(01:23):
The Way Tire Buying showb and our lead This or
Not from the NFL Draft, although it is finally arrived,
we are at d Day. It's here, the NFL Draft.
We've only been talking about this for how many months now?
Since the Super Bowl ended a couple months. It seems
like it's been more than that. If I read one
(01:44):
more mock draft, I'm jumping off the curb.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
That's it. I'm jumping off the curb. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Our lead is from pro bouncy ball. We need to
kind of upclass this show. We're gonna We're gonna go
to the garden. Who doesn't like gardening? Only the Celtics
don't like guarding. Boston and Miami meeting Game two, opening
round matchup?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Did you watch? I looked at the ratings. Probably not.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I have no fear. Underdog is here. I watched, so
you would not have to. So someone named Tyler Hero,
but it spelled with an extra R. Tyler Hero twenty
four points, fourteen assists, knocked down six money balls, and
a partries in a pear tree that he'd had twenty
three three pointers. I didn't play in the NBA, but
(02:32):
I'm told that's a lot. The most in fact in
that franchise is playoff history. They have been in a
lot of playoff games there in Miami. So the Heatles
get a one to eleven to one oh one upset victory.
As Joe public took it in the shorts, many people
assuming that was free money.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
There's no way.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Miami can compete with Boston loading up on the Celtics. Well,
obviously that did not happen here, and so that means
the top seeded Celtics, who had the greatest regular season
in a very long time for that franchise, and some
would say the greatest all time regular season depending on
what you look at, they are now tied up. It's
(03:15):
a best of five series and the heat have home
court advantage. Miami shot fifty three percent from beyond the arc.
It's like moneyball, Mallard, It's like how I shoot? But
Game one they got blown out, come back win Game two.
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
So Jalen Brown, who is the robin to batman? That
(03:38):
would be Jason Tatum in Boston. Jalen Brown afterwards, he
said the Celtics had guys they wanted shooting the ball
from Miami, they just weren't hitting them, and that they
had decent closeouts. Now, Joe Mizzoula said pretty much the
same thing. That was the company line, that was the
talking point. So let us discuss does the Jalen Brown
(04:00):
slash Missoula explanation for the Celtics loss?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Does that work for you?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So I've got after Burners Prosecutor and Kentucky Derby and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a head scratcher, which I would
argue that game was a head scratcher. Like typically what
happens in that sport is the better team wins. And yeah,
(04:28):
the team that's the shorthanded team can hang around for
three quarters, but then in the fourth quarter the better
team pulls away and wins the game.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That obviously did not happen. But answer the question, does
the Jalen Brown explanation with Joe Mizzoula does.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That work for you? And No, I'm shaking my head. No,
Jalen Brown's justification is dubious at best. The Celtic perimeter
defense I would compare it to the consistency of a
Boston cream pie. During the broad Maybe I imagine this,
I don't know, Maybe I did.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I was watching, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Getting hemorrhoids sitting watching the TNT broadcast. They highlighted some
of the closeouts and the hands were down, they weren't up. Now,
as far as the coaching, we can argue, we can
debate what percentage of this goes to coaching. It made,
say thirty percent. The seas were caught also just generally
(05:26):
sniffing themselves. They expected this to be easy street, But
what about let him play Joe Joe Missoula, who went
into this game and he didn't take stupid pills. He
took doc Rivers pills. And it looked watching it like
Missoula just expected this to be easy. Like the players,
(05:47):
and they had an analytical outline of how they wanted
to play the Celtics. It wasn't working, and so he
essentially just said, ah, efitt, I guess we're gonna lose
this game. That's it, you know, just I'm gonna stubbornly
continue my game plan. I'm not gonna make any kind
of in game adjustments. You know that didn't work. Nerds
didn't have the right game plan. It's over. And as
(06:10):
far as the players who get more of it, a
shame bell. I'm gonna give the biggest shame belt to
Jason Tatum. A lot of people picking on Chris Dops,
Porzingis and some other players on the cellies. But Jason
Tatum is supposed to be that guy. He's supposed to
be that guy, and I've seen him be that guy.
I have watched him be that guy. He was not
(06:31):
that guy in this game. Now, if you didn't see
the game, he just read.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The box score.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Who went bed? What are you talking about? You can't
believe him. He had his normal stadline. He didn't shoot poorly.
Let me elaborate for those of you a little slow,
you might be on the spectrum. So Jason Tatum, this
is the game you put on the old after burners.
And he couldn't find the after burner. Couldn't find it.
Fourth quarter. Perzingis sucked at a time you cannot suck.
(06:55):
And there were plenty of other people that stunk as well.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But man, Jason Tatum, even when with all the three
point shots hitting nothing but net, you still have the
opportunity to win that game. Tatum makes a couple of
plays in the hustle and bustle of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
You win the game, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Now, moving to the next chapter.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
A beef in La La Land finger pointing in the
Kingdom of the Purple and Gold say it ain't so
see might remember we answered this in a previous episode
of the show. It was after game two, if you
can remember. Back to game two in Denver, Anthony Davis
claimed that the Lakers have stretches during these games where
(07:38):
they don't know what they're doing on both ends of
the floor, like they have this mental like fog that
takes over. So, of course, Laker coach Darvin Ham was
asked about that. He attempted to refute the unibrows claim.
Of course he did, saying if things don't go right,
the players get frustrated him praise his coaching staff, and
(08:02):
he said he would just chalk that up to frustration
from losing the game, talked about emotion and how the
game ended. He said, I'll agree to disagree on that one.
So you've got Darvin Ham disagreeing with Anthony Davis and
Davis's belief that the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Don't know what they're doing for stretches of the game.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Who's right? So nobody's right. Everyone loses, And here's let
me explain why. All right, I'm gonna get out my
ven diagram and explain exactly why I'll get my t
illustrator as well, so here it's a radio straighter. So
let me explain, all right, If the Lakers know what
they're supposed to be doing, as Darvin Ham says, and
(08:47):
they're not executing, that is on both the coaches and
the players. The coaches unable to get them to execute,
the players unwilling to execute. If they don't know what
they're supposed to be doing, that's on the coaches. Either way.
Darvin Ham is the fall guy for all this. We
(09:08):
were just asked in a question on Mallard of the
third Degree about Darvin Ham and his long term viability
as Laker coach. And my take then, and I haven't changed,
my take is an outcome determined result. The Lakers have
not had a problem getting rid of coaches. Yeah, they
had Phil Jackson for a while. He left for a
(09:29):
year because he didn't like Kobe Bryant, and then he
came back and they had way back pat Riley. But
other than that, they usually go through a lot of coaches.
That's not a long term job they're coaching. The Lakers
asked Frank Vogel about that. But there's an old line
in political and not political in judicial circles, and the
(09:51):
line goes, I'm paraphrasing because I don't work in that world.
But a good prosecutor can indict a Ham's sandwich. You
might have heard that before, right, You can pretty much
indict anything. If you're a good prosecute You can find
some some vague law that somebody broke. But Darvinham, what
(10:12):
I'm trying to say here, he's in the deep end
our last word? Quickly, we go to Wisconsin where Bucks
forward Bobby Portis addressed the trash talk from the Indiana
basketball team. This is following the game to win by
the Pacers. Now portus. The reason I'm bringing this up
is because it was extra spicy. It was a spicy margarita.
