Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb B two. Our two is off and running.
We head to the Twin Cities where the Vikings are
in the news. Why is Minnesota trying to beat the
clock on Justin Jefferson's contract? Get it done before the
season begins? And what do you make of the Jonathan
Taylor trade conversations said to be the Dolphins, Broncos and
(00:25):
mystery team? And how much stock do you put in
Aaron Donald being nonchalant about possibly leaving the Rams and
playing for his hometown team.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
The Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
We'll talk about that as well right now here. It
is our number two. To pay the man or not
to pay the man.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
We are in the air everywhere just a j as.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
We are with you till you turn the radio off
or whatever device you're listening to coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond all the beast and forcefully powerful
microphones of fsre emmnating live from the Swing as we
attempt to appeal to Swing voters. We are broadcasting live
(01:23):
from the tyrak dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers
tyre raq dot com. The way that tire buyings should
be to pay the man, or not pay the man,
or stop is in Minnesota, NFL wise, the Vikings expected
(01:48):
to be a middling team. They could be a playoff
team though in that division Lions and Vikings and then
you've got the Bears and Packers after that. But the
Vikings making some headlines your last new cycle. If you
didn't see this, maybe not. We learned the Vikings are
making an extended effort to sign star receiver Justin Jefferson
(02:09):
to a mega Mega MEGAMEGA contract before the NFL season begins. Oh,
by the way, the NFL season begins a week from Sunday,
well actually a week from Thursday if you're Kansas City
or Detroit. Now, Jefferson has not talked about this publicly.
He hasn't gone on the record saying that he wants
X amount of money, and like some ma of these
(02:30):
other NFL players that moan and complain about their contract,
Jefferson has not done that. He's been tight lipped on this,
and the story is he's such a great leader. He
does not want to lead a destruction. Okay, how do
you like them apples? So let us discuss the question
regarding this. Why are the Vikings at the eleventh hour
(02:52):
trying to beat the clock on a Justin Jefferson contract.
So I've got curve, jigsaw, puzzle and yinser and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make some Irish coffee. Is what we're going
to make wonderful this time of the year. So number
(03:16):
one Minnesota has really no choice here, no real choice.
Now they could be a bunch of douchebags and not
to give them the man the money. But Justin Jefferson
has something over the heads.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Of the Vikings. He's good. He's really really good, the
cream of the crop.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
And you're talking about the top three receiver in the NFL.
And when you're the top three at your position, you
are profitable. Your bank account is going to blow up.
That's how it works. And so the Vikings that this
is the right thing to do. If they actually get
it done, they technically do have the option of going
(03:56):
yellow light.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Now what is the yellow light?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The yellow light is to slow down, you proceed with caution,
you prepare to stop. The option is available, it should
not be played here. Minnesota already picked up justin Jefferson's
fifth year option, So that means, if my math is correct,
he's got two seasons left on the contract. But these
(04:19):
massive contracts, it's just the way of the world, right,
It's the cost of doing business. And you look at
the PPI, the player price index, if you will.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We made that up, but it's sky.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
High, right, And you're always attempting to get in front
of the curve, the inflation curve in this particular case,
and you want to whip inflation now. And salaries keep
going up, up, up, in a way, and so Jefferson
is expected to reset the wide receiver market, and not
just the wide receiver market.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
The word is.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
That Jefferson is going to be the highest paid non
quarterback in the NFL. That that's the contract he's in
the to get with all the accomplishments he's had, and
within a couple of seasons. Though, the reason you try
to get ahead of the curve on this, you pay
Jefferson now, you give him, say a five year contract,
and then two years from now, it looks like a
much better deal because the TV money keeps going up.
(05:18):
Chi Ching, Chiching, Chiching. The NFL's got gambling money now,
they've found new revenue streams. It's just it's insanity how
much money they have to play with, and so they
filter that money down to the players. They get a
percentage of it, and so the salarycap goes up. It's
malor math, But my favorite math is malor math. Now
(05:39):
page two here, let's go to Indianapolis and today today
is the day deadline day for the Horseshoes. Are long
saga going to come to an end? At least that
as if you believe the chatter out of Indianapolis conflicting reports,
(06:00):
Today's the day Jonathan Taylor's departure from the Colts is
going to be anyone's guess whether it happens or not.
But we're hearing the latest chatter is that the Dolphins
and Broncos and a mystery tape, Mysterke tape, a Mysterke
tape interested in Jonathan Taylor, the disgruntled malcontent running back
(06:24):
there in Indiana. Each club is supposedly willing to give
him a market rate contract. So the market rate for
a top notch running back. Am I wrong on this?
I believe it's twelve million dollars? I bumped those numbers up.
Those are rookie numbers. That's what Sequon Barkley got from
the Giants and Jacob's got from the Raiders. So twelve million.
So the question here what do you make of the
(06:46):
latest revelations and the Jonathan Taylor trade conversation. So this
is a jigsaw puzzle. But the problem with the jigsaw
puzzle is you've almost got it done, but there's a
piece miss here. And my experience with the puzzle, you
cannot complete the puzzle without having all the pieces. Now,
(07:06):
why is there a puzzle piece missing? Because of these
conflicting reports. That's why it's kind of obvious.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Here.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You've got the Colts who are leaking that there's no
good offer. There's no offer here, so it doesn't look
like a trade's gonna happen. And then you've got Taylor's posse,
his agent, who is leaking that there's a lot of interest.
There's multiple teams.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And there's a mystery tape.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
As a mystery tape that is interested here very vague reference.
When you toss a mystery team out. That's normally like
a baseball gossipy thing. There's a mystery team there. And
my experience, I like to quote the great poet Jayscoop
that that is often what's known as bullpucky is what
(07:50):
that is. When somebody says mystery team, they're just making
that up. There's very rarely actually a mystery team. So
that's just the.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Way it is.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
But this whole story is at the oh Mercy Nurse
of jim Irsay, and jim Irsay is a very interesting case.
He's a human kaleidoscope if you will, and you don't know,
maybe he wakes up later on. He might be a
wait right now, Papa, listen to us. Jim Irsay is
a nocturnal guy. But whenever he gets up there or
(08:20):
say and he'll say, which side of the bed does
he get out of? Does he get out of the
side of the bed I want to get rid of
Taylor and get some draft picks, or does he get
out of the other side of the bed and say, no,
I'm not going to trade that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
We're gonna keep him.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
There is a scenario where the Colts trade Jonathan and
they say goodbye to and we're gonna get rid of you.
You're gone, Taylor's gone, and then they sign a different
running Kareem Hunt late of the Browns and Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
All right, final stop.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Let's go to La La Land where there has been
a noise about Aaron Donald, the star defensive tackle of
the Rams. Is he the next player to leave Los Angeles?
And there was a story that connected him to the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Kind of an obvious connection that he went
(09:09):
to pitt He's from that part of the country, and
so the Steelers are a better team right now than
the Rams. And Aaron Donald's getting a little long in
the tooth, So is there a connection there now? Donald
supposedly chimed in according to Peter King, if you didn't
see this, Peter King tells us that Aaron Donald does
not have a quote burning desire to play for the
(09:32):
Pittsburgh football team.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So how much stock do you.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Put in Aaron Donald having a rather non chalant approach
about playing for the Steelers? So I put zero zero
stock in this particular story. And my rebuttal is are
you gullible? Are you gullible? Did you expect Aaron Donald
(09:59):
less than a A couple weeks away from the start
of the NFL season to declare that he does not
want to play for the Rams and he would like
to be friends with Steely mcbeam. Did you expect that
to happen and get paid a He's getting paid a
king's ransom from the Rams. Now we mentioned Donald born
and bred in Pittsburgh and played college ball at pitt
(10:21):
He is a yinzer through and through yoi and double
yoi as they used to say back back in the day.
But playing right there at the confluence where the Mahangahila
and the Alleghany form the Ohio River, you could see it.
It's made for television storybook ending. The Steelers have a
good defense, but they had Aaron Donald in there. The
(10:42):
Rams are teetering on the brink of sucking, and that
means that Donald's long term future is an open book
at this point. And if you look at the fine
print on Aaron Donald's contract, there is an out in
the contract after this upcoming season, So the Rams could
say bye to Aaron Donald and get out of the
(11:05):
contract after this season, which makes it more likely if
that were the case and the Rams are going to
be a middling team, that they would or worse, they
would get rid of Aaron Donald. It is the Ben

