(01:05):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show.
We are in the air everywhere at the same time
as we share the word on the street, coast to coast,
porter the border and beyond. On the vast and dashingly
powerful microphones of fs are emanating live from the line.
(01:31):
As we cross the finish line, we are broadcasting live
from the ti iraq dot com studios. Ti iraq dot
com will help you get there in unmatched election, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Ti iraq dot com the way tire buying
should be. So our lead this hour coming from the NFL.
(01:57):
We'll get to a juicy you see rumor that is
bouncing around the overnight hours involving one of the big
stars in sports. Will rehash that for those that are
late to the party, and your eyeballs will pop out
of your heads when you hear this story. We'll get
to that coming up in a few minutes, but I'll
leave this hour coming from the practice field, not a game,
(02:20):
not a game. We talked about practice, not a game,
not a game. Practice. Say what that is? Where the
NFL News of the Day is about to take place
at a undisclosed location in the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area.
It involves o BJ Man about town, Man about town. Now,
(02:45):
if you did not hear and possibly not, Odell Beckham
is going to hold a freehent showcase, the showcase showdown
where oh b J. It's a job audition, dummy run, practice,
a trial. However you want to say it in Arizona.
That's gonna take place later today. Obviously it's not going
(03:06):
on right now. It's very early in the morning. It
would not be going on right now. Beckham is thirteen
months removed from Snapcrackle pop in that Super Bowl, greatest
super Bowl of all time, Rams Bengals Must see TV,
and he tore his acl up in that game at
(03:28):
a big start, that particularly Super Bowl. Not to go
down that rabbit hole again. We know that Beckham did
not play last year despite multiple recruiting efforts by the Cowboys,
who took him to a Mavericks game and the crowd
was chanting his name and that was embarrassing. Buffalo's Vaughan
Miller tried to bring ob J to a New York
(03:52):
and that did not work out, and the Giants were like,
come home, come home, come home. And Beckham did not
go anywhere, did not go anywhere. He didn't play. He
ended up declining to work out for teams, and so
he could not prove whether or not he was healthy
enough because spoiler alert, I'm gonna go out in a
(04:13):
limb here and I'm gonna say, in my opinion, he
was not healthy. Otherwise he would have worked out, but
he did flirt with a bunch of teams and he
got a lot of attention and jackasses like yours truly
did Mallard monologs on that. But according to state sponsored
NFL network, he probed the news service of football, Odell
Beckham is now one hundred percent healthy. WHOA, I know
(04:36):
you're excited about that. Come out. No you're not. So
let's discuss the question what is your level of interest?
And Odell Beckham's workout so on the Mallar scale of
interest one to ten, with ten being you can't turn
it off. You just lock it in and you enjoy
(04:58):
it and you watch it over and over and you
stay tuned. I'm out of three. I'm out of three
on the Mallard scale of interest. I've got Jet LaGG,
chef Boyard, shout out, Marcel, and peanut Brittle and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
(05:20):
going to make a smoothie, a pineapple fruit smoothie, which
our friend Doc Mike likes so much. So to kick
off here, Odell Beckham, I have mixed emotions when it
comes to Odell Beckham, just so we're on the same wavelength. Here.
Odell has been very good for business. I'm in the
conversation business. I come in here. It's a pretty easy job,
(05:43):
you know. You come in they tell you don't pull
any punches. You come in there and you just kind
of react to what's going on in the sports world.
So and every once in a while with backfires and
sometimes it's a little slower than others. But there are
worse problems to have. It's the first world problem when
these things pop up. So I would like to thank
Odell Beckham for his donations to the content on the show.
Over the years, we have gone many nights with Odell
(06:04):
Beckham as the lead story. So he has gone above
and beyond the call of duty. But has it run
its course when in doubt. For a while it was
thrown obj monologue out works every time. But after the
fiasco at the end of twenty twenty two, when Odell Beckham,
(06:26):
in my book, became a hobgoblin, the way that he
kept dancing and flirting with all these teams and then
went home with the the friends. But our position for
now has changed. We are as numb as a little
bug when it comes to this guy and the Beckham rumors,
and so you can mark us down on your little
(06:46):
scorecard as having jetlag, that our body's internal clock is broken.
We have fatigue, we have Beckham fatigue, tiredness. These are
the same symptoms, by the way, that we have been
going through when it comes to Arid Rogers over exposed.
(07:07):
We need some of that ayahuasca that Aaron Rodgers loves
so much. Now. Furthermore, is OBJ a difference maker at
this point? So this is the million dollar question, the
multimillion dollar question. And if he is, then Beckham's on
a winning street. That's the crossword puzzle. It's complicated. It's complicated.
(07:31):
Odell is sitting on an oil reserve if he doesn't
stumble today, And I'll tell you why. The top pass
the top available pass catchers in free agency are generic,
no frills, wide receivers. Jacobe Myers, the law firm from
(07:51):
the Patriots, ju Juice Smith Schuster of Kansas City. Alan
Lazard is also on the market. If you want him,
you can get you can a Lazard. Those guys do
not give you the warm tingly feeling. They don't. They're
baseline players. That's fine, that's great. Juju is very good
at TikTok, congratulations. I don't know anything about Jakobe Myers
(08:14):
because he plays with the Patriots and they're all boring.
And Alan Lazard has a great name, but not a
great game. I know that. But until proven otherwise, O B. J.
Who has the skill set to dominate and be better
than those players, But until otherwise, he is in the
discount in Odell Beckham is the can of beef Arni
(08:36):
Chef Boyard beef Arroni that has a dent in it
and it's marked down because of the dent. Now I
will garruntee you that Odell Beckham does not consider himself
a discount, that he's a value player. He does not.
And he's like, what about the razmataz? What about the marketing?
