Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh Maha, omaha. It's our number four. We call an
audible here an hour number four. It is the fallout
from the boat ride heard around the football world. Patriots
wide receiver Stefan Diggs. Stefan Diggs refusing to answer questions
about that viral boat video, saying he keeps his personal
(00:20):
life personal.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
He said that how does that one hit you?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Also, what is the mindset of Stefan Diggs at this
particular point in time? And a couple of high profile
defensive holdouts, the Bengals Trey Hendrickson and the Steelers TJ
Watt are skipping mandatory OTAs this week. How do you
see this working out for these defensive stalwarts.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
We'll talk about all.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Of that and more right now here. It is rush
through our number four and have a wonderful day. Some
newde digs. Are they good digs or bad digs? But
they're new digs. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
We'll find out.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
We are in the air ey.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Whares, we congregate and cover the waterfront, coast to coast,
order to border and beyond on the past and fashionably
powerful microphones of fsre am monating live from the line

We bounce around. We've been doing that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
All night long. But our lead this hour is from Foxborough.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
On the last day of Patriot Mini Caamp Mandatory Mini Caamp,
they canceled. They were supposed to practice today on Wednesday,
but they said.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
We're good. I don't want to work the boys too.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Hard anyways, Stefandiggs remember him Boat Miami Pink Powder Booty Models, Yeah,
that guy. So so Fundigs spoke to the media for
the first time since the viral video which we did
multiple Mallard monologues on it was published, and we talked
about a couple of times. So there were some rumors
(02:48):
that Diggs was gonna get let go and all this stuff.
So if you didn't see the original video, I don't
know how even blind Scott saw, and he's blind. So
the Patriot receiver scene talking to multiple women, different different ladies.
They're handing them a small bag containing some kind of
(03:09):
pink substance.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
What was it? Who knows?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So anyway, Diggs addressed the media and they asked him.
The assembled Patriot media contingent asked Diggs a series of
questions about the trip in Miami and the video and
the pink powder. Here's a little taste of how Stefon
Diggs handle that. Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Take a list.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I want to be as candid with you guys as possible.
I kind of like have a thing where I talk
about my personal life with people I don't know personally.
I'm pretty sure everybody here men and women are great people,
but you know what I'm saying, I kind of keep
my personal life personal personal. I had a conversation with
verbs obviously, Maco, everything that he said he taught me,
you know, hoping everybody making good decisions, you know what
(03:58):
I'm saying. And I had some conversation with people in
a building as well, so you know everything else, you
know internal.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It's all the internal, all right? So you heard, and
he just kept repeating like, yeah, it's personal. I'll talk
about my personal life over and over again. So let
us discuss Patriots wide receivers. To Fawn Diggs, refusing to
answer questions about the viral boat video, he kept saying,
it's my personal life. I don't talk about that. How
does that one hit you? So I've got quagmire, cheesecake factory,
(04:31):
and New York Times bestseller, and we will combine all
of these things together, and we are going to give
you an iron hand, is what we're going to give you.
So uh, and then we'll make some baba gnooche after
that with the iron hand, we'll give you baba. So
to lead off here, it hits me like a cartoon.
(04:54):
I totally get it. I think every man, woman, and child,
though every man want to child, knows that he was
not going to answer these questions, right. He's not going
to answer these questions because he's going to incriminate himself.
And if there's something that is a legal somebody could sue.
(05:14):
He's a public figure. There's some problems see anew that,
and I flashed back to the wisdom from the family Guy,
to quote the legendary quagmire from Family Guy. There, my
lawyer has advised me not to answer that question. That's
essentially what Stefan Diggs did. But he just said, I'm
not going to talk about my personal life, and.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
That was the way he got out of it.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It is hilarious, though, Is it not hilarious that Stefon
Diggs chose to pull the old I keep my personal
life personal card.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
From the bottom of the deck of all the people?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Because when you think of a conservative, buttoned up professional athlete,
god fearing, Bible toting professional athlete, you think of Stefan Diggs, right,
I mean, it is really out of character for a
guy like Stefan Diggs to be on a party boat,
a mega yacht in Miami, surrounded by cameras and his
(06:10):
shirt off, adult beverage in hand. God knows what was
in the pink bag. I'm sure it was just rock candy,
not cocaine. I'm sure it was just rock candy, not
a bag of drugs or whatever. Dozens of influencers, bikini
models and professional women, if you know what.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean, right, there. So it sounds like someone who
wants privacy.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That to me, I don't know about you, but that
sounds like someone that is very private does not want
his personal business to be talked about. And I think
we should all respect Stefan Diggs and his personal privacy.
