Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's our number four of the big time radio show,
up all night recording this podcast. Rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy
set to have knee surgery. He's out indefinitely. How big
a setback is this for the Minnesota Viking football team? Also,
Taraden Mayo does not want fighting during practices. Do you
(00:26):
agree with the Patriots discipline plan? Also, Michael Parsons says
he expects CD Lamb to have a new Cowboy deal
before the season opener. What are the malarads on this
actually happening? I'll discuss that as well. Have a wonderful
hump day. It's the fourteenth day of August on this Wednesday,
(00:47):
and here is our number four, feeling purple. Well come
in the beginning another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, polk Up Pals, as
(01:10):
we keep the night young and the morning even younger. Coast,
the coast, border, the border and beyond. On the mast
and pioneeringly powerful microphones of fs are emmating live from
a dream as we are living the dream. We're broadcasting
(01:30):
live from the Tyraq dot Com studios. Tyraq dot Com
will help you get there, an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars are friend Tammy in Vegas laughed ten thousand times
watching Mike in Vegas drink mouthwash at the Mallard Meet
(01:53):
and Greek there tire rack dot com the way tire
buying should be. So our lead this out. We're start
in the Twin Cities. We'll do the shuffle, the quarterback shuffle.
We have quarterback news brewing, a decision has been made
by default, by default, a weekend of mostly grand performances
(02:14):
in Vanilla exhibition games, and a rookie quarterback who turn heads.
But his rookie season has taken an ominous turn in
the Twin Cities. And if you didn't hear about this,
perhaps it did not reach your radar because you actually
have a life and you don't obsess about all these stories.
But we learned that the Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy, he's
(02:35):
a Michigan man. JJ McCarthy is going to go under
the knife, snapcrackle, pop knee surgery. Coach Kevin O'Connell had
claimed that his quarterback suffered from nie soreness after the
outstanding performance against the Raiders in that exhibition game. In
(02:58):
that game, McCarthy, again a generic Raider defense, averaged eleven
yards per pass and not one but two touchdowns and
through some absolute dimes, drops some passes into the bread
basket of those Viking wide receivers. Looked amazing. But now
we are told that McCarthy is going to require the surgery.
He's got a torn meniscus. The only reason I know
(03:19):
what the meniscus is is I have a couple. But
it's because of sports, because of sports. So anyways, he's
got a torn meniscus. The severity of the injury is
not yet known, and no timeline has been offered as
to when JJ McCarthy will return to action. So this
is what I want to talk to you about. The
question here for the Steam panel. The question is this
(03:41):
rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy set to have knee surgery. He's
out in definitely. That's what we know. Now. How big
a setback is this for the Vikings. So I've got
balanced diet, Modello and New York Marathon, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
(04:05):
to make a hunched over Eddie Garcia, who's deep in
conversation right now, paying no attention to what I'm saying
at all. So to kick off here, what's the line.
I'm not a doctor, but I did stay at a
holiday and express the old marketing campaign there. So from
what we know, and the only reason again we know
this is because of the job and following sports and
(04:26):
injuries meniscus. Here's a fun fact about the meniscus. If
you tear your meniscus as an athlete or a mere mortal,
and you go into the operating room, they put you
on the gurney. There, they drug you. You're gonna operate
on the meniscus. It's touch and go. Now, the reason
I've learned this over the here is the reason the
meniscus operation is touch and go is because from what
(04:48):
I've been told, they can't determine how messed up the
injury is until they slice you open, right so, but
essentially during the procedure, when they look at the damage,
they will then make a decision should we just trim
around the edges of the meniscus or should we do
(05:09):
a full repair job from the studs up. And a
trim would mean that J. J. McCarthy would be out
a few weeks, you would miss the start of the season,
but he'd be back shortly after that. A full on
repair would be multiple months where McCarthy would be down
for the count. So we turned nowt to the Mallard
(05:29):
report card, answering the question how big a setback is
this for the Minnesota football team with McCarthy being out,
So on the malor report card for the fans of
the Vikings, the fan of the Minnesota Vikings, this is
if it is a repair, it is el stinko. If
it's a repair, so that's an f for the team.
