Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
What a happy Tuesday to you, the twenty fifth day
of the month of March, the last Tuesday without baseball
for a while. Opening Day just a couple of days away.
So we begin our number four here with NFL's scuttle.
But why would Kirk Cousins want to wait? Want to
wait until after the NFL Draft to be traded from

(00:26):
the Falcons? Also, what do you make of quarterback cam
Ward telling the Tennessee Titans that he is solidifying himself
as the top pick at Miami's Pro Day. And we'll
losso discuss general manager Elliott Wolf telling season ticket hole
there's the Patriots will take the quote best player available

(00:46):
in next month's draft. How does that play with the bass?
We'll get to all of that and more right now.
Have a wonderful Tuesday. Thank you for supporting the Pod
and here is our number four. It's all the rage
in the NFL dot. Don't hurry up and make a decision,
take your time, take your time, let it breathe, Let

(01:07):
it breathe a little bit. Well, come in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are
in the air everywhere as friends, as we occasionally have
to eat our words coast to coast, border to border
in beyond on the vast and grandiosely powerful microphones of

(01:30):
fsre emmating live from the doctor as in the doctor's office,
we're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tract
dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten
thousand recommended installers tyraqt dot com. The way tirebuying should

(01:57):
be on our friend Danny DeVito, the occasional call or
the show. Danny loves the show and he supports the
number ten thousand. I think he lost ten thousand bucks
on the NCAA tournament this past weekend. So our lead
this hour. Now it's not in Aaron Rodgers monologue, but
it's the same theme as Aaron Rodgers. It is a
monologue from the speculation room, and we like going to

(02:20):
the speculation room. It's a smoke filled room, a lot
of cigar smoke, and that is where we theorize and
speculate on the day's news. Oh the drama. So some
buzz out from the Dirty South, the dirty birds making
some noise here these quarterback shuffle you gotta do the shuffle.

(02:45):
You gotta do the shoffle. So if you have not heard,
maybe not, we have learned now that the Falcons backup
quarterback Kirk Cousins, mister former Minnesota Viking, Kirk Cousins is
likely going to wait to wait his no trade clause
until after next month's NFL Draft, the NFL Draft, as

(03:06):
it often is in the end of the month of April,
and that is when Kirk Cousins will at that point
say okay, now, I'm good. Now you can send me
somewhere else. I'm all right now. Cousins currently the NFL's
highest paid backup quarterback in one of the great debacles
in recent NFL history, not quite on par with the

(03:28):
creepy quarterback Deshaun Watson, but Kirk Cousins making a lot
of money and not playing a lot of football. As
we know what happened there. So now, publicly the Falcons
have said that they are more than willing to hold
on to Kirk Cousins, and they're not looking to trade Cousins,
and they feel fine keeping him on the roster and

(03:51):
all that. So let us discuss the question why would
Kirk Cousins want to wait until after the NFL jeft
rather than just find a new team right now, learn
the playbook, meet with the coaches and all that. Why
would he want to wait until after the draft to
be traded. So I've got may Day Burger and Hormel Foods,

(04:20):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a Fumbo Rooskie is what
we're gonna make. Because the Atlanta Falcons pulled off the
old fumble Rooski is what they pulled out. What are
you doing? Didn't work out though? All right? So a
Kirk Cousins is being The word I will use is strategic.
That is the word I will use here. And it

(04:41):
is also likely he is suffering the effects of PTSD,
a little post traumatic syndrome situation here after getting the
bag from Atlanta. He got there. What's in the bag?
A lot of money? A lot of money in the bag.
Cousins was hornswoggle. He was hornswoggle. Is the word I

(05:01):
will use. In the twenty twenty four NFL draft, we
might remember, I think you probably do remember the Michael
PENNOCKX junior draft pick was at number nine overall. Atlanta
taking Michael Pennox Junior from Washington State, and that was
the phantom of the draft that came back to haunt

(05:21):
quarterback Kirk Cousins. So we know how that played out.
We saw it last year and Kirk melted down under
the immense pressure of playing quarterback in Atlanta and he
sucked at a time you cannot suck. Failing to perform
in he was demoted, not fired, but demoted Pennex junior

(05:42):
usurped him as QB number one right right there by
week sixteen, So there was a quarterback change. Now, Cousins,
we know what's going on. He's looking to avoid a
deja vu situation. Were not the Gentleman's club deja vo? Okay,
this is a may Day may Day, may Day type special.

