Hello and welcome. It's our numbber two of the Ben
Mahler Show, and we are glad that you are still
glued to this podcast. Here an hour number two. Why
Why did the Colts reject Jonathan Taylor's trade offer from
the Dolphins? What happens next with Josh Jacobs and the Raiders?
(00:22):
And we'll take a look at that exhibition game, a
couple of exhibition games on Thursday night. But is the
indie excitement level among the media and some fans for
Anthony Richardson justified? We will go over the trials and
tribulations of the rookie quarterback in Indy. We'll talk you
about all that and more right now here it is
(00:42):
give it up for our number two. No dice, not
yet anyway, No dice. Well gome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in
the air every wear hand in hand. As we know,
(01:03):

there's the Ben Malor Show. Unless there's not coast to coast, border,

(01:45):
shoot Meet, and our lead this hour coming from the
Hoosier State, we continue our in depth around the clock
team coverage, breathless team coverage. We're all biting our fingernails
and anticipation. Where is Jonathan Taylor going to play football?
(02:06):
O MG? Now has he been traded?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Have you been following the story? Probably not, But we
have learned that the Colts have been given a formal
offer for a trade from the Dolphins, and Indianapolis rejected
the initial trade proposal from the Miami football team for
running back Jonathan Taylor. Reporting indicates that Miami is going
(02:34):
to go back to the drawing board and re engage
the Colts in a trade negotiation for Taylor. The Denver
Broncos and the Chicago Bears are allegedly also doing the
mating dance right now, and I'm sure there's some mystery
teams in there as well that we'll hear about in
the coming days. When NFL beat writers and insiders need clickbait,
(02:58):
they'll throw a different team out there, like the Eagles
or the Rams or whoever. But the Colts are said
to be hell bent on getting a first round pick
or something comparable in the value in return for Taylor.
So we do know that there's a deadline of Tuesday.
(03:18):
That's when rosters have to be under the fifty three
man threshold for the regular season. If not, the NFL
will send you to the gulag. And that's also the
deadline the Colts have given for Taylor to find what
they call a suitable trade agreement, because not only does
he have to get the Colts to sign off on it,
he has to get the riches of Solomon direct deposit
(03:42):
into his bank account from whatever team he goes to.
So let us discuss the question why did the Colts
reject the Jonathan Taylor trade offer from the Dolphins. My observations,
I've got artisan the walk and Cypress Hill will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
(04:04):
make a soft pretzel, which is an amazing treat with
a little cheese, little side dish of cheese on the side.
That's good man is that serves a lot of good purposes,
a lot of good purposes. So number one the obvious answer.
(04:25):
Indianapolis rejected the Jonathan Taylor initial trade offer because they've
got leverage. They've got leverage. People work better on deadlines,
so you move the clock. It's like that classic scene,
the Hollywood trope of the sticks of dynamite bomb the
clock on it, counting down all the way down five four, three,
(04:51):
two one, and then kaboom if a trade doesn't happen.
But Jonathan Taylor, Jonathan Taylor here would be committing financial
suicide if he sat out, So he's going to play.
At some point. He's got to play. But Indianapolis does
control whether or not they trade him, and they have
(05:16):
to at least present a tough guy approach, hardball. Jim Irsay,
I'm gonna give him credit on this. Jim Ersay was wise.
I don't even know what the Dolphins offered. It's not
really important. It don't matter even if the Dolphins offered
a first round draft pick. You turn the trade down.
Here's why you have to be the artisan, and Jim
(05:36):
Mersay is the artisan. The art of the deal. You're
the artisan accepting the first offer. In any negotiations, whether
you're selling a house, a car, you're trading an athlete
in a sports transaction, you do not you do not
accept the first offer by any means right until you
have fully explored what else is available, because you might
(06:01):
be able to find a bigger sucker out there, and
you'd be leaving something on the table. If you receive
a strong offer early on, wouldn't that be a dead
give way that what you are looking to unload has
value and it is possible there could be more potential
buyers that will be willing to pay a higher price.
I think that's kind of obvious. But by not waiting
(06:23):
for the additional offers, if you had done that, you
inadvertently underprice the value of Jonathan Taylor. Now it's a
free country. You can slam the door in the face
of certain teams if you want, or you could. You
can make the trade. But I think the culture right
in this and you have to be a picky eater.
I was a picky eater. I still am a picky eater.
(06:44):
I've been told I have a diet of a nine
year old, but I like what I like, and you
let your taste buds guide you. Now, speaking of unhappy
running backs, let's go to sin City on page two here,
that's up next. Josh Jacobs continues to be stuck in
a hole holding pattern. He is treading water right now.
Just la la la la la la la la la
(07:06):
la la la la la la la suspended animation, unhappy, grumbling,
sitting out, not a holdout. He just hasn't signed the
franchise tag. He's twiddling his thumbs as we speak. Now.
General manager Dave Ziegler, who I was told by somebody
listens to sports talk radio, so I guess we have
to like him. He's an old patriot guy. But he
(07:28):
said nothing new. Well, just keep pushing forward. In my response,
I will now quote the Burner account, who's now a
truck driver. So you have to say ten to four,
good buddy. What happens next with Josh Jacobs and the Raiders?
That is the question here, What happens next with Josh
Jacobs and the Raiders. So, looking into my crystal ball,
(07:49):
as a distant relative of Nostra Damas and friend of Nostradinas,
the answer the walk he takes. The walk, The walk
of shame. The walk of shame. He will then attempt
to sing Kumbaya and roast marshmallows and make graham crackers
(08:10):
around the fire, but he will do the walk of shame.
He will have to go back to the Raider facility,
tail tucked between his legs. There's nothing else to do.
The Raiders have refused teams that have tried to get
him into trade. They're not trading. Supposedly, maybe they'll change
their opinion, but at this point, from what we've heard,
they're not gonna do that. So they're not gonna trade him.
(08:32):
And here's the other thing that's kind of odd. And
maybe I'm naive on this, but to me, Josh Jacobs
can walk back to the Raiders and have a smile
on his face because it's a great mitzvah. And if
you want to change the narrative, Las Vegas placed the
ten point one million dollar franchise tag onto Jacobs, so
(08:54):
he has to sign on the dotted line or docu sign,
but he gets an extra two million. An extra two million, remember,
because the Raiders did not pick up the fifth year
option on that rookie contract because they thought this guy
was a third and then he went out and had
a great year running the ball for the Raiders, and
so now they like we had to keep him, so
(09:15):
they tagged him. But if he had been given the
fifth year option, he would have made around eight million.
So he ends up getting I know, there's trouble in paradise,
but he ends up getting an extra over two million
dollars roughly. Final point, I must address something we talked
about in a previous hour of the show. Now, I
(09:37):
don't watch much of exhibition football. I don't very busy,
as you know, when you hold down the overnight franchise
at Fox Sports Radio, when ninety eight percent of people
are sleeping, this is a very important shift, much more
important than those daytime shifts. So I don't have time
for this. But it did happen to flip over and
(09:58):
see a very little amount, a small amount, small amount
Kings English, small amount of the Colts and Eagles game.
