Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, a staple of
sports talk conversation has shifted locations, but it's continuing the
same old Rigamaror. We're talking about a wide receiver named
Stefan Diggs. What do you make of Stefan Diggs getting
(00:22):
into the face of his new quarterback CJ. Stroud during
the Texans exhibition game over the weekend. Also, how do
you categorize the Chargers offensive performance under Jim Harbaugh? And
why did Jet Star Sauce Gardner engage with an online troll?
How did that go for Sauce? We'll go there as well.
(00:45):
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is our number three of the pod, Houston, we have
a problem and it's not your baseball team this time. Welcome,
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere with bull dust as
(01:10):
we go all night, every night, coast to coast, border
to border and beyond. On the mast and ginormously powerful
microphones of fs are emmating live from the tails as
we give you tales from the turf and beyond. We're
broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot Com studios tyraq dot com.
(01:33):
We'll help you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tyraq dot com The way tirebind should be on. Our
buddy double Low Mexican in San Diego has seen ten
thousand padre losses over the years. But our lead this
(01:56):
hour coming to you from the lone Star State, one
of the glamour teams. And as we started getting ready
for the football season, you're like, well, who's getting the
most buzz who the it teams in the off season
because of the transaction wire, And no matter where you look,
it's the Houston Texans. They're one of those Atlanta Houston
(02:20):
getting a lot of love for what they did this offseason.
Those are two at the very top. I mean, there's
a couple of other teams that went out and made some
moves that stand out, but the Texans in particular want
to focus on them here already under the microscope because
they were a surprise team last year and there's an
(02:40):
issue in utopia for the Texans. And if you didn't
see this, perhaps not an old friend is back at
it again. The gift that keeps on giving wide receiver
Stefon Diggs over the weekend. Well, I was eating cream
puffs and canoli. Stefan Diggs was roughly feathers in the
(03:02):
Houston Texans facility. A video popped up online social media
investigators digging deep the video show Stefawn Diggs screaming at
the Texans quarterback see J. Stroud on the social media
investigative Wing doing some research on this. They looked at
(03:22):
all the video available and they have been debating. This
is passionate debate. Is this something or is this nothing?
What's going on? There was a kerfluffle, but is it
a big kerfluffle or not a kerfluffle? What qualifies as
a kerfluffle? I don't even know. So let us discuss
(03:44):
the question, what do you make of the now viral
video of Stefon Diggs getting into the face of his quarterback.
That's my quarterback, CJ. Stroud during the Texans first exhibition
game over the weekend. So I've got biblical playlist and
whack them mole and we will combine all of these
(04:06):
things together and we'll go good afternoon, good evening, and
good night, is what we're going to do. So a
to answer the question, you know, what do you make
of Stefan Digs in this video? I gave it sidey
and it was one of those told you so, told
you so, Yeah, like what were you expecting? Serious question?
(04:29):
What were you expecting? This is what Stefan Diggs does.
It's what he has done, it is what he is
going to continue to do. It has been his signature
as an NFL player. He fills up the statuet a
lot of sizzle, real plays as well, gets you all
(04:50):
excited Washington play football. He runs past defensive backs and
makes these gymnastic light catches, acrobatic plays on the field,
game changing plays, clearly, But for every single whoa jaw dropping,
amazing play that Stefon Diggs makes on the field, he
(05:13):
has been a custom over his careers in Minnesota and
Buffalo to animated conversations, to Poudy face, a lot of
Poudy face on the sidelines, complaining, grumbling. Now, is that
just the competitive fighting spirit that he wants to win?
And he's a he's a gamer, he's a football player,
(05:34):
as somebody used to say. But there's a biblical phrase
here that applies. Live by the sword, Die by the sword,
or in this case. Live by the Stefan Diggs, Die
by the Stefon Diggs. Because if you look at all
of these stories and We've talked about every one of
them since I've been here at Fox Sports, right have
been here longer than he's been in the NFL, And
the one constant with Stefon Diggs, he's the common denominator.
