Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, ber Fall Hour four.
You knew we could not go that long into the
calendar year twenty twenty three without a Tom Brady Maller monologue.
And Tom Brady is he coming back? What is your
way of thinking on these latest round of Tom Brady

(00:22):
comeback rumors? We will discuss the future of the retired
quarterback late of the Buccaneers, our teams considering Tom Brady
is a legitimate option on the comeback trail, and how
can Tom Brady put a stop to all the rumors.

(00:44):
We'll talk about that and a whole lot more right
now in our number four here it is don't call
it a comeback because it's not yet a comeback, but
maybe it will be a comeback. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are
in the air everywhere close by as we get hooked

(01:09):

Will update you on a story that has been percolating here,

(01:56):
bubbling up in the overnight to Joe Mixon sits in
any Bengal a running back his home was surrounded by
a police. They entered his home. There was a shots
fired call and somebody was shot. We don't know who
they are. A juvenile was taking to the hospital. They

(02:16):
said minor injuries, which means what a grays and if
you get shot. I don't know how minor of the
injuries are. Anyway, there was a crime scene overnight. Police
have left. We sent our embedded reporter, our man on
the scene, not on the payroll. Just Josh, one of
our listeners in Cincinnati's drove over there and checked it out.

(02:37):
It's the very bougie Anderson Township neighborhood of Ohio, and
the Hamilton County Police Sheriff's Department was there through a
lot of the overnight hours there and no arrest had
been made again, and the sister of Joe Mixon telling
a local TV station in the Cincinnati telling WLW to

(03:00):
that her brother was not involved in the shooting that
happened on the Monday and night, So take that for
what it's worth. No one was arrested though, so we'll
see what happens with that more. As the sun will
rise in the east, we will get more information, I'm

(03:20):
sure on that throughout the day, but as the NFL
gets set for the most expensive game of Taggert which
is today. By the way, we were given a return
engagement of Tom Brady. Chatter who he's coming back? Noise
not Maybe he is, I don't know, say what now
he didn't see this. Tom Brady, who is still considered

(03:43):
retired because he announced his retirement after the twenty twenty
two season, Well said to be contemplating doing soul searching.
I'm not coming back. Our former colleague used to work
here at Fox Sports Radio, Rich Eisen, now he's slumming
over there at the NFL network full time. He's been
doing that for a while too. Rich Eisen is the

(04:04):
one peddling the latest round of dirt. It's a great
time you go to the combine, you get all your
meals paid for, all your hotel, your Uber, your lift,
all that paid for. You get back from the combine,
and then you just throw rumors against the wall. I
heard this guy. I was getting a Starbucks and I
heard this, and then I was getting a massage, but

(04:27):
not the kind of massage to Shaun Watson gets. And
then I saw this happen, and then yeah, So rich
Eisen spent a week in Indianapolis. He had the top
five rumors that he heard, and among them he named
Tom Brady coming back as a possibility. He even named
the Dolphins as a destination. You might remember Miami was

(04:48):
dinged some draft pick compensation because they were found guilty
of tampering with Tom Brady. And the report said once
the twenty twenty two NFL season, and we know Brady
announced his retirement, but some, at least some that talk
to Rich Eisen, do not believe that he is fully
committed to retirement. So let us discuss the question what

(05:13):
is your way of thinking? Right? What is your way
of thinking on these latest Tom Brady comeback rumors? So
I've got screenplays Treographically and Lizzo, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make a gut punch, which I think every time I

(05:33):
see one of these Tom Brady stories, it's like a
big gut punch, nice gut punch. A right not to
kick off here. Last year, we know the time I
took forty days and forty nights right out of the
Bible for Tom Brady to say, I'm back, I'm back,
I'm back. He knows the roadmap to unretired. It is
not foreign to him. Brady has left the door open

(05:54):
to come back. And the reason why that is is
he has already rejected the career that he had signed
up for after he was done playing. He had the
golden parachute. He said, I don't either golden parachute. Tom
Brady hit the pause button on an agreement to join Fox,
turned down the chance for now to call the Super Bowl.