(10:34):
So Portis snap, he said, quite frankly. They are front runners, bro.
He sounds like Blake Snow front runners, bro.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He said. When the s I didn't say the word,
unlike our callers.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
When the poopy going good, they laughing, Portis said, clapping
all that.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
When it's going bad, they not saying nothing. I think
there were some words missing. But Portis ranted and rant
and all that. All right, So where are you at on?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Bobby portis essentially calling the pacers he did front runners,
not essentially he said the word front runners. So here's
my position. It is true, perhaps, but irrelevant. True perhaps,
but irrelevant because spoiler alert, that is how sports work.
Everyone is giggling and smiling and happy when they're winning,
(11:25):
and when they're losing, they sulk, and if they don't sulk,
we goof on them.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
That's how it works.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That's why the mantra of this show, the better story
is in the losing locker room.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
The Bucks are a perfect example.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
If Milwaukee had won that game, does Bobby Portis call
the other team front roaders?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Of course not. It's kind of like the.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Kentucky Derby or thoroughbred racing in general. If you've ever
bet the ponies, they have done study after study. Front
Runners have the best winning percentage of any run style.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
There's like four different run styles, and a thoroughbred race.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
The style that would be the opposite of front runners
the hold up style, where you kind of save it.
It's just kind of in the pack or in the back,
and then you wait for the stretch run to close
it out.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
In team sports, it's called sandbagging, where.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You just kind of hang around and then let the
other team think they're gonna win and you knock them
out at the end. But that's got the worst win
rate in in horse race anyway. But most of these
games are like a Harvard boat race. You jump out ahead,
you get.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
A big lead.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Everyone's in a blue moon, as Andrea the astrology goddess
would say, the moon goddess.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
A team comes back from twenty down, but that does
not make it the norm. Most of the time, you
go up by twenty or twenty five points to thirty points,
you win the game, and when you don't win the game,
that becomes something that people go crazy over.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere right next
door as we move at a galatial pace coast duck coast, border,
the border, and beyond on the vast in sizeably powerful
(14:10):
microphones of fsre emmnating live from the box we stand

from the tiraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will

(14:34):
Cowboy Drew's busy playing that video game, the Farming Game,
but he thinks that's a lot tire raq dot com
the way tire buying should be in our lead this
hour from the Downtown Athletic Club in New York City.
For many, many years that was the hub of the
(14:55):
Heisman Trophy. Major decision was made. You I might have
heard about it, maybe not as this is NFL Draft day,
but somebody that was drafted years ago into the NFL
and won a Heisman and then lost to Heisman.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Well new development.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
The Heisman Trust has announced that it is formally quote
reinstating Reggie Bush fourteen years after the USC football star
said bye bye to the twenty zero five Heisman Trophy
because of what was at the time a major violation
(15:34):
that was sanctioned against USC football because Reggie Bush was
getting paid. Oh my god, a name, image and likeness
changes were behind the move. They were referenced in a
prepared statement released by the Heisman folks, and this has
led to the pearl clutching crowd saying, oh my god,
(15:56):
this is just the tip of the spear. So let
us discuss the question Reggie Bush getting the Heisman Trophy back.
Does this open up a can of worms for the
NCED double A. So I've got testimonial Jimmy Cliff and
Golden Fleece, and we will combine all of these things
(16:18):
together and we are going to wreck havoc, which many
people seem to think is going to happen to the
NC double a because of this now number.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Wha, Yeah, Lorraina might have been taking about of food.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
There may try that again. Number on a little better.
It's a little better, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So some breathless reactions to the Reggie Bush news.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I always enjoy the over the top reactions. The sky
is falling, it's armageddon. I enjoyed that. I live for them.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
So the claims are, if you haven't been paying attention,
that this opens up Pandora's box, that since Reggie Bush
has got the heisman back schools like Southern Methodists better
known as SMU.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
If you're old, you remember, you know, forty years ago.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They got the death penalty because Eric Dickerson was getting
paid in other people Ohio State players. More recently, they
were getting compensated for memorabilia with tattoos and other things.
Remember the Tennessee story where players were walking around with
McDonald's bags filled with cash. And to that, to the
idea that all of those things now are in play,
(17:27):
that there'll be lawsuits here, there and everywhere, to that,
we say, take a breath, because I spent one minute
of my life that I will not get back. A
minute long mallor review.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
And after that investigation, the answer is no. And here's why.
Reggie Bush. Let me say this very carefully and slowly.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Reggie Bush got his trophy back from the Heisman Trust,
not the NCAA. These are two completely independent operations. What
this is, though, is a testimonial to the power of
money and the power of the University of Southern California
(18:10):
Alumni Association. There were thousands of dollars, not of Reggie
Bush's money, that were spent. There was a grassroots movement.
This has been going on for four or five years
at least. I know driving around Los Angeles that there
were billboards up off the four h five Freeway and
(18:31):
some other places saying give Reggie Bush.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Back his Heisman. You probably mean, why would that matter?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It doesn't matter because the Heisman folks live in New York,
They're not in LA. But this is more of a
symbolic win for Reggie Bush, and a lot of it's
because of the bots on social media and the uproar
on the socials, But it doesn't change the NCAA situation
(18:58):
and Reggie Bush. For those that have not followed and
read the fine print, Reggie Bush from what I understand
is still involved in a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA
over comments they made about the heisman. So it is
conceivable that the fact that Reggie Bush is getting back
the heisman will help will help that argument saying, hey,
(19:20):
you slandered me, and you know you defane me, and
now I got my trophy back. But that'll be decided
by the courts. Stay tuned. Now page two, we shuffle
off to the NFL. It is a big day on
the calendar if you're a draft nick, if you're a nerd,
if you enjoy random names of people being read.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
The draft is such a spectacle now.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I have a love hate relationship with it. It's so
over the top. They bring in celebrities and it's a
dog and pony show. And you know, there was like
the Marriott Marquee in Times Square they had the NFL
DR half when I was a kid, and it was
a bunch of middle aged people sitting around and there
(20:06):
was just not all going on.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
There was no real entertainment value.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Now they try to jazz it up, and for some
people it works. I watched the top ten picks and
then I'm out. Now this is not about the NFL Draft,
because there's a story out of Detroit where the draft
is being held, but we're told that Jared Goff is
not is not getting a contract extension with the Lions
(20:30):
anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Now that's newsworthy because the Detroit football.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Team robbed a couple of banks and they signed their
star tackle, Penny School to a big contract. I'm on
ross Saint Brown got a massive contract, but not the quarterback.
So thumbs up or thumbs down? Thumbs up thumbs down?
Are the Lions making a tactical error not extending Jared Goff,
(20:56):
So I'm gonna go thumbs down. I do not believe
they are making a tactical mistake. I don't buy that
this is actually a wise move for the Detroit football team.