(08:56):
What about this? What about that? All right? Party? So
who is the favorite? I know you're dying to know
who's the favorite for the services of Odell beck And
the answer is the usual suspects. The needle has not
moved that far the other direction. That Odell Beckham is
(09:17):
not for everybody. He's proven that he can keep his
nose clean and walk the line long enough to win
a Super Bowl? Did it with the Rams? Did it
with the rams. But he's an acquired taste, and he's
got a couple of warning labels right alongside. I've got
a couple of warning labels there as you look around Beckham,
(09:39):
and some people will scream bloody murder when they see those.
One says handle with care and the other says high voltage.
So Beckham is delicate, he is fragile. Since twenty seventeen,
so going back the last five plus years, Odell Beckham
has had a high ankle sprain, an ankle fracture, a
(10:02):
quad bruise, a sports hernia, which sounds not that bad
unless you really look up and google what a sports
hernia is. I learned that lesson. We used to have
a guy that worked here named Brian Cox, who I
did not get along with him, but he was a
linebacker for the Dolphins and a bunch of other teams
in the NFL, and I was doing a show with
him one day and there was a we were doing
(10:22):
a news story about a guy that had a sports hernia,
and Brian told me off the years the way I
had one, and then he described very graphically what that involved.
In the twiggin berries area of the male anatomy and
it was very uncomfortable. It was I still remember it
though all these years later. But wait, there's more. Odell
(10:45):
Beckham's had a lower back injury, He's had another toe sprain,
a shoulder sprain, hip bruise, acl tear twice. In other words,
he is peanut brittle, peanut brittle Beckham. The other warning
is primadonna tendencies. Prima donna tendencies. That's the high voltage.
(11:07):
And Odell while he has won, and so he becomes
the beacon of light because he's got that afterglow. He
is a show pony, stylish, flamboyant and one of the
all time great cons. When he used his father, he
weaponized his old man a social media post to get
him out of Cleveland, the Great Escape from Northern Ohio.
(11:31):
And he went out and he laughed all the way
to the Lamardi troph So back to the question at
hand here, and the question at hand is who's the
favorite for the services of Odell Beckham? And the answer
when I look around the landscape of the NFL, I
have how about them cowboys as the favorite? The glitz,
(11:52):
the glamor, the glitz and glamor there Jerry Jones and
Odell Beckham side by side. You got the scene, your
attention horror and the junior attention hor keeping up with
our Kardashians. It's like that that old Madonna song, Strike
a pose. Everyone, look at us, Look at us. Now
outside of the cowboys, get the giants to the bills.
(12:15):
I gotta think the Patriots will be in on this
because Beckham is a free agent and likely will not
be able to demand top dollar. Now, why Odell Beckham
would want to go play with mac and cheese with
the Patriots is beyond me, but I don't discount that
the Patriots will at least be kicking the tires on
(12:36):
Odell Beckham. All right, and it's the Ben Mallers Show. Now,
the story, which at this point has not blown up,
we'll see together. And we can do this because I'm
doing the overnight show that those those mainstream shows likely
won't touch it because it's a little dicey. We talked
about it back in the B block of hour one,
(12:56):
but we'll bring it back for those of you that
only listen this hour. So there's a a story a
former UFC fighter, Chill Sonnen, is making some accusations against
Lebron James, calling Lebron James a cheater in so many words,
implying that anyway. On a recent podcast interview, the former
UFC fighter, who himself was busted for performance enhancing drugs
(13:21):
when he was part of Dana White's fledgling UFC, Well,
he went on a podcast and claimed Lebron James uses
pe DS. What's his evidence, he said, Well, he was
asked what his evidences he claimed. Chill Sonon claimed that
himself and Lebron share the same drug. Guy Hello, Hello,
(13:46):
smoking gun, smoking gun, smoking gun. DNA evidence if true?
If true? And then he went on his name the
drug that he claimed Lebron used, the actation being made
by the former UFC combative member of the UFC community.
There he said that the drug is EPO And if
(14:11):
you're not familiar with that, I was not. It increases
your red blood cells, according to this cat, and that
gives you endurance. He said, is the most popular performance
and asking drug of today. So if your old school
like me, and you remember the steroids, just the raw
steroids and the other drugs that were used back ten
(14:33):
fifteen years ago, now it's it's EPO. The way to go,
according to this guy. Now, a couple of questions. Number One,
will the mainstream establishment media picked this up. I was
actually texting a couple of friends of mine who are
getting ready for their morning shows, and I was telling
them no, that the media is in bed with the NBA,
(14:58):
and Lebron is the NBA. So I'd be very surprised
if this picks up and people are just gonna dismiss it.
And my producer Coop already did that blaming the messenger
because this guy's a shady guy in the UFC and
all that. So that'll likely be is ow. This guy's nobody.
We're not going to give this guy attention. That'll be
number one. Number two, does Lebron James sue? I would
(15:18):
think that that's lawsuit worthy. You can sue for anything
at any time, but I believe that would be worthy
of a lawsuit. This guy just accused you of doing
pd said that you do the drugs with the same
guy that he used and he's been caught using pds.
It admitted to it. So we'll keep an eye on
that story today see if anything comes to that. It
(15:39):
is the Ben Maller Show as we press on. We're
gonna have the Coop Scoop on entertainment coming up in
a couple of minutes. Also, I did want to mention
one of the great mysteries. It's a really sad story
in Philadelphia, and I believe we have an answer. There's
a number of players for the Phillies that have died
of brain cancer and other forms of cancer, like more
(16:03):
than any other team in a certain period of time.
They think they know the answer now to that what
happened in Philadelphia. We'll get to the bottom of that.
We'll have the Coop Scoop on entertainment. We'll get to
it all, and we will do it next Myles do
best the rest. Thank you, Skeeter. I appreciate that. Skeeter

This weekend is daylight savings time, Saturday into Sunday two
(17:08):
am on Sunday most of the country, not in Arizona
and some few other places, but we spring forward, and
this was supposed to be the last time we do that.
