Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, It's the original Recipe podcast. We were up all
night providing you with the milk of audio goodness so
you can listen when you want on demand. It's me,
your friend, Ben our one. Here we begin with the
Purple people eaters big payday on this Tuesday. What do
you like and what do you dislike about the Justin
(00:23):
Jefferson extension, the record for a non quarterback in NFL history.
You'll be sticking around Minnesota for a lot of cash. Also,
is Justin Jefferson even worth the money? It's a lot
of dough for a wide receiver. And how long does
this honeymoon period in Minnesota last between Justin Jefferson and
the franchise. We'll discuss that and a whole lot more
(00:46):
right now here we go. It's our number one. That
funny money.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It is.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The color purple is what it is.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Welcome in the beginning of a brand spanking new night
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
chewing the rag as we boil away the goo coast
to coast, border to border and beyond all the vast
(01:20):
and superabundantly powerful microphones of FSR emmundating live from the
tee as we tee it up this hour, broadcasting live
the Tirak dot Com studios.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Tyraq dot com.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers,
almost as many times as Shane from Des Moines has
complained about something that happened on the show, about ten thousand.
Tire rack dot com The Way Tire Buying should be
(01:57):
our lead. This hour, we play the heads mall manits.
We're going to twin Cities where the juicy lucies are good.
The football's ah, the baseball eh, and the basketball tanked
at the end. But that is the epicenter, not for baseball,
not for basketball. It seemed lost to the the Mavericks,
(02:18):
but the epicenter of the football news cycle. The eagle
has landed, or is that the Viking has gotten to
the port.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
And it is not leaving.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
And if you did not here by now, maybe you're
just really bad at keeping track of stuff, because the
news has been out there for a while. But maybe
you missed it. Perhaps perhaps you did. We learned the
Minnesota Vikings have locked up and tossed away the key
for Justin Jefferson, he got paid, He got paid. How
(02:49):
much did he get paid? Well, four years, the total
value is up to one hundred and forty million dollars.
But when you break it down, well you say this
one sentence, Justin Jefferson received the riches of Solomon or
in this case, the Viking ownership group. Jefferson now the
highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. He never has
(03:11):
to worry about completing a pass. I don't have to
worry about that. They're huddling up and going over the
plays and all that. He just has to listen to
the quarterback and the I'll go out there and run
out and catch passes. Two point one million dollars per game.
If my math is correct, signing bonus is about thirty
seven million, one of those giant oversized cartoon checks. First year,
(03:32):
he'll make thirty eight million, year two sixty nine point
nine million dollars, and then in year three ninety five
point seven. All those numbers are number one in the
entire NFL. So the actual value the actual retail value
of guaranteed money, meaning if Justin Jefferson stinks out loud
(03:55):
and smells like the bottom of weed, man hippies feet
in South Florida. One hundred and ten million guarantee one
hundred and ten million the average annual value. And I
always do this when I compare my money to like
Colin Cowherd or Rob Parker. I was like, Wow, what's
my average annual value? It's thirty five million per year.
(04:19):
That's the average annual value. So let us discuss a
lot of numbers. I was told by a boss early
on in my career, you're never supposed to give out
that many numbers on the radio. Bend people are not
paying that close attention. I just did it because I'm
bad at this. But the question what do you like
and what do you dislike about the Justin Jefferson extension
(04:39):
with the Viking. So I've got Bullseye Moss and Biggie
Smalls and we will combine all of these things together.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
We'll throw them against the wall and see what sticks.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So a the thing that I'll say first is a
rather obvious it's pointed out, throw this out in the cosmos.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Is is that business is booming.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Maybe all all of us, everyone who's got a job,
maybe we all work in an industry that is doing
as well as professional football in the zeitgeist of America,
the NFL is the opium of the masses.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
We say it all the times, only getting more like that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Just about every man, woman and child who has a
little bit of the sporty gene. Now, not everyone's born
with the sporty gene. There's a lot of people out
there in the world that aren't like us. They're not
sports people. They're bad people, as we call them, bad people.
But for everyone that's into sports even a little bit,
you end up hypnotized and mesmerized by the product and
(05:37):
the revenues. What do they do? Do they go up
or do they go down? It's like a rocket going
out to outer space, but not the vomit comet. No, No,
it's like a rocket going out to out of space.
The Viking franchise, the Minnesota Vikings, are worth almost five
billion dollars, the Minnesota Vikings, yeah point six. Now, our
(06:01):
guy Femi in Minnesota is starting a gofund that's trump
change to him. He's gonna get a gofund me by
the team, no problem. But now what we don't like.
The thing that we don't like here is that, And
I admit this is an age thing. But my entire
life I was raised watching football that receivers, while important,
(06:22):
are not that important that you can win. Kansas City
this year won the Super Bowl. They had guys they
literally took off Craigslist and they signed him. They signed guys, Hey,
you want to play wide receiver for the Chiefs, and
they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And yet here the Minnesota Vikings are.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And again this is more of my problem than anything else,
but the Vikings are forking over this amount of money
to a guy's out on an island. Now it's a
nice island, it's very rich island. Good for him, but
last I checked, he can't throw himself the ball. He
cannot throw himself the ball, which means this is like
shopping at the bulls eye store. You going to the target, right,
(07:04):
you're going to target how many targets? Let's do some
mal of Matthew. How many targets is justin Jefferson going
to get per game? But we know what he has done.
Jefferson in his career has averaged nine point six targets
per game, so about ten a game, well round up
ten a game. So you're paying him two million dollars
a little over two million a game, and you're gonna
(07:27):
throw the ball ten times. That's it. Out of roughly
sixty five to seventy five plays, give or take, you're
gonna throw the ball to him ten times, and so
far he's averaged six and a half catches per game.
All right, now, pitchdo, is Justin Jefferson the riches mine
in the world right now in the NFL outside of quarterbacks?
(07:48):
Is he worth the money? Is he worth the money?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Now?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I know I just said a very negative that I
was raised as a football fan that you should not
overvalue receivers that teams win all the time, even in
this era, as we said in Kansas City, without having
a super nova at the wide receiver position, Chiefs have
won the last two They got rid of thereforeever wide receiver,
(08:12):
the Cheatah. They kicked him out of Kansas City. And
they've won the last two Super Bowls with guys like
Marquez Valdez, Scantling and that speed racer guy that likes
to go really fast around Dallas.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
That guy.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So to answer the question, though, is Justin Jefferson worth
the money? Why? I admit I have neurosis when it
comes my issue here with paying the receiver that much money,
that's a me issue. That's my problem, right, And Justin Jefferson.
He has gone to the publisher and he has revised
the NFL record book and the numbers for that position
(08:47):
are mind boggling. Most receiving yards per game in his
career almost one hundred ninety eight point three, which is
also an FM rock station in Toledo. You've also got
the youngest player in NFL history to lead the league
in receptions at receiving yards in a season. He did
that in twenty twenty two. Also, most receiving yards through
(09:08):
I can go on and on. I mean, every frickin'
number for a receiver. It's Justin Jefferson. But when you
take a couple of steps back, you got to stare
and you might want to get a power washer. It's
all about the Moss, as in Randy Moss, straight cash, homie,
or in this case maybe it better analog. You would
be the Beast Mode and Marshawn Lynch, as he famously said,
(09:30):
take care of you all chickens. So this is fair
market value. The revenues keep going up. It's a multi
multi billion dollar industry and good for Jefferson, Mazleta, you're
buying juicy Lucy's for everybody. Good for you. Now, the
last part of this not to be a negative person,
because I am generally Benny Brightside on this show, mister positive.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
But I do have to throw.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
A little splash, a little pinch of reality to this.
