Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bird two as we
work up an appetite for the original recipe podcast, The
Ben Maler Show. Here an hour two. It's all about
the trade game. What grade do you give the DeVante
Adams trade between the Raiders and the Jets. Also, Aaron
Rogers says the Jets are going all in on Davante
(00:23):
Adams and that trade is that? How you see this?
And Adams himself says that abracadabra, his hamstring is refeels great.
This if you're missing the last couple of games for
the Raiders. But all of a sudden he's healthy, just
putting on that Jet's uniform. How does this one hit you?
We'll cluster all that together and more right now as
(00:46):
we bob and weave in our number two. The band
is back together. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere,
socializing as we kiss and tell coast to coast, border,
(01:08):
the border and beyond on the mast and wondrously powerful
microphones of FSR open all night and emmanating live from
the post. The Trading Post is open for business. We're
broadcasting live from the ti Raq dot com studios. Tyrack
dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
(01:31):
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended in starars tyrack dot com the way tire
buying should be. I know our friend Tammy in Vegas,
Tammy in Vegas very happy about that number. Ten thousand
sort lead this hour is from the big NFL story.
(01:51):
There were a couple of decent sized NFL stories good
news days. They said, I'd like to spread it out.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
A little more.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So there's a little bit here, in, a little bit there,
a little bit everywhere. We didn't get that. So our
lead is out of the trading block just hours after gagging. Boy,
what what a gag it was against the Jets, a
gang green played. Let's make a deal because if you
want people not to talk about how bad you played
(02:19):
and how your quarterback choked with a game winning drive
and you just sucked at a time, you cannot suck
you out and make a trade. So that's that's what happened.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I assume you know by now. How would you not
know if you paid any attention. But there's a chance
maybe you've been living in a van down by the river,
and you haven't been paying attention. So the Jets have crossed,
They've crossed the t's, they've dotted the eyes on a
trade for Raiders star wide receiver DeVante Adams. Boy, who
(02:50):
could have seen that one coming? Everybody? Vegas received a
twenty twenty five conditional third round pick in the trade.
Now for comedic reasons, the pick could improve to a
second round selection if the following criteria is meant. Now
this is written by professional joke writers. If Devonte Adams
(03:11):
is a first or second team All Pro this season,
or if the Jets have him on the active roster
for the AFC Championship Game or the Super Bowl. In
other words, the Raiders got a third round pick for
Devonte Adams. So let us discuss the question what grade?
(03:31):
What grade do you give the Devonte Adams trade between
the Raiders and the Jets. So I have a boiler
plate disclaimer Aladdin and WSCW and we're gonna go hot
diggity and put all these together.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
So n.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Mal the report card. The Jets get only a C plus.
That's it, only a C plus. The Raiders get the D.
And so the Raiders have to go with the d
on this. Now Vegas traded a known commodity, a guy
that had quit quiet quit on the Raiders, choot you
quite quick, Devonte Adams for a pack of scratcher tickets. Now,
(04:15):
we used to have a guy that called the show
a lot doesn't call the show much anymore, named Sir
scratch Off, who's addicted to the lottery. Plays tons of
scratcher tickets, doesn't win very much because most of them
don't hit. Right now, Devonte Adams big name, and so
from that perspective, the Jets are all horny. They're all
excited by getting Devonte Adams. However, his performance has not
(04:35):
been elite elite in a number of years, and the owner,
Woody Johnson, says that the status quo is killer and
the primary driving force behind the Jets reuniting Deavonte Adams
and Aaron Rogers. Now, Woody from the Johnson and Johnson
(04:57):
fame talked about building culture. That's the term he used,
building culture, and how Adams would open everything up. Now,
that is a fresh take. That is a cute take.
It's also a cheesy culture, a cheese fund type of culture.
And this is the part where you cue the boiler
(05:19):
plate disclaimer for the Jets going forward, any rebroadcast, retransmission,
or account of Devonte adams performance without the express written
consent of the Green Bay Packers is prohibited. Because what
the Jets are trying to do is recreate the Green
Bay Packers from like five years ago. Right, They're looking
(05:39):
to clone the cheeseheads, and they're sending out smoke signals
as they take the plunge. Now, keep in mind, DeVante Adams,
I believe, was in Wisconsin for parts of eight seasons
in northern Wisconsin. And while he compiled a lot of stats,
a lot of numbers to my knowledge that were no
(06:00):
Super Bowl appearances there, right, that didn't happen. And now
they're both older, Rogers and Davante, and they get what
they want, one last dance together. Both have a lot
more mileage on the odometer. Now, page two, talking about
the musical chairs, as we ride the wave here Aaron Rogers. Now,
(06:20):
Aaron Rodgers says, the Jets are going all in on
Devonte Adams in that trade. Is that how you see it?
So they're going all in, but not in winning. This
is not about winning. This is about cow towing to
Rogers is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It's another example of room service delivery to the quarterback.
And it reminds you of the genie from Aladdin. And
you know, Aaron Rodgers has been granted phenomenal cosmic powers
because of what he did in Wisconsin, not what he's
done with the Jets by the owner there would he
And it's more out of the Association playbook. This is
(07:00):
something you see in the NBA where Lebron James and
Ann Rodgers and Lebron have a lot in common. They're passive,
aggressive nature, but it's the star running the show. And
I still chuckle at a week ago when Aaron Rodgers
got all offended that people thought he was running the Jets. Well,
any doubt is now gone. He is the GM by
(07:22):
proxy of the Jets. And again, your wish is my command,
just like Aladdin. You're tired of Aaron, Aaron, You're tired
of Robert Salad. Will get rid of Robert Salad. Right,
he's a killjoy, all right, his ass is grasped. You
want your buddy demonte Adams done right, done, done done.
Next thing we're gonna get. The Jets will be playing
half their home games at lambeau Field, because that's where
(07:46):
Rogers plays well at lambeau Field, So why not They'll
just play a few games at lambeau every year. Nobody
will care. Okay, be careful though, a very important life lesson.
You don't often learn this till you get older in life.
But be careful what you wish for. It's like the
the famous saying from Oscar Wilde that there are only
two tragedies in life. One is not getting what you
(08:09):
want and the other is actually getting what you want.
And Aaron Rodgers is all excited now he pulled off
this trade. If you think that this trade would have
not happened without the prodding of Aaron Rodgers, you're a dope.
It's obvious. His fingerprints are all over, just like Nathaniel Hackett,
who was demoted, that's true, but kept his job. The
(08:30):
man should have been fired. He did not deserve to
keep his job. He is a responsible as anybody else.
But because he's buddies with Aaron Rodgers, like I will
do you a solid, We'll keep him around. We'll keep
him around, all right. Final point, So after the deal,
the Devonte Adams trade, Davonte made a surprise appearance with
YouTuber Pat McAfee, and he said, Hey, I am ready
(08:51):
to go. I am ready to go. This after missing
weeks because the hammy went whammy for Devonte Adams. Abra
Cadabra Prestoe, just like that, all of a sudden, He's
gonna go. He said, quote, I'm feeling great, man. I
was working with the staff in Vegas the whole time
(09:13):
and they got me back right. So fortunately I'll be
able to roll, said Davonte Adams. So question for the
Esteemed panel, which you are part of. Devonte Adams has
now said that his hamstring that would not allow him
to play in the last couple of Raider games is
all of a sudden great. It feels just great. G
(09:33):
R E A T after his trade to the Jets.