The United States Senate last year they approved a bill
called the Sunshine Protection Act, which would have made this
the last time we ever have to move the clocks
(17:31):
in the United States, but it still has not been
fully signed in the law. The US House of Representatives
has not to take an action on it, neither as
President Fighter. So so it looks like we're still gonna
have to go through this dog and pony show in
(17:52):
November again unless these a holes in Washington get off
their I'm sorry, I have always hated it. It's so pointless,
and it's not because of the farmers. They always say
it's a farmer. The farmers don't care about it Anymore's
ridiculous anyway, It is the Ben Mallis Show. I wanted
to briefly mention this story because it's a story we
(18:13):
followed from a distance over the years out of Philadelphia.
And there have been of a number of people that
played for the Phillies back in the old days that
all died from brain cancer. And that list includes Ken Brett,
George Brett's brother, Tug McGraw, legend, his kid, a country
(18:37):
music star, Johnny Yates who I was. I was around
him when he managed a lot. He was a surly guy,
John Vukovic, and Darren Dalton. All those guys passed away
or died everyone to say from brain cancer from twenty
h four to May of twenty twenty two. Now there
(18:59):
was another former Philly who I remember more as a
met a picture by the name of David West, who
was He's the sixth Philly back in the day to
die from brain cancers. So some investigative reporters in Philadelphia
got on the case and they think they've cracked the
case on why all these guys were dying a brain cancer.
(19:22):
And this is a wild story. So they got a
hold of the astro turf that covered the vet in
Philadelphia in the late seventies and the eighties, and they
were able to track it down and they sent it
to they sent it to some labs, some scientists to
examine the AstroTurf, and they found not one, not two,
(19:44):
not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven,
how about sixteen different forever chemicals that they're called pfas
is what they're called. I'm not a scientist, but they're
they're forever chemicals. And they were trying to figure out,
like why did the Eagle players nobody to minors from
(20:04):
the Philadelphi Eagles who also played at Veteran Stadium in
that era, they did not have the same issue. There's
been no reported brain cancer like the Phillies. So the
theory after this this AstroTurf was test. It's wild theory.
If you didn't hear it's crazy. So they think because
the Phillies played on those hot summer days, yeah, that
(20:26):
the the heat raised the chemicals, activated the chemicals, and
so the baseball players were exposed where the football players
were not. Isn't that wild? That is nuts? So these
guys are out there. It's one hundred degrees. They're playing,
you know, they're playing a game against the Mets. Hundred
(20:47):
and twenty degrees, right, yes, yeah, we all were old.
We remember seeing the shot of the thermometer. Yea and yeah. Yeah.
So the theory is that's why it only affected the
Phillies and it didn't affect the the Eagles. That the
tocsins which laid dormant but were released and became airborne
because of the extreme heat during the summer. Damn, that's
(21:11):
wild man. Sounds like it sounds like a Camp of
June lawsuit. Yeah, yeah, you can sue for anything. But um,
how about the fact they said they cut up the
turf and sent it out to people. So these people's
pretty smart. Actually, well they happened to their homes though. Now, yeah,
that was a wild So that's crazy man. And uh
(21:34):
Ken Brett was an Angel broadcaster years ago. But Darren
dat I remember when I was at the World Series.
The Marlins were in the World Series. He had been
traded late in the year to the Marlins. I still
remember he was like the last guy in the Marlins
locker room when they had won the World Series and
he was like hugging the trophy and all that. So
(21:56):
it's pretty crazy anyway, that's the so I want to
share that with I thought that was a wild tale,
and it appears they have solved the mystery of what happened.
And just talk about bad luck. If you're a football player,
you're not you're not dealing with it, and but if
you're a baseball player, you gotta deal with it. It
is the Ben Mallers Show. As we continue on, and
(22:17):
we will take a phone call or two because it
is a call in show. So who do we have here?
Let's see any meany mighty mo. Pick a caller by
their name. Let's see who should we pick? Uh say
hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello hollering James. Hello,
(22:41):
Ben Mom. I was not friend, It's much more intimidating.
Eddie the Maller Mallard's Mallard's like, I like, you know, yeah,
it was Ben Mauller, I said, Ben Mueller. That's right, Maller.
(23:04):
Like the old picture for the Atlanta Braves back in
the day, there brings at the braves, But do you
know where that they got canceled? The braves got they
were in Milwaukee. They don't know they're in Boston now
they moved back to Boston. I want to go back here.
Wait always good old Bob Lanier who I met the
(23:26):
Rolling Tuesday and then the assautic die. Yes, I was
hoping we would get a Bob Lanier reference and here
we are, right n Yes, Rick Mahorne also, who had
the largest ass in the NBA. That is right. But
anyways that I called and talked a little about Lebron James,
(23:47):
I lean James T shirt. Jersey was his photo wanted.
It's a tun photo like the Bart Simpson when I
have congratulating. Hard to believe you don't attract women with that. Yeah, No,
women love that. There is a certain type of woman.
There's some money for everybody. You know, you should go.
(24:08):
You should go to like an I bet you do
very well at a furry convention. Yeah, I know she's
not She's not one I got. I gotta go. Thank you.
James A big fan, my my buddy, Bob the great
morning man in Kansas City, bub Fessco. He points out
(24:28):
that Dan Quisenberry and and the manager Bob Houser, I
think it was his name, right, Yeah, Dick house, Dick Houser.
They died of brain cancer also. And they had turf
in Kansas City in the nineteen eighties, and you got
a lot of teams. Yeah, well yeah, you gotta think
that the turf. But you know Kansas City, Ye, pirates, right, pirates? Yeah,
(24:53):
all right, you go, man, all that old school AstroTurf
which just looked like carpet, but they made it that's
covered with everyone bust. Did you ever walk on some
of that really really awful astro turf back in the day. No,
I didn't. I've only walked on the newer stuff. I hadn't.
