Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our NWN number two. Here we
go in our number two. You have a front row
seat as Jim Harbaugh has announced that Colin Kaepernick was
offered a job and he's considering joining the Charger coaching staff.
Is there more to this story? I'm going to psycho
analyze Colin Kaepernick and Jim Harbaugh also put a grade
(00:24):
on the Patriots trade of Matthew Judan to the Falcons.
And how does the Judaan trade effect Hassan Reddick and
his plight to take a flight out of the Jets camp.
He's on standby for that. We'll get to all of it. Also,
a tradition continues wait till you hear our brief conversation
(00:46):
with hollering James. It's a classic moment on the show
and likely we'll be remembered when we do the Bennies
in early twenty twenty five. But here it is our
number two, sending shockwaves.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Wel come, in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, BFFs
as we ruffle feathers coast to coast, port of the.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Border and beyond on the mast and forcefully powerful microphones
of fs are amminating live from the Wintle as we
whittle the overnight hours down to size. We are broadcasting
live from the ti raq dot Com studios tyraq dot com.
(01:40):
We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection at over ten thousand recommended in
stars tyrack dot com, the way tire buying should be.
I think we took about ten thousand calls from Jerome
and Charleston, and then all of a sudden he stopped calling,
and you wonder what happened? Did something happen to him?
(02:02):
Is you all right? Did he get upset with the show?
Did he? I don't know. You never know, You never
know the answer. Anyway, our lead this hour from the Bolts.
We're going right to the ball. Play the hits. Ball Man,
play the hits. I will play the hits. It's also
the third railball Man, third rail. So Jim Harbaugh making headlines?
(02:23):
What did he do? This does not have anything to
do with Michigan? Did you hear? You did not hear? Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Good?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So we have learned that the Chargers head football coach
Jim Harbaugh has made a proposal. He's made an offer
to Colin Kaepernick. Is Colin Kaepernick could have joined the
Chargers as a player. No, Jim Harbaugh has offered Colin
Kaepernick hasn't played in the NFL in seven years a
(02:54):
job as a coach. Say what Yeah, recent interview Harball quote,
we talked a little bit about it. He's considering it.
Harbaugh said of the interesting Colin Kaepernick, he was out
of the country, which he was. He was interviewed by
(03:14):
Sky News in Paris this week and Harball also said
that Kaepernick told him he was going to get back
to him. They have not reconnected since that point. He
was singing the praises of his former quarterback. Harbaugh said
he'd be a tremendous coach. Says again, he's waiting to
(03:37):
hear back. All right. So the question, as we discussed
Jim Harbaugh announcing that Colin Kaepernick is considering he has
an offer, a standing offer to join the Chargers organization
as a coach. Is there more to this story? So
I've got confessional, powerball, and flight plant, and we're going
(03:59):
to combine all of these things together and we are
going to avoid goose pimples. That's what we're gonna avoid
son burn. Yes, number one. Now, this is a tupperware story.
That's what I'm gonna put it as a tupperware story.
Let me tell you why. Meaning it's like the leftover
(04:19):
spaghetti or the leftover Chinese food in the back of
your refrigerator. Because Jim Harbaugh reached out to Colin Kaepernick
back in January or February about potentially becoming a coach,
and he is still waiting for an answer. Now, maybe
(04:41):
you are challenged by the calendar, but today is the
fifteenth day of August, as we are doing the show today,
so it's the fifteenth day of August. This offer came
back in like February, let's say, and he's still waiting.
So what does that tell us? It's a dead do it?
(05:02):
Colin Kaepernick has ghosted Jim Harbaugh. He has since Harball
offered Kaepernick a job. From Harball's own words, training camp
has started. Off season workouts obviously have come and gone.
Training camp started, exhibition games have been played the NFL
season while it gets started in a few weeks the
(05:24):
real season for all intensive purposes, it is underway right now.
Jobs have already been filled and Kaepernick just did an
interview with Sky Sports where he said he wants to
still play. Doesn't that tell you he's not taking this job?
But for me, the dynamic between Harbaugh and Kaepernick is
(05:46):
the story here. That's the story. That's the there there,
if you will, as we psychoanalyze, and when you become
a gas bag, you have to you have to be
a bit of a shrink. So my theory and I
want to pitch this to you. I'm gonna make my
elevator pitch. It's an original take. I want to see
if you buy it. Okay, here's my theory. And I
(06:07):
had this as I was walking into the studio to
do the show. Jim Harball, this is a confessional. He
feels guilt now for what you ask. Jim Harbaugh feels
somewhat responsible for Colin Kaepernick's NFL career going bonkers because
(06:29):
when Jim Harbaugh coached him in San Francisco, Colin Kaepernick
had a winning record, he played, he started a Super Bowl,
lost it against the Ravens. It was only after Jim
Harbaugh went to loggerheads with the Niner front office. As
I remember it, Harball wanted more power. The Niners didn't
(06:52):
want to give him more power. They were fighting, and
so he left after like a five hundred season. They went.
He went off to Michigan back to save Ann Arbor,
and then sucked for a few years before he put
that program back on the map. But at that point,
that was the point of demarcation where Kaepernick crossed the rubicon,
and instead of having another five or six years in
(07:13):
the NFL, he underwent a quantum leap when Jim Harball left.
He couldn't play anymore. He sucked. He was a terrible quarterback.
The last three years the Niners were eleven and twenty
four in games started by Kaepernick. He got benched in
favor of Blaine Gabbert. For God's sakes, what a bloody
mess that was. He also became radicalized. He was no
(07:35):
longer just a quarterback playing in the NFL. He was
the I hate America, I can't stand the national anthem,
I hate all cops say it was a race bader.
He became all of that. It was after Jim Harball left.
So in the multiverse there is a dimension where none
of that happens, and Kaepernick continues on in the NFL,
and who knows what we've been good or not, but
(07:56):
he would have had several more years, maybe he would
still be in the NFL as a player. But the
thing that changed was Harball left and Jim Harball very
religious man, a little father Flanning in situation here as
he's doing reputation rehab for Kaepernick, trying to clean up
the mess. Right, Remember he made him an honorary captain
for the Wolverines. I believe it was last year for
(08:19):
the spring game for Michigan. And now he's offering him
another job, which is pretty wild when you think about
Kaepernick's relationship with the NFL. He sued the NFL took
an out of court settlement. He also on a Netflix
documentary a little while back, compared the NFL to a
(08:41):
slave auction, and yet he just got offered a job
well a few months ago from Jim Harlow. Pretty crazy.
What would Kaepernick have to do to not get offered
a job in the NFL? All right now, page two,
we're gonna move away from that. And by the way,
if you if you agree with me or now, I
would like to know your thoughts on that's my theory.
(09:02):
I'm psychoanalyzing Jim Harbor Kaepernick. We're gonna move on. We
got a trade. We got a trade. Unfortunately it's a
defensive trade. Those aren't as sexy. But the New England
Patriots have said bye bye to edge rusher Matthew Judin
as he is going to the Dirty South. He's going
(09:23):
to the Atlanta Falcons. The Dirty Birds is below the
Mason Dixon line. The trade Judon in exchange for a
third round draft pick. Question, can you put a grade
on the trade of Matthew Judon from the Pats to
the Falcons? So mala report card, which is never wrong.
It's the report card record. Atlanta gets a B minus.
(09:48):
New England a C minus and they barely got a C.
Here's why. Matthew Judon is entering the final year of
his contract. He has demanded more money. He will be
third early on here at the start of the regular season.
And if you look at the computer model, though I'm
giving Atlanta a B minus, I'm gonna assume that they're
(10:10):
gonna get him a little more money sweet in the contract,
so he'll be a happy camper. And he does improve
the Dirty Birds pass rush, so there is that. And
for the Patriots, they get a C minus. I was
gonna give him a D plus. I get him a
C minus because they got rid of a malcontent who
was beefing with girod Mayo, who's appear appears to be
(10:31):
way in over his head as coach of the Patriots.
But this is one less problem, right, I got He's
got ninety nine problems, but this ain't one. And so
get rid of the player who's not happy and Judon's gone,
and you know, someone who will be washed up by
the time the Patriots are in position to have good
teams again, so you get rid of him. And but again,
(10:52):
it is a scratcher ticket, but you don't you get
a lottery ticket, but it's it's a scratcher. So the
top prize is like five hundred dollars. It's not a
powerball where you can win five hundred million. It's five
hundred dollars, all right. Now, the final point is this,
how does the Matthew Judon trade effect Hassan Reddick, who's
unhappy with the Jets. So this is a preview, as
(11:16):
they say when you go to the movies, a preview
of coming attractions. And while it's cute that Joe Douglas
the big cheese there, the big ragou with the Jets
said that franchise will not be trading Hassan Reddick. Last
I checked, and maybe I'm wrong on this. Hassan Reddick
(11:37):
is not a Hall of Famer. He's not a great great.
He's good, he's not great. He's not a generational player.
Everyone could be traded. Everyone, Joe Montana that was traded.
Tom Brady was not traded, but he left the pager
played for another team, and so the idea that the
Jets would never ever trade Hassan Reddick is farcical. So
(12:03):
it's in play, meaning that the Matthew Judan trade. If
you look at the template right, the Jets now have
the flight plan and they can send it into the
FAA on what they can expect on this flight in
return for Hassan Reddick, who is a few years younger,
(12:24):
a few years younger than Matthew Judan. So Gang Green
could get a third round pick and a conditional late
round pick for the sack Master, which is basically what
the Jets gave up to the Philadelphia football team to
get the player from these I think it was a
conditional third round pick, which it's fair to say, well,
(12:45):
not be a third round pick because Hassan Reddick has
decided to not show up to work because he wants
more money. Don't we all want more money? It is