I think we should unless unless that's not a personal life.
(06:55):
That is a public broadcast that was put out on
social media.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
They call it social media.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, it's like he was promoting some upcoming docu series
and he was handing out party favors.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It was wild, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Now, furthermore, so, what is the mindset of Stefan Diggs.
So his mindset, it's like going to the cheesecake factory
and you know, I have those baskets of bread. They
got the wheat, they got the white bread, and he's like,
I want the basket of bread and I want my
bread buttered. The basket of bread buttered on both sides.
(07:35):
Stefan Diggs, he wants to have it both ways, which
I get.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's the modern way of the world.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I want everything. I'm not a victim, you know I can.
It's like these people going on rioting, who are just
going there to get iPhones and you know, people defend
them and sohow the insurance will cover it?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Like no one has to pay for that. It's that mindset,
you know that we have today.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But Stefan Diggs, he's like he's living like the Instagram life,
and he goes viral every off season, sometimes during the
season and then like this time, this was his counsel
telling him to say this.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But we're supposed to think he's like Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
He's a very private person and and that's.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It that it, you know that that's the way it is.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
But the personal life thing, uh, you know, he was
the one making a spectacle. None of us would have
known about that if he hadn't put it out there,
that hadn't been put out by the people he was
with on the boat.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And he's been a magnet. Stefon Diggs has been a
magnet for the drama.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It shattered him in Minnesota, and it followed him the
Buffalo and then we had the you know that guy
that used to call the show quit the show, Andy,
the comic book guy, the Bills fan who used to
rant and rave and go, oh my god, you know
this is you know, you're just making up these stories
about Stefande that he could not stand Josh Allen, and
Josh Allen couldn't stand him. At the end, that was
(08:59):
the Buffalo went to Houston. Wasn't there long enough for
anything major to happen.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But he got hurt.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And it's not like he lit the world on fire
with the Texas and now he's with the Patriots and
he's the guy that starts the fire and acts shocked
when people say, why is there a fire? It looks
like you started the fire. I didn't start the fire.
I don't want to talk about that. He's like, oh shucks, well, golly,
(09:24):
you know, I mean, g whiz man, oh man? Why
is everything so hard? Why are you asking me about this?
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I don't know, because it's all over the social media.
It's you're you're people of the ones putting it out there.
Come on, you're the one that's trending on all the
social media.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
You're trending more.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
He's actually trended more on TikTok. And then he has
played in NFL games recently. So anyway, our last thing,
so we now have arrived at the part of the offseason.
We've had about a month and a couple of days
to go for training camp, so.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
We're near the finish line. And then then it gets
really boring.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
During training camp, all we get is injuries, and then
we get some exhibition games some nobody cares about that,
and then some bad early season NFL. But we're close
to training camp. We're close to training camp, and so
the Bengals and the Steelers are without Trey Hendrickson and
TJ Watt, the top defensive players on those two respective teams.
(10:27):
Now both players are entering the contract season, so we
know what that means. They're hopping mad, they're spitting mad.
I need the money, I want the money, Give me
the money. So there are questions about whether or not
either one of them will get the money. We know
right now what's going I mean, we know that they're
both of them making waves by not.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Showing up to ots.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So there are other players also that are doing this,
but we're going to for this portion of the Malle monologue,
we're going to focus on these two guys, Trey Hendrickson
in the land of Justin and Cincinnati and then TJ
Watt in the land of Pete and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
So the question you've got Trey Henderson in Cincinnati, Trey
Hendrickson and TJ. Watt and Pittsburgh who are skipping the
mandatory OTA. So the question is how do you see
this working out?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
All right?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So they're turning towards the model of short term pain
for long term game. Now, both Hendrickson and Watt are
going to be fined if they missed the entire OTA period.