(05:58):
He's the common denominator. He said, well, Minnesota, it's a
one off. He had a problem with the Vikings, but
he went to Buffalo would be better. Well, yeah, I
had issues. He had issues in Buffalo. And now he's
in Houston and teenda, hocus pocus, aberkadabra. The flag is
up and we're off to the races here. But as always,
much like he is the common denominator in every one
(06:20):
of these locations, what have we heard? We hear from
the usual suspects, the same jock sniffers that come out
of the wood work, and every one of these cities
defending Stefan Diggs. They're doing it now in Houston. And
he's just a competitive guy. He just wants to win.
He's talking shop, he's discussing the game. There's nothing to
(06:41):
see here. People just making a big deal about it.
It's never his fault. There's always a conga line of
brown nose fanboys, many of them in the media, who
run interference for Stefan Diggs. Happened with the Vikings, happened
with Buffalo. So it's the old line. Fool me once, right,
(07:02):
shame on you, I got you all right, fool me twice,
shame on me, fool me three times. Shame on all
of the above, everyone involved. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.
The truth often comes out when Stefon Diggs leaves. Well.
The Vikings have not won a Super Bowl since Diggs
exited the Twin Cities. They did find a player better
than him when they traded him to Buffalo in Jefferson,
(07:25):
so they got a better player there. And who knows
what's gonna happen with the Buffalo Bills. But I do
know for a fact that Josh Allen shaded Stefan Diggs
while I was away and when asked about his departure, saying, quote,
don't know if i'd say I miss him close quote
(07:45):
Josh Allen said of the lack of having Stefan Diggs,
good luck to C. J. Stroud as he's got next,
he's got next, and there'll be some big plays, and
the Texans will win their SHAREFF games in the regular season.
But at some point, much like a dormant volcano, the
lava will start bubbling up and it's go time. It
(08:10):
is go time. It'll be ash in the air everywhere.
That's gonna happen. Now we pivot page two, We pivot
to La La land where over the weekend. Then I
can talk about the rems the Chargers, a much ballyhooed
coaching debut returned to the NFL for Jim Harbaugh's bolts.
As he's back down. They lost to the Seahawks in
(08:32):
a practice game, not real game, not real game, a
practice game over the weekend. First look, So how do
you categorize how do you categorize the Chargers offensive performance
under Jim Harbaugh in a exhibition game against the Seattle
football team. So as exciting the playlist Elevator music is
(08:55):
exciting as a playlist of Elevator music, My god, monotonous,
absolutely monotonous. Now the Charger marching in chowder. Society will say, well,
wait a minute here, Herbert didn't play. That's why he's
still out and it's an exhibition game, and Harbaugh's old
school and he didn't want to show anything and all that,
(09:15):
and some guy named Easton Stick was out there. I'd
rather have a stick of gum playing quarterback that Easton Stick.
And he was out there. But even with all of
those qualifiers, even with all of that saying, well, this,
that and the other thing, you're telling me that the Chargers,
that that was what you got, that the performance was acceptable.
(09:36):
They had less than two hundred yards of offense, nine
first downs and three points. Okay, all of that against
a hodgepodge of backups, second third, four string Seattle Seahawk
defensive players. If it was a food dish, the Charger offense,
(09:57):
if it was a food dish, it would be a tato,
but no skin on the potato would be the plain
white potato and it would be not fried, it would
be boiled without the skin. That was the charges offensive.
So Jim Harbo, we know that he's trying to reinvent
the identity of the Chargers, that he's looking to build
a better mouse trap. That that's the goal here, to
(10:20):
adapt and to redefine what the charges are ground and
pound and Okay, but man, that was that was pretty dull.
And I'm actually I don't go to every game like Eddie,
you know, I'm invested in like that, but I go
to a lot of those Charger games. And boy, that's bad.
That was a bad product. But it is an exhibition
and we'll we'll wait until the regular season. But we
(10:41):
have a show to do right now. So that's what
we're talking about now. Last word here, all right, So
the last word the social networks is where we go
where let's get Saucy sauce Gardener, big name on a
bad team, the Jets. Sauce Gardner defensive back found himself
caught up in a brew haha of the cyber variety
(11:05):
as he engaged his lasers with a troll. So this
came across my radar. Maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't.
Actually was tipped off to this. I was traveling on Sunday,
so a listener sent this to me. I did not
see this firsthand, but I did do some investigating. So
(11:25):
there's a screenshot that's been making the rounds of social media.
