Speaker 1 (01:09):
But here it is our number four. Now that is
a big board.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Everywhere, fellow shareholders, as we preach to the converted coast
to coast border, the mot and beyond on the vast
and euphorically powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from
the hour, the overnight amateur hour now early in the morning.
(01:49):
We're broadcasting live from thee tiraq dot com studios ti
raq dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Well help you get there in.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended in stallers. Frank in La is
wrapping his head around that Frank used to listen overnight.
He listens to the podcast now ti iraq dot com
the way tire buying should be. He became a big
(02:16):
muckety muck at SOFI Stadium in Southern California. So our
lead this hour is from Sinn City.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Are we gonna talk about the summer League? Is this
a Bronny James Malar monologue?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, no, no, no, no, no, it is not.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It is not. Our lead This hour, though, is from Vegas.
The Raids who do not figure to be more than average.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Right, they'll be right there in the middle of several
pitch stops they're gonna have to make because players are
gonna break down. All players get hurt in the NFL,
but the Raiders don't have a lot of depth anyway.
The Raiders do not figure to be very good. That said,
they have found a way to feed the content machine
and for that we are grateful.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
God bless him.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Now, if you have not heard the latest case, you
were busy watching other random things, perhaps you missed it.
Davante Adams wants you and every man, woman and child
to know that he has done research on who the
top receiver is in the NFL, and it is survey.
Says Davante Adams that he's better than Justin Jefferson, Ceedee Lamb,
(03:31):
Jamar Chase, Cooper, Cupp.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And all these other guys.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And he did this on a Fledgling podcast hosted by
Shannon Sharp, saying, quote, if you say the best, and
you probably go Jefferson.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
After that he said, he says he was the best.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And then after that was Jefferson says, over the last
six years, there's only been one person people can't take
out of the top three, and that's me. Yeah, she
pulled the muscle, adding himself on the back. So this
is what I want to talk to you about. The
question on this one. As we ring the bell, DeVante
Adams says that the NFL's top receiver is Davante Adams. Okay,
(04:16):
I'm the top guy ahead of Justin Jefferson, everyone else.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Give me your reaction.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Your reaction on all right, So I've got yoga, kiss
and fun zone, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to take a long nap.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I don't take naps. A lot of people do. I'm
not a nap. I'm jealous of people that can nap.
I wake up from a nap. I'm very groggy.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's not a good situation anyway to kick off the
festivities here. My reaction speaking of grogging, is my reaction
to DeVante Adams saying that he's the top NFL receiver
is a yawn?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Is Davonte Adams loves himself? Some DeVonta Adams good for
him by default? To make it as a professional athlete,
you have to be full of yourself once in a
blue mood? Do you have a professional athlete that actually
has a grasp on reality. In order to succeed, you
have to have strong diva tendencies. I get that going in,
(05:23):
but Adams is chowing down on Bravado buffet. If you will,
all you can eat machismo right now.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Spiler alert, spiler alert. DeVante Adams.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
While he has been very productive, if you play fantasy football,
you know that, you know that.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But DeVante Adams is trending the wrong direction. He's he's
going down, down, down, down, down, down down. And that's
not my opinion, it's a fact that. What's my evidence.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Davonte adams production went sideways. It went the wrong way
last season his second year with the Raiders, his yards
and touch downs. Did a little bit of yoga, a
little hot yoga. They did the downward dog is what
they did. They're compared to his previous three seasons, most
of those in Green Bay. Now keep in mind, you
could argue that the Raiders don't have a quarterback, but
(06:13):
that doesn't really work because we have seen guys that
have played on bad teams that have racked up very
gaudy stat lines. In fact, often if you're on a
bad team, you are in a better position.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
This used to be the argument.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's not so much anymore, because everyone passed even when
they have the lead, but you're in position to fatten
up your stat sheet because you're getting those garbage time yards.
You can be a stat bandito earlier or more effectively,
I should say, in garbage time right now. So keep
in mind also, I always have to put this disclaimer.
DeVante Adams says, hey, I'm the best wide receiver. The
(06:48):
legal definition of the term best, the best is as
good as all the others in that category. So it's
like Devonte Adams. Think of Devonte Adams like a Pepperoni pizza.
He's the world's best Pepperoni pizza. And then a block
over is another Pepperoni pizza, which is also the world's
best because they can say that because they're the best,
(07:08):
and the best means as good as all the rest. Now, furthermore,
we now head to court where should mentioned this story
earlier in the show.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You might have missed it. Raining NFL MVP.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Lamar Jackson Action Jackson, the Man that Met left hundreds
of thousands of dollars on the table because he failed
to show up to a rather easy work assignment. So
Lamar Jackson is challenging the Pro Football Hall of Fame
quarterback Troy He's on TV. Now, this is all about
(07:42):
the use of the number eight, crazy eights. It was
a lawsuit filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office,
not a lawsuit. It was a complaint, which is not
technically a lawsuit. But this is bizarro world, right, bizarre world.