They're gonna be fined one hundred and four thousand dollars.
It is interesting to know that the disgruntled Buffalo Bill's
(11:42):
running back who also wants a new contract, he showed
up to OTA's and he said, listen, I want my money,
which is thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I mean, yeah, you don't leave money on the table.
One hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
That is a a big chunk of change, even if
you're making millions. So for them, though, for Hendrickson and Wa,
they're like, wow, this is a drop in the bucket
and all that stuff. It's generating its own antibodies because
in their mind, right, if you read my New York
Times bestseller, A Complete Idiot's Guide to Public Contract Squabbles,
(12:20):
that's my book. There, complete Idiot's Guide to public contract
squabbles unless I just made that up, but the outline
is you ghost the team. You normally unfollow the team
on social media. You avoid the team. You're dodging the
team like you know, dodging a child support subpoena. Right,
(12:41):
You're just trying to avoid it at all costs and
all that stuff, and it's choreographed chaos.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You toss out some bombs out.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
There on social media occasion, the old fashioned manufactured drama
o rama where you got a few social media polls,
you know, go on the gram there and say I
know my worth, I know what I'm worth. And then
you get at that point you've deputized and reputized.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You put together a group of fanboys and.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Bots, you know, the knuckle dragging sports fan and they
are the ones that apply the pressure, like they're the
ones that put the pressure on the and whatever it
takes to get the bigger bag, it's all about the bag,
all about the bag. Skipping OTA's public protest that does
not involve looting, shocking, trying to get free stuff, go
(13:39):
figure it can be done. It's kind of like that
celebrity chef Emerald back in the day. You know, Bam,
it's got to kick it up a couple of notches
now of the two, the smart money and then the
overwhelming favors that TJ.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Watt will get the money.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
They'll hammer things out, the Steelers will make good, They'll
give them some money, and Trey Hendrickson will be traded
to the Lions or the Rams or somewhere else, but
he will not be in Cincinnati. Like the Bengals system.
They don't do the fact that they had to pay
two wide receivers a ton of money. There's a bunch
(14:14):
of executives in Cincinnati who are still seeing therapist because
of that. It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd

Speaker 2 (16:20):
But now, remember that Yankee game.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
In the seventies, always on NBC, he said, And he
mentioned mister Coffee, and we mentioned Derek Jeter's a good story.
So Derek Jeter is the reason the Yankees have put
the Old Timers game on hold because he's he doesn't
want to play in it. He doesn't want to play
shortstop and he's upset by so uh, we actually got
I just got hitted a there's this prison mail. We
(16:44):
have actual prison mail. We don't get a lot of
prison mail. There's a couple of guys that are they're
in the Gray Bar Hotel and they're fans of the show.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And this was says here, Let's see who mess and
read the envelope.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It says correspondence is from an inmate currently in the
custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Now I do
know that when you're in the FED system, you got
to serve eighty percent like you're really screwed. Like if
you're not, it's not a federal crime, you don't have
to do that. Let's see here, all right, this was

just want to drop you all a quick note of
thanks and praise.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
He says.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I'm trying to read the writing here, and I think
the lighting is not particularly great here. But he says
he listens. Oh man, he listens, said early on so
like two to three. So he's not even listening, right,
you know, because it's uh, you know, he's in the east.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Coast, east coast time.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yes, so I should save this thing.

You should, and then read it earlier.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I should, I should read it earlier. He's in he's uh.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
He listens on a affiliate out of northeastern Pennsylvania. He says,
we're on one O two point seven on the FM
dial point not Kiss FM, no UNFOURD. This is uh
and listens. I don't want to if he's not listening.
I don't want to read it when he's listening. If
(18:28):
I read this right, it says, the circumstances in the prison, uh,
stay awake two to three a m. Every darn nights,
all right, So then tomorrow I'll save this and yeah,
we'd love prison mail. If you want to send a
letter in from prison, if you can afford to do it,

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, So let's go.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
To the phone, and who's next? Blind Scott is on
the North end of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, that was me that told you to read the
mail at this hour because I was locked up before.
But it was like they would let us all like
congregate together around like four and five in the morning.
So there was a lot of listeners from the show
and they recognized me, and it was a lot of fun.
