Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number one.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Of the Ben Mahlor Show podcast from where brand Spanking
News Studios. Very smooth, no problems at all. It was
a very smooth opening night. Wait until you hear this.
But the NBA Playoffs continuing as our lead this hour,
the Clippers lose in five games to the Sun, so
their season is over. That is our lead story here.
(00:25):
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George played as many minutes in
Game five as I did and as you did, and
so we'll discuss this. Does this series loss make you
reassess the Clippers direction? What needs to change now? For
Steve Balmer unsolicited advice from the Malard think tank, and
Paul George has advocated for Russell Westbrook's return to the
(00:49):
Clippers in free agency? Do you support that? We'll talk
all things Clippers and also point out that despite the
Sun's winning in five games, they were not all that
in impressive. We'll get to all that and more right
now in our number one. Hello and welcome, it's our
number two and an interesting NFL draft store. The draft
(01:15):
is coming up tomorrow. Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is not
expected to be drafted at the very top, but the
odds have changed dramatically on him being the number one
or number two pick in the twenty twenty three draft.
We're gonna play the game green light, yellow light or
red light on that. Do you believe the line was
(01:35):
adjusted because of an Internet rumor? And is there a
big difference between Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud and Will Levis.
We'll talk about all that and more. And as a
gift to you, caller free radio here it is our
number two call him Will the Thrill if you.
Speaker 1 (01:56):

Balor Show.