So the burning question, Lamar Jackson and Troy Aikman are
(08:04):
in a fight over number eight. They're wrangling over this
uniform number number eight. Whose side are you on? So
I stand with Troy Aikman. I stand with Aikman. I'm
what I'm doing here, and I don't know much about this.
I just read a few stories about it. But what
I did read and what I was able to soak
(08:25):
in is that I used the kiss method. Keep it simple, stupid,
all right, Troy Aikman war number eight before Lamar Jackson
was even alive.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Okay, So that's the first.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Thing his legal bullpucky from from the whole thing is annoying.
Aikman filed papers, and then Jackson Jackson his lawyers fired
filed papers. But Lamar Jackson's lawyer had the hootzbug all
lawyers at Footsbagh. But to say that Aikman's attempt to
use the number eight on a peril and bags and
(09:01):
overpriced merchandise. You don't need that that would likely cause confusion,
or cause mistake or to deceive that there is deception
by Troy Aikman. He talked about the purchasing public as
to whether or not they were buying products from Lamar
Jackson or Troy Aikman's company. And to that, I would
(09:26):
like to quote the great Jackie Slater number seventy eight,
as he would say, what in the world like oivey like,
seriously tell me you think the people that buy your
products are Schmendricks without telling me you think the people
that buy your products are Schmendricks.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Crazy eights.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Indeed, Troy Aikman is fifty seven years old. He last
played an NFL game almost twenty five years ago. Okay,
and if you were to put Aikman and Lamar jacks
in side by side, would anyone confuse Aikman and Lamar?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I methinks not, but maybe maybe maybe you would. I
don't know. It's crazy craziness all right now.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Last thing I saw this bouncing around and I wanted
to spend a couple of minutes on it. It involves a
an insider football insider for the Athletic that's a pay
website that was purchased by the old gray lady.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
So would you make what do you I guess what
the way I phrase it?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
What do you make of Diana Russini, the NFL insider
complaining publicly recently that there is nothing worse. These are
her wors, nothing worse than NFL aggregators misrepresenting the news,
the news that she reports.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So I saw this, I did a double take.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I thought at first this might be sports Talk Barry
or Babylon Bee or butt crack Sports or something along
those lines. But it turns out it is authentic. It's
not AI. We don't think it's AI. And so I
was racking my brain here, I give this thing stinkye
is what I do? Talk about being overly dramatic? Does
she think she's Walter Kankite here? Like there's one of
(11:12):
the great journalists our time? Here she's gonna win some
kind of journalism award for reporting on which NFL free
agent is gonna go to which team and get bags
of money because the agent.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Told you what's going to come on. I understand you've
got a job to do. I get it.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
But as a forefather of aggregation, the old Benmallard dot Com,
which no longer exists. I stand with the people, the
people who bundle together the stories of the day. That's
who I stand with. It's sensory overload every single f
in day, consuming the sports media and just.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
The media in general.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
It's like being in a fund zone with all these
mirrors and you're on the midway and it's every single sense.
It's overwhelming to your senses. And this maybe an unpopular opinion.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I don't think it is.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Most people get their news from aggregators. Most people get
their news from aggregators. And that's my final opinion.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Are they in the engagement farming business. Yes, but that's
their jobs. That's what they do. Is that bad No,
Because it's for the greater good. It saves you time,
it saves me time in the rat race of life.
It's a one stop shop, a good aggregator and I
did it back in the day myself. A good aggregator
(12:38):
is stockpiling all of the stuff that you want to see,
all the headlines in one place. And that's wonderful and
the most valuable thing that we all have is our time.
We say it regularly. You don't know how much you have.
When it's gone, it's gone. You can't buy more of it,
and that's it. It's finito and so it's very virus.
So if you save some time every day, you're you're
(13:00):
enjoying yourself more because of aggregators. So God bless America
and God bless sports news aggregators.

Speaker 6 (14:50):
It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
A sports story, but it is a wild story that's
been going on all night. We have not mentioned it
because why would we were doing a sports radio show.
But I want to mention it for a few minutes
because I've got some of my buddies on the East
Coast have been sending me stories in different cities.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
There's a global I'm want to sure I phrased this
the right way.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
There's a worldwide internet outage with Microsoft that has absolutely crippled.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
The airline industry.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
There's a bunch of flights, as I understand it from
what we're reading here, that are not able to take
to the skies. There's problems with communication. There's reports out
of Vegas that the casinos and we have boots on
the ground in Vegas, so maybe somebody can call up
and let us know if this is actually going on.
But the ATMs were all down, have been down most
of the night since the Internet went out. The slot
(15:46):
machines are all on the interweb, they're down.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Did I say exactly what caused it yet?