And then I went and watched some baseball. But what
I saw of Anthony Richardson was what I expected. But
yet I look at these reports and the headlines here
(10:22):
that this is a guy on the verge of superstardom,
that he's inspired optimism among the electorate in Indianapolis heading
into his rookie season, and that's why they drafted him.
I've seen those kind of comments, and so in that
little cartoon bubble on top of my end, I'm like, like,
what are we doing here? Right? Seriously, what are we
(10:44):
doing now? The Horseshoes won the game against Eagle backups
twenty seven to thirteen. Congratulations. It will likely be the
last when they get anytime soon. But let's address it.
I've already revealed my hand. But is the indie excitement lever,
at least the perceived the perception of excitement for Anthony
(11:05):
Richardson in the NFL media justified And I am shaking
my head.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The amount of media coverage that I have seen from
a number of media jockeys is ridonculous. It is a
Cypress Hill song, insane to the membrane. The pundits are
working so hard to inflate the tires. It's like if
(11:36):
you've ever been in in the old days, I guess
they still have these things, the monster car Battle Royales
that they have sometimes on the weekends in the summer,
they go around and destroy cars and the monster It's
like one of those the tires of the size of that,
the monster truck tire for richards These deranged dopes foaming
(11:58):
at the mouth that Richardson is not only a quarterback,
he's going to be amazing. And I look at Richardson
right now, and I said, well, I only judge you
by what you are right now, and not only are
you a quarterback, you were terrible. And I didn't watch
that much of the game. When I watched, I saw
incomplete passes. And I guess that's right, because he attempted
seventeen passes, eleven of them were incomplete, got away with
(12:22):
a couple of plays that should have been could have
been interceptions or turnovers, and had seventy eight yards passing.
He can played thirty five percent of his passes for
less than five yards per pass. And yet if you
look at the stories, this guy's about to move mountains,
which proves either nobody watches the game or they don't
(12:43):
care about what happens in the game. They've they've made
their mind up prior to the game that this guy's
the cats me out and that's it. And so if
he goes out and has a passer rating of fifty,
I don't give a crap. I'm still gonna I'm still
gonna give him a shoulder massage and all that, and
and I even saw at one point to see this live.
But then I saw a clip that was bouncing around
that Anthony Richardson flapped his arms to mock the Eagle
(13:08):
fans fly Eagles Fly, Fly, Eagles flyes the late great
Philly Rob on this show I used to sing and
and that that. Yeah, see that routine. It's kind of
you know, I have no problem engaging hostilities towards the
fan base. I love it. But in a practice game,
(13:30):
not a real game, not a real game, we ain't
here talking about practice. You're gonna take vengeance out on
the Eagle fans who you're going against the backups for
Philadelphia in an exhibition game, and you're what are you doing?
Are you that obtuse? It's not even a real game.
So I look at Anthony Richardson and I say, guys
(13:52):
like this who are underdeveloped generally do not blossom. For
everyone that does make it, there's fifty that don't. He's
a half baked steak. Now if he turns out to
be a great quarterback someday that's fine, but right now
he's raw, and it's all about the good lighting, the
camera angles and all the special effects to make him
(14:14):
look better than he is. And Richardson is going to
be tossed into an absolute wood chipper. He is going
to be so ugly for the Colts. It's gonna be like,
should they play Richardson? He's not ready. Put Gardner Minshew
in there. You know, he's gotta learn on the bench.
Give him the clipboard. And so that's gonna be the
(14:35):
way it goes. And I'm never wrong about these things,
never wrong. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Jimmy Fromain writs and he says exciting news for the
state of main. Big band a costco is currently being
built in the city of Scarborough. Wondering if you will
be there opening day. Well, if I'm invited, Jimmy, I
actually knew that fun fact when I visited your fine state, Jimmy,
when I was in Maine a couple of weeks ago,
(16:18):
and I needed gas. And so when I need gas
wherever I am, and I often need gas because I'm
I always need a gas So when I need it,
I always look for Costco and I could not believe
there was no Costco in the state of Man. I said,
how can people live in this state without Costco? And
(16:38):
then I read that they were opening their first Costco.
I also read that they're opening big Costco in Rhode
Island coming up. But there's clearly a shortage of Costco
in the Northeast. You're missing out now. My hope is
and this was the main reason I was trying to
find Costco in Maine, because I've heard, I've actually been teased,
not not just heard. I've seen photographic evidence from listeners
(17:01):
that live in Canada that they have at the food
court in Canada poo teen poutain in the food court
game changer, and I hope pooh poo. I hope to
live long enough to walk into a Costco food court
and order the poutine. That would be magical. Haven't done
(17:24):
it yet. I thought, maybe if there was one in Maine,
and when they open the one in Maine, let me know,
Jimmy if they have the poutine. If they have the poutine,
I'm there, I mean chipping the ques rites in says
A plus on the Mallary monologue spot on. He says,
by the way, you're right about the Clippers being the
people's team, just like many employees at other workplaces nowadays,
(17:45):
the Clipper players only show up the work when they
feel like it. Next hour, Chip, next hour are the
lame jokes of the week, not this hour. Next hour.
You goofed up. Bad job by you, Jeff writes, and
he says, it's all a smoke screen with Jonathan Taylor
trade rumors. Everyone knows that Taylor is headed down the
(18:06):
US fifty two West to US forty one nor for
four hours and twenty six minutes to shit cargo. He
will be a Bear playing for the Bears by Sunday
or Monday at the latest. That's NFL insider Jeff, who
has as much credibility on this show as Adam Schefter.
(18:29):
So if Jeff says it, it's gonna happen, unless he's
just been hitting the mini bar. The green Bak Gobbler
writes it again. He says, it's insane to the membrane
to think that Anthony Richardson does not need the former
Badger Jonathan Taylor to help him play action catching yards
out of the backfield there. If he's worth the first
(18:51):
round pick, why not keep him. It's all about the money, Yes,
of course, it's all about the money. It's always about
the money. But the Colts could pay him. You can
absolutely pay him. Waiting for my board to be refreshed.

(19:36):
You either love him or you hate him, but you
have a hot take on him. Our friend the cryptkeeper Hayes.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Ben Hi Hayes a my life.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
But I'm not taking I'm not taking your pulse, so
I don't know if you're alive or not.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
You are talking, okay, great, yeah, I'm on the air
now I can hear you.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's exciting, this is amazing. We're making audio magic. Me
and you, Hayes. There's people ease dropping in. They're eaves
dropping in on our conversation. They're they're whisping, we're whispering
and they're listening.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I'm so excited. I have a smile on my face.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
That sounds like you sound like you have a big smile.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Hey, how's it going? Man? A long time?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well, thanks for asking. You know, people normally people ask
how I'm doing, But how's it going? Uh, it's it's
it's going okay. I it was in traffic again. I
had to run in some errands and things and so
that was a pain in the tush.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Hey man, laugh some greed news?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh you have great news. Okay, we love great news.