(06:17):
He would have called Super Bowl fifty seven. I will
garn f and t. If Tom Brady called up the
executives at Fox and said, hey, I would put me
in coach, I'd like to play broadcaster, they would have
absolutely put him in the Super Bowl with no experience.
That would have been his debut as maiden voyage at
Super Bowl fifty seven in Arizona didn't happen, and he
was set to call all the big NFC games on

(06:38):
Fox in twenty twenty three didn't happen. Says he's not
doing it. What does that tell us? That tells you
that Tom Brady is weighing his options. It's not unlike
televisions of full time work, full time gig. It's it's
part time work. It is. It's a part time job.
You work two or three days a week and you
just got to stay up on the NFL. But he
fly in on a Saturday, you have some production meetings

(07:01):
on a Saturday, and you go out to dinner with
your team on a Saturday night. You do the game
on Sunday, and then you're flying back home. You're home
by Sunday night. Boom by the bing bottle, boom, You're done.
It's great to keep your name out there in the headlines.
You do the bare minimum, but you make it seem
like you're reinventing the wheel as an NFL broadcaster. You're not.

(07:23):
But Brady rejected that. For now, he's already gone down
the garden path to unretire. If you unretire once, you
can certainly unretire again. We've seen it how many times
over the years with famous athletes from Brett Farve to
others along the way, Michael Jordan and many others who've
retired and come back and then retired and came back

(07:45):
and all that. So we as we learn from the
screenplays about Jaded Soldiers also and Mafia movies, it gets
much easier the second time you do something. Now, further,
are there actually teams that consider this a viable option,
a viable option that Tom Brady is going to come back?
So I am nodding my head, yes, that that is

(08:06):
the case. As long as Tom Brady has a pulse,
he's in play. And I'll tell you why, right because
he's good box office And ultimately, it was a business,
the business of football, and Tom Brady even as a
falling star, and make no mistake, despite the Brady lapdogs
that suck his toes, tom Brady played like a washed

(08:28):
up quarterback falling star. Don't let a falling star fall
on you in the twilight of his career. And he said, well, fine,
he was forty five, I get it. But his performance
was sideways, and you're not supposed to say that in
polite society those daytime people don't like to talk about that.
But Tom Brady sucked at a time you cannot suck.
And that was the entire season last year, and certainly

(08:50):
the last six games in particular, it got worse. It
didn't get better for Tom Brady in Tampa. Eleven touchdown,
seven interceptions the last six games. The wild card playoff game,
you remember that against the Cowboys. Pee you what stinks?
That's Peppe Lapeo, Tom Brady at quarterback el Stinko as
it was bad, bad, bad, So despite the wobbly performance,

(09:15):
if he wants to come back, he can go back.
He's a blue blood. He moves the needle. We know
that Brady is the text a friend person that Hey,
I'm just checking to see how life's treating you toime. Yeah,
this is you know, Joe Schmo from the Raiders. I
just want to see how everything's going. Yeah, let see
everything all right? This is uh, you know, blobbley, blabbly

(09:38):
blobbery from the Jets. You're thinking about planning in New York,
New Jersey. Come on, you ever wanted to wear green? No?
You want to do that. Okay, just checking, But listen,
if Brady wanted to play for the Dolphins, then there
would be a mad dash to send over a boiler
plate contract that Brady crossed the t's dot the I
signed the John Hancock being a boy a boom done

(10:01):
Miami does make the most sense, more than the Raiders,
forty nine ers or Jets. Geographically desirable. His home is
in Miami in the offseason, is a broken family situation,
resides in South Florida. And to a tongue about lows
damaged goods, the Dolphins tried to get Brady last year.
They swung a miss sawing a miss did not get him.

(10:25):
And if you remember when Brady left the Patriots to
go down to Tampa, he went there because the Buccaneers
had a pretty good defense and they also happen to
have a couple of good wide receivers. Well, I don't
know how great the Dolphins defense is, but their wide
receiver corps with Tyreek Hill and Jail and Waddle Wattle

(10:47):
Wattle Waddle pretty good. You got speed racer on one
side and roadrunner on the other. Sonic the hedgehog level
speed for those cats. The drawback. I don't know if
it's a drawback, it might be a plus is that
you're in the AFC East. That's not the normal lightweight division.
Brady all those years with the Patriots got to beat
up on crap Bills teams and embarrassing Dolphins and Jets teams.