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
It was something to do now, something with Microsoft.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
There was an issue, some kind of maybe it was hackers,
I don't know, but something involving Microsoft, and like everything's down, wild,
Like you know, this is gonna.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Feed the the conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Dude, everyone does money now with the internet, right, I mean,
how many people have cash?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
That's uh, that's pretty wild. Anyway, that's going on. How
long you think that's gonna last?
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I don't know, hopefully not very long.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Well, I was telling Coop if this had happened while
I was in Hawaii, I'd still be in Hawaii, right
because they can't fly because everything's tied. Although the flight,
the flight I took, they used that Elon Musk Skylink.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
That was the greatest Internet I've ever had on a plane.
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Which is not part of Microsoft, it's its own thing.
But that that Skylink here, used that Skylink Internet.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And so I've never flowen on a flight until this
last couple of weeks. When you fly on a flight
that used the Skylink thing, the Elon Musk thing, you
can be on your phone while the takeoff and landing.
They don't care it doesn't you know, it's usually have
to put your phone away and all.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They don't don't do whatever you want?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Cool?

Speaker 9 (24:33):
Yeah, yeah better. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
I'm miss talking to you guys.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well we missed you. When I was away. I was like,
the one thing I miss is Dick. When I was
in hawaiis where's Dick? And Dayton?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I said, I need to talk to David. Eddie. I
have such freedom now I can say.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Whatever I want it. I love it. It's so good.
All right, well, Dick, be good, Okay, thank you, take
care of all right?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Bye bye. Here he goes, Dick. Ah, what happens anyone
he sends a picture?
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
What is that again?
Speaker 6 (25:05):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The good thing about guys like Dick and Dayton he
doesn't care at all about the Internet, because I'll tell
you what Dick's gonna do. Dick's gonna send me a
postcard in the mail or to coop, and it's gonna
have chicken scratch on it, and we'll get it probably
by the time week seven of.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
The NFL season comes around.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
No.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
So now, my friend Bob points out, I'd forgotten about this,
But that whole airplane mode on planes thing. You know,
they don't make you do it on chartered flights. They
own only on commercial flights.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Why is that? Why would probably? But if you fly
a chartered flight. I've flown on a few of them
back in the old days. Many years of this goes back,
many many years. They said, you know what, they didn't say,
go on airplane mode. Did whatever you want. They still
do that.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
But on the flight I took back from Hawaii because
we were on that starlink thing, they said, do whatever
you want, knock yourself out.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
I'm out old Tiger Woods trying to make the cut.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Well, boys, not going too well, and we had a
malar monologue on him earlier. Now the cut is plus three.
Tiger was plus eight started the day. He's now at
plus ten through three holes. He is two over par
with a couple of bogies and one par. So go ahead,
and if you weren't already calling it quits on Tiger
(26:30):
playing on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Good, But I'd say he could get to the airport
and fly back before the round's over.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But I lying anywhere. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
In fact, I just got video here of the Philadelphia airport.
We'd like to say a lot to all we're on
in Philadelphia. All the people listening at the Philadelphia Airport, they're
not handling it very well, Adie.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
There are lines all over. I've been to that air
but there are lines everywhere.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
People they don't know they're yelling. They had these screaming.
There's of course TV cameras there to document everything. That's good,
good times.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Hopefully all the baseball teams have already arrived for their
for their series.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh yeah, they have to get the d before.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
But this thing, if this will not continue more than
a day or two, right, you would.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Think I would hope, I would hope.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, you're right. To travel by professional teams is also
a factor.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
We had a trade in the NBA. The Clippers and
Jazz involved a sign and trade involving former league MVP
Russell Westbrook. But he's not going from the Clippers to
the Jazz because there's some shenanigans going on behind the
scenes there. Actually, the Jazz are going to buy out
his contract. They're going to put him on waivers so
the Denver Nuggets can pick him up, which is awfully
(27:38):
nice to them. The Clippers get guard Chris Done. Can
I say his name?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
I've never heard of him? But have you heard of
him Chris Done? I?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
No, there was It was like a tr Don back.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
The Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Are they related?
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Have no idea?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Are all Dons related?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Tr Dun played for the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
He did.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
That's true. Yeah, yeah, I just said that.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I knew him. But I don't know. I wonder if
they're related.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I'll do some research.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Ye, that's great.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Jazz also have a twenty thirty pick swap, and then
they got the rights to this player that Ben refuses.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
To let me say what his name is.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Done is either four point three million dollars also is
going to the Utah Jazz.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
According to the Internet, which we're still getting here. Tr done.