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Got mascot madness and a small programming change. We'll get
to those stories coming up. We began with a Hodgepodge
of NFL Goodness, Justin Jefferson and the Vikings talking about
a mega contract extension. Aaron Donald could he end up
with Eddie's Pittsburgh Steelers? Is that a possibility downplayed? According
(13:42):
to Peter King, he downplayed that possibility. And Jonathan Taylor.
Today is the day. Today is the big day, whether
or not Taylor gets traded or not. Firkkat says, what
is the programming change? Is Alexa going to handle these
sports updates from now on when Eddie's out? Uh No,
We're going to bring in a chimpanzee to handle the
(14:04):
news updates when Eddie's away.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So we've got we've got a chimp.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
We're trying to debate whether we want one from the
San Diego Zoo or the La Zoo. We might get
one from the Bronx ou So I'm not sure which one. Yeah,
we're not We're not positive on that Midnight Walker from Syracuse.
So it says so my Vikings are going to give
Justin Jefferson the big money. Good for them. As a
fan of this team for forty five years, I don't
think it'll make a difference. Jefferson Moss Carter so many
(14:31):
Hall of Fame players, zero super Bowls, He says, with
an angry mad red faced emoji, very young. You know
when you go the red faced mooji, you're angry, angry, angry.
Let's go to the phones. We have a guy casing
a golden ticket. So he goes to the.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Front of the line, and that would be Jed who
fled Golden Hello, Jed.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Jonathan Taylor should have made his name. Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
He's got enough money contracting one of these celebrity video apps,
Tim Allen to come with him and make a YouTube
video of all the coaches that passed on him. They're like, hey,
kem am, I going to get signed this week. He
goes and called the video. Yes, called the video food
(15:18):

Speaker 2 (15:21):

that the mind of Jed who had You're an artist?

I know what either one of those means. Do Are
you called? Are you? I'm not saying you better not
be calling me a rainbow fantas all. I'm saying time ship.
I don't think anyone about man fostat my hatreds. Has
anyone ever attempted a ban on the baseball in the
game of baseball? No matdie, no matter how many beanballs
have been hurled. No why it's an anaheimate object. Our
(15:52):
government has what we call negative rights. Those are things
they cannot touch. Our Second Amendment, as far as I'll go,
is a you can not be thinkerd is And you
know what I mean, the being. They're gonna come after
my left arm. Dude, They're gonna come after your left arm.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
You're stepping all over me. Would make your mind up?
Make your mind up.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
I just want I just want a jam put. I
don't want you. I don't want you to sink in
nature because you're you're jealous of my creative mind.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Dude, I am I I mean, I'm not creative. I
have no creative ability. I have none. And that's why
I'm here every night.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Sanity and insanity are the rooms and people's brains, dude,
and most people stay in the room of sanity, but
I have fully cake because the door off the hinges
in between them, and most of the time I ventured
back in the insanity room. And you don't want to
do the drugs I had to do to get this
creative being, trust me on that.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
No, definitely not. I thank you.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I'm gonna I'm gonna let the gold medal rug user.
And there's no doubt representing America, y'all go the care
all right.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, well, if they start that Olympic thing, you're good
to go on that. Remember promoter, we talked about the
story a couple of weeks ago. There's a promoter who's like, hey,
I can you can have the Olympics where everyone's on
steroids and be pds and all that.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Why not the programming note. So I got the call
from the boss. I was minding my own business. Now,
I thought, boy, maybe the boss heard the show and
I was in trouble. So I did respond to the boss.
But it turns out there there's some shuffling going on.
Here programming wise, and they asked me if I would
(17:32):
be willing to sit in with Rob Parker or Rob Parker.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Rob Parker but this is.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Big wow, not on Rob Shore. Not that Rob show
is not big time. But I was asked whether or
not I would be willing to sit in for Colin
Cowherd on his show, which is you know, that's rare
fight here, that's like the most highest paid guy in ray.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
Are you even allowed near the Fox lot?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
No, well, I'm not allowed near the Colin Cowherd microphone.
So I was asked to fill in. Now this this
will only be on radio, This will not be on television,
only on radio. But I have been thinking that I've
been asked to fill in, and I pointed out that,
you know, normally at that time, I have not heard
I've never heard calling Cowherd show because I'm sleepy. That's
(18:15):
when I sleep. I sleep when he's on to me,
he's the overnight guy. Don't tell him that. But they've
asked me to fill in, and so I said sure,
why not? And as a result of that, they said, well,
you need to get some sleep. So I will be
away from this watchtower tomorrow. I will not be here.
No God, please no no, but no, no, You'll be
(18:39):
happy to know I demanded. I was not requested. I
demanded to do a double shift on Wednesday into Wednesday night.
So and not that I had no other option, but
I will. I will be doing two shows. I will
be doing the Cowherd show from noon until three o'clock
Eastern nine to noon in the West, and with Rob
(19:01):
I'm a woman, and then I will be taking a nap,
and then I will be doing the overnight show.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I'm a little moist right now. And Eddie, you will
be You'll still be here, right You're none.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yes, I am here, and I think the no.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Show will be in here as well, I believe, is
that right?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
That's my understanding. Yes, no, God, please no show.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
So there will be no show tomorrow in this time
and then I that's just the way it is. Anyway,
there will be a show, but it's the no show.
Shall be a no show. There will be no show.
That will be the no show. But anyway, so that's
the that's the note. So normally that there's a rule
if people cinnamon, if you take a day off and
(19:47):
it's not a Monday or a Friday, something's gone terribly wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
That's normally the rule. I can't remember the last time
I showered.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So if you take a Monday or a Friday, you're
just getting alonger weekend. But if you work Monday and
you work Tuesday and then you take Wednesday off, well,
what's going on? There's something something less to be off.
So that's the that's the deal on. I want to
let you know, so hopefully you'll be able to listen.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
To all that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Many people are sleeping at the at that time. Let's
go to Andre though, who is in the Commonwealth?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Hello? Andre?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
What's going on?
Speaker 9 (20:22):
Vince?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm certainly not sleeping, even though these supposed exports with
their analytics in baseball are sleeping. But it's good to
hear that you're adjusting the sleep schedule to go in
there and be with mister Rob Parker. The Pride of
New York leavies from Brooklyn to do the herd. We're
gonna get some some great football takes, you know, going
(20:44):
into the season.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
You're gonna be thought.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I thought Rob was from from near Shay Stadium what
it used to be Shaye Stadium there and in Queens.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Okay, stay corrected. It's from the Big Apple. But we'll
say Queen's you know, big big baseball fans.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
The King of Queens, Rob Parker, all of famer.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Rob park to me, you know if you thought.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
The media is Rob Parker.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But Ben, before we get to analytics and how they're
trying to destroy that game, this is almost like you
know what I mean, when we had on HBO in
the early two thousands the Sopranos followed up by the
wire because in my view, you have the new look Undisputed,
which blasted off the screen today, bringing in Michael Irvin
the playmaker, and Richard Sherman and Keishawn Johnson also around
(21:28):
in skid Bayle. You want to talk about playmakers around
at QB. And then after that we have Ben Mallan
Rob Parker together.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Forget about it.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
This is a sports take, a sports debate, sports take,
the greatest thing ever to happen to that.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
They might have to consider how they do the scheduling
after this. I think it's going to be a bonanza.
But that's to baseball. Ben, this is just preposterous. As
you said, you get hurt when you're expecting to get hurt.
That's when injuries come, when you're anticipating injuries. And that's
what this entire load management analytics nonsense. I gotta get
Willis again. School hasn't started, Ben.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Who he's walking his dog right now. It's three thirty
morning walking. Does anyone ever say what are you doing here?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Like?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
What are you walking around doing here?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Why are you yelling while walking your dog?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
He's trying to get the dog's attention. Man, he's you know,
I know it's like saying.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
That's what his neighbors are asking, why are you yelling
into your phone while walking the dog.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He's doing a national radio appearance.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Is what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That's exactly. And did they better appreciate the mallord Milicia.
That's what they're gonna learn. Secondly, you know, I'm taking
advantage of this nice weather. You've got a year around here. Ben,
This is like you know, winter is coming here in
New England. Okay, So this is this is one. Even
if it wasn't I wasn't on your show, I would
be out here getting all this good weather before and
it's supposed to be. The farmers Are Almanac predicted a
tough winter we had. We had light winter. So I'm
not a huge snow snow person, but it's supposed to
(22:52):
be a tough winter. Back to the point, Ben, listen,
we got to stop the madness with these analytics. With
these guys, you get hurt when you're anticipating getting hurt,
you know what I mean, Like back in the awesome
eighties when we go out there and play till the
lights came on and they can sell down your old man.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But but but, Andrea. The other thing about analytics, I mean,
they try, they tried this. It's not working, so do
something different.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
This is you have to. But they won't admit it.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
These people are so arrogant they won't admit Hey, this
whole babying pitchers thing is not quite working out. So well,
maybe we should try something else and actually have them
pitch a bunch of innings. All right, make sure you
pick up and your dog poops there, Andre, you gotta
pick that up, Okay, don't leave that.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
First of all. What we do first of all is
we walk around the house where I can see the experiments.
Then I can, you know, use the shovel and get
it word me. We don't, we don't, we don't do that.
Then so we walk around the house.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Are you taking well?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Are you are you in a back alley or something
like this, or do we where you're walking?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I'm in suburbia.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I'm in suburbia here.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Then we got long streets, you know what I mean?
Or touch the connections. So but we walk around the house.
I don't do that non sense. We walk around the house. First,
you do your business. Then I put in this shovel.
You know, we got the marre, all the rest of
that stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:59):