NFL Draft.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
One of the main reasons.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
That we are in the new studio, which does not
impact you in anyway other than tonight, but we'll work
out the gremlins. But one of the main reasons we're
in the new studio is because our draft coverage is tomorrow, Tomorrow, tomorrow,
and it's a big deal, a big night, one of
the biggest nights in our sports radio world. Here the
(03:19):
twenty twenty three Draft, and Jay Glazer will be in
here and a bunch of other big wigs and big
shots and all that, and they will have draft coverage
from the studio, and we are heading into the.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Final day before the day the twenty twenty three version
of the.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Job fair, that is the draft from Kansas City where
the draft picks beating the Ben mallor chicken fingers. They'll
be eating those in the greater Kansas City area. Over
in Liberty, Missouri. I'll be doing that and they'll be
having a grand all time. Now, a surprising name the
story that's gotten my attention, A surprising name involving the
(03:58):
NFL Draft has That's a name we've talked about randomly
on the show.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But it's got a little more gusto to it now
and it's picked up some excitement as we head into
the day before the day of the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You didn't see this if you haven't been listening, maybe
you've been unplugged from the situation.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But I missed it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So Bryce Young is still the betting favorite if you
look at the gambling market, to be the first overall pick,
number one overall in the draft. But that's not the story.
The story is the odds have changed dramatically for another quarterback.
That would be the kid out of Kentucky formerly at
(04:47):
Penn State, Will Levis. Yeah, Will Levis going up, up
and away in terms of the gambling market.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Lewis who most experts if you believe, you read all these.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Draft publications and I get sent a lot of emails
and people say, hey, let me read my draft guide.
I'm like, okay, I'll read it. It's make believe. Why not,
It's like going to Disney. So I read it, and
most think that Will Levis, if you read the draft guides,
most likely the fourth rank quarterback out of the Big four,
(05:22):
like the Big four in this draft, he's number four
on the list based on all the variables and all that,
and so you read that and then you're like, what happened, Well,
what happened is he is now the front runner.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
He is currently at the very top.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He's the front runner to go off the board with
the second pick on tomorrow's draft. That's according to the
latest gambling odds which are out there and many sports
books that were loyal to DraftKings here. But to give
me an idea what we're looking at now, Will Levis
was priced slightly ahead of edge rusher Tyree Wilson, who
(06:01):
you don't.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Follow Texas Tech football, Bad job by you?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And Alabama star Will Anderson also on that in Ohio
State quarterback CJ. Stroud are the only other players that
had shorter.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Than nine to one odds. So let us discuss the
question on this one.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Kentucky quarterback Will Levis entering the NFL job market the
idea that he would be the number one overall pick
in the twenty twenty three draft. You get a green light,
a red light, or a yellow light. Green light, red
light or yellow light. So I am going to go
mellow yellow is what I'm going to do. I'm going
(06:40):
to put the caution light on yellow light, mellow yellow
is where I'm going. So I've got Netflix, Sopranos, and
Fetichini Alfredo, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make wonderful conditioning, which
(07:00):
we have in the new studio.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's amazing air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So the first thought I have number all right, So
Will Levis is riding the tide. The man is riding
the tide here it's going in his direction right now.
This is a fascinating story, something that could not have happened.
Up until just a few years ago. Something like this
(07:25):
would not take place. But here we are and now
it is going on. So we would advise you to
take this with a grain of salt. As we say,
the offshore books are very reactionary, and that's what's going.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
On with this Will Levis story. If you've not been
following along.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's all about liability any of these gambling operations. And
I'm a gambler, but we know how it works, and
so they're all about protecting themselves. In theory, the way
the gambling world works is you have even money on
a bed, it doesn't matter who wins that particular bet
because you've got equal money on both sides, so you're
(08:05):
guaranteed a small profit. But betting NFL picks, I don't
know how many people are betting big.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Money on the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But it's kind of like a Netflix show and the
floor is lava, right, you know, it's a balancing act.
It is absolutely a balancing act. You don't want to
hit the wrong spot or the game ends and you're done.
And Will Levis is a strange a cat. He is
a strange cat. Now.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I know.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
The scouts are salivating over his size and they're they're all, oh,
he's look at the size.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
He's so amazing and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
He's prototypical supposedly whatever that means, six four and thirty pounds, and.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
He's got a rocket launcher, he's got a cannon.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
As an arm and all that. He's bounced around. He
played high school football in Connecticut. He went to Penn
State and then eventually land at that football powerhouse Kentucky.
You think a great college football, you think Kentucky and
John Calipari. That is a Oh he's the basketball coach,
that's right, he's not the football coach anyway. Get to
(09:12):
the point please. He's one of the unique characters. Will
Levis in college football entering the draft, and on this show,
we pull, we pull for guys like that. He's a
bit kooky, which is good for our business. He's got
a very bright future as someone who can date the
tiquita banana lady and also sell you Hellman's mayonnaise. He
(09:35):
can get your mayonnaise and bananas. He's unorthodox. We talked
about this in the previous episode of the show. But
Will Levis is a guy who famously does. He's not
a traditionalist. He's not a purist. When it comes to
eating bananas. He will just eat the banana with the
skin on it, which is disgusting, but he will do that.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
And also he's a coffee drinker.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I don't drink coffee, but a lot of people like