No relation to the other.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
All right, Oh thank god.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Not all dons are the same.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Great load off my mind.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Not all from the same genetic tree, Chris Donn no relation.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Baseball Saint Petersburg City Council approving plans for the Tampa
Bay Raised to get a one point three billion dollar

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Anyway, Now, buddy of.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
My major media guy at he says that his wife
is listening to the show for the first time and
says that you sound like a former NFL coach. Oh wow, yeah,
who Marv Levy, thank you? Sell like Marve Lee who
is still alive. Marv Levy ninety eight. He's gonna turn
(30:29):
ninety nine the day of the Malor Meet and Greet
in Vegas in August.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
See that comparison coming. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Now, Marv worked, I don't think I sound anything like Marvel.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Were you still here when Marv worked here? I was, Yeah,
that was in the early days.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Yeah, very next man.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I sat next to Marv in the famous avocado room
that they have on the Fox lot, and Marley walked.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
By the avocado room. I was never allowed in.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
They made a mistake and let us in one day
and then they realized we're radio people and we never
went back out of here.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
But yeah, we got to hang out with him. Very
nice man, Marv. But that was twenty five, twenty years ago.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Whatever, twenty four years ago, and he looked tremendously old
at him.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Did you see the Joey i'm Alflatano pictures.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Enterine I did, Yes, I can't. I'm fascinated. That's the
most amazing thing I learned today. Not the Internet going
down around the world and flights being stopped and gambling
houses being stopped and money transactions being stopped. No, it's
that Joey Amalfatano, who was an another guy who was
looked really old, really old before he was old, and
(31:32):
he's still alive.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Good for him.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Joey born in nineteen thirty four, nineteen thirty four.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
He looks pretty good, I think. I mean, he was
a coach.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I remember when they got in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Eight was his last year with the Dodgers, so that's
twenty six years ago, and he he looked older than
he was then.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Anyway, it is the Ben mal Show and Marcel.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Would you like to introduce Marcel and Brooklyn the coop
scoop On entertain Ah.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
What an honor?
Speaker 10 (32:01):
Oh yes it is. And I'm so sorry about the
Microsoft Cloud strike outage. For sureol On Entertainment starts now.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Well see yeah, hopefully that outage doesn't affect Marcel in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, media, Maven, Marcel, thank you Marcel.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
All right, well we're going to start off in the
theaters like always, Ben and I want to bring up
a movie that's a couple of weeks old now, but
we haven't had a coop scoop in a little while,
so I'm going to bring it up. It is Maxine,
and this is with multiplexes, yes, triple X Maxine max
right now, yeah X, that's right. It is set in
(32:45):
nineteen eighties Hollywood, and it stars Mi a.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Goth as as an adult film star. Now this is.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
This is actually the third in a series of I
don't know if you want to slashers slash I guess
horrors thrillers, but they're all from director Ty West. And
the first one was back in twenty twenty two called
X and then they kind of went back in time
(33:14):
for a prequel with Pearl and now this is the
most recent one, Maxine, and it kind of wraps up
the entire storyline.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I went and saw it. It's pretty good.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
You should check it out.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Me a Goth is awesome.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
She's like the new Scream Queen in my opinion, and
now moving over to this weekend, we have a movie
that I have been absolutely stoked for Twisters. That is right,
they are. I don't know if it's not really a sequel.
I guess I mean, because it's different characters, but it's
(33:47):
it acknowledges the old one, So it's kind of a
sequel just without any of the characters. But the original
Twister movie back from I think like nineteen ninety seven,
I think or ninety six, it was one of my
face favorite movies as a kid.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Any of the other cast in this one cameo anything.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
I mean, I don't know about a cameo, but they
are not listed. As we know, Bill Paxton unfortunately will
not be right. Yeah, that would be amazing.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (34:17):
Yeah, but I mean who knows these days with Oh wow,
that's true. But yeah, go check that out. Of the
early buzz is the critics like it. It's got a
seventy seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but the audience scorer
is even higher ninety three percent. And I always enjoy
movies where it has a good critics score but then
even better audience scorre. You know, it's it's probably going
(34:39):
to be enjoyable. So moving over to television, we have
a new show on Apple TV Plus and it is
available right now.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
It's called Lady in the Lake.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
It is a limited series and it stars Natalie Portman
as the main character from It's based off the best
selling novel of the same name and it is set
in nineteen sixties Baltimore, where Natalie Portman portrays a Jewish
housewife turned journalist to investigate an unsolved murder of a
(35:10):
young black woman. And then I guess in the in
the limited series, they have a few changes to the story,
like there's a major twist that's not in the book,
but it is in this show. So if you're a
fan or even not, check that out on Apple TV Plus.
And last, but not least, I thought, I just you know,
i'd bring this up because we are on Fox Sports Radio.