Let's try to guess what Hayes' is great news is
before we'll play it. We'll do a round robin. We'll
go around the room. Now. Hayes has been calling the
show for a couple of years now, and I did
not get to meet him at the mallor meet greet unfortunately,
but we were in Minnesota. Hayes, I was hoping he
would show up. He did not show up. But Hayes
is a legendary member the Mallard militia. He says he
(21:10):
has good news. He works at a Is it a
cemetery you work at or a morgue?
Speaker 6 (21:17):
It's a it's a cemetery slash morgue.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's all inclusive. Yes, they send your body there, they
bury you, so you get a little bit of everything there.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I think I think Hayes is excited because he found
some coupons to a local restaurant. Eddie, what do you
want to say here? We're playing the round robin game
guessing why Hayes is excited.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I'm gonna say the voices in his head have stopped
talking for two days now.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Okay, that would be big and Coople loop. You want
in on this Coople loop.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
We're guessing why Hayes is excited?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
That is what I said, Why he's any good mood?
Thanks for listening. No, no, okay, hey, Coop's not playing
her game. I was saying, would you like to play
along with the class? I was saying, Yeah, I'm going
to say he's excited.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
He's got great news because he's German assistant.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Olga is still alive and working with him. Oh that's right,
we forgot about her. That's not her name. But she's
not German either, but I thought she was German. She's Latin,
but whatever, I don't know. All right, reveal answers. This
is very exciting, Hayes. We're all going to find out together.
Lock your bets in. Why Hayes is excited?
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Here we go, all right, Sunday, My uncle died, so
I had one million dollars of insurance on him, just
in case something would happen. I do that with all
of my family members, all thirteen of them. So I
have one million dollars coming for me anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Wait wait, wait, wait, you take out a life insurance
policy on your uncle. How old was your uncle?
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Fifty six? He dies from obesity, heart attacks.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
God, that's not that old though, fifty six.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
So the point is, I don't care about money. I
have plenty of it. But I'm feeling charitable.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Oh you are?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Am.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
I am willing to donate maybe two grand or a
little bit more.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Out of out of a million dollars. You're very charitable.
To donate two grand out of a million dollars's a
lot of.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Money or more any charity or any of your listeners
who are struggling, any any maybe even on Patreon, I
can pay.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh, so this is like a morning show radio contest
where you're you're gonna pay someone's bills. Yeah, he's like,
mister beast. Well, we'd have to check with legal to
see if this is allowed. I don't know why they
wouldn't allow this, but I mean other than the fact
that you might not actually pay the money, which would
be a problem, and then we'd be on the hook
for the money.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
No, no, no, uh, you know the money million dollars takes time.
You know, you've got to verify stuff. But I have
a bunch of my own hard work money. It's a
lot of it. Anyways, I want to be charitable if
if any of your listeners are struggling or you know,
just anything. Yeah, maybe I get a link, no questions asked.
(24:27):
I'll send money, totally legal, I pay taxes everything, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Listen, listen, well, Ben, somewhere weed Man Hippie has just
passed out on.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The Floor's great, that's a great point that weed Man
Hippie is so down on his luck. He's lost his teeth.
He doesn't even have teeth anymore. In Miami. He's been
begging for money on the show for ten years at least.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, hey, you're playing Santa Claus here, Hayes is Santa.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I'm very charitable. That's one thing I do know it.
While we're at it, you guys, you guys live in
Los Angeles or you know, California, you have to make
You have to make a certain amount of money to
live comfortable.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I am that's right that Iowa Sam makes a ton
of money. That's why he's living very comfortably over there. Yeah,
it's correct, all right, listen, I gotta go. You got
to call more often. But if you want to do this,
if you're legit, if you're serious, well we'll see if
we can do it.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
All I was gonna say, do you guys take gifts
as well? The radio host?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Well, I cannot ask for a gift, but if a
listener sends me something I don't know, it would very rude,
right Eddie, It would be very rude to turn down again.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Extremely rude. And then that host, if he did get
a gift, would be extremely rude if he didn't share
it with his coworkers.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Oh is that is that right?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
I call next time, you guys give me the information
to send it there? Maybe you know a gift like
coffee mugs or something.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I think we're good on coffee mugs, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
I'll take ko, I'll take a more coffee mug.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
I can't wait until you break the news to weed
Man Hippie when he calls in for lame jokes.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Oh, it'll be so good. Oh so weed Man. We
get this guy in Minnesota. He washes dead bodies, but
he wants to send you two grand.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
He may pass out.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It all spends the same, doesn't it, oh man. Steve
writes that he says f Thatt costco. They closed the
local horse track to build that dump. I will not
be going ever. Well I'm sorry about that, Steve. I apologize.
But horse racing that industry because of the off site
betting and all that he killed the I love going
(26:58):
to the horse track. I used to live not far
from Santa Anita where the horses would die every other day.
But I loved going to Santa Anita. It was great, man.
It was just all day hanging out. You got the
rich people on one side, you got the degenerate poor
people on the other, and they don't really intermingle very much.
But I love the track. I gotta get back out there.
I've not been out the track in a while.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Yeah, on news from Major League Baseball Angel Star Show.
Hey Otani, the Ale MVP front runner and Major League
home run leader plans on continuing to d h for
the team despite that ligament tearing his elbow that caused
him to be shut down as a pitcher. Still no
word if he's going to have surgery for that.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Here's a fun fact on the Angels. Fun fact everybody
in fact, since they fired Joe Madden, blaming Joe Madden
for the problems, the Angels have won one hundred and
seven games and lost one hundred and twenty seven, So
clearly it was Joe Madden's fault. They have a four
fifty seven winning percentage.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I don't believe Coop believes that. That's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I love Joe Madden. I wish that was my favorite people. Yeah,
good dude. I knew him before he became Joe Madden.
He was just a nobody with the Angels as a
coach for Mike Sooshi. He was a good dude, good guy.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Is he gonna be back somewhere soon.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
He doesn't going to be an opening in Cleveland. I
hear Frank Cone is.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Apparently I'd like to see Joe Madden back, but they
want to hire yes man. Joe MADD's not a yes man,
so that's the problem.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
This note from the NFL forty nine Ers GM John
Lynch says the team will likely keep quarterback Trey Lance
on the roster going in to the season. Of course,
likely is a weasel word, and general managers never lie,
but he claims that the plan is to keep Trey
Lance on the roster. Now. Of course, the forty nine
Ers have had a lot of injury issues when it
(29:24):
comes to quarterback, so maybe he's being legit, but I'm
saying that's doubtful.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yes, And news that will shock every New England Patriot fan.
The Minnesota Vikings waved Nikhil Harry, Hey gone. Nikhil Harry
was the first round pick New England Patriots, I believe
out of Arizona State.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
That is correct.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
It's very it's a very bad thing to say. I
I don't know. I mean Hayes. Hayes has a very
interesting cadence. I'd like to think.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
That it's what I'm saying like that, but like, uh,
he's also he has a more trust cemetery. It's something
that I mean, we are poor, white, trash heavy. We
like to combine things. We got wings and things combined

more trash cemetery.