How long does this hunting moon? One hundred and ten
million dollar guaranteed money hunting mooon? How long does this last?
For Justin Jefferson in Minnesota? And as you know, I
am a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostro Denis.
I also own a magic eight ball that was gifted
(10:16):
to me by a fan of the show, so I
have all those things. I am clairvoyant. I have eaten
many fortune cookies. If you know, I was very fat.
I had a lot of fortune cookies. I'm still large,
so I know fortunes. And the answer to the question
how long does this hunting moon period last for Justin
Jefferson in Minnesota is not long at all, Not long
(10:38):
at all. And I've got to about week seven, week
eight of this year. That's what I've got. Biggie Small's
a croon back years ago that more money, more problems,
and that would be the issue. The thing too about
this is the idea, the premise, the very premise that
(11:00):
if you pay someone X amount of money they will
then be happy, no matter what that is. We know
that's not true. That temporarily that is a pacifier, but
long term there are still issues. And Jefferson, last I checked,
will be stepping into the black hole, not the Raiders
(11:20):
black hole, that would be the quarterback room in Minnesota.
For illustration purposes only, I'll use my telestrator here on
the radio, but justin Jefferson will be catching passes from
that's right, Sam Donald. And if Sam Darnold does not
keep the job, you probably won't the Vikings will go
(11:42):
with the great unknown JJ McCarthy. Yeah, the Sam JJ
McCarthy who was so good at Michigan. They often didn't
have him throw the ball because I know, in my
experience watching college football in the modern era, when you
have an elite NFL quarterback, you hide the quarterback from
defenses because college defenses, right, I mean, they you don't
(12:05):
want to embarrass them, so you'll have them throw eight
ten passes a game something like that.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
But that's J. J. McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He's in line panic picked by the Vikings, but he's
in line to be the quarterback. Now, maybe he'll make
us all look like jackasses and go out there and
play well. But that's not that exciting. If you're Justin Jefferson,
you're not all going ho. But if Minnesota the way
I look at this kind of obviously, if Minnesota is
a middling team somewhere in that six and eleven, seven
(12:31):
and ten area in a division with the Lions, who
are going to be good again, and the Packers, who
everyone's slobbering all over. They got their knee pads out
for Jordan Love, they're so excited for him. But we
garantee if the Vikings are a mid level franchise, the
(12:52):
middle class of the NFL, teetering on the lower end,
then Justin Jefferson will be looking around for that gold
plated transfer portal and up, up and away as soon
as possible, right, because life does come at you fast,
even in that tax bracket. The first person that taught
(13:13):
me that money cannot guarantee happiness is a guy named
Kevin Brown. You might not know who that is. You
got to be, you gotta be have a certain age
to know that he's a baseball player and a very
good starting pitcher. The Dodgers signed this cat to an
s load of money, but he didn't want to play
on the West coast from Georgia. Had a nice house
there and family's there. I didn't want to play on
(13:35):
the West coast. But the Dodgers threw in all these flights.
So he was the highest paid pitcher in baseball, ton
of money, a lot more than everyone else, and the
biggest schmuck in the biggest a hole. Hated everyone, treated
everyone like crap, as I recall, and so, and he's
like the richest guy. Say, he hated everything. He complained
about everything. This's a surly schmuck. And so I was like,
(13:59):
if he's not happy, then there you go. Money does
not buy happenings, although it certainly helps. It gets you close.
I will say, it does get you close, and I'd
like to have those problems. I would like to have
those problems. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Speaking of problems. We'll take your calls. Speak easy.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Rules are in effact now. Tomorrow we are planning on
having a newby night. Although I did schedule the octagon
blind Scott representing Boston against a Maverick fan. I'm not
sure we have our Maverick fan, but we I think
we have our guy. But he's a truck driver and
so we might not be available, but we will. We'll
have a newby Night that'll be coming up tomorrow. So
(14:36):
I guess we can push back the octagon to the
following I mean that that.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Works, right.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I mean that's leading into the first game of the
NBA Finals, because I think it's gonna start sometime in
like October. Is that when the NBA Finals begin? You know,
the players need a lot of rest, you know, I
get that European media to come over here to the States.
Very expensive travel. Anyway, we'll have your calls also on
X at Ben Mahllor, that is at Ben if you'd
(15:00):
like to be part. Speaking money, though, a former NFL player,
player drafted in the first round, has a new job.
And this is not that long ago. This is not
that long ago. This player in the NFL is now
making two dollars and fifty cents an hour roughly. What
is that all about. We'll get to it and we
will do it next.

dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Began with the big signing in the NFL, Justin Jefferson
cashing in his chips, staying with Sam Donald. When you
have a partnership with Sam Donald JJ McCarthy, you can't
leave the Vikes semi wide receiver's dream. But we have
seen over the years Megatron. When the great receivers of
all time in NFL history played on bad teams in
(16:59):
Detroit had stats. Lawrence writes and says, yes, Lorena will
join Roberto singing the wheels on the bus go round
and round. The wheels on the bus go round and
round and becomes a child hating school bus driver. Lorena,
can you practice the wheels on the bus go round
and round right all through the town. There you go,
You got that line up. I know a guy. Everyone
(17:21):
needs to know a guy. I know a guy that
can get you a gig there. Yeah, you know a
bus driver. I know a bus driver. Oh my gosh,
I know. And if you want to drive a bus
in San Francisco, I know a guy there. You can
drive right through the Tenderloin District, beautiful part of town. Right,
you can see the zombie apocalypse, the real thing right
there walking around. I don't know if I could handle
that pressure having all those lives in my hand. Well,
(17:42):
I've met Lance the bus driver, and he doesn't seem
to care. So, yeah, he doesn't give a crap. He
just you know, he and he's he's got a better
life for me. He goes like Paris and all these different,
you know, random places around the world because he knows
somebody that works at the allens.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Because you got the key to life.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Well, Education's great key of life though, is to know
a guy in any business. Right, if you know, if
you know a guy at the hotel, you can get
discount rates for hotel room. If you know a guy
at the airlines, you get half price air for right,
And these are all very important thing.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Do I know anyone at a gas station that gets
gas discounts?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
There?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
There are people that get there. Yes, if you if
you move to the Middle East, you can get hooked
up there. Saudi Arabia, I hear the Saudis. They can
hook you up with some free gas there. Absolutely nice
or Alaska, I think in Alaska. The gases is pretty cheap.
They have good fish there, yeah, they have. They have
and eskimos and Eskimo pies, and I think those aren't
(18:40):
I don't know. But it's the key to life is
not what you know, it's it's who you know. But
it's you got no people in key business. Like I
had a buddy of mine years ago who had a
I think it was called the Golden Arches card from McDonald's.
