Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Bird two and our two is ready to go. Kirk Cousins,
that's a quarterback. Kirk Cousins would have given more consideration
to staying with the Minnesota football team had he known
the Atlanta football team was planning on drafting a quarterback.
How do you dissect this latest wrinkle in the Kirk
(00:26):
Cousins story. Also for Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett struggling with
the Philadelphia Eagles, are you surprised by that? And can
Olympic flag football catch on with the NFL marketing machine
behind them? We'll talk about that as well. It's coming
your way right now. Say hello to my little friend,
(00:48):
our number two. Some hot Cousins talk wel gum. In
the beginning of another hour the Ben Maler Show. We
are in the air everywhere as we babble and no
the common sense. It's kind of like the ordorant that
(01:09):
people who need it most never seem to use it.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Hour from football. Why are we going to football?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Why?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Because we go where the news of the day, Texas
below the Mason Dixon Line. This hour authentic optimism in
the State of Georgia. The long suffering Falcons have champagne
wishes and those caviar dreams. This upcoming season, they think
they're actually gonna be good. It's all because of the
(02:20):
big roster shakeup that took place over the last couple
of months, a combo dish of a draft picks and
free agent additions and a few trades as well, and
you put it all together, you crunch the numbers, and
they're feeling pretty good, feeling pretty good. So the biggest
pickup is said to be annoyed, though with the dirty
(02:43):
birds not happy. An angry bird would be the way
we described this, So we didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We're hearing that Kirk Cousins, that's my quarterback. Kirk Cousins
would have given more consideration, according to the breathless reporting,
to staying in the Twin Cities with Eke and Roseville,
Minnesota and all the boys there, Robin Minnesota, all the
guys there, had he known that Atlanta would draft a
(03:12):
first round quarterback as they did Michael Pennox junior from Washington.
He's a Husky and he was added back in the
April draft, much to the chagrin of Kirk Cousins, who
was blindsided by that particular move.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So again, that's the story. Let's get into it.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Let us discuss the question kirk Cousins preferring to stay
with the Vikings had he known the Falcons were planning
on drafting a first round quarterback. How do you dissect
this latest wrinkle in the drama al rama of the NFL.
So I've got Pyung Yang, Icy Hot and windmill, and
(03:54):
we will combine all of these things together and we
will give you a sten ovation, which is what Freddie
Freeman got when he returned to the Dodger lineup. So
num Burn, Yeah, we are the word is. It's a
d word, dubious. We are dubious of this report because
(04:16):
the way I look at these stories are like revisionist history,
which is the greatest kind of history, because you're never wrong.
You have no way to prove or disprove. There's no
way to do it. Like Kirk Cousins being unhappy and
wishing he was in Minnesota, you could say that, but
(04:37):
the Vikings also drafted a quarterback, so I find it
hard to believe that he'd rather be in a similar
situation in Minnesota without the mega million's contract that he
got from Atlanta. There's a lot of hypothetical it's a
lot of moving parts.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But here's what I do know.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
From years of gas baggery, from many many hours of
being a blowhard on the radio, I know that Kirk Cousins,
like so many others, but he's done it better than
everyone else. Kirk Cousins is a mercenary. He's a pig
skin mercenary, and there's no ifs, hands or butts about that.
I will die on that hill that is Kirk Cousins.
(05:19):
It's cut and dried.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
We all know it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And he's always been the guy that will go to
the highest bidder. And so the joke has always been
with guys like this, Well, if they put an expansion
team in Pyongyang, suddenly he would be saying, you know,
North Korea, not that bad, you know, not that bad.
They got a dome, it's pretty good. People are in shape.
They don't eat a lot of food because they don't
(05:42):
have a lot of food. Because they don't get a
lot of food. He'd go to Afghanistan wherever. You'd be like,
all right, it's not that bad.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I got the money and cousins. He got the bag,
he got the bonanza in Georgia. He's thirty six years old.
Think about this, the guy got paid thirty six years old,
coming off a crippling injury. He got one hundred million guaranteed.
The Achilles tendon look like shredded chicken by the time
(06:10):
he got done with that. And that's a pretty pretty
good consolation prize, methinks. All right now, Page two Former Steelers.
Former Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett popped up on our radar.
Why because he has sucked at a time you cannot suck,
(06:30):
And that would be in camp with the Philadelphia Eagles.
One of the quarterbacks changing teams this offseason.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Are you.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Surprised?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Are you surprised that former Steeler quarterback Kenny Pickett has
been a big bag of suck in training camp those
that are out there, So I'm shaking my head no
on this, I'm shaking my head no. Because Kenny Pickett.
If you go back to his tiny hands at the draft,
Kenny Pickett was a guy who overdrafted by the Steelers.
(07:02):
They got a little carried away, got a little too
excited in the moment. They black and yellow, black and yellow.
