Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bur two hour two
And what is your takeaway from Jimmy Butler calling out
the NBA demanding them to investigate the Milwaukee Bucks for
tampering with Damian Lillard? Also, how did pat Riley not
(00:22):
end up getting dame time for Miami? And will the
Bucks become a glamour team? Will they become a glamour team?
We'll discuss that as well. It's all coming your way

(01:33):
be in our lead. This hour comes from South Beach.
When you got a good story, you gotta go with
the story. Play the hits, mom Man, play the hits
as one of our bosses like to stay likes to
say and stay away from the third rail. Now that
is where not the third rail, but South Beach. That
is where the Heat are right now licking their wounds.
(01:53):
I assume you've been paying attention to all this. The
Miami Heat collateral damage from the stutter down under was
actually north. Dame Lillard goes from the Trailblazers to the
Bucks and a three team deal involving the suns they
got mixed in. Jimmy Buckets has now entered the chat.
He assumed the position that he would be mono amano
(02:19):
with none other than Dame Lillard. The rumor had been
bouncing around for a good amount of time, So what
did he have to say? Did you hear? No, you're
not locked in on the socials. It's bad job, buddy.
You gotta be locked in on the social So that's you.
Jimmy Buckets entered the chat. He posted a video that
he recorded by himself, as most people do, and Jimmy
(02:42):
Butler had some thoughts on the Dame Liller trade. He
announced that the NBA needs to quote look into the
Bucks for tampering. He said, you all didn't hear it
from me, and that was it. Now. His teammate Tyler Hero,
who had been rumored to be traded as part of
(03:03):
a Dame Lillard deal, he shared the post and replied
what he said, I'll have what he's having, all right,
So let us discuss the question. What is your takeaway
from Jimmy Butler calling out the NBA to investigate the
Milwaukee Box for tampering with Dame Lillard. So I have
cheestone light TikTok and a steam engine locomotive. Chu chew. Yeah,
(03:29):
I got all those things and and away we go.
So we'll put them all together and we're gonna make
cheese curts, which Dame Lillard can get whenever he wants.
And they're delicious. They're absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Now uh.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And he can go to that that that cheese castle
in Kenosha. You can go over there have all the
cheese and sausage and all that he wants. So number one,
the pain.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Is ree.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Jimmy Butler was like a kid and anticipating a PlayStation
five for Christmas. He woke up early, ran downstairs, opened
the box, and instead got a Commodore sixty four. And
he was like, mob Dad, not fair. Yeah, this is
a blow to blow to the heat Heat culture, to
blow to Jimmy Butler and his self esteem. And so
(04:19):
I imagine in that cartoon bubble over my big head.
I imagine Jimmy Butler bringing back that old Keystone Light
commercial with the bitter beer face when he found out
about this trade.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Now, as for the tampering allegation, this.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Is a battle that I have fought over the years,
and I have given up on. The NBA rulebook clearly
states that an owner, executive, coach, even players in some
other sports, players are allowed to tamper, not not anyone else,
but that any member of the organization cannot speak to
a player signed by another franchise in the hopes of
persuading them to join the team the person's working for.
(05:00):
But it's like an old law that is rarely enforced.
You know, in Colorado right now, it is technically illegal.
It's against the law to take a bath without a
doctor's prescription. So an old law goes back to the
old Western Days of Colorado. It's on the Bucks right now.
When's the last time you heard of anyone getting arrested
(05:20):
for taking a bath without having a doctor's note?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
That happens, But technically it's a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So even if the Bucks are caught red handed and
there are text messages directive it if they have like
the Hunter Biden laptop, right, if they have all, all
doesn't matter. Right, They'll merely get slapped on the wrist.
That's all that's gonna happen to the Bucks.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Now pace to it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
When you take a couple steps back. How embarrassing? How
embarrassing is this for the Miami Pro Basketball team? And
how did pat Riley not get Dame Lillard? So on
this one, you've got to check the charts and the grafts.
Because pat Riley thought the Blazers were bluffing. He was
(06:08):
caught flat footed. Now, Ryles is the old gangster of
the NBA with palm trees and jet skis.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
He figured that he had all the leverage.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
You cannot imagine that Damian Lillard would sign with Milwackie.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
What are you doing? But surprise, surprise, surprise.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And this is another example of the TikTok being right
the famous meme as you can see, the more you
f around, the more you're gonna find out. And Ryles
and the Heat thought they could do it. They fed around,
they twiddled their thumbs during the last couple of months,
and now they can watch Dame Lillard play in Wisconsin.
(06:49):
The other part of this, which has not been talked
about too much, is the chatter over the last week
or so had been that the Heat were holding out
because they think they can get Yanni when he leaves
the Bucks, that that was their backup play. So you're
talking about killing two birds with one stone. A Dame
time joins the Bucks. That would seem to harpoon a
(07:12):
dental combo from leaving anytime soon. But you never know,
he could become a wanderer and travel down the dusty
Winnemucker road. All right, final point. So let's turn the
page back to Milwaukee as we continue our in depth
team coverage of the Dame Lither trade. So as the
dust settles in Wisconsin, everyone's been chirping about the Milwaukee
(07:36):
basketball team. Will the Bucks become dare I say, a
glamorous team? We're in, right, We're all in on the Bucks.
Right now, we're excited, We're all in, But will the
Bucks become a glamorous team with Dame? Literally the answer
is null. And I'm judging this based on the traditional definition,
(07:58):
the clinical definition of a modern glamour team NBA clamor
is about entertainers. It's about musicians, smoozy courtside. That ain't
gonna happen unless you consider random brewers players and packer
players to.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Be amazing entertainers. And maybe you do, maybe maybe you do.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I don't. I don't, And so we're not gonna see
this regularly. And the problem is there's a supply chain
shortage of a list celebrities in Milwaukee. Now, last I checked,
I remember this a couple of years ago. I believe
Eryl Crowe, who I don't think is any longer a
big celebrity, but her son liked the Bucks, so she
claimed to like the Bucks. Chance the Rapper and that
(08:46):
guy John Carpenter from Halloween and those other scary movies.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
That's about it, right, And.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I guess the is it the daughter of the Bucks owner,
she's like an internet star or something. I don't know.
Are you a star of you? You know, a pretty
girl that puts your photos on the internet. I guess
there's a lot of stars there because all I see
is that anyway, in terms of pure basketball, Ah, you
are a sexy lady. In terms of pure basketball.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Though.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The Bucks they're not a glamour team, but they are
going to be the steam engine locomotive.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
They will be the trendy train.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
For who Puritans.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
There's a difference, right, not glamorous but trendy.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And you'll be coming around the mountain when she comes right,
giving headaches to the Celtics and the Nuggets and all
these other teams until Damian Lillard hurts his ankle and
Giannis says he wants to go play somewhere in Saudi Arabia.