How does this one hit you? So I'm gonna go
old school here, but it's not really old school because
it's still relevant on the interweb. WCWS style er go.
Let's go back over twenty years ago. It was a
pay per view event and a wrestler named Kevin Nash.
(09:56):
He had supposedly broken his leg and you probably see
this if you didn't watch the WCW back then. And
I didn't watch it much either, but I did see
this at the time because it was a famous moment
and it's still been saved for posterity sake. So the
storyline was, if I remember correctly, Rick Flair and some
other guy had broken Kevin Nash's leg, the wrestler, and
so then the pay per view event, he came out
(10:19):
in a wheelchair, had a blanket over him, and it
was the old think leg thing. It was the old
finke leg trick, and he was sitting in the wheelchair
and then he tossed away the blanket and stood up
and got the ring. That is essentially what DeVante Adam
is doing right Chase laundry and now all of a
sudden he's hanging out with Rogers. He probably gonna stay
(10:39):
at Aaron Rodgers' house, ready to go, and they're singing
Kumbaya and roasting marshmallows around the fire. Everything is good,
oh so good. It is the Ben Mallards Show. If

(12:09):
It's the Coop the Loop Justin Cooper, and he's at
uh Bronco Fan.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You don't want to fluffer nutter in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Atlive from the tirerac dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Mahler.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Wait, it's our Mallard. The third degree will be coming along.
An old popular conspiracy theory that we've talked about years
ago is back. We'll get see that coming up in
a couple of minutes. We began with the DeVante Adams trade.
You don't have to be Adam schefter Jay Glazer to
know that this was likely to happen, and he did.
(12:47):
The Jets have acquired Devonte Adams from the Raiders, as
the Raiders have raised the white flag, although easy to
do because he didn't want to play there so he
had quit on the team. Obviously quit on the team
based on the fact that he's good to go all
of a sudden just by traveling three thousand miles or
less than that, he's able to play. Casey Carr Holler says,
(13:08):
I hear Aman Green and Antonio Freeman were joining the
Jets as well, not Mike McCarthy. Big grig Rob says,
I cannot wait for the Green Bay Packer reunion to
include with the Jets the great David Bachtiari. I think
he retired, though it doesn't matter who cares. If Rogers
(13:32):
wants him, he'll go there he mentioned Sterling Sharp as well,
because he's getting fired soon. Why not mich McCarthy a
plus for our number two, So he says ALF the a.
ALF says, great wrestling comparison. My favorite was the perpetual
broken arm of cowboy Bob Orton, You who seems to
(13:54):
have a broken arm for years. Yeah, that was a
good one. But here's the problem, Alf. The one I
use is already twenty years old, but it's still alive
my reference because it's on the interweb all the time.
In meme mode, gift mode, Spock's Weed says, continue to
enjoy the literary references. Oscar Wilde is the bomb. A
(14:18):
lot of quality quotes that have stood the test of time.
Speaking of the test of time, I was trying to
explain to my wife the other day. She was watching
The Wizard of Oz right, and I was like, I
was trying to explain it, like we still quote that
movie a lot. There's a lot of references. If you
listen to the show, I'll reference The Wizard of Oz
and something about that movie on a probably once a
(14:41):
week it'll come up on the show in a monologue.
But my point was, if they made that movie today,
it would have bombed. Nobody would have watched it. They
would have been it's a crappy movie, it's stupid, and
it wouldn't have done it. But because at the time,
all those old all those old movies, early Hollywood movies
were terrible.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Compared the new Mine pretty and You're a Dog.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, compared to what they have, you know, And maybe
not now, because the movies now are pretty unwatchable. But
in the golden era of movies, which really depends how
old you are, but the quality of the movie, how
they made the movies was better. But it's just that
stuff came early, and the stuff that came early has
stood the test of time, while it just wasn't particularly
all that great.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I'm sure I've said this before on the show, but
I've never seen The Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I'm competing.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
We're not in Kansas anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I'm not shocked by that you have not seen The
Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I've watched a lot of movies. I'm sure I watch
more movies than you do.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
But but I watched the classics. Really, yeah, absolutely all
of them. Name all of them. Name a classic movie,
Gone with the Wind, Saw, Gone with the Wind, I
was forced as a child to see that. I want
to see that, but I was forced to see it.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
How were you worst?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
My mom? Is it is important you, Benny.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You will sit there and you will.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Watch it all four hours? All right? Just give me popcorn, mom? Whatever? Alright? Fine?
How about the Creature from the Black Lagoon? You ever
seen that one?
Speaker 7 (16:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I watched that terrible movie?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Was that even a talkie? Was that a silent movie?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
No? No, it was. It was an early movie. It
was It was filmed on a sound stage somewhere, probably
not far away from Fox Sports Radio's headquarters.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And it was just terrible. But you were not scared?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
No, I was sorry. I was not afraid of the Boogeyman. Hey,
speaking of the Boogeyman, you know we've not heard from
in a while, a certain guy from Minnesota who is
not called. You think he's been arrested or you think
he's like on the down low or something like that.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You're talking about Hayes.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, Hayes in Minnesota. Yeah, heard from it.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It wouldn't shock me if he was traveling, you know,
looking for his next victim.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Wow, that's Eddie, I I say, no victim. I maybe
he just got a bunch of speeding tickets and that's
why he got in trouble. Elloy from Compton says, the
Jets are going to be signing Jordi Nelson to a contract.
I'm sure he's on the short list. If somebody gets hurt,
Jordan Nelson will get a call. Let's go to the
phones and we'll say hello to Dominican Mike. Who's up next? Hello,
(17:14):
Dominican Mike. Welcome.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Hey gave me Ben.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
How you doing tonight?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Man?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
If I was any better, I'd be a guardian, but
not a Cleveland Guardian because think, man, if.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
I don't even go to five games, are they gonna
win a game?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
That's crazy?
Speaker 8 (17:30):
They are playing bad.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Well, they gotta win gear Free right. If they don't
win game three, it's a sweep them that Yeah, yeah, okay,
it's over.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Ben. I wanted to, uh, you know, I'm calling you
today and I'll probably call you nick sometime this week
because I want to go back to Florida next week.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
I can't call you again.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Boo boo boo.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
The Dodgers floss of the met correct.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yes, I hit that plan for the Can you say
the name?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Can you pronounce the name please?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Why do you know him? Or something like that, or
you have.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
A better read the name?
Speaker 7 (18:10):
Please?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Well what do I if I say it incorrectly? Are
you gonna win the bet? Or are you gonna lose
the bet?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
What are you gonna have at you?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Because I want what to do for now the name?
Because yesterday you said it and I was like, se I.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Butchered, I butchered the name yesterday. Well his name is Ventos?
Is his name Mark Vientos?
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Now?
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Yeah, look at you now you did you did say
that yesterday?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
That's for sure. Yeah, we're you're a friend. And what
I do sometimes uh And I learned this from Rick
d Is, an old radio guy. I could do a
perfect show. I could come out here and nail everything
and it just be a perfect show. But I have
to be relatable. So sometimes, just to make sure that
you are listening Dominican Mike, I will make an intentional mistake,
(18:55):
just to see if you're engaged. I'll mispronounce something, see right, Yeah,
I mean, but I don't I don't have to do that.
I mean, I'm fine, not not messing around that. I
could just do a perfect show, but how boring would
that be. Nobody wants to hear a perfect show. It
makes me more relatable. It makes me more relatable if
I ever. I learned that from Chris Russo of Mike
(19:18):
and the Mad Dog. Was that his name Chris Ethics?