like a Vegas death thing or something like that. I
don't know, man, you did this. You start talking about this,
it is it is.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
It is my fault. That's what he talked about it.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
Oh my god, Ben maw of joining. Today's no accountability.
What is the responsibility a being whose names on.
Speaker 1 (31:49):

Speaker 7 (31:54):
Oh I like them. I like the Oh my god,
I was gonna Eddie. I respect you. I will not
do anything like that, of course, but you'll say that.
I mean, come on, now, come on, we need we
need a breakdown of a ranking of show college dude,
real deal, because I was looking up on something.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Are you asking for a list? Are you demanding a list? Well,
you're definitely dating. You know you're you're higher than hollering James.
He doesn't call anymore, Felexus doesn't call anymore, Tammy, and
Montana doesn't call anymore. We've lost a lot of the regulars.
They've they've left the show for various reasons. So you've
moved up by just hey, up the rankings.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
I just want to thank you for that, Hayes. I'm sure.
I'm sure you had nothing to do with that. You know,
wing wing, But I mean what psychology today says, hey,
you know there's a lot. I looked it up because
I mean, what's his name? Is the teacher? I mean,
come on, after he's teaching, I'm sure he is. That's
I used. I used to stay up again and calling
an overnight show.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
There was you a teacher.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
By the way, you were a teacher too, so I
wouldn't talk that.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Then then the three months that I came back after
I got suspended for drug usage passing out a gas
pump where some of the most real lessons kids have
ever gotten. I knew I was not gonna be hot
back and I had no figure whatsoever that from that
point on and the life lessons I gave out Man
and you should have been some of these kids that
like despised me the fullhand once they knew I did
drudge on the download like they talk on mister Tyner.
(33:12):
Oh whoa, that's the name. That's real cours. Real name
was mister Tiler dot Dom's what it is. But I
mean they they respected me. It was sad, dude, it
was sad. It was sad.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Okay, can I go? Am I allowed to leave? Now?
Can I? Can I end?
Speaker 5 (33:25):
This?
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Is this?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
We're done?
Speaker 7 (33:26):
Noah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean I'm not jealous of
you with your internaction with other college because I know
it's like you'd like to play hard to get because
you don't none of them. So it because my calls
are awesome and so what it is, dude, I'm a
break a through. Yes right now, thank you?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Alrighty, that was great, amazing call. One call better than
next time. Now for the instant trivia. It is a
franchise that has had many wonderful quarterbacks, but Blank is
the forty nine ers franchise leader in career fourth quarter
touchdown passes. Again, it's a team that has had so
(34:03):
many wonderful quarterbacks over the years, but Blank is the
forty nine ers franchise leader in career fourth quarter touchdown passes.
That is the instat trivia the answer. We'll get to
it and we will do it next. Dada, da nada.

A lot of reaction to Hayes' phone call from earlier
on the Texas t Rights. Then she says, make sure
to let Hayes know about the homeless guy in Seattle.
There's also people saying that Hayes is a fraud. Jeff
says that last caller sounded like the prints from Nigeria
email you get in your spam accounts. Also, Iowa Sam
should have asked him to send him a replacement air
(35:41):
frar since he claims he's sold. You're talking about the
the friar liar, the air friar liar, airfriarsh f all
so on Hayes's dime. We got to check. Maybe Hayes
needs to send us a donation, just to make sure
he's on the up and up. You know, that'd be
the right thing to do. Matt says. The calendar reads
(36:04):
August twenty fifth. Matt the Warrior Raider fan says, but
at weed man's dwelling, it's Christmas morning. Yeah, you're assuming
he's listening, and.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
He's not listening.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
He knows no chance. There is no chance that that
man is listening. Time now for the Insta Trivia. They've
had many greats over the years, but this person blank
is the forty nine Ers franchise leader in career fourth
quarter touchdown passes. That is the insta trivia. What is
the answer, and let's see if anybody knows the correct answer?
Joe Friday guess by courtesy Flusher j T. O'Sullivan a
(36:38):
Niner legend from Late Night Drug Tester Doodie Hawser, mdef
and Bean boot Maker, Bob Niner legend John Brody guest
by Midnight Walker Joe Montana from Matt the Warrior Raider,
Rays fan, Bobby Winia, mister nice Guy, Steve Spurry, the
old ball coach from Stevie Meatballs in Florida, Jed who
fled slamming the Monster Energy Energy Drinks from Milkman Mike
(37:01):
in Colorado. Eddie, do you have an answer? Eddie?
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Yes, it's former forty nine er legend Steve Bono.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
This is a different forty nine er legend, this guy.
He had a very crished performance, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Jeff oh my cousin, Jeff.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yes, right, Jeff Garcia a thirty five to fourth quarter touchdown.
It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 4 (37:24):
To the third degree, This is one big fan gets graill.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Man Chris Collinsworth didn't interview the other day, talking about
the Cowboys and their America's Team title, he said, it
doesn't matter what the Cowboys record is. If NBC had
their choice, they'd do seventeen Dallas Cowboys games.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Is he right? Yeah? And same with Fox, NBC, CBS,
The Dallas Cowboys of the gold standard. Every network fights
for Cowboy games. Fox is number one in the ratings
every year because they get the most Cowboy games the
Dallas Cowboys. It doesn't matter if they blow or not.
People watch the Cowboys and record numbers. So he's absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Next, Caleb Williams says he hasn't decided whether or not
he will return, whether or not he'll enter the twenty
twenty four NFL Draft. He said it'll be a in
the moment decision at the end of the year if
he'll return to USC Ben Why even say this when
there's almost no chance he comes back for a senior year.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Well, there is a chance because if nil money, you're
getting paid. And the word on the street is he
doesn't want to play for the Arizona Cardinals, so if
they get the number one pick, he can say go
pound saying I ain't going to Arizona, which is a
douchebag move, but he can do it. So it's really
about manipulating the draft, is what it's about. And so
that's the leverage he has. I don't like it, but
we've seen Eli Manning and other people do it. Next
(38:38):
Peyton Manning did it, by the way, going back to Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Next, Jets rookie wide receiver Jerome Cap went viral for
his impersonation of Eminem during the team talent show featured
on Hard Knocks. If FSR did a company talent show,
what would your act be, Ben?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
So, I would do impersonations. I would impersonate a Buddhist monk.
I would get on stage, I would sit and say nothing.
And that's what I would do, and I would win.
By the way, you feel like this, just like I
won this. I just want this and
Hello and welcome. It's our numbber two of the Ben
Mahler Show, and we are glad that you are still
glued to this podcast. Here an hour number two. Why
Why did the Colts reject Jonathan Taylor's trade offer from
the Dolphins? What happens next with Josh Jacobs and the Raiders?
