Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome to the Original Recipe Malord podcast.
You already knew that as we ride the gravy train.
Not only do we have the live radio audience, but
we also have in addition, you the podcast listener. Man,
does that mean a lot? So today's a big day
as I shamelessly hoore myself out and promote my podcast,
my spinoff podcast, standalone podcast not available on radio, only
(00:25):
available in the podcast format, that would be The Fifth
Hour with Ben Maller, Say my Own Name and Danny
g Radio. We do it every weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
So you can be part of that podcast. Just subscribe.
Sometimes it shows up here in the Malor show feed,
the Original Recipe feed, but occasionally somebody f's up and
(00:46):
you don't get it. So I don't want you to
miss a podcast Fifth Hour Podcast. And today on the
Friday Pod, we have a Mallard travelog and that's going
to break a record for downloads and also a gummy story.
I think I got a gummy story we're gonna get
to today on the Fifth Hour podcast. So that's available
right now here in hour one. How credible are the
(01:09):
rumors that Marvin Harrison Junior is trying to manipulate the draft,
so ends up with the Bears. Also the GM in Buffalo,
Brandon Bean says the Bills don't need a true number
one receiver this season for Josh Allen. Is that how
you see it? And the Patriots GM Elliott Wolf says
he's quote open for business, close quote to trade the
(01:32):
number three pick in the draft. Is that meaningful in
any way? Will analyze that as well. All of it
coming your way right now here it is, give it
up our number one? Is it a manipulation situation for
the NFL draft? Welcome in the beginning of another night
(01:56):
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air
everywhere together. As we know, stressed is just dessert spelled backwards.
So chill out coast, stuck coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and zestfully powerful microphones of fsre
(02:17):
am monating live from the craft as we ride the
hovercraft through the updraft, and we're broadcasting live from the
Tiraq dot com studs. Tire raq dot Com will help
you get there. It's very important to help you get there.
An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection
(02:39):
and over ten thousand, ten thousand recommended installers. My god,
that is that is so many that malaprop guy can't
count that high. It's amazing. Tyraq dot com the way
tirebind SHOWB. We got a full night of the nonsense
(03:00):
since Shenanigans to get through. But we begin with an
NFL draft story. It's gonna be a big week for
content from the NFL Draft, which is both a blessing
and a curse. But we're closing in on it and
we are now Team minus less than a week from
the Pigskin job fare, which is very exciting, and one
(03:21):
of one of the top suspects. Remember a prospect is
just a suspect and proven otherwise. So one of the
top suspects is messing with the interview process or the
job finding process, and this is not going to go
over well. So if you didn't hear about this, and
maybe not that, there are whispers, whispers in hush tones
(03:43):
suggesting that the Ohio state wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior,
is intentionally deceiving NFL teams to lower his draft stock
to play in Chicago developing hot dot dot dot. So
(04:05):
the story goes like this, the Bears have the first pick,
they're not gonna draft Marvin Harrison, but they also have
a top ten pick, I believe the number nine pick,
and so they're at number nine and Harrison's supposed to
be drafted in the top six if you believe these
mock drafts. But Harrison for nagling the draft. He did
not participate in the Ohio State Pro Day, choosing not
(04:27):
to dot BEI, nor did he participate in the NFL
scouting Combine the Underwear Olympics, further fueling the conspiracy theory.
He was a no show for the media interview session
at the combine as well. So let us discuss the
question how credible are these rumors that Marvin Harrison Junior
(04:49):
is trying to manipulate the draft. So he ends up
with Caleb Williams and the Bears. So I've got sign language,
mortal combat, and Porridge, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make a
nice frog, like you know, the old Kermit the frog.
(05:12):
There's a lot of famous frog. It's many famous frogs,
all right. So a on the malor scale of credibility,
which is the most important measurement device used on these
type of stories. The Malor scale of credibility on Marvin
Harrison Junior trying to manipulate the draft so he ends
up with the Bears one to ten ten means it
is absolutely on. Like Donkey Kong, I'm at at three.
(05:38):
I wish I was hired. It'd be better if I
was higher. I would enjoy the story more if I
was higher on the mall scale of credibility. But I've
met a three on this. We aren't saying it's impossible
that this is going on, But why would you pick
the Bears? How many receivers over the last you know,
how old you are, your life, whatever, how many receivers
(05:59):
have gone to sh Cago and just falling off the map.
And if you were to manipulate the draft, if your
goal was to play with an elite quarterback, if that
is what you were trying to do, you were trying
to run amuck from the normal draft. You want to
go play with the great corporate corporate Why would you
not go fully cuckoo for cocoa puffs and try to
(06:19):
end up with the Chiefs or the say the Buffalo Bills,
who need a number one receiver plus there's also the
financial component. Your rookie contract is slotted, so if you
intentionally fall down lower, you get paid less initially, but
then you're betting you're gonna stay healthy and make more
on the backside. Now I see the smoke. There is
(06:40):
smoke there. It's not a wildfire. It's more like a
weekend barbecue at the park. But here's the other thing, right,
I have this one as a sign language story. Now,
what does that mean? That Marvin Harrison is a bit
of toose. He is letting his fingers do the talking.
It is more likely than not that Marvin Harrison believes
(07:01):
that his tape with the Buckeyes is so delicious, it's
so yummy, that nobody will pass on him in the draft,
and so he doesn't have to do all this nonsense work.
That's what the peons have to do, not a player
like him. So and also by working out, he would
have only hurt himself. People would have poked holes in
his ability. And it's also the possibility, the wild card possibility,
(07:25):
that he's an introvert like his pops and does not
want to deal with people out in the wild blue yonder.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Now we mentioned the bills and turning the pagre we
take the station.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Wagon to Buffalo. Here we go Buffalo. We used to
have a bunch of Bills mafia guys that call the show,
and then they gagged in the playoffs against Kansas City
and they all vanished. So Executive Brandon Bean spoke as
many NFL executives did this week in the lead up
to the draft, and he said that the big cheese
there in Western New York said that he does not
(08:00):
believe the Bills need a true number one wide receiver
this season. This is, of course, after they finally did
what everyone knew was going to happen. They unloaded Stefan
Digs into the transfer portal to the Texans for a
bag of worms. That's what they got, a bag of
(08:20):
worms for Stefan Diggs. Now, when asked specifically about this
the number one receiver, the GM there blabbed, No, what
you need are guys that in this offense are smart, versatile, selfless,
and can make the plays that their skill set allows
them to make. Okay, then, so let's expand on this.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Brandon Bean says, the Bills don't need a true number one.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Receiver this season. For Josh Allen, is that how you
see it? Is that how you see it? So on
this side of the microphone, I'm gonna go first because
I have the bully pulpit. Then you can go.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
So on this side of the microphone, I'm shaking my
head in actually I'm shaking my head. No, right, that's
what I'm shaking my head.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
This is a mortal combat quote. There's a mortal combat quote. Okay, Bean,
here's the way I see this in the cartoon bubble,
which is above my head. So Bean working as a ninja. Right,
he used the word selfless. That's a big word. We
parsed the words. Part of this job is parsing the words.