(05:52):
Either way, it is an a. Certainly a trim would
be in a full pair would be like a bee.
It'd be a b. Not not an A, but a bee.
It would be advantageous. That is the word. It's a
long word, advantageous for the Vikings. Here's why because that
then removes the pressure, the pressure from Kevin O'Connell and
(06:20):
the MENSA GM in Minnesota, because if McCarthy can't play,
he's not ready to go from Jump Street, then no
one can question the decision to go the other direction.
So instead of McCarthy being able to play, the rookie.
They go with the blueprint that they had in the
off season. They drew that up in the in the
(06:41):
a couple months ago when they added Sam Donald. This
all but guarantees that Sam Donald will start the regular
season opener for the Vikings and games after that and
until he gets hurt, and that'll give JJ McCarthy a
chance to sit on the sidelines and hold the clipboard,
and the Vikings will give him a balanced diet. That
diet will include foods like lunchables and uncrustables and Dino
(07:04):
nuggets and all the things you feed children and barring, barring. Now,
there's a possibility here that Sam Donald actually fools people,
beginner's luck with a new team and plays well for
a while, but ultimately, you know, when the push comes
to shove, it's Sam Donald. Ghostbuster time is what it is.
(07:28):
I'm seeing ghosts out here now. Speaking of pushing and shoving,
we advanced to New England where coach Gerod Mayo revealing
he ain't happy that there's fighting boys being boys at
training camp joint practices with the Philadelphia football team, and
he made a decree regarding the training camp fistic cuffs
(07:52):
guys throwing haymakers at players for the other team, Patriot
players throwing punches at Eagle players. So rather than me
tell you what Romeo's doing, let's go to the audio tape. Okay,
uh Lorain and not listening, Coop not listening. And we
have all three of them in the room, none of
(08:13):
them listening, and they're still not This is fascinating. So
I tossed audio.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You don't fight in a real o. There a real
good and you get fine, you get kicked out. It's
the same thing here. My message are the players. Are
you getting a fight out here? If you're a starter,
you're gonna play the whole preseason game. If you're not
a starter, you won't play at all. And so that's
that's kind.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Of my mindset with that. Is there more pizza? Is that?
What is that?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean, what are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (08:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
There was no more?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Okay, people say, why did play more sound? Well, it's
hard to get it played all right anyway. So Gerrodmeo
essentially said, listen, if you're a starter, and you as
you heard, if you throw you wait a little bit.
But if you throw a punch, you're gonna play the
entire exhibition game. And if you're a backup and you
throw aut punts, you're not gonna play it all. So
Jerrodmeo does not want any fighting during these exhibition practices
(09:09):
and all that. Do you agree with that line of
discipline for the Patriots. So this is it's Disney like,
it's Dumbo, is what it is. So the Patriots are
back to being the Patsies. We've already established that every
single game they play, every single game they play, they're
(09:29):
an underdog. This year, there is going to be a
gigantic the size of the Grand Canyon talent gap between
the Patriots and just about every opponent they have. In
order to close the gap, they must be hungry, hungry hippos, right.
They have to play with desperation, all those lines we
(09:50):
use about the underdog, and you have to scratch and claw,
and typically if you're not as talented, but you play
with desperation, you have a chance to compete and hang
in games. Maybe the other team screws up at the
end and you win. But if I'm coaching the Patriots,
I want the guys to be out there and I
want them to have that marketing slogan from Medello have
(10:13):
the fighting spirit. Well, I realized that Bill Belichick said
something similar on his paid appearance with Pat McAfee. I
don't care. I don't care that he said it. I
don't care that Errod Meo said it. I know that's
what you're supposed to say, right and all that, but
it's it's the wrong position. I want some fight, and
I want players that want to want to get into it.