(00:22):
And we'll take a look at that exhibition game, a
couple of exhibition games on Thursday night. But is the
indie excitement level among the media and some fans for
Anthony Richardson justified? We will go over the trials and
tribulations of the rookie quarterback in Indy. We'll talk you
about all that and more right now here it is
(00:42):
give it up for our number two. No dice, not
yet anyway, No dice. Well gome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in

there's the Ben Malor Show. Unless there's not coast to coast, border,

(01:45):
shoot Meet, and our lead this hour coming from the
Hoosier State, we continue our in depth around the clock
team coverage, breathless team coverage. We're all biting our fingernails
and anticipation. Where is Jonathan Taylor going to play football?
(02:06):
O MG? Now has he been traded?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Have you been following the story? Probably not, But we
have learned that the Colts have been given a formal
offer for a trade from the Dolphins, and Indianapolis rejected
the initial trade proposal from the Miami football team for
running back Jonathan Taylor. Reporting indicates that Miami is going
(02:34):
to go back to the drawing board and re engage
the Colts in a trade negotiation for Taylor. The Denver
Broncos and the Chicago Bears are allegedly also doing the
mating dance right now, and I'm sure there's some mystery
teams in there as well that we'll hear about in
the coming days. When NFL beat writers and insiders need clickbait,
(02:58):
they'll throw a different team out there, like the Eagles
or the Rams or whoever. But the Colts are said
to be hell bent on getting a first round pick
or something comparable in the value in return for Taylor.
So we do know that there's a deadline of Tuesday.
(03:18):
That's when rosters have to be under the fifty three
man threshold for the regular season. If not, the NFL
will send you to the gulag. And that's also the
deadline the Colts have given for Taylor to find what
they call a suitable trade agreement, because not only does
he have to get the Colts to sign off on it,
he has to get the riches of Solomon direct deposit
(03:42):
into his bank account from whatever team he goes to.
So let us discuss the question why did the Colts
reject the Jonathan Taylor trade offer from the Dolphins. My observations,
I've got artisan the walk and Cypress Hill will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
(04:04):
make a soft pretzel, which is an amazing treat with
a little cheese, little side dish of cheese on the side.
That's good man is that serves a lot of good purposes,
a lot of good purposes. So number one the obvious answer.
(04:25):
Indianapolis rejected the Jonathan Taylor initial trade offer because they've
got leverage. They've got leverage. People work better on deadlines,
so you move the clock. It's like that classic scene,
the Hollywood trope of the sticks of dynamite bomb the
clock on it, counting down all the way down five four, three,
(04:51):
two one, and then kaboom if a trade doesn't happen.
But Jonathan Taylor, Jonathan Taylor here would be committing financial
suicide if he sat out, So he's going to play.
At some point. He's got to play. But Indianapolis does
control whether or not they trade him, and they have
(05:16):
to at least present a tough guy approach, hardball. Jim Irsay,
I'm gonna give him credit on this. Jim Ersay was wise.
I don't even know what the Dolphins offered. It's not
really important. It don't matter even if the Dolphins offered
a first round draft pick. You turn the trade down.
Here's why you have to be the artisan, and Jim
(05:36):
Mersay is the artisan. The art of the deal. You're
the artisan accepting the first offer. In any negotiations, whether
you're selling a house, a car, you're trading an athlete
in a sports transaction, you do not you do not
accept the first offer by any means right until you
have fully explored what else is available, because you might
(06:01):
be able to find a bigger sucker out there, and
you'd be leaving something on the table. If you receive
a strong offer early on, wouldn't that be a dead
give way that what you are looking to unload has
value and it is possible there could be more potential
buyers that will be willing to pay a higher price.
I think that's kind of obvious. But by not waiting
(06:23):
for the additional offers, if you had done that, you
inadvertently underprice the value of Jonathan Taylor. Now it's a
free country. You can slam the door in the face
of certain teams if you want, or you could. You
can make the trade. But I think the culture right
in this and you have to be a picky eater.
I was a picky eater. I still am a picky eater.
(06:44):
I've been told I have a diet of a nine
year old, but I like what I like, and you
let your taste buds guide you. Now, speaking of unhappy
running backs, let's go to sin City on page two here,
that's up next. Josh Jacobs continues to be stuck in
a hole holding pattern. He is treading water right now.
Just la la la la la la la la la
(07:06):
la la la la la la la suspended animation, unhappy, grumbling,
sitting out, not a holdout. He just hasn't signed the
franchise tag. He's twiddling his thumbs as we speak. Now.
General manager Dave Ziegler, who I was told by somebody
listens to sports talk radio, so I guess we have
to like him. He's an old patriot guy. But he
(07:28):
said nothing new. Well, just keep pushing forward. In my response,
I will now quote the Burner account, who's now a
truck driver. So you have to say ten to four,
good buddy. What happens next with Josh Jacobs and the Raiders?
That is the question here, What happens next with Josh
Jacobs and the Raiders. So, looking into my crystal ball,
(07:49):
as a distant relative of Nostra Damas and friend of Nostradinas,
the answer the walk he takes. The walk, The walk
of shame. The walk of shame. He will then attempt
to sing Kumbaya and roast marshmallows and make graham crackers
(08:10):
around the fire, but he will do the walk of shame.
He will have to go back to the Raider facility,
tail tucked between his legs. There's nothing else to do.
The Raiders have refused teams that have tried to get
him into trade. They're not trading. Supposedly, maybe they'll change
their opinion, but at this point, from what we've heard,
they're not gonna do that. So they're not gonna trade him.
(08:32):
And here's the other thing that's kind of odd. And
maybe I'm naive on this, but to me, Josh Jacobs
can walk back to the Raiders and have a smile
on his face because it's a great mitzvah. And if
you want to change the narrative, Las Vegas placed the
ten point one million dollar franchise tag onto Jacobs, so
(08:54):
he has to sign on the dotted line or docu sign,
but he gets an extra two million. An extra two million, remember,
because the Raiders did not pick up the fifth year
option on that rookie contract because they thought this guy
was a third and then he went out and had
a great year running the ball for the Raiders, and
so now they like we had to keep him, so
(09:15):
they tagged him. But if he had been given the
fifth year option, he would have made around eight million.
So he ends up getting I know, there's trouble in paradise,
but he ends up getting an extra over two million
dollars roughly. Final point, I must address something we talked
about in a previous hour of the show. Now, I
(09:37):
don't watch much of exhibition football. I don't very busy,
as you know, when you hold down the overnight franchise
at Fox Sports Radio, when ninety eight percent of people
are sleeping, this is a very important shift, much more
important than those daytime shifts. So I don't have time
for this. But it did happen to flip over and
(09:58):
see a very little amount, a small amount, small amount
Kings English, small amount of the Colts and Eagles game.
And then I went and watched some baseball. But what
I saw of Anthony Richardson was what I expected. But
yet I look at these reports and the headlines here
(10:22):
that this is a guy on the verge of superstardom,
that he's inspired optimism among the electorate in Indianapolis heading
into his rookie season, and that's why they drafted him.