So the word selfless, you know what that is. That's
(09:25):
the mortal combat ninja. That is a subtle, passive, aggressive
shot poking Stefan Diggs, who is the antithesis of selfless. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
That is clearly a shot at Digs without formally taking
a shot at Diggs because dumb people don't understand the
nuance of the buffalo GM and Josh Allen, you know,
he didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Break out until he got Stefan Diggs. Now, they had
to get rid of the Digs because the bills got
tired of his Shenanigans. The only ones that didn't that
were the Bills mafia cats that couldn't believe it, but
they could no longer coexist anymore. But I will garon
Effen to you that the Bills they're gonna be trying
to get all these top receiver. You got a bunch
(10:14):
of receivers that are gonna be in the portal before
the draft. T Higgins and Cincinnati, Brandon Ayuk with the
forty nine ers, AJ Brown and Philadelphia, all of those
guys are in play. And there's others as well. All right,
last word, here we go to New England. Patriots have
a top three pick in the draft, number three. The
GM there guy named Elliott Wolf howling at the Moon
(10:37):
says that he has quote open for business. He said,
open for business to trade that number three pick. Is
this meaningful? So I'm gonna go yes on this one
that it is meaningful because to me, the way I
interpreted it, it means that New England does not believe
the third ranked player in this draft is much better
(10:59):
than the sixth to the tenth ranked player. Now, it's
also possible he's lying, right, It's lying season in the NFL.
But every GM my entire life, I've been behind a
microphone even before I was finding these stupid micro ropes
my entire life, Every general manager before the draft is said, yeah,
we're open to business. We're listening. You know, we're listening.
(11:19):
We don't want to trade to pick, but if we
get an offer, we'll listen. And I always love to
before the draft, we want to draft the best player available,
because these people in football are so stupid they don't
realize that the term best means a player as good
as all the rest. They don't quite grasp best. So
you're essentially saying, we just want to draft a good player.
But it sounds more impressive if you say we want
(11:42):
the best player. You're not gonna say we want the
top player, because if the player doesn't turn out to
be top the top in class, that's a bad look.
So these are all boiler plate responses. But I look
at the Patriots and they're like a smelly porridge of
poop that that roster and Elliott wolf Heads a couple
of weeks back, maybe a couple months ago, he said
(12:02):
the buck stops with him, not to reopen old wounds,
but the buck stops with him, and we haven't even
made it to the draft. He was bragging, pumping his
chest out with all this machizmall about how he's the
decision maker. You know, he's got final edit on final
cut on what the Patriots do and he's already publicly
waffling and.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
We haven't even gotten to the draft. Hello, all right, anyway,

doesn't like it yet? And and you're not like, you know,
all the Wokesers won't be upset. You know, there's no
like YETI support.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Group offending anyone.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, you know, now there might be furries that dress
like you you know that, and that might be proper
for them, but that you know, that's okay. They were right.
They wouldn't break the.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Furry a chance to dress up and go to the games.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
The furry community would all they would They would appreciate
the YETI because that would that's a that's a great take,
because that would allow them ectuality.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
They would be inclusive.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Exactly, and that's the big buzz word at the time.
Any so they should go for it. Absolutely over fee me.
This guy's always dare me. This him in ferg Dog
in the leadoff chair, Your FEMI in Chicago says a
plus and a box of oreos on the opening Mallor monologue.
These teams act, he said, like scouting and drafting is
like splitting the atom. Best player available makes fans feel
(17:17):
warm and fuzzy inside till the player sucks. Yeah, And
I was like everyone else. I had the naivea tay
as a child. And there was a point I blame
the Clippers for this, because the Clippers kept drafting guys
every year. They had this announcement nam Ralph Laller. Actually
I know Ralph a little bit. He's retired down Yeah,
(17:38):
holy smokers, faster in your seatbelt. But Ralph good guy.
I knew him when I was a kid. I'd listen
to Ralph and Ralph would be like, oh yeah, even
though the Clippers not a bad season, they have a
lot of repick, They're gonna have a top three pick
in the draft. They're gonna get a great player. And
every one of those players went out there and puked
all over the court and was terrible as a Clipper.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
And so after like six or seven years, I finally
realized this is a shell game. It's a fraud, and
it's the same thing in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Now, listen, some of these guys that are going to
draft next and be drafted next week will be great.
Sure they will. Absolutely every player comes out of the draft, right,
every good player comes out of the draft. I get it.
I understand that. But the success rate is so terrible, right,
It is so bad that it's not worth getting too
excited over. In my opinion, it a lot of people
(18:29):
did love it. Art Puffin says, a plus an extra
credit for the opening mill of monologue, thank you for
beginning with the NFL draft. Ben Joneson. He says, any anyhow,
my Dolphins will move up into the draft to snatch
up Dallas Turner. I could see them working something out
with the Bears at the number nine spot. Well, I
(18:50):
haven't looked at your mock draft there, Art Puffin, I've
not seen that. Firk Doug says, the draft is almost here. Ben,
are you ready to announce what day next week you're
going to do your yearly NFL mock Draft special? Personally,
it's my favorite thing that you do. Yeah, I know
your tongue is firmly planted in your cheek. There, Fergy,
(19:12):
good old ferg dog. What I do every year? Wait?
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Wait, wait, can I give you a drum roll? If
you're gonna present it?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Well, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Oh okay, yeah, she was so excited to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well, you can do the drum roll whenever you want,
and it's fine to do it all right. Here we
go big.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
For the twenty fifth consecutive year. I will be doing
my mocking of.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
The NFL Draft next week. This is Eddiewhere we go
back because a lot of GMS years ago would say,
don't judge the draft. You've gotta let it breathe. You've
got to wait three or four years or five years,
let it breathe. Right, so we're gonna go back. We
let it breathe. We're gonna go look back and see
who fed up the draft from years ago.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
It's fun, it's a.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Fun thing to do, right. Fine, We've done that for
a long time, doing it right week. Losers. I love losers.
I'm a fan of losers. That is true most of
the time. Lately not so much. You know, teams, My
teams have won every couple of years. Late Night Drug
tester says Marvin Harrison Junior has nothing to worry about.
If he doesn't get what he wants, his old man
(20:16):
and will handle it like he did at the car wash. Wow,
all right, Yeah, for sure. Remember the quote that Marvin
Harrison gave the old man to the I think there's
a Washington Post. I was doing my blog, my gossip
sports blog, and it was a great quote because he
said he wished NFL teams could play in empty stadiums.
(20:40):
If only Marvin Harrison had been in the NFL when
COVID happened, he would have gotten his wish. But he
wanted that was true of the plane. He hated the
fans playing in front of the fans so much he
wanted to play an empty stated which actually did happen,
which we all like to forget. Shane from the Moin
rites and he says, hey, plus on the fourth hour
Mallard model from yesterday.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Good job by you. That was a lot of blame
to go around. But somehow I'd blame man fraud.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
For this too. I like that you're giving reviews from
yesterday's monologue. I appreciate that. Supermarcus Steve writes in from
Sokeal says, can we talk about the Tampa Bay reliever
who went straight TOWRTS? I sucked and I sucked at
a time that I couldn't suck.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
That was a good sound bite. Did you hear that?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
We play that right now? Do we have that warmed up? Eddie?
Can you find that I've not I've not heard that,
but I love I love the sounder. I'm I'm a
fan that you would channel Torts because that's my favorite SoundBite.
I quote that. I quote that pretty much every day.
I don't think there's a day that goes by that
I don't quote Torts. He's he's like Edward. I'm trying
(21:48):
to think like Edgar Allan Powell or something like that.
He's like really a poet that was poetry sucked from
head to toe, sucked at a time you cannot suck.