(06:04):
So Mayday special, you wait until after the NFL Draft
for obvious reasons. You know why you would wait until
after the NFL draft because if you wait until after
the NFL Draft, there is no way that a team
can then surprise you by drafting a quarterback to replace you,
because you see, the draft is over for that year,

(06:27):
all right, So Cousins can leave Georgia and then he's
free to roam around the NFL. Go somewhere else and
wave his no trade claus and all that. So the
Malor wheel of speculation. Let's spin the Malor wheel of
speculation round and round and draft big money, big money
in no way, me, no hemmy stop for Kirk Cousins.

(06:49):
All right, the malar wheel of speculation has Titans, Browns
and giants, Titans, Browns and giants, and the Malor wheel
of speculation is never wrong. So Titans, Browns and giants.
And that is known as bad, worse and worst, bad,
worse and worst is what that is known as. Now

(07:11):
at this point, you'd say Tennessee is right there at
the top. Tennessee does not have a clear path at quarterback.
There is a lot of chatter that they're going to
say goodbye to the Mayo man Will levis a mistake
waiting to happen. And the early chatter is that Tennessee
has made their mind up. We'll get to that in
a second on who they're going to draft with the

(07:32):
top pick in the twenty twenty five NFL draft. But
Kirk Cousins, you'd put at the wheel of speculation, Tennessee
at the very top, Cleveland behind that, and then a
little bit lower. You've got the Giants, all right. So
moving on to the aforementioned Tennessee football team, and we
go to South Florida now where the weather is beautiful

(07:52):
and the sports aren't that good. So cam Ward appeared
out of nowhere. Unsus you appeared because he was supposed
to be there. But he appeared at his pro day
and he was yelling. He was old yeller there. He
was yelling towards the Tennessee Titans brass, the big shots
from the Titans. During his pro day workout on Monday

(08:15):
in South Florida, the Miami quarterback of all I played,
he played more at Washington State than it in Miami.
But anyway, the Miami quarterback in Air quotes cam Ward
revealing what he said during a post session chit chat
with state funded NFL media. The NFL probed the news service.

(08:38):
I guess this is going to be bought by the
Entertainment and Sports Network out of Bristol, so they're going
to be fully invested there in NFL propaganda. But cam
Ord said quote, I said, I am solidifying it today,
the Miami Hurricane quarterback stated, with a smile, talking about
his number one status top twenty twenty five NFL Draft.

(09:03):
You said, I made sure they hurt me in fact,
just to prove I'm not lying, to prove I'm not
making this up. Let's go to the audio tape, take
a list.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
I said, I'm solidifying it today and sold, I said,
so they heard you.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
I made sure they heard me. So I guess off
that tip. The Titans obviously have the number one overall pick.
They like you, they've had you in the building. What
did you want to show them today?

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I said, not only showing them, but every really team
just thrown on rhythm where there's three steps on rhythm,
five steps on rhythm for Under in the gun, heavy
play action, you know, gun five with moving outside of
the pocket. Just showing them all you know under center
stuff that I didn't get to show as much during
the season. Let me know that I'm capable of it,
because the end of the day, the NFL is not
playing on the center all the time. They're in the gun.