Jared Goff is entering a lame duck season, which I'm
okay with, right, I'm okay with that, And clearly the
Lions are okay unless they fold before.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Training camp, which could still happen.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Right, But as we are talking right now, we have
to worry about the show today. We can't worry about
the show tomorrow. We can't worry about the show in
July when training camp o. But as we're doing the
show today. The Lions are holding.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Firm, and that's okay, and they should do that.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
The musical melody for this story at this point is
a Jimmy Cliff classic from the seventies, Action Speak Louder
than Words. Jared Goff is an afterthought. He's not a priority,
not a priority. He's on track to become a free
agent in twenty twenty five. Now the move here, which
seems rarely due because the players hate it. The Lions
(21:54):
could place the dreaded franchise tag on Jared Goff so
they can get Hi an extra year after that. Now,
occasionally that backfires, And I also fully am open and
admit that I still have PTSD from watching Jared Goff
with the Rams. He's actually been better with the Lions.
He's a mid level quarterback, which is all you really need.
(22:17):
You can win a Super Bowl with a mid level quarterback.
Ask Nick Foles about that. But I just he's not
my guy, So I'm fine with the Lions making him
sweat a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It's not my money, all right. Final point, We have
a tradition on this show. A lot of the things
that we've done. We've done this for a while, and
one of the things that we do is we hold
football executives accountable. If you watch the draft and you
consume the draft, you will often hear executives and coaches say,
do not judge the draft right away. You can't judge
(22:49):
the draft right away. Now, I realize that on Sunday
night and Monday, there will be immediate.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Report cards on the draft. We'll probably do one tomorrow
because I gotta fill content.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
So they always say, let it marinate, don't judge your
book by its cover, all those cliches. Okay, fine, okay,
that's fine. So they do this, of course, because they
have plausible deniability. They figured that no one will actually
go back and do it. Enter the Ben Maler Show.
You want to bet on that? All right, So give me.
Let's go back. We're gonna set the hot top time
machine to twenty twenty. Oh boy, that was a bad year, pandemic.
(23:23):
Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly of
the twenty twenty NFL Draft. The good, the bad, and
the ugly. So the good, all right, the good is
the number w.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
N.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I want to pick Joe Burrow, the NFL's second ranked
quarterback on Maler's big board, behind Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is
way ahead. He's like secretariat. But Joe Burrow's number two,
he's number two.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
The Vikings.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
They got Justin Jefferson in that draft in the first round.
Ce D Lamb drafted by Dallas. So that's that's the good.
Also there's actually those guys are great and put them
in a great category, certainly Jefferson and Burrow ceedee.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Lamb's on he's on the de.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Fence on that.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
But the good players, the good, the bad, and the
other the good players to a tongue, abay lola Justin Herbert,
I said good, not great, Like they put up big numbers.
I don't trust Tua in a big game. I don't
trust Herbert in the big game. But they're good stat guys.
And a lot of people love stat guys, and the
good stat guys so fine. The bad Hail to the
(24:33):
red Skins. Like I said, we're called they call the
Washington football team. In twenty twenty, I can't keep track,
but the team in Washington took a defensive end named
Chase Young who is built like a Donnis and plays
like cookie Monster.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
So he was drafted number two.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And then Detroit they drafted a defensive back named Jeff
Akuda with the number two pick or number three pick
in that in that draft, and so both those guys
are on on their third team now, which I'm told
is not good. The ugly, the absolute ugliest of the ugly,
I would argue be doing this for a long time.
(25:11):
This is the single most embarrassing, humiliating draft in the
history of this show that we have broken down. For
first round fix the ugly of the ugliest, the Golden Fleece.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Award goes to the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
That's right, the Raiders that draft in the first round.
This was the draft they picked wide receiver Henry Ruggs
with the twelfth overall pick and a defensive back named
David Barnett from Ohio State with the number nineteen pick.
Since that draft, Barnett was arrested on gun and meth charges.
Ruggs is currently in jail in Nevada, serving three to
(25:49):
ten years in prison. You might remember the twenty twenty
one drunk driving crash that killed a young lady in
Vegas and her dog. They were barbecued alive because of
Rugs and they were both drafted in the first round
of the twenty twenty draft.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
That's that's not ugly, that's like something lower than ugly.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And let me point out also for those that have
been convinced that the draft is the Holy Land and
you're going to get amazing players. Every year, your team's
gonna get one or two great players. So in the
twenty twenty draft, there were two hundred and fifty five
players selected. Out of those two hundred and fifty five players,
(26:30):
how many of them have made a first team All Pro?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
That's the highest honor you can get.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Pro Bowl doesn't matter. Pro Bowl is a volleyball game,
highest honor in the NFL, and the only honor that
really matters is first team All Pro. How many players
drafted in twenty twenty, two hundred and fifty five, how
many of them were First team up roll right pens
Down survey says seven.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
That's it. That's all now.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Using malar math on the the back of the napkin
back of the napkin math.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
That works out to two point seven percent.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Of the players drafted in twenty twenty, many of them
are not even in the NFL anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
They're now working real jobs.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Because he didn't work out for them, but a two
point seven percent hit rate.

Speaker 8 (27:35):
Jamie Daniels said in a recent interview that he wants
to surpass Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson as the best
running quarterback of all time. Ben, do you see that
potential in Daniels?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I like the high expectations, the setting the bar high,
and I did enjoy watching Jade and Daniels play at LSU.
He looks way too skinny. They gotta fatten him up. Man,
I'm gonna go No. I think he'll He'll be okay.
I don't see him surpassing Lamar Jackson's already won two MVPs.
(28:06):
I don't see him doing that next.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
An NFL writer made an interesting prediction this week when
he said that bow Knicks will get drafted ahead of
JJ McCarthy. Ben, are you buying that prediction?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Well, not based on everything I've read.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I know it's lying season, but they have been sucking
the toes of JJ McCarthy and they've been ripping bow Nicks.
So we'll find out if that was a big fat lie.
But bo Nicks apparently sucked at his pro day. People
are down on him. But you know he's going to
be drafted in the first couple of rounds. I don't
think he'll be I'm gonna go No, McCarthy gets drafted
ahead of him, So I'm on the record.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
JJ eight passes a week for Michigan gets drafted ahead next.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Victor wembin Yama recently told a French newspaper that he's
only reached fifteen percent of the player that he will
be at his prime. Ben, do you think we've only
seen a small fraction of what Wemby will be?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Well, what do they say about stats? You know stats, stats,
and then you know lies. I mean, how does he
know fifteen percent? How does he know it's not seventeen percent?
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Or he looks amazing.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
He sucked at the beginning of the year and then
he got control over his game and uh yeah, this
guy's gonna be dominating for the next twenty years.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
How do we do you pass this edition that is.
Speaker 7 (29:11):

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Okay, oh me, I'm on the pedestal.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
Here we go, Alf the alien opiner, Hi, Alf, He
would like to know do you miss the cross talk
at the top and bottom of the show.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
No, I'm I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I get to bite my fingernails and drink water, drink
ice water. So it's really what I do in that time.
So I don't uh, you know, you do local stuff.
You have to do a lot of cross Talf. We
don't have to do that here, just you. Some of
the affiliates do not carry all the show.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
Yeah, that's why we stopped doing it. But we used
to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, we did. There was a time we did.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
We started out not doing it, then we did it,
and then some of the affiliates got upset because, I know,
play grab ass with the morning show and then the
local morning show would come on and.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Why are you doing that? Right?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Right? You know it's supposed to be doing that. So
we stopped doing it anyway, but yeah, we what.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Is next year?