So yeah, he would f up all the time, right,
people love him, So I just have to f up
everyone so ought to be more relatable.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
All right, I'll give you that. Then, I guess i'll
give you that. But it was funny what you said yesterday,
said like the soil, like something weird, like way off.
But I was saying a pension, as.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You can tell, that's right, And it caused you to react,
and you were so excited you probably pumped your chest out.
It says Mallard fed up, I'm gonna call up. I'm
gonna embarrass Mallard on the air. And and you tried
and it didn't quite work, and I'm sorry about that.
I will try if he's I'll make a deal with
you if he if he hits another Grand Slam on
(19:58):
Wednesday night, I will mispronounce his name again. How about that?
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Awesome?
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Looking forward to that, looking forward to that? All right,
Eddy Eddy, you said that when you have the who
in my game, Hendy called out, Uh.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
He used to play for the Box and extpoles or whatever. Right,
that was the answer.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
Yes, that guy got shot in the head four times.
He got killed in the back of the head, like
four or five times.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, I thought you were going to say he survived.
Would I mean, I don't think that's I think the
math on that's impossible to survive that.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
I think maybe i'd be quite impressive or discurvice.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
So you know, was that was that a drug deal
gone bad or something, or was that.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
He got a lot of kids.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
He had like seventy eight kids, so maybe mama drama.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
So anyway, all right, all right, travel, all right, thank you?
There he goes. You're making Mike. That was what called
got your Call? That was he tried to do a
got your Call, and I stopped him. I cut him
off at the pass mark Vientos of the New York Metropolitans,
who will not hit another home run the rest of
(21:08):
this series. That was it. That was his one moment
in the sun, and now it's back to reality and
shut down. And then I saw Walker Buehler pitching, and
then I'm like, well, he's probably not gonna be shut
down because Walker Buehler stinks. Bird Dog says, I love
your intentional mistakes.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
It keeps me on my toes. That's why we do it.
Listen again, I could be perfect. My nickname in broadcasting
school was mister Perfect. That was my nickname. Let's go
back to the phones and we'll say hello to Andrea,
the astrology lady. She's in the bay and even though
she's a Mets fan, she's not calling about the Mets. No, no, no,
(21:49):
She's calling about Judgment Day, is what she's falling about.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Yes, that's I mean, yeah, nothing against your Dodgers, but
I'd love the Subway series. It's a Mets at the Yankee.
So that said, I guess he's a fellow Taurus Aaron Jazz.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, that's well, all Tauruses are great, that's why.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Yeah. April twenty sixth, nineteen ninety two. And he's got
that really determined Taurus energy. And this was his first
home run in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
But well, this year's now, he's hit home runs in
the past, but this year he hadn't had any home runs.
But yeah, he's got like fourteen home runs in his
career in the postseason. But he's just not as good
as he is during the regular season. He's a downgrade.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Yeah, you know, it'll be interesting because he is having
a positive Mars aspect, and as you know, Mars's energy,
assertion and aggression. So he's feeling more practical and productive,
and you know that tourist energy. It's very persevering and
very deliberate and determined. So I'm thinking good thoughts. I really,
(22:54):
you know, he seemed almost relieved band that he finally.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah in a home run.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Well, let him get it out of his system in
the ALCS and then when he plays the Dodgers in
the World Series, no home runs, so you can hit
it all out there. And I'm sorry your Mets are
going to lose to the Dodgers. Yeah, and you're a
friend of the show and all that. But you know,
all fair and love war and talk radio.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
They're all fair and love war and baseball. You know,
it's what makes us unique and what makes us take
and we give each other the space to like our
personal teams. And this is an exciting time of year.
We got baseball, we got football, We got the forty
nine Ers playing the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, the game of the weekend, the forty nine Ers
and the Chiefs. That's the game this week.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Yeah, of course it's the same time as the Mets
and the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Great planning, tremendous planning by the people in charge there.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Yeah right, Yeah, it's a sports sorcerers to do. But yeah,
it should be a busy weekend. It's just kind of
fun to be that energy this time of year. And again,
I like Aaron Judge. I like that trust energy. It's
very loyal and very deliberate and enduring and consistent.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I got you, all right, Well, thank you, Andrea, enjoy
the game. I'm sure we'll hear from you as the
Mets and Dodgers continue with Game three tonight. There she goes,
she's got a broom, and remember she does not she's
got a well no, but she she says she may
or may not have a bro but we determined that
she does not. She says on the show, she takes
a bath after the show, Andrea, but it's really it is.
(24:32):
It's a witch's brew. That's what she does. She goes
into a witch's brew and stews, is what she does.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And we are working our way through the overnight. We
have Mallard of the third Degree that'll be coming up
in a little bit, a little bit but time. Now,
let's have some fun. What do you say? Fun fund
Mallard fun fact. Many of my friends who follow the
meds or convinced that God's gift to baseball is Francisco Lindor,
(25:05):
But apparently not according to those that vote for the
Gold Glove Award, as Lindor was not not named a
Gold Glove finalist that shortstop in the National League. Put
that in your pipe and smoke it and enjoy that.
Enjoy that very much, all right, mass o. Mickey Wright
(25:25):
Sin says the Wizard of Oz is great looped up
with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. So he
he says, Sean in the Valley of the Sun. And
he's a former radio guy friend of Eddie. He doesn't
like me, says, Utah needs a baseball team. I don't
know about that. I don't know alf the Pina says.
(25:49):
If your listener last hour didn't like your fun fact,
check out the one my game gave me. He says
here in the upper right, and he says, Tom Landry
middle School. Yeah, he says, is that what you're Tom?
Andrey died February twelfth, two thousand. Okay, that's wonderful? Is
(26:11):
that it? I don't know, Oh, King of the Hill, wonderful?
All right? It is the Ben Maybe I missed the
joke on that. It is the Ben Malis Show. Milkman
Mike and Colorado says, DeVante Adams has just pulled the
wool over the Raiders eyes. It is the equivalent of
someone claiming disability then going out and running amuck after
they got paid. It does appear that way. Now we'll see,
(26:35):
and knowing the way the Jets go, Rogers will go
out there the first pass of the game, he'll hit
a forty yard bomb to Devonte Adams, and as Adams
is crossing the ten yard line and heading towards the
end zone, his hamstring will pop and he'll be done
for the year. Wouldn't be shocked if that happens either,
But at this point, based on what we have seen
and his activity, I would say there's some funny business
(26:58):
going on. Andy writes and says, listen, I'm not sure
I agree, old school Hollywood isn't a good movie making operation,
especially when compared to the trash that passes as a
blockbuster these days. The crisp dialogue and beautiful cinematology, photography
rather looks great, and the sound of music rules. Well.
(27:18):
The movies now, I think are pretty bad. But there
was a period of time for many years where they
made solid movies and it was an event. It was
a social event. You know, before the interweb. You went
to the movies. That's what you did on the weekends.
Right Friday and Saturday was a big night it popcorn,
you know, hang out and couldn't wait for the new
movies to come out. It ain't like that anymore. No,
(27:40):
I hadn't been like that in a long time. And
so that's just the things change, and that's the way
the world. So several of you idiots have sent me
this clip which we've talked about this in the past,
and I don't know. We used to have this guy
Bobo on the radio that worked here and he had
told us some stuff and he didn't know for sure
and all that, and it's another there's this video which
(28:00):
is about Stevie Wonder and the claim in then have
you seen this or not? But the claim is it's
Stevie Wonder looking at a jumbo tron. Now, A, I
don't think it's Stevie Wonder in the clip. I think
that's somebody else who they just are saying is Stevie Wonder.
