down on Deshaun Watson having a burner account.

It's the hour of the creepy Quarterback.

Deshaun Watson's latest troubles and do you buy the Browns

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Anthony and Anaheim begged me ten thousand times to do
a birthday shout out. It's his birthday today, but I
let him know we don't do shoutouts. We're not a
morning zoos show. We get paid as an overnight show.
If we get a morning show, we will do shout
outs or an afternoon show.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So sorry, sucker, Anthony and I would.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Never give you a shout out, Anthony and Anaheim, because
I know your wife hates the show, and your kids
I don't think are old enough to qualify for ratings purposes.
But I digress, all right, So our lead this hour
from Cleveland, Ohio. Oh yeah, the obligatory mal monologue on
everyone's favorite happy baby yoga quarterback.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
This Hour, the Creepy Quarterback.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Latest information, The NFL is reviewing the new allegation accusing
the Browns franchise player Deshaun Watson of inappropriate hanky panky
and the assault battery claim.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's a civil lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Now we are told the league is not considering placing
him on the Commissioner's exemp list. There are no formal
criminal charges. It is again purely a civil case. So
the punishment is to have the Browns have to play
to Shaun Watson. That would be the punishment of the
biggest plot twist which I had been obsessed with. I
(03:00):
spent a good chunk of my day falling down a
rabbit hole in the micro blogging world. Now you might
know where I'm going with this, but maybe you haven't
been paying attention and you don't know where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So let me let me allow you to come to
my world if you missed it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
So now Deshaun Watson not only is accused of being
the creepy quarterback Times twenty five, but Watson is now
being accused of creating wait for it, wait for it,
a fake social media account to defend his pathetic play
over the weekend. Yes, to defend his pathetic play over
(03:43):
the weekend, he has created a social media account. So
I I was tipped off to this radio buddy of
mine said, hey, you're not gonna get a text. You're
not gonna believe this. You know, anytime I get a text,
you're not gonna believe this.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I'm like, okay, I'm interesting. What happened? All right?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So and then I see the the tweets and the comments,
and I'm like, okay, So Watson's the cues of creating
a fake social media account. Internet sluice believe that X
user I love this name, Lee Roy bicker Staff is
really Deshaun Watson incognito. Say what, yes, Lee Roy bicker Staff. Now,
(04:28):
the account has passionately been standing up to the honor
of Deshaun Watson to the point where it just does
not pass the smell test. So let us discuss the
question thumbs up or thumbs down to the concept of
(04:49):
Deshaun Watson having a burner account on x to defend
his honor. So I've got Stealth, Bomber, beach Cruise, and billboard,
and we will combine all of these things together and
speak our mind.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Is what we're going to do. So number yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
To answer the question thumbs up thumbs down, I'm going two.
Two thumbs up is how I'm going to answer this. Now,
we did activate the MIIB, and that's not men in Black.
The MIIB is the Malor Investigative Bureau, and the Malor
Investigative Bureau.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
After eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Long investigation, we believe it is beyond a reasonable doubt
that it is either Deshaun Watson or a relative of
Deshaun Watson. The scale is leading towards Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Now, one thing I have noticed from years.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
On the bully pulpit, behind the microphone, sweating over the
bright lights of the on air light. Most of these
famous people, I say that in your quotes famous people
are not exactly tough cookies. Some of them pretend to
be right, some of them pretend to be But the
famous people, a lot of them think they're James Bond
(06:14):
with these burner accounts.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Doing undercover work.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Spoiler alert, spoiler alert, you're not right, You're not Now
most of them get exposed. Shout out Kevin Durant. In
this case, Deshaun Watson. I'm convinced based on the comments
that were posted from the account from Leroy bickerstaff.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
O God, I.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Am convinced that Watson thought he was flying a stealth bomber,
that no one would be able to figure out that
this was Deshaun Watson, and yet he actually was flying
around in a good Year blimp advertising that he was
Deshaun Watson. This account, based on my investigation the Malther
(07:05):
Investigator Bureau, this had all the telltale signs Now, let.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Me give you my evidence.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm gonna make my elevator pitch to you, and then
you can tell me whether or not you believe the case.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
So I'm gonna give you the evidence. You're the judge.
You decide.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So the first thing that stood out like a throbbing thumb,
it was a fresh account. The account was started this month.
You were in the month of September twenty twenty four,
so it's a brand new account. The first activity was
on Sunday, right after the Browns were punched in the
Solar Plexus by the Dallas Cowboys, So no effort to
(07:44):
hide it, no effort to camelflage it. And then you
look at the name Leroy Bickerstaff. If you were to
come up with a name, let's come up with a
burner account.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I don't know what name. I don't Why don't we
use the.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Last name of the old Cavaliers coach bicker Staff And
then we'll just throw Leroy in there and no one
will know who that is. Now one one agenda, one
trick pony here or one pose the happy baby yoga
pose well, Deshaun Watson lingo.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
So the only.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Effort of the account has been to post comments the
Sunday hours after and really shortly after the Browns Cowboys game,
and then on Monday defending Deshaun Watson. Now NFL teams
have Tuesday off. There was no content. I didn't see
anything on Tuesday, so he probably forgot about it because
he was out doing stuff. But the account, among other things,
(08:43):
blamed the offensive line. Brown said some guys out. He
blamed the offensive line, blamed the play calling, which is
the head coach Kevin Stefanski who's running the offense there.
And the account, the Leroy bicker Staff account claimed that
those things are holding number four back from his greatness
the franchise, making one of the all time greats look
(09:04):
bad was another post. Now we know that Watson is
thin skin, and we know this from firsthand experience.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
If you're new to the show, there.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Is a past before Deshaun Watson was the creepy quarterback.
He was an Eagle scout. He was beloved by everybody
when he played at Clemson. He's also very thin skin.
And we had a back and forth based on some
comments that were made on this show that were repeated
on social media, and Watson searched his name, he came
(09:36):
across my name.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
We then got into a.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Rhubarb before he was in the NFL with the Houston Texans,
in between the time he was at Clemson and going
to the Texans, as I remember it. So things that
make you go hmm, it's unmistaked, but thin skin guy.
No one's defending Watson.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Why would you?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And all of a sudden He's like, Okay, you know
I can't do this on my own account, So I'm
gonna make a burner account and.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
No one will ever know. No one will ever know.
Right now, page two, give me your reaction to the.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
NFL's response to Deshaun Watson's latest legal rhubarb.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So the NFL's response here was a shoulder shrug. I
don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Uh to say they are extremely cautious a slight understatement.