(11:10):
In Tampa. He got to plan a division recently that
was so bad you didn't even have to have a
winning record to end up in playoff contention. You have
a losing record and make the playoffs in tamp But
in the AFC East right now, Buffalo is pretty good
and the Patriots are not. But the Jets are on

(11:32):
the come, as they say in pokers. So there's not
the lightweights there. I don't think. If there is, it's
the Patriots, and you could be like Poltergeist haunting the Patriots.
How much fun would that be for Tom Brady to
go back and breathe down the neck of all those
old friends party shot? So how can Tom Brady put
a stop to these roamers? So there's a couple of

(11:54):
ways to end this, as a report from state sponsor
in NFL media suggested, NFL bigwigs. According to a Rich eisenstory.
They were. They were all like, Brady can come back.
He's gonna come back. Just wait, you wait and see
Brady's gonna come back. And rich Eisen said, Brady, you know,
he apparently told this person that Brady was instagramming pictures

(12:14):
of his cat, and the NFL guy says, it doesn't
look like he's getting big and fat. So that's the answer.
The answer is Tom Brady needs to turn into a
male Lizzo. And if that happens, and I know how
to get to that point because I've lived that life,
you gotta eat a lot of hogies, a lot of fries,
ding dongs, fried ravioli, fried chicken, anything, fried cheese, steak,

(12:40):
candy cakes, cookies till your heart desires. And you need
to show up a cross between Lizzo and the stay
Puffed marshmallow Man. And if you do that, wowsers, that'll
work out. Do that, the NFL will stop texting you,
they'll stop calling you, they stop saying that you're gonna
come back and play. Otherwise, as Tom Brady's gonna have

(13:01):
at least another five years up until around fifty and
it's mid forties now, so up until you just do
about fifty then that will probably die away at that
particular point. It is the Ben Mallards show. We are
not giving out the number. But if you know the
number and you have something to say, you want to
call up, you can call us up right now and
yap oh way at eight seven seven. No, I'll say,

(13:22):
I'm must give up. I just gave out the beginning.

NFL day. It's the tag day or you have to
announce your franchise tags, Lamar Jackson, what will the Ravens do?

(15:39):
Inquiring mindes would like to know. Ferg Darg rights and
he says, Ben, I am a big enough loser to
rig the vote on the Bennys, but I will not
bother unless I miraculously reach the finals. Do not be
surprised if I win by a hundred thousand votes. Ferg
Dark says yeah. And I have said man and no one,

(16:03):
no listeners helped me out on this, but I am
not against bot accounts following my my my thing. There
used to be some guys I will not name them,
you know who they already that worked here that on
a Monday, they they they signed off their show and
by it was actually it was a Friday. They signed

(16:27):
off on the show, and then Monday when they came back,
they had picked up like three hundred thousand followers on
social media. Was all. It was all like pretty good Yeah,
it was like all people from let's just say countries,
they probably would not listen to the show because they're
they're not English speaking country, so it's but you know,
but then they were all fake accounts. But there's a

(16:49):
lot of money in that. I saw that documentary that
was a couple of years ago about how people are
making tons of dough with bot accounts. Crazy crazy, crazy crazy. Uh,
let's he can't read that on the air. Justin in
Cincinnati has a beef with Rich Eisen. He does not

(17:10):
like Rich. What are you saying about him? Uh, you
want to read that? You want to what he said
about his uh the quality of his show and his
relationship decisions and all that. A big fan, big supporter
of the show. Yeah, all right, very very exciting. Let's

(17:35):
go to the phones and we'll SELLO Trey, who's in Louisiana. Hello, Trey, Welcome. Hey,
what's going on? Ben hire Man. Look, I'm not reading
that excited about car I mean, yeah, I guess he's
a little above average. But uh, we had a lot
of just you know, block quarterbacks over the year. Bladen Wilson,
they get Jim hurt at the end of his career,

(17:57):
and uh so, Car, you know it's I'm sure you
might be the best quarterback in the division right now,
but that probably won't last longer or whatever. Well, Trey,
he's the only he's the only quarterback in the division.
Of course, he's the top quarterback in the They literally
have it's like your bingo card. They have the blank
space at quarterback every other team the Saints play right now,

(18:20):
but that will obviously change over the next couple of
months and they'll all have quarterbacks. And then people debate this.
But I look at Derek Carr first of all, like
a slightly better packaged version of Andy Dalton without as
much baggage. And that's it. I don't I don't think, oh,
this is great, and he's it's really a perfect relationship
because if he went to the Jets and played the

(18:43):
way he's going to play with the Saints, it would
have been amazing. The tabloids would have eaten him alive.
Now you live there, Trey, You're in the belly of
the beast. Do you think if Derek Carr comes out
and pukes all over the twenty five yard line that
that'll be a big deal. I mean, the people we upset,
but it's not gonna be like a war crime, you
know what I'm saying. Well, sometimes, like being here in Louisiana,

(19:06):
we've uh we sucked for many years, just you know,
it's always the Saints and the said sat that game,
but uh we kindly got to winning teams here, but
at the Eller Shoe College winning national championships, and they
never did either. There was sucked and so he just
Saint went a foot Bowl. And now all of a
sudden we're thinking, were you know, the favorite in division
every year? His heart division is really not the case.