All of those are classic lines from John Tortorella, who
is coaching the Flyers and was horrible as a broadcaster.
I remember when I briefly worked at the NBC Sports Network,
(22:10):
which had the rights to the NHL, in beautiful Stanford, Connecticut,
and I told one of the executives in the NBC,
I said, this guy towarts Man, you got to get
this guy on TV. And Guy's like, well, he already
worked in TV, and he wasn't he wasn't that great.
You know, Okay, I didn't even know. I didn't even know.
I had no no idea.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
All right, we do have the sound.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
We have the audict. We why don't we we're playing now,
we talk, let's play now. This is uh, what's this
guy's name here?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
His name is Pete Fairbanks, the great Pete Fairbanks.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Okay, old game show host named Fairbanks. Here's Pete Fairbanks
and this is his comment therey. Let's sit back and
enjoy the comment.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
There.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It's got quiet today, didn't have a lot.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
To very very loud.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Here yeah, what's up with that, Eddie? I thought I
thought he would be loud.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
And I'm sorry that's my fault.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Hold on, I think I think that's user air ready.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Yep, yeah right, yea too with old Pete, Old.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Pete Fairbanks, Tampa Bay Let's tig it.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
No, I thought it generally sucked. I didn't think it
was a specific suck. I thought it was like an
all encompassing type of suck. So we're gonna try and
rectify that. But for I now, I'm gonna be pretty
pissed about it.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
All.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
That's an that's an addendum. That's an addition.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
That's where he's from here. You tell me I've tried that.
You got an answer I'd love to hear.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Just you know, I'm not gonna let it beat me
up for you know, maybe give it till ten. It's
nine forty four right now, and give it sixteen minutes
of salt, and then we'll, you know, get back on
the bump and then figure it out.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I got a time limit on his pissed office.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I like that guy, Pete Fairbanks. He's my new favorite
Tampa Bay Ray. You know who My last favorite Tampa
Bay Ray was No didn't have one, So this is
my new favorite Tampa Bay Ray. That's great. I thought
I generally sucked. I didn't think it was a specific suck.
I thought it was an all encompassing.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
It's very very thoughtful about it.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Right, you know what, Eddie, I'm going to add that
to my repertoire. I will now be quoting the great
Pete Fairbanks. I will I will add that encompassing. So good,
all right, I'm adding that. I'm going to add that, Eddie.
I'm going to add that to my my machine. All right,
So is it true that Eddie Garcia's Chargers have closed
(24:39):
in They're close to having a adding a big name
pass catcher. This comes from NFL insider, not Adam Schefter,
not Jay Glazer. What's the other guy at the NFL?
What's the guy's name in the NFL networked that does
the inside? I forget his name, but anyway, don't matter.
This came from an amazing NFL insider, Antonio Brown, who
(25:00):
reporting that wide receiver Michael Thomas is closing in on
a deal to play for the Chargers. Now, this is
very awkward for this show. If this is true and
Antonio Brown has shockingly actually broken some NFL stories on
his little whatever he calls it. What is he called
the CM or CTESPN or something like that. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
(25:25):
he wants to do so, you know, it's a tongue
in cheek thing, and but he's gotten some of these stories. Right.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
He actually had the new uniforms for the for the
Broncos and the Lions.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
He had though or the Texans.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I think it was Texans and Lions anyway, So he's, uh,
he's sawn out that out there.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
That's awkward for the show because our friend Holliday, we
haven't heard him in a while. But Holiday is related
to Michael Thomas. Michael Thomas was a friend of the
show for a while. Indirectly we were supporting Michael Thomas
and then there was a falling out. But Michael Thomas
is from southern California. He's got family here and so
it makes sense to come back. But he hasn't played
(26:05):
any real football in years, like he's ever since he
got the big contract. He's been hurt and hadn't played.
So it's a hot mess.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven PM Pacific.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
You mentioned this a little bit briefly talking about the
nickname for the new Utah team. But it is official.
The NHL Board of Governors voting earlier on Thursday to
officially approve the move of the Arizona hockey team to Utah.
So all the players and well any of the employees
I guess that want to move to Salt Lake City
or general manager, your scouts, all those folks are all
(26:40):
heading to the state of Utah, and the Coyotes name
will be staying back in Arizona in case a build
an arena and can get an expansion franchise in the
next few years. But it is official. NHL Hockey in
Salt Lake City, Utabe.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
We have a quote starting next week from Gary Bedman.
He he said no, Nona, Hey, goodbye. No, he did
not say that. He did not say that. I was
out of context. That must have been butt Crack Sports
that reported that, Eddie. I can't believe they would report that.
That's unbelievable. It is the Bane Mallor show. As we
(27:16):
continue on, and remember, I hope this show is okay.
I do not want this show to be an all
encompassing type of suck. I don't want that at all.
The great Tampa Bay closer there, Pete Fairbanks, God bless
his soul. Just a wonderful, wonderful quote. I love that
so much, love that so much. We'll get to the
(27:36):
calls in a secon. I didn want to mention this
because this is something that we had all predicted, but
it's not exactly how we thought it was going to go.
This is the lullaby of Pigskin. So Taylor Swift, I
know the Swift. He's very excited. She has dropped a
new album. What's the name. I don't remember the name
of it. What's the name of it? The name of
(27:57):
the new album, I don't know the name.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Some like Tortured Poet Society.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Tortured Poets Society, Okay, there it is, or Department or
something like that.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Not because I know you're not a swiftye. No, you know,
I'm really not.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
No, really, Yeah, I find her annoying.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
I think the hype around it is annoying because.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
He's too popular.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Yeah, it's just too much.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Oh, I got you all right, Well, she did drop
this got a lot of people excited. I guess it
seems like it. I don't know if that's true or not,
but most of the album, from what I was reading
here about her exes. She loves to write about men
she used to like and no longer likes. But it
(28:39):
turns out that there was a little something referencing Travis Kelcey. Hmm, yeah,
so I read this album of the tabloids in the
fifteenth track, which likely mean the last one of the
(29:01):
last tunes that she made. The lyrics to the chorus are,
so when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut
them from the team. Ditch the clowns, get the clown baby.
I'm the one to be because the sign on your
heart said it's reserved for me. Oh, unbelievable. There's another
(29:22):
verse where she referenced put a socking you mouth, no beer,
but the touchdown thing. The Swifties are convinced that that's
definitely a reference to Travis Kelsey. Now for her to
mention Kelsey by name in a song, they have to
break up and then he'll get the name mentioned in
the song.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
I think these sports reference in general just says a lot,
because she never really references sports in her music.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
But how do you know you're not.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
I guess you know, I guess the sidelines and the
bleachers from that one song.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Right.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Hey, just because I'm not a fan doesn't mean I
don't know the songs.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
You sure about that?
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
What's your what's your go to music?
Speaker 6 (29:59):
I'm pretty poppy, I really am.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Well Taylor Swift. It doesn't get any more poppy than
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
That doesn't mean I'm a swifty though.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Okay you like Do you like Poppy in San Diego?
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:10):
He's great.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Oh no, you're gonna give it up his ego. That
was not what I was looking for. Shine, all right,
that's your Poppy in San Diego. Hello Poppy, Hello, thanks
for that lovely introduction.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Thanks for right now dropping those kids, Uh, the Lorena
the Queen here, and you know, it's a great night
right here, you know, in San Diego. And I know
you guys have been talking a lot about basketball. Ben
Mallard about the first game up it is a he
we got the Miyami here without Jimmy Butler. They're gonna
be playing to you know, the Chicago Bulls that game.