So I don't think it's Stevie Wader because Stevie Wonder
is in his early seventies and the person in the
video appears to be much younger than that. So but
(28:20):
you're all convinced because the video shows the person looking
up at the jumbo tron and you're like, well, there
it is Stevie Wonder.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Now, there are some weird videos on the Internet of
Stevie Wonder, like the one of him catching the microphone,
the falling microphone, that's a tough one. Reports of him
buying a lot of televisions for his house seemed a
little odd. And there's different random factoids over the year
like this one. Don't I don't think that's Stevie Wonder.
(28:50):
I think a lot of people are being hornswoggled. But
the other video from and that's an old video, it
still bounces around the internet of him catching the mic
I think he was with it was it was some
famous con They had a bunch of big names altogether.
I forget what it was, but it was a long
time ago, and he supposedly caught the mic and he
says his early seventies, maybe even mid seventies. Now, now
(29:13):
let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to the
Beast of the East. Hello, Beast of the East.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
Hey, mister mill or second time color. But listen a
lot man, Good, great, Joe.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I appreciate that. Well, what what brings you to the
show here? What are you doing here late at night?
Speaker 8 (29:32):
What do you want? You going to bring up a
good sports topic? But first of all, the movies you
brought up Wizard of Ods, yeah, and Creature of the
Black Lagoon for me, watch the movies were great back then.
When they got to all the blood and gory, the
Friday the eighteenth or whatever it was, I could watch
it turn them off because they were just so stupid.
(29:54):
But Wizard of Oz is very interesting because you can
watch that movie. I'm a movie buff, and that's in
my top twenty all times. You can watch that movie
twelve times and learn something every single time you watch it.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
No, but you understand the Beast. I agree with you,
But my point is that it's the timing of it
that if it came out now, people would have said, oh,
it's not that good, blah blah blah. They would have
put it down and said it's it's a I'm not sure.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
I agree with it. I think it's still would have
hit it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's a bad take. That's a bad that's a bad
cinema take by you, Beast of the East. How dare
you bad take?
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Well?
Speaker 8 (30:33):
I'm and I'm a movie buff too. Here's a good Now,
let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Let me let me ask you this piece. What makes
one a movie buff? What what makes someone beat a
movie buff?
Speaker 8 (30:44):
When you look for the class and talent in movies
and how the characters play out. I have you know
a few genres that I favor? I'm sure as you
do too.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yeah, well, for sure, we all, we all do. I
enjoy eighties comedies, That's what I like. But now Lrena
told me in my headphones, here is it true? As
a movie buff, the greatest movie of all time? Liar, liar?
Is that true? East of the East?
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Oh my gosh, No, I can tell you what the
worst movie is.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Dum dumb dumbers.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
I'll get on the hand of that, but there was
a good movie and a jerk that's a really good
version of dumb dumber. Anyways, by trivia for you on
Where's it about? You know why the film was filmed
half in black and white and half in color.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I don't know why.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Because the same Warner Brothers released that and Gone with
the Wind at the same year, same year, nineteen thirty nine.
Gone with the Wind used up all of their color
money budget. They only had so much left, so they
did it in half in black and white and half
and they did it perfectly.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That's what made That's a fun fact. That sounds like
radio stations I worked at in the past. We don't
have the budget so fun fact. No, that was not
my fun fact. That was the Beast of the East
in Rochester's fun fact. That wasn't my fun fact. That
was his fun fact.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
That's a good fun fact. And here's one more. Do
you know who was to be the tin Man originally
instead of Jack Hayley? No, who Buddy Epsen from Beverly Hillbillies.
And the reason he couldn't is back in the day
the tin Man costume was filled with asbestos and he
was allergic to it. He couldn't do the costume.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Well that's a good thing to be allergic to.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Anyways, one more point on it.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Oh but wait, there's more. The Beast of the East
is on a roll. The guy's a machine. That's why
they called the Beast.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Well.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
I did to have a good sports take, but that's
for another night. But the match, we're not going to
be I don't care about that.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You know what was it?
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Twenty sixteen fifteen lost to the Royals.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
At least they tried.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
The two thousand World Series between the match and the
Yankeies was lost in Game one at Mike Piazza's first
step bat when the bat broke when he hit the ball,
half the bat went the Roger Clements, who was pitching.
Clembents picked the bat up, shot it back right at
Piazza and he pushed it out. Sorry for my bad language.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, I like that, you repeated it though. Let's good.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Yeah, the World Series was over at that point.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I got it. I gotta I gotta go, beast, But
I love you call me more often. There there's the Beast.
Movie guy. That's a movie guy.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'm kidding out for sure, man kiddie out.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, Well he was talking about a flower, Larrena, the
pussy willow flower. I know that I was talking about. Yeah,
I can ask Clay Travis about that. So Nick Sirianni
called out by a team officials in Philadelphia. There his
behavior called embarrassing. So that's that's another nail in the
(34:02):
coffin of Nick Sirianni when the executives off the record
are trashing you, Awa Mallard of the third degree. Here's
the Insta trivia. Blank is the only starting quarterback in

Time now for the install trivia of the Man. We'll
get to Mallard of the third It. Here's in the
instant trivia. Blank is the only starting quarterback in the
league who does not have a first down completion on
a third and long yet this season. That is the question.
What is the answer? Kyle went with Gus Farott, Slim
(35:14):
Tim says the creepy quarterback, Buddy Epsen, guests by the
Casey Car Haller, Robin Vegas, Jesse the Body Ventura is

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Do you have an answer?
Speaker 7 (35:54):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yes, it's former Baltimore Ravens legendary quarterback Chris Redman.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
No, it is mister Alligator Arms Murray, Kyler Murray the Martinals.
Here we go, go to the third degree. This is
one big.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Fan gets grilled.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
But I was suggested on Monday that the Jaguars could
put Travis Etn on the trade block with the emergence
of Tank Bigsby. And then, if true, who do you
think should go after him?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Well, nobody because he's not that good. He's he's been
hurt most of his career and he's a running back,
so by default he's worth what a sixth round draft
pick or something like that. And then he was drafted
relatively high. He was a believe that was the Urban
Meyer draft the back of the day. So he's got
no market. There is no market for Etn, there's nothing
(36:51):
there and Tank Bigsby is the better players. So the
team sucks, So who cares next? I went talking to
the media.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Jamika Ryan's previewed Texans Week seven matchup against the Packers
and said that Jordan Love will be the best quarterback
they've played all year. Now, it's not saying much because
they've played a lot of tomato cans, but they also
played Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, Ben, do you think Love is better than Allen?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Well in the moment, and of course he's gonna say
that because that's who's next. But Jordan Love, who had
some rocky moments there, he has been he has been
better than Josh. Now, overall, Allen's had a better season,
but of late it is mister Love. Although the Texans
they got a good record, I'm still not impressed with
the Texans despite their sexy ass record.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Next, Joel Embiid was talking about the seventy six ers
approach to prioritizing his health for the playoffs and admitted
that he probably won't play another back to back again
in his career.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Do you think that'll actually happen?