We would drink like so much coffee and I would
just tell him all about the show, like I like
I almost worked on the show. They thought, you know
(19:36):
what I mean, But that's really tough to being locked
up at He says, you can't sleep between two and
three in the morning, that's why he's listening to the show.
I hope he mentions my name in there that time.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I haven't read the whole thing. I don't know if
you're you're mentioning here or not. I mean, is he
did right here?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Well, if he's only listening a two and three in
the morning, I don't really talk on that time. But
he must know me because I'm a legend, you know what,
and I know a lot about.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Oh, he has an email here, I can email him.
Oh how about that?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Maybe I could send him so maybe I can get
married to him.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Right, I'm both.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That's an interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Here's the thing. You don't want to You see that
going in the apple store there, Like you don't want
to do that when everybody's busting through the window and stuff.
You want to do it like when nobody expected, like
if you're buying, they just let you walk right out
the front door with the merchandise. Don't even know that,
you know, by the way.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
This guy, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So this guy he says he's getting out in January
of twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Well, it's not that long, so they might let him
out earlier.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
No, he's in the FED. So he says, uh, dude,
did he say what he.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Did is a racketeering?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Racketeering He's already, but he's asking for a Malor meet
and greet in Chicago.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
So he an Italian guy? Yeah, maybe he's an Italian.
We love Italian people on this show. You know, they're
doing everything.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
We love everyone on the show, and we like, you.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Know, Americans, you know, you know Italian Americans. I think
their food the best, Like they're going to make the
best meatball.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Doesn't everyone doesn't everyone think their food's the best, though,
Doesn't anyone think the food's wonderful?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Like the whatever you grow up with you love, right,
that's what you love. That's whatever your culture. You love
your food.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
The lady in Florida that left that eight hundred word
review for that hibachi chef, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Oh yeah, we talked about that on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, some woman in Flora's been sued because she left
a mean review of some restaurant in Florida.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
They got all upset and they sued her. That seems
kind of Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I'm not I'm not doing any protesting ever again. Like
five years ago, me and my dad got into an
argument and I did my own protests and I ripped
up every weed, I ripped up his garden, and then
like they sent like two ambulances and twelve poleets guys,
and then I was in State hospital again, and then
I saw up and listeners there, and everybody fights because
(21:48):
when they want after you do something like that, you
fight for places to go like after because nobody wants
you back at their home. So that's how you end
up in those group homes where a.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Lot of people call from.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
And then you can either go back out on the street,
or you can go in the group home like weed
Man and his Buddy's got, and then you know, Walmart
will hire you or Target. It's a pretty good life,
you know. You just like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Talking about you know, that's really the American dream to
end up in a group home and then work at
like Target.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
And then it's funny because when you're in the psych
where there would be listeners from the show that will
come in and they'll recognize you from the show.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I don't know that you're helping promote the show that
you say that we're the Kings of the Prisons and
the psych wards. I don't know that that's the promotion
for the show that we're looking for.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah, well, we have a lot of good listeners, like
we have a lot of hyde workers, So a lot
of that glasses that's being broken. A lot of your
listeners who are commuting to work right now will be
repairing that, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
So it's good for the it's good. So they get
jobs to fix all these jobs.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Security. Yeah, you know, you can't bring the straight guys
to prize, so the leprechaun is not allowed to go
to Pride unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
All right, a whole lot of psych here, please, all right? Anyway,
how about this Travis Kelsey story. So he's all over
the tabloids again? Daily update, Daily update that the reporting
now Travis Kelcey, this dramatic reporting, Travis Kelsey opting to
stay in Florida with Taylor Swift picking Taylor Swift rather
(23:12):
than go back to Kansas City and take part in
organized team activities. Should the Kansas City chiefs be worried
that Travis Kelcey's commitment is not there developing hot dot
dot dot in Kansas City. He's not fully locked in.
(23:32):
So this comes a couple days after there were photos
of him suddenly in shape, after they were they said
he was fat and all this. He's here, thirty five
years old. He was at some wedding in Florida. Now
here's the kicker. It's not a co mandatory mandatory thing. Uh,
he supposed to be there is not mandatory. You're supposed
to be there. He's enyering his thirteen season in the NFL.