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Brian Finley is very excited because we have the opening
day of action at the US Open there in New York,
a couple of big names moving on easily in the
first round. You have the top seed on the women's
side Ingasuan Tech, and know that Djokovic is back at
the US Open. Memory is not allowed in the country
because of COVID. The JAB police got them. So he's back.
(25:50):
Apparently he doesn't need to have that and he's your
number two seed. He rolled in his first match there.
But there was one upset of notes twenty seventeen US
Open tain notes Sloan Stevenson losing on day one in
three sets.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Now, I've never been to that tennis tournament, but.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
You've never been to any tennis tournament.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Years years ago, Eddie, though I was.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
The Dodgers stayed at the Grand Hyatt right over Grand
Central Station and a bunch of the tennis players that's
where they were staying. So there were like people with
rackets walking all and there's so many there's a lot
of like tons of amateurs too. It's not and we
you talk about the top ranked people, but there's a
bunch of people that aren't famous at all. They're just
on the back courts there that are playing tennis.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Not the main Arthur Ash court.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
There no big state the back where there's seven people
watching them.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
That's that's that's what's going on, and.

(27:08):
An NFL mascot has gone viral because of a mere photo? Yeah,
it's the This is the unofficial mascot of what used
to be the San Diego Chargers. I forget where they
play now, but the mascot known as Boltman has skyrocketed
(27:30):
up the charts now, oh all com dot all of
this because of a photo the Pro Football Hall of
Fame social media team sent out over the weekend, and
they sent out a photo of Boltman. Now, if you
were described Boltman, he's wearing a Charger number one jersey
(27:51):
and he has.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
What's that character? I'm trying to think who has face?
Least war's a mask? Boltman? There was like a nineteen
nineties character.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Well, you're gonna have to give me a little bit
more than that for me to help you out.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
It's like a massive grin with like a is.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It was it Max Headroom or something that.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Yes, Max Headroom. Yeah, it's got that. I've got that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You know who that is.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
I do remember, yes in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
So it's kind of like that, but is it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
And he's got this before your time, coop, But then
it's got he's got that kind of muscle suit on.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Anyway, so this is direct that looks like that looks
pretty similar, thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Uh So, this guy Boltman was at the Hall of
Fame paying his respects to Junior stay out, and this
went viral. It was very odd, right, I mean, with
all the things to send out, why would you send
a photo out of.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You know, the guy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
He's a a great celebrity fan, but he's a fake,
you know, just a guy.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
He's very bizarre, solemnly standing in front of the face
of Junior.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It was.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Get it on one knee, honoring man who.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
So what do you think the internet did? Of course
the Internet took this and ran with it. So now
there are people the photoshop Boltman at different like memorials
and the nine to eleven memorial. There's different events in
US history.
Speaker 8 (29:06):
Is at the Vietnam Wall Memorial.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
There's that one.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
There's one I saw of him standing in front of
the Blockbuster Video store, paying his respects to Blockbuster Video. So, Eddie,
you're a celebrity Charger. Well, you're married to a celebrity
Charger fan. What's the reaction like in the Charger fan
community here, Eddie? That Boltman who I think I actually
met years ago. If it's the same guy, I don't know.
If it isn't that probably is. Didn't he Maybe it's not?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Though?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Didn't Boltman like sell the Boltman?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Get up?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Well, first of all, I have not heard anything about
the Boltman things. You're uneducated at the bolt missus Garcia
and I see her afternoon tomorrow. We end that's going
on with that. But I think you're right man, I
think there well, as I recall, he was offering to
sell the Boatman the Boatman the Boltman costume, but I
(29:56):
think his asking price was way too highs iconic, it's
a I believe he ended up not selling it because
no one was willing to pay the money.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
For it, yoked, so he kept it. Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 8 (30:10):
Tall foam, you know.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Chicks dig the phone, you know, that's what they like.
I think I don't know what's it?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What's like?
Speaker 7 (30:16):
Did the did the sale come with the salary of
being bolt Man.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
He is, No, he has no salary. He's not officially
he's not.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
He's not like he's a fan.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
No, he's a fan mascot.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Yeah, barrel Man just a super he's like the uh
he's like that wolf guy for the Chiefs who got
arrested for robbing Bell.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah. I don't know if he's a criminal.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But okay, so that makes it. I see, now that's
why it's odd.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yes, okay, Well then they had remember the guy in
Minnesota that had the get up and yeah, the Viking guy. Yeah,
and then he wanted yeah, and then they just they
didn't want to pay him or whatever.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
He wanted a lot of money. No, we don't need you.
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
The NFL does honor these like super fans. I think
one of the guys for the Detroit Lions. I think
his name's crack Man. He keeps getting invited. His name
is Kracuola.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
It's not as impressive as but he's always invited to
like drafts and stuff.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
These guys are always up there like it's it's weird.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I don't know when the NFL marketing wants to bring
these these guys in and stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
They had a I believe they have a fan display
at the Hall of Fame. Different fans have been elected.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Which should you shouldn't They should have that at the Hall.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
You know, you're trying to get fans to go there
to support the you know the history of the NFL,
history of football, so you might as well do that
and any other celebrity fans you can. Well, in Minnesota,
I met not the guy obviously they got you know,
left the Vikings, but we had the Malor meet and
greet in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
There was a guy there that had a Viking shield on.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Well.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Of course the Raiders have multiple ones, the Gorilla and
that violator guy.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Do the Commanders still have all those guys who put
on like hog faces and dress up and dresses.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
They're probably all dead.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Did the Patriots have those guys with the muskets? They
are those on the payroll, The guys with the muskets
that dress.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Up in the.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Really the guys in the colonial costumes?
Speaker 7 (32:10):
About uh fireman?
Speaker 8 (32:14):
Did he retires several times?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
It's not easy. It's very stressful to be a celebrity fan.
Clipper Darrel almost went to the Mavericks. I know what
it's like. You know, there's a lot of pressure when
you're a celebrity. What Clipper Darrel almost went to the Mavericks. Yeah,
Mark Cuban, he was a free agent super fan. Well,
Mark Cuban told Clipper Darrell at one point, hey, you
know I want you you know, you're a great fan
or whatever. I forget exact I'm paraphrasing, but I want
you to you know, I'd love to have you with
(32:38):
the Mavericks. So Clipper Darrell took that literally and went
to Dallas to interview for a job as a like
the celebrity fan of the Mavericks. But then he realized
to come back to the Clippers, he needed.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
To be a click and he realized that terrible. We're
not going to pay him any money.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Just that might or might not be true. Eddy, But
you Clipper Darrel's clipper threw and through so he can't.
But Fireman, I remember Fireman had quit the Jets. He
got upset too.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Yeah, people were being mean to him during games or something.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, and so he had to he had a step away
and all that. But Fireman Head's probably been walking around
on cloud nine the last couple of months.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It was kissing the Jets ass the greatest Jets team.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Of all time and all that.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
It is the Bene Mather Show, Jets. We're gonna have