It shows sauce Gardener posing with not one, not two,
but three flight attendants and it's made the rounds whatever
is on a flight and they were very happy that
he was there, and they said some nice things about him.
So then some troll came on there, of course, claiming
that Sauce Gardner was canoodling with the flight attendants there.
(11:49):
The ladies Sauce saw this. It got a lot of engagement,
a lot of engagement. So Sauce Gardner called out the
gooper for his obsessive trolling, if you will, of the
Jets defensive back, pointing out that the trolls account is
full of malicious posting. Shocking a troll would have malicious
(12:12):
postings about the aforementioned sauce Gardener. So why did let's
get to the white part. Why did Sauce Gardener the
Jets engage lockhorns with a troll? Why would you do that?
So Gardner, this is settling for mediocrety, much like the Jets.
(12:36):
Like the Jets, not even mediocre, like they were just
worse than that. But a Sauce Gardener involved in a boondoggle.
This is a boondoggle situation right because it is an
unwinnable game of whack a mole. You're playing whack a mole.
You cannot win because if you knock down one troll,
five others will pop up and say, here I am,
(12:58):
look at me.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Naw wow.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That happens all the time. Don't feed the trolls. Don't
do it, cannot do. It's like gremlins. You can't feed
gremlins after midnight. Don't get them near water. Same thing
with the trolls. You feed the trolls, you just create
more trolls and sauce gardens. Like I have it all
figured out. Now, what often happens in the jockocracy The
(13:23):
people that just worship athletes, that genuflect the athletes no
matter what they can do, no wrong, no matter what
they do, they do have their army of defenders that
will run out and look out for them. So you've
got that element. But in addition to that, well you
have that on one side, there are many more trolls
that will pop up like mushrooms on kind of a
(13:43):
wet weather type situation. They just pop up there it's
and then you step in it. It's like the roach Motel,
and you book to stay at the roach Motel because
the cockroaches come out. They do. It is the Ban
Mallard Show. If you'd like to be part of that.
You can you want to hear the speak easy rules
are in effect. There's a line open if you want
(14:05):
to be part. Fill that line right now. We'll get
you on the air, hopefully within the hour. Also, later

I'm gonna go with Okay, fine answer. Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
That isn't correct. That any The correct answer is none
other than a parody account. It was a merry account.
He got duped. He's the good thing about Steve Smith
Senior is he seems very angry and he engages that
anger quite a bit. So this there's a parody account
(19:24):
that that was goofing on him, saying that he got
into a fight at a UFC event. There was no
the date that was given. There was no UFC event
for him to get in a fight into. But Steve
Smith got so upset he then starts like attacking the
guy and all that online and so the whole thing
played out for the world to see. I've triggered Nostradinas,

distant relative of nore Dama's friend of Nostrudinas who lived
in Seattle. He was at that Maller meeting we did

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
So I mentioned that the US now the Olympics of
Kombo clothes, leading all countries with one hundred and twenty
six total medals, including forty two bronze. However, that could
change at some point. Controversy in gymnastics, where American Jordan
Chiles took bronze after the US coaches filed uh, I
guess kind of a protest over a score that I guess.
(25:01):
I guess there was a move that she made that
they didn't They didn't credit her for.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
What was the move, Eddie, I don't know, you're you're
a gymnastics guy who I'm not.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Actually, but she made a move and they said, hey,
wait minute, she didn't get credit for that. And you know,
in gymnastics, you know a little one point could make
a big deal.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Of course, and the Netflix documentary I love gymnastic, Yeah,
my favorite sport is.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
So they're like, yeah, you're right, and so they gave
her the point and she won the bronze because of that,
and then the I guess there was like a Romanian
gymnast who got screwed out of the bronze, I guess.