Then it all goes to hell. But until then, until then,
two thumbs up. You're in really good shape. What could
(09:44):
possibly go wrong? It is the Ben Mallard Show. As
we press on further and further into the overnight and
the Kings move I teased this last hour. Now the
Kings move here comes from former NFL punter Marquette King,
who randomly announced that he believes the reason that he
(10:07):
was let go by the Raiders the reason he was
like go by the Raiders is because he gave the
owner of the Raiders a noggie. Say what, Yeah, Mark
Davis was given a nouggie by Marquet King. Now he
said he might have been parting a little bit, and
(10:27):
he told the story. He said that Mark Davis used
to tell him how he would get treated back in
the day when he was the spawn of Al and
Al was still around, and so Mark kit King said
he was trying to show mister Davis there a nicer
version of that. So he gave a.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Little nuggy and then was.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Fired from the Raiders and he's been trying to get
back in the NFL for years. Hasn't quite worked out.

Justin Cooper, and he's at u h Bronco fan Otani
A Bronco fan Otani at l I from the tyrak
dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So think about this for a few seconds. Eddy, Would
you rather have the Swifty minute or a very popular
internet influencer giving this show a ringing endorsement? You think
about that. I'll I'll come back in a sec. Guy
Shane from des Moines writes, and it says to answer Fergcat, No,
you don't have to be an Iowan to enjoy the
(13:05):
Iowa Minute, but you do have to be a brain
dead loser to enjoy Fergcat. Yeah, Shane and des Moines.
A very mellow guy, but he hates everyone else. That's
part of the show wild just about every I think
he likes like one or two people. That's it Midnight Walker.
Everyone else he hates. Midnight Walker writes in from Syracuse.
He says, Dame went to the Bucks and the heat
(13:26):
were left out. Now Jimmy Buckets has begun to pout.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Will the Bucks lift the trophy.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
At the end of the day, The Denver Nuggets might
have something to say. Who else we have? Late Night
drug tester writes it he That guy's a poet and
you don't even know it, Jimmy Butler says Late Night
Drug Tester. If Jimmy Butler talks conspiracy theories of a
larger than life, people in the Pacific Northwest, forget Dame
and talk about dB Cooper. Oh, I love the dB
(13:52):
Cooper story. Man, that is a great story. I've watched
so many documentaries on dB Cooper. What a great story.
This is a I that jumped out of the back
they used to the old days the plane, some of
the planes you'd get in in the back, and this
guy parachuted out with a bunch of money. We know
if he lived, No, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Nobody knows.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
There's a bunch of people that have on their deathbed
claimed to be dB Cooper, but nobody knows.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He got away with it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You got away with it. Craziness, crazies. And they changed
all the planes that I heard because of him. But
some people said, now they were going to do that anyway,
that they were just going in a different direction. Let's
see here was that up in Washington? Ben like, yeah,
the play was out of well, I think it was
over Oregon where they like somewhere with Oregon, near Idaho,
(14:39):
I think where they he jumped out of the plane.
But there was when planes got hijacked when I was
a kid. I remember stories about planes being hijacked on
like a regular basis. That's one thing you don't hear
too much about anymore, which is kind of good, right.
I think that's a good thing. I don't hear a
lot about that these days, that that's kind of gone away.
Andy says, who cares more Taylor Swift? And I got
(15:02):
a bunch of guys, like old dudes who are like,
what are you doing? You shouldn't be talking about Taylor Swift.
I don't tune in for Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I got David in Pennsylvania says Ben. Please don't start
this crap again with Taylor Swift. It's frigging everywhere. I
don't need it in my sports talk show. Ben, Please
no Taylor. That's what he said. People are angry. There's
a lot of a lot of rage rage over please
princess of our time here. Every generation has a pop princess.
(15:35):
He's the pop princess. Rory writes in says, come on, Ben,
who doesn't want to see David Bachtiari chugging beers at
Bucks games because we all know we don't see him
play for the Packers again, as he is secretly sitting
out the NFL season until they replace all field turfs
with real gress. I do like that conspiracy. We touched
(15:58):
on that a while back. We did, so, Eddie, have
you made your mind up? Eddie? Would you rather hear
the Swifty Minute or a popular internet influencer giving love
flowers to the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Well, this is a pretty easy choice. I'm gonna go
with uh, go with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It's the swift a minute and is the Swift?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Can we have both?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well we can't, actually can't, but I just kind of
get Eddie's opinion.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
That's a swifty minute. Now, this is only sixty seconds.
We will not go over sixty seconds. I promise the
Swifty Minute we are gonna get so many more. We
have no women other than like three that listen to
the show, and no other women. All women hate the show.
But this is gonna spike up the estrogen on the
show because they're gonna too. They're gonna scan the radio
like old school and here's Swift's name and.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Be like, oh my god, I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
So a Taylor Swift, it has been reported by TMZ,
will be in a tenance in New Jersey for Sunday
night football. Yeah, she's gonna be there her second consecutive game.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
How exciting is that?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Taylor Swift also in the news as the I love
this story the neighbors, the neighbor of Travis Travis Kelsey's gardener,
reported that Taylor Swift showed up to Travis Kelsey's house
in an army of black SUVs at roughly three in
the morning. Roughly three in the morning, early in Monday,
(17:29):
so we were on the air while maybe they were listening,
maybe Taylor was listening while she was driving in the
parade of black SUVs there to go over to Kelsey's house.
And according to the again this is you don't get
a better source than this, Travis Kelsey's neighbor's gardener posting
a video saying that Taylor left at about seven o'clock
(17:51):
on Monday. At seven o'clock on Monday.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Gun over a minute.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I'm not over a minute? Is is it true?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
On the week four edition of Bennie Versus the Penny
syndicated on Great TV stations across the country via NBC.
Will we get a Taylor Swift mention on Bennie Versus
the Penny developing hot dot dot dot, And that is
the Taylor Swift minute, Eddie, I got more. If you
(18:22):
want Taylor Swift, they're now reporting Taylor Swift is so
popular that she can sway the presidential election, that if
she gives an endorsement, she will sway democracy in America.
That the Swifties are all brainless, mindless robots. Whatever Taylor
(18:43):
Swift tells them to do, they will do. And but
I get another one, Eddie, I got more. How by
this I would I could elongate the Taylor Swift man.