Speaker 2 (34:34):
That is coming up momentarily, but right now it is
the Insta Trivia. We are closing in on the start
of a brand new football season.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
How cool is that?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
And Blank has the most career receiving touchdowns in week
one among all active players. Again, Blank has the most
career receiving touchdowns in week one among all active players.
Fill in the blank? That is the question? What is
the answer? Captain Falcon? Guessed by Fergkat and Freddie says
(35:07):
the answer is Big Lou, He's on number two. Who
else do we have McDonald's character Mack Tonight from Cowboy Killer.
It's his answer. William Refrigerator Perry from Callaghan Tim in Michigan.
One of my early heroes, William Refrigerator Perry, a fat
man that was the biggest star around for a couple
(35:27):
of years. Who else do we have? The great One?
Wayne Gretzky from Shane of des Moines. Austin Hooper guests
by Double O Mexican in San Diego. Good have him
back listening live Alf the Alien Old Pier going with
Albert Einstein as his answer. Wally and Florida says Justin Jefferson,
Eddie Thundersticks Garcia guess by just Josh Jimmy Graham from
(35:50):
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, Cool mort going with Ray Ray
Johnson as his answer. Robin Minnesota knows all the good
dell there in the Twin City, says Rick Upchurch is
the answer, rod Tidwell from Johnny Ray and who do
we have? James Goldstein NBA fashion icon from Fields agreed, Eddie,
(36:11):
do you have an answer?
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Eddie? Is it Cleveland Brown Legend Amri Cooper?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
That is a great answer.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
This is ain't correct, No, it is none others not
Plexico Burros Guessed by Mark in Santa Monica. The correct
answer is the Andre Hopkins with nine week one touchdown receptions.
Now the Tennessee Titans the Andre Hopkins.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
It's maller how about that?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
grilled coop down loop Justin Cooper.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
On Sunday, Arizona, diamondback star Corbyn Carroll became only the
fourth rookie ever to have a twenty home run forty
stolen based season. Now, Benny's pretty much a lock for
NL Rookie of the Year. But who do you have
coming away with the award in the al so A
big part.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Of this is if you look at the standings, you've got,
I've got Gunner Henderson. I like the name Gunner Gunner
Henderson of the Orioles, who's got over twenty home runs,
over sixty RBIs. It's really neck and neck between him
and Josh Young. It looks like it should be Young,
but it's pronounced Young. Josh Young are the Rangers, who's
(37:19):
also a third baseman. I believe he's hurt right now.
And then in the back you've got Masataka Yoshida of
the Red Sox. But I'm going Gunner Henderson of the
top team in the American League, the Baltimore Orioles, as
your Rookie of the Year next.
Speaker 7 (37:34):
USC started off their season on Saturday night with a
fifty six to twenty eight victory against San Jose State.
The presumptive number one overall pick, Caleb Williams do for
two hundred and seventy eight yards and four touchdowns. Now, Ben,
there's only been ever one person to win two Heisman
trophies and it was done back in the mid seventies.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Could Caleb Williams be the second? Well, absolutely, Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
He's the favorite to win the Heisman this year, so
he would have to underperform to lose the Heismo, or
somebody has to pass him by. Now, there is usually
voter fatigue and all that. But if you look, it's
too early. We just had week zero and some guys
are gonna put up big numbers. Bo Nix is getting
a lot of attention at Oregon, Drake May at North Carolina,
guys like that.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Usually it's one of the quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
I guess everyone loves Sam Hartman now of Notre Dame
after that game against Navy. So but yeah, Caleb Williams
is at the front, He's in the pole position.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
Next, a two piece disco suit worn by Wilt Chamberlain
is going up for auction with a starting bid of
twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
But a lot of women touch that suit. Yes, And
what is the oldest item of clothing that you still wear? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:38):
So I have a lot of old radio merchandise. Old
Mersh radio stations used to have a lot of money
and they printed up T shirts and hats and things
like that, and I used to hoard all that free
stuff back in the day. So I think the oldest
piece of radio memorabilia that I have is a mighty
six to ninety baseball cap from the early nineties.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
I think that's it. How do we do, Kobolo? You pass?
That is a wing? You can put it on the bar. Yes,
whoo whoo, you can.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Put it on the bar.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, Thank you, Hawk Heroson.
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb B two. Our two is off and running.
We head to the Twin Cities where the Vikings are
in the news. Why is Minnesota trying to beat the
clock on Justin Jefferson's contract? Get it done before the
season begins? And what do you make of the Jonathan
Taylor trade conversations said to be the Dolphins, Broncos and
(00:25):
mystery team? And how much stock do you put in
Aaron Donald being nonchalant about possibly leaving the Rams and
playing for his hometown team.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
The Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
We'll talk about that as well right now here. It
is our number two. To pay the man or not
to pay the man.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
We are in the air everywhere just a j as.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
We are with you till you turn the radio off
or whatever device you're listening to coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond all the beast and forcefully powerful
microphones of fsre emmnating live from the Swing as we
attempt to appeal to Swing voters. We are broadcasting live
(01:23):
from the tyrak dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers
tyre raq dot com. The way that tire buyings should
be to pay the man, or not pay the man,
or stop is in Minnesota, NFL wise, the Vikings expected
(01:48):
to be a middling team. They could be a playoff
team though in that division Lions and Vikings and then
you've got the Bears and Packers after that. But the
Vikings making some headlines your last new cycle. If you
didn't see this, maybe not. We learned the Vikings are
making an extended effort to sign star receiver Justin Jefferson
(02:09):
to a mega Mega MEGAMEGA contract before the NFL season begins. Oh,
by the way, the NFL season begins a week from Sunday,
well actually a week from Thursday if you're Kansas City
or Detroit. Now, Jefferson has not talked about this publicly.
He hasn't gone on the record saying that he wants
X amount of money, and like some ma of these
(02:30):
other NFL players that moan and complain about their contract,
Jefferson has not done that. He's been tight lipped on this,
and the story is he's such a great leader. He
does not want to lead a destruction. Okay, how do
you like them apples? So let us discuss the question
regarding this. Why are the Vikings at the eleventh hour
(02:52):
trying to beat the clock on a Justin Jefferson contract.
So I've got curve, jigsaw, puzzle and yinser and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make some Irish coffee. Is what we're going
to make wonderful this time of the year. So number
(03:16):
one Minnesota has really no choice here, no real choice.
Now they could be a bunch of douchebags and not