I was at the Aloha Bowl in the eighties. Yeah,
and got to go on the field and yeah, and Hawaii.
(25:15):
I couldn't believe that. That's what it was like. It
was like the like a matt from like you know
that you put in front of your house, you know,
like a doormat. That's what it felt like. I couldn't
believe they played on this stuff. It was crazy. Yeah.
I had been to Aloha Stadium, but by the time
I got there, the NFL part of the deal with
the Pro Bowl, they would buy new turf every every
(25:37):
couple of years for the Pro Bowl, so it was
the newer turf when I was there. But yeah, this
it's pretty crazy. That seems like a big story to me.
I don't know, maybe it's not. But be sure to

zone here am I saying? Back in the day, you
didn't want to know the rookies because you know they're
just gonna get killed off anyway. But for a while

I don't know. She was once married to, Yes, Vladimir Klitchko,
I heard them, but yeah, and also Courtney Cox returns
And it was. It was good. It was very entertaining.
So if you like those slasher movies, I recommend going
and seeing it. And speaking of jennat Ortega, I have
learned that she is in talks to start in Beetle
(31:25):
Juice too, which we're making another Beetle Juice. Yes, and
Michael Keaton is set to early early nineties. I believe
in late eighties. Yeah, I believe eighty eight. That is
late eighties. Young Alec Baldwin was in Beetle Juice, remember
that coup do not? He was Gina Davis's husband. Well, well,
(31:47):
Michael Keaton will be returning when I like. I like
Beetle Juice, but the problem is the graphics are too good.
Like the technology. I think it's too good. It's gonna
make it like part of the beauty of Beetles Juice
was it was kind of cheesy, right, Well, it's I
mean it's it is Tim Burton, uh, you know, doing
this sequel, and he's known for his practical effects. So
(32:07):
I think it'll be I think it'll be good. Correct. Uh.
Jenna Ortega will be playing uh Winona Ryder's daughter, so
all right, yes, Uh. Moving on to television, we have
this no, this show uh came out the I guess.
Season three came out a couple of weeks ago. It's
(32:29):
called Party Down and it was originally on Stars back
in like two thousand and nine. They had a couple
of seasons and then it went away and they brought
it back, you know, like ten years later, and I,
you know, I heard a lot of good things about it,
so I decided to check it out. Loving this show.
It is hilarious, So if you haven't checked it, I
recommend doing that. It is on Hulu. Uh. It was
(32:51):
created by Paul Rudd, Rob Thomas, a couple of other people,
but it stars Adam scott Um and also Lizzie Kaplan
and uh oh, I've seen the billboard for this. Yes,
it's it's really good. And I haven't gotten to the
new season that just came out, but the the original
too fantastic. I am I am cracking up watching that show.
So I'd recommend it party down on Hulu like caterers
(33:14):
or something like struggling actors that are now caterers and
hilarity ensues. It's really good. It's also got that uh
that dorky guy from Freaks and Geeks and that was
later in Silicon Valley. I don't know his name, but
he's he's really funny. And uh we also have on
Sunday the ninety fifth Annual Academy Awards. We got the
(33:37):
Bennies on Sunday. Who Cares about the Academy Awards Sunday
and the money the Bank. I tried to watch All's
Quiet on the Western Front and I got about halfway
through it, and I was like, I am bored. You
got further than I did, Eddie, I got like twenty
minutes into it. Well, glad it wasn't just me. Yeah,
uh so, uh, everything everywhere all at once. I'm pretty
sure that's gonna win Best Picture. It's gonna it's gonna
(34:00):
win a lot of awards, and last but not least,
the return of ted Lasso. Next Next wife loves that show.
It's a fantastic Do you not watch it with her? Ben? No,
I don't. Oh, it's a great show. It's about sports
man Coop as a soccer really sports. Wow, the World Cup,
It's it's only the most popular sport in the world.

Well I'm not in the world, Coop, I'm in my
own world. Well, anyway, this the third and likely final
season premiers Wednesday at the fifteenth on Apple Team. Because
it will not be the final season. If they make money,

(01:05):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show.
We are in the air everywhere at the same time
as we share the word on the street, coast to coast,
porter the border and beyond. On the vast and dashingly
powerful microphones of fs are emanating live from the line.
(01:31):
As we cross the finish line, we are broadcasting live
from the ti iraq dot com studios. Ti iraq dot
com will help you get there in unmatched election, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Ti iraq dot com the way tire buying
should be. So our lead this hour coming from the NFL.
(01:57):
We'll get to a juicy you see rumor that is
bouncing around the overnight hours involving one of the big
stars in sports. Will rehash that for those that are
late to the party, and your eyeballs will pop out
of your heads when you hear this story. We'll get
to that coming up in a few minutes, but I'll
leave this hour coming from the practice field, not a game,
(02:20):
not a game. We talked about practice, not a game,
not a game. Practice. Say what that is? Where the
NFL News of the Day is about to take place
at a undisclosed location in the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area.
It involves o BJ Man about town, Man about town. Now,
(02:45):
if you did not hear and possibly not, Odell Beckham
is going to hold a freehent showcase, the showcase showdown
where oh b J. It's a job audition, dummy run, practice,
a trial. However you want to say it in Arizona.