They needed to get somebody to be the quarterback of
the future to replace Ben Roethlisberger. So they pulled the
back muscle drafting Kenny Pickett. Get out the icy hot
and rub it all over. And you know it's local,
(07:25):
not local guys. But he went to college at pit
so he's from the area there, played in the same stadium.
Very spotty quarterback at Pitt. There were some big games
for Kenny Pickett. There was a lot of mediocre games,
as I remember, and he really put it all together
if you want to say that as a one hit wonder,
not elite. You know, the scouting report which not always right.
(07:49):
Sometimes they completely f up the scouting report. But the
scouting report, one of them said that he was a
poor man's Derek Carr. And that's about right. Derek Carr's
not that good and Kenny Pickett's not that good. So
perfect and he's worse than Derek Carr. So sure, why
not a lot of inconsistencies, shall we say?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It is early as training camp, and he'll get an
opportunity in these exhibition games and all that. However, unless
the Eagles can make a special cheese steak with the provolone,
the grilled onions, the bell pepper and throwing some pixie
dust on top, this is a guy that is destined
to end up playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers or
bounce around the back rails of the boondocks of the NFL.
(08:33):
The Hobo Express that that's the type of career that
Kenny Pickett's likely to have as well. He can come
out through five touchdown passes and the Eagles first exhibition game,
well maybe he will.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Doesn't change the story all right?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now, final point, speaking of the birds, we got falcons,
we got eagles.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Where are we going now?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Well, kind of a story involving the Eagles and he's played.
So the NFL propaganda arm released a sizzle reel video
featuring Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and it was from the
Los Angeles Memorial Colisseum we used to call it the
Mausoleum back in the day. And he's throwing a flaming football.
(09:18):
That's what it says, flaming football to light the Colosseum torch,
the iconic Colisseum torch. And the announcement is made to
up the twenty twenty eight Los Angeles Olympics will feature
men's and women's flag football for the first time ever.
(09:38):
So here's my question for the class, and feel free
to answer this if you'd like. Can Olympic flag football
catch on and become a viral sensation of the pigskin
loving nation because of NFL marketing? The machine the NFL
(09:59):
marketing is so I'm gonna go first, and as they
said in a very popular TV show back in the day,
that's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
A no for me. Dog.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
That would be a no from a liability standpoint. I
know for a fact because I've heard it from people
that work in that business. The NFL would love to
wake up one morning and have the same number of
television viewers, the same fan engagement without tackling and playing
(10:27):
flag football.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
They would absolutely love it. That would be orgasmic for the.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
People that weren't there because it's downstream liability. Talk about
that a lot, and they're worried about the liability from
players getting hurt and getting mangled playing tackle football, and
so from that standpoint, the lawyers are like, you gotta
do is everything you can. That's why we don't have
the kickoffs anymore in football because the NFL is trying
to avoid concussion lawsuits and they know that there'll be
(10:54):
another one and another one and another one. But no matter,
the marketing mavens at the end of it, and the
NFL's got a lot of money. They spend a ton
of money on commercials, on radio shows like this and
TV shows and God bless them and all that, but
no matter that, the sensory.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Overload that we're all going to get, it's faux football.
It's what it is. That's what it's faux football. Right.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
It's like if you're a golf fan and you love
the majors, like I'm a casual golf I'm not a
hardcore golf fan, but we watch the majors. I'll check
them out. Like I said, well, you're a casual golf fan,
you like the majors. So what I'm gonna do for you?
You're gonna love this. I am going to set you
up because you're a golf fan. I know you like
the Masters, that's your favorite tournament. So we're gonna have
a putt putt golf. Addition, we're gonna say same professional golfers,
(11:42):
putt putt golf, and you what will you do? You'd
puke in your mouth, and rightfully, so you'd puke in
your mouth, and that's what should happen. Watch out for
that windmill on the fourth hole. It's very difficult, that windmill,
very tough. Olympic flag football.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Will be a novelty act. That'd be a novelty act.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, it's a trial run and all that. It'll go
about as well as three on three basketball, although you
could argue that three on three basketball is much closer
to realistic basketball than the flag football, comparing it to
tackle football. It would take minimum forty years for that
(12:24):
to catch on, because that would be two generations of generations,
about twenty years, give or take twenty to twenty five,
so maybe even fifty years until something like that were
to catch on. It is the Ben Malard Show. If

about Kirk Cousins, but it's not like he's gone to
six teams.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
For the money.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Believe he would rather be a Viking and throw to

so there you go. Because you're in Minnesota, of course
you're gonna say that.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Rica Milkman, Mike and Colorado says a great second hour monologue,
Chicken tender Cousins is just trying to save face, even
though with his salary it's almost inconceivable that he will
not start. As for the Olympics, I think we should
get frisbee golf and lawn darts. Say yeah, lawn darts
(15:16):
would be great. King Rory writes, since is maybe if
Team USA has a bunch of big name former NFL
players to represent the flag football team. I don't see
the ratings or interest really all that high.