milk with their coffee or this other cream.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But he just puts mayonnaise in there. If he doesn't
have any of those things.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
But if you look at him from just a football perspective, right,
if you just look at him from a football perspective, here,
there's nothing that would lead you to believe he will
be drafted as the first or even the second quarterback
based on he had twenty three interceptions over the last
two years of Kentucky. And if you read these different
scouting reports, and why not. I have access to them,
(10:24):
so I read them, and the scouting reports are all
pretty much the same. They say that this guy has
no pocket presence that we often I've ripped Sean Watson,
the creepy quarterback before he became the creepy quarterback. I
ripped him because he is internal clocks a little messed up.
We talked about in the past, Dakota Prescott, And from
the scouting report, it would appear that this guy's got
(10:46):
the same stuff going on, and he's got his internal
clocks a little messed up, which is the problem. The
olds the ball for too long and that causes a
lot of mistakes, a lot of mistakes. All right, now,
Page two here is ain't Troe? Is it true that
Will Levis shifted the odds shifted because of an Internet rumor?
(11:07):
Is it also true that the rumor was randomly posted
on a little red Reddit page.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
That's the scuttle, but that's the working theory. In fact,
one of the gambling houses confirmed as much. Said it
was not bogus, that this is exactly what happened. That
some random Mama Luke, no different than you or me,
just a regular human being who had access to Reddit,
was on there and they posted something that indicated that
(11:36):
they had inside information and the floodgates opened up. The
flag is up, and we are off to the races, right,
And this thing went viral and it's like a soprano
special bat a ban bought a boom, if you will,
and it became a trending post on that website Reddit,
(11:57):
which we have a Mather Show reddit on which we
need to update from time to time. But there are
some fans that take care of the kind of baby
that that reddit page. But anyway, so this user alleged
that Will Levis is telling friends and family, always important
friends and family, that the Panthers are gonna pick him
with the number one overall.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Pick on Thursday night. And that is all it took.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That is all it took for the odds to shift
from plus four thousand to plus four hundred within hours.
It's unclear who the reddited account belongs to. We don't
know and we might never find out. Could it be
I don't know the agent for Will Levis. Could it
be somebody working for the agent? Boy, If you're an agent,
(12:45):
that is the way to go here, Oh man. All
you have to do is post something randomly blindly on
Reddit and the odds shift in your client's direction. And
you know this is being talked about in NFL draft rooms.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Like, what's going on? You think there's anything going on
with that? What's going on with that?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And so it's pretty crazy if it's a soprano special
about a bing Bata boom, as we said, and we'll
keep an eye on this. But the line was eventually
taken down by some of the sports books. So they
took the line down on the draft for Levis and
after being pulled. For example, we used DraftKings on this show.
DraftKings reopened the betting with Young at minus sixteen hundred
(13:29):
and Will Levis at plus seven hundred and Levis was
originally plus five thousand on DraftKings the day before. All right,
final points, So is there a big difference you look
at these quarterbacks. We'll talk more about the quarterbacks as
we go forward here. Why not, It's all we pretty
much talk about when you come to the NFL's coaches
(13:49):
and quarterbacks. But is there a big difference between Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud,
and Will Levis the top three? And so I am
I'm sure shaking my head. No, there is not a
big difference here. And this is when you look at
these courses. I've read the scouting reports on him, and
it's like throwing fetichini alfredo in a nice pesto sauce
(14:12):
and then throwing it against the wall.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Okay, and you.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Know, seeing what sticks, seeing what's just strands of the
fetti chini alfredo stick to the wall. It's all about
shapes and sizes. You learn this in kindergarten. But Bryce
Young is the runt of the litter. He's the fun
sized quarterback in the draft five eleven and he's less
than two hundred pounds allegedly, maybe even shorter than five eleven.
(14:38):
So it's a small world, after all, it's a small
small world if you are going to draft that cat.
Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud, and Will Levis are more on
brand with the measurables if you're into that kind of thing.
Stroud is six three, two fifteen, not a running quarterback
at all. Very accurate and was a good decision. Maker
(15:02):
at the Ohio State University. But that is the stigma,
and that is the stigma with Young, with Bryce Young
and CJ.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Stroud.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It's the same argument we have year after year, these
quarterbacks that go to these power schools like Alabama and
Ohio State. Can they succeed when they are not surrounded
by better athletes all over the field? Is it possible
to have amazing success? They played for clearing house schools
and how will they do when not surrounded by elite talent?
(15:32):
You don't know what you don't know? And the fail
rate and I measure we'll get into this because it
comes up every year. Why would we be different? But
the fail rate of first round quarterbacks is much worse,
much worse than many people realize. It is the Benmahlers
(15:53):
Show and a gift from the company we have decided
call her free radio. You're not excited about that. No,
we're not taking calls. Even if we wanted to take calls.
We couldn't take calls.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
That's all right.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And I told, you know, one of the big bosses
here text me and he said, you know, I'm sorry
about that, Yes you apologize, which I thought was a
very classic I don't. Most bosses don't apologize. And I said,
don't worry the gremlins attack. I know all about the gremlins.
I know all about the gremlins attacking. So I'm not
worried about that. But we will not take your calls.
But we are reading a lot of random messages from
(16:33):
strangers on Twitter. So if you're on that particular website,
if you're an active user, or even if you're not
an active user, and you want to have your voice heard,
you can send us a message. Just follow me on
Twitter at Ben Malor. That's at Ben Malor, and you
can be part of the program. And boys, that exciting
and it's gonna be very interesting to see how we
(16:55):
have too much or not enough or password the word
Game of the Stars. I think that'll be a little
different cool the play uh this week. So saying goodbye
is hard to do. Saying goodbye is hard to do.
We will get to that. And a Sophie's choice situation.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
We'll get to that as well, and we will do
it next.