For years, the NFL ruled with an iron fist, and
now they have done a one tot eighty. They've gone
the opposite direction. To forget about the Autobahn. They are
driving a beach cruiser, not an electric beach cruiser. They're
driving a beach cruiser with a flat tire, enjoying a
(10:45):
lazy Sunday drive and they're blocking traffic and all that
just waiting for Watson to pay more hush money and
then they can get back to siphoning money from you
and me and all the different NFL products that they
have there that you must pay, You must pay for
all right now, final point, there is a Deshaun Watson
(11:08):
conspiracy theory aside.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
From the burner account that is making the rounds. Several
of you sent this to me.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It goes something like this that the Cleveland football team
let the cat out of the bag, with the cat
out of the bag on the latest lawsuit in order
to hit to facilitate the eject button, to hit the
eject button on the Deshaun Watson contract. Do you buy
(11:36):
the Browns leaking the latest Deshaun Watson lawsuit in a
strategic move to weaponize the lawsuit. So I looked this
over and I see no evidence of this.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I was kind of.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Hoping that would be true because it would actually make
the Browns look pretty good, But I don't see that.
And the main reason I don't see that is because
of the roadside billboard. The head of the snake involved
in this latest lawsuit is an old friend. Now, I
don't know this guy in real life, but he's provided
me a lot of content over the years. Your favorite
(12:10):
billboard ambulance chasing lawyer, better known as Tony Musby, a
prominent and boisterous, over the top Houston attorney right out
of Central casting for a bigger than life Texas attorney
who is representing the latest accuser. He's represented almost all
of the other women that accused de Sean Watson of
(12:30):
inappropriate activity. He's also a former Houston mayoral candidate who
once put up billboards around Houston so the Texans would
draft Johnny Manzel.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That did not work out.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
So this guy's a legendary attention horror who does have
an addiction problem. He's addicted to the microphone, the camera,
and the bright lights. He's never met a camera that
he didn't like to my knowledge. He's also got this
megaphone and he's out there. He's always bark quotes and
all that. The other element to the story, the reason
(13:04):
not to believe that the Browns were the ones that
leaked the story. Not only do you have Tony Buzby,
this big, bigger than life attorney, but you also have
Jimmy Haslam, the owner of the Browns and his.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Toadies, who appear to be completely clueless.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
So despite that, I do believe the Brownies are not
upset the story is out.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They'd like the NFL to do something.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They didn't throw the latest giant mudball, but they're not
against it. They're like, well, it kind of helps us out,
and it's like they didn't really have a problem with
the other twenty four cases, but this one, this is
the straw that broke the camel's back. It is the
Ben Malord Show. If you would like to be part,
(13:45):
you can join us here. Speakeasy rules are in effect,
but there's a line open. We'll try to get through
some more calls here. Such a wonderful start with hollering
James last Hour. Also on X at Ben Mahlor. That
is at Ben Mahlor, if you'd like to be part.
And yeah, there's been a lot of change, a lot
(14:05):
of changes to baseball over the years.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
We've got the ghost runner.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Now, we've got the no intentional walk, just go down
to first base. We've got no takeout slides at home
plate or at second base.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
There's a lot of stupid rules in baseball.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, Baseball now planning their next strategy change. What is
the next strategy strategy change from Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
We'll get to that and we will do it next.

the microphones. You can follow your host on x He's
at Ben Mahler and you can post at and follow
our executive producer. He is manning the phones. He's the
person you talk to if you want to call in
on the show. But he's more than just a call screener.
He is the liar, liar, and the menace of the
Fox Sports Radio network. It's the Coop the Loop, Justin
(15:39):
Cooper and he's at U H. Bronco fan and alive
from the tyrac dot com Fox Sports Radio studios. It's
Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Rolling, rolling on through the overnight hours.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Listener Josh writes in he want to file a complaint
on the who am I? Game? Josh questioning the integrity
of the who am I game, saying that Tony Graziani
started a game in nineteen ninety seven and averaged one
point three yards per pest.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That is absolutely true. He's calling ps. Here's the problem, Josh.
That was not his first game. So bad job by you,
Bad job by you. You're going to the penalty box.
That's a two minute a minor penalty for Josh. Shame
on you.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
The question was who averaged the fewest yards in their
first start as an NFL player minimum ten pass attempts?
Quincy Carter in twenty oh one, against the Buccaneers defense
Tony Dungee, the Buccaneers Monty Kiffin, John Lynch, Warren SAPs,
Simeon Rice want Rondez Barber and the Buccaneers was night
(16:52):
of nineteenth were for thirty four yards averaged one point
seven to nine yards per attempt, which is still over
twenty years. A generation of quarterbacks have come into the NFL,
many of them have gone, and still Quincy Carter is
at the very top, the very top.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Of the big boar to suck. So there is that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
There is that late night drug tester says, if Watson
going to going to pick a burner account name.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I would have guessed Rubin, a Ruben Rubin, and then
D and then this is a D one meat is
what he said there.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
The greatest fake name is still Ron Mexico, Michael Vick,
Ron Mexico.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
People have forgotten about that.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
We have not forgotten about that, but Ron Mexico one
of the great fake names.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Michael Vick. Look it up, kids, look it up.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Chipping the Cues says a plus on the mal monologue,
not only is Deshaun Watson thin skin, he's also fat headed.
Why anyone who has two hundred thirty million dollars in
the bank. Should care what people are saying needs some
serious therapy.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Any points out Do you.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Think Deshaun Watson could be in the next Adrian Peterson
With all the payouts he has to make and for
future you know, future rub downs he's going to be
paying for, you think he could be uh out of
money at some point in the near future. It's a
lot of money though.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
That's yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'm like, oh, you got to just make a couple
of good investments and you'll be okay. And he's played
long enough, he's going to be in the football pension,
you know, like you'd you'd think you'd think he would
be able to do it. But you think, uh, Adrian
Peterson one hundred million dollars over one hundred million, he'd
be fine. He's he's twelve million dollars in the hole
and he took out a five million dollar loan which
turned into a twelve million dollar loan. Matthew Warrior Raider
(18:44):
fan says fun fact. He says he attended Quincy Carter's
second career start, when he managed a pathetic one of
five for four yards before being benched for the Great
Anthony Wright who threw for one hundred and twenty six
yards in two touchdowns in a twenty eight twenty one
loss to the Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum. Okay, fun
(19:08):
facts about Quincy Carter. Things that I did not expect
to happen when I came into the radio studio. And
here we are. We're having fun facts with Quincy Carter.
Let's go to the phones. We'll sail out to Mike
in Vegas. Hello, Mike, is this my guy?

in my book it.