And so if you're a competitor and there's tension in
(10:37):
your you're gonna throw a punch every once in a while.
I know that times have changed now and or much
softer NFL, but it just seems so stupid to say
that as a coach, I don't want my players throwing
any punches. I don't want any fight in my team.
All right now, last thing here, Micah Parsons. Micah Parsons
expecting Ceedee Lamb to have a new Cowboy deal prior
(11:02):
to the season open. This is in line with Adam
Schefter and his commentary Saint We're shocking in a recent
conversation that Cedee Lamb does not get paid. What are
the odds? What are the odds? Malarodds on Cede Lamb
getting paid. So we are not all that optimistic. Now
we're not pessimistic, but we're not optimistic. This is this
(11:25):
is a middle of the road situation. So the Malard
of Sportsbook odds here, I'm going to put the line
on this at minus one that Cede Lamb does get
the contract. But that is a based on those odds
about a fifty five percent chance to deal against them,
which is not that great. It's a slightly more than
fifty percent, So slight lean to the money going to
(11:46):
the player. And here's why Jerry Jones has made it
this far. He's so close. It's like running the New
York Marathon. You zigzag across all the streets and the
bridges and all the burn in New York. Right, you
go over that Queensboro fifty ninth street bridge there, and
you keep going and going and going. You get to
(12:08):
the twenty six mile marker. There's zero point two miles
to go, and you channel the old boxer Roberto Duran,
No Moss, no Moss. You drop out of the fight.
And Jerry Jerry very close to the finish line. He's
almost made it without giving out a big contract. Does
(12:29):
he have the willpower? Does he have the willpower? We're
gonna find out in the next month, and it's actually
less than a month to the start of the NFL
regular season. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we
continue on, if you would like to be part, you
can join us. Your speakeasy rules are in effect also
on X at Ben Mallor. I thank you for listening
(12:51):
because there are people here that do not listen. Straight ahead,
Hollywood is upset with Travis Kelsey. What are they upset
about with Travis Kelsey? Will get to that in a
classic story about the NFL and politicians involving the NFL.
We'll get to all that, and we will do it next.

Late night direct tester says, Hey, Ben, the crew in
the other room not listening. If only there was some
product that is a sponsor of the show that could
contact them in a rapid fashion. Yeah, I just said.
I had to walk down the hall and the regroup
there a little frustrating alf the alien opiners cut the
Bennetts some slack. They were just talking, taking your advice
and recording the podcast from Lorena. That's probably what was
(15:08):
going on. Probably, it's probably what's going on. A reac
in Minnesota, says great monologue. The higher ups the Twin
Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, aptly named home of the Vikings
training camp, don't want McCarthy to play this season. As
I told you earlier, he'll have the big surgery. My sources,
(15:28):
So we should go with the Reek sources and they
will go with Sam Donald this six and eleven season,
So that we should send that out on x Reek
in Minnesota reporting that the Minnesota Vikings are going to
go with Sam Donald all year. Very nice, A supermarket
Steve who has a story for everything. He was at
the malor meet and greet. There he had the Malard shirt.
(15:50):
Very nice shirt. I honored. He and his wife had
the matching shirts at the Vegas meet and greet, he says,
and not alone, by the way, we had one of
our buddies in Reno also had a shirt. A friend
of Wrecket, Ralph super Marcus Steve says, My doctors originally
thought I tore my moniscus until they went in for
some exploratory surgery. They found out that I damaged cartilage
(16:12):
inside my knee joints, which required a five hour surgery
and an eight month rehab. I'm that's that's what we're
looking at. Anyway, let's go to the phones and we'll
say hello to Eric, who is in southern California in
San Clemente. Hello, Eric, welcome, Hey, are you surprised? Did
(16:40):
you not want to go on the air? You called in?
What are you looking for?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
No? I I you did?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Are we just? Are we distracting?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Know what? There's a full moon in a few days,
and that must be why no one's paying attention. Why
am I paying attention? I don't even know why. I'm
what do I Why do I put effort into this?