We began this hour ranting about Will Levis, who he's
a Kentucky quarterback, and things went all wonkee all because
of a random Reddit post who goofed.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I've got to know.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Now, it would be amazing if that was actually legit

Yeah, there was a big The company had had a
Disney Night last night. I heard. I didn't I didn't

Speaker 6 (20:05):
I heard after the fact.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Two nights ago.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
It was two nights ago. I don't know it was

He's all confused he's on all these shiny buttons.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I know, I don't blame what's it like, bur that's
a that's a legitimate engineering equipment over there.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
It's nice, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
So Andy, are you taking off for the draft?
Speaker 6 (20:26):
No? No, well, missus Garcia had knee replacement surgery not
that long ago. She's finally starting to get over the
hump here and and and on the road to recovery.
But her kind of being out and about and standing
around a lot and whatnot, she decided not to go.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
So oh, okay, well you could go and represent the family,
you could go to the draft thing.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
And no, you're okay with it? All right, very good
on that.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Just Josh in Cincinnati writes, and he says, you should
be calling the new digs the in and out studio

he says, is Lizzo blocking satellite coverage?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Again? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I am hearing some weird audio in the background of
my headphones, but I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I don't know if anyone else can hear that. I
don't know. It sounds like there's a.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
It's funny you say that, because yeah, you're hearing the
same thing. You You sound great to me, very kind,
thank you. But I don't sound very good to me
in my headphones. But I asked Roberto if I sound okay,
and he says, yeah, I sound, you know, sound good?
Speaker 6 (21:27):
You know, are you serious?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah? You know? You know they sound the mic sounds
a little.