Could go into any McDonald's in the country. You get
a free meal, which at the time was not that expressive.
(19:02):
Now it cost you like tow hundreducks seat McDonald's. Yeah,
they just you know, just killing people with the prices
there at mickey De's. But this guy had a Golden
Archers card, so he go any McDonald's. He flashed the card,
free meal whatever you want. Great is that because he
knew a guy because.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
He was se you think about stealing it from him
has a name on it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That's the problem.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yeah, that's the issue there.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It would have been nice though, all right, what do
we have you let's see page down. Uh Slim Tim says,
I couldn't stop laughing at the Jefferson deal. The Vikings
trophy cases will still be empty. Well, I'm not worried
about that. I just think it's dog kill. It's good
for him, but the whole wide receiver. I blame my
football mentors who taught me you can't be doing that,
(19:44):
but they did. They did it. Ferg dog rights and says,
help me out, Ben. I just got an email from
Spectrum saying that all the PAC twelve network channels are
going away. It's something happened to the PAC twelve conference
that I'm not aware of, or his Spectrum just screwing
me over again. Yeah, it says right there, PAC twelve network, Arizona,
(20:05):
Bay Area, La Mountain, Oregon and Washington all going away.
You know what that is? That's spitting a loogie at
the PAC two with Oregon State disrespecting the Beavers. I mean,
bad job by the and the Kougs. The Cougars are coming.
The Cougars are coming, and the Beavers. Anthony Anaheim Cougars
(20:26):
are coming. The single greatest commercial history of Fox Sports
radio and will never be topped. Anthony in Anaheim says, Hi, Ben,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (20:37):
In?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Andrea's voice shout out Jed who fled? We don't do shoutouts,
bad job by you Ya Femi in Chicago Rights since
says a plus and Lemon Pepper wings on the Malar monologue,
Jefferson will be pouting on the sidelines, wiping his tears
with money. The worse than the actual Vikings final battle
(20:58):
in the year ten sixty at Stanford Bridge versus the
English Right.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So I guess he went to Wikipedia and.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Looked at all that.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Anthony says, I'm about to be off for a month
so I can call in every day like the good
old days. This is Anthony having another kid, so he
has a lot of children. Anthony's yeah, why would you
be off from work for a month? Did he get
in a car accident? Car accident or a kid? One
of the two. Let's go to the phones. We'll say
hello to a Eeny Meani miney Moll. Let's say hello
(21:30):
to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Ben?
Speaker 9 (21:37):
Listen?
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Very good to be back with you.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Very good.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
I've been far too long. School year kind of wrapping up,
so we all know that I hit my stride towards
the end of the spring, going into.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
That you will be back. We'd like to alerd all
the affiliates we will get and we will get extra
helpings of Andre in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
You can book it at the NBA Finals progress just
particularly after the Celtics take it home. I'm saying six games,
maybe seven games max, Celtics gonna take it home. They're
gonna calm down this Luca, this Luca legend thing that
we got going on, it's gonna be wonderful. And then
going into the summer months, because it's particularly doing the
fourth July, that's when we're going to get the peak viewership.
I know people are going to be excited to rain
(22:18):
down the criticisms on me. But listen, Ben, you talked
about mister Jefferson and how we secure the bag. We know,
money only makes you more of what you already are.
Doesn't buy happiness. Now, it goes a long way to
buying the comfort. You know, you don't have to wake
up at the crack of dawn. You're not out there
laying you know, doing heavy duty construction out in the
high seat as a fisherman. So you live a comfortable life.
(22:40):
But it's only gonna make you more of what you
were beforehand, you know, So if you were angry, surly
guy like this gentleman who you covered, you know, and
you had a bad attitude and a pessimistic perspective. Well,
that's just gonna be hypening with the money that you've gotten,
and you're just going to be a bigger, unfriendly, mal
content type of a person. So what you said about
the NFL, it is the gift that keeps on giving.
(23:02):
You know, the biggest sport twenty five billion dollar valuation
that Roger Goodell has them on their way too, when
he's got the private jet for his own personal use
for life, you know, based on the contract that he signed,
you know, and the the Viking's worth almost five billion dollars,
So that's gonna the money's gonna keep going up right
across the board. We all know this, but specific to
the Vikings, we got to stay with the Vikings here, Ben,
(23:24):
just justin Jefferson, Listen, you got a rookie quarterback and
JJ McCarthy here.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Okay, so you got a lot.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Of money, but you don't have necessarily a roster around
you to guarantee that contract.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I'm pulling for.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Them, okay, in the NFC North, even though I like
the Packers in that division. But justin Jefferson, don't get
too high on your horse now, Okay, stay humble, stay grounded.
Get down there to the buy U Lsu you know,
get some of that good you know, Cajun food and
work ethics. Okay, and then get back up to the
frozen North and earn that money and get the Minnesota.
They're in the NFC, so they get the end. They
(23:58):
get the Minnesota Bukings into the playoff. If my time
is up, bet, it's great to be with you and
looking forward to a lot of helping to Ben Mallet
going into the summer month.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
All right, thank you, all right, you're the gentlemen's a
lot of time is up.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
We will move on.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Is that what they say in Congress? The gentleman from
the Massachusetts or no when they go back and no, okay,
people are giving me odd looks.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So an NFL player you've heard of not that long
ago has a new job making about the three bucks
an hour? About three bucks an hour. We'll get to that,
but right now, I had more of these riveting phone calls.
But let's get you caught up on everything going on
in the overnight. Man who has laser like focus, he's
checking those WNBA scores and checking them twice, Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Only because you're making me, oh, I have.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
No I have nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Zero.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Cooper Luke, though, is betting on the w NBA this weekend.
How about that?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
It's betting overs and unders. Interesting.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Be sure to catch live edition And so the Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Back to Baseball Ball Pottery's infielder to Cupita Marcano facing
a lifetime ban for violating leagues gambling policy. Marcano is
being accused of betting on Pirates games while they played
in Pittsburgh last season.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Would anyone better on the should be suspended just for
betting on the Pirates?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I mean, you know, probably betting on them to lose.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Well, you don't want any money if you bet against
the they're big underdogs in every game. You can't win
a lot of money doing that.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well. I love.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
This is a guy, Toukapeda. We've never who's Tucupita Marcano.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I don't even know him.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I know he's great. I've never heard of this guy.
I don't know what number did he wear Eddie double
zero double zero. All right, so much money he won?
Speaker 10 (25:46):
And yeah, well he's he's probably gonna get banned for life.
So audio signor aloha means goodbye. I can join p
Rose goesaugn autographs in Vegas. That's what Pete did when
he got banned, right, just moved to Vegas.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
He's showing.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Well.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Pee Rose did a show with JT the Brick. You
do like a radio show with JT the Bark or something.
Jack and Dayton would listen. I'm sure only if Jimmy
Donovan was part of it. But the good news is
Jimmy Donovan is going to be doing the Brown still
and according to Dick, he wants him to do the
Cleveland baseball team the Guardians formerly knows the Indians. THURWBT

fun fact. As you know by request the fun fact
a fan fit. People cannot get enough of the fun
fact they say, give me more fun. We want more fun.