to give them the man the money. But Justin Jefferson
has something over the heads.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Of the Vikings. He's good. He's really really good, the
cream of the crop.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
And you're talking about the top three receiver in the NFL.
And when you're the top three at your position, you
are profitable. Your bank account is going to blow up.
That's how it works. And so the Vikings that this
is the right thing to do. If they actually get
it done, they technically do have the option of going
(03:56):
yellow light.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Now what is the yellow light?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The yellow light is to slow down, you proceed with caution,
you prepare to stop. The option is available, it should
not be played here. Minnesota already picked up justin Jefferson's
fifth year option, So that means, if my math is correct,
he's got two seasons left on the contract. But these
(04:19):
massive contracts, it's just the way of the world, right,
It's the cost of doing business. And you look at
the PPI, the player price index, if you will.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We made that up, but it's sky.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
High, right, And you're always attempting to get in front
of the curve, the inflation curve in this particular case,
and you want to whip inflation now. And salaries keep
going up, up, up, in a way, and so Jefferson
is expected to reset the wide receiver market, and not
just the wide receiver market.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
The word is.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
That Jefferson is going to be the highest paid non
quarterback in the NFL. That that's the contract he's in
the to get with all the accomplishments he's had, and
within a couple of seasons. Though, the reason you try
to get ahead of the curve on this, you pay
Jefferson now, you give him, say a five year contract,
and then two years from now, it looks like a
much better deal because the TV money keeps going up.
(05:18):
Chi Ching, Chiching, Chiching. The NFL's got gambling money now,
they've found new revenue streams. It's just it's insanity how
much money they have to play with, and so they
filter that money down to the players. They get a
percentage of it, and so the salarycap goes up. It's
malor math, But my favorite math is malor math. Now
(05:39):
page two here, let's go to Indianapolis and today today
is the day deadline day for the Horseshoes. Are long
saga going to come to an end? At least that
as if you believe the chatter out of Indianapolis conflicting reports,
(06:00):
Today's the day Jonathan Taylor's departure from the Colts is
going to be anyone's guess whether it happens or not.
But we're hearing the latest chatter is that the Dolphins
and Broncos and a mystery tape, Mysterke tape, a Mysterke
tape interested in Jonathan Taylor, the disgruntled malcontent running back
(06:24):
there in Indiana. Each club is supposedly willing to give
him a market rate contract. So the market rate for
a top notch running back. Am I wrong on this?
I believe it's twelve million dollars? I bumped those numbers up.
Those are rookie numbers. That's what Sequon Barkley got from
the Giants and Jacob's got from the Raiders. So twelve million.
So the question here what do you make of the
(06:46):
latest revelations and the Jonathan Taylor trade conversation. So this
is a jigsaw puzzle. But the problem with the jigsaw
puzzle is you've almost got it done, but there's a
piece miss here. And my experience with the puzzle, you
cannot complete the puzzle without having all the pieces. Now,
(07:06):
why is there a puzzle piece missing? Because of these
conflicting reports. That's why it's kind of obvious.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Here.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You've got the Colts who are leaking that there's no
good offer. There's no offer here, so it doesn't look
like a trade's gonna happen. And then you've got Taylor's posse,
his agent, who is leaking that there's a lot of interest.
There's multiple teams.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And there's a mystery tape.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
As a mystery tape that is interested here very vague reference.
When you toss a mystery team out. That's normally like
a baseball gossipy thing. There's a mystery team there. And
my experience, I like to quote the great poet Jayscoop
that that is often what's known as bullpucky is what
(07:50):
that is. When somebody says mystery team, they're just making
that up. There's very rarely actually a mystery team. So
that's just the.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Way it is.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
But this whole story is at the oh Mercy Nurse
of jim Irsay, and jim Irsay is a very interesting case.
He's a human kaleidoscope if you will, and you don't know,
maybe he wakes up later on. He might be a
wait right now, Papa, listen to us. Jim Irsay is
a nocturnal guy. But whenever he gets up there or
(08:20):
say and he'll say, which side of the bed does
he get out of? Does he get out of the
side of the bed I want to get rid of
Taylor and get some draft picks, or does he get
out of the other side of the bed and say, no,
I'm not going to trade that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
We're gonna keep him.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
There is a scenario where the Colts trade Jonathan and
they say goodbye to and we're gonna get rid of you.
You're gone, Taylor's gone, and then they sign a different
running Kareem Hunt late of the Browns and Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
All right, final stop.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Let's go to La La Land where there has been
a noise about Aaron Donald, the star defensive tackle of
the Rams. Is he the next player to leave Los Angeles?
And there was a story that connected him to the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Kind of an obvious connection that he went
(09:09):
to pitt He's from that part of the country, and
so the Steelers are a better team right now than
the Rams. And Aaron Donald's getting a little long in
the tooth, So is there a connection there now? Donald
supposedly chimed in according to Peter King, if you didn't
see this, Peter King tells us that Aaron Donald does
not have a quote burning desire to play for the
(09:32):
Pittsburgh football team.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So how much stock do you.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Put in Aaron Donald having a rather non chalant approach
about playing for the Steelers? So I put zero zero
stock in this particular story. And my rebuttal is are
you gullible? Are you gullible? Did you expect Aaron Donald
(09:59):
less than a A couple weeks away from the start
of the NFL season to declare that he does not
want to play for the Rams and he would like
to be friends with Steely mcbeam. Did you expect that
to happen and get paid a He's getting paid a
king's ransom from the Rams. Now we mentioned Donald born
and bred in Pittsburgh and played college ball at pitt
(10:21):
He is a yinzer through and through yoi and double
yoi as they used to say back back in the day.
But playing right there at the confluence where the Mahangahila
and the Alleghany form the Ohio River, you could see it.
It's made for television storybook ending. The Steelers have a
good defense, but they had Aaron Donald in there. The
(10:42):
Rams are teetering on the brink of sucking, and that
means that Donald's long term future is an open book
at this point. And if you look at the fine
print on Aaron Donald's contract, there is an out in
the contract after this upcoming season, So the Rams could
say bye to Aaron Donald and get out of the
(11:05):
contract after this season, which makes it more likely if
that were the case and the Rams are going to
be a middling team, that they would or worse, they
would get rid of Aaron Donald. It is the Ben