Yeah, your microphone is a little well, you told me
a minute ago, Roberto, it sounded fine.

fact is from the world of baseball and my entire life.
The Saint Louis Cardinals have always had pretty good teams.
Right now that is not the case. The Cardinals are
(27:50):
nine and fifteen. They played twenty four games so far
in the twenty twenty three regular season. They're nine and fifteen.
This is the worst start for a single Louis Cardinal
team since nineteen seventy three, the last time the Cardinals
were worse than they are this year. Holy Whitey Herzog Batman,
(28:11):
where have you gone? Tommy hur and Willie McGee. That's
what you call the cardinalway. That's the cardinalway right there,
and man alive. Joe Tory was playing for the Cardinals
the last time. Oh my lord, yeah, yeah, that was
he was playing for the Cardinal.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yes, he was playing for the Cardinals a lot of
base It was number number nine. I think it was
third basement for the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Are think you have a fire sale, that we have
a Cardinals unloading Nolan Aeronado's big contract and some of
those other guys that are making a lot of money
in Saint Louis. Stay tuned dot dot dot dot dot.

that saying goodbye is hard to do and Aaron Rodgers
(30:19):
saying bye bye to his old friends at lombeau Field.
And what do you do when you want to say goodbye?
You've been traded and relax, You relax and you go
on social media and you write a hokey message on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
And that is exactly what Aaron Rodgers did.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
He wrote a lengthy message said, among other things, I
won't read the whole thing, because why would I? He said,
I am not sure it's possible to fully express the
gratitude that I have to the packers or incredible fans.
Are incredible fans, he said, the state of Wisconsin, the
thousands of players that I crossed paths with, it's a
real sobstry, incredible men and women who work for the organization,
(31:03):
the amazing people who I got to meet along the way.
In one post with ten pictures, But I hope you
read this and feel my heart and soul filled with love,
joy peace about my time in the Green and Gold.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
And may cheese Kurds live forever. No, he didn't. I
added that bo cheese Kurts are good though, now our
Minnesota cheese curds as good as Wisconsin cheese kurts. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I'm gonna find out though, because I'll be in Minnesota
on May twentieth. I'm looking forward to that. We'll find out.
But Aaron Rodgers the long goodbye. Now, I'd like to
know what Aaron really thinks about Mike Goodenkunz, the GM there.
I'd like to know what he thinks about him. I'd
also like to know what he thinks about the head coach,
because you're getting the public statement, all that public information
(31:55):
out there, but what about the private Aaron Rodgers methinks it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It's a much different reaction from Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
At this point. But anyway, he's going to go play
for the Jets. And I saw Joe Douglas was all excited.
He was all horning to get Aaron Rodgers in there.
He said it was a historic who that's the GA.
You know who, Joe Douglas. That's a GM of the Jets.
He's a fat guy, Joe Douglas, he's the GM there,
and he said it was historic. He was talking about
(32:23):
to the media about the draft and all that stuff.
So he's all fired up, and did you expect him
not to be fired up? No, Now, the guy that's
going to be in here, and he's at least an
employee of one day for the company, the GM formally
of the Cardinals, that would be none other than Steve Khime,
who's going to be part of our draft coverage. And
(32:46):
he said that drafting Nick Bosa over Kyler Murray would
have gotten him fired, is what he said.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And my rebuttal to that, and I've never met them, man,
but my rebuttal of that.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Is you ended up getting fired anyway because of Kyler Murray,
because Kyler Murray doesn't listen, because Kyler Murray does.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
His own thing.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
He's more interested in being a video game MVP than
the NFL MVP.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
So that was a sophie's choice.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Whoever you picked would have been someone that ended up
getting you fired, right, You would have ended up losing
your job. And so he said, well, I would have
lost my job if I had picked the other guy.
The problem is the other guy, Nick Bosa, is better
than Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
You'd rather have Nick.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Bosa on your defense than you would Kyler Murray is
your quarterback. That's a fact. Here's the Ben Maller Show,
and we'll have the Insta trivia. The Insta trivia. We'll
get to that right now, and you can answer this
on Twitter at Ben Maler. That's at Ben Maller. And

the answer trivia.

Blank was the first quarterback to wear number eight for
the Jets.
Speaker 1 (34:07):