(26:45):
I need more fun. We'll give you more fun. Here's
the fun, fun fun, fun fun fun. So major League Baseball.
I don't know if you've been consuming the product or not.
I have Major League Baseball on track. Major League Baseball
to have the fewest old pitches since twenty twelve, so
that's over a decade. The fewest doubles since nineteen ninety two,
(27:08):
the lowest batting average since nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
In professional base man. There's all kinds of other numbers.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Fewest home runs since twenty fifteen, which seems like it
wasn't that long ago, but that's a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Now it's twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Four, so, fewest earned runs since twenty fourteen. So there's
a lot of things that have happened ten years over
ten years.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
In these sport of baseball. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
We'll say hello to Brett who is in Cleveland, and
Brett is next, Hello, Brett, welcome, Hey Ben.
Speaker 9 (27:43):
Love the show man. Why do I say a couple
of things. I think you're right on the Justin Jefferson stuff.
It's a little outrageous to pay a wide receiver that
much money. But coming from Cleveland, I mean, we were
paying this quarterback a ton of money. But the thing
is pretty sure the Browns, between Chubbed and everyone there
(28:04):
is a little bit better than the Vikings and our
money spread around. Don't know what they're thinking. NFL is
gonna change with this, like Chase is gonna get paid.
All these wide receivers are gonna get paid way too
much money. Now, you're the second best. If you're the
second best played player on the team and you're playing
(28:24):
wide receiver, Don't get me wrong. Wide receivers matter, They're
not the second most important player on the team. I'm
a little upset with that. The other one thing I
wanted to say was I'm a Cleveland guy that comes
out here in San Francisco a lot. I love this town.
I listen to the radio, listen to you. There need
to be more Sharks fans in here. I want to
know what you think about this first pick over all
the NHL Draft.
Speaker 11 (28:45):
That's about it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Ah, Well, you you've come to the right places. You know,
you're a big fan of the show, and I think
we'll do that. Now is our six Eddy. We're doing
the NHL Draft preview is that we're doing our six right.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yes, you don't want to talk about Maclin Celebrini? Who Mac?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I don't know who that is. I was a fan
of his father name Mailman Dick. That was his name,
Old Dick Celebrini, Dick Celebrini.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
No, his dad is actually the Golden State Warriors, like
director of physical therapy or something like. He's like they
head trainer or something for the Warriors.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Is that he's not the guaranteed Baffo Sako you can't
miss number one pick though? What is?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I don't know what does that mean? He's supposed to
be very good player?
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I don't know, Like when Connor McDavid was true.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It's probably not Connor McDavid. Yeah, it's probably not that.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
And you you know, you spit a loogie at him
and he's now going to win the Stanley Cup. Here's Edmund.
You said they wouldn't even beat the stars that he
and they did, but they won't be wrong about dad
and you're you're wrong about.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
This now, you're terrible for wanting that to happen. A
terrible person.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
It's great, awful and just.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
To spite you, I might even do a hockey monologue
the this week just to spite you?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
That won't spite me. I will spite to look forward
to that.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I'm thinking about doing yeah, because I've heard people trashing
the matchup from a aesthetic perspective. Edmonton and Florida not not.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
It's because the markets aren't big market.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
That's not yeah, it's it's well, but it's not great
for me. But I'm not I unless you work for
the network. It's not great for the American TV audience.
But I'm thinking about doing something with that. I might
play around with it. I might play around with it.
It is the Ben Malor Show. Let's say hello to Tony.
Get the dump button ready, Tony in the bay, Hello, Tony, Welcome.
He's a jolly good fellow. For he's a jolly good fellow.
(30:33):
Nobody can deny about time?
Speaker 11 (30:36):
Man, what are you talking.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
About about time? You were hardly on hold it all
about time?
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Oh? The song?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
But do we have the song? Do we have that?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
For he's a jolly good fellow. Or he's a jolly
good fellow.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
He didn't want to do it the first time when
he sung it, and now he's requested.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
He loves it. He's like he thinks he's.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
Had to like practically twist his arm to get him
to do it.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
He thinks he's like a swiftye.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Now he's got his own song.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
He's like Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
People are playing on five hundred radio stations at the
same time.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
He's all fired up for that. Your dream comes trot Tony.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
So check this out, fellas. Uh, So I've been drinking,
so I apologize for what's about to happen here. So
I went to a liquor store about an hour ago,
and I'm evaluating who's in front of me, and there's
some there's two young guys in front of me, and
they're they're bigger than me. Some thinking okay, well, you know,
something goes down, you know, you know, I might be
out of luck here. And then one of their buddies,
(31:32):
uh says excuse me. And he's liter than me, and
he thought he was gonna cut in front of the
line of me, and uh, you know, and that ain't
gonna happen, you know, so either way, so I cut
him in mind, you know, I mean, well, you know,
he he he learned his lesson type of thing. So
I went to another liquor store, and there was some
Chillo there and he was in a damn good mood,
(31:54):
and and I was like, hey, go ahead, homes you know,
you know, get what you gotta get, you know. And
he's telling me about, you know, the cheaper to get this,
and it's this, that and the other. So I just
wanted to ramble on about, you know, yeah, how many how.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Many liquor stores have you gone today? Yeah? Uh?
Speaker 11 (32:13):
Two or three?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Ye?
Speaker 5 (32:16):
What's your normal purchase when you go to the liquor store?
You just get like beer, hard liquor?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
What do you go for.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
Hard liquor? Usually either three to four shouts or have
to pint depending, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Yeah, all right, it sounds like you're living your best
life there.
Speaker 11 (32:37):
I'm trying to behave you know what I'm saying. But
it's just kind of funny, you know. I mean, I mean,
I don't know, do you. I guess this is kind
of a Meller question when when you're in line, do
do you evaluate who's in front of you or who's
mind you? Type of thing?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
You know, like, Yeah, what I do is I scout
to me the most important decision at the stores, which
line you pick.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
You don't want to be behind the old person because
they take forever. They can't find their credit card or
they can't you know they pay. The worst is if
they pay with like cash.
Speaker 11 (33:04):
Hey, hey, fighting wise not? Not?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
No, fighting wise not. I don't really, I'm I'm a
pretty big guy. I mean it takes a lot. I mean,
you really gotta be on the edge of sodom and
gomorrah to kind of freak me out a little bit.
You know, it's like raining down sulfur or something like that.
But I usually don't get freaked out by people.
Speaker 11 (33:23):
Do you think you think you think your size can
help you out or you you a bowler or what
you're You could.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Kick your ass. I could kick your ass. You're talking
about it.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Hey, Tony, I'm proud of you.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
You haven't.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You made it through the call without cursing. Good job
by you.
Speaker 11 (33:40):
Yeah, but the thing is is you're talking about a
Bay Area meet and greet and you're talking about you
can kick my ass. Think about that for a second.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
No, I could kick your ass because I would have
I think about my guys. I'd have Matt there with me,
I'd have mister nice guy would be there I'd have
my team. They would they would protect me at all costs.
Speaker 11 (34:01):
I guess, I guess you're living in a fantasy roal buddy.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Okay, I'll go have another drink. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
It is the Ben Malloch Shows. How about this one?