There is a documentary on HBO and also HBO Max
(35:35):
nine pm on Wednesday the twenty fourth. It is called
Charlie Hussel and the Matter of Pete Rose. It is
a four part docu series. Well, JT the Brickby and
I don't know. JT hosted a radio show with Pete
Rose for years.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah, he did the Pete Rose had a radio show
and JT did it with at least for a couple
of years, Okay, many years ago.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
Yeah, Okay, who knows, he might he might be then,
but yeah, it examines the career and legacy of Pete
Rose and his lifetime ban from baseball. The first two
parts air on Wednesday, and then the final tube will
air the next day, Thursday of the twenty fifth, all
on HBO, and that is Koop scoop on ergy.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
All right, so this can't be true.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
So I'm trying to get to the bottom of this
internet outage, and what I've discovered so far is there
was a recent update. They updated the cybersecurity firm They're
saying is crowd strike.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
From what I'm reading here, So I don't know. This
has not been confirmed, but I'll just toss this out.
Why not, so take this with a grain of salt.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
But they said they updated the cybersecurity software. This software
is used by forty four of one hundred Fortune one
hundred companies, thirty seven of one hundred top global companies,
nine of twenty major banks, seven of the ten largest
energy institutions.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
They're all out because of this. Apparently so yeah, so
wild times.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
My wife is current in Virginia for a work conference
is supposed to fly home today. She just texted me
she is at the airport and they just announced that
no flights are allowed to travel right now. She is
flying southwest and Southwest said their communications are fine, but
air traffic control communications are down and so everyone is grounded.
Speaker 1 (37:21):

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Everywhere, fellow shareholders, as we preach to the converted coast
to coast border, the mot and beyond on the vast
and euphorically powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from
the hour, the overnight amateur hour now early in the morning.
(01:49):
We're broadcasting live from thee tiraq dot com studios ti
raq dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Well help you get there in.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended in stallers. Frank in La is
wrapping his head around that Frank used to listen overnight.
He listens to the podcast now ti iraq dot com
the way tire buying should be. He became a big
(02:16):
muckety muck at SOFI Stadium in Southern California. So our
lead this hour is from Sinn City.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Are we gonna talk about the summer League? Is this
a Bronny James Malar monologue?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, no, no, no, no, no, it is not.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It is not. Our lead This hour, though, is from Vegas.
The Raids who do not figure to be more than average.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Right, they'll be right there in the middle of several
pitch stops they're gonna have to make because players are
gonna break down. All players get hurt in the NFL,
but the Raiders don't have a lot of depth anyway.
The Raiders do not figure to be very good. That said,
they have found a way to feed the content machine
and for that we are grateful.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
God bless him.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Now, if you have not heard the latest case, you
were busy watching other random things, perhaps you missed it.
Davante Adams wants you and every man, woman and child
to know that he has done research on who the
top receiver is in the NFL, and it is survey.
Says Davante Adams that he's better than Justin Jefferson, Ceedee Lamb,
(03:31):
Jamar Chase, Cooper, Cupp.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And all these other guys.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And he did this on a Fledgling podcast hosted by
Shannon Sharp, saying, quote, if you say the best, and
you probably go Jefferson.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
After that he said, he says he was the best.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And then after that was Jefferson says, over the last
six years, there's only been one person people can't take
out of the top three, and that's me. Yeah, she
pulled the muscle, adding himself on the back. So this
is what I want to talk to you about. The
question on this one. As we ring the bell, DeVante
Adams says that the NFL's top receiver is Davante Adams. Okay,
(04:16):
I'm the top guy ahead of Justin Jefferson, everyone else.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Give me your reaction.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Your reaction on all right, So I've got yoga, kiss
and fun zone, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to take a long nap.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I don't take naps. A lot of people do. I'm
not a nap. I'm jealous of people that can nap.
I wake up from a nap. I'm very groggy.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's not a good situation anyway to kick off the
festivities here. My reaction speaking of grogging, is my reaction
to DeVante Adams saying that he's the top NFL receiver
is a yawn?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Is Davonte Adams loves himself? Some DeVonta Adams good for
him by default? To make it as a professional athlete,
you have to be full of yourself once in a
blue mood? Do you have a professional athlete that actually
has a grasp on reality. In order to succeed, you
have to have strong diva tendencies. I get that going in,
(05:23):
but Adams is chowing down on Bravado buffet. If you will,
all you can eat machismo right now.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Spiler alert, spiler alert. DeVante Adams.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
While he has been very productive, if you play fantasy football,
you know that, you know that.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But DeVante Adams is trending the wrong direction. He's he's
going down, down, down, down, down, down down. And that's
not my opinion, it's a fact that. What's my evidence.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Davonte adams production went sideways. It went the wrong way
last season his second year with the Raiders, his yards
and touch downs. Did a little bit of yoga, a
little hot yoga. They did the downward dog is what
they did. They're compared to his previous three seasons, most
of those in Green Bay. Now keep in mind, you
could argue that the Raiders don't have a quarterback, but
(06:13):
that doesn't really work because we have seen guys that
have played on bad teams that have racked up very
gaudy stat lines. In fact, often if you're on a
bad team, you are in a better position.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
This used to be the argument.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's not so much anymore, because everyone passed even when
they have the lead, but you're in position to fatten
up your stat sheet because you're getting those garbage time yards.