Speaker 2 (37:48):
And then should it be allowed?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Well, what are they gonna do if he says he
physically can't play back to back? It's something where he
coming out of Kansas, he was hurt and it's just
a shame. The guy's thirty years old. He's already How
is it back to back? Eye? How did we know
he passes? Adition? That is a win. Partner on the board,
Trust the process, the process,
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bird two as we
work up an appetite for the original recipe podcast, The
Ben Maler Show. Here an hour two. It's all about
the trade game. What grade do you give the DeVante
Adams trade between the Raiders and the Jets. Also, Aaron
Rogers says the Jets are going all in on Davante
(00:23):
Adams and that trade is that? How you see this?
And Adams himself says that abracadabra, his hamstring is refeels great.
This if you're missing the last couple of games for
the Raiders. But all of a sudden he's healthy, just
putting on that Jet's uniform. How does this one hit you?
We'll cluster all that together and more right now as
(00:46):
we bob and weave in our number two. The band
is back together. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere,
socializing as we kiss and tell coast to coast, border,
(01:08):
the border and beyond on the mast and wondrously powerful
microphones of FSR open all night and emmanating live from
the post. The Trading Post is open for business. We're
broadcasting live from the ti Raq dot com studios. Tyrack
dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
(01:31):
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended in starars tyrack dot com the way tire
buying should be. I know our friend Tammy in Vegas,
Tammy in Vegas very happy about that number. Ten thousand
sort lead this hour is from the big NFL story.
(01:51):
There were a couple of decent sized NFL stories good
news days. They said, I'd like to spread it out.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
A little more.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So there's a little bit here, in, a little bit there,
a little bit everywhere. We didn't get that. So our
lead is out of the trading block just hours after gagging. Boy,
what what a gag it was against the Jets, a
gang green played. Let's make a deal because if you
want people not to talk about how bad you played
(02:19):
and how your quarterback choked with a game winning drive
and you just sucked at a time, you cannot suck
you out and make a trade. So that's that's what happened.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I assume you know by now. How would you not
know if you paid any attention. But there's a chance
maybe you've been living in a van down by the river,
and you haven't been paying attention. So the Jets have crossed,
They've crossed the t's, they've dotted the eyes on a
trade for Raiders star wide receiver DeVante Adams. Boy, who
(02:50):
could have seen that one coming? Everybody? Vegas received a
twenty twenty five conditional third round pick in the trade.
Now for comedic reasons, the pick could improve to a
second round selection if the following criteria is meant. Now
this is written by professional joke writers. If Devonte Adams
(03:11):
is a first or second team All Pro this season,
or if the Jets have him on the active roster
for the AFC Championship Game or the Super Bowl. In
other words, the Raiders got a third round pick for
Devonte Adams. So let us discuss the question what grade?
(03:31):
What grade do you give the Devonte Adams trade between
the Raiders and the Jets. So I have a boiler
plate disclaimer Aladdin and WSCW and we're gonna go hot
diggity and put all these together.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
So n.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Mal the report card. The Jets get only a C plus.
That's it, only a C plus. The Raiders get the D.
And so the Raiders have to go with the d
on this. Now Vegas traded a known commodity, a guy
that had quit quiet quit on the Raiders, choot you
quite quick, Devonte Adams for a pack of scratcher tickets. Now,
(04:15):
we used to have a guy that called the show
a lot doesn't call the show much anymore, named Sir
scratch Off, who's addicted to the lottery. Plays tons of
scratcher tickets, doesn't win very much because most of them
don't hit. Right now, Devonte Adams big name, and so
from that perspective, the Jets are all horny. They're all
excited by getting Devonte Adams. However, his performance has not
(04:35):
been elite elite in a number of years, and the owner,
Woody Johnson, says that the status quo is killer and
the primary driving force behind the Jets reuniting Deavonte Adams
and Aaron Rogers. Now, Woody from the Johnson and Johnson
(04:57):
fame talked about building culture. That's the term he used,
building culture, and how Adams would open everything up. Now,
that is a fresh take. That is a cute take.
It's also a cheesy culture, a cheese fund type of culture.
And this is the part where you cue the boiler
(05:19):
plate disclaimer for the Jets going forward, any rebroadcast, retransmission,
or account of Devonte adams performance without the express written
consent of the Green Bay Packers is prohibited. Because what
the Jets are trying to do is recreate the Green
Bay Packers from like five years ago. Right, They're looking
(05:39):
to clone the cheeseheads, and they're sending out smoke signals
as they take the plunge. Now, keep in mind, DeVante Adams,
I believe, was in Wisconsin for parts of eight seasons
in northern Wisconsin. And while he compiled a lot of stats,
a lot of numbers to my knowledge that were no
(06:00):
Super Bowl appearances there, right, that didn't happen. And now
they're both older, Rogers and Davante, and they get what
they want, one last dance together. Both have a lot
more mileage on the odometer. Now, page two, talking about
the musical chairs, as we ride the wave here Aaron Rogers. Now,
(06:20):
Aaron Rodgers says, the Jets are going all in on
Devonte Adams in that trade. Is that how you see it?
So they're going all in, but not in winning. This
is not about winning. This is about cow towing to
Rogers is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It's another example of room service delivery to the quarterback.
And it reminds you of the genie from Aladdin. And
you know, Aaron Rodgers has been granted phenomenal cosmic powers
because of what he did in Wisconsin, not what he's
done with the Jets by the owner there would he
And it's more out of the Association playbook. This is
(07:00):
something you see in the NBA where Lebron James and
Ann Rodgers and Lebron have a lot in common. They're passive,
aggressive nature, but it's the star running the show. And
I still chuckle at a week ago when Aaron Rodgers
got all offended that people thought he was running the Jets. Well,
any doubt is now gone. He is the GM by
(07:22):
proxy of the Jets. And again, your wish is my command,
just like Aladdin. You're tired of Aaron, Aaron, You're tired
of Robert Salad. Will get rid of Robert Salad. Right,
he's a killjoy, all right, his ass is grasped. You
want your buddy demonte Adams done right, done, done done.
Next thing we're gonna get. The Jets will be playing
half their home games at lambeau Field, because that's where
(07:46):
Rogers plays well at lambeau Field, So why not They'll
just play a few games at lambeau every year. Nobody
will care. Okay, be careful though, a very important life lesson.
You don't often learn this till you get older in life.
But be careful what you wish for. It's like the
the famous saying from Oscar Wilde that there are only
two tragedies in life. One is not getting what you
(08:09):
want and the other is actually getting what you want.
And Aaron Rodgers is all excited now he pulled off
this trade. If you think that this trade would have
not happened without the prodding of Aaron Rodgers, you're a dope.
It's obvious. His fingerprints are all over, just like Nathaniel Hackett,
who was demoted, that's true, but kept his job. The
(08:30):
man should have been fired. He did not deserve to
keep his job. He is a responsible as anybody else.
But because he's buddies with Aaron Rodgers, like I will
do you a solid, We'll keep him around. We'll keep
him around, all right. Final point, So after the deal,
the Devonte Adams trade, Davonte made a surprise appearance with
YouTuber Pat McAfee, and he said, Hey, I am ready
(08:51):
to go. I am ready to go. This after missing
weeks because the hammy went whammy for Devonte Adams. Abra
Cadabra Prestoe, just like that, all of a sudden, He's
gonna go. He said, quote, I'm feeling great, man. I
was working with the staff in Vegas the whole time
(09:13):
and they got me back right. So fortunately I'll be
able to roll, said Davonte Adams. So question for the
Esteemed panel, which you are part of. Devonte Adams has
now said that his hamstring that would not allow him
to play in the last couple of Raider games is
all of a sudden great. It feels just great. G
(09:33):
R E A T after his trade to the Jets.