We have an update update. Remember that Raider player that
killed the young lady and she burned up alive in
her car with a dog.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Yeah, that guy, Henry Ruggs.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
He's in jail, but only for a couple of years,
and he has a new job. Is it true I
read this, It must be true that Henry Ruggs has
been working at the Nevada governor's mansion and he's getting
paid two dollars and fifty cents an hour during his prison.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Sense.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Now, we're not sure exactly what he's doing at the
governor's mansion, but Henry Ruggs, former Alabama wide receiver and
then drafted in the first round in one of these
single worst drafts in the history in terms of high
football IQ and making good decisions. Henry Rugs, who had
signed originally a contract with the Raiders for sixteen million dollars,
(35:03):
is now making.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Two dollars and fifty cents an hour. It is at
least he's working.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
He's putting it work, all right.
Speaker 5 (35:10):

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, It's the original Recipe podcast. We were up all
night providing you with the milk of audio goodness so
you can listen when you want on demand. It's me,
your friend, Ben our one. Here we begin with the
Purple people eaters big payday on this Tuesday. What do
you like and what do you dislike about the Justin
(00:23):
Jefferson extension, the record for a non quarterback in NFL history.
You'll be sticking around Minnesota for a lot of cash. Also,
is Justin Jefferson even worth the money? It's a lot
of dough for a wide receiver. And how long does
this honeymoon period in Minnesota last between Justin Jefferson and
the franchise. We'll discuss that and a whole lot more
(00:46):
right now here we go. It's our number one. That
funny money.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It is.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The color purple is what it is.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Welcome in the beginning of a brand spanking new night
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
chewing the rag as we boil away the goo coast
to coast, border to border and beyond all the vast
(01:20):
and superabundantly powerful microphones of FSR emmundating live from the

Tire rack dot com The Way Tire Buying should be
(01:57):
our lead. This hour, we play the heads mall manits.
We're going to twin Cities where the juicy lucies are good.
The football's ah, the baseball eh, and the basketball tanked
at the end. But that is the epicenter, not for baseball,
not for basketball. It seemed lost to the the Mavericks,
(02:18):
but the epicenter of the football news cycle. The eagle
has landed, or is that the Viking has gotten to
the port.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
And it is not leaving.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
And if you did not here by now, maybe you're
just really bad at keeping track of stuff, because the
news has been out there for a while. But maybe
you missed it. Perhaps perhaps you did. We learned the
Minnesota Vikings have locked up and tossed away the key
for Justin Jefferson, he got paid, He got paid. How
(02:49):
much did he get paid? Well, four years, the total
value is up to one hundred and forty million dollars.
But when you break it down, well you say this
one sentence, Justin Jefferson received the riches of Solomon or
in this case, the Viking ownership group. Jefferson now the
highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. He never has
(03:11):
to worry about completing a pass. I don't have to
worry about that. They're huddling up and going over the
plays and all that. He just has to listen to
the quarterback and the I'll go out there and run
out and catch passes. Two point one million dollars per game.
If my math is correct, signing bonus is about thirty
seven million, one of those giant oversized cartoon checks. First year,
(03:32):
he'll make thirty eight million, year two sixty nine point
nine million dollars, and then in year three ninety five
point seven. All those numbers are number one in the
entire NFL. So the actual value the actual retail value
of guaranteed money, meaning if Justin Jefferson stinks out loud
(03:55):
and smells like the bottom of weed, man hippies feet
in South Florida. One hundred and ten million guarantee one
hundred and ten million the average annual value. And I
always do this when I compare my money to like
Colin Cowherd or Rob Parker. I was like, Wow, what's
my average annual value? It's thirty five million per year.
(04:19):
That's the average annual value. So let us discuss a
lot of numbers. I was told by a boss early
on in my career, you're never supposed to give out
that many numbers on the radio. Bend people are not
paying that close attention. I just did it because I'm
bad at this. But the question what do you like
and what do you dislike about the Justin Jefferson extension
(04:39):
with the Viking. So I've got Bullseye Moss and Biggie
Smalls and we will combine all of these things together.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
We'll throw them against the wall and see what sticks.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So a the thing that I'll say first is a
rather obvious it's pointed out, throw this out in the cosmos.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Is is that business is booming.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Maybe all all of us, everyone who's got a job,
maybe we all work in an industry that is doing
as well as professional football in the zeitgeist of America,
the NFL is the opium of the masses.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
We say it all the times, only getting more like that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Just about every man, woman and child who has a
little bit of the sporty gene. Now, not everyone's born
with the sporty gene. There's a lot of people out
there in the world that aren't like us. They're not
sports people. They're bad people, as we call them, bad people.
But for everyone that's into sports even a little bit,
you end up hypnotized and mesmerized by the product and
(05:37):
the revenues. What do they do? Do they go up
or do they go down? It's like a rocket going
out to outer space, but not the vomit comet. No, No,
it's like a rocket going out to out of space.
The Viking franchise, the Minnesota Vikings, are worth almost five
billion dollars, the Minnesota Vikings, yeah point six. Now, our
(06:01):
guy Femi in Minnesota is starting a gofund that's trump
change to him. He's gonna get a gofund me by
the team, no problem. But now what we don't like.
The thing that we don't like here is that, And
I admit this is an age thing. But my entire
life I was raised watching football that receivers, while important,
(06:22):
are not that important that you can win. Kansas City
this year won the Super Bowl. They had guys they
literally took off Craigslist and they signed him. They signed guys, Hey,
you want to play wide receiver for the Chiefs, and
they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And yet here the Minnesota Vikings are.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And again this is more of my problem than anything else,
but the Vikings are forking over this amount of money
to a guy's out on an island. Now it's a
nice island, it's very rich island. Good for him, but
last I checked, he can't throw himself the ball. He
cannot throw himself the ball, which means this is like
shopping at the bulls eye store. You going to the target, right,
(07:04):
you're going to target how many targets? Let's do some
mal of Matthew. How many targets is justin Jefferson going
to get per game? But we know what he has done.
Jefferson in his career has averaged nine point six targets
per game, so about ten a game, well round up
ten a game. So you're paying him two million dollars
a little over two million a game, and you're gonna
(07:27):
throw the ball ten times. That's it. Out of roughly
sixty five to seventy five plays, give or take, you're
gonna throw the ball to him ten times, and so
far he's averaged six and a half catches per game.
All right, now, pitchdo, is Justin Jefferson the riches mine
in the world right now in the NFL outside of quarterbacks?
(07:48):
Is he worth the money? Is he worth the money?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Now?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I know I just said a very negative that I
was raised as a football fan that you should not
overvalue receivers that teams win all the time, even in
this era, as we said in Kansas City, without having
a super nova at the wide receiver position, Chiefs have
won the last two They got rid of thereforeever wide receiver,
(08:12):
the Cheatah. They kicked him out of Kansas City. And
they've won the last two Super Bowls with guys like
Marquez Valdez, Scantling and that speed racer guy that likes
to go really fast around Dallas.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
That guy.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So to answer the question, though, is Justin Jefferson worth
the money? Why? I admit I have neurosis when it
comes my issue here with paying the receiver that much money,
that's a me issue. That's my problem, right, And Justin Jefferson.