I have no idea. Get a life, you know, get
a get a real job. I know some of these
other losers that come in here and just read off
the like ESPN dot com and just repeat that. I
should just do that.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Yeah, no, what, No, I have a very good friend.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You do well. Congratulations, you have one good friend.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
His name is Hobby Lopez. We have this debate who
hit the most home runs as a catcher in a
single season.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
What are we drinking today? What I have another? Do
you have any mouthwash?
Speaker 4 (17:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You do not.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Forty three home runs in a single season as a catcher.
Everybody says it's salvag door Perez.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, that's because he hit forty eight home runs. You see,
forty eight is more as but for more catcher.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Okay, not as a catcher.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay, what do you want me to do? What are
you looking for? In twenty twenty one? Forty forty eight
home runs? Johnny benshit what forty five home runs one year?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Ob?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I mean, what do you come on?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Why?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Even I gotta go, thank you. I'm done with you. Unbelievable.
Something going on here. Gotta be the full moon. So
the tabloids. I love the tabloid fodder. So the tabloids
tell us there is a brew ha in Hollywood involving
Travis Kelsey. He has been named the new host of
(18:56):
they're bringing back Are You Smarter Than a What? I
guess you're calling are You Smarter than a Celebrity?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
They're bringing a show that that was Jeff Foxworthy show
back in the day, Are You Smarter than a what
was it like? A fifth grader?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, Anyway, the tabloids tell us that the Hollywood community
whatever that means, upset. They feel it's unfair for Travis
Kelcey to take over the show. Put a sock in
your mouth. No, they're angry. Jeff Foxworthy that show is
pretty popular for years the regional Are You Smarter Than
(19:35):
the fifth Grader? And so they're claiming that they always
put the disclaimer it Well, not to take anything away
from Travis Kelsey and his success, but the show's format
is tailored towards a comedian, and Travis Kelcey is not funny.
He's a meathead football player. I mean, if you've heard
(19:57):
this podcast, he's not funny. Now there are people that
laugh at because he's an athlete, and there's Jock sniffers
that laugh at athletes whatever they say. But he's not funny,
and so that's the the argument. Of course, you could
argue with sour grapes because all Travis Kelsey has to
do is read the lines that are hand delivered to
him in either the telestrator or in his I f
(20:18):
B and they'll just tell him what to say and
he just repeats it. So you can you can just
repeat stuff. It's not that that difficult to repeat stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You could also argue that Jeff foxworthther is not funny.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
But that but he was a comedian that was his gig.
Like Travis Kelsey is not funny, nor is he paid
to be funny. The only reason he's getting the job
is because he's stooping Taylor Swift. That's why he's getting
the job. If he did, he wasn't hooking up with
Taylor Swift, he wouldn't be getting all of these opportunities,
wouldn't be there. Uh, let's go to CJ, who is
in d C. Hello, CJ. He's at the air He's
(20:53):
at the at the airs, the airport in d C.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Everything good there, unfortunately, maybe even the midnight militia.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Now you can't. No, you cannot lead. Now you're not
allowed to leave the overnight shift. How dare you?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
No, I'm about I'm about to throw one of these
people onto one of these planes and take them somewhere.
I'm frustrated with these people. I'm trying to stick it
out just so I can hang out with the mal
of militia because you guys keep me grounded and keep
me going to work. So I'm trying to stick it out.
But if it was a few guys, I'd have been
out of here on my mind.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, well it is not. And we're working in an airport,
being around the people. It is not the easiest situation.
I saw. There was a story somebody sent me that
a flight was they landed a flight prematurely because a
woman on the flight had lice in her hair.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah that's horrible. Isn't that terrible?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Horrible?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
But bathroom?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
But she made it through security. But no, but she
like went through the ts A thing and she checked
her probably checked a bag in and she got on
the plane, Like, wouldn't you How many.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
People should interest?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
It?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Should interested people?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I know, I AS's what I'm saying. It's I'm curious
how many she had on her head in order for
someone to actually be able to see it. How big
do you think they were? I'm sure they were massive.