I'll make it like the Iowa minutes a report, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
There is a.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Report that the Swifties are now baggling the Chiefs Kingdom
claiming that Taylor's Swift is the one that made Travis
Kelcey famous, and not vice versa Kelsey's podcast.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
That's where I draw a line.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Oh hold on it now, Travis Kelsey's podcast apparently the
number one podcast. I thought it was the fifth hour podcast.
But the number one podcast on the in the entire
Apple podcast world. So yeah, there it is.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's the swifty minute.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
The swifty two minutes and thirty five seconds.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's very swift.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Just let it, let it go, Eddie, all right, let
it go.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Just another lie from Ben.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Now, how about this popular internet influencer. And this is
kind of cool, Eddie. You know, we're trying to cross over.
You know, we're doing radio. We love radio. We're on
the internet as well, iHeart app and all these apps,
and people listen to the podcast, so we're on a
lot of different ways. But the Internet influencer amazing And
this week it was so cool. I got a message
(20:02):
from one of my friends. He used to live in Iowa.
He's a fan of the show. He lives in Kansas.
Now I lives in Kansas, and his name is Eric,
and he sent me this clip. He said, you're not
gonna believe this. This is amazing. But this guy is
a big time influencer. He's got a lot of followers,
(20:24):
he's a mover and shaker, and he gave an endorsement
to your show. So without further ado, I'm gonna play
this on the air right now. We'll give him a
little plug. He gave us a plug. Here it is.
Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Oh, good morning to all of you and happy Tuesday.
Welcome in to Mornings with Marcel and Friend. It's gonna
be a fantastic thirty minute show. Shouts to mister Ben Maller. Yes,
mister Ben Maller hosting a Fox Sports radio overnights and
now his called Benny and the Penny. That's why Benny
(21:04):
and a Penny won't take place on Fridays before every NFL, NBA,
out of even NHL and Major League Baseball games. Please
gamble responsibly. He was always not by Ben Maller by draftings.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
The draftings great that man, you're expanding it to all sports.
That's great news.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah. I don't think NBC knows that, but I'm up
all for it.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Says it's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I am more than willing to do more TV than
just the football season, Eddie. If you want to expand
this show, I am all about that action absolutely.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Uh man Alive.

the number one rated show and all the sports talks,
the Paully and Tony Fusco Show.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Now, the suits at Fox Sports Radio gave us this
ad time because they wanted us to tell you how
great our show is.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Why.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Yeah, Instead of us doing that, let's just let on
millions of fans do the talking.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, play the tape.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You don't know, crap about four own this crap.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
That's the wrong tape, wrong tape. Just forget that.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Look.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Listen to the Paul of Tony Fusco Show on the
iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
We started with the NBA, We close with the NBA,
and will Rudy Gay get one more season in the NBA?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
That's just the content.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Signs a one year deal with the Warriors to try
and compete for a roster spot if he makes the team.
Rudy Gay, Rudy Gay Store, Rudy Gay. We'll be playing
in his eighteenth season in the NBA. If you can
match out, We'll give you.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
More fun facts about too many Kamara Eddie because that's
better than Rudy.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yes, that's really weird of you, because and now you're
going on and on about a guy. It's very odd
by you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
He was a by you. He was raised in Brussels, Belgium.
Dy so he ate a lot of Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
When he was I don't believe that that's accurate.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
The Brussels sprout was named after Brussels. Yeah. Uh, let's
see here mentioned he played Shamanad high school and averaged
a double double his junior and senior year. So he
put up some some big numbers there. And now he's
part of the NBA and he's getting mentioned a.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Lot of airtime.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That's your fault. That's your fault.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, you brought his name up.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I did bring his name up because it's it's relevant
in the trade.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I try to condemn you bringing the name.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I know, and then you took it too far. It's
a weird move on your part.

Save at Progressive dot com. And here it is the
(24:10):
cost saving story that we have been monitoring the last
couple of weeks, and it appears that it is a
done deal. Now they're going forward this Michigan State officially
announcing they are firing mel Tucker with cause. All of
this in an effort to save close to eighty million dollars,
(24:30):
even though I don't believe the school's paying that money.
Most of it's coming from boosters, but I guess they
want to reallocate that money elsewhere to pay for better players.
But Meltucker on his way out, they're saying it's with cause.
Many other people pointing out that this is not exactly
why mel Tucker is getting let go, even though mel
(24:52):
Tucker was involved in.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
A phone sex huddle.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
The main problem here for mel Tucker is that they
expected to get Nick Saban two point zero and what
they have gotten at Old Sparty, what they have gotten
is twenty and fourteen. That's what they've got. And so
got off to a really good start, well, not the
(25:20):
first year that was a COVID year, but the first
full year for mel Tucker where they played a full season.
They were eleven and two. They won the Peach Bowl.
The Spartans they I think they they were a very
good running back. They were the top twenty five, I
believe top ten. I think at one point. I don't
know if they finished there. But anyway, Michigan State not
(25:41):
They're just not good.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
They're not well. They're not They're not where they.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Assumed they were. They were going to be right. They're
two and two now. They were two and oh with
mel Tucker lost their last couple of years. But if
the point is, if he had won a bunch and
they were playing for championships, then they would have found
a way to keep melt Tucker. They would have sent
him to some kind of sex rehab clinic.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
You give them therapy.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
We're done.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Something I do is something.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And not only is Michigan State oh and two since
they they got rid of mel Tucker, but they have
been absolutely destroyed. They have been outscored seventy two to
sixteen by Washington and Maryland the last two games. So
they give up seventy two points, which is just one
game for the Broncos, but for them, it's it's a
(26:30):
lot more, a lot more than that. It is the
Ben Malors Show as we are rolling, rolling, rolling on.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
And Ben, yes, yes, Iowa was saying, Michigan State plays
at Iowa under the lights this Saturday, and they will
give up seven points to the Hawkeyes.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So you're predicting a will it be seven, seven to three,
seven to three?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
How about seven to six.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Seven to six?
Speaker 7 (26:58):
I think Iowa once Notre Dame in the nineteen thirty
seven to six.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah, not a year now Kinnick won the Heisman.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Has Iowa ever in your life had a good offensive football? Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Half Really, I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Two thousand and two. Uh years ago, a generation ago.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
They've had some Okay, listen the last like Brian Farren's
under his watch, it's not been good. You know, they've
been okay forever he's been there, since he's been running
the offense since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Are we doing the Iowa minuty going back?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Chuck Long?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
We need Chuck Long, outdated resurd, please love Chuck.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
He could sling it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I mean, hey, what are you doing? I mean, first
year you give us that guy from the trade here,
Tomani Kamara, and now you do that. I mean, that's unbelievable.