He has gone to the publisher and he has revised
the NFL record book and the numbers for that position
(08:47):
are mind boggling. Most receiving yards per game in his
career almost one hundred ninety eight point three, which is
also an FM rock station in Toledo. You've also got
the youngest player in NFL history to lead the league
in receptions at receiving yards in a season. He did
that in twenty twenty two. Also, most receiving yards through
(09:08):
I can go on and on. I mean, every frickin'
number for a receiver. It's Justin Jefferson. But when you
take a couple of steps back, you got to stare
and you might want to get a power washer. It's
all about the Moss, as in Randy Moss, straight cash, homie,
or in this case maybe it better analog. You would
be the Beast Mode and Marshawn Lynch, as he famously said,
(09:30):
take care of you all chickens. So this is fair
market value. The revenues keep going up. It's a multi
multi billion dollar industry and good for Jefferson, Mazleta, you're
buying juicy Lucy's for everybody. Good for you. Now, the
last part of this not to be a negative person,
because I am generally Benny Brightside on this show, mister positive.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
But I do have to throw.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
A little splash, a little pinch of reality to this.
How long does this hunting moon? One hundred and ten
million dollar guaranteed money hunting mooon? How long does this last?
For Justin Jefferson in Minnesota? And as you know, I
am a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostro Denis.
I also own a magic eight ball that was gifted
(10:16):
to me by a fan of the show, so I
have all those things. I am clairvoyant. I have eaten
many fortune cookies. If you know, I was very fat.
I had a lot of fortune cookies. I'm still large,
so I know fortunes. And the answer to the question
how long does this hunting moon period last for Justin
Jefferson in Minnesota is not long at all, Not long
(10:38):
at all. And I've got to about week seven, week
eight of this year. That's what I've got. Biggie Small's
a croon back years ago that more money, more problems,
and that would be the issue. The thing too about
this is the idea, the premise, the very premise that
(11:00):
if you pay someone X amount of money they will
then be happy, no matter what that is. We know
that's not true. That temporarily that is a pacifier, but
long term there are still issues. And Jefferson, last I checked,
will be stepping into the black hole, not the Raiders
(11:20):
black hole, that would be the quarterback room in Minnesota.
For illustration purposes only, I'll use my telestrator here on
the radio, but justin Jefferson will be catching passes from
that's right, Sam Donald. And if Sam Darnold does not
keep the job, you probably won't the Vikings will go
(11:42):
with the great unknown JJ McCarthy. Yeah, the Sam JJ
McCarthy who was so good at Michigan. They often didn't
have him throw the ball because I know, in my
experience watching college football in the modern era, when you
have an elite NFL quarterback, you hide the quarterback from
defenses because college defenses, right, I mean, they you don't
(12:05):
want to embarrass them, so you'll have them throw eight
ten passes a game something like that.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
But that's J. J. McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He's in line panic picked by the Vikings, but he's
in line to be the quarterback. Now, maybe he'll make
us all look like jackasses and go out there and
play well. But that's not that exciting. If you're Justin Jefferson,
you're not all going ho. But if Minnesota the way
I look at this kind of obviously, if Minnesota is
a middling team somewhere in that six and eleven, seven
(12:31):
and ten area in a division with the Lions, who
are going to be good again, and the Packers, who
everyone's slobbering all over. They got their knee pads out
for Jordan Love, they're so excited for him. But we
garantee if the Vikings are a mid level franchise, the
(12:52):
middle class of the NFL, teetering on the lower end,
then Justin Jefferson will be looking around for that gold
plated transfer portal and up, up and away as soon
as possible, right, because life does come at you fast,
even in that tax bracket. The first person that taught
(13:13):
me that money cannot guarantee happiness is a guy named
Kevin Brown. You might not know who that is. You
got to be, you gotta be have a certain age
to know that he's a baseball player and a very
good starting pitcher. The Dodgers signed this cat to an
s load of money, but he didn't want to play
on the West coast from Georgia. Had a nice house
there and family's there. I didn't want to play on
(13:35):
the West coast. But the Dodgers threw in all these flights.
So he was the highest paid pitcher in baseball, ton
of money, a lot more than everyone else, and the
biggest schmuck in the biggest a hole. Hated everyone, treated
everyone like crap, as I recall, and so, and he's
like the richest guy. Say, he hated everything. He complained
about everything. This's a surly schmuck. And so I was like,
(13:59):
if he's not happy, then there you go. Money does
not buy happenings, although it certainly helps. It gets you close.
I will say, it does get you close, and I'd
like to have those problems. I would like to have
those problems. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Speaking of problems. We'll take your calls. Speak easy.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Rules are in effact now. Tomorrow we are planning on
having a newby night. Although I did schedule the octagon
blind Scott representing Boston against a Maverick fan. I'm not
sure we have our Maverick fan, but we I think
we have our guy. But he's a truck driver and
so we might not be available, but we will. We'll
have a newby Night that'll be coming up tomorrow. So
(14:36):
I guess we can push back the octagon to the
following I mean that that.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Works, right.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I mean that's leading into the first game of the
NBA Finals, because I think it's gonna start sometime in
like October. Is that when the NBA Finals begin? You know,
the players need a lot of rest, you know, I
get that European media to come over here to the States.
Very expensive travel. Anyway, we'll have your calls also on
X at Ben Mahllor, that is at Ben if you'd
(15:00):
like to be part. Speaking money, though, a former NFL player,
player drafted in the first round, has a new job.
And this is not that long ago. This is not
that long ago. This player in the NFL is now
making two dollars and fifty cents an hour roughly. What
is that all about. We'll get to it and we
will do it next.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Began with the big signing in the NFL, Justin Jefferson
cashing in his chips, staying with Sam Donald. When you
have a partnership with Sam Donald JJ McCarthy, you can't
leave the Vikes semi wide receiver's dream. But we have
seen over the years Megatron. When the great receivers of
all time in NFL history played on bad teams in
(16:59):
Detroit had stats. Lawrence writes and says, yes, Lorena will
join Roberto singing the wheels on the bus go round
and round. The wheels on the bus go round and
round and becomes a child hating school bus driver. Lorena,
can you practice the wheels on the bus go round
and round right all through the town. There you go,
You got that line up. I know a guy. Everyone
(17:21):
needs to know a guy. I know a guy that
can get you a gig there. Yeah, you know a
bus driver. I know a bus driver. Oh my gosh,
I know. And if you want to drive a bus
in San Francisco, I know a guy there. You can
drive right through the Tenderloin District, beautiful part of town. Right,
you can see the zombie apocalypse, the real thing right
there walking around. I don't know if I could handle
that pressure having all those lives in my hand. Well,
(17:42):
I've met Lance the bus driver, and he doesn't seem
to care. So, yeah, he doesn't give a crap. He
just you know, he and he's he's got a better
life for me. He goes like Paris and all these different,
you know, random places around the world because he knows
somebody that works at the allens.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Because you got the key to life.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Well, Education's great key of life though, is to know
a guy in any business. Right, if you know, if
you know a guy at the hotel, you can get
discount rates for hotel room. If you know a guy
at the airlines, you get half price air for right,
And these are all very important thing.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Do I know anyone at a gas station that gets
gas discounts?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
There?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
There are people that get there. Yes, if you if
you move to the Middle East, you can get hooked
up there. Saudi Arabia, I hear the Saudis. They can
hook you up with some free gas there. Absolutely nice
or Alaska, I think in Alaska. The gases is pretty cheap.