Speaker 8 (30:45):
All right? Cowboy Killer and wants to know. This is
a very important question.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Hi, cowboy Killer. It sounds like the random might know
the question. She's laughing.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
That was a sneeze. I think was a sneeze.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, it was weird Pepper.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
It was.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Do you uh? He wants to know do you put
your grocery cart back where it belongs or leave it
when you finish?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I used to put it back, but now I don't
because of Supermarket Steve Supermarcus. Steve taught me that I'm
taking someone's job.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
No, that is bs By. Don't you ever watch cart
and Arcs? Put your cart back?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
No? No, cool list, that is super Market.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Steve's a professional he's not on some TV show or
something like that or some website. He is a professional
in the business, the grocery business.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I'm listening to my experts everyone.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, especially coming from
somebody that works in the business. Because if everybody put
their cart back in the cart return, that person's not
gonna lose their job. They're still gonna have a job.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Listen, Coop, you're on the wrong side of his Well,
you're wrong too.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
And super Marcus Steve is the guy that told me
if your your problem, check in with him.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Cool Eddie, you return the card? Is it?
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Absolutely?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Every time I go to the grocery store, they'll be like, uh, Fred,
could you do a part?
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Run?
Speaker 6 (32:06):
And the guy comes out.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
Of the meat department and he's all he looks like.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
No, no, no, up the car.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
They're cutting up cow and you want to go.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
And he's like, I do not want to be doing that.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
A good person and put your.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Doing him a favor. He doesn't want to do that.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
Lorena, I use my child as an excuse. I never
put the cart back.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I'm noting my child in the car, right, Lorena, is
you got to right? If They don't even.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Put them conveniently close to your car. They got to
be on the other side of the parking lot. Okay, no,
it's in Lorena. I don't want to go to the
question coop. You go to your car, you unload the groceries,
then you take the car with your child in it,
and then you put the car back, and then you
take your child out of the cart, and then you
both go back to the car. Now your car, your
(32:54):
cart's sitting in a parking space. And then it could
it could it could hit somebody's car. You can somebody's her.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
You are on the wrong side.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
He buys expensive gas and returns the car. He's a
bad human being.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Are you are crazy? There is an entire YouTube channel
devoted to putting the cart back.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I don't care a YouTube channel to not put the
card back?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Good billion YouTube channels? All right, let's pause for the cause.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
That's not a good person.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Right to the.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Solar plexic, Seddy, right to I'm gonna punch him right
out of solar plexus.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
This is gonna be an hr situation.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
And already getting DMS talking about how much of an
a hole you are yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Okay, you're lying. Everyone knows you're lying. No one says
your dms. Anyway, we will have more of this relevant
ask Ben for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Keep those questions coming in. We'll get to that. We'll
do it.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Continues to ask Ben your questions, our answers for the
rest of the hour, and we move ahead now in
the broadcast to the koopaloop with the reading of the
question as usual.
Speaker 8 (34:12):
The people are overwhelmingly in my favor, but.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Not what I'm seeing here. People calling you a dope.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
No, there's literally not a single tweet, and that's backing
what you said. But let's go. Let's continue on. Doublow
Mexican wants to know what is the best fight you've
ever seen in public, live, like in.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Person, like a boxing match or couple of people fighting.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
I took it as a couple of people fighting.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I mean Dodger Stadium. It's fight night at Dodger Stadium,
especially when the Giants come in. Oh my god, it's
so entertaining. But the coolest fight I ever saw was
at the old LA Sports Arena back when there were
seventeen people that went to Clipper games, and there was
a huge fight in the top.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
That arena is gone, but the upper part of the.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Arena and they tumbled over and there was no one
in their way, and they started at the top and
they went down to like this the next level. It
was crazy, But on a regular basis, it's a Dodger game.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
It used to be the Raiders. You go to a
Raider game that.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
That was where it was at, but the tickets are
so expensive now it's not quite the same eda.
Speaker 9 (35:17):
So I've been playing Beer League hockey for like twenty
years and every once in a while somebody.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Will get in a fight. It's usually embarrassing and stupid.
Speaker 9 (35:24):
But not long ago, there was an honest to goodness
Square Off dropped the gloves NHL style fight between our
goalie and another one of their players, and it was impressive,
and when it was all said and done, they were
both like completely worn out. And then they got kicked
out of the game because you can't fight in our league.
And then you realize they're like going to the locker
(35:44):
room and there's nobody there to stop them. And they're
heading towards each other again, and we're like, we all
watching to see if they're going to go again, and
they both like give each other a hug.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
That was nice.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yeah, it's also a humble bragg by Eddie that he
plays hockey. Yeah, well, let's see.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
My favorite confrontation fight was probably when my ex got
punched in the face by his girlfriend. I was standing
in the same room.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
It was personal, tense, personal personal. Wow, all right, he
enjoyed that. Did you did you record it?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
So?
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Did you watch it over and over again?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (36:17):
He did not. I got you, I Cooper Loop.
Speaker 8 (36:19):
Mine also took place at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
This bring the family.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
This guy is no family's gonna afford to go there anymore.
Speaker 8 (36:28):
But yeah, I was in one of like the lower sections,
like field level.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Yeah, you're right through the pavilion for the real fight.
Speaker 8 (36:35):
Well, and so somebody from one of the upper levels
was talking trash to somebody down in my section, and
then the guy in my section runs up the the
you know, the stairway, and within like a you know,
a minute or so, we see him show up at
the front row of the upper section and he starts
fighting the dude. And then the guy's girlfriend comes up
(36:55):
from behind him, jumps on the guy's back and starts
like pounding the back of his head, and he turns
around and just boom, just that's the girlfriend in the face.
And then just looks around and then bolts out of there.
That was one of the scurious It.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Is stupid to fight in the upper decks at Dodger
Stadium because I have seen people fall over.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
I was just gonna say, yeah, that's what it was.
It was scary, but they were up against the railing.
It was yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It was you do not It's a very steep drop.
Speaker 8 (37:20):
You could die. Yes, yes, all right, what happens late
night drug? Tester wants to know this is late night drug?
He says it's for ben, So I guess it's just
for you.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
Why do people refrigerate ketch up at home but restaurants
leave it sitting on the counter all day.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
It's a great point. Yeah, I've had this argument with
my wife, like it was they didn't even go with
the fruger.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Well, it goes with the refrigero because everyone thinks if
it's in the refrigerator, it's never gonna go bad.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
That's why it's a mental illness. That's what I'm blaming on.
Mental illness. What is next?
Speaker 1 (37:47):
It's like but something's like butter and eggs.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
You don't necessarily do.
Speaker 8 (37:50):
You put your bread in the fridge?
Speaker 3 (37:52):
I my wife does. I don't. I just leave it out. Eddie,
I got coop?
Speaker 6 (37:57):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Quickly? Quick by?
Speaker 8 (37:59):
How do you your eggs? King Rory wants to know.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
I don't need eggs, but when I do, they're scramble
with cheese, Eddie, scrambled sunnyside up. Oh, you're a bad person.