and you really helped make it special, Mike. And I
don't even know if you realize how special you made
that night. You know, I.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I'll never forget as long as I live, you know,
someday I'll check out, but I will remember till my
last breath on this mortal coil. Going into the Malor
meet and greet and there's Mike in Vegas and he's
provided his own alcohol. I didn't realize it was bring
your own and just guzzling the mouthwash. Amazing, amazing experience.
(21:23):
And yeah, I was there, I.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Witnessed, I saw we all saw it. It was. It
was really just something you don't see every day.
Speaker 9 (21:31):

Speaker 5 (21:31):
You know, it's not often that the matl Or militia
surprises me.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Ooh something they do.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I was surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I really was.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Well, I've been to more of these meet and greets
than you, Eddie. I'm the all time kings of King
of Malor meet and greets, and I've seen some interesting things.
Roscoe the Parrot and David from Winter Park, Florida who showed.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Up there and uh.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And then we had Wayne from Southee who had had
sobriety for many, many years and chose to break his
sobriety because he was at a Malor meet greet the
cask and flagging right across from Finnway.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Remember that that was quite the night there.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
We had the Malorman March in Seattle where Ed in
Spokane and Christina in Spokane were marching and Ed had
the bullhorn and was annoying the homeless people of Seattle
as we marched to the Seahawks Stadium there and at
downtown Seattle with some legends of the show.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
That was quite the night there, quite fun.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And all of these things have had interesting events that
have taken place.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
In Charleston.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We had some interesting things happening there as well. We
just had that before we had.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
The one in Vegas. And so the beat goes on,
and where will the next Mallard Meet and greet be? Developing?
Hot dot dot dot.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Turnout for a.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Fun fun fact, Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Fun fac.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
We continue our ongoing team coverage of the downfall of
Aaron Judge of Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge appeared on Rubble
and Crew that is part of Paw Patrol. We are
told I don't watch the show, but somebody told me
that since Aaron Judge appeared on Rubble and Crew, part
(23:21):
of Paw Patrol on August twenty sixth, he is now
batting one eighty eight with no home runs. Let me
repeat that for those of you a little slow. Aaron
Judge went on a Canadian cartoon, an animated show. He
appeared on that show and since then he has been
(23:46):
a mere mortal, hitting one eighty eight and we are
now talking about a couple of weeks of baseball with no.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Home runs, no home runs.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And that is your bottom of the hour fun fact,
but not the only fun fact, because our buddy Alf,
the Alien opiner a bonus fun fact, a bonus fun fact.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He points out that.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Ludacris, who's just selling me celebreting his forty seventh birthday,
will be performing this Saturday at the Big Ee, New
England's Great State Fair, and tickets are available, but limited
seats available, So if you'd like to go out there
on Saturday seven point thirty this Saturday, Ludacris, will Alf
(24:34):
make an appearance. Will Alf take the Alf Mobile out
there to hang out with Ludacris at that great State
Fair we'll see.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This show is sponsored by.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
DraftKings State tun because you'll hear more about DraftKings and
all has to offer Rob the show DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
The Crown is yours.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Major League Baseball strategy change Commissioner Rob Manford.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Rob Manford on.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
CNBC show called the Board Rooms game Plan.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I don't know what that is, but just bear with me.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So Rob Manford has said that Major League Baseball is
going to change the way the product is consumed, stating
that baseball needs a national media rights strategy and needs
to move away from the regional sports networks to expand
(25:31):
the game. Says, there will be some local element, but
they have to adjust. So Manford is reacting to the
downfall of the Bally's sports networks.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
The fact that the revenue is just not there.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Because people have enough. People have cut the cord and
gotten rid of cable where it's affected the revenue streams
for sports, which let's break it down. The cable TV
was the sugar daddy of all of these sports leagues.
But the sugar daddy is out of money and so
they have to find a way to make that money
(26:10):
back via streaming. Now, the problem with streaming is there's
a lot of those Russian websites in different ways. You
can get a lot of these broadcasts without paying for them,
which is problematic. So there's a small percentage of people
that are going to have to pay a good amount
of money. And the whole model for streaming is it
(26:30):
doesn't cost as much. You just have to have five
or six different streaming.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Channel. For example, to me, the most important peacock just
big peacock guy over here. That's me. I don't know
why something about that. I just love peacock.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
And then there's others that like Netflix or Amazon Prime
or the different streaming services. But yet you usually have
to have a couple. You have to couple, and they
don't cost all that much. It adds up after a while,
but how are you going to make that money back?
And but what baseball needs to do is get back
(27:05):
in the zeitgeist of the casual fan. They're not like
the regional sport. It becomes a national sport in October,
but even that is pushing. I get I get crap
every October when I do a ton of baseball playoff monologues,
and I get, well.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Well, are you talking about the quarterback trage in Tennessee?
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I get that craft. The other problem baseball has is
the players in baseball are generally boring. There's nothing interesting
about them, and that's a problem. Say what you want
about the NBA. They do interesting crap. You might not
like what they do, but it's interesting. And the NFL
players that they seem to be more interesting than your
(27:50):
run of the mill baseball player.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Let's go to the phones and let's see any meanie
miny moe.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Let's say, look an angry bill who's in Jacksonville, We
had a very pleasant conversation the other day.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Hello angry Bill.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
Who we got game tonight with Kit and Clark at
seven this evening. You can watch the best player in
the world play basketball.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Question a question. Are you being paid by the WNBA?
Speaker 9 (28:25):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Are you being paid by Caitlin Clark?
Speaker 9 (28:30):
Absolutely? I wish, so, I wish.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Why are you just trying to annoy me? Is that
that what you're doing?
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Just like I'm announcing the game tonight.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
But don't you think But don't you think people who
care about that already know when the game is Like,
why would people not know? It's such a popular sport.
People know when the game is. I know when the
NFL games are.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
I have no idea. I'm just helping them out.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Well, they just told me they don't need the help.
The people have spoken, they don't need the help. They've
told me they don't need your help.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Well, I don't care what they said. I'm helping out.
I'm trying to be a nice guy and letting everybody
know what time the game is tied.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Okay, anything else all about? Is that any done? That's all? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:11):
I want to say that baseball players are boring that's
because they don't rape people and rob people like the
NFL players.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Okay, well, there have been baseball players that are rape people,
so I don't know that you can say that.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
There have been some guys over the years that have
been dinged with rape. You want me to go through
the list? Would you like that?
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Oh, I know about the drugs that you had with
your friend on the Los Angeles Angeles I don't know
about rape.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Well, you can look it up. It's on the internet
if you want. It's not that hard to find the drugs.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Well, no, there's been sexual assault claims against baseball players. Also,
Do you want me to go through the you want
to do the world?