That is at Ben Mahler if you want to be
(13:06):
part of the big radio program. We had some business
last hour. We didn't get to the bridesmaid of an
NFL trade, and we'll do another. Is it true? Is
it true that we now have proof that one human being,
just one human being, can literally save a rotting, dying
(13:30):
carcass and they're not even a doctor? What is that
all about? We will get to it and we will
do it next.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Wait rolling on coming up later this hour. Assuming there's
no pizza, we'll have Mallard of the third degree. The King.
Roy writes in says we need to hear from lifelong
diehard Charger fan Eddie Garcia and his thoughts on Colin
Kaepernick potentially becoming a coach emergency quarterback for the for
(15:34):
the Bolts. Yeah, Eddie does send a lot of his
money over to the Chargers there, so you would be
paying Kaepernick salary, Eddie if they hire him. I don't
think he's going to go there. If you wanted the job,
he would have taken the job months ago. But your money,
you know what else, you're a big winner tonight, Eddie Garcia.
Colin Kaepernick, you out not going to Charger games in protest?
(15:55):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 6 (15:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I still have to go? So I mean, what would
it take for your wife not to go? Like? Who
would they have to sign? Like?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, Wow, you don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Who's someone she really really dislikes.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But Kim Jong Un? What if he was like the
secondary coach? Would you used to go out there? That
would be something that'd be a tough one, right, you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Is he good with the Nickel defense?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I mean, well, the way the Chargers have played the
last couple years, he couldn't be even worse.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Well, defensively, does North North Korea have a good defense?
I know they claim to have a.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
New They keep people out of the country pretty well,
so that is true. That's a good defense.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, They're very disciplined. They are very disciplined. Yeah, because
if you if you step out of line, they'll feed
you to like dogs or something like that. So you
got to really pay attention. It's a big It's a
big thing there for sure. So now what do you
think of my theory? Any I psychoanalyzed Jim Harbaugh. My
theory is that Harball feel some guilt like he's responsible
(17:02):
for Kaepernick going off the deep end, that if he
had stayed with the Niners, Kaepernick would not have done
that and would still be in the NFL. But because
Harball was fighting with the front office, he left to
go to Michigan, and then you had what Jim was it?
Jim Tom Sula and then Chip Kelly were the two
coaches after Harball. Am I correct on that I think
I'm running it.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It sounds right. Well, I mean they were definitely after him.
I don't know if there was someone else we're forgetting about.
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I don't think. Yeah, Tom Sula was the guy that farted.
Remember at the news conference. That was a great night.
It was so good, so wonderful. But yeah, I think
those were the two coaches after Harbaugh. So that's that's
what I'm going with, no no thought on my my theory.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
No, I think it's possible.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I think it's possible. All right, Well I'm going with it.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yeah, yes, that was it was correct. It was Harball,
Tom Sula, Kelly and then Shanahan.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
What a great run that was with Tom Sula and
Chip Kelly. Alf the alien O Piner says, Matthew Judon
and Christian Gonzalez were the only two bright spots for
my Patriots last year. And I got hurt early in
this or they ain't got hurt early in the season,
I should say, I guess I all have to look
forward to with this season is seeing the Pats, he
(18:10):
says on the loose Change segment of Benny Versus the
Penny Travel from your Lips to their ears. Clearly, we'll
see what happens with that A Riek in Minnesota who
correctly predicted the demise of JJ McCarthy, the great sous sayer.
Maybe he's a distant relative of Nostra Damas and he
might even know no Stredinas who lives in Seattle. Lerik
(18:31):
in Minnesota. He says, like your trade grades are the gospel,
so are my monologue grades. I can only give you
a D for the last monologue. On the plus side,
I laughed that Smith Jets traded for a guy that
hopefully never plays for them. On the negative side, I
had to hear about Kaepernick again. It ain't my fault.
(18:52):
Harbaugh's the guy. It is his fault. Hertbos's the guy
that brought that up. I didn't bring it up. Hartball
brought it up. Ecan, Roseville, Minnesota, says Sam. Darnell is
an NFL quarterback. Darn Old Sam is the guy who
did the Iowa minute. Yeah, and also hec as you know,
lasted like one minute on the show. Could not handle
(19:13):
the hours. I knew right away first night he was
on the full overnight show, was freaking out, and we
knew right then Iowa Sam was not long for the overnight.
He's more of a daytime guy. Get it's not cut out,
you know, you gotta have a little edge to do.
The overnight. Not for everybody. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to hollering James, who's in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello,
(19:36):
hollering James.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Back.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, so this is where he sleeps?
Speaker 8 (19:46):
You show.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, I think yeah, that sounded like, okay, we're on
a fifty minute delay at because people say bad words.
Oh sounds like he's been possessed by a demon, a pig,
a pig demon. Just enjoy this. This is fine art.
It is as nobody does better.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
Well, I must say that his his sinuses seem to
have improved over the years.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So you know, oh, okay, spoke too soon. More of
a rumbling. There's a rumbling and he leads up. It's
like a geyser, like a volcano, you know, a volcano.
There's some kind of small volcano eruptions, and then there's
the big one or earthquakes. There are four shocks and
(20:35):
then eventually after that there you get the big one.
Years ago it was violent though, yes, yes, there was
a point that it was mustless and radio. Oh okay,
just wonderful. Come on, James, give me a Tammy and
(20:59):
Montana listening James, Tammy. She wants to hear a gigantic snort.
Come on, do it for Tammy. Oh my favorite now
is when he wakes up in the middle and he's
still asleep and he starts talking.
Speaker 3 (21:19):

Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yes, James, you sexy animal you.

Speaker 6 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Man, I mean, uh, it's a it's amazing. It's astonishing.
It's astounding that this guy can do it. It is
just the level of difficulty. Oh, he's being possessed by
the devil. The zombie is there. Oh my god, there's
a zombie and hollering James, Oh my god, you want
(22:24):
to walk back, didn't you? Coopy?
Speaker 9 (22:26):
He said a word or two I thought he he said, high, Yeah,
that is the devil.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
The spawn of the devil is here, all right, saying
this is unbelievable. Oh, this is so good. That's right.
How do you think the Vikings are gonna do James
(22:54):
this year? He really what what about the Twins. Nothing, yeah,
probably not. Yeah, they'll play the Yeah, I know they'll
play the Yankees, right, James, man, this is so amazing.
(23:19):
We're gonna lose him to Cowhard. The Cowhard shows good
to demand that he calls it. You think there's remember
that was it in Ghostbusters? There's like that gargoyle thing
that kind of took of You think there's like an
ogre in James right now? Oh yeah, you know it's
(23:39):
almost soothing. Could you imagine having this on your phone,
like as you go to sleep, to help you sleep.
Such a talent and people say call and talk radio
is dead. Listen to this? Yeah that's right, James, exactly quality.
People criticize, they chastise, they denounce, lambassed what we do here?

How can you do?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
This?

him back on hold, Thank you, james'mous I just I
(24:24):
accidentally hung up on him. Oh no, he's done, but
he'll wake up in like two hours and call back.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
He'll be like, why didn't they put me on the air?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I want to get on the air. I have somebody
to say, and I want to talk about the twins
and yeah, but you were on the on the air, James,
you were already on for like four minutes, five minutes.
Who know.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Injuries in the.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
NFL not only subject to things that happen on the field,
apparently starts hading Mark Andrews, of the Ravens, who got
hurt last year on the field, almost got hurt off
the field. I was involved in a car accident on
his the team facility Wednesday morning. But oh, apparently I
was able to escape any serious injury.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Well, we've been there, ay, both of us have been
in car accidents. I got I was in one a
few months ago. I remember that. That's great, Yeah, called
the interests. What's I had a boat? What what ocean
were you know? I was on the four to zero
five freeway. I hit a boat.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Some guy did not have his boat connected properly to
his vehicle, and they became detached.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
On the freeway. Yeah, I got hit and the guy
just kept on going.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
He's like, well, I could get in trouble for this.
I don't think I'll go I'll turn around, I'll just
keep going.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
The last accident I got into was near the Citadel
on the five, coming out of Downtown Shopping Area shopping Center,
and I stopped in time. I've been in several accents.
Three of the accidents I've been in my lifetime. I
stopped in time, but got rear ended and then hit
the car in front of me, and that that's what happened.
(25:58):
They called that a chain action. Yeah, but the good
news is the liability laws if you are the one
that got hit from and in this actually this last one,
I didn't hit the car in front of me. I
was the car that stopped. I barely missed the card
from me and then I got dinged from on the
bumper and then so yeah, there was a car in
(26:19):
the middle that got destroyed, the car that hit me.
It is the Ben Malord Show. As we continue on,
and let's have fun fun, fun fun fun malor fun
fact all right, fun fact here. Matthew Judne is the
seventh ranked player in terms of pressure rate in the
NFL the last three years, minimums seven hundred and fifty
(26:40):
pas attempts. He's number three in the NFL. I bring
that up because the Atlanta Falcons, who are actually trying
to be a good team this year. It's odd for
them to try to be a good team. But the
Falcons have the lowest pressure rate in the NFL over
the last three years, and so now they've added a
guy who's a top ten pressure defender, although it was
hurt most of last year while playing for the Patriots,
(27:01):
so he is now hanging out there in the atl
where they have a great airport. Always appreciate good airports.
I live in a city with a crappy airport, so
when you go to a good airport, you're like, well
that's pretty neat. I like good airport. Who doesn't like
good airports? This makes it easier. Everything's easier when you
have a good airport. Hey, we are big fans here