Speaker 8 (38:08):
Cool over medium or poached.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
That's so good. Oh it's so bad. I want to.
Speaker 8 (38:20):
The runny yolk. Oh yeah, dip your bacon.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
It is. It's a terrible job, but you coop

The Way Tire Buying showb and our lead This or
Not from the NFL Draft, although it is finally arrived,
we are at d Day. It's here, the NFL Draft.
We've only been talking about this for how many months now?
Since the Super Bowl ended a couple months. It seems
like it's been more than that. If I read one
(01:44):
more mock draft, I'm jumping off the curb.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
That's it. I'm jumping off the curb. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Our lead is from pro bouncy ball. We need to
kind of upclass this show. We're gonna We're gonna go
to the garden. Who doesn't like gardening? Only the Celtics
don't like guarding. Boston and Miami meeting Game two, opening
round matchup?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Did you watch? I looked at the ratings. Probably not.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I have no fear. Underdog is here. I watched, so
you would not have to. So someone named Tyler Hero,
but it spelled with an extra R. Tyler Hero twenty
four points, fourteen assists, knocked down six money balls, and
a partries in a pear tree that he'd had twenty
three three pointers. I didn't play in the NBA, but
(02:32):
I'm told that's a lot. The most in fact in
that franchise is playoff history. They have been in a
lot of playoff games there in Miami. So the Heatles
get a one to eleven to one oh one upset victory.
As Joe public took it in the shorts, many people
assuming that was free money.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
There's no way.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Miami can compete with Boston loading up on the Celtics. Well,
obviously that did not happen here, and so that means
the top seeded Celtics, who had the greatest regular season
in a very long time for that franchise, and some
would say the greatest all time regular season depending on
what you look at, they are now tied up. It's
(03:15):
a best of five series and the heat have home
court advantage. Miami shot fifty three percent from beyond the arc.
It's like moneyball, Mallard, It's like how I shoot? But
Game one they got blown out, come back win Game two.
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
So Jalen Brown, who is the robin to batman? That
(03:38):
would be Jason Tatum in Boston. Jalen Brown afterwards, he
said the Celtics had guys they wanted shooting the ball
from Miami, they just weren't hitting them, and that they
had decent closeouts. Now, Joe Mizzoula said pretty much the
same thing. That was the company line, that was the
talking point. So let us discuss does the Jalen Brown
(04:00):
slash Missoula explanation for the Celtics loss?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Does that work for you?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So I've got after Burners Prosecutor and Kentucky Derby and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a head scratcher, which I would
argue that game was a head scratcher. Like typically what
happens in that sport is the better team wins. And yeah,
(04:28):
the team that's the shorthanded team can hang around for
three quarters, but then in the fourth quarter the better
team pulls away and wins the game.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That obviously did not happen. But answer the question, does
the Jalen Brown explanation with Joe Mizzoula does.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That work for you? And No, I'm shaking my head. No,
Jalen Brown's justification is dubious at best. The Celtic perimeter
defense I would compare it to the consistency of a
Boston cream pie. During the broad Maybe I imagine this,
I don't know, Maybe I did.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I was watching, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Getting hemorrhoids sitting watching the TNT broadcast. They highlighted some
of the closeouts and the hands were down, they weren't up. Now,
as far as the coaching, we can argue, we can
debate what percentage of this goes to coaching. It made,
say thirty percent. The seas were caught also just generally
(05:26):
sniffing themselves. They expected this to be easy street, But
what about let him play Joe Joe Missoula, who went
into this game and he didn't take stupid pills. He
took doc Rivers pills. And it looked watching it like
Missoula just expected this to be easy. Like the players,
(05:47):
and they had an analytical outline of how they wanted
to play the Celtics. It wasn't working, and so he
essentially just said, ah, efitt, I guess we're gonna lose
this game. That's it, you know, just I'm gonna stubbornly
continue my game plan. I'm not gonna make any kind
of in game adjustments. You know that didn't work. Nerds
didn't have the right game plan. It's over. And as
(06:10):
far as the players who get more of it, a
shame bell. I'm gonna give the biggest shame belt to
Jason Tatum. A lot of people picking on Chris Dops,
Porzingis and some other players on the cellies. But Jason
Tatum is supposed to be that guy. He's supposed to
be that guy, and I've seen him be that guy.
I have watched him be that guy. He was not
(06:31):
that guy in this game. Now, if you didn't see
the game, he just read.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The box score.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Who went bed? What are you talking about? You can't
believe him. He had his normal stadline. He didn't shoot poorly.
Let me elaborate for those of you a little slow,
you might be on the spectrum. So Jason Tatum, this
is the game you put on the old after burners.
And he couldn't find the after burner. Couldn't find it.
Fourth quarter. Perzingis sucked at a time you cannot suck.
(06:55):
And there were plenty of other people that stunk as well.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But man, Jason Tatum, even when with all the three
point shots hitting nothing but net, you still have the
opportunity to win that game. Tatum makes a couple of
plays in the hustle and bustle of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
You win the game, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Now, moving to the next chapter.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
A beef in La La Land finger pointing in the
Kingdom of the Purple and Gold say it ain't so
see might remember we answered this in a previous episode
of the show. It was after game two, if you
can remember. Back to game two in Denver, Anthony Davis
claimed that the Lakers have stretches during these games where
(07:38):
they don't know what they're doing on both ends of
the floor, like they have this mental like fog that
takes over. So, of course, Laker coach Darvin Ham was
asked about that. He attempted to refute the unibrows claim.
Of course he did, saying if things don't go right,
the players get frustrated him praise his coaching staff, and
(08:02):
he said he would just chalk that up to frustration
from losing the game, talked about emotion and how the
game ended. He said, I'll agree to disagree on that one.
So you've got Darvin Ham disagreeing with Anthony Davis and
Davis's belief that the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Don't know what they're doing for stretches of the game.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Who's right? So nobody's right. Everyone loses, And here's let
me explain why. All right, I'm gonna get out my
ven diagram and explain exactly why I'll get my t
illustrator as well, so here it's a radio straighter. So
let me explain, all right, If the Lakers know what
they're supposed to be doing, as Darvin Ham says, and
(08:47):
they're not executing, that is on both the coaches and
the players. The coaches unable to get them to execute,
the players unwilling to execute. If they don't know what
they're supposed to be doing, that's on the coaches. Either way.
Darvin Ham is the fall guy for all this. We
(09:08):
were just asked in a question on Mallard of the
third Degree about Darvin Ham and his long term viability
as Laker coach. And my take then, and I haven't changed,
my take is an outcome determined result. The Lakers have
not had a problem getting rid of coaches. Yeah, they
had Phil Jackson for a while. He left for a
(09:29):
year because he didn't like Kobe Bryant, and then he
came back and they had way back pat Riley. But
other than that, they usually go through a lot of coaches.
That's not a long term job they're coaching. The Lakers
asked Frank Vogel about that. But there's an old line
in political and not political in judicial circles, and the
(09:51):
line goes, I'm paraphrasing because I don't work in that world.