And so they filed a protest and they said they said,
the US didn't file the appeal within one minute, would
you have to do? And so now they're saying, oh, yeah,
you didn't win the bronze, you gotta give it, give
(25:38):
it back. And then the US is saying, we had
video proof that the coaches for the US did in
fact get that protest in within a minute. So anyway,
they're going back and forth. We'll see if she has
to give back the meddler. Now, no, she could just
said screw you, I'm keeping it. What are you gonna
do to my house and take it?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
What it is?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
And the like?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Who would do that? Would that be? Because it's an
international operation. Who would come in there?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
I don't think anyone would. I think they're just asking
for her to give it back.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
Can't they just paint another metal bronze and put it
over to the other girl.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, that's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
It was just chocolate.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Yeah, they're not even anything they're wrapped with.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, they're not actual medals. What about this everyone's been message?
You mean about this breakdancer from Australia. You'd into that, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
I don't know anything about the breakdancer from Australia.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
What happened rega or I saw a clip it. I
don't really know much about it. But this person just
went viral, yeah all over. It didn't win anything though, right,
just went.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Viral zero points.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Wow, how is that possible?
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Because it was hilariously awful.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Dressed like a pe teacher, right, that was the thing.
It was like American Idol auditions for like the worst.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Isn't there some sort of qualification you have to go
through to make.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Any I don't care what exactly what is the I mean,
come on, that was big.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
When we we're not talking about you know, some tiny
little nation too, we're talking about Australia. You said, come on,
it's got to be some break dancers in Australia.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Rachel Gunn is that her name is? Yes, Rachel's gun
I'll have to check it out. Then how can you
miss it? Eddie? Like it's everywhere.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
I don't go on social media unless I'm at work.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Okay, I mean I didn't go on there either, but
I mean people were emailing me. The one nobody emailed
me to me, I guess they don't like it.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
That's fine. I don't need to see breakdancing, but all
you need to Rachel Gunn.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah it was just a ray gun Yeah, you can't
miss her. Yeah, I wonder, I wonder.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Who finishing zero? By the way, even if, even if
if you're out there, don't you get something?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Who do you think finished behind her?
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Like?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Who didn't make the Australian breakdancing squad?
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You know, I was last chair in band.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Ben What instrument did you play?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Lorena?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
The flute? Well?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
I get it to make a sound.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
I feel like I was the breakdancer of the flute department.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
It was so bad, Yeah it was. It was awkward,
But that's people will remember for this woman. She'll be
forever famous as an Olympic moment.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
She's a professor. She's a professor that lectures on dance
and gender politics.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Oh boy, that sounds like my kind of friend. All right, wonderful,
absolutely great. Matt the Warrior Raider fan says, weed Man
is still a freeman. Weed Man is still a freeman.
We don't have his number, though he keeps every time
he goes in there. He gets out of jail, he
told me the whole story. He said. When he goes
to jail, they shut his phone off.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
We got you the new number, did.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You get Maybe I have it? Okay, he said. Every
time he goes to jail, it cost him two hundred
and fifty bucks to get his phone rehooked up. And
every time he gets his Obama phone hooked up, they
give him a new number, so he never has the
same number. It's a and he didn't even know what
the number is most of the time. Jason says, Bill
loves the all you can eat sausage at the Gray
Bar Hotel. There here you go. I don't know about that.
(28:53):
Ferg Dog said, after seeing ray Gun's performance at the Olympics,
I'm wondering why you weren't in the breakdance competition, Ben,
You've got way better moves than her. Damn right, absolutely correct.
Should have been should have been invited. That's not going
to be part of the Olympics in twenty twenty eight.
That's what the Sega was telling me in the hallways.
He said, that's like the people in France. They decided
(29:15):
they wanted that break dancing, but in America they will
not have it. Suppose supposedly, Let's go to the phones.
David is in Maine. Hello, David, Welcome David. Oh, oh
my god, David, Oh my yeah. Two hours love when people?
I love it? Oh my god? Did I I had

Some of them giving crafts a freaking duran? You said
a bad word.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
You know, oh, Jared Durant, Well it was. It was
caught on was caught on a live the Red Sox
All Star game MVP who was heckling back at a
fan and called the fan what they call a cigarette
in in the U k. Is what he called.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Can't even make fun of anybody anymore? I know, you.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Know how far now you know, David, the Red the
Red Sox are pretty woke. So like, what are they
going to force Duran to go? Like are they going
to force him to go to some kind of therapy?
Like what's the move here? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I don't think they do nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Well they no, No, they've already they've already done something.
