell Wilson
praising the Seahawks for not extending him, Russ went on
social media with Sierra and announced we got a deal,
and they got a deal.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now, further Onoe, we moved to the g aa TS Suck, Suck, Suck.
The Giants glowing reports smothering love all over a giant star.
The Giants and Lions are having a fight week. A
lot of brawls going. Oh my god, football players are
fighting I can't believe joint workouts. And this is about
(06:37):
Molik Neighbors the Giants. According to the reporting, the Giants
threw Molik Neighbors the ball seventeen times at these scrimmage workouts,
eleven on eleven, seven on seven the last couple of days,
and he caught sixteen of the seventeen passes. He also
(06:58):
scored two to twenty plus yard touchdowns. Now we don't
know how hard those passes were, the degree of difficulty,
but he has been described Molik Neighbors by the Giant
beat reporters as absurdly good, the most dominant rookie that
some of these yahoos have seen. Some of these pundits, ever,
I guess Odell Beckham didn't happen. This begs the question
(07:21):
are you not me?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Are you.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Drinking the kool aid? On the Giants' rookie Molik Neighbors
being unstoppable and absurdly good. So I will actually answer this.
I know I said I'm asking you, but I'm gonna
answer this first. I and we on this show are
not guzzling the juice. We're not guzzling the kool aid.
(07:46):
If anything, it's more of a sippy cup at this point. Now,
I did love the player at LSU. It's a clearing
house over the last decade or so for blue chip
pass catchers, explosive playmaker. He's got everything that you look at.
You look at the list of ingredients, the eleven herbs
and spices, the secret recipe he's got. He's quick, he's
(08:09):
extremely fast, he's explosive, he's like a ballerina. All of
that is true. Nevertheless, seeing is believing, So I gotta
see this in real games. I got to watch this
unfold in real games, and then I will throw away
the sippy cup and I will guzzle. Guzzle. Guzzle is
what I will do. All right now, last thing here,
(08:31):
Dayline Jacksonville, Dyline Jacksonville. Very rarely does someone who becomes
an elite athlete change their name. It happens every so often,
and when it happens, it's usually because of some odd circumstance.
There were a number of baseball players over the years
that were most of them from the Dominican Republic, and
(08:52):
because of reasons where are They're true idea, they were
using fake identities or whatever because they pretend to be younger,
and then they got exposed and they had to say
their name. And there's been other athletes for religious reasons
have changed their name, but it's usually pretty rare, and
this is rare. Also in Jacksonville, the Jags star edge
rusher for years known as Josh Allen, recently changed his
(09:16):
last name. Now, he kept the Allen part of a name,
but he added a hyphen and tossed Hines in there.
And while he said he had been considering changing his
last name for a couple of years, it was his
wife who started pushing him to do it because they
were watching some events involving star NFL players, like Pro
(09:40):
Bowl type events, and the commentators would often refer to
Josh Allen as the other Josh Allen, like the other
white meat and of course the quarterback of the Bills
slightly more famous. So his wife also complained that it
was difficult to find out where they could buy her
husband in Jersey where it was being sold. So your
(10:03):
thoughts on the Jacksonville Jags linebacker Josh Allen's wife convincing
him to change his name to Josh Heines Allen. That
is his new name. So my thought is bravo, that
is my thought, because what this does it works as Dreno.
It's a Draino movie. It uncloggs the confusion pipe. It's
(10:28):
also an unwinnable battle. It is. It's an unwint unwitted
battle because you're stuck between the devil and the deep
lucy because now you've changed your name and people are like,
who's that guy? I don't know who that guy is?
Who the hell is a guy named heinz Allen. I
know who Josh Allen, the edge rusher was, I don't
know who Josh heinz Allen is. So then it takes
(10:49):
time for people to figure that out and the whole
to do edge rusher versus quarterback. It is the right
thing to do because the if you're looking for Q rating,
be damned if you have the same name as a
quarterback who's of some name brand value. The name change
for heinz Allen incorporating if you're wondering his mother's maiden name.
(11:12):
He grew up though, as Josh Allen, so it's not
like he changed his name to Josh Allen. When he
got to the pros, his name was Josh Allen. But
now as a pro he's changed it because he wants
people to buy his jersey. He's using his mother's side
of the family to change things up, even though that
(11:32):
was not the name that he used. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
It is the.

the easiest schedule the rest according to strength to schedule.
The Yankees have the easiest schedule the rest of the way.

The Cubs have the second easiest, and the Mariners, who
should make the playoffs based on this, they have the
third easiest schedule the rest of the way. But you
still have to play that games. Yes, still have to
play that games. That's the problem. You still have to
go out there and win those games. And we'll have