But a good prosecutor can indict a Ham's sandwich. You
might have heard that before, right, You can pretty much
indict anything. If you're a good prosecute You can find
some some vague law that somebody broke. But Darvinham, what
(10:12):
I'm trying to say here, he's in the deep end
our last word? Quickly, we go to Wisconsin where Bucks
forward Bobby Portis addressed the trash talk from the Indiana
basketball team. This is following the game to win by
the Pacers. Now portus. The reason I'm bringing this up
is because it was extra spicy. It was a spicy margarita.
(10:34):
So Portis snap, he said, quite frankly. They are front runners, bro.
He sounds like Blake Snow front runners, bro.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He said. When the s I didn't say the word,
unlike our callers.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
When the poopy going good, they laughing, Portis said, clapping
all that.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
When it's going bad, they not saying nothing. I think
there were some words missing. But Portis ranted and rant
and all that. All right, So where are you at on?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Bobby portis essentially calling the pacers he did front runners,
not essentially he said the word front runners. So here's
my position. It is true, perhaps, but irrelevant. True perhaps,
but irrelevant because spoiler alert, that is how sports work.
Everyone is giggling and smiling and happy when they're winning,
(11:25):
and when they're losing, they sulk, and if they don't sulk,
we goof on them.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
That's how it works.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That's why the mantra of this show, the better story
is in the losing locker room.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
The Bucks are a perfect example.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
If Milwaukee had won that game, does Bobby Portis call
the other team front roaders?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Of course not. It's kind of like the.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Kentucky Derby or thoroughbred racing in general. If you've ever
bet the ponies, they have done study after study. Front
Runners have the best winning percentage of any run style.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
There's like four different run styles, and a thoroughbred race.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
The style that would be the opposite of front runners
the hold up style, where you kind of save it.
It's just kind of in the pack or in the back,
and then you wait for the stretch run to close
it out.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
In team sports, it's called sandbagging, where.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You just kind of hang around and then let the
other team think they're gonna win and you knock them
out at the end. But that's got the worst win
rate in in horse race anyway. But most of these
games are like a Harvard boat race. You jump out ahead,
you get.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
A big lead.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Everyone's in a blue moon, as Andrea the astrology goddess
would say, the moon goddess.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
A team comes back from twenty down, but that does
not make it the norm. Most of the time, you
go up by twenty or twenty five points to thirty points,
you win the game, and when you don't win the game,
that becomes something that people go crazy over.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere right next
door as we move at a galatial pace coast duck coast, border,
the border, and beyond on the vast in sizeably powerful

microphones of fsre emmnating live from the box we stand

Cowboy Drew's busy playing that video game, the Farming Game,
but he thinks that's a lot tire raq dot com
the way tire buying should be in our lead this
hour from the Downtown Athletic Club in New York City.
For many, many years that was the hub of the
(14:55):
Heisman Trophy. Major decision was made. You I might have
heard about it, maybe not as this is NFL Draft day,
but somebody that was drafted years ago into the NFL
and won a Heisman and then lost to Heisman.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Well new development.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
The Heisman Trust has announced that it is formally quote
reinstating Reggie Bush fourteen years after the USC football star
said bye bye to the twenty zero five Heisman Trophy
because of what was at the time a major violation
(15:34):
that was sanctioned against USC football because Reggie Bush was
getting paid. Oh my god, a name, image and likeness
changes were behind the move. They were referenced in a
prepared statement released by the Heisman folks, and this has
led to the pearl clutching crowd saying, oh my god,
(15:56):
this is just the tip of the spear. So let
us discuss the question Reggie Bush getting the Heisman Trophy back.
Does this open up a can of worms for the
NCED double A. So I've got testimonial Jimmy Cliff and
Golden Fleece, and we will combine all of these things
(16:18):
together and we are going to wreck havoc, which many
people seem to think is going to happen to the
NC double a because of this now number.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Wha, Yeah, Lorraina might have been taking about of food.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
There may try that again. Number on a little better.
It's a little better, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So some breathless reactions to the Reggie Bush news.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I always enjoy the over the top reactions. The sky
is falling, it's armageddon. I enjoyed that. I live for them.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
So the claims are, if you haven't been paying attention,
that this opens up Pandora's box, that since Reggie Bush
has got the heisman back schools like Southern Methodists better
known as SMU.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
If you're old, you remember, you know, forty years ago.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They got the death penalty because Eric Dickerson was getting
paid in other people Ohio State players. More recently, they
were getting compensated for memorabilia with tattoos and other things.
Remember the Tennessee story where players were walking around with
McDonald's bags filled with cash. And to that, to the
idea that all of those things now are in play,
(17:27):
that there'll be lawsuits here, there and everywhere, to that,
we say, take a breath, because I spent one minute
of my life that I will not get back. A
minute long mallor review.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
And after that investigation, the answer is no. And here's why.
Reggie Bush. Let me say this very carefully and slowly.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Reggie Bush got his trophy back from the Heisman Trust,
not the NCAA. These are two completely independent operations. What
this is, though, is a testimonial to the power of
money and the power of the University of Southern California
(18:10):
Alumni Association. There were thousands of dollars, not of Reggie
Bush's money, that were spent. There was a grassroots movement.
This has been going on for four or five years
at least. I know driving around Los Angeles that there
were billboards up off the four h five Freeway and
(18:31):
some other places saying give Reggie Bush.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Back his Heisman. You probably mean, why would that matter?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It doesn't matter because the Heisman folks live in New York,
They're not in LA. But this is more of a
symbolic win for Reggie Bush, and a lot of it's
because of the bots on social media and the uproar
on the socials, But it doesn't change the NCAA situation
(18:58):
and Reggie Bush. For those that have not followed and
read the fine print, Reggie Bush from what I understand
is still involved in a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA
over comments they made about the heisman. So it is
conceivable that the fact that Reggie Bush is getting back
the heisman will help will help that argument saying, hey,
(19:20):
you slandered me, and you know you defane me, and
now I got my trophy back. But that'll be decided
by the courts. Stay tuned. Now page two, we shuffle
off to the NFL. It is a big day on
the calendar if you're a draft nick, if you're a nerd,
if you enjoy random names of people being read.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
The draft is such a spectacle now.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I have a love hate relationship with it. It's so
over the top. They bring in celebrities and it's a
dog and pony show. And you know, there was like
the Marriott Marquee in Times Square they had the NFL
DR half when I was a kid, and it was
a bunch of middle aged people sitting around and there
(20:06):
was just not all going on.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
There was no real entertainment value.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Now they try to jazz it up, and for some
people it works. I watched the top ten picks and
then I'm out. Now this is not about the NFL Draft,
because there's a story out of Detroit where the draft
is being held, but we're told that Jared Goff is
not is not getting a contract extension with the Lions
(20:30):
anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Now that's newsworthy because the Detroit football.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Team robbed a couple of banks and they signed their
star tackle, Penny School to a big contract. I'm on
ross Saint Brown got a massive contract, but not the quarterback.
So thumbs up or thumbs down? Thumbs up thumbs down?
Are the Lions making a tactical error not extending Jared Goff,
(20:56):
So I'm gonna go thumbs down. I do not believe
they are making a tactical mistake. I don't buy that
this is actually a wise move for the Detroit football team.