here at the at the Mothership. Just wonderful. Now, speaking
of that trade the Bridesmaid, Now we know that Judon
was traded from the Patriots to the vana Falcons, but
did you know the teams that were also bidding for
(28:29):
the services of Judon included the Chicago Bears, Dup Bears,
and the Houston Texans also made bids at the auction,
but they did not offer enough for the New Eland Patriots,
Otherwise they would have traded him to Chicago or Houston. Now,
(28:49):
there is a conspiracy theory that the reason that Texans
did not get Judon is because the Patriots are holding
a grudge because one of Bill Pelichick's disciples is running
the Texans front office. But that's for you to decide
if you want to buy that conspiracy. But either way,
there were the two runner ups to the trade of
Judaan to Atlanta. Now, this is a story that Eddie
(29:09):
Garcia gave us. He's our WNBA guy, He's the Glazer,
the schefter of the WNBA, the Indiana Fever. Eddie tells me,
that's a basketball team in the WNBA. They have released
the data behind. They call it the Caitlin Clark Effect. Now,
we pointed out there's really only one reason that the
(29:30):
numbers are up in the WIT. People all of a
sudden didn't fall in love with women's basketball. They just
Caitlin Clark's a star. People love stars, and so she's
she showed up and people are there. But the numbers
on this are insane. So far this season, the engagement
the Indiana Fever claim that the franchise growth they've seen
(29:51):
a two hundred and sixty five percent increase in attendance
they went there were literally seven people that went to
their games last year, and so they're U two and
and sixty five percent. They have seen a one thousand,
one hundred and ninety three percent increase in jersey sales
because I guess those seven people didn't buy jerseys. But wait,
there's more, the increased beer sales. That beer sales have
(30:13):
gone up seven hundred and forty percent. How about this
partnerships with the team up two hundred and twenty five percent.
Say we'll get our ven diagram out on this. The
team has added one point three million followers. They used
to have twelve followers. Now they've added one point three
million across socialta social media platforms since April fifteenth when
(30:37):
they selected Caitlin Clark and I can. I got all
kinds of numbers here. And keep in mind the team
still blows. They're under five hundred. Yeah, they played twenty
six games. As Eddie tells us, there's only fourteen to go.
He's very upset by that. Eddie's a melancholy there's only
fourteen WNBA games to go for the teams and all that.
(31:00):
It is the Ben Maler Show a lot of people
love that hollering James call. In fact, for example, some
of the reaction pulse of the people here. I thought
this take was a great take from double O Mexican.
He says, I and he's the carnival guy. He's on
that carnivore diet. He says, he thinks hollering James is
the front runner for caller of the year, but only
(31:22):
when he's sleeping. And he's he's also a front runner
for the worst call of the year when he's awake.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
So right after, right after we hung up on him, yeah,
he immediately called back and was complaining how it wasn't
fair because he was sleeping.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Uh, it wasn't fair.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Yeah, so he's on hold now, but he had to
hold you out. Eddie's update. What was that like, two
two and a half minutes, three minutes? Yeah, do you
think he's still awake?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I do not?
Speaker 6 (31:54):
I do?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
All right, shall we check, let's find out. Let's go
back to Minnesota and we say.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
Hello, name, shame, shame, puppy, shame, all the puppies. You
know your name?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Coop?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Okay, I guess he's away.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
What he's doing right now, he's validating the take from
double a Mexican. Yes, I guess he is.
Speaker 10 (32:19):
You know I happen to wake up? This should shoot
in meditation from melanoma tlotoma.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, not melanoma Melowton very different.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (32:33):
I'm not I'm not.

Speaker 10 (32:43):
What does she out with some bum like me?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Why do you go get get out like a Russian
bride or something like that?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
You do that?
Speaker 10 (32:51):
Why don't I played Russian Rouvett? Yet?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Some would say, some would say getting Some would say
getting a Russian bride would be Russian roulette? So I
mean that know?
Speaker 10 (33:01):
But you know what? But I guess shouldn't take on them?
On the twins?
Speaker 8 (33:04):
What do you think?
Speaker 10 (33:05):
Are they in the kitchen guardians or not? Why? Why
are they playing possible in the beads? And about this?
Jesse McCarthy mccarerald people, Nick, I think we should bring
Count Champernick.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
Commit this take.

Lorena and Eddie. You know I'm much two big a stars.
You know, Andy, I can't. I can't be dealing with that.
I cannot do it. We love our rapid raiders and

It's Ben Maler and here's your instat trivia. Colts quarterback
Anthony Richardson recently said that he could beat Lebron James
at blank. That is the question. What is the answer.
Let's see does anyone know the answer? Very funny from
Justin in Cincinnati. Scooby Dooby Doo from Masshole Mickey who
(36:04):

Speaker 8 (36:36):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Quickly? Please bench press bench press No. Anthony Richardson, Colts quarterback,
said he could beat Lebron James at an NBA dunk contest.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
Context It smaller. How about that to the third degree,
this is one gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
I believe Anthony Richardson because lebron wouldn't show up to
the contest. All right, what do we have here?
Speaker 9 (37:03):
A kubalu and a piece published on Tuesday, a reporter
from the Athletics suggested that Zach Wilson, Jared Stidham, and
Bow Knicks will all make the Broncos week one roster. Ben,
could you see Sean Payton keeping three quarterbacks?
Speaker 10 (37:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Because Jack Wilson sucks, so I mean you put him
on the practice squad. But they should just start bow Knicks,
go with bow bow knows, have Stidham as the backup.
It's not that hard. You want to hire me, I'll
give you free advice. I mean, by I'd like you
to pay me next.
Speaker 9 (37:32):
Former Patriots star A Sante Samuel predicted in a recent
radio appearance that Jerry Jones is already planning for the
departure of Mike McCarthy and has Bill Belichick peg to
replace him. Ben, would the Cowboys be the team that
you put your money on for Belichick next season?
Speaker 6 (37:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Because I still think the I ninety five quarter Giants
Jets one of those who or Philadelphia that the Cowboys
would be great for what we do. But yetta remember
a Sante Samuel has a bug up his took it
for Belichick. He hates Belichick. And because there's a lot
of reasons why we don't have time to get into it.
But I would put the Jets, Giants, and Eagles ahead
(38:09):
of the Cowboys on my big board right next.
Speaker 9 (38:11):
In the past, Matthew Stafford has said that he doesn't
want to be one of those players that goes until
the wheels fall off. Well, this week he revealed that
he would like to play another three or four years.
Do you think the wheels fall off in that time?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Well, great timing coup, because as you asked me this question,
Stafford left Rams practice on Wednesday with a tight hamstring.
So yes, he's not gonna play another three or four years.
He's got to play another couple of years because he's
got guaranteed money at least this year, and the Rams
can get out of the contract after this year. How
did wait? Now you pass the seditions?
Speaker 7 (38:42):
That is all I've got
Speaker 1 (38:43):
The game I want you, James Hollowing, James
Hello and welcome. It's our NWN number two. Here we
go in our number two. You have a front row
seat as Jim Harbaugh has announced that Colin Kaepernick was
offered a job and he's considering joining the Charger coaching staff.
Is there more to this story? I'm going to psycho
analyze Colin Kaepernick and Jim Harbaugh also put a grade
(00:24):
on the Patriots trade of Matthew Judan to the Falcons.
And how does the Judaan trade effect Hassan Reddick and
his plight to take a flight out of the Jets camp.
He's on standby for that. We'll get to all of it. Also,
a tradition continues wait till you hear our brief conversation
(00:46):
with hollering James. It's a classic moment on the show
and likely we'll be remembered when we do the Bennies
in early twenty twenty five. But here it is our
number two, sending shockwaves.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Wel come, in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, BFFs
as we ruffle feathers coast to coast, port of the.
Speaker 1 (01:18):