Yeah's not.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's not gonna be Robbie the Mariner fan who's actually
Robby the Falcon Fanta says, I still can't figure out
why the Falcons drafted Michael Pennix junior. He isn't a
generational quarterback. It was a waste of a valuable pick.
Hopefully this gets a freezing cold take one day. I
doubt it, though, Yeah, probably not. Let's go to the phones. Phillmore,
(15:54):

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Right? What man? I got a question for you. What listen, honestly,
what is two fourteen? Right? Two fourteen? Is that the
weight of a high school basketball football player? Why are
batters hitting two fourteen and they're they're just they're just happy,
they're just in an All star game? What the heck

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Well, Philmomon, we're gonna keep it real here at Phillmore, Mike,
the nerds took over. They don't pay for batting average.
There's one guy, Luisa Rise and the Padres that hits
for batting average. Everyone else is trying to hit the
ball of the moon because.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
They get paid. You don't get paid if you bad.
If you batted three.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Thirty fifteen home runs, you would not make as much
money as a guy batting two twenty with twenty five
home runs.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You wouldn't You wouldn't get paid as much.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
So like what bit, let me ask you this? Though

hour we get your name on the air. There, let's
have some fun.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
All right, fun fact of the hour from the Bay
Area where the San Francisco Higantes played their baseball And
Matt Chapman, who sounds like he's a baseball player in
like the nineteen twenties, Matt Chapman became the eighty first
player to hit a home run against all thirty Big
(24:58):
League teams. He's the eighty first one to do a
eighty first player to do it. He did it against
Washington in the game that was played on Monday night,
thirty inning Blast. And so Chapman joins Marcel Ozuna, Gean
Carlos Stanton, Freddie Freeman, and Jamir Candelario as the players
who are currently playing to get it done. So that's
(25:21):
your that's your fun fact right there. We're gonna have
Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Let's say hello, lo to Poppy in San Diego.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
And I give Poppy credit because I bust Poppy's chops
all the time and he still stays on holding no
matter what.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Hello Poppy, welcome.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Hey, thanks, I appreciate it. Ben Mallor And uh, you
know what I was gonna ask you, like, I need
help from the Mallor militia.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know, how can we help you? How can we
help you Poppy?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Well, well, you know, thinking with Poppy versus account unpunctuately,
we haven't heard nothing from the cat, so I'm asking
everyone to match.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
So we have a.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
For a cat.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Okay, no, we need Yeah, Poppy wants to do a bit.
The football season is about it month away. We had
a guy whose pussy cat was really good at picking games,
he said, and so we were trying to secure the
pussy cat, but unfortunately we could not get the cat.
So the feeline is not available. So now would you
be willing to go against it? Would you go against
a turtle Poppy? How about a turtle Poppy versus the turtle.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Well, there's a turtle.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, is there any animal?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You will not go against an animal anything, anything in
the animal kingdom will do. So we're going we were
gonna do Poppy versus the chicken, Poppy and the chicken.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But but you then you did your own thing on
some social media channel.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Well, we can bring the chicken back. If there's a chicken.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
We have a lot of farmers that listen to the show,
so there's plenty of chickens available. But I think we
were beyond a chicken. I think we were beyond poultry.
We moved me to move on.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I have an idea. Ben yesterday you actually had a
collar and he said it works with pigs.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
What about Pop taking with Poppy versus the pig? Okay,
I'm down with that.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'd be fine, But we have to get somebody who's
committed to being part of the big that is willing
to do it, and then we'll pick one game. We'll
just do one game every weekend. I like Poppy versus
the pig, and yeah, that would.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Work a lot of peas.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Anyone in the mount of Militia that you know has
an animal and committed. We need someone that's a mount
of This.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Is very important.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Poppy wants his own bid on the show, and maybe
we'll turn this into a TV show if it goes well.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Poppy versus the pig.
Speaker 9 (27:41):
How about Poppy versus the fake dog the imaginer.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, that was a great idea. Will it's the dog, Poppy
versus Will it's the dog.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
I agree that the fake dog. We know there's no dog.
I really I agree. That's a great to be you, Eddie,
of course. And then I was going to say, because
people want to hear a pig from me, I have
a freak for you guys.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Oh free pick you guys.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
We don't have to pay for you, nor your charge
is if your charge of picks, the Better Business Bureau
is going to contact you.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
And this is a good game. Look it's baseball. I'm
gonna take you to the city.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Let me yes, the Padres No, no.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Not Whites, the Oakland against the Chicago.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
White Oh no, is he gonna Is he about to
end the White Sox winning losing?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
What is he gonna do?
Speaker 11 (28:27):
Here?