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Aaron Rodgers is expected to wear number eight in New
York for the twenty twenty three season. Blank was the
first quarterback to wear number eight in Jets history.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Page down? Page down? I can't read that on the
air all right, Eddie. Do you have an answer? Eddie,
you have an answer?
Speaker 6 (37:10):
I'd like to think I'm pretty good at Jersey numbers.
I'm gonna be a little upset with myself. I don't
get this right. Is it Browning Nagel.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
You're going with Browning Nagel? Is your answer?
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Is that your final answer, Eddie? Final answer, Eddie, you
gotta right, Browning Nagel.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
The only reason, the only reason I did that question
was to say the name Browning Nagel on the raid.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
There's no other reason.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
He is the greatest Browning that is ever played football.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
I thought he was a Brownie when he was playing.
But we're old, we know who that is.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
But he played for the Jets from nineteen ninety one
to nineteen ninety three. He was a second round pick
out of Louisville, Louisville, there you go, Louisville and did
not quite work out for Browning Nagel in the NFL.
But another one of these guys that the Jets fans
thought that was the guy right, he was gonna be
great and all that, and didn't quite work out.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
Rogers going back to the little college number, huh.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah, he's going back to his number of Cal. And
here's another fun fact about Aaron Rodgers. When Rogers was
a COL, I did a show on the weekends with
Chris Landry, remember Chris Landry, the football scout, good guy,
good talker, and he we we had Aaron Rodgers on
I think two or three times when his last year
at CAL. But it was only because we were on
(38:28):
the air when the Cow games were ending.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
It.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
We were on the here on like four o'clock on
the West coast and that's when Cal would would they
would We had uh because he knew he.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Knew somebody a cow. We had him.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
And we had Urban Meyer was the coach at Utah
at the time before he became the notorious Urban Meyers.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
So random fun facts you would not get on a
normal ner Byeer tire
Hello and welcome. It's our number one.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Of the Ben Mahlor Show podcast from where brand Spanking
News Studios. Very smooth, no problems at all. It was
a very smooth opening night. Wait until you hear this.
But the NBA Playoffs continuing as our lead this hour,
the Clippers lose in five games to the Sun, so
their season is over. That is our lead story here.
(00:25):
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George played as many minutes in
Game five as I did and as you did, and
so we'll discuss this. Does this series loss make you
reassess the Clippers direction? What needs to change now? For
Steve Balmer unsolicited advice from the Malard think tank, and
Paul George has advocated for Russell Westbrook's return to the
(00:49):
Clippers in free agency? Do you support that? We'll talk
all things Clippers and also point out that despite the
Sun's winning in five games, they were not all that
in impressive. We'll get to all that and more right
now in our number one. Hello and welcome, it's our
number two and an interesting NFL draft store. The draft
(01:15):
is coming up tomorrow. Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is not
expected to be drafted at the very top, but the
odds have changed dramatically on him being the number one
or number two pick in the twenty twenty three draft.
We're gonna play the game green light, yellow light or
red light on that. Do you believe the line was
(01:35):
adjusted because of an Internet rumor? And is there a
big difference between Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud and Will Levis.
We'll talk about all that and more. And as a
gift to you, caller free radio here it is our
number two call him Will the Thrill if you.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Will quite a thrill this week.
Speaker 2 (01:58):