(09:50):
But you gotta be able to do it. And so
that was the main focus for me. And then Under
that is just making it all about about my receiver
trying to throw them catch with balls, make sure not
have balls hit the ground. We had a couple, but
then in today you ain't gole be perfect. You always
got stuff to get better.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Okay, So there's cam Ward on the NFL Network, the
TV propaganda arm of the NFL. So what do you
make What do you make of cam Ward telling the
Titans you heard at the beginning of that he is
solidifying himself as the very top pick in the draft
thanks to his performance there at Miami's Pro Day. So

(10:26):
the word I will use on this is theatrics. Now
I say this every time we do a pro day monologue.
My position has not changed. Oh, you say the same
thing all the time. Well, the reason I believe this
is because it's true. Because it's true. Pro day workouts
are like Benny's burger, right, It's in this case, though

(10:47):
it's a nothing burger. You got two slices of bread
and you wish you had some meat. There's just no
meat there. Pro day workouts are the open book test,
the take home exam. It's akin to using AI to
answer all the questions. So do you really get excited
about that? Eh? Eh, not so much. I yawn, I

(11:13):
do I yawned. It's all good with the lighting everything's
perfect right. You know the building, you know the receivers
you're throwing the ball to. Everything's scripted, everything's choreographed. It's theatrics.
That's the word I go back to. And as far
as cam Woard, I have nothing against cam Ward I don't.

(11:34):
I just know that I've read so many of these
scouting guides and I watched him play a few times
at Miami. I never said, boy, this is a number
one pick in the draft. This guy is far and
above everyone else at the very come. I never said that.
And I look at cam Warden and I say, this
guy is the latest example. It happens every year, in

(11:58):
the last fifteen years, more so than ever last generation
of NFL drafts. You look at a guy like cam
ward and in years past he would have gone in
the second round or maybe the late first round, and
he goes number one overall. Now why is that? Because

(12:20):
we are in the era of overdrafting quarterbacks. It is
a story as old as time, at least modern times
in the Internet age. You read the scouting reports on
cam Ward and they say he's undersized, he has issues
with ball security, accuracy, sack avoidance, all things that are
death for an NFL quarterback, Right, if you can't avoid

(12:42):
the sack, if you have ball security issues and you're
not accurate, how are you going to be anything more
than a quarterback living in the call de sack on
Suckberg Like you're not. You're going to be living in
in the little corner of the call de sect. There's Suckberg.
That's where you're gonna be living. And while he's caame
me an explosive playmaker, and we saw that in college

(13:04):
at Miami and saw that when he played back at
Washington State, the reckless, occasional reckless decision making is just
going to be enough that will destroy you. So we'll see.
H You know, this lot can change. Tennessee could trade
the pick of the top players. The one that I
look at said, well, that guy should be right at

(13:25):
Abdul Carter from Penn State. That's the guy that should
be drafted number one in terms of impact. And you're
guaranteed as we try to play that number one jingle
as much as we possibly can. All right, last word here,
So now we go to the general manager named Elliott Wolf.
You might not know who that is. Elliott Wolf told

(13:46):
season ticket holders of the Patriots because he works for
the Patriots. Elliott wolf who I thought had been I
thought his balls were taken away because Mike Rabel's really
running the show there. I thought he was deballed, but
apparently not.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
So.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Elliott told season ticket holders are the fledgling New England
football team that the plan for the Patriots. I hope
you're sitting down for this about to blow your way?
Did you see this? So Elliot Wolf jam of the
Patriots told the season ticket holders that the plan is
for the team to draft the quote best player available

(14:21):
in next month's draft. O m G. Yeah, So how
does that play with you? So that how does that
play with the bass for the Patriot fans? So I'm
gonna speak out of school here. This answer is cringeworthy.
When I hear an executive this time and he said, well,
are going to draft them best player available. I want

(14:44):
to take my hand. I want to make a fist
and I want to punch myself right in the nose
until it bleeds, is what I want to do. Uh,
And then I want to punch them is what I
would like to do. This is a horror mel Foods storyline.
It is canned spam is what do it needs. That's

(15:04):
what it is. It's filler. It's emptiness. It's that you
have nothing to say, you have to say something best
player available. In politics, it'd be called a filibuster. It
is a filibuster, is what it is. Your lips are
moving and you're not saying anything. Your lips are moving
and you are not saying a blankety blank thing. The

(15:28):
legal definition of the term best is as good as
all the rest. I remind those of you a little
slow here. So when someone says we are going to
draft the best player available, you're saying we're gonna draft
somebody who's good as all the other players. It's the
reason your favorite deli can say that they have the
world's best turkey sandwich or pastrami sandwich and cannot be sued.