How does this one hit you? So I'm gonna go
old school here, but it's not really old school because
it's still relevant on the interweb. WCWS style er go.
Let's go back over twenty years ago. It was a
pay per view event and a wrestler named Kevin Nash.
(09:56):
He had supposedly broken his leg and you probably see
this if you didn't watch the WCW back then. And
I didn't watch it much either, but I did see
this at the time because it was a famous moment
and it's still been saved for posterity sake. So the
storyline was, if I remember correctly, Rick Flair and some
other guy had broken Kevin Nash's leg, the wrestler, and
so then the pay per view event, he came out
(10:19):
in a wheelchair, had a blanket over him, and it
was the old think leg thing. It was the old
finke leg trick, and he was sitting in the wheelchair
and then he tossed away the blanket and stood up
and got the ring. That is essentially what DeVante Adam
is doing right Chase laundry and now all of a
sudden he's hanging out with Rogers. He probably gonna stay
(10:39):
at Aaron Rodgers' house, ready to go, and they're singing
Kumbaya and roasting marshmallows around the fire. Everything is good,
oh so good. It is the Ben Mallards Show. If

Atlive from the tirerac dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Mahler.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Wait, it's our Mallard. The third degree will be coming along.
An old popular conspiracy theory that we've talked about years
ago is back. We'll get see that coming up in
a couple of minutes. We began with the DeVante Adams trade.
You don't have to be Adam schefter Jay Glazer to
know that this was likely to happen, and he did.
(12:47):
The Jets have acquired Devonte Adams from the Raiders, as
the Raiders have raised the white flag, although easy to
do because he didn't want to play there so he
had quit on the team. Obviously quit on the team
based on the fact that he's good to go all
of a sudden just by traveling three thousand miles or
less than that, he's able to play. Casey Carr Holler says,
(13:08):
I hear Aman Green and Antonio Freeman were joining the
Jets as well, not Mike McCarthy. Big grig Rob says,
I cannot wait for the Green Bay Packer reunion to
include with the Jets the great David Bachtiari. I think
he retired, though it doesn't matter who cares. If Rogers
(13:32):
wants him, he'll go there he mentioned Sterling Sharp as well,
because he's getting fired soon. Why not mich McCarthy a
plus for our number two, So he says ALF the a.
ALF says, great wrestling comparison. My favorite was the perpetual
broken arm of cowboy Bob Orton, You who seems to
(13:54):
have a broken arm for years. Yeah, that was a
good one. But here's the problem, Alf. The one I
use is already twenty years old, but it's still alive
my reference because it's on the interweb all the time.
In meme mode, gift mode, Spock's Weed says, continue to
enjoy the literary references. Oscar Wilde is the bomb. A
(14:18):
lot of quality quotes that have stood the test of time.
Speaking of the test of time, I was trying to
explain to my wife the other day. She was watching
The Wizard of Oz right, and I was like, I
was trying to explain it, like we still quote that
movie a lot. There's a lot of references. If you
listen to the show, I'll reference The Wizard of Oz
and something about that movie on a probably once a
(14:41):
week it'll come up on the show in a monologue.
But my point was, if they made that movie today,
it would have bombed. Nobody would have watched it. They
would have been it's a crappy movie, it's stupid, and
it wouldn't have done it. But because at the time,
all those old all those old movies, early Hollywood movies
were terrible.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Compared the new Mine pretty and You're a Dog.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, compared to what they have, you know, And maybe
not now, because the movies now are pretty unwatchable. But
in the golden era of movies, which really depends how
old you are, but the quality of the movie, how
they made the movies was better. But it's just that
stuff came early, and the stuff that came early has
stood the test of time, while it just wasn't particularly
all that great.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I'm sure I've said this before on the show, but
I've never seen The Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I'm competing.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
We're not in Kansas anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I'm not shocked by that you have not seen The
Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I've watched a lot of movies. I'm sure I watch
more movies than you do.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
But but I watched the classics. Really, yeah, absolutely all
of them. Name all of them. Name a classic movie,
Gone with the Wind, Saw, Gone with the Wind, I
was forced as a child to see that. I want
to see that, but I was forced to see it.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
How were you worst?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
My mom? Is it is important you, Benny.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You will sit there and you will.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Watch it all four hours? All right? Just give me popcorn, mom? Whatever? Alright? Fine?
How about the Creature from the Black Lagoon? You ever
seen that one?
Speaker 7 (16:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I watched that terrible movie?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Was that even a talkie? Was that a silent movie?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
No? No, it was. It was an early movie. It
was It was filmed on a sound stage somewhere, probably
not far away from Fox Sports Radio's headquarters.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And it was just terrible. But you were not scared?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
No, I was sorry. I was not afraid of the Boogeyman. Hey,
speaking of the Boogeyman, you know we've not heard from
in a while, a certain guy from Minnesota who is
not called. You think he's been arrested or you think
he's like on the down low or something like that.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You're talking about Hayes.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, Hayes in Minnesota. Yeah, heard from it.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It wouldn't shock me if he was traveling, you know,
looking for his next victim.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Wow, that's Eddie, I I say, no victim. I maybe
he just got a bunch of speeding tickets and that's
why he got in trouble. Elloy from Compton says, the
Jets are going to be signing Jordi Nelson to a contract.
I'm sure he's on the short list. If somebody gets hurt,
Jordan Nelson will get a call. Let's go to the
phones and we'll say hello to Dominican Mike. Who's up next? Hello,
(17:14):
Dominican Mike. Welcome.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Hey gave me Ben.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
How you doing tonight?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Man?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
If I was any better, I'd be a guardian, but
not a Cleveland Guardian because think, man, if.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
I don't even go to five games, are they gonna
win a game?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
That's crazy?
Speaker 8 (17:30):
They are playing bad.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Well, they gotta win gear Free right. If they don't
win game three, it's a sweep them that Yeah, yeah, okay,
it's over.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Ben. I wanted to, uh, you know, I'm calling you
today and I'll probably call you nick sometime this week
because I want to go back to Florida next week.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
I can't call you again.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Boo boo boo.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
The Dodgers floss of the met correct.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yes, I hit that plan for the Can you say
the name?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Can you pronounce the name please?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Why do you know him? Or something like that, or
you have.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
A better read the name?
Speaker 7 (18:10):
Please?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Well what do I if I say it incorrectly? Are
you gonna win the bet? Or are you gonna lose
the bet?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
What are you gonna have at you?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Because I want what to do for now the name?
Because yesterday you said it and I was like, se I.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Butchered, I butchered the name yesterday. Well his name is Ventos?
Is his name Mark Vientos?
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Now?
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Yeah, look at you now you did you did say
that yesterday?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
That's for sure. Yeah, we're you're a friend. And what
I do sometimes uh And I learned this from Rick
d Is, an old radio guy. I could do a
perfect show. I could come out here and nail everything
and it just be a perfect show. But I have
to be relatable. So sometimes, just to make sure that
you are listening Dominican Mike, I will make an intentional mistake,
(18:55):
just to see if you're engaged. I'll mispronounce something, see right, Yeah,
I mean, but I don't I don't have to do that.
I mean, I'm fine, not not messing around that. I
could just do a perfect show, but how boring would
that be. Nobody wants to hear a perfect show. It
makes me more relatable. It makes me more relatable if
I ever. I learned that from Chris Russo of Mike
(19:18):
and the Mad Dog. Was that his name Chris Ethics?