NFL Draft.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
One of the main reasons.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
That we are in the new studio, which does not
impact you in anyway other than tonight, but we'll work
out the gremlins. But one of the main reasons we're
in the new studio is because our draft coverage is tomorrow, Tomorrow, tomorrow,
and it's a big deal, a big night, one of
the biggest nights in our sports radio world. Here the
(03:19):
twenty twenty three Draft, and Jay Glazer will be in
here and a bunch of other big wigs and big
shots and all that, and they will have draft coverage
from the studio, and we are heading into the.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Final day before the day the twenty twenty three version
of the.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Job fair, that is the draft from Kansas City where
the draft picks beating the Ben mallor chicken fingers. They'll
be eating those in the greater Kansas City area. Over
in Liberty, Missouri. I'll be doing that and they'll be
having a grand all time. Now, a surprising name the
story that's gotten my attention, A surprising name involving the
(03:58):
NFL Draft has That's a name we've talked about randomly
on the show.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But it's got a little more gusto to it now
and it's picked up some excitement as we head into
the day before the day of the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You didn't see this if you haven't been listening, maybe
you've been unplugged from the situation.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But I missed it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So Bryce Young is still the betting favorite if you
look at the gambling market, to be the first overall pick,
number one overall in the draft. But that's not the story.
The story is the odds have changed dramatically for another quarterback.
That would be the kid out of Kentucky formerly at
(04:47):
Penn State, Will Levis. Yeah, Will Levis going up, up
and away in terms of the gambling market.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Lewis who most experts if you believe, you read all these.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Draft publications and I get sent a lot of emails
and people say, hey, let me read my draft guide.
I'm like, okay, I'll read it. It's make believe. Why not,
It's like going to Disney. So I read it, and
most think that Will Levis, if you read the draft guides,
most likely the fourth rank quarterback out of the Big four,
(05:22):
like the Big four in this draft, he's number four
on the list based on all the variables and all that,
and so you read that and then you're like, what happened, Well,
what happened is he is now the front runner.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
He is currently at the very top.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He's the front runner to go off the board with
the second pick on tomorrow's draft. That's according to the
latest gambling odds which are out there and many sports
books that were loyal to DraftKings here. But to give
me an idea what we're looking at now, Will Levis
was priced slightly ahead of edge rusher Tyree Wilson, who
(06:01):
you don't.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Follow Texas Tech football, Bad job by you?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And Alabama star Will Anderson also on that in Ohio
State quarterback CJ. Stroud are the only other players that
had shorter.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Than nine to one odds. So let us discuss the
question on this one.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Kentucky quarterback Will Levis entering the NFL job market the
idea that he would be the number one overall pick
in the twenty twenty three draft. You get a green light,
a red light, or a yellow light. Green light, red
light or yellow light. So I am going to go
mellow yellow is what I'm going to do. I'm going
(06:40):
to put the caution light on yellow light, mellow yellow
is where I'm going. So I've got Netflix, Sopranos, and
Fetichini Alfredo, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make wonderful conditioning, which
(07:00):
we have in the new studio.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's amazing air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So the first thought I have number all right, So
Will Levis is riding the tide. The man is riding
the tide here it's going in his direction right now.
This is a fascinating story, something that could not have happened.
Up until just a few years ago. Something like this
(07:25):
would not take place. But here we are and now
it is going on. So we would advise you to
take this with a grain of salt. As we say,
the offshore books are very reactionary, and that's what's going.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
On with this Will Levis story. If you've not been
following along.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's all about liability any of these gambling operations. And
I'm a gambler, but we know how it works, and
so they're all about protecting themselves. In theory, the way
the gambling world works is you have even money on
a bed, it doesn't matter who wins that particular bet
because you've got equal money on both sides, so you're
(08:05):
guaranteed a small profit. But betting NFL picks, I don't
know how many people are betting big.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Money on the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But it's kind of like a Netflix show and the
floor is lava, right, you know, it's a balancing act.
It is absolutely a balancing act. You don't want to
hit the wrong spot or the game ends and you're done.
And Will Levis is a strange a cat. He is
a strange cat. Now.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I know.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
The scouts are salivating over his size and they're they're all, oh,
he's look at the size.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
He's so amazing and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
He's prototypical supposedly whatever that means, six four and thirty pounds, and.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
He's got a rocket launcher, he's got a cannon.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
As an arm and all that. He's bounced around. He
played high school football in Connecticut. He went to Penn
State and then eventually land at that football powerhouse Kentucky.
You think a great college football, you think Kentucky and
John Calipari. That is a Oh he's the basketball coach,
that's right, he's not the football coach anyway. Get to
(09:12):
the point please. He's one of the unique characters. Will
Levis in college football entering the draft, and on this show,
we pull, we pull for guys like that. He's a
bit kooky, which is good for our business. He's got
a very bright future as someone who can date the
tiquita banana lady and also sell you Hellman's mayonnaise. He
(09:35):
can get your mayonnaise and bananas. He's unorthodox. We talked
about this in the previous episode of the show. But
Will Levis is a guy who famously does. He's not
a traditionalist. He's not a purist. When it comes to
eating bananas. He will just eat the banana with the
skin on it, which is disgusting, but he will do that.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
And also he's a coffee drinker.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I don't drink coffee, but a lot of people like
milk with their coffee or this other cream.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But he just puts mayonnaise in there. If he doesn't
have any of those things.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
But if you look at him from just a football perspective, right,
if you just look at him from a football perspective, here,
there's nothing that would lead you to believe he will
be drafted as the first or even the second quarterback
based on he had twenty three interceptions over the last
two years of Kentucky. And if you read these different
scouting reports, and why not. I have access to them,
(10:24):
so I read them, and the scouting reports are all
pretty much the same. They say that this guy has
no pocket presence that we often I've ripped Sean Watson,
the creepy quarterback before he became the creepy quarterback. I
ripped him because he is internal clocks a little messed up.
We talked about in the past, Dakota Prescott, And from
the scouting report, it would appear that this guy's got
(10:46):
the same stuff going on, and he's got his internal
clocks a little messed up, which is the problem. The
olds the ball for too long and that causes a
lot of mistakes, a lot of mistakes. All right, now,
Page two here is ain't Troe? Is it true that
Will Levis shifted the odds shifted because of an Internet rumor?
(11:07):
Is it also true that the rumor was randomly posted
on a little red Reddit page.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
That's the scuttle, but that's the working theory. In fact,
one of the gambling houses confirmed as much. Said it
was not bogus, that this is exactly what happened. That
some random Mama Luke, no different than you or me,
just a regular human being who had access to Reddit,
was on there and they posted something that indicated that
(11:36):
they had inside information and the floodgates opened up. The
flag is up, and we are off to the races, right,
And this thing went viral and it's like a soprano
special bat a ban bought a boom, if you will,
and it became a trending post on that website Reddit,
(11:57):
which we have a Mather Show reddit on which we
need to update from time to time. But there are
some fans that take care of the kind of baby
that that reddit page. But anyway, so this user alleged
that Will Levis is telling friends and family, always important
friends and family, that the Panthers are gonna pick him
with the number one overall.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Pick on Thursday night. And that is all it took.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That is all it took for the odds to shift
from plus four thousand to plus four hundred within hours.
It's unclear who the reddited account belongs to. We don't
know and we might never find out. Could it be
I don't know the agent for Will Levis. Could it
be somebody working for the agent? Boy, If you're an agent,
(12:45):
that is the way to go here, Oh man. All
you have to do is post something randomly blindly on
Reddit and the odds shift in your client's direction. And
you know this is being talked about in NFL draft rooms.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Like, what's going on? You think there's anything going on
with that? What's going on with that?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And so it's pretty crazy if it's a soprano special
about a bing Bata boom, as we said, and we'll
keep an eye on this. But the line was eventually
taken down by some of the sports books. So they
took the line down on the draft for Levis and
after being pulled. For example, we used DraftKings on this show.
DraftKings reopened the betting with Young at minus sixteen hundred
(13:29):
and Will Levis at plus seven hundred and Levis was
originally plus five thousand on DraftKings the day before. All right,
final points, So is there a big difference you look
at these quarterbacks. We'll talk more about the quarterbacks as
we go forward here. Why not, It's all we pretty
much talk about when you come to the NFL's coaches
(13:49):
and quarterbacks. But is there a big difference between Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud,
and Will Levis the top three? And so I am
I'm sure shaking my head. No, there is not a
big difference here. And this is when you look at
these courses. I've read the scouting reports on him, and
it's like throwing fetichini alfredo in a nice pesto sauce
(14:12):
and then throwing it against the wall.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Okay, and you.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Know, seeing what sticks, seeing what's just strands of the
fetti chini alfredo stick to the wall. It's all about
shapes and sizes. You learn this in kindergarten. But Bryce
Young is the runt of the litter. He's the fun
sized quarterback in the draft five eleven and he's less
than two hundred pounds allegedly, maybe even shorter than five eleven.
(14:38):
So it's a small world, after all, it's a small
small world if you are going to draft that cat.
Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud, and Will Levis are more on
brand with the measurables if you're into that kind of thing.
Stroud is six three, two fifteen, not a running quarterback
at all. Very accurate and was a good decision. Maker
(15:02):
at the Ohio State University. But that is the stigma,
and that is the stigma with Young, with Bryce Young
and CJ.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Stroud.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It's the same argument we have year after year, these
quarterbacks that go to these power schools like Alabama and
Ohio State. Can they succeed when they are not surrounded
by better athletes all over the field? Is it possible
to have amazing success? They played for clearing house schools
and how will they do when not surrounded by elite talent?
(15:32):
You don't know what you don't know? And the fail
rate and I measure we'll get into this because it
comes up every year. Why would we be different? But
the fail rate of first round quarterbacks is much worse,
much worse than many people realize. It is the Benmahlers
(15:53):
Show and a gift from the company we have decided
call her free radio. You're not excited about that. No,
we're not taking calls. Even if we wanted to take calls.
We couldn't take calls.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
That's all right.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And I told, you know, one of the big bosses
here text me and he said, you know, I'm sorry
about that, Yes you apologize, which I thought was a
very classic I don't. Most bosses don't apologize. And I said,
don't worry the gremlins attack. I know all about the gremlins.
I know all about the gremlins attacking. So I'm not
worried about that. But we will not take your calls.
But we are reading a lot of random messages from
(16:33):
strangers on Twitter. So if you're on that particular website,