Speaker 8 (29:51):
I mean it's maybe statutory, but Wander Franco.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, there's a guy named Mel Hall who played for
the Yankees also who's still in jail. Chad Curtis, baseball
player from the Yankees, also went to jail for fiddling
around with a.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
High school girl. So it does happen, believe it or not.
You're your beloved baseball players. You're boring baseball players.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
My baseball players aren't boring. You're exciting. You're absolutely exciting.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Very exciting, so excited want to. I want to take
a nap. They're so exciting.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
Yes, okay, I think they're great.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Okay, you're out of material. This is another underwhelming call call.
You've got to do better. Come on, you got to
bring it.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
What would you like?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
All right? All right, thank you? All right.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
Now, I know you're gonna hate this, Ben, but he
brought up Kaitlyn Clark, and I just want to say,
it's a it's an interesting, it's a.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Fascinating you watch You're gonna watch the game tonight.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
No, that's my point, And that's what I wanted to
mention is that I am interested in her story, and
so I what is her story? I follow it, but
I not enough to actually turn on a w NBA game.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
What's her story?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Well?
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Just the I mean, there's plenty of storylines. The fact
that it seems that every other player in the league
hates her because she's better than them. The fact that they.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
She's not the best player in the league though.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Is she not?
Speaker 5 (31:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Who's the MVP that Eddie?
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Probably the Asia Wilson girl with the apostrophe in her name.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Send that out, Coop. That's a hot take from her
w NBA guy.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Fox Sports radio's w NBA Insider reporting Hitlin Clark not
the top player.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (31:36):
I mean she's about to. She's setting records like like that.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
As a rook as a rookie, as a rookie records.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
No, no, no, no, she's setting no records.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
You know, most of them are rookie records.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
They're not regular records.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
But these are records.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
You didn't know what they were, right, People are telling
you the records, but you didn't know who held these records. Coop, right,
you're not following the league.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
You didn't know if the.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
You know, right, I mean just people say, hey, there's
a record, but you don't really.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Know what the record is.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
But I see, I see these memes. She has three
hundred and six assists. She's eleven away from breaking the
all time single season record.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, who has that record.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
Alyssa Thomas, whoever that is?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
That's my point. But no, but no, you're right, I
don't I don't know that.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
I'm not saying she's not a very good player. I'm
saying she's not Tiger Woods, but not so good that
she should be elevating this league allegedly to this status.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
No, she's not good enough to get me to watch it.
But it's just it's just interesting because like, but she's
not good enough to be on the Olympic team.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Well that's some pettiness or what.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
That's what I'm saying. That's what's interesting about this. That's
those kind of stories.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Yeah, she had a pay her dues. Nobody cares about
the w NBA. Pay your please, come on, just her
showing up. They should worship the woman. Anyway. It is
the Ben Mallord Show. As we continue on, we are
gonna have Mallard of the third degree. Here's the insta trivia,
and I hear it is.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Blank is the only player, the only one to average
two hundred and fifty or more passing yards per game
fifty or more rushing yards per game versus a single
opponent since at least nineteen fifty minimum five starts against
that opponent.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Again, Blank, the.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Only player to average two undred and fifty or more
passing yards per game to fifty plus rushing yards per
game versus a single opponent since at least nineteen fifty
minimum five starts. That's the answer, trivia. The answer next.

Time out for the Insta Trivia and here we go.
Here we go with Mallard of the third degree, warming
up in the bullpen, about to come into the game.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
About to come into the game.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Blank is the only player to average two hundred and
fifty or more passing yards per game and fifty or
more rushing yards per game versus a single opponent since
at least nineteen point fifty that's minimum five starts versus
that NFL opponent.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
What is the answer, and let's see does anyone know
the answer? Gizmo Duck was guessed by Cowboy Killer relevant
name CFL legend Cowboy John Brad from Windsor, Ontario by Milkman,
Mike Clayton Kershaw from Big Greg in Iowa. That's not
(34:52):
just Kershaw, that's every Dodger pitcher. That photo our truth
from Rob in Vegas. Sean Livingston, who's thirty nine today.
That's the worst injury I ever saw in person. Sean Livingston,
whose knee went to all, Oh my god, it was so.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Clippers. I think they were playing the Charlotte Bobcats on
like a Monday night.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I cannot horrible. I don't have time to get into
that right now. Michael Vick guessed by Josh. I'll probably
say that this question is bogus because he didn't get
it right. Andrew Walter from Nick Matt the Warrior Raider
fan cheated, so he did get it right.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Terry Bradshaw from The Artist Sports Talk. What's that? What's that? Yo?
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Let's go away, Jim Drucken Miller.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Fine answer, but no, the correct answer is Josh Allen.
Josh Allen against the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 3 (35:52):
To the third degree, This is one gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
All right, let's do this. There we go, kober loop.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
All right, Ben the Orioles still have one of the
best records in the American League, but over the course
of their last fifty six games, they've been a sub
five hundred team. Ben, does Baltimore have major postseason concerns?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
No, because the playoffs are a totally different situation. There
is no correlation or causation based on regular season performance
in the sport of baseball. We have seen it year
after year, teams that are rather whull home in the
regular season. There's teams like Arizona that didn't do very
good against good teams last year.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
And then in the playoffs they were able.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
To win a bunch of games. So it's not a concern. Now,
if the Orioles go in the playoffs and ride the
vomit comet, then.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
It becomes a concern. But going into it, no, there's
no These two things have nothing to do with each other.
Speaker 8 (36:48):
Next, the Panthers technically have one of the easiest schedules
in the NFL this season. They don't play a playoff
team from last year until Week eleven. Now that being said,
Bryce Young looked bad and they one of their best
players on Sunday in defensive lineman Derek Brown. Now Ben
do you think any of their upcoming games are winnable?
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Yeah, So the question is not whether or.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Not Carolina is going to win a game. The question
is will they even cover the spread? That's the question
the gambling show. They play the Chargers, the Raiders, and
the Bengals the next three weeks.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
They will lose all of those games. Like the first
winnable game.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Is at Washington, which they will not win, and that's
not until Week seven next Now.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
The New Orleans Saints have a new offensive coordinator in
Clint Kubiak, and the offense already looks much improved over
last season after they dropped forty seven points on the
aforementioned Panthers. Ben, do you think this is the new
norm in New Orleans?
Speaker 1 (37:39):
No, because these questions are related.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Cool. They played the Carolina Panthers, which is a Pop
Warner All Star team, not even an all Star team.
The Panthers are the worst team two years or other,
the worst team this year.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
They stake how did we do you pass this edition?
That is a win. We can put it on the bar.