Jared Goff is entering a lame duck season, which I'm
okay with, right, I'm okay with that, And clearly the
Lions are okay unless they fold before.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Training camp, which could still happen.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Right, But as we are talking right now, we have
to worry about the show today. We can't worry about
the show tomorrow. We can't worry about the show in
July when training camp o. But as we're doing the
show today. The Lions are holding.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Firm, and that's okay, and they should do that.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
The musical melody for this story at this point is
a Jimmy Cliff classic from the seventies, Action Speak Louder
than Words. Jared Goff is an afterthought. He's not a priority,
not a priority. He's on track to become a free
agent in twenty twenty five. Now the move here, which
seems rarely due because the players hate it. The Lions
(21:54):
could place the dreaded franchise tag on Jared Goff so
they can get Hi an extra year after that. Now,
occasionally that backfires, And I also fully am open and
admit that I still have PTSD from watching Jared Goff
with the Rams. He's actually been better with the Lions.
He's a mid level quarterback, which is all you really need.
(22:17):
You can win a Super Bowl with a mid level quarterback.
Ask Nick Foles about that. But I just he's not
my guy, So I'm fine with the Lions making him
sweat a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It's not my money, all right. Final point, We have
a tradition on this show. A lot of the things
that we've done. We've done this for a while, and
one of the things that we do is we hold
football executives accountable. If you watch the draft and you
consume the draft, you will often hear executives and coaches say,
do not judge the draft right away. You can't judge
(22:49):
the draft right away. Now, I realize that on Sunday
night and Monday, there will be immediate.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Report cards on the draft. We'll probably do one tomorrow
because I gotta fill content.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
So they always say, let it marinate, don't judge your
book by its cover, all those cliches. Okay, fine, okay,
that's fine. So they do this, of course, because they
have plausible deniability. They figured that no one will actually
go back and do it. Enter the Ben Maler Show.
You want to bet on that? All right, So give me.
Let's go back. We're gonna set the hot top time
machine to twenty twenty. Oh boy, that was a bad year, pandemic.
(23:23):
Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly of
the twenty twenty NFL Draft. The good, the bad, and
the ugly. So the good, all right, the good is
the number w.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
N.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I want to pick Joe Burrow, the NFL's second ranked
quarterback on Maler's big board, behind Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is
way ahead. He's like secretariat. But Joe Burrow's number two,
he's number two.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
The Vikings.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
They got Justin Jefferson in that draft in the first round.
Ce D Lamb drafted by Dallas. So that's that's the good.
Also there's actually those guys are great and put them
in a great category, certainly Jefferson and Burrow ceedee.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Lamb's on he's on the de.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Fence on that.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
But the good players, the good, the bad, and the
other the good players to a tongue, abay lola Justin Herbert,
I said good, not great, Like they put up big numbers.
I don't trust Tua in a big game. I don't
trust Herbert in the big game. But they're good stat guys.
And a lot of people love stat guys, and the
good stat guys so fine. The bad Hail to the
(24:33):
red Skins. Like I said, we're called they call the
Washington football team. In twenty twenty, I can't keep track,
but the team in Washington took a defensive end named
Chase Young who is built like a Donnis and plays
like cookie Monster.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
So he was drafted number two.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And then Detroit they drafted a defensive back named Jeff
Akuda with the number two pick or number three pick
in that in that draft, and so both those guys
are on on their third team now, which I'm told
is not good. The ugly, the absolute ugliest of the ugly,
I would argue be doing this for a long time.
(25:11):
This is the single most embarrassing, humiliating draft in the
history of this show that we have broken down. For
first round fix the ugly of the ugliest, the Golden Fleece.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Award goes to the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
That's right, the Raiders that draft in the first round.
This was the draft they picked wide receiver Henry Ruggs
with the twelfth overall pick and a defensive back named
David Barnett from Ohio State with the number nineteen pick.
Since that draft, Barnett was arrested on gun and meth charges.
Ruggs is currently in jail in Nevada, serving three to
(25:49):
ten years in prison. You might remember the twenty twenty
one drunk driving crash that killed a young lady in
Vegas and her dog. They were barbecued alive because of
Rugs and they were both drafted in the first round
of the twenty twenty draft.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
That's that's not ugly, that's like something lower than ugly.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And let me point out also for those that have
been convinced that the draft is the Holy Land and
you're going to get amazing players. Every year, your team's
gonna get one or two great players. So in the
twenty twenty draft, there were two hundred and fifty five
players selected. Out of those two hundred and fifty five players,
(26:30):
how many of them have made a first team All Pro?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
That's the highest honor you can get.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Pro Bowl doesn't matter. Pro Bowl is a volleyball game,
highest honor in the NFL, and the only honor that
really matters is first team All Pro. How many players
drafted in twenty twenty, two hundred and fifty five, how
many of them were First team up roll right pens
Down survey says seven.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
That's it. That's all now.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Using malar math on the the back of the napkin
back of the napkin math.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
That works out to two point seven percent.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Of the players drafted in twenty twenty, many of them
are not even in the NFL anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
They're now working real jobs.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Because he didn't work out for them, but a two
point seven percent hit rate.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
And that's where we are.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
It's Mallard.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
To the third degree?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
This is one big gets grell.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Jamie Daniels said in a recent interview that he wants
to surpass Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson as the best
running quarterback of all time. Ben, do you see that
potential in Daniels?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I like the high expectations, the setting the bar high,
and I did enjoy watching Jade and Daniels play at LSU.
He looks way too skinny. They gotta fatten him up. Man,
I'm gonna go No. I think he'll He'll be okay.
I don't see him surpassing Lamar Jackson's already won two MVPs.
(28:06):
I don't see him doing that next.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
An NFL writer made an interesting prediction this week when
he said that bow Knicks will get drafted ahead of
JJ McCarthy. Ben, are you buying that prediction?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Well, not based on everything I've read.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I know it's lying season, but they have been sucking
the toes of JJ McCarthy and they've been ripping bow Nicks.
So we'll find out if that was a big fat lie.
But bo Nicks apparently sucked at his pro day. People
are down on him. But you know he's going to
be drafted in the first couple of rounds. I don't
think he'll be I'm gonna go No, McCarthy gets drafted
ahead of him, So I'm on the record.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
JJ eight passes a week for Michigan gets drafted ahead next.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Victor wembin Yama recently told a French newspaper that he's
only reached fifteen percent of the player that he will
be at his prime. Ben, do you think we've only
seen a small fraction of what Wemby will be?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Well, what do they say about stats? You know stats, stats,
and then you know lies. I mean, how does he
know fifteen percent? How does he know it's not seventeen percent?
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Or he looks amazing.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
He sucked at the beginning of the year and then
he got control over his game and uh yeah, this
guy's gonna be dominating for the next twenty years.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
How do we do you pass this edition that is.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
A week, I got the win.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
We're gonna start off with a question for you.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Okay, oh me, I'm on the pedestal.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
Here we go, Alf the alien opiner, Hi, Alf, He
would like to know do you miss the cross talk
at the top and bottom of the show.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
No, I'm I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I get to bite my fingernails and drink water, drink
ice water. So it's really what I do in that time.