I've seen those kind of comments, and so in that
little cartoon bubble on top of my end, I'm like, like,
what are we doing here? Right? Seriously, what are we
(10:44):
doing now? The Horseshoes won the game against Eagle backups
twenty seven to thirteen. Congratulations. It will likely be the
last when they get anytime soon. But let's address it.
I've already revealed my hand. But is the indie excitement lever,
at least the perceived the perception of excitement for Anthony
(11:05):
Richardson in the NFL media justified And I am shaking
my head.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The amount of media coverage that I have seen from
a number of media jockeys is ridonculous. It is a
Cypress Hill song, insane to the membrane. The pundits are
working so hard to inflate the tires. It's like if
(11:36):
you've ever been in in the old days, I guess
they still have these things, the monster car Battle Royales
that they have sometimes on the weekends in the summer,
they go around and destroy cars and the monster It's
like one of those the tires of the size of that,
the monster truck tire for richards These deranged dopes foaming
(11:58):
at the mouth that Richardson is not only a quarterback,
he's going to be amazing. And I look at Richardson
right now, and I said, well, I only judge you
by what you are right now, and not only are
you a quarterback, you were terrible. And I didn't watch
that much of the game. When I watched, I saw
incomplete passes. And I guess that's right, because he attempted
seventeen passes, eleven of them were incomplete, got away with
(12:22):
a couple of plays that should have been could have
been interceptions or turnovers, and had seventy eight yards passing.
He can played thirty five percent of his passes for
less than five yards per pass. And yet if you
look at the stories, this guy's about to move mountains,
which proves either nobody watches the game or they don't
(12:43):
care about what happens in the game. They've they've made
their mind up prior to the game that this guy's
the cats me out and that's it. And so if
he goes out and has a passer rating of fifty,
I don't give a crap. I'm still gonna I'm still
gonna give him a shoulder massage and all that, and
and I even saw at one point to see this live.
But then I saw a clip that was bouncing around
that Anthony Richardson flapped his arms to mock the Eagle
(13:08):
fans fly Eagles Fly, Fly, Eagles flyes the late great
Philly Rob on this show I used to sing and
and that that. Yeah, see that routine. It's kind of
you know, I have no problem engaging hostilities towards the
fan base. I love it. But in a practice game,
(13:30):
not a real game, not a real game, we ain't
here talking about practice. You're gonna take vengeance out on
the Eagle fans who you're going against the backups for
Philadelphia in an exhibition game, and you're what are you doing?
Are you that obtuse? It's not even a real game.
So I look at Anthony Richardson and I say, guys
(13:52):
like this who are underdeveloped generally do not blossom. For
everyone that does make it, there's fifty that don't. He's
a half baked steak. Now if he turns out to
be a great quarterback someday that's fine, but right now
he's raw, and it's all about the good lighting, the
camera angles and all the special effects to make him
(14:14):
look better than he is. And Richardson is going to
be tossed into an absolute wood chipper. He is going
to be so ugly for the Colts. It's gonna be like,
should they play Richardson? He's not ready. Put Gardner Minshew
in there. You know, he's gotta learn on the bench.
Give him the clipboard. And so that's gonna be the
(14:35):
way it goes. And I'm never wrong about these things,
never wrong. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you

Jimmy Fromain writs and he says exciting news for the
state of main. Big band a costco is currently being
built in the city of Scarborough. Wondering if you will
be there opening day. Well, if I'm invited, Jimmy, I
actually knew that fun fact when I visited your fine state, Jimmy,
when I was in Maine a couple of weeks ago,
(16:18):
and I needed gas. And so when I need gas
wherever I am, and I often need gas because I'm
I always need a gas So when I need it,
I always look for Costco and I could not believe
there was no Costco in the state of Man. I said,
how can people live in this state without Costco? And
(16:38):
then I read that they were opening their first Costco.
I also read that they're opening big Costco in Rhode
Island coming up. But there's clearly a shortage of Costco
in the Northeast. You're missing out now. My hope is
and this was the main reason I was trying to
find Costco in Maine, because I've heard, I've actually been teased,
not not just heard. I've seen photographic evidence from listeners
(17:01):
that live in Canada that they have at the food
court in Canada poo teen poutain in the food court
game changer, and I hope pooh poo. I hope to
live long enough to walk into a Costco food court
and order the poutine. That would be magical. Haven't done
(17:24):
it yet. I thought, maybe if there was one in Maine,
and when they open the one in Maine, let me know,
Jimmy if they have the poutine. If they have the poutine,
I'm there, I mean chipping the ques rites in says
A plus on the Mallary monologue spot on. He says,
by the way, you're right about the Clippers being the
people's team, just like many employees at other workplaces nowadays,
(17:45):
the Clipper players only show up the work when they
feel like it. Next hour, Chip, next hour are the
lame jokes of the week, not this hour. Next hour.
You goofed up. Bad job by you, Jeff writes, and
he says, it's all a smoke screen with Jonathan Taylor
trade rumors. Everyone knows that Taylor is headed down the
(18:06):
US fifty two West to US forty one nor for
four hours and twenty six minutes to shit cargo. He
will be a Bear playing for the Bears by Sunday
or Monday at the latest. That's NFL insider Jeff, who
has as much credibility on this show as Adam Schefter.
(18:29):
So if Jeff says it, it's gonna happen, unless he's
just been hitting the mini bar. The green Bak Gobbler
writes it again. He says, it's insane to the membrane
to think that Anthony Richardson does not need the former
Badger Jonathan Taylor to help him play action catching yards
out of the backfield there. If he's worth the first
(18:51):
round pick, why not keep him. It's all about the money, Yes,
of course, it's all about the money. It's always about
the money. But the Colts could pay him. You can
absolutely pay him. Waiting for my board to be refreshed.

(19:36):
You either love him or you hate him, but you
have a hot take on him. Our friend the cryptkeeper Hayes.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Ben Hi Hayes a my life.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
But I'm not taking I'm not taking your pulse, so
I don't know if you're alive or not.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
You are talking, okay, great, yeah, I'm on the air
now I can hear you.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's exciting, this is amazing. We're making audio magic. Me
and you, Hayes. There's people ease dropping in. They're eaves
dropping in on our conversation. They're they're whisping, we're whispering
and they're listening.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I'm so excited. I have a smile on my face.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
That sounds like you sound like you have a big smile.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
Hey, how's it going? Man? A long time?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well, thanks for asking. You know, people normally people ask
how I'm doing, But how's it going? Uh, it's it's
it's going okay. I it was in traffic again. I
had to run in some errands and things and so
that was a pain in the tush.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Hey man, laugh some greed news?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh you have great news. Okay, we love great news.