Speaker 6 (28:28):
We go?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Look? Look, this is a this is a thing that matter.
Look Oakland's are really good. They want one game out
to again, really good. We beat we beat uh you know.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
I don't. I don't want Bobby to ruin our fund
with White Sox Poppy.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
We're enjoying the misery of White Sox baseball. We do
not want you to call up these airwaves and to
pick the A's to win, which would guarantee the White
Sox then win.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
We don't want that. So we're good. We don't need
We're good. We don't need that. Okay, just move on.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
So the honest coach, if youzie the last honest coach, well,
that would be the Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz.
As he addressed the media on Monday, he stepped up
to a hot mic and told the assembled Cleveland media, Okay,
what can I be vague and non committal about today?
(29:29):
And then opened it up the questions. And that is
what every single coach in the bloody NFL does. Even
Ozzie was hanging out with kangaroos in Western Australia, knows that.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
That's the move. That's the go to move. Right there.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
A Rob is the winner of the malord palooza. I
gotta get him on right away because he's the big winner.
Hello Rob in Florida, what's up? Rob?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Congratulations on your win.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
I really appreciate it and all the male in relationship.
So I don't know if you would be up for it,
but would you ever consider next year, you know, coming
down to the three two one in the Space Coast
for a Mallard meet and Greek. I have some connections
with a hotel that I used to work. Excuse me, wow,
(30:21):
I'm just getting to work.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You're all choked up here.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I tell you what.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
It's Lorraina that shows me up.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
And Lorena.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
I really appreciate you playing so a song, playing some
of the songs that I sent you to play for Rejoins.
So yes, I'm a whole chook hook. Anyway, would you
ever consider coming down to Florida for a Mallard meeting?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Greek?
Speaker 6 (30:44):
I used to work at a hotel which is the
Coreyard by Marriott and Cocoa Beach, which is right on
the beach about a two hundred foot walk. There's a
lot of great places to eat in the Space Coast
and you might even have a chance for a rocket launch.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Tom Done. I want to go as many place as
I can and meet the people. Listen to this show,
so I'd be down with it. We you know, Eddie's
a tough sell.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I don't think it.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Coop's a tough sell unless there's a casino. I don't
think Eddie will go or Coop will go unless you's poker,
so that probably.
Speaker 11 (31:14):
Won't that's not true. I'm not a tough sell at all.
If the airfare is paid for, I will go anywhere. Well,
he didn't say air force, a hotel.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
I know.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
I'm just I'm just throwing I'm not saying by him.
I'm just saying, you know, throwing it out there.
Speaker 10 (31:27):
I think one of our tax professional listeners, because I'm
sure there's a handful of them, would love to give
us advice on how to write off our expenses for
these roughly Mallard meet and greets.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Well, yeah, I have Yeah, I haven't you do that.
I mean that's what you to do. Yeah, it's a
business expense. I mean the company didn't pay for us
to go there. I think the rain, she's she really
had a good time and rain, right, I think you'd
love to do it.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
And I really want to take a vote on where
we should go and meet next. And I don't think
it needs to be a year from now, because what
can happen by then?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
WHOA, what do you get that?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Way?
Speaker 11 (31:56):
Ray?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
What are you saying?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
There?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Are you leaving? Are you gone? You out of here? Wow?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I think she's I think she just announced she's leaving.
She's gonna pull an Iowa Sam on us there and
take off.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
I'm just saying that.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
I just think then Iowa Sam is gone and you
just picked up an affiliate in Iowa.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
How fitting that?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yes, that's true. That's right.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
We got his listening audience and he's gone.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I know, but no, all right, no listen, I will Rob,
thank you. We'll consider it.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
The hotel things obviously huge because that's a big cost
when you travel and the company doesn't pay for your travel.
So yes, thank you, Brobel. We'll put that into the
consideration basket. It is the Ben Maler Show. Time now

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Who you do not know? Saan Rafaela of the Red Sox.
Bad job by you.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Here we got here, we go, here, we go.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
To the third.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
This is one gets grip.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Bucks.
Speaker 11 (35:50):
Linebacker Levonte David said in a recent podcast appearance that
he hopes an eighteen game regular season doesn't happen, or
at least that he's retired by the time it does. Now, Ben,
we all know that he is going to happen. Yea,
My question is how many games do you think it
eventually max is out at?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
So the sweet spot in the next couple generations is
twenty games. They'll get rid of the exhibition games. There'll
be no exhibition games. That gets rid of two weeks
of exhibition football. They'll they're going to go to two
by weeks. When they get to eighteen games, they're gonna
have to add either three or four bye weeks when
they get to twenty games.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Wait, Fred Dreyer, he was in here. He told me
to my face.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I think he even said it on the air when
he was playing in the NFL in the nineteen seventies
early eighties, the NFL wanted to get to twenty games
back then, all right?