That's gonna take place later today. Obviously it's not going
(03:06):
on right now. It's very early in the morning. It
would not be going on right now. Beckham is thirteen
months removed from Snapcrackle pop in that Super Bowl, greatest
super Bowl of all time, Rams Bengals Must see TV,
and he tore his acl up in that game at
(03:28):
a big start, that particularly Super Bowl. Not to go
down that rabbit hole again. We know that Beckham did
not play last year despite multiple recruiting efforts by the Cowboys,
who took him to a Mavericks game and the crowd
was chanting his name and that was embarrassing. Buffalo's Vaughan
Miller tried to bring ob J to a New York
(03:52):
and that did not work out, and the Giants were like,
come home, come home, come home. And Beckham did not
go anywhere, did not go anywhere. He didn't play. He
ended up declining to work out for teams, and so
he could not prove whether or not he was healthy
enough because spoiler alert, I'm gonna go out in a
(04:13):
limb here and I'm gonna say, in my opinion, he
was not healthy. Otherwise he would have worked out, but
he did flirt with a bunch of teams and he
got a lot of attention and jackasses like yours truly
did Mallard monologs on that. But according to state sponsored
NFL network, he probed the news service of football, Odell
Beckham is now one hundred percent healthy. WHOA, I know
(04:36):
you're excited about that. Come out. No you're not. So
let's discuss the question what is your level of interest?
And Odell Beckham's workout so on the Mallar scale of
interest one to ten, with ten being you can't turn
it off. You just lock it in and you enjoy
(04:58):
it and you watch it over and over and you
stay tuned. I'm out of three. I'm out of three
on the Mallard scale of interest. I've got Jet LaGG,
chef Boyard, shout out, Marcel, and peanut Brittle and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
(05:20):
going to make a smoothie, a pineapple fruit smoothie, which
our friend Doc Mike likes so much. So to kick
off here, Odell Beckham, I have mixed emotions when it
comes to Odell Beckham, just so we're on the same wavelength. Here.
Odell has been very good for business. I'm in the
conversation business. I come in here. It's a pretty easy job,
(05:43):
you know. You come in they tell you don't pull
any punches. You come in there and you just kind
of react to what's going on in the sports world.
So and every once in a while with backfires and
sometimes it's a little slower than others. But there are
worse problems to have. It's the first world problem when
these things pop up. So I would like to thank
Odell Beckham for his donations to the content on the show.
Over the years, we have gone many nights with Odell
(06:04):
Beckham as the lead story. So he has gone above
and beyond the call of duty. But has it run
its course when in doubt. For a while it was
thrown obj monologue out works every time. But after the
fiasco at the end of twenty twenty two, when Odell Beckham,
(06:26):
in my book, became a hobgoblin, the way that he
kept dancing and flirting with all these teams and then
went home with the the friends. But our position for
now has changed. We are as numb as a little
bug when it comes to this guy and the Beckham rumors,
and so you can mark us down on your little
(06:46):
scorecard as having jetlag, that our body's internal clock is broken.
We have fatigue, we have Beckham fatigue, tiredness. These are
the same symptoms, by the way, that we have been
going through when it comes to Arid Rogers over exposed.
(07:07):
We need some of that ayahuasca that Aaron Rodgers loves
so much. Now. Furthermore, is OBJ a difference maker at
this point? So this is the million dollar question, the
multimillion dollar question. And if he is, then Beckham's on
a winning street. That's the crossword puzzle. It's complicated. It's complicated.
(07:31):
Odell is sitting on an oil reserve if he doesn't
stumble today, And I'll tell you why. The top pass
the top available pass catchers in free agency are generic,
no frills, wide receivers. Jacobe Myers, the law firm from
(07:51):
the Patriots, ju Juice Smith Schuster of Kansas City. Alan
Lazard is also on the market. If you want him,
you can get you can a Lazard. Those guys do
not give you the warm tingly feeling. They don't. They're
baseline players. That's fine, that's great. Juju is very good
at TikTok, congratulations. I don't know anything about Jakobe Myers
(08:14):
because he plays with the Patriots and they're all boring.
And Alan Lazard has a great name, but not a
great game. I know that. But until proven otherwise, O B. J.
Who has the skill set to dominate and be better
than those players, But until otherwise, he is in the
discount in Odell Beckham is the can of beef Arni
(08:36):
Chef Boyard beef Arroni that has a dent in it
and it's marked down because of the dent. Now I
will garruntee you that Odell Beckham does not consider himself
a discount, that he's a value player. He does not.
And he's like, what about the razmataz? What about the marketing?
(08:56):
What about this? What about that? All right? Party? So
who is the favorite? I know you're dying to know
who's the favorite for the services of Odell beck And
the answer is the usual suspects. The needle has not
moved that far the other direction. That Odell Beckham is
(09:17):
not for everybody. He's proven that he can keep his
nose clean and walk the line long enough to win
a Super Bowl? Did it with the Rams? Did it
with the rams. But he's an acquired taste, and he's
got a couple of warning labels right alongside. I've got
a couple of warning labels there as you look around Beckham,
(09:39):
and some people will scream bloody murder when they see those.
One says handle with care and the other says high voltage.
So Beckham is delicate, he is fragile. Since twenty seventeen,
so going back the last five plus years, Odell Beckham
has had a high ankle sprain, an ankle fracture, a
(10:02):
quad bruise, a sports hernia, which sounds not that bad
unless you really look up and google what a sports
hernia is. I learned that lesson. We used to have
a guy that worked here named Brian Cox, who I
did not get along with him, but he was a
linebacker for the Dolphins and a bunch of other teams
in the NFL, and I was doing a show with
him one day and there was a we were doing
(10:22):
a news story about a guy that had a sports hernia,
and Brian told me off the years the way I
had one, and then he described very graphically what that involved.
In the twiggin berries area of the male anatomy and
it was very uncomfortable. It was I still remember it
though all these years later. But wait, there's more. Odell
(10:45):
Beckham's had a lower back injury, He's had another toe sprain,
a shoulder sprain, hip bruise, acl tear twice. In other words,
he is peanut brittle, peanut brittle Beckham. The other warning
is primadonna tendencies. Prima donna tendencies. That's the high voltage.