They have good fish there, yeah, they have. They have
and eskimos and Eskimo pies, and I think those aren't
(18:40):
I don't know. But it's the key to life is
not what you know, it's it's who you know. But
it's you got no people in key business. Like I
had a buddy of mine years ago who had a
I think it was called the Golden Arches card from McDonald's.
Could go into any McDonald's in the country. You get
a free meal, which at the time was not that expressive.
(19:02):
Now it cost you like tow hundreducks seat McDonald's. Yeah,
they just you know, just killing people with the prices
there at mickey De's. But this guy had a Golden
Archers card, so he go any McDonald's. He flashed the card,
free meal whatever you want. Great is that because he
knew a guy because.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
He was se you think about stealing it from him
has a name on it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That's the problem.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yeah, that's the issue there.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It would have been nice though, all right, what do
we have you let's see page down. Uh Slim Tim says,
I couldn't stop laughing at the Jefferson deal. The Vikings
trophy cases will still be empty. Well, I'm not worried
about that. I just think it's dog kill. It's good
for him, but the whole wide receiver. I blame my
football mentors who taught me you can't be doing that,
(19:44):
but they did. They did it. Ferg dog rights and says,
help me out, Ben. I just got an email from
Spectrum saying that all the PAC twelve network channels are
going away. It's something happened to the PAC twelve conference
that I'm not aware of, or his Spectrum just screwing
me over again. Yeah, it says right there, PAC twelve network, Arizona,
(20:05):
Bay Area, La Mountain, Oregon and Washington all going away.
You know what that is? That's spitting a loogie at
the PAC two with Oregon State disrespecting the Beavers. I mean,
bad job by the and the Kougs. The Cougars are coming.
The Cougars are coming, and the Beavers. Anthony Anaheim Cougars
(20:26):
are coming. The single greatest commercial history of Fox Sports
radio and will never be topped. Anthony in Anaheim says, Hi, Ben,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (20:37):
In?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Andrea's voice shout out Jed who fled? We don't do shoutouts,
bad job by you Ya Femi in Chicago Rights since
says a plus and Lemon Pepper wings on the Malar monologue,
Jefferson will be pouting on the sidelines, wiping his tears
with money. The worse than the actual Vikings final battle
(20:58):
in the year ten sixty at Stanford Bridge versus the
English Right.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So I guess he went to Wikipedia and.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Looked at all that.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Anthony says, I'm about to be off for a month
so I can call in every day like the good
old days. This is Anthony having another kid, so he
has a lot of children. Anthony's yeah, why would you
be off from work for a month? Did he get
in a car accident? Car accident or a kid? One
of the two. Let's go to the phones. We'll say
hello to a Eeny Meani miney Moll. Let's say hello
(21:30):
to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Ben?
Speaker 9 (21:37):
Listen?
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Very good to be back with you.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Very good.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
I've been far too long. School year kind of wrapping up,
so we all know that I hit my stride towards
the end of the spring, going into.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
That you will be back. We'd like to alerd all
the affiliates we will get and we will get extra
helpings of Andre in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
You can book it at the NBA Finals progress just
particularly after the Celtics take it home. I'm saying six games,
maybe seven games max, Celtics gonna take it home. They're
gonna calm down this Luca, this Luca legend thing that
we got going on, it's gonna be wonderful. And then
going into the summer months, because it's particularly doing the
fourth July, that's when we're going to get the peak viewership.
I know people are going to be excited to rain
(22:18):
down the criticisms on me. But listen, Ben, you talked
about mister Jefferson and how we secure the bag. We know,
money only makes you more of what you already are.
Doesn't buy happiness. Now, it goes a long way to
buying the comfort. You know, you don't have to wake
up at the crack of dawn. You're not out there
laying you know, doing heavy duty construction out in the
high seat as a fisherman. So you live a comfortable life.
(22:40):
But it's only gonna make you more of what you
were beforehand, you know, So if you were angry, surly
guy like this gentleman who you covered, you know, and
you had a bad attitude and a pessimistic perspective. Well,
that's just gonna be hypening with the money that you've gotten,
and you're just going to be a bigger, unfriendly, mal
content type of a person. So what you said about
the NFL, it is the gift that keeps on giving.
(23:02):
You know, the biggest sport twenty five billion dollar valuation
that Roger Goodell has them on their way too, when
he's got the private jet for his own personal use
for life, you know, based on the contract that he signed,
you know, and the the Viking's worth almost five billion dollars,
So that's gonna the money's gonna keep going up right
across the board. We all know this, but specific to
the Vikings, we got to stay with the Vikings here, Ben,
(23:24):
just justin Jefferson, Listen, you got a rookie quarterback and
JJ McCarthy here.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Okay, so you got a lot.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Of money, but you don't have necessarily a roster around
you to guarantee that contract.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I'm pulling for.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Them, okay, in the NFC North, even though I like
the Packers in that division. But justin Jefferson, don't get
too high on your horse now, Okay, stay humble, stay grounded.
Get down there to the buy U Lsu you know,
get some of that good you know, Cajun food and
work ethics. Okay, and then get back up to the
frozen North and earn that money and get the Minnesota.
They're in the NFC, so they get the end. They
(23:58):
get the Minnesota Bukings into the playoff. If my time
is up, bet, it's great to be with you and
looking forward to a lot of helping to Ben Mallet
going into the summer month.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
All right, thank you, all right, you're the gentlemen's a
lot of time is up.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
We will move on.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Is that what they say in Congress? The gentleman from
the Massachusetts or no when they go back and no, okay,
people are giving me odd looks.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So an NFL player you've heard of not that long
ago has a new job making about the three bucks
an hour? About three bucks an hour. We'll get to that,
but right now, I had more of these riveting phone calls.
But let's get you caught up on everything going on
in the overnight. Man who has laser like focus, he's
checking those WNBA scores and checking them twice, Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Only because you're making me, oh, I have.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
No I have nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Zero.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Cooper Luke, though, is betting on the w NBA this weekend.
How about that?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
It's betting overs and unders. Interesting.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Be sure to catch live edition And so the Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Back to Baseball Ball Pottery's infielder to Cupita Marcano facing
a lifetime ban for violating leagues gambling policy. Marcano is
being accused of betting on Pirates games while they played
in Pittsburgh last season.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Would anyone better on the should be suspended just for
betting on the Pirates?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I mean, you know, probably betting on them to lose.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Well, you don't want any money if you bet against
the they're big underdogs in every game. You can't win
a lot of money doing that.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well. I love.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
This is a guy, Toukapeda. We've never who's Tucupita Marcano.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I don't even know him.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I know he's great. I've never heard of this guy.
I don't know what number did he wear Eddie double
zero double zero. All right, so much money he won?