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Anyway, it is the bed mashow.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Time now for the Insta trivia and we will have
coming up Mallor to the third degree. We'll get to
that coming up momentarily, but first the int trivia here
it is Blank has the highest rate of what they
call aggressive throws into tight windows. I always love aggressive
throws in the tight windows. This is a stat that
(28:07):
did not exist when I was a kid. Not that
there weren't aggressive throws into tight windows, but it didn't exist.
So Blank has the highest rate of aggressive throws into
tight windows so far during the twenty twenty three NFL season.
You know the answer to the Insterta trivia. Send me
a message on the X at Ben Mahlor. That's at
(28:31):
Ben Mahlor, and we'll give you the answer and we'll
have Mallor to the third of you again, Blank has
the highest rate of aggressive throws in the tight windows
so far during the twenty twenty three NFL season.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
That's the Insta trivia. The answer. We'll get to it
and we will do it.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Next.

(29:24):
new member at a time. At all I'm lettyrack dot Com,
Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
A time. Now four the install trivia, and we will
have coming up momentarily Mallard to the third degree. But first,
the Insta trivia a blatant attempt to get you to
listen a little bit longer, and it appears that it
has worked. So it's a little like Jedi mind hack
that we do from time to time. But here's the
(29:54):
Insta tribute. We go back to the well one more
time and NFL blank has the highest rate of aggressive
throws into tight windows. I love this, love this ridiculous
stat highest rate of aggressive throws in the tight windows.
So far during the twenty twenty three football season.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
What constitutes an aggressive throw? Is it certain velocity?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
You'd have to ask the nerds at the NFL, Eddie,
But that's where I got this from. Excuse me, nerds
are official NFL style. I would assume that Eddie, that
that means there's a defender right on the receiver with
guard or two. It makes sense, So I think that's
what okay.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
That anyway, Let's see, does anyone know the answer? Andy?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
He's going the Snowflake Dolphin. But Andy, the Bill's mafia guy,
really getting worked up into a lather for this game
with the Dolphins this weekend. I hope he's not disappointed
when the Dolphins win. Sirlely Scott going with Bono as
his answer. Beavis and butt Head from The Cowboy Killer
Late Night Drug Tester says, you are Grant Feur of
the Oilers, who is sixty one years old. Oh my god, wow,
(31:06):
all right, Stan marsh of the South Park Cows guess
by Milkman Mike in Colorado, Steve Trout legendary. That's a
good baseball card, by the way, mister nice guy, that's solid.
That's like mid to late seventies early eighties. Pretty good
Kyler Murray from Justin and Cincinnati. Kyler looking good. Is
(31:28):
he's modeling now that he's not playing for the Cardinals anymore.
Shane of des Moines going with Jackie Robinson. Ryan Leaf
from alf the Alien o Piner knock it Off. I
had Ryan Leaf on my podcast. I asked him about
the knock it off and he is still bitter and
broken twenty five years later about that. That sound by
who else do we have? Pete Vokeovich from Bay City, Tony.
(31:52):
That's his answer. Chuck Woolery doesn't get any fresher than that.
Chuck Woolery from the Main Truck of Steve bart Kowski
tossed out by Robin Minnesota. Ugly Kid Joe from Mark
Matthew Stafford from Pauli D. Kathy in Madison said Taylor
Swift around three point thirty in the morning. How about
(32:14):
Kathy with the Taylor Swift sex joke? TJ. Rubley from
Chris in Des Moines. Eke in Roso, Minnesota said, Zach
Wilson is the answer all right? Do you have an
answer Eddie to the Insta trivia question?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, let's go with Brett Farv.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Brett Farvara, Is it Brett farv That would be incorrect, Eddie.
According to the next gen NFL stats, Jordan Love of
your Green Bay Packers as the highest rate of aggressive
throws at the title wind go so far twenty nine
point two percent.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Number two.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Joshua Dobbs of the Cardinals, number three, Jimmy Garoppolo the Raiders,
followed by your guy, Kenny Pickett. Josh Allen's number five,
and Joe Burrow is number six, and you are number one,
And we are going to this it's Mallard. How about
that to the third degree.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
This is one big gets grilled, and.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
We bring in the connoisseur of Mallard of the third degree.
He's going to light up the scoreboard right now.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
The kopolo Steve Kerr hinted that Chris Paul will be
coming off the bench for the Warriors this upcoming season. Ben,
how do you think CP three will handle a backup
role for the first time in his career?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I have one word, sulk. He's going to sulk. Chris
Paul very proud man. He is a Hall of Famer.
I loved him, then I hated him because they didn't
win with Lob City, but he believes he is still
an elite player at his advanced age. He apparently did
not watch last season, and watch out for Cliff Paul
to spike Steve Kerrz coffee at Golden State practice.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
And CP three.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
He's going to pretend that he's fine with whatever role
they give him coming off the bench. But mark my words,
the first time the Warriors lose a couple of games,
he is going to raise a ruckus and he'll be
passive aggressive, and it's gonna be a story. It's gonna
be good talk radio, good talk radio for us. Next.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
There are four winless teams in the NFL right now,
and after this Sunday there will only be two as
the winless teams are matched up with each other this weekend.
Ben Ben, which heard which two teams are coming away
zero to four?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Well, Coop best you know. I have a TV show now.
It's called Benny Versus the Penny. It's on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday morning, and so I will be picking every
game against the spread this weekend. But I'm pretty confident
that those games will not be highlighted on the TV show,
considering that we're We're taping the TV show later today,
(34:51):
so I don't think those games will be there. But
let's just say that the teams that have the better
quarterbacks are the way I'm going. Coop, you can figure
that out however you want to figure that out. But
that's that's the way I'm going. But to tune in
on the boob tube to find out, all right, what's next?
Speaker 8 (35:07):
Gardner Minshew has been solid when having to step in
for Anthony Richardson, though Colt's head coach Shane Steichen said
that Richardson will be starter once again when he returns.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (35:17):
How much of a leash do you think Richardson has?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Oh, he's got the longest leash you can possibly have.
This entire season is dedicated to cultivating Anthony Richardson. Jim
Rsey admitted, short term pain, long term game. They want
to put this guy in the launching pad.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
So they got to play him.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
They got to take their lumps, and so he's gonna
play and they're trying to win games.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
How did we know you failed this edition? That is
a win, a win for.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Me, Thank you, win.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Goods to get again
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bur two hour two
And what is your takeaway from Jimmy Butler calling out
the NBA demanding them to investigate the Milwaukee Bucks for
tampering with Damian Lillard? Also, how did pat Riley not
(00:22):
end up getting dame time for Miami? And will the
Bucks become a glamour team? Will they become a glamour team?