Game of the Stars. I think that'll be a little
different cool the play uh this week. So saying goodbye
is hard to do. Saying goodbye is hard to do.
We will get to that. And a Sophie's choice situation.

a Kentucky quarterback, and things went all wonkee all because
of a random Reddit post who goofed.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I've got to know.

Speaker 4 (20:23):

Speaker 1 (20:24):
So Andy, are you taking off for the draft?
Speaker 6 (20:26):
No? No, well, missus Garcia had knee replacement surgery not
that long ago. She's finally starting to get over the
hump here and and and on the road to recovery.
But her kind of being out and about and standing
around a lot and whatnot, she decided not to go.

The Saint Louis Cardinals have always had pretty good teams.
Right now that is not the case. The Cardinals are
(27:50):
nine and fifteen. They played twenty four games so far
in the twenty twenty three regular season. They're nine and fifteen.
This is the worst start for a single Louis Cardinal
team since nineteen seventy three, the last time the Cardinals
were worse than they are this year. Holy Whitey Herzog Batman,

what you call the cardinalway. That's the cardinalway right there,

base It was number number nine. I think it was
third basement for the Cardinals.

that saying goodbye is hard to do and Aaron Rodgers
(30:19):
saying bye bye to his old friends at lombeau Field.
And what do you do when you want to say goodbye?
You've been traded and relax, You relax and you go
on social media and you write a hokey message on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
And that is exactly what Aaron Rodgers did.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
He wrote a lengthy message said, among other things, I
won't read the whole thing, because why would I? He said,
I am not sure it's possible to fully express the
gratitude that I have to the packers or incredible fans.
Are incredible fans, he said, the state of Wisconsin, the
thousands of players that I crossed paths with, it's a
real sobstry, incredible men and women who work for the organization,
(31:03):
the amazing people who I got to meet along the way.
In one post with ten pictures, But I hope you
read this and feel my heart and soul filled with love,
joy peace about my time in the Green and Gold.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
And may cheese Kurds live forever. No, he didn't. I
added that bo cheese Kurts are good though, now our
Minnesota cheese curds as good as Wisconsin cheese kurts. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I'm gonna find out though, because I'll be in Minnesota
on May twentieth. I'm looking forward to that. We'll find out.
But Aaron Rodgers the long goodbye. Now, I'd like to
know what Aaron really thinks about Mike Goodenkunz, the GM there.
I'd like to know what he thinks about him. I'd
also like to know what he thinks about the head coach,
because you're getting the public statement, all that public information
(31:55):
out there, but what about the private Aaron Rodgers methinks it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It's a much different reaction from Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
At this point. But anyway, he's going to go play
for the Jets. And I saw Joe Douglas was all excited.
He was all horning to get Aaron Rodgers in there.
He said it was a historic who that's the GA.
You know who, Joe Douglas. That's a GM of the Jets.
He's a fat guy, Joe Douglas, he's the GM there,
and he said it was historic. He was talking about
(32:23):
to the media about the draft and all that stuff.
So he's all fired up, and did you expect him
not to be fired up? No, Now, the guy that's
going to be in here, and he's at least an
employee of one day for the company, the GM formally
of the Cardinals, that would be none other than Steve Khime,
who's going to be part of our draft coverage. And
(32:46):
he said that drafting Nick Bosa over Kyler Murray would
have gotten him fired, is what he said.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And my rebuttal to that, and I've never met them, man,
but my rebuttal of that.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Is you ended up getting fired anyway because of Kyler Murray,
because Kyler Murray doesn't listen, because Kyler Murray does.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
His own thing.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
He's more interested in being a video game MVP than
the NFL MVP.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
So that was a sophie's choice.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Whoever you picked would have been someone that ended up
getting you fired, right, You would have ended up losing
your job. And so he said, well, I would have
lost my job if I had picked the other guy.
The problem is the other guy, Nick Bosa, is better
than Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
You'd rather have Nick.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Bosa on your defense than you would Kyler Murray is
your quarterback. That's a fact. Here's the Ben Maller Show,
and we'll have the Insta trivia. The Insta trivia. We'll
get to that right now, and you can answer this
on Twitter at Ben Maler. That's at Ben Maller. And
we're not gonna take any calls on this, Believe it

I know that's amazing. But anyway, here we go. Here's
the answer trivia.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Aaron Rogers is expected to wear numbnumber eight in New York.
Blank was the first quarterback to wear number eight for
the Jets.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Again.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Aaron Rodgers is expected to wear number eight in New
York for the twenty twenty three season. Blank was the
first quarterback to wear number eight in Jets history.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
That is the instad trivia. The answer. We'll get to

Speaker 6 (37:10):
I'd like to think I'm pretty good at Jersey numbers.
I'm gonna be a little upset with myself. I don't
get this right. Is it Browning Nagel.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
You're going with Browning Nagel? Is your answer?

gotta right, Browning Nagel.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
The only reason, the only reason I did that question
was to say the name Browning Nagel on the raid.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
There's no other reason.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
He is the greatest Browning that is ever played football.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
I thought he was a Brownie when he was playing.
But we're old, we know who that is.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
But he played for the Jets from nineteen ninety one
to nineteen ninety three. He was a second round pick
out of Louisville, Louisville, there you go, Louisville and did
not quite work out for Browning Nagel in the NFL.
But another one of these guys that the Jets fans
thought that was the guy right, he was gonna be
great and all that, and didn't quite work out.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
Rogers going back to the little college number, huh.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah, he's going back to his number of Cal. And
here's another fun fact about Aaron Rodgers. When Rogers was
a COL, I did a show on the weekends with
Chris Landry, remember Chris Landry, the football scout, good guy,
good talker, and he we we had Aaron Rodgers on
I think two or three times when his last year
at CAL. But it was only because we were on

Speaker 3 (38:30):
It.
Speaker 2 (38:30):

the West coast and that's when Cal would would they
would We had uh because he knew he.