I think we took about ten thousand calls from Jerome
and Charleston, and then all of a sudden he stopped calling,
and you wonder what happened? Did something happen to him?
(02:02):
Is you all right? Did he get upset with the show?
Did he? I don't know. You never know, You never
know the answer. Anyway, our lead this hour from the Bolts.
We're going right to the ball. Play the hits. Ball Man,
play the hits. I will play the hits. It's also
the third railball Man, third rail. So Jim Harbaugh making headlines?
(02:23):
What did he do? This does not have anything to
do with Michigan? Did you hear? You did not hear? Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Good?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So we have learned that the Chargers head football coach
Jim Harbaugh has made a proposal. He's made an offer
to Colin Kaepernick. Is Colin Kaepernick could have joined the
Chargers as a player. No, Jim Harbaugh has offered Colin
Kaepernick hasn't played in the NFL in seven years a
(02:54):
job as a coach. Say what Yeah, recent interview Harball quote,
we talked a little bit about it. He's considering it.
Harbaugh said of the interesting Colin Kaepernick, he was out
of the country, which he was. He was interviewed by
(03:14):
Sky News in Paris this week and Harball also said
that Kaepernick told him he was going to get back
to him. They have not reconnected since that point. He
was singing the praises of his former quarterback. Harbaugh said
he'd be a tremendous coach. Says again, he's waiting to
(03:37):
hear back. All right. So the question, as we discussed
Jim Harbaugh announcing that Colin Kaepernick is considering he has
an offer, a standing offer to join the Chargers organization
as a coach. Is there more to this story? So
I've got confessional, powerball, and flight plant, and we're going
(03:59):
to combine all of these things together and we are
going to avoid goose pimples. That's what we're gonna avoid
son burn. Yes, number one. Now, this is a tupperware story.
That's what I'm gonna put it as a tupperware story.
Let me tell you why. Meaning it's like the leftover
(04:19):
spaghetti or the leftover Chinese food in the back of
your refrigerator. Because Jim Harbaugh reached out to Colin Kaepernick
back in January or February about potentially becoming a coach,
and he is still waiting for an answer. Now, maybe
(04:41):
you are challenged by the calendar, but today is the
fifteenth day of August, as we are doing the show today,
so it's the fifteenth day of August. This offer came
back in like February, let's say, and he's still waiting.
So what does that tell us? It's a dead do it?
(05:02):
Colin Kaepernick has ghosted Jim Harbaugh. He has since Harball
offered Kaepernick a job. From Harball's own words, training camp
has started. Off season workouts obviously have come and gone.
Training camp started, exhibition games have been played the NFL
season while it gets started in a few weeks the
(05:24):
real season for all intensive purposes, it is underway right now.
Jobs have already been filled and Kaepernick just did an
interview with Sky Sports where he said he wants to
still play. Doesn't that tell you he's not taking this job?
But for me, the dynamic between Harbaugh and Kaepernick is
(05:46):
the story here. That's the story. That's the there there,
if you will, as we psychoanalyze, and when you become
a gas bag, you have to you have to be
a bit of a shrink. So my theory and I
want to pitch this to you. I'm gonna make my
elevator pitch. It's an original take. I want to see
if you buy it. Okay, here's my theory. And I
(06:07):
had this as I was walking into the studio to
do the show. Jim Harball, this is a confessional. He
feels guilt now for what you ask. Jim Harbaugh feels
somewhat responsible for Colin Kaepernick's NFL career going bonkers because
(06:29):
when Jim Harbaugh coached him in San Francisco, Colin Kaepernick
had a winning record, he played, he started a Super Bowl,
lost it against the Ravens. It was only after Jim
Harbaugh went to loggerheads with the Niner front office. As
I remember it, Harball wanted more power. The Niners didn't
(06:52):
want to give him more power. They were fighting, and
so he left after like a five hundred season. They went.
He went off to Michigan back to save Ann Arbor,
and then sucked for a few years before he put
that program back on the map. But at that point,
that was the point of demarcation where Kaepernick crossed the rubicon,
and instead of having another five or six years in
(07:13):
the NFL, he underwent a quantum leap when Jim Harball left.
He couldn't play anymore. He sucked. He was a terrible quarterback.
The last three years the Niners were eleven and twenty
four in games started by Kaepernick. He got benched in
favor of Blaine Gabbert. For God's sakes, what a bloody
mess that was. He also became radicalized. He was no
(07:35):
longer just a quarterback playing in the NFL. He was
the I hate America, I can't stand the national anthem,
I hate all cops say it was a race bader.
He became all of that. It was after Jim Harball left.
So in the multiverse there is a dimension where none
of that happens, and Kaepernick continues on in the NFL,
and who knows what we've been good or not, but
(07:56):
he would have had several more years, maybe he would
still be in the NFL as a player. But the
thing that changed was Harball left and Jim Harball very
religious man, a little father Flanning in situation here as
he's doing reputation rehab for Kaepernick, trying to clean up
the mess. Right, Remember he made him an honorary captain
for the Wolverines. I believe it was last year for
(08:19):
the spring game for Michigan. And now he's offering him
another job, which is pretty wild when you think about
Kaepernick's relationship with the NFL. He sued the NFL took
an out of court settlement. He also on a Netflix
documentary a little while back, compared the NFL to a
(08:41):
slave auction, and yet he just got offered a job
well a few months ago from Jim Harlow. Pretty crazy.
What would Kaepernick have to do to not get offered
a job in the NFL? All right now, page two,
we're gonna move away from that. And by the way,
if you if you agree with me or now, I
would like to know your thoughts on that's my theory.
(09:02):
I'm psychoanalyzing Jim Harbor Kaepernick. We're gonna move on. We
got a trade. We got a trade. Unfortunately it's a
defensive trade. Those aren't as sexy. But the New England
Patriots have said bye bye to edge rusher Matthew Judin
as he is going to the Dirty South. He's going
(09:23):
to the Atlanta Falcons. The Dirty Birds is below the
Mason Dixon line. The trade Judon in exchange for a
third round draft pick. Question, can you put a grade
on the trade of Matthew Judon from the Pats to
the Falcons? So mala report card, which is never wrong.
It's the report card record. Atlanta gets a B minus.
(09:48):
New England a C minus and they barely got a C.
Here's why. Matthew Judon is entering the final year of
his contract. He has demanded more money. He will be
third early on here at the start of the regular season.
And if you look at the computer model, though I'm
giving Atlanta a B minus, I'm gonna assume that they're
(10:10):
gonna get him a little more money sweet in the contract,
so he'll be a happy camper. And he does improve
the Dirty Birds pass rush, so there is that. And
for the Patriots, they get a C minus. I was
gonna give him a D plus. I get him a
C minus because they got rid of a malcontent who
was beefing with girod Mayo, who's appear appears to be
(10:31):
way in over his head as coach of the Patriots.
But this is one less problem, right, I got He's
got ninety nine problems, but this ain't one. And so
get rid of the player who's not happy and Judon's gone,
and you know, someone who will be washed up by
the time the Patriots are in position to have good
teams again, so you get rid of him. And but again,
(10:52):
it is a scratcher ticket, but you don't you get
a lottery ticket, but it's it's a scratcher. So the
top prize is like five hundred dollars. It's not a
powerball where you can win five hundred million. It's five
hundred dollars, all right. Now, the final point is this,
how does the Matthew Judon trade effect Hassan Reddick, who's
unhappy with the Jets. So this is a preview, as
(11:16):
they say when you go to the movies, a preview
of coming attractions. And while it's cute that Joe Douglas
the big cheese there, the big ragou with the Jets
said that franchise will not be trading Hassan Reddick. Last
I checked, and maybe I'm wrong on this. Hassan Reddick
(11:37):
is not a Hall of Famer. He's not a great great.
He's good, he's not great. He's not a generational player.
Everyone could be traded. Everyone, Joe Montana that was traded.
Tom Brady was not traded, but he left the pager
played for another team, and so the idea that the
Jets would never ever trade Hassan Reddick is farcical. So
(12:03):
it's in play, meaning that the Matthew Judan trade. If
you look at the template right, the Jets now have
the flight plan and they can send it into the
FAA on what they can expect on this flight in
return for Hassan Reddick, who is a few years younger,
(12:24):
a few years younger than Matthew Judan. So Gang Green
could get a third round pick and a conditional late
round pick for the sack Master, which is basically what
the Jets gave up to the Philadelphia football team to
get the player from these I think it was a
conditional third round pick, which it's fair to say, well,
(12:45):
not be a third round pick because Hassan Reddick has
decided to not show up to work because he wants
more money. Don't we all want more money? It is