Chuck kinge chuck ching your chain
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number two as we try to spice things
up here in hour number two, thumbs up or thumbs
down on Deshaun Watson having a burner account.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
It's the hour of the creepy Quarterback.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Also, give me your reaction to the NFL's response to
Deshaun Watson's latest troubles and do you buy the Browns
leaking the latest Deshaun Watson lawsuit. We're gonna burn up
a dance floor right now here. It is our number two.
Just imagine you're in the Happy Baby Yoga pos that'll

Anthony and Anaheim begged me ten thousand times to do
a birthday shout out. It's his birthday today, but I
let him know we don't do shoutouts. We're not a
morning zoos show. We get paid as an overnight show.
If we get a morning show, we will do shout
outs or an afternoon show.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So sorry, sucker, Anthony and I would.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Never give you a shout out, Anthony and Anaheim, because
I know your wife hates the show, and your kids
I don't think are old enough to qualify for ratings purposes.
But I digress, all right, So our lead this hour
from Cleveland, Ohio. Oh yeah, the obligatory mal monologue on
everyone's favorite happy baby yoga quarterback.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
This Hour, the Creepy Quarterback.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Latest information, The NFL is reviewing the new allegation accusing
the Browns franchise player Deshaun Watson of inappropriate hanky panky
and the assault battery claim.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's a civil lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Now we are told the league is not considering placing
him on the Commissioner's exemp list. There are no formal
criminal charges. It is again purely a civil case. So
the punishment is to have the Browns have to play
to Shaun Watson. That would be the punishment of the
biggest plot twist which I had been obsessed with. I
(03:00):
spent a good chunk of my day falling down a
rabbit hole in the micro blogging world. Now you might
know where I'm going with this, but maybe you haven't
been paying attention and you don't know where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So let me let me allow you to come to
my world if you missed it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
So now Deshaun Watson not only is accused of being
the creepy quarterback Times twenty five, but Watson is now
being accused of creating wait for it, wait for it,
a fake social media account to defend his pathetic play
over the weekend. Yes, to defend his pathetic play over
(03:43):
the weekend, he has created a social media account. So
I I was tipped off to this radio buddy of
mine said, hey, you're not gonna get a text. You're
not gonna believe this. You know, anytime I get a text,
you're not gonna believe this.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I'm like, okay, I'm interesting. What happened? All right?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So and then I see the the tweets and the comments,
and I'm like, okay, So Watson's the cues of creating
a fake social media account. Internet sluice believe that X
user I love this name, Lee Roy bicker Staff is
really Deshaun Watson incognito. Say what, yes, Lee Roy bicker Staff. Now,
(04:28):
the account has passionately been standing up to the honor
of Deshaun Watson to the point where it just does
not pass the smell test. So let us discuss the
question thumbs up or thumbs down to the concept of
(04:49):
Deshaun Watson having a burner account on x to defend
his honor. So I've got Stealth, Bomber, beach Cruise, and billboard,
and we will combine all of these things together and
speak our mind.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Is what we're going to do. So number yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
To answer the question thumbs up thumbs down, I'm going two.
Two thumbs up is how I'm going to answer this. Now,
we did activate the MIIB, and that's not men in Black.
The MIIB is the Malor Investigative Bureau, and the Malor
Investigative Bureau.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
After eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Long investigation, we believe it is beyond a reasonable doubt
that it is either Deshaun Watson or a relative of
Deshaun Watson. The scale is leading towards Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Now, one thing I have noticed from years.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
On the bully pulpit, behind the microphone, sweating over the
bright lights of the on air light. Most of these
famous people, I say that in your quotes famous people
are not exactly tough cookies. Some of them pretend to
be right, some of them pretend to be But the
famous people, a lot of them think they're James Bond
(06:14):
with these burner accounts.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Doing undercover work.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Spoiler alert, spoiler alert, you're not right, You're not Now
most of them get exposed. Shout out Kevin Durant. In
this case, Deshaun Watson. I'm convinced based on the comments
that were posted from the account from Leroy bickerstaff.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
O God, I.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Am convinced that Watson thought he was flying a stealth bomber,
that no one would be able to figure out that
this was Deshaun Watson, and yet he actually was flying
around in a good Year blimp advertising that he was
Deshaun Watson. This account, based on my investigation the Malther
(07:05):
Investigator Bureau, this had all the telltale signs Now, let.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Me give you my evidence.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm gonna make my elevator pitch to you, and then
you can tell me whether or not you believe the case.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
So I'm gonna give you the evidence. You're the judge.
You decide.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So the first thing that stood out like a throbbing thumb,
it was a fresh account. The account was started this month.
You were in the month of September twenty twenty four,
so it's a brand new account. The first activity was
on Sunday, right after the Browns were punched in the
Solar Plexus by the Dallas Cowboys, So no effort to
(07:44):
hide it, no effort to camelflage it. And then you
look at the name Leroy Bickerstaff. If you were to
come up with a name, let's come up with a
burner account.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I don't know what name. I don't Why don't we
use the.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Last name of the old Cavaliers coach bicker Staff And
then we'll just throw Leroy in there and no one
will know who that is. Now one one agenda, one
trick pony here or one pose the happy baby yoga
pose well, Deshaun Watson lingo.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
So the only.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Effort of the account has been to post comments the
Sunday hours after and really shortly after the Browns Cowboys game,
and then on Monday defending Deshaun Watson. Now NFL teams
have Tuesday off. There was no content. I didn't see
anything on Tuesday, so he probably forgot about it because
he was out doing stuff. But the account, among other things,
(08:43):
blamed the offensive line. Brown said some guys out. He
blamed the offensive line, blamed the play calling, which is
the head coach Kevin Stefanski who's running the offense there.
And the account, the Leroy bicker Staff account claimed that
those things are holding number four back from his greatness
the franchise, making one of the all time greats look
(09:04):
bad was another post. Now we know that Watson is
thin skin, and we know this from firsthand experience.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
If you're new to the show, there.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Is a past before Deshaun Watson was the creepy quarterback.
He was an Eagle scout. He was beloved by everybody
when he played at Clemson. He's also very thin skin.
And we had a back and forth based on some
comments that were made on this show that were repeated
on social media, and Watson searched his name, he came
(09:36):
across my name.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
We then got into a.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Rhubarb before he was in the NFL with the Houston Texans,
in between the time he was at Clemson and going
to the Texans, as I remember it. So things that
make you go hmm, it's unmistaked, but thin skin guy.
No one's defending Watson.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Why would you?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And all of a sudden He's like, Okay, you know
I can't do this on my own account, So I'm
gonna make a burner account and.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
No one will ever know. No one will ever know.