(15:49):
But if you say our sandwich, our hogi is better
than the other places, hope, and then you can be sued.
It's not that hard. So the Patriots have the number
four overall pick in the draft, which conceivably would give
them an opportunity to draft the Heisman Trophy winner from Colorado,

(16:09):
Travis Hunter, So they will either draft him or some
no name offensive lineman you've never heard of, who you
will never hear from again unless he sucks. That's usually
how that goes. It is the Ben Mahler Show. If

That's right, And you didn't say my name yet again,
bad job by you. But we are rolling on through
these early morning hours and we'll get to the story.
We tease it. It's all about you gotta be kidding

(18:34):
you gotta be get a lot of reaction to the
game we played at the end of last hour. And
I am happy report that the judge said, you hate
to see a thrilling game of mallards amount of money
decided by the referees. But under further review, I cannot
accept blah Blah Morant for Jahn Morant, so Ben wins.
That's according to the official judge of the game. Shows

(18:54):
fer Dog, who has chimed in Eugene in Chicago, says
that Malo's a sore loser, which is not correct. I'm
just channeling Dan Hurley, the head coach at Connecticut. Do
you see, by the way, one of the minions, one
of the assistants there at Connecticut. I saw this story

(19:15):
and I want to give it to you. Hold on,
let me find the details. I don't want to screw
this up, because God knows, I don't want to screw
something up very important. You're doing overnights, you get it right.
So the story is that some communications director at Connecticut
supposedly threatened the reporter that recorded the head coach at Connecticut,

(19:36):
Dan Hurley, when he came off the court and he
made the comments about Baylor. I hope the refs don't
f fu the way they f'd us. And this communication
director for Yukon threatened this reporter saying he would ruin
his life if the video was not taken down. All right, now,

(19:58):
a couple of things. First of all, you can't take
anything down from the Internet. Once it's on the Internet,
it's there forever. You can't get rid of it once
it's on a social media platform. So is this guy
stupid from the University of Connecticut. The other thing is
you're going to ruin someone's life because they're a member

(20:19):
of the media and they recorded in a public space
the coach of a university in the tournament saying something
walking off the court. What are you going like, mob?
Old school mob? What do you take his knee caps off?
What are you gonna do? You'll never work in this
town again. Seriously, what kind of dumb dumb is that?
My god? Unreal? All right, let's go to the phones

(20:42):
and let's say hello to eenie meenie miney mo. Let's
say hello to Dick in Dayton.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
Hello, Dixter, good morning, how with everybody?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Hello Dick and Dayton. Good to chat with you, my man.
Baseball season starting you fired up? You have baseball fevered
Dick and Dayton?

Speaker 6 (20:58):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah. That's opening day. I think
Thursday for the Reds, and I don't think the Indians
would say they don't open until around the fifth of April,
about the fifth of a.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
No, no, no, it's not no, you're talking about You
might be talking about the home opener and the Guardians,
of course, but but no, everyone's playing on Thursday. It's
opening day in baseball.

Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yeah yeah, but everybody, uh predicts the Guardians to win it.
I think what the ex Guardigan's coach. I think they could.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Terry Frank Conna. Now Cincinnati, the big Red machine, the
big Red Machine is not going to return. About you,
I feel like you're more of a Guardians fan.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
I am.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:42):
Especially the Cavaliers. How about them? They're doing so good
this year?

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, they are, although Patrick Beverly said that they're nobody's
scared of the Cavaliers. What do you have to say
to Patrick Beverley?