(11:07):
And Odell while he has won, and so he becomes
the beacon of light because he's got that afterglow. He
is a show pony, stylish, flamboyant and one of the
all time great cons. When he used his father, he
weaponized his old man a social media post to get
him out of Cleveland, the Great Escape from Northern Ohio.
(11:31):
And he went out and he laughed all the way
to the Lamardi troph So back to the question at
hand here, and the question at hand is who's the
favorite for the services of Odell Beckham? And the answer
when I look around the landscape of the NFL, I
have how about them cowboys as the favorite? The glitz,
(11:52):
the glamor, the glitz and glamor there Jerry Jones and
Odell Beckham side by side. You got the scene, your
attention horror and the junior attention hor keeping up with
our Kardashians. It's like that that old Madonna song, Strike
a pose. Everyone, look at us, Look at us. Now
outside of the cowboys, get the giants to the bills.
(12:15):
I gotta think the Patriots will be in on this
because Beckham is a free agent and likely will not
be able to demand top dollar. Now, why Odell Beckham
would want to go play with mac and cheese with
the Patriots is beyond me, but I don't discount that
the Patriots will at least be kicking the tires on
(12:36):
Odell Beckham. All right, and it's the Ben Mallers Show. Now,
the story, which at this point has not blown up,
we'll see together. And we can do this because I'm
doing the overnight show that those those mainstream shows likely
won't touch it because it's a little dicey. We talked
about it back in the B block of hour one,
(12:56):
but we'll bring it back for those of you that
only listen this hour. So there's a a story a
former UFC fighter, Chill Sonnen, is making some accusations against
Lebron James, calling Lebron James a cheater in so many words,
implying that anyway. On a recent podcast interview, the former
UFC fighter, who himself was busted for performance enhancing drugs
(13:21):
when he was part of Dana White's fledgling UFC, Well,
he went on a podcast and claimed Lebron James uses
pe DS. What's his evidence, he said, Well, he was
asked what his evidences he claimed. Chill Sonon claimed that
himself and Lebron share the same drug. Guy Hello, Hello,
(13:46):
smoking gun, smoking gun, smoking gun. DNA evidence if true?
If true? And then he went on his name the
drug that he claimed Lebron used, the actation being made
by the former UFC combative member of the UFC community.
There he said that the drug is EPO And if
(14:11):
you're not familiar with that, I was not. It increases
your red blood cells, according to this cat, and that
gives you endurance. He said, is the most popular performance
and asking drug of today. So if your old school
like me, and you remember the steroids, just the raw
steroids and the other drugs that were used back ten
(14:33):
fifteen years ago, now it's it's EPO. The way to go,
according to this guy. Now, a couple of questions. Number One,
will the mainstream establishment media picked this up. I was
actually texting a couple of friends of mine who are
getting ready for their morning shows, and I was telling
them no, that the media is in bed with the NBA,
(14:58):
and Lebron is the NBA. So I'd be very surprised
if this picks up and people are just gonna dismiss it.
And my producer Coop already did that blaming the messenger
because this guy's a shady guy in the UFC and
all that. So that'll likely be is ow. This guy's nobody.
We're not going to give this guy attention. That'll be
number one. Number two, does Lebron James sue? I would
(15:18):
think that that's lawsuit worthy. You can sue for anything
at any time, but I believe that would be worthy
of a lawsuit. This guy just accused you of doing
pd said that you do the drugs with the same
guy that he used and he's been caught using pds.
It admitted to it. So we'll keep an eye on
that story today see if anything comes to that. It
(15:39):
is the Ben Maller Show as we press on. We're
gonna have the Coop Scoop on entertainment coming up in
a couple of minutes. Also, I did want to mention
one of the great mysteries. It's a really sad story
in Philadelphia, and I believe we have an answer. There's
a number of players for the Phillies that have died
of brain cancer and other forms of cancer, like more
(16:03):
than any other team in a certain period of time.
They think they know the answer now to that what
happened in Philadelphia. We'll get to the bottom of that.
We'll have the Coop Scoop on entertainment. We'll get to
it all, and we will do it next Myles do
best the rest. Thank you, Skeeter. I appreciate that. Skeeter

This weekend is daylight savings time, Saturday into Sunday two
(17:08):
am on Sunday most of the country, not in Arizona
and some few other places, but we spring forward, and
this was supposed to be the last time we do that.
The United States Senate last year they approved a bill
called the Sunshine Protection Act, which would have made this
the last time we ever have to move the clocks
(17:31):
in the United States, but it still has not been
fully signed in the law. The US House of Representatives
has not to take an action on it, neither as
President Fighter. So so it looks like we're still gonna
have to go through this dog and pony show in
(17:52):
November again unless these a holes in Washington get off
their I'm sorry, I have always hated it. It's so pointless,
and it's not because of the farmers. They always say
it's a farmer. The farmers don't care about it Anymore's
ridiculous anyway, It is the Ben Mallis Show. I wanted
to briefly mention this story because it's a story we
(18:13):
followed from a distance over the years out of Philadelphia.
And there have been of a number of people that
played for the Phillies back in the old days that
all died from brain cancer. And that list includes Ken Brett,
George Brett's brother, Tug McGraw, legend, his kid, a country
(18:37):
music star, Johnny Yates who I was. I was around
him when he managed a lot. He was a surly guy,
John Vukovic, and Darren Dalton. All those guys passed away
or died everyone to say from brain cancer from twenty
h four to May of twenty twenty two. Now there
(18:59):
was another former Philly who I remember more as a
met a picture by the name of David West, who
was He's the sixth Philly back in the day to
die from brain cancers. So some investigative reporters in Philadelphia
got on the case and they think they've cracked the
case on why all these guys were dying a brain cancer.