Speaker 11 (36:32):
Next, with the White Sox now tying an American League
record with twenty one straight losses, summer wondering why the
team hasn't put Pedro Griffell out of his misery?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah, Ben, is he gonna last the season?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, it's a sinking shit? Why not? Why would you
fire him at this point? What are you trying? What
are you exactly trying to?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
If they wanted to actually avoid this, they should have
done it months ago. They've sucked the entire season. They're
twenty games win every other team in the American League.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Next.
Speaker 11 (36:58):
Over the weekend, USA rugby player Alona mar joked that
Tom Brady asked to take a selfie with her. Now,
been in your career, who've you been most surprised to learn?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
As a fan of yours.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Well, I'm shocked by everyone recently. Kevin Harlan, the play
by play guy for CBS. I ran in him at
the Super Bowl and I thought he was full of crap,
But he actually listened to the show.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
That was a shocker.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
My friend Chuck Sworsky, the Bulls announcer, told me that
bj Armstrong and some of the guys on the Bulls
back and they were fans of some of the stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
So that shocked me.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
How we don't kopol out you pass us edition there
you got put on the bar.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Whoo.
Hello and welcome. It's our numb.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Bird two and our two is ready to go. Kirk Cousins,
that's a quarterback. Kirk Cousins would have given more consideration
to staying with the Minnesota football team had he known
the Atlanta football team was planning on drafting a quarterback.
How do you dissect this latest wrinkle in the Kirk
(00:26):
Cousins story. Also for Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett struggling with
the Philadelphia Eagles, are you surprised by that? And can
Olympic flag football catch on with the NFL marketing machine
behind them? We'll talk about that as well. It's coming
your way right now. Say hello to my little friend,
(00:48):
our number two. Some hot Cousins talk wel gum. In
the beginning of another hour the Ben Maler Show. We
are in the air everywhere as we babble and no
the common sense. It's kind of like the ordorant that

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Hour from football. Why are we going to football?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Why?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Because we go where the news of the day, Texas
below the Mason Dixon Line. This hour authentic optimism in
the State of Georgia. The long suffering Falcons have champagne
wishes and those caviar dreams. This upcoming season, they think
they're actually gonna be good. It's all because of the
(02:20):
big roster shakeup that took place over the last couple
of months, a combo dish of a draft picks and
free agent additions and a few trades as well, and
you put it all together, you crunch the numbers, and
they're feeling pretty good, feeling pretty good. So the biggest
pickup is said to be annoyed, though with the dirty
(02:43):
birds not happy. An angry bird would be the way
we described this, So we didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We're hearing that Kirk Cousins, that's my quarterback. Kirk Cousins
would have given more consideration, according to the breathless reporting,
to staying in the Twin Cities with Eke and Roseville,
Minnesota and all the boys there, Robin Minnesota, all the
guys there, had he known that Atlanta would draft a
(03:12):
first round quarterback as they did Michael Pennox junior from Washington.
He's a Husky and he was added back in the
April draft, much to the chagrin of Kirk Cousins, who
was blindsided by that particular move.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So again, that's the story. Let's get into it.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Let us discuss the question kirk Cousins preferring to stay
with the Vikings had he known the Falcons were planning
on drafting a first round quarterback. How do you dissect
this latest wrinkle in the drama al rama of the NFL.
So I've got Pyung Yang, Icy Hot and windmill, and
(03:54):
we will combine all of these things together and we
will give you a sten ovation, which is what Freddie
Freeman got when he returned to the Dodger lineup. So
num Burn, Yeah, we are the word is. It's a
d word, dubious. We are dubious of this report because
(04:16):
the way I look at these stories are like revisionist history,
which is the greatest kind of history, because you're never wrong.
You have no way to prove or disprove. There's no
way to do it. Like Kirk Cousins being unhappy and
wishing he was in Minnesota, you could say that, but
(04:37):
the Vikings also drafted a quarterback, so I find it
hard to believe that he'd rather be in a similar
situation in Minnesota without the mega million's contract that he
got from Atlanta. There's a lot of hypothetical it's a
lot of moving parts.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But here's what I do know.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
From years of gas baggery, from many many hours of
being a blowhard on the radio, I know that Kirk Cousins,
like so many others, but he's done it better than
everyone else. Kirk Cousins is a mercenary. He's a pig
skin mercenary, and there's no ifs, hands or butts about that.
I will die on that hill that is Kirk Cousins.
(05:19):
It's cut and dried.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
We all know it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And he's always been the guy that will go to
the highest bidder. And so the joke has always been
with guys like this, Well, if they put an expansion
team in Pyongyang, suddenly he would be saying, you know,
North Korea, not that bad, you know, not that bad.
They got a dome, it's pretty good. People are in shape.