Right now, page two, give me your reaction to the.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
NFL's response to Deshaun Watson's latest legal rhubarb.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So the NFL's response here was a shoulder shrug. I
don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Uh to say they are extremely cautious a slight understatement.
For years, the NFL ruled with an iron fist, and
now they have done a one tot eighty. They've gone
the opposite direction. To forget about the Autobahn. They are
driving a beach cruiser, not an electric beach cruiser. They're
driving a beach cruiser with a flat tire, enjoying a
(10:45):
lazy Sunday drive and they're blocking traffic and all that
just waiting for Watson to pay more hush money and
then they can get back to siphoning money from you
and me and all the different NFL products that they
have there that you must pay, You must pay for
all right now, final point, there is a Deshaun Watson
(11:08):
conspiracy theory aside.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
From the burner account that is making the rounds. Several
of you sent this to me.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It goes something like this that the Cleveland football team
let the cat out of the bag, with the cat
out of the bag on the latest lawsuit in order
to hit to facilitate the eject button, to hit the
eject button on the Deshaun Watson contract. Do you buy
(11:36):
the Browns leaking the latest Deshaun Watson lawsuit in a
strategic move to weaponize the lawsuit. So I looked this
over and I see no evidence of this.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I was kind of.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Hoping that would be true because it would actually make
the Browns look pretty good, But I don't see that.
And the main reason I don't see that is because
of the roadside billboard. The head of the snake involved
in this latest lawsuit is an old friend. Now, I
don't know this guy in real life, but he's provided
me a lot of content over the years. Your favorite
(12:10):
billboard ambulance chasing lawyer, better known as Tony Musby, a
prominent and boisterous, over the top Houston attorney right out
of Central casting for a bigger than life Texas attorney
who is representing the latest accuser. He's represented almost all
of the other women that accused de Sean Watson of
(12:30):
inappropriate activity. He's also a former Houston mayoral candidate who
once put up billboards around Houston so the Texans would
draft Johnny Manzel.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That did not work out.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
So this guy's a legendary attention horror who does have
an addiction problem. He's addicted to the microphone, the camera,
and the bright lights. He's never met a camera that
he didn't like to my knowledge. He's also got this
megaphone and he's out there. He's always bark quotes and
all that. The other element to the story, the reason
(13:04):
not to believe that the Browns were the ones that
leaked the story. Not only do you have Tony Buzby,
this big, bigger than life attorney, but you also have
Jimmy Haslam, the owner of the Browns and his.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Toadies, who appear to be completely clueless.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
So despite that, I do believe the Brownies are not
upset the story is out.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They'd like the NFL to do something.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They didn't throw the latest giant mudball, but they're not
against it. They're like, well, it kind of helps us out,
and it's like they didn't really have a problem with
the other twenty four cases, but this one, this is
the straw that broke the camel's back. It is the

Now, we've got the no intentional walk, just go down
to first base. We've got no takeout slides at home
plate or at second base.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
There's a lot of stupid rules in baseball.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, Baseball now planning their next strategy change. What is
the next strategy strategy change from Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (14:27):

The Ben Malur Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on x He's
at Ben Mahler and you can post at and follow
our executive producer. He is manning the phones. He's the
person you talk to if you want to call in
on the show. But he's more than just a call screener.
He is the liar, liar, and the menace of the
Fox Sports Radio network. It's the Coop the Loop, Justin
(15:39):
Cooper and he's at U H. Bronco fan and alive
from the tyrac dot com Fox Sports Radio studios. It's
Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Rolling, rolling on through the overnight hours.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Listener Josh writes in he want to file a complaint
on the who am I? Game? Josh questioning the integrity
of the who am I game, saying that Tony Graziani
started a game in nineteen ninety seven and averaged one
point three yards per pest.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That is absolutely true. He's calling ps. Here's the problem, Josh.
That was not his first game. So bad job by you,
Bad job by you. You're going to the penalty box.
That's a two minute a minor penalty for Josh. Shame
on you.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
The question was who averaged the fewest yards in their
first start as an NFL player minimum ten pass attempts?
Quincy Carter in twenty oh one, against the Buccaneers defense
Tony Dungee, the Buccaneers Monty Kiffin, John Lynch, Warren SAPs,
Simeon Rice want Rondez Barber and the Buccaneers was night
(16:52):
of nineteenth were for thirty four yards averaged one point
seven to nine yards per attempt, which is still over
twenty years. A generation of quarterbacks have come into the NFL,
many of them have gone, and still Quincy Carter is
at the very top, the very top.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Of the big boar to suck. So there is that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
There is that late night drug tester says, if Watson
going to going to pick a burner account name.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I would have guessed Rubin, a Ruben Rubin, and then
D and then this is a D one meat is
what he said there.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
The greatest fake name is still Ron Mexico, Michael Vick,
Ron Mexico.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
People have forgotten about that.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
We have not forgotten about that, but Ron Mexico one
of the great fake names.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Michael Vick. Look it up, kids, look it up.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Chipping the Cues says a plus on the mal monologue,
not only is Deshaun Watson thin skin, he's also fat headed.
Why anyone who has two hundred thirty million dollars in
the bank. Should care what people are saying needs some
serious therapy.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Any points out Do you.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Think Deshaun Watson could be in the next Adrian Peterson
With all the payouts he has to make and for
future you know, future rub downs he's going to be
paying for, you think he could be uh out of
money at some point in the near future. It's a
lot of money though.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
That's yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'm like, oh, you got to just make a couple
of good investments and you'll be okay. And he's played
long enough, he's going to be in the football pension,
you know, like you'd you'd think you'd think he would
be able to do it. But you think, uh, Adrian
Peterson one hundred million dollars over one hundred million, he'd
be fine. He's he's twelve million dollars in the hole
and he took out a five million dollar loan which
turned into a twelve million dollar loan. Matthew Warrior Raider
(18:44):
fan says fun fact. He says he attended Quincy Carter's
second career start, when he managed a pathetic one of
five for four yards before being benched for the Great
Anthony Wright who threw for one hundred and twenty six
yards in two touchdowns in a twenty eight twenty one
loss to the Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum. Okay, fun
(19:08):
facts about Quincy Carter. Things that I did not expect
to happen when I came into the radio studio. And
here we are. We're having fun facts with Quincy Carter.
Let's go to the phones. We'll sail out to Mike

and you really helped make it special, Mike. And I
don't even know if you realize how special you made
that night. You know, I.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Remember years sayings and the other radio that I wasn't
gonna show up, and like, after that point, I had
to show up.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You had you had to prove me wrong. You had

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Now?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Mike? Did the Wi fi go out? Did Ronald McDonald's
he went out? Yeah, all right, we'll call back, Mike.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I'll never forget as long as I live, you know,
someday I'll check out, but I will remember till my
last breath on this mortal coil. Going into the Malor
meet and greet and there's Mike in Vegas and he's
provided his own alcohol. I didn't realize it was bring
your own and just guzzling the mouthwash. Amazing, amazing experience.