NFL trade, and we'll do another. Is it true? Is
it true that we now have proof that one human being,
just one human being, can literally save a rotting, dying
(13:30):
carcass and they're not even a doctor? What is that
all about? We will get to it and we will

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Wait rolling on coming up later this hour. Assuming there's
no pizza, we'll have Mallard of the third degree. The King.
Roy writes in says we need to hear from lifelong
diehard Charger fan Eddie Garcia and his thoughts on Colin
Kaepernick potentially becoming a coach emergency quarterback for the for
(15:34):
the Bolts. Yeah, Eddie does send a lot of his
money over to the Chargers there, so you would be
paying Kaepernick salary, Eddie if they hire him. I don't
think he's going to go there. If you wanted the job,
he would have taken the job months ago. But your money,
you know what else, you're a big winner tonight, Eddie Garcia.
Colin Kaepernick, you out not going to Charger games in protest?
(15:55):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 6 (15:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I still have to go? So I mean, what would
it take for your wife not to go? Like? Who
would they have to sign? Like?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, Wow, you don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Who's someone she really really dislikes.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But Kim Jong Un? What if he was like the
secondary coach? Would you used to go out there? That
would be something that'd be a tough one, right, you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Is he good with the Nickel defense?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I mean, well, the way the Chargers have played the
last couple years, he couldn't be even worse.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Well, defensively, does North North Korea have a good defense?
I know they claim to have a.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
New They keep people out of the country pretty well,
so that is true. That's a good defense.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, They're very disciplined. They are very disciplined. Yeah, because
if you if you step out of line, they'll feed
you to like dogs or something like that. So you
got to really pay attention. It's a big It's a
big thing there for sure. So now what do you
think of my theory? Any I psychoanalyzed Jim Harbaugh. My
theory is that Harball feel some guilt like he's responsible
(17:02):
for Kaepernick going off the deep end, that if he
had stayed with the Niners, Kaepernick would not have done
that and would still be in the NFL. But because
Harball was fighting with the front office, he left to
go to Michigan, and then you had what Jim was it?
Jim Tom Sula and then Chip Kelly were the two
coaches after Harball. Am I correct on that I think
I'm running it.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It sounds right. Well, I mean they were definitely after him.
I don't know if there was someone else we're forgetting about.
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I don't think. Yeah, Tom Sula was the guy that farted.
Remember at the news conference. That was a great night.
It was so good, so wonderful. But yeah, I think
those were the two coaches after Harbaugh. So that's that's
what I'm going with, no no thought on my my theory.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
No, I think it's possible.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I think it's possible. All right, Well I'm going with it.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yeah, yes, that was it was correct. It was Harball,
Tom Sula, Kelly and then Shanahan.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
What a great run that was with Tom Sula and
Chip Kelly. Alf the alien O Piner says, Matthew Judon
and Christian Gonzalez were the only two bright spots for
my Patriots last year. And I got hurt early in
this or they ain't got hurt early in the season,
I should say, I guess I all have to look
forward to with this season is seeing the Pats, he
(18:10):
says on the loose Change segment of Benny Versus the
Penny Travel from your Lips to their ears. Clearly, we'll
see what happens with that A Riek in Minnesota who
correctly predicted the demise of JJ McCarthy, the great sous sayer.
Maybe he's a distant relative of Nostra Damas and he
might even know no Stredinas who lives in Seattle. Lerik
(18:31):
in Minnesota. He says, like your trade grades are the gospel,
so are my monologue grades. I can only give you
a D for the last monologue. On the plus side,
I laughed that Smith Jets traded for a guy that
hopefully never plays for them. On the negative side, I
had to hear about Kaepernick again. It ain't my fault.
(18:52):
Harbaugh's the guy. It is his fault. Hertbos's the guy
that brought that up. I didn't bring it up. Hartball
brought it up. Ecan, Roseville, Minnesota, says Sam. Darnell is
an NFL quarterback. Darn Old Sam is the guy who
did the Iowa minute. Yeah, and also hec as you know,
lasted like one minute on the show. Could not handle
(19:13):
the hours. I knew right away first night he was
on the full overnight show, was freaking out, and we
knew right then Iowa Sam was not long for the overnight.
He's more of a daytime guy. Get it's not cut out,
you know, you gotta have a little edge to do.
The overnight. Not for everybody. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to hollering James, who's in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello,
(19:36):
hollering James.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Back.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, so this is where he sleeps?
Speaker 8 (19:46):
You show.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, I think yeah, that sounded like, okay, we're on
a fifty minute delay at because people say bad words.
Oh sounds like he's been possessed by a demon, a pig,
a pig demon. Just enjoy this. This is fine art.
It is as nobody does better.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
Well, I must say that his his sinuses seem to
have improved over the years.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So you know, oh, okay, spoke too soon. More of
a rumbling. There's a rumbling and he leads up. It's