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Got mascot madness and a small programming change. We'll get
to those stories coming up. We began with a Hodgepodge
of NFL Goodness, Justin Jefferson and the Vikings talking about
a mega contract extension. Aaron Donald could he end up
with Eddie's Pittsburgh Steelers? Is that a possibility downplayed? According
(13:42):
to Peter King, he downplayed that possibility. And Jonathan Taylor.
Today is the day. Today is the big day, whether
or not Taylor gets traded or not. Firkkat says, what
is the programming change? Is Alexa going to handle these
sports updates from now on when Eddie's out? Uh No,
We're going to bring in a chimpanzee to handle the
(14:04):
news updates when Eddie's away.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So we've got we've got a chimp.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
We're trying to debate whether we want one from the
San Diego Zoo or the La Zoo. We might get
one from the Bronx ou So I'm not sure which one. Yeah,
we're not We're not positive on that Midnight Walker from Syracuse.
So it says so my Vikings are going to give
Justin Jefferson the big money. Good for them. As a
fan of this team for forty five years, I don't
think it'll make a difference. Jefferson Moss Carter so many
(14:31):
Hall of Fame players, zero super Bowls, He says, with
an angry mad red faced emoji, very young. You know
when you go the red faced mooji, you're angry, angry, angry.
Let's go to the phones. We have a guy casing
a golden ticket. So he goes to the.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Front of the line, and that would be Jed who
fled Golden Hello, Jed.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Jonathan Taylor should have made his name. Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
He's got enough money contracting one of these celebrity video apps,
Tim Allen to come with him and make a YouTube
video of all the coaches that passed on him. They're like, hey,
kem am, I going to get signed this week. He
goes and called the video. Yes, called the video food
(15:18):
time instead of tool time.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Ben, Well, you are you are so creative the skill
that the mind of Jed who had You're an artist?
You're an artisan is what you are.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I'm an artist or an artisan. Indeed, I'm not sure
I know what either one of those means. Do Are
you called? Are you? I'm not saying you better not
be calling me a rainbow fantas all. I'm saying time ship.
I don't think anyone about man fostat my hatreds. Has
anyone ever attempted a ban on the baseball in the
game of baseball? No matdie, no matter how many beanballs
have been hurled. No why it's an anaheimate object. Our
(15:52):
government has what we call negative rights. Those are things
they cannot touch. Our Second Amendment, as far as I'll go,
is a you can not be thinkerd is And you
know what I mean, the being. They're gonna come after
my left arm. Dude, They're gonna come after your left arm.
They're coming after all the guns.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Okay, what do you want? You can play?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You complain when I engage, You complain when I don't engage.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
All you do is can play.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
If I sit here and just let you rent, you
get upset, and then when I step on you say
are here you go again?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You're stepping all over me. Would make your mind up?
Make your mind up.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
I just want I just want a jam put. I
don't want you. I don't want you to sink in
nature because you're you're jealous of my creative mind.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Dude, I am I I mean, I'm not creative. I
have no creative ability. I have none. And that's why
I'm here every night.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Sanity and insanity are the rooms and people's brains, dude,
and most people stay in the room of sanity, but
I have fully cake because the door off the hinges
in between them, and most of the time I ventured
back in the insanity room. And you don't want to
do the drugs I had to do to get this
creative being, trust me on that.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
No, definitely not. I thank you.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I'm gonna I'm gonna let the gold medal rug user.
And there's no doubt representing America, y'all go the care
all right.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, well, if they start that Olympic thing, you're good
to go on that. Remember promoter, we talked about the
story a couple of weeks ago. There's a promoter who's like, hey,
I can you can have the Olympics where everyone's on
steroids and be pds and all that.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Why not the programming note. So I got the call
from the boss. I was minding my own business. Now,
I thought, boy, maybe the boss heard the show and
I was in trouble. So I did respond to the boss.
But it turns out there there's some shuffling going on.
Here programming wise, and they asked me if I would
(17:32):
be willing to sit in with Rob Parker or Rob Parker.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Rob Parker but this is.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Big wow, not on Rob Shore. Not that Rob show
is not big time. But I was asked whether or
not I would be willing to sit in for Colin
Cowherd on his show, which is you know, that's rare
fight here, that's like the most highest paid guy in ray.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
Are you even allowed near the Fox lot?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
No, well, I'm not allowed near the Colin Cowherd microphone.
So I was asked to fill in. Now this this
will only be on radio, This will not be on television,
only on radio. But I have been thinking that I've
been asked to fill in, and I pointed out that,
you know, normally at that time, I have not heard
I've never heard calling Cowherd show because I'm sleepy. That's
(18:15):
when I sleep. I sleep when he's on to me,
he's the overnight guy. Don't tell him that. But they've
asked me to fill in, and so I said sure,
why not? And as a result of that, they said, well,
you need to get some sleep. So I will be
away from this watchtower tomorrow. I will not be here.
No God, please no no, but no, no, You'll be
(18:39):
happy to know I demanded. I was not requested. I
demanded to do a double shift on Wednesday into Wednesday night.
So and not that I had no other option, but
I will. I will be doing two shows. I will
be doing the Cowherd show from noon until three o'clock
Eastern nine to noon in the West, and with Rob
(19:01):
I'm a woman, and then I will be taking a nap,
and then I will be doing the overnight show.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I'm a little moist right now. And Eddie, you will
be You'll still be here, right You're none.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yes, I am here, and I think the no.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Show will be in here as well, I believe, is
that right?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
That's my understanding. Yes, no, God, please no show.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
So there will be no show tomorrow in this time
and then I that's just the way it is. Anyway,
there will be a show, but it's the no show.
Shall be a no show. There will be no show.
That will be the no show. But anyway, so that's
the that's the note. So normally that there's a rule
if people cinnamon, if you take a day off and
(19:47):
it's not a Monday or a Friday, something's gone terribly wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
That's normally the rule. I can't remember the last time
I showered.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So if you take a Monday or a Friday, you're
just getting alonger weekend. But if you work Monday and
you work Tuesday and then you take Wednesday off, well,
what's going on? There's something something less to be off.
So that's the that's the deal on. I want to
let you know, so hopefully you'll be able to listen.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
To all that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Many people are sleeping at the at that time. Let's
go to Andre though, who is in the Commonwealth?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Hello? Andre?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
What's going on?
Speaker 9 (20:22):
Vince?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm certainly not sleeping, even though these supposed exports with
their analytics in baseball are sleeping. But it's good to
hear that you're adjusting the sleep schedule to go in
there and be with mister Rob Parker. The Pride of
New York leavies from Brooklyn to do the herd. We're
gonna get some some great football takes, you know, going
(20:44):
into the season.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
You're gonna be thought.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I thought Rob was from from near Shay Stadium what
it used to be Shaye Stadium there and in Queens.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Okay, stay corrected. It's from the Big Apple. But we'll
say Queen's you know, big big baseball fans.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
The King of Queens, Rob Parker, all of famer.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Rob park to me, you know if you thought.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
The media is Rob Parker.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But Ben, before we get to analytics and how they're
trying to destroy that game, this is almost like you
know what I mean, when we had on HBO in
the early two thousands the Sopranos followed up by the
wire because in my view, you have the new look Undisputed,
which blasted off the screen today, bringing in Michael Irvin
the playmaker, and Richard Sherman and Keishawn Johnson also around
(21:28):
in skid Bayle. You want to talk about playmakers around
at QB. And then after that we have Ben Mallan
Rob Parker together.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Forget about it.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
This is a sports take, a sports debate, sports take,
the greatest thing ever to happen to that.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
They might have to consider how they do the scheduling
after this. I think it's going to be a bonanza.
But that's to baseball. Ben, this is just preposterous. As
you said, you get hurt when you're expecting to get hurt.
That's when injuries come, when you're anticipating injuries. And that's
what this entire load management analytics nonsense. I gotta get
Willis again. School hasn't started, Ben.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Who he's walking his dog right now. It's three thirty
morning walking. Does anyone ever say what are you doing here?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Like?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
What are you walking around doing here?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Why are you yelling while walking your dog?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
He's trying to get the dog's attention. Man, he's you know,
I know it's like saying.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
That's what his neighbors are asking, why are you yelling
into your phone while walking the dog.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He's doing a national radio appearance.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Is what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That's exactly. And did they better appreciate the mallord Milicia.
That's what they're gonna learn. Secondly, you know, I'm taking
advantage of this nice weather. You've got a year around here. Ben,
This is like you know, winter is coming here in
New England. Okay, So this is this is one. Even
if it wasn't I wasn't on your show, I would
be out here getting all this good weather before and
it's supposed to be. The farmers Are Almanac predicted a
tough winter we had. We had light winter. So I'm
not a huge snow snow person, but it's supposed to
(22:52):
be a tough winter. Back to the point, Ben, listen,
we got to stop the madness with these analytics. With
these guys, you get hurt when you're anticipating getting hurt,
you know what I mean, Like back in the awesome
eighties when we go out there and play till the
lights came on and they can sell down your old man.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But but but, Andrea. The other thing about analytics, I mean,
they try, they tried this. It's not working, so do
something different.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
This is you have to. But they won't admit it.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
These people are so arrogant they won't admit Hey, this
whole babying pitchers thing is not quite working out. So well,
maybe we should try something else and actually have them
pitch a bunch of innings. All right, make sure you
pick up and your dog poops there, Andre, you gotta
pick that up, Okay, don't leave that.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
First of all. What we do first of all is
we walk around the house where I can see the experiments.
Then I can, you know, use the shovel and get
it word me. We don't, we don't, we don't do that.
Then so we walk around the house.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Are you taking well?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Are you are you in a back alley or something
like this, or do we where you're walking?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I'm in suburbia.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I'm in suburbia here.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Then we got long streets, you know what I mean?
Or touch the connections. So but we walk around the house.
I don't do that non sense. We walk around the house. First,
you do your business. Then I put in this shovel.
You know, we got the marre, all the rest of
that stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
We'll put it.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
You know, not a farmer, but you know, I learned.
And then we go for a walk around the neighborhood.
Once he's he's handled his business.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
BacT to baseball, But we gotta I gotta go on.
I love you, I gotta go. I gotta clock.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I'm going on. No, he's got a lot to say on.
Guy's got a lot of takes. He's being held back
by the take police here. But Andrew's got a ton
of stuffs.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
That's so.