You can be a stat bandito earlier or more effectively,
I should say, in garbage time right now. So keep
in mind also, I always have to put this disclaimer.
DeVante Adams says, hey, I'm the best wide receiver. The
(06:48):
legal definition of the term best, the best is as
good as all the others in that category. So it's
like Devonte Adams. Think of Devonte Adams like a Pepperoni pizza.
He's the world's best Pepperoni pizza. And then a block
over is another Pepperoni pizza, which is also the world's
best because they can say that because they're the best,
(07:08):
and the best means as good as all the rest. Now, furthermore,
we now head to court where should mentioned this story
earlier in the show.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You might have missed it. Raining NFL MVP.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Lamar Jackson Action Jackson, the Man that Met left hundreds
of thousands of dollars on the table because he failed
to show up to a rather easy work assignment. So
Lamar Jackson is challenging the Pro Football Hall of Fame
quarterback Troy He's on TV. Now, this is all about
(07:42):
the use of the number eight, crazy eights. It was
a lawsuit filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office,
not a lawsuit. It was a complaint, which is not
technically a lawsuit. But this is bizarro world, right, bizarre world.
So the burning question, Lamar Jackson and Troy Aikman are
(08:04):
in a fight over number eight. They're wrangling over this
uniform number number eight. Whose side are you on? So
I stand with Troy Aikman. I stand with Aikman. I'm
what I'm doing here, and I don't know much about this.
I just read a few stories about it. But what
I did read and what I was able to soak
(08:25):
in is that I used the kiss method. Keep it simple, stupid,
all right, Troy Aikman war number eight before Lamar Jackson
was even alive.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Okay, So that's the first.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Thing his legal bullpucky from from the whole thing is annoying.
Aikman filed papers, and then Jackson Jackson his lawyers fired
filed papers. But Lamar Jackson's lawyer had the hootzbug all
lawyers at Footsbagh. But to say that Aikman's attempt to
use the number eight on a peril and bags and
(09:01):
overpriced merchandise. You don't need that that would likely cause confusion,
or cause mistake or to deceive that there is deception
by Troy Aikman. He talked about the purchasing public as
to whether or not they were buying products from Lamar
Jackson or Troy Aikman's company. And to that, I would
(09:26):
like to quote the great Jackie Slater number seventy eight,
as he would say, what in the world like oivey like,
seriously tell me you think the people that buy your
products are Schmendricks without telling me you think the people
that buy your products are Schmendricks.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Crazy eights.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Indeed, Troy Aikman is fifty seven years old. He last
played an NFL game almost twenty five years ago. Okay,
and if you were to put Aikman and Lamar jacks
in side by side, would anyone confuse Aikman and Lamar?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I methinks not, but maybe maybe maybe you would. I
don't know. It's crazy craziness all right now.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Last thing I saw this bouncing around and I wanted
to spend a couple of minutes on it. It involves a
an insider football insider for the Athletic that's a pay
website that was purchased by the old gray lady.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
So would you make what do you I guess what
the way I phrase it?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
What do you make of Diana Russini, the NFL insider
complaining publicly recently that there is nothing worse. These are
her wors, nothing worse than NFL aggregators misrepresenting the news,
the news that she reports.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So I saw this, I did a double take.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I thought at first this might be sports Talk Barry
or Babylon Bee or butt crack Sports or something along
those lines. But it turns out it is authentic. It's
not AI. We don't think it's AI. And so I
was racking my brain here, I give this thing stinkye
is what I do? Talk about being overly dramatic? Does
she think she's Walter Kankite here? Like there's one of
(11:12):
the great journalists our time? Here she's gonna win some
kind of journalism award for reporting on which NFL free
agent is gonna go to which team and get bags
of money because the agent.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Told you what's going to come on. I understand you've
got a job to do. I get it.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
But as a forefather of aggregation, the old Benmallard dot Com,
which no longer exists. I stand with the people, the
people who bundle together the stories of the day. That's
who I stand with. It's sensory overload every single f
in day, consuming the sports media and just.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
The media in general.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
It's like being in a fund zone with all these
mirrors and you're on the midway and it's every single sense.
It's overwhelming to your senses. And this maybe an unpopular opinion.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I don't think it is.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Most people get their news from aggregators. Most people get
their news from aggregators. And that's my final opinion.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Are they in the engagement farming business. Yes, but that's
their jobs. That's what they do. Is that bad No,
Because it's for the greater good. It saves you time,
it saves me time in the rat race of life.
It's a one stop shop, a good aggregator and I
did it back in the day myself. A good aggregator
(12:38):
is stockpiling all of the stuff that you want to see,
all the headlines in one place. And that's wonderful and
the most valuable thing that we all have is our time.