like a geyser, like a volcano, you know, a volcano.
There's some kind of small volcano eruptions, and then there's
the big one or earthquakes. There are four shocks and
(20:35):
then eventually after that there you get the big one.
Years ago it was violent though, yes, yes, there was
a point that it was mustless and radio. Oh okay,
just wonderful. Come on, James, give me a Tammy and
(20:59):
Montana listening James, Tammy. She wants to hear a gigantic snort.
Come on, do it for Tammy. Oh my favorite now
is when he wakes up in the middle and he's
still asleep and he starts talking.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
James.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yes, James, you sexy animal you.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Oh yeah, my guy, man, Jesus, that is my guy. Eddie.
Oh that just really storm down, man. Yeah, no, this
(21:54):
is quality, bro, every woman wants.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Man, I mean, uh, it's a it's amazing. It's astonishing.
It's astounding that this guy can do it. It is
just the level of difficulty. Oh, he's being possessed by
the devil. The zombie is there. Oh my god, there's
a zombie and hollering James, Oh my god, you want
(22:24):
to walk back, didn't you? Coopy?
Speaker 9 (22:26):
He said a word or two I thought he he said, high, Yeah,
that is the devil.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
The spawn of the devil is here, all right, saying
this is unbelievable. Oh, this is so good. That's right.
How do you think the Vikings are gonna do James
(22:54):
this year? He really what what about the Twins. Nothing, yeah,
probably not. Yeah, they'll play the Yeah, I know they'll
play the Yankees, right, James, man, this is so amazing.
(23:19):
We're gonna lose him to Cowhard. The Cowhard shows good
to demand that he calls it. You think there's remember
that was it in Ghostbusters? There's like that gargoyle thing
that kind of took of You think there's like an
ogre in James right now? Oh yeah, you know it's
(23:39):
almost soothing. Could you imagine having this on your phone,
like as you go to sleep, to help you sleep.
Such a talent and people say call and talk radio
is dead. Listen to this? Yeah that's right, James, exactly quality.
People criticize, they chastise, they denounce, lambassed what we do here?
(24:00):
How can you do?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
This?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Is? How much fun is this? We're getting paid to
listen to a guy's sleep. This is wonderful, right, James, James,
you're alive? James James, are you alive? Okay? All right? Whoa,
that was a big one. We'll put him back, put
him back on hold, Thank you, james'mous I just I
(24:24):
accidentally hung up on him. Oh no, he's done, but
he'll wake up in like two hours and call back.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
He'll be like, why didn't they put me on the air?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I want to get on the air. I have somebody
to say, and I want to talk about the twins
and yeah, but you were on the on the air, James,
you were already on for like four minutes, five minutes.
Who know.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Injuries in the.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
NFL not only subject to things that happen on the field,
apparently starts hading Mark Andrews, of the Ravens, who got
hurt last year on the field, almost got hurt off
the field. I was involved in a car accident on
his the team facility Wednesday morning. But oh, apparently I
was able to escape any serious injury.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Well, we've been there, ay, both of us have been
in car accidents. I got I was in one a
few months ago. I remember that. That's great, Yeah, called
the interests. What's I had a boat? What what ocean
were you know? I was on the four to zero
five freeway. I hit a boat.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Some guy did not have his boat connected properly to
his vehicle, and they became detached.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
On the freeway. Yeah, I got hit and the guy
just kept on going.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
He's like, well, I could get in trouble for this.
I don't think I'll go I'll turn around, I'll just
keep going.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
The last accident I got into was near the Citadel
on the five, coming out of Downtown Shopping Area shopping Center,
and I stopped in time. I've been in several accents.
Three of the accidents I've been in my lifetime. I
stopped in time, but got rear ended and then hit
the car in front of me, and that that's what happened.
(25:58):
They called that a chain action. Yeah, but the good
news is the liability laws if you are the one
that got hit from and in this actually this last one,
I didn't hit the car in front of me. I
was the car that stopped. I barely missed the card
from me and then I got dinged from on the
bumper and then so yeah, there was a car in
(26:19):
the middle that got destroyed, the car that hit me.
It is the Ben Malord Show. As we continue on,
and let's have fun fun, fun fun fun malor fun
fact all right, fun fact here. Matthew Judne is the
seventh ranked player in terms of pressure rate in the
NFL the last three years, minimums seven hundred and fifty
(26:40):
pas attempts. He's number three in the NFL. I bring
that up because the Atlanta Falcons, who are actually trying
to be a good team this year. It's odd for
them to try to be a good team. But the
Falcons have the lowest pressure rate in the NFL over
the last three years, and so now they've added a
guy who's a top ten pressure defender, although it was
hurt most of last year while playing for the Patriots,
(27:01):
so he is now hanging out there in the atl
where they have a great airport. Always appreciate good airports.
I live in a city with a crappy airport, so
when you go to a good airport, you're like, well
that's pretty neat. I like good airport. Who doesn't like
good airports? This makes it easier. Everything's easier when you
have a good airport. Hey, we are big fans here
(27:23):
at the station of Rapid Radios. We love these rapid radios,
the official communication device of Fox Sports Radio. Rapid radios