(21:23):
And yeah, I was there, I.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Witnessed, I saw we all saw it. It was. It
was really just something you don't see every day.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
You see.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
You know, it's not often that the matl Or militia
surprises me.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Ooh something they do.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I was surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I really was.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Well, I've been to more of these meet and greets
than you, Eddie. I'm the all time kings of King
of Malor meet and greets, and I've seen some interesting things.
Roscoe the Parrot and David from Winter Park, Florida who showed.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Up there and uh.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And then we had Wayne from Southee who had had
sobriety for many, many years and chose to break his
sobriety because he was at a Malor meet greet the
cask and flagging right across from Finnway.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Remember that that was quite the night there.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
We had the Malorman March in Seattle where Ed in
Spokane and Christina in Spokane were marching and Ed had
the bullhorn and was annoying the homeless people of Seattle
as we marched to the Seahawks Stadium there and at
downtown Seattle with some legends of the show.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
That was quite the night there, quite fun.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And all of these things have had interesting events that
have taken place.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
In Charleston.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We had some interesting things happening there as well. We
just had that before we had.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
The one in Vegas. And so the beat goes on,
and where will the next Mallard Meet and greet be? Developing?
Hot dot dot dot.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Turnout for a.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Fun fun fact, Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Fun fac.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
We continue our ongoing team coverage of the downfall of
Aaron Judge of Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge appeared on Rubble
and Crew that is part of Paw Patrol. We are
told I don't watch the show, but somebody told me
that since Aaron Judge appeared on Rubble and Crew, part
(23:21):
of Paw Patrol on August twenty sixth, he is now
batting one eighty eight with no home runs. Let me
repeat that for those of you a little slow. Aaron
Judge went on a Canadian cartoon, an animated show. He
appeared on that show and since then he has been
(23:46):
a mere mortal, hitting one eighty eight and we are
now talking about a couple of weeks of baseball with no.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Home runs, no home runs.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And that is your bottom of the hour fun fact,
but not the only fun fact, because our buddy Alf,
the Alien opiner a bonus fun fact, a bonus fun fact.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He points out that.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Ludacris, who's just selling me celebreting his forty seventh birthday,
will be performing this Saturday at the Big Ee, New
England's Great State Fair, and tickets are available, but limited
seats available, So if you'd like to go out there
on Saturday seven point thirty this Saturday, Ludacris, will Alf
(24:34):
make an appearance. Will Alf take the Alf Mobile out
there to hang out with Ludacris at that great State
Fair we'll see.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This show is sponsored by.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
DraftKings State tun because you'll hear more about DraftKings and
all has to offer Rob the show DraftKings.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
The Crown is yours.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Major League Baseball strategy change Commissioner Rob Manford.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Rob Manford on.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
CNBC show called the Board Rooms game Plan.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I don't know what that is, but just bear with me.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
So Rob Manford has said that Major League Baseball is
going to change the way the product is consumed, stating
that baseball needs a national media rights strategy and needs
to move away from the regional sports networks to expand
(25:31):
the game. Says, there will be some local element, but
they have to adjust. So Manford is reacting to the
downfall of the Bally's sports networks.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
The fact that the revenue is just not there.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Because people have enough. People have cut the cord and
gotten rid of cable where it's affected the revenue streams
for sports, which let's break it down. The cable TV
was the sugar daddy of all of these sports leagues.
But the sugar daddy is out of money and so
they have to find a way to make that money
(26:10):
back via streaming. Now, the problem with streaming is there's
a lot of those Russian websites in different ways. You
can get a lot of these broadcasts without paying for them,
which is problematic. So there's a small percentage of people
that are going to have to pay a good amount
of money. And the whole model for streaming is it
(26:30):
doesn't cost as much. You just have to have five
or six different streaming.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Channel. For example, to me, the most important peacock just
big peacock guy over here. That's me. I don't know
why something about that. I just love peacock.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
And then there's others that like Netflix or Amazon Prime
or the different streaming services. But yet you usually have
to have a couple. You have to couple, and they
don't cost all that much. It adds up after a while,
but how are you going to make that money back?
And but what baseball needs to do is get back
(27:05):
in the zeitgeist of the casual fan. They're not like
the regional sport. It becomes a national sport in October,
but even that is pushing. I get I get crap
every October when I do a ton of baseball playoff monologues,
and I get, well.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Well, are you talking about the quarterback trage in Tennessee?
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I get that craft. The other problem baseball has is
the players in baseball are generally boring. There's nothing interesting
about them, and that's a problem. Say what you want
about the NBA. They do interesting crap. You might not
like what they do, but it's interesting. And the NFL
players that they seem to be more interesting than your
(27:50):
run of the mill baseball player.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Let's go to the phones and let's see any meanie
miny moe.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Let's say, look an angry bill who's in Jacksonville, We
had a very pleasant conversation the other day.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Hello angry Bill.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
Who we got game tonight with Kit and Clark at
seven this evening. You can watch the best player in
the world play basketball.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Question a question. Are you being paid by the WNBA?
Speaker 9 (28:25):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Are you being paid by Caitlin Clark?
Speaker 9 (28:30):
Absolutely? I wish, so, I wish.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Why are you just trying to annoy me? Is that
that what you're doing?
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Just like I'm announcing the game tonight.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
But don't you think But don't you think people who
care about that already know when the game is Like,
why would people not know? It's such a popular sport.
People know when the game is. I know when the
NFL games are.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
I have no idea. I'm just helping them out.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Well, they just told me they don't need the help.
The people have spoken, they don't need the help. They've
told me they don't need your help.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Well, I don't care what they said. I'm helping out.
I'm trying to be a nice guy and letting everybody
know what time the game is tied.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Okay, anything else all about? Is that any done? That's all? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:11):
I want to say that baseball players are boring that's
because they don't rape people and rob people like the
NFL players.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Okay, well, there have been baseball players that are rape people,
so I don't know that you can say that.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
There have been some guys over the years that have
been dinged with rape. You want me to go through
the list? Would you like that?
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Oh, I know about the drugs that you had with
your friend on the Los Angeles Angeles I don't know
about rape.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Well, you can look it up. It's on the internet
if you want. It's not that hard to find the drugs.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Well, no, there's been sexual assault claims against baseball players. Also,
Do you want me to go through the you want
to do the world?