Let's try to guess what Hayes' is great news is
before we'll play it. We'll do a round robin. We'll
go around the room. Now. Hayes has been calling the
show for a couple of years now, and I did
not get to meet him at the mallor meet greet unfortunately,
but we were in Minnesota. Hayes, I was hoping he
would show up. He did not show up. But Hayes
is a legendary member the Mallard militia. He says he
(21:10):
has good news. He works at a Is it a
cemetery you work at or a morgue?
Speaker 6 (21:17):
It's a it's a cemetery slash morgue.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's all inclusive. Yes, they send your body there, they
bury you, so you get a little bit of everything there.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I think I think Hayes is excited because he found
some coupons to a local restaurant. Eddie, what do you
want to say here? We're playing the round robin game
guessing why Hayes is excited.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I'm gonna say the voices in his head have stopped
talking for two days now.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Okay, that would be big and Coople loop. You want
in on this Coople loop.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
We're guessing why Hayes is excited?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
That is what I said, Why he's any good mood?
Thanks for listening. No, no, okay, hey, Coop's not playing
her game. I was saying, would you like to play
along with the class? I was saying, Yeah, I'm going
to say he's excited.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
He's got great news because he's German assistant.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Olga is still alive and working with him. Oh that's right,
we forgot about her. That's not her name. But she's
not German either, but I thought she was German. She's Latin,
but whatever, I don't know. All right, reveal answers. This
is very exciting, Hayes. We're all going to find out together.
Lock your bets in. Why Hayes is excited?
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Here we go, all right, Sunday, My uncle died, so
I had one million dollars of insurance on him, just
in case something would happen. I do that with all
of my family members, all thirteen of them. So I
have one million dollars coming for me anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Wait wait, wait, wait, you take out a life insurance
policy on your uncle. How old was your uncle?
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Fifty six? He dies from obesity, heart attacks.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
God, that's not that old though, fifty six.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
So the point is, I don't care about money. I
have plenty of it. But I'm feeling charitable.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Oh you are?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Am.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
I am willing to donate maybe two grand or a
little bit more.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Out of out of a million dollars. You're very charitable.
To donate two grand out of a million dollars's a
lot of.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Money or more any charity or any of your listeners
who are struggling, any any maybe even on Patreon, I
can pay.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh, so this is like a morning show radio contest
where you're you're gonna pay someone's bills. Yeah, he's like,
mister beast. Well, we'd have to check with legal to
see if this is allowed. I don't know why they
wouldn't allow this, but I mean other than the fact
that you might not actually pay the money, which would
be a problem, and then we'd be on the hook
for the money.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
No, no, no, uh, you know the money million dollars takes time.
You know, you've got to verify stuff. But I have
a bunch of my own hard work money. It's a
lot of it. Anyways, I want to be charitable if
if any of your listeners are struggling or you know,
just anything. Yeah, maybe I get a link, no questions asked.
(24:27):
I'll send money, totally legal, I pay taxes everything, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Listen, listen, well, Ben, somewhere weed Man Hippie has just
passed out on.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The Floor's great, that's a great point that weed Man
Hippie is so down on his luck. He's lost his teeth.
He doesn't even have teeth anymore. In Miami. He's been
begging for money on the show for ten years at least.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, hey, you're playing Santa Claus here, Hayes is Santa.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I'm very charitable. That's one thing I do know it.
While we're at it, you guys, you guys live in
Los Angeles or you know, California, you have to make
You have to make a certain amount of money to
live comfortable.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I am that's right that Iowa Sam makes a ton
of money. That's why he's living very comfortably over there. Yeah,
it's correct, all right, listen, I gotta go. You got
to call more often. But if you want to do this,
if you're legit, if you're serious, well we'll see if
we can do it.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
All I was gonna say, do you guys take gifts
as well? The radio host?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Well, I cannot ask for a gift, but if a
listener sends me something I don't know, it would very rude,
right Eddie, It would be very rude to turn down again.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Extremely rude. And then that host, if he did get
a gift, would be extremely rude if he didn't share
it with his coworkers.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Oh is that is that right?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
I call next time, you guys give me the information
to send it there? Maybe you know a gift like
coffee mugs or something.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I think we're good on coffee mugs, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
I'll take ko, I'll take a more coffee mug.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
SAMs. The only one that drinks coffee.
Speaker 5 (26:07):

listen heyes, we love you man, call more often. Alright,
we'll set that up next time. Okay, thank you. All right,
we're gonna move on.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
I can't wait until you break the news to weed
Man Hippie when he calls in for lame jokes.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Oh, it'll be so good. Oh so weed Man. We
get this guy in Minnesota. He washes dead bodies, but
he wants to send you two grand.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
He may pass out.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It all spends the same, doesn't it, oh man. Steve
writes that he says f Thatt costco. They closed the
local horse track to build that dump. I will not
be going ever. Well I'm sorry about that, Steve. I apologize.
But horse racing that industry because of the off site
betting and all that he killed the I love going
(26:58):
to the horse track. I used to live not far
from Santa Anita where the horses would die every other day.
But I loved going to Santa Anita. It was great, man.
It was just all day hanging out. You got the
rich people on one side, you got the degenerate poor
people on the other, and they don't really intermingle very much.
But I love the track. I gotta get back out there.
I've not been out the track in a while.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Yeah, on news from Major League Baseball Angel Star Show.
Hey Otani, the Ale MVP front runner and Major League
home run leader plans on continuing to d h for
the team despite that ligament tearing his elbow that caused
him to be shut down as a pitcher. Still no
word if he's going to have surgery for that.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Here's a fun fact on the Angels. Fun fact everybody
in fact, since they fired Joe Madden, blaming Joe Madden
for the problems, the Angels have won one hundred and
seven games and lost one hundred and twenty seven, So
clearly it was Joe Madden's fault. They have a four
fifty seven winning percentage.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I don't believe Coop believes that. That's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I love Joe Madden. I wish that was my favorite people. Yeah,
good dude. I knew him before he became Joe Madden.
He was just a nobody with the Angels as a
coach for Mike Sooshi. He was a good dude, good guy.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Is he gonna be back somewhere soon.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
He doesn't going to be an opening in Cleveland. I
hear Frank Cone is.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Apparently I'd like to see Joe Madden back, but they
want to hire yes man. Joe MADD's not a yes man,
so that's the problem.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
This note from the NFL forty nine Ers GM John
Lynch says the team will likely keep quarterback Trey Lance
on the roster going in to the season. Of course,
likely is a weasel word, and general managers never lie,
but he claims that the plan is to keep Trey
Lance on the roster. Now. Of course, the forty nine
Ers have had a lot of injury issues when it
(29:24):
comes to quarterback, so maybe he's being legit, but I'm
saying that's doubtful.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yes, And news that will shock every New England Patriot fan.
The Minnesota Vikings waved Nikhil Harry, Hey gone. Nikhil Harry
was the first round pick New England Patriots, I believe
out of Arizona State.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
That is correct.