Brian Finley is very excited because we have the opening
day of action at the US Open there in New York,
a couple of big names moving on easily in the
first round. You have the top seed on the women's
side Ingasuan Tech, and know that Djokovic is back at
the US Open. Memory is not allowed in the country
because of COVID. The JAB police got them. So he's back.
(25:50):
Apparently he doesn't need to have that and he's your
number two seed. He rolled in his first match there.
But there was one upset of notes twenty seventeen US
Open tain notes Sloan Stevenson losing on day one in
three sets.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Now, I've never been to that tennis tournament, but.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
You've never been to any tennis tournament.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Years years ago, Eddie, though I was.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
The Dodgers stayed at the Grand Hyatt right over Grand
Central Station and a bunch of the tennis players that's
where they were staying. So there were like people with
rackets walking all and there's so many there's a lot
of like tons of amateurs too. It's not and we
you talk about the top ranked people, but there's a
bunch of people that aren't famous at all. They're just
on the back courts there that are playing tennis.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Not the main Arthur Ash court.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
There no big state the back where there's seven people
watching them.
Speaker 5 (26:42):

(27:08):
An NFL mascot has gone viral because of a mere photo? Yeah,
it's the This is the unofficial mascot of what used
to be the San Diego Chargers. I forget where they
play now, but the mascot known as Boltman has skyrocketed
(27:30):
up the charts now, oh all com dot all of
this because of a photo the Pro Football Hall of
Fame social media team sent out over the weekend, and
they sent out a photo of Boltman. Now, if you
were described Boltman, he's wearing a Charger number one jersey
(27:51):
and he has.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
What's that character? I'm trying to think who has face?
Least war's a mask? Boltman? There was like a nineteen
nineties character.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Well, you're gonna have to give me a little bit
more than that for me to help you out.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
It's like a massive grin with like a is.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It was it Max Headroom or something that.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Yes, Max Headroom. Yeah, it's got that. I've got that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You know who that is.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
I do remember, yes in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
So it's kind of like that, but is it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
And he's got this before your time, coop, But then
it's got he's got that kind of muscle suit on.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Anyway, so this is direct that looks like that looks
pretty similar, thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Uh So, this guy Boltman was at the Hall of
Fame paying his respects to Junior stay out, and this
went viral. It was very odd, right, I mean, with
all the things to send out, why would you send
a photo out of.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You know, the guy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
He's a a great celebrity fan, but he's a fake,
you know, just a guy.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
He's very bizarre, solemnly standing in front of the face
of Junior.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It was.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Get it on one knee, honoring man who.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
So what do you think the internet did? Of course
the Internet took this and ran with it. So now
there are people the photoshop Boltman at different like memorials
and the nine to eleven memorial. There's different events in
US history.
Speaker 8 (29:06):
Is at the Vietnam Wall Memorial.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
There's that one.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
There's one I saw of him standing in front of
the Blockbuster Video store, paying his respects to Blockbuster Video. So, Eddie,
you're a celebrity Charger. Well, you're married to a celebrity
Charger fan. What's the reaction like in the Charger fan
community here, Eddie? That Boltman who I think I actually
met years ago. If it's the same guy, I don't know.
If it isn't that probably is. Didn't he Maybe it's not?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Though?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Didn't Boltman like sell the Boltman?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Get up?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Well, first of all, I have not heard anything about
the Boltman things. You're uneducated at the bolt missus Garcia
and I see her afternoon tomorrow. We end that's going
on with that. But I think you're right man, I
think there well, as I recall, he was offering to
sell the Boatman the Boatman the Boltman costume, but I
(29:56):
think his asking price was way too highs iconic, it's
a I believe he ended up not selling it because
no one was willing to pay the money.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
For it, yoked, so he kept it. Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 8 (30:10):
Tall foam, you know.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Chicks dig the phone, you know, that's what they like.
I think I don't know what's it?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What's like?
Speaker 7 (30:16):
Did the did the sale come with the salary of
being bolt Man.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
He is, No, he has no salary. He's not officially
he's not.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
He's not like he's a fan.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
No, he's a fan mascot.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Yeah, barrel Man just a super he's like the uh
he's like that wolf guy for the Chiefs who got
arrested for robbing Bell.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah. I don't know if he's a criminal.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But okay, so that makes it. I see, now that's
why it's odd.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yes, okay, Well then they had remember the guy in
Minnesota that had the get up and yeah, the Viking guy. Yeah,
and then he wanted yeah, and then they just they
didn't want to pay him or whatever.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
He wanted a lot of money. No, we don't need you.
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
The NFL does honor these like super fans. I think
one of the guys for the Detroit Lions. I think
his name's crack Man. He keeps getting invited. His name
is Kracuola.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
It's not as impressive as but he's always invited to
like drafts and stuff.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
These guys are always up there like it's it's weird.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I don't know when the NFL marketing wants to bring
these these guys in and stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