So yeah, he would f up all the time, right,
people love him, So I just have to f up
everyone so ought to be more relatable.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
All right, I'll give you that. Then, I guess i'll
give you that. But it was funny what you said yesterday,
said like the soil, like something weird, like way off.
But I was saying a pension, as.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You can tell, that's right, And it caused you to react,
and you were so excited you probably pumped your chest out.
It says Mallard fed up, I'm gonna call up. I'm
gonna embarrass Mallard on the air. And and you tried
and it didn't quite work, and I'm sorry about that.
I will try if he's I'll make a deal with
you if he if he hits another Grand Slam on
(19:58):
Wednesday night, I will mispronounce his name again. How about that?
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Awesome?
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Looking forward to that, looking forward to that? All right,
Eddy Eddy, you said that when you have the who
in my game, Hendy called out, Uh.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
He used to play for the Box and extpoles or whatever. Right,
that was the answer.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
Yes, that guy got shot in the head four times.
He got killed in the back of the head, like
four or five times.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, I thought you were going to say he survived.
Would I mean, I don't think that's I think the
math on that's impossible to survive that.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
I think maybe i'd be quite impressive or discurvice.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
So you know, was that was that a drug deal
gone bad or something, or was that.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
He got a lot of kids.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
He had like seventy eight kids, so maybe mama drama.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
So anyway, all right, all right, travel, all right, thank you?
There he goes. You're making Mike. That was what called
got your Call? That was he tried to do a
got your Call, and I stopped him. I cut him
off at the pass mark Vientos of the New York Metropolitans,
who will not hit another home run the rest of
(21:08):
this series. That was it. That was his one moment
in the sun, and now it's back to reality and
shut down. And then I saw Walker Buehler pitching, and
then I'm like, well, he's probably not gonna be shut
down because Walker Buehler stinks. Bird Dog says, I love
your intentional mistakes.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
It keeps me on my toes. That's why we do it.
Listen again, I could be perfect. My nickname in broadcasting
school was mister Perfect. That was my nickname. Let's go
back to the phones and we'll say hello to Andrea,
the astrology lady. She's in the bay and even though
she's a Mets fan, she's not calling about the Mets. No, no, no,
(21:49):
She's calling about Judgment Day, is what she's falling about.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Yes, that's I mean, yeah, nothing against your Dodgers, but
I'd love the Subway series. It's a Mets at the Yankee.
So that said, I guess he's a fellow Taurus Aaron Jazz.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, that's well, all Tauruses are great, that's why.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Yeah. April twenty sixth, nineteen ninety two. And he's got
that really determined Taurus energy. And this was his first
home run in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
But well, this year's now, he's hit home runs in
the past, but this year he hadn't had any home runs.
But yeah, he's got like fourteen home runs in his
career in the postseason. But he's just not as good
as he is during the regular season. He's a downgrade.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Yeah, you know, it'll be interesting because he is having
a positive Mars aspect, and as you know, Mars's energy,
assertion and aggression. So he's feeling more practical and productive,
and you know that tourist energy. It's very persevering and
very deliberate and determined. So I'm thinking good thoughts. I really,
(22:54):
you know, he seemed almost relieved band that he finally.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah in a home run.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Well, let him get it out of his system in
the ALCS and then when he plays the Dodgers in
the World Series, no home runs, so you can hit
it all out there. And I'm sorry your Mets are
going to lose to the Dodgers. Yeah, and you're a
friend of the show and all that. But you know,
all fair and love war and talk radio.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
They're all fair and love war and baseball. You know,
it's what makes us unique and what makes us take
and we give each other the space to like our
personal teams. And this is an exciting time of year.
We got baseball, we got football, We got the forty
nine Ers playing the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, the game of the weekend, the forty nine Ers
and the Chiefs. That's the game this week.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Yeah, of course it's the same time as the Mets
and the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Great planning, tremendous planning by the people in charge there.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Yeah right, Yeah, it's a sports sorcerers to do. But yeah,
it should be a busy weekend. It's just kind of
fun to be that energy this time of year. And again,
I like Aaron Judge. I like that trust energy. It's
very loyal and very deliberate and enduring and consistent.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I got you, all right, Well, thank you, Andrea, enjoy
the game. I'm sure we'll hear from you as the
Mets and Dodgers continue with Game three tonight. There she goes,
she's got a broom, and remember she does not she's
got a well no, but she she says she may
or may not have a bro but we determined that
she does not. She says on the show, she takes
a bath after the show, Andrea, but it's really it is.
(24:32):
It's a witch's brew. That's what she does. She goes
into a witch's brew and stews, is what she does.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And we are working our way through the overnight. We
have Mallard of the third Degree that'll be coming up
in a little bit, a little bit but time. Now,
let's have some fun. What do you say? Fun fund
Mallard fun fact. Many of my friends who follow the
meds or convinced that God's gift to baseball is Francisco Lindor,
(25:05):
But apparently not according to those that vote for the
Gold Glove Award, as Lindor was not not named a
Gold Glove finalist that shortstop in the National League. Put
that in your pipe and smoke it and enjoy that.
Enjoy that very much, all right, mass o. Mickey Wright
(25:25):
Sin says the Wizard of Oz is great looped up
with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. So he
he says, Sean in the Valley of the Sun. And
he's a former radio guy friend of Eddie. He doesn't
like me, says, Utah needs a baseball team. I don't
know about that. I don't know alf the Pina says.
(25:49):
If your listener last hour didn't like your fun fact,
check out the one my game gave me. He says
here in the upper right, and he says, Tom Landry
middle School. Yeah, he says, is that what you're Tom?
Andrey died February twelfth, two thousand. Okay, that's wonderful? Is
(26:11):
that it? I don't know, Oh, King of the Hill, wonderful?
All right? It is the Ben Maybe I missed the
joke on that. It is the Ben Malis Show. Milkman
Mike and Colorado says, DeVante Adams has just pulled the
wool over the Raiders eyes. It is the equivalent of
someone claiming disability then going out and running amuck after
they got paid. It does appear that way. Now we'll see,
(26:35):
and knowing the way the Jets go, Rogers will go
out there the first pass of the game, he'll hit
a forty yard bomb to Devonte Adams, and as Adams
is crossing the ten yard line and heading towards the
end zone, his hamstring will pop and he'll be done
for the year. Wouldn't be shocked if that happens either,
But at this point, based on what we have seen
and his activity, I would say there's some funny business
(26:58):
going on. Andy writes and says, listen, I'm not sure
I agree, old school Hollywood isn't a good movie making operation,
especially when compared to the trash that passes as a
blockbuster these days. The crisp dialogue and beautiful cinematology, photography
rather looks great, and the sound of music rules. Well.
(27:18):
The movies now, I think are pretty bad. But there
was a period of time for many years where they
made solid movies and it was an event. It was
a social event. You know, before the interweb. You went
to the movies. That's what you did on the weekends.
Right Friday and Saturday was a big night it popcorn,
you know, hang out and couldn't wait for the new
movies to come out. It ain't like that anymore. No,
(27:40):
I hadn't been like that in a long time. And
so that's just the things change, and that's the way
the world. So several of you idiots have sent me
this clip which we've talked about this in the past,
and I don't know. We used to have this guy
Bobo on the radio that worked here and he had
told us some stuff and he didn't know for sure
and all that, and it's another there's this video which
(28:00):
is about Stevie Wonder and the claim in then have
you seen this or not? But the claim is it's
Stevie Wonder looking at a jumbo tron. Now, A, I
don't think it's Stevie Wonder in the clip. I think
that's somebody else who they just are saying is Stevie Wonder.