We'll discuss that as well. It's all coming your way
right now here. It is our number two. Got a
case of those bucket blues? Well gom. In the beginning
(00:44):
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show, we.
Speaker 2 (00:47):

(01:33):
be in our lead. This hour comes from South Beach.
When you got a good story, you gotta go with
the story. Play the hits, mom Man, play the hits
as one of our bosses like to stay likes to
say and stay away from the third rail. Now that
is where not the third rail, but South Beach. That
is where the Heat are right now licking their wounds.
(01:53):
I assume you've been paying attention to all this. The
Miami Heat collateral damage from the stutter down under was
actually north. Dame Lillard goes from the Trailblazers to the
Bucks and a three team deal involving the suns they
got mixed in. Jimmy Buckets has now entered the chat.
He assumed the position that he would be mono amano
(02:19):
with none other than Dame Lillard. The rumor had been
bouncing around for a good amount of time, So what
did he have to say? Did you hear? No, you're
not locked in on the socials. It's bad job, buddy.
You gotta be locked in on the social So that's you.
Jimmy Buckets entered the chat. He posted a video that
he recorded by himself, as most people do, and Jimmy
(02:42):
Butler had some thoughts on the Dame Liller trade. He
announced that the NBA needs to quote look into the
Bucks for tampering. He said, you all didn't hear it
from me, and that was it. Now. His teammate Tyler Hero,
who had been rumored to be traded as part of
(03:03):
a Dame Lillard deal, he shared the post and replied
what he said, I'll have what he's having, all right,
So let us discuss the question. What is your takeaway
from Jimmy Butler calling out the NBA to investigate the
Milwaukee Box for tampering with Dame Lillard. So I have
cheestone light TikTok and a steam engine locomotive. Chu chew. Yeah,
(03:29):
I got all those things and and away we go.
So we'll put them all together and we're gonna make
cheese curts, which Dame Lillard can get whenever he wants.
And they're delicious. They're absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Now uh.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And he can go to that that that cheese castle
in Kenosha. You can go over there have all the
cheese and sausage and all that he wants. So number one,
the pain.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Is ree.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Jimmy Butler was like a kid and anticipating a PlayStation
five for Christmas. He woke up early, ran downstairs, opened
the box, and instead got a Commodore sixty four. And
he was like, mob Dad, not fair. Yeah, this is
a blow to blow to the heat Heat culture, to
blow to Jimmy Butler and his self esteem. And so
(04:19):
I imagine in that cartoon bubble over my big head.
I imagine Jimmy Butler bringing back that old Keystone Light
commercial with the bitter beer face when he found out
about this trade.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Now, as for the tampering allegation, this.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Is a battle that I have fought over the years,
and I have given up on. The NBA rulebook clearly
states that an owner, executive, coach, even players in some
other sports, players are allowed to tamper, not not anyone else,
but that any member of the organization cannot speak to
a player signed by another franchise in the hopes of
persuading them to join the team the person's working for.
(05:00):
But it's like an old law that is rarely enforced.
You know, in Colorado right now, it is technically illegal.
It's against the law to take a bath without a
doctor's prescription. So an old law goes back to the
old Western Days of Colorado. It's on the Bucks right now.
When's the last time you heard of anyone getting arrested
(05:20):
for taking a bath without having a doctor's note?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
That happens, But technically it's a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So even if the Bucks are caught red handed and
there are text messages directive it if they have like
the Hunter Biden laptop, right, if they have all, all
doesn't matter. Right, They'll merely get slapped on the wrist.
That's all that's gonna happen to the Bucks.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Now pace to it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
When you take a couple steps back. How embarrassing? How
embarrassing is this for the Miami Pro Basketball team? And
how did pat Riley not get Dame Lillard? So on
this one, you've got to check the charts and the grafts.
Because pat Riley thought the Blazers were bluffing. He was
(06:08):
caught flat footed. Now, Ryles is the old gangster of
the NBA with palm trees and jet skis.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
He figured that he had all the leverage.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
You cannot imagine that Damian Lillard would sign with Milwackie.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
What are you doing? But surprise, surprise, surprise.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And this is another example of the TikTok being right
the famous meme as you can see, the more you
f around, the more you're gonna find out. And Ryles
and the Heat thought they could do it. They fed around,
they twiddled their thumbs during the last couple of months,
and now they can watch Dame Lillard play in Wisconsin.
(06:49):
The other part of this, which has not been talked
about too much, is the chatter over the last week
or so had been that the Heat were holding out
because they think they can get Yanni when he leaves
the Bucks, that that was their backup play. So you're
talking about killing two birds with one stone. A Dame
time joins the Bucks. That would seem to harpoon a
(07:12):
dental combo from leaving anytime soon. But you never know,
he could become a wanderer and travel down the dusty
Winnemucker road. All right, final point. So let's turn the
page back to Milwaukee as we continue our in depth
team coverage of the Dame Lither trade. So as the
dust settles in Wisconsin, everyone's been chirping about the Milwaukee
(07:36):
basketball team. Will the Bucks become dare I say, a
glamorous team? We're in, right, We're all in on the Bucks.
Right now, we're excited, We're all in, But will the
Bucks become a glamorous team with Dame? Literally the answer
is null. And I'm judging this based on the traditional definition,
(07:58):
the clinical definition of a modern glamour team NBA clamor
is about entertainers. It's about musicians, smoozy courtside. That ain't
gonna happen unless you consider random brewers players and packer
players to.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Be amazing entertainers. And maybe you do, maybe maybe you do.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I don't. I don't, And so we're not gonna see
this regularly. And the problem is there's a supply chain
shortage of a list celebrities in Milwaukee. Now, last I checked,
I remember this a couple of years ago. I believe
Eryl Crowe, who I don't think is any longer a
big celebrity, but her son liked the Bucks, so she
claimed to like the Bucks. Chance the Rapper and that
(08:46):
guy John Carpenter from Halloween and those other scary movies.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
That's about it, right, And.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I guess the is it the daughter of the Bucks owner,
she's like an internet star or something. I don't know.
Are you a star of you? You know, a pretty
girl that puts your photos on the internet. I guess
there's a lot of stars there because all I see
is that anyway, in terms of pure basketball, Ah, you
are a sexy lady. In terms of pure basketball.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Though.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The Bucks they're not a glamour team, but they are
going to be the steam engine locomotive.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
They will be the trendy train.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
For who Puritans.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
There's a difference, right, not glamorous but trendy.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And you'll be coming around the mountain when she comes right,
giving headaches to the Celtics and the Nuggets and all
these other teams until Damian Lillard hurts his ankle and
Giannis says he wants to go play somewhere in Saudi Arabia.