(19:29):
But uh yeah, I think I think I needed we
needed the Saints need to suck for three years and
get lucky and get Arch Manning and there you go.
Thank for Arch the arch over the Dome put him in. Yeah,
what if he sucks at Texas? Do you still want him?
Uh nah, he's not going to suck a Texas well.

(19:49):
Yet you don't know that, you don't know, maybe you know,
you don't know for sure. You know this is a
this is the spawn of the Manning that didn't make
it in the NFL. Well, maybe it would be the
fourth Manning sucks. Maybe that's what it is. And so
the first three weren't bad at all. So well, Cooper
Manning didn't make it. And he's that's Cooper Manning's kid,
right is Arch Manning. That's the that's the Manning he

(20:11):
comes from. Yeah, all right, all right, we'll leave it there.
We'll leave it there to thank you. So is it
true that NHL executives are incensed furious with a former
Fox Sports radio morning host who's now I guess going
onto some other things at ESPN, stephen A Smith. Stephen
A was very dismissive of the New York Rangers. You

(20:35):
might know that the National Hockey League has a business relationship,
allegedly with with ESPN. And now, whose side are you on?
I'm gonna go first, daddy. I'm actually on the side
of the NHL on this way. I understand what stephen
A is doing. He doesn't. He barely knows about basketball.

(20:55):
God forbid, he has to hot follow hockey. So it
would be a problem for easketball. I'm kidding, but but
but anyway, The point is that you know, a lot
of these guys don't want to talk about baseball. They
want to talk about football. They want to talk about
baseball basketball because it's just easier for them just to
ignore those things and they can just focus on football
and occasionally basketball. But if i'm the NHL, the way

(21:18):
sports television works, it's pay to play, and it's the
dirty under underbelly, the CD underbelly of the way that
business works. That you are you're buying talk time that
when you have a business relationship with a company like
major media company, you're getting a couple of things. You're
getting publicity for your business obviously, and they're not gonna

(21:42):
bury you. They're not gonna take cheap shots at you.
So the code was broken. But stephen A must think
Eddy and you work with it. He must think that
he's so he's so invincible and so powerful and omnipresent
that he can do whatever he wants. But I'm I
totally am on the side of the NHL. I mean,
that's how that works. You they have a relationship. It's

(22:05):
just more of a streaming relationship, right Eddie, it's not
really it's not on their cable channels. It's more for
the for the stream situation. But remember for years when
when the NHL left to go to NBC, and I
that was so long ago. I was still covering hockey.
I was at games a lot, and the people out
there would be like, Oh, we just got to get

(22:25):
back to es. That'll be the magic pulse boat that'll
fix everything. And now they're back, and now they're like,
wait a minute, what the hell? Be careful what you
wish for? Right, Well, they cashed a big check, so
that's that's what they care about. But the one thing
about ESPN that you you know, whether you love them
or hate him, is that they usually can promote the
you know what out of whatever's on their air, I mean,

(22:47):
to the to the sky. They can turn chicken crap
into you know yeah, and but they have not done
that with the NHL at all. Uh And now and
then that Stephen A making a really lame joke about like,
you know, the only thing I know about hockey you
as black as the puck, Like, oh my god, that
coop coops, Like I want to use that for the

(23:08):
lame jokes of the week. What happened man? That was
funny like twenty five years ago. Maybe I don't even
know if it was funny at that, but I mean,
it's like racist. They didn't go over there at the
NHL offices I don't think so, I don't I don't
think that that was. Yeah, that's not a good not
a good. All jokes at their mark. But Coop enjoyed that,
so he liked it very much. Anyway, That is a
crazy tale there of the people over DSPN upsetting the NHL.