Speaker 10 (25:46):
And yeah, well he's he's probably gonna get banned for life.
So audio signor aloha means goodbye. I can join p
Rose goesaugn autographs in Vegas. That's what Pete did when
he got banned, right, just moved to Vegas.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
He's showing.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Well.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Pee Rose did a show with JT the Brick. You
do like a radio show with JT the Bark or something.
Jack and Dayton would listen. I'm sure only if Jimmy
Donovan was part of it. But the good news is
Jimmy Donovan is going to be doing the Brown still
and according to Dick, he wants him to do the
Cleveland baseball team the Guardians formerly knows the Indians. THURWBT

fun fact. As you know by request the fun fact
a fan fit. People cannot get enough of the fun
fact they say, give me more fun. We want more fun.
(26:45):
I need more fun. We'll give you more fun. Here's
the fun, fun fun, fun fun fun. So major League Baseball.
I don't know if you've been consuming the product or not.
I have Major League Baseball on track. Major League Baseball
to have the fewest old pitches since twenty twelve, so
that's over a decade. The fewest doubles since nineteen ninety two,
(27:08):
the lowest batting average since nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
In professional base man. There's all kinds of other numbers.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Fewest home runs since twenty fifteen, which seems like it
wasn't that long ago, but that's a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Now it's twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Four, so, fewest earned runs since twenty fourteen. So there's
a lot of things that have happened ten years over
ten years.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
In these sport of baseball. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
We'll say hello to Brett who is in Cleveland, and
Brett is next, Hello, Brett, welcome, Hey Ben.
Speaker 9 (27:43):
Love the show man. Why do I say a couple
of things. I think you're right on the Justin Jefferson stuff.
It's a little outrageous to pay a wide receiver that
much money. But coming from Cleveland, I mean, we were
paying this quarterback a ton of money. But the thing
is pretty sure the Browns, between Chubbed and everyone there
(28:04):
is a little bit better than the Vikings and our
money spread around. Don't know what they're thinking. NFL is
gonna change with this, like Chase is gonna get paid.
All these wide receivers are gonna get paid way too
much money. Now, you're the second best. If you're the
second best played player on the team and you're playing
(28:24):
wide receiver, Don't get me wrong. Wide receivers matter, They're
not the second most important player on the team. I'm
a little upset with that. The other one thing I
wanted to say was I'm a Cleveland guy that comes
out here in San Francisco a lot. I love this town.
I listen to the radio, listen to you. There need
to be more Sharks fans in here. I want to
know what you think about this first pick over all
the NHL Draft.
Speaker 11 (28:45):
That's about it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Ah, Well, you you've come to the right places. You know,
you're a big fan of the show, and I think
we'll do that. Now is our six Eddy. We're doing
the NHL Draft preview is that we're doing our six right.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yes, you don't want to talk about Maclin Celebrini? Who Mac?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I don't know who that is. I was a fan
of his father name Mailman Dick. That was his name,
Old Dick Celebrini, Dick Celebrini.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
No, his dad is actually the Golden State Warriors, like
director of physical therapy or something like. He's like they
head trainer or something for the Warriors.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Is that he's not the guaranteed Baffo Sako you can't
miss number one pick though? What is?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I don't know what does that mean? He's supposed to
be very good player?
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I don't know, Like when Connor McDavid was true.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It's probably not Connor McDavid. Yeah, it's probably not that.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
And you you know, you spit a loogie at him
and he's now going to win the Stanley Cup. Here's Edmund.
You said they wouldn't even beat the stars that he
and they did, but they won't be wrong about dad
and you're you're wrong about.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
This now, you're terrible for wanting that to happen. A
terrible person.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
It's great, awful and just.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
To spite you, I might even do a hockey monologue
the this week just to spite you?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
That won't spite me. I will spite to look forward
to that.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I'm thinking about doing yeah, because I've heard people trashing
the matchup from a aesthetic perspective. Edmonton and Florida not not.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
It's because the markets aren't big market.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
That's not yeah, it's it's well, but it's not great
for me. But I'm not I unless you work for
the network. It's not great for the American TV audience.
But I'm thinking about doing something with that. I might
play around with it. I might play around with it.
It is the Ben Malor Show. Let's say hello to Tony.
Get the dump button ready, Tony in the bay, Hello, Tony, Welcome.
He's a jolly good fellow. For he's a jolly good fellow.
(30:33):
Nobody can deny about time?
Speaker 11 (30:36):
Man, what are you talking.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
About about time? You were hardly on hold it all
about time?
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Oh? The song?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
But do we have the song? Do we have that?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
For he's a jolly good fellow. Or he's a jolly
good fellow.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
He didn't want to do it the first time when
he sung it, and now he's requested.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
He loves it. He's like he thinks he's.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
Had to like practically twist his arm to get him
to do it.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
He thinks he's like a swiftye.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Now he's got his own song.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
He's like Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
People are playing on five hundred radio stations at the
same time.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
He's all fired up for that. Your dream comes trot Tony.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
So check this out, fellas. Uh, So I've been drinking,
so I apologize for what's about to happen here. So
I went to a liquor store about an hour ago,
and I'm evaluating who's in front of me, and there's
some there's two young guys in front of me, and
they're they're bigger than me. Some thinking okay, well, you know,
something goes down, you know, you know, I might be
out of luck here. And then one of their buddies,
(31:32):
uh says excuse me. And he's liter than me, and
he thought he was gonna cut in front of the
line of me, and uh, you know, and that ain't
gonna happen, you know, so either way, so I cut
him in mind, you know, I mean, well, you know,
he he he learned his lesson type of thing. So
I went to another liquor store, and there was some
Chillo there and he was in a damn good mood,
(31:54):
and and I was like, hey, go ahead, homes you know,
you know, get what you gotta get, you know. And
he's telling me about, you know, the cheaper to get this,
and it's this, that and the other. So I just
wanted to ramble on about, you know, yeah, how many how.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Many liquor stores have you gone today? Yeah? Uh?
Speaker 11 (32:13):
Two or three?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Ye?
Speaker 5 (32:16):
What's your normal purchase when you go to the liquor store?
You just get like beer, hard liquor?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
What do you go for.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
Hard liquor? Usually either three to four shouts or have
to pint depending, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Yeah, all right, it sounds like you're living your best
life there.
Speaker 11 (32:37):
I'm trying to behave you know what I'm saying. But
it's just kind of funny, you know. I mean, I mean,
I don't know, do you. I guess this is kind
of a Meller question when when you're in line, do
do you evaluate who's in front of you or who's
mind you? Type of thing?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
You know, like, Yeah, what I do is I scout
to me the most important decision at the stores, which
line you pick.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
You don't want to be behind the old person because
they take forever. They can't find their credit card or
they can't you know they pay. The worst is if
they pay with like cash.
Speaker 11 (33:04):
Hey, hey, fighting wise not? Not?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
No, fighting wise not. I don't really, I'm I'm a
pretty big guy. I mean it takes a lot. I mean,
you really gotta be on the edge of sodom and
gomorrah to kind of freak me out a little bit.
You know, it's like raining down sulfur or something like that.
But I usually don't get freaked out by people.

I think about my guys. I'd have Matt there with me,