(23:53):
And while it is not mandatory, it has sparked some conversation.
And you know, we love conversation. We are in the
conversation business. We are in the conversation business. Very important.
So Kelsey looked completely washed in the super Bowl, and
he statistically is a declining asset. There's always that threat
(24:18):
though you're always like, well, he still got the name,
and even though he didn't have the game, Kelsey is
like the Chiefs at some point are going to need
him to make two or three or four catches in
a game in the second half.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
And will he be able to do it? And all that. Now,
one story I am excited about.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Joey Chestnut is in deep negotiation to make a grand
return to the Big July fourth hot dog eating contest
on Coney Island.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
He was banned last.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Year because he associated himself with the vegans and that's
a that's a no no. Uh yeah, he'd be a
he had a vegetarian hot dog that he partnered up
with and he got banned from the Nathan so Hot
Dog Contest. But they realized that he's the only reason
a lot of people watch, and so they're they're like,
we got to get this guy back. And I have
(25:14):
Joy Chestnuts number. I've I've had him on my podcast
multiple times, and one time I had gone through Joey
Chestnuts publicist, because yes, you need a publicist if you're
a major league leater, So I contact you.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
You could put down dogs like that, then.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well listen, he is the he's got the nicknames. But
so I contacted the publicist. They said, sure, he'll do it,
no problem, he'd love to do it. I said that's great, okay,
So they gave me a window. They give you a
window to call up the person. So I called up
the person right at the window, Joey Chestnut. I called
him up and he doesn't answer, So I wait like
(25:53):
five minutes. I thought, well, maybe he's busy, so I
call him back. Well, now he answers and then he
hangs up right away. So I'm like, oh, this must
be a mistake. You know, maybe I got the wrong number.
So I double checked I went back. I looked at
the publicist email, and I said, well, I looked at
the number. I put it on my phone again. I said, well,
that's the same number. So now I waited like another
five minutes. I called the number again, and now Joey
(26:15):
Chestnut answers the phone, says.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Why are you calling me? Why do you keep calling me?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
He's like yelling at me, and so I, well, Joey,
the publicist here gave me your number and said that
your booked.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
He was not a good movie. He was in an airport.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
He lives in like the Indianapolis area, So he's at
the airport in Indy and he was flying somewhere.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
And he was not not happy. Not happy.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Now turn the page on that. I did see the video.
Several of you have send me this video. I don't
know what you want me to do with this. You're
trying to get me sued when you send me the video.
So Chris Weber, I've heard of him. Chris Webber, a
pro bouncy ball player back in the day, was very
famous at Michigan, back when people used to watch college basketball.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
He was a big deal and there was a.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Beloved college basketball team, one of the last beloved college
basketball teams at Mishigan, the Fab Five. So it's been
thirty years or whatever since the Fab Five. Anyway, Chris Webber,
who's retired NBA player, now he's got going on. So
there was this video that he released and it was
(27:22):
threatening legal action against people saying things that aren't true
about him on the internet. And I hadn't heard anything.
I was like, I don't know what this is all about.
And I kept I kept getting people out of I
say keep. It was like three or four people send
me the video. That a fair amount because most people
don't participate in the show. So I was like, what
(27:44):
is this about? So that I watched the video, you know,
clicked on it, and I watched it again. It's like
a two minute video of Weber sitting and like it
looks like his man cave. He's got photos of him,
you know, glory wall behind him of his glory day.
So he's he's ranting about the on the internet, complaining
about the internet. And again he didn't say what it was.
(28:04):
So then of course what did I do. I started searching,
like what is Weber upset about? And wow, that is
a juicy story. Now he claims it's not true, it's
fake and all that I mean, he said it's not,
but there's a supposedly And again, I'm gonna be very
careful the way I addressed this, because I do not
want to get sued. He said, he's going to sue everyone,
(28:26):
Chris Weber. But it's a story that's making the rounds
on the internet that involves a lawsuit filed by a
former NBA teammate with some very tawdry allegations, and there
may or may not be some DNA involved in the allegations.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
What's tawdry?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Look it up. It's a great word. It's a taboo.
Is like a synonym for tawdry, like taboo.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Oh, let's go.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