(30:49):
I'm really feeling a Hi. May Honk Quiz Junior from
UCLA I know you guys love him over there in LA.
We're gonna take the Miami Heat on the money and
I minus one twenty five. That's what I'm on that one.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Wait, yeah, did you know Jimmy Butler is not playing?
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Yeah? But you know what, I'm a big NBA guru.
And when when the Miami Heat they have a like
I said, HEIMI Junior from U C. L A.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I know you like. I know you like the fact
that he is of a Latin heritage. I get that.
But they still don't have Jimmy Butler. So who cares?
Speaker 8 (31:25):
Well, Well, they got big president. You're forgetting. They got
Bamade Bayo. He's gonna do a big president.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Okay, he'll get you'll get twelve, He'll get twelve points. Okay,
who else?
Speaker 8 (31:35):
So, so they got Batman de Bayo, they got.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You're betting the Heat as a two point home favorite
without Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Okay, well not only that, Well, let me tell you
something else, Ben Mallard, you know why think he's gonna
be there? Scott Foster. Scott Foster is gonna be wrapped
by here.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We go man, You and Scott Foster.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Mike, Hey, he's a he's a best friend.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
All right, what's the other game? Hurry up the other game.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
The other game. We're going with the King. They're gonna
Zion will.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Wait. So why that makes no sense? Your logic is flawed.
You're picking my best player, but you're picking against the
Pelicans because they don't have Zion Williamson. It makes no sense.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
No, it does.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
But you know because he doesn't with the.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
Kings because I picked him over the Warriors last night.
I'm sticking with the Kings.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And you don't have to see you're a gamble. That's
a that's a dumb gambler. You don't stick with the
team because you picked them in the last game. That's stupid.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Shut you every You gotta look at every that's a
new level of sucking.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
You gotta look at every poppy. You gotta look at
every game.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
No, who's gonna stop the bonus from the Pelicans? Oh
my god, you tell them whos gonna stop the bonus?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You couldn't name four players on the Pelicans poppy if
I can.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
They got brandon Ingram, they got the callum right, And
you want me to keep on going Zion Williams. You
want me to keep on going.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
He's not playing. He's not playing. You keep going here?
Who's who? Do you think that? Who's the center for
the Pelgants who destroyed the Kings when they played head
to head by the way in the regular season.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
But I can't pronounce it, but it starts with that be.
It's like the flint. He's like from he's like from
your up or something. I can't pronounce it.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
And they have a what about Jose Alvo Modo? You
didn't say his name the way you talked about the
guy from he Jonas Valentunis is who the center is.
Who's pretty good. He's not a bad player, he's all right.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Yeah, but the bonus is better. And then you got
there boss and the king's away. I like Miami d.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I know, But what you don't like Jose Alrodo? How
about you know you don't like him? What's up with that?
Speaker 8 (33:41):
No? No, you know, well, josel Borado, that's when he
got in a fight with the last fight when he
was fighting, you know, and they got a technical with
the Russell right.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Russell, all right, I gotta go, thank you? All right?
How did we end up back with picking with Poppy?
I thought we had agreed that Poppy was gonna do
other stick. I thought that was the whole deal, that
he was going to move on to other stick, And
now we're back to picking with Poppy. He doesn't want
to lose his worst caller title. Yeah, well, he's certainly
on his way to We've had real competition this year
(34:11):
in the next round of the Bennies. Oh my God,
time out for the who Am I? Game? A blatant
attempt to get you to listen a little bit longer,
and going in to play on Thursday, I had the
lowest strikeout percentage among all hitters in the Big League
so far this season. My strikeout percentage entering Thursday was
(34:35):
just two point two percent of my at bats. Again,
entering play on Thursday, I had the lowest strikeout percentage
among hitters in MLB so far this season, at just
two point two percent. Who Am I? The answer? We'll
get to it. We'll do it next.

(36:11):
old Texas ranger from many years ago from mister nice Guy.

Rick moranis I just I visioned him looking like that?
Who else do we have a page? Dan Crypto Ray
(36:33):

Scott pod Sednick, Surge guests by Milkman Mike in Colorado,
William Hung from Yaphomi. That's it's a Russef friend of

Scorpio Niner in the Bay. Who else do we have?
Page down? Stuck in Sacramento says the answer is Poppy
(37:39):
in San Diego, striking out trying to guess Lizzo's weight
within three hundred pounds. Manny Sangian, there's a good name
from Robin, Minnesota, Double O Mexican going with Wally Joyner
Dodger coach Andrey Dawson from will Mark Will called will
we don't give last name? JJ from Renton guessed by
Anthony and anaheim Ah we miss JJ from Written. He
(38:02):
calls like once every six months now he used to
call all the time. Masshole Mickey says, the answer is
puppy long Spocking is the answer. The grim Reaper Stuck
Grimson from Big Lou. I love Stu Grims. He was
a goon on the ducks when I covered the ducks
back in the day, and it was he wrote like
children's books and stuff. It was odd because he was
(38:23):
like the tough guy. He was the muscle on the team.
Vincent said, it was so nice of you to put
Poppy on. I turned the show off. Well, thank you
for that. I like that. You have to announce you
turn the show. Just turn the show off. Okay, it's fine,
We'll get ten other people to turn the show on.
Do you understand all right, Eddie? Do you have an answer? Eddie?
It is not Jackson Merrill who turns twenty one on Friday.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Here, I believe it's Jaguars GM Trent Balky, who, according
to justin Cincinnati, farted during a press conference earlier.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Well, he did fart. We will have more on that.
He did the Jim. We'll have more on that. That'd
be part of a malad monologue later on in the show.
But the correct answer a guy that we mentioned earlier
in the show, Jock Peterson of the Diamondbacks. There we go, Pearls.
He was leading baseball in the lowest strikeout percentage two
(39:14):
point two percent, and I mentioned I was watching the
Diamondbacks Giants game, and so of course he struck out.
So he no longer leads in that category, but he
did at the beginning of the day. He did have
the leads, so the question still stands. The way the
question was phrased, the question was not incorrect. So the
great Jock Peterson, that's your answer.
Here we go. Welcome to the Original Recipe Malord podcast.
You already knew that as we ride the gravy train.
Not only do we have the live radio audience, but
we also have in addition, you the podcast listener. Man,
does that mean a lot? So today's a big day
as I shamelessly hoore myself out and promote my podcast,
my spinoff podcast, standalone podcast not available on radio, only
(00:25):
available in the podcast format, that would be The Fifth
Hour with Ben Maller, Say my Own Name and Danny
g Radio. We do it every weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
So you can be part of that podcast. Just subscribe.
Sometimes it shows up here in the Malor show feed,
the Original Recipe feed, but occasionally somebody f's up and
(00:46):
you don't get it. So I don't want you to
miss a podcast Fifth Hour Podcast. And today on the
Friday Pod, we have a Mallard travelog and that's going
to break a record for downloads and also a gummy story.