Then it all goes to hell. But until then, until then,
two thumbs up. You're in really good shape. What could
(09:44):
possibly go wrong? It is the Ben Mallard Show. As
we press on further and further into the overnight and
the Kings move I teased this last hour. Now the
Kings move here comes from former NFL punter Marquette King,
who randomly announced that he believes the reason that he
(10:07):
was let go by the Raiders the reason he was
like go by the Raiders is because he gave the
owner of the Raiders a noggie. Say what, Yeah, Mark
Davis was given a nouggie by Marquet King. Now he
said he might have been parting a little bit, and
(10:27):
he told the story. He said that Mark Davis used
to tell him how he would get treated back in
the day when he was the spawn of Al and
Al was still around, and so Mark kit King said
he was trying to show mister Davis there a nicer
version of that. So he gave a.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Little nuggy and then was.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Fired from the Raiders and he's been trying to get
back in the NFL for years. Hasn't quite worked out.

Shane from des Moines writes, and it says to answer Fergcat, No,
you don't have to be an Iowan to enjoy the
(13:05):
Iowa Minute, but you do have to be a brain
dead loser to enjoy Fergcat. Yeah, Shane and des Moines.
A very mellow guy, but he hates everyone else. That's
part of the show wild just about every I think
he likes like one or two people. That's it Midnight Walker.
Everyone else he hates. Midnight Walker writes in from Syracuse.
He says, Dame went to the Bucks and the heat
(13:26):
were left out. Now Jimmy Buckets has begun to pout.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Will the Bucks lift the trophy.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
At the end of the day, The Denver Nuggets might
have something to say. Who else we have? Late Night
drug tester writes it he That guy's a poet and
you don't even know it, Jimmy Butler says Late Night
Drug Tester. If Jimmy Butler talks conspiracy theories of a
larger than life, people in the Pacific Northwest, forget Dame
and talk about dB Cooper. Oh, I love the dB
(13:52):
Cooper story. Man, that is a great story. I've watched
so many documentaries on dB Cooper. What a great story.
This is a I that jumped out of the back
they used to the old days the plane, some of
the planes you'd get in in the back, and this
guy parachuted out with a bunch of money. We know
if he lived, No, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Nobody knows.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
There's a bunch of people that have on their deathbed
claimed to be dB Cooper, but nobody knows.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He got away with it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You got away with it. Craziness, crazies. And they changed
all the planes that I heard because of him. But
some people said, now they were going to do that anyway,
that they were just going in a different direction. Let's
see here was that up in Washington? Ben like, yeah,
the play was out of well, I think it was
over Oregon where they like somewhere with Oregon, near Idaho,
(14:39):
I think where they he jumped out of the plane.
But there was when planes got hijacked when I was
a kid. I remember stories about planes being hijacked on
like a regular basis. That's one thing you don't hear
too much about anymore, which is kind of good, right.
I think that's a good thing. I don't hear a
lot about that these days, that that's kind of gone away.
Andy says, who cares more Taylor Swift? And I got
(15:02):
a bunch of guys, like old dudes who are like,
what are you doing? You shouldn't be talking about Taylor Swift.
I don't tune in for Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I got David in Pennsylvania says Ben. Please don't start
this crap again with Taylor Swift. It's frigging everywhere. I
don't need it in my sports talk show. Ben, Please
no Taylor. That's what he said. People are angry. There's
a lot of a lot of rage rage over please
princess of our time here. Every generation has a pop princess.
(15:35):
He's the pop princess. Rory writes in says, come on, Ben,
who doesn't want to see David Bachtiari chugging beers at
Bucks games because we all know we don't see him
play for the Packers again, as he is secretly sitting
out the NFL season until they replace all field turfs
with real gress. I do like that conspiracy. We touched
(15:58):
on that a while back. We did, so, Eddie, have
you made your mind up? Eddie? Would you rather hear
the Swifty Minute or a popular internet influencer giving love
flowers to the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Well, this is a pretty easy choice. I'm gonna go
with uh, go with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It's the swift a minute and is the Swift?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Can we have both?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well we can't, actually can't, but I just kind of
get Eddie's opinion.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
That's a swifty minute. Now, this is only sixty seconds.
We will not go over sixty seconds. I promise the
Swifty Minute we are gonna get so many more. We
have no women other than like three that listen to
the show, and no other women. All women hate the show.
But this is gonna spike up the estrogen on the
show because they're gonna too. They're gonna scan the radio
like old school and here's Swift's name and.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Be like, oh my god, I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
So a Taylor Swift, it has been reported by TMZ,
will be in a tenance in New Jersey for Sunday
night football. Yeah, she's gonna be there her second consecutive game.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
How exciting is that?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Taylor Swift also in the news as the I love
this story the neighbors, the neighbor of Travis Travis Kelsey's gardener,
reported that Taylor Swift showed up to Travis Kelsey's house
in an army of black SUVs at roughly three in
the morning. Roughly three in the morning, early in Monday,
(17:29):
so we were on the air while maybe they were listening,
maybe Taylor was listening while she was driving in the
parade of black SUVs there to go over to Kelsey's house.
And according to the again this is you don't get
a better source than this, Travis Kelsey's neighbor's gardener posting
a video saying that Taylor left at about seven o'clock
(17:51):
on Monday. At seven o'clock on Monday.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Gun over a minute.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I'm not over a minute? Is is it true?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
On the week four edition of Bennie Versus the Penny
syndicated on Great TV stations across the country via NBC.
Will we get a Taylor Swift mention on Bennie Versus
the Penny developing hot dot dot dot, And that is
the Taylor Swift minute, Eddie, I got more. If you
(18:22):
want Taylor Swift, they're now reporting Taylor Swift is so
popular that she can sway the presidential election, that if
she gives an endorsement, she will sway democracy in America.
That the Swifties are all brainless, mindless robots. Whatever Taylor
(18:43):
Swift tells them to do, they will do. And but
I get another one, Eddie, I got more. How by
this I would I could elongate the Taylor Swift man.
I'll make it like the Iowa minutes a report, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
There is a.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Report that the Swifties are now baggling the Chiefs Kingdom
claiming that Taylor's Swift is the one that made Travis
Kelcey famous, and not vice versa Kelsey's podcast.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
That's where I draw a line.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Oh hold on it now, Travis Kelsey's podcast apparently the
number one podcast. I thought it was the fifth hour podcast.