(19:22):
And this is a wild story. So they got a
hold of the astro turf that covered the vet in
Philadelphia in the late seventies and the eighties, and they
were able to track it down and they sent it
to they sent it to some labs, some scientists to
examine the AstroTurf, and they found not one, not two,
(19:44):
not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven,
how about sixteen different forever chemicals that they're called pfas
is what they're called. I'm not a scientist, but they're
they're forever chemicals. And they were trying to figure out,
like why did the Eagle players nobody to minors from
(20:04):
the Philadelphi Eagles who also played at Veteran Stadium in
that era, they did not have the same issue. There's
been no reported brain cancer like the Phillies. So the
theory after this this AstroTurf was test. It's wild theory.
If you didn't hear it's crazy. So they think because
the Phillies played on those hot summer days, yeah, that
(20:26):
the the heat raised the chemicals, activated the chemicals, and
so the baseball players were exposed where the football players
were not. Isn't that wild? That is nuts? So these
guys are out there. It's one hundred degrees. They're playing,
you know, they're playing a game against the Mets. Hundred
(20:47):
and twenty degrees, right, yes, yeah, we all were old.
We remember seeing the shot of the thermometer. Yea and yeah. Yeah.
So the theory is that's why it only affected the
Phillies and it didn't affect the the Eagles. That the
tocsins which laid dormant but were released and became airborne
because of the extreme heat during the summer. Damn, that's
(21:11):
wild man. Sounds like it sounds like a Camp of
June lawsuit. Yeah, yeah, you can sue for anything. But um,
how about the fact they said they cut up the
turf and sent it out to people. So these people's
pretty smart. Actually, well they happened to their homes though. Now, yeah,
that was a wild So that's crazy man. And uh
(21:34):
Ken Brett was an Angel broadcaster years ago. But Darren
dat I remember when I was at the World Series.
The Marlins were in the World Series. He had been
traded late in the year to the Marlins. I still
remember he was like the last guy in the Marlins
locker room when they had won the World Series and
he was like hugging the trophy and all that. So
(21:56):
it's pretty crazy anyway, that's the so I want to
share that with I thought that was a wild tale,
and it appears they have solved the mystery of what happened.
And just talk about bad luck. If you're a football player,
you're not you're not dealing with it, and but if
you're a baseball player, you gotta deal with it. It
is the Ben Mallers Show. As we continue on, and
(22:17):
we will take a phone call or two because it
is a call in show. So who do we have here?
Let's see any meany mighty mo. Pick a caller by
their name. Let's see who should we pick? Uh say
hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello hollering James. Hello,
(22:41):
Ben Mom. I was not friend, It's much more intimidating.
Eddie the Maller Mallard's Mallard's like, I like, you know, yeah,
it was Ben Mauller, I said, Ben Mueller. That's right, Maller.
(23:04):
Like the old picture for the Atlanta Braves back in
the day, there brings at the braves, But do you
know where that they got canceled? The braves got they
were in Milwaukee. They don't know they're in Boston now
they moved back to Boston. I want to go back here.
Wait always good old Bob Lanier who I met the
(23:26):
Rolling Tuesday and then the assautic die. Yes, I was
hoping we would get a Bob Lanier reference and here
we are, right n Yes, Rick Mahorne also, who had
the largest ass in the NBA. That is right. But
anyways that I called and talked a little about Lebron James,
(23:47):
I lean James T shirt. Jersey was his photo wanted.
It's a tun photo like the Bart Simpson when I
have congratulating. Hard to believe you don't attract women with that. Yeah, No,
women love that. There is a certain type of woman.
There's some money for everybody. You know, you should go.
(24:08):
You should go to like an I bet you do
very well at a furry convention. Yeah, I know she's

James A big fan, my my buddy, Bob the great
morning man in Kansas City, bub Fessco. He points out
(24:28):
that Dan Quisenberry and and the manager Bob Houser, I
think it was his name, right, Yeah, Dick house, Dick Houser.
They died of brain cancer also. And they had turf
in Kansas City in the nineteen eighties, and you got
a lot of teams. Yeah, well yeah, you gotta think
that the turf. But you know Kansas City, Ye, pirates, right, pirates? Yeah,
(24:53):
all right, you go, man, all that old school AstroTurf
which just looked like carpet, but they made it that's
covered with everyone bust. Did you ever walk on some
of that really really awful astro turf back in the day. No,
I didn't. I've only walked on the newer stuff. I hadn't.
I was at the Aloha Bowl in the eighties. Yeah,
and got to go on the field and yeah, and Hawaii.
(25:15):
I couldn't believe that. That's what it was like. It
was like the like a matt from like you know
that you put in front of your house, you know,
like a doormat. That's what it felt like. I couldn't
believe they played on this stuff. It was crazy. Yeah.
I had been to Aloha Stadium, but by the time
I got there, the NFL part of the deal with
the Pro Bowl, they would buy new turf every every
(25:37):
couple of years for the Pro Bowl, so it was
the newer turf when I was there. But yeah, this
it's pretty crazy. That seems like a big story to me.
I don't know, maybe it's not. But be sure to

Supposed to have a Player of the day, but there
were no good highlights, so I don't say that. Look
at Eddie throwing the editing staff. Yeah, yeah, I've done
that like once. Ben's done it like five. I respect
the people behind listen, dog, come on, Eddie, I respect me.
(27:23):
I don't know who they are, but I respect. It
was a tin can string sometimes tough love it. Yeah,
we'd like to thank the audio editing department for putting
that together. In a bathroom somewhere you don't have to
(27:44):
pile on Eddie. I mean, I've been here a long time.
I've done it like two times. Okay, come on two times.
Once every ten years. I go on a rant about
how terrible this sound is. But that's it. Other than that,
I'm good. It's hard to keep up with the editing department.
I gotta tell you, Eddie, there's a it's for sure.