I think I got a gummy story we're gonna get
to today on the Fifth Hour podcast. So that's available
right now here in hour one. How credible are the
(01:09):
rumors that Marvin Harrison Junior is trying to manipulate the draft,
so ends up with the Bears. Also the GM in Buffalo,
Brandon Bean says the Bills don't need a true number
one receiver this season for Josh Allen. Is that how
you see it? And the Patriots GM Elliott Wolf says
he's quote open for business, close quote to trade the
(01:32):
number three pick in the draft. Is that meaningful in
any way? Will analyze that as well. All of it
coming your way right now here it is, give it
up our number one? Is it a manipulation situation for
the NFL draft? Welcome in the beginning of another night
(01:56):
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air
everywhere together. As we know, stressed is just dessert spelled backwards.
So chill out coast, stuck coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and zestfully powerful microphones of fsre
(02:17):
am monating live from the craft as we ride the
hovercraft through the updraft, and we're broadcasting live from the
Tiraq dot com studs. Tire raq dot Com will help
you get there. It's very important to help you get there.
An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection
(02:39):
and over ten thousand, ten thousand recommended installers. My god,
that is that is so many that malaprop guy can't
count that high. It's amazing. Tyraq dot com the way
tirebind SHOWB. We got a full night of the nonsense
(03:00):
since Shenanigans to get through. But we begin with an
NFL draft story. It's gonna be a big week for
content from the NFL Draft, which is both a blessing
and a curse. But we're closing in on it and
we are now Team minus less than a week from
the Pigskin job fare, which is very exciting, and one
(03:21):
of one of the top suspects. Remember a prospect is
just a suspect and proven otherwise. So one of the
top suspects is messing with the interview process or the
job finding process, and this is not going to go
over well. So if you didn't hear about this, and
maybe not that, there are whispers, whispers in hush tones
(03:43):
suggesting that the Ohio state wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior,
is intentionally deceiving NFL teams to lower his draft stock
to play in Chicago developing hot dot dot dot. So
(04:05):
the story goes like this, the Bears have the first pick,
they're not gonna draft Marvin Harrison, but they also have
a top ten pick, I believe the number nine pick,
and so they're at number nine and Harrison's supposed to
be drafted in the top six if you believe these
mock drafts. But Harrison for nagling the draft. He did
not participate in the Ohio State Pro Day, choosing not
(04:27):
to dot BEI, nor did he participate in the NFL
scouting Combine the Underwear Olympics, further fueling the conspiracy theory.
He was a no show for the media interview session
at the combine as well. So let us discuss the
question how credible are these rumors that Marvin Harrison Junior
(04:49):
is trying to manipulate the draft. So he ends up
with Caleb Williams and the Bears. So I've got sign language,
mortal combat, and Porridge, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make a
nice frog, like you know, the old Kermit the frog.
(05:12):
There's a lot of famous frog. It's many famous frogs,
all right. So a on the malor scale of credibility,
which is the most important measurement device used on these
type of stories. The Malor scale of credibility on Marvin
Harrison Junior trying to manipulate the draft so he ends
up with the Bears one to ten ten means it
is absolutely on. Like Donkey Kong, I'm at at three.
(05:38):
I wish I was hired. It'd be better if I
was higher. I would enjoy the story more if I
was higher on the mall scale of credibility. But I've
met a three on this. We aren't saying it's impossible
that this is going on, But why would you pick
the Bears? How many receivers over the last you know,
how old you are, your life, whatever, how many receivers
(05:59):
have gone to sh Cago and just falling off the map.
And if you were to manipulate the draft, if your
goal was to play with an elite quarterback, if that
is what you were trying to do, you were trying
to run amuck from the normal draft. You want to
go play with the great corporate corporate Why would you
not go fully cuckoo for cocoa puffs and try to
(06:19):
end up with the Chiefs or the say the Buffalo Bills,
who need a number one receiver plus there's also the
financial component. Your rookie contract is slotted, so if you
intentionally fall down lower, you get paid less initially, but
then you're betting you're gonna stay healthy and make more
on the backside. Now I see the smoke. There is
(06:40):
smoke there. It's not a wildfire. It's more like a
weekend barbecue at the park. But here's the other thing, right,
I have this one as a sign language story. Now,
what does that mean? That Marvin Harrison is a bit
of toose. He is letting his fingers do the talking.
It is more likely than not that Marvin Harrison believes
(07:01):
that his tape with the Buckeyes is so delicious, it's
so yummy, that nobody will pass on him in the draft,
and so he doesn't have to do all this nonsense work.
That's what the peons have to do, not a player
like him. So and also by working out, he would
have only hurt himself. People would have poked holes in
his ability. And it's also the possibility, the wild card possibility,
(07:25):
that he's an introvert like his pops and does not
want to deal with people out in the wild blue yonder.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Now we mentioned the bills and turning the pagre we
take the station.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Wagon to Buffalo. Here we go Buffalo. We used to
have a bunch of Bills mafia guys that call the show,
and then they gagged in the playoffs against Kansas City
and they all vanished. So Executive Brandon Bean spoke as
many NFL executives did this week in the lead up
to the draft, and he said that the big cheese
there in Western New York said that he does not
(08:00):
believe the Bills need a true number one wide receiver
this season. This is, of course, after they finally did
what everyone knew was going to happen. They unloaded Stefan
Digs into the transfer portal to the Texans for a
bag of worms. That's what they got, a bag of
(08:20):
worms for Stefan Diggs. Now, when asked specifically about this
the number one receiver, the GM there blabbed, No, what
you need are guys that in this offense are smart, versatile, selfless,
and can make the plays that their skill set allows
them to make. Okay, then, so let's expand on this.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Brandon Bean says, the Bills don't need a true number one.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Receiver this season. For Josh Allen, is that how you
see it? Is that how you see it? So on
this side of the microphone, I'm gonna go first because
I have the bully pulpit. Then you can go.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
So on this side of the microphone, I'm shaking my
head in actually I'm shaking my head. No, right, that's
what I'm shaking my head.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
This is a mortal combat quote. There's a mortal combat quote. Okay, Bean,
here's the way I see this in the cartoon bubble,
which is above my head. So Bean working as a ninja. Right,
he used the word selfless. That's a big word. We
parsed the words. Part of this job is parsing the words.
So the word selfless, you know what that is. That's
(09:25):
the mortal combat ninja. That is a subtle, passive, aggressive
shot poking Stefan Diggs, who is the antithesis of selfless. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
That is clearly a shot at Digs without formally taking
a shot at Diggs because dumb people don't understand the
nuance of the buffalo GM and Josh Allen, you know,
he didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Break out until he got Stefan Diggs. Now, they had
to get rid of the Digs because the bills got
tired of his Shenanigans. The only ones that didn't that
were the Bills mafia cats that couldn't believe it, but
they could no longer coexist anymore. But I will garon
Effen to you that the Bills they're gonna be trying
to get all these top receiver. You got a bunch
(10:14):
of receivers that are gonna be in the portal before
the draft. T Higgins and Cincinnati, Brandon Ayuk with the
forty nine ers, AJ Brown and Philadelphia, all of those
guys are in play. And there's others as well. All right,
last word, here we go to New England. Patriots have
a top three pick in the draft, number three. The
GM there guy named Elliott Wolf howling at the Moon
(10:37):
says that he has quote open for business. He said,
open for business to trade that number three pick. Is
this meaningful? So I'm gonna go yes on this one
that it is meaningful because to me, the way I
interpreted it, it means that New England does not believe
the third ranked player in this draft is much better
(10:59):
than the sixth to the tenth ranked player. Now, it's
also possible he's lying, right, It's lying season in the NFL.