Have you ever seen the videos where like you could
take off a whole layer of like their flea and scalp.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
You give me to give them my skin to crete.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
The colors of the American Airlines flight this week made
an emergency landing in Phoenix after lice was spotted on
a woman's hair.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Oh thank god, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You got plenty of good stuff there in d C CJ.
You could probably write a book about all the stuff
you've seen.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Question for you Mill. He was the first coach to
get thrown on the NFL hot seat. I hope that
Brian Dabel, But who do you think?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, I'm not gonna go Brian Dable. I'm gonna go
my favorite here and people in Philadelphia are not gonna
like this, But to me, it's gotta be Nick Sirianni
because the fell apart at the end of last year.
They don't have they don't have they don't have Kelsey
this year, So I'm going Siria. I know you're a
Giants fans, so you didn't want to hear that, but
(23:12):
it's the right pick.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Do I think that Brian Dable is long for the Giants? No,
because they don't have a quarterback, so that's not gonna happen.
Although the neighbors looks great at wide receiver allegedly, so
he's good. I have both Jets, Jets and Giants changing coaches.
Eagles also on that short list. Uh so you put
them on the big board and you gotta throw the
(23:35):
head coach of the Chicago Bears are there because the
Bears are one of the darling teams. And if they
if they don't live up to the hype, then what's
gonna happen? You know, CJ. If you don't live up
to the expectations, all of a sudden, Yeah, Matt, Matt
Eberfleus will be kicked.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
To the curb.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
So he looks great. For one thing. I don't like
Lebron James. And you know what this generation of fans
talking about how Jordan's table guys and plumbers, well posterize
him without a French pastry chef.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
That yeah, Well, not only that, CJO, this generation has
podcasters coaching in the NBA, right, who like, the Lakers
hired a podcaster as their coach. So, and he's the
guy JJ Reddick who was spreading all that crap about
old players. You know, they didn't go against anybody. The
guy was a podcaster and the Lakers hired him as
(24:29):
the coach. How embarrassing is that he's a pinch?
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I know he did a podcast, and the whole podcast
if you listen to it, and I heard extras of it,
he was like licking Lebron's toes during the podcast, like Lebron,
Lebron was having trouble talking because, uh JJ kept licking
his toes. Yeah, uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
These players are crazy. They get coaches fired, but they
put him on a pretestal every coach fired at sposure
because Rowley had then the startup to say, you know what,
I'm not firing my coach. He's my guy. You was
getting the door.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah listen, CJ. Don't don't don't leave the night shift
there at the airport, all right, come on?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, because I love I love being a part of
Melam militia.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
So I'm going to sit back here and listen to
all the wonderful members of Malam lussa call in and
entertained my night.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
But thank you guys, Thank you you too. There's a
CJ the airport. I've never flown into the airport in Washington, DC,
never done, but I do fly in there. I'll have
to find CJ. I'll have to track him down somewhere
at the airport.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
We all know Will Chamberlain scored one hundred points in
the game. But I guess this is a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
No, I do the fun fact.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Well, I'm doing. This is kind of a fun fact,
I guess.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah, Eddie Garcia way fun effact. That's terrible. That wasn't
very perfect for this night. It's not very good.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
But Frank Selvey passed away at the age of ninety one.
Why do we not know his name? I'm not sure,
but he scored one hundred points in a college basketball
game for Furman and Andy Furman. The school is apparently
not named after.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Him Cincinnati radio legend Andy fir.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Now, but rest in peace. Frank Selvey scored one hundred
points in the game for Furman in nineteen fifty four.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
We don't know him though for some.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Reason, because he's ninety one. Eddie Will Chamberlin is dead.
I'm just saying it's it's a pretty big milestone to
have never heard.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Of a guy.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
One hundred points the game not impressive to you.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