his uncle? I murdered it. You know that killing.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
It's very it's a very bad thing to say. I
I don't know. I mean Hayes. Hayes has a very
interesting cadence. I'd like to think.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
That it's what I'm saying like that, but like, uh,
he's also he has a more trust cemetery. It's something
that I mean, we are poor, white, trash heavy. We
like to combine things. We got wings and things combined
with pizza hut and you know the other things. But
more trash cemetery.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
It's all inclusive. It's they cover everything. You drop dead,
you go to the morgue boom, they just push your
body over to the in a hole in the ground.
They push you in their boom. You're good.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
I bet they playing the break on through the other side.
You could have, like something the fentanyl shop right before it.
You could have a church or you know, several religious
you know, oriented things, either after it they've done it,
like a Vegas death thing or something like that. I
don't know, man, you did this. You start talking about this,
it is it is.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
It is my fault. That's what he talked about it.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
Oh my god, Ben maw of joining. Today's no accountability.
What is the responsibility a being whose names on.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
The show Eddie Garcia. It's the Eddie Garcia show.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Oh I like them. I like the Oh my god,
I was gonna Eddie. I respect you. I will not
do anything like that, of course, but you'll say that.
I mean, come on, now, come on, we need we
need a breakdown of a ranking of show college dude,
real deal, because I was looking up on something.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Are you asking for a list? Are you demanding a list? Well,
you're definitely dating. You know you're you're higher than hollering James.
He doesn't call anymore, Felexus doesn't call anymore, Tammy, and
Montana doesn't call anymore. We've lost a lot of the regulars.
They've they've left the show for various reasons. So you've
moved up by just hey, up the rankings.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
I just want to thank you for that, Hayes. I'm sure.
I'm sure you had nothing to do with that. You know,
wing wing, But I mean what psychology today says, hey,
you know there's a lot. I looked it up because
I mean, what's his name? Is the teacher? I mean,
come on, after he's teaching, I'm sure he is. That's
I used. I used to stay up again and calling
an overnight show.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
There was you a teacher.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
By the way, you were a teacher too, so I
wouldn't talk that.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Then then the three months that I came back after
I got suspended for drug usage passing out a gas
pump where some of the most real lessons kids have
ever gotten. I knew I was not gonna be hot
back and I had no figure whatsoever that from that
point on and the life lessons I gave out Man
and you should have been some of these kids that
like despised me the fullhand once they knew I did
drudge on the download like they talk on mister Tyner.
(33:12):
Oh whoa, that's the name. That's real cours. Real name
was mister Tiler dot Dom's what it is. But I
mean they they respected me. It was sad, dude, it
was sad. It was sad.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Okay, can I go? Am I allowed to leave? Now?
Can I? Can I end?
Speaker 5 (33:25):
This?
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Is this?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
We're done?
Speaker 7 (33:26):
Noah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean I'm not jealous of
you with your internaction with other college because I know
it's like you'd like to play hard to get because
you don't none of them. So it because my calls
are awesome and so what it is, dude, I'm a
break a through. Yes right now, thank you?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Alrighty, that was great, amazing call. One call better than
next time. Now for the instant trivia. It is a
franchise that has had many wonderful quarterbacks, but Blank is
the forty nine ers franchise leader in career fourth quarter
touchdown passes. Again, it's a team that has had so
(34:03):
many wonderful quarterbacks over the years, but Blank is the
forty nine ers franchise leader in career fourth quarter touchdown passes.
That is the instat trivia the answer. We'll get to
it and we will do it next. Dada, da nada.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
A lot of reaction to Hayes' phone call from earlier
on the Texas t Rights. Then she says, make sure
to let Hayes know about the homeless guy in Seattle.
There's also people saying that Hayes is a fraud. Jeff
says that last caller sounded like the prints from Nigeria
email you get in your spam accounts. Also, Iowa Sam
should have asked him to send him a replacement air
(35:41):
frar since he claims he's sold. You're talking about the
the friar liar, the air friar liar, airfriarsh f all
so on Hayes's dime. We got to check. Maybe Hayes
needs to send us a donation, just to make sure
he's on the up and up. You know, that'd be
the right thing to do. Matt says. The calendar reads
(36:04):
August twenty fifth. Matt the Warrior Raider fan says, but
at weed man's dwelling, it's Christmas morning. Yeah, you're assuming
he's listening, and.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
He's not listening.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
He knows no chance. There is no chance that that
man is listening. Time now for the Insta Trivia. They've
had many greats over the years, but this person blank
is the forty nine Ers franchise leader in career fourth
quarter touchdown passes. That is the insta trivia. What is
the answer, and let's see if anybody knows the correct answer?
Joe Friday guess by courtesy Flusher j T. O'Sullivan a
(36:38):
Niner legend from Late Night Drug Tester Doodie Hawser, mdef
and Bean boot Maker, Bob Niner legend John Brody guest
by Midnight Walker Joe Montana from Matt the Warrior Raider,
Rays fan, Bobby Winia, mister nice Guy, Steve Spurry, the
old ball coach from Stevie Meatballs in Florida, Jed who
fled slamming the Monster Energy Energy Drinks from Milkman Mike
(37:01):
in Colorado. Eddie, do you have an answer? Eddie?
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Yes, it's former forty nine er legend Steve Bono.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
This is a different forty nine er legend, this guy.
He had a very crished performance, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Jeff oh my cousin, Jeff.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yes, right, Jeff Garcia a thirty five to fourth quarter touchdown.
It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 4 (37:24):
To the third degree, This is one big fan gets graill.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Man Chris Collinsworth didn't interview the other day, talking about
the Cowboys and their America's Team title, he said, it
doesn't matter what the Cowboys record is. If NBC had
their choice, they'd do seventeen Dallas Cowboys games.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Is he right? Yeah? And same with Fox, NBC, CBS,
The Dallas Cowboys of the gold standard. Every network fights
for Cowboy games. Fox is number one in the ratings
every year because they get the most Cowboy games the
Dallas Cowboys. It doesn't matter if they blow or not.
People watch the Cowboys and record numbers. So he's absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Next, Caleb Williams says he hasn't decided whether or not
he will return, whether or not he'll enter the twenty
twenty four NFL Draft. He said it'll be a in
the moment decision at the end of the year if
he'll return to USC Ben Why even say this when
there's almost no chance he comes back for a senior year.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Well, there is a chance because if nil money, you're
getting paid. And the word on the street is he
doesn't want to play for the Arizona Cardinals, so if
they get the number one pick, he can say go
pound saying I ain't going to Arizona, which is a
douchebag move, but he can do it. So it's really
about manipulating the draft, is what it's about. And so
that's the leverage he has. I don't like it, but
we've seen Eli Manning and other people do it. Next
(38:38):
Peyton Manning did it, by the way, going back to Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Next, Jets rookie wide receiver Jerome Cap went viral for
his impersonation of Eminem during the team talent show featured
on Hard Knocks. If FSR did a company talent show,
what would your act be, Ben?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
So, I would do impersonations. I would impersonate a Buddhist monk.
I would get on stage, I would sit and say nothing.
And that's what I would do, and I would win.
By the way, you feel like this, just like I
won this. I just want this and