They don't eat a lot of food because they don't
(05:42):
have a lot of food. Because they don't get a
lot of food. He'd go to Afghanistan wherever. You'd be like,
all right, it's not that bad.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I got the money and cousins. He got the bag,
he got the bonanza in Georgia. He's thirty six years old.
Think about this, the guy got paid thirty six years old,
coming off a crippling injury. He got one hundred million guaranteed.
The Achilles tendon look like shredded chicken by the time
(06:10):
he got done with that. And that's a pretty pretty
good consolation prize, methinks. All right now, Page two Former Steelers.
Former Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett popped up on our radar.
Why because he has sucked at a time you cannot suck,
(06:30):
And that would be in camp with the Philadelphia Eagles.
One of the quarterbacks changing teams this offseason.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Are you.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Surprised?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Are you surprised that former Steeler quarterback Kenny Pickett has
been a big bag of suck in training camp those
that are out there, So I'm shaking my head no
on this, I'm shaking my head no. Because Kenny Pickett.
If you go back to his tiny hands at the draft,
Kenny Pickett was a guy who overdrafted by the Steelers.
(07:02):
They got a little carried away, got a little too
excited in the moment. They black and yellow, black and yellow.
They needed to get somebody to be the quarterback of
the future to replace Ben Roethlisberger. So they pulled the
back muscle drafting Kenny Pickett. Get out the icy hot
and rub it all over. And you know it's local,
(07:25):
not local guys. But he went to college at pit
so he's from the area there, played in the same stadium.
Very spotty quarterback at Pitt. There were some big games
for Kenny Pickett. There was a lot of mediocre games,
as I remember, and he really put it all together
if you want to say that as a one hit wonder,
not elite. You know, the scouting report which not always right.
(07:49):
Sometimes they completely f up the scouting report. But the
scouting report, one of them said that he was a
poor man's Derek Carr. And that's about right. Derek Carr's
not that good and Kenny Pickett's not that good. So
perfect and he's worse than Derek Carr. So sure, why
not a lot of inconsistencies, shall we say?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It is early as training camp, and he'll get an
opportunity in these exhibition games and all that. However, unless
the Eagles can make a special cheese steak with the provolone,
the grilled onions, the bell pepper and throwing some pixie
dust on top, this is a guy that is destined
to end up playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers or
bounce around the back rails of the boondocks of the NFL.
(08:33):
The Hobo Express that that's the type of career that
Kenny Pickett's likely to have as well. He can come
out through five touchdown passes and the Eagles first exhibition game,
well maybe he will.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Doesn't change the story all right?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now, final point, speaking of the birds, we got falcons,
we got eagles.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Where are we going now?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Well, kind of a story involving the Eagles and he's played.
So the NFL propaganda arm released a sizzle reel video
featuring Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and it was from the
Los Angeles Memorial Colisseum we used to call it the
Mausoleum back in the day. And he's throwing a flaming football.
(09:18):
That's what it says, flaming football to light the Colosseum torch,
the iconic Colisseum torch. And the announcement is made to
up the twenty twenty eight Los Angeles Olympics will feature
men's and women's flag football for the first time ever.
(09:38):
So here's my question for the class, and feel free
to answer this if you'd like. Can Olympic flag football
catch on and become a viral sensation of the pigskin
loving nation because of NFL marketing? The machine the NFL
(09:59):
marketing is so I'm gonna go first, and as they
said in a very popular TV show back in the day,
that's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
A no for me. Dog.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
That would be a no from a liability standpoint. I
know for a fact because I've heard it from people
that work in that business. The NFL would love to
wake up one morning and have the same number of
television viewers, the same fan engagement without tackling and playing
(10:27):
flag football.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
They would absolutely love it. That would be orgasmic for the.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
People that weren't there because it's downstream liability. Talk about
that a lot, and they're worried about the liability from
players getting hurt and getting mangled playing tackle football, and
so from that standpoint, the lawyers are like, you gotta
do is everything you can. That's why we don't have
the kickoffs anymore in football because the NFL is trying
to avoid concussion lawsuits and they know that there'll be
(10:54):
another one and another one and another one. But no matter,
the marketing mavens at the end of it, and the
NFL's got a lot of money. They spend a ton
of money on commercials, on radio shows like this and
TV shows and God bless them and all that, but
no matter that, the sensory.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Overload that we're all going to get, it's faux football.
It's what it is. That's what it's faux football. Right.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
It's like if you're a golf fan and you love
the majors, like I'm a casual golf I'm not a
hardcore golf fan, but we watch the majors. I'll check
them out. Like I said, well, you're a casual golf fan,
you like the majors. So what I'm gonna do for you?