Speaker 6 (21:54):
I say that he's wrong.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
He's wrong. Say that a coup, Patrick Beverly, You're wrong.
Dick and Dayton has spoken. Nobody's stopping the Calves.

Speaker 6 (22:06):
Hey getting no one thing?

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Though?

Speaker 6 (22:08):
Can't be if I know it's been about his thirtieth year.
He needs a legend?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Who's that?

Speaker 6 (22:13):
Tom Hamilton?

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh? Great play by play announcer for the Cleveland baseball team. Hey,
can I tell.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
You he was footing in the other night in seven hundred?

Speaker 5 (22:22):
Wow?

Speaker 6 (22:24):
Tom Brindham and I got to talk to him. He
was just he said, there's one of my favorites, one
of my favorite and he said, yeah, it's it's it's
it's really nice. But I'm just thinking, I couldn't believe
about the Browns. You know about Miles Garrett, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, they paid him all that money. He staying out
Tom brenhaman there's a common denominator because Tom used to
pop up but he was forced to talk to us
on Sundays when he worked for Fox, and we had
him on every so often. So, uh, that's a small world,
after all. It's a small small world there, And the
Brown's paying all that. Man who's gon me the quarterback
for the Browns next year? Right now? Give me an answer.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
I guess Pickett, right, Kenny Pickett?

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Wow, No, they got to get somebody better than that.
Come on, I got to get somebody got to get
so many better than and.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
The Bengals state. I'm surprised they That deal they made
with Chase and Higgins, I guess was pretty good, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, Well, they paid him a lot of money, and
then certainly we'll see if they can live up to it.
Chase already has and Higgins is all right, highest paid
number two receiver. All right, now, Dick and Dayton, remember
we're getting closer. At some point. We're thinking sometime in
the month of June, most likely, Matt Mallord meet and
greet in Ohio. Nothing confirmed yet, but you better be there.
I mean, even if you got a gig. I don't

(23:42):
care if it's the Domers or the whatever it is.
You got to make sure you're there. We need if
I would be great if you guys performed.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
Now to call you on the fourteenth. That's my birthday.
It's April fourteenth, the same day as Pete.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
That's right, I know that because that's a that's a
big April fourteenth, Dick and Dayton's national holiday, your birthday.
All right, Dick, I gotta go, Thank you, bye bye,
bye bye. All right, you too, the great Dick and Dayton.
Check it in. Let's say hello to Eenie Meenie Mineumo
moving Man, Matt, who had a very famous conclave. This
thing went viral on social media. The moving Man and

(24:20):
our friend the Milkman in Colorado got together. Hello, moving Man.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
What's going on? Big Ben? Yeah, it was other than
not being able to breathe in this coxic altitude.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yes, many people moved to Colorado because of the air.
You go there and you're like, this is the worst
thing ever.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Oh, second and third floor moves and I was dying.
I had to hire an extra guy. I'm like, this
is one of them. You know, this is why they
You know the Broncos have an advantage when people come
in to play them.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yes, that's why the Broncos win the Super Bowl every year.
Never lose at home. The Rockies never lose at home.
The Nuggets always win at home because of the altitude.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
Yes, I needed some canned oxygen. I can tell you
that it was miserable, but it was great to be
quick meeting with milkman Mike. I have a tight schedule.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Uh, yes, you're very You're a very important man. You
cannot be bothered, did you? And now you were the
one I met you at a truck stop I remember
famously here in the in the LA area, and you
educated me on the life of a truck driver, including
the type of lizard that hangs out at a truck stop.
I did not know until you educated me what exactly

(25:31):
goes on at the truck stop. I did not know that.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
I mean allegedly.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
I mean I think we have allegedly. I think that's
a that's a subculture of lizards. I believe.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
I mean, there's that's that specific truck stop was notorious
back in the day. I told you there's there's a
documentary on it. Yeah, in California there, but.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
That's a special special breed of lizards that hangs out
at that truck stop.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Yeah.

the Hall of Fame. So remember that when you get
to Seattle, he will not be in the Hall of Fame.