They had a I believe they have a fan display
at the Hall of Fame. Different fans have been elected.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Which should you shouldn't They should have that at the Hall.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
You know, you're trying to get fans to go there
to support the you know the history of the NFL,
history of football, so you might as well do that
and any other celebrity fans you can. Well, in Minnesota,
I met not the guy obviously they got you know,
left the Vikings, but we had the Malor meet and
greet in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
There was a guy there that had a Viking shield on.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Well.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Of course the Raiders have multiple ones, the Gorilla and
that violator guy.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Do the Commanders still have all those guys who put
on like hog faces and dress up and dresses.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
They're probably all dead.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Did the Patriots have those guys with the muskets? They
are those on the payroll, The guys with the muskets
that dress.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Up in the.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Really the guys in the colonial costumes?
Speaker 7 (32:10):
About uh fireman?
Speaker 8 (32:14):
Did he retires several times?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
It's not easy. It's very stressful to be a celebrity fan.
Clipper Darrel almost went to the Mavericks. I know what
it's like. You know, there's a lot of pressure when
you're a celebrity. What Clipper Darrel almost went to the Mavericks. Yeah,
Mark Cuban, he was a free agent super fan. Well,
Mark Cuban told Clipper Darrell at one point, hey, you
know I want you you know, you're a great fan
or whatever. I forget exact I'm paraphrasing, but I want
you to you know, I'd love to have you with
(32:38):
the Mavericks. So Clipper Darrell took that literally and went
to Dallas to interview for a job as a like
the celebrity fan of the Mavericks. But then he realized
to come back to the Clippers, he needed.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
To be a click and he realized that terrible. We're
not going to pay him any money.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Just that might or might not be true. Eddy, But
you Clipper Darrel's clipper threw and through so he can't.
But Fireman, I remember Fireman had quit the Jets. He
got upset too.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Yeah, people were being mean to him during games or something.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, and so he had to he had a step away
and all that. But Fireman Head's probably been walking around
on cloud nine the last couple of months.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It was kissing the Jets ass the greatest Jets team.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Of all time and all that.

Fill in the blank? That is the question? What is

(35:07):
the answer is Big Lou, He's on number two. Who
else do we have McDonald's character Mack Tonight from Cowboy Killer.
It's his answer. William Refrigerator Perry from Callaghan Tim in Michigan.
One of my early heroes, William Refrigerator Perry, a fat
man that was the biggest star around for a couple
(35:27):
of years. Who else do we have? The great One?
Wayne Gretzky from Shane of des Moines. Austin Hooper guests
by Double O Mexican in San Diego. Good have him

Eddie Thundersticks Garcia guess by just Josh Jimmy Graham from

Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, Cool mort going with Ray Ray
Johnson as his answer. Robin Minnesota knows all the good
dell there in the Twin City, says Rick Upchurch is
the answer, rod Tidwell from Johnny Ray and who do

(36:11):

Speaker 4 (36:12):

Speaker 1 (36:16):
That is a great answer.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
This is ain't correct, No, it is none others not
Plexico Burros Guessed by Mark in Santa Monica. The correct
answer is the Andre Hopkins with nine week one touchdown receptions.
Now the Tennessee Titans the Andre Hopkins.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
It's maller how about that?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
grilled coop down loop Justin Cooper.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
On Sunday, Arizona, diamondback star Corbyn Carroll became only the
fourth rookie ever to have a twenty home run forty
stolen based season. Now, Benny's pretty much a lock for
NL Rookie of the Year. But who do you have
coming away with the award in the al so A
big part.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Of this is if you look at the standings, you've got,
I've got Gunner Henderson. I like the name Gunner Gunner
Henderson of the Orioles, who's got over twenty home runs,
over sixty RBIs. It's really neck and neck between him
and Josh Young. It looks like it should be Young,
but it's pronounced Young. Josh Young are the Rangers, who's
(37:19):
also a third baseman. I believe he's hurt right now.
And then in the back you've got Masataka Yoshida of
the Red Sox. But I'm going Gunner Henderson of the
top team in the American League, the Baltimore Orioles, as
your Rookie of the Year next.
Speaker 7 (37:34):
USC started off their season on Saturday night with a
fifty six to twenty eight victory against San Jose State.
The presumptive number one overall pick, Caleb Williams do for
two hundred and seventy eight yards and four touchdowns. Now, Ben,
there's only been ever one person to win two Heisman
trophies and it was done back in the mid seventies.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Could Caleb Williams be the second? Well, absolutely, Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
He's the favorite to win the Heisman this year, so
he would have to underperform to lose the Heismo, or
somebody has to pass him by. Now, there is usually
voter fatigue and all that. But if you look, it's
too early. We just had week zero and some guys
are gonna put up big numbers. Bo Nix is getting
a lot of attention at Oregon, Drake May at North Carolina,
guys like that.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Usually it's one of the quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
I guess everyone loves Sam Hartman now of Notre Dame
after that game against Navy. So but yeah, Caleb Williams
is at the front, He's in the pole position.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
Next, a two piece disco suit worn by Wilt Chamberlain
is going up for auction with a starting bid of
twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
But a lot of women touch that suit. Yes, And
what is the oldest item of clothing that you still wear? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:38):
So I have a lot of old radio merchandise. Old
Mersh radio stations used to have a lot of money
and they printed up T shirts and hats and things
like that, and I used to hoard all that free
stuff back in the day. So I think the oldest
piece of radio memorabilia that I have is a mighty
six to ninety baseball cap from the early nineties.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
I think that's it. How do we do, Kobolo? You pass?
That is a wing? You can put it on the bar. Yes,
whoo whoo, you can.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Put it on the bar.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, Thank you, Hawk Heroson.