But every GM my entire life, I've been behind a
microphone even before I was finding these stupid micro ropes
my entire life, Every general manager before the draft is said, yeah,
we're open to business. We're listening. You know, we're listening.
(11:19):
We don't want to trade to pick, but if we
get an offer, we'll listen. And I always love to
before the draft, we want to draft the best player available,
because these people in football are so stupid they don't
realize that the term best means a player as good
as all the rest. They don't quite grasp best. So
you're essentially saying, we just want to draft a good player.
But it sounds more impressive if you say we want
(11:42):
the best player. You're not gonna say we want the
top player, because if the player doesn't turn out to
be top the top in class, that's a bad look.
So these are all boiler plate responses. But I look
at the Patriots and they're like a smelly porridge of
poop that that roster and Elliott wolf Heads a couple
of weeks back, maybe a couple months ago, he said
(12:02):
the buck stops with him, not to reopen old wounds,
but the buck stops with him, and we haven't even
made it to the draft. He was bragging, pumping his
chest out with all this machizmall about how he's the
decision maker. You know, he's got final edit on final
cut on what the Patriots do and he's already publicly
waffling and.

go with Yeddie, right. That NHL team in Salt Lake's
gotta be YEDDI.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I hope. I saw a list of the names there
that they like trademarked in anticipation, and none of them
included Yetti.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
So that's not the website was somebody got. Maybe it
wasn't the NHL, but yet he would be perfect.
Speaker 5 (15:14):

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Are the names that were they trademarked? It was like
blizzard Salt Lake Blizzard Blizzard? Yeah, stupid. I don't know.

Little venom, quite venomous, so I could.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
See, Yes, I'm a venom, I'm a spider with.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Ve Utah Fury. And then they're taking a page out
of the Washington Commanders because they say they may not
have enough time to come up with the name, so
it could be the Utah Hockey Clubs.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Come on, it's yey.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Come on, yeah, I agree for Yeddy the yetti come on,
want jersey?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
I really do. I just want that gloating moment like
I said it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah you did, No, and YEDDI would be great. Who
doesn't like it yet? And and you're not like, you know,
all the Wokesers won't be upset. You know, there's no
like YETI support.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Group offending anyone.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, you know, now there might be furries that dress
like you you know that, and that might be proper
for them, but that you know, that's okay. They were right.
They wouldn't break the.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Furry a chance to dress up and go to the games.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
The furry community would all they would They would appreciate
the YETI because that would that's a that's a great take,
because that would allow them ectuality.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
They would be inclusive.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Exactly, and that's the big buzz word at the time.
Any so they should go for it. Absolutely over fee me.
This guy's always dare me. This him in ferg Dog
in the leadoff chair, Your FEMI in Chicago says a
plus and a box of oreos on the opening Mallor monologue.
These teams act, he said, like scouting and drafting is
like splitting the atom. Best player available makes fans feel
(17:17):
warm and fuzzy inside till the player sucks. Yeah, And
I was like everyone else. I had the naivea tay
as a child. And there was a point I blame
the Clippers for this, because the Clippers kept drafting guys
every year. They had this announcement nam Ralph Laller. Actually
I know Ralph a little bit. He's retired down Yeah,
(17:38):
holy smokers, faster in your seatbelt. But Ralph good guy.
I knew him when I was a kid. I'd listen
to Ralph and Ralph would be like, oh yeah, even
though the Clippers not a bad season, they have a
lot of repick, They're gonna have a top three pick
in the draft. They're gonna get a great player. And
every one of those players went out there and puked
all over the court and was terrible as a Clipper.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
And so after like six or seven years, I finally
realized this is a shell game. It's a fraud, and
it's the same thing in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Now, listen, some of these guys that are going to
draft next and be drafted next week will be great.
Sure they will. Absolutely every player comes out of the draft, right,
every good player comes out of the draft. I get it.
I understand that. But the success rate is so terrible, right,
It is so bad that it's not worth getting too
excited over. In my opinion, it a lot of people
(18:29):
did love it. Art Puffin says, a plus an extra
credit for the opening mill of monologue, thank you for
beginning with the NFL draft. Ben Joneson. He says, any anyhow,
my Dolphins will move up into the draft to snatch
up Dallas Turner. I could see them working something out
with the Bears at the number nine spot. Well, I
(18:50):
haven't looked at your mock draft there, Art Puffin, I've
not seen that. Firk Doug says, the draft is almost here. Ben,
are you ready to announce what day next week you're
going to do your yearly NFL mock Draft special? Personally,
it's my favorite thing that you do. Yeah, I know
your tongue is firmly planted in your cheek. There, Fergy,
(19:12):
good old ferg dog. What I do every year? Wait?
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Wait, wait, can I give you a drum roll? If
you're gonna present it?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Well, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Oh okay, yeah, she was so excited to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well, you can do the drum roll whenever you want,
and it's fine to do it all right. Here we
go big.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
For the twenty fifth consecutive year. I will be doing
my mocking of.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
The NFL Draft next week. This is Eddiewhere we go
back because a lot of GMS years ago would say,
don't judge the draft. You've gotta let it breathe. You've
got to wait three or four years or five years,
let it breathe. Right, so we're gonna go back. We
let it breathe. We're gonna go look back and see
who fed up the draft from years ago.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
It's fun, it's a.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Fun thing to do, right. Fine, We've done that for
a long time, doing it right week. Losers. I love losers.
I'm a fan of losers. That is true most of
the time. Lately not so much. You know, teams, My
teams have won every couple of years. Late Night Drug
tester says Marvin Harrison Junior has nothing to worry about.
If he doesn't get what he wants, his old man
(20:16):
and will handle it like he did at the car wash. Wow,
all right, Yeah, for sure. Remember the quote that Marvin
Harrison gave the old man to the I think there's
a Washington Post. I was doing my blog, my gossip
sports blog, and it was a great quote because he
said he wished NFL teams could play in empty stadiums.
(20:40):
If only Marvin Harrison had been in the NFL when
COVID happened, he would have gotten his wish. But he
wanted that was true of the plane. He hated the
fans playing in front of the fans so much he
wanted to play an empty stated which actually did happen,
which we all like to forget. Shane from the Moin
rites and he says, hey, plus on the fourth hour
Mallard model from yesterday.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Good job by you. That was a lot of blame
to go around. But somehow I'd blame man fraud.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
For this too. I like that you're giving reviews from
yesterday's monologue. I appreciate that. Supermarcus Steve writes in from
Sokeal says, can we talk about the Tampa Bay reliever
who went straight TOWRTS? I sucked and I sucked at
a time that I couldn't suck.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
That was a good sound bite. Did you hear that?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
We play that right now? Do we have that warmed up? Eddie?
Can you find that I've not I've not heard that,
but I love I love the sounder. I'm I'm a
fan that you would channel Torts because that's my favorite SoundBite.
I quote that. I quote that pretty much every day.
I don't think there's a day that goes by that
I don't quote Torts. He's he's like Edward. I'm trying
(21:48):
to think like Edgar Allan Powell or something like that.
He's like really a poet that was poetry sucked from
head to toe, sucked at a time you cannot suck.
All of those are classic lines from John Tortorella, who
is coaching the Flyers and was horrible as a broadcaster.
I remember when I briefly worked at the NBC Sports Network,
(22:10):
which had the rights to the NHL, in beautiful Stanford, Connecticut,
and I told one of the executives in the NBC,
I said, this guy towarts Man, you got to get
this guy on TV. And Guy's like, well, he already
worked in TV, and he wasn't he wasn't that great.