We say it regularly. You don't know how much you have.
When it's gone, it's gone. You can't buy more of it,
and that's it. It's finito and so it's very virus.
So if you save some time every day, you're you're
(13:00):
enjoying yourself more because of aggregators. So God bless America
and God bless sports news aggregators.
Speaker 1 (13:09):

Speaker 6 (14:50):
It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
A sports story, but it is a wild story that's
been going on all night. We have not mentioned it
because why would we were doing a sports radio show.
But I want to mention it for a few minutes
because I've got some of my buddies on the East
Coast have been sending me stories in different cities.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
There's a global I'm want to sure I phrased this
the right way.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
There's a worldwide internet outage with Microsoft that has absolutely crippled.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
The airline industry.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
There's a bunch of flights, as I understand it from
what we're reading here, that are not able to take
to the skies. There's problems with communication. There's reports out
of Vegas that the casinos and we have boots on
the ground in Vegas, so maybe somebody can call up
and let us know if this is actually going on.
But the ATMs were all down, have been down most
of the night since the Internet went out. The slot
(15:46):
machines are all on the interweb, they're down.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Did I say exactly what caused it yet?
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
It was something to do now, something with Microsoft.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
There was an issue, some kind of maybe it was hackers,
I don't know, but something involving Microsoft, and like everything's down, wild,
Like you know, this is gonna.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Feed the the conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Dude, everyone does money now with the internet, right, I mean,
how many people have cash?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
That's uh, that's pretty wild. Anyway, that's going on. How
long you think that's gonna last?
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I don't know, hopefully not very long.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Well, I was telling Coop if this had happened while
I was in Hawaii, I'd still be in Hawaii, right
because they can't fly because everything's tied. Although the flight,
the flight I took, they used that Elon Musk Skylink.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
That was the greatest Internet I've ever had on a plane.
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Which is not part of Microsoft, it's its own thing.
But that that Skylink here, used that Skylink Internet.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And so I've never flowen on a flight until this
last couple of weeks. When you fly on a flight
that used the Skylink thing, the Elon Musk thing, you
can be on your phone while the takeoff and landing.
They don't care it doesn't you know, it's usually have
to put your phone away and all.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They don't don't do whatever you want?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Cool?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yes, pretty pretty well? All right, Well, take some calls.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
The NFL season comes around.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
No.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
So now, my friend Bob points out, I'd forgotten about this,
But that whole airplane mode on planes thing. You know,
they don't make you do it on chartered flights. They
own only on commercial flights.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Why is that? Why would probably? But if you fly
a chartered flight. I've flown on a few of them
back in the old days. Many years of this goes back,
many many years. They said, you know what, they didn't say,
go on airplane mode. Did whatever you want. They still
do that.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
But on the flight I took back from Hawaii because
we were on that starlink thing, they said, do whatever
you want, knock yourself out.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
I'm out old Tiger Woods trying to make the cut.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Well, boys, not going too well, and we had a
malar monologue on him earlier. Now the cut is plus three.
Tiger was plus eight started the day. He's now at
plus ten through three holes. He is two over par
with a couple of bogies and one par. So go ahead,
and if you weren't already calling it quits on Tiger
(26:30):
playing on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Good, But I'd say he could get to the airport
and fly back before the round's over.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But I lying anywhere. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
In fact, I just got video here of the Philadelphia airport.
We'd like to say a lot to all we're on
in Philadelphia. All the people listening at the Philadelphia Airport, they're
not handling it very well, Adie.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
There are lines all over. I've been to that air
but there are lines everywhere.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
People they don't know they're yelling. They had these screaming.
There's of course TV cameras there to document everything. That's good,
good times.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Hopefully all the baseball teams have already arrived for their
for their series.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh yeah, they have to get the d before.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
But this thing, if this will not continue more than
a day or two, right, you would.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
Think I would hope, I would hope.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, you're right. To travel by professional teams is also
a factor.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
We had a trade in the NBA. The Clippers and
Jazz involved a sign and trade involving former league MVP
Russell Westbrook. But he's not going from the Clippers to
the Jazz because there's some shenanigans going on behind the
scenes there. Actually, the Jazz are going to buy out
his contract. They're going to put him on waivers so
the Denver Nuggets can pick him up, which is awfully
(27:38):
nice to them. The Clippers get guard Chris Done. Can
I say his name?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
I've never heard of him? But have you heard of
him Chris Done? I?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
No, there was It was like a tr Don back.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
The Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Are they related?
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Have no idea?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Are all Dons related?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Tr Dun played for the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
He did.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
That's true. Yeah, yeah, I just said that.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I knew him. But I don't know. I wonder if
they're related.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I'll do some research.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Ye, that's great.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Jazz also have a twenty thirty pick swap, and then
they got the rights to this player that Ben refuses.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
To let me say what his name is.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Done is either four point three million dollars also is
going to the Utah Jazz.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
According to the Internet, which we're still getting here. Tr done.