So I don't think it's Stevie Wader because Stevie Wonder
is in his early seventies and the person in the
video appears to be much younger than that. So but
(28:20):
you're all convinced because the video shows the person looking
up at the jumbo tron and you're like, well, there
it is Stevie Wonder.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Now, there are some weird videos on the Internet of
Stevie Wonder, like the one of him catching the microphone,
the falling microphone, that's a tough one. Reports of him
buying a lot of televisions for his house seemed a
little odd. And there's different random factoids over the year
like this one. Don't I don't think that's Stevie Wonder.
(28:50):
I think a lot of people are being hornswoggled. But
the other video from and that's an old video, it
still bounces around the internet of him catching the mic
I think he was with it was it was some
famous con They had a bunch of big names altogether.
I forget what it was, but it was a long
time ago, and he supposedly caught the mic and he
says his early seventies, maybe even mid seventies. Now, now
(29:13):
let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to the
Beast of the East. Hello, Beast of the East.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
Hey, mister mill or second time color. But listen a
lot man, Good, great, Joe.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I appreciate that. Well, what what brings you to the
show here? What are you doing here late at night?
Speaker 8 (29:32):
What do you want? You going to bring up a
good sports topic? But first of all, the movies you
brought up Wizard of Ods, yeah, and Creature of the
Black Lagoon for me, watch the movies were great back then.
When they got to all the blood and gory, the
Friday the eighteenth or whatever it was, I could watch
it turn them off because they were just so stupid.
(29:54):
But Wizard of Oz is very interesting because you can
watch that movie. I'm a movie buff, and that's in
my top twenty all times. You can watch that movie
twelve times and learn something every single time you watch it.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
No, but you understand the Beast. I agree with you,
But my point is that it's the timing of it
that if it came out now, people would have said, oh,
it's not that good, blah blah blah. They would have
put it down and said it's it's a I'm not sure.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
I agree with it. I think it's still would have
hit it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's a bad take. That's a bad that's a bad
cinema take by you, Beast of the East. How dare
you bad take?
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Well?
Speaker 8 (30:33):
I'm and I'm a movie buff too. Here's a good Now,
let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Let me let me ask you this piece. What makes
one a movie buff? What what makes someone beat a
movie buff?
Speaker 8 (30:44):
When you look for the class and talent in movies
and how the characters play out. I have you know
a few genres that I favor? I'm sure as you
do too.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yeah, well, for sure, we all, we all do. I
enjoy eighties comedies, That's what I like. But now Lrena
told me in my headphones, here is it true? As
a movie buff, the greatest movie of all time? Liar, liar?
Is that true? East of the East?
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Oh my gosh, No, I can tell you what the
worst movie is.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Dum dumb dumbers.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
I'll get on the hand of that, but there was
a good movie and a jerk that's a really good
version of dumb dumber. Anyways, by trivia for you on
Where's it about? You know why the film was filmed
half in black and white and half in color.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I don't know why.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Because the same Warner Brothers released that and Gone with
the Wind at the same year, same year, nineteen thirty nine.
Gone with the Wind used up all of their color
money budget. They only had so much left, so they
did it in half in black and white and half
and they did it perfectly.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That's what made That's a fun fact. That sounds like
radio stations I worked at in the past. We don't
have the budget so fun fact. No, that was not
my fun fact. That was the Beast of the East
in Rochester's fun fact. That wasn't my fun fact. That
was his fun fact.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
That's a good fun fact. And here's one more. Do
you know who was to be the tin Man originally
instead of Jack Hayley? No, who Buddy Epsen from Beverly Hillbillies.
And the reason he couldn't is back in the day
the tin Man costume was filled with asbestos and he
was allergic to it. He couldn't do the costume.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Well that's a good thing to be allergic to.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Anyways, one more point on it.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Oh but wait, there's more. The Beast of the East
is on a roll. The guy's a machine. That's why
they called the Beast.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Well.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
I did to have a good sports take, but that's
for another night. But the match, we're not going to
be I don't care about that.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You know what was it?
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Twenty sixteen fifteen lost to the Royals.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
At least they tried.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
The two thousand World Series between the match and the
Yankeies was lost in Game one at Mike Piazza's first
step bat when the bat broke when he hit the ball,
half the bat went the Roger Clements, who was pitching.
Clembents picked the bat up, shot it back right at
Piazza and he pushed it out. Sorry for my bad language.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, I like that, you repeated it though. Let's good.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Yeah, the World Series was over at that point.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I got it. I gotta I gotta go, beast, But
I love you call me more often. There there's the Beast.
Movie guy. That's a movie guy.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'm kidding out for sure, man kiddie out.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, Well he was talking about a flower, Larrena, the
pussy willow flower. I know that I was talking about. Yeah,
I can ask Clay Travis about that. So Nick Sirianni
called out by a team officials in Philadelphia. There his
behavior called embarrassing. So that's that's another nail in the
(34:02):
coffin of Nick Sirianni when the executives off the record

Time now for the install trivia of the Man. We'll
get to Mallard of the third It. Here's in the
instant trivia. Blank is the only starting quarterback in the
league who does not have a first down completion on
a third and long yet this season. That is the question.
What is the answer? Kyle went with Gus Farott, Slim
(35:14):
Tim says the creepy quarterback, Buddy Epsen, guests by the
Casey Car Haller, Robin Vegas, Jesse the Body Ventura is
his answer. It has to be Pinocchio from The Cowboy Killer.
John Mayer, who's forty seven today from The Late Night
Drug Tester, Fred Sandford from I forty Ian on the

Down Low Bullet, Bob Feller from og Art Puffin. Who
else do we have? The answer is the Elf on

we have? Stevie Wonder checking out his wife's phone from
Alf the Alien o Pineer. All right, Eddie, what's the answer?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Do you have an answer?
Speaker 7 (35:54):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yes, it's former Baltimore Ravens legendary quarterback Chris Redman.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
No, it is mister Alligator Arms Murray, Kyler Murray the Martinals.
Here we go, go to the third degree. This is
one big.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Fan gets grilled.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
But I was suggested on Monday that the Jaguars could
put Travis Etn on the trade block with the emergence
of Tank Bigsby. And then, if true, who do you
think should go after him?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Well, nobody because he's not that good. He's he's been
hurt most of his career and he's a running back,
so by default he's worth what a sixth round draft
pick or something like that. And then he was drafted
relatively high. He was a believe that was the Urban
Meyer draft the back of the day. So he's got
no market. There is no market for Etn, there's nothing
(36:51):
there and Tank Bigsby is the better players. So the
team sucks, So who cares next? I went talking to
the media.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Jamika Ryan's previewed Texans Week seven matchup against the Packers
and said that Jordan Love will be the best quarterback
they've played all year. Now, it's not saying much because
they've played a lot of tomato cans, but they also
played Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, Ben, do you think Love is better than Allen?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Well in the moment, and of course he's gonna say
that because that's who's next. But Jordan Love, who had
some rocky moments there, he has been he has been
better than Josh. Now, overall, Allen's had a better season,
but of late it is mister Love. Although the Texans
they got a good record, I'm still not impressed with
the Texans despite their sexy ass record.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Next, Joel Embiid was talking about the seventy six ers
approach to prioritizing his health for the playoffs and admitted
that he probably won't play another back to back again
in his career.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Do you think that'll actually happen?
Speaker 2 (37:48):