(23:34):
But how long is that TV contract? How long is
the deal NHL signed? I'm assuming that's a long term agreement. Yeah. Yeah,
so they're not going anywhere and that money as long
as those checks keep coming in. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey, it's Ben, host of
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller along with my trusty

(23:54):
sidekick David Gascon. Would mean a lot to have you
join us on our weekly auditory journey. What in God's
name is the Fifth Hour? I'll tell you it's a
spin off of that Ben Mallershaw Colt hit overnights on FSR.
Why should you listen? Picture if you will a world
will we chat with captains of industry in media, sports
and more. Every week Explorer some amazing facts about a

(24:16):
human nature and more. Let'sten to the Fifth Hour with
Ben Maller on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever
you get your podcast. So the other day we're talking
about John Moran, who's now being investigated because he posted
a video flashing a gun on his own Instagram account.
What a mensa, what a genius he is. But there's

(24:37):
a story that came out, and we talked about this
the other day that DeMarcus Cousins had said that John
Moran he needs veteran leadership and he won't make these
mistakes if he has veteran leadership. So the Memphis Grizzlies,
we are told, had a player's only meeting to discuss
off the court discipline on the old. Steven Adams, the

(25:03):
pride of New Zealand, a veteran NBA player. Steven Adams
has been around the NBA for a fair amount of time.
He's not he's springing chicken. Steven Adams has been an
NBA player since twenty thirteen, so that's a decade in

(25:23):
the NBA. That's a seasoned veteran. And so he was
the one that was leading the meeting, according to a
sham Shania, So how do you think the meeting turned out?
So the Grizzlies have this players only meeting. You gotta
be good. You gotta behave when you're on the road.
You gotta act a certain way. We've got to do
this the right way. We're professionals. Blah blah blah blah

(25:46):
blah blah blah. So after the meeting, John Morant went
out to a club in Colorado and flashed a gun
on Instagram. So there you go, in your face, you loser,
Steven Adams. You dope, all right, you moron? What's wrong
with you? Anyway, we'll see. I was trying to look up.

(26:10):
I wasn't. I did look up. I tried. I didn't
succeed at this. But I was looking up the gun
laws in Colorado to see if John Morant violated the
gun laws in the local jurisdiction. And it was hard
to find. It's a small town in the in the
Denver area, but Glendale, Colorado is the is the towns.

(26:36):
I was trying to find the gun laws there and
I did not find whether or not he I assume
you're not allowed just like the flash the game. Is
that actually enough to charge you with a crime. It
is illegal in Colorado to possess a firearm wall under
the influence of alcohol. That is a problem, and the

(26:57):
Glendale Police Department there in Colorado looking into it. Now,
did you see what establishment this happened at? Did you
see the name of it? Yeah, we're told that happened
at Shotgun Willies, which Shotgun Willies is a gentleman's club
in Glendale, Colorado, and that is where. But he didn't

(27:19):
have a shot. If he had had a shotgun, it
would have been never but he had a hymn gun.
He didn't have the shotgun. No, it's Shotgun Willies. That
guy's got a shotgun though. Yeah, that's that's quite the
place there. When you go to Denver, you always go
to Shotgun Willies, don't you know. I'm looking at their
website here. It founded in nineteen eighty two. It is

(27:40):
the premier gentleman's club and the greater Denver area. So
there's actually yes, like, oh well, it depends what you like.
But some lovely ladies in my apologies to them right there,
And that's that's what a lot of the guys hang
out when they go to remember the NBA guys, the

(28:01):
baseball players that I don't know, I don't know all
they have a you like this, Roberto, they have Texas
hold them Saturdays at this place. That Shotgun Willies the
Country Mondays. So if you like the cowboy boots, the
cowboy hat, they've got that. Oh T Bone Tuesday, Today's
t Bone Tuesday. Great lunch special there in the t

(28:24):
Bone stay Saturday show. No, they have handguns Saturday. That
was a job morand special. Uh you have two for
one burgers every Friday. It sounds good to me. Look
at that right there. All right, giggy, See what happens
as the police investigated? Is the Ben Maller Show on Fox.
Let's say hello to Cowboy John Brad in Windsor, Ontario. Cowboy,

(28:50):
you ever been to Shotgun Willies in your travels across
the globe? No, I've never done the Denver Oh okay, anyway, Um,
what is um John Moranz and apparently um Joe Mixon's
favorite band? No, I don't know. Guns and Roses. You

(29:13):
can't retire, Cowboy, you cannot retire. It's jokes like that, Cowbo.
You still have your fastball, Cowboy, you can't retire. You
got your fastball? Yeah, I got some. On the fifteenth
anniversary of bloody Sunday on the Edmond Pendant Bridge, UH
when the thuggish deputies of the equally Swinish Dallas UH

(29:37):
Jim Clark beat and police dubbed the peaceful voting rights
marchers were trying to march from SMA to Montgomery, and
the march actually took place two weeks later. And I