They already released this this over the top of the
Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
So they don't do nothing about nobody or nothing. They
don't find what was.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
What was Kobe's punishment?
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Oh, yeah, he remember that he got fined. Uh, he
didn't get suspender. He got find like a few thousands
of dollars or something.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I just looked it up. Wow, one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Oh that's more than a few thousand dollars. But that's
still he didn't lose, He didn't get suspended for a
game or anything like that. Yeah, but the the cameras
caught Jared Durant of the Red Sox yelling the homophobic
slur towards a fian Uh and then uh he got replayed.
It was in the sixth inning. I think it was.
It was ten to nothing cheating a holes at the
(31:28):
time when and when he did it, so stupid stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
When they're on TV, I don't say, huh.

It's not gonna win it. Music. There's music.
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, a staple of
sports talk conversation has shifted locations, but it's continuing the
same old Rigamaror. We're talking about a wide receiver named
Stefan Diggs. What do you make of Stefan Diggs getting
(00:22):
into the face of his new quarterback CJ. Stroud during
the Texans exhibition game over the weekend. Also, how do
you categorize the Chargers offensive performance under Jim Harbaugh? And
why did Jet Star Sauce Gardner engage with an online troll?
How did that go for Sauce? We'll go there as well.
(00:45):
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is our number three of the pod, Houston, we have
a problem and it's not your baseball team this time. Welcome,
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere with bull dust as
(01:10):
we go all night, every night, coast to coast, border
to border and beyond. On the mast and ginormously powerful

Tyraq dot com The way tirebind should be on. Our
buddy double Low Mexican in San Diego has seen ten
thousand padre losses over the years. But our lead this
(01:56):
hour coming to you from the lone Star State, one
of the glamour teams. And as we started getting ready
for the football season, you're like, well, who's getting the
most buzz who the it teams in the off season
because of the transaction wire, And no matter where you look,
it's the Houston Texans. They're one of those Atlanta Houston
(02:20):
getting a lot of love for what they did this offseason.
Those are two at the very top. I mean, there's
a couple of other teams that went out and made some
moves that stand out, but the Texans in particular want
to focus on them here already under the microscope because
they were a surprise team last year and there's an
(02:40):
issue in utopia for the Texans. And if you didn't
see this, perhaps not an old friend is back at
it again. The gift that keeps on giving wide receiver
Stefon Diggs over the weekend. Well, I was eating cream
puffs and canoli. Stefan Diggs was roughly feathers in the
(03:02):
Houston Texans facility. A video popped up online social media
investigators digging deep the video show Stefawn Diggs screaming at
the Texans quarterback see J. Stroud on the social media
investigative Wing doing some research on this. They looked at
(03:22):
all the video available and they have been debating. This
is passionate debate. Is this something or is this nothing?
What's going on? There was a kerfluffle, but is it
a big kerfluffle or not a kerfluffle? What qualifies as
a kerfluffle? I don't even know. So let us discuss
(03:44):
the question, what do you make of the now viral
video of Stefon Diggs getting into the face of his quarterback.
That's my quarterback, CJ. Stroud during the Texans first exhibition
game over the weekend. So I've got biblical playlist and
whack them mole and we will combine all of these
(04:06):
things together and we'll go good afternoon, good evening, and
good night, is what we're going to do. So a
to answer the question, you know, what do you make
of Stefan Digs in this video? I gave it sidey
and it was one of those told you so, told
you so, Yeah, like what were you expecting? Serious question?
(04:29):
What were you expecting? This is what Stefan Diggs does.
It's what he has done, it is what he is
going to continue to do. It has been his signature
as an NFL player. He fills up the statuet a
lot of sizzle, real plays as well, gets you all
(04:50):
excited Washington play football. He runs past defensive backs and
makes these gymnastic light catches, acrobatic plays on the field,
game changing plays, clearly, But for every single whoa jaw dropping,
amazing play that Stefon Diggs makes on the field, he
(05:13):
has been a custom over his careers in Minnesota and
Buffalo to animated conversations, to Poudy face, a lot of
Poudy face on the sidelines, complaining, grumbling. Now, is that
just the competitive fighting spirit that he wants to win?