I don't I don't know any of them. It's it's
(28:04):
like to me, it's like the soldiers in war. You know,
when you're like the pers veteran and you don't even
want to know the new guys anymore because you know
they're gonna get killed probably. So it's like what militarized
zone here am I saying? Back in the day, you
didn't want to know the rookies because you know they're
just gonna get killed off anyway. But for a while
we had consistency. They were like the same people that
(28:26):
worked in the back. Some got promoted. Yes, yes that
was a producers a vessel to promotion. But now it's
Coop Loop. Coop was on that team team others finished everyding,
Yeah I finished it. Yeah you want to do it again?
From no, We're good? All right? It is the Coop
Coop on Entertainment. It's brought to you by Progressive right
(28:48):
well speaking of that. Let's get over to the Cooper
loop right now and all your Hollywood news or right
for Hollywood, all right for Holly Wood, the Coop Scoop
on entertainment. Justin Coop, all right, thank you Ben, you
have to laugh? Thank you Ben? Wow? You standing behind you?
(29:12):
Or alright? So I'm looking at you, Coop, I'm looking whoa. Uh.
So we're gonna start with the theaters as always out
this weekend is Scream six. No, I don't know we
were on that number? Is that right? Yes? That is
that is correct? Yeah, I saw one that you've only
(29:35):
seen one. YEA quick question, Coop, what movie what? What
movie has had the most sequels? Fast and Furious? Is
it Fast and Furious? I'll go Friday thirteen? I don't know. Um,
that's a good question. The Old Planet of the Apes
movie has had a lot of sequels. Really, yes? Is
(29:57):
it nine? Is it ten? Like once they get at ten,
that's it, right, they don't once once they stopped making money,
that's it. That's oh no, yeah, yeah, Fast and Furious
has this Plan of the Apes Speed by a long shot.
So yeah, I mean, uh, you might be right there
because they're about to do entertainment, Eddie, Do I not
know entertainment? Come on, no, you do not know entertainment?
Screw are you? Now? I'm curious? Why do you have
(30:20):
to do this? Do it for next week? How about that?
Stay focused? Stay focused on the ball coop? Come on,
Oh it's Friday the thirteen. Yes winner, Yeah, I mean
unless you count James Bond, but as a double O
seven yeah anyway, all right, So I already saw Scream
(30:41):
six or earlier today. It was. It was very enjoyable.
I recommended. Jenna Ortega stars in it. She's she's fantastic
leg Yeah, oh my god, Eddy, you're a creepy old man.
Hayden Pantier also is in this and that doesn't know
who that is. I have no idea. I've heard the name.
(31:02):
I don't know. She was once married to, Yes, Vladimir Klitchko,
I heard them, but yeah, and also Courtney Cox returns
And it was. It was good. It was very entertaining.
So if you like those slasher movies, I recommend going
and seeing it. And speaking of jennat Ortega, I have
learned that she is in talks to start in Beetle
(31:25):
Juice too, which we're making another Beetle Juice. Yes, and
Michael Keaton is set to early early nineties. I believe
in late eighties. Yeah, I believe eighty eight. That is
late eighties. Young Alec Baldwin was in Beetle Juice, remember
that coup do not? He was Gina Davis's husband. Well, well,
(31:47):
Michael Keaton will be returning when I like. I like
Beetle Juice, but the problem is the graphics are too good.
Like the technology. I think it's too good. It's gonna
make it like part of the beauty of Beetles Juice
was it was kind of cheesy, right, Well, it's I
mean it's it is Tim Burton, uh, you know, doing
this sequel, and he's known for his practical effects. So
(32:07):
I think it'll be I think it'll be good. Correct. Uh.
Jenna Ortega will be playing uh Winona Ryder's daughter, so
all right, yes, Uh. Moving on to television, we have
this no, this show uh came out the I guess.
Season three came out a couple of weeks ago. It's
(32:29):
called Party Down and it was originally on Stars back
in like two thousand and nine. They had a couple
of seasons and then it went away and they brought
it back, you know, like ten years later, and I,
you know, I heard a lot of good things about it,
so I decided to check it out. Loving this show.
It is hilarious, So if you haven't checked it, I
recommend doing that. It is on Hulu. Uh. It was
(32:51):
created by Paul Rudd, Rob Thomas, a couple of other people,
but it stars Adam scott Um and also Lizzie Kaplan
and uh oh, I've seen the billboard for this. Yes,
it's it's really good. And I haven't gotten to the
new season that just came out, but the the original
too fantastic. I am I am cracking up watching that show.
So I'd recommend it party down on Hulu like caterers
(33:14):
or something like struggling actors that are now caterers and
hilarity ensues. It's really good. It's also got that uh
that dorky guy from Freaks and Geeks and that was
later in Silicon Valley. I don't know his name, but
he's he's really funny. And uh we also have on
Sunday the ninety fifth Annual Academy Awards. We got the
(33:37):
Bennies on Sunday. Who Cares about the Academy Awards Sunday
and the money the Bank. I tried to watch All's
Quiet on the Western Front and I got about halfway
through it, and I was like, I am bored. You
got further than I did, Eddie, I got like twenty
minutes into it. Well, glad it wasn't just me. Yeah,
uh so, uh, everything everywhere all at once. I'm pretty
sure that's gonna win Best Picture. It's gonna it's gonna
(34:00):
win a lot of awards, and last but not least,
the return of ted Lasso. Next Next wife loves that show.
It's a fantastic Do you not watch it with her? Ben? No,
I don't. Oh, it's a great show. It's about sports
man Coop as a soccer really sports. Wow, the World Cup,
It's it's only the most popular sport in the world.
(34:21):
Well I'm not in the world, Coop, I'm in my
own world. Well, anyway, this the third and likely final
season premiers Wednesday at the fifteenth on Apple Team. Because
it will not be the final season. If they make money,
I never know. And that is Coop Scoop on entertainment.