Speaker 8 (29:51):
I mean it's maybe statutory, but Wander Franco.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, there's a guy named Mel Hall who played for
the Yankees also who's still in jail. Chad Curtis, baseball
player from the Yankees, also went to jail for fiddling
around with a.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
High school girl. So it does happen, believe it or not.
You're your beloved baseball players. You're boring baseball players.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
My baseball players aren't boring. You're exciting. You're absolutely exciting.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Very exciting, so excited want to. I want to take
a nap. They're so exciting.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
Yes, okay, I think they're great.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Okay, you're out of material. This is another underwhelming call call.
You've got to do better. Come on, you got to
bring it.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
What would you like?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
All right? All right, thank you? All right.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
Now, I know you're gonna hate this, Ben, but he
brought up Kaitlyn Clark, and I just want to say,
it's a it's an interesting, it's a.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Fascinating you watch You're gonna watch the game tonight.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
No, that's my point, And that's what I wanted to
mention is that I am interested in her story, and
so I what is her story? I follow it, but
I not enough to actually turn on a w NBA game.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
What's her story?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Well?
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Just the I mean, there's plenty of storylines. The fact
that it seems that every other player in the league
hates her because she's better than them. The fact that they.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
She's not the best player in the league though.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Is she not?
Speaker 5 (31:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Who's the MVP that Eddie?
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Probably the Asia Wilson girl with the apostrophe in her name.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Send that out, Coop. That's a hot take from her
w NBA guy.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Fox Sports radio's w NBA Insider reporting Hitlin Clark not
the top player.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (31:36):
I mean she's about to. She's setting records like like that.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
As a rook as a rookie, as a rookie records.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
No, no, no, no, she's setting no records.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
You know, most of them are rookie records.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
They're not regular records.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
But these are records.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
You didn't know what they were, right, People are telling
you the records, but you didn't know who held these records. Coop, right,
you're not following the league.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
You didn't know if the.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
You know, right, I mean just people say, hey, there's
a record, but you don't really.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Know what the record is.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
But I see, I see these memes. She has three
hundred and six assists. She's eleven away from breaking the
all time single season record.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, who has that record.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
Alyssa Thomas, whoever that is?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
That's my point. But no, but no, you're right, I
don't I don't know that.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
I'm not saying she's not a very good player. I'm
saying she's not Tiger Woods, but not so good that
she should be elevating this league allegedly to this status.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
No, she's not good enough to get me to watch it.
But it's just it's just interesting because like, but she's
not good enough to be on the Olympic team.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Well that's some pettiness or what.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
That's what I'm saying. That's what's interesting about this. That's
those kind of stories.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Yeah, she had a pay her dues. Nobody cares about
the w NBA. Pay your please, come on, just her
showing up. They should worship the woman. Anyway. It is
the Ben Mallord Show. As we continue on, we are
gonna have Mallard of the third degree. Here's the insta trivia,
and I hear it is.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Blank is the only player, the only one to average
two hundred and fifty or more passing yards per game
fifty or more rushing yards per game versus a single
opponent since at least nineteen fifty minimum five starts against
that opponent.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Again, Blank, the.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Only player to average two undred and fifty or more
passing yards per game to fifty plus rushing yards per
game versus a single opponent since at least nineteen fifty
minimum five starts. That's the answer, trivia. The answer next.

Time out for the Insta Trivia and here we go.
Here we go with Mallard of the third degree, warming
up in the bullpen, about to come into the game.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
About to come into the game.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Blank is the only player to average two hundred and
fifty or more passing yards per game and fifty or
more rushing yards per game versus a single opponent since
at least nineteen point fifty that's minimum five starts versus
that NFL opponent.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
What is the answer, and let's see does anyone know
the answer? Gizmo Duck was guessed by Cowboy Killer relevant
name CFL legend Cowboy John Brad from Windsor, Ontario by Milkman,
Mike Clayton Kershaw from Big Greg in Iowa. That's not
(34:52):
just Kershaw, that's every Dodger pitcher. That photo our truth
from Rob in Vegas. Sean Livingston, who's thirty nine today.
That's the worst injury I ever saw in person. Sean Livingston,
whose knee went to all, Oh my god, it was so.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Clippers. I think they were playing the Charlotte Bobcats on
like a Monday night.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I cannot horrible. I don't have time to get into
that right now. Michael Vick guessed by Josh. I'll probably
say that this question is bogus because he didn't get
it right. Andrew Walter from Nick Matt the Warrior Raider
fan cheated, so he did get it right.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Terry Bradshaw from The Artist Sports Talk. What's that? What's that? Yo?
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Let's go away, Jim Drucken Miller.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Fine answer, but no, the correct answer is Josh Allen.
Josh Allen against the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 3 (35:52):
To the third degree, This is one gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
All right, let's do this. There we go, kober loop.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
All right, Ben the Orioles still have one of the
best records in the American League, but over the course
of their last fifty six games, they've been a sub
five hundred team. Ben, does Baltimore have major postseason concerns?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
No, because the playoffs are a totally different situation. There
is no correlation or causation based on regular season performance
in the sport of baseball. We have seen it year
after year, teams that are rather whull home in the
regular season. There's teams like Arizona that didn't do very
good against good teams last year.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
And then in the playoffs they were able.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
To win a bunch of games. So it's not a concern. Now,
if the Orioles go in the playoffs and ride the
vomit comet, then.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
It becomes a concern. But going into it, no, there's
no These two things have nothing to do with each other.
Speaker 8 (36:48):
Next, the Panthers technically have one of the easiest schedules
in the NFL this season. They don't play a playoff
team from last year until Week eleven. Now that being said,
Bryce Young looked bad and they one of their best
players on Sunday in defensive lineman Derek Brown. Now Ben
do you think any of their upcoming games are winnable?
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Yeah, So the question is not whether or.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Not Carolina is going to win a game. The question
is will they even cover the spread? That's the question
the gambling show. They play the Chargers, the Raiders, and
the Bengals the next three weeks.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
They will lose all of those games. Like the first
winnable game.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Is at Washington, which they will not win, and that's
not until Week seven next Now.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
The New Orleans Saints have a new offensive coordinator in
Clint Kubiak, and the offense already looks much improved over
last season after they dropped forty seven points on the
aforementioned Panthers. Ben, do you think this is the new
norm in New Orleans?
Speaker 1 (37:39):
No, because these questions are related.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Cool. They played the Carolina Panthers, which is a Pop
Warner All Star team, not even an all Star team.
The Panthers are the worst team two years or other,
the worst team this year.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
They stake how did we do you pass this edition?
That is a win. We can put it on the bar.