You know, Okay, I didn't even know. I didn't even know.
I had no no idea.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
All right, we do have the sound.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
We have the audict. We why don't we we're playing now,
we talk, let's play now. This is uh, what's this
guy's name here?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
His name is Pete Fairbanks, the great Pete Fairbanks.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Okay, old game show host named Fairbanks. Here's Pete Fairbanks
and this is his comment therey. Let's sit back and
enjoy the comment.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
There.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It's got quiet today, didn't have a lot.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
To very very loud.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Here yeah, what's up with that, Eddie? I thought I
thought he would be loud.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
And I'm sorry that's my fault.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Hold on, I think I think that's user air ready.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Yep, yeah right, yea too with old Pete, Old.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Pete Fairbanks, Tampa Bay Let's tig it.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
No, I thought it generally sucked. I didn't think it
was a specific suck. I thought it was like an
all encompassing type of suck. So we're gonna try and
rectify that. But for I now, I'm gonna be pretty
pissed about it.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
All.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
That's an that's an addendum. That's an addition.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
That's where he's from here. You tell me I've tried that.
You got an answer I'd love to hear.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Just you know, I'm not gonna let it beat me
up for you know, maybe give it till ten. It's
nine forty four right now, and give it sixteen minutes
of salt, and then we'll, you know, get back on
the bump and then figure it out.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I got a time limit on his pissed office.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I like that guy, Pete Fairbanks. He's my new favorite
Tampa Bay Ray. You know who My last favorite Tampa
Bay Ray was No didn't have one, So this is
my new favorite Tampa Bay Ray. That's great. I thought
I generally sucked. I didn't think it was a specific suck.
I thought it was an all encompassing.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
It's very very thoughtful about it.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Right, you know what, Eddie, I'm going to add that
to my repertoire. I will now be quoting the great
Pete Fairbanks. I will I will add that encompassing. So good,
all right, I'm adding that. I'm going to add that, Eddie.
I'm going to add that to my my machine. All right,
So is it true that Eddie Garcia's Chargers have closed
(24:39):
in They're close to having a adding a big name
pass catcher. This comes from NFL insider, not Adam Schefter,
not Jay Glazer. What's the other guy at the NFL?
What's the guy's name in the NFL networked that does
the inside? I forget his name, but anyway, don't matter.
This came from an amazing NFL insider, Antonio Brown, who
(25:00):
reporting that wide receiver Michael Thomas is closing in on
a deal to play for the Chargers. Now, this is
very awkward for this show. If this is true and
Antonio Brown has shockingly actually broken some NFL stories on
his little whatever he calls it. What is he called
the CM or CTESPN or something like that. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
(25:25):
he wants to do so, you know, it's a tongue
in cheek thing, and but he's gotten some of these stories. Right.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
He actually had the new uniforms for the for the
Broncos and the Lions.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
He had though or the Texans.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I think it was Texans and Lions anyway, So he's, uh,
he's sawn out that out there.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
That's awkward for the show because our friend Holliday, we
haven't heard him in a while. But Holiday is related
to Michael Thomas. Michael Thomas was a friend of the
show for a while. Indirectly we were supporting Michael Thomas
and then there was a falling out. But Michael Thomas
is from southern California. He's got family here and so
it makes sense to come back. But he hasn't played
(26:05):
any real football in years, like he's ever since he
got the big contract. He's been hurt and hadn't played.
So it's a hot mess.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven PM Pacific.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
You mentioned this a little bit briefly talking about the
nickname for the new Utah team. But it is official.
The NHL Board of Governors voting earlier on Thursday to
officially approve the move of the Arizona hockey team to Utah.
So all the players and well any of the employees
I guess that want to move to Salt Lake City
or general manager, your scouts, all those folks are all
(26:40):
heading to the state of Utah, and the Coyotes name
will be staying back in Arizona in case a build
an arena and can get an expansion franchise in the
next few years. But it is official. NHL Hockey in
Salt Lake City, Utabe.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
We have a quote starting next week from Gary Bedman.
He he said no, Nona, Hey, goodbye. No, he did
not say that. He did not say that. I was
out of context. That must have been butt Crack Sports
that reported that, Eddie. I can't believe they would report that.
That's unbelievable. It is the Bane Mallor show. As we
(27:16):
continue on, and remember, I hope this show is okay.
I do not want this show to be an all
encompassing type of suck. I don't want that at all.
The great Tampa Bay closer there, Pete Fairbanks, God bless
his soul. Just a wonderful, wonderful quote. I love that
so much, love that so much. We'll get to the
(27:36):
calls in a secon. I didn want to mention this
because this is something that we had all predicted, but
it's not exactly how we thought it was going to go.
This is the lullaby of Pigskin. So Taylor Swift, I
know the Swift. He's very excited. She has dropped a
new album. What's the name. I don't remember the name
of it. What's the name of it? The name of
(27:57):
the new album, I don't know the name.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Some like Tortured Poet Society.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Tortured Poets Society, Okay, there it is, or Department or
something like that.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Not because I know you're not a swiftye. No, you know,
I'm really not.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
No, really, Yeah, I find her annoying.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
I think the hype around it is annoying because.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
He's too popular.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Yeah, it's just too much.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Oh, I got you all right, Well, she did drop
this got a lot of people excited. I guess it
seems like it. I don't know if that's true or not,
but most of the album, from what I was reading
here about her exes. She loves to write about men
she used to like and no longer likes. But it
(28:39):
turns out that there was a little something referencing Travis Kelcey. Hmm, yeah,
so I read this album of the tabloids in the
fifteenth track, which likely mean the last one of the
(29:01):
last tunes that she made. The lyrics to the chorus are,
so when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut
them from the team. Ditch the clowns, get the clown baby.
I'm the one to be because the sign on your
heart said it's reserved for me. Oh, unbelievable. There's another
(29:22):
verse where she referenced put a socking you mouth, no beer,
but the touchdown thing. The Swifties are convinced that that's
definitely a reference to Travis Kelsey. Now for her to
mention Kelsey by name in a song, they have to
break up and then he'll get the name mentioned in
the song.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
I think these sports reference in general just says a lot,
because she never really references sports in her music.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
But how do you know you're not.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
I guess you know, I guess the sidelines and the
bleachers from that one song.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Right.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Hey, just because I'm not a fan doesn't mean I
don't know the songs.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
You sure about that?
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
What's your what's your go to music?
Speaker 6 (29:59):
I'm pretty poppy, I really am.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Well Taylor Swift. It doesn't get any more poppy than
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
That doesn't mean I'm a swifty though.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Okay you like Do you like Poppy in San Diego?
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:10):
He's great.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Oh no, you're gonna give it up his ego. That
was not what I was looking for. Shine, all right,
that's your Poppy in San Diego. Hello Poppy, Hello, thanks
for that lovely introduction.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Thanks for right now dropping those kids, Uh, the Lorena
the Queen here, and you know, it's a great night
right here, you know, in San Diego. And I know
you guys have been talking a lot about basketball. Ben
Mallard about the first game up it is a he
we got the Miyami here without Jimmy Butler. They're gonna
be playing to you know, the Chicago Bulls that game.
(30:49):
I'm really feeling a Hi. May Honk Quiz Junior from
UCLA I know you guys love him over there in LA.