But the number one podcast on the in the entire
Apple podcast world. So yeah, there it is.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's the swifty minute.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
The swifty two minutes and thirty five seconds.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's very swift.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Just let it, let it go, Eddie, all right, let
it go.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Just another lie from Ben.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Now, how about this popular internet influencer. And this is
kind of cool, Eddie. You know, we're trying to cross over.
You know, we're doing radio. We love radio. We're on
the internet as well, iHeart app and all these apps,
and people listen to the podcast, so we're on a
lot of different ways. But the Internet influencer amazing And
this week it was so cool. I got a message
(20:02):
from one of my friends. He used to live in Iowa.
He's a fan of the show. He lives in Kansas.
Now I lives in Kansas, and his name is Eric,
and he sent me this clip. He said, you're not
gonna believe this. This is amazing. But this guy is
a big time influencer. He's got a lot of followers,
(20:24):
he's a mover and shaker, and he gave an endorsement
to your show. So without further ado, I'm gonna play
this on the air right now. We'll give him a
little plug. He gave us a plug. Here it is.
Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Oh, good morning to all of you and happy Tuesday.
Welcome in to Mornings with Marcel and Friend. It's gonna
be a fantastic thirty minute show. Shouts to mister Ben Maller. Yes,

and a Penny won't take place on Fridays before every NFL, NBA,
out of even NHL and Major League Baseball games. Please
gamble responsibly. He was always not by Ben Maller by draftings.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
The draftings great that man, you're expanding it to all sports.
That's great news.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah. I don't think NBC knows that, but I'm up
all for it.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Says it's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I am more than willing to do more TV than
just the football season, Eddie. If you want to expand
this show, I am all about that action absolutely.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Uh man Alive.

Of course you know I s as the host of
the number one rated show and all the sports talks,
the Paully and Tony Fusco Show.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Now, the suits at Fox Sports Radio gave us this
ad time because they wanted us to tell you how
great our show is.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Why.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Yeah, Instead of us doing that, let's just let on
millions of fans do the talking.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, play the tape.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You don't know, crap about four own this crap.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
That's the wrong tape, wrong tape. Just forget that.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Look.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Listen to the Paul of Tony Fusco Show on the
iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
We started with the NBA, We close with the NBA,
and will Rudy Gay get one more season in the NBA?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
That's just the content.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Signs a one year deal with the Warriors to try
and compete for a roster spot if he makes the team.
Rudy Gay, Rudy Gay Store, Rudy Gay. We'll be playing
in his eighteenth season in the NBA. If you can
match out, We'll give you.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
More fun facts about too many Kamara Eddie because that's
better than Rudy.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yes, that's really weird of you, because and now you're
going on and on about a guy. It's very odd
by you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
He was a by you. He was raised in Brussels, Belgium.
Dy so he ate a lot of Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
When he was I don't believe that that's accurate.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
The Brussels sprout was named after Brussels. Yeah. Uh, let's
see here mentioned he played Shamanad high school and averaged
a double double his junior and senior year. So he
put up some some big numbers there. And now he's
part of the NBA and he's getting mentioned a.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Lot of airtime.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That's your fault. That's your fault.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, you brought his name up.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I did bring his name up because it's it's relevant
in the trade.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I try to condemn you bringing the name.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I know, and then you took it too far. It's
a weird move on your part.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
This portion of the show brought to you by Progressive Insurance.
Progressive makes fundy easy and affordable. Get a multi policy

Save at Progressive dot com. And here it is the
(24:10):
cost saving story that we have been monitoring the last
couple of weeks, and it appears that it is a
done deal. Now they're going forward this Michigan State officially
announcing they are firing mel Tucker with cause. All of
this in an effort to save close to eighty million dollars,
(24:30):
even though I don't believe the school's paying that money.
Most of it's coming from boosters, but I guess they
want to reallocate that money elsewhere to pay for better players.
But Meltucker on his way out, they're saying it's with cause.
Many other people pointing out that this is not exactly
why mel Tucker is getting let go, even though mel
(24:52):
Tucker was involved in.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
A phone sex huddle.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
The main problem here for mel Tucker is that they
expected to get Nick Saban two point zero and what
they have gotten at Old Sparty, what they have gotten
is twenty and fourteen. That's what they've got. And so
got off to a really good start, well, not the
(25:20):
first year that was a COVID year, but the first
full year for mel Tucker where they played a full season.
They were eleven and two. They won the Peach Bowl.
The Spartans they I think they they were a very
good running back. They were the top twenty five, I
believe top ten. I think at one point. I don't
know if they finished there. But anyway, Michigan State not
(25:41):
They're just not good.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
They're not well. They're not They're not where they.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Assumed they were. They were going to be right. They're
two and two now. They were two and oh with
mel Tucker lost their last couple of years. But if
the point is, if he had won a bunch and
they were playing for championships, then they would have found
a way to keep melt Tucker. They would have sent
him to some kind of sex rehab clinic.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
You give them therapy.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
We're done.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Something I do is something.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And not only is Michigan State oh and two since
they they got rid of mel Tucker, but they have
been absolutely destroyed. They have been outscored seventy two to
sixteen by Washington and Maryland the last two games. So
they give up seventy two points, which is just one
game for the Broncos, but for them, it's it's a
(26:30):
lot more, a lot more than that. It is the
Ben Malors Show as we are rolling, rolling, rolling on.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
And Ben, yes, yes, Iowa was saying, Michigan State plays
at Iowa under the lights this Saturday, and they will
give up seven points to the Hawkeyes.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So you're predicting a will it be seven, seven to three,
seven to three?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
How about seven to six.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Seven to six?
Speaker 7 (26:58):
I think Iowa once Notre Dame in the nineteen thirty
seven to six.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah, not a year now Kinnick won the Heisman.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Has Iowa ever in your life had a good offensive football? Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Half Really, I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Two thousand and two. Uh years ago, a generation ago.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
They've had some Okay, listen the last like Brian Farren's
under his watch, it's not been good. You know, they've
been okay forever he's been there, since he's been running
the offense since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Are we doing the Iowa minuty going back?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Chuck Long?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
We need Chuck Long, outdated resurd, please love Chuck.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
He could sling it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I mean, hey, what are you doing? I mean, first
year you give us that guy from the trade here,
Tomani Kamara, and now you do that. I mean, that's unbelievable.