And he's a he's a gamer, he's a football player,
(05:34):
as somebody used to say. But there's a biblical phrase
here that applies. Live by the sword, Die by the sword,
or in this case. Live by the Stefan Diggs, Die
by the Stefon Diggs. Because if you look at all
of these stories and We've talked about every one of
them since I've been here at Fox Sports, right have
been here longer than he's been in the NFL, And
the one constant with Stefon Diggs, he's the common denominator.
(05:58):
He's the common denominator. He said, well, Minnesota, it's a
one off. He had a problem with the Vikings, but
he went to Buffalo would be better. Well, yeah, I
had issues. He had issues in Buffalo. And now he's
in Houston and teenda, hocus pocus, aberkadabra. The flag is
up and we're off to the races here. But as always,
much like he is the common denominator in every one
(06:20):
of these locations, what have we heard? We hear from
the usual suspects, the same jock sniffers that come out
of the wood work, and every one of these cities
defending Stefan Diggs. They're doing it now in Houston. And
he's just a competitive guy. He just wants to win.
He's talking shop, he's discussing the game. There's nothing to
(06:41):
see here. People just making a big deal about it.
It's never his fault. There's always a conga line of
brown nose fanboys, many of them in the media, who
run interference for Stefan Diggs. Happened with the Vikings, happened
with Buffalo. So it's the old line. Fool me once, right,
(07:02):
shame on you, I got you all right, fool me twice,
shame on me, fool me three times. Shame on all
of the above, everyone involved. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.
The truth often comes out when Stefon Diggs leaves. Well.
The Vikings have not won a Super Bowl since Diggs
exited the Twin Cities. They did find a player better
than him when they traded him to Buffalo in Jefferson,
(07:25):
so they got a better player there. And who knows
what's gonna happen with the Buffalo Bills. But I do
know for a fact that Josh Allen shaded Stefan Diggs
while I was away and when asked about his departure, saying, quote,
don't know if i'd say I miss him close quote
(07:45):
Josh Allen said of the lack of having Stefan Diggs,
good luck to C. J. Stroud as he's got next,
he's got next, and there'll be some big plays, and
the Texans will win their SHAREFF games in the regular season.
But at some point, much like a dormant volcano, the
lava will start bubbling up and it's go time. It
(08:10):
is go time. It'll be ash in the air everywhere.
That's gonna happen. Now we pivot page two, We pivot
to La La land where over the weekend. Then I
can talk about the rems the Chargers, a much ballyhooed
coaching debut returned to the NFL for Jim Harbaugh's bolts.
As he's back down. They lost to the Seahawks in
(08:32):
a practice game, not real game, not real game, a
practice game over the weekend. First look, So how do
you categorize how do you categorize the Chargers offensive performance
under Jim Harbaugh in a exhibition game against the Seattle
football team. So as exciting the playlist Elevator music is
(08:55):
exciting as a playlist of Elevator music, My god, monotonous,
absolutely monotonous. Now the Charger marching in chowder. Society will say, well,
wait a minute here, Herbert didn't play. That's why he's
still out and it's an exhibition game, and Harbaugh's old
school and he didn't want to show anything and all that,
(09:15):
and some guy named Easton Stick was out there. I'd
rather have a stick of gum playing quarterback that Easton Stick.
And he was out there. But even with all of
those qualifiers, even with all of that saying, well, this,
that and the other thing, you're telling me that the Chargers,
that that was what you got, that the performance was acceptable.
(09:36):
They had less than two hundred yards of offense, nine
first downs and three points. Okay, all of that against
a hodgepodge of backups, second third, four string Seattle Seahawk
defensive players. If it was a food dish, the Charger offense,
(09:57):
if it was a food dish, it would be a tato,
but no skin on the potato would be the plain
white potato and it would be not fried, it would
be boiled without the skin. That was the charges offensive.
So Jim Harbo, we know that he's trying to reinvent
the identity of the Chargers, that he's looking to build
a better mouse trap. That that's the goal here, to
(10:20):
adapt and to redefine what the charges are ground and
pound and Okay, but man, that was that was pretty dull.
And I'm actually I don't go to every game like Eddie,
you know, I'm invested in like that, but I go
to a lot of those Charger games. And boy, that's bad.