We're gonna take the Miami Heat on the money and
I minus one twenty five. That's what I'm on that one.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Wait, yeah, did you know Jimmy Butler is not playing?
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Yeah? But you know what, I'm a big NBA guru.
And when when the Miami Heat they have a like
I said, HEIMI Junior from U C. L A.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I know you like. I know you like the fact
that he is of a Latin heritage. I get that.
But they still don't have Jimmy Butler. So who cares?
Speaker 8 (31:25):
Well, Well, they got big president. You're forgetting. They got
Bamade Bayo. He's gonna do a big president.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Okay, he'll get you'll get twelve, He'll get twelve points. Okay,
who else?
Speaker 8 (31:35):
So, so they got Batman de Bayo, they got.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You're betting the Heat as a two point home favorite
without Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Okay, well not only that, Well, let me tell you
something else, Ben Mallard, you know why think he's gonna
be there? Scott Foster. Scott Foster is gonna be wrapped
by here.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We go man, You and Scott Foster.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Mike, Hey, he's a he's a best friend.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
All right, what's the other game? Hurry up the other game.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
The other game. We're going with the King. They're gonna
Zion will.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Wait. So why that makes no sense? Your logic is flawed.
You're picking my best player, but you're picking against the
Pelicans because they don't have Zion Williamson. It makes no sense.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
No, it does.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
But you know because he doesn't with the.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
Kings because I picked him over the Warriors last night.
I'm sticking with the Kings.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And you don't have to see you're a gamble. That's
a that's a dumb gambler. You don't stick with the
team because you picked them in the last game. That's stupid.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Shut you every You gotta look at every that's a
new level of sucking.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
You gotta look at every poppy. You gotta look at
every game.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
No, who's gonna stop the bonus from the Pelicans? Oh
my god, you tell them whos gonna stop the bonus?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You couldn't name four players on the Pelicans poppy if
I can.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
They got brandon Ingram, they got the callum right, And
you want me to keep on going Zion Williams. You
want me to keep on going.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
He's not playing. He's not playing. You keep going here?
Who's who? Do you think that? Who's the center for
the Pelgants who destroyed the Kings when they played head
to head by the way in the regular season.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
But I can't pronounce it, but it starts with that be.
It's like the flint. He's like from he's like from
your up or something. I can't pronounce it.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
And they have a what about Jose Alvo Modo? You
didn't say his name the way you talked about the
guy from he Jonas Valentunis is who the center is.
Who's pretty good. He's not a bad player, he's all right.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Yeah, but the bonus is better. And then you got
there boss and the king's away. I like Miami d.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I know, But what you don't like Jose Alrodo? How
about you know you don't like him? What's up with that?
Speaker 8 (33:41):
No? No, you know, well, josel Borado, that's when he
got in a fight with the last fight when he
was fighting, you know, and they got a technical with
the Russell right.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Russell, all right, I gotta go, thank you? All right?
How did we end up back with picking with Poppy?
I thought we had agreed that Poppy was gonna do
other stick. I thought that was the whole deal, that
he was going to move on to other stick, And
now we're back to picking with Poppy. He doesn't want
to lose his worst caller title. Yeah, well, he's certainly
on his way to We've had real competition this year
(34:11):
in the next round of the Bennies. Oh my God,
time out for the who Am I? Game? A blatant
attempt to get you to listen a little bit longer,
and going in to play on Thursday, I had the
lowest strikeout percentage among all hitters in the Big League
so far this season. My strikeout percentage entering Thursday was
(34:35):
just two point two percent of my at bats. Again,
entering play on Thursday, I had the lowest strikeout percentage
among hitters in MLB so far this season, at just

We'll get to the who am I game in a second.
Our buddy fry Daddy in Pennsylvania hooked us up this
week with a bunch of tasty cakes. He says, it's official.
Lorena is one of us. She doesn't care for Taylor Swift.
She's not a swiftye. Then he says, we got a
good one. Do not let her go to the dreaded
day Ship. Well, she did work on the Great Bird
(35:48):
shift Frow, but she's with us. Now, here's the who
am I? Game? Entering Thursday, I had the lowest strikeout
percentage among hitters in the Big League so far this season,
at just two zero point two percent. Who am I?
That is the question? What is the answer? Art Puffin says,
I am groot that is the answer. Steve Bouchell good
(36:11):
old Texas ranger from many years ago from mister nice Guy.
Who else do we have? Pat Sajak from The Cowboy Killer?
Rick Murant moranis from Fergduck. I don't know what Ferg
Doug looks like, but in my head he looks like
Rick moranis I just I visioned him looking like that?
Who else do we have a page? Dan Crypto Ray
(36:33):
wants us to do something. I don't see what I'll
read that later. Who a weed Chiller? A weed Cilla?
I'm sure Coop will be up for that. Maria Sharapova,
who is thirty seven today? Guess by the late night
drug tester Lakers legend James Worthy from Shane into Mont
James looking pretty good there. That's a nice photo you
found of him. I'm sure he's happy about that. The
(36:53):
King Rory says pet Bridge Farms remembers when poppy was banned.
Scott in Rhode Island says the ex on Lizzo's back
that a helicopter tried to land on Well, that's not
very nice, but lame jokes are coming up in our
number three Big Ben's lame jokes of the Week. Scott
pod Sednik from Alf the Alien, Opiner, The King of Cliches.
(37:18):
Scott pod Sednick, Surge guests by Milkman Mike in Colorado,
William Hung from Yaphomi. That's it's a Russef friend of
the show no longer going by the name Rousseff from
Scorpio Niner in the Bay. Who else do we have?
Page down? Stuck in Sacramento says the answer is Poppy
(37:39):
in San Diego, striking out trying to guess Lizzo's weight
within three hundred pounds. Manny Sangian, there's a good name
from Robin, Minnesota, Double O Mexican going with Wally Joyner
Dodger coach Andrey Dawson from will Mark Will called will
we don't give last name? JJ from Renton guessed by
Anthony and anaheim Ah we miss JJ from Written. He
(38:02):
calls like once every six months now he used to
call all the time. Masshole Mickey says, the answer is
puppy long Spocking is the answer. The grim Reaper Stuck
Grimson from Big Lou. I love Stu Grims. He was
a goon on the ducks when I covered the ducks
back in the day, and it was he wrote like
children's books and stuff. It was odd because he was
(38:23):
like the tough guy. He was the muscle on the team.
Vincent said, it was so nice of you to put
Poppy on. I turned the show off. Well, thank you
for that. I like that. You have to announce you
turn the show. Just turn the show off. Okay, it's fine,
We'll get ten other people to turn the show on.
Do you understand all right, Eddie? Do you have an answer? Eddie?
It is not Jackson Merrill who turns twenty one on Friday.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Here, I believe it's Jaguars GM Trent Balky, who, according
to justin Cincinnati, farted during a press conference earlier.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Well, he did fart. We will have more on that.
He did the Jim. We'll have more on that. That'd
be part of a malad monologue later on in the show.
But the correct answer a guy that we mentioned earlier
in the show, Jock Peterson of the Diamondbacks. There we go, Pearls.
He was leading baseball in the lowest strikeout percentage two
(39:14):
point two percent, and I mentioned I was watching the
Diamondbacks Giants game, and so of course he struck out.
So he no longer leads in that category, but he
did at the beginning of the day. He did have
the leads, so the question still stands. The way the
question was phrased, the question was not incorrect. So the
great Jock Peterson, that's your answer.