You're gonna love this. I am going to set you
up because you're a golf fan. I know you like
the Masters, that's your favorite tournament. So we're gonna have
a putt putt golf. Addition, we're gonna say same professional golfers,
(11:42):
putt putt golf, and you what will you do? You'd
puke in your mouth, and rightfully, so you'd puke in
your mouth, and that's what should happen. Watch out for
that windmill on the fourth hole. It's very difficult, that windmill,
very tough. Olympic flag football.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Will be a novelty act. That'd be a novelty act.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, it's a trial run and all that. It'll go
about as well as three on three basketball, although you
could argue that three on three basketball is much closer
to realistic basketball than the flag football, comparing it to
tackle football. It would take minimum forty years for that
(12:24):
to catch on, because that would be two generations of generations,
about twenty years, give or take twenty to twenty five,
so maybe even fifty years until something like that were
to catch on. It is the Ben Malard Show. If

Rica Milkman, Mike and Colorado says a great second hour monologue,
Chicken tender Cousins is just trying to save face, even
though with his salary it's almost inconceivable that he will
not start. As for the Olympics, I think we should
get frisbee golf and lawn darts. Say yeah, lawn darts
(15:16):
would be great. King Rory writes, since is maybe if
Team USA has a bunch of big name former NFL
players to represent the flag football team. I don't see
the ratings or interest really all that high.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah's not.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's not gonna be Robbie the Mariner fan who's actually
Robby the Falcon Fanta says, I still can't figure out
why the Falcons drafted Michael Pennix junior. He isn't a
generational quarterback. It was a waste of a valuable pick.
Hopefully this gets a freezing cold take one day. I
doubt it, though, Yeah, probably not. Let's go to the phones. Phillmore,

ball of the moon because.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
They get paid. You don't get paid if you bad.
If you batted three.

Thirty fifteen home runs, you would not make as much
money as a guy batting two twenty with twenty five
home runs.

Area where the San Francisco Higantes played their baseball And
Matt Chapman, who sounds like he's a baseball player in
like the nineteen twenties, Matt Chapman became the eighty first
player to hit a home run against all thirty Big
(24:58):
League teams. He's the eighty first one to do a
eighty first player to do it. He did it against
Washington in the game that was played on Monday night,
thirty inning Blast. And so Chapman joins Marcel Ozuna, Gean
Carlos Stanton, Freddie Freeman, and Jamir Candelario as the players
who are currently playing to get it done. So that's
(25:21):
your that's your fun fact right there. We're gonna have
Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Let's say hello, lo to Poppy in San Diego.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
And I give Poppy credit because I bust Poppy's chops
all the time and he still stays on holding no
matter what.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Hello Poppy, welcome.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Hey, thanks, I appreciate it. Ben Mallor And uh, you
know what I was gonna ask you, like, I need
help from the Mallor militia.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know, how can we help you? How can we
help you Poppy?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Well, well, you know, thinking with Poppy versus account unpunctuately,
we haven't heard nothing from the cat, so I'm asking
everyone to match.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
So we have a.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
For a cat.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Okay, no, we need Yeah, Poppy wants to do a bit.
The football season is about it month away. We had
a guy whose pussy cat was really good at picking games,
he said, and so we were trying to secure the
pussy cat, but unfortunately we could not get the cat.
So the feeline is not available. So now would you
be willing to go against it? Would you go against
a turtle Poppy? How about a turtle Poppy versus the turtle.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Well, there's a turtle.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, is there any animal?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You will not go against an animal anything, anything in
the animal kingdom will do. So we're going we were
gonna do Poppy versus the chicken, Poppy and the chicken.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But but you then you did your own thing on
some social media channel.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Well, we can bring the chicken back. If there's a chicken.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
We have a lot of farmers that listen to the show,
so there's plenty of chickens available. But I think we
were beyond a chicken. I think we were beyond poultry.
We moved me to move on.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I have an idea. Ben yesterday you actually had a
collar and he said it works with pigs.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
What about Pop taking with Poppy versus the pig? Okay,
I'm down with that.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'd be fine, But we have to get somebody who's
committed to being part of the big that is willing
to do it, and then we'll pick one game. We'll
just do one game every weekend. I like Poppy versus
the pig, and yeah, that would.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Work a lot of peas.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Anyone in the mount of Militia that you know has
an animal and committed. We need someone that's a mount
of This.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Is very important.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Poppy wants his own bid on the show, and maybe
we'll turn this into a TV show if it goes well.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Poppy versus the pig.
Speaker 9 (27:41):
How about Poppy versus the fake dog the imaginer.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, that was a great idea. Will it's the dog, Poppy
versus Will it's the dog.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
I agree that the fake dog. We know there's no dog.
I really I agree. That's a great to be you, Eddie,
of course. And then I was going to say, because
people want to hear a pig from me, I have
a freak for you guys.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Oh free pick you guys.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
We don't have to pay for you, nor your charge
is if your charge of picks, the Better Business Bureau
is going to contact you.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
And this is a good game. Look it's baseball. I'm
gonna take you to the city.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Let me yes, the Padres No, no.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Not Whites, the Oakland against the Chicago.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
White Oh no, is he gonna Is he about to
end the White Sox winning losing?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
What is he gonna do?