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Anyway, it is the bed mashow.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Time now for the Insta trivia and we will have
coming up Mallor to the third degree. We'll get to
that coming up momentarily, but first the int trivia here
it is Blank has the highest rate of what they
call aggressive throws into tight windows. I always love aggressive
throws in the tight windows. This is a stat that
(28:07):
did not exist when I was a kid. Not that
there weren't aggressive throws into tight windows, but it didn't exist.
So Blank has the highest rate of aggressive throws into
tight windows so far during the twenty twenty three NFL season.
You know the answer to the Insterta trivia. Send me
a message on the X at Ben Mahlor. That's at
(28:31):
Ben Mahlor, and we'll give you the answer and we'll
have Mallor to the third of you again, Blank has
the highest rate of aggressive throws in the tight windows
so far during the twenty twenty three NFL season.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
That's the Insta trivia. The answer. We'll get to it
and we will do it.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Next.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to

Speaker 3 (29:04):
There's a widespread problem of boring sports talk. The Ben
Malor Show offers a solution. Under the cover of darkness.
We are twenty five percent more effective at delivering zany
hot takes than our competitors. We would love for you
to help us grow the audience with a personal endorsement.
Just mention our show and tag along with us on Twitter,
Instagram and Facebook. We are growing the Mallard Militia, one
(29:24):
new member at a time. At all I'm lettyrack dot Com,
Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
A time. Now four the install trivia, and we will
have coming up momentarily Mallard to the third degree. But first,
the Insta trivia a blatant attempt to get you to
listen a little bit longer, and it appears that it
has worked. So it's a little like Jedi mind hack
that we do from time to time. But here's the
(29:54):
Insta tribute. We go back to the well one more
time and NFL blank has the highest rate of aggressive
throws into tight windows. I love this, love this ridiculous
stat highest rate of aggressive throws in the tight windows.
So far during the twenty twenty three football season.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
What constitutes an aggressive throw? Is it certain velocity?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
You'd have to ask the nerds at the NFL, Eddie,
But that's where I got this from. Excuse me, nerds
are official NFL style. I would assume that Eddie, that
that means there's a defender right on the receiver with
guard or two. It makes sense, So I think that's
what okay.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
That anyway, Let's see, does anyone know the answer? Andy?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
He's going the Snowflake Dolphin. But Andy, the Bill's mafia guy,
really getting worked up into a lather for this game
with the Dolphins this weekend. I hope he's not disappointed
when the Dolphins win. Sirlely Scott going with Bono as
his answer. Beavis and butt Head from The Cowboy Killer
Late Night Drug Tester says, you are Grant Feur of
the Oilers, who is sixty one years old. Oh my god, wow,
(31:06):
all right, Stan marsh of the South Park Cows guess
by Milkman Mike in Colorado, Steve Trout legendary. That's a
good baseball card, by the way, mister nice guy, that's solid.
That's like mid to late seventies early eighties. Pretty good
Kyler Murray from Justin and Cincinnati. Kyler looking good. Is
(31:28):
he's modeling now that he's not playing for the Cardinals anymore.
Shane of des Moines going with Jackie Robinson. Ryan Leaf
from alf the Alien o Piner knock it Off. I
had Ryan Leaf on my podcast. I asked him about
the knock it off and he is still bitter and
broken twenty five years later about that. That sound by
who else do we have? Pete Vokeovich from Bay City, Tony.
(31:52):
That's his answer. Chuck Woolery doesn't get any fresher than that.
Chuck Woolery from the Main Truck of Steve bart Kowski
tossed out by Robin Minnesota. Ugly Kid Joe from Mark
Matthew Stafford from Pauli D. Kathy in Madison said Taylor
Swift around three point thirty in the morning. How about
(32:14):
Kathy with the Taylor Swift sex joke? TJ. Rubley from
Chris in Des Moines. Eke in Roso, Minnesota said, Zach
Wilson is the answer all right? Do you have an
answer Eddie to the Insta trivia question?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, let's go with Brett Farv.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Brett Farvara, Is it Brett farv That would be incorrect, Eddie.
According to the next gen NFL stats, Jordan Love of
your Green Bay Packers as the highest rate of aggressive
throws at the title wind go so far twenty nine
point two percent.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Number two.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Joshua Dobbs of the Cardinals, number three, Jimmy Garoppolo the Raiders,
followed by your guy, Kenny Pickett. Josh Allen's number five,
and Joe Burrow is number six, and you are number one,
And we are going to this it's Mallard. How about
that to the third degree.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
This is one big gets grilled, and.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
We bring in the connoisseur of Mallard of the third degree.
He's going to light up the scoreboard right now.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
The kopolo Steve Kerr hinted that Chris Paul will be
coming off the bench for the Warriors this upcoming season. Ben,
how do you think CP three will handle a backup
role for the first time in his career?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I have one word, sulk. He's going to sulk. Chris
Paul very proud man. He is a Hall of Famer.
I loved him, then I hated him because they didn't
win with Lob City, but he believes he is still
an elite player at his advanced age. He apparently did
not watch last season, and watch out for Cliff Paul
to spike Steve Kerrz coffee at Golden State practice.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
And CP three.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
He's going to pretend that he's fine with whatever role
they give him coming off the bench. But mark my words,
the first time the Warriors lose a couple of games,
he is going to raise a ruckus and he'll be
passive aggressive, and it's gonna be a story. It's gonna
be good talk radio, good talk radio for us. Next.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
There are four winless teams in the NFL right now,
and after this Sunday there will only be two as
the winless teams are matched up with each other this weekend.
Ben Ben, which heard which two teams are coming away
zero to four?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Well, Coop best you know. I have a TV show now.
It's called Benny Versus the Penny. It's on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday morning, and so I will be picking every
game against the spread this weekend. But I'm pretty confident
that those games will not be highlighted on the TV show,
considering that we're We're taping the TV show later today,
(34:51):
so I don't think those games will be there. But
let's just say that the teams that have the better
quarterbacks are the way I'm going. Coop, you can figure
that out however you want to figure that out. But
that's that's the way I'm going. But to tune in
on the boob tube to find out, all right, what's next?
Speaker 8 (35:07):
Gardner Minshew has been solid when having to step in
for Anthony Richardson, though Colt's head coach Shane Steichen said
that Richardson will be starter once again when he returns.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (35:17):
How much of a leash do you think Richardson has?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Oh, he's got the longest leash you can possibly have.
This entire season is dedicated to cultivating Anthony Richardson. Jim
Rsey admitted, short term pain, long term game. They want
to put this guy in the launching pad.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
So they got to play him.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
They got to take their lumps, and so he's gonna
play and they're trying to win games.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
How did we know you failed this edition? That is
a win, a win for.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Me, Thank you, win.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