(28:05):
the Mariner fans going to be in next week, We'll
show them where the rapid radios are. Just we're not lying.
They're right there, big table of them, like the most
rapid radios you could possibly have. We've got them right
here at the at the Mothership. Just wonderful. Now, speaking
of that trade the Bridesmaid, Now we know that Judon
was traded from the Patriots to the vana Falcons, but
did you know the teams that were also bidding for
(28:29):
the services of Judon included the Chicago Bears, Dup Bears,
and the Houston Texans also made bids at the auction,
but they did not offer enough for the New Eland Patriots,
Otherwise they would have traded him to Chicago or Houston. Now,
(28:49):
there is a conspiracy theory that the reason that Texans
did not get Judon is because the Patriots are holding
a grudge because one of Bill Pelichick's disciples is running
the Texans front office. But that's for you to decide
if you want to buy that conspiracy. But either way,
there were the two runner ups to the trade of
Judaan to Atlanta. Now, this is a story that Eddie
(29:09):
Garcia gave us. He's our WNBA guy, He's the Glazer,
the schefter of the WNBA, the Indiana Fever. Eddie tells me,
that's a basketball team in the WNBA. They have released
the data behind. They call it the Caitlin Clark Effect. Now,
we pointed out there's really only one reason that the
(29:30):
numbers are up in the WIT. People all of a
sudden didn't fall in love with women's basketball. They just
Caitlin Clark's a star. People love stars, and so she's
she showed up and people are there. But the numbers
on this are insane. So far this season, the engagement
the Indiana Fever claim that the franchise growth they've seen
(29:51):
a two hundred and sixty five percent increase in attendance
they went there were literally seven people that went to
their games last year, and so they're U two and
and sixty five percent. They have seen a one thousand,
one hundred and ninety three percent increase in jersey sales
because I guess those seven people didn't buy jerseys. But wait,
there's more, the increased beer sales. That beer sales have
(30:13):
gone up seven hundred and forty percent. How about this
partnerships with the team up two hundred and twenty five percent.
Say we'll get our ven diagram out on this. The
team has added one point three million followers. They used
to have twelve followers. Now they've added one point three
million across socialta social media platforms since April fifteenth when
(30:37):
they selected Caitlin Clark and I can. I got all
kinds of numbers here. And keep in mind the team
still blows. They're under five hundred. Yeah, they played twenty
six games. As Eddie tells us, there's only fourteen to go.
He's very upset by that. Eddie's a melancholy there's only
fourteen WNBA games to go for the teams and all that.
(31:00):
It is the Ben Maler Show a lot of people
love that hollering James call. In fact, for example, some
of the reaction pulse of the people here. I thought
this take was a great take from double O Mexican.
He says, I and he's the carnival guy. He's on
that carnivore diet. He says, he thinks hollering James is
the front runner for caller of the year, but only
(31:22):
when he's sleeping. And he's he's also a front runner
for the worst call of the year when he's awake.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
So right after, right after we hung up on him, yeah,
he immediately called back and was complaining how it wasn't
fair because he was sleeping.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Uh, it wasn't fair.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Yeah, so he's on hold now, but he had to
hold you out. Eddie's update. What was that like, two
two and a half minutes, three minutes? Yeah, do you
think he's still awake?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I do not?
Speaker 6 (31:54):
I do?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
All right, shall we check, let's find out. Let's go
back to Minnesota and we say.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
Hello, name, shame, shame, puppy, shame, all the puppies. You
know your name?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Coop?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Okay, I guess he's away.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
What he's doing right now, he's validating the take from
double a Mexican. Yes, I guess he is.
Speaker 10 (32:19):
You know I happen to wake up? This should shoot
in meditation from melanoma tlotoma.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, not melanoma Melowton very different.

Why don't I played Russian Rouvett? Yet?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Some would say, some would say getting Some would say
getting a Russian bride would be Russian roulette? So I
mean that know?
Speaker 10 (33:01):
But you know what? But I guess shouldn't take on them?
On the twins?
Speaker 8 (33:04):

Speaker 10 (33:05):
Are they in the kitchen guardians or not? Why? Why
are they playing possible in the beads? And about this?

Speaker 1 (35:42):
It's Ben Maler and here's your instat trivia. Colts quarterback
Anthony Richardson recently said that he could beat Lebron James
at blank. That is the question. What is the answer.
Let's see does anyone know the answer? Very funny from
Justin in Cincinnati. Scooby Dooby Doo from Masshole Mickey who
(36:04):
drove ninety minutes for the malor of mini meet and greet.
There the flash mob meet and greet back on was
it Friday? I think last Friday? Cowboy Killer says Monopoly
chemical experiments from Late Night Drug Tester, First celebrity Crush
Mother Teresa from ferg Dog Pillow Fighting Guests by Alf
(36:27):
the Alien Opiner Curling from Eloy in Compton. Who else
do we have? Steven Stampcos from shanean Morning, All right,
what's say you?
Speaker 8 (36:36):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Quickly? Please bench press bench press No. Anthony Richardson, Colts quarterback,
said he could beat Lebron James at an NBA dunk contest.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
Context It smaller. How about that to the third degree,
this is one gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
I believe Anthony Richardson because lebron wouldn't show up to
the contest. All right, what do we have here?
Speaker 9 (37:03):
A kubalu and a piece published on Tuesday, a reporter
from the Athletics suggested that Zach Wilson, Jared Stidham, and
Bow Knicks will all make the Broncos week one roster. Ben,
could you see Sean Payton keeping three quarterbacks?
Speaker 10 (37:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Because Jack Wilson sucks, so I mean you put him
on the practice squad. But they should just start bow Knicks,
go with bow bow knows, have Stidham as the backup.
It's not that hard. You want to hire me, I'll
give you free advice. I mean, by I'd like you
to pay me next.
Speaker 9 (37:32):
Former Patriots star A Sante Samuel predicted in a recent
radio appearance that Jerry Jones is already planning for the
departure of Mike McCarthy and has Bill Belichick peg to
replace him. Ben, would the Cowboys be the team that
you put your money on for Belichick next season?
Speaker 6 (37:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Because I still think the I ninety five quarter Giants
Jets one of those who or Philadelphia that the Cowboys
would be great for what we do. But yetta remember
a Sante Samuel has a bug up his took it
for Belichick. He hates Belichick. And because there's a lot
of reasons why we don't have time to get into it.
But I would put the Jets, Giants, and Eagles ahead
(38:09):
of the Cowboys on my big board right next.
Speaker 9 (38:11):
In the past, Matthew Stafford has said that he doesn't
want to be one of those players that goes until
the wheels fall off. Well, this week he revealed that
he would like to play another three or four years.
Do you think the wheels fall off in that time?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Well, great timing coup, because as you asked me this question,
Stafford left Rams practice on Wednesday with a tight hamstring.
So yes, he's not gonna play another three or four years.
He's got to play another couple of years because he's
got guaranteed money at least this year, and the Rams
can get out of the contract after this year. How
did wait? Now you pass the seditions?
Speaker 7 (38:42):
That is all I've got
Speaker 1 (38:43):
The game I want you, James Hollowing, James