Speaker 11 (28:27):
Here?
Speaker 6 (28:28):
We go?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Look? Look, this is a this is a thing that matter.
Look Oakland's are really good. They want one game out
to again, really good. We beat we beat uh you know.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
I don't. I don't want Bobby to ruin our fund
with White Sox Poppy.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
We're enjoying the misery of White Sox baseball. We do
not want you to call up these airwaves and to
pick the A's to win, which would guarantee the White
Sox then win.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
We don't want that. So we're good. We don't need
We're good. We don't need that. Okay, just move on.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
So the honest coach, if youzie the last honest coach, well,
that would be the Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz.
As he addressed the media on Monday, he stepped up
to a hot mic and told the assembled Cleveland media, Okay,
what can I be vague and non committal about today?
(29:29):
And then opened it up the questions. And that is
what every single coach in the bloody NFL does. Even
Ozzie was hanging out with kangaroos in Western Australia, knows that.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
That's the move. That's the go to move. Right there.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
A Rob is the winner of the malord palooza. I
gotta get him on right away because he's the big winner.
Hello Rob in Florida, what's up? Rob?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Congratulations on your win.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
I really appreciate it and all the male in relationship.
So I don't know if you would be up for it,
but would you ever consider next year, you know, coming
down to the three two one in the Space Coast
for a Mallard meet and Greek. I have some connections
with a hotel that I used to work. Excuse me, wow,
(30:21):
I'm just getting to work.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You're all choked up here.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I tell you what.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
It's Lorraina that shows me up.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
And Lorena.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
I really appreciate you playing so a song, playing some
of the songs that I sent you to play for Rejoins.
So yes, I'm a whole chook hook. Anyway, would you
ever consider coming down to Florida for a Mallard meeting?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Greek?
Speaker 6 (30:44):
I used to work at a hotel which is the
Coreyard by Marriott and Cocoa Beach, which is right on
the beach about a two hundred foot walk. There's a
lot of great places to eat in the Space Coast
and you might even have a chance for a rocket launch.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Tom Done. I want to go as many place as
I can and meet the people. Listen to this show,
so I'd be down with it. We you know, Eddie's
a tough sell.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I don't think it.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Coop's a tough sell unless there's a casino. I don't
think Eddie will go or Coop will go unless you's poker,
so that probably.
Speaker 11 (31:14):
Won't that's not true. I'm not a tough sell at all.
If the airfare is paid for, I will go anywhere. Well,
he didn't say air force, a hotel.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
I know.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
I'm just I'm just throwing I'm not saying by him.
I'm just saying, you know, throwing it out there.
Speaker 10 (31:27):
I think one of our tax professional listeners, because I'm
sure there's a handful of them, would love to give
us advice on how to write off our expenses for
these roughly Mallard meet and greets.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Well, yeah, I have Yeah, I haven't you do that.
I mean that's what you to do. Yeah, it's a
business expense. I mean the company didn't pay for us
to go there. I think the rain, she's she really
had a good time and rain, right, I think you'd
love to do it.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
And I really want to take a vote on where
we should go and meet next. And I don't think
it needs to be a year from now, because what
can happen by then?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
WHOA, what do you get that?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Way?
Speaker 11 (31:56):
Ray?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
What are you saying?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
There?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Are you leaving? Are you gone? You out of here? Wow?

Speaker 11 (35:50):
Linebacker Levonte David said in a recent podcast appearance that
he hopes an eighteen game regular season doesn't happen, or
at least that he's retired by the time it does. Now, Ben,
we all know that he is going to happen. Yea,
My question is how many games do you think it
eventually max is out at?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
So the sweet spot in the next couple generations is
twenty games. They'll get rid of the exhibition games. There'll
be no exhibition games. That gets rid of two weeks
of exhibition football. They'll they're going to go to two
by weeks. When they get to eighteen games, they're gonna
have to add either three or four bye weeks when
they get to twenty games.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Wait, Fred Dreyer, he was in here. He told me
to my face.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I think he even said it on the air when
he was playing in the NFL in the nineteen seventies
early eighties, the NFL wanted to get to twenty games
back then, all right?
Speaker 11 (36:32):
Next, with the White Sox now tying an American League
record with twenty one straight losses, summer wondering why the
team hasn't put Pedro Griffell out of his misery?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah, Ben, is he gonna last the season?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, it's a sinking shit? Why not? Why would you
fire him at this point? What are you trying? What
are you exactly trying to?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
If they wanted to actually avoid this, they should have
done it months ago. They've sucked the entire season. They're
twenty games win every other team in the American League.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Next.
Speaker 11 (36:58):
Over the weekend, USA rugby player Alona mar joked that