So I don't uh, you know, you do local stuff.
You have to do a lot of cross Talf. We
don't have to do that here, just you. Some of
the affiliates do not carry all the show.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
Yeah, that's why we stopped doing it. But we used
to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, we did. There was a time we did.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
We started out not doing it, then we did it,
and then some of the affiliates got upset because, I know,
play grab ass with the morning show and then the
local morning show would come on and.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Why are you doing that? Right?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Right? You know it's supposed to be doing that. So
we stopped doing it anyway, but yeah, we what.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Is next year?
Speaker 8 (30:45):
All right? Cowboy Killer and wants to know. This is
a very important question.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Hi, cowboy Killer. It sounds like the random might know
the question. She's laughing.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
That was a sneeze. I think was a sneeze.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, it was weird Pepper.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
It was.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Do you uh? He wants to know do you put
your grocery cart back where it belongs or leave it
when you finish?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I used to put it back, but now I don't
because of Supermarket Steve Supermarcus. Steve taught me that I'm
taking someone's job.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
No, that is bs By. Don't you ever watch cart
and Arcs? Put your cart back?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
No? No, cool list, that is super Market.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Steve's a professional he's not on some TV show or
something like that or some website. He is a professional
in the business, the grocery business.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I'm listening to my experts everyone.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, especially coming from
somebody that works in the business. Because if everybody put
their cart back in the cart return, that person's not
gonna lose their job. They're still gonna have a job.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Listen, Coop, you're on the wrong side of his Well,
you're wrong too.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
And super Marcus Steve is the guy that told me
if your your problem, check in with him.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Cool Eddie, you return the card? Is it?
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Absolutely?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Every time I go to the grocery store, they'll be like, uh, Fred,
could you do a part?
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Run?
Speaker 6 (32:06):
And the guy comes out.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
Of the meat department and he's all he looks like.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
No, no, no, up the car.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
They're cutting up cow and you want to go.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
And he's like, I do not want to be doing that.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
A good person and put your.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Doing him a favor. He doesn't want to do that.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
Lorena, I use my child as an excuse. I never
put the cart back.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I'm noting my child in the car, right, Lorena, is
you got to right? If They don't even.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Put them conveniently close to your car. They got to
be on the other side of the parking lot. Okay, no,
it's in Lorena. I don't want to go to the
question coop. You go to your car, you unload the groceries,
then you take the car with your child in it,
and then you put the car back, and then you
take your child out of the cart, and then you
both go back to the car. Now your car, your
(32:54):
cart's sitting in a parking space. And then it could
it could it could hit somebody's car. You can somebody's her.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
You are on the wrong side.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
He buys expensive gas and returns the car. He's a
bad human being.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Are you are crazy? There is an entire YouTube channel
devoted to putting the cart back.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I don't care a YouTube channel to not put the
card back?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Good billion YouTube channels? All right, let's pause for the cause.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
That's not a good person.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Right to the.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Solar plexic, Seddy, right to I'm gonna punch him right
out of solar plexus.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
This is gonna be an hr situation.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
And already getting DMS talking about how much of an
a hole you are yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Okay, you're lying. Everyone knows you're lying. No one says
your dms. Anyway, we will have more of this relevant
ask Ben for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Keep those questions coming in. We'll get to that. We'll
do it.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Continues to ask Ben your questions, our answers for the
rest of the hour, and we move ahead now in
the broadcast to the koopaloop with the reading of the
question as usual.
Speaker 8 (34:12):
The people are overwhelmingly in my favor, but.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Not what I'm seeing here. People calling you a dope.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
No, there's literally not a single tweet, and that's backing
what you said. But let's go. Let's continue on. Doublow
Mexican wants to know what is the best fight you've
ever seen in public, live, like in.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Person, like a boxing match or couple of people fighting.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
I took it as a couple of people fighting.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I mean Dodger Stadium. It's fight night at Dodger Stadium,
especially when the Giants come in. Oh my god, it's
so entertaining. But the coolest fight I ever saw was
at the old LA Sports Arena back when there were
seventeen people that went to Clipper games, and there was
a huge fight in the top.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
That arena is gone, but the upper part of the.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Arena and they tumbled over and there was no one
in their way, and they started at the top and
they went down to like this the next level. It
was crazy, But on a regular basis, it's a Dodger game.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
It used to be the Raiders. You go to a
Raider game that.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
That was where it was at, but the tickets are
so expensive now it's not quite the same eda.
Speaker 9 (35:17):
So I've been playing Beer League hockey for like twenty
years and every once in a while somebody.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Will get in a fight. It's usually embarrassing and stupid.
Speaker 9 (35:24):
But not long ago, there was an honest to goodness
Square Off dropped the gloves NHL style fight between our
goalie and another one of their players, and it was impressive,
and when it was all said and done, they were
both like completely worn out. And then they got kicked
out of the game because you can't fight in our league.
And then you realize they're like going to the locker
(35:44):
room and there's nobody there to stop them. And they're
heading towards each other again, and we're like, we all
watching to see if they're going to go again, and
they both like give each other a hug.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
That was nice.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yeah, it's also a humble bragg by Eddie that he
plays hockey. Yeah, well, let's see.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
My favorite confrontation fight was probably when my ex got
punched in the face by his girlfriend. I was standing
in the same room.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
It was personal, tense, personal personal. Wow, all right, he
enjoyed that. Did you did you record it?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
So?
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Did you watch it over and over again?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (36:17):
He did not. I got you, I Cooper Loop.
Speaker 8 (36:19):
Mine also took place at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
This bring the family.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
This guy is no family's gonna afford to go there anymore.
Speaker 8 (36:28):
But yeah, I was in one of like the lower sections,
like field level.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Yeah, you're right through the pavilion for the real fight.
Speaker 8 (36:35):
Well, and so somebody from one of the upper levels
was talking trash to somebody down in my section, and
then the guy in my section runs up the the
you know, the stairway, and within like a you know,
a minute or so, we see him show up at
the front row of the upper section and he starts
fighting the dude. And then the guy's girlfriend comes up
(36:55):
from behind him, jumps on the guy's back and starts
like pounding the back of his head, and he turns
around and just boom, just that's the girlfriend in the face.
And then just looks around and then bolts out of there.
That was one of the scurious It.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Is stupid to fight in the upper decks at Dodger
Stadium because I have seen people fall over.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
I was just gonna say, yeah, that's what it was.
It was scary, but they were up against the railing.
It was yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It was you do not It's a very steep drop.
Speaker 8 (37:20):
You could die. Yes, yes, all right, what happens late
night drug? Tester wants to know this is late night drug?
He says it's for ben, So I guess it's just
for you.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
Why do people refrigerate ketch up at home but restaurants
leave it sitting on the counter all day.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
It's a great point. Yeah, I've had this argument with
my wife, like it was they didn't even go with
the fruger.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Well, it goes with the refrigero because everyone thinks if
it's in the refrigerator, it's never gonna go bad.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
That's why it's a mental illness. That's what I'm blaming on.
Mental illness. What is next?
Speaker 1 (37:47):
It's like but something's like butter and eggs.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
You don't necessarily do.