That was a bad product. But it is an exhibition
and we'll we'll wait until the regular season. But we
(10:41):
have a show to do right now. So that's what
we're talking about now. Last word here, all right, So
the last word the social networks is where we go
where let's get Saucy sauce Gardener, big name on a
bad team, the Jets. Sauce Gardner defensive back found himself
caught up in a brew haha of the cyber variety
(11:05):
as he engaged his lasers with a troll. So this
came across my radar. Maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't.
Actually was tipped off to this. I was traveling on Sunday,
so a listener sent this to me. I did not
see this firsthand, but I did do some investigating. So
(11:25):
there's a screenshot that's been making the rounds of social media.
It shows sauce Gardener posing with not one, not two,
but three flight attendants and it's made the rounds whatever
is on a flight and they were very happy that
he was there, and they said some nice things about him.
So then some troll came on there, of course, claiming
that Sauce Gardner was canoodling with the flight attendants there.
(11:49):
The ladies Sauce saw this. It got a lot of engagement,
a lot of engagement. So Sauce Gardner called out the
gooper for his obsessive trolling, if you will, of the
Jets defensive back, pointing out that the trolls account is
full of malicious posting. Shocking a troll would have malicious
(12:12):
postings about the aforementioned sauce Gardener. So why did let's
get to the white part. Why did Sauce Gardener the
Jets engage lockhorns with a troll? Why would you do that?
So Gardner, this is settling for mediocrety, much like the Jets.
(12:36):
Like the Jets, not even mediocre, like they were just
worse than that. But a Sauce Gardener involved in a boondoggle.
This is a boondoggle situation right because it is an
unwinnable game of whack a mole. You're playing whack a mole.
You cannot win because if you knock down one troll,
five others will pop up and say, here I am,
(12:58):
look at me.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Naw wow.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That happens all the time. Don't feed the trolls. Don't
do it, cannot do. It's like gremlins. You can't feed
gremlins after midnight. Don't get them near water. Same thing
with the trolls. You feed the trolls, you just create
more trolls and sauce gardens. Like I have it all
figured out. Now, what often happens in the jockocracy The
(13:23):
people that just worship athletes, that genuflect the athletes no
matter what they can do, no wrong, no matter what
they do, they do have their army of defenders that
will run out and look out for them. So you've
got that element. But in addition to that, well you
have that on one side, there are many more trolls
that will pop up like mushrooms on kind of a
(13:43):
wet weather type situation. They just pop up there it's
and then you step in it. It's like the roach Motel,
and you book to stay at the roach Motel because
the cockroaches come out. They do. It is the Ban
Mallard Show. If you'd like to be part of that.
You can you want to hear the speak easy rules
are in effect. There's a line open if you want
(14:05):
to be part. Fill that line right now. We'll get
you on the air, hopefully within the hour. Also, later
this hour we will have for your ear drum pleasure,
we are going to have a riveting instant advice Linyl
bec coming near the end of the hour and you
can hit me up on X at Ben Maller. If
you know the riddle of the day, the Mallar Riddle
(14:27):
of the day, well, this kind of goes with the
theme of the hour. Just talked about sauce guard. But
a former NFL star, Steve Smith Senior, he got duped
into a fight with a blank. Again, a former NFL
star wide receiver, Steve Smith Senior got duped into a
(14:47):
fight with a blank. That is the Mallor riddle love
the day. The answer, We'll get to it and we
will do it.

(18:54):
Smith Senior got duped into a fight with a blank
I'm gonna go with Okay, fine answer. Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
That isn't correct. That any The correct answer is none
other than a parody account. It was a merry account.
He got duped. He's the good thing about Steve Smith
Senior is he seems very angry and he engages that
anger quite a bit. So this there's a parody account
(19:24):
that that was goofing on him, saying that he got
into a fight at a UFC event. There was no
the date that was given. There was no UFC event
for him to get in a fight into. But Steve
Smith got so upset he then starts like attacking the
guy and all that online and so the whole thing
played out for the world to see. I've triggered Nostradinas,

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
So I mentioned that the US now the Olympics of
Kombo clothes, leading all countries with one hundred and twenty
six total medals, including forty two bronze. However, that could
change at some point. Controversy in gymnastics, where American Jordan
Chiles took bronze after the US coaches filed uh, I
guess kind of a protest over a score that I guess.