No relation to the other.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
All right, Oh thank god.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Not all dons are the same.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Great load off my mind.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Not all from the same genetic tree, Chris Donn no relation.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Baseball Saint Petersburg City Council approving plans for the Tampa
Bay Raised to get a one point three billion dollar

My major media guy at he says that his wife
is listening to the show for the first time and
says that you sound like a former NFL coach. Oh wow, yeah,
who Marv Levy, thank you? Sell like Marve Lee who
is still alive. Marv Levy ninety eight. He's gonna turn
(30:29):
ninety nine the day of the Malor Meet and Greet
in Vegas in August.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
See that comparison coming. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Now, Marv worked, I don't think I sound anything like Marvel.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Were you still here when Marv worked here? I was, Yeah,
that was in the early days.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Yeah, very next man.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I sat next to Marv in the famous avocado room
that they have on the Fox lot, and Marley walked.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
By the avocado room. I was never allowed in.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
They made a mistake and let us in one day
and then they realized we're radio people and we never
went back out of here.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
But yeah, we got to hang out with him. Very
nice man, Marv. But that was twenty five, twenty years ago.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Whatever, twenty four years ago, and he looked tremendously old
at him.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Did you see the Joey i'm Alflatano pictures.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Enterine I did, Yes, I can't. I'm fascinated. That's the
most amazing thing I learned today. Not the Internet going
down around the world and flights being stopped and gambling
houses being stopped and money transactions being stopped. No, it's
that Joey Amalfatano, who was an another guy who was
looked really old, really old before he was old, and
(31:32):
he's still alive.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Good for him.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Joey born in nineteen thirty four, nineteen thirty four.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
He looks pretty good, I think. I mean, he was
a coach.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I remember when they got in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Eight was his last year with the Dodgers, so that's
twenty six years ago, and he he looked older than
he was then.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Anyway, it is the Ben mal Show and Marcel.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Would you like to introduce Marcel and Brooklyn the coop
scoop On entertain Ah.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
What an honor?
Speaker 10 (32:01):
Oh yes it is. And I'm so sorry about the
Microsoft Cloud strike outage. For sureol On Entertainment starts now.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Well see yeah, hopefully that outage doesn't affect Marcel in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, media, Maven, Marcel, thank you Marcel.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
All right, well we're going to start off in the
theaters like always, Ben and I want to bring up
a movie that's a couple of weeks old now, but
we haven't had a coop scoop in a little while,
so I'm going to bring it up. It is Maxine,
and this is with multiplexes, yes, triple X Maxine max
right now, yeah X, that's right. It is set in
(32:45):
nineteen eighties Hollywood, and it stars Mi a.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Goth as as an adult film star. Now this is.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
This is actually the third in a series of I
don't know if you want to slashers slash I guess
horrors thrillers, but they're all from director Ty West. And
the first one was back in twenty twenty two called
X and then they kind of went back in time
(33:14):
for a prequel with Pearl and now this is the
most recent one, Maxine, and it kind of wraps up
the entire storyline.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I went and saw it. It's pretty good.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
You should check it out.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Me a Goth is awesome.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
She's like the new Scream Queen in my opinion, and
now moving over to this weekend, we have a movie
that I have been absolutely stoked for Twisters. That is right,
they are. I don't know if it's not really a sequel.
I guess I mean, because it's different characters, but it's
(33:47):
it acknowledges the old one, So it's kind of a
sequel just without any of the characters. But the original
Twister movie back from I think like nineteen ninety seven,
I think or ninety six, it was one of my
face favorite movies as a kid.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Any of the other cast in this one cameo anything.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
I mean, I don't know about a cameo, but they
are not listed. As we know, Bill Paxton unfortunately will
not be right. Yeah, that would be amazing.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (34:17):
Yeah, but I mean who knows these days with Oh wow,
that's true. But yeah, go check that out. Of the
early buzz is the critics like it. It's got a
seventy seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but the audience scorer
is even higher ninety three percent. And I always enjoy
movies where it has a good critics score but then
even better audience scorre. You know, it's it's probably going
(34:39):
to be enjoyable. So moving over to television, we have
a new show on Apple TV Plus and it is
available right now.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
It's called Lady in the Lake.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
It is a limited series and it stars Natalie Portman
as the main character from It's based off the best
selling novel of the same name and it is set
in nineteen sixties Baltimore, where Natalie Portman portrays a Jewish
housewife turned journalist to investigate an unsolved murder of a
(35:10):
young black woman. And then I guess in the in
the limited series, they have a few changes to the story,
like there's a major twist that's not in the book,
but it is in this show. So if you're a
fan or even not, check that out on Apple TV Plus.
And last, but not least, I thought, I just you know,
i'd bring this up because we are on Fox Sports Radio.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