(25:01):
I guess there was a move that she made that
they didn't They didn't credit her for.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
What was the move, Eddie, I don't know, you're you're
a gymnastics guy who I'm not.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Actually, but she made a move and they said, hey,
wait minute, she didn't get credit for that. And you know,
in gymnastics, you know a little one point could make
a big deal.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Of course, and the Netflix documentary I love gymnastic, Yeah,
my favorite sport is.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
So they're like, yeah, you're right, and so they gave
her the point and she won the bronze because of that,
and then the I guess there was like a Romanian
gymnast who got screwed out of the bronze, I guess.
And so they filed a protest and they said they said,
the US didn't file the appeal within one minute, would
you have to do? And so now they're saying, oh, yeah,
you didn't win the bronze, you gotta give it, give
(25:38):
it back. And then the US is saying, we had
video proof that the coaches for the US did in
fact get that protest in within a minute. So anyway,
they're going back and forth. We'll see if she has
to give back the meddler. Now, no, she could just
said screw you, I'm keeping it. What are you gonna
do to my house and take it?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
What it is?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
And the like?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Who would do that? Would that be? Because it's an
international operation. Who would come in there?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
I don't think anyone would. I think they're just asking
for her to give it back.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
Can't they just paint another metal bronze and put it
over to the other girl.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, that's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
It was just chocolate.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Yeah, they're not even anything they're wrapped with.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, they're not actual medals. What about this everyone's been message?
You mean about this breakdancer from Australia. You'd into that, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
I don't know anything about the breakdancer from Australia.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
What happened rega or I saw a clip it. I
don't really know much about it. But this person just
went viral, yeah all over. It didn't win anything though, right,
just went.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Viral zero points.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Wow, how is that possible?
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Because it was hilariously awful.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Dressed like a pe teacher, right, that was the thing.
It was like American Idol auditions for like the worst.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Isn't there some sort of qualification you have to go
through to make.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Any I don't care what exactly what is the I mean,
come on, that was big.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
When we we're not talking about you know, some tiny
little nation too, we're talking about Australia. You said, come on,
it's got to be some break dancers in Australia.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Rachel Gunn is that her name is? Yes, Rachel's gun
I'll have to check it out. Then how can you
miss it? Eddie? Like it's everywhere.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
I don't go on social media unless I'm at work.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Okay, I mean I didn't go on there either, but
I mean people were emailing me. The one nobody emailed
me to me, I guess they don't like it.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
That's fine. I don't need to see breakdancing, but all
you need to Rachel Gunn.
Speaker 1 (27:25):

Speaker 8 (27:50):
I feel like I was the breakdancer of the flute department.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
It was so bad, Yeah it was. It was awkward,
But that's people will remember for this woman. She'll be
forever famous as an Olympic moment.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
She's a professor. She's a professor that lectures on dance
and gender politics.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Oh boy, that sounds like my kind of friend. All right, wonderful,
absolutely great. Matt the Warrior Raider fan says, weed Man
is still a freeman. Weed Man is still a freeman.
We don't have his number, though he keeps every time
he goes in there. He gets out of jail, he
told me the whole story. He said. When he goes
to jail, they shut his phone off.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
We got you the new number, did.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You get Maybe I have it? Okay, he said. Every
time he goes to jail, it cost him two hundred
and fifty bucks to get his phone rehooked up. And
every time he gets his Obama phone hooked up, they
give him a new number, so he never has the
same number. It's a and he didn't even know what
the number is most of the time. Jason says, Bill
loves the all you can eat sausage at the Gray
Bar Hotel. There here you go. I don't know about that.
(28:53):
Ferg Dog said, after seeing ray Gun's performance at the Olympics,
I'm wondering why you weren't in the breakdance competition, Ben,
You've got way better moves than her. Damn right, absolutely correct.
Should have been should have been invited. That's not going
to be part of the Olympics in twenty twenty eight.
That's what the Sega was telling me in the hallways.
He said, that's like the people in France. They decided
(29:15):
they wanted that break dancing, but in America they will
not have it. Suppose supposedly, Let's go to the phones.
